Suffolk County Landbank worksAviation to findSuperfund solutionsSite:forPreferred blightedConceptual Port JeffRedevelopment Station property Lawrence Scenario BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Suffolk County Landbank Corporation has been reaching out to local organizations to discuss ideas for the future of a 126-acre Superfund property in Port Jefferson Station. Acting as a liaison between the federal government — which now owns the Lawrence Aviation Industries property on Sheep Pasture Road — the SCLBC has been reaching out to community members to see what they would like to see be done with the property. Recently, the nonprofit’s president, Sarah Lansdale, has been meeting with members of local chambers and civic associations about the property. The SCLBC has also reached out to elected officials such as county Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and briefed the two school districts affected by the site due to unpaid property taxes: Comsewogue and Three Village. According to Peter Scully, deputy Suffolk County executive and SCLBC board member, the landbank had been authorized by the state Legislature to facilitate cleanup of blighted sites, and then return the properties to the county tax rolls. The SCLBC is involved in discussions with both the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Federal Department of Justice to talk about the future of the Lawrence Aviation property “and trying to make sure the community has some input into the future use,” Scully said. One suggestion that has been considered is using a portion of the site as a Long Island Rail Road yard to facilitate electrification of the Port Jefferson Branch, he said. Scully added finding a suitable location along the branch for the railyard has been somewhat of a challenge with most of the communities fully developed. Lansdale said that the land bank has received information from the Long Island Rail Road about what the environmental impact would be if the Port Jefferson Branch — from Huntington to Port Jefferson — were to be electrified. “We would avoid approximately 7,800 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year,” Lansdale said. Other suggestions for the site from the community that have been discussed with the EPA and DOJ have been preserving part of it as open space and the possibility of allowing the section that has been developed in the past being available for redevelopment for light industrial purposes. There have also been suggestions to use the property for solar panels on the industrial core of the property. According to Scully and Lansdale, the federal government has invested more than

The Suffolk County Landbank Corporation has been reaching out to community members for their feedback regarding the Lawrence Aviation property in Port Jefferson Station. Suggestions have included allowing the Long Island Rail Road to haveLight a railyard property, installing panels *As-of-right Industrial on usesthe consistent with the Lawrencesolar Aviation overlayon the industrial core of the property and using some parcels for open space.

$50 million into the property. “Generally what the federal government will do will be to try and recover as much of the funding that it has expended as it possibly can, and typically when the government does that, it looks at what assets are available that it could use,” Scully said, “And in this instance, the only real asset is the real property. And so, in the absence of any sort of other arrangement or agreement, the federal government would likely just auction the property off.” Scully said the outreach has been well received by community members. “I think there’s a general appreciation on the part of these stakeholders that under a more conventional scenario, if the federal government was simply to auction off this property to the highest bidder on the town hall steps, the ability to shape future uses to meet community needs would be lost,” he said. In a May 19 letter on behalf of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Mark Lesko — the former Town of Brookhaven supervisor — addressed to U. S. Magistrate Judge Anne Shields, Lesko stated that the U.S. and county “have made signiﬁcant progress toward resolution of their outstanding

issues, though not all matters are resolved.” An additional status report will be submitted to the district court on or before June 18. The property, which was deemed a Superfund in 2000, has been surrounded by controversy since the early 1980s when the Suffolk County Department of Health issued a series of recommendations for the former defense contractor to be compliant with several pollution control laws. An April 2019 article in The Port Times Record reported that in 1999, testing performed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation revealed contamination of groundwater and surface water at the site. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Ofﬁce in a 2019 memorandum, LAI used a front-end loader to crush 55-gallon drums containing hazardous substances which led to discharge of waste directly into the ground. The drums were among more than 1,600. Gerald Cohen, former CEO of Lawrence Aviation, was ordered to pay $48 million in cleanup costs for the toxic underground plume caused by materials leached into the ground on the property. The EPA’s cleanup on the site has included

the treatment of contaminated groundwater using two groundwater treatment systems to decrease the size of the groundwater plume. One system is on the property while the other is in the village of Port Jefferson, according to Scully. Regarding property taxes, Lansdale said 2020 taxes associated with Lawrence Aviation are in excess of $860,000. She added that “some parcels have been delinquent since 1993.” “Every year that [taxes] haven’t been paid, Suffolk County taxpayers have been forced to bear the expense of making the other taxing jurisdictions whole,” Scully said, adding that means for school districts, ﬁre districts and libraries. “The tax burden associated with this property has been extreme,” he said. While the county would typically take ownership of a property for nonpayment of taxes, when it comes to an environmental impairment such as Lawrence Aviation, the current situation absolves county taxpayers from the liabilities associated with environmental impairment, which would have a higher ﬁnancial impact.

Education

WMHO connects students through virtual learning

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Ward Melville Heritage Organization has created a virtual bridge across the Long Island Sound for students on both sides of the waterway. On Tuesday, June 1, WMHO unveiled Long Island Sound Connections, its new STEM and conservation program at the Erwin J. Ernst Marine Conservation Center on Trustees Road by West Meadow Creek. Students from Selden and Bridgeport, Connecticut, participated from their classrooms via Zoom, while WMHO trustees members and grant donors looked on from the center. Dr. Robert Park from the Fullwood Foundation, one of the donors, also joined virtually.

Students from Selden Middle School in Michelle Miller’s sixth-grade science class and Julianne Biagioli’s seventh-grade science class in the Bridgeport school district discussed their studies in the June 1 presentation. The students were able to show how urban and suburban communities have contrasting situations, where the Selden students have the 88-acre preserved wetlands of West Meadow Creek only miles away from them, and the Bridgeport students live in a city where former wetlands were developed decades ago. The organization’s virtual, cooperative learning is led by Deborah Boudreau, WMHO’s director of education. “It’s an opportunity for students to research their local Long Island ecosystems, and share what they learned about those ecosystems to learn how we can best preserve all the animals and plants that depend on these ecosystems,” Boudreau said. She told the students during the June 1 class that the teachers wanted to hear from them as much as possible. “I want to say that this program is very much about the students and your data and your research and your ideas,” she said. “You are the future of our wetlands. You are the ones that are going to carry that forward.” During the presentation, students compared findings about the wetlands as well as species that would normally be found in waterways including lobsters and horseshoe crabs, which Bridgeport students found recently in mudflats. Naturalist and environmentalist Patricia Paladines, from Setauket, was on hand to provide a presentation on horseshoe crabs for

the students. She found one in West Meadow Creek June 1 that was injured and explained it would heal. Paladines told students, while holding the crab for them to see, that a lot of people are afraid of its long tail, but it doesn’t sting. “A lot of people are afraid of them because they have this long tail here, which is called a telson, but it’s not to hurt you — it’s not to protect itself, it’s a rudder,” she said, adding that the tail was moving at the time because

the crab wanted to turn over from its back to being right-side up. The program will continue throughout the month with various schools participating where they will compare and contrast data such as water salinization, marine species inventory and more. Gloria Rocchio, WMHO president, said the program was made possible by grants from the Fullwood Foundation, Investors Foundation and Teachers Federal Credit Union.

Three Village school board gives failed budget a second try BY ANDREA PALDY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Three Village Central School District Board of Education will put its rejected budget up for a second vote. At its May 25 meeting, the board elected to resubmit the failed budget unaltered for taxpayers’ approval. “Since this is what the majority supported, this is what we should put forward,” said Jeff Carlson, deputy superintendent for business services, during a phone interview last week. Although 57.7% of taxpayers voted in favor of the $222.6 million budget — 2,2861,677 — it failed to pass. That was because the proposed budget pierced the 1.37% cap on the tax levy increase, necessitating a supermajority approval, or 60% of the vote, to pass. The failed budget has a tax levy increase of

1.85%, which officials say would bring in an additional $777,000 in revenue and represents a tax levy difference of $58 per year for the average taxpayer. “We want to get back on track” and position the district for long-term financial stability, Carlson said of the decision to pierce the cap. After spending close to $7 million from district reserves to enable a full reopening last September, the district needs to start paying itself back. It has budgeted about $800,000 to do so in the coming year. Carlson added that the district needs to have flexibility in its budget in case there is a resurgence of COVID-19 in the fall. After a year of having schools open to all students every day, “we don’t want to go backward,” he said. The district is receiving $1.85 million in federal aid, which is earmarked for COVID-

related expenses. While some districts received much larger allocations and must spread out their spending, Three Village does not have such restrictions, Carlson said. District officials would like to use the money over the next two years. Carlson explained that a one-time use would create a gap in the budget that would then need to be filled in the following year. If the budget fails again, there will be no increase to the tax levy. That would mean a shortfall of about $3 million and that major construction or improvements to district property would not take place. Carlson said during the interview that it would not be disastrous, and the district would “make it as painless as possible for the kids.” He also said the district would then use all of the federal money for the coming year.

Cuts would likely be made to some electives, and class sizes might increase on a district level, Carlson said. He added that funds budgeted for capital projects, which under a passed budget could only be used for building repairs and other maintenance and improvements, could be shifted to other areas of the budget. “Our buildings are in good shape,” he said, and it would be better to put capital projects on hold for a year rather than adversely impact academic programs. The budget hearing was due to be held Wednesday, June 2. The revote will take place, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday, June 15, at Ward Melville High School located at 380 Old Town Road. The vote will take place in one location to make it easier for community members to know where to go, Carlson said.

Hahn, who is also deputy presiding officer of the county Legislature, announced in a press release June 2, her bid to be the next congresswoman for New York’s 1st Congressional District. The seat is currently held by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) who has his eyes on the New York State governor’s seat in 2022. The June 2 event was organized for Hahn to make her first public remarks about her decision. When she was younger, Hahn was a waitress at the Three Village Inn.

Danger ahead TVCSD budget revote – vote ‘no’ again

With the Memorial Day weekend behind us, it’s time to enjoy outdoor get-togethers such as barbecues and lazy days on the beach. Unfortunately, this time of year also means more drivers under the influence on our roads and more inexperienced ones, too. When attending a party, it’s pretty simple. If you plan on drinking alcohol or ingesting other substances that can impair your senses, make sure you have a plan. There is no excuse for driving under the influence. Once upon a time, someone who planned on drinking needed to have a designated driver, plan to sleep over at the place where they were partying or call a taxi. Sometimes many partiers found themselves with a designated person who decided they would have a little fun, too. Or, with no room to sleep at the house where the party was held or a taxi that never showed up, they then got behind the wheel of a car and took off. Nowadays, with phone apps to order car services such as Uber or Lyft, there’s no excuse for driving under the influence of any substance. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2019, 10,142 people lost their lives due to drunk-driving crashes in the U.S. That’s 10,142 lives that were lost unnecessarily. But there is even more to watch out for on the road during those hot months besides drunk drivers. Memorial Day to Labor Day has become known as the “100 deadliest days” of the year as the teen driver death rate increases. According to AAA, from the unofficial start of summer to its unofficial end, there are “more fatal crashes per day, on average, involving teen drivers compared to the rest of the year.” A study by AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found more than 7,000 teens died in such crashes from 2010-19 in the U.S. In New York state, during the same period, 473 teen drivers died in car crashes. Risk factors include teens lack of driving skills and experiences behind the wheel and the unstructured time that summer brings with kids out of school and not having as many activities such as sports and clubs. There are also other risk factors such as texting while driving, running red lights, driving aggressively and not wearing a seat belt. What can one do when they’re traveling the roads besides watching out for drivers who are weaving in or out or running red lights? The best thing is to set an example of good driving habits on the road, especially when young people are in the passenger seats, which means cinching that seat belt, no texting or talking on the phone, no eating or drinking while steering. And to play a part in keeping impaired drivers off the road, of course, when you’re hosting a party, make arrangements for your guests who will be indulging themselves. The summertime should be time for fun, not for tears. Let’s keep the roads in our community safe, not only for the next few months but all year long. It just takes making a few wise decisions.

On June 15 our school district is resubmitting the tax-cap busting budget the community just rejected, with voting restricted to Ward Melville High School. Pity seniors facing long walks and waits in a crowded room with no air conditioning on a hot June day. Serves these likely “no” voters right, I suppose. Actually, the district has no need to grab an ever-increasing amount of our hard-earned money. It is already overfunded and will soon receive large dollar infusions from Washington and Albany through the trillion/billion-dollar generosity of President Joe Biden [D] and Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D], respectively. This proposed budget raises per pupil expenditure to a stunning $41,000. That is a 70% increase since only 2011. Of New York state school districts with enrollments of 5,000 or more, our district ranks first in per

pupil expenditure. For all state districts it ranks among the top 6%. Nationwide, it stands among the top 3%. Alas, U.S. News ranks Ward Melville 170th (11th percentile) among New York state public high schools. Seemingly, money fails to buy not only love, but superior educational performance. This stupendous increase in perpupil expenditure represents continuous above-inflation tax levy increases and collapsing enrollment. K-12 enrollment peaked at 8,004 in 2004, is now only 5,456 and on current trends will fall to about 4,400 by 2028. The district has betrayed its fiduciary duty to expend public monies prudently by not restructuring to serve its much fallen and falling enrollment. It surely has plentiful room for savings and economies without plundering villagers yet again. It should be noted that this budget also expands pupil

courses and services. This revote also brings voter suppression to the Three Villages by limiting voting to Ward Melville. Shameful, shameful. Complain to recently elected Brookhaven Town Councilman Kornreich [D-Stony Brook]. Wait! He is a board of education member. What say the village and town Democratic clubs of this blatant voter suppression? State Assemblyman Englebright [D-Setauket]? Ask them! In particular, what say the recently elected, teacher union backed, board of education trustees, given their talk of taxes spent “in the most efficient way,” “the democratic process” and “transparent communication.” Your comments, please, trustees. I trust hypocrisy will not be the tribute that vice will be paying to virtue (La Rochefoucauld). Graham Kerby Setauket

Is the 3VCSD trying to keep revote a secret I was recently informed by a Three Village Central School District parent about the budget revote on June 15 and, unless things change, the only polling site will be Ward Melville High School. Evidently the only way to find this out is on the school district’s website which, unless you have a school-age student, is not typically viewed by district residents. On Memorial Day, I drove past Gelinas and Murphy junior high schools, two of the original polling places, and there were no signs — none at all. Why would that be? The sign on Nicolls Road by the district building and one by Setauket Elementary School on Main Street still read “Budget Vote,” not “Budget Revote,” and those driving

by can mistake it as the original sign for the vote. This is a revote and should be clearly noted as such along with information on polling changes. The district is not changing anything, it is still breaking the tax cap. Keep in mind the increase in federal and state aid to Long Island school districts is a massive, historic $1.27 billion. NYS alone is boosting funding to NassauSuffolk region by $417 million which is three times higher than the typical raise in recent years. The region’s districts are getting $327 million in an earlier stimulus from former President Donald Trump [R] and President Joe Biden [D] signed a stimulus initiative for $529 million last month. This from

the website of state Sen. Anna Kaplan [D-Great Neck] and originally published in Newsday. The last vote was very close and perhaps the imprecise promotion of the revote will get the TVCSD what they want. Funny, after moving into the Three Village area decades ago, a group of people were complaining about their property taxes. One longtime resident said, “If you think your property taxes are too high, the school district’s budget is the main reason why. Check your property tax bill.” Also, you don’t need a child in the school to vote ... everyone’s taxes go up. Joanne Tereshko Setauket

Zeldin doesn’t deserve to be governor U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] has voted to remove Congresswoman Liz Cheney [R-WY] from her Republican leadership position in the House of Representatives. This after she spoke truth to power in sharing her belief that President Joe Biden [D] won the election, and that the Jan. 6 attack on our Capitol was encouraged by our former President Donald Trump

[R]. State governors, Republican and Democratic, have accepted the results of the election. Because millions more citizens voted for the president than his opponent, Biden won in the Electoral College. The Supreme Court has ruled that the election results showed our president won. Zeldin continues to question the election results and to unseat truth-

telling Cheney from her House GOP leadership position. He has downplayed the seriousness of the invasion of our Capitol. For these reasons he does not deserve to continue as our representative in Congress, and certainly not to be the governor of our state.

Opinion The welcome return of planning during the summer of 2021

’m not much of a planner. I put together professional plans, creating a schedule for stories I’d like to research and write, and I coordinate calls and meetings all week, but I don’t tend to go through the calendar to figure out when to visit socially with friends and family or to attend cultural events. This summer, however, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to look at the calendar and consider a D. None wide range of activities of the above that would have been BY DANIEL DUNAIEF difficult or impossible a year ago. I’m delighted to plan to visit with my extended family. I haven’t seen my brothers in over 19 months. I have visited with them on the phone

and zoom, but that’s not nearly the same thing as seeing them in person, throwing a ball with them, flying a kite off the beach or just sitting on the couch and having a free-flowing conversation. I am also delighted to consider planning a trip to museums. On one of our first dates, my wife and I went to the Metropolitan Museum, where we wandered slowly through the exhibits, continuing to build on our relationship even as we studied the artifacts left behind by the generations that fell in love and married hundreds of years earlier. I recall wandering through those wide hallways close to a quarter of a century ago, listening to my wife’s stories and delighting in laughter that, even now, provides validation and meaning to each moment. I am hoping to travel to Washington, D.C., this summer, to see the air and space museum. Each of the planes hovers overhead, and the space capsules from the early days of the NASA program are inspirational, giving me a chance to picture the world from a different vantage point, seeing the shimmering blue

waters that cover the Earth. I have watched planes fly overhead throughout the pandemic, but I haven’t ventured to the airport or onto a plane. I’m looking forward to the opportunity that flight provides to turn trips that would take over 10 hours into one- or twohour flights. Visiting family, friends and strangers in different areas, eating foods that are different and unfamiliar and experiencing life outside of the small circles in which we’ve restricted ourselves opens up the possibilities for the summer and beyond. My son can prepare for the start of college and my daughter for a return to college with the hope that they can enjoy more of the academic, social, extracurricular and community service experiences that they imagined when they envisioned these years of growth, development and, hopefully, independence. I spoke with a scientist recently who told me that the inspiration for a work he’d just completed came from a conversation he had during a

conference a few years ago. He had been sitting in an auditorium, listening to a speech, when he and a stranger exchanged thoughts about the implications of the work. From that interaction, he started a new project that became a productive and central focus of his research efforts. As soon as conferences are back on the calendar, he hopes to return to the road, where such unexpected and unplanned conversations can trigger inspiration. To be sure, I recognize that the realities of travel and planning don’t always dovetail with the hopes and expectations. I recently visited with our extended community at a social gathering, where I stood downwind of someone who wore so much cologne that I couldn’t taste the food I was eating. I’m sure there’ll also be lines, traffic jams and literal and figurative turbulence as I leave our home cocoon. Still, this summer, I’ll be grateful for the opportunity to do so much, including and especially, the chance to plan.

Our first trip after being vaccinated against COVID-19 was a celebration

ongratulations are in order for this past weekend’s activities. First and most importantly, my youngest grandchild graduated from high school last Friday. What a lovely milestone for him, one not to be missed by us. We decided to drive there, the 11-hour trip notwithstanding, rather than deal with the inevitable crowds and COVID risks and restrictions at the airport. But so much more had to be factored into our plans. Why, I wondered, would a school arrange for graduation Between during Memorial Day you and me weekend? This was BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF an especially puzzling question as reports were warning of major travel activity by car and plane. Over 37 million people were expected to venture more than 50 miles away from home, a 60% increase above last year, with a big post-pandemic breakout looming. Clearly this situation called for some careful

strategizing. First we called and secured reservations at a hotel near the school. This was going to be more than a one-day trip. That was the easiest part. Then we decided to start right after work on Tuesday evening since that would probably beat the traffic leaving the Island for the weekend. We would drive as far as we could before stopping at a roadside lodging for the night, which we figured would give us a good head start on the trip for the following day. Next we thought to pick up some sandwiches for dinner in the car on our way out of town. We ordered those in advance, as well as the much loved chocolate chip cookies from the local bakery to bring my family. And we would stop for a package that a friend, who lives near my grandson, requested we bring to her. We followed the plan. After five hours of night driving with blissfully no traffic, we saw a sign for a familiar hotel at the next exit and drove off the highway feeling quite ready for a good sleep. Our first problem was that, in our haze, we couldn’t immediately find the hotel. After a bit of exploring and a U-turn, we did and pulled into a parking lot that looked ominously full. When we tried the front door, it was locked.

Fortunately, as we stood there in a fatigued stupor, a worker at the hotel came along and opened the door for us. She then called to the clerk behind the front desk, who had appeared from nowhere, and who told us what we feared: no rooms available. She directed us to the next hotel down the highway. “But wait,” the first worker said as she scooted around behind the desk, “let me look at the register.” After several minutes, she found an unfulfilled reservation for a room on the fourth floor and offered it to us. Relief! The next day, we happily arrived at our destination by mid-afternoon. I don’t have to tell you how wonderful it was to come together with family we had not seen in over a year, to hug them and note how the children had grown, and talk with them in person for hours. Thursday, other members of the extended family arrived, everyone in a happy mood, and Friday, under a beautiful blue sky, we all went to the commencement and cheered mightily as our grandson walked on stage, shook the president’s hand and received his sheepskin. We, of course, celebrated the rest of the day and well into the evening. It felt a little unreal

to be casually chatting together after the year of pandemic isolation, something we would otherwise, in earlier times, so taken for granted. Now came the tricky part: when to leave for the drive home through the midst of the holiday weekend. We had decided on Saturday, hoping that was a good travel day, when most people would already have gotten to their destinations and before they would have started to return. Picking up some provisions for the car ride, we filled the gas tank and left in the morning for home. There was never any serious traffic along the route. Score one for strategy, another for luck. And another for appreciation and gratitude for all that we would have simply accepted prepathogen as our due.

Correction:

Last week’s Between You and Me column, titled “Two new trends for improving mental health,” contained incorrect information about philanthropist Ward Melville and CVS. In 1969, CVS was sold to the Melville Corporation, which was started by Ward Melville. We regret the error.
