Voters in the Huntington, Northport-East Northport, Harborfields and Cold Spring Harbor school districts resoundingly approved their districts’ proposed 2015-16 budgets and elected a number of newcomers to local school boards. Both Harborfields and Northport-East Northport school board races had contests this year — in Harborfields, five candidates vied for three seats, and in Northport-East Northport, a pool of seven were com-

peting for three slots. Huntington and Cold Spring Harbor had races in which trustees ran unopposed.

Huntington

Voters in the Huntington school district approved a $120.3 million budget, 1,228 votes to 301. Proposition 2, which allows the district to spend just over $1 million in capital reserve monies to pay for state-approved projects, passed 1,252 votes to 251. Four people ran unopposed for re-election or election: board President Emily Rogan received

1,193 votes, board members Xavier Palacios and Tom DiGiacomo collected 1,139 votes and 1,185 votes, respectively, and newcomer Christine Biernacki garnered 1,189 votes. Rogan, Biernacki and DiGiacomo won three-year terms. As the lowest vote getter, Palacios will serve the remaining two years on a term of former Vice President Adam Spector’s vacated seat. “We will maintain our efforts toward achieving cost savings and efficiencies, while preserving the goal of providing students across the district with a high quality education that pro-

motes an affinity for learning as well as college and career readiness in an increasingly global and technologically-driven society,” Superintendent Jim Polansky said in a statement.

Rainey, lover of motorcycles, dies in crash 27-year-old Huntington Station man remembered By BarBara Donlon

A 27-year-old Huntington Station motorcyclist was killed after colliding with a minivan on Walt Whitman Road in Huntington last Friday. Brett Rainey was riding his 2000 Yamaha north on Walt Whitman Road at about 5:30 p.m. when he struck the passenger side of a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country as the driver attempted to make a left turn into a parking lot. Lucas McAfee, an 18-year-old man from Fort Salonga, was driving the minivan. Rainey was transported to Huntington Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The driver of the minivan and three male passengers were not injured and remained at the scene, according to police. The death of Rainey has hit his family hard. His older sister Lisa Karrer said her brother was a great man who died too soon. “He was beautiful,” she said. “From the day he was born he was amazing.” Karrer described her brother as someone who was always by her side and had a great love of motorcycles. She said he got his first motorcycle at age 4 and spent

much of his life riding dirt bikes, motorcycles and Jet Skis. “He loved the thrill, its freedom and passion,” Karrer. Rainey’s sister said her brother suffered from a drug addiction for eight years before going to rehab and getting clean. She said he spent his last two years sober, living with her and making his life better. “He changed his life and he was finally happy,” she said. “He was finally living his life for the first time.” The 27-year-old was also a father to a 5-year-old girl who was adopted by a family member a few months after being born. The tough decision came from Rainey who knew she was better off being adopted by a family member, Karrer said. “He was loving, he loved everybody,” his sister said. “He was always there for anybody.” Rainey channeled his love for all things mechanical into working as a mechanic for the last couple of years. He also worked at a PetSmart in Huntington Station. When reached for comment, a PetSmart manager who would not give his name said the loss “hit the team really hard.”

Karrer said the family doesn’t want the driver and passengers involved in the minivan to blame themselves. She called it a “terrible accident.” Services for Rainey are being held in New Jersey, where he is from, his sister said. It will take place this Saturday at Ora L. Wooster Funeral Home in Clementon, N.J. He is survived by his girlfriend Dani-

Firefighters put out weekend blaze in Halesite By Rohma aBBas

About 50 firefighters doused a blaze at a Halesite home on Saturday morning. There were no injuries. Under the command of Halesite Fire Department Chief Dan McConnell, firefighters from Huntington, Centerport and

Cold Spring Harbor fire departments responded to the scene on East Neck Road. Volunteers from the Halesite Fire Department responded to reports of a house fire at about 10 a.m., according to Steve Silverman, a spokesman for the Town of Huntington Fire Chiefs Council. The firefighters began an aggressive in-

terior attack through the front door and up a spiral staircase to the second floor. They were able to confine the fire to the attic and rear of the home. The remainder of the home sustained smoke and water damage, Silverman said. The Halesite Fire Department was on the scene with two engines, a ladder truck

and ambulance. Huntington Manor Fire Department was on standby at Halesite’s fire department. Firefighters had the blaze under control in just over an hour, Silverman said. The Suffolk County Police Arson Squad and the Huntington Town fire marshal are investigating the case.

Huntington Town shelter dogs will get playdates Program aims to make dogs more adoptable By BarBara Donlon

Dogs at the Huntington Animal Shelter will get the chance to participate in playgroups that will help them burn energy and counteract the stresses of shelter life. The town shelter has begun implementing Dogs Playing for Life, a socialization program for shelter dogs. In addition to playgroups for the dogs, the program also helps provide better indicators for shelter staff in classifying dogs for adoption. “Huntington is proud of our shelter and our efforts to stay at the forefront of current trends in caring for the physical and emotional needs of the dogs in our care,” Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) said in a statement. “We are excited about the potential of the Dogs Playing for Life program to stimulate dogs at the shelter and prepare them for their lives when they find new homes.” This week, the founder of Dogs Playing for Life, Aimee Sadler and her team, began training shelter

workers and volunteers in the program, according to a town statement. The training includes a classroom session and training with some of the shelter dogs. There is also a classroom presentation and demonstration for safe handling techniques during group experiences. The Dogs Playing for Life program has its roots on Long Island, beginning at the Southampton Town Animal Shelter 17 years ago. “Play is good for animals and people,” Sadler said in a statement. “Letting shelter dogs get together to socialize daily helps them to cope with the stressful kennel environment while waiting for someone to take them home.” The benefits of the program include critical dog-to-dog social skills that can help postadoption in developing positive relationships, along with exercise that will help relax the dogs in their kennels when meeting people. Also, shelter staff will gain a better understanding of each dog by observing its state of play and social skills of the leash — information that can

be used to make better decisions about potential adoption matches. The program, which costs approximately $6,000, is being funded at a cost share by the town and the Huntington League for Animal Protection, whose volunteers have worked with the shelter dogs for many years. Jane Barbato, who runs the volunteer program at the shelter

for the League for Animal Protection, said, “The shelter staff and LAP volunteers already know that we have the most wonderful dogs in the world. Playing for Life gives the public the opportunity to see for themselves just how magnificent they really are — in all their glory, just doing what dogs do, reveling in their connection with

each other.” Dogs Playing for Life is the latest program implemented at the shelter in an effort to help dogs find new homes and help with basic socialization training. The town is planning on chronicling the progress of the program in online videos told through the eyes of Dixie, a pit bull mix at the shelter.

Creativity brought to life In an effort to inspire entrepreneurship and creativity, eighth-grade students in Oldfield Middle School in the Harborfields Central School District recently participated in the 2015 Long Island Family and Consumer Sciences Challenge. Under the advisement of family and consumer science teacher Christy Roxo, students developed a product to submit in either the It’s Not Easy Being Green or Masters of Invention challenge. To enter the It’s Not Easy Being Green competition, students used recycled items to create a repurposed reusable product. Participants in the Masters of Inventions contest developed a concept and prototype along with the price, place and promotion for their invention. Both challenges required students to complete an application and follow the LI FACS four-point scale rubric.

Selected from all the middle school student applicants who entered the challenge were Oldfield Middle School students Matt Miller and Sabrina Ventre. Matt won the grand prize for his Manplow in the Masters of Invention, which he built with a golf bag cart and shovel to help manually lift snow. Sabrina was the winner for her iPod jewelry tray made completely from recycled iPod boxes in the It’s Not Easy Being Green challenge. On May 14, Matt and Sabrina were recognized at the LI FACS Challenge Student Reception held at the H. Frank Carey Junior-Senior High School in Franklin Square where they each received a cash prize of $100 for their hard work and creativity. “This is a great exercise if they ever want to be selfemployed or an entrepreneur in the future,” said Roxo.

Huntington’s Wildman receives high honors Tricia Wildman of Huntington, a student at Suffolk County Community College, has received numerous honors during the past several months for her academic and extracurricular accomplishments. In April alone, she was an honored recipient of the 2015 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence. The award was bestowed at an Albany ceremony hosted by SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher on April 2. This award recognizes students who have best demonstrated, and have been recognized for, the integration of academic excellence with accomplishments in the areas of leadership, athletics, community service, creative and performing arts, campus involvement or career achievement. Each year, SUNY campus presidents establish a selection committee that reviews the accomplishments of exemplary students. Nominees

are then forwarded to the chancellor’s office for a second round of review. Finalists are then recommended to the chancellor. Each recipient receives a framed certificate and medallion, which is traditionally worn at commencement. “The students selected for this honor are role models within the college and SUNY community,” said Suffolk County Community College President Shaun L. McKay. Later that month, Wildman was selected as a member of the 2015 All-USA Community College Academic Team. Only 20 students from more than 1,700 nominations were selected for this prestigious honor. As an All-USA Community College Academic Team member, she was awarded a $5,000 scholarship and special medallion during the American Association of Community Colleges Convention in San Antonio, Texas.

Despite being down early, the Northport boys’ lacrosse team battled back to grind out another victory, to take a 16-0 win streak into the postseason, after going 11-0 in League I to earn the No. 1 seed. “It’s very satisfying because the boys showed the traits they’ve had all season,” Northport head coach George Searing said of the win over Sachem. “They met some adversity, but the nice thing was that they didn’t fold. They persevered and they came back the way we were expecting them to.”

Northport scored an early goal, but Sachem countered a minute later, scored again, and didn’t trail thereafter until midway through the third quarter. “It’s sort of been their trademark all year,” Searing said. “They don’t let this stuff bother them because they work real hard in practice and we prepare for situations, so it didn’t surprise me one bit that even though we got down and things were going against us, we still persevered and found a way to stick with the program, move forward and find a way to score those winning goals.” Senior attack and co-captain Rocco Sutherland scored to tie the game at 2-2, and after two Sachem goals, one with 40 seconds left in the quarter, scored again with five ticks left on the clock to pull the team within one, 4-3. Sachem pulled out to a 6-3 lead after Northport turned the ball over several BOYS’ LACROSSE continued on page A9

pounced out in front, 14-11. With 29 seconds left on the clock, Sachem gained possession after the ball rolled out of bounds, and scored with 11 seconds remaining in the game. Sachem called two timeouts in a row, but turned the ball over, and Northport held on for the 14-12 win. “The biggest thing was Austin Henningsen on the faceoffs,” Searing said. “No matter what they did, we knew we would get the ball back, and that’s a very big confidence booster for a lot of our guys, because even if we make a mistake and we give up a goal, we know we’re going to get the ball back.” Henningsen admits he started off a little shaky, but found his rhythm. “They had some good defensive tactics on the faceoff today, but I figured it out toward the end,” he said of the team’s threeplayer lineup he was not accustomed to. “I knew what I was doing and I got comfortable with it, and kept winning. And the wing guys were phenomenal — boxing out

so I could scoop it up.” Searing continued to credit Henningsen, adding that because the team can continue to win possession after a score, as long as they don’t make too many mistakes and turn the ball over, teams don’t get on a scoring run against the Tigers, while, if Northport remains mistake-free, the team will continue to win faceoffs and score goals for runs of their own. “He’s a very special player.” Searing said of Henningsen. “He’s got the heart of a lion and he was exhausted getting fouled and slashed, and he still persevered and sacrificed so the team could win this game.” No. 1 Northport will host No. 4 Ward Melville at Veterans Park Friday at 4:15 p.m. in the Class A semifinal match, where the team hopes to keep its streak alive. “We’re confident that we’re going to come out and play just the way we have been,” Searing said. “ It’s been a winning formula so far, so we’re hoping it can continue.”

Harborfields

Voters in Harborfields approved their budget with high marks — 82.5 percent voter support for an $80.5 million spending plan, with 1,442 voting in favor and 305 voting no. Voters also supported a proposition on the ballot to establish a new capital reserve fund, with 79.4 percent in favor. Incumbents Donald Mastroianni and

board President Dr. Thomas McDonagh were returned to the board, and voters elected newcomer Suzie Lustig. Mastroianni earned the most votes, at 1,017, McDonagh earned 958 votes and Lustig got 953 votes. Candidates Chris Kelly and Colleen Rappa fell short. Mastroianni and McDonagh are both incumbents; serving their ninth and seventh year, respectively. Lustig, a resident of the Harborfields district for 22 years, will be serving on the board for her first time. Lustig said she wants to focus her time on making sure all students at Harborfields receive a well-rounded education that is competitive for the 21st century. “Our school has to be of a holistic level, some children may be gifted in science or they may be gifted in music, and we need to make sure we represent everybody for a competitive environment,” Lustig said. Lustig has served as the Harborfields Council of PTAs “Get Out the Vote” chairperson for three years now, and has served on the district’s advisory committee since 2013, as well as holding many different PTA positions since 2007. Mastroianni, who has served on the board since 2006, believes that the biggest challenges Harborfields faces as a district are state-imposed, including the gap elimination adjustment on school district aid, a deduction from each school district’s state aid allocation that helps the state fill its revenue shortfall. Mastroianni also hopes to focus on current district committee work regarding building usage and full-

day kindergarten. “I think full-day kindergarten is definitely possible, but we have to take a hard look at the costs and the sustainability,” Mastroianni said. McDonagh wants to focus on many of the projects that have just begun this year, including the capital improvement bond project, and evaluating the need for facility modifications over the next few years. “The projects being considered include both athletic facilities and educational facilities, as well as just general

district facility needs like bathrooms and other facilities,” McDonagh said.

Cold Spring Harbor

In Cold Spring Harbor, voters approved a $64 million budget, 335 votes to 130. Proposition 2, which moved to spend capital reserve money on various projects, passed 318 to 107. Proposition 3, to establish a new capital reserve fund, was approved 314 to 114. Board President Anthony Paolano and Trustee Ingrid Wright ran unopposed for reelection and received 366 and 359 votes, respectively

3,561 to 504. Longtime Trustee Stephen Waldenburg Jr., who has served on the board for 15 years, was voted out in a heated race against six others for three seats, amassing 1,290 votes. Incumbent David Badanes, 2,446 votes, was reelected to another term. Candidate Tammie Topel, former school board member, got her seat back after declining to seek re-election last year, with 2,130 votes and newcomer David Stein, who championed a successful grassroots parental movement to get full-day kindergarten included in this year’s budget, enjoyed victory to the board, with 2,548 votes. Newcomers Peter Mainetti, Josh Muno and Michael Brunone missed the mark as well, with Mainetti garnering 1,018 votes, Muno receiving 542 votes and Brunone getting 1,039 votes. Stein said he’s looking forward to working with his colleagues on the school board as his first order of business. “I feel that the will of this entire community, that did great things this year, was just heard. This is what we’ve been working for. The community put kindergarten together; they did it as a community effort.” Waldenburg said he “would’ve liked to won,” but the community has spoken. “I’ve given it my all for 15 years and I’m grateful that I was able to serve that long,” Waldenburg said. “I appreciate it. The community wants somebody else; that’s their choice.” Newly elected Trustee Tammie Topel and incumbent David Badanes also spoke positively about their victories. “I feel on cloud nine. I feel really great,” Topel said. The United Teachers of Northport, the district’s teacher’s union, endorsed the three candidates who won, according to Antoinette Blanck, the president of the union. She said she was “thrilled” the budget passed, especially because of full-day kindergarten.

Hear ye: new ferry from NYC to Port Jeff

Between you and me By Leah S. Dunaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

f you could wave a wand and make all the summer weekend traffic on Long Island’s highways disappear, it would be a miracle, right? Well, we should prepare ourselves for a miracle, because one is about to touch down at Port Jefferson. Specifically, it will arrive, starting tomorrow, May 22, and will last through Sunday and every summer weekend thereafter. This miracle to which I refer is a high-speed ferry that will

carry walk-on passengers back and forth from New York City to Port Jefferson three times every Friday, once on Saturday and again three times on Sundays. In so doing, it will, of course, provide an alternate route not only to Port Jefferson but also, thanks to its alliance with the Port Jeff ferry and the Hampton Jitney, to points east and north. Do you hear the announcement, “North Shore, North Fork, Hamptons and the wineries”? What a stimulus this can be for business even as it is a long overdue benefit for passengers. A partnership between Seastreak, the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry and Hampton Jitney is making this new mode of transportation possible. These companies will link the tristate area, even tying into the New Jersey coast. The seasonal weekend service is called Sea Jitney, and it will use the Port Jefferson dock as its hub. Hampton Jitney service will carry passengers to their

preferred destinations elsewhere in Suffolk, and the Port Jeff ferry can take them to Connecticut and Amtrak. “Seastreak has been an innovator in introducing new ferry services from New York City to destinations such as Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket,” said Jim Barker, president of Seastreak, in a press release. I know something about that service because I used it myself as a way to spend a weekend with friends who lived on Martha’s Vineyard. But in order to do that, I had to travel out east at an early hour to catch the boat. Still, I was willing to do that to avoid the legendary traffic jams that come with driving there, and as I bet people will do to visit Long Island. According to Baker, the vessels are equipped with high-backed seating, a full bar and Wi-Fi service. Geoffrey Lynch, president of Hampton Jitney, commented for the press release that this innovative idea from these “three established and

respected area transportation companies ... will give people a relaxing way to enjoy the East End and Port Jefferson.” The ferry will leave Manhattan’s East 35th Street dock and Highlands, N.J., traveling round trip. Margot Garant, Port Jefferson’s mayor, said in the release, “We are extremely pleased to partner with the Sea Jitney to help bring people to Port Jefferson by our harbor. This powerful partnership has an extremely low impact on our infrastructure while introducing visitors to our beautiful, historic village.” Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry general manager, Fred Hall, pronounced the Sea Jitney “a game changer for people who travel between Connecticut and the Hamptons. At two-andone-half hours from Bridgeport to Southampton, it’s shorter than going through NYC and much less stressful.” Here are some of the nittygritty details. One-way fares

What a stimulus this can be for business. will be from $33 to $50, depending on the length of the ride; reservations and advance payment are required. The trip takes about two hours from the city to Port Jefferson and an hour, traffic permitting, from Port Jefferson to the Hamptons. For a complete schedule, go to www.seajitney.com. Aside from my patriotic enthusiasm for the new alliance, I have a totally selfish reason to be so pleased with this new turn of events. My children and grandchildren live to the west. Their summer visits may change for them from endurance on the highways to a pre-weekend pleasure as they stand at the rail and watch the bluffs of Long Island’s North Shore slip by. I’d better start stocking the refrigerator now.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Take a chill pill With warmer weather comes an urge to leave the house, and we expect, as usual, there will be a lot more cars on the road, so now is a good time to remind our readers not to lose their cool behind the wheel. Whether a driver made a mistake — as we all do from time to time — or not, it can be terrifying for that person when another motorist becomes enraged and takes it out on them. We’ve all experienced tailgating or obnoxious horn-honking, and some of us have been victims of more dire cases of road rage, like prolonged following and actual physical violence or threats. In the less confrontational incidents, frustrated and angry drivers often lash out because it’s easy to hide in the anony-

mous bubble of a car, when they would not have been so bold to display such anger in person. In the more extreme cases, the mad drivers may have had a screw or two loose to begin with and might have acted out no matter the location or circumstance. We understand that daily stresses factor into this problem, and Long Island’s immense traffic congestion doesn’t help the frustration we might already be feeling while in the car. But consider this: The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reports that aggressive driving is a factor in more than half of all traffic fatalities, according to 2009 data. In those cases, “motorists are concerned with the others’ aggressive driving while many are guilty themselves.” Terrible accidents involving mangled cars happen all the time, but they don’t have to happen over things as petty as payback for being cut off or revenge on a slow-moving vehicle. We urge our readers to slow down when
