Another motorist drives into Port Jeff Marina via town boat ramp

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com History is repeating itself, at the boat ramp in Port Jefferson Marina located at the north end of Barnum Avenue in Port Jefferson Village.

A man is being treated for serious injuries at Stony Brook University Hospital after driving into Port Jefferson Harbor via the ramp at about 5:30 p.m. April 6, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.

The car was found submerged underwater and at least one good Samaritan helped remove the man from the car. Members from the Suffolk County Marine Bureau dive team went in the water to search for possible additional victims, and the police said the investigation is continuing.

Several similar incidents have occurred since an episode in December 2005 when then-60-year-old Setauket resident Richard

Levin drove into the water on the same ramp and onlookers had to pull his unconscious body from the fully submerged car. Levin died days later as a result of the incident.

“People are dying here and it’s a simple fix,” Christopher Kelsch, one of the people who witnessed Levin’s death 12 years ago and tried to help, said after seeing news of the April 6 incident.

Kelsch was given a Carnegie Medal by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, for his attempts to save Levin’s life. Kelsch had to be rescued by firefighters as a result of his efforts, and suffered from hypothermia in the aftermath. He was also called to give testimony about the incident when Levin’s family sued Brookhaven Town for negligence, a suit that was dismissed by the New York State Supreme Court.

The Carnegie Medal recipient said during the interview he wanted to reach out in part to make the 2017 victim and family members aware he would be glad to help them if they sought him out.

“Somebody needs to shine a serious spotlight because Dr. Levin died at that location,” he said.

A Brookhaven Town spokesperson said in an emailed statement there are clear signs and traffic measures in place to warn residents of the ramp’s location.

“The Port Jefferson boat ramp has existed at its current location for generations,” the spokesperson said. “A number of measures are in place including a multitude of ‘Do Not Enter’ signs, road arrows and other traffic control measures to clearly indicate

Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant is taking the issue seriously, and said she asked the village’s code enforcement chief to compile data for her regarding the number of times similar incidents have happened at that location, and she plans to present the data to Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine to reiterate calls for preventative action to be taken by the town. Garant said in a phone interview she had heard the driver was in stable condition as of Saturday, but she was told he had taken a turn for the worse since.

“It’s only a matter of time before this

happens again,” Garant said. She added at the present time she plans to call on the town to do something to solve the problem and no plans of possible village actions are currently being discussed. Garant said Port Jefferson Village and Brookhaven Town cofunded a waterfront revitalization plan years ago, which included a proposal to move the town ramp elsewhere.

“This is town-owned property — they have to step up and resolve this once and for all,” Garant said. She added that additional signage beyond two “do not enter” signs or some sort of barricade would be “minimal” steps the town could take.

Port Jeff and Comsewogue library budgets overwhelmingly passed by community

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com The community sent a resounding message of approval for two different library budgets April 4 — a vast majority of voting residents are happy with the services provided by their local libraries and are willing to pay for more.

The Port Jefferson Free Library’s $4.2 million budget passed with a 143 to 10 margin. The 2017-18 financial plan is about 1.2 percent more than last year’s version and will cost homeowners on average about 49 cents more monthly in property taxes compared to last year.

“We are very flattered and pleased at the support we get,” Library Director Tom Donlon said in an email. “This year we juggled a few budget lines around, and tried to focus on where our community wanted us to go. We increased the book budget as well as the programming budget in order to deliver the materials and services that Port Jeff has come to expect.”

More than 1,000 children participated in summer reading programs offered by the library in 2016, and 270,000 items were checked out during the 2016-17 fiscal year, according to a budget newsletter sent out to the community. Library administration was also proud of a teen garden established in 2016, which allowed children and teens to grow vegetables for local soup kitchens. A new, easy-to-use website was

launched by the library last year, and the board also plans to update the community on some possible improvements to the facilities coming in the near future.

Additional books and programs, along with an increase in staff salaries, benefits and retirement payments represent the largest drivers of the budget increase. The gap in those increases is closed in large part by a near $200,000 savings compared to last year in transfers to the capital fund and debt services fund. The library also will offer fewer print and nonprint newspapers and periodicals this year.

The Comsewogue Public Library’s budget was passed with 102 yes to 14 no votes.

The total operating budget for 2017-18 will be about $5.6 million, up 2.7 percent from last year. Like its Port Jeff counterpart, Comsewogue Public Library’s budget increases can be attributed for the most part to increases in staff salaries and benefits.

Additional money was also factored into the current budget for some furniture and equipment upgrades. The library will see a savings in the coming year in computer equipment and supplies, as well as in debt service payments.

The average homeowner in the district will be required to pay about $4 more in taxes for the 2017-18 fiscal year compared to last year.

“The 2017-18 proposed operating budget is designed to ensure that the library continues to provide a high quality service

the children’s section in the Port Jefferson Free library. program at a reasonable cost,” a letter to the community from the library said. “The public library serves everyone in the community, from babies to seniors.”

Port Jefferson Station resident and library trustee Edward Wendol was also elected to remain in the position on the board that he’s held since 1972. Wendol, who ran unopposed, has previously served as the board president and was named a Port Times Record Man of the Year in 2003.

Library administration said he “has provided guidance and oversight to the organization,” in a letter sent to residents along with an informational budget newsletter.

“I’m very happy to be on it, and I’m happy to be elected continuously,” Wendol said in a phone interview. He added his primary objective in his next term is to move along a heating and air conditioning plan for the library. “I think we’re a good asset to the community.”

Port Jeff Village seeking restitution from LIRR as part of beautification project

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Cleaning up is hard to do.

Port Jefferson Village is entrenched in a beautification project that spans large sections of the area, including several efforts in the vicinity of the Port Jefferson Long Island Rail Road station located in between Main Street and Highlands Boulevard. Two years ago, according to village resident Kathleen Riley and Village Mayor Margot Garant, the village requested that LIRR property be cleared of dead trees along the train tracks on the south side of Highlands Boulevard in the hopes of improving aesthetics in the area.

“When this beautification effort started there were a number of dead trees along the said property, and when the LIRR was requested to remove the dead trees, workmen cut down all the trees, dead and alive for a considerably large portion of the property,” Riley said in an email. “When investigated with survey records, it happens that the LIRR cut down trees on Port Jefferson

the now cleared areas surrounding the train tracks for the Port Jefferson lirr station will be fitted with new trees soon.

Village property, truly a violation that calls for compensation. Mayor Garant has yet to receive any compensation from the LIRR for the past two years. To her credit she contin-

ues to pursue beautification.”

Riley shared a letter she received in early April from Susan McGowan, the MTA’s general manager of public affairs for the LIRR as a response to several letters she sent to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and to Ed Dumas, the vice president of market development and public affairs for the LIRR, since the trees were first removed.

McGowan addressed the findings of the survey that the trees were on village property.

“In light of these findings, we will work with the village to address the concerns you raised, and the LIRR will continue to coordinate with the village as our station enhancement project for Port Jefferson Station moves forward,” McGowan said.

Aaron Donovan, MTA deputy director for external communications for the LIRR responded to requests for comment from Dumas on the matter in an emailed statement.

“We have received and reviewed all of the correspondence, and we are evaluating what we can do to improve the Highlands Boulevard area,” he said. The village and LIRR officials have met several times in recent months to discuss beautification of the station and the areas near the train tracks.

Since the removal of the trees, the village has obtained grant money to improve parking for the train station in lots on both sides of Main Street, in addition to funds garnered for business improvement projects just steps away from the train station.

“We’re seeking some sort of cooperation from the railroad,” Garant said in a phone interview. “We’ve been dealing with this and other issues for well over two years.”

Garant said the village now plans to plant six-foot tall Leyland cypress trees along the fence line on Highlands Boulevard overlooking the train tracks using unencumbered monies and will then ask the LIRR for restitution.

“I’m just going to get the job done; then I’m going to the railroad and ask for restitution — I can’t wait any longer,” she said.

Riley said she met with Caran Markson, village gardener, Garant and some other community members recently to secure plans for the project, which they hope will begin during April. Some of the other issues raised by the village regarding the look of the areas surrounding the tracks include crumbling walls bordering the tracks, rusted railings and insufficient fencing.

A message from a donor during National Donate Life Month Your turn

BY Jane Bonner Last year, I was blessed with the opportunity to save a life, and what made it even more special was that it was the life of a friend I’ve known since we were teenagers.

My story is not unique, but it’s one that I like to share with people to help increase awareness of the need for organ donors.

All one has to do in order to understand is look at the numbers: •25 million Americans have kidney disease.

•475,000 Americans are on dialysis.

•More than 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.

•There has been a 20 percent increase of

people on the kidney transplant waiting list since 2005.

•Each year 5,000 people die in the U.S. waiting on the list for a kidney transplant.

My own experience as a kidney donor and the reality of these numbers are what led me to participate in the Rogosin Institute’s Organ Donation and Access to Transplantation Roundtable event.

As a councilwoman in the Town of Brookhaven, a large municipality of 500,000 residents located in central Long Island, New York, I spend much of my time helping to improve the quality of life for people in the community. Each day, I meet with people to talk about a whole range of issues from potholes and barking dogs to land re-zoning, downtown revitalization and protecting the environment. Hardly life and death situations, but important nonetheless. So, when my husband John and I planned to meet my longtime friend, Tom D’Antonio and his wife Cheryl at the Huntington Lighthouse Festival in September 2015, I certainly was not expecting to begin a life-altering journey that continues to this day.

Knowing Tom for over 40 years, I have been very familiar with his nearly lifelong struggle to control type 1 diabetes while living day-to-day with kidney disease. Even when he’s been faced with what appeared to be insurmountable odds, his spirit, optimism and determination have been inspir-

So much so that when he told me about his search for a kidney donor, I made a commitment right then and there to “share the spare” with my friend. Gratefully, my husband John and my children provided their unwavering support for this very important, personal decision. Fast forward to April 2016 and I am recovering at New York Presbyterian-Weil Cornell Hospital, thankful that the transplant went off without a hitch. I was most happy to know that Tom was also recovering well after the surgery.

More than eight months later, Tom and I are in good health, and we’re both back to work. He with his new kidney and me with a new appreciation of the challenges that face thousands of people in need of

a healthy kidney before time runs out. By “sharing the spare,” I was able to save my friend’s life, and I thank the doctors and staff at the Rogosin Institute for being there for Tom and me. Their personal and community approach to research and care has improved the quality of life for patients and their families for more than 60 years, and now I am proud to be part of the Rogosin Institute family.

TBR takes home awards

BY ALex PeTrosKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com Times Beacon Record Newspapers’ six North Shore community papers received 12 awards in the New York Press Association’s 2016 Better Newspaper Contest this weekend.

At a NYPA conference held in Saratoga Springs, it was announced that Desirée Keegan, managing editor, sports editor, and editor of both Village Beacon Record and Times of Middle Country, won third place for sports writer of the year for her coverage of local high school and college teams. “Excellent all-around portfolio of work,” the judges wrote. “Detailed stories, smart choices for story subjects.” She finished third in 2013, and took first place in the 2015 standings.

Keegan also finished second in her division for a sports feature story on former Stony Brook University men’s basketball star Jameel Warney, who is now on the Texas Legends team as an affiliate player of the Dallas Mavericks.

“Rich quotes from a variety of sources,” the judges said of the piece.

Victoria Espinoza, editor of The Times of Huntington and Northport and the Times of Smithtown, came in second place in the best feature story category for her division.

“History and romance, a great combination for reporting,” a judge said, on her story about 16th century love letters exchanged between a couple in Huntington. A girl was forced to break up with the man, who in turn committed suicide.

Alex Petroski, editor of The Port Times Record, won third place for best feature story in his division for a story judges described as “well crafted and well paced.”

The piece involved local Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (CRocky Point), who donated a kidney to a childhood friend.

Michael Tessler, Times Beacon Record director of media productions, won first places in his division for both best online dynamic ad and innovative ad project, which was centered around Culper Spy Day. A judge lauded him for a “perfect choice of transition element and timing to music.”

Tessler also received an honorable mention in the best advertising campaign category.

Beth Heller Mason, art and production director, received an honorable mention in the best small space ad category, which judges called “fun and refreshing.”

Freelancer Bill Landon received an honorable mention in his sports feature photo of the Kings Park girls’ volleyball team celebrating the Kingsmen’s sixth straight Suffolk County championship title win.

Wendy Mercier won first place for best special section cover for TBR’s 2016 Resolutions edition of Lifestyle magazine, which judges said is “eye-catching and invites the reader to pick up the magazine.” The company also earned second place for best advertising campaign for a “farm market” series, and an honorable mention in the special sections/ niche publications category.

The VFW leaders were at Town Hall March 30 to collect donations.

In a continuing effort to help veterans in need, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) and the Brookhaven Youth Bureau have collected donations of food and coats. The items will be distributed directly to veterans and their families.

“Suffolk County is the home to more veterans than anywhere in the state and many of them are in need of assistance,” Romaine said. “Thanks to our Youth Bureau and the VFW, we are able to help our neighbors who served their country who just need some help to get by.”

LaValle also praised the bureau. “The Youth Bureau and VFW have been great partners for many years and they can always be counted on when someone needs a helping hand,” he said. “This food and coat drive is a perfect example of their selfless efforts, as well as generosity of Brookhaven residents.”

New York State Commander Dennis Sullivan thanked the town.

“I would like to thank Supervisor Romaine, Councilman Kevin LaValle and the Brookhaven Youth Bureau INTERFACE Program for helping us to provide food and coats to veterans in need in our local communities,” he said.

Royals reign in first win of season with shutout

By Bill landon Siobhan Petracca’s solid pitching and Jackie Brown’s timely hitting propelled Port Jefferson’s softball team to its first win, a 12-0 shutout of Shelter Island April 7.

Shelter Island (0-3) struggled early on, allowing unearned runs with passed balls at the plate.

After the first inning, the Royals were up 4-0.

Sophomore shortstop Taylor Catoggio’s bat spoke next as she hit the ball into the gap for a stand-up double that drove home teammate Ji Won Woo to make it a five-run game.

Letters to the editor

Repower the Port Jefferson Power Station

Photo from Michael Tessler

The TBR staff smiles during the annual People of the Year dinner.

Think we’re missing something? Tell us Last weekend the TBR News Media staff trekked up to Saratoga Springs for the New York Press Association’s spring conference. The two-day event was full of lectures from leaders and innovators in our field, and we left feeling reinvigorated as we headed back to our Setauket newsroom.

One of the lectures, called “Community 360,” focused on throwing out the playbook for covering community news and figuring out how to best cover the changing and diverse areas we live in with new technology.

The lecture was quite an eye-opener for us and made the editorial staff self-evaluate the level of coverage we’re providing to our readers.

So this is where you come in. If you think there is an area, an issue, an event or a group we’re not covering sufficiently enough — or even at all — we want you to reach out to us. We want to know about every single issue our readers think is important. Of course, there are going to be moments where you know more than we do. So share anything and everything you think we might be missing. If we already covered something, but you think a part of the story was left out, let us know. We want to provide the best service we can, because we’re in this business to inform our readers about the most important news going on in their area. You’re our eyes and ears, and our storytelling would get us nowhere if it weren’t for the information, the sources, the news and the comments you provide.

On March 22, the New York State Public Service Commission held hearings at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. in the Port Jefferson Village Hall. The purpose of the hearings was to seek public comments about National Grid’s petition to eliminate the present restrictions, which limit the energy generation at Port Jefferson Power Station. Read Alex Petroski’s article in the March 23 issue of The Port Times Record.

The present limit is 80 megawatts, and today National Grid provides 79.9 megawatts.

National Grid proposes to add 14.1 megawatts and thereby raise the total to 94 megawatts. Most people were unaware of these public hearings until Mayor Margot Garant wrote a letter in The Port Times Record on March 16 entitled “Mayor calls on residents to attend hearing on LIPA plans.”

She also alerted residents with robo-calls, which emphasized the need for a heavy citizen response. Her call for action galvanized a huge community turnout. The crowd filled every seat, caused standing room along the sides and back of the room, overflowed down the stairwell and almost to the

entrance to Village Hall.

Every speaker opposed the National Grid request. No public officials supported their exceeding megawatt limitations except Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) who said he was in favor of increasing the peaking units.

It was revealed by several speakers that the utilization of two 16-year-old peaking generators will jeopardize the repowering of the main power plant. For 10 years, Port Jefferson has advocated repowering to produce a more efficient, reliable, cleaner and cheaper source of energy from our local plant.

Many citizens may not be aware of the full impact of losing the Port Jefferson Power Station.

Consider the financial dependence of Port Jefferson on the plant.

The village counts on the revenue for about 24 percent of their total budget, the school district gets 42 percent of their revenue from the plant, and 34 percent of the library’s revenue comes from the same source.

These statistics are included in a 2015 research report from Industrial Economics Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

These dollar losses translate into an economic disaster of tsunami-like proportions.

Such tax deficits will result in business slowdown, increased unemployment, higher taxes, lower real estate values and decreased fire, library, school and village services.

Bruce Miller and his grassroots committee of volunteers have steadfastly worked to warn residents of Port Jefferson, Poquott, Belle Terre, Brookhaven, Suffolk County and Long Island about LIPA’s machinations. The two public hearings were a tribute to their perseverance. I have never witnessed such unanimous support on the issue of repowering the Port Jefferson Power Station and the rejection of National Grid’s veiled attempt to close our plant. United we stood.

In the famous words of deceased U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, “For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.” Repower, repower, repower the Port Jefferson Power Station.

Philip Griffith Port Jefferson

New apartments damaging feel of historic village In the March 23 issue of The Port Times Record’s opinion section, Raymond DiBiase, chair of the Port Jefferson Village Planning Board, responded to two previous letters about the Shipyard building project in Port Jefferson.

One letter questioned its adherence to the village building code; the other questioned its size and appearance. In his answer to the first question, Mr. DiBiase said the building does indeed meet the code. In response to the second letter, he wrote the following: “Judging a partially constructed building on visual appearance is premature. The view . . . along West Broadway will include a sloped berm, which will cover most of the concrete wall that surrounds its parking garage. In addition, significant landscaping will be planted on the berm … Based on the detailed color renderings approved for the building … [it] will be an aesthetically pleasing and complementary addition to

the view from West Broadway and the harbor.”

I could not disagree more.

No amount of landscaping can disguise this building for what it really is — an unnatural behemoth in the middle of a small historic village.

The Shipyard is a greedy structure. From the north end of Barnum Avenue, it blocks the westward view toward Shore Road. From Shore Road, the building entirely blocks the eastward view of the village. Driving from the west on Route 25A into the village, it blocks by descending degrees the view of delicate, historic roofs on the rise to St. Charles Hospital. And, of course, drivers getting off the ferry and exiting the village south on Barnum are also subjected to its looming three-story presence.

Would it not have been possible to build a complex of separate two-story buildings with some visual breathing space

in between, buildings similar in scale and design to existing others in town? This would have at least approached something “aesthetically pleasing and complementary.”

Port Jefferson is a village where George Washington kept a Revolutionary War spy ring. Much of its architecture is historically authentic. The natural beauty of its harbor and surrounding hills make it one of the loveliest spots on the North Shore of Long Island. It is no wonder that visitors come here year-round to escape the blur of boxy, vinyl-sided suburbia that now characterizes much of Long Island.

The Shipyard has done irreparable damage to the character of Port Jefferson Village. All that we residents can do now is wait for the inevitable traffic congestion in and around our town that can only make life here worse.

hen I was in college, I wrote an essay in a seminar. In such a small class, we read everyone else’s writings each week and needed to be prepared to share our observations or else face the ignominy of our teacher either excusing us from the room or glaring at us until we cracked.

One of the other writers had written this spectacular story about four people at a dinner party. She had moved the reader through the thoughts of each of the characters, until she got to the fourth person, whose social anxiety receded when he started choking. His inability to conBy Daniel Dunaief trol noises that interrupted her stories irritated his wife, who glared at

him until he read her vexed expression and retreated to the kitchen. Separated from the group, he choked to death.

The ending was so powerful that I was sure my prose was inferior.

When my turn came, I waited through the usual polite beginning, as my classmates shared what they thought worked. Great, I thought, it won’t take long before we transition to the unnerving category of “what could he have done better.”

It took some time before people starting quibbling with my choice of words. Certainly, I could maneuver through the minor discomfort of a new word here or a different turn of phrase there.

Professor Brilliance sat in his green corduroy pants, with his oversized left foot rising and falling diagonally above his right knee to his rhythm, tilting his head to the side, awaiting a worthy insight.

“Well,” he said, scanning the room slowly, “has anyone spotted clichés?”

Oh no! Clichés? Clichés! I thought I had scrubbed out the clichés. I

quickly scanned words that floated unevenly above the page, hoping to find any and expose them before anyone else did.

His foot stopped, and so did my breathing.

“No,” he nodded slowly, “I didn’t see any, either.”

This had to be only a temporary respite before the scissors started slicing.

“Now, let’s go over the introduction to this fine piece,” he said.

Was that sarcasm? Did he mean that it was fine, or was he acknowledging its shortcomings?

As we went line by line through the piece, my writing held up to the scrutiny. Some of my classmates even defended a few phrases, suggesting that they found them perfectly fine just as they were.

The professor saved his lone arrow for his final remark.

“This is a solid piece of writing,” he said, before adding, “for someone your age.”

And there it was, ladies and gentlemen. The backhanded compliment

that sent me back to the children’s table, wondering what the adults might be discussing.

Now that I’m older than Professor Brilliance was when he shared that line, I have considered whether he had a point and the answer is, yes and no.

My experiences have changed my perspective. I recognize the value of history, even if I despised memorizing dates and names for a test. I also understand the Chinese devotion to their elders, not because I’m older, but because I have an increasing appreciation for all the decisions my parents and their generation made.

At the same time, when I hear the ideas my children share, I don’t minimize them in the context of their shorter lives. Instead, I recognize the wisdom that comes from their experiences in a handheld techno world they maneuver through more deftly than I. All these years later, I guess I’d have a comeback to my professor’s observation. “Maybe you’re right,” I’d say, “or, maybe, I’m young enough to know better.”
