Legislators take bite out of rising food prices With the cost of food spiraling out of control, public officials are scrambling for answers. A May report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates food prices have climbed 10.8% since April 2021, the highest 12-month increase in over four decades. The surge in food prices nationwide is being driven by a number of factors occurring both domestically and abroad. Both Ukraine and Russia are major international exporters of grain, including corn, wheat and soy, among other staples. The price of these products has surged exponentially due to the war, affecting markets globally. “Food prices in the United States are going up because the oil to deliver the food, the cost of fertilizer, and the cost of planting and harvesting are all going up,” Martin Cantor, director of the Long Island Center for Socio-Economic Policy, said in a phone interview. “All of that has to do with inflation, it has to do with oil and gas, and it has to do with the war in Ukraine.” New York State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) addressed growing concerns over food prices. He said that the state Legislature has recently passed legislation that eliminates the fuel tax. This, coupled with actions at the county level, may help offset increases in food prices. “The main thing that we’ve been able to do in this recently passed state budget is to remove — at least temporarily for the rest of this year — the 16-cent state tax on fuel,” he said. “When you live around here, for most people, you need a car to get your food, so these escalating costs are related.” He added, “We’ve also authorized in the state budget the commissioner of agriculture to sharpen his pencils to see what he can do to bring more food to market.” The Suffolk County Legislature has also suspended its tax on fuel, effective June 1. State and county measures combined, Englebright said residents are now seeing a 26-cent reduction per gallon of gasoline. Despite the elimination of these fuel taxes, prices nationwide continue to swell. State Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio (R-Riverhead) said local residents are being hit particularly hard due to the already high cost of living on Long Island. “We pay the highest taxes and the highest utility rates here on Long Island,” she said. “It’s very important that we focus now on funneling the money that we have in the state budget into these communities, not only to help the business owners, but to help the residents survive through

this process and through this inflation.” The recently enacted state budget will offer residents some relief in the form of direct cash payments through the New York School Tax Relief Program (STAR). Giglio said she and her colleagues in Albany appropriated an additional $2.2 billion in the state budget and expedited the delivery of these checks to help residents deal with inflation and rising costs. “The $2.2 billion is for homeowner tax rebate checks,” she said, adding. “It’s a one-time check for STAR-eligible homeowners, and it’s for individuals and for families. New Yorkers are going to start getting these checks right away and they should be hitting within the next couple of weeks.” Elevated food costs will detrimentally impact food pantries as well. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) expressed concerns that rising food costs will only compound the existing problem of food insecurity, making it even harder to feed those in need. “Food insecurity has been a growing problem on Long Island,” she said. “We support a number of food pantries across Suffolk County. I’ve been part of supporting Long Island Cares and Island Harvest, trying to make sure that there is not food waste.” She added, “This is tough. We’re in a really tough place with food prices, and families at the poverty level are suffering the most.” Midterm elections loom large as Long Islanders consider ways to get food on the table. At the current rate, food expenses will be at the top of the priority list for a sizable voting bloc. Englebright acknowledges that if food prices are not alleviated soon, there may be significant electoral consequences at all levels of government this November. “People will inevitably try to make their anguish heard and understood, and one way to do that is at the ballot box,” he said. “That is a possibility but I hope that the sense of urgency does not require that people use that as the only way to have a sense of empowerment, and optimism in the hope that we’re able to use the instruments of government, limited as they may be, to help offset some of these costs and give people a chance to put food on the table.” Cantor reiterated these sentiments. He suggests voters are much more likely to vote for the opposition during times of great tribulation. “The reality is that when people are angry, hungry and can’t work, they usually vote the incumbents out,” he said. “When everything you touch costs more than you make, that gets you very angry and very upset. The poor and the middle class are going to get hurt the most.”

Centereach man indicted for murder

Suffolk County Police arrested a Centereach man on June 10 for allegedly fatally beating 16-year-old Henry Hernandez of Riverhead, whose skeletal remains were found behind a home on Jay Road in Centereach on March 15, 2020. Hernandez was believed to have been dead for approximately one year before his body was found. Following an investigation, Homicide Squad detectives arrested John Mann Jr., 19, of Centereach, and charged him with Murder 2nd Degree. He was arraigned on the indictment on June 13 and held without bail. He is due back in court on July 13. “This was a horrific and brutal crime committed for no rational reason but what is just as disturbing is that the defendant was 16 years-old when he allegedly committed this callous act,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney. “We will make sure that the victim gets justice and that this defendant gets to account for his alleged actions.” A criminal charge is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Editorial

Bicyclists beware

The warm weather is here and that means more people are walking outside while others are taking to the streets on their bikes. In some recreational areas, including several in our own backyards, walkers and bicyclists share the same paths. Sometimes the mixture can be a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, many on bikes pedaling at high speeds seem to be more concerned about quickly getting somewhere than about taking proper precautions to ensure pedestrian safety. Electric bikes have only compounded these issues. It’s not uncommon to hear of someone taking a leisurely stroll and then being hit by a bike, thrown to the ground and ending up needing medical assistance. One walker on Trustees Road at West Meadow Beach recently needed stitches after being hit by a bike. When sharing the road with cars, bikers know to stay to the right, ride in the same direction of traffic, be no more than two abreast and transition to single file when a car is passing. However, many seem to forget there are rules to follow when on a path without cars. A general rule of thumb is for bikers to keep to the right. When this isn’t possible, if a person on a bike sees people walking ahead, especially if their back is turned to them, it’s common courtesy to not only slow down but also to say “on your right” or “passing on your left.” A better solution is to have a bell on the bike so you can alert people when you are coming down the path. Bicyclists should also avoid riding on sidewalks. One reason is that drivers aren’t expecting a person on a bike to be on the sidewalk, and sometimes can be caught off guard when someone comes pedaling onto the road. Taking care when on wheels doesn’t stop with bicycles, as skateboarders should also use caution when sharing space with pedestrians. Most importantly, bikers should take advantage of the designated bike paths that are opening up throughout the county. These paths provide bikers the necessary space to pursue their pastime in peace and comfort, reducing the risk of a critical biking accident on our roads. No one should come home injured due to the carelessness of another. Elected officials should continue working to ensure shared recreational areas are safe by adding bicycle paths to keep bikers to the right or adding speed bumps to slow down those on wheels. Warm weather may be perfect for getting outside and having some fun, but the fun ends when someone gets hurt. Just a little bit of care and remembering public paths are meant to be shared can make for a better and safer day for everyone just trying to enjoy some recreational time. And bikers, before you head for the road, don’t forget to put on your helmet!

Letters to the Editor Zeldin’s anti-Semitism hypocrisy

Congressman Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] sent a letter to some constituents regarding the rise of anti-Semitism in New York. He urges passage of H.Res 1125 against anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, Zeldin’s hypocrisy makes him the wrong person to speak against anti-Semitism. He was a very strong supporter of our former president, whose racism, misogyny and instigation of hate for the other let loose a wave of anti-Semitism. Witness Trump’s [R] tepid remarks about some “very ﬁne people” at the 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which white supremacists chanted, “We will not be replaced,” referring to both Jews and African Americans. At no time has Zeldin publicly spoken out against either the ex-president’s statement or at any other time when anti-Semitic acts have occurred. Zeldin has been no friend of Jewish and other minority concerns. His stance in support of antiabortion legislation ignores the fact that it is a freedom of religion issue in which Jews and others believe that life begins with birth and not conception. Surely the issue is important and H.Res 1125 is worthy, but Zeldin is not the person to use it to advance his bona ﬁdes on Jewish matters. The letter he sent is for purely political purposes: His apparent run for governor of New York State is the reason for his reaching out to Jewish constituents. Rabbi Adam D. Fisher, Suzan Goldhaber, Scott Gingold, Judy Albano, Abe Trenk & Rita Edwards Port Jefferson Station

Port Jeff Branch electriﬁcation is years away

The article, “Elected officials, community leaders rally for electrification of LIRR’s Port Jeff line,” by Rita J. Egan [TBR News Media, June 9] is nothing new. The idea has been periodically advocated since the 1960s by generations of elected officials with no success. In 1970, electrification was extended from Mineola to Huntington providing some relief. In the 1980s, discussions took place between the MTA, LIRR, Suffolk County and various elected officials over which branch should be electrified first. The Ronkonkoma Branch was selected over the Port Jefferson Branch. It took 35 years before completion of full double-track electrification.

The estimated cost to extend electrification beyond Huntington today is $3.6 billion and will grow over time. This is necessary to pay for planning, design and engineering, environmental review, land acquisition for construction of power sub stations, expansion of commuter parking, relocation and/or consolidation of existing stations, new stations and platforms, new electric multiple-unit car storage yard, double tracking, third rail, signals and construction management. From start to finish could require 15 to 20 years. Is the Port Jeff project included in the MTA 2020-2040 20 year capital needs plan which nobody has seen for 30 months? Gov. Kathy Hochul [D] did not include this project in her State of the State Address or $220 billion state budget. To pay for future construction, the project would require Federal Transit Administration discretionary grant program funds transit capital investments to be matched by a similar amount from local sources. The project is not included within President Biden’s [D] FY23 budget requests $21.1 billion for transit and $17.9 billion for rail. It also not included in the FTA FY 2023 Capital Investment Grants Program New Starts and Core Capacity projects funding recommendations. Based upon my past experiences on other FTA-MTA-LIRR projects, I would not be surprised if electrification of the Port Jefferson Branch is not completed until 2040. Larry Penner Great Neck

‘Ballet Mécanique’

In 1924, artist Fernand Léger collaborated with Dudley Murphy and Man Ray to make an experimental film titled “Ballet Mécanique” (mechanical dance). It is not so much the ﬁlm itself — which used rhythmic repetition of stills, including mannequin parts — but the title, which I think about each time I look out at the harbor from my studio. Léger admired tools. He wrote in a brief essay for the journal L’Esprit Nouveau that on a visit to a museum some workers were in the gallery for repairs. He was completely distracted from the dark paintings by the workers in their bright blue overalls with their

File photo beautiful shiny metal tools. My view of the harbor includes the gravel operation in the foreground. The two main pieces of equipment work tirelessly in a dance (pas de deux) to transfer the gravel from the barges to the shore, and subsequently onto the trucks. The long crane dominates. She must swallow as much gravel as possible on each move to transfer to the pile. The operator must hit the outgoing pile at the best angle, and release the load to land in the right spot to construct the new pile. Sometimes the most efficient route is to make full circles — a continuous movement that includes the snatch and the throw. (Talk about pirouettes.) And the dancer is lean and muscular. No material is wasted on good tools. The sections of the “arm” (or leg, or goose’s neck) are designed to do the structural job without embellishment — thicker where the bending moment is greater — like a bone. The movement mechanism, the tendon, is also visible in the action. The front loader has the supporting role. He is busy tidying up, gathering stray rocks around the mother crane’s work. Also taking care of the next transfer — from the ground to the trucks. The front loader is low to the ground — big scoop, up and in — no soaring displays. But the two work together in an astonishing dance/ dialogue. I know that the proximity of this industry to the residential district creates problems. It is difficult to access for the drivers and creates dust, noise, traffic for the residents. But I do enjoy the dance from my window. I’m sure the operators are just trying to get the job done as efficiently as possible — but maybe that efficiency, like the design of their machines, is what makes the movement so beautiful. Frances Campani Painter and architect Port Jefferson

Opinion

Wait, how could our child be that old?

ven as I type this, I’m sure my mom, and the parents of people in their 40s and 50s, are going to laugh. You see, my daughter turned 21 recently. For me, her age comes as a bit of a shock, a take-stock moment and a time warp enigma. I get it. She’s lived 21 years, but, somehow, her reaching that age seems to have happened suddenly. I know it’s not all D. None about me, but it is in of the above this column, so, hang BY DANIEL DUNAIEF with me for a few more minutes. I don’t remember many of my birthdays when I was younger. At her third birthday, I’m pretty sure I didn’t stop and say to myself,

“When I turned three, I was wishing with all my might for a Big Wheel.” That probably was what I wanted, but I don’t remember thinking that. In fact, I don’t recall other landmark birthdays all that vividly, even though my parents invited my friends over, sang to me, and insisted that I make a “really good wish” before I blew out the candles. What I remember from that age was my ambivalence. I was uncomfortable with all the attention, but I enjoyed the excitement of opening new presents. One year, all I wanted was basketballs, so I got three of them from my obliging social group. So, back to our daughter. She earned this milestone birthday, leaving behind a trail of bread crumb memories. On the day of our daughter’s birth, my wife insisted that I stay with her in the hospital no matter what was happening with my wife, so that we brought home the baby that had been “cooking” as we called it, for all those months. It wasn’t hard to find our daughter, who

has a distinctive birthmark and was exactly twice the weight of the baby next to her in the pediatric unit. She went through numerous stages on the journey from that first miraculous day to now. When we moved out to a suburb from Manhattan, she took a walk through a nearby wooded path. An inchworm dangled from a tree and landed on her small, thin outstretched finger. She carried it, slowly and carefully back to our house, offering to show this miracle to our new neighbors. Having lived their entire short lives in the suburbs, they didn’t relate to this city girl’s fascination with small samples of nature and returned to their driveway activities. She took us with her on a journey that included brief visits to ballet studios (that ended abruptly) and to gymnastics floors (that also didn’t take). We spent considerably more time on hot softball fields and in confined volleyball gymnasiums, where ear-piercing whistles blended with teams celebrating the end of each point.

We also attended numerous concerts, including jazz bands, where she overcame stage fright to play a tenor saxophone solo. We went through phases where nothing I said was right, funny or even worth sharing. The silent treatment, the lack of communication and the dubiousness with which she interacted with us helped prepare us for the moment when her younger brother exercised his own need to push us away and assert his independence. So, here she is, at 21, driving a car, preparing for her senior year of college, making friends, gainfully employed during the summer, and filled with so much of the same wonder that defined her earlier years. In fact, these days, instead of carrying inchworms on her now manicured hands, she maintains several ecospheres filled with snails on a small table in her room. When children act out, parents sometimes caution them that they may one day have a child just like them. In her case, I certainly hope so. I couldn’t wish anything better for our now 21-year-old.

No commute but no sick days in this new world

“

I’m sorry to tell you this, but I tested positive last night for COVID,” was the text message from one of our staff in Wednesday’s morning mail. “My sister tested positive, and I was not feeling good so I tested. I am figuring I will work from home the rest of the week and should be OK to return Monday … I just have a headache and a really bad sore throat. No cough. [Not to worry] I wore Between my mask [this past] you and me Monday and Tuesday BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF at work because I was not feeling good.” These are the two ways the landscape for businesses has changed. First, at any moment, COVID can alter the day’s lineup. The wildly contagious

coronavirus can attack anyone, even those who have been vaccinated, those who have also been boosted and those who have already suffered with a previous bout of the disease. No one is safe, unless they have stayed in a cave alone for over two years, and hence no establishment or sports team or orchestra is immune from shake up on a daily basis. The second change is made possible by the ability to work remotely. Not every worker can do so. Conductors cannot drive trains remotely, sanitation workers cannot clean remotely and surgeons cannot remove an appendix remotely. At least not yet. But many jobs do lend themselves to being discharged from afar. And this has led to some unintended consequences. Workers have discovered that they sometimes enjoy doing their jobs from home. Yes, they might miss the socializing that is a part of the office scene. And they might feel like they can come up with new ideas better in an in-person gathering. But they really like working on their own timetable, with time out for a walk or to throw in a wash. Of course,

the typical work schedule is altered. They can sit at the computer well into the night, with no separation between work time and free time. And they can be with their families more, for better and worse. So some in my office, who can perform their jobs from home, are asking to do that. In fact, they are requesting and getting software that enables access to their desk computers at work. They can then tap into the key items they need to complete their tasks. That also suggests they are still there. Which reminds me of the early days, when I worked at a large corporation, and we might leave a few minutes early but hung our sweaters on the back of the desk chairs to give the impression we were returning. One staffer even asked if she could borrow a desk chair from the office. She says it makes her feel totally comfortable when working in her house. It used to be that workers tried to transform their office space into reminders of home, with photos, pillows, plants and the like. Now we have the opposite. Employees are transforming their home workspace into their offices.

As you can tell from the text I quoted, we have no expectation of sick days. We assume that if we are conscious, we can still produce whatever we are responsible for producing. Where before we might have had food trays brought to us in bed, now we have our laptops perched across our midriffs if we remain horizontal. What will happen next? For some, working remotely is a dream come true. My oldest grandson has a terrific job that can only be done remotely, and he feels immense freedom to live anywhere he chooses. That’s not so different from when I had just graduated from college and decided where I wanted to live, knowing that wherever I moved, I would be able to find a job because there were more jobs than people to fill them in the 1960s. For others, a hybrid work week seems ideal: the best of the office for two or three days, and no commuting the rest of the week. Only those with no choice may be peeved.

March for Our Lives LI

Student activists and community members took to the streets of Port Jefferson Station on Saturday, June 11, to protest the recent proliferation of gun violence in schools nationwide. Demonstrators held signs and organizers delivered impassioned speeches calling upon

public officials to enact comprehensive gun reform policies. Local photojournalist Daniel Palumbo was on the ground during the event, capturing images of the demonstrators as the event unfolded. — Photos by Daniel Palumbo
