Village

Three Village teens aim to build second school in Malawi BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

While guests enjoyed a soup cook-off at The Bates House in Setauket Feb. 3, they were doing more than savoring good food: They were helping members of the Global Ambassadors Club at Ward Melville raise funds to build a school in Malawi, East Africa. This academic year is the second in a row that high school seniors Lucia Buscemi and Rebecca Holt have spearheaded a fundraising drive for the nonprofit buildOn, which helps students raise funds to build schools in impoverished countries. The Ward Melville seniors discovered buildOn before their junior year after researching fundraising ideas and were impressed with its projects where students and village residents work together to build a school. In an interview with The Village Times Herald last year, Buscemi said she believes providing children with an education is vital. “It’s not about a bunch of kids going down there to build a school to get community service hours,” Buscemi said. “They’re making sure that it’s something sustainable and will last for generations to come.”

Last summer the student was able to travel to central Malawi with her mother, younger sister and fellow student Madeline Immerman after the community team WMbuildOn raised $12,000 for the cause. Buscemi said in a recent phone interview the Ward Melville group teamed up with two other schools from the United States to help carry water and lay bricks for a school’s foundation. The structure WMbuildOn fundraised for was an additional block to a school buildOn built in 2016 for firstand second-graders. The new section created classrooms for third- and fourth-graders to study in. More students were interested in going on the 2018 trip, according to Buscemi, but a few parents were concerned about safety. Holt said she had hoped to travel to Malawi last summer but was unable to due to a trip to Paris and an internship. After hearing about Buscemi’s experience, she said she can’t wait to attend this summer. So far, eight people have signed up for the journey that will take place July 7 through July 15. Holt and Buscemi said WMbuildOn is off to a good start in 2019, collecting more than $10,000 toward its $30,000 goal. The girls said the group raised some $2,300 at the Feb. 3

event where nearly 100 people attended. To raise money, team members have individual fundraising activities in addition to club events. Holt said one example is friends and family members have pledged a certain amount for every mile she runs each week to help her raise money for the project. The students said they hope to organize a community concert similar to one the team hosted in 2018 featuring local musical groups. The girls said Three Village residents were a big help last year, and they hope they will join them in their fundraising pursuits once again. “Last year one of the reasons that we were able to raise so much with so few people [on our team] is that the community was very involved,” Holt said. “So many people reached out, whether it be teachers or people who came out to the concert and started to get involved. It was so helpful in getting that amount of money.” Lucas Turner, community engagement manager of the East Coast for buildOn, said the organization is proud of Buscemi and Holt for taking on the goal of building another school so soon. He said the structures have two classrooms that can house approximately 100 students throughout the day. “Often, we have teams build another school

after their first, but it is typically not as soon as they are doing it, so they are really taking the initiative, and we are very proud of their dedication,” Turner said. For more information about WMbuildOn, visit act.buildon.org/wm19 or follow progress on Instagram@wmbuildon.

Movers and Shakers

Three Village power couples share advice on balancing busy lives BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Three Village area is filled with movers and shakers, so it’s no surprise that many of them are married to each other. Recently, three of the area’s community-minded couples took time out of their busy schedules to talk about their relationships and balancing their active lifestyles.

George and Maria Hoffman

George Hoffman, of East Setauket, is a familiar face in the Three Village area. He is first vice president of the Three Village Civic Association and co-founder of the Setauket Harbor Task Force. Maria Hoffman is chief of staff for state Assemblyman Steven Englebright (D-Setauket), a local beekeeper and a volunteer with the harbor task force. The Hoffmans married in 2009 in Frank Melville Memorial Park, and they said it’s the second time around for both of them. A couple of years before they tied the knot, the two met through Englebright’s office. George Hoffman, who has worked in the political field for 35 years, was living on the South Shore working with a former county legislator, Wayne Prospect, when he first met Englebright. One day when he saw Maria at the office, she asked him to take a walk in the park and soon after they started dating. The husband said with both being community activists they understand each other’s schedule, like when she’s under deadline or he has a night meeting, and they don’t get as stressed as some couples might. George Hoffman said it also helps that their interests overlap, and they have easygoing temperaments. “I think we are respectful of each other’s responsibilities,” he said. “We have separate spheres that overlap a little bit in terms of the environment and community. She’s involved more in government, and then it overlaps into environment and community.” The husband, who said his wife is the first one he goes to for editing his work, added the two are good for each other especially making sure the other doesn’t procrastinate. Maria Hoffman said they also work on ideas together. The wife said it’s important for busy couples to spend time alone with each other too, calling the time “regeneration periods.” “We also make time for things that are important, whether it’s walking or in the summertime boating — being on a sailboat,” Maria Hoffman said. “We make time to balance all the busyness. So, I think that is part of keeping things alive.”

Herb and Gretchen Mones

Herb and Gretchen Mones, from Stony Brook, have been married for 28 years and

Maria and George Hoffman; Gretchen and Herb Mones; and Jane and Rob Taylor are familiar to many in the Three Village community. Photos from Maria Hoffman, Herb Mones and Jane Taylor

have three grown sons. The two met while teaching at Centereach High School where she was an English teacher and he was a social studies teacher. Gretchen Mones is the first vice president at the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium, an organization where she has been an active board member for 15 years, and has chaired the education and exhibits committee for more than a dozen years. Herb Mones has been a board member of the Three Village Civic Association for almost 30 years. A past president of the civic, he currently serves as the organization’s land use chair. In addition to his work with the civic association, he is a board member of the Three Village Community Trust, which works to preserve and protect buildings and properties in the community. He co-chaired the civic’s task force for more than a decade which eventually resulted in the construction of the SetauketPort Jefferson Station Greenway Trail. Herb is a past chair of the Greening of 25A and was active in the movement to restore the West Meadow peninsula. He currently serves on a Town of Brookhaven West Meadow Beach steering committee. Herb Mones said his wife’s commitment to everything she does inspires him to do things to the best of his ability. It’s something he noticed when they both taught at Centereach High School. “Gretchen has such an integrity to do the work she does correctly and immaculately, and with a degree of professionalism, that it becomes a model to attain to,” Herb Mones said. Gretchen Mones said her husband has never met a project he couldn’t conquer and has the energy of four of five people. He is up early every morning and walks the Greenway trail, where he cleans up any graffiti he sees. “He’s just so capable and optimistic —

dedicated,” she said. “There’s no such thing as a short term or long term. Once he starts, he’s in it until he finishes it. It’s really incredible. I don’t know how he does it. All my friends tell me how lucky I am and how lucky the community is, and I have to agree with them. He’s an incredible person.” Gretchen Mones said sharing calendars helps them manage their schedules and attending each other’s social functions, especially fundraisers and annual events, is important. Herb Mones said volunteer work helps with one’s personal growth as well as a relationship, even when a husband and wife may be involved in different community activities. “You have a greater understanding not only of what you’re doing but what the other person is doing,” he said.

Jane and Rob Taylor

Jane and Rob Taylor, who have been married for 47 years, were introduced by a friend at a Doors concert. Three Village residents know Jane Taylor from her various roles with The Stony Brook School during her 44-year career. Her husband graduated from the private school in 1967 and worked in the school’s business office for a time after college. Last summer Jane Taylor stepped down from her role as assistant head of school and is currently the executive director of The Three Village Chamber of Commerce. Rob Taylor, a CPA and a former partner in the Manhattan office of CapinCrouse, still provides virtual chief financial officer services for local organizations. Successful careers haven’t kept the couple from being involved in the community. Jane Taylor serves on a West Meadow advisory committee, co-chaired the Route 25A Corridor Citizens Advisory Committee, is a long-term member of the Walk for Beauty Committee, among others. Over the years, Rob Taylor

has served as an elder of a local church, is a founding president of Leadership Huntington, and is on the boards of The Jazz Loft and Citygate, which works with the homeless. He is also a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. The couple said a wife and husband don’t have to be involved in similar activities, and sometimes one’s community work not only helps them each to become a better person but improves relationships. The two have also learned from each other. While Jane Taylor admires her husband’s knack for writing, she also appreciates his energy. Rob Taylor said he takes joy in seeing how his wife works with people from many different perspectives. He also credits her for bringing order to his life. Jane Taylor said a shared calendar is helpful to keep their schedules in sync, even though she admitted sometimes they forget to tell one another about an activity here and there. “Blending all the parts of your life together is never easy and it’s never going to go smoothly, and there are going to be bumps,” she said. “And you have to accept that fact that it’s going to be bumpy. Some seasons are going to be a little harder than others.” Rob Taylor, who together with Jane has two grown children, said commitment helps with balancing, too. “I think some of it is a matter of just, from a philosophical and practical standpoint, knowing that you want to be involved in community and to make a commitment to business and family at the same time and just working together to make it work,” he said. Know someone in the Three Village area who is mover and shaker? If so, send an email to rita@tbrnewsmedia.com, and you may see his or her story in a future edition of The Village Times Herald.

Car crashes into dentist office

BY DAVID ACKERMAN DAVID@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

On Feb. 13 at approximately 1:05 p.m. a crash occurred at 210 Main St. in East Setauket. A driver lost control while attempting to parallel park and backed into the front of the dental office of Dr. Hugh M. Musof, according to the dentist. There were no injuries caused by the accident although there is considerable damage to the building.

“I was the only person in the building, and I heard the impact and breaking glass,” Musof said. The building also contains the law practice of Barr B. Musof and Tri Fit Physical Therapy & Wellness and is directly adjacent to the office of state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), which was untouched. This event is reminiscent of another crash that occurred at nearby Via Pizza in September where a driver lost control of a vehicle and drove through the front of the building.

Police arrest woman who allegedly stole patients’ items in RP dentistry Suffolk County Police arrested a female dental assistant for stealing jewelry from patients at a dental office in Rocky Point Feb 8. Arieta Gouvakis, a dental assistant at Long Island Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry, located at 31 Fairway Drive in Rocky Point, allegedly removed jewelry from two patients who were being treated at the office under her care on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. Neither patient realized their jewelry was missing until after they left the office, police said. Suffolk County Police Property Recovery Squad recovered the stolen jewelry from local pawn shops. The dental office cooperated fully with the investigation once they were notified of the allegation against their employee. Gouvakis, 38, was arrested at her home, located at 270 Weeks Ave. in Manorville, at about 12:30 a.m., police said. She was charged with two counts of grand larceny and two counts of criminal possession of stolen property. She was held overnight at the 4th Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned at 1st District Court in Central Islip the morning

NYS legislators take steps to protect coastal waters from offshore drilling BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

State legislators are trying to ensure the federal government doesn’t murk up New York’s coastal waters. Both the New York State Assembly and Senate passed legislation Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 to prohibit oil and natural gas drilling in New York’s coastal areas. The legislative action comes a year after hundreds of Long Island residents attended a public hearing at the William H. Rogers Legislature Building in Smithtown to voice concerns relating to discussions on the federal level over potential drilling in the Atlantic Ocean. The bill now awaits the signature of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket), the Assembly environmental conservation committee chair, was one of the legislators who hosted last year’s Smithtown hearing. The assemblyman said in a statement those who attended the hearing unanimously condemned the federal government’s proposal to drill for oil and gas in open waters. “This legislation will safeguard our water and shores from the dangers of fossil fuel

County

exploration and drilling, and will support our efforts to move our state toward cleaner and renewable energy sources,” Englebright said. The legislation would prohibit the use of state-owned underwater coastal lands for oil and natural gas drilling; prevent the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Office of General Services from authorizing leases which would increase oil or natural gas production from federal waters; and prohibit the development of infrastructure associated with exploration, development or production of oil or natural gas from New York’s coastal waters, according to a press release from Englebright’s office. The new legislation will reaffirm the state’s coastal management practices to ensure the protection of endangered and threatened species, along with tourism and recreational and commercial fishing industries, according to Englebright. “Our largest industry in New York, and especially in coastal New York, is tourism,” Englebright said. “Oil and gas exploration is incompatible with tourism. We’ve seen the kinds of mistakes that have occurred in other parts of the world where oil and gas exploration near recreation areas and near active fisheries has occurred. We don’t want those kinds of chaos to

descend upon our economy or our state.” The legislation updates New York State laws that are decades old, according to a press release from state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport). “Offshore drilling is the single largest threat to the sustainability of Long Island’s environment,” Gaughran said in a statement. “I am proud that under [Senate] Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins [D-Yonkers], New York State is moving toward protecting our natural resources and banning senseless

proposals to drill off our beautiful coast.” State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who was the original lead sponsor of the legislation in the state Senate, said he urges the governor to sign the bill. “We have painstakingly worked to preserve and protect our pristine waters, and we certainly do not want to imperil all of our efforts to maintain clean water by allowing drilling off our shoreline,” LaValle said. Kevin McAllister, founding president of Sag Harbor-based nonprofit Defend H2O, said restricting oil and gas exploration off the coast is important as the drilling for fossil fuels negatively impacts the environment. He said it’s critical for states along the entire Eastern Seaboard to follow suit, and he urges Cuomo to enlist coastal solidarity. “If rising seas, ocean acidification, killer floods aren’t sobering enough, don’t overlook a legacy of regret with oil extraction and transport,” he said. “Santa Barbara oil spill, Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon all inflicted massive damages to the marine and the coastal environment over thousands of square miles. In the oil industry, accidents happen. The best way to prevent another catastrophe is to close the door on further exploration.”

John Kennedy Jr. throws hat in the ring for county executive BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Less than a month ago, Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) was still debating whether he would run this year for Suffolk County executive. On Feb. 11, Kennedy stood shoulder to shoulder with other top Republican leaders to announce his running for the top county office. “None of us forgets who we work for, and that’s the taxpayer,” Kennedy said. “We will stop the hemorrhaging, stop the bleeding. We will cut up the credit cards, start to pay our debts and bring life back to Suffolk County.” Kennedy, along with other county Republicans, has been consistent in attacking county Executive Steve Bellone (R) for the current state of the county’s finances, pointing to a drop in bond rating from A3 to Baa1 on the Moody Rating Scale since 2015. In a Jan. 31 article by TBR News Media, Eric Naughton, Suffolk’s budget director, said while the county’s bond rating has dropped, Kennedy was “overstating” the impact. He went on to say Moody’s, which gives the bond grades to municipalities, was only looking at the past and not the future. Kennedy has called for a 90-day top to

bottom look at the county’s offices to see which ones can be pruned, which employees can be shuffled around and what belts can be tightened. He also called for an end to excessive spending, while cutting county fees and reducing the size of the county’s red light camera program. He said he was especially concerned with delays in payment to public employees and to contractors. “We don’t pay our daycare providers on time, we don’t pay anybody on time,” the comptroller said. “We make them all our bank.” John Jay LaValle, the Suffolk County Republican committee chairman, said during a phone interview the party is throwing its weight behind the current county comptroller. So far two other Republicans have announced their candidacy, including Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga). LaValle said former police officer Larry Zacarese, who previously ran for Suffolk County sheriff in 2017, was also considering running on the Republican ticket. The Republican committee chairman said he would ask the current candidates to sit down and work out their differences, saying a primary could do damage to the party’s chance to win. “If we do a primary, we give the executive seat to Bellone,” LaValle said. Kennedy announced his plan to run for office at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge,

surrounded by U.S. Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Peter King (R-Seaford), along with many other elected Republicans. King ran again for his position alongside Kennedy in the 2018 electoral season. “He ran us all into the ground — I’ve never seen a harder working campaigner,” King said. Trotta said during a phone interview he would be willing to sit down with Kennedy and the Republican leadership, potentially to drop his candidacy if he agrees with what he hears. “I welcome John Kennedy to the race, this is what democracy is all about, and no one knows more than John about what a financial mess the Bellone administration has created,” Trotta said.

Kennedy has worked in public office for years, working with current Brookhaven town supervisor Ed Romaine (R) when he was county clerk before being elected to the Suffolk County Legislature in 2004. He then later ran for and was elected to the Suffolk County comptroller position in 2014, boasting at the time he was vastly outspent by his opponent on the campaign trail. Bellone’s office came out the gate swinging as Kennedy’s candidacy was announced. “No one has opposed government reform or voted to increase spending and debt more than John Kennedy,” said Bellone spokesperson Jason Elan in a press release. “Under [Bellone’s] watch, I have seen red light cameras pop up over intersection after intersection, finding new ways to put their hands in their pockets,” Zeldin said during Kennedy’s campaign announcement. Kennedy was also joined by his wife Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset), who is running again this year for re-election. Both husband and wife said partially it took so long for him to announce his candidacy because of the concern one’s campaign fight could affect the other’s. “It was a weighing process for both of us,” Legislator Kennedy said. “It’s about what he can do to make it better here so that everybody can afford to stay.”

Legislators, task force aim to reduce plastics in Suffolk County BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County legislators are looking to restrict the sales of several plastics, some harmful to health and others harmful to the environment. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), along with members of the Legislature’s Single-Use Plastic Reduction Task Force announced four policy initiatives intended to reduce plastic and polystyrene waste in the county at a press conference Feb.13. “Today we announce policies that will come to define our county’s environmental legacy for generations to come,” Hahn said in a press release. Hahn and the task force have outlined regulations directed at local businesses and the county. One of the proposed bills focuses on polystyrene, banning it in food service products including plates, cups, containers and trays. It would require businesses in the county to use biodegradable products, though the bill would exempt items used to store uncooked eggs, raw meat, pork, fish, seafood and poultry. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services classified styrene as a potential

human carcinogen and, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, polystyrene manufacturing process is the fifth largest creator of hazardous waste in the United States. “[Styrene has] recently been upgraded from a possible carcinogen to a probable carcinogen — a cancer causing chemical,” Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said. “Long Island has some of the highest cancer rates in the country.” Hahn said polystyrene and plastics are causing a waste management problem as well. “You see waste in waterways, on our beaches, on our roadways,” she said. A second bill would require single-use plastic beverage straws and stirrers to only be given in Suffolk County by request as a means of reducing plastic consumption. As an alternative to plastics, businesses would give customers biodegradable products, such as paper straws. There is an exception for those who have a disability or medical condition. Hahn and the task force also plan to prohibit the use of plastic products in all Suffolk County parks as part of their third initiative. Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) supports the proposed bills.

“We see that these things are happening — I know with the plastic bag ban there was some push back,” he said. “But it is nice to be able to do something that will make a difference and that works.” In conjunction, the task force proposed a requirement that all future contracts with concessionaires at county parks include a restriction on the use of plastic and nonbiodegradable cups, utensils and beverage straws. Hahn and the task force advised the issue of waste produced by these products is a more urgent problem than some people realize, and the county needs to clean up its act. These bills are a continuation of Hahn’s and others countywide initiative to reduce singleuse plastic straws. One project, called Strawless Suffolk, started in July 2018 and looked for 100 seaside restaurants in Bellport, Greenport, Huntington, Northport, Patchogue and Port Jefferson Village take a pledge to stop using plastic straws by Sept. 3, 2018. Hahn cites some landfills on Long Island are almost at full capacity and said that it not just about recycling more, rather its reducing the use of plastic items and to reuse things.

“We as a society as a whole need to continue to research and study this issue and product,” she said.” To further decrease the use of plastic products, a fourth initiative will call to replace existing water fountains with new ones designed to allow bottle filling at county facilities that have 10 or more employees and in county-owned parks that have water dispensers. “People will be less likely to use plastic water bottles and will be able to fill their own reusable bottle if they bring with them to our county buildings, parks and beaches,” the Setauket legislator said. The two nonlocal laws in the initiatives package, the installation of water fountains in county facilities and the concessionaires requirement, could be passed as early as March 5, depending upon legislative discussion and a vote. The other two local laws that apply to businesses in the county will require a public hearing, but could end up as law as early as April 9. “Plastic waste has become a tangible threat to our $5.6 billion tourism-driven economy,” Hahn said. “We are Long Islanders, our identity is tied to the water.”

Obituary Erwin P. Staller

Erwin P. Staller, Stony Brook University emeritus trustee and CEO of Staller Associates died Feb. 11 in Lloyd Harbor, according to an email from the Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University. “Over the years, Erwin Staller’s commitment to the center and to the university was steadfast,” said Alan Inkles, director of the Staller Center for the Arts. “He, along with his wife Pearl ‘Freddie,’ his son Cary and the extended family, has been a true supporter of the arts and has been the foundation of the center’s success. He was a dear friend who always encouraged my team and I to strive and reach for the stars. It was always a pleasure to have him and Freddie in the audience knowing how much he enjoyed all kinds of performances. As a philanthropist, adviser and friend to the arts, the university and to the region, he will be greatly missed.” According to SBU’s website, Staller was born in 1921 and was an innovative entrepreneur in Long Island’s commercial real estate market. The World War II veteran served five years in the U.S. Army. In 1988, Staller and his family gave the university its first million-dollar donation, a $1.8 million gift to what became the Staller Center for the Arts, helping create a foundation for the Staller’s legacy of philanthropy at SBU spanning 35 years. The arts center was named in honor of his parents Max and Mary Staller.

Staller received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from SBU in 2001 and served on the Stony Brook Foundation board of trustees for more than 30 years. The university credits Staller for championing a project to have a campus hotel for more than 23 years until its fruition in 2013. The university will dedicate a roadway between the Hilton Garden Inn and Administration as Erwin P. Staller Way in the near future. “As we reflect on Erwin’s myriad contributions in time and treasure to benefit our students, faculty, staff and our community, though I will miss him dearly, I am inspired by Erwin Staller’s vision and focus, and in the knowledge that his powerful legacy will live on at Stony Brook for generations to come,” said Stony Brook University President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr. in a statement.

North Shore wrestlers win big BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Area wrestlers once again rose to the occasion and racked up some hardware as a result. Thirteen North Shore wrestlers placed first or second, 15 third or fourth and another 13 fifth or sixth at the Division I Suffolk County championships at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood Feb. 9-10. And it was Hauppauge’s junior class that stole the show. Luke Smith (113 pounds), Danny Mauriello (152) and Michael Tyrell (182) all placed first to help the Eagles to the team title and Bill Knapp award. Mauriello, who won his match against Kings Park senior Stefan Major with a 5-3 decision, was named the Jack Mahoney Champion of Champions. Sophomore Chris Boudreau (138) placed third for Hauppauge; freshman Mikey Manta (99) and sophomore Andrew Maiorini (113) placed fourth; and junior Anthony Dibartolo (132) placed fifth. Rocky Point was next in line with five count placers, highlighted by junior 132-pound Logan

Sciotto’s pin of Islip’s Sean Peterson at 2:41 for the county crown. Senior Corey Connolly also made it to the finals, and dropped a 3-0 decision to Copiague’s Paul Illicete at 170 pounds. Junior Evan Matias (120) and senior Kris Ketchum (145) finished third, and senior Justin Amendola (113) placed fifth. Commack, Kings Park, Newfield, Smithtown West and Ward Melville each had four wrestlers place. Commack senior Joey Slackman, who pinned his 285 opponent London Castillo of Brentwood in 36 seconds, had the most pins in the least amount of time, taking down four wrestlers in 3:22. Miller Place got three grapplers to the podium, Centereach and Huntington had two placers, and Harborfields and Northport each had one.

Town

Storage Wars

New self-storage facilities in Port Jefferson Station divide residents BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM There are two new developments on the horizon for Port Jefferson Station, tucked away in the backwoods along Sheep Pasture Road. Despite first assumptions, they’re not hotels, restaurants or homes, but self-storage facilities. Beyond that, both projects could be located a three-minute drive from each other. At its Jan. 31 meeting, the Town of Brookhaven board voted unanimously to change the zoning on a parcel located along Sheep Pasture Road, across from the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption from B1 Residential to L1 Industrial for the purpose of creating the 87,550-square-foot self-storage facility on the nearly five-acre wooded area. “We make our best efforts to balance all of the competing interests and factors and make decisions that take into consideration all concerns.” Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said. Enrico Scarda, founder of The Crest Group, a real estate firm based in Hauppauge that owns the property, said he expects to start building the structure within the next eight months. “We had huge community outreach, both to the immediate residents and others, we couldn’t really do anything better than this proposal,” Scarda said. The development was initially proposed in 2018, but complaints about the structure being close to the road along with its large amount of parking spaces and its industrial-seeming facade made the company and town go back to the drawing board. Anthony Graves, the town’s chief environmental analyst, presented designs of the new structure that included an updated rustic facade, a limitation of 35 feet in height and 75

feet of natural buffering between Sheep Pasture Road, Dark Hollow Road and the structure. This pushes the facility back to the northern end of the property, near the LIRR train tracks. The site allows for 44 parking spaces and 41 spaces for the storage of vehicles. Graves and Crest Group’s attorneys said they promised to include solar panels on the roof and have the entrance onto the property come directly across from Harborview Avenue. “The safest thing to do is not have people living on the site,” Graves said. The town said they have received letters of approval from the Three Village Civic Association as well as the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption. A number of residents spoke at the meeting, and while some spoke up in favor of the proposal, complementing its setback away from the road and for the convenience it could give some residents and businesses, others spoke their opposition to the development. “The value of my house is definitely going down because of this thing,” Port Jeff Station resident Richard Rowland said. His property was described as a “stone’s throw” away from

the planned storage facility. Cartright said the town worked hard to account for resident’s complaints. “Every change that was made to the project was in response to a request or concern raised by constituents,” the councilwoman said. The Crest Group president said they went ahead with this development instead of homes because of the unique nature of the property. In 2015 the town restricted development at the site as it was once owned by Lawrence Aviation Industries, which dumped harmful chemicals onto the property for years that then leached into the soil and groundwater. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, along with the Town

of Brookhaven, have been working on cleanup efforts. In the meantime, the town promised to restrict certain industrial and residential developments. Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said self-storage facilities, at least compared to overall development, has relatively little impact in terms of cars, traffic or the environment. “It’s the least impactful on traffic,” the supervisor said. Port Jeff Station resident Jim Fox contested the idea the old Lawrence Aviation property is unavailable for single-family residences development in the near future. “The EPA has said there has been a significant reduction in the plume,” Fox said. “It’s going to be 100 percent drinkable in 10 years.”

Clockwise from bottom left: site plans for the self-storage site at the corner of Sheep Pasture Road and Dark Hollow Road; Anthony Graves, middle, speaks the about project’s site plans; Keith Brown, right, and other representatives display site plans for self-storage facility on Baylis Avenue. Photos by Kyle Barr

Baylis Avenue self-storage Another self-storage structure has been proposed to the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association, one with a much smaller footprint than the one down the road. This project, which would be located at 16 Baylis Ave., is currently a small set of undeveloped woods and an empty field zoned L1 Industrial sitting next to a pocket of residential homes and apartments. Designs presented to the civic by Atlanta, Georgia-based developer Talon Inc., show six storage units spaced 30 feet apart, with five being one story and the last being a two-story storage space. Each single-story unit takes up 7,750 square feet and is accessed from the exterior while the two-story has a footprint of 40,500 square feet and will contain an office space as well. Charlie McAteer, the civic’s corresponding secretary, said the developers had already talked to the civic and Brookhaven town in summer 2018, but that no moves were made before the Jan. 22 meeting. Keith Brown, a zoning attorney from Melville-based Brown & Altman LLP, said they chose the site because of its current zoning,

its proximity to the railroad tracks, and the wooded buffer between it and the neighboring Heatherwood House at Port Jefferson apartment complex. “The site is designed with a 76-feet-deep, contiguous, naturally wooded buffer that will serve as a buffer to the south and a 214-feet buffer to the north, and 48 percent of the site will be landscaped.” Designs shown at the civic meeting indicate 53 parking spots with another four stalls designated for loading. The road leading up to the facility is currently pockmarked with potholes, and the property at the end of Baylis currently features a small-scale lumber operation. Brett Hatcher, senior vice president of investments at Columbus, Ohio-based real estate company Marcus & Millichap, who is working with Talon on the project, said they were already aware of the other self-storage site down the road, but wouldn’t comment on if that facility has changed their plans. When asked, Scarda said he was unaware of the proposal for Baylis Avenue. In a letter to the town, the civic relayed its appreciation for the 76-foot buffer and had no other comments on the property.

Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you’ll find rustic exteriors and shel-tered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Fr ank Lloyd Wr ight, this style can be house boxy or low-slung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape C od homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straight-edge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rect-angular design and second floor bedrooms.

Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian’s classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt.

Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Vi ctorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry dene the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian Wi th paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty.

Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door. Gothic Revival English romanticism influenced this style, marked by Gothic windows and vaulted roofs. Spanish Eclectic This style has details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Greek Revival Entryway columns and a front door surrounded by rectangular windows are characteristic. Split Level A Modern style, Split levels sequester living activities, such as sleeping and socializing. International The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts.

Stick Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards are typical of this Vi ctorian style. Italianate This style has symmetrical bay windows in front, small chimneys, and tall windows. Tudor Tudors have half-timbering on bay windows and upper oors, and steep cross gables. Monterey The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an Adobe brick exterior. Victorian Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture incorporated decorative details such as patterned shingles. National Rooted in Native American dwellings, the National style is rectangular with sidegabled roofs.

Letters to the editor

Watch the SC executive race

Recently, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) spent his time attacking Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in a series of Twitter posts that received national media coverage. Instead of doing the work he was (narrowly) elected to do by the constituents of NY1, our representative was engaging in Twitter attacks that betray the character of our district, the issues we face and the Jewish values Lee Zeldin claims to stand for. In one of the exchanges on Twitter, Zeldin said the following to Omar: “Those poor innocent Isis fighters and Palestinian terrorists,” as if to characterize this Muslim congresswoman as someone who condones violence, simply by religious association. Zeldin seems to have forgotten that he represents a diverse district and has Muslim constituents who should not be characterized with such hateful rhetoric. For Zeldin to initiate this sort of attack on a colleague that he admits he’s never personally spoken to is a slap in the face to the diverse constituency of NY1. This sort of rhetoric also flies in the face of the Jewish values that Zeldin claims to stand for. While he may take issue with Omar’s views, as Jews, we are

Editorial

Suffolk County’s newest elected officials have taken their oaths of office in recent weeks, and some are still learning the ropes of their new office. But now, voters need to shrug off any remaining 2018 election season fatigue. County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) formally announced his campaign to take on incumbent County Executive Steve Bellone (D) for the county’s top office. Kennedy already faces a challenge from county Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) who’s made it no secret he wants to take charge, while his fellow Republican party member Larry Zacarese is watching and waiting in the wings. The state’s Jan. 18 voting reform bills have already brought out a wealth of contenders for the 2019 county executive race, as the legislation pushed the state’s primary elections from September up to June. This effectively lengthens the campaign season by three months. For the sake of voters, we hope all candidates will use these additional months to talk about critical issues — not make it an extended political slugfest. This year’s county executive race is critical. Our next leader faces a never-ending series of challenges to ensure this part of Long Island remains a safe, affordable place we’re still proud to call home. The county’s financial status is delicate. One party cries we face fiscal ruin if spending patterns continue while the other claims despite sinking bond ratings, the future will be brighter. Everyone knows taxes are high, wages haven’t kept up with inflation and Suffolk’s cost of living already ranks among the highest in the nation. Our future county executive needs to be ready to tighten down, cut costs and keep life affordable. Key to that will be a successful negotiation of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association’s contract that pays the salary of our police officers. It is one of the biggest pieces of the county’s annual budget and it’s on the table — how much taxpayers dig into their pockets will depend on a successful contract. Not to mention many of the county’s other employee unions need new contracts at reasonable and fair rates as well. Both parties agree that a focus on infrastructure and securing economic growth will help to ensure the area’s future success and stem the “brain drain,” or the droves of the 20- and 30-year-olds leaving Long Island to keep their hopes of the American Dream alive. How to best do it is a matter for debate that should be addressed by all candidates. We’d also like to see promises kept to existing projects, some of which have been decades in the making, such as Wading RiverPort Jefferson Rails to Trails and its commitment to help push forward with sewers in Kings Park. A lot of important tasks will fall to whoever wins the 2019 county executive race, so we encourage Suffolk residents to extensively question all candidates and demand concrete answers. Don’t settle for vague promises without a plan for execution. To the candidates, don’t let this dissolve into negative campaigning, name calling and bullying. We expect you to have an open-door policy and intelligent discourse of your future plans, if elected. You are expected to rise to the challenge before you, not mire Suffolk in a cesspool of negativity.

Rhetoric flies in the face of Jewish values taught to engage in meaningful dialogue. In the Jewish books of the Talmud and Mishnah, there are countless discussions between scholars on passages, with rabbis arguing over the finer points of the law. This is what our faith teaches us, to think, to question, to dissect. Our faith teaches us to welcome the stranger, to respect those who think differently than we do, even when we disagree. When one of only two Jewish House Republicans rejects that intellectual rigor to attack a Muslim colleague, he rejects our Jewish values and does not represent our faith. This entire exchange was not in the best interest of constituents in the district. We are facing serious economic issues. Federal workers are reeling from the recent shutdown and fearing the next deadline to keep the government open. Zeldin voted against reopening the government on numerous bills. He also voted against H.Res.77: Expressing the sense of Congress that financial institutions and other companies should work proactively with their customers affected by the shutdown of the federal government who may be facing short-term financial hardship and long-term damage

to their creditworthiness through no fault of their own. And, he voted against H.Res.79: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that government shutdowns are detrimental to the nation and should not occur. This past shutdown was painful for many constituents in the district and, with these votes, Zeldin is disregarding that deep economic and emotional pain. Additionally, many of us are currently in enormous shock over filing our taxes and owing money for the first time, thanks to the loss of our SALT deductions due to the Trump tax plan. Zeldin has done nothing to attempt to ease this or repeal the tax plan, despite the enormous burden on his constituents. These are challenging times. We need a leader with the intellectual rigor, discipline and morality to lead a diverse constituency. We need a leader who can unite this district rather than divide it. In his rhetoric and votes this past week, Congressman Lee Zeldin has once again shown that he is not qualified to provide that leadership for NY1. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Great organizations in the Three Village area I’d like to give a big shoutout to a few great places and organizations in the Three Village area. First, Ace Hardware in East Setauket owned by Astrid and Steve Caropelo. It seems no matter what I’m looking for, I can find it there. I needed quilting needles the other day, and they had them. On my way out, I found birdseed for my backyard visitors. Craft paper? They have it. I also recently lost my one and only iced tea spoon. I never expected to find some there, but they had them. Besides being well stocked, the help there is amazing. Someone is always ready to provide assistance. They also are an extremely generous business. As a board member for Three

Village Meals on Wheels, I have firsthand knowledge of their generosity. During the holiday season they have helped us obtain gifts for our clients. I recently needed a piece of glass cut to fit into a donated end table missing its glass. It was for the Open Door Exchange, whose warehouse is in Port Jefferson Station. I took a piece of glass we had, and Ace made the cut free of charge. Their help for not-forprofit organizations is very welcome. The Open Door Exchange collects gently used furniture for our neighbors in need. We accept gently used items and offer it free of charge to anyone needing help. No longer do you need to place your furniture curbside. Call the exchange to

schedule a pickup at 631-751-0176. Lastly, Three Village Meals on Wheels provides our neighbors in need with hot and cold meals five days a week. Wonderful volunteers deliver these meals to each client. During the winter months, some of these volunteers head South. We therefore need to rely on substitute drivers, which we are in need of right now. If you can spare two hours, one day a week, call the office, 631-689-7070. Also, call to refer anyone in need of receiving meals. We are fortunate to have these great organizations and businesses in our area. Let’s make sure to support them. Diane Melidosian Stony Brook

Democrats promised that they would fix the immigration system, so this would never be a problem again. The Dems never worked with the president and the Republicans to fix it and that is why we have this problem today. President Trump (R) should never

give in until he gets border wall funding. The agents at the border say they need the wall. The Dems should stop playing politics. Trump agreed to the wall and additional security measures. David Jacobson South Setauket

Opinion

Raising the bar beyond good enough

e’ve all had moments when we wonder: Is this good enough? The answer depends, in part, on the importance of the outcome. If we’re a cardiac surgeon and we have our hands inside the chest of someone who needs a new valve or stent, good enough doesn’t cut it. We need to make absolutely sure we’ve done everything we can D. None because no one of the above wants to open up BY DANIEL DUNAIEF someone’s chest a second time to correct a small error or to retrieve something we should have removed. If we’re driving a car on a slippery road, a

turn that’s good enough on a sunny day may not be sufﬁcient in the rain or on ice. We may need to slow down enough that we don’t need to hit the brakes as we head into the turn. Those are, of course, more extreme examples. Fortunately, most of us live in a world where what we do doesn’t seem so critical. We might be writing a paper about Shakespeare, ﬁling legal briefs, collecting receipts for tax purposes or shoveling snow from our driveway. Each of those tasks, in and of themselves, may not seem to require our best because we have better things to do, we want to get through the class, or we’re tired and we need to give ourselves a rest. Nonetheless, the smaller efforts can, and do, add up. When we’re shoveling snow, good enough might miss a slick patch of ice that our wife or best friend might slip on while they’re walking to the car. Going beyond good enough could prevent the discomfort or injury from falling. Even an essay about Shakespeare may

require us to think more deeply about what it means to be in love. Down the road, that might help when we’re considering ways to express our admiration or appreciation of a partner, giving us wisdom and words beyond our years. Great words boost the power of our sentiments, just as the sight of a whale breaching transforms a trip to the beach into a memorable outing. Of course, operating at full strength or beyond good enough for everything may be so physically and mentally draining that we might spend too much time on activities we consider trivial, leaving us with fewer resources to tackle bigger challenges. So, how do we determine the difference between an activity that requires us to be good enough and another responsibility that mandates something more? For starters, we may not be capable of more than a few extraordinary efforts in a day. That may be a product of how much sleep we get, how much we can control in our day or how we

feel, especially if we’re battling a head cold or some chronic condition. Keeping ourselves healthy and making sure we have enough energy can and will give us the ability to vault us over the good-enough threshold. Good enough can become a habit, just like so many other efforts. We can run a mile every other day or we can go a bit farther each time. We may ﬁnd that good enough for others, or even for former versions of ourselves, is just a start. We may raise the bar for the expectations we set for ourselves to the point where good enough today is so much better than earlier efforts. Routine or even mundane activities likely don’t require perfect performance. Doing them well, or even beyond “good enough,” keeps us sharp and focused for our more important tasks and also sets a good example for our children, who are watching and listening. We can and will improve our lives when we decide to raise our own expectations for good enough.

An attempt at midwinter inspiration, with some tongue in cheek

residents Day, as we honor those we hold on a pedestal, is a time for inspiration. Here are some inspirational sayings, some humorously so, that have been culled from the internet. 1.

of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present. (Alice Morse Earle) 15. Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. 16. You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and see what happens. (Mandy Hale) 17. When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you. (Lolly Daskal) 18.

powerful than one with all the facts. 24. One: Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two: Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose, and life is empty without it. Three: If you are lucky enough to ﬁnd love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away. (Stephen Hawking) 25. Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option. 26. Be with someone who knows exactly what they have when they have you. 27. Money talks … but all mine ever says is goodbye. 28. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. 29. Marriage is like a deck of cards. In the beginning all you need is two hearts and a diamond, but by the end you wish you had a club and a spade. 30. An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you. 31. Yawning is your body’s way of saying 20 percent battery remaining. 32. What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear!
