Town: A pair of powerful victories

Huntington wins two cases against lipa By RoHmA ABBAs

Huntington Town is touting two court decisions boosting its case against the Long Island Power Authority in an ongoing challenge over the assessment of the Northport power plant and the amount the utility pays in property taxes on the facility. The decisions, issued by State Supreme Court Justice John C. Bivona, were dated earlier this month and received by the town’s special counsel on Sept. 25. The first decision dismissed LIPA’s standing as a plaintiff in the case, since National Grid, and not LIPA, owns the plant, according to the decision. The second decision granted a stay in the assessment case until there is a final court determination of the town’s argument that

National Grid should be held to a 1997 pledge by LIPA not to challenge the plant’s assessment. So far, the town has won pretrial decisions in that case, according to a town statement. LIPA is suing Huntington Town to recover some $270 million in property taxes it paid since 2010, arguing the aging Northport power plant facility is grossly over-assessed. Northport-East Northport school district is also a party in the lawsuit. If LIPA wins, Huntington Town taxpayers could see a 15 percent increase in town property taxes and a 60 percent increase in school taxes, according to the town’s website. The judge dismissed LIPA’s standing as a party initiating tax certiorari proceedings. In one of lipa continued on page a13

Spotlighting pit bulls Spay, neuter fees waived at Little Shelter this month By ViCtoRiA ESPinozA

Huntington residents will have spaying, neutering, and adoption fees for pit bulls waived from Oct. 1 until Oct. 31 in recognition of National Pit Bull Awareness month. Arleen Leone, the special programs manager of Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center in Huntington, believes that every day should be pit bull awareness day. “They are gentle, sweet loving dogs,” Leone said in a phone interview. “There is a huge need for education, and on a daily basis we try to bring awareness to these dogs.” Leone said that Little Shelter has many different education programs. In one program, Leone said the shelter staff travel to approximately 100 schools a year and try to educate kids on how to handle themselves around different dogs. They also discuss the importance of spaying and neutering. “They think they are pocket poodles,” Leone said of pit bulls. “All they want is

love and affection.” According to Leone, pit bulls were originally bred to be family dogs, however over the course of time, people began to breed them as fighting dogs. This “ruined the breed” and it’s why there is a need for much education about the animals. The shelter said they had a pit bull named Penny who took more than a year to get adopted because “she looked like something she was not.” Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) offered town board resolutions at the Sept. 16 Huntington Town Board meeting to waive the fees in recognition of the month. “Anytime we can help lower the amount of animals we have housed in shelter, regardless of the breed, is a good thing,” Berland said in a phone interview. Berland said that it is important to be smart about what kind of animal you chose to adopt and what type of household you’re bringing it into. Although Berland does not own any pit bulls, some of her friends do, and she said they are “totally friendly and adorable.”

Twenty-seven parents emailed the school board saying that the current state of the schools facilities was “embarrassing” and could be a “safety hazard.” The school board approved the formation of the committee in March, made up of 15 district residents and spearheaded by Pisacani. Aside from inspections and evaluations of the athletic facilities in the district, the committee was also charged with determining the costs of their recommended repairs and analyzing outside funding opportunities to pay for the upgrades.

Gateway plan gets Huntington Town’s green light Renaissance Downtowns cleared to move ahead By roHma aBBas

Huntington Station’s revitalization took one step forward on Sept. 16, as the Huntington Town Board approved the Huntington Station Gateway Plan at its monthly meeting. The plan is the environmental review encompassing three sites slated for redevelopment by Renaissance Downtowns — the town’s master developer for Huntington Station. The three sites are all within walking distance of the Huntington Long Island Rail Road station and in close proximity to each other, allowing for a combined review of the potential environmental impacts of the projects, the town said. The projects include a hotel and office building across the street from the train station, at the intersection of New York Avenue and Railroad Street; a mixed-use building, with apartments and retail businesses, behind the town’s Gateway Plaza at New

York Avenue and Olive Street; and artists’ residences and display space in part of what is now a parking lot, at New York Avenue and Church Street. “Approval of the Gateway Plan allows Renaissance to take the next steps on each of the proposals, which could include site plan approval,” according to a town statement. In an email this week, Ryan Porter, vice president of planning and development at Renaissance said the team is excited about the approval of the plan, which marks the “culmination of nearly a year’s work in collaboration with the town and the community.” He said the team would continue to work with the town and the county on sewer solution strategies for the nonsewered areas in the revitalization. “With this approval behind us, we will now accelerate discussions with our development and financing partners as well as multiple tenant prospects,” Porter said. “In addition Renaissance will look to com-

mence site plan approvals and building permits for several of the sites in 2015 with the goal of being in the ground in 2016.” The projects are also near the proposed Columbia Terrace veterans-preference affordable housing development Huntington Town has planned for the intersection

of Railroad Street, Columbia Street and Lowndes Avenue. Town officials said they hope to break ground on that development early next year, according to a statement. For more information about Renaissance’s plans, visit www.sourcethestation.com.

Paws and donate to help fund dogs for disabled DogFest Walk ‘n Roll Long Island takes place on Sat. By Rohma aBBas

They say dog is man’s best friend, and for one Northport family, the adage couldn’t be any truer. The DeStefanos are on a quest to raise money this week for Canine Companions for Independence’s DogFest Walk ‘n Roll fundraising event. The nonprofit group matches assistance dogs to children and adults with disabilities at no cost to the individual. It was through CCI that Northport 9-year-old Giavanna DeStefano, who is disabled, met Harry, a golden Labrador, in February. And life has changed significantly for the DeStefanos since he joined their family, according to Giavanna’s mom, Cynthia DeStefano. “Harry cleans her room for her,” DeStefano said in a phone interview on Tuesday. “For me, I should say. She likes having him around. It’s like her little buddy that’s there for her.” Harry is Giavanna’s friend and helper. The girl, who was born with a genetic anomaly called Trisomy 9 Mosaicism syndrome, is nonverbal and has global developmental delays and balances issues. For instance, if someone were to bump into her, she would fall and wouldn’t know to brace herself to cushion the fall. She can only speak about seven words. The dog is trained in more than 40 commands, and can do things like open and close doors, turn light switches on and off, and pick up dropped items for Giavanna, according to John Bentzinger, public relations spokesperson for the group. “But his main job will be to give her constant companionship, and he is a social bridge to her peers,” Bentzinger said in an email. The dogs go through a rigorous training process. It costs about $45,000 to train each of the dogs, and it’s through the DogFest Walk ‘n Roll that CCI helps raise money to fund some of those expenses,

The virus, first detected in birds and mosquito samples in Suffolk County in 1999 and again each year thereafter, is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. “The confirmation of West Nile virus in mosquito samples indicates the presence of West Nile virus in the area,” Tomarken said. “While there is no cause for alarm, we urge residents to cooperate with us in our efforts to reduce the exposure to the virus, which can be debilitating to humans.” To reduce the mosquito population around homes, residents should try to eliminate stagnant water where mos-

Other tips include disposing of tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar water-holding containers; removing discarded tires on the property; making sure roof gutters drain properly and cleaning clogged gutters; turning over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use; changing the water in birdbaths; cleaning vegetation and debris from the edges of ponds and keeping shrubs and grass trimmed; cleaning and chlorinating swimming pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs; and draining water from pool covers. Most people infected with West Nile virus will experience mild or no symptoms, but some can develop severe symptoms including high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, dis-

orientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis, according to Tomarken. The symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent. Individuals, especially those 50 years of age or older, or those with compromised immune systems, who are most at risk, are urged to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. There are a number of ways to avoid mosquito bites. Residents are advised to minimize outdoor activities between dusk and dawn; wear shoes and socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirts when outdoors for long periods of time or when mosquitoes are more active; use repellent; and make sure all windows and doors have screens.

Experiencing life with Harry motivated the DeStefanos to give back by fundraising for CCI, Cynthia DeStefano said. “It’s a great organization,” she said. “Going through the program was amazing, and to see what these dogs can do, and how they adapt to each person’s needs, is an amazing thing. We’re blessed to have been able to do this.” So far, they’ve raised $185 out of their $300 goal. To donate to the DeStefanos’ team, go to their fundraising page at www. tinyurl.com/nn3sn4y. The fundraiser DogFest Walk ‘n Roll Long Island takes place this Saturday, Oct. 3, at Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa. For more information, visit www.cci.org.

The Town of Huntington Fire Chiefs’ Council recently recognized Suffolk Police Inspector Edward Brady, who recently retired as the

commanding officer of the 2nd Precinct. Brady was honored for his dedication, support and friendship given to the Fire Chiefs and the Town of

Huntington Fire and Ambulance Services. Brady began his career 36 years ago as a police officer in the 2nd Precinct, served in various commands

Weekend warriors

Huntington Hospital supports community Huntington Hospital employees and volunteers cheered on the runners in this year’s Cow Harbor Warrior Weekend, Capt. Joseph J. Boccia Jr. USMC 4-Mile Warrior Run and military and first responder appreciation day on Sept. 12. Huntington Hospital also had a booth at the event with information about the North Shore-LIJ Health System’s and the hospital’s orthopedic and rehabilitation offerings as well as information about the hospital’s upcoming nutritional lecture on

Oct. 21. “All of the wonderful treatments and services that Huntington Hospital caregivers provide would not be possible without the support of the surrounding community, which we are very appreciative of,” Dr. Gerard Brogan Jr., executive director of Huntington Hospital, said. He was also one of the volunteers at the Cow Harbor Warrior Weekend. “This event was also a great opportunity to thank our veterans and their families for all that they do for our community.”

Success runs deep for Paralympic gold winner

East Northport resident and 2015 Northport High School graduate Mike Brannigan just returned from the Parapan American Games in Toronto, Canada, where he won a gold medal in the 1,500m run and set an American Meet record as a member of the U.S. Paralympic team. Brannigan also ran a mile in four minutes and three seconds and was off the world record by approximately 15 seconds. Brannigan was a star member of the school’s cross country track team and was named the Health Education Student of the Month. He was also

featured in the February 2015 issue of Sports Illustrated as its High School Athlete of the Month. Brannigan is training to compete in the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) congratulated Brannigan on his many accomplishments and said, “You are a great role model for all young people and I hope that you will instill in them your motivation and drive to excel in whatever they do. I know that you will continue to enjoy many more successes in your lifetime.”

North Shore lawmaker pushes drug stewardship plan Kara Hahn’s prescription medicine take-back proposal aims to enhance Long Island’s drinking water quality By Phil Corso

A two-tiered piece of legislation on the county level is looking to tackle some of Long Island’s most pressing issues, from the medicine counter to the waterways, all in one fell swoop. A proposal to establish a drug stewardship program throughout the county could potentially build upon existing drug take-back programs, playing off recent legislation enacted in Alameda County, California, and ultimately keep drugs out of our drinking water, lawmakers said. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) introduced the piece of legislation earlier this summer with hopes of providing residents with more convenient ways to get rid of their unused medicine before the county’s next general meeting in October. “This is a duel benefit,” Hahn said. “I’ve wanted to find a way to get pharmacies to be required to take back prescription drugs, and this doesn’t quite require that, but it could be an end result.” The local law proposal argued that while pharmaceuticals are essential to the treatment of illnesses and long-term con-

ditions, residents at large still do not dispose of them properly, running the risk of certain drugs ending up in public drinking water supplies and causing harm to the environment. And with Suffolk County sitting on top of a sole source aquifer, which provides residents with necessary drinking water, Hahn argued that protecting the aquifer was critical to the health and safety of Long Island as a whole. “The idea is to begin a discussion on this. Federal regulations have changed to allow pharmacies to take back certain drugs, but the state level has been dragging their feet on the local regulations in order to make this possible here,” Hahn said. “They can’t drag their feet any longer. All kinds of medicines are being found in our water when our health inspectors do their sampling. We have to find a way on both these fronts to control what is happening.” The legislator said she was playing off the recently passed law in California, which also established a drug product stewardship policy requiring manufacturers to design and fund collection programs for medications. Similar programs have also sprouted up in Canada, France, Spain and Portugal. A spokesman for Hahn said the bill

would essentially establish a manufacturer-administered pharmaceutical takeback program that would provide residents with convenient ways to safely and environmentally responsibly dispose of expired and unneeded medications. “This program, if adopted, will primarily impact and improve water quality rather than deal with drug abuse,” Seth Squicciarino, the spokesman, said. “However, it is reasonable to assume that if there are less unused, unneeded and

forgotten prescription drugs in medicine cabinets, it could reduce drug experimentation especially among first time users.” Currently, residents’ only course of action when looking to properly dispose of unused medicine is to bring their prescriptions to the 4th Precinct or 6th Precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department, which then dumps the drugs into an incinerator — which Hahn described as the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of drugs right now.

his decisions, Bivona said that while LIPA believes its financial interests are adversely impacted currently by a wrongly overstated assessment of the power plant, “the result is still remote and consequential and certainly does not constitute a direct loss because the property taxes levied upon the Northport Power Station are actually and directly paid by National Grid Generation, LLC.” In the second decision, Bivona granted a stay to the town on each of the four tax certiorari proceedings National Grid commenced challenging taxes from 2010 to 2013. The stay was granted until completion of a case involving the town’s contention that National Grid, as the successor to LIPA, should be held to the 1997 pledge. In previous decisions, the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court cited both a letter then-LIPA chairman Richard Kessel sent to the town and statements Kessel made to the Nassau-Suffolk School Boards Association, during which he said he would drop any pending tax certiorari cases and not initiate any further ones at any time in the future. In return, the town promised not to increase the assessment on the plant. The town has not done so. Most significantly, Bivona’s second decision means the court needs to consider the validity of the town’s 1997 pledge argument before embarking on a trial on the actual tax challenges — which promises to be complicated, lengthy and expensive. “These two significant decisions help clarify the process for resolving these cases by first addressing the town’s key contention: that at the heart of the case is our belief that promises made by both sides should be kept,” Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone said in a statement. “In the long run, resolving that question first should save taxpayers money by potentially obviating the need for a lengthy and expensive trial on the technical question of the assessment.” A spokesman for the Long Island Power Authority said the utility didn’t have a comment on the issue.

OPINION

U.S. Rep. Zeldin reacts to Pope Francis speech

File photo by Susan Risoli

Wastewater is handled at a sewage treatment plant on the North Shore.

EdiTOriAL

Cesspools will catch up with us sewer or later

There’s something in the water — our own excrement. Last week was national SepticSmart Week, an annual U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initiative created to teach people how to care for their septic systems. People should know how to maintain these waste systems to prevent their contents from seeping into the ground and into our drinking water aquifer, but it’s a shame that we are still at this point. Suffolk County politicians frequently talk about their lofty goals to build sewer systems throughout our neighborhoods. in addition to better protecting surface and groundwater, sewers enable commercial and residential development, which is what we need to keep Long island a viable community for future generations. But we rarely see progress toward the widespread sewer goal. Part of the problem is the tremendous cost of “sewering up” all of our homes and businesses. however, it’s better to start paying now than when we are in the throes of another recession and desperately need sewers in order to attract business and keep the economy chugging along; or when we wake up one morning to find our water supply irreparably saturated with human waste particles. Although there are admirable government initiatives to reduce nitrogen pollution, sewers are the ultimate solution. Maybe our electeds are hesitant to be the hated ones handing taxpayers a large bill for the projects, but someone’s got to do it. Until our elected officials start taking real action, there are things we can do to help spare our drinking water, such as investing our own money in our septic systems, upgrading them to more environmentally friendly ones and safely cleaning them out more frequently to prevent overflowing. According to Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s office, there are 360,000 county lots with septic systems and cesspools that add nitrogen pollution to our communities. if even 10 percent of those lot owners upgraded their septic systems, it could make a world of difference.

Congressman Lee Zeldin says he is happy to have been in the House chamber for such a historic event.

TO ThE EdiTOr: i was honored to be in the house chamber this morning to listen to Pope Francis’ address and to celebrate his historic first visit to the United States, a nation built on the foundation of religious freedom and democracy. Pope Francis discussed a number of challenges around the world and his vision for solutions. Most importantly, in recognizing America’s contri-

butions all around the globe, his presence inspired unity, compassion and motivation to do even more in the future to make America and the rest of the world a greater place. i was proud to be joined by my gallery guest, Louisa Nadia Lopez Taitt, a 10-year-old visually impaired Bellport resident who is deeply religious and in need of much prayer and healing. For Louisa, hopefully being in the

presence of the Pope to give her the strength and courage to keep fighting, makes the Pope’s visit all the more important. The Pope’s visit to America is filled with inspiration for all of us individually and as Americans.

When the mean season meets the postseason

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

t’s a collision of colors, sights, sounds and ideas, of comings and goings. I know he wasn’t running for office here in the United States, but the love fest for Pope Francis was incredible. He drew enormous crowds, while discussing climate change and immigrants. This is the time when the mean season meets the postseason. Republicans are gearing up

to fight for us, but before they do, they’re fighting against each other, while they get ready to fight against Hillary Clinton, the presumptive frontrunner on the Democratic side who wants to unify a nation that’s divided over its feelings for her. But wait, we’ve seen this Democratic show before, right? That guy with the eloquent speaking ability and the minimal experience in Illinois didn’t really have a chance to become president eight years ago, until he did and now President Obama is almost getting ready to leave his job. Can’t you just feel the Republicans racing for position behind Donald Trump, wondering when and if there will be an opening that allows them to lead the party? Speaking of comings and goings, Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin had dueling ideas for what to do about Syria. Ideas and rhetoric collided at the United Nations — a

place Putin hadn’t addressed in 10 years. People are angry. Well, Trump certainly is. Or, wait, is he just playing angry on TV until we can all sort it out and realize that he’s just a patriotic American with a vision for America that will keep us safe, happy, fully employed and healthy? Then, of course, there’s the postseason, where the boys of summer have a chance to become the men of October. The Mets are loaded with young guns, who are ready to drive the Dodgers and their manager Don Mattingly out of the postseason. My beloved Yankees look like a flawed team limping their way into the wild card in desperate need, perhaps, of someone with Yogi Berra’s legendary ability to drive in runs in big situations. And then there’s water on Mars. We’ve been hearing about it for a long time, but NASA is excited that this evidence is for real. They don’t know where it

comes from, exactly, or how it got there, but they’re convinced it’s there and it’s incredibly salty. The announcement left open the possibility that it might contain some form of life. While it’s exciting, it’s also a tad anticlimactic to those hoping for signs of life with hands and a face. The stock market doesn’t know what to make of these times: Are we OK with China? Are we worried about low gas prices? Does the Federal Reserve know something it’s not telling us? Is this a great time to buy or the right time to sell? Watching stocks is like tracking a flock of birds who seem to be heading west in the sky, only to reverse course dramatically and go east before slingshotting back and forth again and again. Next, there’s the surprise resignation by House Speaker John Boehner, and the start of a new era on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah. The trees that turn color

People are angry; and the Mets are ready for the Dodgers. first are a sign that school really is open, that fly-by-night Halloween stores will start opening, and that pumpkin pie and mince will soon be available at favorite restaurants. By then, families scattered hither and yon will come together at Thanksgiving to reconnect, laugh and recharge their batteries. By then, the leaves will be off the trees and the Halloween candy will be either eaten or donated. So, let’s not rush ahead, because we’ve got so many modern moments ahead.

A return visit to China after 10 years

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

he last time I was in China was 10 years ago, so when one of my sons told me he had been invited to give a series of talks at different universities there and would welcome my company, I jumped at the chance to see how the country had changed. I had been impressed by the energy and the work ethic of the Chinese people as well as the ambitions of the government, and knew that in a decade there would have to be a

difference. So I invite you in turn to come along with me now, and I will share my impressions as we travel in this beautiful, exotic and ancient land of contrasts. What a difference! We landed in Shanghai at night, and my first sight was of the airport: broad glass sheets, soaring steel beams and ultramodern with its people and luggage movers. No one we met in the bustle of humanity spoke English, but we did manage to find an ATM machine and a sign with the appropriate picture and the word in English directing us to the taxis. Getting to our hotel was another matter. We did not have the name written in Chinese, a flaw that resulted in a two-and-a-half hour cab ride before we found ourselves ready to fall into our beds. As cynical New Yorkers, we suspected the worst of the cabbie but we couldn’t be sure and, to our delight, the bellman at the entrance to our hotel forced the driver to take two-thirds of the amount on the meter when he learned we had come from the airport. It set

the tone for the rest of our trip, for we found the Chinese people to be honorable throughout all our subsequent money transactions with them, although they expect to bargain. In any event, the lesson here is to get the name of every destination in Chinese for the driver, and especially to carry the name of one’s hotel in Chinese for the return trip. And cab fares, by the way, are quite reasonable. The number of skyscrapers in Shanghai has indeed multiplied, and the architecture is imaginative and impressive. But at the same time that we marveled at the skyline the next morning, we noted the thick gray fog that covered the sky. This was the pollution we had been warned of, and it was to accompany us during all but a couple of days throughout our trip. Few people wore masks, we noted, as we ventured out, and I was immediately dazzled by the colors of the clothing worn by the pedestrians as they hurried along the streets. When I was last there, most people wore blue jackets, gray pants and sturdy shoes. Now

the women in particular were dressed in bright shades of every color, matched with fashionable sandals, and they looked quite elegant and attractive. They also looked thin, the men as well. It wasn’t until we traveled well north that we saw a taller and sometimes stockier population. The city was clean and free of litter, the result of cadres of people with large brooms whom we saw sweeping the walkways as we rode the red double-decker tour buses. I remembered the human cleaners from my last visit, but this time they were reinforced with mechanized sweepers that rode along the sidewalks and in the streets. Where before there had been many bicycles and fewer cars, now there were traffic jams of legendary proportions and few bicycles. And after a couple of days, we realized that we never saw anyone in a wheelchair or on crutches and, unless the buildings were quite recent, there were no aids like elevators or depressed curbs for the disabled. We did see a few people in wheelchairs

What a difference!

where there were westerners, like in Beijing. In a few of the cities we visited, Chinese tourists from perhaps more rural locations, stared at us or came up and asked to take pictures with us. This was all transacted with pantomime, of course. They seem especially to like red, the national color, and the day I wore a crimson blouse I was a popular iPhone target. Many of the children we saw were in the care of their grandparents since both parents tend to work. And although the single child — the result of the one-child policy — was often a boy, I was happy to see a lot of young girls. This, too, was a noticeable change from my last visit. The surest way to break the ice on the street or in a museum or park, we found, was to interact with the children. We were rewarded by the adults with broad smiles. Part II will be next week.

Clockwise from top left, Jahmik Curry makes a catch; Doug Taylor rushes through traffic; and Will Wright pulls back to make a pass.

Gorgeous weather and a huge crowd set the stage for a Homecoming Day at Huntington, Saturday. The festivities capped off a week that included spirit days, a pep rally, float building and an evening dance in the school gym. Hundreds of students of all ages turned out for a midday parade through the heart of the village and up New York Avenue, accompanied by district trustees and administrators, parents, teachers, family members and alumni. The Blue Devils marching band played along the way, while its booming sounds drew folks out of shops. “Homecoming in Huntington is a very special thing,” Principal Brenden Cusack said. “It’s a whole community event that brings everyone together. You can feel a true sense of Blue Devils pride throughout the week leading up to the big game. It’s a great experience.” A crowd of nearly 2,000 watched the Huntington football team battle Half Hollow Hills West in a Division II matchup Saturday, following the parade. The Blue Devils scored first, to raise the hopes of fans, when senior wide receiver Jahmik Curry received a 10-yard pass from senior quarterback Will Wright and the kick after failed. Halftime saw performances by the

marching band and the Highsteppers. Royal Court members Vincent Fredericks, Spencer Pashkin, Infinite Tucker, Dan Mollitor, Sarah Fernandez, Cassandra Berwick, Holly LoTurco and Alexandra Berwick were introduced to the crowd before Mollitor and Alexandra Berwick were crowned homecoming king and queen. “It’s an absolute honor to be named homecoming king by my class,” Mollitor said. “I’ve shared so many incredible moments with them and couldn’t ask to graduate with a better group of people. It will be sad to leave at the end of June. I’ve really enjoyed my time at Huntington High School.” Senior running back Doug Taylor scored on a 50-yard run for the second touchdown of the day, and senior wide receiver Infinite Tucker received a pass from Wright to complete the 2-point conversion in the third to tie the game at 14-14. Half Hollow Hills West rallied from there, returning an interception 31 yards for the score, before senior wide receiver Exzayvian Crowell scored on a 1-yard run, and the extra-point attempt was missed, bringing the final score to 28-20. “It was just a beautiful day, featuring a fantastic turnout for a spirited parade,” Superintendent Jim Polansky said. “Thank you to the many from all of our schools who participated. Our Blue Devils fought hard against a top countyranked team and gained confidence in the process.”
