Former COVID-19 Patient Visits Hospital to Give Thanks BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Among the grateful North Shore patients who have beaten the odds by surviving a severe case of the coronavirus is Ronkonkoma resident Vicki Burns. The 61-year-old stopped by St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown July 31 to say thank you to the health care workers who cared for her as she battled COVID-19 this past spring. Two dozen of those workers were on hand to greet her outside of the hospital’s entrance, and each of them, one by one, presented her with a flower that they placed in a vase to form a bouquet. “You don’t have a bouquet with one flower, right?” said nurse manager Lisa Koshansky to Burns after the presentation. “This is your team. So, each person was part of your bouquet that made up that whole team that took care of you.” Koshansky added that Burns affected everyone in the hospital during her two-month stay and, when she left, they all excitedly lined the halls as the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” played. Burns said she remembered the day, too. “It was another step for me to get closer to home,” she said.

The original visit to the hospital was followed by a few weeks in a rehabilitation center and countless doctor visits. During her stay at St. Catherine’s, Burns was in the

COVID unit, the intensive care unit, critical care unit and then moved to a room in the hospital’s 3 North section. Many of the staff members shared stories with her about her time at the hospital including how her husband, Ed Burns, called every day to check in. Workers would talk to him via FaceTime and show him his wife, even when she was in the prone position to increase oxygen levels; he was happy if all he saw was her head. “He never left her side,” physician assistant Dana Lamparter said. “He would park in the

Lamparter told her that once she did wake up, she was chatty and making up for the time she missed talking. It was the first time Burns was able to connect names to faces since she was unconscious most of her hospital stay. “It’s so hard to remember the name to each person, but it’s nice to see everybody that helped me,” Burns said.

Officials Criticize PSEG Storm Response as 440K Lose Power BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Sustained winds of over 40 miles per hour, with gusts of over 65 miles per hour from Tropical Storm Isaias, knocked out power to over 440,000 customers, according to PSEG. As of 9:45 a.m. on Thursday, fewer than 140,000 customers were still without power, as PSEG said it had restored power to about 300,000 customers. The utility expects to restore power to 85% of its customers by the end of the day on Friday, while the remaining percentage should have power by the end of the day on Saturday. PSEG tree crews and contracts have cleared 500 locations. Customers of PSEG were so frustrated with their inability to get through to the power company duringt the storm that they flooded the 911 phone lines, causing an increase of 400% in the volume of calls. “That is related to communication issues that were experienced by PSEG, where customers had a difficult time getting through or were unable to get through to report outages,” County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said during a press conference on Wednesday to provide an update after the storm. Bellone suggested it was “too early to diagnose what the problem was” at PSEG, but that is it “critical that we determine that for storms moving forward.” Other New York officials, such as State Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) have called for an investigation of the public utility. Just a day after the storm, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced he was directing the state Department of Public Service to launch an investigation in PSEG Long Island, along with other utility companies in New York on what went wrong with service restoration. While Bellone stopped short of urging an investigation into the communication problems for customers, he urged an “analysis and understanding of what happened. This was a major problem. Communications in a storm is critical. We need to understand why it happened.” PSEG insisted that the challenges with its communication systems didn’t impact the company’s efforts to restore power. Crews have been able to assess the damage and send teams to affected neighborhoods. “We have overcome many of the issues with Verizon that affected our call center operations yesterday,” Daniel Eichhorn, president and chief operating officer of PSEG said in a statement. “We understand how critical it is to share accurate and timely information with our customers and we continue working diligently to fully resolve these issues.” PSEG indicated it understood the importance of sharing accurate and timely information and

is seeing improvements in call center operations. The company is “working diligently to improve all of our systems to fully resolve these issues,” and urges customers to use the automated voice response system, if possible, at (800) 490-0075. PSEG is opening four customer outreach centers, starting at 10 am on Wednesday, which is providing free water and ice in a drive-through service. The locations are at 175 East Old Country Road in Hicksville, 250 Willis Avenue in Roslyn, 288 Pulaski Road in Greenlawn and 1650 Islip Avenue in Brentwood. The company has sent out 2,000 crews, including workers from New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Florida, Alabama, Kansas and Missouri. The crews will work 16-hour shifts around the clock until they have restored power. The teams will restore critical facilities first, then outages that affect the most people and then outages that affect smaller numbers or individual customers. PSEG reminded customers that downed wires should always be considered live. A safe distance is at least 30 feet away. Customers who see downed wires should call 911. The company also reminded residents not to drive over or stand near downed power lines. Large pools of standing water could be dangerous because wires could be hidden in them. PSEG urged people to stop, back up and take another path if they see downed wires. The county received 250 calls for downed trees and limbs on county roadways. Most of those were cleared by the early morning. As of mid-morning on Wednesday, five roads, including four in Huntington and one in Islip, remained partially closed. These are routes 17, 67, 86, 35 and 9. Bellone said PSEG is aware of the outages and is working to restore power throughout the county. Despite the calm after the storm, the county facilities, including golf courses, remained closed around midday Wednesday. “We’re hoping to have those back online [Wednesday] afternoon,” Bellone said. Smith Point County Park is also closed for swimming, as the outage has cut power to bathroom facilities. Brookhaven Town’s Holtsville Pool is closed. Brookhaven’s town beaches are open, but Davis Park, Great Gun and Ho Hum beaches all have red flag conditions, which prevents swimming and limits water access to knee-deep wading. Access to West Meadow Beach is also limited because of fallen trees in the area. Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) urged residents to report fallen trees, damage from town roadside trees, flooding or other storm damage to call 631-451- TOWN or go to BrookhavenNy.gov/StormDamage.

Sheriff Opens Resource Center Aimed at Helping Discharged Inmates

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Providing former Suffolk County inmates with the tools they need to be productive members of society was the inspiration for the creation of a new facility in Yaphank. At a July 30 press event, sheriff officials said the facility will assist with jobs search, housing and other needs as they head back into the community. The Sheriff’s Transition and Reentry Team Resource Center is poised to offer a range of “practical transitional services” for inmates leaving the county jail including employment assistance, connections to housing, treatment and mental health care, among other things. It is staffed by correction officers and human service volunteers from the nonprofit community. The START Center had a soft launch in February, stayed open during the height of the pandemic and currently serves more than 100 clients. A ribbon-cutting ceremony, previously planned for early April had to be postponed. Suffolk Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D), District Attorney Tim Sini (D) and other county officials were on hand for the event. Toulon said creating the facility had been a dream of his. At the event he spoke about his experiences working in law enforcement for more than 30 years and a moment he shared with his father. “When I was a young child, I asked my father, a warden on Rikers Island, what he did for a living. He said, ‘We rehabilitate people,’” Toulon said. When inmates are discharged and come into the center, they will be interviewed by one of the resource workers where they identify his or her needs. For example, if an inmate has an addiction problem, the center will connect them with the appropriate nonprofits. “Whether it be housing, employment, education, SNAP benefits or transportation,

we try to start the process as soon as possible,” Deputy Vincenzo Barone said. He added that all inmates at the Yaphank Correctional Facility know about the program, with the center being a short walk from the jail there. Those being discharged from Riverhead will be picked up and brought to the START Center, where they will begin the intake process. Joel Anderson, of Mastic Beach, who was released from jail in April, spoke at the press event about how the resource center has helped him get his life back on track. “I’ve been in and out of prison all my life,” he said. “If I wasn’t a part of this process, being benefited by the program and services I wouldn’t be here to speak today. I’m standing here today because of the men and women who run this program. … I’m glad I made that call.” Anderson said he continues to better himself every day. “Rehabilitation is a process and it happens on a daily basis,” he said. “Now I have people I can reach out to — it’s not always peaches and cream. That wisdom, even if it is a little drop, makes all the difference in the world.”

Editorial No Plan Is Perfect

Schools have been releasing their reopening plans — ranging from students attending full time to hybrid models — and many parents and teachers are buzzing with concerns. We’re disappointed that some of our local districts did not reveal their reopening plans until the state deadline of July 31. We understand the massive undertaking it was to craft these plans and the number of people on committees involved to see it through, but many districts’ reopening data is long and convoluted. More effort can be made to present this reopening data in a digestible way. It’s no surprise that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has not yet created a blanket school reopening plan across the state. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for our school districts during a pandemic. Each one varies in size and number of students, teachers and space available. All this, of course, with an ax hanging over schools heads with state aid potentially being cut later this year. The same is true for within a school district. Each student’s family is different. There are those who legitimately fear catching the coronavirus to the degree that it has kept them in lockdown even after some restrictions have been lifted. And while some have the luxury of having at least one parent being able to stay home if the local district offers a hybrid model, other families will be unable to provide the supervision their child needs. Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended that schools across the country reopen as long as they put safety first. Cuomo, after reviewing the districts’ reopening plans, will be making a final decision later this week. The governor has said that as long as infection rate averages over a two-week period stay below 5 percent, schools will be able to reopen to some capacity. Suffolk County currently hovers at around 1 percent. There is no guarantee that figure won’t increase in the future, especially considering the current case with states like California, which was heading in the same promising direction as New York until cases spiked to a current total of more than 525,000. Here is the thing we have to understand, none of us will be happy. Nobody will get everything they want from current plans. In a normal year, every kid would be learning in school, desks spaced only inches from each other and halls crowded with kids. A parent who relies on schools to watch their children while a parent or guardian is at work may not be able to afford a different kind of day care. Families that rely on school reduced cost or free lunches won’t have that option without a kid in school. Hybrid models only help with a portion of those issues, but it’s better than nothing. Some parents ask why the district can’t provide learning options for students who stay home 24/7 while the rest go into their full-time or hybrid schedules. Districts are already hurting financially due to the pandemic. Many are taking from their fund balances just to afford the additional staff and resources needed to have some students in the classroom. Asking them to put further resources into the extra time it takes to help students at home may not be feasible for so many districts. We are now in a situation where each family needs to look at their school’s plan and then adjust it to their reality. Districts should do all they can to keep residents in the loop on a consistent basis. Parents, for their part, must acknowledge no plan will be perfect. It will take both parties and compromise to get the best outcome for students while keeping the virus under control.

Letters to the Editor

Proud to Partner on Historic Legislation For far too long, our local communities on Long Island have faced unprecedented environmental threats from criminals making huge profits by illegally dumping toxic materials in our vast and vulnerable open spaces. These dangerous offenders have taken advantage of weak laws and dispose hazardous materials near our homes, parks, playgrounds and waterways and cause extreme harm to our most vulnerable neighborhoods, our sole-source aquifer and our suburban quality of life. We can no longer afford to stand by and allow these criminals to evade responsibility. That’s why I was so proud to partner with state Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) and Assemblymembers Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and Phil

Ramos (D-Central Islip), champions of Long Island’s environment, on historic legislation to strengthen New York State law and impose the stiffest possible penalties on dumping violations. This bill, which unanimously passed the New York State Assembly last week, empowers our law enforcement to crack down on these crooks with meaningful penalties and ensures that dumping is no longer just a part of doing business. The legislation stems from a series of investigations conducted by state and local law enforcement agencies that resulted in the issuance of almost 200 tickets for illegal dumping of contaminated construction demolition debris and other safety violations. In 2018, the Suffolk County District

Attorney uncovered a massive illegal dumping scheme on Long Island. The investigation, known as “Operation Pay Dirt,” resulted in a 130-count indictment against 30 individuals and nine corporations for illegally disposing solid waste at 24 locations. A very special thank you to Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D), the outstanding men and women of “Operation Pay Dirt” and the Suffolk County Police Department for their efforts in support of this initiative. I proudly stand with them and remain strongly committed to protecting our precious environment and the water we drink, now and for generations to come. Steve Stern(D) New York State Assembly 10th District

The writer of the letter (“Mail-in Voting Should Be a No-Go” The Times of Huntington, July 23) is absolutely wrong in her contention. According to the respected fact-checker, Snopes, “analysis by elections experts shows that fraud is slightly more common with mail-in voting than in-person voting at polling places. All types of voter fraud in U.S. elections is minuscule in comparison to the number of ballots cast, according to elections experts.”

Further, in-person voting has been made difficult by purposely reducing the number of polling places especially in areas where many black and brown people live, causing waits of up to seven hours to vote. In addition, it has become difficult to adequately staff polling places because they are staffed mostly by retired people who are at high risk for COVID-19. Voter ID laws have been used to suppress voting. In New York, both applications and absentee ballots

simply require signatures just as inperson voting does. Many Republicans are trying to make voting very difficult for those they think will vote Democratic. In my view Mr. Donald Trump (R) is repeating the false claim that vote by mail leads to fraud so that if he loses the election as currently predicted, he can claim voter fraud. Don’t buy in to that falsehood. Adam D. Fisher Port Jefferson Station

A Suggested Teen to Tot Education Plan

e will undoubtedly run into times in the next few weeks and months when our kids can’t stay in school. Yes, sure, I understand how and why people want their children in school. Most of the time, they can and will learn more in a conventional classroom setting than they will sitting in their beds in a collared shirt with pajama bottoms, texting friends all over the country D. None with their phones of the above while they pretend BY DANIEL DUNAIEF to be taking notes. I also understand the need for schools to provide a structured schedule for each day, offering parents a chance to ﬁnish assignments for their jobs, pay bills without a well-intentioned child turning the checks into a coloring pad, or have

a few moments when they don’t need to clean up the mess on another ﬂoor. And yet, we aren’t that much further along than we were in March, when schools closed for the first time, in protecting the health of teachers, students, and everyone else who enters or lives with someone in an academic setting. Sure, the hospitals may have better treatments than they did when they didn’t know about the likely progression of the disease, but there is no cure and most of us don’t have any immunity. So, given that we’re not likely to do much traveling and our kids are likely to spend some time at home, we can and should develop Plans B, C and D. Plan B could be a fallback into the kinds of learning our children did in March, when school administrators and teachers tried to educate our children with modiﬁed, distancebased lesson plans. Certainly, schools have spent considerable time preparing for either a blended version of in-class and remote learning or an all-remote experience.

Those lessons and the material covered will hopefully be thorough enough to match what they would have learned in the customary inperson setting. Plan C, however, may involve some supplemental educating and, perhaps, education-driven day care, depending on the age of our children. Where can we ﬁnd that? In every community, children of all ages may be home. For older teenagers, this may be an opportunity to provide guidance to younger counterparts whom they might drive by on their way to school, soccer practice or a group gathering. Parents of younger children may want to connect with parents of high school children, either directly or through their schools. After all, these high school students are much closer to learning modern math than parents who may be decades from the same material that was taught in a different way in an earlier era. Through a voluntary and distance-based teens-to-tots tutoring, younger students can ﬁnd mentors, tutors and friends in

teenagers who can, perhaps earlier than they anticipated, give back to the communities that supported them. With more time on their hands because so many extracurriculars might be canceled, these teenagers can become an important resource in an educational system, supplementing what the younger students learn in class. A neighbor recently told me about a family exchange he and his brother managed. His 20-something son became frustrated living and working at home, while his brother’s 20-something daughter shared the same sentiment. He sent his son to live with his brother, while he hosted his niece. The change of scenery has proven healthy for everyone, giving them all a chance to exhale amid the uncertainty. Disruptions over the next several months to a year seem inevitable. If we come up with creative ways to plan for them, we might contribute to our communities and enjoy the time while we wait for the viral all-clear signal.
