Election 2020

GOP Takes Early Lead in Elections, Though Thousands of Ballots Still Need Counting BY KYLE BARR, RITA J. EGAN AND JULIANNE MOSHER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Capping off months of anticipation, the 2020 election came to a head Tuesday night, though New Yorkers will still need to wait weeks before they know the true outcomes of state and federal races. As it stands, Republicans have taken an early lead based on unofďŹ cial counts of in-person polling numbers by the Suffolk County Board of Elections. Nick LaLota, Republican BOE commissioner, said absentee ballots will start to be tabulated Nov. 10 after the board has had the opportunity to remove the absentee ballots of those voters who also cast a ballot on a machine, and have bipartisan teams compare the signatures on the oath envelopes to the voters signatures on ďŹ le. There have been well over 100,000 absentee ballots received in Suffolk County for the three congressional districts alone, and there will likely be more incoming as ballots are received as long as they were postmarked by Election Day. Election experts have also said those absentee ballots are more likely to favor Democrats. In one of the most contested races for the NY1 Congressional seat, Lee Zeldin has already

As of Nov. 4 Republican Mario Mattera, left, holds a near 30-point lead over his opponent Democrat Michael Siderakis in the race for state Senate in District 2. In state Assembly District 4, incumbent Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) trailed his opponent Republican Michael Ross but was confident that absentee votes would be in his favor. File photos

moved to declare victory. Zeldin is sitting at 61% of in-person votes while Goroff holds a little under 39%. The Zeldin campaign released a statement declaring victory at 11 p.m. Election Day. “I am deeply honored and humbled that the families of Long Island have entrusted me to continue representing our great Congressional District,� Zeldin said in a statement. Democratic contender Nancy Goroff’s campaign manager, Jacob Sarkozi, responded

at 1:30 a.m. that, “With tens of thousands of ballots left to be opened, we owe it to voters that every single one be counted.� There are currently 75,091 absentee ballots for CD1 uncounted as of Nov. 4. Speaking to Goroff the evening of Nov. 3, before polls closed, she said the huge turnout in the district has been “amazing,� adding there has been a good deal of excitement about the coming results.

While in-person votes were still to be counted as of Election Day, with the thousands of absentee ballots still to be counted, she stressed it’s still too early to tell winners with any degree of certainty, but added the turnout is a good sign. With an energized electorate not seen in many years, polling places across Long Island saw a huge rush early in the morning Nov. 3, with residents across the North Shore reporting hour or more wait times in chilling temperatures. Lines got progressively shorter over the day, and by 8:30 a.m. people were reporting between 20to 40-minute lines. The night of Nov. 3, both Suffolk County party committees held online livestream events, rather than the usual election parties held at Stereo Garden in Patchogue for the Republicans and IBEW Local 25 in Hauppauge for the Democrats. The Dems palled around in a short hour-long Zoom call before signing off. The Republicans spent the night taking calls from candidates and committee members, relishing the early polling numbers. For state Senate in District 2, Republican Mario Mattera held a near 30-point lead over his Democratic opponent Mike Siderakis at ELECTIONS CONTINUED ON A11

Ward Melville Grad Brings Ben’s Garden to Stony Brook Village BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Ben Busko is bringing Ben’s Garden, with its copper coasters, cocktail magnets, French crystal paperweights, photo frames, greeting cards and numerous other items, to Stony Brook Village Center in the middle of November. Renting the space in between Chico’s and Chocolate Works, Busko is excited about the opportunity to open a store so close to his roots. Born in Setauket, the business owner is a 2002 graduate from Ward Melville High School. “It’s nice that we’re coming full circle and are now opening in Stony Brook village,� he said. One of the first members of The Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Youth Corps, Busko is delighted that his business will become a part of the village center. Ward Melville was a “businessman, a U.S. soldier, and then he also started these tremendous businesses,� Busko said. “He had a vision to turn around the village to face the harbor and create a shopping experience.� Busko is pleased with the attention to

detail that The Ward Melville Heritage Organization has committed to shopping. “You can’t go to Newport Beach in California and find the standards Stony Brook village has in terms of trying to maintain its historical integrity,� he said. By planting dogwood trees, which were Dorothy Melville’s favorite trees, around parking spots, the foundation is demonstrating its commitment to a high level of detail. The Stony Brook version of Ben’s Garden will celebrate a level of detail that has characterized its other stores. The village store will have herringbone flooring, which Busko described as being almost “driftwood colored.� It will also have a string of numerous marshmallows that will hang from the window to look like snow on a fishing line. “Kids look up and wonder at these marshmallows,� said Busko, whose other stores have them as well. The window design, which will take six to eight people over a week and a half to create, will make the entire store smell like sugar, he said. In the first few weeks after the store opens, it will add holiday ornaments. Focused on developing personal touches that define his

these ornaments as “evergreen� products. Red ribbons or signs such as “Love me, love my dog� can be out all year round. Busko is determined to focus his store’s efforts on environmental sustainability. Cards are made and printed with wind power, while clear bags that look like plastic are made from corn, which dissolves in water. Customers can scan a QR code on the back of the bags and boxes to see how the product was made and the lengths the company went to minimize its carbon footprint. One of the unique elements of the village store is a collection of various types of maps that will be available on different mediums and price points. These items will include state and county maps, also nautical charts. Busko plans to do some hand painting of maps of areas like Stony Brook Harbor, Setauket, Old Field and other locations surrounding Stony Brook. While the front of the store will provide retail space for customers searching for gifts and artwork, he is designing the back half of the space to provide venues for potential evening events.

Trump Caravans Roll Through the North Shore

BY KYLE BARR AND RITA J. EGAN KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Flags flying, the Trump crowd rolled through local communities Oct. 31, despite some local opposition. Just a few days before the election date Nov. 3, caravans supporting President Donald Trump’s (R) reelection campaign could be seen on major roadways on County Road 83 in Mount Sinai and Route 25A in Port Jefferson and Setauket. For around 30 minutes, vehicles bearing flags supporting Trump’s reelection rolled down Main Street in Port Jefferson. A crowd of around 20 people stood by the side cheering on the car parade. Most were not wearing masks. The parade in Port Jefferson was conducted by the rightwing online group Setauket Patriots. Their Trumpalozza 3 car parade was a sequel to a separate Trump caravan held Oct. 17, one that lasted for close to an hour and saw hundreds of vehicles rolling down Main Street. Officials from the Village of Port Jefferson posted a statement to its website and Facebook Oct. 28 before the parade, saying the village does not “condone lawless or disrespectful behavior within our village, regardless of any content or message that any group may convey.” Despite some residents’ complaints of the prior parade, officials said they legally do not have the authority to stop a moving vehicle or issue citations for traffic law. Both Suffolk County police and village code enforcement were present, keeping spectators behind the barricades and directing traffic down Main Street and up West Broadway. A crowd of counterprotesters, including the North Country Peace Group which normally protests at the corner of North Country Road and Bennetts Road in Setauket, gathered along the south side of the road as the caravan passed. Joining the peace group were people holding a rally against police brutality. A few from the south side crossed

Route 25A to talk to members of the North Country Patriots, who stand across from the peace group every Saturday. One girl walked across the street to stand in front of a member of the patriots. The two stared each other down for several minutes. As the caravan passed Bennetts Road, rally members, who held signs showing support for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and vice president nominee Kamala Harris or that read Black Lives Matter and similar sentiments, knelt or turned their backs on the Trump caravan when it came by. Many raised their fists, a regular symbol for BLM. Police officers on the scene said they would arrest anyone who got out of their cars in the caravan or protesters who went in the street to confront them. NCPG member Susan Perretti said the peace group asked everyone to kneel or turn their back on the caravan as a way to conduct a peaceful protest. She said the group also sang “We Shall Overcome.” “I think that kept our reaction more in the lines of the nonviolent approach we with the North Country Peace Group advocate,” Perretti said. She also praised the police officers who she said were a big help in keeping order, and who walked across the street with those who chose to engage with the patriots. A person on the patriots’ side also came over to speak with counterprotesters. Though she said conversations between the two groups were mostly nonconfrontational, video online shows an incident of members of the patriots and counterprotesters yelling back and forth and shouting crass language at each other. Another car caravan supporting Trump and the reelection of U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY1) got going the same day, starting at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai. The caravan, formed by the Brookhaven Town Republican Committee and online group Brookhaven Republican Friends saw about 20 people and their vehicles stream down PatchogueMount Sinai Road going south before eventually turning onto Sunrise Highway and ending at Zeldin’s Shirley offices.

Committee Reimagines Annual Holiday Parade Following New York State guidelines for gathering and social distancing, committee members decided the best plan for 2020 was a drive-through parade. “The idea of a drive-through electric parade quickly came to mind,” the press release read. “Instead of having a parade drive past the spectators, let the spectators drive past the displays.” The committee members thought of local places that could accommodate a large number of vehicles and came up with Ward Melville High School. The committee reached out to the Three Village Central School District, and they received enthusiastic support from the school board and Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich. “We can’t express our appreciation enough to the entire Three Village Central School District for their willingness to support this cherished community tradition,” the committee said in the release. For 2020, a grand marshal will not be chosen. Instead, the parade is dedicated to frontline workers and first responders. The drive-through electric parade will be held Sunday, Dec. 13 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Ward Melville High School is located at 380

For more than two decades, the Three Village Electric Parade has lit the way to the holiday season. But in the midst of a pandemic, the Three Village Electric Parade committee had to come up with some new ideas to prevent hundreds from lining up along Setauket’s main thoroughfares. “This year has been unprecedented in so many ways, one cannot start to list them without getting exhausted or discouraged,” a release from the parade committee read. “Many of the community’s favorite annual events have been virtualized, postponed or canceled. For almost 25 years, the parade has been an eagerly anticipated tradition for the Three Village community and surrounding areas. The Three Village Electric Parade committee didn’t want the parade to suffer the same fate as many other local events.” According to the release, the committee took into consideration how the parade could be fun as well as safe for not only spectators, but also the organizations and participants.

Holiday Grief: A TBR Series

School Districts Attempt to Break the Stigma on Mental Health During Pandemic BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM School districts are letting their students know that it’s okay to be in touch with their feelings. During this unprecedented and scary time, district officials across the North Shore said they immediately knew that they needed to buckle down and implement different mental programs to accommodate the changing landscape of education and the COVID-19 pandemic worry. Jennifer Bradshaw, assistant superintendent for instruction and administration with Smithtown Central School District, said they started the school year with training for all staff members in social and emotional learning. “We’ve always privileged student and staff mental health and wellness, so we’re doing what we did in years past, just a lot more of it,” she said. Smithtown has been including ongoing contact among school counselors, social workers, psychologists, administrators, teachers and other staff members to evaluate student and family needs for food, technology, mental health, counseling, and academic support. Farther east in Rocky Point, Toni Mangogna, a social worker at Rocky Point High School, said they have been seeing an increase in student anxiety surrounding the pandemic. “Coming back to school is so different,” she said. “We’re trying to get our services out to as many students and families as we can.” As part of their SEL programs, the district offers a virtual classroom that students can access at home or while in school to request an appointment with a school counselor or psychologist. “It’s a great option for kids who are working from home,” she said. “I think students miss that one-on-one connection.” The virtual office also offers breathing exercises and tips for practicing mindfulness. Mangogna said she sees students sharing the services with their family and friends. “These students are really in touch with their feelings,” she said. “If we can make that connection with parents and students, I think we’re really making a difference.” The Rocky Point social worker added

that while the kids are stressed, parents are seeking help, too. “Parents have anxiety,” she said. “It’s difficult for parents to be that support for students when they’re having their own struggles and anxiety.” Her colleagues have been working to help and refer parents to local psychologists. “Because we don’t have that face-to-face opportunity anymore, it increases wanting to talk to social workers,” she said. “Just to have somebody in front of them that can validate that feeling. I think students miss that one-on-one connection.” Dr. Robert Neidig, principal at Port Jefferson Middle School, said they are implementing different programs specific to his and the high school’s students. “At the middle school, we have a wellness and mental health curriculum with different types of activities students can do,” he said. Neidig said they’ve had the program for a while, but during the COVID crisis, they “suped it up and since implemented character education lessons.” Since September, they hired a full-time psychologist for the middle school and the high school. “During this time, it’s taken on new meaning,” he said. “Stress levels, anxiousness — we’re all feeling the effects of it. We’re trying to do the very best we can.” He added that every teach is going above and beyond to make sure their students are doing alright. “It doesn’t matter if you walk into a health class, an English class or math class,” he said. “Teachers are taking the time to check in students they understand if kids aren’t there mentally, the learning will be lost.” Three Village Central School District’s executive director of Student and Community Services Erin Connolly said they also implemented a virtual program to continue and promote SEL. “Our district really values mental health,” she said. “We have been working on return to school protocol and mental health plan for students and family for pre-k through grade 12.” Their three-tier plan has a strong emphasis on supporting the district’s staff. “By supporting them, we’re supporting the students,” she added. “It’s a dynamic plan.” Dr. Alison Herrschaft, a social worker at Three Village, said that early on in the school

With the approaching emotions of the holidays, Suffolk County residents may face persistent and unwanted changes in their lives, from not seeing a cherished family member to remaining confined to the same house where they work, live, eat and study. Between now and the end of the year, TBR News Media will feature stories about the impact of the ongoing pandemic on mental health. The articles will explore how to recognize signs of mental health strain and will provide advice to help get through these difficult times. This week, the article focuses on youth.

year, counselors and social work staff met with each and every student in the school. “By doing that, it gave those kids the opportunity to put a face to the staff who can help,” she said. “They’re more likely to seek out help if they’re really struggling and acknowledge that it’s okay to not be okay.” By integrating themselves more into the hallways and classrooms, Herrschaft said the kids who might not have been aware of the staff before, now see these staff as “rock stars.” “We wanted to normalize asking for help,” she said. “It’s accessible to anyone who needs it.” Although Three Village buckled down during the pandemic to make mental health more available, they Smithtown fifth-graders visited with residents at St. James Nursing won’t stop their program even if a Home on Oct. 30 to bring them some Halloween cheer.

BEN’S GARDEN Continued from A4

The business owner developed an interest in art and business when he was young. He founded Ben’s Garden when he was 9 years old and received orders from his catalog from the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx and Smith & Hawken when he was 11. Gloria Rocchio, WMHO president, is looking forward to the opening of Ben’s Garden. “I’m very excited” about the new store, she said. Busko is “very creative. He’s an amazing man.” Rocchio said other businesses expressed an interest in the same retail space in the village center. She described the new store as the right fit for the center. Busko, who started writing a quarterly magazine column for a magazine at the age of 23, has attracted the attention of household style gurus, including Martha Stewart who he taught to découpage. His designs were featured on Oprah’s O List in 2008. Busko looks forward to connecting with the wants and needs of the community of shoppers who enter his marshmallow-scented store.

Owner of Sweet Mama’s Takes Over The Bench, Country Corner BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Marios Patatinis didn’t let COVID-19 stop him from expanding his businesses. In fact, it worked more in his favor. The owner of Sweet Mama’s Family Restaurant in Northport and at Stony Brook Village Center recently bought The Bench in Stony Brook and the Country Corner in East Setauket. “Nobody expected this,” he said of The Bench. “Coming into it, my motion was to buy this and just let it run normally. COVID I guess helped in the sense that we had to adapt quickly over the March to June period.” Patatinis, who was born and raised in Cyprus, began his restaurant entrepreneurship in 2016 after working in maritime business and eventually telecom. He decided he no longer wanted to work for other people and be in control of his own career. That’s when he found Sweet Mama’s in Northport and took over the restaurant. Two years later he opened the brand’s second location in Stony Brook village. Now, in 2020, he has added two more North Shore spots to his growing list of endeavors: The Bench in Stony Brook, by the railroad station, and Country Corner in East Setauket. Patatinis wanted to give both bars a facelift, clean them up and make them more upscale with specialty menu items and intriguing cocktails. “They’re really complementing each other,” he said. Sweet Mama’s is known for its breakfast,

protect local waterways. Siderakis did not respond to request for comment by deadline. For state Assembly, there are some tight races. Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), a 28-year incumbent, is behind his Republican opponent Michael Ross by close to five points in Assembly District 4 at 47%-52%. There are well over 15,000 absentee ballots to be counted, as of Nov. 4. Englebright said he is not too concerned at the current polling numbers, as because of the pandemic and so many people voting differently, “I think we’ll be OK … a very substantial number of people who voted absentee ballot — a majority are my vote.” Ross said he remains cautiously optimistic. “I think that across the board on the Island, the middle class spoke loudly for the Democrats to hear that they’re tired of the Albany agenda, and they’re tired of being ignored and their voices not being heard,” he said.

Patatinis said the community has been welcoming to The Bench’s new setup. Now, he’s looking forward to bringing a change to the Country Corner. Located on the corner of Route 25A and Gnarled Hollow Road, the bar was known as a local pub. Patatinis said he’s planning the same upgrades he did to his former restaurants. Clean it up and add some more good food. Since taking over the spot just two weeks ago,

he’s already begun small renovations, with plans for larger ones to the bar early next year. “We want to give it an easy appeal, have people through the door, look at and go, ‘I can hang out here,’” he said. Even though COVID-19 made things feel rushed and were hard sometimes, Patatinis is optimistic. “We have to adapt, and it actually made us more efficient,” he said.

Mattera said he was grateful for all the volunteers who assisted in the campaign. “I’m so excited for my community,” he said. “I’m so excited for our families.” Once in Albany, Mattera, who describes himself as “a middle-of-the-road guy,” said he will work to repeal the bail reform act and ensure funding for law enforcement. Continuing to educate the public about precautions to take during the pandemic and helping businesses to open up fully is also on the forefront of his mind. He added he will continue to work on improving the infrastructure in the district. Mattera worked with elected officials and community leaders on the revitalization of Lake Avenue in St. James. He said it’s important to secure a sewage treatment plant that will allow for growth in the area and at the same time will

brunch and lunch, with Grandpa’s Shed inside the Stony Brook location — a speakeasy bar settled in the back. The Bench is a casual family sports bar, while Country Corner is a traditional pub with newly added, tasty menu items. When the East Setauket resident decided to purchase The Bench, it was a rather long process. Patatinis signed the paperwork in November, with the goal to open in March. COVID-19 crept up on the business owner and his new location the first week it opened. “We took over, then they shut everything down,” he said. Soon enough, the business was able to utilize the takeout dining options to get out its name and the change of ownership. “The Bench was never known for its food,” he said. “So now you see I have a high-end chef, an upscale bar with an upgraded wine list. … We’re getting away from the stigma of the old college sports bar.” During the pandemic, he and his team renovated the interior to make it more family friendly. They built a side room to host intimate luncheons and parties. But it wasn’t always easy. He had to figure out how to adapt his first two locations under new state guidelines, all while planning the other new openings. “I would say the first few months were tight, because what was coming through was actually going on just to cover the bills,” he said. To cope with the pandemic and keep his businesses running smoothly, he restructured his priorities. “And here we are now, six months open,” he said.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never Known To Fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the Son of God, immaculate virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me & show me here in, you are my mother. 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. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. Thank you Holy Spirit and St. Jude. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted. N.G.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

A Bulwark of Neighborly Leaning Too Far To the Left Compassion

Here is the rub, we’re in tense, dangerous times. We all feel it, a sense of unease blowing on the wind from who knows where. We don’t know what will come in the weeks following election day Nov. 3. Absentee voting has been around for years, but the pandemic has caused a new swath of residents looking to vote remote. In New York state, boards of elections will not even begin to count absentee ballots until Nov. 6, and that process could take weeks to finish, especially if this year’s Democratic primary is anything to go by. Some experts have said we could not see the final results until December. Due to this, sites like FiveThirtyEight, which often analyses election polling, said New York may initially skew Republican and then edge Democratic as more absentee ballots are counted. Effectively, as we look at the preliminary results in the days after Tuesday, we have to remember that nothing is set in stone, especially this year. It’s only fair that every person who voted in this year’s election is counted, no matter which way they may have voted. Anything else would be undemocratic, and nobody can judge another for deciding to stay home and cast a ballot by mail, especially if they or a person in their family is in the high-risk category for getting COVID-19. Despite this, President Donald Trump (R) has continually called absentee votes into question, despite the likely fact that many of the people voting for him have cast absentee ballots, and that he himself has voted by mail, specifically by giving it to a third-party individual to return. He has even suggested legal action to mandate only the votes counted by Election Day are applied. We’ve been trained to want our results election night, but no state has ever fully counted every ballot on the first Tuesday in November. Some states, like North Carolina, are counting absentee ballots that arrive as late as Nov. 12. And lacking any bombshell reports of vote mismanagement, we have to trust the system. New York’s process double checks each absentee ballot to make sure the person also did not vote in person. Voter fraud remains rare, and multiple states use mail-in ballots as the primary way people can vote in local, state and federal elections. And what should we expect in those days after? Are we really going to see violence? Will people really accept the outcome of this year’s election? That’s the real question, and as we write this editorial for an issue that comes out two days after the initial results, we cannot say what’s on the horizon. We urge everyone to stay safe and stay sane. We’re all looking for someone to take the lead in asking for calm, but it seems we should be looking to those in education for a guiding light. Stony Brook University’s new President Maurie McInnis wrote: “While we wait for the results, we are bound to be anxious and tense. Practice patience, extend courtesy and be considerate. When results do come, given the variety of political affiliations that are part of our strength as a diverse community, some are bound to feel elation while others will be disappointed and distressed. I encourage you to reach for empathy. Reach for critical understanding. Reach for the profound combination of caring and intelligence.” We know tensions will be high, we know the national news will be covering unrest in different parts of the country, but we want to believe our communities have the right mindset to move forward, and that we can stifle the most radical voices with a bulwark of civic mindedness and a sense of neighborly compassion.

Leaning too far to the left will, obviously, cause you, and our country to fall over. Over to a socialist platform, the likes of which has never been experienced in this “great country” before. In the words of Winston Churchill: “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.” I am referring to, in part, a prolific writer to this newspaper who touts her “progressive” agenda. Progressive denotes progress and, reading those letters, and those of some other writers, it is blatantly apparent that there is nothing relating to “progress” in their views. What are they progressing toward? It is obvious that the progressive agenda has been to remove President Donald J. Trump [R] by any illegal means possible — check the latest declassified documents — regarding collusion delusions. Of course, they also constantly vilify Congressman Lee Zeldin [R-NY1], because he supports our president. Is “progress” believing the mostly biased lamestream media, and acting based on their false narratives? Proof positive that a leftist-leaning media is more dangerous to our country than a

virus: After the vice presidential debate, all that I saw from the extreme leftwingers — so-called progressives — on social media forums were remarks and photos of a fly on Vice President Mike Pence’s head. When you’ve lost the debate and the best you can do to save face is try to switch the subject to an irrelevant fly, that says a lot. The debate content was what was important and on that Kamala Harris (D) lost completely. “Just answer the question, Senator Harris,” and stop deflecting and lying to the American people. In my sometimes-not-so-humble opinion, and my opinions are based on well-researched facts, not delusions: The current “socialist” (former Democratic) party, on a national level, and by no means on a local one, is not my great-grandfather’s party anymore. It is the Democratic Party in name only. Do the attitudes implied, and the positions taken, by this current “party” align with this writing? “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the

process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” — George Orwell, “1984” (the novel, published 1949). Strange, but it certainly seems like fiction is becoming reality. This is why we have to preserve, and learn about our history, good or bad. Those who condone the taking down of statues are a large part of the problems we face today. And by not condemning it outright, the majority of elected officials in the aforementioned party are condoning it. Cancel culture is more pervasive now than ever and, as we hopefully all know, people uneducated in our history will vote blindly for representatives who, because of their ignorance, can unknowingly repeat its mistakes. Continued ignorance will only exacerbate the problem. Don’t fall over for fictitious (socialist) promises. The reality is that promises made were promises kept, and not by a lifetime do-nothing politician. Art Billadello East Setauket

The Sky’s the Limit, Food for Thought It has, over the last eight months of my life, allowed me to experience thoughts and feelings that I never experienced before. So, in words of the musician BobDylan, “The times they are a changin’.” My reaction to these changing times has resulted in a dramatic change in my lifestyle. This lockdown, which I have chosen to adhere to faithfully, is dramatically different from my usual lifestyle. Ithas been challenging and not easy. That being said, I want to share some thoughts that others may find helpful. Firstly, the word “behavior,” defines or refers to actions usually measured by commonly accepted standards, is

the way in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially toward others — and yes “behavior does matter”. It is important to stay focused and aware of how our behavior affects others. Secondly, the word “character,” is defined as having features and traits that form the individual nature of an individual. Good character, in general, exemplifies people who have traits like integrity, honesty, courage, loyalty, and fortitude. It defines who we are as people, which in turn influences the choices we make in our lives. So, as we navigate through these interesting, challenging times, I suggest that we focus enthusiastically on these two words, and be aware that

they are powerful words which require constant development by us in this ever changing world we live in. Each of us are an important part of this ongoing development to chose a lifestyle that is healthy for ourselves and in turn healthy for others — to allow humanitarianism, a belief in the value of human life and to lead to humane and benevolent practices and treatment toward others. This will not only allow us to become better humans, but will endow us with the means to provide assistance to others in order to improve the human condition moving forward.

Opinion Living In a Pandemic-Triggered Time Warp

I

’d like to add time to the list of things that have changed during 2020. In addition to our notion of personal space, our concept of public health and our ability to empathize with friends, neighbors and strangers around the world battling against the virus, some of us have a warped sense of time. My brother calls it a “Groundhog Day” existence, the Bill Murray movie in which each day seems to be a carbon D. None copy of the one before, as time stands of the above still for him while BY DANIEL DUNAIEF everyone else thinks that one day is a unique part of a continuum.

These days, with so many people working from home and our ventures away from the house fairly limited, our daily existence, even in various phases of reopening, don’t change much, either by month or by season. Indeed, for many of us, the weekends just mean two more working days from home until Monday. Now, we might not all be working as hard on Saturday or Sunday, but we are wellequipped to get that one additional project done before the week begins. In addition to forgetting the day of the week, some of us have also developed a less clear connection to the usual merry-goround elements of each year. Birthdays don’t involve the customary travel, we haven’t attended the same seasonal musical concert at school, and we don’t have the annual family traditions or gatherings. That has meant both an acceleration and a slowdown in the movement of time. I am both stunned and not surprised that it is early November already.

To illustrate my point, I recently reached out to a scientist with whom I chat periodically. Not wanting to go to the same well too frequently, I try to separate my emails and calls by a few months. Before I wrote to him, I guessed my last contact was about two weeks earlier. In reality, it had been two months since we spoke. The mismatch between my memory of the interaction and the reality of the time that passed likely came from a host of factors, including the fact that I enjoy his insights, his sense of humor and the information he shares. Additionally, however, the time warp is a product of the amount of running in place I do on a regular basis, whether that’s chasing down stories or providing updates on the ongoing twists and turns in our coverage of the pandemic. Without much variability, each day achieves its own familiar rhythm, even if the days and weeks blend together.

For me, this week, with the election, arrived both quickly and not soon enough. It’s a relief that the attack ads, the cross talk and the vitriol connected with the election will end, even if the parties lining up on both sides of the fence line continue to shout into the wind about each other. In addition to “Groundhog Day,” I have also pondered the Tom Hanks movie “Cast Away.” When Hanks’ Chuck Noland — wait, I finally get it, Noland, as in “no land” because he’s cast away from his previous life — finally escapes and returns to civilization, I thought we missed out on the incredible opportunity to see Hanks adjust to speaking to people after four years with only a volleyball for companionship. Once our lives return to some level of normal, I imagine we will all make numerous adjustments, including to the annual journey through years filled with more varied activities and in-person connections with people who live further away.

No President-Elect Yet. What Do We Do Next?

H

owever devoutly to be wished, the election results concerning the next President of the United States of America are not yet known. Nor will they be for a good while, it would seem, as the avalanche of mailed ballots needs to be counted and recounted for accuracy. The suspense and anxiety remain. What can any one of us do? For starters, we do the obvious. We wait. As adults, we know Between we don’t always you and me get what we want BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF when we want it, and that goes for the political world as well. This year, 2020, will be known as the year we all waited. We are waiting for a vaccine

to save us from COVID-19 too. But while we are waiting, there is a lot we can do. First, we can calm ourselves down. It does no good to hurl accusations and invectives at each other for believing differently. We are, for better or worse, all Americans, and we will be moving forward from here. As to how we can calm down, I suggest (and it may seem ironic) that we watch and listen to less news. One or two good and brief news reports a day should do nicely. My own preference is CBS News at the top of the hour on my clock radio first thing in the morning and PBS News Hour or the BBC in the early evening. I stress “early” because I don’t want the news to be the last thing I hear before going to bed. As for the rest of the day, besides the daily efforts to keep life going — from brushing one’s teeth to doing our best job at work and at home — we can use our energies productively instead of shouting into a void. We can make a big difference on a local level economically and socially. We can donate food, and perhaps even time, if done safely, to local soup kitchens and food banks.

We can also donate unused clothing and even furniture through the offices of local houses of worship. We can spend a little time on the phone, calling those we love who live elsewhere in this large country, and those who live nearby but are elderly and don’t get out much, to keep relationships vibrant and perhaps share a laugh or two. Sometimes people just need to talk with someone who will listen in order to feel better. It is a merciful thing just to be willing to actively listen. We can shop locally, especially at this holiday time when store owners depend on revenue gained during the last quarter of the year to keep them in business. By and large, those store owners and their employees are also local residents and the first ones to underwrite educational and sporting events for our children and funds for community betterment. If we don’t want to go indoors because of the risk of contagion, we can call in to the store or restaurant and the merchandise or orders will be brought to the curb. Or we can call and ask what precautions are being taken to ensure safety

within a store: masks, social distancing, hand sanitizing and so forth to help us decide if we feel safe there. Together we form a tight community and look out for each other. These are all pretty obvious, but we need to be reminded, especially when there is so much noise abroad. And I will further share with you my personal ways to escape the tumult of our times. Thanks to the marvels of technology, I think of my children and grandchildren as being in the computer room, in a way, where we Zoom with each other regularly. And I regard my smart TV as a temporary replacement for the plays, musical performances and other cultural events that have of necessity been put on hold. Netflix and other services allow talented actors to hang out in my family room, available with their performances at the mere flick of a switch. At the moment, I’m watching “Outlander,” a love story couched in time travel. Being transported to a different time can remind us that people have had their challenges whenever they have lived, and by and large survived them.
