A book and a calm canine companion are all Caroline Woo needs to practice reading

Every Thursday afternoon this 11-year-old from Setauket visits the Emma S Clark Me-morial Library for its Books Are Read to K-9s program Caroline joined the program and fell in love with it last November after her mother Eydie Woo learned of the club But BARK didnrsquot just allow her to interact with a calm canine it also improved her read-ing skills

Last month for her birthday Caroline asked her friends and family to make a donation to the program instead of buying presents The $270 she received went toward training more dogs for the club and other therapy dog-related programs For Car-oline reading to Patchogue Ro-tary Animal Assisted Therapy certified dog Malibu a black Labrador helped her tackle the big words she struggled to say when reading out loud

ldquoMalibu shersquoll hellip just sit down and theyrsquoll kind of lis-ten and it is better because the

dogs they mostly maintain one expressionrdquo Caroline said ldquoItrsquos easier since shersquos less judgmen-tal than peoplerdquo

According to Malibursquos han-dler and owner Fred Dietrich the program hasnrsquot only helped her reading skills but itrsquos also boosted her confidence He added that hersquos seen Caroline become more outspoken since she joined BARK

Her mother agreed with Di-etrich saying Caroline ldquofeels comfortable with Malibu and itrsquos translating into other set-tingsrdquo The fifth-grader met

Malibu when she started the program and theyrsquove been regular reading partners since Malibu like all eight dogs in-volved in the reading program is PRAAT certified

Stony Brook resident Jo-Ann Goldwasser established the Doggie Reading Club pro-gram which is called BARK at the library three years ago after learning about a similar pro-gram in Chicago The Windy Cityrsquos Sit Stay Read program has served kids in Chicagorsquos inner-city schools for several

Setauket ranked happiest spot on Long Island

File photo A Zippiacom survey ranked Setauket and East Setauket as the fourth happiest spot in New York State beating out all other Long Island communities on the list

BY PhIL CorSo

The pursuit of happiness is alive and well in Setauket

Zippiacom gathered data for 341 dif-ferent places in New York with more than 2000 people and ranked them based on overall happiness placing Setauket and East Setauket as the fourth happiest place in New York State beating out all other Long Island communities in the top-10 including North Wantagh in fifth North Merrick in ninth and Cold Spring Harbor ranked 10th overall The career research website considered various topics like ed-ucation employment commute times and home ownership in its search for the statersquos biggest smiles and Setauket natives stood in support of the findings

ldquoI like Setauketrsquos sense of placerdquo said George Hoffman a Setauket mover and shaker who heads the regionrsquos environ-mental watchdog the Setauket Harbor Task Force ldquo[I enjoy] its authentic archi-tecture and revolutionary war roots the beauty of its coastal waters and its links to the shipbuilding and seafaring daysrdquo

The North Shore native said he en-joyed interacting with Setauketrsquos ldquohighly educated and close community of inter-esting and engaging residentsrdquo and com-pared it to the kind of small town found in areas like New England

ldquoNothing is perfect but living in Se-

tauket is pretty darn closerdquo he saidBeverly Tyler the Three Village his-

torian said the Setauket area is one of beauty variety and history that is backed up by its array of historic structures schools public buildings parks trails and green spaces

ldquoThe residents here have over the years formed groups and organizations that have not only preserved our history and our culture but have expanded our understanding and concern for each otherrdquo Tyler said ldquoFrom the first English settlers who came here 361 years ago and accepted Quakers and other religious settlers looking for safety and commu-nity to the European immigrants who came here in large numbers in the 19th century and initially faced uncertain and conditional acceptance we have of-ten led the way to an understanding that our differences make us stronger and help vitalize our communityrdquo

Ted Gutmann director of Setauketrsquos own Emma S Clark Memorial Library said his front-row seat to the greater Se-tauket and East Setauket community has proven to him how unique the area is After years at the helm of the commu-nityrsquos library Gutmann said his patrons often share stories of visitors from afar loving Setauketrsquos character and pride

ldquoThere are other nice towns on Long Island There are other historic towns

on Long Island But I think what sets Se-tauket (and all of the Three Villages) apart is the true sense of community hererdquo he said ldquoHaving worked at the Emma S Clark Memorial Library in different posi-tions for virtually my entire career I have experienced firsthand the sense of pride and neighborliness that exists hererdquo

Lisa DeVerna who works in the li-braryrsquos community outreach and special projects department echoed her direc-torrsquos sentiments

ldquoI think Setauket has such a rich

history from the Spy Ring during the American Revolution to people like Wil-liam Sidney Mount who grew up hererdquo she said ldquoCombine this with the excel-lent Three Village school district and our proximity to major roads which makes it easy for people to get to work and trav-el itrsquos no wonder Setauket is such a great place to liverdquo

A North Shore-based group has an-swered the countyrsquos calls to revitalize the site of a former landfill in Kings Park

The Suffolk County Landbank Corp which is a not-for-profit entity that works with the county to redevelop tax-delin-quent properties put out a request for proposals to completely rejuvenate eight brownfield spots across Suffolk includ-ing the former Steck-Philbin Landfill on Old Northport Road in Kings Park Last week Stony Brookrsquos Ecological Engineer-ing of Long Island answered with a pro-posal to build Long Islandrsquos first commu-nity-owned solar farm

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bel-lone (D) said the county wanted to team up with the private sector to revitalize the various brownfield sites and described them as blights on their respective com-munities Shawn Nuzzo president of Ecological Engineering of Long Island said his grouprsquos plan had the potential to pump renewable energy into the Islandrsquos power grid almost immediately

Nuzzo described the 6-megawatt solar farm proposal as the largest landfill-to-solar project in New York state that could generate nearly 8 million kilowatt hours of solar electricity in its first year

ldquoUnlike other recent utility solar projects on Long Island ndash where large developers have proposed to clear-cut forests raze golf courses and blanket farmable lands ndash our proposal takes a dangerous long-blighted and otherwise useless parcel and revives it as a community-owned solar farmrdquo Nuzzo said ldquoThe Kings Park Community Solar Farm will be a quiet low-intensity land use generating nearly no automobile traffic af-ter installation As equally important we will return proper ecosystem services to the site through the ecological restoration tech-nique of phytoremediation mdash using native low-light low-lying and drought tolerant plants known for their long-term soil re-storative propertiesrdquo

A property is classified as a brownfield if there are complications in expansion or redevelopment based on the possible pres-ence of pollutants or hazardous materials according to the United States Environ-mental Protection Agency

The site on Old Northport Road is still owned by Richard and Roslyn Steck ac-cording to the Suffolk County Landbank Corporation Request for Proposals though penalties and interest bring the total owed in property tax on the roughly 25 acres of land to nearly $15 million The property has been tax delinquent since the Richard Steck Gerald Philbin Development Co was found to be using the site to dispose of waste that it did not have a permit for in 1986 It is located less than a half mile east of the Sunken Meadow Parkway and about a half mile west of Indian Head Road

Nuzzo said Ecological Engineering of Long Island would finance build and oper-ate the solar farm through a crowdfunding

campaign seeking small investments from everyday Suffolk County residents The plan he said would be to sell 25000 ldquosolar sharesrdquo in the farm at $500 a piece

ldquoWe calculate that the Kings Park Com-munity Solar Farm will generate more than $24 million in gross revenue over a typical 20-year power purchase agreement We will offer our investors a guaranteed 150 percent return on investment with annual pay-ments deposited over the 20-year lifetime of the agreementrdquo he said ldquoThrough design efficiencies we will maximize photovoltaic energy output to not only increase profit for our investors but also to decrease our reli-ance on fossil fuels which today mdash despite many residential and commercial PV in-stalls mdash still represents the majority of Long Islandrsquos energy productionrdquo

The plan has already received support from various North Shore elected officials including state Assemblyman Steve Eng-lebright (D-Setauket) who threw support behind Nuzzo in a letter to the Suffolk County Landbank Corp

ldquoI am always happy to see younger mem-bers of our community active in civics so it was especially heartening to this vibrant young man at the helm of my local civic as-sociationrdquo he said ldquoNuzzo has also worked with the Setauket Harbor Task Force and was responsible for securing the donation of the use of a lsquosolar trailerrsquo from a local so-lar installer to power our Setauket Harbor Day Festival last September with renewable solar energyrdquo

Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) de-scribed Nuzzo as a ldquoknowledgeable leader on environmental issuesrdquo and ldquowell versed in many modern environmental technolo-gies and practices including solar projects LEED process and green technologyrdquo

The Suffolk County Landbank was es-tablished in 2013 after its application was approved by the New York State Empire State Development Corporation Some of the other brownfields included in the re-quest for proposals include Hubbard Power and Light and a gas station on Brentwood Road in Bay Shore Lawrence Junkyard in Islip and Liberty Industrial Finishing in Brentwood among others The eight prop-erties owe more than $11 million in delin-quent taxes as of August 2015

A 24-hour substance abuse hotline went live on April 1 providing Suffolk County residents with a new resource to help with battling addiction

The Long Island Council on Alcohol-ism and Drug Dependence is operating the new hotline mdash 631-979-1700 mdash and will help callers get screenings referrals and follow-ups directing them to local resources that will help them or loved ones overcome addiction

Officials announced the initiative at the end of February calling it a partnership between the county Stony Brook Medicine

and the statersquos health department as well as private and public community partners in the substance abuse field Those offi-cials said having a single phone number for all those resources is key

ldquoThis initiative will provide [the] op-portunity for addicts to reach out during their time of need and access treatment and support options easilyrdquo Suffolk County Legislator William ldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) said in a previous statement ldquoOften there is a critical and brief period of time when a person sees clarity and makes the decision to seek help This hot-line can be fertile ground for change and recovery as it can quickly link residents to

crucial health care servicesrdquoLICADD itself noted in a recent state-

ment about the hotline that ldquothe time to seek treatment is lsquonowrsquordquo and that some-times the ldquonowrdquo is late at night early in the morning or on weekends or holidays The agency also said that the period in which an addict is willing to get treat-ment could close without immediate help due to ldquothe pathology of denial obsession and fear which often defines substance use disordersrdquo

Community leaders have ramped up efforts to fight opioid addiction in recent years while seeing an increase in heroin and prescription painkiller abuse and overdoses across Suffolk County Those efforts have included more directed police enforcement and informational meetings Police officers have also started carrying the medication Narcan which can tem-porarily stop opioid overdoses and has been used hundreds of times in Suffolk

Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) who authored the law that put Narcan into officersrsquo hands said about the new hotline ldquoEvery second counts to a mother whose son or daughter was found and saved from overdosing And every hour and every day that slips by trying to find quality afford-able accessible treatment is criticalrdquo

The county health department will provide oversight and analyze data to

monitor the hotlinersquos effectiveness and identify trends and emerging issues in the community

At the same time the drug abuse hot-line went live the Suffolk County Police Department announced another phone number this one a 24-hour tip line for residents to report drug activity in their neighborhoods

ldquoWe are asking the publicrsquos help to fight this scourge and with the publicrsquos help we can make a real differencerdquo Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini said in a statement

Residents can call 631-852-NARC anonymously to report information about local drug dealers and authorities will investigate the tips Even anonymous callers can receive cash rewards for tips that lead to arrests

ldquoIf you see something say something and Suffolk County police will do some-thing about itrdquo Sini said

Suffolk County is making strides to-ward a greener future

Last Monday Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) announced upgrades designed for energy efficiency to several county buildings including key spots in Smithtown that should save taxpayers more than $3 million annually

Improvements were made to the H Lee Dennison building in Hauppauge where the press conference was held the Board of Elections in Yaphank the Riv-erhead Criminal Courts Building and the 4th Precinct police building among others The county has invested about $15 million in energy efficiency funding since 2010 Bellone said

ldquoAs you know Suffolk County is home to more than 15 million peoplerdquo Bellone said ldquoItrsquos the largest county in the state of New York outside of the city Of course we provide an array of different services to all of those residents So many of our op-erations and facilities are open 24 hours a day seven days a week Wersquore respon-sible for the operation of more than 400 facilities Since we are a large operation itrsquos vital for us to embrace as leaders green energy and alternative energy sources in our day-to-day operationsrdquo

Some of the upgrades Bellone an-nounced included new boilers replacement

of lights occupancy sensors improvements to heating air conditioning and ventilation systems and a photovoltaic system installa-tion for the Board of Elections building that will provide solar energy

Officials from LIPA and PSEG Long Island joined with environmental advo-cacy groups at the press conference

ldquoPartnering with PSEG Long Island and LIPA and utilizing their rebate pro-grams made these long-term energy sav-ings possible and they assisted with the up-front cost that might otherwise hold back the important projects that you see displayed hererdquo Bellone said

Both LIPA and PSEG Long Island incen-tivize energy efficient upgrades for residents and commercial property owners with re-bates LIPA CEO Tom Falcone and PSEG Long Island COO Dave Daly both praised Bellone for his leadership and for the exam-ple that he has set for New York State

ldquoSuffolk County is demonstrating that local government can take very concrete steps to reduce the carbon footprint clean the environment and reduce cost for citizensrdquo Falcone said

Gordian Raacke the executive direc-tor for the nonprofit organization Re-newable Energy Long Island commend-ed Bellone for his proactive approach to energy efficiency

ldquoYou know when world leaders meet in Paris to talk about what we need to do

Bellone brings boost to North Shorersquos environment

Photo by Alex Petroski From left Gil Anderson Michael Deering tom Falcone Neal lewis steve Bellone lisa Broughton Mike Voltz Dave Daly and Gordian raacke show off some of the energy efficient projects an-nounced at Mondayrsquos press conference as well as an Always Conserving energy Award

to tackle climate change it is the kind of action that wersquore seeing here with the leadership of County Executive Bel-lone in Suffolk County that theyrsquore talk-ing aboutrdquo Raacke said ldquoAll of the talk in the meetings doesnrsquot do anything It doesnrsquot save a ton of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas until a leader steps up to the plate a leader like Steve Bellone and makes it happenrdquo

Neal Lewis the executive director of the Sustainability Institute at Molloy College

sent a message to other municipalities that have yet to follow Suffolk Countyrsquos lead

ldquoFrankly inaction by elected officials today when it comes to energy issues is wastefulrdquo Lewis said ldquoIf you have a town hall that still has old lighting systems old heating systems old cooling sys-tems mdash yoursquore wasting taxpayer dollars I think thatrsquos an important messagerdquo

Bellone said that these projects are just the beginning and more cost and energy saving upgrades are to come for the county

State budget agreement brings aid to Three Village

File photo The Three Village school district is gearing up for an increase in state funding thanks to lawmakersrsquo nixing of the Gap Elimination Adjustment cuts

By AndrEA MoorE PAldy

As New York State lawmakers wrapped up the budget last week they approved the end of the Gap Elimination Adjustment a measure that took money from school aid packages to supplement the state budget

To the relief of school districts across the state remaining Gap Elimination Ad-justment funds will be restored to 2016-17 budgets

For Three Village which has lost $347 million to the Gap Elimination Adjustment since its inception in 2009-10 the district will receive a total aid package of $452 mil-lion mdash a $66 million bump from last year This amount includes the $23 million in restored funds as well as a $29 million in-crease in building aid for the 2014 bond

The districtrsquos cap on the increase to the tax levy is 241 percent and will not require Three Village to cut programs to meet the cap Instead said Jeff Carlson assistant su-perintendent for business services the dis-trict will restore a number of positions

Speaking at last weekrsquos school board meeting Carlson said that at the secondary level the district would bring back assis-tant coaches for junior varsity football and lacrosse as well as for winter and spring track These positions will enhance safety supervision and instruction he said

At an earlier meeting Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich said administrators would

reassign 30 full-time equivalent (FTE) teaching positions to academic intervention services (AIS) at the elementary level and 16 FTEs at the secondary level to rebuild Ward Melvillersquos business department There will also be a 4 FTE increase for American Sign Language

The board will adopt the budget for the upcoming school year at its April 13 meet-ing The public vote will be on May 17

Also on the May ballot is a separate transportation proposition to eliminate minimum distance requirements for bus-ing The measure would allow the district to provide busing for all students

Currently all elementary students are bused Junior high students must live at least a mile away from school and high schoolers a mile and a half away to get transportation School administrators believe that offering transportation to all students will address safety concerns about narrow winding streets without sidewalks and crossing busy roads like Nicolls Road

If the proposition passes it would cost $160000 to add two buses The addition of the buses would generate $70000 in trans-portation aid from the state Carlson said

Taxpayers will also elect two trustees to the school board on May 17 Following for-mer board member Susanne Mendelsonrsquos resignation last month the board decided to keep the seat open until the May 17 vote Board president Bill Connors said the per-

son with the highest votes would finish out Mendelsonrsquos term which ends June 30

In other financial news district officials finalized a five-year contract with the Three Village Teachers Association There will be no salary increase for the first year 2016-2017 followed by a 1 percent raise each year after as well as a 25 percent step increase for longevity for up to 30 years Carlson said

Department updatesThe chairs of the foreign language de-

partments at the three secondary schools gave an overview of the departmentsrsquo of-ferings which now include American Sign Language in the ninth grade The district

also offers French Italian and Spanish be-ginning in seventh grade and continuing to the Advanced Placement level

The district hopes to add ldquoone of the less commonly taught languages such as Ara-bic Mandarin Chinese Farsi or Japaneserdquo in the future the administrators said

Social workers and school psychologists also outlined their roles within the school community Each school has at least one full-time psychologist and a social worker they said Dawn Mason executive direc-tor of pupil personnel services said district psychologists ldquopartner with families and administrators and teachers to create safe healthy learning environmentsrdquo

LegalsNOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Village of Old Fieldrsquos Storm-water Management Program Annual Report will be posted online at the Village of Old Fieldrsquos website on Thursday March 31 2016 Interested par-ties may submit comments on the Annual Report to the Village Clerk by the close of the public comment period which ends at 400 PM on Friday April 29 2016

years Goldwasser wanted to help chil-dren overcome their reading difficulties with this program Her club started with Rocky Point Middle Schoolrsquos sixth-grade students and has expanded to the Com-sewogue school district two schools in Brentwood as well as the library She plans to establish the program in Hauppauge school district

Goldwasser said the school and li-brary programs are somewhat different

ldquoChildren who generally like to read who go to the library think itrsquos kind of a fun thing to come to the library and read to a dogrdquo Goldwasser said ldquoIn the schools however we go into hellip the same classes hellip every other week Itrsquos more academic in that we listen to the same children read week after week we know what theyrsquore reading [and] we know how to help themrdquo

Fellow therapy dog handler Linda Devin-Sheehan said itrsquos hard to track the programrsquos success in the library because the club is only three-years-old A lack of regulars like Caroline also makes it diffi-cult to monitor a studentrsquos improvement

Parents must register their children to participate in the libraryrsquos program which is held every Wednesday and Thursday from 430 pm to 530 pm in the libraryrsquos kidsrsquo section

According to the handlers a dogrsquos pa-tience and calm demeanor are helpful to students like Caroline While the pro-gram has helped Caroline in the past few months she simply enjoys being around dogs as they come in various shapes siz-es and dispositions

ldquoYou can see [a dog] on the street and pet it and get to know it for a short minute but you can already tell that theyrsquore such a sweet dog and itrsquos nice getting to meet a ton of different dogsrdquo Caroline said

Discussion of mixed martial arts elic-its a wide range of opinions though very soon one thing will be indisputable it will be legal in New York

The State Assembly passed a bill that will lift a near 20-year ban on the sport on March 22 with a 114 to 26 vote New York is the only state in the country where it is illegal to take part in a mixed martial arts event

The bill will become law after New York Gov Andrew Cuomo signs off though he has expressed support in the past Assemblyman Mike Fitzpatrick (R-St James) was one of the 26 that voted against the bill

ldquoThe legalization of mixed martial arts fighting in New York is the perfect example of what former Senator Patrick Moynihan would characterize as lsquodefin-ing deviancy downrsquo and normalizing a dangerous blood sport in the name of economic developmentrdquo Fitzpatrick said in a press release ldquoThis is not the eco-nomic development our state needs I am concerned about the health of fight-ers and what message normalizing and lauding violence sends to our children and families Just because 49 other states do it doesnrsquot make it right for New York Legalizing MMA is the wrong move for our staterdquo

Assemblyman Chad A Lupinacci (R-Huntington Station) cosponsored the bill

ldquoI am thrilled that the Assembly has finally passed legislation to bring this highly skilled sport to the arenas and venues across New York Staterdquo Lupinac-ci said in a press release ldquoThere are many fighters native to New York who have been forced to leave the state to pursue

their dream of competing professionally Legalization will allow them to stay in their hometowns and compete in front of their families and friendsrdquo

Reactions to the vote reverberated across the MMA community

ldquoI truly appreciate the New York State Assembly as a whole to finally get this bill passedrdquo Baldwin native and active Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Chris Weidman said in an email through his media contact UFC is the premier MMA governing body in the world

ldquoAlong with the UFC I campaigned very hard to get this done and made sure

the people of New York were educated about mixed martial arts and how im-portant it is for the sport to be regulat-ed in our staterdquo Weidman added ldquoThe people of New York have spoken and I think in the very near future I will be able to showcase my craft and my hard work to the people of New York Irsquom sure the UFC has big plans for the first UFC event in New York in history I have no idea what theyrsquove got in the works but I think an event at Madison Square Gar-den has to happen I would love noth-ing more than to defend my title on my home turf in that arenardquo

OPINION

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

EDITORIALEducation relief

The state has finally rescinded a cut to education funding that has been costing our schools billions of dollars mdash now itrsquos time to rebuild

But we can only rebuild if we move up from here We cannot afford any more setbacks

Ending the Gap Elimination Adjustment will allow our school districts to collect more financial aid than they have been able to for several years now The total deduction state-wide started as high as $3 billion and was eventually reduced to $434 million before being cut altogether This was great news for education advocates across the state

However this new balance needs to be preserved in order for education to truly recover because of the timing in which the cuts were installed Around the same time the state started slashing education dollars school districts were forced to adhere to tax levy cap regulations imposed under New York Gov Andrew Cuomo (D)

The Gap Elimination Adjustment was al-ready an enormous deficit for our schools but adding the cap on top of it made it much more difficult for districts to find their footing Because of this terrible timing the true dam-age done to our districts cannot be measured in just dollars and cents mdash theyrsquore going to need some time to reposition themselves in the coming years

Kids are our most important assets and wersquore already falling behind other countries when it comes to educational performance We need our legislators to stay true to their current position when it comes to education spending and invest in higher standards for our students

Wersquore gratified that our legislators finally got on board with slashing the Gap Elimina-tion Adjustment cuts They should have never enacted it in the first place

Vote KornreichTO THE EDITOR

ldquoIt takes a village to raise a childrdquo This African proverb rings as true today as it did years ago when I first heard it

Here in our beloved communi-ty we are fortunate to have many who are dedicated to that adage

One dedicated community member who speaks to that truth and whose skills I value is Jona-than Kornreich a member of the Three Village Board of Education

I first met Jonathan when my husband and I were raising our

two children who both attended Three Village Schools Over the years I have continued to be impressed with his commitment to quality education for all As a member of the Board of Educa-tion Jonathan tirelessly advocates for true learning opportunities across the academic spectrum ones that will benefit all our chil-dren In addition to his passion for academic excellence Jonathan is a watchdog for our tax dollars cur-rently chairing the districtrsquos audit committee This oversight benefits all of us and results in prudent use of public funds In order to achieve these laudable goals

Jonathan uses a wealth of experi-ence and expertise always with a steady hand at the helm

Jonathanrsquos strengths are ones that we as a community need in order to grow and thrive and successfully shepherd our children through the 21st century

Jonathan Kornreich is running for re-election this year for the Three Village Board of Education I urge our citizens to continue to support our collective community goals by casting your vote for him this May 17

Forgive me for smiling In my head I see a face It could be the face of a

mother father sister brother neighbor or even the face in the mirror

I think of all the range of expressions and emotions from that face It can be ecstat-ic that a son or daughter was born it can be pushing hard to

bring that baby into the world it can be straining with all its might to cross a nish line mdash or it can be waiting anx-iously at an elegant eatery for an eHarmony date to appear while trying to appear casually indi erent

With my quality time o en involving my wife and chil-dren I picture the faces of the parents who attend a concert or sporting event while also envisioning the faces of the kids battling against each other the clock their instruments or some confounding assignment

e part about the faces thatrsquos bringing a smile to my own is envisioning a scrambler button mismatching the words and expressions to the situa-tion Instead of a face and tone that showed rapturous glee a er getting a ticket to a live performance at Madison Square Garden Irsquove imagined that same elation at the beginning of a class

ldquoYes children please put

your notebooks awayrdquo a teacher might say ldquoWe have a surprise quiz todayrdquo

ldquoOh seriously atrsquos awe-some Oh man I canrsquot wait to tell my friends on Snapchat that we got a surprise quiz is is the best I mean we sometimes have regular quiz-zes that we know about in advance but a surprise quiz is a huge bonus I imagined surprise quizzes when I was younger but this is the real thing You are the absolute best teacher Irsquove ever had and Irsquom sure Irsquoll remember this quiz for a long timerdquo

Now I know those of you with adolescent children can hear sarcasm in that conver-sation I prefer to imagine unbridled enthusiasm

e scrambler button may be used in di erent circumstances

Perhaps our boss described our work as ldquomoronicrdquo Letrsquos dial in the goofy uncle trying to get a nephew to giggle

ldquoOh yeah whorsquos a great

bossrdquo you might say as your voice rises ldquoCome on Who Oh wait wherersquod you gordquo you ask as you cover your eyes ldquoWherersquos that great boss of mine Did you disappear Wherersquos the boss Where is the most spectacular boss anyone has ever seen ere he is peekaboo

If yoursquove ever been to a volleyball tournament you know that even the most stoic and reserved girl screeches through the match e team comes together a er each point in the center of the oor putting their arms around each other and congratulating themselves

ldquoLadies and gentlemen your train is delayed due to switching problemsrdquo an announcer might say over a loudspeaker to a group of commuters

ldquoYeah coolrdquo the commut-ers might scream as they come together in a circle of delight on the platform tossing their briefcases to the side and

jumping straight up in the air and pumping their sts

Or perhaps yoursquore an enthu-siastic coach and yoursquove asked your child to pass the salt

ldquoGood job kid good jobrdquo you might say in a voice thatrsquos way too loud for an indoor mealldquoNow keep the salt in your right hand Stay bal-anced Focus only on the salt Donrsquot shake it donrsquot think about not shaking it or yoursquoll start to shake it Now ease it over here Way to go kid yoursquore doing great Yoursquore al-most there mdash thatrsquos some great clutch salt passing Now a er the meal donrsquot forget to shake hands with the pepper and tell it that you had a good mealrdquo
