Governor Announces State Aid to Relieve Road Damage on Route 25A BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A section of North Shore roadway will benefit from new state funding for the renewal of streets impacted by extreme weather events. New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Jan. 23 that $151 million in new funding to complement $743 million in direct state aid provided through the PAVE NY Initiative for local road and bridge projects. Of the new allocation, $6.6 million will be used to renew Route 25A from Nicolls Road in Stony Brook to Main Street/East Broadway in Port Jefferson, according to a press release from the governor’s office. “New York continues to make nation-leading investments in the renewal and modernization of the state’s roads, bridges, transit systems and airports,” Cuomo said in the release. “These investments are laying the foundation to ensure sustained growth throughout the 21st century in tourism, business and workforce development, and economic opportunities.” According to the release, the improvement will enhance highway safety and reduce the roughness of roads, which in turn will make them more fuel efficient. Work is estimated to begin this spring

and be completed in the winter of 2020. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) brought the severity of local road conditions to the attention of the state Department of Transportation last year, according to a press release from his office. The designated areas have been subjected to serious degradation due to water seepage into road seams and large clusters of filled potholes creating rutted, uneven and unsafe surfaces.

One of the worse sections is the roadway near the East Setauket Post Office to CVS, but other sections have deteriorated rapidly, including the hill from Poquott into Port Jefferson. “Last summer, we noticed an acceleration in the deterioration of different sections of Route 25A,” Englebright said in the statement. “So, I met with DOT staff to communicate the urgent need for repair. After evaluation of the road confirmed the urgency, [NYSDOT]

regional director, Joseph Brown, indicated that he would do his best to find funds to do repairs. We want to thank the regional director and his staff for working to include the main highway of our community in this funding program.” Town of Brookhaven Highway Supervisor Dan Losquadro (R) said while he’s always grateful when he hears of state funding coming the town’s way, when he heard the recent news, he was disappointed as to how little aid was coming to Suffolk County. He pointed to the fact that the section of Route 25A is the only one designated in the area. He added there is a desperate need for state funding to be reinstated for work on Route 347, specifically for the Nicolls Road overpass and intersection. Losquadro said he will continue conversations with state legislators about state roads, also the Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program, otherwise known as CHIPS, allocation for local streets. “I really hope that this is a starting point and not an endpoint when it comes to the proposal for funding for infrastructure for Long Island, because paving one road in Suffolk County really isn’t to me an adequate investment on the part of the state Legislature,” Losquadro said.

Local Girl Scout Helps Injured Birds of Prey BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

when her daughter chose to help out at Sweetbriar. “She’s always liked to help animals,” the mother said. “She’s definitely a big animal person. She’s also always liked to do community service.” Her mother said with Girl Scout Troop 2867, her daughter has helped Smithtown Animal Shelter by making dog toys and conducting supply drives for them. Outside of Girl Scouts, Van Cott has made memory wire bracelets and sold them at her father’s office and donated the money to SaveA-Pet Animal Shelter in Port Jeff Station.

When choosing a project for her Gold Award, one Stony Brook Girl Scout drew on her love for animals. Hailey Van Cott, a junior at Ward Melville High School and a Girl Scout since kindergarten, recently began repairing the prey pen within the flight aviary at Sweetbriar Nature Center in Smithtown as part of her Gold Award project. A visitor to the center for years, she knew the location was the right choice. “I really love what Sweetbriar stands for and I knew I wanted to help them out for my Gold Award,” she said. To help with her project, PSEG Long Island awarded the Girl Scout $200. She said she plans to use the money to put down Astroturf around the sides of the prey enclosure, which helps the birds grip as it’s a softer texture than a piece of wood and in turn prevents foot problems. PSEG representatives said the project is in line with their goal to relocate osprey and other raptor nests from electrical facilities to safe nesting locations. “We want to help ensure these wonderful birds continue to return to the area year after year while, at the same time, protecting the reliability of the energy grid,” said John O’Connell, PSEG Long Island’s vice president of transmission and distribution. “Hailey’s project aligns with our commitment to protecting the local raptor population.” Her mother, Deb, said she wasn’t surprised

other things done here,” Fernandes said. The coordinator explained that the pen is enclosed in the 80-foot flight conditioning enclosure aviary, which is used for wildlife rehabilitation to help injured birds fly again and exercise their muscles before they can be released. The center prey pen ensures the birds maintain their hunting skills. Fernandes said there is currently a great horned owl in the aviary that was removed when Van Cott was working on the enclosure, as it’s important to keep human contact as limited as possible — something she has now learned through experience. “The more interaction with humans they have, the more adjusted they will become,” the Girl Scout said. “They need to learn how to capture the prey themselves and how to survive on their own.” As part of her Gold Award project, in addition to working with her family on the enclosure, she will talk to younger Girl Scouts about the project, Van Cott said, as well as educate them about the importance of animal rehabilitation and how birds of prey control the rodent population. “Every animal has its part in the ecosystem,” she said. “I’ve always loved big birds. I’ve always loved seeing them out in the wild just looking up and seeing a hawk every now and then.”

LI Health Officials Monitoring Coronavirus Threat

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

While the risk from the new deadly coronavirus that has closed cities in China remains low in New York, Long Island hospitals, including Stony Brook, are working with the New York Department of Health to prepare in case it makes its way to the New York area. The respiratory virus, which originated at a seafood market in Wuhan Province in China during contact between humans and an animal that reportedly could have been a snake, has claimed the lives of 132 people as of Jan. 29. The virus has spread to three states, with single cases in Seattle, Washington, and Chicago, Illinois, and two cases in California. The reported deaths from the virus are all in China, although people have also tested positive for coronavirus in countries including Australia, Canada, France, Japan and Vietnam, among others. As of earlier this week, New York State had Medicine. “There is always a concern when sent samples for nine people to the Centers for these outbreaks are announced.” Disease Control and Prevention for testing. At this point, however, the World Health Four samples tested negative, while the state Organization has not declared the outbreak is awaiting results for the an emergency. The CDC other five. has classified the new ‘There are “These five individuals coronavirus threat level as remain in isolation as their procedure plans “low.” samples are tested at CDC,” The coronavirus, called Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) 2019-nCoV, in the same in place in every family as issudden said in a statement. “While acute the risk for New Yorkers is hospital. There is respiratory syndrome and currently low, we are still the Middle East respiratory working to keep everyone always a concern syndrome. The initial informed, prepared and safe.” mortality rate from the when these current coronavirus is lower China has been working than the 10 percent rate for to contain the virus by outbreaks are SARS, which spread in 2002, enforcing lockdowns in announced.’ or the 30 to 35 percent rate cities like Wuhan. Indeed, MERS, which started in an unnamed Stony Brook —Bettina Fries from Saudi Arabia in 2012. scientist, who was visiting The timing of the virus his family, has been unable is challenging because the to leave China to return to Long Island. Through a spokeswoman, symptoms are similar to those for the flu, Stony Brook said it is grateful for the help which has become more prevalent in New of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the State York and around the country this winter. Department and the university community in Coronavirus symptoms, according to the CDC, include coughing, fever and shortness trying to bring him home. When he returns to the United States, the of breath. While airports like John F. Kennedy Airport professor will remain in quarantine until he in Queens are screening people who arrive could no longer be a carrier for the virus. Area hospitals, meanwhile, are watching from Wuhan, efforts to determine whether they may be carrying the virus could be carefully for any signs of coronavirus. “There are procedure plans in place limited, in part because the incubation period in every hospital,” said Dr. Bettina Fries, could be as long as two weeks, during which chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases time an infected person could be contagious. Infectious disease experts suggested in the Department of Medicine at Stony Brook University’s Renaissance School of practicing the kind of hygiene that would

reduce the likelihood of contracting the flu. This includes: washing hands for at least 20 seconds, using hand sanitizer and maintaining a distance of about 3 feet from anyone who has the sniffles or appears to be battling a cold. Infectious disease experts also suggest cutting back on handshakes, especially with people who appear to be battling a cold.

“If you have immunocompromised people, they should be extra careful,” Fries said, adding that the CDC, which has been regularly updating its web page, www.cdc.gov, has been working tirelessly with national and state health officials to coordinate a response to this virus, wherever it hits. “The New York State Department of Health and the CDC need to be praised for all the work” they are doing, she said. “They have a task force that doesn’t do anything else but prepare for patients coming from outbreak areas.” Scientists around the world have also been working to develop a vaccine for this new virus. According to a recent report in The Washington Post, researchers anticipate developing such a vaccine in as little as three months, which is considerably shorter than the 20 months it took to develop a vaccine for the SARS virus. The Post, however, suggested that the development of a vaccine would require testing before it received approval. Fries said the concern about the coronavirus comes less with the current death toll than it does with the effect as it continues to spread. “It’s important to see how far it spreads and what the real mortality is,” which is tough to track because the outbreak is still at the beginning and scientists and public health officials are still processing new information, she added.

A Q&A with Susan Donelan, Medical Director of Health Care Epidemiology, Stony Brook University Hospital, About the New Coronavirus 1. Is the outbreak plan for this new coronavirus any different than the plan for SARS or MERS at Stony Brook? The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019nCoV), a new virus that causes respiratory illness in people and can spread from person to person, shares a lot of similarities to other coronaviruses we have seen such as SARS and MERS-CoV. At Stony Brook Medicine, our teams are incorporating best practices from the Pandemic Influenza Plan. These practices are especially important during the flu season. 2. Is everyone in the emergency room taking a history on admission, particularly for people presenting with respiratory infections and a fever, that includes questions about travel to China? As a matter of standard practice for many years, the hospital has asked all patients with any influenza-like illness [ILI] about recent travel history and is well versed in obtaining this information. Additionally, regardless of the presence or absence of travel, any patient

presenting with an ILI immediately will be given a surgical mask to place over the nose and mouth, in order to limit the spread of any respiratory pathogen they may be harboring. 3. How much space could Stony Brook make available if the hospital needed to isolate people who might have this virus? Stony Brook Medicine has already performed a walk-through of our facility to identify where patients could be cohorted if there were suspicions for this illness, and should they need hospitalization. As per the [CDC], people confirmed to have the 2019nCoV infection, who do not need to be hospitalized, can receive care at home. 4. What is the current recommended treatment plan if someone either has or is suspected to have this virus? Currently, there is no vaccine available to protect against 2019-nCoV and no specific antiviral treatment is recommended for the infection. People infected with 2019-nCoV should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms.

Ward Melville 59 Hampton Bays 20

Patriots Wrestling Dominate Baymen BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With four pins in the match, it was Ward Melville’s Nick Gaffney who led the way for the Patriots with a pin just 16 seconds in. Aidan Toomey did it in 33 seconds, senior co-captain Daniel Cassera won his match at the 1 minute, 9 seconds mark, and Ethan Herschander pinned his opponent 43 seconds into the second period. With scores like those, the Patriots dominated visiting Hampton Bays, winning 59-20, in a nonleague matchup at home Jan. 23. Ward Melville junior Matt Cracchiola, at 126 pounds, notched another win with a 16-0 technical fall. He surpassed his 100th career victory earlier in the year and hopes to bring that momentum into the league and county ﬁnals. Patriot head coach Garrett Schnettler said Cracchiola will have his work cut out for him as he’ll be competing in the deepest

weight classes in the state. Ward Melville sophomore Christian Lievano, at 99 pounds and in his third year on varsity, is undefeated in Suffolk County this season. He has amassed a career record of 31-3. The Patriots retake the mat in the Wes Dolon Invitational at Mattituck high school Feb. 1. First bout is 8 a.m. On the cover, Cassera (top) pins his opponent at the 1:09 mark at 160 pounds. Pictured clockwise from above, sophomore Dan Hallisey (top) competes at 138 pounds; at 120 pounds Ward Melville freshman Jace Yannucciello outscores his challenger, 16-0, to win by technical fall; Gaffney (top), a freshman for the Patriots, pinned Hampton Bays Kenneth Lainez in 16 seconds at 170 pounds; at 132 pounds junior Herschander (top), a secondyear varsity starter for the Patriots, pinned Kevin Sohtz of Hampton Bays 43 seconds into the second period. — Photos by Bill Landon

Letters to the Editor Editorial Deny Fear, Think Practically Salsa Fundraiser a Success at The Bates House

“Fear is the mind killer.” It’s a recurring phrase found in the seminal writing of Frank Herbert’s 1965 book “Dune.” Despite the complicated jumbling of sci-fi jargon and galactic themes of power, religion and politics, the one phrase sticks out, touching on a basic fact of human existence, and the ever-present element of terror in the hearts of humanity. We experience that same overriding fear again and again, such as now when reading about the current outbreak of the coronavirus from China. There have already been five people announced to have caught the virus in the U.S. That is out of 110 people who are currently being investigated for having the virus, where over 30 have come back negative. New York City has yet to have seen a particular person come forward with the virus, but city hospitals are making preparations knowing it’s only a matter of time, according to The New York Times. Long Island is in much the same way making such preparations, with Stony Brook University Hospital and other Long Island health centers putting plans into effect. This isn’t some kind of new, alien virus. The coronavirus has been around for many years, and causes respiratory illnesses in animals, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This new strain of the virus is being called the 2019 novel coronavirus. Deaths, experts say, have mostly been the elderly or those with underlying health conditions. There’s something primordially horrifying of the prospect of disease, and despite our modern sensibilities we still have not eclipsed that fear. There was swine flu during 2008 and 2009. There was Ebola in 2018. However, the coronavirus is not something to simply tune out. The death toll has now exceeded 132 persons, all of them in China, and there have been a reported approximately 4,500 cases confirmed, with some scientists saying the number of infections could be higher. That is not to say these diseases do not kill people, nor that they did not have to be met by concerted efforts of government and civilian medical professionals. But panicked reactions to such outbreaks rarely help. Factcheck.org posted its own data points of misinformation spread about the virus, with some on social media inaccurately saying there are 10s or 100s of thousands dead, when that’s simply not true or at all confirmed. The U.S. has already strongly suggested canceling any nonessential visits to China. Transport within the epicenter for the virus is already heavily restricted by Chinese officials. The CDC has said the virus can travel from person to person, so the agency has suggested that if one must travel, then they should avoid contact with obviously sick people, as well as with animals, both alive or dead, and animal markets. A person traveling should also wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or with hand sanitizer if no soap is available. Of course, we at TBR News Media will try to keep abreast of any new developments of the disease from the local angle and put any such updates on our website, but we also ask you don’t let the fear kill you, body and mind.

Letters … We welcome your letters. They should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste. We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation. Email letters to rita@tbrnewsmedia.com or mail them to The Village Times Herald, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733.

The second Salsa Fundraiser to help Puerto Rico’s recovery efforts after Hurricane Maria was held Dec. 8 at The Bates House in Setauket. This event was a unique, collaborative effort, focusing on long-term restoration and environmental sustenance for Puerto Rico. We could not have had such a successful afternoon without the support of many community members. Thanks to your generosity, we raised $9,469 for The Ocean Foundation. Most of these funds will be applied toward mangrove restoration which help to maintain water quality, create a natural protection against future storms, and provide a healthy habitat for marine life to prosper. A portion will also be applied toward a community workshop to be held at El Jobos Bay, Puerto Rico, to educate and encourage youth and community participation in restorative projects. It is an honor that you have participated in this special fundraising effort and have contributed to promoting a healthier and

more viable ecosystem for Puerto Rico. If you’d like to learn more about The Ocean Foundation, please visit www. oceanfdn.org. We realize that there are many worthwhile organizations deserving of your valued time and monetary donations; thus, we extend heartfelt thanks and much gratitude to all guests and local businesses who very generously donated. A special thank you to the Promise of Hope Foundation that offered infinite encouragement and expertise in organizing this memorable event. To learn more about the POH, please visit www.promiseofhopefoundation.org. Feedback regarding the Salsa Fundraiser has been so positive; many of you took the time to tell us how inspired you were and how much fun you had learning to salsa dance. If you are interested in hosting or contributing to the third Salsa Fundraiser, which will focus on postearthquake efforts, please send an email to lizkdinaz@gmail.com.

We hope to count on your generosity again and will share details when the time draws near. With the latest heartbreaking disaster that has struck Puerto Rico, continued support is very much needed. Please visit https://www.friendsofpuertorico. org/donate to offer immediate postearthquake assistance. The Seed Fund has been created by the nonprofit organization Friends of Puerto Rico to allow for children who have lost their schools to continue their education by identifying new, safe locations for learning and providing educational materials and items lost in the schools due to the earthquake as well as providing healthy meals and supporting mentors and extracurricular activities. Again, we can’t thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. Liz Kotseas De Lucia Tammy Colletti Danny Rodriguez Salsa Fundraiser organizers

Zeldin Benefits Himself Not Taxpayers It was enlightening to see Congressman Lee Zeldin’s [R-NY1] letter in The Village Times Herald [“Condemn AntiSemitism,” Jan. 16]. This means that he is still around ... somewhere. When he first became a congressman, I contacted his office and invited him to speak to the adult class I teach. I never received a response. That was a clue. Back then, I actually believed that he might at least pretend to advocate for the citizens of our district. I didn’t realize that his first official act would be to go into hiding from the very people he is supposed to represent. His second official act was to go full sycophant by doing everything and anything possible to ingratiate himself

with President [Donald] Trump [R] so that he could ultimately benefit himself, not we taxpayers. (Please, cut this letter out and post it on your refrigerator … then wait and see if I’m wrong.) Zeldin had no problem with the chronic lying, the sexual abuse — this newspaper surely won’t even print the words — the porn payoff, the handicap mocking, the criminal convictions of the swamp creatures, the disparagement of military people who were caught, tortured, or killed, the bone spurs, the promised tax returns that never materialized, the historic abuse of the emoluments clause, the family Walmarting of the White House, the mugging of our environment, the tax cuts designed overwhelmingly for the ninefigure wealthy, the assault on health care,

the congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine played like a swap meet, the degrading of school lunches, and yes, the racist and anti-Semitic support and remarks … which makes Zeldin’s letter rather ironic. Many Congress people, including the very Republican Peter King, are trying to reverse the tax change that not only limits the state and local income tax deduction for Long Islanders, it has also lowered the market value of our homes … but not ambitious Lee. I will eagerly vote for and support anyone, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, who rids the 1st Congressional District of this self-serving opportunist. Bruce Stasiuk Setauket

Taking Over Empty Stores Difficult After reading the Jan. 23 TBR News Media editorial “Fill in the Spaces,” I see no reason why anyone would want to try to take over an empty store in the Town of

Brookhaven. Besides the high taxes, they have to deal with the town’s regulations. I hear many stories how it has cost thousands of additional dollars once

the town inspectors come in even after approval. David Jacobson South Setauket

Opinion

Top 10 Republican Solutions to the Bolton Problem

hat should the Republicans do about former National Security Adviser John Bolton? In this topsy-turvy battle in Washington, Bolton has become a lightning bolt with his claims about his recent boss, President Donald Trump (R). So, the Republicans, particularly under Trump, have a playbook for dealing with disaffected former D. None staffers. That’s not terribly surprisof the above ing, given that the BY DANIEL DUNAIEF president’s previous job involved letting people know that, “You’re ﬁred!” Here are my top 10 options for dealing with Bolton. 10. Pretend no one knew him and that he

wasn’t signiﬁcant. The president has used that approach with other people with varying levels of success. The problem is that there were far too many pictures and meetings. For crying out loud, the guy was the national security adviser. Disavowing any knowledge or contact with him strains the willing suspension of disbelief required for so many other excuses. Let’s pass on that one. 9. Claim he’s trying to make money on a book. That’s what some have suggested, ignoring that he might be trying to make money and be telling the truth. 8. Insist that the book is a national security threat. That’s a technique the president has said he’d use to keep everyone else from testifying during his hotly contested impeachment trial. 7. Suggest that Trump would “love” to have him testify, but that someone else — a lawyer, a member of the FBI or CIA, or someone in the shadows who the president and his staff feel has a valid argument — has suggested that his testifying would destroy the Constitution, ruin the presidency or alter the course of history in

a negative way for everyone. 6. Create a new, outlandish and riveting conspiracy theory. Maybe he’s still John Bolton, but the Democrats, and in particular House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, got a hold of him and somehow ﬁgured out how to reprogram him. This is doubly delicious, like a cheeseburger with extra bacon, deep fried in lard, because it unites Bolton with Pelosi and suggests that he’s lying and has sold his soul to a lower form of political being. 5. Develop a diversion. (Don’t you love alliteration?) Come up with a Mideast peace plan, a Chinese trade policy, a cure for coronavirus or a way to provide energy that removes the hippy-dippy greenhouse gases and cools the Earth. The short attention spans will seize on this as the one and only part of the news that’s worth covering. Surely, with all the events of the world, the drama, the excitement and the immediate need to feed the news beast, there must be some way to send eyeballs elsewhere, turning Bolton into an afterthought.

4. Ban anyone with a bushy, white mustache from entering the Senate chamber. The Democrats and all their supporters picked on Bolton mercilessly when he became national security adviser, focusing on his facial hair. Surely it’s fair to suggest that this deﬁning characteristic makes him untrustworthy? 3. Give him the wrong time and day to show up. When he doesn’t arrive, suggest that he must have had a change of heart and it’s time to move on with a process that has a predetermined ending anyway. 2. Someone to whom Bolton lied could claim that the former national security adviser didn’t always tell the truth, which would undermine anything Bolton claimed the president said. 1. Let him testify. Bolton was always part of a Republican plan anyway. Once Republicans allow him to come before the Senate, he can deny the “leaks,” undermining the credibility of the media and the Democrats. In return, he can get another position, like maybe an ambassadorship?

Invitation to Our Readers: Come to the Party!

ere is our first invitation for you in the new year. You are cordially invited to a lovely reception at the historic Three Village Inn in Stony Brook village next Wednesday, Feb. 5, from 6 to 8 p.m., during which time we will honor the first prizewinners of our TBR Readers’ Choice 2019 contest. Tickets are $60 a person. Last year we asked you to fill in a questionnaire telling us your favorite businesses and professionals in some 100 categories, ranging from accountant, attorney and acupuncturist Between through the alphabet you and me to winery, women’s clothing, yoga stuBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF dio and veterinarian. We supplied you with an entry form, a full page in our six newspapers — and only in our newspapers rath-

er than on our website and social media — to encourage you to pick up the newspapers and see what you have been missing if you have only been reading us online. That meant you had to mail in or bring in the completed entry forms to our ofﬁce, an added task in this age of transactions routinely completed over the internet. Most of the entries were mailed in via the U.S. Postal Service, what we have come to call “snail mail.” We didn’t know what to expect. To our delight, we received 2,525 nominations over the course of the weeks the contest ran. After we tabulated the responses from Huntington, Greenlawn and Northport, Smithtown, Kings Park, St. James and Lake Grove, Port Jefferson and Port Jefferson Station, Sound Beach, Rocky Point and Miller Place, Yaphank and Centereach, Stony Brook and Setauket and more, we were delighted to publish the winners in a special supplement at the close of the year. Now we are celebrating those “No. 1’s” at the aforementioned reception next Wednesday evening. In addition to the individual businesses and services, we are celebrating much more.

TIMES BEACON RECORD NEWS MEDIA We welcome letters, photographs, comments and story ideas. Send your items to P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733 or email rita@tbrnewsmedia.com.

We are proudly calling attention to the fact that retail is not dead. That newspapers are not dead. That the Post Office is not dead. That communities, of which businesses are a central part, are vibrant. And that shopping locally is an important part of our residents lives. I think we made a point. Several points, in fact. Now comes “Thank You.” Thank You to all who took the time to express their appreciation for their favorite businesses, business owners and managers by sending in the entries. Thank You to those business owners and professionals who faithfully serve their clientele — the winners and the many who were also nominated but perhaps lost by a vote or two. We are mentioning the latter group in this week’s issue with their own supplement. And Thank You to the fabulous staff of Times Beacon Record for the many hours they put in to tabulate the results, design and send out invitations and certificates, field calls asking for information and countless other tasks, including selling advertising in support of the effort to salute local shopping. So consider these two supplements — the winners and those also nominated — as lists of preferred local establishments whose services

come recommended. And think of others who might have been improperly overlooked but who can be voted in for the Best of 2020. While you are thinking, come to the party. There will be music, lights, camera, action and, of course, food. A red carpet will be provided for the winners to walk on as they come to the podium for their framed certiﬁcates. They will be videoed and then shown on our website for the next couple of months, photographed and appear in subsequent editions of our newspapers and otherwise be toasted. Best of all, this is another chance for the community to get together and enjoy each other. We, as the publishers of the community newspapers and digital media, work to enhance the sense of community in the areas we serve. This is the ﬁrst of several events we plan to offer you this year. We hope to see you, our readers, the winners, those also nominated, the many who sent in the nominations, and other members of the neighborhood at the party. Valet parking will be provided. Go to our website, tbrnewsmedia. com, or call us at 631-751-7744 and order tickets now. Thank You.
