Harvest Times Fun in the Fall On The North Shore Of Long Island!

With Incredible Distribution and Reach!

Huntington town announced last week that they have maintained their AAA bond rating, and their outlook has been upgraded to “stable.” Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service have upheld the town’s rating, covering both existing debt and a planned $13.925 million bond issue. Moody’s said the rating “reflects the town’s currently satisfactory reserve position and improving financial obligations, its sizable wealthy tax base and low debt burden.” They also said the stable outlook “reflects our expectation of continued sound financial operations and modest growth and overall stability in the local economy.” In issuing its rating, Moody’s cited Huntington’s management and good financial policies and practices, as well as adequate budgetary performance, strong budgetary flexibility, very strong liquidity and strong debt and contingent liability position. “We believe the town has demonstrated

sound monitoring, ability to adopt and adhere to formal policies, and forward-planning,” the rating firm’s report said. “Town management tends to conservatively estimate both expenditures and revenues.” The ratings extend to both the $13.925 million in borrowing and the $109 million in outstanding debt. Of the outstanding debt, $84 million represents Huntington borrowing and $25 million is debt incurred by the water districts in the town; that debt is repaid only by district residents. The planned borrowing includes $12.4 million for town projects and $1.5 million for Greenlawn Water District. Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) said he was pleased with the town’s results. “We are gratified that Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have once again affirmed their support of Huntington’s fiscal policies by maintaining the AAA bond rating and either upholding or upgrading their outlook,” he said in a statement. “These ratings will ensure that Huntington continues to save on borrowing costs, benefitting all Town taxpayers.”

Huntington to create water trail along shoreline By Victoria Espinoza Kayakers, canoeists and water enthusiasts in Huntington may be singing a different kind of blues in the near future. The Huntington town board approved a plan at a July meeting to create a blueway trail, that would span from Cold Spring Harbor to Northport Bay, and highlight both historic and cultural areas along the town’s shoreline. According to the National Park Service, a blueway trail is a water path that provides recreational boating opportunities along a river, lake, canal or coastline. The Huntington blueway trail would be geared toward increasing awareness and use of coastal resources, while also encouraging ecotourism. Huntington Stand Up Paddle business owner Katie Buttine said a blueway trail would be an asset to both her business and customers. “That would be awesome,” Buttine said in a phone interview. “Water sports are continuing to grow and people don’t know where they can and can’t go in the area. This would help so people would no longer be frustrated when they get to a beach and realize they can’t load there.” Town board members unanimously approved a resolution to apply for a $76,000 New York State Environmental Protection Fund grant to undertake the project with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk

County, a nonprofit community education agency that works to preserve the county’s heritage, protect ecosystems and provide opportunities for young people. The project, which would begin next year and be completed in 2020, will plan a blueway starting from Cold Spring Harbor, through the Long Island Sound and the Huntington and Northport Bay complex, and ending at the mouth of Fresh Pond in Smithtown Bay. The grant will be used to create a blueway trail map-and-guide smartphone app, and a video tour. The guide app would include a map of

the trail, as well as natural and cultural heritage points of interest. It would allow visitors easier access to trail information, better options in trip planning and increased safety through use of georeferenced maps while on the trail. Trailheads, amenities and downtown assets such as paddle sport establishments would also be identified. It could be used by people on land or water, and would be similar to guides the town has compiled for land-based activities. Currently, Huntington’s website features detailed information on nature trails in the area, complete with addresses, parking fees, hours and animals that may be

seen in the area. The Huntington trail would resemble others on Long Island. Oyster Bay started working on a water path in 2010, with a similar grant and help from a community planning firm that inventoried the best-suited trailheads and amenities that provide access to recreational facilities, commercial establishments, and ecological, historical and cultural resources along the proposed trail, according to Friends of the Bay. A community survey was also conducted to let residents give input on what they thought the trail should look like. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto praised the project in a 2012 statement: “[It created] an exciting and unique way for people to learn about and enjoy this beautiful natural watershed and promote the many attractions in and around the harbor.

Hospital’s new technology gets nurses to patients quicker By Victoria Espinoza Huntington Hospital is breaking new ground in patient care with the Nightingale phone, a communication system that helps put patients in connection with nurses quicker than ever before. The hospital has been piloting the new phone in the oncology wing of the hospital since 2015, and has seen a significant improvement in patient care and a decrease in wait time from when a patient calls for a nurse and when the nurse arrives to give treatment. Patients are raving about the new invention. Mary Ellen Cantone, a patient at the hospital, said the response to her call was immediate. “I hit the button and someone was talking to me instantly,” she said in a statement. She said once at 2 a.m. she called for her nurse for ice chips, and the nurse came in right away with them. “It’s a wonderful thing to use, it saves them time and they just know everything,” Cantone said. “They’re the best nurses here, and God picks the nurses for this floor, the oncology floor.” The phone, created by Marie Roggenkamp, nurse manager at Huntington Hospital, has a red nurse button on the back that, when pressed directly, calls the device the patient’s nurse is wearing so that the patient can talk to his or her nurse immediately without the typical wait time.

‘I hit the button and someone was talking to me instantly.’ — mary ellen cantone

the nightingale phone helps connect patients with their nurses immediately, no matter where the nurse is in the hospital. Stephen Smith, manager of site communications at the hospital, worked with Roggenkamp to create the phone, which is an improvement from the call bell system hospitals use now. “The call bell system requires a nurse to be close enough to hear the call bell or see the light go off outside the patient’s room, and may take longer to get a response,” he said in a statement. “This allows the patient

to connect with the nurse no matter where they are on the unit.” Roggenkamp said she saw success in patient satisfaction scores in the oncology wing after the Nightingale was implemented back in July 2015. She said call bell responses could take anywhere from seven to eight minutes, but with the Nightingale, a nurse could be in the room with medication within two minutes.

One of the most important features of the Nightingale phone is the call forward feature. A concern with having nurses wear a device that can immediately connect them with a patient is the opportunity for increased error if the nurse is already performing a procedure when a call comes from a new patient. “In the event a nurse is hanging chemotherapy [drugs from an IV], she can have a call [from the Nightingale] forwarded to a nursing assistant,” Roggenkamp said. If the assistant is also busy, the call will then go to the nurse manager, and then the call desk. This pilot program is also cost effective; to add a speed-dial button to the hospital phones only costs an extra 50 cents. The nurse manager said Huntington Hospital hopes to have the Nightingale phone installed in every unit by the end of 2016. Nurses at the hospital like the new system as much as management. “It has really improved nursing care and nursing work,” nurse Shanell Blanchard said. “I know what they need before going in there. Before, a call bell could be going off in another room, but it might take me five minutes to answer it. I need to finish with the patient I am with, wash my hands, ask what they need and then go get it.” Blanchard said patients have also enjoyed the fact they have more control in their care. “It’s a great feeling of independence,” she said. “To know if I press that button I can get to my nurse directly.”

Suffolk County marathon looks to expand in second year By Colm Ashe Last year Suffolk County laced up their running shoes and got moving in support of the first ever Suffolk County Marathon: Freedom Fest, an event dedicated to raising money for local veteran services. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and sponsors, including Catholic Health Services, organized the first ever 26.2 mile race last year, which raised more than $160,000. This year, they hope to continue their success at the second annual Freedom Fest on Oct. 30 — but their vision has expanded beyond just aiding local veterans. On July 21, Bellone held a press conference to announce the marathon, half marathon and 5k, that will allow registrants to run for their own charitable causes. Though Bellone’s goal when organizing the event was to raise funds for Suffolk County veterans — a community of over 90,000 — he said he believes there are other causes worthy of a champion. He is welcoming anyone with a cause to join the event and raise money for their philanthropic mission. Bellone does this with the hope that people will “utilize the marathon in a way that will raise funds for other wonderful organizations” in addition to supporting our veterans. Many teams came to the press conference to speak about their cause. Among those who came to represent their cause was Team Liberty, an organiza-

tion dedicated to raising funds and awareness about organ donation. Christian Siems, a 22-year old team member from Greenlawn, could be seen sporting the silver medal he won this summer at the Transplant Games of America — just 14 months after he received his heart transplant. Margaret O’Reilly, another Team Liberty member, could be seen holding a picture of her son, Stephen Valsechi, who passed away but saved the lives of four others by donating his organs. Siems’ mother, Michele Martines, addressed the state of organ donation in Suffolk County and said even though New York accounts for 10 percent of the national waiting list for organs, we rank among the lowest when it comes to registered organ donors. She strives to help NY “come out of last place and go to first place.” Another organization with a team in this year’s marathon is Rolling Thunder, a nonprofit for athletes with special needs. Steve Cuomo spoke for the team and brought up one of their members, Tysheem Griffin, who will be participating in the paralympics in Brazil this year along with one other teammate, Michael Brannigan. Patty’s Pacers, a team raising money for the Patricia Keane DeGeorge Memorial Scholarship, paid tribute to Patricia at the event by telling her story. They said she was an example of how to triumph in the face of adversity, continuing on with her nursing degree even after being diagnosed with leukemia. A fighter to the very end, she died soon after receiv-

Her spirit lives on in Patty’s Pacers. A team representing Mothers Against Drunk Driving also came to represent their cause. Richard Mallow, the NYS executive director for MADD, said his team is hoping to change Suffolk County from leading the state in drunk driving incidents. The Airborne Tri Team joined the event to continue their efforts in serving mentally and physically disabled war veterans. Their team is made up of Iraq and Afghani-

stan war veterans. The teams at the event are not the only ones bringing their personal passions to the race. Thousands of people have signed up to run in this year’s race in October. From people aspiring to meet health goals to teams of veterans running in honor of their fellow troops and veterans, all have stories to tell.

Over the years,

water quality on Long Island has suffered severely from issues such as pollution and overdevelopment.” Congressman Zeldin was joined by local elected officials and environmental groups who backed up his argument and supported his proposals. “I stand with New York’s state and federal elected officials and administrators in condemning this poor excuse of a document in the strongest terms,” said Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine. “Just in the last few years we have started to enjoy the benefits of a cleaner Long Island Sound. I cannot understand why the EPA would or should allow this plan to undo the hard and expensive work that has been done over the last two decades to restore the Long Island Sound. We simply must do better.” Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) agreed. “The Town of Brookhaven is doing so much to keep the Long Island Sound and our other waterways clean, and this disposal site expansion plan is a real threat to our progress,” she said. Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Adrienne Esposito, said the Eastern Long Island Sound is the most biologically diverse portion of the nationally important estuary. “Continuing the use of our Sound as a dump site stymies restoration efforts,” she said. “It prevents the advancement of a longterm program for beneficial reuse of dredged materials.”

Cornell Cooperative said it will be working with the town to collect public opinion, field research and more. Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) introduced the resolution to the town board in July, and said the nonprofit approached him with the idea. “[The organization] came to Huntington with a very strong project proposal, and we are very delighted to be partnering on this endeavor,” he said in an email.

Carolyn Sukowski, resource educator for the nonprofit said Huntington’s blueway path will be enriched with community contribution. “This will provide an opportunity for residents to provide their own input, experiences and recommendations,” she said in a phone interview. She also said Cornell Cooperative plans to hold public meetings and distribute surveys that will help determine stops and points of interest on the blueway trail, and the app as well. Cuthbertson agreed that resident feedback will be an invaluable part of the process. “We anticipate extensive community input,” he said. “Clearly we expect that our parks, beaches, marinas and historic sites will be included, but our list will be compiled with community input.” Sukowski said the path will have stops on the shoreline, suggestions for destinations near the water and a list of town parks.

Your College Future

Location matters for college and internships Your turn

BY RYan DeVito The adage “location, location, location” should be applied beyond the real estate market. Where you choose to learn and intern can have a significant effect on your success. Like it or not, urban environments trump sleepy suburbia every time. I’m not a sociologist, but it’s hard not to notice certain trends in my peer groups. Those who attended college in urban areas seem to have found post-graduate employment more easily. Their networks tend to be large and diverse, too. On the other hand, those who ventured out into the hinterlands for college seem to have had decidedly less luck when it came to immediate post-graduate employment.

TBR

What’s the difference-maker for urban students? It boils down to a few key elements. First, urban environments multiply the network effect. Students attending urban colleges have more opportunity to network with diverse audiences who, in turn, refer those students to their own networks. This is a big deal when it comes to landing an internship or job. Having someone recognize your name — or, better yet, offer a personal recommendation — goes a long way in the hiring process. Second, so-called hybrid professors are more likely to reside and teach in urban areas. These are the professors who have vast experience outside of academia. They are the movers and shakers who, for one reason or another, choose to impart their wisdom on a new generation of students. Third, colleges and companies are connected to their cities. Urban colleges often encourage their students to engage with their city community, whether it be through service or some other outlet. Companies that are invested in the socioeconomic development of their community tend to prefer to hire those who are already a part of that community. Therefore, someone studying at New York University is likely going to have a much easier time landing a position in New York than would someone studying at Indiana University, a cultural world away.

Where you choose to learn and intern can have a significant effect on your success. There’s a reason why New York University spent enormous amounts of money to build housing for students in the village. Prior to the late 1980s, NYU had a reputation as a commuter school in the shadow of Columbia University and Fordham University. Giving students the opportunity to live in the city and become a part of its social fabric quickly changed the university’s reputation in the region. Now, there are always those rising stars who are able to transcend geographic factors. Going to college in the middle of nowhere isn’t a success-killer. Far from it. Some of the

media

most renowned colleges in the world, including Cornell University and Dartmouth College, feature isolated locations. Location matters. As you plot your future, consider how an urban environment could help you take your education and career to the next level. Urban environments are professional accelerators. Still, it’s up to you to make the most of that grand opportunity.

The true meaning of sacrifice Photo by Desirée Keegan

The new trail will move from Port Jefferson Station to Wading River, passing through where old Miller Place railroad tracks used to be.

New trail will benefit, unite and celebrate North Shore Every project has its perks, and in the case of one large North Shore endeavor, the possibilities are endless. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), along with other local officials, recently announced a 2018 completion year for the Port Jefferson Station to Wading River Rails to Trails project — that has been more than 30 years in the making. With the plan, which involves paving a bike path where old railways existed to be used for cyclists, potential is everywhere. While the project will provide a safe space for biking enthusiasts, skateboarders, roller-bladers and even those just looking to take a scenic stroll, there is also a huge chance for economic growth, with the path connecting so many Town of Brookhaven hamlets. Bikers, hikers and anyone in-between could stop at kiosks along the path to grab a bottle of water or an ice cream cone, or groups may stop in any hamlet along their travels to grab dinner or go shopping. The trail could also be a way to connect locals, and tourists too, to local beaches, museums and other landmarks. It’s also just a great opportunity to explore the wonders of the North Shore. The plan helps preserve even more open space while stringing together breathtaking views that tend to get lost in all of the development on Long Island. Further, the trails should serve as inspiration for cars to be left at home occasionally, which can only have a positive impact on the environment around us. This project is attractive on multiple levels and across multiple layers of government. We applaud officials for being able to work together and across party lines to achieve a common goal with so many benefits.

John McCain, Naval Academy graduate and naval aviator, was, at 31 years old, shot down over Hanoi in 1967, captured and brutally tortured for six years by the North Vietnamese. Refusing early release, he endured unbearable physical and psychological pain until all American POWs were released. He was awarded the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star and Prisoner of War Medal. Army Capt. Humayun Saqib Muazzam Khan, born in the United Arab Emirates, immigrated to the United States at age 2. He enlisted in the United States Army and, while serving in Iraq, was killed in the line of duty in 2004 (one of 14 American Muslim soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice), after a vehicle containing an improvised explosive device, which he tried to signal to stop as he ordered soldiers to hit the ground, drove into the gate of his compound in Baghdad. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump avoided military service (he was “not a big fan of Vietnam”) by securing four college deferments and, despite being a baseball, tennis and squash star, received a medical deferment for bone spurs, which he characterized as minor and temporary. In a 1997 interview with Howard Stern, Trump equated his ability to avoid contracting sexually transmitted diseases while “sleeping around” to be his own “personal Vietnam,” stating “I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” He was awarded no

medals for his “bravery” navigating the nightclubs and bedrooms of Manhattan. In recent days, upon receiving Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman’s Purple Heart, Trump once again demonstrated his lack of respect and appreciation of the term sacrifice by stating “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier” than earning one himself. Trump has had a great deal to say about these two American heroes. Of McCain, Trump opined: “He is not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured,” during a family leadership summit in Iowa. Earlier, Trump characterized McCain as a “dummy” due to his class rank upon graduating from the Naval Academy. More recently, the Gold Star parents of Capt. Khan criticized Trump for continually besmirching the character of, and calling for a total ban of, Muslims entering the United States. The parents noted that if Trump’s policies had been in effect, their son would never have been in America (and would never have saved the lives of his fellow soldiers). During the Democratic National Convention Khan’s father, Khizr Kahn, said to Trump, “You have sacrificed nothing and no one,” and questioned whether Trump had “even read the United States Constitution.” While no one questions Trump’s right to defend his past and policies, he overstepped all bounds of decency by attacking these parents, who gave their son in defense of

their country. As to the grieving mother overcome with emotion, Trump ignorantly suggested that because she was a Muslim woman, she was forbidden from speaking. He then stated that the father had “no right” to criticize him (demonstrating Trump has, indeed, not read the Constitution, especially the First Amendment’s freedom of speech provision). Most egregiously, Trump likened his building of a real estate empire and amassing a massive fortune to a parent’s loss of a child in the service of the nation, saying he too had sacrificed. “I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures,” he said. “I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot.” Two men of honor made unimaginable sacrifices for their nation, and Trump made vile and hurtful remarks, which were strongly condemned by the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization: “Election year or not, the VFW will not tolerate anyone berating a Gold Star family member for exercising his or her freedom of speech,” said Brian Duffy, of Louisville, Ky., who was elected July 27 to lead the nation’s oldest and largest major war veterans organization. In demanding an apology, 11 Gold Star families penned a letter about what should be clear to Trump: “Ours is a sacrifice you will never know. Ours is a sacrifice we would never want you to know.”

opinion Big men do cry

A

braham Lincoln did it. So did Jon Stewart, Dave Letterman, Walter Cronkite and Lou Gehrig. On July 4, 1939, as he announced that he considered himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth,” the Yankees’ Gehrig, known as the Iron Horse, reached up to the bridge of his nose and wiped away tears. The list of those who cry in public includes influential men with impressive By Daniel Dunaief pedigrees. Yet it is the exception rather than the rule for men to cry. Recently, I attended a wedding where not only the groom cried as he read his vows, but the father of

D. None of the above

the bride also shed tears when he gave a speech during the reception. The groom was barely a few words into his vows when his voice cracked. The audience waited, willing him to go on and all of them, except my son who was at his first wedding and was studying his image in the mirrored ceiling, appreciated the struggle to speak. The man on the threshold of becoming a husband stopped several times, as he made fun of the tears and the mess he’d become, giving the audience a chance to laugh with him. I have experienced larger moments, both positive and negative, when I felt such a strong flood of emotions that filled my eyes with tears and made it difficult to speak. Clearly, however, it’s not a regular occurrence because my son asked me when, or if, I cried. Part of that, I suppose, comes from my reflexive need to turn off the tears in public. I grew up at a time when boys

and men had to experience something extraordinary — either positively or negatively — to shed public tears. We had examples like the actor Alan Alda, who shed gutwrenching tears in the final episode of “M*A*S*H.” I recall being unable to say more than a few words to my mother when I called her from a pay phone to tell her that she had a granddaughter. Facing the corner of a phone booth, I shed tears of joy, especially when I said my daughter’s name for the first time. My mother must have heard my unsteady voice and asked, in the silence that followed, if I’d like her to come visit us in the hospital. Wiping away tears and nodding, I grunted something like “uh-huh.” Men cry and, for the same physiological and psychological reasons as women, we benefit from that release, giving us an outlet for the literal flood of emotions. At that recent wedding, the father of the bride knew when I spoke to

him at the cocktail hour that he’d struggle to get through his speech. When the time came, he thanked everyone for coming and described the connection he felt with his daughter. He could barely finish a sentence before his lips turned down and the tears fell beneath his glasses. He and his new son-in-law clearly started off this marital connection with something in common: tears at the wedding. I was sure when his first daughter was born that he felt the same way at the beginning of her life, as he contemplated the excitement and terror at the responsibility that came from becoming a father. As he considered the start of her married life he seemed, like Steve Martin in “Father of the Bride,” to have an awareness of these new steps which, some day, may include her coming to terms with a little life wrapped in her arms. His voice broke at the end of his speech when he said his daughter would “always be my girl.”

With more than a little help from our friends

F

riends help make our lives special. They are fun to be with, we like the person we are when we are with them, they share activities with us, they offer an ear when we need to talk over important matters, they cheer us up when we are down, they lend a hand when we need help, they broaden our horizons with their intelligence, knowledge and experience — and, most By Leah S. Dunaief critically, they are there for us in times of crisis. Those are typical answers when we ask people, “What is a friend?” But what if our friend doesn’t like us as much as we like him or her? According to an article in The New York Times and other media, recent research on the subject of

Between you and me

friends would suggest that only about half of our friendships are mutual. Whoa! That means someone you think is a close friend might not feel the same way about you. Now that is a thought to make you feel instantly abandoned. And, according to the Times, through experts interviewed, “the authenticity of one’s relationships has an enormous impact on one’s health and well-being.” Who are our friends? Where do they come from? How many real friends can we have? How do we judge whether they are true friends? And are we a true friend in return? Certainly a true friend is more than someone on Facebook. Alexander Nehamas, a professor of philosophy at Princeton, told The Times that friendship is more like beauty or art, which kindles something deep within us and is “appreciated for its own sake.” It’s a lovely thought. Ronald Sharp, a professor of English at Vassar College, edited a book, “The Norton Book of Friendship,” with his friend, Eudora Welty in 1991. Sharp is quoted in The Times as saying, “The notion of

doing nothing but spending time in each other’s company has, in a way, become a lost art,” to be replaced by volleys of texts and tweets. To have a friendship with someone has several requirements. First is time. It takes time to understand the other person and to trust that person enough to let him or her understand you. So trust is another requirement. Lucky are those who have friends from elementary school or college, for those have withstood the test of time. Additionally those friends are witnesses to our lives as we are to theirs. That is a relationship to be treasured and not replaced, and it may be resumed even after years have gone by with no contact. Honesty is another. You have to be able to respond honestly to a friend, even if it is not what he or she wants to hear, and to receive the same in return. But there is more. A close friend is one with whom you interact almost daily because you would otherwise miss the contact. That person is one whose sentences you could reliably finish because, to some

extent, you live within each other’s heads. That person is someone who, you absolutely know from prior evidence, has your back. And that is a person who knows and accepts your shortcomings even as you accept theirs because you protect each other’s vulnerabilities. I have only experienced that kind of friendship with one or two people because there isn’t enough time really to get to know that many people, however interesting they may seem. Then there are perhaps four or six others with whom I maintain ongoing friendships. These are good friends whom I enjoy common ground with, and feel concern and affection for. These friends provide a support system and a social circle to which we all contribute. Others are more casual friends, dependent on circumstances, and they may move in and out of my world at any given time. Friends and friendships are tested by crises. I have had my share, as have my friends, and we have been there for each other. We will be there again because we are best friends.

Clockwise from above, railroad tracks used to lay behind sylvan avenue Park in Miller Place, which is where the proposed trail will run through; ashley Hunt-Martorano, of Citizens’ Climate Lobby, talks about her excitement for the project; and cyclists would no longer have to share the road with cars once the 10-mile trail is completed.

Rails to Trails project eyes 2018 completion By Desirée Keegan It has been more than 30 years in the making, but by 2018, cyclists in the Town of Brookhaven may finally have a new 10-mile route to ride from Port Jefferson to Wading River. The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization created to preserve land strictly for recreation and transportation, proposed to use old North Shore railroad track locations and pave the way, literally, for a bike path. Marty Buchman, who lives in Stony Brook and opened the new Stony Brookside Bed & Bike Inn, has been a member of Rails to Trails for 20 years and has been cycling for over 40. “It means everything for us cyclists,” Buchman said of the project. “There is no joy like riding on a bicycle trail. The trail will bring economic development, health [benefits], jobs — I can’t understand why it took so long to get this started, but I’m absolutely overjoyed. I can’t wait. I’ll be here the first day.” He has frequently rode along the Greenway Trail, which connects Setauket and Port Jefferson Station, and said that the usage

and the joy people get out of the trail is exciting to see. He added that he knows the new trail, which will connect Port Jefferson Station, Mount Sinai, Miller Place, Sound Beach, Rocky Point, Shoreham and Wading River, will have the same impact. “If you build it, people will come,” he said. “I’ve been cycling since I was 16, and when I ride, I feel like I’m 16 again. I feel like I’m connected to the world around me. I sometimes ride 30 miles to work.” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (DMount Sinai), U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (R-NY), Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) all helped give the proposal life, advocating for the project over the years in an effort to secure funding. According to Zeldin, converting the rails into a bike trail had been discussed in 2001 when North Shore advocate Mike Cosel spoke to then-legislator Martin Healy about the idea, which has long been stalled since then. Though the project’s roots date back much further than that. The previous allocated funding for the project sat for over five years, and was in danger of being cancelled and repurposed, so local officials worked over the past 19 months across party lines to restore the funding so the project could move forward. “Living on Long Island we are blessed with so many natural treasures, including our renowned parks and beaches, many of which are connected through our scenic biking and hiking trails,” Zeldin said. “Long Island’s trails are an important part of our local community

and economy, connecting our residents and visitors to our beaches, parks, local farms, festivals, wineries, restaurants and other destinations, while providing an option of healthy recreational activity and transportation. In addition to improving quality of life and livability, trails help to protect our environment through conservation and by reducing traffic and pollution on our roads.” The $9.51 million project, according to the congressman, will be 80 percent federally funded, with Brookhaven Town covering the remaining 20 percent. “We’re going to take this and make this something that people can enjoy,” Romaine said. “This will be a great addition to what we have to offer for recreation in the Town of Brookhaven.” For experienced cyclists, skateboarders, walkers or even first-time riders, safety was a main concern for all parties involved in approving the — Lee Zeldin trails. “Unfortunately Suffolk has the very dubious honor of having the highest fatality rates of cyclists on the road,” said Robert DeVito, president of the Suffolk Bicycle Riders Association and director of the Nassau-Suffolk Bicycle Coalition. “We constantly go out riding, whether in a group or alone, always concerned [about safety]. With people today utilizing their phones more and more in their car, it’s really become an issue. We need safer areas to ride.” The project will also provide an economic boost, as shops could set up along the trail. Anker said the goal is to create ecotourism where along the trail, community members and visitors can stop at the various hamlets,

whether it be just to buy a bottle of water, to sit and eat dinner or even visit the Tesla Science Center. According to Ashley Hunt-Martorano, director of marketing and events for Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a non-profit organization focused on national policies to address climate change, it will also help create a safer place for cyclists to travel during ozone days, when county or state officials determine it’s not safe for bike riders to be out on their bikes. “The more people get outdoors and engage in their community, the more they’re paying attention to the changes we’re seeing in our planet,” she said. “I have really fallen in love with riding my bike, and I love riding my bike on Long Island. I visit places I’ve never went before in my car. There are certain areas where it’s just gorgeous.” Although there’s still more time to wait and see if the plan will come to fruition, for now, many locals are excited to hear there may be a plan in place. “This project has always had tremendous support from all of the surrounding communities,” said Rocky Point resident Jeff Carlson, who is president of the Rocky Point Civic Association. “We’re really happy that this is finally getting somewhere.”
