Huntington Manor Fire District Gets $90K from State for Security Cameras

After 20 years of using security cameras on its three buildings, the Huntington Manor Fire District received $90,000 from New York State to help pay for the cost of upgrading the surveillance system.

Adept Technology has started installing the new cameras, which will provide security for the men and women in the fire station. The cameras will also provide the Suffolk County Police Department with additional resources.

“This critical funding will improve public safety within the Huntington Station community and aid local law enforcement in their mission of deterring crime and responding to criminal behavior,” said State Sen. James Gaughran (D-Northport) in a statement. “I am proud to secure this $90,000 for the Huntington Manor Fire District.”

Chris Fusaro, the chairman of the board of Huntington Manor Fire District, has provided security footage from the fire station to the Suffolk County Police Department for events outside the fire stations.

New indoor cameras will also enable the department to monitor vendors or contractors working at the station without asking members of the crew to provide oversight.

Fusaro said the fire station had a few cameras malfunction. Instead of repairing analog cameras that provided grainier images, the department looked into replacing the system with digital cameras.

The state grant will cover the cost of over half the new system, Fusaro said, which will allow the fire station to save money for other repairs, while also providing a budget for some of the equipment needed amid the COVID-19 pandemic, including masks and hand sanitizers.

Fusaro said he wanted to purchase a system that didn’t have any proprietary parts.

The fire station will also be upgrading the roofing on the substation on New York Avenue, although that job is a significantly smaller expense.

Fusaro said the department hasn’t stopped doing its job during the pandemic. The fire crews have minimized the number of people entering a home in some circumstances, to reduce the risk to the homeowner and the men and women at the fire station.

As for viral figures, the department has had three members who have tested positive for COVID-19. Those staff members self quarantined and received a negative test and an all-clear from a physician before returning to work.

While October is fire prevention month, the fire station won’t do its customary open house during the pandemic.

“We can’t take the chance for the public and for our own safety,” said Fusaro, who has been a fireman for close to 46 years.

Fusaro said the community has been supportive and has dropped off food and notes of support over the years.

“That has always been great and makes membership feel good,” Fusaro said.

County

With Suffolk on Edge of Fiscal Crisis, Bus Routes Could Be Nixed

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County Executive Steve Bellone (D) has continued his calls for additional federal funds, now saying bus routes and bus driver positions could be eliminated in the planned county budget to be released within the next week.

Bellone said Friday, Sept. 25, also celebrated as Car Free Day, that cutting 19 bus routes and 25% of paratransit bus availability would result in about $18 million in savings for the county’s 2021 budget. The nonparatransit routes, officials said, are equivalent to 2,500 riders a day, according to the pre-pandemic ridership levels.

Cuts would impact another 200 daily riders who use Suffolk County Accessible Transportation Services, and could also potentially eliminate hundreds of worker positions.

The routes themselves are spread out throughout the county, and though officials said they would be buses with overall less ridership, they represent some of the only buses that move through certain areas. The S62, which runs across the North Shore from Riverhead to Hauppauge and is the only bus for places like Shoreham, Rocky Point and Miller Place, will be axed. The S54, which connects Patchogue railroad station to the Walt Whitman Mall is also in the crosshairs. Together, those routes represent 887 daily riders, according to the county.

The S76, which connects Stony Brook and Port Jefferson villages and has an estimated 36 daily riders, may also get cut. The S56, which runs in Smithtown from Commack to Lake Grove with around 89 daily riders, could be eliminated.

This is all part of an anticipated 2021 county budget that Bellone said will include cuts across the board.

“Washington has failed to act,” he said.

“We need Washington to do its job, to do what it’s always done in times of crisis when local communities are hit by unprecedented natural disasters that are beyond the scope and capability of local government can handle.”

The cuts to personnel could be especially devastating, he said, considering many were the “essential workers” who did their jobs even during the worst of the pandemic on Long Island.

Many hospital and other frontline workers take the bus to work as well.

These planned cuts are despite receiving close to $26.6 million earlier this year in federal aid specifically for transportation services.

Bellone said the money has already been spent or allocated for the current year.

The total operating cost of Suffolk County Transit is over $85 million, with more than $43 million being funded by the county, around $29 million from New York State, more than $4.4 million from the federal government, and

$8.2 million in fares. The county estimates it will lose $6.1 million in farebox revenue in 2020, alongside a 20% or $6 million cut in state funding. Bellone’s office reported that the $26 million in federal funds allowed the county to operate the buses as normal during the height of the pandemic.

John Corrado, president of Suffolk Transportation Service, a private company which operates all the buses used by Suffolk County, said it lost about 40% of ridership during the pandemic, and though numbers are coming back there is no way it can stave off the massive loss in farebox revenue.

In a repeat of last week’s press conference where Bellone announced major cuts to Suffolk County police, Republicans in the county Legislature held a retaliatory press conference of their own. Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga), a member of the legislature’s Public Works, Transportation and Energy Committee, claimed the county is only down $4 million in bus fees.

The GOP members of the Legislature have constantly attacked Bellone on its financial situation, with officials often citing a 2019 report from the state comptroller, Tom DiNapoli (D), calling Suffolk the most fiscally stressed municipality in the state, with Nassau County.

“To blame the federal government is a cop out,” Trotta said.

Though that aid that Suffolk received this year must be put toward current budget impacts due to the pandemic, Trotta said the numbers Bellone cited were off, and that the $26 million federal funds could be used now, and all the savings could be rolled over into next year.

While it’s nearly impossible to tell until the final 2021 budget is released, Republicans have claimed both these and other cuts to major services are unnecessary considering the CARES Act funding the county has already received to the tune of $257 million, not counting the additional public transit funds, which should be enough to cover COVID-related expenses.

Republicans said that new money is being used to pay for past financial mismanagement by the county executive.

When asked what else could be cut instead of these services, Republican legislators said they would need to see the full budget before making that determination.

Though some legislators admitted there is need for further federal aid, Legislator Anthony Piccirillo (R-Holtsville) suggested the federal

government put a watchdog on the county executive to make sure the funds are spent correctly.

In response, Bellone said since the county pays more than $40 million for the bus system, that while the federal funds help, it does not cover what will be a massive $800 million deficit for this year going into next year.

The planned cuts to public transportation would also impact the Suffolk County Accessible Transportation Services buses, which residents with disabilities rely upon for service in doing things as simple as going to physical therapy or shopping for food. The service allows residents to schedule being picked up and dropped off.

Frank Krotschinsky, the director of the Office for People with Disabilities under the county executive, said “the county has gone above and beyond” for the offerings it has for disabled transport.

Krotschinsky himself uses a wheelchair and has been since he was a young man growing up in New York City. He added the questions his office most commonly receives are from people asking about transportation.

“The day these cuts are made, people with disabilities will be disproportionately affected,” he said. “We need the federal government to step up to its role.”

The same day as the press conference, Bellone hosted a call with the county executives of Onondaga and Orange upstate counties, both of whom are Republican, in emphasizing the bipartisan need for additional relief from

“As we put forward this budget, there is not going to be a part of this budget that involves discretionary spending that will not be impacted by Washington’s failure to act here,” Bellone said.

Recovering Our Routes Trump Is Sowing Seeds of Chaos, Civil Strife

We get it. The only time most of us think about Suffolk County buses is when we’re stuck behind them on the oftcongested Long Island roads.

But despite how many Long Islanders complain about the traffic, those who use Suffolk County buses every week have it that much worse, as the county has announced the potential loss of 19 bus routes all across the Island affecting about 2,500 riders. A loss of routes impacts the most vulnerable people, namely the poor, elderly or handicapped folks.

This is a real crisis, and it does not seem like everyone is on the same page about just what that means. The S62 bus is the only thing that can take somebody east and west in the Rocky Point area without having to call for an expensive cab. The north/south line of the S54, which many retail and service industry workers use to get to their jobs, is on the chopping block as well.

Some lines have very few daily riders, but even if one of those people won’t be able to get to their job, to the supermarket or even to visit friends and family, it will be a loss for the greater community.

This comes a week after county officials said they will need to cut two whole Suffolk County police classes, which means 200 new recruits not being put out on the streets.

County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D) now weekly press conferences portending doom if the federal government doesn’t come through with funds for state and local municipalities are a kind of theater, yes, but they are also perhaps the only way for the county executive to make his point beyond sitting in the president’s lap and telling “Santa Trump” all the things he wants for Christmas, before the county hits the point where a budget goes through, and so do the cuts.

And that makes some local elective’s response to Bellone’s talk that much more exasperating. Republicans in the county Legislature contend the current financial woes are all the executive’s doing, and that since he already received over $280 million in federal aid, we should not be hitting up the federal government for more. That would be fine, if Suffolk wasn’t going to see at least an $800 million deficit going into next year Beyond judging just how badly the current executive has handled Suffolk’s finances, the argument falls flat when every municipality from Montauk to Orange County, every village, town and county have all said they need federal funds as well. The congressional delegation, including both Democrats and Republicans, has at least been outspoken about the need for federal funds, but the fact is the top dogs for both parties have failed to drop the animosity and create an aid package for the municipalities nationwide who need it.

It seems like the executive and minority party in the Legislature are not on the same page — as if they ever really are — but there needs to be one, and only one, message on this issue, not a cacophony of back chatter. As important as the past state of Suffolk County finances was before the pandemic, and still is after the fact, the only way that any of these local municipalities can get to the position where those arguments are valid is if we’re all on a stable financial footing.

Because we believe Bellone when he says there won’t be a single line in the budget that hasn’t been impacted by the pandemic. The loss of police classes and bus routes might be the most physical and politically stimulating examples, but one should shudder to think what other municipal services, not even county but town as well, might be getting axed in their 2021 budgets.

We are thankful that Legislature Republicans have been keeping on top of Suffolk’s financial well-being, beyond partisan politics we know it’s necessary, but now is not the time for disunity, not when the water is slowly rising and is at our necks.

Our voices need to be one, at least in this strange moment of time. We are beating back COVID-19, at least for now. Congress should not be as hard as that was if we stick together.

What’s more important: “winning” or democracy? That’s the question facing every voter this election. And that’s why President Donald Trump [R] must be overwhelmingly defeated.

“We’re not going to lose this except if they cheat.” That’s what Donald Trump said.

Think about that for a minute. What kind of country deems elections valid only if one particular side wins? I think the answer is obvious. Obviously not a democracy.

Throughout his career, Trump’s motto has been “I’m always right, and I always win.” This is a man who won’t acknowledge even the possibility that he could be wrong, could make a mistake, could lose. Who claims for himself a flawlessness usually reserved for God. If the game of baseball was played so that one particular team always won, what kind of game would that be? Even that team’s fans would see the problem with this. That’s bad enough, but when all is said and done baseball is just a game. The future of our country isn’t. We can have the best Constitution in the world, but sadly, if there’s no spirit of fair play, it’s

powerless to guarantee democracy.

Trump refuses to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses because he won’t allow the possibility that he could lose fair and square. He’s busy sowing seeds of chaos and civil strife by claiming that mail-in ballots are “a whole big scam.” That’s a lie. He’s encouraging armed goons to show up at polling stations to intimidate voters opposed to him. He’s organizing teams of lawyers to challenge mail-in ballots on technical grounds, not because there’s anything really wrong with them, but because he doesn’t think they’ll favor him. For him, the purpose of this election is not the persuasion of voters, but the coronation of Donald Trump.

The George Washington of popular legend said “I cannot tell a lie.” Can anyone imagine that for Trump? The real George Washington refused to serve beyond two terms even though he was practically begged to do so. He was worried about the president becoming like a king. Can anyone imagine that for Trump? George Washington warned

about political parties enabling “cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men ... to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government.” Ring a bell?

The Declaration of Independence states that “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” An election which counts only if Trump wins bears no resemblance to honoring the “consent of the governed”.

I hope my fears about this election are wrong. I hope this election provides an honest and fair-minded effort to have every vote counted, whether mail-in, early, or cast on election day. I hope that after election day we see no bullying attempt to prevent all voters’ ballots from being counted. I hope that this election is decided by the voters, not by state legislatures or judges, and particularly not by justices of the Supreme Court.

How important is democracy? That’s for you to decide.

Seeing Things from a Child’s Perspective And the wheels keep turning. The other day, I had the beautiful opportunity of observing a small child of 2 years old playing in the sand in a playground.

The child appeared to be in a beautiful state of contentment and peacefulness that I was mesmerized by the moments. Several minutes later two other children arrived, and I got the sense they did not know one another. They immediately began playing with each other together, so relaxed,

happy, comfortable, with each other, just a beautiful sight to observe. Such a beautiful portrayal of kindness, caring, ease, cooperation among these three children.

Then I started to think about the decline of this beautiful, natural, instinctual behavior of young individuals in general, as we age. We just seem to allow ourselves to become hardened, unkind, uncaring, uncompassionate, untrusting, in general.

What a sad deterioration in humanistic,

beautiful behaviors, from my perspective.

I would like to suggest that we take a look at this, and make a conscious effort to increase our awareness that perhaps each one of us has allowed this to occur to some degree, and make attempts to revert back to kindness, caring, respect, compassion, to times gone by, within ourselves. Just a suggestion.

My Dog Needs to Know What’s on the Other Side of Everything

M

y dog is delightfully imperfect. In fact, as I type this at my home computer, he is staring at me, hoping that I have succumbed to the snack urge and I will either intentionally toss a few morsels his way or that gravity will help him out, causing a carrot to slip off my desk.

Yes, he eats carrots, which isn’t terribly surprising because he also eats cat poop whenever he can get to it. I’m not sure he has taste buds or that he pays attention to them.

D. None I love my imperfect of the above dog and would like to share some of his

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF quirks.

For starters, walking in a straight line is clearly against his religion. As soon as he’s on one part of a sidewalk, he needs to cross in front of me to the other side. He is a canine windshield wiper, swishing back and forth in case there is a scent, a scurrying insect, or a frog hopping nearby that he needs to see or smell.

When he’s not sitting during our walks, because he seems to have the words “walk” and “sit” confused, he turns around every few seconds to see what’s behind us. If he is a reincarnated person, he must have been in the rear guard of a military unit, making sure no one was following him.

When we turn around to go back in the direction he was staring, he then stops to look over his shoulder in the direction we had been walking.

It’s not about what’s out there, but what’s back there that concerns him.

His breath is an absolute mystery. He consumes a bowl of chicken and rice formula twice a day. And yet, somehow, his breath smells like fish. You know how they say you can hear the ocean in a conch shell? Well, you can smell the ocean, and not the good, salty crisp air parts, but the rotting-seaweed-anddead-crabs-on-an-airless, overheated-beach parts, on my dog’s breath.

Then, there are the neighbors. They are so appealing to my dog that he pulls to go see them whenever they are outside. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they drop a treat in front of him each time he appears.

Yes, I know I could train him, but I could also go running more often, go to bed earlier, read better books and make better choices for myself, so I haven’t trained either of us particularly well.

You know that delightful foot thing dogs do when you pet them behind the ear, on their

stomach or on their chests? It’s the one where they shake their leg as you scratch them. Well, he does that once a month, as if he wants to confirm that he actually is a dog, but that he’s a conscientious objector to flailing his feet in the air regularly.

He treats the doorbell as if it were the starting gun at a race. He jumps up from the floor, ready to greet refrigerator repair people or HVAC workers as if they had come to see him, refusing to let them pass without an ear rub.

Food is the ultimate motivator. He may not particularly want to lie down at my feet and have me pet him while shaking his paws, but he does go back and forth with me to the grill.

He always seems to be on the wrong side of our patio door. If he’s outside, he barks to come in.

As soon as he’s inside, he barks to go out.

Maybe he’s not actually a dog, but a metaphor.

Did You Pivot? Please Write and Tell Us How

L

ocal businesses continue to struggle and local employees continue to worry about job security. None of this is new, but perhaps we should stop simply waiting for matters to improve with a rebound in the economy or more stimulus help from Washington and take a more proactive role.

The word is: pivot. Some already have. Here are two examples to share with you.

One is a restaurant in Stony Brook village, the other is action taken by two people in their 20s.

Many restauBetween rants already have you and me moved in collatBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF eral directions.

They have developed take-out orders for curbside pickup, and while that represents only a small fraction of the volume they would normally do, we have

given up on the word “normal.” With diners unable to come inside, restaurateurs have sent meals outside.

Then many took the further step, and made the additional investment to create outside dining areas as the world came to learn that eating outside was a lot safer. They built tents, leaving one side open to qualify as “outside,” so as to serve meals in the open air, and local governments cooperated by allowing tents to mushroom in parking lots.

Residents discovered the pleasure of eating “en plein air,” much as artists have when painting. Now some restaurant owners are hurrying to add heating devices to the tents so that patrons will continue to come and be able to eat in comfort despite cooler weather.

European cafes have long ago mastered this arrangement.

While these are examples of rearrangements around cooking and serving food in order to survive, Pentimento Restaurant has made a true pivot. In addition to patio dining, which they are fortunate to offer behind their intimate restaurant, they have taken out the tables and chairs in one now unused room and turned it into a marketplace instead.

Featured by the owners are fresh produce, attractively displayed, and all manner of unusual high end foods in jars and cans, many from other countries. There are also prepared foods in the freezer to take out and even some delicious ice cream.

Those who dine on the patio are a “captive” audience of potential shoppers as they pass the new offerings on their way out, and they seemed delighted by the selections.

The other example involves my oldest grandson. He is known to

some of you as the filmmaker of the historic “One Life to Give,” telling the story of Nathan Hale, Benjamin Tallmadge and the beginnings of the Revolutionary War Culper Spy Ring that was shown at the Staller Center and is being viewed in school districts.

He had moved to the West Coast to continue his chosen career. After some initial success, but with Hollywood now locked down, he and a friend cast around for something else to occupy their creative energies and to pay the rent. Fanciful stickers caught their attention, and they started out by applying them to work calendars and back packs, taking orders to customize such utilitarian products.

They really hit their stride when they customized 32-ounce clear plastic drinking cups, the kind with covers and straws featuring stickers displaying different themes.

These they then mailed to initial customers.

Putting together their skills, they made a video of themselves creating the stickers and decorating the cups, then showed the video on the internet. A few orders trickled in, then their business took off.

He still intends to return to his dream career, but until then … bottoms up!
