Discovery, Science channels dig for Tesla tunnels Wardenclyffe site featured in search of underground tunnels



Crews looking for Nikola Tesla’s famed ‘death ray’ come up empty



BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

DISCOVERY CHANNEL

Crews working with Discovery Channel, above, dig under the Rocky Point Fire Department in Shoreham, below right, in search of underground tunnels. Hosts Rob Nelson and Stefan Burns of Science Channel’s Secrets of the Underground look over some findings. Jane Alcorn, who, along with other board members, allowed the crew to shoot on their premises last September. “But it’s been an interesting experience.” Alcorn said the site receives many requests a year from film and television companies, as well as documentarians from all over. In addition to Discovery Channel’s show, the Science Channel also recently shot and aired a two-part episode for its “Secrets of the Underground” show with the subtitle “Tesla’s Final Secrets,” which similarly tested the ground beneath the laboratory in search of clues for the death ray invention. Before filming began, Alcorn said both companies had to fill out an application, which the Tesla Science Center board reviewed to ensure its shows met their requirements for science-based content. As the programs featured testing on the grounds using magnetometers and ground-penetrating radars, they were allowed to proceed. “We can’t control what they do with their footage or what they find, but since they’re using this equipment, if they were to find anything, it was important that it is based on science and data,” Alcorn said. “Both shows were very cooperative and we had no problem with them. We had them on-site for a couple days — they would come in the morning, do

KEVIN REDDING

After detecting something under the surface of the Rocky Point Fire Department in Shoreham using ground-penetrating radar, a duo of explorers asked permission to dig a 16-foot-deep hole on the property. It was October 2017 and segments of a new Discovery Channel program “Tesla’s Death Ray: A Murder Declassified” were being filmed at the fire station, located just five minutes away from Wardenclyffe — Nikola Tesla’s last standing laboratory. With the go-ahead granted by Rocky Point Fire District Secretary Edwin Brooks, and then the rest of the district’s board, an excavation crew dug out the hole in hopes of finding the remnants of tunnels Tesla was rumored to have built under the grounds of his laboratory that connected to surrounding areas in the early 1900s. Filming and research was also conducted on the property of the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, but digging there was prohibited due to contamination on the site from previous tenants. “We were definitely interested in what’s going on, and if there were some tunnels here, we’d like to know about it,” said Brooks, who was also interviewed for the show. The multi-episode docuseries, which premiered Jan. 2 with new episodes every Tuesday, follows military investigator Jack Murphy and Tesla historian Cameron Prince on their quest to decode some of the mysteries and urban myths surrounding the Serbian-American inventor. The two aim to track down Tesla’s innovations and research that may have gone missing from his safe after he died in a hotel room in 1943 — including a supposed formula for a particle beam, or “death ray.” Murphy and Prince theorize that designing the fatal weapon could have caused someone to murder Tesla. “I think that’s really far-fetched, and I don’t believe that’s the case — it’s all very speculative,” said Tesla Science Center President

their filming and testing, and then they would leave. They were also all excellent in terms of hiring good companies, with bonafide technicians that look for voids in the ground as a means to discover whether or not there’s something underground — not just for film projects but mining companies, too.” As for Alcorn’s verdict of the shows themselves: Neither program led to any concrete discoveries, she noted, and both had the air of reality shows with repetitive material and cliffhangers before commercial breaks, which she “wasn’t crazy about.” But she said she and other board members are grateful that expensive testing was conducted and paid for by an outside company as they themselves had long been curious about what, if anything, was under the site’s surface. Now there’s a body of data that the board can examine if it wishes, she said. “It was an opportunity for us to save some money and get some information,” Alcorn said. Response to the shows has been mixed among residents. Some were happy to see Shoreham and its famous scientist represented, while others dismissed the shows as sensationalized and inaccurate. “It’s great for people to learn who [Tesla] is and bring some knowledge of Wardenclyffe to the public so we can have it turned into a proper museum and erase some of the eyesore that is there,” Wading River resident Erich

Kielburger said in a closed Shoreham-Wading River community group page on Facebook. Amanda Celikors said her 7-year-old son watched the Discovery Channel show and was fascinated by it. “He’s learned so much about Tesla and his impact on science,” she said. “We joked that the tunnels could lead to our house. I think it’s great.” But Rob Firriolo was less than impressed. “Typical reality TV trash,” he wrote on the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe Facebook page. “Contrived and melodramatic, with annoying camera work and even more annoying music trying to gin up tension where there obviously is none. … We will get hours of fluff, hype and speculation with a payoff at the end as rewarding as Geraldo [Rivera] in Al Capone’s vault.” Shoreham resident Nick Renna said in an interview he watched the Science Channel program, and enjoyed it as it shed some light on the historical value of the Wardenclyffe property. “I thought it was really cool to see our own neighborhood on television,” Renna said. “Exposure is huge for that property. When most people hear Tesla, they think about the car, but in reality, without him, there would be no electricity, remote controls, radio waves — the guy was a historymaker. And that property is an incredible asset that we’re able to call home, to some degree.”

Some residents see it as a magical place full of rich history and memories that deserves preservation. Others consider it a tax burden that should be sold. The future of Briarcliff Elementary School, a shuttered, early20th century building on Tower Hill Road in Shoreham, is currently up in the air as the school district looks to community members to weigh in on potential options. A dozen voices were heard Jan. 9 during a public forum held by Shoreham-Wading River’s board of education to decide the fate of the beloved historic school, which has sat vacant for the last three years. The nearly 27,000-square-foot manor was built in 1907, expanded on through 2007 and closed permanently in 2014 as part of the district’s restructuring plan. Administrators made it clear during the meeting that the board has no plans for the property at this time and, due to declining enrollment throughout the district, does not foresee using it for instructional purposes anytime soon — be it a pre-K or BOCES program. Board members said it will determine the best course of action for the building based on input from the community in the coming months. “The board will not be making any decisions tonight on the future of the Briarcliff Elementary School building; we’re only listening to residents statements,” board president Robert Rose said. “We recognize the importance of input from the entire community.” This year, the annual operating costs for the property are estimated to total $95,000, which are expensed through the district’s general fund and includes building and equipment maintenance, insurance and utilities, according to Glen Arcuri, assistant superintendent for finances and operations.

‘It’s a very valuable and historical asset for our village.’ — David Madigan didn’t dissuade several residents from speaking passionately about the school’s place in the history of Shoreham, pleading with the board to neither sell nor redevelop it for condominiums, as one speaker suggested. “It was such a wonderful place — the children loved the building,” said Bob Korchma, who taught at Briarcliff for a number of years. “To lose such a great part of our community for housing and any other endeavors would be crazy. It has such history, and working there was one of the best parts of my life.” Debbie Lutjen, a physical education teacher at the school for 10 years, echoed the sentiments, calling the building “special,”

Residents also pushed the idea to designate the building a historic landmark and pursue grants, potentially from U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), to restore it. David Kuck, whose son went to Briarcliff, said on top of making it a historic site, the district should turn it into a STEM center for students across Suffolk County, as it stands in the shadow of inventor Nikola Tesla’s famous Wardenclyffe Tower.

David Madigan, a Tesla Science Center board member and a former Briarcliff student, outlined the building’s history for the board — three generations of the prominent Upham family, including a veteran of the Civil War, built and owned the building in three different phases — and urged that covenants be filed on the property that says the building could never be taken down. “The exterior must be kept in its historic state,” Madigan said. “It’s a very valuable and historical asset for our village. And it’s the most important thing to preserve as a resident.” Joan Jacobs, a Shoreham resident for 40 years and former teacher, explained to the board how the building was the model for the mansion in the “Madeline” children’s books by Ludwig Bemelmans, who worked at a tavern on Woodville Road. “It’s so rich and having taught there for 14 years, having a daughter go through

KEVIN REDDING

Just days before the nation celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day and his famous dream, Errol Toulon (D) made history by taking the oath as Suffolk County sheriff, making him Long Island’s first AfricanAmerican elected official in a nonjudicial countywide position. Toulon, 55, was officially sworn in by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) Jan. 12 during an inauguration ceremony held at Van Nostrand Theater on the Brentwood campus of Suffolk County Community College. Also in attendance were his wife Christina, family members, friends and town and county elected officials, including County Executive Steve Bellone (D), recently swornin District Attorney Tim Sini (D), Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) and former sheriff Vincent DeMarco (C). A former Rikers Island corrections officer and captain who emerged victorious against Republican candidate Larry Zacarese after just two months of campaigning, Toulon entered the race determined to utilize his more than 35 years in corrections and law enforcement to tackle gangs and the opioid crisis, while creating a stronger environment within the county’s jails. “I have to say, this is a long way from

my days being a batboy with the New York Yankees,” Toulon laughed, referring to his two-year stint in the 1970s serving on the team. “For me, this race was a whirlwind, but this job is one I’ve been preparing for my entire life.” After serving at Rikers Island from 1982 to 2004, starting in 2012, Toulon worked for two years in Bellone’s administration as assistant deputy county executive for public safety. In 2014 he was named deputy commissioner of operations for the New York City Department of Corrections. In the midst of his career, he has also beaten cancer twice — in 1996 and 2004. “He is a man who has confronted great challenges in his life,” Bellone said. “I have personally seen him face these difficulties with incredible grace and dignity and fortitude. He has confronted all these challenges and has perseverance, which is exactly what you want to have in a leader. I am proud to be here today to support a friend, a colleague and a leader.” During the ceremony, Cuomo called attention to the historical significance of Toulon’s victory. “It says something about the people of Suffolk County, says something about the progress of society, says something about acceptance and it says that we’re one step closer to Martin Luther King’s dream of one day judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin,” Cuomo said. “This sheriff is different in a number of ways, but the first precedent he sets is that he’s the most qualified man to ever serve in this position. I am selfishly overjoyed by Sheriff Toulon’s election because in government, job number one is public safety.” Toulon assured the cheering audience he is committed to making the county a better and safer place for all, with plans

He also said the office, under his leadership, will routinely participate in community events, civic association meetings and will do everything in its power to prevent young people from going down the wrong path. “I am ready to work and I am ready to

lead,” Toulon said. “We have to ensure that we deliver as a society and assist those who need help and keep those who do harm off our streets. These gangs might think they’re tough, these gang members might think they have all the answers and can outsmart us, but they’re going to have a lot of time to think about their decisions when they’re sitting behind bars because they were no match for the men and women in the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office.”

Systematic STEM skill enhancements In an effort to boost students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills, teachers at Miller Avenue and Wading River schools are working collaboratively to develop engaging science, technology, engineering and mathematics activities during STEM planning workshops. The professional development days are led by Amy Meyer, the district’s STEM director, who plans and facilitates the meetings to give teachers the opportunity to discuss and strategize the elementary math and science curriculum, plan grade-level STEM challenges and map out the new science units aligned to the New York State Science Learning Standards.

During a recent workshop at Miller Avenue School, the teachers worked in groups of four to complete a challenge that they will eventually introduce to their students. Each team received a stack of plastic cups and rubber bands and were instructed to make a pyramid without touching the cups. The challenge was a simple and fun concept for the educators as they worked together to solve their problem. The idea is to help students build an understanding of how to tackle challenges methodically, modify ideas that may not work and help reinforce teamwork to make connections among engineering, science and math.

there, there’s an awful lot there,” an emotional Jacobs said. “It’s a shame to throw away our history.” Both Bob Sweet and Barbara Cohen, members of Shoreham Village, advocated that the school be redeveloped as a residence for seniors in the area. “I care about this building and sorely miss the school buses coming up the road to drop the grade schoolers off,” Sweet said. “I admonish you don’t sell the property and explore the notion of turning this into condos for retired village members.” But Colette Grosso, a special education

Gennaoui, Dylan Abad, Danielle Abad Moser, Nick Moser and Brandon Abad; and cherished great-grandfather of Kylie Connolly and Teagan Connolly. Abad was a Local 25 electrician, a proud veteran of the Korean War and a member of the Masonic Lodge, his longtime passion. Initiated in 1963, he became a master of Suffolk Lodge 60 in 1969, and raised to the Grand Lodge of New York in 1978. Appointed as a trustee of the Grand Lodge in 2001, Abad served through 2016, then receiving the prestigious title of Emeritus. He also loved boating, sport shooting and spending time with family and friends. He was a wonderful person and will be truly missed. Services were held at St. Gerard Majella R.C. Church in Port Jefferson Station. Abad was afforded full military honors at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Mount Sinai. Arrangements were entrusted to the Bryant Funeral Home of East Setauket.

Dennis McNamara

Dennis McNamara, 60, of Rocky Point, died surrounded by his loving sons Dec. 31. Born in Brooklyn, he was the son of Dorothy McNamara (O’Brien) and the late Joseph McNamara. McNamara was the fifth of seven children and was raised in Massapequa Park. On May 25, 1991, McNamara welcomed his twin sons Timothy and Brian McNamara into the world. He was a devoted son, loving and compassionate father, caring sibling and loyal friend. He was a dedicated and passionate manager at Quality King Distributors where he worked for over 40 years. He was well respected by all for his work ethic, sense of humor and charisma. He always acted with a kind heart, helping others, expecting nothing in return. In his spare time, he was also an avid fan of the Mets, the Islanders and the Giants. He is survived by sons Timothy and Brian; mother Dorothy, and his six siblings Kevin, Timothy, Jeannie, Maureen, Mary and Patricia. Funeral Mass was celebrated at St. Louis de Montfort R.C. Church in Sound Beach. Interment followed at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Coram. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of McNamara to Suffolk County SPCA at P.O. Box 6100, Hauppauge, NY 11788. Arrangements were entrusted to the Branch Funeral Home of Miller Place.

aide at Miller Avenue School, said she hopes the community works toward a solution where the building remains an asset within the district for educational purposes as opposed to housing. “All-day day- and after-care services could be done there, and there are other organizations besides BOCES that would love to use the facility to serve special education, which is an underserved population,” Grosso said. “If we sell, it’s a one-time influx of cash and we’re never going to get it back again. I think we should work together to keep it as an asset for Shoreham-Wading River.” Further discussions with community members on Briarcliff will occur at the next board of education meeting Feb. 13 in the high school auditorium at 7 p.m.

Eagles fly high with another league title Rocky Point wrestlers easily outscore Amityville, Westhampton

Compete in county dual playoffs

 

BY JIM FERCHLAND

JIM FERCHLAND

These Eagles are flying high. Like the opportunistic foragers they represent, Rocky Point’s wrestlers saw how close they were to another undefeated league season, and grabbed it by easily outscoring Amityville and Westhampton Beach to finish the season 6-0.

“Our team has been grinding throughout the year,” senior captain Ryan Callahan said. “We’ve had a lot of tough matches, we’ve had some tough teams we’ve battled, but every team will get their bumps and bruises.” Amityville had to bow out of six matches — weight classes 99 to 132 — giving Rocky Point a 36-point lead right out of the gate on the way to a 74-9 victory Jan. 10. Sal Aprile pinned Amityville’s Nestor Rivera in the 182-pound weight class to give Rocky Point 67 consecutive points. “It’s a rarity, but not so much with Amityville,” Rocky Point head coach Darren Goldstein said of the multiple forfeits. Callahan (22-4 at 138 pounds) and Don Hammarth (16-1 at 145 pounds) won by technical falls, outscoring their opponents by 15 points for automatic wins. Callahan said Goldstein has taught him everything he knows about wrestling. “I’ve been around him since I was 5 years old,” Callahan said. “He taught me everything about the sport, everything about competing. He taught me great sportsmanship and to enjoy sports.” Rob Pliska gave the Eagles four points with a major decision over Amityville’s Angel Zavala, 8-0, at 152 pounds, and Corey Connolly won 5-0 at 160 pounds. The Eagles only continued their winning ways at Westhampton Jan. 11 with another dominant win. Mickey Gold, Justin Amendola, Anthony

Don Hammarth, above, controls his Amityville challenger. Ryan Callahan, on left, walks off the mat after a victory. Sciotto and Darren Ketcham each pinned their challengers, which alone would have handed Rocky Point sole possession of the League VI title. Rocky Point won the dual meet 67-12. Callahan and Connolly teched their opponents, and Hammarth pulled out an 11-3 major decision. “We’ve had a share of the league title for the last seven years straight,” Goldstein said. “We are proud, but we set big goals in the beginning. We work year round.”

Rocky Point finishes the regular season 11-1 overall, with the sole loss being to League V’s Eastport-South Manor the first meet of the season. Goldstein is proud to see how his grapplers bounced back, giving it their all at each meet thereafter. He’s looking forward to seeing what his Eagles can do in the Suffolk County brackets. “We didn’t wrestle our best to EastportSouth Manor, but we’ve been rolling ever since,” Goldstein said. “When the county dual comes, you can’t run away.”

Scutaro, Tyrrell sisters secure national title for Mustangs lax BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

FROM AL BERTOLONE

The Mustangs will remain in good hands this spring. The Mount Sinai indoor girls lacrosse team, led by sister sets Meaghan and Emma Tyrrell on offense and Meaghan and Kristen Scutaro on defense, claimed the school’s first national title this month. The Mustangs outlasted Bishop Ireton, Virginia’s BIGLax 13-12, in a sudden-death victory in the final Jan. 7, to grab gold at the second annual high school IL Women Indoor Lacrosse National Championship. “My girls played six games in two days and were warriors,” head coach Al Bertolone said. “They played hard and never wavered — came back from being behind in the final — it was great to see them win because they are the first Long Island team to win this tournament and to beat No. 1 McDonogh.” Mount Sinai, the tournament’s No. 5 seed, was one of eight teams to advance out of pool play, going 3-0 to get to the quarterfinals. Over that stretch, the Mustangs scored 59 goals and let up 36. The team advanced to the semifinals with a 17-11 win over North Fork and beat McDonogh, Maryland’s Orange Crush, last year’s finalist, 13-12, to advance to the championship game. “This really tested our team offensively and defensively, and our team definitely rose to the occasion, which is huge for us so early in the season,” senior Meaghan Scutaro said. “To beat the No. 1 team,

McDonogh, has always been a goal of our Gun, five future Syracuse University teamteam since I was in eighth grade.

We were all tired ing against future Orange from playing such amazing teammates. “It’s great to teams, but we were excited play with them.” and knew that we wouldn’t Senior star Meaghan come this far to not win.” Tyrrell’s lefty finish shined Bertolone pointed to the at attack, and her sister sister bonds as the glue that was consistently found — Al Bertolone unguarded at the 8-meholds his team together. The competition had an ter mark. Blocking by the added dose of intrigue as in the Mustangs’ University of Notre Dame-bound Scutaro first game of the tournament, against Run n’ twins, and blocking in goal by Sienna

‘My girls played six games in two days and were warriors. They played hard and never wavered.’

Massullo (2018, Pace University) and Emily Lamparter (2021, University of Maryland) also impressed. “You know exactly how your sister plays, and you can depend on her to help you finish plays, which works in our favor having sisters on the offense and defense,” Meaghan Scutaro said. Seeing the chemistry continue to build now is just a taste of what’s to come this season when the Mustangs head outdoors, and, at the collegiate level. “The culture we have established combined with the friendships they have, has created a bond that is family-based,” Bertolone said. “It’s unreal how connected we are.”

Scouting Neighborhoods A

s you search for your next home, scouting potential neighborhoods should be a crucial step in your house search.

It is important to get a sense of a new neighborhood to ensure it complements your preferred lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and your wallet. So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve walked through a potential home and parked in its driveway; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only achieved a glimpse of the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characteristic and personality. Really getting to know a neighborhood requires a little extra time and attention. TEST DRIVE YOUR COMMUTE Before deciding on a new home, take a test

drive of your potential commute. How far are you willing to drive back and forth to work each day? It can be easy to assume an answer to this question, but it is entirely different to actually live it. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfectâ&#x20AC;? place may not seem so perfect if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like you spend much time there. TAKE A WALK AFTER SCHOOL Walking your new potential neighborhood is a great way to get a feel for it. Take your stroll soon after schools get out and see how many children are walking around, how traffic picks up (or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t), and just generally how active your neighbors are during the day.

Are there restaurants, cafes or shops near by? A lot of through traffic? All these things will help you gauge the atmosphere in the neighborhood. COUNT â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;FOR SALEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; SIGNS Drive through the streets of a neighborhood and count the number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;for saleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;foreclosureâ&#x20AC;? signs. Are there multiple signs down a single street? While this could just be a coincidence in terms of changes of life circumstances for a group of neighbors, this also could be a sign of a potential issue. You want to be sure you are investing in a stable neighborhood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not one that is about to turn a corner. ÂŠ99098

Architecture Guide HOME FEATURES: arches, columns, dormers, roofs, windows, classic molding RESIDENTIAL STYLES: Art Deco – Homes built in this style feature geometric elements and a vertically oriented design. California Bungalow – A forerunner of the Craftsman style, California Bungalows offer rustic exteriors, sheltered-feeling interiors, and spacious front porches. Cape Cod – A true classic, Cape Cod homes – square or rectangular one-story structures with gabled roofs and unornamented fronts – were among America’s first houses. Colonial – An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, Colonial homes feature a rectangular, symmetric design, second-floor bedrooms, clapboard siding, and gabled roofs. Contemporary – Unmistakably modern in feel, Contemporary style homes are identifiable by their odd-sized windows, lack of ornamentation, and unusual mix of wall materials. Craftsman – Full or partial-width porches framed by tapered columns, overhanging eaves, and exposed roof rafters differentiate a Craftsman home from the similar California Bungalow. Creole – A front wall that recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony highlights the Creole Cottage design. Dutch Colonial – German, or “Deutsch”, settlers in Pennsylvania originated the Dutch Colonial style, dominated by a barn-like broad gambrel roof with flaring eaves.

Federal – This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek Roman culture, as its classical ornamentation around cornices, doors, and windows demonstrates. French Provincial – Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which includes a steep hip roof; balcony and porch balustrades; and rectangular doors set in arched openings. Georgian – Refined and symmetrical with paired chimneys and a decorative crown, Georgian houses were named after English royalty. Gothic Revival – English romanticism influenced this style marked by “Gothic” windows with pointed arches; exposed framing timbers; and steep, vaulted roofs. Greek Revival – Large porches, entryway columns, and a front door surrounded by narrow rectangular windows characterize Greek Revival homes. International – The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts, ground-to-ceiling plate glass windows, and smooth facades. Italianate – Symmetrical bay windows in front; small chimneys set in irregular locations; tall, narrow, windows; and in some cases towers, typify Italianate houses. Monterey – The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an adobe brick exterior and a second floor with a balcony. National – Rooted in Native American and pre-railroad dwellings, the National style consists of a rectangular shape with sidegabled roofs or square layouts with pyramidal roofs.

Neoclassical – Recognize Neoclassical homes, which exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses, by their Ionic or Corinthian-columned porches. Prairie – Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style house comes in two styles--boxy and symmetrical or low-slung and asymmetrical. Pueblo – Flat roofs, parapet walls with round edges, straight-edge window frames, earth-colored stucco or adobe-brick walls, and projecting roof beams typify Pueblos. Queen Anne – Emerging in the late Victorian era, the style employs inventive, multistory floor plans that often include projecting wings, several porches and balconies, and multiple chimneys with decorative chimney pots. Ranch – Similar to the Spanish Colonial, Prairie, and Craftsman styles, Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, wood or brick exterior walls, siding, and picture windows. Regency – Although they borrow from the Georgian’s classic lines, Regency homes eschew ornamentation. They’re symmetrical, two or three stories, and usually built in brick. Typically, they feature an octagonal window over the front door, one chimney at the side of the house, double-hung windows, and a hip roof. Saltbox – This New England Colonial style gained the Saltbox nickname because its sharply sloping gable roof resembled boxes used for storing salt. Second Empire – A Victorian style, Second Empire homes feature mansard roofs with dormer windows, molded cornices, and dec-

orative brackets under the eaves. Shed – A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with multiple roofs sloping in different directions, which creates several geometric shapes. Shingle – An American style that echoes the Queen Anne, Shingle style is distinguished by unadorned doors, windows, porches, and cornices; continuous wood shingles; a steeply pitched roof line; and large porches. Shotgun – Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door of this long, narrow home. The style is characterized by a single story with a gabled roof. Spanish Eclectic – Taking its cues from early Spanish missions, Spanish Eclectic then adds a dash of details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles. Split Level – A Modern style, Split Level design sequesters certain living activities, such as sleeping or socializing. Stick – Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards characterize Stick houses, which are members of the Victorian family. Tudor – Half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more steeply pitched cross gables typify Tudor homes. Victorian – Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture often incorporated decorative details such as brackets, spindles and patterned shingles.

OPINION Editorial

ALEX PETROSKI

While Democrats and Republicans squabble over reaching an agreement to raise the debt ceiling in the hopes of funding the government beyond Jan. 19, peoples’ lives are hanging in the balance. Debt ceiling battles that come down to the 11th hour are nothing new in Washington. As is wont to happen in our nation’s capital, a highstakes game of chicken is currently underway. Democrats are seeking a resolution to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative while the Republicans want additional border security, which will also serve as much-needed political points for President Donald Trump (R), who promised his supporters a secure border during the 2016 campaign. While political games often have real-life consequences, this time feels different. DACA was meant to be a temporary fix during the Obama administration to answer the complicated question regarding what to do about children brought to the United States by adults coming here illegally. It provided temporary status for approximately 800,000 people — commonly referred to as Dreamers — who fit this description, though a permanent answer to the question is still being sought. The Trump administration rescinded the action in September and, ever since, Dreamers have lived in fear of deportation from a country that has become home. Now, their status is a pawn in a political game of chess. Similarly, reauthorization of CHIP — the Children’s Health Insurance Program — is awaiting a government funding agreement. The service provides lowcost health coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid. In 2016, nearly 9 million children were enrolled in the program, according to www.medicaid. gov. The program covers routine checkups and immunizations, doctor visits, prescriptions, dental and vision care and emergency services for enrollees. In November 2017, the House passed a five-year reauthorization bill to keep the program running, but it never reached the Senate floor. The health of 9 million children hangs in limbo while politicians try to score points for their home team. Obviously, for far more reasons than the fate of DACA or CHIP, a compromise needs to be reached in order to keep the government running. Taking a funding battle to the wire is nothing new, but it is shameful that leadership from both parties are allowing these vulnerable members of our society to twist in the wind for months on end along the way. For Democrats, erecting a border wall, or fence, to appease the president and score him a political win in exchange for a sensible resolution to DACA — and an end to the torturous waiting — would not be the end of the world. For Republicans, do 800,000 people who have contributed to our society need to be uprooted and sent home? While we wait for both sides to grow up and compromise, families with sick kids and those looking to live the American Dream are likely going through incomprehensibly difficult times. A little compromise and compassion would go a long way.

KEVIN REDDING

On funding and freedom

Letters to the editor

In green v. green fight, we can have both Kevin Redding’s article [Green v. Green] in The Village Beacon Record’s Jan. 4 edition on Gov. Cuomo’s veto of a bill that would have preserved some 1,200 acres of woodlands in Shoreham and Mastic hits the nail on the head. It’s bad environmental policy to destroy precious forest for the construction of solar factories, which belong on rooftops, in parking lots and on previously cleared land. We don’t have to choose between precious woodlands and the pure water that lies beneath them on the one hand and solar energy on the other. We can have both. Alas, Citizens Campaign for the Environment and the New York

League of Conservation Voters lobbied Cuomo to veto the bill, which was introduced by New York State Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee Chairman Steve Englebright and state Sen. Ken LaValle. And the bill was vetoed. To Cuomo’s credit, he has vowed to keep working for a solution, and Englebright and LaValle have already reintroduced the bill. True environmentalists are working to identify a more appropriate location for needed solar — one that doesn’t destroy precious forest. This isn’t the first time that CCE has targeted Pine Barrens for destruction. The group supported a 195-acre solar project in

the Pine Barrens at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2011. CCE keeps saying that the first priority for land is preservation. Yet, in both cases, the group lobbied for destruction of land instead of directing solar to where it belongs. We call on Cuomo, the state assembly and state senate, as well as town and county governments to direct needed solar energy to more appropriate sites. CCE and NYLCV should join that effort and not campaign for forest destruction.

Richard Amper Executive Director Long Island Pine Barrens Society

LI plea: Extend protections for Salvadorans To members of Congress: We write to you as representatives for Long Island to express our concern over the recent decision by the federal administration to end the Temporary Protected Status program for those individuals from El Salvador. The decision by the administration to terminate TPS for over more than 14,700 Salvadorans on Long Island will place thousands of Long Island families, and our local economy, at risk. We respectfully ask that you take immediate action to address this urgent threat to our region. The TPS decision could ultimately result in a massive economic hit to Long Island. A recent analysis performed by the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning shows that the removal of Salvadoran TPS holders on Long Island would result in an $800 million loss in household spending to our region on an annual basis. The analysis

also shows a reduction of $1.4 billion in economic output, $395 million in reduced earnings, a potential loss of nearly 13,500 jobs, and an $860 million hit in reduced gross domestic product. If the broader economic impact was not bad enough, the individual blow to homeowners is even worse. There are nearly 4,000 Salvadoran TPS residents who hold mortgages in Nassau and Suffolk counties. A conservative assumption of $150,000 per mortgage would result in $594 million in loans that could go unpaid and result in those homes going up for auction or adding to the “zombie” home challenge we’re already combating. Worst of all, the timing of this decision adds insult to injury. As you know, Congress recently passed a devastating tax bill that caps the state and local tax deductions for homeowners. Experts agree that this will raise taxes on middle-class families while

reducing home property values. Therefore, the decision to allow TPS to sunset for other homeowners will exacerbate the negative impact to the housing market and create a one-two punch that we cannot afford. We urge you to support and champion a legislative solution to keep thousands of Long Island families and taxpayers here. Simply put, it is time for Congress to come together and finally pass comprehensive immigration reform that fixes our broken system, secures our border and provides a pathway to citizenship for those seeking to live the American Dream. We urge you to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to advance this priority for the people of Nassau and Suffolk counties.

OPINION

On becoming older than my father

ow old were you when you kissed your first partner, had your first alcoholic drink, met the person of your dreams, had your first child, dealt with your first serious loss, got your first big job or made your first million? We can use age to motivate us, give us a sense of time and place, and allow us to hear the alarm bells, or to hit the snooze button for the next phase of our lives. We compare ourselves to those around us to see if we’re approaching the landmarks at the By Daniel Dunaief right pace. We take pride in our accomplishments, or in the accomplishments of our children, as in, “My son started walking when he was 7 months old.”

D. None of the above

The comparisons often start with our parents, even though we come from a different generation. I wasn’t anywhere close to getting married at the same age as my parents were when they wed. I thought about that when I passed that landmark age. Was I moving too slowly? Was I missing something or someone? Was I falling behind? I took comfort in knowing that I lived at a different time. Then again, I also passed the age at which my brother got married. Did I need to do a hard target search of every outhouse, henhouse and farmhouse to find my fugitive wife? Fortunately, the answer had nothing to do with age. I could have married other women, but I hadn’t met the right person. Before my wife and I got married, we were in sync about when we wanted to try to make that wonderfully challenging transition toward parenthood. Now, as the years have passed and our children have learned to drive

the car — and us crazy — we have reached other milestone ages. They have celebrated academic landmarks, graduating from elementary and middle schools while working their way through high school. Our milestone birthday numbers don’t come as frequently as 16, 18, 21, and 25 do for our kids. But, every so often, we hit a number that has significance either on its own, ending in a zero or a five, or because of some family connection. I am approaching just such a challenging milestone. My father was this old when he died. I know there are people like Mickey Mantle, who expected to live a relatively short life. Mantle’s grandfather died at 60 and his father passed away at 40, both from Hodgkin disease. In the event, the baseball legend lived until he was nearly 64. At every annual physical, my doctor and I review my family history. We are aware of the diseases that may be lurking somewhere in my genes. It

makes sense to monitor my health and to catch anything early, particularly something that may run in the family. Still, I don’t share Mantle’s sense of predestination, just as I didn’t feel an overwhelming urge to grab the nearest woman I found relatively unobjectionable because I had to get married at the same age as my parents or my brother. My life doesn’t come with a playbook or a chapter outline. Maybe I would have made more money by now, reached more personal milestones, or run a few more marathons — OK, one — if I’d recognized all the age-related alarm bells. Then again, if I had, I would have missed out on knowing my wife and our children, three people whose lives enrich and define my own. So, yes, while I keep an eye on the genetic footprints in the sand ahead of me, I also hope to follow my own compass as I imagine the days ahead when I become older than my father.

More perilous than skiing was the fog

he recent frigid weather was good training to harden us for our trip north this past weekend. We went high up in the Green Mountains of Vermont to ski. Now before you wonder at my sanity, I hasten to repeat what my clever neighbor told me when he heard we were going. “Skiing? Just hang out at the bar for a couple of days, then come back and tell us you went skiing. We’ll never know.” So with proper full disclosure, I confess that I did not ski. I By Leah S. Dunaief stretched out before a roaring fire in the lodge with a good book that was interrupted only occasionally for some good food and a good nap here and there. But my children and grandchildren skied and dutifully reported back at the end of each day in such vivid detail

Between you and me

that I felt like I had swooshed down from the summit but without the cold and the half-hour wait on the lift lines to get there. Now don’t get me wrong. I always loved to ski. Why else would I have put up with the long drives, the absurd boots, the itchy hats and the running nose except for those few exhilarating moments when the view of the valley below from above the snow line is spectacular, the air is sharp and clear, the snow sparkles with sunlight in an unbroken trail before me and the deep silence assures me that the splendor is mine alone. That said, age has its advantages, and I stayed warm and dry, letting subsequent generations enjoy the marvel of skiing. We were there to celebrate my middle son’s 50th birthday. It became a tradition in our family, when my oldest son turned 50, that we would gather at the location of his choosing to properly mark the occasion together. This trip was not without its dangers but not from skiing. It was the drive up to the slopes on Friday that kept us on the edge of our seats in the car, peering into the

darkness. If you remember, the day began uncharacteristically warm, but as the hours went by, a deep freeze descended from the north and pushed into the warmer air, creating dense fog. We crossed the Sound on the ferry, unable to see the shores, and actually missed the turnoff to the Merritt Parkway and thence Interstate 91 from Route 8 on the Connecticut side because the fog shrouded the signs above our heads on the roadway. That wasn’t of any great consequence as we continued on Route 8 to Interstate 84 East, a slightly longer stretch, but it did serve to warn us of what lay ahead. We drove for the next couple of hours and the fog only seemed to intensify, but we were in good spirits anticipating the coming weekend’s festivities. We even stopped for a nice German dinner in Springfield, Massachusetts. What difference would a couple of extra hours make, we rationalized, since it was going to be dark anyway by the time we left the highway? Initially driving wasn’t so difficult on Route 103, the first of the

back-country roads, because there were other cars snaking along, marking the contours of the road with the glow of red taillights. At one point a bus joined the parade in front of us, and that was dandy. The real problems started when we turned onto Route 100 and left the bus behind. So dense was the fog that we missed the turn and had to circle back for a second try. We were all alone from that point on, sometimes inching our way forward, straining to follow the yellow midline. Snowbanks lined the road, with only an occasional reflective marker to indicate a precipice off to the side. In that fashion, our hazard lights blinking noisily in the car to avoid anyone colliding with us, we traveled the next 24 miles. We knew we were climbing because our ears popped periodically, but we could see nothing of the mountains. We finally arrived at our lodging, a couple of hours later, in a glazed-eye stupor. After that, simply skiing was a piece of cake. Birthday cake, that is.
