Northwind and property owners association clash over Preserve at Indian Hills project BY CHRIS CUMELLA DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Town of Huntington Planning Board will soon be releasing results from their research on the geographical region in their Final Environmental Impact Statement for The Preserve at Indian Hills project. Northwind Group CEO Jim Tsunis said he is determined to start construction on what he said would be one of the most extraordinary projects on the East Coast. The Preserve is a planned senior residential community through the construction of new units along the Indian Hills golf course and country club, giving residents views from what Tsunis describes as “one of the most beautiful country clubs on Long Island.” The goal of Hauppauge-based developers Northwind and Nelson Pope Voorhis, land surveyors of Melville, is to respect the country club’s land while blending in a new community. They hope to see home values in the area soar over time. Tsunis’ development team said it has mitigated the environmental impacts from constructing these units through public input. “In all of my communities, I reach out to area residents to gain their input to achieve the best results,” Tsunis said. NPV submitted a response detailing specific comments that were addressed to them through the gathering of town input, such as the requests for marked pedestrian crosswalks and maintaining steady traffic of vehicles, pedestrians and golf carts, all of which have been claimed to be resolved.

The Draft Environmental Impact Statement was designed in 2019 to gather public feedback and utilize it to adjust the project to bridge compromises between the developers and residents. The Town Board presented a notice of completion for the FEIS in August 2020. However, some in the community thought the inquiries were anything but complete. “The Town of Huntington now has to do what they call a findings statement,” said John Hayes, president of the Fort Salonga Property Owners Association. “They write down their recommendations for the developers and the proposed development.” Hayes and the association have opposed much of the development’s progress since the draft became viewable in 2019. He expressed his surprise once he found out the FEIS was proposed to be completed from what he calls “an understatement” that he and several local community members highly contest. Of the total 86 units expected to be built around the Indian Hills Country Club’s perimeter, 36 of them reside a few hundred feet from a labeled coastal erosion hazard area. This 2,500-foot bluff of land is nestled between the Long Island Sound and the country club, chiseled by the rising water levels every spring and summer, washed away and cleared by the passing of every fall and winter. Hayes detailed how the nitrogen levels in the Sound could increase with the new units’ construction. “The problem is not only that you have this 2,500-foot fault line, but if you are going to build 86 houses, the nitrogen level is

governed by wastewater,” Hayes said. “That makes it even more unstable.” Tsunis and his team will require a preliminary subdivision approval from the Town of Huntington in order to start work soon. The rate of shore recession proves worrisome for environmental professionals concerned that winter storms will continue to remove sediment on the beach and tear away at the base of the bluffs. “It’s dangerous,” said state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), chair of the state’s Assembly Committee on Environmental Conservation. “There’s a very large body of clay that runs along the base of the bluff. The weight of water in the soil is enough to squeeze toothpaste-like clay onto the beach every winter.”

Englebright and his state Assembly committee colleagues were able to measure the rate of erosion in the Baiting Hollow area of Riverhead, where they found dune forms that ran north and south, more than a mile in length from top to bottom. Today, he says that what is left is no more than a few hundred yards of dunes, the rest of which has been eroded since sea levels increased in the Sound. While reviews for the Indian Hills project are still currently underway to maintain and improve the development shortly, there is still a distance between the property owners association and Northwind. “We have never turned down talking with the developers,” Hayes said. “We met with them more than three times, and yet we have never been anywhere near an agreement.”

Smyth announces run for supervisor, Lupinacci not to seek reelection BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Soon after current Town of Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) announced Feb. 26 he wouldn’t run for reelection in November, Huntington Republican Committee Chairman Thomas McNally sent out an email stating the committee endorsed Councilman Ed Smyth for its candidate. Smyth was first elected to the Town Board in 2017. Last November he ran unsuccessfully for state senator against Jim Gaughran (D-Northport). “Ed Smyth is a Marine, a husband and father and a lifelong Huntington resident,” McNally said. “He has a vision for the future of our town and he exudes leadership. There’s not a better or more qualified person to be Huntington’s next town supervisor.” Smyth thanked the committee for their endorsement. “We’ve experienced tremendous success over the last three years, and I look forward to building on these achievements as town supervisor,” the councilman said. In a Feb. 26 statement, Lupinacci said his decision not to run again for town

The Huntington Republican Committee also nominated David Bennardo and Salvatore Ferro for two open town council seats and Andre Sorrentino for superintendent of highways. Bennardo is a former principal at Harborfields High School, and in July 2012, took over the role of superintendent in the South Huntington school district. Ferraro is president, CEO and owner of Alure Home Improvements and a current member of the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals. Sorrentino is the owner of Professional Automotive Services and Sorrentino Trucking, while currently serving as director of General Services for the town and a Huntington fire commissioner. “We have an extraordinary team of talented professionals who are committed to making our town a better place to live,” McNally said. “We know that our team, our party and our town are all stronger when we work together. That’s the approach we’re going to take to win in November and it’s going to help us continue the progress we’ve made over the last three years to

supervisor came “after much deliberation and consideration with my family, friends and advisers.” “To be clear, this was my decision and my decision alone made in the best interest of my family, the town and the Republican Party,” he said. “While this decision is a difficult one, it is made easier by the fact that in less than one term I have delivered on all of my campaign promises and will continue to accomplish the many goals I set out to achieve before this final year is complete. Few administrations have faced as many challenges, and few have achieved what we have. I am proud that I will leave the Town of Huntington in a far better place than when I took office, and for that reason I am incredibly optimistic about the future of the town and its hamlets that I love so much.” In February, the Huntington Town Democratic Committee announced Rebecca Sanin’s run for Town of Huntington supervisor.

Tigers topple powerful Brentwood in upset to win conference

BY STEVEN ZAITZ DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The inside of the Brentwood High School gymnasium is wallpapered with a half-century’s worth of championship basketball banners. League titles, Suffolk County and Long Island crowns are all on display, as the facade behind the north basket at Stan Kellner Fieldhouse holds a rich hoops history. The most recent decoration behind that basket is a Suffolk County Class AA Championship placard that the Indians earned when they scalped Northport Tigers by 27 points, right before the pandemic struck a year ago. They were Suffolk County champs in 2019 as well. Short season or not, Brentwood seemed to be on a mission to roll right through anybody that stood in their way in 2021. They had been putting up massive scoring numbers and were winning by 40, 50 or 60 points every night, just for fun. Newsday’s top ranked player for Long Island, senior forward Jordan Riley, who has committed to Georgetown University, averaged an astounding 33 points a game, and he hit that exact mark in Brentwood’s first round win over Commack on Saturday, an 8349 rout. This Indians team was seemingly an unstoppable force. Insert immovable object here. “We didn’t care about any of that,” said Northport junior power forward Dylan McNaughton. “Once the whistle blows, it’s their five guys versus our five guys. We are Northport.” In one of the biggest upsets in recent high school basketball memory, the Tigers slipped past the Brentwood Indians, 58-56, on Sunday, to win the Suffolk County Conference I championship in a defensive yet thrilling contest that came right down to the wire. “Our guys believed in the plan,” said an elated but exhausted Andrew D’Eloia, head coach of Northport. “We played a great brand of help defense, we rebounded well and we limited our turnovers. We have good players, we executed and we believed in each other. That’s the only way to beat a team like that.” Senior guard and team captain Patrick Healy led the Tigers with 19 points. He and backcourt mate senior Robbie Kennedy, who had 10, poked and prodded at the Brentwood defense, exploiting small cracks and getting to the rim. “They didn’t want to give us the ‘3’,” Healy said. “Robbie and I took what they were willing to give us.” The Tigers only made five 3-point shots on eight attempts, both statistics well below their average.

“Our goal is to get a good shot on every possession,” D’Eloia said. “Patrick and Robbie did an excellent job of running the offense, sharing the basketball and when they had an opportunity to take an open driving lane, they did.” Going strong to the basket against Brentwood is not for the faint of heart, especially for Kennedy who gave away significant height to the men who were guarding him. “It’s like that every game I’ve ever played,” said Kennedy, who is listed at 5 feet 9 inches. “I’m always the shortest guy on the floor but I make up for it with confidence in myself.” He had enough confidence to make what would be the final and decisive bucket of the game with less than a minute to go, and the score tied at 54-54. He drove to the basket against Brentwood’s Marquese Dennis and Billy Lucate, slid between them with a semi-Euro step and banked it in with a right-handed scoop. “It feels amazing,” said Kennedy on his winning shot. “I’ve been here for four years and this is a great way to end my high school career.” To get the opportunity to play in this historic title bout, Northport had to beat a game Ward Melville team on Feb. 27. They did that with a 45-32 win in a contest that took place at Northport High School. Healy led the team with 15 points and forward Jake Santamaria posted 10. Although the final margin was 13, the game was tight for three quarters and the Patriots even enjoyed a four-point lead at halftime. That enjoyment was short-lived as the Tigers blitzed Ward Melville, 24-9 in the fourth quarter. Santamaria had all 10 of his points in that decisive quarter, and McNaughton grabbed six rebounds and had 11 total boards for the game. In the two games, McNaughton, who also plays linebacker and quarterback for the Tiger football team, had 21 points and 22 rebounds. “Dylan is a smart, skilled player with a great basketball demeanor,” D’Eloia said. “He’s a three-sport kid, and he competes hard.” Against Brentwood, McNaughton caught an elbow in the face in the first quarter and played with a bloody nose plug for the rest of the game, a fitting metaphor for the hardscrabble style that propelled the Tigers to victory and will now give them the opportunity to redecorate the walls of their gym. Pictured clockwise from upper left, Healy, left, and Kennedy celebrate the Northport Tigers’ Suffolk County Division I title; forward McNaughton at the foul line after being elbowed in the face in the first quarter; Kennedy looks to pass against Brentwood; and Healy skies to the rim against Brentwood. — Photos by Steven Zaitz

 Northport Tigers girls fall in basketball semifinals BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Northport girls basketball struggled from the opening tip-off trailing in the Conference I semifinal playoff game on the road against Longwood until Sophia Yearwood swished a 3-pointer to tie the game at 23 all, late in the second quarter. It would be the only time Northport evened the score as the Longwood Lions stretched their legs clamping down on defense to contain the Tigers the rest of the way for a 55-39 victory Feb. 27 to advance to the final round. Northport junior Sophia Yearwood led the

way for the Tigers with a field goal and three triples for 11 points. Teammates Sohpia Bica banked nine, Emma Blanco netted six and Hannah Morawski added five. Northport capped their abbreviated season with a 5-2 League I record and 5-3 overall. Pictured clockwise from above, Yearwood in traffic; Blanco fights for the rebound for the Tigers; junior guard Allison Soule scores for the Tigers; Northport senior Morawski drives the baseline; Northport junior Natalia Donofrio shoots from the corner; and junior Bica lays up for two in traffic. — Photos by Bill Landon

Editorial

TBR News Media Editor Julianne Mosher

Women in journalism

It’s pretty funny. Journalism was always known as a male-dominated field. Back in the day, women were mostly secretaries in the field — a select few would end up publishing their own works like the famous Nellie Bly. But even so, thanks to the brave and loud people who fought for women’s rights all those years ago, we’re allowed to do what we do. In celebration of Women’s History Month this March, we thank them, from the bottom of our hearts. Now it’s 2021 and a lot has changed since Bly took a trip around the world in 72 days and uncovered the horrors of mental institutions in the late 1880s. TBR News Media currently staffs primarily women — its three editors are all female. We’ve had men work here before, but it just happened to work out that the majority of employees are now female. Although the world has given our gender more rights than before, it’s still tough out there for women in journalism — between community to national levels, broadcast, radio, print and the web. Our colleagues have been harassed on the street, cat called, grabbed. Some of us have been victim blamed or spoken to in a condescending way. Some of us in journalism don’t earn as much as our male counterparts — even on Long Island (yes, equal pay still does not exist). But yet, women are still out there talking to you, telling your stories, being as empathetic as we can be when interviewing, photographing, taking videos and writing an article. We have a lot to be thankful for, but there still needs to be change. We need to be paid properly for what we do. We need to be thanked for the work we do. We need respect — and not to be grabbed or harassed while we do our jobs. This applies not only to us but all the women out there who are doing their best to feed their families, achieve their goals and to make their mark on the world.

Letters to the Editor

Hearings to be held on police reform, reinvention plans

The Suffolk County Legislature this month is being presented with plans to reinvent policing in our county, and we are opening an extensive public comment period to give community members every opportunity to share their thoughts with us. The plans were created pursuant to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Executive Order No. 203, “NYS Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative,” which directs that each local government entity with a police agency perform a comprehensive review of current police practices and develop a plan to reinvent policing. The crux of the initiative is to identify the needs of communities, promote community engagement to foster trust, fairness and legitimacy and address any racial bias and disproportionate policing of communities of color. The legislature will hold three virtual public hearings covering both the Suffolk County Police Department’s reform plan and the Sheriff’s Office’s reform plan. Members of the public can weigh in at special meetings of the legislature’s Public Safety Committee via Zoom at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 11 or Thursday, March 18. To speak at either of those hearings, sign up at scnylegislature.us/PublicSafetyPH.

A public hearing will also be held on Tuesday, March 16 at 2 p.m. during the legislature’s general meeting. To speak at that hearing, sign up at scnylegislature.us/ publichearing. Each speaker will have the floor for three minutes. The hearings will be livestreamed on the legislature’s website. The legislature’s rules do not require such a substantial public comment period, but the critically important nature of these plans calls for going above and beyond. These two reform plans are about our future; not only will they affect residents today, but they will also impact generations of residents long after us. Essential to our due diligence as my colleagues and I weigh these reform plans will be understanding how our constituents feel about them, so we want to make sure that everyone who wants to speak has the opportunity. Meaningful change should not be instituted in a vacuum. For change to be successful — to really take hold and become a part of our community’s culture — it needs buy in from stakeholders. As elected officials, we have a responsibility to our constituents to ensure that they are being heard. This is why we are holding three public hearings. This is why

we are having them in the evening and in the afternoon, so that people can speak at a time that is convenient for them. This is why we are not voting on these plans until we have heard from the community. Government is about public service, and to serve the public we need to include the public. The Suffolk County Legislature must vote on the reform plans by the end of the month. We must ensure these plans address the root of fears from people on both sides of the discussion and build on the initiatives already underway to establish trust and confidence between our law enforcement agencies and the communities they protect. To do that, we need to hear from you. Police reinvention will be a part of our legacy as the people living in Suffolk County in 2021, and we should all be a part of it. I encourage all who are interested to read more about the plans, watch the hearings, and speak up if you have something to say. For more information, visit suffolkcountyny.gov/Police-Reform and suffolkcountysheriffsoffice.com/policereform.

Rob Calarco (D-Patchogue) Presiding Officer Suffolk County Legislature

Say ‘Yes’ to For the People Act On Jan. 4, U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) introduced H.R. 1 in the House of Representatives. It is a bill known as For the People Act of 2021 to expand Americans’ access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants and implement other anti-corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy. A March vote has now been set, as both the Democrat and Republican parties develop their positions.

It is vitally important that we citizens take a stand now. Democrats will support H.R. 1, as it embodies almost all their democracy reform aspirations. The legislation aims to substantially ease access to the ballot box, curb the role of money in politics, end partisan gerrymandering and tighten government ethics. Republicans seem certain to oppose it unanimously. In fact, on Feb. 17, they launched two nationwide efforts to make voting more difficult in 2022.

Wake up before it’s too late Congratulations to all the President Joe Biden [D] supporters including the unions that voted for him. Due to you electing Biden, thousands of workers have lost their jobs, and gas and oil prices, as well as taxes, are now going to go up. In addition, our First and Second Amendment rights are disappearing, and the border wall is being destroyed which protected the citizens of America. It is ironic though

that a new wall has been built around the Capitol building to protect the “elite” in Washington, D.C. We are on the verge of becoming a socialist-communist country because of your hatred for former President Donald Trump [R]. Over 74 million Americans are not going to let Biden, Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] and Chuck Schumer [D-NY], as well as the rest of their followers, destroy

The package will stand little chance in this 50-50 Senate unless we, as the potential recipients of this bill’s reforms, actively support it. I urge you to call our senators to confirm your support of H.R. 1: Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at 631-753-0978; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) at 631-249-2825. Rita Edwards South Setauket

our country. Wake up before it’s too late. It’s time to elect responsible politicians in our country. Unfortunately, when you have so much hate, the ability to think intelligently is compromised and all the positive accomplishments in the past four years are now destroyed. Richard Esopa Miller Place

Conversations about vaccinations, college and conferences

n my daily conversations with a range of people over the last week, I have heard stories I thought I’d share, as a reﬂection of the reality of our lives. The ﬁrst involved a discussion with Joe about his vaccination. Joe had been trying to sign up for a COVID vaccination for weeks. He thought he’d landed a coveted vaccination appointment at Jones Beach. Driving out there for a 6 p.m. appointment, he drove D. None in circles. The site had the of the above wrong address, he BY DANIEL DUNAIEF said. In addition, even the correct address, which had a phone onsite that wasn’t working, naturally, was closed

that day because the winds were too high. “Who would put tents up on Jones Beach?” Joe asked, his voice barely rising but his frustration evident from the time wasted trying to get a vaccination that would allow him to do a job that required interacting with the public. “If you want to build a tent, put it somewhere that’s not as windy. It wasn’t even snowing.” Fortunately, Joe, who spent more time the next day sharing his experience with a vaccination operator, was able to schedule a make-up appointment much closer to home. The next day, I spoke with Matthew, who is worrying about his son Jim, who is a sophomore in college. Jim, you see, has already received a COVID warning. A second warning or infraction could send his son home, which would, as Matthew put it, “not be good for anybody.” As it turns out, Jim has a girlfriend, Sarah. Normally, that wouldn’t be such a cause for concern for his parents or for the university. Still, with his girlfriend living in a different

penitentiary, I mean, dormitory, Jim is not allowed to visit with Sarah. The problem is that Sarah, who is an excellent and committed student, not only works hard at school, but also inspires Jim to expend considerable additional academic effort. If Jim stops seeing Sarah, which he may do to comply with school rules designed to protect the campus from spreading the dangerous virus, he will miss time with his close friend, while he will also likely not study as hard. My friend Matthew advised Jim to be careful and comply with the rules, although I could tell that he felt his own return on the investment he spends for college will likely be higher if Jim spends more time with his studious friend. Finally, I spoke with Paul, a friend who regularly attended conferences before COVID shut all those events down. Paul traveled at least four times a year to meetings all over the world, visiting interesting places but, more

importantly, speaking with people in his field. One day in 2019, Paul was sitting in one such conference and was taking notes. As the conference ended, he and the man sitting next to him, whom he’d never met, struck up a conversation. The man suggested a follow-up effort to the work that might help the industry. Realizing he had the ability to do exactly what the stranger suggested, Paul asked if the man would mind if he used the idea. The stranger was delighted and a friendship, and an idea, was born. I asked Paul how much he missed conferences and if he planned to attend them when the world reopened. He said he would not only jump at the chance, but might even attend conferences he wouldn’t have previously considered, just to benefit from such random and potentially beneficial interactions. His only hesitation is that he hasn’t gotten his vaccination yet. He wondered what I thought about driving out to Jones Beach.

Choices, and possibly regrets, that define a life

“

What are you doing for enrichment these days, now that you can’t see a Broadway play or go to the opera or comfortably travel to new countries?” asked a longtime friend the other day. “Do you feel like you are in a desert?” I had to think about that for a moment. True, those events she mentioned that I so enjoy have been on hold throughout this unimaginable pandemic we are enduring, and I certainly miss them. While I have my work Between with the newspapers you and me and digital media that keeps me happily BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF occupied, the pleasure I take in the cultural side of my life has not disappeared. It’s just changed. I’ll tell you how and see if you agree.

Yes, I love to travel. But, you know, reading books and taking trips have much in common. A faithful subscriber, who writes to me often and sends me clippings that he ﬁnds interesting, sent me a column from The Wall Street Journal by Elizabeth Bernstein. “Books expand our world, providing an escape and offering novelty, surprise and excitement, which boost dopamine,” she comments. “They broaden our perspective and help us empathize with others. And they can improve our social life, giving us something to connect over.” She could just as correctly be describing travel. Bernstein goes on to quote Mitchell Kaplan, owner of independent book stores Books & Books and co-founder of the Miami Book Fair. “You disconnect from the chaos around you. You reconnect with yourself when you are reading.” I certainly agree. At the moment, I am reading The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. In this New York Times bestseller, he takes up a subject that has at one time or another occurred to all of us: what if I had taken another road in my earlier life? It brings to mind the Robert

Frost poem, “The Road Not Taken,” as it deals with the many choices the young heroine in the novel could have made differently. And ultimately, the story reconnects us with ourselves, as travel does for me. What if I had gone south instead of north on my trip? What would I have experienced? Whom would I have met? That is not so different from: what if I had gone to a different college, taken a different major, married a different person, settled in a different place? Books, like travel, stimulate, entertain, and if they are good books with universal themes, speak to you personally. Of course, you don’t get to eat the different native cuisine when you read that you do when you travel. Books and travel: analogous but not the same. Yes, books are a magic carpet that can transport you to any place in the universe, but I surely do miss the physicality of travel, of throwing a few articles of clothing and my toothbrush into a suitcase and hitting the road. As to other enrichment in my life, I have become captivated by movies on streaming services like Netﬂix and Hulu. Well, some of

those films offer cultural enrichment, some just good old entertainment. I fell in love with Outlander, the time-travel series I stayed up until all hours binge-watching, as I have previously mentioned. Since then there have been many that I would recommend, including some that were finalists for the Golden Globes awards that I was able to watch on my Smart TV. Nomadland, which won for best motion picture, is about a slice of life in America that few of us see. The story follows an older widow who outfits her vehicle so that she can live in it and travels around the Southwest, working occasional spot jobs to sustain her along the way. She meets up with others doing the same, and they are mutually supportive even as they are fiercely independent. Her journey is one of self discovery, revealed through her choices, even at an advanced age. Others I have enjoyed include The Dig, The Trial of the Chicago Seven, East Side Sushi, Penguin Bloom, Red Sea Diving Resort and the delightful series, Firefly Lane. I don’t feel like I am in a cultural desert, but I want it all back.
