H’ton board agrees to explore Town Hall, Hecksher Park as “green zones”

photo by Victoria Espinoza

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com After months of requests from residents that Huntington go greener, the town board took steps at the its last meeting to make Hecksher Park and Town Hall “green zones.” At the May 9 meeting the board voted unanimously to approve a resolution establishing a research program to look into replacing gas fueled landscaping equipment with battery operated units at Heckscher Park and Town Hall to reduce emissions and noise. A green zone is an area maintained with zero-emission lawn care equipment. The resolution was co-sponsored by Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) and Councilwoman Susan Berland (D). The plan includes retaining the American Green Zone Alliance to conduct a study that will analyze the town’s existing landscaping practices, recommend the appropriate costeffective, battery powered equipment and instruct town personnel on the use, care and maintenance of the devices. Berland has been working for months to pass a resolution to limit gas powered leaf blowers due to the health and environmental concerns associated with them. “This resolution is a great first step to protecting our environment and reducing air and noise pollution in our Town,” Berland said in a statement. “Many constituents have contacted me to restrict the use of gas powered leaf blowers to address their quality-of-life concerns.” She encouraged residents to visit the town’s website to watch a public service video she created last year meant to inform

community members about the drawbacks of leaf blowers and presents possible alternatives. The website also features a survey to gauge the public’s reliance or disapproval of using leaf blowers. “I look forward to working together with Huntington CALM and the American Green Zone Alliance to create a ‘green zone’ at Heckscher Park and Town Hall,” she said. “Huntington has always been a beautiful place to live, work and raise a family. Let’s keep it that way.” Groups like Huntington Citizens Appeal for Leafblower Moderation, and the American Green Zone Alliance have been vocal about the health issues, like asthma and hearing damage, that have been tied to use of gas powered blowers, according to the World Health Organization. At the meeting, several residents applauded the efforts of the board to improve the situation. Bonnie Sager, cofounder of Huntington CALM spoke at the meeting. “The 2,000 plus Huntington CALM supporters and I would like to thank you for bringing forth this resolution,” she said at the meeting. “It is in perfect alignment with our town’s clean energy community policy. Huntington is showing once again its commitment to sustainable initiatives.” Sager listed the many ways switching to electric equipment would save taxpayers money, as well as eliminate airborne pollutants. “Hecksher Park is a crown jewel of Huntington serving our residents and guests with the museum, the duck pond, the concert venue and more,” she said. “By becom

St. Anthony’s rocket club blasts to success in national competition By Victoria Espinoza Victoria@tBrnEwspapErs.com It’s blast off for the St. Anthony’s rocket lub, as the students recently competed in the world’s largest student rocketry contest and came out victorious. The Team America Rocketry Challenge was held just outside of Washington D.C.

this past weekend, with 100 teams from across the country battling for $100,000 and a chance to represent the country at the Paris Air Show in June against teams from the United Kingdom, France and Japan. Teams were tasked with designing and building a rocket to safely carry a raw egg payload to a specific altitude and back within a certain amount of time. According to the Team America Rocketry Challenge, rules and scoring parameters change every cycle to challenge the students’ ingenuity and encourage a fresh approach to rocket design. The Huntington-based team placed 10th this year, and was awarded $5,000, but the students involved said the experience was priceless. Elias Smith, a senior and co-president of the club, said the competition was the most interesting thing he’s ever participated in. “This was such a different experience from anything else I’ve ever been a part of,” Smith said in a phone interview. “I’m someone who read NASA space books as a kid, and I was just able to present my rocket to people I look up to, it was just so amazing I can’t believe it.” Smith said his favorite part was being able to talk about his team’s rocket and the process they went through to create it, as

Peter King (R-Seaford) and showing him what upcoming heroes and inventors he has in his own state. “We’re a force to be reckoned with,” Smith said. “I’m so proud we all got here together and were able to accomplish this.” Mark Capodanno, the team’s coach, said he was proud of his students for get-

ting this far in a difficult competition. “This started with more than 800 teams, and to make it to the finals to the top 100 is already incredible,” Capodanno said. “And then to have one of the lowest scores in the country is just such a major accomplishment.”

The votes are in for school budgets and board candidates by victoria espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com

Harborfields $84.2 million þ

Harborfields With two seats and four candidates at the Harborfields district this year, half of the candidates came out victorious. Incumbent and Vice President David Steinberg easily maintained his seat on the board with 800 votes cast in his name. “It’s a pleasure and honor to be able to serve again,” Steinberg said after the results were announced Tuesday night. “It’s such a great community, we’ve done such great work over the last three years and I look forward to continuing that work over the next three.” As for newcomer Chris Kelly, it seems the third time was the charm, as the resident has tried the past three years to win a seat. He came in second with a close 741 votes. “I’m honored and humbled and I can’t wait to get to work,” Kelly said after his victory. Residents Lauri Levenberg and Anila Nitekman were unable to win a seat for themselves, with 623 votes and 476 votes respectively.

The 2017-18 budget is about $1.6 million more than last year’s total, with a tax levy increase of 1.68 percent. It passed with 1,224 yes votes to 249 no votes. On the district’s website Superintendent Ianni thanked all the residents who voted to approve the budget. “Thank you for all the support that you have given throughout this budget process,” the message said. “This would not be possible without your help.” A household with a $2,000 assessed value will see a tax increase of $85.22.

For Northport residents the message was clear: they’re not interested in change. Incumbent Donna McNaughton was able to beat out challenger Thomas Loughran for another term on the board. McNaughton came away with 1,750 votes and Loughran with 769 votes. “I’m very humbled by the support from the community,” McNaughton said after it was announced she won. She added she was excited to continue to work for the district. McNaughton was the only one of three incumbents who ran for re-election this year, as a petition last year passed to reduce the size of the board from nine members to seven.

Huntington In the Huntington school district things

went according to plan, as the two incumbents running unopposed won another term. Vice president Jennifer Hebert and Trustee Xavier Palacios will both continue to serve their community, winning 1,037 votes and 978 votes respectively. Hebert said in her candidate statement she believes in listening to all sides of every issue. She is particularly passionate about public school education and believes the learning experience offered to Huntington students should be the finest in the nation. Palacios said in his candidate statement he has strived to be a problem-solver and to use his legal expertise to contribute to solutions regarding pressing issues facing students, teachers and taxpayers. photo from Huntington school website

The budget adds grounds staff for long-term maintenance, expands science research, special education programs, as well as enhances the curriculum plan and initiatives, including the Harborfields 2.0 Technology Initiative, which is described as a plan to strategically align resources for longer-term sustainability. Someone who makes $75,000 or less is eligible for a tax rebate of $314.85, and the rebate is reduced by $84 in each of three higher salary brackets.

The 2017-18 budget is about $1.6 million more than last year’s total. It passed with 2,074 yes votes and 636 no votes. The estimated increase for a $3,800 assessed value household is $122. The budget includes infrastructure and athletic upgrades districtwide and expands a co-teaching model, which helps improve teacher evaluations, to elementary and secondary schools. Proposition 2, which involved capital reserve expenditures, also

passed with 2,197 yes votes to 512 no votes. This proposition will allow the district to use capital reserves to fund additional projects including resurfacing/replacing two tennis courts and replacing the fence at William J. Brosnan School, installing new operable gymnasium windows at East Northport Middle School, replacing circuit panels at Northport High School, replacing auditorium seating at William J. Brosnan School and replacing classroom ceilings at Dickinson Avenue Elementary School.

Donna Mcnaughton will continue to serve northport-east northport.

The 2017-18 budget has a tax levy increase of 1.35 percent. It passed with 1,022 yes votes to 148 no votes. The budget continues all academic programs, funds the Blue Devil marching band, elementary and secondary grade level bands, orchestras and ensembles and district drama clubs, provides funds to implement strategic improvements to the academic and co-curricular offerings. Current class size guidelines will also be maintained. A home assessed at the district average of $3,600 would see an increase of $111.24. A second capital reserve proposition to authorize the creation of a

new building improvement fund also passed by a vote of 998 yes votes to 176 no votes. Superintendent Jim Polansky thanked residents for coming out. “On behalf of the board of education and administration, please accept my sincerest thanks for supporting the...2017-18 budget and capital propositions,” Polansky said in a letter to the community following the vote. “Your support will allow us to continue addressing the needs of our students in a financially responsible manner and despite any federally and state driven educational and fiscal challenges.”

Cold Spring Harbor $66.6 million þ The 2017-18 budget has a tax levy increase of 2.42 percent and is a 2.52 percent increase from last year’s budget. It passed with 420 yes votes to 166 no votes. The budget continues the 1:1 Chromebook Initiative project and will now include seventh-graders, emphasizes student preparation for

national science competitions for secondary students and provides additional technology and research opportunities for primary students. Proposition 2 also passed with 411 yes votes and 167 no votes. It authorizes the district to perform school building improvements district wide, not to exceed $2 million.

Zeldin votes ‘yes’ on health care bill, Suozzi votes ‘no’

The second attempt passes House, will head to Senate for further scrutiny By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com The battle to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare, was left in the hands of the House of Representatives for a vote this month, and two representatives for the North Shore had differing opinions on the bill. The American Health Care Act passed in the House by a slim 217 to 213 margin, though before it becomes law it must also pass the Senate and ultimately be signed by President Donald Trump (R). U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) for New York’s 1st Congressional District was among those in favor of the bill, fulfilling a campaign promise of his own and the vast majority of Republican lawmakers across the country since Obamacare was enacted in 2010. “Almost everyone agrees that our current system is deeply flawed,” Zeldin said in a statement. “The American Health Care Act provides relief from billions of dollars of crushing taxes and mandates enacted under the ACA. Additionally, the bill repeals the individual and employer mandates, taxes on prescription and overthe-counter medications, health insurance premiums and medical devices.” Zeldin also sought to dispel “outright lies” being perpetrated on social media and elsewhere about the new bill, the first incarnation of which he was slow to support unless important amendments were added, he said in March. One thing he specified as a misconception is the idea that people with pre-existing conditions might lose coverage, or that millions will be left uninsured. “The bill protects people with pre-ex-

isting conditions, and gives states greater flexibility to lower premiums and stabilize the insurance market,” he said. Critics of the bill have noted it was not subject to scrutiny by the Congressional Budget Office prior to the vote, and in the first version that nearly reached a vote in March, the CBO suggested about 24 million people were in danger of losing their coverage. An amendment to the bill the second time around introduced by U.S. Rep. Fred Upton (R-Michigan), would establish funds for a “high risk” pool, which would be used to provide coverage for people with preexisting conditions. “The high-risk pool plan is an attempt to cover up for another provision in the bill, via an amendment by New Jersey Rep. Tom MacArthur (R), that would allow states to easily waive protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions in the individual market if they experienced a gap in coverage,” according to the Center for American Progress, a nonpartisan policy institute. U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), of New York’s 3rd Congressional District, was among those critics. He voted against the bill. “I’m disappointed that House Republicans chose not to work with Democrats to create a common-sense bill,” Suozzi said in a statement. He also called on the Senate to disregard the legislation and focus on working toward a bipartisan solution. “It will result in skyrocketing premiums, higher out-of-pocket costs, a discriminatory age tax and will steal from Medicare,” he said. “And all of this was done without an updated Congressional Budget Office score to determine how much the new amendment to the bill will cost taxpayers.” Suozzi also addressed what it might mean for New Yorkers. “For New Yorkers, this legislation leaves 2.7 million people without proper access to health insurance,” he said. “$4.7 billion will be cut from our state’s Medicaid budget, putting seven million people who rely on Medicaid services and other important programs at risk. This is a bad bill for New Yorkers, plain and simple.” The bill establishes limits on federal funding for state Medicaid programs beginning in 2020. States that exceed the cap would be subjected to reduced federal funding in the following fiscal year, according to the summary of the bill. The most notable changes in the new health care plan compared to the existing one include an elimination of the individual mandate, which required all Americans to purchase health insurance or be subject to a fine — a sticking point for many Republicans on Obamacare; a cut of federal Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood for one year; adjusting tax credits based on age instead of income; and shifting Medicaid expansion set forth by Obamacare to the discretion of states instead of the federal government, among many others.

tom suozzi, above left, and lee Zeldin, above right voted along party lines regarding the second iteration of the American Health Care Act, legislation largely tied to President Donald trump, below. According to a map on the website of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization established to deliver health policy analysis to the public, issuing tax credits based on age instead of income will result in some lower income Americans paying more for coverage. “Generally, people who are older, lower income or live in highpremium areas receive less financial assistance under the AHCA,” analysis of the bill by the foundation said. “Additionally, older people would have higher starting premiums under the AHCA and would therefore pay higher premiums. Because younger people with higher incomes and living in lower-cost areas would receive more financial assistance and would have lower starting premiums on average, they would pay lower premiums on average.” Kevin Dahill, president and CEO of Suburban Hospital Alliance of New York State, an organization that represents the advocacy interests of Long Island health systems including St. Catherine of Siena in Smithtown, and John T. Mather Memorial and St. Charles hospitals in Port Jefferson, issued a statement regarding the House bill.

“The revised version of the AHCA passed by the House is not sound health reform,” he said. “About 70 percent of Medicaid spending in our state covers care for the elderly and disabled, including children. These people will still need care. And even more disheartening is the amendment to cut $2.3 billion in Medicaid funding by shifting the cost burden from the counties to the state. This amendment was advanced by [Republican] New York Congressmen [John] Faso and [Chris] Collins and it leaves a huge hole in New York’s budget. … Access to insurance is meaningless if premiums are unaffordable and the coverage is not comprehensive.” Gerard Brogan — Kevin Dahill Jr.,Dr. executive director at Huntington Hospital, said he would put the ACA and AHCA in the same category as flawed legislation during a phone interview. He also reiterated Dahill’s concerns that the changes put a large number of people at risk of losing their access to adequate care because of changes to Medicaid. “There are portions that are either not derived from sound assumptions or won’t accomplish what are the issue that we need to deal with,” he said.

‘The revised version of the AHCA passed by the House is not sound health reform. ... Access to insurance is meaningless if premiums are unaffordable and the coverage is not comprehensive.’

From day one, I recollect him saying to me, ‘there’s only two things I want to do — I want to fix the economy and I want to get rid of this terrorism.’ He goes, ‘the rest of it, I could care less about.’”

The Trump presidency

Despite the missteps and uneasiness that have been hallmarks of Trump’s first 100 days in office, LaValle seemingly has no inclination to reverse course and distance himself from the president. “I don’t criticize the boss in public,” he said. After he endorsed Trump he went on to do about 160 television appearances as a surrogate for his candidate during 2016. The chairman said he first met Trump several years ago when the businessman was considering a run for governor of New York, though little came of that meeting. The two met for the second time during the rally in Bethpage in 2016. Since, the two have spoken regularly by phone, and LaValle said he’d sat in on meetings at Trump Tower in the past, and even weighed in on policy when called upon by the man who currently occu-

pies the highest office in the land. “He runs his meetings like a game show — it’s phenomenal,” LaValle said. He told a story of the first time Trump called him on his cellphone and asked him to come to Manhattan for a meeting. LaValle said his friends instructed him to keep quiet, prepare to listen and limit his contribution to the meeting to “hello, Mr. Trump” and “goodbye, Mr. Trump.” Instead, LaValle said Trump repeatedly pressed him and others in the room for input on policy and issues, and he felt Trump genuinely listened to others’ opinions. LaValle said he once asked Trump why he valued his opinion so much. “I trust you, and until you fail me that’s it, I’m going to rely on you,’” the chairman said Trump told him. That trust can be traced to a promise LaValle made to Trump in April 2016 after a campaign event at The Emporium in Patchogue, when he pledged to deliver Suffolk County for Trump during the Republican primary. “When he was leaving he was telling me ‘oh you know what it cost me to come here? You know what I had to give up?’ I said ‘no, I appreciate that Mr. Trump, and I’m going to tell you right now — Suffolk County will be the number one county for you in the state of New York next Tuesday,’” LaValle said. “He said ‘well I’m going to hold you to that.’ I said ‘good, and I’m going to deliver.’

lavalle Continued from page A8 And we did. And he appreciated that.” More than 72,000 Suffolk County residents chose Trump on primary day, to just 18,000 and 9,000 respectively for Kasich and Cruz. On another occasion, LaValle was forced to justify comments he made on CNN when he was asked to defend two “diametrically opposed” statements Trump had previously made. “So my phone rings and he says, ‘what’s this about me evolving?’ And this is classic Donald Trump, by the way,” LaValle said. “So I said, ‘uh, excuse me?’ He goes ‘evolving, John — what’s this about me evolving? I’m watching TV and I hear you say that I’m evolving.’” LaValle, laughing, said he thought he’d handled the situation beautifully. “‘John, John, John — I’m not evolving. I’m running for president of the United States of America. I’m not evolving,’” he said Trump told him. “I said ‘well I understand sir, but what would you like me to say?’ He says ‘what would I like you to say? You say Donald Trump is the greatest candidate ever to run for president in the history of the United States.’” LaValle said he later heard Kellyanne Conway, a key player in Trump’s campaign, use the word “evolving” on television, so he knew Trump was just blowing off steam at the time. According to LaValle, another byprod uct of the Trump presidency has been a head-on confrontation with debilitating political correctness, an aspect of Trump’s persona and platform that the chairman has found invaluable. The chairman blamed gang violence on Long Island and heroin abuse to political correctness brought about by the Democrats. “He’s made it okay to kind of tell it like it is — or at least like you see it,” LaValle said. “That was a big problem. In our country, we had gotten so bad at being politically correct that we weren’t allowed to like, even say certain things that were true.”

Attributing the rise of heroin abuse on Long Island to political correctness because of a lack of adequate border security addresses illegal drugs entering the country, but not a growing demand at home, which can be traced back to overprescribing of powerful pain medications, which then leads to heroin when prescriptions dry up. The chairman offered strong defenses for Trump on issues that few have felt inclined to rush to justify — like supposed ties between the Russian government and Trump’s campaign, transition team and administration. He said the president hasn’t deviated from anything he’s said publicly about Russia. His desire has always been to improve relations, and contacts between his team and Russia make sense in striving to achieve that goal. When asked why the knee-jerk reaction from several associates is to deny said communications, LaValle said the media is granted no prior assumption that sources will respond to questions truthfully, though he said anyone who didn’t given honest answers is “destroying their credibility.” Although LaValle insisted he didn’t criticize the boss in public, it’s not hard to take that concept and juxtapose it with the fact Trump has had issues as a result of publicly making false statements. The president said he won the most Electoral College votes (306) since President Ronald Reagan — in fact Obama won 332 four years ago and 365 in 2008, and going back to a Republican president Bush senior received more than Trump as well. He walked the line on the comments Trump was caught on tape making to Billy Bush for Access Hollywood during a candid conversation neither party knew was being recorded. “I mean I do feel bad that he got, kind of like set up, caught on tape with that whole grabbing thing,” he said. “I mean, I know so many guys that have said stupid things in their lifetime. We always just have the benefit of no one’s paying attention. And I’m not saying it’s right to do, don’t get me wrong, but that sucked for him to be caught on tape saying that.” Even though he sympathized with Trump, he said earlier he understands why Trump’s

own words could create a negative perception. “Saying Rosie O’Donnell is a fat slob, the stuff with Megyn Kelly, no, I could understand why there’s a perception that he’s a sexist, because he said things that are not appropriate,” he said. In the beginning of the interview, LaValle described Trump as a brilliant businessman who understood he could say “something stupid just for the hell of it… he knew that’s the price he had to pay to get all of that free media,” and lauded him for “telling it like it is.”

Suffolk County

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) has taken small steps to distance himself from the president of late, though unless something drastically changes, the race for his seat in the House as representative for New York’s 1st Congressional District in 2018 will serve as a referendum on the party of Trump in Suffolk County. After upsetting U.S. Rep. Tim Bishop (D-Southampton), who held the seat from 2003 to 2014, Zeldin defeated Anna Throne-Holst (D-Southampton) by 18 points to retain his seat in 2016. Zeldin’s big win was seen as an indicator of Trump’s success in the county because he was a strong supporter of Trump in 2016. Zeldin even proclaimed from the podium after the race was called on election night that he was excited to have the chance to “make America great again.” Zeldin’s proximity to Trump has caused an uprising of some 1st District constituents since the election, with protests occurring throughout the past few months and demands for more access to the congressman. Still, LaValle isn’t concerned about Zeldin’s chances for reelection in 2018. “Lee Zeldin is going to win big time in 2018,” he said. “I think the Democrat Party has shown itself to be frauds, crybabies, snowflakes and sore losers… It’s all a fraud. It’s not about — this isn’t a grassroots effort. These people are professionals. They’re being paid to be there and to organize individuals to disrupt town hall meetings of our duly elected representatives.”

Politico, an American political-journalism company has maintained there is zero evidence of protestors being paid. This rhetoric may seem familiar to some, as powerful Democratic leaders once made the same claim a few years back. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in 2009 Tea Party protestors disrupting town halls were funded by “the high end,” calling it “Astroturf,” meaning not an authentic grassroots movement, but something supported by benefactors. “These people are a disgrace,” LaValle continued about the protestors. “It’s America, I guess they can do it. But it doesn’t make them any less sleazy and sleaze balls that they are. That’s what they’re doing. To me it’s a disgrace.” In a phone interview, Zeldin said LaValle has been a strong ally during his political career. He also praised the job LaValle has done since taking over, noting a large shift in town and county seats in elected positions from blue to red during LaValle’s tenure, which he said the chairman played a role in. “John is someone who can easily motivate a packed room of volunteers to want to campaign just a little harder and dig down a little bit deeper to help get across the finish line,” he said. LaValle has been rumored to be a candidate to oppose Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) when he seeks reelection. He criticized the job Bellone has done in the position, saying the county’s finances have been “horribly mismanaged,” and said he doesn’t think Bellone is right for the job, though he didn’t offer any insight on his future aspirations. “I don’t know what the future holds, but I’ll know it when it happens,” LaValle said. “The one thing I learned is I would have never expected to have done what I did last year in a million years. It was just something that I probably never would even have fathomed. So one thing that I learned is don’t ever try to make your plans too specific. Keep it loose, keep it fluid and be ready for something exciting. I know one thing, it’s going to be something exciting and it’s going to be something big.”

For this competition, the lower the score, the more successful the rocket. The St. Anthony’s team ended with a score of 45, and the top team had a score of 13.36. Capodanno said the team started preparing for this at the beginning of the school year, test-launching rockets all the way into the last week of April. Nicholas Reda, the co-president of the club, said the final design was made out of carbon fiber, with materials from a local factory in Plainview. “The factory allowed us to create something very durable that was also easy to work with,” Reda said in a phone interview. He said he joined the St. Anthony’s club because he’s always had a fascination with aerospace and aerial engineering, and very much enjoyed the experience he had.

Recycling

Bellerose Avenue Elementary School students recently received a special visit from two Town of Huntington representatives in honor of Earth Day. The representatives hosted two assemblies at the school that focused on what can be recycled and the importance of protecting the Earth. The students learned about how long different materials decompose when they are not recycled and how throwing valuable resources away can harm the Earth. Important facts were presented and classes learned that it takes 400 to 500 years for a

plastic bottle to break down. Representative Audrey Gallo explained what happens to materials when you recycle them and brought “explains” to show the students. This included presenting a teddy bear and pillow made from plastic soda bottles. Gallo also walked the classes through the life cycle of paper and how important recycling paper is to the environment. The students were encouraged to use the recycling bins in their classrooms and at the conclusion of the assemblies, they had the opportunity to ask questions about what can or cannot be recycled.

Reading skills

The Northport-East Northport school district’s department of reading, academic intervention services and response to intervention hosted a Parent University night on May 1 at Pulaski Road Elementary School for family members of students in grades kindergarten through fifth. In an effort to strengthen the homeschool connection, the evening featured four 30-minute literacy workshops. Family members had the opportunity to attend two sessions that interested them the most. Led by reading AIS teachers throughout the district, topics included how to support your child, reading aloud and sharing your

reading life, finding the right books and an overview of intervention programs. Bellerose Avenue Elementary School Principal Lori Beekman also contributed to the conversation, by sharing her own experiences during the reading aloud and sharing your reading life sessions. She spoke to family members about the benefits of reading every day and the importance of making it a daily habit at home. “You are your child’s first teachers,” said Beekman. Those in attendance had the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and learn different strategies that they could use to keep their children engaged in reading.

Walking for a wish

Students, families and faculty members took part in the 11th annual Walk for a Wish fundraising event on April 22 to raise money for 13-year-old Alexa from Deer Park, who has a neuromuscular disorder. The district raised $14,087 to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation and grant Alexa’s wish to travel to Greece this July. Washington Drive Primary School’s Act of Kindness Committee, Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School’s Walk for a Wish Committee and both schools’ PTAs helped organize the event. Finding her love of Greek mythology at a young age, Alexa thanked the Harborfields community for their support in helping her dream of going to Athens come true. She greeted the crowd with representatives from the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Suffolk County. “Most of the time the children who are

granted these wishes are confined to a lot of doctor visits and hospital stays,” said Make-A-Wish community relations manager Kellie Ryan. “By giving them the opportunity to have a wish granted you help re-open their imaginations and give them something positive to focus on.” The rain did not keep supporters away as many community members came out to walk the track at Harborfields High School for Alexa. Members of the high school concert choir kicked off the walk with a performance of the national anthem and members of the high school jazz band led the first lap around the field while community members followed. Throughout the event, the PTA sold pedometers and wristbands, with proceeds going towards the cause, and stories were shared over the loudspeaker about how students throughout the district raised money.

Math masters

Top Oldfield Middle School students in the Harborfields Central School District in sixth through eighth grades recently competed in the 2017 Suffolk County Mathematics Contest. Sixth-grader Michael Considine and eighth-grader Jacky Xie came in first place for the school as well as the county, while seventh-grader Jacob Siegel came in first for the school. Sponsored by the Suffolk County Mathematics Teachers Association, the contest featured approximately 8,000 students in grades six through 12. The students participated in the hour-long contest involving high-level math questions. Xie tied for first place in the county in the algebra category, while in the pre-algebra category, Siegel was crowned the first-place winner for the school. At the sixth-grade level, Considine received first place in the county.

Other Oldfield Middle School winners who landed in the top five for the sixth-grade level included Athena Braverman, Kamden Johansen, Caleb Kapen, Abby McGullam, Maxmillian Stratton and Marcus Wynter. Pre-algebra students who claimed top five spots were Ryan Barker, Marina Bergin, Anthony Kelly, Audrey Mergenthaler, Alison Ryan, Jack Steel, Guantian Tao, John Thompson and Joseph Weitman. The algebra category also carried students into the top five. These students were Evan Ackerman, Rohan Dondeti, Ty Ellenbogen, Emma Hardwick and Dylan Topolovec. The first-place winners, including eighth-grader Evan Ackerman who placed second in the algebra category and Caleb Kapen who placed second out of the sixth-grade winners, will be honored at the county level at an awards ceremony on May 2 in Patchogue.

Aaron Littman won three Suffolk County titles and the 1975 Long Island championship as head coach of the Blue Devils boys lacrosse team.

Historic Huntington boys lax coach dies suddenly One of Huntington High School’s greatest coaches died suddenly last week. Aaron Littman, who taught physical education over parts of five decades and won three Suffolk County titles and the 1975 Long Island championship as head coach of the Blue Devils boys lacrosse team, was 79 years old. A member of Huntington’s class of 1955, Littman went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees at Cortland State University. He began his teaching career in the Huntington School District on Sept. 1, 1959 and worked at Lincoln, Roosevelt and Woodbury Avenue elementary schools, Robert K. Toaz and J. Taylor Finley junior high schools and Huntington High School before retiring on July 1, 1991. His commitment to Huntington and its students was evident when two years into his career, he took a leave of absence to enlist in the United States Marines Corps to prevent being drafted for an even longer period of time. Littman began his Huntington lacrosse coaching career with the 1962 Blue Devils junior varsity team. He became head coach in 1969, and in 10 seasons at the helm of the varsity squad, finished first or second in the league every year, amassing a 13352 record. Born and raised in Huntington, he lived in Northport for the last 48 years of his life. Following his coaching career, he worked as a commercial lobster fisherman, staking out ground in the Long Island Sound. He

loved life on the water and seemed to have a perpetual tan long before the advent of tanning beds and salons. Littman possessed a deep voice and boundless energy, commanding his classes and teams with confidence and ease. He didn’t like nonsense, and as a result of this, was respected and admired by his faculty and coaching staff colleagues. Some of his most memorable teams included the 1971 team that went 19-1 and won the Suffolk championship. His 1973 team recorded a 17-3 mark and again won the county crown. The 1975 Long Island championship team was somewhat of a surprise. The Blue Devils defeated Brentwood Ross, 10-5, and Half Hollow Hills, 7-6, in the county tournament before upsetting defending Long Island champion Ward Melville in the Section XI finals, 10-9. Huntington went on to topple highly-regarded Manhasset in the Long Island finals at Hofstra University, 9-4. That 1975 season was magical. Huntington struggled to put together a 10-6 record during the regular season, but it all came together for the Blue Devils in the playoffs. In the county finals against highly favored Ward Melville, Kurt Sohn repeatedly won the faceoff and attackman Rich McGuire scored seven goals. McGuire outmaneuvered the defense play after play, getting behind it and taking passes from Sohn, Ken Calligar and Dan Millner in the crease and converting them into what looked like easy

LAX COACH continued from page A12 goals. McGuire’s performance earned him the Eric Schmidt Memorial Award as the game’s outstanding player. Littman’s game plan against Ward Melville was another milestone win. “We took all our plays and threw them out,” he said after the game. “We found out that the opposition knew our plays better than we did.” What won Huntington the game was what came to be known as the “spontaneous” play. Sohn would win the faceoff and then the Blue Devils would pass the ball around until McGuire would break free directly in front of the net, get a pass and fire it into the goal. “We’re a spontaneous team,” Millner said. “We don’t practice plays. Whatever happens, happens.” Coach Littman admitted he was just as shocked as anyone by the Blue Devils’ post-season run after suffering six regular season losses. “We’re very surprised we ended up this far,” he said. “Our opposition seemed so strong early in the season. These kids just made themselves as the season went along.” Huntington won its last 11 games and finished with a 14-6 record. A crowd estimated at 7,000 turned out for the Long Island championship game against Manhasset on June 4, 1975 at 8 p.m. at Hofstra. The Blue Devils were outshot 13-2 in the first quarter alone, but

aaron littman died at the age of 79. Littman rallied his troops. Bruce Pomper scored three goals and Millner and McGuire tallied two goals each. Dave Wood and Bob Garry also scored for Huntington. It was the first Long Island title for the Blue Devils since 1965. The 1975 season exemplified Littman’s never-give-up philosophy. Huntington lost its first four games of the season, including a 16-1 wipeout at the hands of Maryland’s Gilman High School. “When we lost those first four games,

my wife told me maybe it’s a rebuilding year,” he said after the win over Manhasset. “But I couldn’t accept it. I could see in certain instances that the kids were capable of doing something. I don’t think they knew how good they were themselves.” A familiar face around Northport, Littman ran in road races for decades. He would always be on or near the water, and regularly ran into former players and teaching and coaching friends in area restaurants. Littman is survived by his wife of 54

years, Bobbi; children Steven (Sharon), Cheryl (Brett Klopp) and Marc (Juliane); and seven grandchildren. He is also survived by his two sisters, Flora Lee Cohen and Roberta Nelson, and three nieces. A graveside service was held at Northport Rural Cemetery in Northport May 14. Those wishing to honor Littman’s memory with a donation are encouraged to support the Louis J. Acompora Memorial Foundation or the Cow Harbor Warriors. —huntington athletics

Thumbs up for green zones We’re optimistic about the future of our local environment, especially when we discover elected officials are doing their part to create a greener Long Island. Times Beacon Record was impressed to hear that at a May 9 meeting, the Huntington Town board members approved a resolution to explore the benefits of replacing gas-fueled landscaping equipment with battery-operated units at Heckscher Park and Huntington Town Hall. If the changes are implemented, the locations would be considered green zones, which means the areas are maintained with zero-emission lawn care equipment. With assessments by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer showing that outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans, any decrease in emissions in our air is a step in the right direction. We also praise the Huntington residents who for months have been vocal about the town going green. Many cited gas-fueled equipment can contribute to hearing loss and asthma, and using the battery-operated equivalents in addition to decreasing emissions would also reduce noise. The town will seek advice by retaining an American Green Zone Alliance study on Huntington’s existing landscaping practices, and after their findings, AGZA will recommend the appropriate equipment and provide instruction in use, care and maintenance for town employees. We feel the partnership with a leader in a nationwide effort to help communities address noise and air pollution issues demonstrates the priority the town has given to protecting our environment. We hope the prospect of green zones in Huntington will inspire other towns to follow suit. Residents also should be motivated by the program to use or request landscapers to use cordless electrical and manual equipment in place of gas-fueled units. Every bit of change can help improve our environment, and with summer just around the corner, there’s no time like the present to start living greener.

The memories coloring can bring back My name is Marie Marchese. I’m 77 years old, and I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to enter the adult coloring contest. When I told my husband Frank, who is 79 years old, “I’m going to enter a coloring contest,” he said, “Why not.” He laughed and said, “You always like to color.”

Frank knew me when I was four, and he was six years old. We lived in the same project in Brooklyn. Frank used to watch me sit on a green bench my father made, and after school, I would color every day. My mother entered me in a Roy Rogers coloring contest, and I won a complete outfit — pants, jacket and cowboy hat.

As I got older, a lot has changed but this contest brought back a beautiful memory. We will be married 59 years. We had a wonderful life and three children (one girl, two boys) and eight grandchildren. Thank you so very much.

Being held accountable for health care vote Thank you U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin for voting “yes” for Trumpcare in the House of Representatives. This bill slashes insurance subsidies, makes drastic cuts to Medicaid, guts pre-existing condition protection, defunds Planned Parenthood and makes insurance

less comprehensive. The bill was passed without holding any hearings or giving the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office time to do an analysis. Thank you for stripping health insurance from at least 24 million Americans. Thank you

because you will be held to your unconscionable vote when Suffolk County voters go to the polls in 2018 and vote against Trumpcare and the Republicans who voted for it. The voters will not forget.

OpiniOn Riding in cars with kids

he best way to get to know your kids, especially if they are teenagers, is to drive them and their friends, teammates and classmates. If your daughter texts you from school and asks, “Hey, Mom and/or Dad, can one of you drive three of my friends around?” don’t hesitate. The answer, of course, can’t be what you might think. You can’t say, “Yes! Of course, that’d be great.” You’ve got to play cool, By Daniel Dunaief becauseitthe moment she catches on to the fact that you actually have ears and are listening to the conversation in the car, you’re done. Yes, I know the temptation, after a long day, is to pick up only the kid that you’re responsible for, the

D. None of the above

one whose clothing you washed for the 10th time this week and whose teeth are straightening because you brought her to the orthodontist for yet another visit. However, the rewards from just a tad more effort more than tip the scales in favor of the few extra miles. The key to making this supersecret spy mission work is not to let them use their phones, to take routes where cell reception is poor or, somehow, to encourage conversation. If they’re all sitting in the back seat, texting other people or showing each other pictures on one of the social networks, then the effort, time and assault on your nose aren’t worth it. Seriously, anyone who has driven a group of teenagers around after a two-hour practice should keep a container of something that smells more tolerable nearby. When it’s too cold to stick my head out the window or when the smell becomes overwhelming, I have become a shallow mouth breather. But, again, if the conversation goes in the right direction, it’s worth it.

Put four or five or seven, if you can fit them, kids in a car, and you might get some high entertainment. If you’re quiet enough, you might learn a few things about school or your kids. “So, Sheila is so ridiculous,” Allison recently declared to my daughter. “She only talks about herself and her feelings. Have you ever noticed that? She turns every conversation into a story about herself. I mean, the other day, she was telling me about her brother, and her story about her brother isn’t nearly as interesting as my story.” At that point, Allison then talked about her brother and herself for the next five minutes. Tempted as I was to ask about the story Sheila told about her brother, so I could compare the stream of stories about Sheila’s brother to Allison’s, I knew better. The boys also enter the realm of the car social laboratory experiment after a game or practice. “Hey, what’d you think about the movie in French?”

Wait, they watched a movie in French? Again, you can’t ask any questions or everyone retreats to their phones or remembers that the car isn’t driving itself. You have to be inconspicuous or you will be relegated to the penalty box of listening to one-word answers from your suddenly sullen sports star. “You did well in that presentation in English?” A presentation? English? Quiet! Quiet! You have to breathe normally and act like you’re giving all of your attention to the road. Once the car empties and it’s just your son or daughter, you can ask specific questions. You might want to mix up some of the details, just so it doesn’t seem like you were listening carefully. “So, you had a presentation in history?” “No, Dad, that was in English,” your son will correct. Then he may share details that otherwise would never have made it past a stringent teenage filter.

paying customer, are astonishing. Yet here is another story, closer to home and less violent, of insensitivity to customers. I was riding the Long Island Rail Road home from Penn Station on a weekday afternoon, expecting the usual change at Huntington for Port Jefferson, when an announcement over the public address system advised us that the connecting train was arriving across the tracks on the south side of the station. We were told to use the stairs to cross over if we wanted to continue east. It seemed a bit of an inconvenience until we walked down the platform to the stairway and found the entrance blocked. Turning around to find the next closest stairway over the tracks, I saw that some of the passengers behind me were using walkers or canes. As they saw the locked gate to the stairs, they became frantic. The next crossover was a half block down the platform. Did you ever witness people with walkers and canes trying to run? The sight is pathetic. And the rest of us didn’t look too graceful, huffing and puffing our way to try and catch

the waiting train. The stairs were steep to the top of the overpass, and the passages on the south side leading back down to the platform and to the parking lot were confusing. We ran by an elevator, and some of us pressed the button, but it took what seemed like forever to arrive. Once inside, we were confronted with different buttons that were labeled, each with an ambiguous letter. We pushed the wrong button and wound up on the ground floor. Breathless at this point, we rushed back up the stairs to the platform just in time to see the train pulling away. Those with the walkers and canes, as well as those of us too slow to navigate in time, perhaps a dozen in total, were left to wait the hour and a half until the next train. The moans were loud. There is, of course, pressure on the engineers and conductors to keep to a schedule. A regular report grades the on-time performance of the LIRR, and there is much disgruntlement when the trains are habitually late. So there was reason for the train to pull away before all the passengers had crossed

the tracks. But where was the caring? Some of the passengers were lame. Some were old. Some were just out of shape for a sudden dash up, around and down the granite stairways. It would have taken perhaps another two minutes for the rest of the group to reach the train. Where was the respect for the paying customer? Perhaps this sort of disregard is inevitable in a monopolistic situation. There is no other train line to use. There aren’t that many different airlines left in our country after the assorted mergers. Or is it something else, something having to do with our society as a whole? Yes, in many ways we have become more tolerant over the past century, more accepting of differences. We have also become more relaxed, less formal in our dealings with each other — and not in a negative way. But there are some aspects of previous generations that are sadly scarce. I could name a few: politeness, honor, civility, patience, respect. We rush around a lot, but I’m not sure we always get where we want to be. And if we don’t rush, we get left behind.

No respect on public transportation

veryone knows about the doctor who was forcibly removed from his place on a United Airlines plane when no one volunteered to give up seats to accommodate a flight crew traveling to another airport. Fortunately for the doctor, another passenger videoed the event, and the video went viral. The public outrage that followed is prompting congressional hearings, new By Leah S. Dunaief rules within the airline industry and new laws regarding removal by police of an unwilling passenger. I think it is fair to say that the reaction to the incident is one of total disbelief that such an act could happen here in the United States. The callousness and utter disregard for the safety of the man, incidentally a
