Richard Panico is a behind-the-scenes kind of guy. So it took some convincing when Friends of Karen wanted to honor Panico, a Miller Place resident, for his charitable nature during its third annual Long Island Gala on Friday, Dec. 4, at the Stonebridge Country Club in Smithtown. The organization’s regional director, Nancy Mariano, approached Panico earlier this year, asking to spotlight him at the event. Initially, he wasn’t thrilled with the idea. “I read this somewhere [that] if more than one person knows you did a good deed, it’s no longer a good deed,” Panico said. “So … to me it’s just not necessary to have that kind of ego.” Panico got involved with Friends of Karen three years ago when he purchased the building out of which the organization operates on Perry Street in Port Jefferson. Currently, Panico’s company Symbio, which provides clinical trial management services for pharmaceutical companies, and Friends of Karen share the building. He turned his efforts toward helping the organization, which aims to offer emotional and financial support to families of children with life-threatening illnesses, but his efforts didn’t start with Friends of Karen. In 2003, one year after Panico’s company was established, he kickstarted its

annual bike-a-thon at Heritage Park in Mount Sinai to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It held the fundraiser for seven years and raised more than $50,000. “It was good for the company,” said Susan Swamback, an employee of Symbio. “It was good for all of us to feel like a team. … He loves that.” Swamback also helped with the annual bike-a-thon, but the fundraising stopped after the company didn’t raise as much money as it had hoped, despite its efforts. Over the past few years, Panico has donated skin creams to families that frequent hospitals and helped one child and his family attend a New York Mets baseball game. Panico’s nephew Tom McGuire added that his uncle also tries to help his family and friends. During the gala, Mariano said Panico “is the kindest most generous father, husband and friend to all.” Mariano added that the organization was proud to acknowledge Panico at the event. While the gala was a means to highlight people like Panico, it also helps Friends of Karen raise awareness and money to further its mission. In the organization’s 37 years, it’s helped around 5,500 sick children and their families. Panico said the organization works hard to achieve its goal and even continued his own effort to help the organization during his honoree speech. “If you are able to donate — if you’re able to buy raffle tickets, if you’re able to [participate] in the silent auctions, that would be fantastic,” Panico said during the gala. “If you can’t … tell your friends, spread the word.”

Let your light shine down Village will add Dickens lanterns along new sidewalk By Elana Glowatz

They blazed the path and now they’re going to light the way. With a new sidewalk already paved along Highlands Boulevard, keeping pedestrians out of the road, Port Jefferson officials are now working on installing streetlights on the route. The village board of trustees on Monday approved spending $28,000 for Flushing-based Welsbach Electric Corp. to put in eight decorative streetlight poles and light fixtures along the winding sidewalk, between the entrance to the Highlands condominiums and Oakland Avenue in uptown Port Jefferson. That dollar figure is higher than an original $17,000 cost approved in August. Mayor Margot Garant explained at Monday’s board meeting that the village needs more lighting than initially expected. “We had originally contemplated putting three Dickens lanterns in,” she told the trustees, referring to the antiquestyle streetlights the village uses. But the “village lanterns are not known for their best illumination. So if we were to light [it] properly, it would need one Dickens lantern every 50 feet.” However, the bumped-up expense,

which will come out of the village’s surplus if the public works department budget cannot cover it, does not represent the entire lighting cost for the stretch of sidewalk. That price tag would have been “more than we have in the budget,” Trustee Larry LaPointe said. Instead the village will put in the eight streetlights, 150 feet apart, according to Garant. “Just to give it some light at this point in time, and then we can fill in as we continue to go.” The streetlights will use LED bulbs. The new roughly 0.2-mile sidewalk on Highlands Boulevard has been in the works for a while, with the idea first coming up a few years ago, when residents coordinated an effort to petition the government to preserve the village-owned grassy area along the road. It was discussed as a safety issue because pedestrians had to walk in the street to get from the condos to the uptown business district. Board members approved a parkland designation for the 6-acre grassy parcel earlier this year, a move that limits the land’s future use or development. Village officials have discussed the possibility of adding benches or walking paths there, but have expressed a desire to keep the park’s use passive.

Narcan training classes are coming up

Wrap Up The Year With Our Special Issues!

Holiday Memories Feature

Want to learn how to use Narcan, the medication that stops an opioid overdose in its tracks? Training courses are taking place across Suffolk County over the next couple of months, including in Port Jefferson and in neighboring Centereach. Narcan, the brand name of naloxone, blocks receptors in the brain to stop overdoses of drugs like heroin, Vicodin, Percocet, OxyContin or Demerol, among others. It can be administered through a nasal spray and will not cause harm if mistakenly given to someone who is not suffering an opioid overdose. The local training sessions meet state health requirements, according to the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, and will teach trainees to recognize opioid overdoses, to administer Narcan and to take other steps until emergency medical personnel arrive on the scene. All participants will receive a certificate of completion and an emergency kit that includes Narcan. The first course will be held on Monday, Dec. 14, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the county’s Office of Health Education in Hauppauge, at 725 Veterans Highway, Building C928. RSVP to 631-853-4017 or wanda.ortiz@suffolkcountyny.gov.

Police inject information By ELaNa GLowatz

The Suffolk County Police Department handed out dozens of overdose rescue kits in the Port Jefferson high school on Monday night at the conclusion of a crowded drug-abuse prevention forum geared toward educating parents. “We have to double down on prevention,” said Tim Sini, a deputy county commissioner for public safety who has recently been nominated for police commissioner. He and other officials from the police department, medical examiner’s office

and community spoke at the forum to inform parents about the dangers of drug abuse, including how kids get introduced to and hooked on drugs in the first place. Much of the discussion focused on opioid drugs, which include heroin as well as prescription painkillers like Vicodin and Percocet, and on the lifesaving Narcan, an anti-overdose medication that blocks opioid receptors in the brain and can stop an overdose of those types of drugs. According to Dr. Scott Coyne, the SCPD’s chief surgeon and medical director, in the three years since Suffolk officers have been trained to administer Narcan — the well-known brand name for naloxone — they have used it successfully 435 times. Attendees who stayed after the forum were able to register in the police department’s public Narcan program and receive a kit with two doses of the medication, which can be sprayed into an overdose victim’s nostrils.

People at the forum stay afterward to learn how to use the anti-overdose medication Narcan. Clockwise from top: Jim Laffey assembles a syringe; a woman holds a completed one in her fingers; and someone practices spraying into a dummy’s nostrils.

Governor Cuomo - Please return Our “Disappeared” Whales

to New York State’s Waters

The shallow waters that surround New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson River were once saturated with harbor porpoises, bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales. These whales have been systematically “starved” out of New York State by the industrial overfishing of their food fish, the Atlantic menhaden (bunker). Your NYS fisheries commissioners’ recent vote to increase the industrial overfishing of our whales’ food fish is indefensible. Please halt this industrial overfishing in Virginia and return our whales to New York.

HISTORY

Marshall built up Army By Rich AcRitelli

It was 74 years ago that the Japanese attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor, spurring the nation’s entry into World War II. At the helm of the American military on that deadly day was Gen. George C. Marshall, and it was up to this outspoken man to take a military of 175,000 — which was ranked 17th out of all the industrialized powers — and turn the troops into a tremendous force of 10.4 million to defeat Germany and Japan. From the moment he entered the Army in 1902, Marshall excelled at every task assigned to him. Unlike many of the West Point officers he commanded during World War II, he graduated from the Virginia Military Institute. His peers thought Marshall’s quiet and firm manner suited him for vital positions of military responsibility, and he held several different jobs in the Army, served in the Philippines

and graduated first from the Army staff college in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. During the United States’ earliest moments in France in World War I, Marshall had a famous encounter with American Expeditionary Forces Commander Gen. John J. Pershing. When, upon finding the Army was not prepared for the burden of warfare on the Western Front, Pershing criticized his officers for not doing enough training, Marshall told Pershing that he did not understand the problems his soldiers faced daily and they were doing the best that could be expected of them. At first, Marshall believed he’d be sent home in disgrace; instead Pershing respected his honesty and clarity and eventually made him a main planner of American war operations against the Germans. Years later, in the late 1930s, Marshall showed his leadership again when he sat in on a meeting with then-President Franklin D.

‘We must have the very best leadership we can possibly give these men and we’ve stopped at nothing to produce that leadership.’ — Gen. GeorGe C. Marshall, World War II arMy ChIef of staff

Roosevelt and influential members of both his cabinet and the military. When Roosevelt outlined a plan of adding planes to the Army Air Forces but virtually no other resources to the Army, all of the leaders remained quiet or supported the president. Marshall, on the other hand, angered Roosevelt by vehemently disagreeing with him. But a year later, Marshall, who was a junior to many other officers, was promoted to Army chief of staff. Knowing war was a young man’s game, Marshall reassigned, fired or retired older officers who he knew were not able to fight a modern war. One of his most important choices was making one lieutenant colonel, Dwight D. Eisenhower, into an important member of his staff. While he never directly served with this officer, he was constantly informed that Eisenhower was one of the most well-rounded leaders in the military. He saw Eisenhower as a capable officer only interested in completing his duty. Marshall also elevated Gen. Omar N. Bradley to command the ground forces in Europe from D-Day to Germany’s surrender in 1945. It was Marshall’s manner not to dwell on the personal characteristics of his key

Gen. George c. Marshall

leaders. This was the case with the erratic but brilliant combat fighter Gen. George S. Patton. Marshall stood by Patton throughout some of his troubles due to the strong belief that Patton would continually earn battlefield victories against the enemy. From the time he became Army chief of staff, Marshall was determined to prepare his nation for the rigors of war. He drafted, trained, equipped and oversaw the total war efforts of the United States to defeat fascism, conducting all of those efforts in a professional manner, not

seeking any credit for his massive contributions in the defense of his country. Marshall should be credited, however, with establishing a new army, command structure and strategy to conduct military operations against Germany and Japan. In a short period of time, he helped the United States attain a victory in an important war.

PERSPECTIVES

Caring for our oceans PJS bar hits big screen BY GiSelle BarKleY

What really did happen last night? That’s what audiences will figure out in writer and director Candice Cain’s film “What Happened Last Night,” an independent film that puts a spin on and takes a comedic approach to breakups, new flames, friends and college life. The film retraces the steps of a group of college students after a fraternity party and opens with main characters Sarah and Danny, played by Alix Kermes and Clayton Snyder. Brookhaven resident Cain brought her cast and crew to Long Island on Nov. 28 and started filming a bar scene at the Long Island Pour House in Port Jefferson Station. Although the film focuses on college students, actress Rebecca Boughton said there’s something for everyone, whether in high school, college or adulthood. “It’s just very relatable because it’s a story about relationships,” Boughton said. “It’s about coming of age and figuring out who you are and what you want to do with your life.” Boughton plays Laila, a pretentious advisor for the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. While Boughton is a member of the sorority in real life, that’s not the only thing that attracted her to the film. She and the cast agree that Cain’s script has natural dialogue, making the interaction between characters realistic. “You know she comes from a theater background,” actor Jake Thomas said. “It’s a very long script, but it does flow very quickly because the dialogue just jumps from one thing to another.” Like many of the cast, Thomas is no stranger to the stage. As a kid, he played alongside Hilary Duff as Lizzie McGuire’s little brother Matt on the 2001 Disney television series of the same name. Thomas is making an appearance in Cain’s film as Dave, the main character’s ex-boyfriend. Snyder, who played Ethan Craft on the same Disney Channel show, recommended the production to Thomas. Cain wrote the story in three days, when she was a 19-year-old George Washington University student. The idea came about after she woke up at a friend’s place after attending a party the night before. Cain was sick during the party and took Nyquil

before attending, and her friend allowed her to stay overnight after alcohol spilled on Cain and soaked her clothing. She woke up to the smell of bacon but couldn’t immediately remember where she was. “I started thinking to myself, ‘What if there was someone in bed with me and I woke up? How would I have reacted?’” Cain recalled. The writer and director performed her story at her university’s theater, acting as Sarah. Two decades later, this past April, Cain found the script in her basement. “Everyone who’s been in a relationship knows that breakups suck,” Kermes said. “They’re hard especially in college when you start thinking about your future.” Big name stars like Amber Rose and WWE wrestler David Otunga, who’s engaged to singer Jennifer Hudson, will also appear in the film, which hits theaters next year. Otunga heard about the film through his agent and took on the role of Tiny, a large bartender who comes to the rescue of Sarah’s friend Mindy, played by Diana Durango. “I’m really happy to be able to support independent films,” Otunga said. “I feel like these are so much fun because it’s truly about the art. It’s not super-huge budgets and everything, but we make it work and make such an awesome looking project and it’s really cool to be a part of that.”

Fabien Cousteau speaks to students at the ocean conservation summit.

Your turn BY KathY O’Sullivan

On Nov. 21, a Youth Ocean Conservation Summit, organized by the acclaimed environmental organization Coastal Steward, brought nearly 50 concerned students from some 20 Long Island high schools together in the Wang Center at Stony Brook University and challenged them to take seriously the importance of not only Planet Earth, but also “Planet Ocean.” In the words of Bill Wise, the New York Sea Grant director and a co-sponsor of the event, “Our oceans are experiencing the largest extinction event in Earth’s history. The acidity of the oceans is rising, the coral reefs are dying, and the climate is changing. Your generation must dare to think and learn about this and take action. There is no more important task. Begin the journey.” He was followed by the keynote speaker Fabien Cousteau, the grandson of French undersea explorer, photographer, writer and inventor of diving and scuba gear Jacques Cousteau. Fabien Cousteau has followed in his grandfather’s footsteps, having just completed a record 31 days underwater. “What we do to save the oceans in the next 10 years,” he said, “will determine our future for the next 10,000 years. People protect what they love. Learn to love the ocean. Water is the most precious thing on Earth. It is our future. So far we have done 100 years of ocean exploration and have explored only 5 percent of it. Bond to your ocean planet. Teach yourself to double the time you can hold your breath. Go diving. It’s a magical world.” He showed pictures of his grandfather, who had built a “village” underwater in 1963. People lived there, 65 feet down.

“You lose some of your [sense of] smell and taste, but your hair grows faster and infections heal faster,” he said. The speaker said underwater creatures are in danger: “They say that 30 percent of sea life is gone. We bring back data on the health of corals and sponges from day to day. We are exploring unknown reefs and need as much help as possible. America is setting up national marine sanctuaries, but only 3 percent of the reefs are protected today. Can we make that 15 percent by the end of the decade?” Cousteau ended by telling the students, “We believe in you. You can have a profound effect on the future.” A panel discussion on marine conservation issues in New York followed. Speakers included Wise, as well as Debra Abercrombie, a shark expert; Nathan Epler, a hydrogeologist; and Lauren Henry from Surfriders, a grass roots organization committed to protecting oceans, waves and beaches. Mel Morris from Brookhaven National Laboratory also explained the concept of “citizen science and stewardship.” Most impressive was Sean Russell, the student who pioneered the concept of youth ocean conservation summits five years ago. He spoke of events that have already been held in cities across the country. After a much-needed lunch break, the students framed projects of their own that were practical. The day ended on a high note as those were presented. Most concentrated on removing oneuse plastic water bottles from their schools by designing and selling multiuse bottles, then using the profits to create filling stations in school halls. One group talked about making a video of a beach before and after a beach clean-up. All exhibited a caring and compassionate connection to the environment. Expect another summit next year. O’Sullivan is a Port Jefferson resident.

evening, said that she was surprised by the margin of victory. “In the huddle before the game, I said we have to be hungrier than they were,” Gabel said. “So we went out there and played our hardest and we left it all out on the court.” Following Gabel for the Warriors was junior guard Megan Turner with seven points, and forwards Sam Collins, a junior, and Victoria Blaney, a sophomore, chipped in four points apiece. “They’re a strong team, but I don’t think we played up to our standards,” Turner said. “Defensively we’re strong, but our offense needs a little work.” Rocky Point senior guard Michaela Peacock and junior center Allyson Greenstein matched Jauhiainen with five points each. Rocky Point head coach Scott Lindsay said Comsewogue is always a tough team to play because they’re physical and have two strong guards. “They play a strong defense up top, which caused a little problem when they started pressing,” Lindsay said. “With our second group, I was really impressed with how they were moving the ball. We’re improving from game to game — they played hard the whole way and I think we’re building on something here.” Comsewogue will host Harborfields in its first home game of the season today. A 5:45 p.m. tipoff is scheduled.

OPINION Protect mute swans

EDITORIAL

The gift of caring

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the chaos of shopping for holiday gifts during the December rush. Most of us are trying to get in and out of stores and malls as quickly as possible, but staying a little bit longer could go a long way this holiday season if we all make an effort to buy just one more present. It doesn’t have to be a big one, like a video game console — although we’re sure nobody would mind that — but we could all buy just one more gift and donate it to a child in need through a local church or charity. There are kids whose parents simply cannot afford gifts, or live in domestic violence shelters, or don’t have parents at all. Those kids deserve a little happiness, too, to know that they are part of a community and that there are other people out there who care about them. We could also consider donating a gift to a hospital or a nursing home, where there could sometimes be people without family to remember them during the holidays. Many local schools raise money to donate toys to those who are less fortunate. The Students Against Drunk Driving club at Mount Sinai, for example, raised money for holiday Magic (631-265-7200), a not-for-profit organization that dedicates itself to making the holidays special for less fortunate children and their families. The club raised more than $7,000 and went shopping at Walmart and the Smith haven Mall to purchase gifts for 67 children. We, too, could look beyond ourselves and make our community better this holiday season. There are strangers all around us who need a friend. Let’s make a difference in one of their lives during the season of giving.

TO ThE EDITOR: We are appalled by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s veto, on Nov. 13, of two bills requesting a moratorium on the Department of Environmental Conservation’s plan for mute swan management. These bills had passed by overwhelming bipartisan majorities in both state chambers. Make no mistake about it: the DEC management plan for mute swans is lethal. The estimated 2,200 mute swans in New York State will be reduced to a mere 800. We commented extensively to the DEC, to the governor’s office and to Audubon New York for the last two years, itemizing deficiencies and discrepancies in both the original and revised plans. The DEC failed on every count to answer our questions. Among other items, we cited a lack of scientific evidence, inconsistencies in stated goals, outdated population counts, bias in decision-making and problematic management schemes. One of the glaring problems in the DEC management plan is that all adult mute swans must be under municipal or private management, yet the plan fails to provide jurisdiction of swans living along the tidal coastlines of either Long Island or the NYC metropolitan areas. how will these swans, which swim across municipal lines, be claimed for management? Or will this point be moot, as they will be among the 1,200 shot? After all, these swans are not contained in parks and lakes. As for the others? Groups or private individuals will have to come forward and apply to DEC to manage them. how will the public react, however, when they realize that requires wing-clipping? The only adult mute swans we get to view will be

maimed, through surgical removal of at least one of their wings. Imagine observing a maimed swan attempting to fly with half a wing. What message does this form of animal cruelty send to our impressionable children? In addition, all eggs will be addled [shaken], or oiled, so there will be no more young swans in any location. What a lost opportunity to provide this easily observable window into the natural world. By vetoing the moratorium bills, Gov. Cuomo ignored his learned legislators, including state Sen. Ken LaValle and Assemblyman Steve

Englebright, chair of the assembly’s Committee on Environmental Conservation, both of whom voted in favor of a moratorium. Instead, Gov. Cuomo bowed to the pressure of a few upstate individuals with an agenda of removing mute swans to make room for northern species of trumpeter and tundra swans, both of which are non-nesters in NYS. These two species are considered trophy birds when hunted, and we predict they will soon be on the DEC’s seasonal list of hunted waterfowl.

Code for success

I believe the Port Jeff Code Enforcement Bureau officers deserve to be singled out and acknowledged for their professional service during the festival. Their law enforcement background became very apparent as they worked long hours directing traffic and doing their part to make sure the thousands of visitors who came to Port Jeff were safe and enjoyed the festival. As a Port Jeff merchant I would like to thank code enforcement for a job well done. Ken Veale Port Jeff Motorcycle

TO ThE EDITOR: Last weekend the weather was perfect and the sun really shined on the 20th anniversary Charles Dickens Festival. By any measure, the festival was a big success. Much credit must be given to Mayor Margot Garant, the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, Port Jefferson Village workers, The Greater Port JeffersonNorthern Brookhaven Arts Council and the many volunteers whose hard work made the festival a success.

Trying to see the good in all God’s children

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

I

s there divine in all of us, or only in the people who share our religion? If your God, my God, anyone’s God, created the Earth and all the people, animals and planets on it, then does She want those who are true believers to annihilate and destroy the other people She created because they don’t believe in Her? What? You don’t think God could be female? That’s a topic

for another column. Recently, I read about a charitable act. At the end of the article, I saw that people were commenting about how that charity could only come from someone of their religion — I’m not going to indicate what religion it was. The commentors were convinced that it couldn’t have come from someone who followed a different religious discipline. Why? If there are elements to ourselves that are a combination of destroyers and builders, lovers and haters, sinners and saints, why should something extraordinary or even inspirational be limited to one religion? Couldn’t everyone’s God speak through or act through one person, regardless of his background or religion, to inspire others to greater heights, to do something incredibly beneficial to his or her fellow human beings without selecting only those people who go to the right building, speak the right language and follow the right

religious practices? Maybe we need to close our eyes to see the divine in everyone. Religion has this way of bringing out the best in us and, at times, the worst. We sometimes feel that we’ve received some message from a divine being who tells us that we must right the wrongs of people who are outside our religous group. Centuries after the Crusades, humans still resort to weapons to make our point with those who have other religious beliefs. I understand the fear, especially in an era when every politician with national aspirations describes a boogeyman (or woman). I also understand the reality that there are people bent on destroying us and that we can’t go naively into that good night, imagining we live in a utopian world where we can ignore threats. It’s real and it dominates the headlines every day. This isn’t about the extreme cases, where we have to be

vigilant against killers who, for whatever reason, feel they are doing something important in their lives by killing others before dying. That doesn’t seem like much of a way to honor anyone’s God. This is about the way we relate to each other and the way we think of religious groups outside our own. Why should something spectacular or incredible have to originate from the mind or heart of someone from our religion? Turning this around, do you like everyone in your church, temple or mosque? Do you routinely sit during services and feel a universal kindred spirit with everyone in that room that you don’t feel with the people in your child’s classroom at school, at your daughter’s ballet recital or at a concert where the music seems to echo around the room long after our kids have stopped strumming? Would you randomly pick a name out of the hat at your

Do you like everyone in your church, temple or mosque?

house of worship and be equally thrilled to host any of those people in your home for a week, a night or even a long dinner? Religion can offer us a chance to see and imagine that the best is yet to come in anyone around us. We don’t have to give up our own religion and it doesn’t lessen our religion to believe that something spectacular lies just beneath the surface of another person passing by us, even if that person doesn’t share our religion. If we are all God’s children, wouldn’t She (or He) want us to put more effort into getting along with our siblings?

Delightful seasonal and cultural events to savor

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

T

his past weekend started for me with a stellar performance, as usual, by the Emerson String Quartet at the Staller Center on the Stony Brook University campus. This marvelous string ensemble comes to us directly from Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center or at any given time, from other musical capitals in the world. They are, incredibly for us, in residence at Stony Brook and as part of the deal struck with SBU past president, Shirley Kenny, they give four performances a year here. The quartet features Eugene

Drucker and Philip Setzer, who alternate at first and second violin, Lawrence Dutton on the viola, and now Paul Watkins, who replaced David Finckel in 2013, playing the cello. The original group formed when they were students at Juilliard, then turned professional in 1976, and in the course of their career they have released more than 30 albums and won nine Grammys along with the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize. They were inducted into the Classical Music Hall of Fame in 2010. Friday night, they played two selections by Haydn and two by Beethoven. Attending their concerts is made even more delightful for not having to drive more than a few minutes from door to door and being assured of convenient and free parking upon arrival. The audience routinely gives them a standing ovation. Moving onto the next day, three friends and I joined up to view the 37th annual Candlelight House Tour, traditionally held on Friday evenings and Saturday daytimes, and made possible as a fundraiser by the hard work of the Three Village Historical Society. Members

take care of the myriad of details from selecting to decorating the homes, along with professional help made possible by local contributions. Each year homeowners graciously allow hundreds of visitors to traipse through their rooms, checking out the decor and listening to the history explained many times over during the day by society members and helpers. This year the homes were centered in Old Stony Brook, and the weather cooperated magnificently. Many of us well remember in past years waiting in line to enter the homes in subfreezing, or snowy, or rainy or sharply windy days. Sunny Saturday was a Goldilocks day for touring: not too cold, not too hot, just right. And if house tours are your thing, the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce has worked hard to organize the Lantern Light House Tour, this year centered in Harbor Hills. Also a fundraiser, the event is scheduled for this Saturday, Dec. 12, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Like the one in Three Village, the tour is very much a community effort with generous contributions of time and financial backing.

As if this weren’t enough activity for a satisfying weekend, we enjoyed the lighting of the splendid Christmas tree on the Stony Brook Village Green, sponsored as usual, by The Ward Melville Heritage Organization Sunday night. WMHO has been happily celebrating its 75th anniversary throughout this past year. On Jan. 19, there will be a special anniversary commemoration of the night Ward Melville hosted a dinner at the Three Village Inn for the owners of the sundry shops and unveiled his plans for the first shopping mall in America, a crescent village on the hill overlooking Stony Brook Harbor. After much good food and drink, the shop owners agreed to join the effort. The result was the picturesque Stony Brook Village Center, designed by architect Richard Haviland Smythe that we enjoy now, three quarters of a century later. The ongoing vibrancy of the village was further illustrated by the ribbon-cutting party later that evening at the site of the latest business to join the Stony Brook shopping center. Blue Salon & Spa, formerly Legends, welcomed

guests, who devoured delicious hors d’oeuvres provided by owner, Cathy Hansen, in her newly renovated salon. It was a symbolic end to the evening’s festivities. Meanwhile in the other direction, Port Jefferson Village offered the Dickens festival last Saturday and Sunday for the 20th year. Originally the brainchild of former mayor, Jeanne Garant, churches, schools, the theater, stores and restaurants all joined together to transform the village into a Dickensian wonderland, replete with 19th century characters walking the streets and engaging the public. (And throughout December you may stop at Santa’s Workshop, a brilliant creation of the talented Pat Darling.) Encouraged by the wonderful weather, visitors came out in droves to the festival, putting Port Jefferson on the map as the glorious destination village that it is.
