Davis house society gets grant

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com The Davis Town Meeting House Society has raked in some needed cash flow.

The nonprofit organization that works to protect Coram’s Lester H. Davis House received a $5,000 omnibus grant from the Suffolk County Legislature to assist with community event and program planning.

“We were very excited and very happy,” society president Maryanne Douglas said on receiving the grant.

“We’re buying things to improve and

further our community outreach and to help us finish our renovations.”

After applying and being approved for the grant, the society presented a detailed list of expenditures to the Legislature, which then approved the purchases of various items and allocation of funds. The organization will spend the money and provide receipts to Suffolk County, which will then reimburse the society.

Some items on the purchase list include sconces to light the upstairs of the house, archive boxes, stamps and ink cartridges to send out news-

letters, a PA system and a rack to display artifacts, according to Douglas.

Other funds are allocated for guest speakers, like the 3rd New York Regiment, which recently performed a re-enactment for the organization.

“We aren’t completely electrified, so lighting is a big deal,” she said.

The society currently operates out of the Swezey-Avey House at the corner of Yaphank-Middle Island Road and Main Street in Yaphank, but anyone is free to visit the Davis house, at the corner of Mount Sinai-Coram Road and Middle Country Road.

County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) presented the check to the organization.

“The members of the society do a wonderful job preserving the beauty and integrity of the Davis House, while providing educational programs for residents,” Anker said.

“I’m proud to present the grant and I look forward to continuing to partner with the organization and its members to improve the quality of life in our community.”

Upcoming meetings and presentations at the Swezey-Avey House include Elizabeth Kahn Kaplan’s “George Washington’s Long Island

Mount Sinai, surrounding area saturated with senior housing

on Long Island — which the civic is currently helping to develop near Nesconset Highway with Nassau-based group Basser-Kaufman.

“I think there is an acknowledgment that the lack of workforce and millennial housing on Long Island in general is a problem,” Arrington said. “There’s much more acceptance today than ever before that millennial housing is needed here, and we need to do something about it. There are many, many different communities where seniors can live, so I think senior housing far outstrips the millennial housing stock throughout Long Island.”

The Pond View Estates project, which the civic estimates won’t be completed for another two years, was chosen in the past over single-family housing because, Becker said, the town didn’t have the same level of density of senior complexes as it currently has.

“That was the last one we thought would be appropriate,” she said, adding that any time the developers discussed the project at a civic meeting, residents were excited about it.

In the late 1990s, a lawsuit was filed against the Town of Brookhaven by the civic over an abundance of proposed housing units on a stretch of 25A parcel. The civic won and, as a result, it was mandated that a portion of what is now the Ranches property be turned into a continuing care retirement community. The development has gone through various iterations and contractors over the years. Becker said Engel Burman is in the process of filing an application.

Both Becker and Arrington said there’s no opposition from the civic at all when it comes to these upcoming developments.

Mount Sinai resident and civic member Monica Stone said she is in favor of the retirement communities, as they will contribute to tax revenue, 80 percent of which goes back to the school district.

“Since it will be for profit, the taxes from it will certainly help the tax base in Mount Sinai,” she said, “since the school district is heavily reliant on residential property taxes for revenue.”

Town Congressman Zeldin calls on House to address addiction Discusses death of Miller Place man last month in speech on floor

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) was on the House floor Sept. 13 to honor Miller Place’s 25-year-old Nicholas Lafond, who lost his battle with addiction last month.

Zeldin delivered a speech to the U.S. House of Representatives pleading for the need to prevent further loss of life from the heroin and opioid abuse epidemic.

“A bright, intelligent and talented young man, Nick was loved by all who knew him,” Zeldin said in his speech. “He was an honor student who was accepted to Stony Brook University with the intention of pursuing a career in education. However, from a young age, Nick struggled with anxiety, which sadly led him down the path to heroin addiction.”

He fought addiction tirelessly, with support from family and friends, and sought several forms of treatment.

On Aug. 31, Zeldin attended a press conference in recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day, where he met Lafond’s parents, Francine and Leonard, and discussed their son who had been laid to rest only two days prior.

“The courage of these heartbroken parents to come to this event and talk about Nick so soon after his passing is absolutely incredible,” Zeldin said. “As a father, the thought of losing a child is unbearable. Through my discussion with Mr. and Mrs. Lafond, you could feel their commitment to fighting this ter-

rible epidemic so that no other parent would have to go through this experience.”

Shortly after the discussion, the congressman received a letter from the Lafonds detailing their son’s story and outlining so many of the steps that could be taken to make drug addiction a thing of the past.

“From their words, you can feel their passion for this cause,” he said, adding in his speech that although it is too late to save their son, Francine and Leonard have dedicated themselves to easing the grip of addiction upon our society. “Their selflessness and bravery in face of unthinkable tragedy is truly beyond compare.”

The congressman used the example of Lafond to discuss how the opioid issue is one of the absolute greatest threats we face as a nation, and it will not subside unless we continue to act.

“Here in my home county of Suffolk, heroin and opioid abuse is an especially deadly and destructive scourge,” he said. “There is no one solution to ending the drug [crisis]; this is a complex issue involving all levels of government, our community leaders, law enforcement, schools, churches and everyday Americans.”

Nicholas Lafond’s mother agreed.

“To make headway against this awful epidemic, the approach must be multi-focal, swift and forceful,” she said. “We not only need dollars to be put toward law enforcement and treatment, both of which we know have limited effect. We also need to concentrate on addressing the underlying psycho-

logical issues that lead to opioid use. These are not drugs one uses to ‘party,’ they are extremely strong and effective pain killers one uses to escape life. The world is a harsh place for kids today, so much different than when I or even you were young.”

Zeldin cosponsored and helped pass into law the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (S. 524), or CARA, which provides a total of $8.3 billion in funding over five years to help combat the heroin and opioid abuse crisis, and funds many initiatives on the local level.

“While this is a step in the right direc-

Charter company to offer week-long trips from Port Jeff hotel By aLex PetrosKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com A new business venture slated to open in Port Jefferson Village in spring 2018 will chart a course all the way to New England.

Lime Charters, a New York-based charter company, and Aeroyacht, a yacht dealer specializing in luxury sailing catamarans, have partnered with Danfords Hotel, Marina & Spa to establish a Port Jeff location where charter boats can be rented by interested patrons to be sailed through the Long Island Sound to the New England region for weeklong trips. Sailors would have the option of setting off on their own, or the company can recommend a captain to bring on board the small vessels to handle the navigation.

According to Lime Charters’ website, most captains charge between $150 and $250 per day. Depending on the season and the size of the boat, prices range from around $4,000 to $5,000 for the seven-day use of a catamaran, which is large enough to take up to 10 people. The company requires proof of sailing experience for those declining to bring along a captain, and pre-charter checks allow the company to assess sailors and ensure they are comfortable with the boat. Though the company advertises the boats can be used to sail to Rhode Island, Connecticut, Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod, among others, charterers are permitted to take the vessel essentially wherever they would like.

one of Lime Charters three vessels available for rent beginning in 2018 for those interested in sailing on week-long trips from Danfords Hotel, Marina & spa in Port Jeff to the new england region.

Village Mayor Margot Garant said this is the first such business ever available in Port Jeff.

Bill Beasley, the founder of Lime Charters, said in an email at a recent international boat show he received a flood of interest in an offering like this in New York.

“Up until now, folks had to go further

north or south to charter a catamaran sailboat,” he said.

Beasley shed some light on why Port Jeff is an “ideal location” to set up a launching area for Lime Charters. “It’s half way between New York City and the Hamptons — just an easy car or train ride out to us … Port Jefferson is a perfect sailing harbor town with

its shops, diverse restaurants and, of course Danfords. It is a perfect partner considering their central waterfront location and opportunity for charter guests to stay at either before or after their charter. We hope to attract clients who like to be pampered and Danfords certainly supports that level of service.”

Christina Whitehurst, director of sales and marketing at the hotel, said Danfords is equally excited by the natural hospitality experience partnership.

“We’ve been doing a lot of upgrades to the marina and the area, and this is proof the word has gotten around,” she said in a phone interview. “It’s just going to expose another audience to Danfords.”

Garant expressed excitement over the possibilities the charter trips could present to residents and visitors in Port Jeff for those who want to add a one-night stay before or after their charter experience.

“I love it, I think it’s fantastic,” she said of the service and its base in the village she oversees. “I think it’s an excellent way to have more activities on our waterways.”

Garant also called Danfords a perfect anchor point.

Currently, Lime Charters has a fleet of three boats, though Beasley said their plan is to add more. Each vessel has a cooking area, and they offer the option of having groceries delivered to the boat.

Lime Charters is currently taking reservations for the 2018 boating season.

Celebrating the women’s suffrage movement

Longwood Fair

Thousands of residents celebrated the return of the Longwood Fair at the historic Longwood Estate in Ridge Sept. 9 and 10.

The event, which had not been held for the past four years, featured entertainment, traditional crafts, vendors, pony rides, primitive cooking, Irish step dancing, Revolutionary War re-enactments and more.

Town of Brookhaven officials also stopped by the Ridge Civic Association booth to thank members of the organization for participating at the fair and for all the members do for the Ridge community. Pictured above from left are Kathy Speizio, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), Ridge Civic Association President Lee Brooks, Diane Noto, Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), Town Clerk Donna Lent (R),

Doreen Farrell, Councilman Mike Loguercio (R-Ridge) and Danielle Pilota.

The Longwood Estate was passed down through the generations dating back prior to 1817. In 1973, developers Wilbur Breslin and Herbert Carmel purchased the property for commercial and industrial development.

Town officials and area residents strongly opposed the plan, and in 1974 Breslin and Carmel donated the manor house and 35 acres of land to the town. During its 200-year history, the house knew fallow periods and a notable 60-year “golden age” of love, family and bustling activity. The estate now is the host to various activities for the residents to enjoy.

For more information about Longwood Estate, visit www.brookhavenny.gov.

Town of Brookhaven Clerk Donna Lent (R) was joined by Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) in celebrating the 100th anniversary of voting rights for New York women with a parade and rally held in Lake Ronkonkoma.

Parade participants were dressed in period costume honoring the suffragists who marched in streets across the country fighting for the right to vote.

Ellyn Okvist of the Lake Ronkonkoma Heritage Association was instrumental in organizing the rally where many pioneering suffragists were highlighted, including Lillian Brown Devere of Lake Ronkonkoma, Sarah Birdsall Otis Edey of Bellport, Mary Louise Booth of Yaphank, Harriot Stanton Blatch of Shoreham, Rosalie Gardiner Jones of Cold Spring Harbor, James Lees Laidlaw of Sands Point,

Ellen and Nathaniel Schmidt, Delilah Garretson Cox and Susan B. Anthony.

Other participants included the Long Island Woman Suffrage Association, Suffragist Committee, League of Woman Voters of Brookhaven, Yaphank Historical Society, Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum, Lake Ronkonkoma Cemetery, American Legion Post 155 and the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County.

Cougars country can’t contain excitement during homecoming celebration Centereach opened its second game of the season with a homecoming ceremony Sept. 16.

The football team charged out onto the field, and after a 29-8 halftime lead against Riverhead, the kickline and cheerleading squads took to the field to perform. The band played throughout the game, and attendees held signs of support for their favorite players, greeting them on the field following the big win.

Kiernan motivated to play in memory of brother

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Centereach senior Alec Kiernan, who scored four touchdowns and recorded three sacks Saturday, wasn’t just motivated by the fact he was playing in his last homecoming game.

The team rallied around Kiernan after his brother, Danny, died Sept. 10. He said he had no idea how the circumstance would impact his performance in the 43-8 win over Riverhead Sept. 16, especially after missing practices on Thursday and Friday to attend the wake and funeral.

“Everyone was there for me today,” said the senior, who decided to play in the game

Centereach 43 Riverhead 8

to honor his brother. “Everyone played for Danny, my family, and we played the best game we’ve played in a while — especially in the second half. I felt confident on both sides of the ball.”

Junior wide receiver and linebacker Devin Demetres set the tone early for the Cougars, returning the opening kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown and early 7-0 lead after sophomore Matt Robbert’s extra-point kick.

“That was our plan,” Demetres said of the play. “We knew on that play to hit hard and bring it all the way. We had great blocks.

That score gave us momentum.”

He said Kiernan was also a momentum booster.

“We made our blocks and played for him — when he played well, we were playing well,” the junior said. “Kiernan is a team leader, he’s the captain and everyone looks up to him. He makes something out of nothing, and it helped us so much along the way.”

With a 10-yard run, Kiernan extended the lead to 14-0 with nearly seven minutes still remaining in the opening quarter. He broke up a Riverhead pass minutes later, but the Blue Waves were able to score on the drive. A 50-yard pass reception for a touchdown and a two-point conversion made the score 14-8.

In that moment, Centereach head coach Adam Barrett said he didn’t doubt what his now 2-0 team is capable of doing, and the Cougars proved it. Kiernan, who rushed for 213 yards on 23 carries, was slid the ball on a pass fake and ran 11 yards into the end zone.

Robbert, who was perfect on the day, brought the score to 21-8 at the end of the first quarter.

“Special teams is huge,” Barrett said. “Last year it was a weakness of ours. We put in a lot of time in the off-season working on that, and we were able to get one early. A lot of these kids have been playing together since

they were little, and these were the guys that were freshmen when I took over the program four years ago. So we came up together, and it’s nice to see them be so successful so early in the season.”

Senior running back Vinny Liotta later scored on a 21-yard carry, and Demetres completed a two-point conversion for a 29-8 advantage at halftime.

“It was a great team effort,” Demetres said. “Coaches put us in place to get some opportunities, we took advantage of them, made adjustments at halftime.”

Kiernan excelled on both sides of the ball, as he continued to do most of the rushing for Centereach, and halted a handful of wouldbe Riverhead gains with tackles. He had two sacks in the fourth quarter, and alsoran in the final of his four touchdowns.

“It’s a good feeling,” he said of his contributions in the win. “I did it for my brother.

There’s no spot on the field where we were perfect. We can get better everywhere, and we’re going to.”

Kiernan refrained from providing additional details about the circumstances of his brother’s death, but his teammates and coaches alike think he’s already on the path to greatness.

“He elevates the game, even today,” Barrett said. “He’s just a great player and I’m proud of him. I’m glad he had the game that he did.”

Demetres joked he wasn’t sure of the species of the team’s running back.

“He plays like no other person I’ve ever met,” he said of Kiernan. “He’s something else, he’s not human. Today we proved we’re more than a team, we’re more than a family — we’re a brotherhood. We have each other’s backs no matter the circumstance.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Love thy neighbor North Shore residents have been given the opportunity to welcome people with unique challenges or auxiliary needs to their neighborhoods. Unfortunately, many have not greeted their potential neighbors with open arms.

Complaints in three neighborhoods have popped up despite past successes of nonprofits that strive to create a better life for those with disabilities. While many cite traffic and safety issues, arguments seem to lead back to the same thing — fear that property values will go down.

When Smithtown-based Developmental Disabilities Institute purchased a home on Henearly Drive in Miller Place to house six low-functioning autistic adults more than 21 years old, as well as three full-time staff members, many street neighbors objected. Among the issues cited were homeowners’ concerns that staff members entering and exiting the property would cause an increase in traffic and safety hazards in the area.

The opposition is in spite of the fact that the nonprofit DDI successfully runs more than 30 homes throughout Suffolk and Nassau counties, many of which are located in residential areas. The organization also works with the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities in Albany to gauge the number of group homes in an area to ensure that it is not oversaturated.

One resident said she was hesitant about strangers driving up and down her block multiple times and hanging out and smoking, and expressed that concern over her property value.

On Sept. 5 a similar scenario played out in Smithtown as Long Hill Road residents petitioned the town regarding a future adult home for six developmentally disabled women. The residence was purchased by Catholic Guardian Services, a religious nonprofit that provides a wide array of services and support for the needy in New York.

Like the Henearly Drive residents, Long Hill neighbors chose to argue the potential increase in traffic would create safety hazards. One homeowner Screenshot from Facebook claimed, “The nature and Comments in a closed group in response to the character of the surrounding area would be our Sept. 7 story on the Miller Place house. substantially altered due to these predicted problems.”

In Port Jefferson last month, a lengthy debate broke out on an unofficial villagers Facebook group after a member posted a photo with an angry blurb about the eyesore that is homeless people sleeping at the Port Jefferson Long Island Rail Road station when they cannot be admitted to Pax Christi Hospitality Center.

While we understand the concern over a decrease in property value in each of these three cases, these groups benefit neighborhoods and its residents. There is a track record of success and of upkeep, and we were happy to see others cry out in support of these homes. According to a thread on the Mount Sinai-Miller Place Community Facebook page, the support for the DDI home in Miller Place is overwhelming. It’s nice to see neighbors supporting neighbors, and to see those same people wanting to show that a small group of individuals and their opinions may not always speak for the thoughts and feelings of an entire hamlet or village.

We’d like to preach a reminder that a little bit of compassion toward fellow citizens can go a long way in creating a healthier environment for all.

Letters to the editor

Sanders’ Medicare bill a positive step I am delighted to see a nice amount of Democratic senators co-sponsoring Sen. Bernie Sanders’ bill calling for a Medicare plan for all Americans.

It is a policy that is long overdue in the United States, as most developed countries in the world provide some version of universal health care, and report better overall outcomes in care and spending than our country does. While I recognize that this is a politically heavy lift in a Republican-held Congress and White House, I believe that it is a statement of progressive values and morals. This bill stands in stark contrast to the numerous Republican plans that have been proposed, all of which take health care away

from millions of Americans.

The latest version of Trumpcare, the Graham-Cassidy-Heller bill, is yet another Republican proposal that the majority is trying to push through, without the procedures of committee hearings and a CBO score. They are attempting to do this before Sept. 30, so they can push this through the reconciliation process, which does not require 60 votes.

It is a fiscally and morally irresponsible move, as health care is about one-sixth of our nation’s GDP, and this bill would affect the health care of 32 million Americans. It would also redistribute money to states, who could then choose to waive health benefits,

or deny coverage because of preexisting conditions.

It is only when we as a society accept that health care is a basic human right, that every family deserves to see a doctor when they are sick, regardless of income, that we will at last join the rest of the civilized world in providing for our citizens. I am proud to stand with Sen. Sanders of Vermont and the co-sponsors of this bill, including New York’s Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, calling on a Medicare for all plan in the United States. I believe that these senators stand on the right side of history, and on the side of our citizens.

I thank those who voted for me I would like to thank all of those that came out to vote Sept.

12, Primary Day. I am honored to be the Women’s Equality Party nominee for the position of Brookhaven Town Clerk. I am also humbled to realize I am the candidate selected by the Women’s Equality Party for the 2017 election, which happens to be the centennial anniversary of the women’s right to vote in New York State.

In recent times there has been a great call to civic action, especially for women and young adults — I, however, am not a newly fired up advocate. I’ve been a staunch advocate for women’s rights for more than 30 years, and currently sit as the president of the National Women’s Political Caucus, a nonprofit, bipartisan group that seeks to elect progressive women. It is

inspiring to see all the fresh faces getting involved and reinvigorating for those of us who have been leading the charge. The results of this primary are evidence of how important each individual vote is, with 18 total votes cast. I look forward to continuing to advocate for

women’s equality and I am hopeful that I will continue to be given the honor to efficiently and effectively serve the residents of the Town of Brookhaven as town clerk.

Gary Pollakusky intimidated by Leg. Anker I attended a rally for incumbent Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker last Saturday at her campaign headquarters in Rocky Point.

It was a real eye-opener.

What made the rally stand out was that her opponent, Gary Pollakusky, had to stage his own rally at the property right next door and at the exact same time. He could have held a rally anywhere in the district, but this is what he chose to do.

Why? Only one word comes to mind. Intimidation! He then marched his group right past Ms. Anker’s rally to the opposite corner where he proceeded to rant into a bullhorn. By taking this action, Pollakusky reveals to all exactly who and what he is.

He is just another angry, loudmouthed bully. Do we really need another person of this ilk in government? I think not. I’m with Sarah.

OpiniOn The fine art of setting expectations

I

f we stepped outside tomorrow to a 52 degree day, we’d race back inside and put on a coat.

If we opened the door in January to the same temperature, we might race back into the house to shed that same coat.

It’s all about expectations.

Our daughter figured that out several years ago. Gone are the days when she tells us she thinks she did well on a test.

She doesn’t want us to ask, “What happened?” or

By Daniel Dunaief hear us say, “Oh, but you thought you did well on that test.”

Instead, she often tamps down our expectations, indicating that we’d better brace for the equivalent of the academic cold. If she does better than expected, she won’t have to contend

D. None of the above

with questions. If she met the lowered expectations, she can say that, even if she didn’t do well, she can take consolation in knowing how she performed.

Yes, relationships are all about managing those expectations.

Let’s take a quick look at President Trump. He’s a shoot-from-the-tweet president. He frequently misspells words, gets facts wrong here and there, and attacks his opponents, his allies and anyone in between according to his mood.

Has he done the same thing as our daughter? Is he resetting our expectations? Is he pleased to redefine the notion of a modern-day president?

If, and when, he seems levelheaded, deliberate and considerate, is he climbing over a bar he reset for himself, giving us a chance to applaud the manner in which he interacted with a public prepared for a stream of anger and disdain?

Relationships, as Harry from the movie “When Harry Met Sally” knew all too well, are also about setting expectations. When Harry (played

by Billy Crystal) is sharing one of his many philosophies of life with Sally (Meg Ryan), he suggests that he never takes a girlfriend to the airport early in a relationship because he doesn’t want her to ask why, later in the relationship, he doesn’t take her to the airport anymore.

Some people’s jobs, like stock market analysts, meteorologists and oddsmakers, involve setting expectations.

Built into their forecasts, meteorologists often leave the back door open, in case they’re wrong. As in, “It probably won’t rain, but there’s a 15 percent chance of precipitation today.”

While that forecast is innocuous enough, it leaves a small measure of flexibility in case the weather people missed a heavy band of rain clouds from their Doppler models, which happened recently, leaving my wife disappointed and dripping wet at her office after trudging through an unexpected shower.

Of course, a meteorologist who predicted rain every day in anywhere but Ketchikan, Alaska, where the locals

say it rains 400 days a year, wouldn’t last long, as people would bristle at carrying unnecessary umbrellas through the brilliant sunshine Many years ago, my wife and I went to see a movie. When we got to the theater, the film was sold out.

Instead of turning around, we bought tickets to a film on which we hadn’t read any reviews and knew nothing. We wound up watching “Shakespeare in Love.” We thoroughly enjoyed it, in part because we had no expectations.

Perhaps the most difficult expectations to meet, or exceed, are our own.

Raising the bar for anything — the taste of the food we cook, our performance during a presentation or our ability to stay calm in a crisis — involves risk. Then again, once we clear our new expectations often enough, we know what we can expect of ourselves and can move on to bigger challenges. The rewards, even if we never tell anyone how much more we accomplished than we expected, seem well worth the risk.

A toast to the beauty of upper New York state

his past week, we went “shufflin’ off to Buffalo.” Bet you don’t know where that expression came from. I certainly didn’t know that “Shuffle Off to Buffalo” is a song from Act II of the 1933 movie, “42nd Street,” and that it was a railroad saying even earlier. All I had to say was that I was going to Buffalo, and the response was immediate: “Shufflin’ off?” I was asked.

The second reaction was also the same. “Better bring your long underwear,” I was urged. “And a shovel. Is it

underwear. I did bring a pair of shorts, but I did not wear them because I didn’t see anyone wearing shorts in the city. When I am traveling, I’m a big believer in the “When in Rome” adage.

Actually the city looked quite pleasant to me, larger than I had imagined, clean and with a fair share of tall buildings. The population of more than 250,000 residents makes it the second largest city in the state. I understand that Buffalo, like a number of rust-belt cities, has undergone quite a face-lift.

Admittedly I did not see much of it since I was there for the fall meeting of the New York Press Association, and that meant I was locked into the hotel site where the workshops were held. But we did have a chance to look around a bit when we went out to the Anchor Bar, where Buffalo chicken wings were allegedly invented. It’s a pleasant and good-sized sports bar, and most people at the tables were, sure enough, having chicken wings with blue-cheese dip and cut-up celery sticks on the side, although one lady was eating a good-looking dish of shrimp scampi. She must have been a native.

In the way of cultural attractions, the city has an art museum, a science museum, a theater district, multiple art galleries, and the historic Martin House that was recommended for viewing.

Buffalo was once the scene of considerable wealth from the auto industry, where Pierce-Arrow automobiles were manufactured, also the railroads and the Erie Canal. As a result there are a number of urban mansions. It also has a river walk on Lake Erie that houses several eateries. Food, in fact, is big.

And people we met, in restaurants, the hotel and on the streets were friendly and unhurried — such a change of pace for a native New Yorker like me or even someone born and bred on Long Island. It always helps when the weather is beautiful, which it was for our entire stay.

The Buffalo Transportation PierceArrow Museum was enough to make lovers of antique automobiles cry for joy. The museum, which is large and planning to get larger, also has antique bikes and motorcycles, all in seemingly shiny new condition. And it even houses a filling station designed by

Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s a remarkable piece of architecture.

It was an eight-hour drive from Bridgeport, where the ferry docked, to Buffalo, and that does not count the stops. The roads are excellent, the roadside trees just beginning to suggest autumnal colors, and we spent one night on the way up in Canandaigua, about an hour and a half from Buffalo.

In the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes region, the area is deservedly famous for its Riesling wines, which I confess to having tasted. The village, its name derived from the Seneca tribe, was the scene of the Susan B. Anthony trial in which she was accused of voting illegally in 1873, since women were not then allowed to vote. She was found guilty and fined $100 with costs, which she did not pay.

Colleagues were surprised that we drove to Buffalo rather than just flying there, but I remembered from a previous trip many years ago, when I was a high school student, that the Mohawk Valley and upper New York state are truly lovely destinations. This trip confirmed that memory.
