Town Honors Northport Marine By Renaming Street
Huntington Town Supervisor Frank P. Petrone, right, is joined by  Raymond Boccia, Councilwoman Susan Berland and members of the Boccia family on April 30, as Starlit Drive in Northport was renamed in honor of Capt. Joseph J. Boccia, Jr., a native of Northport and member of the United States Marine Corp. who was killed in 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon. Capt. Boccia, who graduated from Northport High School and Syracuse University, was killed when a suicide bomber drove a truck full of explosives into the U.S.M.C. barracks in what is considered the first terrorist attack on the United States. Capt. Boccia was serving on a Peace Keeping Mission and was killed along with 240 other military personnel. The ceremony began with students from Norwood Avenue School leading the pledge of allegiance and the sounds of “Amazing Grace” by bagpipe. Capt. Boccia attended the Norwood Avenue School as a youngster and grew up on Starlit Drive.

RELAY FOR LIFE
Syosset High School Juniors, Abby Levites, Corey Hirschhorn, Jason Calabretta and Hunter Kubryk (who recently lost his mom to breast cancer) are chairing this year's Syosset RELAY FOR LIFE on May 10, 2008 at Syosset High School.
Relay For Life®, the American Cancer Society's signature event, is a fun-filled overnight experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life ® events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors' lap and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease.
