Town OKs $1.6M to buy parking spots petrone: parking garage in works By Rohma aBBas

Huntington village’s parking pickle may soon become a little less of one. On Tuesday, the town board green-lighted a $1.6 million purchase of property on West Carver Street to create about 66 new parking spaces in the village. The board unanimously authorized Supervisor Frank Petrone or his representative to execute a contract to purchase a portion of the prop-

erty at 24 W. Carver St. from owner Anna Louise Realty II LLC — right across the road from the New Street municipal parking lot. The money will be bonded over a 10-year period, Petrone told reporters after the meeting. It won’t be the only parking update in Huntington village this season. Petrone said the town is working with the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce and the HuntingparKing continued on page a9

A new Huntington Town citizens group will boost a movement to upgrade the Northport power plant, independently studying the issue and submitting ideas to town officials. The town board, on Tuesday, unanimously supported a measure co-sponsored by Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) and Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) to create the Repower Now Citizens Committee, a group of nine who will weigh in on an analysis the Long Island Power Authority and National Grid are conducting with respect to repowering, or upgrading, the plant. Earlier this year, the state charged LIPA and National Grid with studying the feasibility of repowering the Northport power plant, the Port Jefferson power plant and others. Having the Repower

Now Citizens Committee can only boost that effort, Cuthbertson and Petrone said in interviews with reporters after Tuesday’s meeting. Local leaders want to see the aging Northport plant repowered so it will remain a source of energy and property tax revenue for years to come. Several local budgets, including that of the Northport-East Northport school district, rely heavily on the tax revenue. Upgrading the Northport power plant can be done, Petrone said. It will be the new group’s responsibility to support repowering by producing a factual analysis on the issue. “Our plant is probably the most viable plant to be utilized for that,” Petrone said, explaining Northport’s advantages in being repowered. “It has property available and it can be expanded. The need now is to put together a group to POWER PLANT continued on page A11

Brady, Huntington’s top cop, to bow out Inspector to retire following 36 years By Rohma aBBas

Suffolk County police Inspector Edward Brady, who touts a 36-year history of service, will hang his hat in retirement on Friday. The inspector, who has served at the helm of the 2nd Precinct for five and a half years, was honored in style at Tuesday’s town board meeting, which was attended by Brady’s wife, Lori, and many 2nd Precinct and county police officials, including Commissioner Edward Webber.

Town board members praised Brady, including Councilwoman Tracey Edwards (D), who issued the inspector a town proclamation for his service — but not before ticking off the inspector’s storied resume. Edwards said 14 of Brady’s 36 years of service were at the 2nd Precinct. He graduated from the police academy in July 1979 and first joined the 2nd Precinct in October that year. From then on, he moved between precincts and roles, eventually rising to become the 2nd Precinct’s commanding officer in 2009. Edwards said she was “so, so proud to be honoring” Brady and called him one of a kind. “Inspector Brady, Supervisor Petrone said it right. You are calm. You are thoughtful, responsive, accessible and very candid.” The inspector said he’s honored to have served the Town of Huntington. “The people here really take pride in their commu-

nity,” he said. 3rd Precinct Deputy Inspector Christopher Hatton, of Miller Place, will take over for Brady post-retirement. He said he’s looking forward to the new role.

“Hopefully I do as good a job as the previous inspector did,” he said. Asked what’s next for him, Brady said he plans to spend time with his kids, embark on

house projects at his home in the Town of Islip and get some golfing in. “[Suffolk Deputy Chief Kevin Fallon] told me I have to work on my chip shot,” Brady joked.

North Shore native puts solar shingles in spotlight By Alex Petroski

The idea of installing solar panels to a roof as a source of electricity for a home is not exactly prehistoric. Reducing the use of electricity or gas to power and heat homes undoubtedly has a positive effect on the environment. Despite being fairly new to the market, solar panels may be supplanted soon by a less expensive, more effective alternative. Solar shingles have been available in the United States for about five years, according to an estimate by Richard Ciota, a Stony Brook resident who owns Division 7 Inc. Ciota’s 21-year-old roofing company is located in Lake Grove. Its residential division is the only one in the Suffolk County, Nassau County and New York City areas permitted to sell Dow Powerhouse solar shingles. Solar panels have been available for decades, Ciota said in an interview at Division 7’s main office. They are at this point more efficient in generating electricity than shingles in terms of kilowatts per-square-foot of roof space, though there are problems associated with panels that contribute to the higher cost Ciota said. “When you’re putting a solar panel onto a roof surface, you’re mounting that solar panel to the rafters through the existing roof,” Ciota said about the older technology, which his company offered prior to the

availability of shingles. “So the waterproof technology has got to be perfect because you could be putting 40, 50, 60 penetrations through a perfectly good roof.” Wind, shade from trees, excessive heat and animals are other factors that Ciota said are enemies to solar panels, which are installed on top of asphalt shingles and leave wiring exposed to the elements. Wind can cause the panels to pull the asphalt shingles away from the roof, which is an annoying and costly problem to have to fix after panels are installed. Solar shingles replace asphalt shingles. They are waterproof and work in the same way that any conventional asphalt shingle would along with the added benefit of a reduced electric bill and a more environmentally friendly home than one that runs on electricity or gas heating. Despite availability and the obvious benefits, solar panels only currently exist on about 5 percent of Long Island homes, according to Ciota. The number of homes with solar shingles is exponentially smaller. John Petroski, Division 7’s director of solar and residential operations, estimated that the company has done about 70 shingle installations on Long Island since 2012 when Dow partnered with Division 7 Inc. Petroski said they have about 35 booked jobs left to complete, as part of Dow’s pilot program, which offered leasing or purchasing options to consumers.

solar shingles are installed onto the roof of a long island residential home.

“The way [Dow] is moving forward with the technology of the shingles, the improvements they’re making — they’re covering their bases,” Petroski said in reference to the notion that unanticipated issues have arisen as solar panels have gotten older, which could also happen to the shingles. “I personally think the solar shingle will take over the marketplace,” Ciota said about the future as the technology continues to be upgraded. “There are new generations of solar shingles that will be coming out that will increase its efficiency

and eventually they’ll probably tie up and meet [the efficiency of panels].” Other companies sell solar shingles on Long Island, though Dow’s are widely considered to be on the cutting edge. In 2012 Dow received a Breakthrough Award from the magazine Popular Mechanics for pioneering an integrated solar roofing system, according to a press release on Dow’s website. Note: John Petroski, director of solar and residential operations, is this writer’s brother.

The race for Huntington Town Board is on Eight individuals submit petitions to run last week By Rohma aBBas

A primary election is brewing for the Democratic Party line in the Huntington Town Board race this November, but it won’t happen without a fight. Last Thursday marked the deadline for candidates running for offices in Huntington Town to file necessary signature petitions with the Suffolk County Board of Elections. And already, the validity of some of those petitions has been challenged in the form of general objections. General objections reserve a candidate’s right to file specifications of objections at a later date — and this year, that date is July 20. With two open seats on the board, and four Democrats seeking the ballot line, a primary is pending if the contenders whose petitions are being challenged emerge unscathed. Objections to signature petitions can include claims challenging the validity of the signatures, the validity of a person carrying the petition and other issues, according to Nick LaLota, the Republican Suffolk County Board of Elections commissioner. Incumbent Susan Berland (D) and her running mate Keith Barrett (D), who is the town’s deputy director of General Services

and president of the Huntington Station Business Improvement District, are endorsed by the Huntington Town Democratic Committee to run for the board. Democrat contenders Andrew Merola, of Huntington Station, and former longtime Highway Superintendent William Naughton — who are not endorsed by the committee — face general objections by a number of individuals, according to a document provided by LaLota. Earlier this week, Berland said the Democratic Party in Huntington is united, despite a potential four-way race for the line. “The rank and file of the Democratic Party is clearly behind myself and Keith Barrett,” she said. “That can be [evident] from the collecting of signatures. All of mine and Keith’s signatures were collected by Democratic Committee people. The other two can’t say the same.” When reached on Tuesday, Merola, a business account manager at Verizon, said he’s been notified of getting a general objection to his petition, he realizes it’s part of the standard protocol of election and he’s waiting on more specifics about the objection. He said he stands by his petition and won’t be challenging others on their petitions. “I’m not interested in playing those

kinds of political games,” he said. “It shouldn’t be about who has the best lawyers. It should be about who has the best ideas.” Candidates for Town Board on other party lines are also facing objections. Incumbent Gene Cook (I) is being challenged by two objections and Charles Marino, an East Northport man, who is vying for the Working Families Party line, is facing a string of objections as

well. Berland and Barrett are also vying for the line. In total, eight individuals are attempting to run for the two open seats on the Town Board — Berland, Cook, Barrett, Merola, Naughton, Northport-East Northport school board Trustee Jennifer Thompson, Huntington Station resident Michael Helfer and Marino. Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Victoria Espinoza contributed reporting.

O’Connor challenges Bellone for executive spot Suffolk Republicans select candidate with experience serving as town councilman, building commissioner By Victoria Espinoza

The Suffolk County executive race is on. County Republicans have selected Jim O’Connor to challenge Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) in November. And in his words, O’Connor said he could not be more honored to represent his party in the pivotal race. “John Jay LaValle [chairman of the Suffolk County Republican Committee] called me up and asked me if I would be interested in the position, and I said of course,” he said. “Why wouldn’t you be interested in that position?” O’Connor, now a resident of Great River, is a partner in the Manhattan law firm of Maroney O’Connor LLP. He has a long resume of working in local government, starting in the Town of North Hempstead in 1998 as an elected councilman, where he served until 2001. From 2006-08, O’Connor was appointed building commissioner for North Hempstead. He had a very brief run at the Nassau county executive spot in 2001 — for approximately 48 hours, to be exact — before the Nassau Republicans chose to back candidate Bruce Bent instead.

O’Connor’s opponent, Bellone, also garnered similar public service accolades before assuming office at the county level in 2011. Bellone served on the Babylon Town Board for four years, starting in 1997, and was then elected supervisor of Babylon Township in 2001. Since being voted into office, Bellone said he was proud of passing three consecutive balanced budgets under the tax cap, securing a $383 million investment in clean water infrastructure — the largest of the county in 40 years — and negotiating labor contracts that make new employees more affordable and requires new employees to contribute to health care costs. “We must continue to move Suffolk County forward,” Bellone said in an email through a spokesperson. “While we have made a lot of progress there is so much work left to do.” Specifics of moving Suffolk County forward, Bellone said, include continuing to hold the line on taxes, creating new jobs, growing the economy and keeping young people on Long Island. Bellone also said he is interested in better utilizing the many assets that Suffolk

County has, including Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. If re-elected, he said he wants to make sure the county is leveraging those assets to create innovation jobs. But O’Connor said he found flaws in the way that Bellone has handled the financial aspects of the county. “The attitude is, ‘Let’s put off tomorrow what we could do today,’ and that

is hurting my children and my children’s children, in terms of the amount of debt that will fall on their shoulders,” O’Connor said in a phone interview. Under an O’Connor administration, there would be an implementation of a Suffolk County debt management plan, which would start the process of a debt ceiling, much like what has been done in Washington D.C., O’Connor told Times EXECUTIVE RACE continued on page A10

Huntington welcomes new faculty members By Giselle Barkley

On July 7, the Huntington school board appointed three new faces to serve in administrative roles at different levels. The meeting took place at Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School auditorium and ended with the appointment of Kathleen Acker, Joseph DiTroia and Gamal Smith as superintendent and assistant principals, respectively. According to a press release, trustees approved the appointment of Acker who will serve as the superintendent for finance and management services for the Huntington school district’s administrative team. Before joining this team, Acker was a busi-

ness education teacher for six years at Walt Whitman High School. Since 2010, Acker was also the high school’s principal. But before she was in charge of overseeing 250 Walt Whitman staff members and nearly 1,900 students, Acker was the school’s assistant principal for six years. She attended Long Island University Post, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in management. She then attended Stony Brook University for her Master of Science in technological systems management. Acker, who will assume the appointed position on Aug. 3, also has an advanced graduate certificate for school district administration, which she received while attending Stony Brook. Acker will replace Sammy Gergis starting Aug. 3 and receives a salary of $185,000 for this position. Acker is up for tenure Aug. 3, 2019. Both DiTroia and Smith will serve as assistant principals at Huntington High School and assumed their positions on July 8. Both individuals will receive a salary of $137,041. DiTroia will also handle master scheduling duties. According to Jim Hoops, public information coordinator for Huntington school district, the assistant principal who handles those duties are required to work 10 extra days in addition to the normal school year workdays. While Smith is not replacing a current faculty member, DiTroia will replace Brenden Cusack, according to a Huntington school board meeting agenda. For DiTroia, life before Huntington High

School included serving as a teaching assistant for two years at Plainedge High School. For nine years, he was also a social studies teacher at William Maxwell Career and Technical Education High School in Brooklyn, followed by becoming the dean of discipline. His accomplishments include serving as the dean of students and positions as the assistant principal of Alfred G. Berner Middle School in Massapequa and North Babylon High School, respectively. DiTroia received a Bachelor of Arts in history while attending the University of Delaware. He also acquired a Master of Science in secondary education from Queens College. Smith attended Clarkson University, where he received a Bachelor of Science in biology and premedicine. He attended Mercy College and obtained a Master of Science. Before the board appointed him as one of the assistant principals, Smith worked at Richmond Hill High School as a teacher and lab instructor. While working at John Adams High School, Smith served as the dean of students. He was also the assistant principal at John W. Dodd Middle School and PS 212 in the Bronx. Smith held the positions of assistant principal and science department chairman at Dr. Richard Izaquierdo Health & Science Charter School, was a science teacher and the dean of students for PS 254, and the principal of Nassau BOCES Positive Alternative Twilight

DiTroia and Smith could not wait to get to work, as they began familiarizing themselves with the high school as well as Huntington faculty and staff members only several hours after the board appointed them to assistant principal positions.

Huntington recognizes long-time employees Photo from Huntington Town

Long-time employees receive thanks and recognition. Above, employees flanked by Huntington Town Board members, along with Town Clerk Jo-Ann Raiaw (third from right)

The Town of Huntington held a special luncheon on June 9 to recognize long-time town employees, highlighting the contributions of 61 workers who have been with the town for 30 or more years. Of the 61 employees, 15 are

marking their 30th anniversary in 2015; another 15 marked theirs in 2014; and 31 have been with the town for 32 or more years. Four have been with the town for more than 40 years. The longest serving employee, Edward Schiavone in the High-

way Department, has worked for the town for 46 years. Almost every town department was represented, led by Highway, with 13 employees, and Environmental Waste Management and General Services, with 10 each. The honorees included two

elected officials, Town Clerk JoAnn Raia (R) and Receiver of Taxes Ester Bivona (D), each of whom celebrate their 33rd anniversary this year. At the luncheon, Supervisor Frank P. Petrone (D) and Town Board members Mark Cuthbert-

son (D), Susan A. Berland (D), Eugene Cook (I) and Tracey A. Edwards (D) each thanked the employees for their dedication to the town and its residents. The employees each received a proclamation from the town, signed by Town Board members.

A tricky tick situation on LI Another tick virus appears in Connecticut, as population increases after snowy winter By Giselle Barkley

As Long Islanders are warned about an uptick in Lyme disease, another tick-borne virus has emerged in Connecticut across the Long Island Sound. Nearly 12 years ago, Eric Powers, a biologist and wildlife educator, noticed an increase in the tick population at Caleb Smith park in Smithtown, after pulling nearly 40 ticks off a group of his students. Powers conducted a survey of the park and discovered the population of tick predators had decreased, as feral and outdoor house cats either chased them off or killed them. “It’s becoming a huge nationwide issue with our wildlife,” Powers said during a phone interview. “Wherever people are letting their cats out, we’re seeing this disruption in ecosystem where these tick predators are gone.” But what Powers did not find was the prevalence of a tick-borne virus, the Powassan virus, which recently appeared in Bridgeport and Branford in Connecticut. Between 1971 and 2014, 20 cases of POW virus were re-

ported in New York, according to the Cornell Cooperative Extension in Suffolk County. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports the virus has been found in Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. Like Lyme disease, the virus can cause long-term neurological problems if left untreated. But Long Island POW virus incidences remain low despite the increase in tick population, according to Daniel Gilrein, an entomologist at Cornell Cooperative Extension. POW virus, which is related to the West Nile virus, was first identified in Powassan in Ontario, Canada, in 1958 after a young boy was bitten by an infected tick. Little is known about how much the tick population has exactly increased on Long Island, but Tamson Yeh, pest management and turf specialist for the Cornell Cooperative Extension, said it is unlikely cats are contributing to the increase by eating tick predators like birds. “Birds will eat ticks, but not

ton Station Business Improvement District to draft a request for proposals to build a parking garage in town — an idea town officials and residents have mulled for years. “It’s a beginning,” Petrone said. “We made a commitment that parking is a continuum. We changed the meters. We have a different approach. We restriped, we added more spots, we redid lots. And now this is adding like 66 more additional spots, which is pretty substantial given the fact of the needs in the town.” Town officials are hoping to get the RFP out by the end of summer, Petrone said. Asked where the structure would be sited, the supervisor said there have been discussions about locating it at the New Street lot, right across from the 66 additional spaces. If a parking structure is to be built, it is likely current spots would be closed

all birds are insect eaters,” Yeh said in a phone interview. She said the snow cover during the winter months served as insulation for the ticks hiding in the ground, which helped them survive during the colder weather. Richard Kuri, president of R.J.K. Gardens, a St. Jamesbased landscaping company, has not noticed an increase in tick population recently. Regardless, he and his men continue to wear long sleeves and use a variety of sprays to ward off bugs while on the job. Kuri also said people may use more natural remedies to deter ticks. “There are people who ap-

down in the construction process. Part of the idea of purchasing the 66 spaces would be to help mitigate parking during the building of a structure, he said. Petrone said the town’s been thinking up creative ways to finance a parking structure. Asked how the town would pay for such a facility, Petrone said it could be a private project, with the town providing the developer with a lease to the land, or it could be a public-private partnership. If a private entity were to come in, it would have to be worthwhile to them financially. To that end, he said “we’ve heard all sorts of ideas,” like building apartments or shops into the structure — properties that could be rented out. He said officials have also explored whether the cost of parking in the structure would suffice in terms of paying off the debt service on the bond. The supervisor said he’s also weighed creating a parking district for the whole village area, with businesses paying into it. The chamber of commerce has “played an integral part in the push for increased parking options” in the town

ply peppermint oil and rosemary mix that will help,” Kuri said. “But none of them are cure-alls.” He added that granular insecticides, like Dylox, help kill a variety of unwanted bugs including ticks carrying viruses like Powassan. There are two strains of the virus, which are carried by woodchuck and deer ticks. Since only about 60 cases of POW virus were reported in the United States in the past 10 years, Yeh said the chance of encountering POW virus is unlikely since the virus is rare. Symptoms of the virus include fever, headaches, vomiting, weakness, confusion,

drowsiness, lethargy, partial paralysis, disorientation, loss of coordination, speech impairment, seizures, and memory loss. Other complications in infected hosts may possibly arise, such as encephalitis, inflammation of the brain and meningitis. Powers said he hopes to reduce tick population on Long Island through his quail program. He encourages local teachers, who use chicks or ducklings to educate their students about the circle of life, to raise bobwhite quails. He said releasing these quails annually will not only help them adjust to the presence of cats, but also control the tick population.

over the last three years, according to David Walsdorf, a chamber board member and member of the Huntington Village Parking Consortium. “We view the parking challenge as a positive reflection of the growth and vitality of our flourishing businesses and we continue to support further improvement in our infrastructure to meet the needs and sustainability of our community,” he said in a statement.

Chamber chairman Bob Scheiner praised the news. “The Huntington Chamber of Commerce is proud to be a part of this parking consortium and we fully support the supervisor and town board in this acquisition, which will go a long way to help the parking situation in downtown,” he said in a statement. “The chamber looks forward to the release of the RFP and thanks the board for their efforts.”

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone speaks at an event. He is preparing to face Republican challenger Jim O’Connor in his re-election bid later this year.

EXECUTIVE RACE Continued from page A7

Beacon Record Newspapers in an exclusive interview. “It’s a simple concept,” he said. “Let’s look at the county’s existing revenue streams and compare it to the county’s maturing debt in an effort to retire, or reduce, the interest payments that will burden future generations of Suffolk residents.” Suffolk County has $180 million of structural deficit and more than $1.5 billion in cumulative debt, according to O’Connor, who said these factors have led the New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, a Democrat, to say that the county is in fiscal distress. O’Connor said he wants to stand up for the taxpayers of the county. According to Bellone, when he first entered office, Suffolk County’s finances were in free fall, with a deficit of more than $400 million. He has since cut the deficit significantly by shrinking the government by more than 10 percent. “I know that Suffolk County taxpayers are overburdened,” Bellone said. “That’s why I am committed to staying under

the property tax cap at the same time as I cut my own salary and volunteered to be the first employee in the history of Suffolk County to directly contribute to their health care.” Keith Davies, campaign manager for Bellone, said his candidate is the right choice for residents to continue moving Suffolk County forward: “Steve Bellone has a proven record of protecting our tax dollars and our quality of life. He’s balanced three consecutive budgets, kept taxes under the tax cap and protected our drinking water by investing in our clean water infrastructure.” The Suffolk County Republicans, however, said they believed O’Connor would lead the county in a better direction. In a statement, LaValle said O’Connor’s reputation from both Democrats and Republicans from North Hempstead is what drew him to asking him to fight for the position. “He’s a guy that is very well respected of course by Republicans in the area, but also by many Democrats,” LaValle said. “In this day and age of almost political hate, here is a guy where not only Republicans but prominent Democrats were speaking very highly of him. That stuck with me.”

basically put some kind of study together … to support this. And there are many people out there that have expertise that we would wish to tap.” Membership would include at least one person each from Northport and Asharoken villages, someone from the Northport-East Northport school district and members with engineering and sustainable energy backgrounds. Repowering has another benefit: It may help settle a lawsuit LIPA brought against the town, challenging it over the value of the power plant. LIPA claims the plant has been grossly over-assessed and the utility has overpaid taxes to the town. If LIPA’s suit is

successful, the judgment could translate into double-digit tax increases for other Huntington Town and Northport-East Northport school district taxpayers. If, however, the utility chooses to repower by upgrading the facility, the town has offered to keep its assessment flat, preventing those skyrocketing taxes. “It’s a lawsuit that’s a very, very highstakes lawsuit,” Cuthbertson told reporters after the meeting. “We have to look at both legal and political solutions, and political being through legislation. This is a part of trying to formulate a legislative solution and come up with a compromise that we might be able to work through.” Petrone said he hopes to have the repowering citizens group assembled within a month.

OPINION EDITORIAL

New school year, new outlook

School boards across Long Island swore in new members and re-elected trustees in the last couple of weeks to kick off a brand new school year. With every fresh start, we have an opportunity to better our communities, and ourselves, but this idea carries even greater weight when a top state education official is also starting a new term. Our greatest hope is that our superintendents, school board trustees, parents, principals, teachers unions and other leaders will make every effort to partner with the state’s new education commissioner, MaryEllen Elia. The New York native, who was a teacher in this state and a superintendent in Florida, took the helm from controversial former Commissioner John B. King Jr. this month. She certainly has a rough road and a lot of work ahead — agreeing to pilot an education system in which large numbers of students are refusing state exams and concerned parents are protesting the Common Core Learning Standards on a regular basis. It’s not a job many would envy. King’s approach to implementing the Common Core left a bad taste in a lot of parents’ and

educators’ mouths, but we should be careful not to allow that sourness to affect our relationship with Elia — she deserves a chance to prove herself. We should do our best to open the dialogue and calmly communicate our grievances. We should keep open minds and be willing to collaborate. Our children and our education system are important to the present and future of our com-

munities. In order to stay competitive globally and to further challenge our teachers and students, we need to keep as our No. 1 goal the improvement of our educational system. It sorely needs improvement. Let’s do everything we can to build a positive relationship with this new commissioner, and thus build a more positive school environment for our students who will inherit the future.

One solution to a larger issue

To ThE EdiTor: We Americans like quick fixes — especially to national problems. I abhor the terrorist act perpetrated at the South Carolina church and believe that the Confederate flag should not fly over government buildings. The only flag that should fly over any government building is the U.S. flag. But banning the sale of the Confederate flag as one solution to the issue is too easy. It makes us feel that we are doing the moral thing when it really does nothing to affect the changes needed to cure the hatred that prompts such terrorist acts. The only thing that will do that is to change what is in the heart of some Americans. We need to remember what Abraham Lincoln said in his first inaugural address: “We are not enemies, but friends. ... Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory ... will yet swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” Ernestine Franco Sound Beach Editor’s note: The writer is a proofreader at Times Beacon Record Newspapers.

Going to a better place, finding everlasting peace

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

nxious, muted conversations filled the church. People in mostly dark colors tilted their heads to the side, offering sympathetic hugs, knowing nods and long handshakes. The attendees had come to pay their final respects to Dr. Phil Riggio, someone my family has known for more than

four decades. A husband, grandfather and friend, he shared a positive, patient energy, which made him an effective doctor. As I sat in the church, looking up at the stars and moon on the stained glass windows, I could hear his calm voice as he offered comfort to a much younger version of myself. Whenever I contracted yet another case of strep throat, he talked to me, looked me in the eye, and waited until I was ready for that unfortunate moment when he had to swab the back of my throat. Once the mourners entered in the back of the room, the church became completely silent. Holding the hands of her children, Marge Riggio took one slow agonizing step after the other toward the front of the room. Her eyes nearly sealed shut to the painful reality, she showed the raw emotions of someone suffering from the agony of an irreversible loss. As

the widow passed each row, the mourners reached for tissues and handkerchiefs. She was at the leading edge of a powerful wave of emotion for him that moved through the room one row at a time. Whatever she or others felt about her husband going to a better place and finding everlasting peace, it was clear that those still living on Earth would feel his absence keenly. More than half a century earlier, the Riggios were married, starting their life together. All these years later, Marge has three children and eight grandchildren she shared with her dignified, respectful and warmhearted husband. Her family embraced her, offering to hold her hand, to listen to the words mixed with soft sobs and tears, and to bring their bodies into close contact. We all felt and will continue to feel the absence of this remarkable man who shared so much

with my family and, after my father died, with my mom. The friendship my mother had with the Riggios didn’t change at all after two couples became a couple and a widow. Marge and Phil stood shoulder to shoulder with my mother, whether their shoulders were on Long Island, at an opera in New York City or waiting in line to ride an elephant in South Africa. On this impossible day, when Marge Riggio said goodbye to the man she’d loved for more than 50 years, I could see and feel the depth of the love they shared. My wife asked me when we got married if everyone felt the same way we did when we started out; if they had the same sense of belonging and fitting together; and if they saw the whole world in each other’s faces. I can’t answer that for the rest of the world, but I could certainly see it in the way the Riggios lived. Love is not an entitlement,

Dr. Riggio’s widow was at the leading edge of a powerful wave of emotion for him. given to us the same way our genes are handed down from one generation to the next. We earn it and work at it and, when it’s mutually shared and respected, we use it to power everything we do. The end of a life threatens to remove the air we breathe. Surrounded by family and friends, we dare to take those next steps, buoyed by years of memories, holding parts of those who have left us deep within our hearts.

There is no life without loss

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

oss is upsetting. Leaving a favorite scarf behind in a restaurant cloakroom is annoying. We return to the restaurant and the silk scarf that we treasured from our trip to Thailand is no longer there. Losing one’s keys, or driver’s license or even passport is aggravating. Having to remake the keys on our ring is time consuming. Going to the DMV for a new license is beyond time consuming. And

applying for a new passport, always just before we need one is the epitome of high stress. But on a relative scale, these are trivial losses. There are other kinds of loss. We might lose our job. Our company, under economic pressures, may have eliminated our department, and there are not a lot of openings for our position in other places. Such a loss might herald serial losses to come. Without a job we might not be able to pay the rent and be forced to leave our apartment, and move back with parents. Or depending on our stage of life, we might not meet our mortgage obligations with dire consequences for our family home. Financial losses can sometimes trigger the loss of a relationship if the stress becomes too great. Marriages break up, families divide, lives take unexpected turns as a result of different kinds of loss. As we know too well, the loss of a treasured

relationship can be caused by any number of factors. Sometimes people lose their way. They may think they are set on a particular path but enough obstacles may cause them to rock back on their heels and try to figure out what to do next. They may even, for a time, lose their sense of self and have to figure out who they are and what they want right from square one again. The ultimate loss is death. The death of a loved one is irreversible, and whatever we may feel about life after death for the deceased, that person is physically lost to those who continue living. If we have lost a friend, no longer will he or she be there to listen, to lend a hand, to give advice, to suggest fun trips or provide bottomless hospitality or just precious companionship. Those whom we have loved for a long time are no longer witness to our lives, to our triumphs and our sorrows.

They seemed as much a part of our lives as our limbs, but now they are severed and will no longer walk with us into the future. It is hard to comprehend. It is even harder to bear. The heart hurts. So what do we do in the face of such loss? We tighten the inner circle that existed around the loved one by holding each other close. We dwell on the wonderful attributes of the person who is no longer with us and use them as an inspiration for ourselves. We chuckle together over the shortcomings of that person because we don’t want to lose the humanness of our friend. Indeed we may have loved him or her as much for that person’s perceived failings as for the virtues. Nor do we want to lose the truthfulness of our memories. The deceased lives on in our heads. We can talk with that person, however one sided the conversations, ask advice and reliably supply the LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz

The death of a loved one is irreversible. answers because we knew that person so well. We can remember the endless times and places we have been together, the secrets we have shared, the many ways our horizons were broadened and our knowledge increased because of our common experiences and our relationship throughout our lives. And we can move on. Our friend would want that, in fact, insist on it. When one dies, his or her story ends and is physically left behind at that place and time. But the stories of the living continue and sooner or later must be embraced. Goodbye, dear friend. We will miss you for the rest of our lives. Thank you for all you have been and all you have given us. It has been a blessing to know you.

Blue Devils runners lace up shoes for fall Cross Country This fall could be the Huntington High School boys’ cross country team’s breakthrough season. Kyle O’Brien, Shane McGuire and Ethan Dywer are the team’s top three returning runners that will look to make an impact on the team this upcoming season. “If they put in the summer work they are going to bring a big 1-2-3 punch as all have been showing huge improvements over the past year,” Huntington head coach Shawn Anderson said. “Shane had a big breakout season in track and cross country last year, so we’re looking to see if it translates to a big year this coming fall.” Ryan Smith, Connor Grosso, Ryan Photo by Jimi Mello

Kyle O’Brien leads the pack in a previous race.

Mock, Quinn Kemerson, Danny Collins and Nick Sanin will look to compete for those last four spots to round out the Blue Devils’ competitive top seven. “We are going to have a lot of unknowns in terms of newcomers from Finley Middle School,” Anderson said. “Our league has also changed, so we will be seeing new competition. Hopefully this translates to some wins.” The Blue Devils finished last year’s cross country season with an 0-6 record and moved from League IV to League III. “We have been in a building phase for a few years; always with a strong front, but the pack hasn’t always been where it needed to be to win those close meets,” Anderson said. The Blue Devils have lost several contests by a point or two.

Travis lax era opens to first year challenges Boys’ LaCrosse The first year of the Kevin Travis era proved challenging for the Huntington boys’ varsity lacrosse team. The Blue Devils compiled a 5-11 record and finished 12th in the League III standings. Huntington was somewhat unlucky, letting leads slip away several times and dropping three games by a single goal and three other games by three goals. The team was never able to win back-toback games. Travis took over for Paul McDermott, who left after more than two decades at the helm of the program. The 33-player strong team was captained by Keegan Reilly, Tim Mattiace, Christian Fiordelisi and Chris Abbondandelo. Mattiace excelled as a longstick midfielder, earning All-County and AllDivision honors. He was named Suffolk League III Defensive Player of the Year. Reilly was recognized as All-Division for his defensive heroics. The Blue Devils claimed wins over East Hampton (17-6), Westhampton Beach (11-6), Eastport-South Manor (109), Comsewogue (11-5) and Kings Park (15-13). From here, the Blue Devils are losing Fiordelisi (33 goals, 11 assists), Mattiace (seven goals, 11 assists), Reilly, Stephen Shivers, Dylan Stieve, Chris Bergmann, Daniel McCartney, Cooper Wakhale (86 saves in goal), Justin Weigold (87 saves in goal), Thomas Waldron and Dylan Wheeler to graduation. Top scorer Garrett Moya, a rising junior who notched 36 goals and 17 assists for a

team-high 53 points will be returning. Also coming back will be Thomas Goldsmith (24 goals, 16 assists), Austin Reda (five goals, 10 assists), Michael Bast (5 goals, 2 assists), Abbondandelo (7 assists), Matt Gelb, Nat Amato, Dan Brown, Brian Weigold, Lawrence Leake, Jared Leake, Ryan Gorecki and Ethan Dwyer (five saves in goal). “This season was great and I learned a lot from the team and especially the seniors,” Moya said. “They taught me to play with cooperation and showed me that the team was a family. I’m going to miss them a lot. I’m very excited for next year and think that we can have great success. It’s going to be nice to be one of the older guys on the team. Hopefully I can help show the younger guys the ropes the same way that the seniors have taught me.”
