Huntington school district deals with transportation issues, social media threats

Transportation

WHERE NORTHERN & SOUTHERN SEAFOOD MEET 7 DAYS A WEEK ! !

Parents in the Huntington school district were concerned last week that they may have issues getting their children to school. On Sept. 29, Superintendent James Polansky informed families that the district’s transportation provider had canceled many of its bus routes for the Huntington schools and would cancel all service by the end of last week. The reason cited was a shortage of workers. However, on Sept. 30 another notification went out letting parents know that bus service would resume. Families were told that dozens of routes may still have delays for a few days, and the delays could range up to two hours. “During the past two days, we have worked assertively to resolve the prominent issue associated with our contracted transportation service,” Polansky wrote. “I am relieved to advise you that we have now received assurances from Huntington Coach Corporation officials that they will, in fact, honor the terms and conditions associated with all existing contracts with the Huntington Union Free School District. There will be no interruption of services.”

In the Sept. 30 letter, Polansky said the driver shortage was an ongoing issue. Huntington Coach Corporation could not be reached for comment.

Social media threat

On Sunday night, Oct. 3, the district was notified about two disturbing TikTok videos that mentioned J. Taylor Finley Middle School and Huntington High School. Polansky posted a letter to the district’s website notifying the school community that the issue had been addressed “at every level” Oct. 5. “Please understand that details on specific actions taken cannot be discussed due to existing privacy laws,” he said. “While we do not perceive any risk for tomorrow, the Second Precinct has agreed to maintain a presence on and/or around Finley’s campus throughout the day.” The superintendent asked that parents or guardians speak to their children about “social media and presence.” He also mentioned the importance of monitoring. “I remind students to use social media solely for productive purposes; while a digital footprint can be created quickly and easily, its impact can last indefinitely. Furthermore, should a social media platform be used irresponsibly or dangerously at any point, the consequences may be quite swift and severe.” Polansky said support staff is available for students.

Town

Huntington honors 365 World War II veterans Huntington Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R), Town of Huntington officials and the Huntington Veterans Advisory Board were joined by New York State and Suffolk County officials, five World War II veteran honorees, families of the 365 Huntington World War II veterans and local veterans groups for an unveiling of the final two plaques added to the Town’s World War II Memorial, bearing the inscribed names of Huntington World War II veterans on Veterans Plaza at Huntington Town Hall on Sunday, Oct. 3. Five guests of honor, Huntington World War II veteran honorees, attended the ceremony: Robert Corcoran, Nick Haridopolos, Peter O’Donnell, Seymour Perlmutter and Jack Stahl. Families of the Huntington World War II veterans whose names were added to the memorial on the final two plaques joined the ceremony, according to a press release from the town. “We are proud to honor the memory, service and sacrifice of these 365 Huntington World War II veterans and forever memorialize their service to our country,” Lupinacci said. “It is a special honor to be here with the veterans who served and to see them receive this recognition today as we remember all of those who served alongside them.” U.S. Army Major General Ret. Anthony Kropp, who led the original excavation for the town’s World War II Memorial with the help of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Reserves, attended the event and addressed the audience and relayed his experience with the project.

Among the names on the memorial are Lupinacci’s maternal grandfather’s name, Joseph J. DiSpirito; Town Clerk Andrew P. Raia’s uncle James Norman Hansen and cousins Carmine “Charles” Maltempo, Frank Meskowski, Joseph Meskowski and Julian Meskowski; state Sen. Jim Gaughran’s father Raymond Gaughran; Assemblyman Keith Brown father’s, the late New York State Supreme Court Justice Harry Richard Brown, a bronze star recipient and radio operator on a B-17 bomber, and father-in-law,

Louis Buffone. During the ceremony, Cmdr. Anthony Mastroianni of the Navy Seabee Veterans of America was acknowledged. Mastroianni passed away one week prior to the ceremony after a long life dedicated to serving veterans. The Town of Huntington World War II Memorial on Veterans Plaza honors the memory, service and sacrifice of Huntington’s World War II veterans. Under the guidance of former Veterans Advisory Board Chairman

Victor Martinetti, a groundbreaking ceremony was held on May 7, 1995, to create the World War II Memorial. The Army Corps of Engineers Reserves out of Floyd Bennett, Brooklyn, agreed to do the excavation and prepare the footing for a forty-foot foundation for the memorial. Major General Anthony Kropp, a Huntington resident, and Commander of the 416 Engineer Command helped facilitate the agreement, saving the town nearly $40,000 at the time. The World War II Memorial was dedicated on Nov. 10, 1996. Prior to Sunday’s event, there were 6,000 names on the memorial, added in four phases on 15 plaques. The two final plaques add 365 names, bringing the total to 6,365. After significant community outreach over the past few years, the two final plaques add 365 names to the memorial, including the name of Joseph B. Bennett, a Tuskegee Airman from Halesite. The unveiling ceremony for the final plaques was expected to take place in June 2020 but the town was forced to postpone the event due to COVID-19 gathering limitations and concerns. The delay and a final proofreading of the plaque allowed for the late Joseph B. Bennett’s name to be added to the list on Feb. 22, the final name of 365 new names to be added to the memorial on the last two plaques. In order for to be eligible to have their name placed on the memorial, the World War II veteran must have been a resident of the Town of Huntington at any time in their life for a minimum of six months and must have served at any time between Dec. 7, 1941, and Dec. 31, 1946, with proof of service.

Blue Devils down Colonials BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After a scoreless ﬁrst half, it was Huntington senior Theadora Carnesi’s foot that did the talking in the second half when the midﬁelder stretched the net three times to win the game, 3-1, on the road against William Floyd. Carnesi’s hat trick came courtesy of Gianna Forte who notched two assists in the Division I matchup Oct 5. Senior goalkeeper

MaKaylah Frazier had six saves. The win lifts the Blue Devils to 5-5 in their division as Floyd falls to 5-4.

‘My body, my choice’ on the corner of routes 347 and 112 BY JENNIFER CORR DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Chants like “My body, my choice” echoed through big cities like Washington, D.C., and Manhattan Saturday as part of the Rally for Abortion Justice, and that same passion made it to what is known as Resistance Corner at the junction of Route 347 and Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station. The national Rally for Abortion Justice movement, according to the Women’s March Network, comes after comes after the Supreme Court’s rejection of an emergency request to block the Texas Heartbeat Act. Coming into effect Sept. 1, the bill bans abortion at the point of the “first detectable heartbeat,” which could occur as early as six weeks into pregnancy — a point that many are just finding out they’re pregnant. At least 13 other states failed to attempt enacting similar bans after being blocked by courts. “I believe in a women’s right to choose,” said protester Bryan Campbell, who was pushing a stroller occupied by his infant. “I think it’s ridiculous what’s going on in Texas and I’m here to support the women in my life: my partner, my friends, my daughter. This is for their future and for everyone’s future.” Campbell was one of hundreds of men, women and children who gathered on the busy corner, holding signs in protest of such laws. Some even took to dressing up as characters from the “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a best-selling novel and TV series that depicts a totalitarian society that treats women as property. Donna Reggio was among those dressed in

Hundreds of people, above, lined up at the corner of Routes 347 and 112, known as Resistance Corner, in Port Jefferson Station Saturday to rally for abortion justice.

red robes and white bonnet. “It’s a dystopian fantasy that’s no longer a fantasy,” she said. “We’re going backward with women’s rights and we’re here to show that we don’t want to go there anymore.” Before Roe v. Wade — a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 that protected a women’s right to have an abortion without excessive government restriction — only more affluent women had access to safe and legal abortions. However, it is estimated that between the 1950s and ’60s, the number of illegal abortions, either selfinduced or done through often dangerous or even deadly procedures, ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million a year. Rally organizer Shoshana Hershkowitz, of

Long Island Social Justice Action Network and Suffolk Progressives, was on Resistance Corner Saturday to make sure her daughter did not grow up with fewer rights than she was able to enjoy throughout her lifetime. “Our own congressman [Lee Zeldin (RNY1)] tried to overturn Roe in the past year,” she said. “We can’t just think of this as a somewhere-else situation. It was happening right here.” That’s why the LISJAN and Suffolk Progressives joined with grassroot organizations like Long Island Progressive Coalition, Long Island Activists, New HOUR for Women & Children - LI, Show Up Long Island, NY02 Indivisible, Planned Parenthood, among others, to prevent impediments in a woman’s reproductive rights from happening anywhere — including here in New York. “We just put out the word to the different Facebook groups and [other various groups] who are invested in keeping our rights and getting women in office,” said Kat Lahey of Long Island Rising, adding that several speakers including Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) were also in attendance. “You can see that there’s a high demand to keep women’s reproductive rights.” But not all were in support of the movement. Along with some disapproving remarks made by drivers who were passing by, one woman stood on the other side of the highway holding a sign, with photos of babies, that read “Please love me, I love you.” The woman would not disclose her name, however she did share that she goes to her local Planned Parenthood every Saturday morning to pray. She said she was especially upset about New York State’s allowance of late-term abortions. Yet the 2019 law, passed on the 46th

anniversary of Roe v. Wade, only allows late-term abortions when the mother’s health is in danger. When asked about the counterprotester, Hershkowitz said that she was more than welcome to cross the road and speak with herself and other organizers. “But I’m not changing my mind,” she said. It was not the first time that groups like New HOUR and LISJAN gathered on the corner, as they also showed up for issues ranging from gun safety to the Trump-era ban on refugees from majority-Muslim countries. “Our community has come quite accustomed to gathering in this space and standing up for what we believe in,” Hershkowitz said. “So really, it’s like we almost have muscle memory because of having to gather here for so many years.” Rallies were also held in Smithtown and Huntington on the same day.

My children and my beautiful wife, Erin, and I love this area and are proud to be a part of the community. When I started Worth Painting over 36 years ago (at a very young age!) I knew I had found a career doing something I was both good at and felt good about doing! There is nothing more satisfying than when a job is complete, seeing how happy the homeowners are… it makes all the hard work so worthwhile! I love seeing something go from plain to beautiful through the work of my own hands! I take pride in each project and treat it with the care I would give my own home.

Cook explains why he’s running for town supervisor

Buy a flashlight and stay safe at night With the ending of daylight saving time around the corner and the fall season officially here, it’s beginning to get dark earlier. While cool autumn nights are a nice break from the hot and wet summer we’ve just had, what comes with the pleasant weather is also nighttime appearing closer to 6 p.m. The worst part about the darkness creeping up is that many people still act as though the sun is still out during the late evening. It’s not, and we all need to be careful. When the sun is shining, drivers are able to see pedestrians walking, biking, skating — but not so much anymore with the season change. Dog walkers are normally good about bringing a flashlight, and cyclists almost always have reflectors on their bikes — but a few do not, and they can get seriously hurt if both parties are not paying attention. But it isn’t just the people outside getting their exercise and enjoying the fresh air who are at fault. Drivers need to slow down. The combination of darkness plus speeding can cause a catastrophe. Both parties would be at fault. And then there are the deer and the other woodland critters that live in our backyards. Unfortunately, they don’t own a flashlight, so it’s our responsibility as good humans to keep an eye out for the animals who dart into the street. If we are driving slowly and cautiously, there’s a good chance we can avoid them and let them be on their merry way. If we don’t, not only could we kill the poor animal, but they can cause serious damage to the car and to us. While we appreciate the lights we have on our local streets, it’s not enough. Please, don’t wear all-dark colors while out during an evening stroll. Do bring a flashlight or indicator that you are there. Be aware of your surroundings — if you want to listen to music on your earphones, keep it down so you can hear if a car is heading your way. Remember to walk against the traffic. If you’re a cyclist, go in the same direction as the vehicles. And drivers, as we said, be mindful of our neighbors taking advantage of our beautiful North Shore. Slow down and enjoy the ride, too.

Why am I running for Huntington Town supervisor? It seems to be a question that some people have answered for me, without actually asking me. The Republican leader would like you to believe that I am running as an operative to help the Democrats, which is incorrect. Let’s be honest, many would say I am not a party favorite as I don’t do what the party wants as I stand with the people and fight for the community I am privileged to serve. The truth is, I am running for supervisor because of a bipartisan grassroots effort that showed me Huntington voters were not happy with the choices they were being given and that they wanted someone who had a proven track record of being their independent voice. I am proud of my record of listening to the residents and business owners of Huntington. I voted against the developments that Huntingtonians did not want, like Seasons of Elwood, Benchmark of Northport and Sunrise Assisted Living on Pulaski Road. I have stood with the taxpayers against LIPA, not only by voting “no” to the settlement, but also by filing and funding my own lawsuit against LIPA’s practices. I have thought outside the box to help our veterans’ organizations when they need upgrades at their facilities at no cost to taxpayers or veterans. I have worked with Suffolk County Police Department and Suffolk County Police Athletic League to bring no-cost sports programs to the community to build the relationship between the police and children in minority communities, when approached by leaders of the Hispanic community in Huntington Station. I believe Huntington taxpayers, residents, business owners and voters deserve public officials who respect what they want the town to be; public officials who understand what it means to balance a budget, without bonding unnecessary expenditures that should be planned for yearly. They deserve public officials who understand the importance of our infrastructure, water quality and smart

development. I have proven that I am that person who has a record of listening and fighting for you. I know I may not always be able to agree with every individual who voices their concerns and wants for Huntington. Many people have conflicting voices, but I do listen to you. I pledge that I will continue to listen and work with everyone to make Huntington the town you want it to be, and as a Huntingtonian,w I respect that you know what is best for your town, your family and your business. I will respect your right to be heard and will work with my colleagues for bipartisan government instead of wasting time with partisan fighting. I encourage anyone who would like to discuss why I am running for Huntington Town supervisor to email me at cookforsupervisor@gmail.com as I will be happy to answer any of your questions. Eugene Cook Candidate for Huntington Town supervisor

Zeldin’s freedom hypocrisy

Once again U. S. Rep Lee Zeldin [RNY1] has shown how unqualified he is to lead New York state and bring people together by his tirade against a vaccine mandate on hospital and nursing home workers. The hypocrisy of this coming from somebody who a year ago was blaming former Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D] for the needless spread of COVID-19 in nursing homes is mind-boggling. But what is particularly absurd is his statement that this mandate “violate[s] personal freedom.” We hear “freedom” constantly being invoked as a justification to flout scientifically based vaccination or mask requirements. But is what Zeldin and so many others call freedom really freedom? Isn’t it really license instead? Isn’t it really carte blanche to do whatever we want, regardless of the consequences? In fact, vaccination mandates have been around for a long time. For decades parents of public school children have been required to have them vaccinated against polio, measles and other highly contagious diseases. Does Zeldin not understand the concept of “contagious”?

A few years back, there was resistance in some quarters to vaccination against measles. The result was an outbreak of this dangerous disease centering on Disneyland in California and spreading to seven other states as well as Canada and Mexico. In a few third world countries there is resistance to polio vaccination. That’s the reason polio, unlike smallpox, has yet to be eradicated worldwide. If an individual refuses to be vaccinated against COVID-19, for whatever reason, that’s their choice. But that individual is not entitled to work in a hospital or nursing home and put patients and other staff at heightened risk by their behavior. If a surgeon refused to wear an N95 mask while performing surgery because he or she was convinced that it led to unsafe levels of carbon dioxide, would you want that surgeon performing surgery on you? I sure wouldn’t. Besides, if Zeldin was really sincerely concerned about the workload and stress on health care workers, he would be doing everything possible to keep patients out of the ICU by supporting measures designed to reduce the spread of the virus. Instead, he’s doing precisely the opposite. Vaccination mandates work because they force a reckoning with the consequences of personal choices. Remaining unvaccinated has consequences not only for oneself, but for everybody in one’s community. This is particularly true of health care workers. The so-called “freedom” Zeldin and others rant about is the really the license to put others at needless risk. If a health care worker is intent on remaining unvaccinated, they need to deal with the consequences of that decision, namely that they are recklessly endangering others in a hospital or nursing home, a setting where — even without COVID-19 — the spread of viral or bacterial infections is all too common. Let’s stop making freedom just another political buzzword. Those who invoke freedom to justify ignoring public health and remaining unvaccinated are debasing the very concept of freedom itself. There is no freedom without responsibility. David Friedman St. James

Opinion An unusual roadkill brings relief to an anxious dog

his time of year, my dog walks with relief and trepidation. The relief comes from temperatures that have cooled off enough that his heavy fur doesn’t exacerbate the humidity and discomfort from stifling heat. The trepidation arises out of the emergence of ominous additions to the neighborhood that change the world he knows. The spiderwebs along fences and hanging on bushes and D. None trees don’t bother him, but the ghosts planted of the above in the ground, the BY DANIEL DUNAIEF green glow-in-the-dark skeletons and the hanging vampires terrify him, as he prefers to scamper toward the street and passing cars rather than walk near an inexplicable figure swaying in the wind, hovering over him

like some supernatural predator. And so it was, recently, that we took an early October walk through our neighborhood. While these figures create anxiety for him, I was mulling the numerous global threats to the future for which we Americans and we humans are grappling. Global warming, debt limits, infrastructure bills, gun violence, the pandemic, partisanship, educational deficiencies, a destructive oil spill in California and everything else ricocheted around my head as I thought of the many looming crises. A sight on the horizon snapped me out of my anxiety labyrinth. There, around the corner, appeared to be roadkill. In the distance, I couldn’t recognize it, but I was sure that, once we got closer, my dog would pull desperately to inspect the flesh and innards of a former living creature. Generally, when I try to pull away from decaying matter on the road, my dog seems eager to get as close as he can, like a forensic photographer or a police inspector from Law

& Order, trying to figure out who might be at fault for the end of a life, whether the driver tried to maneuver away from the animal based on any skid marks nearby, or, perhaps, whether the animal contributed to its own untimely end. I try to distract him, whistling, calling his name, tugging ever so slightly on his leash to redirect him away from these sites, hoping to keep far enough away that the flies feasting on rotting animal flesh don’t land on us. Usually, such maneuvers have the same effect as making suggestions to my kids about what to do, like studying the bassoon because every band needs a bassoon player and many schools are lucky to have one or two such double-reeded wonders: they cause an equal and opposite reaction. I’m sure Newton’s third law wasn’t referring to parenting, but it seems that when we say “here” they want to go “there,” and when we say “there,” they want to go “here.” My dog seems to have studied the same playbook in response to any such guidance or direction.

As we walked, I pulled left, trying to figure out what was on the road, which seemed broken into four parts. This could be a particularly unappealing mess, I thought, trying not to make a subconscious suggestion through the leash that he head straight for it. I held my breath as a slight wind picked up from the other side of the detritus, hoping I wouldn’t smell something awful and that, somehow, neither would my dog. As we got closer, I used my peripheral vision. That’s when I noticed something unusual. Amid the odd red and brown colors was a mixture of an orange and blue mess. What kind of animal’s innards are orange and blue? Was this a Halloween roadkill? I deciphered letters on the ground. That was definitely not blood. It was a Burger King wrapper, with obliterated fries, a flattened Whopper and a crushed cup. Perhaps too focused on the Halloween decorations, the dog wasn’t at all interested or enticed by the fast food roadkill.

At home rapid tests can help defeat COVID-19

good idea during this later stage of the pandemic is to have an at-home rapid COVID test, which indicates a result in 15 minutes. Sometimes you just don’t know whether it’s a simple cold that’s arrived and is making your throat sore, or if the situation is more dire and you need to seek help. Or perhaps you find that you have been exposed to someone who has now tested positive, and you want to check yourself accordingly. Or you are about to visit grandma and you want to be sure you are not carrying the Between pathogen to her. you and me Besides the personal BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF value, the tests can be an important public health tool, although for the moment demand is high and they are hard to

find. I was able to locate two tests at a local drug store by calling around. They can be purchased at pharmacies for anywhere from $10 to $40 a test. The following are available without a prescription, according to The New York Times article, “At-Home COVID Tests: Valuable if Used Right,” in the issue of Oct. 5, and written by Emily Anthes: Abbott BinaxNOW, the Ellume COVID-19 Home Test (although there was some issue with this one yesterday), and the Quidel QuickVue At-Home COVID-19 Test. The tests “detect small viral proteins, called antigens,” and they “require rubbing a shallow nasal swab inside your nostrils, and then exposing the swab to a few drops of chemicals,” as described by the article. OraSure also makes them, among many other companies rushing their products to market. While the manufacturers’ tests are fairly simple, their directions have to be followed carefully in order to provide a correct answer. And while their results are correct 85% of the time, the tests can give a false negative if taken too soon after exposure. Further, the tests are more sensitive to people with symptoms,

especially during the first week, and when people are most infectious and can be actively transmitting the virus, according to Anthes. The successful detection rate goes up to 98 % when the tests are used repeatedly, say every three days for screening. But again, those with symptoms may test immediately, while those who have been exposed to the virus should wait 3-5 days to let the antigens accumulate in the nose, if they are there, before testing. In the event of a positive result, people should take the usual precautions: isolation, monitoring symptoms and calling for medical help if necessary. They should also get a second test to confirm the result. Rapid COVID-19 tests are for sale in grocery stores for one euro (a bit more than a dollar) in Germany, and in Britain a pack of seven are free. Policymakers around the world realized that rapid tests were a valuable public health aide. We here in the United States must make them available and more cheaply so that we can know who is infected, who is a carrier and where the outbreaks are. President

Joe Biden (D) has recognized this need and is working to make the tests accessible and more affordable. He needs to make the rapid tests official public health tools rather than medical devices. That would only take an executive order. And it would allow global manufacturers of COVID-19 tests to enter our market and immediately increase our supply. According to a piece on the Opinion page of The New York Times in the Oct. 2 issue, written by experts Michael Mina and Steven Phillips, “Past economic analyses predicted that a major government-funded rapid testing program that reached every American could add as much as $50 billion to the gross domestic product and save tens of thousands of lives or more,” There is, happily, bipartisan support for making all this happen. Vaccination plus rapid testing would mean no more unnecessary isolations, no more missed holidays with families, no more randomly closed schools or businesses. We would, in effect, be able to live with the bug.
