their May 29 meeting that there was“someconcernby theresidents in theareathat the consultant’s report on trafficmight not be thoroughenough,” resultingin theHuntingtonTownBoardasking thePlanningBoard to “facilit ate a review ofthatconsultant’swork.”Thestudy,submittedwhenthepropos-

The future construction of MatinecockCourt,anEastNorthport affordable hous-ing complex that hasbeenmiredin litiga-tion for decades, is also factored intothose traffic projections, officials said atthetime.Carter said by approving the independ-

Finally, An Answer: What IsWealthManagement?We hear these terms

bandied about – a financialadvisor, a financial plan, a

stock-brokeracashflow plan?Whatdoesitall meanand howdoesit affectmy wallet?I am here to un-pack the concept of

wealthmanagement, onceand for all.WealthManagementcanbebestdefined

by thefollowing equation:

WM = IC +AP (WE,WT, WP, CP) +RM (CRM, ERM)

IC = Investment ConsultingAP = Advanced Planning (which is

comprisedof Wealth Enhancement,WealthTransfer,Wealth Protection,andCharitablePlanning)RM = Relationship Management

(Client Relationship ManagementandExpert RelationshipManagement)

Let’s start with Investment Consulting(IC in theequation).All wealthmanagerssaythey do investmentconsulting—and some,admittedly, aremorecommitted thanothers.It is animportantpartof thewealth manage-ment experience,but it is only onepart.Whatyouneedto look for with respectto

investmentconsultingisnotsomuchpriorre-sults,butrathercommitment.A commitment

to theprofession,to thescienceof investmentmanagementandportfoliomanagement.What credentialsdoesyour wealth man-

ager have?Havethey investedtime andre-sourcesto remainingon thecuttingedgeofthis fastmoving science?Whatweneed toseehereis someonewho

ispassionateaboutthemarketsandtheecon-omy; wholivesandbreathesit.But again,IC is only part of the wealth

managementequation. Being a steward forourclient’s assetsthroughadvancedplanningtechniquesisakeycomponentofwealthman-agement. Advanced Planning is a criticaldifferentiator. Only 10 percentof thewealthmanagersactually doadvancedplanning.It is,inmydefinition,comprisedof 4components:Wealth Enhancement, which is maxi-

mizingourclient’s cashflows,aftertaxes.Wewantto focusonnetreturns,wheretax effi -ciency is acritical circumstance.Whilemostwealthmanagersare not CPAs,thatdoesn’tmeantheycannotbemindful to taxeffectsonportfolio choices.Wealth Transfer is making sure the

client’s assets areproperlytitled—thattheirbeneficiary statements are completedandthattheirassetswill passin amanner consis-tentwith their wishesandin a tax efficientmanner. Muchof this is incorporated in es-tateplanning, which requireslegal counsel,but the true wealth manager is proactiveenough to start the discussionsand collabo-ratewith theestateattorney.

Wealth Protection is where the wealthmanager is makingsurethat theclient’s as-setsarenot unjustly takenfrom them;mak-ingsurethattheyhavethemost effective in-suranceprogramsin placeat theright price.Reviewing insurancepolicies (bothP&C aswell aslife) is an importantfacet of wealthmanagement.A goodwealth manager hasanexpertteam—inlegal,accounting,insuranceandotherfields. It isalsogoodpracticetouti-lize technology.Charitable Planning is essentially

legacy development, ensuring that theclient’s valuesare passeddownfor gener-ationsto come.Manyinvestorstodaywantto instill their valuesfor the next genera-tion – andtheoneafter that.Investorsseeafamily foundation,for example,asawayto not only give backbut alsoonewheretheentirefamily canbeinvolved.Imaginethe family gatheringa few timesa yeartodiscusswhichnonprofitorganizationstheyare goingto support?So that is advancedplanningandits four

components, but the comprehensivedefini-tion of wealthmanagementis not complete.At theendof theday,wealthmanagementisapeoplebusiness. Relationshipsmakeall thedifference,andhowonemanagesthoserela-tionshipscanmakeahugeimpactontheen-tirewealthmanagementexperience.The Relationship Management part of

theequationis dividedinto twocomponents:Client RelationshipManagement andEx-

pert Team Relationship Management.I sumup client relationshipmanagement

with the term “Proactive Empathy,” wherewestrive to knowourclientsverywell, bothonafinanciallevelaswell anemotional lev-el.Wealthmanagementclientsshouldbetak-en through a defined process to uncoverwheretheyaretodayandwheretheywanttobein thefutureandidentify any gapsin be-tweenwheretheycanassist.Thefinal partof theequationis theexpert

team and the relationshipthat the wealthmangerhas with his team.Many of ourclientsarebombardedwith info fromtheirat-torney,theirCPA,their insuranceprofession-al, their banker,theirtax counsel,etc.A goodwealthmanagerwill serveasthefamily’s fi-nancialquarterback,collaboratingwith theotherprofessionalssothattheclientsareableto seetheglidepathandcontinueonit.Wealth management is important for

everyone—thosewith wealth who need tokeep(or grow it) andthosewhoneedassis-tancein achievingtheir long-term financialplans.While it canmeanmany thingsto dif-ferent people the bottom line is the same,with proactiveempathy beingagoodstewardfor your client.

Support For SeniorHousing

The following letter was senttoHuntington Supervisor FrankPetronein supportof theSeasonsat Elwood senior housing pro-posal.It is printed hereat theau-thor’s request.

DEAR MR. PETRONE:My nameisStuartZimmer,andI

am 72 andmy wife is 69. Elwoodhas been our home for over 44years.We choseElwood since, in1970whenwemovedhere,it boast-ed the top school district in NewYork State.Wehavesenttwo sons,now adults, through the Elwoodschoolsystem, andbelievethatbothour sons havereceiveda compre-hensiveandbroadeducation.Unlike many of our friendsand

neighborsthathave“fled” to Flori-da,welovetheareaandwantto re-

main here. However, as “emptynesters,” we find thatour largesin-gle-family homeno longerfits ourliving style. Theannouncementofa Seasonsdevelopmentat theOakTreeDairy site for people55-plushascomeasa godsendfor us.Wecould not bemore in favor of thisdevelopment then if we werebuilding it ourselves.I am sureyou are cognizantof

the fact that senior housingis invery short supply in Huntington,andespecially in Elwood.My wifeand I haveno desire to leave theareaor our sonsor grandchildren,and we wish to continue livingcloseto them.Ourneighbors,doc-tors, and merchantsare, after alltheseyears,almostlike anextend-ed family. By votingagainstseniorhousing,youaregoingto forcenotonly us, but many others out ofHuntington. Do you really thinkthat’sa smartdecision?I havebeenprivy to mostof the

argumentsin opposition to theSea-sons.And for thelif e of me, I can-not understandwhy someresidentsareso resistantto it. Fromwhat Iread, the Seasonsdeveloper hasmadeseveralmodificationsto theiroriginal proposal to accommodatethewishesof thoseopposedto thedevelopment.They havescaledtheproject down from 444 homesto360 homes,includedan exclusionbarring anyonebelow theageof 18from living in thedevelopment.Sothe Seasonsdevelopershavebeenreasonableandsensible in meetingmany of the opposition’s mainpoints.Many Elwood residentsobject

to the increasedtraffic on ElwoodRoadthat this developmentmightbring. From my view, living justoff of ElwoodRoad, this street haslong outlivedits usefulness.It is indire needof moving into the 21stCentury.ElwoodRoadneedsto bewidened to accommodateall the

increasedtraffic that now travelson it. Duringanormal rushhour,itbacksup for miles.Sowhetherornot Seasons is approved,ElwoodRoadneedsto bewidened.Some Elwood residentsargue

that people selling their homestomoveinto theSeasonswill bepur-chasedby families with school-agedchildren.Whoelseis goingtobe in the market for large single-family homesif not peoplewithschool-aged children? Again,whetheror not Seasonsgoesfor-ward, most seniorsthat sell theirhomeswill sell to families withschool-agedchildren. So whetheror notSeasonsis approved,seniorsselling their homes will createadded students in the ElwoodSchoolDistrict.Certain Elwood residentsargue

that it is better for a residentialcommunity like Elwood to retainan industrial dairy in its midst in-steadof replacing it with modernresidentialhousing.[That] makesno sense!Why wouldanyonefightfor dairy with an openair sewagetreatmentplant in their communi-ty?Elwoodis, andshouldcontinueto be,a residential community.Lastly, Elwoodhasalwaysbeen

ahigh-taxedcommunity.Frommyunderstanding,if theSeasonsatEl-wood is approved,it will addover$2 million of needed tax revenues.Oftentimes,certaintermscome

into the American lexicon ofspeechthatsoundsparticularly ap-

propriate.In the conflict currentlytaking place between those thatopposeand those that favor theSeasons development, the term“no-brainer” comesto mind – aterm that refersto something thatrequireslittl e effort to understand.It seemsto me that this term canaptly beapplied to thedecision tomove forward with the Seasonsdevelopment at Elwood.In fact, asI stated,I am hard-pressedto un-derstandwhy some residentsareopposedto its construction.On June17,youcanrestassured

that my wife and I will be at thetownhall meetingto lift ourvoicesin supportof this senior housingproject.Hopefully ourappealswillbeheededbetheTownof Hunting-tonZoningBoard.

Life&Style

In my last article, I dis-cussed famous ships, thenames of which havebecome familiar to us.Mostwerevessels involved

in somewaywith military activities.Many historic ships sailing on quests

other thanmilitary are recorded in our col-lectivemaritimememoriesaswell. Perhapsthe earliest story comes from Greekmythologyin which theARGO,mannedbyJasonandtheArgonauts,sailedtheancientseas in searchof the mythical GoldenFleece.It wasbelievedin theancientworldthat theARGO was the very fi rst ship tosail theseas.In morerecenttimes, the nameH.M.S.

Beagle brings to mind anothernauticalsearch: that of the naturalist, CharlesDarwin, who took several voyageson theBeagleto studythenatural world andtheevolutionof species.The fi rst Beaglewasa 90-foot, two-masted barque,crewed byover 70 seamen,buil t in the early 19thcentury.

Commercial fishing hasbeena continu-ousprincipalmaritimeactivity everywhere.In the19thcentury, NewEnglandproduceda two-masted schooner known as theGloucester Mackerel Purse Seiner, builtwith specializedgear to speedilycatchfish,salt themandprepare themfor market.Theschooner,Mystc, built in 1877, was thistypeof tall ship,fast andefficient, ideal forthe rugged seasonalmackerel fishingindustry. The Mystic was in the classicmovie, “Captains Courageous,” starringSpencerTracy.Among American merchant vessels of

therecentpast,theclippershipsmirror thechallengeand courageof tall shipssailingaroundthedangerouswatersof CapeHorn.Oneof themost famousclippershipsof the19th centurywas theFlying Cloud,whichset aworld recordof 89daysgoingaroundCape Horn from New York to SanFrancisco!In the realm of yacht racing, do you

know how the title of theAmerica’sCupcameto be?In 1851, ablack schooner, theAmerica,sailedto England’sIsleof Wight,theonly foreignvesselto competeagainst

15of England’sfinestyachtsin arugged53mile racingcourse. TheAmericanot onlycamein first, but hadno runnerup.QueenVictoria, uponhearingthe news,declaredthat henceforth the beautiful silver trophyrewardedto thewinnerwouldbeknownasTheAmerica’s Cupto honortheAmericanvictors.Al l school childrenarefamiliar with the

Sincethen, untold millions of immigrants havesailed to ourcountryto seekabetterway oflife for themselvesandtheir families.Overand over, we hear of the passengersinsteeragewho, upon passingthe Statue ofLiberty, got on their knees and in tearsprayedin silence.Nowadays,multitudesof ships, commer-

tie them all together,” Axel Yberg,Axxseam’sowner said. “And that’s whenwecreatedAxxseam.”Previously, Yberg said he tried to

blend the construction, office andgallery space in the storefront into amanufacturinghybrid, but the varioususes didn’t blendwell – it was too loudanddusty, andfinishedprojects gobbledup space.“I thoughtthatwascool…to watchthe

artisansatwork,” hesaid.“But whenyoubuild cabinets,you’re building a kitchen;asit’s beingbuilt, you’re storing it some-where. It takesup so much room – wewere putting finished cabinetsinto the

gallery, andit wasstuffedwith cabinets.”He’s since decided to move the build-

ingpartof thebusiness–makingthecab-inets,furnitureandfunctional artpieces–off-site, while keeping his business of-fices and gallery space in downtownNorthportVillage.But stepinsideandthe look andfeel is

much the same.There’s still a decidedlyManhattancool to thespace,andthefirstthingyou’ll noticeis thatping-pongtablelike no other.It’s called “Pingtuated Equilibripong”

– aplayon thetheory of punctuatedequi-librium, which deducesthat evolution iscausedby rapid, explosivechangein or-ganisms. A one-of-a-kind table thatYbergbuilt in August2011, it’s the piecethatputYbergon themap internationally.Thenameof thegallery is a reference

to another serendipitous occurrenceinhis artistic li fe. Yberg makes a livingthrough his woodworking business,AKKE Woodworks, which producesfin-ished interior woodworks, and AKKEFunctional Art, which createsone-of-a-kindmodernfurniture.After working as anequity traderuntil

2001, Ybergstarted a carpentry businessin 2006in whichhecreatedfinishedinte-rior woodworking for homesand busi-nesses.One of his early contractswaswith The Paramountin Huntington vil-lage. He approached managing partner

and friend Dominick Cattogio in searchof spaceto do thework; the partners of-feredhim unit 37 in an industrialpark onEast 2nd Street, where his companystayedfor 18months.Whenit cametimeto move,Cattagio told him aboutspaceon School Street in Northport, which hetook in November 2012.With the new focus, Yberg said he

plans to also leverage the SchoolStreet

spaceas a venue for private events, thepermanentcollections of AKKE Func-tional Art and his sisterSigneYberg, aswell astheworks of visiting artists.With the newarrangement,Yberg said

he’shopingto createawelcomingatmos-pherefor all of his clients – andhimselfas well.“I love this space. This spaceis my

home,” hesaid.

With friends and family looking on, Axel Yberg cuts the ribbon last weekend on the re-vamped 12B School Street headquarters of Axxseam, the umbrella organization that ties hishome improvement, woodworking and functional art businesses together.

State GOPSlate Faces ChallengersDIXHILLS

Huntington’s Republicanstate legisla-ture delegation will facechallengers thisNovember astheyaim to hangon to theirrespective seatsfor anothertwo years.To win his seventhterm, 12th District

Assemblyman Andrew Raia (R-EastNorthport) will haveto withstanda chal-lengefrom attorneyJeffreyNaness,aDixHills resident whocurrentlyserveson theTown of Huntington’s Zoning Board ofAppeals(ZBA).In the 10th Assembly District, Chad

Lupinacci (R-Melville) will face retiredDix HillsWaterDistrictadministratorDo-minick FeeneyJr.In theStateSenate,CarlMarcelli no (R-

Syosset)will facea rematchfrom LocustValley’s David Wright, who lost to Mar-cellino last year. Incumbent JohnFlana-gan (R-E. Northport) will run againstJoseph Lombardi (D-Centerport).In theAssembly races, in which all the

candidatescall the Town of Huntingtonhome,it appearsbothcontestswill becol-legial ones.In the case of Nanessand Raia, both

men say they genuinelylike eachother,andthey recently performed togetherat acharity fundraiserin Northport– Naness,47, a memberof District Court candidateJim Matthews’ band, JustCause,playedkeyboardsasRaia,46,did aguestspotonvocals.That doesn’t stop them,however, from

disagreeing on key issues,andoneof thebiggestis gun control. NanesscriticizedRaia’s vote against the NY SAFE Act,

which waspassedin January 2013 in re-sponseto the shooting at Sandy Hook El-ementarySchoolin Newtown, Conn. justweeks earlier.But Raia,who said he supports back-

groundchecksand “a whole host of ini-tiatives,” saidhe votedagainst the SAFEAct because it was “defective” and laterthrew his support behind legislationbackedby GovernorAndrew Cuomo totweak it. Theerrors came,heargued,be-cause“it wasrushed through in themid-dle of thenight.”The two alsodiffer whenanalyzing the

performanceof Cuomo,who is up for re-electionthis year.Nanesssaidhe is “pret-ty supportive overall of the governor’sagenda,” especiallyonmattersof guncon-trol, passing on-time budgets, taxes,spendingandcampaign financereform.“It’s a kind of reasoned,middle-of-the-

roadapproach,”Nanesssaid.While Raia also credits Cuomo for

shepherding spendingcutsand four con-secutive on-time budgets to fruition, theassemblymannotedheis alsoproudof hisown efforts to fight Common Core, fightLIPA’s tax certiorari lawsuit regardingtheir powerplant in thevillage,andbattleDemocratic,NewYork City-poweredAs-sembly majority andspeakerSheldonSil-ver.“When I agreewith thegovernor on is-

sues, I tell him,” Raia said. “When I dis-agreewith the governor on issues,I alsotell him.”Nanesssaidhisexperiencein localgov-

ernment, particularly 13 years on theTown of Huntington’s Zoning Board ofAppeals,gives him a good feel for gov-

ernment. Raia said voters should returnhim for anothertwo yearsbecauseof histrack record of strong constituent serviceand “fi ghting for the community that Irepresentandfighting for our share.”Meanwhile, in the 10th district,

Lupinacci,35, who is seeking his secondterm, facesa challenge from Feeney, 59,who currently works as a consultant fortheSuffolkCountyWaterCommissionaf-ter a 37-year careerwith the Town ofHuntington.A lifelong Democrat who became a

committeemanatage18andwasinvolvedin party efforts even before that, FeeneyJr. is alsodeeply involved in theAncientOrderof Hibernians’Huntingtondivision,wherehehaslongbeenakeyorganizeroftheparadeandwasjust thisMarchthean-nual celebration’sgrandmarshal.The Democratic challenger said he

wouldbring two keyassets to thetable forHuntingtonresidents.“The main thing I could bring to the

First, the old – atKerber’s Farm (309 West Pulaski Road,Huntington, 631-423-4400) Nick Voul-garis brought back classicroastedcorn,with a convenient walk-up station andseating area to grab a quick nosh in thesun.Thenew– the lobsterroll ($17.50) isdelightful in its simplicity, combiningfreshMaine lobster and celery,chopped,tossedin pepper andmayo,piled high ina lightly-toasted potato bun and servedwith kettle chipsand a pickle spear.Com-bine that with ice cream and old-fash-

SWEET DEAL: Did you get your free donuton National Donut Day on June6? Bakeshopsaroundtown were handingout theroundtreatsfor free in honorof the“holi -day,” which was startedby the SalvationArmy during the Great Depressionas away to raisefundsandbring awarenesstothe agency’ssocialservice programs,andcommemoratethe “donut lassies,”femaleSalvationArmy volunteerswho provideddonuts – as well as writing supplies,

stamps, clothes-mending and home-cookedmeals– for soldiers on the frontlinesduringWWI. Thedaywassopopularthat Reinwald'sBakery (495 New YorkAve, Huntington, 631-424-4034,www.reinwaldsbakery.com) was cleanedoutof their famousjelly donutsby mid-af-ternoon!

On tapat Huntington’sOsteria Da Ninoare six whites,six redsandfour beers, asthe Main Street establishment, openonceagain after recentrenovations,introducedits wineson taplastThursday.

“The ideaof wineson tap wasborn of‘mirroring’ our sisterrestaurant,Sapsuck-ers,” said GeneralManagerKelley Danek.

The sister restaurants,ownedby NinoAntuzzi and creating what is perhapsaperfect juxtaposition, are located acrossthe street from each other. Sapsuckers’burgers-and-beersatmospherefeaturesarotatingselection of 16craft beers;OsteriaDa Nino’s rustic Italian scenewill nowfeature a rotating selection of 12 small-production wines.

“The wine themselvesare priced rela-tively the same as more conventionallypackaged bottledwines,but therearesev-eral benefitsotherwise,”Daneksaid. “It isa reduction in packaging,as eachkeg orbarrelholdsthesame asapproximately26bottles.Oncethe wine is tapped,thereisan easeof serving as there are no corkstopull or bottlesto disposeof.”

Thosedining at the restaurantwill alsohavethechoice of size: dinerscan orderaglass, or the equivalent of about threeglassesin a 500-mililetercarafe.

With the wine on tap, OsteriaDa Ninocan also better-control wine temperature.Thewhiteswill sit at 48 degrees; theredswill stayat 60 degrees.

And then thereis thefood.The Arancini ($8), whosenametrans-

lates to “little oranges” for their resem-blanceto thefruit, arefriedandfilled withrisotto,saffronandmozzarellaandservedin a shallow pool of tomato sauce. The

Zucchine Fritte ($8) aregently crispy butnot oily or greasy.Dustedwith semolinaand enhancedby lemon, thesezucchinifries areservedwith a garlic aioli.

The Paglia e Fieno ($16) – an Italianpastadish whosenametranslatesdirectlyto “Straw andHay” – is a blendof greenand cream colors. A combination ofspinach and semolina strand pasta anddecoratedwith wild mushrooms, the dishsits in abowl of truffle oil-enhancedcreamand is oneof the mostpopularandwell-liked menuitems,accordingto onewaiter.

The SpinachandRicotta Ravioli ($16)combines flavors similar to thoseof thePagliae Fieno, minus the all-envelopingcream.With parmesan,brown butter andsage,the ravioli finds a balancebetweenheavy andlight.

including Ringo Starr, Keb Mo’, JoeWalsh, and tour mate Robert Randolph,along with Shepherd’s band – “an all-starlineup of musicians” – digging deepintotherootsof thebluessound.“Goin’ Home” paystribute to themusic

thatfirst inspiredaveryyoungShepherdtopick upaguitar, includingB.B.King, Bud-dyGuy,MuddyWaters,StevieRayVaugh-anandothers.“The band has beenvery vocal about

hearing old-fashionedblues,” Shepherdsaid. In choosing the songs for “Goin’Home,” hesaid,“We wentthrougha lot of

catalogsandlookedfor a lot of songsthathadn’tbeenrecordedtoomuch,songswitha goodvibe thathadpositiveenergy.”The result is a packageof “not-so-stan-

dards” with a definite blues vibe: “I LovetheLife I Live” (featuringJoeWalsh);“YouDoneLostYourGoodThingNow,” “BoogieMan” and“Houseis Rockin” amongthem.“Born Under a Bad Sign,” featuringKeb’Mo’ andtheRebirth BrassBand,is perhapsthemostfamiliar track on thealbum.“Everything is not the obvious first

choice.We shiedaway from the obviouschoices,”Shepherdsaid.Stil l youngfor aseasonedperformer,the

36-year-old musician is self-taught andlearnedhis craft by imitating what heheard on recordingsby guitar greats. Likemanyof them, Shepherddoesn’tevenreadmusic.“ I just play what soundsgood.Most of

my heroesdidn’t knowhow to readmusiceither,” Shepherd said. “I don’t encourageit. Studiomusicians,themusicianson thelate night, TV talk shows, they have toknowhow to readmusic.”For Shepherd’s fans, playing by in-

stinct works just fine. In KennyWayne’shands, guitarsweep,bleed and scream.They coax and cajole; they slash andburn. They do whateverhe tells themto.His live performances channelHendrixand in fact, often include covers of“VoodooChild” and otherHendrix hits,honed in during his days touring with

On Saturday morning, as most ofLong Island rested leisurely in theirhouses, St. Anthony’s High School inSouth Huntingtonwasbustli ngwith life,preparing for thegraduation of theClassof 2014.From the melodies of the student

choir, to the rumble of the Celtic FriarBagPipeBand,to thequiet roarof con-versing parents, noises engulfed thebuilding’s studentcenter. But asValedic-torian Grace Cimaszewski took herrightful placeon stage,everything fadedout andonly onevoice mattered: hers.“It’s our turn to go out into theworld

asadults and forge our own way. In thewords of Thomas Edison, the reasonwhy opportunity is missedby mostpeo-ple is becauseit is dressedin overallsand looks like hard work. We have allstrapped on our overalls in thesefouryears oneway or another,”she said.The importanceof hardwork anddis-

ciplinewasa continuousthemethrough-out the duration of the ceremony.Itsbenefits were nevermore tangible thanwhenstudentswerepresentedwith vari-ous academic, artistic and athleticawards.The eyesof studentsli t up astheir nameswere called and they pub-li cly accepteda certificate of their ac-

complishments.Cimaszewski, who is bound for Co-

lumbia University, did not fail to men-tion howdeservingherpeerswereof thevariousawards they received.“The varsity teamspenthours practic-

ing and competing,earningcountlessti-tles. The research program also spentcountlesshours writing papersand pre-sentingtheir work.And thestageclub sac-rificed somuchof their freetime rehears-ing andfilming,” the valedictoriansaid.After all of the awards,medals,and

standingovations,St. Anthony’s Princi-pal Brother Gary Cregan took centerstageto redirectattention towardssome-thing unexpectedly relevantandground-ing: aneternalfire in India.“In theIndiansubcontinent li esa tem-

ple that is reportedto haveacontinuous-ly burning flame—that could be olderthan 2,000 yearsold. Imagine a flametendedto constantlyby priests,spendingtheirwhole livesfor this sole purpose.Ina strongsense, this is an apt metaphorfor what we did at St. Anthony’s – weadded intellectualkindling to theeternalflameof truth,” Cregansaid.Cregan succeededat reminding every

person – children, students and parentsalike – that our quest is not solely formedals, honors and ceremonies,butrather somethingless tangible, andper-hapsmore real: truth.

HillSPORTSLegendary Season Ends For ColtsHills West falls to East Meadow in the Class AA Long Island championship, 3-2

SOFTBALL >> EASTMEADOW3, HILLSWEST 2

Oneof thegreatest seasonsin thehisto-ry of Half Hollow Hills Westsoftball cameto anendonFriday. In theClassAA LongIsland softball championship, the Coltsfell, 3-2, to EastMeadow(19-2).“Without question it was the most

enjoyable and fulfil ling seasonI’ve everhad,”Bill Mitaritonna,headcoach of HillsWest(22-4),said.“We hadthebest seasonin schoolhistory, with winningtheSuffolkCounty championship,but I think it wasthebestseasonfor anotherreason.”Thatreason,Mitaritonnasaid,is thathis

team was 100-percent together, 100-per-centof thetime.Mitaritonna, who has coachedHills

West to several Long Island champi-onshipsin boys’ basketball, said that his2014seasonwith theColts’ softball teamwasby far themostfun he’sever had.

FrancescaCasalino, Hills West’smainleaderandsuperstar pitcher,agreed.“This is theclosest I’ve everbeenwith a

team,” Casalino said. “Since they’re allunderclassmen, finally getting to knowthesegirlsone-on-onethroughouttheyearwasamazing.”TheColtsshowedtheir appreciationfor

CasalinoafterthegameatMitchel Field inUniondale when Casalino was visibly –andunderstandably –upsetafter thegame.“She’s as tough as nails,” Casalino’s

mother said from the bleachers whileholdingbacktears of herown. “ I’ve neverseenher like this.”SeveralColtscameup to Casalino,pat-

ting heron theback,someleaningin for ahug,asHills Westexitedthesoftball fieldfor thelast timethis season.“They weredevastated that they could-

n’t havepracticeonMonday,”Mitaritonnasaid.As for the gameitself, Hill s West had

trouble capitalizing on opportunities tobring runnershome.In thefirst inning,theColts loaded the bases with 2 outs.However, East Meadow’s pitcher, KerriShapiro, struck out Colts’ sophomoreSarah Auricchio to endthethreat.“Our philosophywas to jump on them

early,” Mitaritonnasaid.“We didn’t get itdonein thefirst inning, andthenit tookusanother five inningsto getanotheroppor-tunity.”With East Meadow jumping on the

boardin thethird inning thanksto a2-RBIdoublefromShapiro, theColtshadaholedug out for them that they just couldn’tclimb outof.Af ter twomoreopportunitiesto score in the fi fth and sixth provedunsuccessful, East Meadow widened itsleadto 3-0 afterClaireTravis droveaballover the wall to start the bottom of thesixth.“We knew that theyweregoing to bea

tough hitting team and that they weregoing to scoreruns,” Casalino,who willattending Yale University to study andplay in the fall, said.“That’s what it wasgoingto comedown to,oneor twobig hitsfor either team.”TheColtsrefusedto godown without a

fight, though.In a situation eerily similar to Hills

West’s comebackvictory overHauppauge

in the Suffolk County championship, theColts hadthe tying run on secondwith 2outs after sophomore Nicole Graberrippeda double down the line to score 2runsandbringHills Westwithin onein thebottom of the seventh.However,Shapiroinduceda ground ball from AlexandraParkas, a freshman, and the gamewasover.“ I justwantto thanktheparents,friends

and fanswho all cameout to support us,”Mitaritonnasaid.“I wasvery lucky to beable have this team, and I’m proud andhonored to havebeenapart of it.”While theColts graduatea “legend,” as

Mitaritonna said, in Casalino, the future

still looks bright for Hills West assheistheonly senioron theteamthis year.“You can’t replace a legend in

[Casalino],but,longstory short, we’ll finda way to get back to the playoffs,”Mitaritonnasaid.Granted,Casalino,who pitcheda per-

fect gamethis season,is almostassuredlythe most important component of thisyear’s team, but the Colts aren’t lettingthatget themdown.“I don’t know what’s going to happen

next year,”Alyse McAlpine , Hil ls West’ssophomore second baseman,said toMitaritonna.“But we’ll find a way to getback.”

but whenhepassedawaythey keptgoingandwantedtoget somethingdedicatedto him at the Greenlawn SkatePark, like a benchor a plaque.”Instead,oncethekidsapproachedthetown, thememo-
