I’m in a two-man, open-cockpitplane, wearing a helmet and a jump-suit. There is a parachute strapped tomy back. I have just been informedthat we will not be high enough forsaid parachute to do me any good.And what am I worried about?

Working the video camera strappedto the cockpit.“I figured out how to use the Go-

Pro,” I say. There’s an intercom builtinto my helmet, but I still have toshout over the noise of the engine.“You’ve got one up on me!” pilot

Bob Johansen says.For a second, I’m unsettled. One

up on him? We’re waiting on a verywindy Republic Airport runway.Shouldn’t the pilot know moreabout—I don’t know—everythingthan I do?I remind myself that Johansen,

who spends his summers in North-port, doesn’t need to be up on the lat-est technology; he’s flying a WorldWar II training plane for the GEICOSkytypers. That technology is from1940. I also remind myself that avia-tion and point-and-shoot video cam-eras have little in common.The Skytypers team consists of a

dozen pilots. They do air showsacross the country, from NewYork toVirginia to Georgia, but Long Islandis their home. They’re also in thebusiness of “typing” messages in thesky using puffs of smoke.The team, owned by Northport

resident Larry Arken, is a commondraw at the New York Air Show atJones Beach each Memorial DayWeekend. Arken also serves as thecommanding officer and flight lead.Flight is in his blood; he inheritedthe team from his father, the lateMort Arken.I’ve seen the itty-bitty propeller

planes before; I never thought I’d bein one. I’m on a rare media-flightwith the Skytypers. The crew hasgraciously allowed me to see whatthey do up close. In exchange, I’mplaying the part of “fearless re-porter.” So far the scariest part hasbeen climbing into the plane, whichinvolved bracing my foot on a tinymetal foothold that I could barelyreach with my toes. I am now in theplane. So far, I think I’m doing a de-cent job.Johansen’s been flying since he

was just 17 and joined the Skytypersin 1977. In between, he flew theGrumman S2 “Tracker,” an antisub-

marine aircraft from aircraft carri-ers. He also spent 33 years workingas a commercial pilot—I don’t thinkI would need my useless parachuteeven if it were useful.We’re still on the runway, getting

ready to take off beside Jim Record,another pilot for the Skytypers. Fly-ing with multiple planes will giveme a rare glimpse of flying in aclose-flight formation. The groupdoes close formation stunts. I’m toldthey even go wing to wing.I realize that my helmet-intercom

picks up words from ground control.I listen to the scratching sounds withimpatience. I’m done taxiing; I’mready to fly. I start thinking I shouldbe more nervous than I am. I stopthinking.The cockpit canopy is open. We

have liftoff. The flight is so smooththat I barely realize that we haveliftoff.Once we’re in the air, I can see

Record give us a thumbs-up. He’sflying just ahead of us. I don’t thinkhe can see me. I don’t think thethumbs up was intended for me. Iflash one back, anyway.“I bet you never thought you’d be

this close to another plane before,”Johansen says.His bet is accurate—never in my

wildest dreams had I thought thiswould be possible. I can’t stoplaughing.“Normally, if you’re flying and

you see another plane, it’s not a goodthing; but [with us] it’s actually eas-ier when you’re closer, because thewhole game is relative motion. Thecloser you are the easier it is to seewhat he’s doing,” he continues.

I continue giggling like an idiot inresponse. I can barely hear him overthe wind and engine. My ears feellike they need to pop.The beach looks tiny from 1,000

feet. The plane beside us does notlook so tiny. In fact, it looks largerthan it did on the ground. It’s amaz-ing what happens when your pointof reference shifts.I can’t get over the fact that a pro-

peller is what pulled us into the air.We’re over open water. I can’t stoplooking at the other plane. I can’tstop thinking about what we mustlook like from the other plane. It’slike being inside of a toy.The cockpit is roomier than I had

expected. There is more space infront of my body.With the air aroundmy face, I feel like I’m sitting in asolitary chair in the sky. It’s noisy.I feel compelled to gush to the pilot.“This is incredible!” I say.“This is our life!” he says.Each time we turn, the plane flips

sideways. This is my favorite part,by far.Suddenly, there’s smoke around

us; I look at our companion planeand realize that we’re making a“dash” in the sky. I remember thatthey’re called “Skytypers” for a rea-son.We circle back and see our own

mark hanging in the sky. Up close itlooks like some strange, angularcloud.The planes they fly—SNJs—were

designed to help pilots transition be-tween basic trainers and first-linetactical aircrafts in 1940-1941. MostAllied pilots who flew in WWIIlearned in an aircraft just like the

one I’m sitting in.I think about the history of the

planes, about flying one in times ofwar. It seems sort of lonely, just youand the pilot in the sky. I look overat Record in plane #6. Not so lonelyanymore.Ground control scratches back in-

to the intercom.“It’s gonna be a hard turn, either

left or right,” a voice says.“Copy that.”We take a left.After a little more cruising, the

announcement comes—gear downnow. My heart sinks a little; I don’twant my ride to end!The landing is smooth. I tell Jo-

hansen how awesome his life is. I tryto turn off the GoPro. I later learnthat I failed to turn off the GoPro. Itake a deep breath. Just as I finishexhaling, the intercom clicks off.The adventure is over.

There’ll be no shortage of rabbis inDix Hills this weekend – that’s be-cause the Lubavitch Chai Center isset to play host to a convention ofChabad rabbis this Sunday for a re-gional convention.And RabbiYackov Saacks, director

of the Chai Center, is looking forwardto the guests coming for the day trip.“It’s pretty neat when 150 rabbis

converge on you,” he said.The annual regional convention is

targeted at Chabad rabbis in NewYork and New England. This year,the Chai Center was chosen to hostthe daylong affair, which includesseminars, workshops and inspira-tional talks.“For the most part, it’s a convention

for the rabbis. Instead of doing it in theHilton, they do it here,” Saacks said.The Chabad movement of Judaism,

which has its roots in Russia, com-bines a system of Jewish religiousphilosophy and teaches understand-

ing and recognition of the Creator,the role and purpose of creation, andthe importance and unique mission ofeach creature.The Chai Center, located on Van-

derbilt Parkway in Dix Hills, offers awide variety of educational and spir-itual opportunities, including HebrewSchool, Preschool, Torah classes,Shabbaton dinners and an array ofJewish Holiday programs.

Some of Suffolk County’s topcops who serve, protect and live inthe Town of Huntington were hon-ored recently by county leaders.Led by County Executive Steve

Bellone, Legislators Sarah Anker,Kate Browning and Kara Hahn andSuffolk Police Chief James Burkeand Assistant Deputy County Ex-ecutive Tim Sini, honored 22 offi-cers for making the most DWI ar-rests in Suffolk County.The ceremony, held at the Suf-

folk County Police Academy, hon-ored all the officers and awardedone sheriff with the Top Cop awardafter making 143 arrests this year.“These officers have saved hun-

dreds of lives by making DWI apriority and arresting those individ-uals who make the irresponsibledecision to drink and drive,” Bel-lone said.

The STOP-DWI program, Spe-cial Traffic Options Program forDriving While Intoxicated, is acomprehensive program designedto reduce the incidence of alcohol-related traffic fatalities and injuriesin New York State. In SuffolkCounty, the program is 100 percentsupported by the fines that are col-lected from individuals that areconvicted of alcohol and/or drugrelated traffic infractions.Suffolk County police and local

village departments made over3,800 DWI arrests in 2014, makingfor more than 14,000 over the lastthree years, Bellone said.In 2014, 45 people were killed

What’s the difference…With MemorialDay weekend in the rear-view mirror, a briefcrash course in the difference between Memori-al Day and Veteran’s Day seems to be in order.Veteran’s Day, which is held onNov. 11, is a tribute to all ofthe men and women who haveserved in our nation’s military.Meanwhile, Memorial Day, which is held onthe last Monday of May each year, is specifical-ly devoted to commemorating the lives of allthose who died in service of our country duringmilitary service. Both federal holidays have theirroots in past conflicts – Veteran’s Day began asArmistice Day to commemorate the end ofWorld War I, and Memorial Day began as Deco-ration Day after the Civil War, a means of re-membering the lives lost during the AmericanCivil War.

Hats off to Carl…Ahead of this MemorialDay holiday, we got some big news aroundthese parts – one of the representatives in Al-bany who works for Huntington residents is nowset to take the helm of the NewYork State Edu-cation Committee. Carl Marcellino, a formerschool teacher and administrator for many yearsbefore politics, has been named by new MajorityLeader John Flanagan – also a Huntington rep-resentative in the Senate – to helm the powerfulcommittee, taking Flanagan’s place there. Carl’sgot a lot on his plate in the coming weeks andmonths, but with his experience and attention todetail, I’m confident we will be served well in-deed by his experience and insight. Good luck,Carl!

Back up slowly…As the summer season be-gins, so too does the big rush to our area vil-lages. And if I’ve learned one thing in my life

around these parts, two things are essential –plenty of quarters in yourglove box, and the ability toparallel park. I know that I’vegrown a bit rusty over the win-ter – after all, I’m not about tostart parallel parking on snowmounds! – but it’s time tosharpen up because, with park-ing as valuable a commodity

as it is these days, if I see prime parking, I wantto take it!

The heart of the matter… Some excitingnews to share with you about the situation in-volving young Christian Siems. You might re-member the 21-year-old fellow from a story afew weeks ago, in which we reported on thesuccessful heart transplant he underwent. Well,Christian is home in Huntington once again! It’sa tremendously happy ending, one for which weare thrilled around these parts, but it bears re-minding – if you haven’t done so yet, sign up tobecome an organ donor post-haste. If you did,that’s great – tell your friends, tell your family,tell your co-workers. Make sure that, God forbidthe time comes when someone close to youneeds an organ transplant, there’s one there intheir time of need. Christian proves that organdonation works – if the one key ingredient isthere.

As Half Hollow Hills incumbents Frank Grimaldiand James Ptucha opted not to seek re-election, vot-ers had four candidates to choose from as they tookto the polls on May 19.Of those four candidates, Adam Kleinberg (1,488

votes) and Stephanie Gurin (1,476 votes) were elect-ed to the vacant seats. Scott McElhiney (916 votes)and Adrian Montalvo (817 votes) were defeated.“I’m thrilled that the community is giving me an

opportunity to try and help the district,” Kleinberg,a 41-year-old father of two, said. “Obviously thereare a lot of expectations for me and I hope to live upto them.”Kleinberg, an attorney Sokoloff Stern LLP in Carl

Place, supports a major push for transparency in thedistrict and long-range planningwhen evaluating thedistrict’s future budgets. He is also against state stan-dardized testing, an issue that he believes is thebiggest currently facing the district.“I look forward to sitting down with the existing

board members and hearing their goals and plans forthe upcoming year,” he said.Gurin is a 47-year-old mother of two sons – one

of whom currently attends High SchoolWest – whohas an extensive history of involvement with theHalf Hollow Hills PTA system and has focused on acareer in education.She is also a supporter of increased transparen-

cy by the district towards the public – she’d like tosee a monthly newsletter published to inform res-idents of events, important meetings, etc. – andwould also like to see the district implement tech-nological innovations in its classrooms. Gurin isalso against standardized testing and, in turn, doesnot agree with linking scores from those tests toteacher evaluations.Both Kleinberg and Gurin were elected to three-

year terms.Voters also unanimously approved a

$238,658,101 budget for the 2015-2016 school year.With 1,972 in favor and 569 against, the budget

brings about a 2.34-percent tax levy increase –which was equal to the district’s tax levy cap.The $238.6-million budget will be funded, in part,

by $195,369,595.Another $28,999,697 in NewYorkState aid is expected – more than $2 million more

than the district was allotted for in the previousschool year’s budget.The ’15-’16 budget marks a 1.9-percent year-to-

year increase, which officials have said is the lowestyear-to-year increase since the ’96-’97 school year.In building the budget, district officials stressed

educational opportunities. Included are plans to: re-store elementary clubs; implement fine arts coursessuch as filmmaking and photography; and revampthe physical education program to include group andoutdoor education.There are also three capital projects included: the

replacement of High School East’s chilling andcooling tower, the renovation of High SchoolWest’stennis courts and the replacement of High SchoolWest’s auditorium partition doors.

With the clock winding down onthe 2015 legislative session, StateSenate Majority Leader JohnFlanagan (R-E. Northport) is large-ly staying the course set by formerleader Dean Skelos after beingthrust into the leadership role lastweek.With less than two weeks re-

maining, Flanagan announced hewill push legislation related to tax-es, education, guns and sexual as-sault on campus. His priorities, an-nounced Monday, mirror in manyways the wish-list shared by Skelosin a May 7 message released short-ly before he was forced from themajority leader’s position amidst abribery and extortion indictment.Flanagan assumed the roles of ma-jority leader and temporary senatepresident on May 11.New to Flanagan’s list, however,

are reforms to address concernsabout the Common Core curriculum.Passing reforms now, Flanagan said,means they will be in place for thestart of the 2015-2016 school year.

Opponents of Common Core –who have argued the testing regi-men and added rigor of curriculum,especially at the younger grades, areinappropriate at the age levels –protested the changes en masse thisspring by opting out of state exami-nations. Several groups haveprotested outside the district officeof Flanagan, the chairman of theState Senate’s education committee.“To make parents more comfort-

able with what is happening in theirchildren’s classrooms and by exten-sion their kids as well, Senate Re-publicans will pass legislation toimprove the provisions that wereenacted in the state budget to en-sure that tests are age-appropriatefor children and the curriculum isconsistent with higher learningstandards, among other things,”Flanagan said.In addition, Flanagan also said he

will push for increasing the cap onthe allowable number of charterschools in New York State.Like Skelos, Flanagan said he

will push to make the property taxlevy cap permanent in New York, amove he said would “bring certain-

ty to taxpayers, help create goodjobs and grow our economy for thefuture.” He is also urging the As-sembly to pass the Education In-vestment Tax Credit, which is de-signed to encourage additionalcharitable donations to education,specifically to private scholarshipfunds which serve at least threenon-public schools, a nonprofit ed-ucational organization workingwith a public school or school dis-

trict, or serves directly a publicschool or district.He is also backing efforts to

“combat and root out campus sexu-al assault” and legislation thatwould ensure NewYork City policeand firefighters injured in the lineof duty “receive appropriate finan-cial protection.” Flanagan is alsopushing for “common-sense” re-forms to the SAFE gun-control actpassed in January 2013.

NewMajority Leader John Flanagan speaks on the floor of the State Senate.

State Senator Carl Marcellino, a for-mer biology teacher and school admin-istrator before entering the political the-ater, is returning to the head of the class– except this time it’s as the chairmanof the State Senate Education Commit-tee, sources have confirmed.The State Senator, who’s been on the

committee since he was elected toserve the fifth district in 1995, saidthere’s a lot of work to be done and notmuch time to do it. Paramount on thatto-do list, he said, is addressing Com-mon Core “and calming down the tur-moil the system seems to be in” relatedto the controversial standards, statetesting and controversial reforms toteacher evaluation methodologies.For that to happen, the state’s board

of regents and state education depart-mentmust get on the samepage as statelegislators.“We’ve got to build coalitions here.

We need consensus,” he said. “And wedon’t have a lot of time.”The move to appoint Marcellino

came after the committee’s formerchair, John Flanagan, became the State

Senate’s MajorityLeader. Marcellino’s se-lection means two of theState Senate’s most pow-erful posts are held by of-ficials representing theTown of Huntington.Flanagan on Friday

confirmed he will ap-point Marcellino to thepost.“Senator Marcellino

has a wealth of experi-ence in the Legislature and is a formerpublic school teacher and school boardmember with a strong grasp of the ed-ucation system in New York State,”Flanagan said. “I know he will do atremendous job representing studentsand their parents when it comes to im-proving the quality of education, andhe will be a tireless advocate for themembers of our Senate RepublicanConference and the taxpayers and con-stituents they represent.”Half Hollow Hills TeachersAssocia-

tion President Richard Haase agreed onFridaywithMarcellino’s call for greatercohesion. It’s an effort that will take “alot of courage and a lot of diplomacy tobring these two sides together.”

“There’s an incrediblefrustration and toxicitythat’s come from thecommunication break-down and the testing andthe really heavy-handedand punitive measure thathave been imposed,”Haase said.Education needs “a

bold, patient leader thatcan bridge differences,”one who will listen more

to those in the field and their concerns.“They need to start by looking at the

testing and the implications it’s havingon students, communities, districtsand teachers,” he said.Sources in attendance at Marcelli-

no’s meetingwith superintendents andschool board presidents in his legisla-tive district, held in Cold Spring Har-bor on May 21, said that Marcellinoreceived congratulatory phone callsfrom Flanagan and Gov.AndrewCuo-mo during the meeting.“I’m very pleased and honored,”

Marcellino said, later adding that “it’sa big job and a major honor.”Assemblyman Andrew Raia, a for-

mer legislative aide to Marcellino,

said it is “great news” that the educa-tion chairmanship is remaining onLong Island.“I know his dedication to Long Is-

land schools and children,” Raia said.State Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-

ci (R-Huntington Station), a formerschool board member in South Hunt-ington, agreed, adding that Marcellinowill be “a very powerful voice” forLong Island public schools.Dix Hills’ Stanley Klein, an LIU

Post political professor and local elec-tions analyst who serves as a Hunting-ton Republican Committeeman, saidthat Marcellino and Flanagan see “eyeto eye” on Cuomo’s approach to Com-mon Core and testing, and can proveto be a firewall to more aggressive at-tempts by Cuomo to make further re-forms.That could bear political benefits,

solidify the Republican Senate major-ity and have impacts on future townelections.“If they can pull that off – and I have

no doubt that they can – then all of theopt-out people, many of whom areDemocrats, should come over to theRepublican side next time,” Kleinsaid.

Few dogs wouldn’t bark at the op-portunity to get outside, run free and,perhaps, make a few puppy palsalong the way.That’s the mindset behind the in-

ternationally-known dog-wellnessprogram, Dogs Playing for Life.Founded by experienced dog trainerAimee Sadler, the program has trav-eled around the globe in order to cre-ate play groups for shelter dogs inhopes of helping the little bundles ofenergy burn some of it off while si-multaneously aiding the dogs in be-ing adopted and combatting thestresses brought about by shelter life.As of this month, the Dogs Playing

for Life program officially became apart of life for the workers at theHuntington TownAnimal Shelter andthe volunteers of the League for Ani-mal Protection (LAP). Training in-cluded classroom sessions andhands-on work with the dogs ofHuntington’s shelter, which is foundon Deposit Road in East Northport.“We are excited about the poten-

tial of the Dogs Playing for Life pro-gram to stimulate dogs at the shelterand prepare them for their lives whenthey find new homes,” Town Super-visor Frank Petrone said in a pressrelease.Sadler paid a visit to the Hunting-

ton shelter and began the process of

training workers and volunteers inthe Dogs Playing for Life program,which she originally began at theSouthampton town shelter. The pro-gram has since spread to more than100 shelters worldwide.The concept is simple: create play

groups for shelter dogs so that theycan learn valuable dog-to-dog socialskills, exercise, and give shelterworkers a way of evaluating the pupsso that they can find potential adop-tion matches.“Play is good for animals and peo-

ple,” Sadler said in the release. “Let-ting shelter dogs get together to so-

cialize daily helps them to cope withthe stressful kennel environmentwhile waiting for someone to takethem home.”Jane Barbato, head of the volunteer

program at the shelter for the LAP,commended the Dogs Playing forLife program and said it offers theshelter dogs a grand opportunity.“The shelter staff and LAP volun-

teers already know that we have mostwonderful dogs in the world. Playingfor Life gives the public the opportu-nity to see for themselves just howmagnificent they really are- in alltheir glory,” she said.

The public will have that opportu-nity as town officials plan to take a“first-person” perspective throughthe eyes of one of the shelter’s dogs,Dixie, a pit bull mix. Videos areplanned to be posted online that por-tray the progress that the programmakes at the shelter.Costs for the program – coming in

at approximately $6,000 – were di-vided by the town and the LAP.“Huntington is proud of our shelter

and our efforts to stay at the forefrontof current trends in caring for thephysical and emotional needs of thedogs in our care,” Petrone said.

Joltin’ Joe Heid WillNever Be Forgotten

DEAR EDITOR:In a day and age where our

society loosely uses theword “hero,” and whereelected officials fail us everyday, we are all blessed tohave had a man like Joe

Heid, president of Hunting-ton Tri-Village LittleLeague, live in our commu-nity, lead in our community,and selflessly serve ourcommunity with distinctionand integrity epitomizing thedefinition of a true hero.Joe Heid, as many know,

was with Huntington Tri-Village Little League for 37

years, and amazingly servedas president for the last 29years. But anyone knowingJoe knew his purpose wasnever about titles, neverabout him, and always aboutthe kids and families withoutthe fanfare.If his service at our HTV

Little League wasn’t enoughto impress you, how com-

pelling is it to know that thisman also served as a police-man with the NYPD for 21years at the 114 Precint inAstoria, Queens, not too farfrom his hometown of Bay-side? This is how I blessedlyconnected and befriendedthis great man.Almost 20 years ago I

came to live in Huntingtonfrom Astoria with my wifeand two small children aspir-ing to live the Americandream. We quickly fell inlove with our home, ourneighbors, our schools, ourchurch and a lifestyle thatfor us was paradise.Joe Heid was a relic. He

was a man’s man. He wasfrom another generation thatunderstood sacrifice and yethe was John Wayne-like instature. He was our JoeDiMaggio. I’ll never forgetwalking up to him for thefirst time with my then 7-year-old son Nicholas inhand to introduce myself. Heknew we were new to thecommunity, and it seemedlike the minute he heard wewere from Astoria, he tookme by the concession standto introduce us to hisbeloved and beautiful wifeMarion, and the rest was bet-ter than winning a lottery.We were in heaven, and itwas a baseball heaven.Meeting Joe, and serving

almost 10 years as a coachand manager, truly cementedour foundation in Hunting-ton in more ways than Icould ever describe.

I have been honored tomeet the President of theUnited States, governors,mayors, senators, ambassa-dors and foreign dignitaries,but knowing and workingwith Joe Heid has been aprivilege of a lifetime.When I had a dream to

help Greece field anOlympic baseball team forthe Athens 2004 Olympics,no one was more supportivethan Joe. When I started anonprofit (Baseball Acropo-lis) dedicated to bringingbaseball to Greece, manylaughed. Not Joe. He per-sonally recommended me toLittle League International,and from there and 15 yearslater, Greece now has an of-ficial Little League.If it were not for men,

dedicated men like Joe Heid,these dreams, aspirations,and life lessons do not be-come possible. Our commu-nity owes these men ourdeepest thanks, and to thosespecial men and women whocarry on the legacy Joeleaves behind.I thank the good Lord that

Joe Heid came our way, andimpacted thousands andthousands of our lives byleaving a shining and res-olute example of true servantleadership with quiet digni-ty, and integrity befitting adeeply good man, husband,father, grandfather, friend,and yes, a hero.

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

If there was a downside to State Sen-ator John Flanagan’s recent election tothe powerful majority leader’s post, itwas that we would lose the East North-port resident as the chair of the SenateEducation Committee.Problem solved.Flanagan last week appointed fellow

Long Islander, Senator CarlMarcellino, to head the edu-cation committee, ensuringthat a qualified senator with a strong in-terest in doing what’s best for Long Is-land will hold this important post.As chair of that committee for the past

four years, Flanagan has brought a deepconcern and understanding of somecomplex issues and skillfully advocatedfor the Senate majority’s positions witha Governor and Assembly Speakerwhose positions are often not in the bestinterests of Long Islanders.Flanagan has been a leader of the

“Long Island nine” – the senators fromSuffolk and Nassau counties who haveeffectively delivered for Long Island inannual budget negotiations. Perhaps hismost significant role has been ensuringthat Long Island school districts receivea fair share of state education aid.It’s not all about the money, though. In

recent years, the education committeehas grappled with some thorny issues,

including New York’s less-than-stellarrollout of the Common Core curriculumand controversy over standardized test-ing. Both issues have caused an un-precedented divide in the educationcommunity as well as with parents. The“opt out” movement saw record num-bers of students declining to take stan-

dardized tests just a fewweeks ago.Carl Marcellino, whose

fifth senate district includes portions ofthe Town of Huntington, is well-quali-fied to lead the education committee asit faces these challenges. As a formerscience teacher and school administra-tor, he brings understanding and empa-thy for the challenges faced by the edu-cation community. As a long time elect-ed official, he brings understanding ofthe challenges faced by the state as wellas local governments. And – admittedlythis might be a selfish outlook – Mar-cellino brings a record of advocating forthe Long Island region as a whole andHuntington specifically.He’ll tap all of those skills and quali-

fications in the months ahead. Confi-dence in the State Education Depart-ment needs to be rebuilt and the focuskept on providing the best educationpossible to prepare students for the chal-lenges of higher education.

Life&Style

The Wailers, the most legendary Ja-maican band in music history, co-head-lines a show with Rusted Root at TheParamount on Friday, June 5.

The well-known reggae bandformed their nucleus in 1969, whenBob Marley, Bunny Wailer and PeterTosh recruited Aston and Carlton Bar-rett, also known as the Barrett brothers.

Their breakout album “NattyDreads,” released in 1974, was the firstalbum the group released as Bob Mar-ley & the Wailers. In 2014, the groupcelebrated the 30th anniversary of therelease of their most successful album“Legend,” which ranked No. 46 onRolling Stone magazine’s 500 GreatestAlbums of All Time. “Legend” hassold over 30 million copies worldwide,making it the best-selling reggae albumof all time.

Since the pairing with Marley, TheWailers have sold over 250 million al-bums across the globe. Over thedecades, The Wailers have also playedwith other big-name artists such asSting, The Fugees, Stevie Wonder andCarlos Santana.

Marley died 1981 of malignantmelanoma, and in 1987, both PeterTosh and Carlton Barrett died, leaving

the band in the control ofAstonBarrett.Even with the loss of three of mainmembers, the band continued to besuccessful.

In honor of their 25th Anniversary,Rusted Root has been on an extensivenational tour to support their current re-lease, “The Movement.” Famous fortheir unique fusion of acoustic, rockand world music and formed over 20

years ago, Rusted Root has recordedeight albums and sold over three mil-lion records worldwide and haveplayed countless nights on the roadsupporting bands like Santana, TheGrateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band,The Allman Brothers Band, theHORDE Festival and the JimmyPage/Robert Plant reunion tour. Thecurrent tour lineup is Michael Glabicki(lead vocals, guitar), LizBerlin (vocals,percussion), Patrick Norman (vocals,bass, percussion) and Dirk Miller (gui-tar).

The past few years have found Rust-ed Root on a never-ending tour, with amajor career highlight last year of tour-ing with The Wailers.

“They’re legends, they’re icons, it’srock and roll. It brings back memoriesof being 5 years old listening to ‘I Shotthe Sheriff,’” bassist Patrick Normansaid.

Most of us have heard of pop-up shops and restau-rants—shops that open, sometimes only for a day oran evening, in a temporary location—but what abouta pop-up art gallery?

The Northport Arts Coalition (NAC) has teamedup with Firefly Art Gallery to create “Npt Pop-UpGallery,” a weekend art show and sale at 77 Main St.in Northport, happening at least for the month ofJune, at a minimum.

“We could put it all up and 30 days later take it alldown, but if [the space is] not rented by a certaindate, we’re promised another month,” Jennifer Lau,owner of Firefly Gallery, said.

The space was formerly occupied by InteriorViews Studio, an interior design and furniture re-up-holstery business. When owners retired, landlordDennis Tennenbaum found himself with an emptybuilding and an opportunity.

Tennanbaum had worked with the NAC in thepast and knew Executive Director and former Exec-utive Director Daniel and Lauren Paige. Faced withthe empty storefront, he reached out to Lauren andasked if she wanted to use the space until he found

a tenant.“We don’t have a gallery, we don’t have a place to

show our artists. This [seemed like] a great opportu-nity for our artists to hang their work and possiblysell it,” Daniel Paige said.

They took Tennenbaum up on his offer and beganplanning. It was then that they brought in Firefly.

“We’ve been friends with the NAC and involvedin art walks and other events in town, so they cameto us when they had the idea because we had the in-frastructure to run the gallery,” Lau said.

Firefly agreed to duplicate their system and runthe gallery, which will also include space for someof their artists to hang work, according to Lau.

“They’ve offered space to our artists; there’s sev-en full-time artists that are housed here. It will giveus an opportunity, and we’re picturing it as a kind ofbillboard for us,” she added.

The Firefly Gallery is further up the street, at 180Main St. Lau said she hoped having a presence clos-er to the water would encourage people to come upto their gallery.

“It’s happening really quickly; it’s been a fewweeks [since we began]… We put out a call viaemail and within 48 hours I had like 20 artists thatsaid they wanted to participate,” Paige said.

Npt Pop-Up’s tentative hours this June will be 10a.m.-6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 12-5 p.m.on Sundays. The gallery is hosting an opening eventon June 13, from 6-9 p.m. Lau hopes that even if the77 Main St. space gets rented, another will open up.

“We thought, let’s brand it and set it all up, and ifanother space opens up in town and a landlord offersit to us, we’ll be ready,” Lau said.

For United States Marine CorpsCaptain James Ferguson, this pastweekend wasn’t just a Marine Corpsreunion. It was a family reunion.“That amazing experience we had

on our deployment made us a family,and we’re still family, and familieshave reunions,” Ferguson said.That band of brothers, 80 of them

from the India 312 battalion, marchedin formation, chanting Marine Corpscadence, as they participated in theone-mile fun run of the eighth annualChristopher G. Scherer “I Did theGrid” race in East Northport on Satur-day. They came to East Northportfrom a fifth-anniversary retreat inSouthold – an exercise in healing.“It’s important to stay connected

with the family,” Ferguson said.Their presence brought comfort to

Tim Scherer, Chris Scherer’s fatherand organizer of the race. Tim Scher-er said he hadn’t seen a cadencemarchsince Nov. 5, 2004 – the day his sonearned the title “Marine” at Parris Is-land.“It was kind of neat,” he said.Ever since Chris died in service of

his country in the summer of 2007,

felled by the bullet of an enemy sniper,Tim Scherer, his family and the mem-bers of “Team Chris” have organizeda run through the streets of EastNorthport. This year, 1,378 runnersparticipated – the most ever.All funds raised support the Semper

Fi Fund, which funds Christopher G.Scherer Scholarships at NorthportHigh School, and the Cpl. ChristopherG. Scherer Leave No Marine BehindProject, which sends requested sup-plies to Chris’ fellow Marines in the1st Combat Engineer Battalion, aswell as care packages to local soldiersserving overseas and service dogs forreturning veterans.Frank Corrigan, 30, an East North-

port native, completed the twisting,turning 4-mile route of the competi-tive run in just under 21 minutes.Corrigan said this was his first time

doing “the grid;” his family had doneso for several years. The event, hesaid, is a homecoming of sorts and achance to pay tribute to a friend, class-mate and hometown hero who gavehis life in service to his country.Corrigan is likely to join his family

in running the inaugural SuffolkCounty Marathon, which will serve asthe pinnacle of the inaugural six-raceSuffolk County veterans running se-

ries, which the Scherer run launched.The Suffolk County Marathon is

Sept. 13. County Executive Steve Bel-lone, who ran the Scherer race, saidabout 1,800 runners have signed upfor the marathon. The goal is 5,000.After the race was done, South

Huntington Public Library DirectorJoseph Latini sang one of the songsplayed at Chris Scherer’s funeral – “IfI Ever Leave This World Alive,” byFlogging Molly, as he did in the pre-

vious two years. The lyrics are in-scribed on Chris’ tombstone.But this year, one of the Flogging

Mollies joined Latini – guitarist Den-nis Casey, of Greenlawn. One line inthe lyric – “Wherever I am you'll al-ways be/More than just a memory” –rings particularly true in the family’smemories of Chris.“That’s how we live our lives now –

just thinking about him,” Tim Scherersaid.

When stepping into Sip TeaLounge, patrons of Huntington vil-lage are effectively stepping into aworld of their choosing.Transformed by the soothing,

welcoming environment that ownerNicole Basso has carefully crafted,customers to the lounge have noshortage of choices when decidingwhere to land.Whether it be in China with a Pu-

erh tea, in India with an Assam teaor perhaps Sri Lanka with a blacktea – Basso ensures that, along witha hot cup of whichever brew is cho-sen, customers are also served up aone-of-a-kind experience of culture.“The idea is that they’re being

transformed to a place where they

can sense what the culture of the teathat they’re having would be like,”she said.Take, for example, the Pu-erh tea

– a fermented dark tea produced inYunnan province, China. Sip servesthe tea “gongfu” style – a formalChinese tea ceremony – which istypically how it would be served ifpresented on the other side of theglobe.But for Basso and her customers,

it’s presented right here in Hunting-ton.“With a nice walking area, lots of

restaurants and diverse consumers…Huntington is a good place to have ashop like this,” she said.Originally opening its doors in

January 2013, Sip has found a homeat 286 NewYork Ave. The tea houseoffers 40-50 different types of tea, isthe site of several social events suchas open-mic nights and a book cluband, perhaps most importantly, givescustomers the chance to bond over ahot beverage.“There truly is an experience that

goes with drinking tea, it’s not just aquick thing,” she said. “It’s meant to

really be savored and enjoyed.”The feel of the tea house plays in-

to that notion.With an earthy, soothing vibe,

Basso has shaped the epitome of re-laxation in an eco-friendly way withtabletops made from reclaimedwood, stone counters, soy-stainedfloors and no-VOC paint on thewalls.Basso wants customers to feel free

and welcomed from the second theystep inside – even if they’ve neverbefore delved into the world of teadrinking.“We want everybody to feel like

they can find a tea that will satisfythem… No one should feel intimi-dated when they come in here,” Bas-so, a native of Halesite, said. “[Thetype of brew] really depends on theperson, but usually we can findsomething.”Of course, she said, if a customer

truly has no idea which worldthey’d like to get a taste of, Bassoand her staff are more than willingto serve as tour guides on the pathto a perfect cup of warm, relaxingrefreshment.

Sip Tea Lounge owner Nicole Bassohas been serving up a delectable envi-ronment and cups of refreshing tea inHuntington village since January2013.

BUSINESS

I have what I consider theparticular pleasure of working fromhome several days per week. Unlikeothers who feel they must “dress forwork” when toiling in a home office, Irelish the idea of working in a tee shirtand pajama bottoms. That is mywork-at-home uniform. Of course, this stylestatement wouldn’t cut it in a Skypeconference.Most of us, including me, work in a

traditional office.And that’s where theperils, pleasures and pitfalls come in-to play. In that order, here are my ob-servations:Peril #1: To anyone/everyone who

drives on the highways of Long Is-land, there is the dreaded commute. Isit just me, or has traffic gotten evenworse than in years past? Have driv-ers become more inconsiderate, lesslikely to stop at red lights and moreaggressive? Let’s not even mentiontexting.Peril #2: Cough, sneeze, cough,

sneeze.Whowasn’t sick this past win-ter? The stagnant air in so many of-

fices is a breeding ground for illness.Regardless of warnings that peopleshould stay home when they’re sick,most would rather use paid time offfor enjoyment (or for their children’sillnesses).Peril #3: Parking. If you work in a

large office building, in a communitywith limited parking or anywhere elsewithout a reserved parking spot(aren’t those folks lucky?), parking isalways an issue. Add in snow andrain…well, you get the picture.Pleasure #1: For those who work in

large office buildings, there are alsopleasures. Gyms, cafés, ATMs, news-paper stands, kiosks and other ameni-ties make it easy to take care of per-sonal business before and after workand during lunch breaks. Even insmaller buildings, there are oftenbenches and tables to enjoy warmerweather and some are even in park-like settings.Pleasure #2: The value of human

contact cannot be minimized. Speakto most who solely work from homeand they will tell you about feelingisolated, with a lack of socialization.While we’re paid for working while in

the office, there is a great balanceachieved by chatting with one’s co-workers about who won last night’sgame or “Dancing with the Stars”;family time over the weekend; or a fa-vorite new restaurant. Nothing canbeat face-to-face communications foreasing stress and feeling connected tothe rest of the world.Pleasure #3: Keurig coffee maker

and filtered water. Bagels on co-workers birthdays.Pitfall #1: Once inside your compa-

ny, individual workspaces carry amultitude of symbolic meanings. Cor-ner office with your own conferencetable? Ah, the good life. Tiny cubiclenext to the steady flow of activities inthe office kitchen? Wide open spacewith no privacy? Sitting next to theperson who seems to bathe in cologneor aftershave lotion (or could use agood scrubbing)? Subjected to theloud talker, the blow hard (who neverlacks for an opinion on everythingfrom politics to religion to sportsteams), the kvetch, the drama queen?Pitfall #2: Faulty heating and venti-

lation systems have been problematicin every building in which I’ve

worked. Each office building startsout as essentially an empty space.Then individual suites and offices arecreated, blocking air flow and creat-ing challenges for the systems, whichconveniently break down just whenair conditioning is needed the most.Sweater on, sweater off, sweater on,sweater off.So, is there a cure to the office

blues? In a perfect world, I wouldwork minutes from home in a smallbuilding, reachable by bicycle, closeto all my community’s amenities. Un-til then, I will enjoy my work-at-home wardrobe on those days and thecamaraderie of my office mates aftera trying commute on the other days.

Step through the doors of theImperial Meat Company and prepareyourself to enter a world of wonders.Commandeering the kitchen is

chef/co-owner Alexander Chernikov,who brings with him extensive exec-utive and line experience from Tao,11 Madison Park, Riviera Grill andSushi and the Russian Samovar toHuntington.The concept you see on Main

Street is a marriage of Chernikov’sdesire to launch a high-end, elaboratedining concept, and the expertise ofbusiness partners Igor and OksanaChukhriy, owners of Imperial MeatMarket in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.At Imperial Meat Company – or

IMC, as they call it – he is the masterof a spectacular array of meats, farm-fresh vegetables, and exquisite plateslike Rabbit Confit Ragu withSpaetzle and Oven Roasted WhitePheasant.Those are just two examples of

how one should prepare to expect aspin on conventional dining wisdomat IMC – and prepare equally well tobe delighted.Start with the wide array of Wagyu

steaks, known for their intense mar-bling and rich flavors. The skirt steak($33), paired with Montreal sauce, ispeppered perfectly and expertly pre-pared, making for juicy, tendermouthfuls of prime beef, served atopwooden “chopping block” style dish-es. Other cuts include hanger ($33),flank ($35) rib eye ($54) and a NewYork Strip (market price).Another early highlight amidst the

opulent array is IMC’s Lobster Mac& Cheese ($14). In a word, it’s divine– a pitch-perfect meld of lobster,smoked Gouda and big, tender shellsfinished in aromatic white truffle.Innovation runs deep in the menu.

Octopus Carpaccio ($20) is light,bright and fork-tender; paired withherb vinaigrette, teardrop peppers,vinegar shallots and grapefruit pearls,the pairing won over a non-octopus

lover at our table. Meanwhile, lambtenderloin bites ($12) are bite-sizedmorsels of decadence atop fried zuc-chini, topped with a dollop of yogurtsauce and mint pesto.For lighter fare, try the Kale and

Quinoa salad ($12), a dish that zigsand zags to a spicy finish thanks to amedley of candied walnuts, scallions,avocados and roasted corn and fin-ished with a cilantro jalapeno vinai-grette that leaves a tingle on yourtongue.Meanwhile the truffle burrata ($25)

doesn’t merely tingle – it unleashes aflavor explosion on your taste buds,thanks to chive oil and a balsamicreduction, basil pesto, Hawaiian vol-

cano black salt and fig pearls atop abed of red and golden beet salad.A similarly explosive experience

comes in the sharable bone marrowstarter ($18), paired with rye crou-tons, cornichon and pickled garlicstems. Make sure to partake in thepink Himalayan sea salt before youpile the melt-in-your-mouth marrowon, roasted at 550 degrees.The duck platter ($26) is a thing to

behold – a spread of mild duck pro-sciutto and duck salami, as well asthree varieties of foie gras to dive into– creamy pan-seared foie gras; but-tery foie gros Tocrchon topped with apeach amaretto jam; and duckRouliet, a textured, savory treatment.It’s all paired with toast tips, picklesand a lovely kumquat preserve.The light show is something to

behold, too, with vivid décor illumi-nated in a rainbow of LED, punctu-ated by Oliver Gal prints and winebottles glowing beneath your feet as

you take in a cocktail, includingsuch summery creations as pineap-ple-infused vodka and red or whitesangria.With a new $25 bento platter avail-

able for lunches, an $80 Wagyu forTwo menu Monday-Wednesday, anda $100 Wagyu for Two special forThursday-Saturday for seatingsbefore 5:30 p.m., there are manyopportunities to explore the opulentworld of the Imperial Meat Company.Brunch is served from noon-4 p.m.on Saturday and Sunday, and a $20cover gets you unlimited mimosas.

“I’ve made many mistakes in mycareer; you may have read aboutsome of them,” Michael DeLuisesaid to the Five Towns College Classof 2015 with a laugh.Five Towns College celebrated on

Saturday as 159 students received de-grees from the Dix Hills college. Thegraduation was not short of humor orheartfelt remarks, as speeches fromstudents, staff and honorees folded injokes, mitigating the bittersweet na-ture of the afternoon.In a day that featured hours’ worth

of speeches from honorees andaward winners, there were a fewcommon threads among the words ofthose who stepped up to the podium.“The most important secret career

tool pulled from my treasure chest ofknowledge has been my learned ap-preciation for the tremendous posi-tive value of failure. If we can learnfrom failure, then success is justabout guaranteed,” DeLuise.DeLuise, who was the founding

president of the Melville Chamber ofCommerce, received an honoraryDoctor of Humane Letters Degree atthe ceremony and spoke of his manycareer successes and failures, fromthe laughter he initially receivedwhen he and his colleagues proposedthe first automated theatrical box of-fice system—which turned out to bea success—to his failure to seize anopportunity to become involved inthe creation of Pandora Radio.“One thing I have learned is that

most success involves taking a leapof faith… Take those leaps of faith,and when you are faced with failure,

take a deep breath, refocus on the im-portant things in your life, and headstraight back on the course towardsuccess,” he said.Celebrated sports talk show host

Michael Francesca also spoke aboutfailure, rejection and tenacity.“You guys are about to embark in-

to the best game there is—life. Buthere’s why it’s not only the bestgame: it’s the fairest game, because itdoesn’t matter how many times youfail, you can keep coming back. Youonly have to win once. If you findpeople who are incredibly successful,you’ll find that they’ve failed 20, 25times, but have the perseverance tocome back… You can be one for 30and be incredibly successful,” he said.Degree honoree, director, actress,

conductor, and all-around theaterbuff and educator Ellen Michelmoreechoed Francesca’s sentiments onrejection.“Today you are leaving a safe en-

vironment… Rejection happensmore often than not, self-doubt getsits ugly little earworm into yourbrain and keeps telling you that youaren’t good enough—you need to fo-cus on always learning and betteringyourself at your craft,” she said.Earning some cool points for the

group, “the songwriter’s drummer”Liberty DeVitto was honored with a

Doctor of Music Degree. DeVittoplayed in Billy Joel’s first band andhas played with other musicians suchas Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks,Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, EltonJohn, Meatloaf—the list goes on.“When the darkness has you, and

you don’t know how to get to thelight, trust your instincts, trust youreducation…get out there in theworld and create wonderful things,be passionate in everything that youdo, and remember, life, like music, iflived or played without passion, isjust noise,” he said.The afternoon was not without its

difficult moments, as the collegepresented the family of former stu-dent Tejan Edwards, 22, with aposthumous Bachelor’s Degree inMusic Education. Edwards, of Elms-ford, was killed in a car accident inJanuary. His family presented thecollege with a check to start a schol-arship fund in his name.“We’re going to continue this as

long as we can, because we want tokeep his name and his legacy alive,”his mother said.Amid the ups and downs, valedic-

torian Sonia Goldberg spoke of whythey all pursued careers in the arts.“We keep on going, because at the

end of the day, there is magic in whatwe do,” she said.

The family of Tejan Edwards received a posthumous degree and presented FiveTowns College with a check to begin a scholarship fund in his honor. Edwardsdied at age 22 in a car accident earlier this year.

in and all of the tar burned in withevery object we own.”Shea said the couple had lived in

the complex for seven years after shewon the townhouse in a lottery sever-al years ago. In the days followingthe fire, the couple was searching fortheir two cats; they located the pairand said the felines were recovering.The couple’s dog, Chloe, is also safe.Though the couple is devastated,

their “guardian angel” has emerged,Shea said.To help her friends, Liz Ward has

assembled an online fundraiser usingwebsite GoFundMe: www.go-fundme.com/chrisandcaitlyn. Wardis also in the process of planning anart benefit – expected to be hosted atTheWhale’s Tale in Northport some-time in June or July – which shehopes will include contributionsfrom local artists, such as Shea, andsponsorships from local businessesof the Town of Huntington.“They’re both amazing people…

so as soon as we found out whathappened, we discussed what wecould do to help them out,” Ward,

who works with Burke at the AppleRetail Store in the Walt WhitmanShops, said. “I thought this wouldbe an amazing opportunity to helpthem out and also to help somesmall businesses.”Ward, a graduate of Harborfields

High School, said Burke has alwaysbeen the type of person to give backand help out when others are in need.She wanted to do the same for him inhis and Shea’s time of need.As of press time on Tuesday,

$1,525 has been donated over thecourse of three days by 40 people.

“The response has been overwhelm-ing,” Shea, originally from Hunting-ton, said of the fundraising campaign.“Liz stepped up and has done every-thing perfectly. So many people havecontributed; it’s funny because some-times you don’t realize just how manypeople you have in your life untilsomething like this happens.”Donations can also be made by

visiting www.chrisandcaitlyn.com.Art donations and items for the up-coming art benefit are also being ac-cepted; for more information, [email protected].

CAMP E&First thing’s first… The ACT and

SAT are different tests that measuresimilar but distinct concepts. TheACTmeasures achievement related tohigh school curricula, while the SATmeasures general verbal and quantita-tive reasoning.Secondly: Know that colleges will

accept either the SAT or ACT.So which should you take?It's all about the numbers. Some

students end up scoring substantiallyhigher on the SAT; others do better onthe ACT. In lieu of a crystal ball,speak with your teachers and coun-selor to help you determine which testis a better fit with your abilities.

How do the tests compare?• ACT questions tend to be more

straightforward.• ACT questions are often easier to

understand on a first read. On theSAT, you may need to spend moretime figuring out what you're beingasked before you can start solving theproblem.• The SAT has a stronger emphasis

on vocabulary. If you're an ardentwordsmith, you'll love the SAT. Ifwords aren't your thing, you may dobetter on the ACT.• The ACT has a science section,

while the SAT does not.• The ACT tests more advanced

math concepts. In addition to basicarithmetic, algebra I and II, andgeometry, the ACT tests your knowl-edge of trigonometry, too. That said,theACT math section is not necessar-ily harder, since many students findthe questions to be more straightfor-ward than those on the SAT.• TheACTWriting Test is optional,

but is required by many schools.• The SAT essay was required and

was factored into your writing score.The ACT writing test is optional. Ifyou choose to take it, it is not includ-ed in your composite score— schoolswill see it listed separately. Many col-leges require the writing section of theACT, so be sure to check with theschools where you are applying be-fore opting out.• The SAT is broken up into more

sections.• On the ACT, you tackle each con-

tent area (English, Math, Reading andScience) in one big chunk, with theoptional writing test at the end. On theSAT, the content areas (Critical Read-ing, Math and Writing) are broken upinto 10 sections, with the required es-say at the beginning. You do a littlemath, a little writing, a little criticalreading, a little more math, etc. When

choosing between the SAT and ACT,ask yourself if moving back and forthbetween content areas confuses youor keeps you energized.• The ACT is more of a “big pic-

ture” exam. College admissions offi-cers care about how you did on eachsection of the SAT. On the ACT,they're usually most concerned withyour composite score. So if you'reweak in one content area but strong inothers, you could still end up with avery goodACT score and thus make astrong impression with the admis-sions committee.

Something to keep in mind, howev-er, is that the College Board is launch-ing a redesigned SAT in March 2016and a redesigned PSAT/NMSQT andPSATTM 8/9 in October 2015. Moreclosely aligned to challenging class-room work, the redesigned assess-ments will focus on the few thingsthat evidence shows matter most forcollege and career readiness. The ex-ams are supposed to be clearer andmore open than any in the CollegeBoard’s history.The redesign affects the way the

test is structured, administered, timedand scored. An optional essay, fewermultiple choice questions, and nopenalty for wrong answers are justsome of the new features. You can al-so expect an increased emphasis oncritical thinking, problem-solving,and data analysis.The new SAT will return to the

1600-point scale, with the math andreading sections scored between200 and 800, and the optional essayevaluated separately. The ¼-pointpenalty for wrong answers will bediscontinued.The redesigned SATwill be 3 hours

long, whereas the current version ofthe SAT takes about 3 hours and 45minutes. If students choose to do theoptional essay, the exam will extendto 3 hours and 50 minutes.

The New SAT: Evidence-Based Read-ing and WritingThis part of the test will be 100

minutes long; reading will be 65 min-utes, and writing/language, 35 min-utes. Now, what is called “CriticalReading” is covered in three sectionsof 25 minutes, 25 minutes, and 20minutes, amounting to 70 minutes to-tal, and writing is covered with an es-say and two multiple choice sectionsof 25 minutes, 20 minutes, and 10minutes for 55 minutes total.The new reading part of the test will

contain 52 questions on four single

passages and 1 set of paired passages.Now, critical reading consists of sen-tence completion and passage-basedmultiple-choice problems from 67questions.

The New SAT: MathematicsThe redesigned math sections ofthe exam will contain two sections.The first is 55 minutes, 37 questionswith a calculator allowed. The secondis 25 minutes, 20 questions with nocalculator allowed.Now the SAT math test has threesections: 25 minutes, 25 minutes, and20 minutes with 54 questions totaland a calculator is allowed in all.On the new SAT, there will be 45multiple choice questions, 11 grid-ins(each worth 1 point), and one extend-ed thinking grid-in question worth 4points. Now there are 44 multiplechoice questions and 10 grid-ins, for atotal of 54 questions.On the new SAT, many of the ques-tions will focus on solving algebraicequations, inequalities, and polyno-mials. Graphing andmodeling will al-so be important, as will percentages,

proportions, rates, ratios, and unitconversions. Now, just over one-thirdof the math section focuses on alge-braic equations and inequalities, and alittle less than a quarter of the mathsection tests percentages and propor-tions. Graphing and modeling doesnot seem to be tested extensively.Finally, on the new SAT, only sixquestions will focus on geometry. Theareas covered could include arclength, sector area, trigonometry,complex numbers and volume. Now,there are 14-16 questions on geome-try and measurement.

When selecting a prep plan, youshould choose one that best addressesyour score goals, while providing ad-equate time to balance your scheduleand studies. Most colleges and uni-versities are still deciding whetherthey will require the essay in 2016.Check with your target schools to seewhat they require or will review aspart of their admissions decisions.

An underdog; a long shot; an un-known – time and time again, Green-lawn’s Chris Algieri has been over-looked. While not ideal, thesemantras haven’t slowed the 31-year-old professional boxer – if anything,he’s embraced them.“That’s what I’ve been my whole

career: an underdog,” Algieri said.“I’m a kid from Long Island; I’m notsupposed to be boxing.”Upset victories over Emmanuel

Taylor and Ruslan Provodnikov haveproved that wrong, however, as Al-gieri’s name has become relevant butperhaps not yet respected.As his Friday-night title bout at the

Barclays Center in Brooklyn drawsnearer, in the minds of Algieri’s crit-ics, he’s facing an uphill battleagainst Amir Khan.Though on Monday, as Algieri

trained at Bellmore KickboxingMMA, he said that he’s ready to shiftthe notion of “Algieri” being thename of a sleeper.“You’ve got a guy like Amir Khan

who has never been the underdog;he’s supposed to win every fight thathe’s been in, [but] he has three loss-es. The mentality shift, I think, is animportant aspect of this fight,” hesaid.After enduring training camp in

Florida with his new trainer JohnDavid Jackson, Algieri was back onLong Island for fight week, whichwill culminate with the trip to theBarclays Center – the venue wherehe defeated Provodnikov and earnedthe World Boxing Organization(WBO) Light Welterweight champi-onship last year. Algieri (20-1, 8

KOs) was forced to vacate that titlewhen he went on to fight MannyPacquiao in November 2014, but an-other title opportunity presents itselfas the Greenlawn native can claimthe World Boxing Council (WBC)Silver Welterweight title with a vic-tory on May 29.In order to do that, Algieri said,

it’ll be a test of his endurance.“[Khan] is a difficult fight for any-

body – he’s fast, he’s got a big ama-teur background and multiple worldchampionship fights, so he’s goingto come out fast like he alwaysdoes,” Algieri said. “He’s a sprinter,but I have great endurance. He’s afast [fighter], but I have great tim-ing. Those are my advantages [and]I’m going to try and capitalize onthose all night long.”Standing at 5-foot-10, Algieri also

has a physical advantage over the 5-foot-9 Khan – including a one-inchadvantage in reach, which Algierialso holds.Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) is 28 years

old and hails from Bolton, England.Of the three losses that Khan hassuffered, two of them have been tofighters that held an advantage inreach over him – Lamont Petersonon Dec. 10, 2011 and BreidisPrescott on Sept. 6, 2008.Though small leads, they could

play a factor in the fight, Algierisaid.“He’s not used to being the short-

er guy,” he said. “It’s not a big heightand reach difference, but he’s notused to that. He’s used to being theguy with the advantage so that couldplay a part from his aspect – but I’mjust going to do what I do.”Even though the odds are against

Algieri – VegasInsider.com listedAl-gieri as a +900 underdog on Sunday– the “hometown” crowd of the Bar-clays Center should almost assured-ly give Algieri a motivational advan-tage come Friday. With that, Algieri

said, a sense of familiarity hasemerged as he compared the upcom-ing Khan fight to that of the Provod-nikov fight, which will have takenplace a year ago come June 14.“There’s an extra level of excite-

ment when you’re at home,” Algierisaid. “To be in my home gym for thefirst time in five-and-a-half weeks,there’s just a sense of familiarity.And that level of excitement withyour home people being able towatch you – they’re going to be rightthere in the crowd. It just ups thelevel of fight week, which is intenseto begin with.”Algieri will look to make some

more magic happen at the BarclaysCenter on Friday as the fight is set tobe televised by SpikeTV beginningat 9 p.m. EST.“I’ve got that feeling again,” he

said, “[there’s] another magicalnight ahead.”
