Town adopts 2016 operating budget By giSelle Barkley

Town of Brookhaven officials and residents have one less thing to worry about next year, now that the 2016 budget has been finalized. On Nov. 19, the town board approved Supervisor Ed Romaine’s nearly $281 million proposed operating budget, which complies with the New York State cap on tax levy increases — in fact holding it, and thus residents’ property taxes, steady next year. According to a previous interview with Finance Commissioner Tamara Wright, who helped Romaine (R) craft the budget, the town accomplished this by properly managing its capital projects and by satisfying debts. Earlier this year, the town finished paying off an $8.4

million debt connected to the New York State employees’ retirement system, allowing the town to save about $1 million annually. But its efforts to reduce debt will not end there — going forward, Romaine said, the town will continue addressing that issue and prioritizing expenditures. “You should not spend money you do not have,” he said. “We’re very much aware of that, and we’re monitoring all of our expenses very carefully.” Some funds that would have gone toward the completed debt payments will instead be used to fund other parts of the budget in 2016. The budget also allocates $5.2 million for the highway department’s snow removal budget, a number that has been incrementally increas-

smithtown is one of five Planned Parenthood clinics in suffolk County. By Phil Corso

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 and

Smithtown. 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. And while the horrific scene may

Planned Parenthood locations in Suffolk County, the department will enhance patrols and remain in contact with other law enforcement agencies for the most up-todate information regarding the potential for similar attacks,” the department said in a statement. Planned Parenthood clinics also operate in Patchogue, Riverhead and West Islip. When reached for comment, both the Huntington and Smithtown Planned Parenthood clinics 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.

Kings Park residents reject solar farm proposal tionary system build on top of what used to be a landfill. He said his group would work in compliance with the state Department of Environmental Conservation by consolidating two piles of waste left behind on the property and capping them before construction. Those piles would also be monitored by BQ Energy, he said. “We look forward to working with our neighbors in the community,” Curran said at the meeting before several residents approached the dais to oppose the plan. “It is a very compatible use and we can fit in very well in the town of Smithtown and we look forward to that.” But residents in the area were not convinced the proposal would not be a detriment to their health. Neil Rosenberg, president of the homeowners association for condominiums just north of the area in question, said the proposal was not compatible with the best interests of his neighbors. He requested that the board require BQ Energy to work with a neutral third party in drafting an environmental impact study on the solar farm plan. “What I’ve learned tonight is that the people who are proposing it have said there is no radiation, no noise, nothing coming off this,” he said. “But there’s literature that says contrary. There’s too many unknowns in our opinion.” And aside from health risks, residents

BY Phil COrsO

A renewable energy company has its sights set on a former landfill in Kings Park to build a solar farm, but residents living nearby and conducting business there are not seeing the light. The Smithtown Town Board considered a special exception request at its last meeting on Nov. 19 that would make way for roughly 18,000 solar panels on about 27 acres along Old Northport Road, according to Kings Park Solar LLC — a subsidiary group of the Poughkeepsiebased BQ Energy. The proposal was met with disdain, however, when residents voiced opposition on the grounds of potential health hazards and negative business consequences for a separate sport complex approved nearby. A spokeswoman for Kings Park Solar said it would sell the electricity the panels produce to the utility company PSEG, similarly done at other solar and wind farms built throughout the state. If completed, the spokeswoman said the plan could offset more than 1,700 metric tons of carbon monoxide from the region. Paul Curran, managing director of BQ Energy, said the project was designed like several other solar farms in Suffolk County and would pose no negative health effects because it would be a sta-

if approved, BQ Energy would have to manage leftover debris at the solar farm site.

argued that the solar farm would negatively affect a multimillion-dollar sports complex that was approved for construction over the summer on an adjacent lot in Kings Park. Kenny Henderson, a member of Prospect Sports Partners LLC, said that while he was not against solar power or clean energy, he was certain that a solar farm in that location would deter tenants from doing business with his group. He said ignoring his concerns would be a detriment to the town, as Prospect Sports is poised to produce more than

400 jobs and generate roughly $38.5 million in annual spending in Smithtown. “We are really struggling now to keep our head above water,” Henderson said. “We started this dream about six years ago, working side by side with the town to make this a reality. But we are 100 percent uncertain if we can build this now, because nobody wants to come do business behind the solar panels.” The Smithtown Town Board said it would review the special exception request with those concerns in mind before determining environmental effects.

Pregnant woman charged with drugged driving Kings Park resident treated at Stony Brook Hospital after her car overturns on day before Thanksgiving By Elana Glowatz

Police allege a pregnant woman was on drugs when she overturned and crashed her car in Kings Park the night before Thanksgiving. The 26-year-old, Danielle Wisnieski, who is also 26 weeks pregnant, according to the Suffolk County Police Department, was driving north on Indian Head Road at the time of the crash. Police said she lost control of the vehicle, a 2003 Cadillac Escalade, near the intersection with Old Northport Road and overturned just after 8 p.m. Paramedics treated her at the scene, police said, and administered Narcan, a medication that is used to block the

effects of opioids like heroin and Vicodin and is commonly used to reverse overdoses. The driver of the other car, a Kings Park resident, was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital to be treated for minor injuries. The passenger in her car, a 34-year-old Kings Park resident, was treated for minor injuries as well at Huntington Hospital. No other cars were involved in the crash. Wisnieski was arrested and charged with driving while impaired by drugs. Attorney information for the suspect was not immediately available, and she was scheduled to be arraigned at a later date.

North Shore gala to honor charitable champions Friends of Karen prepares to award four at third annual event to benefit children with life-threatening illnesses Friends of Karen of Port Jefferson will present its third annual Long Island Gala, which will take place on Friday, Dec. 4, at Stonebridge Country Club in Smithtown. The event will honor Rich Panico, president of Symbio of Port Jefferson, John and Janet Kornreich with the Friends of Karen’s Humanitarian Award and Debbie Peck with the Friends of Karen’s Shelia Petersen Award. Panico, a Miller Place resident, has been a champion for the charity for several years, the group said, and John and Janet Kornreich were selected for their award because of their work as the founders of the John and Janet Kornreich Charitable Foundation. Peck has been a longtime Friends of Karen advisory board member and speaker for the organization and has shared her family’s personal story with schools, corporate employees and others so they can learn about the important work of Friends of Karen. Friends of Karen provides vital, practical and comprehensive support, at no cost, to families in the tri-state region who are caring for a child with a lifethreatening illness. Since 1978, Friends of Karen has helped nearly 14,000 chil-

dren and their families with personal advocacy provided by a team of dedicated professionals — including social workers, expressive arts therapists and child life specialists — who work to ensure they have the financial, emotional and practical support they need to get through the turmoil and treatment process of a devastating diagnosis. Friends of Karen began in 1978 when friends and neighbors came to the aid of a family with a 16-year-old daughter, Karen, who was terminally ill. A fundraising campaign for medical and other costs enabled Karen to spend her precious last days at home surrounded by loving family and friends. More than 37 years later, Friends of Karen has helped nearly 14,000 children in the tri-state region, from birth to age 21, who have been diagnosed with cancer or another life-threatening illness. For sponsorship and ticket information or to learn more about Friends of Karen, visit www.friendsofkaren.org or call Patricia Conway at (631) 473-1768, ext. 303. -Compiled by phil Corso

Aidan Koehl Donnelly, a member of Troop 362 in Selden, has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Boy Scouts of America. Donnelly’s Eagle Scout Service project was to construct and install an osprey nest platform at West Meadow Beach, Setauket. Donnelly developed

his proposal, met with town officials, enlisted the help of PSEG Long Island and raised the funds for the project by hosting a pancake fundraiser at his local firehouse. Donnelly’s project encompassed both the planning and overseeing of all efforts required to construct the osprey nest platform.

To become an Eagle Scout, a scout must earn a minimum of 21 merit badges, demonstrate leadership and perform an approved community service project. Since the first Eagle Scout Award was presented in 1912, only about 5 percent of all Scouts have attained the Eagle Scout rank.

A motorcyclist was killed on Saturday afternoon when a young man who was allegedly on drugs crashed a car into his bike. Two days after Thanksgiving, the Suffolk County Police Department said, 56-yearold Thomas Heissen Buttel was riding a 1972 Harley-Davidson north on Old Town Road when he was struck by a vehicle whose driver had been trying to make a left onto Hyson Way in Coram, just south of Hawkins Road. The motorcyclist, a South Setauket resident, died from his injuries at Stony Brook University Hospital, police said, while the driver of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta that struck him, 22-year-old Port Jefferson Station resident Sabelo Ndala, was not hurt. Police charged Ndala with driving while impaired by drugs, operating a vehicle without an interlock device and second-degree aggravated unlicensed driving. He was arraigned the next day. The suspect is listed as defending himself in the New York State court system’s online database and could not be reached for comment. According to the database, Ndala had a previous drunk driving charge against him, dating back to February, to which he pleaded guilty. His license was revoked for 18 months in that case and he was mandat-

SWR family honors son through giving By Giselle Barkley

After Sept. 11, 2001, the Williams family wanted to so something special to remember their son Kevin who died on that day, and after 15 years, they’re still honoring him. Community members packed themselves into Phil’s Restaurant in Wading River to help support and donate toys to the Kevin Williams Foundation’s 10th annual Toy Drive, which was held on Dec. 1, from 7 to 10 p.m. The toy drive is an expansion of the Williams service to the community. Fifteen years ago the family created Kevin’s Angels, which helped send children to a sports camp or play for a team. However, after schools and organizations like Long Island Youth Mentoring sought the family’s help for other families in need, the Williams started the toy drive to continue their outreach. For the Williams, giving back to the community and offering a helping hand during the holidays is a way to remember their son. “We knew that we had to share his zest for life,” said Patti Williams, Kevin’s mother. “What better way than creating a foundation; and we could give to children and hopefully change the direction of some of their lives.” Kevin Williams worked for Sandler

O’Neil, a financial company based in Manhattan. The 24-year-old was on the 104th floor of Tower Two when tragedy struck and the building collapsed. Williams was to be married 10 weeks after Sept. 11. In 1995, Williams graduated from Shoreham-Wading River High School and had a passion for academics as well as sports. In high school he was the captain and the most valuable player of his basketball, baseball and golf teams. Several years ago, Shoreham-Wading River renovated its varsity baseball field and renamed it after Williams. The field offers the family and

other community members with a safe space to remember a loved one and reflect on Sept. 11. This was the fifth time Phil’s Restaurant, owned by Phil Marcario, donated the space for the toy drive. Since Marcario’s wife grew up with Kevin Williams, the two are like family. Together, they made the night more than just a toy drive. “We really wanted to make it a night where people could mingle and talk instead of just dropping off a toy,” Marcario said. “You could come and kind of spend time together, which is what the holidays are re-

ally all about.” According to Mike Williams, Kevin Williams’ father, the toy drive helps around 30 families annually. They’ve also helped 1,025 underprivileged kids attend sports camps in the past 15 years. Despite their efforts, the family said the community is what really helped get to this point in their lives. “We have a great faith, but we also surround ourselves with an abundance of love,” Mike Williams said. While the Toy Drive was created in light of a tragedy, Shoreham resident Steve Malandrino said the Williams are one of few families who have turned a bad situation into something positive. Malandrino was once Mike Williams’ student when he attended Miller Place High School in the 1970s. Thus far, he’s attended nine of the 10 toy drives. In addition to the abundance of community support, turning a negative situation into something positive also helped the family get through tough times. “Anyone who’s gone through a tragedy, especially losing a child — you have a decision to make,” Patti Williams said. “You somehow have to get yourself from that point of not wanting to wake up in the morning because it’s another day of pain, to finding an avenue where you can make lives better for others.”

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 inf luences 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.” Planned Parenthood has roughly 700 health centers across the country, with each clinic serving as a hub for affordable health care and sex education. Its practices have been an ongoing source of controversy, mostly relating to its work in providing abortion and greater contraception services for women.

weather situation. While roadway upkeep is important, Romaine said designating money to fund all maintenance issues is difficult, because spending is limited. “It’s hard to do that when you have a tax cap,” Romaine said. “I believe the budget is as good as it’s going to get, considering the constraints we live under.” In addition to raising the snow re-

moval budget, the town is putting money toward traffic safety, park improvements, open space preservation and land acquisition. The spending plan also increases funding for public safety staff, code enforcement and internal auditors, among others. Romaine touted the budget’s relying less on fund balance to get by, which adds to financial stability. Without including its debt reserves, Brookhaven’s 2016 budget will only use $2.35 million in reserves, a substantial decrease from the 2015 spending plan, which used about $8 million.

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 ÂŠ

OPINION EDITORIAL

Shootings effect spreads to Suffolk

Since 1988, World AIDS Day is Dec. 1.

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. But the hIV/AIDS epidemic continues to affect millions of people around the world and in the United States, with marginalized communities disproportionately impacted and millions newly infected each year. In some of the hardest hit areas globally, adolescent girls and young women face poverty, gender inequality, exclusion, discrimination, lack of education and violence,

Not appreciated TO ThE EDITOR: Welcome INN has served our needy neighbors hot nutritious meals with dignity for 26 years. This honorable institution deserves respect and support as we quietly reach out to folks who are simply lacking the funds to choose between purchasing food and meeting all their financial obligations such as mortgage or rent, transportation costs to get to work, clothing, utilities, etc. These are men, women and children who live, work, pray and go to school in our local community. Last week you praised Welcome INN volunteers as well-deserved

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 recipients of the “humanitarians of the Year Award for 2015” from Jefferson’s Ferry Foundation (Nov. 19, page A8). Therefore it is incongruous that on the very same page as this article your announcement regarding a necessary, important and timely community meeting being held to address the extremely serious crisis of drug use among our teens inferred that our service somehow contributes to drug addiction and abuse. In fact, fewer than 5 percent of our guests are truly homeless and those certainly are not individuals who meet the profile as drug dealers. Dragging good folks and our programs into this discussion is certainly a deviation from the focus parents

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

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 last 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.

need to maintain. We all must look closely at kids’ internet access and their real opportunities and desire to seek and secure drugs. The community must not participate in a red herring search that wastes time and could discourage volunteers and especially our guests — the very people who need our meals to survive. Welcome INN does not tolerate any illicit activity in our soup kitchens. We stand with the community to arrest and prosecute persons who engage in unlawful activities.

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

By walking we could burn off that extra piece of pumpkin pie.

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

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.

Newfield finishes first undefeated season Football

Newfield . . . . . . . . . . 41 MacArthur . . . . . . . . 33 By Joe Galotti

Newfield has not faced much adversity this fall. The team entered this year’s Long Island Class II football championship game with an 11-0 record, and had yet to be truly challenged on its quest for a perfect season. On Friday night at Hofstra University’s Shuart Stadium, the Wolverines were finally tested. After holding a 20-point advantage over Levittown’s MacArthur at halftime, Newfield quickly saw its lead evaporate to just a single point before the end of the third quarter. But Wolverines senior wideout Elijah Riley refused to let his team lose on this night, running for two touchdowns in the contest’s final quarter to power his team to a 41-33 victory. “Eli’s been our lightning guy all year,” Wolverines head coach Joe Piccininni said. “He just comes out and makes things happen for us when you least expect it.” Thanks to Riley’s heroics, Newfield earned its first Long Island championship since 2011. Senior quarterback Ryan

Klemm was excited that the team was by recovering an onside kick. Shortly after, able to not only bring the title back to Martino found the end zone to make it a its school, but also record the program’s 13-point game. MacArthur attempted anfirst-ever perfect season. other onside kick and once again gained “It’s awesome,” Klemm said. “They always possession. Martino followed that up with refer to the 2011 team, and we wanted to do his second touchdown in a span of just 34 something better — something that they seconds. didn’t do.

But, the Generals were prepared to go lead to 15 points. down fighting, beginning the second half MacArthur added a late touchdown, but

failed to pull any closer, as Riley recovered the Generals’ final onside-kick attempt and took a knee just shy of another touchdown. “MacArthur did an outstanding job of preparing for us and playing against us,” Piccininni said, “They left their hearts out on the field. They really pushed us to our limits today, but our kids overcame it.” Also leaving his heart out on the field after the game was Wolverines assistant coach Nick Adler. He proposed to his girlfriend after the team was presented with their championship trophy. And when she said “yes,” the Wolverines were left with a storybook ending to their perfect season.
