Election night ends in disappointment for many Dems Election night, Nov. 2, found many Democratic candidates gathering at the IBEW Local 25 union hall in Hauppauge, while Republicans attended a get together at Stereo Garden in Patchogue. The Hauppauge event was a more somber one as some Democrats in the county lost their seats, while other races were close ones. Rich Schaffer, who heads up the Suffolk County Democratic Committee, said Tuesday night’s results spoke more about what was happening on the national level than about the candidates. “This was just, as you see, a big wave that took out some really good elected officials, and if you were a challenger, you had even a steeper row to hoe as opposed to an easy time, like we’ve normally been able to do,” he said. While candidates and supporters eagerly awaited the results of in-person votes, the final tallies may not be known in some races for a few weeks due to the Suffolk County Board of Elections still needing to count absentee ballots. Results are as of the morning of Nov. 3. Suffolk County district attorney The race between county District Attorney Tim Sini (D) and prosecutor Ray Tierney, who ran on the Republican and Conservative lines, was a contentious one. At the forefront, Tierney questioned whether Sini has been as tough on crime as the DA himself has said, especially regarding the MS-13 gang. At the end of the night, Tierney emerged the winner with 154,569 votes (57.34%). Sini

garnered 114,943 (42.64%). Sini was first elected to the position in 2017. “I am proud and humbled to stand before you here today,” Tierney said during his victory speech. “Despite being running against an incumbent, despite not having a lot of money in the beginning, despite not having the support of a lot of institutions — not for one day did I feel like an underdog, because of you guys.” Tierney added his goal is to “fight every day to keep the citizens of Suffolk County safe.” “I will reach out into the community to develop relationships so we can all have faith in our district attorney’s office,” he said. Suffolk County sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D) has been county sheriff since 2017 and was seeking his second term this election season. His opponent, William Amato, who ran on the Republican ticket, was not actively campaigning. Toulon, who has been county sheriff since 2017, was declared winner with 141,931 votes (54.30%). Amato came close with 119,357 (45.67%). Toulon Tuesday night was overwhelmed as he thanked those in attendance at the union hall. “I do want to thank all of you for your constant support, not just your support now, but over the last four years of talking to me and encouraging me during some difficult circumstances in taking over the sheriff’s office, and I hope to do a better job over the next four years than I did over the last four years,” Toulon said.

Local doctors welcome imminent COVID-19 vaccination for younger children ‘We definitely saw more cases [of COVID-19] in children after school started this year.’

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Local health care providers were eager to start administering doses of COVID-19 vaccines to children who are 5 to 11 years old, which they can now do after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the shots for children late Tuesday night. “We definitely saw more cases [of COVID-19] in children after school started this year,” said Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of —Dr. Sharon Nachman the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. “We’d like to prevent that.” Health care providers would also like reduction in the current restrictions designed to stop household transmission, in which to protect the health of students and their a member of a home spreads the virus to educators. everyone else with whom that person lives. “It’s too soon to say the next steps,” “Children usually get milder forms of Nachman said, which could include learning COVID, but they can transmit disease to without masks.

Continued from A3 District with 8,748 votes (71.52%). Caracappa took on the role during a special election in 2020 following the death of Legislator Tom Muratore (R-Ronkonkoma). The incumbent’s opponent, Dawn Sharrock, on the Democratic ticket, had a total of 3,476 votes (28.42%). “I’m looking forward to making real changes,” Caracappa said. “All the families here work hard and they deserve this victory — not just for the Republicans, this is for everybody. It’s a victory for Suffolk County — it’s a victory for the hardworking middle class.” Sharrock said Tuesday night she sees herself running for office again. “I honestly feel like I’ve learned so much,” she said. “I’ve grown so much. I’ve learned even just so much about myself. It’s been an experience that I’m so glad I was able to have. I’ve been surrounded by so many wonderful people, so many people who have supported me, never doubting my ability. It’s inspiring, and it’s uplifting. I have two daughters, a 16-year-old and a 14-year-old, and they’re so inspired by my journey and that means so much.” Caracappa said he hopes that Sharrock continues to serve her community. “It’s not easy to do that,” he said. “I respect anybody who wants to make positive change.”

The race in the county’s 5th District, which includes the Three Village Area and Port Jefferson, is a tight one. County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) was in the lead with 7,582 votes (50.25%). Salvatore Isabella, who ran on the Republican ticket and did not actively campaign, had 7,508 votes (49.75%). The night was a nail-biter for Hahn, who is up for her sixth term. “I am cautiously optimistic that once all the votes are counted, voters will return me to office and I’ll be honored to continue to serve my community,” Hahn said in a statement Wednesday morning. “I look forward to continuing my work to protect our Long Island way of life and make a difference for our working families.” County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) was seeking her sixth term in office. The incumbent trailed with 7,141 votes (42.10%). Town of Brookhaven employee Brendan Sweeney won the race with 8,329 votes (49.11%). The newcomer ran on the Republican ticket. Conservative candidate Anthony DeSimone garnered 1,488 votes (8.77%). Sweeney declared victory during Tuesday night’s event. “It feels so good,” he said. “The voters spoke. They want change for this county and now with me and the rest of the newly elected legislators, we can do what’s best for the people.” Anker said she was hoping to continue as she

has many projects she would like to complete. “I’ll continue to do something to stay in the area of helping people, that’s my goal, my priority, and I appreciate all those people that came out to vote,” she said. “But this was, I think, a national tsunami.” The legislator added her 6th District is a Republican area, and it has always been an

uphill battle for her. “I’m just very fortunate to have served as long as I have, over 10 years, and do all the projects and initiatives that I have,” she said. In the 12th District which includes parts of the Town of Smithtown, Lake Grove, Lake Ronkonkoma and Centereach, county Continued on A7

Election 2021 Elections

It’s such a wonderful day,

Continued from A6 Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) won her fourth term in office with 12,629 votes (74.57%). Her opponent Mike Siderakis, who ran unsuccessfully for state senator against Mario Mattera (R-St. James) last year, stopped actively campaigning this summer. Siderakis obtained 4,301 votes (25.40%). Kennedy said during her victory speech at Stereo Garden that the win proves how well the party works together. “We work hard, we have good values and we stand together as a team,” she said. County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) garnered 10,896 votes (53.09%) and won his fifth term in office. Also on the ballot were Democrat Kevin Mulholland, who didn’t actively campaign, and won 4,693 votes (22.87%), and Michael Simonelli on the Conservative ticket, who campaigned but didn’t debate Trotta this election season. Simonelli had 4,932 votes (24.03%). The district includes parts of Smithtown as well as Fort Salonga and portions of Commack and East Northport. Trotta in an email statement said, “I am thrilled and honored that the people of the 13th Legislative District did not pay attention to the outright lies made by the police unions, of which my Conservative opponent was the treasurer, and [the people] voted for me based upon my record of fighting for the taxpayers, working for fiscal stability and helping my constituents.” The 18th District, which sits in the Town of Huntington, included candidates Mark Cuthbertson (D), currently serving as Huntington Town councilman, and Stephanie Bontempi, a

newcomer to the political field. The two decided to vie for the seat after county Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) decided not to run this year. He is currently facing charges for allegedly trading oxycodone for sex. Bontempi emerged the winner with 11,419 votes (53.89%), while Cuthbertson 9,765 votes (46.08%). “Today is a new day for Suffolk County,” she said. “With this victory, we readily flipped the balance of power in the Legislature. We changed the list of priorities. Our neighbors and the community have chosen accountability, transparency and integrity. They’ve chosen a peer over an insider. I cannot wait to get started in working with my new colleagues.” Cuthbertson said he never says never, but he doesn’t see himself going back to town politics currently. He said he was glad he ran for county legislator. “We laid it all out there, and I’m at peace with how much we did,” he said. Town of Brookhaven Incumbent Donna Lent (R) faced Ira Costell (D) running for town clerk of the Town of Brookhaven. Lent, who is serving her second term as town clerk, has managed day-to-day operations such as issuing death certificates and handicap parking permits, while land-use applications are filed within the office. Costell has taken leadership roles in environmental causes such as the Suffolk County Watershed Protection Advisory Committee and served as chair of the county’s Pine Barrens Review Commission. He has been passionate about the fight against opioid addiction and prescription drug abuse. Lent won her seat with 54,318 votes (67.91%), while Costell had 25,642 (32.06%).

They came out a short while ago to work on our dehumidifying system for us. They could have just sold us a new system, but they checked to see if any of the parts were still under warranty first. Luckily for us, they were! So they got the new parts in and repaired the system for us! That was very honest of them. They have been a good company to work with over the years and we highly recommend them to everyone! They are friendly and professional people and they are good about explaining everything to us! - H.F., Greenport, September 2021

Editorial

Letters to the Editor The planet’s turning point

Rich Schaffer, head of the Suffolk County Democratic Committee, congratulates Errol Toulon Jr. on his win. Photo by Rita J. Egan

Congrats and concerns

Tuesday was a busy night where candidates across Long Island came together to wait for the 2021 election results. TBR News Media spent the last month interviewing local officials and their opponents on the ballots, listening and reporting on what they can bring to the table if reelected or elected. We congratulate the winners of this year’s races, and we are looking forward to working alongside them. But there is one thing that concerned us as our reporters waited to hear the announcements of both parties late Tuesday night. Several candidates did not actively campaign this time around, including for example William Amato who ran on the Republican ticket against Errol Toulon Jr. (D) for his seat as the Suffolk County sheriff. Toulon, who has been county sheriff since 2017, was declared winner with 141,931 votes (54.30%). Amato somehow came close with 119,357 (45.67%). Interesting for someone who never showed his face at any debate or public outing. It seems as though voters just went down the row for whatever party they chose. Did anyone take the time out to research which candidate would actually be there for their constituents? We know that this speaks more of what’s going on in the nation than about the candidates themselves. We understand the political divide and we don’t blame anyone for their beliefs. But it’s disappointing to think that someone who had no intention of actively being there throughout the campaign could have won such an important position. Would Amato have been ready to serve if he had won those extra few thousand votes? We encourage voters to do their part — submitting a ballot is just part of it. Read your local news, listen to debates and educate yourselves on what is going on in your community. Instead of voting for someone who may not actually be qualified, it’s important to understand who’s behind the name and what they can bring to the table. Remember, if you don’t like your choices in a race, you don’t have to vote for anyone in that column on your ballot. Send a message to local political committees that asks for strong candidates who are ready to serve, instead of rubber stamping someone who just happens to belong to the same party as you. Elected officials have difficult work to do, and if someone isn’t showing up when it comes time to campaign, that’s not a good sign.

The arc of our human story has reached a turning point. Conflict/complication has risen to a place in time where we have to make a decision. How do we — as a species — feed, clothe, house, educate and supply a path to joy for every person on the planet? By working together collectively — not as cities, states, nations, religions, races or ethnicities. By using the governmental tools we have of democracy, communism, socialism, oligarchy, aristocracy, monarchy, theocracy, colonialism, totalitarianism or military dictatorship. Or do we design a new one for the future? If this were fiction, this point in the story would be called “The Dark Night of the Soul,” where the hero or heroine has to decide to take some action or not. However, this is not fiction but a real drama playing out daily. We are faced with problems beyond the scope and capabilities of any nation. Allied in an angry world with unhealthy people, we stare into the abyss and stumble toward the turning point. Our decision may very well decide whether we survive or become extinct. Nature will clean up the mess and start over. Perhaps one of our space probes will reach a planet somewhere in 40,000 years or so and become a source of great curiosity. Jerry Reynolds Coram

A thank you to Dr. Schwartz

Dr. Irwin Schwartz, our sons’ longserving pediatrician, is retiring this week after practicing for over 30 years in the Three Village area. I will always recall one incident that attests to Dr. Schwartz’s dedication, care and concern for his patients. Years ago, one of my children was admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. We had talked with Dr. Schwartz throughout the day, and he said he would stop by at 11 that night to check in on our son. At 10:45 I stepped outside my child’s hospital room and looked down the hall expectantly toward the elevators. As I did this, the on-duty nurse walked past, stopped, turned back and asked me, “Who are you looking for?” I replied, “My son’s pediatrician.” She gave me a kind of pitying look and said, “Look, you’re not going to see your child’s pediatrician tonight.” But then she caught herself and asked, “Who’s your pediatrician?” I answered, “Dr. Schwartz.”

Without hesitating, she replied, “He’ll be here,” and turned and walked away. Ten minutes later, Dr. Schwartz came in to check on us all. Thank you, Dr. Schwartz, for that moment and the many more just like it. Best wishes in your well-deserved retirement. With our deepest gratitude and respect, The Seyfert family Stony Brook

A note of thanks

Dear Superintendent Daniel Losquadro, Respecting you and your team’s commitment to maintain the quality of our roads in the Town of Brookhaven, please accept my note of thanks. Your team members, whose names I do not know, but wish to thank, recently repaved Engel Court, Miller Place, and its surroundings. Although I do not live directly on Engel Court, I regularly travel this road to get back and forth to my home. One might wonder what would prompt the writer to take pen to paper over a tiny little road, more of a path, quiet in its demeanor. Despite its unassuming nature, its story needs to be told. Engel enjoys special significance in my family. Since my daughter was a baby (now 23 years old and in graduate school) this road has been warmly referred to as the “Secret Passageway.” I would often incorporate the Secret Passageway into stories I made up nightly or on long drives to keep my daughter entertained. Part of Engel’s magic is it’s somewhat hidden from ordinary view and involves a steep incline with tree branches framing a loosely drawn arch across its way. This passageway, filled with imagination and wonder, could, would, and did, have storied princesses and princes fighting dragons heroically, brave children solving brain twisting mysteries with skill and wit, as well as strange but friendly beasts whose discovery and insight meant their friendship provided another tale to be told. I am grateful that such a road takes me back and forth encouraging the imagination of both parent and child. Philosophically speaking, I also see metaphor interwoven in the way Engel is used by the community.

Because Engel is a narrow road, allowing only one car to pass at a time, neighbors are required to take turns in order to travel this road. I recognize how this activity may sound unassuming and rather simple, but I would instead suggest much more of a social contract is involved. All roads are communal in nature, but this special little road requires its residents to be responsible to some basic, but democratic principles. Because Engel is a single lane, a neighbor must check to see if another is using the road as they approach. If another car is on the road, the approaching neighbor stops allowing the other to pass. Normally waves of thanks are mutually exchanged and these exchanges are repeated as liberty requires throughout the day. Clearly, such a road involves rights and responsibilities. New neighbors, for example, are quick to ask about the rules of the road. A more seasoned citizen is always happy to explain not only because they understand their new neighbor is eager to play their part. Or it could be they or their parents, grandparents, etc. were once new to the neighborhood and still remember someone had to show them the ropes. Either way, and equally important, the individual takes their responsibilities seriously. Of course, such conversations involve concepts of justice, goodness, honesty, and trust to name but a few - with history requiring a bit more accounting ... What I can report is the assemblance of neighbors is quick to fill in a missed point or expand on another because we appreciate the value found in being a member of the community and the work involved. Before closing my note, the word “Engel” is German and means “Angel.” A further attribute of our tiny, but wonderfully important road in the Town of Brookhaven. Lastly, I would be remiss if I did not state that each road in the town is a path to the hopes and dreams of each resident and each path taking us to a place, we call home. Thank you and Godspeed.

Nine years later, NY isn’t ready for another Sandy

ine years ago, Superstorm Sandy came roaring through the area, causing flooding, knocking out power and disrupting work and school. All these years later, New York is not prepared for other significant storms, despite studies suggesting that future, slow moving hurricanes with heavy rain could overwhelm infrastructure in and around Long Island. “While we have dithered, New Orleans, Houston and other U.S. cities have gained D. None federal support for regional protection of the above strategies — which BY DANIEL DUNAIEF will be funded with our tax dollars,” according to an information packet created by the New York New Jersey Storm Surge Working Group. “We can’t waste another decade

pursuing local responses to regional threats.” In a ninth anniversary boat tour designed to address the challenges from a future Sandy or even a Hurricane Ida, the working group, which is chaired by School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences Distinguished Professor at Stony Brook University Malcolm Bowman, outlined four messages. First, the group suggested that coastal flooding presented a significant danger. Storm surge, sea level rise and storm water from extreme rain present an “existential threat” to the area. Second, the group concluded that coastal flooding is a regional challenge that requires a regional solution. These scientists urge the two middle Atlantic states to consider creating a layered defense system, which they argue would be cost effective to protect property and the environment. Third, and perhaps most damaging, the group concludes that the area is as vulnerable now as it was nine years ago in the days before Hurricane Sandy arrived. The group wrote that

“no regional costal resilience plan” is in place to protect over 1,000 miles of the New York and New Jersey metropolitan coastline. Fourth, the changing political climate presents an opportunity to do something. The group highlighted how a new governor of New York, the start of a new term or releected governor in New Jersey, a new mayor of New York City and the restarting of the $20 million New York and New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries Focus Area Feasibility Study, or HATS, presents a “once in a lifetime opportunity to act now to address the existential threat of costal flooding with a regional coastline resilience system that meets our social justice, environmental justice, quality of life and economic development goals.” Bowman urged New York and New Jersey residents to consider the progress other states and countries have made. “Houston is going ahead,” Bowman said, even while New York hasn’t taken any significant steps. Bowman said part of the challenge in creating any change that protects the area comes from

the lack of any enduring focus on a vulnerability that isn’t evident to residents on a daily basis. “People have short memories,” Bowman said. “It’s not on their minds” even if they endured the disruption and devastation from storms like Sandy and Ida. Necessity and the lack of deep pockets in other countries is the mother of invention. “A lot of countries can’t afford” to rebuild the way New York and New Jersey did after Hurricane Sandy,” Bowman said. “They are forced to be more careful.” Bowman said any major project to protect the area needs a hero who can tackle the details, navigate through the politics and execute on viable ideas. The late Daniel Patrick Moynihan had “that kind of charisma,” Bowman said. “We need somebody who everybody sees as the hero. I don’t see that person” at this point. For New York and New Jersey, the longer time passes without any protective measures, “the more the danger will increase,” Bowman cautioned.

Connecting the dots from shots in Dallas, Vietnam and into our arms

lections have ended and the newly elected and reelected officials are going to have to cope with a disturbing fact: people don’t trust government. This change in attitude has been a long time coming. It didn’t just happen suddenly. I know, I have lived through the change. Trust started to fall apart with the Vietnam War. Maybe it even started earlier than that, with the assassination of President Kennedy. I was in my early 20s then, just graduated from college, newly married, in my dream Between you and me job, looking forward to an unbounded BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF future filled with joyful events. The nation was at peace, there was a young and vigorous president talking about making life better with civil rights legislation, women were speaking up for themselves, it was a hopeful time.

Friday afternoon, a sunny day, business lunch in a midtown Manhattan restaurant with a television on over the bar in the distance, a movie playing about a president who had been shot in the head. But wait. Wait! It wasn’t a movie, it was a news broadcast from Dallas interrupting the regular programming, it was our president, everyone standing up, crying, paying their checks, rushing back to their offices, trying to deal with the unthinkable. How could this happen? How could Secret Service let this happen? In our country! A president, the President of the United States, could not be protected! Our bubble of safety was bursting, slowly, excruciatingly. Lee Harvey Oswald shot on television while under arrest. In what could you trust? Who killed Kennedy? All kinds of conspiracy theories, the Warren Commission, an end but never a certainty. Was the government lying to us? Was there a cover-up? Next came the Vietnam War. First only “advisors,” then military, then body counts, always more Viet Cong than Americans lay on the battlefields. Promises of progress and victory by the government, as casualties and

numbers drafted rose. This even as Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara privately expressed doubts of victory as early as 1966. But President Johnson was afraid of losing the 1968 election should the United States withdraw. Instead we lost thousands of young men, all of which eventually was revealed to the public. Protests were the order of the day, and more violence, including the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert Kennedy and the chaos at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. What’s happening to the nation’s authority figures? We rolled right into Watergate and Nixon’s resignation. Our President accused of being a liar and a crook. What’s left to believe in? President Jimmy Carter held hostage by the Iranians, the Iran-Contra deception of Ronald Reagan’s second term, Bill Clinton making Monica Lewinsky a household name around the globe. Then the Weapons of Mass Destruction lies by the senior administration officials manipulating us into the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Whom to believe? Whom to trust? Each lie, each governmental deception blew away more trust, leading to the climax: the disbelief in the COVID-19 vaccine.

Even when ex-President Donald Trump urged his audience to get vaccinated on Aug. 21, in Cullman, Alabama, one of the areas struggling to cope with COVID cases and hospitalization, he was booed. “But I recommend take the vaccines,” Trump said. “I did it. It’s good. Take the vaccines.” After that experience, he hasn’t again mentioned vaccination at a rally. But the reaction wasn’t partisan. They were, like Trump, all Republicans who had come to hear him, It was symptomatic of the larger distrust in government. I was in my early teens when I received the polio vaccination. Polio was a dreaded disease by parents the world over, more so as I remember, than COVID-19. Like today, we were discouraged from assembling in groups or joining crowds. The virus attacks the brain and spinal cord, leaving paralysis and even causing death. When Jonas Salk and his colleagues created the vaccine, we all lined up to take the shot. It was the Eisenhower years. We believed our president. Those vaccines have eliminated polio from most of the world. That’s what approved vaccinations can do.
