She and her husband have two daughters in the district. She created Huntington Hospital Meals during the pandemic, and her work was recognized by town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) in the TBR News Media May 2020 article, “Who local leaders are thankful for helping during pandemic.” The initiative helped deliver thousands of meals for medical professionals and staff at the hospital during the initial weeks of the pandemic and also raised more than $150,000.

Northport-East Northport district budget vote includes two propositions BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM For the 10th straight year, the NorthportEast Northport Union Free School District budget is under the tax levy. According to the district’s newsletter, the 2021-22 budget will increase by 1.13 percent and has a tax levy increase of 0.75%. The savings is due to school reorganizations, which includes the Aug. 31 closings of Bellerose Avenue and Dickinson Avenue elementary schools. Residents will also vote on two propositions. Proposition 2 is to establish a capital reserve fund not to exceed $20 million over a 10-year period. If the proposition is

approved, there will be no tax implications. Proposition 3 will be to vote on altering the transportation boundaries. If approved, students in grades 6-8 will be able to take the bus if they live within a 0.75-mile limit as opposed to the current 1-mile limit. The boundary limits for grades 9-12 will change from the current 1.5-mile limit to a new 1.0mile limit. In the race for two open trustee seats on the board of ed, four candidates are running. The candidates shared information in biographies in the district newsletter that is also found on its website.

Victoria Buscareno

Incumbent and Syosset school district special education teacher, Buscareno has

lived in the district for 46 years and has four children, three in college who graduated from the high school and one child in Northport Middle School. In addition to attending board meetings regularly, she also attends PTA evening meetings and the Drug and Alcohol Task Force meetings. She also is a member of the Ocean Avenue, NMS, NHS PTA and SEPTA and sat on the NMS subcommittee and is currently the co-chair of the Audit Committee. Buscareno said being a board member for the past three years and being an educator is an asset. “The greatest asset an individual can bring as a board member is compassion, kindness and the ability to work with others to come

to a consensus on the best possible decision,” she said. “Listening to different perspectives and allowing movement and growth is what allows a board to work together to make important decisions for all of our community.” Regarding school closings, she lists them among the most pertinent issues facing the Northport-East Northport School District. She also wants to maintain strong dialogue with the community. “We are looking to maximize our buildings’ usage while providing enhancements for our students in a cost-effective way,” she said. “Maintaining our buildings and making sure every space is well taken care of and safe for all children will always be a priority.

County parks stewardship program officially launched BY KIMBERLY BROWN DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County deputy presiding officer, Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), officially launched Tuesday the Park Stewardship Program, where community volunteers are selected to oversee local parks that do not have staff. County nature trails are in need of assistance as illegal dumping and vandalism are often discovered on the paths where local residents take their daily walks. “The responsibilities of the stewards would be to pick up trash and to notify the parks department if there is vandalism or dumping,” Hahn said. “We’ve had very high profile dumping issues, so it’s good to have eyes and ears on the ground.” The stewards are also encouraged to help with signage to assist local residents with navigating through the trails. Hahn said it is important to create more signage to help residents such as mothers with children to ensure they know how far the trail is to reach a particular scenic spot. County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) expressed his gratitude for Hahn’s program, as his involvement in preserving Long Island parks dates back to 2006 when he won support for the transfer of the 365-acre former Kings Park State Hospital property to New York State parks department. “This is very near and dear to my heart, I walk through here regularly,” he said. “This is the kind of thing that starts off small but may develop into a group where we can raise money so we can make improvements to the park.” The falling of trees throughout Long

Island trails since Hurricane Sandy in 2012 has been continuing many years later. The president of Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, David Reisfield, has taken it upon the Greenbelt organization to remove hazardous trees on trails that caused concern for residents. “This, to me, is the best thing,” he said. “We go out every Tuesday and cover

three to four miles of trail, but the more volunteers the better. I could not be happier.” According to Hahn, stewards are not expected to cut down trees but are welcomed to use clippers for branches that may cause blockages on the trails. “It’s important that people get to go out and experience this, and sometimes a candy wrapper

or a water bottle can mar that experience,” she said. “So, having stewards that are there to help pick those up is a good thing.” If community members are interested in becoming a part of the Park Stewardship Program they can visit the county’s parks website at suffolkcountyny.gov/departments/ parks and sign up online.

Kershow to plate the go-ahead run. Schnitzer later scored to give Huntington a 6-4 lead. “That was a huge hit there by Dylan,” said Blue Devil head baseball coach Billy Harris. “It seems like it’s been two years since we’ve gotten a timely hit like that, so that was a really big moment for us.” “It was really cool to be in that position and give my team the lead,” said the versatile Schnitzer, whose primary position is catcher, but was playing centerfield on this day. “We wanted to attack their bullpen as soon as possible, because the other guy [Darrigo] was cruising the whole game.” Northport head coach Sean Lynch believes his decision was the correct one despite the result. “One of our biggest strengths is our pitching depth and our bullpen,” Lynch said. “Liam was up around 90 pitches and we need him for the entire year to give us length. If we can’t count on the guys in the pen, then we’re not the team we thought we were.” “But I feel confident that the guys we brought in will bounce back. In baseball, you blow saves sometimes, and I don’t think any of us coaches feel like we should have done anything differently in that situation.”

The day before

Northport didn’t need the bullpen on Friday Night against Smithtown East as Liam Fodor was brilliant, striking out 11 Bulls batters in a 4-0 complete game masterpiece. The game was scoreless until the sixth inning when junior shortstop Ray Moreno manufactured a run with a single, advanced on a wild pitch, then a fielder’s choice and scored on a passed ball. The Tigers tacked on three more in the seventh inning, as catcher Mike Catrone and third baseman William Deriso both hit triples and scored. Huntington ran into a buzzsaw that same night as they fell to reigning Suffolk County champions Connetquot, 7-1. Thunderbird shortstop James Goff had three RBIs, and pitcher Sean Mileti held the Blue Devils offense at bay, giving up only one run on five hits in seven strong. Legendary Connetquot baseball coach Bob Ambrosini, who died this past December from COVID-19 complications, was honored before the game, which was held at Moriches Baseball Complex. Carmine Argenziano, of Deer Park, and Bill Batewell, of Sachem and Bellport, both of whom have also recently passed, were also honored.

EXCELLENCE. WE MAKE AN ISSUE OF IT EVERY WEEK.

Northport

Continued from A3 safety is essential. We must be prepared and well trained for any emergency situation.” Buscareno said the district like many others is revisiting policies to ensure they are inclusive to all students.

Warner Frey

A 50-year resident, Frey has three children in district schools. He was a coach with the Northport Youth Center Soccer from 201317 and a den leader with BSA Pack 400 East Northport from 2015-22. He’s also a team manager for Northport Cow Harbor United and from 2011-21 has served as a member of Dickinson Avenue PTA. The retired NYPD captain believes his work experience will be an asset to the board. “I served 23 years in the NYPD which taught me the value of critical thinking, diversity and problem-solving unforeseen challenges,” he said. “As a captain, I led people and formed relationships with community leaders and elected officials to achieve goals.” If elected, Frey said he aims to create “policy that strives to maximize the talents of all students through inclusion.” He also aims to work on budgets that will enhance current district programs while being affordable to taxpayers. The candidate said it may not be necessary to have as many brick-and-mortar assets currently and it’s important to reinvent building usage. “The current review of building usage is an important undertaking,” he said. “As this community evolves, we must assess ways to achieve cost savings while continuing to enhance our student programs. We must be open to new ideas and solutions to achieve cost savings while growing our curriculum.”

Carol Taylor

A resident in the district for approximately 20 years, Taylor is planning to retire as a Northport-East Northport teacher next month. Her two daughters are graduates. She was a volunteer for the district’s Steering Committee and has served on several instructional committees. In addition, she has been in leadership with the United Teachers of Northport, a New York State United Teachers delegate and a New York State Teachers Retirement System delegate. “I’m a problem-solver with an open mind,” she said. “I take little at face value. Rather, I listen and then research. I’m candid and put the needs of my students and their families first. I am unafraid of discourse and will continue to work tirelessly for our families as I have done for the 20 years I’ve worked for our wonderful district.” In addition to the two elementary schools closing, Taylor said another issue the district faces is “the reality of the LIPA lawsuit with a settlement.” She would also like to see the district hold “councils” instead of having committees. Taylor said she feels that while

committees have selfless volunteers, in the end, the decisions still rely on administration. “Perhaps a policy could be crafted to return to the prior practice to promote earnest collaboration,” Taylor said. “It is becoming increasingly challenging to provide the quality of education that the Northport community expects, given increasing costs and the 2% tax cap limiting the ability to raise local revenue.” She also said there should be a pause in excess spending with homeowners struggling to make ends meet, and with the LIPA and COVID-19 economic fallout.

Tammie Topel

A nearly 30-year resident of the NorthportEast Northport area, Topel is a special education advocate and founder/director of K.I.D.S. Plus, which provides sports programs and therapeutic recreation programs for children and young adults with developmental disabilities. Both of her children have attended schools in the district, even though her son with autism did receive a high school education outside of the district. Topel has been outspoken about the closing of the two elementary schools and she said she’s not afraid to speak up. “My beliefs are my own which I develop after listening to all sides, especially the community that placed me on the board,” she said. “I do not waiver in the face of bullying, smearing and grandstanding.” Topel has also been a Northport Rotary Club member and in 2010 was honored in the Times of Northport and East Northport as Women of the Year. She is involved in various community organizations including Drug and Alcohol Task Force member, founder/administrator of Just For Kicks Soccer Club, chairperson for the Northport Youth Soccer League, past PTA president of Norwood Avenue Elementary School, past special education chairperson for Suffolk Region PTA and past SEPTA president. Topel lists the closings of the elementary schools and the raising of the budget among the top of her concerns as well as transparency from the superintendent and BOE. She also seeks for community communications to be made part of the public record. “The board and the superintendent could be more transparent and should effectively communicate with the community, before, during and after meetings,” she said. “During public participation at a board meeting, board members should answer questions asked of them by the community.”

Voting information

The budget vote and board of education trustees election will take place Tuesday, May 18, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. There are three voting locations in the Northport school district. Those living south of the centerline of Pulaski Road vote at Fifth Avenue Elementary School; residents living north of the centerline of Pulaski Road and south of the centerline of Route 25A vote at Dickinson Avenue Elementary School; and voters who live north of the center of Route 25A vote at William J. Brosnan School.

Budgeting time to get involved

Next week, residents across Long Island will vote on what their next board of education and budgets should look like. Some districts have no unopposed runners, some have a handful of candidates vying for the same seat. We are happy to see that, although some districts within our area are having hostile debates, people have been interested in this upcoming year’s budget and the candidates running for the BOE seats. Oftentimes, parents and people in the community don’t know what’s going on until something happens — and that’s OK. Life is busy with working, raising a family and maintaining a social life — it can be hard to tune into a board meeting or flip through the pages of a proposed budget. But we’ve noticed this year that it seems a little bit different. Maybe it’s because of the COVID-19 pandemic, maybe people are more concerned than before. Whatever the reason is, we’re happy that residents are getting involved. Whether it’s voicing your opinions or concerns over a school board election, or preparing for the 2024 presidential election down the road, it’s important to exercise those rights. We have the luxury and the privilege to be a part of a democracy. People might not realize that the school board — that is “small” on the scale of things — has a huge impact on not just our children, but the community as a whole, especially regarding taxes Pay attention to these things, whether you have children in the district or not. Read the local news and pay attention to what’s going on. If you don’t agree with something, prevention is key — complaining after the fact on a social media post won’t do much when everything is already set in stone. Your vote can make a difference. School districts across our coverage areas will be holding budget votes and board of education elections Tuesday, May 18. Check your district’s website for details on times and locations, and continue visiting tbrnewsmedia.com for updates.

It’s been more than 15 months since our nation began its fight against COVID-19. We’ve prevented infections, cared for the sick, saved lives and mourned those we’ve lost. We’ve provided so much more than medicine during this time as loved ones supported from a distance. The burdens and responsibilities of the pandemic have strained organizations, families, and each of us in very personal ways. Now, as more than 2.3 million Veterans across the nation have been fully vaccinated trust and confidence in VA health care is at an all-time high. Our health care teams at Northport VA Medical Center, here on Long Island have earned that trust, working on the frontlines to provide care to those most in need. We began implementing safety measures over a year ago to protect veterans and our staff from getting sick. As part of prioritizing safety, for each appointment we’ve had to weigh the options and risks with our patients. When clinical urgency rose above the risk of COVID-19, we provided in-person care. When it did not and the risk of COVID-19 infection took priority, we offered alternatives. This was the right decision. In many cases, veterans told us they preferred postponing routine care because they did not want to risk being exposed to the virus and we worked with them to identify next steps. We successfully moved many appointments to video and telephone when that was appropriate and helped meet the needs of the patient. This has even offered unexpected benefits of convenience for veterans or additional engagement options

for family and caregivers. Unlike with inperson care, virtual options give a veteran’s support network the ability to join visits and engage with VA providers much more easily. We anticipate continuing to offer virtual visits even as we return to more inperson care. As we move forward, we are welcoming veterans back in record numbers. We are encouraging veterans to call first and talk to their health care team about coming in for routine and preventative care. These appointments, from cancer screenings to eye exams are essential to staying healthy and ultimately save lives. Here at Northport VA Medical Center, we have reached out to patients to be sure they are getting the care they need and working with them to reschedule appointments. As our community spread of COVID-19 has decreased over the past few months, many have already resumed their care, while others have begun scheduling appointments for the weeks ahead, either within the VA or when eligible, in the community. In working to coordinate care, we have found that many community providers outside of VA are also needing to reschedule previously canceled appointments or are managing abbreviated schedules, creating longer wait times than usual and often longer than within VA. We have provided more than 2.3 million veterans care in the community since the MISSION Act was implemented almost two years ago, and we are proud that so many veterans continue to choose VA, allowing us to coordinate timely, quality and patient-

focused care inside or outside our walls. I want this community to know that Northport VA Medical Center is dedicated to caring for Veterans, not just in this time of national emergency, but continuing now and into the future. While we are part of the national healthcare system, first and foremost, we are members of this vibrant community. Northport VA Medical Center employees are here day and night for those who have served our nation and call Long Island home. Recent legislation has enabled us to open up vaccination clinics to any veteran along with their spouse or caregiver, and we are pleased to be meeting new members of this community for the first time, or welcoming back those who we haven’t seen in a while. We would encourage every veteran to consider coming in and receiving their COVID-19 vaccine and enrolling in care with us. If you or a veteran in your life haven’t come in for care in a while, please check in with your provider team and consider scheduling an appointment. If you know a veteran who isn’t enrolled in VA health care and is interested in their eligibility, please direct them to https:// www.northport.va.gov/. I hope veterans and all members of the community will take the time to work with their medical provider team to get their appointments rescheduled, even if they haven’t been vaccinated yet. Our doors are open, and we look forward to seeing you soon. Antonio Sanchez Executive Director Northport VA Medical Center

MTA missed the mark with Penn Station master plan The MTA’s new $10 billion Penn Station Reconstruction Master Plan missed other critical issues that are a higher priority for commuters. The project fails to add any new track or platform capacity for Amtrak, NJ Transit, Long Island Rail Road or future Metro North Rail Road service. It does nothing to deal with periodic service disruptions due to storm and signal

problems in the East River Tunnels. These problems periodically also occur between the tunnel portals and Harold Interlocking west of Woodside Station. It does not resolve approval of a specific implementation plan with Amtrak to fix critical East River tunnel damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Any new funding would be better spent reopening the old Hilton Passageway

also known as the Gimbels Corridor — indoor connection from Penn Station to the Herald Square subway and PATH complex — along with long overdue repairs to the Portal Bridge in New Jersey, also the East River and Hudson River tunnels. Improvements supporting safety and reliability of service should come first. Larry Penner Great Neck

Opinion Anticipating the joy of seeing family in person

fter setting the American record for the longest consecutive streak of 340 days away from Earth aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Scott Kelly returned and flopped into a pool. While we all haven’t been away from Earth for any length of time, we have been living in a modified version of the normal we knew. Like Kelly, we have spoken with our close friends and family through electronic devices that beam them D. None onto a screen in front of us. of the above We have watched BY DANIEL DUNAIEF some of their drained faces, as they isolated themselves for a month or more, battling through the cough, fever and discomfort of COVID-19.

We have also seen our relatives at much greater than arm’s length as we celebrated landmark birthdays, the birth of new family members, and socially-distanced graduations and limited-attendance weddings. In two weeks, I am anticipating the familiar feeling of diving into a familial swimming pool. That’s when I will see family members I haven’t seen in over a year. We worked around our busy schedules not only to get vaccinated before we saw each other in real life, but also to do so long enough in advance of that meeting that our immune systems would have time to arm themselves against viral spike proteins. This is the longest period my wife and I have ever been separated from our parents. We know how fortunate we are that our parents didn’t get sick. We took nothing for granted, staying away from our parents and extended family. We might as well have been on the International Space Station, which was probably among the safest

places people have ever lived, given the limited social contact in a controlled environment 254 miles from the nearest pool, family member or pizza restaurant. We feel so much closer to a more familiar life than we have in over a year, as we anticipate seeing our parents and family members who can attend our son’s graduation. The planned visit has become a dominant and daily topic of conversation in our house. We are wondering what food and drink to serve, how to move everyone from nearby hotels to socially-distanced seating at graduation and what games to prepare in our backyard for our grown children to play with their cousins. These questions and decisions might have seemed like a responsibility prior to the pandemic, as hosting anyone requires attention to detail and consideration for our guests. That responsibility has transformed into the kind of privilege we might have taken for granted in other years, before the pandemic disrupted family gatherings and turned the calendar into a reminder of delayed gratification of family gatherings.

While we will likely engage in the Texas two-step, trying to gauge how close we can get physically to each other, it’s easy to imagine that hugs, kisses and appreciative smiles will bubble up from the excitement of a backyard that has hosted more routine gatherings of birds, squirrels and chipmunks than of the people who stare at flickering screens in our home. As we prepare to dive into our own family pools of support, affection and love, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who made such a return to normal possible, from those who explored the basic science that led to the vaccine, to those who developed and tested the vaccine, to those who treated family and friends, to those who stocked the shelves with the food and drinks we needed to take us from the uncertainty of the pandemic to the anticipation of a celebration. Absence made our hearts grow fonder for family and increased our appreciation for everyone who allowed us to reunite with the most important pieces of ourselves. In just a few weeks, we look forward to diving into a more familiar world.

we drive the back-way routes. The waves at the beaches are calm now, climbing the sand with rhythmic whispers, and the seagulls fly low, looking for a fish dinner in the clear blue water. Too soon, there will be motor boats and jet skis on the harbors and lawn mowers and leaf blowers keeping the landscape orderly — but not yet. The magic and peace of early spring are still, however briefly, with us to be treasured. The smells at the beach of salt in the air and blossom-scent on the breezes are intoxicating harbingers of the season. Lilacs, that always know when it is Mother’s Day, perfume the neighborhood. And among us humans, there are always those early-bird few who fire up the grill and begin to barbeque on a sunny weekend afternoon. If we play our cards right, we might be invited to share in this primitive treat. The taste is so much better than anything cooked indoors. Taste is tantalized by early fresh fruit, like locally grown strawberries, and by vegetables like baby asparagus and snow peas. Several

different kinds of dark green lettuces are also ready for dining early in the spring. As for touch, there is the sweetness of a gentle breeze, reduced on a rare spring day from a stern wind to a caress against the cheek. It carries with it the promise of a summer day and the seduction of a summer night. Add to all of that, the temperature in spring can reach a universally perfect range. Now I know some people like it hot, really hot, even up in the 90s when they can happily sweat. And some people like it cold, even freezing, during which time they can feel energized and stimulated to ski and ice skate. But all humans feel comfortable moving about in a temperature of 75 degrees. Knowing that could be found most months in San Diego almost prompted my husband and me to move there some 50 years ago. Of course, there were other things to consider, and we ultimately moved to Long Island. Not for a moment do I have any regrets. My five senses are glad we live here.

Spring: a season for all five senses

his is the time of year when our five senses go into overdrive. Let me enumerate. In no particular order of delight, I’ll start with sound. The birdsong is sometimes loud enough to provide dance music at a wedding. There are all kinds of musical bars put forth: crooning, warbling, shrieking, hooting, gurgling. There is an incredible range of notes, from high soprano and countertenor to tenor and baritone, even bass. Sometimes the birds seem to be singing in Between a chorus, other times you and me at counterpoint. If your BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF bedroom window is open, they can wake you up at first light. There can be many birds in the trees or there may just be one mockingbird

pretending to be an entire flock. The sight of the birds is as much a treat as the sounds, if you can spot them among the leaves. They can range from a nondescript small brown chick, who nonetheless utters the most melodious songs, to crimson or orangebreasted or blue-tailed or grandly multicolored varieties of different sizes and shapes that perch briefly on the porch railing or snack on the front lawn. They can seem the model of purpose as they deliver food to the open beaks of their newly hatched offspring or of patience as they sit quietly atop the eggs and wait for the next generation to appear. Speaking of sight, we go from the early purple of crocuses and joyful yellow of forsythia and daffodils to the lush pink of dogwood and cherry blossoms to the deep red of tulips and azaleas. All of that artwork is provided against a bright green backdrop of new leaves on the bushes and luxuriant attire for the tree limbs. Branches on either side of the road unite in the air overhead, creating sun-dappled tunnels as
