Village of Port Jefferson

Unity Party sweeps Port Jefferson village elections

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Two separate restaurants and bars in Port Jeff told two different stories the night of June 18, election night in the village. In Tommy’s Place, where the Residents First Party candidates learned of results, the air buzzed with cool conversation throughout the room, offering condolences and thinking about next moves. In Old Fields Restaurant, with the Unity Party candidates, the room exploded with noise once the results came through. Mayor Margot Garant stood up on a chair, her brow sheened in sweat from the packed bar area and addressed the crowd. “I have chosen unity and community for the last 12 years, and I’m so proud that everyone who lives here, who comes and plays in our parks, who visits our restaurants, who comes and visits for a day is always welcome and always will be welcome in this village,” she said to cheers of the gathered crowd. “I am going to tell you right now, every store that’s vacant, let’s get it rented tomorrow.” Mayoral challenger John Jay LaValle was considerate once the results came through, saying they ran their case on the issues. “This was going to be a race of a referendum on Donald Trump or a referendum on the uptown and downtown of Port Jeff and unfortunately that was their game; we were focused on uptown and downtown,” he said. He said he wishes the best for Garant, adding he hopes she focuses on uptown revitalization and starts working with business owners to get businesses back into downtown.

“Stan Loucks and Kathianne Snaden are real class acts, they ran a nice race and I really gained a good deal of respect for them,” he said. “At the end of the day we’re all residents and we want to see Port Jefferson succeed and thrive.” Incumbent trustee Loucks said the vote was a mandate to move forward with current plans. “The village has spoken, I think the village is happy with the administration, and they came out today to support them,” he said. “They know we are on the right track, and I think in two to three years we will have proven it to them.” Newcomer candidate Snaden was close to tears as she spoke to the crowd in Old Fields, saying she looks at Loucks as a father figure and Garant as a “wonder woman.” “Thank you to everyone who believed in me and supported me” she said. “I plan to do what I said all along, and that is to be the voice of the families in the village.” Trustee candidate Tracey Stapleton said she wishes the best for those elected, and that hopefully the village can come together after what was a divisive time for a few months.

“I hope everyone can be a little together now,” she said. “Just work to get Port Jeff on a good path.” Garant has been mayor of Port Jeff for close to a decade, and in that time has been head of the village through numerous hurdles, from Upper Port being declared with blight to the settlement with the Town of Brookhaven and the Long Island Power Authority over the Port Jefferson Power Station. LaValle was councilperson and supervisor of the Town of Brookhaven from 1996 to 2005. Afterward he became Suffolk County Republican Party chairperson, advocating for Republican causes for over a decade before stepping down at the beginning of this year. The Port Jefferson Village Center bustled

with activity June 18 as thousands braved the rain, streamed through the doors and huddled over election ballots. This year’s mayoral race has been contentious, as camps of supporters for Garant and LaValle butted heads over a number of issues, including the blight in Upper Port, empty storefronts downtown and the tax assessment settlement between the Town of Brookhaven and the Long Island Power Authority over its Port Jefferson Power Station. Garant said she was looking forward to another two years as village head. “I’m elated I get to work two more years for the village,” she said. “Just want to thank the people who trusted me, I wish my opponents well, and we’re going to carry on.”

Comsewogue’s cherished superintendent looks back on decades in district Joe Rella reflects on his career, his fight over state tests and how music fits into all of it Joe Rella, the soon-to-be retired superintendent of the Comsewogue Central School District once, nearly 30 years ago, found himself without a job. He was in business administration for close to 15 years, saying he had been “on top of the world,” before his company, the last private electric supplier in New York, closed. After he lost his job he did everything he could, from a paper route in the early morning to playing a local church organ, just to add a little extra money into the pot. His late wife, Jackie, went part-time in college and started working at Mercy Hospital. That’s when he saw it, an ad for a part-time job. “I couldn’t even say the name,” he said in a sit-down interview less than a month before his final high school graduation ceremony June 26. “Com-sew-ogue,” he said it phonetically. He lived in Farmingdale at the time, but he

grew up in Flatbush Brooklyn, where they used to call this area of Long Island “East Jesus,” because “only God lived out here”, there were so few people. The job was part-time music teacher, where he would be accompanist to a middle school music teacher for a salary of $28,000. Over time, this part-time instructor would become a full-time music teacher, the high school principal, and eventually work his way up to superintendent of the entire district. Jennifer Quinn, the current assistant superintendent and person tapped to become the next head of school starting in September, said in her 13 years of experience with the district, this climb from music teacher to superintendent was rare. She had never seen it or heard of its like since. Rella said the jump from music teacher to a district leader wasn’t so much of a huge leap, especially considering his more-than-decadelong experience in business administration, yet JOE RELLA Continued on A10

Town

Strong’s Neck couple installs low-nitrogen septic system and spreads the word BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM When it came to their cesspool being replaced, one Three Village couple based their choice on their concern for local waterways. Tom and Carolyn O’Dwyer decided to install a low-nitrogen septic system on their Strong’s Neck property this spring after learning about the treatment process. Unlike a cesspool where bacteria and nitrogen can seep out, and into local water sources, Tom O’Dwyer said in their new system water percolates through a septic system, and the advanced process removes more nitrogen than a cesspool. Excessive nitrogen can affect the oxygen level in water where it is below the necessary levels to support marine life. “It’s good for the environment, and it’s good technology,” he said. “I do this stuff every day, so I figured I would lead by example.” O’Dwyer, an environmental engineer, recently attended classes offered by the county to learn about the systems and the grants Suffolk has to offer to those who choose to install them. As of July 1, Suffolk County residents who voluntarily decide to replace their cesspools will need to replace them with a system consisting of a septic tank and leaching pool at a minimum. Contractors will need to register the system with the Department of Health Services. While residents can choose a conventional septic system, another option is an advanced device that removes more nitrogen. County grants of up to $20,000 are available for residents who qualify, where the county has been offering the grants for the last two years. There is also an additional state grant of up to $10,000, which can mean a total of up to $30,000. O’Dwyer said he and his wife bought their house four years ago, and while the cesspool hadn’t given them too many problems, after hearing about the low-nitrogen units, he thought it was the best way to go, especially with living 500 feet from the water, a part of their home they love.

“Our family enjoys swimming, boating, fishing and clamming in the local waterways, so clean water is very important to us,” he said. Involved with larger projects like past work on the Tappan Zee Bridge, he began hearing about low-nitrogen installation projects out East and decided to start learning about the systems and soon began designing them. O’Dwyer said so far most of the work he has seen has been on the East End of Long Island, and he’s trying to get the word out to his friends about the grants and is currently working on three different homes on the North Shore where the homeowners are tired of their cesspool problems. O’Dwyer said he found the process to apply for a grant from the county easy. He filled out an application and submitted a deed and tax forms. He said residents can then pick an engineer to design the system and pick a contractor off the list of county-approved contractors. Suffolk then directly pays the contractor. The engineer said a site can be difficult at times due to certain ground conditions, and homeowners may have to pay more than the average of nearly $20,000. Field testing may be required to see if the ground is clay or sand and how well the soil will drain. As for engineers, the price averages around $2,500. Peter Scully, deputy county executive for administration, said Suffolk County sanitary code requires that the low-nitrogen systems treat down to at least 19 milligrams per liter of total nitrogen, and it’s the most stringent requirement in the northeast. He said while the total nitrogen from cesspool discharge is said to be around 65 milligrams per liter, “the health department staff routinely see samples with concentrations of total nitrogen far in excess of 65 mg/l and in excess of 100 mg/l.” He added that conventional septic systems discharge 61 mg of nitrogen per liter, and the low-nitrogen systems create a 70 percent reduction when compared to cesspools. George Hoffman, co-founder of the Setauket Harbor Task Force, calls those who upgrade to low-nitrogen septic systems “harbor heroes”

because, he said, they care enough about water quality to do the right thing. “It’s good to hear that homeowners in our area are installing low-nitrogen septic systems and are having a positive experience and setting an example for their neighbors,” he said. “This is especially important on Strong’s Neck where the transit time for groundwater to Setauket Harbor and Conscience Bay is less than two years.” Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), a proponent of the bill, said the code was updated to match what was passed in 1972 for new residential construction where conventional septic systems with a leeching pool needed to be installed. “They knew way back — almost 50 years ago — they knew the cesspool itself was not enough,” she said. “It’s essentially a hole in the ground.” She said studies of subwatersheds in the county, where more than 70 percent of structures are not hooked up to sewer systems, have shown quite a bit of nitrogen from residential waste. She said while the low-nitrogen septic systems are not yet mandated like the conventional septic systems, it’s possible as early as next year that they could be for new home construction. Hahn said the commitment of the county executive, legislators and county staff members has included working with the wastewater industry to find ways homeowners can switch

over to the new system, how to install and to know exactly what the systems do. “It’s been a tremendous accomplishment to get where we’re at,” she said. She said many residents might save money with the low-nitrogen systems if faced with replacing a cesspool or at least break even instead of choosing a conventional septic system. She did say there is a small electric charge based on the system annually and a little more maintenance that residents should be aware of when choosing the system. As for the grants, it must be the applicant’s primary residence occupied year-round. Most residents who have applied have qualified, Hahn said. Last week O’Dwyer sampled his new system, and he said the effluent looked clear with no odor. The field samples also showed reduced nitrogen levels. The environmental engineer said he and his wife are happy they installed the system, and now through his business, he plans to help others do the same. “My whole career I was searching for something,” he said. “I was passionate about a lot of things, but this intertwines my passion and my hobbies with my education and engineering background, so it’s a nice match.” Interested residents can call Suffolk County Department of Health Services, 631-852-5811, for more information.

Village of Port Jefferson

Meet the five young Port Jeff residents helping people park BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Four young men and one young woman can be seen by the meters in Port Jefferson with polo shirts emblazoned with Port Jefferson Parking. Their job is to answer the question that’s on the lips of so many visitors and residents alike: “Where do I park?” The first parking ambassador was introduced to the village last year, according to Kevin Wood, the village parking and mobility administrator. “They bring that human touch to the operation of paying for a space,” Wood said. “Beyond that, they’re all Port Jefferson residents, so they know where everything is.” All but one of the parking ambassadors are seniors at the Port Jefferson High School. Connor Kaminska, one of the village’s first parking ambassadors, finished his first year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is back for the summer. Beyond fielding questions from confused visitors, Kaminska also uses his technical skills to fix the meter stalls he comes across “I usually start off a shift with checking if they’re working,” he said. “If not then I usually

fix them, take out the motherboards and catch boxes, just get them working … It’s nice being outside, helping people.” The other four parking ambassadors include Port Jefferson High School seniors David Rotunno, Gavin Barrett, Reid Biondo and Amanda Brosnan. The young people work four to five days a week on four- to six-hour shifts, depending on how busy the village is at the time. They are paid $12 an hour, of which the money comes from the managed meter fund. During events like the Mini Maker Faire June 8, most of the

ambassadors were out fielding questions about the meters. Wood said on a typical night, two ambassadors will be out for around four hours from 4 to 8 p.m. One is usually located on the west side of Main Street while the other focuses on the eastern end. The parking administrator said the idea came from fielding many questions from visitors and residents while working on village meters. “I found that 90 percent of questions are: how do I do this, what are the hours, does the

machine give change, where is this restaurant, what time does this close, what time can I park here until,” he said. “The word ambassador is correct, Port Jeff ambassador.” Brosnan saw an ad for the job on Facebook, and said she thought to herself, “Oh, I can walk around the village, help people and get paid for it.” She added it’s especially helpful for when the village gets busy, and there’s hardly any spot to find within the entirety of Port Jeff. She usually suggests people find spots near the CVS or the Village Center in the back lot. “Port Jeff is a tourist town, and people don’t know how to use it, even if there’s signs on the meters,” she said. “Sometimes the machine glitches, or just somebody isn’t sure what to do, so we’re there to help them with it.” Biondo, a fellow high school senior, is also doing his first season as a parking ambassador. He finds he’s often acting as a facilitator for the parking meters, helping people understand how they can pay for their spot, and where some machines don’t accept cash and none give change. He also tries to tell people about the mobile app MobileNOW! “People do enjoy it, because it’s just one less hurdle for them to come and enjoy the village,” AMBASSADORS Continued on A13

JOE RELLA

Continued from A4 he likened the practicality of music to running a school, helping one interact with people, and taking mistakes in stride. “Because one thing you learn, there is no such thing as a mistake, it’s a springboard to your next part of the piece,” he said. Quinn described herself as following in Rella’s footsteps. When the retiring super moved from high school principal to assistant superintendent, she became principal. When Rella moved into the big chair, he tapped her to be one of his assistant superintendents. “It’s not a big shift, because all the programs we’ve done over these years, she’s responsible for,” Rella said. Quinn has been encouraged to lead discussions and programs, with Rella there to offer advice. “The fact is he always puts other people before his own ego,” she said. “Because in most places it’s close of business one day and then the next person starts. He’s purposely stepped back and given me the opportunity to start to do things and he’s here to guide me.” They both described several necessary components for a good district leader. One is to communicate back to residents, and not wait days

State

to respond to emails or phone calls. Another is to “be present,” to have your face and name be known not only by teachers but by students. “They need to know who you are — kids do, parents do, everybody does” he said. “Pope Francis had a good expression, ‘The shepherds have to smell like the sheep.’” To say the school district has been inspired by Superintendent Joe Rella would be an understatement. Unlike many other districts where one could be hard-pressed to find people who know the name of their head of schools, the name of Rella often brings an immediate impression. Rella has become a rallying cry for supporting student-first initiatives and programs based on a general idea of “kindness.” Just one example is Joe’s Day of Service, designed by special needs teacher Andrew Harris. Beyond Comsewogue, Rella became a name on the lips of New York State officials and even beyond, all due to standardized testing initiatives put forward on both the federal and state levels. In 2013, the superintendent was at the forefront of protests against Common Core State Standards (implemented late in 2012), writing a letter to New York State officials asking them to address concerns or remove him from office. The letter went viral, and later that year Rella was at the head of a rally held at Comsewogue High School decrying Common Core. He said

it became apparent immediately after the first standards were released to school districts that there would be no way to test the exams and offer criticism to the state’s program plans, adding letters sent to all New York superintendents suggested the state expected only a third of students would pass this first round of testing. “We couldn’t accept what was happening to our children,” he said. “If a teacher comes in and says, ‘I’m only expecting a third of my class to pass this year,’ I would say, ‘Why don’t you throw your keys on the desk.’” Though it’s been several years, the state’s testing standards still put Rella on a rant, though now he sees the district moving beyond it. Comsewogue implemented a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum for groups of interested ninthand 10th-graders. Last year the district relished statistics that said those who were involved in PBL had better overall Regents test scores than their contemporaries, though he said the state was not interested in any kind of replacement for standardized testing with PBL. Instead the district has looked to the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools, from which they were granted accreditation in 2017. The superintendent continued that, since the huge outcry has boiled down into a low simmer, parents have been making the choice for their own children whether they would take the tests.

“They haven’t budged,” he said. Rella was diagnosed with stage 4 bile duct cancer in October 2017, though he has told TBR News Media previously a “mango-sized” tumor found on his liver hasn’t grown or spread, and his health played no role in the decision to retire. He said he and his late wife Jackie, who died following a bout with breast cancer in 2016, had long discussed 2018-19 as being his last year, as it would be his 25th in the district and ninth as superintendent. Now, he’s living with his son and his grandchildren, whose little shoes will soon be running around the Comsewogue school district. He’s looking forward to spending time with his grandchildren while working on his piano and gardening skills. But while he will still be close to the district, Quinn said the legacy he left will be attempted to be replicated in the years to come. “You will never be punished for not being perfect, you will be helped, you will be coached,” she said. Rella again likened his job to music, and the drive to improve that is always at the forefront of practice, because what is school if not practice for life? “You’re learning a piece of music — brandnew — you don’t know it, you’re not going to play it perfect right away, but what you do know is with careful practice, you’re going to get better,” he said.

New York State ‘green lights’ licenses for immigrants BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After a contentious back and forth between state Democrats and Republicans, the green light bill, a measure that would allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver’s license in New York State, passed the New York State Senate June 17 and was signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). The vote makes New York the 13th state in the nation to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. In the past, undocumented immigrants in New York were allowed to have driver’s licenses if they passed the required tests and proved their residency. In 2001, former governor George Pataki reversed the measure via executive order. Proponents of the bill say that the bill would improve public safety and the economy. “Today is a historic day for New York’s hard working immigrant community,” said Steven Choi, the executive director at the New York Immigration Coalition. “We are glad to see that Governor Cuomo did the right thing by signing the Green Light NY bill into law.” In the lead up to the vote there was some hesitation of support from some Democrats, which critics attributed to being wary of backlash to the bill and its impact on the 2020 election year. Jay Jacobs, The Nassau County Democrat-

ic chairman, warned the six senators who represent Long Island about the potential political backlash of supporting the bill, according to an article in Gothamist. Jacobs told Gothamist that he personally supports the legislation but believes the bill is too polarizing to pursue in the current legislative session. The legislation moved forward without the support of the six Long Island Democratic senators, who all voted no, as well as three other Republican senators. “I am disappointed that the state lawmakers in Albany voted to approve this terrible piece of legislation,” John Kennedy, Suffolk County comptroller and county executive candidate, said in a statement. “Driving in New York State is a privilege, not a guaranteed right, and we should not be extending privileges to those who do not follow the law. I strongly urge the Governor to do the right thing and veto this legislation.” Other Republicans in the state Legislature shared opposition to the green light bill. “This legislation is an outrage to law-abiding New Yorkers, as well as to new Americans that have taken the appropriate steps to become citizens legally,” New York State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) said in a letter. “The overwhelming majority of New Yorkers oppose issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. And yet, that is exactly what Senate

Democrats did.” The Long Island Democratic Senate Delegation said in a statement that they value the important contributions made by immigrants to the local economy and communities. “Following countless meetings with stake-

holders, residents, and advocates on the implications of this bill, our vote is based on the continued existence of serious concerns raised by stakeholders and law enforcement,” the statement read. “We will continue to stand together in the best interest of Long Islanders.” Some lawmakers shared concerns that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency could possibly obtain driver’s information and use it for deporting individuals. Cuomo also raised similar concerns before the vote, stating that he would veto the bill if the federal government would be able to access driver’s information that could be used for deportation. He then asked the state attorney general to review the bill and would sign the bill if it didn’t give federal authorities access to DMV databases. State Attorney General Letitia James (D) wrote a statement the night of vote. “The legislation is well crafted and contains ample protections for those who apply for driver’s licenses,” James said in a statement. “If this bill is enacted and challenged in court, we will vigorously defend it.” The bill would require undocumented immigrants to take a driver’s license exam and be able to buy car insurance. The measure would go into effect in 180 days and undocumented immigrants could get licenses starting in December.

Village of Port Jefferson

New pastor named at First United Methodist Church

A new pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Port Jefferson will be taking over the reins of the venerable church starting July 1. The New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church appointed Pastor Steve Chu as pastor, replacing Pastor Sandra J. Moore who has served the local church for three years. Pastor Chu currently serves as the Youth and English Ministry Pastor at Plainview UMC and prior to this appointment held positions in Herndon and Arlington, Virginia. He holds a Master of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary and an undergraduate degree from Hunter College of the City University of New York. The First United Methodist Church on Main Street, Port Jefferson has a long history in the community. The current building was erect-

ed in 1893 by Loper Brothers while the original chapel had been established on Thompson Street. The parsonage next door was purchased in 1930 and is still used today as a pastoral home. In 1961, the former New York Telephone Company brick building was purchased to hold Sunday school classes and now a day care program. The church is committed to Thanksgiving donations for needy families, sharing with patients at nursing homes, community concerts, a summer chicken barbecue and Christmas fair/cookie walk during the Charles Dickens Festival weekend. On July 14, a welcome barbecue is being planned to follow the church service. People are asked to come and meet the new pastor.

Longtime elementary art teacher leaves lasting legacy the elementary school, has worked with Anderson for the past two years and says he sets a great example. “He’s has been an excellent mentor,” she said. “He’s taught me to approach elementary art as a fine-arts program. He sets the bar high and it shows in the kids’ artwork and shows what they are capable of doing.” McCarthy said she really lucked out having someone like Rich who has immense amount of experience teaching. “He laid down a solid foundation for me,” she said. Anderson admits it will be hard for him to retire, but he is looking forward to spending more

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM “They give me so much life — so much energy,” Richard Anderson, an Edna Louise Spear Elementary School art teacher said of his students. “It is so much fun.” Anderson, who has been a fixture at the elementary school for the past 34 years, will retire at the end of the school year. He will be leaving behind a lasting impact on his current and former students over the years. “It has gone by so quickly, but I’ve had a blast teaching something I love,” he said, reflecting on his career. “I’ve been a part of the school community for so long and that’s coming to an end. I’ve been getting all these letters from the kids and it’s really nice but it’s sad at the same time. But it tells me that I have done a good job.” Anderson’s love for art began when he was young. He fondly remembers a trip to The Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan when he was 7 years old and laying eyes on the work of famed artist Chuck Close. “My art teacher took me down to The Museum of Modern Art, and they had huge airbrush paintings of Chuck Close and some of his friends,” he said. “At 7 I was like, ‘I want to be an artist just like him.’” This began a lifelong passion for the Port Jeff art teacher. From there, he would go on to State University College at Buffalo to get his art degree. During that time, he started experimenting with chainsaw wood carvings. He mentioned one of his inspirations was Wendell Castle, a renowned art furniture artist.

“I had experience with a chainsaw working in the woods, cutting down trees with my father,” he said. Anderson would compete in wood carving competitions in upstate New York and found success, winning some events. He said the wood carving scene has really grown over the years and has gotten more refined from carving bears and eagles into more complex designs, such as his rendition of a mermaid carved in wood. The elementary art teacher said he enjoys wood carving because it is challenging and pushes his personal abilities further. Anderson hopes to continue to do wood carvings for the village’s harvest festival as well as coming back to the school to do wood carvings for the students. Meghan McCarthy, a fellow art teacher at

AMBASSADORS Continued from A7

Biondo said. Each of them has a consistent question they hear most often. Kaminska said he often hears about how one can add time to a spot and where certain restaurants are to give them “a lay of the land.” Brosnan often gets asked where meters are, if meters apply directly to spots, or if they can be used for every spot in the village. Answer: the meters can interact with every parking spot. It’s not necessarily an easy job. The ambassadors are always on their feet. With smart watches and Fitbits, Biondo said he has tracked more than 30,000 steps in a day,

time with family, getting back into his artistic furniture business and enjoying motorcycling and hunting. “I’ve been really blessed to have had a great career and leave a good impact,” he said. “I’ve been fortunate to work with some former students of mine and be able to teach some of my former students’ children.” The Wading River resident said the students motivate him to push himself and in turn he pushes them. “It works together, these kids have so much ability and we need to support them,” he said. “I have been given his great gift and it has meant so much to me.” while the lone girl on the ambassador team said she had once tracked more than six miles of walking distance in a shift. All but Kaminska will be graduating by the end of June. Brosnan will be going to Salve Regina University in Rhode Island, Rotunno will be going to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Barrett will be going to Binghamton University in upstate New York and Biondo will be attending the University of Virginia. Wood said their work has been invaluable so far this season. “There’s no secret that there’s parking anxiety in Port Jeff,” Wood said. “These wonderful human beings, just by being present, calm that anxiety.” More about parking can be found at www.portjeff.com/parking.

PJ varsity lacrosse team surpasses expectations

The Earl L. Vandermeulen High School 2019 boys varsity lacrosse team had one of its best year’s in the program’s history, with the team finishing with a 10-7 overall record. The team was selected by the Suffolk County Lacrosse Coaches Association for the Crosse

Award, which is presented to the team that defies preseason expectations by surpassing their preseason league ranking. Port Jefferson was the only team in League II to be recognized with such an honor. Along with the team Crosse Award, individual players

have also been lauded for their outstanding play throughout the season, including Aidan Kaminska, who was recognized as an All-County player, while Daniel Shaughnessy, Jonathan Moshe, Colton VanOverberghe and Daniel Koban were each selected as All-League recipients.

New York state law mandates that all contracts for prearranged funeral agreements executed by applicants for or recipients of supplemental social security income or medical assistance be irrevocable.

Port Jefferson Middle School sixth-graders engaged in conversations about pollution, green roofs and stormwater management when they were visited by a representative of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County. The students in teacher Janelle Bellotti’s science classes worked with Mark Cappellino, a marine youth educator from the county’s stormwater management program and planted sedum on the school’s green roof. They learned that

sedum is a succulent that can live in dry places with hot or cold conditions. Cappellino also taught them that green roofs help filter water and make buildings more energy efficient. “They all felt a great sense of environmental responsibility in replenishing our plants and helping to clean up the garden,” Bellotti said, adding her gratitude to Cappellino, Suffolk County and Cornell University for providing the plants. “It really was an amazing experience.”

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

A black cloud, searching When enough is enough for a silver lining

One has to understand that journalists are human beings, and just as much as it pains people to learn about the death of a young woman, it can be even more painful to write about it. Melissa Marchese, 18, died June 14 after being injured in a terrible car crash in Shoreham. She passed only two weeks before she was set to graduate high school. Since then, the local community has rallied around the family, donating well over $60,000 for the Marchese family in a GoFundMe campaign in less than a week after the crash. Likely the community will continue to support the family even after graduation. It is truly amazing to watch a community come out full force to support a grieving family but, even still, too many Shoreham and Wading River residents recognize the black cloud hanging over their hamlets. Nobody should have to read about a young person dying, but in Shoreham the situation is familiar, just all too familiar. The community went through this grief in 2014, after Tom Cutinella died from receiving a head injury due to an illegal tackle on the SWR football field. In 2018, the community was again devastated after learning about the death of Andrew McMorris, who was killed by a drunk driver while hiking with his Boy Scout troop. In both circumstances, the community rallied behind the families. The SWR football field and a new concession stand was renamed in honor of Tom, while a statue with brickwork done by an Eagle Scout was erected in his honor. In the case of Andrew, the Boy Scout troop has planted a new garden at the community center, where the scouts meet, while the community hung red ribbons on telephone poles, fence posts and mailboxes in his honor from Riverhead to Miller Place. These ribbons still flutter in the wind more than a half-year since he was killed. Shoreham residents have talked to one TBR News Media editor about the black cloud hanging over the small North Shore community of Shoreham-Wading River. One resident succinctly described the circuitous nature of Shoreham’s grief and support in the community: “We’ve had too many opportunities to show what a great community we are.” This tragedy reaches out beyond the community’s boundaries. It is in the nature of editorials like this one where we would ask people to take care, to always wait several seconds when the light turns green before making a move, to wear a seatbelt and to instill the importance of road safety in your kids, but those might be mere platitudes in the face of tragedy. All these tragedies were preventable. If only the driver of the car that hit Melissa’s vehicle was not “distracted,” as he later told police. If only the man who went out drinking that one day in October 2018 hadn’t gotten in his car to drive. If only Tom was not tackled in such a way to collide with his helmet. But whatever happens, Shoreham needs to never lose its sense of community. Let it never become complacent and numb in the face of tragedy. Whenever we have talked to the families who’ve lost loved ones, each time they are comforted by how much the community has come out to support. There may have been too many opportunities to show the humanity of local Long Island residents, but let us never stagger or fall in making sure we all remain compassionate for all who suffer.

When will Congress be held accountable for inaction on every issue but the resistance movement? When will Congress realize that oversight is not overkill? When will policy take precedence over politics? When will Americans realize that the only “constitutional crisis” is within Congress regarding their inaction on the border, health care, infrastructure and trying to undo the 2016 election results? When will anti-Semitism be called out regardless of the source? When will the media print facts

instead of gossip from unknown sources? When will the media stop colluding with the Democrats and be held accountable for their fabrications? When will the media take responsibility for creating a dangerous environment within this country with their repetitive false narratives that are brainwashing and misleading the American public? When will Congress be concerned of how our own government influenced the 2016 election, i.e., FBI, CIA, Democratic National Committee paid-for dossier? When will the media stop using

‘The fireman’s dilemma’ One basic premise of some right-tolife supporters is that all human life is precious and equal. That explains why they regard a pregnancy caused by rape or incest as worthy as any other pregnancy. Even if the logic seems off, the consistency is praiseworthy. That they seem comfortable in making an exception to the life that’s extinguished during warfare — even questionable warfare — is less praiseworthy. But I’d have them consider what I’ve titled “The fireman’s dilemma.” The fictitious Village of Centerville

has a large building, 100 Main St. The building has two wings which radiate off a central lobby. One wing is a fertility clinic housing fertilized eggs. Life. The zygotes will soon be implanted into women. The other wing is a day care center with 3-year-olds. Life. The toddlers are playing with crayons and eating Grahams crackers. The fire department alarm sounds the alert. There’s a blazing fire at 100 Main. The firefighters run to their trucks, which race to the building. They put on

divisive tactics, i.e., race, gender, wealth, religion deliberately to agitate the environment? As related to the Mueller Report, when will the Democrats realize that doing the same thing over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, as per Albert Einstein? Finally, when will the country get an apology for the past two years of wasted time, money, energy and lies? When is enough ... enough? Carol Florio Lisa Pius East Setauket

the inhalators and drag their hoses into the lobby. It’s an inferno. The fire can’t be contained. There’s no time to spare. They must save as many lives in the few seconds available before the building implodes upon itself. You are the firefighter. Do you run to the wing with the zygotes? Do you run to the wing with the 3-year-olds? Is all “life” equal? Bruce Stasiuk Setauket

A response to ‘Help me to understand’ Dear “Help me to Understand” (letter to the editor, June 13), The essence of motherhood — and fatherhood — is unselfish sacrifice, and the driving force of it is love, just as a soldier endangers his own life for the love of those behind him — not hatred for those before him. Science affirms what the Bible teaches: A child temporarily residing inside his or her mother is another

human being with its own unique DNA, chromosomes, fingerprints, heartbeat and so on (every cell of which is either male or female from conception to death). One of God’s Ten Commandments is “You shall not murder.” And Christ, who gave His life for us all, assures us that “as you do to the least of these my brethren, you do it to Me.” Psalm 139 asserts “You (God) knit me together in my mother’s

womb; I praise Thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Thy works.” May God bless you as you are a partaker and partner in the creative, nurturing, self-sacrificing work and love of God. The Rev. Ronald Stelzer Our Savior Church and School Centereach

Opinion

A pinch of parsley and a side of separation

B

reaking up is spectacularly awkward, highly charged and, in retrospect, filled with humorous potential. Two people get together for a picnic, where a public scene might be difficult for the recipient. “Want some tabouli? What is tabouli anyway?” “No thanks, and I don’t know what it is. You ordered it, not me.” “Good point, so, I was thinking. It’s probably a good time for us to separate.” D. None “Um, what, of the above excuse me?” BY DANIEL DUNAIEF The lip quivers, the breathing becomes short and

erratic and the eyebrows, shoulders and neck all droop at the same time. “No, yeah, I mean, you’re great and this has been a total blast but, you know, it’s just, I don’t know, it’s not working for me.” “A total blast? You’d call this a total blast? Besides, nothing is perfect. I know my family can be difficult and I know I wake up with bad breath and I do, on occasion, correct your speech, but we can work around that. Don’t you want to try to make it work?” “I’m thinking that it’s probably time to do other things. I’m thinking of moving to Vancouver and you hate the cold.” “Vancouver? Really? Wait, have you been seeing other people? You and my sister get along a little too well. As soon as you start dating her, she won’t be interested. I know I share genes with her, but she’s a horrible person who has ruined my life over and over again.” “No, really, this has nothing to do with your sister. I wouldn’t do that to you or myself, especially

after what you just said.” “Oh, so, now there’s something wrong with my sister? At least she’s not dumping me.” “No, no, I think we have a great friendship and I’d like to stay in touch.” “You’d like to stay in touch? After all we’ve been through, you’re offering me your friendship? You’re not even that good of a friend. You rarely listen and you forget all the important dates in the year and you always want to go to the same restaurants, even though we have so many other choices.” “Right, exactly, I’m so boring, so maybe you’re ready to be done with me?” “Why do we have to end it now? It’s not like I was expecting to marry you. I can’t imagine having a younger version of you in the house. You can somehow shoot baskets from all over a gym floor that land in a hoop, but you have no ability to throw the dirty T-shirt you wore to play basketball into a much larger hamper that’s also closer to the ground, even though you roll the shirt into a ball.” “I agree. You could do so much better.”

“I’m sure there are plenty of better people out there, but we had some fun, right? We were supposed to go to that dinner next Saturday with the Smiths. They’re your friends, so maybe we should see what works between now and then?” “It’s OK, I already canceled that.” “What? That horrible person Jessica Smith knew you were going to break up with me before I did? How could you do this to me?” “Sorry, I didn’t tell them anything. I just said we couldn’t make it.” “We couldn’t make it because you were going to break up with me today over tabouli. You’re an idiot.” “Right, well, maybe we shouldn’t stay in touch?” “Oh, so now I’m not good enough to be your friend?” “I’m going to be a boring idiot elsewhere.” “Wait, you’re leaving me?” “Yes, and I’ve googled ‘tabouli.’ It’s a Lebanese salad with vegetables, wheat and parsley, just so you know.”

A hypnotic page-turner on Broadway not to be missed

O

ne of the best plays I have seen on Broadway is the drama, “The Ferryman.” Written by Jez Butterworth, directed by Sean Mendes and playing at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre only until July 7, it is so deserving of winning four Tony Awards, including best play, and should not be missed. The story is about a large Irish family in rural County Armagh in Northern Ireland and conjures up Tennessee Williams and Between “August: Osage you and me County” for its faBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF milial interactions of love, lust, betrayal, anger, contradictions, secrets, repression and murder. But it is so much more. It is historic, being set in 1981 at the height of

The Troubles involving the British, loyalist Irish Protestants who want to remain in the United Kingdom, and nationalist Irish Catholics, including the Irish Republican Army, who want a united Ireland. It is a story about storytelling as three generations live under one roof of a large farmhouse and slowly reveal much about their own histories. It is about human kindness, as personified by the appealing leading character, farmer Quinn Carney, husband and father of seven children ranging in age from 16 years to nine months. He houses and employs Tom Kettle, an Englishman, whose mind is not all there, as his handyman; and Caitlin, wife of Carney’s long-missing brother and her son, Oisin, as well as aged aunts and an uncle. Yet Carney is also a former active member of the IRA, with its brutality and bloodshed, which he has ultimately rejected. It has homey fairy tales and classic epics in the mix, hopeless love, and lots of barroom talk and drinking, happy celebrating and passionate confrontations. Amid all that activity, with a cast of well-defined characters, it has genuine, laugh-out-loud humor. The play is also remarkable for its length.

It runs three and a quarter hours with only one 15-minute intermission after Act 1 and a three-minute dimming of the house lights following Act 2. Yet not for a minute, for me and my companions, did it keep from being riveting as it pulsated with suspense interspersed with hearthside family goodness that is set against the background report of Irish Republican hunger strikers dying one by one in a Belfast prison. There are even live animals in the form of an affectionate goose, a feral rabbit and a real, sweet baby. Artfully they all come together to deliver a memorable play and to live in the minds of the viewers well past the end of the performance. The prologue, set against a crumbling, graffiti-splayed urban wall, sets the sinister mood with an encounter between craven Father Horrigan and Muldoon, a major figure in the IRA. And every subsequent scene in which the priest appears seethes with tension. He delivers the news that Seamus, Caitlin’s missing husband, has been found face down, preserved by the acid in a bog, hands tied behind him and a bullet in the back of his head. The mystery of his disappearance deepens because he was not involved

in The Troubles. There is an Aunt Pat and Uncle Patrick, as well as an often mentally absent Aunt Maggie, whose roles are largely to unveil past history even as their passions define them as three dimensional characters within the family and their country. Their narratives give their lives shape and substance. With the discovery of the body, the past meets the future as Muldoon attempts to contain the truth of the missing husband’s murder from emerging. In the process, other truths seep out in the appropriately furnished great room of the farmhouse that serves as the only site where all subsequent action takes place. In the beginning, the viewer is puzzled as to who the family members are and their relationships to each other, which create an air of mystery. As the plot develops, the answers powerfully emerge, carrying us along, absorbed and engaged. And while the plot is masterfully orchestrated, I don’t want to give away the most important details in the hope that you will still get tickets and join me in your admiration for a remarkable play.
