NY native to take top education seat

Elia named state schools commissioner By VIcTorIa ESPINoZa

MaryEllen Elia, a former Florida school superintendent, will succeed John B. King Jr., as New York’s next education commissioner, and local education leaders across the North Shore are anxiously waiting to see if she’ll pass the test. The New York State Board of Regents formed a seven-member search committee in January to find a replacement for King, who announced he was leaving his seat after accepting a federal senior advisor position to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. For a decade, Elia served as the superintendent of Hillsborough County, Florida, and was named state superintendent of the year in 2015. She is credited with much

success in Hillsborough, as her district won $100 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to help develop a teacher evaluation system that used student standardized test scores as a key factor. In January, the Hillsborough school board terminated Elia’s contract in a 4-3 vote. According to reports, she was criticized for not doing enough for special education students, while her supporters felt the ousting was a petty move made by the new majority on the school board. The system, Empowering Effective Teachers, received national praise from Duncan and the American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, who stated in a press release the system Elia continued on page a10

New group to suggest athletics improvements Northport-East Northport school board appoints committee By Rohma aBBas

meeting before the committee expires on Dec. 31. Earlier this year, parents lobbied the school board to seriously consider funding upgrades to the district’s facilities in the school’s budget. In January, 27 people emailed the school board on the issue with many saying they felt the current state of athletic facilities is “embarrassing” and in some cases “a safety hazard.” Steve Klis, who wrote one of the letters, said at the time he was disappointed with the sports facilities, particularly at the high school. “For example, lighted football-soccer-lacrosse-field hockey fields with either wellgroomed grass or, preferably, artificial turf is the standard,” he said. “Our children are competing with others throughout the country with these basics, and I believe strongly that we need to make these upgrades a priority for our community and school district.” Some parents have expressed a

Parents have been calling for athletic upgrades at the district’s facilities.

desire to bring turf to the district. “The children playing on these fields are putting themselves at risk of being injured due to lack of upkeep and, quite frankly, after visiting many high schools with gorgeous turf fields, it is quite an embarrassment to show off our overgrown, bumpy and lumpy, grass fields,” Michele Bica wrote at the time. “Please put this in your budget immediately. How

many years do we have to sit by and wait — for something that would benefit many teams as well as the high school image — for you to make room for something as important as this in our budget.” Pisacani said the committee’s first meeting is on Monday, June 8, at 6:30 p.m. in the school board conference room at the William J. Brosnan School building. The meeting is open to the public.

A group of Northport-East Northport school district residents will be bringing their Agame to a new committee tasked with brainstorming ways to upgrade its athletic facilities. The school board voted unanimously on Monday to appoint a group of 15 district residents who will roll up their sleeves and get to work on recommending repairs and projects. Trustee Regina Pisacani spearheaded the creation of the Athletic Facilities Citizens Advisory Committee back in March in an effort she said was born out of community desire to do something about the district’s sports facilities. “I hope to meet the needs the community wants for the district for the athletic fields and facilities,” Pisacani said in an interview with reporters at Monday night’s school board meeting. “There’s been a lot of disappointment in the state that things have

gotten to and I hope to turn that around.” The school board first approved the creation of the committee in March and tasked it with focusing on the inspection and evaluation of the present state of athletic facilities and grounds and deciding whether to rehabilitate or replace fields, equipment and facilities. It is also charged with reviewing, analyzing and summarizing the state of the district’s athletic facilities in a written report to the school board and creating a list in order of safety and importance of recommended repairs and/or replacements. Other tasks of the group include determining the costs of the recommended repairs and analyzing outside funding opportunities to help pay for upgrades. The resolution authorizing the group said the committee must present a five-year plan to identify priorities for the board by Dec. 14. It must also prepare a presentation for the 2016 budget

Berland has worked with graffiti cleanup for years and is now trying to create legislation that amends the town code so that the cleanups are routine. Cuthbertson has introduced legislation to add electronic cigarettes to the list of products banned from town beaches and playgrounds. This list already includes tobacco and herbal cigarettes, pipes and cigars. In 2010 a county law restricted the sale of e-cigarettes to those old enough to buy tobacco. Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) sponsored legislation to ban vaping, or the act of smoking an e-cigarette, at county parks and benches in late 2012.

Northport Nautical Mile to debut on June 13 1.15-mile race will end at the harbor By Victoria Espinoza

The first ever Northport Nautical Mile race will take place on Saturday, June 13, in Northport Village. The downhill 1.1.5 mile race will go through the heart of Northport and end at the foot of the harbor. The race is meant to be fast, fun and family-friendly. “We wanted to do something a little different, a little unique and specific to Northport,” Stewart MacLeod, the race director for the Northport Running Club said in a phone interview. That’s why the race is a nautical mile instead of an average one-mile run. A nautical mile is a term used in measuring distances at sea. There will be an award ceremony held at the gazebo at the waterfront park, along with raffles and refreshments. At 11 a.m., the annual Blessing of the Fleet ceremony will take place, which includes participation by

local officials as well as clergymen from multiple denominations. The Northport Farmers Market will also be in full swing, featuring vendors from all across Long Island. The race will have a male and female wave, but there are

no age distinctions within each wave. Runners age 15 and up are welcome to participate. The Northport Running Club organizes the race, and approximately 400 participants are expected. Trophies will be awarded to the overall first, sec-

Above, Katie Nugent leads the relay pack on the way to her first-place finish for the Suffolk Division II title. Right, Alexandra Koumas leaps over the hurdle.

Blue Devils win first Suffolk title in last event Track & field Every point counted. Literally. The Huntington girls’ track and field team needed contributions from its sprinters and hurdlers, distance runners and field event specialists to put it in a position to overtake East Islip in the final event and lift the Blue Devils to their first-ever Suffolk County Division II spring championship last Thursday at Northport High School. Huntington nipped East Islip in the final team standings by a mere two points, 91-89. The outcome wasn’t decided until 4x400meter relay anchor Katie Nugent’s all-out sprint in the final 100 meters of that race produced a first-place finish and gave the Blue Devils the title they have coveted all spring. “What a meet!” Huntington head coach Shawn Anderson said. “That was one of the most exciting meets I have ever been a part of, especially since we were in the mix of it. As a coach, I knew that we were prepared, but it was up to the athletes to rise to the occasion and they proved why they were the best team out there today in Division II. [East Islip] pushed us all the way to the end.” Huntington trailed East Islip heading into the shot put and the relays, 75-66, but Betty Huitt came up big for the team in shot put, shattering her previous personal best with a throw that measured 34-8 1/2, to place fourth and capture four team points, to inch the Blue Devils closer to the top. In the 4x800 relay, the team of Nugent, Nicole Abbondandelo, Alexandra Koumas

and Suzie Petryk turned in a gutty perfor- ing into the final turn and caught West Babmance. The foursome notched a winning ylon at the top of the stretch. It was an alltime of 9 minutes, 38.65 seconds, just shy of out sprint in the final 100 meters, producing their best this spring, but notable in light of a victory by a mere 65/100ths of a second. the fact that most of athletes had run two “It was one of the most intense races I prior races, including Koumas, who only have seen, and with the win, came the title,” had about 30 minutes rest after her 400 hur- Anderson said.

Petryk cruised to victory in 7:12.80 in the 2,000 steeplechase, and Pastorelli finished fifth, in 7:43.90, a new personal best time. Petryk raced in the 1,500 soon after, and finished second in 4:52.54, making sure to save some energy for the all-important relay that was contested near the end of the competition. Abbondandelo placed fifth in a new personal best time of 4:58.96. Shand finished fourth in 58.63 in the 400 dash. “Latoya was an unsung hero for us as she ran four races on Tuesday and two races on Thursday for us,” Anderson said. “She’s quiet, yet fierce, and always lays it out on the track.” Kayla Eidle gained the Blue Devils valuable points in the team standings with her fifth place finish in the 1,500 race walk, in 7:55.45. Cartwright cleared 9 feet in the pole vault, to finish in a tie for third place. Nugent notched a personal best 32-3 3/4 in shot put, when she launched three consecutive throws about 10 minutes prior to running in the 4x800 relay. The Blue Devils are on a roll, winning the league and division titles, and Anderson hopes the good times roll into states. “Each and every girl laid out their best efforts on the track and had some absolutely stellar performances,” Anderson said. “With such a historic day, it will be fun to see how we do at the state qualifier meet this Friday and Saturday at Port Jefferson.”

provides extensive support for teachers and pay structure incentivizes teachers to take on more challenging positions. Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch said in a press release that Elia has a remarkable record of working collaboratively with parents, students and teachers to get things done, which was crucial to make sure the implementation of the Common Core Learning Standards went smoothly for students and teachers in Florida. Elia is delighted to return to New York and said in a press release that she is happy to work on behalf of the children. She still considers herself a teacher at heart and believes that a good teacher is also a good listener. The New York native had her first teaching job in Sweet Home Central School District in Amherst, N.Y., where she taught social studies for 16 years. In 1986, when her family moved to Florida, she became a reading teacher for three years and then held various administrative positions in the district until her departure. During Elia’s 10-year tenure as superintendent of Hillsborough, students have received national recognition for their achievements. Fourth- and eighthgrade students earned higher reading scores than any of the other 22 districts that participated in the 2013 Trial Urban

District Assessment. All of Hillsborough district’s public high schools placed on the Washington Post’s list of America’s Most Challenging High Schools in 2012 and 2013. King stepped down last December amid much controversy, specifically for his methods of implementing the highly controversial Common Core in New York. Superintendents, politicians and members of the community all found problems with King’s techniques, feeling that the Common Core was rushed into the schools and not given enough time for teachers and students to understand it. Another fault was his background, which lacked any teaching jobs. King was a co-founder of Roxbury Prep, a charter middle school in Massachusetts. “I was the first to call for his resignation; he developed a hostile approach and seemed oblivious to his role,” New York State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said. Englebright said he hopes Elia will provide a fresh look at the system and that she’ll bring her background as both a teacher and an administrator to the schools of New York. One thing is for sure; Elia has her work cut out for her. “I think she has a monumental task ahead of her, “ Timothy Eagen, Kings Park’s superintendent said. “On Long Island, about 50 percent of students in grades three through eight refused to take the assessments this past year.

headquarters in Yaphank. The study will also examine any equipment and personnel costs associated in establishing the locations, he said. According to Craigslist’s website, the majority of users are “trustworthy” and “wellintentioned” and the incidence of violent crimes is “extremely low.” Craigslist offers some guidelines when meeting someone for the first time. The site said meetings should take place in a public

place as opposed to a private home; users should take precautions when selling expensive items; tell someone where they are going; and consider having someone accompany them. In addition, it encourages people to make high-value exchanges at a local police station. Suffolk Deputy Chief Kevin Fallon said on Tuesday that the department could not comment, but would communicate its findings once a report is complete.

is a lot of work to be done.” Middle Country school district Superintendent Roberta Gerold felt there wasn’t a collaborative culture surrounding the application of the Common Core under King’s tenure. “There needs to be a responsible conversation, and I don’t think we had that with King, he was reluctant to slow down,” said Gerold, who also serves as president of the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association. Superintendent Jim Polansky, of Huntington, said Elia needs to strive to keep politics out of education.

“In general, she must assume her responsibilities with the confidence required to help remove the political agendas from education and guide local educational agencies in a manner that allows them to best address the needs of their students and school communities,” he said in an email. “She will need to establish open and productive lines of communication, as well as actively listen to the concerns of educators, parents and students.” Elia has stated that her first item of business as commissioner will be listening to the members of the community, parents, teachers, students and administrators.

Rapid rise in go-it-alone vacationers

Between you and me By Leah S. Dunaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

his is the time of year when many people travel. Vacations from school schedules, more comfortable weather, package deals and the urge to get away from the familiar and learn something about how others live, all conspire to encourage us to hit the road, or the rivers and seas or the air and go somewhere. And finally there is good news for the solo travelers among us. Party of one is no longer as expensive and difficult to book as it has been. According to a recent New

York Times article, one in four travelers on overseas vacations went alone last year, up from 15 percent in 2013 based on the latest Visa Global Travel Intentions Study. With the numbers increasing, travel companies are paying attention. Companies that have long been in business are finally offering guided trips for singles and at accessible prices. Solo travelers are not necessarily singles who are looking for other singles but rather more often marrieds or those in committed relationships who, for one reason or another, might be traveling alone. Sometimes a couple owns a business together, and only one can leave at a time. Or perhaps a couple might be caretakers for an elderly person or one with special needs and can only get away individually. Sometimes trips have a singular theme, like tennis or rappelling, that doesn’t appeal to the partner. Then there is the familiar situation where one member yearns to travel and the other dislikes leaving the comforts and predictability of home for the uncertainty of

the road. Traveling solo may save that relationship. Among first-time travelers, The Times tells us, solo travel has jumped to 37 percent from 16 percent in 2013. This change alone has got to offer encouragement for the widow or widower who hankers to go off on a trip but is intimidated by the prospect of being without a companion. And guided tours among solo travelers are up almost 300 percent since 2013. Look at some details of contemporary living. Over half of American adults are single. Does that surprise you? It certainly excites travel companies serving that market. As recently as 2012, one in five American adults had never married. Compare that with the one in 10 of 1960. And that is not just the trend for Americans. Other countries, like the United Kingdom, are not far behind. Further, among Americans 45 or older who traveled solo, 53 percent are married while 39 percent are single or divorced, according to AARP. Some companies are reducing

or doing away altogether with the despised single supplements. To mention names, Tom Harper River Journeys, a river cruise company near Boston, offered the information that in 2016, it would have a ship with supplement-free staterooms. The Majestic Line, a small-ship cruising company in Britain, announced that two of seven en-suite cabins on a new ship would be for singles without additional supplements. Holland America, of Seattle, is planning to add 12 new ocean-view cabins for singles on a ship coming in 2016. Companies such as Zegrahm Expeditions and Tauck are offering some relief to those saddled with single supplements, Then there is Solos Vacations, the American arm of one of the oldest British companies, Solos Holidays, whose attendees average 55 years of age. Here is another comforting statistic from AARP: More than 80 percent of people 45 and older who have traveled solo plan to do so again within the next 12 months. That’s close to a unanimous endorsement. I would

Over half of American adults are single. Does that surprise you? certainly be in that 80 percent. While I have never planned an entire trip alone, I have been on parts of a trip unaccompanied and have discovered what I really already knew: That the world is filled with people and that most who travel are interested in meeting and chatting with others similarly inclined. There are some advantages to being alone. People might be hesitant to engage in conversation with two or more people, but they will readily do so with someone clearly alone who might initiate some chatter about the weather, the food, the accommodations or any other common experience. And that exchange might even lead to getting a cab together at the final destination or having beneficially shared time. It is getting easier and cheaper to travel alone at last.

OPINION

Starting a new conversation

Shortly after our newly-elected school board trustees are sworn in for the next school year, MaryEllen Elia will officially take her seat as New York’s top education official. As a community newspaper, we understand just how much the neighborhoods we cover care about education. We’ve taken notes through countless school board meetings, forums on the Common Core Learning Standards and rallies for public education. We have witnessed the passion on both sides of the aisle when it comes to educating our kids. But while the whole debate over Common Core, higher standards, testing and teacher evaluations — just to name a few — started out as

a civil one, it has become overrun with rhetoric, anger and confusion. We hope Elia will help start a new conversation. Critics of former commissioner John B. King Jr. often mention he had no experience in the classroom. We are pleased to see that Elia, who began her career as a social studies teacher in New York state, has nearly two decades of teaching experience. In addition, the teacher evaluation system she helped develop received praise from the president of the American Federation of Teachers, the union that oversees many of our local teacher associations. The system uses student test scores as a factor, but also provides developmental support for teach-
