Bellone signs bill to strengthen term limits in Suffolk County BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County Executive Steve Bellone (D) was joined by several county legislators on Tuesday, June 13, at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge, signing legislation that will fortify 12-year term limits for county offices. Although term limits have existed in Suffolk County since 1993, the original statute was ambiguous. This new law, which was passed unanimously by the county Legislature last month, will cement 12-year terms for the offices of executive, legislator and comptroller. Bellone considered this a much-needed

COUNTY

measure that has received “overwhelming support” from the public and that reaffirms the original intent of the 1993 law. “People really believe and understand that there is a value in turning over the people who are in office, that after a period of years — 12 years in this case — it’s time to give someone else an opportunity,” he said. “If there is a time limit in office, there’s more likely to be a focus on what’s in the interest of people rather than maintaining themselves in that office.” The 1993 law was poorly written, offering a loophole for those eager to circumvent its legislative intent, allowing officials to bypass its 12-year cap after a break in service. Bellone said this new law closes that loophole, establishing a fixed-term limit of 12 total years for each respective office. “This Legislature has made it clear in this action today that they want to limit government, that they want to limit the time that someone can serve,” the county executive said. “Our experience here in Suffolk County is that that is absolutely a good thing.” Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) shared why this law will benefit voters. By creating more turnover in county government, the term limits will make room for new blood and fresh ideas. “I’ve served in the Legislature for a little

bit over eight years now,” he said. “I have seen some come and go and said, ‘I hate to see them go.’ But you know what? Someone takes their place and we have an input of different ideas and different personalities, and I think it’s been positive.” Legislator Stephanie Bontempi (R-Centerport) sponsored this legislation. Elected for the first time in 2021, Bontempi views the term limits as a motivating influence, creating a fixed window of time for her to deliver results for her constituents.

“There will be no more sitting idly, languishing over decisions for decades,” she said. “I want to actually produce results.” The legislator added, “It just simply is good government — new ideas, new candidates.” The law will make one final pit stop before it is formally enacted. County voters will weigh in on the matter in a referendum this November. Both the county executive and the legislators present urged Suffolk County residents to ratify this legislation.

Homelessness: A national disgrace and a thorny local issue

BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

After serving out a 17-year state prison sentence, Devon Toney returned to society unprepared for the challenges ahead. Toney described parole as just another pressurized situation in a string of highpressure environments that he has experienced since childhood. Parole, he said, only aggravated his post-traumatic stress disorder, stymying any opportunities for upward growth. He soon entered the shelter system in Suffolk County, traveling between homeless shelters and health care facilities, his most recent stay at The Linkage Center in Huntington. Eventually, feeling suffocated in the shelters and unable to sleep among strangers, he left that system for a life on the streets. By night, he slept in train stations, bus stations, dugouts and public parks. By day, he stole, often reselling juices and water just to get by. Without adequate resources and a lack of attention, Toney said those experiencing homelessness “have to steal,” that life on the streets “causes clean people — healthy people — to become addicts because that’s all they’re around.” Toney remains homeless to the present day, currently residing near Ross Memorial Park in Brentwood. His story is one of countless examples of how easily one can become homeless after giving up on shelter, falling through the cracks with few opportunities to rise above these dire circumstances.

COMMUNITY

A startling trend

Mike Giuffrida, associate director of the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, a nonprofit that works throughout Long Island to determine better strategies and policies to address homelessness, said he has noticed a recent trend of others fleeing from shelters. “Although emergency shelter is available to the majority of people who present as having nowhere else to go, we are seeing an increased rate of individuals who are presenting as unsheltered and are living on the street,” he said. Motivating this shelter shock, Giuffrida sees two principal factors: “The greatest commonality of people that experience homelessness is … significant trauma, likely throughout the majority — if not all — of their lives,” he said. The second factor is the structure of the shelter system, which is constrained by strict guidelines from New York State and “can be retraumatizing for people or the shelter settings do not meet their needs.” An aversion to communal living is commonplace among those requesting

emergency shelter. In addition, occupants of these shelters are often asked to give up considerable portions of their income for shelter payments. “They pay, in some cases, almost all of their income in order to stay in that undesirable location,” Giuffrida said. Clusters of homeless encampments can be found in areas throughout Suffolk County. Brookhaven Town Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) says there are likely dozens of individuals experiencing homelessness in his council district alone, concentrated primarily in Port Jefferson Station. Kornreich complained about how he is limited in his capacity to help, saying he wishes that he could do more. “It’s probably one of the most difficult and complex moral

and legal issues that I deal with,” he said. “The Town of Brookhaven doesn’t have any functions with respect to social services or enforcement, but because this is an area of concern to me, I try to identify people who might be in need of services and try to either talk to people myself or put them in touch with services.” Those services are provided through the Suffolk County Department of Social Services. In an emailed statement, a spokesperson affiliated with DSS outlined the array of options that are available through the department. “The Suffolk County Department of Social Services offers temporary housing assistance, in shelter settings, to eligible individuals and families experiencing

homelessness,” the spokesperson said. “We contract with nonprofit agencies that provide case management services to each client based on their individual needs, with a focus on housing support. Services may include referrals to community agencies, mental health programs, as well as medical services. These services, with the support and encouragement of shelter staff, work in concert to transition those experiencing homelessness to appropriate permanent housing resources.” In an interview, County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide economic challenges have only exacerbated the conditions of homelessness throughout the county. Despite external barriers, he holds that there is room for improvement. “More could always be done, of course,” he said. “We are — as I’ve said many times before — coming out of COVID and grappling with impacts and effects that we’re going to be dealing with for years to come and that we don’t fully understand yet.” He added, “The Department of Social Services has, throughout COVID, and as we’ve started to move out of that now, worked very hard to fulfill its mission and will continue to do that.”

Accepting services: A two-way street

Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) detailed the decades-long history of homelessness in Coram. She argues that it is closely tied to other pressing matters facing county government: public safety, access to health care, the opioid epidemic and inadequate compensation for social workers. The county legislator also blamed stringent state guidelines that handicap DSS’s outreach efforts. “The frustrating part is that we are limited,” Anker said. “We are limited in forcing a person to get medical treatment.” Legislator Nick Caracappa (C-Selden), the majority leader of the county Legislature, voiced similar frustrations. He said he is concerned by the growing number of people that reject services from DSS. “Even though you offer them help, you offer them shelter, and you offer them medical [assistance], they often turn it down,” he said. “They’d rather be out in the cold, alone, in the dark — whatever it is — than seek help. And that’s concerning.” Emily Murphy, a licensed social worker who wrote a thesis paper investigating homelessness in Port Jefferson Station, said another significant problem is the lack of assistance for undocumented immigrants, HOMELESSNESS CONTINUED ON A8

Romaine, Kornreich take ﬁrst ride aboard new Harbormaster boat in Port Jeff Harbor

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) set sail at Port Jefferson Harbor on Wednesday, July 6, to take the first ride on the Town’s new 31-foot EMT Special Purpose Vessel. This new Harbormaster boat improves the maritime security of the town’s waterways, according to officials, protecting the boating public and critical infrastructure by responding quickly and efficiently to emergencies, rescues, natural disasters and other response scenarios. The vessel’s technology greatly improves the effectiveness of addressing environmental concerns, such as fishing and shellfishing enforcement. It also enhances the Harbormaster’s capability to work alongside the United States Coast Guard and other agencies during search and rescue operations. To purchase the vessel, the Town of Brookhaven successfully applied for, and received, a Port Security Grant issued by the Department Homeland Security/ Federal Emergency Management Administration. This 31-foot, state-of-the-art patrol vessel will replace the town’s older 27-foot patrol boat. (Left to right) Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich, Supervisor Ed Romaine and Harbormaster Bill Demorest.

Team building

Earl L. Vandermeulen High School and the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame partner up Earl L. Vandermeulen High School continues to add to its unique educational offerings and, with the input of one of its teachers and a multisport coach, will offer a sports history class in fall 2022 in conjunction with the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame. The program will be a distinctive opportunity for Port Jefferson students to learn about local sports history, providing them with unique experiences in the classroom, on research-based projects and at Hall of Fame events. This is the first program of its kind in the 32-year history of the Hall of Fame, which serves to honor people and places of historic significance in Suffolk County. The course, developed by social studies teacher Bryan Vaccaro and approved by both the Port Jefferson Board of Education and the district administration, will be enhanced by lessons developed by Hall of Fame staffers who will line up guest speakers and work directly with Port Jefferson’s faculty on content creation. The program is designed to nurture opportunities related to history, research and media. Vaccaro’s brother, Chris Vaccaro, serves as president of the Hall of Fame and was instrumental in forming the partnership with the school district. He cited Port Jefferson’s

outstanding academic track record as an asset which will help the Hall of Fame to evolve its purpose and place on Long Island.

Key aspects of the partnership

Curriculum and lessons: The Hall of Fame will work with the high school social studies department to create lessons and curriculum related to local sports history. Guest speakers: Inductees of the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame will visit the class in person or via Zoom throughout the school year. Induction attendees: Students will have the opportunity to attend the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame induction in June and help provide social media support, thus improving their media and sports business skills and understanding. Historic research projects: The class will research local places of sporting signiﬁcance and make recommendations to the Hall of Fame on where to place future historic markers. Inductee research projects: Students will research notable sports people and make recommendations to the Hall of Fame voting committee on potential future inductees. Sports content creation: Student work and research will be featured on the Hall of Fame’s website and social media pages with faculty approval. “We are so appreciative of Brian Vaccaro’s

Murphy also observed how a lack of political mobilization hampers the homeless community from receiving adequate government representation. “That was the main thing,” Murphy said, referring to the homeless population. “It was a voice that was so often unheard and unlistened to.”

The gradual downward slope

Joel Blau, professor emeritus of the School of Social Welfare at Stony Brook University, has followed trends in homelessness for decades. He attributes rising homelessness in the United States since the 1970s to the stagnation of wages across that time frame coupled with the rising cost of housing. “The notion of somebody with a high school education maintaining a decent standard of living is becoming ever more elusive,” he said. “Housing prices, particularly in cities, have escalated a lot, so unless you have two professionals in the family or one person who makes a lot of money, it’s increasingly difficult to get decent housing.” Today, a growing number of people are just one step away from losing their homes. “Whether it be an accident or an illness or the loss of a job, all of a sudden they’re

plummeting downward and onto the street,” he said. Evaluating long-term projections of homelessness, Blau said there have been “periods where it plateaus and periods where it gets worse.” On the whole, he said, “the general trend is downward.” Blau believes the way to remedy the issue is to change the ways in which society is organized. “It would require social housing, decommodifying it so that housing is a right, not something sold for profit,” he said. “And that’s probably, under the present political circumstances, a bridge too far.” In other words, problems associated with homelessness in this country have grown for many years and are likely to continue.

a grassroots organization to combat homelessness in the community. Toney said his primary goal is to access adequate housing. After that, he intends to galvanize his peers in the community, serving as a beacon for those who are also going through the struggle of homelessness. As someone who has experienced homelessness firsthand and who can relate to the plight, Toney believes he is uniquely situated to be an agent of change and a force of good. “I need to be the one that interacts with these gang members, these addicts … they need somebody to articulate things to them,” he said. “We need to comfort them. We need to let them know that we love and we care about them.”

Toney has partnered with Latoya Bazmore, also of Brentwood, to create A.I.N.T. (All Included ’N’ Treated),

All 750 of Suffolk County’s monkeypox vaccinations claimed in under two hours BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Amid an increase in cases of a virus caused primarily by close skin contact, Suffolk County started to provide vaccinations this week. By appointment only, Suffolk County is administering 750 vaccinations to eligible people at pop-up clinics on Fire Island. Within under two hours, the county, with help from Northwell Health, had received requests for all of the available vaccines. “It was heartwarming that so many people signed up for the vaccine right away in the at-risk community,” said Dr. David Galinkin, an infectious disease specialist at Port Jefferson-based St. Charles Hospital. People want to “stop this in its tracks.” While monkeypox was discovered in 1958 and had its first reported cases in humans in 1970, the current limited outbreak is the first time health officials documented it spreading through person-to-person contact in the United States. Previous outbreaks involved a returning traveler from Africa or through contact with an infected animal. As of the end of last week, Suffolk County had reported three cases of monkeypox. About 98% of the cases in the country were reported among members of the gay and bisexual community of men who have sex with other men, Galinkin said. A rare condition, monkeypox has symptoms including fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, chills, exhaustion, and a rash that looks like pimples or blisters on people’s faces, inside their mouths and on hands, feet, chest and genitals. People who contract monkeypox can have symptoms that last for two to four weeks. “While the current global outbreak appears to have heavily impacted [men who have sex with men], it is important to understand that this is a disease that is transmitted by intimate prolonged contact with an infected individual,” Dr. Susan Donelan, medical director of Healthcare Epidemiology at Stony Brook Medicine, explained in an email. Medical officials pointed out that monkeypox doesn’t present the same threat to public health as COVID-19, which can be spread by breathing in air contaminated with viral particles. Health officials, however, are urging people to take steps to protect themselves against a virus that can be uncomfortable and that can spread to others through various levels of contact. “Most important to understand is that monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease,” Dr. Adrian Popp, chair of Infection Control at Huntington Hospital/Northwell

Health. “It is sufficient to touch an active lesion to be exposed.”

Prevention

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has considerable information on a website dedicated to monkeypox, which people can access at the link: www.cdc.gov/ poxvirus/monkeypox The CDC urges people to avoid close skin to skin contact with the rash. The center also recommends that people not kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with someone who has the virus. People should not handle or touch the bedding, towels or clothing of someone who is sick. To protect themselves, those who might have come in contact with a person who has monkeypox should wash their hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Adding to the list of concerns during pregnancy, women can spread the virus to their fetus through the placenta. Unlike COVID, people who do not have monkeypox symptoms can’t spread the virus to others.

Vaccinations

The most commonly used vaccinations involve two shots that are 28 days apart. Like vaccines for COVID, the optimal protection is expected two weeks after the second dose, Donelan said. The CDC recommends that people who are close personal contacts of those with the virus get the vaccine. The center also urges those who may have been at increased risk of exposure, through laboratory testing, to consider receiving shots as well. The CDC suggested that people get the

vaccines within four days from the date of exposure for the best chance to avoid developing the disease. Vaccines given between four and 14 days after exposure may reduce symptoms but may not prevent the disease. Combining the vaccination with selfisolation and other measures can control outbreaks and prevent further transmission of the virus, the CDC explained. Monkeypox vaccines aren’t as readily available as those for COVID. “As vaccine production ramps up, we will expand our operations to ensure that anyone who wants to get vaccinated is able to,” County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said in a statement. Dr. Gregson Pigott, county health commissioner, also explained in a statement that he encourages “those who may be at risk to get the vaccine and, in the meantime, be cautious with your intimate relations.”

COVID-19 update

COVID, meanwhile, continues to spread through Suffolk County, despite the warmer weather and the greater opportunity for outdoor interactions. As of July 10, the seven-day average for positive tests was 9.3%, according to the New York State Department of Health. That is up from 7.5% on a seven-day average in June. “The incidence of COVID has increased in the last few weeks in Suffolk County,” wrote Popp, of Huntington Hospital, which, earlier this week, had 15 COVID patients at the hospital. The high current positive rate is “likely due to the fact that most COVID-related prevention measures have been discontinued”

including masks and social distancing and the current omicron subvariants are also more transmissible, Popp said. As of July 11, Stony brook University Hospital had 52 positive COVID inpatients, compared with 39 on June 11, according to Stony Brook Medicine officials. Over the past weekend, Galinkin admitted more patients with COVID at St. Charles Hospital than he had in months. “It seems to be on the rebound,” he said, as the BA-5 strain is the “most contagious strain we’ve seen,” he said. He expects the numbers to continue to rise. COVID symptoms from BA-4 and BA-5, which are the dominant variants in Suffolk County are milder than previous types. Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, wrote in an email. The hospital is also seeing much less frequent loss of smell or taste with the current variant. Nachman is concerned about possible increased rates of infection in the fall and winter. “Overlying that concern is the heightened risk of our routine, formerly seasonal viruses co-occurring with COVID leading to more illness visits and hospitalizations, especially among our most vulnerable populations,” Nachman said in an email. Galinkin said the higher level of COVID infections underscores the importance of vaccinations. “It’s our best defense against this,” he said. “There’s talk of a new and improved vaccine coming out in the fall” that will provide protection against omicron variants. “Hopefully, people will take advantage of that.”

Jewish Summer Festival returns to Three Village

The Village Chabad once again welcomed community members to its Jewish Summer Festival on July 10. The event took place for the first time since 2018 on the Chabad’s property on Nicolls Road in East Setauket. In 2019, the Chabad held its grand opening celebration for its new building in place of the summer festival , which was held at West Meadow Beach in previous years. The last two years, the

festival was unable to be held due to the pandemic. Approximately 250 people attended this year, according to Rabbi Motti Grossbaum. Attendees enjoyed a barbecue and activities, which included face painting and giveaways.

Local librarians face less book challenges than national peers BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Ted Gutmann said in his more than 10 years as library director of Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in Setauket, he is only aware of a handful of complaints about books or other materials during his tenure. He said the reasons and topics of the material vary. The director said the most recent criticism he can remember was about a video in the adult section. Debra Engelhardt, Comsewogue Public Library director, said during her decade as director, she has not had a patron fill out the paperwork needed to place a complaint about library material or displays. Like many other libraries, a form can be found on the library’s website. She said people sometimes comment or ask employees questions face to face about different displays featured during the year. “Some of them are a little more negative and some of them are more positive, but with every one, we have the opportunity to have a conversation with a community member and help them to better understand why we’re here and what we do,” Engelhardt said.

‘They know the needs of a community and the people who are walking through their doors.’

Suffolk County libraries such as Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, above, have encountered less controversy over books than many other libraries in the nation, according to local library professionals. File photo by Heidi Sutton

Gutmann applauded librarians. “We serve everybody from children to adults, and there’s a wide range, a multitude of subjects and viewpoints historically and

otherwise represented in the collections,” he said. “That’s what our public libraries are for. I think our librarians do a great job at maintaining those collections.”

Despite Americans across the nation challenging librarians for their material choices, Suffolk County libraries have dealt with few issues. According to the recent The New York Times article, “With Rising Book Bans, Librarians Have Come Under Attack,” librarians across the U.S. have found themselves on the front lines of book banning movements, often criticized publicly or on social media. Some have even quit their jobs or have been fired over debates about removing books from a library’s shelves. A controversy involving a library on the North Shore of Suffolk County recently revolved around a Pride Month display, which included books, in the children’s sections in The Smithtown Library branches. On June 21, the library board trustees voted 4-2, with one member absent, to remove pride displays, which included signs and books, in the children’s sections in its Smithtown, Training and choosing Commack, Kings Park and Nesconset Ivie said while patrons may find library branches.

Igarashi named dean of SBU Medical School, effective in September BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Stony Brook University’s Renaissance School of Medicine has named Dr. Peter Igarashi, a nephrologist and physician scientist, as its new dean, effective Sept. 12. Igarashi comes to Stony Brook from the University of Minnesota Medical School, where he is the Nesbitt Chair, professor and head of the Department of Medicine. At the University of Minnesota, the new dean oversaw 600 full-time and affiliate faculty, 100 adjunct faculty, and over 240 residents and fellows, all while increasing National Institutes of Health funding by 60%. At UMN, he also helped to cut gender pay disparities, appointed women to leadership positions, developed new multidisciplinary programs, and created an Office of Faculty Affairs and Diversity. “Dr. Igarashi is a superb, academically accomplished physician leader with a highly successful track record of clinical program growth and research advancement,” Dr. Hal Paz, executive vice president of Health Sciences at SBU and chief executive officer of Stony Brook University Medicine, said in a statement. Igarashi has received over $25 million in funding from the NIH during a career in which he has studied polycystic kidney disease, transcriptional regulation, epigenetics and kidney development. Polycystic kidney disease, or PKD, is an inherited disorder that involves the development of clusters of cysts, primarily in the kidney. Symptoms of the disease can include high blood pressure, loss of kidney function, chronic pain and the growth of cysts in the liver, among others. His lab developed unique lines of transgenic mice that he has used to study kidney-specific transgene expression and gene targeting. In addition to writing nine chapters in textbooks, Dr. Igarashi has also authored more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles. Before his seven-year stint at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Igarashi had been Chief of the Division of Nephrology and founding director of the O’Brien Kidney Research Core Center at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. At the University of Texas, Dr. Igarashi created services to provide regular kidney dialysis to undocumented and other often marginalized patients. He also led an effort to use artificial intelligence to identify and optimize co-management of patients with hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney

disease in primary care practices. A recipient of the NIH Merit Award, Dr. Igarashi also won the 2015 Lillian Jean Kaplan International Prize in polycystic kidney disease. The award honored his contribution to the goal of developing treatments and a cure for polycystic kidney disease. Dr. Igarashi earned his medical degree from the UCLA School of Medicine and completed an internal medicine residency at the University of California Davis Medical Center. He did a nephrology fellowship at Yale University and also taught at the Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Igarashi is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He is a member of the American Heart Association Kidney Council, the American Physiological Society, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Society of Nephrology and the Association of American Physicians. Dr. William Wertheim had been the interim dean of the Renaissance School of Medicine since February 2021, following Dr. Kenneth Kaushansky’s retirement after serving as dean and senior vice president of health sciences for 11 years. Dr. Wertheim will return to his role as vice dean for graduate medical education. He will also have a leadership role at the Stony Brook Medicine Community Medical Group, which is an arm of Stony Brook Medicine and includes over 35 community practices with over 50 locations across Long Island.

Letters to the Editor Calone announces run for county executive

I am excited to let you know that I have decided to run for Suffolk County executive on the Democratic ticket next year when County Executive Steve Bellone’s [D] last term ends. The reason I’m running is you. Throughout my life here in Suffolk, I’ve had the privilege to know the most amazing people: Workers in every industry who make every day possible for all of us, teachers who changed my life, community and nonproﬁt leaders who advocate and inspire, scientists and entrepreneurs who innovate, nurses and doctors who cared for my loved ones, good friends, and people I’ve just met along the way. Suffolk County has tremendous assets — from terriﬁc schools to sandy shores, from world-class research institutions to a dedicated and diverse workforce. We need to make sure that all of our residents have access to a goodpaying job, clean air and water, and a safe, thriving community. As an entrepreneur and business leader, I focus on starting and building innovative companies that create jobs on Long Island and around the country. I led efforts to protect our environment, while encouraging sustainable development and housing, when I served as chair of the Suffolk County Planning Commission. And I fought corporate fraud and abuse and terrorism as a federal prosecutor and New York State special assistant attorney general. Now I want to use those experiences and skills to move Suffolk forward. In the last few years, we have faced unprecedented loss and challenges. And I have seen local communities — all of you — come together with resilience, determination and tremendous care for one another. Our strength is each other, and I’m eager to get to work for you. I’ll also need your help. You can contact me with your ideas and/or to volunteer here: info@caloneforsuffolk.com. Thank you for making Suffolk County the place I love to call home. With your trust, I promise to work hard as your next county executive. Dave Calone Setauket

Citizens must be active in local affairs

Thank you for the editorial, “In post-Roe America, locality is the mentality” [July 7]. The message is wonderful. I strongly agree that citizens must be active in local affairs. The federal government is such a behemoth of bureaucracy. Your message reminds me of my grade school days, where I learned one of President John F. Kennedy’s [D] famous lines: “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” I believe state and local governments have a direct impact on citizen life. It will be great if you can expand on this editorial by discussing

the importance of young people receiving civic lessons. Having access to these lessons for adults would be great, also. With these lessons, citizens can learn about political redistricting, voter suppression, nepotism, quid pro quo, counting jelly beans to vote and secret town hall meetings. Such nefarious activities are entrenched in local politics. Just ask former county executives Ed Mangano [R-Nassau] and Steve Levy [D-Suffolk], also former Suffolk District Attorney Tom Spota [D]. Lisa Roller Smithtown

Supreme Court debates rage on

I disagree with the editorial appearing in the TBR News Media July 7 editions, “In post-Roe America locality is the mentality.” To begin with, the recent Supreme Court decisions don’t signiﬁcantly shift power away from the federal government to states and localities. Instead, they shift power away from the elected branches of the federal government, namely the presidency and Congress, to the unelected Supreme Court. The editorial perpetuates the confusion between giving power to the people and giving power to state legislatures. This confusion is evident in the Dobbs decision, which equates returning power to the people with returning it to their “elected representatives.” Most state legislatures are heavily gerrymandered, giving one party a semipermanent majority even if it fails to win a majority of votes statewide. In effect, it’s the politicians who choose the voters, not the other way around. Increasing the power of state legislatures is not giving power to the people. This editorial also implies that giving state governments more power is an unalloyed good thing. Well maybe it is — sometimes. It’s not such a good thing, though, when a state government

Editorial

Trust your librarian

Most professionals have some formal education, specialized knowledge or years of training in their field. Librarians are no different. So why are librarians across the nation being challenged on their collection choices in public libraries? A recent article in The New York Times, “With Rising Book Bans, Librarians Have Come Under Attack,” delved into the issues these public servants have faced as more Americans look to ban books, especially those addressing LGBTQ+ rights and racial inequality. It’s a librarian’s job to choose books and other items that cover a wide variety of topics so that all community members can find materials they can relate to or help them learn and expand their horizons. Librarians have devoted years of study, usually obtaining a master’s degree in library sciences, to properly choose the books on the shelves. Libraries have written procedures for librarians to follow when choosing collections. They weigh the opinions of critics and reviewers, evaluate the community’s needs and consider age appropriateness, among other criteria. The books they choose and place on the shelves are sacred. Not all may be award worthy or to everyone’s liking. Still, the authors have taken their time to share their experiences, knowledge, imagination or all of these to let readers know they are not alone. Books transport us, taking us on an adventure, educating us in the process. It’s for this reason that books are not to be banned or burned. They are meant to be respected. One doesn’t have to like a topic or how it’s written to accept its right to exist and Americans’ rights to read and write about what they desire. Recently, The Smithtown Library Board of Trustees instructed all of the library’s branches to take down the Pride Month displays, which included books, in the children’s sections. After criticism from residents, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and the New York Library Association, the board reversed its decision two days later, and returned the displays to the sections. After the reversal was voted on, board president Brianna Baker-Stines, who voted against removing the displays, said, “We need to trust the staff we hired.” Some parents and guardians may be troubled by what they see in the young adult and children’s sections based on what they feel comfortable with, but they must remember that public libraries are not just for them — they are for everyone in their community and everyone has different needs and comfort levels. Everyone must feel acknowledged. Ultimately, it’s the job of a parent or guardian to monitor what their child or teenager is reading. When it comes to younger children roaming around the library, it’s up to those same adults to monitor them, and they have every right to steer their children away if they feel they may see or grab a book that the particular child may not be ready for. Yes, sometimes an image of seeing someone different from them may prompt a little one to ask questions. When an adult welcomes a child into their world, whether they like it or not, answering questions comes with the territory. It’s their job. As adults, we have an obligation to assimilate our youth into our increasingly diverse, intricate adult world. We do children no favors by shielding them from the realities of 21st-century life. And our public librarians serve a vital function in bringing attention to those realities. It’s not up to librarians to choose books for you or your child specifically. That happens when you check out a book. It is their job to provide a variety of material to educate and entertain the community as a whole. Let them do the job that they are trained to do.

Letters to the Editor Continued from A21

and fearmongering, anti-vaccine and anti-masking. He enjoys “owning the opposition” instead of helping his constituents. He voted against infrastructure, against cutting insulin prices, against voting rights, against gun reform, against money for police and veterans, against infant formula, against SALT deductions and against health care. Infatuated with Trumpism, Zeldin feeds on political opportunism, speaking out of both sides of his mouth — noted by Newsday in his 2020 run — and has risen to the respective incompetence of the Peter Principle. New Yorkers must reject this antidemocracy radical. Hochul deserves our votes, promising to preserve all the rights of women, LGBTQ+, workers and unions, to protect public health and safety, and to transition to renewable energy. Get out and vote onward and upward New York, not backward! Caral Bond East Setauket

USPS: Servicing our community

It is a great honor to serve Port Jefferson Station as your postmaster. In my 25 years with the United States Postal Service, I have seen firsthand the role the Postal Service plays connecting neighbors and our community to the nation. Our post offices serve as a lifeline for our small businesses to reach customers no matter where they are. Under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s leadership and “Delivering for America” — the Postal Service’s 10-year plan — we are maintaining universal sixday mail delivery and expanded sevenday package delivery, stabilizing our workforce and spurring innovation to meet the needs of our modern customers. From an incredibly successful 2021

holiday mail and shipping season to our recent role delivering COVID-19 test kits, the Postal Service continues to provide a vital service for our nation and our community on Long Island. On behalf of the 650,000 men and women of the United States Postal Service, I thank you for continuing to support the Postal Service. Providing reliable mail delivery while strengthening the future of this treasured institution is our commitment to you. Frank Kouba, Postmaster Port Jefferson Station

More delays for delivery of new LIRR M9 electric cars

The most recent announced additional delays associated with the Long Island Rail Road’s $734 million procurement of 202 new M9 electric replacement cars contract, originally awarded in 2013, is nothing new. When has there ever been any Metropolitan Transportation Authority, LIRR, Metro-North, New York City Transit, Federal Transit Administration or locally funded commuter rail or subway car procurement ever completed on time, within budget and without contract change orders? Ongoing problems with this purchase have continued for years. In 2020, the MTA’s own independent engineering consultant forecast an October 2022 completion date. The LIRR was more optimistic about meeting an earlier date. Over time, both were proven wrong. The LIRR now promises that all of the 202 cars will be delivered by September 2023. This new 17-month delay, on top of the previous delays, will result in completion for all deliveries three years later than promised. Who can guarantee that the vendor will meet this latest project recovery schedule’s September 2023 date? The oldest M3 cars scheduled to be replaced will continue in service far longer than planned before all new cars arrive

and are ready for commuters to board. As a result, the LIRR will incur additional maintenance and operating costs keeping this outdated equipment beyond its intended useful service life. Instead of being retired, too many M3 cars will continue operating, beyond the opening of East Side Access to Grand Central Madison this December, by one additional year to December 2023. When it comes to this project, the LIRR 1960s motto “Line of the Dashing Dan” should be changed now to “Line of the Slow Moving Sloth.” Larry Penner Great Neck

Keep crime out of Port Jeff Station

As an astute observer of the Route 112 corridor, I often see acts of lawlessness and criminality. As these instances have become commonplace in Port Jefferson Station — and with no end in sight — I am crestfallen. Time and again, I have consulted with the various members of our law enforcement community, reporting to them my findings. I am heartened by their efforts to make our community a better, safer place. But the truth is that curbing crime on our streets requires additional officers, more resources and greater input from community members. I am asking your readers to partner with me in our common endeavor to stop criminal activity on our streets. We must be mindful that there are honest citizens in our midst, many of whom are imprisoned inside their homes and vehicles out of fear of walking these mean streets. We can do more for them. Together let’s work to investigate and mitigate criminality in our community, freeing it up for the hardworking, honest and law-abiding citizens of our otherwise lovely home port. George J. Lindner Port Jefferson Station

Opinion

The complexities of plural nouns and words for animal groups

he English language makes no sense. As soon as you create a rule, exceptions crop up like mushrooms colonizing an open field. Let’s start with the plural form of nouns. “Add an ‘s’ and be done with it,” you might say. While that’s a simple solution, the language laughs in the face of such elegant simplicity. Take the words “chief” and “thief.” Chief” becomes “chiefs” easily enough, as Kansas City football fans will readily D. None tell you. But then thief of the above changes everything. BY DANIEL DUNAIEF The plural becomes “thieves,” as if someone robbed the word of its “f” and replaced it with something that sounds more vile and villainous.

The plural for hoof, as in the bottom of a horse’s foot, is hooves, but the acceptable plural for roof, which also only has one different letter way at the start of the word, is roofs. Yes, I know people say “rooves,” but that doesn’t make it accurate. A root at the bottom of the tree that draws nutrients from the ground becomes roots. A single owl calling to another across the treetops utters a hoot. Several owls responding reply in hoots. So far, so good. But then, what’s wrong with those things that are important for walking and that smell up a room when they sweat too much? How is it that foot, which also only differs in the initial letter, becomes feet? Then there are the plural forms of animals. A mouse hunting for food with his rodent pals becomes mice, while a moose eating in a field with his family becomes, well, moose. The moose, however, hasn’t cornered the market on words that describe an individual and a group. Deer, sheep, salmon and trout also don’t budge when switching from one to several.

And why are the words for a group of animals different? Couldn’t they all be packs, herds, groups or schools? Wolves banding together to hunt, live and howl form a pack. A family of giraffes is, fittingly, called a tower. That seems appropriate for animals that are born 6 feet tall. But what about a collection of bears? They’re a sleuth, while a group of bats is a cloud. One goose pooping on a field is inconvenient and messy, but is still a goose. Two of them are geese. A group of them walking on the ground is a gaggle, while those same birds in flight become a skein. People often describe the challenge of bringing people together as akin to herding cats. While the verb is accurate, the name for a group of cats is not: they are a clutter, a glaring or a pounce, although numerous other words also describe a cat confab. Now, more than one dolphin, those adorable marine mammals that make cool clicking sounds and perform at aquariums, becomes a

school, which is also true of more than one fish, even though other marine mammals, such as walruses become herds or pods When several ducks get together, they aren’t a flock, despite the fact that they are birds. They are a raft, perhaps reflecting the fact that they look like independent floats sitting on the water. Sea lions also become rafts when they’re together in the water. Returning to those hooting owls, they become a parliament. Sure, that makes sense. A group of hippos is called a bloat. While hippos average 3,310 pounds as an adult, the same word doesn’t apply to the larger elephant, which is part of a herd. A number of crows is a murder, reflecting, perhaps, their ominous role in literature. Penguins may take the word group crown, having a wide array of terms for them when they get together. A group is called a colony, rookery or huddles. It doesn’t end there. Swimming penguins, like ducks, are a raft. More likely than not, you might guess the name for walking penguins: they are a waddle.

again began to flutter its wings. The probability of catching it in the towel seemed remote. I closed the doors, went to the phone and called my friendly and helpful exterminator. “We don’t really do that kind of work,” he said with surprise. “But I can recommend a wildlife rescue person.” I’ll text you his phone number as soon as I can find it.” With that, he got off the phone, leaving me alone with a bird in my chimney. I needed to mobilize. I called by neighbor, even though I knew she was terrified of birds in the house from a nasty experience she had as a child. Good soul that she is, she came right over and viewed the situation. The bird was definitely alive and fluttering. Poor thing. The count was now two nervous women and one nervous bird. Perhaps the most nervous was my friend. I checked my texts, found the recommendation for the rescuer and immediately called. “I’ll be glad to help you out,” he said. “Where do you live?” When I told him, he assured me that he

was nearby and could get there in just a few minutes. “My price is $150 for the visit and $100 to remove the bird,” he informed me. That gave me serious pause. “Um, I’ll call you back,” I said. “OK,” he replied and hung up. I looked at my friend, who had heard the conversation, and who now looked back at me with a strange light in her eyes. “Are your plastic gloves still in the bottom drawer? she asked. Dashing into the kitchen, she reappeared, pulling on the gloves. To my surprise, she opened the doors, climbed into the fireplace, gently lifted the bird from under brick, ran across the room to the open door and put it down on the outside table. It stood still. We brought water and put the aluminum plate on the far side of the table. It still didn’t move, just watched us as we watched it. Then, as we started to move, it took off and flew away. We cheered loudly, both for the bird and for my neighbor. She had managed to overcome her intense fear in order to preserve a life and also to save my purse.

Flying high at my house

t was an ominous sound. Behind the closed glass doors of our fireplace, there seemed to be a fluttering. It must be an odd gust of wind, I hoped. Deep down, I knew it wasn’t. On closer but timid examination, I could make out the frantic beating of the wings of a bird that had somehow fallen down the chimney and was struggling to escape. What to do? If I opened the fireplace doors and the door to the back deck, would the bird immediately fly Between through the living room and out of the you and me house? I doubted that. BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF It was probably dazed and disoriented and would buzz around the ceiling, wildly flapping its wings. How could

I steer it in the right direction? Maybe with a broom? Would it think I was attacking and peck at me? When in doubt about any of life’s challenges, I often consult the support system of my office staff. I called, explained the situation to our always patient receptionist, and was immediately transferred to the member of the art department who most often deals with suburban wildlife. “Get a small towel, open the fireplace doors a crack and see if you can catch the bird in the towel as it tries to fly out. You can carry it to the outside door and let it loose,” she suggested. Then, because she is a wonderfully generous human being, she asked if I wanted her husband to stop by. I declined the offer, thanked her and did as she directed, nervously opening the doors a little and peering inside. At this point, the bird was lying on its side, under a low brick that protruded from the back of the fireplace. I was afraid it was dead. But then, it stood up and
