Former Thatched Cottage owner accused of exploiting workers BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The former owner of a popular Centerport restaurant and catering hall is facing federal charges for allegedly exploiting immigrant workers with false promises of green cards. East Northport resident Ralph Colamussi, former owner of the Thatched Cottage and Jellyfish Grill, was arrested Dec. 11 on charges of conspiring with his former restaurant manager Roberto Villanueva to engage in forced labor of immigrants, visa fraud and fraud in foreign labor contracting. “As alleged, Colamussi and Villanueva lured immigrants from the Philippines to the United States with false promises regarding jobs and overtime pay in order to line their own pockets at the expense of the victims,” said Bridget Rohde, acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “This office, together with our law enforcement partners, will hold accountable those who engage in such illegal, exploitive behavior.” Between August 2008 and March 2013, federal prosecutors allege Colamussi and Villanueva recruited prospective employees from the Philippines with promises of jobs as waiters, servers, cooks and chiefs at the Thatched Cottage and required them to pay money in advance for their work H-2B visas, according to a press release regarding the indictment from the U.S. Attorney’s office. Upon arrival, the immigrants claim they were forced to

work at lower wages without overtime, aid in the construction of the Jellyfish Restaurant and care for Colamussi’s relatives. When former restaurant workers complained about not receiving wages, Colamussi and Villanueva repeatedly threatened them with physical violence and deportation, according to the indictment. In one instance, Colamussi allegedly asked a worker to assist him in burning down the Thatched Cottage, and then threatened the worker with a knife for refusing. “This case is an example of ruthless labor trafficking hiding in plain sight,” said Angel Melendez, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations special agent-in-charge. “These individuals allegedly committed visa fraud while forcing people to work in their catering hall under horrible conditions in what seemed to be an inescapable situation.” When the workers’ H-2B visas expired, federal prosecutors said Colamussi and Villanueva told them to apply for student visas and instructed them to fraudulently state they intended to attend school full time. The restaurant owner would deposit funds in the workers’ bank accounts to make it appear they had the resources to pay for college, according to the indictment, then withdraw the money once the student visas were approved. Federal prosecutors also accused Colamussi of housing many workers whose visas had expired in the basement of his East

Northport home and then forcing them to work off the books. If convicted, Colamussi and Villanueva face a maximum of 20 years in jail for forced labor and conspiracy to commit forced labor; 10 years for visa fraud and fraud in labor contracting; and five years for conspiracy to commit visa fraud and inducement of an alien to illegally enter and reside in the United States. In addition, Colamussi may be forced to forfeit the East Northport home where he allegedly housed the immigrants. Attorney Tracey Gaffney, a federal public defender, has been assigned to represent Colamussi. Gaffney did not respond to requests for comment.

— Angel Melendez This is not the first time the Thatched Cottage owner has faced legal problems over his operation and management of the former restaurant. Colamussi filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy of the Thatched Cottage in January 2014, after which the restaurant was sold at auction for $4.65 million in September 2014. Lawsuits followed as December 2015 court documents claimed he transferred funds to Jellyfish Restaurant, and he was ordered by the judge to pay restitution. Court documents also revealed that Colamussi filed for personal bankruptcy under Chapter 13 in Central Islip courts Nov. 21, shortly before his arrest.

Teich homestead reopens as museum in Gateway Park BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Huntington town officials unveiled Dec. 6 the latest addition to Gateway Park. It is one they hope will serve as a reminder of the area’s unique history and diversity. The newly renovated and redesigned Max and Rosie Teich Homestead, a 20th-century farmhouse and operating dairy farm, has been transformed into a Huntington Station museum, located at the intersection of New York and Lowndes avenues.. “This is Huntington Station’s museum,” Supervisor Frank Petrone said at the ceremony. “If we go back and look at Huntington Station, it had a great downtown. It was a blending of peoples, of families, of ethnic backgrounds. This was the place where people gathered from different ethnic groups. We have so many families that settled here of different ethnic backgrounds. They all worked and got along together. It happened in Huntington Station, and now this becomes the symbol for that.” The museum’s first permanent exhibit is a re-creation of the medical office of Dr. Samuel Teich, Max and Rosie’s son, a community physician who delivered thousands of babies and cared for patients while practicing medicine in Huntington Station from 1935 to 1985. The exhibit, curated by Toby Kissam of the Huntington Historical Society and moved to the Teich homestead, features Teich’s examination table, examination lamp and several mid-century medical tools. “My DNA is on that table,” said Huntington town clerk Jo-Ann Raia at its unveiling. Her two sons were delivered by Teich.

The Teich homestead’s first permanent museum exhibit is Dr. Samuel Teich’s medical office, at left, and a photo exhibit on Huntington Station history. In addition to the medical office, the kitchen of the farmhouse has been fully updated and restored with the original farmhouse sink in order to provide a space where plans are to host cooking classes for community members focused on the produce grown in the community garden across the park. There is a meeting room where small classes or lectures can be held decorated with historic pictures of Huntington Station. One wall depicts various stores and buildings that lined New York Avenue, the heart of Huntington Station’s downtown community. A glass display case contains unopened preserves and milk bottles dating back as early as the 1930s found lining the farmhouse cellar that

was built in the same decade when there was an operating dairy on the site. The former milk shed where milk was pasteurized and bottled adjoins the house off its northeast corner, and the footings of the former dairy barn can be found in the southwest corner of the property. Joan Cergol, director of Huntington Community Development Agency, first brought the property to the town’s attention years ago, according to Petrone, requesting the 1.2-acre parcel be purchased to expand Gateway Park. The town was able to purchase it for $270,000 from the Teich family. The town applied and received a $370,000 New York State Heritage Program

grant to undertake extensive renovations of the property, Cergol said, which included replacing the roof and exterior doors, removing asbestos-laced shingle siding, removing lead-based paint, and renovating the two bathrooms and kitchen. Cergol said the second story of the building has been fully renovated into an apartment for a caretaker, who will be hired to care for the home and provide additional security to the park. The museum is currently only viewable by appointment with the Town of Huntington, and further history exhibits are currently being put together in a collaborative effort between the town and historical society for display.

Commack Public Library reopens after $8.3M renovation By sArA-MeGAN WAlsH sara@tbrnewsmedia.com Commack residents may have to look twice to find the sleek and modern entrance of the newly renovated Commack Public Library. Hint, there’s a brand new entrance. The Commack Public Library celebrated its grand reopening Dec. 6 after completing a $8.5 million renovation and expansion. The Hauppauge Road building was aged and outof-date with state safety codes, according to its Director Laurie Rosenthal, as it had not undergone any significant upgrades since its construction in 1976. Rosenthal, the library’s director for more than 15 years, said “I’m really excited to be home ... this library is like a second home to me and many of our patrons.” The newly renovated building was designed by Beatty Harvey Coco (BHC) Architects of Hauppauge to be more consistent with the modern technological era and more community friendly by providing more space for programs. “In the beginning of the design phase, the library’s leadership defined the functional requirements for the renovation, which included expanding the dedicated spaces for children and young adults, enlarging event and community facilities, specifying more comfortable furniture, improving telecommunications and audiovisual technology, and increasing the

visibility of the building’s main entrance,” said Christopher Sepp, a senior associate for BHC. “These requirements reflected the new role of the library as a community and social center for residents.” The main entrance of the library was moved from the intersection of Commack Road and Hauppauge Road to the side of the building facing the parking lot to make the building more accessible and safer for visitors. The former community room was expanded from 1,203 to 1,735 square feet in order to accommodate more patrons into its programs, the library director said. In addition, a new audiovisual system and movable curtain wall partition was installed to allow more than one program to be held at a time. What Rosenthal likes to call the “coffee cup,” a brightly LED-lit entrance to the new children’s section, features soft furniture with lounge seating, train and brick play stations and colored LED lighting strips radiating out from the central ceiling that change colors based on themes and events. The library director said new iPads in protective cases will be available to allow children to interact with technology as well as a sensory area, or quiet low-lighting room specifically designed for children with sensory and auditory needs. Young adults have been given a 620-square-foot space off the main floor of the library which features age-appropriate

the Commack Public library’s $8.5 million renovation includes a brand new children’s department with soft furniture and leD lighting. reading, its own computer terminals and a booth like seating area with television and comfortable chairs where teens are invited to do homework or relax. Throughout the library, there are varied tables, and study areas have their own builtin electrical units with Wi-Fi connections possible to allow residents to come in, sit down and connect anywhere, Rosenthal said. In addition to the extensive redesign of the building, Islandia-based general contractor Stalco Construction made sure it was more energy efficient. “All of the work was done with the use of sustainable and energy-efficient systems and materials to significantly improve the building’s operational efficiency, save money for years to come, and prevent the release of

volatile organic compounds that could impact indoor air quality,” said Jason Vasquez, Stalco’s project manager. The rebuild included installation of a new high-efficiency heating ventilation and air conditioning system and LED lighting fixtures throughout the library to reduce energy for lighting to one-third its prior rate. Other features include a new elevator for handicapped accessibility and fire sprinklers to bring it into compliance with state fire codes. All Commack residents, regardless of township, are invited to come in to see or tour the library, Rosenthal said. Any Suffolk County resident with a library card can check out materials, she said, with some exceptions, as high-demand items are only for library district taxpayers.

COuNTy Senator LaValle, LIRR take a step toward electrification past Huntington By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewsmedia.com A technological upgrade in Northport almost four decades in the making got a jolt of life this month. The Long Island Rail Road Port Jefferson line was electrified as far east as Huntington in 1970, and despite calls ever since, electrification of the line further east to Port Jeff has yet to take place. State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) met with Metropolitan Transportation Authority board member Mitchell Pally during November, wherein the sides agreed to pursue a feasibility study to determine the potential cost and impact of electrifying the line out to Port Jeff. Trains used on the line east of Huntington currently run on diesel fuel. “I believe it’s something we could get done,” LaValle said of electrification during a phone interview. “I think it’s critically important that we can demonstrate to communities with specificity where electric substations are going. Communities need to know that before we make that decision. I’m supporting electrification that starts in Port Jeff but also goes through Smithtown and Huntington.” The feasibility study would be conducted by the LIRR and MTA, according to LaValle, and he said he’s not sure what the study would cost. “Conducting a feasibility study makes a great deal of sense,” LIRR spokesperson Aaron Donovan said in a statement. “Additional electrification has long been

in November, state sen. ken laValle gave his blessing to a feasibility study for electrification of the lirr Port Jefferson line east of Huntington, above, which includes the Greenlawn and Northport stations. part of the discussion for future improvements. We look forward to working with Senator LaValle about the possibility of obtaining funding for such a study.” Calls and initiatives to electrify the line east of Huntington go back to at least the 1980s. According to an article by researcher Derek Stadler published by the Long Island History Journal in 2016 entitled “The Modernization of the Long Island Rail Road,” in 1984, electrification of the branch was included in a nearly $600 million MTA spending package that was meant to serve as a five-year plan for

LIRR improvements. However, the plans were postponed indefinitely just two years later due to a budget gap. The establishment of a one-seat ride from Port Jefferson to Penn Station has long been a goal for elected officials and LIRR riders as well, though that would require electrification as diesel engines cannot travel to the Manhattan station. In the mid-’90s, a brief pilot program was tested on the Port Jeff line using dual -mode locomotive cars that could run using both diesel engines and third-rail electrifi-

cation. According to Stadler’s research, in 2000, it was estimated that electrification east of Huntington could cost as much as $500 million. Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant said during a Nov. 20 board of trustees meeting she and Deputy Mayor Larry LaPointe recently met with LaValle, and the topic of electrification of the Port Jeff line came up as well. “It would be critical to electrify the North Shore line,” Garant said during the meeting. The village is in the process of examining transportation improvements that could among other benefits, increase LIRR ridership and better coordinate the schedules of the railroad, Suffolk County buses and the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson ferry. LaValle said the process of obtaining money to actually complete the electrification work wouldn’t be done prior to the feasibility study, though he said he believes funding could be attainable. “We want to move people as quickly as possible east to west and build the same rate of success as Ronkonkoma is enjoying in terms of availability of trains into not only New York City, but west,” he said. “Before we do that we need to know with specificity — communities need to know what it means for their community.” Both LaValle and Donovan declined to share specifics about the timetable of a feasibility study.

Huntington woman arrested in police dept. parking lot A Huntington woman was arrested Dec. 4 for marijuana while parked in front of Northport Village Hall. Village police said Arielle Bonnici, 26, was driving a 2001 Jeep to Northport Village Justice Court to answer a summons previously issued to her May 11 for unlawful possession of marijuana. While pulling into the rear parking lot behind Northport Police Department and Village Justice Court, a police officer said she cut off an unmarked car and was allegedly observed to be on a cellphone at the time. Bonnici then drove into an area designated for police vehicles only and parked in the spot reserved for the chief of police, according to police.

When officers approached her parked car, the officers said Bonnici was in a cloud of smoke. She was found in possession of marijuana and a pipe, according to police. Bonnici was issued a field appearance ticket in lieu of arrest for unlawful possession of marijuana and a traffic ticket for using a cellphone while driving. Police escorted her into the court to be arraigned on the new charges, as well as the original unlawful possession of marijuana charge. Both cases were adjourned to Jan. 29, 2018. “You can’t make this stuff up,” said Bill Ricca, chief of Northport Police Department, upon learning of the incident. — SARA-MEGAN WALSH

Toy drive success More than 1,400 toys were collected at a Huntington holiday toy drive for needy children Dec. 3, supported by a group of local businesses and nonprofits, including Zara Realty and the Subraj Foundation, a charitable organization founded by a Long Island philanthropist. The sixth annual Santa’s Little All Stars toy drive drew over 350 children and their families, who donated toys that will be distributed to local charities and schools throughout Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn. The event, sponsored by UNITY SME, a nonprofit that hosts toy drives in 10 cities nationwide, was meant to encourage young people to perform community service and form the habit of giving to charity. Held at the Long Island School for the Gifted in Huntington Station, the drive also featured arts and crafts as well as games for children. The children and their parents wrapped the gifts to be donated. Recipients of the toys will include SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Long Island MarThoma Church and Bay Shore Middle School. Huntington-based Gellerman Orthodontics, owned by Dr. Inna Gellerman, also held a toy drive for the Junior Welfare League of Huntington’s Holiday Charity Program. The program allows social workers to match children in need with donors to receive gifts and have a special holiday season. — SARA-MEGAN WALSH

What you may not know about the new sheriff in town By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewsmedia.com On the Saturday before Easter in 2003, Suffolk County sheriff-elect, Errol Toulon Jr. (D) sat in the den of his Lake Grove home and said to God, “If you give me a chance, I’m going to do something great.” Toulon, who had dropped from 240 pounds to about 140 and could barely walk, was recovering from a Whipple procedure to remove a cancerous tumor on his pancreas. It had been his second battle with cancer in less than 10 years — in 1996, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma — an ordeal that was followed by MRSA, a type of staph infection, and pneumonia. Doctors and family members expected the worst. A year later, in the spring of 2004, the Rikers Island corrections officer-turnedcaptain enrolled at Suffolk County Community College. He went on to receive his master’s degree in business administration from Dowling College and an advanced certificate in Homeland Security management from Long Island University. In the midst of his appointment as deputy commissioner of operations for the New York City Correction Department in 2014, Toulon pursued and completed his doctorate in educational administration and took leadership courses at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. On Dec. 4, after a last-minute campaign to be Suffolk County sheriff against opponent Larry Zacarese (R), Toulon, 55, became the first African-American elected official in a nonjudicial countywide position in Long Island’s history. “I still don’t think I’m finished to be honest with you,” Toulon said, laughing. “I am very fortunate and I don’t take any day for granted.” He said he didn’t even know the landmark aspect of his victory until the counting of absentee ballots was close to being completed. The race was too close to call after Election Day Nov. 7, leaving the tightly contested election hanging for nearly a month. “I think that can help to show that any individual, no matter what ethnicity or gender,

can achieve anything they want,” Toulon said. “But I don’t think, necessarily, the color of my skin will matter at all. I think my work experience and work ethic will show that those who voted for me made the right choice, and I think those that didn’t vote for me will feel I can do the job and have the best interests of the people.” Those closest to him said despite the odds stacked against him, Toulon’s win makes perfect sense. “He’s a rare breed of person — you couldn’t ask for a better man for the position,” said Ralph Grasso, a retired New York Police Department officer and friend of Toulon’s for 26 years. “Anything he puts his mind to, he achieves.” Grasso was far from the only colleague to heap praise on the sheriff-elect. “Errol’s always shown through his actions how great a leader he is,” said Keith Taylor, who worked with him in the department of corrections for two years. “When it came to officers who were victims of inmate violence, he always made sure to visit them in the hospital, and always without any fanfare. He’s dealt with a lot of adversities and always handles them with dignity, grace and strength.” Meg Malangone, a registered Republican in Lake Grove who works in the business office at TBR News Media, said Toulon is the first Democrat she’s voted for in 40 years. “Not only is he one of the most incredible individuals I know, I honestly felt he was the best man for the job,” said Malangone, whose son was friends with Toulon’s sons growing up. “Errol is a wonderful human being. He is a strong, kind, smart and gentle man. He is not afraid to make tough decisions and is thoughtful in his approach to problems and solutions. He is going to be a fantastic sheriff for Suffolk County.” When he officially starts his new job in January, Toulon said he’s determined to manage the sheriff’s office effectively and utilize skills from his career in corrections to tackle what he considers “the big three”: gangs, the opioid crisis and working with the community to develop a strong re-entry program for those incarcerated to help with housing and jobs when they leave the jail.

He said outgoing Sheriff Vincent DeMarco (C) has given him a tour of the facilities, he’s met with staff and he looks forward to working collaboratively with district attorneyelect, Tim Sini (D). “There is nobody with the type of integrity he has,” said Keith Davies, Toulon’s campaign manager, who was admittedly nervous to start a full-fledged race two months before the election with a candidate he didn’t know. “But then I got to know Errol and I knew I was working for someone that is the right person to be in the position. He kept us motivated and working hard. He’s a good man.” Despite his lifelong career in law enforcement, Toulon said the reason he thinks he was elected, and had such large support from community members on both sides of the aisle, can be traced to his second life as a coach of various sports in the last 20 years. An avid hockey fan who even created a program around the sport within the corrections facility, Toulon coaches ice hockey at the Long Island Gulls Amateur Hockey Association in Jericho and served as a roller hockey coach at The Sports Arena in St. James. He has also coached baseball for the Sachem Youth Advisory Group; soccer for Middle Country Children’s Soccer League; and basketball for Middle Country. “I’ve tried to make sure it wasn’t about winning or losing with the kids,” Toulon said. “I thought that even the kid who probably wasn’t the best person on the team should’ve gotten an opportunity to play. We won or lost together. A lot of parents asked me to be their child’s coach each season and I felt very honored by that.” But Toulon’s overall achievements can be traced further back to the 1960s and ’70s in the South Bronx, where he grew up with his younger brother, Anthony, and parents, Errol Sr. and Alma, and attended Cardinal Hayes High School. “He was always a go-getter,” recalled Errol Toulon Sr., 78, a retired deputy warden of the New York City Department of Correction. “He always volunteered within the community, played baseball and just always gave it his all. We couldn’t be prouder of him.” Toulon’s mother, 74, who worked in edu-

cation, remembered her sons being extremely protective of her, not even letting her walk to the local tennis court by herself. “They were like my guardian angels,” Alma Toulon said. “I’m so proud of Errol Jr. He always does anything anyone asks him to do. He is a wonderful kid … I still call him a kid, he’s 55.” Toulon pointed to his parents, who both went back to school later in life to get their bachelor’s and master’s degrees, as his two biggest heroes, though he also credited another: Willie Randolph, the former New York Yankees second baseman and New York Mets manager. Toulon came to know Randolph well working as a bat boy for the Yankees in 1979 and 1980. “I was a diehard Yankees fan, didn’t live too far from the stadium at the time and went for an interview in January 1979,” said Toulon, who fondly remembered being around players like Randolph, Catfish Hunter and Thurman Munson. “They all treated me like I was a valuable part of the team. And that really carried over to my own managerial style that every member of the organization — no matter where you are in the chain — is important to making the team as successful as possible.” Toulon’s son, Justin, 28, who works in the film and television field in Georgia, called his father the hardest working and most driven person he knows and said Toulon instilled in him the importance of respect. “I don’t think I’ve ever brought somebody to meet my father that hasn’t said afterward, ‘That’s a great guy,’” Justin Toulon said. “My dad always leaves that impression. You just respect him and he has this charming ability about him. People gravitate toward him.” Speaking from experience on that front is Toulon’s second wife, Tina, who he met in 2014, and married a year and a half ago. His first wife, Susan, passed away 29 years into their marriage. “I’m his No. 1 fan,” Tina Toulon said. “He just has this wonderful aura about him: that great smile and those great eyes, full of life. He has an incredible loyalty about him and I love how he connects with people. He wants to always leave things better than how he found them … so I know he can do this job well.”

School NewS Ocean Avenue Elementary School

Making memories

Kindergartners at Ocean Avenue Elementary School spent the morning making holiday keepsakes with loved ones Dec. 6. Students were provided with dough to create the keepsakes, made of nontoxic ingredients and a whole lot of cinnamon, filling the school with a delicious aroma. Students enjoyed rolling out the dough, cutting it into holiday shapes and getting a little messy with their family members. Once dried, these keepsakes could be used as holiday decorations and are meant to last for years to come. “We do this every year so students can create something that will always remind them of their time at Ocean Avenue Elementary,” said Principal Sabina Larkin, who started the tradition. In addition to the activity, the holiday boutique, organized by the PTA, was set up in the hallway.

Spirit of giving

Students in Elwood-John H. Glenn High School’s World Language Honor Society recently stayed after school to fill 72 shoeboxes with toys, toiletries and school supplies that they collected for Operation Christmas Child.

These boxes, sent to humanitarian aid organization Samaritan’s Purse, will be distributed around the world to children in need this holiday season. The students also included a picture of the group and a card in each box.

At Norwood Elementary School in the Northport-East Northport school district, librarian Linda Dickman is always looking for new ways to get students excited about reading. A project she recently presented her students with was creating a book trailer — a short video to make viewers want to read the book the students had just read. The fifth-graders from Jane Pastorelli’s class were very excited to tackle this project. After drawing out a physical storyboard, students

worked on computers to digitally create their visions for the project. Grace from Pastorelli’s class chose the book “You Are My I Love You.” “I chose this book because it was the only thing that used to calm me down when I was little,” she said. “And it still makes me happy.” Fifth-grade students Glenn, Grace and Zach in Pastorelli’s class were proud of the storyboards they created for their book trailer projects in the library.

Tigers battle but lose to Half Hollow Hills East BY BILL LANDON Northport’s girls basketball team was unable to keep up its streak of close games against former League II foe Half Hollow Hills East, as the Tigers fell 59-45 to the now League III Thunderbirds on the road Dec. 11. Even so, Northport sophomore guard Danielle Pavinelli did what she could to counter Hills East’s leading point scorer Alexa Wallace, matching her with a game-high 21 points. Northport head coach Rich Castellano said the result was not indicative of how the Tigers typically play, noting junior Hannah Stockman’s early foul trouble. “Hannah [Stockman] … she’s our biggest scorer and our top 3-point shooter, and Shelby [Maldavir], our senior captain, I don’t think she hit one 3-pointer today,” Castellano said. “I think Kerry [Dennin] and Danielle [Pavinelli] — those two carried us for several long stretches.” Pavinelli, who is following her sister Allie, a 2014 graduate, by committing to play lacrosse at the University of Florida next year, nailed two free throws to give Northport its first lead of the game, 6-5. But it was shortlived, as the foul trouble led to a collection of free points for the Thunderbirds, which led 26-11 at the end of the first quarter. Junior guard Iris Sovocchi attempted to shift momentum Northport’s way, nailing back-to-back 3-pointers to close the deficit to 12 points both times, and Pavinelli added a three of her own, but it was Kerry Dennin who was able to break through. The sopho-

more forward drove the lane and wouldn’t be denied the scoring opportunity, as she added a bucket that brought the Tigers within 10, 32-22, at the halftime break. Dennin matched a Hills East 3-pointer with one of her own to start the scoring for the third as minutes ticked off the clock, but Northport was not able to chip away at the 10-point margin. The Thunderbirds diligently drove the baseline, drawing fouls as they continued to collect points from the charity stripe. “This was not a normal game for us — we didn’t shoot well tonight,” said Castellano, who was recently inducted into the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame and begins his 39th year at the helm of the Northport program. “But I give [Hills East] credit. They did a great job on defense against us, they worked hard and

they played better. They did what they had to do to win the game.” Behind Pavinelli was Dennin with eight points and Sovocchi added six. “We usually have a strong 3-point game, but tonight we didn’t,” the head coach said despite the Tigers matching the

Thunderbirds with six 3-pointers. “Our offense stalled a little, but Kerry Dennin played a great game for us tonight.” Northport has two more nonleague contests, against Smithtown West and Massapequa, before opening league play hosting Bay Shore Dec. 19 at 6 p.m.

Harborfields’ boys swimming team in a Dec. 12 win at North Babylon. Max Hafen placed first the 50-yard freestyle in 24.1 seconds and the 100 breaststroke 1 minute, 11.16 seconds.

Huntington’s Alex Heuwetter led all scorers with 21 points and teammate Nicole Leslie added 14 in the Blue Devils’ nonleague win at Deer Park Dec. 12.

Huntington’s boys fencing team outscored host Lindenhurst Dec. 11 to even out its score in the standings. The Blue Devils are now 1-1 this year.

Architecture Guide HOME FEATURES: arches, columns, dormers, roofs, windows, classic molding RESIDENTIAL STYLES: Art Deco â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Homes built in this style feature geometric elements and a vertically oriented design. California Bungalow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A forerunner of the Craftsman style, California Bungalows offer rustic exteriors, sheltered-feeling interiors, and spacious front porches. Cape Cod â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A true classic, Cape Cod homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; square or rectangular one-story structures with gabled roofs and unornamented fronts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were among Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first houses. Colonial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, Colonial homes feature a rectangular, symmetric design, second-floor bedrooms, clapboard siding, and gabled roofs. Contemporary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unmistakably modern in feel, Contemporary style homes are identifiable by their odd-sized windows, lack of ornamentation, and unusual mix of wall materials. Craftsman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Full or partial-width porches framed by tapered columns, overhanging eaves, and exposed roof rafters differentiate a Craftsman home from the similar California Bungalow. Creole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A front wall that recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony highlights the Creole Cottage design. Dutch Colonial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; German, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deutschâ&#x20AC;?, settlers in Pennsylvania originated the Dutch Colonial style, dominated by a barn-like broad gambrel roof with flaring eaves.

Federal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek Roman culture, as its classical ornamentation around cornices, doors, and windows demonstrates. French Provincial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which includes a steep hip roof; balcony and porch balustrades; and rectangular doors set in arched openings. Georgian â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Refined and symmetrical with paired chimneys and a decorative crown, Georgian houses were named after English royalty. Gothic Revival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; English romanticism influenced this style marked by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gothicâ&#x20AC;? windows with pointed arches; exposed framing timbers; and steep, vaulted roofs. Greek Revival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Large porches, entryway columns, and a front door surrounded by narrow rectangular windows characterize Greek Revival homes. International â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts, ground-to-ceiling plate glass windows, and smooth facades. Italianate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Symmetrical bay windows in front; small chimneys set in irregular locations; tall, narrow, windows; and in some cases towers, typify Italianate houses. Monterey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an adobe brick exterior and a second floor with a balcony. National â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rooted in Native American and pre-railroad dwellings, the National style consists of a rectangular shape with sidegabled roofs or square layouts with pyramidal roofs.

Neoclassical â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Recognize Neoclassical homes, which exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses, by their Ionic or Corinthian-columned porches. Prairie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style house comes in two styles--boxy and symmetrical or low-slung and asymmetrical. Pueblo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Flat roofs, parapet walls with round edges, straight-edge window frames, earth-colored stucco or adobe-brick walls, and projecting roof beams typify Pueblos. Queen Anne â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Emerging in the late Victorian era, the style employs inventive, multistory floor plans that often include projecting wings, several porches and balconies, and multiple chimneys with decorative chimney pots. Ranch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Similar to the Spanish Colonial, Prairie, and Craftsman styles, Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, wood or brick exterior walls, siding, and picture windows. Regency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Although they borrow from the Georgianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic lines, Regency homes eschew ornamentation. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re symmetrical, two or three stories, and usually built in brick. Typically, they feature an octagonal window over the front door, one chimney at the side of the house, double-hung windows, and a hip roof. Saltbox â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This New England Colonial style gained the Saltbox nickname because its sharply sloping gable roof resembled boxes used for storing salt. Second Empire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Victorian style, Second Empire homes feature mansard roofs with dormer windows, molded cornices, and dec-

ÂŠ97347

orative brackets under the eaves. Shed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with multiple roofs sloping in different directions, which creates several geometric shapes. Shingle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An American style that echoes the Queen Anne, Shingle style is distinguished by unadorned doors, windows, porches, and cornices; continuous wood shingles; a steeply pitched roof line; and large porches. Shotgun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door of this long, narrow home. The style is characterized by a single story with a gabled roof. Spanish Eclectic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Taking its cues from early Spanish missions, Spanish Eclectic then adds a dash of details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles. Split Level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Modern style, Split Level design sequesters certain living activities, such as sleeping or socializing. Stick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards characterize Stick houses, which are members of the Victorian family. Tudor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more steeply pitched cross gables typify Tudor homes. Victorian â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture often incorporated decorative details such as brackets, spindles and patterned shingles. The above information is provided by The National Association of RealtorsÂŽ.

Superintendents believe the relationship between schools and law enforcement is vital to keeping kids safe.

Superintendents for safer schools Stock photo

Equal internet access for all is at risk if the FCC votes to kill net neutrality Dec. 14.

Net neutrality is worth fighting for The right to full and equal internet access for all United States citizens might seem like a given, but that could change this week. The United States Federal Communications Commission, the government’s independent agency created to regulate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable, is expected to vote Dec. 14 to end a set of regulations established in 2015, which prevents internet service providers from treating data unfairly. The protections are referred to as net neutrality. Without these regulations in place, providers could create tiered internet access subscriptions requiring customers to pay higher prices for faster connections; slow down or block data streams from certain websites or mobile applications; and even censor content. FCC data suggests large portions of the United States have limited choices when it comes to choosing an internet service provider. The lack of competition and rollback of net neutrality regulations could result in providers holding users hostage for the content they currently consume, charging higher prices for the ability to have access to highspeed connectivity. The matter is further complicated because internet service providers, in most cases, are companies with vast media empires that also produce their own content. For example, Comcast provides internet access to its customers, but also owns NBC, so a conflict of interest could be created if Comcast had the ability to slow down the data streams of its competitors’ websites, like CBS, for its subscribers. The FCC is overseen by Congress, which obviously further complicates any situation based on the political gridlock currently hanging over every decision passing through the body, big or small. It is expected that a legal battle may ensue following the vote this week, and it is incumbent upon all Americans to speak out to local representatives in Congress to make sure their constituents are in favor of maintaining fair and equal internet access for all. Access to information for everyone is incredibly important for a healthy democracy. While this might not seem like the most important issue in front of Congress these days, it should not fly under the radar, and deserves Americans’ attention.

Events such as the Las Vegas concert and Texas church shootings remind us of the critical role law enforcement plays in our communities. As school administrators, those events bring back horrific memories of the Newtown tragedy and cause us to reflect on the heightened level of interdependence between our public schools, often the cornerstone of Long Island’s communities, and our police. This relationship has evolved and intensified over the years due to both legislative requirements and the increased complexity of societal and community issues. The incident that first changed the nature of the relationship occurred in Jefferson County, Colorado, in April 1999, when two Columbine High School students massacred 12 of their classmates and a coach. Prior to Columbine, interactions between schools and police on Long Island, for the most part, centered on matters such as vandalism, graffiti, the assignment of crossing guards, bomb scares and an occasional drug-related arrest. Schools and the local police responded to incidents in these and similar categories on a case-by-case basis. Practices varied from district to district and department to department. Appropriately, that changed with New York State’s legislative response to Columbine. The Safe Schools Against Violence in Education Act was passed by the legislature and signed into law July 24, 2000. The legislation, which has since been amended and supplemented, required schools and school districts to implement a number of measures, but most prominently to develop and maintain safety plans at the building and district levels and to adopt codes of conduct for the maintenance of order in school operations. The

intensity and importance of the relationship between the police and schools grew as the stakes were raised, and we worked together to implement SAVE. The unthinkable required school and law enforcement officials to plan for eventualities that seemed impossible just a few months earlier. The problems of the past paled in comparison to the concerns about the future. Today, the partnership is more important than ever, as both police and schools are called upon to deal with local manifestations of issues of national prominence, the opioid crisis and gang violence. Opioid abuse occurs all around us every day. The epidemic cuts blindly through race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Its consequences impact people of all ages in all communities. In 2016, Long Island suffered at least 535 opioid-related deaths. Recently, more than 400 educators, mental health professionals, and law enforcement came together at a regional conference sponsored jointly by LI-CAN, the island’s school superintendents’ associations and SCOPE education services to discuss this issue. Gang violence, while far less pervasive, does exist on Long Island. While schools are not a center of gang activity, they are places where young people gather and information is exchanged. As a result, there is a mutual benefit to the partnership between schools and law enforcement because we must address this problem together. The introduction of school resource officers who are uniformed police personnel assigned to certain schools, has facilitated this communication and has been a powerful approach in emphasizing the role of police officer as community leader. The

resource officer plays a crucial role in our schools — not just by responding to incidents, but in building positive relationships with students, staff and parents. We support a well-structured, thoughtful expansion of this important program. Assuring that our students receive the highest-quality programs and services in a safe, secure environment is the goal of the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association. A recent survey of school superintendents statewide indicates that half of respondents have rising concerns about the needs of our students in nonacademic areas, including health, safety and mental health. Members of the association partner with county, town and village police departments, and many other non-law enforcement organizations recognize that these needs cannot be met without robust cooperation. Only this type of cooperation will enable us to fully address these problems. The key to future success is mutual respect, the availability of adequate resources and exhaustive planning. We’ve come a long way since 2000 and we have much more to do. Together, with the right school district and law enforcement leadership in place, including incoming Suffolk County district attorney, Tim Sini, and soon-to-be-named police commissioner, we can meet today’s challenges and achieve our goal of providing a safe, secure environment for all students.

OPINION Time on TV trumps experience

onald Trump and now Aaron Boone? What’s going on? A well-known businessman, who spent considerable time on TV after he had made his money, was elected president — in case you’ve been living in a hole somewhere for the last year or so — despite not having any experience whatsoever as a politician. Then, recently, the New York Yankees, who expect a championship every year and aren’t fond of learning curves, went out and hired someone By Daniel Dunaief whose playing claim to fame as a Yankee came with one swing 14 years ago. After his playing career ended, Boone entered the broadcast booth where he talked about the game. Like Trump, Boone was beamed

D. None of the above

into the living rooms of those who paused to watch the program that featured him. And now, like Trump, Boone must do some quick on-the-job training, becoming a modern-day manager. Now, I don’t expect Boone to attack other players, managers or umpires on Twitter, the way the president has done when he unloads written salvos against anyone who dares to defy or annoy him. What I’m wondering, though, is how did these men get their jobs? Since when is experience doing a high profile job no longer necessary? What made Trump and Boone the choice of the Electoral College and the best candidate to make the Yankees greater again, respectively? These Yankees, after all, were surprisingly great this year, falling one game short of the fall classic. One word may answer that question: television. Somehow we have gone from the comical notion, years ago that “I’m not a doctor, I play one on TV,” to the reality of “I know better

because I seem that way on TV.” Long ago, in 1960, when Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy were running for president, TV helped sway voters, particularly those who watched an important debate. So, I suppose, it seems like a logical extension to imagine that TV helped fast track the careers of people who spent time sharing their thoughts, tag lines and observations with us through that same medium. Sports and reality TV have commonalities. A sport is the ultimate live, unscripted event, where people offer off-the-cuff thoughts and analyses on fluid action. Each game and each moment can bring the unexpected — a triple play, an inside-the-park home run or a hidden-ball trick — that requires an instant reaction. Similarly, albeit in a different way, the reality TV that brought Trump to the top of the political heap gave him a chance to respond to changing situations, offering a cutting analysis of the potential, or lack thereof, for people on his show.

While viewers watch these familiar faces and hear their voices, people can become convinced of the wisdom and abilities of these TV stars who become spokespersons and champions for their own brands. So, does Trump offer any insight into Boone? The new Yankees manager may find that second-guessing other people is much easier than making decisions himself and working as a part, or a leader, of a team. Trump has bristled at all the second-guessers. While he’s familiar with the media scrutiny, Boone, too, may find it irritating that so many other New Yorkers are absolutely sure they know better when it comes to in-game decisions that affect the outcome of a Yankees contest. Perhaps what Boone and Trump teach us is that selling your ideas or yourself on TV has become a replacement for experience. TV experience has become a training ground for those selling their ideas to the huddled masses yearning for a chance to cheer.

A different and generous gift of the season

trange as it may seem amid the frenetic shopping, the seasonal music and the rounds of holiday parties, there are some who are deeply lonely. They may or may not seem so, they may be among the elderly or adolescents, they may appear depressed or not, but they are indeed lonely. And lonely can be bad for one’s health. Loneliness has lots of causes. For a widow or widower, the of By Leah S. Dunaief approach the holidays makes more grievous the loss of a spouse. Holidays are typically family time, and one member is gone. Or perhaps a close friend has died and is sorely missed. For those who have outlived their contemporaries, the gaiety and excitement of the holidays are a sad contrast with their lives. Or with

Between you and me

children and grandchildren scattered over three continents, it may not be possible to be together for the celebrations. Perhaps worst of all are those in unsatisfying relationships who are perceived to be coupled but are in reality painfully lonely. Loneliness, health studies have shown, can cause increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, depression, accelerated cognitive decline and even trigger suicide. And in this world of electronic devices operating on the internet, even a phone call with the sound of a warm voice is now often replaced by a tidy and sanitized email or text message. How are we to respond to such feelings of loneliness? First is to be aware that those around us may not be so caught up in the spirit of the season. For those who have plenty, whether in worldly goods or in simple joy, this is the time for sharing. Sometimes it is not so obvious when others are hurting. If a neighbor is a shut-in, it is easy to guess that the person would like a visit, even a short one, or an errand run on their behalf. These

are immediate solutions. But social isolation and loneliness are not necessarily the same. That neighbor may have few social connections but enjoy an existence rich with books, music or hobbies. On the other hand, loneliness is a subjective condition in which a person feels isolated, even if surrounded by people most of the time. That person is just as needy, or more so, for human interaction but that need may be harder to discern. Research at the University of California, San Francisco, reveals that “most lonely people are married, live with others and are not clinically depressed,” according to a recent article by Jane Brody in The New York Times. Some more obvious remedies for those who are lonely or socially isolated to help themselves might be volunteering at a hospital or assisted living center, a soup kitchen or a nursery school. Giving to others in need brings its own rewards. Joining a group with shared interests — anything from quilting to trivial pursuit — can help. A book club or a class is a way to keep the mind engaged while perhaps finding others with

whom to socialize. And the fail-safe solution for those who desire interaction with others is to get a dog. It is not possible to take a dog for its walk three times a day, day after day, and not get into conversation with someone along the way unless the walk is in the woods. But back to how we can help others who cannot help themselves. It seems to me that one of the greatest compliments one human can give to another is the willingness to listen. This may sound easier than it really is. Many people practice mindfulness, being in the moment, meditation and so forth for their own enrichment. In order to listen to another person, to really hear them, one has to practice that skill too, until it becomes almost an art. We who live in our small villages, where people have more opportunity to connect with neighbors in the supermarket or at concerts or school baseball games, we are lucky enough, if we are so interested, to be available to listen to each other. We can learn when we listen. And for the lonely, genuinely being heard is a balm.
