In calling last week for the secondreview in less than two years of NewYork’s implementation of the Com-mon Core program, the president ofthe Half Hollow Hills Teacher Associ-ation said Friday he believes Gov. An-drew Cuomo is “leaving public educa-tion in a sense of constant turbulence.”“The governor can keep calling forreview, after review, after review, andwe’ll continue to go through thischaos,” Richard Haase, president ofthe association, which maintains morethan 1,200 members, said Friday.“But, at this point, we already knowwhere we should be going. The gov-ernor is just reluctant to admit that.”Haase sensed that reluctancewhen, in a statement released Sept.3, Cuomo maintained his support forthe “goal” of Common Core stan-dards, but also admitted implementa-
tion by the state Education Depart-ment has been “deeply flawed.”In an attempt to remedy that, Cuo-mo said a “comprehensive” review ofthe state’s implementation will beconducted by a panel consisting of thenew state Commissioner of EducationMaryEllen Elia, education experts,teachers, parents and legislative rep-resentatives in time for the governor’sState of the State Address in January.The call is similar to that of oneCuomo made in his 2014-15 budgetpresentation, released Jan. 21, 2014,where he cited Common Core imple-mentation as flawed and called for areview by a panel of legislators andeducation experts. “We must have standards for NewYork’s students, but those standardswill only work if people – especiallyparents – have faith in them and intheir ability to educate our children,”the governor said the Sept. 3 release.“The current Common Core pro-
gram does not do that. It must.”Haase agreed that the program is-n’t accomplishing what it’s set out todo and, instead, said it’s putting astress on students by forcing them tosit “in a room for six hours at a time,for an assessment that has no bene-fits and never gives useful data.”“No one can possibly say that’sgood for the students,” he said. “Weneed to take a serious look at thelength and usefulness of these as-sessments.”In examining figures provided bythe Half Hollow Hills School Dis-trict earlier this year, it appears par-ents across the district agree withHaase. During the 2014-15 schoolyear, Half Hollow Hills saw 1,689students, or about 45 percent, refusestate ELA testing and 1,814, or 48percent, refuse state math testing.According to documentation on thedistrict’s website, as of June, the dis-trict enrolled 3,780 students in
grades 3-8, the grades eligible forstate testing.Haase suggested that altering thetests might help ease concerns.“We can have rigorous, shorter as-

Town of Huntington officials havecompleted the first phase of safetyimprovements to a dangerous stretchof Woodbury Road, which were rec-ommended in a traffic-calming studyfollowing two fatal accidents that oc-curred on the stretch since 2013, in-cluding Melville’s Andrew Garafalo,21, on June 25, 2013.Huntington Highway Department
workers trimmed trees and upgradedor replaced road signs to increasevisibility on a 2.5-mile stretch ofWoodbury Road - which was the fo-cus of the study - fromMain Street inHuntington village to Pulaski Roadin Cold Spring Harbor.Town officials say 165 bigger road
signs were installed to increase visi-bility. New turn and reverse turn signshave also replaced curve and reversecurve signs, bringing the signage up tothe Federal HighwayAdministration’smost recent standards. Signs were al-so upgraded to diamond-grade reflec-tivity and diamond-grade reflective in-
serts were installed on channel posts.“These were the measures we
could implement most quickly whilewe conduct the additional studiesnecessary before instituting others,”Huntington Supervisor FrankPetrone said in a press release.Huntington Councilwoman Susan
Berland, who has long-sponsored ef-forts to improve safety on WoodburyRoad, called the measures “an im-portant first step.”“We appreciate the community in-
put used to help the town prioritizethe traffic calming measures,”Berland said. “We look forward tocontinuing to work with the commu-nity to address their concerns.”Continuing efforts to address traf-
fic safety in the area, last month theHuntington town board voted to con-duct skid testing of the surface as-phalt at selected locations, designpavement markings and create a planfor rumble strips.Huntington Highway Superinten-
dent Peter Gunther said in the release,“[I] look forward to continuing to workwith theTownBoard on the next steps.”

The youngacademy student walked past them toretrieve some milk for her cerealwhen she turned to see what the oth-ers were watching: the Pentagon hadbeen attacked. But that was nothingcompared to what she saw next.“I was on the way out and that’s

Her un-cle, an employee at the CantorFitzgerald Investment Bank, had per-ished in the attacks on the twin tow-ers of theWorld Trade Center in NewYork City where his office was locat-ed.

Action Taken OnPowdered Caffeine
DEAR EDITOR:I tip my hat to the Food
and Drug Administration forfinally taking enforcementaction against companiesdistributing powdered caf-feine. With no FDA policies
regulating the product, con-sumers have been at risk. Amere teaspoon of the deadlyproduct is roughly equal to28 cups of coffee and a ta-blespoon can prove fatal.
Late last year, followingthe tragic deaths of other-wise healthy young men,Logan Stiner and WadeSweatt, a delegation was
formed to testify beforeFDA officials to urge themto tame the Wild West mar-ket of caffeine products forthe safety of our youth. Ijoined that delegation, alongwith the parents of the youngmen.
The work of our delegationbears fruit with this recent ac-tion taken by the FDA. Today
I am thinking about LoganandWade. May their familiesand loved ones find comfortin this well-deserved andnecessary outcome. This ac-tion is a step in the right di-rection to ensure that no oth-er family will have to suffersuch a senseless loss.
The action taken by theFDA came in the form of en-forcement letters warningfive distributers that continu-ing sales of powdered caf-feine as labeled will result inaction, including the poten-tial seizure of the productsunder the law. The delega-tion is hoping that the FDA’snext step will be to ban theproduct.
Suffolk County has al-ready approved a law to pro-tect our most vulnerablefrom this toxic product. I.R.1727, a Local Law that pro-hibits the sale and distribu-tion of powdered caffeine toindividuals under the age of18 in Suffolk County wasunanimously approved bythe legislature in October2014.

As schoolchildren were readying forthe start of a new school year, Gov. An-drew Cuomo made an unanticipated an-nouncement. The governor has directedthe state Education Department to re-view state academic standards and makerecommendations for change.While the announcement may have
been unexpected, the unrestthat prompts the review iswidely known. Attemptingto implement national standards for aca-demic achievement, the state adopted aCommon Core curriculum. It bungledthe implementation, and students faredpoorly on the first tests administered.Critics of Common Core also criticizedthe emphasis on testing, saying studentssimply were being asked to spend toomuch time taking tests.The backlash was stronger than any-
one anticipated. An “opt out” movementgained traction and in some districtsnearly half of all students declined to sitfor the tests.The governor’s call for change was
clearly necessary, and while some maycriticize it as being too little, too late, itoffers the opportunity for the educationcommunity to make positive change.Few disagree with the need for academ-
ic standards, and those standards requiretesting. The question is how much em-phasis should be placed on testing andachieving standardized goals, and howmuch should be placed on individualizededucation programs. We should teachour children to love learning. We don’tthink anyone ever got that from taking
standardized tests.One controversial point was
notably absent from the gover-nor’s announcement: the use of students’test results as a measure of teachers’ suc-cess. The governor wants teachers to beheld accountable, but emphasizing stu-dent performance as a measure has itspitfalls. Perhaps most importantly it candiscourage even the best teachers fromworking with the most vulnerable stu-dents.We agree that standards are necessary
for both students’ and teachers’ perform-ance, but rushing another poorly consid-ered program into place is not the an-swer. Educators and local administratorsmust have a voice, and the impact on stu-dents must be a consideration in whatev-er is implemented.We’ve seen disastrous results from
rushing the process. Let’s take the timeto get it right.

from an owner looking to sell theproperty, Kellogg’s Dolls’ Houses ismoving three doors down from itslongtime home at 49 Main St. inCold Spring Harbor and taking upspace in the rear of Heritage Candle& Home at 29 Main St. “It all happened at the 11th hour,”
said Kellogg, owner of therenowned doll houses companystarted by her late husband, Ned.The company had been at its previ-ous location for more than 30 years.Up until Saturday, she was unable tofind a new space in Cold Spring
Harbor and planned to close shop atleast temporarily and put her dollhouses in storage.Kellogg said Brad Weitzman, son
of the landlord at her former loca-tion, started moving her doll housesover to the new spot for her lastMonday.“It has not been a stressful move.
He’s been a gentleman. I have tosay, civility is not dead. Some ofthose houses are over two 200pounds.”At Heritage Candle, Kellogg will
have a work area and a selling area,as well a space for a doll house inthe window.She said she’ll likely open later
next week, Kellogg said. “This will be a good pairing of
the two older time shops.”

Driving east on 25A, there’s arestaurant that one could easily miss.But if you happen to come upon it,Macadoo’s Grille in Northport isworth the stop. Formerly occupiedby Smoking Sloes, Nicole Offermantook over and established Macadoo’sGrille four years ago as an extensionof Batata Cafe, which sells breakfastand lunch, along with desserts anddrinks.From the outside, Macadoo’s
Grille is a casual eatery that servesburgers and wings. But the menu isquite surprising once you decide todine in.Starters like the smokehouse slider
made from pulled pork, bacon andbarbecue sauce ($7.95), loaded pota-to skins with pulled pork ($6.95) andgumbo with spicy andouille sausage,shrimp and rice ($5.95 for 12 ounces,$7.95 for 16 ounces) are great tochoose from. The barbecue sauce ofthe pulled pork from the smokehouseslider is not too sweet and combinedwith the saltiness of the bacon,brings out great flavors. Combiningthe potato with pulled pork createsgreat texture and makes standardpotato skins seem boring. Thegumbo has a slight kick that youdon’t taste until it’s passed downyour throat. The combination of theandouille sausage, shrimp and ricecreates a hearty dish, but not tooheavy to weigh you down.
For entrees, Mac’s sandwich melt($8.95), and pulled pork quesadilla($8.95) are great choices. The sand-wich melt, made with breaded chick-en cutlet, bacon, sauteed onions andmushrooms, is a great combinationdue to the crispiness of the chickenand bacon. Adding Swiss cheese tothe sandwich may not be that excit-ing, but adding onions and mush-rooms elevate the flavors to anotherlevel. The barbecue flavor of thepulled pork quesadilla withcaramelized onions and cheddar mayseem too heavy, but instead bringsout the sweetness of the onions andcreaminess of the cheese.If sandwiches and quesadillas are
light for your appetite, consider hav-ing one of Macadoo’s burgers. Whatmakes these burgers different from
any old burgers are the “styles”patrons have in creating their meal.This process starts with choosingeither ground beef, ground turkey,veggie burger or chicken breast.Then you can choose a style.You canorder the classic style (withoutcheese, $5.95; with cheese, $6.95).But if you’re more adventurous, youmay want to try the Mexican Mamawith jalapenos, guacamole, pepperjack cheese and chipotle sauce($8.95), or the Cuban with pickles,grilled ham, swiss cheese and honeymustard sauce.For patrons with very hearty
appetites, you can’t go wrong witheither the baby-back ribs($12.95/half rack, $22.95/full rack)or the pulled pork dinner ($12.95).The baby-back ribs fall off the bone,
Comfort FoodWith A Twist
Macadoo’s Grille has been at 847 Fort Salonga Road for the past four years.
Smokehouse sliders, pulled pork quesadilla and jerk-seasoned fries are greaterstarter options.
are filled with flavor and not drippingin sauce. The pulled pork is servedwith sauce but is not covered with it,so one can taste the tanginess of thesauce, but not drown in it.If you’re looking to add sides to
you meal, the ones to choose are thejerk-seasoned fries with sweet mapledip ($5.45) and the macaroni and
cheese ($4.95). The fries are sea-soned with just the right amount ofspiciness, crispy, but not greasy andthe maple dip lessens the kick of theseasoning. The macaroni and cheeseis made with four types of cheeses,but is quite light and creamy.In addition to sandwiches and que-
sadillas, Macadoo’s offers wraps andsalads as healthier options.Any sand-wich or quesadilla can be ordered asvegetarian options and according toOfferman, vegan options are in theworks to be served soon.For Offerman, opening Macadoo’s
Grille four years ago stemmed fromher love of creating and combiningfoods that may not seem to go welltogether initially, but result in amaz-ing dishes. What does she want herpatrons to come away with after din-ing at Macadoo’s” To know that theyhave “a casual, comfortable placewhere great food is the main focus.”

In an earlier column,the long tradition of sailand power boat racingwas discussed. This pop-
ular sport has encompassed all sizesand varieties of vessels, fromdinghies to sleek, powerfull2-meter sloops. And,when not racing,most of these boatsserve as day sailorsor cruisers for fam-ily and friends.On Long Island wa-ters, every weekend, smallsailboats dot the horizon, sails un-furled, competing in local regattas.Most of these are class boats, of par-ticular dimensions and sail area.These class boats are identified by
special logos and colorful namesthat symbolize the feelings andhopes of their racer-owner. Thenames reflect speed, power, chal-lenge and graceful movement. Someare named after birds, like the 14-foot Blue Jay or the 15-foot Snipe.There are also Sailfish and Sunfish.
Others reflect the powerof nature, like the18-foot Light-ning or the pop-ular Comet.Still others beara logo of leader-
ship, such as the26-foot Commander, or
the Triton.Early in the 20th century, boatclasses also tended to have unusualnames, like the 1920s, 1930s suicide

Hops and history go together likepeanut butter and jelly.That’s the thinking behind Hunt-
ington Historical Society’s monthlyhistoric walking tour and pub crawl.Albeit partially through beer gog-
gles, patrons can get a glimpse intoHuntington village’s past with thetour led by Town Historian RobertHughes, who divulges the village’s
intricate history, some of which isn’talways widely known – not even bylifelong residents.“It’s funny, I’ve lived in the Town
of Huntington my whole life and Inever really knew all of the historybehind it,” Bryan Ruben, 43, saidduring the most-recent tour lastweek. “Sometimes you don’t get thechance to stop and smell the roses.”Available through warm-weather
months, the crawl typically begin atthe village’s Soldiers and Sailors Me-
morial Building as patrons then strutdownMain Street with Hughes paint-ing a mental picture of the streets asthey looked many years ago.Of course, the beers and beverages
quickly come into play as the tourmakes stops around the village atsome of Huntington historic pubs.Not even there, though, does the his-tory stop flowing. Hughes details thehistory behind Huntington’s oldestdrinkeries, adding a bit of “hoptical”
history to the mix.“I expected to learn about Hunt-
ington and I really did, I’m reallyhappy we did this,” said Alanna Rus-so, who joined the tour as a team-building exercise with her co-work-ers from the Huntington YMCA.The society’s final tour of the sea-
son is Oct. 1. Space is limited, so call631-427-7045, ext. 401 to reserve aspot. Tickets are $10 for societymembers and $15 for non-members.

ArchivesThe Earthquake(Sept. 15, 1848)An earthquake was felt in Huntington and the rest of Long Island, New York Cityand New Jersey on Friday, Sept. 8, 1848. According to various reports collectedby The Long-Islander, the quake took place at 11:22 p.m.
First Street Lamp in Huntington village(Sept. 13, 1850)Huntington residents were “treated to something new in the line of villageimprovements” in recent days with the suspension of “noble” lamp in front ofthe Suffolk Hotel, “which made the vicinity assume quite the city air.” The Long-Islander story noted: “This lamp and light is none of your fire fly imitations, onlyto render darkness visible, but is a handsome affair.”
Firemen Parade (Sept. 15, 1860)Huntington Village was visited by a party of firemen and their families fromBridgeport, Connecticut on Sept. 14. The 200-person excursion group paradedthrough town accompanied by live music as they displayed their fire-fightingmachines.

Led by Town Historian Robert Hughes, right, the tour begins with a walk throughHuntington’s oldest public cemetery, the Old Burying Ground, found behind theSoldiers and Sailors Memorial Building. When the British occupied Huntingtonduring the American Revolution from 1776-1783, the cemetery was also the siteof Fort Golgotha.
Described by Hughes as an “X-ray of what’s inside,” this mural was painted onthe side of Finnegan’s by Phillip Jordan in 1978 as a tribute to Huntington vil-lage’s 103-year-old bar and the first stop on the evening’s pub crawl.

brance for the deceased.She reached out to the Travis Man-
ion Foundation, a non-profit organi-zation named in honor of Madden’sformer academy classmate who be-came an officer in the Marines, serv-ing two tours in Iraq before beingkilled by a sniper in April 2007.The foundation founded the 9/11
Heroes Run race series, which givescommunities the opportunity tocome together to support local vet-erans, first responders, troops, andmilitary families by allowing themto participate in a 5K run and a 1-mile fun walk.“I saw a posting for the Travis
Manion Foundation on Facebook andI reached out to them, realizing thatthe 9/11 Heroes Run, anyone couldstart one up in their hometown,” saidMadden, who quickly moved to or-ganize a race in Huntington.Since May, Madden has been pro-
moting the event, which will be ob-served at Mill Dam Park in Hunting-ton Beach on Sept. 12 from 9 to 10:30a.m.Madden says 300 runners have
registered, and that she’s raised$15,000 towards her $50,000 goal.A memorial service will be held
before the start of the run, and Hunt-ington High School senior MadelineShea will be singing the national an-them at the day’s event. About 50percent of proceeds from the racewill benefit Vet Dogs, an organiza-tion that provides disabled veteranswith service dogs.Madden says she’s been over-
whelmed by undertaking the re-sponsibilities that come with organ-izing an event of this scope in suchas short time, but she says it will beworth it in the end.
Residents will be able to ride theHuntington Area Rapid Transit busservice free for two consecutiveweeks starting later this month.The “Fare Free Weeks,” author-
ized by the town board in July, are inconjunction with International CarFree Day on Sept. 22, and part of aneffort to promote HART bus lines,the only town-operated bus system.Admission will be free Sept. 21-26and Sept. 28-Oct. 3.
Town spokesperson A.J. Cartersaid that in 2014, nearly 150,000people rode the HART busses, orabout 12,500 HART passengersmonthly. That doesn’t include the the40,113 passengers who used HARTparatransit services, a curb-to-curbride share program HART offers tothose with special needs.
The town has invited sponsors tohelp offset the revenue lost from thetwo free fare weeks. It has raisedjust under $3,000 so far, on par withwhat the town aimed to raise, Cartersaid. Sponsors include Covanta En-ergy, Stop & Shop, Target, TheParamount, Renaissance Down-towns, Clever Devices, the Hunting-
ton Township Chamber of Com-merce and the Huntington StationBusiness Improvement District.The free rides on HART buses
are only available on fixed routes.Paratransit is not a part of the pro-motion. For details on routes,schedules and a route map, visithuntingtonny.gov/HART.

business, depressions, recessions andmany other factors. Bottom line is toask yourself, “How much time do Ihave to be in the market?”If you are buying a house or any-
thing that you will need your moneyfor in the next three to five years, donot be in the market. Keep your mon-ey in “safe” vehicles. If you will need
the money in 15 to18 years for edu-cation purposes, then you have to be“in” the markets to find growth ofyour assets. Just be sure to pay atten-tion to these investments and reduceyour exposure slowly to the stockmarkets as you get closer to needingthese funds.If you are looking toward retire-
ment in 20, 30, 40 years or more, you
must be invested in the stock market.Again remembering to move some ofyour market exposure to less volatileinvestments such as fixed income ve-hicles as you get closer to the time ofneed. Be very aware that at retire-ment you could well have 20 to 30 ormore years of life expectancy, so youstill need your funds to grow to off-set inflation and taxes and keep yourmoney at a level, which will give youthe income you will need for a com-fortable retirement.As you can see, there are many
moving parts to managing a good in-vestment portfolio. You may be onewho wants total control of your port-folios. However, do you have thetime, desire and knowledge to do thisproperly? It is a decision you must
make. You can always change yourmind and the company overseeingyour future!Emotional investing is rather a bad
habit. Kicking it is not easy. Your fi-nancial advisor should be holdingyour hands and helping you focus onyour long-term goals by discussionof what you can control, such as theamount of money you invest on aregular basis. Don‘t forget the oppor-tunity of an IRA or Roth IRA. Resistthe urge to react to the ‘round-the-clock financial headlines. Emotionshave a place in our lives, but notwhen it comes to investing. Profes-sional help may be the best way toensure logic and strategy outweighemotion in reaching investment deci-sions.
Asmarkets ride, avoid emotional investing
sessments that still give meaning-ful feedback and provide useabledata,” he said. “I don’t think any-one has a problem with that.”Another fix, Haase suggested, is
to decrease or remove the link be-tween high-stakes testing andteacher evaluations, a comment on apolicy that’s expected to be imple-
mented in NewYork later this year.Cuomo did not touch upon that
policy in his statement.“At this point, even a reduction
would be a step in the right direc-tion,” Haase said. “That will help tostart restoring trust with publicschools, administrators and parentsso that we can continue to work to-gether for the needs of the students.”

four-piece band was just a bunch ofwork friends coming together fromdifferent musical backgrounds.They’ve since had two tours aroundthe country and two studio albums.Roenbeck, of Centereach, brings
his upbringing based in hip-hop,slam poetry and rap battles, to laydown a lyrical flow that spans versesand serves as a foil to the band’s har-monies.There, Nick Loiodic, of Smith-
town, comes in as the band’s primarylead vocalist, with a powerful voicereminiscent of his taste for soul and
Motown and history in musical the-atre. Loiodic is also Oogee Wawa’sdrummer.The band found its home, however,
under the sun on the beach, such asthose that the group grew up with onLong Island. In adding his affinity forreggae to the mix, guitarist/vocalistJPAceto, of Baiting Hollow, help de-velop Oogee Wawa’s relaxed, laid-back vibe that goes best with sandbetween the toes.But there’s an edge there, too – an
edge that might be attributed to theband’s bassist/vocalist Chad Chad-wick, of Selden, who has a back-
ground in punk rock bands. Thatmost apparent, Roenbeck said, onOogee Wawa’s second studio album,“More Sand Than Money.”The edge is being lessened, how-
ever, in favor of Oogee Wawa’s laid-back roots for the band’s upcomingthird album, which is shooting for arelease date come the end of summer2016.In the meantime, Oogee Wawa
turned has its focus to history and itsfavorite venue, The Paramount.“Even during sound check, when
you walk to the edge of the stage, youget a rush. And then, when you’re
playing in front of 1,500 people, it’seven more of a rush, one that no drugin the world could possibly giveyou,” Roenbeck said.On the upcoming show, Roenbeck
added, “we’re definitely going tobring a high energy and a differentshow than people might expect fromus. It’s going to be a night of positiv-ity and good vibes.”To get in on those vibes, tickets can
be purchased at the box office orfrom paramountny.com for $10-$25.Doors open at 7 p.m. on Sept. 26.The show is scheduled to start at 8p.m.

class, the popularity of which spreadfrom Huntington to nationwide.A most unusually named class of
boat was popular in Huntingtonaround 1914. Articles in The Long-Islander and Yachting Magazine de-scribe a new fleet of one-designsmall sailboats that are “…natty andable little crafts…just the boats for
fishing and speed contests…suitedto these waters, as low water will notbother them and tide and wind notbeing necessary for their propul-sion.” These “little ships” were de-signed by Frederick Lord, one of thefounders of Huntington Yacht Cluband were built by Henry B. Nevins atCity Island. They were auxiliarysloops, 23-foot-long with a 2.5-foot
draft, equipped with 3-horsepowerPalmer engines. This new class wasdecided to be designated as theHuntington Dancing Class. Eachboat was to be named after a populardance with dance names placed intoa hat for selection by each owner.Among the boat names were: TheDip, The Bunny Hug, The Tango,The Turkey Trot, The Minuet and the
Tarantella.Small sailboat racing and family
boating fun remain a cherished tradi-tion on our waters, with new formsof challenging water sports along-side the traditional ones. Whetherracing on Tango, or enjoying a briskpaddleboard or kayaking experience,boating remains one of our bestloved activities.

“Newhouse: All the Glitter, Power and Glory of America'sRichest Media Empire and the Secretive Man Behind It,”which is about Sy Newhouse, the owner of the Conde Nastmedia empire. Maier wrote a pilot treatment focusing onhow two media icons, Tina Brown and AnnaWintour, viedfor power in the publishing industry at the end of the 20thcentury. It’s now being developed for a mini-series by Bra-vo with the same executive producer of the acclaimedshow, “The Walking Dead,” Gale Anne Hurd.Sony also bought the rights to his latest book, “When Li-
ons Roar: the Churchills and the Kennedys,” a history ofthe relationship between the two families.“Suddenly, my world is getting much bigger,” Maier
said.This all comes following years of hard work by Maier,
who sticks to a steady writing regimen to complete his de-tailed accounts of some of modern history’s most influen-tial figures: He gets up early each morning in the house hebought from his aunt June in 1985, which is about a milefrom his parents’ house where he grew up, to write for afew hours before heading to work. Then, after dinner, hewrites often late into the night.A graduate of St. Anthony’s High School in 1974, back
when the school was in Smithtown, Maier went on to earna bachelor’s degree in political science from Fordham Uni-versity and then a master’s degree from the ColumbiaSchool of Journalism. He spent two years at the ChicagoSun-Times before leaving when Rupert Murdoch boughtthe paper in 1984 -- landing back at his hometown paper,where he had gotten his first job as a paperboy in 1968.These days, Maier works on major investigative projects
alongside colleagues at News 12 Long Island (both News-day and News 12 are owned by Cablevision). They’ve doneseven multi-part, multimedia projects in the past six years,including a recent one on the business of tutoring.With a fourth season just announced, Maier said he
hopes it will for six years to tell the full story of Mastersand Johnson.Meanwhile, he’s working on even more TV projects.
What will they be about? Too soon to divulge, unfortu-nately, Maier said.Stay tuned.
