Last weekend the Three Villages confirmed that it is not just people of color who want to revamp the justice system in America. A coalition of community groups gathered at the Stony Brook LIRR station to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Members of Black Lives Matter Stony Brook Chapter, Building Bridges in Brookhaven, North Country Peace Group, the White Coats for Black Lives Stony Brook Medical School chapter, and the Racial Concerns Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Stony Brook marched together. The Racial Concerns Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Stony Brook created the march, after a banner in support of Blacks Lives Matter was vandalized this past year. Barbara Coley, co-chair of the Racial Concerns Committee, said the aim of the walk is to highlight the need for change in America’s law enforcement. “Our goal for this march and rally is to focus attention on the criminal justice system that needs reform because it targets poor black and brown boys and men,” she said. “We march and rally to show our support for the movement for black lives.” But the more than 200 Black Lives Matter supporters were not the only participants in attendance Saturday. Several dozen North Country Patriots members were also on the scene. The North Country Patriots have been meeting at that location for years in support of American troops and veterans.

Budget Review Office, Leg. Trotta, warn of financial doom for Suffolk By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County’s nearly $3 billion budget for 2017 is waiting to be signed on the desk of County Executive Steve Bellone (D) after it was approved with several amendments by the Legislature Nov. 9. But legislators, Moody’s Investors Service and the director of the Budget Review Office for the Legislature have reported the county’s financial situation is dire. The Legislature approved amendments to Bellone’s budget by an 11-7 vote. The Public Health Nursing Bureau, the Tobacco Education and Control Program and increased funding for overtime in the Sheriff’s Office were among the beneficiaries of the Legislature’s amendments. Legislator for the 13th District, Rob Trotta (R- Fort Salonga), was among the seven who voted against the budget. He notably called for the resignations of Bellone and District Attorney Tom Spota (D) earlier this year for their roles in the promotion of former county police commissioner, James Burke, who in February pleaded guilty to charges of a civil rights violation and conspiracy to obstruct justice. “The county finances are in total shambles,” Trotta said during an interview in his Smithtown office Nov. 15. “[The other legislators are] sticking their head in the sand. They’re not addressing the real problems. No one wants to address the problems. You need colossal change.” Trotta’s primary concern is contractual pension and pay increases for county police officers. The former county police detective likened Suffolk’s current financial situation as treating a scratch on an arm that is hemorrhaging blood due to a severed hand. The county and the Police Benevolent Association agreed on the current contract which runs from 2011 to 2018. Trotta estimated for every 200 cops that retire, it could cost the county more than $60 million. “We need to generate businesses and growth, but we can’t afford to,” he said. Robert Lipp, director of the county legislature’s Budget Review Office, expressed many of the same concerns Trotta had in his assessment of the county budget. “How are we able to provide services at needed levels when facing a structural deficit that is far in excess of $100 million in each of the past several years? It is a conundrum,” Lipp said in a letter accompanying his review of the budget in October. “The short answer is that the county’s structural deficit is increasingly driving our decisions. As a result, some initiatives,

legislator rob trotta (r-Fort salonga) believes suffolk County’s dire financial straights can be traced back to campaign promises made by County executive steve Bellone (D), specifically regarding the county’s contract with the police department. that may be considered crucial, are funded without regard for our ability to pay, while others are funded at less than needed levels because of our deficit position.” The budget included $26.7 million in revenue from short-term bonds to pay for sick days, vacation days and terminal pay for the police but the measure was rejected by legislators in a bipartisan vote, though the county must still fullfill its contractual requirement with the police department. “The county sets a bad precedent when paying for operating expenses with borrowing,” the assessment said. The credit rating entity Moody’s Investors Service has projected a negative credit rating outlook for the county due to outstanding debt and a reliance on borrowing. The budget actually calls for the collection of $2 million less in property taxes than the maximum allowed by New York State’s tax-levy increase cap. But about $50 million in increased fee revenue from various government services is included in

above, the growth long Island could see in renewable energy resources if the project is approved. Below, how the wind and solar energy would make its way to long Island.
Largest renewable energy project awaits approval By ReBecca anzel The largest renewable energy project ever proposed for Long Island has near unanimous support Clean Energy Link, introduced by Chicagobased private energy developer Invenergy, LLC, would produce 701 megawatts across 55,671 acres — about the size of Long Island’s North Fork. Four wind farms and two solar farms would be privately funded and built in rural areas in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina, and the power generated would be transferred to a substation in central New Jersey and converted from AC to DC. Then, it would be shipped 80 miles underground and underwater by a transmission line and connect to the Long Island Power Authority’s grid at a 3.5-acre facility on Ruland Road in Melville. A spokeswoman from Invenergy said the company submitted a proposal to LIPA, and is hoping it will be granted a contract. It is unclear how much money LIPA is willing to pay for the electricity Clean Energy Link will generate, but if the power authority approves the project, it is expected to be operational by the end of 2020. “I’ve been in this business since 2003 and this is probably one of the most, if not the most exciting project we’ve done,” Mike Polsky, Invenergy’s CEO, said at a press conference on Oct. 24. “It’s a very remarkable, bold and transformational step for New York State, and despite some naysayers, whatever they may say, it will happen.” Clean Energy Link is a step toward achieving a mandate set by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in August that 50 percent of New York’s electricity needs to come from renewable energy sources by the year 2030. The first checkpoint
is a requirement that utilities need to purchase energy from nuclear power plants in the state by April 2017 in an effort to prevent the facilities from closing. “New York has taken bold action to become a national leader in the clean energy economy and is taking concrete, cost-effective steps today to safeguard this state’s environment for decades to come,” Cuomo said in a press release. “This Clean Energy Standard shows you can generate the power necessary for supporting the modern economy while combating climate change.” According to Invenergy, about 9.5 million megawatt hours per year need to be produced by renewable energy sources statewide by 2030, and the Clean Energy Link project would produce about 1.6 megawatt hours per year. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said because Nassau and Suffolk counties have about 3 million residents, it is a “notoriously very difficult place” to build anything. He expressed his support of the renewable energy project at a press conference in part, he said, because Long Island has experienced extreme weather and other impacts from increased carbon dioxide emissions. “We have to be leaders on this issue — Long Island has to be out front,” he said. “... Part of that leadership means identifying what makes sense and maximizing the potential of the things that make sense. We are
more at threat from climate change than just about any other region in the country.” Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said the most important aspect of the project must be its affordability for residents. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, New York had the seventh highest electricity prices in the country in 2015. “The residents need to benefit. Period,” Anker said. “Energy costs are too high and we need to come up with a way to make it affordable for Long Island residents.” One of her other concerns is if local communities are able to give feedback before LIPA officials decide whether to grant Invenergy a contract for the Clean Energy Link project. For Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), Clean Energy Link makes environmental sense because by increasing New York’s use of renewable energy, the state’s reliance on foreign fuel lessens, and therefore its carbon dioxide emissions will decrease. He also said the proposal is economically sound because the project would be constructed in states where land is cheaper and in more abundance than on Long Island, a point echoed by other local politicians. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) said he’s opposed Invenergy’s other project on Long Island — a 24.9 megawatt solar farm in Shoreham on the former Tallgrass Golf Course. It was approved by LIPA in
May and is supported by other Brookhaven officials, who recently passed changes to the solar code prohibiting trees from being cut down for the construction of solar arrays. “I don’t like the idea of solar farms on Long Island that impinge upon or displace green space,” Englebright said. He added that transporting the power the Clean Energy Link project would provide underground is smart, because it would not be subject to disruptions due to weather. “LIPA would be wise to move in the direction that this offers, which is the renewable direction,” Englebright said. “We’re an oceanic island, and putting more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere ultimately drowns us.” To Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), the most impressive aspect of Invenergy’s Clean Energy Link proposal is its “multipronged” approach. Renewable energy should not be produced by just wind or solar individually. The project’s potential impact is greater because it would make use of both. She also said lower energy bills would go a long way toward generating community support. According to Invenergy, the project’s proposed start date was chosen to make full use of federal incentives for solar and wind energy production, a savings that would be passed along to residents. Pine Barrens Society Executive Director Dick Amper agreed that community support is imperative for the success of the project. “If the people who produce solar cut down forests for it, or put it in residential neighborhoods or replace farms that produce food for it, the public is going to turn against solar,” he said. “It took 25 years for everybody to come along and agree we need renewables. They’re not going to like them if we put it in bad places, and we can’t afford to have the backlash because we need solar.”

Legislator congratulates local Eagle Scouts on honor On Nov. 6, Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) joined Boy Scout Troop 433 at the Middle Island Fire Department for an Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony to recognize Eagle Scouts Dale and Drew Wissmann. Eagle Scout is the highest rank that can be earned by a Boy Scout, and
only a small percentage of Scouts are granted this rank after earning 21 merit badges and a lengthy review process. “I would like to commend the Wissmann brothers for their enthusiasm, skills and commitment to improving their community,” Anker said. “Their contributions
are a testament to their determination and will serve as a model for future generations of Boy Scouts. I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.” In order to become Eagle Scouts, each Boy Scout completed a community service project.
Dale Wissmann sanded, resurfaced and restored the church floor, altar floor and altar railings at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Middle Island. Drew Wissmann removed, replaced and painted the main front door, rear door, and the basement door of the same church.

Black lives matter Continued from page A3 with the North Country Patriots, held up a sign to support the power she believed all Americans should have. “My sign says #Balls Matter,” Ginter said. “And ‘balls’ meaning the strength and honor and courage that the American people have. And we shouldn’t be dividing each other with Black Lives Matter. We should be uniting one another with American Lives Matter, Balls Matter.” Most Saturdays the patriot group outnumbers the peace group, but on this day, the several hundred Black Lives Matter supporters upped the volume on the opposition. Ryan Madden said he does not think being a Black Lives Matter supporter means you can’t also support veterans, along with many other groups in America. “It’s [Black Lives Matter] one of the most open and intersectional movements, and it’s not mutually exclusive from supporting vets,” he said. “It’s supporting black vets, disabled vets, trans vets, all people from all shades and backgrounds.” When he heard people on the other side of the street yelling, “All lives matter,” in response to their chants of “Black lives matter,” he said the real issue isn’t being focused on. “I think they have a problem with the word black, and that’s the problem,” Madden said. “Like what was just chanted, all lives won’t matter until black lives matter, until indigenous lives matter, until trans lives matter. It [All Lives Matter] thinks it’s being this inclusive framework, but it’s not. It’s not listening to people who are saying our lives don’t matter in this society currently.” While many members of the march held the south curb, engaging their opposition activists across the road, a majority formed a circle beneath the trees for a rally on the knoll

to listen to poems, prose, and speeches in support of the movement. Among rally participants were the White Coats For Black Lives from Stony Brook University Medical School. Second year medical student Toni McKenzie explained the organization’s purpose. “White Coats For Black Lives is a national initiative that works to eliminate racism in health care,” she said. “We work in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement because we believe inadequate community policing and mass incarceration often affects the psychosocial health of our minority patients.” Suffolk County Police Department had a dozen officers on hand to control traffic and ensure safety during the protest. Officers walked on the road alongside the marchers to control the eastbound cars that traveled closest to the protest route. This raised dissent with some protestors. “I am a little discouraged by the character of this march,” Marcus Brown, a member of the Black Lives Matter group said. “I was under the impression that we would only be having a police escort across 25A and Nicolls Road because it is such a perilous intersection. That was part of the condition of our organization’s participation in this march, that there would not be a police escort the entire way. Because Black Lives Matter does not concede the police and the black community as having mutual interest. We believe that our interest is fundamentally antagonistic to the police in this country whose social function is to maintain racial order at the expense of black people.” Despite the criticism of police presence, the event was seen as huge success. Mark Jacket of Building Bridges said the event helped bring more awareness to the community. “The turnout is phenomenal!” he said.

Trump earned the votes, but our trust will take time
File photo by Desirée Keegan
Newfield’s Raphael Celanti knocks in a goal for the boys’ soccer team during the Wolverines’ Suffolk semifinal win.
All we do is win, win, win Success isn’t given, it’s earned, and our North Shore teams this fall have earned it. Our student-athletes aren’t just building character through lessons of teamwork, or gaining strength and endurance, or learning about winning and losing — they’re leaving legacies. Some teams may have seen their losses as failures, but we can’t forget the history that was made this season. Centereach’s football team made the postseason for the first time since 2002; Ward Melville’s field hockey faced off in the state finals for the second straight season; and Mount Sinai’s girls’ soccer team made it to the Long Island championship after claiming the program’s first county crown. Newfield’s soccer team also made big moves this season. The boys played in the county finals for the first time, and the girls, who were part of a developmental league in 2012 — designed for weaker teams to play competitive games without the possibility of postseason play — won 11 games this season and made it to the Suffolk quarterfinals. Smithtown East’s girls’ volleyball team had a near-perfect season. They lost just one game heading into the Suffolk finals. Northport made it back to the girls’ soccer county finals after two seasons, getting over the semifinal hump. And Ward Melville’s football team will be playing in the county finals for the first time in three decades this weekend, after upsetting No. 1-seed and previously undefeated Lindenhurst last week. And then there was total dominance by teams like the Port Jefferson’s girls’ soccer team, which brought home back-to-back state titles after its third-straight almost perfect season. Kings Park’s girls’ volleyball team cruised to its sixth straight county and Long Island titles, and plays in the state finals this weekend, and Smithtown West’s boys’ volleyball team, which brought home the school’s first county and Long Island titles this year, will also play in the state tournament this weekend. We have fully enjoyed covering our sports teams this season and are proud of their success. Of course it’s fun to watch and write about victory, but it’s also gratifying to see the student-athletes in our coverage areas working hard to make their communities proud. We also would like to commend all of the hardworking coaches — who are volunteers, in some cases — for their dedication to bettering our youth. With so many opportunities available for kids to stray down the wrong path, it is a breath of fresh air to see our athletes thrive.

The postelection editorial “Coming together” published by Times Beacon Record Newspapers (Nov. 10) contains a serious misstatement of fact. You state “President-elect Trump was chosen by the majority of Americans in a Brexit-type upset.” That is not true. Not only was Trump not chosen by the majority of American voters, he was not even chosen by a plurality of American voters. He came in second in votes cast. Although this has no legal force it is an important fact. Trump is legally presidentelect only because of an archaic clause in our Constitution, the Electoral College. Although I opposed his election I accept this. If the tables were turned and Hillary Clinton had come in second but won the Electoral College, I wonder if Trump and his supporters would graciously call for national unity, particularly after all the threats he made to stir up postelection trouble if he lost. Your editorial expresses the pious hope that Trump will “serve as a unifying symbol for all Americans,” perhaps by nominating a noted constitutional scholar to the Supreme Court. You suggest Barack Obama. I will volunteer to contribute $500 to a charity of the editor’s choice if Trump nominates a nonpartisan constitutional scholar; I will triple that if it is Obama. I don’t think I’m putting my money at risk. One can always hope for the best, certainly nothing wrong with that. But it is foolish to ignore facts. Early indications are not hopeful. Trump has already named a number of highly divisive figures to his transition team. Among them are Edwin Meese III, notorious for abusing his power as attorney

general during the Iran-Contra scandal, refusing a request to assist the FBI and looking the other way when John Poindexter and Oliver North shredded incriminating documents. Also selected is Myron Ebell, a climate-change denier and oil industry mouthpiece, to head the EPA transition team. An easy unifying step that Trump could take would be to publicly denounce the wave of hate crime incidents currently sweeping the country, and to make it clear that his election does not mean open season for bigots to deface property or attack or intimidate others. So far the silence is deafening.
Americans can all agree that the Constitution is the law of the land. I just hope that Trump remembers there is more to the Constitution than the Second Amendment and the Electoral College. Specifically I hope that he keeps in mind the provisions about free speech, freedom of the press, no state-preferred religion, the right of peaceable assembly, the right to petition for redress of grievances, due process, equal protection under the laws and protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
David Freeman St. James
Reverend: America has spoken, and enough is enough Your postelection editorials illustrate just how myopic and monolithic journalists are these days. The pervasive shock and dismay, anxiety and apoplexy over Trump’s election are unhinged and undisguised. As for me, I feel intense relief. Relief that we are spared life under a would-be president whose corruption, mendacity, criminality and blood-stained hands have been journalistically denied, ignored, excused, minimized and enabled for decades. Relief that we may soon no longer be led by those using the Saul Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” playbook
fraught with fraud and fomenting divisiveness, chaos and revolution with the only moral (actually amoral) compass being whatever grabs, holds, and exercises power. And you now recommend Barack Obama for the Supreme Court as a “Constitutional scholar?” One who has done all he could get away with to undermine, circumvent and distort the Constitution? Amazing. The mainstream media, entertainment industry and snooty academia have colluded with big government to enforce so-called “progressive” propaganda and political correctness — with
nothing but Christophobic and Bibliophobic disdain for the traditional beliefs and morals that have been the foundation and vitality of America — that has been going on so long, so emboldened and finally so blatantly and destructively that enough Americans were able to penetrate the fog and say “enough is enough.” That in itself is a Deus ex machina and act of God’s mercy.

opinion A plea to a president-elect for a stronger anti-hate message
H
orrible acts are now connected with the name of our Presidentelect Donald Trump. Yes, I’ve heard the counter argument that these acts would have been committed anyway and that the media — yes, the cursed media — is overblowing and overplaying them. Or, is it? My question to the presidentelect is: “Why haven’t you been more forceful in showing disdain, disappointment and disgust over these acts, whether or not By Daniel Dunaief they might have happened even if you weren’t elected president?” Is he worried people might think he’s being politically correct? Does
D. None of the above
he think being sensitive to others, paying attention to circumstances in which bullies run rampant or, worse, commit violent, harassing or illegal acts is a sign of weakness? He has an opportunity to lead the nation. We owe him that, just as President Barack Obama and the defeated Hillary Clinton have said. He will be the president and, as such, he will have the attention of a world ready to react to every word he says. Why, then, can’t he say how horrified he is by these acts? I heard that he indicated to CBS’ Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes” that he wants people to stop. Really? That’s it? That’s the best a man who never seemed at a loss for words can offer? He should tell those who commit hate crimes that he will come after them with the same fury and attention that he promised to send home illegal immigrants. He should make it clear that he, his administration and this country will not accept teachers who suggest they will send
African-American children back to Africa, among other intolerable words and deeds. Of course, Trump can’t be responsible for the actions of everyone in the country. But, he can and should lead by example. He can set the tone, making it clear that no matter who else he appoints to his administration or what those other people may have done or said in the past, he is the president and he has a zero-tolerance policy for the kinds of hateful actions people are committing in his name. The media has a job to do. Reporters shine light in areas where there might otherwise be darkness. Even if the president-elect doesn’t like the news as he reads it, he can do something about what’s being reported instead of blaming the media for sharing bad news. Even buying into his argument that nothing has changed since his election, he should push for change, for opportunity, for freedom and justice for all, and not just for those
who elected him. Look, I get it: I’m a huge Yankees fan and it sickens me when my team wins and some other Yankees fan acts out against the fans of an opposing team. I can argue that real Yankee fans wouldn’t do that and I can say, “Stop.” But the future president of the United States can and should offer more. You want people to know they can’t connect your name and your presidency with hatred, then make it clear that you won’t tolerate it and that this is not who you are — and it is not the America you will be leading. Our president-elect had strong words for his opponents in the primaries and for his vanquished competitor in the general election. Where are those strong words now that some people in the country are acting in ways contrary to the principles on which this nation was founded? Please, Mr. President-elect, take this moment to address those elements of this country who seem to define and justify bad acts in your name.
Looking at the election through a purple lens, with pancakes

hen I was a child, my parents would sometimes take me out of the city and to the Catskill Mountains where my father was raised. There, in rustic accommodation, we would spend some weeks during the summer, happy to be out of the heat and humidity. But for a child used to the protective shield of tall urban buildings, I would be fearful when a summer storm, with high gusts, thunder lightning By Leah S. Dunaief and would rage across the country horizon and pelt the windows and roof of our cabin. Seeing my fright, my mother would leap into action. “Oh good,” she would say. “It’s a perfect day for pancakes.” As I would watch, she would whip eggs and milk from the antiquated refrigerator, then
Between you and me
heat some cooking oil in a pan. She would ask me to beat the eggs while she measured out the flour and in short order the divine smell of frying pancakes would fill the kitchen. The storm outside now merely made the feast inside more cozy and safe, and by the time my mother, sister and I finished eating and looked up from the table, the summer squall would be gone. Security, thy name was silver dollar pancakes. In these unsettled times of postpresidential election, how I wish I could cook up some pancakes to help calm the people around me. My neighbors, my friends, our readers, many of them seem anxious, even afraid. Whether they voted for Clinton or Trump, they don’t like what they are hearing about bullying, demonstrations that can turn violent and slurs that seem to have been unleashed by the election. With each possible pick for the new administration, from chief strategist to possible EPA chief to a trial balloon for secretary of state, a shudder goes through the minds of many. Our outgoing president urges us to give

some space to the incoming one, and then leaves the country for his last overseas trip. He has already visited Greece with Germany and Peru to follow, undoubtedly to try and calm those unsettled by the election in distant capitals. Anxiety, it seems, is global, but not entirely. The stock markets are celebrating. The prospect of government spending on infrastructure and tax cuts that will stimulate the economy has sent the markets around the world on a tear as they hit all-time highs. Monetary policy is out — fiscal stimulus is in. At least that is the presumption at this first blush of transition to a new administration. Meanwhile we have a country that is equally divided. What could be better proof than to have the razorthin popular vote go one way and the Electoral College go the other way. How do we deal with that? Despite the closeness of the election, the fact remains that the GOP won and won across the board: senators, representatives and governors. At least the next two years of political party leadership have been determined, and there is no further

contest for now. But we also, as a democracy, are obligated to protect the rights of the minority — all minorities. That’s the part of the definition that some majorities don’t get. If we could all acknowledge and teach that point, those who feel threatened because they are in the minority could stop being afraid. Further, the GOP is not a monolithic bloc — there is not just one shade of red. Nor are the Dems just one color blue. There is enough potential for bipartisanship as long as neither side digs in and vows to prevent cooperation between the parties. We Americans want our elected leaders to work actively on our behalf, not just to abdicate and coast in office. It will take the best of both sides to steer our nation through these challenging times. And by the way, the times have always been challenging. We, on Long Island, have set a pretty good example with our state, county and town legislators often working together for the regional good, regardless of party. So there is hope. That’s my impression — and I’m not just serving up pancakes.

Clockwise form above, student-athletes from Centereach and Newfield high schools sign their letters of intent to continue their athletic careers, in honor of National Signing Day; Jamie Ortega shoots the ball during a previous Middle Country lacrosse game; Olivia Veintimilla heads the ball; and Tom Long tosses a pass.
Middle Country athletes take talents to next level Eleven Middle Country Central School District students-athletes signed letters of intent in honor of National Signing Day, to demonstrate their commitments to college sports teams. Among the talented students is Centereach High School student Jamie Ortega, who will be attending North Carolina Chapel Hill and was named the No. 1 lacrosse recruit in the country by Inside Lacrosse. Also signing letters of intent to play lacrosse at the collegiate level were Centereach High School students Ava Barry, who will be attending Boston University, twins Amanda and Rachel Masullo, who will be playing for Long Island University’s Brooklyn campus, and Michael Benasutti and Jake Strull, who have signed to play for St. Joseph’s College. Centereach student Sean Mc-
Guinness will attend the College of St. Rose to play baseball, Newfield High School student Thomas Long will attend Long Island University Post to play football, Centereach’s Lindsey Ness signed to play softball for Hofstra University, and Newfield’s Vaneeya Voliro and Olivia Veintimilla committed to play soccer for Long Island University’s Brooklyn campus and Nazareth College, respectively. The students were joined by family, coaches and school administrators before formally accepting athletic scholarships and signing to their future colleges.
