2019 Long Island Fall Festival

Each year, the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce with the Town of Huntington organizes a fall festival to celebrate the changing seasons and all that the community has to offer with a carnival, music and food festival, petting zoo and vendor booths.

The free event, held in Heckscher Park during the Columbus Day weekend, attracted tens of thousands of people to the area.

“It was a spectacular event, truly a collaboration with nonprofits, government and community all working together,” Ellen O’Brien, executive director of the Huntington Chamber of Commerce said. “It provides entertainment, business opportunities and cultural events for people of all ages.”

State

State Grant Offered to Legion for Student Camp on Government

BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The American Legion Greenlawn Post 1244 each year selects high school juniors, mainly boys, to send to a weeklong summer camp called Boys and Girls State. The educational program’s instructions on how government is supposed to function is regarded as one of the best for U.S. high school students.

Last week, the organization received a $5,000 grant from state Sen. Jim Gaughran’s (D-Northport) office and has become a significant source of funding that expects to help grow the local program.

“We’ve been receiving typically $50 and $100 from people to sponsor kids,” said Legionnaire Charlie Armstrong, who organizes the program for the Greenlawn post on a volunteer basis.

The post funded 22 kids last year, 20 boys and 2 girls from local high schools.

They are currently in the process of talking with principals and guidance counselors at 10 to 12 local school districts and expect to identify candidates for the 2020 season in the upcoming months. The additional revenue means the post can likely fund more students

to attend.

“The American Legion Greenlawn Post 1244 is committed to ensuring students are exposed to how government is supposed to function,” Gaughran said. “These are critical teachings which allow students real exposure to the fundamentals of government and encourage young adults to be active, engaged citizens. I am proud to provide funding to allow them to expand this great program and thank the Greenlawn American Legion for their unwavering commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for our youth.”

William Floyd student Damian O’Malley participated in the 2019 session, which he said taught him about leadership and the benefits of teamwork. He said it was by far one of the best experiences he’s ever had. He engaged in county, city and party caucuses, which, he said caused him to speak out for which position he wanted.

“I also got to step out of my comfort zone, when I stood in front of everyone in my county and ran for county judge,” he said.

“During the week, I met so many people who I would have never gotten the chance to meet, had it not been for this experience.”

The program dates back to the 1930s,

but the Greenlawn Post has been running its program since 2009, and each year more and more students from the area are participating, though more opportunities are available for Boys State than Girls State, which is organized through the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary.

“When we saw the positive effect this program had on the students we sent, it became our goal to give as many more young people as possible the opportunity to have this experience,” Armstrong said. “After all, they are the future of our country.”

The program aims to objectively expose students to the rights, privileges, duties and responsibilities of a franchised citizen and includes practical training with fictitious local city, county and state governments created by students who are elected and appointed to various offices. Some of the program’s more prominent graduates includes U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, astronaut Neil Armstrong and television reporter Jane Pauley.

Locally New York State Supreme Court Justice Jerry Asher and Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) are graduates of the prgram. Former President Bill Clinton, who famously shook the hand of then

President John F. Kennedy as a Boys State/ Nation candidate, is memorialized in an iconic photo that reveals the aspiring glance of a future world leader.

In a telephone interview Asher said that the program for him was formidable and a very positive experience. Asher attended in 1958 and met two college friends during the training, one that became his college roommate and a lifelong friend.

“It was a very structured environment, a bit like the military,” he said. “We learned about local governments and the issues of the day and held elections for town, county and state governments and had time for sports competition and music.”

He said the lesson to be learned is: Be involved in your community and public service.

The funding will allow 11 Long Island high school students to attend the program.

It is the first year Greenlawn is receiving money from the New York State Senate for the program.

Students interested in applying must be in their junior year of high school and should contact either their guidance counselor or Charlie Armstrong at 917-337-2234 or by email at kiitos@verizon.net.

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

“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 2019-20 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.

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.

Harborfields Board of Ed Sets Bond Vote for Dec. 3 The Harborfields Central School District’s Board of Education adopted a resolution at its Oct. 2 meeting to present a bond proposal to the greater community for a vote on Tuesday, Dec. 3.

The majority of projects proposed in the new bond referendum are basic infrastructure upgrades such as replacing outdated boilers, repairing cracked sidewalks, improving fresh air intake and replacing deteriorating ceiling and lighting fixtures. Not only have many of these systems exceeded their useful life span, but they are no longer compliant to code.

With an increased focus on student and staff safety, a number of security enhancements are also included in the proposal, including the construction of security vestibules at every school.

Original doors and hardware will also be replaced to enhance building security.

The proposal includes a number of academic improvements for students, including the renovation of school libraries at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School, Oldfield Middle School and Harborfields High School. The new spaces will provide students with modern resources, flexible furniture for group collaboration and the latest in educational technology. A new general science

classroom will also be added at Thomas J. Lahey.

A number of physical education and athletic enhancements are also included in the proposal, such as the construction of a new play area at Washington Drive Primary School, and the renovation of the South Gym and the installation of a synthetic turf field at the high school.

The cost of the proposed bond is $20,057,453.

If approved, residents will realize a decrease in school taxes of approximately $150 a year. This is due to the fact that the district has approximately $52.7 million in debt that will be retiring in 2021 and 2023 from the bond used to construct Washington Drive Primary School. The “new debt” associated with this new proposal would essentially “replace” a portion of the old debt.

Residents are encouraged to visit the district’s website, www.harborfieldscsd.net, for detailed information on the proposal, including specific financial information. More information will also be sent to residents in the coming months.

“I thank the community for its input and participation thus far,” said Superintendent Francesco Ianni. “After holding numerous community forums on this topic, we are excited to move forward with a public vote on this proposal. It

addresses critical infrastructure needs within the district and allows us to continue our mission of providing a world-class education for our stu-

dents, one child at a time.”

The vote is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 3, from 2 to 9 p.m. at Oldfield Middle School.

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.

Above: a map showing where the SCWA expects to put the treatment systems, should they be approved; below: an image of the proposed treatment system. Images from SCWA

“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.

“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.

Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity There are none who can withstand your power.

Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. T.G. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted.

Opinion

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 More Guns Mean More Gun Violence

A recent letter appearing in this newspaper [“Don’t hold your breath,” Oct. 10] trots out all the usual suspects behind the appalling level of gun violence in our country.

First a few facts, since facts do matter.

Americans makes up less than 5 percent of the world population, but own 42 percent of the world’s guns. Worldwide, 31 percent of the perpetrators of mass shootings were Americans. The only country — with a population more than 10 million — with a higher rate of mass shootings than the United States is Yemen, which incidentally is second to the U.S. in the rate of gun ownership per capita. Yemen, of course, is in the throes of a bloody civil war. The U.S. has a far, far higher rate of homicide by firearm than any other advanced industrial country, and it has the highest rate of suicide by firearm of any country in the world releasing statistics.

But instead of placing the blame for out-of-control gun violence in the U.S. on lax regulation of firearms, where it belongs, the two writers blame everything but. Mental illness, video games, violence

on TV and movies, even marijuana are blamed. There’s a very basic problem with this logic though.

Are the writers suggesting that Americans have more mental illness than citizens of other countries? How else to account for the gross disparity in gun violence between the U.S. and elsewhere if this isn’t the case?

Speaking of mental health, the writers advocate armed guards, metal detectors, locked doors and police officers for our schools. How does all that effect the mental health of our children?

If video games were the problem, we’d expect mass shootings to be common in Japan or South Korea, both of which spend more per capita on them than the U.S. There’s little hard evidence violence on TV, movies or video games, or the use of marijuana is a factor in gun violence. Curiously, the writers don’t consider alcohol as a suspect.

Predictably, the writers cite the Second Amendment. They say it was put in place “to give citizens the right to fight back against a tyrannical government.” Which in 1787 might have made sense, since the greatest infantry in the world was armed

ISIS Prisoners Escaping Our president has blood on his hands! More than 10,000 Kurdish fighters have lost their lives fighting beside us to destroy ISIS in Syria.

Now more of our former allies are dying in their fight with the Turks because President Donald Trump [R]

has withdrawn our support. How can our allies around the world have faith in our commitments after we abruptly ended our support of the Syrian Kurds.

My wife, Barbara, and I love to visit Northport by boat. We were enjoying the village this summer until my wife discovered that the decorative cameo centerpiece from her ring had popped out and was gone.

This ring was very special to her because it belonged to her late aunt. We retraced our steps and the people working at the Copenhagen Bakery, Skipper’s Pub and Maroni Cuisine could not have been nicer or more helpful. Nonetheless, the cameo was nowhere to be found.

Feeling dejected, we made our way

back to the boat, scouring the sidewalk, the dock and the boat itself, but nothing.

We untied our lines and began to push off when my wife said, “Wait, could that be it” as she pointed to a white spot on the rafter of the dock structure, 6 inches under the water. My initial reaction was “wishful thinking” and that the spot she was looking at was likely a bird dropping on the rafter.

I almost fired up the engine and pulled away, but then thought that it would be best not to have any doubt about this mysterious spot under the water. We grabbed onto the ladder and pulled the boat back toward the dock and positioned it so that I could reach “the spot.” I felt the cameo under my thumb and with great joy pulled it from the muck. It felt like a miracle! If the oval disc had floated down 2 inches in

with muzzle-loading muskets. Are the writers suggesting that the American public needs to be armed so it can fight today’s American military on equal terms? I for one cannot stand seeing more lives needlessly lost to preserve this dangerous fantasy that owning weapons of war protects us against some unspecified “tyranny.” If we lose our freedoms it will be with a whimper, not a bang, like when enough Americans condone a strongman president who ignores the constitutional order and tries to set himself up as above the law.

One more thing: The writers completely missed my point about the passage of the 19th Amendment. The Democratic and Republican parties of today no more resemble the parties of a hundred years ago than a Ford Explorer resembles a Model T. The resistance to women’s suffrage came from the South. Using party labels without historical context is a great way to mislead, if one takes events from a hundred years ago to make a political point about the parties of today.

follow. Trump’s impulsive decision to pull out our forces boggles the mind.

More talking and less bluster in our dealings with our Turkish NATO allies might have led to a less bloody result.

the wrong direction it would be on the bottom of the Northport Harbor. If a passing boat caused a big enough ripple in the water during the hour it rested on the rafter, it could have easily fallen from its spot.

Barbara and I were elated as we made our way home and we will always cherish the memory of our Northport miracle!

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

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.
