Empty nest alternative… First, let mepreface this by saying that I love the feedbackI’ve been getting over the last few weeks! So,in reference to my bit about parents saddenedby their children leaving forcollege, reader Mimi Taylorwrote to me with a suggestion.Of course, one’s child can nev-er be replaced, but perhaps adopting a canine,feline or another pet could help to soften theblow. Stop by any one of the great animal shel-ters in the area for a look-see. “There are cats,kittens, dogs and puppies just waiting for forev-er homes,” as Mimi says.

NY Should Opt IntoPublic Financing
of Elections
In 2014, I faced one of thehardest decisions of my ca-reer: Should I opt into a pub-lic financing program for thecomptroller’s race or not?For years, I had called forpublic financing of politicalcampaigns. I’d even pushedmy own legislation to startwith the state comptroller’s
office.But now I was faced with a
deeply flawed pilot programthat had been rushed into lawfor an election a mere sevenmonths later. The legislationwas sloppy, inadequate andunsound in so many waysthat good government groupsthat had spent decades fight-ing for this change were out-raged and encouraged me toreject it.In the end, I agreed with
the advocates and chose not
to participate in the pilot.There were too many signsthat the program wasdoomed from the start. Per-haps it was designed to fail.A report from the state
Board of Elections validatesthese concerns, noting the“extremely short” timeframe to implement the planand the hurdles that made itimpractical or impossible forcandidates to participate.But the failure of one
poorly designed plan should
not dissuade NewYork fromadopting real public cam-paign finance reform.I commend the Board of
Elections for makingthoughtful suggestions onhow to make a new public fi-nance system viable: offi-cials must have at least twoyears to implement a pro-gram and those seeking pub-lic financing need the propertime to opt-in and meet par-ticipation thresholds.According to the National
Conference of State Legisla-tures, 13 states offer somekind of public financing topolitical candidates, andthose systems have beenproven to work. New YorkCity has operated under avoluntary publicly fundedsystem for more than 20years. While not perfect, it issuccessful in promotingcompetition and reducingthe influence of private do-nations.In this era of extreme vot-
er cynicism brought on by aseemingly endless series ofcorruption scandals, it’s timefor the state to get on board.We need comprehensivecampaign finance reform inNew York now, includingpublic funding of electionsfor all state offices: governor,comptroller, attorney gener-al, Senate and Assembly.Campaigns are big busi-
ness in New York, and vastsums are required to mountan effective race, especiallyfor statewide office. Anyonewho is not wealthy but wantsto run for office is often de-
nied the opportunity becausehe or she simply can’t self-fund a campaign.Current contribution lim-
its for statewide offices are$19,700 for a primary and$41,100 for a general elec-tion. According to the U.S.Census Bureau, the medianannual household income inNew York state in 2013 was$58,000. How can NewYorkers believe in a systemthat lets statewide candi-dates accept contributionslarger than the average fam-ily’s income?Public financing allows
regular citizens who do nothave access to establishedpolitical fundraising circlesthe ability to raise moneyand compete in elections.Matching funds for smallercontributions also forcescandidates to focus on grass-roots donors.The non-partisan Cam-
paign Finance Institute sug-gested the cost for public fi-nancing would be $26 mil-lion to $41 million annually— a few dollars per NewYorker for a sound invest-ment in a more open, trans-parent state government.The bottom line is that we
must change the old ways ofraising money inAlbany. It’stime for the state to build anew foundation of publictrust by enacting campaignfinance reform in time forthe next state election.

Opinion‘Not the types set up by the printer return their impression, the meaning, the main concern.’
Although summer doesn’t officiallyend until Sept. 23, the Labor Day holidaytraditionally brings the season to a close.Students already have started headingback to school in some Long Island dis-tricts and the remainder will be fillingclassrooms in the days ahead.The back-to-school season is one of ex-
citement and anticipation. It brings anend to those easy days ofsummer, when families arefree of the obligations andrigorous scheduling of the school year.This year in particular it brought a respitefrom the controversy that followed thestate’s implementation of Common Coreeducational standards.It was a tumultuous year in the educa-
tion community as dissatisfaction withthe Common Core standards – and thetesting that came with it – led to outrightrevolt. A grassroots movement thatgained traction both locally and national-ly resulted in New York leading the na-tion in the number of students opting outof the testing. Reports put that number at20 percent statewide, with Long Islanddistricts seeing even higher numbers.Much of the blame for those startling
numbers can be placed with the state.
NewYork did a poor job of preparing itsown teachers and administrators to meetnew standards, and rushed the curriculuminto place anyhow. The governor onlycomplicated matters by tying test scoresto new teacher evaluation standards.Amid this atmosphere of dissatisfac-
tion, mistrust and outright revolt, a neweducation commissioner stepped into of-
fice July 1. CommissionerMaryEllen Elia is facing thedaunting task of having to re-
store public confidence in the educationsystem while getting that system in linewith national standards. That’s going totake a different approach, and it’s goingto take time. It’s going to take greatertransparency, and it’s going to have to ac-commodate public input.Long Island residents pay some of the
highest property taxes in the nation, withmost of the bill going to local school sys-tems. Residents are rightly fearful of los-ing the local control that they believe al-lows their school districts to excel andbetter meet the needs of their communi-ties.The state’s education department is
looking for respect? From the governoron down, it needs to give respect as well.

Judy Ahearn-Juliano was knownas the anchor of the family. She wasthe one to suggest family reunionsor meetups in the city, and she gen-erally connected everyone together.So when she died in February 2013from a rare form of cancer at 59years old, it was a big loss for thefamily. Ties, through grief and thelack of Ahearn-Juliano’s nurturingways, naturally relaxed a bit.In the past few months, however,
those ties have strengthened arounda shared mission. Inspired by thememory of Ahearn-Juliano’s robustlife, a group of nine runners, manyof them from the Huntington area,including her brother, James, and hiswife, Francine, who live in theHuntington Station home Ahearn-Juliano grew up in, will be runningin the inaugural Suffolk CountyMarathon and Half Marathon onSept. 13. They will all be running --or walking and jogging, dependingon the participant -- the 13.1-milehalf marathon.The idea of a group run got its
start when Francine Ahearn, a socialworker in the West Islip Schools,heard people at work talk of startinga running club and participating inthe event, which will aid veterans’causes in Suffolk County, officialssay. Ahearn-Juliano’s husband,Michael, and her identical twinbrothers, James and Chris -- the lat-ter lives in Oakdale, near the Heck-sher State Park, where the race willbegin -- are all U.S. Air Force veter-ans.“Judy used to run 5 miles a day.
That side of the family is very ath-letic. I thought Judy would love it,”said Francine Ahearn, of havingfamily and friends participating inthe run.In addition to Ahearn-Juliano’s
brothers and Francine, other runnersin “Team Ahearn” include Jamesand Francine’s daughter, Michelle,Judy’s maid of honor Lucille Weis-berg (a cancer survivor) and herdaughter Alanna Cameron, two oth-er family friends, and Ahearn-Ju-
liano’s daughter, Alexandra “Ali”Juliano, who is driving four hoursfrom upstate Glen Falls for the race.Her father and one of her two sisterswill be joining her for moral sup-port.“We all started running on our
own during the week and we wouldcome together on Sunday night torun long distances,” said FrancineAhearn. “During the week, we did 3miles, three times a week. When we
come together, we want to do 4-6miles.”This past Sunday, James Ahearn
ran 10 miles and a group of othersran 8.4 miles in the Huntington area.Ahearn-Juliano graduated from
Stony Brook University with a de-gree in respiratory therapy andworked at Huntington Hospital as anapnea specialist, where her motherwas a nurse, before she moved toGlen Falls in 1990 with her husband
and children. She played piano forher church for 25 years.Ali, who is 19, designed a special
yellow T-shirt (the color representsangiosarcoma, the type of cancerAhearn-Juliano was stricken with)for the group, with “Ahearn FamilyRun 2015,” a heart-shaped ribbon,“Judy” and her mother’s birth anddeath dates on the front, and the run-ner’s names and a number on the

BUSINESS
By Peter Klein
The volatility ofthe last week thatbrought the major in-dices down to correc-tion territory (down
more than 10 percent from recenthighs) should not be a surprise. This,of course, is the nature of extendedmarkets – volatile swings. That said,such gut-wrenching volatility is noteasy to stomach, especially if youweren’t prepared for it. Therefore, Ithought it important to offer this brief-ing on how best to navigate correc-tions – our “Market Correction Play-book.”Our game plan, for the last several
months, has been to use this expectedcorrection as an opportunity to allo-cate capital – slowly, mindfully andstrategically – into market opportuni-ties. But the first step is having “drypowder” to put to work.We have beenan outspoken advocate for maintain-ing caution in light of a market thatwas on the top end of the historicalvaluation metrics. It’s never easy be-ing cautious in a rising market – beinga contrarian can be lonely – but we
stuck with our thesis and now are be-ginning to put some of the dry powderto work.Step 1 is being mindful that this
manufactured economy (thanks toglobal central banks and their zero in-terest rate policies) has caused manymisallocations of capital and, hence, avalue-timing overlay was necessary.Avalue-timing overlay is doing the fun-damental macro analysis to determinea fair value for the indices much likewe do for cash flows of stocks. Sureits hard work – and doesn’t alwayswork when you expect it should – buthomework is like insurance – you doit and it is there when you need it.Step 2 is finding the opportunities
to put the dry powder to work. Whereare these opportunities? In what sec-tors and what individual stocks?From my perch, you want to start offwith especially in tumbling markets –with sectors NOT individual stocks.As we know, there are myriad ofETFs and index funds to choose from.They track, it seems, every sector inthe investing universe. So many tochoose from, how do we know whereto start? We started in the energy andhealthcare sectors; two of the hardest-
hit sectors with some of the largest,blue chip names. You like dividends(who doesn’t)? Well these are yield-ing 3 percent and 2 percent, respec-tively.Step 3. How much of the dry pow-
der do we commit to each index? Thisis where one needs to temper opti-mism – the execution phase is one ofbaby steps—moving decisively, butwith an awareness that prices rarelysnap right back up again, more likelyto see lower values (and we are nevergoing to call the bottom or the top; noone ever does). Our job is to allocatecapital over time at advantaged prices– to use the market’s volatility to ourfavor. So you start slowly and care-fully – 10 percent or even 5 percent toan investment – and as the marketprovides further opportunity (read:goes lower), we can then add moreexposure.Step 4. Once the market settles
down a bit (still down, just maybe notas volatile) then we can searchthrough the rubble for individualideas that look attractive. Here againwe do the heavy lifting of fundamen-tal (and some technical) analysis.Cast a skeptical eye on growth, valu-
ation and free cash flow measures, aswell as reviewing the company’sgrowth plans and industry position-ing. We have a list of companies thatwe have been waiting to get into butdidn’t want to “pay-up” for. So nowwe can use the correction as an op-portunity to review those stocks andinvestments to find excellent opportu-nities for our clients.Stewarding capital entrusted to us
is our No. 1 function. We do so in thesame manner as we invest our owncapital. We buy when times are scary(best values!) and sell (dial back onexposures –as we did some time ago)when things are heady and overly op-timistic. It is this contrarian approachthat will provide for excellent out-sized returns – risk adjusted – overmarket cycles.Klein Wealth Management is a

that he go into tattooing.“I’d heard of Chuck, the owner of
the shop I’m working at now, andbrought him what was part of mycollege portfolio,” Galluccio said.“It had been turned down anddeemed not good enough forschools, and Chuck looked at it andsaid, ‘Yeah, you can do it.’”Galluccio says that he was amazed
at how well received his drawingswere and was glad that he got the of-fer to tattoo professionally. In the fiveyears since then, the young artistshows no signs of slowing down.Before becoming a licensed artist,
Galluccio apprenticed under theshop’s owner, Chuck Brady, who es-tablished the business 15 years ago.Brady is also an assistant chief at theHuntington Manor Fire Departmentand has been a volunteer firefighterfor 13 years.“When I was a kid getting tat-

A Connecticut environmentalistleading a lawsuit against the stateDepartment of Environmental Con-servation and National Grid demand-ing action on a long-expired North-port Power Station permit called theDEC’s efforts to move the processalong “lackadaisical” and an “em-barrassment” last Wednesday.Terry Backer, of Soundkeeper Inc.,
said the agency’s lack of movementon the permit has led to billions offish kills each year in the Long Is-land Sound due to obsolete technol-ogy.A lawsuit filed in Nassau County
Supreme Court Aug. 11 by Sound-keeper wants the court to compel theDEC to act on an expired State Pol-lutant Discharge Elimination Sys-tem permit. The permit expired in2011 and is required under the fed-eral Clean Water Act, the suit said.DEC spokesman Tom Mailey said
the agency “does not comment onpending litigation.”In a statement emailed Aug. 26 by

As summer winds down, finding aplace to dine outside is the mainobjective to while away the hoursand Feed & Grain of Northport inNorthport village fits that bill.Established in the ‘70s by owner
Robert Tyler, as Clam Bar & Tavernon the Harbor, it was restored as
Feed & Grain seven years ago. Sincethen, the menu of American restau-rant has expanded and a patio over-looking Main Street gives patronsanother option for dining.Once you’ve decided whether to
dine indoors or out on the patio,appetizers such as baked clams withpanko bread crumbs and garlic($9.95 for six and $16.95 for adozen) and calamari Calabrese, with
garlic, oil and cherry peppers withGorgonzola cheese ($13.95) aregreat starters. The baked clams arelightly breaded so patrons taste thefreshness of the whole clams within.The calamari Calabrese is flash fried,then tossed with gorgonzola cheese,cutting through the medium spici-ness of the cherry peppers.For entrees, it offers burgers,
grilled chicken sandwiches and fishand chips, but if you want somethingmore filling, you can’t go wrongwith the lobster and mussels special($13.95 on Monday and Tuesday;$18.95 the rest of the week) or ThePounder, a ¾-pound shell steak anda ¼-pound lobster tail with bakedpotato and vegetables ($22.95). Thelobster and mussels is a great choicesince it can ordered be everyMonday and Tuesday at a discount.The Pounder’s shell steak is grilledand well seasoned, and the lobstertail is not overcooked.Patrons who value quality will be
pleased to know that Feed & Grain iscommitted to excellence in everyaspect of their service. The day Idined there, a shipment of musselswas rejected from its supplierbecause it didn’t meet its high stan-dards. That attentiveness to detailoutweighs a risk of losing profits.For drinks to accompany dinner,
Feed and Grain offers margaritas,beers like Dogfish IPA, mojitos andsangrias. One popular drink is Meg’sSangria, named after a staff memberwho created the recipe.If, after having mussels and lob-

creme brûlée and key lime pie are thedishes to order. The key lime pie iscreamy and not very tart. The crèmebrûlée’s creamy custard and thecaramelized topping is thin, but justenough to give it a little sweetness.The restaurant’s longstanding
appeal is in part due to staff memberswho have been around since the1970s, including manager JodyBunura, who said the staff strives toprovide “great food and a good time ina relaxed, down-home atmosphere.”

Joe “The Irish Bomber” Smith Jr.has proved he’s more than deservingof his nickname, as of late.Of the 25-year-old’s last four
bouts, Smith has taken a total of justeight rounds, of 34 possible rounds,to defeat his opponents.“I know I have a lot of power,”
Smith Jr., of Mastic, said Monday.“When I hit somebody hard, I cansee it. I can see in their eyes that Ihurt them.”Smith will seek that look, once
again, Sept. 11 as he headlines StarBoxing’s Rockin’ Fights 20 with alight-heavyweight showdown againstShujaa El Amin at The Paramount.“I love fighting at The Para-
mount. It’s so close to home for meand a lot of my friends and familyare always there,” said Smith (18-1,15 KOs). “I’m really hoping that af-ter this fight I’ll be ready to jumpup a little to the top 10 or top 15. Ithink I’m ready.”But first, El Amin (12-7, 6 KOs)
stands in Smith’s way. Smith said hedoesn’t know much about the 28-year-old boxer from Flint, Michigan,but after watching some tape, hedubbed El Amin a “good boxer whoknows how to survive in there.”“But I know he’s been stopped
before,” Smith said. “My game plan
is to go in there just like any otherfight and listen to my coach [JerryCapobianco].”Smith said he’ll look to keep the
pressure up early on ElAmin with in-tentions ending yet another fight ear-ly – this one is scheduled for 10rounds.The fight was originally sched-
uled for July 17, but had to be post-poned when Smith suffered an in-jury to his eardrum, which he’ssince recovered from.The Irish Bomber is coming off of
a TKO victory over Cory Cum-mings, which was fought on April18, also at The Paramount. The fightagainst Cummings, a 35-year-oldveteran, was said to be a major testfor Smith, but one that he passed injust two rounds.“A lot of people were worried I
would lose that fight, but I provedthat I can handle anything that theythrow at me,” he said.Along with Smith, Rockin’ Fights
20 will feature matches, includingAnthony “Showtime” Karperis (10-2, 3 KOs) against Jose “El AsesinoCaro Niño” Morales (8-6, 2 KOs);Ronica “Queen” Jeffrey (13-1, 1KO) against Brenda “Boom Boom”Gonzales (4-1, 1 KO); and John“Hitman” Hernandez (4-1, 1 KO)against Helario Medina (2-7). Thecomplete undercard is expected tobe announced in the coming days.Doors open at 7 p.m. on Sept. 11,
with the show slated to begin at 7:30p.m. Tickets are available at the boxoffice or from paramountny.com for$50-$200.

It’s almost thattime again. That timewhen we think ofpeople besides our-selves and remember
those families that will never bethe same. Sept. 11 had the capaci-ty of making us better people, bet-ter neighbors, more empathetic.We really were changed then, al-though now it's really hard to re-member.For a while, we weren't so self-
centered. The tragedy that caughtus all by surprise brought all thesurvivors together. Those of uswho lived through that day feltmore compassion, more connectedto our fellow man. It was the onlygood thing that came from thathorrible day.So here we are, 14 years later and
our old habits are creeping back in.Don't think so? Try hesitating for amoment when you're the first car inline waiting at the light and it turnsgreen. Most of us hesitate deliber-ately before proceeding, hoping notto be struck by a car running the redlight. Patience. Now there’s some-thing we had a little more of back
then. Sept. 11 seems an appropriatetime to look back into that mirrorand see if we are the persons we aresupposed to be; good citizens, goodneighbors, decent and kind-heartedpeople.I recently heard about a list of
the happiest places in the world tolive. Sad to say, weAmericans did-n’t fare very well. We came in 15thon the list. People from countriesthat came out on top cited feelingtruly connected and cared for bytheir fellow man. Get this: Peoplein Switzerland, which came infirst, said they felt very little stress,even while stuck in traffic. Appar-ently, honking a horn is lookeddown upon also.Most importantly, not one of the
14 finalists ahead of us cited afflu-ence as a “happiness factor.”It’s true there are many good
things going on in our town, suchas fund-raisers and runs and con-certs for good causes. However, inbetween all of those events, mo-ments to do good and be kind willsurely arise. These are the thingsthat make us a happier people. Andlet’s remember what our kinder-garten teachers taught us and “justbe nice.”

Chas Cancellare, Highway Dept. Deputy Super, Dies At 64By Andrew [email protected]
The Town of Huntington has lostone of its all-stars.Chas G. Cancellare, of Dix Hills,
deputy superintendent of the Hunt-ington Highway Department, diedAug. 20. He was 64.When Huntington Highway Su-
perintendent Peter Gunther waselected at the end of 2013, he wasposed with selecting a partner.While he said that process was dif-ficult, Cancellare ultimately solvedthat.“When you talk about picking
somebody, Chas was the collegeall-star top-dog,” Gunther said Aug.26. “He was a confidant, friend andco-worker. He was there for what-ever I needed him to do. I’m veryblessed to have worked with him soclosely for two years.”Gunther said that Cancellare
made an impression on him imme-diately as the two spent many hourstogether at work, especially
through the winter when Hunting-ton was slammed with record snow-fall totals. He also made his markon the department as a whole.This is evident, Gunther said, by
the roughly 1,000 people whomourned Cancellare’s death at amemorial service held Aug. 25 atthe Vanderbilt Planetarium in Cen-terport.“He was loved by so many and
touched so many people,” Gunthersaid.Cancellare lived in Dix Hills with
his wife, Deborah Poulos, a judgein Suffolk County Family Court. Cancellare practiced law in
Hauppauge, a career he started aftera period of working as successfulphotojournalist, Gunther said.Along with his wife, Cancellare
is survived by his mother Dolores;siblings Michael and Margaret;nieces and nephews. He was prede-ceased by his father, Charles.Arrangements were made by
Moloney’s Hauppauge FuneralHome in Hauppauge.

Juliano said. “But she is saying, ‘Dothe impossible things.’ She would godo a half marathons. She loved doingadventures. That’s the motto now forthis family: Swim the English Chan-nel.”Chris Ahearn, who is about 6 min-
utes younger than his brother, saidhe is excited about crossing the fin-ish line and feeling the sense of ac-complishment it will bring.More importantly, however, he
said it’s about honoring his sister,her life and her legacy. Noting thatshe was a deeply spiritual person, hesaid, “To do something like this, I’msure she’s smiling down from Heav-en. It was her type of thing.”The night before the big race,
Team Ahearn plans to meet up for apasta dinner at the Huntington Sta-tion house where Ahearn-Julianoand her brothers grew up.“I’m really, really excited about
it,” said James Ahrean, who’s goingto try to run the whole thing. “It’ssomething my sister would have en-joyed to see. Doing family things.Getting out being active. I’m veryhappy that we’re all doing it.”

folk County alone currently.”Brady said because the areas ofHuntington and Northport have richart histories, an interest in local tat-too parlors and body art in generalseems natural.“Long Island’s always had a richhistory of art and now that tattoos aremore openly accepted in the commu-nity and in the public’s eyes. It’s justbeen flourishing.”With the high demand for qualitybody art, and the desire shop artistshave for repeat business, establishinga positive relationship with clients isnot only important, but absolutelynecessary, Galluccio said.“When you buy a piece of art fromsomebody, you’re not buying someservice they offer, you’re buying thecountless hours it took for them tolearn how to do that,” he said. “You’rebuying the struggle over the years justfor them to know how to do that foryou and be able to give you somethingworth having. You want people to re-ally invest in you.”In the spirit of collaboration be-tween artist and collector, Lou RubinoJr. of Tattoo Lou’s is presenting theUnited Ink Convention at the Cradleof Aviation Museum in Garden City.This event is open to the publicfrom Sept. 11-13 and will feature lo-cal, national and international tattoo
artists and body piercers who will behonoring appointments and acceptingwalk-ins during the convention. Theevent will also feature music, games,seminars and art exhibits, accordingto the event’s official website.Among the many shops asked toparticipate at the convention, Sta-tion 1 Tattoo finds itself on the list,and Brady and Galluccio say theyare excited.“Conventions, especially the Unit-ed Ink one, is a great way for localbusinesses to really get a different va-riety of things,” Galluccio said.“There are plenty of people thatwould walk by our booth and tell usthat they’re surprised we’re located 20minutes away from their house, sothere’s plenty of that word of mouththat goes on and it helps to drive traf-fic at the shop.”Brady also agrees that local tattooconventions help to drive small busi-nesses like his and that they bring infresh clientele that had not otherwiseheard of Station 1 Tattoo.“If you have a shop on Long Is-land you would really be a fool notto do a convention in your own back-yard,” Brady said. “When you’re inyour backyard, that’s where you’regoing to get more people interestedin your art work and more of the lo-cal people you didn’t have beforewill start to come to you.”

has been allowed to continue operat-ing. The statement also says Nation-al Grid is working with the stateDEC to study the impacts of its cool-ing water system and the effects itmay have on aquatic life. The utilitysaid it “has proposed a suite of tech-nologies to reduce those impacts.”Backer’s organization, however,claims that a new permit could re-quire National Grid to replace thepower plant’s outdated once-throughcooling system, which draws waterfrom nearby sources, uses it to coolthe plant’s systems and circulates thewarmer water back into the source.Since the Northport plant draws wa-ter from the Long Island Sound, itcan also suck in organisms living inthe water. According to the lawsuit,the plant was linked to about 8.5 bil-lion fish kills in 2003, the latest fig-ure available.“It’s a giant fish-killing machinecommitting an act of theft,” Backersaid Aug. 26 during a press confer-ence held at Northport Soccer Park,directly adjacent to the power plant.“When permits are not issued and
this plant runs daily, killing fish dai-ly, it’s stealing them from us.”A new permit could lead to aclosed-cycle cooling system, whichSoundkeeper’s attorney Reed Supersaid is shown to have lesser environ-mental impacts.Super, an attorney at Super LawGroup in Brooklyn, said after thepress conference that there has beenprecedent for lawsuits similar to thisone to put pressure on agencies totake action on expired permits.Super speculated that, in order forNational Grid to retrofit the North-port power plant with a closed cyclecooling system, it could cost tens ofmillions of dollars, if not more.Farmingdale-based Citizens Cam-paign for the Environment has alsotaken notice of the expired Northportpermit, but claims it’s not the onlyLong Island power plant operatingwith expired permits and outdatedtechnology.CCE Executive Director AdrienneEsposito said National Grid’s E.F.Barrett Power Station in Island Parkalso uses the once-through coolingsystem.

and that it is the wrong place for theexpanded rest area considering itsproximity to an abutting residentialarea.“I had very productive meetings
today with local and state officialson Long Island and while no deci-sions were made, I look forward tocontinued conversations about thehealth and safety of all users of theLIE,” Driscoll said in a statement. “I
think we can all agree that LIE mo-torists deserve a safe place to restand we’ll keep working on the bestway to do that.”“I made very clear to the commis-
sioner that I will not support any reststop at Exit 52,” said HuntingtonCouncilwoman Susan Berland, whosuggested that the DOT take a lookat Exit 49 in Melville, where there isan existing Park-and-Ride she said isunder-utilized.
In addition to a building thatwould house a Taste NY store, therest stop would have four bus spaces.Another possibility suggested
would to be to reconsider Exit 67.“I think there is a perception is
that it’s too far out, but I think thatthat perception is of someone whodoesn’t live on Long Island,”Berland said, noting that there arenumerous places for riders to stopbetween exits along the LIE.
“This is a meeting we should havehad with the commissioner beforeany stage got started,” said state As-semblyman Chad Lupinacci (R-South Huntington). “At this point,everything is on hold until they re-assess the situation.”“We pled our case. They listened.
Now we’re going to have to furtherdiscussions,” added state Assembly-man Andrew Raia (R-East North-port).

Caliendo, the district’s assistant su-perintendent finance and facilities,of the courts at an Aug. 24 schoolboard meeting. She called the proj-ect “quite an accomplishment” con-sidering it was approved in May andalready completed. “That took quitea lot of moving of some mountains.”Along with the tennis courts, High
School West is also in the midst ofhaving its auditorium’s partitiondoors replaced. The project is slatedto be completed on time in October,Marrone Caliendo said.Details on the district’s third capi-
tal project, the replacement of HighSchool East’s chilling and coolingtower, were not discussed during themeeting, but district officials also
discussed upgrades to High SchoolEast’s planetarium, which are ex-pected to be completed in October.Regarding staff, Deputy Superin-
tendent Patrick Harrigan announcedthat the district has hired around 20new teachers for the upcomingschool year.“Some are part-time, some are
brand new to the profession, someare changing tenure areas within thedistrict,” Harrigan said.Mary Rettaliata, the district’s as-
sistant superintendent elementary ed-ucation, talked about the Half Hol-low Hills push to meld technologyand teaching at the elementary level,which spawned after the district’s an-nual effort to collect feedback fromits teachers.
That feedback resulted in the im-plementation of myOn, an onlineservice the district will use to allowelementary students access to morethan 4,000 digital books; the intro-duction of 1,300 laptops into the dis-trict’s elementary program; and thepurchase of 35 iPads per elementarybuilding, which can be signed out ofthe libraries by students.At the secondary level, John O'-
Farrell, assistant superintendent sec-ondary education, discussed new andimproved classes being offered bythe district in the fields of computerprogramming, digital art and engi-neering. The district has also pur-chased tablets, Chromebooks andiPods to be used by secondary stu-dents this school year.
O’Farrell was hopeful that theadded technology will culminate bythe end of September with a “bringyour own device initiative” at HighSchool East and High School Westthat will enable students to access aguestWiFi network using a smart de-vice during free periods, in the cafe-terias and in any classroom where theteacher is allowing it.“We have been busy,” Superinten-
dent of Schools Kelly Fallon saidduring the Aug. 24 board meeting.“There has been a lot, a lot going onand we feel confident that we areready for a successful openingthroughout the entire district. We arevery much looking forward to all ofour students entering through thedoors of all of our buildings.”
A 40-year-old Dix Hills man wasarrested on numerous charges, in-cluding DWI, after leading police ona 13-minute chase that spanned threeSuffolk towns on Aug. 27, Suffolkpolice said.
Police say Robert Firmbach wasdriving a 2011 Hyundai erraticallyand hit another driver’s car while intraffic at Elwood Road and OlympiaPlace in East Northport. When theyarrived at 9:27 p.m. and asked Firm-bach to take a field sobriety test, hefled the scene in his car.During the chase, Firmbach got
into yet another accident, this time atRoute 25 and Commack Road inCommack. Shortly after that inci-dent, he was finally arrested at WolfHill Road and Deer Park Avenue inDix Hills at 9:40 p.m.Firmbach was charged with ob-
structing governmental administra-tion, leaving the scene of a crime, re-
sisting arrest, driving while intoxi-cated and aggravated DWI, which,according to police, suggests thatFirmback’s blood alcohol level wasabove the legal limit of .18 orgreater.Firmback was arraigned on Aug.
