The SBU graduate said he told the manager he had been let inside the establishment last year, back when Harbor Grill was then named Schafer’s. He said he was told the policy on headgear was a new policy. Several other students and graduates of SBU, who did not wish to be named in this article, all confirmed watching Grewal be denied entry. Bansri Shah, a digital media/pre-law student at SBU, posted a message to Facebook about the situation, saying she felt it was especially concerning considering the diversity of students from the nearby university. “Honestly, I never expected this type of action taken from an establishment in Port Jeff considering the racial diversity in a college town right next door, Stony Brook, but I think it’s really messed up,” Shah said in her original Facebook post. In a conversation over Facebook messenger, Shah said she arrived as several people were trying to talk to the bouncer about what

Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant said she had messaged both Shah and Grewal and had told the latter she was sorry about what had allegedly happened to him, and that “this does not reflect the tenor or tone of the policies of the Village of Port Jefferson.” She also suggested to him his first step would be to file a police report if he wished to commit to any penal or civil legal action. “I didn’t want that incident to become a black eye on the village,” the mayor said. “Anybody of race, color, sexuality, we embrace and invite everyone here.” The graduate said he plans to file a police report and pursue some sort of legal action. “I was just really surprised that something like this happened to me at a college bar,” he said. “I always read online and on social media about Sikhs and other minorities facing similar situations, but never thought that I would face the situation in my life living on Long Island.”

Village of Port Jefferson
Locals protest against killing deer in Port Jefferson BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A score of people from Port Jefferson and surrounding areas gathered in front of Village Hall May 8 to protest what they said is a potential mass slaughter of innocent deer. “Hunting tears families apart and leaves countless orphaned … they grieve for them, just like humans do,” said Gabby Luongo, a protest organizer and representative of animal rights group Long Island Orchestrating for Nature. “Trying to manage the deer through lethal means is also inefficient. When deer are killed, more deer will use those available resources, the temporary availability in the food supply will cause those does to breed at an accelerated rate.” The protesters traveled from nearby areas like Shoreham, Selden and Fort Salonga as well as a few from the villages of Port Jeff and Belle Terre. They said they came in response to news the village has been making plans for some sort of deer management program, particularly some kind of controlled hunt or professional culling. The protest signs read, “Don’t kill my family” and “Port Jeff: Animals are not ours to

slaughter.” The signs also had the LION and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals logos printed on them. In April, the Village of Port Jefferson hosted a public forum with representatives from the New York Department of Environmental
Conservation, along with other federal environmental agencies. Those representatives said deer have had a particularly harmful effect on the Long Island environment, especially in them eating vegetation and ground cover, including tree saplings that would

replace the ever-shrinking forest growth of Long Island. Village code still curtails hunting by restricting the use of any firearm or bow and arrow within village limits. However, Mayor Margot Garant said they have received a letter from the New York State Attorney General, Letitia James (D), stating the village does not have the legal capability to regulate hunting, as that is a state matter. “The community has a lot to think about and address, the board of trustees has a decision to make, whether we change the code or keep the code in place and wait for that code to be challenged,” Garant said during the public portion of the meeting, attended by the protesters. “We are not here supporting the hunting of deer.” The mayor said that no decisions have yet been made on the issue of deer population, and at the meeting left it open to any forms of suggestions, saying for the moment, the code restricting hunting remains on the books. However, in conversation after the April deer forum, the mayor said if a person had the right permits and brought a hunter onto their

Brookhaven seeks grant for shellfish in MS and PJ harbors Town digs deeper into multiple oyster projects The Town of Brookhaven is hunting for a grant that would allow them to plant nearly 200,000 new oysters inside the Port Jefferson and Mount Sinai harbors, an expansion of the town’s push to clean up coastal waters with shellfish. At its May 2 meeting, the town board voted unanimously to apply for a grant from the Long Island Sound Futures Fund, which enables public projects for small organizations and municipalities related to coastal waters. The total cost of the project equals $201,400 and the town is looking to be reimbursed for just under half of that amount. Brookhaven has maintained several million shellfish at its Mount Sinai mariculture facility, but recent storms have depleted some of that stock. “We seed a lot in Mount Sinai and in Port Jeff, but we’ve had these torrential rains the last few years,” said town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point). While Mount Sinai Harbor is already home to many shellfish growing in cages along the shore, Port Jefferson lacks a specific facility. Bonner said if seeded in Port Jeff, the number of people with eyes and ears on the local waterfront

property, and the hunter was staying a lawful distance from other residents property, the village could not and would not go after those residents who broke the code. “I think we have to take a really hard look at what we’re doing, not just with deer, but all the other animals that pay the hard price for our greed and our non-consideration of them,”
should help prevent poaching. By last year’s estimates, the hatchery is expecting to yield approximately 12 million hard clam seed and 3 million oysters by 2019. But the continued efficiency of the town’s oyster programs depends on the $8.6 million project to repair the Mount Sinai Harbor jetty, which has been structurally damaged in recent years after a multitude of severe storms hit Long Island. Because of this, Bonner said the harbor has trouble “flushing” as water retreats and surges back in to renew the harbor. The town is also looking to perform a dredging project within the harbor’s inlet. Bonner said once the jetty is fixed, the oysters will be able to grow in a much safer, cleaner environment. “Everybody’s cautiously optimistic, but of course there are no guarantees,” she said. The town’s mariculture programs, which raise oysters for planting in both the North and South shores, have grown in the last few years. The intent is to help clean coastal waters, which threatened by algal blooms and hypoxia, a condition caused by a lack of oxygen in the water due to excess nitrogen. Brookhaven Town has been applying for numerous grants for its Mount Sinai mariculture facility, located near Cedar Beach next to the Shoreham resident Madeleine Gamache said. Protesters at the meeting said instead of a hunt or cull, the village should instead look into nonlethal sterilization programs, such as that currently taking place in Head of the Harbor with the Avalon Park & Preserve. Scientists from Tufts University and The Humane Society of the United States have taken a $248,290 grant from the park to fund the six-year study. “We would like to see some kind of birth control,” said Belle Terre resident Yvonne Kravitz. “We’re very much opposed to having

Mount Sinai Yacht Club. Last June 20, the town announced it had received $400,000 from New York State to improve the facility’s power supply and its water filtration system. At its May 2 meeting, the town officially authorized the execution of contracts with LIPA and Verizon to allow more power into the facility. In addition to the Mount Sinai and Port Jeff oyster projects, Bonner added this was the first time the town was applying for the Futures
Fund grant. Last year, the fund handed out $2.57 million to improve the health and ecosystem of the Long Island Sound. The town has also reaffirmed its two-year contract with the Stony Brook Yacht Club, which provides the club with a maximum of 100,000 seed oysters per year and 50,000 juvenile hard clams, along with oyster rafts — a man-made apparatus that enables shellfish to grow.
these beautiful animals hunted and killed.” Others called for the village to change the code to allow for higher fencing, as current fencing is restricted to no more than 6 feet. Still, others were adamant the village needs to step up and perform a culling or controlled hunt of deer. “I don’t know one person from where I live who doesn’t want you to go out and do a big cull,” said Port Jeff resident Molly Mason. Garant said the village had a meeting with the Village of Belle Terre May 7, and the two
villages together barely make up more than 4 square miles. A healthy deer population would be 15 deer per square mile but the local mayors have said the real number could be several hundred per square mile. Belle Terre has had 33 vehicle collisions with deer on Cliff Road alone, according to the Port Jeff mayor. The Village of Belle Terre voted at the beginning of this year to allow hunting within the village. Since then Mayor Bob Sandak said hunters have killed approximately 100 deer so far.

Traitor is the thrilling sequel to the award-winning One Life to Give. Set during the end of the American Revolution, it chronicles the incredible true story of the capture of British spy Major John Andre by Culper spy master Benjamin Tallmadge. This riveting film brings to life the daring mission of a Setauket local to thwart a plot that surely would have marked defeat for the Continentals.

Port Jefferson Station gang member among three indicted in murder plot
Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) and Homeland Security Investigations of New York announced May 14 the indictment of three 18th Street gang members for allegedly conspiring to murder two individuals they believed were MS-13 gang members. “This is one of many cases where my office and Homeland Security worked together to not only bring bad actors to justice, but to actually prevent violence,” Sini said. “We are no longer responding or waiting for tragedy Th Story ofwe Nathan Hale, a proactive approach, toestrike; are taking Benjamin and due toTallmadge excellent law enforcement work, & the of The Culper Spies weOrigin are preventing murders.” Wilber Campos Chicas, know as “Troya,” 25, of Port Jefferson Station; Guillermo Linares Alvarez, known as “Extrano,” 19, of Huntington Station; and Isidro Aguirre Canelas, known as “Chino,” 26, of Centereach, are each charged with one count of conspiracy in the second degree, a felony. Chicas and Canelas have been identified by law enforcement as members of the Tiny Locos clique of the 18th Street gang, which is based in Port Jefferson Station; and Linares Alvarez has been identified as a member of the Shatto Park Locos clique, located in Huntington Station. An investigation by the district attorney’s office and Homeland Security that began in March revealed intelligence that Chicas, Alvarez and Canelas allegedly conspired to murder two victims who they believed were members of MS-13, which is 18th Street’s rival gang. Between March 15 and April 24, the defendants allegedly took several steps in furtherance of the murder conspiracy, including sharing photos and descriptions of the two targets and their whereabouts. The defendants were allegedly going to use two machetes, which were owned by Alvarez, to murder the two victims. They
also allegedly discussed obtaining a car to use while carrying out their attacks. The three defendants, all of whom entered the United States illegally, were apprehended by Homeland Security agents in April. “Working quickly, agents were able to take all three defendants into custody before they were able to execute their plan,” Sini said. “But for the dedication and professionalism of Homeland Security, these murders likely would have occurred.” “Homeland Security and Suffolk County will not stand for violence at the hand of any gang member,” said Gerald Handley, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security New York. “Whether the intended victim is innocent or a known member of a gang, we pay the same attention to the details and remain as proactive as possible to stay in front of the violence. We will stand united with our law enforcement partners and continue to arrest and seek prosecution of gang members.” The three defendants were arraigned on the indictment on March 13 by Suffolk County Acting County Court Judge Karen M. Wilutis and were remanded without bail. If convicted of the top count, the defendants each face a maximum sentence of eight to 25 years in prison. Chicas, Alvarez and Canelas are due back in court respectively on May 29, 30 and 31. “Today is the latest example of Suffolk County law enforcement using the conspiracy statutes under New York State law to prevent violence,” Sini said. “We are collecting intelligence, analyzing that intelligence and disseminating it in a way that is allowing us to prevent violence and hold dangerous gang members accountable. None of this would be possible without the partnership between my office and Homeland Security as well as other law enforcement agencies.”

Boater safety tips ahead of Memorial Day weekend It’s official — the boating season starts on Memorial Day, May 27. Here’s some tips for you before taking your vessel crashing over the waves. You get the family in the car and go to the marina, but being a responsible boater, first of all you check the weather forecast and make sure that you won’t face any surprises out on the water. You get to the boat and go through the required check-off items: the fuel level, check oil, Nav-lights in order, see that the personal flotation devices are in the right place — at least one per person and easily accessible in an emergency, set up the anchor for easy deployment, flares and other emergency items in order and handheld VHF radio charged and readily available. You will have an up-to-date first aid kit on board. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list. Assuming you are a responsible boater, the final thing to do before you cast off is to inform the passengers and crew as to where the emergency items are and where and how to don the PFDs. And if you are a diligent boater, you file a float plan with friends, so that in the eventuality you aren’t where you’re supposed to be in the coming days, they can inform the Coast Guard of a potential problem. All of the above seems like a lot of hard work to go out for a day trip to the local anchorage, but with some experience and perhaps some nasty events you will tend to do these things automatically. Better yet, have an actual check-off list so you forget nothing. Then you’ll have a fine day to go boating. Added to the above list should be what the Coast Guard teaches — rather preaches — to its boat crews and to the Coast Guard Auxiliary as well: Situational awareness, that is, what’s going on around you. In the parlance of the local guru, it’s called mindfulness, or the state of knowing the environment in which your boat plows. These include water state, weather — both now and what’s coming — wind, other boats and buoys, and all the impediments that exist on local waters. It’s important to have a designated lookout in case someone falls overboard. Above all, know the rules of the road, or the elements that dictate, mainly through common sense, what to do when boats approach one another. This covers a myriad of circumstances in which both professionals and amateurs alike find themselves. These regulations, also known as COLREGS, are devised to avoid collisions at
sea. The main elements should be learned either by way of courses given by various authorities, such as the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, or through a variety of books and videos. The Port Jefferson auxiliary gives a Safe Boating Course as well as a course entitled Suddenly in Command, conveying essential know-how when the second-in-command must take over the running of the boat. You will, of course, have a nautical chart available for the waters in which you wish to sail. The chart, unlike a land road map, gives you broad swaths of safe passages and also tells you which regions to avoid due to shallow depths, rocks and a wide range of impediments. One can navigate using charts — themselves marvels of information collected over years of careful observations by mainly government vessels — your key to safety and enjoyment on the water, whether you’re out for a day or on a longer passage. If you’re a power boater or a sailor with an accessory motor, you should know something about the innards of the beast. Have you enough fuel for your planned voyage (boats frequently have notoriously inaccurate fuel gauges). Will you check the oil dip-stick, or do you assume that the marina personnel does that for you? Note they won’t unless you ask them to. Are all your oil, water, fuel and water filters clean and can you change-out a clogged filter? Water cooling sea cocks open? Can you troubleshoot easy problems and do you have the essential tools for such work? Most aspects of inboard and outboard motors can be handled by a layman with a little study. A quick course on troubleshooting your power plant by the marina mechanic can really payoff. Don’t forget that emergency “road side” help from Sea Tow or Boat US can save the day. Paddle craft safety is of growing concern to the Coast Guard, with over 20 million Americans enjoying the sport. According to industry figures, some 100,000 canoes, 350,000 kayaks and an increasingly large number of stand-up paddlers are sold annually. A tragic consequence of these large numbers is that as of 2015, 29 percent of boating deaths were related to paddle craft. In response, the USCG has generated a Paddle Craft Vessel Safety Check, which is administered free by a USCG-approved vessel examiner, such as Coast Guard auxiliary personnel. Paddle crafters should wear PFDs and have a sound producing device, such as a whistle. Herb Herman is the flotilla staff officer for public affairs, Port Jefferson Auxiliary Flotilla 14-22-06.

Port Jefferson rail line electrification a near-future possibility
BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The electrification of the Long Island Rail Road’s Port Jefferson Branch is back on the table, and government officials say they’re optimistic about the prospect, since now there’s some money to fund the idea. New York State Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) during an informal interview May 9 at the Huntington train station, where he was personally handing out commuter surveys, said he predicts that the line will become fully electrified within the next five years. “It’s been talked about for decades,” he said. “It’s time to make it happen.” Currently, the branch east of Huntington uses diesel or double-decker, dual-fuel trains, that are prohibited in Manhattan. Commuters between New York City and points east of Huntington on the Port Jefferson Branch must change from diesel to electric trains, or vice versa for the reverse commute, at various junctions, typically in Huntington. The process is time consuming and inconvenient for passengers, who are often subject to inclement weather on an open platform. Electric trains would eliminate the need to change trains and would create a time-saving, one-seat ride to Manhattan. Gaughran, who is serving his first term in the state Senate, has been a major proponent of the MTA Rail Act, an overhaul plan, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed into law last month. New York State’s 2019-20 budget funds the overhaul and includes an expected $1.5 billion in capital projects for the Long Island Rail Road. Funds will be used for a variety of
needs, but new trains and increased service are top priorities, according to Gaughran’s office. Electrification makes sense now, Gaughran said, because it would help address both congestion at Huntington’s station, which serves 41,440 daily weekday riders, while speeding up the slow commute to New York City. Gaughran said that he’s already taken steps to advocate for electrification. He’s also conducted mobile town halls on trains during the morning commute to solicit passenger input on all rail service issues and will present passengers comments from his surveys to railroad officials later this year. Details from the Long Island Rail Road The LIRR is currently evaluating proposals, according to its spokesperson, and will soon award contracts to begin the electrification studies for both the Port Jefferson Branch and the Central Branch, which connects Babylon to Hicksville via Bethpage. The studies will determine what is required to complete each project. Overall, the electrification project, in addition to a new fleet, would require significant investments in infrastructure such as new substations, a third rail and a second track between Huntington and Port Jefferson, upgrades to half-dozen platforms and work on bridges, viaducts and crossings, according to LIRR’s spokesperson. Additional train storage yard(s) will also be needed. The railroad does not yet have funding for construction but is seeking it for the Central Branch electrification in its 2020-24 capital program. Port Jefferson electrification would require additional funding in several other future programs.

A faster, one-seat ride A common complaint among passengers interviewed for this report during the May 9 morning commute aboard trains on the Port Jefferson line supported the need for more rapid service. “It takes two hours to get to New York City from Stony Brook,” said John Morgan, a mathematician at Stony Brook University’s Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, who uses the train twice a week. “It’s too slow.” Larry Penner, a former Federal Transit Administration director in the New York region, who is familiar with MTA operations, capital projects and programs, said the one-seat ride to Manhattan in general is the best bang-for-thebuck idea for improving rail service for riders. “Electrification of Ronkonkoma was selected over Port Jefferson back in the early 1980s,” Penner said. “Perhaps this time, Port Jefferson will come out on top this go-around almost 40 years later.” Penner noted that the electrification of the
railroad’s Central Branch east of Hicksville to Babylon holds the potential of creating a new north/south service route, which will provide detours to Jamaica during major service disruptions on the main line between Hicksville and Jamaica. For years, local elected representatives have recognized the commercial value and the resulting tax revenue benefits of electrification. “That would be a regional game changer for us,” Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant said during a phone interview. The Long Island Rail Road is the busiest commuter railroad in North America, carrying an average of 301,000 customers each weekday on 735 daily trains. It’s comprised of more than 700 miles of rails on 11 different branches. For most lines, the terminus is Penn Station in Manhattan, with some lines originating or ending in Queens and Brooklyn. The Huntington line, in addition to serving 41,440 daily weekday riders, serves another 11,210 travelers on the Port Jefferson line.

Business owner in Mount Sinai redefines his life through fitness BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
Helping people and seeing the positive impacts on their lives is the best part of the job for Anthony Amen, the owner of Redefine Fitness in Mount Sinai. “There’s nothing better than that,” he said. Though for Amen, his path to opening his new business last fall started almost a decade ago when he was a sophomore in college at SUNY Oswego. It was there in February 2010 when Amen was playing broomball, a game played on ice in a similar way to hockey, but instead of a stick it’s done with a rubber-headed broom, and instead of skates players wear rubber-soled shoes. He was playing with his friends, but his life changed when a friendly game took a turn for the worse. “We were playing a game and a friend of mine went in for a slide tackle,” he said. “I was trying to avoid the hit and slipped, fell backwards and whacked my head on the ice very hard.” Amen suffered a serious concussion, along with injuries to his neck and back. For threeand-a-half months he was unable to look at any visible light and sat in his bed in the dark for much of the time. As a result of his head injury, Amen began suffering from debilitating migraines. He could barely move his head and he was unable to put his hands above his head. He said sought help from doctors, but each told him that concussions take time to recover from, and it was something he would have to learn to deal with. “I went to 25 different doctors and they all

told me the same thing — ‘There’s nothing wrong with you. We can’t do anything,’” Amen said. “They put me on Percocet and muscle relaxants and told me ‘Good luck.’” He said a doctor told him he was “a physician, not a magician. I don’t know what you want from me.” It was those experiences that served as the catalyst that would change Amen’s life. Amen said he was stubborn, and he didn’t want to give up and didn’t want this to be his norm. “I started experimenting and working out in the gym to try to make myself better,” he said. “The more I did the better I felt.” The Mount Sinai business owner said he was able to fix himself from getting migraines every week and being unable to get out of bed, to never having one in more than five years. “One of the biggest moments for me was being able to put my hands over my head
again,” he said. Amen fell in love with fitness and wanted to teach people what he had learned. He began working at various gyms throughout Long Island as a trainer and in management, with a goal to eventually own a place of his own. A yearand-a-half ago, his vision became a reality when he decided he would open Redefine Fitness. “It was very stressful to open a business, but I was passionate about this and I had to try,” he said. ”I think it was the right time for me to try. I have no wife and kids — I didn’t want to regret not doing this.” In fall 2018, Redefine Fitness opened its doors with one of the goals of making the connection between fitness, medicine and rehabilitation. They use research-based information in conjunction with their certified trainers to make tailored workout programs for their clients. Amen admits the first few months open have gone better than he could have ever imagined. “The clients have been so great, they tell me they see the passion in me,” he said.
One experience that sticks out to Amen was when he trained a 65-year-old woman who had a lung transplant and had a breathing machine. He said she would struggle to tie her own shoes. “We got her to squat 175 pounds and got her to run,” he said. “It was amazing seeing this woman’s life change from being told you couldn’t do something. It shows that if you put your mind to something you could achieve anything.” The Mount Sinai gym has five trainers, including Amen, and offers one-on-one training sessions, weight loss programs and various classes as well as special needs and post-rehab programs. In the future, Amen hopes to expand the gym to other locations, and wants to continue making a positive impact in the community. Reflecting to his pre-college days, Amen said he was not the athlete type and used to run 15-minute miles and be happy about it. “Looking back I would’ve never pictured this in a million years,” he said. “I want to show [people] that there’s no giving up. I want to pass that knowledge and passion to everybody else.”

International journalists explore PJ village BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Something is always new to somebody. Sixty-three people from 23 different countries were in Port Jefferson village May 10 as the International Association for Literary Journalism Studies surveyed the surroundings as part of its 14th annual conference. The conference has been held in many other parts of the world, such as Paris, France; Porto Alegre, Brazil and Vienna, Austria, but this is the first event held on the U.S East Coast. Though the conference is being hosted through Stony Brook University and the School of Journalism, the association
wanted to emphasize Port Jefferson’s unique flavor of historical significance and modern small-town charm. Members came from as far away as Mexico, Brazil, Poland and all the way to Australia. Chamber of Commerce President Barbara Ransome took the visitors on a tour from Danford’s Hotel, to the Village Center, which was once a shipwright warehouse where shipbuilders constructed masts and other ship parts, and up East Main Street to the Knitting Corner, which was partially the old location of the Bucket of Blood inn. The group then traveled past the Port Jefferson Free Library, visiting the Brewster House and other landmark homes before ending the tour at the Island Christian Church.

Before the end of the school year, the third-graders will select the instrument they would like to begin to learn when they enter fourth grade in September.

Port Jefferson grad to go to Czech Republic on scholarship BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A Port Jefferson graduate will be spending his summer in the Czech Republic, teaching high school students English thanks to a Fulbright scholarship. Alden Mohacsi, 22, a history major at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, will be making his way to the Czech Republic this summer for the chance to teach high school students English through “art and music.” “It’s an incredible honor to be named a Fulbright Scholar,” Mohacsi said. “I can honestly say that expression, ‘It takes a village,’ holds true for me.” Mohacsi has been a docent at the Port Jefferson Historical Society, and thanked them, among others, for helping him make it through college. He is graduating May 19 with a bachelor’s degree in history and a minor in art history. “I’m so grateful for all the help and guidance I received growing up in Port Jeff —

Editorial Election day debate
Mark your calendar: May 21 is election day! And according to New York State law, so is the second Tuesday in July for most Suffolk County fire departments. The third Tuesday in March is also election day for many village trustees and propositions. Election day for state and local primaries, well that’s June 25 this year. When do you vote on library budget? Each local library has a different day for its election. So, why then do we call the first Tuesday in November election day as if there’s only one day when citizens vote? Election days can be tough to track. It’s like the nutty old Abbott and Costello skit “Who’s on first, what’s on second, and I don’t know is on third.” Yet elections are no laughing matter. Collectively, all of these elections amount to increased spending, which overtime adds up. It’s not easy getting it straight — not only these dates, but also all the spending. In recent years, large and seemingly extravagant multimillion-dollar public projects have been both approved and declined by popular vote with lower voter turnout throughout our circulation area. The $14.9 million bond for the new Setauket Firehouse was approved on its third try with just 580 people voting out of a population of several thousand in the fire district. Last year, a bond presented by the Mount Sinai School District was voted down with a 664428 tally against the project. Mount Sinai has a population of over 12,000. If one or two days each year were designated election day, it would be easier to hold elected officials accountable by enabling taxpayers to see a broad overview of taxation on one ballot. At TBR News Media, we would support consolidating elections into one or two universal election days each year. Make it a national holiday, so people are more keenly aware of their obligation. Maybe turn Columbus Day, a federal holiday, into election day? With one or two annual election days, citizens could more easily track spending and stay abreast of community affairs. But until this happens, as we said, mark your calendars. All elections are important: They determine where our money will go and how much of it. On May 21, Long Islanders will vote on board of education members and school district budgets, which account for a significant majority of our local tax bills. It’s a crucial vote that typically gains support from parents with children in school, while retirees or people with more limited income, who may have different priorities, make a point to show up at the polls to say no. That’s the system we have now, so be sure to exercise your right to vote May 21.

Letters to the editor
Snaden has the village’s interests at heart I have known Kathianne Snaden for several years now as our children go to school together at Edna Louise Spear Elementary in Port Jefferson. I was immediately impressed with her as a classroom mother as her attention to detail and devotion to her children was exemplary. Over the years, I watched first-hand as Kathianne became more and more involved in every aspect of this community, from her involvement at the Greek church, her support of the performing arts studio downtown or her love for photography, which she shares with us all — everything she does, she
does 1,000 percent. Last year, after getting involved in our local village government, Kathianne decided to run for village trustee. Although I worked on her election campaign, disappointingly, she lost her bid by two votes. Yes, two votes! Instead of giving up and “packing it in,” remarkably, Kathianne stayed involved, and continued to dedicate hours in the evenings and late afternoons to attend the meetings at village hall for various village committees. In the past year, she has attended every board meeting and has helped keep our young families in-
formed and involved. There is so much going on all the time down at village hall and I know that Kathianne is already plugged in and is so well-informed. As a trained paralegal, Kathianne is ready to serve and can hit the ground running. She cares deeply about our village, our quality of life and about the safety of our community. I urge you to vote for Kathianne Snaden — let’s not lose again by two votes! Let’s capitalize on her commitment and send her to work on June 18. Jennifer Testa Port Jefferson resident
New York needs new anti-bullying laws My name is Devin Moore. I am 15 years old, I am a freshman in high school, and I am the founder of #RaceToSpeakUp — an anti-bullying organization. I was inspired to create the #RaceToSpeakUp organization after being racially cyberbullied in middle school. Three of my former white middleschool classmates took my face — my African-American face — and put it with a picture of a gun to my head, my face on top of a gorilla suit and my face going into the trash. They also sent me hateful images of a KKK member, a noose and a meme saying, “Black People Aren’t Functioning Members of Society.” I don’t want another kid to go
through what I went through. I am on a mission, and it’s a pretty big mission. I want change. I want change that will make an impactful difference in people’s lives. I don’t want to see another kid committing suicide or going into a school with a weapon. I want a state bullying law in place that will hold schools accountable. Private and public schools must report all bullying incidents to the school superintendents. Superintendents must record and post public bullying records that parents can access online. Each school website will have a box titled “Anti-Bullying” and it will list the number of bullying incidents and how it was resolved. We need also need mandatory anti-
bullying classes in schools. Teachers must first be educated through an anti-bullying workshops and then apply lessons they learned in the classroom. Students can role play and reenact bullying situations and learn how to resolve bullying. I am now working with Suffolk County Legislators DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) and William Spencer (D-Centerport). I created a petition on www.change. org titled “Let’s Get This Bullying Law Passed!” This is an important matter — one that can save lives. Devin Moore East Islip student Founder #RaceToSpeakUp
Single most attraction of Island is its people I always enjoy reading Daniel Dunaief’s opinion piece, and last week’s column, “The agony and ecstasy of Long Island life” was no exception. I wish to take the liberty of adding one element of “ecstasy” to his piece, if I may be so presumptuous. As an unapologetic and extremely fortunate native Islander, in my opinion, the single most positive
attraction of our Island is its people. The diversity, empathy and resourcefulness of our neighbors is something of which we can all be proud. Just look at the volunteerism reflected by our fire departments, EMS personnel, school board trustees, library board trustees and countless other organizations that significantly add to the quality of our
lives where their lifeblood is the dedication of the women and men we call neighbors. Admittedly we may be loud at times and in a hurry most of the time, but I wouldn’t trade the friends and neighbors with whom we share our Island with anyone anywhere. Tony Parlatore Stony Brook

Divergent expectations, realities and memories of parenting
A
s I ponder the next step before my pint-sized daughter leaves the proverbial nest, I recall the incongruities between what we expected, what happened and what we remember. Please find below a list of some magical and not-so-magical moments. The birth of our daughter What we thought would happen: We had 40, no, make it D. None 42, weeks to get of the above ready for the birth of our daughter BY DANIEL DUNAIEF who waited well past her due date to appear. We took Lamaze classes — “breathe honey, breathe, there you go” — we read baby books and we had a birth plan. I figured my wife
would let me know “it’s time” when her water broke or when the squint-through-them-andthen-smile-radiantly contractions arrived. We’d jump in a taxi and a wonderfully cheerful nurse would welcome us to the hospital. What actually happened: Our daughter really didn’t want to come out, so the doctor scheduled an induced delivery. We casually packed our small bags, drove slowly to the hospital and walked up to the entrance. Numerous drugs, two days, almost no sleep and considerable anxiety later, our daughter still hadn’t made her appearance. What we remember: This is tough, because we recall some of the hours of confusion and anxiety, but the end result was so life altering that one of our recurring memories was of a nurse coming in, to ask how many times we changed her diaper after she spent hours in the room with us. Wait, were we supposed to change her diaper? Early trips to the doctor What I thought would happen: He’d examine her and tell us what a wonderful job
we were doing, and would offer us timely and helpful advice about surviving without sleep. What actually happened: She weighed less than she did at birth. Is that good? Is that bad? No, it’s normal, he assured us. Why are you giving her shots already? Can’t she get shots later? She looks so peaceful. Why are you making her cry? What I remember: That shot seemed so painful. We don’t remember our first shots, but we both felt as if the doctor were stabbing us with a sword when he gently inserted the needle in her arm. First steps What we thought would happen: She’d take some steps, we’d clap, and she’d be on her way. What actually happened: We didn’t take away her walking toy until someone told us it was keeping her from learning to walk. What we remember: Silly us, we delayed her walking because we let her keep using the toy, but, hey, she did just fine. First athletic event What I thought would happen: She’d try to
throw or catch and ball and I’d be thrilled with her effort. What actually happened: She played with dandelions and chatted with her friends. What I remember: She looked great in that red T-shirt with her mitt turned backward toward her knee. Going to high school What we thought would happen: She’d share her daily experiences with us and we’d laugh and offer sage advice. What actually happened: She grunted, we growled, and now she’s graduating What we remember: She smiled and waved at us from the volleyball court and she laughed with us while we made cookies for her friends. Driving What we thought would happen: She’d drive slowly and carefully and listen to us. What actually happened: She told us all the advice we gave her wasn’t how we drove. What we remember: She passed her driver’s test and can do errands and drive herself around. Thank goodness.
Balancing a career and motherhood
I
t’s still the same old story, only 60 years later. When I was an undergraduate at Barnard, the college president, Millicent McIntosh, who was well ahead of her time, urged the women — actually we still called ourselves “girls” then — to prepare themselves for a career and not just for marriage. “Statistics tell us that you will be alone during some parts of your adult life, whether from widowhood, divorce or not finding a mate. You may have to support yourself and your children, should you have them.” Between We giggled at the message. you and me The question BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF then became: Who will take care of the children while we are working, and what
will be the effect of a working mother on those children? In short, the issue was how to balance a career and motherhood. Although she didn’t say it, the answer for President McIntosh, our role model who had several children, was to have help in the home. That was made possible by the fact that she and her physician husband made a sufficient living to pay for that help. That meant for women to have a career was a luxury, and we resolved the career/motherhood dilemma by assuring ourselves that it was quality time spent with children, not quantity, that would make the difference in their lives. How pat an answer. How innocent. How ridiculous. This was just before the world changed, just before Betty Friedan, Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem and the invention of birth control pills. Within the following 20 years, certainly by the early 1980s, women poured out of the kitchen into the workplace, and the two-paycheck family became the norm. Values in America had changed, family income had improved, but the conversation was the same: Who will take care

of the children and how will women and men — and the children at home — cope? So how have we coped? For starters, women can pursue success in the workplace much more readily, if not yet with pay equality. Women can also support themselves rather than stay in a marriage they may deem difficult. The other side of the coin is that the frustrations of balancing the workplace and motherhood that we imagined early on have indeed come true. And lots of other changes have taken place in society that weren’t imagined. The relationship between men and women inside marriage has changed. The drive for equal pay in the workplace continues. The rate of divorce has soared in the last half-century. And fewer Americans are even getting married than ever before. In 1960, 82 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 were married, but in 2010 that rate had dropped to 44 percent. By 2018, the reproductive rate in the United States had fallen to a 32-year low, which will of course have all sorts of implications for the future

workforce and economic consequences on Social Security, among others. Remaining in the middle class now depends, for most people, on two incomes. And the work-life balance question? Well, that problem still hangs in the air. Someone has to take care of the children, but who? I can honestly say that almost every career-successful wife I have ever interviewed and asked how she managed the home-workplace situation has expressed frustration with the outcome even as she loves her work. Couples today work out their own arrangements. Those fortunate enough to have the funds hire help. Roles in marriage have sometimes reversed, with the husband staying at home for the family. Some corporations have realized the benefit of offering paid family leave, so that infants are not left to third-party care. Grandparents have been pressed into service to care for their grandchildren. But the bottom line is that the choice to work has now become the necessity in most cases for both partners to support the family. The choice is still a luxury.
