Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker has won back her seat after a hard-fought battle that began on Election Day, when the polls closed with her leading her challenger by only one vote. After absentee ballots were counted, the 6th District legislator expanded her lead to 17 votes, ending a race on Thursday that had originally been projected to drag through Thanksgiving. “It’s been a very intense race,” Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said. “I’ve had so many people come up to me, claiming that they were that one vote, and I am greatly appreciative and thankful that my supporters did go out there and vote. The bottom line is that every single vote counts.” First-time Republican challenger Steve Tricarico, a deputy superintendent for the Town of Brookhaven Highway Department, said although the results

were not what he preferred, he would continue to be a voice in his community. “This is a great civics lesson,” he said. “We ran a good race, a clean race, an honest race, and I’m just glad that a lot of the positions that we took throughout the campaign have gotten out there. I grew up here, I live here, I’m raising my family here in the 6th District and I will continue to be an advocate for those issues that I feel are most important to the residents.” Tricarico said he called Anker to congratulate her and wish her luck in her new two-year term, but also said he voiced his desire for the incumbent to think about some of the issues he focused on in his campaign, such as the local cost of living and public safety. Anker will start her sixth year in office in January, in an area that frequently elects candidates from the opposite party — 6th ANKER continued on page A7

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

Rocky Point School Board denies claims in NYS audit By Giselle Barkley

Despite the New York State Comptroller’s audit report, Rocky Point school district is sticking to their guns. Last week, on Nov. 19, New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli released completed audits of four school districts, including Rocky Point. In the audit, he claimed that the school district exceeded the four percent statutory limit on its fund balance between July 1, 2013 and March 31 of this year. According to the audit, during the 2009-10 to 2013-14 fiscal years, the Board at the time had accumulated $13.1 million. However, the district only used $1.2 million, and experienced a surplus in their unrestricted fund balance. Rocky Point’s Superintendent, Michael Ring, said this fund is utilized in emergency situations where the district cannot afford necessary expenditures — this includes funding programs or accommodating a special needs child, among other reasons. Ring refuted the comptroller’s financial report. “Bottom line for us is that if we were over the four percent, our external auditors would be required to report that,” Ring said in a phone interview. But the Superintendent said no such claims were filed. He added that the

143450

Comptroller’s odd method of counting the school’s fund balance is unusual, as excess money from one school year is added to the previous year’s closing bonds. Ring mentioned that the Comptroller acknowledged the district’s fund balance was below four percent within that time period. Now, the district is between 5.4 to 7.8 percent, according to the Comptroller’s report. Taxpayer dollars contribute to the district’s unregistered fund balance. An excess of money in this fund means taxpayer dollars go to waste. Ring assured meeting attendees that is not the case for the district. For Rocky Point school board members, acquiring funds for the unrestricted fund balance is a guessing game. The school district must base their fund balance amount on possible future expenditures that the school may not be able to afford without this fund balance. Typically, the district budgets its money conservatively. The district’s actual expenditures are within 0.2 percent of what they budgeted. Some community members weren’t phased by the Comptroller’s report. When asked about it, Rocky Point resident Mary Heely said she was surprised by the news. She stood by the Superintendent’s word that the district didn’t exceed the statutory limit of its unrestricted fund balance. With the failure of the district’s bond, Heely, like some

other community members, had other financial issues on her mind. “According to Mr. Callahan,” said Heely, referring to Rocky Point Board of Education member Sean Callahan, “we

may be in serious trouble if there was a major event in this district. I think that’s the bigger concern at this point, as far as the lack of funds that could be necessary in the future.”

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

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

Anker Continued from page A1

District voters have consistently supported Conservative Councilwoman Jane Bonner for Brookhaven Town Board and Anker’s predecessor was Republican Dan Losquadro, who vacated his seat to become a state assemblyman and then later the town highway superintendent. “People ask me why I put myself through the stress to run a very competitive campaign, and my answer would be because I love to help people, and I want to continue to do that job; people underestimate what I can do and what I can get done,” Anker said. “I think during the counting of the absentee votes, the GOP was quite surprised. They expected to win a number of votes over in the senior community, but I gained a lot of support there because I worked really hard in that area to help them with their problems and to help them with concerns and issues.” Tricarico said he is back to focusing on his job at the highway department, and that with results showing that nearly half of the people in the 6th District are looking for change, he will not be closing the door on a future run. Joking that she will be taking some much-needed time off, Anker said she is also ready to move forward with projects she’s been working on, such as those geared toward keeping young professionals on Long Island by erecting affordable housing and connecting college

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

During the meeting, attendees, which included district administrators, representatives from community support organizations, elected officials and parents, were informed of the previous efforts the district has taken with regard to the topic, as well as data obtained from a student assessment survey and focus group discussions.

One North Shore lawmaker’s proposal to provide housing to homeless veterans is now being used as a model for a federal bill. U.S. Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) introduced the Housing Our Heroes Act this month, which creates a three-year federal pilot program that provides grants to purchase and renovate zombie homes for veterans use. That proposal reflects similar sentiments expressed in legislation Suffolk County Legislator Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills) drafted last year. The Housing Our Homeless Heroes Act, signed by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) in December 2014, allows for “zombie homes,” or tax-defaulted properties, in Suffolk County to be distributed to veterans. “No soldier who has ever worn the uniform of our great nation and gone off to protect the ground we stand on should ever have to come home to sleep on it,” Stern said in a statement. Israel’s legislation is an expansion on an act from Stern, who serves as chairman of the Legislature’s Veterans and Seniors Committee. “My legislation will not only put a roof over our heroes’ heads, it will also transform unsightly zombie homes into renovated properties that will revitalize housing markets in many of our Long Island communities,” Israel said in a statement. “Whenever we get the opportunity to eliminate two problems with one sustainable solution, we should act on it.” Israel’s proposal would make grants available to veteran service organizations, non-governmental organizations and homeless organizations. It is intended to not only house homeless veterans but also eliminate blight from neighborhoods, the lawmaker said. Stern praised Israel’s legislation for helping to ensure “that our military heroes have a place to call home while turning blighted properties into houses fit for heroes.” According to Stern, he and Israel always saw his act as a model to use at the federal level. “I’m proud to say we implemented it at a local level,” Stern said in a phone interview. “What we started here is serving as a national model.” One of the big differences between Stern and Israel’s acts is the funding. Stern said that, at the local level, they are utilizing properties the government already owns because of foreclosure. Israel’s legislation doesn’t need to rely on those types of homes because of the funding they receive from grants, so “there is real opportunity for innovation with the spectrum of properties.”

He also said these two bills will complement each other going forward. Approximately 50,000 homeless veterans are on the streets of the United States every day, including more than 2,500 in New York, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Blighted properties have been an ongoing issue in Huntington Town. “Huntington residents have been dealing with the zombie home epidemic in our neighborhoods for far too long,” Huntington Councilwoman Tracey Edwards (D) said in a statement. Edwards said Israel’s legislation would improve both the lives of veterans and the worth of Huntington residents’ homes. At a press conference announcing Israel’s proposal on Nov. 9, Gina Raio Bitsimis, a Dix Hills resident and zombie home neighbor, thanked Israel for his commitment to tackle this problem. “Zombie homes aren’t only eyesores in our neighborhood, they are actively reducing the value of our homes that we have worked so hard to maintain,” Bitsimis said in a statement. “My family and I will welcome these brave men and women into our neighborhood with open arms and look forward to the increase of both our quality of life and the value of our property.” Huntington Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) previously drafted legislation to crack down on blighted properties and said in a phone interview that the zombie house in Dix Hills, where the press conference was held, was the exact house that inspired her to draft an anti-blight act. “I saw the condition of the house and how it affected the neighbors,” she said. Her legislation includes a point system that determines if a property should be added to the town blight list and enters a restoration agreement with the town. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development also said that in 2009 that the homeless veteran population was more than 74,000 in a single night and last year more than one in ten of every homeless adult were veterans. At the press conference in Dix Hills, members of veteran organizations from Long Island spoke about the necessity of the bill. “Placing homeless veterans in these homes will give them the opportunity and foundation they need to become independent successful members of our community,” said Frank Amalfitano, director of United Veterans Beacon House. Beth Gabellini, regional director of Long Island Supportive Services for Veteran Families echoed the sentiment. “After fighting for our country, veterans deserve every opportunity possible to help get back on their feet and on track.”

The teammates spent weeks preparing for their visit to the shelter, collecting items like hats, gloves, rain ponchos and baked homemade goodies like cookies, brownies

and muffins. Additionally, they collected left over Halloween candy to make treat bags for the homeless and purchased over 50 gift cards to give as Thanksgiving and holiday gifts. During their visit, students set up the shelter’s beds, set the dinning table and packed lunches for the next day. They spent time at the shelter preparing the site for the homeless, making it look festive for those that need a safe place to stay. The teams’ coaches said the teams have plans to return to volunteer again in March.

Leading up to the initiative, the club discussed the importance of assisting others and the big changes that they

can make even at such a young age. “It makes me feel good because I know the donations are going to help families who don’t have enough food,” said Kyle Contri. The donations were sorted and boxed by the club before being donated to several local food pantries.

Shoreham scores second straight Suffolk title Football

Shoreham-WR . . . . . 24 Elwood-John Glenn . 14 By Bill landon

Since November 2013, all the ShorehamWading River football team has known is how to win football games, and although the Wildcats had their hands full with No. 2 Elwood-John Glenn, the team was able to grind out a win, 24-14, for the Suffolk County Division IV title Thursday night at Stony Brook University’s LaValle Stadium. “When you work hard, this is what you get — a county championship,” ShorehamWading River junior quarterback Kevin Cutinella said. “It’s been a battle throughout the season. We’ll watch film and practice late to prepare for the Long Island championship the same way we did for this game.” Amid rain and harsh winds, ElwoodJohn Glenn lined up in punt formation after a three-and-out, and snapped the ball to the punt protector, who was unable to handle the wet ball, and the Wildcats pounced on it, recovering the fumble at the nine-yard line. Two plays later, Cutinella punched in for the touchdown, and with the extra point good, helped put his team out front 7-0 at the 8:42 mark of the first quarter.

With the Knights unable to answer, the Wildcats were on the move again. On the first play from scrimmage, senior running back Chris Rosati drove the ball down to the nine-yard line with just over four minutes remaining in the stanza. Two plays later, Rosati pounded his way into the end zone for the score, and with senior kicker Daniel Mahoney’s extra-point attempt successful, the Wildcats edged ahead 14-0. On Elwood-John Glenn’s ensuing possession, Chris Forsberg almost went the distance as he broke free of tacklers and

covered 81 yards. Shihan Rudyk finished it as he punched it in from three yards out to put the Knights on the scoreboard. With the point-after attempt good, Elwood-John Glenn trailed 14-7 with 7:37 left in the half. The Knights struck again soon after, when quarterback Wayne White found Kyle Tiernan for a 25-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 14-14 heading into the break. The rain intensified and the wind picked up in the second half, leaving both teams struggling for traction in the third quarter. After an injury timeout, Shoreham-

Wading River senior Jason Curran took over under center, but it was Mahoney who helped his team score next, as he attempted a 33-yard field goal in the fourth. The senior made it look easy, as he split the uprights to put his team out front, 17-14. According to the kicker, it wasn’t as easy at it looked. “It was like kicking a rock,” he said, adding that he was exhilarated to see the ball go between the posts. “It felt like my leg was 10 pounds heavier and the ball was 10 pounds heavier.” With five minutes left on the clock, the Wildcats added insurance points when Curran handed off to Rosati, who did what he’s done all season, grinding up the middle for the touchdown. With Mahoney perfect on the evening, Shoreham-Wading River put the game away 24-14. “We put in the right kids in the right spots,” Shoreham-Wading River assistant coach Hans Wiederkehr said. “We were able to make plays at the right time.” The Wildcats advance to the Long Island Championship, where the team will take on Locust Valley on Friday at Hofstra University. Kickoff is scheduled for noon. “We’ve got a lot of homework to do, because we’ve never seen them before,” Wiederkehr said. “But we’re going to get right back to what got us here — practicing hard, watching film.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

These are a few of our favorite things

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

Happy Thanksgiving!

There are many devices for using drugs.

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

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

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

Taking Time to be Thankful for the Trivial

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

Shop locally for holiday specials this year

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

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

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

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

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

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