Blooming with gratefulness Three Village Kids Lemonade Stand hosts final fundraising event

Madeline Witman, of Stony Brook, wrote in to tell us how grateful she is for her husband’s health aide Christopher Pantages for caring for the clematis plant that she received from former students when she retired from Three Village Central School District in 2004. Witman said Pantages devotes “his free time to training the clematis plant to grow sky high and welcome the bright sunshine. It has pretty much overtaken the mailbox, and I am thankful that the postal service continues to navigate around the purple blooms to deliver the mail.”

The lemonade is getting prepped, and the cups are getting ready to be filled one more time for the final Three Village Kids Lemonade Stand on Monday, Aug. 9. According to a press release from the organizers Maddie and Joseph Mastriano, the event is made possible due to 125 K-12 student volunteers, presenting sponsor Island Federal and a handful of other supporting businesses working together to turn lemons into lemonade for the Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, Child Life Program. Representatives from the hospital will be in attendance, along with other visits from local elected officials, the Suffolk County Police Department and more. Games, popcorn, raffles, merchandise and of course lemonade will be available with all the profits going to the Stony Brook Children’s, Child Life Program. The event will be held Monday, Aug. 9, from 3 to 7 p.m. at R. C. Murphy Junior

Taking a look at the past as Ecolin Jewelers celebrates its 50th anniversary BY KIMBERLY BROWN KIMBERLY@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Celebrating its 50th anniversary, Ecolin Jewelers of Port Jefferson has maintained a loyal customer base while offering a wide variety of jewelry and services. The owners, Linda and Russell Baker, began their business in 1971. The couple rented a small storefront in Stony Brook to get their footing as the new jewelers in town. A few years later, the Bakers’ business became successful enough to enable them to purchase their current property, located across from the harbor in the heart of the village. In 1979, the store had finally finished being built. The well-known Ecolin Jewelers is a unique name choice for a jewelry store. However, Ecolin was not the Bakers’ first choice when they first set up shop. “When we were sending name ideas off to Albany to be approved, we had picked three pretty plain names like The Gem Shop, The Gem & Mineral Store and Stony Brook Gems,” Linda said. “But we were rejected on all of them because someone else was using a similar name.”

Thus, Ecolin was born. Linda’s father suggested she take the “Eco” from her passion for ecology and use the first three letters from her name. The title was immediately approved, and Ecolin Jewelers was open for business. Along with running the business, Linda also worked nights pursuing her other passion, music. As a musician, she played piano and sang at clubs, on cruise ships and the Three Village Inn. “When I was doing music I worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday,” she said. “The idea was to get the business on its feet, and it worked.” Growing up on Long Island, Linda and Russell have always found themselves staying close to Stony Brook and Port Jefferson. The couple pride themselves on using American products. “I think what’s unique about our store is that we make and design a lot of the jewelry here. We don’t just buy from factories in China,” she said. Linda truly believes in supporting local and national American businesses, so all of the brands she buys from reflect the integrity of her own shop. A few of the brands she displays are LAGOS of Philadelphia and

William Henry of Oregon. During the pandemic, Ecolin shut down for a few months but reopened when curbside trade was permitted. Although operating

business by curbside, which included repairs and cleanings, may have been completely out of the ordinary for a jewelry shop, Linda made do with the obstacles thrown her way. “We had one or two customers during the pandemic who really wanted to get engaged, and we successfully pulled that off,” she said. “It was strange going outside and showing the jewelry in the parking lot, but you do what you have to do and adapt to whatever comes your way, just like the generations before us did.” The growth of Port Jefferson over the years has benefited Ecolin in many ways, especially with the increase in tourists. When Linda and Russell first bought the property, few people resided in the community. “It was sort of a ghost town,” she said. “We were part of that first wave of town improvement. There were only a few businesses surrounding us in the beginning.” With the major growth of the village came the major growth of Ecolin, keeping it successfully running for 50 years from its modest Stony Brook beginning.

Danfords Hotel, Marina & Spa sold to Rhode Island hospitality group

a unique wine experience with 20 wines and divine charcuterie

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

TPG Hotels, Resorts & Marinas — a Rhode Island-based hospitality group with hotels and resorts across the country — announced last week that it acquired Port Jefferson’s Danfords Hotel, Marina & Spa, located on the harbor in the village. Originally established in 1986 as Danfords Inn, it boasts 92 guest rooms and suites. Its marina features more than 100 slips and over 1,000 feet of side to tie with the capacity to accommodate vessels up to 250 feet in length. Hotel stayers and locals visit its onsite restaurant and lounge, WAVE. Some of the buildings on the property date back to the 1800s, when Port Jefferson was a bustling shipbuilding community. “Danfords Hotel, Marina & Spa in Port Jefferson is a remarkable destination located in one of the highest barriers-to-entry markets in all of North America,” said Robert Leven, chief investment officer of Procaccianti Companies, in a statement. “Danfords is a perfect fit as we accelerate the growth of our recently launched marina platform. We have several more acquisitions in the pipeline and intend to have a

significant concentration of East Coast marina properties by the end of 2021.” The transaction is one of three acquisitions in the last seven months in TPG’s newly launched marina platform. In Rhode Island, TPG acquired both Dutch Harbor Boat Yard in Jamestown this June, and Champlin’s Hotel, Resort and Marina on Block Island in December 2020. The latter property is currently undergoing extensive renovations as part of a comprehensive improvement plan. “It is not common to find the perfect buyer, but in this case we have achieved success,” Enrico Scarda, managing partner of The Crest Group, said in a statement. Additionally, as part of the transaction, TPG will also manage catering operations at The Waterview restaurant located at the Port Jefferson Country Club. TPG will embark on a property improvement plan at Danfords, including resortwide modernization, which includes the lodging and slip reservation systems and a full renovation of the resort’s guest rooms. Additional renovations and improvements are also planned for the marina facilities. The Crest Group was unable to further comment by press time.

Stony Brook restaurant Pentimento unable to renew lease

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A 27-year-old staple in Stony Brook Village Center will not be around once the autumn weather arrives. On July 29, the owners of Pentimento Restaurant posted to their Facebook page that they are unable to extend the term of their lease. The business, which added a small market to its restaurant during the pandemic, is set to close its doors Sept. 30. “We thank our loyal patrons and our wonderful staff for all the support they have given us over the past 27 years,” the Facebook post stated. Owner Dennis Young and restaurant manager Lisa Cusumano said in a phone interview they were saddened by the decision made by Eagle Realty Holdings and said despite suggestions to relocate and even considering it at first in their Facebook post, overall, it doesn’t make sense. “A lot of people have called us and said you could move here, or we could have this spot or that spot but Pentimento belongs in the village,” Cusumano said, adding that Young invested a good amount of money into the business nine years ago when he renovated the place. Young echoed the sentiment. “We thought about relocating and looked at some places, but I think Pentimento belongs where it is,” the owner said. “It’s not going to be

Pentimento otherwise.” Young said he was supposed to request an extension of the lease, which expires at the end of September, last year. He said while trying to keep the restaurant afloat during the pandemic, renewing slipped his mind. Both Young and Cusumano said they didn’t receive any reminder from the landlord to notify them about their intent to extend the lease. “We weren’t thinking about [the lease] because we were just trying to survive, to stay safe and out of the hospital and to help the community,” Cusumano said. “We didn’t even know there would be a restaurant. Restaurants were closing left and right.” According to Gloria Rocchio, president of Eagle Realty Holdings, tenants “must notify the landlord in writing of their intention to exercise the option to extend the lease term 365 days before the expiration of the existing lease.” While Young is thinking about retiring in the near future, he said friends were interested in buying the business and keeping Pentimento as it is. They also planned to keep Young and Cusumano employed with them. However, their offer was denied by the landlord, according to Young. Rocchio said that nothing is final yet due to a holding process and all other interested candidates needing to be interviewed to find the best tenant. “The whole thing of other people buying

it would be to keep the legacy and to keep Pentimento for the community, because we love the community and we know that the community depends on us,” Cusumano said. Rocchio said in a statement on behalf of the realty company’s board of trustees that in addition to not receiving notice about Young’s intention to renew the lease, the tenant failed “to comply with the requirement to maintain the septic system” which is described in the lease. Young said he couldn’t comment much on the septic system. “There is a problem,” he said. “We have had extremely high costs to maintain the cesspool system, and it’s been a problem that’s not been resolved.”

Cusumano said they have maintained the property properly the whole time they have occupied the building. “Over two years ago the tenant advised the landlord of their intention to sell the business and retire,” Rocchio said in the statement. “Recently the tenant informed the landlord they had a potential buyer and wanted an extension of the lease. The tenant asked for a much longer lease extension than is indicated in the present option to renew. The septic system issue must be resolved before a lease extension can even be discussed. The existing tenant to our knowledge has no intention to stay. So, we told the existing tenant we would interview their buyer and other candidates. That’s what was done. This is the present status.” In response to Pentimento’s announcement that the restaurant is closing, restaurant patrons took to social media to express their dismay and showed support for the business. Young and Cusumano said they have been overwhelmed by the response. While critics have posted on the restaurant’s Facebook accounts criticism of the landlord, the owners have only used their social media postings to inform the community of the closing and encourage customers to use gift cards previously purchased. “Dennis and I are completely overwhelmed by the community support,” Cusumano said. “We had no idea that that many people would reach out and try to save this restaurant. It’s just unbelievable.”

Brookhaven sets up new sunscreen stations at beaches BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Town of Brookhaven pools and beaches will now have stations so people can get their SPF. During a press conference at Cedar Beach West in Mount Sinai Thursday, July 29, Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) announced that new, free sunscreen stations will start to pop up thanks to a collaboration with Northwell Health. The touchless applicator stations will release the sunscreen so people can use it before they head to the beach — a reminder as soon as they walk in that it’s there. “We can’t stress the importance of sunscreen enough,” Bonner said. “You have to start when you’re very young, you have to prevent the burns and prevent the exposure that builds up over time — even if it’s an overcast day.” Nancy Uzo, vice president for public

affairs at Mather Hospital, said that skin cancer affects one in five adults by the time they hit age 70. “If you have had five bad sunburns in your lifetime, your risk of developing melanoma goes up substantially,” she said. The free sunscreen program was initiated to generate awareness about how sunscreen can make a difference in the spread of skin cancer and melanoma. The program was launched by Creative Advertising Concepts which set up the first sunscreen program, in the City of Long Beach with partner Winthrop Hospital, back in 2017. Currently, CAC manages 13 programs with 11 on Long Island and two in Westchester County. The sunscreen dispensers are endorsed by IMPACT Melanoma — a national nonprofit dedicated to working to reduce the incidence of melanoma. Romaine said that when he was young, he never used sunscreen — and it led to skin

cancer later on. “I’ve had surgery on my arm, surgery on my head, the tip of my nose from skin cancer,” he

said. “It is something that happens if you get too much sun exposure. … You’ve got to protect yourself. We have to say ‘no’ to skin cancer.”

PCR nasal swab. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hasn’t changed its definition of exposure, which includes being within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes indoors with an infected person, Popp recognized that “one can argue that transmission of infection may occur in less than 15 minutes.” The Huntington Hospital doctor added that riding in an elevator or sharing a car ride with an infected person for under 15 minutes is “very risky due to the small, enclosed space without ventilation associated with the Delta variant that is 50% more transmissible.”

Better treatment

Doctors, nurses and other health care professionals have benefited from their experience with the virus. Hospital administrators feel prepared to handle the variety of symptoms patients have when they need medical attention. “We now have clear parameters regarding the use of remdesivir, steroids, and other agents,” SBU’s Donelan explained in an email. “Proning is now a proven patient management technique. The role of anticoagulation is well understood.” The proning term means putting a patient in a prone position so the individual is lying face down. Dhuper said the length of COVID stays at St. Charles have declined because of better treatment and the overall better immune

status of those who contract the virus. “We have come up with better management in terms of who needs to be ventilated, and who needs to be in a prone position prior to ventilation,” he said. As for the implications for schools, which will reopen for the fall within the next month, medical care professionals urged parents and educational administrators to remind students of the same messages from earlier in the pandemic. Students should wear masks, social distance, wash their hands and, most importantly, get vaccinated if they are 16 and above, Popp urged. Current drug trials are underway for children under 16, with results expected in December, Popp said, which means that students in that age group will attend inperson classes with the same protections, albeit amid a more transmissible form of the virus than last year. Dhuper reminded residents that the response to the virus can range from asymptomatic to extended hospital stays or death. “People have to know that [these outcomes] can happen in any age group,” he said. “It all depends on the viral load and the immune response. The bottom line is that you have to protect yourself, and you have to protect your family and the community around you. The only way we can be ahead of the curve is by taking the vaccine.”

Port Jefferson hosts first all-day music festival

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Peace, love and local music. That was the idea behind Port Jeff’s first Port Palooza — a day-long festival at the Jill Nees Russell Stage at Harborfront Park. Spearheaded by Kevin Wood, the village’s parking administrator and owner of The Space downtown, the event was cosponsored by the village as a way to bring people together after the last year and a half. “I think it’s going to be the first of many, and it’s a great launch,” Mayor Margot Garant said at the concert. “It’s exactly what we envisioned. So, I’m looking forward to doing it year after year and I think it’s going to grow.” From noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 31, local artists took on the stage, including Flamenco guitarist Jonathan Fritz; Port Jefferson’s Cole Fortier and his father, Andrew; Mount Sinai’s The Como Brothers; musicians from Port Jefferson’s School of Rock All Stars; Common Ground; Grand Folk Railroad; and a special performance by the Frank Catalano Jazz Quartet from Chicago. Jeffrey Sanzel of Theatre Three kicked off the event with an invocation. Wood said this was something that happened after COVID-19 restrictions began to lift. “I thought people needed to get together,” he said. “Peace, love and local music. And that’s exactly what this is: peace, love and local music, with the exception of the last act which we’re importing from Chicago.” Although the jazz quartet is Chicago-

based, it still had a local connection. Wood’s grandfather, Al Gallodoro, was a world-renowned saxophone and clarinet player with the Paul Whiteman and NBC Symphony orchestras. Catalano knew of him, too. Wood and the musician met once at a New York City club, and they began talking. Catalano eventually bought one of Gallodoro’s saxophones. “It couldn’t have gone to anyone better,” Wood said. Ending with jazz, the festival had it all — pianos, guitars and heavy metal. The one thing that didn’t make the set list this year was rockabilly, “but that will happen next year,” Wood said. The Como Brothers took the stage, playing their viral Port Jeff anthem, “Take Me Home” along with several new songs. Over the last two years, the brothers have been releasing such songs sporadically on their Spotify account, which will lead to an eventual EP release. Matt Como said when Wood reached out to them asking to play, they were thrilled. “This is actually the first full, original gig we’ve done in a while because of the pandemic,” Matt said. “It’s great to be playing for people again,” Andrew Como added. “We’ve been holed up in our basement writing new songs, so this gave us the chance to show people what we’ve been working on.” Wood said that although the event was free for all to enjoy, raffles were held to raise money for the Middle Island-based animal rescue, the Star Foundation.

Team USA Softball coach reflects on mental health, COVID Olympics BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

“There was no release of stress to go out and just relax,” Eriksen said. “Elite athletes need that pressure release and coaches need it.” Indeed, in addition to restrictions placed on the team, the athletes regularly heard from Japanese citizens who were upset that the Olympics even took place. “Everywhere we went, we heard protests,” Eriksen said. “It’s unnerving. You’re there in allegedly the greatest athletic event in the world and in the host country, they don’t want you. When you’re hearing voices coming over megaphones behind a police line, it’s not normal.” To counterbalance the stress and help the team, Eriksen said he slackened the reins, giving his players the green light to get “goofy.” Led by infielder Valerie Arioto, 32, the team danced on the bus. Arioto did the “greatest rendition of Cher” and Kelly Clarkson, Eriksen said. The head coach also allowed the team to listen to music while practicing, giving them a chance to blow off steam while preparing for upcoming games.

Some days, you win a close race against the best in the world by a fingernail, the way Michael Phelps did in 2008 in the 100-meter butterfly. Other days, your team, after thousands of hours of practice, working hard, watching video and dancing on a bus — more on this later — you lose by that same margin. That’s how Team USA Softball’s coach Ken Eriksen, who contributed his last volunteer hour to traveling around the world on behalf of the country, felt after losing 2-0 to Japan in the gold medal game at the Tokyo Olympics. “The difference between gold or silver is almost microscopic,” Eriksen said. “Japan had a good day.” A turning point in the gold medal game came in the bottom of the sixth inning when American third-basemen Amanda Chidester lined a ball that hit off her counterpart at third base and into the shortstop’s mitt, who threw to second base to get a double play, ending a Mental health potential American rally from a 2-0 deficit. Eriksen said the softball team had already “When that play occurred, that’s the first focused on the mental health aspects of the time in the game that I said, ‘This may not be game, which gymnast Simone Biles brought to our day,’” Eriksen, a 1979 graduate of Ward the world’s attention when she withdrew from Melville High School said. The head coach was pleased with the the team and several individual events. “We’ve been ahead of the curve on this preparation and effort from a for three or four years,” team of 15 players, including Eriksen said. pitching legends Cat While people talk about Osterman and Monica Abbott, softball and baseball as games who returned for one more of failure because a batter is chance at an Olympic medal. considered successful if he or “I thought we played she gets on base once in three a very good tournament,” tries, Eriksen said the softball Eriksen said from Tampa, team describes the experience Florida, where he has been the as a “game of opportunity,” University of South Florida by defining successes in ways head softball coach for the last other than batting averages. 24 years. —Ken Eriksen Eriksen is grateful to Biles Outside the lines, and Japanese tennis player the Olympics presented Naomi Osaka, who withdrew numerous challenges. Even from Wimbledon rather than on their way to the Olympics, it was clear this would be a unique experience, face questions from the media, for raising the as the only people on the flight to Japan were issue of mental health for athletes. “People think of athletes as having ice in either athletes or the military. Once in the country, they had numerous their veins,” he said. “They are human beings. The pressure on anybody that wears a U.S. restrictions as a result of the Delta variant. “The Japanese wouldn’t let you do much,” uniform … is almost unfair.” The rest of the world has improved in Eriksen said. The team and coaches went to the ballpark numerous sports, including softball, in part and spent much of their time at the hotel. They because American coaches have helped train couldn’t go outside and socialize with other them, Eriksen added. Through the Olympics, athletes. Inside the village, they had to put on American players compete against their college roommates or coaches who worked with them their masks everywhere. Each morning, the players and coaches had earlier in their careers. After the gold medal game ended in a COVID saliva test, which built anxiety as the team waited for results in the afternoon. heartbreak for players who put everything

they had into the game, Eriksen said he shared a few words with the team. “This game will not be the toughest they’ll ever play,” he recalled. “The toughest game will start tomorrow: the rest of their life.” He encouraged players to call him for any future support. Having been an assistant coach with the gold-medal winning team in Athens in 2004, Eriksen recognized that the game fades quickly. “Within five minutes, you have the realization that it’s over and the climb is the most exhilarating part,” he said. Eriksen was pleased to have the support and leadership of 38-year-old Osterman and 36-year-old Abbott, who served as inspirations to their teammates. He described the two pitchers as the Nolan Ryans of their era. “What God gave these people is absolutely rare,” Eriksen said, as they have maintained their athleticism well into their 30s.

Accumulated wisdom

After all his years on the diamond, first as a baseball player at Ward Melville and in college at USF, and then as a coach, Eriksen shared a few thoughts. When he was hired, his athletic director at USF told him never to get in a conversation

with parents because he’ll always lose. Twice in his career, he removed players from the team because their parents questioned him about playing time. As for being around men’s and women’s teams, he suggested a difference among athletes of each gender. “Women have to feel good to play good, men have to play good to feel good,” he said. In his coaching career, he recalled one moment that mirrored a scene from the Kurt Russell movie “Miracle,” in which the actor played Coach Herb Brooks from the 1980 ice hockey team that defeated the Russians amid the Cold War in Lake Placid. Before tryouts ended, Russell gave a stunned Olympic hockey league director his list of players. In 2019, Eriksen said he, too, handed the Olympic softball league director a list of the 15 players who would be on the team before tryouts ended. Eriksen said he is comforted by his decision to retire from coaching Team USA. “If I never get on an airplane again, I’ll be okay,” he said. “Sometimes, it’s good to wake up in your own bed, drink coffee on the back porch and listen to the birds.

Elected officials comment on AG’s report regarding sexual allegations against Cuomo BY RITA J. EGAN AND JULIANNE MOSHER RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM; JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Local elected officials weighed in after New York State Attorney General Letitia James (D) released a report saying independent investigators concluded that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) harassed multiple women — including current and former employees — from 2013-20. The investigation began in March and James appointed the investigators, according to a press release from the Attorney General’s Office. “This is a sad day for New York because independent investigators have concluded that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and, in doing so, broke the law,” James said in the press release. “I am grateful to all the women who came forward to tell their stories in painstaking detail, enabling investigators to get to the truth. No man — no matter how powerful — can be allowed to harass women or violate our human rights laws, period.” According to the press release, Cuomo was also interviewed. The report said the governor denied the most serious allegations. He also gave “blanket denials” or said he had no recollection of specific incidents. During an Aug. 3 recorded statement, Cuomo denied the allegations and said there are generational and cultural differences in the way he expresses himself compared to others.

“The investigation has found that the governor engaged in abusive behavior toward women, including subordinates, created a hostile work environment and violated state and federal law,” the statement read. “We commend the brave women who came forward and spoke truth to power. The time has come for Governor Andrew Cuomo to do the right thing for the people of New York state and resign.”

State Senate

State Sen. Mario Mattera (R-St. James) also thanked “the brave women who courageously stood up to tell their stories of harassment” in a statement. “This is truly a sad day for our state, and it is time for the governor to do the right thing for the good of New York’s future,” Mattera said. “Since these troubling allegations were first brought to light, I have supported an independent investigation to uncover the full truth and bring justice for these women. Now that the attorney general’s report has confirmed and corroborated these disturbing actions, I am renewing my call for the governor to resign immediately.” Mattera said in the statement that if the governor does not resign that the state Assembly should impeach him: “While I would hope that the hardworking men and women of New York can be spared the expense and damage such action would cause, it is vital U.S. Congress that the Assembly Democratic U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (RConference act on behalf of the NY1), who has been named residents if Governor Cuomo the presumptive Republican continues to refuse to step aside.” nominee for governor in the Mattera added that the 2022 race, in a statement scandal has gotten in the way of demanded that Cuomo resign recovering from the pandemic. —Mario Mattera or be impeached. “The reality is that this “Cuomo institutionalized continuing cloud hanging widespread abuse within his over our state is impeding our administration and tried to ability to govern,” he said. “It silence his many victims, which enabled him cannot be allowed to impede the much-needed to continue openly preying on those around work that must be done to recover from the him,” Zeldin said in the statement. “Over the ongoing COVID crisis. The residents of our last few months, Cuomo has continued his state need to know that their government will attempts to undermine the investigations into not allow any distractions to impede those his wrongdoing and those carrying them out, efforts to rebuild our economy, help our and I have no doubt he will continue to do so businesses grow and create the jobs that our following the release of the report.” residents need.” Zeldin’s neighboring congressman, Tom State Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) Suozzi (D-NY3), released a joint statement agreed in a statement Cuomo must resign, saying along with congressmen Hakeem Jeffries it would be “in the best interest of the state.” (D-NY8) and Gregory Meeks (D-NY5). The “The attorney general’s findings of sexual representatives said in the statement that harassment and violations of New York the attorney general “conducted a complete, State’s sexual harassment policy are credible and deeply troubling,” Gaughran said. “I thorough and professional investigation.”

‘This is truly a sad day for our state, and it is time for the governor to do the right thing for the good of New York’s future.’

thank the women who bravely spoke out about the governor’s reprehensible conduct.” State Sen. Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) said that he called on Cuomo to resign in March. “Today, after the findings of the attorney general’s report, I renew my call for him to resign immediately,” he said in a statement. “If the governor, driven by his arrogance and hubris refuses to resign, then the Assembly Democratic Conference must take immediate action and begin impeachment proceedings. Palumbo added that “the attorney general’s report makes it clear that he is no longer fit to serve the people of New York as its top executive.” He said that he commends “the brave women who showed the courage to expose the pervasive culture of abuse and harassment in the top echelons of our state government.”

State Assembly

Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio (R-Riverhead) released a statement on the report saying the evidence is damning. “No one should suffer the systemic and frankly disgusting sexual harassment that the governor engaged in. This was a nonpartisan and independent investigation. I am calling once again on Gov. Cuomo to step down,” she said. “He cannot serve the people of New York any longer. He should be ashamed of himself

and, finally, do what is right. If not, he should be impeached immediately while he faces prosecution and ongoing criminal investigation by the Assembly Judiciary Committee.” Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said in a statement that if the governor didn’t resign, impeachment would be necessary. “I support and commend the numerous women who courageously spoke the truth,” Englebright said. “They deserve justice. The attorney general’s findings are clear and condemning. If Governor Andrew Cuomo refuses to resign then the Assembly must act with deliberate speed to impeach.” Assemblyman Mike Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) in a phone interview said when the allegations first surfaced, he believed the governor was entitled to due process, but now he feels the governor should resign or be impeached and said the governor is a liability for Democrats. “He’ll try to protect his legacy,” Fitzpatrick said. “He’ll try to protect the family name, but I think he’s already tarnished that and ruined his legacy. It’s a shame.” Fitzpatrick added he and other elected officials hope that Cuomo will also be held accountable for the handling of nursing home deaths and what resources were involved in the writing of his recent book. “Each one alone would merit impeachment,” Fitzpatrick said.

Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity There are none who can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times). Oh Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands. (3 times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can obtain my goals. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me.

Editorial

Journalism help may be on the way

Imagine the hope in newsrooms across the nation to know that a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate may resuscitate the news business on local levels. New outlets, especially print media, have been suffering for decades. In the late 1990s, computers became a staple in homes and gathering information became easier than ever for readers. The introduction of smartphones, social media and apps helped hasten the downward slope of print. The pandemic was the final nail in the coffin of many magazines and newspapers across this nation as they saw advertising dollars diminish due to many businesses shutting down. Even if temporarily, they felt there was no reason to place an ad. Sponsored by U.S. Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ) and Dan Newhouse (R-WA), the Local Journalism Sustainability Act, if passed, will help local newspapers as well as digital platforms and local radio and television stations on multiple levels, as subscribers, advertisers and news outlets will be able to take advantage of tax credits for five years. Americans who subscribe to a local nonprofit news publisher will be eligible for a five-year credit of up to $250 annually. That credit means covering 80% of subscription costs in the first year and 50% in the following four years. That credit can even be used when making a donation to a local nonprofit news publishing company. Businesses will have more financial flexibility to spend on advertising with local newspapers, television, radio stations and digital-only platforms as well as nonprofit news organizations with a five-year credit of up to $5,000 in the first year and up to $2,500 in the next four years. Local news outlets will be able to retain and hire more journalists as their five-year credit will be up to $25,000 per journalist in year one and $15,000 in the following four years. This can cover 50% of compensation up to a $50,000 salary in the first year and 30% of the salary up to $50,000 in the last four years. The federal government providing tax credits helps news outlets and, at the same time, keeps its distance by not being closely aligned to any media platform. This allows journalists to continue providing unbiased reporting. For local publishers and journalists, whose job it is to keep readers up to date on what’s going on in their town and share their neighbors’ achievements, the task has become difficult as the number of newsroom employees has shrunk to a small percentage of what it once was and resources are stretched thin. At times the financial constraints prevent reporters to be everywhere they need to be to ask important questions. So, it’s no surprise that many newspaper journalists support the Local Journalism Sustainability Act as the bipartisan bill can be the answer in helping to keep jobs. One problem with tax credits is that they only go to businesses that show profits, because credits come off the top of the taxes they pay. Small businesses can have no profits or razor-thin ones at this time. With that being said, we applaud our local congressmen Tom Suozzi (D-NY3) and Lee Zeldin (R-NY1) who are cosponsors of the bill. And, we urge our readers who believe in local journalism to contact their federal representatives and ask them to support this act.

Letters to the Editor Left in the dark

It is said we live in the Information Age. However, if you are a resident of the Town of Brookhaven with concerns about issues affecting your community, you might be hard pressed to come to that conclusion. Advocacy groups and stakeholders making efforts to ensure the health and safety of the neighborhoods around the town landfill in Yaphank and North Bellport have run up against a “cone of silence” when requesting basic data and information about this noxious facility. The Freedom of Information Act requires any governmental agency in New York state to acknowledge receipt of a request for information within five days and provide a comprehensive answer within 20 business days. I know instances where more than three weeks and even greater have elapsed where basic questions have gone unanswered by the town. This violates the spirit if not the letter of the law which states “the people’s right to know the process of governmental decisionmaking and to review the documents and statistics leading to determinations is basic to our society. Access to such information should not be thwarted by shrouding it with the cloak of secrecy or confidentiality.” Most recently, there was a public hearing on July 15 on a motion by the Town Board to rezone 136 acres surrounding the landfill changing it from A1 residential and L1 all to L1 – light industrial where warehouses and other activities will continue to adversely impact those communities. However, the Town Board, with the help of the town clerk, attempted to rush through that proposal without the knowledge and awareness of impacted residents in the area. There was no public mention of this action at all until two days before the hearing and no one even knew the actual location of the site until the day before. Worse yet, the surrounding residents on Yaphank Avenue were never formally notified of a zoning change affecting their property. All of this is inexcusable. FOIL states “a free society is maintained when government is responsive and responsible to the public, and when the public is aware of governmental actions.” I am left wondering if we have been left in the dark so long in Brookhaven Town that we can no longer recognize what a “free society” looks like. Ira Costell Port Jefferson Station

Thank you to brave officers

Dunn, Fanone, Gonell and Hodges. These are names that many of us never would have given a second thought to. These are the last names of four heroic members of the United States Capitol Police and the District of Columbia police who testified in front of the House Select Committee responsible for investigating the horrific insurrection that occurred on Jan. 6. Officer Harry Dunn delivered a heart-wrenching statement describing the verbal and physical abuse he encountered as homegrown terrorists screamed racial epithets and threatened his life with taunts of “kill him with his own gun.” Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, a naturalized citizen and U.S. Army veteran, tearily related his experience of being called a “traitor” and “a disgrace” for performing his sworn duty to protect the Capitol and those in it. Officer Michael Fanone painfully recounted the horror of being pulled into the crowd, beaten, shocked repeatedly with a taser, robbed of his badge, knocked unconscious and suffering a heart attack. And when asked what they were defending, Officer Daniel Hodges simply replied “Democracy.” These courageous heroes, four among so many others, put their lives on the line to defend what so many take for granted: our democracy, our freedoms and our sense of country. While Democrats work to ensure that an insurgency of this magnitude never happens again, Republicans continue to denounce the probe as just another “witch hunt” and deny that there should be any repercussions for those who took part in the attack. People died on Jan. 6, and for what? Why were these officers’ lives endangered by a call from a madman to “Stop the Steal”? How long will the actions and images of that day haunt these men as they attempt a return to normalcy? There is no restitution for the sacrifices made by these officers, and the others who sought to protect our democracy on that day. We simply must ensure that it never happens again, that no individual, president or common citizen infiltrate the minds of so many with untruths that threaten our safety, our livelihood and our enduring spirit that makes us the United States of America. Thank you, officers Dunn, Fanone, Gonell and Hodges. We are forever in your debt. Stefanie Werner East Setauket

Learning from the Olympics

As I watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, I was moved by very strong emotions. These emotions were based in the hope that at some time, in the near future, we would learn to be “one” people. You see, I was raised by a mother who was herself raised in a home with Black servants including a Black nanny. My mother taught my sister and I to see the person — not skin tone, not national origin, not religion. In fact, I try never to see “Black” or “white” I try to only see an infinite number of shades of “brown.” True, there are people in that infinite number of shades of brown who I don’t like. But I don’t like them because of who they are as a person not because of their skin tone. In 1997 I was, for three days, hooked up to an “artificial” heart. This artificial heart kept me alive until two of my major arteries could be bypassed. I didn’t ask whose blood was preloaded into the system. I don’t think anyone ever does. What I do know is the blood wasn’t “white” or “black,” it was red and I was grateful to get it. Most of the hate in our society is brought about by people or groups who are trying to increase their personal wealth or power. It makes no difference if they are on the left or right. It makes no difference what religion they claim to support. They want you to fight and die for their “supposed” cause. Stop and think. Watch the Olympic athletes, filled with hope for a good outcome. While they will try with all their might and skill, they don’t want to kill anyone in order to win. It is long past time for us to learn from them. Unfortunately, this may be just one man’s opinion. What do you think? Francis G. Gibbons Sr. Terryville

Looking to slow the growth of self-copying slot machines

elcome to the casino. Just by being alive today, you’ve all punched your ticket to the worldwide slot machine. Now, the machines operate the way people expect, most of the time. They follow their programming, they make the loud noises as the three wheels inside of them spin and then show images on those three wheels. The machine doesn’t cost anything to play. You don’t have to put in quarters or tokens or anything else. You just sit down and a machine D. None starts spinning. of the above In fact, when you sit in one of our relatively BY DANIEL DUNAIEF unclean chairs, because we’re much more about playing the game than we

are about cleanliness or safety, the process begins. The chairs are close together, so you and your neighbor can compare notes on how you’re doing in this game, can share stories about your lives and can enjoy time out, away from the limitations of quarantine and all the other frustrations that you’ve had to endure for so long. We do everything we can to discourage masks. We want you to be able to share the freedom that comes from seeing each other’s faces clearly. And, if you should happen to need to use the bathroom, we don’t have any annoying signs about washing your hands. In fact, we don’t even recommend soap. What is the value of soap, after all? It’s probably some corporate scheme to boost profits somewhere. We mean, come on, right? The cavemen didn’t have soap and they lived long enough to become fossils. That should be good enough for you, too, right? Before they died, they drew cool things on the wall, sharing stories that

survived years after they did. Now, we want to share a few details about our cool slot machines. You want to know a secret? We didn’t build these machines. We know, it’s hard to believe, but they just appeared one day, as if a stork or another kind of flying creature brought them. Well, not all of them. That’s the incredible thing. A few of them appeared and, after we started playing them, they copied themselves. The more we played them, the more they produced new copies. Now, you might have heard that these machines can be bad for you. But, hey, so many other things are bad for you, too, and you still do them, right? You have a little too much to eat or drink now and then, and you maybe put a recycling bottle in the wrong trash can, but who pays attention to those things? Anyway, so, these original machines built themselves the same way, most of the time. Each time a new machine appeared, they worked the same way, with images flying across the screen.

Every so often, when the machines made enough copies of themselves, they changed slightly. We’re not exactly sure why or how that happened, but it’s perfectly normal, we think. The newest versions of these machines spin at a faster rate and also copy themselves more rapidly. One of them, which is now the most common type, has a big D on its side. That’s the dominant machine. Actually, at this point, we’d kind of prefer people stop playing the game. You see, each time you play the game, not only does that D version copy itself, but our people are telling us that we run the risk of creating other types of the machine that might have worse features. But, wait, how can you stop playing? What can keep you out of a casino that’s everywhere? Well, there’s a special thing you can get at any local drug store that someone puts in your arm. After you get it, you become almost invisible to the machine. That may be the best way to get away from these monsters.

How coronavirus changed the way we lived in 2020

ntuitively we know that our behavior changed in just about every way during the unprecedented events of last year. The American Time Use Survey, a responsibility of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, asks thousands of people annually to record how they spend their daily minutes, and they came up with some research to back up our intuition on how we adapted to COVID-19 in 2020. The New York Times covered the story last Thursday, breaking out a number of categories for comparison. As far as non-work and non-school time, Between the data was divided you and me into sleeping; watching BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF TV, movies or videos; playing games; cooking; doing housework; grooming; exercising; and texting, phone calls

and video chats. It was further broken down by demographic groups: 15-24; 25-44; 45-64; and 65+. As far as sleeping goes, all the age groups slept more, with those 25-44 and 45-64 getting the most rest and both the 15-24 and the 65+ cohorts having the smallest increases. That makes sense to me because those getting more sleep are probably the primary workforce. The ones who did not have to commute as much and could sleep a little later. The 45-64 and the 15-24 groups also spent the most extra time watching TV, movies and videos, about 25 minutes more per day. Yay for Netflix and the other streaming services who introduced us to binging. By far and away the most increase playing games was among the 15-24 folks, averaging 24 more minutes a day. Mostly all four groups didn’t change much in the amount of cooking they did, but while the others increased slightly, the 15-24 category decreased six minutes a day. Doing housework wasn’t much different from 2019, with the oldest category completely unchanged. So what went down? Are you surprised to know it was grooming? The others dropped from four to

seven minutes a day, but the youngest members increased four-tenths of a minute. Exercising increased four to five minutes, except for the oldest set, who decreased their exercising by five minutes daily. And everybody spent more time texting, phoning and participating in video chats, with the youngest crowd up eight minutes a day. Last year was a difficult time for those forced to be alone. The survey tracks people during waking hours by how much time spent with people outside the household, with household members only and with those alone. The numbers for time with outsiders sank to one hour and 33 minutes less a day, while for household members, the amount rose by 31 minutes. The amount of alone time rose 57 minutes on average out of an eight-hour day. Remember all these numbers measure increases, not absolute time. For those in nursing homes, for example, who were unable to receive visitors, it was a miserably lonely year. And socializing among children was severely limited. The greatest disruption caused by the coronavirus was in the lives of parents. With schools closed, parents became homeschoolers,

particularly for children in elementary school. This burden could be in addition to working on a job from home and it affected women more than men because in most cases they carry the greater responsibility for child care. Sometimes it forced women to quit their jobs. Single mothers were particularly disrupted by the situation. The nature of work also changed. For starters, in 2019, only one in seven people worked remotely. Last year it was one in three. And the changes laid bare disparities among workers. Hispanic workers were more likely to lose their jobs. Black workers were most often required to go to their jobs in person, thus being more exposed to infection. White and Asian workers were often able to work from home. There were also stark differences depending on educational levels. Those with graduate and professional degrees generally spent more hours last year working from home than in the office. Those with a high school diploma or less were often considered “essential workers” and had to function in person in the workplace, Will this data cause change in the future?
