OPEN HOUSE Friday, Oct. 12 th

7:00 - 10:00 pm

Library honors veterans Emma S. Clark Memorial Library has three programs to honor United States veterans. The Setauket library has partnered with the Library of Congress to help preserve the community’s rich history through the Veterans History Project. Library staff members will conduct interviews with U.S. military veterans, from any conflict, who are willing to share their experiences and stories. This initiative was originally started by the Library of Congress in 2000. Making oral history accessible is a key component to the documentation. Interviews will run from thirty minutes to one hour each and will be recorded at the library. Completed interviews will be added to the library’s YouTube channel for public viewing and also archived in the Library of Congress. Participating veterans will receive a personal DVD copy of their interview. Veterans can call the Library’s Adult Reference Desk at 631941-4080, ext. 127, for more information about the ongoing project. For the second year, starting Nov. 1, Emma Clark will have a Veterans Board, which will

History Close at Hand

Washington connects with Long Island through Culper Spy Ring During the Revolutionary War, Gen. George Washington relied on his officers to provide information and intelligence that would enable him to make decisions for the best interests of the United States of America, the Second Continental Congress and the Continental Army. To accomplish this, Washington surrounded himself with the best and the brightest — from his aide Alexander Hamilton to his Brig. Gen. Henry Knox. One of the most difficult positions for Washington to fill, because of its very nature, was intelligence. Over the course of the war, he appointed many men, in a variety of theaters of war, to keep him informed of the strengths and movements of British forces, both army and navy. By February of 1777, Washington had tasked Maj. Benjamin Tallmadge to run a spy, Maj. John Clark, on British-controlled Long Island. Tallmadge had just been elevated to the rank of major, and Washington saw something in this young, energetic and well-liked dragoon (cavalry) officer that gave him the confidence to entrust him with the task of facilitating and protecting Clark.

The following year, 1778, with the retirement of intelligence chief Brig. Gen. Charles Scott, Washington appointed Tallmadge as his intelligence chief, with the specific task of setting up an intelligence network in New York City and on Long Island. With British headquarters in Manhattan, the British navy was using Sag Harbor as a second naval base.

British and Loyalist troops were establishing forts on Long Island, and British and Hessian troops foraged on Long Island from one end to the other. Washington knew it was imperative to keep him well informed about British activity on the Island and in New York. Tallmadge accomplished this with the successful use of a network called the Culper Spy Ring. The ring, coordinated by Setauket farmer Abraham Woodhull, not only kept Washington informed of British troop movements but had a number of coups, including informing Washington of the attempt by the British to flood the area with counterfeit Continental dollars. More importantly, the Culper Spy Ring provided Washington with accurate and often timely information. This trustworthiness became the spy ring’s most important feature. On one day alone, July 21, 1780, at least 13 letters containing information about the Continental Army and received intelligence were sent to Washington’s headquarters at the Dey Mansion in New Jersey from American and French officers in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Most letters arrived the same or the following day. On the same date, July 21, Washington wrote letters to American and French officers some of which were answers to letters he received the same day. Many questions Washington had about the intelligence he received from other sources were checked against the intelligence received from the Culpers, his most trusted source. On April 30, 1781, Washington, from his New Windsor headquarters in New York, wrote Benjamin Tallmadge his high opinion of the Culpers and the need for continued intelligence. “Fully impressed with the idea of the Utility of early, regular & accurate communications . . . a liberal reward for the services of the C —— s [Culpers], of whose fidelity & ability I entertain a high opinion . . . At present

I am anxious to know (for the reports have been very numerous vague & uncertain) whether another embarkation is preparing, and if so, to what amount & where destined, what the present force of the Enemy is; particularly on Long Island, in New York & at Kings bridge. What Corps are at the latter place, how strong, & where posted exactly — And indeed what the situations, prospects, & designs of the enemy are so far, as they can be penetrated into. I am Dear Sir with very great regard.” General Washington’s various headquarters, during the Revolutionary War, were in places as diverse as Newburgh, New York, along the Hudson River and now a state historic site, and the Dey Mansion in Wayne, New Jersey. Both are open daily for tours where visitors can learn about Washington’s leadership, activity and stories not told in school or most books. In addition to the diverse number of locations where Washington and his wife Martha lived during the winter months, Washington stayed in a large headquarters tent in the field that has been preserved and is one of the feature attractions of the new Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia. This extensive museum, in the heart of the old city, tells many stories of the people on both sides of the Revolutionary War. At Mount Vernon, Washington’s home, housed in the elegant Washington Presidential Library is the George Washington Leadership Institute, which encourages reflection, executive learning and strategic thinking, guided by the example of America’s most important leader.

Village

Town set to work on Setauket Harbor area with state funds BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

RITA J. EGAN

Setauket Harbor and its surrounding area will be a bit cleaner due to a grant secured by a state senator. Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) secured a $1 million grant from the state for the Town of Brookhaven in 2016 to be used to improve water quality in Setauket Harbor, which will also help clean out the pond slightly west of Se-Port Delicatessen on Route 25A and fix the dock on Shore Road. While the grant was secured two years ago, the contract period began Oct. 1. “Long Islanders are fortunate to have access to natural resources like the Setauket Harbor and we must continually fight to preserve them,” Flanagan said in a statement. “That is why projects like this are so important, and it is my pleasure to work with the Setauket Harbor Task Force as well as the Town of Brookhaven to ensure that this beautiful natural resource is protected. These fragile ecosystems are so critical to every facet of life for the people who live, work and play in our region, and it is imperative that we continually join together to make sure they are available to future generations of Long Islanders.”

Veronica King, the town’s stormwater manager, explained how the money would be put to use. “The project has three distinct components — repair the failing bulkhead at the Shore Road park, remove sediment from the retention pond at [East] Setauket Pond Park, and implement stormwater improvements to mitigate stormwater inputs into the harbor,” she said. King said the work will take approximately three years to complete and a professional engineering firm will be hired to assist with design, permitting and construction. Members of Setauket Harbor Task Force, an organization created with the goal to improve water quality in the harbor, have been consulting with the town about the project, according to task force co-founder George Hoffman. He said the largest source of pathogens in the harbor are most likely from stormwater from the pond. “If we don’t fix the pond, we’re just kind of spitting into the wind in terms of all the other stuff we do,” he said. Hoffman said the pond near the delicatessen serves as an inlet to Setauket Harbor, and stormwater from Route 25A — from around the fire station northeast to the water — washes into it.

The pond near Se-Port Delicatessen, in a photo from last year, will benefit from a $1 million state grant.

Hoffman said the pond’s old, faulty water treatment structure is allowing sediment to build up and currently stormwater is going straight into the harbor. He said sediment can include sand that’s been put down on the roads in the winter, items that fall off trucks and cars and pet waste. Hoffman said the goal is to dredge the pond and remove 10 feet of sediment. He said the reconstruction of the stormwater inputs would

enable the sediment to go into a catch basin that’s specifically designed to capture it. The sediment will settle and then only water would go into the harbor. King said the town will contribute $500,000 worth of capital funds, bringing the total allocation to the project to $1.5 million. “The town has a strong commitment to protecting our natural environment,” she said. “It makes it so much easier when we have the community’s support for projects such as the Setauket Harbor project.” The town will also need to get approval from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation before removing the sediment, which is standard DEC procedure as at times it may contain toxins. King said it shouldn’t be a problem as the town recently did a grain size analysis and found a high percentage of coarse sand material, and she doesn’t expect any surprises as far as chemical compounds. Hoffman said he looks forward to the improvements as many people attending the Route 25A Visioning meetings in 2017 pointed to the area around the harbor as having potential. “We see it as the first phase,” he said. “I think we have some plans to make it the centerpiece of downtown East Setauket.”

Youth cheer program returns to Three Village area BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

valuable it was, including gaining them an advantage when trying out for school cheer. “We knew what we were supposed to do on the sidelines,” Wilson said. “How to get the crowd pumped. Even though we were little, we knew what we were doing.” She said she loves helping out with the younger children and hopes to be on a college cheer team next year and a coach in the future. “Getting to share my love with these little girls and to think, ‘Wow, in a few years from now they’re going to be like us is insane,’” she said. Gallery said her daughter loves working with the Ward Melville students. “She really looks up to the varsity cheerleaders,” the mother said. “She just feels so special when they share their talent with her, and they take her under their wings.” Wilson said cheering is important because it creates a positive environment and brings a “game to life.” “It has such a different feel with the crowd getting involved and being excited,” Wilson said. “We start screaming for the team and so do the parents and anyone in the crowd which definitely helps the team.” Ellie DePaul said she thinks cheerleaders are an essential part of the school community. “I really think it’s an intricate part of school

TRISH GALLERY

Things are getting cheerier in the Three Village school district. Those attending Ward Melville High School’s homecoming may have noticed several little ones with shirts reading “future cheerleader.” After a 10-year absence, youth cheerleaders are returning to the community after the recent merging of the Three Village Wildcats and Port Jefferson Royals youth football program — now called the 3VPJ Hawks. While Port Jefferson still had its youth cheering program, the Three Village Wildcats cheer team ended a decade ago. In May, the Hawks board voted unanimously to bring back the program with Three Village students after Ellie DePaul, the organization’s new director of cheerleading, made a motion to initiate one. In June, recruiting began for boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 11 who were interested. “The program, I feel, is really going to benefit the high school at the end of the day because you’re not having cheerleaders coming to seventh-grade tryouts without having any cheer background,” DePaul said. Trish Gallery’s 11-year-old daughter Julia is one of the Hawks, and the mother said she agreed

the team is helpful to a budding cheerleader. She said her daughter and fellow cheerleaders have been learning various skills, how to stay healthy and work together as a team. She said she noticed her daughter is gaining confidence. “She’s learning skills like the stunts,” Gallery said. “That’s something you really don’t learn anywhere else. Those stunts are giving her a lot of confidence.” DePaul said Ward Melville High School varsity cheerleaders Sydney Crichton, Bri Wilson and Nicolette DePaul, her daughter, who once were Three Village Wildcats cheerleaders, jumped at the chance to help out with the more than 60 girls ranging from ages 4 to 11 who make up three cheer teams. DePaul said the members have also been working with the Setauket-based Shine Dance Studios to enhance their dance moves and Silver Stars Gymnastics in East Setauket where the team practices tumbling on the mats — a skill she said is vital for cheering in later years. Wilson, 17, a senior who has been a member of Ward Melville’s varsity cheerleading team for three years, said she’s been cheering for the school district since junior high school and, up until third grade, was part of the Wildcats cheer youth program along with Crichton and Nicolette DePaul. The three were interested in bringing the youth program back because they knew how

spirit — community spirit — having the girls cheer on the athletes just really boosts the spirit of the community,” DePaul said. For more information about the 3VPJ Hawks, visit www.3vwildcats.com.

called to a fire at the Brookhaven Cat Hospital at 60 Route 25A in Setauket. The fire was significant and inside a building with many rooms. Two other businesses also occupied the building. The fire was reported via an automatic alarm. The first responders noticed significant smoke coming from the building and called in the signal for an actual fire, which evoked mutual aid from Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, Centereach, Terryville, St. James and Selden fire departments, as well as Stony Brook Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Nesconset and Port Jefferson ambulances. Heavy fire was encountered upon entry to the building. It took firefighters more than two hours to bring the fire under control. There was significant damage to the roof as well as the interior spaces. The SCPD Arson Squad and Town of Brookhaven fire marshal were called to determine the cause, which at this point is still under investigation. The fire was contained to the cat hospital areas in the building. According to the business owner, three cats were inside. Two were found deceased, and the third one is unaccounted for at this time. One firefighter suffered a minor injury from heat exhaustion and was transported to a local hospital.

The Setauket Fire Department tackled a challenging rescue Oct. 5 and, just two days later, fought a significant fire during the evening of Oct. 7. On Oct. 5 at 2:08 p.m., the department was called to rescue the driver of a dump truck that had crashed into a large tree on Pond Path near Robert Crescent in Setauket, crushing the side of the driver compartment and pinning the motorist under the dash. Both of the fire department’s heavy rescue crews combined to finally release the victim after an hour of work to free his legs from the steering column and dashboard, which had collapsed into him. With the truck lodged firmly against a 12-inch diameter tree, and with the driver’s legs pinned, medical attention was given while he was in the cab and continued until he was freed. He was alert throughout most of the hour he was pinned in the truck. The truck and driver were part of a crew of contractors, operating for PSEG, who were clearing the power lines along a private driveway that extends from Pond Path for more than 300 feet. The newly paved driveway has some sharp falloffs in several areas. One of those drop-offs apparently caused the truck to veer into two robust trees. The fire department responded with two heavy rescue trucks and a pumper as well as numerous medical personnel and an ambulance. During the time the driver was pinned, he received a number of injections to relieve pain. Once he was freed he was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for further medical care. Suffolk County Police Department Emergency Service also responded and aided with hydraulic tools to supplement those used by Setauket Fire Department personnel. On Oct. 7 at 7:28 p.m., the department was

A Suffolk County driving instructor was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated, and his students were the ones who blew the whistle on him. Russell Cohen, an instructor with Suffolk Auto Driving School located in Lake Grove was conducting a session with four students in his car at about 11 a.m. Oct. 6, according to police. Police said the students became suspicious Cohen was intoxicated, and asked that he stop at McDonald’s so that they could get something to eat. Cohen stopped at the restaurant on Middle Country Road in Centereach, and the students exited the car and called 911, police said. When the students didn’t come out in a timely manner, Cohen left. He then rear-ended his 2012 Honda Accord into a 2008 Honda Civic, being driven by a 29-year-old Shoreham woman, on Route 25 near Montauk Trail in Ridge, at approximately 11:45 a.m. She was transported to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead with non-life-threatening injuries.

Hundreds of fans filled the stands at Superior Ice Rink in Kings Park to cheer on the two counties’ finest as the respective teams battled in an ice hockey game. While the teams were chasing a win and bragging rights, the goal

for both sides was to raise money for Frankie Loeffler III, a sixth-grade Kings Park student fighting a rare form of cancer called embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Frankie was the guest of honor, dropping the puck in a ceremonial faceoff prior to the start of the game. Nassau ultimately won the game 5-4, and more than $10,000 was raised during the event, which will go to Frankie and his family to help pay for increasing medical expenses.

University

Stanley delivers annual state of the university address

“We always take these things with a little grain of salt, but I think it’s an important thing that we need to talk about because again the state puts a significant investment into Stony Brook University,” he said. “We appreciate the investment we get from the state, but it’s really nice to talk about the return on that investment from the state.” The university also saw positive results from The Campaign for Stony Brook fundraising efforts, which raised $630.7 million. He said many people ask him why money can’t be taken from those funds to help with the school’s budget deficit. “Ninety-eight percent of that money raised is directly allocated to specific goals that our

donors have on campus,” he said, adding the funds are usually put toward scholarships, endowed professorships, research projects or a specific campus building. Stanley said the four-year graduation rate for the class entering in 2014 has reached 62 percent for four-year graduates, which signifies a 17-point jump from a 45 percent graduation rate for the class entering in 2007. Among the factors he credited for the success is the Finish in 4 Grants Program. Initiated in spring 2015, the program assists students in good standing who are about to complete their studies but are confronted with personal circumstances that prevent it. “We want to continue to build on this momentum, but it’s going to be important that we work very hard and continue to find the resources to support this very important program,” he said. Stanley said a significant part of the university’s budget, $2.28 billion, is for Stony Brook Medicine. “We are the destination, I believe, for quality care on Long Island,” he said. “We’re the only provider of a level one trauma center for Long Island. We have the only children’s hospital in Suffolk County.” In the next few months, Stony Brook University Hospital will be opening the Medical and Research Translation building with a stateof-the-art cancer center, Stony Brook Children’s and Hospital Pavilion and the Phillips Family Cancer Center in Southampton.

Donald Reiner

Patricia Rogé

As Stony Brook University President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr. looks confidently to the future, the school’s budget deficit is still at the forefront of his mind. On Oct. 3, Stanley delivered his ninth state of the university address on the Staller Center’s main stage to an auditorium full of faculty, staff, students and elected officials. During the speech, which lasted about an hour, the university president touched on several topics including enrollment growth, Stony Brook Medicine’s future and financial woes and successes — like the university’s positive economic impact on Long Island. When it comes to tackling the budget deficit, Stanley did not specify the exact amount but said there is more work that needs to be done to lessen the financial shortfall. He said a hiring freeze still holds for 2018-19 because nothing has changed externally as the university has not received an increase of state support since 2010. He said fee increases and enrollment growth has helped alleviate some of the financial burdens, and the university is actively communicating with the state to seek an increase in allocations. Stanley touted SBU’s presence as a driver for the local economy, citing about $7.2 billion generated from the hospital’s research; people hired and contracted; start-up companies involved with SBU’s incubator; and purchases of students and faculty in the area.

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Stony Brook University President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr. delivers the state of the university address Oct. 3.

Donald Reiner, 83, of Setauket, died Sept. 13 while hospitalized. Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 56 years Teddy and his children Grant Reiner and Sue Reiner Menoscal. He was born in New York City and eventually moved to a farm in Mahopac, where he learned how to grow crops and care for animals. His family described him as a loyal man as well as also giving wise legal counsel to his clients in his law practice. Donald was a professor to aspiring lawyers at Suffolk County Community College. His interests were singing barbershop harmony, playing tennis, participating in Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and shooting beautiful photographs. A service was held at Mount Hebron Cemetery in Queens Sept. 16.

Patricia Rogé, 70, a longtime community resident, died Aug.18. She was born Feb. 23, 1948, in Brooklyn and was the daughter of Louise and Bernard Mack. Patti was a retired executive secretary for R.W. Rogé and Co. Inc.; a member of the book club at the local library; treasurer for her condo association (The Greens); and enjoyed Broadway theater, collectibles, fine dining, watching “Jeopardy” and spending time with her grandkids. Left to cherish her memory are her son Steven (Susan), two grandchildren, sister Sandra, along with other family and friends. She was preceded in death by her brother Gary. Arrangements were entrusted to the Bryant Funeral Home of Setauket. Services were held at Bryant Funeral Home, Aug. 24. Interment followed at Holy Rood Cemetery.

SBU students stage silent protest While the overall response to Stanley’s address was positive with applauses throughout the speech, when the university president discussed a mandatory cultural seminar about implicit bias and sexual misconduct for faculty and staff members, more than a dozen students stood up in the audience in silent protest for a few minutes. Senior Aleeza Kazmi said she was with half a dozen students from the group SBUToo who held signs to show support for sexual harassment and assault victims on campus, including university graduate Erin Mosier who filed a lawsuit against associate professor of history, Larry Frohman, SBU and State University of New York. Mosier alleged that Frohman sexually harassed her and degraded her for her looks and gender. Kazmi said the group members noticed when they stood up there were also representatives from the school’s Young Democratic Socialists of America silently protesting. The student said the goal of the silent protest was summed up best on the SBUToo Twitter account: “The purpose of our demonstration at the State of the University Address was to make clear to accusers and survivors that you are seen, you are heard, we support you.” The group asked the university to change its approach when it comes to harassment and assault accusations. Stony Brook spokeswoman Lauren Sheprow previously told TBR News Media the university has policies and procedures in place to fully investigate claims that are brought to the university’s attention and does not comment upon ongoing litigation. She did not respond to a request for comment regarding the demonstration.

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

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

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

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

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

Letters to the editor

Community support needed in good times and bad

It appears there are conflicting reports regarding the history of the site of the future Stony Brook Square on Route 25A and the nature of the revisions to the site plan being sought by the applicant. It should be noted that this property was formerly a dilapidated nursery with broken down greenhouses, an unsafe single-family home, a dilapidated barn, all of which were removed, and the “historic” house, which has been preserved and remains on the site. In this case, the applicants, Parviz Farahzad and Stony Brook Square, even before making application to the Town of Brookhaven for site plan approval, met with the civic association to discuss the design of the site. The design of the site was made with the conscience effort to provide a commercial center that would fit in with the surrounding area, while upgrading certain elements, including but not limited to providing landscaping along the street frontage and high-end architecture. During the application process, the applicant and its representatives appeared before the Route 25A Citizens Advisory Committee on two occasions, and met with the civic association and/or its members, on

Editorial

Recent tragedies have shown just how good and inspired our community can be if everyone bands together behind a cause. On Sept. 30 Boy Scouts from Troop 161, based in Shoreham, were hit by an alleged drunk driver while hiking in Manorville. While four young men suffered injuries, 12-year-old Andrew McMorris, a student at Shoreham-Wading River’s Albert G. Prodell Middle School, was pronounced dead the morning after he was hit. The news quickly spread on social media, and the community rose rapidly to the occasion. Red ribbons still fly across Long Island from mailboxes, street signs and even entrances to Suffolk County parks. A GoFundMe to support the troop has already raised close to $19,000, and the wakes and funeral for the young man were packed by those wishing to pay respect. We’ve seen this groundswell of community activism in other places in response to hard times elsewhere. On Sept. 25 Port Jefferson Village was inundated with water that in some places reached as high as 4 or 5 feet following intense rain. Port Jeff’s Theatre Three saw the worst of that damage, as the flooding destroyed props, costumes, play scripts, books and thousands of dollars in electrical equipment, not to mention structural damage to the old building. Yet again we saw the community step up to aid its local theater. Galvanized by news stories and online crowd funding campaigns, dozens of volunteers came to the theater to aid in the cleanup, and theater personnel reported it started receiving thousands of dollars in donations the morning right after the flood, which have continued. The rise of online connectivity can prove a useful tool in times like these, yet still there is a pervading sense that the world is becoming more insular. With election season right on the horizon and with tensions rising, we kindly remind people it’s OK to be a good neighbor even in not-so-tragic times. We in the news business know just how powerful and stimulating a community coming together can be. Yes, reporters are people too, and it’s hard not to be heartened, even in the face of mind-numbing tragedy, to drive to work every day with countless red ribbons lining both sides of the road like a landing strip. Imagine if it didn’t take tragedy to excite such fervor in the local community. Two childhood friends in Commack have worked to bring Commack Day back to Hoyt Farm after a near-30-year absence. The lifelong friends and Commack natives James Manikas and Dean Spinato got the community involved by posting the idea to local Facebook groups, driving their support through connectivity. There are so many issues that Long Island currently faces, from the threat of nitrogen in coastal waters, rising sea levels and a lack of affordable housing, yet we at TBR News Media watched how well the community can come together to get things done in times of need. It would be great to see the community come together more on an average day. Letters … We welcome your letters.

Stony Brook Square will benefit community numerous occasions. The applicants also held a neighborhood meeting with approximately 16 to 20 people attending, all but one of which were in favor of the application as presented. During construction, as is often the case, certain deficiencies with the plan were observed by the new site engineer and the general contractor. These deficiencies were deemed to be minor in nature and as such, the applicant was under the impression that these would qualify as field changes. They include a widening of the driveway entrance to Route 25A, resulting in a shift of one of the two front buildings 6 feet to the southwest, and regrading of the site to meet Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines as mandated by the federal government. The other changes included moving the other front building back and adding steps, and changes to the drainage and grading areas behind the rear building. None of the proposed changes materially affects the visual aspects of the site and would be unnoticeable to the untrained eye. The changes requested are to allow better traffic flow in and out of the site, including traffic for deliveries of the

various users and to provide better grading and drainage. There has been no reduction in the quality of landscaping, and the site will still be the crowned jewel of this area of Stony Brook, being noted that the architecture and materials to be used remain the highest quality, as requested by the civic, and agreed to by the owner of the property. The owner has indicated that he has proposed leases with many businesses who will add vibrancy to this area of Stony Brook, including Teacher’s Federal Credit Union, a take-out Thai restaurant, a bubble tea restaurant, take-out Greek, a neighborhood pharmacy and others still under negotiation. We hope that all of the neighbors and residents of Stony Brook will benefit from this project and support the changes that will make the site safer and operate better. J. Timothy Shea, Jr., Esq. Certilman Balin Attorneys, Hauppauge Editor’s note: An article on the Town of Brookhaven planning board temporarily stopping construction on the site appeared in the Sept. 27 edition of The Village Times Herald.

A tale of two countries, we and they After all the conversations, emails, tweets and Facebook postings is there a mind that’s been changed? Not likely. America has become a land of They and We. They called for a revolution, returning the country to a modern version of its former self. We wanted to continue the slow and sometimes erratic march toward a more equitable society. They saw Trump as a bold and daring leader who flouted convention. We saw him as a dangerous, egotistical liar who would damage the country. They thought we were arrogant bleeding hearts. We thought they were ignorant and heartless. Imagine if America was no longer “United” and ceased being the “indivisible” nation it claims to be? What if it was partitioned into two separate countries ... the We and They. They would have the flag, the lapel pins and the Second Amendment. We would have the Constitution. They would penalize those who don’t properly respect the flag, pledge or national anthem. We would defend the right to protest. They would have prayer and “under

God.” We would treat religion as a personal matter, not a public one. They would have charter, private and religion-based schools. We would have a nonsectarian public educational system. They would deport illegals. We would offer law-abiding illegals a pathway to citizenship. They would consider their police force nearly infallible. We would hold the police accountable for abuses. They, would have health insurance available for those who could afford it. We would provide universal medical care. They would be anti-union. We would be pro-union. They, would eliminate food stamps, the minimum wage and unemployment insurance. We would distribute food stamps, have an inflation-adjusted minimum wage and income for the unemployed. They would treat climate change as primarily nature’s rhythm. We would be advised by science in dealing with climate change. They would restrict weddings to those between a man and a woman. We would recognize weddings between any two consenting adults. They would eliminate sex education,

and criminalize abortion under most circumstances. We would teach sex education, provide birth control through health insurance and protect a woman’s right to control her own body. They could own and carry any weapon, anywhere, any time. We would ban several types of weapons and make stringent controls over gun purchases. They would reduce or eliminate many taxes. We would have a vigorously progressive tax code. They would eliminate most regulations. We would enact regulations for health, safety and the environment. They would require stringent steps to register and vote. We would encourage all adult citizens to vote. They would reduce or eliminate Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. We would raise the FICA tax to fund Social Security and universal medical coverage. They would build a wall. We would supplement our border patrols and use available technology. If the country split in two, each of us could choose the one in which we wanted to live. Bruce Stasiuk Setauket

Lessons learned from Kavanaugh confirmation

I

have a few questions for the newly minted Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh. What did you learn through this process? You will be judging legal cases from people from all walks of life, working together with the eight other Supreme Court justices to decide on cases that will determine the law of the land for everyone. What’s it like D. None to be the accused? In some cases, the of the above accused will be as BY DANIEL DUNAIEF angry and defensive and frustrated as you were. How will you understand the legal issues of their cases? How will you consider the legal questions and how will you consider the implications for them? Will you understand the fury some people

might feel through the legal process? Will you appreciate their position, even as you use the law to guide your decision-making process? Maybe not because you, after all, didn’t go through a trial. Well, you certainly didn’t go through a judicial trial. You endured an ordeal, you experienced a political maelstrom and you became a divisive figure, suffering through accusations you found abhorrent. People prejudged you because of the claims women made about your behavior from years ago. Will you be able to appreciate the implications of your decisions on the people awaiting them? Will a process that you found impossibly difficult make you better at your job? Will you grow from this experience, the way people who take an impossible organic chemistry class where they have to memorize and learn structures, concepts and stoichiometry become better students? People rarely ask for the suffering and hardship that comes during any process. It’s what makes movies about road trips so compelling:

People have to overcome or surmount obstacles along the way to get closer to the destination — or the truth. Will you learn about yourself and gain a new perspective on the country and all of its citizens now that you’ve made that trip? In many jobs, we ask people to go beyond what might be their natural responses to people or circumstances. Firefighters race toward a burning building when they may want to run toward safety. The same holds true with the police, who enter unknown and potentially dangerous circumstances. Doctors can’t look at a wound and screech, “Yuck, that’s so disgusting, get that away from me.” In many jobs, we need to overcome our visceral responses, doing what’s asked and ignoring other parts of our experience because that’s what’s required. In your case, the country asks you to make the best judgment for everyone, even the Democrats or those who might accuse others of sexual assault. Will you be able to step out of a reflexive

response that’s all too human to make decisions that affect the lives of everyone? Taking a step away from Judge Kavanaugh, what have we all learned? We know the country is divided and we know people are prepared to find evidence to support whatever conclusions they have already drawn. Can we become more judicial instead of prejudicial? Can we act the way we all hope Judge Kavanaugh will behave? The downside of the instantaneous world in which we live is that we expect instant results. We want food as soon as we order it and we want to speak with everyone and anyone whenever we feel the urge, even if we’re driving, standing in a line or watching a movie. Maybe what we’ll learn is that the judicial process requires time, effort and consideration. Perhaps we can be thankful that the fact-finding, questions and appeals process that accompanies trials will bring out enough information to render a verdict consistent with the law — not a political or any other personal belief.

In politics, it’s raining dogs and cats

P

artisanship is a distressing topic these days. We are a divided country on so many issues, and savvy candidates in the upcoming elections try to sooth that aggravation by offering to reach across the aisle to get the nation’s business done. But here is an age-old question that is simply unbridgeable: Which are smarter, dogs or cats? Now many of us have heard of Between Chaser, a border you and me collie from SparBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF tanburg, S.C., who understood 1,022 nouns. His owner was John Pilley, a scientist who studied canine cognition and trained his pet as part of his work. There was also a border collie named Rico who could identify 200 items.

These dogs helped us reach the conclusion that dogs were extraordinarily intelligent and certainly smarter than cats. But had their partisanship colored the verdict of remarkable canine smarts on the part of owner-scientists? Currently there seems to be a study for every question, and this one is no exception. Stephen Lea, an emeritus professor in the psychology department of the University of Exeter in Devon, England, along with Britta Osthaus, a senior lecturer in the School of Psychology, Politics and Sociology at Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent, England, conducted one such study, according to a recent Laura Holson article in The New York Times. The results are published in the journal Learning & Behavior. In the interests of full disclosure, Lea confessed that he was a cat person. Nonetheless the scientists tried to impartially compare dog cognition with three similar groups: carnivores, social hunters and domestic animals. Among those selected were wolves, cats, chimpanzees, dolphins, horses and pigeons. Here is what they found.

Dogs cannot use tools, unlike dolphins, New Caledonian crows and chimpanzees, which according to The Times, can harness plant stems to fish for termites. Homing pigeons are trained to fly home over great distances, and probably would be more trustworthy to travel on a 1,000-mile errand than a dog, Lea believes. Domestic animals, like horses, can also impress with their learned tasks and tricks. Dogs seem smart in part, Lea said, “because they like to be trained.” The same cannot always be said for cats. In my dog-owning years, some 45 all together, I’ve loved and enjoyed the company of three golden retrievers and one royal (the largest) standard poodle. From this small sample, I would conclude that the poodle was the smartest. When I would sit on the sofa and read the newspaper, he would hop up on the cushion next to me, sitting upright as people and that breed do, and peer over my shoulder. I swear I think he was reading the paper, much as paperless people used to do to their paper-toting seatmates on subways before the arrival of the smartphone.

LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Kathryn Mandracchia DIR. OF MEDIA PRODUCTIONS Michael Tessler

So all right, I am a bit partisan. The conclusion that Lea’s study reaches is that dogs “are not smarter than they are supposed to be, given what they are.” Clive Wynne, director of the Canine Science Collaboratory at Arizona State University in Tempe and a dog lover, recognizes merit in Lea’s study. He explains that Lea is not putting dogs down but rather putting them in their proper context. What Wynne touts about dogs is their outstanding capacity for affection. Cats, I feel, are more aloof. So while Lea concludes that dogs are not particularly extraordinary, I would say that by being so affectionate toward humans, they have created the best possible lives for themselves. I once had a plumber working in my house who, eyeing my dog asleep on a pillow, told me, “In the next life I want to return as an American dog.” Now if that doesn’t show superior intelligence on the part of dogs and their ability to earn that kind of existence, I’m not sure what could reveal a higher IQ. Certainly our elected officials are not nearly so endearing.
