f(Zaluring... &lolo \?ocalists &linging tloliday &longs, Mich1Zll1Z Miller Place Superintendent Marianne Cartisano and board of education President Johanna Testa look over captial projects for the coming summer.

Miller Place school district plans upcoming capital projects BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Miller Place school district officials are looking to perform some lasting modifications to some of their schools’ infrastructure, as discussed at the Nov. 14 board of education meeting. Summer 2019 will bring new ceiling lighting to the Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School, a new 6,000-gallon fuel oil tank for the high school, replacing the existing 15,000-gallon tank, as well as replacing asbestos-ridden floor tiles existing in several classrooms at the high school. The entire project will cost $500,000, with $400,000 coming from the district’s capital funds, according to officials. Another $100,000 will come from state funds secured by state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson). Rocky Point-based architect Michael Guido, the district’s retained architect, told the Miller Place school board that with the inclusion of gas service lines recently installed in the school it no longer has need of such a large

tank, thus the scale down. Superintendent Marianne Cartisano said the existing floor tiles containing asbestos were installed back when the high school was built, and they exist in several classrooms throughout the building. While she said they don’t pose any harm to students currently, they will be removed during the summer when there are no students in the classrooms. “It’s not a dangerous situation at all, but while we’re doing work in the building we’re going to go in and replace some floor tiles,” she said. The new lighting at Laddie A. Decker will include new ceiling structural support and new, brighter LED lighting. Guido said the bids for all projects will go out from Jan. 3 through 16, and they anticipate awarding the bid Jan. 23. The work for all buildings will be done during the upcoming summer, and district officials said they would work to make sure construction does not impede summer programs.

PJS restaurant serving free holiday dinner BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A restaurant and bar on Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station will be open Thanksgiving Day, but those seeking a burger or beer will have to wait until they reopen Friday. L.I. Pour House, located at 650 Route 112, will for the second consecutive year hold a free Thanksgiving Day meal for those without a place to go for the holidays, from noon to 3 p.m. Last year the event fed about 100 people, according to owner Anthony Pallino, though

he said he expects at least double the crowd this year, and he’s prepared to feed as many as 500. “We have the platform to do it so it’s kind of selfish not to,” Pallino said. “It’s a time for people not only that are homeless, but also that just don’t have families and stuff like that to have a place to go. I’ve never felt that before — I‘ve always had a place to go on the holidays. I’m very lucky.” Pallino said all of the food — turkey, stuffing, pasta, desserts and more — will be made in-house by the restaurant’s chefs.

If locals thought winter was still a few weeks away, they were proven absolutely wrong. A snowstorm hit Long Island and the greater New York area during rush hour Nov. 15, taking both residents and, more importantly, local municipalities by surprise. Areas across the North Shore received from a little more than 3 inches of snow in Ridge up to more than 5 inches in Commack, according to the National Weather Service. Luckily, most of what had accumulated was washed away through the night by subsequent freezing rain. It was likely only a taste of what’s to come. Dan Losquadro (R), the Town of Brookhaven’s superintendent of highways, said just like many residents town officials also believed reports that Long Island would only receive a light, prewinter snow dusting. Originally, the town had only equipped its vehicles with salt-spreading equipment, but later the highway department had to rush out its plow-equipped vehicles as it became evident the storm wouldn’t relent, according to the superintendent. At that point, however, rush hour traffic had already arrived and suffocated town roads. “It certainly would have been easier for us if we had a little bit more of an accurate forecast,” Losquadro said. “As we were beginning our plowing operations, I was still getting reports that it wasn’t going to stick.” Losquadro added that they did not bring in more than their usual hired contractors to plow the roads because it was already too late in the night for them to make any impact. Normally, the town hires up to 500 additional plows from independent contractors when necessary. Residents such as those in the Rocky Point Watch Facebook group reported commuter times of two hours, four hours and even six hours from their places of work to home, depending on the distance. Roads became slick with snow and slush, and on heavily trafficked streets like southbound Nicolls Road cars began to pull off to the side from either sliding out or to avoid doing so. The hilly North Shore roads were especially problematic in the snow. Some cars were forced to the sides going east on North Country Road in East Setauket, and cars had to drive precariously slow going up those steep inclines. Losquadro said by 5 p.m. the highway department already had its fleet of 250 town-owned vehicles and equipment out working the town’s roads, though these efforts were further stymied by falling trees and tree limbs. Kristen D’Andrea, a spokesperson for the highway department, said it received 90 calls throughout the night. The highway superintendent said the past few years have seen more out-of-season snowstorms, particularly in March 2017, when three nor’easters hit in one month. Despite a rough start he said his office is planning for the worst this coming winter season. “We have a very good system in place, a lot of technology that helps us dispatch our equipment,” Losquadro said. “Whatever comes our way we are prepared to deal with it.”

Opinion

Editorial Pausing to give thanks Alex Petroski, managing editor: I am thankful for our proofreaders at TBR News Media, Ernestine Franco and John Broven. Reporters and editors alike far and wide share a common recurring nightmare. They open up the newspaper to read their stories and notice, there in black and white for all to see, a glaring error. Not only is this embarrassing, it could also result in the violation of ethical standards should a source be misrepresented or quoted improperly, or worse still it could lead to lawsuits in the worst of scenarios. I’m one of the lucky ones. I have two dedicated, relentless sets of eyes backing me up at all times, catching mistakes and plugging holes before my work is crystallized in print. Their names don’t show up in bylines, but there are stories that go to print that only reach a point of deserving to see the light of day thanks to their stewardship. The newspapers you pick up every Thursday would be almost unreadable without them, and I am eternally grateful they’re on my team. Rita J. Egan, editor: I have a lot to be grateful for including my family, friends and the best boyfriend I have ever had. However, I can’t leave out my TBR News Media co-workers. I’ve learned something from everyone in this office, but I will be forever grateful to the young editors who I have had the pleasure of working with. They have not only reminded me of journalism rules that I may have forgotten during my time as an e-commerce copywriter, but also somehow patiently managed to teach me how to lay out a newspaper. They have proven you can teach an old dog new tricks, and I thank them. Sara-Megan Walsh, editor: As we begin to count down the days left in 2018, I’m happy to say I’m grateful for the people in my daily life. To my hardworking colleagues, thank you for willingness to pitch in and help ensure we do the best we can in covering local news. To my family, both of blood and of choice, with whom I always enjoy sharing good food with, laughter and possibly a few rounds of karaoke. Perhaps most importantly, I’m grateful for my husband, Mike, who always encourages me to chase my dreams, live life to the fullest and provides his endless love and support — especially at the end of a long day. Kyle Barr, reporter: It’s hard to estimate how much a person means to you until they go missing from your life, not just those who have passed away, but even those people who have simply moved elsewhere. Thanksgiving is an excuse for many things, but at its best it’s an excuse to be with people. I’m thankful for this time of year, perhaps the most necessary excuse we have to be with the ones we love.

Letters to the editor

More thoughts on the late James Nielsen As chair of the Port Jefferson Station to Setauket Friends of the Greenway, I wanted to share some additional community service information about Eagle Scout and Port Jefferson Station resident James Nielsen, who was the subject of an Oct. 18 Port Times Record story entitled “Port Jeff Station teen lost to cancer remembered as selfless, strong.” Our whole community is a better place for all the work James, his Boy Scout troop and family have accom-

plished in our hamlet. We appreciated James selecting the Greenway Trail as the focus for his fundraising and Eagle Scout project. The Greenway Trail entrance in Port Jeff Station was cleaned up of brush, broken trees and garbage by his troop, family and community members, to the point grass is growing where junk once was. James then provided a new bench at the 3-mile marker along with information posts and plantings, giving trail users a

place to sit for a minute along the 3.5mile trail. Our communities in Port Jeff Station, Terryville and Three Village are grateful for this civic-minded improvement James provided for all to use and enjoy. He truly lived the Scout slogan, “Do a good turn daily,” and left his area cleaner and better than he found it. Charlie McAteer Friends of the Greenway Port Jefferson Station

Rocky Point park is lacking a bench The other day, I was in Rocky Point to get my car fixed. I walked over to the park at the intersection of Broadway and Route 25A [known as Veterans Memorial Square]

and found that there are no benches to sit on. What politician’s bright idea was this? How can a parent with young children sit down and supervise them, or a veteran

(myself included) or a senior citizen take a break? This park was not cheap to build. Robert Svoboda Wading River

Kudos for a great village event Dear Bob Hodum, A tremendous thank you for bringing to Port Jefferson a most amazing event. The first Haunted Mansion at the Village Center was a rousing success. Your inspiration, organization, endless enthusiasm and wild imagination brought together a unique evening. You gave birth to this idea last year and in the last few months got the Incorporated Village of Port Jefferson and the Conservancy to be on board, not only in helping, but taking the part of delightful characters. Frankenstein, Graveyard Lady in White, Screaming Mimi in total disguise, Village Fortune Teller, Mad Scientist and the rest delighted both par-

ents and children alike. Everyone attending got into the spirit and the giggles, shrieks and laughter were a genuine delight. The huge amount of work and your ability to warmly galvanize the group into enthusiasm and support, made this event a great village happening. Your far-reaching magic spread to the university, and with Jason’s help you got about 20 Stony Brook University students to participate. No detail went unattended. You arranged all the details to transport the students to and from the university and sealed the deal. With their candles, they made excellent tour guides. So many comments came from an

adoring community, like, “Is she the professional fortune teller from Port Jefferson?”; “Can I be part of it next year?” As to details, nothing was spared. Frankenstein even had bolts. Graveyard magic with Maggie’s great imaginative props scared even some of the adults. Giant spiders elicited shrieks from many children, and a mystery monster did the same as she emerged from behind a black curtain. Your inclusive personality made all the helpers excited about being a part of it. Hats off to you for the most amazing event. Nomi Solo Port Jefferson

Responding to call to oppose Trump In the Nov. 8 issue of The Port Times Record, Gus Franza of East Setauket concludes his indictment of President Donald Trump by the fol-

lowing call to arms: “It is incumbent upon us liberals to expose him day in, day out. And stop him from speaking out.”

Mr. Franza’s last sentence is the real expose. Donard Pranzo Port Jefferson

Happy Thanksgiving

Opinion

Thankful for many loves this Thanksgiving

I

may be conflating two holidays, but this year, I’m thankful for love. Yes, I recognize that Valentine’s Day is a few months away. I’m not just talking about romantic love between two people who laugh, plan and enjoy building a life together while dealing with the inevitable chaos and curveballs. No, I’m talking about the kind of love that makes a cold, wet day manageable. We D. None recently added of the above a puppy to our BY DANIEL DUNAIEF home. We brought this new furry creature into our lives because we were moving and it seemed liked a way to add something to

our house that would be ours in a new setting. It also seemed to be a way to enhance our ability to socialize with our neighbors. Who, after all, can resist a cute puppy bounding down the street? Well, as it turns out, almost everyone, particularly on unexpectedly cooler days in a city that was supposed to be much warmer. Sure, people wave through their gloves and smile behind the wheel, but no one has stopped to ask if he or she can pet the little fella. No one has asked his age, his name or where we got him. But, hey, this isn’t about love for our neighbors, although I suspect over time we may come to love the distance we have from everyone or, on the bright side, a friendship that may seem inevitable after we meet other people eager to connect with those living nearby. No, this is about that moment when I open the door to the puppy’s room and he greets me with a tail moving so quickly that it could generate enough electricity to power the house for the day.

As we and our kids get older, the excitement at greeting each other after absences, even for a few hours or a day, left the arena of unbridled joy. Sure, we’re delighted to see each other, but the squeal with delight moments have morphed into understated greetings and subtle head nods that don’t displace carefully coiffed hair. We can also love the moments our senses pick up a familiar signal. That could be the scent of a pumpkin pie wafting across the living room, sending us back to our childhood when we visited with extended family that has long ago moved away. It could be the sound of our children practicing an instrument with such dexterity that the end of the composition brings both pride and sadness as the intricate sound has given way to silence. It could also be an appreciation for a warm, crackling fire late on a cold day as the winter sunset turns the light outside a deep orange, contrasting with the yellow hue near the sizzling logs. This is also the incredible season of anticipation,

as we love the prospect of seeing people we haven’t seen in person in weeks, months or years. We can love the expectation of seeing their faces, sharing stories, taking long walks on quiet roads or windy beaches, as we tell tales about everything from the miraculous to the mundane in intersecting lives interrupted by time and distance. As well, we can love the gift of time with each other, on our own or without particular commitment. Then again, we can love a positive result at work, if we’ve sold the unsellable property, finally checked something off a to-do list that seemed to be festering forever, or found some unexpected result in a lab that may one day lead to a treatment for an insidious or life-depriving disease. We are a thinking species, which ruminates over the past, contemplates the present and ponders the future. We are also blessed with the power of love, as Huey Lewis and the News sang in 1985. It’s still a powerful thing, even 33 years later.

An Important Message About Recycling Changes in the Town of Brookhaven

Recently the recycling industry, including the Town of Brookhaven, has experienced elevated levels of contamination within residentially collected recyclables. The increased quantities of contamination occurred at a time when the requirements for “clean recycling” have become stricter due to new policies in the marketplace. As a result of these market changes, the Town, after much consideration, has decided to return to dual-stream recycling effective November 28, 2018. Brookhaven has been leading by example in protecting and preserving the quality of our environment. By recycling properly, we can hold the line on taxes for refuse collection and disposal, and conserve natural resources. For more information and to obtain a complete list of recyclable materials and requirements for bundling and disposing of yard waste, please visit our website at www.brookhavenny.gov/recycle. While visiting our website, please be sure to sign up for alerts to receive important news from the Department of Recycling and Sustainable Materials Management.
