Smithtown schools to start September with new principals By Victoria Espinoza With school less than a month away, new leaders are prepping for the September start date in Smithtown. Smithtown High School East and Nesaquake Middle School both have fresh faces at the helm, as Kevin Simmons and Daniel McCabe have been appointed to principal at their respective schools. Simmons, a St. James resident, is no stranger to the Smithtown school district. He first joined the team in 2003, at Smithtown Middle School, as an assistant principal. “There is something about the warm

feeling, and the nurturing culture [at Smithtown],” Simmons said in a phone interview. “I am excited to continue to serve the district.” The new high school principal has four children in the Smithtown school district, and said he is thrilled they are getting an education in such a successful district. Simmons grew up in Ronkonkoma and received college degrees from Dowling College and Stony Brook University. He also taught history to seventh- and eighth-graders in the Syosset school district before coming to Smithtown. The St. James resident said he is excited to revisit many of the students at the high school that he already has a relationship with from the middle school. “To work with the same families is something I’m extremely exited about,” he said. “To finish the educational journey with the kids is extremely rewarding.” Simmons moved from Smithtown Middle School to Nesaquake Middle School in 2004, and served as assistant principal there until 2008, when he took over as principal. Simmons said he thinks the new middle school principal will excel in the role he previously held. “Dan is intelligent, a strong leader, and has great charisma,” he said. “He will meet the needs of the kids, the teaching staff and the parents there. He is a 21st century educator; he’s up to date on his research of curriculum and technology.” McCabe has been at Smithtown for

relationships I have with the community,” he said in a phone interview. When the high schools were divided, he became an assistant principal at Smithtown High School West for five years, before making the move to Accompsett Middle School. The Smithtown district veteran said he is excited for the new adventure. Although McCabe said he has enjoyed working with various age groups, he thinks his talents are best served in a middle school environment. “At the high school, there are very high stakes, with graduation requirements and SATs,” he said. “Middle school students are quite impressionable, they are going through a formative time period in their lives. I think it’s a blessing to be a positive influence on them during this time period.”

CORNER ANIMAL HOSPITAL Caring for Dogs & Cats

DOROTHY HAYES, VMD • JUDY LOMBARDI-DANIELS, VMD SARAH REED, VMD

All Aspects of Medicine • Surgery • Dentistry The Stony Brookside Bed & Bike Inn is the first of its kind on Long Island.

Long Island’s first bed and bike inn opens in Stony Brook Innkeepers have brought European bicycle culture to Long Island. Marty and Elyse Buchman, who have been bicycling the world together for a decade, opened the Stony Brookside Bed & Bike Inn on June 1, located at 48 Main St., Stony Brook. The couple set out to create a bed and breakfast that would cater to cyclists; providing not only sleeping space and a morning meal, but bike tour itineraries and even bikes, if needed, as well. Two months in, business has been much better than they expected. “We’ve had people just looking for a place to stay — and that’s fine,” the husband said, indicating that not only cyclists have made up their clientele. A wedding party used Brookside for lodging recently. The Buchmans have enjoyed bicycling in Europe because traveling by bicycle is considered normal there. It’s not just recreation; it’s a legitimate form of transportation, even for vacationers. Their inspiration for a new kind of American bed and breakfast came during a 2010 bike tour of Italy. They booked a room in a “bike hotel” in Riccione on the Adriatic Sea. “Each day a guide came and took you for a different ride,” Marty said. “The idea was that you came back to the same place; and didn’t have to worry about navigating [your way] around.” The following week they had a similar experience at Lake Garda in the mountains of northern Italy, this time staying at a “sports hotel.” By vacation’s end, they had all the inspiration needed to start their own business. When they first saw the colonial revival building at 48 Main Street, next to the Stony Brook Grist Mill and across the street from the duck pond, they decided it was perfect. Built in 1941 by renowned architect Richard Haviland Smythe in a beautiful natural setting, it had the added advantage of being within walking distance of restaurants and shops, a museum and historical

landmarks, a pond and nature preserve. It took perseverance, patience and negotiation skills, but they were able to purchase the house in 2014. “This is an up and coming area for people to visit,” Marty said. “We’re always struck by how beautiful it is when we go on bike rides. People think they have to go out to the Hamptons or Sag Harbor. This is an undiscovered area. Just in the past year, [the opening of] the Jazz Loft and the Reboli Center, it seems like a lot of stuff is happening.” The couple has done various kinds of marketing. The most effective, they said, was the simplest. A friend who runs a bike tour company put their business cards in every bike store in Brooklyn and Manhattan. “It’s called a Bed and Bike Inn because it is a Bed & Breakfast, but oriented towards cyclists,” Marty said. “We have mechanical stuff. We have pumps. We have everything you might need for your bike. We have bikes, we have helmets; but most importantly, if you come to me and you say, ‘I want to do 20 miles and I want to see historic things,’ I’ve created a route book to provide just that. People can look through our ride book and decide what fits them.” Elyse pointed out that each ride page gives you distance and elevation data in addition to the general route. “Once a route is chosen, we print out turn-by-turn directions and we also provide a Garmin GPS which mounts on their bike and beeps when they have to make a turn,” Marty said. “I have lots of suggested routes — everything from 12 to 100 miles.” Marty is a high school history teacher and said he would love to lead a local history bike tour. So far, though, no one has asked for that. Elyse noted that most guests have preferred self-guided rides, because then it becomes an adventure. “People tend to like to do that,” she said. The house has three bedrooms, each with a private bath, and is open to guests seasonally. It will close Nov. 1 and reopen to guests on April 1 next year. For more information, call 631-675-0393.

Man arrested for driving boat drunk BY VICTORIA ESPINOZA Police arrested a man for boating while intoxicated on July 30 after he crashed his boat into a buoy in Patchogue Bay. 5th Precinct officers responded to a 911 call at the Dublin Deck bar, located at 325 River Ave. in Patchogue, where witnesses reported that a man left the bar in a 22-foot Sea Ray boat after a dispute and sped away down the Patchogue River at 9:04 p.m. Marine Bureau Police Officers Daniel Smith and Charles Giardella, aboard Marine Kilo, were notified about the fleeing boat and responded to check the area. A 29-foot Response Boat from the U.S. Coast Guard Station at Fire Island also joined the search. While officers were en route, the captain of a passing ferry contacted the Marine Bureau via VHF radio to report that a boat had sped out of Patchogue River and struck buoy #4 in Patchogue Bay. Smith and Giardella located the disabled vessel with the operator, Erik M. Dowgiallo, a Commack resident and two male passen-

Meals on Wheels delivers food and friendship By Wenhao Ma

Every Tuesday, 63-year-old retired teacher Diane Melidosian drives to St. Charles Hospital at 11 a.m. The Stony Brook native pulls up to the back entrance, where she loads six trays containing hot food and six bags of cold meals into her trunk. The staff at the Port Jefferson hospital prepares these meals, which Melidosian delivers to her Three Village Meals on Wheels clients in Port Jefferson, most of whom are in their 80s and 90s. As she places the meals on their tables, she chats with clients to see how they’re doing. Volunteers for the nonprofit make deliveries Monday through Friday. Three Village Meals on Wheels was created 34 years ago by Mary Ada Niatas and Anna Mae Jenkins, who prepared and delivered hot meals to handicapped and elderly parishioners of the Stony Brook Community Church. The two felt a need to create a meal delivery program because none existed in the area at that time. The area was not eligible under existing guidelines for public funds, said Melidosian, who serves as secretary on the organization’s board, but with the help of community leaders and Hun-

Meals on Wheels volunteer Diane Melidosian delivers food to one of her Port Jefferson clients. tington Meals on Wheels, Niatis and Jenkins got the program up and running in office space donated by their church. On Aug. 22, 1983, Three Village Meals on Wheels made its first delivery of 26 meals, via four routes, to 13 clients in the Three Village area. Today, the organization delivers 144 meals, via nine routes, to as many as 72 clients in northern Brookhaven Town, and is growing. Ninety percent of Meals on Wheels’ clients are more than 70 years old and 10 percent are over 90. Most of them live alone

and are unable to shop or prepare their own food. The cost for each client’s daily meals is $6.50 — $45.50 for an entire week. If the organization’s Client Services Committee determines that it’s needed, the fee may be reduced or waived. Prior to accepting a new client, the organization sends a volunteer nurse to collect information and evaluate his or her needs. Special diets recommended by the client’s physician are implemented, and meals are planned and overseen by dieticians at the organization’s

three meal preparation sites: St. Charles Hospital and John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson and Sunrise Senior Living in East Setauket. Melidosian first got involved with the organization about 15 years ago, filling in when a volunteer was not available. After she retired from her position as a reading specialist for the Smithtown schools, Melidosian became a weekly volunteer and has been making meal deliveries once a week for the past nine years. “Being a substitute is nice, but

real relationships form when you have the same route week after week, as I now have,” Melidosian said. That’s what she likes most about her volunteer work. “Delivering the meals is important, but for some clients, a visit from a volunteer is the only outside contact they may have each day,” Melidosian said. “We also assess if there are any specific concerns and pass this information to the office. When necessary, the family is contacted.” One relatively new client is 83 years old, she said. He was always able to shop for himself, but when he was released from the hospital six months ago, on oxygen therapy, he could no longer hop in his car and go and get food. “He, like all my clients, is grateful for this service,” Melidosian said. Another client, Mary Jane Lewis, will be turning 99 in September. “[The meals] are very, very good,” she said, adding that the vegetables are fresh and the meat is tender. One client, who requested anonymity, thinks the organization is a lifesaver. “My daughter said they’re doing God’s work.” If you are, or know someone, who needs this service, please call 631-689-7070 Mnday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Gov. Cuomo: If EPA creates new dumping site, NY will sue By Donna neWMan

State lawmakers have joined forces across the aisle to issue an ultimatum to both the federal government and an environmental agency regarding the dumping of dredged sludge in the Long Island Sound. At a press conference held at Sunken Meadow State Park Aug. 4, New York officeholders from many levels of government presented a united front. Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) warned President Barack Obama (D) and the Environmental Protection Agency that the plan to create a new disposal site poses a “major” threat to the ecologically vital habitat and blocks progress to end openwater dumping in Long Island’s waters. The dredging of Connecticut harbors and rivers, meant to deepen waterways to allow ships clear passage, produces sludge that is being open-dumped in the Long Island Sound, according to Assemblyman Englebright’s (D-Setauket) office. Local environmentalists are also concerned with the practice being used longterm. “We are grateful for the strong support of Governor Cuomo and our local state legislators in opposing this ill-conceived plan and putting the federal government on notice that Long Island Sound is off limits for the dumping of dredge spoils,” George Hoffman of the Setauket Harbor Task Force, a North Shore group that works for clean water in Setauket and Port Jefferson harbors, said in a statement.

Sound. In 2005, the EPA struck an accord with the governors of New York and Connecticut to reduce or limit the disposal of dredged material in the Sound by “examining alternative placement practices,” according to Englebright. On April 27, 2016, the EPA proposed the Ocean Disposal; Designation of a Dredged

Material Disposal Site in the Eastern Region of Long Island Sound, a third dumping location that would continue openwater dumping of dredge waste in eastern Long Island Sound for as long as 30 years. The original two sites were slated to close by Dec. 23, 2016, and according to the EPA that remains the plan.

Englebright previously said the EPA’s initial plan was for the dumping sites to be closed permanently, though the federal organization denied any commitment to do so in a statement. Should the federal agency continue its

Obituary

SBU alumnus, Blue Öyster Cult producer, dead at 72 By SuSan RiSoli Who wouldn’t want more cowbell? Samuel “Sandy” Pearlman — who may or may not have inspired the classic “Saturday Night Live” skit about the song “Don’t Fear the Reaper” — had a fever for living the creative life. The former Setauket resident, Stony Brook University alumnus and celebrated record producer-lyricist-executive died last week in California at 72. His friends remember a man whose imagination raced ahead while urging everyone else to keep up. “He was a philosopher-king,” said Norm Prusslin, an SBU professor who first met him on campus in 1969, when Pearlman was managing a local band he called Soft White Underbelly. In this bunch of guys he met at his father’s pharmacy in Smithtown, Pearlman found musicianship that could turn his stories and poems into records. He loved to write about astrology, architecture, mythical figures and all manner of futuristic things, Prusslin recalled. Blue Öyster Cult recorded “Don’t Fear the Reaper” in 1976. The song, written not by Pearlman, but by the band’s lead guitarist Donald Roeser aka Buck Dharma, was a track on the “Agents of Fortune” album recorded at New York City’s Record Plant. Pearlman co-produced the album. So … was he in fact the record producer parodied by Christopher Walken in the SNL skit? Bassist Joe Bouchard said it’s possible. “Sandy had that look, yeah,” he said,

Sandy Pearlman in 1972. with a chuckle, of the leather jacket and dark glasses worn indoors. More important was Pearlman’s success at pushing artists to go just a bit further. “He usually said he wanted more energy during recording,” Bouchard said. “He was always very happy in the studio — excited

thanks to clean-up efforts. Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan (R-East Northport) agreed that the state has made significant investments to repair decades of damage and that “real progress is being made, which makes the EPA’s recent proposal to expand the number of dredged material sites in the Sound even more difficult to comprehend … I fully support using whatever resources the state has at its disposal to fight the EPA’s plan and protect the long-term health of the Sound, so that it will continue to be an environmental and economic asset for future generations of Long Islanders.” Governor Cuomo commented on the bipartisan nature of the press conference, saying, “I’m so proud to be with so many colleagues, unified on this issue.” Indeed, the gathering included Flanagan, County Executive Steve Bellone (D), Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), and a host of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle. “This particular issue,” said Cuomo, “is probably one of the top priorities in the state and probably THE top priority for Long Island, if you ask me.” He noted the absurdity of the federal government dumping pollutants into a body of water that New Yorkers are dedicated to protecting. Victoria Espinoza and Alex Petroski contributed reporting

to get the band to do their best.” Pearlman worked with other artists, producing the Clash’s breakthrough 1978 release “Give ‘Em Enough Rope.” He also produced The Dictators — a punk band many consider to be a sonic link between the Stooges and the MC5, and bands like

the Ramones and the Sex Pistols — and he managed Black Sabbath. Pearlman lived on and off in a house on Main Street in Setauket, a few doors down from the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library. Prusslin said he had been hired to teach philosophy at SBU, but plans were curtailed by the cerebral hemorrhage Pearlman suffered in December of last year. Longtime friends Robert Duncan, and his wife Roni Hoffman, saw Pearlman often. Duncan said Pearlman was especially proud of “Imaginos,” a project started as a poem and turned into a song circle album. Although Blue Öyster Cult played on it, “Sandy always referred to it as his ‘solo record,’” Duncan said. “I think he would say that was his crowning achievement, when that record came out.” Pearlman was always “the smartest guy in the room,” Bouchard said. “He knew that if you just do a pop song, it’ll be gone in a year. If you do a song with a little more depth to it, it’ll have some staying power.”

plan to allow dumping of dredge spoils in eastern Long Island Sound, New York State will pursue legal action against the EPA, Cuomo said. “Dredging is needed to ensure safe navigation in the sound,” EPA spokesman John Martin said in an email. “The EPA has not made a final decision, but we believe the proposal strikes an appropriate balance between the need for dredging to maintain safe and efficient navigation, and our desired outcome to restore and protect Long Island Sound.” Englebright doesn’t see this latest proposal as a step in the right direction. “The draft DMMP appears to be the same open-water dredge-dumping plan we have seen before,” he said. In his comments at the press conference, Englebright said, “Federal, state and local governments have spent billions of taxpayer dollars to clean up Long Island Sound, and significant progress has been made … continued dredge dumping will make the task of cleaning up the Sound so much more difficult.” He referred to the Sound as a nationally significant estuary that has seen the return of dolphins and humpback whales during the past year,

The true meaning of sacrafice 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 Sta-

tion, 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 (D-Mount

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 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.”
