Residents gave a thumbs up to school budgets throughout Smithtown and its neighboring districts, including Commack, Hauppauge and Kings Park. Smithtown’s $229.5 million budget passed, 2,582 to 762. School board President Christopher Alcure, who ran unopposed, was re-elected with 2,395 votes, while newcomer Jeremy Thode was elected with 2,144 votes. The board largely assembled together in the district clerk’s office Tuesday night as the results came in before eventually filling the board room around 10 p.m. for the final reading of the numbers. “I am very thankful that the budget passed, it clearly was a fiscally responsible budget that supports our school district and mission,” said Thode, who was not present when the board read the results aloud Tuesday night. “I am also humbled by the overwhelming personal support of the community in my election. I would like to thank everyone for their belief in me and look forward to helping all the students and families in Smithtown.” MaryRose Rafferty lost her bid, garnering 862 votes, but said she looked forward to working with

the board on the other side of the microphone nevertheless. “I’m not going away, I will still be the voice of the people for the people,” she said. A second proposition on the Smithtown ballot, related to capital reserves, passed 2,507 to 715. Community members passed Commack’s $185.1 million budget 1,927 to 575. In Hauppauge, voters passed the district’s proposed $105.4 million budget, 1,458 to 442. Michael Buscarino and Stacey Weisberg were elected to the board with 1,098 and 1,122 votes, respectively. Candidate Susan Hodosky fell short, with 984.

Kings Park voters came out to support the district’s $84.7 million budget as well on Tuesday. The community voted in favor of the budget 2,065 to 577. There was also voting on two propositions, regarding bus purchases and a capital project to replace the high school roof. Both passed, 1,998 to 542 and 2,087 to 455, respectively. Voters ousted Vice President Charlie Leo (1,108 votes) and voted in incumbent Diane Nally (1,821) and newcomer Kevin Johnston (1,886) for the two open seats on the district’s board of education. “The community spoke and I am fine with that,” Leo said.

The district’s budget included a 2 percent tax levy increase while keeping its current curriculum, extra curricular activities and adding a wish list of items that included an additional social worker, new musical instruments and class size reductions. “It was uncomfortable at best because of my long association with Charlie Leo and Diane Nally but it was the right time to run for a seat on the Kings Park Board of Education,” Johnston said. “My goals are to provide the best education for students at Kings Park while being financially responsible to the taxpayers.”

Smithtown supervisor slams highway superintendent By phil corSo

In a short and not very sweet memo, Smithtown’s supervisor called out the superintendent of highways. Pat Vecchio (R) said he felt Glenn Jorgensen should resign from his post amid a slew of accusations surrounding his performance on the job, including an alleged sexual harassment scandal and various felony charges against Jorgensen regarding road paving projects late last year. The letter came after the supervisor learned Jorgensen, 63, had allegedly taken his personal secretary out to a job site. Vecchio’s memo included an attachment from the Suffolk

months now since a notice of claim was filed against the town in December alleging he had sexually harassed his former secretary, AimeeLynn Smith, 27. The claim also alleged Jorgensen had taken her out to job sites, out to eat and eventually fired her after finding out she was dating an employee of the highway department. Jorgensen, of St. James, was also slapped with separate charges accusing him of tampering with public records for a town paving project, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said. Jorgensen pleaded not guilty to the four felony charges and the misdemeanor in April. JORgeNSeN continued on page a2

gensen’s Hope Place residence, under his bed, Spota said. “State department of transportation construction standards dictate asphalt must not be applied to a road surface in freezing temperatures and, in fact, the town’s own engineer has said repaving in freezing weather would result in the asphalt falling apart,” Spota said. “The repaving of a residential street doesn’t happen that often and when it does, residents are paying for a job done correctly, not a faulty repaving that will soon need pothole repair work.” Smithtown Democratic Committee Chairman Ed Maher also called for Jorgensen’s resignation back in April after the charges surfaced, calling the taxpayers funding of his salary an outrage.

The district attorney alleged that Jorgensen directed a highway foreman to alter road construction reports to conceal that he had approved a contractor, Suffolk Asphalt Corp. of Selden, to pave at least eight Smithtown streets in freezing temperatures in November. The altered records misrepresented the weather conditions during the repaving work, Spota said. Jorgensen’s misdemeanor grand larceny charge also accused him of stealing a public work order for the improper repaving and taking the official document home. District attorney detectives found the records in Jor-

Smithtown could borrow cash: Comptroller report By Phil Corso

Smithtown’s new comptroller is calling on the town board to borrow money to fund upcoming capital projects. Donald Musnug, who was sworn in as town comptroller in February after his predecessor, Lou Necroto, took a job with the county, provided his first capital budget recommendations report on Monday and pushed for borrowing money to pay for improvements. He listed several bullet points justifying his recommendation, as the town gears up to fund projects like an animal shelter renovation, LED streetlight retrofittings and marina bulkhead improvements. “Interest rates are at historically low rates and the town is fiscally strong,” Musnug said. “Now is the time to borrow, when rates are low, and thankfully we are in a position to do so.” The comptroller said he expects replacing aging and otherwise deteriorating equipment would reduce the amount of money set aside in future budgets for repairs and maintenance. In reference to an upcoming streetlight project that would bring LED lighting to Smithtown’s streets, Musnug said the town would offset the costs of future projects in the form of savings. “Taking advantage of new technology, such as in the case of LED bulbs

for streetlights and the municipal solid waste facility, will reduce utility costs [and] repair costs and improve safety,” Musnug said in his report. “Because the town’s finances have been conservatively managed over the years, there is little room to cut operating budgets, making the goal of staying within the New York State tax cap increasingly difficult in light of rising compensation, health care and pension costs.” In the upcoming year, Musnug said most of the budgetary requests are equipment-related and should be done in the near future as assets deteriorate due to age and usage. The streetlight project, he said, would total $5.6 million but could be offset by a possible $750,000 grant from the state. “It should also be noted that … we expect to reduce utility costs and repairs by $350,000 as a result of the streetlight LED retrofit, which will offset the cost of borrowing, which is $270,000 per year,” Musnug said. “So we actually more than offset the cost of installation.” The comptroller also said the town should anticipate equipment purchases and construction in 2016, mostly because of the first phase of Smithtown Animal Shelter renovations as well as upgrades at the town marina, which collectively require about $3.1 million in financing.

smithtown Comptroller Donald Musnug outlines his capital budget suggestions Monday.

The following year, he said, those projects would require about $6 million in funding overtime to complete. After the comptroller’s report, Councilman Ed Wehrheim (R) said he was impressed by the thoroughness of Musnug’s pitch and wants to make sure the town follows through on capital projects after setting aside funding for them. “Overall, I think it’s excellent,” he said. “In past years, we borrowed money and put up capital projects, but they

never got done. Let’s make sure someone oversees these.” In his report, Musnug said even if the town chose to borrow more money as recommended, it would still see its overall debt steadily drop because of its conservative fiscal management policies. “You should be commended for putting the town into a position where it can borrow significant sums of money and still have declining debt service payments [for which] it must budget,” he said.

Included among the nearly 100 guests on hand to celebrate the occasion at The Watermill event center in Smithtown were Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chairman Rich Shaffer and Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (DEast Setauket). Bellone promoted his Connect Long Island plan to attract young professionals to the region and enhance Suffolk’s quality of life. “Connect Long Island creates an innovation economy, inspiring young people to stay, raise families and prosper in Suffolk County,” Bellone said. “By adding more mass transit options and vibrant downtowns, I’ll be leading one of

New names for Nesconset’s 9/11 memorial wall By Jenni Culkin

There was not a dry eye in the 9/11 Responders Remembered Park Saturday. The greater North Shore community came together to commemorate the lives of first responders who died from September 11-related illnesses. The Nesconset park, at the intersection of Smithtown Boulevard and Gibbs Pond Road, was dedicated to victims of the horrendous terrorist attack and was crowded with hundreds of residents and families as 100 new names were added to its memorial wall. “They are the reason we get out of bed,” said John Feal, founder of the FealGood Foundation, who acted as the master of ceremonies. “Thank you for allowing us to serve you.” The wall already had more than 500 names, but those who spoke at the somber ceremony did so with the same sort of hurt felt when the attack first occurred in 2001. “Like everyone here today, I pale in comparison to those who are going on the wall,” Martin Aponte, president of the park, said during the ceremony with a voice full of emotion. The service featured various patriotic musical performances and words from elected officials. “We thank you, from the bottom of our hearts,” said Suffolk County Legislator

Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset), “I commit to you that I will always stand watch over this park.” Elected officials from neighboring towns joined the Nesconset community in honoring the lives of the 9/11 responders. “We are truly a country of greatness and heroes,” said Legislator Tom Cilmi (R-Bay Shore). Toward the end of the ceremony, the sons of fallen responders read the names that were going to be etched into the memorial wall. Each name was followed by a solemn bell toll. Shortly after the names were all read, the sun started to show itself above the memorial park. Feal and those who played active roles in leading the ceremony made it very clear during and after the ceremony that they were grateful for the amount of people attending the ceremony despite the rainy weather. “It’s humbling to see this many people come out,” Feal said. “For people to withstand Mother Nature truly showed the American spirit.” Aponte said there are trees among the park’s foliage that are direct descendants of a tree that survived the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11. One of these trees was given to the Hauppauge Fire Department and another was also given to the Nesconset Fire Department as tokens of appreciation for each depart-

ment’s contribution to the park. A memorial ceremony is usually held, and is expected to continue to be held, every May during Memorial Day week and every September during the anniversary of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. The park has plans to eventually recognize and honor the service dogs that have passed away due to 9/11-related illnesses, Aponte said. There are also plans to place signs on the Long Island Expressway that

lead travelers to the park from nearby exits but there are no definite dates at this time. The park’s upkeep and development is dependent upon donations that can be made on the park’s website, which is at respondersremembered.com. The Greater Smithtown Chamber of Commerce is also going to be hosting a golf outing to benefit the park in early August. “We built this park so history does not get distorted,” Aponte said.

PEOPLE Kings Park gymnist has Olympic goals

Katie Finnegan, an 11-year-old competitive gymnast from Kings Park, is now on track to qualify for the 2020 Olympics. She is a national champion and works in the gym 30 hours a week and will be the only gymnast from New York to compete at the Hopes Classic on May 29 to 31. At that meet, she has a chance to qualify for the Secret Classic, and from there the 2020 team begins to take form. Her family has been trying desperately to get attention for her and her online fund site at gofundme.com/finn2020. Since spreading the word about the money-raising efforts, Finnegan has already won the National Championship at the USAG JO Championship in Florida in May. If interested, please share her Gofundme website address or contact her mother Kim at vkfinny@optonline.net.

Smithtown Elementary School third-graders Samantha Giacini and Angelina Savoretti were selected as winners in the Child Abuse Prevention Services Bully Prevention Poster/Poem Contest. As a result, both students’ work will appear in the CAPS 2015-2016 calendar, which is distributed to schools throughout Long Island. Angela authored a beautiful poem, while Samantha illustrated an eye-catching poster. Both entries captured the spirit of the CAPS message: Every child has the right to feel safe in school, at home, online and in the community. CAPS is Long Island’s leading nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of bullying, child abuse and neglect and the only volunteer organization that works directly with children and youth in New York’s Nassau and Suffolk elementary, middle and high schools. The organization combats bullying, cyber-bullying and harassment through educational empowerment, dynamic prevention programs and innovative intervention solutions and services.

Student’s poetry honored by Whitman birthplace Nesaquake Middle School eighth-grader Connor Kirschbaum has won the 2015 Walt Whitman Birthplace Association’s poetry contest for grades 7 and 8. Connor’s poem was selected from a pool of thousands of submissions from seventh- and eighth-graders throughout Long Island. For this year’s contest, entrants were asked to speak the words of one of the four elements of nature: earth, wind, water or fire. Connor has been invited to an awards ceremony later this month where he and his work will be recognized. Photo from Smithtown school district

between GHCYBC, town, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Neptune Sail and Power Squadron, which provides boating education classes and seminars. It’s been a year since either of the bills made any waves. The bills have been referred to committees, according to their latest status updates in the State Assembly and the Library of Congress online databases. The laws were prompted in part by the deaths of three children in Oyster Bay almost three years ago: Victoria Gaines, 7, Harlie Treanor, 11, and David Aureliano, 12, died when the boat they were on capsized on its way back to shore after a July 4 fireworks show. The 34-foot cabin cruiser was carrying 27 people at the time.

Local safe boating advocates don’t want proposed state and federal laws improving safety on the water to lose steam.

If approved, the New York State legislation would require all boaters in the state’s tidewaters to obtain boating certification issued by either the commissioner, the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, phasing in the requirements for various age groups by 2020. It would prohibit individuals under the age of 14 to operate a boating vessel, and would eliminate the use of online classes to obtain boating certification, “due to the ineffective educational requirements of said classes,” according to the legislation. Stephanie Quarles, vice commodore of GHCYBC, said a swift requirement for older boaters to conform to the proposed boating certification standards is key, because many accidents involve older boaters. “Once you’re a boater, there’s so much to it and it can be dangerous if you’re not careful,” she said. “And it can be an awful lot of fun if you’re in a safe environment.” Asked why there’s been no movement on the state bill, Assemblyman Andy Raia (R-East Northport), a co-sponsor, called the situation “frustrating,” and said that Albany can be “a slow process.” Raia added that there’s been some talk within the state’s parks department about the difficulty of enforcing the proposed law, as it would create two separate boating certification requirements — one for tidewater and another for freshwater. He also said the bill doesn’t have a New York State Senate sponsor. “Things don’t necessarily move until there is a Senate sponsor,” he said. However, the bill has not been forgot-

ten, Raia reassured. “It’s not dead,” he said. “It’s something that we are talking about – particularly now that the boating season is upon us. The basic problem is nothing in Albany is moving as fast as things should be, even though it makes perfectly clear sense.” Over on the federal level, U.S. Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) unveiled legislation last year called the Boating Occupancy and Teaching Safety Act. As of May 20, 2014, the law was in a subcommittee. Under the bill, states would be required to spend a share of federal funding it already receives under the recreational boating safety program. Israel’s bill would also require boat manufacturers — as of January 2016 — install a “capacity plate” on boats between 20 and 45 feet in length that list the maximum number of passengers and maximum gross weight it can carry. Federal law already requires this information for boats shorter than 20 feet long, so the bill would expand the regulation. Caitlin Girouard, communications director for Israel, said the House of Representatives speaker never brought the legislation to the floor for a vote in the last Congress, “but the congressman will be reintroducing the legislation and once again pushing for its passage.” According to the Library of Congress’s database, the bill has no co-sponsors. Huntington Safe Boating Week started on Saturday and runs to Friday, May 22. For more information on events go to www.huntingtonsafeboatingweek.com.

Huntington boating safety advocates are calling for new wind in the sails of languishing state and federal measures aimed at making recreational boating safer. Jackie Martin, commodore of the Greater Huntington Council of Yacht & Boating Clubs, said she wants to see some action on two proposed laws, one state and one federal, that would attack the issue of boating safety from multiple fronts, including increasing boating safety education state and nationwide; and mandating that boat manufacturers create and affix plates publicizing the maximum passenger capacities for vessels shorter than 45 feet and greater than 20 feet. “Nothing’s been done on this,” Martin said in a phone interview last Friday. “I can also say I’m disappointed.” The commodore voiced her frustrations just a few days before the launch of the third annual Huntington Safe Boating Week, an event filled with programs highlighting the significance of taking safety precautions and behaving sensibly on the water. The week is a partnership

Kingsmen dethroned in first round of postseason Softball

Longwood . . . . . . . . . 6 Kings Park . . . . . . . . . . 3 By Bill landon

Trailing 6-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs, the No. 6-seeded Kings Park softball team rallied to score two runs to close the gap against visiting No. 11 Longwood, but the Kingsmen’s efforts were not enough, as the team fell 6-3 in the opening round of the Class AA playoffs Monday. Longwood never trailed, scoring the first run in the opening inning. With a runner in scoring position though, Kings Park sophomore pitcher Cassandra Cancemi fanned the batter to retire the side. Kings Park tied the game in the bottom of the second when junior first baseman Gianna Cancemi smacked the ball deep to right field for a stand-up double, driving in senior catcher Ariana Ambrosio, but that was all the team could do until late in the game. Longwood knocked on the door in the top of the fourth, loading the bases with two outs, and if Cassandra Cancemi felt the pressure on the mound, she didn’t show it as she calmly struck out the batter to end the inning.

field and expect to win the game.” Kings Park concluded its season with a 12-6 record in League III play and, despite graduating five seniors, will return eight juniors and two sophomores to the roster next season, with the hope of

avenging the early postseason loss. “In the bottom of the seventh I wasn’t worried about winning as much as playing as hard as we could,” Ambrosio said. “We gave it our best, and left it all out on the field today.”

In the top of the fifth, senior second baseman Cheyenne Giarraputo scooped the ball out of the dirt to get the force at the bag and helped the team capitalize on the only double play of the game, when she threw the ball to first at a waiting Gianna Cancemi, to retire the side. Kings Park sophomore Amanda DeLaura took over on the mound to start the sixth inning, and Longwood scored two runs early to jump out to a 3-1 lead and scored its fourth on a passed ball at home plate. The Lions looked to put the game away and crossed the plate two more times to take a 6-1 advantage into the bottom of the seventh. With their backs against the wall in the bottom of the seventh with two outs, Kings Park junior outfielder Kristen Plant wouldn’t let her team go down quietly and drove in a run with a shot to right center, to pull within four. Kings Park junior third baseman Taryn McGinley’s bat spoke next with a long shot that scored Plant, to close the gap 6-3. “It was tough when we got the two outs in our last at bat, but we were hopeful that we could rally back,” Giarraputo said. “We’ve done it before this season.” With a final smack of the bat, Kings Park hit the ball into shallow right field, where a charging outfielder was able to track it down to end the game, and Kings Park’s season. “We rallied back there late and that’s what we’ve done all season — we’d come back from a deficit and we usually clinched it,” Kings Park head coach Kim McGinley said. “But you can’t have four errors in the

OPINION

We would benefit by keeping our cool on the road.

editoriAL

Take a chill pill With warmer weather comes an urge to leave the house, and we expect, as usual, there will be a lot more cars on the road, so now is a good time to remind our readers not to lose their cool behind the wheel. Whether a driver made a mistake — as we all do from time to time — or not, it can be terrifying for that person when another motorist becomes enraged and takes it out on them. We’ve all experienced tailgating or obnoxious hornhonking, and some of us have been victims of more dire cases of road rage, like prolonged following and actual physical violence or threats. in the less confrontational incidents, frustrated and angry drivers often lash out because it’s easy to hide in the anonymous bubble of a car, when they would not have been so bold to display such anger in person. in the more extreme cases, the mad drivers may have had a screw or two loose to begin with and might have acted out no matter the location or circumstance. We understand that daily stresses factor into this problem, and Long island’s immense traffic congestion doesn’t help the frustration we might already be feeling while in the car. But consider this: the AAA Foundation for traffic Safety reports that aggressive driving is a factor in more than half of all traffic fatalities, according to 2009 data. in those cases, “motorists are concerned with the others’ aggressive driving while many are guilty themselves.” terrible accidents involving mangled cars happen all the time, but they don’t have to happen over things as petty as payback for being cut off or revenge on a slow-moving vehicle. We urge our readers to slow down when they’re seeing red behind the wheel and take some time to think about what the other person’s situation might be before lashing out. Give each other the benefit of the doubt because we are all humans who make mistakes. Let small road infractions go with a deep exhale. rising tempers don’t give us license to rage on the road. And the consequences can be deadly.

Congressman Lee Zeldin

We must avoid war to the editor: Blessed are the peacemakers, says the Bible, but our new Congressman Lee Zeldin is not impressed. in a speech before the house on April 15, Mr. Zeldin gave us his recipe for dealing with the iranians: Beat them to their knees, if it takes one bomb

or many, said the bellicose Mr. Zeldin. No deal is better than a bad deal, say opponents of nuclear negotiations, which of course will lead to confrontation. iran has the capacity to be a formidable foe. i find it hard to believe that the people of the 1st Congressional district, or for that matter of the United States, want

us involved in another futile, obscene, unwinnable war in the Middle east. Beware the unintended consequences of war. it is a lesson we have had taught to us for the past dozen years, and one we should have learned by this time. Stanley M. Blumberg Port Jefferson

‘Getting it’ in today’s crazy, mixed-up world

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

here do we get the “Oh, right, I get it,” moments? We’re so close to ourselves and our lives that those moments are often hard to see. It’s like in the movies, where someone has a close friend: Lo and behold, that friend turns into something much more, once personal introspection is abandoned and it

is realized how important such a friendship is deep down. Beyond the romantic comedies, however, we can turn to dramas, action films or other forms of entertainment for a broader awareness of ourselves and our lives. Let’s say we’re driving on the Long Island Expressway and somebody cuts us off. What do we do? Well, if we’ve got kids in the car, we might grind our teeth, hold on tight to the steering wheel and fight the urge to say things that would look something like “$#$#@%$!!!” in a cartoon. But what did that person make us do? Did we have to hit the brake a bit when we’re on the way to a soccer game? Did she interrupt our train of thought when we were about to cure cancer, come up with a solution for tension in the Middle East, or figure out a way to reduce fossil fuel emissions from the thousands of planes that

soar overhead? Is it possible that she was racing home from work to take care of a kid with a stuffy nose, to hear someone’s first violin concert or congratulate her son for earning his first A in social studies? Yes, most of the time we’re, thankfully, stuck in the world of the small stuff. If we’re fortunate enough, we’re not worried every moment about taking care of basic needs. I know people have told us many times not to sweat the small stuff and they’ve even urged us to understand that it’s all small stuff. The problem is that we’ve become accustomed to a world in which everything is available to us right now and in which we don’t want to wait for anything or anyone. How’s all that extra time working out for us? Are we all enjoying the chance to spend more quality time with each other? We seem to have freed up our time so that we can

disconnect with the people around us, staying plugged in to a virtual world devoid of awkward silences, driven by words that pour out of our fingers instead of our mouths. We don’t have to comb our hair or check our teeth to send someone a funny text with a little premade goofy face. This isn’t a diatribe against electronics. I enjoy the instant gratification of knowing something that comes from ubiquitous Internet access. In movies like “American Beauty,” we see Kevin Spacey “get it” a bit too late. He doesn’t see the wonder of his life, his wife and his daughter until he can’t appreciate or show it. In real life, even people with jobs they dreamt about often get so caught up in what they’re doing that they seem to miss “it.” Of course, when these small, unflattering moments occur for our fame-generated celebrities, eager members of the paparazzi

Are we all enjoying the chance to spend more quality time with each other? capture them “losing it.” It’d be difficult to smell the flowers, become energized and inspired by a child’s question, or pause to appreciate a shifting wind all the time. We wouldn’t get much done and, I suspect, might miss a bill, deadline, meeting or two. But, wouldn’t it be nice if those “Oh, right, I get it,” moments came more often, giving us the ability to appreciate the unseen air we breathe and the world of infinite possibilities that awaits around the corner?

Hear ye: new ferry from NYC to Port Jeff

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

f you could wave a wand and make all the summer weekend traffic on Long Island’s highways disappear, it would be a miracle, right? Well, we should prepare ourselves for a miracle, because one is about to touch down at Port Jefferson. Specifically, it will arrive, starting tomorrow, May 22, and will last through Sunday and every summer weekend thereafter. This miracle to which I refer is a high-speed ferry that will

carry walk-on passengers back and forth from New York City to Port Jefferson three times every Friday, once on Saturday and again three times on Sundays. In so doing, it will, of course, provide an alternate route not only to Port Jefferson but also, thanks to its alliance with the Port Jeff ferry and the Hampton Jitney, to points east and north. Do you hear the announcement, “North Shore, North Fork, Hamptons and the wineries”? What a stimulus this can be for business even as it is a long overdue benefit for passengers. A partnership between Seastreak, the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry and Hampton Jitney is making this new mode of transportation possible. These companies will link the tristate area, even tying into the New Jersey coast. The seasonal weekend service is called Sea Jitney, and it will use the Port Jefferson dock as its hub. Hampton Jitney service will carry passengers to their

preferred destinations elsewhere in Suffolk, and the Port Jeff ferry can take them to Connecticut and Amtrak. “Seastreak has been an innovator in introducing new ferry services from New York City to destinations such as Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket,” said Jim Barker, president of Seastreak, in a press release. I know something about that service because I used it myself as a way to spend a weekend with friends who lived on Martha’s Vineyard. But in order to do that, I had to travel out east at an early hour to catch the boat. Still, I was willing to do that to avoid the legendary traffic jams that come with driving there, and as I bet people will do to visit Long Island. According to Baker, the vessels are equipped with high-backed seating, a full bar and Wi-Fi service. Geoffrey Lynch, president of Hampton Jitney, commented for the press release that this innovative idea from these “three established and

respected area transportation companies ... will give people a relaxing way to enjoy the East End and Port Jefferson.” The ferry will leave Manhattan’s East 35th Street dock and Highlands, N.J., traveling round trip. Margot Garant, Port Jefferson’s mayor, said in the release, “We are extremely pleased to partner with the Sea Jitney to help bring people to Port Jefferson by our harbor. This powerful partnership has an extremely low impact on our infrastructure while introducing visitors to our beautiful, historic village.” Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry general manager, Fred Hall, pronounced the Sea Jitney “a game changer for people who travel between Connecticut and the Hamptons. At two-andone-half hours from Bridgeport to Southampton, it’s shorter than going through NYC and much less stressful.” Here are some of the nittygritty details. One-way fares

The trip takes about two hours from the city to Port Jefferson and an hour, traffic permitting, from Port Jefferson to the Hamptons. For a complete schedule, go to www.seajitney.com. Aside from my patriotic enthusiasm for the new alliance, I have a totally selfish reason to be so pleased with this new turn of events. My children and grandchildren live to the west. Their summer visits may change for them from endurance on the highways to a pre-weekend pleasure as they stand at the rail and watch the bluffs of Long Island’s North Shore slip by. I’d better start stocking the refrigerator now.
