A Letter from Lake Grove Village Mayor Robert Scottaline

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

As we deal with this pandemic that none of us could have imagined, it is important to remember that we all have an important role in mitigating the duration and severity of what we are going through.

Social distancing is imperative in reducing the amount of those afflicted with COVID-19. It is as important for children as it is for the rest of us. We have closed all Village parks as a precaution after observing people congregating at these locations.  I encourage children to stay active while still observing social distancing. While this may be a difficult concept for the children, it shouldn’t be for parents and grandparents.

What we are witnessing is unprecedented. We must adapt and look out for one another. People are looking for answers and wondering just how bad this will get.  While we can’t accurately answer that, we can help to control the outcome. Media coverage and our leadership have provided us with very good advice; most of which is just common sense. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly and keep a distance of at least six feet from those we may be in contact with.

Each person that contracts the virus can infect dozens of others before actually knowing they are a carrier. That could mean a relative with a compromised immune system or our loved ones in their later stages of life.  To them the virus can be very serious and life threatening.

Please help by doing your part and following the guidelines that we all should be aware of at this point.

Also, please remember our local businesses that faithfully serve us through better times. Take-out food is still available at most if not all of our local eateries. We want to help them stay solvent so they will still be there after we beat this nemesis that we are fighting.  Authorities are telling us that we should discard the packaging and wash our hands before eating, but the food should pose no danger.

We will get through this if we work together. To those that have been seriously affected, we as neighbors will stand with you through this difficult time. Lean on us. You will be surprised at just how strong we can be together and we will come out of this even stronger.

God Bless us all.

Robert (Bob) Scottaline, Mayor

Protect Yourself and Your Family from Covid-19

Overview

Infectious disease experts say most cases of COVID-19 are mild to moderate, like the common cold. But it can be more severe in older adults and people with chronic health conditions.

Most cases are likely to be spread from person to person by droplets when coughing. Since this virus is very new, health authorities continue to carefully watch how this virus spreads. There are simple steps you can take to help protect yourself and your family.

 Symptoms

Coronavirus (COVID-19) may cause mild to severe respiratory symptoms like:

  • Cough
  • Fever
  • Trouble breathing, and
  • Pneumonia

CDC believes at this time that symptoms may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure to the virus.

Prevention

Everyone should:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before you eat. Use hand sanitizer when washing hands are not an option.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Keep a distance of at least 6 feet to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Avoid shaking hands, hugging and kissing.
  • Cover your cough and sneezes with a tissue and discard it in a closed container.
  • Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects. Avoid surfaces that are often touched, such as door knobs and handrails.
  • Avoid attending public places and events.

For people who are sick:

  • Stay home.
  • If you have a fever, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicines, such as acetaminophen.
  • Keep sick household members away from others. If you have a separate room that is best.
  • Use soap and water, a bleach and water solution, or EPA-approved household products. You can make your own cleanser with a mixture of 1 cup of liquid unscented chlorine bleach in 5 gallons of water.
  • Avoid sharing personal items. Anyone at high risk for complications should talk to their healthcare provider for more information.
  • The first Coronavirus testing site in Suffolk County has opened in South P Lot at Stony Brook University. To receive Coronavirus updates from Suffolk County, text COVIDSUFFOLK to the number 67283. Appointments are necessary and you will only be granted one if you meet the symptoms of COVID-19. To make an appointment, call 1-888-364-2065. No doctor referral is needed.

 

 Stay Informed

  • Stay connected on your state and local health department’s social media pages and websites for timely and accurate COVID-19 information.
  • Be aware of false information circulating on the internet. Accurate and up-to-date information is available from the State Health Department at health.ny.gov/coronavirusor its hotline at 1-888-364-3065, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website and social media platforms at www.cdc.gov/COVID19
  • If you live alone and become sick, you may need to ask for help. If you have a chronic disease and live alone, ask your friends, family, and health care providers to check on you.

Suffolk County residents can now dial 3-1-1 for non-emergency inquiries or government service requests. The Suffolk 311 Call Center is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.

New York State has launched a new email system to provide daily updates about COVID19. https://now.ny.gov/page/s/coronavirus-updates​

A Message from Mayor Robert Scottaline

Whereas Village Mayors do not have the authority to cancel local elections in their districts, we have urged the Governor to postpone elections to a later date. At 6:36PM on the 16th we received an email allowing us to do just that until the 28th of April.

Please be advised that the Village election originally scheduled for the 18th of this month for two Trustees is in fact delayed until the 28th of April by the Governor of the State of New York. He alone has that authority.

We believe now and have believed for many days that the decision is the prudent and cautious thing to do.

I want to thank the Governor for hearing us and responding appropriately.

Working in Harmony with Retail Centers

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season.

While 2019 was another successful year for the Village of Lake Grove, I am very confident that 2020 will bring even more reasons for us to be proud of our community.

We are working closely with all of our retail outlets and developers to bring into the Village only those retailers that we feel will enhance our area. Meetings with Smith Haven Mall management have been very productive. The executives view this mall as one of their high-end centers and agree that we need to provide retailers that offer the best shopping experience for our diverse community.

We have been communicating with other retail centers to work in harmony to bring in quality stores that will not only provide a positive shopping experience, but also be a good reflection of our Village to those that come to Lake Grove to shop. While we do not have a true downtown area, it is important that we provide a quality perspective of our Village not only in the quality of the retailers, but also in the architecture and signage that they provide.

I, along with the Village Board and staff, continue to monitor existing retailers and developers for compliance with our local laws. We take our codes very seriously. Those that put out illegal signage and eye-catching devices that create a blight within the Village find themselves in our Village court paying fines for their transgressions and noncompliance.

I am extremely proud of how we are progressing as a Village but admit that I am only one of numerous people making it happen. We operate as a team and work together to provide the highest standard of living for our families and yours.

Please feel free to contact us with any comments and suggestions, as we are all part of the team. Many helpful suggestions have come from those attending meetings, calling Village Hall, commenting on our web page, or just through casual conversations during chance meetings.

Once again; I wish you all a very safe and wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Robert (Bob) Scottaline

Mayor

Let’s Work Together to Fight Opioid Crisis & Human Trafficking

Dear Neighbors and Friends,

Recently, the Village provided a forum in our Recreation Center for a workshop on dealing with the Opioid Crisis and Human Trafficking.  The event was sponsored by the Suffolk County Village Officials Association (SCVOA); an organization that the Village is a member of, and I am on the Executive Board.

The event was attended by an assortment of local leaders from across Suffolk County with very experienced and informed guest speakers.  We were honored to have our Suffolk County Police Commissioner, Geraldine Hart, Suffolk County District Attorney, Timothy D. Sini, and Suffolk County Sheriff, Errol Toulon Jr as the primary speakers. These three dedicated people alternately spoke and certainly opened our eyes and made us very aware of how closely the two topics are related.

Most human trafficking is a direct result of young women becoming addicted to these drugs and making them dependent on their suppliers. These women, when incarcerated, are identified more as victims than criminals.

Many young men, as we know, are also victims, believing that they will not be the ones who will become dependent on these very addictive drugs, or even worse, become a statistic.

We need to make everyone aware of the dangers of not only those drugs purchased on the streets, but also those that may be prescribed and taken legally or just sitting on the shelves in our medicine cabinets.

All those present received a vast amount of knowledge and literature on dealing with the challenges of these prevalent issues and how they are being dealt with everyday by those providing the material.

The statistics are in our favor, as the number of fatalities and incidents are decreasing with each passing year. It is my hope that the evening provided us all with the knowledge we need as village, town, fire districts, and other officials to assist in bringing these numbers down even further.

Please contact us at Village Hall if you are aware of any organization; PTA, fire district, or any other group that might want to put together a meeting to discuss these issues or simply to pick up literature at the Village.

I know that we will make a difference in Lake Grove and across Suffolk County.

Special thanks to all that attended and especially to our guest speakers who gave their time to help make us more educated on these extremely important topics. These three dedicated people are working twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year.  We are very fortunate to have such qualified people working for us and with us.

Very Truly Yours,

Robert (Bob) Scottaline
