Education

Louis Viglietta Named One of Commack’s Academic Leaders BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As the school year ended, Louis Viglietta was named one of Commack High School’s academic leaders along with Kimberly Liao. Viglietta capped off the year with a 105.34 weighted grade point average. Viglietta is preparing to attend Princeton University at the end of the summer and will major in chemical and biological engineering. Once he attends college, he said he will miss the Commack community. “I’m excited, but there will actually be things I will miss about Commack,” he said, adding that he and his friends have already discussed how they will visit each other. The academic leader said that at a young age his father, Peter, a software engineer, taught him chemistry, and he continued to focus on the subject in high school. He said his interest in biology developed over the years watching his mother, Anna Marie, battling a mild case of cerebral palsy. He was 4 years old when he moved to Commack from Wantagh and attended Rolling Hills Primary School and Sawmill

Intermediate before starting high school. Viglietta said he has appreciated his education in the district and was lucky to have supportive teachers, including his math teachers and chemistry teacher Stephanie O’Brien. In addition to his studies, during his time in Commack, Viglietta was involved in the Simons Summer Research Program at Stony Brook University, performed as principal flute player with the ICA Wind Ensemble, was treasurer for the class executive board and Science Honor Society and president of the Quizbowl club. During his high school career, he won second place in the Toshiba/ NSTA ExploraVision contest and is a Rensselaer Medal scholarship winner. Viglietta said he enjoyed being on the class board as treasurer, dealing with financial decisions, organizing big events and the senior gift, as well as working with the advisers and his classmates. He added that he also gained a lot of positive experience as president of the Quizbowl, a competition team he joined in ninth grade. Viglietta said the Simons Research Program provided great experience in the biochemical

and bioresearch fields, allowing him to work in a Stony Brook Medicine lab and research pathways that cause some of the side effects of chemotherapy, and hear from some of the faculty members about their research. Regarding this year’s school shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic, Viglietta said he found the online learning experience interesting but manageable. With prom canceled and graduation tentatively scheduled for August, Viglietta said he was able to adjust, but all of his friends are dealing with it differently. “When I started to think about it, it was the little things that won’t get rescheduled — the goodbyes to teachers and friends, the yearbook signings — all those smaller events that don’t have a setting to take place anymore,” he said. For his fellow students, he said his best advice is to keep at it and persevere even when times are tough. “Even though this class had the year chopped off a bit, there still have been great milestones and things to look forward to,” he said. “Just keep looking ahead, and you’ll get through it.”

Kimberly Liao Shares Academic Leader Honor with Viglietta BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With a 104.46 weighted grade point average, Kimberly Liao shares the honor of Commack High School academic leader with Louis Viglietta. Liao will be attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology later this year with a combined biology and chemistry major. Her father, Xiangmin Liao, is a chemist, so she said going into that field was always in the back of her mind. Her mother, Xia Zhou, works in the public health sector. Through the student’s years in the Commack School District, she has been involved in the Regeneron Science Talent Search and was named one of its top 300 scholars for 2020. She also has been class president from her sophomore year through senior year and was a member of the tennis team. In 2015, while in eighth grade, she won the Suffolk County girls tennis title and became an all-state qualifier, and repeated the feat a year later. She said sometimes balancing schoolwork with other activities can be stressful. “But, I think that all-around prioritizing

and knowing when to take a break and when to step back and what needs to be done in that moment of time helps,” she said. While she was born in Kansas and lived in Minnesota when she was younger, Liao said she has spent all her school years in the Commack district. She attended Indian Hollow Primary School and Burr Intermediate before attending Commack High. Among her favorite classes, she said, was chemistry and she enjoyed conducting science research and being hands-on in biology. She said while the state mandate requiring schools to close due to the coronavirus was difficult to get used to, she found the workload to be less and tried her best to find things to do to fill her free time. She would go to the tennis courts with her mother, catch up on sleep, and cook and bake a lot. Liao also finished research for a scientific paper that was recently edited, and she hopes it will be published in ACS Omega, a peerreviewed scientific journal. As she looks back at high school, she said she is grateful for her teachers, especially club advisers Holly Bellisari and Michael Jeziorski, research teacher Jeanette Collette and chemistry teacher Stephanie O’Brien. As far as Liao’s future, she said she’s not

100 percent set on a career path yet, but it’s something she looks forward to discovering as she’s thinking of possibly working in some way in the health devices field. While she’s at college, she said she’ll miss spending time with her family, and her dad said he wants to come up to watch all her tennis matches. She’ll also miss Commack. “I’ll miss having this great community that I’ve grown to love and has supported me during this journey,” she said. “That will be very hard to let go.” This year she was part of the prom planning committee. She said that during the first two weeks of quarantine it was hard to grasp that milestone events would be canceled, but overall she was more troubled by the smaller everyday events than the bigger milestones. “I was more upset about the little things like seeing my teachers every day, gossiping with my friends,” she said. When it comes to advice for younger Commack students, which includes her brother Edward, she said it’s important to find something that they enjoy and really pursue it. “Take some chances, because you never know what’s going to happen,” she said.

Northport Names DeTolla and Brummel Top of The 2020 Class BY LEAH CHIAPPINO LCHIAPPINO@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In light of graduation season, Northport High School has named Peter DeTolla and Alea Brummel valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. Like all members of the Class of 2020, both students have attempted to rise to the challenge of celebrating senior year in the face of a pandemic, while mourning the loss of classic senior moments, such as prom and traditional graduation. “I definitely would have preferred to have finished my senior year in school with all of my classmates, but I am trying to make the best of the situation,” Brummel said. “While I am sad that I didn’t get many of the opportunities I would have had if we had been in school, I am extremely grateful for the efforts our principal Mr. Danbusky and all of the other staff and teachers at Northport High School who have made efforts to ensure we get a special ending to our senior year such as lawn signs or the drive-by parade we had.” “The pandemic was really a slap in the face, as everyone in the Class of 2020 missed out on the best part of high school,” DeTolla added. “However, my school made a great effort to make us feel appreciated and I thank them for that.” DeTolla finished high school with a 102.78 grade point average and plans to attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the fall, with hopes of becoming a mechanical engineer. The valedictorian was involved in Students for 60,000, a Northport High School-based service organization dedicated to helping the needy. Through the club, DeTolla went on a service trip to Nicaragua, which he says was a highlight of his high school experience. “My experience in Nicaragua as a part of Students for 60,000 is something I’ll never forget,” he said. “I’ve become so appreciative of the life I

have, and those trips are a big reason for that. The memories and friends I made there are truly remarkable.” DeTolla added that another highlight from high school was beating Ward Melville High School “on their home turf,” at a recordbreaking lacrosse game. “It was a euphoric feeling that I share with every member of the team,” he said. One of four children, DeTolla said he grew up in a close, well-rounded family, something he attributes to his success. “My mother and father, Aimee and Peter, raised me to be a balanced individual with a

strong work ethic and kind spirit,” he said. “Our family is very close, and I can’t imagine not being a part of it … I would like to thank every teacher, coach, older cousin and any other role model in my life for giving me the tools to succeed.” Brummel, who earned a 101.62 GPA, is headed to Baylor University in the fall to study chemistry and mathematics on a premed track, with the hopes of working in sports medicine. For the salutatorian, it was her combined love of sports and science that led her on this path. At Northport, she was the head student athletic trainer and was able to

assist the district’s athletic trainer in treating and rehabilitating injured student-athletes. The times when she was working directly on the football field, she said, were some of her favorite memories from high school. “I am a huge football fan, and it was awesome to not only go to games but to also get to work as a student trainer for the games,” she said. “It was an amazing experience to be on the field with the players, and I am hoping to potentially pursue a career in sports medicine so it was incredible to get to see what the atmosphere is like.” Despite her school and training commitments, Brummel also was involved in community service through her church. For the past two years, she has gone on a service trip to the Dominican Republic over February break. Brummel said she has loved growing up in Northport and “had an amazing experience at Northport High School.” She praised all of her “amazing teachers,” but gave special thanks to her AP Chemistry teacher, Don Strasser, as his class was a major factor in Brummel choosing chemistry as a major. She said her math teachers likewise fueled her passion for mathematics, and that she is deeply grateful to her mentors in the sports medicine program, Tracey Braun and Shawn Scattergood. Brummel thanked her family for “always being incredibly supportive of me and always being there for me.” She advised next year’s senior class to take the time to cherish senior year. “Make sure you take advantage of all of your opportunities and make sure to have fun and enjoy your senior year,” she said. “This year especially has shown us, not everything is guaranteed to happen as expected, so make the most of what you experience — go to the game, go to the dance, go out with your friends.” Editor’s note: Check future editions of The Times of Huntington to find more info about valedictorians and salutatorians in the town.

NPMS Community Forum Details Remediation Plans, Addresses Lingering Questions including moving school buses off campus to another location on Brightside Avenue. “‘Safe to occupy’ is our collective opinion based on our investigation of the site,” Lewis said. “We did not identify a concern with a path of exposure that would render the building unsafe for students or staff to occupy. As long as the ongoing maintenance and remediations mentioned continue, we do consider this matter to be resolved.” Trustee members praised PWGC for its work. “There were a lot of dots that needed to be connected in terms of previous studies, to have a clear narrative of examples of the environmental conditions at the school,” said trustee Larry Licopoli. “This study addressed the whole picture in a way that wasn’t done before,” he said. Parents and community members asked PWGC if the problems found at the school could have caused previous ailments children and staff faced over the years. The environmental firm couldn’t give a definitive answer. “We can’t say in the past this wasn’t making them sick — we can’t recreate the past,” said PWGC project manager Heather

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Following the release of Bohemia-based P.W Grosser Consulting’s environmental report on Northport Middle School that deemed the building safe to reopen, district officials addressed questions from parents and community members at a virtual forum June 25. District officials hope that the over-threehour meeting, which had a lengthy questionand-answer portion, is the first step in reassuring the community as remediation work continues to take place at the middle school. PWGC senior project manager, Jennifer Lewis, said that the district should prepare a management plan to deal with the arsenic found in soils within the track field. The firm recommended that the district should do routine maintenance of the HVAC system, conduct sanitization of roof drains and have a roofing contractor inspect the roof drains to determine if they are properly sealed. In addition, the firm asked for the district to seal the sanitary system and remove gas tanks from the school. The district has already begun some of the remediation work

Editorial Letters to the Editor The Kids Are (Not) All Right We Must Enforce a Quarantine It was the winter of 2007 to 2008 when the financial crisis hit. Years of excessive risky loans by banks (and others) and a downturn in the subprime lending market resulted in several years of economic hurt. Many lost their jobs and homes. Some say we truly have never recovered. For the young people graduating high school or college just over a decade ago, it was walking blind toward a cliff’s edge. They went through school with certain expectations, but the jobs once promised to be there upon graduation were gone. In the following years, young people took what was available, much of the time it was low-paying service industry jobs without a real hope of promotion. A new kind of employment, something people started to call the “gig economy,” was born. People worked freelance without a chance for receiving health insurance through an employer or have any kind of job security. Now we face a new impending time of economic peril, and there are many thousands of young people graduating this year from high school or college on Long Island. We as parents and residents need to ask ourselves, “What will we do for them to make sure they can make it out there in a time of wild unpredictability and economic inhospitability?” Research indicates that people who graduate in a time of economic tension can remain in worse straits than their peers for over a decade. A 2019 study in the Journal of Labor Economics showed the pay and employment rate for people who graduated during the Great Recession have remained relatively low, even after several years. Millennials, the youngest of whom are 24 while the oldest are nearing 40, hold just 3 percent of America’s wealth compared to 21 percent that the baby boomer generation held at around the same age, according to a 2019 U.S. Federal Reserve report. This is a pivotal time for young people entering the job market, as not only is this when they can start to accrue wealth and build up savings, but it’s a means to start grinding away at what can be tens of thousands of dollars in student loans. Without early starts to their careers, young people will end up running in place, making enough to live but not enough to build their credit or finances (though on Long Island it’s rare they will be able to afford the rent to even the smallest apartment). It’s time as a nation we seriously have to consider governmental action to save the future for our graduates. Yes, that includes student loan forgiveness programs, as there is potentially no worse idea than saddling a young person — who likely never even signed a check before — with thousands upon thousands in debt to either private firms or the U.S. government. Even more people will be looking to college as a way to build their job prospects, so it’s time we look at additional subsidies for college. We should also start thinking of handing out incentives to companies willing to hire people fresh out of school. An unregulated financial sector helped cause the 2008 economic collapse. Now with the pandemic, more research has shown if the government, both state and federal, had responded to the crisis with lockdowns sooner, we could have saved more lives and potentially restarted our economy faster and smoother. What’s done is done, but the fact is young people had no part in causing this economic downturn. Let’s have us as parents and neighbors think about how we can still help young people get ahead in life, for the sake of their entire generation.

“If we didn’t test, we wouldn’t have cases. We have cases because we test.” These are the words of a madman. These are the words spoken by an ignorant narcissist during a global pandemic. These are the words spoken by the president of the United States. This man who refuses to concede to the facts stated by his own Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, who won’t wear a mask because he thinks it will make him look “weak,” who continues to plan rallies that have been categorized as “superspreaders,” is the leader of the United States. Every time this man opens his mouth, he downplays the severity of the situation our country is in. He decries the words of infectious disease experts and encourages Americans to ignore the warnings necessitated by the spread of COVID-19 to wear masks and socially distance. Thankfully, not all governors

are like Republicans Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis or Doug Ducey, who opened up their respective states of Texas, Florida and Arizona and watched their numbers soar under the influence of their devotion to Trump. And now the people in the Sun Belt and the southwest are feeling the vice-like grip of this horrific virus. The red states that sat back and watched the blue states (chiefly New York and the Tri-state area) nearly drown in viral contamination are now choking on their blind devotion to Trump. Yes, this may come off as insensitive, but lest we not forget the treatment New York received from the federal government during our peak. And now as the Northeast has a strong foothold on our numbers with our remarkable progress, we must enforce a quarantine on those entering from states that have seen surges. Had we been led from the start as an interconnected society,

rather than 50 separate nations, perhaps we would all be coming out on the other side. Unfortunately, though, under the leadership of Donald Trump (R), a viral pandemic was politicized and became a catalyst for greater division in our country. Rather than banding together, regardless of political affiliation, we are further apart than ever thanks to the words of Trump. Fortunately, though, through the darkness we can see the light at the end of a long tunnel — Election Day. It is imperative that we elect a leader who possesses the qualities necessary to usher us out of this dark time while reuniting us as Americans. We can no longer be governed by obtuse rhetoric and egocentric rambling. We cannot afford to ignore reality. Wear a mask! Stefanie Werner East Setauket

Results Should Cause Deep Concerns There is a valuable lesson to be learned from the cataclysmic events that have befallen this nation in the past few months. The declared emergencies have endowed our governors and mayors with extraordinary unilateral powers, which they have exercised to produce results that should cause deep concern for all of us. Here in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has singlehandedly brought about the unnecessary deaths of thousands of elderly coronavirus patients by compelling them to reside and perish in nursing homes that were not equipped to treat them. Across the country, in Seattle, Charleston, Portland and Washington, D.C., among many other cities, packs of anarchists have been allowed to run wild, wantonly destroying property that does not belong to them, while members of the local police forces stand by and watch them, sometimes refusing even to respond to 911 calls from beleaguered citizen taxpayers whose property and lives are being destroyed as they watch helplessly with tears in their eyes. From the lowlife hoodlums with their cans

of spray paint and gasoline and their armloads of bricks and hammers, we should not be surprised. But for the disgraceful politicians who enable this grossly antisocial behavior to get started, watch it build to a flaming crescendo, and take no steps to contain it, there is no excuse. The mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan (D), aided and abetted by Washington’s governor, Jay Inslee (D), has allowed, and even encouraged, local anarchists to occupy an area of six square blocks in the middle of Seattle, first known as CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone), later renamed as CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest). Not surprisingly, before long two men within CHAZ (or CHOP) were shot. When the police arrived, they engaged in negotiations with the occupiers, who graciously permitted the officers to remove the two men, of whom one was badly wounded and the other was dead. Unfortunately, the largesse of the CHOP masters did not extend to allowing the police to investigate, and it appears to be unlikely

that the assailants will be apprehended or even identified. The outrage in Seattle is not unique. All across the country, statues are being spray painted, mutilated, set on fire, toppled, and thrown into rivers, by vandals who do not own them, observed by police who do not deter them. At the very least, these statues have substantial monetary value, and are the property of the municipalities in which they stood. If, by a rational and legal process, such as a referendum, it is decided that the citizens would like to have a statue replaced, this should be done in a civilized manner. Instead, we have many of our elected “leaders,” virtually all of whom are Democrats with a capital “D,” choosing to ignore the oath of office to which they solemnly swore and failing to uphold the laws they are required to enforce. Let us hope that the voters remember which is the party that protects their interest, and which is the party that does not. George Altemose Setauket

Things We Can Do Against Ticks Having had encounters with ticks in the past, I understood very well Leah Dunaief’s June 25 editorial entitled “Beastly Bedfellows.” Readers may be interested to

know that such encounters can be minimized by wearing insect-repellent clothing. Such clothing may be found online by searching for “insect shield.” If you wish, you can

purchase an entire outfit, including hats, scarves, shirts, slacks, and socks. Margaret Foster Port Jefferson

Opinion

Believing in the Power of American Innovation

merica was reluctant to enter both World Wars and yet we won them both, at a tremendous cost to previous generations. Today, as we continue to battle through the coronavirus, I’d like to think we will persevere. We don’t need political spin. We have plenty of that from both sides. We need a sense of optimism, of shared purpose and of a keen belief that we will prevail through hard work D. None and a readiness to of the above innovate and adapt. We see so many BY DANIEL DUNAIEF horriﬁc headlines about the number of people who test positive and who are threatening the capacity of health care systems

in Florida and Texas, among others. Even as we do everything we can to protect our health and the safety of our friends and family, we need to believe in ourselves and in our ability to work together. Defeating the virus takes more than ignoring it or claiming victory for political expediency. Whoever wins this presidential election in this incredibly challenging year will have enormous work to do. Even a vaccine that is tested and produced in mass quantities by the early part of next year, which seems spectacularly optimistic but is still possible, doesn’t automatically put us back on the path to the world of 2019. After all, the ﬂu vaccine doesn’t eradicate the illness. It comes back with a vengeance some years. Some people who receive the shot still get sick, oftentimes with less severe symptoms. We need to recognize that the world has changed. We’ve had time to process it and to adjust, even if we’re sick of the new rules. We need to use all the space we have to turn what

seems like a nuisance and an inconvenience into a modern triumph. The country can and should rethink everything from ways to attend sporting events to the specific needs of the home office. Maybe sports stadiums should remove seats, put picnic tables in front of patrons and make the game-time experience for fans look different because, for the foreseeable future, it will be. Yes, I know, that will cost an incredible amount of money, but it would also give patrons a chance to enjoy their own space, instead of hoping for a time machine that brings us back to an era when we gave strangers a high five when our team scored. Maybe waiters and waitresses can provide virtual personalized service, connecting through online services that deliver, via conveyor belt beneath those tables, contactless food to guests. We need to renovate our homes to enjoy the new reality. Maybe we need virtual artwork we can add to our walls, that helps expand our small rooms and that changes at the flick of a

switch. Maybe we also can ﬁgure out ways to create virtual assembly lines, where workers provide their part of a mechanized process from a distance, in a basement, workspace, or outside in their enclosed yards. It may not be as efﬁcient, because someone might have to transport those parts, but those driving opportunities also create jobs for people who become a part of a new, virtual factory. We may want to go back to the way things were, but we need to recognize the realities, and the opportunities, that come from moving forward. Moving on will require us to develop new ideas, create new jobs, and believe in ourselves. We have survived and thrived through challenges before, by pulling together, by innovating, and by tapping into the combination of ingenuity and hard work. People are prepared to put in the effort to earn their own version of the American Dream. We need innovations, new businesses, and inspirations that reignite the economy, while protecting our health.

Happy Birthday to the United States of America!

! say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there, O say, does that star-spangled Between banner yet wave O’er the land you and me of the free and the BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF home of the brave? Yes, that is the first stanza of our national anthem, the star-spangled banner. It has been my experience, at ballgames and other public

gatherings (remember those?) where the anthem has played, that many Americans do not know all the words. In fact, not a lot of the words. In truth, not any of the words beyond the ﬁrst two sentences. Confess: that’s you or your spouse or your children. Now there is always a story behind every creation. In honor of our nation’s upcoming birthday, I thought I would tell you some of the controversial story and remind you of the words of at least the ﬁrst and last of the four stanzas written by Francis Scott Key. So who was Francis Scott Key and how did he come to write these words? Key was a good-looking, rich American lawyer, author and amateur poet who was from Frederick, Maryland. Born August 1, 1779, three years after the start of the Revolutionary War, he lived to be 63, dying at the beginning of 1843. He was married to Mary (“Polly”) Tayloe Lloyd and they had eleven children. Incidentally, F. Scott Fitzgerald was a distant relative. We remember that we learned of Key viewing the attack by the British on Fort McHenry from a ship outside Baltimore during the brief War of 1812, and how he

could not tell, through the dark night, if the fort had fallen to the enemy. But at dawn, when he saw the flag still flying, he was inspired to write the poem in 1814 that was to become our national song. His friends called him “Frank,” which often blended with Key to come out “Frankie.” He had a high profile, having been part of Andrew Jackson’s Kitchen Cabinet, the unofficial advisers who were so influential. He defended a young Sam Houston in court on the latter’s trial over beating up an Ohio congressman. He was U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, and he prosecuted the would-be assassin of President Jackson, who by the way was a Southern slaveholder. Key, as a youth, had almost become an Episcopal priest, helped found two seminaries and wrote about poetry’s influence on religion. He also had a complicated and contradictory relationship with slavery. He personally owned six slaves, though he allegedly opposed the practice and eventually set them all free. Yet he did not do so for the many slaves his wife inherited and who worked the farm that provided much of the family’s income. He represented

slaves for free in court who were trying to win their freedom, yet he was bitterly opposed to the abolitionist movement, and as U.S. district attorney, challenged its efforts. He strongly supported the colonization of former slaves in Africa, helping to found the colony of Liberia. It is no surprise, then, that in the recent rush to tear down statues, his was toppled on Friday, June 19, in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Today we have come to recognize that the imperfect Key is inseparably linked with slavery and pride in our nation. O thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their lov’d homes and the war’s desolation! Bless’d with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!” And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Education

Huntington Drives Into Graduation Huntington High School’s graduation ceremony June 26 was described as “the most surreal commencement in the long history of Huntington High School” on the district’s website and social media. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, a drive-in graduation, complete with a huge screen that was erected for the event near the Oakwood Road side of the high school property, was held on the athletic fields. The ceremony drew nearly 400 cars as the Class of 2020 was celebrated during a 90 minute ceremony that was broadcast on the radio over 87.9 FM. The ceremony began slightly before 9 p.m.and was filled with speeches and music. Class of 2020 faculty advisers Paige Furman

and Kristin Fortunato read off the names of the graduates as photos of each of the nearly 400 seniors flashed on the huge screen to cheers, flashing lights and honking horns. The next day over the course of about seven hours, graduates were dropped off at the high school’s main entrance to the cheers of teachers and district officials. Wearing caps and gowns, the seniors walked on a blue carpet into the building and down a decorated hallway where they picked up their respective diploma and then posed for photos outdoors before departing with their parents. To maintain proper distancing, a schedule was devised to spread the 400 members out over the morning and afternoon hours. — Photos from Huntington school district website
