Plot thickens in Commack, Port Jefferson FOIL case By Elana Glowatz Both sides of a disagreement over public records have dug in their heels, insisting over the last few days that the fault lies with the other. Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant originally expressed regret over a report from nonprofit group Reclaim New York — which focuses on government transparency and finances, employment and the economy — that said both her village and the Commack School District had failed to properly respond to requests for public records through the state’s Freedom of Information Law. But shortly afterward, her office sent a letter to TBR News responding to Reclaim New York’s claim that its appeals for spending information were ignored, saying, “Nothing could be further from the truth.” The Reclaim New York office has since confirmed receiving more than 1,200 pages of documents on Tuesday morning from the village, fulfilling that public information request. New York State’s Freedom of Information Law requires governments and school districts to respond to records requests, commonly known as FOIL requests, within five business days, whether with the information requested, a denial or an acknowledgement of the request that includes an estimated date when one of the former two will occur. Denials can be appealed, and agencies are not allowed to deny a request “on the basis that the request is volumi-

nous or that locating or reviewing the requested records or providing the requested copies is burdensome because the agency lacks sufficient staffing.” As part of a project it dubbed the New York Transparency Project, Reclaim New York sent 253 Freedom of Information requests to school districts and municipalities on Long Island. It reported on its findings, saying that while many entities complied with state guidelines on processing such public records requests, on Suffolk County’s North Shore both Port Jefferson Village and the Commack district did not. Entities that it said complied included Suffolk County; Brookhaven, Smithtown and Huntington towns; Belle Terre and Lake Grove villages; and the Port Jefferson, Kings Park, Huntington, Smithtown, Mount Sinai, Miller Place and Rocky Point school districts, among others. Reclaim New York spokesperson Doug Kellogg said Commack denied part of the FOIL request, “making big chunks essentially useless,” and that Port Jefferson Village at first was “underprepared” to properly respond to its request for 2014 information on vendors, including what the village made purchase orders for and who it made checks out to. “Port Jeff never worked with us from there, they just ignored the appeals and our phone calls,” Kellogg said.

Village Clerk Bob Juliano challenged that claim last week, noting that the same day his office received the FOIL request via email, on March 7, he acknowledged receipt. He said the treasurer was working on compiling the information, estimating it would be done by the end of May. Commack School District spokesperson Brenda Lentsch also responded on May 20, saying that the district answered a first FOIL request, then received a second that required private information be redacted and would have come at a cost of $0.25 per page, which the district communicated to Reclaim New York. Garant’s initial email response to the TBR News story was that she was “beyond disappointed” that she did not know about the FOIL request to the village. She followed up with a letter that called Reclaim New York’s request “a blatant transparency test” that asked for extensive information: “Several village employees have had to spend significant time away from their duties serving the village in order to gather these records. So far, approximately 4,500 pages of documents have been identified and are in electronic format, and the work goes on.” The mayor said Treasurer Dave Smollett worked with the nonprofit on two occasions “to help them tailor a more focused

253: Records requests sent on Long Island 57: Requests ignored, denied or incomplete

request which would better meet their needs,” but the group “never attempted to work with the treasurer to fine-tune the request” or followed up to check its status. Reclaim New York noted an appeal email sent to the mayor’s office on April 11 that said the group had not heard back on its FOIL request, and Executive Director Brandon Muir challenged the mayor’s contention that his group attacked the village in a statement this week. “Reclaim New York’s Transparency Project treats every municipality the same,” he said. “It’s designed to create more open government for the people of our state.”

drugs, cash and contraband were retrieved following the successful execution of a search warrant at a sound beach residence.

Drug bust in Sound Beach A local tip led to the arrest of a Sound Beach resident on drug charges. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini announced that an executed search warrant resulted in the recovery of drugs, cash and contraband, and the arrest of Robert Trent. Trent, 25, who lives on North Country Road in Sound Beach, was charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, thirddegree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of marijuana and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Detectives from the 7th Precinct Special Operations Team, with help from the Emergency Services Section, Canine Section, 7th Precinct Crime Section and Asset Forfeiture, executed the search warrant and seized 100 grams of heroin, 210 grams of cocaine, 740 grams of MDMA, more than a kilogram of marijuana, a 9-mm weapon, ammunition, $26,000 in cash, scales, cell phones and other drugpackaging paraphernalia. Attorney information for Trent was not available.

Since its inception on March 31, a new police tip line, 631-852-NARC, has received 415 tips and paid out six cash rewards. And since a new police drugfighting initiative began on Dec. 15, focusing on executing search warrants like the one in Sound Beach, 89 have been executed, with 179 people arrested. More than $1 million in cash, more than $1 million in drugs and more than 50 weapons have been seized. As a result of the latest drug bust, Sound Beach Civic Association President Bea Ruberto, who said a resident tip contributed to the bust, has announced a poster contest to encourage residents to continue to be the eyes and ears that will keep streets safe. “The police can’t be everywhere, and if we want to make our streets safer, it’s important to do what we can,” she said in an email. “That’s why we currently have reached out to high school students to develop a See Something, Say Something poster.” The winner(s) will receive a $100 savings bond and will be announced at the civic’s next meeting on June 13. The poster(s) will be displayed throughout the community.

61 names added to 9/11 memorial wall in Nesconset By Phil Corso To the wall, the names were new, but to those at 9/11 Responders Remembered Park, they brought with them years of courage and heroism. All eyes were on Nesconset on Saturday as 61 more names were etched into the wall of heroes at the park, honoring those who paid the ultimate price for their efforts in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The event was packed with first responders, their families, lawmakers and advocates, including advocate and first responder John Feal of Nesconset’s FealGood Foundation and comedian Jon Stewart. “This park was built for one reason — not to be the first of its kind or the best, but to serve the 9/11 community with grace, dignity and humility,” Feal said to the crowd on Saturday before the new names were read aloud. “The stories and acts of heroism cannot be told or passed down if we do not live long enough to tell them.

It’s about us.” With a heavy-hearted expression on his face, Stewart read each of the names that were added to the wall that day in somber tone. The tolling of a bell followed each name. After his remarks, the comedian and former host of “The Daily Show” remarked on his time on the front lines of advocating for first responders’ benefits. He spoke to inspire those in attendance against the fear of terrorism, saying “we win” because of America’s unending resource of courage. “I’m always humbled when I’m in the company of Ray and John, and all the other responders,” he said. “I’m always humbled when someone says thank you to me. You don’t ever have to thank me for anything, because I can never in my life repay the debt that you all gave to not just me, but to the city and to the country. We owe you, and we will continue to owe you forever.”

Soledad O’Brien exemplifies the vision of our university as she is actively engaged in the critical issues of our time — initiating and exploring important national conversations.” Graduates represented 41 states and 67 countries, and students ranged in age from 20 to 73 years old.

Thanks to a grant from the Smithtown Children’s Foundation, students in Ali Cheselka’s family and consumer sciences classes have set up a greenhouse and garden tower and are watching their plants flourish and fresh food grow over the last few weeks.

Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month A celebration of the 8th Annual Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month was held on Saturday, May 14, at the Vajiradhammapadip Buddhist Temple in Centereach. This month is a celebration of the culture and the heritage of people from Asia and the Pacific who add to the great diversity of the United States in terms of culture, cuisine and achievements. The celebration included the Wellbrook Foundation Youth Orchestra, which played the sounds of not only

Asian music but also music from around the world, ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century. Peter Papiewski, music director and conductor at the Thai Cultural Center, led the orchestra. On the temple grounds there was also an Open Theater featuring seven different multicultural performances, including those from Bangladesh, China, Korea, Nepal, Taiwan and Thailand. The performances included live music and dance representing the culture of each country.

Crafting for purpose The Middle Country Public Library hosted a Crafting for a Purpose program. Fourteen creative participants, led by Women’s Business Expo vendors The Crafty Twins, volunteered their time and skills to create handmade kitchen towels using beautiful fabrics.

Val Buzzetta, a long-time resident of Head of the Harbor, NY and Marathon, Fl, passed away December 4, 2015. A resilient, sprited, and extremely intelligent lady whose wit and ability to converse were loved by all, Val had for many years fought her way through a variety of illnesses that would have sidelined most of us. Her resolve and courage were admired by all, but most especially by her close family who truly appreciated the challenges she faced on a daily basis. A long time member of the community, Val believed in partronizing the local businesses and restaurants that make our area special, and her familiar face and friendly smile was a fixture around town. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to laugh and joke with friends and everyone she came into contact with on a daily basis. In recent years, as she became less able to participate in her favorite athletic activities, she developed a love for puzzles, word games, and literature but most especially enjoyed her daily crosswords, most of which would confound the rest of us but that is the kind of lady she was - the more the challenge, the better she enjoyed it! She was able to enjoy some travel especially around the beautiful Eastern seaboard ports in CT, MA, and ME on her boat the Impetuous, which she enjoyed doing, especially with friends or family aboard. She also enjoyed her frequent dinner dates with both family and friends, and kept a busy social

calendar year round. She and her husband of nearly 60 years, Joe Buzzetta, met by chance through friends back in the 50’s and married in 1957 just prior to Joe’s deployment in Europe. The pair were just 18 and 20 years old when they moved from New York to Frankfurt, Germany and settled on the Army base where Joe was stationed. Theirs was a very interesting and amazing marriage in the early years as they travelled around Europe on Joe’s military leave times to various countries while he pursued his auto racing career. They learned to speak German fluently and made many friends across the world in those years, after which they moved back to Long Island and settled in St. James. While Joe got his Automotive business off the ground, Val quickly got their household organized and they started their family with son Joe in 1963. Son James was born in 1966 and daughter Nancy in 1968, and the couple decided to move to Nissequogue where the kids could grow up and attend the Smithtown schools throughout the 70’s and 80’s. In the early 80’s the family built a home in the neighboring village of Head of the Harbor which the extended family still considers home. A fabulous cook and gracious hostess, Val entertained many friends and family members at large and small gatherings over the years. Avid travellers at heart, Val and Joe maintained many of their friendships abroad and often travelled

across the Atlantic with Joe’s racing activities or just for recreation. Val also enjoyed many years of skiing up in Vermont, and warm weather activities in her Florida Keys hometown of Marathon, including boating, snorkelling, and the like. In addition to being an avid skier and boater, Val’s favorite activity was Tennis, which she enjoyed tremendously and she treasured her many leagues and tournaments at the Nissequogue Golf Club where the couple also attended countless social events over the years. Val made many, many friends around Nissequogue and Head of the Harbor during those years, as well as in the Florida Keys community of Marathon in the 90‘s and later, and the family truly appreciated the many well wishes we have received from those friends in the time following her passing. In addition to her beloved immediate family including husband Joe, sons Joseph and James, and daughter Nancy; Val had her 7 Grandchildren James Buzzetta, Dan Buzzetta, Chris Buzzetta, Valerie Staniloff, Jennifer Staniloff, Isabella Buzzetta, and Joey Buzzetta; her 2 brothers, Robert T. DeMarco of Virginia, and Richard DeMarco of California, and her many cousins, nephews, and of course, dear Friends. Anyone wishing to honor Val’s memory with a donation to the Long Island 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk, St. Charles Hospital, or the Little Shelter, would be most appreciated. These were just a few of her favorite causes.

Jamie Ortega scores six in first-round win By Desirée Keegan Junior midfielder Jamie Ortega started and capped off a 7-0 run that helped Middle Country mow down Sachem North, 14-9, in the Division I Class A quarterfinals Friday — and running is the name of the Mad Dogs’ game. “This is our run to the counties,” junior midfielder and attack Ava Barry said of her 16-1 team that is now on an 11-game winning streak. “We did really well moving the ball down the field and really using our speed.”

Middle Country raced up and down the field, and despite being double-teamed the entire way, Ortega muscled her way past defenders, firing shot after shot. “Finding Jamie, even though she was faceguarded, that was definitely helpful,” senior defender Jordynn Aiello said. “Everyone was used today.” Ortega scored twice more during the seven-run spurt, freshman attack Sophie Alois tacked on two goals and Barry netted one. “I think we shot well and we transitioned the ball,” Middle Country head coach Lindsay Dolson said. “I think we rode really well in their transition.” Ahead 11-3 to open the second half, Barry scored less than a minute in, Ortega added another and, after a Sachem North score, Barry tallied her hat trick goal after swiveling around defenders and dumping the ball in up high, off a feed in front of the cage. But the team topped West Islip this season, “We knew coming in here that we had to 9-3, on April 29.

We have to make sure we come out hard, stay strong on defense, cut off their big scorers and make sure we put the ball in the back of the net.” Results of Wednesday’s matchup were not available by press time, but if Middle Country wins, the team will face off against the winner of the Smithtown West/Northport matchup. Regardless of the outcome, Aiello said she has enjoyed the ride. “We’ve been strong from the beginning,” Aiello said. “Coming into this season I had a good, strong feeling about these girls. A majority of us have been playing together since fourth grade. I’m very sad it’s my last season playing with them since I grew up with them, but I know we have something special on this field and I don’t want it to go to waste.”

Letters to the editor Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone should resign

Tom D’Antonio and Councilwoman Jane Bonner meet with surgeon Dr. Joseph Del Pizzo for a checkup at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Donating saves lives

Councilwoman Jane Bonner recently went above and beyond the call of duty as a public servant, donating her kidney to a friend she has known for almost 40 years. Her friend had already undergone two organ transplant surgeries and was in desperate need of a new kidney when Bonner stepped up. He is not the only American who has been in desperate need of an organ. Many are not as lucky. The National Kidney Foundation said that more than 3,000 new patients are added to the kidney waiting list every month, and 13 people die every day waiting for a kidney transplant. Bonner is helping to raise awareness for a topic that many people may not be thinking about. With all the advancements medicine makes every year, and with the U.S. having literally double the number of kidneys needed to keep the population alive, it should seem shocking that people still die from kidney failure in this day and age. Of course, donating a kidney is certainly no small feat. Anytime one undergoes surgery there is a risk. But the conversation is important to have, even with yourself. If you have two healthy kidneys, you may be able to help save another person’s life. The Living Kidney Donors Network said that more than 80,000 people are currently on the waiting list, where most people remain for more than five years waiting for a lifesaving donation while on dialysis. The waiting list would become exponentially longer if we were to also consider all the other organs people are waiting on, such as hearts, livers and bone marrow. Just bringing this topic more into the spotlight may spare a life. We commend Jane Bonner for having the guts to do something so huge to save another person’s life, and for sharing her story.

County Executive Steve Bellone made a late decision on Thursday, May 12 to move his press conference from his offices at the H. Lee Dennison Building to the steps of the district attorney’s office. After all, it’s best to be a safe distance away from a glass house before throwing stones. At that press conference Bellone demanded the resignation of District Attorney Tom Spota, levying a slew of allegations against his office and bemoaning a “culture of corruption which perverts this government ...,” while painting himself as a victim of the corruption swirling around him. Bellone’s portrayal is laughable. He is as much a part of this culture of corruption as is Tom Spota. I appeared uninvited at Bellone’s press conference and addressed the media not in an act of political grandstanding, but to ensure the whole truth comes out regarding the corruption that is eating away at our county. For too long elected officials in Suffolk County have been allowed to go unchallenged, hiding behind half-truths, and pointing fingers in a never-ending quest to escape blame. When I believe the people of this county are being deceived, it is my responsibility as a legislator to speak out. It is not about politics, it is about putting an end to the lies. Those who have followed the media accounts know all too well the saga of disgraced former Police Chief James Burke. As much as Steve Bellone would like to pin Burke’s hiring on Spota, it is he who ultimately bears the responsibility for Burke. He hired him, he ignored warnings about him, and he continued to stand by him despite evidence of his wrongdoing. However, amidst Burke-Gate, some may have forgotten about Bellone’s IT Commissioner, Donald Rodgers, who was forced to resign in 2014 after being arrested and

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship ... or not

ou’ve got a friend in me. You ain’t never had a friend like me. You want a friend in this town? Get a dog. You’re not my friend anymore. And, perhaps, one of history’s deepest friend cuts, “Et tu, Brute?” Then again, I’m not sure how much Julius Caesar considered Brutus his friend on that fateful day. We’ve all heard about or had unusual, spectacular and By Daniel Dunaief backstabbing friends. These people, who aren’t our relatives but with whom we voluntarily spend time, are in a category of people that distinguishes them from strangers who push past us on the freeway, along the sidewalk or

the line at the cafeteria. And while we’re certainly aware of the dangers of unrequited love from literature and history, are there unrequited friendships? If you believe a recent study out of Tel Aviv University in Israel, the answer is a resounding “yes,” and it happens more often than we might hope. This research found that only half of those other people called their friends returned the favor. That means if you like John and Joe, chances are John might like you, but Joe could be somewhere between indifferent to you or annoyed at the way you tap his arm each time you say something too insignificant to break physical boundaries to share. So, that left me in a quandary. How do I know who I want to be my friends and who wants me to be his or her friend? Maybe, I thought, as my wife and I went out to dinner for the first time with another couple, we would become friends with two people at once. Could this, like that famous line in “Casablanca,” be “the beginning of a

beautiful friendship?” I had no such dramatic hopes, focusing instead on the little stuff: What should I wear, what would we discuss, did we have anything in common — and should I try to order quietly with the waiter while my wife distracted the couple so they didn’t know I was lactose intolerant? A few moments after we sat down, I realized I didn’t have to speed read through the menu looking for items that my children would tolerate. The woman from the other couple did the equivalent of shooting layups, as the rest of us listened. She shared stories about the academic and extracurricular interests of her children. That, I thought as I nodded politely at everything she said, was friendly enough. Gradually we worked into a comfortable rhythm, even venturing into the potentially treacherous area of national politics. When I brought it up, I knew I ran the risk of talking with someone with incredibly strong opinions that conflicted with my own. Within seconds, however, it was clear

that all four of us held similar political views. When the evening ended, the men shook hands and gave social air kisses to the wives. The evening went well; I don’t think I embarrassed myself, my children or my wife. Now, are these people our friends? Not yet, I suppose, but the four of us are, perhaps, friendlier. As we drove to pick up our son, who was at a late-night party with around 100 of his closest friends that would undoubtedly make him irrational and irascible the next day, I recalled the warnings about the dangers of becoming friends with our kids. They don’t need friends. Rather, what they need are authority figures who can tell them what they don’t want to hear, or so the advice goes. But, wait, like a good movie where the solution is right in front of my face, I recalled a friendly tip from long ago: It’s important to be friends with the person you are dating. That, I realized, was excellent advice. It’s much easier to share a life with the one out of two people who reciprocates a friendship.

of choice inside as he and she came aboard. It was like being given a grab bag with surprise contents to be pulled out, one at a time, once the passengers were seated. Included were a small tray of appetizers, a fun salad, a larger box with the main course and sides, and a little bag of scrumptious mouthfuls of desserts. Bars at either end of the boat provided white or red wine — or water — to accompany the meal. All of this played out against a backdrop of quiet dinner music from our talented DJ, who was able to stop and get a bite to eat himself when he was temporarily replaced by the High C’s, a delightful a cappella act. Drawn from Stony Brook University students, the group harmonized beautifully and was widely praised throughout the evening. We also viewed a short video of different staff members at work and a slightly longer film clip previewing seven dramatic episodes we will be releasing in two months about the Setauket-based Culper Spy Ring. The video action came to life, as actors in Revolutionary War costumes seemed to leap from the film and began dueling across the ferry’s main cabin. Unlike the AMC popular cable drama, “Turn,” ours will be authentic and will be ac-

cessible through a QR code — that is, a matrix barcode — on our Three Village map. Wait for it until July. As soon as the formal, albeit brief program was over, we turned the floor loose for dancing. The DJ encouraged guests to rise and “cut the rug,” with his lively music. Some guests drifted outside to the stern or up to the top deck to watch Nature’s spectacular show. While we gladly take credit for the many other logistics of the party that worked, we can only give thanks for the turn the weather did that afternoon. What dawned as a gray and uninspiring day, with a damp chill and the distinct possibility of rain, became sunny and warm. The skies cleared to allow a Hollywoodesque sunset. As the ferry slowly turned around from its “cruise to nowhere” and reentered the harbor, we were honored to have state Assemblyman Steve Englebright and Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. offer some deeply appreciated kind words about our newspapers. Comptroller Kennedy brought a proclamation marking the occasion and Assemblyman Englebright, who has been in public office about as long as we have been publishing and hence knows us well, talked about our track record over the years.

It was a lovely finale to what was for us a memorable evening. Other officials have sent proclamations as well, including Town Clerk Jo-Ann Raia on behalf of Huntington, and members of the government of Brookhaven Town, led by Supervisor Ed Romaine. We will be proud to publish them over the next couple of weeks as space allows. As always, news comes first. I want to offer heartfelt thanks to others who generously contributed to making our party a reality, including our law firm Glynn Mercep and Purcell; John Tsunis, the spark plug behind both the Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook and Gold Coast Bank; and our accountants, Covati &d Jahnsen. Fred Hall, the general manager of the ferry company, is himself celebrating his 40th anniversary with the company and deserves our admiration for his steady hand over those years. And, finally, to you — our readers and advertisers — who have supported us over four decades, and to our dedicated staff, past and present, who make the newspapers and websites trustworthy sources of news week after week, my profound gratitude. Thank you! Hope to see you at our 50th party.

An elegant sunset cruise to mark our 40th anniversary

ack to business as usual now, but last Thursday night, May 19, was magical. As some 300 community members, advertisers and readers know firsthand, we had a 40th anniversary party aboard the P.T. Barnum, one of the ferries of The Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Company. There are three vessels in its fleet that sail between the two shores of the Long Island Sound, and By Leah S. Dunaief the reason we reserved that particular one was its wide center aisle, which we converted into a dance floor after we ate. Speaking of eating, the food was simply delicious, if I do say so myself. Catered by Elegant Eating of Smithtown, owned by Myra Naseem and Neil Schumer, the supper was a choice of Thai chicken, orange salmon, a vegetarian and a vegan meal. Each guest was handed a shopping bag with the entrée
