Newfield High School students are mourning the loss of a classmate. On its website, Middle Country school district shared the news of the death of senior Jenna Perez, 17, who was the victim of a hit-and-run accident that occurred Aug. 24 along Route 347 in Port Jefferson Station. “It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the tragic loss of one of our own,” Principal Scott Graviano said in the statement. “Jenna Perez, scheduled to start her senior year at Newfield, was killed in a hit-and-run accident last night in Port Jefferson Station.” The high school started providing grief counselors Aug. 26, according to the statement. “Please keep Jenna, her twin sister Janell, her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers,” Graviano added. Perez, of Selden, was crossing Nesconset Highway southbound, approximately 300 feet west of Terryville Road in Port Jefferson Station, when she was struck by a vehicle believed to be traveling westbound on the roadway at around 9:25 p.m. Aug. 24, according to Suffolk County Police Department. The driver fled the scene in the vehicle. Perez left work at Five Guys and was walking to Taco Bell when she was hit, according to SCPD officials. Where she was crossing there is no light or crosswalk, and it’s possible she was hit by more than one vehicle. The high school senior was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner. A GoFundMe page In Memory of Jenna Perez has been set up to help her family with burial costs. On that page organizer Emily Keuler describes the Newfield student as “a beautiful, hardworking, intelligent teenager who strived to create a good life for herself, despite obstacles that may have come her way.” As of Aug. 28, nearly $7,500 had already been raised, surpassing the $5,000 goal. “She did not deserve the fate she suffered at the hands of someone so careless and negligent in their actions,” Keuler wrote in the post. Another GoFundMe page Justice for Jenna Perez was set up by Jose Ortiz on Aug. 27. According to information posted on the page, the funeral will be held at Ortiz Funeral Home in the Bronx and information would be posted once dates are confirmed. According to a post by Ortiz on the page, Perez was an employee for more than two years with the Five Guys franchise and training for a management position. “She enjoyed photography, taking pictures of her dog, her favorite pastime, and did volunteer work for peers with special needs,” Ortiz posted. “Her perspective was a glass half full mindset and she was loved by many.” Detectives are asking anyone with information on this crash to call the Major Case Unit at 631-852-6555.

Brookhaven IDA rejects tax breaks for proposed Heatherwood apartments
BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The proposed apartment complex project on the property of the Heatherwood Golf Course in South Setauket will not receive a tax benefits package after the Brookhaven Industrial Agency rejected a proposal that would cut property taxes on the land by $3.76 million over 13 years at a hearing Aug. 21. Also included would be $2,854,000 in sales tax exemptions and $420,000 in mortgage recording tax exemptions. In total the developers would see savings of more than $7 million. The decision proved to be a small victory for some area residents who have been against the project since its inception. They were concerned that the proposed tax breaks could negatively affect local school districts and development would increase traffic congestion at the intersection of Route 347 and Arrowhead Lane. Representatives for Heatherwood said at the meeting that they could not move forward with development without the tax breaks. Salvatore Pitti, president of the Port Jefferson Station-Terryville Civic Association, said the notion of developers abandoning the project was wishful thinking. “We never wanted it from the beginning,” he said. “The entire community has been against it.” The proposed project dates back to 2014 when it was brought up to the Town of Brookhaven zoning board and was approved of a crucial zone change that allowed for apartments on the property. As a part of the approval, the town board required the property owner to donate 40 acres of land to the Manorville Farm Protection Area, remove a billboard at the golf course and construct a sidewalk on the east side of Arrowhead Lane. “The zone changes already occurred,” Pitti said. “We’ve already accepted the fact that it will be developed [eventually]. Why do you need tax breaks if you don’t have the money to build it? It came off as them being more greedy.” In 2018, the Planning Board approved
the proposed plans for the company to build on nearly 26 acres of its more than 70-acre property. The project, dubbed the Heatherwood Golf & Villas, will be a 200-unit senior apartment complex catering to individuals 55 and over. The planned project would reduce the 18hole golf course to nine holes to allow developers to build the apartments and would supposedly bring more revenue to the golf course. IDA members questioned the reason Heatherwood needed tax breaks to move forward with the project. Heatherwood said that the project would create six permanent fulltime jobs, though IDA members said it wasn’t enough jobs to grant it the benefits package. Herb Mones, chair of the Three Village Civic Association land use committee, was shocked when he first heard that Heatherwood was looking for tax breaks. “I was like ‘You gotta be kidding me,’” Mones said. “It wasn’t enough that they got the zoning approval, but now they need tax breaks — at some point enough is enough. It is corporate greed.” Mones argued that the project would forever affect the surrounding communities. “It adds to the over development, we lose open space and a golf course,” he said. “...We are happy the IDA turned them down.” Mones along with Pitti wasn’t buying that the project would be abandoned if Heatherwood didn’t receive the tax benefits package. “There is no possibility that they will not develop that land after they got the zone change, they are going ahead with the project,” Mones said. “It will yield a gold mine for the corporation. We believe this will bring no benefits to the community.” Despite, the IDA rejecting the package, Pitti said he wouldn’t be surprised if Heatherwood broke ground on the project in the next few months. A representative from Heatherwood did not return messages requesting a phone interview by press time.
Town BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The bouncing Greek folk music coming from the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption invited hundreds of locals to join in the 58th annual Port Jefferson Greek Festival. From Aug. 22 to 25, local residents got to share in the history and culture of Greece. Along with many of the classic carnival rides and games, participants could shop for Greek memorabilia and stand on line for the chance to eat some classic Greek food including gyros, moussaka, pastitsio and tiropita. The annual event fundraises for the Greek church’s activities.

Patchogue man killed in Port Jefferson motorcycle crash
A Patchogue man died in Port Jefferson Friday, Aug. 23, after his motorcycle left the road and struck a tree, police said. Friends and family established a roadside memorial for Jason Russo, 35, along Sheep Pasture Road near Willis Avenue, on the north side of the small bridge with pictures, flowers and candles spelling out his name. Friends and family came to pay respects throughout the weekend into Monday. Suffolk County police said Russo was operating a 2008 Kawasaki motorcycle westbound on Sheep Pasture Road when he lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway and struck a tree at around 6:45 p.m. He was transported to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson where he was pronounced dead. The motorcycle was impounded for a safety check. Police have asked for anyone with information about this crash to call the 6th Squad at 631-854-8652.

Opinion
Letters to the Editor
Parents across the North Shore are hoping their teenagers will soon get to sleep in — even during the school year. Many studies now point to the benefits of teenagers starting high school later in the day, and some residents are delving into the research and discussing the issue with other parents. It may take work, but we think the idea is important and we hope district officials will keep their minds open. Studies have shown that teenagers do better when their first class starts after 8:30 a.m. Start times in our coverage area can vary with East Setauket’s Ward Melville High School’s first class bell ringing at 7:05 a.m. Many other high schools start well before 8 a.m. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day for teens “to promote optimal health.” The reason why many teenagers don’t get the recommended hours of sleep each night may have nothing to do with tons of homework, juggling activities and spending time on electronic devices. It may just be that children tend to fall asleep a few hours later when they become teenagers due to biological changes. The outcome when you add early school start times to late nights? Many teenagers walk around like zombies, constantly sleep deprived. Insufficient sleep, which can cause drowsiness and impaired memory, can affect an adolescent’s academic and athletic success, as well as health and safety. Scientists have found that over the long haul, sleep deprivation in one’s younger years can lead to more severe problems in the future, including obesity and engaging in risky behaviors such as drinking and drug use. It’s an invalid excuse to say kids need to get used to waking up early to prepare for the workforce. It’s equally detrimental to call out young people for spending too much time up late. The science says these rhythms are to be expected. In the past, it was considered beneficial for high schoolers to come home after school earlier, so they could babysit their younger siblings. Today, most high school students are involved in sports and clubs, and aren’t available to help out with this task. And with the existence of after-school programs, there are many opportunities to make life easier for working parents. An earlier morning for elementary students could also prove beneficial to working parents, who need to get kids on the bus before work. Furthermore, teenagers are able to get to the bus stop without the supervision of their mothers or fathers. While it may be true that a change in start times can create issues when it comes to scheduling sports games, schools start at different time all across the leagues. Some student-athletes are already waiting around for games to start after the last bell rings. The most important thing, beyond both sports and academics, is a kid’s mental health and well-being. While it may not be possible for all high schools to start at the same time to create the perfect scenario for sporting events, it is feasible for each district to listen to parents and, more importantly, find a start time that will help their students reach the fullest potential. The ways of the past don’t always pave the way to future success.
In response to what I thought was a noncontroversial column by Leah Dunaief [Aug. 8] on the sad decline of local newspapers, a letter from Robert J. Parmegiani [“Newspapers have become too biased,” Aug. 15] claims that the cause of this decline is left-leaning bias. He couldn’t be further from the mark. The primary reason for the decline is reduced advertising revenue. Advertising is how newspapers make their money. According to the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, revenue from advertising is down sharply since 2005 while revenue from circulation is slightly up. Print newspapers are declining for the same reason brick and mortar outlets of every description are: technological change. Online outlets have not only taken billions of dollars from newspapers in ad revenue, they’re also giving away for free what newspapers report. Think of aggregators like Google News, Yahoo or HuffPost. Trained journalists who dig deep and check facts and sources are expensive, but it’s easy and cheap for anyone with a computer to “report” unsubstantiated allegations, rumors and conspiracy theories

as “news.” The letter writer gives two examples of purported left-leaning bias in newspapers. He claims that the Ohio shooter supported Elizabeth Warren, that the Florida school shooter supported Bernie Sanders and that not one newspaper reported this. Regarding the first, actually newspapers including The Washington Post and USA Today, as well as the AP wire service did report this. Even so, unlike the El Paso shooting, no connection has been established between the Ohio shooter’s motives and his politics, which makes his politics less newsworthy than those of the El Paso shooter, who drove more than 600 miles for the express purpose of killing “Mexicans.” As for the Florida school shooter’s supposed support for Bernie Sanders, the reason we haven’t read about it in the papers is because it’s not true. I challenge the letter writer to cite his source. What is true is that the shooter had significant psychological problems, that he was rabidly racist and anti-Semitic on social media, writing “I hate Jews, n----rs and immigrants” on Instagram, and that he used a legally purchased AR-15 to commit his crime.
As far as painting President Donald Trump (R) a racist, newspapers are not necessary. His own words and actions are sufficient. So instead of newspapers, what news source would the letter writer have us rely on? Trending stories on Facebook and Twitter? “The abusive and often factually incorrect tweets of the president?” Websites that are little more than propaganda and simply echo partisan talking points? The shouting heads, spinmeisters and selfappointed gurus on cable news? The biggest “fake news” of all is the purported left-leaning bias of the press. Maybe the letter writer hasn’t heard of Rupert Murdoch, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Times. For some, starting with Trump, “fake news” is anything that doesn’t reaffirm his greatness. No matter how firmly based in fact news reporting is, the letter writer apparently stands ready to accuse it of being “left leaning” if it doesn’t reconfirm his own political beliefs. There’s a name for this in sports. It’s called working the ref. David Friedman St. James
Voting is the underpinning of democracy I regularly depend on The Village Times Herald for my local news and information. I hope my letter about an important federal concern is read and acted on by as many of your readers as possible. Our democracy is in deep trouble. The founders, and the Constitution they produced, gave us a guide, but it could guarantee nothing. They depended on our citizenry to implement and protect one of the greatest experiment in government organization ever attempted — The United States of America. The main and most essential underpinning of our democracy is our
vote. We must work against suppression of the vote, gerrymandering, fake news and election machine tampering. The House of Representatives has just passed a bill to appropriate $600 million to aid the states in guaranteeing the correct count of our vote in 2020. It is meant to be spent on upgrading local election machines and election board procedures so that no one, no other country, can contaminate our legitimate ballot counts, as Russia attempted in 2016. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has refused to bring the bill up for a vote in the Senate.
We can do something to protect our democracy right now. I suggest that each of you who read this, call Chuck Schumer (D-NY) or Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) or both. Tell them to bring the House bill up for a vote, to make our voting machines secure, to verify the vote in 2020. Call 833-413-5906 and Common Cause will connect you. There will be an event all over the country Sept. 17 to support this. You can follow it online at SecureOurVote. US/take-action. Letters to the editor are important too. Rita Edwards South Setauket
The evolution of news Introduced in 1949, regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, the Fairness Doctrine required holders of a radio or television broadcast license to suspend entertainment and host independent, nonprofit programs reporting local, national and international news, sports and weather, for periods of no less than 10 minutes at least twice a day. This policy was dismantled, through a series of court battles in 1986, in favor of the
present policy of free market journalism. Justices of the high court of appeals in Washington, D.C., concluded that news was a form of entertainment and corporations holding licenses had a right to profit from it. Bias, right or left, is profitable entertainment. The news (story) will use tools, of conflict/resolution, from the fiction writer’s tool kit to get us to keep watching past the commercial or to read on. In today’s market “who, what, where
and when” is the only unbiased news you will get. TBR News Media is comprised of six community newspapers that focus on local news, and I applaud them for it. The editorial published Aug. 22 regarding local civic groups needing our participation is a case in point. I had not thought of that. I thank them for a good piece of unbiased writing.

A modern update to Murphy’s law
Y
ou know Murphy’s law, right? Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Well, it seems that we need to update Murphy’s law. To that end, please find a few of my experiential and observational corollaries. • Your kids know more about electronics than you do. Yes, I know there are information technology people who are keeping up with the latest apps, some of whom may actually write D. None the apps. But most of the above of those people BY DANIEL DUNAIEF stop using their phones or looking at their work when
they go home. Your kids are using them all the time. They are professional app users, while you likely know one app extremely well. • You will receive a message from your airline when it doesn’t help. I appreciate how airlines, and even Expedia, offer to send you updates on your flights. Most of the time, however, the text that the plane is delayed two hours will arrive just after the car that’s brought you to the airport pulls away from the curb. • Following the rules at the doctor’s office, the DMV or anywhere else you might be a captive audience rarely works. I recently went to a doctor’s office half an hour early because the email requested that I arrive then for my first appointment. I waited more than an hour for a consultation that lasted a few minutes. • You’re likely to leave out a critical word at a critical time in a critical email. Let’s say someone proposes an idea at work that you find wholly objectionable and unworkable. You respond: “I can agree with this idea.”
Forgetting the word “not” then means that your boss, who proposed the idea in the first place, now gives you ownership of a process that is even worse than it seemed when you first read the email through your sleep-deprived eyes. • The cute baby that made you smile in the airport or the bus station will be sitting behind you for hours. In the few moments when he’s not screaming, he’s kicking your chair right behind your head, rendering the noise cancellation headphones you bought utterly useless. • In the world of TMI (too much information), you’re likely to hear something that makes you wish you had a plastic bubble. Someone near you on a subway will be talking to his friend on the phone about a strange rash that’s spreading everywhere while coughing violently into the air. • The cable or appliance repair person who gave you a four-hour window when he might arrive at your house will come at the beginning
of the window, the end of the window or in those three minutes you stepped out to get a cup of coffee just down the street. When you return to find the note indicating how sorry he was that he missed you, you have an adult tantrum which terrifies the neighbors and their kids, who will no longer come to your house during Halloween. • Complaining about the performance of an athlete who never seems to live up to his or her potential means that athlete will do something incredible within moments of your most vocal complaint. That will be the case unless you’re complaining because you secretly believe that will lead to a winning effort. In that case, the athlete will meet your low expectations. • The year you move to a place where you’re assured there are no hurricanes, you watch the familiar sight of wind tearing through your backyard, as a hurricane fells trees you have owned for all of two weeks. Ah, cypress tree, we hardly knew you.
it’s a cliché, but one with significance. To be fully aware at any given point of where we are and what is happening around us is to enjoy a full existence. Feeling the sand give way underfoot during a walk on the beach, hearing the calls of seagulls over the water as they search for dinner, feeling the soft wind coming up from the southwest as it blows against one’s cheek, smelling the salt in the air as the waves break against the shore — all of those experiences enhance the present moment. “Let it go,” offers another. Now we are getting into deeper discussion. We carry guilt to some degree, all humans do. We also carry anger, or fear, perhaps. We may struggle with resentment, envy, an affront, disappointment, hurt, traumatic memories and any number of other negative emotions. Have we learned after all this time to let them go? Or at least have we learned how to work through them so they lessen in our hearts and minds? “I have learned how much it pleases me to make connections,” was another response. “If I am somewhere and meet a stranger who is striving for a goal, and I know something
or someone else who could perhaps help that person to realize his or her ambition, I enjoy connecting them.” That comment made me think of one of my favorite analogies, that of comparing life to a game of billiards. We glance off each other as we move along, perhaps exchanging a few words in just a few moments that have meaning. I remember one day waiting for the light at Ninth Avenue in Manhattan on my way to the Lincoln Tunnel and New Jersey. How many times I had made that trip, and always the same way. But this one time I noticed that the pickup truck waiting next to me was turning in the opposite direction despite having New Jersey plates. So I rolled down my window and called out to the driver, asking where to turn. He yelled back his answer, the light changed and we both drove away. But his way shortened my trip by several minutes. In that brief exchange, he changed my life positively. How meaningful even the briefest connection can be. As you might tell, we had a good time at our mini-reunion.
An insightful reunion This week there was a mini-reunion at my house of college classmates who happened to be in the area. One actually came in from Arizona, but she was making her annual New York visit anyway and included a trip to my house from the city. It was great fun to see the nine women who arrived for lunch and chatter. As classmates we do share a lifetime bond and, as contemporaries, we share a lot of history and culture. We don’t have to stop mid-sentence Between and explain our obscure references you and me to younger listeners BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF because everyone gets the point. Each of us is curious to see how the others have aged. We mentally compare wrinkles,
double chins, weight gains. We talk about our children, our grandchildren, our husbands and, in a couple of cases, ex-husbands. We tell each other about good plays we have seen, worthwhile books we have read, interesting trips we have taken. But these are superficialities. What we really want from each other is to share wisdom. After all, we have been around the block a few times by now and hopefully have learned a few things in the process. So we ask the question of the group: At this stage of life, what is a most important insight you have had? One answers, “To be appreciative.” I can certainly relate to that. To wake up in the morning and know you have the gift of a new day, and if you are lucky, to do with that time as you wish. Some who came still work, others are retired. Most people who come to reunions, I think, are basically happy with their lives. So since the miserable ones don’t come, those who do make it find common currency in appreciation. “I have had a good life so far, I’ve been very lucky,” is a frequent refrain. “To be in the moment,” posits another. Yes,
