So a little while ago I saw a CBS guy and a cameraman so I didn’t know what happened at Commack High School until I saw this.

A Commack High School track  coach and night custodian was arrested Tuesday on charges of sexually abusing a 15-year-old student, Suffolk police said.

Bryan Tornee, 26, of Commack, surrendered to police at the Seventh Precinct in Shirley Tuesday, said his lawyer, Charles Russo, of Hauppauge.

This makes me wonder if that CBS reporter is “smart” enough to try to talk to kids. That’s what it looked like he was getting ready to try and do. By the way, also have to like the school’s statement on the matter.

An assistant coach for the boys track team and part time night custodian has been suspended from the Commack School District due to alleged misconduct with a student that took place off of school grounds during the winter vacation period. When the District learned of the allegations, the employee was immediately suspended, and was banned from all school premises.

The alleged incident did not involve a member of the team he was coaching. The alleged incident was immediately brought to the attention of the Suffolk County police, and the District continues to cooperate fully with the investigation. The District will continue to monitor this matter and take appropriate action after the judicial proceeding has been resolved.

This combined with the Bagel Store story already, make this town very interesting all of the sudden.

So I’ll share a few stories on this once great bagel place.

One time I was going in to get a bagel before going to Bristol, CT and I have my Marist keychain on. The man behind the counter says “you went to Marist?” so I say yes and he says, “I went to the CIA [Culinary Institute of America] just up the road.” So I figure, he must be the one who made all these great bagels/cream cheeses.

About a few months later the place is sold to a new owner. This new owner, I never met him, but the bagels went downhill fast. Not only did even the Sesame bagels taste weird but the French Toast bagels (they were great by the way) didn’t even look like bagels anymore. So I’m guessing a lot of people agreed with me and business was going down, so apparently the owner thought of the most rational solution:

Firefighters apprehended a bagel store owner shortly after he tried to set fire to his own store in a Commack strip mall, officials said Friday.

Salvatore D. Dirato, 49, the owner of the Bagel Cafe, was still in the darkened store on Jericho Turnpike on Thursday evening when Commack firefighters arrived in response to a 911 call from the adjoining pizza restaurant, fire officials said.

“The workers from the pizza place called it in because they were getting some smoke and were worried about the whole strip going up,” said Commack Fire Chief Steve Fontana. “I was the first on the scene. . . . When I approached, I happened to see somebody in there, and he went through the back door.”

Assistant Chief Andy Babajko then grabbed Dirato and held him for police, Fontana said.

About 15 Commack firefighters responded to the alarm, Fontana said. The blaze did not spread to the adjacent businesses and for the most part extinguished itself, Fontana said. It was declared under control within 15 minutes of his arrival, he said.

Dirato was charged with second-degree attempted arson and criminal mischief. A spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota said the fire was started at the store’s oven and charred one of its walls.

The spokesman, Bob Clifford, said Dirato also used a crowbar on a nearby automated teller machine that evening, destroying the mechanism and causing $2,000 damage.

Dirato pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Friday in First District Court in Central Islip, said Patrick Lanigan of Coram, Dirato’s attorney. Lanigan declined further comment.

Dirato was ordered held on $25,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond.

Only in Commack.
