Just call it the fabulous fifth.

After the No. 2 Kings Park girls’ volleyball team defeated

No. 1 Westhampton Beach in three straight sets last Thursday, to claim the school’s fifth straight Suffolk County Class A title, the team swept Wantagh in three to claim the Kingsmen’s fifth straight Long Island championship crown.

On Saturday, at Suffolk County Community College’s Brentwood campus, the team cruised to wins in the first two sets, 2522 and 25-19, but had to battle back after Wantagh (21-2) led from 1-0 until Kings Park (17-1) took the lead at 18-17 and scored seven straight points to win the final set.

suffolk County Police Department detectives are investigating an incident in which a man’s body was found near a sandbar along the Kings Park Bluff.

By Phil Corso

Suffolk County Police pulled a man’s body from the waters at Kings Park Bluff on Saturday.

The county police department responded to an incident during which

a car plunged into the Kings Park Bluff waters around 10:40 p.m. on Friday night, authorities said. Marine Bureau divers investigated the scene soon after.

But the following morning, around 7:35 a.m., police received a 911 call reporting a body on a sandbar in the river.

ately known that it was his vehicle in the water.

The vehicle was removed from the water on Monday and the incident was classified as noncriminal, police said.

The county’s Homicide Squad detectives were still investigating the incident.

Marine Bureau divers once again responded and recovered the body of an adult male. Police described the man’s location as “a distance away” from where the vehicle went into the water.

It was unclear if police knew the man’s identity, and it was not immedi-

Last year, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association announced Kings Park as the 2015 winner of its Community Service Challenge program.

This Saturday, Nov. 21, Kings Park varsity and junior varsity athletes, along with students who are part of Life Skills and National Honor Society, will join high school staff members in a project called Stuff-ABus. The objective is to collect food and household items for needy families in the Kings Park community and help supply local food pantries with food for families in

need throughout the year.

The district needs help. The pantry is running low and we need to add supplies to our inventory. Please come to the Key Food shopping center this Saturday, from 9 to 11 a.m., to help support families in our community.

The following non-perishable items are needed to help stock the shelves: personal hygiene products, peanut butter and jelly, tuna, pasta, toiletries, paper goods, school snacks, frozen turkeys and canned goods.

PEOPLE KP ‘Rep.’ Ribaudo attends medical congress

Joseph Ribaudo represented Kings Park High School and the State of New York at the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Boston, an honors-only program.

Ribaudo received an Award of Excellence from his principal, Lino Bracco, and said that “by far, my favorite part of the Congress was getting to watch the live surgery, since it is my goal to become a surgeon. As the surgery progressed, we were given the opportunity to ask the surgeon questions, which he answered while performing the surgery.”

Joseph Ribaudo, who attended the Future Medical Leaders Congress in Boston, receives an Award of Excellence from Kings Park High School Principal Lino Bracco.

Smithtown High School West student Tiffany Holtje was named a winner in the visual arts category of the 2014-2015 New York State Parent Teacher Association Reflections program. The theme was “The World Would Be a Better Place If…” Tiffany’s submission, “The World Would Be a Better Place If Mr. Miller Was Still in It,” was selected to be a part of the NYS PTA Reflections Art Roadshow multimedia exhibit from Oct. 17 through Nov. 1 at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City. From there, her artwork traveled to Niagara Falls for the NYS PTA annual convention.

“Mr. Miller was my sixth-grade so-

cial studies and English teacher, who passed away last year on Sept. 23,” Tiffany said. “I was deeply affected by his sudden passing, and it caused me to reflect on all that he had taught me and how it had transformed me into the person that I am today.

He was a truly incredible and influential man, and touched every one of his students.”

The PTA Reflections program encourages students in pre-K through grade 12 to explore their artistic talent by submitting works of art in six areas: dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and the visual arts.

Kings Park advances to the first round of the state tournament at Glens Falls Civic Center on Saturday.

But first, last Thursday, Kings Park topped Westhampton 25-23, 25-20 and 25-17, for the Suffolk title.

The Kingsmen took seven straight

points in the first set of the Suffolk County championship game, and broke out to a 10-6 lead, as both teams continued to trade points until Kings Park was ahead 17-12 at the first timeout.

The Hurricanes battled back with several long volleys to close the gap to 20-18, but the Kingsmen rattled off four more points to take a 24-20 advantage. Kings Park looked to put the game away, and did, but not before Westhampton took three more points, to win the first set, 25-23.

ing what we have to do,” Kloos said. “We come out with so much excitement, so this win is just amazing for us.”

With the teams tied 7-7 in the second set, Kings Park surged ahead 24-17, but Westhampton Beach scored the next three points to trail 24-20. Again, the Kingsmen found a way to dig out the last point, to win the second set 25-20.

Kings Park sophomore middle hitter Erika Benson said her team has a winning formula.

“I think it’s the passion we have for each other,” she said. “All three matches were close, and they played really well, but in the end we came out stronger.”

Westhampton Beach struggled, and fell behind in the third set 8-2 in a must-win set to stay alive. The Hurricanes would not go quietly though, and battled back to close within four points late in the match.

Kehoe finished with 12 kills and 16 digs, Kloos added 14 kills, Wilton had 12 kills and 16 digs, Murphy had 25 digs, and Cornwell added 31 assists.

“We communicate really well; Meagan Murphy, Lauren Baxter and Kayla Buell played really great defense,” Kings Park senior middle hitter Lauren Kehoe said. “Lauren Kloos and Jaclyn Wilton were swinging great and Stephanie Cornwell was serving really well, so it was just a good performance all around.”

It was the third time the teams faced each

other this year, and although Kings Park won the second meeting between the two, the Hurricanes handed Kings Park their only loss in the season in the first game of the year.

Wilton said Westhampton Beach is a much stronger team this season compared to last.

“We lost to them in our first game, we’ve been undefeated in my high school career and that first lost hurt,” Wilton said. “I never knew what that felt like, but since then, I knew that I never wanted to experience that again.”

And so far, they haven’t.

PERSPECTIVES

College admissions: The value of demonstrated interest 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 col-

143450

lege 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 communica-

tion. 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 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 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.

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.

energy navigators who help answer any questions a homeowner has. Lewis said the energy navigators then schedule a free home energy assessment that provides an in-depth analysis of a home’s energy efficiency for each homeowner.

It was crafted after similar programs in neighboring municipalities, but has tweaked pieces of the process with hopes of making it better, supporters said.

In an earlier version of this program started in 2008 in Babylon, an average homeowner saved about $1,000 each year in energy costs, according to a press release.

LIGH has also partnered with five towns, including Huntington and Smithtown along the North Shore, to further encourage residents of those towns to take advantage of this program.

“I am proud this newest LI Green Homes Initiative is kicking off in Huntington Station,” Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) said in a statement. “This is a prime example where much of the housing stock dates before the first energy conservation codes were adopted in the 1970s and can benefit dramatically by upgrading insulation and heating systems that are at or near their useful life expectancy.”

Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) said this program incurs few out-of-pocket expenses for homeowners.

Many improvements that require homeowner investment are eligible for cost reductions of up to 50 percent, depending upon household income, according to Cuthbertson.

In an interview, Lewis said the only contractors providing the free home energy assessments were licensed, local, insured, and certified by Building Performance Institute. The contractors test a house’s insulation, heating and hot water systems, ventilation and more.

Once the tests are completed, the homeowner is given a comprehensive report that includes where and how their home can save energy, a fixed cost for each recommended improvement, and projected dollar savings on their utility bills for each recommended improvement.

If a homeowner decides to go ahead with those suggestions, the program would then assign them a performance specialist to do the work on their property.

The LIGH program can pay the entire cost of the improvements, and under a contract with the homeowner, the town sets up a monthly payment plan, Lewis said.

LIGH also structures the payment so that your savings cover your monthly bill. If a homeowner saves $100 a month on energy costs, they only owe the town $90 a month.

“We’re trying to get people to test their homes and make them more energy efficient,” Cuthbertson said.

The Initiative is funded for three years by a Cleaner, Greener Communities competitive grant award from NYSERDA of $2.3 million, and a supplemental grant from the Rauch Foundation in Garden City.

There are 70 million homeless dogs and cats in America, and only 6 to 8 million end up in a shelter. 7 out of 10 cats in shelters are euthanized because they can’t find homes. “ Star” is one of the lucky ones. Found abandoned at a Starbucks, she found her way to us - a no kill shelter. We’ll keep her until you take her home where she belongs.

OPINION

File photo

Parents and teachers protest the Common Core learning standards at a rally held in 2013.

EdiTOriAL

Let the people speak on Common Core

AiMhighNY, the state’s survey for receiving public feedback on the Common Core Learning Standards, seems to be coming up short.

Board of education members from huntington Union Free School district expressed frustration with the review system, which was felt across the North Shore this week, and said the survey did not give parents and educators enough space or time to voice their Common Core concerns.

Trustees said the review is specific and tedious, and that the section to submit opinions is “restrictive.”

Upon exploring the site, many of those claims don’t seem far-fetched.

There are more than 24 subsections of the review. At one point, the continual division of a topic into a smaller topic seems endless, and a user may need to go through more than five sections before they can write in their own comments. if a participant wanted to fill out the entire assessment, it would be no small feat — and that’s if time is on your side.

But that is not the case for AiMhighNY. The survey, which opened in October, ends in about two weeks. Schools have even said they are having multiple teachers work on one survey just to submit something.

With the amount of protesting against Common Core we’ve seen throughout New York State over the last few years, should there even be a deadline?

Perhaps like rolling admissions in college, rolling submissions in Common Core may work. Of course reviews need to be evaluated, but with the current public opinion of Common Core, it may be a good idea to continually check parents’ and educators’ suggestions and not limit their time to a four-week period.

A free community meeting is delving into the topic of Long Island’s heroin epidemic.

Drug abuse summit TO ThE EdiTOr: readers of the Times Beacon record Newspapers should be made aware of a free public community summit to discuss the rise of drug abuse on Long island. The event will be hosted by Congressman Lee Zeldin (r), a member of the house of representatives’ Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the heroin Epidemic. included will be a panel of

parents, educators, health care professionals, law enforcement officials, local elected officials and recovering substance abusers. The meeting is scheduled to be held this Friday, Nov. 20, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at the Patchogue-Medford high School, located at 181 Buffalo Ave., Medford.

The problem of heroin and opiate addition among our young people is growing at an alarming and increasingly deadly rate.

These addicted children along with their families and friends

are suffering in ways completely unimaginable just a few short years ago.

A fully informed public is one of the best weapons against this poisonous, heartbreaking, destructive epidemic. if you’re thinking this isn’t a truly serious issue, you probably haven’t asked enough people.

Please try to take the time and attend. Kids are dying.

Do you want to know a secret?

D. None of the above

by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

P

ssst! Hey, do you want to know a secret? I’ve got a great one. It’s called …

Flodgy Dodgy. Shhh! Don’t say it too loudly yet. I’m not supposed to tell anyone, but you’re a good friend. Well, no, I don’t technically know you yet, but you look like you could be a good friend. All friends start

out as strangers, right?

Anyway, what is Flodgy Dodgy? It’s a made-for-TV product. Through viral marketing, we plan to put this product front and center, sharing it with the people who watch football every Sunday and with those addicted to highbrow features.

Flodgy Dodgy makes you feel good. It’s this incredible combination of things from column A, things from column B and things from column C. Each of these columns was based on years of scientific research. Well, it wasn’t actually conducted by scientists. We used these focus groups but, hey, what’s the difference? We don’t need initials. We pulled some of them directly off the Internet, so it has to be true.

We have an app, too. You can put it on your iPhone or your Samsung or whatever you’re supposed to silence before watching a movie.

So, before I get to the product,

I want to let you know that the packaging of Flodgy Dodgy is not only recyclable, it’s wearable. You can take the packaging, peel off the simple sticker and, voilà, you have stickers you can put all over your notebooks and your office door. You can even put them over some of the holes in your fashionably torn jeans.

Can’t you see it? Popular kids in middle school sit down at their desks, put down their binders and there, in neon colors so bright people will practically need sunglasses to look at them, will be the name Flodgy Dodgy. When the teacher comes over and asks what it is, the kids can explain that it’s saving the environment because it doesn’t produce any waste. Well, technically, it does produce some waste, because the part you peel comes off in your hands and then you have to throw it out somewhere, but that’s not nearly as bad as the side effects from all those drugs advertised on TV.

But, wait, I haven’t gotten to the best part and, for this, we have Donald Trump to thank. He’s such an inspiration. You see, this guy doesn’t seem willing to get along with anyone in either party and he’s so far from the common man that he might as well be living on Mount Olympus, but, hey, that doesn’t matter. He’s on TV and he plays well on the small screen.

He could be the first made-for-TV president who has the ability to say what we’re thinking. If we have no thoughts, he would convince us what we should be thinking because he’s The Man. I digress. Our idea — and you’ll love this — is that we’re starting a Flodgy Dodgy network. We’re going to go out with cameras and find the people with the most Flodgy Dodgy stickers all over them and we’re going to give them 10 seconds to do a Flodgy Dodgy dance.

That’s right, TV. Ahhh! Can’t you picture it? And we’re going to

I’m not supposed to tell anyone, but you’re a good friend. let people link through the TV to all their social networks, so their friends and their jealous enemies will be able to watch them do their thing in full Flodgy Dodgy outfits.

Oh, sorry, my time’s up. I didn’t get to the product itself, but who cares? It’s not about the stuff inside, it’s about everything else and, when it comes to everything else, Flodgy Dodgy is No. 1. Now, remember, we don’t want you to tell anyone but your 20 or 50 best friends. OK? Daniel Dunaief’s recent book, “The Other Parent,” may be purchased online from www.tbrnewsmedia.com/ebooks.

The goal of terrorists is terror

ore police cars lined the front of Lincoln Center Plaza on Monday than I have seen anywhere else on an otherwise uneventful night in New York City, and the police officers were standing shoulder to shoulder on the sidewalk. It was three days after the horrific attack on civilians in Paris by the ISIS group, according to their own admission. More than 130 people in the French capital, who were

doing little more than enjoying the beginning of a weekend at restaurants, a concert hall and a soccer stadium, were killed by at least eight suicide jihadists, and that number could still double if those hospitalized should die. Most of the victims were gathered to hear a rock band from California known for its wit, but now with the unfortunate name of Eagles of Death Metal, and a hostage scene ensued after gunmen burst into the Bataclan performance hall and fired into the crowd. “Carnage,” posted one concertgoer on Facebook, according to The New York Times.

So it was a welcome sight for our little group to see the extensive police presence as we walked toward the entrance to the Metropolitan Opera House and our evening performance of Verdi’s “Rigoletto.” The police were relaxed, and when we chatted with them, they told us that they were expecting a demonstration.

They said that was what brought them. I asked several officers if they had ever been to an opera, and they laughed and said “no;”

some offered that they would like to see one. One of our group asked if they were on overtime.

They said that they were not, that they had just come on duty. We told them that regardless of the reason, we were glad to see them and hoped they would one day enjoy an opera.

The jihadists, through their despicable acts, have succeeded in alarming the world, even as messages have poured forth from all corners of the globe asserting solidarity with France. In one such instance, the Metropolitan Opera orchestra, under the baton of Placido Domingo, played the French national anthem, the Marseillaise, before the matinee this past Saturday. The words to the rousing song had been inserted into each program so the spectators could sing along, and they did with feeling. Other performances, sporting events and places where crowds gathered offered such support to France from all quarters throughout the weekend. And once Monday morning dawned, the French

authorities were grimly examining the extent of the destruction: physical, emotional, psychological, and economic.

Those costs are not just for France, but are felt worldwide.

Police and military presences have been increased everywhere crowds assemble to reassure citizens they are protected. Tourists are not so quick to roam the globe or even to get on airplanes. Families are afraid for their distant members. Performers are reluctant to perform for crowds. Parents and educators are deeply concerned about how to explain these events to children. And triggered by profound anger and fear, more death reigns down on militants in Syria and Iraq from governments pressed to retaliate, creating more militants who will be willing to die to avenge their brethren killed in those attacks. Killing begets more killing. The world remains a dangerous place, as I suppose it has always been. Mass murder of innocents has again become part of life on the planet, winning points for the causes of the

murderers. The more gruesome the deaths, the more attention paid, the more points.

What to do?

I liked what the French celebrity, Shy’m, was quoted by The Times as saying. “After much reflection, doubt and fear, but above all a powerful and profound need to respond, to respond to fear, I decided to go onstage.”

(She has concerts scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Paris.) “What has happened to France and humanity is unspeakable and unbearable, but it is out of the question to hole up and stay silent.”

If past is prologue, the intensity of this latest horror will recede, and people will, in time, go on with their normal lives—until the next time.
