Locals give pets a forever home By giSelle Barkley

The Hartlin Inn parking lot was full of furry friends from puppies to older dogs and kittens for the Sound Beach Civic Association’s fourth annual Pet Adopt-AThon in Sound Beach, Saturday. Shelter’s and organizations like Save-A-Pet, the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Grateful Greyhounds, Last Chance Animal Rescue, Long Island Bulldog Rescue and other organizations showed their many pets that are up for adoption. Organizations like the Regina Quinn Legacy Fund, which helps provide funds for animals in need, was also in attendance.

According to Bea Ruberto, president of the Sound Beach civic, four dogs and one cat were adopted several hours into the adopt-a-thon, and three more dogs were adopted by the end of the event. In addition to adopting pets, people could also get their face painted, enter a raffle to win a basket of pet-related prizes and donate money to organizations to help their cause. All proceeds went to the animal organizations in attendance. The Sound Beach Civic Association hosted its first Pet Adopt-A-Thon in 2012, and the association intends on continuing its efforts to find loving homes for local pets in need.

‘Change’ for shelter By Phil Corso

a little bit of change has gone a long way for one Setaulet-based wine shop. bob Hebert and his team at Hamlet wines, 730 rt. 25a, started collecting spare change about six months ago to benefit the brookhaven animal Shelter in order to pay for formal dog training for some of the dogs that have been in the shelter the longest. The purpose behind the project, Hebert said, was to help the animals become more likely to find forever homes. “a dog trained to walk on a leash, sit, stay has an easier chance of finding a forever family to adopt,” Hebert said. “our customers have been amazing. In a short six months we have collected enough spare change to have a trainer come to the shelter and start to train.” Hebert said the trainer also wants to help and committed to match every hour donated with one of her own. The change collection for brookhaven shelter dogs will continue through dec. 31.

Three Village Society preserves its history By Giselle Barkley

It’s history in the making. Brookhaven’s Three Village Historical Society is continuing its quest to preserve the town’s history and educate the community after the Town of Brookhaven’s meeting on Thursday Sept. 17, at 5 p.m. That Thursday, the town established the Three Village Society’s Ebenezer Bayles/Stephen Swezey house in Setauket and the dismantled Dominick-Crawford Barn, which will be located nearby, as historic landmarks in Setauket. The goal isn’t only to establish these buildings as historic landmarks but also classify them as a museum where residents can visit and learn about the history behind the house and the barn. But it may take some time before the society fulfills its goal. The society had Photo by Giselle Barkley the nearly 155- to 168-year-old Domi- The disassembled Dominick-Crawford barn, above, will be located in the field above near nick-Crawford Barn dismantled as part the ebenezer Bayles/stephen swezey house.

around 1847 to 1860, the house was built in 1800. Former President of the Three Village Historical Society Steven Hintze said the house is of great importance to the community’s history. “It was built before [the] Civil War. And many of [those houses] haven’t lasted. They haven’t made it to this point due to neglect,” Hintze said. “We were able to see [the Ebenezer Bayles/Stephen Swezey house] was starting to fall to disrepair so we started to move.” After SPLIA moved, the Three Village Historical Society left its old headquarters for its new one in the house. The Three Village Society was originally operating out of an upstairs room in a house before purchasing the Ebenezer Bayles/Stephen Swezey house on May 14, 1998. Cunniffe was unsure how long it may take before the organization can reassemble the barn, as the town’s decision to make it a historic landmark is one of many steps in the approval process to put the barn back together near the Three Village Society’s headquarters. Regardless, the Three Village Society wants to continue giving back with the hope that the project will allow residents to learn more about the history of the house and the barn. It’s a desire that Englebright supports. “They are doing a great job and as long as I can possibly support them, I’m going to continue to do so,” Englebright said. “They are making it possible for us to have an even stronger sense of place, and that’s at the core of what it means to be a part of a community.”

County pols mark national SepticSmart Week By Victoria Espinoza

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) gathered with public officials and members of the community on Thursday. Sept. 24, to celebrate the third annual national SepticSmart Week. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s SepticSmart Week, which ran from Sept. 21 to 25, is a nationally recognized week meant to inform and encourage homeowners on how to properly maintain their septic systems. Suffolk County officials also hoped this week would educate homeowners on how their septic systems impact local water quality. “It’s a time to focus on the issues that are and have driven water quality, and the issues that allow us to reverse the decline we’ve seen in our water quality,” Bellone said. Suffolk County currently has 360,000 unsewered lots with cesspools and septic systems that contribute to nitrogen pollution in the county’s surface and groundwater, according to a statement from Bellone’s office. More innovative wastewater septic systems and updated programs will help reverse the decades of decline in the county’s water, the county executive said. “This is a testament to the importance

of this problem, Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) said. “Nitrogen is seeping into our groundwater and wreaking havoc.” Bellone’s Reclaim Our Water initiative is one that partners with the liquid waste industry to overhaul the county’s liquid waste licensing program. Changes proposed to the licensing process would require training and continuing education for the many specialized services within the liquid waste field. “These proposed training and requirements will create accountability and increase consumer confidence, as property owners can be assured that the company they hire has been trained to best service the specific septic system they have and protect Suffolk County’s groundwater,” according to a statement from Bellone’s office. Bellone said a partnership Suffolk County has developed with the Long Island Liquid Waste Association is helping improve relationships between the private sector and their customers in wastewater management. “It’s making sure the private sector is set with the tools they need to help homeowners with these new advanced wastewater septic systems,” Bellone said. Other members of Suffolk County government were excited by the new water quality initiatives.

Everyone gathers to see the cesspool at alan Marvin’s house in nesconset.

“We’re involved in a historic initiative in Suffolk County to address a serious threat to our environment and our economy,” Peter Scully, deputy county executive for water quality said. “We’re always happy and anxious to work with the private sector on solutions.” This event was held at Nesconset resident Alan Marvin’s home. Officials inspected Marvin’s cesspool and observed how it had changed over time.

Marvin said he was lucky to have been chosen because he learned afterward that his septic system is set to overflow by December, and he would have had to call for emergency services. He said he was not aware of that. “It’s an important issue,” he said. “I don’t think most homeowners realize when they go to the bathroom what it affects. This is a good way for Suffolk County residents to learn.”

Roe bros linked to Culper Spy Ring By Giselle Barkley

It was such a well-kept secret, it took more than 200 years to come to light. Port Jefferson Village officials unveiled the newest historic addition to the Drowned Meadow Cottage museum last week: a letter that links Port Jefferson’s Roe brothers to then-Gen. George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring, which covertly worked to advance the rebel cause during the Revolutionary War. Loyalist soldier Nehemiah Marks wrote the letter on Dec. 21, 1780, to inform his comrades that Phillips and Nathaniel Roe, among others, helped supply Setauket-based spy Caleb Brewster with information to pass on to the Patriots. According to Mayor Margot Garant, a former Port Jefferson high school student found the letter two years ago while researching the Revolutionary spy ring at the University of Michigan and contacted the mayor. The next step was getting the letter authenticated. “The authentication for this letter is so critical,” Garant said in an interview before last week’s event at the cottage, the former home of Phillips Roe. Villagers had long had suspicions that he and his brother were important “not only to village history but to the history of the Revolutionary War, and instrumental in the spy ring. That was kicked around as a rumor for many years and never authenticated.” The Roe brothers came from modest means, according to Georgette Grier-Key, a historical consultant who authenticated the letter and designed its exhibit at the cottage. Their father, John Roe, was a shoemaker, but Phillips was more successful: He owned a wood business, as well as a ship. He used those resources to help to discreetly pass along information in the Culper Spy Ring. But before the letter, some people doubted the area’s extensive involvement. “There was some … organizations that didn’t really believe Port Jefferson had a claim to being part of the spy ring,” Grier-Key said. “Now we have [a] primary document source that says otherwise from a Loyalist perspective.” The letter also links another North Shore neighborhood to the spy ring: Mount Sinai. Old Man’s Road is among the locations listed in the message, after a Patriot informant named James Smith was spotted receiving information there. During a ribbon-cutting and open-house ceremony at the museum last week, Grier-Key said it is possible that towns farther east of Port Jefferson and Mount Sinai could have been a part of the ring too. For now, Garant said, the letter officially puts Port Jefferson and hamlets like Mount Sinai “on the map” for their involvement in the ring and their contribution to the war. That recognition is reaching across Long Island — Michael Goudket, a program instructor from Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster Bay attended the event to show his support for the Drowned Meadow Cottage museum, saying there is a new sense of appreciation for the Island’s involvement in the Revolutionary War. “People are starting to appreciate that even though Long Island doesn’t make the history books with big battles … we have the most interesting spy stories,” Goudket said. The historic letter is on display at the museum alongside other documents, like Phillips Roe’s last will and testament and a list of individuals who still owed him money upon his death in 1792. Those who were involved in the letter’s discovery and authentication hope to uncover more information about the spy ring.

Town efficiency plan is on target By GiSelle BaRkley

The Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai was upgraded to be more energy efficient.

Photo by Giselle Barkley

143782

On Monday, Waste Management Executive Assistant Frank Tassone and the Town of Brookhaven’s Chief Environmental Analyst Anthony Graves updated town officials during a work session meeting regarding their Energy Efficiency & Sustainability Initiative plan progress. Since the town began executing the project earlier this year, Tassone said they are on target with creating a more energy-efficient environment during a work session meeting at the Town of Brookhaven. Thus far, the duo have completed energy audits in the Town of Brookhaven building, the Rose Caracappa Center in Mount Sinai, the Highway Department and the Brookhaven Animal Shelter as well as four other facilities, with the help of various contractors. Additionally, they have and are still replacing existing streetlights with LED lights. During the meeting, Tassone said the town has saved over $320,000 in lighting this year, and they expect to save over $400,000. According to Graves, replacing the lights isn’t based on where the streetlights are located. “We’ve been looking at [the lights] based on energy use,” Graves said in a phone interview. “Some of our streetlights use a lot more energy than other street lights [because] they’re higher voltage bulbs.” To date, 1,316 traffic light units have also been replaced with LED bulbs. Tassone and Graves estimated that the change will help save nearly $40,000. They also projected that the plan will help save around $750,000, annually. Graves said that the number could increase as an increase in upgrades means the amount of money saved will also increase. The plan also focuses on sustainability as part of Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine’s (R) goal to plant 10,000 native trees by 2020 to help the local environment. Four thousand native trees were planted so far. The plan also attempts to reduce fossil fuel emissions with its Green Fleet update. The town recently adopted a 33-mile-per-gallon minimum for passenger vehicles, which will reduce the amount of CO2 emissions in the environment. A typical vehicle excretes nearly 5,500 pounds of these emissions. With the new MPG standards, under 3,000 pounds of CO2 emissions will be released. While saving energy is good for the environment, Graves said Long Island’s location makes energy saving and sustainability initiatives very important. “We’re surrounded by water, and after Sandy we realized that we’re going to need to take a leading role in terms of trying to combat climate change,” Graves said. “We’re very vulnerable to sea level rise and to the increased intensity of storms that are predicted to occur as a result of climate change, and we can’t just sit here and do nothing. We have to show action.” Romaine first mentioned this plan, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2020, during his state of the town address in February. Tassone and Graves, alongside others who are working to execute this plan, targeted facilities that use high amounts of energy, like Town Hall. During the work session meeting, Romaine commended Tassone and Graves and others involved in the plan, and he emphasized that it will take time to work. “This is a plan that we’re working on, and it will come together.” Romaine said during the meeting. “It’s one of those things you don’t notice and all of a sudden you take a look at it and boom, you’ve achieved a reduction in greenhouse gases. You’ve improved your energy efficiency and you’ve reduced your cost. But it’s not something that just happens overnight, it’s a gradual thing.”

Hack, center, was lauded by McKay, right, and the college’s board of trustees members for her college-wide production “Suffolk Hacked.”

Hacked and loving it

West Babylon’s Tara Hack, 27, is the new host of a college-based, studentfocused news program airing on Suffolk County Community College’s social media channels, website and student portal, and soon on television screens throughout the college’s three campuses. “Suffolk Hacked” was launched with a student focus, combined with information about athletics, campus clubs and departments students should know about. The program has taken the campus by storm. Suffolk County Community College President Shaun L. McKay and the college’s board of trustees recently recognized Hack at a board of trustees meeting where an episode of her show was shown. “I am grateful for this tremendous opportunity that would not have been possible without the support of my fellow students and the faculty, staff and administration at Suffolk County Community College,” Hack said. “Tara has broken new ground with her innovative approach,” McKay said. “We look forward to seeing more from Tara and having it seen far and wide.” Hack plans to use her experience as the host of “Suffolk Hacked” to hone her writing and on-camera technique for a demonstration reel for a future career in

broadcast television. Hack, a radio and television production major, is no stranger to performing and has been writing and performing her own music since she was a child — even teaching herself how to play guitar at just 14 years old by watching instructional videos on YouTube. Hack plays her original music three days per week with the Musicians Under New York program underwritten by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in Penn Station and Brooklyn’s Atlantic Terminal. When she was 18, Hack co-wrote a song entitled “Saya Tidak Bersalah — I’m Not Guilty” — about an Australian woman, Schapelle Corby, who was jailed in Indonesia. The song quickly gained international airplay and was featured in The Sydney Morning Herald and Brisbane Times. Here at home the song was played on college radio stations, including at the University of Rhode Island and University of Colorado at Boulder where Hack was asked to play at the Conference of World Affairs. Hack continued her humanitarian efforts by penning another song, “She Falls Down,” to raise awareness about domestic violence. The song was used as the background in a Chicago public service announcement.

Many help run the farm On Aug. 22, Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) hosted the first Run the Farm 4 Mile Challenge, a USA Track and Field-sanctioned community event that started and finished at the 11-acre Bethel Hobbs Farm in Centereach. He was joined at the event by Supervisor Ed Romaine (R). All proceeds of the race went to benefit the farm, which provides fresh produce to those in need. There were 180 runners who finished the race, with top male and female finishers Leo Chen of Selden and Hannah Zetlin Wong of Port Jefferson posting winning times of 24:15:17 and 30:48:25, respectively. Race results are posted at www.start2finish. com/2015race.htm. Finishers can view themselves crossing the finish line by clicking on Searchable Results, finding their time, and clicking on Video. Finishing certificates are also available for printing. The Run the Farm 4 Mile Challenge raised $4,800 to benefit the Bethel Hobbs Farm. This will afford the members of the farm’s volunteer staff to further their mission of providing more than 30,000 pounds of

produce from their seasonal yield to a network of local food pantries and food programs. The farm is also an educational place for local businesses, schools and other organizations to volunteer and improve the quality of life in the community. “The Bethel Hobbs Farm serves the needs of so many people and I was happy to be part of it and show my support for this community event,” Romaine said. “Thanks to all the runners, volunteers and spectators, the first annual Run the Farm 4 Mile Challenge was a big success for Bethel Hobbs Farm. The work that they do to provide families with nutritious food is a labor of love and I commend Ann Pelligrino for her spirit and dedication to helping her neighbors,” LaValle said.

Despite the final score, Centereach head coach Adam Barrett still has faith in his team moving forward. “We were 2-0 before we came into this game, and we know what it takes to win,” Barrett said. “Now we’ve got to get back on track.” The Cougars will look for a bounceback performance when they host Half Hollows Hill East this Saturday at 2 p.m. Meanwhile, red-hot Smithtown West will be back at Robert W. Pratt Field this Friday night, when they welcome Riverhead. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., and Caroussos said his team will be ready for the challenge. “This game was a huge confidence booster for us, especially going into next week,” he said. “That’s going to be a great competition for us. We’re expecting that to be a great game.”

OPINION

U.S. Rep. Zeldin reacts to Pope Francis speech

File photo by Susan Risoli

Wastewater is handled at a sewage treatment plant on the North Shore.

EdiTOriAL

Cesspools will catch up with us sewer or later

There’s something in the water — our own excrement. Last week was national SepticSmart Week, an annual U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initiative created to teach people how to care for their septic systems. People should know how to maintain these waste systems to prevent their contents from seeping into the ground and into our drinking water aquifer, but it’s a shame that we are still at this point. Suffolk County politicians frequently talk about their lofty goals to build sewer systems throughout our neighborhoods. in addition to better protecting surface and groundwater, sewers enable commercial and residential development, which is what we need to keep Long island a viable community for future generations. But we rarely see progress toward the widespread sewer goal. Part of the problem is the tremendous cost of “sewering up” all of our homes and businesses. however, it’s better to start paying now than when we are in the throes of another recession and desperately need sewers in order to attract business and keep the economy chugging along; or when we wake up one morning to find our water supply irreparably saturated with human waste particles. Although there are admirable government initiatives to reduce nitrogen pollution, sewers are the ultimate solution. Maybe our electeds are hesitant to be the hated ones handing taxpayers a large bill for the projects, but someone’s got to do it. Until our elected officials start taking real action, there are things we can do to help spare our drinking water, such as investing our own money in our septic systems, upgrading them to more environmentally friendly ones and safely cleaning them out more frequently to prevent overflowing. According to Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s office, there are 360,000 county lots with septic systems and cesspools that add nitrogen pollution to our communities. if even 10 percent of those lot owners upgraded their septic systems, it could make a world of difference.

Congressman Lee Zeldin says he is happy to have been in the House chamber for such a historic event.

TO ThE EdiTOr: i was honored to be in the house chamber this morning to listen to Pope Francis’ address and to celebrate his historic first visit to the United States, a nation built on the foundation of religious freedom and democracy. Pope Francis discussed a number of challenges around the world and his vision for solutions. Most importantly, in recognizing America’s contri-

butions all around the globe, his presence inspired unity, compassion and motivation to do even more in the future to make America and the rest of the world a greater place. i was proud to be joined by my gallery guest, Louisa Nadia Lopez Taitt, a 10-year-old visually impaired Bellport resident who is deeply religious and in need of much prayer and healing. For Louisa, hopefully being in the

presence of the Pope to give her the strength and courage to keep fighting, makes the Pope’s visit all the more important. The Pope’s visit to America is filled with inspiration for all of us individually and as Americans.

When the mean season meets the postseason

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

t’s a collision of colors, sights, sounds and ideas, of comings and goings. I know he wasn’t running for office here in the United States, but the love fest for Pope Francis was incredible. He drew enormous crowds, while discussing climate change and immigrants. This is the time when the mean season meets the postseason. Republicans are gearing up

to fight for us, but before they do, they’re fighting against each other, while they get ready to fight against Hillary Clinton, the presumptive frontrunner on the Democratic side who wants to unify a nation that’s divided over its feelings for her. But wait, we’ve seen this Democratic show before, right? That guy with the eloquent speaking ability and the minimal experience in Illinois didn’t really have a chance to become president eight years ago, until he did and now President Obama is almost getting ready to leave his job. Can’t you just feel the Republicans racing for position behind Donald Trump, wondering when and if there will be an opening that allows them to lead the party? Speaking of comings and goings, Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin had dueling ideas for what to do about Syria. Ideas and rhetoric collided at the United Nations — a

place Putin hadn’t addressed in 10 years. People are angry. Well, Trump certainly is. Or, wait, is he just playing angry on TV until we can all sort it out and realize that he’s just a patriotic American with a vision for America that will keep us safe, happy, fully employed and healthy? Then, of course, there’s the postseason, where the boys of summer have a chance to become the men of October. The Mets are loaded with young guns, who are ready to drive the Dodgers and their manager Don Mattingly out of the postseason. My beloved Yankees look like a flawed team limping their way into the wild card in desperate need, perhaps, of someone with Yogi Berra’s legendary ability to drive in runs in big situations. And then there’s water on Mars. We’ve been hearing about it for a long time, but NASA is excited that this evidence is for real. They don’t know where it

comes from, exactly, or how it got there, but they’re convinced it’s there and it’s incredibly salty. The announcement left open the possibility that it might contain some form of life. While it’s exciting, it’s also a tad anticlimactic to those hoping for signs of life with hands and a face. The stock market doesn’t know what to make of these times: Are we OK with China? Are we worried about low gas prices? Does the Federal Reserve know something it’s not telling us? Is this a great time to buy or the right time to sell? Watching stocks is like tracking a flock of birds who seem to be heading west in the sky, only to reverse course dramatically and go east before slingshotting back and forth again and again. Next, there’s the surprise resignation by House Speaker John Boehner, and the start of a new era on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah. The trees that turn color

People are angry; and the Mets are ready for the Dodgers. first are a sign that school really is open, that fly-by-night Halloween stores will start opening, and that pumpkin pie and mince will soon be available at favorite restaurants. By then, families scattered hither and yon will come together at Thanksgiving to reconnect, laugh and recharge their batteries. By then, the leaves will be off the trees and the Halloween candy will be either eaten or donated. So, let’s not rush ahead, because we’ve got so many modern moments ahead.

A return visit to China after 10 years

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

he last time I was in China was 10 years ago, so when one of my sons told me he had been invited to give a series of talks at different universities there and would welcome my company, I jumped at the chance to see how the country had changed. I had been impressed by the energy and the work ethic of the Chinese people as well as the ambitions of the government, and knew that in a decade there would have to be a

difference. So I invite you in turn to come along with me now, and I will share my impressions as we travel in this beautiful, exotic and ancient land of contrasts. What a difference! We landed in Shanghai at night, and my first sight was of the airport: broad glass sheets, soaring steel beams and ultramodern with its people and luggage movers. No one we met in the bustle of humanity spoke English, but we did manage to find an ATM machine and a sign with the appropriate picture and the word in English directing us to the taxis. Getting to our hotel was another matter. We did not have the name written in Chinese, a flaw that resulted in a two-and-a-half hour cab ride before we found ourselves ready to fall into our beds. As cynical New Yorkers, we suspected the worst of the cabbie but we couldn’t be sure and, to our delight, the bellman at the entrance to our hotel forced the driver to take two-thirds of the amount on the meter when he learned we had come from the airport. It set

the tone for the rest of our trip, for we found the Chinese people to be honorable throughout all our subsequent money transactions with them, although they expect to bargain. In any event, the lesson here is to get the name of every destination in Chinese for the driver, and especially to carry the name of one’s hotel in Chinese for the return trip. And cab fares, by the way, are quite reasonable. The number of skyscrapers in Shanghai has indeed multiplied, and the architecture is imaginative and impressive. But at the same time that we marveled at the skyline the next morning, we noted the thick gray fog that covered the sky. This was the pollution we had been warned of, and it was to accompany us during all but a couple of days throughout our trip. Few people wore masks, we noted, as we ventured out, and I was immediately dazzled by the colors of the clothing worn by the pedestrians as they hurried along the streets. When I was last there, most people wore blue jackets, gray pants and sturdy shoes. Now

the women in particular were dressed in bright shades of every color, matched with fashionable sandals, and they looked quite elegant and attractive. They also looked thin, the men as well. It wasn’t until we traveled well north that we saw a taller and sometimes stockier population. The city was clean and free of litter, the result of cadres of people with large brooms whom we saw sweeping the walkways as we rode the red double-decker tour buses. I remembered the human cleaners from my last visit, but this time they were reinforced with mechanized sweepers that rode along the sidewalks and in the streets. Where before there had been many bicycles and fewer cars, now there were traffic jams of legendary proportions and few bicycles. And after a couple of days, we realized that we never saw anyone in a wheelchair or on crutches and, unless the buildings were quite recent, there were no aids like elevators or depressed curbs for the disabled. We did see a few people in wheelchairs

What a difference!

where there were westerners, like in Beijing. In a few of the cities we visited, Chinese tourists from perhaps more rural locations, stared at us or came up and asked to take pictures with us. This was all transacted with pantomime, of course. They seem especially to like red, the national color, and the day I wore a crimson blouse I was a popular iPhone target. Many of the children we saw were in the care of their grandparents since both parents tend to work. And although the single child — the result of the one-child policy — was often a boy, I was happy to see a lot of young girls. This, too, was a noticeable change from my last visit. The surest way to break the ice on the street or in a museum or park, we found, was to interact with the children. We were rewarded by the adults with broad smiles. Part II will be next week.
