Huntington Hospital receives $1M donation from Partrick family Huntington native, Douglas Partrick, owner of Heatherwood Luxury Rentals, and his wife Violetta donated $1 million to Huntington Hospital recently. Partrick was born and raised in Huntington, just blocks from the hospital. His ties to Huntington Hospital began with his mother, Virginia, a 30-year volunteer at the hospital, who logged more than 47,000 volunteer hours and served on the hospital’s board of trustees. His father, Donald, gifted $2.4 million over his lifetime to the hospital. “I made a promise to myself that when my parents passed that I would continue on with their legacy of supporting the hospital,” Partrick said. “With great success comes great responsibility, and I feel like it is my responsibility to give back to the community with this gift.” The $1 million gift will fund the Douglas and Violetta Partrick Treatment Area, a priority treatment area within the hospital designed to treat the least-acute patients who come into the emergency department. “I would like to encourage people that no matter how big or small the gift may be, that every little bit helps the hospital,” Partrick said. “Any participation, be it a monetary or physical donation to the hospital, is making an investment in your community and in yourself.” The priority treatment area will see patients experiencing less severe issues including those with abdominal or chest pain, pregnant women, and pediatric patients. “We greatly appreciate Douglas and his family’s generosity and commitment to

Miller Place street renamed in honor of former Northport teacher BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The corner of Grandview Boulevard and Lower Rocky Point Road in Miller Place will now have a sign saying Pendergast Path in honor of the street’s former resident and founder of ALS Ride For Life. Local officials, friends and family joined together on Monday, June 21, next to the street sign to remember Pendergast’s legacy and honor his efforts in the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — a degenerative neurological disease that ultimately leads to a loss of muscle control throughout the body, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Monday was Global ALS Awareness Day. “What a beautiful day to have this event,” said Ray Manzoni, president of ALS Ride For Life, based in Stony Brook. “We’ve got somebody up there keeping an eye on us.” Pendergast died on Oct. 14, 2020, after a 28year battle with the disease. His nonprofit has helped raise more than $10 million in research for ALS. During the annual Ride For Life, Pendergast was known to ride his motorized wheelchair hundreds of miles to raise funds and awareness of the disease. His longest ride was 350 miles in two weeks. “He defied the odds in so many ways, his endurance was remarkable,” Manzoni said. “He was extraordinary.” Pendergast, a former teacher in the Northport school district, was told he only would have a few years to live after his diagnosis. He beat the odds and spent over two decades educating people on the disease and devoting his life to helping others. His daughter, Melissa Scriven, told the crowd of people that the ALS Ride For Life board started in their house on Grandview Boulevard. Team meetings were held in the kitchen, and the dining room became an office. In 1991, the family moved to the street and two short years later he was diagnosed.

“Our lives were forever changed — dreams for this new house and our new life were shot,” she said. “But only briefly … his positive attitude and optimism shaped how we would handle this ALS diagnosis. We were a team and we’re going to live with this disease — and live we did.” Scriven said her father adored this house. “It’s quite fitting that he lived on Grandview Boulevard,” she said. “My dad would for sure say that he was blessed with a grand view of the goodness of humanity, of the loyalty of friends, of the generosity of strangers and the grandest view of all, the love of his family.” As part of a street renaming, the Town of Brookhaven requires an individual to have provided the town with an outstanding service. And that he did. Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) presented the Pendergast family with a proclamation from the town shortly before the curtain unveiled Pendergast Path. Bonner said she had a special connection to the day’s event. “My grandfather died from ALS in the early 1980s, long before anybody really knew what ALS was,” she said. “I have learned so much about ALS because of Chris, because of this organization and because of the people with ALS that really don’t ever let you forget that this disease should not be forgotten, that we need a tremendous amount of research dollars.” She added there is a lot of time to make up due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “People need to be as generous as possible because there are many more people suffering and so we must find a cure,” she said. “And I can think of no person that deserves this honor more than Chris.” Pendergast’s wife, Christine, was honored to have her husband’s name across the green sign. “I think he would be grinning ear to ear,” she told TBR News Media. “He took his ALS bike to the streets, literally, and we now have a street named after him. I think it’s a very fitting way to honor him and his work.”

One of the larger centers for the Novavax vaccine trials, Stony Brook University Hospital recruited 376 patients for a potential fourth vaccine against COVID-19 . The Gaithersburg, Maryland-based company announced earlier this week that its vaccine was effective in 90.4% of the participants in its phase 3 trials, which is typically the last clinical hurdle before approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The trials occurred in the United States and Mexico. With 30,000 people participating in the clinical study, the Stony Brook participants accounted for about 1.25% of the total study group. “The quality of our data is among the highest,” said Benjamin Luft, chief investigator of the Novavax trial and director and principal investigator of the Stony Brook WTC Wellness Program. At its peak, the Novavax trials, which began on Dec. 28, involved 10 to 12 fulltime staff at Stony Brook to prepare and administer the vaccines. “The staff worked extremely hard,” Luft said. “I think everybody takes a great deal of satisfaction in being a small part of this great machine that ultimately produced these vaccines that we all benefit from.” Novavax reportedly plans to produce as many as 100 million doses of the vaccine per month starting in the third quarter and as many as 150 million per month in the fourth quarter. The Novavax vaccine, which received $1.6 billion from Operation Warp Speed in 2020, differs from the other three approved vaccines. Pfizer/BioNtech and Moderna use messenger RNA and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses a combination of the gene for the spike protein with an altered adenovirus, which causes the common cold. Novavax, by contrast, uses a piece of the spike protein from COVID-19 to train the immune system to recognize the foreign invader. Vaccine providers can store the Novavax vaccine, which requires two doses, at typical refrigerator temperatures, unlike the mRNA vaccines, which require ultra cold storage. The Novavax vaccines are usable for up to three months after they are stored. Luft said the vaccine might have a real benefit in places that don’t have these cold storage facilities. Earlier one morning this week, Luft received several emails from colleagues in South America who had heard about the trial

and knew he was involved. “They are so excited for their countries that they could get access to such a vaccine,” Luft said. The clinical trials for Novavax occurred at a time when the original Wuhan strain, which formed the basis for the vaccine, wasn’t the only COVID-19 threat. “The variants that were in the community were different” during the Novavax trial, Luft said. The vaccine was not retooled for the new variant, which is what made the results so encouraging. Like the other vaccines, the Novavax vaccine had some side effects, which included fever, head aches and soreness at the site of the injection that went away over the course of a day or two. At this point, Novavax plans to submit its data for potential approval to the Food and Drug Administration by the end of the third quarter. Luft expressed his appreciation for the opportunity Stony Brook and the residents in the area who participated in the study had to contribute to this effort. “I was just so delighted” with the results, Luft added. “It was just so gratifying to be a part of the cog in the great wheel” for a process that proved effective.

Town

Boulevard Avenue renamed after the Greenlawn Pickle King BY KIMBERLY BROWN KIMBERLY@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM To honor Greenlawn’s famous historical resident, Samuel Ballton, also known as the Pickle King, the Town of Huntington renamed Boulevard Avenue after the former slave on Wednesday, June 16, ahead of the Juneteenth holiday. Members of the town’s African-American Historic Designation Council and ancestors of Ballton gathered with town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) and others to commemorate the contributions made by Ballton that aided in the development of the hamlet in the 19th century. “He was a self-made man,” said Councilwoman Joan Cergol (D). “He represented entrepreneurship, skill and goodness, all during a time when the odds were stacked against him.” As the crowd counted down from 19 to pay tribute to Juneteenth, Carl Ballton — Samuel Ballton’s great-great-grandchild — pulled off a cover to reveal the new street sign for the road that will now be known as Samuel Ballton Way. Despite being born into slavery on a Virginia plantation in 1838, Ballton was able to flee from his confinement and rescue his wife, Rebecca, making his way up to Greenlawn in 1873. “The first thing that impressed me about Sam was the love he had for his wife, Rebecca,” Carl Ballton said. “It was a love that caused him to risk his life to free her from slavery. He was a great family man.” After he arrived in the Huntington area, Samuel Ballton worked as a tenant farmer for Alexander Gardiner, a wealthy landowner who farmed cucumbers. With Gardiner’s help, Ballton was able to save up enough money to purchase his own farmland, where he would eventually

become one of Huntington’s most influential cucumber farmers. Growing over a million and a half cucumbers for pickling in one year, Ballton rightfully earned his unofficial title as the Pickle King. “We often get asked, why pickles?” said Town Clerk Andrew Raia (R). “Well, back in the day, the largest farmers market was in Queens and thin-skinned vegetables could not survive the two-to-three-day carriage ride in the hot sun. So, Sam and others came up with the idea of pickling their produce.” Pickled cucumbers were the main reason why Ballton’s produce stood out when brought to market. His produce had the capability to last months, instead of going bad in just a few days. Sadly, a blight soon attacked Huntington’s farms, ruining the town’s crops, but Ballton was able to find a variety that was resistant to it and shared it with his community. “In today’s day and age, I’m sure that scientists would make you pay a lot of money to get that strain, but not Sam,” Raia said. “Sam gladly showed other farmers how to plant their crops. For Sam, it was always about community.” Even today, Huntington is still known for

its pickles and cabbages. Every September, Greenlawn hosts a pickle festival to educate

residents about the history of farming in Huntington.

happy for him,” said Northport Head Coach Larry Cerasi. “He does all those things when nobody is watching, to be the best at what he does – and he is.” Cerasi, who is in his first year as varsity head coach and took over for longtime coach George Searing, is not looking ahead to what he and his Tigers might do for an encore. Not yet. “I’m just going to enjoy this moment,” Cerasi said. “I’m really, really proud of this team because we didn’t start the season off too well, but we obviously turned it up as the year progressed to play at this high level.” Goaltender Andrew Tittmann, who is considered the vocal leader of the team, was spectacular in net for the entire playoffs. He made many difficult, point-blank saves and was aggressive around the crease by shooing away pesky attackers, smartly cutting off angles and making pinpoint outlet passes. “As a goalie, I see the field in front of me and have the chance to focus on all the matchups,” Tittmann said. “It’s one of my jobs to keep everybody involved, make sure everybody is talking and know what they need to do. Communication is so important in this game, and it brings everyone, offense and defense, closer as a team.” The Tigers built a 7-4 lead in the first quarter with a dizzying display of offense by

both teams. Midfielder Tristan Triolo opened the scoring for the Tigers four minutes in. Michael Meyer had his customary multiple goal game and Ryan McCarthy, Tim Kirchner and Casey Fortunato helped to build this lead with goals of their own. But Syosset would not go away. In fact, they would score five of the next six goals, bridging the second and third quarter, to take a one goal lead at 9-8 — the final one in that stretch by Syosset Brave Danny Garone, who had a hat trick on the day. Despite the heat and fatigue from playing three games in five days, the Tigers had an answer to this. Jack Helrigel tied the score almost immediately after Garone’s goal. Triolo and Emerson Payne, a defensive midfielder, each scored in the fourth giving Northport a twogoal lead. Payne’s goal was far from painfree as he lay on the baking turf for close to three minutes after a vicious stick check, again by Cutolo. “I was running at full speed and so was their defender and he hit me a little high,” Payne said. “I took my shot on goal and didn’t even know the ball went in. When my guys came over to celebrate, I thought they were coming to help me up. But I saw the

Coach of the Year when that is announced — and oh yeah, her team has won 35 games in a row, dating back to 2019. Isabella Germani had a pair of goals, and Emma Demarco and Emma McLam each had one. Tara Walsh had three assists and Midfielder Ella Cabrera patrolled the field from end to end, which maintained the Lady Tigers territorial advantage for most of the contest. Massapequa showed signs of mustering an uprising with a goal midway through the second half to cut Northport’s lead to 8-5. But Lady Tiger Goaltender Megan Morris made some key stops and got a little help when the Chiefs had a goal wiped off the board, as there was a player illegally in Morris’s crease. That would have cut the lead to two with about ten minutes to go. But it stayed at three and became four when Smith scored minutes later. At that point, the rest of the game was a countdown to Rose’s Gatorade shower — which her players were only too happy to administer. It is Rainson-Rose’s ninth Long Island Championship at Northport. After the win, the newly-crowned Lady Tigers raced over to East Islip to cheer on the boys team. Northport athletes from all different sports have been cheering for each other during this playoff-packed month of June, and Coach Cerasi feels very strongly that the support from the other teams, especially the Lady Tigers, helped push his

squad to victory. “Northport Lacrosse is like a family,” Cerasi said. “After they won, Coach Rose took her team straight to our game to support us. When our boys saw the girls team walk into the bleachers with their uniforms still on, and with their trophy, they got so motivated to follow suit — follow what the girls had done. It was a very special moment and it’s great that both teams are so genuinely proud of what the other was able to accomplish.” Many other Northport athletes were there to support their classmates in other sports throughout this playoff run and it seems to be part of the D.N.A. of what makes Northport’s athletic achievements so noteworthy. During this new era of COVID-driven alterations and concessions, the boys basketball team won Suffolk County, the football team won League III, the field hockey team won the Long Island championship, and the boys badminton team won the Suffolk County Championship. All of this winning in a four-month span. The list goes on with the 2021 successes of both cross-country teams, baseball, softball, wrestling, soccer, volleyball and girls basketball all having successful postseason runs for the White, Blue and Gold. But it was the Northport Lacrosse program, on a memorable Saturday in June, that put the two final cherries on the Tigers’ championship sundae.

People may need to be more vigilant when walking in quiet or unfamiliar areas. Photo by Rita J. Egan

Staying safe

After sitting home for over a year, people are finally emerging from their living rooms. The world has opened back up, restaurants and venues allow 100% capacity again. Things are starting to look like they’re coming back to normal. Remember before COVID-19 how many murders, shootings and disputes there were — not only on Long Island but across the country? For almost a year, there was little news of a gunman entering places of business. Schools weren’t open, so there were no high school shootings — something that happened relatively often in 2019. It was nice, wasn’t it? But now, we’re seeing a lot of instances again where we need to remember to be safe. Last week, there was a stabbing in the early morning on the Greenway Trail in Port Jefferson Station. Barely two days later, a shooting occurred outside a bar in Port Jeff village. Now that life is seemingly regular, the people who have pent-up energy, anger or who are emotionally disturbed are back out in the public. It’s time to be aware of our surroundings again. People might have forgotten to look over their shoulders while walking in a parking lot in the dark. They might not realize it’s not safe to be alone during a walk at night. If a customer looks unstable at a business, it might be good to alert someone and stay away. Things are back to normal and, unfortunately, that means the bad stuff is back, too. Keep your phone handy, bring a friend to places infrequently visited so you’re not alone and maybe invest in a whistle for your keyring to deter someone coming at you. If someone is walking toward you, look them in the eyes, so they know you can identify them if needed. Also, it never hurts to let someone know where you are going, especially when it’s late at night or you are traveling in an unfamiliar area. Nowadays there are also apps for your phone that can help you stay safe, from ones that you can check before you venture out to see if any crimes have been reported in the area, to others that will send a message to your contacts you predetermine if you scream or don’t respond to a text message from the service by a certain time. It’s important to stay safe. Look out for yourself and look out for others. We’re all in this together.

Congressman Lee Zeldin attended and spoke at a rally June 2 in support of no mask-wearing in schools. Photo by Kimberly Brown

Zeldin weaponizes issues for his quixotic campaign Congressman Lee Zeldin’s [R-NY1] “perspective” piece in the June 17 edition is filled with statements that necessitate fact checking. He blames remote learning and lockdowns for the escalation of mental health issues in children, seemingly not realizing that it is not remote learning or lockdowns that created these problems, but a global pandemic that has killed over 600,000 Americans. Blaming the preventative measures taken shows his deep lack of understanding of what factors contribute to mental health issues. His sudden concern for mental health issues is disingenuous at best, given the fact that he voted for Trump’s health care plan in 2017, which made mental health and addiction treatment preexisting conditions. Zeldin disregards the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics that all children who are not fully vaccinated wear a face mask to stop the spread of COVID-19.

As there is no vaccine available to children under 12 — which is the entire population of most elementary schools — his “unmask our kids” crusade goes against the recommendations of medical experts in the field. It endangers our youngest and most vulnerable, whose only protection against the virus is wearing a mask. Ignoring the medical experts is a testament to the sheer arrogance and ignorance that characterizes his political career. He also takes this opportunity to raise the latest right-wing talking point, that of critical race theory. It seems that Zeldin is unaware that CRT is a legal theory taught in law school. That’s disappointing, given that he is himself a lawyer. Was he not paying attention in class that day? What is and should be taught in our schools is an inclusive curriculum that highlights our diverse nation. It is not “dishonest” or “divisive,” as he states. It’s just facts and history as it happened. I suppose

for right-wing extremists like him, that truth is uncomfortable, as it exposes the bigotry of his own ideology. As Zeldin weaponizes these issues in his quixotic campaign for governor, it is important that media outlets call out the falsehoods, and not publish them as “perspective.” It is crucial that the media recognize this for what it is, a distraction from the real issues that we face. Question Zeldin on his troubling legislative record, which has disenfranchised marginalized communities and working families. Question him about his peddling of “the big lie,” and his vote against certifying the election of President Joe Biden [D]. Question how his rhetoric and actions contributed to the failed insurrection on Jan. 6. It is the media’s responsibility to hold our elected officials accountable and not merely provide them free space to peddle falsehoods. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Zeldin’s article begins with a cheap shot at Gov. Cuomo [D] by focusing on some confusion about masks in schools but completely fails to mention Cuomo’s daily briefings on TV in the thick of the epidemic providing the latest scientific updates and guiding New Yorkers on how to avoid infection. The governor’s efforts led to one of the highest vaccination rates in the country and very low infection rates. He is one of the main reasons we can even open schools and businesses.

The congressman further errs when he chooses the rights of those refusing vaccinations over the health of those who have been vaccinated. I am 80 and contracting COVID-19 would be very serious, if not fatal. I have been vaccinated but there is still a small chance I could be infected. I don’t want to incur additional risk by being forced to sit at sports events or the movies next to people who refuse vaccination. Those who choose not to be vaccinated should sit separately. Let them

take responsibility for their decision and not endanger me. Finally, Zeldin claims not to want to indoctrinate school children but he refuses to allow even the discussion of systematic racism in America. That is, to indoctrinate them with the same old views. Does he really want to teach the “Gone with the Wind” view of happy slaves? I would hope not. Adam Fisher Port Jefferson Station

Opinion Ready to cheer for the magical return of Broadway

ith my fingers crossed, I am excited about the return of shows on Broadway, which is scheduled to reopen in September. Something magical happens when a curtain rises, taking an excited audience on a musical journey to other places and other times. Decades ago, I attended a production of “The King and I.” While the famous Yule Brenner played the title role, I found the experience utterly meaningless. D. None I remember asking of the above my mother what those BY DANIEL DUNAIEF small people were doing so far away from me, as we watched that production in the third balcony.

“Next time,” my mother said through gritted teeth to my father, “I’m getting the tickets.” Sure enough, my parents took my brothers and me to “A Chorus Line.” The experience was as different as standing across the street, looking through the fog at a candy store and sitting at the counter, reading through a menu and enjoying the smell of warm waffles and ice cream and the sight of tantalizing delicacies akin to what I imagined Turkish delights from the Narnia series would taste like. The live performance so completely captivated me that I left the auditorium humming some of the songs and hoping everything would work out for characters who came from broken homes and broken dreams. Each of the actors was taking his or her shot, hoping for approval, and a job, doing what he or she loved. I have found numerous shows that have been as moving and as thrilling, including more modern performances, like “Dear Evan Hansen.” The combination of sights and sounds, the

emotional range from humor to tragedy and the riveting live voices that cause seats to vibrate and artwork to come alive provide a completely immersive artistic experience. I don’t always love every moment in a show, and I don’t always understand what a director or actor is conveying, but that doesn’t stop me from trying or from appreciating the effort. When I was in high school, I joined the pit orchestra of the musicals “The Wizard of Oz” and “West Side Story.” I far preferred the latter, with its more complicated and intricate music, although participating in each performance provided artistic highlights for my high school career. On one of my first dates with my wife, we attended “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” starring Nathan Lane. The show, which I had seen once or twice before, was a familiar pleasure, while Lane’s periodic breaking of character and hamming up the role tickled the audience, sharing the equivalent of a modern-day wink with an appreciative crowd.

After the show, I was thrilled to find that my wife shared my love and appreciation for the Great White Way. We repeated lines that amused us, commented on the sets, and appreciated the spectacular stage presence of an acting legend who, somehow, show after show, seemed to be completely in the moment. As we continue to emerge from a pandemic in which we discussed books we’d read and Netflix shows we’d seen, I am eagerly looking forward to returning to the cushioned seats, the brightlycolored programs, the friendly ushers, and the hard-working cast members who inspire and elevate my life with their dedication, talent and hard work. Who knows? This year, I might even go back to dressing up for the occasion, tying a tie, finding matching dark socks, and wearing dress shoes as the lights return to live performances, the orchestra holds up its instruments, and the actors take deep breaths, preparing to serenade those lucky enough to score tickets to a transformative ride.

season. And while I was wearing a life vest, I had casually closed only the top couple of toggles, so the vest rode up to the level of my chin, pinning the edge of my broad-brimmed hat that had come askew in front of my eyes. While I knew I was in the water, I couldn’t see a thing. It took us several minutes to sort ourselves out, my son, daughter-law and myself. We worked to untangle ourselves as we cling to the side of one of the overturned pontoons. Then the boat became caught in a mooring into which the wind had blown us. We hoped one of the two motor boats that came along would stop to help. They passed us by, but one slowed down to take a video of us struggling in the water. It is hard to right a catamaran, and in the sudden heavy wind, it proved impossible. “Maybe we should call for help,” my daughterin-law suggested, and proceeded to do just that. Fortunately Evelyn and Greg Haegele, in their sailboat aptly named “Necessity” heard us

and slowly approached. My children were most concerned with getting me to safety and up the swim ladder that Greg had thrown over the side, my daughter-law helping me swim over to their boat. My son calling out my age with concern in his voice. It was not easy to climb the six steps in my sopping wet clothes, but as they say at NASA, failure was not an option. Then Greg passed his sunglasses to his wife and made a beautiful dive to swim over and help right the Hobie. Together they were successful despite the strong wind. As my children clambered back aboard and sailed off, a police boat, followed by a fire boat dashed after them, checking to see if all was well. It seems some alert person in a waterfront home in Belle Terre, witnessed the mishap and called 911. Meanwhile the Haegeles took me back to Port Jefferson via the launch service and then drove me home, a drenched dog.

A ‘Thank You’ note to my rescuers

three-year-old golden retriever, missing for two weeks, was pulled out of Barnegat Bay Wednesday by two blessed souls. I know how that golden feels. I was pulled out of Port Jefferson Harbor Sunday and was I ever grateful. I’ll tell you the whole story. My family is visiting, finally, as the pandemic fades. That includes three sons, three daughters-in-law, one granddaughter, two grandsons, (the third was working), one dog Between and two cats. Sunday you and me late afternoon we noted BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF the arrival of what sailors call “the cocktail breeze,” and to enjoy

it, three of us went out in the harbor on a 16-foot Hobie Cat. The catamaran is little more than two pontoons connected by a sturdy webbing on which passengers sit. There is a mainsail and a jib, and the light craft really flies across the water. But there is no motor, only an oar in case the wind dies down, and we have to row ourselves back to shore-hardly a desirable state of affairs, as you can imagine. So, there we were, happily zipping along, when the breeze turned into a sudden gust, caught us off guard, and lifted one pontoon out of the water. I was sitting above the other, and I saw the colorful mainsail rising up like a wall and coming toward me. The abrupt knot in the pit of my stomach confirmed that we were about to capsize. That had never before happened with this boat. I braced for a shock. To my pleasant surprise, the water temperature, while not warm, was more comfortable than I expected for so early in the
