Brookhaven BZA postpones decision on Old Setauket Historic District property 86

At the April 27 Town of Brookhaven Board of Zoning Appeals public hearing, a decision about property at 63 N. Country Road, Setauket, was put on hold until its next meeting, May 25. Known by many in the area as the former Caropelo property, the current applicant, listed as 63 N. Country Road LLC, c/o Jennifer Leeds with a P.O. box in Coram, is seeking several variances on the 3.3-acre property on the east side of North Country Road and north of Route 25A. The owner is seeking approval to subdivide the 144,452 square-foot parcel into four lots. The proposal is to build single-family residences on each plot after the division of the property. The smaller parcels of land will range from 32,648 square feet to 40,000 square feet. A shared driveway for lots 1 through 3 would exit onto North Country Road and a second driveway for lot 4 would be from the town arterial. The Three Village Civic Association recently sent to members a copy of a letter, written by Land Use Chairman Herb Mones and addressed to Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook), to notify them of the variance application. According to the civic association, the wooded property adjacent to the ThompsonDetmer Farm and behind Village Automotive Center and the old phone company building is one of the few remaining open parcels of land along the Route 25A corridor. In his letter, Mones summarized other points why the parcel “bears an ‘outsized’ significance”:

• It is highly visible due to it bordering “our busiest roadway” — Route 25A. 28 • It is part of the Old Setauket Historic District. 154-4-32.1 • It has a natural grade/slope to the existing 154-4-30 farmland that needs to be protected. 155-1-1 72 • Any exit from this property is onto 155-1-3 Brookhaven’s historic “first road” — North 154-4-31 Country Road. 155-1-2 63 According to BZA planner, Christopher 154-4-33 Wrede, during the April 27 meeting prior 68 154-4-29 applications included lot154-4-26 divisions and a change 7 of zone application to provide for5 J Business 154-4-28 throughout the parcel in 2013.

Three Village residents approve 2022-23 school budget by 66 votes BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After turning down last year’s budget, Three Village Central School District residents said “yes” to the 2022-23 budget of $224,060,618. The votes were close with 2,584 approving the budget and 2,518 voting “no.” The new budget is $3,798,183 more than last year’s contingency budget of $220,262,435, reflecting a 1.72% increase. The proposed tax levy is $164,954,877. Four candidates vied for two seats in this year’s race. Town of Brookhaven Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) did not run for reelection after serving on the board since 2008. Incumbent Vincent Vizzo and his running mate Jennifer Solomon won with 2,715 and 2,650 votes, respectively. Reanna Fulton received 2,283 of the votes and Evan Proios 2,122. For Vizzo, a 34-year veteran of the school

district, it will be his second term on the board. He has been both a teacher and administrator in Three Village and a few years ago retired as principal of R.C. Murphy Jr. High School. As someone who has worked, lived in the district and also raised children in Three Village, he said he decided to run again because the community is “his life.” In a May 18 email, Vizzo thanked community members for their support. “I want their children to have the same excellent education that our children had in Three Village schools,” he said. “Once again ‘thank you,’ and I will work my hardest over the next three years.” He added, “I am excited to be working with my dear former student and good friend Jen. She will be an asset to our board of education. A special thanks to Reanna and Evan for running for the board.” Solomon, a former graduate of Three Village schools, who is raising four children in the district, ran for the first time. She has worked as a bilingual speech language pathologist in the Riverhead Central School District and is now an

to demonstrate how equitable and inclusive practices support students’ learning outcomes and add value to our school district. I’m looking forward to serving the community, and I am ready to do the work.” Trustee terms begin July 1 and are for three years.

Sheriff’s Office offers tactical defense training to ferry staff BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It seemed like an ordinary morning in Port Jeff village. A thick layer of fog hung above the harbor, leaving the smokestacks of the power plant only partially visible from Main Street. Traffic was normal, businesses were open to the public and pedestrians strolled through the blocks and public spaces as usual. Despite the relative calm of the village, the decks of a Port Jefferson ferry boat were anything but normal. From inside the boat, one could hear the shriek of a madman, the sporadic fire of blank rounds, and the scrambling of passengers as they hid for cover. None of these scenes were real, however. These were drills carried out by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office and part of a tactical defense education program for ferry staff and crew. Crew members went through multiple rounds of these drills aboard the Port Jefferson-Bridgeport Ferry, Friday, May 13. The training services are designed to educate staff on proper threat mitigation techniques, instructing them how to disarm potentially dangerous individuals in the event of an emergency. James McGuire, company security officer and port captain at the Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Company, said the ferry company holds annual defensive training courses to keep staff properly informed and trained. “We’re doing some security training here just to get our men ready for the upcoming summer season,” he said. “We like to do annual training and the Sheriff’s department is helping us out with that.” He added,

“Basically, they’re helping our crew learn defense tactics for potentially unruly passengers.” Capt. Scott Walsh of the Sheriff’s Office summarized the department’s intent for these demonstrations. In the event of an active threat, crew members are advised to avoid, deny and defend. “First, avoid if possible and get away from the threat,” he said, “Second, deny the threat access to you — if you’re in a room, then lock the door and do anything you can to deny the threat access.” He added, “Ultimately, if you can’t avoid or deny, then defend yourself. Do whatever you can to stop the threat.” The guided training between the Sheriff’s Office and ferry personnel lasted In one training scenario, two crew members successfully ambushed and disarmed the threat on board, above.

County legislators unveil legislation to reinforce term limits BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County legislators met on the floor of the William H. Rogers Legislature Building in Hauppauge May 12 to announce legislation that would solidify term limits for elected officials in Suffolk County. If passed, the proposed legislation would limit the offices of county executive, comptroller and legislators to a total of 12 years. Proponents argue the measure will remove a loophole in the law that allows individuals to exceed the 12-year threshold. Term limits were first instituted in Suffolk County in 1993 by voter referendum. However, the statute was ambiguous, according to Legislator Stephanie Bontempi (R-Centerport). “In 1993 Suffolk County voters went to the polls and approved term limits that dictate an elected official in the Legislature, the comptroller or the county executive could not serve in the same office [beyond] 12 consecutive years,” Bontempi said. “However, that still leaves the possibility for a candidate to run for that office again after a break in the 12 years.”

County

Bontempi’s proposed legislation would close this loophole. If enacted, the law would mandate that no person could serve more than 12 cumulative years in office. Last year, former county Legislator Kate Browning (D-Shirley) campaigned in a special election for the 3rd Legislative District. Despite previously serving in the Legislature for 12 years, Browning received the Democratic nomination following an appellate court panel ruling. She was defeated in that race by current Legislator Jim Mazzarella (R-Moriches) by a 55-45% margin and again in November’s election by 63-37%. Mazzarella said this legislation will prevent a similar scenario from unfolding in the future, cementing 12-year term limits in Suffolk for good. “A year ago when I first ran for office, a former legislator who had already served 12 years tried to game the system and run again,” Mazzarella said. “I could tell by being out there with the voters that the electorate at the time felt duped. Ultimately, the voters did make their feelings known at the ballot box and I was elected as legislator.” He added, “This law needs to be put in place to guarantee that voters are properly represented.” Bontempi said the purpose of the legislation is to bring fresh blood into the political process and to add more opportunities for newcomers in county government. “The goal here is for the majority to provide Suffolk County voters new candidates

Brookhaven adds new glass recycling drop-off location at West Meadow Beach As a result of such a positive response to the Town of Brookhaven’s glass recycling program, Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) announced that the Department of Recycling and Sustainable Materials Management has expanded the glass recycling drop-off locations.

who can bring new ideas and new perspectives to their offices,” she said, adding, “Our communities are ever changing, and leadership should reflect those changes.” Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) said voters approved term limits in 1993 with an understanding that it would prevent elected officers from serving more than 12 years. He considers this new legislation a way to reinstate the law’s original intent. “In 1993 the voters overwhelmingly approved and passed term-limit laws,” McCaffrey said. “Their intent, as was our intent, was to make it a 12-year term.” The presiding officer added, “We want to make sure that we codify it. We’re going to put it up as a referendum for the voters after

this resolution is passed, and we expect them to overwhelmingly support this referendum.” While this legislation will impose definitive term limits on several offices, there are some notable exemptions. The offices of county sheriff, county clerk and district attorney are each mandated by the state constitution and thereby cannot be regulated by county law, according to McCaffrey. “Those are state-mandated offices and we do not have the ability to control them,” the presiding officer said. A vote on Bontempi’s legislation is expected in early June. If the resolution is passed by the Legislature, voters will have final say on the matter in a referendum this November.

Heart heroes

In combing their health education and a desire to help increase awareness for heart health, Minnesauke Elementary School students recently took part in the Kids Heart Challenge fundraiser. During the event, students collected

pledged donations from family and friends to support the work of the American Heart Association. In total, the school raised $5,703.95 for the cause. Pictured above are the building’s top 10 fundraisers.

For the first time in three years, Ward Melville High School’s Science Olympiad team captured a first place overall win and were named New York State Champions, earning the bid to compete in this year’s National Science Olympiad Tournament. The National Science Olympiad Tournament was hosted virtually by CalTech on May 13. Results were not available at press time. This year’s team was led by captains Claire

Yang and Amber Luo and coaches Jenny Serigano and Mark Suesser, who thanked the district administration, board of education and Three Village STEM Enrichment Foundation for their support and encouragement along the road to become state champions. The title of state champions has only been achieved three times in the 36 years of Ward Melville Science Olympiad.

COVID-19 infections increasing, concerns climb about the fall In Suffolk County, the number of positive COVID-19 tests has been steadily climbing in the last month, mirroring the increase in other counties in the state and in parts of the country. As of May 16, the number of people who tested positive per 100,000 county residents on a seven day average was 56.6. That is up from 47.8 a week earlier, 26.4 on April 16 and 6.5 on March 16, according to data from the New York State Department of Health. “The numbers are creeping up,” said Dr. Mickel Khlat, chief medical officer at St. Catherine of Siena Hospital in Smithtown. Catholic Health had about 28 to 30 patients a month ago with COVID-19 and that number has now risen to the mid-60s. Most of those are incidental, he added, as the hospital discovered a positive test when a patient came in for another procedure. These positive tests, however, reveal the ongoing presence of the virus in the community. “I was hoping in 2022 that this would go away, but I don’t see this going away any time soon.” Area doctors and health officials suggested familiar practices to reduce risks, including social distancing and mask-wearing in confined spaces indoors and ensuring up-to-date vaccinations.

Health

“Immunity from vaccines and immunity from infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus wanes, so we urge everyone to get vaccinated and to get their booster or second booster if you are eligible,” Dr. Gregson Pigott, commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of Health Service, explained in an email. Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, suggested that the hospital is recommending that people speak to their primary care providers to get the best advice on their need to get a second booster. “Often, individuals may not realize that they fall into a category of vulnerable populations,” she explained in an email. “These can include not only adults with immune issues, but also those with heart and lung diseases, kidney issues, obese individuals and, of course, those who are elderly.” Khlat said since the virus first reached Suffolk County, obesity is often the underlying condition that presents the greatest risk factor for dying, which was evident in the first and second surges. People of all ages in Suffolk County have been hospitalized, even children, Pigott added. Recently, fewer sick people have needed medical attention in the intensive care unit. The majority of people who are under 65 years old and in the ICU are unvaccinated, Pigott added. In general, the most common symptoms for COVID-19 include respiratory issues as well as

fever, Nachman said. Other symptoms include gastrointestinal issues. “If you have symptoms, please consider doing a rapid test to evaluate the possibility” of having the virus, Nachman added.

The coming fall and winter

In the broader context, state and national officials are anticipating a challenging fall and winter. Earlier this week, the White House estimated that the country could experience as many as 100 million new infections without renewed mitigation measures. While daunting, particularly in the third year of the pandemic, the large number of potential new infections could encourage Congress to appropriate more funds to combat the virus and alert state officials to the need for measures to protect residents. Area hospitals have already started to consider the possibility of a rise in infections later this year. “We are anticipating increase in illness this upcoming fall and winter and are addressing those needs now” through supply chain preparations and other measures, explained Nachman. Khlat said St. Catherine continues to make sure the hospital has enough personal protective equipment, including N95 masks. While he suspects the tighter quarters in colder weather could contribute to a surge, he doesn’t expect people will be as sick this time. If they do get sick, patients can receive the first and second dose of remdesivir in the hospital and then get their next few doses at home, through a hospital-at-home program.

to take and, particularly for Paxlovid, have serious drug-drug interactions,” Nachman cautioned. “They are indicated for those with underlying medical issues. Other therapies, although less commonly available, include intravenous remdesivir.” Khlat said he’d recently heard of two cases in which patients took a five-day Medical options Pigott urged those who are at risk and test course of Paxlovid. “A week or two later, they came back for positive to contact their medical providers soon after testing positive and/or developing symptoms. monoclonal antibodies,” he said. People had Those who contract COVID-19 have “relapsed from Paxlovid. That, I never heard several therapeutic options, especially if they of before.” Generally, Khlat said Paxlovid works have mild-to-moderate symptoms and are at well, although he, too, cautioned about drug risk for severe disease. “COVID-19 antiviral medications or interactions. With fewer and shorter hospital stays for therapies should be started within five to seven people who contract COVID-19, hospitals days of symptom onset,” Pigott explained. Nachman added that treatments for Covid continue to have capacity. “We are not seeing include monoclonal antibodies and Paxlovid. an influx of patients getting admitted for Khlat “They can be difficult to get, difficult COVID,” HudsonWineFoodFest22_2x2.crtr - Page 1 -said.

A place to begin understanding Three Village’s 18th century history BY BEVERLY C. TYLER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Brookhaven Town and the Three Village area have a rich history, with a population dating back more than 8,000 years. This history, Part six: 17001750 of important events in Setauket’s (Brookhaven’s) past, will give old and new residents alike a place to begin understanding our long history. Part five of Brookhaven and Setauket’s history was published on April 14. During the first half of the 18th century, the settlers in Setauket, Stony Brook and throughout Brookhaven struggled to make life easier. New roads were laid out throughout Long Island including North Country, Middle Country and South Country Roads. Coastal vessels transported goods and passengers to and from Long Island with increasing regularity. It was during this period that tea was first introduced to the American colonies. Schools were established in many local communities. Farm produce such as corn, wheat, meat, wool, butter and cider exceeded the family needs of the colonial yeoman and found a ready market in a rapidly growing New York City.

History Close at Hand

1700: Samuel Thompson, son of the town blacksmith and a successful farmer, built his saltbox house in Setauket along North Country Road, the only main road through the village. 1701: Captain William Kidd was hanged in England for piracy. He was rumored to have visited Setauket and to have buried treasure somewhere along the Long Island coast. 1702: The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) sent missionaries to the American Colonies. 1703: A resolution was adopted for the proper seating (in church) of inhabitants of the town according to their position in town government and in relation to their contributions to the maintenance of a minister. 1704: The Rev. Dr. Vesey, rector of Trinity Church in Manhattan, New York, stated that in Suffolk County there was “neither Church of England minister nor and provision made for one by law, the people generally being Independents, and upheld in their separation by New England emissaries.” 1705: The English Parliament revised the trade act, which expanded the number of colonial products that were to be exported only to British ports. Molasses was included. This popular substitute for more expensive sugar is an important sweetener and baking ingredient for most Colonial Americans. 1706: Selah Strong constructed a house in East Setauket. It was first purchased by Richard Woodhull and later by Austin Roe who also operated his home as a tavern. 1710: A small Davis family farmhouse was

Barn, which became an Anglican meeting house between 1723 and 1729, when Christ Church, later Caroline Church of Brookhaven, was built. Painting courtesy Three Village Historical Society.

built in Stony Brook. It was later thought to have been inhabited by the ghost of a woman who died in the house (Now the Country House Restaurant). 1714: William Jayne, one of the early settlers of Setauket, died at the age of 96. He, like Rev. Nathaniel Brewster, was born in Bristol, England, and was a minister (soldier) in Cromwell’s Army. The community burying ground (now the Setauket Presbyterian Church Cemetery) was enlarged by one-half acre. The land was donated by Colonel Richard Floyd. That same year a new Brookhaven Meeting House was built on the Setauket Village Green in the same location as the present Setauket Presbyterian Church. It was voted to call it a Presbyterian Meeting House. That did not sit well with the Anglicans who had been attending the community meeting house and church. 1718: A new schoolhouse was built on the west side of the Setauket Village Green (where the Caroline Church Carriage Shed now stands.) at the cost of 36 pounds. 1723: A small group of 13 broke off from the Setauket Meeting House and organized an Anglican congregation in Setauket in reaction to the new Brookhaven Meeting House becoming a Presbyterian Meeting House. The fledgling congregation was supported by the British Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Services were

conducted in a barn building along the creek that ran north from the Setauket mill dam. The remains of that barn are still standing along the west side of the horseshoe path of the Frank Melville Memorial Park. The Rev. James Wetmore, newly ordained Anglican Minister, returned from England and was sent to Brookhaven (Setauket) to serve as rector. 1725: The first recorded deed to a house built in the old fields (now the village of Old Field). 1729: Christ Church was built on the northwest side of the Village Green in Setauket. The following year the name Christ Church was changed to Caroline Church of Brookhaven in honor of Queen Caroline, consort of King George II. 1732: A smallpox epidemic in Brookhaven killed many local residents including the first Selah Strong. 1733: An epidemic of influenza, which began in New York City, affected many communities on Long Island including the Town of Brookhaven. 1734: Joseph Brewster operated an Ordinary (Inn) in his home in Newtown (East Setauket). Brewster expanded the original house with a second building, almost equal in size, plus a saltbox addition to provide rooms for travelers. 1737: Queen Caroline, wife of King George II died. She was universally mourned for her many positive activities including a belief in

the importance of inoculation against smallpox. 1740: Amos Smith built a farmhouse in Setauket. His land included the glacial erratic, now known as Patriot’s Rock. Anna Smith was born in the Smith Manor House on Little Neck, later Strong’s Neck, in Setauket. 1741: By mutual agreement, the land comprising the Setauket Village Green was divided between Setauket Presbyterian Church and Caroline Church of Brookhaven. 1746: The Great Awakening, a religious revival, swept across New England and Long Island. 1748: Caroline Church warden, Richard Floyd, was elected president of the Town of Brookhaven Trustees. Richard’s brother Benjamin and many others of the congregants of Caroline Church remained loyal to the British Crown during the Revolutionary War. 1750: Abraham Woodhull was born in Setauket. His father Richard was a farmer and Brookhaven Town Leader. Abraham was the second son born to Richard and Mary Woodhull. However, the eldest son Richard died in 1760 so Abraham inherited the family farm along Little Bay. Beverly C. Tyler is a Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket.

Editorial

It takes a village

Across the TBR News Media coverage area, on the minds of many board of education candidates running for trustee this election cycle has been the need for greater access to mental health services for students. In general, the topic of mental health continues to come up more and more as the number of people suffering from this affliction increases. Americans are feeling the impact of COVID-19 shutdowns and of the isolation and loss of control that have followed. The news of more shootings nationwide has brought the issue and its repercussions to the forefront. The mission of providing mental health assistance or increasing that aid to children and adolescents makes sense and the reasons to do so are countless. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in six U.S. children aged 2–8 years has been diagnosed with a mental, behavioral or developmental disorder. During the period of 2018-19, among adolescents aged 12-17 responding to a study, approximately 15% had a major depressive episode and nearly 37% had persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Adolescents today are also having more violent thoughts than they had in the past. It’s now increasingly vital to sit down with young people and get to the root causes of violent ideation. What is triggering such thoughts and how can we address them adequately? Before the pandemic, mental health problems were already rising, exacerbated by people, especially young ones, sitting in front of computer screens and smartphones, comparing their lives to others. For many, COVID-19 shutdowns only compounded their miseries with more quiet time to sit with their feelings yet without opportunities to express their thoughts in a safe place. While many therapists offer virtual appointments through Zoom and other platforms, sometimes a patient, especially an adolescent, can feel even more isolated in such a forum as it can be difficult for some to connect with another through a screen. This general disconnect from society can be detrimental to anyone, especially a child who is just starting to figure out what life is all about and the part he or she plays in it. Our nation is in the midst of Mental Health Awareness Month, which has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Now more than ever, it’s important to educate ourselves on the signs of mental health problems and how we can all help. Sometimes it’s as simple as letting those whom we love and who look to us for guidance know they are not alone. People who are struggling need to know they have someone to talk to so that they don’t feel alone and desperate. At other times, we need to identify the proper balance between keeping one’s secrets and asking for help, even if it means reaching out to a parent, teacher or professional. Discussions on how to provide our children the best mental health services need to continue past budget votes and BOE elections. Reach out to your board of ed, attend school board meetings and ensure that providing students the help they need is not a talking point but a priority.

Letters to the Editor What a wonderful world this would be

I would like to begin with a grateful “thank you” to David McKinnon who articulated so well and gave statistical facts both in spending and the ranking of our students in the country in his May 5 Village Times Herald perspective piece [“Vote ‘no’ in upcoming school budget”]. (You can google how America is doing nationwide.) The silver lining of COVID-19 was that parents were shocked at what was being taught in the classrooms, and they are finally fighting for their kids. No, these are not “hostile” parents, but very concerned ones and rightly so. Whether we are a parent, grandparent or an American citizen we all need to be concerned. Remember the song from Sam Cooke? “Don’t know much about history” (1619 project agenda). “Don’t know much biology” (simple definition of a woman … XX chromosome … that’s science, right?). “Don’t know much about a science book” (science being used and abused). “Don’t know much about the French I took” (lagging behind in literacy). This song, “Wonderful World,” is about the hope and faith of the world and its people. Everyone can relate to this because, despite war and chaos, we tend to be looking for bright sides and positive things around us … our parents are the positive and bright sides with this dilemma. A bright parent I would like to share about that you won’t hear in the media is Jennifer Sey. She was poised to become the next CEO of Levi’s and was forced to resign for speaking out against COVID-19 school closure (First Amendment right), and she also chose to give up a $1 million severance package that would have muzzled her. A woman of substance, she did it for her children, because that’s what parents do. We’re seeing parents across the country speaking up at meetings of local school boards, who are failing our children, and running for board positions themselves. We need to get back to the basic ABCs: reading, writing and arithmetic. And how about restoring the Ten Commandments in the classrooms, which is our first “JudaeaChristian” moral code. We just might see a lot less violence, an increase of respect for each other and strengthening of the nuclear family. Lisa Pius Old Field

A domino effect

The draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito striking down Roe v. Wade strikes at the heart of the right to privacy. What’s next? Recriminalizing gay sex (illegal in some states until 2003)? Recriminalizing contraception (illegal in some states until 1965)? Recriminalizing interracial marriage (illegal in some states until 1967)? However you cut it, the repeal of Roe v.

Wade would be the first time in our history a constitutional right has been stripped away from Americans. If this politicized Supreme Court is so willing to trample on settled law and so eager to take away constitutional rights it disapproves of based on its religious preferences and ideology, what’s to prevent it from stripping Americans of other rights as well? Alito’s contorted and highly tendentious draft opinion shows just how easy this would be. In it he foolishly claims that it’s OK to overturn Roe because there was no “traditional” right to abortion. By this reasoning if you can’t prove that your constitutional freedom from state coercion is rooted in what was “traditional” in the 18th or 19th centuries, it can be stripped at will by five judges on the Supreme Court. Be careful what you wish for because you may get it. And, depending on the court, you may not like it. The so-called pro-life crowd claims “abortion is murder.” But just saying something is so, much less shouting it and screaming it, doesn’t make it so. It’s a religious belief, not a fact. Abortion has never been broadly equated with murder at any time in human history. If it were, a whole set of preposterous consequences would follow, such as executing a woman who takes a morning-after pill in states that have capital punishment — or jailing her for life in the rest, requiring death certificates and proper funeral arrangements for all miscarriages, sentencing to jail a woman who gives birth to a stillborn baby for “concealing a dead body” — as happened recently in Virginia — and so on. The plain fact is that criminalizing abortion in all or almost all circumstances is imposing the religious beliefs of some on everybody. So much for the separation of church and state. Alito’s regard for the Constitution plainly does not extend to the First Amendment, which supposedly guards us against precisely this kind of religious tyranny. Where are the usual protests about government overreach? What happened to the demand for small government? The hypocrisy is staggering. The so-called pro-life movement loves to sanctimoniously talk about enacting social programs post-Roe to help women forced to give birth to unwanted children. This, too, is staggering hypocrisy. I wouldn’t bet one single cent that once Roe is overturned it will then focus on this. The politicians who’ve ridden the pro-life movement to power show zero interest in paid family leave, generous child benefits, single-payer health care, or any of the rest of it. Instead, the pro-life movement will move on to loudly demanding a national ban, so that even in states such as New York, where women are now able to make for themselves the most

private decision imaginable, they are stripped of that right. Criminalizing abortion will not end it. It will just result in countless women suffering ruined lives, injury and death, all completely unnecessary, in the service of the religious beliefs of others. David Friedman St. James

The reality of the aftermath

Are we really so callous and blind that we must chain women’s reproductive decisions to the whims of the state? The reversal of Roe v. Wade will mean women and girls will essentially become pawns of politicized legislatures. Although the nation’s majority supports the right to abortion, the state and federal Congress is largely controlled by Republicans who have a decidedly different view of abortion. Women will be forced to accept unwanted pregnancies for unwanted children, impelled to act against their wills and subject to the varying restrictions of each state. Furthermore, these will not be rules that apply equally or end abortions. The fate of women burdened by unwanted pregnancy should not be determined by politicians. Reversal of Roe v. Wade would be a stunning class and race-based political act. The reality of these restrictions will be a return to back-alley abortions, injuries, deaths and unwanted children for those of poor socioeconomic circumstances. The well-to-do people among us will continue to be able to do whatever is necessary to obtain abortion services. Furthermore, the loss of freedom to make a decision regarding termination of a pregnancy will seriously disrupt the lives of countless women and families. Further, the shredding of precedence and undermining the legitimacy of the courts that Roe v. Wade’s reversal would entail will be done in the face of contrary majority support for a woman’s right to choose. It is a frightening reality that those opposed to the legalization of abortion can be so concerned about ending the life of a fetus yet be so callous regarding the absence of adequate prenatal and postnatal care and opposed to public support for children’s needs. A politician recently stated that “all that is needed is love for those saved from abortion.” But there has been no coherent response as to how to provide the underpinnings of love — adequate nutrition, education, housing and medical care. Foster care facilities are completely overrun. Those so opposed to abortion appear not to decry the absence of adequate services for families struggling to raise children under difﬁcult circumstances. Let us focus on the rights of the women and children we love and cherish — and the needs of those around us — to survive with dignity and humanity. John C. Robinson, M.D., Setauket

Opinion Making a list of doable daily achievements

ome people live from one list to another, checking off boxes only to create new tasks and new goals. Some of the things on the list are manageable, like picking up medicine from the drug store, shopping for the ingredients to cook dinner, or bringing a friend to or from the airport. Others are much broader and appear on the list almost daily, even if we take small steps to get closer to D. None them, like getting a job, losing weight, of the above or moving to a new BY DANIEL DUNAIEF apartment or a new city. Those bigger goals, while important, can make these lists cumbersome and, seemingly,

never-ending. Perhaps we need a few easily achievable tasks that reflect the reality of our lives. To that end, how about a few items from the practical, the mundane and the absurd: — Walk into a room, forget what you needed, stand in the room for a moment, shrug and walk out. While that doesn’t happen every day, it has certainly happened to me. I’ve also seen it happen to others. Somehow, putting it on a list makes it seem like an accomplishment, rather than a reflection of the distracted state in which we live. — Pet an animal while working from home instead of finishing an assignment. While deadlines help us accomplish our goals, petting our dogs and cats, or staring at our fish, lowers our blood pressure and soothes us. Take a moment to enjoy the fur of a pet who will likely appreciate the attention. — Turn off the light in a room when no one is there. Yes, this is small, but it lowers the electricity bill. Checking off this box should be

easy and it increases our checked off list. The devilish among us might “accidentally” turn the light off when someone is in the room. — Take a power nap. Instead of feeling guilty about walking away from your desk or your dog, feel good about the few minutes you get closing your eyes to restore your peace of mind. — Use a new word, like feckless as often as possible. Feckless sounds kind of angry and frustrated, which can reflect the frustrations of a feckless manager. — Throw something. Try not to break anything or cause any damage, but the sheer pleasure of throwing something like a football, baseball or even a balled-up piece of paper at a garbage can offer a satisfying outlet and a way to offset the figurative paper cuts we endure each day. — Stop at a yellow light. I know we’re all in a hurry, but if we put this one on the list, we can feel good about stopping when the light is

about to turn red. — Smile at someone. This one is so easy, and yet it’s worth putting on a list because we might make someone feel better during the day or offer support in an important moment. — Be grateful. Anger is everywhere around us, particularly on TV, where talking heads share the latest outrage from here, from there, from everywhere. Be grateful for the person who stocks the shelves at the grocery store, the person who takes your insurance information at the doctor’s office, or for the emergency workers who stand by ready to help the rest of us. — Watch nature do something cool. Enjoy the sight of a wave on the beach, the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves, the parade of ants climbing a tree, or the shades of yellow and orange light that the sun casts on trees and the sides of buildings as it sets at the end of the day and as you’re checking off your list of manageable achievements.

How many close friends do we need to conquer COVID’s effects?

id you hear? Ted has come down with COVID and is in the ICU.” The words hit me in the gut. This gentleman, with whom I serve on the board of directors of a local community group, has now been admitted to the local hospital. I sat next to him at the monthly meeting a couple of weeks ago. We exchanged pleasantries and made Between small talk. Neither of you and me us wore masks. (Ted BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF is probably in his 70s. I have not used his real name.) Just when we think our virus-riven world may be returning to some semblance of normal, the pathogen acts up again. We seem to be going two steps forward and one step back

as weeks and months go by. Yes, we have the vaccines, the boosters, the antiviral mediations and plenty of test kits now. But the contagion is not over, not even close, no matter how much we would like it to be and pretend it is. Neither is the fear that rises and falls. Those of us who have been spared thus far really don’t want to catch the disease, and those who have fallen ill don’t want to be the virus’s victim yet again. It’s spring. Finally, spring, with the flowers and leaves, the emerald green and the birdsong. The comfortable temperatures allow us to sit out on our patios and back decks. Once again we can feel the joy spring brings. But it is also the third spring we are living under the black cloud of a pandemic. Yes, we have learned a lot as a result. We have become more aware of the tiny miracles, the blossoming of each flower on the azalea bushes along the roadside as we walk, the warbling of the mockingbird stationed on the top of the tree beside our garage. The pace of life has slowed as a result of COVID, allowing us to become more appreciative, more mindful

of our existence from moment to moment. Many of us have embraced remote work habits and thrive with more at-home time. These are silver linings. But I can’t help mourning the loss of our before-virus lives. We haven’t been to a Broadway play in three spring seasons now. We have dropped our opera subscription. Contemplating a performance of Carmen at Lincoln Center, preceded by a scrumptious dinner in a Manhattan restaurant, makes me feel a bit dizzy with desire. I am still not relaxed enough, even with a mask, to indulge in my former existence. If we have been fortunate enough not to have lost a loved one to the disease, nonetheless, the virus has stolen from our lives, stolen not only events and spectacles but more painfully, time with family members and friends at those events. Time missed with those we are closest to, as we live our lives, cannot be made up. Our dear ones don’t live forever. Sometimes loved ones die, from the infection or other causes, and the hours we would have spent with them

are lost to us forever. Recently, researchers have interviewed thousands to answer the question, “How many close friends can one have?” The answer, the mean average and not counting family, is 3-6. Those friends are irreplaceable. When one dies, there isn’t another to step forward and take his or her place because such friendships take years to develop. I know. When I read that study, I immediately fell to counting my closest friends and came up with four. It would have been six but two have died, though not from COVID. I want to spend as much time with those who remain as possible, and I deeply resent the virus for getting in the way. Friendship, we know, is important for good health. The opposite, isolation and loneliness, often the by-products of COVID, can be as harmful to us physically as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to Psychology Professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, at Brigham Young University. We must make every effort to stay connected to our family and friends.
