Councilmembers Joan Cergol and Mark Cuthbertson welcome all interested members of the public to join the Flynn family and their Town Board colleagues at the renaming of the Crab Meadow Golf Course in honor of former Huntington Town Supervisor Robert J. Flynn. Supervisor Flynn established the course as part of the first municipal parks system in the history of Suffolk County. The dedication ceremony will take place on Friday, Aug. 13 at 12 p.m. at Crab Meadow Golf Course, located at 220 Waterside Road in Northport. Cergol and Cuthbertson introduced the resolution to rename the golf course in Supervisor Flynn’s honor on Dec. 15, 2020 and it was unanimously adopted by the Huntington Town Board. When Flynn took office as Huntington Town Supervisor in 1960, the current Crab Meadow Golf Course property was abandoned, having formerly belonged to the Northport Country Club that had closed in the 1940s. Flynn spearheaded a $2.5 million bond referendum that was overwhelmingly approved by Huntington voters in 1962, and

the town hired esteemed golf course architect William F. Mitchell to design the course. Crab Meadow Golf Course opened in 1965. The Crab Meadow Golf Course is home to a wide range of events for local charities, schools, businesses and other organizations, including the annual Lenney Peters Junior Golf Tournament, named after the course’s first in-house golf professional. The tournament, first hosted in 1968 and revived in 2016 by Cuthbertson, celebrates youth golf, sportsmanship and the love of the game. “Our town owes a great debt to Supervisor Flynn for his important work as a pioneer in preserving our beautiful parks and open spaces,” Cergol said. “It is a privilege to be able to dedicate the Crab Meadow Golf Course in his honor and to celebrate Supervisor Flynn’s enduring legacy.” “The Crab Meadow Golf Course is one of the crown jewels of Huntington’s parks program, celebrating golf at all talent levels,” added Cuthbertson. “I cannot think of a better way to pay tribute to Supervisor Flynn than by dedicating this beautiful golf course in his name.”

Community reluctant over Coindre Hall boathouse restoration BY KIMBERLY BROWN KIMBERLY@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Coindre Hall boathouse, located directly behind Coindre Hall, has been a staple to the Huntington community for decades. Looking over the Long Island Sound, the historic boathouse has remained empty and become run down over the years, causing residents to push for restoration. Unfortunately, SuperStorm Sandy caused significant damage to the seawall of the boathouse. As a result, Suffolk County agreed with the Town of Huntington to allocate funds to the rehabilitation of the boathouse. However, the foundation was crumbling, and it was decided the seawall needed to be fixed first before making any other renovations. “This process has taken a number of years,” said Suffolk County Legislator Doc Spencer, founder of the advisory board for the boathouse. “We had gotten people with experience in restoring historic structures and our capital budget in the county now has funds to repair the seawall and move onto the boathouse itself.” Throughout the years after SuperStorm Sandy, teenagers have broken into the boathouse and painted graffiti. While outside there has been a significant amount of growth of weeds and underbrush surrounding the property. With community members demanding to know when the improvements to the boathouse will move forward, Spencer decided to establish a community advisory board.

“Anything the advisory board advocates for will be what best serves the public,” said Garrett Chelius, chairperson of the advisory board. “But remember, we are just an advisory board, we don’t make policy, we just make recommendations to the legislature.” Although the board was created a year and a half ago, any attempts to improve the property were immediately halted due to the pandemic. This summer, the board was able to advise on how to improve the boathouse once again. “The boathouse itself structurally needs a lot of work before it might literally fall down,” Chelius said. “The pier is currently disconnected from the seawall so it’s unusable and the seawall itself has some erosion issues.” Many of the other members are a part of the surrounding community and have taken a strong interest in bettering the property. “One of the first things we got permission from the town parks department to do was to get rid of the weeds and other plants around the boathouse,” Spencer said. The Town of Huntington partnered with a company that used a bobcat to pull out several years’ worth of underbrush and invasive species, which began to pose a safety hazard. A meeting by the advisory board was held to discuss the plans of removing the weeds in 2020, however, it wasn’t widely advertised due to COVID, and the meetings were held on Zoom. “That led to concern in the community because when they looked in and saw what was happening. They thought we were clearing the property and developing on it,” Spencer said.

“But we can’t do that. We don’t have the power to. We were just cutting the weeds back so we can begin restoring the seawall. It was also a liability and neglect.” With a confusion of what the boathouse’s future was to become, community members became distressed and wanted to halt any further construction. “There was a significant misunderstanding, throw social media in there and it becomes an uproar,” Spencer said. The Department of Environmental Conservation was called in by community members, who asked to take a look at what was going on with the property. The bobcat was ordered to halt any further removal of the weeds. The advisory board is meeting with the DEC on Aug. 4 to discuss the issue and An advisory board is working on solutions for the Coindre Hall boathouse that make sure there is a collective fell into disrepair years ago.

North Shore resident aims to help those in chronic pain in person and online

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Tara Salay is a big believer in the natural healing aspects of yoga. The former physical therapist turned yoga instructor specializes in teaching yoga to those with chronic pain and pelvic health issues. Recently, she opened a business in Setauket. The St. James resident said working as a physical therapist for five years she regularly advised patients with chronic pain and pelvic issues to take yoga classes. Unfortunately, many patients couldn’t find a class that helped them. Before the pandemic, she began to think about opening a yoga studio that would cater to these individuals, but as businesses had to shut their doors due to state mandates, Salay took to the virtual classroom to introduce her business. “It was the push that I needed in a way because I had all the plans before, and then I was, like, I have the time now let me just do it,” she said. With COVID-19 restrictions being lifted, Salay eventually was able to rent a space part-time and then a month ago began renting full-time and opened up her studio in the Port Jefferson Chiropractic building on Route 25A near Washington Street. Right now, she doesn’t have a name for the studio and operates under her name. Her goal is “to bring awareness of how yoga can help people who are dealing with chronic conditions.” Chronic pain and pelvic issues are common. Salay said issues in the pelvic area range from problems for both women and men with the bladder, actual pain in the pelvis, sexual dysfunction or even bowel issues. She added some people will go to physical therapy with pelvic pain and will feel better, but then will face a stressful situation and the issues will return. “That’s why yoga is really great for it, because it works on the mindbody connection and teaches them how to relax those muscles so they’re not tensing up every time that they’re stressed out,” she said. The instructor said yoga is more than different poses but also about breathwork and meditation, and many are hesitant because

they think they can’t handle the poses, which sometimes look difficult. “We can make it work for your body,” Salay said. “There’s more to yoga that I think people aren’t aware of, and they think that you have to have a certain body type or be flexible or be able to get into these crazy positions to do yoga, and that’s definitely not true at all.” With her physical therapy experience, she said she has a deep understanding of the body, and she can guide her clients to help keep them safe. Salay has been practicing yoga for more than 10 years, and when she decided she wanted to open a yoga studio took the classes to become a teacher. Originally, she thought —Tara Salay she would incorporate her yoga training into her physical therapy, but the reverse happened. “My teacher training was just so transformational for me personally that I just wanted to transition,” Salay said. “I just want to dedicate myself to doing yoga. I’ll use my knowledge as a PT but this is what I’m

‘My teacher training was just so transformational for me personally that I just wanted to transition. I just want to dedicate myself to doing yoga. I’ll use my knowledge as a PT but this is what I’m doing now.’

doing now.” In addition to opening a yoga business, the 30-year-old is planning her wedding to her fiancé, Scott, later this year. She said to balance everything she has some help with planning the wedding that she is keeping on the small side, and she meditates every morning to center herself for the day and stay positive. For those trying to open a new business while juggling life’s responsibilities, she has advice. “Take one step at a time and have a set schedule and try your best not to overwhelm yourself,” she said. “I was trying to do two blogs a week. I had to do one a week. It was

setting my priorities on where I really needed to spend my time and making that clear.” Currently, Salay offers private lessons or classes for small groups by appointment only. She said, as her clientele grows, she would like to offer set classes targeted toward certain conditions such as pelvic pain or osteoporosis. The studio is located at 416 Main St., Setauket. Classes are still available online for those who may not be comfortable practicing in public just yet or may not live nearby. For more information, visit her website: drtarasalay.com.

County

Suffolk unveils new website dedicated to addiction and mental health resources BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A new website dedicated to addiction and mental health resources has been unveiled to provide residents with easy-to-access services for those who are struggling. On Thursday, July 22, Suffolk County legislator and chairwoman of the county Legislature Health Committee, Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), joined county Department of Health Services Commissioner Gregson Pigott, county Division of Community Mental Hygiene Services Director Cari Faith Besserman, together with members of the county Department of Information Technology and the county Addiction Prevention and Support Advisory Panel outside the William H. Rogers Building in Hauppauge to announce the launch of the website suffolkstopaddiction.org. The webpage was created by Resolution No. 34-2021, introduced by Anker and unanimously passed earlier this year. The legislation directed the county Department of Information Technology and the Department of Health to collaborate to create a comprehensive webpage dedicated to addiction, mental health, substance use disorder prevention and rehabilitation services. The webpage features sections that include important emergency numbers, substance use disorder and mental health information and resources, and a list of treatment providers compiled by the county Division of Community Mental Hygiene Services. “I want to thank the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, the Division of Community Mental Hygiene Services and the Department of Information Technology for their tireless work they put into creating this webpage,” Anker said. “With the concerning rise in addiction and mental health issues after a challenging year, our hope is that this webpage will help increase the accessibility of the possibly life-saving resources that are available through the Suffolk County Health Department and improve our ability to reach those who are in need of help in our county.” Anker sponsored the resolution in response to the growing opioid and substance abuse epidemic in the county and across the U.S. During an October public hearing, Victoria Sunseri, a Suffolk County constituent in the medical field, noted that it was difficult for providers to locate mental health and/or addiction resources for their patients. The panel members echoed the importance of providers being able to connect a person to treatment options and for residents to find important information in a user-friendly way. In response, Anker facilitated the creation of the webpage singularly dedicated to addiction and mental health resources and services.

“Throughout the pandemic, we have received a surge in calls from individuals seeking mental health resources from crisis intervention to addiction rehabilitation,” Sunseri said. “This mental health hub will serve to empower individuals by reducing the time and frustration they might experience while seeking help appropriate to their needs and by streamlining reception of services through increasing the salience of who does what, where and how.” This comes just days after the county Legislature convened July 12 to consider and vote on certificates of necessity concerning settlements with several defendants in the county’s pending opioid litigation. These certificates were approved promptly after legislators met in executive session to discuss details related to the litigation. On Feb. 3, 2015, county legislator and current presiding officer, Rob Calarco (D-Patchogue), introduced legislation to establish a six-member committee to determine the viability of legal action against drug manufacturers and ascertain Suffolk’s costs due to the over-prescription of opioids. Following this study, Calarco spearheaded the resolution that authorized the special counsel to commence legal action(s) against all responsible parties. The law firm of Simmons Hanly Conroy LLC was retained, on

a contingency basis, to represent the County of Suffolk in this complex litigation. Suffolk County was one of the first three counties in the United States to act against opioid manufacturers in 2015. The counties of Orange and Santa Clara in California and the city of Chicago took similar action in that same period. These settlement dollars will be used in accordance with any requirements outlined in relation to such settlement and, in all likelihood, will be put toward educational programming, treatment and other related efforts to remedy the impacts of this crisis. According to a Calarco press release following the July 12 special meeting, settlements were approved with Rite Aid of New York $1.5 million; CVS $3.5 million plus the additional amount of $500,000 if certain settlements are reached with other defendants; Walmart $3,062,500; Walgreens $5 million; Johnson & Johnson a sum between $8.4 million and $19.8 million over 10 years “to be used for restitution and abatement and agreeing not to manufacture, sell or promote opioids going forward”; and between approximately $10.4 million and $19.6 million over nine years from the Purdue/Sackler family. “When we began to experience this crisis, it quickly became apparent that our constituents were being overprescribed opioids, and this negligence is what led to the widespread addiction in our community,” Calarco said. “Pharmacies

had a responsibility to track the distribution of these medications carefully. Their failure to do so furthered the impact of this crisis by allowing individuals to pharmacy shop to obtain more of these powerful drugs. The pharmaceutical companies and their affiliates knew that they were pushing a highly addictive drug that was unsafe for long-term use. Yet, they proceeded anyway, all in the name of turning a profit.” He added that while these settlements cannot repair the damage done or bring back those who we lost to the grips of this epidemic, it has already made a substantial impact. Doctors are now prescribing medication differently, and two of the major manufacturers of these dangerous medications will cease production for good. “With this settlement, we are going to have substantial resources that we’re going to be able to put into this epidemic that’s been plaguing our county for so long, and to be able to make sure that our residents had the ability to get connected to treatment services to prevention services,” Calarco said at last Thursday’s press conference. “There are windows of time, where you have clarity, and you recognize that you need help. … We need to make sure that we have the resources there for you at those windows, so you can take advantage of that help. That’s what this resource guide is about — it’s about making sure that you know where to go.”

Obituary

Harry de Leyer well-known North Shore horse trainer, equestrian dies at 93

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

A former St. James resident, who is remembered for saving an 8-year-old plow horse from a slaughterhouse and turning him into a champion, died June 25 in Stanardsville, Virginia, at the age of 93. Harry de Leyer’s work and the bond with the horse named Snowman was documented in the 2011 book “The Eighty-Dollar Champion” by Elizabeth Letts and the 2016 film “Harry & Snowman” where the skill and heart of both were celebrated. The well-known tale of him and Snowman, who was also known as “The Cinderella Horse,” began in 1956 when he saved the animal from a slaughterhouse in Pennsylvania for $80. De Leyer was late for a horse auction, but when he saw one of the last horses he knew the animal had potential to train young riders at The Knox School in Nissequogue where he worked. The equestrian and horse trainer would go on to turn the worn-out workhorse into the winner of the United States Equestrian Federation Horse of the Year in 1958 and land the “triple crown” of show jumping in the same year. Snowman also made history in 1959 as the first horse to win the Open Jumper Championship two years in a row. In 1983, de Leyer went on to represent the United States at the World Championships. “I came to this country with nothing in my pocket,” de Leyer said in the 2016 documentary film. “Then I met Snowman and he made my name in this country.” In the documentary, de Leyer talks about the time he attempted to sell Snowman to a doctor who lived a few miles away. A couple of days later, Snowman showed up at de Leyer’s property. The horse trainer thought the doctor may have left a gate open, but the new owner said that Snowman had jumped the gate. A few days later, after the doctor heightened the gate, Snowman once again came back to de Leyer. It was then the trainer realized the horse’s jumping potential and bought him back. De Leyer was born in 1927 in SintOedenrode, Netherlands, according to his obituary from Moloney Funeral Home. He was the oldest of 13 children, and his family was part of the underground during World War II and helped many Jews escape the Nazis through the Netherlands. De Leyer and his first wife, Johanna, came to America after de Leyer’s family sent the dog tags of a deceased soldier that they never met home to his parents. He and Johanna were sponsored by the soldier’s family when they arrived the United States. His first job in the country was working on his sponsor’s farm in North Carolina where

his talents for training and jumping horses were recognized. Soon after they arrived in America, the couple headed for Long Island and raised eight children in St. James. In the 1970s de Leyer and Johanna divorced. Later in life, he had a farm in East Hampton and then moved to Virginia. He also married again to his second wife, Joan. While living in St. James, in addition to being the riding instructor at The Knox School, he also gave lessons at his St. James home, Hollandia Farms. After his passing, The Knox School posted on its Facebook page. “Mr. de Leyer came to Knox in 1954 and was a beloved trainer and member of the school community,” the post read. “His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who remember how Mr. de Leyer saved Snowman from slaughter and turned a gentle giant of a plow horse into a champion jumper.” The post announced that a stall in the school’s historic equestrian center will be dedicated to the memory of Harry and Snowman in the future. Jackie Bittner, owner of Hidden Lake Farm Riding School in Southold, attended The Knox School for four years and took riding lessons from de Leyer. She said she was fortunate to keep in touch with him through the years and considered him a best friend. As a trainer, Bittner said, de Leyer was strict. “Rightfully so,” she said. “He really wanted you to do the right thing and to be a good rider. He tried to make everyone a good rider.” She said sometimes she would doubt if she was able to do a trick on a horse. “He asked you to do all kinds of things, and I say, ‘Oh, I don’t know,’ but you would do whatever he asked with the horse, because he was just the type of person that you wanted to please.” Janis Lando remembers taking lessons from him at Hollandia Farm when she lived in Smithtown. “I rode as an early teen and remembered flying over fences without hands on the reins,” she said. “He believed in the softmouth approach and more control with one’s legs. I also recall him slipping a quarter under the knee, and he expected you to hold it there as you rode.” When Laurette Berry was 13 years old and her family first moved from Manhattan to Stony Brook, she said her father signed up her and her siblings for lessons with de Leyer after a neighbor recommended him. “The very first lesson we were jumping,” she said. “We had never been on a horse before in our lives. With Harry, you either were a daredevil or he wasn’t interested.” After a few lessons, their father decided

to go to another trainer as he was afraid his children would get hurt, but Berry remembers how in control de Leyer was of his horses during the short time she trained with him. “He was like the ringleader in a circus where the animals just went,” she said. “You were sitting on the horse’s back, but he was in full control of them. He was such a good trainer, and the horses just did whatever he wanted them to do.” A few years later, Berry became involved in the Smithtown Hunt Club where she encountered de Leyer once again. The club would conduct hunts all over Suffolk County from St. James, Old Field and even in the Hamptons. She remembered one time during a hunt being in the water in Head of the Harbor and seeing pieces of ice. She said de Leyer forged ahead as he did in other hunts as he wasn’t afraid of anything. Barbara Clarke, of Bridgehampton, also was involved in the foxhunts with de Leyer in the ’70s. “He was always enthusiastic and brought a lot of riders with him,” she said. “He loved it. He loved nothing better than following a pack of hounds through the woods.” Clarke remembered de Leyer from when her sister-in-law Janice attended The Knox School, and Clarke would go to some of the horse shows to see the students compete, including at Madison Square Garden. She said

he always made sure the girls were safe on the horses and described him as the “Pied Piper.” De Leyer is predeceased by Johanna and Joan and his sons Joseph, Harry Jr. and William de Leyer. He is survived by his children Harriet de Leyer, Martin and Debbie de Leyer, Andre and Christine de Leyer, John and Maria de Leyer and AnnMarie de Leyer as well as his grandchildren Charissa, Cassandra, Johnathon, Kyle, Jason, Travis, Dylan, Michaela, Andre, Johanna, Emma, Philip, Heather, Jeffery and Shane; greatgrandchildren Brayden and Addison and great-great-grandchild William Harry.

Long Island native coaches Team USA softball to silver in Olympics BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Coached by 1979 Ward Melville High School graduate Ken Eriksen, Team USA softball team ran out of walk-off magic in the gold medal game Tuesday. After coming from behind to beat Australia, 2-1, and then Japan by the same score in the last two games before the final, Team USA couldn’t rally to beat Japan in the gold medal game, falling 2-0. Eriksen, who had a successful college baseball career, has extensive softball coaching and playing experience, including as the current head coach of the University of South Florida for over 24 years. He has had several roles with the national team over the years, including as an assistant on the 2004 Olympic team that won gold in Athens. He became head coach of Team USA in 2011. Members of the local athletic community expressed their admiration for the coach and his involvement at the Olympic games. “For one of our former student athletes to be coaching on the highest stage possible in the world is something we’re so proud of,” said Kevin Finnerty, athletic director of the Three Village Central School District. Eriksen’s role shows “that our students, through hard work, effort and time can” reach their goals. Joseph Burger, who has been coaching softball at Ward Melville for seven years, appreciated the connection between Eriksen and the high school. “When you have a Ward Melville graduate coaching the Olympic team, that sheds a great

light on the sport and what we’re trying to do here,” Burger said. “This is very positive for the program.” Burger appreciated how Team USA showed sportsmanship at the end of the loss, which, he said, reflects well on the coach. Burger, who posted the Team USA softball schedule on the high school softball team’s Instagram page, said the games set a great example for his players. The Olympians are “aggressive toward the ball,” he said. Rising Ward Melville junior third baseman and team captain Alicea Pepitone watched the gold medal game. “They played their hearts out this whole series in the Olympics,” said Pepitone, who would like to play in college. “They should be proud, even though it didn’t go down the way they wanted it to.” Pepitone thought it was “awesome” that Coach Eriksen attended Ward Melville. She recalls watching softball in the Olympics in 2008. “I want to be one of those girls on that field and wearing that jersey,” she said. Reached by email before the final game, Eriksen responded to TBR’s questions from Tokyo. TBR: Who were some of your softball mentors growing up in Setauket? Eriksen: My coaching mentors from Long Island were Russ Cain at Gelinas Junior High School and Coach Everett Hart. They were both tremendous teachers. They both taught the game, and you would never know you were up by 10 or down by 10. They treated and respected the game as it

should be … a teaching platform for life. TBR: Have you emulated any of the coaching patterns you observed as a player? Eriksen: Most definitely. It’s all about the players’ ability to be prepared for any situation and trust them to react to the situations. TBR: What is the best advice you received as a player? Eriksen: Trust your preparation. Less is more. TBR: Do you use that advice with the players on USA softball? Eriksen: Every day. TBR: Is the sport of softball any different than it was during the age of Jennie Finch? Eriksen: It’s more competitive worldwide now than it was prior to 2008. You can see that by the competition in the last four World Championships and the 2021 games. TBR: Does the sport require any different skill sets? Eriksen: Absolutely as it does comparatively to baseball. TBR: How is USA softball any different from softball in the rest of the world? Eriksen: The expectations sometimes are unrealistic in respect of not thinking it’s a global game. TBR: Does your team or does the program emphasize specific skills that differentiate it from softball in the rest of the world?

Eriksen: Not really. Everyone spends an inordinate amount of time trying to be flawless. TBR: What is different about coaching and playing? Eriksen: It was easier to play! Only had to worry about me! TBR: Have you had to learn different skill sets as a coach than you had as a player? Eriksen: Obviously when you are dealing as a manager in any organization there is a “human hierarchy of needs” that each player presents to you as a coach. When you have a unit that is together for years, you better understand the people first. TBR: Was it challenging to coach and play softball without anyone in the stands? Eriksen: Not really. When you are locked into the moment, all noise is irrelevant in the heads of elite athletes. TBR: Was the team able to provide the energy and excitement that the crowd might normally offer in the context of a more typical softball game or season? Eriksen: We bring it every day regardless. That happens when you wear U-S-A on the front of your jersey. TBR: What’s next after the Olympics? Eriksen: For me … getting away from the spotlight. Won’t be hard. I love the “game,” but it’s a game. It’s not my whole life. The old saying … “gone fishing.”

Editorial

Long Islanders need to be mindful

We thought that the end was near with the coronavirus, but unfortunately the new Delta variant has people across the country concerned. While many people — 68% of New Yorkers ages 18 and older — have been fully vaccinated, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said this week that 21 Long Island zip codes have low vaccination rates. The state will spend $15 million to target these communities in an effort to get more people vaccinated. During his press conference on Monday, Cuomo said that new daily cases have been jumping due to the highly contagious Delta variant of the virus. Cuomo added that about 75% of adults in the state have received at least one dose of the vaccine, but 25% have not — which is a total of 3.5 million people. Only 0.15% of people in the state who are vaccinated have become infected with the virus. While things have opened up again, and life seems to be back to normal, the Delta variant can change that quickly. In areas that Cuomo named, which included parts of Rocky Point, Miller Place, Selden, Port Jefferson Station and Lake Grove, the $15 million funding from the state budget will be used to strengthen communication, expand public education and enhance ongoing outreach efforts throughout diverse communities. But that isn’t enough. The fact that so many people are choosing not to get vaccinated, and who are not being careful in doing so, is concerning. We understand that there are people who have extreme health issues that prevent them from getting the jab, and we respect that. We understand that everyone has the right to choose to be vaccinated, but when there is a public health crisis that has taken the lives of so many innocent people, how could one not choose to get the shot? There is a lot of false information out there, and it’s sad to see that no one trusts science anymore. What happened to March 2020 when everyone was in this together? Why did something like a shot to prevent getting sick become so polarizing? Why are people fighting in supermarkets if they choose to wear a mask for protection, and someone who is anti-mask disagrees? Of all the new and recent COVID-19 cases statewide, 72% come from the Delta variant. Don’t we want to get back to normal? Weddings are finally allowed to include more than 50 people. Meetings are in-person again. We have a lot to look forward to, and it would be so disappointing to fall back to where we were last year because of fear or misinformation. Protect yourself. Protect your friends and family. This can be prevented.

Letters to the Editor Matters of scientific fact, observation

The letter by Desmond O’Sullivan in the July 15 edition [“Cherry-picking does a disservice”] accusing Shoshana Hershkowitz and Adam Fisher of “cherrypicking whatever fits one’s own narratives” made me laugh. That’s because it seems Mr. O’Sullivan has been picking a few very ripe cherries of his own. He writes that medical opinion supporting vaccination is “disputed by extremely competent medical professionals.” Who exactly are these “extremely competent medical professionals?” Are they specialists in the field of epidemiology, immunology or public health? Or are they heart specialists, oncologists or chiropodists? Looks like Mr. O’Sullivan has picked a somewhat rotten cherry here, since the overwhelming consensus among all medical professionals is that vaccination, particularly against COVID-19, is essential if we are to have any realistic hope of emerging from this pandemic without the virus evolving into yet more contagious, deadly and possibly vaccine-proof variants first. One doesn’t even have to be an extremely competent medical professional to be aware of some basic facts. Up until the 19th century, smallpox was one of the most common and deadly diseases afflicting humanity. What enabled humanity to end this scourge? The very first vaccine developed! Polio was a major scourge within living memory. What enabled us to eliminate it except for a few areas in the world where resistance to vaccination is encouraged? A vaccine. In 2000 measles was declared eliminated from the U.S. However, 14 years later an outbreak occurred centered on Disneyland, California. What allowed measles to regain a foothold in the U.S.? Failure to vaccinate against it. You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to reach the obvious conclusion about vaccination and deadly contagious diseases. These are not cherry-picked facts; they’re matters of observation and scientific fact. As for U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1], it’s not cherry-picking facts to point out he’s far more interested in advancing his political career than in doing what’s best for his constituents. As part of the Republican majority when the tax bill of 2017 was passed cutting the SALT deduction to the detriment of many of his constituents, what did Zeldin do? He had bargaining power then. Did he use it? No, he was afraid of angering the leaders of his party including former President Donald Trump [R]. Why does Zeldin vote against every effort to reduce greenhouse gases, including measures to

reduce methane emissions at oil and gas wells? Must be the oil and gas industry has a huge presence on Long Island, creating thousands of jobs. Oh wait — that’s not true. And it’s not like we on Long Island, being surrounded by water and with an elevation for the most part of below 50 feet, have nothing to fear from global warming. I’m not cherry-picking Zeldin’s record of pleasing bigwigs of his party at the expense of his constituents; there are plenty more examples, but space doesn’t permit. But anybody who’s been following his political career knows what the score is. David Friedman St. James

Get up already

I agree with the letter written by Art Billadello of East Setauket in the July 8 edition, “Are you awake or woke.” Pragmatically speaking, this letter was “right on the money.” In my opinion, it cannot be debated among sanethinking, patriotic, law-abiding citizens of America. For example: Say bye-bye to the statue of Lewis and Clark featuring Sacagawea [in Charlottesville, Virginia]. Down it comes! Why? Because she was depicted as crouching behind two white men. To some it is disparaging. On the other hand, to some she is looked upon as their guide doing her job, looking down and tracking. And what about the statue of Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson [of the Brooklyn Dodgers, located in Coney Island], two of America’s greatest baseball players, working together as a team — one a white man and the other an African American. Is this woke because these two men were united, instead of being divided? And what about the statue of the three women consisting of Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in Central Park, one African American woman and two white women. Three women working in unity instead of division in the struggle for women’s rights. Will this too be considered woke at some point? Time out people! Start working together instead of looking for reasons not to work together. Aren’t you tired of acting like children instead of grownups? I know it’s easy to go along in order to get along, but I bet most of you are fed up with this ridiculous word woke, but don’t have the fortitude to admit it. I remember when woke meant when you got up! So why don’t all of you get up already? Rhoda Angelier Port Jefferson Station

Defining woke

“Woke” simply means “alert to the injustice in society,” nothing more ominous than that. It includes acknowledging racism but encompasses much more. Is Art Billadello who wrote the letter “Are you awake or woke” in the July 8 edition — and others who go on in the same “politically incorrect” way — actually suggesting that we live in a just and equitable society? Can anyone claim that with a straight face? What “societal norms which have held our country together for generations” are they talking about? The ones where police are allowed to regularly kill unarmed suspects — Black and white, but disproportionately Black — without fear of accountability? I agree that corporate and cultural gestures toward inclusiveness are superficial, but saying corporate boards have been exposed to “wokeness indoctrination” is naive. Corporations will go along with whatever placates their customers — they’re about making money, not improving society. (And how is changing product names “dangerous to the future of our constitutional republic?”) The real problem is that these symbolic gestures, though often welcome, are distractions from the more serious issues of widespread abuse, bias and disenfranchisement on the basis of race, sex, age, class, wealth, sexual orientation and education. Perhaps some people know our society is biased, but are happy to see it stay that way. In that case, why not just say so? Don’t try to claim the moral high ground. And certainly, don’t go on about the “socialist, radical, woke left,” since that is really an admission that whatever their flaws, the left has a moral conscience you lack. The vitriol and mocking outrage in these letters from the right suggests these folks know perfectly well they don’t live in an equitable society. The extremely wealthy may simply want rock-bottom taxes and see Republican rule as the means to that end. But the attitude of the rest is more mysterious. Maybe they fear that if they acknowledge how unjust our society is that it will somehow invalidate their own suffering and hard work. Nobody likes learning that the game they’re doing so well in is on a playing field tilted in their favor. If one acknowledges that our society is unjust, the debate isn’t about the need for change to address historic and current injustice, but about precisely which changes will be effective. That’s a conversation those on the left would be happy to have. John Hover East Setauket

Parenting milestones: from a deer in the headlights to planning vacations for two

ne day, you wake up and your kids who called noodles “noonies” are getting ready for college. No, not exactly. It’s a long journey filled with skinned knees, ripped tee shirts — don’t ask -— eye rolling and muttering between clenched teeth. Still, here we are, as our kids prepare to move on from the educational minor leagues. Along the way, we went through numerous milestones. Please find below a few of the phases in D. None our journey. of the above — Deer in the headlights. I’ve seen BY DANIEL DUNAIEF deer in my headlights. The only difference between them and us

when we first brought our children home is that the deer’s eyes are open much wider. We almost instantly became sleep-deprived. Other than that, we had that frozen not-surewhere-to-move feeling, knowing we had to do something, but not exactly sure what or in what order to take care of those needs. — Hating everyone. People meant well back in the days when our children were young and cried. Numerous people, who didn’t live with or even know our needy infants, offered unsolicited advice about what this scream or that scream meant. Strangers would tell us how our daughter’s cry meant she had gas, was hungry, needed her diaper changed, or was hot or cold. Yes, thanks, those are the options. Thanks for the help! — Cooking the plastics. Yup, back in the early days, I was so sleep deprived that I put plastic bottles in a pot of boiling water to sterilize them and fell asleep. It wasn’t until I smelled the burning plastic that I realized how long I’d been out.

— Carrying everything: We couldn’t go four blocks without a diaper bag filled with everything, including the special toy each of them needed, diapers, wipes, ointment, sunscreen, bug spray, rain jackets, boots, and extra clothing. — Straining our backs: Picking the kids up and playing with them was fun when they were under 20 pounds. When they reached 50 and above, holding them the entire length of a ski slope became impossible. — Crazy sports parents: This phase lasted much longer than it should have. It was only when the kids reached late middle school that I appreciated the fresh air, the sparkling sunlight and the excitement of the moment. Exercise and making friends are the goal. Everything else, including winning, is gravy. — Giving them space (aka, it’s not about us). As they reached adolescence, our children needed to make their own decisions. Tempting as it was to jump in and redirect them or even to kiss them before they left the car for middle

school, we bit our tongues as often as we could, leaving us feeling lonely and nostalgic in our cars as they joined their friends. — Beautiful naps: Giving them space allowed us to do what we wanted. After years of living our lives while monitoring and helping theirs, we had a chance to do exactly what we wanted, which started with restorative naps. — Sending them into space. We aren’t putting them in a Jeff Bezos rocket ship or sending them to the International Space Station, but we are preparing to give them an opportunity to explore the world outside our house. — Looking at the calendar differently. With both of them on the way to their futures, we can choose places to visit that didn’t interest them. We can visit these places when school is in session, which should mean lower costs for us. — Telling other people how to take care of their kids: With our free time, we see parents struggling with young children. We, of course, know better. Or maybe not.

What could be worse than COVID-19?

t this time of renewed attention to COVID-19, I recommend escapism. I have managed it, and this is how I did it. I immersed myself in two books, one after the other. They weren’t great classics, just handme-downs from a person whose reading tastes I respect. He gave me both books, and like a magic carpet ride, they took me to a different time and place with interesting characters for travel companions. I enjoy historical fiction, and interestingly enough, both books use the siege of Leningrad by the Nazis during World War II as a critical Between context for their plots. you and me Although we are being BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF laid siege today by a malevolent virus, that act of war almost exactly 80 years ago was far different. Hitler wanted

to bomb the city into oblivion, believing that Eastern Europeans were worthless, and survivors were to be starved to death. The German army was under orders not to accept any truce offer that might be extended to them by the city leadership. The siege began on Sept. 8, 1941, and ended, after 872 days of torment, on Jan. 27, 1944. The pre-war population of about two and a half million was reduced at the end to about 800,000 by extreme famine, disease and artillery strikes, one of the most destructive blockades in history. To make matters even worse, that first winter saw temperatures plummet as low as - 40 degrees. The dead piled up in the streets. There were even instances of cannibalism. The survivors were marked forever. This is a major catalyst of the first book, “Winter Garden,” by best-selling author, Kristin Hannah. It is the story of the relationship between a mother and her two daughters, and between the daughters themselves, that bears the aftereffects of what has been termed by historians as attempted genocide in Leningrad. Anya is a cold and disapproving mother to

her children, and they feel cast out to survive emotionally, each in their own way as they grow up. The glue that holds the family together is the father, and when he becomes terminally ill, the dysfunction of the women is clearly revealed. The writing is dramatic and manages to sustain a heart-rending pathos as the plot builds. I tried to keep a dry eye as I read, but in vain. Each continuing episode tugged at my heart and my tears flowed anew with just about every chapter. The surprise ending is a stunner. Having barely recovered from Hannah’s epic story, I plowed into “City of Thieves,” by David Benioff. Unlike “Winter Garden,” in which the siege of Leningrad is considered for its profound and intergenerational consequences half a century later, Benioff’s main characters deal with the horror as it is unfolding. Seventeen-year-old Lev and 20-year-old Kolya somehow manage to make this into a coming-of-age story, with some laugh-out-loud dialogue even as they are fighting to survive. But don’t be misled. This account of the tragedy of Leningrad is, if anything, more brutal for its contemporaneous setting.

The two young men, through a bit of incredible yet somehow acceptable events, are sent off by a Soviet colonel amidst a starving city in search of a dozen eggs. It might as well be the holy grail for Arthurian medieval knights. In the course of the quest, they see and sometimes experience some of the individual terrors of the siege in what Benioff claims is historically accurate fashion. Benioff has delineated the plot according to specifics in Harrison Salisbury’s book, “The 900 Days,” and Curzio Malaparte’s “Kaputt.” The latter, a novel published in 1946 by an Italian war correspondent, is about the descent of European civilization on the Eastern Front during World War II, and the former, written in 1969, is by the respected American journalist detailing the definitive story of the prolonged battle. Benioff cites them as sources for his novel. They were hardly light reading, these two books my friend gave me, but they certainly kept my attention. They also taught me a bit, as good books do.
