BY PHIL CORSO

Smithtown Councilman Bob Creighton (R) is reaching out to Suffolk County as he continues to push a plan that would reform the town’s gov-ernment setup.

It has been nearly two months since the town board last discussed the government restructure proposal, which Creighton and Councilman Ed Wehrheim (R) advocated for at a work session in March. Officials renewed discus-sion Tuesday morning when Creighton said he would be asking Suffolk County Per-sonnel Director Alan Schnei-der to attend an upcoming work session and offer insight on how other municipalities endured a similar reform.

Under the plan, Smithtown would restructure its govern-ment services by placing a commissioner at the head of various departments, similar to operations in neighboring municipalities. For example, there would be one commis-sioner per department head-ing up areas like public safety, public works, planning and development, and human ser-

Vecchio, however, says he is not convinced it would benefi t the town.

vices, overseeing all levels of the town’s government.

“This is a very desirable place to live and we could improve on the way we run government,” Creighton reit-erated at Tuesday morning’s work session. “I do think this would be an improvement be-cause we would have far more accountability.”

Creighton said neighbor-ing municipalities, includ-

ing Brookhaven, already had similar makeups, differing greatly from Smithtown’s current structure of appoint-ing councilmembers as liai-sons to check in on various department heads.

“We do have liaison rela-tionships with these various departments, but liaison is li-aison,” Creighton said. “Direct control is something else.”

Smithtown Supervisor Pat

Vecchio (R), however, re-mained unimpressed by the proposal, as he was when it was discussed two months ago. While he said he was open to the prospect of Schneider coming to the board to dis-cuss the restructuring, he did not feel it would sway him in favor of doing it.

Vecchio said in March he was worried that such a reform

A contingent of 21 Latinos from Su� olk County has � led a class-action federal lawsuit suit against the Su� olk County Police Department, claiming several o� cers robbed them or issued them tra� c citations in unfounded, race-based stops over a 10-year period.

Kings Park BOE approvescivil service agreementBy BarBara Donlon

The Kings Park school district has reached an agreement with its civil service employees and signed a four-year contract that includes a 2 percent salary increase.

At Tuesday’s board of education meet-ing, the four board members present voted to authorize Superintendent Timothy Ea-gen to sign the new contract with the Civil Service Employees Association.

“I’m happy to present this evening that we have come to an agreement,” Eagen said.

In an interview after the meeting, Eagen said the current contract for the roughly 225 employees was set to expire June 30. The contract affects bus drivers, teacher aids, custodial staff, secretaries, nurses and more.

The new contract has no step movement, Eagen said.

Suffolk legislator pushes green roof pilot projectCounty lawmaker says program could save money while boosting larger-scale environmental benefitsBy Phil Corso

A North Shore lawmaker is calling on Suffolk County to give green a chance.

Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) is pushing a pilot program that, if en-acted, would inject green roof construction prin-ciples into roof repair or replacement plans for one county-owned build-ing on a trial basis.

A “green roof” uses a garden or plantings to increase energy efficiency by insulating the build-ing in the winter and re-ducing solar absorption in the summer, to decrease the need for heating and air conditioning, according to the not-for-profit Green Roofs for Healthy Cities organization. Green roofs can also at-tract various pollinating insect species, which would serve as an environmental benefit to the surrounding region.

“Structures that employ green roof concepts report increased energy ef-ficiency,” Hahn said. “In the munici-palities that have already installed these

roofs, officials have discovered that be-ing green is saving green.”

If enacted in Suffolk County, the pilot project would take root atop one county-owned building, Hahn spokesman Seth Squicciarino said. The county’s Department

of Public Works would monitor the green roof to measure the benefits.

If successful, similar roof renovations could sprout up throughout the county.

Hahn said the DPW would select which build-ing in Suffolk should get the roof repair or re-

placement project, select a vendor for the work and provide periodic reports on its progress as the seasons pass.

The plan was first put on the table March 3, and the county legislature’s Public Works, Transportation and En-ergy Committee mulled over the pro-posal at its April 20 meeting.

Hahn said municipalities through-out the country were already looking into similar projects and, in some cases, requiring new construction projects to

include green roof principles. As for Long Island, green roofs are already in full bloom on the SUNY Old Westbury campus and on the East End’s southern fork.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized green roof projects as an effective management practice that, if implemented on a large scale,

would reduce the volume of stormwater entering local waterways and lower wa-ter temperatures to enhance water qual-ity. New York City has already enacted a $4.50 property tax abatement for each square foot of many green roof projects, and the city of Syracuse has allocated nearly $4 million toward 37 different green roof projects to date.

File photosuffolk County legislator Kara hahn is working on a resolution that would install a green roof on top of one of the county’s building to test the environmental and financial benefits.

‘In the municipalities that have already installed these roofs, officials have discovered that being green is saving green.’

St. James takes snapshot of its North Shore historyBy Jenni Culkin

The artistic photography of the late North Shore resident Toni Frissell will be on display at the Village Hall in her hometown village of Head of the Harbor from May 29 to June 11. The Village Hall will be featuring some of Frissell’s rarest works from private collections.

Frissell was a prominent photogra-pher on the North Shore of Long Is-land throughout the 20th century. Her work in photography included fashion pieces, wedding snapshots and various photojournalistic photos.

“She had a very good eye and a sense of style,” said Leighton H. Coleman III, the village historian for the village of Head of the Harbor. “They were very personal and engaging photos.”

Frissell also used her photographic talents to illustrate children’s books throughout the 1940s. According to Coleman, these books have become extremely valuable and highly sought

after by collectors. Frissell’s work was featured in vin-

tage magazines such as Vogue and Life. “She had her own career and she was

a trailblazer in her career,” Coleman said in an interview last week.

Visitors can also expect to learn more about Frissell during their time at the event. A micro-exhibit of the his-tory of the Frissell family, photographs of Frissell by other famous photog-raphers and a copy of “Toni Frissell: Photographs 1933-1967” authored by her daughter will be available to view throughout the exhibit.

Some of Frissell’s family members and former sitters will be attending the exhibit. Her granddaughter, who followed in Frissell’s footsteps, will be one of the people in attendance.

The Village Hall will begin hosting the historic exhibit on May 29 with an opening reception at 5 p.m. The ex-hibit will be open to the public every afternoon through June 11.

Kidney Stones: Get Relief from the Pain and DiscomfortFifteen percent of Americans will experience the pain of kidney stones at some point in their lives, but there are treatments available that can reduce or eliminate suffering. Jennifer Hill, MD, a urologist at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, part of North Shore-LIJ Health System, discusses what you need to know about this condition.

Kidney stone disease is not only one of the most common afflictions of modern times, but kidney stones also tend to recur, meaning they develop again after you’ve been treated. If you have formed stones before, a recurrent bout of stone pain is usually easily recognized. The symptoms of kidney stone pain, or renal colic, are:• Severe back pain that is sudden• Nausea and vomiting• The inability to get into a comfortable position• Abdominal pain that wraps around the flank (the side of your body

between the ribs and the hip) to the front of the abdomen• Urinary frequency and urgency without much urine passage• Labial, vaginal, penile or testicular pain that is not made worse by

touching the area

Passing a kidney stone can be painful and time-consuming, but treatment options are available, including:• Medical expulsive therapy — medicine, usually given by an ER

physician or urologist, to allow quicker passage of stones • Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, or ESWL — a non-invasive

treatment for stones using shock waves• Ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy — a small scope is inserted into

the bladder and passed into the ureter to locate and remove stones• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or PCNL — endoscopic removal

of large stones through a small incision in the back

There are several types of stones, and each has a different cause and treatment.• Calcium oxalate — the most common kind of kidney stone • Uric acid — stones related to low urine output and a diet high in red

meat and other kinds of animal protein• Struvite — stones usually associated with urinary tract infection• Cysteine stones — very hard stones, difficult to treat and control • Very rare stones — including xanthine, matrix, drug-induced stones,

silica and triamterene

When dealing with recurrent kidney stones, prevention is key. If you’ve suffered from stones in the past, the following can help prevent their recurrence: • Drink three liters of water a day in order to keep your urine diluted• Follow a low-sodium diet• Increase citrus foods in your diet — citrus helps prevent stones

from forming

There are many other ways to prevent stone formation. It is important to partner with a urologist to help you in your battle with kidney stones.

If you or a loved one suffers from kidney stones, call (516) 734-8500 today to make an appointment with one of our urologists in Suffolk County. For more information, visit NorthShoreLIJ.com/Smith.

Cancer scammer sentenced to prisonDA: Ozarowski violated drug treatment program rulesBy Erika karp

The Selden native who tricked Long Is-landers into believing she had cancer and used donations to fund her heroin habit was sentenced to prison on Monday, after she violated the terms of a mandated drug treatment program, Suffolk County Dis-trict Attorney Tom Spota (D) said.

In December 2013, Brittany Ozarowski, 24, pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree larceny, 10 counts of sec-ond-degree forgery, 10 counts of first-degree of-fering a false instrument for filing, one count of first-degree scheming to defraud and one count of petit larceny. While the District Attorney’s of-fice wanted Ozarowski to serve a maximum seven-year prison term, Judge John Iliou instead required her to enroll in the Suffolk County Judicial Di-version Program, an alternative sentenc-ing program that includes drug addiction treatment instead of jail. Ozarowski’s sen-tence included one year of inpatient treat-ment, one year of outpatient treatment and

a year of probation.On Monday, Spota announced in a

press release that she had violated the pro-gram’s terms and had thus been sentenced to one to three years in prison.

George Duncan, a Central Islip-based attorney representing Ozarowski, said while Ozarowski received “technical vi-olations” that resulted in her prison sen-

tence, her time spent in the treatment program “literally saved her life,” and she is aware and thankful for that.

Duncan and the DA’s office couldn’t specify how exactly Ozarowski broke program rules, as doing so would violate the federal health care privacy laws.

Ozarowski was in-dicted on 24 counts and

arrested in April 2013. According to the DA’s office, she claimed she had bone and brain cancer to solicit donations from customers at supermarkets and shops throughout Long Island, including in Terryville, Miller Place and Sayville. In addition, she got local businesses to hold fundraisers to benefit her alleged

treatments and created a website with a PayPal account where people could do-nate. In reality, she was using the money to fuel her heroin addiction.

At the time of her arrest, investigators discovered more than $317 in a donation bucket. More than 20 locations with do-nation jars were later found, and the DA’s office estimated Ozarowski defrauded more than $6,000.

The 2013 arrest wasn’t Ozarowski’s first. She has other heroin-related charg-es against her, including a driving under the influence charge from 2011, which is still pending. The DA’s office said the Newfield High School graduate tam-pered with letters from doctors to say she had cancer and submitted them to her attorney in order to postpone court hearings on the charges.

The Selden native claimed she had brain and bone cancer and solicited donations from residents. The Da’s office said Ozarowski didn’t have cancer and used the money to buy heroin.

POLICE BLOTTERIncidents and arrests from April 23–May 3

Dangerous duoTwo men from Commack — one

a 22-year-old, the other 23 years old— were arrested at the precinct in Smithtown and charged assault with intent to cause serious physical in-jury. Police said the two men, while working in concert with one another, punched and struck a male victim in the head with an object, causing physical injury, on July 5, 2014. One man was arrested on April 26, the other man was arrested on May 3.

An expensive habitPolice arrested a 24-year-old

woman in Smithtown on April 28 and charged her with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, in one in-stance, with intent to sell. Police also said she had a bench warrant out for her arrest. On April 23 by 3:23 p.m., police said she sold a quantity of heroin to someone in exchange for cash. She was arrested on April 28 at 6:10 a.m. on Blydenburg Avenue in Smithtown.

Ford-ified with tapeAn 18-year-old woman from Hol-

brook was arrested in Smithtown at the precinct on April 27 and charged with third-degree criminal mischief, with damages greater than $250. Po-lice said the woman damaged a 2005 Ford, scratching the car with her key and affixing duct tape to the vehicle’s paint.

Boozy temper tantrumA 32-year-old man from Stony

Brook was arrested in Smithtown at 5:25 a.m. on April 26 and charged with resisting arrested and disorderly conduct: obstructing traffic. Police said the man, who was highly in-toxicated, and arrested at the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Glenrich Drive in St. James, was standing in the middle of the street, obstructing

North Shore ‘I Did the Grid’ run turns 8By Julianne CuBa

This Memorial Day weekend, for the eighth year in a row, the streets of East Northport will be filled with joggers and walkers honoring the lives of fallen soldiers.

On May 23, the Cpl. Christopher G. Scherer memorial “I Did the Grid” four-mile competitive run, one-mile fun run and four-mile recreational run/walk hon-ors the life of Chris Scherer and all men and women who gave their lives to serve the U.S. The run will begin at Pulaski Road Elementary in East Northport.

Scherer, who was a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, was born and raised in East Northport. He lost his life while serving in the province of Al Anbar in Iraq on July 21, 2007.

In his memory, the Scherer family started the Cpl. Christopher G. Scherer Semper Fi Fund, and on Memorial Day in 2008, held the first annual run to honor their son and all fallen warriors.

“Put your personal achievements away for the day and come to honor them [fallen soldiers] because it is Me-morial Day weekend and that’s what we should be doing … take a little time to think about the men and women who have died serving our country and the families they left behind,” Scherer’s fa-ther Tim Scherer said.

Scherer said that his son was a great kid who loved life and wanted to help his fellow Marines. In their final phone call before his death, Scherer said his son asked him to send lighter boot socks that wouldn’t make him sweat as much. Just before he hung up, his son asked if he would be able to send socks for other Marines, too, be-cause many didn’t have families.

The father said he sent out an email asking for contributions.

“It was just an email, I never thought I’d get anything, but in four days I had $2,500 to buy supplies for the troops, so we sent over 100 packages but he never got one of them ... it was just heartbreaking.”

It was through his son’s own desire to help his fellow Marines that the Scherer family got the idea for the fund and run, he said.

Scherer said his son’s greatest quality was his loyalty for everything he loved — his family, his friends, his lacrosse team and the U.S. Marines.

“This is not just about Chris,” his fa-ther said. “The race is named after him but we run for over 6,800 fallen war-riors … no service person is left behind. Everyone who has given their life is represented on Memorial Day, because that’s what Memorial Day is.”

Scherer said that instead of giving out awards, the run asks participants to look up the names of the four fallen sol-diers on their bibs, from either Opera-tion Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. The bibs are given out before the run. Upon completion, each participant will ring a bell to signify that no fallen warrior would be forgot-ten, he said.

Meghan Scherer, the late Cpl. Scher-er’s sister, also said that each year, they alternate giving out either a coin or pint glass, which were two of her brother’s favorite things.

“Challenge coins in the military are usually given when someone does some-thing extraordinary, so we feel that they should receive a coin, because they’re do-ing something amazing by remembering these men and women,” she said.

His sister said she and her other sib-lings — an older brother, Tim, and twin sister, Kaitlin — were all always so close.

“Nobody ever picked on my sister or

me because they knew Chris would al-ways have our backs,” she said. “Chris would pick on us but it was never any-body else. We were always protected from the start and that’s what he did, he protected us as a Marine.”

Matt Baudier, 34, from Northport, was an Eagle Scout with Scherer and was his mentor for a few years, he said.

“As his mentor, he always looked up to me, but the day that he deployed, he became my hero,” he said.

Baudier said the run is a good way to honor Scherer and all fallen soldiers.

“One of our tag lines is, ‘We run for those who stood for us,’” he said.

COMMISSIONERContinued from page A1

indictments encompassing 81 criminal charges involving 27 Hispanic victims were returned against Greene alone.

“There is no credible evidence that Greene acted with other police officers,” Clifford said.

All the 21 plaintiffs are anonymous and all, except for one, are male, according to the lawsuit. In a phone interview this week, Foster Maer, senior litigation coun-sel for LatinoJustice PRLDEF, declined to provide details on where in Suffolk the individuals live, nor could he say if they are related to one another. The sting op-eration involving Greene occurred in the Farmingville, Medford and Coram areas, according to the lawsuit.

In its statement, LatinoJustice PRLDEF alleges that most of its 21 plain-tiffs were stopped and robbed while driv-ing, while others were sitting in a parked vehicle or walking down the street.

“The victims claimed that one or more officers would, in clear violation of police rules, get a hold of the victim’s wallet and then return it a few minutes later with one or two hundred dollars missing,” according to the statement.

The firm also stated that it requested the DA expand the investigation beyond Greene and claims the DA “has not re-plied to the request and in fact has only indicted Sgt. Greene in the robberies.”

Clifford, in his statement, however, said some of the incidents LatinoJustice PRLDEF claims the DA ignored are cov-ered by the indictment against Greene.

“At no time did LatinoJustice provide

any information whatsoever that any vic-tims were robbed by police officers,” he said. “At no time did LatinoJustice pro-vide any audio tape to investigators re-garding any alleged crime.”

Asked how the firms would prove the alleged crimes occurred by officers other than Greene, Maer said the case would rely on victim testimony as “pretty hard proof.” He also said Suffolk County has access to location data of police cars, something he hopes will help narrow down officers involved in crimes.

Scrutiny of Suffolk County’s police prac-tices toward Latinos is not new. In 2013, the county Legislature ratified a settlement with the federal Department of Justice, cul-minating a five-year long investigation fol-lowing the stabbing death of Ecuadorian Marcelo Lucero, labeled a hate crime.

The 2008 case, which ignited tensions in the county over perceived anti-His-panic bias within the department, also gained national prominence. That settle-ment outlines a number of reforms with-in the department, including a minimum of annual training for officers on remov-ing bias from policing and on identifying hate crimes; designating officers who will interface with local communities to hear concerns and work to solve neighborhood problems; meeting with leaders of the La-tino community as well as other minor-ity communities for feedback; and send-ing all allegations, formal or informal, of police misconduct to the SCPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau for investigation, as well as track complaints and analyze trends.

“As we have done continuously since the beginning of this investigation, we continue to urge victims to contact the district attorney’s office,” Clifford said.

SuItContinued from page A1

would bring about more political ob-structionism in Smithtown, saying he felt the town already runs effi-ciently and that there is risk of los-ing sight of that by changing power.

“I have no problem with the town board. I really don’t,” Vecchio said at the meeting. “I think we run very well. I’m not convinced this will make the town run any better. I just don’t see the need.”

When the plan was discussed in

March, Councilman Tom McCar-thy (R) called for a financial analysis on such a proposal so as not to cost Smithtown taxpayers any additional dollars. Creighton brought that con-cern to the table Tuesday morning, suggesting that if commissioners were chosen out of the pool of cur-rent town employees, no additional costs would be accrued.

“We can use people from within and it will not cost the taxpayer any-thing,” Creighton said. “It’s a more reasonable span of control.”

The next work session is sched-uled for June 2 at town hall.

Accompsett MS students conduct local history interviewsAccompsett Middle School students

recently conducted video interviews with several longtime Smithtown resi-dents as part of an oral history project held in conjunction with Hofstra Uni-versity in recognition of Smithtown’s sesquarcentennial.

Prior to their interviews, the stu-dents researched the history of the town and learned about their subjects’ backgrounds under the direction of social studies teacher Christy Ortiz.

Lillian Munro and Barbara Ludder were two of the interviewees. Ludder’s family ran a large nursery business that once stood on the site of the current Uncle Giuseppe’s grocery store, while Munro’s husband was a descendant of the famous Whippoorwill family, who ran a farm in nearby Hauppauge. The women attended New York Avenue School together and wore their old school sweaters to the interview.

“These students had some very good questions,” said Ludder. “They really did their homework.”

Tom Hancock, longtime resident of the Village of The Branch, who was born and raised in Smithtown, also attended New York Avenue School and still keeps in touch with many of his

former classmates. “We were all one big happy family,”

said Hancock. “We considered our-selves brothers and sisters.”

Hancock said that his grandfather, an immigrant from Italy, was a tile worker who learned about Smithtown from an advertisement he saw while working in a New York City subway station. It read “Come to Smithtown: A Sportsman’s Paradise.” As someone who grew up enjoying the Nissequogue River, Hancock could understand why his grandfather moved here.

Other scheduled interviewees included the daughter of the former Smithtown police chief, a Kings Park Psychiatric Hospital historian and a former Town Republican Committee member. All interviews were conduct-ed and recorded in the AMS library media center.

Since the beginning of the school year, Smithtown CSD teachers have been fo-cused on presenting engaging, hands-on activities to teach students about Smith-town’s past and progression leading up to today. Many more activities are being planned to celebrate Smithtown’s 350th anniversary and educate students on the town’s rich history.

Science students excel at LI science fairTwo Kings Park High School students, Justin Barish and Alessondra Bru-

no, received awards at the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair. This is the Long Island regional competition for the International Science and En-gineering Fair sponsored by Intel. The very best of Long Island high school research is represented at LISEF.

Alessondra’s project, “Abiotic and Biotic Factors That Led to Extirpation of Chiropetra (Bats) in the Caribbean,” took third place in the Environmental Science category.

Justin’s project, “A Hand-centric Gestural Interface for 3D Navigation and Interaction in Visualization,” took first place in the Computer Science category. Additionally, Justin will be representing Long Island at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which will take place in Pittsburgh, Pa., in May.

Justin and Alessondra are members of the Independent Science Research Program at the high school.

er at his right, only to have Smithtown junior attack Nick Cascone take flight and snatch the ball from the defender’s waiting stick.

Upon landing, Cascone fed the ball to Caddigan in front of the cage. Caddi-gan snapped one by the startled keeper and put his team up 11-0.

“One of the things we’ve focused on all year is limiting our turnovers, be-cause when you play the better teams,

Boys’ LacrosseContinued from page A28

they’re going to beat you on it,” Caddi-gan said. “When you have the ball, they don’t, and when you have a face-off guy like Varello, you control the game.”

Rounding out the final three goals for Smithtown were freshman attack Matt Miller, Laforge, for his hat trick, and junior midfielder Brett Disalvo.

Smithtown head coach Bob Molti-santi was pleased with all aspects of his team’s game, and in particular, that of his senior goalkeeper.

“Danny Varello had an excellent game at the ‘X,’ and Zach Lamberti did a nice job in the cage turning away some of their good chances,” he said. “Our defense played close and we were able to shut the door on [Riverhead] a few times. Our attack did an excellent job on the ride — turning them over — and that created scoring chances for us in transition.”

With two games remaining in the regular season, Moltisanti said his strategy is to continue to take the sea-son one game at a time.

“I’m happy if we get better every time we’re on the practice field, and we get better every game we play,” Moltisanti said. “And right now, all we’re thinking about is getting ready for Copiague.”

Smithtown West hosted Copiague Wednesday, but results were not avail-able by press time. The Bulls will con-clude the regular season with a game at West Islip on Tuesday, May 12, at 5 p.m.

As the dust attempts to settle following two weeks of state assessment adminis-tration, preceded by months of politically charged debate and activism, I’ll, once again, express my plea that the state pow-ers-that-be reflect on the situation and its root causes and attempt to redirect their decision-making toward what is in the best interests of the children of New York.

I can attest to the fact that the admin-istrators, teachers and staff members in Huntington clearly understand their re-sponsibilities. They continue to develop and refine their crafts but have never lost sight of the individual differences dem-onstrated by the students in their class-rooms or buildings. They comprehend the concept of college and career readi-ness and recognize their roles within a systemic approach to a child’s education. They have instructionally prepared their

students in alignment with the new stan-dards, while continually striving to instill in students a love of learning. They have done everything possible to put aside their anxieties in the face of statewide educational unrest, rapidly moving eval-uation targets and mandates that seem-ingly appear out of nowhere. I imagine all of this is characteristic of the majority of schools and districts throughout the state.

I’d like to think that some learning has been accomplished or perspective gained from recent events. For example, broad-scale changes are likely to meet with failure if necessary preparations are not made or if measures are not put into place to facili-tate those changes. (The cliché applies — one cannot build a plane while it is being flown.) No amount of federal monies is worth the potential outcomes of a rushed and, therefore, flawed change process.

I’ll add that the importance of ac-countability and evaluation should not be minimized. But an unproven system based on unproven measures will surely contribute to inaccurate outcomes — both false positive and false negative.

Education Law §3012-d has been passed. It requires the state’s Board of Regents to redesign the Annual Professional Perfor-mance Review (APPR) process by June 30 and subsequently requires districts to sub-mit a new plan by Sept. 1. The bulk of plan development would be slated for a time when key stakeholders may not be available.

There are numerous education-related issues facing New York at this juncture. These issues must be approached with common sense and, again, with an eye toward what is best for our students. Why not begin such an approach with accepting the recent recommendation and allowing districts until at least Sep-tember 2016 to build valid and sensible APPR plans? Give districts the time, re-sources and capacity to do this right. Pro-vide them with the guidance and support they need. Leave threats of withholding aid out of the equation.

Education in New York is broken as a result of misguided and rushed initiatives that have left districts to their own devices to address state policy issues and misinfor-mation spread throughout their commu-nities. It is imperative that those in Albany reflect on what has happened and take the critical steps needed to restore transparen-cy, close the wounds and repair what was and could return to being one of the finest educational systems in the country.

Jim Polansky is the superintendent of the Huntington school district and former high school principal.

OPINION

File photo by Phil Corso Smithtown is considering additional retail developments near the Smith Haven Mall.

Think againTo The ediTor:

This letter is in response to the April 9, 2015 Times of Smithtown front-page article entitled “Planning department keeps eye on shopping.”

The article deals with a pro-posal to change the zoning on a section of land bounded by route 347, Alexander Avenue and Middle County road from residential, single family to neighborhood business. help me understand why the Town Board would consider rezoning this area to neighborhood business.

in watching the November 2014 public hearing about this particular parcel on govern-ment channel 18, more than one resident pointed out that the Checkers restaurant on route 347 had closed — it has also, since November, been de-molished — and that there are currently many empty strip-shopping centers in the Smith-town Township. it puzzles me to build more business com-plexes when there are already so many vacant ones.

in another article from Times of Smithtown on April 2, 2015 entitled “Bellone focuses on Connect Long island, water quality,” Suffolk County execu-tive Steve Bellone addressed the serious problem of young people leaving Long island. Two of the five crucial issues Mr. Bellone

mentioned were “lack of afford-able rental housing” and “access to public transportation.”

if it would be possible to con-sider a mixture of garden apart-ments and single family houses in the above-mentioned area, this could satisfy two criteria for at-tractiveness to young people and others looking to “down-size”:

1. Shopping and restaurants are in walking distance

2. A convenient stop for the Suffolk County Bus Transpor-tation is located in Smithhaven Mall.

Another related proposed zone change, about a year ago, was the proposed garden apartment development on the site of Smithtown Concrete Products Corp. at 441 Middle Country rd. This developer asked for a change of zoning from Light industry /residen-tial Zoning to rMGA (garden apartments). This project was withdrawn by the developer sometime last summer.

My only objection to that pro-posal was the substandard con-dition of route 25 between Terry road east to route 347 — 1950s road with 2015 traffic — and the road’s inability to bear the cur-rent traffic no less the increased traffic any new development would cause. New York State department of Transportation cancelled the widening project on route 25 from route 111 east to route 347 almost two years

ago and, to date, there is no evidence of any improvements on that stretch. Smithtown Concrete’s owner, no doubt, will try again to sell the property, and the serious road problems on that stretch of route 25, or Middle Country road remain.

in a summary of the Smith-town Planning department’s proposed Comprehensive Plan update, one stated goal is main-taining the Smithtown By-pass by discouraging business uses from locating along route 347. The proposed change of zoning to neighborhood business in the route 347, Alexander Avenue and Middle Country road area seems to be a direct contradic-tion of the vision the Planning department has proposed.

Will the Town Board listen to its Planning department and concerned local residents, and approve the Smithtown Planning department’s Comprehensive Plan? or will there be continued catering to developers despite what such development has done to route 347 traffic in the past and will do to the route 347 traffic situation in the future?

i urge all parties involved in this matter to do some very serious thinking about the change of zoning in that route 347, Alexander Avenue and Middle Country road parcels.

ediToriALStop it before it starts

Tensions between police departments across the country and the communities they have sworn to protect have been high over the last several months, and Suffolk County is not an ex-ception in this trend. But we differ from the areas where tensions have exploded into street protests and violence in one crucial way: We can prevent such an eruption.

A group of 21 local Latinos has recently filed a lawsuit against the Suffolk County Police de-partment, alleging officers racially profiled them and even robbed them during police stops over the last 10 years. The lawsuit alleges the police have a culture of discriminatory policing.

The case is in part a response to the arrest of the SCPd’s Sgt. Scott Greene, who during a sting operation was found taking money from a Latino driver. Greene now faces 81 criminal charges against a couple dozen hispanic victims, and authorities say he was working alone.

But we could trace the issue back a little further as well, to the 2008 hate-crime stabbing murder of Marcelo Lucero, a Patchogue man from ecuador. in the wake of the murder — for which seven young men were convicted — and the police’s investigation, there was public outcry over perceived police bias against hispanics.

We have no doubt the majority of police of-ficers are good people who just want to do their difficult, and at times dangerous, job of protect-ing Suffolk County residents. But it’s also true that a few bad apples can spoil the bunch — or lead to public perception that they have spoiled the bunch, which matters just as much.

The good news is we are in a desirable position to change things for the better — if we acknowl-edge the warning signs of trouble. The places in this country where there have been protests and riots, for various reasons, tensions between the police and the community had been stewing for a while. We should not let this come to pass in Suffolk County through our own inaction.

A 2013 settlement between the county Leg-islature and the federal department of Justice — enacted in response to the Lucero case — is a good start. That agreement called for anti-bias training, taking feedback from the community and tracking complaints of police misconduct.

our police department should kick that into high gear, holding more community forums and communicating to residents both the steps of-ficers are taking to reduce bias and the progress of that work.

if we act as partners, we can improve police service and our officers’ relationship with resi-dents to make our community a better place to live for everyone.


Things rarely heard from a suburban parent

A friend recently forwarded an amusing Time Out ar-ticle that included a list of

things you’d never hear a parent say in New York City. I’d like to offer a suburban version, with the qualifying caveat that these are probably things you’d rarely hear a suburban parent say:

their activities is so much fun. I’m sure one will open up soon and it’ll be incredibly close to where we need to go.”

“Awesome, the price of gas went up again. How about that? That’ll give us a chance to prac-tice our math skills, guessing at the percentage increase in the cost of filling our tank.”

“An away game? Great. That gives us so much quality time to play a real-life version of an ar-cade game from our generation: Frogger.”

“You told your six friends we’d be driving? Fantastic, but you know our car only fits four, right?”

“Oh, hey, that’s a great idea. I’ll drive and you completely ignore me with a huge grin on your face while you type into your elec-tronics. I thoroughly enjoy talk-ing to myself.”

“You need one purple sock, one red sock and a Dr. Seuss hat in the next 20 minutes? Sure, no problem.”

“Why would my child need to sign up for another activity?”

“You hear that? Ah, yes, the leaf blower and the car alarm. Early morning music for the whole family.”

“Of course we can go to the new frozen yogurt place for breakfast.”

“Hey, I understand. Your son needed to practice his hitting out-side at 6 a.m. because he has a big game. Well, good luck to him.”

“I’m sure we can find an art store that’s open at 11 p.m. to-night for a project that’s due to-morrow.”

“I don’t know how they do it. But every year they seem to put together exactly the right combi-nation of kids for each class.”

“The teachers are just getting better and better. I’m sure all the tutors in this town are going to struggle to find students who need any extra help.”

“They have it so much harder than we did when we were young, poor dears.”

“Why, yes, I think we should change everything we do so that we can live like the Jones family. That’s a great idea, staying up un-til 2 a.m. on Monday nights. I’m not sure why we didn’t think of that sooner.”

“The older generation looks so much better in selfies than the younger one.”

“Fantastic, you’ve signed up for a team with all the same players for another season. That means the same parents will all get to hang out together and watch the same set of neuroses unfold dur-ing each quarter of the game.”

“They’ve added more stan-dardized testing? What an in-credible opportunity to learn and grow. You’re going to be so much further ahead than children in Japan, who are wasting their time with new material every day.”

“I’d love to answer your ques-tion, honey, but I’m not sure if there’s anywhere around here that I can get coffee first.”

“I’m sure there’s a great restau-

rant open close by at 11 p.m. on a Monday night that’ll be thrilled to have our team of 25 celebrate the end of another great season.”

“Oh, great, here comes Sheila, whose kids are so much better than mine, yours and those of everyone else. I can’t wait to hear about all the awards her kids have won this week.”

“So glad we were able to pro-vide such a complete meal for the raccoons last night.”

“Absolutely. Everything is just perfect in the suburbs.”

‘I can’t wait to hear about all the awards

her kids have won this week.’

This is going to be hard. I want to tell you about a highly original, marvel-

ously acted, adventurous piece of musical theater I saw on Broad-way last weekend, but I don’t want to give away much of the plot. I would hope you would see the play, as I did, knowing almost nothing about the de-tails except that it has the high-est number of Tony nominations this year with 12, alongside “An

American in Paris,” and concur-rently has garnered spectacular raves from critics and audiences.

For a play to be so applauded, it would have to be creative and break new ground for narrative, music and staging. “Fun Home” does all that. Performed at the Circle in the Square Theatre on 50th Street just off Eighth Ave-nue, and billed as a family tragi-comedy, the show is adapted by Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori from Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel, based on a memoir she kept through the years of her growing up.

OK, I will tell you it is both a coming of age and a coming out story. If you are the least bit uncomfortable with either of the themes, you should not see the play because the events por-trayed are sometimes raw. And they are raw because they are heartbreakingly honest.

We all try to understand our parents, even more so as we age, because these are the two people who made us. In understanding

them, we come to better know ourselves. So I will tell you further that the narrator of the play is the daughter and she is chasing her memories, trying to understand and come to terms with her father.

Memories have an evanes-cent, shimmering quality to them and that makes them hard to pin down with certainty, even in our minds, much less on a stage. Therefore the device that this play employs is particularly interest-ing. There are three actresses who play Alison, the narrator, at dif-ferent times of her life — as an 8-year-old, a 19-year-old and her current age of 43 — as she looks on and occasionally cringes at what the other two say and do, If you think about it, we all re-act that way sometimes when we think of our younger selves.

So in this universal yearn-ing to know our parents, some of the particulars of this family are unusual and in the view-ing, they are wrenching. As has been said before, all happy families are happy in the same

way, but unhappy families are unhappy uniquely.

Bruce, the father of three bright and imaginative chil-dren, is a high school English teacher, a restorer of old houses, the proprietor of a funeral home in a small Pennsylvania town and the husband of Helen, Ali-son’s mother. But his life is more than that, as divided person-ally as it is professionally, and therein lays the rest of the plot which I really am not going to tell you, however hard this is. I don’t want to ruin the surprises.

I will share with you, how-ever, that the staging cleverly involves trapdoors opening and closing to disgorge and swallow up at different times objects in the home as large as the grand piano. When the lighting dims, it serves as a curtain would between scenes in a more conventional the-ater. And the music, highly original and opera-like as it is occasionally spoken and sung, perfectly carries forward the

storyline and fills in the unsaid. It is sometimes made up of big, brassy show tunes and some-times of heartfelt yearnings.

Michael Cerveris and Judy Kuhn head up the cast in this poignant, provocative and haunting human drama, made all the more soulful because it is a real family we are watching. As they sometimes say on movie screens when the film ends, this story is based on actual events.

This musical play has gone in a new direction and can be as forthright because of the times in which we live. Taboos can be spo-ken of out loud, and secrets can be revealed both on stage and in real life in an unprecedented way. This is both cathartic and liberating for audiences, as great art always is.

his second, the ball ricocheted off the pipe and he snagged the rebound and drove his shot home — and Riley struck again for the final goal of the quarter.

“In the second half we took over on of-fense, but they’re a tough team,” Riley said.

Smithtown junior midfielder Dan Ca-roussos fed a diving Zawadzki in front of the cage, and while airborne, Zawadzki buried his shot before touching ground, for his hat trick, to put his team out front 8-0.

Zawadzki wasn’t finished, and scored his fourth goal of the game off a feed from se-nior midfielder Garrett Brunsvold, to lead by nine to end the half.

The Bulls opened the second half with possession thanks to junior midfielder Danny Varello’s mas-tery at the faceoff “X,” and from there, they slowed the tempo of the game. Smithtown’s passing remained solid and deliberate throughout the game, as the team circled the cage looking for any

opportunity. Opportunity came knock-ing three minutes into the third quarter, and Caroussos fired a shot between the pipes to surge ahead 10-0.

“We played very well today, our defense communicated very well and Zach Lam-berti, our goalie who’s been playing great all season, had some big stops,” Smithtown West senior defenseman Chris Weider said. “Dan Varello at the ‘X’ won almost all of our

face-offs today, and when you do that, it means time of possession.”

With the heavy lead, Smithtown went to work running down the clock. The team’s assis-tant coach, Tom Rotanz, barked from the sideline: “Zero-zero, get big, get

wide,” as the Bulls’ offense dropped back, spread out and snapped the ball around the circle, first one way, and then the other, as time bled off the clock.

Riverhead’s goalkeeper, fresh off a big stop, looked to clear the ball to a defend-

The Smithtown West boys’ lacrosse team blew the Riverhead Blue Waves out of the water in a dominating perfor-mance on its home turf Friday afternoon.

In a tune-up game for the playoff-bound Bulls, the team controlled the draw, the clock and the time of posses-

sion, and shut out Riverhead, 14-0, to improve to 8-2 with two games left to play in regular season, League II play.

Smithtown hit the scoreboard quickly and often, and freshman attack Kyle Za-wadzki put away a pair in just over three minutes of play. The first was off a feed from senior midfielder Jarrod Wilkom.

The Bulls rattled off five more goals to take a 7-0 lead into the second quarter.

Smithtown sophomore attack Jimmy Caddigan got on the scoreboard first, and sophomore midfielder Danny Riley tacked on the next. Senior attack Bren-nan Laforge found the cage twice — on
