Everything started turning around for Port Jefferson Station’s Annie O’Shea this past summer. A veteran of the high-speed world of skeleton racing, O’Shea had a reputation for her extraordinary sprinting speed. She just hadn’t been able to put it all together. In skeleton, where racers use the same tracks as bobsled, competitors, clad in aerodynamic suits and helmets, sprint at top speed with their hands on their sleds for five seconds, until they dive on top of the sled, steering through treacherous turns at speeds of over 80 miles per hour by shifting their body weight. “For years, she’s been known for having one of the fastest starts in the world, and then losing that on the way down,” said Tuffy La-

tour, head coach of the United States skeleton team. But not anymore. At an International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation World Cup race last week, O’Shea was poised to do something she’d never done on her home track in Lake Placid: collect a medal. Behind the leaders by a tenth of a second after the first of two heats, she visited with her skeleton coaches and her conditioning coach, Brett Willmott, who is also the associate head track and field coach at the University of Vermont. “Her first run, she was a little sloppy” with her sprint, Willmott said. “I told her to be aggressive in the last four steps. That’s all she needed to know.” With a physical game plan, O’Shea, 28, stood at the starting gate, waiting her turn to dig her SKeLeTON continued on page a12

Brookhaven is back in business. Elected officials, their family members and other residents packed into the Town of Brookhaven auditorium in Farmingville on Jan. 7 to witness Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) being sworn into his second full term in office alongside fellow recently elected and re-elected board members, including board newcomer Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Middle Island) and other town officials. Back in November, Loguercio won the

race for the 4th District — a position previously held by former Councilwoman Connie Kepert, a Democrat. Valerie Cartright, the councilwoman from Port Jefferson Station, is now the only Democrat on the seven-member board. Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said last week’s ceremony was a day of celebration that helped validate how residents voted during the 2015 elections. In light of the board’s past work, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) highlighted Romaine’s performance as the supervisor, saying that he has always

been one of the fiercest and most passionate advocates for what he believes in. Although residents saw the supervisor and Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) officially sworn into their terms on Jan. 7, other elected officials recently elected to the board were officially sworn in at a previous event two days earlier. While several councilmembers were no strangers to the ceremony, the swearing in process still never gets boring, one North Shore lawmaker said. “I’m really excited to get started again,”

Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) said before the ceremony. “It was a great first two years — we accomplished a great deal. I’m really looking forward to the next two years.” Romaine was sworn in last by Judge Judith Pascale. “I pledge to work with my town board to find common purpose,” Romaine said in his speech following his oath. “To address these challenges head on and to make decisions necessary for a prosperous future and one that serves all the residents of this town.”

Foundation shocks Tesla Science Center with grant Money will fund the purchase of a cataloging program By Giselle Barkley

Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe rang in the new year with another grant. On Jan. 5, the center announced that it received a grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation. The news comes just two days after the anniversary of Tesla’s death, which was on Jan. 7, 1943. The money from the grant will fund the purchase of a cataloging program and storage unit. While the new unit allows the center to store artifacts and collections, the program, PastPerfect, will help the center record and document those artifacts and collections. The organization applied for the $3,800 grant in October and was approved the following month. Although it received the grant in December, the organization was unable to buy the program at the time. But the news that they received the full $3,800 grant was a surprise. The Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation supports and aims to preserve New York State history, particularly in Suffolk County. The foundation is known for meeting organizations halfway on an approved grant. “We support [the organizations],” said Kathryn Curran, president of the foundation. “But they also need to find ways to

be sustainable.” Organizations applying for a grant must be able to fund half the money it requests on the application. Curran said Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe received the full grant they applied for because the organization wasn’t requesting a significant amount of money and because, when it comes to fundraising, Curran said, the center is one of the best. Although Tesla Science Center applied for the grant in hopes of purchasing the program, Treasurer Mary Daum said the program hasn’t been installed yet, but will be soon. In 2012, the center raised $1.37 million dollars in one month from a crowdfunding campaign. Daum said this was the organization’s first real fundraising campaign. The money they raised helped purchase the Tesla Science Center property at the time. As Nikola Tesla’s last and only existing laboratory, Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe is world-renowned, leaving them with thousands of followers. Some followers are active donors, while others like to keep up with the center’s newsletter. Although the organization didn’t use crowdfunding to help raise money for its last fundraiser, they raised around $17,000 during its six-week campaign. “We’ve done so much work on construction or improving the grounds, and that’s

Call to schedule a tour and learn about our curriculum within a loving, nurturing environment

not the kind of thing the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation supports,” Daum said. “But what they do support is preserving Long Island’s historic legacy.” While it was the first time the center applied for a grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, it wasn’t the first time the foundation gave an organization the full grant it applied for. The foundation wants to know that organizations like the center at Wardenclyffe are meeting their fundraising goals. It will be a few years before the center

achieves its main goal of establishing a science center and museum, but Jane Alcorn, president of Tesla Science Center, said it recently purchased a collection of historic electrical equipment that are similar to tools Tesla may have used during his lifetime and other artifacts the center can catalog. “We feel very fortunate that the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation provided funding for us to start our collection on the right foot,” Alcorn said. “We’re grateful to their foresight in providing grants to us and local institutions.”

Long time lumber companies close doors By Giselle Barkley

After 57 years, the Thurber Lumber Company won’t be open for business after January. The family-owned and -operated business is giving its inventory to Riverhead Building Supply, a lumber company that announced plans for expansion on Jan. 5. The latter company will also acquire several Nassau Suffolk Lumber locations including its lumberyards in Port Jefferson, Locust Valley and cabinet showroom in Bohemia. The company will still own its Huntington lumberyard, but Riverhead Building Supply will also operate out of that location. Although Thurber Lumber is transferring its lumber and tools to Riverhead Building Supply, Thurber is keeping its property in Rocky Point. Kevin Keillor Jr., co-owner of Thurber Lumber, couldn’t disclose what he and his father Kevin Keillor Sr. will do with the property, or their asking price if they decide to sell the land, because the deal between the companies is ongoing. John Callahan, president of Riverhead Building Supply, said his company expects to close the deal in early February. Callahan also wouldn’t disclose how much his company will spend on Thurber’s inventory and Nassau Suffolk Lumber’s three lumberyards. He said his business and the two lumber companies started discussing plans to transfer ownership last November. “We have good relationships with all of our competitors in the area,” Callahan said. “Growth has always been a primary focus. It’s known among our competitors. If an opportunity arrives [the companies are] open to those discussions.” Keillor Jr. and Nassau Suffolk Lumber owner Chris Van Tuyl approached Riverhead Building Supply. He didn’t specify why they decided to sell the company’s inventory but said the “business climate over the years has certainly changed.” According to Chicago Mercantile Exchange, toward the end of September 2008 lumber prices dropped below $230/1,000 board feet. Since then, lumber prices increased to $256.70/1,000 board feet. While the recession hit many businesses hard, Thurber Lumber, which was founded in 1931, and Nassau Suffolk Lumber, survived as they had for several decades. Twenty-eight years later, Myron Keillor purchased the property. For nearly six decades the family owned and operated the business that served a wide variety of communities in the area. While the reason behind its closing is unknown, Nassau Suffolk Lumber chose to sell because Chris Van Tuyl and his brother William don’t have another family member to take over the business. “My brother and I don’t have any kids in the business and we started to get some offers for the property,” Chris Van Tuyl said. Amid the property offers, the duo decided to contact Riverhead Building Supply last year. They hoped selling to a fellow lumber company would help their employees find jobs once the store closed. Riverhead Building Supply is accepting job applications from former Thurber and Nassau Suffolk Lumber employees. Nassau Suffolk Lumber was incorporated in 1927. The Van Tuyl family was one of four families in the lumber business to come together to strengthen the company during tough economic times. The company’s Port Jefferson lumberyard was established several years later, in the late 1970s. Although the transfer of ownership is a loss to the company, Chris Van Tuyl also said his customers and employees alike will be in good hands. Once the deal closes this coming February, Riverhead Building Supply’s new stores will be open to the public. “There’s a lot to do in the next three weeks,” Callahan said. “We look forward to continuing the relationships that these companies have with their customers.”

Flanagan legislation sparks fire safety victory New law requires all smoke alarms sold in New York to operate on batteries that function for a decade By Phil Corso

This time, the batteries are included. State legislation aiming to address fire safety for New York families was signed into law this week, requiring every smoke alarm sold be equipped with a nonremovable, nonreplaceable battery that powers the device for a minimum of 10 years. State Sen. John Flanagan (REast Northport) heralded the new law he sponsored as a protective measure against house fires. In a statement, the senator said the law would help ensure that smoke alarms are operational for a longer period of time and hopefully save lives. Since smoke alarms were first mandated in the state back in 1961, Flanagan said that deaths due to fire have been cut in half, but most deaths due to fire today happen in homes with either no smoke alarm or a nonfunctioning one. Under the new law, Flanagan said, homeowners can be protected from dangerous fires for a longer period of time without constant maintenance. “Too many families in our state have suffered the loss of a loved one due to

a fire emergency, and this new law is aimed at protecting New Yorkers from this pain,” Flanagan said. “The data is crystal clear in how essential smoke detectors are in saving lives.” Over the operational life of the average smoke alarm, the new law could also potentially save homeowners money by eliminating the need for replacement batteries every six months, Flanagan said. After the 10-year operational time period of the device, a new smoke alarm device would need to be purchased as a replacement. Firemen’s Association of the State of New York President Robert McConville said lawmakers, including Flanagan, have taken big steps to keep New York families safe. “We would like to thank State Sen. John Flanagan for his leadership on this critical issue. Simply put, his efforts in passing this legislation will help save lives in New York State,” he said. “We’ve seen time and again that working smoke alarms can be the difference between life and death. Together, State Sen. Flanagan, Assemblyman Joseph Morelle (D-Irondequoit), and N.Y. Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) have succeeded in making

New York a safer place to live.” The new law will go into effect in April 2019, once an agreed-upon chapter amendment between the Governor, the Senate and the Assembly is approved. It will not apply to devices which have been ordered or that are in inventory when the law goes into effect. It will not impact devices that are powered through electrical systems, fire alarm systems with smoke alarms, fire alarm devices that connect to a panel or other devices with low-power radio frequency wireless

Additionally, the upcoming amendment will provide the state fire administrator, through its regulatory process, the ability to designate other devices that are exempt from the legislation. “It is critical that all homeowners who do purchase these devices in our state are able to trust them for a full decade,” Flanagan said. “The goal is to help New Yorkers protect their homes and their families, and this legislation is a great step in that effort.”

Senior earns ROTC scholarship

Rocky Point High School senior Christofer Casswell has been named an Army ROTC scholarship recipient and is one of only three Long Island students to earn the program’s four-year scholarship so far this year. In order to be considered for the scholarship, Casswell was required to complete a lengthy and detailed application process, including a survey, interview, physical fitness test and examination by the review board. Casswell will be joining the ROTC program at Providence College next fall, where he plans to major in political science. Through his four-year enrollment, Casswell will take a traditional course load of classes while also participating in the ROTC’s leadership classes and physical training program, including field and infantry exercises. Upon graduation, he will exit college with the ranking of active lieutenant and serve four to five years in the Army by com-

Everyone was high-fiving Ethan after the game and telling him it was a good shot and what a great story, they were all really excited for Ethan. It was an awesome experience.” Ethan’s father Nick Agro said he was more excited to see his son be able to go back to playing basketball, as the boy competes in an intermural league. “This was just a sort of culminating moment — to see him stand up there and make that shot was awesome,” he said. “It just solidified that he’s doing so well.”

Annie O’Shea, center, claimed a first-place finish behind Marina Gilardoni from Switzerland, left, and Laura Deas from Great Britain, right, in the World Cup skeleton race in Lake Placid.

“I’m so proud of her,” Linda O’Shea said. “It was just nice to see how happy she was. When she realized she was going to get any medal, she was really excited.” O’Shea and her other three daughters spent the better part of the morning exchanging emails. The mother has her daughter’s silver medal at home on a shelf, and is looking forward to adding the gold to the collection. After the medal ceremony, O’Shea signed autographs for some of her enthusiastic young fans. For years, she was too focused on where she finished. Now that she’s keeping her approach much simpler, O’Shea, and Latour hope this is just the beginning. “If she sticks with it and stays focused,

she can do anything,” Latour said. While she’s pleased with her first World Cup gold medal, O’Shea has her sights set on a bigger prize: the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. “This is the start of what I want to accomplish,” O’Shea said. After a decade on the tour, struggling through all types of challenges, O’Shea may have found her groove months before she stepped on the ice this season. “She did a lot of stuff this summer that’s starting to pay off,” Latour said. “This is her time.” On the immediate horizon, O’Shea will compete in the next World Cup race in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 15 and 16.

OPINION Make the pledge

Gun control is a controversial issue in the presidential race.

Stock photo

TO THE EDITOR: Some of the presidential candidates fully support the National Rifle Association and advocate an unrestricted interpretation of the Second Amendment. Furthermore, they suggest that several of the recent mass killings might have been prevented, or reduced in scope, if more people were carrying guns. Each of those candidates could exercise their conviction by making a pledge to the American public, stating that should they become president, they’ll sign an executive order stating that whenever they make a public appearance, the Secret Service and all other security agencies will not do weapons screenings. Bruce Stasiuk Setauket

Check the reader forums Get into the mix @ www.tbrnewsmedia.com

Unbelievable TO THE EDITOR: It's amazing how mindlessly people stroll through the Internet, and how willingly they gobble up information without knowing anything of its origin or accuracy. The recent public discussion about the lottery provided us with a prime example. Someone created a meme that alleged that if the $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot was divided among the roughly 300 million people in the U.S., each person would get $4.33 million. Sounds pretty great, right? We could end poverty and hunger overnight. The only problem is that $1.3 billion divided by 300 million is $4.33 — as in dollars, not millions of dollars. Not exactly a sum that puts an end to American poverty. Of course, as other critics have pointed out, there is also the matter of the U.S. population being closer to 309 million, and that a large portion of the jackpot is lost to taxes — both of which would cut individual shares even further. Some may argue that the meme's author intended to make a point about the distribution of wealth and used false math on purpose,

This incorrect meme has been shared all over the Internet.

but whatever the intention, all that person did was prove that stupidity knows no bounds. All over Facebook and other social media sites, people were sharing the meme in complete seriousness, exclaiming they wanted their cut of the jackpot. Some, to their credit, recognized the error. But most did not and became outraged over the

meme's false information. People need to stop lapping up every sensational thing they hear, and they especially need to stop repeating everything they hear. Maybe then we can have actually productive conversations about poverty, hunger or anything else. Sean McArdle Coram

One year after his Long Island colleague Tim Bishop, left, was ousted, Congressman Steve Israel has announced he will not seek re-election.

EDITORIAL

Big shift coming U.S. Rep. Steve Israel is stepping aside at the end of the year, declining to run for another term in the House this November, after what will be 16 years as the Democratic representative for the Huntington and Smithtown areas. But his departure will affect more than just western Suffolk County. Long Island residents in general should be paying attention to the 3rd Congressional District seat in the coming year. Our officials at the federal and state levels work with their neighboring colleagues to get things done that benefit Long Island — sometimes in a quid pro quo sort of way. That means that no matter the elected body or who our representative is, the priorities and the character of the person who is elected in the next district over from us are important. And with Israel gone, no matter who is elected to replace him, Suffolk County will have two longtime congressman exiting in two years, after Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) unseated Democrat Tim Bishop in 2014. That’s not to say that new blood is a bad thing. Zeldin kept himself busy during his first year in the House, authoring several bills. Most recently, he introduced the Earnings Contingent Education Loans (ExCEL) Act of 2015, which aims to help young people manage their federal student loan debt by making the repayment system more flexible, with payment amounts based on the borrower’s salary. And in interviews with this newspaper, Zeldin has called being a newcomer a positive — party leadership supports their freshmen, he said, because they want to help them retain their seats. We appreciate Israel’s long service to our community. That being said, electing a new point of view to Congress has the potential to be a good thing for Long Island, which is in a state of flux as we try to plan our economic and environmental future. 3rd District candidates, all eyes are on you.

Differences between the sexes in tall stories

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

e started, “Once upon a time, three little brown bears.” “No, no, that’s not right!” she shouted, interrupting him before he could get to the action. “They weren’t little, there weren’t three of them and they weren’t brown.” “Wait!” he protested, putting up a finger. “Who is telling this

story, you or me?” “No, well, if you’re going to tell it, tell it right,” she argued. “But it’s a children’s story,” he snapped. “Can’t we just tell the story?” “You want him to go to school with the wrong details? You want him to come home with a bloody nose because someone punched him when he argued about whether they were little brown bears or mediumsized, endangered polar bears?” “You think our kid is going to get into a fight because I might have used the wrong details in a story? Weren’t we trying to put the kid to sleep? Look at him now. He’s crawling all over the bed, putting everything he can reach into his mouth,” he said. “Yeah, well, get the details right next time,” she huffed, storming out of the room. What is it about storytelling that divides the sexes? Why is it that a man remembers a story

one way and a woman seems so much better at remembering the details? Is it fair to generalize? Well, like every generalization, yes and no. A friend recently shared his observation that his girlfriend, whom he thinks is absolutely one of the best people he’s ever known, has only one small problem — she tends to take all the momentum out of his stories by correcting him. Is she wrong, I wondered? And even if she’s not wrong, do the details matter? When I thought about all the couples I’ve known over the years, it seemed to me, in my nonscientific recollections, that the women were more likely than the men to halt a story to fix a detail. “So, there were we were, in the middle of a fire alarm scare in Boston, and we were standing at the window ledge, eight stories up,” he might be saying. “No! No! We were in San

Francisco, not Boston, and we were on the 11th floor,” she might suggest. A glare and bad body language often follows, as the man loses the thread of his story while he grinds his teeth, wondering whether he can or should confront the love of his life in front of other people. Is this one of those differences between the sexes that reflect the fact that men are from Mars and women are from Venus? I suspect it is. The way I see it, the details we share about our lives in stories are like the fish we might collect if we were standing at the edge of a pier in Stony Brook, dropping nets into the water to catch fish — or story details — as they swim by. The holes in a man’s net are larger, letting the small fish swim through, while the holes in the women’s nets are smaller. The women pull up their nets and notice and count

No! No! We were in San Francisco, not Boston, and we were on the11th floor. the large and small fish, paying meticulous attention to everything, cataloging the variety of fish in their nets. The men look at the fish and wonder: (a) “Is this enough for dinner?” (b) “Should I take a picture of it?” and most importantly (c) “Did I catch more fish than my brother or the stranger at the end of the pier who kept bragging about all the fish he caught?” The next time a man’s story goes off track because of specific details, maybe he can suggest he’s focusing on the “bigger fish.” Then again, a woman might rightfully reply that he’s just telling another “fish” story.

Rapturously waiting for a customized diet

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

ere is some new information for those struggling with their New Year’s resolution to lose weight. Not all of us metabolize the same foods in the same way. How we metabolize is unique for each of us and depends on different factors such as genetic makeup, gut bacteria, body type and chemical exposures. Further complicating the picture is the variability of response by the same individual, depending on stress and one’s environment at

any given day or week. Now we know that we are all different in what we can eat. I remember when I was in seventh grade and a good friend asked me to join her every day after school at the nearby Schrafft’s, the ladies genteel luncheon restaurant, for an ice cream sundae. Slender and yet to have need of a bra during our puberty years, she thought she could hurry such development along with some more poundage — her straightforward goal was to gain weight. The year was 1952 and if you can believe it females generally did not go into restaurants alone, although Schrafft’s was known to cater to women. So being a good pal, I went with her each afternoon for a month, and we rapturously enjoyed hot fudge sundaes with vanilla ice cream in chilled metal cups. At the end, she got on the scale and to her disgust she had not gained an ounce. I, on the other hand, although having changed nothing else in my ordinary diet during that time, had gained five pounds,

which I subsequently worked hard — alone — to take off. Moral of story: Different bodies digest differently. Now if we were in the caveman days, as a physician once told me, I would have a better chance of survival in times of starvation rations because I can store reserves better than she. But to this day she is reed slender … and I am not. How do bodies absorb and metabolize differently? If we could figure that out, people like us would be more successful following diets — a notoriously difficult thing to do. The same dietary advice does not work for everyone. A recent study published in the prestigious journal, Cell, “found a startling variation in the glucose responses of 800 subjects fed the same foods,” according to an article in Science Times, a section of the Tuesday New York Times. “Some participants had sharp increases in blood sugar when they ate ice cream and chocolate, while others showed only a flat or moderate response.” They could have been talking about my junior

high school friend and me. “Each person’s capacity to extract energy [calories] from foods differs, it appears,” the article continued. The researchers went further with their study. Using today’s high tech tools, they combined glucose responses of each participant with identification of gut bacteria, medications, family histories and lifestyles, and devised a formula that correctly predicted blood sugar responses to foods not yet eaten in the study. Once they could do that, the scientists could then modify diets and boost good gut bacteria according to whatever the goal might be for better health; for example, how to lose weight and/or prevent diabetes. The study is titled, “We Just Do It with Food,” and is coauthored by Dr. Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute in Israel. The study is based mainly on genetic testing, according to The Times, but scientists have only begun to explore the links between DNA and good nutrition.

To date, 38 different genes have been linked to nutrient metabolism, and the technology in the form of sophisticated computers exists to analyze big data issues. Meanwhile, until these studies produce customized diets for us, keep eating whole grains, lean meats, and lots of fruits and vegetables, especially the green leafy kind. Interestingly when I was a kid, I remember people who were fat blaming their weight on their “genes.” Most of us didn’t even know what genes were, and all of us scoffed at that idea. Obesity was considered a failure of willpower then, pure and simple. Little did we know how right those people turned out to be.

Rocky Point squad snags another first-place finish Cheerleading By BIll lAnDon

Cheerleading squads from all over Suffolk County converged on the mats of Rocky Point High School Sunday for the Suffolk County cheerleading sectionals, where Rocky Point and Comsewogue ran away with first-place finishes. Cheerleading officially became a recognized sport in the 2015-16 school year, making this sectional event the first time that the competition is overseen and sanctioned by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. Rocky Point was the first of 31 teams to take to the mat in Small School Division I “A,” and the squad wowed the crowd with a two-and-a-half minute routine, despite head coach Anna Spal-

lina feeling less impressed by her Eagles, which are 12-time regional and threetime national champions. “You have two and a half minutes to prove yourself out on the mat — if you don’t prove yourself in those two and a half minutes, you don’t get a second chance,” Spallina said. “You can’t go to the net again with a ball, or throw that pass one more time, so one little slip, an inch this way or an inch that way, and you can throw it away.” Pleased or not, Spallina’s squad earned first place in the division followed by Longwood, and East Islip came in third. With a team consisting of mainly eighth- and ninth-graders, and only three seniors, Rocky Point senior Courtney Kelly said the Eagles’ only competi-

tion was themselves. “We don’t worry about any other teams, we just worry about ourselves because the only routine we have to beat is ours,” she said. Brittany Reh said there are some other challenges now that cheerleading is recognized as a sport, such as a different scoring sheet and new rules, but thought her team performed well despite the changes. “We had a pretty good performance,” she said. “We stayed positive.” Comsewogue hit the mat in the second session, competing in the Small School Division I “B,” and the Warriors put on their performance as the crowd exploded in applause with their finish. But head coach Stefanie Breitfeller was just relieved that the routine was behind her, as the team had yet another hurdle to jump prior to a competition. “We had a major change this morning as I found out last night one of the girls came down with pink eye,” Breitfeller

said. “We had to replace a starter, so we came into this thinking this could go badly or it could go very well.” Comsewogue senior Rachel Steck said she thought her team performed well, but thinks that like always, there is room for improvement. “It could’ve been a little tighter, but I’m just so proud of my team,” she said.” We did our best today. We’ll practice our routine; we’ll make it harder and we’ll make it cleaner.” Claire Johannesen said her Eagles team has had better execution on the mat, too, but said the squad will continue to work hard to remain at the team’s standards. “Today was an OK performance, so we definitely have things we have to go to work on in practice,” she said. “But we did many things well that we’ll build on going forward.” The teams will reconvene on Sunday, Jan. 24, at Hauppauge High School for the second round of competition.
