Did You Know That A Local Purchase Can Benefit The Local Economy 3 Times More Than The Same Purchase At A Chain Retailer?

East Northport residents are invited to a dinner that honors local veterans for their service while raising money for a cause.

The Fr. Thomas A. Judge Knights of Columbus will hold its fourth annual Patriotic Night Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. Veterans representing all the service branches and U.S. military engagements from World War II to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars will speak about their experiences.

The dinner’s featured guest speaker is Mark Capodanno, who will talk about his cousin Fr. Vincent Capodanno. Vincent Capodanno was a U.S. Navy chaplain who served in Vietnam and died heroically in a hail of machine gun fire rushing to the aid of several dying Marines and a Navy corpsman. For his actions, he received the Medal

of Honor posthumously and is being considered for canonization as a saint by the Catholic Church.

General admission is $7 per person, $3 for children under age 12 and Boy Scouts in uniform. All veterans, active and retired military personnel are invited to attend for free.

The dinner will be an All American meal of hot dogs with all the trimmings, beans, cole slaw, apple pie, ice cream, soda and coffee.

Wine and beer will be available for purchase.

Patriotic Night is a fundraiser for Boy Scout troops 5 and 52. Those with questions or seeking additional information should call 631-262-1891 or visit www. frjudge.org.

Veterans build homes to aid others in need

By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com Veterans who have served our country are proving in Huntington Station they can also learn the skills to help build a better local community.

More than 20 veterans received their certification in construction at the Huntington Opportunity Resource Center Nov. 13 after successfully passing through VetsBuild, a program offered by the nonprofit United Way of Long Island, that provides job training in green construction, facility maintenance and technology for veterans and their families.

“VetsBuild is not just about teaching home building skills and construction skills, it’s about building your lives,” said Craig Fligstein, vice president of community impact for United Way of LI. “It has accelerated positive changes in your life and allowed you to take a new turn in your career.”

Huntington Station resident Jerome Robinson, a 2017 VetsBuild graduate, said he served 11 years in the U.S. Army and as an officer in U.S. Army Reserves.

“We have served our country in different ways, but we are all looking for a way to move forward and find a new and exciting career path for ourselves,” Robinson said. “Personally, VetsBuild has opened up a number of doors.”

Robinson, 52, said he was previously employed doing overnight custodial work

huntington Station veteran Jerome robinson, ninth from left, stands with the 2017 VetsBuild graduating class at the huntington Opportunity resource Center nov. 13. for Stony Brook University and struggled to make ends meet after being laid off in September. He learned about the free sixweek construction program through United Veterans Beacon House, a nonprofit organization that provides temporary and permanent residences for U.S. Military veterans in Nassau and Suffolk counties, and started classes Oct. 2.

“I knew it was a chance to make myself more marketable to potential employers and

find a career,” Robinson said.

VetsBuild will offer two to three training sessions a year for veterans depending on demand, according to Rick Wertheim, the senior vice president of housing and green initiatives for the United Way of LI. Those enrolled take daily classes in basic construction techniques and earn their Occupational Safety and Health Administration 10-hour certification. Students then have the opportunity to train in specialized disciplines of the

trade, from electrical to gas work, based on their interests, Wertheim said.

Robinson said he will be moving forward with GasPro, to gain skills in gas appliance installation and repairs. Others in his class will become electrical apprentices and at least one will be going back to college for an associates degree in renewable energy.

The skills the veterans have learned are used to build energy-smart homes throughout Long Island, including some for other veterans in need. The United Way of LI debuted the most recently completed VetsBuild home at 40 Depot Road in Huntington Station. It was specially commissioned by United Veterans Beacon house to become a residence for five veterans with special needs.

The more than 3,500-square-foot house was named the 2017 Grand Winner for Innovation in Affordable Homes by the U.S. Department of Energy as part of its Housing Innovation Awards. The Depot Road home earned the recognition by being a “zero energy ready home” because it incorporates specialized innovative green features. These features render the projected annual energy cost at a netgain of $200 per year due to its capability to sell off excess energy produced by its photovoltaic solar panels. Other green technology featured in the home includes a solar thermal water heating system, internet-controlled heating and air conditioning, and 100 percent LED lighting.

TOWN Town eyes change of leadership at Grateful Paw

By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com Huntington town officials are weighing the pros and cons of a change of leadership at Grateful Paw Cat Shelter, but some volunteers fear their minds are already made up.

The town board voted 4-1 to schedule a public hearing on Little Shelter Animal Rescue taking over operation of the town-owned cat shelter for Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. at town hall.

Little Shelter was one of two organizations who responded to the Oct. 3 town’s request for proposals (RFP) by those looking to operate the shelter. The RFP is for a five-year contract to operate the cat shelter starting January 2018, undertaking the responsibilities of taking in and caring for any stray and displaced cats; emergency pickup of stray cats in the town; operating a trap, neuter and release program for feral cats; and facilitating cat adoptions by residents.

David Ceely, executive director of Little Shelter, believes his nonprofit’s experience as an independent no-kill shelter makes the company qualified for the job.

“We handle a lot of the emergencies, particularly the cat emergencies in Huntington already,” he said. “We think that facility has so much more potential. We would like to maximize the potential that facility has and represent the Town of Huntington.”

While Little Shelter has never had a formal business agreement with the town, according to Ceely, the nonprofit has informally worked to pull dogs from its town shelter to alleviate overcrowding and help prevent euthanasia due to lack of space.

huntington town officials will hold a public hearing on the future of grateful Paw Cat Shelter Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.

The other application was submitted Nov. 3 by League of Animal Protection of Huntington, according to its president Debbie Larkin, who has run the nonprofit shelter for more than 40 years.

“I’d like to hope every council member and the departing supervisor had the chance to read through the proposals carefully,” Larkin said. “I hope that this response to the RFP was not an exercise in futility for us and their minds were already made up.”

The two responses were reviewed by a five-person panel comprised of representatives from the town attorney’s office and Department of Public Safety, according to town spokesman A.J.Carter. The applications were

evaluated based on criteria outlined in the RFP: proof of not-for-profit 501(c)(3) status in good standing; sufficient employees/ volunteers to operate the facility; plans for emergency cat pickup; adoption applicant criteria; breakdown of medical services provided for adopted cats; and submission of the past two years of shelter records and IRS 990 tax filings showing a not-for-profit status.

Based on these criteria, the panel found Little Shelter to be the “successful, responsive and responsible proposer.”

Councilwoman Tracey Edwards (R) was the only board member who voted against scheduling a public hearing on Little Shelter taking control of the cat shelter come January.

Edwards said she is in favor of the town signing a contract with LAP. “We were going to award the contract before to the [League of Animal Protection],” she said. “Now that they got their 501(c)(3) status back retroactively, I think it would have only been fair to give it back to them.”

Town officials first solicited bids from any organization interested in running the cat shelter earlier this spring, after it came to light in April that the LAP had lost its not-for-profit status with the IRS in 2015 but never notified the town. Huntington Attorney Cindy Mangano said the town became aware of this breach of the contractual agreement when drawing up a new document, as the previous agreement expired in December 2016.

At the June 13 town board meeting, council members voted to give LAP an extension until Nov. 30 to regain its not-for-profit status and halting the current RFP process.

The organization’s attorney and accountant were able to get its 501(c)(3) status reinstated by the IRS within five weeks, according to Larkin, and retroactively applied to the date it was lost.

LAP’s president and several of its volunteers called on town officials to make an executive order to immediately approve the contractual agreement previously drawn up this spring at the Aug. 15 board meeting, which would extend the organization’s operation of the cat shelter.

Instead, Supervisor Frank Petrone (R) insisted the town was legally obligated to move forward with the RFP process, otherwise fearing it could run the risk of another interested party taking them into court over the matter.

Huntington reconsiders term limits for elected officials

By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com Town of Huntington council members will reopen the issue of setting term limits for elected officials by putting it before residents next month.

The town board voted unanimously to hold a public hearing Dec. 13 on term limits for all elected officials in the town.

Councilman Eugene Cook (R) presented a revised resolution that proposed that individuals elected to the offices of town supervisor, town council, town clerk, receiver of taxes and superintendent of highways be limited to three consecutive terms, for a total of 12 years, in the same office.

“Since I’ve been elected, I wanted to put term limits in and I didn’t have any support for it,” Cook said. “I spoke to the new [elected officials] coming in, and they asked me if three terms was alright.”

Cook previously made an effort to bring up term limits in August, which was defeated. This revised resolution differs from his August proposal, which suggested setting the limit at two consecutive terms, or a limit of 8 years in office.

The August proposal failed to move forward after Cook and Councilwoman Tracey Edwards (D) tried to amend it so that the nonlegislative positions of town clerk and

receiver of taxes would not be term limited. Supervisor Frank Petrone (D), Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) and Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) voted against the amendment because they said they believe term limits should apply to all elected officials equally.

“I believe what’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” Cuthbertson said after the Nov. 10 board meeting.

Petrone, who is preparing to leave office after serving for nearly 24 years, and Cuthbertson (D), who was re-elected Nov. 7 to his sixth term having already served for 20 years, have both agreed to move forward with a public hearing Dec. 13.

The supervisor admitted while he was not initially in favor of implementing term limits, he’s had a change of heart.

“Term limits bring movement, people can move to other places,” Petrone said.

“People in the town can move, like Susan [Berland] did, to the county when there are vacancies and there’s only a vacancy in the county because there’s a term limit.”

Berland, who first took political office as a Huntington board member in 2001, ran a successful campaign to be elected the next representative of Suffolk County’s 16th Legislative District Nov. 7, taking over for Legislator Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills). Stern could not run for re-election due to being term limited.

Similar to Cook’s revised resolution, Suffolk County legislators are limited to serving 12 years in office.

Cuthbertson said he agreed to have the public hearing and will listen to what residents have to say on the issue Dec. 13 before making a decision.

The Nov. 9 motion to move forward with implementing term limits comes only two days after state Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R) was elected to be the town’s next supervisor and his running mate, Republican Ed Smyth, won a seat on the town board. Both Lupinacci and Smyth’s campaign promises focused on government and ethics reform, including support for term limits for town officials. Lupinacci and Smyth take office in January 2018.

“While we appreciate the town board’s enthusiasm about term limits, we may better serve the public by passing a comprehensive ethics reform package beginning next term, which includes term limits for policy makers, among other initiatives which make government more transparent, accountable and efficient for the people of Huntington,” Lupinacci said in a statement.

The town board has the option of voting on Cook’s resolution at their Dec. 13 meeting, immediately placing term limits on those newly elected.

Cook said if his measure is not approved in December, he will continue to push for reform.

“If it doesn’t go through, I’ll put it up again in January,” Cook said. “It’s good for the people of Huntington, that’s for sure.”

Elwood residents get first look at $38.2M in proposed bond repairs

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com The Elwood school district opened its doors to residents last week for a night of building tours in anticipation of the Nov. 28 bond referendum vote to spend $38.2 million on infrastructure repairs and upgrades.

School administrators guided parents through the district’s four buildings Nov. 8 — Harley Avenue Primary School, James H. Boyd Intermediate School, Elwood Middle School and John H. Glenn High School — to provide firsthand glimpses of the proposed numerous critical repairs and renovations within each school. The projects are addressed in two propositions community members will be able to vote on Nov. 28.

The tours were considered effective by the small — yet invested — group of parents who walked through each school.

“You can tell me all you want that there are cracked tiles but seeing it actually brings it to life and makes you see the real needs here,” said Michael Ryan, whose daughter is a graduate of the district. “We have a responsibility to make sure students have an environment that’s conducive to education.”

Marianne Craven, an Elwood resident for 40 years, thought it was a good idea for the school to host the tour.

“We’ve had all sorts of bond issues over the years, but I think this is the first time we’ve ever had a tour,” Craven said. “Those that didn’t come lost the visual. A picture is not worth a thousand words, and actually seeing it makes all the difference.”

The first proposition of the bond totals $34.5 million and will cover major projects like the installation of new roofs on each school which currently leak and cause flooding whenever heavy rain occurs.

In observing the leaky ceilings throughout the middle and high school, Jill Mancini, a former district clerk at Elwood, said, “I moved here in 1975 and the roofs have been leaking since then. All of them.”

Also included under Proposition 1 are repairs to cracked sidewalks and curbing and the refurbishment of auditorium spaces and cafeterias, which need air conditioning as well as furniture replacements. In the middle and high school, the consumer science labs would be upgraded, along with the art rooms, locker rooms and a guidance suite.

“We need to bring them up to 21st century learning environments,” said Superintendent Kenneth Bossert, who led the tour of the middle school. “Some folks who visit our facilities feel like they’ve stepped back in time when they enter [some] classrooms and it’s just not the right environment to teach our students the new skill sets they need to be successful.”

Karen Tyll, the mother of an Elwood seventh-grader, said seeing all the infrastructure problems was eye opening.

“They haven’t done enough throughout the years to maintain the schools and replace the things that are required replacements,” Tyll said, pointing out the importance of stable roofs. “We’re reaching a point where everything is sort of coming to a head, and we need to make the schools better in terms of health and safety for the kids.”

Although she said it’s unfortunate the district needs such an expensive bond, Tyll hopes it will be worthwhile in the end.

“Some of the items are unnecessary because they’re more wants rather than needs,” said one mother on the tour who asked not to be named. “A roof is definitely needed, but the new guidance suite is a want. Our taxes are going to go up and they should’ve separated some of these.”

The superintendent said he felt the Nov. 8 tours were productive in helping residents understand the scope of the proposed bond.

“It’s difficult to get a true sense of the needs of the facilities solely from the use of pictures and videos,” Bossert said.

“I believe residents left with a greater understanding of the priorities the district has brought forward.”

Heroes for a day

Northport High School’s Business Club for Students participated in High School Heroes Day at Bellerose Elementary School Nov. 9.

A group of 44 business students, representing grades nine through 12, were trained by a Junior Achievement representative in order to be “teachers for a day” at Bellerose. This day was organized in an effort to provide a basic overview of the business

world to younger students.

The lessons taught focused on how communities work, what economics are and the circulation of money. In addition to teaching younger students about the economy, the goal of the program was to also provide positive role models for younger children and to foster effective school-to-school connections.

Several students had siblings in the classes they taught, while others taught in their old classrooms.

Calculating geniuses

The Northport-East Northport school district was informed recently that five students have been accepted into the Institute of Creative Problem Solving for Gifted and Talented Students.

Northport Middle School eighth-grade student Braden Ciszek; Northport High School freshmen James Connor, Tara D’Amico, and McKenzie Schuvart; and East Northport Middle School sixth-grader Luke Tuthill are five of the 90 students who received this honor.

There were 600 students across Long Island nominated, but their selection for the program places these students in the top one-tenth of one percent of math students Island-wide.

These five students will spend 50 hours during 20 Saturday mornings studying an extensive mathematics curriculum. This tuition-free institute is supported by SUNY Old Westbury, the Suffolk and Nassau County Mathematics Teachers Associations, the Nassau County Interscholastic Mathematics League and others.

Honoring vets

In honor of the holiday, U.S. military veterans visited students in the Harborfields school district.

At Oldfield Middle School, eighth-grade social studies students were able to speak with different veterans.

Donna Boyle, a U.S. Army veteran whose family has been in the service since the early 1900s, spoke with Jeff Shade’s class. Boyle brought in items for the students to look at, such as medals, photo albums and actual food rations. Boyle was also the only female veteran visiting, and students had many questions about her service. Throughout the day students inquired about different aspects of the military, such as boot camp, the types of weapons used and whether it was hard being away from family.

At Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School, U.S. Army member Michael Fiorentino delivered a video message from Italy for students in Stacy Kalish’s and Nicole Logozzo’s classes.

After watching the video, the students wrote letters back to the army member.

Blue Devils bow out in final seconds of qualifying round The No. 5-seeded Huntington football team came within 18 seconds of pulling off an upset of No. 4 Half Hollow Hills East on its home field Nov. 4, but the Thunderbirds rallied for a 14-10 victory in the Suffolk County Division II qualifying payoff round.

The Blue Devils led the entire game but couldn’t stop Half Hollow Hills East’s final drive capped off by Michael Monitto’s jumping touchdown reception of a 12-yard pass thrown by Jason

HHH East 14 Huntington 10

Spinelli. Monitto bobbled the ball before securely grabbing hold of it for the winning touchdown.

Huntington dominated the game, controlling the ball and the clock through much of all four quarters. The Blue Devils were ahead 10-0 entering the final frame, but easily could have had a more substantial advantage. Huntington was stopped four different times inside the Half Hollow Hills East 10-yard line and also missed several field goal opportunities.

“It was tough walking away from that game with a loss,” senior quarterback Alex LaBella said. “We played our hearts out and I was very proud of my teammates and the way they played. Huntington football has taught me a lot in my four years here; things that I will remember forever.”

Huntington’s points came on an 8-yard touchdown pass from LaBella to senior wide receiver Luke Eidle and a 27-yard field goal by senior Nat Amato.

“I thought that we were clearly the better team,” Eidle said. “We beat up Hills East for four quarters, but unfortunately the game didn’t go our way.”

Half Hollow Hills East cut the Blue Devils’ lead to 10-7 on an 80yard pass play in the fourth quarter.

The Thunderbirds scored the winning touchdown after Huntington advanced all the way to the 5-yard line late in the game, but was unable to punch it in.

“We beat them at almost every aspect of the game and it feels terrible knowing that we should’ve been the team going on to the next round,” senior defensive end Sam Bergman said. “Nevertheless, I’m very proud of

our team this year and how we’ve grown, not only a football team, but as a family.”

Huntington concludes the season with a 5-4 record. Half Hollow Hills East is now 8-1. The Thunderbirds play at No. 1 West Islip (7-2) on Nov. 11, where they were shut out 29-0.

West Islip plays No. 2 North Babylon for the Division II title at Stony Brook University Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.

Blue Devils players took the loss hard.

Huntington used three different players at quarterback after starter John Paci was injured a week earlier at Bay Shore and sidelined for the playoff game. Eidle took the majority of snaps, but LaBella also saw a good chunk of playing time, tossing a touchdown pass and gobbling up yardage on several acrobatic runs that saw him twisting, turning and otherwise dodging

would-be tacklers.

“Our team played our hardest the whole game,” senior middle linebacker Anthony McDonald said. “We gave 110 percent every play. Luke stepped up big for us at quarterback. He learned all our plays in a week. In my eyes he was our team’s MVP. I’m proud of the team for the way it played yesterday and the whole season.”

Despite being in position to pull off a stunning victory, Huntington just couldn’t close out the game.

“I think we played an intense and great game,” junior running back Eric Sands said. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t finish it with a win, but I wouldn’t change my Blue Devils team for another. I’m looking forward to my senior football season.”

Architecture Guide HOME FEATURES: arches, columns, dormers, roofs, windows, classic molding RESIDENTIAL STYLES: Art Deco â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Homes built in this style feature geometric elements and a vertically oriented design.

California Bungalow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A forerunner of the Craftsman style, California Bungalows offer rustic exteriors, sheltered-feeling interiors, and spacious front porches.

Cape Cod â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A true classic, Cape Cod homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; square or rectangular one-story structures with gabled roofs and unornamented fronts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were among Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first houses.

Colonial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, Colonial homes feature a rectangular, symmetric design, second-floor bedrooms, clapboard siding, and gabled roofs.

Contemporary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unmistakably modern in feel, Contemporary style homes are identifiable by their odd-sized windows, lack of ornamentation, and unusual mix of wall materials.

Craftsman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Full or partial-width porches framed by tapered columns, overhanging eaves, and exposed roof rafters differentiate a Craftsman home from the similar California Bungalow.

Creole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A front wall that recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony highlights the Creole Cottage design.

Dutch Colonial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; German, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deutschâ&#x20AC;?, settlers in Pennsylvania originated the Dutch Colonial style, dominated by a barn-like broad gambrel roof with flaring eaves.

Federal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek Roman culture, as its classical ornamentation around cornices, doors, and windows demonstrates.

French Provincial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which includes a steep hip roof; balcony and porch balustrades; and rectangular doors set in arched openings.

Georgian â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Refined and symmetrical with paired chimneys and a decorative crown, Georgian houses were named after English royalty.

Gothic Revival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; English romanticism influenced this style marked by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gothicâ&#x20AC;? windows with pointed arches; exposed framing timbers; and steep, vaulted roofs.

Greek Revival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Large porches, entryway columns, and a front door surrounded by narrow rectangular windows characterize Greek Revival homes.

International â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts, ground-to-ceiling plate glass windows, and smooth facades.

Italianate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Symmetrical bay windows in front; small chimneys set in irregular locations; tall, narrow, windows; and in some cases towers, typify Italianate houses.

Monterey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an adobe brick exterior and a second floor with a balcony.

National â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rooted in Native American and pre-railroad dwellings, the National style consists of a rectangular shape with sidegabled roofs or square layouts with pyramidal roofs.

Neoclassical â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Recognize Neoclassical homes, which exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses, by their Ionic or Corinthian-columned porches.

Prairie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style house comes in two styles--boxy and symmetrical or low-slung and asymmetrical.

Pueblo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Flat roofs, parapet walls with round edges, straight-edge window frames, earth-colored stucco or adobe-brick walls, and projecting roof beams typify Pueblos.

Queen Anne â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Emerging in the late Victorian era, the style employs inventive, multistory floor plans that often include projecting wings, several porches and balconies, and multiple chimneys with decorative chimney pots.

Ranch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Similar to the Spanish Colonial, Prairie, and Craftsman styles, Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, wood or brick exterior walls, siding, and picture windows.

Regency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Although they borrow from the Georgianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic lines, Regency homes eschew ornamentation. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re symmetrical, two or three stories, and usually built in brick. Typically, they feature an octagonal window over the front door, one chimney at the side of the house, double-hung windows, and a hip roof.

Saltbox â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This New England Colonial style gained the Saltbox nickname because its sharply sloping gable roof resembled boxes used for storing salt.

Second Empire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Victorian style, Second Empire homes feature mansard roofs with dormer windows, molded cornices, and dec-

Š97347

orative brackets under the eaves.

Shed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with multiple roofs sloping in different directions, which creates several geometric shapes.

Shingle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An American style that echoes the Queen Anne, Shingle style is distinguished by unadorned doors, windows, porches, and cornices; continuous wood shingles; a steeply pitched roof line; and large porches.

Shotgun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door of this long, narrow home. The style is characterized by a single story with a gabled roof.

Spanish Eclectic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Taking its cues from early Spanish missions, Spanish Eclectic then adds a dash of details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles.

Split Level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Modern style, Split Level design sequesters certain living activities, such as sleeping or socializing.

Stick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards characterize Stick houses, which are members of the Victorian family.

Tudor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more steeply pitched cross gables typify Tudor homes.

Victorian â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture often incorporated decorative details such as brackets, spindles and patterned shingles.

OpiniOn Letters to the editor

Editorial

Trotta: Thank you voters for re-electing me

Screenshot from Twitter

Men and women take part in sharing abuse stories on Twitter using the hashtag #MeToo.

The power to curb abuse The sexual harassment dam broke when the allegations surged against producer Harvey Weinstein.

A tsunami of newly empowered victims have spoken out about sexual harassment in the workplace after the fall of entertainment heavyweights like Weinstein and Bill O’Reilly, and it has led to others coming out against actor Kevin Spacey, comedian Louis C.K. and many others.

Most employers take allegations of sexual and ethnic harassment seriously and show little tolerance when presented with credible cases of abuse. However, in situations where the accused are “rainmakers” — individuals on whom the success of the business depends — too many companies sweep allegations of predatory behavior under the rug.

With a wave of accusations of sexual harassment and assault, often dating back years, the industry frontrunners have been forced to step down from their roles, but there needs to be consistency, and more needs to be done to restrict the persistent flow of these cases.

We can only hope that the last month will serve to further empower victims harboring years-old stories. It is important that anyone with a story to tell knows that if credible, their story will be believed and repercussions will follow. We hope more men, women and children step up and speak out, regardless of whether or not the abuser is in a position of power, though we understand how difficult that is. Don’t be fearful of public embarrassment, don’t worry about your reputation and never feel like lesser goods. Instead, think about the wrongs you’d be righting. Think of the people you could prevent from coming in harm’s way, and think of the justice that will be served.

There are two types of repercussions for situations like these: legal ones and societal ones. In the situations where statutes of limitation have expired or physical evidence is limited, legal consequences are not always possible. When those cases arise, it is incumbent on society to make the pain felt elsewhere.

Following the Bill Cosby allegations, all of his “The Cosby Show” videos were removed from television, Netflix, YouTube, etc. While Netflix has parted ways with Spacey on “House of Cards,” all of the seasons from pilot to finale are still intact, as well as C.K.’s show “Louie,” although Netflix has canceled his planned stand-up special, and his new feature film has been put on hold.

How Cosby’s work has been treated in the aftermath of his date rape revelations provides a sharp contrast to the conversation around C.K.’s.

The latter is currently receiving thought pieces on separating the flawed man from his brilliant work. Even if the accusations are not as harsh as those brought upon Cosby, the allegations are disgusting and should be treated as such.

In the last year, Cosby said he’s completely blind. Let’s see if the cases against Weinstein, Spacey and C.K are enough to open the eyes of society to the inappropriate conduct and crimes of people in power. We hope that the country and workplace don’t turn blind eyes to these behaviors the way some people did for now-President Donald Trump (R) when he said in his leaked tape of “locker room” talk,, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy,” To the Cosbys, Weinsteins, Spaceys and C.K.’s of the world, locker room talk and actions are not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

We welcome your letters. They should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste.

We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation. Email letters to sara@tbrnewspapers.com or mail them to The Times of Huntington, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733.

Thanks for your support during the recent election. I will continue my efforts to reduce government overspending and to stop the fee increases imposed by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) to fill holes in the budget.

I will also reintroduce my Campaign Finance Reform Act to put a limit on the amount that

unions and contractors doing business with the county can contribute to the campaigns of candidates running for office.

With support from the State of New York, I look forward to working on the revitalization of our communities with state funds that have been earmarked for sewers and the cleanup and re-

development of the Nissequogue River State Park.

Thank you again for your vote of confidence and I look forward to serving you.

Rob Trotta Suffolk Legislator 13th District

Fighting a new kind of war The world was a dangerous place during World War I. It was even more dangerous during World War II. And, it was frightening enough during the Cold War that ensued. Then came the Korean War and Vietnam. And now, our valiant soldiers are maimed and dying in far away deserts as we seek to stem the Jihad threat.

Meanwhile, we face a new kind of conflict today, one that is just as deadly and fearsome as any we faced in the past, perhaps even more so. This new insidious threat cannot be contained by trench warfare as the allies waged in World War I. It cannot be won with a massive invasion like the one that took place in Normandy 73 years ago, nor will it abate with a truce as were those that were negotiated in Korea and Southeast Asia.

Unlike guns and cannons and missiles and such, ideologies are

the deadly elements of the battles being fought in the 21st Century.

They fuel a kind of insanity that was ushered in on Sept. 11, 2001, and that continues to beget unexpected mayhem and death.

Perhaps the reason this new kind of warfare scares the living daylights out of us is because it requires no battlefields. The fighting is done on our streets, in our churches at festive occasions such as a concert featuring pop music. The theaters of operations are literally in our own backyards. The purpose of the anarchy is elusive. Is it conquest that drives the perpetrators? Or is it a malevolence that lurks in the deep recesses of their minds?

We saw that Sunday, Nov. 5, when a gunman opened fire and killed 26 innocent worshipers and wounded 20 others at a Texas church in an otherwise peaceful Baptist church in a suburb of San

Antonio. Just six days earlier in New York City, unsuspecting bicyclers and pedestrians were mowed down by a truck driven by a lone terrorist as his victims took the sun on a bicycle path in lower Manhattan. Eight died and many others were injured.

All I can do is recollect that this past weekend we memorialized all those that fought in wars past and present. We call the day Veterans Day in honor of those valiant soldiers, sailors and airmen who risked and lost their lives protecting their homeland. Some call it Remembrance Day, which is perhaps a more apt moniker as we take the time to remember not just all those who fought our wars but all those who lost their own lives — the innocent civilians who are the victims of conflict.

Dan Weber, President Assoc. of Mature American Citizens

Participate in the Great American Smoke Out Did you know that tobacco is the only product that, when used as intended by its manufacturers, kills?

This week, tobacco companies are gearing up to launch a courtmandated ad campaign admitting that they lied to the American public about their deadly and addictive products for decades. The ads will make clear that companies intentionally made cigarettes more addictive and that all cigarettes cause cancer. The court case that issued the sentence also found the tobacco companies guilty of marketing their dangerous products to

children and lying about it.

This new court-mandated truth campaign follows the passage of New York State legislation restricting e-cigarette use in public places.

We’ve also seen new traction in many of Long Island’s localities on raising the age of sale for tobacco products from 18 to 21. Despite these meaningful steps forward, tobacco use is still the leading cause of preventable death and disease in New York State and the nation. More than 28,000 New Yorkers die every year from smoking-related illnesses.

This week we celebrate the

Great American Smoke Out [Nov. 16]. It is a day to call on your local representatives to stand up for stronger tobacco control, demand that we protect our youth from harmful and addictive tobacco products and a day to encourage a tobacco user you love to finally make a plan to quit smoking.

It’s time to hear the truth and take it seriously. Let’s show tobacco companies they can’t have a hold on our community.

opinion The benefit of second thoughts in an instantaneous world

W

e rarely get anything completely right the first time.

I’m not just saying that because I’m a second child. I idolize my older brother. In fact, I’m fond of my younger brother, too.

We need practice. When we’re young, we take a few steps and we fall hard.

Fortunately, at that age, we’re practically made of plastic, bouncing off the nearby floor as if it were a downy soft trampoline.

As we age, the

By Daniel Dunaief floor gets harder.

With each figurative step through life, we make adjustments, learn on the fly and revise our approach.

We recently visited a few colleges

D. None of the above

with our daughter. The cheerful school representatives were selling us on the idea that their classes were great, the students they admitted were incredible and the opportunities were extraordinary.

One theme that stuck out, especially after several schools presented it as if unique, was that they made students uncomfortable. They wanted to challenge their undergraduates to reach outside their comfort zone. They wanted eager students to fall down and, in so doing, learn to get back up.

This idea of falling is part of the charm of enjoying the ride. We listen to elementary school music concerts in which someone plays a few notes after the conductors arms have stopped moving, we nod encouragement when the young person on stage says a few of the wrong words in a speech, and we suggest to our kids that they’ll spell “because” correctly the next time.

The country may have forgotten that our strutting president, who has been

in the public eye for so long, has never been a politician. He’s definitely outside his comfort zone, acting like a president when he hasn’t even been, to borrow a phrase from him, “elected dog catcher.”

People pounce on every mistake, every breach of protocol and every misstatement, ready to tar and feather him for saying or writing something that probably would play better on a fictionalized reality TV show than it does for him as president of the United States.

He’s so eager to be a part of every story and to expand his brand — something he’s been doing reflexively for years — that he doesn’t appear to take the time to recognize or acknowledge mistakes.

I know how it is to say, “my bad.”

Many people consider admitting a mistake some sign of weakness, instead of a reflection of strength and self awareness. Erring, as the saying goes, is human.

You don’t get many free passes when you’re president. You either learn or you

don’t, you either unify or you don’t, and you either say or do the right thing, or you don’t.

Still, it seems to me that he might endear himself to more people, and win higher ratings, if he took a few extra seconds to think about whether he might write or respond to something in a different way. He doesn’t seem burdened by the kind of reflection that allows for his own second thoughts to enter the discussion.

People are eager to rip him apart each day, but let’s remember something his handlers and cohorts seem to embrace regularly: He gets angry when people point out that he’s fallen down.

Maybe he can meet us halfway, by learning to take an extra second to edit his thoughts or speech. When he takes a few steps without falling, we can breathe a sigh of relief, the way parents do when they’re no longer bending over to protect their children from bumping their heads on nearby coffee tables.

Overcoming grief and hardship with a purpose

J

oe Biden has written a book called, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose,” about one year in his life. A memoir, it deals in part with the illness and death of his elder son, Beau, from brain cancer at the age of 46. I have not read the book. It just came out this past Tuesday, Nov. 14. But the coincidence of the book’s release on the day my husband died at a similarly young age exactly 30 years ago from cancer has connected me to Biden. I know what he went through — the

By Leah S. Dunaief shock, the pain, the hope, the heartbreak, the grief and the end that ultimately comes crashing down into silence. Then he faced the absolute necessity of having to pick up and function because life moves on with every passing day. And we must move on with it because there is no respite for the living.

Between you and me

Biden also writes about his difficult decision not to run for president in the 2016 election and about the foreign crises in Iraq, the Ukraine and Central America as part of his workload during that one year.

“I wanted to write precisely about the crises and dilemmas I faced as they intersected in the moment,” Biden told Philip Galanes in an interview with The New York Times. “I wanted to show that in the ebb and flow of life, nothing is totally separable.”

I know that Biden was lucky to have those other facets to deal with, just as I was lucky to have a huge challenge almost immediately after my husband’s death.

Two of my sons were away in college, the third was a high school senior and the newspaper was being challenged by the Communications Workers of America to unionize. A reporter on my staff, who had already made his mark by unionizing the teaching assistants at Stony Brook University, brought the union to my door. He turned his attention to our hometown newspaper, despite the fact that there wasn’t a community newspaper in all of New York state that had a union.

Shoestring budgets and multitask jobs preclude coordinated decision making with a union. The CWA was attracted, I guess, because it represented new territory to conquer. The only problem was that community newspapers are not flush with profits and do not have large staffs to join a union. Nonetheless, we had to fight them off for six months, as they handed out pamphlets with all sorts of painful charges to get our staff worked up against the company. The climax came with an appearance before the National Labor Relations Board in a room without air conditioning in Brooklyn on a hot June day. The pickings were turning out to be pretty lean for the CWA, and they backed off.

Throughout the ordeal, I was wildly angry. I wasn’t getting a chance to grieve. Each day I had to rush to the parapets to defend the honor and integrity of the newspaper against what was to me a ridiculously unequal battle. I barely gave any attention to my grieving son who was still at home, nor did I have a chance to pour out my own grief somewhere in a quiet corner. But I did realize how fortunate I was in those who came to my defense. We had absolutely no money to hire a labor lawyer,

and we had no idea how to respond.

But the newly retired union leader of the Long Island Rail Road came into my office and offered his help.

Harold Pryor was the man who had terrified Gov. Nelson Rockefeller (R) during contract talks by calling wildcat strikes from his totally loyal followers, directing them to abandon the trains at the nearest station during rush hour.

Pryor was living in the area and teaching at Stony Brook University. When he found out what was happening to our newspaper, he thought it was not only unfair but also idiotic. He came to advise me through the thicket of union maneuverings, and he brought with him an experienced lawyer to defend us during the hearing.

It was a script worthy of a movie.

Here was this feared union leader facing off against one of the largest unions for the sake of a peanut of a newspaper.

Jimmy Stewart would have played his part in the spirit of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” And thanks to his aid, we emerged unscathed.

Only after it was all over did I realize that life had thrown me a life preserver, much as it had for Biden, and therefore we hadn’t drowned in our grief.
