SBUH honors nursing staff during National Nurses Week BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM To kick off National Nurses week, Stony Brook University Hospital rolled out the red carpet for its nursing staff, cheering them on as they made their way into work. On Thursday, May 6, the 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. shifts were welcomed into the hospital with a red carpet and balloons to thank them for their efforts — especially throughout the last year. Since the early 90s, May 6 through May 12 (ending on Florence Nightingale’s birthday), nurses across the country have been thanked for the work they do.

But 2020 showed a new appreciation for nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. SBUH decided last summer to put out the red carpet, as nurses ventured into work during the height of the coronavirus crisis. And for the second year in a row, more than 3,400 RNs, LPNs, nursing assistants, nursing station clerks and more were thanked as they readied a 12-hour shift like a celebrity. Carolyn Santora, chief nursing officer & chief of regulatory affairs, said the red carpet was just one way of saying thanks. “Our nurses are stars, and they’re wonderful,” she said. “We wanted to show our appreciation.” Santora said that throughout the whole week, nurses and nursing staff were

recognized for their hard work. One day they were delivered ice cream, another they were given awards. “The staff, I can’t say they’re not weary and tired — it’s been a long, long year — but they’ve been incredible,” she said. “They come to work dedicated every single day, take care of our community and support each other in the process.” Santora said the staff were appreciative of the hospital’s efforts. “The importance of this is understanding and recognizing them for their skills, for their dedication, for their talents and for their heart,” Santora said. “Taking care of all of these patients every single day, it’s just remarkable what they do.”

County

County parks stewardship program officially launched BY KIMBERLY BROWN DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County deputy presiding officer, Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), officially launched Tuesday the Park Stewardship Program, where community volunteers are selected to oversee local parks that do not have staff. County nature trails are in need of assistance as illegal dumping and vandalism are often discovered on the paths where local residents take their daily walks. “The responsibilities of the stewards would be to pick up trash and to notify the parks department if there is vandalism or dumping,” Hahn said. “We’ve had very high profile dumping issues, so it’s good to have eyes and ears on the ground.” The stewards are also encouraged to help with signage to assist local residents with navigating through the trails. Hahn said it is important to create more signage to help residents such as mothers with children to ensure they know how far the trail is to reach a particular scenic spot. County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) expressed his gratitude for Hahn’s

program, as his involvement in preserving Long Island parks dates back to 2006 when he won support for the transfer of the 365-acre former Kings Park State Hospital property to New York State parks department. “This is very near and dear to my heart, I walk through here regularly,” he said. “This is the kind of thing that starts off small but may develop into a group where we can raise money so we can make improvements to the park.” The falling of trees throughout Long Island trails since Hurricane Sandy in 2012 has been continuing many years later. The president of Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, David Reisfield, has taken it upon the Greenbelt organization to remove hazardous trees on trails that caused concern for residents. “This, to me, is the best thing,” he said. “We go out every Tuesday and cover three to four miles of trail, but the more volunteers the better. I could not be happier.” According to Hahn, stewards are not expected to cut down trees but are welcomed to use clippers for branches that may cause blockages on the trails. “It’s important that people get to go out and experience this, and sometimes a candy wrapper

or a water bottle can mar that experience,” she said. “So, having stewards that are there to help pick those up is a good thing.” If community members are interested in

becoming a part of the Park Stewardship Program they can visit the county’s parks website at suffolkcountyny.gov/departments/ parks and sign up online.

During the public participation portion of this week’s board meeting, a group of parents spoke of being concerned about the “negative social, emotional and academic effects” of plexiglass barriers that have been erected as part of COVID-19 protocols on the desks of elementary students. They demanded that they be taken down “immediately.” Members of the group said that since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention no longer recommends the barriers and district secondary students weren’t using them, the district was “keeping the most severe district protocol in place for the least vulnerable students.” They called the protocol “unacceptable.” Some also declared the use of masks and barriers “redundant.” Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich explained that elementary students eat at their desks, while secondary students do not. “I hear the emotion, and it’s heartbreaking,” she said. She also said the district had tried hard to “create as normal an opportunity” as possible for students, and that the district’s “layered approach” was part of its effort to keep students in school and keep everyone “safe and healthy.” Pedisich said she also hears from parents “who feel very differently” and want the safety measures in place until the end of the year. The superintendent acknowledged that “COVID fatigue is real,” but said that after speaking with the school governance committee and other superintendents, the prevailing sentiment is to “stay the course until the end of the year.” “I don’t want to make imprudent decisions that in any way would jeopardize the health and safety of our students, and I think the board feels the same way,” Pedisich said.

Three Village Central School District residents will vote on the 2021-22 budget and select three school board trustees when they head to the polls next Tuesday, May 18. Next year’s $222.6 million budget requires supermajority approval since it exceeds the 1.37% cap on the tax levy increase. Deputy superintendent, Jeff Carlson, has said that opening schools five days a week to all students cost the district about $6.5 million this year. Speaking at the most recent school board meeting May 5, he explained that with most of the money coming from reserves, the district has to pay itself back while also keeping current safety protocols in place for the upcoming school year. At a previous meeting, Carlson said the 1.85% tax levy increase will generate close to an additional $800,000, roughly the amount the district will use to pay back its reserves. The average increase to taxpayers is $222 a year — about $58 more than they would pay per year under a 1.37% levy increase. State aid will increase by $1.8 million in the coming year, but because the current year’s aid package was less than the previous year, the net gain will only be about $200,000, Carlson said. The district has budgeted for the restoration of health education for kindergarten through third grade, math labs at the high school and electives in the secondary schools. That will mean the addition of three full-time health teachers and an additional math teacher at $90,000 (including benefits) for a total of $360,000. In an email, Carlson said the cost will be covered through savings from retirements. The district will also add a social worker for the elementary schools, an elementary chair to manage 504 programs, which provide support for students who need learning accommodations, and a music technology teacher. Carlson said each position is budgeted at $90,000 with benefits and will cost about $270,000. If the proposed budget doesn’t pass, the district can either put the same budget up for a second vote, present a revised budget for vote or go straight to a contingency budget. A contingency budget would mean no increase to the tax levy and would require the district to cut $3 million, Carlson said. A failed second vote would also result in a contingency budget.

Ward Melville 15 Middle Country 8

Patriots top Middle Country on the road BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It was Ward Melville senior midﬁelder Summer Agostino who stole the show notching six goals for the Patriots in a Division I match up against Middle Country to lead her team to a 15-8 victory on the road May 10. Kate Spinks’ goal with seven minutes left earned the freshman her hat-trick, and midﬁelder Amanda Lee and Jillian Gironda both scored twice. Middle Country senior Alyssa Oddo found the back of the net on two occasions, as did sophomore’s Kate Timarky and Juliana Speziale. Sophomores Olivia Annuziata and Kaitlyn Ippolito each had one goal apiece. Freshman goalie Ava Carillo had nine saves

in net for the Patriots as Middle Country’s Tabitha Bernstein stopped seven. The win lifts the Patriots 2-1 as the loss keeps Middle Country searching for their first win of this early COVID-compressed season.

Budgeting time to get involved

Next week, residents across Long Island will vote on what their next board of education and budgets should look like. Some districts have no unopposed runners, some have a handful of candidates vying for the same seat. We are happy to see that, although some districts within our area are having hostile debates, people have been interested in this upcoming year’s budget and the candidates running for the BOE seats. Oftentimes, parents and people in the community don’t know what’s going on until something happens — and that’s OK. Life is busy with working, raising a family and maintaining a social life — it can be hard to tune into a board meeting or flip through the pages of a proposed budget. But we’ve noticed this year that it seems a little bit different. Maybe it’s because of the COVID-19 pandemic, maybe people are more concerned than before. Whatever the reason is, we’re happy that residents are getting involved. Whether it’s voicing your opinions or concerns over a school board election, or preparing for the 2024 presidential election down the road, it’s important to exercise those rights. We have the luxury and the privilege to be a part of a democracy. People might not realize that the school board — that is “small” on the scale of things — has a huge impact on not just our children, but the community as a whole, especially regarding taxes Pay attention to these things, whether you have children in the district or not. Read the local news and pay attention to what’s going on. If you don’t agree with something, prevention is key — complaining after the fact on a social media post won’t do much when everything is already set in stone. Your vote can make a difference. School districts across our coverage areas will be holding budget votes and board of education elections Tuesday, May 18. Check your district’s website for details on times and locations, and continue visiting tbrnewsmedia.com for updates.

I never thought I’d see the day when an anti-Semitic incident here in Long Island was rationalized on political grounds. But that’s exactly what George Altemose does in a letter published in The Village Times Herald on April 22 [“When is graffiti hateful and when is it not?”]. Since Mr. Altemose requests an explanation of why anti-Semitic graffiti is different from graffiti targeting the police or white people in general, I will oblige him. But first I must call into question a couple of his statements. He claims hateful graffiti targeting the police and whites was encouraged by Democratic leaders. Can he provide even a single quotation to back this up? Also, he complains the “actual words and pictures” defacing the playground slide were not provided. Doesn’t he understand the reason for this? Does he want them propagated further? So, why is graffiti targeting Jews different from graffiti targeting the police or white people? The answer is so obvious I’m surprised it requires explanation. For close to 2,000 years Jews have been a tiny minority vilified and scapegoated for everything from the crucifixion of Christ, to child murder, to plotting world

domination, to the evils of communism, to the excesses of capitalism. Within living memory one out of every three Jews in the world was murdered for no other reason than that they were Jews. Less than three years ago, in the worst anti-Semitic attack in American history, 11 Jews were murdered while at worship in a Pittsburgh synagogue, again for no other reason than they were Jews. This April a Manorville man was indicted for shooting up homes, cars and businesses and making antiSemitic death threats against people in Nesconset, Kings Park, Holtsville and Medford. Years ago, when my younger son was here in grade school, he was told by a supposed friend of his that he could no longer hang out with him because his father didn’t like Jews. I find it hard to believe that something like this would happen because “Dad” didn’t like white people or police officers. One is not born a police officer. As for white people, they are a powerful majority in our country. Jews are a small minority with a distinct culture, religion and history. White people are not. Unless we want to start talking rubbish about “Aryans.” I hope

Mr. Altemose does not want to go there. A swastika or hateful anti-Semitic slur calls forth a long history of violence directed against Jews for no reason except their identity as Jews. It is not an empty threat. We are vulnerable in a way police officers or white people in general are not. Make no mistake: I do not condone or excuse graffiti of any sort, much less hateful words directed against the police or any group. But to draw a false equivalency between anti-Semitic graffiti and anti-white or anti-police graffiti for the purposes of a political attack against our current governor is truly shameful. Mr. Altemose may have no antiSemitic intent. But what does it mean when he expresses “sympathy for our poor young graffiti artist” who supposedly is just confused because other graffiti is “fine”? What does it mean when he insists that anti-Semitic graffiti is just one more type of political expression, no different or worse than any other? He’s helping avowed anti-Semites who would like nothing better than to have their poisonous hatred normalized as ordinary. David Friedman St. James

Research before voting on the school budget The school budget vote is Tuesday, May 18, and the Three Village Central School District wants to break the tax cap. For new homeowners or anyone who never checks their property tax bill, money for the school budget comes from your property taxes. It may not be the same for all of the Three Village area, but 70% of my property taxes goes to the school district. As an example, 70% of a $15,000 tax bill is $10,500 that will go to the school district. Then the remaining $4,500 is divided between Suffolk County, Suffolk police, Brookhaven Town and the Highway Department, Brookhaven refuse, fire

districts, open space preservation and more. The percentage you pay to the school district is clearly marked as the first item under Levy Description, so please be informed before voting. Review your tax bill which your mortgage company should be sending you every year. Understand that school district taxes will never go down and the program you think is such a nice idea now, will be on your tax bill long after your children have graduated. According to New York State Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) on his website, “Long Island schools have gained a $400 million-plus windfall of state financial aid

for the 2021-22 fiscal year. Total dollar assistance to public … education in Nassau and Suffolk counties is due to rise by 13% next year.” So, there’s that. The Three Village school district needs to understand they’re not the only one affected by the pandemic. People lost loved ones, lost jobs and are struggling more than the school district. Like most businesses and homeowners, they need to learn to budget themselves, but as long as we, the taxpayers approve their increases, they never will. Joanne Tereshko Setauket

MTA missed the mark with Penn Station master plan The MTA’s new $10 billion Penn Station Reconstruction Master Plan missed other critical issues that are a higher priority for commuters. The project fails to add any new track or platform capacity for Amtrak, NJ Transit, Long Island Rail Road or future Metro North Rail Road service. It does nothing to deal with periodic service disruptions due to storm and signal

problems in the East River Tunnels. These problems periodically also occur between the tunnel portals and Harold Interlocking west of Woodside Station. It does not resolve approval of a specific implementation plan with Amtrak to fix critical East River tunnel damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Any new funding would be better spent reopening the old Hilton Passageway

also known as the Gimbels Corridor — indoor connection from Penn Station to the Herald Square subway and PATH complex — along with long overdue repairs to the Portal Bridge in New Jersey, also the East River and Hudson River tunnels. Improvements supporting safety and reliability of service should come first. Larry Penner Great Neck

Opinion Anticipating the joy of seeing family in person

fter setting the American record for the longest consecutive streak of 340 days away from Earth aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Scott Kelly returned and flopped into a pool. While we all haven’t been away from Earth for any length of time, we have been living in a modified version of the normal we knew. Like Kelly, we have spoken with our close friends and family through electronic devices that beam them D. None onto a screen in front of us. of the above We have watched BY DANIEL DUNAIEF some of their drained faces, as they isolated themselves for a month or more, battling through the cough, fever and discomfort of COVID-19.

We have also seen our relatives at much greater than arm’s length as we celebrated landmark birthdays, the birth of new family members, and socially-distanced graduations and limited-attendance weddings. In two weeks, I am anticipating the familiar feeling of diving into a familial swimming pool. That’s when I will see family members I haven’t seen in over a year. We worked around our busy schedules not only to get vaccinated before we saw each other in real life, but also to do so long enough in advance of that meeting that our immune systems would have time to arm themselves against viral spike proteins. This is the longest period my wife and I have ever been separated from our parents. We know how fortunate we are that our parents didn’t get sick. We took nothing for granted, staying away from our parents and extended family. We might as well have been on the International Space Station, which was probably among the safest

places people have ever lived, given the limited social contact in a controlled environment 254 miles from the nearest pool, family member or pizza restaurant. We feel so much closer to a more familiar life than we have in over a year, as we anticipate seeing our parents and family members who can attend our son’s graduation. The planned visit has become a dominant and daily topic of conversation in our house. We are wondering what food and drink to serve, how to move everyone from nearby hotels to socially-distanced seating at graduation and what games to prepare in our backyard for our grown children to play with their cousins. These questions and decisions might have seemed like a responsibility prior to the pandemic, as hosting anyone requires attention to detail and consideration for our guests. That responsibility has transformed into the kind of privilege we might have taken for granted in other years, before the pandemic disrupted family gatherings and turned the calendar into a reminder of delayed gratification of family gatherings.

While we will likely engage in the Texas two-step, trying to gauge how close we can get physically to each other, it’s easy to imagine that hugs, kisses and appreciative smiles will bubble up from the excitement of a backyard that has hosted more routine gatherings of birds, squirrels and chipmunks than of the people who stare at flickering screens in our home. As we prepare to dive into our own family pools of support, affection and love, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who made such a return to normal possible, from those who explored the basic science that led to the vaccine, to those who developed and tested the vaccine, to those who treated family and friends, to those who stocked the shelves with the food and drinks we needed to take us from the uncertainty of the pandemic to the anticipation of a celebration. Absence made our hearts grow fonder for family and increased our appreciation for everyone who allowed us to reunite with the most important pieces of ourselves. In just a few weeks, we look forward to diving into a more familiar world.

we drive the back-way routes. The waves at the beaches are calm now, climbing the sand with rhythmic whispers, and the seagulls fly low, looking for a fish dinner in the clear blue water. Too soon, there will be motor boats and jet skis on the harbors and lawn mowers and leaf blowers keeping the landscape orderly — but not yet. The magic and peace of early spring are still, however briefly, with us to be treasured. The smells at the beach of salt in the air and blossom-scent on the breezes are intoxicating harbingers of the season. Lilacs, that always know when it is Mother’s Day, perfume the neighborhood. And among us humans, there are always those early-bird few who fire up the grill and begin to barbeque on a sunny weekend afternoon. If we play our cards right, we might be invited to share in this primitive treat. The taste is so much better than anything cooked indoors. Taste is tantalized by early fresh fruit, like locally grown strawberries, and by vegetables like baby asparagus and snow peas. Several

different kinds of dark green lettuces are also ready for dining early in the spring. As for touch, there is the sweetness of a gentle breeze, reduced on a rare spring day from a stern wind to a caress against the cheek. It carries with it the promise of a summer day and the seduction of a summer night. Add to all of that, the temperature in spring can reach a universally perfect range. Now I know some people like it hot, really hot, even up in the 90s when they can happily sweat. And some people like it cold, even freezing, during which time they can feel energized and stimulated to ski and ice skate. But all humans feel comfortable moving about in a temperature of 75 degrees. Knowing that could be found most months in San Diego almost prompted my husband and me to move there some 50 years ago. Of course, there were other things to consider, and we ultimately moved to Long Island. Not for a moment do I have any regrets. My five senses are glad we live here.

Spring: a season for all five senses

his is the time of year when our five senses go into overdrive. Let me enumerate. In no particular order of delight, I’ll start with sound. The birdsong is sometimes loud enough to provide dance music at a wedding. There are all kinds of musical bars put forth: crooning, warbling, shrieking, hooting, gurgling. There is an incredible range of notes, from high soprano and countertenor to tenor and baritone, even bass. Sometimes the birds seem to be singing in Between a chorus, other times you and me at counterpoint. If your BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF bedroom window is open, they can wake you up at first light. There can be many birds in the trees or there may just be one mockingbird

pretending to be an entire flock. The sight of the birds is as much a treat as the sounds, if you can spot them among the leaves. They can range from a nondescript small brown chick, who nonetheless utters the most melodious songs, to crimson or orangebreasted or blue-tailed or grandly multicolored varieties of different sizes and shapes that perch briefly on the porch railing or snack on the front lawn. They can seem the model of purpose as they deliver food to the open beaks of their newly hatched offspring or of patience as they sit quietly atop the eggs and wait for the next generation to appear. Speaking of sight, we go from the early purple of crocuses and joyful yellow of forsythia and daffodils to the lush pink of dogwood and cherry blossoms to the deep red of tulips and azaleas. All of that artwork is provided against a bright green backdrop of new leaves on the bushes and luxuriant attire for the tree limbs. Branches on either side of the road unite in the air overhead, creating sun-dappled tunnels as
