The Northport Historical Society is searching for a new director, as Heather Johnson, who has held the position for five years, is moving on to a new job with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. “Her enthusiasm for her job radiates from her and has enabled the Northport community to become much more supportive,” society board of trustees President Steven King said about Johnson in an interview Tuesday. “All of our events that involve social interaction have improved because she enjoys doing things for people, helping people, takes pride in Northport community and that’s been very helpful over the past five years to make the historical society a more successful institution in the village.” Johnson, whose last day is Feb. 11, arrived in January 2011 with nearly two decades of ex-

perience in various departments at Hofstra University. She spent time in their public relations department and in the office of international admissions, taught art history and even spent time working in their oncampus museum. Johnson also had a unique upbringing, spending years living in New York City, Jacksonville, Florida, and England while her mother pursued an opera career. She returned to Long Island in 1989 and currently lives in Smithtown. Her journey prior to landing in Northport, coupled with some of her own personal interests, made the position at the historical society a fit too perfect to pass up. “I’m a history buff,” Johnson said in an interview Tuesday. “I’ve always loved history, since I was a little kid.” She laughed and added, “There are not many little girls dirECtor continued on page a4

Huntington out for blood Even though National Blood Donor Month has come to a close, there is still a great need for donations. “The winter months are typically the most difficult time of year for blood banks and hospitals,” Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (DCenterport) said in an email. “Especially when inclement weather hits; many local blood drives are cancelled or experience low turnout. Your donation can help prevent a shortage and save up to 3 lives!” After winter storm Jonas cancelled blood drives throughout Long Island, the New York Blood Center said they have lost an estimated 3,000 donations — the largest since Superstorm Sandy. “It is essential that donors come together in order to raise our levels back to prestorm so that we can continue supplying the hospitals that serve our communities,” Rob Purvis, vice president of customer service for NYBC said in a press release. All donors must have a valid identi-

A man previously convicted of a sexual offense against a minor was arrested on Jan. 28 after allegedly being caught undressed inside a vehicle with a 14-year-old boy. According to the Suffolk County Police Department, an officer was on routine patrol when he spotted the car in a dark area of the parking lot of the Fort Salonga Shopping Center on Route 25A, near Bread and Cheese Hollow Road, shortly after midnight. Police said the 4th Precinct officer, Dennis Lynch, saw two people inside with their clothes off: registered sex offender and vehicle owner Kieran Bunce, 48, and a 14-year-old boy. The pair had arranged their meeting over a cellphone application, police said, and sexual contact did occur. Bunce is a registered Level 1 offender. According to the database of Parents for Megan’s Law, a nonprofit victim support group that monitors sex offenders, Bunce was previously convicted on a 2003 sexual misconduct charge stemming from an incident with a 16-year-old girl. That charge, a Class A misdemeanor, is a crime of sexual intercourse with someone without their consent, wheth-

Huntington Hospital gets a makeover By Victoria Espinoza

It’s out with the old and in with the new at Huntington Hospital. As of 2016, North Shore-LIJ Health System changed its name to Northwell Health as part of a rebranding and marketing campaign for the largest private employer and health care provider in New York across 21 hospitals including Huntington Hospital. The institution just finished its first month after a major facelift

to the health system, and staffers said they were excited about the changes to the structure. “Being highly visible and clearly understood within and beyond the New York metropolitan area requires strong brand recognition,” Michael J. Dowling, president and chief executive officer of Northwell Health said in a press release. “The Northwell Health name is a reflection of our past and a beacon of our future. It’s unique, simple and approachable, and better

defines who we are and where we are going.” Huntington Hospital first joined the North Shore-LIJ Health System in 1994, and has been able to expand its resources and services to medical staff and patients because of this partnership. With this name change, Northwell Health administrators said the health system intends to build recognition and distinguish the organization “in a cluttered health care market,” according to a press release. Dropping a specific reference to Long Island was also an intentional move to broaden the scope of the coverage area, officials said. “Our trustees recognized the need for a more consumer-friendly name that did not confine us geographically and reflects our emergence as a regional health care provider with a coverage area that extends beyond Long Island,” Northwell Health board of trustees Chair Mark L. Claster said in a press release. Administrators from Huntington Hospital said they see the name change as a positive step forward. “There’s a general excitement

in the hospital over it,” said Susan Knoepffler, chief nursing officer and vice president of nursing at Huntington Hospital. “It has given us a new opportunity to put our hospital and the health system out there to the public.” Knoepffler said the name change helps bring a focus to the preventative side of medicine and overall wellness that the hospital aims for. Gerard X. Brogan, executive director of Huntington Hospital, echoed Knoepffler’s sentiment. “It serves to sum up what our mission is,” he said in a phone interview. “We are focusing

on how to promote wellness throughout the community. It’s really something we feel is the core of our mission as a community hospital.” Reflecting on the history of Huntington Hospital, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, Brogan said the objective of this hospital has always been to provide medical care for the public and commit to helping people stay well. ‘The focus is to provide the community with the best health care right in their own backyard, and this will help make the community aware of the tremendous resources they have access to,” Brogan said.

who are interested in history.” Johnson saw a 20 percent increase in membership in her first year alone, bringing the society’s total membership to more than 400. She maintained that number during the rest of her five-year tenure. The group also has a new website. The outgoing director was adamant that she accomplished nothing on her own. “I’m not going to take credit for anything that’s happened around here,” Johnson said. “It really is a team. What we have is people who are really dedicated and who really love Northport, and are very interested in the historical society, or history in general.” During her time, Johnson was responsible for scheduling programs and exhibits for the museum, recruiting members and creating events. Some of her favorites that she mentioned were a Civil War cooking class and an educational and social tour of Northport Harbor. “My mantra has been to educate and to entertain,” Johnson said. “When you can put those two things together, it’s a beautiful thing.” King was not as dismissive of Johnson’s impact and accomplishments as she was.

“I don’t think that there’s any way to replace personality traits that Heather has,” King said. “We hope to settle on a final candidate who has some of what Heather has brought to us, but perhaps a different set of capabilities that will enhance our mission in the future.” Johnson shared an emailed letter from a community member that she received when

news of her imminent departure got out. The sender preferred to remain anonymous. “We have learnt a lot about the village, its history and its people — and always in a welcoming and congenial setting,” the email reads. Johnson plans to maintain a relationship with the historical society as a member of the fundraising committee and

their gallery committee. She also insists that she’s not leaving the community that has become such a large part of her life, mainly due to the close bond she feels. “This village, and Northport in general, they just really know how to come together for each other,” she said. “I plan to eat, play and shop in Northport for the rest of my life. It’s just a really, really incredible place.”

In wake of Zika news, H’ton stays on alert By ViCToria EsPinoza

Huntington Hospital is taking preventative steps to ensure its patients know how to combat the Zika virus. The World Health Organization declared the Zika virus a “public health emergency of international concern” this week, just days after three Long Island patients tested positive for the virus. The Centers for Disease Control issued a travel alert for anyone going to regions including South America and Latin America, and Huntington Hospital officials said they were making sure to educate their patients about the symptoms and steps to take if diagnosed with the viral infection that is being spread through mosquitoes. Denise Naval, director of infection, prevention and control at Huntington Hospital, said that while there is currently no treatment for the virus, there are several precautions a person can take to fight off the mosquito-related Zika. Naval said the virus is closely related to Yellow Fever, the West Nile Virus and the Dengue virus, which are all also spread through mosquito bites. She said the Zika virus is spread from the Aedes mosquito, specifically.

The zika virus is carried by a specific type of mosquito.

There are two types of Aedes species, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, but only the former currently carries Zika with it and it is not native to Long Island, she said. It’s most common in tropical areas of the world. The latter does not currently carry the virus and is found

in certain parts of the United States, including Long Island, she said. Naval also said Zika can not only be transmitted from a mosquito to a human, but also vice versa — from a human to a mosquito. “Only 20 percent of people will get

symptoms,” Naval said in a phone interview. “Eighty percent of people infected won’t even know they are.” According to the CDC, symptoms from the Zika virus include a fever, rash, joint pain, headaches and more. Once infected, the CDC says patients must get rest, drink fluids to prevent dehydration, and take medicine such as acetaminophen to relieve fever and pain. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced that the New York State Department of Health, in conjunction with the CDC, would offer free blood test screenings for individuals who have traveled to areas where the Zika virus is going on. “We’re working closely with the CDC and local health departments to address potential cases of Zika Virus, and by offering free testing we are helping to stay ahead of this disease and protect the public health,” Cuomo said in a press release. Naval said if anyone must travel to the tropic regions, where Zika is a problem, there are some key precautions they can take. “Make sure to use bug spray with DEET; stay indoors with air conditioning if you can because insects prefer heat; and wear long sleeves and long pants,” she said.

Car crashes kill two by eLana GLowatz

Two men were killed and one was seriously injured in the early hours of Tuesday morning, after police say one of them lost control of his car and slammed into a tree. The Suffolk County Police Department said 26-year-old Hauppauge resident Leland Acampora crashed the Hyundai Sonata at about 4:30 a.m. while heading west on Fort Salonga Road near Makamah Road. Both he and 26-year-old Commack resident Woody Zalman, who had been sitting in the back seat, were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. However, front seat passenger Paul Weingart, a 26-year-old from East Northport, was in serious condition at Stony Brook University Hospital, after being airlifted there by police helicopter. Police impounded the Hyundai for a safety check. Detectives from the SCPD’s 2nd Squad are investigating the singlecar crash. Ambulance saves pedestrian Emergency medical workers rushed

on Tuesday to rescue a young man who had been hit by a car just feet from their station. The Huntington Community First Aid Squad said an “agitated young man” in front of its Huntington Station headquarters got the attention of the on-duty dispatcher at about 3:45 p.m. and pointed to the nearby intersection of Railroad Street and Lowndes Avenue. At that point several members could see another person lying motionless in the street, and the squad dispatched an ambulance and a first-responder vehicle to the intersection. The crew found an unconscious and unresponsive male around 18 years old who had been hit by a vehicle while trying to cross the street, the HCFAS said in a statement. “The crew members quickly immobilized the victim and performed a trauma examination.” After being moved to the ambulance, the victim regained consciousness, the HCFAS said, and could communicate with the EMTs. The victim was transported to Huntington Hospital.

34-year Huntington Town Clerk has put focus on preserving local history BY VICTORIA ESPINOZA

There has been a steady hand at the helm of Huntington Town Hall for the past 30 plus years. Jo-Ann Raia, Huntington Town clerk, was elected for the first time in 1981, and ever since then, she has not stopped bringing positive improvements to the town. Raia has been a Huntington resident since 1958, but spent summers on the Island as child. She has worked under five supervisors and has served as secretary to the town board and board of trustees, among many other duties. She has devoted much of her time in office to creating a state of the art facility for Huntington’s archives, and a successful records management program. Raia said when town government moved into what is now Town Hall, in 1979, the archives were being stored in the old gymnasium, as the building used Huntington archives, Raia herself beto be a high school. came well-versed in the topic, and has “I was told that these were my records, since spoke at conferences and panels on as I am the legal historian for Hunting- records management. ton,” she said in a phone interview. “I “We were the pioneers, and now went to as many seminars as I could [on [Huntington archives] runs like clockrecord keeping], I lobbied work,” she said. the state for funding and Raia particularly Some of the items in the received state grants.” archives that stand out to She said the road was enjoys the marriage Raia are the Revolutionnot easy to get a proper marathon she ary War claims, the manuarchive system in place, mission of slaves and the performs every as she had to convince Duke’s Laws. many people to give her Valentine’s Day.

ZIKA Continued from page A5

Aside from a warning for all travelers to avoid these tropic areas, there is also an extra precaution for pregnant women, as there is an added risk for a child whose mother has the Zika virus while pregnant. The baby can be born with microcephaly, a neurodevelopmental disorder

where a baby is born with a smaller head than usual, or other neurological and autoimmune complications, officials said. According to the WHO, in countries like Brazil there has been an increasing body of evidence about the link between Zika virus and microcephaly. This specific brain disorder is linked to seizures, developmental delays in speech and walking, intellectual disabilities, feeding and vision problems, and more, according to the CDC.

Above, Jo-Ann Raia holds a map from the 1880s in the archives. Left, Raia displays one of the many old town records. Below, Raia officiates at the annual Valentine’s Day marriage marathon.

The Duke’s Laws, published in 1665, covered all the laws of colonial life, like no traveling on Sunday. Raia said Huntington is one of the few local governments to still have an original copy of them. Aside from her many other duties as town clerk, Raia particularly enjoys the marriage marathon she performs every Valentine’s Day, where she marries multiple couples in a row throughout a day’s time. In 1989, Raia was appointed marriage officer, and starting in 1995, decided to create a special event as marriage officer. “I wanted to make it something spe-

cial, so I researched other ceremonies, and found a special poem that I now recite that has sort of become my trademark,” she said. The event has blossomed over the years, with merchants from all over town donating baked goods, flowers and gifts for the event. Raia personally donates all the paper goods and decorations. Raia has presided over large and small ceremonies, and has even seen a ceremonial pick and axe procession performed by a local fire department. “I never know what I’m going to see,” she said.

OPINION EDITORIAL

New drug initiative long overdue The Suffolk County Police Department announced it will be cracking down on the movement of drugs through our neighborhoods. Given the consistent rise in opioid addiction and overdoses across the county, as well as drug-related crime, we say an initiative like this is long overdue. Over the past several weeks, investigators have executed nine search warrants and seized about $300,000 in cash; 2,672 grams of cocaine, 464 grams of heroin and 80 grams of oxycodone; seven guns; and drug paraphernalia. While we applaud the police department for its efforts, more could have been accomplished if cops used their resources to crack down on these problem areas much sooner. Police said their new initiative to target houses of known drug activity is, in part, fueled by resident complaints. Maybe they couldn’t hear as well as we could, but residents have always been complaining and reporting about this issue — not just recently. The Special Operations Team detectives who are now being utilized in each precinct to work with residents to obtain information on who is dealing what and where — and to execute search warrants on these locations and make arrests — will cost money. That money is well worth it. While the police department has used a limited budget as an excuse for why actions like these sometimes can’t be taken, if Suffolk County wants to bust up drug activity, police resources should be made a bigger priority. One would be hard-pressed to find a resident who disagrees. For now though, we are pleased to see the police department being responsive to community concerns about known problem drug locations.

Help the homeless TO THE EDITOR: Homelessness is a reality faced by thousands of people across our nation and right here on Long Island. Last year, nearly 600,000 people were homeless in the United States, with more than 80,000 in New York state and in excess of 3,800 in Suffolk and Nassau counties. Access to shelter and food is critical for the homeless, but another key necessity is often times overlooked; basic personal care/hygiene products. These items are vital to a person’s everyday life, well-being and self-dignity, but accessing toiletries

can be a tremendous hardship due to high costs and other pressing needs. Items as simple as soap or a toothbrush can help lift spirits and improve health and self-esteem of those facing homelessness. With that in mind, I have partnered with Kehillath Shalom Synagogue in Cold Spring Harbor for a special Valentine’s Day personal care product drive to support homeless women on Long Island. The 5,000 Purse Project will run through Feb. 10. Gently used purses and personal care items can be dropped off at my office, located at 15 Park Circle, Suite 209, Centerport. Some ideas for supplies include:

shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, soap/body wash, combs/brushes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, razors, shaving cream, lotion, lip balm, female personal care items, Q-tips, Band-Aids, phone cards, antacids, hair ties, nail files, mirrors, tissues, whistles, gloves and socks. Please join me in this effort. The packages will be distributed at The Interfaith Nutrition Network, known as The INN, and an abused women’s shelter in Suffolk County on Feb. 14. For more information, call my office at 631-854-4500. Dr. William Spencer Suffolk County Legislator 18th Legislative District

Learning lessons from the midterm exams

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

idterms are nothing short of a mental battlefield. Our sleepdeprived children step out of the house, their hoodies raised over their ears like helmets, covering hair they didn’t have time to comb while also keeping inside their overburdened heads the Latin words for “seize the day.”

They clutch their swords — their No. 2 pencils and erasable pens; and grasp their tiny shields — the one-page sheets filled with the equations for photosynthesis and the description of the domain Archaea. When the kids arrive at school, they don’t look left and right because they don’t have much time to chat with friends, avoid enemies or wonder what fashion statement the popular students are making. They are bracing for battle and they have to climb the mountain in front of them without allowing too many mistakes to slow them down. We adults have been through these moments before, just as we have had shots, skinned our knees and struck out in a big game. And yet watching our kids go through all these challenges brings a whole new level of anxiety, butterflies and, like Pandora’s box, rays of hope. Might this be the time when

they succeed just as they feel they are about to succumb? Could this be just the confidence boost they need to help them relax and attack these tests with the equivalent of the light side of the force on future tests? While the kids write about epiphanies, rarely, as those of us who have gone through this know, do they happen in the middle of an exam. Sure, there might be a moment when they say, “Oh, right, of course, I know this. The answer is ‘0’ because it can’t be anything else.” But more often, even if they figure that one out, they still have another six pages of mysterious questions, such as “What king believed in absolutism?” [Louis XIV of France]; and how did Dante know what my world would be like on test day when he wrote “The Divine Comedy”? There are all kinds of lessons that await them, some of which apply to the material itself,

while others relate to the best test-taking strategy. I recall a test many years ago in which the teacher urged everyone to read all the instructions first before starting. Few of the students did that because they didn’t want to lose time and because any sound outside their heads competed with the pneumonics they were repeating inside their brains like lines in a play. As the tests arrive on their desks, their legs might start shaking involuntarily, trying to get their minds moving, the way Olympic runners take short, quick jogs before crouching down in the starting blocks. They go through whatever lucky rituals they might have, thinking about the words of a friend or relative, taking a few deep breaths or looking up at the clock, knowing that — one way or another — the hands that slowly circumnavigate those 12 numbers all day, every day,

his week is bracketed on both ends by a “Super Bowl,” the real one coming up in Santa Clara, Calif., between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers and the one we just witnessed in Iowa. The NFL game is a lot easier to understand, what with there being only two opponents and a final victory. The Iowa contest, despite tons of publicity and seemingly endless buildup, is only the first polling in

what remains a nine-month marathon to elect the next president of the United States. In fact, the politicking and the campaigning have been going on for the better part of a year already. Never mind the arguments over whether baseball or football is the national pastime. Based on airtime, print and social media, the answer to the question of which is the most popular spectator sport is clearly politics. It’s the only game that goes on for two years. Politics also has its own way of scoring that defies logic. The results for the three main GOP contenders were Ted Cruz, 28 percent; Donald Trump, 24 percent; and third-placed Marco Rubio, 23 percent. Now if four points won a football game, we would call it a close game. So Cruz is the acknowledged winner at only a quarter of the total, and Trump is only a little behind. Yet everyone talks of Trump’s poor showing — except him. And Rubio is somehow congratulated for coming in even a whisker behind Trump.

This is a game where absolute numbers don’t seem to count; it’s a contest of expectations. Better the pols should set themselves up the way they do on the stock market: Put out poor expectations of future earnings and when your results rise above that lowly level, the value of the stock goes up. But we always knew the guys on Wall Street were smarter than the presidential aspirants. That’s why the politicians hate the market makers so much. Anyway, back to the Iowa caucus. Besides being the first in the country, how important is it in history? The answer is tepid at best. In contested caucuses, where there was no sitting president running for re-election, Iowa Dems chose the eventual presidential nominee five out of eight times, according to the Des Moines Register. And twice that winner has gone on to become president: Barack Obama and, before him, Jimmy Carter — with a miniscule number of voters who showed up at the polls. In 1992,

by the way, Bill Clinton finished fourth with only 3 percent of the caucus vote, and we all know what happened after that. Iowa Republicans in contested elections chose the eventual nominee three out of six times. Twice that winner went on to the presidency: Gerald Ford and George W. Bush. In 1980, father George H. W. Bush beat Ronald Reagan in the Iowa caucus but Reagan went on to represent the GOP and then won the national election. In 1988 Bob Dole beat George H. W. Bush in Iowa but Bush went on to triumph, no thanks to Iowa. Maybe they would be better off if candidates hoped to lose Iowa. As to the Dems, Hillary Clinton beat out Bernie Sanders in a contest so close that different groups were flipping a coin to decide which candidate their representatives would support. Yes Clinton won, like a runner who wins a race by a fraction of a second, but her enthusiasm was nothing compared to that

Maybe they chuckle to themselves at the higher dose of perfume than normal from the girl to their right or the stronger scent of Axe deodorant from the boy to their left. Maybe these other students didn’t take showers that morning because they got up too late or because they sat on the edge of their beds cramming through those last few facts. Few of them will emerge from the battle completely unscathed. Hopefully, next time around, they’ll remember their earlier wounds and will learn how to avoid making the same mistakes. That, in any context, constitutes progress.

Better to leave this discussion of politics and talk about something noncontroversial that happened this week. In fact it probably is the biggest story of the week: the weather. Maybe we have El Niño to thank, but any time I can walk the dog in February wearing light clothes — on me, not him — I consider myself wonderfully lucky. I’m not going to go on about this because I don’t want to run the risk of hexing us, but I’ll take a winter where the temperature bounces around in the 40s and even flirts with 60s on a few days, and the blizzard comes on Saturday and Sunday. I’ll consider us in the Northeast the real winners this week.

Quick start helps Tigers take down Lindenhurst Northport . . . . . . . . . 55 Lindenhurst . . . . . . . 41 By Joe Galotti

After suffering its first loss of the season on Saturday, the Northport boys’ basketball team wasted little time in getting back to its winning ways. On Tuesday night, the Tigers jumped out to an early 17-2 lead on visiting Lindenhurst, and never looked back, as they came away with a 55-41 victory. The win improved the Tigers’ record to 15-1 on the year, and clinched a League II regular season championship for the program. While Northport’s players realize they have plenty of work ahead of them still this winter, the achievement was certainly not lost on the club. “This is a really great accomplishment for us, because we play in probably the best league on Long Island,” Northport senior guard Brennan Whelan said. Northport senior guard Sean O’Shea echoed his teammate’s sentiment. “This is huge for us,” O’Shea said. “It’s great knowing that we’ll have a banner up on the wall, and that it will hang there forever.”

T

he Huntington girls’ basketball team traveled to West Islip Tuesday and topped its competition.

O’Shea finished with a game-high 15 points in his team’s win over the Bulldogs, while Whelan dished out 10 assists. The club also got nine points apiece from junior guard Kevin Cryer-Hassett and senior guard Rory Schynder. In total, 11 different players scored for the Tigers in the contest. Ball movement has been a key for Northport all season long, and on Tuesday the team’s passing and court vision was once again on point. “We’re an unselfish team by nature, and we also work a lot on passing,” Northport’s head coach Andrew D’Eloia said. “Our guys really do understand that if they move the ball, they get an open shot, and they enjoy playing that way.” Northport’s veteran group seems to have fully bought into this philosophy. “We’ve all been playing with each other for a couple of years now, and we always look to make the extra pass, because that’s what makes our offense work so well,” Whelan said. The Tigers also put together a strong night on their own end of the court, giving up just four points in the opening quarter and 12 points in the first half. This allowed Northport to take a commanding 22-point advantage into halftime, and give rest to its starters down

the stretch. Senior forward Lukas Jarrett was a major catalyst on the defensive end, registering five blocks on the night. “Our defense started everything tonight,” D’Eloia said. “We just really committed to helping each other, and trying to stay in front of them. We made them take tough shots, and that helped generate our offense early on.” Lindenhurst outscored the Tigers 2921 in the game’s final 16 minutes, but was never able to draw within single-digits again. Manny Oyakhilome led the Bulldogs with 14 points in a losing effort. With a league title now in hand, Northport looks to have a strong finish

to what has been a memorable regular season campaign to this point. “We definitely want to go undefeated [in league play],” O’Shea said. “But we also know that we have to take it one game at a time.” The Tigers, now 10-0 in League II, will next travel to face off against Walt Whitman on Friday, Feb. 5, at 6:30 p.m. The Wildcats have struggled of late, but D’Eloia is not overlooking the league rival. “They’re a very well coached and disciplined team, and they would like nothing more than to knock us off,” D’Eloia said. “So we’re going to prepare for that game the same way we’ve prepared for all the other games.”
