Suffolk police, schools reach agreement on SRO’s job description

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Exactly two months after a New York Times Magazine article about the deportation of a Honduran immigrant rocked the Huntington school community, Suffolk County Police Department and Suffolk County school superintendents have agreed on a job description for school resource officers.

Kenneth Bossert, president of Suffolk County Schools Superintendents Association, said his organization has been diligently working hand-in-hand with Suffolk police to craft the one-page document that sets out a 19-point bullet list outlining the roles and responsibilities of every school resource officer shared with TBR News Media Feb. 26.

“This document is intended to specify what these roles and responsibilities have been and is in no way intended to modify this existing program, which has achieved much success since it was established decades ago,” read a joint statement issues by Suffolk police and the superintendents association.

Suffolk’s SRO program was established in 1998, but there has never previously been a formal written document outlining the responsibilities of an SRO, according to Bossert.

The issue has become a matter of pressing local concern after ProPublica reporter Hannah Dreier wrote in her Dec. 27 article that Huntington’s SRO officer Drew Fiorello was allegedly involved in providing evidence resulting in the deportation of Alex, a Huntington High School student accused of being involved with MS-13.

“For years, I believed the [school resource officer] was placed there to protect us,” 2016 graduate Savannah Richardson said at Jan. 9 board of education meeting. “I was never aware information shared with the SRO would end up in the hands of ICE.” At the top of new one-page policy document outlining of an SRO’s responsibilities is, “perform all duties, responsibilities, and lawful requirements of a duly sworn Suffolk County police officer.” This is immediately followed by the directive that SRO officers should, “forge and maintain effective relationships” with all students and school staff.

Some of the outlined duties and responsibilities set forth in the SRO policy are

The Town of Huntington and Long Island Power Authority have finally made their opening statements in a court trial that has been more than eight years in the making.

Huntington town officials, LIPA and National Grid are presenting their arguments over the proper tax-assessed value of the Northport Power Station beginning Feb. 25 before Justice Elizabeth Emerson at Suffolk County Supreme Court in Riverhead.

LIPA filed its tax certiorari case over the assessed property tax valuation of the Northport plant in 2010 seeking to reduce its annual taxes by 90 percent, in addition to repayment of all taxes it claims to have overpaid since 2010 — currently more than $550 million.

Huntington Town Attorney Nick Ciappetta said all parties have agreed to start with the bench trial, decided solely by Emerson, by challenging the taxes paid on the plant in 2014.

“Even though they have filed petitions to challenge every year beginning in 2011, they have to file petitions individually for each year,” the town attorney said.

Ciappetta said that the burden of proof to demonstrate that the Town of Huntington tax assessor’s assessed value of the plant was incorrect lies with the utility company. LIPA will need to provide documents and expert testimony that convinces the judge that Huntington was in error, according to the town attorney.

“It doesn’t differ all that much from when you grieve your property taxes, but this is on a much bigger scale,” Ciappetta said.

LIPA started the trial with its opening statement and by calling on two expert witnesses for testimony Feb. 25. The Huntington town attorney said he expected the utility company to call on two additional expert witnesses to the stand to testify on its behalf before the town responds.

“We feel good about our position and that LIPA will not be able to sustain their burden,” Ciappetta said. “They have an appraisal that makes the plant seem as if it is worthless. That plant is vital to Long Island’s power grid.”

The Huntington town attorney said the town’s legal arguments will highlight how the Northport Power Station is unique given its “ideal location” and several factors, including its ability to operate based on either gas or oil, and is believed to be fundamental to meeting electrical demands during severe weather events.

The trial is open to the public and any who wish to observe the proceedings or listen to the arguments are welcome to the Riverhead court room, located at 1 Court St. LIPA did not respond to request for comment on the ongoing court proceedings.

Ciappetta previously stated although the Town of Brookhaven settled its case with LIPA earlier this year, he does not believe that agreement will have any impact on Huntington’s case.

While six months of mediation between the town, LIPA and National Grid under their hired third-party arbitrator attorney Marty Scheinman has not yet resulted in a settlement, it remains a probable outcome according to Ciappetta.

“There’s always the possibility it will settle,” he said.

The court trial proceedings, if not wrapped up this week, will continue in April.

County

Suffolk asks the question: what to do about marijuana legalization?

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

When it comes to legalizing recreational marijuana, the debate continues in Suffolk County.

More than 100 people filled the Suffolk County Legislature chambers Feb. 25 for a public hearing on the legalization of recreational marijuana and its potential impact. The over two-hour meeting fueled a contentious debate between attendees, with supporters pointing to the tax revenue the county could gain from possible legalization and the health benefits attributed to marijuana. Opponents argued that it is a quality of life issue and their view of the plant as a gateway drug, supporting the idea of the county opting out.

Legislators in the health committee held the hearing to gather input from the community as New York State inches closer to legalization.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) expressed his support for legal recreational cannabis in his inaugural address in early January.

John Durso, president of Local 338, a union that represents close to 300 workers in the NYS medical cannabis industry, said he supports legalization and views it as a potential source of economic development in the county — if done right.

“As we got to know more patients, caregivers and medical professionals, we learned even more about the benefits of medical cannabis,” Durso said. “In easing symptoms for those who are ill or those who suffer from chronic pain, [it gives them] the ability to live more fulfilled lives.”

Durso added the legalization of cannabis is an opportunity to expand beyond the five percent of the New York population who are currently enrolled in the state program and allow more to benefit from its effects.

Kim Laube, executive director of nonprofit social services organization Human Understanding and Growth Services, said instead of focusing on just one drug we as a county need to address all drug use for the sake of children.

“When it comes to the young developing brain there are no such things as safe drugs,”

A crowd packed the auditorium of the William H. Rogers building to speak on legalized marijuana Photo by David Luces

Laube said. “Schools across Long Island are fighting this — I just don’t think we are ready today to allow this to come [into the county].”

At first, her stance was a strong no for recreational marijuana, but now with legalization potentially on the horizon she hopes it can be delayed as long as possible.

“Let’s think of how we can build our drug prevention infrastructure,” she said. “Let’s ensure before we roll this out that every youth has access to prevention as much as they have access to drugs.”

Troy Smith, deputy director of the Empire State NORML, an advocacy group for the regulation and safe sale of marijuana, said he is not advocating for legalization, rather regulation to an existing industry and safe access to the plant.

“I would like to urge you all to just say ‘no’ — don’t opt out,” he said.

Smith said many law-abiding citizens partake in the consumption of marijuana, and legalization would lead to the existing business being regulated better so customers are protected. He also added by opting out the county would forfeit tax revenue and benefit Discover the world’s best walk-in bathtub from

drug dealers and criminals.

David Falkowski, owner of Open Minded Organics in Bridgehampton, which grows industrial hemp and sells CBD oil, echoed Smith’s sentiments of not opting out.

“If by chance the county feels like it needs to opt out, I just ask them that this decision is not left up to a small board of temporarily appointed representatives and that it goes to a referendum vote,” he said. His sentiments was followed by loud applause from prolegalization supporters.

Some residents expressed concerns about quality of life and potential second-hand smoke hazards. If the county chose not to opt out, one resident asked representatives to outlaw and prohibit smoking in

For Kimberly Miller of Deer Park, marijuana isn’t all about getting high — it is more personal.

As a recovering alcoholic and sexual assault survivor who suffers from depression, anxiety and PTSD, Miller said, for her and others like her, microdosing marijuana fills the gap traditional medicine doesn’t provide.

“Today I’m here asking you to fill one last gap for me,” she said. “Legalize and regulate marijuana, like you do with alcohol and tobacco. Let me buy it from a reputable business and let me pay taxes on it. Build some commerce. It’s a win-win for both of us.”

Fire

East Northport firefighters battle cemetery blaze East Northport volunteer firefighters responded to fire at a cemetery this past Saturday.

The East Northport Fire Department received numerous calls Feb. 23 reporting flames coming out of a maintenance building on the grounds of Genola Rural Cemetery off Laurel Road at approximately 1:30 p.m., according to fire department spokesman Steve Silverman.

Volunteer firefighters arriving on the scene found a one-story building

fully engulfed in flames and began to aggressively attack the blaze. It took approximately 60 firefighters using eight trucks under the direction of Assistant Chiefs Tom Bourne and Steve Macedonio to bring the fire under control within 40 minutes.

Both the Northport and Greenlawn fire departments assisted by providing additional apparatus and volunteer firefighters. Cyanide Response Team paramedics from the Dix Hills Fire Department responded to the scene in

case of injuries from smoke inhalation.

The Commack Fire Department and volunteer ambulance corps provided standby coverage during the alarm.

The fire appears to be accidental in origin, according to Silverman. It is under investigation by the Town of Huntington fire marshal. There were no injuries reported, but the cemetery’s maintenance building was extensively damaged.

Northport High School

Elwood-John H. Glenn High School

Wrestling their way to the top

Leagues ahead of the competition Huntington Councilwoman Joan Cergol (D), honored Northport High School junior Chloe Stepanek for her accomplishments in becoming a national champion competitive swimmer at the Feb. 13 board meeting.

Stephanek, who is a member of the Northport-Commack girls swim team, recently successfully defended her state titles in the 200-yard and 100-yard freestyle events and was named the outstanding athlete of the swimming and diving championships.

She followed that up the next month competing in the U.S. Winter National

Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina, where she recorded the fastest time of any swimmer 18 years old or younger in the 200-meter freestyle and was crowned the 18-andunder national champion.

“These are wonderful accomplishments,” Cergol said, as she handed the swimmer a proclamation signed by her and her board colleagues, “but we are looking forward to even more from you. We hope we will be able to see you in the pool at an Olympics, if not next year in Tokyo, then in Paris in 2024.”

The Elwood-John H. Glenn High School wrestling team competed in the Section XI – Division 2 Wrestling Championships during the weekend of Feb. 9. Student-athletes Thomas Giaramita at 145 lbs, Justin Vega

at 182 lbs and Patrick Ancewicz at 285 lbs each earned the Suffolk County Championship title for their respective weight classes.

Additionally, John Glenn had a total of nine wrestlers earn All-

County awards.

Pictured above, from left: are Ancewicz, Vega and Giaramita holding their respective wrestling brackets.

Elwood-John H. Glenn High School senior Alyssa Adomaites, a point guard for the varsity basketball team, recently broke the school’s record of 1,479 points set in 2009, with a whopping 1,587 points. She is additionally the second leading scorer on Long Island. Adomaites is passionate about basketball and has been playing since early elementary school and will be attending Adelphi University in the fall.

“Alyssa is an outstanding student athlete that works hard both on the court and in the classroom and is a shining example of school pride and athleticism,” David Shanahan, director of Athletics and Physical Education, said. “The district is

Awe-some athletes

extremely proud of her for all her hard work and dedication to the game.”

The Elwood Union Free School District’s board of education and administration honored six of the district’s top athletes for their outstanding individual achievements at their Feb. 7 meeting. Athletic Director David Shanahan introduced each of the student-athletes from Elwood-John H. Glenn High School and spoke briefly about each of their accomplishments.

“These athletes represent sportsmanship, the highest character, teamwork and discipline, and are the best of the best at Glenn,” Shanahan said.

Those student-athletes honored include: • Alyssa Adomaites who broke the school’s all-time record for scoring with 1,587 points to date • Mia Cergol, named an All-State

volleyball player • Caroline Garretson, named AllState volleyball player • Adam Astarita, named All-State soccer player • Josh Fenner, who scored 1,000 points as a junior on the varsity basketball team • Kyle Szokoli, named All-State football player Photo from Elwood school district

Opinion

Editorial

School districts, tighten your belts This year, more than ever, Long Islanders are about to find themselves in a jam when it comes to taxes.

It’s been a little more than a month since employees received their 2018 W-2 forms. While that extra $20 or maybe $60 in each paycheck felt great to pocket in January 2018 due to passage of President Donald Trump’s (R) Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, it probably doesn’t feel quite so good now.

Thousands of middle-class residents are facing a sobering reality upon calculating their 2018 tax returns. Many are finding out their anticipated tax refund has turned into an IOU to Uncle Sam. It’s in part thanks to the elimination of several federal deductions of moving expenses, home equity loan interest or, particularly, the $10,000 cap on state and local taxes deduction.

It’s the SALT cap that is playing a major factor in reducing or elimination people’s anticipated federal tax return. The average property taxes for Suffolk homeowners is $9,333, according to a 2017 analysis by ATTOM Data Solutions. It’s even higher for many property owners along the North Shore in Setauket, Huntington and Smithtown. Now, there’s nothing to help offset Suffolk’s high taxes.

For the average Suffolk homeowner, 60 percent of their annual tax bill is due to educational costs, according to the 2017 study. Or, more than half can be attributed to your local school district’s tax levy and annual budget.

As many North Shore residents come to the realization their property taxes alone exceed the SALT deduction limit of $10,000, school districts are starting to unveil their first drafts of the 2019-20 budgets. While most districts, if not all, anticipate a proposed budget that stays within the state-mandated 2 percent tax cap, any increase in taxes no matter how marginal will continue to put an increased burden on residents.

It is an undeniable truth that providing our children with a good, solid education in a safe setting is of the utmost importance. We must beg the question — is there some way to do it in a more cost-effective manner? We’re not asking school administrators to cut corners but think creatively when drafting their 2019-20 budgets.

Whether the state-mandated tax levy cap is 1.83 or 2.58 percent, we’re asking you to think of cost-saving measures — for example, collaboratively purchasing goods and services cheaper in bulk — to help keep the school taxes increases far below that cap. If we were to think of the state-mandated tax cap as a ceiling, we want to ensure there’s adequate space or gap between the budget’s ceiling and the annual increases.

Everyone has to pull together to keep living on Suffolk’s North Shore affordable, one part of which is keeping taxes as low as possible. As school district taxes make up the largest portion of our taxes, we have to ask districts to please tighten your belts a little more and keep those tax levies low.

Letters to the editor

Cuomo’s gun laws will ensure student safety As we begin 2019 and reflect on the past year, we must not forget that there were more than 300 devastating mass shootings and, as a result, 1,875 deaths in the United States. The incidents have occurred in places once considered safe, such as concert halls, night clubs, schools, houses of worship and even supermarkets.

As a junior in high school, the fear of a shooting in my school always remains in the back of my mind, as well as in the minds of many other students.

On Jan. 15, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) released his plan for the first 100 days of 2019 that included a push for common sense gun laws. To increase safety, just yesterday [Feb. 25], the governor signed the Red Flag Law, which allows family members, police and civilians to report and petition for the removal of a gun license and guns from an individual seen as a threat to society. Additionally, he is looking to pass laws that prohibit teachers from carrying guns, as well as extending the wait time to purchase a gun if a person fails the background checks.

Supporting and passing common sense gun laws is imperative to ensuring the safety of everyone living in Suffolk County and New York State. The Red Flag Law allows a state order to be enacted that will temporarily ban guns from the person

of interest’s possession until a judge determines whether or not they are a threat.

The guns will be returned to the person after a trial, unless they are proven to be a danger, in which case they are confiscated.

The Red Flag Law has shown to be an effective way to raise awareness and take preventative actions against gun violence in California, Florida and Connecticut. By providing an outlet to anonymously report individuals of the concern, shootings can be prevented. In the Parkland and the Tree of Life shootings, the shooters were known to be violent through social media posts and public speculation. Had the Red Flag Law been in place, these shootings may have been prevented. Though this law may be seen as an invasion of privacy, reports will only be acted upon after proof of danger.

Cuomo has also passed other effective common sense gun laws in addition to the Red Flag Law. New York State government passed a law prohibiting teachers from carrying guns in the classroom. The rationale behind that is reducing the amount of guns in schools and in society, thus preventing accidents and domestic violence. The law does not prohibit trained security guards from holding guns. Teachers have voiced their opinions that they do not feel comfortable

carrying guns and would like to remain doing their sole job, teaching. Another law in the governor’s 2019 gun law initiative includes expanded wait time for a person who has failed a background check, but would still like to purchase a gun. By doing this, law enforcement is allocated more time to research and make sure that the person has met all the requirements needed in order to purchase a gun. This will prevent guns from falling into the hands of domestic abusers and untrained individuals. Cuomo’s common sense gun law agenda will improve the safety of all New Yorkers.

It is my wish that these methods of gun laws be strongly considered and supported by the citizens of New York State and Suffolk County. The common denominator of all shootings is guns, and there needs to be legal action taken to ensure the safety of children and adults of all nationalities, genders, origins and beliefs. Students are demanding action be taken to ensure the safety of all. I hope that awareness will be spread among this issue and that the public will be educated on these options of gun safety laws.

Alexis Schoor Kings Park High School Intern Legislator William “Doc” Spencer

Read legislation before casting a vote Today’s generation in U.S. Congress along with members of the New York State Senate and Assembly could learn much from the late Idaho Republican Sen. James McClure who passed away eight years ago on Feb. 26, 2011. His claim to fame on Capitol Hill was for 18 years, he read every word of every bill before voting on it. For many years, he signed his own mail.

Fast forward to today, did members of Congress take an Evelyn Wood speedreading class to absorb the hundreds of pages contained in a previous temporary stopgap spending bill along with other so-called “emergency legislation” passed in the dead of night? Members received these items with only hours before being asked to vote up or down. Only lobbyists

along with key congressional staff members employed by the House and Senate leadership teams, who actually wrote the fine print within the many hundreds of pages on behalf of their bosses, had any idea of the details buried in the actual contents.

There should be a seven-dayminimum time-out period. This would provide adequate time for members of any legislative body but also ordinary citizens, the media and independent good government watchdog groups the opportunity to understand all of the contents contained in any proposed bill. Everyone would also have the opportunity under an open process to comment and discuss the merits or

consequences before others vote up or down for adoption.

Ditto for reading the thousands of daily automated robo letters sent to constituents, who have taken their own personal time to write. Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, we would all be better off if members of Congress, the state Legislature and New York City Council members would take time to actually read, line by line and openly debate in public any proposed legislation before voting. Their legislative actions impact both our economic and civil liberties. Future generations have to pay for and live with the consequences.

To wave or not to wave, that is the question

W

ait, was that at me? How am I supposed to know? She’s still waving. I could wave back, but what if she’s waving to someone else. Should I put my stupid hand in the stupid air and risk the possibility of looking stupid?

Yes, this happened to me many times during my adolescence. How was I supposed to react when someone I kind of knew, D. None or maybe wanted of the above to know, was waving in my direcBY DANIEL DUNAIEF tion? Sometimes, I pretended I didn’t see the person waving, while

I casually looked around to see if anyone near me was responding. I probably looked like I had a neck twitch, as I scanned the area to see if it was safe to wave.

These days, the waving conundrum has taken a different form, especially after we moved away from the tristate area. It appears that the Northeast and Southeast have different rules for waving. In the Northeast, we wave when someone we know well walks by us in the car. If they don’t see us, perhaps we offer a quick and polite tap on our horn, just to let them know we saw them and we’ll likely text or email them later.

If someone we’re pretty sure we don’t know waves, we immediately assume that someone else is the recipient of their gesture — they have a small dog on the loose and we better slow down, or their children are playing a Nerf gun game and might dart into the street. If they continue to wave, we squint for

a while, trying to figure out if maybe they’ve lost weight. It could be they’re someone we might have met casually at one of our kids sporting events, or they want us to sign a petition, or even buy a product we’re sure we don’t need because we can’t stand all the crap we already have in our own house.

Of course, if we have our defensive curled upper-lip action going too quickly, we might scare away our son’s teacher, our daughter’s assistant coach or a new neighbor who has introduced herself to us four times.

In the Southeast, however, the rules are different. Most of the people in the passing cars wave when I walk the dog. Yes, we have a dog and, no, you can’t pet him even though he’s pulling as hard as he can to get to you because I have to bring him back inside so I can do some writing. I’ve stopped trying to figure out the source of the amicable gesture and I wave back. My son, who sometimes accompanies

me on these dog walks, wondered, “Hey, do you know that person?” He is still playing by the rules of the Northeast.

I explained that I wave at every car, even the likely empty parked vehicles in case someone is sitting in them, because that’s what you do here. I told him I’ve conducted my own experiment, where I don’t wave and I see what happens. More often than not, the person slows down and waves even more vigorously, as if to say, “Hey, I’m waving here.

Now it’s your turn.”

Kids in the modern era seem to have solved the waving problem. They do a quick head nod, which could be a response to a similar gesture from someone else or it could be a way of reacting to music no one else hears. Then again, they’ve probably figured out how to make a thinner, acne-free virtual version of themselves wave at cartoon versions of their friends.

President Johnson: a Civil Rights hero

B

efore February’s Black History Month moves away for another year, I would like to share with you the exciting story I read in Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book, “Leadership: In Turbulent Times,” with lessons from four presidents as leaders: Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson. Now you might be thinking that’s not the sexiest subject to be writing or reading about, but in her storytelling hands, it is a page turner.

We all know too well that Johnson, the Democratic vice Between president, became president when you and me John F. Kennedy

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963. At that time, Kennedy’s progressive legislation was totally bogged down in Congress, going nowhere.

What might not be so well known is that LBJ, as he was fondly known, was a “master mechanic” of the legislative process for he had come of age in politics in Congress. “It was his fierce resolve not

simply to dislodge Kennedy’s stalled agenda but to realize a society built on racial and economic justice far beyond the [FDR’s] New Deal and [Kennedy’s] New Frontier,” Goodwin wrote.

Taking advantage of the short burst of sympathy and support that he expected to realize from the nation, Johnson, a Texan, wanted to get the contentious civil rights bill, designed to end segregation in the South, enacted. “We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights.

We have talked for 100 years or more. It is time now to write the next chapter, and to write it in the books of law,” he told Congress in his address to the nation on Nov. 27, 1963.

But first he needed some congressional momentum to oil the rails and cleverly called for Kennedy’s tax cut to pass. Less divisive than the issue of civil rights, the bill had passed in the House after 13 months but was opposed by Virginia Sen. Harry Byrd, a conservative Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Conservatives then adamantly believed in a balanced budget. The idea of tax cuts came from liberals.

Johnson was able to work out a deal with Byrd.

If he could get the proposed budget down below $100 billion in 1965, Byrd would bring the bill to the floor for a vote. With great effort, Johnson did, the bill was voted on and the Revenue Act of 1964 was passed into law on Feb. 26, barely three short

months after the assassination.

Now came the bigger challenge: civil rights.

Once the tax cut bill passed, promising more revenue from increased business that could be spent on social services, Lyndon Johnson focused his attention and his legislative expertise on securing the mandate of law for civil rights.

To say the least, Southern Congressional Republicans, many of them Johnson’s friends, adamantly opposed his effort. He liked to tell them his personal story about his longtime black employees, his housemaid and butler, Helen and Gene Williams, and his cook, Zephyr Wright.

Each year Johnson asked them to drive his extra car from Washington, D.C., back to Texas, a threeday journey. One year Johnson asked Gene to take along his affectionate beagle as well. It was then that Johnson learned how difficult such a trip was for those of color: almost no places on the road to stop and eat, almost no bathrooms in which they were allowed, few places to sleep. “A colored man’s got enough trouble getting across the South on his own, without having a dog along,” Gene explained. Now, all these years later, the winner of the best picture at Sunday’s Academy Awards, “Green Book,” tells us the same story about traveling through the South in the 1960s with its unjust system of segregation.

Johnson knew his passionate advocacy for this bill would separate him from the South and from

his Southern friends and colleagues.

Johnson confronted those in Congress with how wrong segregation was and tirelessly worked the legislative system for passage of his bill. He challenged Virginia’s defiant Judge Howard Smith, a Democratic congressman and chair of the House Rules Committee by resorting to the discharge petition, a rarely used procedure, to blast the bill out of committee with the help of a majority of representatives. He rallied those outside the House to pressure their elected representatives to free the bill. The strategy worked, as leaders all over the country organized to do just that.

Once out of committee, the House passed the strongest civil rights bill since Reconstruction.

Next came the Senate. Johnson took on Richard Russell (D-Georgia), Senate leader of the Southern opposition, in a pitched battle that proved history is the result of individuals in the right place at the right time. Only a son of the South could have persevered at that juncture. Johnson managed, with the help of Republicans, and especially Senate minority leader, Everett Dirksen (R-Illinois), to break the Southern-led Senate filibuster. The bill then passed in the Senate.

On July 2, Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. He ended by saying, “To the extent Negroes were free, really free, so was I. And so was my country.”

Tigers lose in heartbreaker in Class AA title game

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Northport varsity girls team tied the game at 43-43 with 28 seconds left in regulation, in a dead heat with Longwood for the Suffolk Class AA title game Feb. 22. Longwood was next to score, edging ahead by two points when Northport called a timeout with 8 seconds left on the clock.

On the ensuing inbound play the Tigers miscued, turning the ball over, and with that Longwood ran out the clock to claim a 45-43 victory and with it the Class AA crown.

Northport junior Danielle Pavinelli led the final game of the season with 10 points. Seniors Hannah Stockman and Shea Cronin netted nine points

apiece and Kelly McLaughlin a junior banked eight.

The Tigers finished this season as League II champions with a 21-3 overall record. With a roster that graduates only four seniors, Northport’s future looks bright with five returning freshman, three sophomores and nine juniors.
