Local fan catches part of Super Bowl victory celebration in the city and some at Huntington diner.
Ticker-tape parades usually bring out feelings of pride and joy, but in terms of New York togetherness, Tuesday's Manhattan event was extra special for one local Giants fan. "Everybody was so happy, it was a beautiful thing," said Ed Kolderman from East Northport who left his job on Park Avenue at about 9 a.m. Tuesday, just as an estimated 1 million people began to gather for the 11 a.m. parade in lower Manhattan. "The next thing I know, I'm looking around and I see all the blue and I said to myself, hey, that answers that question," said Kolderman, at the Golden Dolphin Diner on Main Street in Huntington Tuesday afternoon.

St. Anthony’s graduate wins unaminous decision after 8 rounds; remains unbeaten.
Rising boxing star and Greenlawn resident Chris Algieri told the press he'd look to end every fight inside the distance before Saturday's Star Boxing Card at the Paramount. Algieri looked for the knockout early, and found a durable opponent in Atlanta's Curtis Smith (10-5, 5 KO), who had never been stopped. After four lively rounds, Algieri took control of the action, and the fight's pace, and began to operate like a surgeon, outworking Smith to a unanimous decision victory after 8 rounds. Judges Robin Taylor and Ron Mcnair scored the bout 80-72 for Algieri, and Judge John Mckaie scored the bout 78-74 for the Huntingtonian. Algieri said after the bout that he expects to be back in the ring in March, possibly again at the Paramount.

Friars have 30 seniors committed to play sports at the next level, led by nine girls soccer players.
St. Anthony’s senior Olicia Williams is up before the sun running the streets of her native Hempstead and nearby Garden City. Riding along closely behind her in the family Nissan is her father, Keith Williams. The two-mile course through darkened neighborhoods is a ritual father and daughter have abided by three times a week going back since she was 5. “We used to run together,” the elder Williams said. “Then I got a bike. But I couldn’t keep up. So now I drive the car.” “Sometimes people will stop and ask, ‘Is he bothering you?’” Olicia Williams said with a smile. “I say, ‘It’s my dad, it’s fine.’ They think he’s following me.” He was, charting her progress through the odometer, one tenth of a mile at a time. Those predawn workouts …
