Library budget vote set for April 14

Proposed budget stays below tax levy increase cap

A day after the state released next year’s education aid esti-mates, Middle Country school district made its first presen-tation on the 2015-16 budget, which maintains programs and stays within the tax levy increase cap.

The more than $232 million budget, a 1.63 percent increase over this year, will continue to promote the district’s sci-ence, technology, engineering and mathematics — known as STEM — program, adds teach-ers to comply with a new state mandate and allocates for an extra section of prekindergar-ten. Under the plan, average homeowners with an assessed value of $2,200 will pay an ex-tra $93.19 in taxes next year, according to school board

President Karen Lessler’s April 1 presentation.

Like many other districts across the state, Middle Coun-try is adding staff in order to comply with a state-mandated English as a second language initiative, which aims to help students whose first language is not English.

“The superintendent is working with implementing the regulations into the Middle Country school district and we’re currently looking at two to three teachers being staffed to meet this unfunded man-date,” Lessler said.

Lessler was pleased to share the good news that 60 percent of the Gap Elimination Adjust-ment will be returned to the district. The deduction began in the 2009-10 fiscal year as an effort to close the state’s deficit.

The district will lose roughly $3.3 million in aid next year, which is less than the $9 mil-lion it lost this year.

“I want to be clear that this is not extra money that we’re get-ting,” Lessler said. “This is mon-ey that we’re entitled to have. It has been earmarked in our bud-get and there has been a reduc-tion in this funding, and finally,

this year we’re seeing some res-toration of these funds.”

The board president also commented on why the district didn’t have budget meetings until April 1. She blamed Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and his lack of cooperation with releas-ing the state aid runs, which weren’t made public until

An average Middle Country resident will see an increase of less than a dol-lar a month under the Middle Country Public Library’s proposed $15.2 million 2015-16 budget.

An average homeowner with an as-sessed value of $3,000 will pay $0.93 ex-tra per month, according to the library’s spring newsletter. The budget increases by 1.4 percent over the current year and stays within the library’s tax levy in-crease cap.

Under the plan, the library will offer a 3D printing service. Adults can put in a request to use the printer, while children can utilize the device under the supervi-sion of a staff member.

Outdoor games for adults are also available. Games such as Jenga and lawn bowl-ing can be rented for seven days at a time.

“We thought this could be fun for adults,” library Director Sophia Serlis-McPhillips said. “They can now check it out instead of buy-ing it.”

In addition, the library is working to get its Music and Memory program off the ground. The program is catered to-ward people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Program partici-pants will listen to music via iPods to help jog memories and improve their quality of life.

Serlis-McPhillips also noted that the notary service offered at the library’s Centereach location would expand to the Selden location in May.

“We can now offer it to our patrons in that neck of the woods,” Serlis-McPhillips said.

The children’s department will also see new things. The museum pass pro-gram is set to expand, and starting next year, tickets to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and the Children’s Mu-

seum of Manhattan will be offered. In addition, a new initiative called 1,000

Books Before Kindergarten will com-mence in September. With the goal of get-ting kids to read 1,000 books by the time they enter kindergarten, young kids will take home backpacks filled with 10 books at a time. Participants will receive an in-centive for every 100 books they read.

There will also be new resources for the adult and children sections. Two new child-friendly databases called Sci-enceFlix and FreedomFlix, which spe-cialize in science and American history, respectively, will be available.

For adults, a new program called hoop-la, which Serlis-McPhillips called “very popular,” will be available for adults to download movies and books.

The library will continue to expand access to downloadable e-books.

“There’s been an in-crease in circulation for downloadable [books] instead of print,” Serlis-McPhillips said.

Despite the change, the director said as long as people con-tinue to read, that is all that matters.

Middle Country Public Library Board of Trustees President John Hoctor said he is pleased at the work the library does every year.

“Middle Country is always on the cusp,” Hoctor said. “They are the leader in the field.”

Hoctor’s deep love for libraries is why he sits on the board. He said every time he visits the library he get’s a sense of joy.

“One of the things I love about our library are the programs for children,” he said.

The library budget vote and trustee election will take place April 14 from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Centereach building. Incumbent Trustee Jacqueline Schott is running for re-election unop-posed. She was unavailable for comment Tuesday evening.

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 Setauket-based 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 Hospi-tal 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 hos-pital, Marianetti never left her side, the father’s aunt, Susan Calvi, said: “Slept there every day.”

Out of all the nation’s experts Mari-anetti saw, he said, just one, neurologist Dr. Chris Sinclair at John T. Mather Me-morial 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 con-nections between brain cells that allow

The Middle Country school district is ready to move forward with several capi-tal improvement projects for some of its 15 schools but is facing obstacles as state ap-proval for the projects could take 34 weeks.

At the April 1 school board meeting, board President Karen Lessler gave an update on the approximate $125 million bond voters approved last November. Currently, the district is looking at roof repair, resurfacing tracks, security up-grades and more.

“The obstacle that we are currently fac-ing is that the type one projects, which are one-shot projects that are not so complex, are taking eight weeks to get through the [New York State Education Department],” Lessler said.

According to the facilities planning di-vision of the state education department, final engineering review will take about 32 to 34 weeks. There are approximately 930 projects awaiting review.

According to Saverio Belfiore, of Mel-ville-based H2M architects + engineers, the district’s engineering firm, roof repairs

and track resurfacing projects for the high schools have been submitted to the educa-tion department.

A representative from the department did not return a request for comment.

Some of the bonded money will be used to replace 4,000 windows district wide. Many windows have not been replaced in more than 20 years, officials previously stated. Window replacement qualifies as a type one project and will be replaced over-night and throughout the summer, ac-cording to Lessler.

Security is another high-priority item for the district. Currently, details are being finalized with building principals for secu-rity upgrades to each building. According to Belfiore, upgrades to the secured entry vestibule at the prekindergarten centers, Eugene Auer Elementary, North Coleman Road Elementary and Oxhead Road El-ementary have been submitted.

Belfiore said many of the district’s proj-ects are type one and should be approved in the shorter time frame, while the other projects should begin this summer.

Putting the obstacles aside, Lessler said everything is moving along.

NO PROBLEM!

it’s now just a few clicks away

POLICE BLOTTERIncidents and arrests from March 30-April 5

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 Boston was by taking the LIRR from Brooklyn to Greenport, transferring there to a ferry to cross the Long Island Sound to Connecticut and then resum-ing 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, com-merce and robust population growth. That’s still a central appeal for the con-cept 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 easier to live and work near LIRR stations. The good news there is that the Long Island Index and the Re-gional Plan Asso-ciation determined in 2010 that a total of 8,300 acres are available for infill development within a half-mile of LIRR stations and down-towns. That means that transit-oriented de-velopments can enhance downtown areas while reducing pressure for development 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 available. The jobs and young people that we want are, therefore, going elsewhere. It defies common sense to think that Long Is-land 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 Foundation, which publishes the Long Island Index.

Student veterans at Suffolk County Community College, more than 500 of them, will soon benefit from a large grant from Island Outreach Founda-tion Inc.

The grant will help fund the estab-lishment of a veterans resource center on the Ammerman campus that will provide services for veterans through-out their school careers, including academic support/free tutoring across all disciplines; customization of ad-missions and orientation activities; academic advisement, career assistance and mental health counseling; comput-er access and study stations with assis-tive technology software; a mentoring program; specialized programs, in-cluding career fairs, geared specifically toward female student veterans; and collegewide training for all faculty and

staff on how to support student veterans inside and outside the classroom.

“This generous grant from Island Outreach Foundation will enable Suf-folk County Community College to provide the support that veterans want — a single point of contact with trained staff to guide their transition as they pursue their educational goals,” said Thomas Tyson, college coordina-tor of veterans affairs.

The Island Outreach Foundation Inc. is a private, philanthropic orga-nization dedicated to assisting other organizations in accomplishing their stated missions, with a focus on edu-cation, health care, environmental and quality of life issues, and general com-munity needs. The organization focus-es the majority of its efforts in Suffolk County.

March 31. Earlier this year, Cuomo said education aid would increase by 1.7 percent — $377 million — state-wide if the state Legislature didn’t adopt his education reforms. A com-promise, which included changes to the teacher evaluation and tenure systems, was reached and aid in-creased by about $1.4 billion.

Despite the lack of estimates in the beginning, the district put together a budget it feels will suit everyone in the community. The tax levy in-crease cap is about 1.75 percent, but has the potential to increase or

decrease as the district crunches a few more numbers.

With regard to new programs, of-ficials said they hope to add a science research program at the high school, which they feel will interest students. Lessler also commented on the suc-cess of the prekindergarten program and the need for another section.

If the budget is voted down, sports, clubs, full-day kindergarten and prekindergarten are among the programs that could be negatively impacted.

The board is expected to adopt the budget at the next board meet-ing on April 22. A budget hearing will be held on May 6, and the bud-get vote will take place on May 19.

the cells to communicate with one an-other, and in Kayla those have become damaged. But those connections can be regrown in a developing brain.

“When someone’s so young, [the fu-ture] 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 appoint-ments 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 frig-gin’ 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 Tuesday morning, the fund had reached more than $20,700.

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,” Maria-netti said. “I’m going until either she gets better or I die.”

have a service-related disability could also receive to an additional exemption.

Veterans already get the same percentage in tax cuts for the town and county portions of their taxes.

According to the legislation’s co-sponsor, state As-semblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), the aver-age veteran homeowner could save as much as $400 under the new law if his or her respective school dis-trict opts in. Taxpayers living in school districts that opt in would see a tax increase, as the district’s as-sessed property value would decrease. “I hope there’s a way to overcome the obvious budgetary difficulties,” Englebright said in a phone interview.

Brookhaven Tax Assessor Jim Ryan said there are approximately 22,000 veterans who qualify for ex-

emptions in the town. Ryan said the town is still try-ing to determine the legislation’s financial effects for each school district that opts in.

In a letter sent to the town’s school districts, Ryan stated that districts must pass a resolution on or before March 1 in order for the exemption to affect the De-cember 2014 tax bill. Among the school districts con-sidering opting in are Kings Park and Middle Coun-try — Rocky Point already opted in — after discussing the legislation at recent board of education meetings.

Kings Park Superintendent Susan Agruso said if the district grants the exemption, an average home-owner with an assessed value of $6,000 could see a tax increase of about $82. According to the Smithtown Town tax assessor’s office, Agruso said, there are 601 residences with veterans in Kings Park.

While both the Kings Park and Middle Country school boards decided to hold future public hearings on the matter, the Rocky Point Board of Education did

not, but voted to opt in at a school board meeting on Jan. 13.

According to Jennifer Kuefner, of the district’s pub-lic relations firm, Syntax, the district’s legal council said the school board meeting served as a public hear-ing since the item was on the agenda and residents had the chance to comment.

In an email, Kuefner said, “While the district is awaiting final statistics from the Town of Brookhaven, it cannot think of a more worthy group to receive this exemption — an exemption which they are already re-ceiving from other taxing jurisdictions.”

Englebright said while he understands that school districts may be hesitant to cut back on much-needed taxes in hard economic times, the law shows a “mean-ingful appreciation” for veterans’ sacrifices. “It is a worthwhile and worthy initiative,” he said. “Not one that should be dismissed … just because we are in dif-ficult times.”

EDITORIAL

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 chickens” and “Hu-mane slaughter.” All lies.

Less fun is the stuff they never talk about. Like the hundreds of millions of chickens crammed seven into a cage de-signed for one, unable to move or spread their wings. Or their hundreds of mil-lions 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 breed-

ing 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 animal waste that poison downwind neighbors with putrid odors?

They call them “lagoons.” And to make sure that kids don’t confuse the pig flesh 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 Amer-ican consumers much longer. Anyway, happy April Fools’ Day, everyone!

Put down the pitchforksOpting 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 depart-ment did not acquiesce on a list of demands, one of which was to stop weighing student test scores so heavily in teacher and adminis-trator 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 su-perintendents who willfully violate state education regulations — such as by refusing to administer a re-

quired assessment — risk being re-moved 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 regula-tions and standards, there must be some degree of state standardiza-tion 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 great-est 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 adminis-trators are kicked out of office.

Let us also pause to think about how adult behavior affects our kids. This paper has previously editorial-ized 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.

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

D. None of the aboveby DaNiel DuNaief

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.

Both teams stranded runners on base after several innings, but the Smithtown West softball team left fewer players stranded, to pull out a 4-0 victory over vis-iting Newfield on a cold, dreary Tuesday afternoon in a League II matchup.

Newfield senior Jennifer Sarcone struck first with a deep shot to left center for a

standup double but was stranded at the bottom of the first.

Smithtown West sophomore Tara Killeen drove in senior Kassie Furr on a sacrifice fly to give her team a 1-0 lead to start the second inning, and the duo did it again in the top of the third when Killeen smacked a fly ball to right field to drive in Furr to take a two-run advantage.

“I didn’t think we came out with as much energy as we normally do,” Newfield pitcher Tabitha Butler said. “We should’ve got more lift on the ball. All we were do-ing is driving balls into the ground right at them so we weren’t’ finding the gaps.”

Smithtown West head coach Dave Miller

sent in freshman right fielder Madison Mulder to pinch run at first, who stole sec-ond base on the very next pitch, but again, the Bulls stranded a runner on base.

Newfield head coach Jessica Palmac-cio said her team didn’t execute when the opportunity presented itself.

“They were exactly what we thought they would be,” Palmaccio said. “They’re a good team. We’re a good team, but we didn’t do what we needed to do today. That’s all.”

Smithtown West lit up the scoreboard once more when Furr drilled a hit to rightfield to drive in sophomore Kaitlyn Loffman to edge ahead 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth.

“We came out knowing what to expect and we came out ready to play with good communication,” Smithtown West senior pitcher Kim Plaspohl said. “I felt confident because I knew my team would back me up.”

Furr, who defensively collected two line drives in the dirt to stop both, was there for her pitcher.

“I just knew I needed to support my pitcher and a play like that could mean the game,” she said. “So I knew when it was hit

I needed to do whatever I had to do to get to it.”

Newfield’s Butler thought that her movement could’ve been better to help her team not just from the plate but from the mound.

“I didn’t hit all of my spots and that’s where they took advantage of it,” she said. “That’s where they got their hits.”

Killeen, in scoring position, was driven home by Smithtown West sophomore Amber Meystrik’s bat to take a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the sixth.

“Their energy was more than ours was today,” Sarcone said. “We had opportuni-ties today that we didn’t take advantage of.”

Newfield threatened late, but couldn’t capitalize and fell to Smithtown West to drop to 2-3, while the Bulls improve to 2-1.

“I thought the girls played very, very well,” Miller said. “My pitcher was great. She didn’t walk anybody and our short stop [Furr] played better than I’ve ever seen her play. She’s a four-year varsity player.”

Smithtown West traveled to Riverhead on Wednesday while Newfield hosted Co-piague, but results for the games were not available by press time.
