CO N N E C T E D Greenlawn man arrested after allegedly stabbing another man in the head

FOR A LIFETIME

Suffolk County Police arrested a man April 24 after he allegedly stabbed another man in the head in the parking lot of a Greenlawn convenience store.

A man was sitting in the driver’s seat of his vehicle in the parking lot of 7-Eleven, located at 247 Broadway, when he was allegedly approached by three men at approximately 9 p.m. One of the men, Raheem Miller, allegedly stabbed the victim in the head. Miller and the other two men fled before police officers arrived at the scene.

The victim, a 44-year-old Huntington Station man, was transported to South Shore University

County

Bellone signs new legislation for bike riders

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A new law will now keep bicyclists safe on the roadways with its 3-foot rule.

On Tuesday, April 27, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) joined Deputy Presiding Officer Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) and members of the biking community at Stony Brook’s Stony Brookside Bed & Bike Inn to sign it in officially.

Bellone said the legislation will help ensure the safety of bicyclists while out on the roadways requiring drivers to pass on the left and provide the riders with at least 3 feet of space. Violations of this law are punishable by a fine of $225 for the first offense, $325 for the second offense and

$425 for any subsequent offenses.

It is the first of its kind in New York state.

“For us in Suffolk County, where we love the outdoors, many of the reasons why people choose to live here is because of our incredible natural resources: our parks, our open space and the beauty that we have here,” he said. “Bicycles are such a big part of that. We are committed to, and we have to be committed to, making sure that cycling can be done safely, and people are protected as much as possible.”

He added that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, bike sales have “skyrocketed.”

People want to be outside more.

“We’ve obviously been working on these issues for some time,” he said. “But the pandemic has only made it even clearer how important this is to people’s lives — and quite frankly, to all of us, even if you never get on a bike.”

Hahn added that Stony Brookside Bed & Bike Inn attracts bicyclists from around the world who come and enjoy the area’s paths, roads and trails.

“Our roads are going to be safer now,” she said. “But there is tremendous synergy between our environment and our economy, between what we have here to enjoy where we live.

And who we attract to come here as visitors, who we attract to come here as businesses, and people — especially after the pandemic — are looking for places to live, places to visit where they can recreation safely.”

Bellone noted, though, that Long Island

roads can often be dangerous, and he is committed to keeping the streets safe.

“We know that bicycling on certain roads in the county can be dangerous, but we’ve been working on that issue,” he said. “We’ve taken a number of significant steps to educate drivers and improve infrastructure to create a safer environment for bicycles on the road.

So, today, our efforts go one step further.”

Attorney and board member of the New York Bicycling Coalition Daniel Flanzig said that currently only 33 states have this law.

“[NY] Vehicle & Traffic Law 1122-A currently exists, but only requires a motorist to pass a cyclist at a safe distance,” he said.

“What a safe distance is to me is different to you.”

Flanzig said that the new law of a 3-foot distance is a tangible, recognizable number.

“I think 3-foot distance actually makes it easier to enforce,” Hahn said. “Now there’s a set difference. Previously, the law said drivers must pass cyclists at a safe distance and that wasn’t defined.”

County

Formation of Suffolk pollinator task force passed by legislature

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A new task force will create a web of pollinating fields across the county for species such as birds, bees, butterflies and more.

On April 20, the Suffolk County Legislature unanimously passed legislation sponsored by Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) to form an advisory task force composed of local agencies such as Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County and the National Audubon Society as well as horticulturists, environmentalists and garden clubs. The goal is to develop a plan to plant productive, indigenous plants on county lands to support local pollinators.

According to Hahn, who is chair of the county’s Environment, Parks & Agriculture Committee, pollinating species have been in steady decline, sometimes because they don’t have food to feed on. The loss of them can threaten food supplies and ecosystems, both locally and globally. Bees, butterflies, bats and more play a part in flowering plants’ fertilization process.

Hahn said in a phone interview that she watched a webinar about pollinators and

Health

started thinking about county lands, which she estimates at approximately 50,000 acres surrounding county buildings, in parks and along highways, and how they could be used to help. She said while in the past preservation of land was considered for large parcels, which is important for water quality, not much attention was paid to smaller plots of land.

“This webinar I saw talked about pollinators, from a perspective of the pollinators, from the perspective of the natural environment, the habitat for animals, the habitat for insects that pollinate our plants and our flowers and our farms,” she said. “Pollinators, especially insects, can’t fly very far.”

The county legislator said the pollinators need a place to take a break.

“They need to have places where they can stop, rest, eat and whatever else they might do along the way,” Hahn said. “They need to have a pathway of places that have the kind of native plants that they need to survive.

They need to be close together so that they can fly from one to the other.”

She said anything can help from small pieces of land to backyards and other spots.

She said she hopes the task force will also inspire residents to start their own pollinating gardens and is planning to start one along her driveway.

John Turner, conservation policy advocate for the Seatuck Environmental Association, said in a statement that it’s important to respond to the issue and thanked the county Legislature for doing so.

“A quiet crisis is occurring throughout the world as the number and diversity of insects that provide vital pollinating services decline,” Turner said. “This legislation is one way Suffolk County is appropriately responding to the crisis by developing a blueprint for making the county suitable for butterflies, bees and other critically important but often overlooked species.”

The bill is expected to be signed by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) in the coming weeks. The task force’s recommendations will then be referred back to county officials within one year of its creation. Some of the recommendations will include information such as economic and environmental impacts. After the recommendations are presented, legislators will decide if the plan should be implemented.

SBU’s Saldivar encourages informed vaccine decisions

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Stony Brook Medicine, Dr. Miguel Saldivar, wants residents to make vaccine decisions based on scientific information, rather than Internet speculation. Saldivar, who joined Stony Brook just months before the pandemic hit Long Island, sees improvement in the overall infection numbers, which have declined in recent weeks to about two to three percent from closer to five to six percent. In a wideranging interview (which can be seen online at tbrnewsmedia.com), Saldivar answered a host of questions.

TBR: Do you have any concerns about the number or percentage of people who are not lining up for vaccination?

Saldivar: In general, what we are more concerned about is the amount of misinformation that is out there. If you go on social media — if you go just on the internet, period — there’s a lot of people who are spreading lot of information that is really frankly inaccurate.

TBR: What are Stony Brook and others trying to do to counter misinformation?

Saldivar: There are a number of things we hear fairly frequently, probably the more common one I personally have heard, because Pfizer and Moderna are based on mRNA technology, everybody hears the term RNA and is worried that it’s going to change my genetic code and turn me into a mutant or cause a disease down the line. The first thing to understand about that, the way both of those vaccines work, it’s a set of instructions being given to the body cells, the moment it’s been delivered, the mRNA dissolves. It has no way of getting into the deeper part of the cells to change your genetic code.

TBR: Black and brown communities have a distrust of the federal government after some well known problems regarding Tuskegee Experiment and other issues. Is there broader acceptance now compared with a month or two ago?

Saldivar: Statistically, if you compare how this disease has affected minority communities, the risk of a severe outcome, hospitalization intubation and death is almost universally

Dr. Miguel Saldivar of Stony Brook Medicine said it’s concerning how much misinformation is out there about the COVID-19 vaccine. Stock photo

higher among minority communities. That has a number of factors, not just the disease itself.

It’s also the fact that within those communities, it is more frequent to find some of the risk factors, meaning diabetes, obesity, preexisting pulmonary disease so on and so forth ... What I have been personally involved with is reaching

out to the community, we have found a lot of community centers have been very ready and willing to engage in a conversation. We have found places of worship to be wonderful places to have that conversation TBR: What does the data tell you about the pandemic?

Salvidar: The last numbers I heard from the meeting this morning were between two to three percent positivity. We’ve been there for a week. Before that, we were staying pretty stable at like five to six percent or thereabouts.

It looks like finally, this may be the effect of the vaccine, the numbers are finally starting to little by little trend their way down. We’ve been cautiously optimistic. There seems to be a little bit of a light at the end of the tunnel.

TBR: You have a bachelor’s degree in classical guitar performance. How did you wind up in infectious disease?

Saldivar: Through the nonprofit circle, I landed a job with the medical center at UCLA. That’s where I met a very, very good friend and mentor. She was key to helping me shape the path. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of this profession.

Tigers crush Hills East to capture League Title

BY STEVEN ZAITZ DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM To the very end, they protected the ‘N.’ In an emotional roller coaster of a football season, that had them battling COVID just as hard as their opponents, the Northport Tigers wrapped up their schedule April 24 with a rousing victory over the Half Hollow Hills East Thunderbirds.

With the 34-13 win, the Tigers earned Suffolk County’s League III title and capped off the year on a well-deserved high note.

Northport finished with a 5-1 record and rolled up a 188-59-point differential. The one blemish, a heartbreaker of a loss at West Islip, two weeks ago in the Conference II semi-final, prevented them from earning a piece of the county crown, but all in all, the Tigers spring campaign was an inspirational success that has put them back on the map as a Long Island powerhouse.

Newsday listed them as the 9th best team on Long Island in their final rankings in 2021 — especially impressive considering they lost six games out of eight in 2019.

“Northport has a winning tradition, and it was cool being a part of a team that brought back that tradition,” said senior captain and star middle linebacker Anthony Canales, who played his final game as a Tiger on Saturday. “I’m also proud to have been able to show the younger guys what it’s like to be a Northport Tiger and the way of ‘Class and Character’, just like I was taught when I was in their shoes.”

Canales, in addition to earning first team All Suffolk County and All Division awards (see full list of Tigers on page A15), is a finalist for the prestigious Bob Collotta award presented to the most outstanding linebacker in Suffolk. He is still in the running for the Rob Burnett Award for most outstanding defensive player in Suffolk County too.

“He deserves all the accolades he gets,” said Northport Head Football Coach Pat Campbell. “He’s had a fantastic season and he’s a great leader.”

Canales led a Tiger defense that had many star players and was an overwhelming and suffocating wall of blue all year. On this sundrenched afternoon, they were provided an extra bit of motivation when they saw that the Hills East team was disrespectfully dancing on the Northport ‘N’ logo in the middle of the field in pre-game warmups.

“That wasn’t cool,” said Canales. “That fired our whole team up and they (Hills East) paid the price. We always protect the ‘N.’” Senior defensive lineman Cole Ronan, who must have used that fuel, had a great game with seven tackles and a sack. He was instrumental in containing T-Bird star quarterback Leisaan Hibbert, who aside from a few spectacular juke moves, was held in check for much of the afternoon.

“All week in practice the guys were preaching that we were so thankful that we’re getting to play one more game with each other,” Ronan said. “We wanted to give it everything we had this week and go out with a win. I’m glad we did.”

“He should get the Player of the Game,” said Campbell of Ronan. “He gets off the line of scrimmage and he knows how to get great pad level. He’s a big kid but he gets low and gets to where he needs to be to make plays. Great job

by Cole.”

By losing to West Islip and Hills East’s loss to Bellport in the first round of the playoffs, the Tigers and T-Birds were able to compete for the League III championship. The two teams were scheduled to play in Week 2, but that game was erased due to a Section XI mandated quarantine. That was the start of a series of events that put the program on a never-ending obstacle course, as they lost between 12-15 players due the coronavirus and injury over the next five weeks.

“You can sit here and do the ‘what-ifs,’ said Campbell. “But there’s nothing we can do to change it. We still had a great year.”

What wasn’t so great was the way Saturday’s game started. T-Bird running back Louis Mathurian ran around right tackle and sliced through the Tiger Defense for 60 yards, defensive backs Rocco Stola and Tom Tini finally tracked him down deep in Tiger territory.

“I probably ran 100 yards chasing that guy, but I knew Rocco and I were going to catch him,” said the speedy cornerback Tini. “We weren’t going to let him score.”

Stola and Tini’s persistence paid off as Canales recovered a fumble three plays later and the Tigers soon stamped their imprint on this game.

Running back Rafe Carner ran the ball for 34 yards on the next two plays and quarterback Conner Gallagher finished off a 10-play drive with a 2-yard sneak, giving the Tigers a 6-0 lead. The offensive line, including tight end Wade Holden, opened up huge holes on this drive and throughout the entire season, bludgeoning hapless defenders to the tune of 7.8 yards a carry. Seniors Carner, Andrew Argyris, Stola and junior Jack Sandrib amassed over 1,300 yards rushing, due in no small part to the big guys up front.

Offensive linemen rarely get noticed unless they commit a penalty, but to not give citation to Ryan Wagner, Ronan, Ryan Farrington, Stylianos Poilitidis, Jack Pokowicz, Tom McDonagh, Andrew Canales, Joe Keller-DelPrete, Chris Bolitho, Gavin O’Malley and Luke Lamendola would be an injustice — especially on a team whose style is to cement-mix the opposing defense into submission and dominate the line of scrimmage.

Holden, who is the quintessential blocking tight end, was selected as an All-Division player despite not having gaudy receiving numbers.

“Our offensive line was great all year,” Canales said. “We lost Joe (Keller-DelPrete) to

injury twice. A few kids had COVID, but it was next man up.”

Farrington, who played center against Hills East in addition to his duties as a defensive lineman, was on the field essentially the whole day.

“We do everything we need to win,” Farrington said. “We prepared hard this week knowing it was our last game. We wanted this one.”

Stola, who fittingly ended his Tiger career with a fourth quarter touchdown catch from Gallagher, is the last in a bloodline of three brothers to play at Northport. They all represented the team and school with class and excellence throughout their football careers according to Campbell.

“That kid is a superior athlete and an incredible competitor,” Campbell said. “I’ve had a Stola on my team for eight years and I can’t remember what it’s like to not have a Stola on my team. All three of them have been gems to our program and it goes beyond the football field. Rocco is a great, great kid and I’m going to miss having him.”

“Northport football has been our family for the past eight years,” said Stola, who will be attending Middlebury College in the fall. “My brother Frank started the legacy, then Ben, and I was honored to finish it.”

Stola, and the entire Northport team, certainly finished the 2021 football season in style. After the final gun, they had a prolonged and tearful celebration amongst themselves and family members as they climbed up into the bleachers.

“Playing my last game as a Tiger, I had mixed emotions,” Stola said. “Getting that touchdown and the win was great, but then with all the hugs and realizing it’s my last time in the uniform it was sad, but a good kind of sad.”

Councilmembers announce 2021 Hunting-Tony nominees

Huntington councilmembers Mark Cuthbertson (D) and Joan Cergol (D) announced the nominees for the 11th annual Hunting-Tony Awards, an award ceremony celebrating the Town of Huntington’s talented high school thespians. Ordinarily held at the John W. Engeman Theater in Northport, this year’s Hunting-Tonys will be the second in a row hosted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a press release.

Since many school plays and musicals were postponed or canceled, students submitted videos of themselves performing monologues, songs, and dances to be evaluated by a panel of volunteer judges.

“The pandemic could not stop the arts in Huntington,” Cuthbertson said. “When we asked students to perform on video, they stepped up and did a great job. Thank you to all our judges; they had the tough job of selecting our nominees. I’m looking forward to the 11th annual Hunting-Tony Awards in May.” “We had to get a little creative this year to get over some of the hurdles brought on by the pandemic,” Cergol added, “But these performers took it in stride and gave us amazing video submissions to work with. It’s a real testament to how incredibly talented this year’s slate of nominees is.”

The nominees for the 11th annual HuntingTony Awards are:

MISSING ARTWORK When my husband and I moved out of Port Jefferson to Manhattan in 2014, we lost a batch of my husband’s artwork, including two small boxes of sketches and black and white ink wash, charcoal figure drawings, carbon rod figure drawings, watercolor, pastel, and gouache. Most of these are portraits, but there are some landscapes as well. Altogether, there are between 30-40 sketches and 50-60 other larger works of various sizes kept in large cardboard sheets.

Editorial

Staying the distance, but keeping your eyes open This week, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) officially signed a new law stating that drivers must give bicyclists a 3-foot distance on the road.

We think it’s great, and know how important it is to share the road. No one wants to hurt someone who’s riding for leisure or exercise.

But what concerns us the most are the riders who might feel entitled, who don’t follow their own rules of the road.

Yes, vehicle drivers — especially on Long Island — can be awfully aggressive and distracted at times. But to play devil’s advocate, it isn’t just the car drivers. We have seen some aggressive bike riders, too.

There are times that sharing the road on a busy street like Route 25A or Nesconset Highway is near to impossible. The driver of the vehicle slows down traffic to abstain from the biker, who is weaving in and out of their bike lane.

Not all bike riders are bad, and again we think it’s great they are staying fit and not thrusting carbon dioxide fumes into the air. But, just as there are bad apples to everything, we are begging those riders to not take this new law in vain.

While car drivers are now more responsible for keeping a safe distance from a bicyclist, we are asking the rider to do the same.

Please don’t ride your bike in traffic, and please pay attention, yourself. Please don’t be a nuisance to the people trying to get to work during rush hour, and please, please, please stop at stop signs, too.

If we all abide by the rules of the road, all of us will be safe and laws like this won’t even have to be considered down the road.

Use common sense. Be kind. Stay safe.

Letters to the Editor

Zeldin has no clothes After weeks of Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D] bashing, Captain Obvious, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1], came out to run for governor of New York in 2022. I laughed, then realized “bigly” possibilities.

As a congressman, he’s been absent, holding no town halls for years, afraid of unscreened questions or going on the record in a public forum. More present in photo ops, on Fox and Twitter, he relishes unchallenged opportunities for propaganda.

He’s been congratulating himself for a number of GQP [Grand QAnon Party] endorsements. The Cayuga County Republican Party chairwoman, Roberta Massarini, said Zeldin “will bring his unmatched integrity, grit, drive and vision to Albany.” Ha! I will give him drive. He’s a political opportunist.

However, as an extremist teabagger and Trump sycophant, Zeldin’s a follower and enabler, not a leader. His refusal to acknowledge Capitol police victims or the former police officer Derek Chauvin verdict highlights Zeldin’s unwillingness to tackle fundamental social problems.

He has no integrity. Promoting former President Donald Trump’s [R] big election lie for months, signing onto seditious, false documents and ignoring the Capitol carnage he helped instigate, he unpatriotically stepped onto the House floor repeating lies and voting against the more-than-200-year tradition of certifying state electoral votes.

For the lies alone, he should be disbarred.

A proven hypocrite, he accuses others of bullying while ignoring accountability for himself and colleagues such as Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene [R-Ga.) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). He speaks out of both sides of his mouth, a Newsday observation. He touts himself a champion for veterans, while consistently voting against their health care, relief aid and employer, the Post Office. He allowed the New York Post to fraudulently portray him as a combat hero, his military record showing no combat duty. A 65% MIA on the House Veterans Committee, he promptly moved to the House Banking Committee, scoring corporate campaign contributions for his votes. He votes “no”

Keen on keeping our water clean Suffolk County has been suffering from the poor disposal methods of wastewater from treatment plants into Long Island’s waterways for too long.

The decision made by some of the county’s largest sewage treatment plants to discharge wastewater into nearby rivers, inlets and bays is costing local residents the quality of the water they receive. Not only are residents facing this issue, but coastal ecosystems are also declining in health due to the highly toxic chemicals introduced from the water from these sewage plants. This is impacting the many coastal industries Long Island’s residents rely on, particularly commercial

and recreational fishing.

Along with the health risks residents face, many marine ecosystems are at risk from this pollution. I believe that it is imperative that more direct action is taken for addressing this issue and to hold these treatment plants more accountable.

I have always had a special love and connection to the Long Island Sound and the rivers found in our community. In order to protect an integral part of our home, larger treatment plants must take action and consider utilizing the techniques Suffolk’s smaller treatment plants use for their wastewater. These plants discharge wastewater into the ground, which is a

on bipartisan gun bills that will make our communities and police safer.

The most devastating fallacy is vision.

This young, dangerous dinosaur is incapable of embracing a sustainable energy future, scientific advances in health care and a more equitable society. His Congressional votes tell the story: “No” on environmental protections, women’s rights, fair pay, workers/unions, collective bargaining, transitioning to green energy, COVID-19 relief, SALT deductions, refugee/immigrant reforms, expanding voting rights/ethics and gender equity. Catering to white supremacists, he’s willfully blind to racism in policing and society, fiercely stirring the grievance pot to garner MAGA votes and, incredulously, still promotes a medieval border wall.

Zeldin shows us who he is: A backwardleaning, anti-democracy political animal devoid of principles, vision and leadership.

Believe him! His loss will be a win-win for NY1 and NYS. Caral Bond East Setauket

more favorable technique for retaining the quantity of usable water in the Island’s supply of groundwater.

I ask you to join me in voicing this growing concern. Many other Long Island residents share the same sentiment regarding this issue, as it poses a health risk to our communities and to our local ecosystems. I ask you to join me in reaching out to our local elected officials and representatives in order to increase the awareness of how our water is treated, and how we can act to improve both the quantity and quality of the water we use.

Thank you for the article on William Studier What a great article by Daniel Dunaief, in the April 15 Arts & Lifestyles section on research at Brookhaven National Lab [“Basic research at BNL in the 1980s paved the way for Pfizer, Moderna vaccines.”]. It’s so important to understand the importance of pure

research and the important progress that may not be understood or appreciated until years or decades later.

It was also special learning more about William Studier’s contributions.

He and his wife Susan were active members of Caroline Church in Setauket

for many years, and lived locally in Stony Brook.

Thank you for your article which brought back many memories and provided some new ones as well.

Opinion Two men face big decisions amid the pandemic cloud

I

have two friends whose sons are contemplating important choices. The first son, Matt, is trying to decide where to attend college.

He has gained admission to two elite schools.

He can’t go wrong, as his parents have told him repeatedly, with either choice. Making this decision in a normal year would be hard. In a pandemic year, it’s almost impossible.

Matt can’t stay over D. None at each school for a weekend or even attend of the above a few classes. He can’t

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF get much of a feeling for the “vibe” of the school because he can’t go into most of the buildings, even with a mask

and with his letter of admission.

He can compare the national rankings from U.S. News and World Report, check college guides, talk with his guidance counselor, chat with graduates from his high school who attend each school and stroll around each campus.

He can’t, however, fully try on the school, the way he might a tailored suit. Masks cover the faces of most of the people at each school, which makes it impossible to search for smiles on the faces of his potential future classmates.

He recently found himself leaning toward school A. The same day, his father spoke with a friend of his whose daughter was attending school B. His father showed a picture of his friend’s daughter to Matt. The friend’s attractive daughter caused Matt to rethink his tentative decision.

That brings me to my other friend’s son, Eric. In his mid-20s, Eric has been caught in the same social world that has limited the

options for everyone else.

Eric has been dating a woman for over two years and is considering the future of the relationship. He is not sure whether it’s the appropriate time to consider living together or getting married.

Eric is incredibly attached to his girlfriend, who has been one of the few people he sees regularly in real life during the pandemic.

Eric is not sure how long this altered reality, in which he works from home, speaks with family and friends virtually most of the time, and sees his girlfriend during his limited social hours, will last. In the meantime, he’d like something in his life to move forward.

Matt and Eric are weighing their options.

For Matt, the choice of college may well come down to the last picture of another student he sees before he pushes a button.

Choosing a college can, and likely should, involve more significant factors. Then again, both of the colleges line up so well that he is

likely to have a similar experience, albeit with different people around him, at each school.

Eric’s decision, however, isn’t so interchangeable. It involves a leap of faith that those of us who are married have made that relies on our own criteria. We can consult family, friends, and counselors as we weigh the pros and cons, but, ultimately, the responsibility and opportunity rest with us.

Coming up with his own questions and his own scale to evaluate the relationship is challenging, particularly when everything seems somewhere between good and great right now. He can’t possibly know what life will look like in two, five, 10 or 20 years from now.

I don’t envy either Matt or Eric as they contemplate these decisions. I do, however, agree with Matt’s parents: he can’t go wrong.

For Eric, the decision has more significant longer-term ramifications and likely reflects variables that are difficult to imagine, particularly amid the uncertainty of the present.

Be who you want to be after the pandemic

W

ould you like to be different? Would you like to change your personality?

Perhaps you would like to be more extroverted. Or more open to new experiences.

Or even just more organized. Well, thanks to the pandemic, here is your chance.

People can and do successfully change their personalities even as adults. Now we are about to emerge from the isolation of lockdown and quarantine and rejoin the larger world.

Between The stage is set for you and me a new you. But this

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF transformation will take work. To start, one could embrace the “As If Principle,” proposed by Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor at the University of Hertfordshire in England. This would require one to behave as if one were already that

different person, and after a time, the new behavior and the person would sync. Famously, that is the story the debonair Cary Grant told of his early life, which started on the Bristol docks as Archie Leach and wound up at the pinnacle in Hollywood. “I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person.

Or he became me,” Grant said, according to the British newspaper, The Guardian.

An article in the April 11 issue of The New York Times took up this subject. Headlined, “You Can Be a New You After the Pandemic,” written by Olga Khazan, the story states the following. “Researchers have found that adults can change the five traits that make up personality — extroversion, openness to experience, emotional stability, agreeableness and conscientiousness — within just a few months.”

Another psychology professor, this one at Columbia University, asserts a similar theme.

Geraldine Downey, who studies social rejection, has found that “socially excluded people who want to become part of a group are better off if they assume that other people will like them.

They should behave as if they are the popular kid. Getting into social interactions expecting the worst, as many socially anxious people do, tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.” In another example of change, “people were able to become more extroverted or conscientious in four months just by listing the ways they’d like to change and what steps they would take to get there,” according to the NYT article. If one wants to be more outgoing, one can make a list of upcoming events in which to interact or persons to call for lunches, and after enough such efforts, the act becomes natural.

It can help in this transformation to see a therapist, research recommends. One such example described a person with neuroticism, “a trait responsible for anxiety and rumination.”

After a short burst of therapy, in which the “warm, comforting presence” of a therapist encouraged the idea that the client is a valued person, neuroticism receded, and the studies showed the effect lasted for at least a year.

But not everyone can afford a therapist.

developed an app that “reminded people to perform small tasks to help tweak their personalities, like “talk to a stranger when you go grocery shopping,” to prompt extroversion.

The app then asks them if they had done that.

According to the study, after three months, the change had stuck.

Agreeableness, by the way, involves “greater empathy and concern for others.” And so, being agreeable after this pandemic could mean being gentler toward one another. We now know, for example, how much essential workers sacrificed during the pandemic, many even their lives. That would suggest greater kindness and patience toward someone who, during the pre-pandemic, might just have been dismissed as annoying. We don’t know what exactly has been that person’s recent experience. At least that can be a conscious thought to modify behavior in what otherwise might have been a contentious situation.

For those who wish to change or live differently, as the NYT article says, “your personality is more like a sand dune than a stone.”
