Port Jeff’s community garden full speed ahead BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Just in time for spring, Port Jefferson’s community garden is planned and ready to get started. On March 15, the Village Board of Trustees voted an overwhelming “yes” to the new pilot community garden program. The idea behind it, Trustee Rebecca Kassay — who “planted the seed” on the project — said it would be able to give residents an opportunity to grow local, organic food and enjoy outdoor recreation together, while creating learning opportunities for its villagers. The garden would be dedicated to maintaining parkland and be a staple to the community. And she felt that this quaint area could benefit from its own garden. “I’ve been around vegetable gardens since I was born,” she said. “My father kept — and still keeps — an impressive half-acre in St. James.” After completing a degree in Environmental Studies, she moved to Harlem where she found a tense neighborhood being gentrified had one common ground — Jenny Benitez’s community garden in Riverside Park. “It was in my time volunteering there that I most clearly saw how this simple human tradition humbles, delights and invites unity between people from all ages and backgrounds,” she said. Since November 2020, a group of 11 residents volunteered their time to become part of the Community Garden Committee, hoping to launch the garden on an abandoned, vacant plot of land on Beach Street.

Village gardener Caran Markson said that a long time ago, the land was once a playground with broken-down equipment. Since it was removed, it has been bare, looking for a new purpose. “The property has been empty for as long as I can remember,” she said. “It was very underutilized.” For months, the group researched, planned and eventually implemented a design for the village’s first community garden. According to Kassay, the garden will initially consist of 16 raised beds, with some being double-high beds for residents with different abilities. The garden will be accessible to all. “Beach Street is a great little spot for Port Jefferson Village’s first community garden,” she said. “It is a flat piece of underutilized village parkland with plenty of sun for residents to grow some organic veggies.” But the best part is, the Beach Street plantings are set to begin this summer, and if the pilot garden project is successful, the committee expects to expand at the Beach Street site in 2022, and in subsequent years, create a second garden site at the Highlands parkland uptown. Kassay added the group is also looking to pilot Port Jefferson’s first composting program at Beach Street, after some research of area-appropriate methods, pending community response. “This large effort is anticipated between 2023 and 2024,” she said. Markson said the 16 beds will be planted with vegetables. “Outside of the raised beds, we’re going

to hopefully a whole bunch of berries, maybe grapes, and we can plant native flowers just to beautify this village,” she added. “It’s going to pull the community together.” On March 15, Mayor Margot Garant and the village board contributed $4,000 of village beautification funds toward the project, specifically to irrigation and raised bed materials. Committee members have already begun collecting in-kind and monetary donations from community members to meet the project’s $8,600 2021 budget and will be circulating donation material mid-April. “No contribution is too small,” she said. “You can find a committee member for more

information and/or to give a donation at the weekly Village Farmer’s Market starting May 2.” Once established, the garden committee will raise money throughout the year with suggesteddonation programming and fundraisers. Kassay said they are looking to break ground on the project May 1, with a ribbon cutting July 10. “I’m really looking forward to giving fellow residents the ability to grow their own produce,” Kassay said. “Whether it’s a fun family project, a way to cut down on grocery bills, a way to meet new people, part of a journey to better health ... I’ve been fortunate to have access to gardens throughout my life, and now I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this with my community.”

Buller said the last couple of years she has grown her shop in the village has even led her to now make the jump to move out here, herself. Born and raised in Queens, since 2019 she has been commuting the almost two-hour drive to Port Jeff every day. She said she just sold her place in Bayside, and is looking to find a new place in the Port Jefferson, Rocky Point or Mount Sinai areas to call home. “I remember being a child and a day trip for us would be coming out to Port Jeff,” she said. “So, when I decided to own a business, my concept was that I didn’t want to be in a strip mall. I wanted to be in a town. And I had such fond memories of this village so I took the jump.” The Village Boutique is open Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Sunday’s.

Village Boutique moves into former Thomas Kinkade space BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Village Boutique saw an opportunity a few storefronts away and decided to move in. The former Thomas Kinkade art gallery located at 128 Main Street in the village has stayed vacant for more than 13 months, said Abby Buller, The Village Boutique’s owner. So she talked to her landlord — who owns her former spot at 216A Main as well as the Kinkade space — and decided to move down the street. “I think the location is a little bit better and because of the way this store is configured, it allowed me to expand more into shoes and accessories the other store didn’t allow me to do,” Buller said. And the new store is a better fit. Since originally opening up in May 2019, Buller said her store carries a variety of women’s apparel for ages 16 and up. The new, much larger, space allowed her to begin selling footwear and more accessories. “I’ve always wanted to have shoes in my store, but the back storage area was just too small,” she

One U.S. congressman has his eyes on Albany for the 2022 election cycle. Last week, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY1) announced his run for New York State governor. To kick off his campaign, Zeldin released a video on his website and to his social media accounts. “We have two choices,” Zeldin said in the video. “We can raise the white flag and surrender to mediocrity, corruption, coverups, more job losses and even higher taxes. We might as well just turn the lights off. Or we can roll up our sleeves and get to work to save our state. That’s what I’m going to do as New York’s next governor. Let’s do it together and show the world the real New York.” Zeldin has been openly critical of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), from the governor’s alleged cover-up of nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic to the sexual misconduct allegations made against him. “At the helm of New York’s downfall is Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose disgraceful

Off and running: The Cross-Island Marathon from Port Jefferson to Patchogue BY KENNETH BRADY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Cross-Island Marathon was a former Port Jefferson to Patchogue road race. Attracting a record 1,175 runners in 1979, the annual event originated a decade earlier with a field of only 18 competitors. In 1969, the Patchogue Jaycees and the Cavalier Athletic Club co-sponsored a “Marathon Run” from Broadway Avenue in Holbrook to the ferry dock at the Patchogue Sandspit. Not a true marathon of 26 miles and 385 yards, the June 21 race was to cover slightly over seven miles but was shortened to a 5.5-mile event to avoid major thoroughfares. The co-sponsors extended the 1970 “Marathon Run” to 14 miles, starting the June 20 race at Nesconset Highway (Route 347) in Port Jefferson Station and finishing at the Rider Avenue entrance to Shorefront Park in Patchogue. The 14-mile distance remained the same in June 1971 and 1972, but the race was renamed the “Cross-Island Marathon.” In addition, the Village of Patchogue’s Recreation and Parks Department joined in sponsoring the event, later becoming the key organizer of the run. In June 1973 and 1974, the marathon’s course was stretched to 15.5 miles. The race

still finished at Shorefront Park in Patchogue but began near the waterfront at the intersection of Broadway and Main in lower Port Jefferson. With this change, the run lived up to its name, became a true “Cross-Island” event, increased in popularity and drew more competitors. Sandra Swenk was Port Jefferson’s mayor when the marathon was brought to the village’s downtown. As she fired the starter pistol signaling the beginning of the race, the runners charged up Port Jefferson’s Main Street passing a number of businesses that have been lost to the passage of time — the Elk Hotel and Restaurant, Grammas Sweets, Woodfield’s Men’s Wear, Cooper’s Office Supplies, Mac Snyder’s Army and Navy Store, Gristedes Supermarket, Cappy’s Carpets, Ringen’s Luncheonette and many more. Seasoned runners easily handled the climb from the village’s waterfront up the hill to the LIRR crossing where the course finally leveled off, but the lung-bursting grade often proved quite challenging for first-timers unfamiliar with the terrain. Over the years, the run’s start in Port Jefferson and end in Patchogue was a constant, but the length of the race was not: 15.6 miles, 1975-1977; 20.8 miles, 1978; 19.6 miles, 1979; and 20 miles, 1980. In 1981, the Cross-Island Marathon was scrapped and replaced with the 13.1-mile Patchogue Half Marathon, prompted in part by a desire among some in greater Patchogue to have a strictly South Shore event and growing concerns about the race’s impact on road traffic. Although the Cross-Island Marathon underwent frequent changes throughout its history, one outstanding athlete dominated the run despite the disruptions. From 1969-1980, Justin Gubbins won each race, often with blistering times, except for 1972 when he was away for Olympic Trials and in 1977 when he ran second to Louis Calvano. Local residents also performed well in the Cross-Island Marathon. Steve Heinbockel of Belle Terre placed third in 1976 and 1977. His father, William, a math teacher zat Port Jefferson High School, won the age 41-50 division in 1978, a year with 924 finishers. Among Long Island’s original road races, the bygone Cross Island Marathon was a unique run, linking Port Jefferson Harbor on the North Shore with Patchogue Bay on the South. Kenneth Brady has served as the Port Jefferson Village Historian and president of the Port Jefferson Conservancy, as well as on the boards of the Suffolk County Historical Society, Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council and Port Jefferson Historical Society. He is a longtime resident of Port Jefferson.

Port Jefferson Station Man indicted for Main Street murder

Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini recently announced the indictment of a Port Jefferson Station man for allegedly murdering a man on Main Street in Port Jefferson on March 24. Joseph Garcia, 19, of Market Street, is charged with Murder in the Second Degree, a class A felony; Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, a class C felony; and Criminal Contempt in the Second Degree, a class A misdemeanor. “This is a highly disturbing, tragic case,” said Sini in a press release on April 8. “The defendant allegedly murdered the victim in broad daylight and in the middle of a busy downtown. We also retrieved video surveillance allegedly showing this individual joking about the shooting a mere 10 minutes after the murder occurred.” At approximately 3:35 p.m. on March 24, Suffolk County Police 6th Precinct officers responded to a 911 call reporting a man shot in front of 122 Main St. in Port Jefferson. Upon arrival, officers found David John Bliss, Jr., of Shirley, on the ground with a gunshot wound. Bliss was transported to St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson where he was pronounced dead.

“This incident has devastated the victim’s family and the community at large, and we will do everything in our power to hold the defendant accountable,” Sini added. Following an investigation by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office’s Felony Offense Bureau and the Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad, Garcia was identified as the alleged shooter and was arrested on March 27. The investigation included reports from several eyewitnesses as well as surveillance video allegedly showing Garcia shoot and kill Bliss before leaving the scene in a vehicle. Additional video surveillance allegedly shows Garcia arriving at a residence in Setauket approximately 10 minutes after the murder in possession of a firearm. Garcia can allegedly be heard on the video surveillance taken from the residence making admissions as to the shooting. Garcia was arraigned on the indictment virtually today in front of Suffolk County Supreme Court Justice Timothy Mazzei and was remanded without bail. He is being represented by George Duncan and is due back in court on April 21. If convicted of the top count, Garcia faces a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

A total of 54 new recruits were sworn in by Suffolk County officials in Brentwood police academy, Monday, April 12. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and county Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart were responsible for swearing in the second portion of the class, one that had the highest percentage of minorities in the history of the county. The first class, holding 50 recruits, was sworn in March 29. With a total of 104 recruits from all over Suffolk County, including eight women, 28% are minorities and 10 are fluent in Spanish. “Being a law enforcement officer is a crucial role in our society,” Bellone said. “So first let me say thank you for your willingness to stand up and serve your community and being willing to

take on the responsibilities of a law enforcement officer.” Almost half the recruiting class had prior law enforcement experience and one-third of the class are military veterans. Bellone expressed his anticipation for the recruits to begin their 30-day training. Special recognition was given to the good Samaritans, a retired NYPD officer and a Marine, who did not hesitate to offer assistance to Officer Christopher Racioppo in his time of need after a traffic stop stabbing in Patchogue Saturday. “Officers responded immediately and relied on their training, the quality training that they received here in this academy to make the critical, split-second decisions that needed to be made that very well may have saved his life,” Hart said. Hart welcomed the new class in taking their next step into a life of service as they embark on their new careers in law enforcement.

debt for students through the Higher Education Act, according to Schumer. This would also bypass the requirement to present the motion to Congress. Biden has said that he supported alleviating students of loan debt up to $10,000, and now the call to action is being echoed loudly by his fellow Democratic Party members. On his first day in office, the president addressed the ongoing dilemma regarding student debt, where his plan was to extend the pause on federal student loan payments and keeping the interest rate at 0% through the end of September. The United States national student loan debt has accumulated at an alarming rate. An Experian survey indicated the total amount reached a record high of $1.57 trillion in 2020, an increase of about $166 billion since 2019. Nearly 2.4 million New Yorkers owe $89.5

billion in federal student loans as of March 2020, Schumer said. The average New Yorker owes $34,600 in student loans, greater than the national average of $32,700. To relieve loan borrowers of their debts, Schumer mentioned that if the federal government forgave debts up to $50,000, it would greatly bounce the economy. He detailed how instead of repaying their loans, people can instead allocate their money for other immediate and urgent payments, as well as leisure spending. Schumer told conference attendees that the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 includes roughly $2.6 billion for New York’s colleges and universities, with half of the allocations distributed as financial aid to students in addressing hardships brought about by COVID-19. Some of the local institutions benefiting

from the American Rescue Plan for “estimated minimum amount for student grants” were listed by Schumer during the conference call: City College $23.6 million, CUNY Queens College $25.8 million, Syracuse University $15.4 million, SUNY Buffalo $31.7 million and Stony Brook University $26.8 million. Schumer also made an urgent request for the call participants, primarily college students, to stay informed by reading local and studentrun newspapers. He likewise reinforced the importance of those attending the conference to take a call to action to write, call and email Biden and get their friends and family to do so to spread awareness. “Student loan payments are on pause, but they are not going away if we don’t do something once the pandemic is over,” Schumer said. “These debts are just going to keep piling up.”

U.S. senators advocate to president for student debt forgiveness On a conference call with New York college students last month, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) presented his plan to cancel up to $50,000 in debt for federal student loan borrowers. The plan is derived from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass), who proposed national debt forgiveness as a promise in her presidential campaign. Both Warren and Schumer’s joint plan involves using a presidential executive to nullify student debt up to $50,000. “College should be a ladder up,” Schumer said during the call. “But student debt weighs people down, it is an anchor, and we have to do something about it.” President Joe Biden (D) has the executive authority to substantially cancel student loan

Obituary

Longtime Belle Terre resident, PJ school district employee dies from COVID-19 Miriam (Groman) Remz, a long-time resident of Belle Terre and former business manager of the Port Jefferson school district, passed away from COVID-19 on Feb. 21 at the age of 94 in Brookline, Mass. Miriam was born on Dec. 15, 1926 in Czestochowa, Poland, the only child of Israel and Gertrude Groman. She moved with her parents to Brussels, Belgium at the age of 2, where she lived until emigrating to New York on March 1, 1938, avoiding the terrible fate that awaited most of the remaining Jews in Europe. Miriam considered that date her second birthday, special to her because it represented the beginning of her new life in the United States. Miriam graduated from City College of New York in 1946 with a degree in business administration and accounting. She then worked in a New York City accounting firm where she met Louis (Leo) Remz. After he popped the question and was told “I’ll get back to you,” (she said “yes” a week later), the two were later married on Feb. 17, 1948 in the Bronx. They moved to Port Jefferson in 1949 where Louis worked with his brother, Morris, at M. Remz (later Louis Remz Supply), a feed and grain business —which eventually added bakery ingredients, as well — located next to the Port Jefferson train depot. Having moved to Cliff Road, Belle Terre where they built a house, Miriam took time off from work to raise a family of three boys. The Remzes were among the founding families of the North Shore Jewish Center, then in East Setauket.

In addition to her travels, Miriam was passionate about many things in life, including education, her family, Israel and the Jewish people, theater and the arts. She often went on trips to New York for theatre and dance with friends and sometimes meeting up with her grandchildren. She always enjoyed a good time, dancing, celebrating and socializing with family and friends, and making new acquaintances. Miriam wanted to pass that on to her family and made sure her children and grandchildren would have every opportunity that she could provide, whether in supporting their educational endeavors or taking her grandchildren on special trips abroad upon them becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah including London, Paris, Italy and Brazil/Uruguay/Argentina. She moved from Belle Terre to Brookline in 2014 to be near two of her sons, Jeff and Sandy. She continued her love of lifetime learning by attending lectures about politics, current events, history, literature, art and Judaism and reading history and biographies. Almost exactly two years before she passed away, she attended a Dolly Parton tribute concert by Berklee College of Music students in Boston. Miriam is survived by her three sons, Harvey (Mary Jane) Remz of Huntington, Conn.; Sandy (Arlene) Remz of Newton Centre, Mass. and Jeff (Judy) Remz of Newton Centre, Mass., six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Burial took place at Washington Memorial Park in Coram. Obituary from Jeff Remz

­ ­

On April 6, newly elected Town of Brookhaven Councilman Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) was sworn in at Town Hall by Town Clerk Donna Lent administering the oath of office, according to a town press release. On March 23, Kornreich won a special election to complete the four-year term vacated by former councilwoman and current New York State Supreme Court Justice, Valerie Cartright. His current term expires Dec. 31, 2023. Kornreich represents Town of Brookhaven Council District 1, which includes Stony Brook, Old Field, Poquott, Setauket, East Setauket, Belle Terre, Port Jefferson, Port Jefferson Station and Terryville. Kornreich brings with him a long history of leadership in his community. He has served on the Three Village Board of Education since 2008 as a past vice president, and until his election, he was also the president of the Three Village Civic Association. He is also a past president of the North Shore Montessori School in Stony Brook and a past vice president of the Suffolk County Boys and Girls Club. He resides in Stony Brook with his wife and two daughters. “I am humbled by the responsibility to my constituency to be their voice in town governance,” Kornreich said in the press

release. “As a civic leader, I’ve found that there is so much more that unites us as a community than divides us, and I know we will continue to come together to face our challenges together.” Kornreich said that he’s looking forward to joining his colleagues on the Town Council and the many professionals in Town Hall who work hard every day to make Brookhaven a great place to live and work.

County

New Middle Country soccer team’s goal is to include all BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM There’s a new place for people of all abilities to play soccer, and it’s right in Centereach. TOPSoccer is a new program within Middle Country Children’s Soccer devoted solely to children with physical, mental or behavioral disabilities. Rob Draper, a financial advisor at Draper Asset Management in Smithtown and club president of SB Athletico Soccer Club, said he wanted to provide a place where all different types of people can run, play and score goals together without judgment or fear. “Soccer helped me experience my kids’ childhoods,” he said. “With soccer, there were times where I would go, ‘Wow. That’s great,’ and our goal is to give those moments to these parents so they can experience it, too.” Draper teamed up with Dave Phaff, also of SB Athletico, and James Malone, president of Middle Country Children’s Soccer to make this dream a reality. “We’re all just good-hearted people that just really enjoy working with children and

watching them grow into young women and men,” Phaff said. Officially kicking off last weekend, the program is made up primarily of skills sessions that help teach the participants the game of soccer, while at the same time providing them with an environment that is fun and pressure-free. Phaff said the whole process took less than three months to get off the ground, and everyone was immediately on board. Joining the team is Tara Phaff, Dave’s wife, who is also a Doctor of Physical Therapy, who helped create the best plans for each individual

participant’s needs. According to Middle Country TOPSoccer, the team encourages any child or adult who is differently-abled to get involved — and its 100% free. With no questions asked, Draper wanted to fund the program for whatever families decide to join in. “Rob said to me, ‘I really want to start a special needs soccer program and I’ll fully fund it. I don’t care what it costs, I’ll fund it,’” Phaff added. “He has a great heart.” While other soccer clubs do encourage inclusivity, Phaff said there aren’t too many locations where kids of abilities can play further East. That’s why Centereach was a

great, central spot to get the ball rolling. On Saturday, April 10, the group held its opening day at Oxhead Road Elementary School with 25 individuals, ranging in ages five to 55, headed to the field to kick, run and enjoy the sunshine. Some of the participants have Down syndrome, some on the autism spectrum and two children were able to play soccer from their wheelchairs. One thing they all had in common was the giant smiles on their faces. Each player, Phaff said, gets a buddy that works with them every practice. These buddies are volunteers and soccer players, themselves, who help the individual and stand beside them the whole time — and they are anticipating even more players to come join them this season. “The whole purpose of this is to give these kids an opportunity to be accepted and feel like they are part of something,” Phaff said. “So, we won’t turn anybody down.” TOPSoccer has their practices every Saturday at 10 a.m. at Oxhead Elementary School in Centereach. Families who are interested in joining can register online at mccsoccer.org. Photos by Julianne Mosher

Royals give Mattituck a run for their money

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Port Jefferson girls’ volleyball team at (4-2) had their hands full when they hosted Mattituck (10-1) in a League VI matchup April 10. On paper the Tuckers should’ve made short work of the Royals but that’s not what happened. Mattituck edged the Royals in the opening set winning it 25-19 but the Royals rallied back in the second nipping Mattituck 26-24 to make it a new game. The Royals went toe-to-toe in the 3rd set forcing Mattituck to win it by two, 26-24. The Tuckers stretched their legs in the 4th set with a 25-19 victory to win the game 3-1. The Royals win in the second set forced Mattituck to go beyond 3 sets for only the third time in this season. The Royals had a busy weekend with a double header later in the day against PiersonBridgehampton then have a road game against Greenport the following day. The win lifts the Tuckers to 11-1 while the Royals fall to 4-3 looking to secure a playoff berth when post-season begins April 19

The Port Jefferson School District’s girls varsity soccer team not only knows how to play an excellent game, its members understand that they have the power to make a difference in the lives of others. The team closed out the season on April 10 with the Kicks for Cancer game. Although the tradition was a little different than in years past, the girls still raised awareness and funds that will benefit Long Island individuals and

families affected by cancer. The team raised $400 for Kicks for Cancer, a local initiative that combines athletics and fundraising for cancer research, and has raised more than $1 million since its inception. The girls also closed out the season with a 3-0 victory over their opponent, Mattituck/Southold/Greenport. The district congratulates the student-athletes, coach Taylor Forstell and assistant coach Logan Hoffmann on their efforts and a great season.

EXCELLENCE. WE MAKE AN ISSUE OF IT EVERY WEEK.

The Port Jefferson School District congratulates Earl L. Vandermeulen High School student-athletes Stephen Bayer and Luke Filippi. The two juniors were recognized as Newsday Gridiron Greats for their outstanding individual performances during a recent football game against East Hampton/Pierson. Stephen caught 17 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns in Port Jefferson’s 25-14 win over EH/P. Luke completed 31 of 42 passes for 358 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another 113 yards and a score in the same game. Mr. Adam Sherrard, the district director of health, physical education, athletics and nursing noted that Stephen also set a New York State Public High School Athletic Association record in the game with his 17 receptions – the second all-time record for Port Jefferson — in which he tied with 2020 graduate Aidan Kaminska.

Editorial

Young people and the vaccine Every morning when we wake up, we’re reminded that we are still enduring this global pandemic. Whether you think so or not, everyone’s lives have been impacted by it. Some people have lost loved ones to COVID-19, some have gotten so sick they suffer severe trauma and some haven’t seen their families in over a year. Beyond the physical, businesses have suffered financially, some even closing their doors for the last time. But luckily the vaccine has lifted the weight off a lot of shoulders — especially for the young people in our community. Now that New York State has opened the vaccines to people ages 16 and over, more and more high schoolers and college students are looking to get the jab. And we think that’s wonderful. They are trusting science and doing so to protect not only themselves, but their elderly or high-risk loved ones. We want things to go back to normal for everyone, but the high schoolers specifically. Remember last year when the Class of 2020 missed out on their final high school sports, senior trips, proms and graduations? Some of them have even been robbed of the college experience of living in a dorm, taking classes in a lecture hall and meeting new people. If we as a whole do not band together to combat this virus, then the classes of 2022, ’23, and ’24 may miss all those key lifetime moments, too. The Class of 2021 has already lost their junior year — and most likely will not have the same “normal” experiences this spring as the rest of us had. We know the unknown is terrifying, and people may not agree with getting a vaccine. But is it worth not getting vaccinated? To constantly live in fear of the virus, or to not trust the medical professionals who saw death every day for more than 365 days? We don’t think so. We are grateful and commend these young people for getting their shots. The more people who do it, the more we’ll all be able to live as we did before.

E. B. White and me Recently I was in New Jersey with my former college roommates. We had been Zooming and planning to get together for months. The yearbook came out and we laughed over it. We tried a yoga pose to alleviate back pain, discussed the kids and uses of turmeric. We moved to the subject of CBD oil, and dispensaries, when “Sheila” handed us each a small, light weight, paper package. The next day, retelling this to my 22-year-old, she surmised that, as early 80s college grads, the package likely contained something illicit. The envelope, however, contained compressed laundry detergent sheets. I was cautiously impressed. My roomietribe had vowed decades prior to reject plastic packing when possible. The envelope label read in part, “ecofriendly, cruelty-free” and “biodegradable anionic and non-anionic surfactants.” To this point I had used powder detergent. I buy the cardboard boxes locally and they do nicely in the outdoor fire pit when empty. Once home, I gave my 20-year-old Kenmore a whirl. The sheets worked well in both cold and hot washes. My kid said they are easy to use. The thin 6 by 10-inch, lightweight envelope takes up minuscule space in the cabinet and the perforated sheets will do 60 loads. I foresee fewer shopping trips for me, fewer transport ships and trucks and a reduction in carbon emissions. The efficiency in cold water is especially important, I think. Globally, cold water is what humans have greatest access to. E.B. White once wrote, “I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” I suffer the same affliction. When shopping, my first thought, after “How many carbs?” is, “How big a carbon footprint?” Thus, I began deeper research. I was curious about the manufacturing process of the emerging hydrate-at-home cleaners if I am to use them. As a Long Islander I am not always convinced that dirt is worse than harsh chemicals. Dirt and I are not so different. Nutrients for humans come from food directly or indirectly through plants grown in soil. If a cleaner breaks down dirt, it breaks me

down on some level as well, no? What I found is, although all forms of laundry detergent manufacturers have, in response to consumers, removed most phosphates, other substances known to pollute the environment remain. With regard to packaging, most people I know are putting plastic into the recycle bin. A quick survey of friends in Brookhaven who use liquid detergent, revealed that half had purchased plastic laundry jugs stamped with an HDPE ‘2’ symbol. The other half either found no recycle number stamped on the plastic at all, which I found alarming, or, the symbol was high. Not in a good way. In either case, these cannot be recycled in Brookhaven. I found one of my own shampoo bottles cannot be recycled.

Although I have found vegan laundry sheets, cleaning action and chemical ingredients seem equal. The choice then for me, is either heavy thermal energy use at the front-end drying process for sheets or on the back end with disposal and transport of plastic jugs. After discussion with the family, we are abandoning boxes of powder for laundry sheets. I will throw the envelope in the chiminea when it is empty. On a personal level, my goal will be to do fewer loads of laundry and wash my hair less often. You’ll likely find me in dirty jeans and a bandanna covering my hair — flashback to senior year.

Opinion After a year and counting of loss, residents cope with grief

A

fter a year filled with various kinds of losses in 2020, many residents are coping with emotional burdens, including a calendar filled with anniversaries of painful memories. Called the anniversary effect, people who have been grieving losses are approaching and, in some cases have passed, the one year anniversary of the death of a family member, the last time they saw a family member in person, or the day they D. None dropped a friend who of the above couldn’t breathe off at a BY DANIEL DUNAIEF hospital. “It’s good to acknowledge an anniversary is coming up,” said Mandi Zucker, a licensed social worker with a certificate in grief recovery and in thanatology, which is the study of death

and dying. Those who feel comfortable offering their support might want to ask someone who is grieving what they are doing, if they have any plans and how they might spend the day. Zucker, who is the founder of Inner-Harbor, a center that helps young adults who are grieving, cautioned that reaching out to someone only as an anniversary approaches might backfire. If the anniversary is the only time someone reaches out, “that might feel disingenuous,” Zucker cautioned. People who are grieving might wonder “where you’ve been for the past year, if you are reaching out as if the other 364 days have not been difficult.” People eager to provide support to the many residents who are dealing with the symptoms and after effects of grief should first make sure they are comfortable enough with their own lives to respond to their family and friends. “Don’t ask if you’re not ready to hear it,” Zucker suggested. “If you’re going through something yourself and you’re in a hurry and don’t have the time, don’t ask.” Support often takes the form of listening,

rather than interrupting or talking. Zucker suggests people encourage those who are grieving to speak, without interrupting them, sharing their own anecdotes or judging them. While it might not sound like long, two minutes is considerably longer than most people can offer their thoughts and feelings, as others typically interrupt well before then. “There is nothing we can say that’ll fix” grief, Zucker said. “Our goal to be supportive is to let them say more. When you’re talking with them, think about why you are talking.” Commenting on someone’s experience, by acknowledging that their description sounds sad, scary or painful, gives them an opening to continue to share. When someone says, “It’s been rough with COVID,” almost everyone can offer their own experiences with the virus, the losses of freedom, and opportunity that they’ve felt, she said. Even though a supporter might want to share their experience to relate, the person who is grieving is likely better off having an opening to continue to share and experience

their feelings, Zucker suggested. Sometimes, just allowing the person to tell you to go away gives people control over a life that seems out of control. “You can give them space, [but] you can also send an email or text saying that you are still thinking about them,” Zucker said. “You don’t have to imply that they must respond.” Zucker is a fan of handwritten notes, which provide a material connection when someone doesn’t feel like talking, but can see a physical reminder of their connection to others. If people notice that someone who is grieving isn’t getting dressed or showering, they can comment on it, letting them “know you see them.” Zucker has a contrary view to the comment people often receive about being strong. For her, people show strength by being vulnerable, not by masking their feelings. People who might be experiencing grief might also need to diversify their sources of support and strength. That could include meditating or going for walks.

class even if the school shuts down due to an emergency or natural disaster. (No more snow days, sorry.) So here is what the scientists who specialize in the interactions between humans and technology developed, according to National Geographic. They created a tool to measure fatigue, called the Zoom Exhaustion and Fatigue Scale, or ZEF. They then used this in large surveys to measure that fatigue, in addition to how long each person spends on Zoom and demographics. Here are four factors that affect teleworkers. The “lack of nonverbal cues is stressful because people cannot naturally convey or interpret gestures and body language when just their colleagues’ shoulders and heads are visible.” That presents a constant struggle to the viewer for proper communication. Here is another, perhaps surprising response. “During video calls, people report feeling trapped in one spot so they can stay within view of the webcam.” As a result, they feel stressed, according to the researchers. Further, the default window, in which users see themselves

constantly, can cause “mirror anxiety,” a selfconsciousness that can result in distraction and has been linked to depression. Finally, there is something termed “hypergaze,” in which the viewer feels that the other person or people on the call are staring at them, their faces appearing so near and so intense as to cause discomfort for the brain. The survey confirmed that women who spend more time in meetings, with shorter breaks between them than men, reported greater mirror anxiety and felt more trapped by their video calls. How to cope: use a standing desk to feel less trapped; an orange filter on the screen may reduce eye strain; take at least ten minute breaks between video calls; ask conferencing companies to limit the maximum display size of heads on the screen; use some form of hybrid scheduling for home-office work. I cannot let this subject go, however, without thanking the tech companies for making it possible for me to “see” my family members during this separation of more than a year. It has kept us connected and sane.

Zooming during and after COVID-19

V

irtually everyone seems to agree that when the pandemic is finally over, life will not be the same as it was preCOVID-19. Prominent among the changes will be some degree of working remotely. Before the virus descended, requests to work from home at least part of the week were typically refused by employers. Enter “Zoom” in lockstep with the pathogen. Technically, Zoom was among us before the virus but only a Between small segment of the you and me population used the BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF platform. Once we were restrained to our homes, we laypeople discovered how easy and useful it was “to Zoom,” and the name became a verb, much like Xerox or Google. So certainly Zooming will remain with us for a long time to come. But what are its unintended consequences?

For one, there is the phrase that has now entered the English language: Zoom fatigue. We, who are on Zoom regularly and for long periods, understand this term. According to an article in National Geographic, published this past Tuesday and written by Theresa Machemer, new research offers data on this phenomenon to confirm our perceived discomfort. Here are some interesting bits of information. On average, women report 13.8 percent more Zoom fatigue than men. Here is more: besides long days full of calls with few breaks that are the culprits, the self-view video, the crowd of faces on the screen, the expectation to stay in view of the camera, and the lack of nonverbal cues all tax the brain. I would add to that the lag between what is said and its transmission is tiring for the eyes and frustrating to the point of encouraging us to talk louder, which too is tiring. OK, so we can agree that remote working has its perks: “no commutes, flexibility to handle household tasks, and easy access to conferences for all workers, including those with disabilities.” To an extent, we can now live where we want to live, and we can attend
