Local Stores Brave New COVID Wave During Holiday Season

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It was a fall shopping season like no other.

One doesn’t have to think too far back to remember the crowds you could practically surf off of during the annual season of Black Friday sales. Not so much this year, as more people stayed home to avoid potentially catching or spreading COVID-19.

Online sales, however, have jumped tremendously. Amazon’s Prime Day started early in October, and Forbes has reported that original projections for the weekend before Cyber Monday indicated increases of online purchases compared to 2019 from 36 to 50%. Amazon has already said this year’s holiday shopping season has been the biggest in its history, contending that medium to small businesses that sell on Amazon have seen record numbers.

Meanwhile, as much as small brick-

Feasts For Beasts

45 Route 25A, Mount Sinai The pet store and groomer in the small outlet along Route 25A in Mount Sinai normally does not do too much for the Black Friday weekend and doesn’t have many extra sales on top of what they already do. Owner Alan Ghidaleson said things on Small Business Saturday were a bit slow.

“For brick-andmortars, this is a tough time,” Ghidaleson said.

As for the pandemic: “We’re surviving it. I’m not saying it’s easy, but we get by.”

The owner said sales start to lag after Thanksgiving, as they have for the past five years or so.

However, he said his business will survive the year, and hopes for better next year.

Niegocki Farms

604 Mount Sinai-Coram Road, Mount Sinai As the last farm in Mount Sinai, the family owned Niegocki located at the southern

and-mortar businesses have been impacted by the ongoing pandemic, we will still have to wait and see how well they did on Small Business Saturday, a shopping holiday promoted by American Express.

Experts, from as close as the Small Business Development Center at Stony Brook University have expressed fear for these small shops, with expectations that close to half of businesses like restaurants could be closed by 2021.

Alignable, a Boston-based online business referral network, reported Dec. 1 based on a poll of 9,204 small business owners that 48% fear they will not earn enough revenue this month to keep their businesses afloat.

Main streets all over Long Island have experienced their share of woe, and while some retail owners say times remain tough, others expressed their thanks to customers who went out of their way to patronize their local mom-and-pop. corner of Heritage Park has a lot riding on its shoulders as the last holdout of the area’s agricultural charm.

It’s why co-owner Tricia Niegocki said they have been able to survive the past few months, because of the customers and locals who know and support them. For Thanksgiving, the farm sold turkeys and eggs, though on the whole more people were looking for smaller birds. The farm opened up for tree sales after Thanksgiving, and since then sales have been good.

“We have a lot of locals that love to shop local and support local,” Niegocki said. “Since we’re the last farm here in Mount Sinai, we’ve actually been blessed to have a good past couple of days.”

She said that because Christmas trees do not have a very large margin, they did not do any sales for Small Business Saturday. Still, things on the farm do not change very much, and while other businesses were forced to close early in the pandemic, Niegocki was considered essential. She said they will be able to maintain over the winter, adding they plan to use their space to host other small shops as a pop-up mall of sorts. They have already hosted two such events over the past year.

“Most of our customers are friends, people who have become friends over the years,” the farmer said. “We are very blessed we have animals that provide us meat and eggs, so that demand will always be there.”

Rose & Boom Boutique

176 N. Country Road #3, Mount Sinai Cat Rosenboom, owner of Rose & Boom in Mount Sinai and St. James, said that supporting local business is more important than ever.

“I always say to shop small,” she said. “But it’s even more true this year.”

Rosenboom, who has owned the Mount Sinai location for four years this month, opened her second store in St. James nearly six months before the stay-at-home shutdown.

“We had just opened up and then had to close the door once we started to get our name out there,” she said.

But despite the coronavirus crisis, she said people were shopping and supporting her stores throughout the whole pandemic, by purchasing things online through her social media accounts and delivering them personally to customers close by.

“You get a personal experience here that you won’t get at a big box store,” she said. “We take pride in getting to know our customers and their families.”

She also will host local retailer pop-ups to support fellow small business owners.

“We like to help local retailers and get the word out about their business,” she said.

Leading up to Black Friday, the shops did daily surprise sales every day in hopes to bring people in – and it worked. “We allowed 10 people in the stores at a time, and they were busy the entire day,” she said.

The Gift Corner

157 N. Country Road, Mount Sinai Marion Bernholz, owner of The Gift Corner in Mount Sinai, has seen the impact a loyal customer base can have on a small shop for getting through a tough time.

TBR News Media has talked to Bernholz every Small Business Saturday for the past three years, and each time she has said it’s the customers who look at her as a friend and neighbor who help her survive in a time of booming online retail.

“We have been doing OK,” Bernholz said.

“People have come up to me in Stop & Shop and asked if I worked at the store. They asked me, ‘Are you doing OK?’” But it seems word of mouth has worked for

her. She said they have been receiving a host of new customers, adding that she estimates they had been ringing up 20 new customers a day from people coming to the North Shore during the summer and fall, many of whom were not able to take their usual vacations.

Game On

465 Route 25A, Miller Place Tristan Whitworth, the owner of Game On, a used and refurbished video game and console retailer with locations in Miller Place and Smithtown, said he has been doing 200% to 300% better than last year, both in terms of sales and customers, which is something that to him was concerning considering just how hard it has been for so many other businesses out there.

When businesses were forced to close, Whitworth and his business partner each came to the separate stores on the North Shore and sold some of their product online, which kept things moving.

“We’re very blessed,” he said. “We were profitable during that phase, too, while other stores couldn’t. For example, you couldn’t do anything for a nail salon. … It’s a weird feeling to have so many places struggle and then us flourish. We didn’t do anything different, we just got lucky.”

Whitworth hosted two $1,500 giveaways to two local businesses this year.

While Whitworth did a host of sales during last year’s Small Business Saturday, this year he tried to make it more subdued to make sure there weren’t too many people crowded close together in his store. Still, there was a steady stream of people coming into the store all day Saturday.

“We’re lucky, we sell things people really, really want right now during a pandemic when they stay home, so we really didn’t push it this year,” he said. “I didn’t want people thinking they need to come support us, because there are a lot of stores that are really actually struggling.”

Fire Commissioners Run for Seats in Mount Sinai Through Wading River

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Local fire departments are gearing up for their annual commissioner elections, and most districts in the local area, save Wading River, are looking at uncontested races.

Commissioners are unpaid elected board members who run the district, which is a connected but distinct entity from the fire department. The district is a taxing entity whose board is elected by the residents in the district. The commissioners determine yearly budgets, go out for grants and propose bonds to maintain equipment and personnel of both the district and department.

TBR News Media reached out to the local fire departments to talk to the commissioner candidates. Candidates talked about how COVID-19 has caused budgetary concerns, and along with current ongoing projects, how they try to recruit new members during a time of a pandemic.

Mount Sinai Fire District

The Mount Sinai Fire District is holding an election Dec. 8 for a five-year commissioner seat. Incumbent Joseph Tacopina is running uncontested for a seat he’s held since 2002.

Tacopina said in a phone interview he has been with the Mount Sinai Fire Department for 35 years. Since he’s been commissioner, he said the board has worked to keep the percentage yearly tax increase below the New York State tax cap. Still, the district’s five-year plan does not include any big-ticket items, he said, and instead focuses on things like replacing the boiler in the main firehouse and other capital improvements.

“We’ve been streamlining processes through

the department, but there are budgetary constraints based on COVID, so some of the projects we were looking to do are minimal in scope,” he said.

The pandemic has brought forth a host of new costs to the district, things that they previously wouldn’t have had to pay for. Tacopina said there were costs associated with sanitizing the firehouse and firefighter equipment, and they have had to spend much more on cleaning supplies and other PPE. At certain points, the district had to close the building to nonessential service for small time periods because of positive infections among volunteers or staff. It has also made recruitment for volunteer-starved departments like Mount Sinai that much harder.

“All these additional costs are not budgeted — we have to spend on sanitizing equipment so we can have our members respond without infecting everybody,” he said.

The election is set for Dec. 8 at the main firehouse located at 746 Mount Sinai-Coram Road from 6 to 9 p.m. The district is also asking residents to vote on a proposition that would make it so an active member can become a participant of the service award program at age 17, instead of 18. The annual cost of the program would increase from $265,200, or $2,160 per participant, to $288,400, or $2,060 per participant.

Tacopina said the district is attempting to allow younger people in their youth programs to become active members sooner to allow them earlier access to firefighter training. Currently young members must turn 18 before joining such training, which usually only allows them a small period for which to train and then work on trucks. Doing this would allow firefighter training for the summer before, so once they turn 18 they’re already ready to become fullfledged members.

“This way before they go to college, we have them for that summer as well,” the commissioner said.

Fischer is seeking another five-year term starting Jan. 1 next year.

Fischer, a 31-year member of the department, has served five terms on the board of fire commissioners. It’s been a long road, though the ongoing pandemic has led to a host of new challenges.

He said the department has been mostly shut down for all non-call and emergency response activities. The department has had to greatly limit the number of training sessions, which along with limitations at fire school, has limited the availability of new recruits to get the training they need.

Still, the important thing, Fischer said, is that they’re still answering calls, which even before the pandemic, close to 70% of calls were for EMS. Like other districts, the pandemic has put an added cost on the district from having to purchase PPE and sanitizing equipment. Just this past week, the department hosted both rapid and the three-day COVID-19 tests for department members.

“We want to make sure our members are safe, especially our EMTs” he said. “I salute the EMTs who are really on the front lines of this.”

Within the past year or so, the district updated their 20-year-old phone system. Though they had applied for a grant in 2019, the department ended up having to pay out of pocket, and that equipment was finally delivered at the beginning

of this year.

Though the commissioner is hope for a return to something resembling normal next spring and summer following the release of a vaccine, that will not be the end to issues in the area. He shared his concern for the ongoing opioid crisis, which data has shown has only been accentuated because of the pandemic. He hopes that they can be allowed to go back in schools sometime in the near future to provide some training and awareness for students related to opioids.

The election is held at the main firehouse at 12 Miller Place Road Dec. 8 from 4 to 9 p.m.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Continued from A3

APPLICATION OF SUNRISE WIND LLC WITH THE NEW YORK STATE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SUNRISE WIND NEW YORK CABLE PROJECT PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, on or about December 9, 2020, pursuant to Article VII of the Public Service Law of the State of New York, Sunrise Wind LLC (the “Applicant”), a 50/50 joint venture between Orsted North America Inc. (“Orsted NA”) and Eversource Investment LLC (“Eversource”), will file an application with the New York State Public Service Commission (the “NYSPSC”) for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need (“Certificate”) to construct, operate, and maintain the Sunrise Wind New York Cable Project (the “Project”).

DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE PROJECT The Applicant executed a 25-year Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificate (“OREC”) contract related to the Sunrise Wind Farm (“SRWF”) and the Project with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”) in October 2019. The Project will deliver power from the SRWF, which will be located in federal waters on the Outer Continental Shelf (“OCS”), to the existing electrical grid in New York (“NYS”). The Project includes offshore and onshore components within NYS that are subject to Public Service Law Article VII review and will interconnect at the existing Holbrook Substation, which is owned and operated by the Long Island Power Authority (“LIPA”).

The Project’s electrical transmission facilities will be comprised of both onshore and offshore cable systems.

Specifically, power from the SRWF will be delivered to the existing mainland electric grid in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York via distinct Project segments: the submarine segment of the export cable (the “SRWEC”), which will be located in both federal and NYS waters (the NYS portion of the cable is referred to as the “SRWEC–NYS”); the terrestrial underground segment of the transmission cable (the “Onshore Transmission Cable”); the new Onshore Converter Station (the “OnCS–DC”); and the underground segment of interconnection cable (the “Onshore Interconnection Cable”). The Onshore Transmission Cable, the OnCS–DC, and Onshore Interconnection Cable are all located in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County.

a specialty shop. Small Business Saturday normally has no effect on him.

“People that enjoy specialty stores, and have all the information, they constantly come to us, we don’t have to advertise or anything,” Donnelly said. “They’re our advertisement.”

The biggest problem for him and his shop was when different municipalities closed tennis courts all over Long Island, despite the argument that tennis is one of the safer sports one could play during a pandemic, as by necessity players are well distanced. The tennis store owner said he and other tennis advocates got together to put a paper on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) desk arguing for tennis to be permitted, and was shortly thereafter allowed along with sports like golf.

“We had a good summer — I hate to brag — I’m just glad I was in the right business for a pandemic, because I would hate to be the rest of these guys,” he said.

The SRWEC–NYS is a direct current (“DC”) electric cable (320 kilovolt [“kV”]) that will deliver electricity generated by the SRWF. The SRWEC enters NYS waters at a point 3 nautical miles (“nm”) offshore from Fire Island and will consist of one submarine export cable bundle up to 6.2 miles (10 kilometers [“km”]) in length in NYS waters to the landfall location on the eastern portion wi Smith Point County Park on Fire Island in the Town of Brookhaven, and a segment up to 1,575 feet (480 meters) located onshore and underground up to the transition joint bays (“TJB”) within the parking lot for Smith Point County Park.

The transition of the SRWEC–NYS and Onshore Transmission Cable will occur where the cables will be spliced together at co-located TJBs and link boxes that will be installed in the parking lot within Smith Point County Park. The Onshore Transmission Cable will consist of one underground DC transmission circuit (320 kV) up to 17.5 miles (28.2 km) in length that will be located within existing developed rights-of-way (“ROW”) to the extent practicable in the Town of Brookhaven.

Power from the Project will be delivered to the NYS electric grid via a new OnCS–DC to be constructed in the Town of Brookhaven. The purpose of the new OnCS–DC is to support the Project’s interconnection to the existing electrical grid by transforming the Project voltage to 138 kV alternating current (“AC”). Interconnection to the electric grid will occur at the existing Holbrook Substation, which is also located in the Town of Brookhaven, via the Onshore Interconnection Cable. The Onshore Interconnection Cable will consist of two underground 138 kV AC circuits, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) in length, which will connect the new OnCS–DC to the existing Holbrook Substation. The Onshore Interconnection Cable will be located within existing roadway and utility ROWs in the Town of Brookhaven.

ACCESS TO ARTICLE VII FILING The Applicant expects to file the Article VII application with the NYSPSC on or about December 9, 2020. A copy of the application filed with the NYSPSC will be served upon the chief executive officers of Suffolk County and the Town of Brookhaven, required NYS agencies, and affected utility companies. In addition, the application will be available in the following local public libraries on or about the same date the application is filed with the NYSPSC: Brookhaven Free Library Jaime Papandrea, Library Director 273 Beaver Dam Road Brookhaven, NY 11719

Miller Place Bait and Tackle

834 Route 25A, Miller Place The fishing business had some interesting ups and downs this year, according to Miller Place Bait and Tackle owners Jim and Sue Flora. Their store had to close along with many others for several months, but once they opened they found many people who had never tried fishing before were buying rods and bait. It was one of the few activities still available to people during the height of COVID. “It’s been a good season for us because everybody went fishing,” Sue Flora said.

“So many people come in saying, ‘I want to learn to fish.’ It was very good for us. They supported us through it.”

She said customers were coming into the shop on Saturday to buy products or even gift cards, specifically to support them.

“We have a nice bunch of loyal customers — we’re really fortunate,” she said.

Jim Flora said they were doing slightly better than last year, and should be in a relatively safe place going into next year.

Flowers on Broadway

43 Broadway, Rocky Point April was supposed to be Rocky Point flower shop Flowers on Broadway’s 20-year anniversary celebration.

Owner Stephanie Navas said they are still somewhat struggling as so many weddings are still on hold while big events, which usually means big sales for florists, are much more subdued.

They have had more to do with funeral work but, despite the morbid implication, even those sales are down compared to previous years, as more funerals have become much smaller events.

“Walk-in traffic isn’t anything like it used to be,” Navas said. “We are doing more home deliveries then we did in the past, but it doesn’t quite balance out.”

While she expected to see some more traffic for Thanksgiving, especially considering more people weren’t traveling, they didn’t see too big a jump in sales. Black Friday, on the other hand, is the “absolute worst” day to be open. This year she said they made little to nothing on the biggest shopping holiday of the year. Saturday did get slightly better, and now Flowers on Broadway is trying to start its big Christmas push.

Still, she said she’s not ready to throw in the towel.

“My hope is just to do as well as last year,” she said. “I’m not hoping for an increase, I’m just looking to maintain at this point.”

Perspective

Looking Back on the History of Presidential Transitions

BY RICH ACRITELLI DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The U.S. is still feeling the friction of the recent presidential election between President Donald J. Trump and President Elect Joseph R. Biden. Since the founding of this republic, our major presidential leaders and their followers fiercely fought to attain the presidency. During this unfortunate period of division, it’s time to look back at the many examples of resentment that has been seen by our leaders.

Years ago, the same tactics seen today were used with the Election of 1800 between President John Adams, Vice President Thomas Jefferson, and Aaron Burr. While Adams and Jefferson were two key founding fathers that liked each other personally, they shared different views over the direction of the government. Although they worked together in the first administration of President George Washington and when Adams became president in 1797 and Jefferson the vice president, these leaders marked the earliest establishment of the political parties, especially during the election process.

During his presidency, Adams had a difficult time governing this young nation. Always a respected figure, Adams was not an overly warm leader that was situated between the icons of the father of the nation in Washington and the writer of the Declaration of Independence in Jefferson.

He desperately held onto the policy of neutrality and enforced the controversial laws of the Alien and Sedition Acts. His Vice President Jefferson was completely opposed to any actions that limited the civil liberties of Americans. Allied with James Madison, Jefferson sought the nullification of Adam’s legislation through the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions. Adams was a one term president that left the officer after Jefferson and Burr received more votes in this election.

At this point there were no running mates and Adams was forced out of the White House. It did not help Adams that powerful members like that of Alexander Hamilton criticized his presidential actions and openly wondered about his mental stability. Although Hamilton and Jefferson were competitive political opponents, Hamilton believed that Burr was unable to be trusted, and he pushed the election towards his rival in Jefferson. On the day of the inauguration, Adams refused to attend this transfer of power, and instead, he went home in disgust.

By the early part of the 1820’s, there was a different sense of leadership that was taking root in America after the last of the Revolutionary Era presidents in James Monroe left office.

By 1824, there was a major political battle that lasted more than four years between the ferocity of Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams to

complete for the presidency.

2020 Elections

GOP Election Commissioner: Zeldin’s Reelection ‘Mathematically Certain’ Englebright/ Palumbo Claim Victory in Respective Races

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With the number of absentee ballots counted so far, the GOP commissioner of the bipartisan Suffolk County Board of Elections told TBR News Media that U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin’s (RNY1) reelection over Democratic challenger Nancy Goroff is “mathematically certain.”

“I expect to certify the race in about a week — with the results showing Congressman Zeldin won by almost 50,000 votes,” BOE Commissioner Nick LaLota said in an email statement. The incumbent congressional representative had a lead of over 60,000 votes by the end of in-person vote counting Nov. 3.

Absentee ballot counting began Nov. 16.

While Goroff and her election staff said on Election Day they had to wait for the results of in-person voting, Zeldin released a statement that night declaring victory. In it he also thanked Goroff for the race.

“As America enters its next chapter, I am confident we will defeat the coronavirus and continue growing our economy,” the incumbent said in that Nov. 3 statement.

Zeldin’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for any kind of new statement based on the commissioner’s election call.

A representative from Goroff’s campaign said they are waiting for additional absentee ballots to be counted before putting out any kind of statement.

In other local races, state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) was confident that mail-in ballots would make a difference in the 2020 race for his seat in the 4th Assembly District, and he was right.

On Dec. 2, LaLota confirmed that Englebright was reelected and that official ballot counts would be available shortly.

The assemblyman said it was good to have the ballot count finished.

“This election was unique because fully one-third of the vote came in through mail ballots and was not included in the initial election night tally,” he said. “It was, however, worth waiting for. The final count was a solid affirmation. I’m grateful that the voters gave me the opportunity to continue representing them in the Assembly. And there is much work to be done in the new year. Until then, please everyone, be safe this holiday season and we will come out of this stronger.”

Ross did not release a statement by press time.

In person voting showed Englebright behind Nov. 4 with 47.44% of the votes, compared to his challenger Republican Michael Ross who had 51.88% of the votes. At the time, there were nearly 18,000 absentee ballots that still needed to be counted in the district.

At the same time, victory was declared by current Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk), who defeated Democratic opponent Laura Ahearn to take Senate District 1. The seat had been held by Republican Ken LaValle for over 40 years.

“As our new Senator, I will work hard every day to continue the legacy of retiring State Sen. Ken LaValle and build upon his strong record

of protecting the environment, supporting our schools, and fighting for taxpayers,” Palumbo said in a statement. “Thank you for putting your trust in me. I am proud and truly grateful to have the opportunity to continue serving our Long Island communities in the New York State Legislature.”

Ahearn did not release a statement by press time.

On Nov. 21, Newsday reported that a part-time BOE ballot counter tested positive for COVID-19, and that election officials had to suspend counting until the following Tuesday. Several individuals were required to quarantine. LaLota said that action did not result in a significant delay in counting.

“Despite a single-digit number of the board’s 123 employees testing positive for COVID, and quarantine orders for those who were in ‘close contact’ with those who tested positive, those unaffected board employees remain dedicated to their work of counting the remainder of Suffolk’s 170,000 absentee ballots,” the Republican commissioner said in an additional statement. “Observing proper COVID protocols, the board expects the counting of absentee ballots to conclude in a few days.”

TRANSITIONS Continued from A7

ing local political figure from the state of Illinois. He only served one term as state representative during the height of the Mexican-American War, where he opposed President James K. Polk’s rationale to go to war. Lincoln demanded proof that “American blood was shed on American soil” at the start of this war between America and Mexico. After his brief stint as a representative, Lincoln was a savvy lawyer that served several terms in the Illinois State Senate. He gained national prominence in 1858 during his senate campaign against Stephen Douglas, where he became the face of the Republican Party, and a known threat against the institution of slavery in the South.

Lincoln openly suggested that there were far too many compromises over slavery and that it should not expand into the new western territories and states. In a series of debates within Illinois, Lincoln showcased himself as a Republican leader that clearly expressed his will to oppose this southern form of slavery. Even as Lincoln lost this election, he rose to national prominence and was a dominant Republican to replace President James Buchanan who refused to run for a second term in 1860. There were written stories in the papers that Lincoln was motivated to intermingle the races and that he lacked intelligence through his country folk manner to lead this country.

By gaining a sectional victory that saw him win most of the populated states in the Northeast and Midwest, Lincoln won the presidency, and the South began to secede.

But President Elect Lincoln had no constitutional authority to oppose the divisive actions of the South and this crisis for more than five months were still left within the inept hands of Buchanan. Always the lawyer, Lincoln must have surely bit his own tongue during his first meeting with Buchanan who did nothing to halt the Confederacy from being created by Jefferson Davis. Like that of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had to wait to take over the presidency in 1933 during the height of the Great Depression, Lincoln watched southern states leave the country during an extremely perilous time.

When Lincoln finally left Springfield, Illinois in March of 1861, there were already death threats being made against him, and Pinkerton detectives quickly moved him out of Baltimore under a disguise and into the capital. During his first term, he had to endure the military failures of generals like that of George B. McClellan. He agonized over the severe casualties of Americans that were killed at Shiloh, Antietam, and Gettysburg. And personally, his own family’s death of his second son Willie from typhoid fever in 1862.

And in 1953, as former Supreme Commander of Allied Expeditionary Forces General Dwight D. Eisenhower and outgo-

ing President Harry S. Truman both drove together to the inauguration, these men had little fondness towards each other. They were both Midwestern men that came from poor families, but these were the only two similarities between these powerful leaders. While Eisenhower was the leader of the massive military forces against Hitler during World War II, Truman was a captain in the field artillery during World War I. Eisenhower was educated at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY, Truman never graduated from high school. Whereas Eisenhower was an outstanding athlete that was well liked, Truman never shied away from expressing controversial views. Truman ordered the dropping of two atomic bombs to end the war in the Pacific and Eisenhower was opposed to use of this weapon against a beaten enemy. While it seemed that Eisenhower’s popularity had endless bounds, it was believed that Truman would lose his re-election to Thomas Dewey in 1948. As Truman won this election, the newspapers did not bother to wait until all of votes for this contest was counted, as they incorrectly printed main titles “Dewey Defeat’s Truman.”

After many years of downplaying any suggestions that he would run for presidency, Eisenhower finally accepted the Republican nomination to oppose Democratic challenger Adlai Stevenson. Always armed with his trademark grin “Ike” quickly realized that running for office was no easy task. He openly opposed the last several years of Truman’s leadership that he deemed corrupt and weak against the communists. Still, he had to answer questions about his running mate Richard M. Nixon’s own illegitimate use of campaign funds and his lack of support for General George C. Marshall who was vehemently attacked as being weak against communism by Senator Joseph McCarthy. And while Truman was leaving the office, he refused to be quiet against the presence of Eisenhower. Truman openly called Eisenhower a Republican “Stooge” who had no original views of his own and was a “Puppet” of this party’s political and business leaders.

With Biden creating his cabinet, gaining the approval to see national security reports, and preparing to be the President of the United States, his poor relationship with Trump is not unusual. Hopefully, there will be some common ground between these two opposite leaders for the good of America. And while this upcoming inauguration will surely be different due to the restraints of COVID-19, may this transition of power go smoothly to ensure the vital national tradition of leadership changes that has been consistent since the days of President George Washington.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS Continued from A5

nicely in the sandbox — so now I’m running for a full term,” he said.

He said the main purpose of the district and commissioners is to maintain service without putting the onus on taxpayers. Last year Sound Beach residents voted to approve a $2.9 million bond to complete repairs and work at the main firehouse that hasn’t seen work in years. Most of the work is repairs and maintenance, McKay said. Repairs and fixes include a makeover of the parking lot, new epoxy floor finishing in the ambulance bays and apparatus room, sprinkler and fire alarm system replacements and window replacements on both floors.

“The floors inside the firehouse are crumbling and in one part of the building a wall has a crack in it,” he said. “Almost every window leaks.”

While the district has made budgets that have gone under the state tax cap for the past several years, this is the first time they will pierce the tax cap due to paying off the bond.

The other big issue the district faces is a lack of volunteers, McKay said. It’s especially hard nowadays to get people to dedicate the necessary amount of time for both training and to be on call.

The election is set for Dec. 8 at the firehouse located at 152 Sound Beach Blvd. from 2 to 9 p.m.

Rocky Point Fire District

Rocky Point is hosting its election Dec. 8 to elect a commissioner to a five-year term.

Incumbent commissioner John Buchner is running unopposed.

Buchner did not respond to a request for an interview by press time.

The election is set for Dec. 8 at the district building at the Shoreham firehouse, located at 49 Route 25A, between 3 and 9 p.m.

Wading River Fire District

Wading River remains one of the few contested elections for commissioner this year. The seat is for a five-year term starting Jan. 1, 2021, and ending Dec. 31, 2025.

Incumbent commissioner of 15 years Jim Meier is facing off against previous commissioner Tim Deveny.

Meier, a third-generation firefighter and 41-year member of the department, said he is running again to continue the work they are doing in upgrading equipment and boost declining

membership. He also boasted there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 in the department, meaning they have maintained a continuity of service throughout the pandemic.

“It’s all about the safety and the financial end,” he said. “We have a board that’s working together well right now.”

He said the district has purchased two ambulances and a new ladder truck in the last two years using capital funds without having to rely on other financial institutions. He also boasted about other grants the district has received in the past several years, including a $200,000 grant for radio systems in 2015.

“With all that saving we can purchase new rigs to keep us going,” he said.

The station 2 firehouse on Hulse Landing Road has been closed for nearly two years now, saying the chief of department originally closed it for mold issues, among other building problems, and they “haven’t been able to reopen it.” That building is now being used for storage, save for a single emergency vehicle, while apparatus and equipment that was housed there has been moved to the main firehouse along North Country Road. Members that used to report to the second firehouse now respond to the main one.

The biggest issue, Meier said, is a lack of enough volunteers to man that station. He said despite additional travel time for some members to get to the station, the move has actually improved response time, as with a single alarm, instead of people responding to two separate houses, more people are available right next to the necessary equipment.

“Most people from that end [of Wading River] were getting older or moving out,” Meier said. “As bad as it is to have the station closed, it’s helped our response time.”

Deveny, a 23-year member and past commissioner from 2004 to 2014, said he is running again because of the issue with the station 2 firehouse, which he said was a major disruption in service to the eastern portion of the Wading River hamlet.

“Public safety — that’s what it’s all about,” Deveny said. “In this day and age when EMS calls are escalating, you take away from the people on the east end?”

He disagreed with the current board saying there are not enough volunteers to staff the station 2 building, saying that as he has worked there, they had 16 people who responded there and were “locked out” in February of last year. He said problems such as the mold issue have already been rectified, and some volunteers taking the trek to the main firehouse has meant a drive time of 10 minutes or more. He added people on his side of town “still don’t know they closed that station down.”

“I’m so angry I can eat glass,” he said. “You can’t put a price on human life.”

The candidate also criticized the district for piercing the state tax cap two years in a row, saying the district needs to work on its financial situation. He said the department did not require a ladder truck when other nearby departments could provide such equipment in a pinch, adding there were no large houses in Wading River that would require that apparatus.

The election is set for the main firehouse located at 1503 N. Country Road, Dec. 8 between 2 and 9 p.m.

Keeping Mom-and-Pops Impact of the Election in Mind

Amazon is not going to go the extra mile and wrap your Christmas presents with professional flair. Amazon is not going to sponsor your local baseball or soccer team. Amazon does not know the names of customers’ family members or shops in the same supermarket that we do.

At the same time, Amazon is still raking in profits. The retail giant moved its annual Prime Day to October this year, essentially setting up an earlier holiday rush than usual. Amazon and other online retailers are anticipated to make $189 billion in revenue this season, up 33% from 2019. Meanwhile many of our local mom-and-pop brick and mortar remain without a hint of additional federal stimulus, praying they do well enough in the next few weeks to stay open in 2021. While Cyber Monday sales are expected to grow this year, American Express, which promotes Small Business Saturday, has reported that in a survey of owners 62% said they need to see spending return to pre-COVID levels to survive 2020.

Though that’s not to say the community isn’t getting involved. Many shop owners we spoke to praised their customers, the ones who have sought out their stores to see how they were doing, buy items or even gift cards.

Some owners managed to take some of their business online during the height of the pandemic in spring, but many did not have the resources to go further. Over the year, we’ve talked to other small business owners who said the additional stresses caused by the pandemic were simply too much to bear and have already closed up shop.

Yet the beast only grows bigger and hungrier. Amazon is planning for a total of three last-mile warehouses on Long Island, with the latest one announced to be in Shirley.

In the Nov. 26 issue of TBR newspapers, we shared the very real and very legitimate concerns of local pharmacists over Amazon’s new pill delivery service, which is rolling out at the end of this year. Amazon won’t know patients’ family history.

Amazon won’t be able to look at a person at their counter and tell if there may be something else wrong healthwise.

All the emphasis on staying at home has led to the ballooning of mail-in delivery services for everything from packages, to food and even alcohol. Some of these delivery businesses, like Door Dash have been a minor boon to brick and mortar who were not allowed to open their doors. Others, such as Amazon Pharmacy, have been taking away larger and larger slices of the economic pie. Will there be a time when your local pharmacy or corner store can no longer compete with a national brand? Maybe, but we’re not there quite yet.

All our local shops were impacted by the ongoing pandemic, and though some industries have managed to compete better than others, the tell-tale signs of anxiety are there in each one. As New York City and Long Island witness increases in COVID-19 infection rates, all eyes are on Albany to see if there will be more restrictions. Experts have already said trends are worrying and have suggested stricter measures.

In that way, we ask people to be considerate not only of business owners but also to your neighbors as well. It may be smart to call ahead before visiting a local shop for a Christmas gift, so as not to spend as much time indoors, potentially with strangers. It’s better to get shopping done early, especially to avoid any kind of gathering crowds on the horizon.

But we have to see the end of 2020, we all crave the end to 2020, but we do not want to see the end to small business on the North Shore and all of Long Island. This holiday season, let’s keep our local mom-and-pops in mind.

For all of you who did not vote for President Donald Trump (R) because of your hatred for the man, we will now be forced to live in a socialist, communist country because the fake

media, Democrats, the Hollywood misfits and all of you voters wanted to get rid of President Trump.

When you lose your money, jobs, health care, first and second amendment

rights as well as your freedom it will be too late. Shame on you! God help our country!

Apparently, some misinformation is circulating about parking meters at our town parks and parking lots. That is unfortunate, particularly since every town board member supported and voted for this new system.

First, know that nothing has changed for those residents who purchase park/ beach stickers. Access to all Brookhaven town parks and parking lots is absolutely free for those who have the stickers.

Brookhaven’s resident parking sticker system, whereby residents pay a onetime fee for a sticker to park at any town location throughout the year, will remain in place unchanged. Reduced fees for senior citizens, veterans and handicapped individuals will also remain unchanged.

Since the onset of the COVID pandemic the town has worked to eliminate person-to-person contact in an

effort to reduce the spread of infections by this virus. The introduction of this system will eliminate the need for staff in booths at these lots to collect daily fees, which result in thousands person-to-person contacts each day. The new system will allow non-residents and those who chose not to purchase a sticker to pay an hourly charge for parking. Payment can be made from your own cell phone, making this a touchless system. Residents with a seasonal sticker/pass will NOT have to pay an hourly fee.

What happens if you are a Brookhaven resident and you don’t have a parking sticker? In the past, the town would hire several seasonal workers who would collect $5 for each car for each day. The cost for those parking without stickers will be 50 cents per hour, which for most will be cheaper than the

$5 per day charge.

The parking system that the town will be installing is similar to the ones used by Port Jefferson and Patchogue Villages.

Parking spaces will not be individually metered. The new system will be in place from May 1 to Sept. 30.

By eliminating seasonal parking attendants, the town will realize a savings that will be passed on to residents via a reduced fee for seasonal parking stickers/ passes for additional vehicles within the same household.

By doing this, we will keep our parks open and operational as we have in the past with reduced costs for our residents in a safer environment by eliminating inperson interaction.

Fare increases for the Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road along with New York City transit bus and subway were already assumed in 2019 as part of the approval process for the $51 billion 2020 - 2024 Five Year Capital Plan. Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), Mayor Bill de Blasio (R) and members of the State Legislature and City Council were all in on this financial arrangement before signing on board.

This included 4% increase in 2021 and 2023. What is new is that MTA Chairman Pat Foye made clear if he doesn’t obtain a second $12 billion CARE Covid-19 bailout, the fare increase in 2021 may be far greater than 4%. It is time for the MTA to consider other cost savings. The $51 billion Capital Plan is dead due to unrealistic funding source assumptions.

As such, it needs to be cut by billions.

Priority should given to paying for safety and state of good repair as opposed to system expansion projects.

MTA budgeted $4 billion of local

funding to be used toward the $6.9 billion Second Avenue Subway Phase Two. This project benefits a handful of the 5 million daily transit riders. There is also $1.5 billion for the Bronx East Metro North Access to Penn Station.

End both the MTA “Arts in Transit” 1% expenditure requirement for many capital projects and Cuomo’s “New York Buy America Act.” Offer major businesses, hospitals and colleges who benefit by MTA services naming rights in exchange for adopting a station, paying for “Arts in Transit” and adding elevators to make them ADA compliant. Lobby the NY Congressional delegation for more reasonable federal Buy America requirements. This impacts the ability of MTA to get the best bang for the buck when spending $1.4 billion in grant funding every year from the Federal Transit Administration.

Stop wasting millions on outside consultants. Use available in house resources do the same work. Go after deadbeat riders who continue to refuse

to pay their fare. They contribute to a yearly loss of several hundred million in lost revenue. Limit employee overtime to legitimate needs such as additional cleaning and maintenance due to the unexpected impacts of COVID-19 and dealing with malfunctioning equipment, accidents or adverse weather conditions when attempting to restore service.

End the approval of excessive overtime used as the basis to fatten up pensions calculated on the final year’s base salary.

All combined could save the MTA billions and reduce the need for a fare increase above the previously scheduled 4%.

Even a second $12 billion CARE COVID-19 bailout will do nothing to change the MTA’s ongoing fiscal crises.

Without real institutional reform at the MTA, along with reliable hard cash financial contributions from both City Hall and Albany, this story will repeat itself again in coming years.

A Few Reminders from a Five-Year-Old Neighbor

M

y five-year-old neighbor Jack keeps me and his parents on our toes, and for that, I am grateful.

In this strange and challenging year, Jack offers a refreshing, clear-eyed and honest assessment of everything he sees.

He speaks directly, asks questions and expects people to treat him the way his kind, caring and supportive parents do.

During the spring, at the start of longer D. None walks around the neighborhood with of the above my dog, I started the

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF pattern of wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts during cooler weather. After all, with nowhere else to go, I didn’t feel compelled to put on a collared shirt,

to change my outerwear or to put on my dress shoes. Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve even looked for my shoes in months. The search for those shoes, and the black socks at the bottom of a drawer somewhere, will be a welcome return to a more normal routine some day.

Anyway, back in the first stages of an endless homebound existence, Jack saw me one morning, greeted my dog , who is 30 pounds heavier than he, and asked me one of the many five-year-old questions that he shares.

“Why are you wearing the same clothes as yesterday?” he asked, as if I were somehow on a walk of shame after an evening that stretched into morning in a college dorm.

“Oh, honey, he’s just wearing the same sweatshirt as yesterday. You do that, too,” his mother gently offered.

Then again, Jack was right. I was wearing the same sweatshirt and sweatpants.

Later, when a nephew who tested negative for the virus came to visit and took a walk with me, Jack listened to his mother chat with us. As we were walking away, Jack watched

my nephew and me head to my house.

“Dan,” he shouted, “Don’t forget about six feet.”

Again, Jack was right. Comfortable as I was, even outside with my nephew, Jack learned the rules and was encouraging me to follow them.

Recently, Jack delved into the minefield of politics. Without any hesitation, he asked my wife and daughter about their votes for the presidential election.

His mother, once again, tried to provide a filter, suggesting that such a conversation might not be necessary or comfortable.

Our daughter, who has had extensive experience babysitting children of all ages, had no trouble answering the question in a way that wouldn’t upset Jack, regardless of his or, more likely, his parents’ thoughts on the subject.

Cliche as it seems, it occurred to me, listening to my wife recount this conversation, that Jack, and the need to meet his earnestness and honesty, offered a

reminder about public discourse.

Five-year-olds may not know everything, but they know when an adult is being condescending or is belittling them. They need the same kind of honesty they give.

At the same time, they need answers that don’t insult them. Even if they, or their parents, have different views, they need to know that others respect them.

Therein, it occurred to me, lies the lesson.

We don’t need to avoid conversations with each other about topics on which we disagree.

We are guaranteed the freedom to disagree with everyone, from our siblings, to our parents, to the president.

We also might do well to think of others who are speaking to us as Jack. We don’t need to picture others as five-year-olds. We can, and will, engage in more satisfying discourse if we follow some of the same principles when speaking with anyone. With so many challenges ahead, we will accomplish more together, and respectfully, than if we take each other down.

The Life of A Child with Down Syndrome

T

hanksgiving Day would have been my sister’s 78th birthday. But my parents were told at her birth that she would not live long because she had Down syndrome, a genetic disorder.

In fact, one of the physicians at the hospital commented, “Best to just throw her in the garbage.” My mother, who was deeply religious, advised the doctor Between that he was not God, told him in you and me no uncertain terms

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF where he could go, and together with my father, brought my sister Maxine to our loving and supportive home.

That was 1942, when no one ever saw a Down syndrome child, with the characteristic

physical markings of a round face, almondshaped and up-slanting eyes and short stature, on the streets of New York. As a result, she was the object of stares when we were in public.

Fortunately, she was a happy and social child, and when she saw people staring, she would wave at them, smile and say, “Hello.” If they stopped, she would continue with, “How are you?” and even, “How old are you?” She would then advise them that they looked much older and thus make them laugh.

Even as late as 1960, the life expectancy of people with Down syndrome was considered to be 10. But by 2007, on average and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, persons born with Down would live to be about 47 years old. My sister made it to 65.

Why the dramatic difference within one lifetime? The easiest answer is the change in attitudes about children with Down syndrome.

When Maxine was born, such children were routinely institutionalized, where they received notoriously poor treatment and lived in horrible conditions. Journalist and lawyer Geraldo

Rivera, in 1972, exposed the neglect and abuse in Staten Island’s Willowbrook State School. It broke people’s hearts and was a change agent, and such facilities began to disappear.

Since the 1970s, a Down syndrome child is to be given a free and appropriate education like any other child in the United States by law.

When my sister was six, my mother brought her to the neighborhood elementary school to register her for first grade. That was the first of many times she and Maxine were turned away.

With great patience, my mother taught Maxine how to read “Dick, Jane and Baby,” to write her name and address between the lines, and to do arithmetic on a second-grade level. Ultimately Maxine attended a Catholic school in Brooklyn for children with special needs. My sister also had a natural gift for music, often spending many minutes playing familiar melodies by ear on the household piano.

I was reminded of all this by December’s Atlantic monthly magazine’s cover story, “The Last Children of Down Syndrome.” The article,

by Sarah Zhang, focuses on prenatal genetic

testing, the impact it’s having on the number of children born with special needs, and its effects on world-wide population as it becomes easier and more widespread. Her report is centered in Denmark, which in 2004 became one of the first countries to offer free genetic Down syndrome screening to every pregnant woman.

She writes that since universal screening was offered, the number of parents who chose to continue a pregnancy after a Down diagnosis, in 2019 for example, was seven. What does the universal introduction of choice indicate about the future of humanity as genetic testing gets more sophisticated? she asks.

What is the value of a human life? The article poses the question, as well as dealing with the terrible pressures of choice. My mother was 36 when she gave birth to my sister. Age 35 and older is considered higher risk for the birthing of a Down syndrome child. There wasn’t the choice of amniocentesis then, certainly not other genetic testing, but had there been, I know how my parents would have reacted.

They would have carried on in the same way.
