Nesconset residents up in arms over proposed Dunkin’ Donuts Nesconset residents fear construction of a proposed Dunkin’ Donuts on Route 347 could disrupt their neighborhood.

A small group of Nesconset residents spoke out against developer Browns & 347, LLC who has requested a change of zone to the 2.5-acre property on the corner of Route 347 and Browns Road from R-15 Residential Single Family to Whole Sale Service Industry at a Smithtown Town board meeting Sept. 20.

The developer has proposed plans to construct a 12,450-square-foot, two-story office building and a Dunkin’ Donuts on the wooded lot, according to attorney Vincent Trimarco Sr. Nesconset residents are decrying the plans saying it will negatively affect property values and increase traffic near Sprofera Park.

For Browns Road resident Linda Costa, whose home is adjacent to the proposed project, the developer’s plans are particularly alarming.

The plans for the proposed project will create additional parking spaces on two sides of her property.

“Now your adding more parking behind my house — I have parking next to my house and

Nesconset resident Linda Costa speaks out against the proposed Dunkin’ Donuts before Smithtown town board.

across the street from my house,” Costa said. “I feel like I’m living in a parking lot.”

Costa and other residents fear a zone change would hurt their ability to sell their homes in the future, especially if they wished to break away

from this new commercial development.

“I would probably try to sell my home before the development goes through, but I would have to be completely honest with that person beforehand that the zoning changed,” Costa said. “It

would be much harder to sell.”

The proposed development was previously denied by the town’s planning board in May 2017, due to traffic complaints caused by an entranceway off Browns Road, according to Trimarco. The new site plan would limit access to two driveways on Route 347, and include a 30-foot barrier of greenery along Browns Road to disguise the property from the residential street.

In addition, the applicants have agreed to provide 22 parking spaces along the eastern end of the property to the town for municipal purposes and access to Sprofera Park.

Maureen O’Connor, who lives across from the proposed project, said she feared traffic would increase if cars wanted to come down Browns Road to get to the new Dunkin’ Donuts.

The problem is exacerbated with kids crossing the street to get to Sprofera Park and a school bus stop that is situated along Browns Road.

“The traffic pattern already around this busy intersection would not only increase, but would increase the disruption in the flow of traffic as cars attempt to enter or exit onto this business on [Route] 347,” O’Connor said.

When residents questioned why developers wouldn’t create more single-family homes DUNKIN’ DONUTS continued on A6

Chic-fil-A to move into Hauppauge, Hot Bagels out

Attorney Al Amato, representing Chic-fil-A, presents the restaurant chain’s plans for its Hauppauge location.

“I got a year and half more out of it than I originally thought I would, so God is good,” Ahr said.

The location houses two shopping centers, both of which are independently owned. Those stores in the building directly opposite the impending Chic-fil-A fear what could happen once construction begins.

“It’s going to kill my business, or at least hurt my business with all the construction going on,” said Tony Barbato, the owner of Ciro’s Pizza

located at 550 Route 347. “I think the chicken shop coming in is the stupidest thing ever.

Everybody in that shopping center was pretty successful, but then they threw everybody out so they could send more money to [a national corporation] instead of keeping it local.”

In February 2018, the Ahr family opened up a second location along Hauppauge Road in Smithtown, a little less than two miles from their original storefront. Even though Ahr and

her family appreciate that many of their loyal customers will still be sticking around, their old location is where the family holds many of their fondest memories.

“It will be a very sad thing when the store goes because as much as people love the new location its still not the store that we all grew up in; my customers, me, my kids, my customers kids,” she said.

The approved Chick-fil-A site plans call for a reconfiguration of the parking lot surrounding both current shopping centers to allow for drivethru access and additional spaces.

Al Amato, founder of the Garden City-based Amato Law Group, PLLC, who is representing Chic-fil-A, attended the Sept. 20 meeting and said both locations would provide an adequate amount of parking individually, and that the new property would not block access to the other shopping center. Neither Amato nor a representative of Chic-fil-A were available to say when demolition on the old structure and construction of the new restaurant will begin.

In the meantime, Bagel Gallery is the last store in that shopping center that remains open.

Ahr said she has been notified a tentative date to move out is Nov.10. She said she hopes to host a going away party for their old shop before they have to close for good.

“When I do have the exact date I want to do [something] special,” Ahr said. “They will tear it down in front of our eyes, and we’re all going to cry.”

RITA J. EGAN

Chic-fil-A is finally coming to Hauppauge, though the last store operating where the corporate company intends to build doesn’t see much of a reason to celebrate.

“We knew it was going to happen, but of course it’s very sad because we’ve been there for over 30 years,” said Donna Ahr, matriarch of the family-run Bagel Gallery Inc., locally known as Hot Bagels in Hauppauge and Smithtown.

The bagel shop is the last store that remains open in the doomed shopping plaza.

The Town of Smithtown town council conditionally approved the site plan for the restaurant chain to demolish the existing 15,743-squarefoot shopping center at the corner of Route 347 and Route 111 in Hauppauge to make room for a 4,650-square-foot counter-service restaurant.

The round-the-clock open bagel shop has endured in that location since 1980, owned and operated by the Ahr family since 1985. In 2016, local residents got wind that Chic-fil-A was intending to tear down the shopping center where Hot Bagels was located to put in one of its restaurants. In the months that followed, close to 5,000 people signed a Change.org petition to try and keep Hot Bagels around. Though the fastfood chain won its petition for a zoning change two years ago to create a drive-thru, the restaurant’s site plans were only approved this month.

Suffolk police are looking for the public’s help to identify the above-pictured woman, who allegedly stole goods from a Lake Grove store.

Trimarco said.

Nesconset resident Salvatore Vitale, a homeowner on Michael Place overlooking the park, said he fears a new parking lot and a Dunkin’ Donuts could lead to more loitering and vagrancy.

“Every few nights there’s a police car parked [in the Sprofera Park parking lot] to make sure there’s no transients or loitering,” Vitale said.

“Now you put a building there, and those parking areas will need three police cars every night.”

Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) did not give a date as to when the town will make a decision.

The study would examine how much faster trains on the North Shore line would reach Penn Station in Manhattan with electrification from Port Jeff and select a new railroad yard to house the electric trains, among other logistical particulars.

Currently, the LIRR yard is off Hallock Avenue in Port Jefferson, though several officials have indicated electrification would require the relocation of that yard and the Port Jeff train station. The former site of Lawrence Aviation Industries has been suggested as a possible new yard and train station.

Wehrheim (R) sent a joint letter to the New York State Legislature’s Long Island delegation to express their support for the feasibility study due to potential economic and environmental benefits.

They cited that the Port Jefferson and Huntington branch lines have the highest ridership, about 18.7 million annually, of any line in the LIRR service territory, according to the LIRR Annual Ridership Report for 2015. Figliola said his coalition had lobbied for the support of the three supervisors.

“I think it has legs,” state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said of electrification. “It’s such a good idea that I think it should happen.”

The feasibility of electrifying the Port Jefferson Long Island Rail Road line to Huntington could soon be examined.

An idea decades in the making could take a major step forward by the end of 2018.

It still may be years before electrification happens, if it ever happens at all, but momentum is building toward funding being secured for a study determining the feasibility of electrifying the Long Island Rail Road on the Port Jefferson line from Huntington to the stations east by the end of this year.

Mitchell Pally, the Suffolk County representative on the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s board of trustees, said the LIRR has already appropriated funds to support the study, adding that state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) has also succeeded in appropriating state funds toward the plan.

“The support of the communities involved is essential to making this work,” Pally said in an interview. “The rail road is very supportive.”

Community support for exploring the possibility of electrifying the line, which currently allows trains to run on diesel fuel east of Huntington, has been building in recent years, although the idea has been on the radar for North Shore residents at least as far back as the 1980s.

Anthony Figliola, an East Setauket resident,

former Brookhaven Town deputy supervisor and vice president of Empire Government Strategies, a company that provides strategic counsel on governmental relations and practices to municipalities, has been leading a community coalition advocating for a feasibility study for about the last year, he said. The group, which Figliola said has been informally calling itself the North Shore Business Alliance, has been lobbying elected officials and community organizations like civic associations and chambers of commerce throughout the relevant territories in an effort to build public support for and attention on the idea. Figliola said he hopes the funding for a study will be in place by the end of the year. The study is expected to cost approximately $12 million, he said.

“It’s ripe, the community wants it,” Figliola said. “We’re very grateful for all that Mitch is doing to advocate on behalf of this.”

Figliola identified Charlie Lefkowitz, vice president of the Three Village Chamber of Commerce and real estate developer, as one of the other community members leading the charge for electrification.

“It’s a long time coming,” Lefkowitz said of progress on the feasibility study. “It was a collaborative effort on many fronts. The direct beneficiaries of it will be the communities.”

volunteers then primed and sealed the new roofs to make them waterproof.

“I wish there was more that we could do,” Mueller said “But I think that the main goal for the organization, while we were there, was to make it livable at that point. Because they couldn’t even live in the houses because every time it rained water was pouring through the ceiling.”

Mueller said she also helped to clean out one man’s bedroom that was unlivable after water damage from the storm. The room had mold and bugs, and his bed, clothes and other items needed to be thrown out.

VanderWaag said the homeowners he met didn’t have a lot of money so whenever there was a leak they would go to the hardware store for a quick fix to patch the roof. When the students weren’t working, he said they would talk to community members about the hurricane’s devastation and the response from the U.S. “They are a mixture of upset, angry and feeling just almost betrayed,” he said.

VanderWaag said he’ll always remember how appreciative the homeowners were and how one woman cried after they were done. Her husband who was in his 70s would try his best to fix the leaks by carrying bags of concrete up a ladder and patching the leaks.

“It was a huge burden lifted off their shoulders,” VanderWaag said.

Mueller said one family cooked lunch for her group and others working on the house next door every day. She said the students had time to sightsee, and when one tour guide heard what they were doing, he offered to take them on a free tour of the south side of the island. Both she and VanderWaag also visited Old San Juan and saw historic military forts during their trips.

“It really was a life-changing experience,” Mueller said. “Even the people I met from

Pascale Jones, SBU international programs director, joined students for a week to help out.

She said when she saw the students in action, she was amazed at how much they already knew about construction and found the whole experience to be humbling.

Originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Jones said she is used to seeing a certain level of devastation but was surprised to see the state of some of the homes.

“It’s Puerto Rico and these are U.S. citizens,” Jones said. “So, I did not expect this devastation so long after the hurricane’s passing. To think, U.S. citizens are living in a way that I would almost equate to a third world country.”

Raising chickens

Students at St. James Elementary School in the Smithtown school district are engaged in an outdoor, hands-on learning experience thanks to a new chicken coop and three chickens purchased by the school’s Parent Teacher Association. The coop is housed in an enclosed courtyard area that has floor to ceiling glass walls, so the chickens can be observed at all times.

The outdoor learning space will be used for the study and care of the chickens. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade will participate in observing, learning about and caring for the chickens. They will also collect

more than $31 million.

“We hope this outdoor learning experience will help serve as a concrete example of the life cycle, a closer connection to our food (eggs) and the important role students will have in caring for animals,” Principal MaryGrace Lynch said.

The chickens have been named for the three character traits the school will highlight throughout the year: Aretha after Aretha Franklin for respect, Teresa after Mother Teresa for compassion, and Mickey after the late U.S. sen.

Clad in red, white and blue, students worked with their classroom teachers to set up a list of their class rules. After penning their rules for the year, each member of the class signed their names to uphold their

constitution throughout the school year. The school’s computer lab was decorated and used as a meeting place for the constitution signing. The rules and signatures will be prominently displayed in each classroom.

Cross-country team works to combat hunger The members of the Smithtown Central School District’s boys cross-country team were willing to get their hands dirty to help alleviate hunger across Long Island.

Team members recently volunteered their time at Island Harvest’s farm in Brentwood.

Joined by coaches Peter Schieck and Mark Jackett, the boys learned about Island Harvest from staff member Hillary Hess. The team helped pull weeds in between the rows of vegetables

and harvested some zucchini and eggplant.

Island Harvest is the largest hunger relief organization on Long Island, with a location in Hauppauge. It serves more than 300,000 Long Islanders annually, including adults, children, families, seniors and veterans, through its network of approximately 570 food pantries, soup kitchens and other emergency programs.

Picking up speed

Republicans in Congressional District 1 have much to consider with their votes in the November midterm elections.

George Will in The Washington Post is encouraging Republicans to work to ensure that President Trump does not win the 2020 nomination; he is leaving the Republican Party, at least for now. This week, Republican commentator Bill Kristol, who has called Trump “disgraceful,” announced he is building a “war machine … to prepare for a primary run against Trump” and has been talking with potential candidates.

Meanwhile, Steve Schmidt, Will and other Republican pundits have urged Republicans to help flip the House to the Democrats in the midterms to put a check on this irrational presidency.

If you’re a Republican concerned that flipping the House will bring about

Editorial

Most passengers on the Long Island Rail Road probably have one wish — to get to their destination quicker. This desire has been uttered for decades on the Port Jefferson line where commuters headed to the Big Apple or Nassau County need to change trains since tracks are only electrified west of Huntington, with diesel fuel powering all trains east.

While we’re more optimistic than ever that the wish may be granted, we must admit we’re only cautiously optimistic.

While the Long Island trains may never reach speeds of those in Japan, China and France, which travel at more than 200 mph, officials and community members are working harder than ever toward the goal of electrification. Both the Metropolitan Transit Authority and state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) have appropriated funds to support a study of the feasibility of electrifying the line, and a group of community members, informally called the North Shore Business Alliance, is advocating for the study by not only lobbying elected officials, but also presenting the benefits to civic associations and chambers of commerce along Suffolk County’s North Shore. There are a lot of people on board to move things forward.

Electrifying the rails means more than getting in and out of the city quicker, it also means living on Long Island and community would be more appealing. Hopefully, it would keep people here and draw more to the area. It would make commuting to work in the city easier, where salaries tend to be higher and opportunities more abundant. For those traveling east, it would decrease the time for traveling to Stony Brook University.

However, as we have said before, we are cautiously optimistic. While the study will look at how much faster trains can go, it will also look to see if electrification makes sense financially, something we Long Islanders need to understand. The winding nature of the Port Jeff line presents a set of logistical troubles as well. There is still a possibility electrification may not make economic sense, which stands to reason as it has been discussed for generations. In 2000, one study estimated it would cost $500 million to electrify the Port Jefferson line from Huntington to the end.

There’s also a change some communities may not welcome as they may foresee problems that might arise from faster trains, one being that many towns may not want more people living in their areas, citing traffic problems and perhaps more multihouse units being constructed or development.

But back to the positive side of the coin, faster trains may actually mean less cars on the road especially on the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway as more may find taking the train easier. There will also be those who now live on the North Shore who opt to take trains out of Ronkonkoma but now can head to the station closer to their home.

We may not know what the feasibility study will turn up but moving it forward will increase the odds of one day either riding a faster train or finally putting the dream to rest.

Republicans need to think about votes impeachment, that’s not the issue, even if warranted by the Mueller findings yet to be revealed. Even if impeachment proceedings were to start in the House, it would take the unlikely defection of 16 Republican senators to impeach.

In his 2006 autobiography, James A. Baker III, then running President George H.W. Bush’s re-election campaign, commented, “The complaint that character should be off-limits in a campaign for the American presidency is both absurd and not historical. What could be more important?” Baker saw an important distinction in his candidate, a “war hero, family man, successful businessman, veteran public servant [who] had a hard-won reputation as an honorable man, even among most Democrats.”

Yes, character matters. Donald Trump

is not officially on the ballot this midterm, but he will be listed in the proxy name of Rep. Lee Zeldin, his staunch acolyte.

This midterm election is the opportunity for everyday Republicans to make an important statement about this dysfunctional, immoral presidency. Zeldin unequivocally supports Trump, and Zeldin is supported by both Trump and Bannon.

Zeldin’s blind loyalty to Trump should not be rewarded. Zeldin’s support for Trump feeds a dangerous presidency, characterized by destructive behavior and habitual lying. Every week brings new evidence of Trump’s character flaws and inability to manage the executive branch.

Republicans in CD1 can make a difference. It’s up to you to make it happen.

The central pillar of our legal system Forget about hot-button legal issues such as judicial activism vs. original intent.

A bedrock principle of our nation and system of justice is that an accused must be confronted by his or her accuser. I think this is a cornerstone of the concept of “due process,” a cherished right guaranteed to all in our democratic republic. However difficult this might sometimes be, the burden is upon the accuser — or if a crime has been committed, the prosecution — to prove a charge or crime. We have afforded this right to the most despicable individuals accused of even the most heinous crimes.

This is perhaps the central pillar of our legal system: A person is innocent until proven guilty, not guilty — or possibly guilty until proven innocent. Its importance cannot be overstated. Indeed, it is almost a trademark of authoritarian (or fascist

or tyrannical) legal systems that persons accused of crimes (or deed or thought) are required to prove their innocence. Examples that demonstrate the dangers of the “guilty until proven innocent” approach can be seen in the use of show trials by Stalin in 1930s Soviet Union (to complete its transformation into a totalitarian dictatorship) or by some of the excesses of the House Un-American Activities Committee in early Cold War USA: charges — sometimes incomplete — could be made (even by unnamed or unidentified sources), and accused individuals would be required to “prove” their innocence. In the McCarthy era some individuals who could not or would not demonstrate their innocence (sometimes of “crimes” based on the political cause du jour) had their careers and livelihoods terminated. Possibly the

most reprehensible examples of this in U.S. history are found in the 20th-century treatment of African-American men accused or suspected of sex crimes and acts involving white women. “Reprehensible” is hardly a strong enough word. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of black men were lynched or murdered, often publicly. When we hear statements that begin with “The charge itself” or “Such an accusation alone” should convict anyone of or disqualify anyone from anything, it is time to pause and reflect.

In some instances, the burden on the accuser, who is often the victim, to confront the accused can be difficult and even traumatic. We cannot and must not abandon or suspend this basic tenet of our justice system. Period.

A poorly engineered economy Many companies are making huge profits by paying their employees wages that are so inadequate that some of them need public assistance just to get by.

Today, thousands of workers rely on food stamps, Medicaid and public assistance because they can’t survive on the wages they receive. Meanwhile, 82 percent

of the world’s wealth created last year went to 1 percent of the population. How silly is that?

And who pays for the public assistance subsidizing this flow of wealth? We do.

The middle class subsidizes the wealthiest companies in the country, while workers struggle to put food on the table. That’s

what an engineered economy looks like. In my view, it’s ridiculous and needs to end.

Pay your workers a living wage or pay the public its money back. It’s really simple: If a worker needs $500 in food stamps, you owe us $500.

Diving with equal opportunity into our first Charlotte block party

A

fter living in our new house in Charlotte, North Carolina, for a few weeks, we were delighted to receive an invitation to a block party to meet our neighbors.

Up to that point, we’d only seen and spoken with one neighbor. She and her family welcomed us to the area, offered an air-conditioning reference and shared the garbage pickup D. None schedule. of the above The morning

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF of the upcoming gathering, my wife and I took a walk through the neighborhood.

We admired the landscaping and architecture of nearby homes. We moved off the sidewalk as runners passed us. We trotted up one lawn

to clear space for a biker whose steering wheel seemed to be pulling left and right.

Most of the people in cars waved as they passed, a regular occurrence here, even when they didn’t know us.

My wife believes I alert the canines in the area that I am a “dog person.” A golden retriever and a black Labrador spotted me from across the street and stared, causing their owner to stop and wait as they watched us disappear up the block.

A friendly man with a small dog stopped and chatted. He asked if we were residents and if we were attending the block party that evening.

When we told him we moved here with our kids, he asked what brought us down.

“Work,” we said.

“Oh,” he said, turning to me. “Did you get a job with one of the banks?”

“No, my wife did,” I replied, directing his attention to her.

He was embarrassed and immediately apologized for assuming I had landed a job that required us to relocate. We reassured him it was fine and we kept walking.

I am proud of my wife and her professional accomplishments. I also recognize, even in a world where people regularly discuss equal opportunity, that we are still far from situations in which people can’t assume anything about the roles husbands and wives play when they meet a couple.

Later that evening, with our children in tow, we walked the few blocks to the party, waving politely at a man who almost certainly carried a beer the same way 20 years ago when he was in college, although his clothing, like ours, was probably a few sizes smaller. Maybe that’s an unfair assumption, too?

When we arrived on a tree-lined cul-de-sac, we noticed that most of the children were considerably younger than our pair, who snarled about an early exit.

After urging them to stay, we made some selections in the crowd and broke the social ice. Consistent with our experience since our arrival, we found people who came originally from Long Island, New York and New Jersey.

We chatted with a proud father, who pointed

to his high school senior and proclaimed her the best athlete in her entire school.

“You must be in public relations,” I said.

He and his daughter laughed.

“That guy over there,” he said, pointing to a house.

“Yes?” I replied.

“He is a neurosurgeon who works with football players. His attends games and he does concussion protocol.”

“Really?” I asked.

“The players are supposed to say ‘spaghetti’ when they see him after a hard hit. They get hit so hard that they say things like ‘ham’ or ‘bologna’ because they can’t remember the first concussion word,” he offered.

Our children, despite their initial disappointment, found contemporaries that night and are cellphone buddies with the kids on the block.

We received restaurant recommendations and local service provider referrals, while we also will recognize a few of the people who exchange pleasant waves on and off the block.

No quarrels with Canada in Quebec and Montreal

Q

uébec City seems like a delightfully European-styled destination that is only a nine-hour drive from here.

Montreal, officially Montréal, is even closer, only six hours or so. The old cities there are filled with beautiful stone buildings that speak of some five centuries of North American history, a unique culture that is a French-CanaBetween dian and English you and me mix, lively street

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF scenes and shops, museums, sports and scrumptious restaurant food.

I can attest to all that because I attended a press convention that was held in Canada this fall, and a friend and I drove there and back.

By the way, the road trip is a scenic joy as we traveled along the Molly Stark Trail amid the Green Mountains through Vermont and back on the Adirondack Northway. The only way it could have been better is if the leaves had been turning. As it was, the trees were at their lushest, the highways were clear and the weather was perfect — in the 70s with low humidity and azure blue sky.

I was thrilled that the local residents could understand my French and even more so that I could understand theirs. I haven’t tried to speak French since I was last in Paris, a while ago. I discovered that the French Canadians speak more slowly than the Parisians generally, so communication of at least a rudimentary nature was mildly possible. I certainly understood how much they dislike President Trump, which they told us often enough after they discovered we were visiting Americans.

Quebec City, referred to that way to distinguish it from the larger Province of Quebec, is located both above and below cliffs that line the northern bank of the wide St. Lawrence River.

The Upper Town, home of the now-famous Château Frontenac, was where the elite among the early French settlers lived, including the clergy and government officials. Merchants and craftsmen lived in the Lower Town along the river. The strategic location of the city permitted the French to repel both British and American invaders for more than a century and enabled trade to flourish among New France until Wolfe and de Montcalm fought on the Plains of Abraham in 1759 and the British won. The Quebec Act of 1774 allowed the French to continue to speak French and to practice Catholicism, and by keeping the French satisfied probably kept them from joining the American Revolution. To this day, road signs are in French although children learn English from second grade on and are bilingual.

After a couple of days, we made the threehour drive to Montreal and the location of the convention, still enjoying glorious weather. I keep marveling at the weather, knowing that of the original 28 men who accompanied Samuel de Champlain from France in 1608, 20 died from the harsh first winter.

The Island of Montreal was considered, in the early days of settlement in the mid-17th century, to be only an outpost for fur trading. Over the centuries, however, it has become one of the world’s largest primarily French-speaking cities after Paris and the second largest city in Canada — only Toronto is larger. The Port of Montreal is one of the world’s major inland ports, served by the St. Lawrence Seaway. It is a city of skyscrapers, festivals and considerable diversity, and it too has marvelous restaurants, along with the cultural and entertainment offerings one would expect. I only got a short tour of Old Montreal and some time in the art museum, where there was a good exhibit on Picasso and African art, because in Montreal I had to work. I enjoyed the meetings and learned some things there that our newspapers will be telling you about in subsequent issues, also on our website.

Our return on Sunday afternoon took us an hour to cross the border compared with fewer than three minutes on the way into Quebec on a weekday. We left our northern neighbor, however, with a strong urge to revisit soon.
