Richard Panico is a behind-the-scenes kind of guy.

So it took some convincing when Friends of Karen wanted to honor Panico, a Miller Place resident, for his charitable nature during its third annual Long Island Gala on Friday, Dec. 4, at the Stonebridge Country Club in Smith-town. The organization’s regional direc-tor, Nancy Mariano, approached Panico earlier this year, asking to spotlight him at the event. Initially, he wasn’t thrilled with the idea.

“I read this somewhere [that] if more than one person knows you did a good deed, it’s no longer a good deed,” Panico said. “So … to me it’s just not necessary to have that kind of ego.”

Panico got involved with Friends of Karen three years ago when he purchased the building out of which the organi-zation operates on Perry Street in Port Jefferson. Currently, Panico’s company Symbio, which provides clinical trial management services for pharmaceutical companies, and Friends of Karen share the building. He turned his efforts toward helping the organization, which aims to offer emotional and financial support to families of children with life-threatening illnesses, but his efforts didn’t start with Friends of Karen.

In 2003, one year after Panico’s com-pany was established, he kickstarted its

annual bike-a-thon at Heritage Park in Mount Sinai to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It held the fundraiser for seven years and raised more than $50,000.

“It was good for the company,” said Susan Swamback, an employee of Sym-bio. “It was good for all of us to feel like a team. … He loves that.”

Swamback also helped with the annual bike-a-thon, but the fundraising stopped after the company didn’t raise as much money as it had hoped, despite its efforts.

Over the past few years, Panico has donated skin creams to families that frequent hospitals and helped one child and his family attend a New York Mets baseball game. Panico’s nephew Tom McGuire added that his uncle also tries to help his family and friends.

During the gala, Mariano said Panico “is the kindest most generous father, hus-band and friend to all.” Mariano added that the organization was proud to ac-knowledge Panico at the event.

While the gala was a means to high-light people like Panico, it also helps Friends of Karen raise awareness and money to further its mission. In the or-ganization’s 37 years, it’s helped around 5,500 sick children and their families. Panico said the organization works hard to achieve its goal and even continued his own effort to help the organization during his honoree speech.

“If you are able to donate — if you’re able to buy raffle tickets, if you’re able to [participate] in the silent auctions, that would be fantastic,” Panico said during the gala. “If you can’t … tell your friends, spread the word.”

They blazed the path and now they’re going to light the way.

With a new sidewalk already paved along Highlands Boulevard, keeping pe-destrians out of the road, Port Jefferson officials are now working on installing streetlights on the route.

The village board of trustees on Mon-day approved spending $28,000 for Flushing-based Welsbach Electric Corp. to put in eight decorative streetlight poles and light fixtures along the wind-ing sidewalk, between the entrance to the Highlands condominiums and Oakland Avenue in uptown Port Jefferson.

That dollar figure is higher than an original $17,000 cost approved in August. Mayor Margot Garant explained at Mon-day’s board meeting that the village needs more lighting than initially expected.

“We had originally contemplated put-ting three Dickens lanterns in,” she told the trustees, referring to the antique-style streetlights the village uses. But the “village lanterns are not known for their best illumination. So if we were to light [it] properly, it would need one Dickens lantern every 50 feet.”

However, the bumped-up expense,

which will come out of the village’s sur-plus if the public works department budget cannot cover it, does not rep-resent the entire lighting cost for the stretch of sidewalk. That price tag would have been “more than we have in the budget,” Trustee Larry LaPointe said.

Instead the village will put in the eight streetlights, 150 feet apart, according to Garant. “Just to give it some light at this point in time, and then we can fill in as we continue to go.”

The streetlights will use LED bulbs.The new roughly 0.2-mile sidewalk

on Highlands Boulevard has been in the works for a while, with the idea first com-ing up a few years ago, when residents coordinated an effort to petition the gov-ernment to preserve the village-owned grassy area along the road. It was discussed as a safety issue because pedestrians had to walk in the street to get from the condos to the uptown business district.

Board members approved a parkland designation for the 6-acre grassy parcel earlier this year, a move that limits the land’s future use or development. Village officials have discussed the possibility of adding benches or walking paths there, but have expressed a desire to keep the park’s use passive.

campaign event in May. right, durko promotes the revitalized annual

Walk for Beauty event with help from her classmates.

By Phil corSo

She has Three Village roots,

but her reach has spanned

across the entire North Shore.

And she hasn’t even graduated

high school yet.Kyra Durko, a Ward Mel-

ville senior and member of

the dominant girls fencing

team, has become an up-

and-coming community star,

spearheading one of the area’s

largest annual events while

still excelling in her studies

and extracurricular activities.

Her impact on our society at

such a young age is among the

reasons she is selected as one

of the Village Times Herald’s

People of the Year.Durko, 17, used her role as

president of the high school’s

Key Club to completely revi-

talize the community’s an-

nual Walk for Beauty event.

She led what other organizers

called an unprecedented level

of involvement from students

at her school as well as those

from neighboring districts.

Durko helped recruit sev-

eral high school music groups

to perform alongside other

Long Island bands at the

event and teamed up with

groups like the Ward Melville

National Art Honor Society

to paint signs and beautify

the path of the walk, which is

sponsored by The Ward Mel-

ville Heritage Organization.

“We wanted to get the high

school more involved than ever

before,” Durko said in an in-

terview earlier this year. “A lot

of people are getting excited

about it now.”Durko helped add new fea-

tures to the event, including

a special Color Splash walk,

on which participants are

dusted with a rainbow of col-

ored powders as they make

their way to the finish line.

She also launched a subgroup,

the Walk for Beauty Ambas-

sadors, to push the event’s

ambitions even further, creat-

ing a network of students from

local high schools, including

Port Jefferson, Smithtown,

Shoreham-Wading River, Half

Hollow Hills, Walt Whitman,

Harborfields, Centereach,

Comsewogue and more.“Kyra was a true breath of

fresh air for all of us,” said

Gloria Rocchio, president of

WMHO. “She came onto our

committee and worked so hard

to pull together so many dif-

ferent parts of the community.

She’s an extraordinary young

lady and she will go very far.”

Rocchio met Durko after

Suffolk County Legislator

Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), a

member of the WMHO com-

mittee, sought out the girl

while paying a visit to Ward

Melville High School, looking

to bring her in on planning the

Walk for Beauty.Hahn first met Durko

through her role with the Key

Club and said she saw an im-

mediate opportunity. The two

worked together on new ideas

for the annual walk, and Hahn

said she saw Durko’s ambition

and creativity right away.“We put the Key Club in

charge of some things, and she

was just extraordinary,” Hahn

Young student makes strong impression on North Shore community

DURKO continued on page A22

‘She went above

and beyond to

spearhead so many

things related to this.

Her organizational

skills are phenomenal.

The list goes on and on.

The things she

has taken on to help

with this event are

really amazing.’

Want to learn how to use Narcan, the medication that stops an opioid overdose in its tracks? Training courses are taking place across Suffolk County over the next couple of months, including in Port Jef-ferson and in neighboring Centereach.

Narcan, the brand name of naloxone, blocks receptors in the brain to stop overdoses of drugs like heroin, Vicodin, Percocet, OxyContin or Demerol, among others. It can be administered through a nasal spray and will not cause harm if mistakenly given to someone who is not suffering an opioid overdose.

The local training sessions meet state health requirements, according to the Suf-folk County Department of Health Ser-vices, and will teach trainees to recognize opioid overdoses, to administer Narcan and to take other steps until emergency medical personnel arrive on the scene. All participants will receive a certificate of completion and an emergency kit that includes Narcan.

The first course will be held on Mon-day, Dec. 14, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the county’s Office of Health Education in Hauppauge, at 725 Veterans Highway, Building C928. RSVP to 631-853-4017 or [email protected].

In Centereach, a course will take place on Friday, Jan. 15, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Middle Country library at 101 Eastwood Blvd. RSVP before Jan. 11 at [email protected] or at 631-585-9393 ext. 213.

Later that month, Hope House Min-istries will host another Narcan training session in its facility at 1 High St. in Port Jefferson, in the Sister Aimee Room. That event, held in conjunction with the Port Jefferson ambulance company, will take place on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 10 a.m. Call 631-928-2377 for more information or register at http://tinyurl.com/ppz3r4v.

Governor Cuomo - Please return Our “Disappeared” Whales to New York State’s Waters

The shallow waters that surround New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson River were once saturated with harbor porpoises, bottle-nose dolphins and pilot whales. These whales have been systematically “starved” out of New York State by the industrial overfishing of their food fish, the Atlantic menhaden (bunker).

Your NYS fisheries commissioners’ recent vote to increase the industrial overfishing of our whales’ food fish is indefensible. Please halt this indus-trial overfishing in Virginia and return our whales to New York.

Email Governor Cuomo and ask him to return New York’s whales: www.gov.newyork.gov or phone 1-518-474-8390.Comments welcome: [email protected]

The Suffolk County Police Department handed out dozens of overdose rescue kits in the Port Jefferson high school on Monday night at the conclusion of a crowded drug-abuse prevention forum geared toward educating parents.

“We have to double down on preven-tion,” said Tim Sini, a deputy county commissioner for public safety who has recently been nominated for police commissioner.

He and other officials from the police department, medical examiner’s office

and community spoke at the forum to inform parents about the dangers of drug abuse, including how kids get in-troduced to and hooked on drugs in the first place. Much of the discussion focused on opioid drugs, which include heroin as well as prescription painkillers like Vicodin and Percocet, and on the lifesaving Narcan, an anti-overdose medication that blocks opioid receptors in the brain and can stop an overdose of those types of drugs.

According to Dr. Scott Coyne, the SCPD’s chief surgeon and medical di-rector, in the three years since Suffolk officers have been trained to adminis-ter Narcan — the well-known brand name for naloxone — they have used it successfully 435 times.

Attendees who stayed after the fo-rum were able to register in the police department’s public Narcan program and receive a kit with two doses of the medication, which can be sprayed into an overdose victim’s nostrils.

It was 74 years ago that the Japanese attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor, spurring the nation’s entry into World War II. At the helm of the Amer-ican military on that deadly day was Gen. George C. Marshall, and it was up to this outspoken man to take a military of 175,000 — which was ranked 17th out of all the industrialized powers — and turn the troops into a tre-mendous force of 10.4 million to defeat Germany and Japan.

From the moment he entered the Army in 1902, Marshall ex-celled at every task assigned to him. Unlike many of the West Point officers he commanded during World War II, he gradu-ated from the Virginia Military Institute. His peers thought Marshall’s quiet and firm man-ner suited him for vital positions of military responsibility, and he held several different jobs in the Army, served in the Philippines

and graduated first from the Army staff college in Fort Leav-enworth, Kansas.

During the United States’ earliest moments in France in World War I, Marshall had a famous encounter with Ameri-can Expeditionary Forces Com-mander Gen. John J. Pershing. When, upon finding the Army was not prepared for the burden of warfare on the Western Front, Pershing criticized his officers for not doing enough training, Marshall told Pershing that he did not understand the problems his soldiers faced daily and they were doing the best that could be expected of them. At first, Mar-shall believed he’d be sent home in disgrace; instead Pershing re-spected his honesty and clarity and eventually made him a main planner of American war opera-tions against the Germans.

Years later, in the late 1930s, Marshall showed his leadership again when he sat in on a meeting with then-President Franklin D.

Roosevelt and influential mem-bers of both his cabinet and the military. When Roosevelt out-lined a plan of adding planes to the Army Air Forces but virtu-ally no other resources to the Army, all of the leaders remained quiet or supported the president. Marshall, on the other hand, an-gered Roosevelt by vehemently disagreeing with him. But a year later, Marshall, who was a junior to many other officers, was pro-moted to Army chief of staff.

Knowing war was a young man’s game, Marshall reassigned, fired or retired older officers who he knew were not able to fight a modern war. One of his most important choices was making one lieutenant colonel, Dwight D. Eisenhower, into an important member of his staff. While he never directly served with this of-ficer, he was constantly informed that Eisenhower was one of the most well-rounded leaders in the military. He saw Eisenhower as a capable officer only interested in completing his duty. Marshall also elevated Gen. Omar N. Bradley to command the ground forces in Europe from D-Day to Germany’s surrender in 1945. It was Mar-shall’s manner not to dwell on the personal characteristics of his key

HISTORY

‘We must have the very best leadership we can possibly give these men and we’ve stopped at nothing to produce that leadership.’

— Gen. GeorGe C. Marshall, World War II arMy ChIef of staff

Marshall built up Army

leaders. This was the case with the erratic but brilliant combat fighter Gen. George S. Patton. Marshall stood by Patton throughout some of his troubles due to the strong belief that Patton would con-tinually earn battlefield victories against the enemy.

From the time he became Army chief of staff, Marshall was determined to prepare his nation for the rigors of war. He drafted, trained, equipped and over-saw the total war efforts of the United States to defeat fascism, conducting all of those efforts in a professional manner, not

seeking any credit for his mas-sive contributions in the defense of his country. Marshall should be credited, however, with estab-lishing a new army, command structure and strategy to con-duct military operations against Germany and Japan. In a short period of time, he helped the United States attain a victory in an important war.

POLICE BLOTTER Incidents and arrests from Dec. 3-6

CuttingOn Dec. 6, a 39-year-old man from

Port Jefferson was arrested for harass-ment. The man was standing on Main Street in Port Jefferson and had a ma-chete in his pants. Police said the man pointed the machete toward his own throat and made a cutting motion.

Heroin rides shotgunA 38-year-old woman from East Se-

tauket was arrested on Dec. 5 for crimi-nal possession of a controlled substance. Police said officials pulled the woman over between Main Street and Dayton Avenue in Port Jefferson Station for an unknown reason, then discovered she was in possession of heroin. The drug was on the front passenger seat of the woman’s 2005 Ford. Police arrested her at the scene.

It’s not my asphaltOn Dec. 3, police arrested a 19-year-

old man from Port Jefferson for robbery

and criminal mischief, after police said he threw someone to the ground and stole their wallet near the Pax Christi Hospitality Center on Oakland Avenue in Port Jefferson. The man also threw a piece of asphalt at the building and broke one of its windows. Police arrested the man on Linden Place.

Heads and tailsPolice arrested a 38-year-old man

from Mount Sinai on Dec. 6 for driv-ing while ability impaired while going east on Route 25A in Mount Sinai. Police pulled the man over because his Volk-swagen Jetta’s headlights and taillights weren’t working. Officials discovered the man was under the influence and arrest-ed him at the scene.

On Nov. 21, a Youth Ocean Con-servation Summit, organized by the acclaimed environmental organiza-tion Coastal Steward, brought nearly 50 concerned students from some 20 Long Island high schools together in the Wang Center at Stony Brook Uni-versity and challenged them to take seriously the importance of not only Planet Earth, but also “Planet Ocean.”

In the words of Bill Wise, the New York Sea Grant director and a co-spon-sor of the event, “Our oceans are expe-riencing the largest extinction event in Earth’s history. The acidity of the oceans is rising, the coral reefs are dying, and the climate is changing. Your genera-tion must dare to think and learn about this and take action. There is no more important task. Begin the journey.”

He was followed by the keynote speaker Fabien Cousteau, the grandson of French undersea explorer, photogra-pher, writer and inventor of diving and scuba gear Jacques Cousteau.

Fabien Cousteau has followed in his grandfather’s footsteps, having just completed a record 31 days underwater.

“What we do to save the oceans in the next 10 years,” he said, “will determine our future for the next 10,000 years. People protect what they love. Learn to love the ocean. Water is the most pre-cious thing on Earth. It is our future. So far we have done 100 years of ocean exploration and have explored only 5 percent of it. Bond to your ocean planet. Teach yourself to double the time you can hold your breath. Go diving. It’s a magical world.”

He showed pictures of his grandfather, who had built a “village” underwater in 1963. People lived there, 65 feet down.

“You lose some of your [sense of] smell and taste, but your hair grows faster and infections heal faster,” he said.

The speaker said underwater crea-tures are in danger: “They say that 30 percent of sea life is gone. We bring back data on the health of corals and sponges from day to day. We are exploring un-known reefs and need as much help as possible. America is setting up national marine sanctuaries, but only 3 percent of the reefs are protected today. Can we make that 15 percent by the end of the decade?”

Cousteau ended by telling the stu-dents, “We believe in you. You can have a profound effect on the future.”

A panel discussion on marine con-servation issues in New York followed. Speakers included Wise, as well as Debra Abercrombie, a shark expert; Nathan Epler, a hydrogeologist; and Lauren Henry from Surfriders, a grass roots organization committed to pro-tecting oceans, waves and beaches. Mel Morris from Brookhaven National Laboratory also explained the concept of “citizen science and stewardship.”

Most impressive was Sean Russell, the student who pioneered the concept of youth ocean conservation summits five years ago. He spoke of events that have already been held in cities across the country.

After a much-needed lunch break, the students framed projects of their own that were practical. The day ended on a high note as those were presented. Most concentrated on removing one-use plastic water bottles from their schools by designing and selling multi-use bottles, then using the profits to cre-ate filling stations in school halls. One group talked about making a video of a beach before and after a beach clean-up.

All exhibited a caring and compas-sionate connection to the environment. Expect another summit next year.

PERSPECTIVES

Your turnBY KathY O’Sullivan

Caring for our oceans

BY GiSelle BarKleY

What really did happen last night?That’s what audiences will figure out

in writer and director Candice Cain’s film “What Happened Last Night,” an independent film that puts a spin on and takes a comedic approach to breakups, new flames, friends and college life. The film retraces the steps of a group of college students after a fraternity party and opens with main characters Sarah and Danny, played by Alix Kermes and Clayton Snyder.

Brookhaven resident Cain brought her cast and crew to Long Island on Nov. 28 and started filming a bar scene at the Long Island Pour House in Port Jefferson Sta-tion. Although the film focuses on college students, actress Rebecca Boughton said there’s something for everyone, whether in high school, college or adulthood.

“It’s just very relatable because it’s a story about relationships,” Boughton said. “It’s about coming of age and figuring out who you are and what you want to do with your life.”

Boughton plays Laila, a pretentious advisor for the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. While Boughton is a member of the so-rority in real life, that’s not the only thing that attracted her to the film. She and the cast agree that Cain’s script has natural dialogue, making the interaction between characters realistic.

“You know she comes from a theater background,” actor Jake Thomas said. “It’s a very long script, but it does flow very quickly because the dialogue just jumps from one thing to another.”

Like many of the cast, Thomas is no stranger to the stage. As a kid, he played alongside Hilary Duff as Lizzie McGuire’s little brother Matt on the 2001 Dis-ney television series of the same name. Thomas is making an appearance in Cain’s film as Dave, the main character’s ex-boyfriend. Snyder, who played Ethan Craft on the same Disney Channel show, recommended the production to Thomas.

Cain wrote the story in three days, when she was a 19-year-old George Washington University student. The idea came about after she woke up at a friend’s place after attending a party the night before. Cain was sick during the party and took Nyquil

before attending, and her friend allowed her to stay overnight after alcohol spilled on Cain and soaked her clothing. She woke up to the smell of bacon but couldn’t im-mediately remember where she was.

“I started thinking to myself, ‘What if there was someone in bed with me and I woke up? How would I have reacted?’” Cain recalled.

The writer and director performed her story at her university’s theater, acting as Sarah. Two decades later, this past April, Cain found the script in her basement.

“Everyone who’s been in a relationship knows that breakups suck,” Kermes said. “They’re hard especially in college when you start thinking about your future.”

Big name stars like Amber Rose and WWE wrestler David Otunga, who’s en-gaged to singer Jennifer Hudson, will also appear in the film, which hits theaters next year. Otunga heard about the film through his agent and took on the role of Tiny, a large bartender who comes to the rescue of Sarah’s friend Mindy, played by Diana Durango.

“I’m really happy to be able to support independent films,” Otunga said. “I feel like these are so much fun because it’s truly about the art. It’s not super-huge budgets and everything, but we make it work and make such an awesome looking project and it’s really cool to be a part of that.”

‘In the huddle before the game, I said we have to be hungrier than they were. So we went out there and played our hardest and we left it all out on the court.’

— Nora Gabel

Girls’ basketball

By Bill laNdoN

Behind Nora Gabel’s 23 points and eight steals, the Comsewogue girls’ basketball team led coast to coast in Tuesday’s League V opener on the road at Rocky Point, turning a 9-4 lead after one quarter to a 43-22 victory.

Comsewogue con-trolled the tempo from tipoff, dominated the time of possession and hit the scoreboard over and over.

By halftime, the Warriors battled their way up to a 20-8 lead, but Comsewogue head coach Joe Caltagirone said he knew Rocky Point would be athletic, despite not

knowing how they’d be offensively.“They put a little ball pressure on us and

they contested all of our shots,” Caltagirone said of Rocky Point, adding he was pleased with how his team played defensive. “Offen-sively, I think we have a little ways to go to get to where I want to be this season.”

Despite several turnovers in the first half, the Warriors got their rhythm in the second as the team found the rim. Gabel, a

sophomore guard, lit up the scoreboard for Com-sewogue with 11 points, which included a pair of three-pointers. Rocky Point senior forward Julia Jauhiainen scored all of her five points in the third quarter, as her team trailed 33-13.

With 5:52 left in the game, Comsewogue

worked to unwind the clock, and the teams traded points as time expired.

evening, said that she was surprised by the margin of victory.

“In the huddle before the game, I said we have to be hungrier than they were,” Gabel said. “So we went out there and played our hardest and we left it all out on the court.”

Following Gabel for the Warriors was junior guard Megan Turner with seven points, and forwards Sam Collins, a junior, and Victoria Blaney, a sophomore, chipped in four points apiece.

“They’re a strong team, but I don’t think we played up to our standards,” Turner said. “Defensively we’re strong, but our offense needs a little work.”

Rocky Point senior guard Michaela Pea-cock and junior center Allyson Greenstein matched Jauhiainen with five points each.

Rocky Point head coach Scott Lindsay said Comsewogue is always a tough team to play because they’re physical and have two strong guards.

“They play a strong defense up top, which caused a little problem when they started pressing,” Lindsay said. “With our second group, I was really impressed with how they were moving the ball. We’re im-proving from game to game — they played hard the whole way and I think we’re building on something here.”

Comsewogue will host Harborfields in its first home game of the season today. A 5:45 p.m. tipoff is scheduled.

OPINION

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

EDITORIAL Protect mute swansTO ThE EDITOR:

We are appalled by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s veto, on Nov. 13, of two bills requesting a moratorium on the Department of Environmental Conservation’s plan for mute swan management. These bills had passed by overwhelming bipartisan majori-ties in both state chambers.

Make no mistake about it: the DEC management plan for mute swans is lethal. The estimated 2,200 mute swans in New York State will be reduced to a mere 800.

We commented extensively to the DEC, to the governor’s office and to Audubon New York for the last two years, itemizing deficiencies and discrepancies in both the original and revised plans. The DEC failed on every count to answer our questions. Among other items, we cited a lack of scientific evidence, inconsistencies in stated goals, outdated population counts, bias in decision-making and problematic management schemes.

One of the glaring problems in the DEC management plan is that all adult mute swans must be under municipal or private management, yet the plan fails to provide jurisdic-tion of swans living along the tidal coastlines of either Long Island or the NYC metropolitan areas. how will these swans, which swim across municipal lines, be claimed for management? Or will this point be moot, as they will be among the 1,200 shot? After all, these swans are not contained in parks and lakes.

As for the others? Groups or private individuals will have to come forward and apply to DEC to man-age them. how will the public react, however, when they realize that re-quires wing-clipping? The only adult mute swans we get to view will be

maimed, through surgical removal of at least one of their wings. Imagine observing a maimed swan attempt-ing to fly with half a wing. What message does this form of animal cruelty send to our impressionable children?

In addition, all eggs will be addled [shaken], or oiled, so there will be no more young swans in any location. What a lost opportunity to provide this easily observable window into the natural world.

By vetoing the moratorium bills, Gov. Cuomo ignored his learned legislators, including state Sen. Ken LaValle and Assemblyman Steve

Englebright, chair of the assembly’s Committee on Environmental Conservation, both of whom voted in favor of a moratorium. Instead, Gov. Cuomo bowed to the pressure of a few upstate individuals with an agenda of removing mute swans to make room for northern species of trumpeter and tundra swans, both of which are non-nesters in NYS. These two species are considered trophy birds when hunted, and we predict they will soon be on the DEC’s sea-sonal list of hunted waterfowl.

Code for successTO ThE EDITOR:

Last weekend the weather was perfect and the sun really shined on the 20th anniversary Charles Dickens Festival.

By any measure, the festival was a big success. Much credit must be given to Mayor Margot Garant, the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, Port Jefferson Village workers, The Greater Port Jefferson-Northern Brookhaven Arts Council and the many volunteers whose hard work made the festival a success.

I believe the Port Jeff Code En-forcement Bureau officers deserve to be singled out and acknowledged for their professional service during the festival. Their law enforcement background became very apparent as they worked long hours direct-ing traffic and doing their part to make sure the thousands of visitors who came to Port Jeff were safe and enjoyed the festival.

As a Port Jeff merchant I would like to thank code enforcement for a job well done.

The gift of caringIt’s easy to get wrapped up in the chaos of

shopping for holiday gifts during the December rush. Most of us are trying to get in and out of stores and malls as quickly as possible, but stay-ing a little bit longer could go a long way this holiday season if we all make an effort to buy just one more present.

It doesn’t have to be a big one, like a video game console — although we’re sure nobody would mind that — but we could all buy just one more gift and donate it to a child in need through a local church or charity. There are kids whose parents simply cannot afford gifts, or live in domestic violence shelters, or don’t have par-ents at all. Those kids deserve a little happiness, too, to know that they are part of a community and that there are other people out there who care about them. We could also consider donat-ing a gift to a hospital or a nursing home, where there could sometimes be people without family to remember them during the holidays.

Many local schools raise money to donate toys to those who are less fortunate. The Students Against Drunk Driving club at Mount Sinai, for example, raised money for holiday Magic (631-265-7200), a not-for-profit organization that dedicates itself to making the holidays special for less fortunate children and their families. The club raised more than $7,000 and went shop-ping at Walmart and the Smith haven Mall to purchase gifts for 67 children.

We, too, could look beyond ourselves and make our community better this holiday season.

There are strangers all around us who need a friend. Let’s make a difference in one of their lives during the season of giving.

Trying to see the good in all God’s children

Is there divine in all of us, or only in the people who share our religion? If your God, my

God, anyone’s God, created the Earth and all the people, animals and planets on it, then does She want those who are true believ-ers to annihilate and destroy the other people She created because they don’t believe in Her?

What? You don’t think God could be female? That’s a topic

for another column. Recently, I read about a charitable act. At the end of the article, I saw that people were commenting about how that charity could only come from someone of their reli-gion — I’m not going to indicate what religion it was.

The commentors were con-vinced that it couldn’t have come from someone who followed a different religious discipline. Why? If there are elements to ourselves that are a combina-tion of destroyers and builders, lovers and haters, sinners and saints, why should something extraordinary or even inspira-tional be limited to one religion?

Couldn’t everyone’s God speak through or act through one person, regardless of his background or religion, to in-spire others to greater heights, to do something incredibly ben-eficial to his or her fellow hu-man beings without selecting only those people who go to the right building, speak the right language and follow the right

religious practices? Maybe we need to close our eyes to see the divine in everyone.

Religion has this way of bringing out the best in us and, at times, the worst. We some-times feel that we’ve received some message from a divine being who tells us that we must right the wrongs of people who are outside our religous group. Centuries after the Crusades, humans still resort to weapons to make our point with those who have other religious beliefs.

I understand the fear, es-pecially in an era when every politician with national aspi-rations describes a boogeyman (or woman). I also understand the reality that there are peo-ple bent on destroying us and that we can’t go naively into that good night, imagining we live in a utopian world where we can ignore threats. It’s real and it dominates the headlines every day.

This isn’t about the extreme cases, where we have to be

vigilant against killers who, for whatever reason, feel they are doing something important in their lives by killing others be-fore dying. That doesn’t seem like much of a way to honor anyone’s God.

This is about the way we re-late to each other and the way we think of religious groups outside our own. Why should something spectacular or in-credible have to originate from the mind or heart of someone from our religion?

Turning this around, do you like everyone in your church, temple or mosque? Do you rou-tinely sit during services and feel a universal kindred spirit with everyone in that room that you don’t feel with the people in your child’s classroom at school, at your daughter’s ballet recital or at a concert where the music seems to echo around the room long after our kids have stopped strumming?

Would you randomly pick a name out of the hat at your

house of worship and be equally thrilled to host any of those peo-ple in your home for a week, a night or even a long dinner?

Religion can offer us a chance to see and imagine that the best is yet to come in any-one around us. We don’t have to give up our own religion and it doesn’t lessen our religion to believe that something spec-tacular lies just beneath the surface of another person pass-ing by us, even if that person doesn’t share our religion.

If we are all God’s children, wouldn’t She (or He) want us to put more effort into getting along with our siblings?

Delightful seasonal and cultural events to savor

This past weekend started for me with a stellar perfor-mance, as usual, by the Em-

erson String Quartet at the Staller Center on the Stony Brook Univer-sity campus. This marvelous string ensemble comes to us directly from Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Cen-ter or at any given time, from other musical capitals in the world. They are, incredibly for us, in residence at Stony Brook and as part of the deal struck with SBU past president, Shirley Kenny, they give four per-formances a year here.

The quartet features Eugene

Drucker and Philip Setzer, who alternate at first and second violin, Lawrence Dutton on the viola, and now Paul Watkins, who replaced David Finckel in 2013, playing the cello. The original group formed when they were students at Juil-liard, then turned professional in 1976, and in the course of their ca-reer they have released more than 30 albums and won nine Gram-mys along with the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize. They were inducted into the Classical Music Hall of Fame in 2010.

Friday night, they played two selections by Haydn and two by Beethoven. Attending their con-certs is made even more delightful for not having to drive more than a few minutes from door to door and being assured of convenient and free parking upon arrival. The audience routinely gives them a standing ovation.

Moving onto the next day, three friends and I joined up to view the 37th annual Candlelight House Tour, traditionally held on Friday evenings and Saturday daytimes, and made possible as a fundraiser by the hard work of the Three Vil-lage Historical Society. Members

take care of the myriad of details from selecting to decorating the homes, along with professional help made possible by local con-tributions. Each year homeown-ers graciously allow hundreds of visitors to traipse through their rooms, checking out the decor and listening to the history ex-plained many times over during the day by society members and helpers. This year the homes were centered in Old Stony Brook, and the weather cooperated magnifi-cently. Many of us well remember in past years waiting in line to en-ter the homes in subfreezing, or snowy, or rainy or sharply windy days. Sunny Saturday was a Goldi-locks day for touring: not too cold, not too hot, just right.

And if house tours are your thing, the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce has worked hard to organize the Lantern Light House Tour, this year centered in Harbor Hills. Also a fundraiser, the event is scheduled for this Saturday, Dec. 12, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Like the one in Three Village, the tour is very much a community effort with generous contributions of time and financial backing.

As if this weren’t enough activ-ity for a satisfying weekend, we en-joyed the lighting of the splendid Christmas tree on the Stony Brook Village Green, sponsored as usual, by The Ward Melville Heritage Or-ganization Sunday night. WMHO has been happily celebrating its 75th anniversary throughout this past year. On Jan. 19, there will be a special anniversary commemo-ration of the night Ward Melville hosted a dinner at the Three Vil-lage Inn for the owners of the sundry shops and unveiled his plans for the first shopping mall in America, a crescent village on the hill overlooking Stony Brook Har-bor. After much good food and drink, the shop owners agreed to join the effort. The result was the picturesque Stony Brook Vil-lage Center, designed by architect Richard Haviland Smythe that we enjoy now, three quarters of a cen-tury later.

The ongoing vibrancy of the village was further illustrated by the ribbon-cutting party later that evening at the site of the latest business to join the Stony Brook shopping center. Blue Salon & Spa, formerly Legends, welcomed

guests, who devoured delicious hors d’oeuvres provided by owner, Cathy Hansen, in her newly reno-vated salon. It was a symbolic end to the evening’s festivities.

Meanwhile in the other di-rection, Port Jefferson Village offered the Dickens festival last Saturday and Sunday for the 20th year. Originally the brainchild of former mayor, Jeanne Garant, churches, schools, the theater, stores and restaurants all joined together to transform the village into a Dickensian wonderland, re-plete with 19th century characters walking the streets and engaging the public. (And throughout De-cember you may stop at Santa’s Workshop, a brilliant creation of the talented Pat Darling.) Encour-aged by the wonderful weather, visitors came out in droves to the festival, putting Port Jefferson on the map as the glorious destina-tion village that it is.

Sunny Saturday was a Goldilocks day for

touring: not too cold, not too hot, just right.
