Jill Gallant of the engineering company VHB explains Port Jefferson’s urban renewal project at a public hearing at Village Hall Jan. 3.

Port Jeff community weighs in on upper Port urban renewal Plans to bring new life to upper Port Jefferson are in effect, as residents and village officials weighed in on the proposed renewal project this week.

Revitalization of businesses and infrastructure in upper Port, the area of Main Street south of North Country Road and north of the Long Island Rail Road train tracks, has been on the mind of the village board of trustees for more than a year.

The community had the chance to voice its opinion on the proposed urban renewal project at a public hearing Jan. 3, when a representative from VHB, an engineering and planning firm, presented the findings of a blight study and laid out the plan.

A blight study was ordered by the village in May 2016 in order to qualify for an urban renewal plan, which is required by New York State general municipal law. Based on the findings of the study, the board determined the area was appropriate for an urban renewal project. The village hopes to eliminate substandard conditions identified in the blight study, redevelop vacant and deteriorating properties, create new housing opportunities, improve public safety, and generate economic activity and support for retail and service establishments through development of new housing in the area. VHB recommends a mix of ground-floor retail and commercial uses and upper-floor living spaces as a way to address several concerns in the blight study.

The study found the upper Port area has a number of poor building and lot conditions, a cluster of vacant lots and storefronts, lots that don’t conform to zoning regulations, building code violations and public safety issues.

As a result of the blight study, if necessary the village can now impose eminent domain on property owners in an effort to promote growth and development, meaning the village government now has the right to take land from a property owner in exchange for compensation. Village Mayor Margot Garant has repeatedly said the board has no plans to use eminent domain

currently, but called it “another tool in the toolbox,” adding she hopes to have full cooperation from owners in the area.

Several community members voiced concerns about a lack of affordable housing in the area as a result of the plan.

Barbara Sabatino, who owns Port Jeff Army Navy, a retail store in the blighted area and lives in Port Jefferson, said she is in favor of revitalizing the area, but acknowledged that redevelopment could push out hardworking families who can’t afford an increase in rent.

“Other than the people who rent a room out of their house — and there’s an awful lot of those in Port Jeff Station — I don’t see any safety net for those people,” she said. “If you want to clean up the area and make it more attractive, we need to change the mixture of tenants.”

Garant responded to Sabatino’s concerns.

“I think it’s a careful balance between wanting to keep young families and senior citizens and people who want to afford to live in the village as a family unit or individually, and other situations where you have people who bring other people in to help them pay the rent and it’s an uncontrollable rental situation,” she said. Garant reiterated the village’s preference would be to have a private developer revitalize the area in partnership with property owners without requiring the use of eminent domain.

Village resident John Koehnlein also expressed concerns about the project and the affordability of living in Port Jefferson upon its completion.

“To make it work you have to have families in there and it has to be affordable,” he said. “You’re also going to displace a lot of the families that are there right now.”

Garant explained the difficult position the village is in with trying to revitalize the area while maintaining a level of affordability.

“We’re trying to partner with Stony Brook University, we’re trying to partner with a lot of different entities to get more interest in redeveloping uptown,” she said. “Just getting people interested in redeveloping uptown is no easy task.”

The plan will still require official board approval in the coming weeks to proceed.

Port Jeff’s green roof helps environment, teaches lessons

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com A facilities administrator in the Port Jefferson School District is doing his part to reduce the district’s impact on the quality of the Long Island Sound’s water.

Finding innovative ways to improve and protect Long Island’s water is a priority for state and county governments, environmental groups, businesses dependent on marine life and concerned residents.

Last year, Fred Koelbel, Port Jeff’s facilities administrator, was able to secure a grant funded through the state’s Environmental Protection Fund as a part of the Department of Environmental Conservation’s Water Quality Improvement Projects program.

The grant paid for the district to install a bed of vegetation on a 3,400 square foot portion of the high school’s roof to serve as a basin to catch and treat stormwater prior to discharging it into the village’s stormwater system, according to Aphrodite Montalvo, a spokeswoman for the DEC. “It rains on this, the water filters through and is held in the growing medium,” Koelbel explained while looking over the dualpurposed roof, which will be used for middle school science lessons beginning in the spring in addition to its environmental benefits. “It’s a drop in a bucket, but it’s meant to be a demonstration project. It demonstrates to the kids what the potential is; it demonstrates to the community what the potential is if you did this on a larger scale.”

Port Jeff’s green roof at the high school provides environmental and educational benefits.

Koelbel said he frequently monitors grants made available by New York State, and after being denied for this particular project once, the district was approved to receive the funding in 2016. The total cost of the project was about $275,000, though the grant covered all but about $68,000.

Koelbel added that the area of the building was in need of a new roof anyway, and it would have cost the district more than $68,000 to install a conventional roof.

“It was a win-win because it gave us all

of the benefits of the green roof, plus saved us money on the installation,” he said. The previous roof was made of a material that reflected sunlight and caused a glare and higher temperatures in a wing of classrooms in the building’s middle school, which is adjoined to the high school. Koelbel said the district first installed air conditioners to alleviate the problem, and then put a reflective film over the windows, but the green roof provides much greater benefits in addition to fixing an existing problem.

“The Earl L. Vandermeulen High School green roof is an excellent example of New York State’s statewide investments in green infrastructure,” Montalvo said in an email.

“The green roof will reduce the overall pollutant loading entering Port Jefferson Harbor, as well as educate students and the public on the benefits of green infrastructure.”

Port Jefferson is the only district on Long Island to install a green roof. Koelbel said some districts have reached out to him with questions about the project, though none have visited yet. He added he has plans to host a workshop in the near future for Port Jefferson Village roofing contractors and commercial property owners who might be in need of a new roof to advocate for the installation of more green roofs.

“For the next generation, this is something we do now,” Koelbel said. The district also has solar panels installed on some buildings, which are used to teach lessons about energy use. They also replaced many lighting fixtures with LED lighting in the past. Koelbel said he was proud of the example the district is setting for students about reducing environmental impact.

“When you’re doing public works type stuff, getting innovative sometimes is difficult, so the fact that we could set it up this way where it was a savings to the district over what we would have done if we just did what we had always done, and now we get to demonstrate the benefits to the students — it’s a real plus,” he said. “It’s a really great thing. This is the kind of stuff I like to do.”

County no longer needs court to hold illegal inmates

By Kevin Redding Kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco has sent a clear message to undocumented immigrants who choose to break the law, by announcing the county will no longer need a judge’s order before detaining and holding illegal inmates wanted by federal immigration officials.

The policy reversal, which DeMarco believes will be good “for the country, not just the county,” has taken Suffolk off the list of “sanctuary cities” — regions that protect undocumented immigrants by not prosecuting them solely for violating federal immigration laws in the United States. The county’s removal from the list is something DeMarco has been in favor of for some time.

The sheriff initiated a review of the sanctuary policy alongside county Legislator Tom Cilmi (R-Bay Shore) as soon as the policy was adopted more than a year ago, after concerns that it creates public safety problems by allowing the release of criminal immigrants back to the communities as opposed to letting agents

cooperation with ICE is going to help Suffolk County with some of the more pressing public safety problems, like the resurgence of MS13 [street gang] activity there.”

Cilmi said this is a step in the right direction.

“There’s no cause for protesting because, from a practical standpoint, nothing has really changed and it has nothing to do with undocumented immigrants who are living here,” he said. “As long as they’re following the law, it doesn’t affect them at all. Those who aren’t will see this is not going to be tolerated.”

He said he suspects that the vast majority of the immigrant population living in the county — documented or undocumented — would be supportive of policies that affect drug dealers and gang members who continue to “wreak havoc” in the areas where they live.

“No one wants crimes in their communities,” he said.

Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully.

You should immediately contact an attorney of your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable John H. Rouse, Acting J.S.C. filed December 2, 2016.

He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy.

Stanley Blumberg

Stanley M. Blumberg died surrounded by his family on Dec. 15. Born on Oct. 20, 1923, he was raised in the Bronx, where he cultivated a love of the arts and reading, as well as his lifelong devotion to the New York Yankees.

Blumberg enlisted in the Army dur-

ing World War II and proudly served in the South Pacific. Upon his return, he met his wife, Claire.

Stanley and Claire moved to Port Jefferson in September 1957, where they raised two daughters. He was employed at Mather Hospital for the majority of his nursing career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. Stanley thought of Port Jefferson as paradise, where he learned to play tennis, golf, swam and walked countless miles along the streets of Port Jefferson, Belle Terre and the golf course. His family enjoyed many hours sailing on Long Island Sound while listening to WQXR. In addition, Stanley was a longtime supporter of the Port Jefferson Free Library, visiting daily.

Stanley was an avid letter writer, reader and lover of baseball. He was an honest and honorable man who believed in giving back and using your gifts to make life better for others.

Stanley is survived by his daughters, Emily (Tom) and Ann; his grandchildren, Peter, Claire, Jack and Timothy; his greatgrandson, Jesse; and his sister, Ruth.

More than all of these, he loved his wife Claire. Their 67 years together is a testament to love, respect and the true meaning of the vows they said to each other.

Local kids help build home with Habitat for Humanity High school students from Rocky Point and Shoreham-Wading River participated in a Habitat for Humanity build in Mastic Beach.

The North Shore Youth Council provided students the chance to give back to the community, as the Youth Advisory Committee, which is made up of students in eighth grade and up, helped guide the agency into what types of programs, services or events today’s youth would like to see offered.

As part of the group, students not only participate in Habitat for Humanity builds but also in open mic and open gym nights, mock legislature and civic meetings and speaking engagements, town clean-ups and mentoring.

As part of the Habitat for Humanity project, the students helped empty the home and take part in constructing the new homes with the help Habitat for Humanity volunteers.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

Fake news and the ability to temper and correct Fake news dates back centuries, however, with the advent of social media it has become a phenomenon. The insidious impact of fake news can strike organizations, lives and communities at any time. With so much information out there, the opportunity to create social media environments that dilute the truth and/or spread misinformation deepens our polarization and erodes personal accountability. As information-consumers ,this is a topic worthy of our attention as we have the ability to temper its influence and correct deceptions.

Having been the target of a fictitious story in the past several weeks, I’ve become keenly aware of how detrimental it can be. A recent social media campaign

was launched, falsely stating that I, along with another legislator, sponsored a bill to purchase a rock in Rocky Point with county funds.

The truth is, I had absolutely nothing to do with the rock and no public or private interest in pursuing its preservation with public or private dollars. The idea was raised by the legislator representing the district where the rock sits, and a proposal was never drafted or presented to the legislature for consideration.

I’ve worked hard to represent Suffolk County residents well, and my record shows that I wouldn’t entertain such unwarranted spending. If you ever come across a story that appears out of line with my established record, please don’t

hesitate to call my office directly.

I would be happy to answer your questions.

It’s good to see social media platforms stepping up to the plate by developing tools to monitor this disturbing trend, but ultimately it is up to us to spread the truth. In 2017 and beyond, I am hopeful that we will all do our part in guarding against falsehoods. Let’s challenge ourselves to seek the whole truth, even if it debunks our suspicions and preconceived notions. Opening our beliefs to scrutiny will strengthen our accountability, our connections, and lead us to a better future.

County Legislator William Spencer Centerport

White people must speak up to spur change Photo from Vincent DeMarco

A view of the front entrance to one of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices

A step in the right direction As of late December, a change in policy by the Department of Homeland Security makes it legal for Suffolk County law enforcement agencies to hold people eligible for release for up to 48 hours if there is probable cause to believe they immigrated to the United States illegally. The suspect must be convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, three nonsignificant misdemeanors or deemed to pose a threat to national security in order for the hold to happen.

Since 2014 — until this policy change — the county has only been able to hold potential illegal immigrants with a warrant from a judge.

As an editorial staff that never bought into “build a wall” as an immigration policy, yet recognizes the need for immigration reform, we view this as a valid compromise. Lawbreakers already detained by the criminal justice system will be evaluated prior to their release by representatives from the federal government before it is determined that they can stay in the United States. In theory, this should reduce the number of undocumented, violent people living in our county and country. The list of reasons to hold a suspect is available for anyone to look up online, and it’s clear the main objective of this change is to investigate violent and criminal suspects.

This change wasn’t brought about by the administration coming into the White House in two weeks, yet it is entirely possible policy makers will be emboldened by the rhetoric they heard during President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign. Policy changes are likely coming for other departments as well, and it will be up to the American people to remain engaged in the political process, and be vocal, should a policy change occur that doesn’t sit right.

This tweak to immigration policy is one we can live with so long as the phrase “probable cause” is interpreted in a fair manner befitting a democracy built on liberty and justice for all.

I was happy to read Charles Cozzolino’s letter in the Dec. 8 edition regarding our Black Lives Matter rally of Nov. 12. Mr. Cozzolino’s main argument, that the event did not promote “unity,” seems to be in response to the headline of the Nov. 17 article, a choice of the newspaper, not the march organizers. In fact, the only reference to unity comes in a quote from one of the “All Lives Matter” folks on the other side of 25A. Of course, it’s easy to accuse others of divisiveness when one is a member of the historically dominant group.

“Why can’t these people stop complaining about their oppression?” is the underlying message from such individuals.

Also, the saying “all lives matter” stems from either ignorance about or conscious opposition to the assertion that black lives matter. If I say, “Save the polar bears,” it doesn’t mean I don’t care about other animals; I’m simply stressing that the polar bears are endangered. The same is true for black lives, particularly those of young black men in America today and throughout our history.

Mr. Cozzolino quotes Marcus Brown, a graduate student in

philosophy and member of Stony Brook University’s Black Lives Matter chapter. Mr. Brown’s comments regarding the “antagonistic” nature of police departments toward black people are rooted in his understanding of the origins of police forces in America, which were as slave patrols, meant to catch runaways.

One can understand how a black man might be wary of such organizations. While the ideas of Mr. Brown and his group may be radical, any movement will encompass different ideas about how to achieve its goals; those of us who care about racial justice are not a monolithic entity.

Mr. Cozzolino further takes exception to a “white silence kills” sign; he then makes the absurd leap in logic from this sign to violence in communities of color. Though its meaning seems clear enough, the idea that “white silence kills” is simply highlighting the point I made at the conclusion of the original article, that white people must speak up against injustices in this country, even those that don’t directly affect them. The fact that some black and brown people kill other black and brown people doesn’t excuse or

justify violence by the police, who are not private citizens but agents of the state, against unarmed black and brown citizens.

Lastly, Mr. Cozzolino incorrectly states that the Black Lives Matter movement was formed in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson; in fact, it was formed after the murderer of Trayvon Martin was acquitted in July of 2013.

At the end of the day, a lot of white Americans who share Mr. Cozzolino’s views simply refuse to admit that their skin color is an advantage in this country, which, morally and legally, it shouldn’t be. Decades after the Civil Rights Act, black Americans continue to have dropout rates, unemployment rates, and arrest and incarceration rates (even when compared to white defendants arrested for the same crimes) that are simply unacceptable in a free society.

Until the day when our political, social and economic structures reflect true parity, those of us who care about racial justice and equality will continue to remind America that Black Lives Matter.

OpiniOn Riding the Trump learning curve

T

aking credit is easy. It usually means you are patting yourself on the back for something you did or helped do that went well, or that went the way you desired.

In annual reviews, in résumés or on college applications, it’s a great idea to take credit for the ways you contributed, led or facilitated positive outcomes. It’s a way of sharing your potential for future successes with other colleagues, coworkers, bosses

By Daniel Dunaief or schools.

It’s a fine line because taking credit for, say, the weather on the day of a picnic seems inappropriate and far fetched; or taking credit for something for which your primary role

D. None of the above

was to cheer for a particular outcome also seems inaccurate.

The other side of the credit coin is accepting responsibility for mistakes or results that fell short of your expectations or hopes.

I read that President-elect Donald Trump has congratulated himself on consumer confidence and the stock market surge since the election.

His election could be a contributing factor in the optimism of consumers or in the personified mind of the stock market.

I wonder, though, when life for Americans doesn’t go the way we would all like, will he also accept responsibility? Will the man who will be the leader of the free world be able to see his role in problems, learn from mistakes and show the kind of flexibility that other world leaders will consider inspiring or redemptive?

When things don’t go the way he or we the people might like, he has blamed others. His favorite target, and a favorite villain for many

presidents over the years, has been the media. It’s an easy target because someone can always disagree with the facts or can come up with an alternative theory for them.

I would encourage the man who is so comfortable patting himself on the back — and who seems to be surrounding himself with people who are so supportive of him — to learn to look in the mirror and grow with this enormous job.

Learning isn’t easy or necessarily natural. That’s especially true when you’re confident you know more than anyone else, even intelligence officials, and when you rely on your business or street smarts to win every battle.

Maybe it’s especially challenging for him to accept that he needs educating as a president, in a job which requires him to be decisive and consistent.

At the same time, the presidentelect has this opportunity to be a role model in the way he grows with the job.

I wonder, though, how he would deal with a leader with the same personality, self-confidence and strong will that he showed throughout the election cycle. Would he be able to adjust to the way someone else used his own playbook? Perhaps we have already seen glimpses of that, in the way he admires Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, with whom he seems to be sharing a daily global spotlight.

People on both sides of the political aisle probably agree that Trump is a character. It would be a wonderful moment if they all recognized at some point that he also had the kind of character that inspired others to learn, grow and compete against the best in the world.

Instead of recognizing and highlighting other people’s shortcomings, failures or deficiencies, Trump might also take a moment to see ways he himself can improve. If he shares his learning curve, he might provide a new route for others to do their best.

brushed against his body. Anyway, I got a call from the doctor four days later with the surprising news that despite its large size, the critter was an engorged deer tick.

Not good. We all know that deer ticks can carry Lyme disease and transmit it to humans when they suck up to you. We have had several deer sightings in the neighborhood, especially around a wooded piece of property nearby.

To me they are beautiful, graceful animals, and I watch them with admiration as they run. But I certainly don’t appreciate the bugs they can bring and leave behind as a souvenir of their visits.

The doctor asked me if I preferred waiting for the blood test, six weeks away, to determine if in fact I had been infected or if I wanted to go on the antibiotic regime immediately. I chose the latter and began taking 100 mg of doxycycline, with lots of water but no food as seriously instructed, every 12 hours. But the story doesn’t

end there.

After only two pills, I developed a headache that just wouldn’t quit.

This is apparently a not uncommon side effect with this medicine. So I was then transferred to 500 mg of amoxicillin three times a day for at least 20 days and advised also to take a daily probiotic, though not within two to three hours of each other, and to eat lots of yogurt. As we know, that only partially works to offset the distress to the gastrointestinal tract that accompanies regular doses of antibiotics. Plus I have broken out in splotches of itchy rashes, another unhappy side effect.

Bottom line: A tick bite can be a nasty thing, bringing along all sorts of minor and even major miseries. So from my experience, I hope you will check your skin regularly, even hard to see places, and not assume that a tick is just another summer pest.

Oh, by the way, Happy New Year!

A s-ticky start to 2017

ere we are, in a new year, and I am going to start off with a cautionary tale. I was just about to take a shower when I felt a small bump on my left thigh.

I thought that was strange since I hadn’t before felt anything there but it was just beyond my view as I fingered the spot and craned my neck to try and see. Then, to my amazement,

By Leah S. Dunaief the bump came off in my hand, revealing itself to be a tick. Ugh! The legs were moving so it was clearly alive and rather large, so I guessed it was a dog tick. With wonderful coincidence, I happened to have an appointment with the dermatologist that afternoon, so

Between you and me

I put the tick into a little plastic baggie and brought him this present. Although I half expected him to just throw it away, he in fact filled out the paperwork and sent it to a lab.

Now I am sharing this with you because I suspect that, like me, you thought tick season had ended with the start of winter. I even stopped putting Frontline on my golden retriever, figuring any ticks would have gone into hibernation or been killed off by the colder weather.

But I should have realized that the calendar and the weather aren’t always in sync. We have been enjoying fairly mild temperatures for this time of year and, as it turned out, so have the ticks.

Now I don’t know if the tick fancied me rather than my dog, or if he just found me as I was walking across the lawn or brushing against a bush while putting out the garbage. However it happened, I was, so to speak, stuck with him until that lucky moment when my fingers
