Suffolk Legislators Pass Bill to Prevent County Parkland Encroachment BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Berland added that many residents encroached on public lands during her time as Town of Huntington councilwoman, where the town took some legal actions. “These actions come at significant cost to taxpayers and can be avoided by ensuring that all involved in construction at these homes are certain that property boundaries are being observed,” the legislator said. “Suffolk County has a record of spearheading initiatives to safeguard the environment, earning us a regional and national reputation for innovation on this front. This resolution serves to further bolster that reputation.”

Hahn said it makes sense for contractors to take extra precautions when building near parkland. “If you’re a contractor, and you’re about to put down a fence, and the property next to you is 100 acres, you have to take a look and say, ‘Oh, what land is that,’” she said, adding it’s simple to determine what’s public parkland looking at online maps. “It’s common sense,” the legislator said. “We don’t want people building and taking advantage of land that we’ve spent a lot of money to preserve for the residents of Suffolk County. We preserve it to prevent

building on it.” Hahn said the legislation will not only prevent intentional and unintentional encroachment but will also protect both the homeowners and contractors. She said the protection of parkland is more important than ever as more residents search for outdoor activities during the pandemic. “I think it’s abundantly clear how important [parklands] are to the health of our communities — our mental health, our physical health, community well-being — and it’s important to protect them in every way we can,” Hahn said.

A resolution passed in the Suffolk County Legislature will place the onus on contractors when a structure encroaches onto county parkland. The resolution, titled A Local Law to Ensure the Protection of County Parkland, passed in the Legislature June 23 and will take effect immediately after it is signed by County Executive Steve Bellone (D). The legislation requires a contractor working on private property that abuts parkland must obtain a copy of the land survey of the private parcel from the homeowner. The legislation also requires that the private property owner must submit a written affirmation that there have been no changes to the property since the survey. An affidavit must be filled out stating the work being performed is within private property and neither encroaches on or physically disturbs the adjacent parkland. It’s required that the affirmation be signed by the contractor and notarized. Fines for violation of the law are $50 for the first offense, $100 for the second and $250 for three or more. The legislation was co-sponsored by county legislators Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), Susan Berland (D-Dix Hills), Samuel Gonzalez (D-Brentwood), Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and Jason Richberg (D-West Babylon) and was first introduced at the beginning of 2020. The legislation was inspired after a case in Smithtown where homeowners built a gazebo partly made of brick that was situated on a small piece of land that is part of Arthur H. Kunz County Park. The owners also had placed a putting green next to the structure. “Suffolk County has long been a leader in protecting open space and parkland,” Berland said in an email. “As Suffolk residents, we all bear the responsibility of being stewards of our environment.”

Though there were significantly less participants and onlookers than the normal Fourth of July event in Port Jeff, a sizable crowd gathered to watch a parade of cars pass by. Photos by David Luces

Car Parade Commemorates Fourth of July in Port Jeff Controversial Parade Runs in Place of Fire Department’s Annual Event BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

A caravan of cars, motorcycles and other vehicles drove down Port Jefferson’s Main Street to celebrate the Fourth of July. The Patriot Day Parade, which was hosted by the Setauket Patriots, a local conservative group based on social media, was put together fairly quickly as organizers were able to obtain the necessary permit and approval from the village within the past week. Despite the local fire department’s decision to cancel its annual parade, the Setauket Patriots group previously stated it wanted the opportunity to do something to mark Independence Day. A representative from the group said the parade would not be a political event. The majority of people who lined the sidewalks waved American flags and wore red, white and blue. Though there were a handful of individuals in red MAGA hats and some

participants who drove past with Trump 2020 and Thin Blue Line flags. James and Flo McAvey, of Port Jefferson, were a part of the crowd and were glad there was an event to commemorate the important American holiday. “The village’s [annual] parade always has a big turnout, but I’m glad there is something going on to show patriotism toward America,” James McAvey said. “I know this was kind of last minute, I don’t think a lot of people knew about this. I think there could have been more spectators if they had more notice.” Barry Issberner, of Port Jefferson, said he thought the decision to not have the usual annual Fourth of July parade was a big mistake. “I understand the concern, but to call off the whole Fourth of July parade because they were worried people weren’t smart enough to protect themselves was wrong,” he said. “I’m glad someone else picked it up and ran with it.” Issberner was seen waving a big American flag throughout the parade, adding that it was important to be at the event. “I wanted to come out and help celebrate the birth of America,” the Port Jeff resident said. “It’s important for the country to pull together. I thought the turnout was pretty good, we had a good amount of cars go by. For something that was last-minute organized, it got a good crowd to come out.”

And There Was Light

Village Chabad, located on Nicolls Road in East Setauket, debuted its new giant menorah monument June 30. The menorah stands 22 feet tall and 17 feet wide and weighs 1,000 pounds. The piece is made of extruded aluminum and anchored in a 12-ton cement foundation base. “This menorah becomes a new landmark on Nicolls Road and a beacon of light in the Three Villages and beyond,” said Rabbi Chaim Grossbaum, of Village Chabad. Yoav Ben-Shimon and Obed Sinn of Deer Park-based Windloch and their team took on the project to completely refurbish and install the menorah in memory of their fathers Moris

NOTICE OF MEETINGS

Ben-Shimon and George Sinn. The menorah was designed and initially built in 1995 by Rabbi Anchelle Perl of Congregation Beth Sholom Chabad Mineola and was gifted to Village Chabad in 2019. The foundation was installed as a gift from Opal Paving in memory of Sheldon Polan, father of Andy Polan who is a Village Chabad member and president emeritus of the Three Village Chamber of Commerce. “It is our prayer that this beautiful menorah will now serve as a source of increased hope and positivity in our community for brighter times ahead,” Grossbaum said.

they will be when the virus comes knocking at their door. TBR: Anecdotally, we’ve heard that some people may be less susceptible to the worst of the viral symptoms, if they have a certain blood type, for example. Do you know if any of that is true? Donelan: I’ve seen tidbits here and there — you can be willy-nilly and not careful. I would caution anyone who picks up these reports to not assess their own individual risk in such a way that would make them less likely to follow the basics of trying to avoid getting sick or transmitting it. TBR: Would a second wave be milder than the first because more people would have some resistance? Donelan: I’m hesitant to declare if we had a milder second wave it’s the virus as opposed to other factors. In the 1918 [Spanish flu] versus the 1919 wave, the 1919 wave was bigger. TBR: How did the protests affect infections? Donelan: The protests are one of many, many instances of people with lacking social distancing, perhaps not wearing masks or wearing masks incorrectly. It’s maybe the most public one, not the only one. Every time I go out, I see people being noncompliant. As I understand from recent data, New York has an R0 [the average number of people who will get a disease from a single infected person] of under 1. We know that there’s going to be a slow creep in the infection. We’re right up against 1. That’s clearly less than the R0 of 2 or more that was early in the pandemic. By the time we see a bump in hospitalizations, a bump in positive cases, the protests are going to be muddled in with the graduations, the beach parties, the bars and the restaurants. TBR: What don’t people know about the disease? Donelan: The biggest misconception about utilization of face coverings, is that the face covering is for me. I think it must be really be emphasized. I wear my face covering to protect you. You wear it to protect me. TBR: What do you think of the risks in youth sports, which are starting up again? Donelan: There’s no uniform understanding of what’s right or wrong. There are other countries that have been ahead of us in terms of the pandemic and then are now easing themselves back into a more normal society. I think that those of us who are interested in what happens in sports, might keep a clear eye on what’s going on in those countries. Any time you interact, it’s not a zero-risk concept.

TBR: What do you think about schools? Donelan: I’m working with the state and the campus and my own local school district on what school will look like. I have two kids that are heading to college, another one heading for a Ph.D. program. I have a particular interest in what’s going on. I think the schools have been working hard to optimize social distancing, with mouth and face coverings to the extent that each student at different levels is able to. I told them a couple of months ago, at the state and local level, I don’t see how schools cannot plan on having a hybrid learning platform [one that includes a mix of in-person and remote classes]. TBR: What advice would you give schools? Donelan: The most important thing is to make sure however school looks like for the next two or three semesters, [that there is] a hybrid learning platform, with the ability to pivot quickly to a full-distance learning plan. TBR: How do you think this will play out for colleges? Donelan: [Many schools will] start in August. Come Thanksgiving, kids will go home and don’t come back [until the next year as influenza-like illness starts to circulate.] Thanksgiving is the first great cross-pollinator event in the winter season, with people traveling, coming back, picking up whatever is going on wherever they traveled to. I wouldn’t want students coming back to school after Thanksgiving recess, then cross-pollinating more. If there’s anything that people should be encouraged to do, it’s get a flu shot — and get it early.

PAGE A18 • THE VILLAGE TIMES HERALD • JULY 09, 2020

Editorial Letters to the Editor Keep Local Journalism Alive Captives of the Teachers Union When The New York Times recently published an editorial titled “Don’t Cancel That Newspaper Subscription,” it caught our attention. Not just because of the subject matter — anything about the general decline of local newspapers is, of course, something we’re very concerned about — but because of the struggles each reporter and editor faces while trying to do their jobs. The beginning of the editorial tells the story of John Seigenthaler, initially a young reporter with The Tennessean who saved the life of a man he was interviewing back in the 1950s. Seigenthaler went on to become editor and then publisher for the local paper and was at the forefront of civil rights coverage in the heart of the segregated South. However, the piece is not a love letter to the local papers of the 20th century; it’s a cry for help for the publications of today. The editorial touches on how newspapers and their newsrooms have become smaller over time, even before the coronavirus pandemic diminished the amount of advertising, the main source of revenue papers rely on. Over the years, local publications have been suffering as more and more readers take to the internet to get their daily or weekly dose of news. It also doesn’t help that the false moniker of “fake news” is thrown around by too many without a care for the consequences such an impetuous statement can create. According to the editorial, newsrooms across the country lost half their journalists between 2008-19. Citing a recent Business Insider article, the writer Margaret Renkl, said “a staggering” 7,800 journalists lost their jobs in 2019. The writer goes on to tell the story of how The Tennessean recently ran an ad that many found appalling and racist, but she urged people not to cancel their subscriptions. She not only cited how the publisher quickly tried to rectify the situation by pulling it from future editions and firing the sales manager that approved it, but she pointed out many other things, too. Despite the extreme lack of judgment in placing the ad, even with a shortage of journalists due to cutbacks over the years, the paper still covers and publishes a variety of topics that show it is still doing everything in its power to maintain a balanced and reputable publication. We get this. There have been times when some may not have been pleased with an article, letter or editorial in our newspapers. That is perfectly fine, and we invite reasoned criticism from all in our letters to the editor. But as Renkl wrote in her editorial, “As the ‘first rough draft of history’ journalism will always be prone to mistakes.” We, perhaps beyond any other industry, not only invite justified review of our papers, but we also actively try to improve, working many, many hours to try to get the story of local happenings. We cannot be everywhere and cover everything, but we do our best. Canceling your subscription to a newspaper only hastens the death of journalism. We’ve written it before on this page, and we’ll put it out there again: If newspapers and journalists didn’t exist, who would tell you what leaders are up to? Who would be there to challenge their responses when something doesn’t sound quite right? And this is even more important with our local leaders, especially as more news networks focus on the national side of our society. Without local papers, where would readers go to find out what fun activities are going on right in their own town? Who would celebrate the academic and athletic achievements of our local students? Unfortunately, the days of local newsrooms brimming over with editors and reporters, who could run out and cover every incident in town, may be over, but pulling out a newspaper from the mailbox or picking one up on the newsstand doesn’t need to end. Let’s work together to keep local journalism alive. With each subscription, just like with each ad, we are empowered to continue and enabled to cover more of our communities’ activities for the benefit of all.

In a July 2 article in The Village Times Herald, William Connors, president of the Three Village Central School District Board of Education, is quoted as saying, “We represent the community on the board of education.” This statement is somewhat misleading, coming as it does from a teachers union-endorsed board member. The Three Village Teachers Association is a labor union. Its members pay union dues in order for the union to extract the best financial and working conditions that it can from the school district. Individual teachers can and do take a deep interest in the education of our students, but the union has no mandate to consider the students’ or taxpayers’ interests.

If the union disappeared tomorrow the teachers would continue to do a professional job teaching the children. The union is not an integral part of the school district — it is a separate entity with its own interests and concerns, which more often than not do not align with those of the students, parents or the taxpayers. For more than 20 years, Mr. Connors has owed his position on the school board to the TVTA. The TVTA has canvassed for his votes and paid for his campaign. He is entirely a captive of the teachers union, a fact he implicitly acknowledges when he fails to think of a single point of disagreement with the union in more than 20 years. Mr. Connors represents union interests on

the school board, not the community’s interests. The school board’s intended, and proper, function is as a vehicle for parental control of the school system, not as a vehicle for union power. It is important that every Three Village resident understands that the teachers union has deliberately corrupted the school board from its original purpose by stacking the board with union puppets. Corruption of the board results in reduced educational opportunities for our students and less focused management of our hard-earned tax dollars. David McKinnon East Setauket Former BOE candidate

Results Should Cause Deep Concerns There is a valuable lesson to be learned from the cataclysmic events that have befallen this nation in the past few months. The declared emergencies have endowed our governors and mayors with extraordinary unilateral powers, which they have exercised to produce results that should cause deep concern for all of us. Here in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has singlehandedly brought about the unnecessary deaths of thousands of elderly coronavirus patients by compelling them to reside and perish in nursing homes that were not equipped to treat them. Across the country, in Seattle, Charleston, Portland and Washington, D.C., among many other cities, packs of anarchists have been allowed to run wild, wantonly destroying property that does not belong to them, while members of the local police forces stand by and watch them, sometimes refusing even to respond to 911 calls from beleaguered citizen taxpayers whose property and lives are being destroyed as they watch helplessly with tears in their eyes.

From the lowlife hoodlums with their cans of spray paint and gasoline and their armloads of bricks and hammers, we should not be surprised. But for the disgraceful politicians who enable this grossly antisocial behavior to get started, watch it build to a flaming crescendo, and take no steps to contain it, there is no excuse. The mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan (D), aided and abetted by Washington’s governor, Jay Inslee (D), has allowed, and even encouraged, local anarchists to occupy an area of six square blocks in the middle of Seattle, first known as CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone), later renamed as CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest). Not surprisingly, before long two men within CHAZ (or CHOP) were shot. When the police arrived, they engaged in negotiations with the occupiers, who graciously permitted the officers to remove the two men, of whom one was badly wounded and the other was dead. Unfortunately, the largesse of the CHOP masters did not extend to allowing the police to investigate, and it appears to

be unlikely that the assailants will be apprehended or even identified. The outrage in Seattle is not unique. All across the country, statues are being spray painted, mutilated, set on fire, toppled, and thrown into rivers, by vandals who do not own them, observed by police who do not deter them. At the very least, these statues have substantial monetary value, and are the property of the municipalities in which they stood. If, by a rational and legal process, such as a referendum, it is decided that the citizens would like to have a statue replaced, this should be done in a civilized manner. Instead, we have many of our elected “leaders,” virtually all of whom are Democrats with a capital “D,” choosing to ignore the oath of office to which they solemnly swore and failing to uphold the laws they are required to enforce. Let us hope that the voters remember which is the party that protects their interest, and which is the party that does not. George Altemose Setauket

ook, we’re out of practice. It’s totally normal. We’ve spent so much time talking to kids who don’t listen, to pets who need a break from us and to computers that seem determined to sabotage our efforts to work from home that we may have lost a step or two in our social graces. Slowly, like hermit crabs emerging from their shells, we are stepping out into the phased world, in which we can do D. None this, but can’t do that of the above and where we are BY DANIEL DUNAIEF seeing more threedimensional people and not those two-dimensional ﬁgures who ﬂash across all manner of electronic devices.

As a quick refresher, I’d like to offer a reminder of the things that should give us pause if we’re about to share them with others who may be a bit sensitive. The following should serve as verbal red flags: Not that I’m looking, but ... if whatever comes next is something you shouldn’t be staring at, such as anatomical areas, private letters or emails, you shouldn’t finish the sentence. Don’t take this the wrong way ... well, if a part of you recognizes that what you’re about to say could be problematic or painful for the listener, consider saying it in a different way or not saying it at all. Obviously ... this can go in one of two directions. A truly obvious statement doesn’t need sharing. A statement you think is obvious but isn’t so clear to the listener becomes a way to offend that person, who may have a reflexive defensive response. I’m no expert, but ... we all often talk about subjects in which we have no expertise. We

might be anywhere from slightly informed to ill informed. We should be able to share what we think we might know, but we may not want to challenge someone who designs buildings on the best way to put together a LEGO house. This is such a minor point that I hesitate to bring it up ... maybe instead of hesitating, you should just not. Correcting the day of the week on a story about an event that occurred over 10 years ago seems unnecessary and distracting. I don’t want to take the wind out of your sails ... you’re probably about to do what you say you’re not doing, so own it and say you disagree completely or let me continue to sail off into my happy sunset. What do I know, but … This expression suggests that you are about to do one of two things. You’re likely preparing to deliver serious criticism, but want to couch it by suggesting that it might not be based on anything other than a disdain for you, your wardrobe choices, your career path, or anything in between. Alternatively,

you’re about to say something that seems supportive — “what do I know, but your idea for submersible homes seems compelling to me” — but that really suggests that you’re hiding behind false humility. If someone follows your advice, the “what do I know” expression is your way of dodging any responsibility for their mistakes. I don’t mean to offend you, but ... this is one of my favorites. It suggests that you know you are about to be offensive and that you don’t mean it, but you just can’t help it. You’re about to share something that may dress up as helpful, like a Trojan horse, perhaps, but that will likely cause damage. Holding our tongues can be incredibly difﬁcult, especially when we’d like to tell the person in front of us how we want to make a minor, but likely obvious point that we hope doesn’t take the wind out of their sails or offend them. We also don’t know what we’re talking about because we’re not experts. Still, it was sort of good to see them.

The Economic Rollercoaster Ride Continues

hose businesses that qualiﬁed for a paycheck protection program (PPP) loan have had a bit of a honeymoon from the novel coronavirus these last eight weeks. They were allowed to apply to the government for two months plus 50 percent of their labor costs. From that money they had to pay at least 60 percent to workers to cover payroll, with the remainder underwriting other expenses like utilities, payroll taxes and leases. So the employers who received the payments could Between relax during those two months, and you and me the employees BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF could also stop holding their breaths, knowing that their salaries would be paid. And the government

would keep the workers employed. At least that was how it was supposed to work, and it did, except when the weekly unemployment insurance payments were greater than the weekly salaries and proved too much of a temptation to the employee. In those cases, the employer was in competition with the government and, depending on the worker’s loyalty and long term concern about holding onto a job, the employer would often lose. But the program was essentially a good one. The funds, paid to the businesses and-in turn to their employees, kept the work force together and saved the workers from the frustrations of trying to collect unemployment. The original thinking was that the pandemic would probably lessen after two months and businesses could resume as normal. Well, we now know how that turned out. The pandemic is still with us, although New York is in a much better condition at the moment than most of the rest of the country, but economic activity has not returned to anything like normal, and with social distancing, looks unlikely to return soon. For many of those businesses, the PPP

honeymoon is almost over. How do we prevent a return to the layoffs, loss of company health insurance and nail biting of the pre-PPP days? The good thing about a pandemic is that the whole world is in the same situation, and we can look around and see how other countries are coping or trying to cope. The U.S. has relied on an expanded program of unemployment insurance to tide over workers until the economy resurrects itself. Many European countries have prevented joblessness by essentially nationalizing payrolls and enabling workers to continue to be paid and businesses to resume whenever that happy day comes, without having to rehire and possibly retrain. Workers are often furloughed if there is no work at the shuttered shops and factories, meaning that their jobs will be held for them and they continue to receive their salary, although generally at a reduced amount. In short, Europeans have been pursuing an extended PPP. Workers have not overwhelmed the unemployment insurance system, caused websites to crash, phones to go unanswered, lost health coverage, nor have they stood the requisite six feet apart in the hot sun on long

lines in parking lots, waiting to get into benefit offices. There is also the intangible but priceless advantage of workers not feeling jobless, with the fear and loss of identity that often brings. And today, many feel just that. The U.S. number in June for jobless was 11.1 percent. That’s an increase of some eight percent since February. In the aforementioned European countries, the jobless rate has increased by less than 1 percent. In human terms, that means some 20 million Americans are unemployed. While that’s better than 23 million in April, probably almost all of those people have families who also will feel the effects as tenants begin to be evicted and queues form for food banks. We don’t know what is going to happen in the next few weeks, as government programs for business and unemployment benefits run out if not extended. The $600 federal unemployment boost is supposed to end July 31. Congress is debating whether to extend the time or modify the payout, even as some worry that paying workers more than their salary is a disincentive to work. Just remember, we are in this together. Hang on and stay safe.
