Port Jeff Gathers Funds Together for Barnum Parking Lot

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Funds are coming from both town and county for the construction of a new parking lot in Port Jeff, yet still the price tag could be high.

At its Oct. 2 meeting, the Suffolk County Legislature voted to grant Port Jefferson $200,000 in a jumpstart grant for the creation of a new parking lot on Barnum Avenue. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) joined village officials Oct. 10 to announce the new funds.

“This is a village that for some time has been leading in innovation and creativity and we’ve been there to support it,” Bellone said. “What this really is about is how do we continue to grow in a sustainable way.”

The new parking lot will be located on Barnum Avenue at the intersection between it and Caroline Avenue. The site is expected to include 44 new stalls, two of which are planned to be charging stations for electric vehicles, which would be a first for Port Jeff village.

“Importantly, this lot is very close to the newly renovated Rocketship Park, which brings down thousands on a daily basis,” Mayor Margot Garant said.

The site will have ingress and egress onto Caroline Avenue in two separate spots and will border the Joe Erland baseball field on its southwestern end. The 32,000-square-foot lot will also include two bioswales bordering the foot entrance onto Barnum Avenue to aid in flood mitigation. The bioswales will look like two dips in the ground with plantings overlaying them.

Nicole Christian, the Port Jeff grant writer, said the fact the project includes these green initiatives was one of the main reasons they got the grant.

Costs for the Barnum lot could cost approximately $900,000, the mayor said. The village will use its own funds to construct the lot, and the grant will reimburse the village up to the set amount.

“Because we need to do prevailing wage, it doubles the cost,” Garant said. “There’s no way around that.”

Other than the recently finished Texaco parking lot in Upper Port, this would be the first new piece of downtown parking infrastructure in more than a decade.

Parking has been an issue in Port Jeff for years. Several years ago, in 2015, the Town of Brookhaven had sold property to a local developer for retail and apartment space. However, because

of a lack of parking for the structure, the town was all set to go forward on an agreement to grant around 30 parking spots from the town’s marina municipal lot near the harbor to the village, which had planned to reconstruct it with more plant fixings and solid boundaries. However, after a disagreement between officials and a resident in Port Jeff, a letter sent to the New York State attorney general by the Brookhaven town attorney provoked a response in December 2017

saying the land was parkland, though purposed for marina parking, and it would require consent from the New York State Legislature.

In the years following, officials tried to hash out some kind of agreement that would grant payment in lieu of parking (PILOP) for those 30 spots. Brian Egan, the village attorney, said talks became mired, with it finally requiring the village to put out a notice of claim before the town agreed to grant the PILOP. However, as another wrinkle to the issue, due to outflow of sediment from Mill Creek into Port Jefferson Harbor, which the town said the village was responsible for paying for dredging, the town only agreed to pay after subtracting the cost of dredging.

Finally, at the village’s Oct. 7 meeting, officials voted to accept a check for $125,800, an amount which subtracts the cost of dredging the outflow from the creek of $34,600.

Although the mayor said the money is nice, parking is much more expensive to build than the money they are granted from the town, and she would have rather had the marina spaces.

“That plus the jumpstart money, that’s half the Barnum lot,” she said.

The lot is expected to go out to bid within the next several months, with full construction to start no later than early spring, according to Garant.

Port Jeff Handing the Keys to New Superintendent Outgoing and incoming supers speak on LIPA glide path, enrollment numbers and community engagement

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Walking into the Port Jefferson School District administrative offices, it’s apparent changes are on the way. Jessica Schmettan, the incoming superintendent, has moved into the office where outgoing superintendent Paul Casciano once sat. Schmettan’s desk is like a blank slate, mostly bare save for a few files and pencil holder. Casciano, on the other hand, has moved into a back room and works off a laptop.

Just on the other side of a wall is Casciano’s temporary desk. As the man who was only meant to be an “interim superintendent” finishes up his third and final year as super, he is anticipating the coming of Oct. 31, his last day before retirement. He said he expects to take some much-needed vacation time and perhaps get down to writing a book or two.

The incoming super is a nine-year Port Jeff resident, and Casciano said she was one of the best first decisions he made when he came into the district.

“She’s bright, she’s a problem solver, and she’s younger than me, so she is likely to be around for a long time,” he said.

It’s the start of something new, but the continuation of the old, both exiting and incoming superintendents said, and there are many challenges the district will face in the years to come.

Impact of LIPA glide path

Closing on a year since Port Jefferson village and the Town of Brookhaven settled with LIPA over the Port Jefferson Power Station’s tax assessments, school officials said the decision is going to be a heavy deciding factor in every ongoing budget for the next eight years of the glide path. Later years will see even more challenges as the glide path increasingly reduces the tax dollars paid to the school.

Though the district expects it will maintain a tax rate that’s less than all other surrounding school districts, it also means local residents are going to make up a larger portion of revenues.

“This is not only a financial issue, but that issue impacts our core mission, which is teaching and learning,” Casciano said. “It has a lot of pieces — our position is the burden is going to need to be shared, that’s our take on it all along.”

Schmettan expects things will need to be cut, including potentially some certain classes with low enrollment.

An increase of taxes always brings the thought that some residents would be pressured to leave.

“It’s going to depend on how the community reacts — we don’t want to trim so much we have nothing left, we also don’t want people feeling they can’t live here anymore,” Schmettan said. “We’ll still maintain a low tax rate after those eight years, lower than other surrounding districts, but I think that as people start to see what may or may not happen, you’re going to get community support.”

Both superintendents emphasized the need for support from the community as the district moves forward in the glide path. Casciano said his belief is parents who may have had their kids graduate from school already have the responsibility to at the very least be active with the district, giving the same opportunity to those families who are just beginning their path in grade school. The outgoing super likened it to a balance, adding a school district’s strength will also show itself on home values.

“There are two schools of thought, there are people who look at it as, ‘Hey, I don’t have anything vested now,’” he said. “I don’t agree with that — the quality of the schools says a lot about your property values, whether you’re intending to sell or leave it to someone else when you go.”

Because of these changes, the district announced it would be hosting SchoolCommunity Partnership meetings in a roundtable setting, looking to give local residents the chance to offer their opinions on where things could go during the next eight years.

Community involvement

The School-Community Partnership is the way the district hopes to gather interest in moving forward, both from people who have kids in the district, have seen their kids graduate, or for those who don’t have any children in Port Jeff.

“It’s really an open forum for community members, to express our concerns over the glide path,” Schmettan said. “It will really be like an open forum for people to share their concerns in smaller groups — not livestreamed — more open for discussion, and not as structured as a board meeting.”

The difficulty will be coming to a consensus.

While some parents may look at a class with low enrollment and look to take the ax to it, another parent with a student in that class may think differently.

People are being encouraged to provide input on programs, facilities and financial challenges being reviewed by the board of education and administration. The first meeting is slated for Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m. in the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School/Middle School library, at 350 Old Post Road, in Port Jefferson.

Future enrollment

This school year, the district dropped a kindergarten class because of generally low enrollment at the youngest level. Its total student population of 1,077 students is one of the smallest on Long Island. Last year’s graduating class was 97, but regularly fluctuates between the high 80s and 90s.

But thinking down the road, the new superintendent has to consider what it will mean when the smaller classes finally make their way to the high school senior level in 12 years.

And considering the LIPA glide path, she will also have to consider what will happen should lower grade enrollment continue to shrink.

Schmettan herself has two children in the district, both in this current kindergarten class.

“We have to engage the community more, we have to show everybody, especially for people who don’t have kids what is the value of the school district and how does it impact your home value,” the incoming super said.

She added the recent homecoming events were a great way to get people more active in the district’s goings-ons.

The outgoing super said the important thing is keeping the district attractive to new homebuyers looking to settle down and raise children in the district.

“Right now, you have the best of both worlds, low taxes and a great school system,” he said.

“We want to maintain a good school system, so it might come up some families might say I was staying here because taxes were way low, people with multiple homes will say I’ll own

one, not three. The families that purchase may in fact have children, and that’s because of the quality of the schools.”

What makes Port Jeff special

Though Casciano is leaving Port Jeff after three years, he said he came to learn more individuals in the district than he had when he worked for years at William Floyd. Schmettan said the same for her time as assistant superintendent at the Sachem school district.

That small size means there are very few ways to keep a secret, but, as the outgoing and incoming supers agreed, it also means students are more accepting of each other. They referenced the recent shooting at the Port Jeff Liquors, as when they got the notification of the incident the buses had just left from the middle school. District officials went to the scene to make sure students weren’t going to walk through, and elementary principal Tom Meehan even walked some students home.

“I feel fortunate I’ve had the opportunity to work in Port Jeff, know the people who work in the community,” Casciano said. “There’s a real warmth, there’s a real caring for how the kids do, not only on the part of the parents but on the part of the teachers.”

Schmettan said the district is representative of the larger community.

“Our students are so diverse in what they approach,” she said. “Our kids are so diverse, and they mix and mingle so well, and they’re really open to each other. They’re so accepting of one another. That’s definitely something I see in our community as a whole. The school district is a microcosm of the entire community.”

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It’s that time of year when deer look to mate, and that can result in dangers for motorists on local roadways.

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and the Department of Environmental Conservation are advising motorists to take care when navigating roads during October, November and December. While deer can be seen all year round roaming around the North Shore, during the fall it’s breeding season.

Two-thirds of the crashes between deer and vehicles occur during the three-month span, according to a press release from the agencies.

In a TBR News Media article from October of 2018, Lori Ketcham, a rehabilitator with Middle Island-based Save the Animals Rescue Foundation, reminded residents that deer don’t hesitate when they are crossing a street, especially in the fall.

“The boys only have one thing on their mind,” Ketcham said. “They’re following the scent so they’re just running. They smell a girl down the street. They run, and they don’t care if there are roads in the way.”

Mark J.F. Schroeder, DMV commissioner and chair of the governor’s traffic safety committee, said drivers should exercise extreme caution during the autumn months.

“When you see a deer-crossing sign along a highway, that means deer have been seen at that location and have collided with cars there,” Schroeder said. “Those signs are meant to warn you to be extra cautious when driving through such locations.”

DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said drivers should be alert during both dawn

and dusk. The animals tend to be more active during these periods of the day while visibility is also reduced.

The state agencies also recommend decreasing speed when you approach deer near roadsides as they can bolt out or change direction quickly. If you see a deer, look for others as they are herd animals and usually travel in groups.

Motorists are also advised to brake firmly and avoid swerving if they encounter an animal, as swerving can cause collisions.

The DEC recommends not approaching an injured animal as they can strike out with their legs or hooves.

Here are a few additional tips in case of a deer collision: ● Move your vehicle to a safe place. If possible, pull over to the side of the road and turn on your hazard lights. If you must leave your vehicle, stay off the road and out of the way of any oncoming vehicles. ● Call the police. Alert authorities if the animal is blocking traffic and creating a threat for other drivers. If the collision results in injury, death or more than $1,000 in property damage, you must fill out an official crash report and send it to the DMV. ● Look for leaking fluid, loose parts, tire damage, broken lights, a hood that won’t latch and other safety hazards. If your vehicle seems unsafe in any way, call for a tow truck.

According to the 2018 State Farm Insurance deer-vehicle collision study, it was estimated that there were 1.33 million deer, elk, moose and caribou collisions between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018, in the U.S. — down from 1.34 million cited in the company’s 2017 study. New Yorkers had a one in 165 chance of crashing into the animals in 2018, according to State Farm.

Town

Brookhaven Outlines CCA Program that Could Lower Gas/Electric Costs

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Town of Brookhaven outlined the first steps toward creating a program that could lower gas and electric rates for homeowners at a public hearing Oct. 3.

Town officials are considering creating a Community Choice Aggregation or CCA, which is an energy program that allows local governments to buy electricity and gas on behalf of its residents.

In a presentation to the Town Board, Matt Miner, town chief of operations, outlined how the program could be beneficial to residents.

Essentially, CCA is a municipal energy procurement model that replaces the utility companies as the default supplier. It can be used for either gas or electricity.

“The suppliers, National Grid and PSEG, would still be responsible for energy delivery and billing,” Miner said. “The advantages of a CCA is pooling those demands and allow us to negotiate lower rates for residents.”

The town chief of operations added it would allow Brookhaven to pursue other clean energy programs.

The next step in the program would be

for the town to begin to work with its eight villages to see if they wanted to participate in the CCA. From there, the town would seek to appoint a program administrator. “[The] CCA administrator would then seek bids from energy services companies to obtain competitive rates for residents on behalf of the town,” Miner said. “They would be responsible with creating a data projection and implementation plan.”

CCA is an opt-out program, so residents are not bound by a contract and can go back to their original supplier if they chose to do so.

The CCA program was created by the New York State Public Service Commission in April 2016. Westchester was the first New York county, through the Sustainable Westchester consortium, to launch the CCA program under Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). If successful, Brookhaven will join more than 50 municipalities in the state to enact legislation to begin a CCA including the towns of Hempstead and Southampton on Long Island.

Miner said if the bids and rates aren’t competitive then the town doesn’t have to move forward with the program.

“I want to be clear, this only goes forward if we can save all the residents and businesses

in Brookhaven money,” Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said.

The town would first pursue competitive rates for gas and then would move on to electricity. According to town officials it could take about a year to implement the program. Bid contracts could last from two to four years.

George Hoffman, a vice president of the Three Village Civic Association, said

at the public hearing he supports the town’s initiative to adopt the CCA and believes it moves them closer to clean energy.

“It’s about time we started to take back some local control over our energy future,” he said. “We all thought then, when LIPA was created, we would be starting to get back some of our local control of our energy policy, but that was taken away by Albany. I think this a good start in taking back our energy future.”

PJS Community Growth Center Offers Unique Exercise Opportunity in Setauket

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM An exercise program at The Bates House in East Setauket not only provides residents with a chance to get some physical activity but also the opportunity to donate to a local organization.

Port Jefferson Station’s Community Growth Center, which provides holistic health services, is currently offering its Walk, Yoga, Meditate & Chocolate series at the venue every Thursday for a suggested donation of $10. During the exercise program, participants are led on a 30-minute walk around the Frank Melville Memorial Park pond with flashlights in hand, then to an hour yoga session that ends in shavasana — a pose used for relaxation and

meditation — and before they leave, everyone gets a piece of dark chocolate.

Michael Hoffner, co-founder and executive director of Community Growth Center, said the program ties into the center’s mission to create a sense of community and to give people an outlet to become healthier in mind, body and spirit.

“We’re really trying to build a community of people that are all working to heal and grow together,” he said. “All aspects of this event help to facilitate that type of growth. Whether it’s the physical exercise or the meditation or yoga, all of it ties into helping people grow in mind and body.”

Joanne Lauro, the center’s director of nutrition, leads the walks on Thursday nights, while the yoga portion is led by Erica Kremens. The program is different from other yoga classes as it starts with walking, which Lauro said is one of the best exercises to help with various health issues including heart and pulmonary problems and diabetes.

She said the group walks around the park three times, approximately a mile stretch. Participants can walk at their own pace whether briskly for exercise or slower to enjoying the swans in the lake and the deer and rabbits on the property.

“The person who comes can reap the benefits of whatever they enjoy,” Lauro said.

She added the center encourages “people to embrace their bodies and work a little bit harder so they won’t have heart disease or stiffness or pains.”

For a treat at the end of the night, everyone gets a piece of cacao — dark chocolate — donated by East Setauket-based Five North Chocolate, owned by Ben Conard. The director of nutrition said cacao is good for stress and anxiety, and due to being an antioxidant, it rids the body of free radicals.

Hoffner said the group calls the series a triathlon, and it was original board member Jennifer Ross who heard about the idea, as well as adding dark chocolate at the end, and thought it would be a fun way to raise money for the center, which doesn’t charge for its services.

Hoffner said the triathlon series is in its fourth year at The Bates House, and the agency has been grateful to the venue’s manager Lise Hintze who he said loved the mission of the Community Growth Center when he originally approached her. Hoffner said the center holds other events at the venue, including their upcoming Finding Balance: Wellness Conference, a Martin Luther King multifaith event in January and Spring Awakening at the end of April.

Lauro said she invites everyone to try out the class and take time out for themselves.

“Come down and enjoy the simplicity of nature and honoring your body and just being in a great place with like-minded people,” Lauro said.

Walk, Yoga, Meditate & Chocolate meets every Thursday at The Bates House until Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. (There is no class Oct. 31.) The series will start up again in the spring, and the suggested donation is $10 per class. For more information, call 631-240-3471.

County

Suffolk Presents New Plan to Combat 1,4-Dioxane

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

In an effort to eliminate 1,4-dioxane in county drinking water, Suffolk County Water Authority has proposed installing additional treatment systems at sites throughout the county, though costs could be high if plans see the light of day.

In a presentation to Suffolk County legislators, SCWA proposed installing 31 new advanced treatment systems at a number of sites where the levels of 1,4-dioxane are higher than the New York State proposed limit, which is 1 part per billion.

Jeffrey Szabo, SCWA chief executive officer, said the authority is continuing to develop technology that will eliminate toxic chemicals such as 1,4-dioxane.

“We have been working with the health department on our AOP (advanced oxidation process) systems and the results have been successful,” Szabo said.

A concern of 1,4-dioxane is that it can’t be removed through conventional treatment methods and involves a complex process of mixing the contaminated water with hydrogen peroxide, treated with ultraviolet light, which

then gets sent to tanks filled with carbon where the rest of contaminants are filtered out. The hamlet of Central Islip currently has the sole advanced oxidation process system capable of removing 1,4-dioxane on Long Island.

The authority says that its systems can destroy 1,4-dioxane molecules to virtually undetectable levels. Szabo said there are close to 100 wells in Suffolk County that need to be treated for the toxin.

The proposed plan could take five to six years to install all 31 treatment systems, according to the authority’s chief executive officer and it would cost between $1.5 and $6 million in capital costs alone for each system.

“We are trying to get this done as quickly as possible, there are things still up in the air,” Szabo said.

The authority is waiting on the state Department of Health to adopt an official maximum contaminant level (MCL) standard.

According to officials, they expect to get confirmation sometime in early 2020.

Szabo stressed that the authority and other water providers will need time to adjust to the new standards as well as to implement the new systems.

“This will take time, each system has to get approved by the department of health before it can be installed,” Szabo said.

In the case of the AOP pilot system in Central Islip, officials said it took over two years to get approval from the Department of Health.

“We want to reassure the public that we are

doing everything we can,” Szabo said.

1,4-Dioxane has been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a likely carcinogen associated with liver and kidney damage after a lifetime of exposure to contaminated drinking water. The chemical has been found in industrial solvents, detergents, shampoos and other products.

In July, the state health department began the process of adopting the MCL of 1 part per billion. The department would become the first in the country to set a limit on 1,4-dioxane.

Similarly, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has planned to offer $350 million in grants for treatment.

At a forum in February, the Long Island Water Conference estimated the cost of treatment systems for close to 200 water wells contaminated by 1,4-dioxane to be at $840 million.

The authority said it is hopeful it can begin to implement the plan sometime in 2020. In addition, two additional AOP systems are currently in development for pump stations in East Farmingdale and Huntington.

University

SBU Interim President Bernstein Delivers First State of the University

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Michael Bernstein, interim president of Stony Brook University, delivered his first State of the University address at the Staller Center for the Arts Main Stage to a packed auditorium filled with faculty, staff, students and elected officials Oct. 16.

During the speech, which lasted about an hour, Bernstein touched on several topics including important university initiatives, key strategic commitments, enrollment growth, Stony Brook Medicine’s future, financial woes and successes and challenges in the future.

A key theme of the presentation was highlighting the school’s rich history, including attracting trailblazing pioneers over the years and providing world-class education.

“We strive to always evolve to meet the needs of our students,” Bernstein said.

The interim president touched on the university’s efforts in diversity.

Bernstein said he is committed to improve diversity on campus and in the SBU community.

The school in the past year has spent close to $1.7 million on diversity initiatives.

“We believe as scholars and educators

that diversity generates optional results and better education that we can provide for our students,” the interim president said.

Similarly, Bernstein highlighted the university’s increase in admitted international students. He stressed the need to continue to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for them.

“We are an elite institution not an elitist institution — that is very much part of our DNA here at Stony Brook,” he said.

On the economic side of things, Bernstein touted that SBU continues to be a vital contributor to Long Island.

SBU is the largest single-site employer on Long Island with more than 15,000 employees and has continued to be an economic driver in the local economy generating more than $7.2 billion.

Bernstein highlighted the accomplishments of Stony Brook Medicine.

He mentioned the expansion of the Stony Brook Medicine umbrella with new partnerships in Southampton that include the MART building in November and the Children’s Hospital in the Hospital Pavilion, which had a ribbon-cutting ceremony today. “[The hospital] will be the very best facility on Long island for pediatric care,”

Bernstein said.

Reducing expenses and increasing revenue was an important topic brought up.

Bernstein said efforts have been made to streamline university operations and monitor hiring. Top budget priority areas for the 201920 school year are focused on student success, growth in research and faculty support.

Construction on new buildings and residence halls are underway as well as plans to address

parking problems on campus.

“We know we have to address those issues,” he said. “We will get to a better outcome downstream and we salute you for your patience.”

The interim president also made sure to highlight the university’s four-year graduation rate. The rate for the class entering in 2015 has reached 64 percent, which signifies a 17-point increase over a six-year period.

Ronald John Fitterer Ronald John Fitterer was born on May 31, 1935 in Mineola, New York.

He was one of five children born to Doris and Ernest Fitterer. He was affectionately called Ronnie by his siblings, Dolores, Alice, Richard and Barbara and the name stuck.

He graduated from Mineola High School in 1952 and shortly thereafter joined the military. He spent two years in the Navy and two years as a Navy Corpsman with the Marines.

It was his experience as a medic that led him to become a physical therapist after his discharge. He attended NYU and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy.

He married his first wife and they moved to Kings Park where they had three children, Robbin, Dianne and Eric. He opened up his own private practice in Smithtown, New York at 100 Maple Avenue and remained a physical therapist for over thirty five years.

In 1975 he married his second wife, Grace and they moved to Stony Brook with her four children, Donna, Steven, Glenn and Elena. Stony Brook was his home for the next seventeen years until his retirement from physical therapy in the late 1990s.

In 1998 Ron and Grace moved to Port Jefferson, New York where he began a life-long dream of running a bed and breakfast. The Golden Pineapple became the

“go to” destination for those wanting to experience the warmth and hospitality that Ron offered to his guests. It was at this point in his life that Ron was able to devote much of his time to volunteering in his new and beloved hometown of Port Jeff Village. He became a member of the Chamber of Commerce, with a desire to help new and existing businesses coming into the greater Port Jefferson area. He was a member of the Historical Society where one of his favorite pursuits was working to designate old homes in Port Jefferson as having historical significance, with designated plaques marking their important place in the history of the Village. He sat on the original committee that was formed to restore and preserve the old shipyard building on the harbor and worked to create the existing Port Jefferson Village Center and beautiful parkland that now is the hub of activity in Port Jefferson.

Ron’s last venture was to join his wife, Grace in real estate serving the community in a different way.

In 2013 Ron and Grace moved to the lovely town of Vero Beach, Florida, where he spent his time golfing, gardening, cooking and living out his retirement in the warm Florida sunshine. Ronald peacefully passed away on August 20, 2019 with his wife Grace and her two daughters by his side.

He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, and his stepchildren Donna Bernardini (husband Dennis), Steven Jacinto (wife Patrice), Glenn Jacinto (partner Pat Casarona) and Elena Jacinto. He is also survived by his children from his first marriage, Eric Fitterer (wife Karen), Robbin Hatzichristos (husband Chris), and Dianne Ragno (husband Eric). He is also survived by a total of 13 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. He will also be missed by his many nieces, nephews and dear friends. A private Celebration of Life service is to be held at a later date.

The War in Afghanistan has lasted longer counterterrorism operations, we no longer own than World War I, World War II, and the Ko- the streets. According to the latest UN statistics, rean War combined. Today, U.S. soldiers born civilian deaths have spiked in recent years. On Sept.

Howfrom Afghanistan and I have been asking my- ever, President Donald Trump’s (R) recent actions have only complicated matters on the ground. self the same question.

While the United States — not NATO at Camp David. Inviting the Taliban to Camp — maintains authorities to engage in direct David the week of 9/11 was as offensive to the

memories of 9/11 victims as the president’s decision to abruptly call off peace negotiations was short-sighted.

An imperfect peace deal between the U.S. and the Taliban serving as a predicate to longerterm, intra-Afghan peace negotiations between the elected Afghan government and the Taliban is not ideal — but it may very well be the only way to extricate ourselves from a “Forever War.” America must protect its homeland and ensure transnational terrorist networks — such as al-Qaida and ISIS-Khorasan (the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan) — never again launch an attack against the United States or its allies.

At the same time, we must admit no military strategy can win the war in Afghanistan. We cannot bomb our way to peace and stability. The U.S. military can affect conditions to influence peace negotiations and politics at the margins, but military action cannot be our end goal.

The Afghan people, justifiably, wish to live in freedom and peace devoid of the tyrannical yoke of the Taliban. If the U.S. withdraws the bulk of its 14,000 troops, the Taliban will not accede to liberal democracy. At the same time, we must be honest and accept an indefinite Western military presence in Afghanistan is not sustainable or in America’s strategic interest.

We need to set Afghanistan on the path to peace, continue to invest financially and diplomatically, ensure we can exercise influence over a future Afghan government — a government likely to

incorporate elements of the Taliban — and, at least for some period of time, maintain a limited military presence with the capability to strike at transnational terrorist elements looking to project violence in the West.

The challenges in Afghanistan present no easy or enviable solutions, but after 18 years we must bring an end to forever war. In spite of the bravery, commitment and skill of our military leaders and service members on the ground, the president’s reactionary tendencies are doing little to secure long-term American interests. Indefinite, unrealistic commitments of lives and treasure in Afghanistan distracts from more strategically significant national security and diplomatic threats.

However, Congress is much to blame for enabling presidents of both parties to everexpand the military’s footprint across the globe in the name of the Global War on Terrorism.

Afghanistan is but one example of the missioncreep plaguing our military strategy. Congress must exercise the courage to authorize a new AUMF, circumscribe the president’s powers and critically re-evaluate how we project force around the world and to what ends.

Don’t Abandon the Kurds, Strategic Implications Are Disastrous The president has endangered the lives of our troops — and hundreds of thousands of civilians — with self-centered recklessness in Syria. Will U.S. Rep. Zeldin (R-Shirley) look to stop him?

Last week, while I was in synagogue observing Yom Kippur, a congregant came forward to sing “God Bless America.” In an instant the entire room was on its feet, singing loudly, hands over hearts. Jews and other historically oppressed groups have flourished in America — we believe in our country and its values. Unfortunately, days later I still can’t shake the feeling that these values are under threat. News that President Donald Trump (R) has abandoned our Kurdish allies continues to sink in, and the ramifications are severe.

The Kurds have proven themselves to be among our most reliable Middle East allies — doing the heavy lifting against ISIS and defending their north Syrian enclave from the repeated attacks of the Putin-backed Assad regime. To the extent ISIS was nearly eliminated, we owed a debt of gratitude to

the Kurdish fighters. But the Kurds, in return, the decision represents an utter betrayal of counted on our presence to dissuade Turkey’s the American values we love and cherish.

Moreover, critique the president’s behavior in Syria.

He’s shown off his skill as a Washington politician, spinning a web of nonsensical conspiracy theories and dodging questions.

Zeldin seems to have forgotten America’s responsibility to protect friends who serve with us, like the Kurds, from annihilation.

That is why Americans put our children at risk serving abroad, and why we salute our flag while at home. One corrupt president and his disrespect for the American values that mold us together cannot be allowed to destroy our country. It is incumbent on each and every one of us to stand up and make our feelings known. One local congressman’s silence cannot be allowed to represent Long Island’s patriotism.

Perry Gershon is a former Democratic congressional candidate for New York’s 1st District and is running again for the same office. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Yale and a master’s in business administration from the University of California. He is also a national commentator on business, trade, policy and politics.

Editor’s note: TBR News Media has reached out to U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin for his comments on the ISIS/Kurdish situation.

Comsewogue Loses in Field Hockey Shootout to Huntington

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Comsewogue field hockey team’s game Oct. 12 was scoreless after 60 minutes of regulation, forcing the Warriors into a shootout against the visiting Blue Devils of Huntington. Lauren LoScalzo and teammate Anna Wickey settled it for the Blue Devils, besting the Warriors, 2-1, to snatch the victory.

Comsewogue was back in action Oct. 15 on the road against Lindenhurst, winning 3-0, before their final game of the regular season against Walt Whitman at home two days later, Oct. 17, on senior night. Game time is 6 p.m. The Warriors are currently 6-7 in Division I.

Huntington lost at home against Sachem East, 5-0, Oct. 15, and is now 5-8. The Blue Devils are back at it Oct. 17, hosting Riverhead with game time set for 4 p.m.

Editorial Tale of two methods

It may be difficult sometimes for news consumers to decipher between a news article written by a journalist and a press release composed by a public relations practitioner, especially when the number of the latter outnumbers the former. In an era of websites and social media, press releases are plentiful and can be easily shared. So, readers should take heed.

No offense to those in the public relations field. These are the people who play a valuable role in working with journalists to alert them about interesting stories in their coverage areas and connect them with important people.

However, during times when newsrooms are short-staffed and websites make it easier to post items, many times press releases may appear as articles, though they adopt a public relations position that aims to promote rather than inform. For many news outlets, the luxury of using a press release as only a starting point and digging in deeper with their own reporting has become more and more difficult. And with one quick posting, a story presented by a PR person is shared as news.

When it comes to some short pieces — say about an upcoming career fair, what’s going on at the local library or what awards students or people have won — sharing a short press release isn’t a bad idea. When applicable and appropriate, these pieces can be a valuable tool, because journalists can’t be everywhere.

But when it comes to articles that take on controversial subjects, such as where taxpayer money goes, or where an elected official or political candidate stands, it would be wiser to look for the pieces written by a bona fide journalist. Why? Simply because a press release is written to present the stance of a person or institution, usually from a positive point of view. News articles written by journalists look to represent the various sides of an issue, and when it comes to hot button topics, to find the information that wasn’t revealed. This information is also vetted and double-checked.

It’s important for readers to pay attention to what they are reading. When it comes to contentious events, does the article include all sides? Does it cite documentation that verifies the stated facts? Does it show different points of view and include the names of people who chose not to comment? Be sure to look for multiple points of view from credible, authoritative people with firsthand knowledge of a situation, such as an eyewitness or an expert.

It can be difficult at times. There are those contacts who are inaccessible — some even hiding behind their public relations staff — and with short-staffed newsrooms, a well-written press release can be a big help. But when it comes to articles about contentious topics and important matters, make sure that article you’re about to quote at the dinner table or party or share on social media has been carefully constructed by someone who attends the meetings, makes the phone calls and asks the important questions.

Sharpen your skills when it comes to interpreting information.

The skill is essential at a point in time when the ways of democracy are being challenged.

Letters to the Editor

‘Joker’: A Cinematic Atrocity In early 1972, the motion picture “A Clockwork Orange” was released to movie theaters nationwide. Based on a 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess and brilliantly directed by Stanley Kubrick, it was probably the biggest cinematic shocker since Hitchcock’s “Psycho” from 1960.

The “Clockwork” story took place in a futuristic/dystopian London, where gangs of crazed, hopeless and violent youths terrorized what was left of the upper class, who lived in terror behind the walls of their fortified mansions. The movie originally received an X rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, and no one under 17 was admitted, period.

While the scenes of rape, violence and torture were “mind blowing” at the time, the movie would now most likely evoke laughter amongst today’s moviegoer, since we, as a society, have long since surpassed — starting with the Manson gang — anything depicted in that film.

The term “horror show” was introduced

into the lingua franca starting with “A Clockwork Orange.”

Fast forward to October 2019: I never thought I would see the day where law enforcement agencies across the country would be put on alert over the release of a Hollywood movie, but “Joker” has proven me wrong.

This latest cinematic atrocity from Hollywood is aimed squarely at the “droogs,” those young men who live vicariously through the sociopath/ psychopath protagonist in the lead role, often perceiving celluloid fantasy as twisted reality. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, in a role made famous by Heath Ledger among others, the feckless Hollywood smut peddlers have a ready-made audience with a certain depraved set. “Joker” aside, Hollywood continues to top itself in terms of cinematic depictions of gun violence and perverse behaviors aimed at the 17-to25-year-old demographic, yet are front and center in the anti-gun, anti-bullying hypocritical b.s. emanating from the walled and guarded precincts of Tinseltown.

Don’t even get me started on popular music, which has degenerated to the point where there’s hardly any music in between the computer-driven beats and the inane, seizure-inducing drivel passing for lyrics.

William Schaefer recently submitted a letter in the Sept. 26 The Village Times Herald [see above] where he was searching for an explanation regarding President Donald Trump’s continued support from his Republican base.

We are on the verge of total societal collapse a la “Clockwork,” due to the permissive, decadent and feckless “progressive” movement, birthed by Bill Clinton, financed by George Soros, and championed by the Democrat-controlled TV/movie/internet/social media.

Trump is allowing many of us to enjoy a brief respite before it all hits the fan.

We’ve gone from “The English Patient,” and “Shakespeare in Love,” to “Joker” in one generation. Prognosis: poor.

Come to County’s Open Budget Meeting As Suffolk County Legislature presiding officer, it is my responsibility to ensure that residents have trust that their elected officials have their best interests in mind as they prepare the operating budget for the year to come and make decisions about how their hard-earned tax dollars are spent.

Understanding that the need for transparency is vital to that trust, I have changed the process so that the public will have an opportunity to hear what is and what is not contained in the fiscal package prior to its being adopted.

This year, I am opening the bipartisan

2020 Operating Budget Working Group’s meetings to the public as it considers its priorities for the coming year. The give and take is vital to the process of adopting an operating budget that holds the line on taxes while adequately representing the interests of constituents throughout Suffolk County.

The 2020 Operating Budget Working Group will meet on Oct. 17 and 21 in the auditorium of the William H. Rogers Legislature Building in Hauppauge.

The public is welcome to attend these meetings which are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

I do believe these changes will encourage greater public participation in and transparency of the budget process.

For committee meeting times, please visit the Suffolk County Legislature website at www.scnylegislature.us or visit obwg@suffolkcountyny.gov to share input. The audio portion of the working group meetings will be streamed live on the Legislature’s website.

DuWayne Gregory (D) Presiding Officer Suffolk County Legislature

What Democrats Really Want Contrary to the fears of Leonard Henderson [“Agreeing with letter ‘God Help America,’” The Port Times Record, Oct. 10], Democrats do not want to establish a socialist state, but support capitalism and private enterprise as well as the Constitution.

Democrats only want to ensure that all Americans have access to good, affordable health care, respect for law, the right of a woman to choose an abortion if her conscience and religious position permits.

Democrats want a living wage for workers, a fair deal for consumers and many other similar policies.

What is truly not only frightening but terrifying for those who love this country and support the Constitution, is a president who thinks he is above the law, who would turn this into an authoritarian state if he could, who has corrupted the U.S. Department of Justice in an attempt to make it his personal fiefdom, who illegally locks

up people who are within the law to seek asylum and puts children, separated from their families, in cages. He panders to racists and anti-Semites. He denies global warming which is the greatest threat humankind has ever faced. He conducts a chaotic foreign policy which alienates allies. And, he is weak, because only weak people, afraid of the truth, lie. That’s what terrifies me.

Looking to Google Results for Presidential Buzz

I

like to play Google games, just to see how many results I can get on certain search terms. I know I’ve come up with something incredibly specific when the list is 100 or fewer.

Now, to play my game, I sometimes use quotes to increase the specificity of a particular search.

For example, I might be interested in hamburgers or “hamburger helper.” The former brought up D. None 481 million in a recent search and the of the above latter, as you might

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF have guessed, was much lower, at 1.3 million. Please know that the figures I am quoting are never static.

Given the highly public nature of the 45th president, Donald Trump (R), I thought I’d check to see how a man who was once a TV personality did on Google. And, from what I can tell, he is winning the search war.

The words “Donald Trump” netted 520 million results. For someone who appears to enjoy the spotlight, even when people are raging against him, that number is impressive. That’s well above the 141 million for Mickey Mouse and the 60 million for our first president, George Washington. Granted, he has been dead for almost 220 years and Mickey is an animated creature. It is, however, below the 633 million for Brexit.

OK, so let’s compare Trump to, say, the 44th president. While President Barack Obama (D) did better than Washington, he didn’t climb as high as Mickey, getting 109 million results. He was, however, twice as popular in the search engine as his immediate predecessor, President George W. Bush, whose name, complete with the “W.,” brought 54.6 million hits. Ah, but then “Dubya,” as he was called, was higher than President Bill Clinton (D), who netted only 33.8 million results.

So, what does this mean? Maybe it suggests that presidents are on a Google escalator and that the modern reality is that the internet has become the way people search for news about the men who have led our country. The 2020 winner likely stands to become an internet search winner, too.

Assuming that the Google popularity contest is relevant, what does it say about the Democratic presidential candidates? Well, a front-runner and former Vice President Joe Biden brought 107 million results. As an aside, that’s well above the 37.5 million results from the person who holds the office of vice president today, Mike Pence (R).

Back to the Democratic candidates. Elizabeth Warren stands at 47.1 million. That beats Pence, but she’s not running for vice president, at least not yet. Whoops, bad Dan. Bernie Sanders, who ran an impressive campaign in 2016, brings up 70.2 million results, which is much higher than Warren, despite her impressive political career.

Kamala Harris has 18.5 million results, with others, like Cory Booker, at 5.6 million.

But, wait, is this a popularity contest?

Well, yes and no, right? These candidates need

EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Leah S. Dunaief GENERAL MANAGER Johness Kuisel MANAGING EDITOR Kyle Barr EDITOR Kyle Barr

LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Kathryn Mandracchia ART AND PRODUCTION DIRECTOR Beth Heller Mason

sufficient visibility to attract votes. People also need to be interested in them, right? Does former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s 90.9 million results mean she’s more visible than some of the people running for president? No, it’s a reflection of her close run for the highest office in the land in 2016. That is pretty impressive for someone who wasn’t elected, but is well below singer Taylor Swift’s 415 million.

Perhaps the president in 2020, whether it be the incumbent or a challenger, will immediately see a spike in results, as people around the world type in his or her name each day to find the latest news related to the country and to his or her policies.

As an aside, I couldn’t help wondering how often the current president mocks someone or something. The term “Trump mocks” brought up 747,000 results. By comparison, “Biden mocks” only had 14,700 results. Then again, “Trump applauds” had 82,500 results, compared with “Biden applauds,” which had 3,090. No wonder Trump fatigue has set in for some people: He’s everywhere on the internet.
