Hauppauge

Superintendent offers positive approaches to self-worth BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWMEDIA.COM People everywhere are talking about the celebrity college admission cheating scandal, since more than 50 people were indicted last week on felony charges. Television actress Lori Loughlin — voted mostly likely to succeed in Hauppauge High School class of ’82 — was among those arrested. The situation has turned tragic for her family and the other people involved. But, as people in education often say in the face of crisis, “Let’s make this a valuable teaching moment.” Dennis O’Hara, superintendent for Hauppauge School District, agreed to respond to a few questions about the situation. Here’s his advice to the community: What lessons can be learned about selfworth? The greatest lesson here is that one’s selfworth is an inside job, meaning it comes from within. If one feels less than another, or inadequate, being handed something or gaining an advantage through cheating, is when feelings of inadequacy only increase. Low selfworth is erased only through hard work and perseverance. In life, we deserve what we earn

— nothing more, nothing less. I’d like to add that integrity is priceless. Once it is given up it cannot easily be regained. In this case, the integrity of these parents, and possibly more importantly, of their children is severely compromised — in a very public way. I hope

they, and current high school students, realize it was not worth it. What messages do you want high school seniors and families in the community at-large to take away from this situation? I would like our students to understand there

is a sense of pride and real peace in rejoicing in accomplishments that are earned. Life is about a sense of purpose, about finding a calling and striving to be the best one can be in that purpose. It’s less important to measure oneself against others than it is to strive for one’s own dreams. I have four sons, and I often remind them life will be filled with challenges, but there is no glory in the accomplishment if it was without difficulty. In essence, having something handed to you does not build self-worth. I often say it is not about where one is at the moment that matters, but where one is headed that counts. Each day be better than the day before and everything else will take care of itself. Regarding college admissions, parents should not look for the best window sticker. Instead, they should help their children find the college or university that is the best fit. I can tell you from personal experience this approach relieves a great deal of stress for the parents and the child. In Hauppauge, we embrace this philosophy and are proud of the effort our students are putting forth. One last thought regarding parenting and college admissions is that I would much prefer to be judged by the kind of men my sons have become than by the college they attended.

Smithtown

Ebo Hill construction puts devastating fire in the past BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Last year a pizzeria owner never would have imagined that his love for an old mansion would take him from hope, to devastation, and back to hope. It was March 26 last year when Ebo Hill, a nearly 175-year-old three-story mansion on Edgewood Avenue in Smithtown, burned to its studs. Owner Richard Albano bought the house just a few weeks before with the hopes of restoring it to its former glory. Hundreds of firefighters from Smithtown Fire Department as well as surrounding areas were on the scene to fight the fire. A year later, Albano said, at times, he’ll be driving at night down Edgewood and feels he can still see the flames. “In some ways, it feels like it was just yesterday, and sometimes it feels like it was decades ago,” he said. Fire inspectors found that the fire started inside a second-floor wall next to the fireplace, which had been in use earlier that day. Albano said floor beams were about a foot into the chimney for support and over the years the mortar decayed, which allowed the heat to get to the beams and start the fire. The homeowner, formerly of Deer Park and owner of Richie’s Pizza in both Deer Park and Commack, was looking for a new house when he stumbled upon Ebo Hill, a home that included 17 bedrooms, two kitchens, a ballroom and numerous bathrooms. The house, which hadn’t been occupied since 2001, belonged to descendants of Smithtown founder Richard Smythe for generations and was once the starting point for the town’s fox hunts. While he could have sold the property after the fire, Albano said he didn’t give up hope in living in his dream home. With the house’s 1908

floor plans in hand — found by his fiancé at the Smithtown Library — he decided he would replicate the mansion. Albano said he is grateful for the mild winter, which created favorable conditions for construction. The outside of the home should be completed in the next month, and he’s hoping the landscaping and driveway will be done in the middle or end of May. The HVAC system is already done, and the electricity and plumbing will be completed in the next couple of weeks. Albano said the home was once moved back on the property, and he rebuilt it 125 feet forward from the original location, which has given him 200 feet of backyard and more than 200 feet of front yard, which has also made the house more centrally located on the property. Smithtown Historical Society historian Brad Harris said when he first heard of the fire last year he thought history was lost. “I figured that was the end of it,” Harris said. However, after meeting with Albano he realized the homeowner had a deep appreciation for its history, and the historian thinks he’s doing a good job in replicating the mansion. Albano said during his journey with Ebo Hill, besides meeting with Harris, people who have lived in the neighborhood for decades and others who lived in the home have shared their stories with him. With an appreciation of the property’s history, Albano salvaged anything he could from the rubble left behind after the fire. He said steel beams that were still standing after the fire will be incorporated into items such as a table. Flooring from a room he called the ballroom will be used for a closet floor. Also, he

had a needlepoint of a Christian hymnal verse and the original weather vane in a storage unit. “I just want to use as much as possible out of the home,” he said. Albano said he has been overwhelmed with the support he’s received from the community. As soon as news of the fire broke, social media began buzzing and many who belong to the Facebook page he created to document the renovation of the mansion encouraged him to replicate the structure. “I’m just amazed at how supportive a community can be,” he said, adding Town of Smithtown officials from Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) to the building department, inspectors and engineering department also have been a big help to him. “Everybody wants to see the home rebuilt, and I will replicate it the best I can,” he said. Michal Frankowski, an IT worker who is currently starting a construction company, has worked with Albano on the house since last year. He said when he first saw the remains of the mansion he was surprised that the homeowner was planning to restore it. “He really loves that place, the whole lot,” Frankowski said. “That old mansion, he just really wants to show the people a replica of it, and I admire him for it.” He said Albano hasn’t seemed stressed at all, even though he’s sure he is, but he keeps things under control. Frankowski, who recently moved to Kings Park from Bushwick, said he wasn’t too familiar with the history of the mansion but is looking forward to learning more about it in the future.

“That place is magical,” Frankowski said. “Just walking around it. I don’t know there’s something in there. Something in it that has really good energy. I’m really looking forward to it being done.” While reconstructing the house was a financial undertaking that Albano wasn’t prepared for, the homeowner said he’s a passionate person who isn’t afraid to take on a big project. “I fell in love with the home,” he said. “It’s tough to rationalize what you should do when you’re in love with something like I am with this home.” Albano said he is looking forward to sharing his love for the mansion with residents after construction and before he moves in by opening the house to the public for one day.

State, county officials aim to get funding back for veterans support program BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County and state officials plan on embarking on a statewide campaign to advocate for the restoration of funds for a veterans peer support program some have called vital. At a press conference March 15 Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) alongside state Sen. John Brooks (D-Massapequa) urged the state Legislature to restore funding for the Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Project, after the proposed executive budget of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) included no funding for the project. “It is our profound duty to serve our veterans both at home and abroad,” Bellone said. “Often times when our veterans return home they carry scars with them. The Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Project has a proven track record of assisting our veterans regain their lives and I urge Albany to reverse course immediately and fund this vital program.” The project, which is overseen by Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency and Suffolk County United Veterans, aims to serve veterans, active duty members, reserve and National Guard troops suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other adjustment conditions. One of the program goals is to provide peer-topeer support and counseling to veterans who are facing challenges transitioning back to civilian life, along with offering a safe, supportive space for veterans to interact with one another. Brooks, chairman of the state’s Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military

Affairs, spoke on the challenges many veterans face when they come home and the good the program does. “These are heroes helping heroes,” the state senator said. “This is a program that enables veterans with knowledge and understanding of issues like PTSD, traumatic brain injury, depression and substance abuse to meet with and counsel veterans who are suffering from one, or several, of these afflictions as a result of their service to our country.” The senator stressed the urgent need for this program and others like it. The program is named after Pfc. Joseph Dwyer, a Mount Sinai resident and U.S. Army combat medic who had served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. After returning home and struggling with PTSD, Dwyer succumbed to his condition in 2008. Last year, 23 counties across the state received $3.735 million in project funding. Joe Cognitore, commander of VFW Post 6249 in Rocky Point, knows the program works and echoed Senator Brooks’ sentiments that programs like the Dwyer project are necessary and vital for veterans. “It’s veterans to veterans,” he said. “Mental health is an important issue.” Cognitore said on a grassroot level the program works, and he was disappointed about the proposed funding cuts. “This is not a Democrat or Republican issue — it’s a bipartisan one,” he said. “We are all in the foxhole.” As chair for the VFW Department of New York Legislative Committee and a member of

Rocky Point VFW Post 6249 Comdr. Joe Cognitore. File photo by Desirée Keegan

the VFW National Legislative Committee, Cognitore was in Albany lobbying earlier this month with other veterans groups urging lawmakers to restore full funds for the program. This year Suffolk County only received a $185,000 share of the money in the state budget. Previously, when the project had its full funds there were plans on expanding the program further into New York state, in addition to the already 23 participating counties. Similarly, two years ago, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) introduced legislation to expand the Dwyer program to the national level. Cognitore mentioned if he had another chance to speak with Cuomo and other lawmakers he would tell them not to slash the budget of a program without due diligence and background research.

“It’d be one thing if this program wasn’t working but that’s not the case here — it works,” he said. “Put yourself in our boots, come visit us and see how the program runs.” Cognitore hopes lawmakers in Albany reverse course and restore funds to the program. He said they are fortunate to have county and state officials on their side who are committed to helping veterans. Bellone plans on traveling to the Hudson Valley and Western New York over the course of the next few weeks to build a coalition of state and local officials on the issue of restoring funding. Beginning in 2012, more than 10,000 veterans have participated in the Joseph P. Dwyer program countywide. Suffolk County is home to the largest veterans population in New York state.

Bellone introduces legislation to revitalize shellfish industry BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Long Island has become synonymous with shellfish farming, though in recent years it has become increasingly difficult for farmers to sell and market their products. With that in mind, County Executive Steve Bellone (D) launched a pilot program March 11 designed to remove the red tape to assist local oyster farmers by allowing vendors to expand their current retail opportunities. “Shellfish farming has been an important part of Long Island’s heritage for decades, and plays an important role in cleaning our waterways and promoting economic activity,” Bellone said. He will be introducing legislation to implement an annual temporary event permit for vendors of shellfish grown or harvested in Long Island waters. The permit will not include fees for the first two years. “The introduction of this legislation will go a long way in removing barriers that have made it difficult for our farmers to sell and market their locally sourced products,” the county executive said. Under current regulations, shellfish farmers must apply for a vendors temporary food service permit with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services before they can market and sell their products. The permits cost $95 and are valid only for a single event at a fixed location, with a 14-day limit. A permit’s time restriction makes it hard for shellfish farmers to participate in weekly and monthly events such as farmers markets and fairs. As a result, it limits a shellfish farmer’s ability to do business.

“The county’s aquaculture industry is vital not only to our Island’s history but to our economy as well,” said county Legislator Bill Lindsay (D-Bohemia), chairman of the Suffolk County Legislature Economic Development Committee. “This industry generates millions of dollars in revenue, supports our local restaurants and provides our residents with world-class locally grown products.” In addition to improving the shellfish industry, the county will continue efforts to improve water quality and restore marine ecosystems. Past efforts include the 2010 aquaculture lease program. That program secured marine access for shellfish cultivation in Peconic Bay and Gardiners Bay to accommodate growth, while considering the needs of existing shellfish agriculture businesses. According to the county’s Department of Economic Development and Planning, the program’s total economic output from 2012 to 2017 was estimated at $13 million. “Long Island’s farmers and aquaculture producers are grateful for this economic incentive proposal put forth by County Executive Bellone to help us market and sell our products direct to consumers,” said Rob Carpenter, administrative director of Long Island Farm Bureau. “It will keep jobs, increase sales tax revenue and continue all the associated environmental benefits the industry does for Long Island residents and our waters.” According to the Long Island Oyster Growers Association, local oysters filter approximately 900 million gallons of water every single day. Oysters improve waterways by eating algae, filtering out particulates and excess nutrients as well as creating habitats for other organisms.

The Smithtown Library is collecting personal accounts of Smithtown World War II veterans to preserve a permanent record of their military service experience. Library staff will conduct, record and make the interviews available to the public through its website. A copy of each interview will also be sent to the Library of Congress for inclusion in its national Veterans History Project. If you or someone you know is interested in participating in the Long Island Room’s WWII Veterans Oral History Project, please call 631-360-2480, ext. 197, or send an email to longislandroom@smithlib.org.

Opinion

Editorial

Let the sunshine in

Journalists make a living often by shining a light on the behind-the-scenes actions of government officials and other people in power. The role of the press is critical to a healthy society. To promote open government, both the federal and state governments have strong laws that preserve a person’s rights to access government records and meetings. Journalists regularly rely on these laws to do their job, but these rights belong to all people. Anyone can request records and attend the meetings of elected officials. In last week’s issue, TBR News Media participated in Sunshine Week, sponsored by the American Society of News Editors and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. The initiative’s goal is to better inform the public of their open government rights to access records and meetings of government entities of all sizes. We focused on New York State’s Freedom of Information Law and found that some local government offices were following antiquated practices. Since 1978, governments in New York have been required to adopt a record access code consistent with that of New York State. Not every government is up to date. We found that most government offer preprinted FOIL request forms on their website but lacked record access clause in their online code book. Fortunately, the state’s Department of State Committee on Open Government makes it easy for officials to update their code. Its website provides model regulations that can be easily adopted. We’re proud to say that in response to our reporting, Port Jefferson Village quickly agreed to review and revise their code as needed. Another village, Head of the Harbor, was more resistant. It’s important for people to know that since 2006 New York State requires that government entities accept and respond to FOIL requests via email, if they have email. If they use emails internally, executive director of the Committee on Open Government, Robert Freeman, said that it’s hard to imagine why it can’t be used for record access. New York was the first state in the nation to address this problem. In today’s electronic age, there’s little need to physically go to town or village hall to request or receive records. Transparency in government is imperative, and we encourage all town and village halls, as well as schools, to review their practices to ensure the easiest means for the public to access records. The more resistant a government entity is to follow open government rules, the more critical it is for people to challenge it. For more information on New York’s Freedom of Information Law, the Open Meetings Law and the Personal Privacy Protection Law, visit www.dos.ny.gov/coog/.

Letters to the editor

Reps. using Jewish pain as a political prop On March 7, the House of Representatives voted on a resolution that condemned bigotry against “African Americans, ... Native Americans, ... and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, ... immigrants and others.” While this began as an issue over comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) regarding Israeli government policy and the role and influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in shaping US/Israel policy, this resolution branched beyond this specific issue. As a Jew who has seen a rise in antiSemitic hate crimes, including in our own district, I was pleased to see hate as a whole denounced. My belief as a Jew is that it is our obligation to stand against all hate, to stand for and with those who

are discriminated against, as we know all too well the pain of the sting of bigotry. The resolution overwhelmingly passed the House 407-23. The 23 who voted against this anti-bigotry resolution were all Republicans, and two of them are our representatives, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Peter King (R-Seaford). Both of these men ignored the diverse populations they represent and voted for bigotry. King mocked the resolution, saying it “lumped in anti-Semitism with Islamophobia, racism and bias against Asia-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, Latinos, Hindus, Sikhs and the LGBTQ community.” Why Congressman King would have an issue with denouncing hate in all forms, especially given that he represents many of these groups as his

constituents is morally troubling. Congressman Zeldin took it even further, saying that he voted against the resolution because it didn’t include people “targeted for wearing MAGA hats.” These two men, who have just had the closest election of their careers and are losing rather than gaining voter support, are using the Republican Party’s new strategy of weaponizing Jewish pain as a political prop and dividing, rather than uniting, their constituents. As a Jewish constituent of Mr. Zeldin’s, I strongly denounce this strategy and stand united with all victims of bigotry, because hate against one of us is hate against all of us.

Congress should support 9/11 responders Kevin from Smithtown is a former New York Police Department officer who worked on and around the pile at ground zero for close to 12 months. In January of 2018, Kevin was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s diffused large B-cell lymphoma and underwent six months of chemotherapy, which left him with devastating symptoms that will stay with him for the rest of his life. James Zadroga was another one of the many fearless leaders who stepped up in the wake of 9/11. He was also the first NYPD officer whose death in 2006 was connected to toxic exposure at the World Trade Center site. The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was signed into law in 2011 to help our 9/11 first responders. Five years later, the Zadroga Act was permanently reauthorized and included $4.6 billion for the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund over five years, which was established to provide compensation for the victims of 9/11 and their families. It continues to provide compensation for those suffering from 9/11-related illnesses and their loved ones. First responders who worked on the pile day and night, aiding in the search, rescue and cleanup efforts, were breathing in toxic debris and ash which is now known to have caused over 50

different types of cancer. However, last month, the Special Master of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund issued an alarming report, stating its funding was insufficient to compensate all claims and the fund would have to make severe cuts to awards across the board. This is unacceptable and regardless of party affiliation, regardless of which district or state you come from, it is imperative legislation to fully fund the VCF, have it passed and sent to the president immediately to become law, so we can ensure these victims receive the compensation they deserve. These include the very men and women who in the face of evil were willing to put it all on the line to help save their fellow Americans — who ran into the towers as everyone ran out. It is unconscionable that time and again they have been forced to plead their case as to why they are worthy of our support. After learning of the across the board cuts to claims, Kevin wrote to me saying, “To give out awards reduced by 70% is a slap in my face and all others that are now suffering.” He’s right. When he was working the pile day and night for months on end, he wasn’t thinking about himself or what this might mean for his future. Kevin was thinking about our nation. In the wake of

unimaginable terror, Kevin was there for us — stepping up to the plate to do what had to be done. The idea that now, during his time of need, we would abandon him and renege on our promises appalls me. This past Sept. 11, 17 years since the attacks, we came together as we always do to remember those who were taken from us on that day. But last year marked an especially harrowing occasion. By the end of the 2018, more people had died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day the towers fell. That’s one of the most important reasons why Congress must immediately pass the Never Forget the Heroes Act, which will fully fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund and reauthorize it to 2090, ensuring 9/11 victims and their families receive the support they have more than earned. We cannot hesitate in taking action. We cannot hesitate when it comes to keeping our promises to these brave men and women. In honor of them and the families who carry on their memory, Congress must do its job and fully fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. In the aftermath of 9/11 we vowed we’d never forget, and we’re going to make sure of it. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) U.S. Representative, District 1

The maddening search for the missing sock

A

reader wrote in to request a column about the search for missing items. The following is my attempt to oblige that request. Right now, someone, somewhere is looking for something. Whatever it is, a birthday card bought three months ago for that special day tomorrow, a scarf that matches an outfit D. None perfectly or a piece of paper from an of the above art store for a critBY DANIEL DUNAIEF ical presentation, will cost less in time and money to purchase anew than the time

it takes to search through the house. And yet most people don’t want to give up the search because they figure they’ll find it, save themselves the trip and prove to their spouses that they aren’t completely hopeless. The search for stuff can go from the manic “Where’s my hat, where’s my hat, where’s my hat,” to the humorous “Oh, haaat, where are you? Come to me, hat. Wouldn’t you like to share a spring day outside?” to the grittedteeth angry “I know I put the hat here and it’s not here, which means it either walked away on its own or someone picked it up and put it somewhere else.” When stuff disappears, we return to the same location over and over, searching the closet, flipping the cushions off the couch repeatedly, only to put them back and throw them off again, hoping that, somehow, the magic that caused the item to disappear will bring it back through our frantic search.

Most of us aren’t like Seinfeld or my superorganized sister-in-law, whose garage is probably better coordinated and arranged than most Home Depots. I recognize, of course, that my wife and I are on the other end of that spectrum. I’m not sure how the people with the organizational gene do it. I look at a pile of stuff and separate out everything into broad categories. There’s junk I might need outside, junk I might need inside, junk I can’t readily identify — and then I stare at it. At some point, my frustration at my inability to sort through it becomes sufficiently high that I put the pile back together and, lo and behold, the junk makes it almost impossible to find one specific item, even if what I seek is in that pile. My life is filled with figurative haystacks and my ability and my patience to search for the needles is minimal. When I’m hunting for something, I close my eyes and try to retrieve from my memory the last time I saw it. Aha! I think. It was in the living

room. No, maybe the dining room. No, no, I’m sure it was the kitchen. Sometimes, I break down and buy the stupid item again, knowing that I need a specific type of tape, a matching pair of socks or something that I can’t fake having because something like it —- a Hawaiian shirt versus a button-down Oxford shirt — just won’t do. When I return with the desired item, I take a moment to try to figure out where best to put it so I can find it again the next day or in a week, if I’m that organized. I walk slowly around the house, examining the piles of stuff that I just searched through, knowing that the piles are seeking recruits to join them. I come across an unusual and little used location, which I’m sure I’ll remember. As I find the perfect place for the redundant item, far from the all-consuming clutter, I sometimes discover that the joke’s on me: The original birthday card or missing sock await in exactly the same location.

March brings spring and college acceptance letters

P

robably the worst part of the fraud committed by parents to get their children into top colleges is the message it sends to their children. The parents are saying plainly that the children are not capable of succeeding on their own. Regardless of what they may have told their children, actions speak louder than words, and these parents have Between demonstrated that in order to sucyou and me ceed, one has to BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF lie, cheat, bribe and otherwise con one’s way to the goal. And what is the goal here? Just getting into college, not making a million-dollar deal or getting on Easy Street for life. Yes,

a college degree usually helps a person to get a better job. It also supposedly helps that person to become a more developed human. But a college graduate is merely on the threshold of the rest of his or her life, with no guarantees of any sort except the number of years one has spent in schools. There are colleges considered top tier, but they promise nothing more than a sheepskin if one passes all the requisite courses. Are the professors better in a top-tier college? One might think that. Or one might suspect that some of the big name faculty use postgraduate teaching assistants to do the daily teaching with little student contact while they do research, travel to give lectures and win grants, contributing to the university’s standing more than to that of the students’ education. A top college degree might be a good name to drop in social circles, but in a long life performance is ultimately what counts. Who gets the benefit of that name? Is it the child? Or is it the parents when relating the successes of their offspring? I remember a cartoon in one of the magazines about the time

my children were going through that nerveracking period of receiving acceptances — and rejections. In the center of the cartoon was the back of a car, with a close-up of the rearview window. And at the bottom left corner of the window, proudly displayed, was the sticker of the desired college, followed by the words, “also accepted in” with the other top-tier college stickers paraded across the width of the glass. Exactly whose victory was that touting? Why, that of the parents, of course. Many of the kids probably didn’t have a car or couldn’t even drive yet. Now let’s be honest here. Some parents have always tried to help their kids succeed, whether by throwing in a hand with the eighth-grade science project or polishing French pronunciation. And those parents who could afford it have sometimes made lavish donations to colleges in the hopes of aiding the admissions process. But those donations, if they build a new room for the library or contribute to the purchase of equipment in the lab, ultimately help many students. Most important, they are visible and not dishonest.

And whether we like it or not, people with more money sometimes use their money to their own advantage. Even the ability to pay for tutoring for the SATs divides the students into the haves and the have-nots. But that’s not illegal. The other truism is this. Whether in college or in life or just inputting on a computer, garbage in means garbage out. If a student is committed and diligent about studying in college, and there are many good colleges in this country, that student will benefit from the college experience. The opposite is also true. It doesn’t so much matter where one goes to college, but rather what one gets from the college in addition to the piece of paper documenting one’s attendance and tuition payments. My granddaughter is a high school senior this year and waiting to hear where she will go for the next four years. We all are waiting to hear with her. She has already received acceptances so she knows she will be a college student by fall. Wherever she goes, she will get there honestly and because of the exceptional person that she is. We are so proud of her.

St. James celebrates St. Patrick’s Day 2019 BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It was a great day for the Irish March 16 as thousands lined Lake Avenue to enjoy the 35th annual St. James St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The sun was shining as firefighters, drum and pipe bands, Scouts, legislators and more marched through St. James to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. This year Denise Davis, vice president of the St. James Chamber of Commerce, led the parade as grand marshal.
