Smithtown residents remember BY RITA J. EGAN Across the Town of Smithtown, residents, elected officials and veterans gathered at a few local parks to remember those who served in the armed forces and made the ultimate sacrifice. Pictured clockwise from above left, high school students play “Taps” at the Kings Park memorial event at Memorial Plaza in Kings

Park; members from American Legion Riders Post 1244 attend the Kings Park event; town Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) shakes the hand of a Armed Force member; and veterans at the service held in Burke Veterans Memorial Park in St. James.

WMHO connects students through virtual learning

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Ward Melville Heritage Organization has created a virtual bridge across the Long Island Sound for students on both sides of the waterway. On Tuesday, June 1, WMHO unveiled Long Island Sound Connections, its new STEM and conservation program at the Erwin J. Ernst Marine Conservation Center on Trustees Road by West Meadow Creek. Students from Selden and Bridgeport, Connecticut, participated from their classrooms via Zoom, while WMHO trustees members and grant donors looked on from the center. Dr. Robert Park from the Fullwood Foundation, one of the donors, also joined virtually. Students from Selden Middle School in Michelle Miller’s sixth-grade science class and Julianne Biagioli’s seventh-grade science class in the Bridgeport school district discussed their studies in the June 1 presentation. The students were able to show how urban and suburban communities have contrasting situations, where the Selden

students have the 88-acre preserved wetlands of West Meadow Creek only miles away from them, and the Bridgeport students live in a city where former wetlands were developed decades ago. The organization’s virtual, cooperative learning is led by Deborah Boudreau, WMHO’s director of education. “It’s an opportunity for students to research their local Long Island ecosystems, and share what they learned about those ecosystems to learn how we can best preserve all the animals and plants that depend on these ecosystems,” Boudreau said. She told the students during the June 1 class that the teachers wanted to hear from them as much as possible. “I want to say that this program is very much about the students and your data and your research and your ideas,” she said. “You are the future of our wetlands. You are the ones that are going to carry that forward.” During the presentation, students compared findings about the wetlands as well as species that would normally be found in waterways including lobsters and horseshoe crabs, which

Bridgeport students found recently in mudflats. Naturalist and environmentalist Patricia Paladines, from Setauket, was on hand to provide a presentation on horseshoe crabs for the students. She found one in West Meadow Creek June 1 that was injured and explained it would heal. Paladines told students, while holding the crab for them to see, that a lot of people are afraid of its long tail, but it doesn’t sting. “A lot of people are afraid of them because they have this long tail here, which is called a telson, but it’s not to hurt you — it’s not to protect itself, it’s a rudder,” she said, adding that the tail was moving at the time because the crab wanted to turn over from its back to being right-side up. The program will continue throughout the month with various schools participating where they will compare and contrast data such as water salinization, marine species inventory and more. Gloria Rocchio, WMHO president, said the program was made possible by grants from the Fullwood Foundation, Investors Foundation and Teachers Federal Credit Union.

Mental health walk-in help inside the local pharmacy BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM People might soon be able to grab their prescriptions, a bag of potato chips and pick up soap as they head into a new therapy service at their local CVS. The nation’s pharmacy retail giant has started a new service at several of their stores across the U.S. — offering both walkin and scheduled sessions for mental health treatment. These appointments are available beyond typical daytime hours, including nights and weekends. According to a spokesperson with CVS Health, the company began adding licensed clinical social workers trained in cognitive behavioral therapy to 13 locations in the Houston, Philadelphia and Tampa metro areas in January of this year. These providers will offer mental health assessments, referrals and personalized counseling either in person or via telehealth through MinuteClinics inside CVS HealthHUB store locations. The spokesperson said the company is planning on expanding to 34 locations this spring. “We anticipate expanding mental health services into additional markets in the coming months,” the representative said in

an email. “We expect to have more detailed information soon.” Rite Aid and Walmart have started similar programs, too. And although MinuteClinics and the like are not available in New York state yet, Dr. Adam Gonzalez, director of behavioral health and founding director of the MindBody Clinical Research Center at the Stony Brook Renaissance School of Medicine, said this could potentially be a good day if such facilities were to come close to home. “The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many challenges and disruptions to our way of life,” he said. “We have seen an increase in depression, anxiety, increased stress overall and grief responses. Recent mental health data from the CDC also highlights an increase in mental health problems, especially among young adults, and importantly, unmet mental health needs.” According to Gonzalez, a recent CDC report indicates that during August 2020 through this February “the percentage of adults with recent symptoms of an anxiety or a depressive disorder increased from 36.4% to 41.5%, and the percentage of those reporting an unmet mental health care need increased from 9.2% to 11.7%. Increases were largest among adults aged 18–29 years and those with less than a high school education.”

“There is a great need for mental health awareness and treatment at this time,” Gonzalez added. “A silver lining of the pandemic has been the expansion and use of telehealth as a platform for treatment, allowing patients to participate in mental health treatment from the comfort of their home. However, a limiting factor for accessing care is the availability of providers.” He said throughout the pandemic, SBU’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health saw a great increase in the need for mental health care — so large, it developed a call center. “Throughout the pandemic we have consistently been receiving over 7,000 calls per month,” the director said. “Evaluating our outpatient data for the three months before the pandemic and the current last three months, there has been a 50% increase in number of visits scheduled for outpatient mental health services. Of note, the number of visits scheduled is limited by the number of providers available to provide services.” With the need for mental health providers continuing to grow, Gonzalez said additional services — like the ones at the CVS pharmacy chain — could be helpful. “I think having services available at CVS could help with normalizing mental health treatment and increasing access to care,” he

said. “The more mental health service options available to the community, the better. One consideration is the type and quality of care to be delivered. Although it is important to increase access, we also want to make sure that the quality of care being delivered is high.” But if and when the retailers open up shop on Long Island, Stony Brook Medicine is working on finding ways to reduce feelings of hopelessness and distress. “We are actively working on investigating various methods of delivering care to help with increasing access to treatment and addressing the mental health needs of the community,” Gonzalez said. These methods include expanding groupbased services, utilizing a collaborative care model that involves working closely with primary care physicians and behavioral health care managers for medication management, and utilizing skills-based single-session interventions. “We have been working with Dr. Jessica Schleider in the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University to implement and study a problem-solving single-session intervention,” he added. “Initial data indicates that these sessions help with improving agency — motivation for change — and reduce feelings of hopelessness and distress.”

Kara Hahn eyes Congress seat As TBR News Media papers were going to press Wednesday, Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) was scheduled to discuss something big in the front courtyard of the Three Village Inn in Stony Brook later in the day. Hahn, who is also deputy presiding officer of the county Legislature, announced in a press release June 2, her bid to be the next congresswoman for New York’s 1st Congressional District. The seat is currently held by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) who has his eyes on the New York State governor’s seat in 2022. She said in the press release she is running for Congress “to make an even greater impact for the community where she grew up and continues to raise her family today.”

“For too long, our community has paid the price for a representative in Washington who is more dedicated to partisan politics than the needs of this district,” Hahn said. “The cost of living on Long Island is squeezing students, workers and homeowners across this district, and it’s time we have a representative that’s laser-focused on building an economy that supports Suffolk County’s working families.” In her time in the Legislature, Hahn has risen to the deputy presiding officer leadership post and her accomplishments include authoring laws to protect land and water from pollutants, leading the charge to confront Long Island’s opioid epidemic, and working to keep women and children safe from domestic abusers.

Perspective

Danger ahead Gyrodyne plan’s failure: ‘We didn’t consider anything’ BY CINDY SMITH

With the Memorial Day weekend behind us, it’s time to enjoy outdoor get-togethers such as barbecues and lazy days on the beach. Unfortunately, this time of year also means more drivers under the influence on our roads and more inexperienced ones, too. When attending a party, it’s pretty simple. If you plan on drinking alcohol or ingesting other substances that can impair your senses, make sure you have a plan. There is no excuse for driving under the influence. Once upon a time, someone who planned on drinking needed to have a designated driver, plan to sleep over at the place where they were partying or call a taxi. Sometimes many partiers found themselves with a designated person who decided they would have a little fun, too. Or, with no room to sleep at the house where the party was held or a taxi that never showed up, they then got behind the wheel of a car and took off. Nowadays, with phone apps to order car services such as Uber or Lyft, there’s no excuse for driving under the influence of any substance. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2019, 10,142 people lost their lives due to drunk-driving crashes in the U.S. That’s 10,142 lives that were lost unnecessarily. But there is even more to watch out for on the road during those hot months besides drunk drivers. Memorial Day to Labor Day has become known as the “100 deadliest days” of the year as the teen driver death rate increases. According to AAA, from the unofficial start of summer to its unofficial end, there are “more fatal crashes per day, on average, involving teen drivers compared to the rest of the year.” A study by AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found more than 7,000 teens died in such crashes from 2010-19 in the U.S. In New York state, during the same period, 473 teen drivers died in car crashes. Risk factors include teens lack of driving skills and experiences behind the wheel and the unstructured time that summer brings with kids out of school and not having as many activities such as sports and clubs. There are also other risk factors such as texting while driving, running red lights, driving aggressively and not wearing a seat belt. What can one do when they’re traveling the roads besides watching out for drivers who are weaving in or out or running red lights? The best thing is to set an example of good driving habits on the road, especially when young people are in the passenger seats, which means cinching that seat belt, no texting or talking on the phone, no eating or drinking while steering. And to play a part in keeping impaired drivers off the road, of course, when you’re hosting a party, make arrangements for your guests who will be indulging themselves. The summertime should be time for fun, not for tears. Let’s keep the roads in our community safe, not only for the next few months but all year long. It just takes making a few wise decisions.

“We do no regional planning. We didn’t consider Brookhaven. We didn’t consider the village [Head of the Harbor]. We didn’t consider the traffic. We didn’t consider anything.” — Adrienne Esposito, vice chair, Suffolk County Planning Commission Esposito, a committed environmentalist and also executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, made this eye-opening, nostril-clearing comment May 5 when the commission voted on Gyrodyne’s notorious subdivision application. In proceedings that failed to live up to even the loosest definition of the term professional planning, the commission voted 5-4 to kick the can down the road, sending the application back to the Town of Smithtown without comment. It was a sorry performance on a vastly important decision, avoiding oversight for a project that will surely transform the quality of our lives and the character of our communities. By now everyone who lives anywhere near Gyrodyne’s Flowerfield site on historic Route 25A knows that Ed Romaine (R), supervisor of the neighboring Town of Brookhaven for nearly a decade, has been raising a ruckus over the issue Esposito just raised. In December 2019, Romaine took the unusual step of speaking at the only public forum Smithtown has organized to obtain feedback on the Gyrodyne proposal. I spoke too, along with dozens of others. Romaine raised big questions about open-space preservation, environmental concerns and the importance of collaborating on traffic management plans and infrastructure improvements. Having been unceremoniously excluded

from planning discussions, he pleaded for future inclusion — and was ignored. Last month, he took the unusual step of pleading his case of intermunicipal dialogue in a published op-ed. John Cameron, managing partner with Cameron Engineering & Associates, Gyrodyne’s consulting engineer, said he’s followed the necessary requirements in preparing the project’s planning collateral. Yet the New York State Department of Transportation denies that the engineering firm has held many working discussions with them. Cameron’s own environmental impact statements mention none of the four major projects conceived at Flowerfield’s perimeters. The R&D wireless center project at Stony Brook University, for example, will alone add 1 million square feet of office space. The traffic these projects will generate, and the demands they’ll make on roads and services, will be enormous. There is no mention of any of them in the Cameron report. We do hear, frequently, of promised economic benefits. At the May 5 meeting John Finn, a commercial broker and planning board commissioner, claimed the project would create 1,500 construction jobs and over 1,000 fulltime jobs. Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) has floated the idea that Gyrodyne will open the sewage treatment plant to Lake Avenue businesses, bringing much-needed sewerage to St. James while reducing nitrate levels in local waters. Not so quick. Construction jobs of a temporary status will certainly be created. Anyone expecting a locals-only construction boom better think again. Federal hiring rules require contractors to recruit workers from near and far. As for

Letter to the Editor

full-time jobs, many will be of the lowpaying variety, common in the service industries (hotels, nursing homes) that will occupy the new buildings. The sewage plant hook-up canard was floated by Wehrheim about three years ago. It’s been debunked. Gyrodyne has acknowledged its plant will lack the capacity to handle outside sewage, and that it never applied for a county sewage permit. Among environmental scientists and local conservationists, the project is universally disparaged. Many have said to me that it just doesn’t make sense building a sewage plant this close to a vulnerable harbor like Stony Brook. Dozens of engineers, scientists and conservations have contacted Smithtown and warned them to redo the environmental studies, this time taking a careful look. When the town accepted letters on the subject this winter, it received 66 in opposition, 0 in favor. Experts warn the site’s proximity to the harbor will turn the waters green within two to five years. Say goodbye to swimming, boating and fishing. The Gyrodyne megadevelopment is a bad idea foisted on a good town. The Town of Smithtown has not engaged in real planning with its neighbors, nor has it carefully identified the project’s environmental risks, as required by state environmental law. The promised economic benefits are greatly exaggerated. The town needs to go back and consider how to make this project doable and sustainable, something future generations will be able to live with. As Esposito said, “We didn’t consider anything.” Cindy Smith, a Smithtown native, is founder of United Communities Against Gyrodyne.

Zeldin doesn’t deserve to be governor U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] has voted to remove Congresswoman Liz Cheney [R-WY] from her Republican leadership position in the House of Representatives. This after she spoke truth to power in sharing her belief that President Joe Biden [D] won the election, and that the Jan. 6 attack on our Capitol was encouraged by our former President Donald Trump

[R]. State governors, Republican and Democratic, have accepted the results of the election. Because millions more citizens voted for the president than his opponent, Biden won in the Electoral College. The Supreme Court has ruled that the election results showed our president won. Zeldin continues to question the election results and to unseat truth-

telling Cheney from her House GOP leadership position. He has downplayed the seriousness of the invasion of our Capitol. For these reasons he does not deserve to continue as our representative in Congress, and certainly not to be the governor of our state.

Opinion The welcome return of planning during the summer of 2021

’m not much of a planner. I put together professional plans, creating a schedule for stories I’d like to research and write, and I coordinate calls and meetings all week, but I don’t tend to go through the calendar to figure out when to visit socially with friends and family or to attend cultural events. This summer, however, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to look at the calendar and consider a D. None wide range of activities of the above that would have been BY DANIEL DUNAIEF difficult or impossible a year ago. I’m delighted to plan to visit with my extended family. I haven’t seen my brothers in over 19 months. I have visited with them on the phone

and zoom, but that’s not nearly the same thing as seeing them in person, throwing a ball with them, flying a kite off the beach or just sitting on the couch and having a free-flowing conversation. I am also delighted to consider planning a trip to museums. On one of our first dates, my wife and I went to the Metropolitan Museum, where we wandered slowly through the exhibits, continuing to build on our relationship even as we studied the artifacts left behind by the generations that fell in love and married hundreds of years earlier. I recall wandering through those wide hallways close to a quarter of a century ago, listening to my wife’s stories and delighting in laughter that, even now, provides validation and meaning to each moment. I am hoping to travel to Washington, D.C., this summer, to see the air and space museum. Each of the planes hovers overhead, and the space capsules from the early days of the NASA program are inspirational, giving me a chance to picture the world from a different vantage point, seeing the shimmering blue

waters that cover the Earth. I have watched planes fly overhead throughout the pandemic, but I haven’t ventured to the airport or onto a plane. I’m looking forward to the opportunity that flight provides to turn trips that would take over 10 hours into one- or twohour flights. Visiting family, friends and strangers in different areas, eating foods that are different and unfamiliar and experiencing life outside of the small circles in which we’ve restricted ourselves opens up the possibilities for the summer and beyond. My son can prepare for the start of college and my daughter for a return to college with the hope that they can enjoy more of the academic, social, extracurricular and community service experiences that they imagined when they envisioned these years of growth, development and, hopefully, independence. I spoke with a scientist recently who told me that the inspiration for a work he’d just completed came from a conversation he had during a

conference a few years ago. He had been sitting in an auditorium, listening to a speech, when he and a stranger exchanged thoughts about the implications of the work. From that interaction, he started a new project that became a productive and central focus of his research efforts. As soon as conferences are back on the calendar, he hopes to return to the road, where such unexpected and unplanned conversations can trigger inspiration. To be sure, I recognize that the realities of travel and planning don’t always dovetail with the hopes and expectations. I recently visited with our extended community at a social gathering, where I stood downwind of someone who wore so much cologne that I couldn’t taste the food I was eating. I’m sure there’ll also be lines, traffic jams and literal and figurative turbulence as I leave our home cocoon. Still, this summer, I’ll be grateful for the opportunity to do so much, including and especially, the chance to plan.

Our first trip after being vaccinated against COVID-19 was a celebration

ongratulations are in order for this past weekend’s activities. First and most importantly, my youngest grandchild graduated from high school last Friday. What a lovely milestone for him, one not to be missed by us. We decided to drive there, the 11-hour trip notwithstanding, rather than deal with the inevitable crowds and COVID risks and restrictions at the airport. But so much more had to be factored into our plans. Why, I wondered, would a school arrange for graduation Between during Memorial Day you and me weekend? This was BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF an especially puzzling question as reports were warning of major travel activity by car and plane. Over 37 million people were expected to venture more than 50 miles away from home, a 60% increase above last year, with a big post-pandemic breakout looming. Clearly this situation called for some careful

strategizing. First we called and secured reservations at a hotel near the school. This was going to be more than a one-day trip. That was the easiest part. Then we decided to start right after work on Tuesday evening since that would probably beat the traffic leaving the Island for the weekend. We would drive as far as we could before stopping at a roadside lodging for the night, which we figured would give us a good head start on the trip for the following day. Next we thought to pick up some sandwiches for dinner in the car on our way out of town. We ordered those in advance, as well as the much loved chocolate chip cookies from the local bakery to bring my family. And we would stop for a package that a friend, who lives near my grandson, requested we bring to her. We followed the plan. After five hours of night driving with blissfully no traffic, we saw a sign for a familiar hotel at the next exit and drove off the highway feeling quite ready for a good sleep. Our first problem was that, in our haze, we couldn’t immediately find the hotel. After a bit of exploring and a U-turn, we did and pulled into a parking lot that looked ominously full. When we tried the front door, it was locked.

Fortunately, as we stood there in a fatigued stupor, a worker at the hotel came along and opened the door for us. She then called to the clerk behind the front desk, who had appeared from nowhere, and who told us what we feared: no rooms available. She directed us to the next hotel down the highway. “But wait,” the first worker said as she scooted around behind the desk, “let me look at the register.” After several minutes, she found an unfulfilled reservation for a room on the fourth floor and offered it to us. Relief! The next day, we happily arrived at our destination by mid-afternoon. I don’t have to tell you how wonderful it was to come together with family we had not seen in over a year, to hug them and note how the children had grown, and talk with them in person for hours. Thursday, other members of the extended family arrived, everyone in a happy mood, and Friday, under a beautiful blue sky, we all went to the commencement and cheered mightily as our grandson walked on stage, shook the president’s hand and received his sheepskin. We, of course, celebrated the rest of the day and well into the evening. It felt a little unreal

to be casually chatting together after the year of pandemic isolation, something we would otherwise, in earlier times, so taken for granted. Now came the tricky part: when to leave for the drive home through the midst of the holiday weekend. We had decided on Saturday, hoping that was a good travel day, when most people would already have gotten to their destinations and before they would have started to return. Picking up some provisions for the car ride, we filled the gas tank and left in the morning for home. There was never any serious traffic along the route. Score one for strategy, another for luck. And another for appreciation and gratitude for all that we would have simply accepted prepathogen as our due.

Correction:

Last week’s Between You and Me column, titled “Two new trends for improving mental health,” contained incorrect information about philanthropist Ward Melville and CVS. In 1969, CVS was sold to the Melville Corporation, which was started by Ward Melville. We regret the error.
