A deadly shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado has spurred Suffolk County into action, with a growing police presence surrounding similar clinics in Huntington. Robert Lewis, 57, allegedly opened fire at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic on Nov. 27, killing three and injuring nine, according to published reports in the Associated Press. While the horrific scene may have occurred more than 1,000 miles away, the Suffolk County Police Department said it was taking no chances when it comes to protecting clinics on the Island. In a statement, the department said it would be increasing patrols near the five Planned Parenthood clinics throughout Suffolk, including 755 New York Ave. in Huntington. Police vehicles were stationed there for much of the week so far, but the department said there weren’t any credible threats targeting any county clinics. “While no specific threats have been made toward Planned Parenthood locations in Suffolk County, the department will enhance patrols and remain in contact with other law enforcement agencies for the most up-to-date information regarding the potential for similar attacks,” the department said in a statement. When reached for comment, the Huntington Planned Parenthood clinic deferred to a statement from Reina Schiffrin, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood
Hudson Peconic, who spoke of grief for those affected by the horrific shooting. “The hearts of the staff at Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic are with the families of the victims of this senseless tragedy, as well as our colleagues across the country and particularly PP of the Rocky Mountains,” she said. “The safety and security of our patients and staff has always been our top priority, and we are very grateful to the Suffolk County Police for their response to this event and for expanding their presence at our five health centers in Suffolk County. Our doors remain open and we will continue to provide high quality health care to the women, men and teens of Suffolk County.” Suffolk County cops also teamed up with Planned Parenthood administrators this week to offer crime prevention training, the department said in a statement. The goal of the crime prevention program, the department said, is to reduce opportunities for crime at sensitive locations while also combatting fear. “Suffolk Police officers will assess the locations and provide information on how building design and environmental influences can affect human and criminal behavior,” the department said in a statement. “Officers will speak to Planned Parenthood officials about the importance of camera systems, target hardening, natural surveillance, facility access control, and territorial reinforcement, which may be used to decrease crime.”

The new Asharoken Village Hall opened its doors with a dedication ceremony on Nov. 24, ending a 10-year journey of replacing a battered building at the center of the village. “So many people came to join in on the festivities,” Asharoken Trustee and Police Commissioner Mel Ettinger said, referring to the more than 100 residents
who gathered with Mayor Greg Letica, the board of trustees, Congressman Steve Israel (D-Huntington) and New York State Senator Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset). “It made it a fantastic event and a phenomenal success in every way possible.” The new village hall opened for business last month and is a large expansion from the previous building — the ground floor alone is about 3,000 square feet. There is a larger, improved space for
the police station, and the whole thing was built to be more environmentally friendly and energy efficient, with LED lighting and spray-foam insulation. According to a statement, Letica said at the dedication that the process to get to the finish line had been long, and that Ettinger was a key player from the start. “The project to build a new village hall was actually started almost 10 years ago … initially as an expansion to our old
village hall,” Letica said. But funding either an expansion or a construction of a new building was always a major concern. Ettinger said he started organizing the renovation project when he first became police commissioner and was told he could go ahead with it as long as it didn’t increase taxes. That was when Ettinger decided to raise the money VILLAGE HALL continued on page A11

A Northport Village Christmas Story Local hardware store celebrates 10th leg lighting By Victoria Espinoza
Northport residents gathered to see the town’s “award” light up for a 10th straight year. Northport Hardware Co. has held a leg
lamp-lighting ceremony for the past decade, playing off the famous lamp from the holiday classic “A Christmas Story.” “I think it’s so popular because it’s a hometown event,” said Northport Village Mayor George Doll, who is the master of ceremonies for the lighting. “All the locals thought it was a great idea and it’s just grown and grown every year.” This year, there were more than 100 people gathered outside the hardware store. The Reichert family has owned the shop for more than 30 years, and when the leg lamps first began being sold, the Reicherts decided to have an impromptu lighting. “We pulled a couple of guys from Gunther’s [Tap Room] and had the mayor light it,” Jim Reichert, one of the owners of the hardware store, said of the original lighting. Every year after, it became more elaborate, according to Reichert. A projector outside the store plays the movie, a snow machine adds to the ambiance, and the Northport High School kickline team performs for the crowd. Reichert said that the event is a village collaboration, with residents volunteering

to do the lighting, the sound and more. “It’s a great family night,” he said. “I never expected it to grow this much.” Doll said when the event started, there
was no intention of making the lighting an annual ceremony, but “the event just took a life of its own, and every year people ask if we’re going to do it again.”

Port stands behind ‘Port School district joins local tax lawsuit against LIPA ard Kessel, in which Kessel said the utility would not file property tax challenges “on any of their respective properties at any time in the future unless a municipality abusively increases its assessment rate.” The “respective properties” referenced include the Northport and Port Jefferson power plants, which are owned and operated by energy company National Grid. That company sells the energy it produces to the Long Island utility. In Northport, the power plant’s property taxes provide a lot of support to the area’s budgets, paying roughly $70 million every year, making the potential loss of that revenue a serious issue for Northport Village, the schools and the Town of Huntington. In an announcement posted on its website last week, the Port Jefferson school district said, “Our decision to join this lawsuit is a necessary step to protect the resources of our school dis-
By Elana Glowatz
The Northport-East Northport school district gained another ally last week, when the Port Jefferson school district climbed aboard a lawsuit against the Long Island Power Authority that challenges the utility’s efforts to reduce its property taxes at North Shore power plants. LIPA has been working for the last several years to significantly reduce taxes at the aging Northport and Port Jefferson plants, saying the facilities are grossly overassessed and force the utility to pay more in property taxes than it should. But the Port Jefferson school board voted on Nov. 24 to join a lawsuit filed by the Town of Huntington and the Northport-East Northport school district that disputes LIPA’s legal right to file its tax challenges, claiming they are a breach of contract. That argument stems from a 1997 letter from former LIPA Chairman Rich-

At that time, a LIPA spokesperson said that the utility does not comment on ongoing litigation. After the utility’s motion to dismiss was denied — representing a small victory for those fighting LIPA’s tax chal-

lenges — Port Jefferson Village filed a separate lawsuit in September that alleges the same breach of contract as the schools’ lawsuit. Village Attorney Brian Egan requested that court action on LIPA’s tax challenges, which are still pending in the court system, be delayed until the new lawsuits are resolved. If the plaintiffs win their arguments, the pending tax challenges would be thrown out. According to Egan, however, those lawsuits are now facing a new motion to dismiss, this time from National Grid.

Suffolk County is getting more serious about a smelly situation. Sixteen months ago, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) bumped water quality issues to the top of his todo list. Now, the Suffolk County Health Department is reviewing existing sewage treatment plant sites, its enforcement and possible means to strengthen current regulatory programs. Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. James Tomarken said the program could be more effective despite the efforts of wastewater management staff members. “As a part of a comprehensive approach to improve water quality, it makes sense to review our existing regulatory programs in consultation with governmental agencies and other stakeholders to identify areas where those programs can be improved,” Tomarken said in a press release. According to Peter Scully, deputy county executive, there aren’t any specific steps to improve the programs yet. Earlier last month the health department met with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Suffolk County Water Authority, on Nov. 5 and Nov. 16, respectively. Scully said the department addressed regulation efforts and compliance issues with the DEC while they tackled water quality
concerns and siting requirements for the sewage treatment plants. According to the county executive’s website, there’s an excess of 200,000 on-site residential wastewater disposal systems in environmentally compromised areas in the county as of last year. Reviewing the existing programs is an extension of Bellone’s Reclaim Our Waters Initiative. He announced the initiative in March of 2014 to address the county’s poor water quality. Nitrogen pollution is rampant in the water, which not only affects the water quality but also the organisms living in these waters. The Town of Brookhaven took on similar efforts to address Brookhaven’s declining water quality. In October, the town issued its own study about Long Island’s water, starting with the Setauket Harbor. While that study will take up to a year, conducting the review on the county’s regulatory programs may take several months, according to Scully. The sewage plant application process will also be evaluated. The health department receives around three applications annually. The review will examine whether the department has adequate penalties for those who don’t comply with sewage plant siting regulations. The regulation process of new facilities or those under order is also up for examination. Scully said this is to help make the facilities better for the environment.

Society hosts holiday house tour BY VICTORIA ESPINOZA
Plan on decking the halls this season with the Huntington Historical Society. The group will be hosting its annual holiday house self-guided tour this Sunday, Dec. 6, when participants will take a tour of five private houses and two museums in Huntington. “It’s a nice way to kick off the holidays and get into the spirit,� said Maria DeLeo, office coordinator of the Huntington Historical Society. “Many families and big groups of friends come together to celebrate.� All houses will be decorated for the holidays and will have a representative from the historical society to answer any questions, DeLeo said. Each house is at least 100 years old, according to DeLeo, and displays different
kinds of architecture with many aspects of the homes in their original form. The oldest house by far on the tour is the Cornelia Prime House, with construction beginning back in 1760. According to the historical society, Prime donated money to the Huntington Trade School, was a benefactor of the Huntington Hospital and donated the famous tower clock to town hall. The Panfield Manor House is another stop on the tour. Its original owner led the incorporation of the Village of Lloyd Harbor in 1926 and became its first mayor, according to the historical society. The Dr. Daniel Kissam House Museum and the David Conklin Farmhouse Museum will also be decorated for Christmas and open to all participants of the holiday house tour. DeLeo said the tour itself is more than

20 years old, and the society expects as many as 500 people to come this year. “We have people calling in October asking about the event,� DeLeo said. “It’s very popular and many people come back year after year.�
The Huntington Holiday House Tour Committee starts searching for properties to feature over the summer, and DeLeo said the event is possible because of the generous people who open up their homes to her group. The Huntington Historical Society was created in 1903 as an exclusively female organization. DeLeo said the founders were inspired by the town’s 250th anniversary celebration, which they took part in, as well as President Theodore Roosevelt, who was the featured speaker. The first charter named the group the Colonial Society of Huntington, and when the organization received a new charter in 1911, they renamed themselves the Huntington Historical Society.

Lloyd Harbor honors sacrifices past and present
At Lloyd Harbor School in Cold Spring Harbor school district, students honored the sacrifices of soldiers past and present. The school’s sixth graders learned about Lt. Douglas Wauchope, who lived right next door to the school. He graduated from the school in 1950 and went on to study at West Point and to eventually serve in Vietnam as a U.S. Marine. He was killed in June 1965 leading troops in a skirmish with the Viet Cong. Fifty years after his death, Lloyd Harbor dedicated a memorial to his service and
sacrifice on the front lawn of the school. Students learned that someone who once sat in the same classrooms as they do served his country with honor and even gave his life for his country. “There is a great deal of relevance to today’s world in a death that occurred 50 years ago. Let’s hope our students learn that history is always with us, that the past must inform today’s decisions,” said Board of Education President Robert C. Hughes. Principal Valerie Massimo said how students honor the country’s current soldiers:
“Each year, Lloyd Harbor students learn about Veterans Day and the important role veterans have in our lives. The students celebrated these brave men and women in the Armed Forces who put their lives at risk to ensure we can enjoy the freedoms in everyday life. For the second year in a row, the student council paid special tribute to one soldier in particular, U.S. naval aviator Richard Mooney, a 27-year-old helicopter pilot and relative of a CSH family, who helped guide our efforts to send packages overseas to active soldiers.”
The packages are heading to undisclosed locations, to aircraft carriers deployed to the western Pacific, where soldiers live for 10 months during their mission. In addition, high school social studies teacher Allison Halloran had her leadership class join the collection. Students filled four large boxes packed with essential toiletries and snacks for the soldiers. The community’s generosity was overwhelming; they donated, wrote notes of thanks to the soldiers and helped deliver reminders from home brightening soldiers’ spirits this holiday season.

Fifth-grade students at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School filled their cultural suitcase with artifacts and made traditional foods that represent their heritage.
A feast of cultures at H’fields
To celebrate and explore different cultures, students in Kristin Anderson and Stacy Kalish’s fifth-grade classes at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School in Harborfields school district hosted a Multicultural Feast on Nov. 20. To prepare for the feast, students were tasked with packing a “cultural suitcase,” filled with artifacts, books, photos and family heirlooms that represented their heritage. Students also selected a traditional dish to share with
peers and family members in attendance at the feast. During the event, fifth-graders displayed their suitcases and the items inside on tables. To showcase traditional garments that depicted their culture, some students dressed in costumes and wore accessories. Parents and family members circled the room to admire the cultural suitcases, taste different foods and ask the students questions about their project.

Troop raises $1,114 for parish program Boy Scouts of America Troop 5, of East Northport, sold popcorn to benefit Parish Outreach at St. Anthony of Padua R.C. Church in East Northport. The boys manned several booths outside the church before and after Saturday and Sunday masses, and parishioners
generously purchased bags of kettle corn, buffalo cheddar cheese popcorn, caramel corn and other popular items, in addition to making donations. In all, Troop 5 raised $1,114 from the sale this year. Over the last 14 years, the troop has raised $17,203 for the charity.

through donations. “Within the first 10 days of announcing that, I received a check for $10,000 from a resident,” Ettinger said. “Before you knew it, people were sending in checks and pledges left and right. And within the next year and a half, we already had $175,000.” But when Hurricane Sandy hit three years ago, irreparably damaging the structure, the village ditched all plans of renovating it. Letica said the storm forced everyone in village hall to abandon the building and start an “urgent project” to erect a new one. Joan Ettinger, Mel’s wife, formed the Asharoken Building Fundraising Committee, which, according to Letica, ended up raising $360,000 from more than 200 residents and “has enabled the village to fund the cost of this beautiful building.” Letica said funding was also made

possible with help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which reimburses municipalities for repair work following natural disasters.
“Congressman Israel was extremely helpful with … processing our claim with FEMA, and I am certain that, if not for his personal support and efforts, we would have not been able to receive the grant of $538,855,” Letica said. “I was honored to work with Mayor Letica and local partners to secure the FEMA grants necessary to rebuild the Asharoken Village Hall so it is better equipped to serve residents and withstand future natural disasters,” Israel said in an email. “The grand reopening of the hall is the perfect example of the resilience of Long Islanders and the willingness of our community to work together at every level to rebuild stronger than before Superstorm Sandy.” He also said Marcellino helped the village obtain an additional $50,000 grant. The total project cost about $950,000. The new village trustee meeting room, on the building’s first floor, will soon have a donor board, where the names of people who have donated will be showcased.

Residential Styles Learn about the home styles in your market and beyond. Our Residential Styles guide includes illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions about popular styles. Plus, use our Home Features guide to learn about architectural elements such as dormers, roofs, and arches that make a property distinct.
Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from onestory cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you'll find rustic exteriors and sheltered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, this style can be house boxy or lowslung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape Cod homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straightedge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rectangular design and secondfloor bedrooms.
Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian's classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt. Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Victorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and
Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian With paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty. Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door. Gothic Revival English romanticism influenced this style, marked by Gothic windows and vaulted roofs. Spanish Eclectic This style has details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Greek Revival Entryway columns and a front door surrounded by rectangular windows are characteristic. Split Level A Modern style, Split levels sequester living activities, such as sleeping and socializing.
International The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts. Stick Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards are typical of this Victorian style. Italianate This style has symmetrical bay windows in front, small chimneys, and tall windows. Tudor Tudors have half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and steep cross gables. Monterey The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an Adobe brick exterior. Victorian Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture incorporated decorative details such as patterned shingles. National Rooted in Native American dwellings, the National style is rectangular with sidegabled roofs. 7KH DERYH LQIRUPDWLRQ LV SURYLGHG E\ 7KH 1DWLRQDO $VVRFLDWLRQ RI 5HDOWRUV Š

OPINION ediToriAL
Shootings effect spreads to Suffolk Colorado Springs is not around the corner. But the effects of a tragic shooting there the day after Thanksgiving have trickled down and made a very real impact on Suffolk County. We spent much of the fall season interviewing candidates running for various offices, and more than once we were reminded that our county police department was being stretched too thin. Fast forward a few weeks to the aftermath of Friday’s shooting at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado that killed three and injured nine. our county police department announced it would be increasing patrols near the five clinics in its jurisdiction as a result. The department also committed itself to training Planned Parenthood officials in crime prevention, which hopefully will provide a more lasting impact on preventing similar tragedies here. Sometimes there is a disconnect between the national conversation and the small-town scuttlebutt, but this is an example of how one person’s actions can have a nationwide effect. in our case, it is strapping an already taxed police department. The consequences are real, and there are things we could do on a local level that could perhaps trickle in the opposite direction — up to the national conversation. We could strive to better care for our neighbors, both through publicly funded mental health programs that provide more access to treatment and more comprehensively deal with mental illness, and by speaking up when someone we know is behaving erratically or speaking in an alarming manner. We are seeing more and more irrationally thinking people commit acts like the shooting in Colorado Springs, in which the assailant targeted people unknown to him. And it seems impossible that none of these perpetrators displayed irrational behavior or thought beforehand. A strongly connected community is an excellent safety net. We should work to weave ours tighter.

World AIDS Day a critical moment To The ediTor: We have come a long way in the fight against hiV/AidS—since the Millennium development Goals were first adopted in 2000 through 2013, new hiV infections have fallen by roughly 40 percent.

sion, discrimination, lack of education and violence, which put them at increased risk of acquiring hiV. Many don’t realize that Planned Parenthood is a leading educator and provider of hiV testing in the United States. in 2013 alone, the last year for which data is available, Planned Parenthood health centers provided 704,000 hiV tests nationwide. in 2014, Planned Parenthood hudson Peconic health centers and SmartWheels mobile education and testing vans provided 13,100 rapid hiV tests in Westchester, rockland, Putnam and Suffolk counties. Yet rather than supporting such needed efforts to end the epidemic in our community, we anticipate that anti-women’s health members of Congress will continue
to push for a policy rider that defunds Planned Parenthood in the next round of budget negotiations. defunding Planned Parenthood really means taking health care — including testing and treatment for STis like hiV away from the 2.7 million women, men and young people Planned Parenthood serves each year. i encourage you to #StandWithPP and support efforts to end hiV/AidS. Now is the time to move forward, not backward, on this issue that has impacted so many millions around the world. Let’s protect our progress and double down on our efforts to end this epidemic. reina Schiffrin Planned Parenthood hawthorne, N.Y.

A holiday gift for the planet and our wallets
D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

uring the holidays we donate coats to the homeless, buy presents for strangers and send cards to the brave soldiers representing our country far from home. In addition to those charitable efforts during this time of year, how about if we come up with ways to give to our planet? Huh? In light, if you’ll pardon the pun, of the current
United Nations climate-change meeting of world leaders in Paris, perhaps we can add a few small items to our lists. And, no, most of them don’t require spending any money. In fact, they will help save money. For starters, and this is something my Depression-era grandparents ingrained in me from an early age, turn off the lights in rooms we don’t use. I know that’s tough, especially during this darker time of year, but it cuts our electric bill. That’s an extra few bucks in your pocket at a time when our kids absolutely, positively, have to get the latest, greatest, fastest, most-fashionable present to pass the holiday parent test. When we drive somewhere and wait for someone, turn off those engines. Seriously, idling is something we should never do. It wastes gas and pollutes the environment. I appreciate all the effort parents make to sit outside schools, piano
lessons, practices and games, waiting to pick up their children. But leaving the engine on is not only unnecessary, it fills the air with pollutants just before our children step in the car. Having sat in cars in temperatures below freezing for close to a half-hour, I assure you that the car stays warm if you don’t open your window or door. Seriously, try it. It also gives us those cherished moments of silence. Then, there’s the thermostat. Yeah, I know we like it warm, but for the month of December, how about turning it down just 2 degrees? If that becomes unbearable, lower it just 1 degree. It might not seem like much individually, but that can and will make a huge difference collectively. During the night we can turn off our computers and printers. These machines are much faster at booting up than the same electronics were just a decade ago. While we’re
waiting for our computers to come back online, we can check our emails, send important messages about what we just realized we need to get from the store, and send instant messages to people around the world. OK, so, we’ve got that shopping list and we know you’ll forget something because the overstimulating holiday environment of most stores has an ability to soften our brains. The bright and clever displays and constant caroling music on the radio encourage us to buy something that wasn’t on the list, turning us into consumer marionettes. But if we were more efficient about our holiday shopping, we could buy that extra thing and still cross everything else off the list. What does that buy us? It gives us more time to write that rhyming couplet expressing our enduring love for our spouse and it reduces the amount of

time we’re running back and forth to stores. How about walking? I know it seems hard to imagine carrying everything from store to store but, let’s face it, it’s hard to find parking spots anyway. Instead of using gas to get from one place to another, by walking we could burn off that extra piece of pumpkin pie that called to us from the refrigerator. Like so many other efforts at this time of year, giving to our planet will bring returns for us, our children and grandchildren down the road.

An offbeat plumbing cult from Japan
between you and me by leah S. DuNaief
I
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
f you are looking for a holiday gift that is out of the ordinary, I have a suggestion for you. In fact, this particular product has been written up recently in The New York Times in the Fashion & Style section so dramatically that it has caught people’s imagination. Perhaps that is because the giver of the gift can realize as much benefit as the receiver. Ready for the offbeat suggestion?
The Times sums it up with this headline: “The Cult of the Toto Toilet.” What? You may say that you have had indoor plumbing all your life. You may even have a commode previously manufactured by Toto, the Japanese plumbing company. But the object of this cult, dear reader, is no ordinary bit of plumbing. If you own one, it will change your life. Let me explain. While this Toto marvel may look the same as a regular toilet bowl as it quietly sits in the bathroom, when you lift the lid the differences become obvious. You see several buttons in a housing alongside the seat. And like many of the latest electronic luxury items, its use is intuitive. There is the on-off switch, two different buttons that regulate temperature and a couple more that control position of the flow. This seat, you see, is actually a bidet, with all the benefits brought right to your doorstep, so to speak.
Called a Toto washlet, the product has inspired unbelievable devotion. This Japanese creation boasts a heated seat, a bidet function for a thorough cleanse and, if you have one of the more recent models, “an air purifying system that deodorizes during use,” according to the Times. There is even an air dryer, virtually eliminating the need for toilet paper if you have higher tolerance for risk. I first saw the washlet when I visited Japan seven or eight years ago. It seemed like such an upscale item, yet it was so widespread: in hotels, department stores, restaurants and airports. I was so impressed with its functionality that when I returned home I called my plumber to see if I could order one. He thought I was kidding when I described how it worked. I challenged him to call his supplier before he totally laughed me off, and then call me back with the answer. He did, 20 minutes later,

and added that in addition to mine, he was going to buy one for himself. I was not so surprised on my trip to China this past September to find such a seat in the home of a Chinese family. Though they are still a novelty here, they are more common in Asia, and they are now made by more companies than just Toto. The installation of the washlet is a little complicated in an existing bathroom. In addition to bringing a water line to the seat, an electric outlet needs to be placed within a cord’s reach of the commode, and this is counter to the normal safety regulations for distance between electricity and water. Therefore this outlet has to be one certified for use near water, like the one near the bathroom sink used for shavers or hair dryers, and the electric line probably has to be snaked over behind the bathroom wall from the nearest source of electricity. This is not impossible, however, LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz
There is a real health component in the Toto washlet. but it is the largest expense in making this change. I can tell you, and so can everyone who has one, that it is well worth the effort and not just as a luxury or convenience. There is a real health component. The washlet I have is the most basic, and the entire transition cost in the three figures. But now there are many more upscale and sophisticated models. They can also be a lot more expensive. Features can include urine testing and other medical data that can then be relayed via the Internet directly to physicians. But you can still get the stripped-down version, like the most basic model of washing machine or dishwasher, and that is quite sufficient to take you to a better place.

Blue Devils prepare for Suffolk title defense Track & Field Head coach Ron Wilson knows he has a good squad, but is it good enough to successfully defend the Suffolk Division II title that the Blue Devil boys’ winter track and field team captured last year? The winter campaign is now underway and knowing that Huntington has one of the top indoor track teams on Long Island brings a smile to the face of the veteran coach. The Blue Devils feature returning 4x400-meter relay state champions Infinite Tucker, Exzayvian Crowell, Kyree Johnson and Lawrence Leake. The Fantastic Four also won league, county, Long Island and LI Millrose Games titles. Huntington boasts a roster that has talent and depth in just about every event this winter. “Our strength in terms of quality and balance, however, lies in that of our sprinters and jumpers,” Wilson said. Juniors Johnson and Leake are two of Suffolk’s best sprinters. Newcomer Kei Ron Byrams is expected to make an immediate splash with his speed and athleticism. “He should definitely help,” Wilson said of the junior. “We graduated a great cast of throwers last year in Matteo McNeil and Jimmie Nelson,” Wilson said. “But we have a few throwers that will definitely draw some attention this year. Seniors Michael Lonergan, Amaru Jones, Vernon Alexander and Tasean Betts earned All-League honors during the spring season and should really be competitive this year.” Sophomore strongmen Clay Jamison and Sam Bergman are two more throwers expected to be competitive this winter. Bergman was runner-up in the Suffolk

freshmen shot put championship. “Our distance program has shown a steady improvement,” Wilson said. Seniors Kyle O’Brien and Tom Kopstein earned All-League honors last spring and should be a factor this year. Joining the distance crew during the indoor season is junior Shane McGuire, who exploded on the scene last spring with a string of sensational performances, including AllLeague, All-County and All-State honors. “He just finished an exciting cross country season and should do well this winter,” Wilson said.
Senior Mitch Rudish and junior Mark Rafuse were alternates on last winter’s 4x400 relay team and are set to take a big step forward this season. The roster includes a bunch of newcomers to the sport and the school. “With a bit of luck and good health, we should do well,” Wilson said. “We are a fairly balanced team this year, with a pretty solid lineup.” Seniors Tucker and Crowell will contend in the 55 hurdles, among other events. Joining them will be sophomores Brian Pierre and Luke Eidle. Pierre won the freshman class of the 400 interme-
diate hurdles and took second place in the 110 high hurdles last spring. Sophomores Nick Sanin and Will Vollack were competitive last winter and should improve this year. “We will look to advance several of our athletes to the state championship this year,” Wilson said. Huntington has won two consecutive league titles, but this year’s competition is expected to be especially fierce. “This year the pressure will be on,” Wilson said. “It’s always difficult to defend your championship title. There are a number of great teams in our league, including Smithtown East, North Babylon, West Islip, Half Hollow Hills West, West Babylon, Deer Park, Bellport, EastportSouth Manor and East Islip. These teams boast some outstanding athletes.” The Blue Devil have carved out a national reputation during recent winter and spring seasons. “Our top returning athletes are determined to compete at a high level and those who are joining us this season for the first time will look to make a name for themselves as well,” Wilson said. Huntington is again set to travel to some of the most prestigious high school meets in the country this winter, including the Dartmouth Relays in New Hampshire, the Rhode Island Classic and to the new facility on Staten Island for a showdown with some of the best athletes from New York City and New Jersey. “We know and understand that our road to a championship is going to be a difficult one,” Wilson said. “However, our boys have never backed down to a challenge.”
