A Miller Place High School student is suing the district for allegedly violating his First Amendment rights after he was punished for making an ad-libbed re-mark about the superintendent’s salary during a variety show.

At the Thursday, March 26, variety show, Kyle Vetrano, senior class presi-dent, appeared in a skit poking fun at the high school’s new bathroom policy, which allows one student at a time to use the bathroom in an effort to com-bat drug use and sales. According to the senior, he improvised the line that later got him into trouble.

“Is this what our superintendent gets paid all that money for? To write bath-room policy,” Vetrano said in the skit.

Following the remark, Vetrano said school administrators told him that he was not allowed to participate in the Fri-day night performance and was banned from school grounds during the show, as the line was not included in the pre-approved script.

“Kyle exercised his political speech rights, which are not to be violated by any government agency whatsoever, in-cluding his own school,” Vetrano’s at-torney, John Ray, of Miller Place, said at

a press conference held outside the high school on Thursday, April 2.

Vetrano’s mom, Christine, said the district is bullying her son, which is why they decided to take a stand and file the lawsuit.

The high school senior said he told a harmless joke with no malicious in-tent and was singled out by the district because the remark was about the su-perintendent. He claims other students also veered off script but were not repri-manded or punished.

Vetrano said he apologized to Super-intendent Marianne Higuera numerous times but was allegedly told that if he continued to bring up the situation, his senior prom, awards night and gradua-tion privileges could be revoked.

“I think as an American in this coun-try we have a right to freedom of speech and I’m just embarrassed that the dis-trict I have been a part of my entire life completely violated my First Amend-ment rights,” Vetrano said.

When reached for comment, the dis-trict’s public relations firm, Zimmerman/Edelson Inc. referred to a letter from Higuera posted on the district’s website.

According to the March 31 let-ter, students were made aware of the

Community members from Rocky Point and Sound Beach opened their wallets and their hearts over the week-end to replace a local family’s lost Disney vacation fund.

Sound Beach mother of three Kerri Bové had $1,000 cash in an envelope tucked in her purse on April 1, ready to use the funds to pay back a friend who had laid out the money for plane tickets to the amusement park.

Bové first had to drop her daughter off at a local gymnastics center where she used some of that cash to pay for tickets to an up-coming recital.

“I went to hand over my credit card to pay for the tickets when they told me it was cash only,” Bové said.

While a line formed behind her, she said she carefully thumbed through the Disney money to get out the amount she needed for the recital tickets.

In midst of the transaction, Bové started a conversation with her daugh-ter’s gymnastics teacher and tended to her crying 2-year-old. She then left the

facility to stop at the bank to replace the cash she had just used for the recital, and headed out to meet her friend to pay her for the tickets.

Less than a half hour later, Bové was tearing apart her car and her purse, searching everywhere for the money but it was nowhere to be found.

“My heart was pounding, I was searching frantically,” Bové said. “It was totally gone.”

In a panic, Bové called the gymnastics place hoping she had left the envelope there, but they said they couldn’t find it. She drove back to see if she dropped it in the parking lot, but still turned up empty.

“I was getting choked up thinking about all the months we spent planning this trip,” Bové said, noting that her husband Ray had been working 16-hour days, seven days a week to pay for it. “I was sick to my stomach. There was no way we would be able to pay my friend back and re-buy the tickets.”

The couple filed a police report, but the officer told them there was little chance that the money would turn up.

That night, she took to the Rocky Point and Sound Beach community pages on Facebook to make a plea to the person who took the money.

“Please I beg you if you know anything or accidently took the money PLEASE return it,” Bové wrote. “I know we live in a good community and I want to show my children there are good, honest peo-ple in this world.”

“I was hoping the person who took it

would see it,” Bové said. “I wanted them to just return it and to know that my kids were devastated.”

Bové said that the trip would be the first her family had taken since suffering a series of losses over the past few years, including the sudden deaths of her broth-er and nephew, as well as the death of her father just last year.

“We were so looking forward to it since

Budget season is in full swing and the local libraries aren’t excluded. Voters will take to the polls on Tuesday, April 14, to weigh in on proposed spending plans and elections of library trustees.

North Shore Public Library Director Laura Hawrey said in a phone interview that the proposed small increase of 0.9 percent from the current year would allow for additional programs at the li-brary. Language programs, including Spanish, Italian and English, will have additional offerings.

“All of the language programs are very popular,” she said.

In addition, the library will contin-ue to build its multicultural program, which exposes people to music and arts from different cultures.

Following another trend many libraries are experiencing, North Shore will contin-ue to supply readers’ demand for e-books.

“We are increasing the e-books and decreasing the amount of [printed] books,” she said.

But old-fashioned book lovers shouldn’t be worried. Hawrey said books could be easily accessed through interli-brary loan. The loan system has contrib-uted to a decrease in a need to have as many books in-house.

North Shore Public Library prepares for vote

Under the spending plan, an average resident in the Rocky Point and Shore-ham-Wading River school districts will pay an additional $3 annually.

Incumbent library Board of Trustees President Bill Schiavo is running unop-posed for his third five-year term. In a phone interview, the retired high school English teacher and Stony Brook Univer-sity professor said he has always been a book and library lover.

Schiavo said he and his fellow board members have worked to make sure tax-payers are getting some bang for their buck

“Any increase we have, however mini-mal, is designed to go [toward] new pro-grams,” he said.

Schiavo said he first ran with the goal of creating an annex library in the Rocky Point area, as the community needs more meeting spaces for residents. While this hasn’t come to fruition just yet due to financial constraints, Schiavo said the whole board is well aware of the need and will continue to look for space.

consequences for breaking the rules, which have been consistent year after year. Higuera said she was not present at the performance but was advised of the ad-libbed line.

“This current ad-libbing situation is simply an issue of rules and conse-quences and not about me as the super-intendent,” Higuera stated in the letter.

According to Higuera’s letter, the district will continue to discuss the “one-person at a time” bathroom policy.

About 50 people rallied at the press conference. They marched and held signs in support of the senior.

“What do we want? Free speech!” the crowd shouted as they marched up to the district office.

The family is suing for monetary damages but has yet to decide on an amount, according to Ray.

“I was the only one who ad-libbed about the superintendent, but my com-ments were not with any mal-intent,” Vetrano said. “They didn’t call her out by name and they were part of a skit that was completely satirical and come-dic in nature.”

the past couple of years had been so hard for us.”

Bové said she never dreamt of the re-sponse she got to her post. Soon com-munity members sought to replace the $1,000. Roseann Sobczak and Mary Heely, neither of whom Bové had met, put out the call on Facebook to get the money back.

“I was devastated for them,” Heely of Rocky Point said. “I thought to my-self I wish I had a $1,000 to give them and then thought, what if everyone could donate a little and maybe then we could recoup the loss.”

Sound Beach’s Kristen Abbondon-delo jumped at the idea. She decorated a box in Mickey Mouse paper and sat in the gymnastics center for six hours while donations from people that had seen the Facebook post trickled in.

Abbondondelo estimated that at least 50 people dropped off money that day and still more donated the next day when the box was posted at another lo-

cation in Rocky Point. “They were all there to right a wrong

and to show how much they cared,” she said. “People were concerned about there not being enough.”

Bové said her family was able to re-coup the loss and the trip is on for May. She said she was greatly touched by the messages included with the donations. One child drew a picture of Cinder-ella’s castle and told the family to have fun. Another note was decorated with rainbows and hearts. One said how grateful they were to be part of the Rocky Point community. Yet another included the message that “miracles do happen.”

“It put pure happiness in my heart that my community did this for me,” Bové said. “It regained my faith that there are so many who are good.”

Bové said she credits her angels in heaven — her brother, nephew and fa-ther — and the ones on Earth for the happy ending.

“I feel my angels pulled through for me,” she said. “That the whole commu-nity pulled through for us, it is some-thing we will never forget.”

OBITUARIES

Paul StavrolakesPaul Anthony Stavrolakes, known

as “Dr. Paul,” 86, of Miller Place and Port Jefferson, passed peacefully on March 20. Born Aug. 8, 1928, in New York City, Paul grew up on the Upper West Side. His parents were Kyriakos and Georgia Stavrolakes of Greece and New York City.

Paul attended Princeton University and became a pediatrician. He moved to Port Jefferson in 1964, starting his practice in his Harbor Hills Drive res-idence. He then partnered to develop a medical complex, where, until his retirement in 1991, he became one of the most sought-after pediatricians. Paul also served as the chief of pedi-atrics at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson.

His seemingly unending list of in-terests included gardening, carpentry, camping, playing guitar, singing and being the perfect host; he was an avid skier, tennis player and sailor.

As a member of the parish council of the Greek Orthodox Church of the

Dominick DeBariDominick William DeBari died

on March 23. He was born on Nov. 1, 1929, to Lawrence and Sophia DeBari, who owned and maintained a neigh-borhood restaurant and bar in Rocky Point called DeBari’s Pavilion.

In 1950, Dominick married Eileen Calace and started his own business, Sav-On Fuel in Rocky Point.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Virginia Tastrom, in 2003. He is survived by his loving wife, Ei-leen; daughter Teresa Ward; and sons-in-law, Kevin Ward and Gil Tastrom. Dominick had six grandchildren: Tra-vis, Parker and Mitchell Tastrom; and Jesse, Nicole and Samantha Ward; and two great-grandchildren, Colten and Isabella.

A funeral mass will be held on April 11 at 10 a.m. at St. Louis de Montfort R.C. Church in Sound Beach, followed by a ceremony and remembrance at Sea Basin Restau-rant in Rocky Point. Anyone who knew Dominick is welcome to come.

Assumption in Port Jefferson Station, he helped found the new church and the Niki Stavrolakes Library.

Paul was married to Vicky Pap-son from 1963-73, his late wife Niki Scoufopoulos from 1973-86 and Jean Christ from 1991 until his death.

He is survived by Jean; his chil-dren, Kimberly, Georgiana, Kyria-kos and Dora; four stepchildren, George, Greg, David and Laura; and 15 grandchildren.

Services were held at O.B. Da-vis Funeral Home in Port Jefferson Station, followed by services at the Greek Orthodox Church of the As-sumption. Memorial donations are being accepted at the church or at Good Shepherd Hospice.

Memorial service: Rev. Robert CaponA memorial service for the Rev. Rob-

ert Farrar Capon (1925-2013) will be held on April 11, at 4 p.m., in St. Luke’s Chapel at Camp DeWolfe, 408 North Side Road, Wading River.

Father Capon, who resided on Shelter Island at the time of his death, was the dean of the George Mercer Jr. Memorial School of Theology in Garden City for many years and the longtime rector of Christ Church Episcopal in Port Jefferson.

Father Capon also served at All Souls’ Episcopal Church in Stony Brook, Little Portion Friary in Mount Sinai, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton and, most recently, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Greenport.

A best-selling author of books on theol-ogy and cooking, he was also a food colum-nist for Newsday and The New York Times.

On March 26, Brookhaven Town Coun-cilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden), Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) and Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) visited Scotsman’s Auto Body in Mount Sinai to thank the company and the Long Island Auto Body Repairmen’s Association for helping to refurbish a mobility van to benefit United Cerebral Palsy of Suffolk.

The van was donated by the Little Sisters of the Poor in Philadelphia, an organiza-tion that cares for homeless seniors who are terminally ill. Little Sisters also agreed to donate five electronic wheelchairs to UCP of Suffolk and VFW Post 4927 in Centereach.

“What a wonderful ‘pay it forward’ ini-tiative,” LaValle said. “I was so impressed with the multiple charitable organizations working together to set up this event.”

Elected officials thank those who ‘pay it forward’

for UCP of Suffolk

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

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.

Stinson Lite

By Desirée Keegan

The Mount Sinai boys’ lacrosse team is hoping its proficient experience will pave the way for the Mustangs to race off to a successful season.

With a team full of seniors, Mount Si-nai head coach Harold Drumm said his players are comfortable and playing more relaxed this year.

“By doing that, I think they’re starting

to get a sense of the ability that the over-all team has and I think if we continue to work hard and play physical with the la-crosse ability we have, I think we’ll do re-ally well,” Drumm said.

Mount Sinai started off the season with a 6-5 loss to Comsewogue and bounced back with a 12-7 win over Bayport-Blue Point before falling to Miller Place, 11-3, prior to entering Tuesday morning’s game against Shoreham-Wading River.

Although the Mustangs raced ahead to an early lead, the Wildcats battled back to close within one goal twice but ultimately couldn’t level the score as Mount Sinai walked off the field with a 6-5 victory.

“This is a great win for our program,”

Drumm said. “We beat Shoreham one time in the last 11 years I think, so it’s a great win for us.”

After Mount Sinai shot off three goals in the first quarter, Shoreham-Wading River junior Jason Curran put the Wildcats on the board with 2:48 left to play in the sec-ond quarter, to bring the score to 3-1.

Coming out of the halftime break, Shoreham-Wading River went into the huddle shouting “Takeover on 3. 1… 2… 3… Takeover!” And the team tried to do just that.

With 10:32 remaining in the third, Shoreham senior Ryan Bray found the back of the net to make it a one-goal game.

Three minutes later, Mount Sinai se-nior Dan Bullis saw a Shoreham-Wading River defender slide away from the crease and snuck in front of the net, and lobbed the ball in past the goalkeeper for a 4-2 advantage.

Bullis followed up his goal with two assists as he first passed the ball to senior Dan Keenan on the left side of the cage, who whipped it in and then dished the ball to junior R.J. Voos with 9:50 left to play for a 6-2 advantage.

“We played pretty good, it was a quality game,” said Mount Sinai senior goalkeeper Charlie Faughnan, who made seven big saves. “I just wanted to stop the ball. I don’t really think about it and just make the saves. I felt good [between the pipes] and the defense played [well].”

Shoreham-Wading River sophomore Chris Gray scored the next two goals to pull his team within two points, and Bray

added his second goal of the morning with 52.6 seconds left to play to make it a one-goal game for the second time.

“We turned the ball over to them four or five times in the last 10 minutes very un-necessarily, and against teams like Shore-ham, it could have very easily come back and the next thing you know we lose the game by a goal,” Drumm said. “So we have to learn from all of those mental mistakes.”

Junior Shane Walker’s multiple wins in a row at face-off kept the team in the game.

“The beginning of the game was a little rough,” Walker said. “I was a little slow, but toward the end of the game I had some big wins that helped get us the ‘W.’ I think our offense is shooting well. A few of the shots were over the pipes so I think we need to show lower a couple times, but overall it was a good game.”

Bray and Gray finished with two goals and an assist each for Shoreham-Wading River, while Curran finished with a goal and an assist. Senior goalkeeper Bobby Puckey made nine saves in the game.

For the Wildcats, Bullis scored a game-high four points off one goal and three as-sists, Keenan added a hat trick, senior Zack Rudolf tacked on a goal and senior Tony DiMonte rounded out the scoring with an assist, as Mount Sinai improved to 2-2 in League III. The Mustangs handed the Wildcats their first loss of the season, as Shoreham-Wading River dropped to 2-1.

“I want to look at the season game by game, and just try to play comfortable and play hard,” Drumm said. “We want to keep going and keep winning.”
