Green v. Green:

Gov. Cuomo vetoes Pine Barrens expansion in favor of solar plans

Rare species that live in the Shoreham woods could be without a home if the land is cleared for a solar farm.

BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Not seeing the forest for the trees is one thing, but a recent decision by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to not preserve the forest or trees for the sake of solar installation is causing a major stir among Suffolk County elected officials.

On Dec. 18, Cuomo vetoed a bill cosponsored by state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) that called for the expansion of Long Island’s publicly protected Central Pine Barrens to include more than 1,000 acres in Shoreham and Mastic Woods — “museum quality” stretches of open space that should never be developed by private owners, according to the sponsors. Their legislation aimed to pull the plug on solar plans for the sites.

“The idea of putting solar on these properties is foolish,” Englebright said. “And I hold my solar credentials next to anyone. I am the legislator that sponsored and spearheaded solar more than 20 years ago — these are not good sites for solar.”

A large chunk of the Shoreham property — made up of approximately 820 acres of undeveloped vegetable land, coastal forest, rolling hills, cliffs and various species of wildlife on the shoreline of Long Island Sound — was almost demolished last year under a proposal by the site’s owners, National Grid, and private developers to knock down trees, level ridges and scarify the property to build a solar farm in the footprint. This “replace green with green” plan garnered much community opposition and was ultimately scrapped by Long Island Power Authority, leading civic association and environmental group members to join Englebright in proposing to preserve the parcel by turning it into a state park. The assemblyman also pledged that while there is a great need to install solar panels as a renewable energy source, there are ways to do so without tampering with primeval forest.

In Cuomo’s veto of the proposed bipartisan legislation to preserve these properties, which had been worked on over the past year and passed overwhelmingly through the two houses of the Legislature in June, he

majority of which is produced in my senate district. We can continue to expand the green energies where they will benefit Long Island without damaging the environment as we proceed. Destroying the environment is never the direction I wish to take.”

Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), a career advocate for the environment who worked tooth and nail alongside Englebright and LaValle to preserve these sites, said vetoing the bill “was the wrong thing to do.” “[It’s] the reason why Brookhaven Town adopted a solar code that allows for both the preservation of our open space and the development of solar energy,” Romaine said.

“Brookhaven Town was committed to preserving these lands, and worked right up to the hours before this veto was issued to provide the developer with up to 60 acres of alternative, town-owned sites that did not require the removal of a single tree.”

Some of these alternative solar sites, Englebright later explained, were the paved parking lot of the State Office Building in Hauppauge and the nearby H. Lee Dennison Building, each of the Brookhaven Highway Department yards and the roofs of numerous local schools. Englebright successfully pushed for solar panels to be placed on the roof of Comsewogue’s elementary school.

“Regrettably, the developer did not respond to these offers, and the governor did not take these alternative sites into account when issuing the veto.” Romaine said. “I thank the sponsors, Sen. Ken LaValle, Assemblyman Steve Englebright and their colleagues for their hard work to preserve these ecologically important woodlands, and urge them to re-submit legislation for this in the coming session of the state Legislature.”

Englebright said he plans to reintroduce the legislation in the coming weeks.

“We are going to revisit this, and I hope that the governor keeps an open mind going forward,” he said. “It just requires a little bit of thought to realize that we have a vast amount of the Island where you can place solar panels without cutting down forest. By contrast, there are very few opportunities for preservation on the scale of these two properties. This is a source of some frustration.”

Career firefighter elected to Rocky Point’s commissioner board

BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Ray Strong has helped put out more fires across Rocky Point and Shoreham than he can remember. He has saved countless residents from burning buildings. He stood at Ground Zero to aid in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But entering his 40th year in fire and rescue service, Strong, 59, is stepping into uncharted territory within his field as he begins a fiveyear term on the Rocky Point Fire District’s five-member board of commissioners.

Strong, who joined the Rocky Point Fire Department in 1978 and later served as chief, was elected commissioner Dec. 12 after running unopposed to fill a vacant seat left by former commissioner Gene Buchner, who opted not to run again after his own five-year term ended. A total of 159 votes were cast, and Strong received 153 votes.

He will be officially sworn in Jan. 9 and said he hopes to apply his four decades of hands-on experience and knowledge as both a volunteer and career fireman to the job and better protect the community in which he grew up and lives.

“I want to continue to be an asset to the department,” Strong said. “After 40 years of fighting fires, I think I have enough experience to help me make the difficult decisions that have to be made in regard to protecting our communities and making sure our first responders are getting the best education, training and care. This is going to be a learning experience for me, but I’m looking forward to helping keep the ball rolling.”

Commissioner duties are generally divided among the board members and include overseeing budgets and insurance policies within the district, maintaining the custody and control of all village property of the fire department, and purchasing necessary equipment to prevent and extinguish fires or administer first aid within the area.

“I’m going to do the best I can in whatever job I’m given,” said Strong, who will still serve as a firefighter while in his new position. “My mission in life has always been to be a firefighter and now hopefully a good commissioner. I get a thrill and satisfaction from it. It’s my gift back to my community, and I plan to do that as long as I’m standing on my own two feet.”

He had his first brush with the department as a member of its drum and bugle corps when he was a student at Rocky Point High School, marching in parades and routinely interacting with its members at the firehouse. He became a volunteer at 19 in March 1978 and was trained in first aid and firefighting tactics before taking advanced classes in both. Just two months in, Strong responded to a call to extinguish a major 24-hour fire at a squab farm on Randall Road in Shoreham — still the biggest one he’s ever faced.

“I’ll never forget that,” he said, claiming that fire better prepared him for the job more than any training course could have.

Within Rocky Point, he has primarily served in the district’s North — Ray Strong Shore Beach Company 2 firehouse, on King Road, while also volunteering for a few years at Mastic Beach Fire District. In 1985 Strong was hired as a career fireman within the New York City Fire Department, where he ultimately climbed the ladder to lieutenant of Rescue Company 4 in Woodside, Queens, and served there until he retired in 2016.

“Ray’s going to bring a lot of firsthand experience to the position, which really helps,” said district vice chairman, Kirk Johnson. “He has a ton of knowledge, too, as far as what equipment is needed for firefighters to do their jobs properly and to keep them safe.”

Johnson added that Strong will be particularly helpful when it comes to monitoring the district’s newly passed capital projects to replace the North Shore Beach Company 2 firehouse with a safer, more updated one, and acquire a new fire truck.

‘I get a thrill and satisfaction from it.

It’s my gift back to my community, and I plan to do that as long as I’m standing on my own two feet.’

Fireman Ray Strong, above, on the scene and below right, with his wife Iris, has been elected the newest Rocky Point fire commission board member Dec. 12, having grown up in the community and knowing the ins and outs of the fire department.

“He knows every nook and cranny of that building,” Johnson said.

Bill Lattman, an ex-chief at Rocky Point, has been working alongside Strong since 1982 and said there’s nobody better for the job.

“He’s a great guy and an extremely loyal friend to everyone,” Lattman said. “He’s always been a very hands-on person within the fire district and has been involved in everything in our department. He’s definitely going to bring a lot to the table. He’s going to be a very good asset to the district and the community.”

As an FDNY member, Strong not only saved lives, but bettered them. In 2013 he started a nonprofit motorcycle club called Axemen M/C NY-3, geared toward raising money for special needs children of FDNY firefighters through annual fundraisers and charity events. The organization, which has raised more than $25,000 since 2015, came out of Strong’s own experience with two daughters born with cerebral palsy, both of whom passed away in recent years due to complications with the illness.

“He’s the most kindhearted and giving man that I know,” said his wife Iris Strong.

“Anything he puts his mind to, he gives 100 percent. He’s always looking out for everybody else and if anybody ever needs help with anything, he’s right there and he’ll never ask for any help back. That’s just his nature.”

As commissioner, Strong said he hopes to

strengthen the department’s community relations and keep residents more aware of what goes on within the district. He encourages young people to give volunteering a shot.

“Everybody in fire service started out as a person who just wanted to help their community,” Strong said. “This is what has driven me for decades. People’s lives are being saved daily by your local volunteers, and it’s nothing but a great feeling.”

The Suffolk County Legislature passed a bill that will be signed into law shortly by county Executive Steve Bellone which creates a public financing option for political candidates and also imposes stricter limits on private contributions.

Suffolk Legislature passes campaign finance reform

BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Money for political candidates in Suffolk County could soon be coming from an unusual place.

With the passing of a new campaign finance reform bill by the Suffolk County Legislature, a bill that sets strict limits on the amount of money candidates can raise and spend on their races while also establishing a fund of Page A22 public dollars for candidates for office, its supporters hope for more competitive, diverse and public-friendly local elections in the future. Those who oppose it, however, believe it will only add to the county’s dire financial problems.

Legislator Rob Calarco (D-Patchogue) sponsored the bill, A Charter Law Establishing a Fair Elections Matching Fund, approved in an 11-7 vote Dec. 19, aims to set a public financing system in place for legislative candidates beginning in 2021 and county executive candidates in 2023.

Under the bill, which Calarco based on New York City’s matching funds program, legislative candidates wishing to receive public funds are limited to raising and spending $100,000 in total for an election. To qualify to receive matching funds, he or she must raise at least $5,000 in small dollar donations of $250 or less from constituents within their district, allowing them to receive $50,000 in a 4-to-1 public match. While current law allows candidates to accept private donations between $1,600 and $3,000 from a single source, the new bill restricts that amount to $1,500.

When the bill takes effect, candidates running for county executive will not be able to raise or spend more than $2 million in total and will be limited to accepting $25,000 from a single source — roughly $20,000 less than current limitations. To qualify for matching funds, they must raise $25,000 from contributions of $250 or less for a 4-to-1 match totaling $250,000.

All matching dollars will be paid for by profits from a new source of revenue: the

Editorial comment

Suffolk Off-Track Betting Corp.’s video lottery terminals in Jake’s 58 Hotel & Casino in Islandia, projected to total $20 million per year, according to Calarco. He said he wants to have $1 million per year go toward financing the system. Those who opposed the bill, including Legislator Al Krupski (D-Cutchogue), argued against the funds coming directly from taxpayers and not being reinvested in the county’s economy.

Calarco said with the bill he aimed to dismantle the perception that elected officials are beholden to corporations and powerful people who are able to make large contributions to their campaigns and empower all residents to play a part in elections with small dollar donations. He said he also hopes it will encourage more grassroots candidates to rise up and challenge incumbents.

“At the end of the day, money alone doesn’t win a race,” Calarco said. “We are spending more and more money on these elections that maybe is not necessarily needed. For candidates, your ideas matter, what you do matters, what you think the constituents want matters.

This is about getting the electoral process and the political process refocused on the citizens and on the voters, and giving them greater access. Giving the average person who might have community support but doesn’t have access to a lot of money the ability to run for office and have their voices heard. It’s going to create a lot more competition. And the most important thing in a democracy is that the voters have that competition and have real choices: two real, viable candidates running against each other in an election.”

Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) voted against the bill.

“It’s a sham,” Trotta said. “It will only make campaigns more expensive rather than less expensive and it’s using taxpayer money, which should be going toward our $2 billion debt.

It’s a 2-second sound bite that sounds good to some people but the reality of it is that it limits nothing. It doesn’t limit how much Democrats or Repuplicans can pump into a campaign.”

Calarco said he expects the bill will soon be signed into law by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D).

Sini sworn in as Suffolk’s new district attorney

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Though calendars and thermometers will provide unmistakable evidence that spring is still several months away, new hope sprung eternal in Suffolk County Jan. 2.

Tim Sini (D) was officially sworn in by U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York), the Senate minority leader, to begin his tenure as Suffolk County’s district attorney, a position Sini captured with a 26-point landslide Election Day victory over his Republican opponent Ray Perini.

Sini officially assumed the vacated position Tuesday, left open by his retired and federally indicted predecessor Tom Spota (D), during an inauguration ceremony at the Brentwood campus of Suffolk County Community College in front of town and county elected officials and friends and family of the new DA. Sini campaigned on restoring public faith to a position and office now synonymous with controversy and accusations.

Speakers including County Executive Steve Bellone (D), former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York David Kelley and co-chairman of Sini’s campaign and transition team and the newly inaugurated DA himself, each referred to his responsibility in restoring that faith as a primary objective during his time on the job.

“The prosecutor’s mission at its core is not to seek convictions, but to seek justice,” Bellone said. “It is like many things that this person of deep faith believes to

Chuck Schumer, above center, at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood Jan. 2. Below, Sini speaks about looking toward the future during the ceremony. his core. Unfortunately in Suffolk County for too many years and in too many instances this truth has been overshadowed by self-dealing and chicanery. I can tell you with certainty, with as much certainty

as one individual can hold, that this chain is broken today — that a new era of integrity in the Suffolk County district attorney’s office has begun.”

Though their time in the Eastern District of New York didn’t overlap, Kelley served as the head of the U.S. Attorneys office, where Sini was an assistant U.S. attorney before returning to Suffolk, where Bellone eventually appointed him police commissioner. During his remarks, Kelley cited a quote from a 1935 Supreme Court decision in which members of the court took a prosecutor to task for his conduct, indicating the quote was particularly relevant for Suffolk County and should remind Sini of his duties ahead.

“The prosecutor is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all, and whose in-

terest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution, is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done,” Kelley recited from the court’s findings. “As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor — indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones.”

The theme of Sini’s message during the ceremony was to look forward.

“Today marks the beginning — marks the moment that together, we usher in a new era of criminal justice in Suffolk County, one that ensures public safety, champions the law and promotes faith and trust in our law enforcement agencies,” he said.

“Each and every day the public will know that the Suffolk County district attorney’s office is doing the right thing.”

Sheriff to be inaugurated Jan. 5 The Suffolk County Water Authority honored board member Errol Toulon Jr. Toulon, who has been a member of the board since 2010, will be resigning his post to serve in his new position as Suffolk County sheriff. During his time on the board, Toulon supported such noteworthy initiatives as the New York State legislation that allows unpaid SCWA customer balances to be placed as liens on property tax bills, which is expected to save SCWA hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in previously uncollectable payments; SCWA’s Advanced Oxidation Process system to remove 1,4-dioxane from groundwater; and maintaining the authority’s strong record of fiscal responsibility, helping the organization earn two AAA bond ratings in 2016.

“I’m very proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish for our ratepayers during my time on this board,” Toulon said. “It has been an incredible seven years. ... My experience here has truly been one of the highlights of my career.”

As the first African-American sheriff in the county’s history, Toulon will be sworn into office Jan. 5 at noon at Suffolk County Community College’s Brentwood campus. It’s by invitation only, but the ceremony can be viewed on Facebook Live at www.facebook. com/suffolksheriff.

“Our loss is the people of Suffolk County’s gain,” James Gaughran, SCWA board chairman, said. “We know Errol will do a terrific job as sheriff and we wish him well.”

Longtime Babylon, Shoreham football coach will be Hans Wiederkehr revered for on and off the field commitment, care and football expertise

BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM T.J. Lynch grew up without a father.

With no direction or motivation, all he knew was that he enjoyed playing football. Hans Wiederkehr, the head coach at Babylon High School at the time, struck up a relationship with Lynch like he had with many players before him. He would pick up the athlete early in the morning to make sure he was going to school, take him to the weight room and speak to him about the potential he saw.

“He was the biggest positive influence in my life,” the 1998 graduate said of Wiederkehr. “He was a very caring man, and he guided me. He showed me how to train, breathed words of encouragement and wisdom about life into me and lifted me up. He made you want to be better on the field and in the classroom. He got you excited about life.”

Relationships like the one Wiederkehr had with Lynch are what the soon-to-be Suffolk County Sports Hall of Fame inductee had hoped for when he decided to trade in an NFL career for a high school coaching gig back in 1988. Making a positive impact on someone’s life drew him from the gridiron to the sideline, and as a result he’ll hold a special place in Suffolk’s athletic history.

The Shoreham resident was born in Connecticut and played for East Lyme, graduating in 1981. He competed in the state championship his senior year, and after receiving multiple offers to play at the next level, decided to commit to Syracuse University on a scholarship. The 6-foot, 4-inch 322-pound offensive lineman played under defensive coordinator George O’Leary, a Central Islip native who went on to coach at his alma mater, and eventually with the San Diego Chargers and Minnesota Vikings. While leading Central Islip, O’Leary mentioned to Wiederkehr, who had a physical education degree, that if things didn’t work out with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was on the injured reserve list following college, that a teaching job and eventually head coaching position would be available at Babylon. While rehabbing, he spent a year as an assistant at Babylon under 20-year head coach Tom DiNuovo, which is where he caught the coaching bug. He returned the following year and took over the helm when DiNuovo retired.

“Probably the most enjoyable part of coaching is teaching a kid something that he really doesn’t think he can do, and then looking into his eyes after he completes something and say, ‘I told you so,’ that’s the biggest kick I get out of coaching,” Wiederkehr said. “You work with kids who are there because they really love the game, and I fell in love with coaching. I decided this is what I want to do.”

The head coach, who went on to enjoy a 15-year career, said he wanted to pay it forward, giving to others what coaches had given to him. When he was a sophomore in high school, his parents moved to Schenectady, but he wanted to stay in Connecticut because he saw potential in his team. Head coach Tom Smyth opened up his home to Wiederkehr and let him live with him until he graduated.

“He was a lead figure in my life next to my dad,” Wiederkehr said of Smyth. “I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for him. He got my name out there and opened up the doors for me.

It’s unbelievable the pedigree of coaches that I’ve had, and all those guys have one thing in common — they preached outworking your opponent.”

While at Babylon, Wiederkehr amassed a 99-41-2 record, good for a 0.70 winning percentage. The Panthers reached the playoffs 12 times and won nine league titles under his guidance, going on to play in nine Suffolk County finals, winning five, followed by two Long Island championships.

He coached alongside Rick Punzone, his defensive coordinator, and the pair of 25-yearolds led the team until Wiederkehr retired in 2002, leaving the team in the hands of Punzone, who has now been the head coach at Babylon for 15 years.

“With his experience we had very successful teams,” said Punzone, the

Hans Wiederkehr, a former NFL player, decided to leave his playing career behind to coach high school football at Babylon for 15 years, before deciding to leave it behind to coach his son Ethan at Shoreham-Wading River. godfather of one of Wiederkehr’s daughters, who considers the coach a best friend of his for the last 28 years. “He’s a brother to me.

He was professional, and always gave me free reign over the defense. We weren’t always the most talented but he got the most out of the kids, which is why we were always known as one of the tougher schools around.

It’s because of his leadership, work ethic and organization.”

Wiederkehr left coaching to focus on his daughters, and eventually went on to coach his son in youth programs at Shoreham-Wading River.

“He stopped to watch my sisters develop,” his son Ethan Wiederkehr said. “It just shows you what type of person he is.

He’s a family first type of guy.

— T.J. Lynch He’s not selfish, he cares about others and he’s a humble person. It’s been amazing to call him my father.”

Punzone also noted Hans Wiederkehr’s work with and attention to detail regarding his position as president of the Suffolk County Football Coaches Association.

“He’s taken our association to the next level,” he said. “I’m a coach in the association and we’ve never had as good a leadership as we’ve had under his reign.”

Joe Cipp Jr., the head coach at Bellport for the 31 years, who has collected his own 202-84-3 record and been a coaching friend

of Wiederkehr’s over his entire career, said he took on being president the same way he tackled anything else in his life, giving it 100 percent.

“He puts a million hours in, just like he does with coaching, without getting paid,”

inducted into Suffolk County Sports Hall of Fame

Cipp said. “I could say he puts in 150 percent of the effort, but there’s no such thing. He makes the football awards dinner something special to the kids in Suffolk County. He does a tremendous job, and it speaks to the type of person he’s been his whole life. And as a coach, he was able to demand tremendous [effort] of his kids and still be well-liked. It’s the best combination you could be.”

Wiederkehr is one of 11 honorees selected for the hall of fame out of 32 nominees.

According to Section XI Executive Director Tom Combs, who was a head coach at Babylon’s rival Harborfields for 13 years, his former opponent is the first to get into the hall of fame his first time being nominated.

“It says a lot about what a good man he is,” Combs said. “It’s very competitive, especially their first time on the ballot, and Hans is just a great coach and mentor to a lot of people. His teams were always very well prepared and it usually came down to our two teams for the head of our division. There were some fierce battles. He’s a hard-nosed guy but the kids loved that discipline and direction that he provided. You could see he motivated the kids, and they loved him.”

He added that giving up reaching the monumental 100 wins once again shows how he’s always willing to put others before himself. He eventually became an assistant coach to the Shoreham-Wading River varsity team under head coach Matt Millheiser.

His son Ethan was part of two undefeated seasons and three straight Long Island championships. The 6-foot, 5-inch 273-pound offensive lineman accepted a scholarship to play at Northwestern University after winning the Bob Zellner Award, presented to Suffolk’s top lineman. He has aspirations of going pro.

“I fell in love with the team aspect of it, the relationships you build with your teammates and extend your family,” Ethan Wiederkehr said. “It’s hard to pinpoint any one thing since he taught be so much, but through hard work and dedication you can accomplish almost anything. I’ve learned to push through difficult obstacles to gain success. There was ups and downs having him in the sideline, but looking back now it’s been a blessing to have him by my side. He’s developed me as a person and an athlete through our experiences together on the field.”

Ken Gray, whose multisport standout son Chris played under Wiederkehr, remembered the first time he met the coach.

“Parents want their kids to win, and he was about teaching them about not always wining at an early age and expanding the program,” said Gray, whose son started playing football at 5 years old. “Shoreham-Wading River wasn’t a big football community, and I’d say over 10 years he did a pretty good job of developing a pretty good program. I think that’s a result of Hans’ commitment to the community and the kids.”

Babylon athletic director Michael DeJoseph, was one of several who along with Cipp, wrote letters of recommendation for Wiederkehr to be inducted. DeJoseph said he was not at all surprised when he heard the news but, like many, said he wasn’t aware he’d been selected, because the coach remains humble.

“It’s beyond well deserved,” said DeJoseph, who was hired by Wiederkehr

One win shy of the coveted 100, Hans Wiederkehr left the helm of Babylon to work with youth in Shoreham-Wading River school district, including his son Ethan, above with wife Karen. Below, Wiederkehr gets doused with water following a SWR playoff win.

‘Probably the most enjoyable part of coaching is teaching a kid something that he really doesn’t think he can do, and then looking into his eyes after he completes something and say, “I told you so.”’

— Hans Wiederkehr as a teacher and coach of the junior varsity team, and eventually worked his way up the ladder. “He really cared about the kids, and he showed me and the players blueprints for success. As impressive he is as a coach he’s probably more impressive as a father, husband and family man. He’s a community guy who cares for others.”

Former athlete Drew Peters, a 2002 graduate, also said he knows about his former coach’s devotion firsthand. He played on the varsity team all four years of high school and said he and all of Wiederkehr’s players felt like he cared about him.

“He treated you like you were one of his kids,” he said. “When you’re on a team of 30-plus kids, every one of you felt very special to him, and I think that’s what made you play even harder. He had that fatherlike figure to everyone on the team and we always wanted to do our best for him.”

Peters spoke of his coaches sacrifices, saying Wiederkehr would drive from Shoreham, even during the winter months, to pick up

his athletes at 6 a.m. and take them to the weight room before school started. He said he’ll never forgot how the man with three children would sacrifice his own time to come to each one of his teammates houses to pick them up. He became so close with so many of the players, he even attended several of their weddings, including Peters’.

“He teaches you a lot more than just the sport, he prepared us young men to go through the struggles that you’ll face in life,” he said. “My senior year we lost in the Long Island championship and it was a tough game for us, but there was a controversial penalty that I was involved in and he took me under his wing after the game and said, ‘Hey, if this is the worst thing that’s ever going to happen to you in life, losing a football game in high school, then you’re going to have a pretty good life.’ And I just remember that being something that obviously at the time was very upsetting but it’s true, it was a game that was very important to everybody, but he definitely had a way of putting things into perspective.”

Debate success Photo from Shoreham-Wading River Central School District

Lunch is served: Get it while it’s hot Students at Wading River School embraced new choices in lunch selections when the cafeteria’s grand opening was recently celebrated.

The new cafeteria and kitchen were part of the district’s renewal project, approved by community residents in 2015 to create improved instructional space, promote energy efficiencies, preserve the basic integrity of the district’s school buildings and improve other resources for the schools

and community.

The space, which previously served a la carte items, now boasts a full kitchen and full menu of healthy hot meal options.

Menu mainstays include beef tacos, grilled cheese, chicken sandwiches, pasta and pizza. Students can select from a daily specials menu and yogurts, fresh salads and fruits. An emphasis on using gluten-free ingredients and avoiding foods with high fructose corn syrup are also included.

The Shoreham-Wading River High School debate team had success during its first competition at Syosset High School.

Seven students — Sarah Acerra, Declan Beran, Emma Kirkpatrick, Patrick Lane, Katie Loscalzo, Mahdi Rashidzada and Jalal Sawas — each debated four times throughout the tournament. Acerra, Beran, Loscalzo and Rashidzada each won one of the junior varsity rounds in which they competed, and Acerra scored 29 out of 30 points in her first round.

The students participated in the Lincoln Douglas Debate, a debate of values in which each side attempts to prove that it can provide a better value than the other side. The

topic was whether wealthy nations have an obligation to provide development assistance to other nations.

Beran and Kirkpatrick, co-captains of the team, started it last year and worked with SWR High School English teacher and adviser Brenna Gilroy to get other students interested. They meet weekly to practice debating, learning effective research and analytical and public speaking skills, as well as teamwork and collaboration.

“It was a memorable experience for everyone,” Gilroy said. “The team is now looking forward to honing their skills for January’s tournament at Schreiber High School.”

A new dimension of learning Students at Wading River School experienced an up-close look at a volcano erupting, a dinosaur roaring and an exploration of the solar system during a one-day augmented reality pilot program held at the school. These lessons were part of the district’s continued commitment to introducing students to progressive advances in technology to supplement their learning experiences.

The Google Expeditions AR Pioneer Program brought the world into the classroom and engaged and motivated students with captivating lessons. While many of the students were already familiar with virtual reality, which immerses a user so that they cannot see the real world around them, the AR technology allowed them to see a real world supplemented with virtual elements.

The technology allows the teacher to control the lesson with a master device that will place the 3-D object — in these particular lessons, a volcano, a dinosaur, a planet — while students walk around with their handheld devices, look for details in the specific object and step back to experience the full picture.

The program was well received by students and staff alike, according to Amy Meyer, the district’s director of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

With morning teacher training sessions, the expeditions served as visual aids to the afternoon lesson plans for the students. Feedback was provided by educators and students during the sessions and will be shared with the program providers.

May you be blessed this New Year with inner peace, true love and unconditional joy!

A new academic adventure is taking place at Shoreham-Wading River High School, as 16 students in grades nine through 12 are learning to apply STEM-based skills through their school’s newly founded robotics team.

During the club’s first meeting last November, team members helped to unbox, organize and assess their competitive Vex robotic gear in preparation for their first robotic building competition.

STEM concepts will be put to the test as the

students explore the fundamentals of the engineering design process while practicing teamwork, leadership and communication skills.

The team members will design and build robots to compete in a game-based engineering challenge using GitHub, a development platform that allows them to host and review code.

“I am glad to be able to join and look forward to working with the others,” senior Christian Wesselberg said. “It will be a team effort and an exciting opportunity for us all.”

Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School students got into the holiday spirit by creating several different artistic creations.

After reading the book “Gingerbread Friends,” by Jan Brett, first-grade students created two-dimensional gingerbread houses. With the help of art teacher Laura Goelz, the students incorporated the lessons they learned on patterns and basic architecture to design their own individual structures. They embellished the drawings with a variety of details before adding a dusting of “snow.”

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor

Zeldin visits troops overseas for holidays

Photo from Suffolk County Legislature

County Deputy Presiding Officer Rob Calarco discusses a public financing system for county elections Dec. 14.

Financial inspiration Suffolk County’s Legislature passed a law that will create a public financing system for candidates seeking elected offices in the county.

The bill will also create stricter limits on the amount of funds they can raise and spend. The overall goal of the legislation is to open doors for more candidates. If signed by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) in the next few weeks, the new law, modeled after election funds implemented in many parts of the country, will take effect beginning in 2021 for the majority of county candidates and 2023 for those running for county executive.

This past election year we met many newcomers to the political scene, some of whom said they were inspired by the 2016 presidential election. Creating a fund for those who may not have access to big donors is a great idea, which may provide more options when it comes to voting on Election Day. In an age where candidates seeking office have been criticized for accepting donations from wealthy, influential corporate heads and special interest groups, we feel the bill is a step in the right direction toward more allegiance to those that elected officials represent — the voters. Having the option to receive money from a public fund will hopefully inspire people to run for office who might not have otherwise.

If Bellone signs the bill, for those who wish to receive public funds, raising and spending of money on campaigns for county positions will be limited to $100,000 in total for an election, or in the case of county executive, $2 million. The bill restricts the maximum amount from one source to $1,500 for a legislative campaign, or $25,000 for county executive. Currently, candidates can receive anywhere from $1,600 to $3,000 from one source depending on their district; the new executive limit is approximately $20,000 less than in previous years.

A fund will also be set up for candidates who raise at least $5,000 in small dollar donations of $250 or less from residents in their district, essentially allowing for the public financing of Suffolk elections. The fund will allow those running for office to receive up to $50,000 in a 4-to-1 matching money. For county executive candidates, he or she must raise at least $25,000 from contributions of $250 or less for a 4-to-1 match up to $250,000.

The matched funds will come from the county’s share of the profits from Suffolk Off-Track-Betting. According to the county’s 2016 annual financial report, OTB’s capital asset net was $26,714,106. Due to the county’s current deficit, many criticizing the bill feel the money could be better utilized elsewhere. While we agree there are many areas the OTB funds can be used, this is one way to raise the money for the matching election-funding program. Considering that the new process may open the doors to a broader range of candidates, our hope is that this incentive will bring new and better solutions to the county in regard to the financial crisis and other issues in the near future.

It was an honor to have just spent my third consecutive Christmas in the Middle East with our nation’s troops and diplomats stationed overseas. In 2015, I joined our service members in Iraq and Kuwait, and in 2016, I visited them in Afghanistan and Qatar.

This past Christmas, I traveled to Afghanistan, Kuwait and Jordan.

It is not easy for our deployed men and women to spend the holiday season thousands of miles away from home, having great family and friends missing them around the Christmas tree or Hanukkah menorah. For many of our deployed military and diplomatic personnel, this isn’t their first holiday season away from their loved ones.

It is my highest honor to be able to personally thank all of them for their tremendous sacrifice on behalf of a grateful nation.

Serving them their Christmas Day meals, letting them know how much they are appreciated and receiving their critical feedback are the absolute least I can do to make sure they know countless Americans are thinking about them, praying for them and filled with enormous gratitude for their incredible sacrifice.

Each and every time I visit our troops abroad, I return with some of the greatest memories of my life and critical knowledge to guide my decisions throughout the halls of Congress. It is the brave men and women I have had the honor to meet over the last three Christmases that further cement my commitment to

ensuring our nation’s troops have everything they need to safely and effectively do their jobs and return home.

In this year’s National Defense Authorization Act, I voted for a 2.4 percent pay raise for our troops, their biggest pay raise in eight years. Additionally, this year’s NDAA included a much-needed strengthening of cyberoperations, funding Department of Defense cyberoperations at $8 billion, an increase of $1.7 billion from last year. Investing in cybersecurity tools ensures that our troops have the 21st century resources they need to combat ever-evolving terror threats at home and abroad.

Furthermore, this year, I voted for the Make America Secure Appropriations Act, which provides a total of $658.1 billion for the DOD, including critical resources to defeat ISIS and other terrorist groups.

Our nation’s servicemen and women on the ground put their lives on the line each and every day for the freedoms and liberties that make this country the greatest in the world, and they deserve nothing less than our full support.

However, our commitment to our troops continues after they leave the battlefield. When they return home, we must ensure they have our full support in transitioning back into civilian life. In September, I reaffirmed my commitment to ending veteran homelessness by introducing legislation that helps decrease veteran homelessness through continued funding of the Supportive Services

for Veteran Families program.

Ensuring our homeless veterans have shelter and a safe place to live should never be a partisan issue. Even one homeless veteran is too many.

Throughout my time in Congress, one of my top priorities has been ensuring our nation’s disabled veterans receive the health care they have earned. In 2017, my legislation to expand care for disabled veterans on Long Island and across the country passed both the House and Senate and hopefully will soon become law. My legislation would ensure disabled veterans receive the best and most efficient outpatient services to provide them with the assistance and special attention they need in their day-to-day lives, while still allowing them to maintain their independence through access to adult day health care.

These programs allow veterans to lead a much more fulfilling life and helps keep families together and strong while simultaneously reducing overall health care costs for the veteran.

These brave men and women answered the call to service and repeatedly put their lives at risk to support and defend our Constitution and ensure the safety and security of our country. I will never stop fighting for our nation’s veterans, our troops on the ground and the families back home who eagerly await their safe return.

They have earned nothing less.

Miller House gets a new roof for Christmas We did it!

With your help and support, our quest to replace the William Miller House’s historic roof in Miller Place is finally becoming a reality.

Between the events we held and the donations made by the community we were able to raise the $18,300 needed to accomplish this much-needed restoration.

The board of the Miller PlaceMount Sinai Historical Society would like to thank everyone involved with this task.

Santa examined the shingles and approved them as being safe for his reindeer just in time for Christmas.

OPINION

On Colbert, Oppenheimer and fame

M

y family and I waited in the airport immigration line, eager to get back to our house, unload our suitcases and throw in the first of numerous loads of laundry.

We hoped our poor washing machine, which got a much-needed break, was up to the task.

When we reached the front of the line, a young man with a broad smile and a far-off look in his eyes greeted us.

“Hi,” we both said, trying to follow his gaze.

“Happy New Year.”

“Yeah, you,

By Daniel Dunaief too,” he said, sizing us up briefly before offering a goofy grin to people heading down the escalator.

“You know who Stephen Colbert is?” he asked, realizing that we were star-

D. None of the above

ing at him.

My wife and I responded quickly in the affirmative, worried that this was a new kind of national identity test.

“He’s up there,” the young man said, pointing to the escalator. “If you hurry, you can catch him.”

We took back our passports and immediately kicked into a higher gear.

We got to the bottom of the escalator and scanned the room. Wait! Could it be? Yes! The man, who is beamed into our bedroom on an occasional evening when we’re not watching sports, was standing in front of us under a baseball cap, waiting, as we were, for his luggage so he could move on with his famous life.

What is it about celebrities that makes us stop in our tracks, that raises our pulse, that makes us want to take out our cameras, pens and paper, and rush over to them? Do we want to share the spotlight? Do celebrities define an era, the way winning sports teams do?

Most unscripted celebrities seem considerably less interesting or com-

pelling than they do when they’re battling against evil empires, winning our hearts with their humble charm or learning to overcome their limitations.

It’s what makes those award shows so fascinating, compelling and terrifying. What if one of these actors who has impressed us with his gravitas suddenly freezes in the camera or, worse, says something we find objectionable?

What if they aren’t as wonderful as the characters they play?

We watched Colbert as he dove deep into his electronic device, head down, hat pulled low. He rarely looked up because he probably didn’t want anyone to “make” him, the way police officers make a suspect.

As Colbert exited, my phone rang.

I spoke to the person who was picking us up, hung up and snapped a picture of the talk show host, who looked displeased that my phone was tracking him.

I suppose being a celebrity has its advantages and disadvantages. People might otherwise extend themselves for you, hoping to share in the spotlight or

become friends. The downside? People want to capture their live moment with you, when you are eager to glide past the unwashed masses.

Long ago, I remember reading an anecdote about Robert Oppenheimer.

After people learned of his role as the creator of the atomic bomb and leader of the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer was asked his opinion on a range of subjects. People attached greater weight to his opinions, even in areas for which he had limited information. The man who helped split the atom limited his responses to future questions, preferring to remain anonymous in areas outside his expertise.

Today, with cameras everywhere and people eager to learn about the view of the world from on high, being quiet or ducking under a hat must be increasingly challenging. Yes, I know people like Colbert make incredible amounts of money, but I also appreciate how difficult it must be to stay incognito while rushing home with several loads of laundry.

research and repeated urgings in the media, data reveals that most Americans are sleep deprived. With so much to do each day, it is too easy to cut down sleep time. That might work for a day or two, but research shows that it is not possible to make up for lost hours in the long term. So don’t use your computer just before you go to bed, don’t even watch TV. Something about the light from those home essentials interferes with the urge to sleep.

Try to go to bed more or less the same time each night and wake up the same time each morning. Habit is a great helper. And if you tend to wake up in the middle of the night with the many chores you have for the next day ping-ponging around inside your head, put the bedside light on, make a to-do list with a pencil on a pad you have ready next to your bed, then turn off the light, and having discharged your memory, you can fall back to sleep until morning.

Another good thing to do is to eat foods with lots of fiber. “A diet of fiberrich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, reduces the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.

Indeed, the evidence for fiber’s benefits extends beyond any particular ailment,” according to a recent science article by Carl Zimmer in The New York Times.

People who eat more fiber simply have lower odds of dying. Somehow fiber is able to reduce inflammation in the body. Long-term inflammation can cause harm, although short-term inflammation does fight infection. How fiber works is a bit of a mystery because it is not directly digestible. There is a connection between fiber and the billions of bacteria that live in our guts. In essence, we feed our microbes fiber to enable them to strengthen our immune systems. Take it on faith and don’t ask me more.

One issue that is, of course, most distressing to me is that of fake news.

Be assured, please, that whatever you might read in our hometown papers and on our well-read website, is fact and as true as we know it to be.

If we err, we will correct.

Let’s keep in mind the old Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times. It may be a negative for some, but for journalists, it provides jobs.

Sleep, eat and be well in 2018

eels odd to write 2018, doesn’t it?

No more Christmas celebrations, no more vacation days, no more New Year’s parties, we’re back to the real world. And what a real world it is. The North Koreans have a button.

We have a bigger button that works.

Meanwhile both leaders have strange haircuts.

Primarily young people are rioting throughout Iran as the rulers threaten a violent crackdown.

The Palestinians don’t want to hear from the president of the United States as

The war in Afghanistan, our longest war, slogs on, with no end in sight. Brutality, death, starvation and proxy wars rage throughout the Middle East and northern Africa.

Between you and me

By contrast, here in America, more people line up to sue Harvey Weinstein for sexual harassment or worse each day. Icons fall, Democrats and Republicans squabble, Republicans and Republicans squabble, governors and accountants strategize how to navigate the new tax laws, and we in Suffolk County are warned to hunker down in the face of a fierce and imminent nor’easter bringing tons of snow.

Enough already! Here’s what I say to all of that. Let’s focus on the things we have some hope of controlling and stand by to help with the rest. What do we actually control? We can start with ourselves.

On the threshold of this new year, we can pay more attention to our health. Everyone quite rightly wishes friends and family “a healthy and happy New Year.” Good things start with good health. Wishing won’t make it happen. Action will.

Most important, to me, along with lots of health professionals, is enough sleep of good quality. This strengthens the immune system, cognitive function and minimizes wrinkles — well, the first two anyway. Yet despite the
