Dog days By Alex Petroski Huntington Town is trying a new approach to care for homeless and abused dogs. Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) announced last week the launch of Give a Dog a Dream, a not-for-profit foundation the town formed to raise money for dogs in Huntington’s municipal animal shelter. “For some time, people have asked how they can help improve the lives of dogs entrusted to our animal shelter’s care,” Petrone said in a statement. The foundation is a new “vehicle through

which residents can help provide the extras and specialized care beyond the basics [that] public funding provides.” Residents are encouraged to donate money, food, beds or other supplies. Gerald Mosca, the head of the Huntington Animal Shelter, said the town has worked to change the image of the dog refuge. “What we wanted to do when I took over in 2010 was change the perception of municipal shelters,” that they’re a place where dogs go to die, Mosca said

Five candidates fight for Northport By Victoria Espinoza Three incumbents are up for re-election on the Northport-East Northport board of education and are defending their seats against two challengers.

Shawne Albero

Shawne Albero, one of the five contenders, has been in the Northport community for the past six years and has been involved with both the Northport Middle School Parent Teacher Association and the Special Education PTA. “We need a fresh perspective to help further utilize the talents of our community,” Albero said. She said she is an advocate for providing students with more detailed report cards that give further insight into a student’s mastery of each academic subject. Albero said, if elected, she would work to bring in more state and federal aid to help provide more programs and opportunities for students.

Three sitting school board members, including the current president, are up for Allison Noonan re-election this May. Allison Noonan, Binger and Rapiejko file photo; others from candidates

Clockwise from top left: Andrew Rapiejko, Allison Noonan, Lori McCue, Shawne Albero and Julia Binger

a social studies teacher in Syosset school district, is another resident making her first run at a seat. She is involved in the PTA and SEPTA, and believes her newcomer status is exactly why she is the right choice for the job.

“I am not a part of the board that supported a failed administrator,” Noonan said of former NorthportEast Northport Superintendent Marylou McDermott. She said under McDermott’s tenure, district facilities, like the athletic fields, bathrooms and classrooms, fell into disrepair, and she would work to fix those problems.

Julia Binger

One of the incumbents, Julia Binger, is seeking her third term, after first winning her seat in July 2010. She has previously served on the board’s audit committee and as its president. She said among her proudest accomplishments on the board is recruiting the school’s new superintendent, Robert Banzer. “I think we came up with a really excellent candidate that I am very pleased with,” she said. She is also proud of the budgets she has helped shape, which she said maintain a healthy funding reserve for the district.

Lori McCue

Trustee Lori McCue is also hoping for a third term on the board. She has worked with the Ocean Avenue Elementary School and Northport Middle School PTAs, and has volunteered with the Northport Relay For Life event.

McCue said she was the lead trustee on the district’s energy performance contract, which will result in $13 million in future capital improvements for the district, including upgrading fixtures to LED lighting and other improvements that will make buildings more energy efficient. McCue is also the chairperson of the audit committee and a member of the policy committee. “We have worked to have nearly every policy online in an easy format,” McCue said in a phone interview about her work on the policy committee.

Andrew Rapiejko

Current board President Andrew Rapiejko is finishing his sixth year on the board and wants to continue to serve the district. Like Binger, he is proud of his work in the search to find a new leader for the district. “Hiring the superintendent, who’s done a tremendous job this year, was a big accomplishment,” Rapiejko said in a phone interview. “Being able to sort through the applicants and choose someone who’s the right fit was a challenge.” Rapiejko said it is important for Banzer to have experienced people with him while he transitions to his second year at the helm. The current president once served as chairman of the audit committee.

Harborfields fields five candidates for school board By Victoria Espinoza

Five candidates are vying for two open seats on the Harborfields board of education.

Hansen Lee

Incumbent Hansen Lee is seeking a second term while board member Irene Gaughan is not seeking re-election. In an interview with TBR News Media, Lee said he was the best option to represent the community because he is proactive with engaging students and parents. “I haven’t missed a concert in the last eight years … and I attend at least one varsity and junior varsity sports game per team. I want to be visible, so that when I make a board decision, I have first-hand knowledge of what’s going and what the community thinks.” Lee has served the district for the past 17 years with the Harborfields Alumni and Community Educational Foundation and as a district volunteer. He said technology is an area he has worked to improve in the district. Instituting Wi-Fi, and the use of Google Chromebooks in schools are some of the accomplishments he is proud of initiating in his first term.

Chris Kelly

Chris Kelly ran for a seat last year, and this year, said he wants to help the district think more long-term. “Harborfields needs someone to go through the numbers, and I’d like to do some long-term planning,” he said in a

From left to right, Hansen Lee, Chris Kelly, Marge Acosta, Colleen Wolcott, and Joseph Savaglio are all up for election. phone interview. “I can predict variables and prepare us for years to come, and keep the district on top.” Kelly has been working in the market data business for the past 19 years, and is a self-proclaimed “numbers guy.” He has volunteered for the Harborfields Get Out the Vote committee, the Parent Teacher Association, and has worked with Fair Start: Harborfields Residents for Full-Day Kindergarten. “I get to see the glue that holds the school together,” he said.

Marge Acosta

Marge Acosta, a former primary school science teacher, threw her hat into the ring. The Centerport resident said she thinks her education experience and “insight on how children learn,” could be used to help bring in new programs to the district. Acosta said she would like to see more science, technology, engineering and math programs integrated into district curriculum.

“It is crucial for kids to have success in the future,” she said of these programs. “Obtaining a curriculum that is developmentally appropriate and effective in preparing our children for the 21st century must be our first priority.” Acosta is a member of the Harborfields full-day kindergarten committee, Fair Start and the PTA.

Colleen Wolcott

Fellow Centerport resident Colleen Wolcott also entered into the race. She has experience as a special education teacher and said she wants to “maximize opportunities for students with special needs,” bring additional electives to the high school, and develop marketing tools to improve communication and the dissemination of information between the board and the community. Wolcott is the current president of the Harborfields Special Education Parent

Teacher Association, and is a member of the district’s health and welfare committee, the Washington Drive PTA, and the Harborfields Alliance For Community Outreach. “I’ve gotten in the trenches,” she said in a phone interview. “I know the administration well and I’ve gotten to see how it all works.”

Joseph Savaglio

Rounding out the panel of candidates is Joseph Savaglio, a Long Island native who said he wants to use his experience with overseeing budgets to help control costs and improve the educational system at Harborfields. “I would like to see an expansion of curriculum in arts and languages,” he said, “as well as restore some programs we lost in special education and sports.” Savaglio has been a resident for 27 years, and working with real estate management companies, has managed properties all over the country.

Suffolk County considers $1 surcharge vote for cleaner water By Phil Corso Voters in Suffolk County could be deciding whether or not they’d like to pay more for their water to improve its quality. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) brought a big crew of environmentalists and lawmakers with him on Monday to announce his plan to address nitrogen pollution in drinking and surface water across the region by charging an additional $1 per 1,000 gallons of water. If it receives the state’s blessing, the plan could go before Suffolk County residents in a referendum vote in November. The proposal would establish a water quality protection fee, which would fund the conversion of homes from outdated septic systems to active treatment systems, the county executive said. He estimated the $1 surcharge would generate roughly $75 million in revenue each year to be solely dedicated to reducing nitrogen pollution — and still keep Suffolk County’s water rates nearly 40 percent lower than the national average. “What we have seen over the decades is a decimation of our surface waters and the latest numbers showing disturbing trends in the groundwater,” Bellone said. “Clearly, the overwhelming source of that nitrogen pollution is from us. We have 360,000 homes on old septic and cesspool systems.” Bellone said the proposal would supplement similar efforts from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who established a $383 million investment in expanding sewers in Suffolk County. The governor launched the

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone pitches the proposal. Center for Clean Water Technology at Stony Brook University and provided funding for the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan over the past several years to help create recurring revenue for clean water infrastructure. Richard Amper, executive director of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, endorsed the proposal as Suffolk County rising to the occasion. He referred to nitrogen as the chief culprit behind the county’s water pollution, with most of that coming from wastewater. “Two-thirds of it in Suffolk County is coming from 360,000 homes with 5,000-year-old technology,” he said Mon-

day. “We know what to do about it. We’ve studied it. The public is satisfied that … investment had to be made in studying it. Now it’s time for action.” Roughly 90 percent of the population in Nassau County operates under an active wastewater treatment system through connections to sewage plants. But in Suffolk County, there are more than 360,000 individual cesspools and septic systems — representing more unsewered homes than in the entire state of New Jersey — that are more likely to release nitrogen into the

ground and surface water. Marc Herbst, executive director of the Long Island Contractors’ Association, said the initiative was necessary for the future of the environment. “It is about building a wastewater treatment system that ensures the environmental integrity of our county, the underlying foundation of our economy and the value of our homes,” he said. “The Long Island Contractors’ Association supports this proposal because if we don’t take this step, we are putting our collective future at serious risk. It is as simple, and crucial, as that.” The state must authorize the proposal in order for it to make the ballot in November. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) — a known environmental activist — said the measure would do wonders for the state’s water supply. “We’re really looking at an opportunity to correct some deficiencies that could, if left uncorrected, unhinge our economy, which is based upon people bathing and recreating in our coastal waters, fishing and otherwise enjoying our waters,” he said. “For the first time, we are pulling a program together that integrates both our fresh water and saltwater in one protection initiative, and that is very significant.”

The Huntington Station LIRR train stop was the site of a shooting this past weekend.

3 shootings in one week By Elana Glowatz Huntington Station saw three shootings in the past week, leaving one man injured and a child just out of range of a bullet. On Saturday night, Huntington Station resident Jose Jurado was shot in the foot in a Long Island Rail Road commuter parking lot, and just two hours later and a few blocks down, several shots were fired toward a home on East 6th Street. At that home, two friends were standing in the driveway when bullets hit the house and a vehicle in the driveway next door, where an 8-year-old child was asleep in the back seat. In the first shooting, according to police, at about 8 p.m. 20-year-old Jurado was walking through the LIRR commuter lot off New York Avenue when another man stepped out of a vehicle, pointed a gun at him and shot him in the foot. The victim fled and got to the 7-Eleven at New York Avenue and Depot Road, where another person called 911. Police said Jurado was in stable condition

Other bullets, police said, hit a vehicle in the driveway of the house next door, where a child was asleep in the back seat. The 8-year-old was not hurt, police said. On Tuesday morning, officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation around 1:30 a.m. on that block, between Craven and West 15th streets. Five men who were standing in front of a home on the residential street reported hearing gunshots and seeing flashes of light, police said, but did not see anyone firing a gun. According to police, spent bullet casings were found at the scene. No injuries were reported.

She missed her last three months of sixth grade due to treatment. After her yearlong battle, Attardi was told she was cancer free. “It was a miracle to hear those words, and a feeling I can’t put words to,” she said. Attardi said she understood that her cancer could come back at any moment, and it’s because of this she works so hard to give back to children and people who face the same obstacle she once did. “As a cancer survivor and captain of Adelphi’s Love Your Melon campus crew, giving back is what I’m all about,” she said. Attardi said she plans on returning to Stony Brook University Hospital. “I just want to contribute the same help I was given and I know even the littlest

things, like receiving a beanie, means so much more than it would be thought.” Attardi’s commitment to her cause has impressed her peers. “I have no doubt Alexis can make a huge impact in children’s lives,” said Erica Massmann, a member of Adelphi’s Love Your Melon crew who has worked alongside Attardi in recruiting new members on campus. “Being a cancer survivor herself, Alexis knows what these children are going through. She can take her experiences with her fight with cancer and bring that into the community to help make a difference.” Attardi said she has come out of this experience a stronger person. “I’ve realized life isn’t about materialistic things,” she said. “Helping others is a task that has continued to shape me as a person.”

DOGS Continued from page A1 at Saturday’s event. “That was not what we wanted to portray, and it’s obviously not what we wanted to do.” The shelter housed nearly 80 dogs when he took over, he said, and now, many adoptions later, they’re down to seven. He credited his dedicated volunteer staff for training the dogs and preparing them to be adopted. Michael Costa, the assistant executive director of Give a Dog a Dream, stressed the importance of helping the municipal shelter not only be a “no-kill” shelter, but also to give the dogs living there a good quality of life. “You end up with a dog that sits in a kennel for four, five years,” Costa said. “In most shelters they’re only getting out for maybe 15 to 20 minutes a day if they’re lucky. They’re confined to three-foot by five-foot kennels most of that time. It’s not Photos by Alex Petroski

adequate care. It’s not adequate compassion. These dogs physically may be fine, though mentally they tend to suffer. By working within the community and pushing the way we’ve pushed to get these dogs where they need to be — in homes — we help to make sure they get the care that they really need.” To kick off the foundation, Huntington Honda hosted a special adoption event on Saturday. Members of the community passed through from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. to meet the seven dogs currently being cared for at the town shelter. “These dogs are all well prepared to go into every house,” Mosca said. “Most of these dogs are very well behaved.” Huntington Honda’s Marketing Director Jeffrey Hindla talked about the business’ commitment to be part of the community. “We can really make these dogs’ lives better,” Hindla said Saturday. “We’re super excited to be working with the Town of Huntington and I can’t wait to do more with them.” Give a Dog a Dream is planning to host more adoption events in the near future.

He is a fitness trainer to many celebrities and is known in Hollywood as the “superhero trainer”; he recently worked with Ryan Reynolds for the movie “Dead Pool.”

During Superhero Week, Saladino educated students on fitness, nutrition, and living a healthy lifestyle. Physical education teacher Joseph Toscano and health teacher Christine Parent were thrilled to bring this program to the school. Saladino shared his secret tips with the students, which includes drinking water.

Blue Devils cruise to senior day win Girls’ Track & Field

Huntington . . . . . . . . 84 West Babylon . . . . . . 62 The Huntington girls’ track and field team won its fifth straight meet without a loss on Senior Day. Huntington topped visiting West Babylon 84-62 on the strength of the team’s depth in running, throwing and jumping. “With a few players absent for various reasons and West Bab on the upswing, we knew we had our work cut out for us,” Huntington head coach Shawn Anderson said. But the girls rose to the challenge and turned in some fine results. The team recognized seniors Alexandra Koumas, Latoya Shand, Nina Cartwright, Jeannie Kopstein, Lexi Mills and Ekaterina Koulakova during a premeet ceremony. “This is a talented crew, who are versatile and great leaders on and off the field,” Anderson said. “Their value to the team, not only with points scored but with leadership, will be a tough loss for the program, but it will be exciting to see how they blossom at their respective universities.” Betty Huitt placed first in shot put with a

toss of 31’4, while Cartwright took third with a throw of 29’2. Nephar Durand had a solid personal best effort that measured 28’9.5. Cartwright, Durand and Jenna Yabroudy swept the top spots in discus. Cartwright, Mackenzie Joseph and Alexandra McKenzie took the top three in pole vault. In the high jump, Lexi Mills and Anna Gulizio both cleared 4’4 to capture the top two spots. In the triple jump, Gulizio took second with a leap of 32’10.75. Katie Seccafico notched a personal best in the event. Marina Ruzic took second in the long jump with a leap of 15’11. “She is quickly returning to her old form,” Anderson said. In the 100-meter hurdles, Koumas hit a personal best of 16.2 seconds for first place. Mardnie Mentor also hit a personal best with an 18-second completion for second place. In the 1,500, Nicole Abbondandelo and Alexis Pastorelli cruised to a 1-2 showing. In the 400 dash, Shand took third in 62.3 seconds. “It’s not her best, but we have a long way to go before the championship season starts,” Anderson said. Erika Varady and Keily Rivas took the top two spots in the 1,5000 race walk with times of 8 minutes, 28 seconds and 8:31,

In the 800, Abbondandelo dropped her best again, taking second in 2:23. Shand ran her fastest 200 of her career, in 26.4 seconds for second place. Ruzic also hit a best, crossing the finish line in 27 seconds. In the 400 hurdles, Koumas took the

top spot in 72 seconds. Lindsay Saginaw took third in 79.3. Pastorelli and Abbondandelo cruised to a 1-2 victory again, this time, in the 3,000. The 4x100 relay team of Koumas, Shand, Mills and Ruzic finished the race in their fastest time this season, earning the victory with a 51.5-second performance.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor So many bad options in presidential race Truthfully, I don’t like any of the candidates in this year’s presidential contest. It has been a very long time since I have voted “for” any presidential candidate, but this year’s crop seems to take the cake. We have Hillary Clinton criticizing Bernie Sanders because she, or so she says, believes gun manufacturers

should have to be financially liable whenever a crazy person misuses a firearm. Isn’t that like saying Ford, General Motors, Toyota, etc. should be financially liable every time a drunk gets in a car and kills someone? And what about “the Donald?” I would rather vote for Donald Duck. Now we have Bernie,

who is going to make everything “free” for everyone. Then there is Ted Cruz. Do we really want or need another West Texas politician? Doesn’t much of the news coverage make you feel like you’ve caught a bad stomach virus? But that’s just one man’s opinion — or is it? Francis G. Gibbons Sr. Terryville

Discharging homes’ wastewater into sewer systems could keep harmful substances out of our water supply.

Dive deeper into wallets for cleaner water Our water supply is pooped. Hundreds of thousands of homes in Suffolk County run on their own septic systems or cesspools, which leak nitrogen from waste into the soil and, thus, into our groundwater and other water sources. Elevated nitrogen levels are dangerous because they mess with our ecosystem — one effect is promoting algae growth, which decreases the water’s oxygen supply that fish and other creatures need to live and produces toxins and bacteria that are harmful to humans. Sewers are a more convenient and modern technology for areas with populations at least as dense as Suffolk County. But, more importantly, sewer systems are also a crucial line of defense for our drinking water and the healthy waterways we treasure. Legislators and community members complain all the time about how Suffolk needs to hook up more properties to sewer systems, but they also say there’s no money to do it. County Executive Steve Bellone’s proposal to charge an additional $1 per 1,000 gallons of water used — and to put those dollars into a special account dedicated to sewering Suffolk — could help. The funds collected would be used in conjunction with other funding, such as from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s $383 million initiative to support clean water infrastructure. To put Bellone’s proposed surcharge into perspective, that’s $1 for every 50 days of showers for a family of four, based on average water usage numbers from the U.S. Geological Survey. It’s another $1 for roughly every 333 toilet flushes. Add $1 for every 40 loads of laundry in a newer model of washing machine. For a single-person measurement, each person uses about 80-100 gallons of water each day, according to the federal agency. Those on the higher end of the spectrum, then, would be dishing out $1 every 10 days with the goal of a healthier environment — or just shy of $37 a year. Reaching deeper into taxpayers’ pockets is not ideal, but there is simply no other way to produce sewer funding of the magnitude Suffolk County needs without asking the public to chip in somehow. Bellone’s proposal needs state approval before the measure can go onto ballots in November for voters to weigh in. We hope our neighbors would support the surcharge.

America’s last stand On Election Day, this November, the United States must again choose whether to continue down the road toward liberalism or make a U-turn back to more conservative ideals. In less than eight years, U.S. President Barack Obama has increased our national debt from $9 trillion to approximately $19 trillion. He and most other liberal politicians believe that they can be “all things to all people,” but at what price? Instead of encouraging the populace to be independent, self-reliant and resourceful citizens, they have attempted to create a “nanny-state,” providing cradle-to-grave security. Americans must now ask themselves if they want the United States to become an all-powerful governmental nation, like the ones that their forefathers originally fled from. The political establishments of yesteryear have morphed from parties that provided Americans with reasonable living stan-

dards to now attempting to dictate how we live. Since Sept. 11, 2001, we have seen nearly four full presidential terms expire, with no resolution to very costly world hostilities. These conflicts have lasted four times as long as our involvement in WWII, with no end in sight, and have drained our national resolve and financial reserves. Also, with millions of American citizens out of work, our political hierarchy still continues to feel that this nation can accept millions more of the world’s impoverished people. Like an overloaded lifeboat, threatening the lives of all on board, our nation’s leaders must feel that this country’s population can expand indefinitely, without detriment. From the end of WWII, we have seen our nation’s population go from 145 million to the mind-boggling 320 million persons that it is today, with many millions of these being immigrants,

both legal and illegal. No other country takes in as many, yet our politicians still feel that it is never enough. Americans must ask themselves if they want their country to remain the “shining city on the hill” that U.S. President Ronald Reagan spoke about? Or, do we want it to be engulfed in the political and economic “swamp” that Third World nations and now Europe are experiencing? The United States did not begin its existence in harmony. It had to fight to “be born” and fight to stay alive, for nearly 250 years. Is our nation’s desire to be politically correct worth the possibility of its eventual dissolution? Our next commander-inchief must remember that they were elected to be president of the United States and not of the world and to base their decisions on how they will affect America and its inhabitants, first. Ronald Gendron Smithtown

opinion Hair dye from a beetle? Highlights from Earthstock 2016

While representatives from many nations signed the landmark Paris Agreement about greenhouse gas emissions, students, professors and guest lecturers descended on Stony Brook last week to celebrate and discuss ways of protecting the environment as a part of Earthstock. The 15th annual event, which featured activities and a celebration of student research, included a lecture from Charles Wurster, founder of the Environmental Defense Fund, who By Daniel Dunaief offered ways to persuade the public to support saving the environment. Wurster described the beginning of the EDF, which started modestly in Stony Brook with a meeting of nine environmental scientists and

one lawyer to prevent the loss of birds amid the use of the insecticide DDT. Wurster and his colleagues were “sitting around a coffee table figuring out how to take on” a wide range of groups, including the federal government, to get them to stop spraying a pesticide that was weakening the shells of raptor eggs, said Malcolm Bowman, distinguished service professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and academic co-chair of Earthstock. Bowman said one of the reasons he joined Stony Brook in 1971 was because he “could see a revolution taking place.” The university’s continued commitment to the environment was on display all week. The annual celebration included a rubber duck race down a “stony brook,” outdoor yoga at the Staller Center, and a performance by a local band called Peatmoss and the Fertilizers. Jeffrey Barnett, the interim associate dean of students and the administrative co-chair for Earthstock,

said the program helps Stony Brook “connect with the local community by taking actions and educating the next generation. The festival is a way to engage people.” John Warner, co-founder of Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry, provided the keynote speech on Friday. Warner suggested that “if we knew what we were doing, we wouldn’t have all these problems” with toxic chemicals, Bowman said. As an example, Bowman said, Warner described a beetle that sheds its skin. The chemical in that skin has remarkable dying properties and could be used in hair dye. Warner is involved in supporting green asphalt and green chemistry, said Karina Yager, a visiting assistant professor. “Hearing his passion helps reinforce how important it is to stay engaged with this sustainability framework,” Yager said. Earth science and environmental science teacher Rob Gelling, from Kings Park High School, brought 22 students to the festivities on Friday. His students “enjoyed the feed-

back from the general public that came to our table and learned about the ability to recycle,” Geller said. His students highlighted a way to repurpose Keurig K-cups into containers in which they planted seeds. Half of the germination medium came from dried and sifted coffee grinds. Back at the United Nations on Earth Day, the United States joined officials from other countries to sign the Paris agreement. “There is momentum” in fighting climate change, said Yager. “Major changes have to be implemented within the next few decades to reach that goal realistically. Some are skeptical, but at least we’re on the right pathway.” Yager said the week-long activities at Earthstock can contribute to action and awareness in the Stony Brook and Long Island communities. “I remember when Earth Day was just a day,” Yager said. Now Earthstock is a week, which includes opportunities to “meet people who share the same vision and find out new ways to get involved.”

Would you like to know what Ava Gardner had to say about her first husband, Mickey Rooney? Stay tuned. Despite having passed away two years ago, Mickey Rooney walks the stage at the Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Education and Cultural Center in Stony Brook village. That bit of otherworldly magic is thanks to the artistry of St. George Productions, whose acting company members make the famous come alive again. Rooney’s first wife was Ava By Leah S. Dunaief Gardner, and I was interested to read Gardner’s autobiography after a brief stop at her museum in Smithfield, North Carolina recently. We were driving up Route 95, returning from a visit to Hilton Head, when one of our group suggested we see the mu-

seum. It was started near her hometown with seed money left by the actress. Now, I don’t know how many of you remember her or have seen her films, but she was right up there in stardom with the likes of Rita Hayworth, Grace Kelly, Judy Garland and Elizabeth Taylor. Some of her leading men were Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Richard Burton, Robert Taylor, Burt Lancaster — and Mickey. She was a head taller than Mickey Rooney, and she met him on her first day on the MGM studio sets. He was dressed like the famous Brazilian dancer, Carmen Miranda, for his role in the movie, “Babes on Broadway,” with Judy Garland. He was two years older than Gardner and at that time, 1941, he was the most popular star in America. He had acted as Mickey McGuire, the character from the comic strip, Toonerville Trolley for seven years and then as Andy Hardy, the beloved teenager, for ten years after that. Rooney was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in 1939, and was earning $5,000 a week, plus bonuses. He knew how to act

and he also knew what he wanted. He phoned Gardner every night for the first two weeks she was in Hollywood, until he finally got her to go out with him to dinner—as long as she could bring along her older sister. Initially stunned by his shortness, Gardner describes Rooney as “charming, romantic and great fun.” She offered, “I had to say one thing for him: He sure had energy.” “He was the original laugh-aminute boy, and even the second or third time around, his stories, jokes, and gags were funny. There wasn’t a minute when he wasn’t onstage. He loved an audience, and I tried to be as good a one as I knew how.” They were engaged before her 19th birthday. They were both kids without the slightest idea of what marriage should be. Mickey woke up after their wedding night and left Ava to go off with his gang of buddies and play golf. Mickey did endear himself when they visited her ill mother, shortly after they were married. “He entertained Mama, he hugged her, he made her laugh, he brought tears to her eyes. He did his impersonations,

he did his songs and dances—it was a wonderful, wonderful occasion for Mama, who we all knew was slowly dying. Although I had loved Mickey from the start, that show he put on moved me beyond words.” His normal lifestyle, which he continued after their marriage, according to Ava, was “boozing, broads, bookmakers, golfing and hangers-on, not to mention the heavy involvement of studio work and publicity.” She was most appalled by the philandering. They divorced two years later. They stayed friends for the rest of their lives, dating from time to time after their divorce, until they both went on to other spouses. For Mickey, that was a beauty queen that he met in Birmingham, Alabama. He was married a total of eight times. According to Mearene Jordan, Gardner’s helper, who wrote a chapter at the end of the book, “Mickey Rooney was a funny little guy—she got a big kick out of him. She saw him last year and she said, “Reenie, he’s still the biggest liar in the world. Poor Mickey, he cannot tell the truth, he never could. But he’s cute.”

sports Huntington game postponed due to weather Baseball By Bill Landon With rain coming down, Centereach took to the field against Huntington and the Blue Devils stepped into the batter’s box first for a League IV baseball matchup Tuesday afternoon in Centereach. Huntington (1-11 in conference play) struck first when, on a Centereach throwing error, Brian Donnelly crossed the plate for the first run of the game. Centereach’s Victor Corsaro doubled, representing the tying run in the bottom of the inning, and teammate Kyle Cerbone ripped one through the gap to even the score with two outs. The rain grew steady though, and when the umpire behind the plate charged the infield to cover the ensuing play, he slipped and fell in deteriorating conditions. “I saw him slip the first time and he warned me about the field conditions, and I said to him ‘we’ve had this conversation before,’” Centereach head coach Mike Herrschaft said. “This field can’t take a lot of rain and you can see how it’s getting slick out there at shortstop.” Huntington managed to score another run in the top of the second to take a 2-1 lead, and the Cougars went back to work at the plate. Centereach (2-10) popped the ball up shallow in the infield and the plate umpire approached the play and fell a second time. The official was slow to get up. After a brief conference between both coaches, the umpires left Nick Corsaro in the batter’s box with his team trailing by one with two outs. “The umpire called the game because of unsafe conditions on the field,” Huntington head coach Bill Harris said. “Where the field transitions to the grass, he slipped and fell.” The game was suspended after an inning and a half, so the balance of the game will be completed at a later date. “I saw him slip the second time and he said he didn’t want to see one of the kids slip and get hurt,” Herrschaft said. “You can’t argue with that, but this is the first time I’ve known a game to be called because of unsafe conditions for the umpires. The kids are wearing spikes and the umpires are wearing sneakers.”

Herrschaft added that both teams will take the mound Friday afternoon for a scheduled matchup and then complete the suspended game for the doubleheader at home. Centereach traveled to Huntington on Wednesday for game two of the threegame series, but results of that game were not available by press time.
