Page One: The Week That Was

It was a busy news week in Huntington.

Headlining this week was Suffolk Legis. Jon Cooper's reaction to the gay marriage vote in New York; village elections in Lloyd harbor and Huntington Bay; two fatal traffic accidents; graduations at local high schools; and an announcement by the YMCA regarding a program to offer half-day kindergarten classes.

Here's a list of this week's top stories:

A Port Jefferson man was struck and killed in an accident on a Huntington Station road Friday morning. Suffolk County Police Second Squad detectives are investigating the motor vehicle crash that killed Francisco Cardozo, 53.

A Huntington Station woman was killed and two other people were injured when a car that was clipped veered over the median, striking another vehicle head-on, according to police.

New York became the sixth state to legalize gay marriage Friday night in a historic vote which some say could have national implications. The moment was deeply moving for at least one Huntington resident.

Mayor Leland Hairr and three incumbent trustee candidates were re-elected in Lloyd Harbor Tuesday to four-year terms. Hairr, who has served since 1999, defeated mayoral challenger George Schertl 492-319.

Huntington High School's 150th Commencement was an evening filled with recognition, sentiment and advice from both young and old. Dressed in blue and white cap and gowns, 252 Huntington graduates sat patiently in the school auditorium Friday as a list of honorees and guests addressed a large crowd which included family, friends, teachers and administrators.

245 boys and 206 girls received diplomas from  at the school's commencement ceremony on Friday night, where their graduation from high school was celebrated by their family, friends and teachers.

The Huntington YMCA announced today it will offer four half-day kindergarten classes at Temple Beth El beginning next school year. The plan was developed in response to a recent measure by the Hunington school board which cut kindergarten class days in half.

Going two for two, trustees John McCuscker and Dennis Gai were re-elected to the Huntington Bay Board of Trustees Tuesday. As in 2009, each man ran unopposed.
