Town

Smithtown residents come out in support of proposed group home

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Nearly 100 residents filled the Eugene A. Senior Citizen Center in Smithtown Feb.14 to discuss a proposed St. James group home on Twixt Hills Road. Previously, St. James residents raised concerns over the home, but the latest meeting saw a shift in the majority of residents speaking in favor of the proposed plans.

The St. James residence would be operated

by Life’s WORC, a Garden City-based private nonprofit organization, to provide housing for six adults with developmental disabilities and autism. The organization currently runs a total of 41 group homes and rehabilitation programs in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens.

“If these were people of a different religion or race, we wouldn’t be having this hearing,” Joseph Winters, of St. James said. “It should be no different for people with disabilities.”

Winters said his son Sean would be one of the individuals who would reside at the proposed group home. He said it was upsetting that his family had to attend a hearing so his son can continue to live in the town where he grew up.

Mary Rafferty, chief operating officer at Life’s WORC, said over the past couple weeks she has spoken to about 36 neighbors who have reached out to the agency with questions and concerns,

and who have voiced support for the group home.

She said the nonprofit organization was formed by parents raising children with developmental disorders concerned for these individuals’ future.

Rafferty acknowledged that many of the concerns St. James residents shared with her had to do with how the home would affect the block. She said the agency purchased the home with the understanding that it would need renovations and updates. The organization plans on doing exterior work on the home, including fencing the yard to match the neighboring property owner and a circular driveway to ease traffic and parking issues.

“I’m asking you to give us a chance to show how it can work when it’s done right.”

Mary Lu Heinz, of Nesconset, said she similarly related to Winters as a parent of a 21-year-old son with autism. As she and her husband near retirement age they are facing tough decisions she said, while displaying her son’s high school graduation photograph.

“We are contemplating our son’s life when we are gone,” Heinz said. “Where will he go?”

She said a home, like the proposed residence, provides living opportunities for her son and others like him.

The sole opposition of the group home at the Feb. 14 meeting came in the form of an email from the Damin Park Civic Association

stating that the home could permanently alter the nature and character of the neighborhood, as well as significantly increase motor vehicle traffic. The association also said its concerns are in no way a reflection on those individuals with either a physical or a mental disabilities.

Life’s WORC purchased the home Jan. 9 for $575,000, according to the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island’s The site of the proposed community residence on Twixt Hills Road in St. website. The four-bedroom, James. Photo from Google Maps 2.5-bathroom home boasts objections to the planned Twixt Hills group 2,857 square feet of living space and will have a residential manager and on-site home, under New York State law. The main objection the town could argue is citing a staffing 24/7.

Denise Walsh, an employee at Life’s WORC saturation of group homes in the area, according who oversees all staff training, said the agency’s to town spokeswoman Nicole Garguilo.

Will Flower, who has known the Winters philosophy for each person they support is family for many years, asked for people who “living with dignity and growing with pride.”

“Due to the Padavan Law, people with oppose the home to open their hearts.

“In the end there are only three truths,” Flower disabilities still have to advocate for inclusive — but you and I have free will on where we would said. “Fact is, is that every town has residents like to live — without any opposition,” Walsh with special needs and the best communities are said. “Each of these young men are people first, those that welcome and have homes for them.

The second is that this home is needed now and and their disability comes second.”

Smithtown officials have 40 days to respond third is that this project shows that the St. James to Life’s WORC, or until Feb. 24, to raise any community is a community that cares.”

Legislators, task force aim to reduce plastics in Suffolk County

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County legislators are looking to restrict the sales of several plastics, some harmful to health and others harmful to the environment.

Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), along with members of the Legislature’s Single-Use Plastic Reduction Task Force announced four policy initiatives intended to reduce plastic and polystyrene waste in the county at a press conference Feb.13.

“Today we announce policies that will come to define our county’s environmental legacy for generations to come,” Hahn said in a press release.

Hahn and the task force have outlined regulations directed at local businesses and the county. One of the proposed bills focuses on polystyrene, banning it in food service products including plates, cups, containers and trays. It would require businesses in the county to use biodegradable products, though the bill would exempt items used to store uncooked eggs, raw meat, pork, fish, seafood and poultry.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services classified styrene as a potential

human carcinogen and, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, polystyrene manufacturing process is the fifth largest creator of hazardous waste in the United States. “[Styrene has] recently been upgraded from a possible carcinogen to a probable carcinogen — a cancer causing chemical,” Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said. “Long Island has some of the highest cancer rates in the country.”

Hahn said polystyrene and plastics are causing a waste management problem as well.

“You see waste in waterways, on our beaches, on our roadways,” she said.

A second bill would require single-use plastic beverage straws and stirrers to only be given in Suffolk County by request as a means of reducing plastic consumption. As an alternative to plastics, businesses would give customers biodegradable products, such as paper straws.

There is an exception for those who have a disability or medical condition.

Hahn and the task force also plan to prohibit the use of plastic products in all Suffolk County parks as part of their third initiative.

Suffolk Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) supports the proposed bills.

“We see that these things are happening — I know with the plastic bag ban there was some push back,” he said. “But it is nice to be able to do something that will make a difference and that works.”

In conjunction, the task force proposed a requirement that all future contracts with concessionaires at county parks include a restriction on the use of plastic and nonbiodegradable cups, utensils and beverage straws.

Hahn and the task force advised the issue of waste produced by these products is a more urgent problem than some people realize, and the county needs to clean up its act.

These bills are a continuation of Hahn’s and others countywide initiative to reduce singleuse plastic straws. One project, called Strawless Suffolk, started in July 2018 and looked for 100 seaside restaurants in Bellport, Greenport, Huntington, Northport, Patchogue and Port Jefferson village to take a pledge to stop using plastic straws by Sept. 3, 2018.

Hahn cites some landfills on Long Island are almost at full capacity and said that it is not just about recycling more, rather its reducing the use of plastic items and to reuse things.

“We as a society as a whole need to continue to research and study this issue and product,” she said.”

To further decrease the use of plastic products, a fourth initiative will call to replace existing water fountains with new ones designed to allow bottle filling at county facilities that have 10 or more employees and in county-owned parks that have water dispensers.

“People will be less likely to use plastic water bottles and will be able to fill their own reusable bottle if they bring one with them to our county buildings, parks and beaches,” the Setauket legislator said.

The two nonlocal laws in the initiatives package, the installation of water fountains in county facilities and the concessionaires requirement, could be passed as early as March 5, depending upon legislative discussion and a vote.

The other two local laws that apply to businesses in the county will require a public hearing, but could end up as law as early as April 9.

“Plastic waste has become a tangible threat to our $5.6 billion tourism-driven economy,” Hahn said. “We are Long Islanders, our identity is tied to the water.”

State

U.S. congressman backs bill on universal background checks for guns

“There is a gun show loophole,” Suozzi said.

“We are not trying to take anyone’s guns away — we are trying to prevent people who shouldn’t have a gun from getting one in the first place.”

Currently under federal law, individuals who are convicted felons of domestic abuse, those who have a restraining order or those who have been found using controlled substances are restricted from purchasing guns. Gun control activists have argued the gun show loophole has made it possible for private and unlicensed sellers to market firearms to buyers without

going through a background check process.

“I stand here today with Congressman Suozzi to fully back his support of reasonable gun control,” Dix Hills resident Linda Beigel Schulman of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America said.

Schulman’s son, Scott, was a teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida and was one of 17 individuals killed in the Parkland shooting. She said she first met the congressman at a March for Our Lives rally.

“He spoke with me about the shooting, and

I knew his concerns, his support was genuine,” Schulman said. “He is fighting for the safety of all of us.”

Suozzi said many guns that are brought into New York State illegally are purchased through this loophole. He pointed to a statistic that said over 70 percent of gun crimes that have occurred in New York have been caused with firearms that originated out of the state, according to a 2016 report from the New York State Attorney General’s office.

Schulman said the bill is a bipartisan attempt to pass common sense gun control legislation and that safety from gun violence is not a partisan issue.

“If asked the question: Do you want to be safe, your children to be safe? Have you ever heard anyone answer no?,” she said.

Marybeth Baxter, Long Island coordinator of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence agreed with Schulman, stating that universal background checks are paramount for the safety of New York, other states and the nation.

“Just this Friday there was another workplace shooting — this has to stop,” Schulman said. “If the universal background check prevents just one shooting, then it has done it purpose, it has saved lives.”

The legislation would prohibit the use of state-owned underwater coastal lands for oil and natural gas drilling; prevent the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Office of General Services from authorizing leases which would increase oil or natural gas production from federal waters; and prohibit the development of infrastructure associated with exploration, development or production of oil or natural gas from New York’s coastal waters, according to a press release from Englebright’s office.

The new legislation will reaffirm the state’s coastal management practices to ensure the protection of endangered and threatened species, along with tourism and recreational and commercial fishing industries, according to Englebright.

“Our largest industry in New York, and especially in coastal New York, is tourism,” Englebright said. “Oil and gas exploration is incompatible with tourism. We’ve seen the kinds of mistakes that have occurred in other parts of the world where oil and gas exploration near recreation areas and near active fisheries has occurred. We don’t want those kinds of chaos to descend upon our economy or our state.”

The legislation updates New York State laws that are decades old, according to a press release from state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport).

“Offshore drilling is the single largest threat to the sustainability of Long Island’s environ-

ment,” Gaughran said in a statement.

State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who was the original lead sponsor of the legislation, said he urges the governor to sign the bill.

“We have painstakingly worked to preserve and protect our pristine waters, and we certainly do not want to imperil all of our efforts to maintain clean water by allowing drilling off our shoreline,” LaValle said.

Kevin McAllister, founding president of Sag Harbor-based nonprofit Defend H2O, said restricting oil and gas exploration off the coast is important as the drilling for fossil fuels negatively

impacts the environment. He said it’s critical for other Eastern states to follow suit, and he urges Cuomo to enlist coastal solidarity.

“If rising seas, ocean acidification, killer floods aren’t sobering enough, don’t overlook a legacy of regret with oil extraction and transport,” he said. “Santa Barbara oil spill, Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon all inflicted massive damages to the marine and the coastal environment over thousands of square miles. In the oil industry, accidents happen. The best way to prevent another catastrophe is to close the door on further exploration.”

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As the first anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, passed by Feb. 14, gun control advocates and Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are gearing up for another round of gun debate.

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) alongside gun violence prevention groups advocated for support for a proposed federal bill that would require background checks on all sales of firearms at a press conference Feb. 19.

H.R. 8, or the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, was first introduced in early January

by U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (D-California).

Suozzi is a co-sponsor of the bill.

The congressman announced that H.R.8 had passed the House Judiciary Committee and would next be put to vote on the House floor.

“It will go to the floor in the next week or two,” he said. “I feel good that this bill will pass the House of Representatives — the challenge is whether or not we can get the votes in the Senate.”

The bill would also see the end of a known loophole in firearm sales.

NYS legislators take steps to protect coastal waters from offshore drilling

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM State legislators are trying to ensure the federal government doesn’t murk up New York’s coastal waters.

Both the New York State Assembly and Senate passed legislation Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 to prohibit oil and natural gas drilling in New York’s coastal areas. The legislative action comes a year after hundreds of Long Island residents attended a public hearing at the William H. Rogers Legislature Building in Smithtown to voice concerns relating to discussions on the federal level over potential drilling in the Atlantic Ocean.

The bill now awaits the signature of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).

Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), the Assembly environmental conservation committee chair, was one of the legislators who hosted last year’s Smithtown hearing. The assemblyman said in a statement those who attended the hearing unanimously condemned the federal government’s proposal to drill for oil and gas in open waters.

“This legislation will safeguard our water and shores from the dangers of fossil fuel exploration and drilling, and will support our efforts to move our state toward cleaner and renewable energy sources,” Englebright said.

Smithtown High School East

Artistic genius

Smithtown High School East student Chris Jarosak has been named a winner in the Scholastic Art Awards.

Jarosak, who is an AP art student in teacher Tim Needles’ class, won two awards: a silver key in digital art for

Harbor Country Day School

Ringing in the Lunar New Year his piece “Pulled Down” and an honorable mention in drawing and illustration for his piece “Mountain.” Jarosak is pictured with Needles and his “Pulled Down” art.

Mills Pond Elementary

Harbor Country Day School took the stage Feb. 9 at the Charles B. Wang Center to perform in the Confucius Institute at Stony Brook University’s 2019 Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration.

There were 19 first-, third- and fourth-graders who sang two songs to the sold-out crowd of more than 200 people. The students sang “Let the World Be Full of Love” and “Learn to Meow,” both entirely in Mandarin.

This year marks the fifth year the independent school has participated in the annual ceremony. Harbor was the only elementary school to participate this year, owing in part to the school’s strong partnership with the Confucius Institute. Mandarin teacher Hong Li Snyder cherishes the relationship.

This performance is an unforgettable experience for our students,” Snyder said. “I truly believe that

it helps to motivate our students in their study of the language by giving them something to work toward every year. Audience members have told me that our students’ pronunciations are so good that if they closed their eyes, they couldn’t tell that the singers were non-native speakers.

That is the highest compliment these children can receive.”

Tackan Elementary School

Time to play

Kindergartners in Michael Hart’s class at Mills Pond Elementary School in the Smithtown school district celebrated Global Play Day Feb. 6 with some in-class fun.

After playing a game of rock, paper, scissors using Hula-Hoops,

the students rotated to different “Minute to Win It” type of games.

Some of the hands-on activity centers included making a cup tower stack, a popsicle stick house and separating beads into different cups.

Interactive gamers

During physical education classes throughout the week of Feb. 11, students at Tackan Elementary School in the Smithtown school district got interactive with video games courtesy of iGame4.

iGame4 fitness program uses active video games to improve endurance, flexibility, balance and overall health.

The program, designed by education and fitness professionals, creates excitement using innovative and

fun technology that is proven to be effective at burning calories.

“Students are getting interactive and having fun at the same time,” said Jason Lambert, a physical education teacher.

Eagles eliminated from playoffs

by Mount Sinai Mustangs, 56-43

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Hauppauge girls basketball led by 7 points after the first 8 minutes of play, but the visiting Mount Sinai, the No. 5 seed, slammed the door, outscoring the Eagles 14-5 before exploding in the 3rd quarter.

Mount Sinai senior guard Gabby Sartori caught fire, swishing 3-pointers from seemingly anywhere to lead her team to a 56-43 win, upsetting topseeded Hauppauge, in a class A playoff semifinal Feb. 16.

Hauppauge sophomore guard Kayla Bullard topped the scoring chart for the Eagles, tallying 13 points followed by junior forward Lauren Romito who chipped in 10.

Pictured, clockwise from top left: Freshman forward Nicole Petrocelli battles down low; freshman forward Jamie Devine shoots but Mount Sinai sophomore forward Amanda Dowler gets a piece of it; Bullard sinks a free throw; and Hauppauge sophomore guard Guiliana Abruscato drives the lane in a home playoff game against Mount Sinai Feb. 16.

Opinion

Editorial

Amazon and other companies should listen to residents Amazon, the online retail giant, tried to set up shop in Long Island City. The company came onto the scene in 2018 promising to build its second headquarters in Queens and create more than 25,000 high-paying jobs in the process, but by Feb. 14 Amazon had pulled out of the deal after months of community antagonism and protest.

What did Amazon do wrong? After all, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) were both completely behind the idea.

What happened was Amazon, like Marcus Licinius Crassus of Rome marching into the Parthian Empire in ancient Iran, wanted to stamp its logo in the dirt without thinking of the logistics, or whether the people wanted them there.

We, as journalists, know the routine developers need to take to successfully settle into our areas. The prospective business must work with the local municipality, whether it’s a village or town, and establish site plans and conduct environmental reviews. If their idea is sound, the area representative works with the developer, relaying questions and concerns from their constituents to the developer.

More important is reaching out and connecting with the local residents. After all, they are the ones who will likely patronize the business. They are the ones who will see it affect their local ambiance or property values. They are the ones forced to live next to it day after day.

It might be the height of foolhardy narcissism from all involved, from the government to Amazon themselves, to think there wouldn’t be any blowback from residents. The announcement of HQ2 was kept secret until leaping onto the scene, and residents were stuck either saying “yes” or “no” to Amazon.

We often see how the community reacts to new developments, and while sometimes there is a little not-in-my-backyard ideology to go around, many residents are keen to know how a development will affect them. The developer needs to listen to their concerns and make changes to their designs, otherwise the plans could blow up in their face.

The Town of Brookhaven, especially Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), has recently shown its desire to see Amazon keep its promise to New York. It has offered the retail giant to set up in the town near the South Shore, all the while keeping the massive tax breaks promised by the governor using the town’s own Industrial Development Agency. While we appreciate the idea of bringing so many high-paying jobs into the area, which may boost the local tourism industry, we also caution the same sort of secrecy and backroom dealing which led Amazon to abandon its Queens plans in the first place.

It’s also a lesson to local governments and prospective developers. Not all residents will agree with every new structure and =every new business, but developers absolutely need to listen to their concerns. Amazon is not the only company to be pushed back by protest. The Villadom project in the Town of Huntington that would have created a new Elwood mall, was lambasted by community members who felt they were being sidestepped and ignored.

The community has a stronger voice than some might expect, and like Crassus eventually learned as he was roundly defeated and humiliated by the Parthians, one can’t simply stake claim on property unilaterally without a spear pointed at one’s neck.

Letters to the editor

Truth imposed on a national emergency?

Funding bill signed; the government stays open. A national emergency has been declared so we are headed for court.

Some of our leadership wants to build a wall across our southern border, some do not. They each seem to be obsessed with their own versions of the truth. They seem to believe that imposing a truth is the same as arriving at one.

What do the farmers, ranchers and people in the communities who own the

land, work and live there think of the wall? Real people, who grow up, go to school, fall in love, have families, worship and die there. They see it as “a scar, a cut that has been sutured.” Most of us from a distance imagine the border as being this uninhabited, desolate place that belongs to the government. That wall runs through private property, in some cases up to a mile from the actual border, separating folks from all they own

on the southern side of an 18-foot wall.

The government condemned only a thin strip of land, from landowners, splitting their properties in two. They can see their barns, reservoirs and grazing land through steel slats but will never again get to enjoy it.

Any truth imposed is no equal for a truth arrived at.

Becoming the world’s No. 1 super debtor Some Valentine’s Day gift from Washington, D.C. First it was the Democrats who almost doubled our national debt from $11 trillion to nearly $20 trillion over eight years under President Obama. Now it is the Republicans under President Trump who have added more than $2 trillion in the past two years.

Will we ever learn from past mistakes and attempt to reduce both borrowing and long-term debt, instead of allowing them to grow yearly? The new $22 trillion federal debt is only going to continue growing by $1 trillion per year. This inheritance could bankrupt future generations.

Uncle Sam needs to do a better job with an annual $4 trillion budget already

available, rather than pick the pockets of taxpayers for even more. It is time for a return to passing annual fiscal year budgets on time by Oct. 1, rather than a series of continuing resolutions to keep Washington open.

Return to pay-as-you-go budgeting, means testing for all government assistance programs, real balanced budgets without smoke and mirrors.

Stop hiding spending under so-called independent authorities whose budgets are offline with little or no oversight, along with actual surpluses and down payments to reduce long-term debt for all levels of government.

Everything needs to be on the table,

including the infamous third rails of American politics: Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security along with military spending, agricultural subsidies and corporate welfare bailouts. How ironic that after winning the Cold War against the evil empire of communism, it may be mismanagement of our economy that defeats us in the end.

Unless we change our ways, America is on the road to losing our status as the world’s No. 1 superpower. Just like mighty ancient Rome before the collapse, we are going down the path to become the world’s super debtor.

In support of raising tobacco age to 21 The inclusion by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of tobacco prevention measures in the New York State 2019 proposed budget aims to protect our youth from the ill effects of tobacco use.

As a volunteer with the American Heart Association, I’m proud that we have long advocated for anti-tobacco measures. We are glad to see that the proposed budget includes raising the minimum legal sales age for tobacco products to 21.

We applaud the governor’s proposed statewide action. Tobacco 21 has already passed local legislation in both Nassau and Suffolk counties and expansion of this legislation statewide will enhance sparing

youth the potentially deadly effects of a lifelong smoking habit. While the tobacco industry has done a good job marketing these products to youth through candy flavors and the false idea that they don’t contain nicotine, the truth is most contain the same amount of nicotine as a pack of cigarettes.

Adolescent brains aren’t fully developed until age 25, giving nicotine an incredibly impactful influence on cognitive functions, including the area of the brain related to addiction.

Importantly, we know that raising the age will be successful. A 2015 study from the Institute of Medicine shows that

passing a new law can stop young adults from picking up their first cigarette. It also makes it harder for high school students to purchase tobacco and pass it on to their younger friends.

Smoking is a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke, and the leading cause of preventable death. Simply put, tobacco control measures that reduce smoking rates will save lives throughout our state.

A star-studded evening as a Lilliputian spectator

S

o, what was it like to be in Charlotte, North Carolina, Sunday during the National Basketball Association All-Star

Game?

For starters, employers warned their staff about heavy traffic around the Spectrum Center and about parking challenges. They suggested working from home on Friday and over the weekend, if possible, to avoid delays.

As a result, for the entire weekD. None end, the car trafof the above fic around this

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF manageable city seemed even lighter than usual. People couldn’t drive too close to the Spectrum Center, but it was nothing like Yan-

kee Stadium or Citi Field before or after a game against a heated rival, or even against a middling team on a warm Saturday in July.

The city rolled out much tighter security than usual, putting up fences around a nearby bus station and restricting walking traffic into the outskirts of the stadium to ticket holders only.

Once inside, I felt as if I had become a Lilliputian in “Gulliver’s Travels.” Men and women of all ages made 6 feet seem like a minimum height for admission. I felt like a kid who sneaks onto a ride at Disney World despite falling well below the clown’s hand that indicates “you must be this tall to enter.”

The clothing choices reflected a wide variety of fashion statements. Some had come to be seen, decked out in fine suits, flowing dresses and highheeled shoes. Others strutted around in sweatpants and sweatsuits, donning the jerseys of their favorite players.

Celebrities walked among the commoners, much the same way they do at the U.S. Open.

frail-looking Rev. Jesse Jackson to shake his hand.

Jackson later received warm applause from the crowd when he appeared on the jumbotron largescreen display.

As taller teenagers, who were well over 6 1/2 feet tall, brushed past us, we wondered whether we might see any of them at this type of event in the next decade. They were probably thinking, and hoping, the same thing.

The game itself, which was supposed to start at 8 p.m., didn’t commence until close to 8:30, amid considerable pomp and circumstance.

The crowd saluted each of the players as they were introduced. The roar became considerably louder for local hero Kemba Walker, the shooting star for the Charlotte Hornets who scored 60 points in a game earlier this season.

The crowd also showered old-timers Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki with affection, saluting the end of magnificent careers that included hardfought playoff battles and championship runs. The two elder statesmen didn’t disappoint, connecting on 3-point shots that also energized the crowd.

While the All-Star game sometimes disappoints for the token defense that enables teams to score baskets at a breakneck pace, it does give serious players a chance to lower their defenses, enjoying the opportunity to smile and play a game with the other top performers in their sport.

Wade and Nowitzki, who each have infectious smiles, grinned on the court at their teammates, competitors and fans after they sank baskets.

A first-half highlight included a bounce pass alley-oop from North Carolina native Steph Curry to team captain Giannis Antetokounmpo. In the end, Team LeBron beat Team Giannis, 178-164.

The halftime show proved an enormous success, as rapper and North Carolina product — via Germany — J. Cole performed “ATM,” “No Role Modelz,” and “Love Yourz.” The young woman sitting near us knew every word of the songs, swaying, rocking and bouncing in her seat.

I asked her if she knew Cole would be performing and she said, “Of course.” I asked her whether she liked the basketball or the halftime show better. She said she enjoyed both.
