Petrone, Cuthbertson, Berland Slam Republican Minority Over Failure to Vote on Bond Refinancing
Huntington Supervisor Frank P. Petrone and Town Council Members Mark Cuthbertson and Susan A. Berland charged today that the Town Board minority has jeopardized the Town’s financial health by failing to vote on a resolution that would save residents $700,000 by refinancing the Town’s debt.
“By their actions, Councilmen Mark Mayoka and Eugene Cook have politicized a good government effort whose only goal was to save taxpayers money. Instead, they have sent a message that could have serious repercussions for Town finances projecting years into the future,” Supervisor Petrone said.
Councilman Cuthbertson added, “Their blatantly political grandstanding conveniently ignores the fact that the information they said they needed before they voted was actually contained in a resolution they voted for at the first Town Board meeting this year. In addition, waiting until the Town Board meeting to raise questions shows that they really didn’t want the answers. This is a sad day for Huntington residents.”
"Huntington’s informed voters will see through this costly political ploy and understand that if we don't work together in Town Hall, all Town residents will come out losers at the end,” Councilwoman Berland said. “Not only does their failure to vote on the refinancing potentially cost taxpayers money, it sends a negative message to the financial community that could affect the AAA bond rating the Town has worked so hard to achieve and maintain and could deter investors from buying Town bonds. And in fact, rebonding at lower interest rates saves taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, It's a no-brainer."

Town Unveils Interpretive Marker at Old Burying Ground
 Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone and members of the Town Council, joined by representatives from the Town’s African-American Historic Designation Council and Historic Preservation Commission and the Huntington Historical Society, recently unveiled a new interpretive marker at the Old Burying Ground, one of the most historic and sacred sites in the Town.
Located on Main Street in Huntington Village, the Old Burying Ground, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is also a locally designated historic landmark, within the Old Town Hall Historic District. Over the course of 300 years, from the first European settlement of the town in the mid-seventeenth century until 1957, as many as 6,000 to 8,000 people may have been buried there. Only 1,250 markers remain. During the American Revolution, British troops built a fort at the top, damaging many of the gravestones.

NORTHPORT HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S “A TASTE OF NORTHPORT” TO SPOTLIGHT INDIAN CUISINE
Northport Historical Society’s new monthly dining series will shift gears in May with a special “Indian Taste of Northport on Bayview Avenue.” This event will be held at a private residence on the waterfront street beginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 19th.
The evening will feature foods from the Mangalore region of the West Coast of India. This area has a wide variety of cuisines that use almost the same basic ingredients including rice, coconut, and fish, as well as staple spices like cumin, coriander, peppercorns, cloves and cinnamon to subtly differentiate flavors. When the Portuguese conquered the Goa region 500 years ago, pork was introduced into the mix and a new cuisine evolved. New Christian converts from Goa later fled the region to escape the Inquisition there, but retained their Christianity and the “new” cuisine as they settled further down the coast in Mangalore. Taking inspiration from this, the menu will include a number of Mangalorean specialties.

The 1st Lt. James Byler Charity Run
U.S. Marine First Lieutenant James Byler, an infantry platoon leader with the Third Battalion, 5th Marines, Camp Pendleton, California, was injured when he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED). While leading his platoon on a dismounted patrol of a narrow alley in Northern Helmand Province, one of the deadliest provinces in Afghanistan, First Lieutenant Byler stepped backward on an IED that was buried in the dirt.
He remained conscious until he was anesthetized him in the Medevac chopper. The superior training his men received enabled them to stabilize him and save his life. Both of Byler’s legs were amputated above the knee, and he lost both pinky fingers. After being cared for in U.S. military hospitals in Afghanistan and Europe, Byler was transferred to the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland. MORE INFO
