Shoreham-Wading River’s new superintendent, gerard Poole, speaks during an April 18 board of education meeting.

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com After a grueling months-long search, Shoreham-Wading River school district has finally found a new superintendent.

Gerard Poole, who has served as Freeport School District’s assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction since 2013, was officially appointed at the top of Shoreham-Wading River’s April 18 board of education meeting.

He will be the district’s full-time superintendent, taking over for interim Neil Lederer, effective July 1.

An educator for more than 20 years, Poole, 50, started out as an elementary school teacher and instructional coach in the Riverhead Central School District and eventually landed an administrative position in Valley Stream school district before transferring to Freeport.

Although Poole has been a lifelong resident of Mattituck, where he lives with his wife and two sons, he said it was an easy decision to apply for the Shoreham-Wading River position. He said he believes it’s one of the best districts on Long Island.

“It’s truly a privilege and an honor to have the chance to collaborate and build upon the successes of the school district,” Poole said during the meeting. “I’ve met many parents, teachers and administrators and [got] a warm welcome and sense of community from everyone.”

He said when he was interviewed for the job in February, it was clear he and the district saw eye to eye.

“I thought it was a great fit,” Poole said.

There are some key things for every superintendent to be successful, he explained. “[The most important thing] is to be really open, accessible, forthright, collaborate with the community — to really find out exactly where we want to head, figure out the programs and what the student needs to really reach their full potential,” he said. “It’s not just really important for me to look at documents or student outcomes, but to really listen and hear from parents, staff and students, and work with the board to continue to come up with the great work that’s already in place here in Shoreham.”

Poole’s outlook falls directly in line with what parents in the district asked for.

Bob Freier and Joann Kaplan of District Wise Search Consultants were hired by the district in November not just to find a new

superintendent, but to gauge the community on what kind of characteristics they should seek in finding a permanent replacement for previous full-time superintendent Steven Cohen, who retired last summer after holding the position for five years.

Kaplan said the group interviewed more than 30 prospective candidates and narrowed it down to Poole.

“It was very important for the superintendent to be a face in the community and be a part of the fiber of the school — not just somebody in the office but somebody who would become a part of the culture of ShorehamWading River,” Kaplan said. “We actively recruited [Poole] because he’s brought so many incredible things to Freeport. He met our goals and excelled.”

During his four years in Freeport, Poole focused on providing world-class opportunities for his students, believing that all of them should receive core foundational skills before graduating.

He partnered with local universities to implement a challenging curriculum to prepare students for college, which included elementary-level introduction to technology, advanced science research and expanding college credit opportunities.

Board president John Zukowski said Poole stood out above the rest of the candidates.

“He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the district — he knows the culture here,” Zukowski said. “He has a lot of enthusiasm and incredible ideas. One of the things that stood out for me was how do we become one of those special districts on Long Island? One way is to pick a leader that has a vision. For me, he had that vision.”

Zukowski ended the meeting by referring to Michelangelo, the Italian Renaissance artist, who for three straight years slaved away at a massive piece of marble deemed too defective by other sculptors to create something out of. Michelangelo eventually sculpted his renowned David statue out of that rock. When asked how he did it, the artist said, “I see the angels in the marble, and I carve until I set them free.”

“On those days in this job when you feel you are just pounding rocks,” Zukowski said to Poole, “I’m going to ask you to keep carving because we definitely have angels here that you can set free. On behalf of the board, welcome aboard ... we look forward to working with you so we can develop the potential of every kid in this district.”

Protecting against plane crashes

By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Following a spike in small plane crashes over the last few years, U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) called for an investigation, and he got answers.

On March 3, Schumer sent a letter to the National Transportation Safety Board asking for an in-depth analysis of recent U.S.-registered civil aircraft accidents on Long Island to help develop recommendations to prevent future incidents.

“I strongly urge you not just to conduct yet another investigation … but to also undertake a comprehensive and system-wide review to understand why these accidents are happening, and what can be done in order to decrease the occurrences,” he wrote in the letter.

“The number of airplane crashes across the system must be reduced.”

This request came after a recent crash in Southampton, though others have also occurred in Shoreham, Port Jefferson, Setauket, Kings Park and Hauppauge in recent years.

The board, in a letter of response to Schumer, said it examined data from accidents in New York over the last five years, including the number of accidents, types of injuries, types of operations, causes of accidents and locations.

Since 2012, 156 aviation accidents have occurred, with 140 of these aircraft operating as flights under Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations — small noncommercial aircraft.

The causes have been similar in nature for the incidents with completed investigations. Most included safety-related issues, like loss of control, which occurred in one-third of aviation

accidents. An in-flight loss of control accident involves an unintended departure from controlled flight, which could be caused by an engine stall, pilot distraction, loss of situational awareness or weather. According to the letter, the board said that preventing loss of control in flight in general aviation is currently on its 2018 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements.

Other causes of aviation accidents included loss of engine power, controlled flight into terrain and hard landings.

Moving forward, the board plans to reach out to the general aviation community and host a safety seminar later this year.

“We consider Long Island a suitable venue for this safety seminar because a number of general aviation accidents have occurred in that area and because we believe the robust general aviation community there will be receptive to our safety outreach,” the letter stated. “We anticipate that this seminar will help raise awareness about these recent accidents in New York and around the country and about specific issues affecting the general aviation community.”

Rocky Point family honors Apollo 13 mission-member By ritA J. egAn rita@tbrnewspapers.com When James Riordan, 82, died in 2016 after battling lung cancer, many would think his greatest contribution to the world was his involvement with the Apollo 13 space mission.

But to his relatives, it was his sense of family and kindness that touched others most.

Inheriting his sense of generosity, the former Stony Brook resident’s family participated in the American Lung Association Fight for Air Climb April 1 for the second straight time, raising $1,512 for the cause in his memory. This year’s event included 600 participants climbing the 55 flights of stairs at One Penn Plaza, a New York City skyscraper, the equivalent of 1,210 steps.

Granddaughter Jessica Frisina, of Rocky Point, organized Team Apollo in honor of her fond memories of the aerospace engineer with the Northrop Grumman Corporation.

“He was completely humble,” she said.

“He was so willing to help anybody and everybody. He just wanted to lend a helping hand

to anyone that was willing to take it — just a generous and kind person. He didn’t have a mean bone in his body.”

Riordan, who lived in Stony Brook with his wife Ruth since 1964, was an integral member of the Apollo 13 mission. Due to his work helping to direct the team on the construction of the Lunar Excursion Module and its safe return, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Richard Nixon in 1970 along with his fellow members of the Apollo 13 Mission Operations Team.

His son Bob Riordan, Frisina’s stepfather, said while growing up he and his siblings didn’t realize just how important their father’s job was. It wasn’t until they were going through their father’s books, or hearing from friends who worked at Grumman, that they realized just how much he had accomplished.

He said they were amazed that their father was in the control room during the Apollo 13 mission and treasure the book “Race to the Moon,” where James Riordan is pictured in a control room with astronaut Neil Armstrong.

“We can’t believe we had a father who did this for a living,” Bob Riordan said.

The son said he isn’t surprised his father didn’t talk much about his work though, because of his modesty.

“He never cared about keeping up with the Joneses,” he said. “All he ever cared about was his family.”

James Riordan suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the early stages of emphysema, and about a year before his passing, he was diagnosed with stage 0 lung cancer. His son said his father smoked for decades, starting as a teenager.

Frisina said she got the idea to start the Fight for Air Climb team after her grandfather’s death, and Riordan said he wasn’t surprised.

“I was so proud of her for doing that, but that’s the kind of person Jessica is,” he said.

Frisina said while the Riordans are her

Jessica Frisina, on right, with her aunt kathy Bern, stepfather Bob riordan and stepbrother Matt, started team Apollo to raise funds for the American lung Association in the memory of her grandfather James riordan, on left, who is posing by a display of the lunar excursion Module used in Apollo 13. stepfamily, she considers them family all the same. Riordan said his father and stepdaughter hit it off as soon as they met when she was 7 years old.

“They took a liking to each other the first day they met,” Riordan said. “I always felt kind of emotional when those two were together.

He was the type of man that any children who came into his life just took to him — that’s just the type of guy he was.”

While joining the Fight for Air Climb was a last-minute decision in 2016, with only a few relatives being able to come out and cheer them on, this year she said almost a dozen family members came out to show support for her, Riordan, her stepbrother Matt Riordan and her aunt Kathy Bern, who traveled from North Carolina.

Frisina said she looks forward to participating in the event again next year and knows participation from the family will only continue to grow.

Her uncle Jim Riordan was on hand this year to show support. He said Frisina always had a great appreciation for his father.

“She is by every definition a grandchild in this family,” he said.

Bob Riordan said he was in better shape for this year’s event after finding out how difficult the climb was last year.

“The first time I did it, I thought I was going to join my father,” Riordan joked.

Frisina said climbing the 55 flights of stairs is supposed to simulate how it feels to have a lung ailment, and once you pass flight 10, it becomes more and more difficult to breathe.

“It initially feels amazing to complete something like that,” Frisina said. “But in reality, it makes you think as you’re doing it. [My grandfather] had to deal with this every day — feeling like this and overcoming walking and not being able to breathe. It makes you put yourself in somebody else’s shoes who’s dealing with it.”

North Shore Public Library passes budget Comsewogue library users vote in favor

By kevin redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com

Shoreham-Wading River and Rocky Point residents know what they’re looking for.

With 341 votes in favor and 62 against, North Shore Public Library’s approximate $3.5 million budget proposal was passed.

The 2017-18 budget, in compliance with a state-mandated cap on property tax levy increases, resulted in a zero percent increase from last year. In total, the budget is $259 less than last year’s.

Community members in the district also re-elected longtime library trustees Terry Cipriani, who is returning as vice president, and Virginia Ryan.

“I am so excited that the people of the community love their library so much,” Library Director Laura Hawrey said. “Everybody participates and attends our programs and has different interests and reasons for being here. We want to continue to be an active community center for all ages and meet everybody’s needs — we do our best to provide everything without any big tax increases.”

Hawrey said while a majority of the budget is devoted to salary and employee benefits, the money will also help continue and expand the library’s ongoing services and programs, like its weekend concert series and active children’s department.

north shore Public library’s 2017-18 budget passed, with 341 votes for and 62 against.

It will also help maintain the library’s wide variety of best-selling movies, music and books, and allow for continued free access to online media and resources.

Cipriani, who received 284 votes, has been on the board of trustees for two fiveyear terms, and will be entering her third.

Ryan, who received 297 votes, has previ-

ously served on the Friends of the Library and has also been a treasurer on the board.

Cipriani said she and Ryan love the library and have been avid participants since before they were members of the board. She said she wants to see all the great services continue.

“That’s what it’s all about to me, keeping the library going for the public,” Cipriani said.

Comsewogue Public Library passed its budget of about $5.5 million. With 102 yes to 14 no, the total operating budget, a 2.7 percent increase from last year, will cost homeowners $3.78 more for a $3,000 assessed house.

The budget increases are largely due to increases in staff salaries and benefits.

Additional money will go toward some furniture and equipment upgrades. The library will see a savings in the coming year in computer equipment and supplies, as well as in debt service payments.

Port Jefferson Station resident and library trustee Edward Wendol was reelected to remain in the position on the board he’s held since 1972.

“I’m very happy to be on it, and I’m happy to be elected continuously,” Wendol said in a phone interview. He added his primary objective in his next term is to move along a heating and air-conditioning plan for the library. “I think we’re a good asset to the community.”

Mount Sinai doctor drowns after fall off boat in Long Island Sound

By DeSIRée KeegAn Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com A Mount Sinai anesthesiologist has died after falling off a boat in the Long Island Sound April 15.

Milford Fire Rescue received a 911 call from a woman saying her husband, Richard Melucci, 43, had fallen overboard as they were boating on the Sound near Milford, Connecticut at about 6 p.m. Melucci’s wife, Maryann, was below the deck when she heard the splash, police said.

Police say Melucci, a 1991 Ward Melville graduate, was not wearing a life jacket when he fell into the water, so his wife attempted to throw a life ring out several times without success, according to Captain Keith Williams of the Connecticut State Police Department.

Milford’s dive team and the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the scene and rescued Melucci from the water about 55 minutes later, authorities said. Melucci and his wife were taken to Milford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

An avid boater, Melucci worked at Long Island Anesthesia Physicians in Rocky Point and was affiliated with John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson. He was on his new 25-foot vessel, which was taken to Milford Landing, where authorities are conducting a full investigation.

Reposing took place at O.B. Davis Funeral Homes, 4839 Nesconset Highway in Port Jefferson Station. Visitation was held April 19, and will be held today, April 20, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held April 21 at 10 a.m. at the chapel at

St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson. Interment to follow at Washington Memorial Park in Mount Sinai. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Rick Melucci Family Fund at https://www.gofundme.com/rick-meluccifamily-fund. As of press time, after two days, the GoFundMe page raised $76,425 of the $100,000 goal.

Yakub Gangat donated $1,000 to the fund, and left the message: “An outstanding clinician and leader. Fun loving with infectious personality. He’ll be forever missed.”

Jennifer Bednar, who donated $100, also wrote, “A devastating loss. I will miss that infectious smile. My whole heart goes out to Maryann and family.”

Teresa Schully Habacker left a similar sentiment with her $200 contribution. “What a loss for the medical community. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I will miss his competent care and his great sense of humor.”

Suffolk County Police arrested a man for driving while ability impaired by alcohol and drugs after he was rescued from his burning vehicle in Rocky Point April 12.

Corey Tierney was driving a 2003 Hyundai Sonata northbound on County Road 21, about one mile south of Route 25A, when he lost control of his vehicle, which crashed into a wooded area and caught fire. Passing mo-

torists, Claudio Gil and Margaret Ward, pulled an unconscious Tierney from the vehicle.

A Rocky Point Fire Department rescue team responded and administered Narcan to Tierney, 21, of Mount Sinai, who regained consciousness and was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. He was charged with driving while ability impaired by alcohol and drugs.

Gil, 30, of Mount Sinai, and Ward, 51, of Rocky Point, were not injured.

Matthew Christiansen, a Rocky Point High School student enrolled in the Computer Graphics and Arts Program at Islip Career Center and Bellport Academic Center at Patchogue-Medford High School, took first place in the SkillsUSA Area VI Pin Design Contest. Area VI comprises all of Long Island.

Over 100 SkillsUSA students from across Long Island submitted designs. Christiansen researched landmarks on Long Island and decided to base his design on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Bald Hill. In April, every Long Island student competing in the SkillsUSA State Competition in Syracuse will be wearing the pin designed by Christiansen.

Principal Pete Lepore, above, recently presented Christiansen, on right, with a Gold Medal for his first-place design.

The Miller Place High School Mock Trial Team topped Huntington in the first round of playoffs.

To prepare, participating students Ricky Abreu, Jonathan Beers, Ryan Holownia,

Justin O’Connor, Kristen Nappi, Sean Reagan, Lori Beth Sussman and Kristen Taylor conducted extensive research on legal precedent. Led by adviser Tom Moran, the team displayed jurisprudence competence, according to judges, at the Suffolk County Courthouse in Central Islip.

Big first half leads Wildcats to win over Comsewogue

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Don’t blink, or you might miss her.

Senior Sophia Triandafils won the opening two draws, and, off feeds from senior Sam Higgins, scored twice in the first 35 seconds, to propel Shoreham-Wading River to a 12-7 nonleague win over Comsewogue April 18 in a girls’ lacrosse tilt.

“We’ve been playing together since we were really tiny,” Triandafils said. “We’re always looking for each other on the field.”

Her teammate agreed that their strong bond is an asset.

Shoreham-WR 12 Comsewogue 7

“Over time we’ve just picked up on each other’s tendencies and she somehow always finds a way to get open for me, and vice versa,” said Higgins, who had one goal and four assists in the game. “I try to keep my feet moving and give quick passes. I also try to draw defenders by driving and that usually opens people up.”

Triandafils and sophomore Isabella Meli took advantage of early opportunities, and junior goalkeeper Gabby Cacciola made four key saves while the Wildcats built a 7-0 lead.

“Our transitions were great today,” Triandafils said. “No one was hesitating. We were really pushing it.”

By the time Comsewogue senior Jamie Fischer scored the first of her two goals with 8:21 left in the first half, Triandafils and Meli already each had hat tricks.

“This team is super, super athletic, they’re fast, they’re quick, they anticipate the next play, so the speed and agility is definitely something that puts us up on other teams — getting a jump on the draw, ground balls, even anticipating the slides defensively — and it helps us play a lot better,” Shoreham-Wading River head coach Brittany Davis said. “Last year we played Comsewogue and they really gave us a run for it, so I told the team to not underestimate them.”

By the end of the first half, the Wildcats (5-1) enjoyed a 10-2 advantage, with Meli scoring her fourth goal with a second left on the clock, but the Warriors (6-2) came out battling in the second.

“It takes a minute to wake up,” Comsewogue head coach Michelle Ceraso said. “But they only let up two goals in the second half.

They’re picking it up.”

Comsewogue kept the host team on defense through most of the 25 minutes, scoring three unanswered goals while ShorehamWading River struggled to keep possession.

“I think we became a bit complacent on offense, but our defense stayed strong and our goalie saved us a few times,” Higgins said. “I think it really exemplifies the strength our entire team has. Our speed definitely gives us an advantage in transition and riding. I think it forces the other teams to work harder and make them more tired, which we try to take advantage of.”

Cacciola made four big saves, two on Fischer, to preserve a dwindling lead. She finished the game with 12 saves, one short of her season high, while Triandafils’ and Meli’s four goals were season highs.

“We played a lot of defense in the second half, and I didn’t love it, but I think we learned a lot to take with us,” Davis said.

Her team is also learning that it can contend. After what Davis considered the program’s first real winning season, with an 11-3 Division II record last year, the only thing that stood in the Wildcats’ way was a tough Mount Sinai team. The Mustangs handed Shoreham-

Wading River two of its three losses, both by one goal in overtime — the second eliminated the team from county final contention.

This season, the Wildcats had to face the Mustangs early — in the first game of the season — where Shoreham-Wading River turned the tide to come away with the one-goal win.

“We’re finally starting to realize our potential and everyone’s filling into their roles,” Higgins said. “I think we have a real chance this year.”

Davis said she thinks success can get in her player’s heads, but it’s something they’re building upon. She said she thinks if the team, which returned all but two starters, can get over that and remain focused, they’ll be the team to beat.

New state scholarship program makes college more affordable

By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com Attending college will become a bit more manageable for many New Yorkers — especially for those in the middle class — after the state legislature passed the 2018 state budget, which included the Excelsior Scholarship, making New York home to the nation’s first accessible college program. The scholarship program, one that received full support from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), will provide free college page a26 tuition to students who qualify.

“With this budget, New York has the nation’s first accessible college program,” Cuomo said in a statement. “It’s a different model. Today, college is what high school was — it should always be an option even if you can’t afford it. The Excelsior Scholarship will make college accessible to thousands of working and middle class students and shows the difference that government can make.

There is no child who will go to sleep tonight and say, I have great dreams, but I don’t believe I’ll be able to get a college education because parents can’t afford it. With this program, every child will have the opportunity that education provides.”

According to the state’s website, there are potentially 940,000 middle-class families and individuals who can benefit from the program in New York. On Long Island, it is estimated there are 112,890 families with college-age students and 55.6 percent may be eligible.

To qualify for the Excelsior Scholarship, a student must be enrolled in a CUNY or SUNY two- or four-year college full-time, which is 30 credits or more, and complete their education within the allotted time. There is also a household federal adjusted gross income limit starting at $100,000 in the fall of 2017. In 2018 the limit will increase to $110,000 and will reach $125,00 in 2019.

The scholarship only covers tuition, and students are still required to pay room and board and any additional fees that the institution charges. Also, students who receive a need-based Pell Grant or New York Tuition Assistance Program grant must use these funds before receiving any money.

In Suffolk County, those who attend Stony Brook University or Suffolk County Community College may be able to take advantage of the new scholarship. Tuition for Stony Brook University costs $6,470 a year, while SCCC is $4,770. For those who live on campus at Stony Brook, the cost for rooming there can be approximately $8,090; however, costs can vary depending on housing options.

Like most scholarships, students will need to maintain a satisfactory grade point average; however, unlike other scholarships, after graduating from college, the student must sign a contract with the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation agreeing to remain working in the state for the same amount of years they received the scholarship. If a former award recipient does not remain in the state, the award will turn into a loan.

Representatives from local educational institutions said it’s still too early to predict how the scholarship will affect students.

“The story of the Excelsior Scholarship will be told once the program is fully implemented, and the impact measured,” Shaun McKay, SCCC president, said in an email. “We are hopeful that Excelsior will increase opportunity and accessibility for Suffolk’s students.”

Drew Biondo, director of communications at SCCC, said it can be difficult to predict the outcome of such a program. It is estimated at this point that 2,500 or less of 27,000 current students at SCCC will benefit from the program, even though he stressed that number was a rough estimate due to not having financial information on all students, only those who have filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form.

He said roughly 60 percent of students at the community college are enrolled part-time, which means they would be ineligible for the scholarship. While Excelsior may enable some to attend full-time in the future, there are others who due to childcare needs or work may not be able to increase the number of classes they take. There is also the potential of students deciding to attend a four-year school instead.

Lauren Sheprow, Stony Brook University’s media relations officer, said the NYS HESC is still working on eligibility guidelines. While there may not be numbers yet, university President Samuel Stanley believes it is a step in the right direction.

“The proposal is a good deal for family pocketbooks, and an

affirmative recognition of the academic excellence in New York public higher education,” Stanley said in a statement. “The visionary focus on both access and completion is positive for New York, for our students and for employers.”

State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) expressed concerns about the new program but at the same time has faith that it will work out well with some adjustments.

He said there may be cases where students may not be able to attend school full-time or consecutively due to sickness, a death in the family or if a class is simply not available.

“There’s no forgiveness of the human condition into the requirements, and I am concerned about it,” Englebright said “It’s a good idea conceptually. I’d like to see a little more flexibility built in that favors the enhancement of the student experience and makes the program less threatened to students should there be problems like the ones I described.”

A message from an organ donor

Stony Brook University students may benefit from the Excelsior Scholarship program.

Free ride or helping hand Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has announced that the Excelsior Scholarship program is included in the 2018 State Budget, providing residents who meet certain criteria free tuition at state colleges. But on closer look, this program doesn’t wipe away all costs of getting a higher education.

While the scholarship program provides free tuition, there are many costs it doesn’t cover, like additional fees, room and board, and textbooks, which combined can be as prohibitive a cost as tuition. In other words, it won’t be the free ride many might think it is when they hear “free tuition.”

Recipients must also meet several requirements, including attending a CUNY or SUNY school full time, completing degree requirements in two or four years and having a household income of less than $100,000 this year and less than $125,000 by 2019.

After college, students will be required to remain working in the state for as many years as they receive the funds. And while in school, students must maintain satisfactory grades to keep their tuition free.

Even if the scholarship covered all college costs, is an experience such as educating oneself ever free? Education is always an investment of valuable time and energy, and depending on the courses one takes, that investment of time and energy can be an enormous one.

While movies about fraternity or sorority members partying or running wild on campus may make for hilarious stories, in real life the majority of students can be found in lecture halls or in their dorm rooms studying for the next big exam.

Being forced to “rough it” is not a prerequisite for success in college or for appreciation of a high quality education.

The Excelsior Scholarship program will create more opportunities to provide students with the tools they need to achieve their future goals, no matter what he or she or their family’s financial situation may be. The cost of college has become a heavy burden on many of today’s families, and for many careers an education beyond high school is required.

Excelsior indicates something of superior quality. Let’s give our future students, no matter what their financial situation may be, the opportunity to afford an education of superior quality by lightening their load, even if it’s only a little lighter.

Last year, I was blessed with the opportunity to save a life, and what made it even more special was that it was the life of a friend I’ve known since we were teenagers. My story is not unique, but it’s one that I like to share with people to help increase awareness of the need for organ donors. All one has to do in order to understand is look at the numbers: • 25 million Americans have kidney disease.

• 475,000 Americans are on dialysis.

• More than 100,000 people are waiting list for a kidney transplant.

• There has been a 20 percent increase of people on the kidney transplant waiting list since 2005.

• Each year 5,000 people in the U.S. die waiting for a transplant.

My own experience as a kidney donor and the reality of these numbers are what led me to participate in the Rogosin Institute’s Organ Donation and Access to Transplantation Roundtable event.

As a councilwoman in the Town of Brookhaven, a large municipality of 500,000 residents located in central Long Island, I spend much of my time helping to improve the quality of life for people in the community. Each day, I meet with people to talk about a whole range of issues from potholes and barking dogs to land re-zoning, downtown revitalization and protecting the environment. Hardly life and death situations, but important nonetheless. So, when my husband John and I planned to meet my longtime friend, Tom D’Antonio and his wife Cheryl at the Huntington Lighthouse Festival in September 2015, I certainly was not expecting to begin a lifealtering journey that continues to this day.

Photo from Councilwoman Bonner

Jane Bonner, second from left, celebrates good health with Tom D’Antonio, right, and family members after donating a kidney.

Knowing Tom for over 40 years, I have been very familiar with his nearly lifelong struggle to control type 1 diabetes while living day-to-day with kidney disease. Even when he’s been faced with what appeared to be insurmountable odds, his spirit, optimism and determination have been inspiring. So much so that when he told me about his search for a kidney donor, I made a commitment right then and there to “share the spare” with my friend.

Gratefully, my husband John and my children provided their unwavering support for this very important, personal decision. Fast forward to April 2016 and I am recovering at New York Presbyterian-Weil Cornell Hospital, thankful that the transplant went off without a hitch. I was most happy to know that Tom was also recovering well after the surgery.

More than eight months later,

Tom and I are in good health, and we’re both back to work. He with his new kidney and me with a new appreciation of the challenges that face thousands of people in need of a healthy kidney before time runs out. By “sharing the spare,” I was able to save my friend’s life, and I thank the doctors and staff at the Rogosin Institute for being there for Tom and me. Their personal and community approach to research and care has improved the quality of life for patients and their families for more than 60 years, and now I am proud to be part of the Rogosin Institute family.

Paying for a trip to Disney takes it too far I would certainly appreciate your help in bringing this important information to the public.

I am outraged by what I have learned. I am a senior citizen who wants to remain in my home in Wading River if I can afford to. My school taxes make up more than half of what I pay, so when I hear how our tax dollars are being spent, I listen.

I heard that the ShorehamWading River school board meeting Sept. 6 approved this year’s 2017 senior trip to Disney World and we the tax payers paid for it — $150,000.

The senior center was buzzing with outrage. I inquired, and this is what I learned: Alan Meinster, an assistant superintendent, assisted in the planning of this trip, in which 167 students, 18 chaperones, the flights and rooms were paid for.

If you read the minutes from the meeting Sept 6, you will find that several students gave presentations regarding the educational benefits of this Disney trip. The board agreed that it had educational merits, and therefore funded it from our school budget.

Will the students come back

to the board and present their educational findings? I bet not.

Is this now a precedent? Will Shoreham-Wading River fund next year’s trip? I certainly hope not.

The public should be made aware of how the Shoreham-Wading River school board is spending our tax dollars. None of the other schools in our area — Rocky Point, Miller Place, Mount Sinai — have had their school boards pay for their seniors’ trips.

I feel that this is going too far.

OpiniOn The unplanned birth of a surprising new product

ave you seen it? In the pace at which we live our lives, it’s possible you missed it. I was at the drugstore recently and I saw it on the side of a box. It took a moment to process. How often does a product surprise you?

It had the potential to be a “you got your chocolate in my peanut butter” moment. When I was younger, my older brother, or No. 1 son as he’s been described on these pages for decades, used to

choke down even the ones that were spectacular failures because he didn’t want to waste food, and because who knew at what point a displeasing food might become an acquired taste? After all, how many people remember their first sip of beer? Did it tickle their taste buds or did they want to find water or a soda to wash it down?

So, back at the drugstore, I scratched my unshaven chin — I was buying razors to remedy that problem — when the image on the side of a box diverted my attention from important thoughts: How much longer would this take? Would I meet my deadlines?

Was I supposed to wash some missioncritical clothing last night for some must-win game today?

As I looked at that image, I could imagine the moment Igor came up with the idea. There he was at a barbecue. With his acquired-taste beer a few inches from his left hip, he surveyed the food on his overloaded plate. He had a thick cheeseburger on

a sesame seed bun, half sour pickles, an enormous mound of sauteed onions and mushrooms, coleslaw, and several Pringles sitting next to his burger. Igor works for Pringles and he won’t attend any picnic without bringing his favorite curved chip. The burger was on its way to his mouth when he realized he was missing something. He stood up to kiss his sister-in-law, maneuvered around his nephew who was bouncing a pink ball against the steps, and he and his burger arrived safely at the condiment table. On Igor’s way back to his beer, the pink ball rolled underfoot, causing him to turn his ankle and mix up the contents of the plate.

He hobbled to his spot and surveyed the damage to his food. His ankle could wait. Igor, like my brother, pressed on. He sighed at his precious Pringles. They were broken into tiny pieces, which was no fault of the distinctive packaging, and they looked like they’d been through a battle. They were covered in ketchup. Did he dare

throw out the Pringles, he wondered, as he sipped his acquired-taste beer?

No, his loyalty to a product that paid for his mortgage and his three Jeeps ran too deep to toss even a single chip.

Igor found the small part of a chip not smothered in ketchup and brought it to his mouth. Aware that every eye was on him, he nodded slowly, as if the taste was something extraordinary.

“Well,” his brother said, trying to be helpful, “why not, right? We put ketchup on French fries, which are also made from potatoes, right?”

Was it a weakness or a strength on Igor’s part that made him insist this was an inevitable combination that would become a must-have item for July Fourth barbecues? I suppose it’s up to us to decide whether ketchup-flavored potato chips are the next peanut butter cup.

If they are, maybe Pringles can edit a Seinfeld clip where George Costanza double-dips his chip into a bowl of ketchup?
