LI Championship Teams Honored by School Board

Varsity football and girls volleyball teams praised for excellent, championship-filled seasons.

Babylon’s Long Island championship-winning football and girls volleyball teams were both honored at the December 17th Board of Education meeting at Babylon High School.

Both teams excelled during their 2012 campaigns with volleyball winning the Long Island Championship on November 13th and the Panthers football team won the Division IV Championship at Stony Brook University earlier this month.

Superintendent of Schools Richard Rozakis also had kind words for the students.

“Its with great admiration and appreciation that we honor the achievements of our Long Island champion volleyball team and our undefeated varsity football team," he said.

Also recognized was Kerry Glenday, the recipient of the New York State Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Suffolk Zone award.

“We had a tremendous fall season in all areas,” said Babylon Board President Dominic Bencivenga. “The school board is extremely proud of these students, as the achievements this year were very significant.”

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
