116 LIRR parking spaces reopened By roHma aBBaS

Huntington Town this week reopened more than half of the 228 parking spaces at the Huntington Long Island Rail Road station’s south parking garage it closed off earlier this year. The town reopened 116 spaces on the fourth level of the garage on Tuesday, according to town spokesman A.J. Carter. A town statement Monday announced that the spaces would be reopened on Wednesday, but Carter said on Wednesday morning that they were reopened one day ahead of schedule. The spaces were closed as part of an emergency repair

project on the fifth level, where there are still currently 112 spaces out of commission. Parking stalls on the fourth level were closed off “as a safety precaution” because they were located directly underneath work that included removing parking deck concrete in certain areas, repairing cables and structural reinforcement, according to the town. “The project has reached a stage where the remaining work no longer presents a potential falling-debris hazard to persons and vehicles on the fourth level, allowing for the spaces to reopen,” the town said in a statement. Spaces on the fifth level are scheduled to reopen on April 20.

Northport-East Northport finalizes proposed ‘15-’16 spending plan By Rohma aBBas

There will be no funding for the Northport-East Northport school district’s visual arts chairperson in next year’s proposed $159.6 million spending plan, despite pleas from students and parents to protect a position they claim is key to student arts success. The majority of school board members backed Interim Superintendent Thomas Caramore’s recommendation to nix funding for the position, currently held by Julia Lang-Shapiro, and to have both the music and visual art departments managed by music chairperson Izzet Mergen — a structure that exists at other school districts, Caramore has said. The board voted to finalize the budget at a special meeting on Wednesday night, where members of the public once again tried to persuade board members to keep Lang-Shapiro’s position intact, or to at least hold off on making a decision until new Superintendent Robert Banzer joined the district next year. But some members said they were not interested in “kicking the can” down the road, and a majority of the board felt that the arts department would weather the change unscathed. “What I hear again and again and again is a fear,” trustee Lori McCue said. “A fear that by making this change the program won’t be the same for the students.” McCue said that she isn’t in favor of adding the position back into the budget “because I think we can do better than that.” Instead, the district needs to make the transition smooth and to ensure arts students continue to get great opportunities. “I think as a board and a community, we can do this, and I’m willing to try it,” McCue said. For trustee David Badanes, the decision to back Caramore came down to logic. He reasoned that other chairpersons at the district manage departments of 30 to 40 teachers, while the visual arts chairperson oversees a department of 14 teachers. Combining arts and music teachers would bring the merged department up to 41 teachers, a more reasonable number to warrant a chairperson, he said. “Also, it is the teachers and their excellence that gives children opportunities, and I do not believe that our art department, nor our music department, will suffer in any other way,” Badanes said. “So

it’s not about the money for me, it’s cap. The district will receive more about clear logic.” President Julia Binger noted state aid than it had anticipated — that as the board’s trustees, they to the tune of about $800,000 in are entrusted with taxpayer mon- additional funds, Caramore said. ey and from a financial stand- The district will use that money, in part, to spare its reserves — offipoint, “It’s the right decision.” Those on the other side of the cials had planned to use $506,000 issue don’t quite see it that way. from reserves to reduce the tax Trustee Stephen Waldenburg Jr., levy, but will now substitute that the lone board member to oppose sum with state aid.

DOT taps public to drive study Members of the public will get to weigh in on the future of the Sagtikos-Sunken Meadow Parkway at two New York State Department of Transportation informational meetings next week. The state department is seeking input for a Sagtikos State Parkway/ Sunken Meadow Parkway Operational Study. The goal of the study is to “examine how the roadway functions, identify causes of traffic congestion and accidents and determine how the corridor will function in the future.” According to the DOT, an average of 90,000 vehicles per day use the Sagtikos-Sunken Meadow State Parkway. Residents, businesses, and all interested groups are encouraged to attend and provide input regarding the Sagtikos-Sunken Meadow Parkway Study within the towns of Islip, Babylon, Smithtown and Huntington, the department said in a statement. The meetings will take place on Tuesday, April 14 and Thursday, April 16, 2015. The April 14 meeting is being held at Deer Park High School, 1 Falcon Place, Deer Park, between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. The April 16 meeting is being held at William T. Rogers Middle School, 97 Old Dock Road,

Kings Park, between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Study-area maps, traffic and accident data, and other related information will be on hand for review. State engineers and representatives will be available to answer questions and receive comments on this operational study. “Input and suggestions from the local community are strongly encouraged,” according to a DOT statement. — ROHMA ABBAS

Northport-East Northport appoints new super Robert Banzer is hired at a $220K salary, to start July 1 By Rohma aBBas

It’s official — Robert Banzer is Northport-East Northport school district’s next superintendent. The school board approved Banzer’s appointment and contract at a meeting on April 1. The superintendent, who is currently the human resources director at the Wayne Central School District located outside Rochester, will take over Northport-East Northport’s reigns on July 1. His three-year contract ends on June 30, 2018. Banzer’s annual base salary is $220,000, according to his contract. The board would meet each May to discuss an appropriate increase to Banzer’s salary. Should he remain in office as of June 30, 2019, his base wages would increase by $6,000. He will also be getting three days of paid transition leave “to facilitate

his relocation to Long Island,” effective July 1, 2015. Banzer will be required to contribute 25 percent of current health insurance premiums on whatever plan he chooses, according to the contract. A Northport-East Northport native, Banzer graduated from Northport High School in 1984. He was tapped from a pool of 28 candidates who applied for the position formerly held by Marylou McDermott, who resigned in January to take care of her ailing mother. Since then, Thomas Caramore has been the district’s interim superintendent. Banzer was selected by a group of school administrators who served as consultants to the board and aided them in the search for a new superintendent. In an interview last month, Antoinette Blanck, the president of the United Teachers of Northport union, said she and the union were pleased with

Banzer’s pending appointment. “I feel confident that we will be able to have a good working relationship, and that we can collaborate to bring about more positivity and improvements to our district and make Northport what it really can be,” she said. “And I think he’ll be able to do that.” The newly appointed superintendent holds a master’s degree from SUNY Albany, with a concentration in social studies teaching, and a bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College, with a concentration in economics. His administrative career includes six years as assistant superintendent for instruction, almost three years as a middle school principal and three years as an assistant principal, all within the Brockport Central School District. Banzer was a classroom teacher in three school districts since the beginning of his career in education in 1990 and has also served as a football and baseball coach.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) Does Not Need to Disrupt Your Life Almost one in every four women in the United States have some sort of pelvic floor disorder such as pelvic organ prolapse, and more women are likely to be affected as the population ages. Jennifer Hill, MD, a urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, part of North Shore-LIJ Health System, discusses what you need to know about this condition.

What are the risk factors? Risk factors for POP include difficult deliveries, a family history of POP, obesity, advancing age, a prior hysterectomy and conditions that chronically increase intra-abdominal pressure such as asthma, chronic cough or constipation. What is pelvic organ prolapse (POP)? Pelvic organ prolapse refers to the prolapse (drooping) of any of the pelvic floor organs such as the bladder, uterus, vagina, small bowel or rectum. These organs are said to prolapse if they descend into or outside of the vaginal canal or anus. Are there different types of POP? There are several different types of prolapse. These include: • Cystocele — a prolapse of the bladder into the vagina, the most common condition • Uterine prolapse — a prolapse of the uterus into the vaginal canal • Vaginal vault prolapse — prolapse of the vagina • Enterocele — small bowel prolapse • Rectocele — rectum prolapse

What are the symptoms? Many women do not have symptoms and do not require treatment. However, urinary and bowel urgency and frequency, vaginal bulging, and pelvic pain and pressure are all common symptoms of prolapse that may be very bothersome to the patient. What treatments are available? Many women with POP can manage their symptoms conservatively with pelvic floor exercises to tighten and strengthen the pelvic floor, high-fiber diets to prevent constipation, reaching and maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding activities that stress the pelvic muscles, such as heavy lifting.

If conservative management fails, and the pain and discomfort are still present, you may want to consider having surgery for the condition. Often, more than one of these types of surgery are needed at the same time. The types of surgery available include: • Cystoscele repair — for bladder prolapse • Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) — for uterine prolapse • Rectocele repair — repair of the rectum • Enterocele repair — repair of small bowel prolapsing into the vagina • Vaginal vault repair — suspension of the vaginal vault • Closure of the vagina — for severe procidentia (all pelvic organs protruding from the vagina)

If you or a loved one has symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, call (516) 734-8500 today to make an appointment with one of our urologists in Suffolk County. For more information, visit NorthShoreLIJ.com/Smith. 115511

Police say officers arrested a Centerport woman who was driving drunk with her daughter in the car last Thursday. According to the Suffolk County Police Department, the 2nd Precinct officers were responding at about 6 p.m. on April 2 to a witness report that the driver of a 2014 Volkswagen Passat, in a parking lot on Larkfield Road in East Northport, was drunk. The officers determined that the driver, 45-year-old Jamie Wieser, was “under the inf luence of alcohol,” police said in a media release. Her 11-year-old daughter was in the car with her. Wieser was arraigned on April 3 and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child passenger 15 or younger — under Leandra’s Law — endangering the welfare of a child and driving while intoxicated. A temporary order of protection was issued against her and she was held in lieu of posting either $10,000 in cash

Centerport resident Marge Acosta said she feels students are done a disservice with a half-day kindergarten program. She criticized the two-and-a-half-hour school day and said it isn’t enough time for students to learn. Acosta said it’s as difficult for teachers as it is for students, because teachers are forced to squeeze in what they can during the roughly two-hour day. “This is the time when their brains are developing and their skills are developing,” Acosta said. “This is the time to put money into their education.”

The school board said it and the district greatly value the community’s input on the matter and are appreciative of their feedback. “In an effort to fully investigate the need for full-day kindergarten, we thought it was necessary to involve our community in the process from the very beginning,” according to the statement. “This committee, which will be comprised of a variety of community residents, will present their findings to the board in the early fall.”

Comedian and dancer Peaches Rodriguez is enjoying a new level of intercontinental fame, thanks to her resemblance to French politician Marine le Pen.

Local comic, dancer goes viral in France, U.S. By Julianne CuBa

Peaches Rodriguez, a break dancing pioneer, stand-up comedian and East Northport resident who broke into stardom after her role in the 1984 film, “Beat Street,” is the unlikely doppelgänger of a well-known French politician. After a break dancing competition in Queens last month, Abdel Karim, who is a hip-hop choreographer and a friend of a friend of Rodriguez on Facebook, created a video meme of Rodriguez break dancing with the suggestion that it was actually Marine Le Pen, the popular nationalistic politician, dancing just after local elections in France. Because of its extreme absurdity, the video went viral in France, with nearly 300,000 views on Facebook. That video, along with a second video of Rodriguez and a few other break-dancers, also went viral in the United States, with more than 100,000 hits. “It’s always good to get exposure no matter how you get it,” Rodriguez said in a phone interview this week. “You can’t control something that goes viral. And you have to take it as it comes. It’s almost so random you just have to roll with it and enjoy it as it happens ... the views are continuing

to go up.” It’s as if there was a video of a Hillary Clinton look-alike break dancing after an election, Rodriguez suggested for comparison — because that’s exactly what happened, she said. In the 1980s, after moving from Connecticut to New York with the hopes of beginning a career in comedy, Rodriguez said she got into break dancing after realizing how good she actually was at that style of dance. Today, Rodriguez still does both — stand-up comedy and break dancing. But her main job is a traveling comedian in the tristate area, she said. “I break-dance part time, they have battles and events,” she said. “It’s a cool underground scene.” Rodriguez also spends her time mentoring young, novice dancers in the industry. Due to her new intercontinental fame, Rodriguez said she has a few gigs already lined up in the U.S. Rodriguez added that if Clinton wins the 2016 presidential election, she would not hesitate to dress up like the former U.S. secretary of state and bust a move or two.

Transit-oriented development is an L.I. tradition Your turn

BY Dave Kapell

One of the strategies being widely discussed as a means of revitalizing the Long Island economy is the creation of transit-oriented developments, especially in downtowns served by the Long Island Rail Road. These developments are much needed and would serve multiple purposes — increasing housing options, enhancing downtown areas and providing places to live and work with easy access to and from New York City. But they are not new to Long Island. Greenport on the North Fork was a transit-oriented development in the mid-19th century and thus underscores the potential that this long-standing tradition still offers Long a train pulls into the Stony Brook long Island Rail Road Station.

building the Fast Track would relieve the problem and generate 14,000 new jobs, $5.6 billion in additional gross regional product, and $3 billion in additional personal income by 2035, 10 years after its completion. The Long Island Rail Road remains an extraordinary resource, but it needs to be thought of again as a two-way street. We also need to think beyond the autodependent suburban model to a future where young people, who are the workforce of that future, have the option to live on Long Island or in the city and have easy transit access to jobs in either place. Greenport knows the value of transit-oriented development arguably as well as any community on Long Island, because ferry, bus and rail facilities continue to power its reputation as a walkable village where people can live, shop, be entertained and get to work without driving. If Long Island now seizes on this time-honored track to success, the concept may well become fundamental to the revitalization of the region’s economy as well. Dave Kapell, a resident of Greenport, served as mayor from 1994 to 2007. He is now a consultant to the Rauch Foundation, which publishes the Long Island Index.

Huntington First Aid Squad teaches ‘new’ CPR to Scouts

Bracco visits Book Revue

Award-winning actress and author Lorraine Bracco dropped in at Book Revue in Huntington on Tuesday, April 7, to sign copies of her new book, ‘To the Fullest: The Clean Up Your Act Plan to Lose Weight, Rejuvenate, and Be the Best You Can Be.’

Hands-only CPR came to East Northport Cub Scout Pack 005’s den meeting earlier this year. At Trinity Regional School, Huntington Community First Aid Squad Chairperson Kathy Castillo and committee members Laurie Hoffman, Israel and Rich Cortez and Carol Nucci trained 38 Cub Scouts and some of their siblings on the lifesaving procedure. Hands-only CPR has been successfully used by bystanders to give life-sustaining compressions to victims prior to EMS arrival. Handsonly CPR can be a lifesaving difference for someone who has suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. The method is easy and involves no mouth-tomouth contact — only pushing hard and fast on the chest. Hopefully, the Cub Scouts, ranging from first- to fifth-graders will never have to use it, but their preparedness could save a life. As a result of the training, the boys felt they would be even better prepared to fulfill the part of their official Cub Scout Promise that states “I promise to do my best … To help other people.” Training young people has proven so successful that 20 states now teach Hands-only CPR as part of their high school curriculum. New York stands to become the 21st state after the Senate passed legislation and Governor Cuomo (D) signed into law a measure

directing the state’s commissioner of education to come up with a CPR training curriculum. Groups like the American Heart Association pushed to make the training mandatory for all high school students, citing cases in which someone performing hands-only CPR saved lives. Supporters of the training say it can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.

Northport High School’s Tigers Team 5099, students and mentors, are excited about how far they’ve come and how far they hope to go.

Northport High School’s Tigers Team 5099, in only its second year competing in international high school robotics competitions, placed sixth in a recent robotics competition at Hofstra University. Most of the teams were from the Long Island area, but international teams from Israel, Brazil and Canada also competed. For the competition season, high school students and mentors work during a six-week period to build large, gameplaying robots that must complete a task, which changes yearly. While teams are given a standard set of parts as a foundation, they must innovate and design their own specialized modules.

State’s budget comes with new ed. regulations Education aid numbers are finally released By ErIkA kArP

Just a few hours before the New York State Legislature approved the state’s 2015-16 budget last week, which includes a number of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s education reform initiatives, school districts across the North Shore finally got to know how much aid they’ll receive next year. The state aid runs showed districts getting more than they expected, since many budgeted around a 1.7 percent increase. Earlier this year, Cuomo (D) announced state aid would only increase by $377 million — a 1.7 percent increase from this year — if his state education reforms didn’t pass the Legislature. And while not all of the initiatives passed, a few did, so the aid increased by about $1.4 billion statewide. “This is a plan that keeps spending under 2 percent, reforms New York’s education bureaucracy, implements the nation’s strongest and most comprehensive disclosure laws for public officials and makes the largest investment in the upstate economy in a generation,” Cuomo said in a statement. But not all were convinced the education initiatives would reform public schools. The Education Transformation Act of 2015 amends the teacher evaluation system, changes the time to gain tenure from three to four years and creates two designations for failing schools. The

hot-button item, though, was the teacher evaluation system. Under the act, the State Education Department will develop a new teacher evaluation system by June 30, which school districts will then have to locally negotiate and enact by Nov. 15 in order to receive their allotted aid. The system also includes a component based on students’ performance on the state’s common core-aligned tests. The evaluation system was last changed in 2013. In a phone interview last week, Middle Country Central School District Superintendent Roberta Gerold, who is also president of the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association, said she believed the change to the system was misguided, and wished elected officials would have learned that “rushing into a system that doesn’t have details attached” — as was the case in 2013 — doesn’t work. Some Assembly members said they shared Gerold’s concerns. Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) voted against the Education, Labor and Family Assistance State budget bill, which Cuomo issued on Tuesday with a message of necessity. When asked about the reforms, Englebright immediately interjected, “they are not reforms,” he said. He said he voted against the measure because it was unclear as to how it would impact students. “[It] doesn’t mean we can’t make im-

A few of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s education reforms were approved.

provements, but those improvements need to make sense,” he said. Englebright strayed from his fellow party members by voting against the bill, which he said was a difficult decision. “The people who sent me [to Albany] are the ones who I finally had to vote in accordance with,” he said. Assemblyman Andy Raia (R-East Northport) said in a press release the education measure “takes away local control and is downright insulting to principals, administrators and teachers.” While most North Shore Assembly officials voted down the education com-

expected to attend the event, including Rob Goldman, the center’s director; New York State Assemblyman Andrew Raia (R-East Northport); corporate sponsors and more. The project’s new theme song, “Shine On,” will be debuted by writer and recording artist Alan Semerdjian. Choir members from Huntington schools will be featured on the song. “It’s really bringing the community together,” Raia said in a statement. “We

need to uplift the self-confidence of our teens and this is just the perfect program to do that.” Participation in the “I Matter” project allows children to take part in a workshop environment where they share thoughts and feelings face-toface, make photographic portraits of each other and more. The project also prompts public conversation and community involvement to address social issues and drug use. Tickets for the event can be purchased and donations and sponsorships can be made at the website www.imatterproject. org/donate.html.

Over the past two years, the health system invested more than $175 million to expand cancer treatment centers throughout Long Island and New York City. Recently, North Shore-LIJ completed an $84 million expansion of the institute’s headquarters in Lake Success. It consolidated all cancer services offered by North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center in a state-of-the-art 130,000-square-foot facility, including ambulatory hematology/oncology, chemotherapy and radiation medicine, surgical oncology and brain tumor services, according to a press release. North Shore-LIJ is also building a new $34 million, 45,500-square-foot outpatient cancer center in Bay Shore and is pursuing other major expansions on Long Island and in Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island and Westchester County. “Bringing the scientists of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory together with the more than 200 academic oncologists and clinicians of the North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute will transform our ap-

ponent, Mike Fitzpatrick (R- St. James) voted yes. In a phone interview last week, Fitzpatrick said he stood by his decision. He said he believed the reforms would bring more accountability to the system, which needed to be reformed. Fitzpatrick also said the amendments take away some of the New York State United Teachers union’s power. The union referred to the changes as a disgrace and the evaluation system as a sham. “Good teachers, and they know who they are, they don’t have anything to worry about,” Fitzpatrick said. Rohma Abbas contributed reporting.

proach to cancer research and treatment throughout the New York area,” North Shore-LIJ President and CEO Michael Dowling said in a statement. Cold Spring Harbor Lab’s researchers have been studying cancer since the early 70s and have made several discoveries that have helped diagnose and treat cancer patients. In 1982, the lab was part of the discovery of the first human cancer gene. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cancer Center has been a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center since 1987 and is the only such center on Long Island, according to the statement. The lab’s research focuses on many different types of cancers: breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, cervix, ovary and skin, as well as leukemia and lymphoma, carcinoid tumors, sarcomas and more. The cancer institute is part of the 19 health centers that make up the North Shore-LIJ Health System. According to Zeidlickis, North Shore-LIJ cares for more than 16,000 new cancer cases each year and is New York State’s largest hospital system. Under the terms of the partnership, both North Shore-LIJ and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory will continue as independent organizations governed by their respective boards of trustees.

OPINION

An anti-Common Core rally in Smithtown.

EDITORIAL Put down the pitchforks

Opting students out of state standardized tests has become a hot topic, and it’s a decision that should rest in the hands of parents, not school leaders. Recently, Comsewogue School District officials had threatened to consider not administering the tests altogether if Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and the state education department did not acquiesce on a list of demands, one of which was to stop weighing student test scores so heavily in teacher and administrator evaluations. But the district clammed up on the measure after its attorney intervened. In addition, the NYSUT union, which represents teachers across the state, has called for a mass opt-out. State law comes down hard on actions like this: Any school-board members or other officials like superintendents who willfully violate state education regulations — such as by refusing to administer a required assessment — risk being removed from office by the education commissioner, and state aid could be withheld from the district. At the heart of the matter is a battle over local control of our school districts. While local officials should be consulted when it comes to shaping state education regulations and standards, there must be some degree of state standardization in education to ensure that our programs sufficiently educate kids. It’s wrong for administrators and school officials to politicize a high-emotion situation — the opt-out movement — in a way that could be detrimental to students. In a school-sponsored, massive opt-out, the ones who face the greatest risk are the students — officials may put their jobs at stake, but the kids’ entire futures could hang in the balance if the state pulls education aid from a district that heavily relies upon it, or if otherwise competent school board members and administrators are kicked out of office. Let us also pause to think about how adult behavior affects our kids. This paper has previously editorialized about how the commotion over the Common Core and state testing has negatively affected children — students see and hear their parents’ and teachers’ reactions, and many mimic that fear and anxiety when they otherwise would not have had such emotional reactions to tests and classes. At some point, we have to ask ourselves if this is the kind of behavior we want to teach our kids. Calling for change is one thing, but screaming for it is another. Let’s not play politics. Above all, let’s keep cool.

One reader says the meat, egg and dairy industries are not being honest with their products.

April fools

TO THE EDITOR: With April Fools’ Day on the mind, it appears that the meat, egg and dairy industries have been playing us for fools all year-round. Their more remarkable hoaxes include “California’s happy cows,” “Free-range chickens” and “Humane slaughter.” All lies. Less fun is the stuff they never talk about. Like the hundreds of millions of chickens crammed seven into a cage designed for

one, unable to move or spread their wings. Or their hundreds of millions of male counterparts ground up live at birth and fed to other chickens or just dumped into plastic garbage bags to suffocate slowly. Or the miserable breeding sows producing millions of piglets per year while trapped in tiny steel cages. All in the spirit of year-round April Fools’ Day, the meat industry has even developed a whole dictionary of fun terms to fool unwary consumers. Those filthy cesspools of ani-

mal waste that poison downwind neighbors with putrid odors? They call them “lagoons.” And to make sure that kids don’t confuse the pig f lesh on their plates with “Babe” or “Wilbur,” they call it “pork.” Ah, those meat industry folks are such kidders. But they won’t be fooling American consumers much longer. Anyway, happy April Fools’ Day, everyone! Sergio Tapis Setauket

Breaking ourselves down to build back up

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

very defeat, rejection, or failure can be like a drop of ice water on the back of our necks. We often can’t brush those droplets away and they seep into us, weighing us down, causing our feet to shuffle and shoulders to slump. The self-esteem bashing moments in a week, month, or year can build up, turning us into a balled-up, wet rag in the corner

of a dark room. Certainly, the sunlight and warmth of spring can dry some of that out, as the chirping of newly hatched birds, the sight of children chasing after a ball on a playground and the scent of fresh flowers can evaporate the dreaded droplets. And yet, that’s often not enough. We sometimes need more to turn ourselves into ice-water-resistant creatures who can tackle any assignment, avoid obstacles, or remain undeterred in the face of significant opposition. Where do we find this relief? Some get it from exercise, where they perspire out those metaphorical drops of ice water. As they push themselves along the pavement or across glistening fields, they generate momentum, release endorphins, and become like the Little Engine That Could, remembering that a healthy dose of believing in themselves works. Others get it from talking on

the phone, writing in a diary or a blog, escaping to the movies, diving into books, or sharing a laugh with friends they’ve known for years. What we sometimes need in our lives is a catharsis. You remember that Greek word for that moment when someone releases strong emotions, obtaining relief at the same time? We learned about this some time when we were in middle or high school. Recently, my middle school daughter received an assignment that seemed like a confusing and challenging juggling act. She finished George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” Her language arts teacher asked his students to find a song in which they saw an overlap with a theme from the book. They also had to relate that theme to their lives. When my daughter came home from her first day of these presentations, she described in detail, how two of the four presenters broke down in tears as they shared their stories. In

other classes, several students, including one of the untouchable “popular kids,” cried in front of his class as well. One of the students described his frustration with his frequent movement from one school to another as his parents’ jobs required starting over again every year or so. He looked out at the classroom, his teary eyes revealing his deep discomfort, and said he was sure no one in the room would be his friend for longer than the short time he’d be in town. He was resigned to the fact that he’d be a sad ghost someone might remember at graduation. Another student shared the challenge of dealing with an impossible relative. This person pushed away any connection to a family she used to have, slamming the door, literally and physically, on anyone from her past who dared approach her. The disillusionment her father felt was magnified in her. As my daughter thought of

What we sometimes need in our lives is a catharsis.

her assignment, her eyes welled up as well when she thought of the moment when something promising turned tragic. She had a spectacularly close connection with a young, vibrant first grade teacher whose life ended all too soon after a cancer diagnosis. Even as my daughter described her feelings, I could see the small ice droplets that landed so hard on the back of her neck in elementary school, as they found an exit through her eyes. She will always remember that loss, but the catharsis more than five years later provided some relief.

Lost art – and memories – reclaimed

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

“Woman in Gold” is based on a true story. It is also eerily similar to another true story to which I am privy. The movie, currently playing in limited release and shortly to move into local theaters, is about an octogenarian Jewish woman who struggles to reclaim paintings looted from her family by the Nazis a halfcentury earlier. Dame Helen Mirren plays Maria Altmann, an Austrian

who barely escaped with her new husband before the jaws of Nazi death clamped down on Jews and dissidents following Austria’s annexation by Germany in 1938. Ultimately, they lived out their lives in Los Angeles, but much of their extended family stayed and perished in the Holocaust. Their possessions were confiscated, including five paintings by Gustav Klimt. Those paintings, including “Portrait of Adele BlochBauer,” became Austrian icons; but for Maria Altmann, the portrait was simply of her Aunt Adele. The loss of those paintings came to symbolize the terrible loss of her immediate family, her home and her world. As the years went by, claims of looted property began to surface. In the 1990s, Maria Altmann tried to reclaim her family’s art through the early channels for such action in Austria. She encouraged the son of a friend, a young and struggling lawyer, to represent her. He is the grandson of one of Austria’s

most famous musicians, Arnold Schoenberg. He is also an American with little emotional connection to his grandfather’s country, nor Altmann’s cause, but he was initially attracted to the fight for the potential monetary windfall. Their battles with the Austrian government continued for a decade, during which they were aided by an Austrian journalist. In a similar story, my friend Alice was also born in Austria and lived with her parents and brother in Vienna until the Nazi annexation. Her father was a lawyer, and when warned by one of his clients that he was on the round-up list for the next morning, he managed to escape with his immediate family to the west. They, too, eventually arrived in America, having left all their possessions behind in their hasty flight. One of their pieces of art was an original drawing by Picasso. Alice and her brother, now the rightful heirs, determined to enter claim for their stolen art, especially the most

valuable piece by Picasso. Their claim dragged on through the courts for the better part of a decade, roughly at the same time as that of Maria Altmann although much less in the news. Remarkably, they too were joined in their struggle by an Austrian journalist, whose efforts ultimately helped make the claim successful. Like Altmann and E. Randol Schoenberg, Alice and her brother, against their will, returned to Vienna for hearings. It was an emotional journey back to the streets of their childhood for them. The film does justice to Altmann’s terrible memories with repeated cuts back in time to the growing atrocities of the late 1930s. There is another interesting parallel when the claims succeeded. In the movie, the primary Austrian antagonist asks for some sort of shared ownership from Maria Altmann. His suggestion is curtly dismissed by Mirren. As my friend Alice was handed the framed Picasso

Their possessions were confiscated, including five paintings by Gustav Klimt.

by an Austrian official, she was told sarcastically that she’d “probably just sell it for the money!” to which she replied, “And that is now none of your business.” She did not sell it, but rather gave it a position of honor in her Washington Heights apartment. It was, for her, the tiniest satisfaction from a bitterly lost world. Maria Altmann did sell the painting of Adele Bloch-Bauer to Ronald Lauder, Estée Lauder-heir and owner of the Neue Gallery of Austrian Art on 86th St. and Fifth Ave. in New York. She used the money to help Schoenberg establish his law practice and to help both family members and charities close to her heart.

Seven Tigers score as Northport improves to 3-0 Girls’ lacrosse

It’s going to be tough to stop these Tigers. The Northport girls’ lacrosse team is on a three-game winning streak after topping previously undefeated North Babylon 11-5 Monday at Veterans Park in East Northport. The Tigers came out with seven straight goals and big saves from senior goalkeeper and co-captain Kristen Brunoforte, keeping North Babylon at bay, until the team scored its first goal of the game with 16 seconds remaining in the first half. “We’re excited about the win,” Northport head coach Carol Rose said. “Any time you beat someone in your conference it’s a good thing, so we’re happy about that. We started off and executed really well in the beginning of the game, but the second half we got really sloppy, a lot of turnovers,

lis said. “Our goalkeeping was insane; our transition was good.” The team agreed it needs to work on its shooting, because despite scoring 11 goals, the team was 7-for-18 on attempts in the first half alone. But Rose does like the strengths she sees. “I thought in the beginning of the game is where they showed their strength,” she said. “They were passing and they were running the offense on their own, calling their own plays, so they executed really well in the beginning of the game. They’re fully capable of doing that the entire game, but we’re still working on that.” As long as the team can improve its shooting percentage and play a full game, Rose believes the sky is the limit for her team. The Tigers traveled to Florida today for some bonding and practice over the break, with the hopes of returning even stronger on the quest to achieve its goal. “The weather’s been really cold, so it’s hard to work on anything, so we’re looking forward to going to Florida,” she said. “The team is looking to get back to the county finals, so that’s our goal.”
