Comsewogue Students, Alumni Sing Out to PJS Seniors BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM What a year it has been so far. Since the passing of former Comsewogue Superintendent Joe Rella back in February, the entire nation has been shook by what seems like a crisis after crisis. But June 2, with school buildings closed and the community only now crawling out from under the rock of months of quarantine, district teachers and officials still found ways to honor Rella’s ideals of service above self. This year, students, faculty and alumni showed their support to a local assisted living facility. Joe’s Day of Service, which was started in 2018 by special education teacher Andrew Harris, usually includes students, faculty and alumni supporting the community by participating in projects around the district. Past years included cleaning graves at Calverton National Cemetery, cleaning animal cages at local rescue shelters and singing to residents of the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year district leaders had no choice but to think of something different.

Around midday, just under 30 cars crowded with district residents drove through the Woodhaven Center of Care facility in Port Jefferson Station. There, cars honked horns and shouted their support to the residents and staff of the home, who like many assisted living and elder care facilities have seen months of lockdown, and residents are only now able to spend time outside. However, they must be wearing masks at all times out of their rooms, and visitors are still not normally allowed to enter the facility. “In this time, with everything going on, I think this is wonderful,” said Patricia Cagney, a resident of the assisted living facility and longtime PJS resident. “We need celebration and good remembrances, and that’s what this is all about.” While the passing cars showcased Comsewogue pride, two sets of musical artists performed for the assisted living residents and to the nursing staff of the long-term care facility. High school students Gianna Pelella and Faith Schlichting performed renditions of Andra Day’s “Rise Up” and Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings.” Lily Brosseau and Sydney Antos, who both graduated from Comsewogue in 2018,

presented Drops of Jupiter’s “Train,” with Brosseau on guitar and Antos on vocals. Both said their lives were impacted when college campuses shut down, but they said they plan to attend again when campuses hopefully reopen in the fall.

“We felt really close to Dr. Rella, and we really wanted to participate in this day of service,” Brosseau said. Laura Marinus-Menno, the director of recreation for Woodhaven, said the last months have JOE’S DAY OF SERVICE Continued on A6

Local Graduates Face Uphill Battle in a Post-COVID Economy BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Recent college graduates on Long Island are faced with uncertainty as they begin to pursue their respective careers. Their 2020 graduating class will encounter a number of challenges as they enter one of the most daunting job markets, not seen since the Great Recession of 2008. Not only did the COVID-19 crisis truncate their last semesters of college, it stripped them of graduation ceremonies. It put jobs, internships and other opportunities on standby. Some local graduates are being forced to adapt and stay sharp while they wait for the job market to rebound. Nesconset resident Laura Burns, who recently graduated from St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue with a political science degree, said when the pandemic hit it felt like “everything was spiraling out of control.” “I remember taking my last midterm and then they canceled all classes before spring break. We didn’t even get a last goodbye,” she said. “It felt like we were forgotten.” Burns was disappointed that she could have a proper graduation ceremony, saying it would have been a special moment for her and her family, as her mother also graduated from the college. The St. Joseph’s grad had to rethink her initial future plans. “Before COVID hit I was thinking about maybe pursuing a graduate school or law school — that’s what I felt was the practical thing to do,” she said. “Even if I wanted to try to get a job in political science it would be pretty difﬁcult right now.” Burns said some of her friends have gotten part-time jobs working at grocery stores for the

time being. Potential short-term options such as working at a restaurant or other retailers are unavailable, as Suffolk County is only in Phase One of the reopening process. Most retailers will be able to reopen more during Phase Two. Restaurants will have to wait even longer. Burns said she will most likely plan on taking classes at Suffolk Community College and could continue to pursue acting, something she has done since she was younger. This past February, the job market looked promising with employers adding 273,000 new positions, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor. Just last week, more than 2 million U.S. workers ﬁled for unemployment beneﬁts, according to a U.S. Department of Labor weekly

report. It brought the total number of jobs lost to over 40 million. Matthew Hoth of Miller Place, who graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh with a master’s degree in data analytics, is trying to stay optimistic and positive about his future job prospects. “A lot of my classmates, myself included, lost a lot of local opportunities because of COVID-19,” he said. Hoth had an internship lined up with a local health and mental health care facility, but that all changed when the coronavirus hit. “I had talks with them for a while, I was really looking forward to interning there,” the recent graduate said. In addition, his last semester was going to be used to network and make connections in his ﬁeld. He and his peers missed out on attending

Brookhaven Fast Tracks Outdoor Business Permits Brookhaven town has announced they are now accepting applications for COVID-19 Social Distancing Accommodations, which would allow businesses to expand outdoor seating and sales. This includes some retail establishments as well as houses of worship. The permits are being fast tracked by the town and all fees are waived. This would immediately allow businesses to open up as Long Island enters Phase Two of reopening.

All permits expire on Nov. 1. The permits were partially formed thanks to the work of the Brookhaven Recovery Task Force, which Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said “we have implemented this strategy to allow businesses to expand their operations beyond the conﬁnes of their four walls so that they can maintain distancing and keep their customers and employees safe without drastically reducing their operation.” Types of eligible businesses include: • Restaurants • Retail sales establishments • Personal service shops • Places of worship • Health clubs

• Delicatessens • Assembly and social recreation halls • Ofﬁces • Movie theatres • Non-degree-granting instruction/program except those associated with manufacturing or driver training • Tasting rooms as an accessory to a permitted principal farm brewery, cidery, distillery, or winery use • Large commercial retailer, except those deemed essential business The application is available on the Town of Brookhaven website at www.BrookhavenNY. gov/RestartBrookhaven. For more information, call 631-451-6400.

workshops that could have brought him face to face with potential employers. “I had some leads on some jobs locally, but then everything kind of stopped dead in its tracks,” Hoth said. “Right now, I’m trying to get more program certifications to add to my resume and updating my LinkedIn [account].” To fill the void of the internship and in an effort to add some work experience to his resume, Hoth is considering freelancing, special projects and working remotely. “With companies cutting and laying off people it is discouraging to see,” he said. “But I’m optimistic that the economy and job market will eventually bounce back,” he said. Victoria Arcuri of Holbrook, a recent graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology, was looking forward to starting a full-time position at a creative agency in New York City she had interned at during her last semester of school. Due to the effects of the pandemic, the agency had to put her postgraduation hiring on hold but extended her internship. “My boss was like, ‘right now we are not in the position to hire you, but there is still a possibility for a full-time position,’” she said. “Without COVID, I’d have a full-time job right now.” Due to social distancing restrictions, Arcuri, who studied graphic design, and her fellow classmates also missed out on other potential professional opportunities. Their senior exhibition, an event where students get the chance to present their portfolio in front of professors and professionals in the industry, was instead held online this year. “At first I was disappointed, but I realized there were worse things going on than not having the show,” Arcuri said. After commuting to school for the majority of her college career, the FIT grad had hopes of moving to Brooklyn once she started her full-time job. Those plans have now been stalled as well. The Holbrook resident said if she can’t secure a full-time position with the agency, she’ll look for other options in the short term. Freelancing and contract work could be a possibility, given a potential business climate where there is more work done remotely. At her internship, presentations and meetings with clients are done through Zoom and they can send most of the things they’re working on via email. “In graphic design we do most of our work on a computer or on our laptops, so it wouldn’t be too bad if I worked from home,” Arcuri said. “Though if I had a choice I’d prefer to be in a studio.” She reiterated that many college grads are a bit scared about their own futures. “Some companies and businesses might not come back the same, a lot of them have taken a big hit and that will affect us,” Arcuri said.

Local Businesses Struggle Local Historian Under Phase One Reopening Says Enormous Tree Likely Has Historical/ Community Value

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

After two months of shutdown, area businesses were given the go-ahead to restart operations when Suffolk County reached Phase One of the state’s reopening process. It is the first of four phases as state officials slowly lift restrictions meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus. For many storefronts, it is the first step on the path to recovery. Here’s how things are going for a few retailers in Port Jefferson. Renee Goldfarb, owner of Origin of Era boutique in Port Jefferson, said it’s been a delicate balance of making sure they are operating safely and trying to make some revenue again. For select retailers like hers, they are limited as of now to only curbside pickup. “We’ve encouraged our customers to check out our online store and if they like a certain item they can email, and we’ll have it ready for them at the door,” she said. “It’s been difficult because we are very hands on, we want the customer to be able to try on a piece but we’re limited on what we can do.” Goldfarb hopes owners can eventually make up for some of their losses. But she also took issue with how the state handled big retailers remaining open. “Do I think it was implemented the right way? I don’t think so,” she said. “I understand Walmart and Target sell essential products, but people were also able to buy nonessential items. That completely puts mom-and-pop shops at a disadvantage. They should have closed that area off [to customers during the shutdown].” Abby Buller, who runs the Village Boutique in Port Jefferson, said sales have been slow the first few days open. On Memorial Day weekend, a time when the businesses thrive with the influx of people, Buller said she only saw about six people walking the streets. “There was no one on the streets, why should they come to a town where they can’t go shopping. This is a shopping and eating town,” she said. “The bars are closed; the restaurants are only allowing pickup. Right now, there is no reason for the Connecticut people to come and take the ferry — there’s nothing to do once you get here.” With eight weeks of no income coming in, the boutique owner is glad she can start bringing in some sales. She was also frustrated with how the state handled the initial shutdown restrictions and agreed with Goldfarb.. “What they’ve done to small businesses is ridiculous,” she said. “From the beginning they allowed Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s to sell nonessential products,” Buller said. “The

fact that they were allowed to stay open during this time and make more money is disgusting, small businesses have been suffering.” Brookhaven officials have spoken out on the issue. “I am very concerned about the prospects for the future of our small businesses,” said Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), at a recent press conference. “We need to be safe and we need to be smart, but we don’t need rules that work against mom-and-pop businesses when there’s no reason to do that. I ask the governor and county executive to take action now and help our small businesses and downtowns fully reopen again.” The comments came after recommendations from the town’s post-COVID-19 task force looking at economic recovery. Members of the committee said the state’s plan has favored big box stores. Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) had similar sentiments. “We are asking the state to take a different approach when reopening businesses and use a more objective standard, such as the square footage recommendation made by the town a few weeks ago,” she said. “This will place our small businesses on more equal footing with the other larger and big box businesses.” With Phase Two close by, owners will have to continue to obey social distancing guidelines. Retailers will be required to limit capacity. Patrons and workers are also required to wear masks. Mary Joy Pipe, the president of the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce and owner of East End Shirt Company is trying to make the best of their current situation as they look towards phase two. “Sales have been near zero, though we’ve had some customers,” she said. “But it’s important right now to be open, present and let people know we’re here.” Going into phase two, Pipe will be changing the interior of the store to meet social distancing guidelines. Masks and the use of hand sanitizers will be required. “I think many of us look forward to starting a on a new page, looking back is painful,” she said. “We’re grateful to the community, they’ve had us in their minds and we feel that.” In addition, once Phase Two begins, Goldfarb may implement an appointment-only model where up to six people can be in the store at a given time. She is also considering private shopping experiences. “My store is 700 square feet, we’re in a confined space. I’ll be requiring customers to wear masks until I feel it is comfortable to stop,” Goldfarb said. “I may lose customers but it’s our responsibility to be safe.”

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Along a small East Setauket street off Shore Road and near Se-Port Deli, a giant stands dying. It’s hard to relate just how large it is in words, let alone photos. Nothing does it justice. At approximately 60 feet high and 222 inches in circumference, measured at 4.5 feet off the ground, the enormous silver maple in Setauket is one of the few of its kind that remembers a time potentially up to the Revolutionary period or even further back. Along Carlton Avenue, in front of Chris Ryon’s house, the best way to gauge the size of it is by comparison. Three-year-old neighbor Dina Amelchenko is dwarfed by it. Ryon, at 5 feet, 7 inches tall, can only reach the crook of the lowest branches with the tips of his fingers. Ryon, a lifelong area resident and village historian for Port Jefferson and Poquott, has taken care of it for more than two decades. Now its bright bark is flaking off its core, and limbs are starting to tear from the trunk. “Although the tree has been admired by many, for hundreds of years, it has reached the end of its lifetime,” he said. Silver maples once lined the streets in the Setauket community, but the tree is not known for its steadfastness over such a long lifespan. Ryon said almost all have fallen or been removed, though none were anywhere near the size of the one in front of his house. Ryon and his wife Karen purchased the house in 1996 from Fred and Betty Griffith, he said, which meant they also started taking over care of the tree. Prior to their moving in, the Griffiths had installed three cables connecting six of the giant tree branches together. Since then, the Ryons have paid for trimming the maple and removing any of the dead wood, with the help of neighbors Rich and Jeff Usher. Despite these efforts, the tree still seems to be on its last legs. Some of the tree’s limbs have snapped off and crushed a part of the Ryons’ fence. Others could also come loose and damage neighboring homes or cars. “We want to document it before it goes, if it does go, since it is unsafe at this point,” Chris Ryon said. “There’s a lot of question marks —

we don’t know what the town is going to do with it.” The race is now on to preserve the great silver maple and find some way to preserve the specimen for future generations. There are ways to date it, either by bisecting it to count the rings or by coring it using a specially made device, or by carbon dating it. Without state foresters able to take any kinds of measurements, the exact age is still unknown. John Wernet, the regional state forester of Long Island, said he has had conversations with Ryon but has not been able to go out to see the tree, as the pandemic and state cuts have left him unable to leave his office. Though he said the tree is not the biggest tree of its type in New York state, based solely on its circumference, it could easily be one of the largest on Long Island, if nothing else. The state keeps a registry of all large trees, but the list does not offer any kind of protections. “It’s more for bragging rights,” he said, adding that there is little he can do on the state side in tree preservation efforts, though he hopes the silver maple can somehow be protected. Setauket groups are especially keen on preserving local history. with entities like the Three Village Historical Society and its annual Culper Spy Day event. Ryon said the tree could be used by local historical societies, where even a bisection of the tree could show what years showed more or less rain, and even relate which years local or national historical events took place. The question lingers on what can be done to or for the tree.

County SC Taskforce Worst Case Scenario Projects $590 Mln Revenue Shortfall for 2020 BY DANIEL DUNAEIF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A COVID-19 Fiscal Impact Task Force report projected a range of economic scenarios for the county, depending on the impact of the virus later this year. In a “V” case, the economy rebounds quickly and continues to climb. A “W” scenario, on the other hand, shows the county recovers, then stumbles amid a second wave of the virus that doesn’t require a lockdown, and then stages another recovery. The worst-case scenario, however, is the “U,” in which a second wave presents enough of a recurring public health crisis that the economy recovers far more slowly. The three possibilities will likely dictate the extent of the revenue shortfall over the next three years. About $329 million of the overall revenue shortfalls come from actual declines in sales tax collection so far in 2020. Additionally, the task force, which included county staff Emily Youssouf, Larian Angelo, Michael Kelly and Nathan Leventhal, anticipates a 4.9 percent shortfall in property tax collections, which translates into a reduction in collections of $35 million. The group also projected a $30 million revenue shortfall from OTB/ casino and motel/ hotel taxes.

The range of revenue shortfalls through 2022 are from $1.136 billion to $1.518 billion. The biggest single-year gap between projected revenue and actual revenue would be in the “U” scenario for this year, for which the county would come up $590 million short. The task force concluded that the current economic outlook requires a swift and dramatic response to prevent an economic disaster. “Even the most optimistic scenario which the task force has examined will place enormous pressure on the ability of the county to maintain an acceptable level of government service which the County’s residents have every right to expect,” the group warned in its conclusions “This is a budget crisis that is greater than this county has ever seen before,” said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D). “This report outlines it well. We have a long road ahead.” Bellone is sending this report to the entire congressional delegation so they can understand the financial emergency created by the public health crisis. “This is a crisis that’s beyond what a local government has the capacity to deal with on a local level,” Bellone said. “If ever there was a time that a local community needed their federal representatives to deliver for them, that moment is now.”

tial parking lots as outdoor dining space for restaurants looking to participate. • As the Port Jefferson Fire Department will not be making a decision on the annual July 4 parade until mid-june, the board voted to push back the fireworks show, normally held at East Beach, until later in the summer. Mayor Margot Garant suggested the dates of Aug. 1 or 2 to coincide with potential graduation plans with the Port Jefferson School District. Although no dates have officially been set as of yet. • Fireworks by Grucci, which normally hosts the village’s fireworks displays, notified officials they would see no problem in providing the displays at a later date. • Bike racks have already been installed at the small park by the village center, and now there are new bike racks next to the basketball courts near Rocketship Park. • A new electric vehicle charger has been installed at the parking lot in front of Rocketship Park. So far there have been 31 charging sessions with each session averaging a total of 1 hour and 21 minutes. The village plans to install another charging station after the Barnum Avenue parking lot is finally constructed.

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Port Jefferson village continues to plan for a number of ongoing projects. Here’s some notes from the June 1 meeting. • The village has voted to waive all dining table application fees and outdoor dining public hearings, and permits would be effective for the full 2020 season. One example officials gave was Tiger Lily Cafe, which has one outdoor table setting but could expand to host more of its services outside. The village is still working out details with some restaurants, such as Ruvo East and Old Fields, to use residen-

Port Jeff Station Protest Against Racism Draws Hundreds

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM “No justice, no peace” and “I can’t breathe” chanted hundreds of protesters gathered near the intersection of routes 347 and 112 in Port Jefferson Station. Wielding signs condemning police brutality and racism, scores of passing cars near the intersection honked their horns in a show of support. The June 1 rally was one of many peaceful demonstrations occurring around the country following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of a now-fired and arrested police officer. “We have seen the murders of black men, women and children, this wasn’t an isolated incident,” said Skyler Johnson, a Mount Sinai resident and Suffolk County Community College graduate who organized the rally. Johnson is set to primary several other Democrats in the race for state Senate 1st District seat. “We are here to show that we won’t stand for this anymore.” Anthwan Newell of Uniondale said he was glad to see an ethnically diverse group of protesters. “I’m happy to see so many people stepping out of their comfort zones and really letting their voices be heard,” he said Newell, who made the trip to Port Jefferson Station with a group of friends, reiterated the need for immediate change. “As black people, we sadly have gotten numb to seeing someone killed by police brutality,” he said. “We’re all out here for the same reasons, we’re fighting for change. It has to happen, and it has to happen fast.” Josh Parish and Ashley Barry of Centereach said white people can’t ignore this issue anymore, especially on Long Island. “It is important to not let people forget what is going on,” Barry said. “People can’t drive past us today without seeing and reading the signs and hearing the chants.” He stressed the need for institutional reform in law enforcement and to demilitarize police departments. “It is not just one cop, it is a systemic issue — it starts from the top,” Barry said. Denzel Johnson of Coram said conversations on racism need to continue after these protests. “It is still here, and it won’t go away until we make a change,” the Coram resident said. “The only way to make that change is by taking that first step and that’s what we’re doing today. This is a great demonstration, it is good to see people of all colors standing together against racism.” Suffolk County Police Department’s 6th Precinct was on hand and reached out to organizers beforehand to ask if they could stand with the protesters. More than a dozen police officers monitored the rally.

SETAUKET TREE Continued from A5

The nationwide protests were sparked by a video that was shown on TV and circulated on social media showing Floyd on the ground as a white officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Chauvin, who was fired from the Minneapolis Police Department, has been charged with third-degree murder. Three other officers who were at the scene were also fired but have not been charged with a crime. Protests have rocked the country, with some of them turning violent in several major metropolitan areas, including New York City. Long Island has already seen several such protests in places like Brentwood, but most have remained peaceful. Late on Monday, June 1, police said a group of approximately 100 protesters marched toward the 7th Precinct building in Shirley, but police set up a skirmish line along William Floyd Parkway, and after two hours the crowd disbursed. Throughout the week, local officials have weighed in on the issue. “In my 30 years of service, I have never witnessed such a cruel and heinous act of violence by anyone wearing the uniform as we saw in Minnesota last week,” said Errol Toulon Jr. (D), the Suffolk County sheriff. “The killing of George Floyd is so contrary to the mission of law enforcement, and to the oath that officials take to uphold the Constitution. We must never forget that we are here to protect the rights of the people.” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) called Chauvin’s actions a type of racism. “Perhaps the most disturbing thing is the lack of concern that this officer showed in knowing that he was being videotaped,” Bellone said. “That suggests this officer felt that there was no accountability.”

it, but said that they want to work with both residents and the town to help preserve the giant maple in some way, shape or form. “I know highways [department] have responsibility, but that should be the last resort to take down a tree,” Hoffman said. “We’re here to support the community, but it’s still really early.” Those in the community who were there in the 1970s are still burned by the loss of another tree, known as the Lubber Street Oak at the corner of Lubber and Black Duck Drive in Stony Brook. According to a bronze plaque residents set up at the site, the tree stood at 84 feet tall with a circum-

Obituary Roy Allen

Roy R. Allen, a father of four, died in South Setauket May 26. He was 93. Roy was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, May 14, 1927. He was a World War II veteran and he was a member of The American Legion. In 1959, he moved from his childhood home of Brooklyn to Eau Gallie, Florida, in order to embark upon a career with Pan American World Airways during its involvement with the Cape Canaveral Space Program. For much of his career, Roy was the director of Labor Relations for the eastern region for Pan Am in New York, New York. He resided in Northport before retiring to Cutchogue and Southold. Roy was preceded in death by his wife,

ference of 280 inches. It was believed to be over 300 years old when it was taken down by the Town of Brookhaven Highway Department in 1979. Bill Schaub, the Ryons’ neighbor and member and past president of the civic, said they would like the tree preserved in some way, especially considering residents’ past consternation with local government unilaterally removing those trees without first speaking to residents. “If it has to be cut down because of disease then that’s understandable, there has to be a balance between beauty and safety,” he said. “But I think we can achieve that.” A Highway Department spokesperson said the tree was only recently brought to the department’s attention, and no final decision has been made.

Marjorie and his sister, Shirley Wilkens. He is survived by his children Meredith Gibson, of Satellite Beach, Florida; Barbara and Peter Falotico, of Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Thomas Allen, of Los Angeles, California; and James and Andrea Allen, of East Setauket. Allen was a proud grandfather of eight and a great grandfather of one. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends. Arrangements were entrusted to the Bryant Funeral Home of Setauket. Visit www.bryantfh. com to sign the online guest book. A memorial service will be held at a later date. If desired, memorial donations can be sent to American Legion Post 803 at P.O. Box 591, Southold, NY 11971.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

Every day, as we watch the upheaval across the nation with protesters battling systemic injustice, it can all feel like society itself is embroiled in violence from Times Square in New York City all the way to the front lawn of the White House. But here on Long Island, we have seen relative civility. We were happy to see the peaceful relationship between the Suffolk County cops on hand and the protesters in Port Jefferson Station June 1. We hope that peace continues into the future, but it also reminds us not to lose focus at the local level, as events could soon have massive impacts on local schools and could drastically impact the ability of residents to afford Long Island. School districts will be tallying up budget and board of election votes June 9. This year, all residents will be required to send in absentee ballots, and their votes will likely count more than ever before. This year’s school budget votes will set a precedent. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, voters will be required to complete a mail-in ballot and return to their school district’s official address by 5 p.m. June 9. Board of education and budget votes usually result in low voter turnout, but this year with everyone receiving a ballot in the mail and being able to cast their vote whenever they find the time, there could potentially be a landmark change in how many people vote. The number of voters this year is something we’ll be interested in seeing. We and letter writers have expressed before on this page that voting for board of education members and on school district budgets are important in and of themselves as the cost of running schools accounts for a significant amount on local tax bills. Our board of ed members are the people who make the decisions that not only affect students’ learning but also how they are protected as the pandemic leaves deep scars in the fabric of society. It seems like schools are constantly dealing with more and more issues. And now our BOE members will need to figure out how to best protect children and those who work with them from an invisible enemy, a virus that anyone can have and spread without even showing symptoms. There will be tough decisions to be made this summer as to what our schools will look like this fall. Will there be a need for fewer children in each classroom leading to more teachers needing to be hired? Will there be more remote learning, and how can this virtual approach to teaching be refined? Look at your school district to see how they are managing the economic impact. We have seen a myriad of interesting initiatives to lower the annual tax rate increase, but all residents have to understand that New York State may drastically impact district finances in the coming months with potentially drastic cuts to state aid. What may seem like a small deed that can just be ignored is actually an important responsibility. Make sure you have received your absentee ballot for school elections — and stay home and vote.

George Floyd was murdered by a police officer who placed his knee on the neck of the handcuffed man in Minneapolis. Floyd was pleading “I can’t breathe” and at this time only one of the four police officers involved has been charged. It has drawn comparisons to the death of Eric Garner who was killed on Staten Island in 2014 after he was placed in a choke hold by police while he was also pleading for his life. It’s been almost four years since San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began protesting police brutality. All those indignant about

Kaepernick taking a knee on the football field should be as outraged by the white Minneapolis police officer placing his knee on the neck of Floyd. In his protesting, Kaepernick was attempting to focus on the flaws in America, namely that of police brutality to people of color and why distrust of the police exists. Unfortunately, Kaepernick’s kneel has been so grossly misinterpreted that his reasons for doing this were clouded in the term we often heard, which is his being unpatriotic and he must be punished. The images are a painful reminder of the inequality in our country. On May

26 Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. tweeted the following, “If you’re unbothered or mildly bothered by the 1st knee, but outraged by the 2nd, then, in my father’s words, you’re ‘more devoted to order than justice.’ And more passionate about an anthem that supposedly symbolizes freedom than you are about a Black man’s freedom to live.” The George Floyds, the Ahmaud Arberys and countless others deserve better. We should all be kneeling alongside Kaepernick. Which knee do you defend? Myrna Gordon Port Jefferson

Meals on Wheels Thanks PJ High’s Generosity During the pandemic, Three Village Meals on Wheels has continued delivering two meals a day, Monday through Friday, to clients throughout the area. Many of our clients, who are unable to leave their homes, faced a problem during the weekends, when family and friends who were once able to help out were unable to do so due to stay-at-home regulations. This left many clients short of food. MOW has

had a longstanding relationship of receiving help from the Leo Club at Port Jefferson High School. As closings loomed large in mid-March, MOW reached out again to the Leo Club for help. Within just two days, the club, under the guidance of teacher Brian Chalmers, rallied the entire school — students, teachers, and administrators. Together, they raised funds and compiled 200 bags of food. Our volunteer

MOW drivers have distributed the bags during the pandemic so that no client will be without food. Meals on Wheels and the clients we serve are profoundly grateful to all at Port Jefferson High School for their enthusiastic generosity and outstanding community service. Deborah L. Blair Vice President, Meals on Wheels

Frontline Workers Showed Up, Reps Should Too

Throughout the coronavirus outbreak, our communities’ healthcare workers, doctors, grocery store workers, truckers, farmers and more showed up to work when our country needed them. They were all selflessly and reliably working hard to ensure our loved ones had the care they need and that our shelves were stocked. In the face of the invisible enemy, our frontline workers never wavered in doing what needed to be done, showing up day in and day out. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for too many members of congress. Throughout our nation’s history, in light of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, pandemics and everything in between, Congress has worked together to respond in the best interest of the American people. However, last month, the House of Representatives voted to change the rules and allow what is known as proxy voting.

This means that instead of casting their votes in person, members of congress can give their vote to another member of congress to vote on their behalf. Under this proxy voting system, a single member of congress can vote on behalf of up to 10 Members who decide not to come to Washington, D.C. to cast their own vote. This means that while they don’t have to come to D.C. they will still collect a paycheck. Last week, for the first time in history, some Members of the House did just that. For example, two of these Members of Congress abused this new rule to skip votes in Washington to attend the SpaceX launch in Florida. While over 70 Members of Congress gave their vote away, it was a no-brainer for me to show up to cast my votes in person as the representative of New York’s First Congressional District. Not only are there major Constitutional questions surrounding proxy voting, which undermines

the validity of every piece of legislation passed using it, my constituents elected me to come to Washington, D.C. to do my job, and that’s what I’m going to do. Even in this period of working remotely, the committees on which I serve haven’t had any official hearings or legislative markups. Not even remote ones. I believe that one of the keys to leading and ensuring our nation emerges from this fight stronger than ever, is to show up. We cannot lead from behind. We need to come out of our basements and make the hard choices. Coronavirus has claimed the lives of over 100,000 Americans, each and every one of them one too many. We cannot let the United States Congress become a victim of this pandemic as well. In the face of an unprecedented enemy, the foundation of our nation must stand strong. Lee Zeldin R-NY-1

Stepping Into the World of Unequal 2020 Risks

tepping outside of our homes presents risks. We could have a car accident on the way to work or a branch could fall on us, among myriad other potential dangers. These days, the risks of leaving our homes have escalated. We could catch the dreaded coronavirus anywhere if we stand closer than six feet to anyone. Nowadays, interactions that we engaged in all of our lives with friends D. None and family, such as shaking hands or of the above hugging, increase BY DANIEL DUNAIEF the risk of picking up the invisible enemy, bringing it to our home sanctuaries and infecting our partners, children, and parents.

We have learned to manage the risks we’ve now heard about for months by staying as far away from other people as we can and by wearing masks. And yet, for some Americans, the risks of stepping outside of homes where we were hopefully safe most of the time, was clearly higher than it was for other Americans. Indeed, the risks of dying from coronavirus differed by race. The age-adjusted death rate in Suffolk County for whites was 49.5 per 100,000 people, according to statistics from the Department of Health. For Hispanics on Long Island, that number is 108.7, which is more than twice the rate per 100,000 people. For blacks, the number is an astronomical 170.1 deaths per 100,000 people in the county, which is well over three times the rate for whites. Those statistics generally track the disproportionate toll the virus has had on communities of color. Now, layer on top of that the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd. Seemingly

at the worst possible time for our country, as businesses are just starting to reopen and as standing within 6 feet of each other increases the chance of our catching a virus that has claimed over 100,000 American lives, people are going outside in huge numbers across the country to express their outrage over Floyd’s killing at the seemingly indifferent hands of a white police officer who faces third-degree murder charges. Those African-Americans who gather, at the risk of contracting an infection that has already wreaked havoc in their communities, are expressing anger and frustration at a justice system that appears anything but just. The news coverage of the protests has often focused on the most explosive and terrifying events, where looting and setting fire to police cars and engaging in random acts of violence have occurred. Those shocking actions are inexcusable manifestations of those frustrations, turning justifiable disappointment into illegal acts. These moments also threaten to overshadow the message from so many others

who would like to see constructive changes. Many peaceful protestors, however, might have the same approach to the risks of joining others to protest Floyd’s murder that President Donald Trump (R) did to the notion of taking hydroxychloroquine, which may or may not reduce the health effects and dangers of COVID-19. What, they might wonder, do they have to lose at this point? The answer is not so simple, particularly as the risk of getting arrested, hit with a rubber bullet or vomiting from inhaling tear gas increases. The dangers in stepping outside into a world ﬁlled with a virus that infects our bodies and cultural viruses that threaten the soul of the country are especially high in a year with overtones from the civil unrest of the 1960’s. Peaceful protestors can and should demand and expect the kind of changes that will allow them and their children to step outside to a country where the risks from being out of their homes shouldn’t depend on the color of their skin.

The Year is 2020. Can We See Our Failings More Clearly?

his year will be remembered in much the same way as 2001, 1968 and even 1941 are remembered. And the year is not even half over yet. Those were years when we were embroiled in conﬂict; we the people of the United States of America. In 1968, we experienced internal strife, with protesters taking to the streets against the Vietnam War and racism in society. The other two historic years, the strife came from outside the country. This year we have both. Between It required you and me protests in 140 BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF cities across the nation, triggered by the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, to push aside the daily counts of illness and death from COVID-19 at the top of the news. And

like 1968, this is a year of national elections, so throw in a heavy dose of politics into a climate of extreme political partisanship. Peaceful demonstrations catalyzed by grief and anger at the video proof of police officers killing George Floyd, a black man in their custody, have morphed in many instances into chaotic and often deadly attacks on police as they try to control rioting, vandalism, fires and looting in the cities. Protesters have sometimes tried to stop looters, adding to the wrestling for control of the streets. And all of that is happening as more than 100,000 Americans have died and close to two million have been sickened, victims of the coronavirus. The possibility of a spike in the pandemic from the gathering of crowds pouring out of their sheltering-in-place homes in protest is another concern for health officials. The situation is certainly not helped by the more than 40 million people now unemployed. Disease, economic challenges and social unrest are combining to inflame our country. Where do we go from here? For our health problem, the answers are simpler. As our lives become more liberated by the phased openings, we must still maintain

caution during our comings and goings. We need to wear masks when interacting with others, even one other. We must practice social distancing of at least 6 feet of separation when we are with others who are new to our antiviral sheltering circle. We can get tested more easily now should symptoms prompt such action. We should continue to diligently wash our hands, especially after touching any common surfaces, like doorknobs or railings. And extra resources must be given to areas with extra caseloads. The racism problem is not so straightforward. It has been embedded in our country since before its founding, and it will take much more than words to alleviate. We need to work together across communities to root out discrimination and inequalities in health care, educational access, employment opportunities and policing. That starts with the birth of each baby in a safe and professional environment, and follows that child through pre-school right up through full schooling with competent teachers, administrators and resources, jobs that can pay at least a living wage and housing in a safe and pleasant neighborhood. Is it possible for societies to do all that?

Many systems have been tried to help level the playing field. None of them has worked so far. While all people might have equal rights, not all people have equal abilities or equal good luck. Some will always be better off than others. Democracy offers vital freedoms and choices. But the will of the majority must always be accompanied by protection for the rights of minorities. Good governments can do that. Capitalism offers rewards for enterprise. But good government must control its excesses. Presumably we can all agree on these principles. But how do we end bigotry? Racism is bigotry based on differences of skin color. Anti-Semitism is based on differences of religion, as is anti-Catholicism and anti-Muslimism and countless other theological beliefs. People kill each other over such defining differences. At different times in human history, such bigotry seems to lessen. People intermarry, live together in diverse communities, even vote each other into office. But bigotry doesn’t disappear. It merely slumbers, like a pandemic gone underground. If we are to survive as a species, we must first unite.
