Looking at the events today, you start to wonder. The story of a little candle pushing away the monster of frightening darkness, of human sensibility overcoming terror and brute force, of life and growth overcoming destruction; the battle is very much alive within each of us. It reoccurs at every winter solstice, at every dawn of each day, with every photon of sunlight that breaks through the earth’s atmosphere bringing it warmth and life-nurturing energy. With every breath of life, every cry of a newborn child, every blade of grass that breaks out from under the soil, every decision to do good in the face of evil, to be kind where there is cruelty, to build where others destroy, to move humanity forward when others pull us toward chaos. This is Hanukkah, an eight-day spiritual journey. Many people know the story of Hanukkah but only as a historical pretext to give gifts and eat latkes. We can call that the body of Hanukkah. The soul of Hanukkah is its meditation, joy, warmth and light not only in our homes with our loved ones, but with the world. Thus, this is the message of the candles. Don’t underestimate your ability to make a difference. Our flickering flames of goodness and kindness can go viral, one candle at a time, one good deed at a time. — raBBi Motti groSSBauM

South Setauket man killed in drugged driving crash By elana glowatz

A motorcyclist was killed on Saturday afternoon when a young man who was allegedly on drugs crashed a car into his bike. Two days after Thanksgiving, the Suffolk County Police Department said, 56-year-old Thomas Heissen Buttel was riding a 1972 Harley-Davidson north on Old Town Road in Coram when he was struck by a vehicle whose driver had been trying to make a left onto Hyson Way, just south of Hawkins Road. The motorcyclist, a South Setauket resident, died from his injuries at Stony Brook

University Hospital, police said, while the driver of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta that struck him, 22-year-old Port Jefferson Station resident Sabelo Ndala, was not hurt. Police charged Ndala with driving while impaired by drugs, operating a vehicle without an interlock device and second-degree aggravated unlicensed driving. He was arraigned the next day. The suspect is listed as defending himself in the New York State court system’s online database and could not be reached for comment. According to the database, Ndala had a previous drunk

driving charge against him, dating back to February, to which he pleaded guilty. His license was revoked for 18 months in that case and he was mandated to use an interlock device on his vehicle, which prevents the car from operating unless a sober person breathes into the device, for three years. After Saturday’s crash, police impounded both the Jetta and the Harley-Davidson for safety checks. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to call detectives from the SCPD’s Vehicular Crime Unit at 631-852-6555.

Englebright raises Three Village’s historical awareness By Giselle Barkley

There used to be more to North Country Road than meets the eye. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) discussed the history and importance of Long Island’s Main streets like North Country Road during the Three Village Community Trust’s 11th annual celebration Nov. 18. Around 80 residents attended the event, which helps raise awareness of various conservation or preservation topics. Cynthia Barnes, president of the group, said the event also helps residents understand the community better. This year, highway and street preservation was the topic of the evening. According to guest speaker Englebright, in the early 1600s the king of England ordered the construction of North Country Road otherwise known as Route 25A or Main Street. Christian Avenue was once part of Main Street before North Country Road was developed further. Englebright said North Country Road is the oldest road in the community and it is one of many structures that help define the area. Speaking about the streets in the neighborhood, Englebright said, “They are also fragile and can be lost and in doing so we can lose part of who we are.” While change is inevitable as time

progresses, the goal is to remember and preserve the history of the locale. Englebright added that many roads residents use are some of the oldest roads in the area. He didn’t specify which roads in particular but said that those living in the community don’t always realize the small changes made to the area over time. With development pressures and gentrification it’s easy for a community to lose its history. With the trust’s annual celebration, Englebright hoped to bring awareness to the history of local roadways, and help continue preservation efforts. “We have a tradition in this community of preserving our heritage and trying to maintain that quality of our overall community through preservation and adaptive rescue of repurposed historic buildings,” Englebright said. “[Preservation efforts have] happened here more than almost anywhere else I could think of.” For his past 32 years as an elected official, Englebright fought and continues to fight to preserve historic neighborhoodsincluding the roadways. In light of his preservation efforts over the years the trust not only invited Englebright to make a presentation at the event, but also honored him for his service and his support of the trust and its work. The assemblyman has helped preserve

many historic sites including the Davis Town Meeting House in Coram. The exterior of the house was renovated but the interior was left in shambles. Unused buildings are typically targeted. In order to preserve the 1750s-built house, Englebright supported a grant to help the Davis Town Meeting House Society cater to the building’s interior. The grant

is one of many the assemblyman has advocated during his time in public office. “We’re very lucky to have an assemblyman or an elected official with not just a vision for this community, but he’s actually able to implement [these visions] in various ways and inspire other people to help him,” Barnes said in a phone interview.

County revists wastewater treatment programming By Giselle Barkley

145274

Suffolk County is getting more serious about a smelly situation. Sixteen months ago, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) bumped water quality issues to the top of his todo list. Now, the Suffolk County Health Department is reviewing existing sewage treatment plant sites, its enforcement and possible means to strengthen current regulatory programs. Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. James Tomarken said the program could be more effective despite the efforts of wastewater management staff members. “As a part of a comprehensive approach to improve water quality, it makes sense to review our existing regulatory programs in consultation with governmental agencies and other stakeholders to identify areas where those programs can be improved,” Tomarken said in a press release. According to Peter Scully, deputy county executive, there aren’t any specific steps to improve the programs yet. Earlier last month the health department met with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Suffolk County Water Authority, on Nov. 5 and Nov. 16, respectively. Scully said the department addressed regulation efforts and compliance issues with the DEC while they tackled water quality concerns and sit-

ing requirements for the sewage treatment plants. According to the county executive’s website, there’s an excess of 200,000 on-site residential wastewater disposal systems in environmentally compromised areas in the county as of last year. Reviewing the existing programs is an extension of Bellone’s Reclaim Our Waters Initiative. He announced the initiative in March of 2014 to address the county’s poor water quality. Nitrogen pollution is rampant in the water, which not only affects the water quality but also the organisms living in these waters. The Town of Brookhaven took on similar efforts to address Brookhaven’s declining water quality. In October, the town issued its own study about Long Island’s water, starting with the Setauket Harbor. While that study will take up to a year, conducting the review on the county’s regulatory programs may take several months, according to Scully. The sewage plant application process will also be evaluated. The health department receives around three applications annually. The review will examine whether the department has adequate penalties for those who don’t comply with sewage plant siting regulations. The regulation process of new facilities or those under order is also up for examination. Scully said this is to help make the facilities better for the environment.

North Shore gala to honor charitable champions Friends of Karen prepares to award four at third annual event to benefit children with life-threatening illnesses By Phil Corso

Friends of Karen of Port Jefferson will present its third annual Long Island Gala, which will take place on Friday, Dec. 4, at Stonebridge Country Club in Smithtown. The event will honor Rich Panico, president of Symbio of Port Jefferson, John and Janet Kornreich with the Friends of Karen’s Humanitarian Award and Debbie Peck with the Friends of Karen’s Shelia Petersen Award. Panico has been a champion for the charity for several years, the group said, and John and Janet Kornreich were selected for their award because of their work as the founders of the John and Janet Kornreich Charitable Foundation. Peck has been a longtime Friends of Karen advisory board member and speaker for the organization and has shared her family’s personal story with schools, corporate employees and others so they can learn about the important work of Friends of Karen. Friends of Karen provides vital, practical and comprehensive support, at no cost, to families in the tri-state region who are caring for a child with a life-

threatening illness. Since 1978, Friends of Karen has helped nearly 14,000 children and their families with personal advocacy provided by a team of dedicated professionals — including social workers, expressive arts therapists and child life specialists — who work to ensure they have the financial, emotional and practical support they need to get through the turmoil and treatment process of a devastating diagnosis. Friends of Karen began in 1978 when friends and neighbors came to the aid of a family with a 16-year-old daughter, Karen, who was terminally ill. A fundraising campaign for medical and other costs enabled Karen to spend her precious last days at home surrounded by loving family and friends. More than 37 years later, Friends of Karen has helped nearly 14,000 children in the tri-state region, from birth to age 21, who have been diagnosed with cancer or another life-threatening illness. For sponsorship and ticket information or to learn more about Friends of Karen, visit www.friendsofkaren.org or call Patricia Conway at (631) 473-1768, ext. 303.

North Shore man cared about campus community Richard Solo, known as Dick or Doc to those he loved, died on Nov. 27 at age 79, after a four-year struggle with cancer. Solo was the beloved husband of Naomi for 56 years; father of David, Julie and Michael (Susan); and brother of Marge Seltzer. Friends remember Solo walking around in nature, Stony Brook University, his beloved Port Jefferson or other parts of the world, camera in hand, ready to photograph, in his special way, the world around him. He loved his family, students, nature, the Red Sox and a good bowl of chili. Solo had a joyous, productive and giving life. From his early days in Brookline High in Massachusetts to his years earning a bachelor’s at MIT and his doctorate in chemistry from Berkeley, he was involved with student life, sports and music. When he moved to Port Jefferson in 1970, he became involved in the village and was an integral person in the development and building of the Village Center. Solo came to the SBU on its opening day in August 1962, after a research stint at Aerospace in Los Angeles. Since that time, he dedicated his heart and soul to the university beginning as an assistant chemistry professor. He set up a first-rate lab, but his main love was the student body. For 10 years, he taught chemistry classes of 110 to 150 students, including an introductory seminar on science and ethics before it was fashionable. The blend of teaching and research was a source of excitement, fun and

satisfaction, and he was a first-rate teacher and communicator. He became an integral part of student affairs, getting involved in counseling and helping to create an orientation course for incoming freshmen, ultimately developing an orientation program that was lauded throughout the state. He affected the lives of thousands of students, leading to his role as director of new student orientation, one of the first contacts an incoming student had with the university after admission. To the end, students who went through the program visited and corresponded with Solo and have cited how it made them grow as individuals. Any student or faculty member who worked with Dick’s orientation program would agree that the spirit of genuine empathy is what made all the difference in the effectiveness of the program. Solo, along with his carefully chosen administrative assistants, molded freshmen and transfer orientations each year to the changing needs of incoming students. The process went beyond just registering for classes — there were social activities and workshops that included food, films, sports and a family-like spirit. His goal was to reach the attendees, to make a difference in their lives by caring about and understanding them. His service to the SBU community spans half a century, during which time Solo served on and chaired numerous committees and boards, including the university Senate, the first student affairs af-

firmative action committee, the presidential search that chose John Marburger, the president’s advisory board on the disabled, and the Faculty Student Association. He was the unofficial photographer of Stony Brook history in the making. Solo cared about every facet of the campus and students, attending many athletic events each season. After he semiretired, he went back to teaching chemistry and did student advising at both summer and winter orientation programs. Rabbi Joseph Topek from the university described Solo as a pioneer. Dick introduced many new ideas that have become university tradition, including the Roth Pond Regatta. A memorial visitation was held on Wednesday at Bryant Funeral Home in East Setauket. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Good Shepherd Hospice or to the Staller Center for the Arts via the Stony Brook Foundation.

PERSPECTIVES

Important questions to ask about retirement living South Setauket-based retirement community worker says choosing the right living situation is paramount By Cathy Deangelo

Finding the right place to live once you are retired is about asking the right questions and doing some homework. That process starts with a careful consideration of your individual needs and desires. It’s important to remember that we all age and our needs will change as we do. The optimal time to begin the process is while you’re still working, as it takes time to figure out where you’ll want to be and there are a lot of options out there to consider. The more you learn, the easier your decision will be. You need to be realistic with your answers. For example, if you have health issues now, it’s highly likely that you’re going to have more in 10 years’ time. You have to be honest about the barriers to things you want to do now, and how will you manage those challenges later in life. If you’re considering buying a retirement home, look beyond the actual real estate to the services that come with

it or are nearby, as they will be important down the road. A 55-plus community that suits your lifestyle at age 60 or 65 may not have the services to support you after age 75 or 80. Other popular options, to name a few, include life-care retirement communities that enable residents to age in a place with independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities available on one site; assisted living facilities that offer rooms and apartments; independent living senior communities; condominiums and shared space with family members. It’s important to remember that most of us need people to thrive. And not just those to assist us with things we’re no longer able to do, but to engage our interests and be our friends and companions. Having more time to do the things you like and enjoy the company of old and new friends and family is a wonderful gift.

Brookhaven Town adopts 2016 operating budget By Giselle Barkley

Town of Brookhaven officials and residents have one less thing to worry about next year, now that the 2016 budget has been finalized. On Nov. 19, the town board approved Supervisor Ed Romaine’s nearly $281 million proposed operating budget, which complies with the New York State cap on tax levy increases — in fact holding it, and thus residents’ property taxes, steady next year. According to a previous interview with Finance Commissioner Tamara Wright, who helped Romaine (R) craft the budget, the town accomplished this by properly managing its capital projects and by satisfying debts. Earlier this year, the town finished paying off an $8.4 million debt connected to the New York State employees’ retirement system, allowing the town to save about $1 million annually. But its efforts to reduce debt will not end there — going forward, Romaine said, the town will continue addressing that issue and prioritizing expenditures. “You should not spend mo ney you do not have,” he said. “We’re very much aware of that, and we’re monitoring all of our expenses very carefully.”

Some funds that would have gone toward the completed debt payments will instead be used to fund other parts of the budget in 2016. The budget also allocates $5.2 million for the highway department’s snow removal budget, a number that has been incrementally increasing since Long Island communities had to dig out of dense snow in the February 2013 blizzard commonly dubbed Winter Storm Nemo, which shut down some roads for days. Brookhaven’s snow removal funding has doubled in the last few years. If there is leftover money in that account after the winter, the goal is to deposit it into a reserve account that would be used in an emergency winter weather situation. While roadway upkeep is important, Romaine said designating money to fund all maintenance issues is difficult, because spending is limited. “It’s hard to do that when you have a tax cap,” Romaine said. “I believe the budget is as good as it’s going to get, considering the constraints we live under.” In addition to raising the snow removal budget, the town is putting money toward traffic safety, park improvements, open space preservation and land acquisition. The spending plan also increases

reading material. Joanna Cadolino, English chair at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School, added that for ninth graders, the curriculum would continue to move away from memorization and toward more critical thinking. Additionally, ninth graders will explore speech writing, public speaking and research writing, which will require the evaluation and synthesis of source material at the honors level. McAuliffe said that this year’s junior class would be the first to take the new English Regents exam. Changes include longer, more complex texts, as well as

Though he noted “a great deal of uncertainty” about the new exam, he said he was optimistic. “We’re not working in isolation,” he said, adding that students have had good preparation from the previous grades. The increased rigor of Regentslevel courses will mean that Ward Melville will no longer offer an 11th grade Honors ELA class. Students can take either a Regents-level course, or AP English Language and Composition. The high school will also offer new electives, including news literacy, poetry of hip hop and sports literature.

PEOPLE Giving thanks around Three Village

Students throughout Three Village school district marked the Thanksgiving holiday through interactive and festive celebrations. As a culmination to their classroom studies, Minnesauke Elementary School kindergartners in Jennifer Lazarou’s class enjoyed a feast with their classmates and families. Those in attendance shared what they are thankful for this holiday and sang a holiday-inspired song. Leading up to the event, the students fashioned Native American and Pilgrim hats, created writing pieces on what the Native Americans taught them and artistic drawings of turkeys. First-grade students at W.S. Mount Elementary School showcased their newfound knowledge of the Thanksgiving holiday through skits and a classroom feast. Minnesauke Elementary School

fourth-graders in Kara Gorski’s class celebrated Thanksgiving by making a Thanksgiving Blessing Mix, which was donated to the Saint James Church Soup Kitchen. The special treats included a personal note from each student that was distributed at the soup kitchen’s Thanksgiving dinner. Nassakeag Elementary School coordinated a Touchdown Tuesday Food Drive for local food pantries. The school collected hundreds of nonperishable food items, and each student who donated received a certificate and voucher for a free ticket to the Stony Brook University Seawolves game on the Nov. 21. W.S. Mount Elementary School first-graders celebrated the holiday during a Thanksgiving skit. Minnesauke Elementary School kindergarteners wrote a Peace Treaty during their Thanksgiving celebration.

Residential Styles Learn about the home styles in your market and beyond. Our Residential Styles guide includes illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions about popular styles. Plus, use our Home Features guide to learn about architectural elements such as dormers, roofs, and arches that make a property distinct.

Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from onestory cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you'll find rustic exteriors and sheltered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, this style can be house boxy or lowslung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape Cod homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straightedge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rectangular design and secondfloor bedrooms.

Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian's classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt. Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Victorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and

Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian With paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty. Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door. Gothic Revival English romanticism influenced this style, marked by Gothic windows and vaulted roofs. Spanish Eclectic This style has details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Greek Revival Entryway columns and a front door surrounded by rectangular windows are characteristic. Split Level A Modern style, Split levels sequester living activities, such as sleeping and socializing.

International The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts. Stick Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards are typical of this Victorian style. Italianate This style has symmetrical bay windows in front, small chimneys, and tall windows. Tudor Tudors have half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and steep cross gables. Monterey The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an Adobe brick exterior. Victorian Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture incorporated decorative details such as patterned shingles. National Rooted in Native American dwellings, the National style is rectangular with sidegabled roofs. 7KH DERYH LQIRUPDWLRQ LV SURYLGHG E\ 7KH 1DWLRQDO $VVRFLDWLRQ RI 5HDOWRUV Â&#x160;

OPINION

Photo by Jared Cantor

Police are increasing patrols at county Planned Parenthood clinics.

EdiTOriAL

Shootings effect spreads to Suffolk

Colorado Springs is not around the corner. But the effects of a tragic shooting there the day after Thanksgiving have trickled down and made a very real impact on Suffolk County. We spent much of the fall season interviewing candidates running for various offices, and more than once we were reminded that our county police department was being stretched too thin. Fast forward a few weeks to the aftermath of Friday’s shooting at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado that killed three and injured nine. Our county police department announced it would be increasing patrols near the five clinics in its jurisdiction as a result. The department also committed itself to training Planned Parenthood officials in crime prevention, which hopefully will provide a more lasting impact on preventing similar tragedies here. Sometimes there is a disconnect between the national conversation and the small-town scuttlebutt, but this is an example of how one person’s actions can have a nationwide effect. in our case, it is strapping an already taxed police department. The consequences are real, and there are things we could do on a local level that could perhaps trickle in the opposite direction — up to the national conversation. We could strive to better care for our neighbors, both through publicly funded mental health programs that provide more access to treatment and more comprehensively deal with mental illness, and by speaking up when someone we know is behaving erratically or speaking in an alarming manner. We are seeing more and more irrationally thinking people commit acts like the shooting in Colorado Springs, in which the assailant targeted people unknown to him. And it seems impossible that none of these perpetrators displayed irrational behavior or thought beforehand. A strongly connected community is an excellent safety net. We should work to weave ours tighter.

Since 1988, World AIDS Day is Dec. 1.

World AIDS Day a critical moment TO ThE EdiTOr: We have come a long way in the fight against hiV/AidS— since the Millennium development Goals were first adopted in 2000 through 2013, new hiV infections have fallen by roughly 40 percent. But the hiV/AidS epidemic continues to affect millions of people around the world and in the United States, with marginalized communities disproportionately impacted and millions newly infected each year. in some of the hardest hit areas globally, adolescent girls and young women face poverty, gender inequality, exclusion, discrimination,

lack of education and violence, which put them at increased risk of acquiring hiV. Many don’t realize that Planned Parenthood is a leading educator and provider of hiV testing in the United States. in 2013 alone, the last year for which data is available, Planned Parenthood health centers provided 704,000 hiV tests nationwide. in 2014, Planned Parenthood hudson Peconic health centers and SmartWheels mobile education and testing vans provided 13,100 rapid hiV tests in Westchester, rockland, Putnam and Suffolk counties. Yet rather than supporting such needed efforts to end the epidemic in our community, we anticipate that anti-women’s health members of Congress will continue to push

for a policy rider that defunds Planned Parenthood in the next round of budget negotiations. defunding Planned Parenthood really means taking health care — including testing and treatment for STis like hiV away from the 2.7 million women, men and young people Planned Parenthood serves each year. i encourage you to #StandWithPP and support efforts to end hiV/ AidS. Now is the time to move forward, not backward, on this issue that has impacted so many millions around the world. Let’s protect our progress and double down on our efforts to end this epidemic.

A holiday gift for the planet and our wallets

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

uring the holidays we donate coats to the homeless, buy presents for strangers and send cards to the brave soldiers representing our country far from home. In addition to those charitable efforts during this time of year, how about if we come up with ways to give to our planet? Huh? In light, if you’ll pardon the pun, of the current

United Nations climate-change meeting of world leaders in Paris, perhaps we can add a few small items to our lists. And, no, most of them don’t require spending any money. In fact, they will help save money. For starters, and this is something my Depression-era grandparents ingrained in me from an early age, turn off the lights in rooms we don’t use. I know that’s tough, especially during this darker time of year, but it cuts our electric bill. That’s an extra few bucks in your pocket at a time when our kids absolutely, positively, have to get the latest, greatest, fastest, most-fashionable present to pass the holiday parent test. When we drive somewhere and wait for someone, turn off those engines. Seriously, idling is something we should never do. It wastes gas and pollutes the environment. I appreciate all the effort parents make to sit outside schools, piano

lessons, practices and games, waiting to pick up their children. But leaving the engine on is not only unnecessary, it fills the air with pollutants just before our children step in the car. Having sat in cars in temperatures below freezing for close to a half-hour, I assure you that the car stays warm if you don’t open your window or door. Seriously, try it. It also gives us those cherished moments of silence. Then, there’s the thermostat. Yeah, I know we like it warm, but for the month of December, how about turning it down just 2 degrees? If that becomes unbearable, lower it just 1 degree. It might not seem like much individually, but that can and will make a huge difference collectively. During the night we can turn off our computers and printers. These machines are much faster at booting up than the same electronics were just a decade ago. While we’re

waiting for our computers to come back online, we can check our emails, send important messages about what we just realized we need to get from the store, and send instant messages to people around the world. OK, so, we’ve got that shopping list and we know you’ll forget something because the overstimulating holiday environment of most stores has an ability to soften our brains. The bright and clever displays and constant caroling music on the radio encourage us to buy something that wasn’t on the list, turning us into consumer marionettes. But if we were more efficient about our holiday shopping, we could buy that extra thing and still cross everything else off the list. What does that buy us? It gives us more time to write that rhyming couplet expressing our enduring love for our spouse and it reduces the amount of

By walking we could burn off that extra piece of pumpkin pie.

time we’re running back and forth to stores. How about walking? I know it seems hard to imagine carrying everything from store to store but, let’s face it, it’s hard to find parking spots anyway. Instead of using gas to get from one place to another, by walking we could burn off that extra piece of pumpkin pie that called to us from the refrigerator. Like so many other efforts at this time of year, giving to our planet will bring returns for us, our children and grandchildren down the road.

An offbeat plumbing cult from Japan

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

f you are looking for a holiday gift that is out of the ordinary, I have a suggestion for you. In fact, this particular product has been written up recently in The New York Times in the Fashion & Style section so dramatically that it has caught people’s imagination. Perhaps that is because the giver of the gift can realize as much benefit as the receiver. Ready for the offbeat suggestion?

The Times sums it up with this headline: “The Cult of the Toto Toilet.” What? You may say that you have had indoor plumbing all your life. You may even have a commode previously manufactured by Toto, the Japanese plumbing company. But the object of this cult, dear reader, is no ordinary bit of plumbing. If you own one, it will change your life. Let me explain. While this Toto marvel may look the same as a regular toilet bowl as it quietly sits in the bathroom, when you lift the lid the differences become obvious. You see several buttons in a housing alongside the seat. And like many of the latest electronic luxury items, its use is intuitive. There is the on-off switch, two different buttons that regulate temperature and a couple more that control position of the flow. This seat, you see, is actually a bidet, with all the benefits brought right to your doorstep, so to speak.

Called a Toto washlet, the product has inspired unbelievable devotion. This Japanese creation boasts a heated seat, a bidet function for a thorough cleanse and, if you have one of the more recent models, “an air purifying system that deodorizes during use,” according to the Times. There is even an air dryer, virtually eliminating the need for toilet paper if you have higher tolerance for risk. I first saw the washlet when I visited Japan seven or eight years ago. It seemed like such an upscale item, yet it was so widespread: in hotels, department stores, restaurants and airports. I was so impressed with its functionality that when I returned home I called my plumber to see if I could order one. He thought I was kidding when I described how it worked. I challenged him to call his supplier before he totally laughed me off, and then call me back with the answer. He did, 20 minutes later,

and added that in addition to mine, he was going to buy one for himself. I was not so surprised on my trip to China this past September to find such a seat in the home of a Chinese family. Though they are still a novelty here, they are more common in Asia, and they are now made by more companies than just Toto. The installation of the washlet is a little complicated in an existing bathroom. In addition to bringing a water line to the seat, an electric outlet needs to be placed within a cord’s reach of the commode, and this is counter to the normal safety regulations for distance between electricity and water. Therefore this outlet has to be one certified for use near water, like the one near the bathroom sink used for shavers or hair dryers, and the electric line probably has to be snaked over behind the bathroom wall from the nearest source of electricity. This is not impossible, however, LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz

There is a real health component in the Toto washlet. but it is the largest expense in making this change. I can tell you, and so can everyone who has one, that it is well worth the effort and not just as a luxury or convenience. There is a real health component. The washlet I have is the most basic, and the entire transition cost in the three figures. But now there are many more upscale and sophisticated models. They can also be a lot more expensive. Features can include urine testing and other medical data that can then be relayed via the Internet directly to physicians. But you can still get the stripped-down version, like the most basic model of washing machine or dishwasher, and that is quite sufficient to take you to a better place.

Patriots dynasties begin quests for county titles Girls’ & Boys’ FencinG In February of this year, the Ward Melville girls’ and boys’ fencing team swept the Suffolk County championships for the ninth straight season. The boys extended their match streak to 124 with the win, and although the girls had their 195-game streak snapped last year, will look to start a new one as the girls begin the road to what could be their 14th straight Suffolk County crown. Five senior fencers were sent off to college last year, with Carly Weber-Levine competing at Stanford University, Ilana Solomon playing for Columbia University, Michael Antipas competing at University of Notre Dame, and Angela Zhang and Michael Skolnick fencing for Cornell University and Vassar College, respectively. While the girls lost Solomon, the boys team returns her younger brother, Danny, who is a sophomore this year. The loss of Antipas will be felt heavily, along with Marc Dalrymple and two

other seniors, but the Patriots return a slew of underclassmen looking to fill the shoes of those lost. Antipas was the last of three family members to fence at the school, and his presence will be missed. He, along with his sisters, Demi and Alexa, combined for a 346-2 varsity record. The girls lost three other seniors along with Weber-Levine to graduation, but this Patriots team also returns a ton of sophomores and a handful of juniors to the lineup. The season will test what those underclassmen have learned from some of the greats before them, and the teams will be tested when they travel to Newfield on Wednesday, for the first meet of the season, at 5 p.m. The teams will host Commack the following day, Dec. 10, at 5 p.m., before competing in a tournament at Brentwood on Dec. 12. The tournament is set to begin at 9 a.m.
