The doctor said he explains to potential donors they can live with one kidney, and they must follow a healthy lifestyle after donation that includes avoiding certain medications, monitoring their health closely and following up with their primary physician. He said after donation the remaining kidney compensates for some of the organ’s function lost from donating

the other one. A donor can live anywhere and have initial blood work and urine testing done by their own doctors and lab services, according to the doctor. However, if they pass initial tests, in the case of Orlik, they must travel to Florida to meet her doctors. A patient’s insurance will usually take care of the donor’s medical expenses for anything involved with the donation, including up to three years of follow-ups. Frank Orlik said during his mother’s medical crisis he has learned so much about organ donations. For example, he found out about kidney swaps where a living donor is incompatible with the intended recipient, but exchanges kidneys with another donor-recipient pair. Discovering this aspect has made him even more hopeful that his mother will get a kidney. “I’m praying for a miracle that someone will be able to be a living donor for her,” he said. Teresa Orlik said her son using social media to spread the word about her search has made her optimistic. “It gives me tremendous hope that we’ll be successful,” she said. Anyone interested in helping Teresa Orlik can contact her case coordinator, Tita BordingerHerron, at 904-956-3259.

History Close at Hand

Historian shares memories of Three Village Christmas past BY BEVERLY C. TYLER

THREE VILLAGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

“Whitman’s chocolates offered exclusively in the Three Villages by Meister’s Pharmacy, East Setauket — The Woodbox, Stony Brook,” was how the advertisement read in December 1957. Preparations for Christmas and the holiday season were much like today in many ways. The traditions and ceremonies have not changed much over the past 61 years, but many of the images are different. In Stony Brook, Santa arrived at the post office on Saturday morning, Dec. 14, and set up his workshop in the firehouse from Wednesday through the following Monday, Dec. 23. A party was held for the children of the community on Saturday the 21, sponsored by the fire department and the Stony Brook Teenagers Club. Children’s parties were also held at the East Setauket Fire House on Friday, Dec. 20, and at the Setauket Neighborhood House on Monday the 23. For the adults, there was a Home Outside Decorating Contest with the judging on Dec. 30 conducted by members of the Three Village Garden Club. Christmas shopping in 1957 often included a train trip to New York City to visit Macy’s Department Store or a drive to Garden City to shop in one of the many stores there. A shorter trip might have included shopping in Swezey’s Department Store or the Bee Hive in Patchogue or a drive to Smithtown with its many shops along Main Street. There were, of course, stores closer to home such as Moffett’s Department Store in Port Jefferson, with branches in Setauket and Stony Brook. The Stony Brook Apothecary and Meister’s in East Setauket included a soda fountain and a variety of gift items and greeting cards. For gift giving there was the Redfern Shop in Port Jefferson, which had a branch store in the shopping center in Stony Brook, and Woodfields, “For the best in Men’s Wear,” in Port Jefferson. The Redfern Shop, exclusively women’s wear, advertised, “P.S. to men ... the Port Jefferson Redfern Shop (only) is setting aside Wednesday and Thursday evenings, December 18 and 19, as stag nights. Open each evening until 9 p.m. Let our sales girls help you in your selections. And everything will be beautifully gift wrapped.” A purchase of jewelry, silverware, china, or watches could be made at Davis Jewelers in Port Jefferson or a piece of jewelry could be bought at Franz Kauffman and Co. also in Port Jefferson. In Stony Brook John Pastorelli advertised, “Village Barber — watch repairing — ship’s clocks — watches — jewelry.” For a youngster, no Christmas season was complete without a trip to Port Jefferson to look around Oettinger’s Department Store with its table after table of toys, games, mittens, shoes

The Christmas party at the Setauket Neighborhood House, above, was held every year through approximately 1957. The Redfern Shop in Port Jefferson, below, was once the place to go for gift giving during the holiday season.

and every imaginable gift for mother, sister or dad. In Port Jefferson, at the Gem Stores, you could see the Lionel and American Flyer trains and the new bicycles that were so much a part of Christmas. The Gem Stores always had a train set running and a large selection of new freight cars and accessories. Remote-controlled toys were popular in 1957 as were dolls, stuffed animals, hobby kits and scale model airplanes, boats and cars. Popular children’s books that year included the new book by Dr. Seuss, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “Bed-knob and Broomstick” by Mary Norton. Books on the bestseller list included “By Love Possessed” by James Cozzens, “On the Beach” by Nevil Shute and “Peyton Place” by Grace Metalious. Not everything connected with the holidays required one leaving home to purchase it. Eggnog could be ordered from Randall Farms, Evans Amityville or Branglebrink Dairy and delivered to the doorstep along with milk, eggs, butter and cream. Grocery shopping was not as convenient as today except for “Community Grocer — Charles Wackenheim” and P.W. Smith and Son in Stony Brook, which advertised, “Choice meats of all kinds — Grocers — Fresh and frozen vegetables. Fresh fish on Friday — home-made sausage — orders delivered.” A fresh turkey could be picked up at Rudi Fischer’s Turkey Farm in Port Jefferson Station. To buy from a supermarket, residents had to travel to Port Jefferson for H.C. Bohack and Co. or A & P or to the National Food Market in Port Jefferson Station. The images of the way we prepared for the

holidays fade into the past especially as the landscape changes form. We tend to forget that where a solid area of asphalt now covers the ground alongside Route 25A between Old Town Road and Ridgeway Avenue were once open fields and woods. It seems as if there must always have been a road running past the East Setauket Post Office and down the hill to the west. Is Stony Brook University just another part of the landscape that was always there? Even the southern part of the Stony Brook Village Shopping Center must have always been there. Yet, decades ago none of these existed. Near where the Village Market stands

in Stony Brook was a magnificent three-story Victorian home, the Whitford house. Where the state university rises through the trees were only woods and trails. Some parts of our landscape have existed longer — 50 years, 100, some even over 200 — and they help us to remember our past and especially the traditions and ceremonies that are so important in our lives. Beverly C. Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket.

Education

Three Village institutes strict policy to combat vaping Three Village Central School District, which hired a drug and alcohol counselor a year ago, has taken additional steps to combat a health concern affecting teens across the country. At the Dec. 12 school board meeting, trustees adopted a measure to institute a zero-tolerance policy, with “immediate” consequences to students found vaping or with vaping paraphernalia on district property. Vaping, often promoted as a safe alternative to smoking, is the process of inhaling and exhaling vapor from an electronic cigarette or similar device. The practice has reached alarming rates among American middle and high schoolers, who have gravitated toward “pod mods” — vaping devices about the size of a flash drive that use cartridges with highly concentrated doses of nicotine and are oftentimes “flavored.” Beginning Jan. 2, 2019, Three Village students caught vaping or with vaping devices or materials, such as liquid nicotine, oil or drugs, will receive a five-day, out-of-school suspension. Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich announced

the measure via robocall and in a letter that was emailed to families and posted on the district’s website last week. A second offense would be referred to a superintendent’s hearing and could face “further repercussions,” the letter said. “We’re hoping that this lets our students realize that we’re serious about discouraging vaping at school, on school property, in the building, etc.,” said Irene Gische, board vice

president and policy committee chair, during the meeting. The National Youth Tobacco Survey, a voluntary survey administered to students in middle and high schools across the country, showed that e-cigarette use among high school students has spiked about 78 percent since 2017, with about 3.05 million students reporting that they use e-cigarettes in 2018 (or 20.8 percent). Among middle school students, the number

went up 48 percent to about 570,000 users (or 4.9 percent). Though a recent study published in the medical journal JAMA Network Open shows that while vaping exposes users to lower doses of chemicals than traditional smoking, e-cigarettes are still dangerous. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that e-cigarettes pose a particular threat to adolescents because they are more susceptible to addiction and their developing brains can be harmed by nicotine. Additionally, research from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles suggests that vaping makes it more likely that a teen will go on to smoke traditional cigarettes. In September, the Food and Drug Administration released a statement voicing its commitment to making it more difficult for young people to get their hands on these products, and warned manufacturers and retailers to stop marketing and selling to underage users. “As a school district, we will continue to educate our students, focusing on prevention, counseling and promoting healthy lifestyles and choices,” Pedisich said.

Romaine announces Brookhaven receives AAA bond rating Brookhaven is on solid footing when it comes to its finances. On Dec. 12 Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) announced that S&P Global Ratings, an American financial services company, assigned its top-tier AAA long-term rating to the town’s series 2018A and 2018B general obligation bonds. The municipal bond is one that is secured by a local government’s pledge to use legally available resources, such as tax revenues, to repay bondholders. “Our financial team has worked hard to achieve this AAA stable rating, but the real winners are the taxpayers who will save millions of dollars in the years ahead,” Romaine said. “We owe it to them to spend their money more wisely.” S&P Global also affirmed the same rating on the town’s existing bonds. Based on recent local municipal bond sales, it’s been estimated this rating and bond sale has resulted in a $1.65 million savings for taxpayers, according to a press release from Brookhaven township. The town plans to finance construction of

ambulance buildings, open-space acquisitions and other infrastructure projects with the bonds. The $20.8 million general obligation bonds will be amortized over 20 years, according to the release. S&P cited in its AAA ranking a very strong economy, with the town’s access to a broad and diverse metropolitan statistical area and a local stabilizing institutional influence; strong management, with strong financial policies and practices; and solid budgetary performance with operating surpluses in the general fund and at the total government fund level in fiscal 2017. There was also budgetary flexibility and strong liquidity, among others. According to S&P’s rating announcement, the Brookhaven’s rating is higher than the U.S. 10-year Treasury note. S&P believes “the town can maintain better credit characteristics than the U.S. in a stress scenario.” Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), who is the board liaison to the town’s Department of Finance, said the rating is due to the town’s fiscally conservative ethos. “The AAA Stable rating is clear evidence that our conservative fiscal policies have made a significant impact, saving taxpayers’ hard-earned

dollars,” Bonner said. “I am proud to continue working with Supervisor Romaine and the finance team to help build on the success that we have already achieved.” Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) credited the board

with working toward balancing the budget and responsible fiscal management. “We tackle this process with the goal of continuous improvement,” Cartright said. “Receiving the highest bond rating, once again, is a reflection of this effort.”

LIPA settles with Brookhaven Town over plant assessments BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A New York State Supreme Court judge approved the Town of Brookhaven’s settlement with the Long Island Power Authority over the Port Jefferson Power Station’s tax assessments. In the agreement signed Dec. 14, the $32.6 million tax assessment on the power plant will be reduced by around 50 percent incrementally over the next nine years to $16.8 million, starting with the 2017-18 tax year. It’s a not-so-final finale to what has become years upon years of grinding legal battles and anxiety over what will happen to local taxes should LIPA, which claimed its power plant has been overassessed by hundreds of millions of dollars for nearly a decade. LIPA’s lawsuit wanted its assessments reduced by approximately 90 percent. Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said in a statement the settlement will benefit Brookhaven in the form of lower electric bills. “This deal puts an end to the uncertainty of this plant over the course of nine years and gives finality to this issue,” Romaine said. “I have always believed that all property assessments should be fairly based on property value.” Brookhaven officials said that without a settlement, taxpayers faced the potential of being liable for $225 million to LIPA, and the power authority has said LIPA customers will save a total of $662 million by 2027. “It was a reasonable settlement, one we can justify to our 1.1 million customers,” LIPA CEO Thomas Falcone said. While this settlement promises savings for Brookhaven residents, the agreement has made Port Jefferson residents, especially those living

close to the two red-and-white smokestacks, question what their taxes will look like in the near future. In October the Port Jefferson School District released a series of slides showing they annually received a $17 million payment through LIPA’s tax payments, but this would be reduced to $13.8 million by 2027. While Superintendent Paul Casciano said he and his staff are still reviewing the impact of the settlement, he sees the outcome could be even worse. He expects school programs will have to be cut in the next few years, with tax increases for residents. “It’s going to affect the tax base,” the superintendent said. “Even if our budget was voted down, there’s a high likelihood that residents will see a double-digit increase in their tax rate.” The settlement will also require the district to amend their plans for the 2019-20 budget next year. Falcone said the school district already enjoys lower annual school taxes at $6,273 compared to neighboring districts calculated at little more than $10,000 based on 2015 tax data. “It means they will go from a ‘great deal’ to a ‘good deal,’” Falcone said. “They’re still going to have the lowest taxes of their neighborhood.” The CEO added that it was unfair for the rest of LIPA customers to have to subsidize the Port Jeff school district through their higher bills. “I think at some point you have to say what’s fair for those 1.1 million other customers because they pay their school taxes, too,” he said. The Port Jeff superintendent said the village has been conciliatory about letting a power plant operate within its boundaries, whereas other places in Brookhaven would have barred the plant from existing in the first place. “Are you, as a Brookhaven resident, really going to make out on your LIPA bills? I doubt

Career fair to help students explore the future

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Businesspeople are lending a hand in the Three Village Central School District to help students figure out the career path that’s the best fit for them. Local businesses have partnered with the school district to form the Three Village Industry Advisory Board. Its first initiative is hosting the Ignite Your Career … Discover Your Opportunities career fair Jan. 9, which will give junior and senior high school students the opportunity to learn about potential career paths. According to a press release from the school district, before the fair, students in grades seven through 12 will take a “career DNA” analysis called the Holland Code. The evaluation reveals career paths that correspond with a student’s personality which is denoted by different colors. Michael Ardolino, owner of Realty Connect USA/Team Ardolino and co-chair of the advisory board, said the students who sit on the advisory board have contributed many exciting ideas. He added all the businesses at the career fair will have a table marked with a color from the Holland Code corresponding with the personality that dominates its field, with minor colors that show other types that may be involved in the business. Businesses are always looking for quality people, Ardolino said, and students can discover interesting information at the event about various fields of industry. One example is how the role of mechanics has changed to where computers are now widely used. Several businesses will also incorporate videos to educate attendees about their selected field. Ardolino said the school district made the right move in opening the career fair to junior high school students. “Let’s invite them all here so we can begin to enlighten them to the opportunities of what they can be doing with their lives,” he said. The event could also be helpful for students to choose elective courses based on their interests and find clarity when it comes to college majors, according to the press release. “We can learn much from our community partners on what businesses and postsecondary schools need most in terms of the skills that drive their success,” said Alan Baum, executive director of secondary, curriculum and human resources in the school district. “By collaborating with our partners we can learn from them to better inform our own instructional practices. By keeping our eyes open and listening to the business community and our postsecondary colleagues, we hope Three Village remains at the forefront of providing our students with a meaningful education, authentic experiences and equip them with the skills they need for future inquiry and success.” The career fair will include more than three dozen businesses from across Long Island, including trades and crafts that are in high demand. Local companies participating include Competition Automotive Group, PPS Advisors, Gold Coast Bank, Atlantic Businesses Systems, Camco Services of NY, K&M Truck and Auto Repair, Journey Martial Arts, Equity First Foundation, Realty Connect USA/Team Ardolino, Stafford Associates, Vision World, ProSysCon Computer Technologies, Alternatives For Children, Stony Brook Child Care Services, Bagel Express, Holiday Inn Express, H2M Architects + Engineers, The Meadow Club, The Curry Club, The Meridian Financial Co., Jesco Brick & Concrete, Rossman Tax Service and Bliss restaurant. The career fair will start at 7 p.m. Jan. 9 in the Ward Melville High School cafeteria.

Letters to the editor

Dear Santa of NYS

I am a pediatrician and I work, reside and am a parent in Suffolk County. On behalf of my patients and my children, I urge the Suffolk County Legislature to pass the proposed bill that will ban the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes and flavored nicotine in our county. E-cigarette use is one of the leading public health issues affecting teens today with a 75 percent increase in use among teens in the last year alone. E-cigarette and liquid nicotine use is rampant here in Suffolk County. Kids are vaping in school hallways, classrooms and bathrooms and are sharing devices with friends. It is odorless and smokeless and the vaping devices resemble pens, USB drives and battery chargers, making their use easily concealed. This issue is of huge concern to parents who are worried about their children. Most of the teens simply do not know the potential harm they are

Editorial

We, the taxpayers of Suffolk County, believe that as a whole we’ve been pretty good in 2018. Many of us have been busy working long hours, sometimes in multiple jobs, to make ends meet and provide for our families given the high cost of living on the Island. Suffolk police report violent crime and hate crimes are down — we’ve been doing our best to behave. This holiday season we’re asking you, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), to double, no, triple check the list we know you’ve been diligently drafting up in Albany as to who’s been naughty or nice. We understand that you have nearly 20 million residents to look out for, but we have a holiday wish list we’d like you to consider before announcing your budget for the 2020 fiscal year: ● Increase state aid to our public schools. School taxes make up the largest portion of our property tax bills. President Donald Trump’s (R) Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is about to hit this April, which limits homeowners to a $10,000 deduction of their state and local property, income and sales taxes. By increasing school funding, it will hopefully help keep future school budget increases low. ● Consider proposals to reconfigure Long Island Power Authority. Long Islanders pay among the highest rates in the Northeast for their electricity; and any reorganizational measures or changes that could bring relief would bring financial relief. ● In the alternative, push through legislation that would allow municipalities and school districts who lose a tax base from utilities, such as LIPA, to access reserved state funds to offset the impact on Suffolk taxpayers. ● Provide more state funding and grants for alternative energy. Our environment is sensitive from being on an island, and increasing our renewable energy resources would help ensure clean water to drink, safe land to live on and, hopefully, lower costs of producing electricity. ● Lay out state funding for sewers on Long Island. Many of our downtown areas are hurting financially, as business districts are struggling to consider growth without sewers. In addition, providing grants to help homeowners with the costs of transitioning from old-fashioned cesspools to modern systems should improve the area’s water quality. ● Set aside more money to repave and reconfigure our heavily traveled state roadways, such as Route 25 and 25A. Driving along these congested roadways brings several perils, including large potholes, inadequate street lighting and sections that flood in heavy rainstorms. Funds could be used to re-engineer troublesome spots that repeatedly cause accidents and repave sections that are in disrepair. In addition, we understand that you have plenty of elves, your fellow elected officials, who can help enact changes and allocate funds to help make the rest of our holiday wishes come true: ● Start construction on the Rails to Trails project from Wading River through Mount Sinai. The project is much anticipated, but some funding and consideration must be made for neighboring property owners who want privacy of their homes and yards. Sure, we have quite the holiday wish list this year. But we hope you can see the gifts we’re asking for will benefit all.

Suffolk County should ban e-cigarettes causing themselves and the potential addiction for which they are putting themselves at risk. Of teens who vape, 65 percent are not even aware that the products contain nicotine. Therefore, it is our responsibility to protect them. Clearly the fruity and dessert flavored products with colorful packaging are meant to target youth, and we know that kids who start vaping are more likely to try cigarettes. We know that the nicotine in all these products is not safe, is addictive, can harm the developing brain and is associated with addiction to other drugs. In addition the chemicals in the vapor can cause irreversible lung damage and contain potential carcinogens and heavy metals. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the flavors, design and marketing of the nicotine products appeal to youth and normalize and glamorize nicotine product use. E-cigs

and liquid nicotine are addicting a new generation of youth to nicotine and are reversing more than 50 years of progress in tobacco control. As far as I’m concerned, with youth being the primary target of these flavored products, their sale should be completely banned from the market. We have the ability to do that here in Suffolk County with the proposed legislation. We have a responsibility to do everything in our power to make it as difficult as possible for youth to get their hands on these products. I can say with absolute certainty that pediatricians and parents throughout Suffolk County would welcome and be extremely grateful if this bill was passed and I urge the Legislature to do so.

Zeldin, King supporting bad actors in Saudi On Dec. 13, the U.S. Senate voted 56-41 to end United States support for the Saudi-led attacks in Yemen. This is a humanitarian crisis that has killed many thousands of civilians. As well, it is estimated that some 85,000 children under the age of 5 have died from malnutrition in three years of war. The U.S. has provided military support for the Saudi attacks, and in a rare show of bipartisanship the Senate voted to end our role in this atrocity. Unfortunately, this bipartisan effort was stymied by the House of Representatives, where in a 206-203 roll call vote, a resolution tucked into the farm bill tabled this matter from even getting a vote in the House for the

remainder of this session of Congress. Two of our Long Island representatives, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Peter King (R-Seaford), in effect voted for the U.S. to continue participating in the Saudi attacks. This is a little publicized vote, but it deserves our attention. We know that Saudi Arabia is a bad actor in the region, and a frequent violator of human rights. We know that 15 of the 19 attackers on 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia. We suspect that the Saudi crown prince was responsible for the death of American resident Jamal Khashoggi. There are ample reasons that we should not be supporting a Saudi attack on the sovereign nation of Yemen, especially one that is brutally killing

civilians. And yet Zeldin and King, in their vote to table this matter, have made their decision clear. They will support bad actors in the Middle East and enable the murder of civilians, despite all the evidence pointing to the role Saudi Arabia plays in Middle East affairs. It is crucial that we hold Zeldin and King accountable for their cowardly, immoral votes. The U.S. Congress is supposed to serve as a check and balance on the executive branch, and Zeldin and King have failed to do so yet again, instead carrying water for the Trump administration. This is a moral outrage that should not be ignored by constituents. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Stand up, it’s time to take action Now is a good time to act ... if you are fed up with attacks on health care, corruption, voting rights and influence of big money on our republic. Because of the midterm elections, we have our

leaders’ attention and need to make sure they understand what we want exactly. Mailing a letter or dropping by the office does not require you to reach out in advance and schedule

a meeting. Just show up, and deliver your message. To this, they will pay attention. Jerry Reynolds Coram

Trying out our best and worst on family

s we marinate in the warmth of the holidays, we have a chance to spend time with friends and family. We’ve chosen most of our friends ourselves. OK, maybe that’s not exactly true, as we inherit friends from our parents when we’re young: “Oh, why don’t you play with Timmy, who is the son of my best friend whom I met when I was your age”; and from our children when we’re older: “Hey, dad, can you hang D. None out with Allisa’s parents while we of the above wander through BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Great Adventure theme park.” Despite the somewhat limited pool of people

from which to choose our friends, we often pick those people who share similar values, a sense of humor or a tolerance for politicians. We don’t have the same luxury with our families. We have nutty family members who say and do all kinds of things that make us cringe, that cause us to laugh long after the events are over or who simply make us scratch our heads. We often think it’s the other family members who are the oddballs but, in truth, we’re all pretty strange. Long before people voted each other off shows or islands in situations that seemed completely contrived in reality TV shows, family members confronted the awkward moments when they saw each other, year after year, at holidays, birthdays, special occasions and, perhaps, uncomfortable or less-than-ideal moments. Families provide us with opportunities to test ourselves and our theories without worrying about losing a job, losing a friend or losing our minds. We can challenge ourselves and our families with ideas percolating in our heads, but

that may not be exactly what we believe. Our families receive the best and the worst of our impulses, as we step forward to help each other, but also encourage independent growth and development. As older members of families, we hope to lead not only by our words but by our examples. Failing that, however, we hope that our spouses, children, parents and siblings can see us for the range of our contributions to the family, and not just for that ignominious moment that we’d just as soon forget. Families offer reality checks on the myths we create for ourselves. “No, Dan, you didn’t win that horseback-riding ribbon because you had such a great ride. You fell off the horse and the judges felt sorry for you when you landed in horse manure. Good try, though.” These moments when families hold up mirrors to us can help ground us, keeping us from becoming too proud or mighty. On the other side, however, when we’re feeling down, families can serve as the perfect counterweight,

suggesting that we have succeeded in more difﬁcult circumstances and that they are certain of a positive outcome, even if we harbor signiﬁcant doubts. Movies about families often run the gamut of emotions, from slapstick, to comical, to serious and even bruising, as rivalries that run amok can become the origin of dysfunction even when we step away from these familial contacts. Certainly, therapists often start and end with the family dynamic, drawing an understanding of habits we may not know we have until we look back at the lives and roles that brought us to this point. At their best, families can inspire and encourage, while suggesting that we can and should believe in ourselves while we pursue our goals. Ultimately, families who demonstrate unconditional love and support, even if they do laugh at us periodically, set the kind of example that makes the accomplishments of the next generation possible. Here’s to everything we give, get and laugh about from the people we call family.

The year that was at TBR, with more to come

he end of the year has snuck up on us. Have you noticed that the pace of the passing years seems to have accelerated? This is our last regular issue for 2018, and it seems ﬁtting to take a bird’s-eye look at where we’ve been and what lies ahead. Most immediately coming are the next two issues of special note, that of Dec. 27 and Jan. 3. The ﬁrst is People of the Year, and we call it our only all-goodnews issue. This is the 43rd year we are honoring outstanding residents for going that extra mile and thereby Between helping to make you and me our hometowns the special places they BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF are. In doing so, they quietly elevate the quality of our lives. We solicit nominations for this issue from

you, our readers, community leaders and neighbors. The editorial board meets with focus groups in the last quarter of the year over breakfast or lunch to discuss nominees and to further inform us of what is happening here, sometimes quietly, sometimes not so much. It is a treat for us to interact with the community on such a pleasant mission. We also get suggestions via emails, texts, phone calls and even an occasional petition; our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts are available, too. We then take those names back to our conference room and amid lively discussions, select those whose stories we print in the People of the Year issue. Sometimes the ones that don’t ﬁt become feature stories we run in the new year. I have been told that there are collectors who have all 43 issues. What a shelf life! The second, the Year in Review, is new this year and is done in pictures in a kind of Life magazine treatment. It is on special white stock to help enhance the photo reproduction and is in full color. Life magazine — for whom I worked when in my early 20s and is no more — eat your heart out!

suspect that it, too, will have a long shelf life. Some special offerings of this past year certainly should include our first full-length movie, “One Life to Give,” which was screened in June at the Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University to a full house of more than 1,000 viewers. The story follows the early years of the Revolutionary War, specifically through the lives of Nathan Hale and Benjamin Tallmadge, and the start of Washington’s Culper Spy Ring that was headquartered in Setauket. I am pleased to be able to tell you that we have filmed a sequel, called “Traitor,” that takes place four years later. It is now 1780, and with great luck the Patriots have captured British spymaster, John André. Again Tallmadge is central to the plot that reveals the discovery of Benedict Arnold’s betrayal and the ultimate fate of André. It will be screened in the spring and you will all be invited. Another first for us this past year was the Cooks, Books & Corks event at the Bates House off Main Street in Setauket. Many local authors came with their books for sale, and many local restaurants came with their specialties for tasting

on a sweet summer evening. There was wine and unending good food for both the body and the mind. Our engaging headline speakers were Guy Reuge from Mirabelle Restaurant, internationally famous naturalist Carl Saﬁna and the inspirational dean of the School of Journalism at SBU, Howard Schneider. The event raised money to fund a journalism intern next summer. In answer to the many times we have been asked, yes, we are planning to do it again. A new print offering this past year was the sleek Washington’s Spy Trail booklet. In 1790, Washington took a slow, ceremonial coach trip along what is now 25A, from Great Neck to Port Jefferson, to honor the Setauket spies who had contributed so much to the victory of the colonists. The booklet marks the route, which this year sports road signs, with information about various points of interest along the way. We will again be publishing the story with updates. I am running out of space, but there was a lot more that we innovated this past year with much more to come in 2019. Meanwhile thank you for your participation. We could not do any of this without you.
