Town Constructs Boardwalk to Harbor in East Setauket

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Three Village residents have a new way to enjoy and connect with nature.

The Town of Brookhaven recently constructed a 180-foot boardwalk that starts at East Setauket Pond Park, next to Se-Port Delicatessen, and ends with a viewing platform at Setauket Harbor. Laurie Vetere and George Hoffman, co-founders of the Setauket Harbor Task Force, said the boardwalk complements the group’s vision for the site.

“We always had a plan for the park,” Hoffman said. “We really think it’s a unique park that’s been neglected over the years.”

Vetere called the park its pet project.

“We can see the vision of it becoming a beautiful waterfront park right in the heart of downtown Setauket,” she said.

Hoffman and Vetere said the town plans to add benches to the viewing platform and switch out the current light posts to match the historic fixtures along Route 25A. The town is also currently waiting for a permit from the New York State Department of Conservation to cut down the phragmites that are currently slightly blocking the view at the platform.

The task force co-founders said a couple of months ago the town’s Parks & Recreation Department had a surplus of funds for park improvements around town, and Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) were able to secure $75,000 to be used for the Three Village park.

Vetere, said the Three Village Civic Association, of which she is 2nd vice president, is currently forming a committee to be chaired

by Herb Mones and Robert Reuter. She said the hope is to further the vision of the park including aspects such as adding plantings, play equipment for children and possibly moving the gazebo that is currently there to another spot in the park.

“The hope is just to make it more useful and get people invested in Setauket Harbor and the beauty of the harbor,” Vetere said.

Cartright said she was happy with the improvements.

“This is an important place in our community, and we want to increase and promote public access and use of the park,” she said. “We received community feedback about improvements that residents wanted to see at this location. Working off of that community

input, I was able to secure $75,000 funding for this project that started about two-and-a-half weeks ago and was completed [Oct. 15].”

In addition to the current work being done by the Town of Brookhaven, in 2016 state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) secured a $1 million grant for the town for East Setauket Pond Park. The funds, which became available at the end of 2018, will go toward removing

sediment from the retention pond at the park and implementing improvements to mitigate stormwater inputs into the harbor. The grant will also go toward repairing the dock at the Shore Road park along the harbor.

“We look forward to the completion of this project as it fits into the larger picture of preserving and protecting the area,” Cartright said.

SBU Interim President Bernstein Delivers First State of the University

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Michael Bernstein, interim president of Stony Brook University, delivered his first State of the University address at the Staller Center for the Arts Main Stage to a packed auditorium filled with faculty, staff, students and elected officials Oct. 16.

During the speech, which lasted about an hour, Bernstein touched on several topics including important university initiatives, key strategic commitments, enrollment growth, Stony Brook Medicine’s future, financial woes and successes and challenges in the future.

A key theme of the presentation was highlighting the school’s rich history, including attracting trailblazing pioneers over the years and providing world-class education.

“We strive to always evolve to meet the needs of our students,” Bernstein said.

The interim president touched on the university’s efforts in diversity.

Bernstein said he is committed to improve diversity on campus and in the SBU community.

The school in the past year has spent close to $1.7 million on diversity initiatives.

“We believe as scholars and educators that diversity generates optional results and better education that we can provide for our students,” the interim president said.

Similarly, Bernstein highlighted the university’s increase in admitted international students. He stressed the need to continue to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for them.

“We are an elite institution not an elitist institution — that is very much part of our

DNA here at Stony Brook,” he said.

On the economic side of things, Bernstein touted that SBU continues to be a vital contributor to Long Island.

SBU is the largest single-site employer on Long Island with more than 15,000 employees and has continued to be an economic driver in the local economy generating more than $7.2 billion.

Bernstein highlighted the accomplishments of Stony Brook Medicine.

He mentioned the expansion of the Stony Brook Medicine umbrella with new partnerships in Southampton that include the MART building in November and the Children’s Hospital in the Hospital Pavilion, which had a ribbon-cutting ceremony today. “[The hospital] will be the very best facility on Long island for pediatric care,” Bernstein said.

Reducing expenses and increasing revenue was an important topic brought up.

Bernstein said efforts have been made to streamline university operations and monitor hiring. Top budget priority areas for the 201920 school year are focused on student success, growth in research and faculty support.

Construction on new buildings and residence halls are underway as well as plans to address parking problems on campus.

“We know we have to address those issues,” he said. “We will get to a better outcome downstream and we salute you for your patience.”

The interim president also made sure to highlight the university’s four-year graduation rate. The rate for the class entering in 2015 has reached 64 percent, which signifies a 17-point increase over a six-year period.

Historian Provides Opportunity to Learn More About Tallmadge be, as I am at this time, “With every sentiment of respect & esteem, Your Excellency’s most Obed’t & very H’ble Serv’t, Benj Tallmadge.”

Tallmadge’s farewell to Washington was written from his home at 47 North St., Litchfield, Connecticut, Aug. 16, 1783.

BY BEVERLY C. TYLER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The end of the Revolutionary War brought dramatic change for Patriots and for Continental Army officers. Benjamin Tallmadge was at the center of events as Gen. George Washington met with his officers at Fraunces Tavern in New York prior to resigning his commission as commander in chief. Tallmadge also resigned his commission and began a new life as a citizen of Litchfield, Connecticut.

Just prior to the British withdrawal from New York City Nov. 25, 1783, Tallmadge, head of Washington’s Secret Service, received permission to go into the city to protect his spies following the Treaty of Paris on Sept. 3, 1783. A little earlier he wrote to Washington: “Should I not have the opportunity to pay my personal respects to your Excellency before you retire from the Army, give me leave at this time, with the warmest gratitude, to assure your Excellency that I shall ever entertain the liveliest sense of the many marks of attention which I have rec’d from your Excellency’s hands.

Whatever may have been the result, it gives

The Three Village Historical Society Presents The 25TH ANNUAL

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM This week marks 50 years since the Miracle Mets defeated the Baltimore Orioles in the 1969 World Series.

Mets great Ed Kranepool stopped by the Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook and met with the Stony Brook University baseball team.

The World Series champion gave the team some advice for the upcoming season as they undergo fall training.

“This is the time to work on your fundamentals,” Kranepool said. “If you’re a pinch hitter like I was the last couple of years of my career, get up there and be aggressive.

Try to get a hit. We all wish you guys good luck this season.”

Afterward, the team and Kranepool watched a replay of Game 3 of the ‘69 World Series. A pivotal game in the series, where the Mets legend blasted a homerun to help his team to victory.

A number of Mets fans showed up for a chance to get their memorabilia signed by Kranepool.

Linda Miller and her father Pete Grandazza

came to get their old programs and scorecards signed.

Miller said one of the reasons they came was because back in 1975 the whole Mets team signed autographs for her brother Michael and another child, who were very sick, at a hotel in Philadelphia.

“Bob Murphy, [the Mets announcer at the time] saw these two boys in wheelchairs and asked if there was anything he could do,” she said. “He got all the players to come over and gave them autographs. Ed Kranepool was one of them.”

Junior forward Summer Agostino broke the ice for the Ward Melville Patriots girls soccer team 21 minutes in, off an assist from Kate Ancona for a 1-0 lead against visiting Lindenhurst Oct. 10. Midway through the second half Jessica Tampori fed the ball to Katie Cosenza whose shot found its mark for the insurance goal as the Patriots blanked the Bulldogs, 2-0. Freshman goalie Elyse Munoz had three saves in net.

The Oct. 10 win lifted the Patriots to 7-3 in Division I. Ward Melville took to the field again when they hit the road Oct. 16 to take on Centereach. Results were not available at press time.

Elizabeth “Bette” Cohen Goldberg

Elizabeth “Bette” Cohen Goldberg, 86, died of complications from cancer Oct. 9 at the University of Minnesota Medical Center.

A woman of remarkable grace, charm and wit, boundless energy and exceptional taste, Bette impressed everyone she met with her extraordinary warmth and kindness.

Born and raised in Chicago, Bette was a 1954 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Michigan. She met Homer Goldberg, her late husband of 61 years, on a blind date. They were married in 1956, then spent a year immersed in

the art and culture of Italy. In 1961, they moved to Setauket where they lived for 50 years.

A lifelong lover of the arts with an impeccable sense of style, Bette served from 1976 to 1992 as director of Gallery North and later as president of its board of trustees. First opened in Setauket in 1965, the gallery displays and supports the work of local and nationally recognized artists working in all media. As director, Bette nurtured new and established artists, curated exhibitions, ran its popular annual Outdoor Art Show and led fundraising efforts. She was treasured by artists and patrons alike, and in 1986 she was named The Village Times Woman of the Year in the Arts.

After Bette and Homer moved to Minneapolis in 2010, she became an active member of the Loring Green East condominiums community, organizing a book club, an annual art show, exercise classes and serving on the design and social committees. A regular concert, theater and moviegoer, she remained dedicated to the arts, recently serving as a volunteer for the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Bette was also a gourmet cook, an impossibly fast walker and a master of the art of the consumer complaint letter. She never tired of food and wine with family and friends, travel and literature. “Cutes,” as her grandchildren called her, was beloved by all those who had the good fortune to know her.

Bette is survived by her daughter Emily and partner Chris; her son John and wife Julie; her

four grandsons Alex, Matt, Zach and Ben; her sister-in-law Lois, and her nieces and nephews Phil, Barbara, Terry and Beverly.

A memorial celebration is being planned for Sunday, Nov. 10. Contributions in Bette’s memory may be made to Planned Parenthood, the Minneapolis Institute of Art or The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

Editor’s note: The last two obituaries appeared in the Oct. 10 issue with incorrect photos. They are being republished with the correct images.

Ronald John Fitterer Ronald John Fitterer was born on May 31, 1935 in Mineola, New York.

He was one of five children born to Doris and Ernest Fitterer. He was affectionately called Ronnie by his siblings, Dolores, Alice, Richard and Barbara and the name stuck.

He graduated from Mineola High School in 1952 and shortly thereafter joined the military. He spent two years in the Navy and two years as a Navy Corpsman with the Marines.

It was his experience as a medic that led him to become a physical therapist after his discharge. He attended NYU and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy.

He married his first wife and they moved to Kings Park where they had three children, Robbin, Dianne and Eric. He opened up his own private practice in Smithtown, New York at 100 Maple Avenue and remained a physical therapist for over thirty five years.

In 1975 he married his second wife, Grace and they moved to Stony Brook with her four children, Donna, Steven, Glenn and Elena. Stony Brook was his home for the next seventeen years until his retirement from physical therapy in the late 1990s.

In 1998 Ron and Grace moved to Port Jefferson, New York where he began a life-long dream of running a bed and breakfast. The Golden Pineapple became the

“go to” destination for those wanting to experience the warmth and hospitality that Ron offered to his guests. It was at this point in his life that Ron was able to devote much of his time to volunteering in his new and beloved hometown of Port Jeff Village. He became a member of the Chamber of Commerce, with a desire to help new and existing businesses coming into the greater Port Jefferson area. He was a member of the Historical Society where one of his favorite pursuits was working to designate old homes in Port Jefferson as having historical significance, with designated plaques marking their important place in the history of the Village. He sat on the original committee that was formed to restore and preserve the old shipyard building on the harbor and worked to create the existing Port Jefferson Village Center and beautiful parkland that now is the hub of activity in Port Jefferson.

Ron’s last venture was to join his wife, Grace in real estate serving the community in a different way.

In 2013 Ron and Grace moved to the lovely town of Vero Beach, Florida, where he spent his time golfing, gardening, cooking and living out his retirement in the warm Florida sunshine. Ronald peacefully passed away on August 20, 2019 with his wife Grace and her two daughters by his side.

He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, and his stepchildren Donna Bernardini (husband Dennis), Steven Jacinto (wife Patrice), Glenn Jacinto (partner Pat Casarona) and Elena Jacinto.

Editorial Tale of two methods

It may be difficult sometimes for news consumers to decipher between a news article written by a journalist and a press release composed by a public relations practitioner, especially when the number of the latter outnumbers the former. In an era of websites and social media, press releases are plentiful and can be easily shared. So, readers should take heed.

No offense to those in the public relations field. These are the people who play a valuable role in working with journalists to alert them about interesting stories in their coverage areas and connect them with important people.

However, during times when newsrooms are short-staffed and websites make it easier to post items, many times press releases may appear as articles, though they adopt a public relations position that aims to promote rather than inform. For many news outlets, the luxury of using a press release as only a starting point and digging in deeper with their own reporting has become more and more difficult. And with one quick posting, a story presented by a PR person is shared as news.

When it comes to some short pieces — say about an upcoming career fair, what’s going on at the local library or what awards students or people have won — sharing a short press release isn’t a bad idea. When applicable and appropriate, these pieces can be a valuable tool, because journalists can’t be everywhere.

But when it comes to articles that take on controversial subjects, such as where taxpayer money goes, or where an elected official or political candidate stands, it would be wiser to look for the pieces written by a bona fide journalist. Why? Simply because a press release is written to present the stance of a person or institution, usually from a positive point of view. News articles written by journalists look to represent the various sides of an issue, and when it comes to hot button topics, to find the information that wasn’t revealed. This information is also vetted and double-checked.

It’s important for readers to pay attention to what they are reading. When it comes to contentious events, does the article include all sides? Does it cite documentation that verifies the stated facts? Does it show different points of view and include the names of people who chose not to comment? Be sure to look for multiple points of view from credible, authoritative people with firsthand knowledge of a situation, such as an eyewitness or an expert.

It can be difficult at times. There are those contacts who are inaccessible — some even hiding behind their public relations staff — and with short-staffed newsrooms, a well-written press release can be a big help. But when it comes to articles about contentious topics and important matters, make sure that article you’re about to quote at the dinner table or party or share on social media has been carefully constructed by someone who attends the meetings, makes the phone calls and asks the important questions.

Sharpen your skills when it comes to interpreting information.

The skill is essential at a point in time when the ways of democracy are being challenged.

Letters to the Editor

What Trump Supporters Believe In How thoughtful it was of William Schaefer to donate his valuable time to provide the readers of The Village Times Herald in the Sept. 26 edition with his gratuitous and erroneous analysis of the opinions and motives of the voters who elected President Donald Trump [R] in 2016 [“The mystery of Donald Trump’s loyal base”]. He kindly refrained from describing them as a “basket of deplorables,” as Hillary Clinton [D] did, and also refrained from commenting that he “could smell the Trump support” at “a Southern Virginia Walmart” to quote her FBI henchman, Peter Strzok, who was defrocked.

It would seem to be unlikely that Schaefer has actually spoken with any Trump supporters. This may be because most of them spend their time hanging out in the Centereach Walmart, a place which a person such as Schaefer might not commonly frequent. On the other hand, it may be that he is not interested.

Either way, I am fortunately not at Walmart at the present time, and it would

be my pleasure to provide some of the real reasons that 63 million Americans voted to elect Trump in 2016, and are likely to do so again in 2020.

They believe in the rule of law, including our immigration laws, and do not support those who favor open borders and sanctuary cities, i.e., Democrats. They respect every part of our Constitution, including the Second Amendment, which guarantees the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms, and they will vigorously oppose any effort by Democrats to confiscate our legally owned firearms, as some have promised to do. They are pleased with the results of Trump’s economic policies, which have led to record high levels of employment and the stock market, and record low levels of unemployment, particularly with regard to minorities.

They have no interest in the Green New Deal or other socialist policies promised by the multitudinous candidates of the Democratic Party. They particularly do not want reparations for the descendants

of slaves, nor do they want free singlepayer health care or free college tuition for illegal aliens. They recognize the great strides we have made in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, while at the same time achieving energy independence, largely as a result of advances in the technology of fracking.

They are not pleased with the efforts of Democrats to weaponize the forces of the federal government to overturn the 2016 election and subvert the will of the American people, including their use of the Mueller Report, their disgraceful attacks on Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing, their antagonistic opposition to the lawful operation of ICE agents and their ongoing farcical impeachment proceedings. They like Trump’s view of himself as the president of the United States, in contrast to that of President Barack Obama [D], who saw himself as the “president of the world,” and acted accordingly.

‘Joker’: A Cinematic Atrocity In early 1972, the motion picture “A Clockwork Orange” was released to movie theaters nationwide. Based on a 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess and brilliantly directed by Stanley Kubrick, it was probably the biggest cinematic shocker since Hitchcock’s “Psycho” from 1960.

The “Clockwork” story took place in a futuristic/dystopian London, where gangs of crazed, hopeless and violent youths terrorized what was left of the upper class, who lived in terror behind the walls of their fortified mansions. The movie originally received an X rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, and no one under 17 was admitted, period.

While the scenes of rape, violence and torture were “mind blowing” at the time, the movie would now most likely evoke laughter amongst today’s moviegoer, since we, as a society, have long since surpassed — starting with the Manson gang — anything depicted in that film.

The term “horror show” was introduced

into the lingua franca starting with “A Clockwork Orange.”

Fast forward to October 2019: I never thought I would see the day where law enforcement agencies across the country would be put on alert over the release of a Hollywood movie, but “Joker” has proven me wrong.

This latest cinematic atrocity from Hollywood is aimed squarely at the “droogs,” those young men who live vicariously through the sociopath/ psychopath protagonist in the lead role, often perceiving celluloid fantasy as twisted reality. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, in a role made famous by Heath Ledger among others, the feckless Hollywood smut peddlers have a ready-made audience with a certain depraved set. “Joker” aside, Hollywood continues to top itself in terms of cinematic depictions of gun violence and perverse behaviors aimed at the 17-to25-year-old demographic, yet are front and center in the anti-gun, anti-bullying hypocritical b.s. emanating from the walled and guarded precincts of Tinseltown.

Don’t even get me started on popular music, which has degenerated to the point where there’s hardly any music in between the computer-driven beats and the inane, seizure-inducing drivel passing for lyrics.

William Schaefer recently submitted a letter in the Sept. 26 The Village Times Herald [see above] where he was searching for an explanation regarding President Donald Trump’s continued support from his Republican base.

We are on the verge of total societal collapse a la “Clockwork,” due to the permissive, decadent and feckless “progressive” movement, birthed by Bill Clinton, financed by George Soros, and championed by the Democrat-controlled TV/movie/internet/social media.

Trump is allowing many of us to enjoy a brief respite before it all hits the fan.

We’ve gone from “The English Patient,” and “Shakespeare in Love,” to “Joker” in one generation. Prognosis: poor.

Looking to Google Results for Presidential Buzz

I

like to play Google games, just to see how many results I can get on certain search terms. I know I’ve come up with something incredibly specific when the list is 100 or fewer.

Now, to play my game, I sometimes use quotes to increase the specificity of a particular search.

For example, I might be interested in hamburgers or “hamburger helper.” The former brought up D. None 481 million in a recent search and the of the above latter, as you might

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF have guessed, was much lower, at 1.3 million. Please know that the figures I am quoting are never static.

Given the highly public nature of the 45th president, Donald Trump (R), I thought I’d check to see how a man who was once a TV personality did on Google. And, from what I can tell, he is winning the search war.

The words “Donald Trump” netted 520 million results. For someone who appears to enjoy the spotlight, even when people are raging against him, that number is impressive. That’s well above the 141 million for Mickey Mouse and the 60 million for our first president, George Washington. Granted, he has been dead for almost 220 years and Mickey is an animated creature. It is, however, below the 633 million for Brexit.

OK, so let’s compare Trump to, say, the 44th president. While President Barack Obama (D) did better than Washington, he didn’t climb as high as Mickey, getting 109 million results. He was, however, twice as popular in the search engine as his immediate predecessor, President George W. Bush, whose name, complete with the “W.,” brought 54.6 million hits. Ah, but then “Dubya,” as he was called, was higher than President Bill Clinton (D), who netted only 33.8 million results.

So, what does this mean? Maybe it suggests that presidents are on a Google escalator and that the modern reality is that the internet has become the way people search for news about the men who have led our country. The 2020 winner likely stands to become an internet search winner, too.

Assuming that the Google popularity contest is relevant, what does it say about the Democratic presidential candidates? Well, a front-runner and former Vice President Joe Biden brought 107 million results. As an aside, that’s well above the 37.5 million results from the person who holds the office of vice president today, Mike Pence (R).

Back to the Democratic candidates. Elizabeth Warren stands at 47.1 million. That beats Pence, but she’s not running for vice president, at least not yet. Whoops, bad Dan. Bernie Sanders, who ran an impressive campaign in 2016, brings up 70.2 million results, which is much higher than Warren, despite her impressive political career.

Kamala Harris has 18.5 million results, with others, like Cory Booker, at 5.6 million.

But, wait, is this a popularity contest?

Well, yes and no, right? These candidates need

sufficient visibility to attract votes. People also need to be interested in them, right? Does former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s 90.9 million results mean she’s more visible than some of the people running for president? No, it’s a reflection of her close run for the highest office in the land in 2016. That is pretty impressive for someone who wasn’t elected, but is well below singer Taylor Swift’s 415 million.

Perhaps the president in 2020, whether it be the incumbent or a challenger, will immediately see a spike in results, as people around the world type in his or her name each day to find the latest news related to the country and to his or her policies.

As an aside, I couldn’t help wondering how often the current president mocks someone or something. The term “Trump mocks” brought up 747,000 results. By comparison, “Biden mocks” only had 14,700 results. Then again, “Trump applauds” had 82,500 results, compared with “Biden applauds,” which had 3,090. No wonder Trump fatigue has set in for some people: He’s everywhere on the internet.
