Kent Animal Shelter discount They may be just babies, but kittens as young as 4 months and puppies as young as 5 months are old enough to get pregnant and have their first litter just two months later. “These precious babies shouldn’t be parents at 5 and 6 months old,” said Pamela Green, executive director of Kent Animal Shelter, which is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. That’s why the Calverton-based shelter, with funding provided by PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare efforts in North America, is introducing the “Precious, Not Parents” campaign. Through the campaign, the Kent Animal Shelter will provide $20 spay and neuter surgeries for puppies and kittens under six months old throughout June. Spaying and neutering is safe and easy for

kittens and puppies as young as eight to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. “Many owners put off the procedure and wait until the puppy or kitten is six to eight months old,” Green said. “But by then, a litter of puppies or kittens can be born.” The special rate is even less than the organization’s normal low-cost price and is available to all residents of Long Island. Pet parents must mention the “Precious, Not Parents” campaign when they call to schedule an appointment. The event is only while appointments last, so visit www.KentAnimalShelter.com or call 631-727-7797 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Youth group buddies up in Rocky Point ‘You never know the huge impact that you’re going to have on these kids.’

By Alex Petroski In a day and age when negative influences for kids are easy to find, positive influences are growing in importance. The North Shore Youth Council celebrated the kids who take part in their Big Buddy/Little Buddy program and the positive influence it has on everyone involved during their annual reception at Majestic Gardens in Rocky Point Tuesday. The cross-age mentoring program matches up high school students with elementary and middle school students to form a bond built on support and guidance. Big buddies volunteer at least one hour per week year round to spend time with their little buddy after undergoing training and taking a pledge to be a positive influence. Every year, big buddies, little buddies, their families and the council’s board of directors and staff get together to celebrate the positive effect the program has. “These big buddies are amazing,” said Samantha Netburn, who has a son and daughter in the program as little buddies. Her daughter is autistic and her son has a learning disability and anxiety, she said. “They make them happy. My daughter looks forward to every week going with her big buddy and my son, it makes him happy that he gets to see his friends and interact more with the kids when he’s with his buddy. Instead of sitting home by themselves, they’re with a nice person who is positive for them.” Janene Gentile has been the executive director of the North Shore Youth Council for almost the entirety of its 35-year existence. She credited the Youth Advisory Board with driving the program. The board is made up of six

They were recognized, along with all of the big buddies, individually, with certificates during a ceremony at Tuesday’s reception. Joe Wilson, 16, is the Youth Advisory Board president. “You never know the huge impact that you’re going to have on these kids,” Wilson

said. “One of the kids in my first year when I was in ninth grade was in seventh grade at the time, so there’s not really too big of a difference there, but he now comes back and he does our open gym nights with us and he volunteers there, so that’s amazing to see — that you could have impacted their lives so much that they wanted to give back themselves.” Sixteen-year-old Dylan Mulea was a little buddy, and is now on the Youth Advisory Board. He said being in both positions has been a positive experience for him. “I met so many new people,” Mulea

said. “It broke me out of my shell too, so it was awesome.” Little buddies gave the program rave reviews as well. “It shows that there is caring in the community,” 12-year-old Alexander Spallone said. “We do crafts and art, we create things and then we usually play games and sometimes we go outside when the weather is nice. We do all fun stuff.” The North Shore Youth Council is funded by Suffolk County and the Town of Brookhaven along with private donations, and serves the Miller Place, Shoreham-Wading River, Rocky Point and Mount Sinai areas, with programs set up within each school district. Laurel Sutton is the president of the council’s board of directors, and her daughter served as a big buddy when she was in high school. “I think it just is a very, very positive thing more now than ever because so many kids are lost as to what they want to do and who they can talk to and have as a safe haven,” Sutton said. Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) and Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) both attended the reception Tuesday and commended the efforts of everyone involved in the program.

Building homes for vets with a little help from friends By Desirée Keegan Suffolk County has a rich stock of heroes, and lawmakers this week were making special moves to say thanks. “Of 62 counties, nobody has more veterans who call their county home than we do right here,” said Thomas Ronayne, director of the Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency. So, with boasting so many veterans should come a big way of thanking those who return from their huge acts of service. And Rocky Point continues to do just that. Mark Baisch, a developer and owner of Landmark Properties in Rocky Point, first met VFW Fischer/Hewins Post 6249 Commander Joe Cognitore at a fundraiser that Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) hosted. Baisch

entirely behind the scenes for what veterans deserve and have earned. He pointed out most specifically the work Cognitore has done. “We are able to be a part of something so important and so incredibly unique here on Long Island,” Ronayne said. “Don’t underestimate Joe Cognitore. I always look to see if his wings are visible under his jacket because he really has become a guardian angel to countless veterans. He’s a presence in the community, on Long Island, as a national advocate — every step he takes is intended to serve veterans of this great nation.” Baisch said that all those involved are just good people doing the right thing, and added he is honored to be involved in the process. “I will keep doing this ... I’m not going to stop,” he said. “I love this program and I have no plan to stop doing it. It’s turned out to be something much more than I ever envisioned when Joe and I started talking about doing this.”

Still married, 40 years after hospital wedding By Alex Petroski What was supposed to be a special day for a Sound Beach resident and her husband-to-be 40 years ago took a sudden turn with little time to spare. Thanks to the efforts of her community hospital, the day became arguably even more memorable. On May 14, 1976, a day before Ray and Joanne Wolter were supposed to be married at Infant Jesus Roman Catholic Church in Port Jefferson, a giant monkey wrench was thrown into their plans. Her father, William P. Strauch Jr., walked into the family’s home and told the bride and her relatives, who were beginning to assemble for the wedding the next day, that he had just been in a car accident a few blocks away, and he had walked home. “He was a tough guy,” Wolter said of her father at a 40th anniversary celebration at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, where members of the Wolter family and hospital administration from then and now gathered to remember that unusual day. After some convincing, Strauch boarded an ambulance to Mather Hospital, where it was found he had a punctured lung and a few broken ribs as a result of the crash. Doctors told him he wouldn’t be able to attend his only daughter’s wedding the following day. The hospital’s staff quickly sprung into action. “I didn’t even have a chance to think beyond ‘oh my goodness,’ and somebody was there at my side offering me assistance and offering me a solution,” Wolter said. Nurses from the emergency room spoke to

TBR

then-Associate Administrator Arthur Santilli, who has since retired but made a surprise appearance at the celebration Tuesday. “When she came to me and talked to me about this, I said, ‘Let’s offer them Mather,’” Santilli said Tuesday. “The wedding was an uncommon thing but anytime our community had a need, we stepped forward.” The wedding took place in a conference room at Mather the next day. A few weddings have occurred at Mather since, but the Wolters’ on May 15, 1976, was the first time the hospital served as a wedding chapel. Nurses prepped Strauch, dressing him in his light blue tuxedo jacket with black pants, white shirt and black bow tie. When it came time for his daughter to be married, Strauch walked her down the aisle, and Joanne Wolter said there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. “The party I hardly remember, but the wedding piece I remember crystal clear and it was thanks to you folks and your compassion and your quick action,” the wife said Tuesday. Ray Wolter said his wife frequently comments on her favorite photo of her and her father from that day, which is displayed in their current home in Farmingville. “Thanks to the leadership in this place, we were able to celebrate a day that could have been very difficult, especially for my wife who remembers that day — of course I do, too — being able to walk down the aisle with her father,” he said. Joanne Wolter recalled the craziness of those 24 hours, and the difficulty of contacting 150 guests to let them know about what

was going on in an era before cell phones. The reception went on as planned at The Wagon Wheel in Port Jefferson Station, which is now The Meadow Club. “Our bond with Mather Hospital is a strong one,” she said in an invitation to Tuesday’s anniversary event. “Every year we remember this day and how Mather went the extra mile for my family.” Santilli downplayed the importance of his quick decision-making and accommodating actions: “We fix what we can,” he said.

Butterfly garden

Photo from Rocky Point school district

Rocky Point Middle School’s eighth-grade science research class, on left, helped to create a butterfly garden in the building’s courtyard for retiring math and science teacher Anne Kalinowski. The class, taught by Jennifer Madigan, learned about the lifecycle of butterflies, their habitats and diets before constructing the garden. Madigan, who was taught chemistry by Kalinowski when she was in 11th grade, was inspired to introduce the project as both a character-building and educational experience. “I thought this would be a beautiful tribute to commemorate the service of an outstanding and dedicated teacher,” Madigan said.

Writing about rainforests As part of a nonfiction writing study, Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School firstgraders in Elizabeth Filippi’s class penned informational stories about rainforest animals. The students first learned about animals

and their habitats, studying the multiple layers of the rainforest and why the spaces are important, and then, using a guide, wrote and illustrated books, including information like the weather and native plants and animals.

Encouraging conservation Miller Place school district’s Andrew Muller Primary School students celebrated Earth Day by creating paper bag art inspired by conservation and nature. Foodtown in Rocky Point, Stop&Shop in Miller Place and King Kullen in Mount Sinai each donated 250 brown paper bags for students to decorate. The children

incorporated Earth Day themes and conservation tips to protect the environment into their designs. The bags were then delivered back to the stores, in addition to student-made Earth Day banners, and placed on display. The activity culminated when the stores distributed the decorated bags to customers.

Rebecca Schotte, Shayna DelVecchio and Inger-Marie O’Toole were honored by Legislator Sarah Anker at the Gold Award event.

The Gold Award is the most prestigious award in Girl Scouting and challenges young woman to change the world. On May 3, Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) honored Shayna DelVecchio, Inger-Marie O’Toole and Rebecca Schotte, who were recognized for earning their Gold Award from Girl Scout Service Unit 669 of Shoreham-Wading River. “They have proven themselves to be leaders in our community,” Anker said, “and excellent role models for their peers.” To earn the Gold Award, Girl Scouts must implement an individual community project that reaches beyond the Girl Scout organization and provides a sustainable, lasting benefit. DelVecchio created wall murals for the nonprofit organization Angela’s House, O’Toole raised guinea hens to help reduce the tick and chigger population on her high school’s running trail, and Schotte built book shelves for the Children’s Developmental Daycare Program in Centereach.

61 names added to 9/11 memorial wall By Phil Corso To the wall, the names were new, but to those at 9/11 Responders Remembered Park, they brought with them years of courage and heroism. All eyes were on the park on Saturday as 61 more names were etched into its wall of heroes, honoring those who paid the ultimate price for their efforts in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The event was packed with first responders, their families, lawmakers and advocates, including advocate and first responder John Feal of Nesconset’s FealGood Foundation and comedian Jon Stewart. “This park was built … to serve the 9/11 community with grace, dignity and humility,” Feal said to the crowd before the new names were read aloud. “I hope this park will help tell the stories of our nation’s greatest resources: its citizens, both uniformed and nonuniformed.” Feal and several members of what they called the 9/11 community have descended upon the Nesconset park every year since it was established in 2009 to add names to the wall of heroes, paying tribute to those who have died on or after that horrific day. Martin Aponte, president of the North Shore park, reminded the crowd that they were not there to mourn, but to reflect, remember and recognize the stories behind the names on the wall behind him. “To maintain this park is the least we can do for those who have served our nation with distinguished honor, courage and sacrifice,” he said. “We are here only to serve a fragile fraternity of heroes who come here to rest and join their brothers and sisters. Their story is told through this park.” Feal, along with Stewart and New York City firefighter Raymond Pfeifer, used the ceremony as a means to celebrate a recent legislative victory they helped accomplish nationwide after years of pushing Congress to renew the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization Act, which supports first responders whose illnesses are linked to their efforts on 9/11. For his tireless advocacy on the subject, Pfeifer was awarded an American flag that had flown over the U.S. Capitol along with a golden firefighter’s axe on a plaque. Pfeifer, who spent eight months on top of the debris pile of the World Trade Center in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, has stage-four cancer and spoke from a wheelchair about the collaborative efforts it took to overcome that day. “Today is a good day. It’s sad, but nobody gets out alive. Anytime you can tell a story about [first responders] that’s a good thing,” he said. With a heavy-hearted expression on his face, Stewart read each of the names that were added to the wall that day in somber tone. The tolling of a bell followed each name. After his remarks, the comedian and former host of “The Daily Show” remarked on his time on the front lines of advocating for first responders’ benefits. He spoke to inspire those in attendance against the fear of terrorism, saying “we win” because of America’s unending resource of courage. “I’m always humbled when I’m in the company of Ray and John, and all the other responders,” he said. “I can never in my life repay the debt that you all gave to not just me, but to the city and to the country. We owe you, and we will continue to owe you forever.”

VALERIE BUZZETTA 1939 - 2015

got an opinion? express it at tbrnewsmedia.com AD#©142154

Val Buzzetta, a long-time resident of Head of the Harbor, NY and Marathon, Fl, passed away December 4, 2015. A resilient, sprited, and extremely intelligent lady whose wit and ability to converse were loved by all, Val had for many years fought her way through a variety of illnesses that would have sidelined most of us. Her resolve and courage were admired by all, but most especially by her close family who truly appreciated the challenges she faced on a daily basis. A long time member of the community, Val believed in partronizing the local businesses and restaurants that make our area special, and her familiar face and friendly smile was a fixture around town. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to laugh and joke with friends and everyone she came into contact with on a daily basis. In recent years, as she became less able to participate in her favorite athletic activities, she developed a love for puzzles, word games, and literature but most especially enjoyed her daily crosswords, most of which would confound the rest of us but that is the kind of lady she was - the more the challenge, the better she enjoyed it! She was able to enjoy some travel especially around the beautiful Eastern seaboard ports in CT, MA, and ME on her boat the Impetuous, which she enjoyed doing, especially with friends or family aboard. She also enjoyed her frequent dinner dates with both family and friends, and kept a busy social

calendar year round. She and her husband of nearly 60 years, Joe Buzzetta, met by chance through friends back in the 50’s and married in 1957 just prior to Joe’s deployment in Europe. The pair were just 18 and 20 years old when they moved from New York to Frankfurt, Germany and settled on the Army base where Joe was stationed. Theirs was a very interesting and amazing marriage in the early years as they travelled around Europe on Joe’s military leave times to various countries while he pursued his auto racing career. They learned to speak German fluently and made many friends across the world in those years, after which they moved back to Long Island and settled in St. James. While Joe got his Automotive business off the ground, Val quickly got their household organized and they started their family with son Joe in 1963. Son James was born in 1966 and daughter Nancy in 1968, and the couple decided to move to Nissequogue where the kids could grow up and attend the Smithtown schools throughout the 70’s and 80’s. In the early 80’s the family built a home in the neighboring village of Head of the Harbor which the extended family still considers home. A fabulous cook and gracious hostess, Val entertained many friends and family members at large and small gatherings over the years. Avid travellers at heart, Val and Joe maintained many of their friendships abroad and often travelled

across the Atlantic with Joe’s racing activities or just for recreation. Val also enjoyed many years of skiing up in Vermont, and warm weather activities in her Florida Keys hometown of Marathon, including boating, snorkelling, and the like. In addition to being an avid skier and boater, Val’s favorite activity was Tennis, which she enjoyed tremendously and she treasured her many leagues and tournaments at the Nissequogue Golf Club where the couple also attended countless social events over the years. Val made many, many friends around Nissequogue and Head of the Harbor during those years, as well as in the Florida Keys community of Marathon in the 90‘s and later, and the family truly appreciated the many well wishes we have received from those friends in the time following her passing. In addition to her beloved immediate family including husband Joe, sons Joseph and James, and daughter Nancy; Val had her 7 Grandchildren James Buzzetta, Dan Buzzetta, Chris Buzzetta, Valerie Staniloff, Jennifer Staniloff, Isabella Buzzetta, and Joey Buzzetta; her 2 brothers, Robert T. DeMarco of Virginia, and Richard DeMarco of California, and her many cousins, nephews, and of course, dear Friends. Anyone wishing to honor Val’s memory with a donation to the Long Island 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk, St. Charles Hospital, or the Little Shelter, would be most appreciated. These were just a few of her favorite causes.

Rocky Point loses in last second of semifinals By Desirée Keegan It came down to the last second, literally, and the Rocky Point girls’ lacrosse team was on the losing end, as the No. 2 Eagles were upset by No. 6 West Babylon, 9-8. “It’s the toughest not just end of the game, but end of the season,” Rocky Point head coach Dan Spallina said. “These girls have been through a lot with me and I feel like they’re daughters to me. I have 23 daughters and this one stings for sure.”

But he said he’s proud of the way his girls battled back time and time again, and made huge strides for the program this season, as it is his first 10-win season since 2010. “It’s a bitter end,” he said. “But I love this team. I love the character, I love the hustle, I love the heart. We’re resilient as anything, we’re athletic as anything, and we’re young. I told them this could do one of two things — it could shut you down or it’s going to motivate you, and I’ll do my damndest to make sure this motivates them. It’s going to speak to the types of kids they are when they bounce back from this. It’s been a great season.”

‘It’s refreshing to see high school kids treating kids with disabilities so well and so nicely.’

The program could return in the fall, and Netburn said she’s already spreading the word and getting more families involved. “It’s nice to see everyone happy,” Camarda said. “It’s a reward you can’t pay for.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor Normalcy lost with new transgender rules in schools I found your article, “Transgender rules in place at schools,” on April 21, very depressing. What has now become of sensibility and logic, along with right and wrong in our society today? The present discussion of sexual engineering in our school bathrooms is beyond imagination. School’s prime function is to educate our youth so that they face their future with certain confidence. Transgender bathrooms do not contribute to education, only confusion.

It is the parents’ responsibility to control their environment, not the school’s. Transgender bathrooms shall violate the privacy of these minors, causing emotional distress and many unwanted problems. It is the parents’ responsibility for their wellbeing. School’s prime function is education, not the changing of social behavior. One more time, it’s the parents. God bless America.

No plan for solar farm in Shoreham

Tom D’Antonio and Councilwoman Jane Bonner meet with surgeon Dr. Joseph Del Pizzo for a checkup at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Donating saves lives Councilwoman Jane Bonner recently went above and beyond the call of duty as a public servant, donating her kidney to a friend she has known for almost 40 years. Her friend had already undergone two organ transplant surgeries and was in desperate need of a new kidney when Bonner stepped up. He is not the only American who has been in desperate need of an organ. Many are not as lucky. The National Kidney Foundation said that more than 3,000 new patients are added to the kidney waiting list every month, and 13 people die every day waiting for a kidney transplant. Bonner is helping to raise awareness for a topic that many people may not be thinking about. With all the advancements medicine makes every year, and with the U.S. having literally double the number of kidneys needed to keep the population alive, it should seem shocking that people still die from kidney failure in this day and age. Of course, donating a kidney is certainly no small feat. Anytime one undergoes surgery there is a risk. But the conversation is important to have, even with yourself. If you have two healthy kidneys, you may be able to help save another person’s life. The Living Kidney Donors Network said that more than 80,000 people are currently on the waiting list, where most people remain for more than five years waiting for a life-saving donation while on dialysis. The waiting list would become exponentially longer if we were to also consider all the other organs people are waiting on, such as hearts, livers and bone marrow. Just bringing this topic more into the spotlight may spare a life. We commend Jane Bonner for having the guts to do something so huge to save another person’s life, and for sharing her story.

In response to Legislator Sarah Anker’s (DMount Sinai) May 19 letter to the editor, titled “Speaking for a brighter future”: I recently read a letter in your paper from Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker where she stated the following: “Now another mega solar farm is being considered on the 700-acre National Grid property in the Shoreham-Wading River area. Three hundred acres of trees may be replaced with thousand of solar panels.” I am curious where Legislator Anker got her information from. No plans for such a project have been submitted to the Town of Brookhaven, nor would they be permitted by the town. The 800 acres that National Grid owns is currently zoned A-10 which allows one house for every 10 acres. Solar farms or solar arrays are not allowed. Furthermore, the area directly around the Shoreham Plant is zoned L4, in which solar arrays will also not be allowed.

Legislator Sarah Anker proposed that a solar farm, like the one seen above at Brookhaven National Laboratory, was coming to Shoreham.

TBR’s 40th anniversary cruise a swimming success Last Thursday evening, 300 of us were treated to an exceptional evening aboard the Port Jefferson Ferry. The event was to celebrate 40 years of creative journalism during which the papers kept us tuned in to events in our growing communities. Every detail was a complete success. The weather, including a masterful sunset, and the perfect organization combined to set a perfect tone for the festivities. The food, catered by

Elegant Eating, along with gracious hospitality were winners. Leah Dunaief welcomed us all and with her family, including her DJ grandson, started everything off to a rollicking evening. We were treated to some doo wop, then glimpses into some of our local history, done in campy drama. It was an evening where one got to see so many old friends, and even meet some new ones. How nice to be in a room where

so many memories were revisited. It was a lovely representation of community-active people and the competent newspaper staff. We feel fortunate to have been a part of such a unique evening and offer great kudos to the folks at Times Beacon Record Newspapers. We also extend special thanks to Fred Hall and the staff of the ferry.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship ... or not

ou’ve got a friend in me. You ain’t never had a friend like me. You want a friend in this town? Get a dog. You’re not my friend anymore. And, perhaps, one of history’s deepest friend cuts, “Et tu, Brute?” Then again, I’m not sure how much Julius Caesar considered Brutus his friend on that fateful day. We’ve all heard about or had unusual, spectacular and By Daniel Dunaief backstabbing friends. These people, who aren’t our relatives but with whom we voluntarily spend time, are in a category of people that distinguishes them from strangers who push past us on the freeway, along the sidewalk or

the line at the cafeteria. And while we’re certainly aware of the dangers of unrequited love from literature and history, are there unrequited friendships? If you believe a recent study out of Tel Aviv University in Israel, the answer is a resounding “yes,” and it happens more often than we might hope. This research found that only half of those other people called their friends returned the favor. That means if you like John and Joe, chances are John might like you, but Joe could be somewhere between indifferent to you or annoyed at the way you tap his arm each time you say something too insignificant to break physical boundaries to share. So, that left me in a quandary. How do I know who I want to be my friends and who wants me to be his or her friend? Maybe, I thought, as my wife and I went out to dinner for the first time with another couple, we would become friends with two people at once. Could this, like that famous line in “Casablanca,” be “the beginning of a

beautiful friendship?” I had no such dramatic hopes, focusing instead on the little stuff: What should I wear, what would we discuss, did we have anything in common — and should I try to order quietly with the waiter while my wife distracted the couple so they didn’t know I was lactose intolerant? A few moments after we sat down, I realized I didn’t have to speed read through the menu looking for items that my children would tolerate. The woman from the other couple did the equivalent of shooting layups, as the rest of us listened. She shared stories about the academic and extracurricular interests of her children. That, I thought as I nodded politely at everything she said, was friendly enough. Gradually we worked into a comfortable rhythm, even venturing into the potentially treacherous area of national politics. When I brought it up, I knew I ran the risk of talking with someone with incredibly strong opinions that conflicted with my own. Within seconds, however, it was clear

that all four of us held similar political views. When the evening ended, the men shook hands and gave social air kisses to the wives. The evening went well; I don’t think I embarrassed myself, my children or my wife. Now, are these people our friends? Not yet, I suppose, but the four of us are, perhaps, friendlier. As we drove to pick up our son, who was at a late-night party with around 100 of his closest friends that would undoubtedly make him irrational and irascible the next day, I recalled the warnings about the dangers of becoming friends with our kids. They don’t need friends. Rather, what they need are authority figures who can tell them what they don’t want to hear, or so the advice goes. But, wait, like a good movie where the solution is right in front of my face, I recalled a friendly tip from long ago: It’s important to be friends with the person you are dating. That, I realized, was excellent advice. It’s much easier to share a life with the one out of two people who reciprocates a friendship.

of choice inside as he and she came aboard. It was like being given a grab bag with surprise contents to be pulled out, one at a time, once the passengers were seated. Included were a small tray of appetizers, a fun salad, a larger box with the main course and sides, and a little bag of scrumptious mouthfuls of desserts. Bars at either end of the boat provided white or red wine — or water — to accompany the meal. All of this played out against a backdrop of quiet dinner music from our talented DJ, who was able to stop and get a bite to eat himself when he was temporarily replaced by the High C’s, a delightful a cappella act. Drawn from Stony Brook University students, the group harmonized beautifully and was widely praised throughout the evening. We also viewed a short video of different staff members at work and a slightly longer film clip previewing seven dramatic episodes we will be releasing in two months about the Setauket-based Culper Spy Ring. The video action came to life, as actors in Revolutionary War costumes seemed to leap from the film and began dueling across the ferry’s main cabin. Unlike the AMC popular cable drama, “Turn,” ours will be authentic and will be ac-

cessible through a QR code — that is, a matrix barcode — on our Three Village map. Wait for it until July. As soon as the formal, albeit brief program was over, we turned the floor loose for dancing. The DJ encouraged guests to rise and “cut the rug,” with his lively music. Some guests drifted outside to the stern or up to the top deck to watch Nature’s spectacular show. While we gladly take credit for the many other logistics of the party that worked, we can only give thanks for the turn the weather did that afternoon. What dawned as a gray and uninspiring day, with a damp chill and the distinct possibility of rain, became sunny and warm. The skies cleared to allow a Hollywoodesque sunset. As the ferry slowly turned around from its “cruise to nowhere” and reentered the harbor, we were honored to have state Assemblyman Steve Englebright and Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. offer some deeply appreciated kind words about our newspapers. Comptroller Kennedy brought a proclamation marking the occasion and Assemblyman Englebright, who has been in public office about as long as we have been publishing and hence knows us well, talked about our track record over the years.

It was a lovely finale to what was for us a memorable evening. Other officials have sent proclamations as well, including Town Clerk Jo-Ann Raia on behalf of Huntington, and members of the government of Brookhaven Town, led by Supervisor Ed Romaine. We will be proud to publish them over the next couple of weeks as space allows. As always, news comes first. I want to offer heartfelt thanks to others who generously contributed to making our party a reality, including our law firm Glynn Mercep and Purcell; John Tsunis, the spark plug behind both the Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook and Gold Coast Bank; and our accountants, Covati &d Jahnsen. Fred Hall, the general manager of the ferry company, is himself celebrating his 40th anniversary with the company and deserves our admiration for his steady hand over those years. And, finally, to you — our readers and advertisers — who have supported us over four decades, and to our dedicated staff, past and present, who make the newspapers and websites trustworthy sources of news week after week, my profound gratitude. Thank you! Hope to see you at our 50th party.

An elegant sunset cruise to mark our 40th anniversary

ack to business as usual now, but last Thursday night, May 19, was magical. As some 300 community members, advertisers and readers know firsthand, we had a 40th anniversary party aboard the P.T. Barnum, one of the ferries of The Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Company. There are three vessels in its fleet that sail between the two shores of the Long Island Sound, and By Leah S. Dunaief the reason we reserved that particular one was its wide center aisle, which we converted into a dance floor after we ate. Speaking of eating, the food was simply delicious, if I do say so myself. Catered by Elegant Eating of Smithtown, owned by Myra Naseem and Neil Schumer, the supper was a choice of Thai chicken, orange salmon, a vegetarian and a vegan meal. Each guest was handed a shopping bag with the entrée
