Protesters in Port Jefferson Station object to a potential cell tower along Canal Road. Photo by Kyle Barr

Residents decry potential cell tower at Port Jefferson Station firehouse BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The residents who live surrounding the Terryville Fire Department Station 3 on Canal Road can already picture it in their heads — a metal tower rising to the sky, an eyesore for all to see. It’s a project that Port Jefferson Station resident and protest organizer Teresa Mantione said was going to tank their property values. “They have the reason it’s their property, but we live all around here,” Mantione said. “It’s all about money. They are going to get a lot of money for this project.” Multiple residents whose homes surround the

Canal Road fire station said they thought a cell tower would be an eyesore, and they feared their property values would be dramatically reduced if the tower is constructed. James Rant, a commissioner for Terryville Fire District, said the cell tower has so far been tabled, and the district is not even sure if they will make any more headway on the project. Otherwise, he said the district was looking to help all residents in the district, as a lease agreement for a cell tower could mean hundreds of thousands of dollars for the district over several years.

District voters conclusively pass their 2019-20 school budgets 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.

Port Jefferson School District

With the final voters leaving the polling stations at the stroke of 9 p.m., the Port Jefferson School District residents passed the $43,936,166 2019-20 budget with 559 for and 160 against. In addition to the vote, the second proposition to use $3.6 million in funds from the capital reserve fund for high school roof repairs passed 591 to 125. The new budget is a 0.11 percent increase from last year’s budget, and 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 have said they had a lower tax cap this year due to a reduction in capital projects funded by general appropriations. “I have two words, thank you,” said Superintendent Paul Casciano. This will be the last budget overseen by the Casciano, as his position will be filled by incoming superintendent Jessica Schmettan in October. “The board and administration worked hard to make a budget the public would be receptive to, and apparently we were.” 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 the budget

Much less controversial than last year’s election, Port Jefferson residents decided to keep two current members of the board and vote in one newcomer. Incumbent trustee Ellen Boehm, a seven-year member of the board, was again asked to take her seat securing 521 of the votes. “I’m pleased with the positive confidence of the residents in Port Jefferson,” she said. Ryan Biedenkapp, who had been appointed to the board to replace resigned board member Adam DeWitt, was elected to the board to serve out the rest of DeWitt’s term, ending June 30, 2020. His seat will be up for election come that time. Biedenkapp was sworn in for the first time the night of the election. “I’m honored the town saw fit to bring me back,” Biedenkapp said. “I look forward to serving the kids, all of the kids.” Newcomer Randi DeWitt, a teacher at Mount Sinai Elementary School, will be taking the post as board member thanks to a vote of 473. “I thank the community for their belief in me, and I look forward to working with the rest of the board members,” she said. Mia Farina was the last candidate standing, securing only 291 votes. She said she plans to run again for the board next year as well. “I just wanted to thank everyone who supported and voted for me even though I did not make the board this time,” Farina said in a Facebook post. “I have made so many new friends and learned so much through this campaign. So many people have helped and supported me with inspiring words.”

Comsewogue Union Free School District

Comsewogue school district voters resoundingly passed its 2019-20 budget with a vote of 660 to 152. The district’s second proposition to create a capital reserve fund also passed with high margins, 656 to 150.

The new budget of $93,974,755 is an increase of $2,027,025 from last year and includes a $57,279,755, a 2.2 percent increase from last year and below this year’s tax levy cap of 3 percent. “The budget passed by 81 percent, the highest margin it has ever been at Comsewogue,” Superintendent Joe Rella said. “I just want to thank the community from the bottom of my heart for supporting us.” One increase came in the form of pupil personnel services from $3,322,061 to $3,678,447. PPL aids students with special needs. While the district experienced a total enrollment decline of 40 students, the number of students with special needs has increased, according to the assistant superintendent, and each of those young people is more expensive overall than a typical student. In addition, the district is hiring one additional social worker and a new social worker teacher’s assistant.

Other major increases include a 27 percent and $696,209 increase in debt services, but this is offset slightly by a $570,000 or 33 percent decrease in interfund transfers. Meanwhile, the district is going ahead with the first phase of its bond project; bids were scheduled to go out to companies in April. District voters approved the $32 million bond last year, which the district said would go up in several phases. The first phase, costing about $5.8 million, will complete work on the parking lots at the Boyle Road Elementary School and the Terryville Elementary School, along with the creation of security vestibules in all school buildings and adding new locks to doors throughout the high school building.

District re-elects incumbents

Being uncontested, current trustees Robert DeStefano and Francisca Alabau-Blatter maintained their seats.

St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson. File photo

St. Charles receives ‘A’ grade in safety St. Charles Hospital was awarded an “A” grade from The Leapfrog Group’s spring 2019 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade. The designation recognizes St. Charles’ efforts in protecting patients from harm and providing safer health care. The Leapfrog Group, a national organization that looks to improve health care quality and safety for consumers and purchasers, devised the letter-based rating system to rank hospitals nationwide. “Every day, our staff demonstrates a remarkable commitment to providing the highest quality care to our patients,” said Jim O’Connor, hospital president. “Patients know that when they come to us, they will be treated with compassion, dignity and respect,

while in a hospital with an outstanding record of safety and success.” St. Charles was one of only three hospitals on Long Island to receive an “A” rating, and of the 146 hospitals surveyed in New York state, only 10 received the grade. St. Charles has earned the “A” grade six times since the safety score’s debut in 2012. “To be recognized nationally as an ‘A’ hospital is an accomplishment the whole community should take pride in,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “Hospitals that earn an ‘A’ grade are making it a priority to protect patients from preventable medical harm and error.”

Police rescue three stranded men oﬀ North Shore coast

Suffolk police rescued three men who became stranded in a 6-foot inflatable raft in the Long Island Sound May 19. Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau officers were notified by the U.S. Coast Guard at approximately 4:30 p.m. of an inflatable raft with three male occupants that were unable to make it back to shore. The three were fishing in the Long Island Sound, near Crane Neck Road in

Old Field, when they were pulled approximately 2 miles off shore. Their boat did not have a motor and they were unable to paddle back due to winds blowing between 15 and 20 miles per hour. Marine Bureau ofﬁcers Robert Daniels and Peter Bogachunas responded in Marine Delta and located the men within 15 minutes of the initial call. All three occupants, Martin Villatoro, 23, Erick Villatoro, 26, and Ronald Benitez, 17, all of Bay Shore, were transported in Marine Delta, along with their raft, to Sunken Meadow State Park. All three were wearing life vests and they were not injured.

Port Jefferson Village Residents First Party candidates up in arms over removed signage BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It’s a sign the Port Jeff mayoral and trustee race is heating up as signs, specifically political signs, lead to friction between candidates. John Jay LaValle, who is running for mayor alongside trustee candidates Thomas Meehan and Tracy Stapleton, said he and Meehan received calls the morning of May 14 saying a black Ford SUV was traveling around the village taking political signs from people’s lawns. Later, while at Village Hall, LaValle said he saw the SUV, a black Ford Escape, in the parking lot and learned it belonged to acting Chief of Code Enforcement Fred Leute. “We find out he was driving his personal car, in civilian clothes, not his uniform, driving around on government time taking down his boss’s opponents signs,” LaValle said. Brian Egan, the village retained attorney, said village code disallows residents to place signs on the right-of-ways of a public street or walkway. It also allows residents to put up political signs on their public property for 30 out of a 60-day period and can be placed anywhere on said private property. Village Clerk Bob Juliano confirmed that signs may be placed anywhere on private property, and that some of the signs should not have been taken. In an interview, Leute said that two of the signs were on public property, but another few were on private land. He admitted to making the mistake in taking those signs, and code

enforcement would no longer be enforcing political signage, instead referring them to the public works department. Village Mayor Margot Garant said her campaign and LaValle’s received an email from Juliano May 6 about the need to keep signs from public property. She added code enforcement removed signs from both candidates and put notes on each one explaining why they were taken. “Both of our signs were taken,” the mayor said. “I had a conversation with John [LaValle], and I said you got guys volunteering, I got guys volunteering. We both got guys who are overzealous — it’s going to happen … it’s about keeping the village from looking like a war zone right now.” Meehan confirmed hearing about a number of signs taken down near where he lives, and had received calls that the car was a black Ford Escape. People calling him had reported a man picking up their signs and putting them into the back of the car. “We’re pretty upset, we’re trying to play fair, and it really kind of bothered me,” Meehan said. “For him to take the signs … it takes a lot of brass. Him, in his private car, and I don’t know if he was working at the time and who directed him to do this.” Though people involved did not agree on the number of signs, among them were a few Unity Party signs — the party featuring Garant, trustee Stan Loucks and trustee candidate Tracey Elizabeth — and one or two additional school board candidate signs.

The signs were brought to Juliano, who later returned them to the residents. Meehan said he was told the removed signs “were on right-of-ways, and two were too close to the road.” “The courts have said political signage has wider protection than commercial signage,” Egan said. LaValle took particular exception with Leute using his personal vehicle to remove the signs, instead of a code enforcement vehicle. Garant, meanwhile, said there was nothing necessarily wrong with how the acting chief did it. The acting chief said he uses his personal car on Tuesdays as he spends most of that particular day doing paperwork.

CELL TOWER

Continued from A3 “This wouldn’t be paid for by the district, but the cell providers,” Rant added. “This was explored as a means of bringing revenue into the district.” Andy Ram, who lives directly across the street from the firehouse, said he would be looking at it every day as he walks onto his lawn. “There was no consultation,” Ram said. “We pay taxes here, and this is the first time I learned about this.” Protesters also claimed the fire district has not been upfront in informing the community about their decision. The fire district had included a legal notice in the March 16, 2017, edition of the Port Times Record on proposals for a cell tower on Canal Road and Jayne Boulevard, though recent news has been quiet on any new cell towers. However, even with the legal notice, residents said they had little news by the fire

department online or in other print forms. Sal Pitti, president of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association, joined in the protest saying he felt the fire department did not do enough to reach out to the community. He added the department had neither presented nor talked to civic leaders about the project. “They could have easily gone through so

many other routes to let members know this was going on,” Pitti said. Bill Freda, a 16-year volunteer and former chief in the fire department, has a backyard that looks at the surrounding trees to the rear of the fire station property. Later in the year, when the leaves fall from the trees, he fears he will have a front-row view of the new cell tower.

“Fred is the chief — he’s the chief all the time, 24/7,” the mayor said. The mayoral candidate said he has reason to believe Leute acted under the current mayor’s orders to target his signs directly. Meehan, Edna Louise Spear Elementary School principal, said he and his party had been efficient in removing signs from where they were not supposed to be, such as in rightof-ways. He added he has heard recent reports of people, not necessarily code enforcement, removing their signs from people’s lawns. “I wasn’t looking for this kind of a fight, and I’m not saying I’m going to fight dirty,” Meehan said. “Just makes me even more sure I want to win this thing.”

He said volunteers in the department had little to no knowledge of the new cell tower, and he fears the tower will directly impact his and neighboring property values. “I’m taking a huge hit on this — this wipes out my investment,” he said. “I wish they could put this somewhere else or rent space on another tower.” Rant said he was skeptical that a new cell tower would hurt local property values. Though he lives next to the Lawrence Aviation superfund site, he said he has seen very little impact on the price of his home. Protesters point to studies such as a 2014 survey by Washington, D.C.-based National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy which said 94 percent of those respondents said cell towers would impact interest in a nearby property. In addition to the protest, more than 150 people have signed an online Change.org petition saying they don’t want a cell tower at the fire station. “They did not follow proper procedure and laws,” Port Jefferson Station resident Jim Hall wrote on the site. “Do not want this in my neighborhood. It’s a money grab.”

Protesters condemn abortion laws in southern states

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Holding coat hangers and signs high above their heads, nearly 20 protesters stood at the corner of Nesconset Highway and Route 112 shouting “Keep your hands off our bodies,” and “We won’t go back.” The locals, organized by the North Shore Peace group, came out in protest decrying several states’ moves to severely restrict abortion, including Alabama, Georgia, Ohio and Missouri. In Alabama’s case, abortion will be restricted to only in cases that the woman’s health is in danger. It also restricts abortion for people who are victims of rape, and doctors who perform abortions could face up to 99 years in prison. The laws have largely been seen as

attempts to move abortion to the plate of the U.S. Supreme Court in the hopes that landmark case Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortions, would be overturned. Protesters held coat hangers high above their heads to symbolize the instrument used when abortions were illegal to perform “backroom” unsanitary abortions, often out of desperation. “I’m speechless, I just don’t know what to say anymore,” said Myrna Gordon, a protest organizer. One protester, Janet Sklar, had a charm necklace that she plucked out of her shirt and laid over her sign. One charm, a coat hanger, had been on that necklace for close to 40 years. “We were marching in the ʼ70s for this, and look how far we haven’t come,” she said.

County

Suffolk introduces new substance abuse awareness training for coaches BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Legislators are asking high school athletic coaches to help combat substance abuse in Suffolk County and are looking to give them the training needed to do so. On May 21, at a press conference held at Ward Melville High School in East Setauket, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) announced a partnership with the nonprofit Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. Bellone said a new, county-funded program will provide athletic coaches and trainers in middle and high schools with a 75-minute training course designed to combat substance abuse among student-athletes. Ward Melville coaches have already been through the awareness training that now will be offered to all county secondary schools. “This program will help save lives,” Bellone said. “I have no doubt about that.” Krista Bertschi, who lost her son Anthony Mazzella to drug addiction, attended the press conference, holding a photo of her son, to show support for the training. Mazzella passed away Jan. 22, 2017, from an overdose of heroin and fentanyl. Bertschi said her son was a boxer who was clean for two years when he dislocated his shoulder before Thanksgiving of 2016. While he refused pain medication at first, as the pain lingered, he decided to take them. The program, developed with LICADD and Stony Brook University, will look to provide

coaches with the knowledge of the warning signs of drug and alcohol abuse in studentathletes and how to engage and intervene with team members suspected of abusing addictive substances. Bellone said a coach’s knowledge of an injury may be especially critical in that they may be able to link subtle changes in a player’s behavior to the treatment they are receiving as many times opioids are prescribed for pain. Hahn had piloted the program with several local school districts including Comsewogue while working alongside LICADD and SBU to develop the training. The county will be providing $100,000 to LICADD to aid in developing the program. Hahn, a graduate of Ward Melville High School, said she was pleased to launch the program at her alma mater. As a former studentathlete and the mother of a recent Ward Melville cheerleader and current Three Village athlete, Hahn said she recognizes how influential a coach’s role can be in a student’s life both on and off the field. She added that the training course was customized to address the various scenarios coaches may encounter, from an injured teenager being prescribed opioids to a marijuana bag falling out of a backpack to team members talking about a big party coming up. “It’s a unique place in a player’s life that is provided by the coach with an unparalleled opportunity to understand the circumstances the athlete is facing,” she said. Hahn said social workers are still needed when a problem is identified but coaches can be the first line of defense.

ABUSED by CLERGY in NEW YORK?

“They can play an important role in the fight against student drug abuse, and through this training, we have invited them to be among the traditional stakeholders working to save lives,” she said. Steve Chassman, executive director of LICADD, said the seeds of drug disorders usually start in high school, and he thanked the legislators and coaches for their help in solving what he called a public health crisis. “We are encouraging the coaches to create a culture where people can work together and come forward not just from a disciplinary standpoint but from a public health standpoint,” he said. Hahn said local school districts like Comsewogue helped pilot the new program. The new coaching training initiative spearheaded by Legislator Hahn is such a proactive way of dealing with such an important topic,” said Matteo DeVincenzo, the athletics director at Comsewogue said. “I am very proud that Comsewogue played a small part in the development of this course.” Adam Sherrard, director of health, physical education and athletics, Port Jefferson School District, said in an email that training will begin

June 11 with the Port Jefferson coaching staff, which he said is already proactive when it comes to providing support for injured students. “I believe that there are many different things that can lead to student depression and potential drug use,” Sherrard said. “An injury that is causing a student pain or injury that is preventing him or her from participating with their teammates in a sport that they love can cause many emotions that may be difficult for the student-athletes to handle, potentially causing them to turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions.” Bertschi said she believes the program will foster essential communication between coaches and parents if an issue is identified. She will continue to support awareness and prevention programs such as the coach training course. “In memory of my beautiful son and all of the other angels gone too soon to this horrific disease so that no other parent has to walk in the ugly shoes that I walk in every day,” she added. Districts interested in participating in the program can reach out to LICADD at 631-9791700 to schedule a training session. Additional reporting by Kyle Barr

Purple pounds through Port Jeff Village

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

A wave of purple flooded through Port Jeff May 18 as the Royal Educational Foundation hosted their sixth annual Family Fun Run, now named in honor of Jill Nees-Russell, an active village resident and foundation member who died last year. Close to 200 people came out for the yearly event, raising funds for the foundation’s efforts to promote and aid the local school district. As the event went under way, foundation treasurer Laura Zimmerman spoke on the verge of tears about Nees-Russell, a proponent of both the foundation and the school district. She was nominated three times for the Power of One award, but was ineligible for the first time, too sick to receive it the second. Instead of giving her the award posthumously, the organization instead decided to rename the entire event in her honor. “We wanted to recognize Jill’s contribution to our village, school and community with a lasting tribute to her amazing spirit,” she said.

In addition to their Power of One award, the foundation awarded $750 to Fred Russell, Jill’s husband, who plans to use the money to create a scholarship in her name. This year’s Power of One award went to Tony Butera, a teacher in the Port Jefferson School District who the foundation said inspires students and others in and out of the classroom. “To even be mentioned in the same space as Jill is an honor,” he said. Port Jeff Chamber wellness fair showcases the bounty of healthy living After the run, hundreds congregated at the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School gym for the 10th annual Health and Wellness Festival, hosted by the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce. Visitors could learn more about eating healthy, dieting, exercising and medicine from multiple vendors such as Mather and Stony Brook University hospitals. Participants even had the opportunity for face painting and to participate in goat yoga, doing poses such as “downward kid,” and “stretching goat.”

Editorial

Remember our freedom

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution specifically protects the practice of religion in this country. While there have been few exceptions to this rule, mostly in cases where a religion may lead to harm, it has constantly and clearly protected the rights of people to practice in the way they see fit. When a recent story by TBR News Media broke on social media, based on several readers’ comments, it looked like many people were confused when it came to freedom of religion. The article reported on a Stony Brook University graduate wearing a turban, who was refused admission into a Port Jefferson restaurant because the establishment has a noheadgear policy on Friday and Saturday nights. The manager was allegedly sticking to the restaurant’s policy, while either being unaware or ignoring the unconstitutionality of refusing a person service based on religious attire. The customer in question practices Sikhism, where males wear turbans as articles of faith in public. While the restaurant owner said he would change the rule, the event and comments on social media showcase a particular ignorance of the most foundational law in the U.S. Unfortunately, many readers have said they thought the manager had the right to make the call and refuse the graduate service. They are wrong. Our Constitution protects our expression of religion, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlaws discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin — or religion. Whether a Sikh is wearing a turban, or a Jewish man is wearing a yarmulke, they cannot be asked to remove their head covering in order to get a drink or something to eat, just like service can’t be denied to a nun in her habit or a Muslim woman wearing a hijab. Freedom of religion in this country even protects employees of that restaurant and other businesses when it comes to practicing their religions. State and federal laws, unless causing undue hardship on the operation of business, require employers to make accommodations, within reason, for workers whether they need a break to pray or take a day off to observe their Sabbath or celebrate a religious holiday. The employer may ask them to make up the hours, but they can’t deny an employee time off for religious reasons unless it will be detrimental to a business, for example, due to a small staff. So, whether a Christian can’t work Sundays, or a Muslim needs to take a break to pray, an employer cannot dissuade them from doing so. Employers must also allow dress and grooming practices that employees follow for religious reasons, including not only head coverings but certain hairstyles or facial hair such as the Sikh beard. So, as Americans, whether it’s as a customer or an employee, we are free to practice our religions. Sikhs have been active in the U.S. Armed Forces, where they have been given special exception to wear turbans, while remaining as dedicated as any other service member. As we celebrate Memorial Day, May 27, remembering those who died to protect our rights, let us also not forget the principles that are being protected.

Notice to our readers:

The offices of TBR News Media will be closed to the public on Monday, May 27, to honor Memorial Day. The offices will reopen on Tuesday, May 28, and be open on Thursday, May 30, the traditional Memorial Day.

Letters to the editor

Port Jeff needs to control deer At the May Port Jefferson Village meeting, disengenuous information was presented by nonresident protesters regarding our deer overpopulation. Their comments contradicted information provided at the Village Center in April by experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, the USDA itself, and the NYSDEC Bureau of Wildlife. These experts informed us that whitetailed deer have a prolific breeding pattern that doubles their population every two to three years, that they are permanently destroying the saplings and flowers that create new trees and canopy, and are devastating the habitat for insects, birds and wildlife. They also confirmed the deer’s role as primary hosts for the tick that transmits Lyme disease to humans. Reduction of deer to an ecologically balanced density can prevent irreversible loss of flora and fauna, while decreasing the incidence of Lyme disease and deer-related motor vehicle accidents.

A publication in the July 2014 Journal of Medical Entomology studied “the relationship between deer density, tick abundance and human cases of Lyme disease in a residential community.” It found that hunting deer to a density of 13 deer per square mile resulted in a 76 percent reduction in tick abundance and an 80 percent reduction in resident-reported cases of Lyme disease. The current deer density in our community is estimated at 200 deer per square mile, or 15 times that of the Connecticut study. At a reduced density, deer will continue to be highly valued for their beauty and grace without being scrutinized for their negative attributes. Like living in a parallel universe, the protesters attempted to convince the trustees that the prolific breeding pattern of white-tailed deer has not led to an overabundance, that they are not destroying our ecosystem and that mice are really the deer ticks primary hosts.

Many of us have family members, neighbors and friends who no longer live normal lives due to Lyme disease. Though opinions differ about deer reduction methods, the real issue is the imminent destruction of our ecosystem and the increasing incidence of Lyme disease. Ten years ago, contraceptive measures might have been effective in preventing overpopulation. Now that “the horse has left the barn,” our leaders are encouraged to muster the necessary stewardship to decrease the existing deer density before the ecological imbalance becomes irreversible and more members of our community contract Lyme disease unnecessarily. More information about deer overabundance is available at: www.dec. ny.gov/animals/104911.html. Al Cossari Port Jefferson

Honor service this Memorial Day Every year, we pause to honor the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending this great nation and our cherished way of life. Their selfless acts of courage protect the rights and freedoms we enjoy as Americans, and their memories will forever be in our hearts and minds.

In recognition of Memorial Day, it is my hope that everyone in our community can devote some time to pay tribute to these fallen heroes and to let their families know that their sacrifice is remembered. To make it more convenient for residents in our area to attend an event, my website (flanagan.nysenate.gov) has a

special Memorial Day section with a listing of all parades and observations in our area. Thank you for giving recognition to our brave service men and women, and may God bless the United States of America. John Flanagan State Senator, 2nd Senate District East Northport

Garant has vision for the future Our village election is around the corner and we need to vote for a proven and prudent leader. Margot Garant is that leader. She has sound judgment and is committed and focused. She brings people together and bridges divisions, as seen by the wide range of support she receives from our community. Margot is a unifier and has a broad and inclusive agenda. It is significant, and in every residents interest, that Margot not only brings us a vision of continued progress, but understands the nuts and bolts of the infrastructure needed to make things happen. She has built relationships with all levels of government to continue to bring strong and positive economic growth to Port Jefferson.

While both candidates might have experience in government, Margot has a record of success in Port Jefferson. It is very important to vote for a mayor with common sense and the ability to attack all issues from all sides and without self-serving interests. She continues to move our village forward with empowerment, involvement and engaging all residents in our community. An election can’t get any more local than a mayoral race. At this level, the social issues that divide us nationally aren’t present, and we’re faced with the practical issues of keeping our community safe, our infrastructure up to date, and our village a desirable place to live and work.

As a longtime resident and a longtime friend, I am confident that Port Jefferson will continue to benefit and thrive from Margot’s leadership as we move forward to meet any challenges that face us. We can continue to enjoy our wonderful village that Port Jefferson has been and will always be. It is clear to me that the only candidate capable of leading our village is Margot Garant. Please do not miss this most important opportunity to vote for who will be our next mayor. Lisa Perry Campaign manager for Mayor Garant Port Jefferson

Questions for the posse of presidential candidates

s I write, we are 530 days away from the 2020 election. It’s nice that so many people want to lead this nation. Notwithstanding William Weld, the former Massachusetts governor who is a GOP challenger, it seems clear that the Republican nominee will be President Donald Trump, while the Democratic nominee could come from any of at least 23 candidates — D. None and counting. of the above I’d like to ask these candidates a BY DANIEL DUNAIEF few questions to get the ball rolling. 1. How will you try to unify the nation? Clearly, we are a divided country. We can’t agree

on anything from abortion to gay marriage to the job Trump is currently doing. We have become the Divided States of America. That doesn’t sit well with those of us who have enjoyed the beneﬁts of a country pulling together through so many crises and conﬂicts, and who have appreciated the opportunity to travel from state to state, feeling like a part of something that spreads from sea to shining sea — and to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. What will you do in the interest of unity? 2. Is there any way to bring the world closer together? If an extraterrestrial force landed today and threatened society, we would set aside our geographic and historic squabbles, and work together to understand this new species and protect ourselves. Why would it take such a threat to unify humans? Is there any way to spread peace, while allowing for differences? If you believe peace is possible, in what turbulent area would you start and how would you bring any two sides together?

3. Can we establish any political rules? It seems that the old days of agreeing to disagree or civil discourse are gone. Were those measured words and polite disagreements a matter of political correctness and do some candidates beneﬁt from attacking each other? Would all of the candidates agree to a level of respect for each other, for the process and for the American populace? 4. What kind of role model will you be as president? Can you lay out any rules you would follow as president, in terms of what you would do and what you wouldn’t, as our leader? What should the penalty be for you if you don’t follow your own rules? 5. How will you measure your own success? It’s so easy to declare yourself a winner and to tell the country and the world what a great success you are. So many of you will run under the banner of bringing change or steering the nation toward a better or, some might say, great future. Don’t just tell us you’re wonderful, give us an idea of how to recognize it. What metrics

will you use to know that you’re successful? Are the polls more important, or is the economy, the stock market or anything else a good barometer of your success? 6. What will you offer children that they don’t get now? Parents often care more about their children than they do about themselves. What will you do to make schools, food choices, activities or other options better for children than they are today? 7. How will you protect our elections? It’s clear that other nations feel like they can influence our elections. What can you do to ensure that the process proceeds as it should? 8. What’s wonderful or great about your spouse or partner? What do you admire about this person and what is one of your favorite memories with him or her? 9. Do the ends justify the means? Is it as important to ensure that the journey obeys certain rules and that the country follows a specific compass, or is it acceptable to get to the final destination by any means necessary?

oday, May 23, is the birthday of Margaret Fuller. She would be 209 years old. I don’t know if you have ever heard of her. I hadn’t really, maybe vaguely. She was actually born Sarah Margaret Fuller, named after both her grandmothers, until she dropped the ﬁrst name at age 9. She was in other ways a precocious child, too, the oldest of Massachusetts lawyer and Congressman Timothy Fuller’s children, and he taught her to read and write before age 4. Fuller, a Harvard grad, was such a stern teacher that he forbade Between her reading sentiyou and me mental novels and BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF instead gave her what was then, at the beginning of the 19th century, a vigorous

classical education — indeed a rarity for a woman at that time. Margaret Fuller grew up expecting to be exceptional, and she was: as a journalist, editor, literary critic and women’s rights advocate. She strenuously protested slavery, homelessness and other injustices. She advocated for education for women. She also was reputed to be the best read person in all of New England. She was the only woman allowed to use the Harvard library for her research. Her breakthrough book was “Woman in the Nineteenth Century,” considered the ﬁrst major feminist work in the United States, and she was friends and the intellectual equal of such luminaries as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne — said to have modeled Hester Prynne after her, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and admired by Edgar Allan Poe. She died in 1850 at age 40 in a shipwreck off Fire Island, with her Italian count husband — if they ever married — and 2-year-old son, within sight of the shoreline. Her ship, the Elizabeth, ran aground on a sandbar as it was being captained by the ﬁrst mate. The event

was in all the metropolitan newspapers four days after the tragedy, once word could get out after the gale passed that had come sweeping up the East Coast, destroying the ship. Fuller had been sent by her publisher, Horace Greeley of the New-York Daily Tribune, to Europe from which she filed dispatches for four years, first from England and then from the 1848 revolutionary wars raging in Italy. In effect, she was this nation’s first female wartime correspondent. Fuller’s life was honored with a book, “Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli,” a flattering portrait edited jointly by Ralph Waldo Emerson, James Freeman Clarke and William Henry Channing, all of whom rushed to get it out in print before, they feared, her reputation would die. In fact, it was the bestselling book in the United States until Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Margaret Fuller was a remarkable woman, and I am glad to meet her. How did we happen to meet? We were introduced by Angela Reich and the Three Village Historical Society. Reich

wrote a book called “Shipwreck of Hopes,” about the ship Elizabeth, and although this is ﬁction, the author spent a great deal of time getting the historic context right. She traveled to Harvard, poured over original letters and manuscripts, and otherwise discovered that there were thousands of shipwrecks off the Fire Island coast. Yes, thousands! This just happened to be one of them, and this one carried a famous passenger. It is a wonderful thing that we can listen to a writer discuss his or, in this instance, her book and all that went into the writing, dressed in our daytime suburban-casual clothes, enjoying other community members similarly gathered and even a little homemade carrot cake on a given Monday night. In the process we learned some local history and met two worthy women: Margaret Fuller and Angela Reich. We live in a terriﬁc place where such delights — theater, music, documentaries, political debates and book discussions — frequently happen. All we have to do is get off the sofa after dinner and go to them. It’s often hard but so worth the effort.
