Districts Pass School Budgets, Reelect Incumbents All school districts passed their budgets this year, though all are anticipating potential changes in state aid later in the year. In addition, all district voters decided to reelect incumbents in contested races.

Shoreham-Wading School District

River

Central

SWR passed its 2020-21 budget, 2,146 to 801. Its budget is set at $77,164,774, a 1.6 percent increase from last year’s $75,952,416. The year’s tax levy is $55,391,167, a $1,013,510 increase from 2019-20. The district will maintain all current programming despite potential state aid cuts. Its state aid package would be $12,789,308, a $112,843 increase from last year. In the event of potential state aid cuts midyear, the district has placed certain items in the budget that would not be purchased before Dec. 31, including multiple infrastructure projects at Miller Avenue elementary and the middle school, as well as work on the districtwide grounds and asphalt repairs. In the board of education elections all three candidates were incumbents and ran unopposed. Board president Michael Lewis secured another term on the board with 2,292 votes, Katie Anderson, who finished her first term this year, was reelected with 2,324 votes. Henry Perez was reelected to another term as well and garnered 2,300 votes.

Rocky Point Union Free School District

The 2020-21 budget passed 1,961 to 952. Its budget is set at $84,586,600, with state aid reduction resulting in a $2.1 million decrease in the overall figure. Expenditure decreases are across the board to reach the reduced budget. The budget sets the tax levy at $52,483,059, setting itself directly at the tax cap, a very slight increase from last year’s figure. A capital reserve proposition was approved 1,998 to 893. The district is planning to use the capital reserves to repave the front driveway area in front of the high school with a cost not to exceed $350,000. Rocky Point’s current reserve balance is set at $1,590,368. Due to the result of the vote, the district will gain access to the

funds. The capital reserve does not increase the tax levy. Incumbents Sean Callahan and Jessica Ward secured reelection to a three-year term. They garnered 1,955 and 2,094 votes, respectively. Challenger Kellyann Imeidopf fell short with 960 votes.

Miller Place School District

The Miller Place School District passed its 2020-21 budget convincingly with a vote of 2,156 to 860. The budget is set at $75,713,895, a 2.37 percent increase from last year. The district’s 2020-21 tax levy is set at $47,616,059 and an increase of $687,471 from last year’s amount. Miller Place’s state aid was set at $23,144,911, but the district also has leftover building aid of $792,666 and will be receiving an additional $208,010 for 2020-21. Officials said they plan on using leftover aid and funds from repairing the high school gym floor to help offset any further reductions in state aid. Proposition 2, which comprised the library budget, passed overwhelming as well: 2,464 to 548. Board Vice President Richard Panico was reelected to the board with 2,407 votes. Trustee member Lisa Reitan was also reelected to another term with 2,420 votes.

Voters passed the 2020-21 budget, 2,108 to 857. Its budget is set at $61,769,870, a $760,100 and 1.25 percent increase from last year. The tax levy is set at $41,396,602, an increase of 1 percent and well below the 2.43 percent cap set by New York State. A second proposition asked voters to approve $1.2 million for capital projects from the reserves. It passed 2,365 to 595. Projects will include continuing the high school roof replacement for $865,000, replacing the middle school water heater for $100,000, among others for a total of $1,200,000. Three board seats were up for grabs this year. Incumbents Edward Law, Robert Sweeney and Peter Van Middelem all secured reelection with 1,635, 1,915 and 1,675 votes, respectively. Newcomer Karen Pitka came up shy in her bid to get on the board securing 1,597 votes.

NYS Senate Democratic Candidates Debate the Issues BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

With a June 23 date for the New York State primary fast approaching, TBR News Media hosted an online debate to hear directly from those Democrats running for the District 1 State Senate seat. The position has been held for the past 40 years by Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson). At the beginning of the year, LaValle announced this year would be his last in the Senate. Yet even before the venerable senator made his announcement, Democratic contenders were lining up for the seat. By late January, five Dems were in the race. Meanwhile, the Republicans have already settled on their front-runner, state Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk). Candidates 19-year-old activist Skyler Johnson, Southampton Town Councilman Tommy John Schiavoni, founder of Parents for Megan’s Law Laura Ahearn and Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) all responded to TBR’s requests for a debate. Nora Higgins, a Ridge resident and the regional coordinator of the Public Employees Federation, did not respond to multiple requests for her availability in the debate. With the number of cases of COVID-19 in New York dropping, and with the reopening process happening, how would you like to see Long Island continue to reopen, while still putting in safeguards to prevent a resurgence? Many candidates called the fact the state allowed big-box stores to stay open was unfair while small businesses were forced to close and lose out on several months of business. Cartright said she and her fellow members of the town board have decried the state’s unequal practices of forcing small businesses to remain closed for months while stores like Walmart or Target stayed open. She touted the town’s small business reopening task force made up of local business leaders to look at this issue. “As we move forward [in reopening], we find gaps, we find things that are not necessarily equitable,” Cartright said. “We have been on calls for the past four months each day talking about how we can best service our constituency — we cannot stop that process now.” Johnson said the virus spread because of people not being able to call in sick for work or leave their jobs, especially if they might lose health insurance. He called for the passage of the New York Health Act, which would allow universal health coverage for residents. “We need more places where business owners can reach out to, to keep themselves, their employees and their customers safe,” he said. Ahearn said the state needs to ensure it’s not limiting small businesses, and called for further

tax incentives beyond the federal stimulus money given to small shops to ensure they can continue. “Small businesses are really struggling out there,” Ahearn said. “If Walmart is open, and people are buying tchotchke, why couldn’t they go to local stores and buy that tchotchke?” Schiavoni, a former teacher for almost 30 years, also said New York needs to “unify” the health care systems, including hospitals and walk-in clinics, and said New York State will need to lobby the federal government for additional financial relief for local municipalities. With 34 school districts in Senate District 1, many could very well lose close to 20 percent of state aid, which means cuts that could be “absolutely staggering.” “Which means we’re cutting jobs when we really shouldn’t,” he said. With the ongoing protests, and with bills recently passed in the state Legislature with most already signed by the governor, what is your opinion of protester calls for reform, and what more should state and local governments do to bridge the divide of race relations on Long Island? Johnson said he helped organize two separate protests, one in Port Jefferson Station and another in Stony Brook, which he said he was “very proud of.” He called for more police reform than the bills passed in the Legislature. As a proponent of what is called “defunding the police,” he said it is more about taking money given to departments and investing it into communities. He also called for demilitarizing departments, citing Los Angeles police just recently having been forced to get rid of their grenade launchers. “We need to be passing reforms on every level to reform police departments,” Johnson said. “We need to pass reforms that combat if a black and a white man are arrested, the black man will likely receive a harsher sentence.” Schiavoni said that Suffolk has “great police officers who need to be lauded,” and those people need to be leaders to get rid of racist elements in the ranks. “Those officers that shouldn’t be in the ranks, let’s face it, they kill people,” Schiavoni said. He said the state needs to alter the way po-

lice are trained and led, and also enfranchise the people of the community to help police their own communities. Cartright said the killing of George Floyd was just the inciting incident that “helped open the eyes of people to what’s been happening to black and brown people for centuries.” When looking at the bills that passed the state Legislature, she cited that many of the bills had been on the docket for years “with no traction.” Before she became a councilwoman, she had been working as one of those looking to “push the needle” toward reform. Cartright added that it’s on the state and people to make sure local governments are not circumventing this newly passed legislation, and that this is “just the beginning.” Ahearn said as the person who runs Suffolk’s Crime Victims Center, she deals with local police on a day-to-day basis and sees the “overwhelming majority of our law enforcement officers are great cops,” including public safety and police, but the state “needs to weed out the bad ones, because they are literally killing people in our community.” She said she supports the ongoing protests that will eventually lead to the end of structural racism not only in police but in health care, housing and much more. She said the terminology of “defunding” police is wrong, but the state should restructure to allow for de-escalation training and community outreach. Many young graduates may be looking at a job market similar to those graduating in 2008. What have we learned since then, and how do we make Long Island more affordable to help both young and old consider staying? Ahearn said she is a strong proponent of transit-based housing, especially citing the county’s work on the Ronkonkoma Hub project, adding that a general need to make investments in infrastructure to help generate funds as both local governments and states have been severely impacted by the pandemic. “Our young people, our millennials just can’t afford to live here because they don’t have the good, high-paying jobs that are going to give

them the income they need,” Ahearn said. Cartright said it will take the revitalization of communities to create “additional options for housing.” She said it’s difficult to convince people to step past the initial NIMBYism thought to consider affordable housing options in their communities. She cited her work with the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville hub study for an example of looking at transit-based development, and how it will require sewers before revitalization occurs. The state, she said, should shift the system that allows young people to buy homes, especially since student loan debt is taken into account when applying for a mortgage, and add more incentives to incorporate affordable components in new developments. Schiavoni cited his work with Southampton Town creating affordable housing complexes. He said it will require new rezoning laws to allow for mixed-use structures. He also mentioned the five East End towns’ Community Preservation Fund, which creates a transfer of some money sales of new homes over $400,000 toward a pool of affordable housing funds. “These are the kind of innovative ideas we need to employ to keep our people here,” he said. Johnson said that, as someone who just recently graduated from Suffolk County Community College, very few young people who when they graduate say they will buy a house and remain on Long Island, but instead say they will leave. “I’ve spoken to people in the district who have not only been here for years, but families have been for years, who are saying they need to leave Long Island as soon as possible,” he said. He said his plan includes taking vacant or derelict homes that go through the demolition process in towns and instead remake and use them to house people. He said he would create a lottery system for these homes, where those would be responsible for certain costs based on their income.

SWR Students/ Parents Call for Gov. to Allow Larger Graduations BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A small number of students and parents from Shoreham-Wading River High School stood outside the driveway to the high school June 13 saying they should be able to walk together as a class in graduation. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed an executive order June 7 that allowed districts to have in-person socially distanced graduations for up to 150 people after June 26. SWR’s graduation class currently sits at 204, and protesters said it would take several ceremonies if each graduate were to bring two or more family members. In a letter released June 8 and included in the June 11 issue of the Village Beacon Record, SWR Superintendent Gerard Poole has asked

DA Indicts Mount Sinai Man in $500,000 Ponzi Scheme

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A Mount Sinai man was arrested and indicted Friday, June 12, for perpetuating a Ponzi scheme that defrauded over $500,000 from investors, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said. District Attorney Tim Sini (D) said in a release that Craig L. Clavin, 61, of Mount Sinai, with his company Lighthouse Futures Ltd. allegedly solicited investments into an investment fund called the Lighthouse Futures Commodity Pool, managed by the company, which would participate in the commodities market. The DA said Clavin would then promise investors the guaranteed return of their investment in full by the end of each year with an option to roll the funds over into the next year. “As with any Ponzi scheme, this was a scam built on greed and deceit,” Sini said. “The defendant bilked his own friends and associates out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, promising to turn their hard-earned savings into solid investments. Instead he used some of their money to further the scheme, and used the rest to line his own pockets.” The DA also alleged that between 2012 and 2017, Clavin received in excess of $500,000 from investors for the purpose of investing the funds into commodities. Clavin allegedly misappropriated the majority of those funds for his personal and unrelated business use, including making payments on his credit cards, student loans, insurance and everyday expenses. Clavin then allegedly concealed his theft by fabricating documents and otherwise representing to the investors that they

were earning “dividends” and profits on their investments. At least between 2013 and 2016, Clavin allegedly used money from investors to pay back the funds to other investors, misrepresenting that the funds were “returns” on their investments. The indictment comes after a DA-led investigation that ran in conjunction with U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and National Futures Association investigations. The parallel investigation by the CFTC resulted in an action to sue Clavin and Lighthouse that was filed yesterday in United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Clavin was issued a summons on that case Thursday, June 11. Clavin was arraigned yesterday by Suffolk County Supreme Court Justice Richard Ambro and was released. He is due back in court June 29. Attorney information for Clavin was not yet released as of Friday, June 12, and the accused could not be immediately reached for comment. Clavin has been previously named in a past TBR News Media article as an owner of Billie’s 1890 Saloon in Port Jefferson. The building is now owned by the Phillips family, the original owners of the bar and grill. The case is being prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Yana G. Knutson, of the Financial Investigations & Money Laundering Bureau. Sini urged anyone who believes he or she is a victim of this scheme to call the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office’s Financial Investigations & Money Laundering Bureau at 631-853-4232.

Town Brookhaven Says Pools Will Remain Closed for Forseeable Future Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) recent announcement that the state would allow public pools to reopen at the discretion of local municipalities was received as good news for residents in Suffolk County who rely on such facilities for recreational use and to cool off the summer heat. For local town governments, they will have to consider not only the safety of patrons but also whether they still have the resources in place to operate their pools. Two weeks ago, in a joint press release, town supervisors from Babylon, Brookhaven, Islip, Smithtown and Huntington said they would close their pools to avoid further potential coronavirus spread. Since then, at least two municipalities on the North Shore may be reconsidering their initial decision. Huntington spokesperson Lauren Lembo said in a statement that it is something the town “has been discussing after the successful reopening of the beaches.” At this time, the town hasn’t officially announced anything on pools reopening yet, but Lembo added that a safety plan and staffing resources are currently being assessed.

Huntington town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) also weighed in. “Based on the successful phased reopening of our beaches with new safety measures in place, we are more confident now that we can provide an equally safe and fun experience at the Dix Hills Pool this summer, which will be open for our summer camps,” he said in a statement. “We are considering plans to open the pool to residents only in the coming weeks.” Brookhaven’s public pools will remain closed, according to town spokesperson Kevin Molloy. Though the town’s spray parks will reopen later this month. In Smithtown, spokesperson Nicole Garguilo said officials want to see the number of COVID-19 cases in the town continue to decrease before they make any potential decisions. “We want that metric to continue to go down —there is a lot involved in reopening our pools,” she said. “If it is safe enough, we would consider it.” There are a number of issues they would have to address. Smithtown’s three public pools are all located at Smithtown Landing Country Club. Garguilo said in addition to implementing the proper safety precautions they would need to assess if they still have the available resources

pools,” she said. “We might have enough staff for only two pools.” Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, said municipalities will have to go about their reopenings differently. “Not all pools have the same footprint, some have more space than others,” she said. “To keep people safe, towns might go to reduced occupancy.” Nachman said there is no evidence that COVID-19 can spread to people through the water used in pools. Proper operation and disinfection should kill the virus that causes COVID-19. Despite that, the infectious disease expert reiterated that patrons still need to proceed with caution. “If you’re with your family, stay together, spread yourself out from others and stay six feet apart. Do not crowd around the pool,” she said. “If you’re sick or feel sick do not come to a public pool.” Nachman also mentioned that if you plan on bringing food to be careful, as it is another source of infection. “Everyone has to do their part, we are all part of community protection,” she said.

New Bench at Miller Place Academy Building Reveals Generations of History BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Evelyn Wheeler Cramer. The name now adorns a bench outside the Miller Place Academy Free Library in recognition of a woman who passed away in 2017 at the age of 93, who had long shown care for one of the few lingering historical institutions of the North Shore and Miller Place. It’s also significant, not just because of her passing, but because she had been a part of the two-story, white facade structure for close to a century. Thomas Cramer, 66, Evelyn’s son, said that after his mother died they asked people to send e digital.donations to the library in lieu of flowers. He also inherited stock in the corporate nonprofit that runs it. Using donations, he bought the bench he said cost about $1,000 and laid bricks, which he had leftover at his own house, as a platform for the bench. “My mother went to school there when the school district rented it for a while,” Cramer said. “I have quite a history with it, but it’s pretty much the way it’s always been.” The location is considered a free library, meaning membership does not depend on people paying municipal library taxes. In fact, the location and the people who run both the library

and maintain the building reveal a much stronger sense of old-time spirit. There are no computers inside, and instead volunteer librarians run everything off the Dewey Decimal System along with a card catalogue. The inside smells of old wood and dusty tomes. The place is even heated during the cold months the old-fashioned way, with a large black iron stove in the center of the space. It is the only source of heat for the entire building. It occupies a unique space in Miller Place history. Built in 1834, the building provided secondary education that was not yet provided by New York State. Funds were raised by subscription, and students came from all over Long Island. Both boys and girls participated. Once New York began providing secondary education, the student numbers declined and the academy was closed in 1868. While in 1894 the academy was used as a public school because the original one-room schoolhouse was in disrepair, it would later be used as a Sunday school for the Mount Sinai Congregational Church, a polling location and a forum for people to speak on various topics. Several notable people spoke there, including Martha Wentworth Suffern, the city vice chair to the suffrage party, who spoke to 80 people on women’s suffrage before they got the right to vote in 1920.

In 1934, members of the academy held their centennial celebration, where two notable old families of the North Shore were present in Corinne M. (Davis) Tooker of Port Jefferson and Elihu S. Miller of Wading River. The Miller Place Academy is still operated by the descendants of those venerable families who bought shares to construct the building in 1834. The free library currently occupies it as a separate entity and though it’s open on weekends and hosts school trips and children reading times, there are concerns of a decline in the number of patrons. But for Cramer, and for the many trustees who run both the nonprofit that oversees the building and the library itself, modern challenges and a declining number of patrons and the constant need for volunteers means the stewards now have to think about the future in ways they may not have before. Richard Gass, the president of the board of trustees for the academy and a member on the free library board, has been involved for over 30 years, longer if you consider him helping his parents when they were both actively involved. The free library was opened in 1938. Since then, it has been in continuous operation, and last year almost 4,000 books were circulated,

according to the library. Volunteers do everything from preparing books to chopping wood for the iron stove. Books are replenished by subscriptions to book clubs and donation gifts from other libraries; but volunteers are all retired, and the academy board president said it has been hard to attract younger volunteers. Gass’ mother and father Margaret and Richard Gass, had long been stewards of the place as well. They helped establish community events such as an art and craft show that lasted for nearly 20 years up until the early 1990s. Such an event occupied not just the academy’s front lawn but also neighboring lawns as well. Once Gass’ father grew too old to handle that event, it stopped, and other than biannual book sales, the lack of community participation has helped the library inch toward obscurity. But for the families that still live in the community and love the academy building, that simply cannot happen, if not for the sake of the community’s heritage but for the community at large. Cramer, who when he was 16 helped do an Eagle Scout project to beautify the front of the building with two large trees, now cut down, said there’s something special about the place. “As kids, we always went up there to the library,” Cramer said. “It’s not quite Comsewogue or Port Jeff library. It’s just books, maybe not the newest books, but books. It’s unique.” Gass said there are certainly issues with trying to modernize. While Cramer said he plans to create a website for the location, there comes a point when modernization eclipses the historical nature of a place. Should they look to install a new heating system or keep with the old? Should they find more uses for the building other than the library, or would that hurt its historical pedigree? Those are questions the academy trustees continue to ask. “Some people love the idea of sitting in a chair, enjoying the smell of wood smoke and old books,” Gass said. “Other people complain about all those same elements. You have to really love it, but if you don’t it’s not the place for you.”

Protesters Call for Action Along Route 25A in Rocky Point BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Well over 100 peaceful protesters lined Route 25A in Rocky Point June 12, calling for an end to police brutality and more in the wake of Minneapolis man George Floyd’s killing in police custody May 25. A number of area locals and other Long Island residents crowded the sidewalk in front of the Kohl’s shopping center. Suffolk County police were present, mainly asking protesters to keep off the road for safety reasons. A diverse crowd of multiple races and ages shouted slogans such as “black lives matter,” and “I can’t breathe,” also the last words of Floyd and Eric Garner, who was killed during a police chokehold on Staten Island in 2014. Several passing cars honked their horns in support. Jim Sweeney, a Selden resident, said the protests today have shown much more diversity than those in the 1960s during the civil rights movement, though so many of the problems remain the

same as they were over half a century since. “Everyone wants to say it’s one bad cop, it’s one bad cop, but there were four cops who killed George Floyd, there were supervisors who falsified the report, there was a medical examiner who tried to say it wasn’t murder — how did Floyd run into seven bad people in one instance?” Sweeney said. “If Floyd was white, he

wouldn’t have even been handcuffed.” Other protesters said they have been calling for an end to black oppression for many years. “I’m a privileged white woman, who no matter what obstacles in my life I have been able to overcome them, but I can’t say the same for my black brothers and sisters, so I want to stand here in support of them,” said local resident Mary Cappasso. While many residents wrote on social media that they feared violence from the protests, all still remained peaceful. “We’re protesting because black Americans deserve the same rights that everyone else al-

ready has and they’ve been oppressed too long, it’s time to speak up,” said Nikita Narsingh, of Mount Sinai. “If there’s any time it’s now.” Sound Beach resident Emily Marciano came to the protest with her son, Dontae. She is white, while her son is black. She said it’s systemic racism as a whole that needs reform, not just the police. “I’ve also been told by someone in the area, ‘You don’t shoot deer, you do black people,’” she said. “It scares me when my son goes out, wondering if he could come home or he could not come home, if someone sees him and doesn’t like the color of his skin.”

are blind or visually impaired, and these signs have become a vital component to their safety and ability to navigate the building. Dominic has been in Scouting since 2016. He began his Scouting career as a member of Pack 64 from Coram, bridged over to Coram BSA Troop 64 and then switched to Troop 1776 from Mount Sinai in 2017. As a member of his troops, Dominic served as an assistant patrol leader, chaplain aide and troop guide. Dominic has earned the Arrow of Light, Parvuli Dei and NOA Camping awards. He was also recently elected to become a member of the Order of the Arrow, the Scouts’ National Honor Society, and he is now a member of the National Eagle Scout Association. Dominic is a home-schooled student going into ninth grade. In the future, he plans to attend college and one day either become a veterinarian, own an animal sanctuary and become a wildlife rehabilitator or something business related. In his free time, Dominic enjoys hiking, animals, reading, volunteering, bowling competitively and being with friends and family. Once he turns 14, he wants to find a part-time job.

On May 27, 2020, Dominic Passaro, of Mount Sinai BSA Troop 1776 earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank bestowed upon a Scout, making this feat at the young age of 13. To earn Scouting’s highest award, Dominic had to earn 21 merit badges, serve as a leader in his troop and complete a community service project. Dominic went above and beyond, completing 46 merit badges, earning him a gold and silver Eagle palm. Dominic’s service project took place at the Guide Dog Foundation in Smithtown. Leading a team of adults, Scouts and friends, Dominic provided the foundation with much needed Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant braille signs created from scratch and installed throughout the foundation’s breeding and development center building. In total, 25 signs were created and installed. As an added deliverable, Dominic’s team also provided 10 magnetic vinyl informational signs, 12 sign holders of various sizes and several fire exit maps. The foundation has many volunteers, workers and patrons who

Editorial Letters to the Editor Cheers To Fathers and More TBR News Media editorial staff share memories of their dads and other special people for Father’s Day.

Rita Egan — Editor

As someone whose parents separated when she was 9 years old and moved in with her grandparents, I’m an example of a village raising a child. From an early age, I realized that relatives and even friends’ parents can play a role in a young person’s life. I was fortunate that my new friends and their parents made my transition to life in Smithtown an easier one. There were the Irvolinos, the D’Agostinos, Mrs. Naseem, and later in high school, the Juans, the DeNobregas and the Castros who always made me feel welcome in their homes, even at family gatherings. I frequently was in the Irvolinos’ pool and on their boat. The D’Agostinos introduced me to the beauty of Head of the River and would take me with the family to the Jersey Shore. And of course, there were the rides many parents gave me when it was too dark for my grandfather to drive. One day on Fire Island, my friend Nancy and I were knocked down by a huge wave. One second I’m hitting my head against something hard, and the next I was grabbed out of the water by Mr. Irvolino. He had me in his right hand and Nancy in his left. I will be forever grateful for my village. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and a belated Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, too.

Kyle Barr — Editor

When my parents call me on the weekend, we can go through the platitudes of normal life: How is your job, how’s Long Island, how’s your brother? Dad, you can make comments about how I continue to leave my room a FEMA-designated disaster area. You can talk about my habits of leaving my clothing in the laundry bin after washing them instead of putting it in drawers. Then we can get into the heavier stuff of national politics and local happenings. We can talk about the issues, and I can get angry and you can deflect. And I can’t seem to stop and ask you how you’re really doing. You moved away, and I hope you’re doing OK. I hope the pandemic and quarantine has not made you so reclusive you can’t talk to anybody except mom’s parents. I hope the days you spend in retirement allow you to explore things you haven’t necessarily had the opportunity to. I can ask only so much of you. I can ask you to be patient until I find time to see you. Until then, I can enjoy those platitudes and our conversations.

David Luces — Reporter

When it comes to Father’s Day, I immediately think of my uncle and my late grandpa, two men I’ve been lucky to have in my life. As a young kid, they were a constant fixture, always there to lend me encouragement and support. Whether it was a Little League baseball game or a band recital, they were there. Sometimes, it would just be us slouched on the couch spending hours watching a Knicks game or WWE professional wrestling. My younger self didn’t know any better, but now looking back I think the one thing I take away from those experiences is to be present and to enjoy those moments with the people you love. My grandpa passed away before he could see me graduate high school and college, though I know he would be proud of my accomplishments and the person I’ve become. My uncle and family have played a big part in that. So when I think of this Father’s Day, I think of spending time with my uncle, maybe having a couple of beers and reminiscing of past times with my grandpa. But most importantly, we’ll be with family to make new memories together.

Long Islanders Working Together Throughout the current crisis, we have all joined together to win the war that is currently facing our state and our nation. As Long Islanders, we have displayed our collective strength for the world to see over the past few months and it should be a great source of pride for all in our community. But this unprecedented situation has also provided us with a clear lesson that, while we were able to persevere due to the spirit of our essential workers, many of the brave men and women on the front lines of this fight were without the tools they needed because our state was unable to provide for itself. This was without a doubt no one’s

fault and now is not a time to assign blame. Rather this is an opportunity to take the steps needed to ensure our state and our region reexamines how we can become more self-sufficient and how we can get back to putting Long Island First. That is only achievable if we commit to a renewed sense of Common Sense Government that makes the investments in our residents that will deliver a better, more productive future for all of us. That includes smart growth in our manufacturing and major improvements in our infrastructure so that we — as a region —are self-sufficient in times of need. These will lead to job growth for

our workers, who have displayed how they are ready to grow. While nothing could fully prepare us all for the COVID-19 crisis, it is critical that we take steps now to ensure we are in the future. I invite everyone in our community to visit my website at www.mariomattera2020. com for more information on my Common Sense Government agenda. Working together, we are getting through this and, working together, we will bring a brighter future to our region to put Long Island First.

Forgive Us Our Press Passes My title comes from a book found in my research in the Melville Library at Stony Brook University some years ago when I served as a reporter to the Three Village Herald. Now, we of the Fourth Estate are seeing a lot of so-called fake news and lately it doesn’t seem to be showing an early end. We journalists, and especially reporters, are, to governance, a troublesome lot —whether it be the so-called witch hunts proclaimed by President Donad Trump (R) or the most controversial stories in our nation’s purview. Still, we find that journalists must tell the truth for a living, and this is as it should

be. For in this age of failure — the socalled digital age — we discover ourselves embedded in the most unlikely places. It is, indeed, as dangerous work as firefighters, law enforcement and even hospital workers. But somebody has to do it. And we do. Indeed, the most unlikely people find themselves hounded by our snooping; they are culpable, most times. We therefore need to be forgiven. The five Ws and the H (who, what, where, when, why and how) are visible all over the world now, as a spark on this paper. For the world is in trouble, now more than ever! So we reporters go forth to find redemptive stories that tell of sad, and glad, tidings

worldwide. The instantaneous we discover is just at our fingertips, and we are always happy whenever we find occasion to rejoice along with the truth, so says St. Paul of Tarsus, perhaps the original reporter and precursor of the Bible’s New Testament. Finally, we find it our utmost duty to be there on the scene to respond to even death as danger — especially in foreign countries, wherein journalists are often made to hang out to dry for their investigations. So forgive us our press passes, but investigate we do and we must. Someone has to get straight the record; and it might as well be us! George J. Lindner Port Jefferson Station

Showing Support for Those with Lung Cancer During this challenging time, it’s important for all those living with lung disease, including COVID-19 and lung cancer, to feel hope, optimism and support amidst the pandemic. About every five minutes in the U.S., a woman is diagnosed with lung cancer and the disease represents more than one in five female cancer deaths.

June 14-20 is Turquoise Takeover, and I’ll be wearing turquoise — the signature color of the American Lung Association’s LUNG FORCE initiative — to raise awareness about lung cancer. I hope you’ll join me and help our nation stand with patients together against this terrible disease, especially as many facing

lung cancer may be experiencing added difficulties due to the pandemic. Visit www.lungforce.org to learn how you can help defeat lung cancer. April Plank, DNP The Center for Lung Cancer Screening and Prevention Stony Brook Cancer Center

Opinion

Important Messages Hidden in the Alphabet

s we approach Father’s Day, I can’t help thinking that the creators of the alphabet hid important lessons in plain sight when they put the letters “n” and “o” between the letters “m” and “p.” The letter “m” starts the Latin word “mater,” which means mother. The letter “p” starts the word “pater,” which, also in Latin, means father. Between mom and dad, then, resides the simple, D. None effective and importof the above ant word “no.” BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Parents who aren’t on the same page about decisions will ﬁnd children who don’t believe a “no” ever means anything because they will run to the other parent to

ﬁnd someone who will render a “no” from the former parent meaningless. Parents need the word “no” to unite them, bringing together the “m” and “p” that makes it possible to provide consistent parenting advice. When a “no” from dad is also a “no” from mom, children can’t divide and conquer with their parents. Now, valuing and appreciating the word “no” doesn’t necessarily mean parents should say “no” to everything. In fact, when mom and dad agree on something for their children, they can and should celebrate the opportunities they urge their progeny to pursue. When our children were young, we found ourselves falling into the repeated “no” pattern, mostly to protect our children. “Don’t go in the street, don’t put that toy in your mouth, don’t grab that dog’s tail, etc.” While all of those rules are valid and valuable, they also can create a culture of “no” that constantly reminds children of their limitations, giving them the equivalent of a Greek chorus of “no”

that follows them around, preventing them from exploring the world or from considering opportunities and risks worth taking because they expect a giant “NO!” sign to appear in their closet, under their bed, at the entrance to their classroom or in the backyard. My wife and I put considerable energy into redirecting our children, rather than giving them a negative answer. We suggested alternatives to their suggestion or even, at times, a compromise answer that wasn’t a negative so much as it was a reshaping of an impulse. On an elemental level, the letters “n” and “o” also seem so apt for the world between mom and dad. After all, N for nitrogen represents 78 percent of the atmosphere while O for oxygen represents 21 percent, which means that, between the letter placeholder for mom and dad resides the letters for 99 percent of the atmosphere of the earth. The elements nitrogen and oxygen also, like some families, exist in paired form as

molecules instead of single elements. These molecules float around in the atmosphere as a duo, with a strong covalent bond keeping the orbiting electron shells full. For children, saying “no” to their parents starts early as a way to fight back against the world of “no” while they drift into the world of the terrible twos or, in our children’s case, the threadbare threes. When these children are caught between their mother and father, they may find that their only defense against a disagreeable world is to hold up their own “no” shield. That small word, however, is important to change the world as well, because children who can defend their “no” answer to parents can also refuse to accept problems they see in the world. Instead, they can defy policies or ideas that rankle them. Saying “no” to anything aids cognitive development and, as it turns out, is good preparation for parenting. It has to be true because it’s right there, hidden in place sight, in the alphabet.

more ominous than the pain of his sole being sewn up. If we begged, he would show us the jagged scar, evidence of his exciting youth. What would he say about living through the present pandemic? It still feels like a dream, this novel coronavirus, from which we will shortly awake. I pinch myself, but I know I am not dreaming. For sure these times require daring just to go shopping in the supermarket, and judging by the amount of media coverage, are also riveting. For many, sheltering in place has proven to be most difﬁcult. Those who like to be in motion constantly are now restrained to their few rooms and a daily walk. Relationships with spouses or others sharing the house or apartment may have become strained to the breaking point. In Wuhan, China, made famous as the origin of COVID-19 for example, suits for divorce have increased appreciably compared to the preceding year. There has been an uptick in the use of alcohol and drugs in the U.S. by those feeling isolated or lonely or simply in limbo from their normal lives. Depression is an increasing complaint.

Yet others, at the same time, have found the pandemic a time for reevaluation of their lives. They have slowed down from their frenetic pace, deepened relationships with partners and children and colleagues, and if they have been fortunate enough not to have anyone fall ill, and to keep their jobs, perhaps have seen a new way occasionally to work: remotely from home or elsewhere in the world. They have probably saved some money by not venturing out to shop, dine or vacation and maybe have enjoyed some healthy home cooking. There is a better prospect ahead. After all, we are in Phase Two now. It appears that Phase Three is on the immediate horizon. By wearing masks in public, practicing social distancing and avoiding crowded indoor settings, and by sheltering those who would be most vulnerable, we seem now to be co-existing with the virus, at least until a vaccine becomes available or sufﬁcient herd immunity evolves. How would my dad tell this story? I believe he would share his experience as a great adventure, even as he would hold up his scar.

Father’s Day and COVID-19

unday is Father’s Day. When I think of my father, one of the most immediate memories I have of him is of his telling us stories. He loved to talk about his childhood days growing up on a dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. One of nine children, he distinguished himself with his claim as “the middle child,” and made his adventures sound daring and riveting. Somehow he Between and his siblings always survived, you and me always came BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF through relatively unscathed. And the conclusions to the stories were inevitably happy ones. For example, there was the time the six boys climbed to the peak of the hill behind

their farmhouse, arranged themselves onto an oversized sled and careened down on the hard-packed snow. It was great fun until they saw a train in the distance coming along the track at the bottom of the mountain. Their oldest brother, sitting in the front, quickly calculated the speed of the sled and the speed of the train and shouted a command to those behind him: “Jump off to the left when I count to three.” They obeyed and huddled together watching, as down below the rushing train crushed the sled crossing in its path. Then there was the day my dad and a couple of his schoolmates climbed atop the one-room schoolhouse roof and jumped down in front of their young teacher just as she was arriving for the day. She screamed, which was satisfying to his buddies, but my dad also screamed as, barefoot, he landed on a glass shard. His father, who was of necessity the “emergency room doctor” for his family, isolated as they were in the rural farmland, stitched his foot and spooked him by saying that he would bear the scar of that misadventure “all the rest of his life.” To my young father, that sounded
