Change is in the air at Northport-East Northport schools. School board Trustee Andrew Rapiejko, a five-year incumbent who served as vice president, was sworn in as the board’s president at its reorganizational meeting on Wednesday, following a nomination by departing president, Julia Binger, and an 8-1 vote. Trustee Regina Pisacani was the lone vote against the appointment. Newly re-elected Trustee David Badanes was nominated and voted vice president of the board — but not without an unsuccessful attempt by Pisacani rEorganiZation continued on page a12

A new leader has taken the helm of the Huntington school board. Trustee Tom DiGiacomo was unanimously voted the president of the school board at the board’s reorganizational meeting on Monday evening. Trustee Xavier Palacios nominated him for the position, and Trustee Bari Fehrs seconded his nomination. Trustee Jennifer Hebert maintained her position as vice president of the board. DiGiacomo succeeds incumbent President Emily Rogan, a nine-year member of the board, who has held the leadership role for four years. After his appointment as president, DiGiacomo publicly thanked Rogan for her leadership, noting she’d “done an excellent job in helping our district improve.” He noted, at one point, that he had “big shoes” to fill. When reached by phone on Wednesday, Rogan said she supported DiGiacomo. “I think he will do a terrific job,” she said. “Tom has my support 100 percent. Did I still want to be president? I would have gladly been president. There were trustees on the board who wanted a change.” In an interview after the meeting, DiGiacomo spoke brief ly about his

appointment. “I’m honored and privileged that my fellow trustees have nominated me and made me president.” Newly elected Trustee Christine Biernacki also took an oath of office at Monday night’s meeting, along with several other school officials, including Superintendent Jim Polansky and District Clerk Joanne Miranda.

Adam Spector’s memory lives on at Jack Abrams School auditorim dedicated in honor of late advocate as family members, former colleagues pay him tribute By Rohma aBBas

The memory of the late Adam Spector will live on at the Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School. On Monday night, friends and family of Spector, who lost a battle with cancer last year, gathered to dedicate the school’s auditorium to him and to tell stories about a man who endeared many at a venue for which he cared deeply. There was hardly a dry eye among Spector’s colleagues. “I think about Adam every single day,” said Jennifer Hebert, vice president of the Huntington board of education. “There’s not a day that goes by that he’s not in my heart.” Huntington Superintendent Jim Polansky’s voice broke as he offered personal words about Spector. He said when he first got to know Spector, the two had no idea they grew up in the same hometown. Polansky jokingly said he recently flipped through his high school yearbook to find Spector in it, “featured more prominently” than he was. “Adam was always one to keep me on my toes with his questions and most im-

portantly his enduring sense of humor,” Polansky said. “It was always apparent that he loved Huntington and that this school district had a very special place in his heart. He was one of the strongest people I ever met.” Other school board trustees also offered touching words. “He was my enzyme, my catalyst into being involved in the board of education,” Trustee Xavier Palacios said, his voice breaking. “His spirit will always live here. I’ll never forget what he taught me.” Meredith Spector, Adam Spector’s wife, said renaming the auditorium was a fitting tribute to her husband, who always wanted to see the school reopened after it was shuttered several years ago following a rash of crime in the area. Spector made reopening Jack Abrams one of the main thrusts of his campaign for school board. She called the board’s decision to reopen the school as a STEM school “turning lemons into lemonade,” and something Spector was greatly honored to be a part of. “It’s truly an honor and Adam would be so happy,” she said in an interview before the meeting. “He was so happy

and proud to be part of the board of ed and such a great team. They turned what was a bad situation, the closing of Jack Abrams Intermediate, into something so wonderful, the STEM school.” The new name of the auditorium, the

Adam Spector Memorial Auditorium, is affixed in bold letters to a brick wall outside the auditorium. In a celebratory gesture, family members flanked by a group of people ripped the protective covering off the brand new sign.

Teachers in the Huntington school district understand how lucky they are to have a support system like HFEE that allows them to come forward with creative ideas that often receive funding. “It’s huge,” Maryann Daly, an employee of the Huntington school district for 33 years, said about the support both financially and creatively that she receives from HFEE. She estimated that she has personally written about $60,000 worth of grants over the years. “It’s what the association between parents and teachers is all about,” she said.

Passengers jump ship after rowboat struck By VictoRia EspiNoza

A pair of siblings jumped out of a rowboat moments before a 22-foot vessel struck it in Asharoken last Friday. Asharoken Village police responded to a boat collision in Duck Island Harbor on July 3 at 3:45 p.m. involving a MasterCraft boat that, while towing two water boarders, struck the rowboat, according to Steve Silverman, a

spokesman for the police. The rowboat was severely damaged and partially sank following the collision. According to Silverman, the operator of the MasterCraft boat, Stephen Plackis of Huntington, was issued two summonses, one for operating a vessel without an Asharoken Village water ski permit, and one for unsafe boat operation. Attempts to reach Plackis on Monday were unsuccessful.

Plackis took aboard the passengers of the rowboat, a boy and a girl from Asharoken, after the collision. They were able to retrieve the submerged boat and tow it to shore. The Northport Fire Department Rescue Squad transported the male in the rowboat to Huntington Hospital for observation, where he was later released. Plackis, his four passengers and two wakeboarders were uninjured.

Former Northport-East Northport school board trustee Joe sabia.

Former trustee questions school HR official’s salary By Rohma aBBas

A former Northport-East Northport school board trustee is calling the group’s decision to shell out $935 a day for an interim assistant superintendent for human resources “absurd.” The board at its June 15 meeting, voted to appoint Lou Curra as its interim assistant superintendent for human resources from June 17 through Dec. 23 to replace former assistant superintendent Rosemarie Coletti, who resigned on June 30 to take another job. Curra didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment on Monday, but Joe Sabia, who served on the school board from 2011 to 2014, took to the microphone at a meeting on July 1 to tell board members he and others in the community felt that $935 a day was too high, and that the district should have hired someone from within. “They think that you’re pushing the envelope too far against the homeowners — the taxpayers of this district — to bring in an interim,” he said. School board members, however, countered that the appointment is not long-term and that the board needed to find someone with the right skill set to assist new Superintendent Robert Banzer. “That is a per diem appointment with no vacation time, no sick time, no benefits,” Trustee Julia Binger told Sabia. “… And also, we needed somebody who was very experienced, because we have a new superintendent on board, and we need to have somebody very solid, who really understands human resources and collective bargaining and so on.” Board President Andrew Rapiejko said that for human resources, this is the busiest time of the year. “We are in the process of soliciting resumes for permanent person to take over that and hopefully we’ll have someone on board in relatively short order,” he said.

A routine speeding stop in Huntington yielded much greater results over the holiday weekend when Suffolk County police arrested Bay Shore man Mohamed Khan for driving while intoxicated, among other charges, authorities said. Suffolk County Police Highway Patrol Officer Robert Scudellari initially flashed his lights behind Khan, 42, for speeding on the eastbound Long Island Expressway between exits 51 and 52 around 1:50 a.m. on July 3, police said. The officer soon learned that Khan, who was driving a 2013 Kia, was also under the influence of alcohol and his license had been revoked, the Suffolk County Police Department said. Police also said the man was in violation of his New York State driver’s license restriction that he operate a motor vehicle only if it is equipped with an ignition interlock device, cops said. Khan was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and operating a motor vehicle without an interlock device, police said. He was also charged with criminal contempt in the second degree for violating a court order that stipulated he refrain

Scientists take to shores to save horseshoe crabs Activists, politicians, volunteers taking closer look at declining population of Long Island’s ocean life By Alex Petroski

Horseshoe crabs have been on Earth for almost 500 million years, but their future is uncertain. Researchers like Matt Sclafani, a marine educator from the Cornell Cooperative Extension in Riverhead, said he believes that the species is in an alarming decline. “It’s a very important issue for a lot of reasons,” Sclafani said during a horseshoe crab monitoring session at West Meadow beach in Stony Brook one recent night. Horseshoe crabs are a valuable species to human life, Sclafani said. Their blue blood is used for pharmaceutical purposes. Fishermen use them as one of the most effective sources of bait that exists. Sclafani called Delaware Bay the epicenter for horseshoe crab spawning activity, with Long Island coming in as a close second as one of the most important areas to the species on the East Coast, he said. Sclafani and his team of volunteers take to the local shores when the tides are low, usually in the middle of the night, to count and tag horseshoe crabs that come up to the shore to spawn. On Monday, Sclafani was joined by Frank Chin, the regular site coordinator for West Meadow beach, along with Grace Scalzo, a volunteer, and Karen Papa and her sons — 12-year-old Zachary and 8-year-old Jonah. “We get a lot of volunteers for this program,” Sclafani said. “That’s the part I think is really great, too. We get people involved in their backyards. There’s not a lot of marine life that you can get involved with and handle this directly — that comes right out onto the beach for you without a net or fishing pole.” In all, the team tagged 55 horseshoe

crabs over the course of the night, though that is nothing compared to the night on the South Shore when Sclafani said he and a team of about 35 volunteers tagged about 800 crabs. The process requires measurement, drilling a small hole into the shell, and then applying a round tag that has tracking information on it which is recorded. “I think the entire population up and down the East Coast is in trouble,” Larry Swanson, associate dean of the Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, said of the horseshoe crab population in a recent interview. “It’s in trouble for a variety of reasons including people overfishing the population, but also certain birds, including the red knot, are particularly prone to using them as a food source.” Sclafani said the consequences could be dire, if the crabs are not saved. “Their eggs are really important to the ecosystem,” Sclafani said. “A lot of animals feed on them, including migratory shore birds.” Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) divulged plans to urge the Department of Environmental Conservation to expand restrictions on harvesting horseshoe crabs in May, to the chagrin of fishermen. Those plans have since been tabled. “I’m just a man, but I’m a vital part of the food chain and I think I’m at the top,” Ron Bellucci Jr. of Sound Beach said in an interview last month. Horseshoe crab harvesting is a vital part of his income, he said. Local fishermen have also questioned the validity of claims about the declining population. The idea that the species may not be declining is not an encouraging sign to Malcolm Bowman, professor of physical oceanography and distinguished service professor at SoMAS, Stony

Brook. He is also the president of Stony Brook Environmental Conservancy and the Friends of Flax Pond, two environmental advocacy groups. “We know in nature that things go up and down, and up and down, but you have to look at long-term trends; 10 years, 20 years,” Bowman said in an interview last week. “I’ve worked with fishermen a lot. They have to make a living, I understand that, but it’s important to keep communications between the scientists and say the fishermen with mutual respect, and that way we can learn a lot from them. We scientists are trained to have a long-term view. It’s not just this season, this summer, this breeding season. It’s a long-term view. I think that’s so important.” More restricted areas, which Romaine is pushing for, could simply result in overharvesting in areas without restrictions, both Bowman and Sclafani said. There has also been some experimentation with extracting the blue blood while

the animal is still alive, then rereleasing them into the water. This process is called biomedical harvesting. “That’s becoming a more and more controversial topic,” Sclafani said. “The biomedical companies have maintained that it’s a low mortality rate — about 10 percent … they might even be as high as 40 or 50 percent.” He also mentioned that there are concerns about the horseshoe crabs’ spawning activity after this process is completed. Bowman stopped short of saying that the extinction of the horseshoe crab would have a drastic impact on human life, but it’s not a good sign. “I was reading some very important news that’s coming out about the extinction of species on the planet,” Bowman said. “Species are going extinct at a huge rate. The cumulative effect is going to have a very bad effect on human civilization, far greater than we can imagine. We only see a little piece of it.”

Panelists tackle pollution at Suffolk water forum By Talia amorosano

After a month of increased algal blooms, reduced water quality data and two of the most severe fish kills that the county has ever experienced, Long Island scientists, elected officials and agency heads have decided that it is past time — yet about time — to address the issue of harmful nitrogen pollution in our waterways. Hosted by the New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, a forum on water pollution in Suffolk County was held at Stony Brook University’s Charles B. Wang Center on June 23 to identify the core causes of nitrogen pollution and brainstorm functional, cost-effective technological solutions. In his welcome address, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) emphasized the gravity of the nitrogen pollution problem. “This problem wasn’t created overnight, and it won’t be solved overnight,” he said. “Big challenges like this won’t be solved in election cycles.” However, he mentioned that he has noticed signs of progress. “To see this group all coming together, saying we’re going to work to solve this problem, gives me great hope and optimism that we have actually turned the corner and we are now on the road to addressing our water quality issues in a real way.” At the forefront of the technical and technological sides of this progress are panelists Walter Dawydiak, director of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, Amanda Ludlow, a scientist at Roux Associates Inc., Theresa McGovern, a water resources engineer at VHB and Harold Walker, a professor of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University.

Dawydiak identified unsewered septic flow as the main source of the nitrogen problem. “Nitrogen, which we expected to level off, is not leveling off,” he said. He noted that 85 percent of unsewered septic flow originates from residential areas. “The elephant in the room is us,” he continued. “It’s the residential flow.” He referred to the issue as a “nonpoint source pollution problem,” and said that a change in health department standards for residential wastewater treatment — for the first time in 40 years — could mitigate the problem by regulating the installation, operation, and maintenance of septic systems. He referred to this proposed set of regulations as an example of policy driving the technology to where it needs to be. “We need better technology in this area,” Walker said. “If we’re going to solve this problem, we need to expand the tool box that we have available...we need to think about systems operating effectively for as long as possible, with little or no maintenance. That’s the challenge.” Ludlow said she agreed, and emphasized the importance of implementing systems that treat nitrogen and other pollutants, like pharmaceuticals and hormones, on the 360,000 homes, which are currently on old systems. “Focus on technologies that affect all the constituents in our wastewater,” she said. McGovern stressed that a holistic yet specific approach to wastewater management would make these improvements possible. “We need to be consistent and science-based with the targets, yet still allow some flexibility,” she said. She suggested setting a universal — instead of concentration-based — limit on amount

of nitrogen allowed to remain in wastewater, while allowing households that consistently perform under that limit increased wastewater flow. Of course, implementing new technologies and creating new oversight boards costs money. During the second panel discussion regarding funding proposals, David Calone, president of Jove Equity Partners LLC and co-chair of Suffolk Planning Commission, suggested using Hurricane Sandy recovery money to build watersheds to improve storm-water drainage and prevent sewage from entering waterways. Dorian Dale, director of sustainability and chief recovery officer for Suffolk County, noted that, though the $16 million of Sandy relief money would cover some of the cost for improvements, it could not provide the minimum $8 billion necessary to address 360,000 septic systems. He expressed that changing the tax

on drinking water from a base price to one that reflects household usage could help close this gap. Calone brought up the possibility of reaching out for federal funding, putting in sewers to promote economic development, expanding the role of the Community Preservation Fund to cover nitrogen leaching issues, and increasing the cap on private activity bonds to spur work on water quality issues. “Involving the private sector is where we’ve shown a lot of leadership on Long Island,” said Anna Throne-Holst, Southampton Town supervisor. “It has to be a public/ private partnership.” The panelists were optimistic about Suffolk County’s ability to undertake this project. “The last sewer project, 40 years ago, was rife with cesspool corruption,” Dale said. “I don’t think anybody’s going to have time for the shenanigans of the past.”

HISTORY

Union won crucial battle on nation’s bday ‘Until this moment, I never thought your expedition a success — I never could see the end clearly, until now.’

By Rich AcRitelli

Independence Day commemorates the birth of our nation as well as a day when the Union Army notched a huge victory during the Civil War. It was a July 4 more than 150 years ago that saw some of the most serious fighting ever to take place on U.S. soil. President Abraham Lincoln wanted desperately to end the Civil War and preserve the Union. By mid-1863, the only way to accomplish that goal was to destroy the southern will to fight. Lincoln’s most important leader was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, who in 1861 was a shop clerk in his family’s store in Illinois. Nobody, including Grant, could have foreseen his quick rise from obscurity to one of the best fighting figures the nation ever produced. During the war, Lincoln grew increasingly bitter toward the officers tasked with attacking the South. He detested Gen. George B. McClellan and later fired him for his unwillingness to crush the rebellion in Northern Virginia. For two years, the Army of the Potomac became a revolving door for other officers who failed to defeat Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Lincoln had a limited military background, serving as a captain during the Black Hawk War between the U.S. and Native Americans three decades earlier, but took his job as commander-in-chief seriously. One of his most important decisions was keeping Grant as the head of the Army of the Tennessee after the 1862 Battle of Shiloh and in the face of rumors that Grant was an alcoholic and unable to carry out his duties. Grant’s rise to commanding general

began during the Battle of Vicksburg. Vicksburg was known as the “Gibraltar of the Confederacy” and the “citadel” on the Mississippi River. Early in the Civil War, Grant understood taking that location would divide the Confederacy, open the river to Union naval and commerce shipping and prevent resources from reaching Lee in Northern Virginia. Grant was determined to destroy it. In April 1863, he saw he would only gain a victory by moving his army south and attacking Vicksburg on the same side of the Mississippi held by the enemy. This was a risky decision — one that could win or lose the war in the West. The campaign involved Grant cutting off his own supply and communication lines, with he and his men living off the land using the lessons he learned while fighting in the MexicanAmerican War. If he and his fellow soldiers

could survive in the deserts and heat of Mexico, the Civil War fighters could do the same with the hearty agriculture, cattle and poultry resources in Mississippi. On April 16, with his wife and youngest son Frederick next to him, Grant ordered a naval flotilla of gunboats and barges to make the perilous journey south. The Confederacy opened up its vast armaments but failed to destroy the ships, and Grant turned his gamble into a string of victories that led to the demise of Vicksburg. Through July 4, Lincoln watched in amazement as the general decisively drove against the enemy. When one politician suggested the operation was a failure and that Grant was again drinking too much, Lincoln retorted that Grant was engaged in some of the most serious and successful fighting the world had ever known. It was a cunning campaign to operate

within the Confederacy. Southern Gens. Joseph E. Johnston and John C. Pemberton both commanded larger forces but under the attack of Grant’s Union Army were unable to combine their forces in battle. In Washington, D.C., Lincoln watched Grant take Jackson, Miss., the home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, thereby cutting off the supply, communication and transportation links that supported Vicksburg. In late May 1863, Grant began a 48-day siege that trapped Pemberton, a native of Pennsylvania, and his forces on the Mississippi River. By July 4, Pemberton’s men were starving and had lost their morale; they surrendered. On our nation’s birthday, Grant took 31,000 Confederate soldiers as prisoners of war, and seized 172 cannons and 60,000 rifles. Church bells rang out in northern cities to celebrate the Army of the Tennessee’s efforts to finally take Vicksburg in one of the most vital campaigns of the war, on the road to reuniting America.

Clockwise David Stein, Tammie Topel and David Badanes take oaths of office.

One of Daly’s favorite grants was funded by HFEE in 2004. The $15,200 grant replaced the district’s old Starlab, or a portable planetarium, with a brand new one. Another program, which started in 2004 and continued through 2014, allowed fourth-grade students to receive two one-hour lessons from the New York Hall of Science in preparation for a standardized test. “The Huntington Foundation is absolutely amazing,” Tracey McManus, a teacher at Jack Abrams and an employee of the district for 15 years, said in an email this week. “They have helped me incorporate such unbelievable experiences for my students.” McManus cited a grant for an incubator used to hatch ducks and a grant in 2014 for the pond where she later saw ducks swimming as a couple of her favorite projects funded by HFEE. Brian Reynolds, an employee of the

Huntington school district for 25 years and a current technology teacher at the high school, fondly remembered the “smile from ear to ear” on a student who won a car race on a track for CO2 cars in front of his entire lunch period. He said the boy was virtually skipping through the halls for days after. Reynolds said it was the first thing the boy ever won in his life. “It is a very exciting year for the Huntington Foundation for Excellence in Education,” Cassar said, looking forward to the 2015-16 school year. “We are all so thrilled to pass the $1 million mark in what we have funded for the school district.” The foundation offers a few different types of grants to teachers in the district for special classroom enhancement projects, in addition to one $1,000 scholarship for a graduating senior and one scholarship for a lucky sixth-grader interested in a three-day environmental camp, according to the HFEE website.

to nominate newcomer Trustee David Stein to the slot. Her motion to do so failed to gain support, and Badanes was unanimously appointed. The July 1 meeting was the district’s first with new Superintendent Robert Banzer at the helm. Banzer, along with Stein, recently re-elected Trustee Tammie Topel, Badanes, District Clerk Beth Nystrom and new audit committee member Edward Kevorkian were all officially sworn in. In his remarks to the community, Rapiejko called it a “critical year” for the district, and pointedly addressed what he called a divide on the board. “The elephant in the room is this split on the board,” he said While the board typically votes unanimously on most items, Rapiejko said in a Thursday phone interview that the community perceives a divide on the school board. Those differences among board members have given rise to tensions that began under the administration of former Superintendent Marylou McDermott, he said. “The former superintendent is out of the equation now,” he said in his speech

on Wednesday. “And I’m looking forward and to move on. I think we have to move forward and it’s critical we do that.” He urged the school community to respect each other and said it is the board’s responsibility to set that tone of respect. In a phone interview, he said he was heartened that his appointment earned almost unanimous support, which hasn’t been the norm at reorganizational meetings in recent years past. “We can disagree, we can have very strong opinions, but there’s a way to do it and a way to do it respectfully,” he said.

Clockwise from above, Huntington relay members Kyree Johnson, Scott Gulizio, Infinite Tucker and Shane McGuire; Alexandra Koumas leaps over the hurdles; Infinite Tucker is one of the country’s top hurdlers; and Gulizio leads the pack.

Blue Devils end strong season at nationals Track & Field The Blue Devils’ expectations are running so high that even when a race ends in All-American honors it’s no guarantee that Huntington boys’ track and field team members and their coaches are going to be happy. Huntington has built a national reputation over the last 24 months, so when the Blue Devils recently trekked all the way to the New Balance Nationals Outdoor in Greensboro, N.C., they wanted to win. After a successful state meet, in which all five of the Blue Devil athletes that made the Section XI state team garnered All-State honors, the

Huntington stars qualified for the national meet. In Greensboro, the Blue Devils’ 4x400-meter relay team of Infinite Tucker, Kyree Johnson, Shane McGuire and Scott Gulizio was coming off running a time of 3 minutes, 16.73 seconds in the state meet, which put them in the top section at the national meet. Seeded No. 7 in a field of 29 relay teams, Huntington struggled in the scorching heat, finishing 11th overall in 3:19. “They had hoped to come and run 3:15 or better, but the young team will have to wait till next year to do so,” Huntington head coach Ron Wilson said. On the first day of nationals, Huntington’s 1,600 sprint medley relay team of Johnson, Tucker, Gulizio and Exzayvian Crowell found themselves up against some of best young athletes in the country. The race consists of the first and second legs each running 200 meters, the third leg running 400 and the anchor leg covering 800. “Johnson took off like a cannon and was well out in front, however, when handing off to Crowell, a mishap left the baton bouncing on the track,” Wilson said. “Crowell quickly turned around picked up the baton, ran and passed it off to Tucker, who gave it his all and caught up to most of the field.” Gulizio passed a couple of runners on his final lap to finish the race in 3:27, placing Hun-

tington fifth overall to capture All-American honors. “Their time is the best run by any team in the state,” Wilson said. “We would have run 3:23 [had the baton not fallen], which would have been good enough for the national title and a new meet record. At first, the kids were down on themselves, but they hadn’t known that they were still All-American.” In other action, Gulizio placed third in the Emerging Elite 800 run in 1:53.06, which set a new

Blue Devils record. The senior’s split of 1:51.29 from the sprint medley would have won the event, “but the heat was a bit too much,” Wilson said. Tucker finished fourth in the championship division of the 400 hurdles, clocking in with a time of 52.63 seconds. “What was nice was the commentators were saying that the junior Infinite Tucker looks to be the next king to sit on the throne of the intermediate hurdles,” Wilson said. The top three plac-

ers in the event were seniors. Tucker also competed in the championship division 110 high hurdles where he ran 14.42 seconds to place 14th. “As you can see, not everything went our way, but at least we got away with some AllAmerican honors and some medals,” Wilson said. Several members of the Huntington girls’ track team also traveled to the nationals, but without Blue Devils star Suzie Petryk, the group was below full strength. “Unfortunately, the nationals didn’t go exactly as planned, but we still had a great experience,” Huntington head coach Shawn Anderson said. “Suzie Petryk twisted her ankle the evening before we left, so she didn’t make the trip.” Anna Gulizio, Latoya Shand, Alexandra Koumas and Katie Nugent laid it on the line in the 1,600 sprint medley relay and the 4x400 relay. The team finished 30th in the sprint relay in a season-best time of 4:17 and 14th in the 4x400 in 4:01. “Overall, it was a nice experience to end a fantastic season, so they were really thrilled with it,” Anderson said. These young athletes are looking forward to improving upon their results next season. “Despite the heat, we ran a good race,” Koumas said. “We were really excited to get the opportunity to compete here. Our goal is to make it back here next year and do even better.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

Watching our waters

Summer is in full effect, and if there is one unifying trait that many of us share across this Island, it is our attraction to the shorelines when the sun is shining. But let us float a reminder to our readers as we take to the water. It seems as if our newsroom has been flooded with reports of emergency responders braving the waves to save others. This week alone, we ran two serious aquatic accidents stemming from a rowboat colliding with another, much larger, vessel in Asharoken, and three kayakers who had to be rescued after being unable to get back to shore in Fort Salonga. These are prime examples of waterrelated mishaps we could easily avoid, if we took the proper precautions. So let’s wade through some simple solutions. The North Shore’s own Dr. James

Vosswinkel, of Stony Brook Medicine, said he and his team treat more patients with injuries related to drowning or boating accidents during the summer than any other time of year. Most of these accidents, he said in his warning, could have been blocked by the simplest of safety measures. To keep young children safe around the water, Long Islanders can do things like designate someone to keep a constant vigilant eye on the young swimmers and install physical barriers or pool alarms to notify adults if kids accidentally fall in. For adults, doing things like never swimming alone, staying to predesignated areas of oceans or lakes, and never swimming under the influence of drugs or alcohol could do wonders to the rush of water-related incidents that wash through our news feeds. For boaters, avoiding things like drugs and alcohol should go without saying. Taking advantage of the various boating safety courses being offered in our community could also be of great help. Our own state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-

File photo

Port Jefferson) has been pushing a free online boating course available through the state parks department website. Similar safety courses related to swimming and first aid are also available. Our proximity to the water is one of our most coveted perks of living on an island in the summer, but with that also

comes great responsibility. There are enough threats that are more or less are out of our hands, like shark sightings, riptides or even a Portuguese man-ofwar sting. The least we can, and should, do as beachgoers and water lovers is take the necessary steps to make sure we can all enjoy these perks safely.

Be safe, wear a helmet

A view of Woodbury Road, which runs through Huntington and Cold Spring Harbor

Slow down, not just on Woodbury Road TO ThE EDITOR: Thank you to town board member Susan Berland (D) for leading the effort to rationally address the speeding problem on Woodbury Road by retaining traffic experts to study the issue and make recommendations based on the evidence and best practices (“Amid resident protest, engineers call for few Woodbury Road changes,” June 18). The results of the study were presented at Town hall on June 15. The study confirmed what we all knew: drivers routinely exceed the 30 mph speed limit on the 2.5-mile stretch of Woodbury Road from Main Street to West Pulaski Road. The typical

speed is from 45 to 49 miles an hour, saving drivers about a minute and a half. Yes, Woodbury Road is a major thoroughfare. Most of us who live here understand and accept that. That doesn’t mean people should speed, nor does it mean that we should take steps that would destroy the rural character of the road. The traffic engineers recommended a series of measures — such as narrowing lane widths, improved signage, and rumble strips — that should help to slow people down without destroying the road’s character. As someone who has lived on one of the intersections most closely studied basically my

entire life, I am glad that the consultants did not recommend stop signs or traffic lights. Such measures would have irreparably altered the nature of the road without solving the problem of excessive speeding. The answer is for people to obey the posted speed limit, especially in wet weather, which is when more than 50 percent of the accidents occur. That means that all of us have to slow down, not only on Woodbury Road, but on all our roads. For those not willing to cooperate, we need consistent enforcement by Suffolk County police. Robert C. hughes Cold Spring harbor

TO THE EDITOR: I’m a little late sending you my little reminder about expanding the helmet laws for bicycle, skateboards, Rollerblades, etc. I really believe that anybody that rides on anything with two wheels should be mandated by their insurance company, the state and any other powers that be, to wear a helmet. I’d like to see a helmet company that makes a helmet with Spock ears and a propeller, but I am just happy when I see helmets being used. I pulled a guy over on Cedar Street in Stony Brook when the baby that he had on the back of the bicycle had a helmet and he didn’t, and I reminded him that the success rate with brain injuries is very poor. I looked like

a nut job, but I can’t stress enough that helmet laws are not strict enough — they’re now for kids under 14 but they should be for everybody. Thank you. Catherine M. Serdock Rocky Point

The big matter of leaving our comfort zone

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

W

hen does what we do matter? More importantly, how do we handle the moments that matter? Each day, we go through so many activities that are so mundane as to require little to no concentration. We can walk to a deli, order a sandwich, nod at someone familiar on the street and engage in a conversation

with our boss on a cellphone. We have become incredibly adept at multitasking, making it so much easier not to focus on any one activity or even thought. We are not exactly grand masters of chess, thinking several moves ahead to gain an advantage over an ingenious opponent. We allow ourselves to wade through a pool of activities and decisions that are a collection of loose change jingling in our pockets. But then there are those days, hours or moments that turn the ordinary into something filled with so much electricity that the muscles in our legs that hold us up threaten to buckle. The thrilling and terrifying collide in our minds. Something real is at stake and the outcome isn’t predetermined, at least not as far as we know. We need these moments that matter, even if they make our mouths dry, send pinpricks to our fingers and make us feel as

if we can suddenly sense the rotation of the Earth. Why? How does leaving our comfort zone help? Well, for starters, it reminds us of who we are and what we want. Yes, she might say “no” and yes, we might not pass our driver’s test. So what? If this is what we want, the only mistake would be avoiding trying to get what we want because we might not get it. It’s easy to believe we are not ready or that we are not good enough. Why not roll up our sleeves and give it a shot? Maybe if we could convert all that energy and anxiety into something else, we’d feel empowered by big moments. Those pinpricks in our fingers might make them even faster and more nimble than we could imagine, allowing us to play the piano more efficiently than we ever have, while that racing heart and dry tongue could be just the kind of internal obstacles we need to overcome to

believe in ourselves. When these telltale signs return, they might become familiar companions on the road to something bigger and better. Butterflies feel strange in our stomachs because they give us the sensation we don’t get when we turn the ignition on for our car, when we pick up the phone and dial a number we know by heart or when we walk down a familiar hallway at work to hear our colleagues share views they have constantly offered for years. Maybe we need a few more butterflies in our lives. We need to feel something unusual and exciting, something bigger and brighter and something that shakes us up. Maybe we need to imagine seeing those butterflies outside of our stomachs and fluttering around us. While we take for granted that those butterflies are a sign of nerves, they are also an interesting choice. Butterflies fall in the same category as bunnies.

Why not roll up our sleeves and give it a shot?

We like them. If we can somehow imagine them fluttering just outside us, circling a room or a field, we can breathe deeply in the moment. When we look back on any given year, we can gain a new appreciation and perspective on these opportunities. They may not only define a time, but they may also help remind us that our lives are not just about the ordinary — they are about embracing and conquering the moments that matter.

An incredible life of courage and humanity

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

W

hen I come across a wonderful story, I like to share it with you, and so I will tell you today about a Briton named Nicholas Winton. You probably don’t recognize his name because he told no one about his extraordinary deeds, not even his wife. It was only after she found a scrapbook, in the attic of their home in 1988, that the world began to learn of his courage and humanity defying Hitler on the eve of World War II. Winton was a London stock-

broker in December 1938 and about to go to Switzerland on a ski vacation when a friend, who was aiding refugees in the newly annexed Czechoslovakia, urged him to come to Prague. There, Winton found huge numbers of refugees, who were trying to escape Hitler, living in “appalling conditions,” according to The New York Times obituary on July 2 that told of Winton’s life. There was little hope of escape for those on the run because other countries had closed their borders, especially to Jewish immigration, except for a unique effort that was mounted by Britain. Kindertransport was an attempt to rescue unaccompanied Jewish children up to the age of 17 if they had a host family willing to accept them. The Refugee Children’s Movement in Britain reached into Germany and Austria and according to The Times, some 10,000 children were saved before the war began. There was no equivalent effort made in Czechoslovakia, despite the clear danger evidenced by such horrors as Kristallnacht — the “Night of Broken Glass” —

that had shortly before Winton’s trip struck Jewish shops, homes and synagogues in Germany and Austria, As Winton said in a Times interview in 2001, “One saw the problem there, that a lot of these children were in danger, and you had to get them to what was called a safe haven, and there was no organization to do that.” That is what Winton did: He created an operation that worked with furious speed, racing against the murderous rampage of the Nazi war machine. The modest stockbroker, albeit from a blueblooded background, cleverly used every means at his disposal, including “dangers, bribes, forgery, secret contacts with the Gestapo, nine railroad trains, an avalanche of paperwork and a lot of money,” as described in the obit. The volunteers called themselves the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia, Children’s Section and received aid from the Refugee Children’s Movement. They made appeals in newspaper ads, also church and synagogue bulletins, for host families and money in Britain, and in

Prague “cultivated the chief of the Gestapo, Karl Bömelburg — they called him ‘the criminal rat’ after his inspector’s rank of kriminalrat — and arranged for forged transit papers and bribes to be passed to key Nazi and Czech railway officials, who threatened to halt trains or seize the children unless they were paid off,” according to The Times. As word spread and desperate parents brought their children to a rented storefront office, the long lines attracted Gestapo attention. “Perilous confrontations were resolved with bribes,” according to The Times. When the money ran out, Winton used his own. Can you imagine the searing pain involved with giving up your children to strangers? “Winton’s Children” numbered 669 lives saved. The survivors include the film director Karel Reisz — “Saturday Night and “Sunday Morning” (1960), “Isadora” (1968) and “The French Lieutenant’s Woman” (1981) — and other celebrities. Today there are some 6,000 descendants. Winton was a most reluctant hero, not wishing to have his wife, LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz

Sir Nicholas Winton was a most reluctant hero. Grete Gjelstrup, a Dane he married in 1948, tell anyone. She gave the scrapbook to a Holocaust historian, and then newspaper articles, books, television programs and movies ensued. He was showered with honors, knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003, astonished all the while at the fuss being made. Sir Nicholas Winton was the son of a merchant banker of German-Jewish origin who had converted to Christianity. He had grown up in a safe and comfortable world of privilege, yet readily risked it all to help others in dire peril. He would serve as a Royal Air Force officer in the war, and later worked for refugee organizations and a charity that assisted the elderly. For all his exceptional efforts, he was richly rewarded with a long life. He died last week at the age of 106.
