Winter has worn down our local roads, opening up caverns in the asphalt for our cars to navigate, like the one above on Woodhull Avenue in Port Jefferson Station, in which a young boy stands to demonstrate its size. The persistent cold and ice have made the potholes worse, but help is on the way. Read the full story on page A11.

Mute swans get last word

From the Highlands to parkland BY ELANA GLOWATZ

State revises plan to reduce population of pesky birds

Port Jeﬀerson Village took a step Monday to preserve 6 acres of open space near the Highlands at Port Jeﬀerson condos.

Open space advocates can breathe a sigh of relief — the grassy 6-acre parcel near the Highlands at Port Jefferson condos has been declared parkland. Concerned residents have been working for a few years to preserve the village-owned land, along Highlands Boulevard in upper Port, even starting a petition in early 2012. Kathleen Riley, the most visible of the local advocates, at one point was standing outside the Port Jefferson library every day to collect John Hancocks. “We want to maintain this now to preserve it for generations,” Riley, a retired teacher, said at the time. She did not return a call for comment on the parcel’s new parkland designation, which

the Port Jefferson Village Board of Trustees approved at their meeting on Monday. The village has owned the 6 acres for many years — local businessman John McNamara gave the land to the public when he developed the Highlands condos in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Originally, under a 1986 declaration of covenants and restrictions, the plan was to build three swimming pools and a bathhouse on the land. The next year, those restrictions were removed and McNamara gave the village $987,000 to develop the land at a later date. While that money was deposited in a fund specifically for recreational purposes on that parcel, previous village boards chipped away at the sum over time and it is now gone.

It’s that time of year again — drivers without Port Jefferson Village resident stickers will have to start paying to park in the village’s downtown municipal parking lots. The village turned on the meters this week, after its annual winter break from the machines. Parking costs a quarter for every half hour. The meter hours run from 10 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.

Developers are proposing apartment complexes at two blighted west Broadway properties: the old Heritage Inn, at left, and the Islander Boat Center, above.

Plans for eyesores are sore points for residents Speakers overwhelmingly oppose apartment complexes to be built at Heritage Inn, Islander Boat Center sites By Elana Glowatz

Two public hearings about proposed apartment complexes on West Broadway broke down into bickering on March 12, as tempers flared over the projects’ density. If approved, the developments would bring a combined 164 apartments to the stretch between Barnum Avenue and Brook Road, at the western entrance to Port Jefferson Village.

The Village Center’s atmosphere was tense as the planning board held the hearings on the Residences at Port Jefferson, at the site of the old Heritage Inn, and the Waters Edge apartments, at the next-door Islander Boat Center — both developments would replace longtime eyesores. “This is a blight; it’s an albatross on the community,” said David Sloane, an attorney with Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman LLP who presented plans for the

Heritage Inn site. But residents reiterated concerns from previous hearings on the two developments and concerns familiar to local apartment proposals as a whole: density and traffic. “Those are the two things that bother me the most,” Nancy Griffith said during the first public hearing last Thursday, on the Residences at Port Jefferson. That project calls for 42 one-bedroom

and 70 two-bedroom apartments, with parking below the building and landscaping all around. The three-story structure would reach 47 feet above West Broadway. TRITEC Real Estate Company does not need any variances or special exceptions from the village to build the apartments, which would take up less than half of the 3.74-acre property’s area.

DEC releases new plan for mute swan population control By Elana Glowatz

Following public outcry against a plan to eliminate wild mute swan populations over the next decade, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has released a new draft of its plan that focuses on “nonlethal” methods to control the birds. Thousands of people, including animal rights advocates and environmentalists, had sent in comments last year on the previous draft of the plan, whose stated long-term goal was “to eliminate freeranging mute swans from New York State by 2025.” Many took issue with the DEC’s plans to euthanize the adult birds and questioned the validity of the department’s research on mute swans’ impact on the environment. In addition, state legislators approved a two-year moratorium on any plan to euthanize the swans and required the DEC to “give priority to nonlethal management techniques.” The first draft of the plan also called for using some swans for zoological purposes and transferring others to people licensed to hold them in captivity. According to the DEC, mute swans, which have orange beaks and make less noise than other types of swans, can contribute to high fecal coliform bacteria counts on bodies of water used for drinking or swimming. They can also attack humans, which can make them “a serious nuisance and render some land or water areas inaccessible for outdoor recreation during the nesting season.” There are about 2,200 free-ranging mute swans in New York, the DEC has estimated, and they can be found on Long Island, in New York City and in the lower Hudson Valley and Lake Ontario regions. The population has jumped from where it was in the 1970s, when mute swans numbered fewer than 700. New York has other species of swan, but mute swans are considered invasive and non-native — they were brought here in the late 1800s and used for ornamental purposes — and thus were targeted for

management. The DEC’s goal, as stated in the plan’s most recent draft, is to reduce the mute swan population to its 1980 numbers: fewer than 800 birds. The DEC has been operating under the same species management plan since 1993, and the new mute swan plan would replace the older one. In preparation for the plan, the DEC conducted research between 2004 and 2008 “to document abundance, survival, reproduction, movements, ecological impacts and management of mute swans in New York.” Following public backlash of the first draft, the department this month released its new draft of the management plan, which focuses on alternatives to euthanization, and a document responding to public comments it received. “Because many people object to the use of lethal control methods, especially killing adult birds, DEC will use ‘nonlethal’ methods … where practical and timely, to achieve the management objectives,” the new plan stated. Those methods could include terminating embryos in the swans’ eggs or placing the birds in licensed facilities. “However, this will require some commitment of funding and assistance from organizations and individuals who wish to see nonlethal options used to the extent possible. Placement and proper care of swans in public parks or other controlled settings can be costly to local governments or communities.” Despite the emphasis on nonlethal methods, the DEC said in its response to public comments, officials would still resort to lethal methods “wherever immediate removal of birds is necessary to alleviate a site-specific conflict … and live-capture is not practical or no facility is readily available to accept the birds.” The new DEC plan’s agenda for minimizing the impacts of mute swans on other wildlife and habitats includes increasing public support and awareness; preventing new swans from entering wild populations “through intentional releases, escapes or natural reproduction”; MUTE SWANS continued on page A5

Brookhaven piles on funding for marina repairs Icy waters damage pilings and docks By Erika karp

The town’s frozen harbors and waterways may have been a dazzling site for Brookhaven residents, but the iced-over waters are proving costly. Brookhaven officials amended the 2015 capital budget last week to add a new project for replacing docks and pilings at the town’s 15 marinas. For the first time in many years, bodies of water like the Great South Bay and Mount Sinai Harbor froze over for extended periods of time and caused the pilings — the wooden posts that support and line the docks — to become lifted out of place. North Shore ports, including Port Jefferson, Mount Sinai and Stony Brook, experienced some damage, according to Brookhaven Parks Commissioner Ed Morris, but for the most part were spared. “The extent of it on the North Shore was minimal,” Morris said in a Monday phone interview, adding that the same couldn’t be said for the South Shore. Marinas and docks at Sandspit, Forge River and Fire Island’s Davis Park were hit hard — more than 200 pilings need to be reset and/or replaced at Davis Park alone, Morris said. While the capital budget amendment allocated $700,000 for the repairs, Morris said the North Shore projects will cost about $64,000 and the South Shore projects will amount to $260,000. Leftover funds could be used for other related work throughout the year. A few days before the amendment’s approval, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said the damage could pose a delay in opening the marinas by as much as two weeks. Morris remained hopeful that while there could be some delays, the majority of marinas would be open the first weekend of May, as per usual. “I would hope the boaters would be a little patient,” he said. In separate interviews, Morris and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) agreed that the impact of frozen waterways was much greater this winter. Bonner said the town budgets for piling and dock repairs and replacements every year but, as Morris pointed out, the frozen waters persisted for an extended period of time — something he had never seen before during his 17 years working for Brookhaven. Bonner said she couldn’t recall the last time Mount Sinai Harbor froze over but said a lot of old-timers remember it. According to Morris, Chesterfield Associates Inc., of Westhampton Beach, will cover the North Shore projects, while Stout Construction Inc., of Patchogue, will lead the South Shore jobs. The contractors have 30 days from the start date, which should commence soon, to complete the repairs.

and controlling the number of mute swans on downstate tidal waters. Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), one of the legislators who worked to place a moratorium on the swan euthanization, said in a statement last week that the DEC “has heard our concerns and has begun to move in the right direction.” But the new plan still allows for swans to be eliminated under certain circumstances, and he cautioned that the birds “should only be destroyed as the absolute last resort, and only when they are posing public danger.” The public can comment on the plan until April 24.

THE TIMES OF SMITHTOWN

Bank CEO John Tsunis arrested at SBU event

Gold Coast Bank CEo John Tsunis faces a forcible touching charge after an incident at a stony Brook University basketball game earlier this month. his attorney says he denies the charge.

The CEO of an East Setauket bank faces a misdemeanor forcible touching charge after a run-in with a security guard working a college basketball game at Stony Brook University, authorities said. John Tsunis, a 64-year-old Poquott resident and 2011 Times Beacon Record Man of the Year honoree, was arrested March 4 after being accused of grabbing the buttocks of a female security worker following a scuffle in which he tried to navigate between VIP suites, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office affidavit. He faces up to one year in jail if convicted, the DA said. The affidavit filed against Tsunis said he was attending a Seawolves basketball game at Island Federal Credit Union Arena on March 4 when he tried passing through an entryway between Suite 3 and Suite 4 in the VIP section. That was when the security worker tried to stop and redirect him to go another way, to which Tsunis responded by grabbing her from under the armpits and picking her up in an attempt to move her over, the affidavit said. “Put me down! Let go of me,” the worker said in the affidavit, as she grabbed onto a handrail. Tsunis eventually put her down, and then squeezed her right buttocks with his left hand several seconds later, the affidavit read. “Did you really just grab my ass?” the complainant asked, before Tsunis laughed and continued through to the next suite, the affidavit alleged.

David Besso, a lawyer representing Tsunis, said his client emphatically denies any guilt with regard to the allegations made against him. “Mr. Tsunis was attending a sporting event at the university with his 11-yearold son and was trying to get back to his suite,” Besso said in a statement. “A university security guard, subject of many affidavits from fans, has admitted that she denied Mr. Tsunis entry into his suite.” He was arrested at 8:41 p.m. on March 4 and released soon after, at 12:38 a.m. the following morning, records showed. Closed circuit video of the incident was also captured on a thumb drive and placed into evidence, the affidavit stated. Stony Brook University did not return requests for comment. The affidavit filed against Tsunis alleged the same security worker has had problems with the CEO in the past as he walked back and forth between suites, but never to the point of physical contact. His arraignment was set for April 30 in First District Court in Central Islip. Aside from his role at the helm of Gold Coast Bank — which has branches in Islandia, Huntington, East Setauket, Farmingdale and Mineola — Tsunis is also the owner of the Holiday Inn Express in Stony Brook, and president and CEO of Long Island Hotels, which develops and manages hotel properties in the New York metro area. Tsunis is also a past chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Long Island Museum, as well as past president of the Three Village Chamber of Commerce.

Pothole–haven By BarBara Donlon

The Brookhaven Town Highway Department is recouping from the cold and moving on to a new task: filling those pesky potholes. “This proved to be an exceptional winter,” Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro said in a Monday interview. “This year was worse than last year in terms of icing.” The winter also proved to be costly. Losquadro estimated the department spent double the $3.6 million budgeted amount for snow removal, despite town officials injecting the budget line with an

additional $1 million. Now, as the weather is warming up, the department is moving forward with repairing the roads. Losquadro said the frequent belowfreezing temperatures made the ground freeze deeper and is leading to potholes “literally forming overnight.” He said the warm daytime temperatures and colder nights aren’t helping the situation either, as the warming and refreezing of the ground allows liquid to get into cracks and expand. Although the holes aren’t finished forming, repairs are on the way. Losquadro said local asphalt plants are opening soon, which will benefit the

extending workdays by two hours. While residents can try to get reimbursed, the likelihood of it happening during this time is unlikely, as the potholes are to be expected. Losquadro urges residents to call the town when a pothole is visible so they can write it down and fix it as soon as possible. As for next winter, Losquadro is already planning. He said he would ask for an increase in the snow removal budget, as he wants to avoid being in this situation again.

department, as workers will no longer have to travel to and from Deer Park and Bay Shore to retrieve the materials. “They were only able to [pick up] two loads a day, which doesn’t go a long way,” Losquadro said. Despite the town’s effort, the potholes have been a nuisance for some residents. Mt. Sinai Bagel Cafe owner Marcus Argyros was driving on Mount Sinai-Coram Road on Monday when he popped a tire. “I didn’t swerve and because it was in the middle of the road, I hit it and it popped my tire,” Argyros said, as he worked to put a spare tire on his car. “It’s like Mario Kart with all the potholes right now.” In an effort to complete all of the repairs, Losquadro said that the town is

PARKLANd Continued from page A1

The board of trustees resolution designating the property as a public park on Monday, which took effect immediately, said the village wants to conserve open space and the board believes the measure is in the best interest of residents: “The dedication of the property as a public park shall represent the unequivocal and irrevocable devotion of the property to a public use and shall manifest an intention that the property shall be used presently and in the future as a public park.” Trustee Bruce Miller abstained from a vote on that resolution, after a debate about its language — he had wanted to insert the word “passive” before “public park,” as a way of restricting what type of public park could be developed at the site. He did not get support from the entire board on that effort. Trustee Bruce D’Abramo and Mayor Margot Garant both said they would like to receive public comment on the matter before restricting the parkland in any way. “I’d rather see what they have in mind,” Garant said. There was also hesitation about the word “passive” itself, as the trustees debated its specific meaning — which most agreed varies and could be open to interpretation — and its effect. “I’m into passive,” Miller said. “To me it’s not that complicated.” But Garant read an online definition

of passive parkland that gave an example of a library as an appropriate use. “So I’m saying, just because you’re saying passive doesn’t necessarily solve the problem,” she said with a laugh. Miller did not face any opposition on the idea of keeping the park basic. “Benches, walking paths, maybe some lighting — I think that’s about as far as I’d like to see it developed,” Trustee Larry LaPointe said. But that agreement did not translate to a change in the resolution language — Trustee Adrienne Kessel voted with Miller on a motion to amend the resolution, while D’Abramo, Garant and LaPointe voted against the change. “I’m very much in sympathy with Bruce’s intent,” LaPointe said, “I’m just concerned that I don’t think the word accomplishes his intent.” The trustees, however, voted unanimously on a follow-up resolution to hold a public hearing by the end of the year to define and determine parkland uses for the 6 acres. The village’s draft comprehensive plan — which details suggestions for future development and improvements in the village — includes a section on upper Port Jefferson that lists possible uses for the Highlands parcel, such as public gardens, recreational fields or a community facility like a YMCA. But for now, the only solid plans are to realign the section of Highlands Boulevard that cuts through the 6-acre parcel, to ease traffic congestion near the railroad station.

James Burke races to No. 2 in the nation Port Jefferson senior runner finishes final indoor track and field season with a multitude of achievements By Desirée Keegan

Almost no one can catch him. This past weekend, Port Jefferson high school senior James Burke earned a silver medal at the New Balance Nationals Indoor at the Armory in Manhattan, making him the second fastest miler in the country at 4 minutes, 8.48 seconds. It’s just one highlight of his final and most memorable indoor season. “I’ve just been more about trying to win races and disregarding time, not really watching the clock, because my mentality with that was every record you get will eventually be broken, but every title you get can never get taken away from you,” Burke said. Although he wasn’t watching the clock, Burke ran a new national No. 1 time in the 1,000-meter at the Molloy Stanner Games in January, finishing in 2:26.35.

Burke said the 1,000 is, of course, not mononucleosis last spring and could not his forte, but he was excited to be able to compete at states. “I was waiting the whole show his range. year for that day. Remembering what hap“It was definitely a big confidence boost- pened last year, every day, for the whole year, er for me to know that there’s a variety of it was definitely a good feeling to place first.” events that I can excel in; to know that I’m Then came the national championship, not limited to one event,” he said. which went a little differently for the Royal Besides topping the country, the mark compared to his previous races, but his also broke the Long Island record of 2:27.39, coach was still proud of his athlete. set by Chaminade’s Sean Kelly last season. “He ran beautifully, he did what he had Following that race, Burke competed in to do, he went out faster than he ever went the New Balance High School Boys’ Mile out before,” Cawley said of his six-year varat the New York Road Runners’ Millrose sity runner. “James persevered and he never Games in February, and finished first with gave up.

But as a result of the speed, Burke a state competition but also because of the believes he got in his own head. memories that haunted him from the same “That was the fastest I’ve ever gone meet the year prior. through 800 meters, by 10 seconds, in the Last winter, Burke made his move with mile, so it was interesting because as I was about 600 meters to go in the race and was going through it at that pace, I saw the clock passed with nearly 20 meters left, resulting and thought I should be really tired but I in a second-place finish. wasn’t,” he said. “Going through at a pace “That image was in my head pretty much I’m just not used to going got in my head all year, because I didn’t get a chance in the a little bit, so I told myself I was more tired spring,” Burke said, explaining that he had than I really was.”

But Burke got through the mental minefield to secure his second-place finish. As a result of the new feat, Burke believes that he can continue to shave time off his mile to reach his goal of four minutes. “So much of racing is staying in the right mental place throughout the race,” he said, which is also why each time he sets foot on the track, he remains confident and determined that he will win. Cawley said this quality is critical to his senior’s success. “To go in to a race with that attitude gives you an advantage, because when you doubt you’re going to beat somebody, you’re not going to beat them,” he said. “James is a reality check, because with him around, no matter what you do, you just don’t look as good. He’ll always exceed your expectations and he will always perform to the best of his ability. There’s no doubt in his mind, when he stands on the track, that he’s going to beat everybody else.”

Do more than the bare minimum

New York Secretary of State Cesar Perales hit hauppauge last week to outline Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to increase the state minimum wage from $8.75 to $10.50. in his pitch, Perales projected a rippling economic impact that could potentially give 150,000 workers a pay raise and bring $382.3 million in value to Long island. While this newspaper supports the notion of empowering our low-income earners with higher minimum wages, we still only see it as a one-dimensional, short-term fix that does not address the bigger issues of affordability. raising the minimum wage is a risky move that could end up hurting us in the long run if not done in conjunction with other means to address inflation and making New York — and Long island — more affordable and livable. Long island has already been struggling to prevent its young people from relocating because of its lack of affordable living options, and raising wages could consequently end up bringing the cost of living even higher for those still hanging on. it’s already hard enough to live on Long island as rents continue to skyrocket and costs continue to increase. That’s why we need a multi-pronged approach to coincide with the established proposal to raise the state minimum wage, which has increased a total $4.50 since 1991. There are plenty of pros to raising the minimum wage, and Perales outlined key points during his hauppauge visit — he said the number of workers on Long island earning minimum wage would jump from the current 85,264 to 202,248. But the state must not ignore the cons that come with such a move, including the potential layoffs at Long island’s small businesses lining the main streets of our communities. our leaders too often put short-term patches on long-term wounds. Those immediate fixes serve a purpose, but we should be looking at the bigger picture.

To The ediTor: on March 12, i attended a meeting at the Port Jefferson Village Center. This meeting was dedicated to the building of two new apartment complexes on West Broadway in Port Jefferson. i left that meeting severely chagrined about the information i received. it seems to me that these two builders are just moving forward with their plans with no input from the people who live in the surrounding area. i, for one, have lived on West Broadway in Port Jefferson for more than 44 years. does anyone realize or care about how dangerous this particular stretch of route 25A happens to be? i can personally attest to as many accidents as the number of years that i have lived here. is this new information for the planning board of Port Jefferson Village? i should have spoken at the meeting, but i was so shaken by the absolute ownership of these projects that i could not think of the words to say out loud. So i am doing it in writing and i want and deserve an answer.

Two apartment complexes are proposed for West Broadway, including at the old Heritage Inn property, above.

in addition to which — does the general public know about the fact that our taxes will go up significantly? Why weren’t we, the residents of this incorporated village, given some say in the matter? i, for one, am not against progress, but i am against regress. it seems to me that these projects are going

to hurt the Port Jefferson villagers, as well as the people who are the future tenants of these apartment buildings. This is all about making a few people wealthy, at the expense of the many. Thank you for your attention. Yvonne Affronti Port Jefferson

Really a right?

Some believe marriage should be only between a man and woman.

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

To The ediTor: When is a right not a right? When the perceived right is an action or behavior that is immoral. The intellectual discourse on the question of same-sex marriage has reached new lows of incoherence with recent letters to the editor in other local publications and President obama’s remarks celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Selma march. These remarks have aired the oft-repeated canard equating the civil rights movement to the homosexual rights movement. in particular, the same-sex marriage debate has descended into a myopic and heavy-handed view from same-sex marriage proponents with virtually no substance being offered, but vilification of those who know and believe that redefining marriage is wrong. Let’s not make the colossal mistake the president and others are making when they equate indigenous biological characteristics such as race with behaviors such as homosexuality.
