Everything started turning around for Port Jefferson Station’s Annie O’Shea this past summer.

A veteran of the high-speed world of skeleton racing, O’Shea had a reputation for her extraor-dinary sprinting speed. She just had to put it all together.

In skeleton, where racers use the same tracks as bobsled, com-petitors clad in aerodynamic suits and helmets, sprint at top speed with their hands on their sleds for five seconds, until they dive on top of the sled, steering through treacherous turns at speeds faster than 80 miles per hour by shift-ing their body weight.

“For years, she’s been known for having one of the fastest starts in the world, and then los-ing that on the way down,” said Tuffy Latour, the head coach of

the United States skeleton team.But not anymore.At an International Bobsleigh

& Skeleton Federation World Cup race last week, O’Shea was poised to do something she’d never done on her home track in Lake Placid: collect a medal.

Behind the leaders by a tenth of a second after the first of two heats, she visited with her skel-eton coaches and her condition-ing coach, Brett Willmott, who is also the associate head track and field coach at the University of Vermont.

“Her first run, she was a little sloppy” with her sprint, Willmott said. “I told her to be aggressive in the last four steps. That’s all she needed to know.”

With a physical game plan, O’Shea, 28, stood at the starting gate, waiting her turn to dig her

File photoSchool officials are projecting a modest increase in taxes next year for Port Jefferson residents.

By Elana Glowatz

If all goes according to plan, Port Jef-ferson school district residents will pay almost the same in taxes next year.

Between those taxes, state aid and other revenues, the total budget for 2016-17 could actually go down, according to a presentation from Assistant Superin-tendent for Business Sean Leister at the school board meeting on Tuesday night. That’s largely because the district would not spend as much on capital projects next year, with the new high school el-evator being one big-ticket item that will not be repeated, and because the district will see a drop in its debt repayments.

Those two significant decreases would offset increases in health in-surance payments and transportation costs, among others.

The proposed $41.3 million plan would maintain all academic programs and staffing levels, despite the 2.5 per-cent decrease in spending as compared to the 2015-16 budget. But Leister noted that the tax levy would go in the op-posite direction — residents would see a slight increase of 0.11 percent. That levy bump would come in just below the state-mandated cap on how much it could increase next year, which Leister

estimates at 0.16 percent.Leister’s estimate for next year’s in-

crease in state aid is larger: He’s putting that at 6 percent, a number he called “conservative,” especially in light of the recent discussion between state officials about the Gap Elimination Adjustment.

The adjustment, a deduction taken out of each New York school district’s state aid, was enacted several years ago to help get the state government out of a fiscal crisis. The deduction has been decreasing lately, and there is talk that it could be removed completely in the coming cycle.

Leister is not as optimistic.“I’ll believe it when I see it,” he said.If, however, Port Jefferson receives

more state aid than it allots for in the budget, Leister said school officials would decide together how to spend it.

And Superintendent Ken Bossert as-sured the school board that the district also has a plan in the event of receiving less state aid than estimated in the bud-get proposal.

There are “still a lot of moving parts” in the budget planning process, Leister said. In addition to the question about state aid totals, school districts are still waiting on final numbers for their tax levy caps.

Code enforcement officers in Port Jef-ferson will get a raise for the first time in several years once their union contract is finalized.

At the Jan. 4 village board of trustees meeting, the board approved the new agreement, settled upon a couple of years after negotiations began.

The Port Jefferson Constable Associa-tion union was scheduled to ratify the contract this week. However, the result of the membership’s vote was not avail-able by press time.

The new agreement will be retroactive to June 2014 and run through the end of May 2018, Trustee Bruce D’Abramo said in a phone interview. With part of the contract being retroactive, so is part of the pay increase — the union mem-bers will receive an extra $1.50 for each hour they worked between June 2014 and the end of May 2015, and another $1.75 per hour worked from June 2015 and onward.

Moving forward, the officers from the Code Enforcement Bureau will receive an hourly bump of $0.25 each new year of the contract, meaning they will get a

raise in June 2016 and June 2017.The few dozen staff members covered

under the contract includes code en-forcement officers and sergeants as well as appearance ticket officers, D’Abramo said. The union does not include code Chief Wally Tomaszewski or three lieu-tenants in the bureau.

According to both village officials and the union, it has been a while since the officers received a raise.

Port Jefferson Constable Associa-tion President Tom Grimaldi has been a code officer for more than seven years, he said, and the last salary increase was “way before I got there. Probably at least 10 years ago.”

D’Abramo noted that before the raises kick in, the pay for code enforcement officers is $16 per hour. For sergeants, the pay is $18.25 per hour, and appear-ance ticket officers currently get $13.50 per hour.

The contract is “a long time coming,” Grimaldi said.

And D’Abramo said village officials are happy to put the negotiations be-hind them so they can finally “give the code officers, who do such a good job for the village, the kind of remunera-

tion” that is comparable to such officers in other villages.

The constables have been particularly visible recently with some high-profile incidents in Port Jefferson Village.

In mid-December, a Belle Terre man was killed when he lost control of his Lamborghini while driving up a steep East Broadway hill and crashed into a pole near High Street. Officer Paul Bar-bato was the first on the scene, finding a “horribly mangled vehicle with a person still alive inside,” Trustee Larry LaPointe

reported at a board meeting shortly after the crash. Barbato got inside the car and attempted CPR on 48-year-old Glen Nel-son, but the driver later died.

“You can only imagine the scene he came upon,” Mayor Margot Garant said on Jan. 4.

In a phone interview, Tomaszewski said that Barbato “tried desperately to save his life. Believe me, his boots were filled with blood.”

A couple of weeks later, on New Year’s

Brookhaven is back in business.Elected officials, their family members

and other residents packed into the Town of Brookhaven auditorium in Farm-ingville on Jan. 7 to witness Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) being sworn into his second full term in office alongside fellow recent-ly elected and re-elected board members, including board newcomer Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Middle Island) and other town officials.

Back in November, Loguercio won the

race for the 4th District — a position pre-viously held by former Councilwoman Connie Kepert, a Democrat.

Valerie Cartright, the councilwoman from Port Jefferson Station, is now the only Democrat on the seven-member board.

Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said last week’s ceremony was a day of celebration that helped validate how residents voted during the 2015 elections.

In light of the board’s past work, Suf-folk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) highlighted Romaine’s performance as the supervisor, saying that he has always

been one of the fiercest and most passion-ate advocates for what he believes in.

Although residents saw the supervi-sor and Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) officially sworn into their terms on Jan. 7, other elected officials re-cently elected to the board were officially sworn in at a previous event two days earlier.

While several councilmembers were no strangers to the ceremony, the swear-ing in process still never gets boring, one North Shore lawmaker said.

“I’m really excited to get started again,”

Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) said before the ceremony. “It was a great first two years — we accomplished a great deal. I’m really looking forward to the next two years.”

Romaine was sworn in last by Judge Judith Pascale.

“I pledge to work with my town board to find common purpose,” Romaine said in his speech following his oath. “To ad-dress these challenges head on and to make decisions necessary for a prosper-ous future and one that serves all the resi-dents of this town.”

They solemnly swear

Comsewogue kids got another view of their education system this week.

“Beyond Measure,” a documentary by director Vicki Abeles about “Amer-ica’s troubled education system,” was screened on Tuesday in the high school auditorium, in an event hosted by TASK, Comsewogue High School’s student government.

The film is a follow-up to Abeles’ 2010

documentary “Race to Nowhere,” which provided a close-up look at the pressures placed on young students in America.

“In ‘Beyond Measure,’ we find a revo-lution brewing in public schools across the country,” according to a description on the film’s official website. “From rural Kentucky to New York City, schools that are breaking away from an outmoded, test-driven education are shaping a new vision for our classrooms.”

Comsewogue school district and its

superintendent, Joe Rella, have been at the forefront of the battle against the Common Core and standardized test-ing, standing out as one of the strongest voices on Long Island and in New York State. In addition to appearing at local protests, last year the district even went as far as considering a proposal to refuse to administer state exams unless the state delivered more education aid and re-duced the weight of student test scores on teacher and administration evaluations.

The description of “Beyond Measure” on the documentary’s website echoes some sentiments expressed by educators and parents who oppose the Common Core and state testing.

“We’re told that in order to fix what’s broken, we need to narrow our curricula, standardize our classrooms, and find new ways to measure students and teachers,” it says. “But what if these ‘fixes’ are making our schools worse? In ‘Beyond Measure,’ we set out to challenge the assumptions of our current education story.”

Screenings of the film have taken place across the United States over the past year, with more scheduled to take place in the coming weeks.

“I am thrilled that our high school students are actively playing a role in exploring education policy, and look forward to their insight,” school board member Ali Gordon said in an email.

“I believe that the issue of standardized testing is central to the debate about the direction of public education all over the nation, not just here. Education policies created at the federal and state level fo-cus heavily on data collected from stan-dardized testing, which has resulted in a huge shift away from student-centered learning.”

Supervisor Romaine calls for SBU fire safety reformsBy Phil Corso

A serious dormitory blaze at Stony Brook University has Brookhaven Town’s supervisor calling for fire safety reforms.

The fire broke out on Saturday, Nov. 21, in a student’s room on the second floor of O’Neill College — one of four residential buildings in Mendelsohn Quad — forc-ing about 115 students to relocate to temporary housing, the university said in a statement.

Setauket Fire Department responded to the call and received mutual aid from Stony Brook, St. James and Port Jefferson departments, but officials soon discovered that they had to carry hoses up to the second floor be-cause there were no standpipes there to connect to due to the building’s decades-old architecture, the Setauket Fire Department said in a statement.

While the flames were eventually tamed, the incident still sparked Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) to call on the university to upgrade its fire protection systems and to contribute to the cost of fire protection.

In a statement provided to Times Beacon Record Newspapers, Romaine said that O’Neill College was built more than five decades ago and was outfitted with a fire alarm system that only warns of a fire, without a sprinkler system to combat it. He said the univer-sity lacked necessary fire-prevention measures, like a standpipe system in the building, to allow firefighters to access water for their hoses.

Romaine also noted that the most recently built dormitories at SBU include fire alarms and sprinkler systems, which he said would have prevented the size and magnitude of the fire at O’Neill.

“Two lessons emerge from this fire,” Romaine said. “First, Stony Brook University needs to upgrade the system in the dormitories that lack these essential fire protection systems. Second, New York State and the university should contribute to the cost of fire protec-tion; it should not be borne by the taxpayers of Stony Brook and Setauket Fire Districts alone.”

A spokesman for the Setauket Fire Department said the cause of the fire was still under investigation and there were no reported injuries.

The SBU campus resides within the Setauket, Stony Brook and St. James fire districts, the university’s envi-ronmental health and safety department said.

Lauren Sheprow, a spokeswoman for Stony Brook University, said the university was operating in full compliance with state building code requirements and that all campus residence halls were equipped with “state-of-the-art fire alarm systems that are monitored 24/7 at university police headquarters.”

Over recent years, Sheprow said, SBU has taken ad-ministrative, engineering and educational steps to reduce fire alarms, minimize the impact on nearby fire depart-ments and facilitate its own emergency response.

“At Stony Brook, student safety is a top priority and we take that responsibility very seriously,” she said in a statement. “The university has implemented numer-ous initiatives over the years to enhance fire safety and prevention and to reduce unnecessary response by community fire departments to the campus. The uni-versity has a great deal of respect for the community volunteers who dedicate their time to fire emergencies — in fact many of these volunteers work at Stony Brook University — and we are grateful for the swift response in November.”

The university’s most recent annual fire report and statistics reported eight fires throughout 2014, across all on-campus residence halls, resulting in a total of $20 worth of property damage. Most of the incidents were reported as grease fires, and none of the eight occurred at O’Neill College, where the most recent reported incident before this dated back to two trash can fires in 2013.

Day, patrolling code officers James Mur-docco and John Vinicombe responded to an overdose at the Islandwide Taxi stand near the Port Jefferson Long Island Rail Road station. The victim did not have a pulse.

LaPointe said at the board meeting on Jan. 4 that Murdocco administered the anti-overdose medication Narcan and

“saved the person’s life by doing so.”Tomaszewski described another re-

cent incident in which officer Gina Savoie “thwarted a burglary” on Crystal Brook Hollow Road. He said after Savoie took action and called for police assistance, the two suspects, who are from Coram, were arrested for loitering.

“My hat goes off to the code enforce-ment bureau,” Garant said at the most recent board meeting. “They’re out there handling things that are unimaginable for us to even contemplate.”

spikes into the ice and fly down the moun-tain on a sled she’d purchased before the start of the new season. Thus far, the vet-eran slider, as skeleton racers are known, was a respectable 11th on the World Cup tour, competing against the best other countries had to offer.

Her mental approach before her second heat was noticeably different to Latour, who knew O’Shea had “potential that was through the roof.” Last Friday, looking down her home track in front of a raucous crowd that included school children ring-ing cowbells and screaming her name, O’Shea looked “relaxed and composed,” the head coach said. She’s a “changed person.”

Part of that change came from hiring a life coach.

“I used to take [every] problem I was having to the track,” O’Shea said. “[I] needed to get everything else off my mind. I feel like I’ve never been so strong on the inside.”

That strength, and the physical adjust-ment, helped her relax on a course where she had always felt extra pressure, espe-cially after years of training that started when she attended SUNY Plattsburgh.

True to form, O’Shea had a strong start in her second heat, igniting a ride along a track where she and her sled sounded like a freight train as she flew past spectators camped out at their favorite turns.

“She held the corner in turn 14 well,” Latour said. “If you nail that corner well on this track, you’ll be very fast.”

Latour said O’Shea tied a track record with her 55.08-second finish in her second

heat, making up for her tenth-of-a-second deficit and putting the heat on the only two racers who could catch her. O’Shea stood at the bottom of the track with a nervous grin on her face as she watched her competition try to beat her combined time of 1 minute, 50.34 seconds.

Even before the race ended, she knew she would have a medal. At that point, she just wasn’t sure what color it would be.

A Swiss athlete, Marina Gilardoni, was ahead of O’Shea through much of the race. At the very end, O’Shea’s time was just enough, by 0.09 seconds, to keep her in first, ensuring her the color of the medallion that would soon be hanging around her neck would be, at the very least, silver. O’Shea had earned a sil-ver medal before, in 2011 in La Plagne,

France, and this time, she wanted gold.

The next competitor, Laura Deas of Great Brit-ain, was also ahead during the second run but she too fell back. Assistant Coach Zach Lund, who was hold-ing O’Shea’s hand while she

awaited her fate, assured her she’d won the gold before Deas’ run had ended.

“I couldn’t even react until she crossed the finish line,” O’Shea said. “Then, the moment it showed red,” meaning Deas was behind O’Shea, “I lost it. I couldn’t believe it.”

O’Shea screeched, jumped in the air and gave Lund, among others, a hug. Standing on the highest rung of the plat-form, O’Shea had finally earned gold, and what made it even sweeter was that it was on her home track.

Back home where she works at the Comsewogue School District offices, her mother, Linda O’Shea, was cheering so

loudly that teachers from down the hall came flickering to her desk to see what all of the commotion was about.

“I’m so proud of her,” Linda O’Shea said. “It was just nice to see how happy she was. When she realized she was going to get any medal, she was really excited.”

O’Shea and her other three daughters spent the better part of the morning ex-changing emails. The mother has her daughter’s silver medal at home on a shelf, and is looking forward to adding the gold to the collection.

After the medal ceremony, Annie O’Shea signed autographs for some of her

enthusiastic young fans. For years, she was too focused on where she finished. Now that she’s keeping her approach much simpler, O’Shea and Latour hope this is just the beginning.

“If she sticks with it and stays focused, she can do anything,” Latour said.

While she’s pleased with her first World Cup gold medal, O’Shea has her sights set on a bigger prize: the 2018 Olympic Win-ter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea.

“This is her time,” Latour said.On the immediate horizon, O’Shea

will compete in the next World Cup race in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 15 and 16.

Students raise money for sick kidsA group of fifth-grade students from

Boyle Road Elementary School in Port Jefferson Station were recognized at a Comsewogue board of education meeting on Jan. 7 for raising $550 and donating it to Friends of Karen, a Port Jefferson-based organization dedicated to providing financial and emotional support for chil-dren with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

The students, who are called Vaianella Volunteers, after their teacher Linda Vaianella, presented the check to a rep-resentative from Friends of Karen to rau-cous applause from the dozens of parents in attendance. They raised the money by volunteering after school at a holiday craft fair and at the school store.

OPINION

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

EDITORIALBig shift coming

U.S. Rep. Steve Israel is stepping aside at the end of the year, declining to run for another term in the House this November, after what will be 16 years as the Democratic representa-tive for the Huntington and Smithtown areas. But his departure will affect more than just western Suffolk County.

Long Island residents in general should be paying attention to the 3rd Congressional Dis-trict seat in the coming year. Our officials at the federal and state levels work with their neigh-boring colleagues to get things done that benefit Long Island — sometimes in a quid pro quo sort of way. That means that no matter the elected body or who our representative is, the priorities and the character of the person who is elected in the next district over from us are important. And with Israel gone, no matter who is elected to replace him, Suffolk County will have two longtime congressman exiting in two years, after Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) unseated Democrat Tim Bishop in 2014.

That’s not to say that new blood is a bad thing.Zeldin kept himself busy during his first

year in the House, authoring several bills. Most recently, he introduced the Earnings Contingent Education Loans (ExCEL) Act of 2015, which aims to help young people manage their federal student loan debt by making the repayment system more flexible, with payment amounts based on the borrower’s salary. And in interviews with this newspaper, Zeldin has called being a newcomer a positive — party leadership supports their freshmen, he said, because they want to help them retain their seats.

We appreciate Israel’s long service to our community. That being said, electing a new point of view to Congress has the potential to be a good thing for Long Island, which is in a state of flux as we try to plan our economic and environmental future.

3rd District candidates, all eyes are on you.

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

Make the pledgeTO THE EDITOR:

Some of the presidential candi-dates fully support the National Rifle Association and advocate an unrestricted interpretation of the Second Amendment.

Furthermore, they suggest that several of the recent mass killings might have been prevented, or reduced in scope, if more people were carrying guns.

Each of those candidates could exercise their conviction by mak-ing a pledge to the American public, stating that should they become president, they’ll sign an executive order stating that whenever they make a public ap-pearance, the Secret Service and all other security agencies will not do weapons screenings.

UnbelievableTO THE EDITOR:

It's amazing how mindlessly people stroll through the Internet, and how willingly they gobble up information without knowing any-thing of its origin or accuracy.

The recent public discussion about the lottery provided us with a prime example. Someone created a meme that alleged that if the $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot was di-vided among the roughly 300 mil-lion people in the U.S., each person would get $4.33 million. Sounds pretty great, right? We could end poverty and hunger overnight.

The only problem is that $1.3 billion divided by 300 million is $4.33 — as in dollars, not millions of dollars. Not exactly a sum that puts an end to American poverty.

Of course, as other critics have pointed out, there is also the matter of the U.S. population being closer to 309 million, and that a large portion of the jackpot is lost to taxes — both of which would cut individual shares even further.

Some may argue that the meme's author intended to make a point about the distribution of wealth and used false math on purpose,

Image from FacebookThis incorrect meme has been shared all over the Internet.

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

meme's false information.People need to stop lapping up

every sensational thing they hear, and they especially need to stop repeating everything they hear. Maybe then we can have actually productive conversations about poverty, hunger or anything else.

Differences between the sexes in tall stories

He started, “Once upon a time, three little brown bears.”

“No, no, that’s not right!” she shouted, interrupting him before he could get to the ac-tion. “They weren’t little, there weren’t three of them and they weren’t brown.”

“Wait!” he protested, putting up a finger. “Who is telling this

story, you or me?”“No, well, if you’re going to

tell it, tell it right,” she argued.“But it’s a children’s story,”

he snapped. “Can’t we just tell the story?”

“You want him to go to school with the wrong details? You want him to come home with a bloody nose because someone punched him when he argued about whether they were little brown bears or medium-sized, endangered polar bears?”

“You think our kid is go-ing to get into a fight because I might have used the wrong details in a story? Weren’t we trying to put the kid to sleep? Look at him now. He’s crawl-ing all over the bed, putting everything he can reach into his mouth,” he said.

“Yeah, well, get the details right next time,” she huffed, storming out of the room.

What is it about storytelling that divides the sexes? Why is it that a man remembers a story

one way and a woman seems so much better at remembering the details?

Is it fair to generalize? Well, like every generalization, yes and no.

A friend recently shared his observation that his girlfriend, whom he thinks is absolutely one of the best people he’s ever known, has only one small problem — she tends to take all the momentum out of his stories by correcting him.

Is she wrong, I wondered? And even if she’s not wrong, do the details matter? When I thought about all the couples I’ve known over the years, it seemed to me, in my nonscientific recol-lections, that the women were more likely than the men to halt a story to fix a detail.

“So, there were we were, in the middle of a fire alarm scare in Boston, and we were stand-ing at the window ledge, eight stories up,” he might be saying.

“No! No! We were in San

Francisco, not Boston, and we were on the 11th floor,” she might suggest.

A glare and bad body language often follows, as the man loses the thread of his story while he grinds his teeth, wondering whether he can or should confront the love of his life in front of other people.

Is this one of those differ-ences between the sexes that reflect the fact that men are from Mars and women are from Venus? I suspect it is. The way I see it, the details we share about our lives in stories are like the fish we might col-lect if we were standing at the edge of a pier in Stony Brook, dropping nets into the water to catch fish — or story details — as they swim by.

The holes in a man’s net are larger, letting the small fish swim through, while the holes in the women’s nets are smaller. The women pull up their nets and notice and count

the large and small fish, paying meticulous attention to every-thing, cataloging the variety of fish in their nets.

The men look at the fish and wonder: (a) “Is this enough for dinner?” (b) “Should I take a picture of it?” and most impor-tantly (c) “Did I catch more fish than my brother or the stranger at the end of the pier who kept bragging about all the fish he caught?”

The next time a man’s story goes off track because of specific details, maybe he can suggest he’s focusing on the “bigger fish.” Then again, a woman might rightfully reply that he’s just telling another “fish” story.

No! No! We were in San Francisco,

not Boston, and we were on

the11th floor.

Rapturously waiting for a customized diet

Here is some new informa-tion for those struggling with their New Year’s

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

any given day or week.Now we know that we are all

different in what we can eat. I remember when I was in sev-enth grade and a good friend asked me to join her every day after school at the nearby Schrafft’s, the ladies genteel luncheon restaurant, for an ice cream sundae. Slender and yet to have need of a bra during our puberty years, she thought she could hurry such develop-ment along with some more poundage — her straightfor-ward goal was to gain weight. The year was 1952 and if you can believe it females gener-ally did not go into restaurants alone, although Schrafft’s was known to cater to women.

So being a good pal, I went with her each afternoon for a month, and we rapturously enjoyed hot fudge sundaes with vanilla ice cream in chilled metal cups. At the end, she got on the scale and to her disgust she had not gained an ounce. I, on the other hand, although having changed nothing else in my ordinary diet during that time, had gained five pounds,

which I subsequently worked hard — alone — to take off. Moral of story: Different bodies digest differently.

Now if we were in the caveman days, as a physician once told me, I would have a better chance of survival in times of starvation ra-tions because I can store reserves better than she. But to this day she is reed slender … and I am not.

How do bodies absorb and metabolize differently? If we could figure that out, people like us would be more successful follow-ing diets — a notoriously difficult thing to do. The same dietary advice does not work for everyone.

A recent study published in the prestigious journal, Cell, “found a startling variation in the glucose responses of 800 subjects fed the same foods,” according to an article in Science Times, a section of the Tues-day New York Times. “Some participants had sharp increases in blood sugar when they ate ice cream and chocolate, while oth-ers showed only a flat or moder-ate response.” They could have been talking about my junior

high school friend and me.“Each person’s capacity to

extract energy [calories] from foods differs, it appears,” the article continued. The research-ers went further with their study. Using today’s high tech tools, they combined glucose responses of each participant with identifica-tion of gut bacteria, medications, family histories and lifestyles, and devised a formula that correctly predicted blood sugar responses to foods not yet eaten in the study. Once they could do that, the scien-tists could then modify diets and boost good gut bacteria accord-ing to whatever the goal might be for better health; for example, how to lose weight and/or prevent diabetes. The study is titled, “We Just Do It with Food,” and is co-authored by Dr. Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute in Israel.

The study is based mainly on genetic testing, according to The Times, but scientists have only begun to explore the links between DNA and good nutri-tion. The answers for each person are not simple because there are the many variables previously

mentioned: those same genes, microbes, diet, environment and lifestyle on any given day. To date, 38 different genes have been linked to nutrient metabolism, and the technology in the form of sophisticated computers exists to analyze big data issues.

Meanwhile, until these stud-ies produce customized diets for us, keep eating whole grains, lean meats, and lots of fruits and vegetables, especially the green leafy kind.

Interestingly when I was a kid, I remember people who were fat blaming their weight on their “genes.” Most of us didn’t even know what genes were, and all of us scoffed at that idea. Obe-sity was considered a failure of willpower then, pure and simple. Little did we know how right those people turned out to be.

Not all of us metabolize the

same foods in the same way.

Cheerleading squads from all over Suf-folk County converged on the mats of

Rocky Point High School Sunday for the Suffolk County cheerleading sectionals, where Comsewogue ran away with a first-place finish in Small School Division I-B.

Cheerleading officially became a rec-ognized sport in the 2015-16 school year, making this sectional event the first time that the competition is overseen and sanctioned by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

Rocky Point was the first of 31 teams to take to the mat in Small School Division I-A, and the squad wowed the crowd with a two-and-a-half minute routine, despite head coach Anna Spallina feeling less im-pressed by her Eagles.

“You have two and a half minutes to prove yourself out on the mat — if you don’t prove yourself in those two and a half minutes, you don’t get a second chance,” Spallina said. “You can’t go to

the net again with a ball, or throw that pass one more time, so one little slip, an inch this way or an inch that way, and you can throw it away.”

Pleased or not, Spallina’s squad earned first place in the division.

Comsewogue hit the mat in the second session, and the Warriors put on a flawless performance as the crowd exploded in applause with their finish. But head coach Stefanie Breitfeller was just relieved that the routine was behind her, as the team had yet another hurdle to jump prior to a competition.

“We had a major change this morning as I found out last night one of the girls came down with pink eye,” Breitfeller said. “We had to replace a starter, so we came into this thinking this could go badly or it could go very well.”

Comsewogue senior Samantha Don-lon was thrilled with her team’s first-place finish.

“We have worked so hard for this day and I’m really proud,” she said. “I’m so happy and this will make us perform even harder next week.”

Comsewogue senior Rachel Steck said she thought her team also performed well, but thinks that, like always, there is room for improvement.

“It could’ve been a little tighter, but I’m just so proud of my team,” she said. “We did our best today. We’ll practice our routine; we’ll make it harder and we’ll make it cleaner.”

Comsewogue junior Brittany Dein thought her team performed beyond its expectations with the last-minute change.

“All week we’ve been running the rou-tine a whole bunch of times and I can’t fault any part of our performance,” Dein said.

The teams will reconvene on Sunday Jan. 24 at Hauppauge High School for the second round of competition.
