The votes are in, and all li-brary budgets in the Huntington area have passed.

The Harborfields Public Li-brary $4.8 million budget passed with 244 votes in favor and 29 against, resulting in a 0 percent change from last year. Center-port resident David Clemens was also elected to the librarys board of trustees. Clemens is currently a trustee of the Suffolk County Historical Society and chairman of the library committee.

Huntington Public Library $8.8 million budget is also a 0 percent increase from the 2015-16 budget. There were 201 votes


The race for commander in chief made a pit stop in Huntington on Mon-day with Republican presidential candi-date John Kasich (R-Ohio) stumping at The Paramount.

Kasich, governor of Ohio, spoke face-to-face with New York voters ahead of the April 19 primary with hopes of gaining momentum against his Repub-lican counterparts in the race. He received some of his loudest cheers from the audi-ence after delivering a line about his approach toward what has been a contentious campaign cycle battling the likes of Republican presi-dential candidates Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

I may have been ignored for six months in my campaign because I spent my time taking the high road to the high-est office, not the low road, Kasich said.

Trump, a Manhattan businessman, is currently leading in national polls as he has been for several months, but Kasich has been picking up speed as the Repub-lican primaries make their way to the East Coast. RealClearPolitics said Kasich has more than doubled his poll numbers from March 1 to April 1 going from 9 percent to almost 21 percent.

Audience members in the Huntington theater asked Kasich questions, many about whether or not he can actually take off the gloves and take on Trump, who has become known for his controversial comments and heated campaign rallies.

Kasich said while of course he could do it, he doesnt necessarily want to.

I dont want to live in the negative lane, he said. Ive got two 16-year-old twin daughters and a heck of a lot of people in the state of Ohio who at this point are pretty proud of what Ive done. Ill fight, but Im more interested in giving you the visual. Id rather do it in a more positive, upbeat way, giving people hope.

The governor tried to convince voters that he would be able to defeat both his Republican rivals, and eventually the fu-

ture Democratic nominee by securing votes from both sides of the aisle.

These things cant get done with just one party, he said. If Im president, well have a con-servative agenda, but we are not going to tell our friends in the other party to go away, to drop dead or demean them. We are

going to invite them in. Before were Repub-licans or Democrats, we are Americans.

In terms of specific policies, Kasich made several promises for his first 100 days in office, if he were to be elected.

We will have a system that puts a freeze on all federal regulations except for health and safety, so we stop crushing small busi-ness, he said. I can tell you that were going to have lower taxes on businesses so theyll invest in America and not in Europe. Were going to have a simplified tax system with lower taxes for individuals and were going to have path to a balanced budget.

He also addressed how he would han-dle immigration, an important subject to Suffolk County residents.

According to the Long Island Index, the number of white residents has de-clined in the past 10 years, as Hispanic and Asian populations have continued to grow. The U.S. Census, in 2014, stated foreign-born persons made up nearly 15

percent of the Suffolk population.Kasich said he would implement a

guest worker program that would help the 11.5 million illegal immigrants, who have not committed a crime, find a path to legalization.

Were not going to hunt you down, he said.

Kasich said that Suffolk County is a diverse area with residents on all ends of the political spectrum, and he acknowl-edged he could represent more than just one party.

I happen to be a Republican but the Republican Party is my vehicle, not my master, Kasich said.

in favor to 34 against, and in-cumbent Trustee Charles Rosner was elected for another term.

Director Joanne Adam said the new fiscal years budget in-cluded expanding operating hours on Friday nights during the summer months so the li-brary can be open until 9 p.m. on Friday nights yearlong. Another addition from the budget Adam touched upon is the library re-joining Partnership of Automat-ed Library Systems.

This will enable our patrons to pick up their hold items at any library in the county and will make the process of borrowing items from other libraries much easier, Adam said.

Northport-East Northport had the highest vote count, with 408 votes in favor and 65 against for the nearly $9.8 million budget.

The budget has a $21,100 overall increase in the tax levy.

Incumbent Margaret Har-tough was re-elected as trustee there. She is currently the head of the teen services department at the Half Hollow Hills Com-munity Library.

Finishing off the list is Cold Spring Harbor Library and Environmental Center, which passed the approximate $2 mil-lion budget, another budget with a 0 percent increase, with 143 votes in favor and 22 against.

Trustees Dana Lynch, Gayle Quaglia and George Schwertl were re-elected for another term.

The residents of Cold Spring Harbor have continually dem-onstrated their commitment to the Library, Director Roger Podell said in a letter posted on the librarys website.

The fight against gas-powered leaf blowers continues in Huntington.

Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) launched an initiative to educate Hun-tington residents on the environmental and health effects of specific leaf blowers this past week. Ber-land posted a video on her page within the town website that shows a presen-tation with Quiet Communities and the American Green Zone Alliance, both organizations that work toward pro-tecting the health, environment and quality of life from the use of industrial outdoor mainte-nance equipment.

The pollution generated by gas-powered leaf blowers is completely avoidable, as is the high-frequency noise generated by these blowers, which carries through entire neighborhoods and has been associated with permanent hearing damage, Berland said in the video.

She highlights a lithium battery-powered leaf blower as a preferable alter-native to gas-powered blowers.

Lithium battery-powered leaf blow-ers give off zero toxic emissions and generate 50 percent less noise than gas-powered equipment, Berland said. There is no soil or water pollution and the price is comparable to other types of lawn maintenance equipment.

Quiet Communities Executive Direc-tor Jamie Banks talked in the video about the public health and environmen-tal effects of gas-powered blowers.

If you think about what it takes to maintain a gas-powered engine, there are a lot of solid and toxic chem-icals, Banks said. They come usually in cans or nonrecyclable plastic con-tainers with residue. These can be thrown into land-

fills; the chemicals themselves can be spilled into the soil and eventually reach water supplies and marine systems.

She also highlighted the health risks that come with using or being around the usage area of a gas-powered leaf blower.

Workers who have these machines on their backs, they are very close to the source of the exhaust emissions and oth-er ground source particulates, she said, noting that children playing nearby may

also be exposed.Both the exhaust emissions and the

ground source particulates can negatively affect health.

A 2013 assessment by the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer said, Outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans, with the particulate matter component of air pollution most closely associated with increased cancer inci-dence, especially cancer of the lung. An association also has been observed be-tween outdoor air pollution and increase in cancer of the urinary tract/bladder.

The American Lung Association also said in its 2014 State of the Air, Short-term exposure to particle pollution can kill. Particle pollution does not just make people die a few days earlier than they might otherwise these are deaths that would not have occurred if the air were cleaner.

The noise effect of leaf blowers was also mentioned in Berlands presentation.

According to public advocacy group Dangerous Decibels, once a sound reaches 85 decibels or higher, it can cause permanent damage to your hear-ing. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said noise from leaf blowers can reach at least 90 decibels.

According to the Center for Hearing and Communication, rainfall measures about 50 decibels, normal conversation is about 60 decibels and freeway traffic or a vacuum cleaner could reach about 70 decibels.

The health risks posed by gas-pow-ered landscaping equipment need to be

addressed, Berland said.She is also encouraging residents and

landscaping companies in the Hunting-ton area who only use electric-powered equipment, as opposed to gas-powered equipment, to take a green pledge and add themselves to a list that will be fea-tured on the towns website.

Berland has been working on legisla-tion that would limit use of gas-powered leaf blowers in summer months, as resi-dents have voiced their concerns about the blowers at town board meetings and have asked for Heckscher State Park to be designated the towns first green zone an area maintained with zero-emission lawn care equipment.

At previous town board meetings, Berlands proposal has not picked up much steam with other board members.

The Northport Board of Education voted to include more than $3 million worth of capital projects on the ballot last Thursday. Improvements range from reno-vating the softball field at Northport High School to irrigation for the Pulaski Road school.

A total $1.639 million of the improvements are in-cluded in the budget, and the remaining approximate $2 million worth of improvements would have to be funded by a capital reserve fund, which the public would need to approve separately.

Superintendent Robert Banzer said the district is proposing $1 million in capital funds be spent on replacing a boiler at Ocean Avenue Primary School and upgrading the fire alarms at Dickinson Avenue Elementary.

Over the last few years we have been replacing boil-ers, and so we can almost see the end with this project, Banzer said at the meeting. As for the fire alarms at Dickinson, he said we need to get to each of the class-rooms the strobes with the alarms and the smoke heads. And thats what this money would allow us to do.

The boilers would come in at $800,000 and the fire alarms at $200,000.

According to the district, other projects not funded by the capital reserve could be funded through addi-tional state aid.

With the state budget passing on Friday, it was confirmed that districts will be receiving full restora-tion of the Gap Elimination Adjustment, a deduction of state aid taken from all New York school districts, enacted several years ago in an effort to close a state budget deficit.

This is sort of saying if we receive more state aid, here are some projects that have emerged over the last few months, Banzer said.

Totaling almost $640,000, these improvements in-clude renovating the softball field at Northport High School, district wide door lock replacement and install-ing irrigation at the Pulaski Road fields.

There has been a discussion about replacing our door locks so that they can lock on both sides, Banzer said. This is a safety issue as well as helping us streamline our classrooms keys and locks.

As for the field repairs, Banzer said there has been a lot of talk about the conditions of Northports fields.

The $2 million capital reserve fund would go to-ward replacing the gymnasium ceiling at Northport Middle School, renovating the locker rooms at the middle school and replacing a boiler at the Pulaski Road school, among other improvements.

BOE Vice President David Badanes made a motion for all projects to go on the ballot, as well as an addi-tional project: replacing the tennis courts at Northport Middle School.

Reactions to the vote reverberated across the MMA community.

I truly appreciate the New York State Assembly as a whole to finally get this bill passed, Baldwin native and active Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Chris Weidman said in an email through his media contact. UFC is the premier MMA governing body in the world.

Along with the UFC, I campaigned very hard to get this done and made sure the people of New York were educated

about mixed martial arts and how im-portant it is for the sport to be regulat-ed in our state, Weidman added. The people of New York have spoken and I think in the very near future I will be able to showcase my craft and my hard work to the people of New York. Im sure the UFC has big plans for the first UFC event in New York in history. I have no idea what theyve got in the works, but I think an event at Madison Square Gar-den has to happen. I would love noth-ing more than to defend my title on my home turf in that arena.

North Shore native and United States Marine Corps veteran Devin Mollberg, who has trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and boxing as a pastime since his return from service in Afghanistan in 2014, offered his perspective on the decision by the State Assembly. Mollberg, 28, has said he hopes to pursue a career in mixed martial arts.

Its about time, Mollberg said in an interview. Its a great thing for all NY fighters and definitely a positive thing for the state. It should have happened a long time ago but now there is nothing but good things to come from here.

The decision will generate 525 perma-nent jobs and about $70 million in an-nual spending, according to Lupinaccis release. Assemblymen Andy Raia (R-East Northport) and Steve Englebright (D-Se-tauket) both voted in favor of the bill.

Discussion of mixed martial arts elic-its a wide range of opinions, though very soon one thing will be indisputable: it will be legal in New York.

The State Assembly passed a bill that will lift a near 20-year ban on the sport on March 22 with a 114 to 26 vote. New York is the only state in the country where it is illegal to take part in a mixed martial arts event.

The bill will become law after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signs off, though he has expressed support in the past. Assemblyman Mike Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) was one of the 26 that voted against the bill.

The legalization of mixed martial arts fighting in New York is the perfect example of what former Senator Patrick Moynihan would characterize as defining deviancy down and normalizing a dangerous blood sport in the name of economic develop-ment, Fitzpatrick said in a press release. This is not the economic development our state needs. I am concerned about the health of fighters and what message nor-malizing and lauding violence sends to our children and families. Just because 49 other states do it doesnt make it right for New York. Legalizing MMA is the wrong move for our state.

Assemblyman Chad A. Lupinacci (R-

Huntington Station) cosponsored the bill.I am thrilled that the Assembly has

finally passed legislation to bring this highly skilled sport to the arenas and venues across New York State, Lupinac-ci said in a press release. There are many fighters native to New York who have been forced to leave the state to pursue their dream of competing professionally. Legalization will allow them to stay in their hometowns and compete in front of their families and friends.

A 19-year-old woman was able to break free from her Hyundai El-antra before it was fully engulfed in flames just after noon on Saturday, April 2, in Commack.

The woman struck a tree while driving on Verleye Avenue, causing the car to overturn and eventually catch fire.

Emergency responders from the Commack Fire Department, Com-mack Volunteer Ambulance Corps and Suffolk County Police Depart-ment responded to the crash near Lefferts Avenue. The Commack Fire Department responded with three engines and a heavy rescue truck.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames and used foam to cover the spilled gasoline.

The Commack Volunteer Am-bulance Corps transported the teenager to Huntington Hospital.

eres a new president of the Hun-tington Station Business Improvement District.

Frank Cosentino has taken over a er the BIDs rst president Keith Barrett decided to step down and let some new blood in.

Cosentino has owned County Line Hardware in Huntington Station for the past 30 years, and has been a member of the BID for three.

It was a surprise, Cosentino said of his nomination in a phone interview. Al-though Cosentino resides in St. James, he said Huntington Station has become his home town. Everyone becomes like a family, he said You just want to work to make the area better.

Of his plans for the future of the BID, Cosentino said he wants to start spending more money on the people and businesses that are giving money to the BID.

I want to start promoting the busi-nesses in the area more, he said.

Cosentino said he wants to focus on di erent businesses every month along a theme, like a month of home improve-ment and another month of car-related businesses.

I want to highlight what is already available in Huntington Station, he said.

He also said the BID is currently working toward revamping its Facebook page, so that the BID can send out notices about events to member and help create programs that teach business owners how to utilize Facebook better.

We want to develop a seminar to help teach people how to set up a Face-book page for their business, and how to gather likes and create events, he said.

Cosentino said Huntington Station can sometimes be the forgotten child, but to him is just as important, and he wants to continue to work to make the area a more desirable place for people to

visit and live.Graduating with a degree in chem-

istry from Alfred University in 1977, Cosentino worked at a chemical com-pany until 1985, when the opportunity arose to purchase what is now County Line Hardware.

He worked at a hardware store during college, so he thought his background in the profession made the buy the right choice. I had always wanted to own my own business, he said.

Barrett did not run for re-election and said the board had known for the past

year that they would need to nd a new president.

Hes a great guy, a successful business owner, and I think he will bring some new ideas, Barrett said in a phone interview. He cares about Huntington Station.

Barrett will stay on as a board mem-ber, and he said he hopes that Cosentino will help make the BID more business oriented in future projects.

I have known the people in the BID for a long time, Cosentino said. e fact that theyve put their trust in me ... makes me feel really good.

Harborfields school district hosted its annual Jazz Cabaret Night on March 23, during which students and faculty members paid tribute to local veterans with a dessert reception and musical performances.

Members of the Harborfields High School Leadership Club greeted the more than 40 veterans and their invited guests as they arrived at the event. They helped serve those in attendance with

a variety of desserts and refreshments while listening to stories and showing their gratitude to the veterans. Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School students con-tributed to the event by drawing pictures and writing cards to the veterans, which were displayed on each table.

To kick off the evening, Superinten-dent of Schools Diana Todaro offered words of welcome, followed by Assis-

tant Superintendent for Administration and Human Resources Francesco Ianni, who called up the students to introduce themselves. Giving due recognition, Ian-ni passed the microphone to each vet-eran who shared the branch of military service in which they had served.

Led by Clare Jackson, members of the high schools voice ensemble performed the National Anthem, Louis Primas

Sing, Sing, Sing and Aint No Moun-tain High Enough, by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, among other selections. The high school instrumental jazz en-semble, under the direction of Daniel Bilawsky, also entertained the audience with a variety of musical numbers.

We have created this event in dedi-cation to all of our veterans within our community, said Todaro.

Buzz Aldrin, the second man to step on the Moon during NASAs Apollo 11 mission in 1969, visited the Book Revue in Huntington on Tuesday evening to sign copies of his new bestseller, No Dream Is Too High: Life Lessons from a Man Who Walked on the Moon.

A large crowd gathered in the aisles of the bookstore on New York Avenue to get a glimpse of Aldrin, now 86, as well as his John Hancock.


It was a tough day for a meet, but the Huntington girls track and field team overcame last Saturdays weather to turn in some solid performances at the Lindenhurst Relays.

For the first time since 2013, we de-cided to open up the invite season at the Lindy Relays, Huntington head coach Shawn Anderson said. It was raining, windy and a tad cold. To be honest, the girls were a little apprehensive about competing, and performances were not exactly looking to be bests, primarily [due] to the weather. But, they competed very strongly, had some fun and took third overall, not far behind Bay Shore and Connetquot.

Huntingtons highlights included Al-exandra Koumas and Hadley Clayton combining for a time of two minutes, 25.9 seconds in the 2x400-meter hurdles. Koumas took second overall in 68.3 sec-onds. Clayton notched a personal-best time of 77.6 seconds.

The team of Anna Gulizio, Latoya Shand, Lexi Mills, and Nicole Abbon-

dandelo took second overall in the sprint medley relay, with a time of 4:26.34. Re-becca Caballero, Mackenzie Joseph, Ma-rina Ruzic, and Christie Reinersten ran a tough 4x200 race, fighting all the way to the line for third place in 1:58.47. Taking fifth in a time of 10:55.20 were Alexis Pas-torelli, Alexandra McKenzie, Sophie Del-lecave, and Niamh Condon in the 4x800.

Gulizio, Ruzic, Mills, Katie Seccafico, and Gulizio won the 4x400 relay in a time of 4:20.00.

Following the 4x400 win, a stacked distance medley relay team of Pastorelli, Shand, Koumas and Abbondandelo fin-ished with a time of 13:12 to win by 22 seconds. Huntingtons B team of Con-don, McKenzie, Dellecave and Clayton captured sixth place in 14:56.

The team of Erika Varady and Nicole Arenth took fifth overall in the race walk in 17:55.

Reinersten and Nicole Muzynski both cleared four feet and together combined

for fifth overall in the high jump.Blue Devils triple jumpers also per-

formed. Caballero and Gulizio took first place with leaps measuring 638, while Mills and Joseph were third with a com-bined effort of 58 feet.

While some of our athletes had some individual bests, the weather really played havoc on the quality of perfor-mances, Anderson said. The meet just became one of competition and tough-

ness, and our team proved to be able to rise to the occasion.

Huntington is currently 2-0 in dual meet competition as the Blue Devils head into Thursdays contest against West Islip. The meet at home is sched-uled to begin at 4:30 p.m.

The team will also be competing in the Suffolk Coaches Meet on April 9 at Sachem North.

OPINION

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

EDITORIALEducation relief

The state has finally rescinded a cut to education funding that has been costing our schools billions of dollars now its time to rebuild.

But we can only rebuild if we move up from here. We cannot afford any more setbacks.

Ending the Gap Elimination Adjustment will allow our school districts to collect more financial aid than they have been able to for several years now. The total deduction state-wide started as high as $3 billion and was eventually reduced to $434 million before being cut altogether. This was great news for education advocates across the state.

However, this new balance needs to be preserved in order for education to truly recover, because of the timing in which the cuts were installed. Around the same time the state started slashing education dollars, school districts were forced to adhere to tax levy cap regulations imposed under New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).

The Gap Elimination Adjustment was al-ready an enormous deficit for our schools, but adding the cap on top of it made it much more difficult for districts to find their footing. Because of this terrible timing, the true dam-age done to our districts cannot be measured in just dollars and cents theyre going to need some time to reposition themselves in the coming years.

Kids are our most important assets and were already falling behind other countries when it comes to educational performance. We need our legislators to stay true to their current position when it comes to education spending and invest in higher standards for our students.

Were gratified that our legislators finally got on board with slashing the Gap Elimina-tion Adjustment cuts. They should have never enacted it in the first place.

Support aidesTO THE EDITOR:

Im writing this letter as a tax-payer, a resident and the president of the Northport-East Northport Teacher Aide Association.

We are 110 members whose belief is that every child is valuable and can contribute to their fam-ily, community and society with their own special gifts and talents.

We come from diverse educational backgrounds, and with the skills we have mastered, we work side by side with educators, counselors and specialists, making meaningful contributions to help inspire and improve the lives of the students in our care.

We stand together because we believe in what we do but are undervalued, paid wages below the poverty line and qualify for food

stamps. We deserve to be recog-nized and treated fairly, and it will be very difficult for us to support the districts budget if the district cant support us.

We are asking the community to stand behind the aides who stand behind your children and tell the Nothport-East Northport school district to pay us a fair wage.

Forgive me for smiling. In my head, I see a face. It could be the face of a mother, father, sister, brother, neighbor or even the face in the mirror.

I think of all the range of expressions and emotions from that face. It can be ecstat-ic that a son or daughter was born, it can be pushing hard to

bring that baby into the world, it can be straining with all its might to cross a nish line or it can be waiting anx-iously at an elegant eatery for an eHarmony date to appear while trying to appear casually indi erent.

With my quality time o en involving my wife and chil-dren, I picture the faces of the parents who attend a concert or sporting event, while also envisioning the faces of the kids battling against each other, the clock, their instruments or some confounding assignment.

e part about the faces thats bringing a smile to my own is envisioning a scrambler button, mismatching the words and expressions to the situa-tion. Instead of a face and tone that showed rapturous glee a er getting a ticket to a live performance at Madison Square Garden, Ive imagined that same elation at the beginning of a class.

Yes, children, please put

your notebooks away, a teacher might say. We have a surprise quiz today.

Oh, seriously? ats awe-some. Oh, man. I cant wait to tell my friends on Snapchat that we got a surprise quiz. is is the best. I mean, we sometimes have regular quiz-zes that we know about in advance, but a surprise quiz is a huge bonus. I imagined surprise quizzes when I was younger, but this is the real thing. You are the absolute best teacher Ive ever had and Im sure Ill remember this quiz for a long time.

Now, I know those of you with adolescent children can hear sarcasm in that conver-sation. I prefer to imagine unbridled enthusiasm.

e scrambler button may be used in di erent circumstances.

Perhaps our boss described our work as moronic. Lets dial in the goofy uncle trying to get a nephew to giggle.

Oh, yeah, whos a great

boss? you might say as your voice rises. Come on. Who? Oh, wait, whered you go? you ask, as you cover your eyes. Wheres that great boss of mine? Did you disappear? Wheres the boss? Where is the most spectacular boss anyone has ever seen? ere he is ... peekaboo!

If youve ever been to a volleyball tournament, you know that even the most stoic and reserved girl screeches through the match. e team comes together a er each point in the center of the oor, putting their arms around each other and congratulating themselves.

Ladies and gentlemen, your train is delayed due to switching problems, an announcer might say over a loudspeaker to a group of commuters.

Yeah, cool, the commut-ers might scream as they come together in a circle of delight on the platform, tossing their briefcases to the side and

jumping straight up in the air and pumping their sts.

Or, perhaps, youre an enthu-siastic coach and youve asked your child to pass the salt.

Good job, kid, good job, you might say in a voice thats way too loud for an indoor meal.Now, keep the salt in your right hand. Stay bal-anced. Focus only on the salt. Dont shake it, dont think about not shaking it or youll start to shake it. Now, ease it over here. Way to go, kid, youre doing great. Youre al-most there thats some great clutch salt passing. Now, a er the meal, dont forget to shake hands with the pepper and tell it that you had a good meal.

D. None of the aboveBY DANIEL [email protected]

I envision a scrambler button, mismatching

the words and expressions to the

situation.

Happy 40th Birthday
