Kindess rocks
Northport High School’s Virtual Enterprise class recently pledged to participate in the Kindness Rocks Project. This national movement encourages people to beautify rocks with inspiring and encouraging messages to leave along the path of life. Students painted rocks with phrases such as “You are unique,” “Spread the love” and “You can never dream too big.” They plan to leave them in common areas outside the high school as well as around the community. Northport’s virtual enterprise firm, Port Pride, is participating in this project as a part of the class’ social responsibility initiative, which reinforces the idea that corporations should balance profit-making with efforts that benefit society.
“Sometimes the smallest gestures can make a big impact,” student Rachel Ricciuti said. The classes teach students to become business professionals by bringing the workplace into the classroom. Some of those enrolled in the class, taught by Kristen Cogan, vocalized how much they value the unique niche the class fills in their education. “This class takes you out of the ‘norm’ of high school and puts you in an experience-based setting where we learn to be truly good civil servants,” student Will Lober said. “We’re given the opportunity to learn how to make a difference, and it’s such an invaluable experience.” Pictured above, David Avallone, Sarah Pitfick, Riccuti and Lober helped spread the love.

Centerport
Huntington takes proactive steps to protect Mill Pond BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
Town of Huntington officials have decided to calm the fears of Centerport residents over potential water contamination that could harm and scare off local wildlife, particularly their beloved American bald eagles. Dom Spada, deputy director of the town’s Maritime Services, said a 300-foot-long soft boom was installed Feb. 13 along the waterfront near the former Thatched Cottage site on Route 25A, which is currently under construction to become Water’s Edge. “We did this at the request of the people from Centerport,” he said. “We’ll take a proactive approach and put the boom out to protect the water. We do not feel there’s contamination coming from the construction site.” The barrier is an oil-absorbent sock made of cellular fiber, approximately 8-inches in diameter, and is usually used for containing and absorbing oil-based spills, according to Spada. It will float along the top of the water and soak in lubricants and fuels without absorbing any water. It cost the town approximately $2,000 plus labor for five men needed to install it. Over the last three weeks, Centerport residents have filed a series of complaints with
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the town expressing concerns that construction debris and stormwater runoff after heavy rains could be contaminating the harbor. Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) sat down Feb. 8 with Centerport residents including Tom Knight, co-president of Centerport Harbor Civic Association, and Rob Schwartz, founder of Bald Eagles of Centerport Facebook group, to discuss and address these concerns and other proposed developments including a 7-Eleven. “I am really happy, happily surprised,” Schwartz said. “I appreciate how much they took our concerns to heart.” On Feb. 1, Huntington’s building division received a new complaint forwarded from Suffolk County’s Department of Health Services alleging that asbestos runoff was entering the pond, according to town spokeswoman Lauren Lembo. The town told residents in the Feb. 8 meeting the county had tested the water then informed Steve Kiewra, the town’s building permits coordinator, in a phone conversation there was no evidence of asbestos runoff. Grace Kelly-McGovern, spokeswoman for Suffolk’s DHS, said Division of Environmental Quality employees did visit the site Feb. 1 to collect water samples from Mill Pond directly

behind the former Thatched Cottage. The water will be analyzed by the county’s Public & Environmental Health Laboratory for a number of chemicals and contaminants including pesticides, metals including lead, fecal coliform bacteria, inorganic compounds, nitrogen and phosphorus. The results may take up to six weeks. While county employees have been frequent contact with town staff in recent weeks, according to Kelly-McGovern, the results are still out as to whether or not Mill Pond has been contaminated from any source.
“Yes, our staff has been in touch with the town staff, but did not claim any testing results,” she said. New York State DEC visited the site Feb. 5 and found the Water’s Edge in full compliance with state regulations. Enrico Scarda, managing partner of The Crest Group constructing Water’s Edge, said his company, in full cooperation with state DEC guidelines, has sealed all manhole covers on the property and installed silt fencing with hay bales in an effort to prevent stormwater runoff from entering the pond.

Commack
Hundreds give gift of life in remembrance of Commack officer BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Hundreds lined up and waited to donate blood during the 9th annual Glen Ciano Blood Drive Feb. 9. The event, hosted by the Commack Fire Department and Suffolk County Police Department, is held in honor of a police officer and volunteer firefighter who died in the line of duty 10 years ago this month. Ciano, who served for more than 20 years as a police officer at the 2nd Precinct in Huntington, died while assisting another officer at a traffic stop Feb. 22, 2009. While at the intersection of Vanderbilt Motor Parkway and Commack Road in Commack, his vehicle was struck by a 2007 Dodge Magnum and burst into flames upon hitting a nearby telephone pole. Commack firefighters responded to the scene. Ciano is survived by his wife, Sue, and two children, Samantha and Daniel. “The Suffolk A woman takes part in the 9th annual Glen Ciano blood drive at Commack Fire Department Feb. 9. Police Department Photo by David Luces will never forget Glen and the dedicated service he provided to our communities,” Suffolk Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said. “Though I didn’t have the honor of working alongside Glen — I’ve heard stories about the type of officer he was and his presence is missed to this day.” Since 2011, a total of 1,084 donations have been accepted in Ciano’s honor, according to the New York Blood Center. These pints of blood have helped save the lives of more than 3,000 people, Yadira Navarro, business development manager for the blood center, said. Due to unstable winter temperatures, the flu season and other challenges, blood donations Saturday were vital as the NY Blood Center said it’s in the midst of an emergency blood appeal, according to Navarro. Before the blood drive, the center’s blood had only enough pints in the storage to get through three to four days of standard operations — a healthy blood supply level is about 6 to 7 days. “You are honoring such a wonderful officer who really served his community and this is one way where we can be a hero and save lives,” Navarro said. Patrick Fazio, commissioner of the Commack Fire Department, said there’s no better way to honor Ciano’s life than donating blood. Smithtown resident Brian Moore who was among the hundreds who showed up Saturday, said giving blood can help so many lives. A total of 234 pints of blood were donated at this year’s event, exceeding last year’s number of donations at 222. “Every year it means a little more,” said Ciano’s wife, Sue. “I see friends, family — I meet new people every year.” Sue Ciano said she stays at the blood drive for the whole day, talking to as many people as she can, and says events like these means her husband won’t be forgotten.

County
John Kennedy Jr. throws hat in the ring for county executive BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Less than a month ago, Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) was still debating whether he would run this year for Suffolk County executive. On Feb. 11, Kennedy stood shoulder to shoulder with other top Republican leaders to announce his running for the top county office. “None of us forgets who we work for, and that’s the taxpayer,” Kennedy said. “We will stop the hemorrhaging, stop the bleeding. We will cut up the credit cards, start to pay our debts and bring life back to Suffolk County.” Kennedy, along with other Republicans, has been consistent in attacking county Executive Steve Bellone (R) for the current state of the county’s finances, pointing to a drop in bond rating from A3 to Baa1 on the Moody Rating Scale since 2015. In a Jan. 31 article by TBR News Media, Eric Naughton, Suffolk’s budget director, said while the county’s bond rating has dropped, Kennedy was “overstating” the impact. He went on to say Moody’s, which gives the bond grades to municipalities, was only looking at the past and not the future. Kennedy has called for a 90-day top to bottom look at the county’s offices to see which ones can be pruned, which employees can be shuffled around and what belts can be tightened. He also called for an end to excessive spending, while cutting county fees and reducing the size of
State
the county’s red light camera program. He said he was especially concerned with delays in payment to public employees and to contractors. “We don’t pay our daycare providers on time, we don’t pay anybody on time,” the comptroller said. “We make them all our bank.” John Jay LaValle, the Suffolk County Republican committee chairman, said during a phone interview the party is throwing its weight behind the current county comptroller. So far two other Republicans have announced their candidacy, including Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga). LaValle said former police officer Larry Zacarese, who previously ran for Suffolk County sheriff in 2017, was also considering running on the Republican ticket. The Republican committee chairman said he would ask the current candidates to sit down and work out their differences, saying a primary could do damage to the party’s chance to win. “If we do a primary, we give the executive seat to Bellone,” LaValle said. Kennedy announced his plan to run for office at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge, surrounded by U.S. Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Peter King (R-Seaford), along with many other elected Republicans. King ran again for his position alongside Kennedy in the 2018 electoral season. “He ran us all into the ground — I’ve never seen a harder working campaigner,” King said. Trotta said during a phone interview he would be willing to sit down with Kennedy and
the Republican leadership, potentially to drop his candidacy if he agrees with what he hears. “I welcome John Kennedy to the race, this is what democracy is all about, and no one knows more than John about what a financial mess the Bellone administration has created,” Trotta said. Kennedy has worked in public office for years, working with current Brookhaven town supervisor Ed Romaine (R) when he was county Suffolk Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) with his wife, Legislator Leslie Kennedy clerk before being elect- (R-Nesconset).

He then later ran for and was elected to the Suffolk in their pockets,” Zeldin said during Kennedy’s County comptroller position in 2014, boasting campaign announcement. Kennedy was also joined by his wife, Legisat the time he was vastly outspent by his oppolator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset), who is runnent on the campaign trail. Bellone’s office came out the gate swinging ning again this year for re-election. Both husband and wife said partially it took so long for him to as Kennedy’s candidacy was announced. “No one has opposed government reform or announce his candidacy because of the concern voted to increase spending and debt more than one’s campaign fight could affect the other’s. “It was a weighing process for both of us,” John Kennedy,” said Bellone spokesperson Legislator Kennedy said. “It’s about what he Jason Elan in a press release. “Under [Bellone’s] watch, I have seen red can do to make it better here so that everybody light cameras pop up over intersection after can afford to stay.”
NYS legislators take steps to protect coastal waters from offshore drilling BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM State legislators are trying to ensure the federal government doesn’t murk up New York’s coastal waters. Both the New York State Assembly and Senate passed legislation Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 to prohibit oil and natural gas drilling in New York’s coastal areas. The legislative action comes a year after hundreds of Long Island residents attended a public hearing at the William H. Rogers Legislature Building in Smithtown to voice concerns relating to discussions on the federal level over potential drilling in the Atlantic Ocean. The bill now awaits the signature of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket), the Assembly environmental conservation committee chair, was one of the legislators who hosted last year’s Smithtown hearing. The assemblyman said in a statement those who attended the hearing unanimously
condemned the federal government’s proposal to drill for oil and gas in open waters. “This legislation will safeguard our water and shores from the dangers of fossil fuel exploration and drilling, and will support our efforts to move our state toward cleaner and renewable energy sources,” Englebright said. The legislation would prohibit the use of state-owned underwater coastal lands for oil and natural gas drilling; prevent the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Office of General Services from authorizing leases which would increase oil or natural gas production from federal waters; and prohibit the development of infrastructure associated with exploration, development or production of oil or natural gas from New York’s coastal waters, according to a press release from Englebright’s office. The new legislation will reaffirm the state’s coastal management practices to ensure the protection of endangered and threatened species, along with tourism and recreational and commercial fishing industries, according
to Englebright. “Our largest industry in New York, and especially in coastal New York, is tourism,” Englebright said. “Oil and gas exploration is incompatible with tourism. We’ve seen the kinds of mistakes that have occurred in other parts of the world where oil and gas exploration near recreation areas and near active fisheries has occurred. We don’t want those kinds of chaos to descend upon our economy or our state.” The legislation updates New York State laws that are decades old, according to a press release from state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport). “Offshore drilling is the single largest threat to the sustainability of Long Island’s environment,” Gaughran said in a statement. “I am proud that under [Senate] Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins [D-Yonkers], New York State is moving toward protecting our natural resources and banning senseless proposals to drill off our beautiful coast.” State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who was the original lead sponsor of the legislation in the state Senate, said he urges the
governor to sign the bill. “We have painstakingly worked to preserve and protect our pristine waters, and we certainly do not want to imperil all of our efforts to maintain clean water by allowing drilling off our shoreline,” LaValle said. Kevin McAllister, founding president of Sag Harbor-based nonprofit Defend H2O, said restricting oil and gas exploration off the coast is important as the drilling for fossil fuels negatively impacts the environment. He said it’s critical for states along the entire Eastern Seaboard to follow suit, and he urges Cuomo to enlist coastal solidarity. “If rising seas, ocean acidification, killer floods aren’t sobering enough, don’t overlook a legacy of regret with oil extraction and transport,” he said. “Santa Barbara oil spill, Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon all inflicted massive damages to the marine and the coastal environment over thousands of square miles. In the oil industry, accidents happen. The best way to prevent another catastrophe is to close the door on further exploration.”

Commack custodian arrested for illegal guns, drugs in home BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County police officers arrested a man who works as an evening custodian for the Commack School District after a search found he had a stash of illegal guns and drugs inside his Patchogue home. Patrick Musumeci, 30, was arrested Feb. 6 by police officers and faces 24 drug- and weapons-related charges. Following an investigation, Suffolk’s 5th Squad Special Operations Team and Emergency Section Service officers along with 5th Precinct Gang Unit officers executed a search warrant on Musumeci’s home on Wilmarth Avenue at approximately 5:35 a.m. In the raid, officers found 16 guns inside the Patchogue home, including one Glock semiautomatic handgun, a Taurus semiautomatic handgun and four assault rifles, with ammunition. Two of the guns, a Smith & Wesson pistol and Ruger pistol had both previously been reported stolen. In addition to the guns, officers seized five sets of brass knuckles and a switchblade. In addition to the weapons, Suffolk County police officers seized quantities of both prescription opiates and illegal drugs from the Patchogue home. The drugs found included oxycodone, Xanax, concentrated cannabis, marijuana, morphine pills and packaging materials. Musumeci is charged with three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, six counts of criminal possession in the seventh degree, two counts of criminal use of drug paraphernalia in the second degree, criminal possession of marijuana in the fourth degree, five counts criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, four counts criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree and one count of grand larceny in the fourth degree. Commack school officials reacted to news of Musumeci’s arrest by posting a letter to district residents on its website. “The district has found no evidence to date that he ever brought a weapon or drugs onto school property,” reads the district’s statement.

“To date, we have not found any suspicious activity on school property.” Prior to being hired, Musumeci was fingerprinted and underwent a background check by New York State, according to the district. He was cleared, and state law would have required the district to be notified of any subsequent arrests, of which they claim to have received none.

Suffolk officials plan forum to discuss legalized marijuana BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County is seeking public community input as New York state inches closer to potentially becoming the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana use. The county Legislature, with both the Health and Public Safety committees, will hold a public hearing Monday, Feb. 25, at 6:30 p.m., where members of the community are invited to share their thoughts on the potential impact of legalized cannabis. “[There are] so many considerations that surround legalizing recreational marijuana,” Legislature Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) said in a press release. “This is a new industry that will impact society at every level.” Though acknowledging that legalization could potentially bring revenue to the county, Gregory is more concerned of how legislation of marijuana could empower the black market. He said he is in favor of the continued decriminalization of marijuana, pointing to studies that show minorities are more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than others.

William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport), said he agrees with Gregory on decriminalization of marijuana and said it is important to inform the public on this issue. “We have to do our due diligence,” Spencer said. “There are a lot of logistical issues and
concerns we have to address.” Gregory said the legislators are entering uncharted territory and want to make sure they hear all sides of the issue and explore all angles. They also want to be prepared should this matter come before the county Legislature.
“It is important for the sake of regional consistency that, if possible, local governments have a unified approach, and in that spirit I look forward to hearing from our residents and local leaders,” the presiding officer said. “For decades it was drilled into [people’s] heads that this is bad.” Spencer said he is personally against the legalization of recreational marijuana, reasoning there should be a significant amount of time given over preparedness for something like this. He added despite the significant impact legalization would have on the county, it could also have unforeseen consequences, especially concerning both hard and soft drug use. “We are in the middle of an opioid addiction crisis and we have seen a rise in vaping in young people,” he said. Spencer is also concerned about people driving under the influence of marijuana. “This is new territory, it will have an impact on many people’s lives,” Spencer said. “It’s important that we as a community understand this and are prepared.” The hearing will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the county Legislature’s William H. Rogers Building, located at 725 Veterans Memorial Highway in Smithtown.

North Shore wrestlers win big BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Area wrestlers once again rose to the occasion and racked up some hardware as a result. Thirteen North Shore wrestlers placed first or second, 15 third or fourth and another 13 fifth or sixth at the Division I Suffolk County championships at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood Feb. 9-10. And it was Hauppauge’s junior class that stole the show. Luke Smith (113 pounds), Danny Mauriello (152) and Michael Tyrell (182) all placed first to help the Eagles to the team title and Bill Knapp award. Mauriello, who won his match against Kings Park senior Stefan Major with a 5-3 decision, was named the Jack Mahoney Champion of Champions. Sophomore Chris Boudreau (138) placed third for Hauppauge; freshman Mikey Manta (99) and sophomore Andrew Maiorini (113) placed fourth; and junior Anthony Dibartolo (132) placed fifth. Rocky Point was next in line with five count
placers, highlighted by junior 132-pound Logan Sciotto’s pin of Islip’s Sean Peterson at 2:41 for the county crown. Senior Corey Connolly also made it to the finals, and dropped a 3-0 decision to Copiague’s Paul Illicete at 170 pounds. Junior Evan Matias (120) and senior Kris Ketchum (145) finished third, and senior Justin Amendola (113) placed fifth. Commack, Kings Park, Newfield, Smithtown West and Ward Melville each had four wrestlers place. Commack senior Joey Slackman, who pinned his 285 opponent London Castillo of Brentwood in 36 seconds, had the most pins in the least amount of time, taking down four wrestlers in 3:22. Miller Place got three grapplers to the podium, Centereach and Huntington had two placers, and Harborfields and Northport each had one. Clockwise from above, Hauppauge’s Mauriello holding his trophy; Kings Park’s Major gets a hold of his opponent; and Northport’s Peter Magliocco wrestled his way to the finals in his weight class.

Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you’ll find rustic exteriors and shel-tered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Fr ank Lloyd Wr ight, this style can be house boxy or low-slung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape C od homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straight-edge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rect-angular design and second floor bedrooms.
Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian’s classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt.
Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Vi ctorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry dene the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian Wi th paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty.
Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door.

Watch the SC executive race
Suffolk County’s newest elected officials have taken their oaths of office in recent weeks, and some are still learning the ropes of their new office. But now, voters need to shrug off any remaining 2018 election season fatigue. County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) formally announced his campaign to take on incumbent County Executive Steve Bellone (D) for the county’s top office. Kennedy already faces a challenge from county Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) who’s made it no secret he wants to take charge, while his fellow Republican party member Larry Zacarese is watching and waiting in the wings. The state’s Jan. 18 voting reform bills have already brought out a wealth of contenders for the 2019 county executive race, as the legislation pushed the state’s primary elections from September up to June. This effectively lengthens the campaign season by three months. For the sake of voters, we hope all candidates will use these additional months to talk about critical issues — not make it an extended political slugfest. This year’s county executive race is critical. Our next leader faces a never-ending series of challenges to ensure this part of Long Island remains a safe, affordable place we’re still proud to call home. The county’s financial status is delicate. One party cries we face fiscal ruin if spending patterns continue while the other claims despite sinking bond ratings, the future will be brighter. Everyone knows taxes are high, wages haven’t kept up with inflation and Suffolk’s cost of living already ranks among the highest in the nation. Our future county executive needs to be ready to tighten down, cut costs and keep life affordable. Key to that will be a successful negotiation of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association’s contract that pays the salary of our police officers. It is one of the biggest pieces of the county’s annual budget and it’s on the table — how much taxpayers dig into their pockets will depend on a successful contract. Not to mention many of the county’s other employee unions need new contracts at reasonable and fair rates as well. Both parties agree that a focus on infrastructure and securing economic growth will help to ensure the area’s future success and stem the “brain drain,” or the droves of the 20- and 30-year-olds leaving Long Island to keep their hopes of the American Dream alive. How to best do it is a matter for debate that should be addressed by all candidates. We’d also like to see promises kept to existing projects, some of which have been decades in the making, such as Wading River-Port Jefferson Rails to Trails and its commitment to help push forward with sewers in Kings Park. A lot of important tasks will fall to whoever wins the 2019 county executive race, so we encourage Suffolk residents to extensively question all candidates and demand concrete answers. Don’t settle for vague promises without a plan for execution. To the candidates, don’t let this dissolve into negative campaigning, name calling and bullying. We expect you to have an open-door policy and intelligent discourse of your future plans, if elected. You are expected to rise to the challenge before you, not mire Suffolk in a cesspool of negativity.

Letters to the editor
We need to unify regardless of belief To everyone who watched the State of the Union address Feb. 5. I’m not going to mention my own political beliefs now. My beliefs are not worth the price of progression for both parties. We need to unify regardless of belief. No matter what your political beliefs are, the speech addressed all of us. Our Republican president, Mr. Donald Trump, has offered his hand to Democrats for negotiation. He has asked both parties to set aside our political agendas and work on uniting ourselves. Republicans, please join Mr. Trump. Offer your hand out to Democrats. Listen to their worries and priorities. And, Democrats, please approach and offer your hand back. Listen to Republicans’ worries and priorities.
Everybody, seize the opportunity to join negotiation. You are only hurting yourself by closing yourself off. If we are going to make changes, no party deserves to be left behind. Prepare for aggravating and vehement debates, but also prepare for change, even if it comes in the form of the smallest step. We must all negotiate in order to make a step — even a small one — together. One step marched with the consent of an entire country is worth more than one million steps marched with the consent of only one party or one sector or one person. The country’s life is currently in our hands. We must never use this speech as a form of attack against either party. If we attack, then we will have squandered the current
gentle environment set before us for negotiation. It’s time for us to step forward and prove that we are not aggressors, especially not toward our own country’s people. We are Americans. We must prioritize the well-being of our country over the well-being of our political party. Don’t hesitate to listen and understand opposing opinions. Most importantly, don’t be afraid of change. Listen. Feel. Think. The last thing we need is political banter. It’s time to come together and negotiate. Even if our efforts only result in one step forward, that step forward will be important enough to shake the world. Gabrielle Pegg 11th grade Newfield High School
Rhetoric flies in the face of Jewish values Recently, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) spent his time attacking Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in a series of Twitter posts that received national media coverage. Instead of doing the work he was (narrowly) elected to do by the constituents of NY1, our representative was engaging in Twitter attacks that betray the character of our district, the issues we face and the Jewish values Lee Zeldin claims to stand for. In one of the exchanges on Twitter, Zeldin said the following to Omar: “Those poor innocent Isis fighters and Palestinian terrorists,” as if to characterize this Muslim congresswoman as someone who condones violence, simply by religious association. Zeldin seems to have forgotten that he represents a diverse district and has Muslim constituents who should not be characterized with such hateful rhetoric. For Zeldin to initiate this sort of attack on a colleague that he admits he’s never personally spoken to is a slap in the face to the diverse constituency of NY1. This sort of rhetoric also flies in the face of the Jewish values that Zeldin claims to stand for. While he may take
issue with Omar’s views, as Jews, we are taught to engage in meaningful dialogue. In the Jewish books of the Talmud and Mishnah, there are countless discussions between scholars on passages, with rabbis arguing over the finer points of the law. This is what our faith teaches us, to think, to question, to dissect. Our faith teaches us to welcome the stranger, to respect those who think differently than we do, even when we disagree. When one of only two Jewish House Republicans rejects that intellectual rigor to attack a Muslim colleague, he rejects our Jewish values and does not represent our faith. This entire exchange was not in the best interest of constituents in the district. We are facing serious economic issues. Federal workers are reeling from the recent shutdown and fearing the next deadline to keep the government open. Zeldin voted against reopening the government on numerous bills. He also voted against H.Res.77: Expressing the sense of Congress that financial institutions and other companies should work proactively with their customers affected by the shutdown of the federal government who may be facing short-term financial
hardship and long-term damage to their creditworthiness through no fault of their own. And, he voted against H.Res.79: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that government shutdowns are detrimental to the nation and should not occur. This past shutdown was painful for many constituents in the district and, with these votes, Zeldin is disregarding that deep economic and emotional pain. Additionally, many of us are currently in enormous shock over filing our taxes and owing money for the first time, thanks to the loss of our SALT deductions due to the Trump tax plan. Zeldin has done nothing to attempt to ease this or repeal the tax plan, despite the enormous burden on his constituents. These are challenging times. We need a leader with the intellectual rigor, discipline and morality to lead a diverse constituency. We need a leader who can unite this district rather than divide it. In his rhetoric and votes this past week, Congressman Lee Zeldin has once again shown that he is not qualified to provide that leadership for NY1. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Raising the bar beyond good enough
W
e’ve all had moments when we wonder: Is this good enough? The answer depends, in part, on the importance of the outcome. If we’re a cardiac surgeon and we have our hands inside the chest of someone who needs a new valve or stent, good enough doesn’t cut it. We need to make absolutely sure we’ve done everything we can D. None because no one of the above wants to open up BY DANIEL DUNAIEF someone’s chest a second time to correct a small error or to retrieve something we should have removed. If we’re driving a car on a slippery road, a
turn that’s good enough on a sunny day may not be sufficient in the rain or on ice. We may need to slow down enough that we don’t need to hit the brakes as we head into the turn. Those are, of course, more extreme examples. Fortunately, most of us live in a world where what we do doesn’t seem so critical. We might be writing a paper about Shakespeare, filing legal briefs, collecting receipts for tax purposes or shoveling snow from our driveway. Each of those tasks, in and of themselves, may not seem to require our best because we have better things to do, we want to get through the class, or we’re tired and we need to give ourselves a rest. Nonetheless, the smaller efforts can, and do, add up. When we’re shoveling snow, good enough might miss a slick patch of ice that our wife or best friend might slip on while they’re walking to the car. Going beyond good enough could prevent the discomfort or injury from falling. Even an essay about Shakespeare may
require us to think more deeply about what it means to be in love. Down the road, that might help when we’re considering ways to express our admiration or appreciation of a partner, giving us wisdom and words beyond our years. Great words boost the power of our sentiments, just as the sight of a whale breaching transforms a trip to the beach into a memorable outing. Of course, operating at full strength or beyond good enough for everything may be so physically and mentally draining that we might spend too much time on activities we consider trivial, leaving us with fewer resources to tackle bigger challenges. So, how do we determine the difference between an activity that requires us to be good enough and another responsibility that mandates something more? For starters, we may not be capable of more than a few extraordinary efforts in a day. That may be a product of how much sleep we get, how much we can control in our day or how we
feel, especially if we’re battling a head cold or some chronic condition. Keeping ourselves healthy and making sure we have enough energy can and will give us the ability to vault us over the good-enough threshold. Good enough can become a habit, just like so many other efforts. We can run a mile every other day or we can go a bit farther each time. We may find that good enough for others, or even for former versions of ourselves, is just a start. We may raise the bar for the expectations we set for ourselves to the point where good enough today is so much better than earlier efforts. Routine or even mundane activities likely don’t require perfect performance. Doing them well, or even beyond “good enough,” keeps us sharp and focused for our more important tasks and also sets a good example for our children, who are watching and listening. We can and will improve our lives when we decide to raise our own expectations for good enough.
