The Village of Babylon Historical and Preservation Society building drew a large crowd on Sun., Oct. 20 to help celebrate the society’s 50 years of preserving the rich history that exists in Babylon Village since 1974.
Catered by The James, the cocktail party boasted a selection of wine, desserts and appetizers. In attendance, in addition to the society’s board of trustees and President Judy Skillen, were Village of Babylon Mayor Mary Adams, Deputy Mayor
Frank Siebert, Village Trustee Dominic Bencivenga, Town Supervisor Richard Schaffer, Suffolk County Legislator Kevin McCaffrey and Historical Society past president Jackie Marsden. She closed the ceremonies with memories she had while developing the historical society.
Skillen remarked on how humbled she feels to be the president as the society reaches this momentous milestone.
“I feel honored to be following in the footsteps of all the past people,” she said.
“This is a celebration of not only 50 years of the Historical Society, but 50 years of prog-
ress in making Babylon more beautiful,” said village historian Wayne Horsley, adding that Babylon Village has never looked better and that it is the people in the village who make it the best.
Proclamations were presented to Skillen and the Historical Society by Adams, McCaffrey and Schaffer, who collectively spoke on the importance of the work the Historical Society does in preserving Babylon Village’s history through programs and educating the next generations.
“It’s great to be celebrating 50 years,” said McCaffrey.
“Babylon Village continues to lead the way in making sure we remember our past in the village.” He added that it is important to remember the past in order to better shape the future.
“Just looking around, there are so many great exhibits,” added Schaffer. “Babylon Village is a special place that the society keeps alive and allows
for the younger generation to learn about all the good that takes place here.”
“The Historical Society is a tribute to our village and who we are,” said Adams. She added that the Heroes Fountain, to be installed, will add another layer of history for future generations to share.

Urgent call for Type O blood donations
A critical shortage of Type O blood is currently a matter of concern.
New York State Senator Monica R. Martinez is putting out a request for Long Islanders to donate to the New York Blood Center, NYBC. They are currently seeking donations of Type O+ and O blood, in particular.
According to the NYCB, there is currently a dangerous shortage that is affecting local hospitals and Type O blood is at its lowest since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Type O+ is the most common blood type, representing nearly 40 percent of the U.S. population. Type O- is the universal blood type and is commonly used in emergency settings. A shortage of
both types, both locally and nationally, pose serious concerns for thehealthcare system.
“As Long Island faces a critical shortage of Tpe O blood, I urge residents to help save lives by donating as soon as possible,” said Martinez. “Having an adequate supply of blood products during medical emergencies can make the difference between life and death. Be a lifesaver, make a donation today.”
To view current eligibility guidelines, find a donor center near you and schedule an appointment, visit nybc. org or call 1-800-688-0900.

BABYLON MAN SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS FOR DRUG, GUN
POSSESSION
Joshua Oltchick, 26, of West Babylon, was sentenced to 10 years in prison last week for illegally possessing over 2,700 pressed fentanyl pills and a loaded firearm, according to S.C. District Attorney Ray Tierney.
“Every fentanyl pill that this armed prior felon intended to sell in Suffolk County is a potential fatal overdose and, thankfully, our Suffolk County police officers interrupted his crimes with good police work,” said Tierney. “This 10-year sentence should send the message that we will not tolerate those who sell poison in Suffolk County.”
A ccording to court documents and Oltchick’s admissions during his guilty plea on Sept. 16, 2023, members of the Suffolk County Police Department responded to the corner of 7th Avenue and 15th Street in West Babylonon reports of a male slumped over behind the steering wheel of a parked vehicle. Upon arrival, the officer observed the vehicle parked facing the wrong direction with its engine still running. The officer approached the vehicle and saw a firearm between the defendant’s legs on the driver’s seat, which was ultimately found to be a loaded Beretta USA Corp. .380 auto caliber semiautomatic pistol.
The officer was able to open the vehicle door, reach in, and turn the engine off. A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of 8.25 ounces of pressed fentanyl pills, 1,930 milligrams of cocaine, and 1,080 milligrams of amphetamine, all packaged in a manner consistent with street-level drug sales. Detectives also found drug packaging material, dilutants used to extend the supply of narcotics, two digital scales, two cell phones, and $3,319 in cash.
On Oct. 2, 2024, Oltchick pleaded guilty before Acting Supreme Court Justice Steven Pilewski to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 2nd degree, a Class A felony, and attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the 2nd degree, a Class C violent felony.
CRIME WATCH
On Nov. 4, 2024, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison followed by five years of post-release supervision.
Oltchick has a prior conviction from 2022 for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 3rd degree.

Voters pick issues, not party
CONTINUED
close to call as the two first-time candidates, both former police officers, vied for the seat currently held by Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean-Pierre, who chose not to seek reelection.
By deadline, O’Pharrow was leading by 447 votes, according to Suffolk County Republican Chair Jesse Garcia, though absentee and affidavit ballots still had to be counted. “We knew this would be a competitive race,” Garcia said, noting that the outcome would depend on those outstanding ballots.
Suffolk County Democratic Chair Richard Schaffer praised O’Pharrow’s strong resume, saying it resonated with the blue-collar, middle-class voters who make up the district. “He will understand the issues that are important to his constituents when he goes to Albany as part of the Suburban Caucus,” Schaffer said.
Schaffer also highlighted the massive turnout and support for Presidentelect Donald Trump in the region, noting that Democrats were still able to win several key races.
“In Babylon, voters tend to support the candidate, not the party,” he added. “The people of Babylon have elected me, as well as Republicans like Assemblyman Michael Durso and Democrat Sen. Monica Martinez, because they recognize which officials are working for the people and which are not.”
Unofficial results showed the following outcomes:
•Congressman Andrew Garbarino (R) defeated Democrat Rob Lubin, 60% to 40 %, in the 2nd Congressional District.
•Senator Alexis Weik (R) defeated Democrat Francis Dolan, 67% to 33%, in the 8th Senate District.
•Assemblyman Michael Durso (R)
defeated Democrat Steven J. DellaVecchia, 66% to 33%, in the 9th AD.
•Assemblyman John Mikulin (R) defeated Democrat Harpreet Toor, 64% to 36%, in the 17th AD.
Garbarino, who won a second term, expressed his gratitude to voters.
“I am honored to earn the trust and support of my district once again,” he said. “We’ve accomplished so much in the last four years, but there’s still much work to do, starting with securing our border, ending the SALT deduction cap, and building an affordable economy for everyone.”
Martinez also expressed her appreciation for the voters in the 4th SD.
“I’m excited to continue representing you in Albany. Together, we will keep working toward a stronger, more vibrant future for everyone in our community,” she said. “I will keep fighting for our schools, our neighborhoods, and our environment.”
Durso, who also secured reelection, thanked voters for their continued trust and support.
He announced he would be joining Senator Jack Martins and Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz to introduce the Our Schools, Our Rules Act, which aims to protect local control of school districts and block the state-mandated regionalization of schools.
Assemblyman Keith Brown, who won reelection in the 12th AD, also expressed his gratitude.
“It is an honor to continue representing our Long Island communities,” he said. “We worked hard for this victory, knocking on doors and listening to the concerns of our neighbors. I’m committed to supporting legislation that will make Long Island and New York State safer, smarter, and cleaner.”

The Weight Band — helmed by by Jim Weider, a 15-year former member of The Band, and the guitarist who replaced Robbie Robertson — pays tribute to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ensemble’s iconic, timeless and enduring 1968 album “Music from Big Pink.,” on the Paramount stage, Sunday, Nov. 24, 7 p.m. The Weight Band, named for the classic The Band song “The Weight,” performs a rare and historic show showcasing the album in its entirety, along with outtakes and other favorites by The Band. The concert also include cuts from their latest album “Shines Like Gold,” a dynamic set of classic Americana that draws upon roadhouse rock, funky swamp pop, blues, country soul, and folk music. The band interprets and honors the legacy of “Music from Big Pink,” which changed rock and roll forever. The Band drummer Levon Helm inspired Weider to launch The Weight Band in 2013, as a vehicle for carrying on The Band’s iconic sound. Frontman Weider, a Woodstock native who joined The Band in 1985 and was a member until 2000, was also a member of the Levon Helm Band.
Originating inside Helm’s famed Woodstock barn Weider was inspired to carry on the musical legacy of the iconic group. Years of touring have seen The Weight Band revive “The Woodstock Sound,” keeping the spirit of Americana/Roots Rock alive. He is joined by keyboardist Brian Mitchell (Helm’s Midnight Ramble Band), bassist Albert Rogers (Jim Weider Band, Jimmy Vivino), drummer Michael Bram (Jason Mraz) and keyboardist Matt Zeiner (Dickey Betts). The veteran quintet shares a deep appreciation and knowledge for this music, which Weider describes as the “Woodstock Sound.” The Weight Band continues to serve as its torchbearer, with “Shines Like Gold” representing a sublime example of these masterful roots musicians at work. They continue to keep the sound vibrant by releasing new music. Replicating the music of The Band would be a tall order, but interpreting it is an art. The songs The Band created have pleased audiences for decades, and The Weight Band has found a way to honor the legacy while creating its own sound with original works that complement that legacy. $45, $35, $30, $25. The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington. Tickets available at ticketmaster.com or paramountny.com.

Dealing with the postSandy bureaucracy
Sun-Filled Gracious Colonial
Q. I saw an article about auditing government by our state comptroller and wondered if you saw how he outlined waste and mishandling federal and state funds, in recovering from Superstorm Sandy. He cited gaps in program “oversight.” Were you aware of problems? We got funds from the New York Rising program. It was an ordeal we hope to never repeat. Like our neighbors, our house was raised, but they got more money without questions. We received a letter demanding $20,000 back, claiming funds were misused. Our neighbor built an illegal ground-floor family room with a wet bar, yet we were told we could only have storage, for example, and the state didn’t even say anything when they passed inspection. Did you see that people were treated differently, and is there any recourse?
A. Since the program has ended, I doubt that you can appeal. For 10 years after the storm I made many observations of the ways in which the officials at each level handled the specifics of insisting on everything from plastic laminate countertops versus quartz or granite, the waste of every property separately surveyed for groundwater depth, the use of the ground floor and the changes in whether you could have a window or door opening, and even whether you could have masonry steps when the program only allowed for wood steps, which were destined to need maintenance or replacement in a short period of time. There were many ways a design professional like me, working with the recipients of the funds, like you, could have helped to make the programs more efficient, safer, and less expensive for the government, but each time I tried to contact the fund management, my input was ignored. I met with the national head of FEMA while I was filming a documentary about disasters in Moore, Oklahoma, as well state legislators and our local New York Rising program director. In each case I got a business card and a “Shoot me an email and we’ll talk,” but never any follow-up.
I saw that it was a complete waste to ask homeowners to separately pay for groundwater testing on their property, for $1,000 to $2,500, in order to qualify for house-raising when an organized agency could have saved millions of dollars by getting testing done up and down entire blocks, mobilizing the testing company to come to a block once instead of randomly testing next-door neighbors’ properties a day apart. I was working with five neighbors at one time, and tried to get a state and local adviser to review procedures and applications in a single meeting, only to be told that one would meet on a Wednesday, the next the following week and squeeze another in by the month’s end.
And, yes, I witnessed many differences in people’s treatment and how cases were handled, and I could not get an explanation when appealing on behalf of a homeowner. Perhaps the Homes and Community Renewal Agency can advise. Good luck!

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

As pension costs rise, so do taxes
Suffolk County’s proposed operating budget is showing a tax increase in both the general and police district funds. The town of Hempstead is seeking a 12 percent increase. Numerous other towns are proposing tax increases, as are most school districts on Long Island.
We question whether these increases are needed while the schools, towns and county are sitting on record reserves left over from the pandemic, but we cannot lose sight of the fact that these municipalities are being required to pony up more money for the state pension fund as a result of irresponsible actions by the State Legislature earlier this year.
These increases are, at least in part, the direct result of the pension time bomb starting to explode.
Back in 2012, there was recognition that public-sector pension obligations were a train going off a cliff. So the Legislature implemented a new plan for newly hired government employees that limited the amount of overtime that could be rolled into their pensions. It also required higher contributions from those new employees, and raised their retirement age. The reforms were estimated to be saving taxpayers up to $1 billion annually.
Retirees’ health care and accrued overtime make for sweet deals indeed.
Legislators took bows for how responsible they were. But then, when they thought no one was looking at the end of last session, the Legislature folded under pressure from members’ municipal union benefactors, and the reforms were watered down or, in some cases, outright reversed.
But the give-it-away Legislature wasn’t done yet. It also added a sweetener that allows final pension calculations to be based on the last three years of service, rather than the present five, which generally have a lower average pay.
These maneuvers will result in an additional $1.5 billion for the New York State and Local Employees Retirement System. They are likely to add over $4 billion in additional debt for all of the public pension systems throughout the state.
Every time pension costs go up, the state comptroller mandates that schools and local governments pay a bigger percentage into the pot. Thus, when a newspaper reports that an employee is making $100,000, the actual cost to the taxpayer is far beyond that. First, add another $30,000 for the cost of health care. Then add another percentage on top of that for the employee’s eventual pension cost. For average employees, it could be as much as an additional 16.5 percent. For police officers, it could be as high as 33.7 percent. That’s up to $33,700 for the pension cost annually on top of a $100,000 salary and the $30,000 in health benefits. On a police officer’s $200,000 salary, that amount jumps to $67,400.
Our Center for Cost Effective Government warned in a white paper a few years ago that we are headed for tough times if we don’t get control of these pensions. We suggested totally ending the practice of adding overtime into pension calculations. Doing so could save taxpayers $50 billion to $80 billion over the next 20 years. Not only was our warning ignored, but the Legislature made things even worse. And now you are paying for it via another tax increase.
It’s axiomatic that elected officials will continue to be free to make decisions that are contrary to the interests of the taxpayers they serve. The question is, how long will we continue to accept a system in which legislators who sweeten the pot at the behest of their union leader benefactors are able to accept campaign contributions from those same benefactors?

N.Y. needs to make entrepreneurship an option for all
our economy thrives on the spirit of entrepreneurship — new businesses solve problems, create jobs and contribute tax revenue. States like New York recognize this, offering programs and funding to support startups. But an essential segment of our population is being overlooked: people with disabilities. It’s time New York state extends its support to include businesses owned by people with disabilities.
Entrepreneurship can be a lifeline for those with differing abilities. It can be lifechanging — not just for business owners, but also for their employees, families and communities. My son, John Cronin, is a prime example.
When John entered his final year at Huntington High School, he was excited about joining the workforce. Yet he quickly found that traditional paths weren’t available to him. John has Down syndrome, and like many people with disabilities, he faced an unacceptable reality: Only one in five adults with a disability is employed.
But John is a natural entrepreneur. If he couldn’t find the right job, he’d create his own. So he came to me with an idea:
He wanted to start a business together. That was the spark that led to John’s Crazy Socks, a social enterprise that has since grown into a seven-figure business and the world’s largest sock store.
Consider the impact John’s entrepreneurism has had. We’ve created 34 jobs, and 22 of them are held by people with differing abilities.
Through our Giving Back program, we’ve donated over $800,000 to organizations like Special Olympics New York, the National Down Syndrome Society, and North Shore Animal League America. Over 3,000 students and social service clients have toured our operation, finding inspiration in John’s story. And we’ve seen other entrepreneurs with differing abilities courageously follow his path.
differing abilities represent an extraordinary, untapped talent pool, ready to work and contribute.
To unlock this potential, New York state can take five specific steps:
A disability hasn’t kept my son, Mark, from leading the world’s largest sock store.
1. Certification for disability-owned businesses. The state already certifies businesses owned by women and veterans, which gives these businesses crucial visibility and access to state resources. Establishing a similar certification for disability-owned businesses would send a powerful message and create essential opportunities for these businesses.
people with disabilities? By including them, we could unlock even greater economic potential.
4. Technical support for startups. The state offers technical support through various programs, and coordinating these resources for disability-owned startups would level the playing field for entrepreneurs like John.
5. Startup grants. New York provides millions in grants to encourage new businesses. Some of these funds should be earmarked specifically for startups owned by people with disabilities.
John’s story shows that entrepreneurship isn’t just an option; it’s an essential alternative for people with disabilities. When given the opportunity, they contribute, uplift others, and bring positive change to our communities. By supporting entrepreneurship for people with differing abilities, New York has an opportunity to address one of the highest unemployment rates among any group. It’s not just good policy; it’s good business. A 2018 Accenture report found that companies leading in disability inclusion perform 28 percent better financially than their peers. People with
2. Set-asides for disabilityowned businesses, New York has created procurement set-asides in state contracts for women-owned and veteran-owned businesses. Extending this to include disability-owned businesses would ensure they have a fair chance to secure state contracts and grow.
3. Expand NYSID programs to include for-profits. New York State Industries for the Disabled generates millions of dollars in wages for people with disabilities through nonprofit partners. But this outdated restriction excludes forprofit businesses, perpetuating the false impression that only nonprofits will employ people with disabilities. Why exclude for-profit businesses owned by
People with differing abilities are a vast, often overlooked resource. They are ready, able and willing to contribute to our economy, bringing diverse perspectives, talents and innovations. Yet structural barriers have kept many from reaching their full potential. John’s Crazy Socks has proven that when people with disabilities start businesses, they don’t just create jobs — they inspire others, spark change and strengthen their communities. New York state has both the resources and the responsibility to foster this kind of inclusive growth. Let’s build an economy that works for everyone. By embracing entrepreneurship for people with differing abilities, our state can show the nation what’s possible when opportunity is available to all.

Herald editorial
Delivering quality journalism matters most
last week’s news that The Newark Star-Ledger will cease its print edition and become digitalonly in February offers an opportunity to reflect on how quality journalism best serves our communities today.
The Star-Ledger’s shift, along with similar moves by other newspapers in New Jersey, reflects the complex reality facing modern newsrooms. But rather than seeing this as a choice between print and digital, let’s focus on what research consistently shows: Different formats serve different purposes, and many readers benefit from both.
Print newspapers continue to command exceptional trust and engagement. Studies repeatedly demonstrate that readers retain information better from print, and advertisers see stronger results from print campaigns. There’s something uniquely focused about the experience of reading a physical newspaper — the thoughtful progression through its pages, the serendipitous discoveries, the natural hierarchy that helps readers understand what matters

Affordable housing tops the list of L.I.’s problems
To the Editor:
I’m writing in response to the editorial “The Herald’s pact with you” (Oct. 31-Nov. 6), in which you ask, “What are the topics you care about?”
There are many problems affecting Nassau County, Long Island, New York state and the United States that I care about, but the one I find myself coming back to more than any other is housing, specifically the availability of affordable housing.
I live in Point Lookout, a community that has gentrified enormously since my parents bought a home here in 1957, for which they paid $17,500, taking a 10-year mortgage. It’s great for me, I guess, that my home has appreciated in value astronomically, but, in my opinion, not so good overall for the people of Long Island.
One of my daughters struggled to find somewhere to live on her own nearby, finally settling into part of a home in another Nassau County community, paying rent that’s at the very limit of what she can afford. And this is typical. As individuals and families struggle to pay their mortgages and property taxes, there are close to zero apartments and mixed-use developments being built.
In Long Beach, just down the road from Point Lookout, there are innumerable, mostly illegal apartments in homes, despite the periodic statements of various Long Beach officials
most. Digital platforms, meanwhile, excel at breaking news and interactive graphics.
The most successful news organizations today recognize that different stories, and different moments, call for different platforms.
At the Herald, we see firsthand how print and digital complement each other. Breaking news might first appear online, and then our print editions provide the context, analysis and depth that help readers truly understand issues affecting their communities. Each platform serves its purpose, and together they create a more informed community.
The future of news isn’t about choosing digital over print, or vice versa — it’s about delivering quality journalism through whatever channels best serve you, our readers. There’s no doubt that news will eventually be delivered by a technology that doesn’t even exist yet, and that’s OK.
Local newspapers, regardless of format, serve as champions of community achievements, watchdogs of public officials and chroniclers of the stories that
matter most to our readers. Whether you’re holding a printed page or scrolling on a screen, what matters most is the quality of the journalism you’re reading.
At the Herald, our commitment has remained unchanged for many decades: to provide trustworthy, impactful journalism that serves the people of Long Island. We’ll continue investing in both print and digital delivery, recognizing that our readers benefit from having choices in how they consume news. And, of course, we always want to hear from you about how we can serve you and your communities better.
The future of journalism depends not on the medium but on the continued support of readers who value quality local news. Whether you prefer print or digital, or both, your engagement helps ensure that professional journalism continues to thrive in our communities. Tell your friends and family to subscribe to their local newspapers, wherever in the world they live.
We look forward to being your trusted source of local news for years to come.
promising a crackdown on such apartments.
The opposition to building more housing on Long Island is fierce. Look what happened last year to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s attempt to encourage the construction of more housing throughout the state.
Local politicians rant and rave about how apartments and multi-unit developments near transit hubs will destroy the suburban character of Nassau County — as if developers were looking to build huge apartments in residential neighborhoods!
Fin our intensified max on here to
— while our young people and families who cannot afford to buy homes have almost no options for housing. Cowardly town, county and state politicians serve only their own self-interest in being re-elected, and do nothing to address this problem. And our young people, and others, continue to leave Long Island due to the lack of housing options.

What comes next? How about our neglected unity?
For me, like so many Americans, the last six months have been a whirlwind of emotions, as arguably the most historic election in our nation’s history built momentum, intensified and eventually reached a climax on election night. While I’m not here to share my opinion on the outcome, the big question facing every citizen and resident of our country is: What next?
It can be tempting to see the outcome of the election as the ultimate refutation of the left — proof that Americans have rejected progressive values and policies and have wholeheartedly embraced modern Trumpist conservatism. While there may be some truth to this, I believe that what the result ultimately showed was that Americans are afraid. Afraid of economic disaster, afraid of global conflict, afraid of violence at home. These are reasonable fears. Even for the many Americans who lived through the final throes of the Cold War or watched the twin towers fall on Sept. 11,
2001, our country has never seemed more like a powder keg ready to explode.
Which is why, now more than ever, we need to come together not just as liberals and conservatives, but as Americans. The United States has always been strongest when we’ve been united, and our darkest moments come when we turn on one another and lay blame at our neighbors’ doorsteps.
As Abraham Lincoln famously said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand,” and those words are as true today as they were 166 years ago.
everything from political rivals being forced to work together in government — such as when Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson collaborated to create our financial system while simultaneously establishing Washington, D.C., as the nation’s capital — to having uncomfortable Thanksgiving dinners with relatives who have radically different political values.
m y dad will never forget the kind strangers far from home after the 9/11 attacks.
While conservatives may claim, rightly or wrongly, that progressives are softhearted dopes who focus on issues that don’t matter to real Americans, progressives may claim, rightly or wrongly, that conservatives are coldhearted dopes who focus on issues that don’t matter to real Americans. Perspective is everything, and trying to work together and understand not only what our differences are, but also why they exist, is the quintessential heart of the American experiment.
The intersection of our political and social culture has always been an uneasy compromise. This extends to

Not giving in to ‘our season of despair’
To the Editor:
I hope that Nov. 5, 2024, is not a date that will live in infamy, but I must express my justifiable concerns. I don’t fear the boogeyman in the closet. I fear a reality that may occur.
Hello, America: This is the time to say, “Oops, shoulda not done that.” This may be the season of our regret and despair. At the risk of sounding Cassandra-like, I fear for our democratic nation, I fear for our personal safety and I fear for our future.
Let’s start with our new leader, Donald Trump, awaiting sentencing on his criminal charges. How will the judicial system honor the decisions of the jurors? What will he do in the cases of the Capitol rioters? He could grant all or some of them pardons. What actions might he take on his first day in office? Which programs will he sign into law?
At risk are female reproductive rights, tariffs that could possibly raise the price of marketplace goods, more laws against vulnerable and targeted populations and the empowering of those who promote false science and other highly dubious theo-
ries. Many of us are concerned about what could happen to our health care and Social Security benefits. Will they change, possibly with decreases that will seriously impact an aging population? And, of course, there is the issue of border security, with its parallel implications of a ready labor market.
Like many of my fellow citizens, I hope that President-elect Trump doesn’t violate long-held democratic traditions and implement authoritarian governance.
I am worried about him using his platform to praise authoritarian leaders while demeaning our democratic allies. I am also concerned about him using pejorative and threatening language with his perceived enemies.
We who feel abandoned and in despair must stand strong, and must continue to make our voices heard through democratic means and processes. We must persist in speaking for the disenfranchised, so the liberties we have known and hope to preserve for future generations are not deserted and forgotten. This is our America — let us continue to carry the torch illuminating a better life for all, and not give in to our season of despair.
The idea that people who disagree politically could do so without resorting to violence is what separated our country from nearly all others when we declared our independence. It is one of the most sacred responsibilities that we as Americans must honor and hold dear, or risk losing the dream of a more just, more equitable society as envisioned by our Founding Fathers.
So while it’s easy to feel emotional following this election, remember that we need to heal the nation’s wounds, not worsen them. Think next time before you gloat to a “libtard” about winning the election — or calling every conservative voter you know a fascist. Are you really saying it because you believe it, or because emotions are running high and you feel like you need to show the
world how strongly you hold your beliefs?
In the days after the Sept. 11 attacks, my father was in California, desperately trying to get back home to my family. With all flights grounded, he and a friend rented a car and tried to make a cross-country drive.
Running on fumes on a remote stretch of highway, they came to a gas station that, unfortunately, was out of business. Stranded and worried about their loved ones, my dad and his friend were lucky enough to be found by some locals in a pickup truck. The saviors had a spare five-gallon tank of gas for the dirt bikes in the bed of the truck.
My dad always talked about how, while thanking them, he explained how and his friend were New Yorkers trying to get home to their families. Without missing a beat, one of the men responded, “We’re all New Yorkers today.”
That is what makes America great, not rhetoric or political stunts or moral grandstanding. And that is what we need to keep hold of in the aftermath of this election: that no matter what, we are all Americans, and that we’re all stronger when we work together.

Two female canines who served in war
As we commemorate Veterans Day this week, it is important to remember the brave war dogs who risked their lives to carry out dangerous tasks for their human comrades. While most famous military dogs have been male, here are the stories of two heroic female dogs who served in pivotal roles:
Civil War Dog: Sallie
Sallie, a Staffordshire mix, is immortalized with a monument at Gettysburg. At just four weeks old, she was given to Lieutenant William Terry of the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry. Sallie grew up with the soldiers, marching alongside them and learning drum rolls and bugle calls as the official mascot of the regiment. She also nursed four litters of puppies during the Civil War.
From 1862 to 1865, Sallie accompanied her unit into major battles, including Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. She recognized her soldiers both in and out of uniform and would often stand over the fallen, guarding the wounded and dead. During the Battle of Gettysburg, her regiment was forced to retreat, leaving her behind. Three days later, they found Sallie standing guard over her fallen comrades.
Sallie survived a gunshot wound to the neck at Spotsylvania in 1864, but was mortally wounded during the Battle of Hatcher's Run in February 1865. Her soldiers buried her on the battlefield, but when they moved out, they discovered her hidden puppies. The soldiers gave the pups to civilians to continue her bloodline. In 1890, survivors of the regiment commissioned a monument at Gettysburg, featuring a marble statue of Sallie at the feet of the soldiers she faithfully served.

met British aircraftsman Frank Williams, and the two became inseparable.
When the prisoners were transferred in 1944, Williams smuggled Judy aboard a ship in a rice sack. That vessel was also torpedoed, and Williams feared she had drowned. However, Judy reappeared at a subsequent POW camp, surviving lice outbreaks and even an alligator attack. Her loyalty and courage kept the prisoners' spirits high, and Williams fought to survive to protect her.
After the war, Judy returned to Britain with Williams, though she
World War II Dog: Judy Judy, a liver-and-white Pointer, is the only dog officially recognized as a prisoner of war during World War II. Born in Shanghai in 1937, she became the mascot for several British Navy ships. When the HMS Grasshopper was torpedoed, Judy and the crew swam to safety on a deserted Pacific island.
Once captured by the Japanese, Judy spent three years as a POW. She helped alert fellow prisoners to scorpions and snakes, and defended them from enemy guards. Facing starvation, she
had to endure six months in quarantine. The pair visited the families of fallen prisoners, and in 1946, Judy was awarded the Dickin Medal for her bravery. The citation read: "For magnificent courage and endurance in Japanese prison camps, which helped to maintain morale among her fellow prisoners and also saving many lives through her intelligence and watchfulness."
Judy died in 1950, at the age of 13, while stationed in Tanzania with Williams. Her incredible story was immortalized in books and a movie, and she remains a symbol of resilience and courage.
