Three Village fathers come together to perform good deeds BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It may be Father’s Day June 16, but some local dads recently decided they would try a little giving instead of receiving. On June 3, members of the Facebook page Three Village Dads presented a check for $12,000 to Joan Alpers, director of Child Life Services at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. The group raised the money at a May 18 South Setauket Park barbecue and through a GoFundMe page. Child Life Services provides therapeutic, educational and recreational activities for children during hospital stays. “It is never easy to coordinate a giving event, but the Three Village Dads certainly went above and beyond all expectations,” Alpers said. “Our community donors help us to brighten the lives of kids and families during a difficult time. We are so grateful to this great group of community dads who chose to support all of the children in our community who struggle with illness and hospitalization.” Three Village Dads started six years ago as an offshoot of Three Village Moms. A year later, Stony Brook resident David Tracy joined. When he noticed there were only 20 or 30 members, and there wasn’t much interaction on the page, he asked the founder if he could take over as administrator. Tracy said the fathers talk about a range of topics from advice on lawn care to sports to politics and nothing is off limits. The group now has more than 900 members. “Once we got stronger and larger, we realized we could do a lot of good with it,” said the former

Marine, who now works for Homeland Security. The dads regularly meet at businesses owned by members, including O Sole Mio and Sweet Mama’s in Stony Brook, Maui Chop House in Rocky Point and Rolling Smoke Grill in Lake Ronkonkoma. Tracy said the group recently began discussing how they could contribute to the Three Village community. Three Village Dads was planning a potluck barbecue to get all of the families together, so

they decided to use the event as an opportunity to raise money for a nonprofit. After polling the members as to which organization they would like to contribute, Stony Brook Children’s Hospital was the most popular answer. Tracy said $8,500 was collected through GoFundMe, and more than 30 businesses that participated in the barbecue donated food or money to be part of the event. The group also raised money by selling raffles.

“I didn’t think we’d get past $5,000 much less $12,000,” Tracy said, adding that the achievement was eye-opening for him as far as the group’s potential. The day of the barbecue about 200 attended throughout the day, which included fire trucks from the Setauket and Stony Brook fire departments, bouncy houses, a DJ and more. Chris Carson, who has belonged to the group for three years, helped Tracy plan the barbecue. The South Setauket resident, who works for Suffolk County, said the more the fundraiser picked up steam the more drive the group had to raise more money and make the goal higher. “We’d hit the goal, and instead of stopping or patting ourselves on the back, we just set a higher goal for ourselves and kept moving forward and try to do as much as we could,” Carson said. The dads are hoping to hold an annual barbecue and are currently discussing future events to help in the community, the county employee said, including a golf outing to benefit the VFW Post 3054 East Setauket on Jones Street and a toy drive during the holiday season. “We’ve really built a sense of community, and there’s a good camaraderie with all the dads on the page to really come together and support the community and community businesses,” Carson said. The barbecue wasn’t the group’s first good deed. Earlier this year, 55 members donated blood and platelets at Stony Brook University Hospital’s blood bank.

Town

Supervisor Romaine speaks with residents on key 3V issues BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Residents filled the community room in the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library June 3 as the Three Village Civic Association hosted a conversation with Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) on all things townwide. Residents and Romaine were given the opportunity to discuss the latest issues impacting the Three Village area and beyond. Here are some important topics Romaine brought up during the conversation.

Route 25A corridor study

The town is conducting a two-phase study, starting from the Smithtown line to Nicolls Road. The second phase of the project will focus on the rest of Route 25A to the Poquott line. The origins of the study date back to 2016. “That, to me, is a very crucial thing as it sets the future of this town — I would like to see more urgency in it,” he said. “I feel like it has lagged.” The Brookhaven supervisor said he believes one of the reasons for the holdup is that the county is currently doing a retail study on the area. “I haven’t seen the study but people who have seen it have told me that the study will conclude that this area is under-retailed,” he said. “I’m no expert but I believe we are overretailed, I think we have enough and don’t need additional retail development.” Romaine said the corridor study is very important and urged residents to be involved in

the process. He also brought up zoning concerns. “One thing I learned during my time as a supervisor is that zonings are forever,” he said. “Once you zone something, you can’t take it away.” Romaine hopes that the corridor study will get done by the end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020. Romaine expressed concern with the proposed development of the 62-acre Flowerfield property, owned by Gyrodyne LLC and adjoining Route 25A in St. James, which is in the Town of Smithtown. “I am opposed to the development that would have any interconnection to any roads that would lead to Stony Brook Road,” he said. “We do not need any additional traffic on Stony Brook Road at all. If it connects to Stony Brook Road, it would be a disaster.” “I don’t want to see it overdeveloped, Romaine added. Similarly, on the topic of traffic on Stony Brook Road, he said that he proposed the need for a turning lane on Oxhead Road so university students can make a left turn onto Nicolls Road. Also, he has proposed to the county to develop a third lane from Route 347 to the Stony Brook campus to alleviate traffic jams.

Stony Brook University housing

Romaine said he still had a few issues with the university regarding student housing. One idea he proposed was the school could require all non-commuter students who are freshmen to be mandated to live on campus.

Proposed passive park

Recently, the Town of Brookhaven approved a resolution to allow Suffolk County to begin the process of purchasing land parcels which includes an old derelict building on the southeast corner of Gnarled Hollow Road on Route 25A. The resolution also authorizes the town to demolish the buildings on the property and maintain and manage the parcel as an open-space passive park.

“A lot of times we shut these houses down — it goes empty in the summertime and then back in the fall it gets filled up again,” he said. “I hope the next university president will have a stricter policy when it comes to rentals.”

Recycling

“We have a lot of students who are coming from other countries,” he said. “They may be having their first experiences in this country here.” The other issue he touched on is rooming houses, which he said are illegal in the Town of Brookhaven. “We have spent a lot of time in the past trying to crack down on these houses,” he said. Romaine said these owners have sometimes put up to eight or 10 students in these houses.

Residents were wondering what the town is doing to tackle the issue of recycling. “The recycling market collapsed last year when China stopped accepting 95 percent of recycled products,” Romaine said. The supervisor said they have looked at a few options, but nobody wanted what they had. The town had to reevaluate its recycling program and see what still had value. “We went back to dual stream and ended glass pickup because there really hasn’t ever been a true market for glass,” he said. Romaine mentioned the town had found a potential suitor in New Jersey that would take some of the collected glass and use it as an industrial abrasive. The Brookhaven supervisor said he would be open to discussing the recycling topic in more detail at a future meeting.

Brookhaven restarts talks on land use plan for 25A corridor

COMING TO SBU STALLER CENTER SUNDAY, JUNE 23, 2019 AT 7:30 PM

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The next phase of the 25A corridor study is set to begin. Late last month, the Route 25A Citizen Advisory Committee, town officials and community leaders met to begin discussing a land use code for the corridor. This code would regulate future development and architecture styles among other things in the area. The land use phase is one of the most significant land use initiatives affecting the community in years. George Hoffman, co-chair of the CAC, said he is excited for this next phase and to be working with this group of individuals. “This is where we can take a vision and be able to actually make an impact,” he said. The corridor study dates back to 2016 when the town appointed the CAC to assist them in the study and land use plan in the future development of the area. In 2017, the town came out with its Route 25A /Three Village Area Visioning Report. The report covered the hamlets of Stony Brook, Setauket and East Setauket. Its goal was to use the report as a tool to help achieve a corridor that has a well-functioning road, quality building, site design, improved pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly facilities and preserve historic and natural open spaces. Hoffman said 25A is an important and historical road that he believes should be protected. “The community has seen what has happened to Route 25 after it was turned into a highway,” he said. “They don’t want 25A to turn into Jericho Turnpike.” Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said the 25A corridor study is an important tool for land use planning in the community. “We have just entered into the second phase of this project and I look forward to working with the Citizens Advisory Committee and the community toward implementation of the community vision,” she said in a statement. “I am proactively advocating for this project to proceed as quickly as the process allows, and I will continue to look for public input and participation as we move forward.” Hoffman said with the land use phase they can apply what they learned in the vision report and decide if there needs to be any changes in zone codes. One option they are considering is a design manual for future development in the corridor. “We want to slowly over time make the architecture more consistent,” Hoffman said.

He said residents have expressed they would like the historical nature of the area to be preserved and be a kind of colonial rural community. The committee will look at all the available parcels in the corridor that could be developed to make sure they are appropriately zoned. Hoffman also mentioned areas of opportunity the committee and others will look at. One of them is Woods Corner, which is a commercial area east of Nicolls Road. He said he has gotten a sense from the community that there could be improvements to the signage of the commercial buildings. Another area is the East Setauket commercial corridor near Gnarled Hollow Road and East Setauket Pond Park. “The boarded-up building on the corner has been an eyesore for quite some time,” Hoffman said. “The county is attempting to purchasing it.” The first step is to get an appraisal on the land and then the owner of the property will be made an offer. Hoffman said the area is environmentally sensitive due to a stream flowing under the property into nearby waterways. The building’s basement was known to flood because of the running water. “Because there are no sewers in the area there are limitations on how large a building can be,” he said. The co-chair of the committee said they hope to take about six months on the land use plan process, and when completed, they will look to write an updated town zone code. If approved, it will be adopted by the town board.

D-Day vets share war stories BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Few D-Day veterans are alive today, but you can find three of them at Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University, where an award ceremony was held June 6 in honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day and Operation Overlord, the largest amphibious operation in military history. One hundred World War II veterans were presented with the Governor’s Proclamation for the occasion, while Phillip DiMarco and Frank DePergola were decorated with the New York State Conspicuous Service Cross and Charles Cino was decorated with the New York State Medal for Merit. All three men participated in the Normandy invasion. Ninety-seven-year-old DiMarco was among the first wave of soldiers to storm the beach. “I’m just grateful to have survived,” he said. Two-thirds of his fellow troopers perished in the first 30 minutes of battle, according to information provided by the state. “Our World War II heroes and heroines who came of age during the Great Depression, gave new meaning to the words, duty, service, sacrifice, courage and honor,” said Fred Sganga, executive director of the veterans home. “They answered the call to save the world from the two most powerful and ruthless military machines ever assembled, instruments of conquest in the hands of fascist maniacs.” War veterans often are understandably reluctant to talk about their horrific war experiences — it’s clearly too painful to relive. At their advanced ages, speaking also requires tremendous effort. Their stories live on through oral history and past memorials. But these men have stories to share from which history can be garnered. After 75 years, their summaries of what happened are often succinct and to the point. “There was this man who didn’t like Jews,

DADS

Continued from A3 Medicine, said donating blood at the hospital is essential since supplies are low. A member of Three Village Dads since last year, Rowe said he appreciated how many of the dads donated, adding that many who couldn’t donate came out to support the others. “It made me feel great not only because I’m a member of the community, a member of the group but I’m also an employee of the hospital,” he said. “It made me proud to be part of each one of those organizations.” The turnout didn’t surprise him as he said the members are always helpful whether asking for advice or looking to borrow power tools or a beaker for a science project.

and we got him,” 96-year-old DePergola said. DePergola was part of D-Day plus 10, meaning his troop arrived 10 days after the initial invasion. He was one of only four people to survive the war out of a platoon of 20, his daughter Jean Pulizzi said. In his campaign in Germany and Poland, DePergola encountered what they thought were abandoned buildings, only to discover upon entering about 30 captives: Jews, Catholics and Muslims. It was essentially a concentration camp. The stench inside, he said, was intense and unforgettable. The people, he said, were emaciated and wore black and white striped uniforms. “They were glad to see us,” DePergola said. Cino was 18 years old when he stormed the Normandy beaches. He was responsible for transporting under the cover of darkness thousands of troops in a landing ship tank, or LST, an amphibious boat capable of landing on shore carrying tanks, cargo and troops. Cino, when he heard it was the 75th anniversary of D-Day nodded, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. He could utter only one full sentence, “I was there.” Then he closed his eyes. Both DePergola and DiMarco, in addition to their experience at Normandy, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, the last major German offensive of World War II during the harsh winter in 1945. The D-Day ceremony included color guards and live musicians, who sang patriotic tunes and played the bugle. About half of the veterans in attendance were in wheelchairs, and despite their limitations, tapped their toes to the music. Many were able to salute the flag. Some veterans wiped tears from their eyes, particularly when the room sang the lyrics to “God Bless America.” During World War II, 900,000 New Yorkers went to the battlefield; 43,000 did not come home. The nation’s largest population of World War II vets live at Long Island State Veterans Home. For photos and the full article, visit www. tbrnewsmedia.com. “We really are a productive group of people,” he said. “We look out for each other. We look out for each other’s families.” Rowe said the group plans on organizing three blood drives a year with the next one scheduled for the end of June. When it comes to creating a group like Three Village Dads, Tracy said it takes more than just one person to make it successful and credits all of the members for playing a part in the success. “You really can’t force it,” he said. “It’s kind of a natural thing, and it has to take shape on its own.” To join the page, which is open to dads, brothers, uncles, grandfathers and sons of the Three Village Central School District, visit www.facebook.com and search for Three Village Dads.

Perspectives

A son’s thank you to his dad on Father’s Day My father, Salvatore (Sam) Soviero, was a loving, devoted husband, father and son. A robust, upbeat man, born in 1914 to Italian immigrants Vincenzo and Louise Soviero, Dad’s life by today’s standards was a tough one. Beginning at a very young age, he caddied, worked construction, ground the grapes for wine and wound up boxing to “put money on the table.” Given his extraordinary success as an adult, Dad rightly figured it would be smart to raise his son in pretty much the same way he was raised. Dramatic global changes notwithstanding, Salvatore would follow two basic principles: he’d set a good example and enforce firm limits. Sam lived an exemplary life. He was a man of great integrity who worked tirelessly to support his family. One of his most poignant lessons on “doing the right thing” came while he and I were going through some of his old fight posters. Sammy was a very good light heavyweight who had trained at Stillman’s Gym with top

fighters of the day. Pointing to one opponent, Dad said, “That guy cost me a shot at a big fight.” When I mentioned not recalling him losing to “that guy,” my father looked down, before quietly saying, “I didn’t.” At his beloved bride Dorothy’s insistence, and during the height of the Depression, Sal became a welder. After my older sister was born, he’d make extra money by working nights and clamming during the day. When we grew out of our tiny two-bedroom bungalow in Huntington Station, he and his brother Joe began dismantling one of Grandpa’s old houses. Over the course of several years, that brick and timber was used to build our family a beautiful, spacious Cape Cod in Halesite. Given that kind of legacy, when Dad interrupted what looked to be this 14-yearold’s summer fun at the beach with the news I’d begin caddying at the Crescent Club — and putting my earnings on the table — it seemed natural, even flattering.

to cause their children short-term pain, in exchange for what Mom and Dad hope will be long-term benefits. My father had uncanny commonsense instincts that led him to set perfectly timed restraints on yours truly. I, like virtually every 16-year-old boy, couldn’t wait to get my driver’s license. Dad, like most parents of a 16-year-old, knew the inherent risks. He responded proactively. My first moving violation meant Salvatore took my license for six months. An accident that was my fault cost me the car for a year. Some disciplined teenage driving meant I’d lose neither the car nor my life. Around the same time, over roughly a two-year period, four classmates died in horrific auto accidents, devastating the lives of their families and friends. Whether leading by example or setting firm limits, having Salvatore Soviero for my father was one of the greatest blessings any son could ever have asked for. Thanks for everything, Dad. Jim Soviero resides in East Setauket and is a former teacher in the Half Hollow Hills Central School District who renovated and built houses part-time just like his father.

Village

Poquott trustees address village issues before election BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM On June 18, Poquott residents will head to the polls to choose between four candidates vying for two trustee spots. This year’s incumbents Jeff Koppelson and John Richardson will go up against newcomers Felicia Chillak and Tina Cioffi. Paul Edelson is running unopposed for a four-year term as village justice. All four board members recently answered questions via email and phone.

Incumbents

Koppelson, 71, has served two two-year terms as trustee and since 2017 has been deputy mayor. A Poquott resident for 47 years, he is a retired director of a psychiatric treatment program. He and Cioffi are running on the Bright Side ticket. “I decided to run because there are a number of projects that I’ve been working on that are still in progress, such as developing a plan to stabilize Walnut Beach and continuing to rewrite our outdated village codes,” Koppelson said. The trustee said the language for many of the codes had to be updated to bring them into compliance and to make them consistent with each other. Codes often overlap, he said, and “a number of times one code said one thing and another code contradicted it.” Municipalities are now required to follow the International Building Code, which covers multiple construction and zoning issues. Koppelson said while a village can make a code stricter, it cannot make a code more lenient. “So, it is important that we have our codes not only comply but be distilled down to what we as a small village need to know,” he said, adding the village posts the codes on its website for easy accessibility for residents. After a code is rewritten, it is circulated among the board members for comments, and then a public hearing is held to give residents the opportunity to point out errors or inconsistencies before it is given to the village attorney. Richardson, 44, is completing his first term as trustee and last year ran for mayor against Dee Parrish. The New York City firefighter has lived in the village for nearly 18 years, and he is running in the We the People Party with Chillak. “I would like to keep some form of checks and balances on the board to prevent unfair laws and issues from being rubber stamped and pushed through and allow village residents more say on how their village is governed,” Richardson said. Richardson said he opposes the board’s plan to classifying a zoning violation as a misdemeanor and to request a search warrant to enter someone’s home for inspection as the village deems necessary. He added he feels the moves would be an overreach of the government. “I would like to curb the intrusive hostile

government laws trying to be passed,” Richardson said. Koppelson said Richardson’s objection is an example of codes needing to be updated, and a process was recently needed for emergency situations as one didn’t exist. For example, if it is believed there is a dangerous situation in a house and the owners don’t agree to an inspection, a search warrant is needed to evaluate the situation.

Challengers

Chillak, 61, is vying for trustee for the second time after an unsuccessful run in 2018 for a seat. A realtor with HR Realty since 1990, she has lived in Poquott for 29 years and has been a member of the Poquott Civic Association board since 2014. “I am running again because I feel there should be a balance on the board,” she said. “I will continue to review and analyze all changes made in our village. As always, I will seek residents’ input because this village belongs to them. I will be the voice of the voiceless.” She feels that many residents are hesitant to approach the board but feel comfortable talking to her, and she feels she can be a conduit between the village government and residents. “The Village of Poquott was formed because residents did not want outside influence controlling their everyday lives,” she said. “This current board seems to be bed rocked in government control. I will strive for a balance, so we can once again enjoy all the pleasures of residing in our little corner of heaven.” Cioffi, 50, is running for trustee for the first time. A former creative director in a Long Island-based advertising agency for 15 years, she has owned a marketing and communications consulting business since 2003. She has lived in Poquott since 2008, and her husband has owned their home since 1986. Cioffi said maintaining the village’s website and attending board meetings inspired her to get involved. “I saw a lot of good happening in our village as well a lot of controversy,” she said. “I saw both sides of most of the arguments and felt

that my background in communications might lend a hand in resolving some of the issues, so I volunteered to redesign the website as it was an area that all the candidates agreed needed to be addressed.”

Community dock

Poquott’s dock will officially open June 13, but for years it was a hot button topic in the village. The dock, located in California Park at the end of Washington Street, had been discussed by residents for nearly a decade, and while several protested the idea, the village board began the process of building one a few years ago. Richardson and Chillak feel the issue is behind the village now, but in the past, both called for a referendum for residents to vote on it as both candidates didn’t feel prior questionnaires that were mailed to residents about the dock were adequate. “The current board spoke, ignored the request of the people and for now, we have to move on,” Chillak said. “I will work toward that unity.” All the candidates feel there may be unforeseeable issues with the dock, and it will take a season of use to formalize guidelines. “We will need a season of using it to learn how to manage hours of usage, loitering and noise issues, and deployment of our code enforcement officers,” Koppelson said. “We also expect that there will be new, evolving issues that inevitably arise.” Richardson said he believes all aspects “of the dock should have been discussed and decided before the dock was built.”

Other issues

All four trustees agreed that there are issues outside of the dock to resolve in the village. Koppelson said the board has to address drainage issues in the village, and he would also like to work toward an affordable, shortterm solution to stabilizing what is left of Walnut Beach. He said the village also needs to develop a way to speed up the seasonal road repair process, which starts after the winter and involves the advertising of bids and then waiting for the next board meeting to open the bids and award the contract. This leads to work

not being completed until well into spring. Cioffi agreed that the village faces the degrading of Walnut Beach and infrastructure changes including repaving and drainage and lighting systems needing to be modified “but few of the residents want to incur the tax increase that would be required to fully accommodate those requests.” The candidate said she would like to work on feasibility studies that compare Poquott to other incorporated villages in order to find out where the village falls short and form committees with interested residents to work together with the board to obtain grants. “I think it’s going to be a multiphase endeavor similar to how the current board addresses issues now but on a larger scale and with more people involved to expedite the process,” she said, adding the new village website includes a community section to foster participation for resident-based clubs and organizations. Richardson and Chillak also agreed that there are issues regarding roads, lighting and drainage that need to be addressed with long-term plans. “There are residents that have spoken of their willingness to help,” Chillak said. “I will engage them to the best of my ability.” Chillak said the auditor’s last report was also troubling to her, and she feels finances are another major issue. She said even though the budget looks as if the village is on target, she feels the auditor’s comments at a recent village meeting point to the fund balance being dangerously close to low.

Unity

Many feel the community dock has caused divisiveness in the village over the years, but the candidates feel that can end. Cioffi said she ran a charity drive in December where she felt all the residents contributed generously, and if she’s elected, she plans on more community-based initiatives for children and teenagers to bring residents together. “The residents of Poquott share a lot of common ground and we need to build on it, not break it down,” she said. “Collaboration is key. If there is an issue, a black or white solution is not going to satisfy every resident. If I’m elected, I’m going to look for the solutions that strike compromises and land somewhere in between.” Richardson said nothing would make him happier than to see residents come together. “The polarization of neighbors has gone on too long,” he said. “It’s a shame, because it takes away from what makes Poquott such a great place. How do you facilitate that? I think it could start with neighbors sharing more hellos and handshakes, and less rumors, lies and insults.” The Village of Poquott will hold its annual election Tuesday, June 18, at Village Hall located at 45 Birchwood Ave. Polling will be open from 12 to 9 p.m. for voting.

Community members celebrate 10-year anniversary of greenway trail BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Countless runners, bikers and families enjoy the Setauket-Port Jefferson Station Greenway Trail every day, many unknowing to the fact that the 3.5-mile trail at one point was destined to be a highway. On June 8, residents, members of the Friends of the Greenway and the Three Village Community Trust as well as public officials gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the greenway trail opening at the midpoint of the trail — Lynx and Bobcat lanes. “I can’t tell you how happy I am that the trail is so actively used by so many different groups of people,” said Herb Mones, TVCT trustee. Mones said like any project it took a tremendous amount of planning and execution. The process began in 1999, when residents began discussing what to do with the land acquired in the 1960s by the New York State Department of Transportation that ran from parts of East Setauket to Port Jefferson Station. Initially the state wanted to create a bypass to Route 25A. “At first, many people didn’t understand how a pathway would work, because there was no example of it in the community,” Mones said. “People scratched their heads and said I don’t want that.” It took 10 years to figure out how the trail would look and feel. Along the way, residents began to recognize the benefits of a greenway/ bike trail. The TVCT also had help from public officials.

Residents, legislators and members of the Friends of the Greenway and the Three Village Community Trust, above, celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Setauket-Port Jefferson Station Greenway Trail.

Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) was one of the first to see the potential of a greenway trail in the area and was able to secure more than $2 million in funds for the initial build-out of the trail. On the federal level, former Congressman Tim Bishop (D) was able to obtain $5 million for the remaining sections of the trail. “It is really a testament to the community, volunteers and public officials to see this through,” Mones said. “Now this greenway is being used as a model for other trails being built in the county.” George Hoffman, co-chair of the Three Village Civic Association, remembers initially people were upset with the idea of a trail but now residents advertise their homes being on the greenway as a selling point. “This a great community resource,” he said. “Still some people don’t know this is here.” Charlie McAteer, chair of the Friends of the Greenway, said he was glad for the turnout. “Ten years ago we were at this spot, we had the support of the community, now you see what it had brought out, a three-mile trail that we all enjoy,” he said. “You see how many people use this trail. That’s what we intended.” The success of the greenway trail has inspired the future county project Rails to Trails, a 10-mile path that will run from Mount Sinai to Wading River. McAteer said he and the Friends of the Greenway are looking forward to helping with the project. Officials said they hope to break ground on the new trail sometime in fall 2019.

Letters to the editor

Celebrating Father’s Day STAR rebate shell game Rita J. Egan — Editor

On occasions like Father’s Day, my thoughts turn not only to my dad, but also to his parents and my uncles. My father passed away in 2004, and I always picture him reunited with his parents. Ten years ago, his brother, my Uncle John, died and a few years later my Uncle Jimmy. I often wonder if, after death, one gets to hang out with those they knew on Earth. I’d like to think they are talking about the old days in the Bronx and Astoria, hopefully with a few cold beers on hand. Most of all, I always hope that my grandparents know that my cousins and I benefited from their sacrifices — leaving Ireland when they were young adults to seek a better life. I also hope my father and uncles know how much they have influenced me and my cousins. For this, I carry them all in my heart. Happy Father’s Day in heaven to all of them.

Kyle Barr — Editor

I didn’t know what to say to you the night you came home after learning your mother had passed away. To be perfectly honest, she was never close to me, and it was hard for me to place my emotions, but I knew you were doing your best to deal with the shock and the grief. I saw you hop on a plane the very next morning after working nine hours the day before. I didn’t know how to say I’m sorry you went through that, and I know when I spoke to you on the phone, I must have sounded close to a narwhal trying to approximate human emotion. But I saw how you were when you came back. You caught up with your sister. You had a new plan, and though you were leaving me to move into her old house, you could now say you were moving on. You need to know how proud I am that you’re my dad.

David Luces — Reporter

On Father’s Day, I would like to highlight two father figures in my life growing up. One was my grandfather and the other my uncle. Both men were instrumental in my upbringing, and as a young man, they were individuals to whom I definitely looked up. I’m grateful for the experiences I’ve been able to have with them as a kid, whether it’s going to my first Yankee game or hours of playing catch in the backyard. My grandfather unfortunately passed away in 2012, but the lessons he taught me remain. His guidance over the years has molded me into the man I am today. The same could be said for my uncle, as he has always been there for me and continues to be. I’ve been lucky to have these two great men in my life. I want to thank them for everything — it has meant so much to me.

Leah Chiappino — Intern

Every time I turn on the car or reflect on the education I received, I have my dad to thank. The son of a mechanic and restaurant waitress, he fought to pull himself through college, working 80-hour weeks at Howard Johnson’s and attending classes at community college after working the graveyard shift, funded by his own pocket. A successful public servant, he has fueled my passion for politics, philosophy and sports my entire life. This Father’s Day, I will probably be debating one of these topics with Dad, who taught me to have an opinion on and to question everything.

As the Town of Brookhaven receiver of taxes, my staff and I are often asked by taxpayers to explain the various tax exemptions they may qualify for in an effort to reduce their property tax burden. While it’s true my office does not administer nor qualify residents for these tax exemptions, the phone number on the tax bill still rings in my office, and my staff and I are more than happy to advise and assist residents with questions concerning their bills. As an elected official, my standing policy has always been about providing full government transparency and providing outstanding constituent service. I have never shied away from providing information, guidance and advice to our residents and it is in this advisory capacity that I write this letter today. The recently passed budget included a provision inserted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) that has the potential for significant tax ramifications for Brookhaven Town property owners. Since its inception, the STAR rebate program has been administered locally by the town Assessor’s Office. That changed in 2015 when all new home purchases required an application for the STAR exemption through the New York State Department of Finance. Furthermore, the STAR savings would no longer appear as a credit on the property tax bill but rather

as a mailed check directly to taxpayers each October. The changes in 2019 however should be of particular interest to those taxpayers who receive the Enhanced STAR property tax exemption. Enhanced STAR is an income-based exemption, worth thousands of dollars to the many senior citizens who receive it. In many cases, this credit is a major factor in their ability to afford to stay in their homes. The governor has now modified the program to allow residents to receive their Enhanced STAR as a direct payment from New York State in lieu of the credit on the bill. The governor says that the change is needed to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of administration. So, to entice taxpayers, the governor is offering an additional 2 percent each year on top of the existing rebate for taxpayers that switch to check. This additional 2 percent averages about $46 a year. But the STAR tax credit has worked well in the past, why the change? The process of issuing checks benefits the state for several reasons: part efficiency, part bookkeeping ... part politics? In the old system, schools gave homeowners the STAR savings and were then reimbursed by the state — which appears as a budget expense for the state. With the new system, NYS gives the savings directly to the homeowners in a

If I tell you my story, I wonder what you will hear. What you will feel? I was 30. Two years into the fight for my life and talking with Dr. Y about my most recent symptoms, I will never forget the look on his face that I believe he meant to professionally conceal. His eyes were wide with concern, almost fear, when he asked me if there was any chance that I was pregnant. Lifting my arm to brush my teeth was a challenge, so physical intimacy was a rare event — plus I had always been extremely careful about using birth control. A little too firmly he told me we had to find out. He caught himself, softened his tone to remind me that the “big guns medicine” I was taking to keep me alive could have devastating effects on any baby.

A pregnancy would put my hard-won, fragile health at risk. A couple of hard weeks of waiting and that scare was put to rest. I cannot even begin to describe the relief, mixed in with the sadness, that I felt when it was confirmed that there was no pregnancy, no baby. I would not have to travel into the psychological hell of having to decide what to do, if I had been pregnant. I have always been behind a woman’s right to choose, but, like so many women, abortion is not a decision I could have reached without agony. I am usually very private about this part of my life, but access to both birth control and abortion are becoming severely limited in some parts of the country. I feel compelled to speak on

check payment. That means the state can count the checks as a “personal income tax credit,” allowing it to count the checks as a reduction in tax revenue, and not as state spending. This “reduction in expenses” is an important accounting distinction as it allows for the governor’s budget to more easily stay within his self-imposed 2 percent tax cap. As it relates to the income-based Enhanced STAR exemption, a very important question needs to be asked: Will seniors who opt-in and receive the check have that payment classified as income and therefore subject to both NYS and federal income tax? Furthermore, will residents receiving Enhanced STAR who are close to the income limit actually lose their exemptions based on this new income? I believe these open questions need to be clarified before anyone makes the switch. Therefore, I am cautioning Town of Brookhaven residents currently receiving STAR and more specifically, Enhanced STAR, to consult with their tax professionals for advice given their unique situations. No need to jump in, the program allows for open enrollment at anytime, there is no deadline. Please carefully consider your options — the financial stakes are too high to risk the loss of such a valuable exemption. Louis J. Marcoccia, Receiver of Taxes, Town of Brookhaven

behalf of any young women who are in the same place I had been. Women physically unable to lift a baby from a crib. Women who love and want to be loved, while they are living the nightmare of illness. Are they and their partners to be condemned to a life of celibacy? A life lived without the freedom to experience the fullness of love? Because birth control does fail, pregnancy can be a very real death sentence. So please sit quietly in my shoes. We can’t always see another’s inner challenges. Pray into my story if prayer is your way to understanding. What might your compassionate answer be? Help me to understand.

Sharing top 10 fake news items in my world

am in the news business. I also write columns. Today, I’d like to conﬂate the two, tackling the ubiquitous topic of “fake news.” Don’t run away, ﬁguratively speaking! I’m not going to write about politics or politicians. I’m going to share fake news from my world. 10. I am a Yankees fan. What makes that fake? It’s accurate, but it’s also fake because I’ve always been a Yankees fan. While D. None the statement isn’t of the above false, it’s not news BY DANIEL DUNAIEF because news suggests that it’s something new. It’s not fake per se, but also not news and that’s what makes it fake news.

9. I enjoy the time my kids are away. What makes that fake? The fake element to this is that I enjoy the time they’re home, so I don’t exclusively enjoy the time they’re away. I may have smiled at and with my wife and, yes, I’ve found myself laughing out loud now and then for no particular reason in public, knowing that no one will glare at me, but it’s fake news to suggest I only enjoy this time. 8. I reveled in the movie “Rocketman.” What makes that fake? While the movie was compelling and it offered details about superstar singer Sir Elton John’s childhood, it was a look behind the curtain at his early pain. I sympathized with him as he dealt with family challenges and personal demons, but I can’t say that I reveled in the biopic. I felt moved by his struggles and I appreciate how much he had to overcome to live the balanced life that he seems to have now. The gift of his musical genius may have been enough for the world to appreciate him, but not to give him what he wanted or needed when he was younger. 7. I have a wonderful dog. What makes that fake? My dog has wonderful

moments, but I wouldn’t characterize him as wonderful. He needs training, chews on furniture, jumps on people and barks at things I can’t see, which isn’t so wonderful when I’m conducting interviews with people in other states or when I’m in the middle of a delicate peace negotiation between children who don’t seem to have missed each other all that much when they were apart. 6. I detest logic. What makes that fake? I enjoy logic. It follows rules and patterns. It only appears that I detest logic in this column because I’m trying to make a point about fake news. 5. I’m worried about the Earth. What makes that fake? I’m not just worried about the land: I’m also concerned about the air, the water, biodiversity and a host of other limited resources. 4. I use real words. What makes that fake? People who rely on a computer spellchecker will ﬁnd numerous words that appear to be incorrect or that are underlined in red in my science columns. Words like nanomaterials, which are super small structures

that hold out hope for future technologies such as medical devices or sensors, don’t register at all. If you asked a spellchecker, my columns are rife with fake words. 3. I use fake words. What makes that fake? I love the double negative element to this. It’s fake to say I use fake words, because I also use real words. 2. I only use small words. What makes that fake? I categorically refute the notion that I only use minuscule words. Check out the word “ubiquitous” at the top of this column. 1. I always lie. What makes that fake? If I always lied, that would make the confession true, which would mean I don’t always lie, which would make the statement fake. The ﬂexible and logic-challenged fake news has become a tool to dismiss information, opinions and realities that people ﬁnd disagreeable. It provides a convenient way to ignore news that may have more than a kernel of truth to it.

The best advice I have ever been given

hat’s the best advice you’ve ever received? I recently asked that question of staffers at the news media ofﬁce, and this is what they answered. I’ve grouped the responses by department, wondering if there was a common thread that ran through their common work. Answer: There wasn’t, at least not one that I could see. You judge. The Sales Department “Go to college.” I also asked this person if that advice had changed her life. “Yes, it was a positive Between thing for my future. you and me College changed BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF my life, with its new ideas — and independence, both socially as well as academically.” “No matter what, trust that God has a plan for everything. For something good to come out of

whatever seems bad now.” Right around then, I started to ask the source of the advice. “My mother,” she explained. “One day, when I was about 12, my mother and I were disagreeing. ‘You need to remember the world does not revolve around you.’ That thought helped me be a much less self-centered person. I became more aware that what was going on around me was often more important.” “Never look back or to the future. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not yet come. Live for today. That came from my Aunt Doris.” “If at ﬁrst you don’t succeed, don’t give up. That came from my mother and was especially true for my dancing. Another is: Always trust your gut. Go with it if something doesn’t feel right.” The Business Department “See the humor in things. It’s only just recently that I have begun to see that and be on the positive side of things. That has made me a happier person since I turned 50.” I forgot to ask who told her that. “Expect the unexpected. That may sound pessimistic but it has made me ready to cope. That advice comes from life’s experiences.” “Treat others as you want to be treated. That

came from my father.” The Copyediting/Proofing Department “Have a sense of balance. That’s good because often I don’t have that. When I think about that, it always works out for the best. And that came from my sister.” “Probably two things. First, never stop learning. At the dinner table, if there was something that came up that I didn’t know, my father would take down the ‘World Encyclopedia’ after dinner and we’d look it up. Be curious, educate yourself. Read about it. Second, be kind and treat other people with respect. Again the source was my father.” “Learn to cultivate a sense of urgency. I tend to be too laid back. That’s from Dr. Who, the sci-fi character.” [That thought came from the sister, above.] The Art and Production Department “Try not to care what other people think. It’s a constant struggle because I am a Libra, a people pleaser. That came from my mother, who oddly enough was always critical.” “Stop worrying. My husband told me that, and I find I’m not as uptight as I used to be.” “Having low expectations is a good strategy. Don’t expect too much and you won’t be

disappointed. That may sound pessimistic but the message is that things will always be better. The source: Stefan Sagmeister, who wrote a book that included things to be learned.” The Editorial Department “Don’t listen to outside people. If you think of something you really believe in, just go for it.” “This paraphrased quote from Maya Angelou: ‘People will forget what you did, what you said but never how you made them feel.’ My firstgrade teacher made me feel mutual respect and that is what I show others.” “Keep swimming — no matter what’s going on in your life, never give up, keep going. I never gave up on dating [points to engagement ring] or careerwise. From ‘The Road Less Traveled,’ life is difficult and once you realize that, life becomes easier.” “Always clean stuff from the top down. Don’t do anything over again — from my father.” “I will quote what a priest told my father when he was diagnosed with cancer. ‘All you can do is be grateful for what you’ve had. Otherwise it’s too difficult.’” And from my mother: “You don’t have to answer every barking dog.” Not a bad piece of advice for a future newspaper publisher.
