A partnership to aid cancer patientsBy BarBara Donlon

Cold Spring Harbor Labo-ratory and the North Shore-LIJ Health System say they are partnering up to align re-search with clinical services in an effort to treat the health system’s nearly 16,000 cancer cases each year.

The partner-ship, announced last week, will benefit from more than $120 million invest-ment that will be used to accelerate cancer research, diagnosis and treatment. The money will also be used to de-velop a new clinical research unit at the North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute in Lake Suc-cess, N.Y. The unit will sup-port the early clinical research of cancer therapies while also being used to train clinicians in oncology, the branch of medicine that deals with can-cer. The source of the invest-ment is not being disclosed.

“This is a transformative af-filiation for both institutions, bringing the cutting-edge basic discovery science and transla-tional cancer research at CSHL to one of the largest cancer treatment centers in the United States,” Cold Spring Harbor Lab President and CEO Bruce Still-man said in a press release.

As part of the affiliation, clini-cian-scientists will also be trained to perform pre-clinical cancer research and con-duct early-stage human clinical trials to help fur-ther research.

“Cancer patients at North Shore-LIJ are going to ben-efit from the world’s leading cancer research centers,” Dag-nia Zeidlickis, vice president of communications for Cold Spring Harbor Lab said in a phone interview Monday.

The partnership is just the latest move made by North Shore-LIJ to improve cancer care.

116 LIRR parking spaces reopenedBy roHma aBBaS

Huntington Town this week reopened more than half of the 228 parking spaces at the Huntington Long Is-land Rail Road station’s south parking garage it closed off earlier this year.

The town reopened 116 spaces on the fourth level of the garage on Tuesday, ac-cording to town spokesman A.J. Carter. A town statement Monday announced that the spaces would be reopened on Wednesday, but Carter said on Wednesday morning that they were reopened one day ahead of schedule.

The spaces were closed as part of an emergency repair

project on the fifth level, where there are still currently 112 spaces out of commission.

Parking stalls on the fourth level were closed off “as a safety precaution” because they were located directly underneath work that included remov-ing parking deck concrete in certain areas, repairing cables and structural reinforcement, according to the town.

“The project has reached a stage where the remaining work no longer presents a po-tential falling-debris hazard to persons and vehicles on the fourth level, allowing for the spaces to reopen,” the town said in a statement.

Spaces on the fifth level are scheduled to reopen on April 20.

‘I Matter’ fundraiser to honor local childrenBy BarBara Donlon

A local group that empowers children through character education and art is hosting a celebration and fundraiser event on April 30, where the public can come and see what it is all about.

Around 90 Commack, Huntington and Northport youth who participated in the “I Matter” art and character edu-cation project that was featured at local libraries in the past year will be honored

at the John W. Engeman Theater at 6 p.m. prior to a performance of “A Chorus Line” at 8 p.m.

The “I Matter” project is an educa-tion and leadership program founded by the Center for Creative Develop-ment based in Huntington. It aims to inspire and empower students to make healthy decisions and steer clear of destructive behavior.

Several presenters from the project are I MATTER continued on page A12

There will be no funding for the Northport-East Northport school district’s visual arts chairperson in next year’s proposed $159.6 mil-lion spending plan, despite pleas from students and parents to pro-tect a position they claim is key to student arts success.

The majority of school board members backed Interim Super-intendent Thomas Caramore’s recommendation to nix fund-ing for the position, currently held by Julia Lang-Shapiro, and to have both the music and vi-sual art departments managed by music chairperson Izzet Mergen — a structure that exists at other school districts, Caramore has said. The board voted to finalize the budget at a special meeting on Wednesday night, where mem-bers of the public once again tried to persuade board members to keep Lang-Shapiro’s position in-tact, or to at least hold off on mak-ing a decision until new Superin-tendent Robert Banzer joined the district next year.

But some members said they were not interested in “kicking the can” down the road, and a major-ity of the board felt that the arts department would weather the change unscathed.

“What I hear again and again and again is a fear,” trustee Lori McCue said. “A fear that by mak-ing this change the program won’t be the same for the students.”

McCue said that she isn’t in favor of adding the position back into the budget “because I think we can do better than that.” In-stead, the district needs to make the transition smooth and to en-sure arts students continue to get great opportunities.

“I think as a board and a com-munity, we can do this, and I’m willing to try it,” McCue said.

For trustee David Badanes, the decision to back Caramore came down to logic. He reasoned that other chairpersons at the district manage departments of 30 to 40 teachers, while the visual arts chairperson oversees a depart-ment of 14 teachers. Combining arts and music teachers would bring the merged department up to 41 teachers, a more reasonable number to warrant a chairperson, he said.

“Also, it is the teachers and their excellence that gives children op-portunities, and I do not believe that our art department, nor our music department, will suffer in any other way,” Badanes said. “So

it’s not about the money for me, it’s about clear logic.”

President Julia Binger noted that as the board’s trustees, they are entrusted with taxpayer mon-ey and from a financial stand-point, “It’s the right decision.”

Those on the other side of the issue don’t quite see it that way. Trustee Stephen Waldenburg Jr., the lone board member to oppose the consolidation, said he was concerned about the impact on students.

“Several weeks ago, I said I thought this idea troubled me and I’m still very con-cerned,” he said. “And I will be honest with you, I didn’t want this. I think that I’ve heard what people said. They’re very concerned about the program. And that’s what we’re here for. It’s to protect the program for the kids.”

Waldenburg added that if the position is to be removed, the dis-trict “must allow for the protection of the program in some form,” such as appointing a special as-sistant to Mergen, or designating a teacher in charge of arts oppor-tunities.

“We owe it to this community,” he said. “We owe it to our children. And we owe it to the history of Northport.”

At the same meeting, the board finalized the district’s 2016-17 budget, which represents a rough-ly 0.3 percent increase over this year’s spending plan, Assistant Superintendent for Business Kath-leen Molander said. The district proposes increasing its tax levy by about 1.3 percent, which is below its state-mandated 1.81 percent

cap.The district will receive more

state aid than it had anticipated — to the tune of about $800,000 in additional funds, Caramore said. The district will use that money, in part, to spare its reserves — offi-cials had planned to use $506,000 from reserves to reduce the tax levy, but will now substitute that sum with state aid.

The school board also ap-proved a second proposition for

May’s ballot, on whether to spend nearly $1.2 million of the dis-trict’s capital reserves on three proj-ects: paving the Northport

High School parking lot; replac-ing lighting in the East Northport Middle School auditorium; and replacing two boilers at Norwood Avenue Elementary School.

The budget already includes $1.95 million in capital projects — replacing three boilers, exterior bleachers and the press box at the high school.

One of the most significant as-pects of next year’s budget is the inclusion of full-day kindergar-ten, a program many parents had sought for years. Two East North-port residents, Eleni Russell and her 4-year-old daughter Sophia Russell, got up to thank the board for adding the program.

“This is one of the faces of hopefully full-day kindergar-ten next year,” Russell said, with her daughter clinging to her. Sophia also took the micro-phone and uttered a small “thank you,” to which the room burst into applause.

Members of the public will get to weigh in on the future of the Sag-tikos-Sunken Meadow Parkway at two New York State Department of Transportation informational meet-ings next week.

The state department is seeking input for a Sagtikos State Parkway/Sunken Meadow Parkway Operation-al Study. The goal of the study is to “examine how the roadway functions, identify causes of traffic congestion and accidents and determine how the corridor will function in the future.”

According to the DOT, an average of 90,000 vehicles per day use the Sag-tikos-Sunken Meadow State Parkway.

Residents, businesses, and all in-terested groups are encouraged to at-tend and provide input regarding the Sagtikos-Sunken Meadow Parkway Study within the towns of Islip, Baby-lon, Smithtown and Huntington, the department said in a statement.

The meetings will take place on Tuesday, April 14 and Thursday, April 16, 2015. The April 14 meeting is be-ing held at Deer Park High School, 1 Falcon Place, Deer Park, between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. The April 16 meet-ing is being held at William T. Rog-ers Middle School, 97 Old Dock Road,

Kings Park, between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Study-area maps, traffic and acci-dent data, and other related informa-tion will be on hand for review. State engineers and representatives will be available to answer questions and re-ceive comments on this operational study.

“Input and suggestions from the local community are strongly encour-aged,” according to a DOT statement.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) Does Not Need to Disrupt Your LifeAlmost one in every four women in the United States have some sort of pelvic floor disorder such as pelvic organ prolapse, and more women are likely to be affected as the population ages. Jennifer Hill, MD, a urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, part of North Shore-LIJ Health System, discusses what you need to know about this condition.

What is pelvic organ prolapse (POP)?Pelvic organ prolapse refers to the prolapse (drooping) of any of the pelvic floor organs such as the bladder, uterus, vagina, small bowel or rectum. These organs are said to prolapse if they descend into or outside of the vaginal canal or anus.

Are there different types of POP?There are several different types of prolapse. These include:• Cystocele — a prolapse of the bladder into the vagina, the most common condition• Uterine prolapse — a prolapse of the uterus into the vaginal canal• Vaginal vault prolapse — prolapse of the vagina• Enterocele — small bowel prolapse• Rectocele — rectum prolapse

What are the risk factors?Risk factors for POP include difficult deliveries, a family his-tory of POP, obesity, advancing age, a prior hysterectomy and conditions that chronically increase intra-abdominal pressure such as asthma, chronic cough or constipation.

What are the symptoms?Many women do not have symptoms and do not require treatment. However, urinary and bowel urgency and fre-quency, vaginal bulging, and pelvic pain and pressure are all common symptoms of prolapse that may be very bothersome to the patient.

What treatments are available?Many women with POP can manage their symptoms conserva-tively with pelvic floor exercises to tighten and strengthen the pelvic floor, high-fiber diets to prevent constipation, reaching and maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding activities that stress the pelvic muscles, such as heavy lifting.

If conservative management fails, and the pain and discomfort are still present, you may want to consider having surgery for the condition. Often, more than one of these types of surgery are needed at the same time. The types of surgery available include:• Cystoscele repair — for bladder prolapse• Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) — for uterine prolapse• Rectocele repair — repair of the rectum• Enterocele repair — repair of small bowel prolapsing into the vagina• Vaginal vault repair — suspension of the vaginal vault• Closure of the vagina — for severe procidentia (all pelvic organs protruding from the vagina)

If you or a loved one has symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, call (516) 734-8500 today to make an appointment with one of our urologists in Suffolk County. For more information, visit NorthShoreLIJ.com/Smith.

It’s official — Robert Banzer is North-port-East Northport school district’s next superintendent.

The school board approved Banzer’s appointment and contract at a meeting on April 1. The superintendent, who is currently the human resources direc-tor at the Wayne Central School District located outside Rochester, will take over Northport-East Northport’s reigns on July 1. His three-year contract ends on June 30, 2018.

Banzer’s annual base salary is $220,000, according to his contract. The board would meet each May to discuss an appropriate increase to Banzer’s sal-ary. Should he remain in office as of June 30, 2019, his base wages would increase by $6,000. He will also be getting three days of paid transition leave “to facilitate

his relocation to Long Island,” effective July 1, 2015. Banzer will be required to contribute 25 percent of current health insurance premiums on whatever plan he chooses, according to the contract.

A Northport-East Northport native, Banzer graduated from Northport High School in 1984. He was tapped from a pool of 28 candidates who applied for the position formerly held by Marylou McDermott, who resigned in January to take care of her ailing mother. Since then, Thomas Caramore has been the district’s interim superintendent. Banzer was selected by a group of school admin-istrators who served as consultants to the board and aided them in the search for a new superintendent.

In an interview last month, Antoi-nette Blanck, the president of the Unit-ed Teachers of Northport union, said she and the union were pleased with

Banzer’s pending appointment. “I feel confident that we will be able to

have a good working relationship, and that we can collaborate to bring about more positivity and improvements to our district and make Northport what it really can be,” she said. “And I think he’ll be able to do that.”

The newly appointed superintendent holds a master’s degree from SUNY Albany, with a concentration in so-cial studies teaching, and a bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College, with a concentration in economics. His ad-ministrative career includes six years as assistant superintendent for instruc-tion, almost three years as a middle school principal and three years as an assistant principal, all within the Brockport Central School District.

Banzer was a classroom teacher in three school districts since the begin-ning of his career in education in 1990 and has also served as a football and baseball coach.

PD: Centerport woman drove drunk with kidPolice say officers arrested a Cen-

terport woman who was driving drunk with her daughter in the car last Thursday.

According to the Suffolk County Police Department, the 2nd Precinct officers were responding at about 6 p.m. on April 2 to a witness report that the driver of a 2014 Volkswagen Passat, in a parking lot on Larkfield Road in East Northport, was drunk.

The officers determined that the driver, 45-year-old Jamie Wieser, was “under the inf luence of alcohol,” police said in a media release. Her 11-year-old daughter was in the car with her.

Wieser was arraigned on April 3 and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child passen-ger 15 or younger — under Leandra’s Law — endangering the welfare of a child and driving while intoxicated. A temporary order of protection was is-sued against her and she was held in lieu of posting either $10,000 in cash

or a $20,000 bail bond, according to online court records.

Attorney information for Wieser was not available.

Harborfields to explore full-day kindergartenBy BarBara Donlon

The Harborfields school board has green-lighted the creation of a committee that will explore the possibility of implementing full-day kindergarten in the district — a pro-gram residents say is key to early childhood education.

An online petition spearheaded by par-ent Jennifer Rogdakis sometime last month calls on the district to create a full-day kin-dergarten program, as parents feel the cur-rent half-day program is not enough for students. Roughly 400 parents have signed the petition.

Rogdakis, a parent of a 4-year-old and 6-month-old, said full-day kindergarten is crucial for suc-cessfully implementing the Common Core Learning Standards. She also said she feels the standards are designed with full-day kindergarten in mind.

“Half-day is not enough anymore,” Rog-dakis said. “I don’t want my son to feel he has to catch up in two years.”

Harborfields school district residents aren’t alone in their desire to see full-day kindergarten at their district. Local dis-tricts have made strides toward full-day

kindergarten. The Northport-East North-port school board just approved a proposed budget that would include full-day kinder-garten, and the Huntington school district brought the program back last year. The change.org petition claims Harborfields is in the minority of districts statewide with-out full-day kindergarten.

“It is incumbent upon the district and board to give our children the same op-portunity for quality education as children in 97 percent of New York State school dis-

tricts,” the petition reads. Following the launch

of the petition, the school board announced at its March 7 meeting the new committee that would ex-

plore full-day kindergarten in the 2016-17 school year.

According to a letter from Superinten-dent Diana Todaro, the district is currently accepting applications from residents who are interested in serving on the committee. The application can be found on the dis-trict’s website.

Rogdakis said she has handed in her application and wants to be on this com-mittee. She praised the district and said it would suffer without full-day kindergarten.

Centerport resident Marge Acosta said she feels students are done a disservice with a half-day kindergarten program. She criticized the two-and-a-half-hour school day and said it isn’t enough time for stu-dents to learn. Acosta said it’s as difficult for teachers as it is for students, because teachers are forced to squeeze in what they can during the roughly two-hour day.

“This is the time when their brains are developing and their skills are developing,” Acosta said. “This is the time to put money into their education.”

The school board said it and the dis-trict greatly value the community’s input on the matter and are appreciative of their feedback.

“In an effort to fully investigate the need for full-day kindergarten, we thought it was necessary to involve our community in the process from the very beginning,” according to the statement. “This committee, which will be com-prised of a variety of community resi-dents, will present their findings to the board in the early fall.”

Committee established to look into ‘16-’17 implement

‘Half-day is not enough anymore.’

Peaches Rodriguez, a break danc-ing pioneer, stand-up comedian and East Northport resident who broke into stardom after her role in the 1984 film, “Beat Street,” is the unlikely doppelgänger of a well-known French politician.

After a break dancing competition in Queens last month, Abdel Karim, who is a hip-hop choreographer and a friend of a friend of Rodriguez on Facebook, cre-ated a video meme of Rodriguez break dancing with the suggestion that it was actually Marine Le Pen, the popular na-tionalistic politician, dancing just after local elections in France.

Because of its extreme absurdity, the video went viral in France, with nearly 300,000 views on Facebook. That video, along with a second video of Rodriguez and a few other break-dancers, also went viral in the United States, with more than 100,000 hits.

“It’s always good to get exposure no matter how you get it,” Rodriguez said in a phone interview this week. “You can’t control something that goes viral. And you have to take it as it comes. It’s almost so random you just have to roll with it and enjoy it as it happens ... the views are continuing

to go up.”It’s as if there was a video of a Hillary

Clinton look-alike break dancing after an election, Rodriguez suggested for comparison — because that’s exactly what happened, she said.

In the 1980s, after moving from Connecticut to New York with the hopes of beginning a career in com-edy, Rodriguez said she got into break dancing after realizing how good she actually was at that style of dance.

Today, Rodriguez still does both — stand-up comedy and break dancing. But her main job is a traveling come-dian in the tristate area, she said.

“I break-dance part time, they have battles and events,” she said. “It’s a cool underground scene.”

Rodriguez also spends her time mentoring young, novice dancers in the industry.

Due to her new intercontinental fame, Rodriguez said she has a few gigs already lined up in the U.S.

Rodriguez added that if Clinton wins the 2016 presidential election, she would not hesitate to dress up like the former U.S. secretary of state and bust a move or two.

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 Is-land Rail Road. These developments are much needed and would serve multiple purposes — increasing housing options, enhancing downtown areas and provid-ing places to live and work with easy ac-cess to and from New York City. But they are not new to Long Island. Greenport on the North Fork was a transit-oriented de-velopment in the mid-19th century and thus underscores the potential that this long-standing 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 not to provide transit access to New York City but to connect New York with Boston, because the technology did not yet exist to bridge Connecticut’s rivers. Greenport was, and still is, the termi-nus for the LIRR Main Line —aka the Ronkonkoma Branch — but its funda-mental role at the time was to provide a transit connection to Boston by ferry. It was a two-way street for people and for commerce.

In the mid-19th century the only way to travel by train from New York City to Bos-ton was by tak-ing the LIRR from Brooklyn to Greenport, transferring there to a ferry to cross the Long Island Sound to Connecticut and then resuming train travel to Boston. Greenport, therefore, evolved naturally as a transit-oriented development with a thriving downtown that was created during this period with housing as well as jobs, commerce and robust population growth. That’s still a central appeal for the concept today, and it’s especially timely.

New York City is both the financial

capital of the world and a powerful mag-net for youth and talent. That makes it all the more important that Long Island build upon its proximity to the city by expanding transit access to its dynamic economy and the jobs it offers to Long Island residents and, as importantly, the talent pool it offers to support Long Is-land businesses. It’s also important to recognize that young people are much less inclined to drive cars than previous

generations.But there are two

keys to maximizing that access. First, we need to make it eas-ier to live and work near LIRR stations. The good news there is that the Long Is-

land Index and the Regional Plan Associa-tion determined in 2010 that a total of 8,300 acres are available for infill development within a half-mile of LIRR stations and downtowns. That means that transit-orient-ed developments can enhance downtown areas while reducing pressure for develop-ment on Long Island’s iconic and treasured rural landscape.

Second, we must enhance the LIRR infrastructure to make reverse commut-ing — from New York City to Long Is-

land — more available. On the 9.8-mile stretch of the LIRR Main Line between Floral Park and Hicksville, we’re still us-ing the same system of two tracks that were laid in 1844 when the Island popu-lation was 50,000. Today, 171 years later, we have the same two tracks and a popu-lation of 3 million. Six LIRR branches now converge on this bottleneck, turn-ing it into a one-way street during the peak morning rush, making reverse commuting impossible.

At present, we cannot compete suc-cessfully with other suburban areas in the metropolitan region where reverse commuting by transit is readily avail-able. The jobs and young people that we want are, therefore, going elsewhere. It defies common sense to think that Long Island can thrive in the 21st century with this critical defect in our transit system left in place.

The solution is to expand the current LIRR system of tracks to support Long Island’s economy, just as we did in 1844 when the track to Greenport was laid. Only now, we need to add a third track — or, as some call it, a Fast Track — to relieve the bottleneck between Floral Park and Hicksville. It is strangling the Long Island economy and, according to a recent report by the Long Island Index,

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 per-sonal 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 work-force 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 tran-sit-oriented development arguably as well as any community on Long Island, because ferry, bus and rail facilities con-tinue to power its reputation as a walk-able 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 fundamen-tal 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 Foun-dation, which publishes the Long Island Index.

Hands-only CPR came to East Northport Cub Scout Pack 005’s den meeting earlier this year.

At Trinity Regional School, Hun-tington Community First Aid Squad Chairperson Kathy Castillo and committee members Laurie Hoff-man, Israel and Rich Cortez and Carol Nucci trained 38 Cub Scouts and some of their siblings on the life-saving procedure.

Hands-only CPR has been suc-cessfully used by bystanders to give life-sustaining compressions to vic-tims prior to EMS arrival. Hands-only CPR can be a lifesaving differ-ence for someone who has suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. The method is easy and involves no mouth-to-mouth contact — only pushing hard and fast on the chest. Hopefully, the Cub Scouts, ranging from first- to fifth-graders will never have to use it, but their preparedness could save a life.

As a result of the training, the boys felt they would be even better prepared to fulfill the part of their official Cub Scout Promise that states “I promise to do my best … To help other people.”

Training young people has proven so successful that 20 states now teach Hands-only CPR as part of their high school curriculum. New York stands to become the 21st state after the Sen-ate passed legislation and Governor Cuomo (D) signed into law a measure

directing the state’s commissioner of education to come up with a CPR training curriculum.

Groups like the American Heart Association pushed to make the training mandatory for all high school students, citing cases in which someone performing hands-only CPR saved lives. Supporters of the training say it can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.

Tigers Team 5099, in only its second year competing in in-ternational high school robotics competitions, placed sixth in a recent robotics competition at Hofstra University.

Most of the teams were from the Long Island area, but international teams from Israel, Brazil and Canada also competed.

For the competition season, high school students and men-tors work during a six-week period to build large, game-playing robots that must com-plete a task, which changes yearly. While teams are given a standard set of parts as a foundation, they must inno-vate and design their own specialized modules.

Over the past two years, the health sys-tem invested more than $175 million to expand cancer treatment centers throughout Long Island and New York City.

Recently, North Shore-LIJ completed an $84 million expansion of the insti-tute’s headquarters in Lake Success. It consolidated all cancer services offered by North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center in a state-of-the-art 130,000-square-foot facility, including ambulatory hema-tology/oncology, chemotherapy and radiation medicine, surgical oncology and brain tumor services, according to a press release.

North Shore-LIJ is also building a new $34 million, 45,500-square-foot outpatient cancer center in Bay Shore and is pursuing other major expan-sions on Long Island and in Manhat-tan, Queens, Staten Island and West-chester County.

“Bringing the scientists of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory together with the more than 200 academic oncologists and clinicians of the North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute will transform our ap-

proach to cancer research and treatment throughout the New York area,” North Shore-LIJ President and CEO Michael Dowling said in a statement.

Cold Spring Harbor Lab’s research-ers have been studying cancer since the early 70s and have made several discoveries that have helped diagnose and treat cancer patients. In 1982, the lab was part of the discovery of the first human cancer gene. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cancer Center has been a National Cancer Institute-des-ignated cancer center since 1987 and is the only such center on Long Island, according to the statement.

The lab’s research focuses on many different types of cancers: breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, cervix, ovary and skin, as well as leukemia and lymphoma, carcinoid tumors, sarcomas and more.

The cancer institute is part of the 19 health centers that make up the North Shore-LIJ Health System. According to Zeidlickis, North Shore-LIJ cares for more than 16,000 new cancer cases each year and is New York State’s largest hos-pital system.

Under the terms of the partnership, both North Shore-LIJ and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory will continue as in-dependent organizations governed by their respective boards of trustees.

expected to attend the event, including Rob Goldman, the center’s director; New York State Assemblyman Andrew Raia (R-East Northport); corporate sponsors and more.

The project’s new theme song, “Shine On,” will be debuted by writer and re-cording artist Alan Semerdjian. Choir members from Huntington schools will be featured on the song.

“It’s really bringing the community together,” Raia said in a statement. “We

need to uplift the self-confidence of our teens and this is just the perfect program to do that.”

Participation in the “I Matter” proj-ect allows children to take part in a workshop environment where they share thoughts and feelings face-to-face, make photographic portraits of each other and more. The project also prompts public conversation and com-munity involvement to address social issues and drug use.

Tickets for the event can be purchased and donations and sponsorships can be made at the website www.imatterproject.org/donate.html.

Just a few hours before the New York State Legislature approved the state’s 2015-16 budget last week, 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 in-crease. Earlier this year, Cuomo (D) an-nounced 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 ed-ucation bureaucracy, implements the na-tion’s strongest and most comprehensive disclosure laws for public officials and makes the largest investment in the up-state economy in a generation,” Cuomo said in a statement.

But not all were convinced the edu-cation initiatives would reform public schools.

The Education Transformation Act of 2015 amends the teacher evaluation system, changes the time to gain ten-ure 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 stu-dents’ performance on the state’s com-mon core-aligned tests. The evaluation system was last changed in 2013.

In a phone interview last week, Mid-dle 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 sys-tem was misguided, and wished elected officials would have learned that “rush-ing into a system that doesn’t have de-tails 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 bud-get bill, which Cuomo issued on Tuesday with a message of necessity. When asked about the reforms, Englebright immedi-ately 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 im-

provements, 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 com-

ponent, Mike Fitzpatrick (R- St. James) voted yes. In a phone interview last week, Fitzpatrick said he stood by his decision.

He said he believed the reforms would bring more accountability to the sys-tem, which needed to be reformed. Fitz-patrick also said the amendments take away some of the New York State United Teachers union’s power. The union re-ferred 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.

OPINION

EDITORIALPut 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 admin-istrator 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 re-quired 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 — offi-cials 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 behav-ior affects our kids. This paper has previously edito-rialized about how the commotion over the Com-mon 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.

April foolsTO 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 remark-able hoaxes include “California’s happy cows,” “Free-range chick-ens” 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

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 suf-focate slowly. Or the miserable breeding sows producing mil-lions of piglets per year while trapped in tiny steel cages.

All in the spirit of year-round April Fools’ Day, the meat indus-try 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 con-fuse 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 consum-ers much longer. Anyway, happy April Fools’ Day, everyone!

Breaking ourselves down to build back up

Every 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 mo-ments in a week, month, or year can build up, turning us into a balled-up, wet rag in the corner

Lost art – and memories – reclaimed

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 un-deterred in the face of signifi-cant opposition.

Where do we find this relief? Some get it from exercise, where they perspire out those meta-phorical drops of ice water. As they push themselves along the pavement or across glistening fields, they generate momen-tum, 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 mov-ies, diving into books, or shar-ing a laugh with friends they’ve known for years.

What we sometimes need in our lives is a catharsis. You re-member 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 assign-ment that seemed like a confus-ing 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 untouch-able “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 re-quired starting over again every year or so. He looked out at the classroom, his teary eyes reveal-ing 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, slam-ming 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

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 de-scribed her feelings, I could see the small ice droplets that land-ed 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.

What we sometimes need in our lives

is a catharsis.

“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 Jew-ish woman who struggles to reclaim paintings looted from her family by the Nazis a half-century 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 Ger-many in 1938. Ultimately, they lived out their lives in Los An-geles, but much of their extend-ed family stayed and perished in the Holocaust. Their posses-sions were confiscated, includ-ing five paintings by Gustav Klimt. Those paintings, includ-ing “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer,” became Austrian icons; but for Maria Altmann, the portrait was simply of her Aunt Adele. The loss of those paint-ings came to symbolize the ter-rible loss of her immediate fam-ily, 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 Aus-tria. 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, Ar-nold 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 mon-etary 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 morn-ing, he managed to escape with his immediate family to the west. They, too, eventually ar-rived 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, deter-mined to enter claim for their stolen art, especially the most

valuable piece by Picasso.Their claim dragged on

through the courts for the bet-ter 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. Ran-dol Schoenberg, Alice and her brother, against their will, re-turned 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 suc-ceeded. In the movie, the pri-mary Austrian antagonist asks for some sort of shared owner-ship from Maria Altmann. His suggestion is curtly dismissed by Mirren. As my friend Alice was handed the framed Picasso

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 satis-faction from a bitterly lost world.

Maria Altmann did sell the painting of Adele Bloch-Bauer to Ronald Lauder, Estée Laud-er-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.

It’s going to be tough to stop these Tigers.The Northport girls’ lacrosse team is

on a three-game winning streak after topping previously undefeated North Babylon 11-5 Monday at Veterans Park in East Northport.

The Tigers came out with seven straight goals and big saves from senior goalkeeper and co-captain Kristen Brunoforte, keep-ing North Babylon at bay, until the team scored its first goal of the game with 16 sec-onds remaining in the first half.

“We’re excited about the win,” North-port head coach Carol Rose said. “Any time you beat someone in your conference it’s a good thing, so we’re happy about that. We started off and executed really well in the beginning of the game, but the second half we got really sloppy, a lot of turnovers,

and I wasn’t happy with that.”Rose said her team lost focus of what they

were trying to achieve and setting up the of-fense, as Northport turned over the ball four times in a row to start the second half.

“I think we fell behind a little bit, but we always pick it up at the end of the game,” said junior attack Courtney Orella, who scored a hat trick in the game. “We have good balance, we go to goal, and I knew we were go-ing to win because we always pull through at the end.”

With 13:28 left to play, Brunoforte made one of her 18 saves on the morning, but after a foul call, was unable to make the stop as North Babylon edged closer, 7-3.

Northport eighth-grade midfielder Ol-ivia Carner beat out defenders to the left side of the net and scored in front, at 9:03, to make it 8-3, before North Babylon an-swered back less than a minute later.

But Orella knew the game was the

Tigers’ to win.“We need to work on not getting rat-

tled,” she said. “As soon as they start to come back, I think we all sort of fall to their level. I think we need to realize how good we actually are and pick it back up, because we’re such a great team.”

Orella scored her second and hat trick goals back-to-back at 5:24 and 4:08, and seventh-grade attack Danielle Pavinelli passed to junior midfielder Natalie Lan-gella off a foul for an 11-4 advantage before North Babylon scored the final goal of the game, bringing the final score to 11-5, with a minute left to play.

Behind Orella, senior attacks and co-captains Emily Yoo and Heather Engellis netted two goals apiece, while senior attack and co-captain Gabbi Labuskes tacked on a goal and an assist. With the win, North-port improved to 3-0 in Division I, while North Babylon dropped to 3-1.

“I think our defense was strong,” Engel-

lis said. “Our goalkeeping was insane; our transition was good.”

The team agreed it needs to work on its shooting, because despite scoring 11 goals, the team was 7-for-18 on attempts in the first half alone.

But Rose does like the strengths she sees.“I thought in the beginning of the game

is where they showed their strength,” she said. “They were passing and they were running the offense on their own, calling their own plays, so they executed really well in the beginning of the game. They’re fully capable of doing that the entire game, but we’re still working on that.”

As long as the team can improve its shooting percentage and play a full game, Rose believes the sky is the limit for her team. The Tigers traveled to Florida today for some bonding and practice over the break, with the hopes of returning even stronger on the quest to achieve its goal.

“The weather’s been really cold, so it’s hard to work on anything, so we’re looking forward to going to Florida,” she said. “The team is looking to get back to the county finals, so that’s our goal.”
