Town planning board stops construction on shopping center BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

PEOPLE of the YEAR

RITA J. EGAN

The future of a Stony Brook shopping center has been put on hold until the Town of Brookhaven’s Planning Board members get some answers. At the town’s Sept. 17 planning meeting, representatives for Little Rock Construction and its president Parviz Farahzad were seeking approval for modifications that were made to site plans to Stony Brook Square, a shopping center under construction across from the Stony Brook train station on Route 25A. A stop work order was issued after town inspectors discovered discrepancies between the site plans and what has already been completed on the construction site. Among the modifications were the changing of two building locations, handicap accessible parking, cross access and grading. Farahzad’s attorney, Hauppauge-based Tim Shea, contacted Three Village Civic Association representatives Herb Mones, chair of the association’s land use committee, and George Hoffman, 1st vice president of the association, Sept. 24 to go over the modifications, according to Mones. “It’s so hard to believe that these kinds of

major changes would be made to the site plan without any type of authorization or approval,” Mones said in a phone interview, adding in the past the town, civic association and community members provided input for the location’s plans. Mones said a major objection from members of the civic association is the entryway changing from the initially approved 24 feet to 30. This adjustment means the largest building on the property is shifted 5 feet to the west from the original plans and closer to the historic home on the 3-acre site that Mones said during 25A visioning community meetings residents felt was essential to preserve and feature in the project. At the Sept. 17 meeting, Farahzad’s engineer Michael Williams said his office was contacted earlier this year by the applicant to review claims by the site contractor that there were issues with Americans with Disabilities Act compliance in front of the building. He said the cross slope through the handicap accessible parking and access aisle was too steep pursuant to federal regulations. To alleviate the issue of the ADA ramp’s cross slope, the elevation of the site closest to the driveway entrance was changed, and the site was flattened, which increased the size of the entranceway. Mones said the civic association also has issues

Construction has temporarily ceased on the site of the future Stony Brook Square until the owner can provide better site plans to the town’s planning board.

with an area that was designated for land banking now being used for 19 parking spots. He explained that land banking allows for an area to be landscaped until it is proven a business owner needs it for parking. He said while he appreciates the town was alerted to the changes and put a stop work order on the construction, he believes it still poses problems. “I think the town has a challenge before them,” Mones said. “Is it going to send a message out to developers that you can willy-nilly

make changes in the approved site plan and then ask for forgiveness?” Mones said representatives from the civic association would be attending the Oct. 1 Planning Board meeting. “We think that the town should adhere to the site plan that was developed, and since the project is far from being completed, it shouldn’t be difficult for [the developer] to adhere to the site plan that they originally planned on with the town, with the town planners and with the community,” Mones said. The Planning Board members put their decision on hold until the Oct. 1 meeting, and Farahzad was advised to bring updated site plans Oct. 1 and to consult with the Three Village Civic Association about the modifications. “I would like to see a plan that shows what’s existing — not proposed — and what we had previously approved and what has changed,” said assistant town attorney Beth Reilly at the Sept. 17 meeting. “Because when you look at this it looks like nothing is out there, but that’s not what our inspectors found when they did a stop work order on this job. I feel like the plans still don’t match what we’re being told.” Farahzad did not respond to requests for comment.

Torrential rain floods Port Jeff BY ALEX PETROSKI & KYLE BARR Those strolling through Port Jefferson Village on the morning of Sept. 26 couldn’t stride too far without hearing the distinct sound of Shop-Vacs. The area was hit with more than 4 inches of rain during the evening into the night Sept. 25, according to the National Weather Service, leading to severe flooding in Port Jefferson Village. The intense rain storm flooded businesses, the Port Jefferson Fire Department and even forced emergency evacuations from Theatre Three. Fire department Chief Brennan Holmes said water levels on the department’s grounds on Maple Place reached about 5 feet high. “The problem with this was it was 4 inches of rain in an hour and a half, so it rose so quickly that a chief’s car got stuck in a flash flood, we couldn’t get the trucks out,” he said Wednesday morning as cleanup efforts were already well underway. He added he had just spoken to Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R), whose department was helping out with the cleanup effort. “I think we took 10 people out of flooded cars.” Christian Neubert, a member of the fire department, said around 8 p.m. Tuesday night people were trapped in their cars in the vicinity of Wynn Lane, as well as others on Liberty Avenue near Port Jefferson High School. Holmes said between 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. the department responded to 14 alarms related to the flooding. In addition to damage to at least one department car, Holmes said the radio room also flooded, sustaining damage that was still being assessed Wednesday. “We had a lot of stuff damaged,” Holmes said. “Usually [some flooding is] easily mitigated. We’re good with that. We get the trucks out and up the hill. This just came so fast and so quick and so much that it was tough.” Theatre Three was inundated with water during the storm. The deluge left a watermark 4 feet high in the theater’s basement, high enough to nearly pour over the bar and stools used for the theater’s comedy nights. Theatre Three president, Andrew Markowitz, said the flooding started around 7:30 p.m. Sept. 25. The water reached high enough to muddy the costumes and props the theater was to use in this upcoming Friday’s production of “The Addams Family,” many of which will have to be quickly replaced. Worse still, much of the theater’s lighting apparatus was stored downstairs, and personnel were still determining what needed to be repaired or replaced Wednesday. “We have a lot of volunteers who are helping out, but anyone who wants to come down and clean they are welcome,” Markowitz said. The office on a lower floor used by Jeffrey Sanzel, the theater’s executive artistic director, was nearly submerged. The small office contained innumerable books, original stage scripts and stage

props, many of which Sanzel said were completely ruined by the rushing waters. He estimated several thousand dollars worth of items were destroyed. However, their loss means much more to him on a personal level. “I spend more time in that office than I do in my own house, and everything in my desk, from my shelves down, is gone,” Sanzel said, his pants stained with mud. “The personal stuff — it’s just gone, I’ve never seen it like this. But then again, we could be in the Carolinas, you have to put things in proportion.” At the same time the theater was hosting about 40 children and their families in auditions for its yearly portrayal of “A Christmas Carol.” Since the kids had nowhere to go with the several-foot-deep waters outside, Sanzel said they simply continued on with the auditions in order to keep the kids calm. Holmes indicated that while the flooding was catastrophic, it occurred during low tide. When asked what this storm might have looked like had it happened during high tide, the chief responded, “We don’t want to know.” Markowitz said Theatre Three is still waiting for the assessment on total damages, but he feared the cost could be astronomical. He said the theater would work hard over the next days to make sure the production of “The Addams Family” goes on, despite the flooding. “The show must go on,” he said. Donations are already pouring in, and theater operators said they have received close to $5,000 just in the morning hours after the flood.

Residents, town work on solutions for Stony Brook Road Determining who is responsible for the upkeep of medians on Stony Brook Road is causing some community confusion. Earlier this year, the Town of Brookhaven replaced old street lights on the road’s five medians with decorative, energy-efficient lights, replaced asphalt with mulch and took down dead trees, according to town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R). The changes were a result of meetings with the Friends of Stony Brook Road, a committee of six residents whose goal is to beautify the street. During the meetings, Losquadro said he talked to the residents about the upkeep of the medians, saying it would be up to them due to median maintenance not being in his budget. “Vegetated medians are very labor intensive, and the understanding was that if we were going to do something vegetated that it would have to be done with a public-private partnership, and they would have to maintain it,” Losquadro said. Lee Krauer, chair of Friends of Stony Brook Road, said the group didn’t agree to maintaining

the community and keep our community looking pretty,” Krauer said. Maintenance of the medians was delegated to an unlikely source for the time being. Inmates from the Suffolk County Correctional Facility recently weeded the five medians on the street as part of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Labor Assistance Program, which allows qualifying nonviolent prisoners to volunteer to work outside of the correctional facility. Losquadro said he was familiar with the sheriff’s program from using it in the past for graffiti removal and beautification projects. He said he reached out to the office to see if they could handle a median cleanup, which would prevent him from pulling a town crew from elsewhere to weed. “This really allows us to get two things done at the same time,” he said. “I was very grateful that the sheriff’s office was able to accommodate us.”

medians with concrete. Losquadro said it can be done but would have to go through the town’s capital projects and not the highway department. Krauer said the group would add potted plants to the medians if concrete was used and would take care of the plants, which was part of their original beautification visioning. “I assume that we will be able to work cooperatively with Dan, and that he’s going to do the stamped concrete,” Krauer said. “And then we can come up with some pots or some sort of design that we can get plantings there one way or another, and we will maintain the plantings.” Losquadro said he urges the group to think it through before committing to the concrete. The Friends of Stony Brook is also looking for someone who is knowledgeable about garden districts to speak at one of its future meetings as setting up a district is an option that they would consider. “We’re trying to do something to really help

the whole median, only anything they would plant on the median. “There was definitely a misunderstanding about who was going to be responsible for maintaining all of the medians,” Krauer said. After the mulch was in place, Krauer said the Friends group enlisted the help of landscaping architects who donated their time. She said they were looking into low-maintenance plantings that would spread and wouldn’t need a lot of water or weeding. They discovered there was a roadbed from the original Stony Brook Road underneath six inches of mulch, which made it difficult to plant anything. The mulch would need to be built up or the original roadbed would have to be torn up, which would cost thousands, according to Krauer. “Because we can’t do anything with the depth of the soil, we’re kind of between a rock and a hard place,” she said, adding the group also looked into grants. At an Aug. 22 meeting at the Stony Brook firehouse, Losquadro said he told the group he could schedule one cleanup for the season but that’s all his budget would allow.

Koeppel Dental Group 126 Gnarled Hollow Rd. East Setauket, NY

Just short of twenty-five years ago I stepped into the office of the Koeppel Dental Group. I had already had 20 years of work experience with three other dental practices. I never realized how life changing this practice would become for me as well as our patients. I was working now for someone who treated each person who walked in our doors as if they were his family. I could feel and see the passion that Dr. Koeppel put into every case that he did. I was now able to watch patients evolve into the most beautiful butterflies inside and out which brought so much joy to my heart. What a feeling of accomplishment! For the very first time, I worked for someone who really cared about his staff. What a gift I was given of this opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself. A smile has become the symbol of success and the look of health. Our selfesteem is measured on how we feel inside. Deciding to enhance your smile has always been very hard decision as you only get one set of teeth. Who will you choose to do that? What type of labs are involved in this process? What products will last the longest for me? Will I feel better about myself when this is all done? It is a lot to think about! Here at the Koeppel Dental Group only the finest materials along with world class laboratories are personally chosen for each smile design. Dr. Koeppel is an extensively trained dentist in everything that he does. Our veneers cases have gained the reputation of being some of the best in the industry. Dr. Koeppel has created his own standard of excellence that is very hard to surpass. Each case is more breathtaking than the last. Each patient looks at that breathtaking smile and just glows. What a gift! Years ago, the only option for missing teeth was a removable denture. Today we have implant supported prosthetics that have taken its place. This revolutionary process, Hybridge, allows patients to end with a fixed, implant supported prosthesis that can only be removed by a certified Hybridge provider. It allows the patient to go thru life with natural looking teeth that function just as well as your natural teeth. Imagine the feeling of not having to deal with glue, food getting stuck under the dentures and loose dentures that move and drop out of your mouth! Dental sleep medicine has taken a big role in the dental practice. It has solved the problem of understanding why restorations did not last. Patients struggling to find an airway while sleeping have destroyed their teeth just trying to breathe. Sleep Apnea, a life- threatening disorder, can be effectively treated with mouth appliances in some cases. The Koeppel Dental Group is the only certified Dental Sleep Facility on Long Island. Dr. Koeppel, a board-certified dental sleep medicine provider can provide patients with an appliance that will keep their airways open and protect the patient’s restorations all at the same time. Koeppel Dental Group is happy to announce the addition of Dr. Daniel Barayev, a fully licensed and board certified general and cosmetic dentist, to our team. Dr. Barayev chose to continue his education at Stony Brook University earning a dual Bachelor of Science Degree in Biochemistry and Economics with a minor in Business Administration. Dr. Barayev received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) with honors from New York University College of Dentistry, graduating in the top percentage of his class. Through his hard work and caring for his fellow colleagues and patients, Dr. Barayev was awarded Student of the Year in NYU College of Dentistry. During residency, he was awarded for Excellence in Oral Surgery. Besides private practice, Dr. Barayev enjoys teaching tomorrow’s dentists as an adjunct clinical instructor at NYU College of Dentistry. He finds teaching his profession particularly rewarding. He is certified in providing Invisalign Orthodontic therapy as well as Basic Life Support (BLS). Dr. Barayev frequently takes continuing dental education courses to provide cutting edge therapies for his patients. Dr. Koeppel and his entire team and very proud to have him as part of the staff. Dr. Ira D. Koeppel, past president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (NY Chapter), is a highly regarded cosmetic dentist known for creating gorgeous, healthy smiles with a special emphasis on cosmetic, implant and full mouth reconstruction. His expertise includes restoring teeth back to pristine condition, implant and cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign and porcelain veneers.

Perspective

Remembering an American hero

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

— President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

President Theodore Roosevelt’s words, given above, were spoken more than a century before the passing of longtime Arizona Senator John McCain, but they serve as a perfect summation to remember his dynamic. The 81-year-old politician, combat veteran and prisoner of war passed away after a battle with brain cancer Aug. 25. In the aftermath of his death, Americans watched ceremonies held in Arizona, Washington, D.C., and Annapolis, Maryland, by military figures, politicians from both major parties and friends who immediately recalled the unique strength that McCain had demonstrated throughout his life. As a young man, McCain learned the value of service through the examples established by his family members. His grandfather, John Sidney McCain, was a four-star admiral who served during World War II. The senior McCain sailed around the world within the naval White Fleet created by President Theodore Roosevelt. He was also a key figure in establishing the early naval flight training and carrier-based fighter planes during World War II and the Cold War. McCain’s father, John Jr., was a submarine commander during World War II. He too was an admiral who was in charge of the American naval presence in the Pacific and in Vietnam. While Senator McCain graduated fifth from the bottom of his Annapolis class of 1958, many of his peers saw him as resembling “John Wayne” for his bravado and colorful approach to being a cadet and later as a naval aviator. Later on in speeches to naval cadets, McCain described himself as being “undistinguished” and a “party man,” but his naval family lineage balanced his rebellious side. McCain was laid to rest at Annapolis where he developed many of his “maverick” military and political traits. A fierce high school and college lacrosse competitor, Rocky Point native Danielle Vivonetto graduated from Annapolis in 2012. She is currently a lieutenant and a MH-60S helicopter pilot. She said McCain represented “the necessary patriotism and sacrifice that will forever be a bright example for all armed forces members to emulate.” Former U.S. Marine Corps mortarman and

Arizona Senator John McCain the current president of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Suffolk County Chapter 11, Richard Kitson served in South Vietnam at the same time that McCain was shot down in 1967. The longtime resident of Port Jefferson Station identified the vital aspects of McCain’s military and political experience that represented “all that America stood for” and he served with “honor like that of his father and grandfather,” Kitson said. He said he was pleased that members of both political parties put aside their differences to recognize the hardships McCain endured in serving America during times of war and peace. On Oct. 26, 1967, during his 23rd bombing mission over the skies of North and South Vietnam, the A-4 Skyhawk fighter jet McCain was flying was hit by enemy surface-to-air missiles. He was pulled out of Truc Bach Lake, outside of Hanoi by Vietnamese civilians. Just recently,

Americans who are living in this part of Vietnam placed a wreath near the spot where McCain was taken by the enemy. He sustained several injuries from the war that stayed with him until the day he died. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina recalled in a speech to Congress he observed McCain’s inability to comb his own hair and put on a coat, a byproduct of being shot down and tortured by North Vietnamese interrogators at the Hanoi Hilton. When it was learned by the enemy McCain’s family members included high ranking naval officers, they offered him an earlier prisoner release, which he refused to accept. For more than five years from 1967 to 1973, McCain was held in horrible conditions and constantly suffered from his wounds. Still, he did what he could to care for his fellow Americans imprisoned with him. Recent media

stories described how McCain and the other officers created a tapping code on the wall to communicate with each other. When one prisoner had a broken arm, McCain helped create a make-shift caste to care for him. Joseph Cognitore, commander of Post 6249 of the Rocky Point Veterans of Foreign Wars, who also served in Vietnam, summed up his feelings on McCain’s harrowing experience as a POW. “It was hard enough serving a yearlong tour fighting in Vietnam, let alone, being a prisoner of war for over five years,” he said. “McCain never wavered to help other service members, and he personally understood the needs of combat veterans who were wounded in defense of this nation.” Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

An idea decades in the making could take a major step forward by the end of 2018. It still may be years before electrification happens, if it ever happens at all, but momentum is building toward funding being secured for a study determining the feasibility of electrifying the Long Island Rail Road on the Port Jefferson line from Huntington to the stations east by the end of this year. Mitchell Pally, the Suffolk County representative on the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s board of trustees, said the LIRR has already appropriated funds to support the study, adding that state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) has also succeeded in appropriating state funds toward the plan. “The support of the communities involved is essential to making this work,” Pally said in an interview. “The rail road is very supportive.” Community support for exploring the possibility of electrifying the line, which currently allows trains to run on diesel fuel east of Huntington, has been building in recent years, although the idea has been on the radar for North Shore residents at least as far back as the 1980s. Anthony Figliola, an East Setauket resident, former Brookhaven Town deputy supervisor and vice president of Empire Government Strategies, a company that provides strategic counsel on governmental relations and practices to municipalities, has been leading a community coalition advocating for a feasibility study for about the last year, he said. The group, which Figliola said has been informally calling itself the North Shore Business Alliance, has been lobbying elected officials and community organizations like civic associations and chambers of commerce throughout the relevant territories in an effort to build public support for and attention on the idea. Figliola said he hopes the funding for a study will be in place

by the end of the year. The study is expected to cost approximately $12 million, he said. “It’s ripe, the community wants it,” Figliola said. “We’re very grateful for all that Mitch is doing to advocate on behalf of this.” Figliola identified Charlie Lefkowitz, vice president of the Three Village Chamber of Commerce and real estate developer, as one of the other community members leading the charge for electrification. “It’s a long time coming,” Lefkowitz said of progress on the feasibility study. “It was a collaborative effort on many fronts. The direct beneficiaries of it will be the communities.” The study would examine how much faster trains on the North Shore line would reach Penn Station in Manhattan with electrification from Port Jeff and select a new railroad yard to house the electric trains, among other logistical particulars. Currently, the LIRR yard is off Hallock Avenue in Port Jefferson, though several officials have indicated electrification would require the relocation of that yard and the Port Jeff train station. The former site of Lawrence Aviation Industries has been suggested as a possible new yard and train station. On April 4 Huntington Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R), Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Smithtown Town Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) sent a joint letter to the New York State Legislature’s Long Island delegation to express their support for the feasibility study due to potential economic and environmental benefits. They cited that the Port Jefferson and Huntington branch lines have the highest ridership, about 18.7 million annually, of any line in the LIRR service territory, according to the LIRR Annual Ridership Report for 2015. Figliola said his coalition had lobbied for the support of the three supervisors. “I think it has legs,” state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said of electrification. “It’s such a good idea that I think it should happen.”

Letters to the editor

Picking up speed

Republicans in Congressional District 1 have much to consider with their votes in the November midterm elections. George Will in The Washington Post is encouraging Republicans to work to ensure that President Trump does not win the 2020 nomination; he is leaving the Republican Party, at least for now. This week, Republican commentator Bill Kristol, who has called Trump “disgraceful,” announced he is building a “war machine … to prepare for a primary run against Trump” and has been talking with potential candidates. Meanwhile, Steve Schmidt, Will and other Republican pundits have urged Republicans to help flip the House to the Democrats in the midterms to put a check on this irrational presidency. If you’re a Republican concerned that flipping the House will bring about

Editorial

Most passengers on the Long Island Rail Road probably have one wish — to get to their destination quicker. This desire has been uttered for decades on the Port Jefferson line where commuters headed to the Big Apple or Nassau County need to change trains since tracks are only electrified west of Huntington, with diesel fuel powering all trains east. While we’re more optimistic than ever that the wish may be granted, we must admit we’re only cautiously optimistic. While the Long Island trains may never reach speeds of those in Japan, China and France, which travel at more than 200 mph, officials and community members are working harder than ever toward the goal of electrification. Both the Metropolitan Transit Authority and state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) have appropriated funds to support a study of the feasibility of electrifying the line, and a group of community members, informally called the North Shore Business Alliance, is advocating for the study by not only lobbying elected officials, but also presenting the benefits to civic associations and chambers of commerce along Suffolk County’s North Shore. There are a lot of people on board to move things forward. Electrifying the rails means more than getting in and out of the city quicker, it also means living on Long Island and community would be more appealing. Hopefully, it would keep people here and draw more to the area. It would make commuting to work in the city easier, where salaries tend to be higher and opportunities more abundant. For those traveling east, it would decrease the time for traveling to Stony Brook University. However, as we have said before, we are cautiously optimistic. While the study will look at how much faster trains can go, it will also look to see if electrification makes sense financially, something we Long Islanders need to understand. The winding nature of the Port Jeff line presents a set of logistical troubles as well. There is still a possibility electrification may not make economic sense, which stands to reason as it has been discussed for generations. In 2000, one study estimated it would cost $500 million to electrify the Port Jefferson line from Huntington to the end. There’s also a change some communities may not welcome as they may foresee problems that might arise from faster trains, one being that many towns may not want more people living in their areas, citing traffic problems and perhaps more multihouse units being constructed or development. But back to the positive side of the coin, faster trains may actually mean less cars on the road especially on the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway as more may find taking the train easier. There will also be those who now live on the North Shore who opt to take trains out of Ronkonkoma but now can head to the station closer to their home. We may not know what the feasibility study will turn up but moving it forward will increase the odds of one day either riding a faster train or finally putting the dream to rest.

Republicans need to think about votes impeachment, that’s not the issue, even if warranted by the Mueller findings yet to be revealed. Even if impeachment proceedings were to start in the House, it would take the unlikely defection of 16 Republican senators to impeach. In his 2006 autobiography, James A. Baker III, then running President George H.W. Bush’s re-election campaign, commented, “The complaint that character should be off-limits in a campaign for the American presidency is both absurd and not historical. What could be more important?” Baker saw an important distinction in his candidate, a “war hero, family man, successful businessman, veteran public servant [who] had a hard-won reputation as an honorable man, even among most Democrats.” Yes, character matters. Donald Trump

is not officially on the ballot this midterm, but he will be listed in the proxy name of Rep. Lee Zeldin, his staunch acolyte. This midterm election is the opportunity for everyday Republicans to make an important statement about this dysfunctional, immoral presidency. Zeldin unequivocally supports Trump, and Zeldin is supported by both Trump and Bannon. Zeldin’s blind loyalty to Trump should not be rewarded. Zeldin’s support for Trump feeds a dangerous presidency, characterized by destructive behavior and habitual lying. Every week brings new evidence of Trump’s character flaws and inability to manage the executive branch. Republicans in CD1 can make a difference. It’s up to you to make it happen.

The central pillar of our legal system Forget about hot-button legal issues such as judicial activism vs. original intent. A bedrock principle of our nation and system of justice is that an accused must be confronted by his/her accuser. I think this is a cornerstone of the concept of “due process,” a cherished right guaranteed to all in our democratic republic. However difficult this might sometimes be, the burden is upon the accuser — or if a crime has been committed, the prosecution — to prove a charge or crime. We have afforded this right to the most despicable individuals accused of even the most heinous crimes. This is perhaps the central pillar of our legal system: A person is innocent until proven guilty, not guilty — or possibly guilty until proven innocent. Its importance cannot be overstated. Indeed, it is almost a trademark of authoritarian (or fascist or

tyrannical) legal systems that persons accused of crimes (or deed or thought) are required to prove their innocence. Examples that demonstrate the dangers of the “guilty until proven innocent” approach can be seen in the use of show trials by Stalin in 1930s Soviet Union (to complete its transformation into a totalitarian dictatorship) or by some of the excesses of the House Un-American Activities Committee in early Cold War USA: charges — sometimes incomplete — could be made (even by unnamed or unidentified sources), and accused individuals would be required to “prove” their innocence. In the McCarthy era some individuals who could not or would not demonstrate their innocence (sometimes of “crimes” based on the political cause du jour) had their careers and livelihoods terminated. Possibly the most

reprehensible examples of this in U.S. history are found in the 20th-century treatment of African-American men accused or suspected of sex crimes and acts involving white women. “Reprehensible” is hardly a strong enough word. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of black men were lynched or murdered, often publicly. When we hear statements that begin with “The charge itself” or “Such an accusation alone” should convict anyone of or disqualify anyone from anything, it is time to pause and reflect. In some instances, the burden on the accuser, who is often the victim, to confront the accused can be difficult and even traumatic. We cannot and must not abandon or suspend this basic tenet of our justice system. Period. Michael Zelenak Old Field

A poorly engineered economy Many companies are making huge profits by paying their employees wages that are so inadequate that some of them need public assistance just to get by. Today, thousands of workers rely on food stamps, Medicaid and public assistance because they can’t survive on the wages they receive. Meanwhile, 82 percent

of the world’s wealth created last year went to 1 percent of the population. How silly is that? And who pays for the public assistance subsidizing this flow of wealth? We do. The middle class subsidizes the wealthiest companies in the country, while workers struggle to put food on the table. That’s

what an engineered economy looks like. In my view, it’s ridiculous and needs to end. Pay your workers a living wage or pay the public its money back. It’s really simple: If a worker needs $500 in food stamps, you owe us $500. Jerry Reynolds Coram

Diving with equal opportunity into our first Charlotte block party

A

fter living in our new house in Charlotte, North Carolina, for a few weeks, we were delighted to receive an invitation to a block party to meet our neighbors. Up to that point, we’d only seen and spoken with one neighbor. She and her family welcomed us to the area, offered an air-conditioning reference and shared the garbage pickup D. None schedule. of the above The morning BY DANIEL DUNAIEF of the upcoming gathering, my wife and I took a walk through the neighborhood. We admired the landscaping and architecture of nearby homes. We moved off the sidewalk as runners passed us. We trotted up one lawn

to clear space for a biker whose steering wheel seemed to be pulling left and right. Most of the people in cars waved as they passed, a regular occurrence here, even when they didn’t know us. My wife believes I alert the canines in the area that I am a “dog person.” A golden retriever and a black Labrador spotted me from across the street and stared, causing their owner to stop and wait as they watched us disappear up the block. A friendly man with a small dog stopped and chatted. He asked if we were residents and if we were attending the block party that evening. When we told him we moved here with our kids, he asked what brought us down. “Work,” we said. “Oh,” he said, turning to me. “Did you get a job with one of the banks?” “No, my wife did,” I replied, directing his attention to her. He was embarrassed and immediately apologized for assuming I had landed a job that required us to relocate. We reassured him it was fine and we kept walking.

I am proud of my wife and her professional accomplishments. I also recognize, even in a world where people regularly discuss equal opportunity, that we are still far from situations in which people can’t assume anything about the roles husbands and wives play when they meet a couple. Later that evening, with our children in tow, we walked the few blocks to the party, waving politely at a man who almost certainly carried a beer the same way 20 years ago when he was in college, although his clothing, like ours, was probably a few sizes smaller. Maybe that’s an unfair assumption, too? When we arrived on a tree-lined cul-de-sac, we noticed that most of the children were considerably younger than our pair, who snarled about an early exit. After urging them to stay, we made some selections in the crowd and broke the social ice. Consistent with our experience since our arrival, we found people who came originally from Long Island, New York and New Jersey. We chatted with a proud father, who pointed

to his high school senior and proclaimed her the best athlete in her entire school. “You must be in public relations,” I said. He and his daughter laughed. “That guy over there,” he said, pointing to a house. “Yes?” I replied. “He is a neurosurgeon who works with football players. His attends games and he does concussion protocol.” “Really?” I asked. “The players are supposed to say ‘spaghetti’ when they see him after a hard hit. They get hit so hard that they say things like ‘ham’ or ‘bologna’ because they can’t remember the first concussion word,” he offered. Our children, despite their initial disappointment, found contemporaries that night and are cellphone buddies with the kids on the block. We received restaurant recommendations and local service provider referrals, while we also will recognize a few of the people who exchange pleasant waves on and off the block.

No quarrels with Canada in Quebec and Montreal

Q

uébec City seems like a delightfully European-styled destination that is only a nine-hour drive from here. Montreal, officially Montréal, is even closer, only six hours or so. The old cities there are filled with beautiful stone buildings that speak of some five centuries of North American history, a unique culture that is a French-CanaBetween dian and English you and me mix, lively street BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF scenes and shops, museums, sports and scrumptious restaurant food. I can attest to all that because I attended a press convention that was held in Canada this fall, and a friend and I drove there and back.

By the way, the road trip is a scenic joy as we traveled along the Molly Stark Trail amid the Green Mountains through Vermont and back on the Adirondack Northway. The only way it could have been better is if the leaves had been turning. As it was, the trees were at their lushest, the highways were clear and the weather was perfect — in the 70s with low humidity and azure blue sky. I was thrilled that the local residents could understand my French and even more so that I could understand theirs. I haven’t tried to speak French since I was last in Paris, a while ago. I discovered that the French Canadians speak more slowly than the Parisians generally, so communication of at least a rudimentary nature was mildly possible. I certainly understood how much they dislike President Trump, which they told us often enough after they discovered we were visiting Americans. Quebec City, referred to that way to distinguish it from the larger Province of Quebec, is located both above and below cliffs that line the northern bank of the wide St. Lawrence River.

The Upper Town, home of the now-famous Château Frontenac, was where the elite among the early French settlers lived, including the clergy and government officials. Merchants and craftsmen lived in the Lower Town along the river. The strategic location of the city permitted the French to repel both British and American invaders for more than a century and enabled trade to flourish among New France until Wolfe and de Montcalm fought on the Plains of Abraham in 1759 and the British won. The Quebec Act of 1774 allowed the French to continue to speak French and to practice Catholicism, and by keeping the French satisfied probably kept them from joining the American Revolution. To this day, road signs are in French although children learn English from second grade on and are bilingual. After a couple of days, we made the threehour drive to Montreal and the location of the convention, still enjoying glorious weather. I keep marveling at the weather, knowing that of the original 28 men who accompanied Samuel de Champlain from France in 1608, 20 died from the harsh first winter.

The Island of Montreal was considered, in the early days of settlement in the mid-17th century, to be only an outpost for fur trading. Over the centuries, however, it has become one of the world’s largest primarily French-speaking cities after Paris and the second largest city in Canada — only Toronto is larger. The Port of Montreal is one of the world’s major inland ports, served by the St. Lawrence Seaway. It is a city of skyscrapers, festivals and considerable diversity, and it too has marvelous restaurants, along with the cultural and entertainment offerings one would expect. I only got a short tour of Old Montreal and some time in the art museum, where there was a good exhibit on Picasso and African art, because in Montreal I had to work. I enjoyed the meetings and learned some things there that our newspapers will be telling you about in subsequent issues, also on our website. Our return on Sunday afternoon took us an hour to cross the border compared with fewer than three minutes on the way into Quebec on a weekday. We left our northern neighbor, however, with a strong urge to revisit soon.
