Voters in the Riverhead Central School District will get to vote on the 2010-2011 school budget and on two school board seats currently held by Mary-Ellen Harkin and Christine Prete. In addition to the incumbents (Harkin and Prete) three challengers to the board seats will be on the ballot including Amelia Lantz, Mary Meyer and Jeffrey Falisi.
A school budget hearing will be held at the high school on May 11 at 7 pm. Residents are invited to ask questions about the budget before the voting on May 18.
The Preserve Journal endorses.
The Preserve Journal endorses Mary Meyer for election to the Riverhead School Board. Mrs Meyer has been active in civic affairs and is a co-founder of the Suffolk County 9-12 Project. The Journal believes that in view of the recent and untimely $123 million dollar bond issue proposed by the present school board, that new thinking with fiscal responsibility must be shown by the board in these tough economic times. (The $123 million dollar bond issue was rejected by the citizens)

Supervisor Not Backing off on Soup Kitchen
Town Supervisor Sean Walter is adamant about the Open Arms soup kitchen vacating the old rail station building and is insistent that they find other quarters. Walter had suggested that the kitchen relocate to a town owned bulding in Calverton. No one thought this was a good idea. The kitchen must vacate in June.
