In a special election held just nine months before the term is over, Leslie Kennedy (R) was elected Tuesday to succeed her husband, Suffolk County Comptroller John M. Kennedy Jr. (R), in the county Legislature’s 12th District. Leslie Kennedy, a 58-yearold resident of Nesconset, bested Democrat Deborah Monaco of Smithtown in Tuesday’s special election with 993 total votes from Republicans, Conservatives and Independents versus Monaco’s 149 from strictly Democrats, according to the county Board of Election’s unofficial vote totals. She previously served as an administrative aide under her husband when he held a seat in the Legislature. The current comptroller was elected to his seat in November, leaving the Legislature spot vacant at the beginning of this year. Both Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and the entire Suffolk County Republican Committee had pegged Leslie Kennedy as their choice to succeed her husband, calling her a hard-working and popular figure in her community. “The Democrats tried to

make Leslie Kennedy an issue in the [November] county comptroller race, where John Kennedy scored a substantial victory on one line, the Republican line,” Suffolk GOP Chair John Jay LaValle said. “The move backfired terribly and cemented Leslie Kennedy’s reputation as a constituent favorite. Her record of service is unassailable and she will continue a powerful legacy of protecting our tax dollars and serving the people of the 12th District.”

Monaco, 55, had not been actively campaigning for the seat, according to Suffolk County Democratic Chairman Richard Schaffer, who said her name was on the ballot in order to provide voters with options come March 31. She previously served as secretary of the Suffolk Democratic Committee as well as the county’s Board of Elections. Kennedy Jr. beat Democrat Jim Gaughran, chairman of the Suffolk County Water

Authority, with 53 percent of the vote to 47 percent. After his election, a jubilant Kennedy vowed to “open up the books,” in Suffolk County, while Gaughran said he had “no regrets about this race.” The 12th Legislative District is a largely Republicandominated region of the North Shore and includes Smithtown, Nesconset, Hauppauge, the Village of the Branch, Lake Grove and parts of Commack, Islandia and Ronkonkoma.

State’s budget comes with new ed. regulations By erika karp

Just a few hours before the New York State Legislature approved the state’s 201516 budget, which includes a number of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s education reform initiatives, school districts across the North Shore finally got to know how much aid they’ll receive next year. The state aid runs showed districts getting more than they expected, since many budgeted around a 1.7 percent increase. Earlier this year, Cuomo (D) announced state aid would only increase by $377 million — a 1.7 percent increase from this year — if his state education reforms didn’t pass the Legislature. The Smithtown School District was doled a roughly 5 percent increase in total aid for the 2015-2016 academic years.

And while not all of the initiatives passed, a few did, so the aid increased by about $1.4 billion statewide. “This is a plan that keeps spending under 2 percent, reforms New York’s education bureaucracy, implements the nation’s strongest and most comprehensive disclosure laws for public officials and makes the largest investment in the upstate economy in a generation,” Cuomo said in a statement. But not all were convinced the education initiatives would reform public schools. The Education Transformation Act of 2015 amends the teacher evaluation system, changes the time to gain tenure from three to four years and creates two designations for failing schools. The hot-button item, though, was the teacher evaluation system. BUDgeT continued on page a12

Girl Scouts step up to house Kings Park vets By BarBara Donlon

Kings Park Girl Scout Troop 408 is doing a lot more than just selling cookies. They are helping to refurbish homes for veterans in their community. It all started last summer when the fifth graders from R.J.O. Intermediate School in Kings Park began selling jewelry to raise money to install a railing at their local Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall as part of their bronze award. Their initial efforts brought in $1,800 and helped pay for a brand new railing that has since been installed outside the building in November. Now, the Girl Scouts are onto even bigger and better things to help out. “They want to get out there and get their hands dirty on the job,” co-leader Camille “Mima” Cardoza said. The girls have been working diligently selling jewelry and purple hearts to the community to help raise more money for the project. Every Sunday throughout the farmer’s market season, the girls pitched their ideas and sold as many bracelets and necklaces as they could to help raise the money for the railing. And looking forward, Cardoza said they plan on doing the same thing this season with the hope of raising even more money for the veterans. Through the nonprofit Fairway Foundation, two mortgage-free homes will be awarded to Purple Heart recipients who

have fought in Afghanistan or Iraq. This initiative will be orchestrated through the joint efforts of Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D), the Fairway Foundation and the community. Rosemarie Kluepfel, who works for Fairway’s Independent Mortgage Corporation, and is helping run the foundation, said she was glad to see the community stepping up for its veterans to show their appreciation. The goal, Cardoza said, is to get at least two homes and gut them to cater to the needs of the veterans and their families. People in the community are donating most of the labor and supplies. The Girl Scouts are also working on raising money to help pay for the essential materials, Cardoza said. Not only will the Girl Scouts raise money, but they will also help gut and refurbish the homes whenever their schedule allows it. They said they look forward to seeing the veterans’ reactions when they see their new home. “I’m excited to help fix up the houses for them,” 10-year-old Talia Matonti said. “I just want them to feel comfortable and be happy because they did really nice things for us.” The young girls said they understand the sacrifices the veterans made, and they have a deep appreciation for their efforts, which is why they want to help. They feel

it’s their turn to sacrifice their time and do whatever they can, the girls said. “I want to help because they gave so much to us and hardly anyone gives back to them,” Mikayla Donohue, 10, said. “It feels good to give back to them.” Caitlin McNulty, 10, echoed the other Girl Scouts’ comments, reflecting on the moment the railing was unveiled at the VFW hall. She called it one of the happiest days as she saw all the smiles

on the veterans’ faces. The girls plan to continue their jewelry sales and can be found at the Kings Park farmers market beginning in May. All the proceeds will go toward materials to help build the homes for the veterans. Veterans who served in either Iraq or Afghanistan and received a Purple Heart can go to veteranshomegiveaway.org and apply if they are in need of a home. The application deadline is April 15.

Bellone focuses on Connect Long Island, water quality By Julianne CuBa

At his fourth State of the County address, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone ensured the county government and public that he has never been more optimistic about the state of the region and its future. At the William H. Rogers Legislative Building in Hauppauge on March 26, Bellone (D) also took time commending the county legislature for successfully and efficiently reducing government by more than 10 percent — an initiative that will save Suffolk County taxpayers more than $100 million a year. The county executive announced that when he took office three years ago, the unemployment rate for Suffolk County stood at 8.2 percent. As of the end of 2014, it stands at 4.2 percent. However, Bellone continued, “I’m not here to talk about where we are today. I am much more interested in talking about where we are going and what the future could look like.” In order to combat what Bellone said he considers the fundamental issue of our time — a two-decade trend of losing young, qualified and educated people to other regions of the county — he pointed to the county’s economic development plan, Connect Long Island. “We cannot reach our economic potential, we cannot build a more prosperous future, if we are not a region that can attract and retain the young, high-knowledge,

high-skill workers necessary to build an innovative economy,” he said. Connect Long Island will make progress on the five crucial issues that are driving young people away, which, according to Bellone include high costs, lack of transportation options, lack of quality affordable rental housing, lack of affordable housing in desired environments and a lack of high-paying jobs. “We build walkable, transit-oriented downtowns that have strong, public transportation links to one another and to universities, research centers, job centers and parks and open space. Effectively, what Connect LI will do is to build a quality of life ecosystem that will be attractive to young people,” he said. But, unfortunately, Bellone said, the lack of sewage systems in many of Suffolk County’s downtown areas — which are critical parts of the region’s future — is limiting the opportunity for growth. Suffolk County’s sewage problem impacts not only the regions economic development but its water quality as well. The water quality issue was one of the three major problems on which Bellone focused. “We have 360,000 unsewered homes in Suffolk County — that is more than the entire state of New Jersey. Those 360,000 homes represent, potentially, 360,000 customers. So I’m happy to report that four companies donated 19 systems, which we are putting into the ground to test under

local conditions. At the same time, with the leadership of Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and Dr. Samuel Stanley, [Stony Brook University] will begin a new program to identify the next generation of septic technology, with the goal of providing better, more cost-efficient options for Suffolk County residents,” Bellone said. Bellone announced that with the help of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), the county’s state and federal partners, and U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Photo by Julianne Cuba and Sen. Kirsten Gil- Suffolk County executive Steve Bellone shakes hands with librand (D-NY), he was county Sheriff Vincent DeMarco. able to secure $383 million for one of the largest investments in clean water infrastructure in more than 40 years — “We must ask ourselves if we are going the Reclaim Our Water Initiative. to control the irresponsible and reckless Legislator and Minority Leader Kevin spending and borrowing, we must become McCaffrey (R) said that he agrees 100 per- more focused on the county’s ever-increascent with everything the county executive ing debt,” McCaffrey said. “We must ask said in regard to economic development ourselves if we want to throw debt on the and improving drinking water.

Car show revs up Smithtown’s St. Patrick School rolls out 10th year of family fun What began as a family conversation is now an annual event that car enthusiasts across Long Island look forward to. It was 10 years ago when John Forlenza and his wife Cindy had two children attending St. Patrick School. Their daughter Jessica was in second grade and their son John in preschool. As parents of Catholic school children, John and Cindy Forlenza said they knew well the need for fundraising. They struggled to come up with new fundraising ideas for the school, but it was their children who came up with an idea that was near and dear to their father’s heart — a car show. John Forlenza said he was always an avid car enthusiast. His interest in cars began when he was younger when he attended car shows with his father and spent many nights as a teenager in the garage with a kerosene heater working on his car. He is also currently the proud owner of a 1957 Chevy Bel Air two-door sedan. So with the school administration’s approval and the backing of St. Patrick’s pastor, Msgr. Ellsworth R. Walden, John Forlenza proceeded with the car show idea, starting the St. Patrick School Car Show from scratch. Now, 10 years later, the St. Patrick School Car Show is a favorite among Long Island car enthusiasts. This year’s Car Show is set for Sunday, April 26, with a rain date scheduled for May 3, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the grounds of St. Patrick Church. It will include a huge variety of cars, trucks and motorcycles as well as a large section of movie replica cars and monster trucks. Admission is $5 for adults, children free. Show car admission is $15 and motorcycles $5. This year’s show will also feature the actual U.S. National Broadway Chitty Chitty Bang Bang touring car from the stage production of the “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” musical, the 9-11 Veterans Car, the Mach 5 Speed Racer, the Christine 1958 Plymouth Fury with the original screen used engine, interior and body parts, and the Suffolk Sheriff’s Department. In keeping with its tradition of being a day of fun for the whole family, the show will also offer a rock climbing wall and a video game truck from Jump Around Entertainment for children and young people. A variety of vendors offer shopping opportunities for the shoppers in the family. DJ Night Train will provide music, “blowing the dust of your most fondest memories,” the entertainer promised. Raffles, giveaways and food will be available and, as the show takes place on the grounds of a church, a special blessing will be offered for all vehicles present. St. Patrick Church is located at 280 East Main St. in Smithtown. For more information or if you would like to display your car or reserve vendor space, call John Forlenza at 631-588-2696.

TBR Newspapers wins 12 press awards By Phil Corso

Times Beacon Record Newspapers’ six community papers nabbed 12 awards in the 2014 New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest and were celebrated over the weekend at the group’s annual spring conference. Elana Glowatz, who works as editor for The Port Times Record, won second place for best feature story in her division, on what the contest judge called a “nice feature piece” on a person and people about whom the public might not think or know. “These are the kinds of stories that interest and inform readers,” the judge said. David Leaman, art director for all six Times Beacon Record papers, received first place for the best special section cover in his division under The Village Times Herald flag. The judge’s remarks called his use of photography beautiful with vibrant colors that say it all. For best picture story, freelance photographer Bob Savage earned second place in his division under The Port Times Record newspaper. “The photos in this piece are wonderful,” the judge’s remarks read. “The best one was the dog with the duck coming out of the water that headlined the piece. I like pics that seem made for text inside. Great job utilizing the space.”

TBR

The Port Times Record also won second place for cartoonist Anthony Freda’s editorial cartoons and second place in overall editorials, which were referred to as concise, local and clearly written. Sports editor Desirée Keegan and freelancer Bill Landon won third place for best sports feature under Managing Editor Erika Karp’s The Village Beacon Record flag for a story written after a tragic accident took the life of a heralded community athlete. Judges called their work an “inspiring story about a team who moved past the loss of a teammate, which might destroy some programs. Instead, they use his death as fuel to carry on. Touching.” The Village Beacon Record also featured Landon’s third-place award for sports action photo. The Village Times Herald, which covers the Three Village community and is edited by Editor Phil Corso, earned third place in its division for the Past Presidents award. Judges called the publication a “nice newspaper” with lots of interesting, well-written stories. “We imagine subscribers love their paper,” the judges said. Closing out the editorial awards, editor of The Times of Northport and East Northport, Rohma Abbas, collected an honorable mention under the coverage in education category with stories from

across,” the remarks said. The same newspaper won second place in classified advertising — which judges heralded as a clean layout with exceptional use of the pyramid layout style — and third place in advertising excellence. “The pages are put together nicely,” the judge said. “The ads are very noticeable. Great use of color and images.”

PEOPLE

Sisters crochet for patients The art of crocheting is an Old World tradition that can still bring warmth and comfort to others — and even a smile. Two sisters, students at Nesaquake Middle School in St. James, have taken up the skillful craft to bring joy to patients at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center. Brianna Foster, 14, first took to crocheting because, like many young

students, she needed to fulfill community service hours for organizations like the National Junior Honor Society and her church. Brianna’s first project was to make items for a neighbor with Alzheimer’s disease to help keep him warm and comfortable. She then decided to make newborn baby hats. Now, she donates eight hats to St. Catherine’s

maternity department every two months. She has also become a mentor to her mother, Rita Foster, and her sister, Paula Foster, 12. Paula recently finished her first piece, which was a blanket, specifically sized for the needs of St. Catherine’s Palliative Care patients. It took dedication and 40 hours to make the blanket, and she intends crocheting more of them.

Kingsmen are dethroned by Harborfields Boys’ lacrosse By BiLL LAndon

The King Park boys’ lacrosse team struck first in a League III matchup on a muddy field in a wet, wintry mix, and led twice early in the game, but Harborfields found its rhythm and stomped over the Kingsmen Tuesday to win the game, 12-4. Kings Park junior midfielder Jimmy Gadaleta hit the scoreboard first to take an early lead, but Harborfields senior attack Terrence Haggerty answered back with an unassisted goal to tie the game. It was Haggerty’s first of five goals to lead his team in scoring. With less than five minutes left in the quarter, Kings Park retook the lead when senior attacks Joe Hines and Alex Marino connected on the next play. Hines dished the ball to Marino, who found the cage to retake the lead, 2-1. Harborfields midfielder Andrew Derasmo fed a cross to Haggerty, who fired between the pipes to tie the game at 2-2 to start the second period. Kings Park head coach J.M. Simpson said Harborfields runs a solid program and have a system that they’ve been successful with for years.

“We kind of knew what we were going to get ourselves into today, but we didn’t do a very good job of executing our game plan,” he said. “We knew they were going to come out and pressure us and we weren’t able to handle that pressure.” Harborfields senior attack Connor Bennardo struck next when he scored unassisted to put his team back out in front by one. Haggerty, with the hot hand, hit next to edge ahead 4-2 when Kings Park senior midfielder Ray McQuillan answered with a goal of his own off an assist by senior attack Liam Winwood to trail by one, 4-3. “Today’s game plan was to work hard and beat them to the ground balls and outrun them on the field,” Haggerty said. “In the second half, offensively we got rolling, we scored in transition and with a man up, and we were able to outrun them.” Both teams had trouble getting traction on a wet, muddy field, but Bennardo scored again to edge ahead 5-3 to end the half. “From a talent standpoint we’re about even, but I think we outworked them — we got the ground balls and our middies were running all over the place,” Bennardo said. “And that makes us look good on

attack, so I can’t thank them enough.” The second half was all Harborfields, as Haggerty dove around the circle from behind the cage and slipped one in-between the pipes to break out to a 6-3 advantage with seven minutes left in the third. Harborfields head coach Glenn Lavey chose not to brief his team about Kings Park from a recent scouting report. “We lost [our opener] by nine goals against Shoreham, so it was more about us, even though there were some things I would’ve liked to prepare them for from the scouting report, but it was more about where Harborfields needs to be,” Lavey said. “So we didn’t tell them one thing about our opponent. We just showed up and played our style.” Harborfields senior midfielder Tristan Capes-Davis added one of his own halfway through the third to surge ahead 7-3, and by that time, there was no stopping the Tornadoes. Senior midfielder Cameron LaPorta found the cage for the next two scores, to jump out to a 9-3 lead with nine minutes left to play, when Kings Park sophomore midfielder Jac Cutillo tacked on his team’s final point, to trail 9-4. Before it was over, Harborfields tacked

on three more goals with Haggerty’s fifth, Bennardo’s third for the hat trick, and junior attack Quintin McKenna added one of his own to put the game away. “We made them earn everything today and they gave us a couple of opportunities in transition, and that was the difference,” Lavey said. “Our kids did a good job at grinding and controlling the speed and the tempo of the game, which gave our middies a chance to rest.” Kings Park senior goalkeeper Harrison Bower had a busy day, and when the dust settled, he had notched 15 saves. “Harrison Bower’s a senior and a first-year starter who’s been waiting in the wings for a couple of years now,” Simpson said. “He’s been tremendous in our first three games this season, so I give a lot of credit to him.” With the win, Harborfields improves to 1-1 in League III, after suffering an 18-9 loss to Shoreham-Warding River, while Kings Park dropped to 1-2 in League III, after an 8-6 loss to Elwood-John Glenn and a 10-9 win over Westhampton. Kings Park will look to bounce back on Tuesday, April 7, when the Kingsmen host Islip. The game is currently slated with an 11 a.m. start time.

Smithtown highway super appears in court Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota directs Glenn Jorgensen to First District court on Wednesday By Phil Corso

Smithtown Highway Superintendent Glenn Jorgensen was directed to appear in court on Wednesday to face charges accusing him of tampering with public records among other charges. Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota ordered the 63-year-old Smithtown public official to room D-11 First District Court in Central Islip this week but did not disclose any details of the potential charges heading his way. But online court records show Jorgensen faces several charges, including felony charges of falsifying business records and tampering with public documents stemming back to an incident dated Nov. 18, 2014. Both Jorgensen and Anthony M. La

Pinta, a Hauppauge-based attorney representing him, did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Jorgensen, a St. James native, has authority over 142 employees with a $30 million annual operating budget to pay for snow removal and the paving, drainage and maintenance of roughly 450 miles of roads and curbs in the town. He was first elected in 2010 to serve as superintendent but has worked in the department for 37 years in various positions including foreman. He left retirement in 2009 when he was elected superintendent and was re-elected in 2013. Smithtown Supervisor Patrick Vecchio (R) did not comment on the district attorney’s charges toward the highway superintendent.

Under the act, the State Education Department will develop a new teacher evaluation system by June 30, which school districts will then have to locally negotiate and enact by Nov. 15 in order to receive their allotted aid. The system also includes a component based on students’ performance on the state’s common corealigned tests. The evaluation system was last changed in 2013. In a phone interview on Wednesday morning, Middle Country Central School District Superintendent Roberta Gerold, who is also president of the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association, said she believed the change to the system was misguided, and wished elected officials would have learned that “rushing into a system that doesn’t have details attached” — as was the case in 2013 — doesn’t work. Some Assembly members said they shared Gerold’s concerns. Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) voted against the Education, Labor and Family Assistance State budget bill, which Cuomo issued on Tuesday with a message of necessity. When asked about the reforms, Englebright immediately interjected, “they are not reforms,” he said. He said he voted against the measure

because it was unclear as to how it would impact students. “[It] doesn’t mean we can’t make improvements, but those improvements need to make sense,” he said. Englebright strayed from his fellow party members by voting against the bill, which he said was a difficult decision. “The people who sent me [to Albany] are the ones who I finally had to vote in accordance with,” he said. Assemblyman Andy Raia (R-East Northport) said in a press release the education measure “takes away local control and is downright insulting to principals, administrators and teachers.” While most North Shore Assembly officials voted down the education component, Mike Fitzpatrick (R- St. James) voted yes. In a phone interview Wednesday, Fitzpatrick said he stood by his decision. He said he believed the reforms would bring more accountability to the system, which needed to be reformed. Fitzpatrick also said the amendments take away some of the New York State United Teachers union’s power. The union referred to the changes as a disgrace and the evaluation system as a sham. “Good teachers, and they know who they are, they don’t have anything to worry about,” Fitzpatrick said. Rohma Abbas contributed reporting.

OPINION ediToriAL

Opportunism at its finest As a community newspaper, we value reader feedback and welcome any and all letters to the editor on the stories that compel our neighbors. But we received one letter in particular this past week that we felt warranted a larger editorial response. Last week, we ran a story on Suffolk County Legislator Kara hahn (d-Setauket) spearheading a new law that aims to more aggressively address domestic violence by empowering victims —connecting them with agencies and offering up a self-assessment questionnaire — and analyzing offenders. The bill was approved without a single “nay” in the Legislature, showing the county’s commitment to the issue. on Monday, we opened up an anonymous letter addressed to the publisher of this newspaper, responding to our domestic violence reporting. “Women can be opportunists,” the letter started. “if a man just pushes his girlfriend or paramour or even his wife, the next thing you know, she comes to court with a brace on her neck and bandages and a story that complains how she was pushed down a flight of stairs and strangled.” our initial reaction to this argument was scoffs and rolling eyes. (And why is this man pushing his partner to begin with?) While some people may have valid concerns over the consequences of tighter domestic violence laws, our anonymous reader’s remarks underscored the very same symptomatic problem, which affects both women and men, that hahn’s legislation is looking to end in Suffolk County. “No wonder guys go off the deep end and murder their so-called girlfriends. if i could not see my children, i would be mad as well. enough to murder — possibly,” the secret letter writer said about custody battles. “Women are so thick-headed, unreasonable and vindictive, especially where money is concerned, that the greed of a woman scorned cannot be fathomed and we, the dads, husbands, boyfriends, are left out in the cold with no recourse.” The writer asked that this newspaper “do something about these issues.” That is why we chose to dedicate this week’s editorial to his letter — to do something when we are confronted with a disgusting diatribe that condones violence against a group of people. We hope the county law, still in its infancy, helps shift the train of thought of those like this reader. Thank you for the letter.

The social media app Yik Yak remains a hot-button issue for parents living across the North Shore.

Connections

To The ediTor: Yik Yak may sound like a candy but it’s not. it’s a pernicious new social media app that has transformed college campuses into middle school cafeterias populated by mean boys and girls using demeaning, homophobic, racist and sexually explicit language to spout their anonymous vitriol. Why such meanness? When did free expression become a weapon? The ancient Greeks believed that the purpose of education was to inculcate society’s ideals in its citizens. in college, i was given a historical and global perspective on the world that made me a more thoughtful and altruistic person. As a high school english teacher, i used literature to help

my students to explore their own lives. We discussed man’s humanity and connected characters and themes to current events as well as to the past. isn’t this the intrinsic value of our classic books? To help students understand more about themselves and the world in which they live. To make them better citizens. have we lost that connection? Can we trace the roots of this to our own schools, or to the fierce competition and stressful test taking that we expose our young adults to every day? When did our teachers, who should be helpful guides, and our fellow students, who should share the journey, become our antagonists? When i was a teenager, a tutor told me that a fellow student in her physics class refused to help her understand a problem

because it would “screw up the curve.” i was appalled. i would love to assign that bad boy to a study group with the understanding that his grade would ref lect the average of the group, not the individual. i fear that the competitive atmosphere of our school systems is poisonous — not creating a better education but rather an atmosphere of nastiness, aggression and bullying. For our students, has the test score become who they are? empathy, respect and cooperation — these are the qualities we should instill in our students. And, yes, taking responsibility for one’s words and actions, not hiding behind the white sheet or anonymous strokes of our keyboards. Kerri Glynn Setauket

A call to create a new holiday

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

I

have a modest proposal: How about a new holiday, either in each school or in each town, every year? I’m not talking about taking any more time off from school or interrupting the flow of work, especially in a year when snow, ice and recordbreaking blizzards that never happened upset our busy schedules. I’d like to suggest, rather, that we celebrate, recognize or

mark the occasion for a different moment every year. We could create such a holiday some day in June, when classes are winding down and we’re just about to kick off the start of the summer. Every year, Americans stop to recognize 9/11 in September. It’s a somber occasion and a chance to reflect on who we lost and what might have been. It’s also an opportunity to recognize the unimaginable bravery of those who did whatever they could to save strangers, friends and fellow New Yorkers and Americans. Perhaps, one year, we might also recognize all the medical miracles that have made lives possible. I’ll never forget the day a colleague of mine at Bloomberg picked up the phone and his face went white. Seemingly unable to verbalize the terror in his mind, he grabbed his jacket and sprinted out of the room. His sudden and panicked motion created considerable concern from his colleagues. As he told our editor the next

morning in a barely audible voicemail, his wife went into premature labor and, less than an hour later, delivered a baby girl who weighed close to 1 pound. For weeks, whenever he came to work, he seemed to look past us, searching for any kind of help, spiritual or otherwise, for his daughter’s fragile life. After several months, she grew enough to improve her prospects for survival. We knew things were getting better because we heard the welcome return of laughter from our friend. We also saw him exhale for the first time in months, loosening and relaxing the taut muscles in his chest. Perhaps, one school might find the names of the doctors and scientists who improved the treatment and care for premature babies who had considerably poorer prognoses 50 or 100 years earlier. We might also pause to recognize those working in fertility clinics or in reproductive research, who have made it possible

for couples having trouble conceiving to celebrate the marvel of their child. Maybe we could celebrate the considerable achievements of scientists who have helped prevent an HIV diagnosis from becoming a death sentence. When Magic Johnson revealed that he was HIV positive, many of us probably never imagined we’d see him cheering for his Michigan State basketball team to make it to the Final Four in 2015. It is through remarkable medical breakthroughs, incredible dedication and a desire to defeat diseases like cancer and AIDS that we can extend the quantity and quality of our lives and the lives of our friends and family. Some of these achievements and lifesaving discoveries wouldn’t have been possible without the insights and inspiration of scientists, researchers and doctors on Long Island. Perhaps we can take a mo-

Perhaps we could use a day to recognize those who truly fight for us.

ment to appreciate and acknowledge the guiding hand and valuable contributions religious leaders make to us. Bringing us together and encouraging us through our battles elevates us when we’re down. We see headlines about people who take lives and make poor decisions. Perhaps, we could use a day to recognize those who, to borrow a phrase from just about every political ad, truly “fight for us.” And maybe, by acknowledging these achievements, we inspire the next generation.

A Happy Easter memory from New Zealand

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

A

lmost 20 years ago this Easter, I left the comforts of home to go on a tour 10,000 miles away. The adventure was originally billed as a trip to Australia and New Zealand, but the tour company representative called to tell me about a month in advance that New Zealand was going to be eliminated from the itinerary to shorten the trip — and we would just visit Australia. I was terrifically disappointed and made

my feelings known. After all, how often did I plan to be in the neighborhood? As long as I was making that long flight, I was intent on touring both countries. Since I knew the tour owner personally, I carried on about my disappointment long and hard. Finally he called with a proposal. While the official visit was now only to Australia, there was a small group of six people, whom he knew well, who were indeed going on their own tour of New Zealand. One of their group had been stationed there during World War II and had put together a pre-tour visit. At my friend’s suggestion, they were now prepared to include me. Did I want to go with them? “Would I be like a seventh wheel,” I asked. “No,” he assured me, “they would really like you to join them.” “Did they all know each other beforehand,” I worried. “Yes, the three couples were quite good friends,” he explained, “and lots of fun.” I worried more. “Here, take their phone numbers and call them —

you can decide for yourself,” he said as he ended the call, glad to have finally solved the problem. I did call one of them, a hasty call because she was running between two appointments, but she did encourage me to come. They were leaving from three different corners of the United States: Seattle, Los Angeles and Sarasota. So I agreed to meet them on the South Island in Christchurch, the second largest city of New Zealand, in a specific hotel lobby on Easter Sunday at 7 a.m. I can only marvel today at my daring. The drama intensified. Before I got on the plane to begin my trip, I came down with a nasty cold. By the time I got to Auckland, New Zealand’s gateway city on the North Island at 6 a.m. I had a temperature of 102 degrees and felt rotten. Fortunately I had included a Z-Pak antibiotic in my luggage, and I swallowed down the first dose on the bus to the motel. That bus ride went on forever, seeming to stop at every corner. When I finally arrived at the motel and got

into bed, one thought occurred to me: Everyone in the world who cared about me enough to take care of me was on the other side of the world. With that, I drifted off to sleep. When I awoke in the afternoon and wandered outside, looking for a place to eat, I was surprised to find all stores tightly closed and the streets almost empty Finally catching up to a pedestrian, I asked why. “Everything is closed on Good Friday!” he exclaimed, looking at me as if I had just dropped down from Mars. Which indeed is how I felt. “Only the tourist shops and the movies are open today,” he added, sensing that I needed further help. I took a bus to the center of the city and chatted up the bored clerks in all the tourist shops I could find. Auckland, a clean and beautiful city on the water, felt the size of Boston. Then, when the tourist places closed, I found the city’s equivalent of Times Square and went to see “The English Patient.” There weren’t many people in the cin-

But it was a gorgeously filmed movie, even if I didn’t understand the plot entirely, which I attributed to my illness. The next day I flew to Christchurch, a city that could have been located in rural England, and at the appointed hour on Easter morning I met my six traveling companions, who looked a little nervous too. Fortunately we hit it off, had a fabulous trip through the South Island, from glaciers to beaches, saw about 60 million sheep and have been friends ever since. It was a Happy Easter memory and I wish you one this year too.
