New trail hub south of Rocky Point Pine Barrens By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com A day when Montauk and New York City are connected across Long Island by bike trails might not be too far off. On Sept. 22, the Department of Environmental Conservation celebrated the completion of a piece of the Rocky Point Pine Barrens State Forest Multi-Use Trail Hub Project. The project is an effort to connect trail systems across Rocky Point, Ridge, Yaphank and Shirley. The entire trail system, when completed, will pass through the DEC’s Pine Barrens, Suffolk County and Town of Brookhaven parkland, and end in the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge. The new trail hub can be found on the north side of Middle Country Road in Ridge, between Wading River Road and Woodlot Road. “The completion of this trail hub is an instrumental step in the effort to connect Long Island’s trail systems,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “The multiple features of this hub will allow local residents and visitors, young and old, and of any ability, to take advantage of Long Island’s stunning natural diversity.” The new hub, located on the south end of the Rocky Point Pine Barrens State Forest, is expected to be one of the central public access spots for the new trail system. It features a car and horse trailer parking lot, a newly built half-mile Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible hiking trail, an

accessible horse mounting platform, and a half-mile connector to an existing horse and hiking trail. “I am fortunate to represent one of the most beautiful regions of New York State,” Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) said. “As the sponsor of the legislation that created the Pine Barrens Preserve, I am pleased that we are creating an opportunity for more individuals to access the trails. The ADA-accessibility will enable those with mobility issues to enjoy more of Long Island’s natural beauty firsthand.” Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) also commended the DEC for its work with the ADA. “It’s very important that all residents get the opportunity to share in the natural beauty that surrounds us and we must do whatever we can to preserve it for generations to come,” he said. The project began in October 2014, with funding from NY Works, and was completed in June for a total cost of $460,000. The trail hub is located on the property of the former Lustgarten Nursery in Ridge. In April, the DEC worked with Students Taking Action for Tomorrow’s Environment, which is affiliated with Avalon Park and Preserve in Stony Brook, in an Arbor Day reforestation effort. The student volunteers planted 250 seedlings of native-New York tree species. “The new trail hub is about connecting people with nature and making it easier to get out and explore Long Island’s treasure of trails and the beautiful wildlands they

The DEC acquired the 274-acre site in 1996 from Baier Lustgarten. It was the site of Baier Lustgarten Farms and Nursery, which used the acreage to plant nursery stock, including native and non-native trees, shrubs and ornamentals. Several neglected structures were razed from the property, including a house, a barn, greenhouses and cottages for farm hands.

“The new multi-use trail hub is a wonderful community centerpiece that gives residents greater access to enjoy the beautiful Rocky Point Pine Barrens,” Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said. “The new hub connects several communities and allows for hiking, horseback riding and bike riding. The DEC has done a wonderful job in creating this very important greenway park that will truly make a difference as we experience our spectacular outdoor environment.”

The Cote family is overwhelmed. After Glen, a Gulf War veteran, and Renée found out they would be receiving a new home for veterans in Miller Place, they got a phone call that $10,000 of the proceeds from Joe Cognitore’s VFW Fischer/Hewins Post 6249 ninth annual Veterans of Foreign Wars Rocky Point Post 6249 golf outing at Willow Creek Golf & Country Club in Mount Sinai, on Sept. 26, will go toward their new home. “People keep asking us about the process with the house,” Renée Cote said. “I’m still trying to absorb everything — and then we get a call about this — there’s so much love here and to be on the receiving end of that, it’s a blessing.” The Cotes have been through several hardships, from Renée Cote being diagnosed with a rare and painful metabolic disorder called acute intermittent porphyria, which requires expensive biweekly treatments that she has undergone for 14 years at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital, to her 7-year-old son Zachary being diagnosed with Grade 4 medulloblastoma, brain cancer, in 2014. Most recently, the family was told they were being kicked out of their home because the landlord had let the rental fall into foreclosure. “It’s awesome to see this much love for somebody from out of town like myself, that they don’t know, it’s incredible,” Glen Cote, who’s from Texas, said. “Everyone is so supportive and friendly.” The family recently met with Cognitore, Rocky Point’s post commander, for the first time when Landmark Property owner and developer Mark Baisch chose the family to receive the 11th home for returning veterans. The two are still looking for a family for the 12th home. “It’s a good feeling, especially given their circumstances,” Cognitore said of helping the family. “We’ve been doing things over the phone, and it helped me while I was in the hospital. I felt very good. It was a big relief to know that we’re helping this family out.” The Cotes said they’ve begun meeting their new neighbors and community members and they’re excited to make the move. Their previous rental home was in Sound Beach. “They are the nicest people,” Renée Cote

said. “I like the fact that — because, we kind of stalked the house — they came out and they were saying hello to us, they’ve been in the community for 30 to 40 years, they were very welcoming and we’re excited. I’m excited to have little BBQs with them and stuff like that.” At the golf outing, where more than 160 golfers hit the course to help support veterans, Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) and Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) came out to meet the family and commend Cognitore and Baisch for all of their work helping local veterans. “They are literally warriors to those that need help,” Anker said. “They get out there, they understand the struggles and they’re there to help, and that’s what’s so important. When Mark heard about Zachary Cote’s situation, he came to the rescue, and talk about superheroes, they are our local superheroes.” LaValle was glad to see that Zachary would be able to remain in the Miller Place school district, which was most important to his family. “It all comes together very, very nicely,” he said. “We can’t do enough for our veterans to say thank you, and this is one of many ways that we can appreciate their service that they have made to our country.” Renée Cote said she is also teaching her son to give back, and said she feels thank you will never be enough. “I could sit there and write a million thank you cards, and to me, it would not be enough for what they’re doing,” she said. “And I don’t even think they realize what they’re doing. To first serve our country, and then to give back — and I mean give back in a huge way — it’s good to be surrounded by people like that. They’re angels walking the Earth.”

History

Old LIRR luggage tags from Miller Place are a rare find By Edna GiffEn Pieces of history are everywhere. In June 2016, Marty Randall donated a set of luggage tags to the Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society. Randall, who received the tags from his great-uncle Melville Warner, of Miller Place, was born and raised in Mount Sinai but currently lives in Tennessee. The luggage tags in the photo on the right are made of brass and were intended for use on the Long Island Rail Road by the American Railway Company of New York. The larger of the tags reads “34th Street to Millers Place via L.I.R.R. 58104.” On the reverse side, it reads “Miller’s Place to 34th Street via L.I.R.R. 58104.” The smaller tag, reads “34th Street and Millers Place via L.I.R.R. 58104” on one side, and “In consideration of free carriage of baggage its value is agreed to be limited to one hundred dollars,” on the other. In 1894, the LIRR extended the Port Jefferson branch to Wading River, with expectations to continue further east to rejoin the main line. Miller’s Place had the first station east of Port Jefferson. The station was built on the north side of the tracks, east of Sylvan Avenue and

south of Echo Avenue. A fire in 1903 destroyed the station, and a new one was built in 1904. In 1934, this second structure was destroyed by fire. Although Miller’s Place had its share of visitors during the 1700s and 1800s, the railroad opened the area up to many more tourists looking for a place away from the heat and smells of New York City. Many Miller’s Place and Mount Sinai homeowners took in boarders to supplement the household income. One place, the Holiday House, became a destination for many girls working in the factories of New York City to come and spend two weeks in the country. Luggage was placed in the baggage car — so individual identification of bags was crucial. Rows of two tags would be hanging on a board behind the station agent, and each pair of tags had a matching number. When a customer arrived at 34th Street station, the larger tag was attached to the bag, and the smaller one given to the customer. Upon arrival at Miller’s Place, the customer could retrieve the luggage by showing the smaller tag. The tags were not always surrendered, but the customer kept them both and used them when returning

to New York. In 1894 the apostrophe “s” was dropped from Miller’s Place by the Postal Service; however, the LIRR kept the apostrophe “s” on its newly made brass luggage tags. The Wading River section of the railroad was busiest from the 1890s to 1910s. Ridership fell off as more people came to their summer places by automobile. The Holiday House girls still used the railroad, but even they had to find alternate transportation to Miller Place in 1917. In that year, the railroad announced there would be no summer timetable. It was the first time in years that there was no service. Residents and business people were concerned about the effect of this action. In June 1924, the station was opened and an agent assigned. In 1932, the Public Service Commission was to have hearings on the request of the railroad to discontinue service to Wading River. The local residents and business people were concerned that the discontinuing of rail service would have a negative impact on the development of the local area. Service had been poor for several years, and in 1928, steam trains had been replaced by gasolinepowered engines that propelled a car and carried passengers in half the car and freight in the other. It was not an

After several delays and hearings, the LIRR abandoned the Wading River section of the Port Jefferson branch in 1939. Bob Myers, of the Railroad Museum in Riverhead, was shown the pair of tags. He has not seen luggage tags for any of the stations on the Wading River section of the railroad, and a pair of tags with matching numbers is even rarer. Not much is left of the Wading River branch. Postcards show the sta-

tion, and photographs of the tracks and station exist. The right-of-way for the tracks now contains the towers of the Long Island Power Authority. The pair of tags, which is a rare piece of long forgotten history of Miller Place, will be on display at the Comsewogue Library for the month of October.

Clockwise from above, some of the scarier masks at Ronjo Magic & Costumes in Port Jefferson Station; Ron Diamond of Ronjo Magic & Costumes, Long Island’s last-surviving magic store; and some of the “sexy” Halloween costumes.

Long Island’s last magic shop won’t disappear anytime soon By Dave Paone Port Jefferson Station is able to make a claim no other place on Long Island can: It’s home to the last brick-and-mortar magic store in all of Nassau and Suffolk County. Ronjo Magic & Costumes on Route 112 is the last of its breed, yet doesn’t look as if it’ll be performing a disappearing act anytime soon. The 2,000 square-foot store is stocked with magic trick pieces, novelty items, costumes and a room for performances. The costume articles include wigs, masks and an extensive line of hats that hang from the ceiling. The novelty section is small, but contains the usual gags, like exploding cigarettes, hand buzzers, itching powder and the obligatory rubber chickens. Last month, Hope Galasso, of Bellport, discovered Ronjo through a Google search and brought her 15-year-old nephew Zack Galasso to the store to purchase a Chinese coin trick for $7. While Halloween is the bread-and-butter season for costume sales, it’s not the

only time they’re in demand. Last year, 19-year-old Suffolk County Community College student Christine Day came into the store with her brother and a friend. The trio was preparing to attend Comic Con, a convention for comics, graphic novels, anime, video games, toys and movies, in New York City. Her brother was dressing as Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and her friend was dressing as Beetlejuice. The three of them needed makeup. Owner Ron Diamond provided them with just what they needed. “We looked great,” Day said. She also said Diamond was “really helpful” and “inviting,” so when he offered her a part-time job at the store, she took it. Currently she handles data entry, shipment of online orders, and works the counter for costumes and makeup. Diamond’s lifelong interest in magic began in 1966 when his mother bought him a magic kit called Box-o-Magic for $3 at Billy Blake’s department store in Setauket. Then 8 years old, Diamond said the box con-

tained just a handful of tricks, but enough to get him started. Diamond continued to learn tricks, but with no magic store nearby, he resorted to learning new illusions from library books, and by age 12, even started to handcraft his own tricks with the help of a classmate. Diamond got the itch to perform. So at 13, he recruited a girl named Joanne from down the block to play the part of his onstage assistant. He wanted to give Joanne top billing, and name the act Joron, but his sister, Deborah, said he should call it Ronjo, so he did. Ronjo’s first public performances were free for local charities in Suffolk. Since the two performers were only in eighth grade, his mother had to drive them to wherever they were performing. Eventually, the charity work led to paying gigs. Their first was at a birthday party for a 6-year-old, where they made $6. Diamond kept $4, and paid Joanne $2. A year later, Diamond became more polished and added new tricks to the act, and with it, the price of a show jumped to $35. The clients from the first job called to book him again, but when he told them the new rate, they hung up. At 15, he thought he could make additional money by giving lessons and selling magic tricks in a retail setting. He talked one of the merchants at the Old Town Village indoor flea market in Setauket into letting him rent space in his booth, where he set up a 2 feet by 4 feet showcase with 12 tricks for sale. The retail locations kept changing, and with each move, got bigger. Diamond added more showcases with more tricks for sale, and eventually landed his own 13 feet by 100 feet store at the Arcade Shopping Center in Port Jefferson Station at 16 years old. He stayed there for 14 years.

As the years went on, Diamond became a professional magician, but Joanne was no longer in the act, because her father wanted her to get a “real job.” By 1982, he had a crew working for him, including, at times, a driver, a stagehand and other performers including a sword swallower, belly dancer and disc jockey. On occasion, customers in his store would ask for wigs, makeup and costumes. Since he never says no to a customer, he’d get whatever items they were looking for. In 1991, Diamond hired Pete Albertson, who was one of his students, to manage the store. He’s been there for 25 years. Diamond purchased his current location in 2000. When Magic Shop in Hicksville closed three years ago, Ronjo became the last surviving magic store on Long Island. The storefront acquired a little slice of cyberspace and joined the internet in 2003. The website saw tremendous growth over a five-year period, which peaked in 2008, almost to the point where physical store was no longer needed. But all that changed when more and more retailers began selling online, and cyber sales dropped considerably. Now, there are “more websites than customers,” he said. On the magic side, Ronjo’s customers range from the loyal to the new. Mike Maimone of Port Jefferson Station has been purchasing tricks from Ronjo since he was 12. He’s now 48. He owns nearly 350 decks of cards — each for a different illusion — plus 250 other items for tricks. More than half of them were purchased at Ronjo. The uncertainty of operating a shop that sells exclusively what amount to nonessential items looms over Diamond and his business, but for now, Long Island’s only magic store is still here. “Everything here is a luxury,” he said.

When Magic Shop in Hicksville closed three years ago, Ronjo Magic & Costumes in Port Jefferson Station became the last magic shop on Long Island.

PAGE A10 • THE VILLAGE BEACON RECORD • SEPTEMBER 29, 2016

An inside look at the presidential debate on LI By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com A historic political event, which carried what felt like an unprecedented level of uncertainty, took place close to home Sept. 26. Hofstra University was the place to be, as thousands of reporters, protestors, students and politicians flocked to the Hempstead campus to witness a debate featuring the first female presidential nominee of a major political party in United States history and one of the most powerful businessmen in the world. Hillary Clinton (D) and Donald Trump (R) were the main attraction, but there was so much more to be seen and heard on campus in the hours leading up to show time. Major news outlets from all over the world covered the event. The scene was already buzzing around 10 a.m. Businesses set up booths to hand out free debate gear, and MSNBC, Fox News and CNN were already warming up their outdoor stages for a full day of coverage. Some students carried signs with Clinton and Trump’s name, while others raised humorous, homemade signs with messages like “Mom, please come pick me up, I’m scared.” Freshmen to seniors visited the photo booths and interview stands set up, and seemed enthused and excited to be a part of the historic day. One of the more popular activities of the day was an inflatable, replica White House for students to jump around in. In the early morning it lit up the parking lot and seemed like a spot students would enjoy a carefree few minutes after the stations focused on national issues were seen. But soon enough, the inflatable White House became a backdrop for a serious scene. Dozens of #BlackLivesMatter supporters stood silently arm in arm, in front of the White House. Observers around the area were silent as well. It was a reminder early on that this debate was not just an exciting event, but also would spur a serious conversation about the state of America, and how it we will be led into the future. Bernard Coles, a senior at Hofstra, said he wasn’t confident the issues important to #BlackLivesMatter supporters would come up at the debate.

clockwise from above, #BlackLivesMatter supporters silently stand with their hands up during a television broadcast on campus sept. 26; a student smiles while donning a ‘Make america Great again’ hat; students cheer and hold up clinton Kaine signs; a man dressed in a polar bear costume talks climate change in the free speech tent. “We’ve been talking nonstop about Brangelina for the past week so I’m not very optimistic about it coming up but I hope so,” he said in an interview. He also said he feels Clinton best represents the #BlackLivesMatter cause. “I feel a thousand times more confident in the direction Hillary Clinton would take the country. She’s been trying to listen to us and support us and represent us for decades and I don’t understand why people are forgetting that.” Although #BlackLivesMatter was not directly referenced Monday night, moderator Lester Holt asked a question entirely focused on race relations. Both candidates talked about solutions they have proposed to help improve the criminal justice system, while also touching on their personal relationships with ethnic communities. About a half-mile from the center point of campus was the free speech tent, an area heavily guarded by police where supporters of lesser-known presidential candidates Jill Stein (G) and Gary Jonhson (L) protested their exclusion from the event. Entrance to the free speech tent required passage through a metal detector and a search of belongings. Officers on horseback lined the street, and at the tent, a man dressed in a polar bear costume spoke out on global warming, and an “election frog” croaked “Rig it, rig it.” Chris Roy, a Stein supporter, said it was a disgrace that she was not allowed into the debate arena. “I’m thoroughly disgusted and disturbed and furious,” Roy said in an interview. He questioned why two parties are allowed to make the rules for other minor parties, and said Trump and Clinton should be speaking up to allow the other candidates in. “She [Stein] is the only one that is in the trenches fighting with the people,” he said. “They’re [Clinton and Trump] both just totally corrupt. They don’t speak out for open debates, which is awful. When you turn on the television all you see is Hillary and Trump.”

Stein has been the presidential nominee for the Green Party for the last two debates, and was escorted off the premises Monday after reportedly failing to present the necessary credentials. Like Stein, Johnson is not new to the presidential campaign circuit. He has been the Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate for the last two elections. Both candidates have been vocal about being denied the opportunity to debate. Neither reached the 15-percent polling threshold on national surveys needed by the Commission on Presidential Debates to qualify. Hofstra students throughout campus donned “Make America Great Again” hats and “I’m With Her” pins, and at the end of the night everyone argued over which candidate had the most success. After leaving the scene of the debate, and walking out of what felt like a bunker, it seemed like all issues discussed during the day had been forgotten and all that mattered was Clinton and Trump’s performances. Hofstra’s campus gave a voice to more

than just the typical election season rhetoric, and helped remind a reporter like me that this election season is about so much more than just the two candidates who stood on the stage for 90 minutes.

The donation honors Dow for winning the PGA TOUR Volunteer Challenge at The Barclays golf tournament held at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale.

The PGA TOUR Volunteer Challenge raises funds for charity while recognizing the talent, passion and commitment of more than 100,000 annual PGA TOUR tournament volunteers nationwide who dedicate time to helping tournaments raise funds for local charities. Dow served as a course marshal at The Barclays in his first year volunteering, where he provided gallery control, assisted in player movement, helped to locate errant golf shots and helped spectators.

Miller Place High School was recognized by New York State Public High School Athletic Association as a Scholar-Athlete School for each of its varsity teams earning a grade point average of 90 percent or higher during the 2015-2016 school year. With a total of 794 members of NYSPHAA, Miller Place was one of only 32 school districts to be distinguished for excellent grades. “This award is a true testament to the diligence and dedication of each of our studentathletes and coaches of Miller Place,” said Miller Place Superintendent Marianne F. Cartisano. “Our high school students should be proud of the great decisions they are making to become successful students on and off the field and future well-rounded adults upon graduation.” At the end of each sports season, NYSPHAA seeks to distinguish scholar-athlete teams whose players excel both on the field and in the classroom. In order to be considered for the award, varsity team players must receive a 90 percent from 75 percent of its players or more. Seven of Miller Place High School’s varsity teams were awarded, including the baseball, boys’ lacrosse, boys’ tennis, softball and both the boys’ and girls’ track and field teams. The girls’ lacrosse team held a grade point average of 97.09 percent, the highest

Your College Future

Skills, not college major, determine success Your turn

BY RYan DeVito The knowledge economy doesn’t care about your college major. Modern success starts with skills and develops through the continued application of a web of knowledge. Anthony Boucher never let his choice of majors determine his potential for career success. I first met Anthony at Newark Airport, at the start of a recruiting trip that included stops in Connecticut and Massachusetts. We were recruiting students for High Point University, where I worked as an admissions counselor. Anthony was a student volunteer. While my primary responsibility was to drive hundreds of miles and greet hundreds of students, Anthony was tasked with coordinating the logistics of eight large-scale wine-and-dine events. Our experience on the road together made me sure that Anthony would land on his feet

after graduation. With a double major in electronic media and vocal performance, it would be Anthony’s outstanding communication skills that would separate him from the field. That he also managed to lead the university’s a cappella group, the Toccatatones, while growing their national reputation, was just another feather in his proverbial cap. When we caught up earlier this month, Anthony had moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, and quickly landed a position selling new homes. This was a natural fit for Anthony: He had spent his college summers working as a real estate agent at home on Long Island. Real estate sales might not seem to be the obvious career choice for a communications and music major. The field is changing, though, and technology has become integral to the sales process. Walk-through videos, once a perk reserved for luxury real estate, are found on more listings than ever before. Anthony has produced some of those videos. He thinks that the field is evolving in such a way that his electronic media background will become a major asset. He’s looking forward to being able to apply his skills in new ways. Anthony is always looking ahead. While thrilled to be using his skills to sell new homes in the Charlotte area, he believes that the future is full of other opportunities. A career in digital marketing may well follow this stint in real estate. To Anthony, every step he takes is just another opportunity to hone his skills.

Where you choose to learn and intern can have a significant effect on your success. Sometimes a fine arts major is a red flag for parents. Naturally fearful for their child’s future success, they prefer “safer” majors like business administration or engineering. But the world is changing, and Anthony is proving it. His majors — while not professionally inclined — were invitations for him to develop the talents needed to succeed in any field. Employers consistently cite communication, problem-solving and teamwork as the skills they desire in job applicants. Anthony used his four years in college to develop these, just like his passions for media and music. After four days of traveling together on our recruiting trip, it was apparent that Anthony

had maximized his experience at High Point University. Now, he is maximizing his experience in a new city filled with opportunities. Anthony has found a fulfilling job in a new place where opportunity abounds. It was the intangibles — the skills you can only develop outside of the classroom — that gave Anthony an edge in the job market. And any person, with any college major, can meet with similar success if they have the right skills.

Clockwise from left, Mount sinai’s Brooke Cergol and shoreham-Wading river’s alex Kuhnle race for the ball; Mount sinai’s Caiya schuster makes a save against shoreham-Wading river’s nicky Constant; and Lydia Kessel sends the ball into play after making a stop.

Route 25A rivals come up scoreless for second tie By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com All Lydia Kessel was thinking in the final seconds of overtime is that she couldn’t let Mount Sinai score. The Shoreham-Wading River junior goalkeeper wanted action, but received almost more than she could handle. A cluster of frenzied girls squeezed between the six and 18-yard line, and that made it difficult to get a hand on the ball. “It was like a game of Pong,” she said of the final frantic moments of the Sept. 27 match. “It was just touches — the ball was going back and forth and the only thing going through my head is that I had to get the ball. If I could get the ball, I could get it out and we can get through the last 10 seconds. I did not want to lose in the last 10 seconds.” Kessel eventually muscled her way to the ball, although she missed it on the first grab and left a Mount Sinai player with an open net. She threw herself on top of the loose ball, scooped it up and tossed it away to escape with the 0-0 draw for her Wildcats and the Mustangs after two 10-minute overtime sessions. “They’re a much more physical team,” Shoreham-Wading River head coach Adrian Gilmore said of Mount Sinai. “But we played a hard game. [Mount Sinai] plays a lot in the air, which is different from the way we play, since we play more to feet. I feel like any time we play them, anything could happen, because they’re so physical.” Mount Sinai controlled the game for the first few minutes and showed that toughness, but Shoreham-Wading River pushed

Mount Sinai 0 Shoreham-WR 0

right back, and came up with back-to-back chances at a goal, the first of which went off the right post. After the two teams tied 2-2 Sept. 8, Mount Sinai head coach Courtney Leonard expected much of the same the second time around. “I thought something like this would occur,” she said. “Shoreham — their personnel, our personnel are very evenly matched. They had chances and we had them. They had an unfortunate post in the beginning of the game that could’ve gone in and we had some opportunities in the middle of the net with nobody there that we should’ve gotten. But I thought we did a great job.” Shoreham-Wading River senior outside midfielder Alex Kuhnle had several opportunities to help her team put one away in the second half. First, she attempted a fake from 25 yards out, but Mount Sinai’s junior goalkeeper Caiya Schuster saved her shot. Later, sophomore striker Nicky Constant, took a pass from senior midfielder Sarah Stietzle, but the touch was too soft. Kuhnle also tried to set up Constant twice, but Schuster saved the first, and although the second attempt went in, an offside call waved off the goal. Another shot went in within a five-minute span, but offside was called again. Schuster made 10 big saves on the evening to keep her team in the game. “Mount Sinai is always a tough team to go up against,” Kuhnle said. “They always come out strong, and I think that we reacted well. We were just unlucky with our shots. We had a lot of opportunities, so that’s a good thing, but moving on, we need to work on finishing.” Despite junior sweeper Samantha Higgins being forced to leave the game with a foot injury, Shoreham-Wading River’s defense held

its own. Kessel made a save with 5:54 left in regulation, one of her five for the game. “It was a tough battle, but we all helped,” Mount Sinai sophomore midfielder and forward Brooke Cergol said. “We focused on covering their top players, attacking and looking outside; we just really wanted to score and win this game.” Gilmore said having Kessel, a three-year varsity starter, in goal helped her feel more comfortable about the matchup. “I think having her in the back is such a dangerous weapon,” she said. “My assistant coach [Brian Ferguson] thinks it was one of the best games he’s seen her play. I expect her to do what she does, and it’s a nice feeling.”

With the draw, both teams move to 4-12 in League VI. It is the last time the two rivals — that are just miles from each other down Route 25A — are scheduled to battle this season, but it certainly may not be the last time they face off. Kuhnle said if they see each other again in the postseason, her team will be ready. “There’s a ton of talent on this team and we can go as far as we want to go if everyone comes together and plays hard,” she said. “This will help fuel a fire for playoffs and show us what we have to work on, so maybe we’ll focus a little more in practice to improve. I’m not disappointed with our performance though; we just got unlucky.”

Rhetoric and voting records are two different things Photo by Victoria Espinoza

Hofstra University hosts the first presidential debate, but factchecking of candidates’ claims should have gone on long before.

Real time fact-checking A growing trend this election season amongst newspapers, politics-centric websites, pollsters and even candidates is to fact-check claims made by presidential hopefuls or their litany of staffers during speeches, debates and other public forums in real time. In theory, that makes perfect sense. Candidates should be taken to task for false claims they make in public when attempting to appeal to voters. During the first presidential debate, Sept. 26 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump, each took turns making statements and accusations that were later proven false by the army of fact-checkers listening closely. Trump asserted that the stop-and-frisk policy did wonders for crime rates in New York City during its short-lived run. Fact-checks by the Associated Press, the Washington Post and CNN yielded no proof of stop-and-frisk impacting crime rates. Trump accused Clinton of “flip-flopping” her position on The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a global trade deal, which she initially supported and referred to as “the gold standard.” The same cast of fact-checking characters nabbed Clinton for switching positions in the debate aftermath. Fact-checking during and immediately following the first presidential debate was a useful tool for American voters. However, if checking facts were this important throughout the primary process, it’s possible Americans might be choosing from a different slate of candidates Nov. 8. Our editorial staff wonders how much of an effect fact-checking has on voters. How many Trump and Clinton supporters heard their candidate say something that was later proved false, and actually started reflecting on if that mattered to them? Fact-checking is important, and it’s great that so many media outlets are devoting resources to it. It’s part of what separates news organizations from the rest of the social media storm that ensues during and after major events. We hope the increase in fact-checking doesn’t fall on deaf-ears, and voters take notice of when their candidates are proven wrong.

When you look at the local newspapers in Suffolk County about what Lee Zeldin is supposed to have done for Long Islanders, especially for his constituents in the 1st Congressional District, a very different impression emerges when you actually study his voting record. By contrast, his challenger in the upcoming elections, Anna Throne-Holst, has a solid record in the areas of job creation and the environment. Zeldin is reputed to have done a lot for job creation in Suffolk County. This is very misleading. What passes for helping job creation — when you look at the voting records — actually has nothing to do with jobs. The Administrative Procedure Act, which Zeldin voted in favor of, actually loosens regulations on business. Zeldin would probably say the bill reducing regulations helps the American worker. Wrong. It helps agencies to make commercial decisions, which may or may not be for the American worker. Republicans have been traditionally for reduc-

ing governmental regulations in business, so that business flows uninterrupted and business owners make profits. When businessmen profit, other people get jobs, or so many Republicans believe. This type of “trickle down” subsidy benefits the ordinary person looking for work only minimally, and not very often. Another bill that Zeldin has voted along party lines amends the Administrative Procedure Act, another bill to reduce governmental interference in business. Once again, the bill does not increase business, per se. The American Workers Act purports to increase the mandatory working hours for a full-time worker from 30 to 40 hours in order to qualify for health insurance. But for the ordinary person, when he or she sees the title — American Workers Act — thinks it has to do with jobs. It actually enables the employer not to pay medical insurance to employees. Finally, we need to look at Lee Zeldin’s voting record with the environment. I read in May

that Zeldin, as a congressman, has voted time and again, to protect Long Island’s pristine nature and its rich natural resources. His voting records do not support this claim. He has voted eight times on environmental issues. Each time, except once, he has voted to reduce the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget. I think 1st Congressional District constituents should look carefully at both the candidates vying for election to Congress. Anna, as the town supervisor of Southampton, has brought in jobs for policemen and started day-care centers and alternative schools for children. She has helped the elderly and has worked to preserve wide stretches of Long Island’s land. She helped found the Center for Clean Water Technology, housed at Stony Brook University. The election is less than 50 days away. Let the voters know what the facts are before they vote.

Anker: Eliminating bus route isn’t the answer I am writing in opposition to the proposed discontinuation of the 5A bus route in the Town of Brookhaven. I fully understand that Suffolk County is faced with a difficult financial situation, but in an effort to fill a widening budget gap, I do not believe that it is in the interest of Suffolk County to cut this core service, which would deny residents access to basic transportation. I believe that it is Suffolk’s obligation to provide affordable, equitable and accessible mass transportation to all residents throughout the county. The 5A bus route serves a corridor where service cuts will

cause real hardship, including the entire hamlet of Sound Beach and three large senior communities in Ridge that include Leisure Village, Leisure Knoll and Leisure Glen. Elimination of the 5A route would cut off the entire community of Sound Beach and deny them any access to public transportation. The cuts will also inequitably affect the Leisure communities where seniors on a fixed income, and without alternate modes of transportation, would be effectively isolated and denied their independence. The 5A bus route also provides transportation to two large shopping centers in the 6th Legislative District,

where local business owners who are already struggling will feel the economic impact of the cuts. I am requesting the county Department of Public Works and Suffolk County Transit modify the existing routes to strike a balance between total elimination and cost reduction. Suffolk County should restructure the existing routes to provide for greater efficiency. I do not support the bus service cuts without a transitional period to offer alternatives to transportation needs.

opinion Urging teachers to sharpen their communication skills

I

t’s time to raise the bar on communication skills for teachers. I realize there are sensational educators who inspire a cadre of young minds each year. There are also plenty of teachers who are weak communicators, whose work wouldn’t stand up to their own liberal use of the red pen and who have their own rules of grammar that defy any style book. That seems especially problematic, particularly for language arts teachers who are, presumably, By Daniel Dunaief not only educating our sons and daughters about how to read and analyze text, but are also helping them develop their writing style and voice. The do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I-do ap-

D. None of the above

proach may, unwittingly, be preparing students for the unfair world where merit doesn’t count as much as other factors, like connections. I’m not sure that’s really the lesson we want to teach or the subtext we want to share during these formative years. I’d like to ask a favor of teachers: Please read your instructions before you give them to your students. You can shape the assignment the way you’d like: asking questions about identity, seeking to understand the perspective of the author, asking for an analysis of the tone of the piece. But please, please, please read over your directions before printing them out, sending them to students or sharing them with parents. It’s not OK for your writing to read like the assembly instructions for a child’s toy. I know it will take a few more moments and I know that you’re not particularly well paid, but please remember your mission and the difficulty of a double standard. Children can sense hypocrisy quicker than a shark can

smell blood in the water. I realize these missives filled with misdirections may provide a lesson unto themselves. Students may learn that nobody is perfect. While that may be true, are the teachers — who provide confusing directions, who send out assignments rife with poor grammar and misspellings, or who casually make the kinds of mistakes for which they would take major deductions — comfortable enough with themselves and their position to provide students with the opportunity to correct them? Ideally, learning isn’t just about hearing things, memorizing them, spitting them back out during a test and forgetting them within a week of an exam. As teachers say so often when they meet parents, they want their students to learn to think for themselves and to question the world around them. If that’s the case, then let’s not pay lip service to those missions. Let’s add a corollary to that and suggest that how teachers communicate is as important as what they communicate.

Let’s also encourage students to ask teachers why their instructions include particular words or employ specific phrases. I recall, many years ago, the first time one of my more self-assured teachers silenced a room when he said, in his booming baritone, “I stand corrected.” The rest of us didn’t know whether to cheer for the boy who challenged him or to duck, worried that a temper tantrum with flying chalk — remember chalk? — might follow. Maybe schools should hire an editor who can read the instructions to kids and emails to parents. Or, if the budget doesn’t allow a single extra employee, maybe they can engage in the same kind of peer review they utilize in their classrooms. Ideally, students and teachers can seize the opportunity to learn and improve every year. Teachers create an assignment and then reuse it the next year. If the assignment is unclear, or the directions flawed, the teacher should do his or her homework and revise it. All I ask is that teachers lead by example.

The best of the best of Broadway musicals, for free

I

f you have had enough of politics and pundits this week, come with me for a nostalgic trip through the golden age of Broadway musicals. I was carried back to those heady days of the 1950s by a recent New York Times article about the lost art of sneaking in for the second act, impossible today due to post-9/11 security. Now I don’t know if you have ever By Leah S. Dunaief indulged in this type of larcenous activity, so I will explain how it worked — at least for me and my merry little band. I attended junior high and high school at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. The subway was right at the corner of our Gothicstyle building. This is important

information for you to know in order to follow our exploits. The other bit of vital info is that our school day officially ended each afternoon at 2 p.m., rather than the usual 3 p.m. for the rest of the schools under the New York City Board of Education’s auspices. Shortly after I started in seventh grade, I fell in with a happy group of kids who lived across town, on the Upper West Side. While that was decades away from what we know today as the highly cultured and worldly UWS, nonetheless these kids were a lot more culturally savvy than I was. Every Wednesday, which is of course matinee day, they would slip out of our last class some 15 minutes early, slither quietly through the side door of the school and make a beeline for the subway stairs 20 feet away. Somehow I came to be included in this precocious group. We would ride the local to 59th Street, descend to the lowest level of the station, which in those days housed the BMT line, ride it through Midtown to 49th Street and Broadway and arrive at the predetermined show of our

choice just as intermission was ending and the smokers were returning to their seats for the second act. No one ever checked the tickets for the second act in those days. And there were always empty seats sprinkled throughout the theater that we claimed for our own. If the real seat owner arrived, most often the usher would help us find another seat since it was fairly common practice for young people to move closer to the stage in those days if there was opportunity. I doubt the ushers realized they were helping scofflaws. In this way, I saw some of the most famous plays with their original casts during what turned out to be the most memorable period of American musical theater. Of course I didn’t know that then, I just knew I was having a fine old time and we didn’t even have to pay the subway fare because we had student passes. Of course I never told my parents what we were doing every Wednesday afternoon, and somehow we never got caught leaving school early. Perhaps the faculty understood

where we were going and thought it more important than the last 15 minutes of classes. But my parents may have wondered from time to time because I seemed too knowledgeable about the current musicals, their actors and composers. There were the Rodgers and Hammerstein classics: “Oklahoma!,” “Carousel,” “The King and I,” “South Pacific” and “The Sound of Music” (the latter two with Mary Martin); Frank Loesser and his “Guys and Dolls,” “The Music Man,” “West Side Story” and Chita Rivera; Ethel Merman, Gertrude Lawrence, Yul Brynner, Gene Kelly and Gwen Verdon; Irving Berlin and Cole Porter — they were all in my world. And then there was the best of the best, its eloquence, melody, intelligence and heart standing at the head of those magnificent musicals, Lerner and Loewe’s “My Fair Lady.” I can still hear the music, with its clever lyrics, playing in my head. Led by Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews, it was the longest running show on Broadway for years thereafter. And we saw them all — at least by half.
