While more than 30,000 students participated in the center’s annual talent search, Lucas was one of 1,175 students chosen, qualifying him for “challenging

Sarah Anker secures seat Incumbent legislator bests challenger by 17 votes By Desirée Keegan

Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker has won back her seat after a hard-fought battle that began on Election Day, when the polls closed with her leading her challenger by only one vote. After absentee ballots were counted, the 6th District legislator expanded her lead to 17 votes, ending a race last Thursday that had originally been projected to drag through Thanksgiving. “It’s been a very intense race,” Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said. “I’ve had so many people come up to me, claiming that they were that one vote, and I am greatly appreciative and thankful that my supporters did go out there and vote. The bottom line is that every single vote counts.” First-time Republican challenger Steve Tricarico, a deputy superintendent for the Town of Brookhaven Highway Department, said although the results were not what he preferred, he would continue to be a voice in his community. “This is a great civics lesson,” he said. “We ran a good race, a clean race, an honest race, and I’m just glad that a lot of the positions that we took throughout the campaign have gotten out there. I grew up here, I live here, I’m raising my family

here in the 6th District and I will continue to be an advocate for those issues that I feel are most important to the residents.” Tricarico said he called Anker to congratulate her and wish her luck in her new two-year term, but also said he voiced his desire for the incumbent to think about some of the issues he focused on in his campaign, such as the local cost of living and public safety. Anker will start her sixth year in office in January, in an area that frequently elects candidates from the opposite party — 6th District voters have consistently supported Conservative Councilwoman Jane Bonner for Brookhaven Town Board and Anker’s predecessor was Republican Dan Losquadro, who vacated his seat to become a state assemblyman and then later the town highway superintendent. “People ask me why I put myself through the stress to run a very competitive campaign, and my answer would be because I love to help people, and I want to continue to do that job; people underestimate what I can do and what I can get done,” Anker said. “I think during the counting of the absentee votes, the GOP was quite surprised. They expected to win a number of votes over in the senior community, but I gained a lot of support there

because I worked really hard in that area to help them with their problems and to help them with concerns and issues.” Tricarico said he is back to focusing on his job at the highway department, and that with results showing that nearly half of the people in the 6th District are looking for change, he will not be closing the door on a future run. Joking that she will be taking some much-needed time off, Anker said she is also ready to move forward with projects she’s been working on, such as those geared toward keeping young professionals on Long Island by erecting affordable

housing and connecting college graduates with local jobs. In focusing on public safety, Anker has been working with Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson to address drug addiction on the North Shore. “Even though this race was very close, it still shows that people are happy with the job that I’m doing and they’re willing to jump the party line,” Anker said. “I make sure I’m inclusive of a lot of ideas. I’m transparent. I think my ability to stay focused on the goal of helping people and trying to resolve problems has elevated me above the fray.”

Deep-fried Photo from Brookhaven Town

A fireball erupts during a demonstration on the dangers of deep-frying a turkey in hot oil.

Brookhaven Town officials held a fiery presentation on Nov. 20 to demonstrate the dangers of deep-frying a turkey in hot oil. According to a press release from the town, the trend is a growing one that is responsible for several deaths and dozens of injuries every year. The hot oil can splash or spill, causing severe burns. “The fireball that we saw during the demonstration clearly showed how the improper use of turkey fryers can lead to personal injury and the destruction of property,” Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said in a statement. “I hope that people who use deep fryers follow all the manufacturer’s safety instructions and keep a fire extinguisher handy.”

Romaine and the town’s chief fire marshal, Chris Mehrman, held the demonstration on the Friday ahead of Thanksgiving. The supervisor also announced that this holiday season the town would accept waste oil, which is used to create biodiesel fuel, at the town landfill on Horseblock Road in Brookhaven hamlet. Last year, the town accepted more than 350 gallons of used cooking oil after Thanksgiving, according to the press release. The landfill is open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday, from 7 a.m. to noon. For Thanksgiving fire safety tips, visit the National Fire Protection Association at www.nfpa.org.

Fire breaks out at SBU By Phil CorSo

A ferocious fire inside a dormitory building at Stony Brook University has left multiple floors and rooms damaged, the university said Monday. The blaze broke out last Saturday night in a student’s room on the second floor of O’Neill College, one of four residential buildings in Mendelsohn Quad, officials said. It took teams from various fire departments in the community to extinguish the flames and forced about 115 student residents to relocate to temporary housing, the university said in a statement. The cause was still under investigation and there were no reported injuries. “The fire was contained to one bedroom on E-wing [of the dormitory] with some damage to several room doors on multiple floors of the wing as well as some water and smoke damage,” the university said in a statement. “Professional and student staff within campus residences immediately began to work diligently to provide resident students with the resources and support needed, and continue to do so.”

University police initially reported the fire before crews arrived. The Setauket Fire Department responded to the call and received mutual aid from the Stony Brook, St. James and Port Jefferson departments. There, officials found that the dorm room where the flames originated was destroyed. Setauket firefighters had to carry hoses up to the second floor because there were no standpipes there to connect to, due to the building’s decades-old architecture, the Setauket Fire Department said in a statement. “Once water was brought to bear, most flames were extinguished and the remainder of the alarm resulted in cleaning out debris to ensure there was no extension to the fire,” the department said in a statement. The university said the displaced residents would return to the building when it is properly restored. “Currently there are professional fire restoration personnel on-site working to repair the facility in conjunction with our campus residence operations and risk management staff,” the university said in a statement.

Setauket firefighters get set with a ladder to approach the second-floor dormitory fire area as soon as interior firefighters put water on the fire.

THROWBACK THURSDAY

Climb ev’ry Broadway

Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, football — and a car race? Turkey Day has its traditions, and for Port Jefferson one year in the Roaring ‘20s those included a hill-climbing contest. On the holiday in 1924, according to the Port Jefferson Village historical archive, automobiles raced up

the steep hill of East Broadway, from the Newcomb Brothers Garage to the entrance of Belle Terre at Cliff Road. Hill climbs up East Broadway had become a regular affair in the village, after the Automobile Club of Port Jefferson held its first one in June 1910. And contemporary Port Jefferson residents have experienced the fun, too — the village recreated the hill climb

during its Heritage Weekend in August, sending antique and otherwise unique cars revving up the road. Some people got decked out in Victorian-era garb for the occasion. The year of the Thanksgiving hill climb was a special one

for New Yorkers in another way: The event was held on the same day one famous department store held its first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in the city. Port Jefferson Village had a completely different look in that era: The fire department

headquarters was sandwiched between shops on Main Street, Port Jefferson High School was at its old location on Spring Street under the direction of supervising principal Earl L. Vandermeulen, and the harbor was being mined for sand.

PERSPECTIVES

College admissions: The value of demonstrated interest to ensure a college future. Students need to be their own advocates. To stand out from the crowd, showing interest and building admissions relationships are critical. What is the value of demonstrated interest? A future filled with promise.

or in some way communicate with me have a distinct advantage. So-called stealth applicants — people who apply without ever having made contact with me — are much more likely to be overlooked in the admissions process, regardless of their qualifications. A wise student will make a concerted effort to demonstrate his or her interest in colleges. There is no substitute for politicking and self-promotion. Fill out those inquiry cards; send some emails; attend a college meeting; take a campus tour. Make the college need you on its campus. Gone are the days when an application was enough

Ryan DeVito is a graduate of Miller Place High School and SUNY Geneseo. DeVito was also a counselor at High Point University and has since created his own college admissions advising company, ScholarScope, to help Long Island students and families.

Your turn BY RYan DeVito

The application is the least of the college admission’s cycle. Demonstrated interest drives the admissions game. It is the most interested student, not necessarily the most qualified student, who is admitted to college. A simple application is never enough. The value of demonstrated interest in college admissions has long been recognized but wholly underappreciated. Students everywhere assume that they show their interest in a college by submitting their applications. Sometimes, their efforts extend to taking a campus tour or participating in an open house event. Students who settle for these basic shows of interest, though, give themselves no advantage. Demonstrated interest can mean many things. From campus tours to admissions interviews, being on campus is a powerful way of communicating interest. This is especially true if the campus is far from home. There are numerous other ways, though, for students to easily interact with colleges. Beginning long before their senior year of high school, students can push themselves onto the radar of admissions counselors. Attending college fairs to meet admissions representatives is a great start. After all, there is no replacement for actual face time. Beyond impersonal college fairs, private high school visits are incredible opportunities for students to begin building relationships with admissions people. As senior year approaches, students can continue to build their admissions relationships by keeping in touch. A phone conversation is chief when it comes to long-distance communication. Email is the most universally accessible medium. Facebook and Twitter have also become key players in the admissions communication arena. Let admissions counselors know how interested you are in their school by maintaining an ongoing dialogue with them. The more you reach out to an admissions office, the more likely it is that you will stand out in their mind as a top candidate for admission. Having developed a relationship with counselors at your top schools may also increase their willingness to overlook blemishes on your academic record or be your advocate when it comes to admission and scholarship. Of course, every interaction with an admissions office should be positive. Communication should also be moderate in amount. Perhaps most important — students should interact with colleges directly. In general, parent advocating negatively skews the counselor’s perception of a student’s college readiness. My experience as an admissions counselor at a top university made it plain that demonstrated interest fills the class each year. Students who meet with me, talk with me

PEOPLE Comsewogue native part of cross country champion team Anchored by two runners finishing in the top 10, Suffolk County Community College won the 2015 National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Women’s Cross Country Championship on Nov. 7. The Sharks clinched their program’s second national title — its first since 2007. Freshman Ryleigh Donegan was the first Suffolk County student-athlete to cross the finish line, cracking the top five with a time of 19:26.7. Coming in behind her, in sixth place, was Sharks sophomore Leana Wiebelt, who finished with a time of 19:35.9. Sophomore Kayla Clements completed the race in 20:06.3, contributing an 11th-place finish to the Suffolk County effort. The Sharks’ other qualifying finishes came from freshman Menely Genao, of

Port Jefferson Station, and sophomore Ashlee Rommeney. Genao’s 20:33.3 performance earned 19th place, while Rommeney took 37th with a time of 21:24.2. Suffolk County Community College Athletic Director Kevin Foley lauded both the team and Coach Matt French. “Coach French has done a tremendous job rebuilding the women’s and men’s cross country teams,” Foley said. “In two short years, through his leadership and dedication, Matt has led Suffolk cross country and track and field into the national spotlight.” French gave credit to his athletes: “The ladies handled the expectations from their No. 1 ranking with tenacity and maturity, getting the job done on the day it counted.”

Elementary school students use discarded bottle caps to create a mural.

Kids make bottle cap mural During the course of three days, Edna Louise Spear Elementary School students recycled colorful bottle caps to craft a large mural that will be prominently displayed in the school. The school’s student-run Green Team spearheaded the hands-on project in an effort to teach their peers about the importance of recycling. To bring the project to fruition, the Green

Team held a schoolwide collection drive for bottle caps and worked with artist Leslie Slatter, of Green Earth Craft of Plainview, to design the mural. The mural features a water-themed design around the word SAIL, which stands for the school’s values — Safety, Acceptance, Independence and Learning. Each bottle cap in the mural includes a student’s name and initials.

Town braves the cold By GiSeLLe BarkLey

Residents were “freezin’ for a reason” at Cedar Beach last Saturday, for the Town of Brookhaven’s sixth annual Polar Plunge. Some of the countless residents in attendance took the plunge into the chilly waters of the Long Island Sound to help raise money for the athletes of Special Olympics New York. Plungers who raised at least $125 received a sweatshirt for their efforts.

Members of the Suffolk County Police Department, Nestle Nesquik, Long Island’s My Country 96.1 FM and local government officials, including Supervisor Ed Romaine, Councilwoman Jane Bonner, Councilman Kevin LaValle and Councilman Neil Foley, were there to show their support or join the plungers and take a dip in the water. Despite the breezy weather and cold currents, some residents left the water saying the water wasn’t as chilly as last year.

L et us pause to reflect on our blessings, give thanks during this holiday season for all we have been given, and pray for peace and the preservation of all that is good on earth.

May your family be blessed throughout this holiday season.

Ferry was at the game, and also attended a cross-country competition the same weekend, according to Cawley. “Going up to states, I felt like I was part of the state championship team,” Ferry said. “The kids make you feel very welcomed and supported. It’s rewarding.” Although it will be different in the bigger Half Hollow Hills school district, with two middle schools and two high schools, Ferry is looking forward to the new chapter. For the coaches she leaves behind, it’s bittersweet. “I kept busting her chops, telling her I’m not letting her go,” Cawley said, By Desirée Keegan

laughing. “But I want her to do the best she can do and achieve whatever she wants to achieve and be wherever she would be happy.” Mike Maletta, a wrestling coach who has been a teacher at the school for 23 years, said he will miss Ferry, who he called a stable force for the program she helped build, including helping to establish the boys’ and girls’ lacrosse teams. Maletta saw the effects of Ferry’s leadership firsthand, especially with his wrestlers. “Every time I was at the state tournament with my wrestlers, you could see her walking around with a camera around her neck, taking pictures,” he said. “A lot of those pictures make it to the endof-the-year senior awards banquet and it went above and beyond what a lot of athletic directors do. She was always there supporting our program and those pictures meant a lot.” He also said she was a big help in staying all day to be an announcer and handle paperwork at the team’s Bob Armstrong Memorial Tournament. “That right there will be a huge loss for me,” he said. “She was there making sure everything was done, because during the day, I’m all over the place and it’s nice having someone there helping out the program. There’s a comfort level with having someone you’ve known for nine years, and her leaving is really going to affect me.” Ferry will remain Section XI’s vice president, but other roles will change, as her new school district is in a different conference. She will also remain involved

with the New York State Public High School Athletic Association as the female representative for Section XI. The outgoing athletic director said it’s been nice to feel appreciated and recognized for the job that she’s done, but feels most proud of the kids and the coaches for the working relationships everyone had and for making her feel supported. “I am grateful for the opportunity to have developed professionally at Port Jefferson,” she said. “I hope I left a mark here. ... I am part of the program, but I feel it’s more than that. That’s the benefit to working in Port Jefferson. The coaches and players make you feel like you’re part of the team.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

These are a few of our favorite things

There are many devices for using drugs.

One is too many TO ThE EDITOR: Earlier this week my colleague in the Sachem school district, James Nolan, shared an urgent message with parents following a frightening experience with a high school student. This child experienced a severe seizure as the result of using a synthetic cannabinoid commonly known as “K2” or “Spice.” These synthetic drugs are becoming more prevalent throughout Long Island and the country. They can be inhaled using vapor pipes, which makes them odorless and undetectable. As parents, we are all prone to feel “not my kid.” In Port Jefferson, we often feel a false sense of immunity or insulation from dangers that are more prevalent in other places. While we by no means have a drugrelated epidemic in our schools, injury to or loss of even one child is one too many. We must be proactive in our approach to preventing drugrelated tragedies from infiltrating our schools and village. To that end, please recall that we will be hosting, in conjunction

with the Village of Port Jefferson, a public forum titled, “The Ugly Truth.” Representatives from the Suffolk County Police Department will be present to enlighten those who attend regarding the drugrelated dangers that surround us. Attendees will also have the opportunity to become Narcan-trained (as many district employees already are). Narcan, as you may know, is a medication known to reverse the effects of opioids in an emergency situation. The forum will take place on Monday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Any student who has a parent/guardian attend this important presentation will be credited with two hours of community service. As an additional resource, a “Substance Abuse Prevention” tab has been added to the district website, at www.portjeffschools.org. It can be found under the “Community” link in the menu. With the assistance of our faculty as well as members of the community, we will continue to add valuable resources to this page to assist parents and students. It is terribly unfortunate that

the news over the last week has been filled with so many frightening events, both globally and close to home. As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday and the joyous season approaching, my hope is that, as friends and neighbors, we can band together in positive ways to create cause for celebration. have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope to see you on Dec. 7, if not before. Ken Bossert Parent, proud Port Jefferson resident, and Superintendent of Schools

got an opinion? discuss it @ www.tbrnewsmedia.com The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

When most people celebrate Thanksgiving, they say they are thankful for things like their families and friends, and similarly irreplaceable items. Your newspaper staff is equally thankful for them, but we would be remiss if we did not also mention the little things that have kept us going all year. In our own words, the things we are grateful to have: Victoria Espinoza, editor of The Times of Huntington & Northport — M&Ms, which have been my constant companion when I’m stressed; Fleetwood Mac, for making me feel like Esméralda; Christoph Waltz, for being alive and reminding me that love is real. Phil Corso, editor of The Village Times Herald and the Times of Smithtown — The Shih Tzus, Betty and Buster, for carrying on Bugsy’s legacy; Taco Bell’s mobile app; my Casper mattress. Desirée Keegan, sports editor and editor of The Village Beacon Record — Coffee, for its waking and warming qualities; music, because it’s always there to complement my mood; sports, because they are exciting, challenging and rewarding. Giselle Barkley, reporter — My new car, which brings an end to a history of car troubles; tea, because it’s one of the few things that keep me warm; Louis C.K., because life’s nothing without some laughter. Elana Glowatz: online editor and editor of The Port Times Record — My dog, for being a person; Dunkin’ Donuts, for opening 200 feet from my desk; peanut butter, for being my life partner since the 1980s. A happy Thanksgiving to all our readers, both the longtime subscribers and the ones who picked up a newspaper for the first time today. We are all thankful for you too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Taking Time to be Thankful for the Trivial

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

I

s the McDonald’s commercial bothering anyone else? I get it. The Golden Arches is serving breakfast all day long. Something about that radio advertisement is irritating, especially after I’ve heard it for the 20th time in a day. In honor of that commercial, I thought I’d share a list of the trivial things I’m thankful for. Yes, I know there are

many real things to appreciate, but, for now, I choose to focus on the mundane. I’m thankful I’m not sitting next to someone telling me why he’s so angry at his ex-wife. Divorce is tough and coordinating activities for kids is challenging — even for parents who are happily married — but, dude, I don’t need to hear every twist and turn in your agonizing morning. I know, that sounds terrible and unsympathetic, but we don’t have to share everything with everyone. I’m thankful that some games get canceled because of rain or snow. I know it’s our fault that we put our kids in all these sports and that some time down the road, I’ll have to get back on the road for a makeup game. But, in the moment, I can’t help enjoying the unexpected freedom to leave the keys and my chauffeur hat where they are. I’m trivially thankful I’m not much taller. If I were much taller, I might have to duck when I en-

tered a room or struggle to find a place to hide when someone who is about to tell me all the things about his ex-wife that bother him. Who am I kidding, right? It’d be cool to be taller and be able to dunk a basketball or even have a better view of people coming down a crowded hallway. I’m thankful I’m not waiting behind a car that’s in the left lane and doesn’t have a blinker on. I’m not sitting at a turn when, just as the light turns green, the guy puts on his blinker, forcing me to wait while the cars in the right gleefully pass me without giving an inch to allow me to sneak into the other line. Hooray! Let’s hear it for those last minute blinker people, who give me a chance to appreciate the same traffic light another time through the green-yellow- red cycle. You never know: maybe the light will go from yellow to green this time and I will be the first one to witness it. And, maybe the traffic light will send me a Morse code signal with the

winning lottery number. I’m thankful I’m not in middle school. If you really need me to explain this one, you were probably sickeningly popular during those awful transition years and you need another rite of passage time in your life, just so you can understand the rest of us. I’m thankful someone isn’t trying to tell me, right now, what should outrage me. I recognize that people get outraged about real and important things, like how politicians focus too much on one thing and not the thing that matters most to them in the moment. But, hey, just because I remain calm while other people are loudly outraged doesn’t mean I deserve that disgustedly frustrated look I get when I shrug in the face of your fury. I’m thankful some of the dialogue in movies out right now is so bad that it’s added an unintended comic dimension while giving me the chance to appreciate the difference between quality entertainment and words

I’m thankful I’m not in middle school.

to connect computer animated excitement. The Mockingjay Part 2 film offers several such gems. In one scene, Peeta Mellark, played by Josh Hutchinson, and Gale Hawthorne, played by Liam Hemsworth, discuss their competing interest for Katniss Everdeen, acted with considerable seriousness by Jennifer Lawrence. They conclude that they’re not sure who Katniss will choose, but it probably doesn’t matter much because all three of them are unlikely to survive anyway. Oh yes, the sweet agony of the love triangle in the middle of a life or death struggle.

Shop locally for holiday specials this year

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

n recognition of the major role small businesses play in our national economy, Saturday, the day after Black Friday and two days after Thanksgiving, has been dubbed Small Business Saturday. Small businesses play an even greater role in our local economy and quality of life, and so we urge you to shop locally this Saturday and every day for the following reasons: This year we have partnered with the chambers of com-

merce to urge you to do your shopping locally. In fact, around this time every year, I urge everyone to shop locally. This is in part self-serving, for the community newspaper benefits directly from sales in the local store. The owner or manager of that store then has the money to advertise in the newspaper, which in turn brings them more customers, which brings more money, which brings more advertising and so on. And while the sophisticated media buyers will tell us that they need more advertising than usual because their business is off, in practical terms, for local store owners, it is hard to put out money for advertising when the dollars are not in the cash register. So, when business is good in the community, it’s good for the newspaper; the converse is also true. The point of this, however, is that when business is good in the community, it is good for all of us. We are tied to each other inextricably, and anyone who

doubts that must not be conscious. With the ending of the Cold War, small defense subcontractors here on Long Island quickly had to adjust production to serve other markets. The idea that no man is an island has never been truer than in the economics of today’s global village, and even as we are tightly bound together on a macroeconomic level, we are much more so on a microeconomic level. For one thing, most of the stores in our communities are managed by the owners who perhaps employ one or two local people to help them. More often than not, the owners, too, live locally. But even if they do not, chances are they will run out during lunch to do some errands and spend their money locally. Hence the dollars spent at home tend to stay at home, circulating and recirculating with a multiplier effect that enhances our standard of living and maintains our quality of life. The more that dollars turn

over, the more necessities, like groceries, are purchased, the more discretionary income is spent on the likes of toys and presents, the more durables, like cars and refrigerators, are bought and, finally, the more movies and concerts we attend preceded by dinner at a fine local restaurant. There is another aspect to the charity begins at home message. Local business people have been generous toward community groups that routinely approach them for contributions. And that, too, is in part selfserving. Many of those business people have children who play for the Little League teams asking to be sponsored. Ditto for the soccer league, the marching band, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and the myriad of talented groups in need of underwriting. Their first thought is always to appeal to local businesses for help, and those have responded in the finest tradition of giving something back to the communities.

LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz

When business is good in the community, it is good for all of us. When we think of “downtown” in our villages, we think of where the stores are congregated. If those stores are largely empty, there will soon be more For Rent signs in the windows, which in turn bring fewer shoppers and weaken each shopping center, which then tends to encourage litter, then vandalism and a continued downward spiral. Pride of place is eroded, and that is directly connected to pride of self. Which brings me back to the basic message: Let’s all be selfserving, in the sense of helping ourselves. This holiday season, more than ever, shop locally. Your reward will be service with a smile. Earlier versions of this column were previously printed.
