Above, filming begins for Indie film ‘What Happened Last Night.’
What really did happen last night? That’s what audiences will figure out in writer and director Candice Cain’s film “What Happened Last Night,” an independent film that puts a spin on and takes a comedic approach to breakups, new f lames, friends and college life. The film retraces the steps of a group of college students after a fraternity
party and opens with main characters Sarah and Danny, played by Alix Kermes and Clayton Snyder. Brookhaven resident Cain brought her cast and crew to Long Island on Nov. 28 and started filming a bar scene at the Long Island Pour House in Port Jefferson Station. Although the film focuses on college students, actress Rebecca Boughton said there’s something for everyone, Indie continued on page A10

Setauket native raises funds to gift her girls By Phil Corso
It isn’t typical for a 9-year-old to reject the joy of crafting a christmas list from scratch, but that’s exactly what 22-year-old Setauket native Hailey del Giorno encountered. del Giorno, a ward Melville High School graduate, recently launched a campaign to raise money to buy holiday gifts for children she works with at Little Flower children and Family Services of new York in wading river. She works in Mary’s cottage with girls between ages 9 and 16, providing foster boarding home care, residential treatment care and adolescent development. and while she said she knew raising funds would be a challenge, she did not expect the toys list to be equally as difficult. “They seemed hesitant at first,” del Giorno, who is now studying psychology at St. Joseph’s college, said about the young girls’ reluctance to share their holiday wishes. “They didn’t seem to want to get their hopes up.” del Giorno landed the wading river job over the summer to satisfy her desire to help others in need and has since been working closely with the young girls, many of whom come from abusive or neglectful homes, every weekend over shifts that could run as long as 12 hours. Since June, she has been working on developing relationships with these girls, but it was not easy, she said. The group did not openly trust del
Giorno at first, she said, often misconstruing her caring demeanor as intrusive or fake. but she made it a point to squash those misconceptions by working longer and longer shifts on a week-by-week basis. “These girls have tendencies to be defensive, untrusting and resistive to authority figures because of what they have been through,” she said. “when I started getting to know the girls, I wanted to show them that I had a true interest in learning who they were as people.” and with each passing week, and each blossoming relationship, del Giorno said she saw the upcoming holiday season as an opportunity to give back and show the girls that she’s on their side. Her co-workers and even family members jumped into action. The goal was to raise $5,000 for the girls so del Giorno and her team could buy them holiday presents and take them out to dinner on christmas somewhere in the community. She launched an online crowd-funding page via Gofundme.com and has since raise close to $2,000 of that goal, with more than two weeks left, and has spent weeks polling her girls with hopes of assembling a holiday items wish list. “Hailey I’m so proud of you,” supporter belinda Groneman wrote on the page. “You have a big heart” Maria adams also chimed in. “God bless you for caring,” she said alongside her donation.

and even when she did get an answer, they were still selfless ones. Several of the girls del Giorno approached used their holiday gift wishes as opportunities to request items for siblings or loved ones instead, including anything from barbie dolls to paint brushes and portable casio keyboards. In the end, del Giorno said she hopes to make a lasting impression on the girls and remind them that family does not
have to be just along their bloodlines. “In my family, we always practiced the concept of giving back to the less fortunate,” she said. “after [my family] learned to care about these girls the way I did, we felt we needed to give these girls an extra special christmas … They are all unique and special in their own ways and shine so positively when they are passionate and excited.”

Town honors Three Village house rooted in history By Giselle Barkley
The american revolution may be a thing of the past but it’s made a mark on long island’s present. after three-and-a-half centuries the historic Brewster House in east setauket is still standing thanks to The Ward Melville Heritage Organization. On Monday afternoon, Brookhaven Town supervisor ed romaine (r), Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (DPort Jefferson station), county legislator kara Hahn (D-setauket) and WMHO officials celebrated the house’s 350th anniversary. During the celebration a check for $10,258 was presented by romaine and Cartright to WMHO to cover the removal of perennial pepperweed from West Meadow Beach, funded by the town and the state Department of Conservation. WMHO President Gloria rocchio said nine generations of Brewsters lived in the house after the town sold the house to Nathaniel Brewster on Oct. 24, 1665. she added that the house may be older than 350 years as it was already built when the town sold the property. WMHO acquired the property in 1948 after John Ward Melville purchased the house from Jennie smith and robert elderkin — they were the last members of the Brewster family to own the home. additions were made to the house before Melville purchased the property, transforming it from a one-room cottage to its current multiple-room structure. Nineteen years after purchasing the house, Melville began restoring the dilapidated building.

The Brewster House was a tavern and general store during the american revolution. Members of the Brewster family resided in the upstairs portion of the home. at the time, Joseph Brewster entertained British troops at the home. Joseph Brewster’s cousin Caleb supposedly frequented the house often during the revolution. He was a member of George Washington’s Culper spy ring alongside the roe brothers, who resided in Port Jefferson, then called Drowned Meadow. in light of the house’s long history, Cartright read the original 1665 deed

29, 1939. it was initially known as the stony Brook Community Fund. While Melville established the organization with the goal of rehabilitating stony Brook village and merging history with the area’s natural beauty, the organization has since expanded on his vision, including the preservation of historic sites like the Brewster House. “We have to understand that we’re part of a continuum of history,” said romaine. “To do that we’ve got to look back as well as look forward, because by looking back we get a clear vision of how to look forward.”

Both romaine and Cartright said the house is the oldest building in Brookhaven. its age and its history made the house worth preserving. “you don’t want to take these historical homes and modernize them, you want to keep the historical culture,” Cartright said. “Ward Melville Heritage Organization understands the importance of keeping the historical significance of these homes so that’s why we’re happy to work with them.” Melville established WMHO on Dec.

Early stage businesses on the North Shore should set their sights high. A state program that offers tax breaks, technical aid and more is now more accessible to startup businesses thanks to Long Island High Technology Incubator in Stony Brook and LaunchPad Huntington. The Innovation Hot Spot Support Program is a smaller version of the New York State-wide program Start-Up New York, which aims to empower more up-andcoming businesses with the tools they need to prosper. Hot Spot does not offer all of the benefits that Start-Up NY offers, but it is less restrictive and has fewer mandates than the former. Start-Up New York requirements include a 10-year commitment strictly at an incubator location, and hiring a certain amount of employees. Hot Spot was created to support companies that are in the early stages of development for the purpose of creating successful businesses in state. In order for a company to get approved for this program, they need to be recommended by a certified Start-Up New York member. The benefits of being in the Hot Spot program include technical assistance, mentorship, entrepreneurial education, development services and tax breaks. Phil Rugile, director of LaunchPad Huntington, said that businesses in Hot Spot are eligible for state tax breaks, corporate tax breaks, are free of sales tax, and can receive legal advice for issues like patents. As of this month, Launchpad is a designated approval site for the Hot Spot program and can now nominate companies to be considered for it, as long as they are tenants of one of LaunchPad’s five locations, according to Rugile. “We want to help startups,” Rugile said. “I’m excited. This is a good program.” One of the reasons LaunchPad is now
part of the Hot Spot program is because the Long Island High Technology Incubator located at Stony Brook University supports them. It’s required for every Hot Spot to be affiliated and supported by a college, university or research institution. Long Island High Technology Incubator is a non-profit business that supports early-stage companies much like LaunchPad. In its 16 years of service, it has housed more than 70 companies and is an official Start-Up New York member. Now LaunchPad joins Long Island High Tech in supporting new businesses and recommending them for programs like Hot Spot. Ann-Marie Scheidt, director of economic development at Long Island High Tech and an adjunct professor at Stony Brook University, said in a phone interview that the council wants to make sure all places they support “represent a innovative family on Long Island that will help startups grow and stay on Long Island.” She said that LaunchPad exposes new companies to “an enormous range of expert resources that are so valuable for an early-stage business.” LaunchPad has already successfully nominated a tenant of theirs to join the Hot Spot program — Nomorobo, a company that shields customers from telemarketers and robot callers. Aaron Foss, founder of Nomorobo, said that LaunchPad wanted any company they nominated to be able to contribute to the community. Ross is also a professor at Molloy College and works with students from Molloy, Stony Brook and Hofstra University to develop their business ideas. Foss said the financial benefits of the program are fantastic. “I have about a $50,000 monthly phone bill, with added costs for sales tax,” Foss said in a phone interview. “That’s thousands of dollars I can use elsewhere, to hire employees or spend on advertising.”

Hospitals across the North Shore and the country have been adapting to an entirely new set of medical codes over the last two months, completely changing the system in which a patient’s diagnosis is detailed. As of October, all hospitals across the United States switched to the ICD10 system, which allows for more than 14,000 different codes and permits the tracking of many new diagnoses. ICD10, an international medical classification system by the World Health Organization, requires more specificity than the previous code system. Doctors at North Shore facilities said they agreed that although it’s time-consuming and has slowed productivity, it is more beneficial to patients in the end. Dr. Michael Grosso, chairman of medicine at Huntington Hospital said these new codes should help make it easier for symptoms of various diseases to be tracked. According to Gross, preparation for the new code started two years ago with a required education program for all physicians that described what all the new codes meant. “Physicians are being called upon to provide more specificity and detail,” Grosso said in a phone interview. He described the codes as a “vast extension” to what the hospital was previously using and said it should “improve the quality of medical records and increase the amount of information that researchers can obtain and make for the best care for patients.” Grosso also said that understanding and learning the codes was an important first step, but ongoing feedback on how the codes are being adopted is equally important. A feedback program has been created at each hospital. John Ruth, director of revenue integrity and interim chief compliance officer at Stony Brook University Hospital,
said Stony Brook used outside resource companies with online courses to teach the new code to their physicians and coding staff. Ruth said that a new code system was necessary, as the previous system, ICD9, was created by WHO in the 1970s. He called ICD-10 a natural progression. “There are a lot more codes for specific organ systems, muscles, muscle tendons and nerves than were required with ICD-9,” he said in a phone interview. Ruth also said that ICD-9 was mostly comprised of three- and four-digit codes, and ICD-10 is up to seven digits in length, which makes the new coding more challenging but more valuable. “If a patient has PTSD, we can assign a code from where he got it from, not just that he has it, which is important for planning his future and ongoing care,” Ruth said. Stacie Colonna, associate director of inpatient coding at Stony Brook University Hospital, said there has been approximately a 30 percent decrease in staff productivity with the changeover to ICD-10 and a shortage of trained staff. “I get 10 questions a day just from internal staff,” Colonna said. But she also noted that staff frequently asked daily questions about the old system as well. She said she expects productivity to improve in the near future. At John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, Chief Medical Information Officer Dr. Joseph Ng said the staff went through web training, too. One-on-one training was also available if a clinician requested it. Ng agreed specificity is both the pro and con of ICD-10. “Because it’s so specific, it really allows clinicians to hone in on what’s really going on with patients and be able to communicate better with one another,” Ng said in an email. “But because it’s so specific, sometimes it’s hard to find the right code, especially when it comes to procedures. The codes

Town purchases blighted Oxygen Bar in Rocky Point By Giselle Barkley
Rocky Point may soon have one less eyesore in its downtown business district. After four years, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said the town finalized its purchase of Rocky Point’s Oxygen Bar property. The Town of Brookhaven acquired the land for $525,000 — a sum $275,000 less than the property owner’s asking price. On May 9, 2011, the town shut down the business after four people were involved in a non-fatal shooting on the premises. The bar’s Place of Assembly permit, which allows people to gather and conduct activities at the location, also expired. For several years, the owner of the Oxygen Bar property rented the establishment to various operators and promoters. Cafe Brianna was one of many businesses that used the establishment before the Oxygen Bar, but that eventually closed due to limited parking. When the bar came into town, initially the CVS across the street allowed cars from the neighboring business to park in its parking lot, but that agreement changed after the shooting. As the area strayed from a familyfriendly location, the town hoped purchasing the property would help revital-
The blighted Oxygen Bar property in rocky Point could soon be demolished.
ize the area — something Bonner started working on before she got into office. According to Bonner, the bar’s poor business plan contributed to its failure in the business district. “It’s one thing to always have a dream,” Bonner said. “It’s another thing to meet and discuss your business plan.”
The bar owners held wet T-shirt contests, gentlemen’s nights and other events to attract residents to the premises, but their attempts were unsuccessful. Since the bar closed in 2011, the property has remained vacant. Now, the town may demolish the building before spring. The plan is to landscape

and beautify the property after tearing down the building. The project would add to the property’s infrastructure improvements, which the town finished last year. “This is wonderful for Rocky Point,” Bonner said. “[The bar’s] always been a blight and an eyesore, even when it was operating.”
Local charity honors a helpful neighbor
Friends of Karen organization recognizes Richard Panico at its third annual Long Island Gala fundraiser
By Giselle Barkley
Richard Panico is a behind-the-scenes kind of guy. So it took some convincing when Friends of Karen wanted to honor Panico, a Miller Place resident, for his charitable nature during its third annual Long Island Gala on Friday, Dec. 4, at the Stonebridge Country Club in Smithtown. The organization’s regional director, Nancy Mariano, approached Panico earlier this year, asking to spotlight him at the event. Initially, he wasn’t thrilled with the idea. “I read this somewhere [that] if more than one person knows you did a good deed, it’s no longer a good deed,” Panico said. “So … to me it’s just not necessary to have that kind of ego.” Panico got involved with Friends of Karen three years ago when he purchased the building out of which the organization operates on Perry Street in Port Jefferson. Currently, Panico’s company Symbio, which provides clinical trial management services for pharmaceutical companies, and Friends of Karen share the building. He turned his efforts toward helping the organization, which aims to offer emotional and financial support to families of children with life-threatening illnesses, but his efforts

didn’t start with Friends of Karen. In 2003, one year after Panico’s company was established, he kickstarted its annual bike-a-thon at Heritage Park in Mount Sinai to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It held
the fundraiser for seven years and raised more than $50,000. “It was good for the company,” said Susan Swamback, an employee of Symbio. “It was good for all of us to feel like a team. … He loves that.”
Swamback also helped with the annual bike-a-thon, but the fundraising stopped after the company didn’t raise as much money as it had hoped, despite its efforts. Over the past few years, Panico has donated skin creams to families that frequent hospitals and helped one child and his family attend a New York Mets baseball game. Panico’s nephew Tom McGuire added that his uncle also tries to help his family and friends. During the gala, Mariano said Panico “is the kindest most generous father, husband and friend to all.” Mariano added that the organization was proud to acknowledge Panico at the event. While the gala was a means to highlight people like Panico, it also helps Friends of Karen raise awareness and money to further its mission. In the organization’s 37 years, it’s helped around 5,500 sick children and their families. Panico said the organization works hard to achieve its goal and even continued his own effort to help the organization during his honoree speech. “If you are able to donate — if you’re able to buy raffle tickets, if you’re able to [participate] in the silent auctions, that would be fantastic,” Panico said during the gala. “If you can’t … tell your friends, spread the word.”4

whether in high school, college or adulthood. “It’s just very relatable because it’s a story about relationships,” Boughton said. “It’s about coming of age and figuring out who you are and what you want to do with your life.” Boughton plays Laila, a pretentious advisor for the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. While Boughton is a member of the sorority in real life, that’s not the only thing that attracted her to the film. She and the cast agree that Cain’s script has natural dialogue, making the interaction between characters realistic. “You know she comes from a theater background,” actor Jake Thomas said. “It’s a very long script, but it does flow very quickly because the dialogue just jumps from one thing to another.” Like many of the cast, Thomas is no stranger to the stage. As a kid, he played alongside Hilary Duff as Lizzie McGuire’s little brother Matt on the 2001 Disney television series of the same name. Thomas is making an appearance in Cain’s film as Dave, the main character’s ex-boyfriend. Snyder, who played Ethan Craft on the same Disney Channel show, recommended the production to Thomas. Cain wrote the story in three days, when she was a 19-year-old George Washington University student. The idea came about after she woke up at a friend’s place after attending a party the night before. Cain was sick during the party and took Nyquil before attending, and her friend allowed her to stay overnight after alcohol spilled on Cain and soaked her clothing. She woke up to the smell of bacon but couldn’t immediately remember where she was. “I started thinking to myself, ‘What if there was someone in bed with me and I woke up? How would I have reacted?’” Cain recalled. The writer and director performed her story at her university’s theater, acting as Sarah. Two decades later, this past April, Cain found the script in her basement. “Everyone who’s been in a relationship knows that breakups suck,” Kermes said. “They’re hard especially in college when you start thinking about your future.” Big name stars like Amber Rose and WWE wrestler David Otunga, who’s engaged to singer Jennifer Hudson, will also appear in the film, which hits theaters next year. Otunga heard about the film through his agent and took on the role of Tiny, a large bartender who comes to the rescue of Sarah’s friend Mindy, played by Diana Durango. “I’m really happy to be able to support independent films,” Otunga said. “I feel like these are so much fun because it’s truly about the art. It’s not super-huge budgets and everything, but we make it work and make such an awesome looking project and it’s really cool to be a part of that.”

HISTORY
Marshall built up Army By Rich AcRitelli
It was 74 years ago that the Japanese attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor, spurring the nation’s entry into World War II. At the helm of the American military on that deadly day was Gen. George C. Marshall, and it was up to this outspoken man to take a military of 175,000 — which was ranked 17th out of all the industrialized powers — and turn the troops into a tremendous force of 10.4 million to defeat Germany and Japan. From the moment he entered the Army in 1902, Marshall excelled at every task assigned to him. Unlike many of the West Point officers he commanded during World War II, he graduated from the Virginia Military Institute. His peers thought Marshall’s quiet and firm manner suited him for vital positions of military responsibility, and he held several different jobs in the Army, served in the Philippines and graduated first
from the Army staff college in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. During the United States’ earliest moments in France in World War I, Marshall had a famous encounter with American Expeditionary Forces Commander Gen. John J. Pershing. When, upon finding the Army was not prepared for the burden of warfare on the Western Front, Pershing criticized his officers for not doing enough training, Marshall told Pershing that he did not understand the problems his soldiers faced daily and they were doing the best that could be expected of them. At first, Marshall believed he’d be sent home in disgrace; instead Pershing respected his honesty and clarity and eventually made him a main planner of American war operations against the Germans. Years later, in the late 1930s, Marshall showed his leadership again when he sat in on a meeting with then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt and influential members of both his
‘We must have the very best leadership we can possibly give these men and we’ve stopped at nothing to produce that leadership.’ — Gen. GeorGe C. Marshall, World War II arMy ChIef of staff
cabinet and the military. When Roosevelt outlined a plan of adding planes to the Army Air Forces but virtually no other resources to the Army, all of the leaders remained quiet or supported the president. Marshall, on the other hand, angered Roosevelt by vehemently disagreeing with him. But a year later, Marshall, who was a junior to many other officers, was promoted to Army chief of staff. Knowing war was a young man’s game, Marshall reassigned, fired or retired older officers who he knew were not able to fight a modern war. One of his most important choices was making one lieutenant colonel, Dwight D. Eisenhower, into an important member of his staff. While he never directly served with this officer, he was constantly informed that Eisenhower was one of the most well-rounded leaders in the military. He saw Eisenhower as a capable officer only interested in completing his duty. Marshall also elevated Gen. Omar N. Bradley to command the ground forces in Europe from D-Day to Germany’s surrender in 1945. It was Marshall’s manner not to dwell on the per-
Gen. George c. Marshall
sonal characteristics of his key leaders. This was the case with the erratic but brilliant combat fighter Gen. George S. Patton. Marshall stood by Patton throughout some of his troubles due to the strong belief that Patton would continually earn battlefield victories against the enemy. From the time he became Army chief of staff, Marshall was determined to prepare his nation for the rigors of war. He drafted, trained, equipped and oversaw the total war efforts of the United States to defeat fascism, conducting all of those

efforts in a professional manner, not seeking any credit for his massive contributions in the defense of his country. Marshall should be credited, however, with establishing a new army, command structure and strategy to conduct military operations against Germany and Japan. In a short period of time, he helped the United States attain a victory in an important war. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

Centereach Cougars return core starters Girls’ BasketBall Preview By BiLL LAndon
File photos by Bill Landon

The 2015-16 season holds promise for the Centereach girls’ basketball team as most of last year’s starters return to vie for a playoff appearance in League III action with a distinct advantage — having lost just one senior to graduation from last year’s squad. Unlike last year’s team, which went 4-11, the Cougars lineup features six seniors, three juniors and three sophomores, with 10 returning players. Head coach James Steigele Jr. said there is no one player who has emerged as a dominant leader this year, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. “With so many returning players, they have all stepped up into a leadership role, especially at their position,” he said, adding that he’ll still rely on seasoned senior co-captains Lauren Meigel, Nicole Fellone, Katrina Gangji, Erica Medina and Alyssa Sokolowski. To make the postseason, the coach told his team that the keys to success are communication, offensive ball control and holding their opponents to as few points as possible. “Communication might sound vague, but it touches on multiple facets of success,” Steigele said. “We’ll have to move the ball offensively and play a tough, hard-nose defense.”
The Cougars opened their season beating League I challenger Patchogue-Medford, 48-41, in the coaches for cancer game, and then fell to Elwood-John Glenn and Mount Sinai — all nonleague challengers. The head coach said he feels positive just three games into the season. “We were leading Glenn 19-3 after the first quarter,” he said. “They’re very competitive, well-coached and they are a consistent postseason team.” After the final game of last season, the lone departing senior, Alicia Indence, who plays women’s basketball at Mount Saint Mary’s College, predicted good things for
this years’ team. “With the talent this team has, I know they’ll do very well next season,” Indence said. Centereach will open regular season play on December 15 on the road against Smithtown East with tipoff slated for 4 p.m. According to the coach, Riverhead will be one of the team’s toughest opponents this year. He said he believes that the Blue Waves’ starting five is one of the best in the county. “You can’t take any team lightly in this league, “ Steigele said. “We need to get past every team in order to clinch a playoff berth.”
The Suffolk County Community College women’s cross country team was honored after claiming the school’s second national title this past season.

French on their successful season.” Councilman LaValle also honored Matt French, the head coach, for being named Women’s Cross Country Coach of the Year by U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
French, who is in his second year with Suffolk’s program, led the Sharks to the national title with 64 points, 23 ahead of the nearest runner-up. This was SCCC’s second national title and first since 2007.

OPINION Protect mute swans
EDITORIAL
The gift of caring
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the chaos of shopping for holiday gifts during the December rush. Most of us are trying to get in and out of stores and malls as quickly as possible, but staying a little bit longer could go a long way this holiday season if we all make an effort to buy just one more present. It doesn’t have to be a big one, like a video game console — although we’re sure nobody would mind that — but we could all buy just one more gift and donate it to a child in need through a local church or charity. There are kids whose parents simply cannot afford gifts, or live in domestic violence shelters, or don’t have parents at all. Those kids deserve a little happiness, too, to know that they are part of a community and that there are other people out there who care about them. We could also consider donating a gift to a hospital or a nursing home, where there could sometimes be people without family to remember them during the holidays. Many local schools raise money to donate toys to those who are less fortunate. The Students Against Drunk Driving club at Mount Sinai, for example, raised money for holiday Magic (631-265-7200), a not-for-profit organization that dedicates itself to making the holidays special for less fortunate children and their families. The club raised more than $7,000 and went shopping at Walmart and the Smith haven Mall to purchase gifts for 67 children. We, too, could look beyond ourselves and make our community better this holiday season. There are strangers all around us who need a friend. Let’s make a difference in one of their lives during the season of giving.

TO ThE EDITOR: We are appalled by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s veto, on Nov. 13, of two bills requesting a moratorium on the Department of Environmental Conservation’s plan for mute swan management. These bills had passed by overwhelming bipartisan majorities in both state chambers. Make no mistake about it: the DEC management plan for mute swans is lethal. The estimated 2,200 mute swans in New York State will be reduced to a mere 800. We commented extensively to the DEC, to the governor’s office and to Audubon New York for the last two years, itemizing deficiencies and discrepancies in both the original and revised plans. The DEC failed on every count to answer our questions. Among other items, we cited a lack of scientific evidence, inconsistencies in stated goals, outdated population counts, bias in decision-making and problematic management schemes. One of the glaring problems in the DEC management plan is that all adult mute swans must be under municipal or private management, yet the plan fails to provide jurisdiction of swans living along the tidal coastlines of either Long Island or the NYC metropolitan areas. how will these swans, which swim across municipal lines, be claimed for management? Or will this point be moot, as they will be among the 1,200 shot? After all, these swans are not contained in parks and lakes. As for the others? Groups or private individuals will have to come forward and apply to DEC to manage them. how will the public react, however, when they realize that requires wing-clipping? The only adult mute swans we get to view will be

maimed, through surgical removal of at least one of their wings. Imagine observing a maimed swan attempting to fly with half a wing. What message does this form of animal cruelty send to our impressionable children? In addition, all eggs will be addled [shaken], or oiled, so there will be no more young swans in any location. What a lost opportunity to provide this easily observable window into the natural world. By vetoing the moratorium bills, Gov. Cuomo ignored his learned legislators, including state Sen. Ken LaValle and Assemblyman Steve
Englebright, chair of the assembly’s Committee on Environmental Conservation, both of whom voted in favor of a moratorium. Instead, Gov. Cuomo bowed to the pressure of a few upstate individuals with an agenda of removing mute swans to make room for northern species of trumpeter and tundra swans, both of which are non-nesters in NYS. These two species are considered trophy birds when hunted, and we predict they will soon be on the DEC’s seasonal list of hunted waterfowl.

Code for success
I believe the Port Jeff Code Enforcement Bureau officers deserve to be singled out and acknowledged for their professional service during the festival. Their law enforcement background became very apparent as they worked long hours directing traffic and doing their part to make sure the thousands of visitors who came to Port Jeff were safe and enjoyed the festival. As a Port Jeff merchant I would like to thank code enforcement for a job well done. Ken Veale Port Jeff Motorcycle
TO ThE EDITOR: Last weekend the weather was perfect and the sun really shined on the 20th anniversary Charles Dickens Festival. By any measure, the festival was a big success. Much credit must be given to Mayor Margot Garant, the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, Port Jefferson Village workers, The Greater Port JeffersonNorthern Brookhaven Arts Council and the many volunteers whose hard work made the festival a success.

Trying to see the good in all God’s children
D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
I
s there divine in all of us, or only in the people who share our religion? If your God, my God, anyone’s God, created the Earth and all the people, animals and planets on it, then does She want those who are true believers to annihilate and destroy the other people She created because they don’t believe in Her? What? You don’t think God could be female? That’s a topic
for another column. Recently, I read about a charitable act. At the end of the article, I saw that people were commenting about how that charity could only come from someone of their religion — I’m not going to indicate what religion it was. The commentors were convinced that it couldn’t have come from someone who followed a different religious discipline. Why? If there are elements to ourselves that are a combination of destroyers and builders, lovers and haters, sinners and saints, why should something extraordinary or even inspirational be limited to one religion? Couldn’t everyone’s God speak through or act through one person, regardless of his background or religion, to inspire others to greater heights, to do something incredibly beneficial to his or her fellow human beings without selecting only those people who go to the right building, speak the right language and follow the right
religious practices? Maybe we need to close our eyes to see the divine in everyone. Religion has this way of bringing out the best in us and, at times, the worst. We sometimes feel that we’ve received some message from a divine being who tells us that we must right the wrongs of people who are outside our religous group. Centuries after the Crusades, humans still resort to weapons to make our point with those who have other religious beliefs. I understand the fear, especially in an era when every politician with national aspirations describes a boogeyman (or woman). I also understand the reality that there are people bent on destroying us and that we can’t go naively into that good night, imagining we live in a utopian world where we can ignore threats. It’s real and it dominates the headlines every day. This isn’t about the extreme cases, where we have to be
vigilant against killers who, for whatever reason, feel they are doing something important in their lives by killing others before dying. That doesn’t seem like much of a way to honor anyone’s God. This is about the way we relate to each other and the way we think of religious groups outside our own. Why should something spectacular or incredible have to originate from the mind or heart of someone from our religion? Turning this around, do you like everyone in your church, temple or mosque? Do you routinely sit during services and feel a universal kindred spirit with everyone in that room that you don’t feel with the people in your child’s classroom at school, at your daughter’s ballet recital or at a concert where the music seems to echo around the room long after our kids have stopped strumming? Would you randomly pick a name out of the hat at your
Do you like everyone in your church, temple or mosque?
house of worship and be equally thrilled to host any of those people in your home for a week, a night or even a long dinner? Religion can offer us a chance to see and imagine that the best is yet to come in anyone around us. We don’t have to give up our own religion and it doesn’t lessen our religion to believe that something spectacular lies just beneath the surface of another person passing by us, even if that person doesn’t share our religion. If we are all God’s children, wouldn’t She (or He) want us to put more effort into getting along with our siblings?

Delightful seasonal and cultural events to savor
between you and me by leah S. DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
T
his past weekend started for me with a stellar performance, as usual, by the Emerson String Quartet at the Staller Center on the Stony Brook University campus. This marvelous string ensemble comes to us directly from Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center or at any given time, from other musical capitals in the world. They are, incredibly for us, in residence at Stony Brook and as part of the deal struck with SBU past president, Shirley Kenny, they give four performances a year here. The quartet features Eugene
Drucker and Philip Setzer, who alternate at first and second violin, Lawrence Dutton on the viola, and now Paul Watkins, who replaced David Finckel in 2013, playing the cello. The original group formed when they were students at Juilliard, then turned professional in 1976, and in the course of their career they have released more than 30 albums and won nine Grammys along with the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize. They were inducted into the Classical Music Hall of Fame in 2010. Friday night, they played two selections by Haydn and two by Beethoven. Attending their concerts is made even more delightful for not having to drive more than a few minutes from door to door and being assured of convenient and free parking upon arrival. The audience routinely gives them a standing ovation. Moving onto the next day, three friends and I joined up to view the 37th annual Candlelight House Tour, traditionally held on Friday evenings and Saturday daytimes, and made possible as a fundraiser by the hard work of the Three Village Historical Society.

take care of the myriad of details from selecting to decorating the homes, along with professional help made possible by local contributions. Each year homeowners graciously allow hundreds of visitors to traipse through their rooms, checking out the decor and listening to the history explained many times over during the day by society members and helpers. This year the homes were centered in Old Stony Brook, and the weather cooperated magnificently. Many of us well remember in past years waiting in line to enter the homes in subfreezing, or snowy, or rainy or sharply windy days. Sunny Saturday was a Goldilocks day for touring: not too cold, not too hot, just right. And if house tours are your thing, the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce has worked hard to organize the Lantern Light House Tour, this year centered in Harbor Hills. Also a fundraiser, the event is scheduled for this Saturday, Dec. 12, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Like the one in Three Village, the tour is very much a community effort with generous contributions of time and financial backing.

As if this weren’t enough activity for a satisfying weekend, we enjoyed the lighting of the splendid Christmas tree on the Stony Brook Village Green, sponsored as usual, by The Ward Melville Heritage Organization Sunday night. WMHO has been happily celebrating its 75th anniversary throughout this past year. On Jan. 19, there will be a special anniversary commemoration of the night Ward Melville hosted a dinner at the Three Village Inn for the owners of the sundry shops and unveiled his plans for the first shopping mall in America, a crescent village on the hill overlooking Stony Brook Harbor. After much good food and drink, the shop owners agreed to join the effort. The result was the picturesque Stony Brook Village Center, designed by architect Richard Haviland Smythe that we enjoy now, three quarters of a century later. The ongoing vibrancy of the village was further illustrated by the ribbon-cutting party later that evening at the site of the latest business to join the Stony Brook shopping center. Blue Salon & Spa, formerly Legends, welcomed

guests, who devoured delicious hors d’oeuvres provided by owner, Cathy Hansen, in her newly renovated salon. It was a symbolic end to the evening’s festivities. Meanwhile in the other direction, Port Jefferson Village offered the Dickens festival last Saturday and Sunday for the 20th year. Originally the brainchild of former mayor, Jeanne Garant, churches, schools, the theater, stores and restaurants all joined together to transform the village into a Dickensian wonderland, replete with 19th century characters walking the streets and engaging the public. (And throughout December you may stop at Santa’s Workshop, a brilliant creation of the talented Pat Darling.) Encouraged by the wonderful weather, visitors came out in droves to the festival, putting Port Jefferson on the map as the glorious destination village that it is.
