Concerns for monkeypox and COVID-19 build for the fall

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The reported rate of positive tests for COVID-19 is likely well below the actual infection rate, particularly for the highlytransmissible BA.5 strain of Omicron, health care officials said. “I expect that we’re at least double, and we’re probably significantly higher than double,” said Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. “I, like many others, am quite concerned for the fall and winter.” Indeed, with positive results for PCR tests in the range of 10 to 12% during the summer, the percentage of people who might contract the most infectious variant of the virus yet could surge in the colder months, when students return to school and people spend more time indoors. The good news so far is that the number of people who have been hospitalized with COVID has stayed relatively steady at Stony Brook University Hospital, at around 50. Over the past few weeks, the number hasn’t dipped below 40 or gone above 75, which means that the current infections generally aren’t causing hospitalizations, Nachman said. “While COVID-19 rates may be higher than reported, cases are less severe than they were at

earlier stages of the pandemic and hospitalizations are fewer,” Dr. Gregson Pigott, commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of Health Service, explained in an email. “Vaccinations play a large role in the reduction of hospitalizations.” The number of people hospitalized with COVID on Long Island averages about 450 per day, which is down from 4,000 in April of 2020 and 2,200 in January of 2022, according to the county Department of Health. Suffolk County hosted a back to school test kit distribution event on Tuesday at the H. Lee Dennison Building for parents and residents.

Raising awareness of monkeypox

At the same time, government and health care officials are dedicating more resources to combat the threat from monkeypox, a virus with symptoms including fever, headaches, exhaustion and a rash that can last two to four weeks. In Suffolk County, the number of confirmed cases has climbed to 22 as of the beginning of August, according to Department of Health officials. Working with Northwell Health and Stony Brook University, the county has been providing monkeypox vaccinations. The county expects to get more vaccines later this month, although the demand continues to exceed the supply. Governor Kathy Hochul (D) declared a state of emergency on July 29 over the outbreak,

which will allow a faster response and enhance the distribution of vaccines in the state. The governors of California and Illinois have also declared states of emergency over a virus that is rarely fatal but is painful and can cause scarring. The more vulnerable populations include pregnant women, young children, people who are immunocompromised and individuals who have a history of eczema. Nachman said the response from the governor was a “way of getting ahead” of the spread of the virus. The state of emergency “raises everyone’s concern,” Nachman said. “When you go to a local physician, more people are thinking, looking and testing [for monkeypox]. Testing is critical” to confirm cases and to reduce the spread. Vaccinations, which involve getting two shots that are four weeks apart, can accelerate the immune response, Nachman said. Stony Brook hopes in the next few weeks to work on a National Institutes of Health-funded clinical trial with children, pregnant and postpartum women on a potential treatment for the virus. Spread during physical contact, the large majority of monkeypox cases have occurred among men who have been intimate with other men. Pigott has been working closely with the community to promote prevention efforts and vaccinations. He spoke on Monday at a forum hosted by the LGBT Network, where he said gay or bisexual men in their 20s and 30s were at the highest risk.

Other viruses

In addition to COVID concerns for the fall, Nachman explained that other seasonal respiratory viruses have become more prevalent and problematic through the summer. Flu has historically been a winter virus, starting in late November or early December and ebbing in its infectiousness around March. In 2022, the flu season stretched through June. At the same time, respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, typically starts in November and lasts through February. “We had RSV all summer long,” Nachman

said. “We never had a break.” Nachman is concerned that the overlap among the viruses with infection rates may increase at the same time. “I worry about the juxtaposition with other respiratory pathogens” that have exceeded their usual seasonal limitations, Nachman added. Those other viruses are highly contagious, but were limited in their spread when people were wearing masks. Once people stopped taking precautions for COVID, these other viruses also spread. “No one had been exposed, and it was like a match to tinder,” Nachman said. “It spread through the population” after few people had contracted these illnesses. Health care providers urged people to take several steps to protect themselves, their families, and their communities. “If you’re sick, please don’t go to work,” Nachman said. ‘If your child is sick, please don’t send them to school.” People also need to practice safe cough techniques. If they need to cough or sneeze, they should minimize the number of aerosolized particles by covering their nose and mouth or coughing into their clothing.

A plea for proper vaccinations

With a reluctance to return to the widespread use of masks or other restrictions that might limit the spread of COVID, health care officials continue to urge people to benefit from the protection vaccines provide. Indeed, most of the people who have required more extensive medical care at Stony Brook University Hospital have not been fully vaccinated. Some of those who have required medical attention received a single dose of a vaccine over two years ago, which is effectively not vaccinated, she said. Nachman expects that COVID vaccinations may become required as they are for measles mumps and rubella and other diseases for students to attend class in person. “I do see in the future that will happen,” Nachman said. “Not vaccinating hurts the child and the entire community.”

Local residents rally to resist Brookhaven redistricting plans

BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Dozens of local residents turned out on Tuesday, Aug. 2, at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai to voice their concerns over the proposed redistricting plans for the Brookhaven Town Council. The meeting was called by the Brookhaven Redistricting Committee, which has recently drawn public scrutiny over proposed maps that suggest significant changes to Council Districts 1 and 2. In an attempt to clear up any confusion surrounding two existing maps circulating on the town’s website, members of the committee held their own deliberations on this matter. George Hoffman, a Setauket resident and member of the redistricting committee, questioned the legitimacy of the draft maps. Under these proposed boundaries, Council Districts 1 and 2 would see significant changes, as half of Port Jefferson Station/ Terryville would be swapped for half of Mount Sinai. During the meeting, the committee announced that it had not yet met with the mapmaker or had any discussion on the maps. To clear up confusion, the board voted unanimously to designate the existing maps as unofficial. “We don’t have any official maps before us,” Hoffman said. “Every map that’s submitted, either by our attorney or by the public, is going to be given equal weight.”

TOWN

Public comments

Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook), who currently represents Council District 1, stated that the intended purpose of redistricting is to rebalance council districts based on changes in population. Because his district does not need to adjust for population, he said he was “mystified” when he saw the draft proposals. “It’s just very disappointing to me to see a map like this get created because I think that people more and more have a sense of cynicism toward their government,” the councilmember said. “There’s a feeling that government serves its own needs more than the needs of the residents, and these maps, to me, don’t seem sensitive to what communities are and what communities can achieve when they work together.” Leaders representing various community organizations addressed the committee during the public hearing. In his opposition to the proposed maps, Brad Arrington, vice president and corresponding secretary of the Mount Sinai Civic Association, defended the preservation of Mount Sinai as a contiguous community. “Our community does not want to be split,”

‘These maps, to me, don’t seem sensitive to what communities are and what communities can achieve when they work together.’ — Jonathan Kornreich he said. “Mount Sinai is a community of interest. It is a unified community. And from being on the civic association for 17 years, I can say that we are a very cohesive community.” Joan Nickeson, a Terryville resident and community liaison for the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Chamber of Commerce, said the proposed maps would divide the community if approved. “The proposals that were put forth that belong to your mapmaker that you have not yet met cleave our advocacy power with the chamber,” Nickeson said. “They cleave our school district buildings from the other school district buildings, neighbors from neighbors.” She added, “It is unconscionable that these maps got out into the public without

the public being able to ascertain where they came from.” Salvatore Pitti, vice president of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association, considered the proposed redistricting scheme for Council Districts 1 and 2 nonsensical. According to him, the plans undermine the years of close coordination between the civic association and its representative on the town council. “It has taken us years to get us to where we are, and now we’re going to start from scratch,” he said. Referring to the draft maps, he added, “It makes no sense. It does not work for our community.” Francis Gibbons, a resident of Terryville and member of the PJS/Terryville Civic

Association, discussed how residents of Port Jefferson Station and Terryville have coordinated their efforts in service to the greater community. “We have people that have worked together for years to make our communities whole,” he said. “And you think tearing them apart is a good thing?” Ira Castell, a resident of Port Jefferson Station and member of PJSTCA, referred to Port Jefferson Station/Terryville as a community of interest with longstanding ties to Council District 1. “It is one of the organizing principles of any redistricting effort to avoid cracking and to unite and retain communities of interest,” he said. “A community of interest is a neighborhood, community or group of people who have common policy concerns and who would benefit from being maintained in a single district.” He added, “Segmenting our community, we will no longer have a united voice to advance our story with one councilperson who represents all my neighbors, with whom I share a common purpose.” Nancy Marr, president of the League of Women’s Voters of Suffolk County, reiterated these objections. “People who share a common history and are connected by common institutions such as community libraries or civic associations should be in the same council district,” she said. The redistricting process remains ongoing. The next meeting will be held Friday, Aug. 5 at 6 p.m. at the Setauket Neighborhood House, 95 Main St., East Setauket.

Kornreich meets with Scout Troop 229 at Brookhaven Town Hall

Boy Scouts from Troop 229 in Selden visited Brookhaven Town Hall to meet with Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) and satisfy requirements for the “Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge.” For this badge, each boy scout is required to choose an issue that is important to their community and interview a member of the local government responsible for addressing the issue. The Boy Scouts chose to interview Kornreich and brought up some very important community issues and concerns regarding littering, recycling, redevelopment, dilapidated parks and inflation. The councilmember also gave the scouts a tour of Town Hall. “I always enjoy meeting with scouts and was particularly impressed by the thoughtfulness and sophistication of the questions and observations they shared,” Kornreich said. “I was encouraged by their community spirit and have every confidence that these scouts will be ready to be the civic leaders of tomorrow.”

(Part II) One-on-one with Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine

BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) has encountered several hurdles throughout his tenure. In Part II of this two-part series, he forecasts the upcoming redistricting process for the town council, highlights the challenges of offering adequate public transportation to Brookhaven residents and shares the lessons learned from his decades in public office.

If we don’t do that, how does that affect the other districts? Because it’s like a Rubik’s Cube: You have to turn all the sides to get it perfect. I want to hear their explanation and I certainly want to listen to why they thought that was the better choice. I want to listen to that, and I’m not about to rush to judgment on anything without hearing a full explanation, and I’m sure those issues will be raised at our public hearing.

What are your thoughts on the state What are your expectations for of public transit in your township? I am a huge supporter of public transportation the upcoming redistricting of the because there are a lot of people that depend on Brookhaven Town Council? it. The bus system in this county is so broken. I don’t expect many changes whatsoever. I don’t expect it to be controversial. There will be some people who are partisan who will want to make it controversial, but it will not be partisan. I expect it will be done fairly. I do not expect many changes at all. I do expect that the minority-majority district stays together, and that’s the district that includes North Bellport and Gordon Heights, which are the two major minority areas in our town, as well as Coram. So I don’t expect many changes at all. The only changes that would have to be made are for the shift in population that the [2020] Census would project. Now I don’t have anything to do with redistricting. We have a Redistricting Committee and we are waiting for the Redistricting Committee to come and offer choices, which will be discussed by everyone on the Town Board.

But the council will be voting on the maps, correct? At some point, but I’m not going to vote for any major changes. I expect there to be only minor changes as reflected by a shift in population. And I do expect to keep the 4th [Council] District together, which includes Gordon Heights and North Bellport, so that those major minority communities continue to have the opportunity for representation.

In draft maps circulated by the Redistricting Committee, there is a proposal to split the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville community, along with Mount Sinai, between two council districts. Would you vote under any scenario to separate those communities of interest?

There might be a scenario in which I would take a look at that. You’re asking a simple question to a complicated answer. There are other factors that you have to take into account, such as keeping a minority district intact. The second district, which is represented by Jane Bonner [R-Rocky Point], has to grow. Where does that grow? How does that affect things?

We don’t get even half of the subsidy that Nassau County gets. It’s just incredible, the lack of coordination between buses and trains, which is so needed because not everyone owns a car or wants to use a car.

Do you believe that the Long Island Rail Road is doing enough to expand services into Brookhaven?

I live in the largest town [by area] and the second most populous town in the State of New York, and yet it is served by 19th-century technology: diesel, which is a polluting, dirty fuel. I have been beating and beating on this issue since the day I came here. We should have had electrification of all of our lines much earlier than this and we’re still arguing over it. Every year we argue that, the price goes up. So we’re stuck with diesel, which is a polluting fuel. Other than a mile on the main line in Ronkonkoma, all of my three lines — the southern, the main line and the northern line — are all diesel. Electric ends at Huntington, and from Huntington to Port Jeff it’s all diesel. Electric ends at Ronkonkoma and everything east is diesel. Electric ends on the Montauk line at Babylon, and everything east is diesel. The investment has been skewed away from this Island. Our voice has not been raised, there hasn’t been an investment in providing modern technology. And I’m talking about 20th-century technology, which is electric; 21st-century technology is maglev [a train technology supported by magnetic repulsion] … Forget it, they’re not even talking about the future. Most 20th-century technology has bypassed my town because the [Metropolitan Transportation Authority] has not made any investment. All the money seems to be funneled into the City of New York. We have a million-and-a-half people out here in Suffolk County, and that’s wrong. It’s so frustrating. I am passionate about these issues and I am in public office to do something, not to sit here and collect a salary but to do something and to make a change for the better for everyone in this town.

to budgeting, taxation and public greatest setback along the way? I would say that the things I’m proudest of expenditures? I believe there’s a role for public expenditures. I also believe, living as I do on Long Island, that our taxes are way too high and that we have too many levels of government. It’s amazing: If you go elsewhere in the United States, you don’t have all the levels of government that we have here. I’m a great believer in — as much as possible — not raising taxes and being fiscally responsible. Someone said, “Can you sum up your political philosophy?” Yeah, I’m a fiscal conservative, a social moderate and an environmental liberal. It’s really simple. When I arrived, it was no fault of Supervisor [Mark] Lesko [D] or Supervisor [Brian] Foley [D], both of whom I had known for many, many years, that they were caught up in the 2008 recession. Things were bad, the town had taken on debt and we were not viewed as financially stable. When I came [into office], I said, “Let me see the last audit.” The audit had numerous exceptions that pointed out the failings of the town. I worked on that audit and those exceptions to improve our financial condition. And I have to say, I am blessed with a very good finance commissioner, Tamara Branson. She is very, very good, along with a number of other people in the finance department. I worked with them and the following year, the rating agencies gave the town a AAA bond rating and we’ve never had less for as long as I have been supervisor. We’ve always stayed at or below the tax cap and have always tried to limit and look at things on how we could be more efficient in delivering services because there’s a tremendous amount of inefficiency built into governmental services.

are saving as much open space and farmland as possible — both as a [county] legislator and a supervisor — and putting a plan together to preserve the Carmans River Watershed. I view that as a tremendous achievement, not of myself, but something that will endure because it will mean that these areas will not be developed. My greatest disappointment is not getting people to do the right thing, like the MTA with electrification, or the [New York Department of Environmental Conservation] on working with us to strengthen recycling. These are all regulatory things, and we need people to be less regulatory and more innovative in terms of approaching issues such as recycling and mass transit. Also, I have been here for a while and I see the structure of government. Brookhaven would be much better off by itself as a county. To have one level of government to be able to go to and get things accomplished would probably be better, but that’s not practicable and that’s not happening. That being said, you set yourself up, you work at it every day, and hopefully you will make a difference. The biggest thing I can do when I’m eventually retired is to look back upon the town and say, “I left it better than when I found it.”

and energy, you can make a difference, if only incrementally. I am about doing all I can to move Brookhaven forward. I owe it to the people that elected me. There are a lot of bad things about public life, but the great thing is that you meet a lot of great people. You get involved with civics and other organizations; you see people donating their time and energy for the public good; and it’s great to work with people like that. We have a lot of nonprofits and civics that we work with to make this town better. That keeps my motivation going, and I’m just going to continue to do that and focus on the job as supervisor every day I come to work, whether it’s on the small problems or the big problems.

First of all, I’m very honored to be a supervisor and I remind myself every day of what an honor it is to serve the people of Brookhaven, who have been extremely kind to me by electing me by large margins each time I’ve run. They have given me the confidence and the faith to do their work every day. I am so lucky to have the trust and support of the majority of the people in this town. I don’t forget it and I am very grateful for it, so I would say thank you for the opportunity to serve. I hope that those who follow me come with the same passion, commitment and dedication. And I am sure that there are many who came before me who did the same. If we can continue that, our society is going to be a good society and my grandchildren are going to grow up in this town. I am just honored to be here.

What do you consider to be your legacy at Town Hall?

I think it would be embodied in the phrase, “Save what’s left.”

What motivates you to continue your Is there anything else you would like work to this day? I’m motivated because I see that with effort to say to our readers?

Los niños adoptados pueden incluirse en la solicitud como miembros de la familia donde residen. Las solicitudes deben incluir el nombre del niño adoptado y los ingresos de uso personal.

La petición de una conferencia, de ninguna forma, perjudicará o reducirá el derecho a una audiencia justa.

Letters to the Editor One hamlet, one vision, one voice

As a Port Jefferson Station/Terryville hamlet resident for 34 years and the corresponding secretary of the Port Jefferson Station/ Terryville Civic Association, I would like to comment on the record to the Brookhaven Town Redistricting Committee. I have seen the proposed maps in which the PJS/Terryville and Mount Sinai hamlets would be split approximately in half, putting the northern portions of both communities in Council District 1 and the southern portions in CD2. I have strong objections to cutting both these hamlets up, given what we in the PJS/Terryville hamlet have been working on as a uniﬁed group for the redevelopment and improvement of our community. We are one uniﬁed hamlet with one vision for the community and would like to keep it that way for the next 10-year cycle. Many town funds have been spent along with hundreds of hours of community and legislative meetings to develop this vision. This started with the 2007 Comsewogue Hamlet Comprehensive Plan, followed by the 2014 Port Jefferson Station Commercial Hub Study and its follow-up transitoriented development proposals near the Port Jefferson train station. I might add that we are working on the continued improvement of our Train Car Park in Port Jeff Station as well as the Lawrence Aviation‒Suffolk County land bank proposal involving town zoning, etc. We work as one hamlet to organize and advocate for open space, commercial and housing units remaining in their proper areas, while maintaining our residential areas as well. This is best served by having one council district with one elected representative supporting our vision. I ask the redistricting committee to revise its proposal and keep both the Port Jeff Station/ Terryville and Mount Sinai hamlets intact as whole and undivided communities. Keep them as they exist presently. We state proudly that we live in the Brookhaven Hamlet of Port Jefferson Station and Terryville. We want our representative on the council to continue representing our hamlet as a whole, carrying out our joint vision to its completion. Charlie Mcateer Port Jefferson Station

Council districts should not be changed

I would like to commend TBR’s editorial last week, “Push back or be cracked,” in its criticism of the town’s redistricting maps that would remove some of the Mount Sinai community from Council District 2 and put it in Council District 1 and remove portions of Port Jefferson Station/Terryville from CD1 and put it in CD2. The boundaries of the town’s council districts have been in existence, more or less, since 2002 — now 20 years — when the voters of

George Hoffman, above, a member of the Brookhaven Redistricting Committee. Photo courtesy Hoffman

Brookhaven wisely decided to divide the town into individual council districts to improve responsiveness and representation in Town Hall. The proposed cracking of these hamlets runs counter to the original goals of council districts and is unneeded and unwise. The purported maps that are the subject of discussion in this paper’s editorial are questionable to begin with. They were sent to the Redistricting Committee by outside counsel and without any discussion with the members of the Redistricting Committee. I have questioned the validity of the maps and even put forward an unsuccessful motion to suspend discussion on the maps since they were created without any input from the committee. It is important, as your editorial urged, that citizens make their voices heard to both the committee and the Town Board. Otherwise, there is a strong chance that the committee may adopt them. I believe that the six town council districts should stay more or less the same as they are now and that the two council districts that need to be adjusted due to population changes — Council District 2, which is northeastern Brookhaven, and Council District 6, which is southeastern Brookhaven — should be adjusted solely between the two districts as required by statute. George Hoffman Brookhaven Redistricting Committee Member Setauket

The editorial published July 28 in The Port Times Record, “Push back or be cracked,” nailed it! As a resident of Port Jefferson Station since 1972, I applaud your accurate assessment of the Brookhaven Redistricting Committee. It is

as he falsely stated his intentions with regard to Terryville. Lesko even gave the [Port Jefferson Station/Terryville] Civic Association a signed letter conﬁrming his false intentions. What were Lesko’s true intentions? His subsequent actions made it appear he wanted to continue the decades-old Brookhaven practice of making Terryville a dumping ground. When Lesko failed in his attempt, he resigned. What do we have today? The faces are different, but the game appears to be the same. It’s a game that has been played by both major political parties since before I was born. The PJSTCA — along with the Chamber of Commerce — has become too effective, so let’s split them up. We have been told the voting enrollment by party is not out of balance and will not appreciably change. Isn’t redistricting, by

Not a climate change denier

After reading Daniel Dunaief’s opinion piece “What if climate change deniers are wrong?” in the June 23 edition, I spent the next several days pondering the question: Am I a climate change denier? The answer is no. World climate is constantly in ﬂux and has been since the beginning of time. How much, if any, of global sea and air temperature rise is due to human activities makes for one of the great debates of the day, centering on carbon emissions from oil, gas and coal. (I refuse to call these energy sources “fossil” fuels, as they have zero to do with either fossils or dinosaurs.)

SNAP/TANF/FDPIR Households: Households that currently include children who receive the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) but who are not found during the Direct Certification Matching Process (DCMP), or households that currently receive Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) must complete an application listing the child's name, a valid SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number and the signature of an adult household member. Eligibility for free meal benefits based on participation in SNAP, TANF or FDPIR is extended to all children in the household. When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of their children’s eligibility for free meals based on their participation in the SNAP, TANF or the FDPIR programs. No application is necessary if the household was notified by the SFA their children have been directly certified. If the household is not sure if their children have been directly certified, the household should contact the school.

Beginning July 1, 2019, students in New York State that are approved for reduced price meals will receive breakfast and lunch meals at no charge. Nondiscrimination Statement: This explains what to do if you believe you have been treated unfairly. In accordance with federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity. Program information may be made available in languages other than English. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication to obtain program information (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language), should contact the responsible state or local agency that administers the program or USDA’s TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TTY) or contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. To file a program discrimination complaint, a Complainant should complete a Form AD-3027, USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form which can be obtained online at: https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/USDA-OASCR%20P-Complaint-Form-0508-0002-508-11-28-17Fax2Mail.pdf, from any USDA office, by calling (866) 632-9992, or by writing a letter addressed to USDA. The letter must contain the complainant’s name, address, telephone number, and a written description of the alleged discriminatory action in sufficient detail to inform the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights (ASCR) about the nature and date of an alleged civil rights violation. The completed AD-3027 form or letter must be submitted to USDA by: 1.

Other Source Categorical Eligibility: When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of any child’s eligibility for free meals based on the individual child’s designation as Other Source Categorically Eligible, as defined by law. Children are determined Other Source Categorically Eligible if they are Homeless, Migrant, Runaway, A foster child, or Enrolled in Head Start or an eligible pre-kindergarten program.

Be Aware of the World Around You...

If children or households receive benefits under Assistance Programs or Other Source Categorically Eligible Programs and are not listed on the notice of eligibility and are not notified by the School Food Authority of their free meal benefits, the parent or guardian should contact the school or should submit an income application. Other Households: Households with income the same or below the amounts listed above for family size may be eligible for and are urged to apply for free and/or reduced price meals (or free milk). They may do so by completing the application sent home with the letter to parents. One application for all children in the household should be submitted. Additional copies are available at the principal's office in each school. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year to the Assistant Superintendent for Finance & Operations. Please contact Mr. Glen Arcuri at 631-821-8120 with any questions regarding the application process.

Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the School Food Authority if they choose to decline the free meal benefits. Households may apply for benefits at any time throughout the school year. Children of parents or guardians who become unemployed or experience a financial hardship mid-year may become eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk at any point during the school year. For up to 30 operating days into the new school year (or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first) an individual child’s free or reduced price eligibility status from the previous year will continue within the same SFA. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children’s meals must be claimed at the paid rate. Though encouraged to do so, the SFA is not required to send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used for determining eligibility. The names and eligibility status of participants may also be used for the allocation of funds to federal education programs such as Title I and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), State health or State education programs, provided the State agency or local education agency administers the programs, and for federal, State or local means-tested nutrition programs with eligibility standards comparable to the NSLP. Eligibility information may also be released to programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The release of information to any program or entity not specifically authorized by the NSLA will require a written consent statement from the parent or guardian. The School Food Authority does, however, have the right to verify at any time during the school year the information on the application. If a parent does not give the school this information, the child/children will no longer be able to receive free or reduced price meals (free milk). Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. A separate application for a foster child is no longer necessary. Foster children may be listed on the application as a member of the family where they reside. Applications must include the foster child's name and personal use income. Under the provisions of the policy, the designated official will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the designated official, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. The Assistant Superintendent for Finance & Operations, whose address is 250B Rte. 25A, Shoreham, NY 11786 has been designated as the Hearing Official. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. However, prior to initiating the hearing procedure, the parent or School Food Authority may request a conference to provide an opportunity for the parent and official to discuss the situation, present information, and obtain an explanation of the data submitted in the application or the decisions rendered. The request for a conference shall not in any way prejudice or diminish the right to a fair hearing.

Building a connection with the public Civilians and law enforcement come together at National Night Out

BY AIDAN JOHNSON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office and the Town of Brookhaven once again held their National Night Out event at the Fireman’s Memorial Park in Ridge. National Night Out, an annual tradition that takes place on the first Tuesday in August, is a nationwide event that police officers participate in to raise awareness about police programs in their communities. The Brookhaven National Night Out, the largest of its kind on the East End, opened by playing the national anthem. As hundreds of families arrived, multiple activities were being held, including tug of war, bingo and an ice cream truck that gave away free vanilla and chocolate swirls. “People always know what the police

department does, but sometimes people don’t know what the Sheriff’s Office does, so we have our trucks here,” said Sgt. Paul Spinella of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office. “We have our deputies here showing all the different aspects that the Sheriff’s Office is involved in, and hopefully meeting some community members.” Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. was also on hand during the event. He spoke of the progress that his office has made in bolstering community turnout and educating the public about services offered through his office. “The way that our National Night Out has grown from almost 250 people at the first one four years ago to now expecting over 3000 people today shows that not only are we having a positive impact on our community, but our community wants to learn more about us,” Toulon said. The sheriff also highlighted the

Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr.

steps that he and his office have undertaken to build trust with the broader public. “I think there’s pretty much a symbiotic relationship between the community and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office,” he said, adding, “I think that members of the community in Suffolk County are extremely supportive of the law enforcement community, which we are very appreciative of. We want to keep our communities safe so that each and every person can live and do the things that they freely want to do.” One of Toulon’s goals is to establish a closer relationship between children and the police. According to him, law enforcement can offer the necessary guidance to keep children away from bad influences and motivate them to contribute to their community. “Our goal is to really make sure that we can keep young kids on the straight and narrow

Sgt. Paul Spinella of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office

path so that we can show them the positive thing to do,” he said. “Since I’ve become the sheriff, I’ve been in one to two schools per week talking to students about bullying, vaping, opioids and drugs.” Toulon added that one of his achievements as sheriff has been bringing programs from the Sandy Hook Promise organization to all Suffolk County schools. The organization, which was started by Mark Barden and Nicole Hockley, who lost their children in the 2012 school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, aims to empower kids and adults to prevent violence in schools and their communities. “We have taught over 30,000 faculty, teachers and students with the programs — the Start with Hello and the Say Something programs,” Toulon said. “We also engage with our middle school students with the gang resistance education and training program. We try to deter kids from engaging in any type of gang activity. We really try to really make sure that our kids are making good choices.” While many deputies were present during the night, becoming one is no easy task. One deputy shared some of the requirements, including tests, physicals and orientations. “It’s actually a very long process to become a deputy,” she said. “Honestly, I think it takes about a year.”

Among all of the booths set up was one for the organization New Hour, a nonprofit founded to support women who are either currently or formerly incarcerated and their families. “We try to provide donations that include clothing, shoes, cosmetics, toiletries and any donation that we think a woman could benefit from once they’re released or once they have finished their term,” Anitria

Blue, the community ambassador liaison for New Hour, said. One of New Hour’s major programs is referred to as Empowering Methods for Effective Reentry, Growth and Engagement, or EMERGE. It is a 15week program that allows women to meet and learn about resources that may help them. The program helps these women become more involved with the criminal and social justice

systems and helps them learn to advocate for others. While Blue felt slightly intimidated by the turnout of her former corrections officers during the event, she enjoyed the event nonetheless. “I had good relationships with my officers during my 17 years of incarceration,” she said. “It took a while, but they got to know me, so when I see them, I actually see humanity.”

Toulon felt a strong sense of appreciation for everyone who worked for him. “When I look at the [people] who work for me, whether they are deputy sheriffs, correctional officers or civilians, I think that they are heroes because not too many people can do what they do,” the sheriff said. As the night went on, a feeling of community connectedness grew among everyone in attendance. “I

think we want [people] to know that we’re just like them,” Spinella said. “We’re community members, too. We help the community, just like garbage men and post office [workers]. When they come up to us and ask us for help, we are there for them.” — Photos by Aidan Johnson

Editorial

University in the community During a meeting of the Port Jefferson Board of Trustees on Monday, Aug. 1, trustee Lauren Sheprow suggested building closer ties between the village government and Stony Brook University experts. Sheprow proposed the creation of a local think tank composed of resident experts whose specialized knowledge could be used in service to the community. We believe that this is a neat idea, worthy of the public’s attention and further exploration. Long Islanders sometimes forget that there are world-renowned scholars living among us. SBU is the largest single-site employer on Long Island. This institution harbors thousands of faculty members who are trained specialists in their chosen fields. Citizens can often feel alienated from their local government. Municipal operations — reports, budgets, meetings, hearings and so on — can appear to be endless drudgery at times. Perhaps, innovative thinkers could be the source of new ideas. With regularity, we read about various scientific and medical breakthroughs made by SBU faculty members. From the sciences to mathematics, the humanities to the arts, SBU students and faculty are changing our world for the better. These are people of immense talent and wisdom, sometimes an untapped resource in solving local problems. The community would tap into local experts who could offer up their insights on matters that most affect us. Specialists could advise our elected officials to make better decisions. This is not without precedent. During the administration of SBU President John Marburger, there was a community advisory council, or CAC, in which such a relationship was forged. It was disbanded some 15 years ago. Perhaps it’s time to bring that back. Anything that brings the government closer to the people, injecting new blood and ideas into the political process, is beneficial to democracy. We should support our local municipalities in strengthening their ties to local universities. This is good for the government, the university and the people.

black smoke on both startup and acceleration. On most summer days, the Manhattan skyline would be partially or wholly obscured by smog, and 100+ degree temperatures were not uncommon in summer. The main components of smog were unburnt hydrocarbons (soot), nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, all emissions from cars, trucks, buses and power plants. With the advent of fuel injection, computer controls and the catalytic converter, tailpipe emissions of yore have been reduced drastically, with water vapor and carbon monoxide remaining. Carbon monoxide reverts back to CO2 in the troposphere; yet the levels of CO pre-catalytic converter ranged from 30,000 to 100,000 ppm. Today, those levels are down to less than 1000 ppm from internal combustion engines. Similar levels from power plant emissions are realized through electrostatic scrubbers on the smokestacks, with water vapor and CO as the predominant exhaust products. The United States has the cleanest air and water of any major industrial power, by far.

Annual emissions inspection on motor vehicles employ rigorous parameters when it comes to “pass‒ fail.” The dreaded “check engine” light means your vehicle has an emissions fault and will not pass until the problem is rectified. Electric cars in their current iteration are a zerosum game, if one believes them to be more friendly to the environment. Tesla and similar vehicles run on lithium batteries, requiring about 500,000 gallons of salt water to be injected into the earth for each ton of lithium ore recovered. These batteries have too many flaws to enumerate, and we have too little lithium and not nearly enough generating capacity to charge millions of these cars. Solar and wind power amount to the proverbial “drop in the bucket.” We need to perfect solid-state battery tech and more power plants to make electric vehicles even close

to viable on a macro scale. Sorry for digressing here: The point I am trying to make concerns the “green” movement, which I perceive to be dedicated less to the environment and more to the total destruction of the United States economy and industry, exclusively. China with its massive deployment of coal-burning plants, India with equally lax emissions standards and Brazil’s wholesale burning of the Amazon rainforest continue

unabated yet, without coal, oil, nuke or natural gas to generate power, we will be on the way to third-world status. A country of 3.5 million square miles and 400 million people cannot expect Chinese-made solar panels and wind turbines to supplant 600-megawatt generators. It may work for Monaco or Luxembourg, but for the U.S.A, it is both fantasy and folly. Michael Meltzer Stony Brook

LIRR’s systematic neglect of North Shore communities The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is receiving $10 billion for infrastructure improvements from the federal government, and we along the Port Jefferson line need a small part of this money for better services. As a former Port Jeff Village trustee, I spoke with the former Long Island Rail Road president, Phil Eng, and the LIRR executive planning and technical staff about this issue. They presented plans of their own: double tracking, bridge expansion and reconstruction, electrification and the possibility of battery-powered trains. My sense of all of this: The LIRR plans are so grandiose and unrealistic that there were no plans at all, just a convenient excuse to do nothing. Rather than bells and whistles, we need a simple upgrade to some form of electric service. Commuters all along the North

Shore are taking the Ronkonkoma from New York City, paying line. Some residents even drive among the highest fares, with the to Huntington or Hicksville for shabbiest service. For decades, LIRR has decent transit. Due to inadequate services, demonstrated a profound disregard for our local our local communities. commuters sit in Most travelers 10 to 20 miles of islandwide have unnecessary traffic had electrical to get to an electric service for a rail. The pollution generation … or generated along three! The fact that the Port Jeff we haven’t joined line from diesel them should say a requires us to lot about LIRR’s either transfer — priorities and often in inclement its feelings for weather — or By Bruce Miller its North Shore “commute to the travelers. commute.” This is New York State Assemblyman unacceptable and very ungreen. LIRR’s logic is to deprive the Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) North Shore of commuters and and Suffolk County Legislator then argue against electrification Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) have due to insufficient ridership. advocated for moving the Port Because of this, we are among Jefferson train station west to the farthest commuters away the 120-acre Lawrence Aviation

property. The Village of Port Jefferson needs to engage with Englebright and Hahn to negotiate an adequate tract of land with the LIRR west of Routes 25A and 112. The advantage of this is great. It would eliminate the Main Street grade crossing and its resultant traffic. It would free up rail yards east of the existing station for a swap of land and subsequent incorporation into Port Jefferson Village. In addition, the freeing up of the existing station property could be used for parkland and recreation. This is urgent. Decisions on that $10 billion windfall are being made now. The opportunity to electrify the line will not come for another generation. Bruce Miller served as Port Jefferson Village trustee from 2014-2022.

Opinion Taking a nostalgic detour away from the muck of today

hen times are tough, we can use nostalgia as a bittersweet salve. Nostalgia serves as both a source of comfort, allowing us to step out of our current situations, while also providing a longing for something that may be impossible to find or rediscover. To that end, I’d like to share a nostalgic and a not nostalgic list. — Being out of touch. I know that may seem odd, particularly for someone whose job involves keeping D. None people in touch with of the above information, but I miss BY DANIEL DUNAIEF the days when people couldn’t find me. I remember getting a beeper for the first time and thinking this was a slippery slope to nonstop accountability. — Snow days. In the most intense heat of

the summer, it’s easy to become nostalgic for the unplanned gift of a day off from school and, way back when, for some time at home with my parents. The night before a snow day, I would go to a particular window in the backyard, turn on the light and assess the size of the snowflakes. If they were too big, the temperature was likely far too warm and the snow would likely turn into rain. Smaller and super numerous snowflakes, like a colony of termites building a home, could work their magic overnight, causing the trees to bend in front of my window. — Cultural excitement. We are so divided on so many issues these days, but I miss the general excitement that comes from blockbuster movies. I remember the experience of seeing the movie “Star Wars” in a packed theater and the excited conversation from people as the John Williams music sent them home happy. — The meaningful sitcom. “M*A*S*H” somehow combined humor and drama, blending comedy with intense situations in an army hospital in the Korean War. The sitcom “Mom,” which deals with addiction, friendship, familial

issues and loss, brought the same impressive acting to difficult situations softened by humor. — Eating less healthy food. I miss the ability to eat a burger, fries and onion rings at one of my favorite restaurants (RIP The Good Steer) without having that food interrupt my sleep, create unfortunate digestive experiences or contribute to an expanding girth. — Letting our dog roam the neighborhood. Our current dog is rarely off his leash. Decades ago, we’d ask our dog if he wanted to go out, he’d run to the door and return to play when he heard us outside or to have his evening meal and play at night. He walked himself. — My dad. My father had the uncanny ability to make me laugh, even and especially when I was frustrated. Seeing my sour face, he’d come toward me in a battle of wills he knew he’d win. He’d make a strange face or do something unpredictable, forcing me to smile despite myself. Okay, so, how about a few things for which I am not nostalgic. — The rear-facing seat of a station wagon. The seat often didn’t have much room, because

we also packed bags and suitcases back there, and was facing the wrong way, which meant that nausea, particularly on tight turns, was a constant companion. — The Yankees around 1990. With a respectful nod to Don Mattingly, those teams were pretty close to unwatchable. — Marching band practice. I loved so many parts of my musical upbringing, but marching band doesn’t make the list. We sweat for hours on hot fields. During performances, our heavy, unflattering uniforms trapped heat and felt stiffer than denim that had dried too quickly. — Going to the airport to change tickets. Awful as today’s airline experiences are, we drove to the airport and waited in line to change tickets. Today, we can go online, where systems are busy and the airlines tells us to try back later. — Waiting for carpools. To borrow from J.D. Salinger and William Golding, waiting for exhausted parents to pick up a collection of teenagers dripping with Holden Caulfield angst was akin to living through a sociological “Lord of the Flies” experiment.

Is hate mongering the beginning of a descent into evil?

riving along a residential street in what seemed from doorbell videos to be a white Prius, a man tossed a plastic bag on each lawn as he moved along. It might have been a newspaper delivery, but it wasn’t. It was a package of hateful flyers whose words were directed against Jews. The bags contained rice or pebbles to weigh them down and keep them from blowing away in the wind. Police have been investigating the hate messages delivered to homes in Rockville Between Centre, Oceanside and Long Beach in Nassau you and me County and have BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF blamed an anti-Jewish group for the activity, which has also occurred in other cities in the country. Whether these groups are aligned through the internet has

yet to be determined. But we do know that the internet has carried hateful messages throughout the world, a far cry from the original idea that digital connectivity could be only a positive platform for revealing despots’ brutality in far corners of the globe. We now know the internet can be a powerful tool to radicalize otherwise ordinary people who might be susceptible to the hateful messages. But how do ordinary people become radicalized? A book was just published that attempts to deal historically with that subject by focusing on Reinhard Heydrich, who became the head of the SD (the intelligence service) and the Gestapo as well as an architect of the Final Solution for the Third Reich. “The Hangman and His Wife,” by Nancy Dougherty, tells of a man without ideological roots, who was not a fervent believer and only joined the Nazi Party in 1931, two years after his future wife, Lina. Yet he began what the senior New York Times book reviewer, Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, who wrote the forward to the book, described this way.

“One searches in vain for a rational explanation of Heydrich’s descent into evil. No single biological fragment satisfies.” According to the book’s author, Heydrich evolved from a musically gifted, intelligent and lonely little boy into a monstrous, hyperrational technocrat with a photographic memory and unmatched organizational abilities. How he was perceived may have been a starting point. He had “striking Aryan looks,” and for Heinrich Himmler, who first interviewed him, and who “was weak-chinned and squinted from behind thick glasses … a physically unimposing” figure, Heydrich fit the Nazi ideal. “For all their focus on Nordic physical perfection, the Nazi leaders were a bunch of misfits … Goering was fat and jowly; Goebbels was clubfooted.” Hitler himself did not match the paragon. Here was this tall, blond candidate for head of the SS, who would be a poster child of Aryan perfection in his new uniform. He must have loved that. Further, a close relative had a Semiticsounding last name, and “he was shadowed by rumors that there was Jewish blood in his family and mocked during his nine years in

the navy; one former roommate attested that ‘everyone more or less took Heinrich for a Jew,’” according to author Dougherty. And this from another bunkmate: “there is no doubt that ambition was his characteristic peculiarity … On all occasions, he wanted to be outstanding — in the service, in front of his superiors, with the comrades, in sportsmanship and in bars.” Put that together with “his Luciferian coldness, amorality and insatiable greed for power,” according to Dougherty, and he became head of the Gestapo until he died in his Mercedes convertible from an assassin’s grenade on May 27, 1942. He received a fulldress state funeral from Hitler. So do those personal qualities plus opportunity explain the emergence of a hate monger? Could any of these bag-tossers today become deeply evil and potentially homicidal? Or are they merely practicing freedom of speech? Do they just wish to stand out and be seen? Is capacity for malignant behavior what Freud called the “death instinct?” Or, as the book reviewer, Daphne Merkin, suggests, is there an inherent perverse glamour in evil?
