Community News Smithtown West Football

Starting in early April, the Smithtown High School West football team decided to take action and partner with its neighboring football teams to support frontline workers in hospitals. The Football Feeds Front Liners program was designed to do just that, while also supporting local restaurants which may be struggling during this time. In response to the COVID-19 crisis and the effect it is having on communities, the football team partnered with Sojak Events, a local production company, to organize the movement. The program brings meals to those who are putting their own lives on the line each day to help local families stay healthy and protected. “We kicked this off by donating 40 meals to St. Catherine of Siena Hospital in Smithtown on April 8, and we are challenging other local Long Island high school football teams and their coaches to give whatever they can,” said Smithtown High School West football coach Ron Muscarella. “We know that this is a difficult time for everyone but if the teams are in a position to give even a small amount, it will help provide a catered meal or snack drop to our local front liners,” he said. “Our goal is two-fold; provide some comfort through food for those who can’t stay home, while

using local restaurants who are also struggling economically. We are looking for the next teams to provide for Mather and Saint Charles hospitals and will continue to provide comfort and hope with each donation to various hospitals on Long Island for those on the front lines.” So far, the program has provided more than 200 meals, most recently delivering 50 meals to Long Island Community Hospital with food from Rudi’s Bar and Grill. Teams can choose one of two options to donate. For $100, they can feed 10 front liners (a small hospital unit) breakfast or lunch or for a $150 donation, they can feed 25 people (a large unit) breakfast or lunch. Many of the donations are coming from money already raised by the football teams, through booster clubs and prior fundraising events. The goal is to challenge another team to do the same, using different social media platforms. “Football has always been a sport that gathers fans in large cheering crowds, excited to see their favorite players and teams,” Muscarella said. “As sports teams across the country are on pause from playing the games they love, what better way to show our sportsmanship and passion for the game than giving back to the ‘teams’ that need it most right now.”

A Special Day

Recently, family, friends and volunteers from the St. James Fire Department formed a parade to drive by the St. James home of Howard Laderwager to help him celebrate his 95th birthday during the coronavirus crisis. Participants honked their horns and waved to him, and Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) delivered a proclamation acknowledging Laderwager’s service to his country and recognizing his other accomplishments during his lifetime. The veteran was born May 1, 1925, in Queens. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy May 5, 1945, where he was a pharmacist’s mate, and assigned to the U.S. Haven hospital ship. It was the first ship to enter Nagasaki Harbor after the atomic bomb exploded in that city. They were there to rescue American and allied prisoners of war, who were in serious condition, and many who suffered horrible side effects from

the bombing. He was also exposed to radiation. Laderwager married his wife, Francis, June 9, 1945, and they raised three daughters, Kathy, Judith and Christine. He worked for EAB, formerly Franklin National Bank, for 35 years and has been an active member of St. Philip and St. James Church, as well as being an avid outdoorsman and skeet shooter. He has played a significant role in the lives of his family and is a source of strength, wisdom and guidance for his four grandchildren, Lauren, Jenna, Daniel and Hannah and great granddaughter, Beatrice. “It was a great honor to be invited to attend the drive-by celebration and to have the opportunity to pay a well-deserved tribute to Howard for his dedication to his country and family,” Trotta said. “I felt it important to show my respect to Howard during this pandemic where he knows first-hand what our heroes on the front lines are going through.”

A Tale of Two Epidemics: Coronavirus Exacerbates Substance Abuse Issues BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM While COVID-19 has become the dominant catastrophe of the moment, other longstanding crises have taken a backseat in the public eye. The opioid crisis, an epidemic that has taken many more lives over a much longer stretch of time, is seeing a new rash of overdoses since the start of the pandemic. Data provided by Suffolk County Police shows overdoses have generally increased from the same months last year to this year. In March, police counted a total of 14 fatal overdoses compared to 27 in 2019. There were 108 nonfatal overdoses compared to 93 last year. In April, the numbers jumped wildly from 15 fatal overdoses in 2019 to 30 in 2020. Nonfatal leaped from 67 to 113. District Attorney Tim Sini’s (D) projections of overdose numbers tell an even more morose tale. With data that includes ODs that weren’t confirmed yet by toxicology reports, seeing a total increase of 19 percent of both fatal and nonfatal overdoses compared to the previous year. Though those numbers include all overdoses, not just related to opioids. While it may be too soon to determine a specific link between the pandemic and the increase of overdoses, drug counselors and rehabs say they have seen the marked connection between isolation, mental illness and drug dependence. As time goes on and the country faces economic turmoil, some worry the situation may not improve for the rest of the year.

Addiction Relief Shifts to Remote Help

Director of Drug and Alcohol Counseling Services at the Smithtown Horizons Counseling and Education Center, Matthew Neebe, said it’s hard to gauge if there has been an increase in drug use since the pandemic as the center is not facilitating toxicology screenings. Yet, he added there is “anecdotal” evidence for the pandemic causing and increase in relapses and drug use. “Two of the biggest risk factors for substance use are social isolation and stress,” he said. “Both are consequences of the stay-at-home orders.” While the center itself is considered essential, they have continued to operate at a reduced level. However, with most staff working from home, all therapy sessions are done via telehealth. They have been conducting some group sessions virtually, though they have reduced the number of sessions from their regular schedule. Anthony Rizzuto is the director of provider relations for Seafield, a drug rehab with inpatient facilities in Westhampton and outpatient facilities in Amityville, Medford, Mineola, Patchogue and Riverhead. He said they too have been hearing of the increase in overdoses and the increased use of alcohol and other drugs as more are quarantined at home. “We know people will turn to drugs or alcohol,

Town

Civic Group Says ‘No’ To Hauppauge Industrial Park Development BY LEAH CHIAPPINO LCHIAPPINO@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A local civic group is protesting a proposal to develop an overlay district that would add apartments to the Long Island Innovation Park at Hauppauge. Nesconset resident James Bouklas, the president of the civic group We Are Smithtown, is leading the efforts a couple of weeks before a public hearing. Bouklas said the group started in 2017, as the Nesconset Civic Association, in order to advocate for residents. “We looked around at what was going on in our hamlet and saw untethered development at all costs,” he said. “We also saw that sidewalks were in disrepair, intersections were treacherous, and people died, and we saw that we had a bunch of new buildings going up, yet there was no restraint. We began to advocate for what we felt was the right path forward for Nesconset.” He added that as the organization grew, the members started to see that things that were happening in other hamlets affected the entire town as he feels they set precedent the town to support similar developments. The group has led protests against subdividing the Gyrodyne development

in St. James, which would make room to build a hotel, medical offices and assisted living homes on the Flowerfield property. They also took a stand against the proposal to build a boutique hotel on the site of the Watermill catering hall in Smithtown. Subsequently, the group changed its name to We are Smithtown in January. Bouklas said the latest proposal to build apartments in the industrial park is poorly timed with COVID-19. “Instead of trying to make sure Smithtown families are fed, food banks are in stock, and residents have the resources that they need, the town is spending time trying to figure out how to get developers to profit for building what we think is going to be Co-op City in Smithtown,” he said, referencing the cooperative housing development in the Bronx. “People moved out from Queens so they can have some space,” he said. “We didn’t sign up for density. If they wanted density, then they would move to Queens.” Town of Smithtown spokesperson Nicole Garguilo said that the group is putting out “a tremendous amount of bad information.” She confirmed that the project is just a proposal and is not in development. “This is a public hearing to create an overlay

district at the park so the Long Island Innovation Park at Hauppauge can evolve and sustain as the economic engine it has been for the state for the next 20 to 30 years,” she said. Garguilo said that if the apartments are built, there would likely not be an increase in traffic during peak times as they are seeking to create a “walkable workforce community,” so residents can walk to jobs in the industrial park. She added the town traffic director believes that the weekend may cause an uptick in traffic, as “young professionals may choose to head to the beach, parks or other fun recreational activities.” However, the town believes it would be “primarily unnoticeable,” as weekends are usually quiet in the park.” Bouklas said that he has doubts that the apartments will be affordable and worries the town will give tax breaks to the developers of the property. “A lot of people are going to make a lot of money,” he said. He said he has additional concerns that the development will overwhelm the school system, the police department and the fire department. Garguilo said apartments would not be targeted to families with school-aged children, but rather millennials looking to start their careers. The town hopes that this would attract high-tech businesses

such as Google, Apple and Facebook, companies college graduates are looking for jobs at. “[Young people] want to enjoy the start of their careers, put together savings for a future home in the town where they were raised,” she said. “In addition to affordable living — that’s not their parents’ basement apartment — they want to find the perfect career.” The proposal came from a 2019 report conducted by James Lima Planning + Development strategists to grow the industrial park. According to the report, the park already accounts for 8.2 percent of Long Island’s gross domestic product and houses more than 55,000 employees of 1,350 companies. Currently, it generates $65 million in property taxes. The report suggested that “a residential component within the peripheral areas of the park would not only provide potential housing for Hauppauge’s workforce but would enable the park to retain vitality and dynamism that could go beyond business hours and into the weekends.” It listed Motor Parkway and the sections of Old Willets Path that lies between Engineer road and Motor Parkway. A public hearing will be held via Zoom May 21 at 2 p.m. Visit www.smithtownny.gov for more information on the public hearing.

PPP Loans Potentially a Cuomo Overstates NY’s Funding Inequalities Poisoned Chalice

Small businesses are the Atlas of the economy. Too often attention is paid to the huge corporations, whose employment numbers are cited for why they need stimulus in times of crisis. However, when money circulates at the ground level, it tracks among the small businesses, our friends, our neighbors. That’s why it’s so disheartening to see a program meant to support those same small businesses first be shuttled through banks who simply weren’t prepared for it, then being abused by large companies it wasn’t made for, and now is seeing constant changes which may make using the loan a kind of poisoned chalice, one that looks appetizing but may just be a death blow to any who drinks from it. The fact the Payment Protection Program was shunted through banks in the first place was a misstep. Many small business owners complained clients of the banks were given preference (and even among those, larger companies were prioritized). Smallersized banks themselves found they had to establish a whole new infrastructure for handling and dealing out these loans. And then, companies with many more employees nationwide than the requisite 500 or under had received such loans because of loopholes in the lending requirements. Approximately 94 loans were made to publicly traded companies, totaling around $365 million. Reuters reported that well over 70 of these companies which received aid had months of emergency cash on hand to get them over the hump. The loans of up to $10 million were designed to tide over small businesses for eight weeks, rehiring staff in the process. A program that started with $349 billion has grown to $669 billion after thousands were left high and dry after the first round of loans. This program that was meant to support small businesses has contorted into a mess of paperwork that has many concerned it will saddle them with debt long term. Some owners find they have no reason to take on their furloughed labor if none of them wish to return to work anyway. With many fearing the economic impact could last much longer than eight weeks, even more are concerned they may have to lay off employees once again just a short time after spending the funds. Some businesses have reported anxiety at using the funds at all, fearing that they will somehow make themselves ineligible for the loan turning into a grant. Many businesses rely on independent contractors, but according to loan rules, none of the money received can be used for contract labor. Politico wrote May 8 that the watchdog agency of the Small Business Administration (the SBA administers the PPP loans) reported the federal agency has strayed away from the original language of the law in creating new restrictions. PPP requires businesses to spend 75 percent of the loan on payroll to get forgiveness and that the balance must be paid back in two years. Both of these bylaws were absent from the original bill. But questions still weigh heavily on the minds of business owners. Everything most people understand about the loans can still change. All this goes to show PPP was unleashed too hastily and clarifications have been much too slow to roll out. Small business owners need specifics and they need guarantees. Guidelines need to be strict enough to avoid scams while keeping in mind the reality of modern day small businesses. U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) has already called for easing restrictions. Our other local federal representatives must hear owners’ concerns, and then relay those fears to the U.S. Treasury Department and SBA. These small businesses need that help, because if we lose them, some of the best parts of our communities go with them.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) continues to blame Washington for all of our problems just like his political ancestors from past decades. His most recent complaint is distribution of trillions in federal COVID-19 funding between the states. He has an insatiable appetite for more and more federal assistance with no concern about increasing the confiscatory level of taxation to generate the revenues along with increasing long term borrowing to pay for this or how the billions of dollars are spent. He believes throwing more taxpayer dollars at problems will solve all of society’s ills. The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan documented how New Yorkers sent more money to Washington than we get back. Many of the 50 states could make the same argument.

This imbalance also holds true in the distribution of state aid from Albany to the 62 counties of our state. Within NYC, residents of Queens, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Bronx and Manhattan (or each of the fifty-nine community planning boards) don’t always get back the same amount of money sent to City

Hall, Albany and Washington. Within any of our 62 counties, you could take this analysis down to every town, village and local census tract. Cuomo should practice what he preaches when distributing billions in state dollars. Larry Penner Great Neck

Badly Misinformed Leading Country into Darkness

It’s unsettling to see the backlash in this country as protestors take to the streets claiming a right to not wear masks or maintain social distance. In a 100-year storm of ignorance, they miss the fact that cloth and paper masks do not offer much protection to the wearer. They protect other people from the wearer. In this crisis, it is our obligation to others to wear a mask and maintain distance. As a baby boomer, I have taken great comfort in the ascendancy of science: space shots, a moon landing and joint replacements for the asking. My father was the first person in New York City to survive diptheria because my grandfather, a new physician with time on his hands, treated him with an experimental drug —

an antitoxin. As a child, my older siblings had sheltered in place at our summer home in Quogue to keep us safe from the polio epidemic. I knew several students in the high school class just ahead of us who were crippled by the disease from which we and everyone who came after us were spared. The advent of the Salk vaccine plus penicillin and pasteurization assured us that we had conquered infection and had only heart disease and cancer left to fight. I have lived my life in a new age of light and science and now bear witness to a world where some people seem determined to reverse all advances and march willingly into darkness led by the badly misinformed.

President Donald Trump (R) has legitimized selfishness and meanness of spirit, but he hasn’t yet taken away courage and self-sacrifice. Upstate and out-of-state health care workers flocked to NYC to help, at great personal risk to themselves, just as NYC firefighters refused orders to stand down on 9/11 and ran into buildings to get people out. The good news is that cops, first responders, health care workers and emergency personnel keep showing up for work. Essential workers still drive the trucks, deliver the mail, dole out necessities for the rest of us. Thank you all, and special thanks to those of you who run toward the fire.

Idiocy of Some Youth During Coronavirus We have young people in Commack protesting the COVID closures, saying they would prefer to have more people die from COVID-19 if it would put money back in their pockets. We have young people on the beaches in Florida saying things such as, “let those old people die so they can’t vote.” With all of the heroes, risking everything

to save so many of us, who do these idiots think they are? No, I am not out of work and, if I were, I would be in a desperate situation. I have, however, been in a situation where medical bills brought me to the edge of losing everything. I fought through it. I didn’t blame those who didn’t have my problems. I took every menial, down in the dirt job that I could find.

Eventually things got better, financially. My sick wife, who I loved, died. Be careful. What may look better isn’t always better. To the young friends of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, all of Bernie’s free give-a-ways were to be paid for by those old folks the Floridian’s wish would die. Francis G. Gibbons Sr. Terryville

Opinion

Unlikely Lawn Signs During Lockdown

love my neighbors. I never knew who most of them were, but I do now. I see them almost every day and they are friendlier than most of the people I’ve ever worked with. Then again, they haven’t been sitting at their desks, waiting for me to file a story, to fix some error, or to explain how I could have ended the previous sentence with a preposition. I don’t just love my neighbors. I D. None love the trees that of the above reﬂect the different BY DANIEL DUNAIEF types of spring lighting that falls on them throughout the day, as I take my exhausted dog for yet another long walk. The singing of the birds? I can’t get enough of it.

In fact, the other day, I heard three birds, all singing their repetitive songs. Meanwhile, a woodpecker was banging his head against a tree, searching for his insect prey while providing a percussion background to the sounds of the other birds chirping. Incidentally, why haven’t clever scientists studied woodpeckers to see how they recover from nonstop concussions? How can they ﬂy straight after all that pounding? So, my neighbors can’t always update me on their lives, because A. they don’t always have time to chat with the guy who walks his big, white dog too many times a day, and B. they want to make sure they stay at least six feet away from me, which isn’t so easy when said big white dog pulls me and him towards them. They do a fantastic job of updating me on their lives with the signs that grace their lawns. I’ve read about birthdays, new babies, graduations, among many other milestones and celebrations limited by our red light,

green light, one-two-three game with a virus that doesn’t seem to have turned away long enough for us to do much moving. Anyway, I was just thinking about the signs my neighbors don’t put on our lawns, but that might reflect their current reality. Here’s a list of a few: — No one told us we’d be entertaining three kids under 5 years old indefinitely. — Yes, I’m working on the lawn again. — Don’t make fun of my makeup. Yours doesn’t exactly look great, either. — Do you want to buy any knives from our cute and enterprising daughter who just finished college finals and needs something to do (okay, we might put that one on our lawn). — I see you staring at my house, while you’re pretending to look at the trees. — I’m celebrating nothing today. How about you? — If you miss sports too, try to hit this sign with a ball and win a lollipop.

— Lord of the Flies might have been fiction. This is real. Don’t, under any circumstances, knock on our door. — This invisible fence isn’t for a dog. Keep off the lawn. — Does anyone know what day it is? — Hopefully, this sign will distract you from the peeling paint on our shutters. — We’ve been binge watching Stranger Things and can’t come to the door right now because we’re in the Upside Down. Please leave a message. — No, wrong house. The neighbor down the street and to the left is the happy one. — We know it sounds weird, but it’s our version of modern music. Finally, I’d like to share an actual, handwritten sign that from a neighbor who had clearly had enough of the rest of us, with our stupid dogs on stupid leashes every day. — No poop zone (I can’t believe I have to say this).

Zoom is a Miracle and a Cross to Bear

ooming has become a verb in the same way xeroxing did many years ago. When a product assumes an important role in daily life, the manufacturer’s name sometimes becomes the name for the process. So it was for many years with photocopying. And now, I don’t know about you, but for those of us who are working remotely even part of the week, participating in calls over the Zoom platform is a Between regular occurrence. you and me Who ever BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF heard of Zoom before sheltering in place began? Well, maybe I did, but only as a possible growth stock to invest in, and running

at $100 a share, it struck me as too expensive to be interesting. When I googled (another such example) the name, it was described as “an American communications technology company headquartered in San Jose, California. It provides videotelephony and online chat services … and is used for teleconferencing, telecommuting, distance education and social relations.” Until I actually went through “joining a meeting,” it had no relevance to my life. Enter the pandemic and sheltering in place, and we all discovered that unlike some other high tech stuff, Zoom was easy to use and helpful for work and play. We now have departmental meetings and community board meetings via Zoom, and I enjoy weekly rendezvouses with my children and grandchildren. For now, seeing everybody is free. Like all technical marvels, however, there are positives and negatives in connection with Zoom. After three Zoom meetings, each for two hours, in one day, I found that I was exhausted and feeling out of sorts. The ﬁrst such day, I just assumed it had little to do with zooming. The next time, with a similar schedule and the same

result, made me realize there was a cause-andeffect taking place, but I didn’t understand why. Then I read, “Why Zoom Is Terrible,” a column in The New York Times by journalist Kate Murphy, that made a lot of sense. Before I share the particulars, I want to rush to say that I don’t think Zoom is terrible. I think it is what it is, like all new inventions that change one’s life: a miracle. However difficult our lives are today, imagine if there were no video conferencing available to us. Even physicians have embraced telemedicine as a substitute for office visits for now, but surely as a way of communicating with remote patients who cannot get to the office in a life-or-death emergency in the future. There are, however, some drawbacks, as Murphy’s article explains, and we should be aware of them. The way the video images are “digitally encoded and decoded, altered and adjusted, patched and synthesized introduces all kinds of artifacts: blocking, freezing, jerkiness and out-of-sync audio. These disruptions, some below our conscious awareness, confound perception and scramble certain social cues. Our brains strain to fill in

the gaps and make sense of the disorder, which makes us feel vaguely disturbed, uneasy and tired without quite knowing why.” This explains a lot to me. Just the audio delay alone tends to make me speak more loudly to the screen than I would normally in an unconscious attempt to get my words to the listeners faster and get their responses back more quickly. After six hours of yelling alone, I can feel pretty tired. And when I look at the others on the grid, in a manner reminiscent of the television show, Hollywood Squares, I am not looking them in the eye. There is no eye contact, and often people are actually looking at themselves — checking out their hair and whether their collar is covering their chicken neck. We are, as the author points out, “exquisitely sensitive to one another’s facial expressions … and [that is] essential to our understanding of one another.” But such subtleties are frozen, smoothed over or delayed on the screen, however hard we might strain to see them, hence our fatigue and even a bit of alienation. So now you know. And by the way, Zoom is now selling at $164.55 a share. I never bought it.
