Hospitals allow family, friends to visit patients

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

In response to an easing of state regulations and their approach to patient care, area hospitals are relaxing restrictions about patient visitors.

Starting March 29, Huntington Hospital has allowed patients who do not have COVID-19 to have one visitor per day, between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.

St. Charles and St. Catherine of Siena hospitals also allow one COVID-19 negative visitor per day during those same hours.

Huntington Hospital is responding to the medical, emotional and personal need its patients have for the support of family and friends during whatever health challenges they face.

“There is nothing like having your loved one at your bedside, holding your hand,” said Cheryl Miranda, director of Patient Experience at Huntington Hospital, which is a part of Northwell Health.

Family also provides helpful information, helping medical professionals know whether a patient’s behavior is different from normal “As a nurse, I’ve always felt that family is part of the caregiving circle,” Miranda said. “The family knows their loved one better than anyone.

They will help us provide better care.”

St. Charles Hospital and St. Catherine of Siena started allowing one hospital visitor per COVID-negative patient per day starting about four weeks ago.

Stony Brook is making several changes to its

National

visitation policy.

As of April 1, the hospital is allowing two visitors for patients in labor and delivery, for pediatric patients and for patients in end-of-life situations. This will increase from one to two.

Patients receiving same day surgical procedures will also be allowed a patient visitor until a procedure begins. The visitor is required to wait outside during the procedure and then can return during the patient’s release from the hospital.

Inpatient child psychiatry will also allow a visitor, as will cancer center and outpatient offices.

Approved visitors to Stony Brook must wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth the entire time, will have symptom checks, including thermal scanning, will not be allowed outside the patient’s room, must maintain six feet of distance and must wash their hands on entering and leaving the room.

Hospitals had generally restricted most or all patient visitors over various periods in the last year amid the pandemic to limit the spread of COVID-19. Nurses throughout Long Island and the world have used tablets, phones and other technology to help their patients connect with family members, enabling them to see spouses, siblings, children, grandchildren and friends from hospital beds that often had them feeling isolated during their health battles.

Allowing visitors, who are still required to wear masks, will help hospitalized patients feel more normal and receive the kind of support that can brighten their day while shortening their hospital visit.

Cheryl Miranda, director of Patient Experience at Huntington Hospital, has been planning the new visitation policy since the beginning of the month. Photo from Huntington Hospital

A hospital employee will screen patients on their way into the hospital, asking them questions about any possible symptoms and taking their temperature.

Visitors who are COVID-19 positive can’t enter. Additionally, visitors who come in from out of the state or whom they believe necessitates a screening will have a rapid swab.

“We are not asking everyone to be tested,” Miranda said.

The hospital is spreading the word about its new patient visitor policy by changing its on-hold messages, is sharing information on TV sets and is telling families directly during virtual visits that one person at a time can come to the hospital.

Patients can determine who visits, which includes family members and friends.

Miranda said the medical staff is well-prepared for an increase in visitors through the hospital.

“I don’t have to tell anybody in this building to follow precautions,” Miranda said. “We’ve all been through this for 13 months now and there isn’t anyone” who needs reminding about personal protective equipment, hand washing or social distancing.

Initially, Huntington Hospital workers will escort visitors to patient rooms, reminding them about safety policies.

During visits, patients and visitors are expected to wear masks. If a family member comes during mealtime or brings food, the patient can eat, but should do so at a safe distance.

Miranda, who has been at Huntington Hospital for 20 years, realizes the suffering patients and their families have endured during the pandemic.

“To tell someone they can’t be here is an awful, awful thing,” Miranda said. “My heart goes out to the families that haven’t been allowed to be here” and to the patients who “haven’t been able to have their loved ones at their side.”

Miranda has been planning this new visitation policy since the beginning of the month.

With Suez Canal ship freed, global economic risks lessen

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It became the stuck ship seen around the world.

The Ever Given, a 1,312-foot-long cargo container ship making the journey between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, got stuck in Egypt’s Suez Canal, blocking a major sea route for hundreds of other ships bearing oil, livestock and other goods representing about 12% of the world’s global trade.

While a ship stuck in a canal initially attracted considerable comedic attention and numerous memes, the economic and global implications of an impassable Suez Canal morphed into something more serious. Syria rationed fuel amid the stopped supply, markets and stocks moved, consumer advocates warned of potential toilet paper shortages, yet again, and central bank observers started to wonder whether policy makers would be looking for signs of inflation.

The Ever Given was freed March 29, six days after clogging a canal through which 30% of the world’s daily shipping container freight passes.

The first issue after the Ever Given blocked the canal was the “uncertainty,” said Hugo Benitez-Silva, interim chair of the Department of Economics at Stony Brook University.

With the canal now freed, Egypt has indicated that it could increase the daily capacity for ships, which had been at about 106.

The uncertainty about the duration of the blockage left shipping companies in a quandary, as they considered whether to send their ships around the southern tip of Africa rather than having them anchor and join the more-than 350 idle ships outside the canal.

Maersk, the world’s largest cargo and overseas freight carrier, had redirected 15 ships around South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope and was considering turning those ships around to send them back to the now unclogged canal.

The company said in an advisory that the

“ripple effects” of the delays could take weeks or months to unravel.

Transporting goods by sea has become “more important in the last few years,” BenitezSilva said. That suggests that the effect of the blockage will be more noticeable than it would have been had either the Suez Canal or Panama Canal been blocked 10 years ago.

Had the Ever Given remained stuck for even longer, the central banks likely would have had to consider the possibility of an increase in inflation.

In an inflationary environment, companies raise the costs of their goods and services, often in response to an increase in their own costs or, sometimes, because the consumer is willing to pay more for a product.

Central banks around the world, like the Federal Reserve, can raise interest rates to combat inflation. When these banks raise rates, they tilt the balance between borrowing and saving money toward the latter, increasing the SUEZ CONTINUED ON A9

HOSPITALS

Continued from A5 The hospital has learned numerous lessons about health care, including by providing virtual support for patients.

In addition to bereavement support groups, which have been particularly busy as families mark the one-year anniversary of the loss of a loved one, the hospital is adding a long-haul support group.

Starting on Thursday, April 8 at 2 p.m., Huntington Hospital will offer support to people who have a lingering cough, ongoing debilitating fatigue, body aches, joint pain, shortness of breath, loss of taste and smell, difficulty sleeping, headaches and brain fog.

People interested in joining that group can email Kacey Farber at KFarber@Northwell.edu.

Dr. Jean Cacciabaudo, associate medical director at Huntington Hospital and a cardiologist, will sit on the long haulers support meeting.

Cacciabaudo, who had COVID-19 and has some long haulers symptoms, will attend not just for herself, but to provide the physician’s perspective.

Miranda said the bereavement support groups have helped family members amid a loss.

“It’s the beauty of humanity, when we reach out and help each other,” Miranda said. “There’s no magic solution for grief and loss. For some people, it’s just about remembering all the wonderful things they had when they had that person and sharing that with other people. It’s about not being isolated. That’s a big key.”

Continued from A5 value of saving money.

While this helps tame inflation, it also can reduce the pace of economic growth. In the current environment, as the world continues to recover from the shutdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a slowing of economic growth could not only hurt that recovery, but it could also slow the pace of job creation, as companies save their money and delay expanding or hiring new workers.

Some prices rose during the blockage, including for oil.

Other costs also rose, which is something the Federal Reserve “worries about,” BenitezSilva said. “Inflation sometimes happens because of a future movement in costs. Even if they haven’t materialized [because the higher cost of a longer trip around Africa isn’t necessary], they are real.”

Benitez-Silva, who is also an associate professor, said the Federal Reserve is likely watching to see whether this event leads to a short-term or longer-term consequence for inflation.

As for the effect of the blockage on the ports that unload the cargo and the trucking companies that transport the merchandise to local markets, the ability to handle the backlog of ships that had been waiting to

cross the canal depends on spare capacity.

Companies that have extra technology and labor on hand or even available on standby can handle the short-term increase in demand for services like unloading and distributing products.

Spare capacity, however, often adds to cost, which creates inefficiencies.

“If we are in certain sectors that don’t have spare capacity, this can last longer,” Benitez-Silva said.

Amid the pandemic, companies may have reduced their workforces without cutting back on technology. In that case, the economy may be able to absorb a small disruption well.

“That’s the kind of thing a central bank will be paying attention to, asking ports like New York or Rotterdam if they can handle an increase in vessels” now that the ship is clear and others will resume their journeys, Benitez-Silva said.

On a personal level, he said the things that crossed his mind for his own household included oil and gas and consumer products.

He hasn’t been driving as much as he was prior to the pandemic, so he thought an increase in gas prices wouldn’t likely have much of an effect.

As for consumer products, he said his wife asked about paper towels and that he had plenty to spare because he “went overboard” during the pandemic and is “more prepared.”

Sock business owner shares new item with local congressmen John Cronin, co-founder of John’s Crazy Socks, joined with U.S. Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY2) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY3) at the company’s Melville headquarters March 30 for a tour and special announcement event.

Following a tour of the facility that employees over 20 people with differing abilities, founders John, who has Down syndrome, and Mark Cronin hosted a special unveiling of their Congressional Unity Socks and announced plans to give them to all members of the U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate.

Flanked by Garbarino and Suozzi, John Cronin unveiled the company’s Congressional Unity Socks. Designed by John with American flags spread across a field of blue, they were created to symbolize the unity and inclusion that binds all Americans.

Following the unveiling John Cronin said, “Let’s do something to bring people together and make them happy.”

Mark Cronin echoed his son’s sentiments.

“We may come from different backgrounds and have different political views, but we share a common belief in the promise of the United States of America,” Mark Cronin said. “It is our intention to share our unity message and these special socks with each member of Congress.

This is a non-partisan effort and we thank both Congressman Andrew Garbarino, a Republican, and Congressman Tom Suozzi, a Democrat, for encouraging our efforts to unite all Americans and spread happiness, which is part of our core mission at John’s Crazy Socks,” “John is a remarkable individual who along with his father, Mark, know that with hard work, anything can be accomplished,” Garbarino said.

“These socks represent what we need in this nation today — unity. Together with the Cronin’s and my good friend and colleague, Representative Suozzi, we embrace this effort and welcome the opportunity to participate in the sharing of the important message of bipartisanship.”

“Having constituents like John and Mark who are focused on inclusion and bringing people together is truly inspiring,” Suozzi said.

“Sharing socks with members of Congress may be a small gesture, but it carries a very important message. Unity is critical now and for the future of our nation.”

Garbarino and Suozzi are longtime supporters and fans of John Cronin and his efforts to promote inclusion and the spreading of happiness.

Garbarino, the first term member of Congress, championed the idea of creating the socks and working with John and his father Mark to give

them to all members. John’s Crazy Socks is working with Suozzi to enhance the ability of people with disabilities to retain more of their earnings. Both Garbarino and Suozzi are members of the Congressional Problem Solvers Caucus.

The planning for the Unity Sock delivery and distribution is taking place now. A date for when

deliveries will take place will be announced in the coming weeks. Some of the proceeds from sales of Unity Socks will go to support the Special Olympics and other not-for-profits.

Unity Socks can be purchased at johnscrazysocks.com/products/unity-flagunisex-crew-sock.

Relentless Northport football bullies Smithtown East, 50-13

BY STEVEN ZAITZ DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Demolish, rinse, repeat.

The Northport Tigers football team made Smithtown East its latest victim this past Saturday, as they cruised to a 50-13 road victory in St. James and ran their record to 3-0. The Bulls drop to 2-2.

Senior running back Andrew Argyris rumbled for 139 yards and three touchdowns, leading a rushing attack that gained 376 yards. Junior Jack Sandrib had 89 yards, and senior Rafe Carner had 71 and two scores. This trio averaged over nine and a half yards every time they touched the ball against Smithtown East. The Tigers have averaged 301 rushing yards in their three victories this season.

“Our philosophy is to run it down their throats until they prove they can stop us,” Argyris said. “Our offensive line is nasty, and they open up big holes for us.”

Smithtown East found itself in a nasty situation right from the opening whistle. They won the coin toss but elected to kickoff to the Tigers. Ten plays later, it was 7-0 Northport on Carner’s 3-yard touchdown run. The Bulls fumbled the ensuing kick and Argyris scored on the very next play to make it 14-0 — and Smithtown East’s offense had yet to touch the ball. “It was like an avalanche,” said Northport Head Coach Pat Campbell. “We didn’t give them a chance to breathe because we did a good job of turning their mistakes into early points.”

Northport converted three East turnovers in the first half into 17 points and had a 44-0 lead at halftime. One of those turnovers was an interception by senior cornerback Tom Tini.

“They had a stack on my side of the field, and I read what he [Bulls Quarterback Nick Karika] was trying to do and he threw it right to me,” Tini said. “I’ll take that any day!”

Despite his perfect diagnosis of the play, Tini was kicking himself for not turning the interception into a pick six. “My coaches were busting my [butt] because if I made one cutback, I would have been gone, “Tini said. “It cost me

a steak dinner.”

Regardless of Tini having to pay for his meal, the Tiger defense was its usual mauling self. They were responsible for only one of the Bulls’ touchdowns — the other was a 86yard fumble recovery by East’s Santino Pollina — and have given up only two scores in three games this year, both of which came in garbage time. The Bulls eked out 162 total yards, which is the high-water mark this year for a Northport opponent. The Tigers have allowed only 129 per game on average – a remarkably low number.

“Our TNT [defensive line and fittingly also an abbreviation for dynamite] is just dominant,” said Campbell. “They do a lot more than take blockers. It’s three against five up there and most times, our three are winning that battle against the opponents’ five.”

One of those three is Cole Ronan, who registered a sack and two tackles behind the line of scrimmage versus Smithtown East. His nickname is Big Nasty.

“Our main goal is to eat up the blocks and let our linebackers come down hill and make the tackles,” said the 6’3” senior. “We work really hard all week in practice to get ready and it shows up in the games.”

His linemate, senior Dan Lugo, loves to have ‘meetings’ with fellow linemen Ronan and senior Ryan Farrington.

“We are always talking about meeting in the backfield, meeting at the quarterback, meeting at the line to stop the running back”, laughed Lugo, who is known around the locker room as Big Daddy. “We have great chemistry.”

So far that chemistry has resulted in the Tigers outscoring their opponents 99-19, with Copiague next on the schedule.

The Eagles have laid quite the egg this year, having dropped all three of their games, outscored 155-8 in the process.

Huntington honors architect and suffragist Fay Kellogg Town of Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) and town officials were joined by members of the Greenlawn-Centerport Historical Association for the unveiling of a historical marker on April 6 honoring former resident Faye Kellogg, according to a press release from the town. Kellogg was a noted architect of the early 20th century. The marker was placed at the site of a residence and former post office she designed at 22 Boulevard Avenue in Greenlawn.

“Fay Kellogg designed and built steel construction projects while simultaneously breaking glass ceilings,” Lupinacci said. “We are proud to pay homage to Fay Kellogg, a pioneer in the field of architecture from over a century ago, at the site of the residence and former post office she was commissioned to design in 1911.”

According to the town’s press release, Kellogg lived from 1871 to 1918 and was a summer resident of Greenlawn after she purchased land in the area totaling 15 acres in 1907 and 1909. In addition to being an architect, she was an advocate of women’s rights, including the right to vote.

Kellogg was born in Pennsylvania and studied in Washington, D.C. and at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She continued her studies in Paris. Through her efforts the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Arts was opened to women, but only after she had completed her studies elsewhere.

She joined the practice of New York architect John R. Thomas, where she helped design the Hall of Records on Chambers Street in Manhattan. After Thomas’s death, she set

up her own architectural practice in 1903. She designed numerous buildings in New York and also a skyscraper in San Francisco as well as “hostess houses” on military bases in South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee during World War I. She was the lead architect for all building projects nationwide for the American News Company. She usually supervised the construction of her designs.

In 1911, Kellogg was commissioned to design a new home and post office for Greenlawn’s postmaster Elizabeth A. Hilton near the entrance to the new train station on Boulevard across from the firehouse. The bungalow provided living quarters for Hilton as well as space for the post office. Following Hilton’s death in 1919, the building was sold to her sister Sarah Hilton. The building continued to be used as the post office until as late as 1929. The building is now a residence.

Councilman Ed Smyth (R) called Kellogg an inspiration to professional women at the unveiling.

“She fought gender discrimination by setting goals staying focused on them,” Smyth said. “She considered herself an equal to her male colleagues and accepted no concessions from them due to her gender. She allowed her work product to speak for itself.”

Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) called the architect “a champion for women’s suffrage and for women’s equality at the workplace.”

“I am proud to recognize Fay Kellogg as one of Huntington’s finest residents and hope we carry on her legacy,” Cuthbertson said.

Councilman Eugene Cook (R) said the Greenlawn-Centerport Historical Association

secured a grant funded by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation.

“As a Greenlawn resident, I am proud to know she summered in our community,” Cook said.

Councilwoman Joan Cergol (D) said she was honored to celebrate Kellogg, “whose contributions as an architect are surpassed only by her contributions as a pioneer for all working women in America.”

“This marker, representing the old Greenlawn Post Office as designed by Ms. Kellogg, is testament to the power of the human spirit when we refuse to let others tell us what we can or cannot do,” Cergol said.

Town Clerk Andrew Raia said the ceremony marked the historic impact Kellogg had on the town.

“Preserving the town’s history and heritage is vital, and thanks to the hard work of the Greenlawn-Centerport Historical Association in securing this historical marker, the contributions of Fay Kellogg will be forever remembered,” Raia said.

Deanne Rathke, director of the GreenlawnCenterport Historical Association, said Kellogg was a trailblazer.

“One of her greatest loves was the summer home that she designed and built here in Greenlawn where she took great pride in putting on a pair of Khaki pants and farming the 15 acres herself,” Rathke said. “As an

advocate for women’s rights her words can still serve as an inspiration to women today as she once said ‘I don’t approve of a wellequipped woman creeping along; let her leap ahead as men do. All she needs is courage.’”

Kellogg died at the age of 47 in her Brooklyn home in July 1918, after falling ill in the spring of 1918, when the Spanish Flu was first identified in U.S. military camps.

While her obituary states that she “had a breakdown” working on the construction of hostess houses at Camp Gordon in Atlanta, it has been speculated that Kellogg was a victim of the deadly flu of 1918.

Mary “Maria” Cecilia King

Mary “Maria” Cecilia King was born May 22, 1936, in Swinford, County Mayo, Ireland, to Michael and Mary Ellen Dwyer.

Maria led a very spiritual and faithful life.

She was an avid swimmer and a champion tennis star in her youth. At an early age, she found her calling to help people in need.

Maria fulfilled this passion in her profession as a Registered Nurse. In 1965, she took six months off work and donated her time to the Bolte Abbey and the monks from Mount St. Joseph Abbey, Roxcrea. Maria then went on to spend the next year working in the Bahamas before arriving in the United States in 1967.

In November of 1969, while working at Roosevelt Hospital in midtown Manhattan, she was invited to an Irish American dance that changed her life. That night she met John J. King and they married four months later. They remained married for 51 years.

Their marriage exemplified unconditional love and profound faith.

Maria was an extraordinary mother to her three sons, and always embraced family and friends with her kind heart and welcoming arms. Maria worked hard to ensure her sons had a good education, a faith-driven background and unconditional love. Her faith in humanity and God was inspirational. Maria’s patience, perseverance and personality inspired others to never give up and to never lose hope.

As a nurse and caretaker, Maria earned a highly regarded reputation in health care.

From 1978 until her retirement in 2000, she worked for dignitaries, celebrities, successful businesspeople and the common man.

Maria’s dedication to staying positive and helping others served her well as she progressed through her years. At the age of 64, Maria was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, but she never let the disease define her. She relentlessly delayed the progression of her disease by establishing routines and activities such as her own pool exercise program. Maria would constantly stay

Mary “Maria” Cecilia King

positive and never lose faith as her disease progressed. She said, “This is just part of my journey and what the Lord has laid out for me.

That journey never took away her positive attitude, uplifting spirit and profound faith.

Maria is survived by her three sons Michael, John and Andrew (Patricia); her brother Michael, and sister Anne. She is predeceased by her husband John, and brothers William and Richard Dwyer.

In lieu of flowers, and to continue Maria’s passion of charity, the family asks that you donate to The Michael J. Fox Foundation (michaeljfox.org), St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (stjude.org) or your local place of worship in her honor.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Nolan Funeral Home. A funeral Mass was held March 31 at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church, Centerport, NY. Burial followed at St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Huntington.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

A few good apples File photo from United States Coast Guard

Give a hoot

Driving through our newspaper coverage areas, we’re surprised at the amount of roadside litter.

Fortunately, the warmer weather means various community groups coming out and cleaning up a plot of land or section of roadway. However, to quote an old Woodsy Owl ad from the 1970s, “Give a hoot! Don’t pollute.”

It’s not the responsibility of civic associations, businesses and chambers of commerce to clean up other people’s messes, even though their efforts are applauded. People need to be aware that littering is not cool and then be more mindful of how they dispose of trash.

Throwing garbage out car windows or tossing it wherever while walking is not being a responsible resident. Not properly covering cans where wind can pick up garbage in the container and send it rolling down the street also is not helping matters either.

Unfortunately, we live in a time when people think it’s OK to dump trash on the side of the road or in a park, too.

The current coronavirus pandemic has made the littering problem even worse. In an attempt to keep themselves and others healthy, people have been wearing masks and gloves. But for some reason, many of those people feel they need to discard the protective gear immediately. One of the memories that many of us will carry with us long after the pandemic is gone is how often we saw gloves and masks laying in shopping center parking lots.

Litter is not only unsightly, but it can also wind up in our local wooded areas and waterways where it can negatively impact wildlife. The debris can inhibit plants from thriving, too.

There will always be people who will mindlessly throw out garbage without a care in the world about where it winds up, as long as it’s not in their car or home. But when papers, cups, fast food bags and other items are just left in the grass or bushes, it almost provides an invitation for others to follow suit and carelessly throw unwanted items wherever they please.

Everyone is responsible to pick up after themselves. For our municipalities to clean up after residents means increased tax dollars.

Of course, that doesn’t mean we all can’t encourage our elected officials to rethink how often the departments of transportation clear the roadways and open areas of litter, if they do at all. Looking at our local roads, it’s clear that they need to be cleaned more often until all residents are playing their part in keeping their communities clean.

With Earth Day just a couple of weeks away, isn’t it time for North Shore residents to send a better message to those who visit here or think about living here? Let’s show we care about the place where we live and respect it, plus the environment. That can start today simply by ensuring garbage is properly disposed of even during times where it may feel inconvenient to do so.

Yes. You read that right.

It’s no less verifiable than “a few bad apples.”

Both are gross assumptions, based either on blind trust or equally blind suspicion.

The slogan “Defund the police” was thoughtlessly conceived and poorly constructed. So absurd as to arouse suspicion of the author’s actual intent.

It appears to have produced more police defenders than defunders.

The very prospect is absurd.

We need the police, and the police need funds.

Without an organization of welltrained, abundantly equipped and disciplined officers, our communities would surely turn into anarchy … a lawless, Mad Max chaos.

A police force is vital, and it’s no accident that we call it a ‘force.’

Sometimes force is required. Even force resulting in death.

We properly invest extraordinary power and authority in each officer to enforce our laws and civility.

These indispensable men, and now

women, are necessary in order to maintain safe conditions in our society.

We must give the police our support, trust and, yes, funding.

And, the public should make allowances for, and acknowledge that mistakes and misjudgments happen.

Law enforcers are humans with the frailties we all share.

An officer can confront a situation where rapid decisions and responses must be made without the luxury of deliberative time.

Police officers deserve both the benefit of the doubt and extra protection.

Assaulting or harming an officer each warrants an especially harsh consequence.

In return, we expect that the power and authority empowered in each officer be used in a fair, reasonable and judicious way.

Yes, defunding is foolish talk.

However, reforming, restructuring or renovating is not.

When an officer blatantly and deliberately abuses that sacred trust — the very authority vested in the police — by

breaking the law, especially, but not limited to, in a life-threatening way, a most serious crime has occurred.

Furthermore, when a police officer commits a felony that is covered up by another police officer, which may too often be the case, dual felonies have been committed.

It’s not camaraderie.

It’s not professional courtesy.

It’s complicity to a crime and should be punished accordingly.

We fund police to prevent crime, not to cover up illegal behavior behind a blue wall of silence.

As the face of the public, a police officer deserves extraordinary considerations and protections.

Conversely, officers who commit, aid or abet a crime, deserve harsh punishment for using or abusing the authority entrusted in them. Not merely suspension.

Not just forced retirement or termination.

Jail sentences.

Bruce Stasiuk Setauket

Outdated thinking ignores what we know about cannabis Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D] signed the Marijuana Regulation & Taxation Act into law March 31. The MRTA not only legalizes recreational marijuana, it restructures criminal penalties and regulates the drug as a controlled substance. It is long overdue legislation, and New York has now become the 15th state to legalize cannabis.

Much of the revenue generated will go back into communities who have been disproportionately impacted by the drug wars. This is part of the Community Grants Reinvestments Fund mandated in the bill. The fund will go to community organizations that provide job training and placement, reentry services after incarceration and adult education services. Money is set aside for studying long-term impacts of cannabis use, as well as funding for the state Education Department.

The MRTA begins to address the

racist systems that disproportionately impact Black and brown communities.

For Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes [D], who championed this legislation, that was the main point. Peoples-Stokes said in a recent interview on NPR, “I can assure you that it’s not important to me that people smoke it because I don’t think they should. But the fact of the matter is that they do. And they do it to the tune of multiple billion dollars a year in the state of New York. And at the same time, you know, the system has been incarcerating way too many people generationally and negatively impacting their lives. And so, for me, I saw it as an opportunity not just to legalize a product, to get access to revenue but legalize the product, get access to revenue and use it to reinvest in the lives of the people that had been destroyed due to mass incarceration.

Specifically, people of color. I mean, majority people in this country who smoke marijuana tend not to be people of color. But in terms of the who was criminalized, it generally was Black and brown people.”

There is talk of municipalities on Long Island “opting out” of this and attempting to prevent the selling of marijuana. This is outdated thinking that ignores what we know about cannabis. Alcohol and cigarettes are sold everywhere and are far more addictive than marijuana. Opting out would mean a loss of potential revenue on Long Island, which is ill advised as we struggle with deficit. I ask our local legislators to make decisions based on facts rather than feelings and anecdotal evidence. Long Islanders deserve to have the economic and racial justice benefits of the MRTA.

Opinion The conversation is over now, no now, no, wait, now

G

oodbye. It’s simple and direct. You’d think it’d be easy, like changing the channel with a remote control, closing a door or pushing the keyless start button on a car.

And yet, the art of hanging up the phone, which, technically isn’t hanging up the way we used to place a phone on the wall so much as it is pushing a red button, isn’t as simple and synchronous as it ought to be.

Sometimes it feels as if two people are preparing to turn the simultaneous keys D. None necessary to start some of the above top secret process,

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF with one of them ready to turn the key while the other slowly fishes through a messy drawer, chatting away about how pushing a button to start a car takes

us even further away from the days of using a hand crank to start a car or pushing the propeller around to start a plane engine.

When people want to disconnect, they have used variations of “see ya,” “I gotta go,” or, one of my favorites from my days covering Wall Street, “I gotta hop.”

As an aside here, Wall Street loved the “gotta hop” phrase almost as much as my math professors loved QED, Latin for “thus it is said,” at the end of a proof.

Anyway, I was never especially good at disengaging. It’s as if my brain decided, “You got what you needed, now, stumble through a labyrinth of unrelated ideas.”

I’ll give you an example.

“Okay, well, thanks for taking the time to speak with me,” I said.

“You’re welcome. Have a good afternoon,” he responded.

“Right, afternoon. That’s that time after noon. Makes sense, right?” Wait, why are you still talking? That’s not even vaguely insightful.

“I suppose that’s correct,” he replied, not wanting to be rude.

“Well, anyway, it was good talking with you.

I wasn’t disappointed.” I wasn’t disappointed.

First, that’s a double negative, and second, who cares whether you’re disappointed? Does that suggest you had high expectations, low expectations or no expectations? More to the point, what’s your point?

“Glad to hear it,” he sighed.

“Well, anyway, I should let you get back to work. I have a lot of work this afternoon, too. I’ve got to write a column about people who can’t get off the phone quickly when the conversation has ended.”

“Sounds like an opportunity for personal growth,” he replied.

“Oh, I get it. That’s clever and quick. Okay, so, I hope to talk with you again some time.”

“We’ll see.”

“No, wait. I’m sorry. It won’t always be like this.” Oh, no. I’ve polluted the water for future conversations. Say something clever. Hello? Say

something! Maybe the line has gone dead. That might help. “Are you still there?”

“Yes,” he said. “But, you know, I should get going.”

“Yeah, me, too. Have a good ...”

“Afternoon? Yes, thanks. See ya!”

I have been on the other end of social interactions that won’t, or don’t, seem to end.

One of the challenges of mask wearing is that the usual nonverbal signals, like pursing my lips, twitching, or exhaling slowly, aren’t visible to the person talking with increasing urgency at me.

People sometimes seem to hit the “play” button on their monologue, sharing the quirks they find so charming about their children, as if their children are the first ones in the history of the planet ever to own a dog or to eat a grilled cheese.

Nodding and trying to feign interest, I wonder how I can disconnect without being rude.

Then, it dawns on me to borrow from my Wall Street friends.

“Hey, that’s really interesting. You know what? I gotta hop.”

Also, little did we know how many changes we would witness and endure in an industry that had not been much altered since Ben Franklin and his partner bought the Pennsylvania Gazette in Philadelphia almost 300 years ago. Under their management, it became the most successful newspaper in the colonies. They printed words on paper by setting hot type then, and printers were doing the same right up to the decade just before we began. At that point, a huge change was taking place. The industry was switching over to what was called, “cold type,” meaning words printed by a typesetter, a kind of massive electric typewriter.

In the world, the Vietnam War had finally ended, the oil crisis that had cars lined up at gas pumps for miles and high interest rates were all giving way to Ronald Reagan, the return of the Iran hostages, and the United States of America became “the shining city on the hill.”

After three years in publishing, we won the top prize in the New York Press Association Better Newspaper Contest. Women poured into the workplace, many providing second incomes, successful equal-pay-for-equal-work court challenges were won and it was the beginning

of desktop computers. We got our first, an Apple, to manage subscriptions in 1982.

By the end of the decade, the Berlin Wall came down, the Cold War was declared ended, we had started a second paper to the east and a third paper to the west just before the Crash of ’87, and we rented more space in our office building.

As we slid into the 90s, the Gulf War seemed easily won, cable TV broke through, President Bush (41) was not reelected and we were into the Clinton years. By then the prices for computers had come way down and we owned more than a dozen, then two dozen. Our staff, too, had expanded as the national and the local economies recovered and bloomed. We bought out the Port Jeff Record and preserved its name and legacy by calling our combined Port Jefferson papers the Port Times Record.

Then it was the end of the century, indeed the end of a millennium, and we were into the Bush-led (43) administration, thanks to the Supreme Court. Before we had a chance to recover our equilibrium from Y2K, we tragically suffered 9/11/2001. They closed the banks that day, a brilliantly sunny Tuesday,

and I was locked in for hours because I had been there early to pick up our loan for the purchase of the Three Village Herald.

By this time, radio, television and cable had all been elbowed aside in the communications and news world to admit the internet, and our website was born to augment our, by then, six newspapers from Huntington to Shoreham/ Wading River. America elected and then reelected its first Black president, who gave us Obamacare. For our part, we started making inroads on Facebook and Instagram and YouTube on behalf of our readers and advertisers.

Then we had a new president, who had never run for office before, and the cover blew off the ball of news coverage as passions became heated and epithets flew. In his last year, the pandemic arrived, sowing chaos on the world. We also made a full length movie, a historic narrative called “One Life to Give,” and it won acclaim. Now atmospherics are calmer with a seasoned politician as our current president, and we are all together watching to see where our lives and our news media will next go.

ho would have thought that we would be marking our 45th anniversary in the middle of a pandemic? Given all that has transpired in the world over these intervening years, we shouldn’t be so surprised at this unparalleled event.

On April 8, 1976, we published our first issue, and it was a good size.

We had attracted a bit of attention. We were a handful of women starting a second newspaper in town.

Here we are then, your weekly snowball, bigger now with six hometown newspapers, a website of about 150,000 visitors, social media platforms, and a lot less innocence.
