A year after its 90th anniversary, the Nathan Hale Garden Club was able to donate a Blue Star Marker to a local American legion post. Last year the club approached the Town of Huntington board. The club members expressed their wishes to donate a Blue Star Marker to honor town veterans. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, a ceremony could not be held. The Blue Star Program honors all men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. On Sept. 24, club members, along with Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R), town officials, Veterans Advisory Board members and local veterans’ organizations were on hand to unveil the memorial plaque at the Huntington American Legion Post #360 in Halesite. According to Lupinacci, the Veterans Advisory Board and Post Commander Andrew Brady recommended the plaque be installed on the front lawn of the Halesite American Legion.

Huntington honors late civil rights activist Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R), Huntington officials and the town’s African American Historic Designation Council joined the NAACP Huntington Branch, Evergreen Missionary Baptist Church, Source the Station and three generations of the late Paul H. Johnson, Sr.’s family for a dedication ceremony renaming Gateway Plaza in the civil rights activist’s honor Sept. 25. The event also included the unveiling of an historical marker at the site of the former Odd Fellows Hall at 1000 New York Ave. Johnson, pictured above center, was a lifelong resident and active community leader According to a press release from the town, he was a Huntington High School Class of 1948 track star and lifelong member and leader of the Evergreen Missionary Baptist Church. A U.S. Army veteran and a paratrooper in the Korean War, Johnson was a charter member of the Setauket American Legion Irving Hart Post #1766. He was a former first vice president of the NAACP Huntington Branch and a lifetime member of NAACP. Johnson was instrumental in increasing participation in local civics by Huntington’s African American residents. He played a pivotal role in electing the town’s first African American Town Councilmember. Odd Fellows Hall, where Gateway Plaza stands today, was significant to Huntington’s Black history, as it served as a local meeting place central to social activities for Huntington’s African American community from 1922-1945, according to the town press release. Gateway Plaza is where Johnson’s

Boy Scout Unit #106 met in Odd Fellows Hall, more recently known as Brothers Barber Shop, before it was demolished in 2017 to make way for the Gateway project. At one point, the building was owned by Charles H. Ballton, the son of the famous former slave and Union soldier-turnedHuntington success story, “Greenlawn Pickle King” Samuel Ballton, whom the Town honored earlier this year. The historical marker for Odd Fellows Hall was paid for by a Huntington Station Revitalization CBA Community Grant at the request of the Town’s African American Historic Designation Council.

Zeldin, elected officials rally against hospital vaccine mandates

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-NY1) rallied with health care workers to boycott Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) vaccination deadline, Sept. 27. Zeldin, who is campaigning for governor, joined other elected officials outside the state building in Hauppauge Monday just hours before health care workers were required to get the COVID-19 vaccine by midnight or risk losing their jobs. On Monday night, Hochul signed an executive order to significantly expand the eligible workforce and allow additional health care workers to administer COVID-19 testing and vaccinations. According to the mandate, if health care workers do not receive at least one dose of one of the COVID-19 vaccines by the end of day Monday — without a medical exemption or having previously filed for a religious exemption — they will forfeit their jobs.

The congressman has been vocal over the mandates, locally and nationally. “Our health care workers were nothing short of heroic the past 18 months,” Zeldin said. “We shouldn’t be firing these essential workers. We should be thanking them for all they’ve done for our communities.” Zeldin was calling on Hochul to work with medical facilities and the state’s health care workers to “implement a more reasonable policy that does not violate personal freedoms, fire health care workers who helped us through the pandemic’s worst days, and cause chaos and staffing shortages at hospitals and nursing homes.” Hochul stated this week that to fill the vacancies in hospitals, she plans to bring in the National Guard and other out-of-state health care workers to replace those who refuse to get vaccinated. “You’re either vaccinated and can keep your job, or you’re out on the street,” said Zeldin, who is vaccinated. State Sen. Mario Mattera (R-St. James) said

he was angered when health care employees were given limited ability to negotiate the vaccine mandate through their unions. “This isn’t a state of emergency, like a hurricane,” he said. “This is a state of emergency that people get fired, and not going to have unemployment insurance. I am a union leader. This is a disgrace to all Americans.” According to the state Department of Labor, unvaccinated workers who are terminated from their jobs will not be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits. A new Republican-led bill introduced in Albany would restore those jobless benefits. On Tuesday, the state released data noting the percentage of hospital staff receiving at least one dose was 92% (as of Monday evening) based on preliminary self-reported data. The percentage of fully vaccinated was 85% as of Monday evening, up from 84% on Sept. 22 and 77% on Aug. 24. “This new information shows that holding firm on the vaccine mandate for health care workers is simply the right thing to do to

protect our vulnerable family members and loved ones from COVID-19,” Hochul said in a ZELDIN CONTINUED ON A8

the arms of those who are fully vaccinated.” Stony Brook University Hospital is providing boosters to employees and to eligible members of the public. Meanwhile, Northwell Health and Huntington Hospital are deliberating how to proceed and will announce a decision soon, according to Dr. Adrian Popp, chair of infection control at Huntington Hospital. While boosters are available for education staff, agriculture and food workers, manufacturing workers, corrections workers, U.S. Postal Service employees, grocery store workers, public transit employees and a host of others, the overall infection rate in Suffolk County has stabilized over the past few weeks.

Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, described the downward trend in the seven-day average as “great news,” but added that such an infection rate is “not close to where we need to be to say we have turned a corner.” The current infected population includes children, as “more kids are getting infected,” she said, with children currently representing 25.7 percent of all new COVID cases nationwide. With the FDA and CDC considering approving the emergency use authorization that provides one-third of the dosage of the adult shot for children ages 5 to 11, Nachman urged residents to vaccinate their children whenever the shot is available to them. “There is no advantage to picking the right age or dose for a child,” she explained in an email. “If they are 12 now, get that dose. If they are 11 and 8 months [and the CDC approves the vaccine for younger children], don’t wait until they are 12 to get a different dose. Get the dose now that is available for that age.” When younger children are eligible for the lower amount of the vaccine, Dhuper also urged them to get that lower dose, which he feels “offers a good level of protection for the foreseeable future.” Nachman said she sees the issue of weight or age bands regularly in pediatrics. “The take-home message is to not play any games and treat the child at the age or weight that they are now and not wait for them to be older or heavier,” she suggested. As for the next month, Dhuper cautioned that

the county may show another peak, particularly with the increase of indoor activities where the spread of the more transmissible Delta variant is more likely. At this point, concerns about the Mu variant, which originated in South America and was much more prevalent in the United States and in Suffolk County in June, has decreased. “We were seeing 5% of the cases in New York state were Mu variants and the remaining were Delta,” Dhuper said. Popp estimated that the Mu variant constitutes between 0.1% and 0.3% of cases. The World Health Organization has urged wealthier nations like the United States not to administer boosters to their populations widely before the rest of the world has an opportunity to vaccinate their residents. Dhuper said the United States has contributed 500 million doses to the rest of the world this year and plans to donate about 1.1 billion doses to the rest of the world in 2022. “I hope that other upper and middle income nations can do the same, so we can get [the shots] in the arms of those who need them,” he said. Popp urged people to recognize that COVID is a global disease. “We in the U.S. will not be safe until the epidemic is cleared in other parts of the world as well,” he explained in an email. “I believe it is in our national interest to help other countries fight the COVID epidemic.” Popp said the United States has plenty of vaccine, with enough for boosters and to vaccinate those who haven’t gotten a shot.

County COVID-19 infections dip, doctors discuss boosters BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Dr. Sunil Dhuper’s actions speak as loudly as his words. The chief medical officer at Port Jefferson’s St. Charles Hospital is planning to get a booster for the COVID-19 vaccine this Thursday, after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authorized Friday, Sept. 24, the additional shot for a range of adults, including those in jobs that put them at an increased risk of exposure and transmission, such as frontline health care workers. Earlier, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced Sept. 22 that “a single booster dose” was allowed “for certain populations” under the emergency use authorization, although the EUA “applies only to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.” Dhuper received his first vaccination in January and would like to raise his immunity. “I am very eager to get the booster dose,” he said in an interview. “I reviewed scientific data from all over the world — from the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom — and I had reflected that, after six months after the second dose, it’s time to get a third dose.” While St. Charles and other hospitals haven’t required a booster, Dhuper believes that state and national guidance will likely recommend it before too long. “Over time, I do anticipate people may begin to get severe infections or get hospitalized” if they haven’t enhanced their immunity with a booster, he said. “It would be prudent to get the booster dose in

Decline in infections

As of Sept. 25, the seven-day average rate of positive tests in the county fell below 4% for the first time since Aug. 15, dropping to 3.9%, according to data from the New York State Department of Health. “We think the numbers might have plateaued,” Dhuper said. That decline coincides with the increasing number of people who are vaccinated. In Suffolk as at Sept. 29, 1,043,478 people (70.7%) have received at least one dose and 950,058 (64.3%) are fully vaccinated, according to Covid Act Now. Anybody who is at least 12 years old is eligible to be vaccinated. The number of COVID Patients from Huntington Hospital has fallen in the last month, dropping to 20 from about 30, according to Popp. Five patients are in the intensive care unit at the hospital with COVID.

Northport sweeps again BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Northport boys volleyball team showed why they sit atop the Division I leaderboard when they swept Smithtown East in three sets — 25-19, 25-22 and 25-18 — at home Sept 28. Although the score was close in the second set, Northport has not allowed their opponents to play beyond three sets this season. The win lifts the Tigers to 6-0 of their 15game season, while the loss drops the Bulls to 3-3. Northport’s Zach Zdrojeski notched 18

kills in the contest, and teammate Jake Zarko killed 13. Both teams are back in action Sept 30, where Northport hosts Smithtown West, and the Bulls have a road game against Commack. Both games start at 4 p.m. Pictured clockwise from above, Northport’s Zack Zdrojeski digs one out for the Tigers; Zdrojeski with a return for the Tigers; Northport’s Will Fitzpatrick sets the ball; Logan Chin puts the ball in play for the Tigers; and Fitzpatrick attempts to block James Ackerman’s spike at net. — Photos by Bill Landon

statement. “I am pleased to see that health care workers are getting vaccinated to keep New Yorkers safe, and I am continuing to monitor developments and ready to take action to alleviate potential staffing shortage situations in our health care systems.” Long Island’s three health care providers have already implemented the mandate and are taking action. Northwell Health, the state’s largest private employer and health care provider — and which includes Port Jefferson’s Mather Hospital and Huntington Hospital — previously notified all unvaccinated team members that they are no longer in compliance with New York State’s mandate to vaccinate all health care workers by the Sept. 27 deadline. “Northwell regrets losing any employee under such circumstances, but as health care professionals and members of the largest health care provider in the state, we understand our unique responsibility to protect the health of our patients and each other,” Northwell said in a statement. “We owe it to our staff, our patients and the communities we serve to be 100% vaccinated against COVID-19.” Catholic Health Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Jason Golbin said in a statement that the provider is “incredibly proud of our staff’s dedication to protecting the health and safety of Long Islanders during the COVID-19 pandemic and are grateful for their heroic efforts

over the last 18 months.” He added, “In keeping with our commitment to ensuring the health and safety of our patients, visitors, medical staff and employees, we are complying with the New York State vaccine mandate for all health care workers.” Golbin said that as of Tuesday, Sept. 28, the vast majority of staff is fully vaccinated with only a few hundred people furloughed from across six hospitals, three nursing facilities, home health care, hospice and other physician practices. Stony Brook University officials added Stony Brook medicine has been preparing for New York State’s mandate that all health care workers get at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by the deadline. As of 8 p.m. on Sept. 28, 94.07% of Stony Brook University Hospital employees have been vaccinated, and this number continues to increase, 134 Stony Brook University Hospital employees are being placed on suspension without pay and will be scheduled to meet with Labor Relations representatives to discuss their circumstances. While awaiting this meeting, they can use vacation or holiday time off. If they continue to elect not to receive the vaccine, they will be terminated in accordance with the NYS DOH order. Less than 1% of the hospital’s total employee population are in a probationary employment period and while they are currently suspended without pay, they are still eligible to be vaccinated before their terminations are processed and could still return to work. Officials said these numbers are fluid and are expecting further declines.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

A sad goodbye This week a Stony Brook Village Center staple closed its doors for the last time after 27 years in business, and residents wonder how it will ever be replaced. At the end of July, the owner of Pentimento Restaurant, Dennis Young, began informing customers that his lease wasn’t being renewed. Frequent visitors to his establishment started a Facebook page and petition on Change.org to save the restaurant and show their support. Many even protested in front of the business and throughout the shopping center. They also rallied in front of Gloria Rocchio’s house, the president of Eagle Realty Holdings and The Ward Melville Heritage Organization. Unfortunately, the owner and the board of Eagle Realty, the landlord, couldn’t come to an agreement after Young forgot to give notice about his intent to renew last year, 365 days before his lease expired as specified in the agreement. The Village Times Herald and the TBR News Media website featured five articles within the past two months on the closing and protests, and some of the stories also appeared in The Times of Smithtown. Talking to all parties involved, hearing the different sides of the issue, it was apparent there was more to the impasse than forgetting to renew a lease. A couple of matters couldn’t even be discussed because lease negotiations between private businesses are private matters. We are saddened that something couldn’t be worked out. Especially since Young was hoping to retire in the near future and extending the lease and being able to sell the business to someone else would have meant he could have walked away with something more in his pockets. A couple of weeks ago we wrote about the closing of Book Revue in Huntington village. Just like the iconic bookstore drew people to Huntington with its eclectic selection of books and celebrity author signings, the restaurant has done the same in the Three Village community by serving up its delicious meals and more. As one reader wrote in a letter to the editor last week, in the last 27 years the restaurant served as the place “where we have celebrated birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and religious milestones. It’s where we have had our first dates and our first jobs.” Regular visitors to Stony Brook Village Center would find that on the nights the restaurant was closed, the parking lot in the section of the shopping center it is located on was practically empty. When it was open, it could be difficult to find a spot. When people come to eat in a restaurant, especially if they have to wait for a table, they’ll visit nearby stores. And, Pentimento has been a big attraction for both locals and residents from surrounding towns. As we mentioned in our editorial about Book Revue, sometimes the closing of a popular establishment can have a domino effect. We hope this won’t be the case with the village center. We’re not quite sure what will replace Pentimento, but it will take a long time for residents to create new memories in whatever business goes into the empty space. We thank Young, restaurant manager Lisa Cusumano and the staff for their service to the community, and we wish them all the happiness in the world.

of them. My impetus to respond to his August recap was when I heard on Sept. 7 that nearly 252,000 children had been hospitalized in the previous week with COVID-19. Seems like an awfully high number for a group of people who don’t get COVID-19. In Zeldin’s comments on his diagnosis, he praises and thanks the medical staff that took such excellent care of him. By his denying the seriousness of COVID-19 among children and others, he is stabbing that same medical staff in the back. The medical community is suffering physically and emotionally from this pandemic. But what do you care, Lee Zeldin, you got your excellent health care in a speedy fashion with probably the best possible outcome. Everyone else be damned! Suzanne Martin Setauket

Zeldin’s denials stab medical staff in back A leader for all — I have a few thoughts after reading Eugene Cook for the editorial and letters to the editor supervisor section of your paper in the Sept. 23 edition. I noticed a theme running through that section regarding U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] of thankful that he’s doing well and hopeful that he will use his experience to advance good health care in this country. That’s something he has previously not been amenable to promote before his recent health crisis. Whereas I, too, am happy to hear he’s doing well, I don’t have any faith in his promoting better health care or voting for better health care for the less fortunate. As Soshana Hershkowitz pointed out in her letter, he has “excellent health care paid for by our tax dollars.” I receive Zeldin’s emailed monthly recap and in his August recap he demanded that our children be unmasked in the classroom and that the science shows children do not get COVID-19, and if they do it is not severe. Tell that to the parents of children who have died from COVID-19, and there are plenty

The Town of Huntington has a big choice to make this upcoming November. What are the choices? To restore the honor and integrity of the supervisor’s office or retain the stains that dirty it today. I’m proud to say that I already have made up my mind. The office of supervisor must be restored and the only candidate to do it is Eugene Cook. I have known him personally for the last six years, and let me say he is a man of great integrity, passion and dedication. Take it from me, those three important characteristics are what the supervisor’s office deserves, and with him “We the People of Huntington” will get just that. Another amazing quality is his strong commitment to the residents of Huntington. His independent drive is what sets him apart from the rest. He is not beholden to any major political party boss, as his Republican opponent

is, and he answers only to the people. We need a town supervisor who’s not caught up in petty partisan politics. Now is the time to make it clear he is a candidate for the people, even if one party boss will try to spin him as “a Democratic operative”; and being accused of attempting to “steal the election” from the Republican nominee. Make no mistake, those are bold-faced lies, and it is time we condemn the destructive rhetoric that clouds our politics. The people of this town, that is Eugene Cook’s directive — Democratic or Republican matters little. Huntington as a collective whole is what matters to him. So, with that, my fellow Huntingtonians, let us rise to the occasion and vote on Tuesday, Nov. 2, for true independent leadership that our town deserves. Eugene Cook is the one for us, the people of Huntington. Vote to restore the honor and integrity of the supervisor’s office with him — an openminded, dedicated person of integrity. Jake Iaccino Huntington Station

Opinion The imperfect process of selecting singers, sushi and sediment

f you’ve ever watched the show “The Voice,” which teenage sensation Carter Rubin from Shoreham won last year, you know the format involves celebrity judges making blind choices during a prolonged audition process. With their backs to the performers, the judges listen to the contestants sing several bars of familiar songs, sometimes swaying, sometimes mouthing the words, until they D. None hear something in the voices that clicks or of the above that they think they BY DANIEL DUNAIEF can improve to lead these aspiring artists to the promised land of a music contract, fame and fortune.

The process is imperfect, as are most decisions we make. The judges don’t get to rate everyone, listening to the entire array of singers before rank ordering or assembling their team. As they go, they add aspiring musicians to their teams, competing against the other judges to encourage performers to work with them. This process is akin to so many others in so many contexts. Many years ago, I attended a spectacular and extravagant holiday party for Bloomberg News at the Museum of Natural History. The organization had rented the entire museum during after hours. Fortunately, I brought my then-girlfriend, who is now my wife, to that event, which has given us a party to remember over two decades later. Anyway, each room had a performer and a collection of tables with mouth-watering food. Hungry and maneuvering slowly through each room, we probably ate more than we

should have in the first few rooms, until we understood the spectacular assortment of foods, culminating with sushi under the blue whale in the main room. Having eaten more than I should prior to reaching the whale, I could only sample a few pieces of sushi before shutting down the food consumption. Well, that was true until we waited for the one person in the coatroom who was matching tickets to coats. At that point, servers brought trays of dark and white chocolatecovered strawberries up and down the line. The point, however, is that the imperfect choices my wife and I made earlier in the evening affected how much we could eat as the night wore on. In the last few months, I spoke with several researchers in Stony Brook University’s Department of Geosciences, including Joel Hurowitz and Scott McLennan. They are working with a rover on Mars that is choosing rocks in the Jezero crater, putting together a

collection of samples that will, one day, return with a round trip mission to the Red Planet. They can’t sample every rock that might reveal something about Mars, indicating whether life could have existed on the planet billions of years ago. The decision to choose something in the present, like the rock in front of the rover on Mars, the current singer who is living out his or her dream on “The Voice,” or the morsel of food in a buffet that stretches throughout a museum, can limit the ones those same people have in the future. Hopefully, along the way, we learn from the decisions we’ve made, the ones that work out and the ones that don’t, that enable us to improve our ability to make informed choices. And, even if whatever we chose may not be exactly what we thought it was, we, like the judges on “The Voice,” might be able to mold the raw materials of our lives into something even better than we’d initially imagined.

Thousands of immigrants and evacuees can fill immediate needs

ere is a possible answer to a couple of current questions. How to deal with the thousands of Afghans we have brought to our country ahead of the Taliban takeover and also those refugees from Central and South America who have massed at our border? That is one question. Another is how to respond to the ever-widening gap between the rising need for home health care workers and hospital aides, and the aging of the current United States population who will need such services? And there are other such industries that urgently need workers, where there are not enough Americans to fill them. Some of the immigrants may be well-educated or have Between needed skills. Those you and me can probably be settled BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF readily into American locations after they have been vetted and vaccinated. For those without obvious skills, the

government will need to offer training, including English classes. The newcomers could be given a choice of what work they would want to do. Some may be or would like to be farmers, and we certainly need more workers in agriculture. Some may already be carpenters or landscapers or roofers or mechanics. If they can drive, we might be able to prepare them to drive trucks or buses, jobs that are going begging today. Perhaps they could help moving companies, which are understaffed and leaving customers stranded in their new homes waiting for their furniture to arrive. Some could help veterinarians, who are hugely overworked now by the many new pet owners who wanted companionship during the pandemic and acquired dogs, cats and other domestic creatures. Child care is a field that needs more workers. Mental health practitioners, overwhelmed by those experiencing anxiety, depression and stress could certainly use non-managerial help. So could both be teaching and non-teaching educational services, and sawmills turning out lumber for new construction and renovation, and textile mills trying to meet the sudden demand for back-to-school and back-to-work clothing places to welcome help.

desperate shortage of nurses in our country, both PNs and RNs. Hospitals, now newly reduced in their staffing because of the vaccine mandates, probably need help with basic services. All of these positions, of course, would need varying degrees of training, and that in turn would offer new teaching jobs to the currently unemployed. Such programs would be no small task to organize, but it was doable during the Great Depression almost a century ago, and we can surely again put people to work where they are needed. Some of the jobs would be easier to prepare for than others. All could improve our economy, especially in areas with stagnant growth, and perhaps meet urgent needs. I wonder if the federal government is thinking strategically when they place thousands of refugees in select communities. Currently, some 37,000 Afghans are at military installations in 10 states while other evacuees remain at overseas bases waiting to be processed, according to Nayla Rush, writing for the Center for Immigration Studies on Sept. 23. In total, the Biden administration has reported that over 100,000 Afghans were evacuated. The top ten states receiving the newcomers,

according to the Center, are California (5255), Texas (4481), Oklahoma (1800), Washington (1679), Arizona (1610), Maryland (1348), Michigan (1280), Missouri (1200), North Carolina (1169) and Virginia (1166). To coordinate this mammoth resettlement, President Joe Biden (D) appointed former Delaware Governor Jack Markell. He is also the former chairman of the National Governors Association and has held top positions in the private sector. “Nine religious or community-based organizations have contracts with the Department of State to resettle refugees inside the United States,” according to the Center, and they have final say on the distribution. These agencies, in turn, maintain nationwide networks of local affiliates to provide the necessary services. State and local officials are not involved and have no control over the program. Refugees are not resettled in states that do not have any local affiliates, which explains why some areas are skipped. Our country has a need of workers. Potential workers are entering the United States in significant numbers. Together that creates opportunity. We need some thoughtful and skilled management here.
