Water quality improvements are being made to Mount Sinai Harbor. Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) have announced the completion of milling and paving — in addition to installation of two new bioretention areas and a swale — along Shore Road and seven surrounding roadways in Mount Sinai. “By re-paving Shore Road and installing new bioretention areas, we’ve taken a big step toward making our streets safer and improving the water quality of Mount Sinai Harbor and the Long Island Sound,” Bonner said. “ I thank … Superintendent Losquadro and the men and women of the Highway Department for getting this project done in my district and for all they do throughout the town.” Designed to mitigate stormwater runoff

into Mount Sinai Harbor, the Shore Road project was made possible, in part, by a $550,000 New York State Department of Transportation multimodal grant secured by New York State Senator Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson). The Brookhaven Highway Department contributed $900,000 for the paving of Shore Road, along with portions of Mount Sinai-Coram Road, Old Post Road, Rocky Hill Road and several residential cul-de-sacs. “With the help of Senator LaValle and the NYSDOT grant, we were able to comprehensively complete this,” Losquadro said. “The addition of the new bioretention areas will successfully capture and treat runoff before it enters the harbor.” LaValle said he was happy to lend a helping hand. “I enjoy working together with our local officials to get projects such as this completed successfully for our community,” he said. “The investment we made on Shore Road results in greater safety for the public.”

Controversy created over county purchase of rock By Erin DuEñas The massive boulder that sits in front of the boarded-up house at 30 Sams Path in Rocky Point looms large in the childhood memories of Annie Donnelly, who grew up there. When she was 8 years old, the rock was the place to be in the neighborhood — the place local kids would gather for use as a clubhouse or a fort or even just to climb. Years later, teens would find the rock made a great place for a first kiss or a first swig of beer. “It was the focal point for so many of us,” said Donnelly, who is now retired and living in Florida. “It was the go-to place for many of our first times in those days.” The rock, which measures 50 feet long and 35 feet high, was even the site for Donnelly’s wedding reception in 1971. “There was a dance floor built by my dad behind the rock and we decorated it with flowers from around town,” she said. “It was an enchanted wedding.”

With her fond memories, it comes as no surprise that Donnelly supports efforts spearheaded by Suffolk County legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) to acquire the property and turn it into a “pocket park.” Donnelly recalled that her father never minded when kids played on the rock, even though it sat on his front lawn. “Any kid could use it,” she said. “We knew it belonged to the town and everyone in it.” According to Anker, efforts to acquire the property where the rock sits began after campaigning in the area last year and listening to neighbors who weren’t concerned with the rock, but more with the dilapidated, empty house behind it. “Neighbors asked about doing something with the zombie home,” Anker said. “Revitalizing the property was the main objective of the initiative.” Anker pointed out that she never submitted legislation for the county to purchase the property with tax dollars like it’s been reported — stressing that public funds would not be used to purchase it. She said she is in talks with several not-for-profit organizations including the Nature Conservancy and the Peconic Land Trust, which may have an interest in helping to purchase the property for public use. The house was purchased, though, last year, for $107,000, and the current owner has signaled that he could be willing to sell. While some like Legislator Rob Trotta (RFort Salonga) say it’s “preposterous” and “embarrassing” to buy a rock, community members and historical leaders view the piece of property differently.

The large boulder that is stirring up problems, on left, sits in front of a zombie home, above, on sams Path in rocky Point. “Rocky Point is very proud of this rock,” said Rocky Point Historical Society President Natalie Aurucci Stiefel. “It’s a natural wonder and the town takes pride in it.” She said that the rock is likely how Rocky Point got its name. Local legend contends that it was once a spot frequented by Native Americans in the area, lending it its nickname, Indian Rock. Stiefel said that like many of the rocks on the North Shore, the boulder was deposited from glaciers thousands of years ago. Anker said that there are many benefits to revitalizing the spot, which as it stands now, depreciates the value of the entire community. She noted the historical and natural value of the rock, as well as value of remediating the blighted area. “There’s also the educational value,” she said. “I imagine a child looking at that boulder

from thousands of years ago in awe.” Dot Farrell, of Sound Beach, said she passes the rock frequently and considers herself sensitive to the historical significance it plays in the town. But she has reservations about what the acquisition of the property could mean for the town. “Pocket parks become drug hangouts,” she said. “We don’t need another one.” She also questioned where the money would come from to maintain the property, even if the initial purchase was made without tax dollars. “It’s going to need ongoing upkeep and there are so many other things to spend money on,” she said. “I prefer my town didn’t take on anymore obligations that they don’t need. I want my town to be as fiscally savvy as I try to be.”

Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe’s Board of directors President Jane Alcorn with the center’s new national historic physics site recognition plaque.

Science center named national a historic site By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Tesla Science Center At Wardenclyffe, a lab of the former inventor Nikola Tesla, is the only one left of its kind, so its no surprise it’s historic. To recognize this, a large crowd of local dignitaries and community members gathered in Shoreham Dec. 11 to witness the site be designated a national historic physics site by the American Physical Society. Back in 2013, a local not-for-profit, known then as Friends of Science East Inc. raised over $1 million to purchase the property — the last standing laboratory Nikola Tesla conducted research in — when it was on the brink of being forgotten, with the hopes of preserving its history. The site has since turned into a hub for science education, inspiring the Tesla’s of tomorrow. And while there’s still plenty of work to be done before the Science and Technology Center and Museum opens, the APS’ plaque presentation ceremony proved appreciation for Tesla is alive and well — due in large part to the determination of those in Shoreham to keep the legacy of the Serbian-born scientist and inventor of alternating current electricity and neon lighting energized. Members of the APS, the largest professional committee of physics in the U.S. that has deemed just 40 sites worthy of designation since 2004, presented the black stone plaque to Board of Directors President Jane Alcorn and Director Marc Alessi because of the site’s commitment to raising awareness

of Tesla and physics on Long Island and across the world. Paul Halpern, a chair member with the society, said the site is of great value and interest in terms of history and science. “There’s a lot of [renewed] interest in Tesla now, and we’re hoping this will help spur on the Tesla Science Center project to build a museum here,” Halpern said. Speakers took to the podium in front of the historic brick building where Tesla built his laboratory in 1901 with the help of renowned architect Stanford White. Unfortunately, his funders had given up on the project a few years later, and a tower he was using to send wireless power across the world was demolished in 1917, leaving his grand vision to go unexplored. But, as the plaque reads in gold lettering, “while long-distance wireless power transmission remains a dream, worldwide wireless communication was achieved within a century.” who has been — Jane Alcorn an Alcorn, especially instrumental force in saving the site, said she and the rest of the volunteers at the center are humbled to be listed among the other notable institutions and people who’ve received the prestigious recognition in the past. “We work to educate the public about Tesla and his work,” Alcorn said. “We also work to educate the public about the importance of science education for children … so, when we set out to create this place, we wanted to have a place where children could build upon their science education, enhance what they learn in school, and

The plane crashed into the Long island Sound just off Shoreham following engine trouble.

Plane crashes in Shoreham By DeSirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com When the Rocky Point Fire Department responded to the scene of a plane crash in the Long Island Sound off Shoreham, two men were seen gripping to a rock for dear life. Suffolk County police responded to a call at 1:20 p.m. Dec. 11 detailing the crash and how the two men on board climbed onto a rock while waiting for help to arrive. Police officers in Marine Bureau Delta, assisted by personnel from Rocky Point Fire Department, pulled pilot Inderpal Chhabra, 48, of Woodbury, and his passenger David Tobachnik, 59, of Coram, from the water. The two were transported to Stony Brook

University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, being treated for exposure to the harsh, cold winds and water. Police, fire departments, ambulance personnel and Coast Guard responded to the scene. The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement Sunday that the plane, a Beech BE36 single-engine aircraft, took off from MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma, bound for the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, Mass. After experiencing engine trouble, it crashed about a mile and half west of Shoreham, FAA spokesman Jim Peters said in an email. The plane began sinking upon striking the water, and by the time the fire department arrived, just the tail was left floating.

A Port Jefferson Station man is being treated for serious injuries at Stony Brook University Hospital after a crash with a driver who was under the influence of drugs Thursday night, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. Police arrested a Deer Park man after the incident in Mount Sinai Dec. 8 at about 11:15 p.m. John Barbera, 18, of Port Jefferson Station was operating a 2005 Hyundai eastbound on Route 25A when he attempted to turn left onto Echo Avenue and was struck by a 2006 Chrysler, headed westbound, operated by Erik Westerlund, 33, of Deer Park. Barbera was transported to SBU Hospital for treatment of serious injuries. Barbera’s passenger, Kuishon Glover, 18, of Sound Beach, was transported to SBU Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Westerlund was arrested and charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. He was treated for minor injuries. Attorney information for Westerlund was not immediately available.

Incidents and arrests Dec. 7 – Dec. 11 An 18-year-old man from Port Jefferson Station intentionally stabbed someone in the leg and back at about 5 p.m. Dec. 7 on Sagamore Hills Drive in Port Jefferson Station, according to police. He was arrested about two hours later at a home on Pine Street in Port Jefferson Station and charged with assault.

Root canal

On Canal Road in Mount Sinai at about 1 p.m. Dec. 10, a 49-year-old man from Coram was driving a 2003 Chevrolet when he was pulled over for a traffic stop, police said. They discovered he was driving with a suspended license. He was arrested and charged with second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

Free child safety seat check Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) has announced a free child safety seat check on Dec. 16, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Setauket Fire Department, 394 Nicolls Road in East Setauket. Certified technicians from the Brookhaven Highway Department and representatives from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office will be on hand to inspect car seats and make sure children are riding in the right car seats for their age and size as they grow.

“Every 33 seconds, one child under 13 is involved in a crash,” Losquadro said. “Fifty-nine percent of car seats are installed incorrectly. My staff and I are happy to provide this free car seat inspection to teach parents and caregivers how to identify the right car seat for a child’s age and size, and how to correctly install and use their seats.” Inspections are by appointment only. Call 631-363-3770 to reserve your spot.

Both vehicles have been impounded for safety checks and the investigation is ongoing. Detectives are asking anyone with information about this crash to call the Sixth Squad at 631-854-8652.

the thomas cutinella memorial wall, above, was made possible by Boy scout ryan Ledda, right, who generated the idea for his eagle scout project. the memorial rests on the side of the new thomas cutinella memorial Field, bottom right, and was created with the help of a go Fund me page, where pavers, below right, were purchased and engraved. Below left, a closer look at the life-size bust of thomas.

Boy Scout completes Thomas Cutinella memorial wall By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tBrnewspapers.com It was a huge undertaking, and there may have been some doubt, but Shoreham Boy Scout Ryan Ledda was able to complete his Thomas Cutinella memorial wall. Ledda, a junior wide receiver on the Shoreham-Wading River football team, decided to dedicate his Eagle Scout project in memory of Cutinella, who died following a head-on collision on the football field in 2014. His plan was to build a wall with pavers that would be purchased by members of the community, with the option of them being engraved, and a bronze statue of a football or helmet. What Ledda ended up getting from the project was even greater. “I was able to do everything I hoped to do and more,” he said. “It started out as a helmet and football, then just a chest-up bust of Tom, and now it’s a waist-up lifesize bust of Tom.”

His father Rich, who is also one of his troop leaders, liked the original idea, but had some reservations. “I thought it was a big undertaking, but I also thought it was a great tribute to a member of the community,” he said. “I had some doubts at first, and Ryan assured me along the way, telling me ‘Dad, I got this.’ And he did.” What made the project that much more special, was the community’s support. “It was heartwarming,” Ledda said of seeing the hamlets, Shoreham and Wading River, and even surrounding communities, continue to rally together to support Tom. “I realized how close our community is. It feels amazing knowing that our community came together to do such a wonderful thing. And it makes me feel really good about myself.” Ledda had some help along the way. Ed Walker, owner of and sculptor at Carolina Bronze Sculpture Inc. in North Carolina, remembers his first interaction with the junior. “The call was from a Boy Scout telling me about an Eagle Scout project, and I had never heard of an Eagle project like the one he proposed,’ Walker said. “I gave him a cost, and there was a gasp before he told me he’d get to work on it. I didn’t think I was going to hear from him again.” But five months later, he did. “The young boy said ‘Well, Mr. Walker, I have the money, but here’s my dad, because I’m too young to sign a contract,” Walker said, laughing. “I was surprised to say the least, and feel honored we were chosen to complete the project. I was very touched by Tom’s story.” Walker went online to read articles and study photos of Tom. He was in contact with Tom’s parents, and worked to produce the best, most accurate depiction of Tom that he could. “Any time I work on a portrait, I like to find out all that I can about the person,” he said. “In our consumerous age, when everything gets thrown away, this is something that lasts forever. This has a lot of meaning and will for a long time. It’s a very satisfying thing to do this line of work.”

For football teams to come, the $38,000 wall and bust, which rests on the side of the new Thomas Cutinella Memorial Field, will be a place teammates will pass before touching a monument rock, as the guys take the field. Funds were raised through a Go Fund Me page, and Ledda also enlisted donations from Emerald Landscaping. It took three years to raise the money, but just a few days to construct the project. “It adds to the field, and it shows future football teams how close we are,” Ledda said. “I think it sets a precedent for our football program. Now it’s a place they could go to remember Tom and think about all of the good things he did in his life.” For Kevin Cutinella, Thomas’ younger

brother, who is a senior and quarterback of the Wildcats football team and midfielder on the lacrosse team, the piece has an even greater meaning. “I think the final product is gorgeous,” Cutinella said. “I never expected it to be as big as it later came out to be, and [Ledda] did an outstanding job and is an amazing person. Seeing the community, once again, support Tom’s legacy, memory and life — it means everything to me and my family. We are very grateful for everything the community has done and continues to do. I am grateful, honored and humbled that this monument was built. I feel happy because Tom deserved to be noticed and respected every day.”

Historic site Unveiling Continued from page A5 have an opportunity to explore and develop a curiosity of how the world works.” In the future, the 16-acre campus plans to include a children’s playground, an entrepreneurial lab, an exhibit space and a gathering space for community events and programs. Alessi said he and the center raised upwards of $1.37 million in 2012 in collaboration with internet cartoonist Matt Inman through an internet fundraising campaign that had the support of more than 33,000 people in 108 countries. They obtained the property from the Agfa Corporation officially in May 2013. “For quite some time, [Tesla] was almost forgotten,” Alessi said. “If it wasn’t for the work of many of the people here in this community and across the country ,we would have lost this location, historic lab and beautiful building behind us. With all of that hard work, we’ve been able to secure the property and pay testament to the history of this property and Tesla’s legacy here by establishing the museum and science center.” Alessi said the site belongs to the public, and the center wants to open as soon as possible and will continue to fundraise. Just that day, he said, he was informed that somebody who attended the ceremony and wished to remain anonymous had donated $5,000. He said the center hopes to have two buildings up by early 2018 and intends to eventually have something to the scale of the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey or the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.

By KEvIn REddInG kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Long Island PSE&G employee Meredith Lewis wanted to help clean up the grounds of Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe in Shoreham, so she organized volunteer efforts to do just that. The cleanup was part of PSE&G’s Community Partnership Program, which provides sponsorship to any employees passionate about contributing to their communities. As a Shoreham resident, Lewis said she wanted to help make Wardenclyffe — which has become something of an eyesore the past few decades — a place the community can go to and be proud of, especially the area that will become the center’s welcome site.

Staff in the Shoreham-Wading River school district participated in a hemorrhage control lecture with hands-on learning.

Shoreham-Wading River staff learns some life-saving skills During Shoreham-Wading River school district’s Superintendent’s Conference Day, staff members participated in a hands-on safety training session with members of Stony Brook University. Coordinated by the university’s Trauma Center, Bleeding Control for Schools training addressed life-threatening hemorrhaging control and prevention. The workshop included a 90-minute lecture where Stony Brook staff members spoke about different emergency scenarios

and the proper reactions. The goal, they said, was to teach non-first-responders concrete skills that they can use in the event of an emergency. Following the lecture, participants tested the new skills they learned through hands-on simulations. During this session, staff members were taught by Stony Brook emergency responders and trauma nurses how to treat puncture wounds, control hemorrhaging, apply tourniquets and clear airway passages.

Researching local waters Rocky Point High School students in Eric Matwey’s Science Research class recently applied what they are learning in the classroom to the real world by partaking in a hands-on research at Sunken Meadow State Park. To prepare for the visit to Kings Park, the students met with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation representatives Cassandra Bauer and Victoria O’Neill to discuss the environmental testing procedures they would follow. During the trip, the students conducted a variety of water quality tests to sample specific sites for plant and animal life. The classmates were able to search for organisms, including Asian shore crabs,

and took readings of water temperature, turbidity, salinity, pH levels, nitrogen levels and dissolved oxygen. Students recorded information about the data they collected for further analysis in the classroom. The visit was part of a program sponsored by the Long Island Sound Study, which seeks to collect valuable data about the Long Island Sound at various locations. The students’ work will provide valuable data about Sunken Meadow State Park, allowing researchers to identify and describe how ecosystems change and how they can be impacted by weather events such as Hurricane Sandy, while also teaching the kids to use the lessons learned in the classroom.

Stony Brook professor from Mount Sinai is distinguished Professor Manuel London, dean of the College of Business at Stony Brook University, has been appointed to the rank of distinguished professor, approved by the State University of New York board of trustees. London is one of five Stony Brook professors recently approved for the appointment of SUNY Distinguished Faculty Ranks, which now totals 1,070 members. “Stony Brook University is fortunate to be home to five new SUNY Distinguished Faculty members who provide the highest levels of thought leadership and innovation in their respective fields,” said Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr. “Their contributions, guidance and standards of scholarship are a valued resource to the institution and to our students.” The distinguished professor-

ship is bestowed upon individuals who have achieved national or international prominence and a reputation within their chosen field. This distinction is attained through significant contributions to research literature in the area of their expertise. The candidate’s work must be of such character that the individual’s presence will tend to elevate the standards of scholarship of colleagues both within and beyond these persons’ academic fields. “For each distinguished faculty member, there is a story of an individual who pushes the boundaries of what was thought possible in research, or of someone who has influenced greater thought leadership on a national or international level,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “These are some of our brightest minds, and they are also some of

our greatest teachers. I am proud they are a part of the SUNY family. My congratulations to this year’s honorees.” London’s career has combined research and practice that has met

the highest level of academic excellence and serves as a model for how social science is critical for business education. With 30 years as a university faculty member and administrator and 12 in corporate research and management, London has established himself as a prolific and highly cited scholar in the areas of leadership development, career dynamics, performance management and social entrepreneurship. London was one of the first to study multisource performance evaluations and feedback in work settings, leading to seminal publications and ubiquitous corporate applications. His theory of career motivation and associated research outlined how individuals’ resilience, insight and identity influence career goals and suggest structures for management development. London’s award-winning books

and articles on performance management in changing organizations focused on creating climates to support employee learning. His book, “The Power of Feedback,” is now in its third edition. “Their [distinguished professors’] excellent record of teaching, mentoring, scholarly publications, research and professional service have earned them these well-deserved distinguished ranks” said Michael A. Bernstein, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Stony Brook University. “In addition to their noteworthy contributions to their respective disciplines, their dedication to our students helps to foster the intergenerational transmission of the passion and skills needed to further elevate scholarship and ground-breaking research inquiry at a great research university such as ours.”

Shoreham family wins Disney trip Tears of joy were shed as Miller Avenue School student Anthony Belvedere and his family learned they won an all-expense paid vacation to Disney World during a surprise announcement, held at the school. Anthony won the trip from nonprofit Families in Arms after his teacher Meghan Schepps nominated him for his hard work this past year. To surprise the family, school officials invited the members to a special reading program where they were greeted by co-founder and president of Families in Arms Alonna

Rubin. With tears in her eyes, she announced that they are the third recipients of a free Disney trip this year. “I am so happy to be able to give this trip to a Shoreham-Wading River family,” said Rubin, who has two children in the district. Founded by Rubin and her father, Ric Mango, the organization raises funds through fundraisers to provide families who have a child with autism, like her son Jack, an opportunity to make memories that go far beyond the walls of therapy.

Mount Sinai hangs on to outscore Rocky Point By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com The Mount Sinai Mustangs put their patented resiliency and toughness on display on the road this week. Even after an 11-point Rocky Point run late in the second quarter to pull within five points, Mount Sinai’s boys’ basketball team battled back and hung on for a 53-40 nonleague win on the road Dec. 13. The Mustangs put together a near perfect first quarter, creating easy layups and racking up points off put-backs to pull ahead 19-9. “I like the way we started the game — I thought we came out pretty strong,” Mount Sinai head coach Ryan McNeely said, although he was disappointed with the run his team let up. “The same kind of thing happened when we played Riverhead at home last week. We jumped on them early, they made a little run and then we came back again, so I think the boys are good with that. They’re an experienced group. They’re resilient, tough kids.” After the 11-0 run, Mount Sinai sophomore forward Nick Pintabona swished two free throws with 3.3 seconds left before halftime to end a scoring drought that lasted more than five minutes. Despite the spree, Mount Sinai maintained a 28-21 advantage. “We kept our composure, we keep a level head,” Mount Sinai senior center Harrison Bak said. “They got a little scrappy, but we kept cool, came back and won by 13.”

Mount Sinai 53 Rocky Point 40

Bak came out to score the first two points of the third on a layup, with an assist from senior point guard Nick Rose. Minutes later, Bak tacked on a 3-point play to further stem the tide. “We faced that adversity where we weren’t hitting shots, and then we made a good run,” Rose said. “I think we were playing really strong. We had a bunch of guys crashing for the rebounds. We were getting the easy put-backs, they were fouling us, we were getting to the free-throw line.” The Mustangs outscored the Eagles 1710 in the quarter, and that momentum propelled the team through the fourth, hanging onto the lead despite being edged out 9-8. Senior forward Cole Harkins led Mount Sinai with 13 points, Bak had 11 points and 13 rebounds, and Rose chipped in 11 points with five assists and eight rebounds. The Mustangs thought their showing on the defensive-side of the ball was effective, holding Rocky Point to under 50 points, but Harkins said he would’ve liked to see his team box out more, and Rose would like to limit the fouls and play better over the screens. The team focused on holding down Rocky Point’s top scorer, senior Alec Rinaldi. The Mustangs made several big blocks, forced turnovers and limited Rinaldi, but the guard still scored 16 points to lead all scorers. The Mustangs improved to 4-0 thus far in all nonleague games, and will play two league games before Christmas break. McNeely said despite the league growing stronger with the new additions of Southampton and Wyandanch, his team has been playing together all offseason,

which might explain its strong start. “I think that experience is starting to show,” he said. “We’re shooting the ball well. We’re shooting the 3-point shot real well. We have some good guards and we have some good, big guys and we have guys that can kind of play both positions.” Rose said the team has already been tested, which he sees as a positive. “It was important that they started to

come back because we stuck with it — we faced that adversity where we weren’t hitting shots, and we made a good run,” he said. “I want to make the playoffs and I want to make a little run in the playoffs. I think getting there will be our hardest task, but there’s a bunch of teams in our league that we can really get after on defense and attack on offense, and I think it should produce some wins for us.”

Holiday light decorations could disrupt plant photosynthesis. File photo by Dan Woulfin

Toy drives across the North Shore are a good opportunity for community members to give back this holiday season.

Give a gift to those in need Holiday spending is expected to reach its highest point since the Great Recession. According to PwC’s 2016 Holiday Outlook, consumer shopping will likely increase 10 percent compared with the 2015 holiday season. Digital sales are expected to increase 25 percent. With larger holiday budgets — an average increase of $1,121 per household — why not use some of that extra cash to spread a little holiday cheer to those less fortunate? The North Shore has a myriad of options for food and toy drives this holiday season. Suffolk County, our local towns, hamlets and even some of our neighbors are asking for nonperishable food items or gifts to make the season a little brighter for those who can’t participate in that extra spending. If there’s a willingness to spend, a willingness to share should come with it. Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) is working with Operation Veronica to collect care package supplies at her district office in Mount Sinai for military men and women. She has also teamed up with Rhonda Klch, a Miller Place resident and founder of the Equity First Foundation, to help Klch collect toy donations for the annual Holiday Dream event. To donate items to Anker’s drives, drop-offs can be done at her district office, located at 620 Route 25A, Suite B in Mount Sinai. For more information about the drives, contact her office at 631-854-1600. The Town of Brookhaven is also hosting an INTERFACE toy drive, sponsored by the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau, which will help provide presents to more than 7,000 children this holiday season. The Town of Brookhaven toy drive event is Dec. 16 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at four separate locations: the Brookhaven Town Highway Department, at 1140 Old Town Road in Coram; the New Village Recreation Center, at 20 Wireless Road in Centereach; the Rose Caracappa Senior Center, at 739 Route 25A in Mount Sinai; or the Brookhaven Calabro Airport, at 135 Dawn Drive in Shirley. For more information or other drop off locations, call the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau at 631-451-8011. Coram resident Ashley Leung will be collecting donations for her second annual Kids Need More Toy Drive, which gives gifts to children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 18 at Corrective Chiropractic in Miller Place, located at 595 Route 25A, Suite 2B. The Friends of Huntington Station Latin Quarter will host a toy drive event Saturday, Dec. 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. Residents are encouraged to drop off toys before that date at 1399 New York Ave. in Huntington Station. Gently used clothing is also being collected. The Salvation Army has representatives collecting money outside of supermarkets and other shopping centers throughout the holiday season.

We enjoy holiday lights, but do trees? Many people buy and hang Christmas tree lights and regular tree lights for special occasions and holidays, but studies have revealed that the bright tree lights hanging on trees all the time is harmful for the trees. As most of us know, trees and plants survive and function using photosynthesis, and sunlight is a part of photosynthesis. When the lights on the plants and trees are constantly active, it seriously affects the plant cycles. It confuses the plants, animals and organisms around it as well. The normal growth and development for trees depends on the light’s quality. William Chaney of Purdue University, says the continuous lighting is even more damaging than lighting that is turned off late in the evening. This is because the foliage of trees grown in continuous lighting

would be larger in size and more susceptible to air pollution and water stress due to the stomatal pores in leaves remaining open for longer periods. The artificial lighting extends the day length for the plant when it is always being exposed to light. It can change flowering patterns and the continued growth. The lights can prevent the plant from flowering and reproducing, and it prevents trees from developing dormancy, which allows them to survive the harshness of the winter weather. The bright lights everywhere can disrupt the animals around as well. For instance, the lights disrupt the navigation systems of migrating birds who calibrate their flight patterns by the moon and stars. The birds (when passing brightly lit areas) then become disoriented and

might even fly into the lit buildings. Some people are starting to use fake Christmas trees for decorating, instead of using real ones, but many people still decorate the environment around them and during the winter season, hundreds of towns and cities are filled with trees and bushes doused with lights which really throws off the plants and their cycles. Imagine if someone covered the entire earth with lights and we never knew if it was morning or night. It would really throw you off, wouldn’t it? So this Christmas and for future reference, think about how your decorating affects the environment and organisms around you. For my family and me, having one artificial lit tree is enough.

Black Lives Matter and racial injustice Recently a letter appeared in Times Beacon Record Newspapers protesting coverage of a Black Lives Matter rally at the Stony Brook LIRR station. The writer, Robert Sandberg, calls BLM a “vicious gang of thugs.” He calls George Soros “the world’s most evil billionaire.” Far from being a “gang of thugs,” BLM is a loosely connected movement of groups responding to a single issue: racial injustice. The crocodile tears Mr. Sandberg cries about BLM not providing scholarships or helping start businesses are entirely irrelevant. To understand why there are BLM protests one needs only recall a few incidents. An unarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin, is confronted and shot dead by a self-appointed vigilante near where he lives. The killer is acquitted. Several months afterwards he sells the gun used to

kill Martin for $250,000. A distinguished Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates, who is black, is handcuffed and arrested outside his home when he returns from vacation and forces his way into his own house, where the front door was jammed shut. The arrest occurs after Gates provides ID to the police. A black motorist, Sandra Bland, is arrested and jailed after being pulled over for failing to signal when changing lanes. A few days later she is found hanged in her cell under mysterious circumstances. What all these incidents have in common is the theme of racial injustice. It is very reasonable for black people to protest both the additional risks they are exposed to simply because of their race and the lack of consequences when serious harm or death is inflicted on them

for reasons that are entirely disproportionate. By ranting against BLM Mr. Sandberg only shows his own woeful lack of empathy. Do I agree with every statement made by every spokesperson for BLM? No. But I certainly understand their grievance that justice is not being done. Mr. Sandberg caricatures BLM as “beating up people and burning cars.” But when BLM stages a peaceful protest at the Stony Brook station (with the support of such “radical” groups as the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship), Mr. Sandberg is “offended” that this paper covers it. I guess he prefers to live in a Long Island bubble and not be reminded of continuing racial injustice in this country. Maybe he thinks that if we all just stick our head in the sand it will go away.

Correction The Dec. 8 editorial, entitled “Pearl Harbor: A turning point for America,” contained incorrect information about the USS Arizona. It was a battleship, not an aircraft carrier, as labeled. We regret the error.

OpiniOn Reflecting on a legacy while awaiting a birth

lmost seven years ago, I wrote my first email to request an interview for a story. In between now and those seven years, the correspondent and I have dropped many of the formalities of our exchanges and have shared personal details. She’s known about big events in my life, mostly related to my kids, while I was aware of when she was getting married. Recently, she shared the exciting news that she is pregnant. By Daniel Dunaief I am thrilled for her and the husband I’ve never met because parenthood is such a spectacular experience, opportunity, and challenge. Less than a week after hear-

D. None of the above

ing about her pregnancy, I spoke with someone for another story I’m researching. When this person heard my last name, he immediately asked me if I was related to someone. Most of the time, that someone is my mom, who works visibly and tirelessly in the communities these newspapers serve. When I was younger and people asked me about my mother, I would look down or look away, because I couldn’t answer questions about the way my mom’s paper covered something or because I was far too busy reading the batting averages for the latest Yankees to share insights about someone who was and is such an inspiration. As I’ve grown, I’ve become more appreciative of the questions and more prepared to look people in the eye — yes, mom, I’m teaching my kids to do that, too — to hear what they have to say and to provide a thoughtful answer. But, this person wasn’t asking me about my mom. He wondered

if I was related to Dr. Dunaief, his former ophthalmologist. Hearing the question surprised me. My father died almost 30 years ago. We talk about him regularly amongst ourselves, wondering what he would have thought of the people he’d never met, including my wife, my brother’s wife and his grandchildren. We tell our children stories about him so they know who he was and they appreciate their heritage. The person said my father was a great doctor. I told my children about the interview and the mention of their grandfather. I asked them what they thought the conversation meant. Both of them looked me in the eye for a long time as they considered their answers. “He must have been a good doctor,” my son said. “Wow, that’s amazing. He made that connection all these years later,” my daughter offered. Yes, I thought, they’re right. And, they had an idea of what it means to make meaningful and lasting connections. Whatever we do, whoever

we see on a daily basis, we have an opportunity to create a legacy that extends long after we’re no longer involved in the same routine. Some parts of who we are, or who we were, remain, whether that’s through our children or grandchildren, or through the memory of an action or interaction. I remember sitting in my father’s office one day when he took me to work and watching as he pulled glass out of the eye of a patient who had been in an accident at a construction site. The patient, a man much more muscular and stronger than my father, fainted in the chair. My father calmly removed all the equipment and revived him. He demonstrated such incredible grace, control and professionalism. So, as I think about the connection between the expectant mother and the memory of my father, I hope she creates positive, lasting memories for her unborn child, even as that child grows and develops a meaningful legacy.

the week. So in hindsight, I guess it is not so surprising that I wound up being a newspaper publisher, despite my teenage plans for a different direction. Hearing the news and interpreting its implications are as much a habit for me as breathing. So you can understand my distress at the current tsunami of fake news that has overtaken us. News, by definition and tradition, must be factual. If not, it is either a parody in the guise of news; or it is opinion or partisan, clearly presented as such; or it is propaganda, to be thus evaluated by the viewer. Now, those in the business of offering the news can certainly make mistakes, sometimes colossal ones, as in telling us that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction rather than emphasizing the fog and controversy surrounding that conclusion. Respected journalists told us that as fact, and though they believed what they were sharing, they were wrong. That is different, however, from the plethora of so-called news stories that are deliberately fabricated and shared every day with millions

thanks to access to social media. Everyone with a digital device can now become a publisher and disseminate half-truths, conspiracy theories and flagrant falsehoods as news, without any form of vetting. The more gullible or, perhaps, less informed, or those enjoying the partisan slant, like tabloid readers, are rapt viewers. Sometimes they respond, as did the North Carolina guy we heard about who shot up a pizza parlor in Washington, D.C. because he heard that there was a child-abuse ring operating there. While extreme, it is not any more false than the news that Pope Francis had endorsed Donald Trump before our recent election. Regardless of one’s political orientation, that sort of phony and hyperpartisan stuff is alarming — or should be. Further troubling is how to deal with the question of vetting versus censorship. Worst, as a result of the proliferation of so much fake news, is the confusion it sows about all news. What’s true, what’s a lie? Whom and what to believe? The marvel of the internet and mobile phones to bring

inside news about brutality of dictatorships or other previously secret horror stories to the world’s attention and thereby reduce their occurrence has now been inverted. All sorts of false horror stories can now be broadcast as truths. The impact on the real news is to diminish the effect and value of good reporting. As Thomas Jefferson preached, without an informed public, democracy is not possible. Ironically, speaking of Jefferson, he or his supporters placed deceitful and, in today’s view, libelous stories in early newspapers when he ran against John Adams for president, and Adams’ followers did the same. So this fake news epidemic is not something new; only having so many decentralized outlets for transmitting the lies is. Somehow we will sort this out, just as they did two centuries ago. Meanwhile, read the hometown newspaper. We never lie and while we are not always accurate, publishing corrections for our inadvertent mistakes in the following issue, we hold fact to be sacred.

The joy of news — real, ‘true’ news “News” is one of my favorite fourletter words. Since I was a kid and watched the newsreels that preceded the feature films at movie theaters, before television, I have been engaged by the events that unfold around us on a daily basis. When they installed the public address system in my elementary school, instruction would stop a half hour By Leah S. Dunaief for every Friday morning as “Let’s Look at the News,” a New York City-sponsored program, was transmitted to all the classrooms. The format involved student panelists each week, and I listened with great interest. I was even on the panel at the radio station when I was in fifth grade, which necessitated my reading the daily newspapers throughout
