Brookhaven highway gets extra state funds By Julianne CuBa

Following another devastating winter on Long Island, Brookhaven Town is receiving a little boost from the New York State Department of Transportation’s Extreme Winter Recovery fund for the year 2015-16, Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) has announced. The Highway Department will receive more than $501,000, while last year it received more than $400,000 in recovery funds in order to improve Brookhaven’s infrastructure. Prior to 2014, the town had not received any additional funding recovery funds for road damage. “I want to thank the Long Island delegation for working with me on securing this desperately-needed funding for Brookhaven,” Losquadro said in a press release. “The past two winters have been historically harsh and wreaked havoc on town roadways. The more funding we receive, the more roads we can pave.” In a phone interview, Losquadro said he is continuing to look for other sources of revenue from all levels of government in order to offset the cost to local taxpayers, whether in grants or funding from the federal government. “There’s easily five times the amount of work that needs to be done that I have money for ... maybe even six or seven times,” he said.

Within the next week — hopefully by April 15 — Losquadro said he hopes the resurfacing of the roads will start, weather permitting. Like last year, the work will likely continue right up until November, he said. For the past two years, Losquadro said the town has been able to repair about 60 miles of roadway each year. “I’m hoping to be able to match that, if not surpass that, this year,” he said. “If we’re able to get a little extra money from New York State like we did last year, every dollar we get is another roadway I can do.” Losquadro said “it’s not dollar to dollar,” and if he can get assistance in paying for other projects that the Highway Department would have otherwise had to fund, then he could repurpose that money for roadway paving. He referenced the traffic safety grant, which had been awarded for North Country Road in Miller Place, as an example of money that will now be free to allocate for repaving elsewhere in the town. “That [grant] money will allow us to redo that section of roadway, a lot of the work we would have had to do there will now be covered by that grant,” he said. “That’s an award that’s already been awarded. We are seeking grants on all levels. We are looking for sources from revenue and assistance from every-

where we can.” Losquadro said that advocating for additional funds for the resurfacing of roads is generally not normal, but there is just not enough money in the budget. “While we were certainly not happy to

see another severe winter, I am happy that we’re able to provide additional funding. State representatives listened to myself and other highway superintendents and were able to secure additional funding again this year,” he said.

Gift of life celebrated at Stony Brook donor event By Erin DuEñas

Arleen Buckley ticked off the places she and husband Tom had traveled to before he fell ill. The Port Jefferson couple had visited Italy, Ireland and even China, but a planned trip to Belgium last year had to be canceled after Tom’s battle with polycystic kidney disease — a hereditary condition where cysts develop on the kidneys, leading to the organ’s failure — kept him from traveling. “He was just too sick,” his wife said. “We were lucky we could get him to the corner.” Tom Buckley spent months undergoing dialysis three days a week, but the treatments left him weak. “He wasn’t having a good reaction to the dialysis,” Arleen Buckley said. “I told him we can’t live life like this. It was a tough time.” Arleen Buckley said she couldn’t bear seeing her husband of 43 years so ill. She suggested giving him one of her kidneys to resolve his health issue but he refused. “He felt guilty. He didn’t want me putting my life at risk,” she said. “I told him I wanted to live a nice long life — but with him.” It took months but she eventually convinced her husband to take her kidney, and in September of last year, the couple underwent the surgeries. Arleen Buckley was up and about just three days later, and while her husband’s recovery took much longer — about six months — he said he feels great. They’re even planning a trip to Scandinavia. “I couldn’t go anywhere, not even to the

movies,” Tom Buckley said. “Now that I’m better I can do whatever I want.” On Thursday, April 2, the couple attended the Living Donor Award Ceremony at Stony Brook University Hospital, which honored Arleen Buckley and about 200 other kidney donors. Sponsored by the hospital’s Department of Transplant, kidney recipients presented their living donors with a state medal of honor for the second chance at life. The ceremony’s keynote speaker was Chris Melz of Huntington Station, who donated a kidney in 2009 to his childhood friend Will Burton, who suffered from end-stage renal failure. The surgeries were successful, and Melz now works with the National Kidney Foundation raising awareness for living donors. “I want to spark the drive for people to do good,” he said. “Giving is a beautiful thing.” Arleen Buckley said she was happy to give a kidney to her husband, whom she has known for 50 years. “I told him, ‘When I was 14 years old, I gave you my heart. At 64, I gave you my kidney,’” the loving wife said. Dr. Wayne Waltzer, director of kidney transplantation services and chair of the Department of Urology at Stony Brook University School of Medicine, called kidney transplants a “new lease on life” for patients who are on dialysis. “Transplants restore them,” Waltzer said. “They get back the same sense of well-being

they had before they got sick.” According to the National Kidney Foundation, 118,000 Americans are on a waiting list for an organ — 96,000 of those wait for a kidney. Roughly 13 people die daily waiting for the organ, the group said. Stephen Knapik, Stony Brook University’s living donor coordinator, said that every 10 minutes someone in need of a kidney is added to that list. He called it an honor to work with donors who keep the list from growing. “I’ve never been in a room with so many superheroes in my life,” Knapik said. “The greatest gift you can give isn’t a boat or a car, it’s the gift of life.” Waltzer said that donating a kidney involves meeting certain criteria including compatible blood groups and matching body tissues between donor and recipient,

as well as ensuring that the recipient has no antibodies that will work against the transplanted organ. He said that while the surgery is sophisticated, he called the science and medicine an incredible achievement. “The immunosuppressive therapy is so good and the medication so effective that you can override any mismatches,” he said. This allows for donors to give to loved ones that are not related by blood. With the most active renal transplant program on Long Island, Stony Brook has done 1,500 transplants since 1981. Waltzer said that donors are doing an “amazing service,” not just to their recipient but also to one of the thousands of people who are on the waiting list for a kidney. “There is a shortage of organs,” he said. “By donating, you are giving a chance to someone else on that waiting list.”

PEOPLE Mock Trial Team Advances

Three Village school district’s Mock Trial Team — comprised of students from Ward Melville High School and P.J. Gelinas Junior High School – are experiencing a record-setting season this year. In just its second year of competition, the students advanced to the Suffolk County quarterfinals after defeating East End-rival Mattituck during the first round of county playoffs. In addition to the organized competitions, the team also hosted its second home trial competition against Hampton Bays at Jefferson’s Ferry in South Setauket. This event was held as a service

to the residents of Jefferson’s Ferry and organized with Alan Costell, coordinator of the Mock Trial Program for the Suffolk County Bar Association. Residents were briefed on the details of the trial prior to the competition in order to heighten interest for the event. Ultimately, the Three Village team prevailed as the plaintiff, who was suing the defendant for an alleged act of conversion (theft) of funds raised by a local charity. The students have learned legal terms, elocution, and how to craft arguments and think critically in preparation for the competition season.

OPINION

Transit-oriented development is an L.I. tradition Your turn

BY Dave Kapell

One of the strategies being widely discussed as a means of revitalizing the Long Island economy is the creation of transit-oriented developments, especially in downtowns served by the Long Island Rail Road. These developments are much needed and would serve multiple purposes — increasing housing options, enhancing downtown areas and providing places to live and work with easy access to and from New York City. But they are not new to Long Island. Greenport on the North Fork was a transit-oriented development in the mid-19th century and thus underscores the potential that this longstanding tradition still offers Long Island, if we can focus on mobility. Ironically, when the LIRR’s track to Greenport was laid in 1844, it was a train pulls into the Stony Brook long Island Rail Road Station. not to provide transit access to New York City but to connect New York with Boston, because the technology makes it all the more important that Island — more available.

dex, building the Fast Track would relieve the problem and generate 14,000 new jobs, $5.6 billion in additional gross regional product, and $3 billion in additional personal income by 2035, 10 years after its completion. The Long Island Rail Road remains an extraordinary resource, but it needs to be thought of again as a two-way street. We also need to think beyond the auto-dependent suburban model to a future where young people, who are the workforce of that future, have the option to live on Long Island or in the city and have easy transit access to jobs in either place. Greenport knows the value of transit-oriented development arguably as well as any community on Long Island, because ferry, bus and rail facilities continue to power its reputation as a walkable village where people can live, shop, be entertained and get to work without driving. If Long Island now seizes on this time-honored track to success, the concept may well become fundamental to the revitalization of the region’s economy as well. Dave Kapell, a resident of Greenport, served as mayor from 1994 to 2007. He is now a consultant to the Rauch Foundation, which publishes the Long Island Index.

NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this fore-

closure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. The following notice is intended only for those defendants who are owners of the premises sought to be foreclosed or who are liable upon the debt for which the mortgage stands as security. YOU ARE HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE THAT WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT, AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. The amount of the Debt: $152,667.63 consisting of principal balance of $117,493.66 plus interest of $19,553.90, escrow/ impound shortages or credits of $13,286.56; interest on escrow $379.21; late charges of $16.74; Broker’s Price Opinion, inspection and miscellaneous charges of $189.00; surrogate fee $21.73 attorney fee $1,200.00 and title search $526.83.

Hence, if you pay the amount shown above, an adjustment may be necessary after we receive the check, in which event we will inform you. The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed: CITIMORTGAGE, INC. Unless you dispute the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, within thirty (30) days after receipt hereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates P.C. If you notify Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates P.C. in writing within thirty (30) days after your receipt hereof that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, we will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of any judgment against you representing the debt and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to you by Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates P.C. Upon your written request within 30 days after receipt of this notice, Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates P.C. will provide you with the name and address of the original creditor if different from the current creditor. Note: Your time to respond to the summons and complaint differs from your time to dispute the validity of the debt or to request the name and address of the original creditor. Although you have as few as 20 days to respond to the summons and complaint, depending on the manner of service, you still have 30 days from receipt of this summons to dispute the validity of the debt and to request the name and address of the original creditor. TO THE DEFENDANTS: The Plaintiff makes no personal claim against you in this action. TO THE DEFENDANTS: If you have obtained an order of discharge from the Bankruptcy court, which includes this debt, and you have not reaffirmed your liability for this debt, this law suit is not alleging that you have any personal liability for this debt and does not seek a money judgment against you.

Even if a discharge has been obtained, this lawsuit to foreclose the mortgage will continue and we will seek a judgment authorizing the sale of the mortgaged premises.

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 2015-16 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. 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. 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 core-aligned 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 (D-

Setauket) 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 sys-

assemblyman Steve Englebright voted against the education changes, which Middle Country Superintendent roberta Gerold described as misguided.

tem, 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.

Father is not giving up Needs help funding daughter’s care after near drowning By Elana Glowatz

A smile, a swallow or a step mean a lot to Rob Marianetti. It was not long ago that his daughter was unresponsive, following a bathtime incident, and doctors told him there was no hope she would get better. But Marianetti isn’t giving up on Kayla, and coming up on her third birthday she can make some sounds and move her arms and legs. “I’ve been on a mission to get my daughter back,” he said. When she was 17 months old, while Marianetti was at work — for Setauketbased Hurricane Tree Experts — Kayla was having a bath in her Port Jefferson Station home and was left unattended for eight minutes, the father said. She was found floating and unresponsive. Marianetti rushed to the hospital to see Kayla while doctors were working on her. He said he was trying to get into the room with her and was banging on a door to the point where a police officer had to intervene. He learned a few weeks later, he said, that his daughter came back to life while he was banging. “She was blue and she was done. She was done — and she came back.” Kayla spent time at St. Charles Hospital and Stony Brook University Hospital, and Marianetti and his wife — who is no longer “in the picture,” he said — got the

little girl started on different therapies right away, so she would not deteriorate. The whole time Kayla was in the hospital, Marianetti never left her side, the father’s aunt, Susan Calvi, said: “Slept there every day.” Out of all the nation’s experts Marianetti saw, he said, just one, neurologist Dr. Chris Sinclair at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital, encouraged him to fight. Sinclair said he’s seen a similar case of brain injury before, in which a child was perhaps even worse off than Kayla in the beginning but after a couple of years was walking and talking. “So I’ve seen it before but I also know how flexible, in a sense, the brain of a young child is.” Sinclair explained that there are connections between brain cells that allow the cells to communicate with one another, and in Kayla those have become damaged. But those connections can be regrown in a developing brain. “When someone’s so young, [the future] is a lot brighter than it would be for someone who is an adult because the brain is still developing,” Sinclair said. “I think the sky’s the limit for her.” Kayla has multiple therapy appointments each day, whether it’s hyperbaric therapy, which involves putting her in an oxygen-rich environment; physical therapy, to move her toward sitting up, standing and walking; vision therapy, as

neurological issues have made her legally blind, even though her eyes themselves are fine; or speech therapy, which is used both to teach her to communicate and to eat on her own. “By me doing all this stuff, it’s friggin’ working, man,” Marianetti said. Kayla has stood up, laughed, swallowed a small amount of pudding and taken a few steps. “Now remember, she couldn’t move a year ago. … I have hope.” One big hurdle for Marianetti, however, is money. He’s gone through his savings, he said, and Kayla’s therapy appointments cost $8,000 a month. Then

there’s other medical costs, as well as living expenses like food, diapers and electricity. The treatments are expensive, the dad said, but “how can I not continue what I’m doing when she’s making progress?” He set up a fundraising page, at www. gofundme.com/n19qgc, to ask for help. As of Wednesday morning, the fund had reached $18,000. His goal is to have Kayla at least be able to walk, talk, eat and see on her own. “I’m not leaving her like this,” Marianetti said. “I’m going until either she gets better or I die.”

Poquott pioneer inducted into computer museum

Photo from Stony Brook University

Evelyn Berezin is honored this month. By BarBara Donlon

A mere accident altered the life of Evelyn Berezin, and now, at almost 90 years old, she is being honored as one of the pioneers in the computer industry. After 75 years since building her first computer, Berezin — a Poquott resident — is being honored and inducted into the Computer History Museum on April 25 in Mountain View, Calif., because of her impact on the ever-growing technology industry. “Most people don’t know what a wom-

an of great accomplishment she is,” said longtime friend Kathleen Mullinix, who will be traveling to the event with the woman she described as “a brilliant person of substance.” Berezin said the best part about all of her success since logging into the computer field decades ago is the fact that she had no idea her life would turn out the way it did. She said she initially thought she would take the physics route at a young age, but it all changed for the best. “I got into it by accident,” Berezin said. “It was so early in the game, I didn’t know what it was.” But even though her life didn’t turn out exactly how she planned it, she said she has not looked back once since beginning her journey. Berezin was born in the Bronx on April 12, 1925. At 15, she graduated high school and started at Hunter College, where she found an interest in physics, which was not an area of study at her all-girls school. The day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, her high school physics teacher knocked on her door and offered her a research job in the field she wanted. “Every boy in the country was given a number to be drafted,” Berezin recalled on how she was able to get the job. “I happened to be there at the right time.” At age of 16, Berezin lied about her age to get the job. She said her height helped

her pass for 18, so she began working in the lab while attending college at night. She eventually studied math at Brooklyn Polytech, physics and chemistry at NYU and English at Hunter. Four years later, she received a scholarship from NYU and accomplished her dream and received her degree in physics. “It’s what I really wanted,” Berezin said. After graduation, she received an Atomic Energy Commission fellowship while still working toward her Ph.D. Her dream shifted when she met her husband in 1951. Although the two did not have a steady salary, they decided to marry. So the search for a job began. “I was told [there was] no way I would get a physics job in 1951 because of the Korean War,” Berezin said. She then met someone who would forever change her life. A recruiter told her there were very few physics jobs in the government. So she decided to ask about computers, even though the industry was in its infancy. “I had no idea why I asked,” Berezin said. “I never even heard of a computer.” She landed her first job working for Electronic Computer Corporation for $4,500 a year — a huge increase from her previous $1,600 salary. Before the company went bankrupt in 1957, she designed three or four different computers that were used by various

companies. She then moved on to a job at Teleregister making computers that would distribute stock market information across the country. After traveling all the way to Connecticut for her job, Berezin decided to switch jobs but stay in the computer business. She took a job with Digitronics and began designing computers with great complexity and speed. After all her hard work, she still felt she wasn’t getting what she wanted. “In 1969 I decided I would never get to be vice president because I was a woman,” Berezin said. “I decided to start my own company.” It was then that Berezin’s company Redactron was born. From 1969 to 1975 she worked hard to build the company up with roughly 500 employees. During the 1970s, the economy took a dip, when she said money was not coming in and interest rates were high. She decided to sell the company to the Burroughs Corporation for roughly $25 million. She continued to work at Burroughs as part of the sale. “At that time you didn’t work on the computer, you worked in them,” Berezin recalled of the large machines on which she worked. After leaving Burroughs, Berezin spent the rest of her time getting involved in startup companies and moved to Long Island.

EDITORIAL Put down the pitchforks

opting students out of state standardized tests has become a hot topic, and it’s a decision that should rest in the hands of parents, not school leaders. recently, Comsewogue School district officials had threatened to consider not administering the tests altogether if Gov. Andrew Cuomo (d) and the state education department did not acquiesce on a list of demands, one of which was to stop weighing student test scores so heavily in teacher and administrator evaluations. But the district clammed up on the measure after its attorney intervened. in addition, the NYSUT union, which represents teachers across the state, has called for a mass opt-out. State law comes down hard on actions like this: Any school-board members or other officials like superintendents who willfully violate state education regulations — such as by refusing to administer a required assessment — risk being removed from office by the education commissioner, and state aid could be withheld from the district. At the heart of the matter is a battle over local control of our school districts. While local officials should be consulted when it comes to shaping state education regulations and standards, there must be some degree of state standardization in education to ensure that our programs sufficiently educate kids. it’s wrong for administrators and school officials to politicize a high-emotion situation — the opt-out movement — in a way that could be detrimental to students. in a school-sponsored, massive opt-out, the ones who face the greatest risk are the students — officials may put their jobs at stake, but the kids’ entire futures could hang in the balance if the state pulls education aid from a district that heavily relies upon it, or if otherwise competent school board members and administrators are kicked out of office. Let us also pause to think about how adult behavior affects our kids. This paper has previously editorialized about how the commotion over the Common Core and state testing has negatively affected children — students see and hear their parents’ and teachers’ reactions, and many mimic that fear and anxiety when they otherwise would not have had such emotional reactions to tests and classes. At some point, we have to ask ourselves if this is the kind of behavior we want to teach our kids. Calling for change is one thing, but screaming for it is another. Let’s not play politics. Above all, let’s keep cool.

One reader says the meat, egg and dairy industries are not being honest with their products.

April fools

To The ediTor: With April Fools’ day on the mind, it appears that the meat, egg and dairy industries have been playing us for fools all year-round. Their more remarkable hoaxes include “California’s happy cows,” “Free-range chickens” and “humane slaughter.” All lies. Less fun is the stuff they never talk about. Like the hundreds of millions of chickens crammed seven into a cage designed for

Smart move To The ediTor: This letter is in response to the letter, “Public education is important,” dated March 26, 2015. i applaud the recent writers who decided to donate their tax savings, stemming from the tax cap, to the Three Village School district. The writers backed up their beliefs with action. While that’s not always a good thing, it certainly is, given the context. They went on to criticize the tax cap based upon one-sided assertions. Should they have more to donate, perhaps they would consider a donation to the legion of residents crushed by outrageous taxes, who remain stuck in unsellable homes, many of which have lost 40 or more percent of their value.

one, unable to move or spread their wings. or their hundreds of millions of male counterparts ground up live at birth and fed to other chickens or just dumped into plastic garbage bags to suffocate slowly. or the miserable breeding sows producing millions of piglets per year while trapped in tiny steel cages. All in the spirit of year-round April Fools’ day, the meat industry has even developed a whole dictionary of fun terms to fool unwary consumers. Those filthy cesspools of ani-

mal waste that poison downwind neighbors with putrid odors? They call them “lagoons.” And to make sure that kids don’t confuse the pig f lesh on their plates with “Babe” or “Wilbur,” they call it “pork.” Ah, those meat industry folks are such kidders. But they won’t be fooling American consumers much longer. Anyway, happy April Fools’ day, everyone!

once prospective buyers get a whiff of Three Village taxes, they usually look elsewhere — schools or no schools. Should that not be a good enough cause, perhaps the writers might view a senior citizen, trying to live on a fixed income, as a more worthy recipient — if you can find one. Most are forced to leave a community they helped build, like it or not. Few can pay taxes amounting to 30 or more percent of their total annual Social Security benefit, which took a lifetime to earn. Unless, of course, they have a pension, with guaranteed annual increases, to supplement that Social Security check. No reasonable person would assume an anti-education posture, be it public, private or charter. education is among the linchpins

of any society. however, stating that educational costs are out of control is nothing more than stating the obvious. Similarly, a blind faith belief that more and more money will buy more and more quality education is ludicrous. The “blank check” mentality has led to unsustainable metrics, by any measure. Please, show me the economics to support the contention that ever-escalating costs can be supported in a backdrop of limited income and declining property values — including abandoned homes. This dynamic is nothing less than a recipe for implosion. The governor’s attempt to control costs may not be perfect, but it is critical, and it’s long overdue.

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

Breaking ourselves down to build back up

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

very defeat, rejection, or failure can be like a drop of ice water on the back of our necks. We often can’t brush those droplets away and they seep into us, weighing us down, causing our feet to shuffle and shoulders to slump. The self-esteem bashing moments in a week, month, or year can build up, turning us into a balled-up, wet rag in the corner

of a dark room. Certainly, the sunlight and warmth of spring can dry some of that out, as the chirping of newly hatched birds, the sight of children chasing after a ball on a playground and the scent of fresh flowers can evaporate the dreaded droplets. And yet, that’s often not enough. We sometimes need more to turn ourselves into ice-water-resistant creatures who can tackle any assignment, avoid obstacles, or remain undeterred in the face of significant opposition. Where do we find this relief? Some get it from exercise, where they perspire out those metaphorical drops of ice water. As they push themselves along the pavement or across glistening fields, they generate momentum, release endorphins, and become like the Little Engine That Could, remembering that a healthy dose of believing in themselves works. Others get it from talking on

the phone, writing in a diary or a blog, escaping to the movies, diving into books, or sharing a laugh with friends they’ve known for years. What we sometimes need in our lives is a catharsis. You remember that Greek word for that moment when someone releases strong emotions, obtaining relief at the same time? We learned about this some time when we were in middle or high school. Recently, my middle school daughter received an assignment that seemed like a confusing and challenging juggling act. She finished George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” Her language arts teacher asked his students to find a song in which they saw an overlap with a theme from the book. They also had to relate that theme to their lives. When my daughter came home from her first day of these presentations, she described in detail, how two of the four presenters broke down in tears as they shared their stories. In

other classes, several students, including one of the untouchable “popular kids,” cried in front of his class as well. One of the students described his frustration with his frequent movement from one school to another as his parents’ jobs required starting over again every year or so. He looked out at the classroom, his teary eyes revealing his deep discomfort, and said he was sure no one in the room would be his friend for longer than the short time he’d be in town. He was resigned to the fact that he’d be a sad ghost someone might remember at graduation. Another student shared the challenge of dealing with an impossible relative. This person pushed away any connection to a family she used to have, slamming the door, literally and physically, on anyone from her past who dared approach her. The disillusionment her father felt was magnified in her. As my daughter thought of

What we sometimes need in our lives is a catharsis.

her assignment, her eyes welled up as well when she thought of the moment when something promising turned tragic. She had a spectacularly close connection with a young, vibrant first grade teacher whose life ended all too soon after a cancer diagnosis. Even as my daughter described her feelings, I could see the small ice droplets that landed so hard on the back of her neck in elementary school, as they found an exit through her eyes. She will always remember that loss, but the catharsis more than five years later provided some relief.

Lost art – and memories – reclaimed

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

“Woman in Gold” is based on a true story. It is also eerily similar to another true story to which I am privy. The movie, currently playing in limited release and shortly to move into local theaters, is about an octogenarian Jewish woman who struggles to reclaim paintings looted from her family by the Nazis a halfcentury earlier. Dame Helen Mirren plays Maria Altmann, an Austrian

who barely escaped with her new husband before the jaws of Nazi death clamped down on Jews and dissidents following Austria’s annexation by Germany in 1938. Ultimately, they lived out their lives in Los Angeles, but much of their extended family stayed and perished in the Holocaust. Their possessions were confiscated, including five paintings by Gustav Klimt. Those paintings, including “Portrait of Adele BlochBauer,” became Austrian icons; but for Maria Altmann, the portrait was simply of her Aunt Adele. The loss of those paintings came to symbolize the terrible loss of her immediate family, her home and her world. As the years went by, claims of looted property began to surface. In the 1990s, Maria Altmann tried to reclaim her family’s art through the early channels for such action in Austria. She encouraged the son of a friend, a young and struggling lawyer, to represent her. He is the grandson of one of Austria’s

most famous musicians, Arnold Schoenberg. He is also an American with little emotional connection to his grandfather’s country, nor Altmann’s cause, but he was initially attracted to the fight for the potential monetary windfall. Their battles with the Austrian government continued for a decade, during which they were aided by an Austrian journalist. In a similar story, my friend Alice was also born in Austria and lived with her parents and brother in Vienna until the Nazi annexation. Her father was a lawyer, and when warned by one of his clients that he was on the round-up list for the next morning, he managed to escape with his immediate family to the west. They, too, eventually arrived in America, having left all their possessions behind in their hasty flight. One of their pieces of art was an original drawing by Picasso. Alice and her brother, now the rightful heirs, determined to enter claim for their stolen art, especially the most

valuable piece by Picasso. Their claim dragged on through the courts for the better part of a decade, roughly at the same time as that of Maria Altmann although much less in the news. Remarkably, they too were joined in their struggle by an Austrian journalist, whose efforts ultimately helped make the claim successful. Like Altmann and E. Randol Schoenberg, Alice and her brother, against their will, returned to Vienna for hearings. It was an emotional journey back to the streets of their childhood for them. The film does justice to Altmann’s terrible memories with repeated cuts back in time to the growing atrocities of the late 1930s. There is another interesting parallel when the claims succeeded. In the movie, the primary Austrian antagonist asks for some sort of shared ownership from Maria Altmann. His suggestion is curtly dismissed by Mirren.

by an Austrian official, she was told sarcastically that she’d “probably just sell it for the money!” to which she replied, “And that is now none of your business.” She did not sell it, but rather gave it a position of honor in her Washington Heights apartment. It was, for her, the tiniest satisfaction from a bitterly lost world. Maria Altmann did sell the painting of Adele Bloch-Bauer to Ronald Lauder, Estée Lauder-heir and owner of the Neue Gallery of Austrian Art on 86th St. and Fifth Ave. in New York. She used the money to help Schoenberg establish his law practice and to help both family members and charities close to her heart.

Patriots are a hit, top Longwood in second game of series BaseBall

Ward Melville . . . . . . 12 Longwood . . . . . . . . . 2 By Bill landon

Having beaten Longwood the day before by just one run, the Ward Melville baseball team invaded the Lions’ territory Tuesday and let its pitching and batting do the talking to prove the Patriots’ worth. When the dust settled, the Patriots handed Longwood a 12-2 loss in the second matchup of a three-game series. Ward Melville sophomore pitcher Ben Brown led the way with an impressive per-

formance on the mound to earn the win in his first varsity start. Longwood struggled with the entire Patriots pitching staff, managing just six hits. The Lions were also plagued by four errors over seven innings. Ward Melville blew the game open in the second inning, scoring six runs on an RBI double by Dominic Lamonica, a two-run double by Troy Davern, and Nick Rizzi drove in a run and with the help of two Longwood errors to give the Patriots a 6-0 lead. “Today our hitters did a good job in their approach; we got a lot of clutch hits,” Ward Melville head coach Lou Petrucci said. “Dominic Lamonica had a big double in the second inning; Jeff Towle, Troy Davern and the middle-of-

the-lineup guys did a good job.” The Lions tried to claw their way back and scored two runs in the bottom of the third. Towle took control of the fourth inning, blasting a shot to deep center field, giving both Nick Vitale and Joe Flynn the opportunity to come home for an 8-2 advantage. “Today, as a team, we had great bats all around putting the ball in play, making them work, putting pressure on their defense and that helped us out today,” Towle said. “[Longwood is] a solid team, but the ball didn’t roll their way. That could’ve happened to us, but we hit the ball hard.” Flynn was also excited to see the team putting the ball in play. “Today we came out swinging with the right mind-set; we had to put the ball in play and do whatever we have to do to win,” he said. “We’re not a strong hitting team and we’ve relied on pitching in the past, and that’s what we’re going to do this year, but today we came out with the bats and did a great job.” The Patriots crossed the plate once more in the inning, to surge ahead 9-2. Petrucci said he was pleased with his entire lineup. “The top of the order guys — Joe Flynn got on base; Nick Vitale had a great day today — those guys got on base and did a good job for us,” he said. “The big hitters drove them in with clutch hits and we had more base runners and took advantage of that opportunity.” The Patriots found the scoreboard

once in the top of the sixth and twice in the seventh to put the game away. Brown said his team misjudged Longwood in the first game of the series. “I think we came out with a lot of intensity,” he said. “We took this team a little lightly yesterday. We really played hard, we had really good at bats, so that was the difference today.” With the win, Ward Melville improved to 3-0. The Patriots conclude their three-game series with Longwood today, Thursday at home, with the first pitch scheduled for noon.
