Port Jefferson Village

Quick-Way garbage collection signs off of Port Jeff, others try to take its place BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Many Port Jefferson village residents woke up one morning at the end of January to find their garbage would be taken by a different contractor. In a letter dated Jan. 28 sent to all Port Jeff residents signed up with them, Ronkonkomabased Quick-Way Sanitation Corp. said it would no longer be servicing the village and, as of Feb. 1, its contracts would move over to Yaphankbased Maggio Sanitation. “Since garbage facilities have been raising dump fees on a monthly basis, we are no longer able to offer our current price and would have to raise residents [sic] astronomically,” read the letter signed by President of Quick-Way Joseph Litterello. A representative from Quick-Way said they had no additional comment. Residents then received an additional letter from Maggio dated Feb. 1 saying their company would be servicing their account, and they would provide residents with two new garbage totes, one for trash and one for recycling, within the next eight to 10 weeks. On a post of the Unofficial Port Jeff Villagers Facebook group Feb. 3 village Mayor Margot

Garant said she was not notified by the company about the change. She said in additional posts the changeover did not have anything to do with the village government in particular. Joe Colucci, the president of Middle-Islandbased Colucci Carting, posted to the unofficial Port Jeff Facebook page Feb. 10 saying that if 500 residents call with interest, he would expand his operation to include residential garbage pickup, though during a phone interview he said he is also considering if 300 residents show interest he will provide services to the village. So far,

Colucci said he has received about 30 calls over the weekend. Pricing for garbage pickup would be $35 per month and $70 bimonthly. “It’s got to be beneficial for me to go in,” he said. Colucci said he was curious why Quick-Way didn’t simply raise its fees instead of ending service, though he has seen the cost of carting garbage increase for several decades. “The cost to dump garbage has [gone] up significantly, almost $100 a ton to get it out of the Island,” he said. “Now you have things like

the Brookhaven town landfill closing soon — there’s a lot of issues with garbage nowadays.” According to the official Port Jefferson Facebook page, there are eight sanitation companies currently allowed to operate in the village, still including Quick-Way, Maggio and Colucci Carting, as well as Islandia-based Jet Sanitation Services, Bay Shore-based National Waste Services, Holbrook-based Superior Waste Services of New York, Brentwood-based V. Garofalo Carting and Babylon-based Winters Bros. Hauling of Long Island. Some of these companies have, for the most part, only serviced local businesses or provide dumpsters. Town of Brookhaven residents pay an annual fee for their garbage and recycling pickup, but since Port Jeff village is an incorporated government, it has operated on different rules, asking residents to set up their own garbage carting contracts. The official Port Jeff Facebook post also said any company can apply to operate in the village with a one-year license, first by providing the village with a $2,500 bond payment, provide proof of liability, property and workmen’s compensation insurance, and by paying a processing fee of $50 plus $10 per truck operating within the village.

Port Jefferson Village

Port Jefferson village plans study for flood mitigation BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM At a Port Jefferson village board meeting Feb. 4, Mayor Margot Garant held up a picture of West Broadway in front of Ecolin Jewelers from March 2, 2018. It’s a panorama of part of the village underwater after the area was hit by winter storm Riley, taken by photographer Craig Smith. Though that photo spoke of how the village had once been known as Drowned Meadow, Garant said it was telling that the picture could have been any number of occasions in the past year. “Unfortunately, this is becoming an all too familiar picture,” Garant said. “We have probably had five or six events since 2018 that caused the three-way intersection to flood … flooding in and around Barnum Avenue is becoming a regular concern.” In July 2018, Port Jeff put in an application to New York State for a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program grant to update the 2013 Waterfront Revitalization Plan, an appendix to the village Comprehensive Plan Update. At the Feb. 4 meeting the board voted to go forward with Port Jefferson-based Campani and Schwarting

County

Architects, who in part submitted for the grant last year, to create a visioning study to address the issue of stormwater runoff, storm surges and future rising tide protection in an effort to resubmit for the grant in July. The proposed analysis would look at the flooding problem in the harbor, including Main Street and East and West Broadway, what causes it and what is predicted to happen in the next two, five and 10 years. “In short, I think it’s going to get worse,” said architect Frances Campani. In addition, the proposal document for the visioning study states they would study the watershed groundwater flooding problem, including bringing in existing data on stormwater catch basins, the culvert running to the Mill Creek at Village Hall, flooding and ponding at Barnum Avenue and flooding in the area between Wynne Lane and Maple. While the shoreline and Harborfront Park would be the expected areas of concern, Campani said the most concerning areas are East and West Broadway and the main stormwater drainage line, which partially runs underground and has become overcharged with water in the past. She added another problem could be the amount of asphalt in the village, which unlike

dirt cannot absorb any water. In addition, there could be a mention of widening certain parts of Mill Creek to allow more water flow. “Two things should be studied, certainly the park itself with an eye to flood mitigation and waterfront park design methods to help the uplands

areas,” said Campani at the Feb. 4 meeting. “Also the watershed area — it’s so closely linked we should tie them together as a study.” In September 2018, Port Jefferson was hit with major rains that inundated the village in water, causing people to become trapped in their cars and thousands of dollars in damage to local businesses, especially village staple Theatre Three. In the basement of the venerable theater, waters rose as high as four or five feet. New York State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said he was concerned that such damaging flooding could happen at low tide. He and other local officials feared what could happen if the same circumstances occurred at high tide. The visioning study proposal said it would be completed in four months, adding up to a total cost of $9,800. Village trustee Larry LaPointe said it was important to consider just where the water might go in efforts to drive it away from the village business hub. “A thing that really needs to be looked at is where do you put the water,” LaPointe said. “How do you get the water to go into places where it’s not interfering with our use of the village?”

Legislators, task force aim to reduce plastics in Suffolk County BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County legislators are looking to restrict the sales of several plastics, some harmful to health and others harmful to the environment. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), along with members of the Legislature’s Single-Use Plastic Reduction Task Force announced four policy initiatives intended to reduce plastic and polystyrene waste in the county at a press conference Feb.13. “Today we announce policies that will come to define our county’s environmental legacy for generations to come,” Hahn said in a press release. Hahn and the task force have outlined regulations directed at local businesses and the county. One of the proposed bills focuses on polystyrene, banning it in food service products including plates, cups, containers and trays. It would require businesses in the county to use biodegradable products, though the bill would exempt items used to store uncooked eggs, raw meat, pork, fish, seafood and poultry. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services classified styrene as a potential

human carcinogen and, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, polystyrene manufacturing process is the fifth largest creator of hazardous waste in the United States. “[Styrene has] recently been upgraded from a possible carcinogen to a probable carcinogen — a cancer causing chemical,” Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said. “Long Island has some of the highest cancer rates in the country.” Hahn said polystyrene and plastics are causing a waste management problem as well. “You see waste in waterways, on our beaches, on our roadways,” she said. A second bill would require single-use plastic beverage straws and stirrers to only be given in Suffolk County by request as a means of reducing plastic consumption. As an alternative to plastics, businesses would give customers biodegradable products, such as paper straws. There is an exception for those who have a disability or medical condition. Hahn and the task force also plan to prohibit the use of plastic products in all Suffolk County parks as part of their third initiative. Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) supports the proposed bills.

“We see that these things are happening — I know with the plastic bag ban there was some push back,” he said. “But it is nice to be able to do something that will make a difference and that works.” In conjunction, the task force proposed a requirement that all future contracts with concessionaires at county parks include a restriction on the use of plastic and nonbiodegradable cups, utensils and beverage straws. Hahn and the task force advised the issue of waste produced by these products is a more urgent problem than some people realize, and the county needs to clean up its act. These bills are a continuation of Hahn’s and others countywide initiative to reduce singleuse plastic straws. One project, called Strawless Suffolk, started in July 2018 and looked for 100 seaside restaurants in Bellport, Greenport, Huntington, Northport, Patchogue and Port Jefferson Village take a pledge to stop using plastic straws by Sept. 3, 2018. Hahn cites some landfills on Long Island are almost at full capacity and said that it not just about recycling more, rather its reducing the use of plastic items and to reuse things.

“We as a society as a whole need to continue to research and study this issue and product,” she said.” To further decrease the use of plastic products, a fourth initiative will call to replace existing water fountains with new ones designed to allow bottle filling at county facilities that have 10 or more employees and in county-owned parks that have water dispensers. “People will be less likely to use plastic water bottles and will be able to fill their own reusable bottle if they bring with them to our county buildings, parks and beaches,” the Setauket legislator said. The two nonlocal laws in the initiatives package, the installation of water fountains in county facilities and the concessionaires requirement, could be passed as early as March 5, depending upon legislative discussion and a vote. The other two local laws that apply to businesses in the county will require a public hearing, but could end up as law as early as April 9. “Plastic waste has become a tangible threat to our $5.6 billion tourism-driven economy,” Hahn said. “We are Long Islanders, our identity is tied to the water.”

Port Jefferson Village

Cappy’s Carpets owners propose new retail, apartment space BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A longtime Port Jefferson business, Cappy’s Carpets building, may soon triple in size to accommodate new retail space and nearly 50 new apartments. The Capobianco family, who owns the property, along with real estate firm Brooks Partners LLC, have unveiled plans for creating a three-story, mixed-use building on 1.15 acres of property at 440 Main St. The development will replace the existing carpet store along with the boat storage lot to the rear of the property. The proposed plans call for 1,200 square feet of retail space, a 1,500-square-foot restaurant and a 750-square-foot fitness center on the ground floor. Above that would be 44 one-bedroom and two, two-bedroom apartments on the second and third floors. Port Jeff Mayor Margot Garant said she was adamant the new space should have retail on the first floor. “We feel very strongly, despite everybody saying ‘Retail is getting killed [and] Amazon is killing small business,’” Garant said. “In providing a space where a small store that is attractive, it makes Main Street a vibrant street for everyone.” Cappy’s Carpets currently exists on a single-level building, but this development could raise its height to match the surrounding three-story structures. Renderings for the space provided by Hauppauge-based engineering firm VHB show a rustic aesthetic building trying to keep in tune with its neighbors. The Port Jeff mayor said original plans for

Site plans for the proposed development at 440 Main St. Photo from Port Jefferson Planning and Zoning Department

the structure put it at four stories, but the village trustees voted to change the code to restrict its height to 35 feet or 3 stories. She has seen the updated plans and said she appreciates the look of the structure’s facade. “We learned a lesson when the Shipyard building came in,” Garant said. “We’re trying to maintain our character while allowing these property owners to build within the code … there has to be a careful balance between our very sensitive downtown.” The westernmost portion of the first floor will consist of surface-level parking. The garage will encompass 37 spaces. The available parking outside the structure will have 41 additional slots and one loading space. The parking would be accessed off Main Street and through an egress on Barnum Avenue. The parking garage and 29 of the outside stalls will be reserved for apartment

tenants. Another 12 remaining outside spaces will be available for employees and patrons of the commercial Main Street businesses. Cappy’s Carpets owners did not respond to requests for comment. According to a traffic study conducted by VHB, the weekday average traffic for Main Street was less than 18,000 vehicles per day in the vicinity of the project site as of March 2016. Saturday and Sunday daily volume during the same week was recorded at less than 20,000 and 15,000 cars, respectively. The study does not give the volume of traffic for Barnum Avenue. The study states the development would only lead to an increase of 61 new trips during peak a.m. times, 71 new trips in peak p.m. times, and 115 new Saturday midday trips. It concludes by saying the project would not have any major effect on traffic in Port Jefferson village.

Garant said the New York State Department of Transportation has already approved renovations to the three-way intersection between Barnum Avenue and Main Street as well as traffic features south along Main Street. Current plans call for removing the triangle median where the two roads connect, making one egress and ingress, eliminating the need for pedestrians to make two crossings along one road. The next project is to install a traffic light at the intersection of Old Post Road and Main Street in hopes of eliminating some problems of the accident-prone intersection during rush hour. The mayor added she hopes to see these changes in the next year, or at least before any new Cappy’s Carpet development finishes. “We’re in the last stages of negotiation phases with DOT, but the traffic light is definitely happening,” Garant said. “The changes to Barnum are also something we hope will alleviate some of the problems with pedestrians crossing that intersection.” The Village of Port Jefferson has released the draft site plans for the site and has them available at the Village Hall, the Port Jefferson Free Library and the Building and Planning Department at 88 North Country Road. As of press time, the site plans are not yet available on the official Port Jefferson Village website. A public hearing about the proposed development is set for March 14 at 6:30 p.m. Residents can submit comments to the Planning Board until March 24.

Police arrest woman who allegedly stole patients items in RP dentistry Suffolk County Police arrested a female dental assistant for stealing jewelry from patients at a dental office in Rocky Point Feb 8. Arieta Gouvakis, a dental assistant at Long Island Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry, located at 31 Fairway Drive in Rocky Point, allegedly removed jewelry from two patients who were being treated at the office under her care on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.

Port Jeff wrestler cinches 100th win To be a wrestler takes a certain level of dedication. Early morning runs, balancing a social life in order to train, staying in shape and competing are just a few things that Earl L. Vandermeulen High School senior Rick D’Elia has done every winter since he began wrestling for Port Jefferson as a seventh-grader. The dedication, discipline and desire he demonstrates each day are helping him reach his goal of being the best he can be.

All of this hard work has paid off for D’Elia as he is a three-time Suffolk County finalist, two-time Suffolk County champion and one of only 13 wrestlers in the history of Port Jefferson to win more than 100 matches. “Winning 100 matches is an awesome achievement,” head wrestling coach Mike Maletta said. “It takes consistency. In wresting, as in life, you must show up and compete every day. Rick has done that at such a high level for the past four years.”

Port Jeff middle schoolers put American imperialism on trial Port Jefferson Middle School eighth-graders took their classroom lessons to another level when they teamed up to create a mock trial about American imperialism. After learning about the political, economic and cultural influences of the country, the students in Kayleen Everitt’s and Tara Sladek-Maharg’s English and social studies classes, re-

spectively, represented the prosecution against imperialism and spoke as witnesses to the trial as representatives of Latin America. The English class served as the jury and gallery, while the jury deliberated at the end and decided the trial, the gallery’s role was to evaluate each representing side’s use of the ethical strategies of ethos, pathos and logos.

A popular bed and breakfast in Port Jefferson will be put up for sale. The Fox and Owl Inn, located at 1037 Main St. in Port Jefferson, has served the community for the past four years. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom house was purchased by current owners Rebecca Kassay and Andrew Thomas back in 2013. Within a year, they were able to convert the space and open as a bed and breakfast. “The past four years have been really incredible for us,” Kassay said. “It is bittersweet reflecting on our time here.” As a business owner alongside her husband, she said they have built many relationships with members of the community over the years calling Port Jeff, “the greatest village in Long Island.” Both Kassay and Thomas took some time off from their careers, as a community organizer and architect, respectively, to run the

inn. They put a lot of work and love in the 1850 Victorian house but now they’re looking to take the next step in their respective career paths. Kassay said her job requires her to travel a lot, which means being out of the house, and her husband recently began teaching architecture at New York Institute of Technology and fell in love with teaching. The inn is for sale with the house and included in the sale is the LLC for the business. The inn is located a short distance from beaches, restaurants and shopping in the area. The current asking price for the house is $779,000. Kassay hopes for the process to be a smooth transition and for the inn to continue to be open. “We are so grateful to the community for embracing us,” she said. “As well as our fellow business owners who have been so open to collaborate with us and work on the goal of getting people to come and visit Port Jeff.”

County

John Kennedy Jr. throws hat in the ring for county executive BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Less than a month ago, Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) was still debating whether he would run this year for Suffolk County executive. On Feb. 11, Kennedy stood shoulder to shoulder with other top Republican leaders to announce his running for the top county office. “None of us forgets who we work for, and that’s the taxpayer,” Kennedy said. “We will stop the hemorrhaging, stop the bleeding. We will cut up the credit cards, start to pay our debts and bring life back to Suffolk County.” Kennedy, along with other county Republicans, has been consistent in attacking county Executive Steve Bellone (R) for the current state of the county’s finances, pointing to a drop in bond rating from A3 to Baa1 on the Moody Rating Scale since 2015. In a Jan. 31 article by TBR News Media, Eric Naughton, Suffolk’s budget director, said while the county’s bond rating has dropped, Kennedy was “overstating” the impact. He went on to say Moody’s, which gives the bond grades to municipalities, was only looking at the past and not the future. Kennedy has called for a 90-day top to bottom look at the county’s offices to see which

ones can be pruned, which employees can be shuffled around and what belts can be tightened. He also called for an end to excessive spending, while cutting county fees and reducing the size of the county’s red light camera program. He said he was especially concerned with delays in payment to public employees and to contractors. “We don’t pay our daycare providers on time, we don’t pay anybody on time,” the comptroller said. “We make them all our bank.” John Jay LaValle, the Suffolk County Republican committee chairman, said during a phone interview the party is throwing its weight behind the current county comptroller. So far two other Republicans have announced their candidacy, including Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga). LaValle said former police officer Larry Zacarese, who previously ran for Suffolk County sheriff in 2017, was also considering running on the Republican ticket. The Republican committee chairman said he would ask the current candidates to sit down and work out their differences, saying a primary could do damage to the party’s chance to win. “If we do a primary, we give the executive seat to Bellone,” LaValle said. Kennedy announced his plan to run for office at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge, surrounded by U.S. Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-Shir-

ley) and Peter King (R-Seaford), along with many other elected Republicans. King ran again for his position alongside Kennedy in the 2018 electoral season. “He ran us all into the ground — I’ve never seen a harder working campaigner,” King said. Trotta said during a phone interview he would be willing to sit down with Kennedy and the Republican leadership, potentially to drop his candidacy if he agrees with what he hears. “I welcome John Kennedy to the race, this is what democracy is all about, and no one knows more than John about what a financial mess the Bellone administration has created,” Trotta said. Kennedy has worked in public office for

years, working with current Brookhaven town supervisor Ed Romaine (R) when he was county clerk before being elected to the Suffolk County Legislature in 2004. He then later ran for and was elected to the Suffolk County comptroller position in 2014, boasting at the time he was vastly outspent by his opponent on the campaign trail. Bellone’s office came out the gate swinging as Kennedy’s candidacy was announced. “No one has opposed government reform or voted to increase spending and debt more than John Kennedy,” said Bellone spokesperson Jason Elan in a press release. “Under [Bellone’s] watch, I have seen red light cameras pop up over intersection after intersection, finding new ways to put their hands in their pockets,” Zeldin said during Kennedy’s campaign announcement. Kennedy was also joined by his wife Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset), who is running again this year for re-election. Both husband and wife said partially it took so long for him to announce his candidacy because of the concern one’s campaign fight could affect the other’s. “It was a weighing process for both of us,” Legislator Kennedy said. “It’s about what he can do to make it better here so that everybody can afford to stay.”

NYS legislators take steps to protect coastal waters from offshore drilling BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM State legislators are trying to ensure the federal government doesn’t murk up New York’s coastal waters. Both the New York State Assembly and Senate passed legislation Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 to prohibit oil and natural gas drilling in New York’s coastal areas. The legislative action comes a year after hundreds of Long Island residents attended a public hearing at the William H. Rogers Legislature Building in Smithtown to voice concerns relating to discussions on the federal level over potential drilling in the Atlantic Ocean. The bill now awaits the signature of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket), the Assembly environmental conservation committee chair, was one of the legislators who hosted last year’s Smithtown hearing. The assemblyman said in a statement those who attended the hearing unanimously condemned the federal government’s proposal to drill for oil and gas in open waters. “This legislation will safeguard our water and shores from the dangers of fossil fuel

exploration and drilling, and will support our efforts to move our state toward cleaner and renewable energy sources,” Englebright said. The legislation would prohibit the use of state-owned underwater coastal lands for oil and natural gas drilling; prevent the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Office of General Services from authorizing leases which would increase oil or natural gas production from federal waters; and prohibit the development of infrastructure associated with exploration, development or production of oil or natural gas from New York’s coastal waters, according to a press release from Englebright’s office. The new legislation will reaffirm the state’s coastal management practices to ensure the protection of endangered and threatened species, along with tourism and recreational and commercial fishing industries, according to Englebright. “Our largest industry in New York, and especially in coastal New York, is tourism,” Englebright said. “Oil and gas exploration is incompatible with tourism. We’ve seen the kinds of mistakes that have occurred in other parts of the world where oil and gas exploration near recreation areas and near active fisheries has occurred. We don’t want those kinds of chaos to

descend upon our economy or our state.” The legislation updates New York State laws that are decades old, according to a press release from state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport). “Offshore drilling is the single largest threat to the sustainability of Long Island’s environment,” Gaughran said in a statement. “I am proud that under [Senate] Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins [D-Yonkers], New York State is moving toward protecting our natural resources and banning senseless

proposals to drill off our beautiful coast.” State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who was the original lead sponsor of the legislation in the state Senate, said he urges the governor to sign the bill. “We have painstakingly worked to preserve and protect our pristine waters, and we certainly do not want to imperil all of our efforts to maintain clean water by allowing drilling off our shoreline,” LaValle said. Kevin McAllister, founding president of Sag Harbor-based nonprofit Defend H2O, said restricting oil and gas exploration off the coast is important as the drilling for fossil fuels negatively impacts the environment. He said it’s critical for states along the entire Eastern Seaboard to follow suit, and he urges Cuomo to enlist coastal solidarity. “If rising seas, ocean acidification, killer floods aren’t sobering enough, don’t overlook a legacy of regret with oil extraction and transport,” he said. “Santa Barbara oil spill, Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon all inflicted massive damages to the marine and the coastal environment over thousands of square miles. In the oil industry, accidents happen. The best way to prevent another catastrophe is to close the door on further exploration.”

Comsewogue Warriors fight off Huntington Blue Devils BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Near the close of the regular season, Comsewogue’s boys basketball team was already secure in the postseason berth being 8-7 in League III, but they needed a win at home for a higher seed in the playoff brackets. They got that victory handily against Huntington, notching a 7244 victory on senior night Feb. 7. Comsewogue junior forward Jaden Martinez led the Warriors in scoring with six field goals, a triple and two from the free throw line for a total of 17 points. In addition, Martinez was just as effective under the boards ending the game with 17 rebounds. Junior Mike McGuire followed up with four triples and three from the charity stripe for 15 points, senior guard Devin Rooney netted 11 and junior Nick Stiles banked 10. Juniors Daniel Danziger and Lex Colato topped the scoring chart for the Blue Devils with 15 and 12, respectively. Freshman Max Rentsch followed up netting 11 to conclude their season at 2-14 in League III. With the win Comsewogue improves to 9-7 in League III, which makes them the 16th seed in class AA and will face Longwood, the No. 1 seed, Feb. 14 at Longwood High School in the opening round of the playoffs. Game time is set for 6:00 p.m. Photos clockwise from top left: Comsewogue junior Anthony Cambria blocks a shot; senior Charles Craig scores from the paint; junior Jaden Martinez hits a jumper for two of his team leading 17 points; sophomore Milan Johnson shoots; junior guard Michael McGuire drains a 3-pointer; Huntington freshman guard Max Rentsch tries to get a shot off between two Comsewogue defenders; and junior forward Nick Stiles shoots for two.

Watch the SC executive race In support of raising tobacco age to 21 Suffolk County’s newest elected officials have taken their oaths of office in recent weeks, and some are still learning the ropes of their new office. But now, voters need to shrug off any remaining 2018 election season fatigue. County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) formally announced his campaign to take on incumbent County Executive Steve Bellone (D) for the county’s top office. Kennedy already faces a challenge from county Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) who’s made it no secret he wants to take charge, while his fellow Republican party member Larry Zacarese is watching and waiting in the wings. The state’s Jan. 18 voting reform bills have already brought out a wealth of contenders for the 2019 county executive race, as the legislation pushed the state’s primary elections from September up to June. This effectively lengthens the campaign season by three months. For the sake of voters, we hope all candidates will use these additional months to talk about critical issues — not make it an extended political slugfest. This year’s county executive race is critical. Our next leader faces a never-ending series of challenges to ensure this part of Long Island remains a safe, affordable place we’re still proud to call home. The county’s financial status is delicate. One party cries we face fiscal ruin if spending patterns continue while the other claims despite sinking bond ratings, the future will be brighter. Everyone knows taxes are high, wages haven’t kept up with inflation and Suffolk’s cost of living already ranks among the highest in the nation. Our future county executive needs to be ready to tighten down, cut costs and keep life affordable. Key to that will be a successful negotiation of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association’s contract that pays the salary of our police officers. It is one of the biggest pieces of the county’s annual budget and it’s on the table — how much taxpayers dig into their pockets will depend on a successful contract. Not to mention many of the county’s other employee unions need new contracts at reasonable and fair rates as well. Both parties agree that a focus on infrastructure and securing economic growth will help to ensure the area’s future success and stem the “brain drain,” or the droves of the 20- and 30-year-olds leaving Long Island to keep their hopes of the American Dream alive. How to best do it is a matter for debate that should be addressed by all candidates. We’d also like to see promises kept to existing projects, some of which have been decades in the making, such as Wading RiverPort Jefferson Rails to Trails and its commitment to help push forward with sewers in Kings Park. A lot of important tasks will fall to whoever wins the 2019 county executive race, so we encourage Suffolk residents to extensively question all candidates and demand concrete answers. Don’t settle for vague promises without a plan for execution. To the candidates, don’t let this dissolve into negative campaigning, name calling and bullying. We expect you to have an open-door policy and intelligent discourse of your future plans, if elected. You are expected to rise to the challenge before you, not mire Suffolk in a cesspool of negativity.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D)’s inclusion of tobacco prevention measures in the New York State 2019 proposed budget aims to protect our youth from the ill effects of tobacco use. As a volunteer with the American Heart Association, I’m proud that we have long advocated for anti-tobacco measures. We are glad to see that the proposed budget includes raising the minimum legal sales age for tobacco products to 21. We applaud the governor’s proposed statewide action. Tobacco 21 has already passed local legislation in both Nassau and Suffolk counties and expansion of this legislation statewide will enhance sparing

youth the potentially deadly effects of a lifelong smoking habit. While the tobacco industry has done a good job marketing these products to youth through candy flavors and the false idea that they don’t contain nicotine, the truth is most contain the same amount of nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. Adolescent brains aren’t fully developed until age 25, giving nicotine an incredibly impactful influence on cognitive functions, including the area of the brain related to addiction. Importantly, we know that raising the age will be successful. A 2015 study from the Institute of Medicine shows that

passing a new law can stop young adults from picking up their first cigarette. It also makes it harder for high school students to purchase tobacco and pass it on to their younger friends. Smoking is a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke, and the leading cause of preventable death. Simply put, tobacco control measures that reduce smoking rates will save lives throughout our state. Dr. Russell Schiff President Long Island American Heart Association Board of Directors Director Ambulatory Pediatric Cardiology at Northwell Health

Help remember WWII veterans and others In an America now sharply divided along political and social lines, and at a time when our standing in the world is up for grabs, we still are united in recognizing the contributions to democracy that men and women in the armed forces, and almost all whom were civilians, made during and after World War II. As memories of those times are fading and being lost, the Port Jefferson Free Library has launched a “living memory” project to preserve those memories.

If you were in the armed forces in WWII, or in the Korean War, or have any memories of life in Port Jefferson during WWII, the library has a website to enable you to record those memories. Just go to the website at portjefflibrary. org, click on “Adults” followed by “Veterans Wall of Honor” and then to click on “Memories of WWII Questionnaire” and tell us what you wish. Please keep in mind that whatever you record will be open to the public, so only tell us what you wish your

neighbors, your children and grandchildren and the casual library users to learn about your experiences and recollections. It’s easy for a retired history teacher to pontificate about the importance of recording the past and to assert that everyone is “a part of history.” I do hope this PJFL resource encourages you to step forward. Others really are interested in what those long-ago days were like. Joel Rosenthal Trustee, Port Jefferson Free Library

Governor should not celebrate abortion On Jan. 22, New York State enacted the Reproductive Health Act which now permits abortion up to the moments before birth. This legislative action was greeted with thunderous applause in the state Senate. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) joyfully celebrated by ordering that One World Trade Center Spire be lighted in pink. God, ethics, religion, doctors, scientists, public referendum and a 200-year-old declaration of guaranteed inalienable right to life could not be considered. The New York politicians

decided when life begins and when it can be extinguished. They made this repugnant and unprecedented judgment with handclapping, yelling and cheers. Former state governor Mario Cuomo discontinued the death penalty for convicted murderers due to its cruel and unusual punishment. His son, Andrew, signed into law possible cruel and unusual execution of fully formed innocent babies. One cannot deny that the young life’s heartbeats, blood flows, body moves and pain is felt. This desperate act of a mother

need not require chastisement or punishment. However, the innocent infant should not be a martyred victim. Neither deserves more suffering. Both mother and child must be supported physically, emotionally, socially and especially financially for as long as the mother determines. The function of the state is to protect life. The state’s expression of jubilation is the renouncing of a humane conscience. Philip Griffith Port Jefferson

Raising the bar beyond good enough

W

e’ve all had moments when we wonder: Is this good enough? The answer depends, in part, on the importance of the outcome. If we’re a cardiac surgeon and we have our hands inside the chest of someone who needs a new valve or stent, good enough doesn’t cut it. We need to make absolutely sure we’ve done everything we can D. None because no one of the above wants to open up BY DANIEL DUNAIEF someone’s chest a second time to correct a small error or to retrieve something we should have removed. If we’re driving a car on a slippery road, a

turn that’s good enough on a sunny day may not be sufficient in the rain or on ice. We may need to slow down enough that we don’t need to hit the brakes as we head into the turn. Those are, of course, more extreme examples. Fortunately, most of us live in a world where what we do doesn’t seem so critical. We might be writing a paper about Shakespeare, filing legal briefs, collecting receipts for tax purposes or shoveling snow from our driveway. Each of those tasks, in and of themselves, may not seem to require our best because we have better things to do, we want to get through the class, or we’re tired and we need to give ourselves a rest. Nonetheless, the smaller efforts can, and do, add up. When we’re shoveling snow, good enough might miss a slick patch of ice that our wife or best friend might slip on while they’re walking to the car. Going beyond good enough could prevent the discomfort or injury from falling. Even an essay about Shakespeare may

require us to think more deeply about what it means to be in love. Down the road, that might help when we’re considering ways to express our admiration or appreciation of a partner, giving us wisdom and words beyond our years. Great words boost the power of our sentiments, just as the sight of a whale breaching transforms a trip to the beach into a memorable outing. Of course, operating at full strength or beyond good enough for everything may be so physically and mentally draining that we might spend too much time on activities we consider trivial, leaving us with fewer resources to tackle bigger challenges. So, how do we determine the difference between an activity that requires us to be good enough and another responsibility that mandates something more? For starters, we may not be capable of more than a few extraordinary efforts in a day. That may be a product of how much sleep we get, how much we can control in our day or how we

feel, especially if we’re battling a head cold or some chronic condition. Keeping ourselves healthy and making sure we have enough energy can and will give us the ability to vault us over the good-enough threshold. Good enough can become a habit, just like so many other efforts. We can run a mile every other day or we can go a bit farther each time. We may find that good enough for others, or even for former versions of ourselves, is just a start. We may raise the bar for the expectations we set for ourselves to the point where good enough today is so much better than earlier efforts. Routine or even mundane activities likely don’t require perfect performance. Doing them well, or even beyond “good enough,” keeps us sharp and focused for our more important tasks and also sets a good example for our children, who are watching and listening. We can and will improve our lives when we decide to raise our own expectations for good enough.

An attempt at midwinter inspiration, with some tongue in cheek

P

residents Day, as we honor those we hold on a pedestal, is a time for inspiration. Here are some inspirational sayings, some humorously so, that have been culled from the internet. 1.

DUNAIEF up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it, time will pass anyway. 4. Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. (Marilyn Monroe) 5. What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you

create. (Buddha) 6. Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom. (Jim Rohn) 7. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. (Frank Outlaw) 8. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. (Herman Cain) 9. Rule No. 1 of life. Do what makes you happy. 10. No matter how you feel … get up, dress up, show up and never give up. 11.

Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. 16. You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and see what happens. (Mandy Hale) 17. When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you. (Lolly Daskal) 18. Follow your passion. Listen to your heart. Trust the process. Be grateful. Life is magic and your dreams matter. 19. Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day. 20. The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old but on building the new. 21. You should never regret anything in life. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it is experience. 22. For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness. 23. Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more

Three: If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away. (Stephen Hawking) 25. Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option. 26. Be with someone who knows exactly what they have when they have you. 27. Money talks … but all mine ever says is goodbye. 28. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. 29. Marriage is like a deck of cards. In the beginning all you need is two hearts and a diamond, but by the end you wish you had a club and a spade. 30. An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you. 31. Yawning is your body’s way of saying 20 percent battery remaining. 32.
