Town

Local equestrian team canters off to nationals BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Horseback riding is a sport that requires full commitment, courage and a particular skill set, one based on mental fortitude and bravery to even get up on the horse. For members of the Old Towne Equestrian’s middle school team, they can’t picture their lives without their horses. Now their collective passion, as well as their recent successes in tournaments throughout the season, has propelled them to the Interscholastic Equestrian Association National Finals taking place April 26-28 in Pennsylvania. Myrna Treuting, head coach of the team, couldn’t be prouder of the girls. “We’ve had a pretty strong team this year,” she said. To get to nationals, individual and team performances throughout the season are crucial in getting the points necessary to qualify. First, if the team has enough points, it qualiﬁes for regionals, and the top two teams then go to zone ﬁnals. The Old Towne team won the IEA Zone 2 Final March 16, securing a spot in nationals and bringing home a trophy back to the Old Towne Equestrian Center barn. Two members of the team: seventh-grader Maggie Graney of Garden City and eighth-grader

Ali Treuting, Myrna’s daughter, also qualified individually to compete at nationals. “This is the first time that the middle school team has [collectively] qualified for nationals,” the head coach said. According to Treuting, the team is the top ranked middle school team in all of New York State.

Fellow coach Lauren Sobel said the journey has not been easy. “They are very dedicated, hardworking and they show great sportsmanship,” she said. “Going to nationals is very exciting for us.” Sobel said most of the girls have been riding at the barn their whole careers, and started at a very young age, some before they could even walk. In preparation for nationals, the coaches have made sure the riders are securing extra practice and are getting used to riding without stirrups. In many of the competitions, riders draw the name of the horse they will ride out of a hat the morning of the event. It is a way of evening the playing ﬁeld as many riders become comfortable riding with their own horses. Treuting said it’s the luck of the draw someEQUESTRIANS Continued on A6

Village of Port Jefferson

Port Jefferson School District announces new superintendent BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Port Jefferson School District named the first female superintendent to the post Tuesday, and to top it off, she’s a nineyear Port Jeff resident. At the board of education meeting April 9, the board named current Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Jessica Schmettan, 42, as the new superintendent effective Nov. 1 this year. “I’m a resident, a taxpayer, and I have two kids in school,” Schmettan said of her connection to the village. “I’m just so excited to be chosen.” The upcoming superintendent beat out a field of over 20 candidates, many of whom Kathleen Brennan, the board president, said were highly qualified for the position. “Just because she was an inside candidate, she was not tossed any softballs,” said Brennan. Schmettan holds a bachelor of science in special education from Long Island University, a master’s degree in instructional technology from the New York Institute of Technology, and School District Leader certification from the College of New Rochelle. Before coming to Port Jeff in 2016, she began her career as an educator in the Three Village Central School District. She also has experience with special education from the Roosevelt Union Free School District and United Cerebral Palsy of Long Island. She went on to work for seven years in the Sachem Central School District as administrative assistant for instructional support and programming and later assistant superintendent for elementary curriculum and instruction. Though there was one other female interim superintendent in the past, Schmettan is the first full-time woman appointed to the position “It’s exciting for my daughter so she can see what she’s capable of,” the upcoming superintendent said. In August 2018, current Port Jeff superintendent Paul Casciano declared his intention to step down from his position. In the following months, continuing into the new year, the district worked with Suffolk County BOCES in the process of finding a new superintendent. Deputy Superintendent Sean Leister said most of the costs to the district were from advertising in newspapers, including The New York Times. While he is still waiting for the bills to come back with precise amounts, he estimated the cost to be about $15,000 to $17,000 to the district. While Casciano originally intended to stay until July, he extended that until Oct. 31 to aid in the transition. “I’m so proud of Jessica as the first woman to be appointed to the head of schools in Port Jeff,” the current superintendent said. “She’s proved she has a deep knowledge of our core mission, teaching and learning.” During the meeting, Brennan spoke directly to Schmettan. “One of the things you said in response to one of the questions you asked was you’re going to have to have courageous conversations. And that phrase struck me, and that kind of describes Port Jeff going forward, we are going to have to have a lot of courageous conversations.” Many of those conversations will revolve around the impact of the settlement with Brookhaven town and the Long Island Power Authority over the taxes levied on the Port Jefferson Power Station. The settlement agreement cuts LIPA’s taxes on the power

Local, state officials back proposed Port Jeff offshore wind project BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The wind was whipping along the shores of Port Jefferson Harbor April 3, ironically as local and state officials, along with representatives from energy corporations, advocated in support of a proposal to build an offshore wind “hub” in Port Jefferson to use wind for renewable energy. Danish energy company Ørsted, the largest energy company of its home country, teamed up with Eversource, a Massachusetts-based energy company, in submitting a joint bid to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Their project, a wind farm called Sunrise Wind, would be located over 30 miles east of Montauk Point, but using Port Jeff as its base of operations. Fred Zalcman, head of government affairs for Ørsted, said once the wind farm is operational the hub in Port Jeff would create up to 100 permanent full-time jobs as well as temporary construction jobs while the hub and its facilities are being built. “When completed in full scope [the project] will provide up to 500,000 households with clean and renewable electricity,” Zalcman said. “All without any visual impacts to Long Island beach goers and residents.” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) praised the proposal for promoting the transition to clean energy on Long Island. “This is about jobs and economic development,” he said. “We have talked about the importance for Long Island transitioning to clean energy — and that transition needs to happen quicker than a lot of people thought.” The operations and maintenance hub in Port Jeff will provide dockage for a 250-foot service operation vessel. The ship would come to port every two to four weeks for approximately one to two days at a time to exchange crew and materials for the wind farm. The vessel will be able to accommodate about 60 technicians and 40 crew members.

The county executive mentioned the proposed project is an opportunity to create a “21st century industry of high paying jobs.” “These are the jobs of the future, and these are the jobs we want to see on Long Island and in Suffolk County,” he said. Zalcman said if they are awarded the bid by the state, they would need to break ground and begin construction in Port Jeff within 18 months to meet deadlines. Development could last through the mid-2020s. Kevin Law, president and CEO of the Long Island Association has been promoting offshore wind for the past 10 years, and he said it works. “We now have multi-billion-dollar international companies looking to invest in our region,” Law said. “I’ve always said our energy challenges are economic development opportunities.” Ørsted is also the owner and operator of the Block Island Wind Farm, the first and only operating wind farm in the U.S. currently. Last year, they acquired Deepwater Wind, the company originally handling the Block Island project, and now are responsible for New York’s first offshore wind project, the South Fork Farm under contract with the Long Island Power Authority. Maria Hoffman, chief of staff for Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), said the bid amounts are not made public until after the awards are announced. Each of the four major developers seeking the NYSERDA funds submitted several proposals with varying megawatt capacities. In conjunction to the project, Ørsted announced in February it will invest $10 million to create a National Workforce Training Center at Suffolk County Community College to train students in offshore wind and renewable energy technology. The creation of the hub in Port Jeff and the training center are contingent on NYSERDA selecting Sunrise Wind in its pending offshore wind request for proposal. NYSERDA has said it plans on announcing the winner of the award within the month, according to Ørsted officials.

times, and it doesn’t come down to the horse but to the skill of the rider. She mentioned her team has experience riding many different horses and can easily adapt to a new steed. “I think going to nationals is a great opportunity to advance and learn to ride different horses outside of your comfort zone,” seventh-grader Tess Hairston of Selden said. Graney added the season has been pretty good, and it’s really cool to go back to nationals this year. The young girl had qualiﬁed individually for nationals last year as well. The members of the team are close with one another, and though they don’t go to school together, they relish the time they spend with each other at the barn. “It is exciting, you get to learn together and get to grow as friends,” Hairston said. It’s nice because we get to see each other more often and do things that we love.” Treuting has owned the Old Towne Equestrian Center for close to 30 years and started a horseback riding team about 15 years ago, just around the time IEA was created. The organization’s mission is to introduce equestrian sports to students grades four through 12. In addition to the middle school team, Treuting coaches a high school team and the Stony Brook University Equestrian Team as well. “I think we can do quite well at nationals, we have a very good team,” she said. “We are so proud of them, they work hard and they deserve it.” The Old Towne Equestrian Center is located at 471 Boyle Road in Selden.

New affordable housing units could be coming to uptown PJ BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The eponymous Uptown Funk project in the upper portion of Port Jefferson village may soon be coming to a head. Plans are under review at the Port Jefferson planning department for a new affordable apartment complex in the property known locally as Bada Bing for the now decrepit cafe that once occupied the site. “This is 100 percent attainable housing,” said Port Jeff Mayor Margot Garant. Site details include it as a four-story project with 60 one-bedroom apartments. The site will also include 4,500 square feet of retail located directly adjacent to the Long Island Rail Road train station. Project notes said the site will be located in the Comsewogue School District. The $4 million property development is being led by Upper Port Jefferson Village LLC, owned by Parviz Farahzad of East Setauket-based Little Rock Construction, which was in charge of building the retail complex across from the train station in Stony Brook. The developer is partnered with Conifer Realty LLC, a real estate development firm with projects across New York State and south into Maryland. Recently Conifer was at the head of the Peconic Crossing development in Riverhead, a development of 45 apartments giving preference to artists. “We think Conifer is such a well-known name — they’ve done so many projects on Long Island and New York State that they’re a real credible partner at the table,” Garant said. This project also includes plans for an underground parking garage incorporating 60 spaces, and the developer will need to pay a Payment in Lieu of Parking fee for all the spaces that would be required for retail, according to Port Jeff planning department documents. Alison LaPointe, the special village attorney for building and planning, said Conifer has already submitted a formal site plan application for the development, and the planning board awaits amended plans from the applicant before continuing the environmental review process and to schedule public hearings. All future plans for uptown port now depend on when the developers starts to put shovels in the ground. Uptown Funk was meant to be completed in three stages: the first being the Texaco Avenue parking lot, the next being the Metropolitan Transportation Authority parking lot, and the last being the creation of Station Street running just north of that train station lot. This year the MTA has finished construction of the new parking lot at the Port Jefferson train station as part of a growing effort to modernize the more than century-old terminal. In an update to its website, the MTA said the parking lot has been repaved and was officially

open for use as of Jan. 9. The new parking lot includes new repainted lines that Port Jefferson village officials said were widened from before. Garant had said those old lines were too narrow for some vehicles. The end product means there are less spaces than there were previously. This work was all part of the ongoing Uptown Funk project aiming to revitalize the upper port area. In 2017 the village was awarded $250,000 in jumpstart money to start plans on the project, and the village also applied for a grant from the Empire State Development Corporation, a state entity, for $500,000. Texaco Avenue parking lot, at 85 spaces, was planned to cost $850,000 when it started in May 2018. The village needed to wait until construction was finished on the LIRR parking lot, phase two of the project, before working on Station Street. The village has to wait until Conifer demolishes the Bada Bing site before starting construction on that new road. The site construction includes a 10-foot setback on the property for the village to come in and develop Station Street, which will pass by the LIRR parking lot on the north end and connect to Oakland Avenue. Conifer is currently seeking approval for attainable housing partnership funding from New York State, according to Garant. She added the process for getting uptown revitalized has been long, from getting the state grant funding to finding developers willing to craft new spaces acceptable to the vision village officials have for the uptown area. “I really have good feelings about what’s going to start happening up there, but it’s like pushing a boulder up a hill,” the village mayor said.

1,4-dioxane chemical a concern on Long Island

County water authority announces new rates BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Many have attributed New York state of having “the champagne of drinking water,” though in recent years concerns over water quality have grown, especially on Long Island. After toxic chemicals have been found in Long Island’s drinking water, 1,4-dioxane, has been found to be the chief concern on the Island, and currently it is not regulated by the state. The chemical has been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a likely carcinogen associated with liver and kidney damage after a lifetime of exposure to contaminated drinking water. In March, 1,4-dioxane was found in private drinking wells of two homes on Oakside Drive in Smithtown where results showed concentrations higher than 1 part per billion, which is the proposed recommendation by the New York State Drinking Water Quality Council in December 2018. It is not a definitive standard, and the state Health Department is expected to propose a water standard for 1,4-dioxane in the near future. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the Island’s drinking water, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, beginning on March 25, sent informational letters and planned on visiting the 29 homes served by the wells along Smithtown’s Landing Avenue, Oakside Drive and Valley Avenue. From there, each homeowner would set up an appointment with the SCDHS and its staff will come and secure water samples from the wells. Grace Kelly-McGovern, public relations director at SCDHS said as of April 10 every homeowner received a letter regarding the surveys and 15 of the wells at these homes have already been sampled. Three more homeowners have requested samplings, but the department has yet to receive a response from the other 11 homeowners. According to Kelly-McGovern, once the samples are collected, they will be sent to the SCDHS lab, which is located in Yaphank, and will be tested for 1,4-dioxane and other contaminants. The process should take one to two months. She added it could take several months until homeowners are notified of the results of the samples. A concern of 1,4-dioxane is that it can’t be removed through conventional treatment methods and involves a complex process of mixing the contaminated water with hydrogen peroxide, treated with ultraviolet light and then gets sent to tanks filled with carbon where the rest of contaminants are filtered out. The Suffolk County Water Authority’s Central Islip treatment system currently has the sole advanced oxidation process system capable of removing 1,4-dioxane on Long Island, though it required state approval to get it. At a forum in early February, the Long Island Water Conference estimated the cost of treatment systems for close to 200 water wells contaminated by 1,4-dioxane to be at $840 million. Implementing these treatment systems, they said, could lead to higher water rates for homeowners. The conference coalition asked for additional state aid and for a delay in when they would have to meet the standard. As the issue for Long Island’s water providers continues, the SCWA board voted to create the first tiered-rate structure in the agency’s history April 1. The new rate structure took effect the same day and the base

drinking water charge for all customers will increase from $1.95 per thousand gallons to $2.028 per thousand gallons. The new tiered rate will be $2.34 per thousand gallons for all consumption over 78,540 gallons per quarter. Customers will only pay the tiered rate on water above 78,540 gallons per quarter, and the standard rate up until that point. According to the authority, the action is in accordance with an initiative undertaken by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which established a goal for suppliers of reducing peak season water use by 15 percent by 2021 in order to ensure the sustainability of water resources. “Conservation rate structures have been adopted all across the country to encourage Americans to adjust their water-use habits for the long-term preservation of available water resources,” Jeffrey Szabo, the SCWA chief executive officer said in a press release. “We expect the new rate structure to help protect ratepayers who are careful in their water use and help provide the continued viability of our aquifer system.” The 1,4-dioxane chemical has also been found in industrial solvents. A March study released by the Citizens Campaign for the Environment indicates the chemical is present in 65 of 80 household products tested, including baby products, shampoos, detergents and body washes. According to Adrienne Esposito, CCE executive director, the products were tested by the ALS environmental laboratory in Rochester which is certified by the state Department of Health. The CCE argues that the chemical could end up down the drain and seep into drinking water through septic systems or wells. Similarly, state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) has introduced a bill that would ban household products containing 1,4-dioxane in the state except in trace amounts. The bill is currently in committee.

Suffolk displays designs for rapid transit bus lanes on Nicolls BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County Road 97, commonly known as Nicolls Road, is one of Long Island’s main thoroughfares, connecting Stony Brook on the North Shore to Patchogue on the South with nearly 16 miles of highway. For years the county has examined ideas to relieve rush hour traffic; now it is proposing a rapid-transit bus system, high-occupancy vehicle lanes and 16 roadside bus stops. “It’s going to be dual function, and also reduce congestion on Nicolls Road, so its two birds, one stone effect,” said William Hillman, a chief engineer at Suffolk County’s Department of Public Works. In a 2015 county report prepared by multinational engineering firm Parsons Brickerhoff, the project cost was originally estimated at upward of $200 million, though plans have been scaled down slightly since then. Babylon-based engineering firm Greenman-Pedersen, which was the latest company tapped to research the Nicolls Road project, presented April 2 summaries of its initial plans at Suffolk County Community College. The plans, as they currently exist, call for 16 new stations positioned along Nicolls as bus terminals connecting to existing Suffolk County Transit routes. The plans would also include 16.5 new miles of dedicated lanes to bypass traffic congestion. Service of these bus lines include a frequency much higher than any current county bus, from a weekday peak of every 10 minutes to a weekend peak of 20 minutes. Presenters did not offer details on the bus-

es’ fuel source nor did they describe where new stoplights or other traffic slowing devices may be implemented. Larry Penner, who worked for more than three decades in the Federal Transit Administration regional office and now comments on ongoing projects as a self-described transit historian, said that buses typically get right of way in among normal traffic. Mike Colletta, a project engineer at engineering firm Greenman-Pedersen, which created the most recent presentation on the road, said the firm was recently put onto the project by Suffolk County, and is still in the very early stages of design. County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) said the Legislature has been approving the project, applying for grants and getting funding toward the corridor studies for years. The project still has a while to go before the county can

estimate the true impact on traffic. County officials worry that people will not use buses. “By making the buses faster, more reliable, more frequent, we may have a chance to get people to sit in it and get out of their cars,” Hahn said. While representatives from the county and engineering firm could not give an estimate into the amount of vehicles, Penner said the county still has many things to consider, including costs of roughly 10 new buses, 16 stations and proposed amenities, such as real-time bus locators, similar to the units found at the train stations. Seating and overhangs for the stations themselves must also be factored in. “Here’s the challenge they face: The density in Suffolk County is far less than Nassau, and far less than New York City,” Penner said. “How many people would drive to one of these 16 Bus Rapid Transit stations and how many people will take a commuter bus and switch to the rapid transit when you can get in your car and get there much more quickly, that will be the challenge they face, because time is money for people.” These proposed stations would link up to existing Suffolk County Transit bus routes. Multiple existing bus routes already travel along or intersect with Nicolls, including the 3D, the S62, S69, 6B, S58 and 7A, though only two routes use

the county road for a significant distance. Service on Suffolk County Transit has also been spotty for a long time, with users often left waiting for buses for over an hour. Bruce Morrison, the president of the Selden Civic Association, said he is skeptical of the project, questioning how many people would use it, especially with existing issues on the regular county buses. “Will they get the ridership?” Morrison said. “If it’s not attractive to the public, you’re going to have empty buses.” Buses would operate in the HOV lanes on the inside of the road and along the specialized bus lanes along the outside portions of the road. One proposed route would take these buses down the Long Island Expressway, through the Ronkonkoma Train Station and the expected Ronkonkoma Hub project as well before linking back up to Nicolls. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) has been touting his Connect LI plan for years. In 2014 the county started exploring several other possible projects. Expanding Route 110 and the Sagtikos Parkway is among the other options. In 2015, Bellone shared his expanded plans for $300 million bus transit plan to connect Long Island’s downtowns, colleges, research and business centers. At one point, the county executive’s office floated the idea of building a rapid transit in the median of the well-populated road. Environmental impact studies are ongoing and necessary to ultimately receive federal funding. In addition to the new route, engineers are also touting designs for a new trail that could run parallel to Nicolls. This path would be akin to the Rails to Trails project, but unlike the 3-mile Greenway Trail from Setauket to Port Jefferson Station, and the upcoming 10-mile project from Wading River through Mount Sinai, this path could be well over 15 miles of trail, crossing under the LIE and over other high trafficked roads like Middle Country Road. The 2015 study allocated $15 million for the biking and hiking trail. Discover the world’s best walk-in bathtub from 5 Reasons American Standard Walk-In Tubs are Your Best Choice 1 2

A dozen students in Earl L. Vandermeulen High School’s Gay-Straight Alliance recently attended the 23rd annual LGBT Conference at the Charles B. Wang Center at Stony Brook University. Accompanied by co-advisers Kristin Britt and Dinarae Camarda, members of the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance spent the day attending workshops on topics including upstander training, enhancing their school’s GSA Club, LGBT

history, community and youth organizing, and health and social justice. “This annual event helps to empower students to advocate for positive social and health-related choices as well as being able to learn and share in a supportive environment,” Britt said. More than 500 students and 600 participants were in attendance at the conference, touted as the largest to date.

station in half incrementally for the next eight years. Schmettan said she plans to resurrect the budget advisory committee, so the public can get involved in the process of crafting future budgets. She expects the district will continue to see cuts and will have to make some difficult decisions, but she is optimistic about the future of the district, saying “we’re up to the challenge.”

Board adopts 2019-20 budget

The Port Jefferson school board has approved a budget that, while consolidating programs, will still see a small increase. Along with the budget, the board is asking residents to approve the use of capital reserves to fix sections of the high school and elementary school roofs. The board approved a $43,936,166 budget April 9, a $46,354 and 0.11 percent increase from last year’s budget. The tax levy, the amount of funds the district raises from taxes has also gone up to $36,898,824, a $464,354 and 1.27 percent increase from last year, staying directly at the 1.27 percent tax cap. Officials said they had a lower tax cap this year due to a reduction in capital projects funded by general appropriations. If the district pierced the tax cap, it would need 60 percent of residents to approve the budget come the May vote, rather than the normal 50 percent. Leister said the district has slashed and consolidated a number of items, including professional development for staff, private transportation allocation, and a $142,000 reduction through scheduling and enrollment efficiencies for staff. The district has also cut the teacher’s retirement system by $25,000 and staff retirement system by $60,000. The biggest increases in budget came from health insurance for staff,

increasing by approximately $555,580, and benefits, which increased by $408,480. The district also plans to use $400,000 in the general fund budget to relocate the middle school office into an existing upstairs science classroom for what district officials said was security reasons. Leister said the district should be creating a tax calculator for district residents to roughly calculate their school taxes. The program should be available up on the district website in about a week. The board is also asking residents to vote on allowing the board to allocate funds from capital reserves, the funds built up over time from money unused by the end of each school year, to fix portions of the elementary school and high school roof, equaling $3,600,000. The board will have its budget presentation May 14 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium before asking residents to vote on the budget May 21. Residents can vote from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.

The Guide Dog Foundation is looking for passionate Long Island–based volunteers to provide loving homes to future guide dogs. Puppy raisers take home an 8-week-old puppy and care for it until it is between 14 and 18 months old. Puppy raisers play a vital role in the development of future assistance dogs: They spend countless hours caring for, teaching and socializing the pups. They are responsible for socializing their future guide dog and are encouraged to provide common day-to-day socializing opportunities and exposure to new and diverse surroundings. A well-socialized puppy will have fewer adjustments to make when it comes back to the foundation for formal training. “Our puppy raisers have an undeniable love, passion, and kindness that they each

share. It is an experience like no other and, while it requires work on the raiser’s part, our raisers are left with a priceless feeling of the good they’re contributing to the world,” said Lorin Bruzzese, puppy program manager, Guide Dog Foundation. The puppy raiser is also required to teach the puppy basic obedience, such as how to walk on a leash, sit and stay, down and to come when called. For anyone interested in becoming a puppy raiser, you can apply directly online at Puppy.GuideDog. Org. Interview opportunities are available upon request with Guide Dog Foundation representatives and volunteer puppy raisers. You can also call 631-930-9000 for more information.

Opinion

Editorial Value newspapers There’s something real about a newspaper, and it goes beyond the ink and page, beyond the action of picking one up at the drugstore or plucking it from the mailbox. We who work at TBR News Media imbue the paper, the one you hold in your hands right now, with our labor. If you could see us at our work, you would know just how hard and long we work to provide the community with as much local content as we can. Truly, the paper is alive. While we editors and reporters are active in the community every day, we know the lives of the people behind the paper are not front and center. Behind each of those bylines you might read in the paper today is a person researching, interviewing and eventually rapidly typing each deliberated word hunched over a desk. Each picture is edited and placed within the blocks of text. The ads are crafted by graphic designers spending hours arranging each one. We’re hardly some sort of news assembly line, working out of some monolithic New York City skyscraper. Our tiny, two-story office is located right here on the North Shore, blending into the surrounding rustic buildings of Setauket. This past weekend, a team from TBR News Media traveled up to Albany for the annual New York Press Association convention. Hundreds of reporters, editors and publishers from papers from across the state gather for this annual event in a single location. Listening to the voices of the people at other papers during this event can be both disheartening and encouraging. Advertising dollars are down; and, while research from the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Media Engagement shows journalists rate themselves high in credibility, accuracy and trustworthiness, the public has a much lower opinion. “Fake news” has become a common phrase, one that was initially used for the express purpose of distorting facts during the 2016 presidential campaign. It’s now regularly used to denigrate a pillar of our democracy, which concerns us. It’s important for people to understand the importance of our profession to a healthy democracy. Comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable is an expression often used to describe the role of the newspaper. We aim to hold people in power accountable and report on government operations, so citizens become better informed voters. We take this role very seriously. A good chunk of our staff lives within our coverage areas along Long Island’s North Shore. We carefully report on the community because we are a part of that community. We wish to see it thrive because we ourselves care about what should happen to our neighbors and the place in which we all live. What does that mean for you, the person holding the paper? Know that we appreciate you. You’re keeping the paper alive.

Letters … We welcome your letters. They should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste. We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation. Email letters to kyle@tbrnewsmedia.com or mail them to The Port Times Record, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733.

Letters to the editor

Generation X can learn from actor’s death Amid all of the idiocy of present-day politics and celebrity scandals, we have all too often been remiss in our ability to feel the loss of those who contributed positively to society. On March 4, at the age of 52, Luke Perry passed away after suffering a massive stroke. His loss may not have affected many members of this community, but for those of us who are members of Generation X, it is truly sad. Sad, not only because a good man, a family man who never wreaked havoc on Hollywood and actually had some acting chops has died, but also because it is a reminder that Gen X is slowly slipping away without the slightest recognition. Perry played an iconic character on a cheesy show, “Beverly Hills, 90210,” throughout the 1990s, a show that my

generation related to because it was truly the first of its kind. Daily life was depicted a little more realistically then the modest shows previously aimed at this stage of development and a lot more demurely than present-day television. With Perry’s untimely passing Generation X has been forced to recognize our own mortality. It has also been revealed that Gen X has almost become irrelevant. Those born in the years that encompass this generation — mid-1960s to early 1980s — are stuck in the middle. We have to work twice as hard for half as much, jobs are not intended for the skills we have acquired, and we are suffering medical maladies that were only assumed to afflict those in their golden years. Baby boomers may not be reaping all that they

deserve in retirement, millennials live in fear of opiates and school shootings, and all the while Generation X is quietly dissipating with little cognizance of what is being lost. Perhaps this is a lot to glean from the death of one actor, but it is important to recognize the contributions of an entire generation while we are still here. Baby boomers built this country and millennials are the future, but we are the backbone and, sadly, the good die young. So my fellow Xers, get your checkups, don’t ignore symptoms, have fun with your kids, try to relieve stress, and every once in a while remind everyone that we are still here. Stefanie Werner East Setauket

Agenda to overthrow Trump is backfiring Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch and Christopher Steele should all be arrested and charged with conspiracy and collusion to overthrow the presidency of Donald J. Trump (R). Trump has been under fire since election night for having the unmitigated gall to overturn the Bush-Clinton-Obama dynasty, as there was no contingency plan in place for such a scenario. While the godless/progressive/Stalinist gang has seemingly had their way for the past 10 years, aided by the Democratic National Committee-controlled media, their time is about to end. The nightly Stephen Colbert/

Seth Myers/Jimmy Kimmel hatefest will no longer seem so relevant. If Presidents Ronald Reagan (R) or even John F. Kennedy (D) could see today’s political state of affairs, they would be stupefied. Journalism is a profession on the ropes: with Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, Chuck Todd, Wolf Blitzer and Rachel Maddow on a 24/7 mission to destroy my president, I see only now how Sen. Joe McCarthy (R) was, if nothing else, a sage and soothsayer 60 years too early. The United States is nearly 250 years old. At every turn, every crisis, God has been there to validate our righteous

might and inherent goodness, a beautiful experiment closer to perfection than any in human history, which is why people from five continents have been beating down the door to come here for more than a century. The good news: The so-called “Democrats,” also known as progressives/ Jew-haters/racists/Stalinists/Maoists, have finally committed political hari-kari. Trump 2020 is a done deal. The Democrat “clown car”on the way will make the last GOP “clown car” look like a VW Beetle. Michael Meltzer Stony Brook

Accidents bring out the best and worst in us Our community is very fortunate to have good neighbors. Unfortunately, we also have at least one person who has lost his moral compass. Case in point: My wife and I went shopping at the Setauket Stop & Shop. Our auto was neatly parked in one of the

outlined parking spaces. Upon return to our car, significant damage was noted. A very nice lady saw a man driving away in his pickup truck after striking our auto, clearly a hit-and-run event. She was not able to see the license plate number. I called 911, and a patrol car arrived promptly. The officer

was courteous and professional. The lady also photographed the damage to our auto and forwarded the photos to us. Many thanks. This incident has not diminished our faith in humanity. It has enhanced it. Anton and Denise Richter Stony Brook

Competitive people get stuck in an elevator

our people get into an elevator together. They kind of recognize each other, but they’re not sure so they smile politely and nod. They’re all going to the 7th ﬂoor. On the way up, the elevator gets stuck. Mr. B, the baseball coach, looks at his watch and shakes his head. Ms. S, the soccer coach, paces back and forth, as if she’s blocking a goal. D. None Mrs. V, the violin teacher, closes of the above her eyes, taps her BY DANIEL DUNAIEF feet and imagines the rhythm of a Mozart concerto. Mrs. Jones tries to text her three children, but the elevator doesn’t get any

cell service. “This shouldn’t take too long,” Mr. B offers hopefully. “I’ve been stuck in elevators, had rain delays and all kinds of problems in the past. We’ll be ﬁne.” “Oh, hey Mr. B,” Mrs. Jones says, her voice shaking a bit. “It’s me, Joan Smith. I’m John’s mom.” “Right, right, I knew you looked familiar,” Mr. B says. “Did John have a chance to go hit in the cages like I told him to?” “No, well, he had a violin lesson, so he couldn’t,” Mrs. Jones replies. “But I know he wants to and he’ll get to the cage this weekend.” “This weekend?” Mr. B sighs. “By then the big game will be over.” “So, you’re the reason John couldn’t concentrate during his lesson,” Mrs. V says, as her foot stops and she swivels to face Mr. B. “Excuse me?” Mr. B says, crossing his arms over his chest. “John has been slumping recently and we need him to start hitting again. He has

tremendous potential and we’d like to see how far that will take him.” “Wait, John Jones?” Ms. S asks, turning to the group. “John is a fantastic goalie and we need him for our club game this weekend.” “I thought soccer was a fall sport,” Mr. B sighs. “Right, and baseball is a spring sport and yet during our busiest season, John seems to sneak away for extra hitting and throwing,” Ms. S says. “Well, he needs to practice all year round. What’s he going to do with soccer?” Mr. B adds. “You’re kidding, right? You think he’s going to play baseball in college?” Ms. S asks. “Does anyone have any idea how talented he is on the violin? Have you ever heard him play? He is way ahead of his peers on the violin and could easily play at a much higher level,” Mrs. V says. “He never talks about the violin with me,” Mr. B says, unfolding and refolding his arms. “Would you be interested in hearing about it? Do you think he’s ﬁgured out that you might not

be a receptive audience?” Mrs. V adds. “Now, come on, think about this: John gets to play soccer, baseball and the violin,” Mrs. Jones says. “He gets to beneﬁt from all of your expertise and he’s passionate about all these activities. You’re all giving him experiences he’ll never forget and he’s fortunate to have these opportunities. That’s a good thing, right?” “Yes, I suppose,” Ms. S huffs. “But if he really wants to be great at anything, he needs to commit to it year round.” “I could say the same thing about baseball,” Mr. B says. The elevator suddenly starts to move again. “Yes, but he has committed to all of your activities throughout the year,” Mrs. Jones sighs. “I know, because I’m driving him and his sisters everywhere. Please understand that he does the best he can to pick and choose during overlapping events. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to shop for a present to celebrate his 10th birthday.”

Three cheers for three celebrations

his is a week of celebrations, and it gives me great pleasure to share them with you, our readers. First is the delightful news that Times Beacon Record newspapers won 12 awards for outstanding work over the past year from the New York Press Association this past weekend. The convention was in Albany, and we loved hearing our names called out before a group of more than 300 attendees from weeklies and dailies, paid papers and free, representing communities Between throughout New you and me York state. The BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF prizes are listed elsewhere in the paper, and I am particularly pleased that they span the two primary responsibilities we carry:

good editorial coverage and attractive advertising. Those are our two masters, and we need to serve both well in order to survive. Speaking of surviving, a major part of the convention and its workshops was concerned with just that. As most of you know, newspapers — and the media across the board — are engaged in a gigantic struggle. Small businesses, long the backbone of community newspapers like ours, are falling by the wayside. Consumers are buying from Amazon and Google. It’s so easy to toddle over to a computer in one’s pajamas and order up Aunt Tillie’s birthday present, have it wrapped and delivered in no time at all, and perhaps even save some money in the transaction. Only small stores with highly specialized product for sale can compete. Or else they offer some sort of fun experience in their shops, making a personal visit necessary. And it’s not only small stores that are disappearing. Stores like Lord & Taylor — “a fortress on Fifth Avenue,” according to The New York Times — are also gone, directly impacting publications like that esteemed paper. But that is only one existential threat to media.

The other is the drumbeat of fake news. The internet and social media have been signiﬁcantly discredited as news sources. Cable television hasn’t done much better in the public’s regard. Print, which has always been considered the most reliable source of fact-based news, mainly because it takes longer to reach the readers and is vetted by editors and proofers, can be dismissed with a wave of the hand and the accusation, “Fake news!” On the other hand, polls show that print is still the most trusted source. And that is particularly true for hometown newspapers, where reporters and editors live among those they write about and have to answer to them in the supermarket and at school concerts. Which brings me to my next cause for celebration. Monday, April 8, marked the 43rd anniversary of the founding of The Village Times, which began the Times Beacon Record expansion. We were there in 1976, we are here in 2019, and I believe a good measure of success is simply survival. We are still just as committed to the high ideals of a free press — carrying those ideals and passion to our website and any

other of our other platforms and products — as we were that day of wild exhilaration when our first issue was mailed to our residents. We will remain so in the future with the support of the communities we serve. There is one other happy occasion this week. My oldest grandchild, Benji, is celebrating his birthday. When Benji was born, 24 years ago, I became a grandmother. This is, as we know, a club one cannot join on one’s own. One needs a grandchild to be admitted to this lovely existence. And in addition to the joy of watching him grow up into an honorable and talented young man, I have the exceptional pleasure of working with him as he goes about his chosen career of making quality films. It was he who directed and helped write our historical movie, “One Life to Give,” and now its sequel, “Traitor.” It is he who will be the first of our family’s next generation to graduate from college next month. I am writing this column on the eve of your birthday, Benji. Happy Birthday, Dear Grandson! And I salute your parents for letting you follow your heart.
