Inside Quarantine: Port Jeff Native Shares Experience from Italy to Isolation BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In little more than a week, Port Jefferson native Devin Rotunno’s life has been turned upside down, and though the coronavirus pandemic has impacted many, for students studying overseas, recent events have been dramatic. On Tuesday, March 3, Rotunno was in Florence, Italy, studying fashion among the great Renaissance-era domed cathedrals and aged orange-tile roofed buildings. By late Saturday, March 7, she was back in the U.S., holed up in a small dorm room in Stony Brook University’s Southampton campus. In quarantine, she’s only allowed to go outside her room to go to the bathroom or to pick up her food from the lobby. She is on a floor with two other students, but none are allowed out together at the same time. When out, they must wear a mask at all times. “If you asked me last week, Tuesday, if I would be leaving, I would have literally thought you were crazy,” she said. Still, as the days drag by, the 19-year-old has had to find ways to fill the time — a full 14 days of quarantine before she’s finally out March 21. Experts have said COVID-19 has a two-week gestation period, and she is among well over 150 people in quarantine in Suffolk County, both
mandatory and voluntary. As a first-year student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, being taught at the Polimoda International Institute of Fashion Design and Marketing in Florence had been an incredible experience. On March 3, Italy had yet to institute its nationwide shutdown, and Rotunno said she had seen people still living their lives as they had just a month before, however with a few more people were being cautious by wearing masks and gloves. Late Wednesday, March 4, that all changed. Students studying abroad received emails from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security telling them they had to leave and return to the U.S. They were given a day to pack their things and either book flights themselves or take a flight guaranteed by the federal government. When the freshman college student received the news, she was working on a midterm project. “Our program director — she knew how much we wanted to stay — she was figuring out online classes for us,” Rotunno said. The students in her class handed in all their assignments, even if they weren’t fully done. The students boarded a Delta flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport, just around 70 kids from SUNY schools together on the flight. When they landed, instead of being taken through the airport proper, they were led to a hanger where

two buses awaited them. The majority went on one bus to SUNY Brockport. The fashion student went on the other bus, where students who said they were self-quarantining were dropped off at Stony Brook University’s main campus, while the rest were taken to the Southampton location, arriving there Saturday, March 7 at 11 p.m. She now lives in a suite with two people living in separate rooms across the hall from her. She speaks with them on a group text, but she doesn’t have much communication with them. Most of the time the way she knows they’re there is from
hearing them move in their rooms or their feet as they walk down the hall. “I was joking around with my friends — I was sending them pictures saying, ‘Look, I’m in the Hamptons,’ sending them a picture of the street and cars going by,” she said. For now, she’s catching up on some Netflix shows and doing work for all her classes, which are soon to be hosted online. While some of her basic lectures will likely translate easily enough, some of her classes, which have required draping and sewing, will have to be largely abstracted. It’s been hard to watch things go on from the inside of quarantine. She said friends had already booked flights to visit her in Florence for spring break, but those plans have been somewhat quashed. When President Donald Trump (R) announced a 30-day travel ban to all European countries save Great Britain and Ireland, she herself panicked as not all her stuff from Italy has yet arrived, but she said she’s received word the rest of her items should be arriving soon. Despite the initial confusion and anger of being pulled out of Italy with barely enough time to make sure her things were packed and hand in last-minute assignments, she said she understands why this is necessary. “When everything was on lockdown, it was the right decision,” she said.

Businesses React to State-Mandated Closures/Operations Limitations BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As Monday rolled around this week, and as local businesses were looking to find ways to attract customers during the ongoing coronavirus crisis, a new order handed down by New York State put most of those considerations on hold. On Monday, March 16, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) ordered many nonessential businesses to shut down, or in the case of restaurants, to lessen foot traffic and only allow takeout orders and deliveries. “Our primary goal right now is to slow the spread of this virus so that the wave of new infections doesn’t crash our health care system, and everyone agrees social distancing is the best way to do that,” Cuomo said. “I have called on the federal government to implement nationwide protocols, but in their absence, we are taking this on ourselves.” New York State, Connecticut and New Jersey will all be limiting social meetings of any sort to 50 people. Movie theaters, gyms and casinos were closed starting at 8 p.m. Monday. The governor also announced restaurants and bars will be closed to sit down service and would need to refocus on takeout. PJ Cinemas already announced closure until they, “receive further guidance from state, local and federal authorities.” All ticket sales will stay valid until they reopen. Local elected officials said the restrictions were due to people’s reports that numerous bars had high activity over the weekend, despite warnings. “We are discussing ways to make sure that it is enforced,” said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D). “We expect bars and restau-
rants will comply … by and large we’ve had great compliance from people.” Businesses and local business groups took the news with a mix of understanding and worry. Most understood the reason why the state has taken such drastic measures but could hardly fathom how this might impact them long term. The change could not just mean shuttered businesses for the next few weeks, but permanent closures. Jennifer Dzvonar, the president of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Chamber of Commerce, said local businesses are the “lifeblood of the community,” and times such as these require the community to come out in support, whether it’s ordering takeout from restaurants or buying vouchers or gift certificates. The difficulties will be severe. As people are asked to stay home, some away from work, less will have money to spend. She said service businesses, including plumbers, carpenters and the like, will be hard hit since less have the money to spend. “Businesses need as much positive reinforcement as possible,” Dzvonar said. She added businesses also often sponsor Little Leagues or other community events, so while the governor’s order is in effect such —Jane Taylor groups may have to go without for the time being. Other chamber leaders in the area wrote quickly to members to try and offer assistance. Gary Pollakusky, the president of the Rocky Point Sound Beach Chamber of Commerce, said he is especially worried about businesses shutting down permanently. “When we look at our small businesses as the lifeblood of our communities, we should be

focused on our mom and pop shops, more than ever in this time of need,” he said. Jane Taylor, the executive director of the Three Village Chamber of Commerce, said restaurants providing takeout meals is a good bridge until business returns to normal, but, “There is no question that our local businesses and restaurants are going to face challenges.” The Village of Port Jefferson declared a state of emergency March 16, after both the state and Suffolk County declared theirs. As of Tuesday, March 17, Village Hall and all village-owned facilities are closed to the public. Further board of trustee meetings will be held remotely, along with the budget presentation that was planned for March 30. The executive order only ends after a further order from the village mayor. According to Mayor Margot Garant, the executive order allows code enforcement to enforce the new restrictions on businesses. “The only thing we can do is ask residents
to continue to support the local businesses,” she said, adding those stores are “going to adapt, they will find means to keep those businesses viable.” The mayor added she is reaching out to Suffolk County to see if they wished to set up a child care program in the village center for emergency service workers and child care providers. In an email to chamber members, Mary Joy Pipe, the president of the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, said industry-area attractions, hotels, shops and restaurants will be hit especially hard during the ongoing pandemic. Barbara Ransome, the executive director of the PJ village chamber, said the chamber is working on a social media campaign encouraging take-out pickups and deliveries. Meanwhile, federal officials in the House and Senate are considering an aid bill to help workers. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would provide free testing, extend the unemployment payment period and offer paid sick leave and emergency leave for workers in companies with 500 or less employees. The latter could exempt companies with 50 or fewer employees if that measure would bankrupt the company. President Donald Trump (R) has called for a $850 billion aid stimulus to major companies such as airlines impacted by the spread of the virus. The White House has also suggested deferring tax payments and even sending home checks to every American to cushion the blow of being out of work. As of press time, details have been sporadic, and the president’s office has flip-flopped on several initiatives already. With nobody really able to say how long life will be disrupted because of COVID-19, the true consequences of this loss of business are still unknown. “My mother always used to say you can live with anything bad as long as you know it’s not long term, or you see it ending,” Ransome said. Businesses, she said, are all hedging on when that end finally arrives.

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
The Suffolk County Legislature voted overwhelmingly March 17 to pass a piece of legislation that “bans the box” and restricts employers from asking about criminal histories in job applications. The new law aims to allow those with criminal convictions to have more employment opportunities without the stigma of past criminal history. In addition, supporters of the bill have said that it would help those individuals rehabilitate and reacclimate into society. County legislators have been trying to pass ban-the-box legislation since last year, but the latest breakthrough came late last month when lawmakers announced they had reached a bipartisan agreement on a new amended piece of legislation. Legislator Susan Berland (D-Dix Hills) sponsored the bill, while Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) and Samuel Gonzalez (D-Brentwood) were co-sponsors. “This law allows applicants with criminal records to have the opportunity to get their foot in the door, have that face-to-face with an employer and get that interview,” Berland said. In addition, the law gives the applicant the chance to address their criminal history with a prospective employer earlier if they choose to and protects the employer’s right to investigate the backgrounds of its applicants after an initial interview. Berland said the new amended legislation protects both sides. She believed previous versions of the bill placed too much onus on employers, requiring them to wait an extended period of time until they could inquire about an applicant’s arrest or conviction record, and disclose to applicants the reason why they were not hired. “There were a lot of hoops that were

unnecessary, though we all agreed that we wanted to take the question off the application,” the legislator said. Advocates have said Suffolk County has one of the largest parole populations in the state and that one in three adults have a criminal record in the U.S. According to PolitiFact, a fact-checking website, the FBI considers anyone who has been arrested on a felony to have a criminal record, even without a conviction. Effectively, one in three adults in the U.S. have a criminal record, but far less have actually been convicted. Supporters of the bill have said the ban would afford people a second chance, instead of having their applications discarded on the basis of one answer. Also, it would reduce the stigma and bias associated with individuals with a criminal background. Suffolk County will join more than 150 municipalities and 35 states in the U.S. which have implemented ban-the-box laws. “You can’t help but be affected by their stories,” Berland said. “These people have made mistakes, but they want to turn their lives around.” Co-sponsor McCaffrey said in a statement that individuals deserve an opportunity to put their best foot forward in a job interview without being automatically disqualified. He said the legislation “strikes a fair balance.” Gonzalez, the other co-sponsor, said he believes access to gainful employment will improve the quality of life for people with criminal records and the communities in which they live, ultimately reducing recidivism and increasing public safety. “We have been working on this legislation for quite some time — it’s a good day,” Berland said. “These are people that want to better themselves as well as families. This will get them in the door based on their application.”
Suffolk County police said human remains were found in the backyard of an abandoned Centereach home March 15, though many questions remain. Suffolk County Police Homicide detectives were on the scene Sunday night after a 911 caller reported skeletal remains were found behind a home at 75 Jay Road. Police responded at around 5:25 p.m. Sunday night. The remains were taken to the Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s office to be tested.
Detectives said they were looking into the history of the house and previous occupants. Police did not release details as to how the remains were discovered or where in the backyard they were located. When asked, they did not have details regarding the age or sex of the remains. Detectives asked anyone with information to contact the Homicide Squad at 631852-6392.

Stony Brook Students Weigh in on Changes to Their College Life Due to Coronavirus essentially shot, and half-mad I can’t hang out with my friends as often as I could during my last semester,” he said. “I’m essentially robbed of my last semester.” Even professors are feeling the changes coming to Stony Brook University, by placing their courses online with no physical student interaction. “It’s much less rewarding because I like to teach in a classroom and encourage students to speak up in class,” adjunct journalism professor
BY JULIANNE MOSHER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Amidst the COVID-19 health crisis that is shaking the world, Stony Brook University students are now being affected – especially those who rely on dorming on campus. The last week has been turbulent, and for students the news has been changing daily. On March 11, SBU Interim President Michael Bernstein sent out an email to students telling them that classes were going to resume remotely after spring break. “Spring break (March 16-20) will commence as planned at the end of this week and we will begin remote instruction at the conclusion of the break,” the email read. “Accordingly, students planning to leave campus for spring break should take with them any items essential to continuing their education from home including laptops, textbooks, notebooks, essential papers and other material. Students should also bring home valuables and indispensable items in the event that a sustained period will pass before they are able to easily retrieve them.” The email came shortly after angry and anxious students began protesting the administration, as rumors began to swirl among the student body. “Administration didn’t really communicate with us,” said Jeni Dhodary, a philosophy and economics major. “We didn’t get an official response until the day before spring break. … It’s a really messy situation.” Since students were gearing up for their break, they were advised to go home and stay home, if they could, even though the dorms and some food spots would remain open on campus for students preferring to stay there. Caroline Klewinowski, originally of Brooklyn, opted to stay in her dorm instead of heading home for spring break. “New York City seems like ground zero for coronavirus,” she said. “Long Island seems a lot safer.” The journalism major’s mother suffers from lupus, which was another reason she wanted to stay away from home. But then things changed and on March 17 the university sent out another email to students saying that on-campus housing will close and students must go home. Richard Gatteau, vice president for Student Affairs and dean of Students, and Dallas Bauman, assistant vice president for Campus Residences stated in another email the plans for students over the next several days. “All residents who live within driving distance of campus must vacate the residence halls and campus apartments as soon as possible, but no later than 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 19.

be prorated for the remainder of the semester for all students leaving campus housing and applied as a refund and/or credit to your student account based on the date of checkout.” With an international student body that makes up about 18 percent of the university, those students are required to move out as well, since “Visa and Immigration Services will not terminate or shorten the immigration records for F-1/J-1 degree-seeking students who remain enrolled and depart the U.S. It is important to note that Customs and Border Protection has not provided updated guidance regarding procedures for reentry, including the five-month absence from the U.S.” International student, Vaidik Trivedi, who lives off campus, was concerned about the initial reports of remote learning, but found comfort in having his own place not within the dorms — even though there are bans on going outside. “I don’t know what to do with my weekends now,” he said. “I think we need to deal with this logically, rather than focus on the mayhem.” Trivedi added it was hard being on campus, with little communication coming from the administration and rumors spreading at a rapid rate. “The university created havoc … students didn’t know what was going on,” the 22-yearold said. “They could have communicated better with the students while the rumors caught on fire, especially with the international students. It was one week too late.” While students are packing up to leave and find shelter in their homes away from the campus grounds, one thing all college students are feeling is a general sense of heartache that their year at school is being cut short. Frank Gargano, a senior, dormed on campus, but went home for spring break only to find out he had to drive back to school to pack up his room. “I’m half-mad that the housing money is
Jon Friedman, said. “But I like to take on new challenges, and this is an enormous one.” He added he feels badly for the students who are planning to graduate this May. “The last semester should be their happiest time and now they probably won’t be able to celebrate a normal commencement ceremony,” he said. “Throwing your cap in the air in triumph, in your backyard, doesn’t give a student the same kind of thrill.”
Virus Count Climbs, 10K Sign Up for Text Updates on First Day BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As testing for the coronavirus COVID-19 increases in Suffolk County and throughout the country, so too does the number of confirmed cases. As of Wednesday, Suffolk County had 152 confirmed cases, with three fatalities. “We were behind the eight ball on testing for a while now,” County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said on a conference call with other members of the National Association of Counties and the press. “Those numbers are going to continue to jump. All of these efforts about trying to contain that.” This week, Bellone’s office continued to take numerous steps to inform the public and protect first responders. He encouraged residents to sign up for Smart911, to provide emergency responders with critical medical information. Residents can sign up through the website www.smart911.com. Residents can also sign up for text message updates on their mobile devices if they text CovidSuffolk to 67283. Over 10,000 people signed up for the texting service on the first day, the county executive said. Apart from ongoing concerns about the spread of the virus, residents are confronting an economy that has ground to a halt, as people maintain social distancing and businesses from movie theaters to bowling alleys to dry cleaners all closed. The government “knows the impact to businesses will be devastating,” Bellone said on the call. The county executive has put together a business response plan and is working to collect data from local businesses. He also advised he continues to work with a business response team, which the Department of Economic Development and Planning and the Suffolk County Department of Labor are
leading. Bellone said the business group was in the “discovery phase” of the plan, as the Department of Labor takes the lead on collecting data from businesses to find out “what’s happening on the ground with their work force.” He encouraged businesses to reach out through 311 to provide information about the impacts of the virus. Bellone said he was working on supply chain issues for personal protection equipment for health care workers. He is also hopeful that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) will find ways to work with the Army Corps of Engineers to expand hospital bed capacity to meet the anticipated surge in demand. George Latimer, the Westchester County executive, also shared his experiences and his expectations for the progression of the virus on the National Association of Counties call. Westchester’s cases, which surged to 308, said the county is “where many places will be,” with its number of infections and its efforts to contain the spread of the virus. Latimer wasn’t optimistic about the potential to reopen schools in his county any time soon. “I doubt we’ll see academic [efforts] back before the end of June,” Latimer said. “That will cause all sorts of disruptions.” Latimer said he is concerned about beds and ventilators and that his district has asked retired nurses and doctors if they would return to service. County executives from other areas also expressed concerns about numerous other challenges, including helping the homeless population, safeguarding people in prisons, protecting first responders and health care workers, and managing their counties’ finances while tax revenue plummets and costs skyrocket.

Grocery Stores React to Shortages BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With shelves emptying quicker than they can replenish, as shoppers afraid of possible COVID-19 quarantines stock up, grocery store chains are trying to come up with answers.

North Shore Hospitals Change Procedures Due to COVID-19 BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Hospitals along the North Shore of Western Suffolk are changing the way they operate to keep the number of coronavirus cases down.
Stony Brook University Hospital
Stony Brook University is asking that all patients who have cold and flu-like symptoms to go directly to its emergency room department area and not get out of their cars, according to its website. Between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m., patients driving to the emergency department entrance will be greeted and screened while in their vehicles. Those with cold and flu-like symptoms and mild respiratory symptoms will be directed by staff members to go to the hospital’s new triage area located in the nearby Ambulatory Care Pavilion. The triage area will be staffed by emergency medicine physicians and nurses. According to Stony Brook Medicine, “The triage service is to separate patients with cold and flu-like symptoms from others seeking emergent care, in order to provide all patients with a streamlined environment for care and treatment.” Dr. Eric Morley, clinical associate professor and clinical director of the SBU Renaissance School of Medicine’s Department of Emergency Medicine, said in an email the new procedure has been successful. “The process has gone very well, and we are seeing an increasing number of patients in the triage and treatment area located in the Ambulatory Care Pavilion,” he said. “Our staff have adapted very well to the new process. The level of teamwork and dedication of our staff is clearly the driving force behind this success.” He said doctors have seen patients with both cold and flu-like symptoms, and also those
who fit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for COVID-19 testing. On March 18, a drive-through testing site for the coronavirus opened in the commuter P Lot on the southern end of the SBU campus. According to the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), those wishing to be tested must call 888-364-3065 to schedule an appointment. No referral from a doctor is needed but operators will ask callers questions such as age, symptoms, if they have any underlying health problems and if they have been out of the country. The information will be given to the New York State Department of Health, which will call back with an appointment confirmation if testing is deemed necessary. SBUH has revised its visitors policy. In response to New York State declaring a state of the emergency due to COVID-19, the hospital will no longer allow visitation until further notice. “While we understand the important role that family members and visitors play in a patient’s healing process, this is a necessary step we need to take at this time for our adult units,” a statement from SBUH officials said, adding that exceptions will be made in pediatrics, labor and delivery, maternity and neonatal intensive care, also end of life on a case-by-case basis.
Catholic Health Services of LI: St. Charles and St. Catherine hospitals Catholic Health Services of Long Island, until further notice, has suspended visits to all its hospitals as well as skilled nursing facilities, according to its website. Hospital officials said exceptions will be made on a case-bycase basis, which will entail hospital and nursing home leadership making a decision in conjunction with its infection prevention department and following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for screening

for the coronavirus before allowing visitation. CHS may make exceptions for end of life and newborn delivery. On the CHS website, Dr. Patrick O’Shaughnessy, executive vice president and chief clinical officer, explained the screening on the system’s website. “At all CHS hospitals emergency departments, in our skilled nursing facilities and throughout our regional nursing service, we are actively screening, asking patients about recent travel and looking for signs and symptoms of the virus,” O’Shaughnessy said. “Symptoms include fever and respiratory issues. Also, we are taking these precautionary steps at our owned physician practices.” CHS has canceled all elective surgeries from March 23 through April 24, according to its website.
Northwell Health: Mather Huntington hospitals
and
Northwell Health Labs announced March 11 in a press release that it began semi-automated testing for COVID-19 through its Lake Success facility. “Since we began manual testing Sunday evening, we processed about 133 tests,” said Dr. Dwayne Breining, executive director, in the press release. “Moving to this semi-automated system will enable us to increase our testing capacity immediately to about 160 a day, and then to several hundred a day later this week.” Dr. John D’Angelo, senior vice president and executive director of Northwell Health’s emergency medicine service line, said in an email that changes have been in place for a while in its health care system. “We instituted changes from normal practice long ago, starting with 100 percent screening of all patients on arrival with positive screens being masked immediately and escorted directly to a private room for further investigation,” D’Angelo said.
He added that a decision was made soon after to mask every employee after emergency department changes. “I believe we were the first in the region to institute such a mask mandate,” he said. “Lastly, as traditional screening (travel to CDC level 2/3 countries or known close contact) became less relevant, we decided to mask everyone — all patients, all visitors and all staff — while we continue to aggressively cohort patients with potential COVID-like symptoms.” Emergency department volumes in the Northwell system have remained at or below average, according to hospital officials. “The public is listening and staying home,” said Dr. Leonardo Huertas, chair of emergency medicine at Huntington Hospital. D’Angelo said a surge plan is in place for all Northwell system emergency departments which can be used if the overall general volumes increase “or if there is a surge of COVIDsuspected patients.” He added that if a plan was needed “an exterior ‘split-flow’ model” would be put in place. This would enable those who may possibly have COVID-19 but aren’t that sick to be treated in an alternative care site adjacent to the emergency room, while “those arriving with COVID symptoms but are too sick for the alternative care site will be brought directly into a predetermined, cohort isolation area within the emergency department. Every site has such plans.” Northwell has also canceled all elective surgeries. These surgeries, endoscopies and other invasive procedures in the outpatient setting will continue when doctors determine that they are clinically necessary. A Mather Hospital official also said that the junior and adult volunteer programs have been suspended, and the hospital is working with Northwell on childcare alternatives for staff members.

Editorial
Letters to the Editor
At TBR News Media we remain committed in our responsibility to our communities. That’s why in response to the coronavirus pandemic, and following the advice of health experts, until further notice our office will be closed to the public. Our employees will be working from home as much as possible. As always, we will be checking our voicemails and emails and answering those messages. So, of course, keep on writing and calling. If you do see us out in the community, just as we have been doing for more than a week, we won’t be shaking hands and such, but all of us are more than happy to offer you an elbow to bump. It’s important for each and every one of us in the office to do our best to stay healthy, as we need to be here to give you the news from the local perspective, and if we do run into you, that we don’t pass on anything to you. When it comes to reporting the news, it will be business as usual. You will see our papers in your mailbox and local newsstands, and our website will be updated with the most recent news related to the COVID-19 situation in between editions. We will also keep in touch with elected officials, local hospitals, school districts, organizations and more to bring you the most accurate news possible. This is all unprecedented territory for all of us. However, modern technology will help us get the job done. For example, just the other day Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) held an update on the county’s coronavirus response on a conference call with local journalists. With not only telephones, but FaceTime, Skype, and for those who are busy, emails, we will ask questions and track down answers. As for our office outside the editorial department, our employees will stay connected through text messages, emails and Google Hangouts. Speaking of joining forces, as always, readers are welcome to send in photos of anything interesting they see during their daily lives around our coverage area, whether it’s a house fire, car incident, wildlife at play or a beautiful sunset. We would love to hear how everyone is doing during this time of temporary closures. Let’s hear your perspective, whether you’re a parent trying to balance work from home while monitoring your children’s studies, or a student trying to figure out what to do during this time outside of school buildings. Send us 400 words or less, and you may see your words on the Letters to the Editor page. Have more to say? We may just print it as a perspective piece in our news section. We encourage our readers to keep up on the news, look for those pieces that attribute information to respected health organizations or experts — and heed their advice. That’s not to say there’s a need to overdo it and become panicked. Take the time to read respected and trusted sources, and don’t trust everything on Facebook as there are numerous rumors and falsities going around. Remember, always look toward trusted sources and fact-checking websites to get to the bottom of such rumors. As we have been for more than 40 years, we will be here for our readers now and in the future.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day … even though it is unlike any St. Patrick’s Day in my memory. Social distancing will unfortunately be with us for a while. However, the Wedge, otherwise known as Heritage Park, will be a place to lift our spirits

and still practice “social distancing.” These old pictures display a spirit of open space and help sooth our soul. The daffodils of 2020 have formed a green face, but the yellow blossoms are near. Andrew Gebbia, a Heritage Trust board member has placed out the daffodil mu-
ral and in/out signs to help direct frolicking about our 55-foot smiley face. It is times like this that the value of the gem of a central park really shines. Be well and of good cheer. Fred Drewes Mount Sinai
President Trump’s Lack of Empathy Is anyone out there impressed with President Donald Trump’s empathy to the current coronavirus pandemic? Not me. Compare Trump’s response to how other presidents facing catastrophic situations responded: Obama and Sandy Hook shooting, George W. Bush and 9/11 or Ronald Reagan and the Challenger disaster. While the latter presidents showed genuine human emotion for the people directly affected by these events and
for all Americans, the sense is entirely different today. Trump seems more concerned about protecting his image and his “ratings.” While it is no crime to be cold and unempathetic, it is also nothing to be desired of any leader, much less the president of the United States. And did anyone catch Trump’s boast that “even the scientists were impressed” by how much he knew and that he said, maybe he should have become a scientist,
but he decided to become president instead? Unbelievable. One thing I can confidently say is that the scientific community does not like or respect Trump. Except maybe for psychologist who would love to psychoanalyze him and the stunning cult-like hold he has on many Americans. Someday historians will look back at today and ask: How did this happen? Dave Hensen Miller Place
Help Out Our Local Restaurants, Businesses In these difficult economic times due to the coronavirus, it is especially important to patronize your local neighborhood restaurants and businesses. If you are working from home, why not take a short walk and order takeout for lunch or dinner now that restaurants are closed for the foreseeable future? Do the same for shopping at your local small independent stores. Now is the time to help our local
restaurants and businesses to survive. If restaurants are still open for takeout and you can afford it, tip 20 percent or more against the total bill, including taxes. If it is an odd amount, consider rounding up to the next dollar. The extra dollar tip will add up for staff. It will be appreciated. Remember these people are our neighbors. They work long hours, pay taxes and provide jobs to our fellow
citizens. They also serve as eyes and ears for the community, helping to prevent crime. If we don’t patronize our local restaurants for takeout and small businesses to shop, they don’t eat either. As a nation, we will eventually triumph over the coronavirus even if it takes several months or more. Larry Penner Great Neck
Sharing a Bit of Good News, Kindness With mostly bad news pervading the media these days, it is good to hear a story that illustrates that humanity and kindness is not dead. Here is one. A friend of mine recently made arrangements to have a surprise birthday party for his wife, inviting 15 of our friends, for Friday, March 13. He put me in charge of ordering a special cake: chocolate, with strawberries and whipped cream, and “Happy birthday” with her name, on top. I had chosen the Rolling Pin Bakery in Setauket, since so many of my friends had recommended
it. I paid for the cake in advance. I was supposed to pick up the cake at 2 p.m. on Friday. When the day of the birthday party arrived, the news about the coronavirus spreading had gotten really bad. I got a call from the host, at noon, saying that, because of all the panic about the virus, he thought it best to postpone the party till a later date. I immediately called the Rolling Pin and spoke to a lovely young woman, explaining the situation. She said the cake had already been made. I
immediately agreed that, since the cake had already been made, I would expect to pay for it. The woman responded that I should hold on a moment, because she wanted to speak to the manager. She returned to the phone and told me there would be no charge. I was so impressed by the Rolling Pin Bakery’s kindness and sensitivity to our situation, that I thought I should pass it along. Stories like this are worth repeating. Rita Edwards South Setauket

Working from Home Amid Barking Dogs and Missing Socks
W
elcome to the home office. I have been working from home for years and would like to offer a few tips. For starters, pets are generally awesome. They can reduce the stress from deadlines and from abrasive calls. Much more often than not, they seem absolutely delighted to see us and to give and receive positive attention. The wag, wag, D. None wag of a dog’s tail is almost as wonderof the above ful as the squeal of a BY DANIEL DUNAIEF happy toddler when he sees the ice cream on his plate or learns about a trip to the store
— ah good times, remember when stores were open? — or to a visit with a favorite relative. But then there’s the dark side. My big dog offers quiet companionship most of the time. He does, however, have an uncanny knack of barking at what appears to be absolutely nothing outside when I’m on the phone with someone who is coming to the point of a long and deeply moving anecdote. Nothing takes the professional veneer off an interview with a Nobel Prize winning scientist, the chairman of a department or the head of a medical school faster than the unwelcome sound of a dog barking. Well, that’s not entirely true. I have exacerbated that dilemma. You see, I thought I hit the mute button on my phone and shouted unpleasant words at my wonderful four-legged companion, only to discover that, in my haste, I missed the button, giving my professional contact an earful of seemingly out-of-my-mind comments.
So, there are two lessons: Keep your barking dogs far from the phone when possible, and make absolutely sure you push the mute button before breaking character and insisting that your beloved buddy stops barking at the squirrel that tortures him — and you — during important calls. OK, so the next tip is fairly obvious, but bears repeating. The refrigerator is not calling you. While you’re home, you will undoubtedly have competing impulses that you might not have indulged in at the office with a trip to the kitchen. One of them is to fill the momentary lull between calls, or the period when you might otherwise chat at the watercooler about the latest sports games — ah, remember when we used to watch sports in real time? The kitchen is fine and doesn’t need a visit, especially given the dwindling supply of basic items that might be harder to get the next time you go to the supermarket — ah, remember the
good times. OK, you get the idea. Create signals with the rest of the family, who are home with you or back in the nest to alert them to the most important work-related tasks of your day. If you are on a conference call with people who are signing up for off-site responsibilities for the next few weeks, the last thing you want to do is have someone come to your work space and ask if you’ve seen the blue sock to match the one he’s holding with an exasperated look at your door. Finally, remember that the kind of things you might say in the context of gossip or jokes don’t always translate through texts and emails. No matter how some emojis might indicate that you’re joking — a winking circular blob, perhaps or a shrugging face — the person on the receiving end of your witticisms might not get it and might not find your brilliance so charming, especially if she’s still upset at the words she screamed at her barking dog earlier in the day.
weeks, to keep the wolf from the door. There may even be subsequent payments. The infusion of such cash should stimulate the economy albeit briefly because it would probably be immediately spent. But for most families, it won’t go that far, which is frightening. Surveys have shown that four out of 10 Americans don’t have enough cash on hand to cover an unexpected $400 emergency expense without borrowing. Since the Federal Reserve has dropped rates close to zero, it is almost painless but always dangerous to borrow. Or perhaps it is an opportunity to renegotiate a loan or mortgage? It is easy to be afraid. Society, as we have known it, is being altered — by government officials urging us not to touch or even be near each other. We can’t send our children to school, and now child care becomes a huge headache. But perhaps it won’t be because we may not go to work either. At least we can take care of the children. We are advised to maintain in our homes the same sort of schedule as the children follow at school: study hours, physical activity, playtime. More time with our families may be a blessing in disguise. Consider that we are being isolated from each other in the age of the internet, which
means access to unlimited educational and recreational sources. The idea of learning remotely and working remotely is now going to be put to the test. There could be opportunity here. I know this is tough to hear, but being upset doesn’t help anything. If we can calm down and manage the things we do have control over while we wait for the uncontrollable to settle down, we will have a good action plan to see us through these “interesting times.” There are, after all, closets to clean, desk drawers to sort, new recipes to try, books to finally read, movies to watch — even binge on if you have a series like “The Crown,” pleasurable moments to enjoy with family and the certitude that this, too, shall pass. This is the time that the Earth slowed down. The frenzy of everyday life is gone. Appointments, lessons, carpools, timelines, plans are all put on hold temporarily. It is a time for us to slow down, too, take some deep breaths, perhaps permit ourselves a nap in the afternoon. The tide has gone out and we can’t pull it back. But it will return on its own and just as strong. Of one thing we can be sure: There will be a baby boom in nine months.
Keep Calm and Carry On
D
o you feel like you are living in the “twilight zone”? Our current world would make a riveting episode for Rod Serling’s 1960s television series. Here is an example of life imitating art, with our deserted village streets, our closed schools and our shuttered shops. Only residents popping out of restaurants with takeout orders offer signs of normalcy. I keep pinching myself, but nothing changes. This is not a bad dream. Between This is real. What to do beyou and me sides washing our BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF hands? Don’t know about yours, but mine are already chapped from my conscientious response. For starters, those not in essential business-
es or services are asked to stay home. What has been deemed “essential” is interesting: pharmacies, restaurants — takeout only, gas stations, banks and liquor stores. Although we are not on the list, we journalists consider ourselves committed to providing factual information for our communities during these unprecedented times, and we remain at our posts although in a somewhat reduced number to honor the new phrase “social distancing.” For more about how we are functioning, please read the adjacent editorial. We are dedicated to bringing you a regular dispassionate update on the website and of course in the newspapers. What else? Certainly don’t check on the value of your stocks if you own any. Better to leave your 401K and IRA out of sight for now. No need to heighten the hysteria. And how long can we bemoan lost work hours, disappearing paychecks or sales revenues that have evaporated, even as our expenses continue unabated?
