DIX HILLS

The ShowWill Go OnTempers flared and buildings

remained dark for nearly twoweeks at Five Towns College, butwith power restored on Fridaynight, life is returning to normal.Provost Roger Sherman and Dix

Hills Performing Arts Center(DHPAC) Executive DirectorSandy Hinden did not to holdtheir tongues in expressing theiranger with LIPA before being re-powered.“I think LIPA is in the midst of a

meltdown in terms of their man-agement,” Hinden said. “Theymust be totally overwhelmed bywhat’s happening.”While Superstorm Sandy on

Oct. 29 and the subsequentnor’easter on Nov. 7 dealt only verylimited damage to the college’sbuildings, Sandy did sever a pow-er line to the main building. Withno electricity, Sherman said all ofthe cafeteria’s food was tossed,classrooms grew cold and 1,000students missed 11 days of class.What made it worse, both ad-

ministrators said, was the lack ofcommunication with LIPA.Hinden made phone calls to

Governor Andrew Cuomo, Con-gressman Steve Israel, SuffolkCounty Executive Steve Bellone,State Senator John Flanagan,County Legislator Steve Stern andTown Supervisor Frank Petroneafter many failed attempts to reachthe utility directly. Hours beforethe power was restored Friday,Cuomo’s office contacted LIPA on

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

Leaders: LIPA ‘Didn’t Have Act Together’Ranging from village trustees to the

head of Suffolk County, municipalitiesthroughout the Town of Huntingtonhave staunchly criticized LIPA for poorcommunication and management inthe wake of Superstorm Sandy.

“We all know this was a bad storm,but there’s just something not rightwith the way LIPA responds and com-

municates with elected officials whocan’t communicate with their resi-dents,” Huntington Bay Mayor HerbMorrow said last week.Over in the Village of Northport, May-

or George Doll and Trustee Damon Mc-Mullen griped that it was nigh impossi-ble to even contact LIPA. Twice dailyconference calls with the utility includedmunicipalities across Long Island andNew York City, McMullen said, and of-fered little helpful information.

“They kept saying, ‘Our plan is to dothis.’ One of the gentlemen we were onthe phone with said, ‘It’s time for a dif-ferent plan; you need to adjust,’” thetrustee recalled.Northport officials said when they

tried to contact LIPA on their own,whether it was calling on behalf of con-stituents or finding out for just howlong crews would stay in town, they gotnowhere fast.



DIX HILLS/MELVILLE

All Eyes On The PowerlessResidents’ concerns turn to elderly, others without electricity

Since Hurricane Sandy hit Long Islandon Oct. 29, the Half Hollow Hills com-munity has pulled it together in ways res-idents said the utility companies couldnot.Throughout Dix Hills and Melville,

residents have shared stories of loss anddevastation, but in the midst of thetragedy they have inadvertently becomethe subjects of a different kind of story –about the power of community.The Dix Hills area was in the dark for

a considerable amount of time, withsome residents enduring up to 12 days ofpower outages.Robert Wilk, 82, and his wife, Dolores,

79, were two such residents, who spentnearly two weeks without power, heat orother utilities. The couple’s home wasdamaged as a result of the hurricanewhen a tree put a gaping hole in theirroof. Another felled tree totaled a newlypurchased automobile. Due to a handicap, Dolores was unable

to leave the house, leaving the couple

confined to their Swarthmore Lane prop-erty. Robert said that without electricity,the couple was unable to prepare mealsfor themselves, and without an accessiblecar, they had no means of accessing out-

side resources. But thanks to the warm hearts of neigh-

bors and several parishioners at St.Matthew’s Church in Dix Hills, the couple

Neighbors came together as the Half Hollow Hills community was still reeling from the dam-age of Superstorm Sandy last week, like that sustained by this house on Foothill Court.

With almost all certainty, Town Attor-ney John Leowill be turning in his seat onthe TownHall dais for a spot on the benchas a judge in the 10th District of the StateSupreme Court come January 2013.According to unofficial results, with

439,190 votes to his credit, Leo is com-fortably in second place in the 12-waycontest, trailing only Richard Ambro byabout 1,000 votes. Six spots on the benchare up for grabs. Leo leads sixth-placecandidate Leonard Steinman, a memberof Nassau County’s financial controlboard, by a little more than 17,000 votes,according to the snap returns.At the end of the Huntington Town

Board meeting on Nov. 7, SupervisorFrank Petrone congratulated Leo on hisElection Day success.“I’m very much humbled by the trust

and the support that people have put inme to decide cases that are very impor-tant to each individual and entity,” Jus-tice-elect Leo said.Leo credits his success in the race to

hard work, a strong presidential electionyear turnout for Democrats and primereal estate on the ballot.“Having that first position was very

helpful,” said Leo, whose name was di-rectly next to the Obama/Biden ticket onthe Democratic line.He said that position likely helped him

in Democratic strongholds like NorthHempstead and Great Neck, where he

might not enjoy tremendous name fa-miliarity but there is strong support forDemocrats.Paired with directed mailings, adver-

tising in local papers, lots of hard workand a flurry of road signs in the last twoweeks, the Leo campaign built a com-fortable margin to ensure victory.On Election Night, Leo said the initial

numbers “weren’t that great,” but his ex-perience in past campaigns helped himstay calm. The numbers were coming infrom the East End, and as long as hestayed close there, he said, Western Suf-folk, including Huntington, Babylon andparts of Islip, would carry him to victory.It’s a forecast that came true, especially inHuntington, where he led the field.“As we migrated west, the numbers got

better and better and better,” he said.As long as the results hold true, Leo

will be headed off to “Judge School” inWhite Plains from Jan. 2-4 before beingsworn in for a 14-year term.“They tell you about procedures of the

courts, some do’s and don’ts and give yousome evidence seminars, things like thatthat,” he said.And with his win came a bit of nation-

al exposure. When FOX News host SeanHannity, a former LloydHarbor resident,Tweeted an image of his ballot, there’sJohn Leo’s name, dead smack in the mid-dle of the picture – something the judge-elect got a kick out of.“He didn’t put the whole ballot in, but

he put the part in where you could seemyname,” Leo said.

Memorial Garden To Honor ResidentTwo years after his death, Vinnie

Candurra, who worked tirelessly forthe Dix Hills Water District for morethan two decades, will be honoredwith a memorial garden at their dis-trict office.The town voted unanimously Nov. 7

to clear the way for a memorial gardenaround the flagpole at the Dix HillsWater District office on CaledoniaRoad.“We felt that we wanted to honor

him because he felt so strongly aboutthe water district,” Vinnie’s wife,Colleen, said. “Vinnie loved his job so

much and he loved everybody heworked with.”Candurra died in 2010 after 21

years with the Water District. Hestarted with the Dix Hills Water Dis-trict in 1986, retiring in 2007 as a sen-ior water treatment plant operator.“He was just a really great guy, and

he was instrumental with the CitizensAdvisory Committee,” said Council-woman Susan Berland, the sponsor ofthe resolution allowing the memorialgarden to be built. “He worked withme from the start on getting the prop-erty and designing the [new] tank [onDeer Park Avenue.]”Fittingly, the design is to incorpo-

rate flowing water through a waterfall,

and the garden will be planted aroundthat central feature, Colleen said. Thegarden is expected to also include abench.“He was very dedicated and spent a

lot of his time in his life there,” his wifesaid. “We wanted to do something [in-corporating water] because he his fa-mous saying was ‘water is my life.’”His love for water extended into his

personal life, Colleen said, throughhis passion for boating and thewilderness.“We loved nature,” she explained.

“We used to hike a lot. In AlleghanyState Park, there were streams and heused to walk the dog in the stream. Heloved water in every way.

HUNTINGTON STATION

Home Depot Worker Arrested In Pipe Bomb ScareDeer Park man allegedly tried to extort $2 million from company with Black Friday threat

An employee of the Home Depot in Deer Park hasbeen arrested in connection with the pipe bomb and ex-tortion note found in the chain’s Huntington Stationstore last month.FBI agents charged Daniel Sheehan, 50, of Deer Park,

with attempted extortion and use of an explosive deviceon Nov. 8. If convicted, he would face life in prison witha minimum of 30 years.On Oct. 15, the Huntington Station store received an

anonymous letter saying there was a bomb in the storeand demanding $2 million to prevent bombs on BlackFriday. Suffolk County police, Nassau County police andthe FBI investigated, resulting in Sheehan’s arrest lateWednesday. Hemade his initial court appearance beforeMagistrate Judge Gary R. Brown at the federal court-house in Central Islip on Thursday afternoon.“I commend all of the dedicated prosecutors, police

officers, and agents who worked tirelessly on this inves-tigation to make certain our citizens were safe and thatthe alleged perpetrator of this despicable scheme wasapprehended,” Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spotasaid.According to the complaint, the Oct. 15 letter claimed

there was a bomb in a box in the lighting department.The bomb, the author said, was not rigged to go off butprovided proof what they were capable of. The authorthreatened to detonate three functioning bombs inthree different Home Depots on Black Friday.

The author described the new bombs as 2.5 inch by 6inch pipes with a pound of roofing nails attached toeach. They would be triggered via Trac Fone.Police responded to the store, finding the bomb. FBI

agents later said it proved the bombmaker had some ex-pertise in creating explosive devices.The letter also promised a call on Oct. 17 for their an-

swer. When the anonymous call came in that afternoon,the caller demanded $2 million by Oct. 26.The store also received a second letter on Oct. 26, low-

ering the demand to $1 million and establishing a mon-ey drop for Oct. 26. The author promised to arrive inperson for the money, but would be wearing explosivesarmed with a dead-man switch.But when that day arrived, the store received a call

from the anonymous assailant angry about a visible lawenforcement presence. They promised to send anotherletter with additional instructions.Prosecutors claim the first call was made near Shee-

han’s place of work and the second call near PulaskiRoad and Chimay Court in Huntington Station.Sheehan was found near Home Depot in Commack

on Nov. 7, when he was stopped by law enforcement of-ficers. The Trac Fone used in the previous calls was dis-covered in his possession. He later admitted to trying toextort money from the business, prosecutors said.“As alleged in the criminal complaint, Sheehan put

lives at risk and tried to hold the people of Long Islandhostage to his extortionate demands. He tried to nego-tiate with Home Depot but failed to factor in the relent-less determination of the dedicated law enforcement

team that worked around the clock to foil his plot. Thereis no bargaining to be had with human life, and the on-ly payout Sheehan will receive will be the full measure ofjustice for his actions. Sheehan’s arrest sends an un-equivocal message that those who plot against our econ-omy and the people of Long Island will be brought tojustice,” U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said.A law enforcement source familiar with the situation

said Sheehan was believed to have been working alone.A spokesman for Home Depot declined to comment

on Sheehan’s status as an employee, only emphasizingtheir commitment to safety.“We’re truly grateful for the outstanding efforts of lo-

cal and federal law enforcements to ensure the safety ofour customers and associates,” Stephen Holmes said.

The employee accused of threatening to bomb the Hunting-ton Station Home Depot has been arrested.

Keep seeing, keep saying… I just want to sayhow gratified I am to the people who picked up thephone and told us what was going on in theirneighborhoods after Hurri-cane Sandy. Thank you fortrusting ol’ Aunt Rosie in thistime of great need. Eventhough it’s now 18 days out after landfall, it’s notnearly time for us to call it day. I don’t know aboutyou, but I’m going to keep on this until every lastHuntingtonian’s lights are back on and everybody’snice and warm again. So keep the tips coming inand we’ll do what we can to get word out to theright people. And should you hear about a benefitfrom a reputable organization to support the vic-tims of the superstorm, send it my way.

I say ‘reputable’ because… I want you to bewell aware that although tragedy brings out thekindest impulses in people, it also brings the dread-ful shylocks out of their caves to prey on the impres-sionable, charitable public. Don’t let them. To para-phrase what Mr. Christie said a few weeks ago – if itsounds stupid, it probably is stupid. If you hear ofany post-Sandy scams in the coming weeks, tell meabout them, too. Be eager to ask questions andmake sure every dollar gets to where it belongs –helping the hardest-hit families up and down thecoast. And I will cheerfully put the hucksters andthe heartless scam artists, as the kids say, “on blast”should you catch any in the act. It might be a goodtime to bring back the stocks, if you ask me…

Don’t forget to thank a vet… Amidst all thisSandy madness is one of our most treasured obser-vances in this country. Monday was Veteran’s Day,which, evolved from its roots as Armistice Day fol-lowing World War I, has grown into an importancerecognition of all those who served our country inthe Armed Forces. While some of the traditionalobservances might have been canceled because ofthe aftermath of the super storm, the message re-mains crucial, and the opportunity to give thanks istimeless. Next time you see a veteran, say “thankyou.” It doesn’t matter if it’s the 11th hour of the 11th

day of the 11th month – it makes those who foughtso hard for us feel good all year round. After all,these are the men who have fought for a cherished

right on Long Island – theright to tell LIPA’s manage-ment where to stick theirutility poles.

Some holiday cheer…It’s that time again, and not a moment too soon, tobe honest. The Town of Huntington will once againprovide its annual parking fee holiday in Hunting-ton village. From Nov. 22 through New Year’s Eve,parking will be free in Huntington village. The ideais to support small businesses in town by making iteasier for customers to stop and support their fa-vorite downtown shops. And the town board alsogave the OK for Huntington village, HuntingtonStation and East Northport business associations togussy up their downtowns with holiday lights anddecorations. After the beating we all took fromHuntington Sandy, we can use all the help – andholiday cheer – that we can get!

…To stuff, or not to stuff? A final note on im-pending holiday cheeriness – do you have yourturkey yet? Amidst all this madness, Thanksgiving isjust a week away on Nov. 22. And with any holiday,there is great debate on the best ways to cook the bigmeal. With that in mind – Do you cook your stuffingon the side, or stuff it into the bird and bake the twotogether? Another question – do you call it stuffingor dressing? Real cranberries, or cranberry sauce-in-a-can? And do you strain your gravy? Not to brag,but I started doing that before Martha Stewart madeit cool. And I could go on and on – little wonder whyhalf of Thanksgiving dinner is spent talking aboutThanksgiving dinner at my house.

Huntington Residents On The Front LinesWhile much of Huntington took a beat-

ing from Hurricane Sandy, most of thetown was spared the worst of the devasta-tion that ravaged Long Island’s SouthShore communities.But in the aftermath, Huntington resi-

dents have found themselves in the hard-est-hit areas, either to aid familymembers,carry out an in-demand profession, or sup-port neighbors in a dire time of need.Northport Village Trustee Tom Kehoe,

who grew up in Belle Harbor, Queens, justblocks from the ocean and Jamaica Bay,made it onto the Rockaway Peninsula atdaybreak Oct. 30 to get his mother, Aileen,daughter, Rebecca, and nephew, Brendan,out of the Rockaways.“We were concerned there was going to

be another tidal surge,” Tom said.Structurally, the Kehoe family’s home is

fine, Tom said, but the basement and firstfloor were badly flooded. Thirteen mem-bers of the family gathered Nov. 3 to cleanout the house, dispose of ruined appliancesand gut the basement.“When I got down there Tuesday… the

water had receded from the first floor, butthere was still plenty of water in the base-ment,” he said.The Kehoes were far from the worst off.

Oceanfront homes in the Rockaways werealmost uniformly destroyed.“It was almost beyond what you could

describe to people,” he said.Numerous fires also ravaged Belle Har-

bor, and one of the landmarks of the neigh-borhood, theHarbor Light Pub, so belovedit was known as the “Rocakway Cheers,”was among the casualties. Tom and theowner were lifeguards together, he re-called.Meanwhile, Jonathan Retzkin, an event

producer from Huntington, has made twotrips to Long Beachwith supplies. He was-n’t able to make any more because of thepost-storm gas shortage, he said, and hasbeen working with a friend of his in LongBeach to help relief efforts.“I have a lot of friends that live in Long

Beach. A lot of them live on the water, andare now homeless and living with friendsin other locations,” he said.Initially, when a strict curfew was in

place, hewould bring supplies toMassape-qua, where Long Beach residents, whocould re-enter the city, filled up a box truckand brought them into the ailing city.“The conditions are unreal. Indescrib-

able. It looks like a war zone,” the North-port trustee said.For Huntington Station’s John LaVertu,

the proprietor of Greenlawn’s E-Z Sewerand Drain Cesspool Services, a “randomcall” on Halloween from a homeowner inOceanside brought him to the SouthShore. That one call, however, launched afour-day marathon. From Wednesdaythrough Saturday, Nov. 3, LaVertupumped out flooded homes, an average ofeight to 10 a day.“Once we got down there and saw the

devastation, everybody kept coming up tous. We couldn’t leave,” he said. “We started

out in Oceanside, then went down to LongBeach. Long Beach was wrecked. It wassurreal… The high tide mark was halfwayup their garage doors… halfway up theirfront door. They lost everything.”Back home, his wife, Jennifer, put elec-

tricity to good use. Their Huntington Sta-tion home regained power relatively quick-ly after Sandy, and the LaVertus took inneighbors’ pets, especially cold-bloodedcritters that needed heat to survive. Theyhosted friends who were displaced by thestorm, stored perishables for neighborsand went door-to-door with candles. Shereached out to deaf families in the area andinvited them over to charge batteries fortheir children’s hearing aids. And she

cooked – a lot.“I did a lot of crock pots. I have a whole

bunch of them,” she said. “If someone hadsomething that was thawing, I said, ‘Give itto me! I can make something out of that.’”She also kept an eye on social media for

SOSmessages fromHuntington residents,and got word to Councilman Gene Cookthat residents on Pam Lane inHuntingtonwere trapped by downed trees.LaVertu attributed much of her reaction

– and that of similar people who steppedup to help after Sandy – to intuition.“There’s a natural instinct… Some peo-

ple, when things happen, that’s what youdo. They’re doers. We need doers, andthank God for the doers,” she said.

THE AFTERMATH OF SSAANNDDYY


Food Stores Bouncing BackLocal markets overcome ‘logistical nightmare’ to keep shelves full

Two weeks after historic HurricaneSandy rocked Long Island and the Townof Huntington, food markets in the areaare continuing to overcome some obsta-cles as they try to keep their shelves full.One of the biggest issues, said Tony

Femminella, Vice President of Store Op-erations for King Kullen, was a trans-portation system largely paralyzed bySandy.“It was a couple of days’ delay, as far as

supplies coming down, because of bridgesand tunnels being closed, but we broughtin so much ahead of time that we were ingood shape,” he said. “It was definitely alogistical nightmare, I have to tell youthat.”Shortly after the storm, milk, eggs,

bread, batteries, candles and flashlightswere the toughest to keep in stock, Fem-minella said, and dairy was an ongoingproblem.“All our milk comes from Jersey, so that

was a real issue for us,” he said.Chicken products were also a problem,

he explained, because much of the Mary-land area was hard-hit by the massivestorm.“They were hit pretty hard and they

closed the plants down a day or two. Justthat one-day in the interruption of supply

– you saw what happened with the gas –and we have a problem,” he said.At the height of the storm, Femminella

said 28 of the brands stores were withoutpower. The last of their stores were re-stored over the weekend, he said, andKing Kullen stores’ stock levels are backto about 95 percent, he said.In markets big and small, normalcy

seemed to be returning as the time passed.A&P, which operates Pathmark andWald-baum’s stores in this area, was “workinghard to re-stock our shelves as shipmentsbecome available” so they could continueproviding “customers with the qualitygoods and service they have come to ex-pect from our stores,” a spokeswoman saidFriday.Javier Tineo, owner of the Huntington

Station Food Plaza on New York Avenue,agreed that meat and produce, which hegets through the Bronx, Pennsylvania andNew Jersey, respectively, were delayed im-mediately after the storm. But he wasgrateful that his store survived the stormundamaged, and remained fully opera-tional throughout the worst of Sandythanks to a bit of foresight.“Whenwebuilt the store, we built it with

the backup generator, and it’s connected toHVAC system. Everything was runningperfectly,” he said. “It’s just a good idea.When we came into the Island, we alwaysheard about power outages for any little

thing, and we decided you know what?Let’s be safe than sorry. You lose more ifyou don’t invest.”David Intonato, owner of thePurpleEle-

phant Specialty Foods in Northport, andhis neighbors at Britannia Boatyard wereamong the so-called “nine percent” thatnever lost power at all after Sandy.“Around 6 a.m. Tuesday, I came around

that turn on Elwood Road – the whole vil-lage, 25A was out, but the light by Elwoodwas on,” Intonato, who lost power forabout a week at his Northport Villagehome, said. “I came here and we never lostpower. I could tell by the computers. It waspretty amazing.”Customers flocked to his store, and in

addition to stocking up on his organicproducts, they charged phones, used hisWiFi and cable during extended post-Sandy hours. During the first few days,eggs and dairy were “very difficult to get ahold of” since many of the store’s vendorsare based in hard-hit parts of New JerseyandNewYork, forcing thePurpleElephantto improvise. But hewasn’t affected by ear-ly chicken shortages, he said, because hesells mostly whole chickens and freshchicken breasts.The worst of the supply crunch was in

the first three or four days after Sandy, hesaid.“We couldn’t find fresh tuna for about a

week, but nowwe’re back on track,” he said.


EnoughGasToGetOver TheHillsSince Governor Andrew Cuomo’s

Nov. 9 implementation of a regionalodd/even gas rationing system, con-cerns over gas in the Half Hollow Hillsarea have quelled reasonably.At the Dix Hills Sunoco station at 765

Deer Park Ave., manager Kaz Tok saidthe rationing system has made the situ-ation at the pump “much better.” Be-cause of Superstorm Sandy, Tok said,the station lost power and gas supplyfor five days, and people were waitingin mile-long lines for over three hours.But since Nov. 9, Tok said customers

appear less frantic and are cooperatingunder the rationing system.In a Nov. 9 press briefing, Cuomo

said reports indicate that lines haveshortened on Long Island. However,the governor warned that the anxietysurrounding the situation may be asource of exacerbated panic over gaso-line.“More than anything what we have to

do is get buyers to relax, and I hopeshorter lines help people relax. [Thepanic is] creating its own problem to acertain extent, and the anxiety andpanic is creating more demand,” Cuo-mo said. ”If buyers relax, there will beless demand, and the situation will getbetter.”At the Sunoco station in neighboring

Melville, manager Cezmi Jasmine alsosaid operations and gasoline at his 114Broadhollow Road station have beenflowing smoothly since the odd/evenmandate. However, the manager said

that in 12 days the station has only re-ceived one and a half deliveries, as op-posed to having fuel imported everytwo days.Jasmine said his attendants were

pumping gas for eight hours straightwhen the shortage was at its peak, but

on Nov. 12 pumps were barren. Jasminesaid he was in no position to turn cus-tomers away who came to the pump onthe wrong designated day.Down at the 1010 Walt Whitman

Road Shell station, the manager, Gus,


At the Shell Gas Station at Walt Whitman Rd. in Melville on Nov. 12, the manager put up a“Gas Now Open” sign to attract customers since the fuel frenzy has slowed down.

No Power?Keep TheFuel Flowing

In the wake of a post-HurricaneSandy gas shortage, elected offi-cials across Long Island are push-ing for gas stations to have manda-tory backup energy sources.In Suffolk, Legislator Steve

Stern (D-Dix Hills) is backinglegislation that would require allgas stations with four or morepumping stations to have the in-frastructure they need to switchto an alternative power source ifpower goes out.“The issue for so many of the

service stations – if they broughtin a generator, they don’t have theswitch wiring in place to switch tothe alternative source,” Sternsaid.Those gas stations would be re-

quired to install the switch capa-bility, and have a generator readyto be brought in for when thepower goes out, Stern said.“So many of the service stations

had plenty of supply, and theydidn’t have power to access it,”Stern said.Around the same time, Nassau

County Legislator Dave Denen-berg (D-Merrick) introducedsimilar legislation, which wouldrequire all Nassau stations byJune 2013 to have a way to pumpfuel if the power went out.“That could be a manual over-

ride, it could be a generator or itcould be a battery,” he said.Both men urged state, federal

and county agencies to providetax breaks, incentives and grantsto support station owners. KevinBeyer, president of the Long Is-land Gasoline Retailers Associa-tion, said that financial aid is cru-cial, and that his organizationwould not support an “unfundedmandate” to buy generators.“A good-sized generator to

power the whole setup is going torun about $30,000 or more,”Beyer said. “People have to realizethis isn’t going to Home Depot,buying a generator out of the boxand starting it up.”Beyer called for gas station

owners and elected officials tocollaborate on a comprehensivesolution that addresses publicsafety and business concerns.Meanwhile, the Town of Hunt-

ington voted unanimously Nov. 7to urge New York State to requiregas stations across the state tohave generators. Increasing thenetwork of working stations aftera storm would alleviate the mam-moth gas lines, the confusion, ad-ditional traffic congestion and theaggravation it causes, they ar-gued.

School is finally back in session acrossthe Town of Huntington, although theremnants of Superstorm Sandy still poseserious issues.Most school districts re-opened to stu-

dents by Friday; Harborfields was the lonestraggler. They all closed on Monday forVeterans Day and were set to open for in-struction again on Tuesday.

“Our kids had a little skip to their step,like it was the first day of school,” SouthHuntington SuperintendentDave Bennar-do said last week.But Bennardo also admitted it was hard-

ly a typical school day. Crews were repair-ing up to 20 classrooms at Walt WhitmanHigh where the roof was damaged mid-storm, social workers were helping stu-dents cope with the disaster and blockedstreets forced bus routes to change, addingas much as 20 minutes to students’ rideshome.Classes in the Commack School District

were also held on Friday, although roadclosures forced changes to bus routes. Stu-dents along Cedrus Road, Metcale Lane,Kevin Lane, Fruitwood Drive and SewardDrive were directed to other intersections,or other streets entirely.In the Half HollowHills School District,

schools opened onNov. 7, but a power out-age at Hills East prompted an 11:30 a.m.dismissal. District spokeswoman ChrisGeed said last week’s nor’easter completelyknocked out power to Hills East and sixother school buildings, prompting the dis-trict to close last Thursday.“We have 11 school buildings. We just

didn’t see it beneficial to have classes infour and not in seven,” Geed said.But with all classes back in session more

than two weeks after Superstorm Sandyravaged the region on Oct. 29, administra-tors are faced with the troubling dilemmaof how to compensate for many misseddays of instruction.Half Hollow Hills was closed for eight

days, Geed said, and built just four emer-gency days into the school calendar. Hunt-ington spokesman JimHoops said the dis-trict was closed for nine unaccounted dayswith just two snow days built into theirschedule. And at South Huntington, theyhave just one snow day built into the cal-endar to help deal with the eight un-planned days off, before possibly reclaim-ing the day after Easter and a superinten-dent’s conference day before MemorialDay.Despite the need to recover school days,

every school district in the townwas closedon Monday for the holiday. According tostate law, no school may be in session onSaturdays or legal holidays, except ElectionDay, Washington’s birthday and Lincoln’sbirthday.“State law explicitly prohibits schools

from being in session on the majority offederal holidays, Veterans Day included,”Huntington Superintendent James Polan-sky wrote in a letter to parents on Friday.State law also requires New York dis-

tricts offer 180 days of instruction for stateaid purposes. Education CommissionerJohn King is permitted to excuse up to fivedays for extraordinary circumstances, butonly if they cannot bemade up through va-cation days before Regents exams in June.However, the State Legislature canmake

temporary changes to the requirements.For the 2011-2012 school year, they ex-tended the number of days King can ex-cuse to 10 in the wake of a disaster or de-clared emergency. Another such bill wasrecently filed for the 2012-2013 schoolyear.Meanwhile, local school districts can on-

ly wait to receive guidance from the stateon how to adjust their calendars.“There is no change of schedule yet, but

itwill happen. Therewill be adjustments tothe school calendar,” Geed said on Friday.

“It’s Nov. 9. We have a whole winter to getthrough.”Several school districts were also sched-

uled to host SATs on Nov. 3. Those testshave been rescheduled for Nov. 17. A Col-lege Board spokeswoman said they werenotworried about cheating as different testforms are already administered at differentsittings and different geographic locations.She added that many of the affected stu-dents chose theNov. 17makeupdate ratherthan their next standard weekend sittingon Dec. 1.

LIPA Call Center Reps OnStorm’s Front Line

DEAR EDITOR:It’s been a very long 10 days

for the 300 service representa-tives at LIPA’s Customer CallCenter in Melville. If everthere was an example of a 24/7team effort under very de-manding conditions, this issurely it.Working 16-hour days, everyday since Hurricane Sandystruck, these representativeshave answered over one millioncustomer calls. The commit-ment of these hard-workingmen and women to their cus-tomers and their fellow work-ers has been outstanding. It isa commitment that we takevery seriously and pride our-selves in this tradition.The call center in Melville isthe main contact point betweenthe public and LIPA. DuringHurricane Sandy, call volumehas spiked from the normal10,000 daily calls to as much as130,000 emergency calls. Asyou might imagine, customersliving without power for morethan a week have strong feel-ings and the experience for callcenter workers has been physi-cally and emotionally challeng-

ing. The call center workersknow that the service they helpto provide gives comfort andsecurity to the public and willnot stop until everyone’s serviceis restored.These reps are themselvesLong Islanders who truly feelthe pain of their neighbors.Many are moms, who for morethan a week have left their kidsfor all but a few hours daily,then rushed back to another16-hour shift. Like the callersthey help, these workers areLong Islanders and many havealso been without power andhave been flooded.The call center profession-als are part of the Interna-tional Brotherhood of Electri-cal Workers, Local 1049,whose members includeabout 3300 workers puttingin similarly long days on thestreet getting power back on.Whether our IBEW memberswork for National Grid inpower generation or gas oper-ations, directly for LIPA inthe call center or the trans-mission and distribution area,or for a shared organization,these professionals alwayspull together and coordinatetheir efforts to help in a timeof need.It’s true that every Long Is-lander has had to sacrifice be-cause of Hurricane Sandy. Butfew have given as much as thehard-working, dedicated elec-trical workers who are helpingto get power restored to theirneighbors.

The Nathan Hale Rock

DEAR EDITOR:Please allow me to set therecord straight concerning theNathan Hale Memorial Rock(“Memorial Rock Solid,” Oct.25, 2012, page A5). TheNathan Hale Memorial wasnever located behind theHalesite Fire Department. InSeptember, it was moved di-rectly from its location in themiddle of Mill Dam Road toits current location 50 feetaway on the south side of MillDam Road.While there had been aproposal to move the memo-rial to a location behind thefirehouse, it was decided tostay with the original plan tore-locate the rock to thesouth side of Mill Dam Road.Huntington’s mobile memo-rial originally came fromConnecticut courtesy of aglacier during the last iceage. Then in 1897, GeorgeTaylor hired Oscar Kissam tomove it to the beach onHuntington Bay at the end ofVineyard Road to mark thespot where Hale began hisspying mission in 1776. Itwas moved to the traffic is-land in front of the AmericanLegion building on Mill DamRoad in 1974. Taylor’s grand-son donated the memorial tothe Town of Huntington in1976. It remained at the MillDam traffic island until Sep-tember when it was moved toits current location on thesouthwest corner of MillDam Road and New York Av-enue.

Opinion‘Not the types set up by the printer return their impression, the meaning, the main concern.’

Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) hasfailed us.People have a right to have faith in theirutility company; yes, even in the wake of a100-year storm. Instead, when SuperstormSandy swept through and a snowy nor’east-er followed, LIPA let us down.Yes, the so-called superstorm was nearlyunprecedented, but so too was LIPA’s inabil-ity to deal with it. Of the utilities 1.1 millioncustomers, 1 million were without power af-ter the storm. Electric providers inneighboring states were similarlystruck. Yet none failed as miserablyas LIPA. A full two weeks after the stormstruck, there were still nearly 200,000with-out power. Aging infrastructure had failedand archaic systems for restoring powerweren’t up to the task.The utility was broadsided by the storm,while neighboring utilities reasonably wentabout recovering. Incredibly, a frustratedcounty executive took matters into his ownhands and ordered work crews to get pow-er turned on. While we hardly advocate mi-

cromanagement by government officials, inthis case it seemed to work.LIPA’s worst crime, however, is not beingunprepared – which they were – but theirlack of humanity. Customers growing firstweary, then angry, were unable to reach alive person on the phone. There simply wasno flow of reliable information to govern-ment officials or to the public. When LIPAdid provide information, it was with theworst hit areas subtracted out. That fallacy

wasn’t fixed until public offi-cials pressured the utility intoproviding accurate updates.

LIPA rightfully finds itself under a micro-scope, and when all is said and done, wehope that heads roll. That’s not out of asense of vindictiveness, but rather becausepresent management failed the public, andnew oversight is necessary.We remind LIPA that the public is com-prised of its customers – ratepayers whopay among the highest utility rates in thenation.Shame on you.

Shame, Shame, Shame, LIPA

Ideal Cheese Paints The TownYellowUnique downtown gourmet shop offers customers 60 varieties from around the world

Gourmet cheeses from around theworld have found a home in Huntington.Originally opened in New York City in

1954, Ideal Cheese made its way intoHuntington village in July 2012.Owner Chris Binetti, who previously

owned Hot Spot Tanning on NewStreet, said the village was the perfectlocation to open a satellite location forthe gourmet cheese shop. Ideal Cheeseshares a space with The Crushed Oliveat 278 Main St.“Huntington is like a mini Manhattan.

There’s a lot of walking traffic and it wasa good marriage between The CrushedOlive and Ideal Cheese. They sell olive oilsand vinegar, and we thought cheese couldcomplement that.We’ve had a positive re-sponse to the combination,” he said.Binetti and his father, Julius, run the

store together, and they carry an assort-ment of 60 different cheeses that are im-ported from around the country and theworld. Cheese is imported from Italy,France, Holland, and around the UnitedStates, and can come from either cow,goat or sheep’s milk.For Binetti, who said his nostrils have a

distaste for “stinky” cheese, going into thecheese business has been a learning expe-

rience. Binetti said cheese education is aprocess that involves research and sam-pling each cheese to get a feel for its tex-ture, flavor, taste, and region of origin.“I like working here. It’s fun to let our

customers try the different cheeses, andit’s interesting to see how they react,” Bi-netti said.All cheese purchased is cut fresh to or-

der. Customers can pick up anywherefrom a quarter pound of cheese to fivepounds.Binetti said his goal is to establish rela-

tionships with local restaurant owners sothat they can provide wholesale servicesto neighboring business. He said that Ide-al Cheese has already catered to severalrestaurants in the village.The shop owner also has plans to ex-

pand his menu. He plans to invest in apanini maker and design a unique (andmade to order) sandwich menu, which hehopes to launch early next year.Popular cheeses include the Italian

parmigiano reggiano cheese, Istara fromFrance, and truffle gouda imported fromHolland. Another customer favorite isthe fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese, saidBinetti.And with the holidays fast approach-

ing, there will be no shortage of gift bas-kets available for purchase, making forone time when a cheesy gift is acceptable.

Cheese monger Mike Roselle, and store owner Christopher Binetti are happy to cut yourcheese.

LupinacciWins Big In 10th ADHuntington Republicans secured anemotional victory in the 10th AssemblyDistrict Nov. 6 as voters handily electedChad Lupinacci to succeed the late JimConte in Albany.“During the last few weeks, we’vegone through a lot,” Lupinacci said atCenterport’s Jellyfish Restaurant, thesite of the town GOP victory party. “Iknow it’s been very hard for us, but wecame together as a community and we

celebrated all the good he’s done for ourstate and the Town of Huntington.”Lupinacci earned 55.59 percent ofthe vote, or 24,502 ballots, to defeatDemocratic challenger Joe Dujmic,who received 19,554 votes, good for44.36-percent of the electorate.“There are some obstacles we’ve haveto overcome in the campaign, but wedid it,” Huntington GOP chair Toni Te-pe said. “Tonight, ladies and gentle-men, you have a winner in the 10th As-sembly district, and Jimmy Conte, thisone is for you!”

Conte died at age 53 on Oct. 16 afterbattling T-cell lymphoma and servingin the Assembly for 24 years.When he goes to Albany this January,Lupinacci will join the longtime Hunt-ington Republican delegation, as As-semblyman Andrew Raia and StateSenators John Flanagan and Carl Mar-cellino were both re-elected by widemargins.While disappointed by his defeat,Dujmic said he was optimistic about hiscontinued opportunity to be a force ofgood in the Huntington community.

“I’m a family court attorney, and I en-joy helping children. I want to continueto be a go-to [person] for people whohave difficulty reaching out to electedofficials in office,” he said. “We’re neigh-bors, and we’re supposed to work to-gether for each other.Lupinacci thanked his supportersand a large family network for theirsupport during the campaign, and saidit wouldn’t have been possible withoutthem. And he thanked Conte, who hesaid “taught me everything I know”about elected office, and pledged to dohis best to continue his legacy.Raia, who will become the seniormember of the Huntington Assemblydelegation in January, praised Lupinac-ci’s tireless work ethic in the campaign.“Jimmy is looking down from above,and smiling, and saying, ‘Thank God,Chad – you didn’t screw it up,” Raiaquipped. “And you didn’t. Our minorityleader, Brian Kolb, called us this morn-ing and said, ‘where is he?’ I said, freez-ing at Cold Spring Harbor train sta-tion… You did everything we could everask of a candidate – and then some…we are going to do well. He is going todo outstanding.”While the state results for Hunting-ton Republicans were especially strongTuesday night, Democrats enjoyedmany successes nationally, gainingseats in the U.S. Senate and re-electingPresident Barack Obama.Democrats at the Islandia Marriottrejoiced over the news of PresidentObama’s re-election, cheering wildlyand toasting in celebration. In SuffolkCounty, Obama and Vice President JoeBiden won 50.75 percent, or 274,830votes, over Mitt Romney and PaulRyan.Congressman Steve Israel (D-Hunt-ington) was amongst the winners, car-rying 114,053 votes and a 56.17 marginin the new 3rd Congressional District.His opponent, Stephen Labate, gar-nered 87,745 votes, or 43.22 percent.Israel said he is honored by his elec-tion in the Third District and is lookingforward to bipartisan cooperation inCongress to boost the middle class. Hesaid he was particularly touched by thesupport following Hurricane Sandy.“It’s been a very tough week in ourcommunity and I know the election wasthe last thing on most people’s minds.But I think it really shows how strongour community is,” he said. “People did-n’t have power, they didn’t know whereto vote, they didn’t have gas to get to thepolls, but they still got out and exer-cised their civic duty,” Israel said. “I’mjust so proud of the way our communi-ty has weathered this storm and I amhumbled to represent them in Con-gress.”U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand washandily re-elected for a new six-yearterm in Washington D.C.

Main Catch Hooks Celebrity-Savvy ManagerAndy Kormendi shares memorable moments serving rich and famous

Budapest-born Andy Kormendi bringsover 34 years of fine-dining expertise tothe Main Catch in Commack. Along withhis impressive resume of managerial ex-perience, he brings to the table an array ofanecdotal encounters with hundreds ofcelebrities and politicians, from Benji thedog to Billy Joel to Jacqueline Onassis.Kormendi came to the United States in

1972 at the age of 19, and started his ca-reer as a stock boy in a warehouse.“I remember being just a stock boy lis-

tening to 8-track tapes. I couldn’t dreamwhere I’d end up,” he said.His career in fine dining took off at the

Brasserie restaurant in 1974, a 24-hourrestaurant where he served as a waiter fortwo years. From there, Kormendi gradu-ated to Maxwell’s Plum in Manhattan, aneclectic restaurant that attracted the likesofmany celebrities, includingMiss Amer-ica and Miss Universe.Kormendi remembers seeing two beau-

tiful, classy women seated, and he was in-structed to serve them. When one of theguests left the table to use the restroom,Kormendi was summoned by her friend.“Do you knowwho that is?,” the woman

asked. “That’s Miss America.”Kormendi said he was in shock, and

when thewoman returned he approachedher and introduced himself.“I understand you are Miss America,”

he said, to which the woman replied, “Yes,and my friend is Miss Universe!”

The pair then invited Kormendi to jointhem for a movie after their meal, howev-er a working man, he respectfully de-clined their invitation.1970s sex symbol Tom Jones also visit-

ed Maxwell’s Plum and, according to Ko-rmendi, tried to pick up a “working girl.”The working girl refused his advances,calling him “cheap,” Kormendi recalled.Kormendi said he servedmany animals

during his time as a waiter, but mostmemorable was when he served Benji theDog.“He literally sat on a chair with two

paws up, and was served a sirloin steak.His owner literally cut it up and fed thedog with a fork. It was a four-star restau-rant, and people were lining up to get thisdog’s autograph,” Kormendi said with alaugh.In 1979 Kormendi met former No.1

U.S. tennis player Jimmy Connors whenhe walked intoMaxwell’s Plum. Kormen-di said that a co-worker asked Connorsabout his feelings toward rival tennisplayer John McEnroe, to which Connorsresponded “As long as I liveMcEnroe willnever be No. 1.” But one month later,McEnroe was the No.1 player in thecountry.After his stint at Maxwell’s Plum, Kor-

mendi began his employment at the no-torious Russian Tea Room in Manhattan.There he had his most memorable star-struck moment, when he encounteredJacqueline Onassis.“I remember she came to the restau-

rant, and we didn’t have a table ready for

her. She came upstairs to where I wasworking and asked if was alright if shetook a seat up there. It was absolutelyoverwhelming for me to carry a conversa-tion with her,” he said.At the Russian Tea Room in the 1990s,

Kormendi remembers when baseballplayer Keith Hernandez, a frequent pa-tron of the Russian Tea Room, found outhe was traded by the Mets.“A co-worker asked Hernandez how he

felt about being traded by the Mets—atthe time he didn’t know, because it hap-pened that day, and that’s how he foundout,” Kormendi said.Prior to coming into her own, Madon-

na worked alongside Kormendi at theRussian Tea Room as a coat-check girl.According to Kormendi, the starlet hadno time to date anybody as she was fo-cused on her singing career. Madonna re-turned to the dining venue two years afterleaving her job simply to say hi to her for-mer colleagues, and Kormendui said hecouldn’t believe he was in the presence ofthe same young lady who had not longago been checking coats.Kormendi had many positive interac-

tions with the celebrities who visited thevarious restaurants where he establishedhimself, however he admits some wereless pleasant than others, includingDianaRoss, former U.S. President RichardNixon, and Peter Falk. Kormendi remem-bers a time whenWoody Allen demandedthat a recipe for his favorite chocolate andraspberry cake be changed back after thechefs hadmade adjustments to it, and the

restaurant willingly complied.Once his days at the Russian Tea Room

were over, Kormendi worked at Aureolefor three years, Windows of the World atthe World Trade Center for six months,and was manager at Louis XIV inPatchogue, where Kormendi met BillyJoel. Once Louis XIV shut down, Kor-mendi worked as a manager at PlacidoDomingo Restaurant on 49th Street, andthen became manager of Connolly’s Cor-ner in Queens.Kormendi has been the manager of

Main Catch since the restaurant openedin late August.

Sitting Too Long Is Bad For Your HealthWhether you have a desk job or other-wise sedentary lifestyle, prolonged peri-ods of sitting may be unavoidable foryou. Chances are you are sitting as youread this article.New research published in theArchives of Internal Medicine and otherjournals shows that sitting for longstretches can be detrimental to yourhealth, contributing to obesity, cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, cancer, andchronic kidney disease.“The best defense – the only defense –is to move more,” said Dr. Keith Over-land, president of the American Chiro-practic Association.The simple act of walking can help youget in shape and feel great. It’s easy,burns calories, reduces the risk of heartdisease, tones muscles and increases car-diovascular endurance. Walking as littleas 12 minutes a day can have a signifi-cant positive effect.To get the most from your walk, moveyour arms freely in coordination withthe opposite leg, walk “with purpose” tomaximize your cardiovascular workout,don’t stoop your head or look down asyou walk and don’t carry weights, asthey’re better used as a separate part ofyour exercise regimen.But aches and pains prevent many

people from even taking that first steptoward better health. Chiropracticphysicians – experts in treating musclesand joints – offer not only a drug-freeapproach to alleviating pain throughspinal adjustments and manipulation,they also promote overall health andwellness through nutritional counseling,rehabilitation and exercise and lifestylerecommendations. Search for a chiro-

practor in your area by using “Find aDoc,” the American Chiropractic Associ-ation’s online member database,www.acatoday.org/FindaDoc.“When you do sit, make sure to do itcorrectly so you don’t ruin your postureor strain your muscles, leading to painthat could inhibit you from getting theactivity you need,” Overland added.To prevent problems, keep your feet

on the floor or a footrest and don't crossyour legs. Your knees should be at or be-low the level of your hips. Adjust thebackrest of your chair to support yourlower- and mid-back or use a back sup-port, and avoid sitting in the same posi-tion for long periods of time.Include frequent micro-breaks intoyour sitting time, stretching your neck,arms, wrists, back, and legs. Simplestretches include neck rotations, fistclenches, arm dangles, and shouldershrugs.Most of all, don’t sit for too long.Stand up and stretch your legs with ashort walk about every 20 to 30minutes.Avoid working through lunch.Poor posture not only consumes moreenergy but also can lead to excessivestrain on your postural muscles and mayeven cause them to weaken when held incertain positions for long periods oftime. The postural muscles are prone toinjury and back pain, but maintaininggood posture, sitting properly and mov-ing regularly can help you stay pain-free.You can learn more healthy tips atwww.ChiroHealthy.com.While you may not be able to quit yourdesk job, you can prevail over inactivityand move yourself closer to betterhealth.

ster and creamy sherry bisque, tastefully presented witha tender lobster claw. Diners must try the Catch’s take onNew England clam chowder, a well-balanced, delicateversion of the classic dish, highlighted with generousportions of clam.The Newport Shrimp and Scallops ($23.95) are served

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

From Hidden Speakers To Home Theaters

Located in Huntington village, SoundInsight may sell televisions, stereos andother audio-visual equipment, but they’reanything but a local electronics store.In fact, owner Fred Kaplan makes

fresh popcorn so customers can sit in hishomemade theater and custom soundrooms to experience what it would be likein their homes. And when he’s not work-ing in customer’s homes, he’s keepingThe Paramount up and running.“I’m not geared to be a cash and carry

store. If you want to see the type of wholesystems that we do and experience all thevignettes we do here…” he said.Sound Insight carries a wide selection

of audio-visual equipment, ranging frommiddle-of-the-road to very high-end.That includes speakers by Paradigm, am-plifiers by Onkyo and Denon, and flatscreen televisions by LG, Sony and otherwell-known brands.But it’s what the Huntington store can

do with that equipment that makes themstand out. Using custom-designed furni-ture andmounts, Kaplan and his companycan add technology to a house in very un-

usual ways. They hide wall speakers be-hindwallpaper or paint, rigmirrors to slidein front of a television and create weather-proof boxes to house televisions outside.Kaplan also specializes in distributed

music systems. These systems are de-signed to play different music at differentvolumes in different parts of the house.“You can walk up to the wall in the

morning and without waking up yourwife, hit a panel and have music play justin the bathroom,” he said.Home automation – a main system to

control sub-systems like distributedmusicsystems and security cameras – is SoundInsight’s biggest seller. Customers can ac-cess everything through just a few panelsin their home, or even on the Internet. Ka-plan said a customer landing at JFK Air-port can use their cell phone to turn on theheat at home long before they arrive.Prices at Sound Insight vary widely, al-

though they tend to be higher than notdue to the lack of lower-quality gear.Speakers range from $400-$8,000, theowner said, while a home theater can runfrom $15,000-$250,000.But not only does Kaplan sell the tech-

nology necessary for these projects, he al-so plans and directs them. Employingthree full-time workers and three part-ners – professionals in cabinetry, wood-working and construction – they canconstruct anything from a home theaterto a complete basement renovation.“When someone builds a house and

they want a couple of cameras, music,everything but the vacuum system…” headded. “You don’t need to bring a phone

guy in. You don’t need to bring an alarmguy in.”It’s that expertise that recently earned

themwork with The Paramount. Theaterrepresentatives walked into Kaplan’sstore a few weeks back with an issue dur-ing one of their events.“I stopped what we were doing and

took care of them,” he said.Sound Insight did not handle the the-

ater’s initial build, nor do they handle theprofessional stage audio gear, but they dooversee the variousmonitors, cameras andother technology inside The Paramount.Graduating from NYIT with a degree

in Electro-Mechanical Computer Tech-nology in 1987, Kaplan found himselfworking for an alarm company in GreatNeck. Five years later, he became the in-stallation manger through the tri-statearea for a company licensed to use theSears brand name.He ventured into the security, camera

and phone business on his own in 1992.As the new millennium approached, headded stereos and flat screen televisionsto the mix.Come 2002 and in need of a retail

presence, he joined the Huntington Vil-lage Design Center along New York Av-enue. At the time, Kaplan joined Appli-ance World, a custom cabinet companyand a tile company.With one out of business and the other

moved away, Kaplan left ApplianceWorld for his own retail presence thissummer. He opened the doors to SoundInsight’s new home, a few blocks northon New York Avenue, on Aug. 20.

“After being in town for 10 years, wedecided to make an investment andmake a new showroom in the heart of thevillage,” he said.His new location is already returning

dividends, especially in the form of morespace and increased visibility.“It’s 8 p.m. and I have people walking in

on Friday and Saturday,” the owner said.Looking forward, Kaplan said he ex-

pects the business to grow even stronger,especially through home automation andDigital Analog Converters (DACs). DACsuncompress digital music files “to makeit sound like it did back then, not like itdoes on an iPod.”

HUNTINGTON STATION

Town Takes Step ToPurchase Armory

The town board has authorizedHuntington Supervisor FrankPetrone to apply to the state to ac-quire the State Armory in Hunting-ton Station.By authorizing the application to

New York State’s Office of GeneralServices, the town is taking the nextstep toward acquiring the 3.4-acreparcel on East Fifth Street in Hunt-ington Station.The town voted May 8 to buy the

Armory from the state – for the nom-inal fee of $1 to make it official – andsaid the surplus land would be usedfor parkland or possibly a community

center. Eight months earlier, in Sep-tember 2011, the Huntington Stationarmory closed and reserves weremoved into a $92-million, centralizedArmed Forces Reserve Center inFarmingdale. The Farmingdale facili-ty now hosts Army, Navy and MarineCorps reservists that were previouslyhoused in seven centers across LongIsland.Whatever the property is ultimate-

ly used for, the facility will bear thename of one of Huntington Station’sbeloved sons. Huntington’s townboard passed on Oct. 17 a resolutionthat would rename the Armory afterthe late Assemblyman Jim Conte, alongtime advocate for HuntingtonStation.


The town is now officially authorized to purchase the State Armory for $1.

“We would try to explain to people.They called LIPA too. We weren’t get-ting answers on the phone or via email,”McMullen said.He added that the village’s highwaycrews worked well with the tree-trim-ming crews when they arrived, and thatthe linemen did good work when theywere in Northport.“It’s very hard to understand why theywould come into an area and then leavewithout finishing the work,” McMullensaid.Most of Northport recovered electric-ity by Friday, but Morrow had previous-ly described Huntington Bay as “a lostvillage.” With power fully restored to hisvillage by Sunday, he did not back offhis strong opinions.“[LIPA] did not have its act together,”he said.Running into similar communicationissues as his Northport colleagues, Mor-row relied on Huntington Town Super-

visor Frank Petrone to reach LIPA afterthe storm. Petrone said he leaned on hisconnections in Governor Andrew Cuo-mo’s office to get information relayed,not shy at all to criticize LIPA manage-ment.Not only did the utility abandon plansfor their crews to work with municipalcrews before they started, the supervi-sor said, but they failed to effectively re-store power within the town.“There was a 10-day period where vir-tually very little was happening,”Petrone said.By Friday, Petrone joined members ofthe governor’s office and National Gridat County Executive Steve Bellone’s of-fice to complain about the 1,200 stillwithout power. Less than 850 Town ofHuntington residents were withoutpower on Monday afternoon.Suffolk County Legislator Steve Stern(D-Dix Hills) joined Bellone on Satur-day when the county executive an-nounced he was bypassing LIPA man-

agement and communicating directlywith substation staff directly.Unlike Morrow and McMullen, Sternsaid he had no problem reaching a per-son at LIPA. But instead, he found themuninformed and sometimes with differ-ent information than they previously of-fered.“I know that workers on the frontlines have been working very hard andalthough I’ve always had the opportuni-ty to communicate with LIPA adminis-tration, there was a disgraceful discon-nect between the administration andthe supervisors on the ground makingdeployment decisions,” Stern said.Asharoken Mayor Greg Letica wassatisfied with LIPA’s communication af-ter Sandy, while Lloyd Harbor MayorLeland Hairr did not return messagesfor comment. Letica said the utility pro-vided them with a phone number formunicipalities that connected themwith the regional manager.“I can only speak from my experience.They did OK with us, considering thecircumstances,” Letica said.Despite sharing a border, emergency

dispatchers and much more, Northportofficials said their northern neighborlucked out.“He got the right number, we didn’t,”McMullen said.And more than two weeks after Sandyravaged the region, local officials arestill calling for change within LIPA.Stern, who received power at his DixHills home late on Saturday, said thelegislature created a LIPA oversightcommittee in the wake of TropicalStorm Irene last year. They assembledexperts and held public meetings, butonly the state appoints LIPA manage-ment.“This is absolutely unacceptable andwe all appreciate how important it is forNew York State to implement meaning-ful changes going forward,” Stern said.Not only did Petrone support effortsto regulate LIPA more stringently, healso continued to push for undergroundwiring and upgraded infrastructure.“We spent good dollars on Irene andwe’re spending the same dollars again.Useless waste of taxpayers’ dollars,” thesupervisor said.

did not suffer in silence.Upon placing calls to several reliefagencies, the Wilks were put in contactwith Sister Kay McCarthy of St.Matthew’s. With the help of parishioners,including Fran Manos and KathrynMonaco-Douglas, the church was able tosupply the Wilks with warm meals anddelivered the couple six dinners within aweek and a half ’s time.“We’ll do whatever we can for whomev-er,” Sister McCarthy said.By coincidence, Dix Hills contractorLorenzo Piazza overheard Monaco-Dou-glas speaking with a friend about the holein theWilks’ roof. Given their condition—not to mention to pending nor’easter onNov. 7—Piazza took it upon himself to puta temporary tarp over the Wilks’ dam-aged roof and removed the trees blocking

the couple’s driveway.According to Sister McCarthy, mostcontractors require payment upfront;however, Piazza waived the initial fee andprovided his services without paymentupfront.“They were in need of assistance; it feltright. It’s normal to offer something goodto someone who needed it,” Piazza said.Neighbors of the Wilks supplied themwith hot coffee, and lent them a generatorfor two days.Electricity was restored to the Wilks’house on Nov. 10. Robert said he was as-tounded by the length of time his homewas ignored by utility companies, but wasthankful he and his wife were not leftalone.“It’s amazing how people came togeth-er on this; everyone was helping eachother. [A bunch of] little big things made

a difference – it was great,” Robert said.“But LIPA has a different agenda, and adifferent profit motivation, and they needto take another good look at this. It’s non-sense…I thought they would have had abetter system for people who are handi-capped. It’s one thing if you are a 25- or26-year-old [without power], but ifyou’re 76 or 80 it’s a totally different ballgame.”Half Hollow Hills Board of Educationmember and Dix Hills resident FrankGrimaldi, who was without power fornine days, said he was appalled by LIPA’slack of communication with residents inthe area.“I think LIPA itself has a tremendousamount of issues, and part of the problemis that the infrastructure was built in the1950s, and that’s poor management. Yousee all these trucks and hear rumors, and

no one knows what’s true what’s not… Itwas horrific. You had no idea what wasgoing on and you couldn’t talk to any-body… It was handled poorly,” Grimaldisaid.Once power was returned to theGrimaldi house, Frank said his familyopened their doors to those who were stillwithout and housed up to 15 of his chil-dren’s friends after the storm.Tina Shek, of Dix Hills, said that whileshe can commiserate with the fact that LI-PA’s hands are tied, she wished there wasmore communication on LIPA’s part. Herhome was without electricity for 10 days.“The whole thing has been a surreal ex-perience. Despite the negatives it wasnice to see everybody come together, andI think we all know we need to help eachother to get through something like this,”she said.

Power at Five Townsbehalf of the DHPAC.At the same time, Sherman said hewatched an out-of-state crew sit with aLIPA pickup truck at the Half HollowHills School District bus depot acrossthe street, waiting for orders. Theprovost said he spoke with someone atthe bus depot, who told him they werewaiting for their next assignment.Generators were used to keep the PublicSafety and Maintenance departments op-erational, but all four dorms were evacuat-ed and closed; two of the dorms were alsoin the dark. Five Towns has approximately200 students who reside on campus.“There’s no way to feed anyone ortransport them,” Sherman said.But with power finally returning onFriday evening, the campus started com-ing back to life. Heat began to flow, newfood was purchased for the cafeteria andIT crews were dispatched to restoreservice. Students were welcomed back totheir rooms as of 3 p.m. Monday andclasses were set to pick up again onTuesday.This weekend’s performance of “Rag-time” is still expected to go on. A musi-cal about three different cultural groupsin early 20th century America, the showwas in jeopardy with the college in the

dark as the show grew near.Deputy Theater Chair James Bene-duce said the cast and orchestra re-hearsed at various outside venues duringthe outage, even if they were never at fullstrength.“The best we could get at any time is50 percent. The rest of them live faraway in the city, New Jersey… Some ofthose areas were hit really hard,” Bene-duce said. “Somehow we were able topull people together, have them crash onother people’s couches.”Very limited work was accomplishedon the set, with the theater head consid-ering more of a focus on the actors thanthe background.“I’m getting outside help over the nextcouple of days to get it as done as possi-ble,” he said, adding they would focus onessential sets first.Opening night is scheduled fortonight, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m. The showwill run for evenings through Saturday,with a 2 p.m. show on Sunday. Ticketsare still available for all four shows. Thetheater can be reached at 631-656-2148.“We just wanted to bring some com-fort to say in some way we’re back tonormal. Get your mind off the insanityof the past three weeks,” Beneduce said.

Gas rationing workswho declined to give his last name,said operations have returned tonormal.“I think there was a panic overthe weekend because we saw a lotof people filling up. But today[Nov. 12], we put up a “We havegas” sign because I thought peoplethought we were closed [becauselines were so short],” Gus said.Gus said that on Monday he on-ly turned two drivers away fromthe pump because they wanted tofill up on an even day when theirplates were odd. After being “dry”for a week and a half, Gus said thestation received its first shipmentof gas over the weekend of Nov. 10.Out of a normal 12,000-gallon de-livery, the truck only delivered8,000 gallons to the Melville sta-tion.Residents of the Half HollowHills area said that prior to the ra-

tioning system, conditions were“crazy.”Frank Grimalidi, of Dix Hills,said he saw several stations hikingup gas prices during the days fol-lowing the storm.“It was crazy; you literally could-n’t get gas even after waiting threeto four hours long, and you’d wastemore gas waiting in line just forthem to tell you there’s no gas,”Grimaldi said. “It’s really disgust-ing when you see a bunch of gasstations prices go from $3.99 pergallon to $4.50 per gallon.”Tina Shek of Dix Hills said thatafter the shortage, she will nevertake a full tank of gasoline forgranted again.“After seeing how it was the pasttwo weeks I’ll never take gas forgranted. It’s been ridiculous, whenyou see fights break out on gaslines, when everyone should be co-operating,” Shek said.

Colts Out Of PlayoffsStorm disrupted season for girls volleyball

Volleyball players in the Half HollowHills area triumphed at the net through-out the season, however the court climateseemed to drop after the cold front in-duced by Hurricane Sandy.The Half Hollow Hills West girls varsi-

ty volleyball team made it to the playoffs,but lost to SmithtownWest (0-3) at theirquarterfinal game on Nov. 9.Prior to that, the storm caused the

team to cancel its last game of the season.According to Coach Lauren DiNigris, thecancellation of the final match weigheddown the girls’ spirits, especially the sen-iors.“The last game of the season is usually

a very special day for the seniors. Theteam puts together speeches and gifts toacknowledge and honor them. But thismade us finish with a 6-5 record,” DiNi-gris said.Following the cancellation, the girls

were unable to practice for 10 days due toschool closures. Having just one fullpractice in a two-week span, the girlswere a bit disconnected from the game,and had to go into the playoffs less pre-pared than they would have liked, thecoach said, adding that Smithtown West

was able to hold practices while the Hillsteam could not.“Trying to get back to that sense of nor-

malcy was a little hard with all thechanges and interruptions. We lost toSmithtown West and played very wellconsidering the situation. We were justrusty and who knows what could havehappened if it was a normal season,”DiNigris said.

Despite a strong season, the Half HollowHills West girls volleyball team lost in quar-terfinals of the playoffs.

Season Slips FromPlayers’ GraspBoys volleyball team falls in quarters

If you ask Half Hollow Hills boysvolleyball coach Todd Donaghy, it wasthe season that could have been.After qualifying for the Suffolk Class

AA playoffs, the team (8-2) left thecourts disappointed onNov. 9 after los-ing during the quarterfinal gameagainst Northport.Donaghy said that the two-week

layoff due to the storm had a visibleeffect on the team’s morale. Going in-to the last full week of the season, theteam, made up of players from bothHalf Hollow Hills high schools, wasranked No.1 in the county by MSGVarsity.According to the coach, the team’s

top setter, Brian Rickles, rolled his an-kle and was out for the last full week ofthe season. Another blow to the teamcame after the hurricane prevented

them from practicing in full-swing pri-or to the playoffs.“We were a talented team, not the

biggest and possibly not the most ath-letic. So not getting the reps we neededhurt,” Donaghy said. “I honestly believethis season will be remembered for theseason that could have been.”Donaghy said that in retrospect, the

team relied a little too heavily on ballcontrol than anything else, rather thanshifting their attention to defense. Inthe end, that was ultimately what end-ed their season.“After months of hard work, I felt

terrible for the boys. For our seniors Ihonestly believed this was their year,they deserved it. They played such abig part in turning the culture at Hillsaround,” Donaghy said.The coach said that after coaching

Hills in two country championships,he is optimistic that next season, theteam will have their day in court.
