Repowering Port Jefferson Power Station would likely be off the table if Brookhaven Town approves plans for a new plant in Yaphank.

Another player has emerged to complicate the legal battle with Brookhaven Town and Port Jefferson Village in one corner and the Long Island Power Authority in the other. Representatives from Caithness Energy LLC, an independent, privately held power producer with a Yaphank plant, went before Brookhaven’s board June 26 requesting permission to construct a 600-megawatt plant, which would be called Caithness Long Island II. This is not the first time, as the power company originally approached the town with plans for a power station in 2014. “Caithness is seeking an amendment to the covenant and restrictions so it can utilize cleaner, more efficient equipment that recently became available,” said Michael Murphy, an attorney representing Caithness, during the June 26 hearing. In 2014, Caithness Energy had plans approved by the Brookhaven Town to construct a new 750-MW plant in Yaphank powered by two gas-powered turbines and a steam generator. Both Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) voted against the 2014 proposal, though it passed 5-2. The project has been on hold ever since as energy demands on Long Island are projected to decrease, according to recent annual reports from PSEG Long Island. Then, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) mandated in August 2016 that 50 percent of New York’s electricity needs should come from renewable energy sources by the year 2030. The 600-MW power plant would be constructed on about 81 acres of vacant land zoned for the use based on the 2014 approval. The proposal has several differences from the 2014 plans in addition to the reduced energy output including a reduction from two exhaust stacks to one; use of newer, more efficient technology; and a
reduction from two steam turbines to one. “It creates a platform for renewable energy,” Murphy said. “The new equipment has rapid response capability, thereby creating critical support for intermittent renewable energy resources. So, this facility will not compete, in essence, with solar and wind.” The request comes as Port Jefferson Village and the town have said a settlement is nearing in an eight-year-long legal fight with LIPA over the utility company’s contention its Port Jeff plant’s property taxes are overassessed based on its decreasing energy demand. The settlement would smooth the impact of a potential substantial loss of revenue for the village, Port Jefferson School District, Port Jefferson Free Library and Port Jefferson Fire Department based on a reduced assessment of the plant. It would also prevent the village from being held liable for years of back payments should it have chosen to play out the legal battle in court and lost — rather than settling the case. The village has argued a way to make good with LIPA over its decreasingly needed plant could be to increase its output capacity. If approved, the Caithness II plant would theoretically kill plans to repower the Port Jefferson plant. However, according to Caithness President Ross Ain, LIPA has made no commitment to purchase power from the company should a second facility be constructed in Yaphank. It does purchase power from the first Caithness plant, with a 350-MW natural gas-fired power generating facility operating in Yaphank since 2009. The public hearing drew comments from those in favor of the proposal, many of whom being Longwood school district residents who would likely see a reduction in property taxes, similar to what Port Jeff residents enjoy currently for housing the

Five 2018 Comsewogue grads joining armed forces Applause could be heard far and wide June 21 at Comsewogue High School’s graduation ceremony. The applause rained down from the packed bleachers on the varsity football field for all of the graduates, but for a select few there was a bit more meaning behind the cheers. Five graduates were honored for their brave decision to enter various branches of the U.S. armed forces rather than attending a traditional two- or four-year college. Twins Jarrett and Jaeden Whitfield, Bernadette Reyes, Tyler Jensen and Nicolas Robinson are the Warriors preparing to serve their country. Comsewogue High School Principal Joseph Coniglione summed up his feelings watching the five students accept their diplomas and prepare to move on to their next steps in life. “These students worked hard to get where they are,” he said. “They have made a commitment to this country and, without any doubt, made this community and this school very proud.” Three out of the five students recognized will be enlisting in the U.S. Air Force, including the Whitfield twins. They are following what they called their dream, but also a dream their mother, Keira Whitfield, said she had always had but was not able to fulfill. “They are living out my dream of joining the Air Force,” she said. “In doing so they will become independent, productive citizens of the United States and that’s all I ever wanted for them.” Originally from Queens, and with a family background in both the Air Force and the Navy, the Whitfields are looking to brighten their futures. “I hope to become a more disciplined person,” Jarrett said. During graduation, the five students were called up to the stage to be honored and recognized individually. District administration knew the special ceremony was coming, but left it a surprise for the students. “I was very surprised to be honored,” Jaeden said. “It didn’t feel real. It felt like a dream … having my recruiter there helped me feel more comfortable.”

School board president John Swenning applauds Nicolas Robinson, Tyler Jensen, Jarrett and Jaeden Whitfield and Bernadette Reyes during graduation. Tyler Jensen is the third student who enlisted in the Air Force. He is following his grandfather’s path to the Air Police, which is an arm of the Air Force Security Forces along with the Military Police and the Security Police. As a member of the Air Police, Jensen will be working to protect the assets of the Air Force, as well as securing Air Force installations and other facilities operated by the military branch. Jensen attributed his desire to serve his country not just to honoring his grandfather but also out of a sense of civic duty. “I am also joining because not enough people in my generation are enlisting and there is not enough help,” he said. Comsewogue school board president John Swenning, who led the way honoring the students during graduation, also beamed with pride referencing the graduates-turned-armed forces members. “On behalf of the Comsewogue board of education I would like to publically thank these young men and women who have decided to serve in a branch of the United States military,” he said in a statement. “It

He said he has had a desire to join the Marines since 2005, when he was only 5 years old after his brother had enlisted. “He is my role model,” Robinson said of his brother.

Environmental groups and other residents opposed the plan, as did Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant and state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) who each submitted statements to be read into the record by Cartright against the proposal and urging the board to vote it down. Garant has taken to social media to urge Port Jeff residents to submit written comments to the town on the proposal. “There is no denying that these [revenue] reductions will cause significant hardships to all segments of our community, which is also your community,” Garant said in her letter read by Cartright, referencing the impending LIPA settlement. “But at the end of these reductions, our community would still be left with an operating power plant which could produce a significant amount in tax revenues.” The village mayor painted a dark
change he is about to encounter. “It’s like any other job,” he said. Reyes is headed to the U.S. Army, also following a family trend, as her father is an Army veteran. She said she was unsure of her path after high school, but after meeting with an Army recruiter at the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach, she made the decision to pursue a career in the military. Reyes said she was ecstatic to have been honored at the graduation ceremony. “It was a great feeling to be introduced in front of the students, parents, administration and the board of education,” she said. Reyes plans to complete basic training and continue her education through the Army. picture for Port Jeff should the proposal earn board approval. “The construction of a Caithness II facility will have the inevitable effect of pushing our community off the economic cliff at the end of the proposed period of gradual reductions, while leaving us to deal with an enormous, closed, unusable industrial site which will need serious environmental remediation,” she said. A representative from Sierra Club Long Island, a local chapter of the national nonprofit dedicated to environmental advocacy, spoke out against Caithness II during the hearing. “The Sierra Club strongly opposes any attempt to construct a new gas plant on Long Island, and we oppose the Caithness II proposal regardless of the technology involved,” said Shay O’Reilly, an organizer for the nonprofit. “It is absurd to argue that building more fracked gas infrastructure will allow us to meet our clean energy and pollution reduction goals.” Jack Kreiger, a spokesperson for the town, said he did not know when the board would vote on the proposal.

Changes could be coming for elected office terms in Brookhaven
Terms would go from two years to four
Rule would apply to all elected positions
ALEX PETROSKI
Politicians would be limited to three terms
Brookhaven Councilman Dan Panico and Supervisor Ed Romaine. BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Elected officials in the Town of Brookhaven are taking steps that could both lengthen and shorten their time in office. The town board voted to hold a public hearing Aug. 2 on the idea of instituting a three-term limit on elected positions while also extending the length of a term from two to four years at a June 26 meeting. This would limit officials to 12 years in office. Brookhaven is currently the only town on Long Island with two-year terms for elected officials, according to Supervisor Ed Romaine (R). “I’m supporting it because when you have the entire government turn over every two years it can provide for a lack of stabil-
ity,” Romaine said on changing from twoyear to four-year terms. “You don’t have the constant churning in politics that can sometimes undermine the system. It allows for long-range planning and programs. It takes the politics out of local government.” Council members Valerie Cartright (DPort Jefferson Station), Jane Bonner (CRocky Point) and Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) each expressed similar sentiments when asked if they intend to support the idea. They said having to prepare to run for office every two years hinders their ability to complete and implement projects, especially pertaining to land use, which they said can take time. “I believe there’s merit in establishing term limits and four-year terms,” Cartright said, but she intends to keep an open mind
and let residents weigh in. “It lends itself to better government.” Specifically on limiting officials to three terms, LaValle said it should encourage fresh ideas and new faces stepping up to run, which he viewed as a positive, calling it a good combination both for government and residents. If these changes are approved by the board, the proposal would go to a referendum vote in November giving taxpayers the opportunity to ultimately decide the idea’s fate. It could impact the town supervisor position, each of the six council seats, superintendent of highways, town clerk and receiver of taxes starting in 2020. “I think it will be a very interesting referendum on the ballot to see what people want,” LaValle said.
Bonner said she has changed her mind on term limits, saying she was among those who view Election Day as the inherent way to limit the term of a politician failing to serve their constituents. “What it will essentially do is create not just good government, but better government,” Bonner said. In January, the Town of Huntington passed similar legislation limiting all elected positions to three terms of four years each. “The town is going to be much better off,” Councilman Gene Cook (R) said upon passing the legislation. He proposed the idea to Huntington’s board in June 2017. “Elected officials have an upper hand and can be there forever. Now, we’ve sort of evened the field today. It took a long time, far too long, but I’m glad it’s done.”

Words unspoken at Zeldin campaign kickoff BY SUSAN PERRETTI In the end, my visit to the campaign kickoff for Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) in Smithtown June 28 was more about the words I never got to say than the few I did utter before I was threatened with arrest if I didn’t leave the premises at once. Zeldin was not yet on the stage when a man in a suit told me I had to go. “Why?” I asked. He leaned in and spoke into my ear: “If you don’t go now you will be arrested.” “Why?” I asked again. “Trespassing.” Trespassing? Zeldin, my congressman, invited me, and I had registered. After finding my name on a list, a man had waved me into the Elks Lodge. Three like-minded friends didn’t even get in. I went because there were some things I wanted to say to Zeldin. Not in a mean, accusing way. I try not to enter conversations them versus us, Republicans versus Democrats, right versus left. It doesn’t solve anyone’s problems.

paper and our nation’s grotesquely lenient gun laws. I wanted to ask what will become of the poor, elderly and disabled, like my 90-year-old, Medicaid-dependent mother, if more social services programs get axed — or our water and air if the Environmental Protection Agency continues to be dismantled. But mostly I wanted to urge him to follow his heart, even if that means casting votes that might anger the president, the NRA and his other big-money donors. I was going to say, “Mr. Zeldin, it’s not too late to be your own man,” but I didn’t have the chance. One of the five men who escorted me out asked why I didn’t just go to Zeldin’s office. I told him I had, but that I was met by two police officers and a gruff aide who directed me to write my concerns on a prepared form. And, I told my escort, Zeldin doesn’t hold town hall meetings like his predecessors did. Questions are accepted ahead of time only and are carefully screened. They’ve never picked mine. More words I meant to say. Congressman Zeldin’s campaign has been invited to write a reply.

As of Aug. 1, Catalina, 51, will get started in the position, joining current Undersheriff Steve Kuehhas, who was appointed to the post by Toulon’s predecessor Sheriff Vincent DeMarco (R) and will continue serving in that role. Catalina was born and raised in Sayville, graduated from Sayville High School and has lived on Long Island his entire life. Toulon spoke highly of Catalina and said he is optimistic about the value he can add to the department. “During my six months in office, I was searching for the very best talent to help me lead the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office into the future, and we are very fortunate that Kevin has accepted the position of undersheriff,” Toulon said in a statement. He is a resident of Long Island and knows our communities well, but he also brings a high level of expertise from the NYPD that will help drive innovation and reduce crime in Suffolk County.” Catalina has a vast and varied history with the NYPD, having served in many crucial positions, including in the NYPD’s counterterrorism and countergang initiatives. He is currently serving as the deputy chief and commanding officer of the NYPD Intelligence Bureau in the Operational and Analytical Section, which oversees all proactive counterterrorism investigations in New York City. He started with the NYPD in 1992. He was promoted to sergeant in 1998, and soon after was transferred to the Queens Gang Squad as a sergeant. He was then promoted two times within the Queens Gang Squad to lieutenant and then captain, where he served until 2005. Catalina then transferred to Manhattan, where he was put in charge of an upperManhattan precinct covering public housing. He was later promoted once again to deputy inspector and was put in charge of Manhattan’s 32nd Precinct. After three

When NYPD Commissioner William Bratton was reinstated in 2014, Catalina became the captain of the NYPD’s Citywide Gang Unit, where he oversaw more than 350 detectives, and developed and implemented all gang investigative and suppression strategies utilized throughout the city. According to the NYPD, he is recognized as a subject-matter expert in gang violence and crime reduction strategies and pioneered an initiative in the South Bronx that resulted in a 40 percent reduction in shooting incidents. In 2016, Catalina was transferred to Manhattan North and became the execu-

tive officer, second in command, of all precincts above 59th Street. He then made his final transfer to commanding officer of the Operational and Analytical Section, where he will serve until July 31. Catalina said he was confident his experience in gang relations would be effective in dealing with the gang MS-13, one of the foremost concerns for law enforcement in Suffolk County currently. “We really started to understand the gang issue around 2010 or 2011 and we saw a dramatic drop in violence,” he said. “We put together violence conspiracy cases using every possible bit of information we could get from social media, to jail calls and text messaging. We were able to prove conspiracies to commit violent acts, and once these kids realized they could actually get in trouble, the violence was seriously curtailed. MS-13 is no different than any other gang. People look at them like they’re this big bad organization, but ultimately they’re no different than the gangs we dealt with in New York City.” Toulon said he was also optimistic about the success of the Gang Resistance Education and Training Program, which he implemented a few months back prior to learning of Catalina’s interest in the undersheriff position. Toulon said he visited Washington, D.C., to garner more funding for the program. Gang activity in Suffolk has become a topic of national discussion, thanks in large part to the light shone on it by President Donald Trump (R), including in a visit he made to the Suffolk County Police Academy in Brentwood in 2017. “Gang recruitment usually starts at the middle school level, and that’s what the GREAT program is geared toward,” Toulon said. “We have deputy sheriffs and corrections officers that work with these kids in communities that are adversely affected by gangs, and I’m advocating for additional funding [for this program].” Catalina’s addition, joining Kuehhas, will help round out the leadership in the sheriff’s office, according to Toulon. “I was looking for another component because Steve Kuehhas, who will be remaining with me, has a strong legal background, and my background is in corrections, so adding Undersheriff Catalina with a strong police background brings a great asset to the sheriff’s office,” Toulon said.

Man arrested for threat to Zeldin volunteer BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH A Nesconset man was arrested for allegedly making a terroristic threat against a campaign worker at U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin’s (R-Shirley) headquarters July 6, according to Suffolk County police. Martin Astrof was arrested Friday after he allegedly threatened to kill one of Zeldin’s supporters and those who support President Donald Trump (R). Astrof went to Zeldin’s campaign headquarters on Terry Road in Smithtown and became irate with a campaign worker, identified by Zeldin’s office as Donato Panico, at approximately 11:15 a.m., police said. After allegedly threatening to kill Panico and other supporters, Astrof backed his car up in an aggressive manner nearly striking the campaign worker, according to police. “Donato Panico is an exceptional citizen who has dedicated his life to serving our law enforcement and nation’s veterans,” Zeldin said. “He should never have been targeted like this today for his support of a political candidate.” Astrof, 75, allegedly fled the scene and was arrested a short time later in front of his home in Nesconset. He was charged with one felony count of making a terrorist threat and second-degree reckless endangerment. “In the United States of America, political scores are settled at the ballot box, not by trying to kill your political opponents,” Zeldin said. “It is unacceptable to resort to actions to kill or seriously harm political opponents or otherwise incite those violent actions by others. It must stop now.” The congressman said he himself has received several death threats, and his wife and children have been targeted as well since the last presidential election in 2016. Astrof was arraigned at 1st District Court in Central Islip July 7 and released after posting bail in the amount of $25,000 bond. A temporary order of protection was issue by the courts.

Despite dangers, illegality, firework shows go on BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Every Fourth of July, if only for a few hours, Long Islanders create their own stars in the night sky. If one drives down the side streets and residential neighborhoods late at night on America’s birthday, one can hear a chorus of whistles and pops from every direction. People in local neighborhoods sit in lawn chairs with their necks craned to the night sky to watch the lights flash high over their own roofs. All those involved know that, without a license, it’s illegal to own, sell and, especially, to light any fireworks in New York state, but this is Independence Day, and the date demands ceremony. On one street in Port Jefferson Station, where locals hosted their own fireworks show, the air was suffused with a burning smoke that smelled like brimstone and burning paper. Fireworks enthusiast Louie, who agreed to comment if his last name would be withheld, along with his brother and their friends, laid out rows of mortars stretching more than 10 yards down the street. For close to two hours nonstop the fireworks illuminated the sky and onlookers cheered. “Jones Beach does it, Bald Hill does it ... why can’t we do it?” Louie said. Louie said he has helped set off his block’s firework display for four years, and each July Fourth his group sets off more than $2,000 worth of fireworks. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) warned residents ahead of the holiday in a YouTube video that the county would be enacting a zero-tolerance policy for the possession, use and sale of illegal fireworks. “We are here today to talk about the Fourth of July and how we all love to get together and celebrate,” Bellone said in the video. “We always hear about these incidents
happening and they are unnecessary, preventable injuries.” Officials asked Suffolk residents to attend licensed firework shows going on all across the Island, rather than creating their own events. There were shows at Bald Hill, in Wading River, at Peconic Riverfront in Riverhead, on East Beach in Port Jefferson, on Shelter Island and at the Long Island Ducks stadium in Bethpage, to name a few. Suffolk County is stricter on fireworks than other parts of the state. While New York passed a law in January that made owning sparklers legal, in Suffolk owning a sparkler remains a misdemeanor. Owning certain fireworks, like the M-80s, which were originally designed by the United States military to simulate gunfire, or the mortar-type of fireworks, is a Class E felony subject to up to four years in prison. Several individuals were arrested this year and charged with crimes of possessing and selling fireworks. In June, a Medford man was arrested for having $100,000 worth of fireworks in a storage facility. Later that same month, an Oakdale man was arrested for bringing $2,000 worth of fireworks home from Pennsylvania and selling them online. “We take it very seriously,” 4th Precinct Capt. Kevin Williams said at the June 1 Smithtown Town board meeting. “All fireworks are illegal, and that includes sparklers. Some of the larger fireworks that we see today, the M-80 fireworks or the mortars that people shoot up, those are designated as explosives under New York State Labor Law.” The danger presented by misusing fireworks is real. Nationally, fireworks were identified in 12,900 hospital visits and eight deaths in 2017, according to a report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission released in June this year. Suffolk police reported that a man from Gordon Heights lost three of his fingers
Residents prepare July Fourth at-home firework shows in Port Jefferson Station. after a firework exploded in his hand this year. Another woman, a Florida resident who was visiting her family in Mastic, was injured after she tossed a lit cigarette in an ashtray which caused a firework that had been placed there to explode. The detonation severed the tip of one finger and injured other fingers on her right hand. Both were sent to Stony Brook University Hospital for their injuries. Dr. Steven Sandoval, medical director of Suffolk County Volunteer Firefighters Burn Center at Stony Brook University Hospital, said the last weeks of June and the first two weeks of July are the peak in terms of burn center patients. On average his unit receives five to 10 patients every Fourth of July season, and that’s not including those who arrive to the hospital with other, non-burn related injuries. By July 5 this year, the burn center received four patients who had injuries related to fireworks, but Sandoval said they would not know the total number of injuries until a month has passed. “Every other year there’s a fatal or nearfatal event that occurs from fireworks,” Sandoval said. “This is a vulnerable population,
who might already be intoxicated, inebriated or have been standing out in the sun all day … people should leave fireworks to the professionals.” Those people setting off the pyrotechnic display in Port Jeff Station said they understood the hazard that fireworks presented. “We’re all organized, not drunk, professional and we have order,” Louie said. “We have communication, and communication is key.” Still, there is always danger when it comes to explosives. The street in Port Jeff Station was bordered by power lines and trees that an off-course rocket could potentially strike. One neighbor put large towels and cardboard boxes on her fence to mitigate any potential burn damage. After the grand finale, where the group let off their last rockets and mortars, they started to throw loud firecrackers into the street. One of them bounced into a neighbor’s yard right next to a fence. The firework exploded and dug a small hole an inch deep into the dirt. Despite it all, the neighbors laughed and cheered anyway.

State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable John H. Rouse, Acting J.S.C. dated June 11, 2018 and filed June 19, 2018.

Clockwise from top left, Suffolk’s allstars walk off the field; Dave Argenzio crosses home; Argenzio congratulates a fellow all-star; Ed Carney takes a swing; Tim Rocklein makes contact; and Suffolk celebrates a big play.
Suffolk seniors best Nassau on softball field BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN
The fireworks came a day late for a group of Suffolk senior softball players. A thriller ensued in a battle between some of Long Island’s best 65 and older softball players. Down 7-6 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Tim Rocklein smacked a pitch to right field with runners on first and second with no outs, and Ed Carney hit a sacrifice fly to score Dave Argenzio in a walk-off, 8-7 thriller as Suffolk edged Nassau in the first-ever Super Seniors AllStar game July 5. “It got closer and closer, and why get a lead early when you can get the lead and go home?” head coach Paul Killian said, laughing. “I was losing so much sleep afraid that, A, it was going to rain, and, B, it wouldn’t’ turn out right. I couldn’t be happier with the way it ended.” Rocklein’s game-tying single served as a bit of redemption. The Islip Terrace resident had made back-to-back errors in a four-run second inning for Nassau. “It’s really wonderful how the team came through at the end,” said Rocklein, a former student of Killian’s at St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School in West Islip. “It was a team effort. We all won.” The Suffolk offensive onslaught was contagious. Down 6-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh, base hits by John Carmichael and Carney set up an RBI-single for Louis Re. Later in the inning, Mike Cavanagh hit an in-the-park bases-clearing home run to pull Suffolk within one, 6-5.
“We were just hoping to be competitive,” Cavanagh said. “I flew out the first two times, so it felt great to come through with a hit.” Rocklein said he saw the hit a bit differently. “You could feel everyone’s spirits go from 20 to 190,” he said, grinning from ear to ear. “It’s an emotional game. We didn’t give up. We were all there for each other, and in the end, we prevailed.” Assistant coach Victor Scalone, of Sound Beach, said he was impressed by his team, especially considering the Nassau team had three more full league teams to choose from when assembling its AllStar roster. Suffolk pulled off three double plays, with middle infielder Fred Taal helping turn two of them to John Petraglia at first. Catcher Tony Laino, who led off the bottom of the ninth with a single, helped complete the other, which ended a Nassau scoring threat. Tom Gomez went the distance on the mound, also collecting two hits. “We’re all older players, and we just wanted to look respectable in this game,” Scalone said. “We’ll be talking about this for a long time.” The assistant coach pointed to the home run by Cavanagh as having ignited the team. Killian, a Holbrook resident, said he’s in awe of what the sport can do for him and his players. “I feel like I’m 16 again,” he said. “The fireworks were a day delayed, but they’re here.”

OPINION Editorial
Letters to the editor GREG CATALANO
More enforcement needed with fireworks The Fourth of July may be over but, as many Long Islanders know, the firework shows have just begun. Despite New York State and Suffolk County laws prohibiting the use of pyrotechnics without a license, and a recent declaration by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) of a zero-tolerance policy on fireworks, many residents get a hold of them and use them anyway on and around the holiday. We’ve all been there. The Fourth of July falls on a weekday, we have to work the next day and out of nowhere ... BOOM, a whistle and the sky lights up. The displays go on for hours even though we don’t live near a venue that has hired the Gruccis. On random summer nights, unexpected fireworks wake babies up and upset pets at the most inconvenient times. Recently, the county banned sparkling devices — sparklers and fountains — despite the state deeming them legal. The change left us wondering how Suffolk officials can impose a new law when all summer long it’s apparent that prior laws prohibiting fireworks from being purchased or used by individuals in their neighborhoods aren’t enforced. Firecrackers, ground spinners, Roman candles, bottle rockets, cherry bombs and more have become summer staples. There are many reasons besides being a public nuisance that the laws need to be enforced. Untrained individuals using fireworks put themselves in harm’s way, as local hospital emergency rooms fill up with those with burned or missing fingers or damaged eyes. There are plenty of people who are minding their own business in their backyard when they get hit with the ash of fireworks or pyrotechnics destroy property by landing on roofs, leaving holes in lawns or burnt marks on fences. There are also veterans who, when they hear fireworks, are reminded of traumatic memories of fighting on battlefields with gunfire and bombs going off around them. Many who have served in the military suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, something firework aficionados need to be mindful of should a neighbor be afflicted. While some who suffer from PTSD alert their neighbors by posting signs on their lawns asking for their consideration, should it really be their responsibility? Before Suffolk tries to stop people from holding a stick that sparkles, police officers need to enforce the laws that are already on the books. The warnings about zero tolerance sound great, but as a TBR News Media reporter sent out July Fourth to get a feel for the breadth of illegal fireworks in the community can attest, the skies were lit up far and wide. Considering the penalty fees attached to illegal use of fireworks — up to $500 for the use of just a sparkling device — the county could rake in a nice amount of money if they cracked down, not just on the Fourth of July but year round. Residents can play a part in protecting their fellow citizens, too. Don’t be afraid to speak up when you see a police car in your neighborhood after hearing or seeing fireworks. Or, before it gets to that point, talk with your friends and family who may be setting off fireworks at home and tell them it isn’t the best idea. To be clear: We’re not against having a good time and fully embracing the celebration of our country’s independence. But fireworks belong in the hands of professionals, not in the mitts of your average citizen two doors down.

In favor of preserving history again
In the May 31 article in The Port Times Record entitled “Preserving local history amid revitalization project,” Jack Smith, the president of the Cumsewogue Historical Society, called to our attention that two historic buildings, located on the south side of the railroad tracks and on the east side of 25A in Port Jefferson Station, are threatened with demolition. These two buildings, the 1908 E. H. Rogers Feed Mill and the 1922 brick Costigan building remain as tangible links to the region’s history, representing, as Jack Smith indicated, an “integral component of our agricultural community.” While most, if not all the region’s farms have disappeared in favor of suburbia, these two buildings can and should remain as symbols of our agrarian heritage. It is our understanding that the proposed revitalization and redevelopment of the area
surrounding the railroad tracks includes demolition of these two important structures. While the Historical Society of Greater Port Jefferson supports the revitalization effort, we believe that these two vital buildings can and should be integrated into this plan by being repurposed to ensure a continued connection to our wonderful history. It has been shown that older buildings can be repurposed and remain a part of the community; as examples, the beautiful 1900 Port Jefferson First National Bank building and the 1918 Bayles Shipyard Building, which now serves as the community center, both originally threatened with demolition, remain as everyday reminders of our ship building past. Such buildings are often unique to the area and their preservation can instill a sense of pride into the community. We encourage the developer
to consider ways to incorporate these two buildings into his redevelopment plan so that the end result is both one of a kind and a representation of his commitment to the community’s history. Old buildings should not be ignored as their architectural elements can be replicated but cannot be replaced. The Historical Society of Greater Port Jefferson fully supports the Cumsewogue Historical Society’s efforts, led by its president, regarding these two buildings and urges the developer to do the same.
Nick Acampora President, Historical Society of Greater Port Jefferson
Editor’s note: This letter ran in the June 28 edition of The Port Times Record with an erroneous editor’s note. We are rerunning it this week with the note removed to ensure the correct information is publicized. We regret the error.
Historic buildings in jeopardy in PJS There seems to be some confusion about the plans for Port Jefferson Station. The plan that we, Campani and Schwarting Architects, did with Lee Koppelman is the Port Jefferson Station Commercial Hub Study, approved by the Town of Brookhaven in March 2014. This was done with a committee and a history subcommittee. In this plan,
we proposed the renovation/ preservation of the E.H. Rogers Feed and Grain, adjacent Rogers building, Echo Arms adult home and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. In our letter published in The Port Times Record June 7, we did not say that the “buildings will be preserved,” as noted by the editor in the June 28 letter entitled, “In favor of preserving history.”
There is a separate plan proposed by a developer of properties near the Long Island Rail Road tracks that replaces the two Rogers buildings.
Michael Schwarting Campani and Schwarting Architects Port Jefferson
Speak up to support Rails to Trails As a member of Friends of the Greenway, specifically Setauket to Port Jefferson Station, I am asking if you would write an email to Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker in support of the proposed Rails to Trails Greenway project just east of our trail. On July 17 at 9:30 a.m., the Suffolk County Legislature will be holding a public comment portion of their meeting in Hauppauge. Your support by writing her an email prior to that meeting will help toward encouraging the North Shore of Brookhaven greenways, just like our trail. Make your voice heard
by sending an email to sarah. anker@suffolkcountyny.gov or by going to the July 17 meeting and signing up to speak. The county will need to bond the funding of $500,000 in order to obtain the more-than $10 million in federal grants approved for the project, according to Anker. This project will bring construction work to our region and another 10-plus miles of greenway for us and others to enjoy safely, versus riding/walking next to Route 25A. We, as Friends of the Greenway, know how well used and appreciated our 3 1/2 mile trail is in our
communities. Let’s support these five communities to also have that joy. Please act today to either write your support or come to the July 17 meeting to speak in person. Our trail took that type of support more than 15 years ago and we should help this group, too, in creating another greenway along the old Long Island Rail Road right of way.

Giving Trump ‘credit’ for cleaning up EPA mess
T
he president of the United States is taking full credit for the relief those crazy leftist environmental groups are feeling in response to the resignation of the latest misunderstood and much maligned member of his cabinet, Scott Pruitt. You see, President Donald Trump knew that Pruitt would do his bidding, gutting unnecessary government regulations designed to protect the water, air and food that Americans and, indeed, others on the planet need on basis. By Daniel Dunaief a daily He knew Pruitt would do everything he asked, and more. It’s like the old Stalin philosophy. You remember that ruthless Soviet Union dictator,
D. None of the above
right? He never wanted any of his tank commanders to be too powerful because he didn’t want their leader taking over. So, he chose Pruitt knowing that he’d do what Trump wanted and then would become so enmeshed in the world he tried to help — lobbyists, coal interests, insecticide manufacturers — that he would eventually cause harm to himself and his political aspirations. Trump is, rightfully, taking full credit for the resignation of a man he supported when it was expedient to do so and that he needed to cut loose when the combination of foibles and follies entered the public realm. Sure, some nasty journalists may have quoted unnamed sources who shared questionable details about Pruitt’s spending habits, his requests for football tickets, his security detail and his desire to get his wife a job. Ultimately, it was Trump who made the call, putting the thorn in the side of the environmental groups
and then pulling it out ever so quickly and gracefully. Well, maybe it wasn’t all that quick. Pruitt lasted far longer in Washington than even members of the “Trump Party” — that’s the new name of the group formerly known as the Republican Party — might have wanted. But, hey, the more people who found Pruitt’s actions and decisions questionable, the greater the relief when he was finally removed from office. OK, so technically the guy resigned, which means he walked out of the seat of power and into an enormous gas-guzzling sport utility vehicle. But, seriously, does anyone believe Pruitt thought he blew it on his own? No, no, people, wake up. News that the environmental groups all thought was good because they imagined that the EPA might return to its mandate of protecting the environment and the people, animals and trees living here came courtesy of His Truly: President Trump.
Yes, of course, you can thank him for taking nuclear weapons out of the hands of the North Koreans, and you can express your appreciation for the incredibly kind way he pulled back from a zero-tolerance policy he established because of laws the Democrats won’t fix, but don’t forget to give credit where credit is due. You see, if the president had never tapped Pruitt, who built his career attacking the henhouse that was the EPA from his home in Oklahoma, the greenie groups would never be able to celebrate his removal. No, it’s a total credit to Trump that the reality TV show that was the Pruitt era at the EPA has been canceled. So, take your time, think of the right words and make sure to thank the man in charge of the world for choosing the right man at the right time and then letting that man walk off into a sunset enhanced by all the pollution-generated particulates he helped put there.
Moe Berg: ‘I’d rather be a ballplayer than a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court’
H
is life makes for a fascinating story even if the current spy movie is mediocre. “The Catcher Was a Spy,” tells of Morris “Moe” Berg, baseball player, and his remarkable intelligence and exploits, especially during World War II. Born in Harlem, not far from the Polo Grounds, home of the New York Giants, Berg began playing baseball at age 7. He was to be called “the brainiest guy in baseball,” and Casey Stengel, a baseball player and manager who was something of an eccentric himself, referred to him as “the strangest man ever to play baseball.” By Leah S. Dunaief Berg’s story, captured in Nicholas Dawidoff’s 1994 book of similar title, is also the story of the times in America in which he lived. Born in 1902, he begged to go to school at age 3 1/2. The third and

youngest child of a pharmacist and a homemaker, Berg graduated from high school at 16, then Princeton magna cum laude in 1923, as an outstanding scholar-athlete playing baseball all along the way. He also grew up as an outsider, marginalized there because of modest finances and as a Jew at a time of deep bigotry. He majored in modern languages and spoke some half-a-dozen fluently, including eventually Japanese. Upon graduation, Berg was signed to a contract by the Brooklyn Robins, soon to become the Brooklyn Dodgers and he seemed to be just so-so at bat but a good clutch hitter with a strong and accurate arm in the infield. After that first season, Berg traveled to Paris, where he enrolled at the Sorbonne and read several newspapers each day. By January 1924, Berg was not thinking of going back to spring training to develop himself as a hitter but rather found the idea of travel irresistible and went on to tour Switzerland and Italy. When he finally did return to the United States, he was optioned off to the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association minor league. He was to play for four

American League teams throughout his baseball career, primarily as a catcher, ending with the Boston Red Sox as player and then coach in 1941. “Good field, no hit,” was how Dodgers scout Mike González, characterized him. Berg distinguished himself for his putouts stealing percentage, double plays by a catcher and assists by a catcher. However, throughout his baseball life, which he so clearly loved, he was a true Renaissance man. In between seasons, and sometimes missing the first couple of months of the new season, he studied law at Columbia University, passing the bar in 1929 and finally earning his Bachelor of Laws degree in 1930. Interestingly, he was sent with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and a handful of other all-stars to play exhibition games with the Japanese in 1934 — Berg’s second trip there. Although certainly not of their star caliber, he spoke the language and was probably included on the squad for that reason. While in Tokyo, he donned a kimono and pretended to bring flowers to the American ambassador’s daughter, who was a patient in the Tokyo hospital. He went up to the roof instead, and from the top of one of the

tallest buildings he used his 16-mm Bell & Howell camera that he had concealed in the folds of his garb to film the city and harbor. He never did visit the daughter but he did provide American intelligence with rare and invaluable footage later on. He supposedly did this in anticipation of the war that he was sure, from his various readings and Far East travel, was coming. He went on to join the Office of Strategic Services, later the CIA; was parachuted into occupied Yugoslavia evaluating which resistance groups should get U.S. support — he chose Tito’s group; and became involved in the frenzied effort to determine if the German scientist Werner Heisenberg was close to developing the atomic bomb with orders to assassinate him if so — Berg decided not. Otherwise, he was of immense value to the U.S. as he moved throughout Europe in his dangerous and exciting life. The former ballplayer turned down the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor to the war effort, during his lifetime but the medal was awarded posthumously. In American history he is a mysterious footnote.
