The Port Jefferson Frigate became the center of a controversy over a pro-Donald Trump sign last weekend that read ‘In Trump we trust.’

By Alex PeTroskI alex@tbrnewspapers.com A decades-old Port Jefferson Village candy and ice cream store became the subject of a heated political debate over the weekend, after the business owner hung a large sign reading “In Trump we trust” from the building’s façade in anticipation of President Donald Trump’s (R) inauguration Jan. 20.

The Port Jefferson Frigate, also called Roger’s Frigate, is owned by George Wallis and has been a staple in the Port Jeff community for generations. Wallis authorized for the banner to be hung at his business Jan. 20 as a sign of support for the incoming president on Inauguration Day, according to Roger Rutherford, the general manager of the business who also maintains the property. Rutherford, who has worked at the Frigate for 20 years, said in a phone interview that Wallis declined to comment on the banner, but authorized Rutherford to comment on his behalf.

After a weekend of expressions of support and opposition from the community by phone and in the store, according to Rutherford, the banner was no longer visible as of the morning of Jan. 23. Rutherford said Wallis had planned all along to remove the banner after the weekend, despite a statement by email from Barbara Sakovich, a representative from Village Mayor Margot Garant’s office, which said an “order to remedy” was sent to the business Jan. 20 because the banner was in violation of section 250-31D(2)(iv) of the village code. Rutherford also called responses to the banner from the community “overwhelmingly positive.”

Rutherford said he and Wallis didn’t believe the code prohibited the banner, and opposition to its positioning could be attributed to an effort to target Wallis based on his political beliefs.

“Throughout the election I can drive around this entire village and see signs for presidential candidates, senators, local government — and that’s completely okay,” he said. “I think it’s targeting Mr. Wallis for his political views. I think we have a little bit of a double standard here.”

Garant, who said the phone was “ringing

off the hook,” with complaints at village hall over the course of the weekend, addressed the claim the violation was issued because of the political message of the sign.

“We wrote the violation based on our code,” she said in an interview. “We try and get anybody — resident, commercial business owner, commercial property owner — to comply with the code. Putting up a sign like that knowing that it’s not going to comply with the code, the village did its job. I stand behind the village for writing the violation based on the material, the size and the way the sign was hung.”

Garant said the sign was removed in a timely manner and no further action would be required.

Rutherford added he and Wallis hope Trump “could successfully move the country forward,” and that the Inauguration Day should have been a time for the country to come together towards reaching common goals.

“It was up there in a congratulatory way,” Rutherford said of the banner.

A Facebook page was set up over the weekend calling for the community to boycott the establishment, and as of Monday morning the page had been liked by 88 people. After reaching out to the creator of the page for a comment, the page was deleted. It is not clear who was responsible for creating it. Rutherford said he and Wallis had a busy weekend business-wise, so they didn’t have a chance to see any social media response to the banner, nor did he feel the business felt any effects from the calls for a boycott. Garant said she encouraged the creator of the page to take it down.

“We’re really not concerned about it at all,” Rutherford said of the possible impact the political statement might have on business.

Another page was created Jan. 22 in support of the business.

“This page is solely intended to support the PJ Frigate and their right to political freedom without fear of repercussions, which is an American right and freedom,” a post on the page said.

A sign in support of Trump also hung from the building in the days leading up to the election, and Rutherford said the response was similarly mixed at that time.

Hundreds flock to Port Jeff Station for Women’s March

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com While millions across the globe took part in the Women’s March on Washington, and other sister marches Jan. 21, hundreds met on the corner of Route 347 and Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station to make their voices heard.

“The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized and threatened many of us — immigrants of all statuses, Muslims and those of diverse religious faiths, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, black and brown people, people with disabilities, survivors of sexual assault — and our communities are hurting and scared,” the Women’s March website, established to organize the marches, said in its mission statement.

Community members who attended the event from across the North Shore reiterated many of those concerns during the march in Port Jefferson Station, which according to the site was the only affiliated sister march on Long Island.

“Getting out here in unity and letting our voices be heard is crucial,” Port Jefferson resident Kathy Lahey said over a megaphone to those in attendance. Lahey said she was responsible for organizing the sister march, getting the word out and getting it officially recognized as an affiliate on the website. “We are all in this together.

Together we will fight for equality, for fairness and for justice. I wanted to say something today to make all of the anxiety, the anger and fear go away, but that’s not going to happen. It shouldn’t happen because times are rough and the current circumstances call for anxiety, anger and fear.”

Women, men and children of all ages, races and backgrounds were represented at the Women’s March on Washington. The march and affiliated marches were intentionally scheduled to be an immediate response to the inauguration Jan. 20 of President Donald Trump (R) as a means to combat what participants view as his alienating rhetoric during the campaign and since his election victory, as

well as to voice opposition to several policies on his agenda and nominations for his cabinet. Health care, equal rights, demanding the release of the president’s tax returns and immigration policy were among the topics most frequently referenced by signs and chants by attendees.

President Trump addressed the worldwide marches through his personal Twitter account.

“Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don’t always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views,” he said Jan. 22, though earlier he tweeted that if all present had gone out and voted they may have been heard sooner.

Many in attendance said they weren’t sure what to expect when they decided to attend, but were blown away by the unity and solidarity they felt upon arriving.

“My initial reaction when I pulled up was I burst into tears because I’m sad that we have to be here, but in the end I’m left feeling very empowered because even though the road to progress is a jagged road, in the end love will always win,” Daniela McKee of Setauket said. McKee said she is a teacher, and brought her own kids with her to experience the event. “I think it’s important that they learn from a very early age that they have to fight for what they believe in and for their rights and equality.”

Joyce Edward a resident of Jefferson Ferry, who is in her 90s, shared her reasons for marching.

“We’re going so far back, it’s sad,” she said. “I think it is important and I hope that maybe our Congress people will pay attention. I don’t think Mr. Trump will. He pays attention to one person: himself.”

Edward added that her deep concern for where the country is headed for her children and grandchildren inspired her to get out and participate.

She questioned if 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), who has been a vocal Trump supporter since he emerged as the Republican presidential candidate, would be an advocate for those unhappy with the president’s beliefs and

proposed policies.

“If he’s behind Trump then I’m not behind him,” Jeff Schroeder of Greenport also said of Zeldin. “It scares me that someone so far off from the ideologies of people I know is running our district.”

Zeldin addressed the march in an emailed statement through a spokeswoman.

“2017 presents new opportunities to improve our community, state and nation,” he said. “To move our country forward, unity amongst the American people is the most critical necessity. Ideological differences will always exist, but the pursuit of common ground must be the highest priority.

In Congress, I have always been and remain willing to work with absolutely anyone to find common ground on anything wherever and whenever possible.”

U.S. Sen. and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was among those marching in New York City.

“Thank you to all the New Yorkers, Americans and people in NY, Washington, and all over the world who laced up your shoes today,” he said in an email. “It was only the beginning.”

Several marchers said they were encouraged by the overwhelming support the large crowd provided for them.

“It’s so heartening that people realize that they can actually be involved in changing things in government,” Sherry Eckstein of Huntington said.

Allyson Matwey of Wading River expressed a similar sentiment.

“I did not know what to expect coming here today, and I’m just in awe that there’s men, women, children — all ages, all everything here today, and it’s amazing,” she said.

Mitchell Riggs of Middle Island attended the local march with two of his children, while his wife attended the New York City march.

“We just need to be heard — the frustration about what’s going on,” he said. “I have a daughter. I have a wife … it can’t get worse in my mind.”

While addressing the crowd, Lahey stressed the importance of seeing the march as the beginning of a movement,

“President Obama also said at his farewell speech that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged and come together to demand it,” she said.

“And here we are — hundreds, maybe thousands — standing together on a street corner in solidarity, a group of ordinary people getting involved, getting engaged, demanding that our servants do what we hired them to do. … Contact your representatives on a regular basis. … Let them know we are here, we are involved, we are engaged and we are not going away.”

Mount sinai Harbor

File photo by Desirée Keegan

Three hunters rescued from Mount Sinai Harbor Suffolk County police officers and firefighters from the Mount Sinai Fire Department rescued three hunters after their boat capsized in Mount Sinai Harbor the morning of Jan. 22.

James Knipe and his son, also named James, along with Kendrick Pisano, were duck hunting in a boat in Mount Sinai Harbor when their vessel took on water and overturned. After the three entered the water, they clung to the overturned boat and the elder Knipe, 47, called 911 on his cell phone.

Suffolk Police notified the United States Coast Guard and the Mount Sinai Fire Department. When 6th Precinct officers arrived on scene, they observed all three clinging to the overturned boat and holding onto life jackets.

Members of the Mount Sinai Fire Department launched an inflatable vessel and rescued the younger Knipe, 17, and Pisano, 16, from the water. Suffolk Police Marine Bureau Officers

John Castorf and Christopher DeFeo, aboard Marine November, pulled James Knipe from the water.

All three victims were brought to the boat ramp and transported to local hospitals for treatment of exposure and hypothermia. Pisano, of Miller Place, was taken to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson and the Knipes, of Middle Island, were transported to Stony Brook University Hospital.

Marine Bureau officers recovered and secured the vessel, the victims’ belongings and three shotguns from the harbor.

The water temperature at the time of the incident was approximately 45 degrees.

The Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau reminds boaters and hunters that New York state law requires that personal flotation devices be worn at all times on vessels less than 21 feet in length, from November 1 to May 1.

Brooklyn men stole debit card, pin from Mount Sinai mailbox Suffolk County Police Identity Theft Section detectives and the United States Postal Inspection Service today arrested two Brooklyn men for stealing financial information from a Mount Sinai resident’s mailbox.

Inspectors from The U.S. Postal Inspection Service received information regarding an identity theft ring operating throughout the East Coast, targeting victims in the Mount Sinai area. Postal inspectors were able to identify potential targets and contacted the Suffolk County Police Identity Theft Unit. Officials conducted joint surveillance in four locations. As a result of this investigation, two men, Kirby Cineas and Kareem Shepherd, both of Brooklyn, were arrested when the pair removed mail containing a debit card and pin number from a victim’s mailbox, Jan. 23 at approximately 1:15 p.m.

Cineas, 31, and Shepherd, 28, were charged with fourth–degree grand larceny and petit larceny. Shepherd was also charged

with five counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument for possessing multiple forged credit and debit cards.

Cineas and Shepherd were being held at the 6th Precinct and scheduled to be arraigned Jan. 24 at First District Court in Central Islip.

The investigation is ongoing.

PersPectives Participating in the tradition of a peaceful transition of power Your turn

BY LEE ZELDIN Our first president once said, “The peaceful transition of power is what will separate this country from every other country in the world.” George Washington’s words remain vitally important and true to this day. I was honored and privileged to sit on the podium to witness history as the outgoing 44th president of the United States handed off his title and position to the incoming 45th president of our great nation.

I was very pleased that so many 1st Congressional District residents made the trip to the Capitol to participate in this time honored tradition. Inauguration Day of a new president is a celebration of freedom and liberty, much more than a celebration

of a political victory. For that reason, I was deeply disappointed that dozens of members of Congress opted to boycott the ceremony altogether. My message to them is that you do not have to celebrate President Trump’s election in order to participate in this transfer of power, especially when their followers, as well as the rest of the world, are watching.

While the 2016 election cycle was dramatic and polarizing, we must unite as Americans to find common ground wherever possible. There will always be differences which separate us, whether they are ideological or geographical, but we must remember that we are all Americans. If we are to make progress, we must work to find unity however we can for the benefit of our nation. A new year, new president and new Congress provides limitless opportunities to move our country forward in a better direction. As leaders, we have dedicated ourselves to pursuing a better course for our nation, and we should give President Trump a chance to succeed and work with him wherever there are mutual goals to be achieved on behalf of our fellow citizens.

Inauguration Day 2017 was the first presidential inauguration that I have experienced in person and it will be a memory to last a lifetime, because leaders of all stripes were on that stage together to celebrate everything that makes our nation the greatest nation in the world.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) represents the 1st Congressional District. In Congress, Rep. Zeldin serves on two House committees: financial services and foreign affairs.

Superintendents speak out against Trump’s secretary of education nominee

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Many North Shore superintendents and educators are concerned with President Donald Trump’s (R) nominee for secretary of education: Betsy DeVos, chairman of The Windquest Group, a privately-held investment and management firm based in Michigan, to serve as secretary of education. According to her website, the Michigan resident has a history in politics spanning more than 35 years.

She was elected as chairman of the Michigan Republican Party four times, and worked in a leadership capacity for campaigns, party organizations and political action committees, her website states.

DeVos went before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions for a confirmation hearing Jan. 17.

“I share President-elect Trump’s view that it’s time to shift the debate from what the system thinks is best for kids to what moms and dads want, expect and deserve,” DeVos said during her opening remarks at the hearing. “Why, in 2017, are we still questioning parents’ ability to exercise educational choice for their children? I am a firm believer that parents should be empowered to choose the learning environment that’s best for their individual children. The vast majority of students in this country will continue to attend public schools. If confirmed, I will be a strong advocate for great public schools. But, if a school is troubled, or unsafe, or not a good fit for a child — perhaps they have a special

need that is going unmet — we should support a parent’s right to enroll their child in a high-quality alternative.”

DeVos’ views on public education created a stir around the country, and superintendents from the North Shore and county as a whole joined the chorus of those skeptical about the direction she might take the country’s education system.

“I have devoted my entire adult life to public education and believe it is the bedrock of our democracy,” Port Jefferson school district Superintendent Paul Casciano said in an email. “Any programs and initiatives that attempt to weaken public education by diverting funds away from it or that offer alternatives that are not subjected to the same strict standards and scrutiny that public schools must live by, do not have my support.”

Kings Park Superintendent Tim Eagen echoed many of Casciano’s concerns.

“I find President Trump’s nomination for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, to be unacceptable,” he said in an email. “Education in this country is at an important crossroads. As an educational leader and parent of two public school students, it is my goal to provide our children with a globally competitive, rigorous, relevant and challenging education that will prepare them to be active, contributing members of society.”

Eagen also has concerns about DeVos’ qualifications.

“I believe that Betsy DeVos is unqualified to run the U.S. Department of Educa-

tion,” he said. “She is a businesswoman and politician without any experience in public service or public education. She does not have an education degree, has no teaching experience, has no experience working in a school environment, never attended public

school or a state university, and did not send her own four children to public school.”

The Miller Place school district’s administration and board of education drafted and passed a resolution opposing DeVos’ appointment. Superintendent Marianne Higuera addressed the appointment in an open letter on the district’s website.

“Our concerns are twofold,” she said.

“The first reservation we have is regarding the candidate’s lack of first-hand experience as an educator or administrator within the public school system. Since the majority of the children in the United States are currently being educated within the public school system, we feel that this experience is very important for an effective Secretary of Education.”

Higuera elaborated on her other issues with DeVos. “Her record also shows a clear bias towards private, parochial and charter schools and the use of vouchers to attend these schools,” Higuera said. “This bias leads us to our second overarching concern with Betsy DeVos as a candidate for Secretary of Education. The concern is that Betsy DeVos has been a strong advocate for the use of public funds to attend private schools through vouchers, and this would have a direct negative impact on our public school system’s fiscal stability if it is put into effect on a national level.”

The committee will vote to either approve or deny DeVos’ nomination Jan. 31.

Port Jeff railroad station project gets ‘jump start’ money from county

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) stopped by Port Jefferson Station Jan. 19 to drop off a very generous gift. As part of the county’s Jumpstart program, an initiative established to fund infrastructure improvements for transit-oriented areas, Bellone presented a check for $250,000 to Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant for renovations slated for the Port Jefferson Long Island Rail Road station.

“We have to make our region more attractive [to young people],” Bellone said in an interview. “If we’re going to bring young people back to this region, we have to deliver the things that they need and want.”

The plan for the Jumpstart money is to redevelop parking lots around the train station to increase spots and improve safety in the area. To receive the actual grant money the village must first spend $250,000 on the project before receiving a full reimbursement, according to Nicole Christian who is responsible for writing and obtaining grants for the village. Port Jefferson Village is also in the process of an urban renewal project that would address vacant and blighted buildings on Main Street in Port Jefferson Station. Both projects are part of Garant and the village’s master plan to revitalize upper Port Jefferson and turn it into a more appealing “gateway” for the harborfront village.

“We’re working with all of these different agencies — largely state agencies — but to have the county executive and the county behind us giving us this kind of money, they’re investing in what we’re doing here,” Garant said in an interview.

“They see the big picture and I think that’s one of the things that made Steve a little unique in his role as county executive.

He’s done this before in other areas and he knows what needs to be done. This isn’t a lot of money coming from the county level, but it’s a lot. Every little bit helps us. Just getting this is extremely important.”

Bellone commended Garant for her leadership and vision in Port Jefferson Station.

“I think, clearly this is a model and every time you see a project like this it is [the] local leadership driving it forward that is indispensible to making it happen and making it a success,” he said. “Local leadership is indispensible and partnerships between differ-

Fifth District Leg. Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) also praised Garant’s dedication to the revitalization of Port Jefferson Station.

“She’s been working a long time to make this happen,” Hahn said. “To have the dedication and commitment to work on a project for the amount of time and to keep at it, to see it through to now at a point where things are going up, things are getting built, we’re breaking ground on the whole vision and it takes someone special

to see something through to the end.”

Hahn said she is also excited for the progress being made within her district.

“I think it’s critically important the county is investing in these types of projects, especially a transit-oriented development where we are focusing our redevelopment in an area that has access to public transportation, that makes much needed housing available for the university one stop away, that supports economic development on a number of levels,” she said.

Garant said the plan is to put the project out for bid and to begin work in the coming months.

My favorite moments from the presidential inauguration weekend

By JAMes Moore I went to the 2017 presidential inauguration as an alumnus of the Junior National Young Leadership Conference. I was excited to be involved in a significant part of history.

However, the swearing in ceremony wasn’t the only highlight of my five-day experience.

On my second and fourth day in Washington, D.C. I had the chance to witness speakers such as Paul Begala from CNN, Tucker Carlson from Fox News, Pakistani diplomat Ziauddin Yousafzai, Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, General Colin Powell, actor and director Spike Lee and retired Olympic soccer player Abby Wambach at Eagle Bank Arena. The speeches I listened to were very diverse; some were entertaining, others were comical and all were inspirational.

Before my trip I had been looking forward to Malala’s speech the most, having heard her story. But the one that drew me in the most — even though they were all great — was her father’s speech about how throughout his childhood he realized how fortunate he was to get an education. His sisters were not as lucky. He decided no matter what, he was going to make sure his daughter pursued her education as well.

Not only did this set a perfect foundation for his daughter’s speech, but it showed just how much he cares for his daughter and be-

lieves in the rights of girls and women.

I also really enjoyed Abby Wambach’s speech because she strongly emphasized teamwork and the ability to work toward common goals together. My biggest takeaway from her was I need to take responsibility for my actions, no matter what they are. As some people may know, she was arrested for driving under the influence last year and was deeply disappointed in herself. On Facebook she posted “I take full responsibility for my actions. This is all on me. I promise that I will do whatever it takes to ensure that my horrible mistake is never repeated.” This will leave a lasting impression on me to ensure I don’t make these types of mistakes in the future — but in the off chance I do slip up once — I plan to take full responsibility just like Wombach did, as well as encourage others to take accountability for their actions.

The inauguration Friday was jam-packed and required us to be up by 4 a.m. at the latest. We had to walk about 1.5 miles from where our buses were parked in order to go around the Washington Monument and take a break at the Smithsonian Institution. Then, there was the walk to the National Mall. We all enjoyed sitting on our emergency ponchos and watching the guards on surrounding buildings do hand motions. Once the monitors turned on that was the center of attention for the next hour and a half. It was a unique

James Moore smiles before he attends one of the many speeches given during inauguration weekend. experience to know that the world was watching the same thing that was only steps away from where I was. For those few moments history was being made and in a small way I was part of it.

Following the inauguration ceremony we, as a group, focused on how our generation will impact the future. We were split into delegation groups by topics and my group was focused on health care, disease and the world of tomorrow. There was a scholarship competition, and although I can’t say I won, I did have a group of friends that managed to get

to the finals with a presentation based on how we can improve the health care conditions for the lower and middle classes. I had a lot of fun working with this group of scholars and I’m proud to be able to say they’re my friends.

I managed to make friends from Florida, Virginia, Kentucky, North Dakota, Missouri and many more. We all hope to stay in touch and maybe even meet up at the next Inauguration!

James Moore is a sophomore at Ward Melville High School, who was invited to attend the Presidential Inauguration Leadership Summit.

This past weekend more than one million people gathered across the world to participate in the Women’s March, a grassroots movement organized by multiple independent coordinators. I am proud to have been one of those million or so.

As diverse as the crowds were at each sister march across the country so were the reasons each person marched. The mission of the Women’s March on Washington, to give its full title, was to stand up and protect the rights of every man, woman and child in the United States.

Their website states the rhetoric of the last election cycle alienated, insulted and demonized many groups including immigrants, Muslims and those of diverse religious faiths, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, people with disabilities, and survivors of sexual assault.

Make no mistake, this is a fact — and no, Kellyanne Conway, in no way is it an alternative fact. President Donald Trump (R) alienated many groups during the campaign season. Speeches and comments targeted Hispanics, the disabled, women and many more.

Trump’s own past words serve as verification of this fact with quotes like, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

So for those asking why marchers felt the need to protest, there should be no confusion: People felt the need to stand up, defend and support each other after the litany of comments made in 2016 and earlier by the president, and for others the promises and administration choices made since. This march was meant to show they are not alone, and we stand by them.

I marched to be an ally, but to also send a message to my government that my political consciousness is alive and well, and I will be watching and reacting to everything the new administration puts forward. This is not simply to make myself feel better when I air my grievances about the state of the country.

In early January, Republican members of Congress voted during a closed-door meeting to place the independent Office of Congressional Ethics under the control of those lawmakers. The proposal would have barred the panel from reviewing any violation of criminal law by members of Congress, and give the House Committee on Ethics the power to stop an investigation at any point.

Currently the ethics panel operates as an independent, nonpartisan entity. Although it was served as ethics reform, public outcry condemning the legislation caused lawmakers to pull the bill almost immediately.

The public in this act was informed of the workings of their government, reacted, and was able to turn the tide. This is what the Women’s March represents to me — the beginning of a greater level of awareness.

The day after the march, the organization released their next step in continuing to fight for the rights of all citizens:

10 Actions in 100 Days. Their first action is a letter-writing campaign to senators to keep the conversation going.

Various media reports are saying the Women’s March was the largest march in U.S. history.

Let’s look back at other significant marches. The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 saw more than 250,000 listen to the words of Martin Luther King Jr., demanding equality. The following year the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. The first major anti-Vietnam War protest with between 500,000 and 600,00 people was held in 1969. Several more rallies, marches and protests were planned after that and in 1973 America had officially ended its involvement.

Of course these marches are not the sole reason change took place. But they were certainly part of a domino effect.

The People’s Climate Change March in 2014 was the largest climate-change march in history, and although most scientists would agree we still have a long way to go, the Paris Agreement of 2015 marked a historic turning point for dealing with the world’s emission of greenhouse gases.

Anyone who felt inspired and enthused by the marches across the globe last Saturday shouldn’t just sit back to reflect. Continue to be informed and voice opinions, because it matters. Former President Barack Obama (D) said, “If you’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself,” during his farewell address.

For all the participants, you were a part of one of the largest nonviolent protests in history — with zero arrests in Washington, D.C., and New York City, the marches with the most numbers. Be proud of your involvement, stay informed and do not stop letting your voice be heard.

36 nominated for service academies from New York 1st CD Photo from Congressman Zeldin’s office

Twenty-nine of the 36 congressional nominees for the U.S. service academies from the 1st Congressional District.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) hosted a reception in Patchogue Jan. 13 to announce, recognize and congratulate the 36 Long Islanders he has nominated to United States service academies this year.

Selection was based on specific criteria including academic achievement, leader-

ship potential, demonstration of character and participation in extracurricular activities. Among the nominees is Daniel Pryor of Port Jefferson Station, heading to the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, and several other North Shore residents.

Zeldin said he is proud to congratulate

the nominees and their families.

“I hope [they] will take full advantage of all the academies have to offer, and that they will prove to be the best of the best of their generation,” he said at the reception.

Members of Congress may nominate candidates for appointment to four of the

five U.S. service academies: U.S. Military Academy, West Point; U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis; U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs; and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point. The fifth, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, New London, does not require congressional nomination.

History The peaceful transition of power

By Rich AcRitelli

©153571

“Your success is now our country’s success.”

George H.W. Bush (R) who lost a hotly contested election to Bill Clinton (D) in 1992, passed on this message to the incoming president. Bush lost a difficult campaign to Clinton, but wanted a smooth transition of power to the newly elected leader. Both men were opponents who were completely opposite from each other. Bush was a fighter pilot who flew off aircraft carriers in the Pacific during World War II, and Clinton was decisively against the United States involvement during the Vietnam War. Bush was a conservative president and vice president living in Texas who served under Ronald Reagan (R) for eight years, and Clinton was a liberal governor from Arkansas. While their political views often clashed, since both men left office, they have grown to become good friends. These one-time executive adversaries are immensely close, and Clinton now regards Bush’s wife, Barbara, as a second mother.

Little-known Vice President Harry S. Truman (D) from Missouri gained power after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) April 12, 1945. Right away Truman felt the immense burden of responsibility after learning about the tragic death of Roosevelt. When he asked the late president’s wife, Eleanor, what he could do to help her family, she asked, “Is there anything we can do for you? For you are the one in trouble now.”

Truman presided over the end of World War II, the start of the Cold War, a fledgling postwar economy, and a difficult re-election against New York Gov. Thomas Dewey (R).

Although Truman is remembered as an extremely capable president, he had the difficulties of serving after the trusted four-term leadership of Roosevelt and the “General of the Armies” Dwight D. Eisenhower (R).

During World War II, Eisenhower was rapidly promoted and given an immense amount of authority by Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Marshall, a highly regarded officer who became the architect of victory against Hitler in Europe. Outside of attaining a stellar record in the Army, Eisenhower’s only key blemish was his World War II affair with his driver Kay Summersby. After the war, he approached Marshall about the desire to divorce his wife and bring back his love interest to the U.S. Marshall took a heavy interest within Eisenhower’s career and he was seen as a second father to the future president. When the disciplinarianminded Marshall learned that Eisenhower wanted to send for Summersby, he told his subordinate that he would run him “out of the Army” and make it impossible for him ever to “draw a peaceful breath.”

Marshall later wrote a scathing report about Eisenhower’s infidelities that was destroyed by Truman before he left office.

Although Eisenhower and Truman did not have a warm relationship, Eisenhower stressed to Truman he could not believe how relentless the media was about his relationship with Summersby. Truman bluntly responded that if these were the only attacks against him by reporters, Eisenhower was immensely fortunate. Before he left office, Truman told the new leader he did not shred Marshall’s letter about Summersby to

Donald trump was sworn in as president of the United States Jan. 20. personally protect Eisenhower. His outgoing priority was to preserve the honor of the executive branch and its new leader, President-elect Eisenhower.

Currently, some of the cabinet nominations of President-elect Donald Trump (R) are facing scrutiny by Congress. Many previous presidents have endured political obstacles during this process. Clinton found it a chore to fulfill the attorney general position, as the first two candidates withdrew from being considered. George H.W. Bush watched as John Tower, his pick for secretary of defense in 1989 was not approved for the job. Personal allegations apart, the U.S. Senate did not like Tower’s connections to the national defense industry because they said it was a conflict of interest that could not be overlooked. It was the first time in 30 years the Senate refused to confirm a presidential cabinet appointment.

In 1980, Reagan faced scrutiny over Jackie Presser, later president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, who was believed to have ties to organized crime. Presser was a labor adviser to Reagan’s transitional team, and the Democrats were outraged by possible connections of corruption. The choice of Jimmy Carter (D) for the Central Intelligence Agency, Theodore Sorensen, withdrew his own name in 1977 due to the onslaught of resentment waged against the former World War II conscientious objector. Many members of the intelligence and military communities were concerned that he was too much of an outsider who wanted to reform the CIA’s overall mission of gathering vital information during the height of the Cold War. Historically speaking, the time between the election and inauguration, a period of uncertainty, has impacted every leader since the days of George Washington.

These triumphs and failures are realistic issues that must be accepted by our leaders before they enter the Oval Office. This was no different for Trump when he was sworn in Jan. 20 in front of the nation by Chief Justice John Roberts during an inauguration that was watched by the world.

Clockwise from left, Port Jefferson and Comsewogue wrestlers compete during the Bob armstrong tournament.

Royals crown two grapplers at Armstrong tourney

By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com The big guns brought it home for Mount Sinai.

John Parente won by a major decision, 120, at 195 pounds, and Bobby Christ edged his opponent, 4-3, in the finals to propel Mount Sinai to a second-place finish behind Half Hollow Hills West at the Bob Armstrong wrestling tournament at Port Jefferson Jan. 21.

“I told them if you want to wrestle in the county tournament this is the last time to show us what you’ve got,” Mount Sinai head coach Matt Armstrong, who is also Bob’s son, said he told his team. “A freshman that just came up, Adam Shata, had a big win at 160 pound with a solid pin, so we have some freshmen that are really stepping up.”

Jahvan Brown at 138 pounds and Neil Esposito at 145 pounds, made some noise and, according to Armstrong, are wrestling well for this time of year despite their inexperience.

Although neither made it to the finals, four other Mustangs did. The team had nine place in total.

Northport finished with 168 points, just behind Mount Sinai, which finished with 174.

Unlike the Mustangs, the Tigers brought it home in the finals, as all three representing the blue-and-gold took home tournament titles.

“We’re turning it around here toward the end of the season,” Northport head coach Robert Alberti said. Seven of his other wrestlers placed.

Junior Jake Borland, a 113-pounder, is currently ranked sixth in the county in his weight class. He topped Mount Sinai’s Matt Campo, 9-2, who is a returning county champion.

Borland placed third in the Armstrong tournament last year, and brought his A-game this time around. He won his first match with

a pin, and the next two by technical falls.

At 132 pounds, junior Chris Esposito clinched the championship title with a 9-2 decision over Ward Melville’s Rafael Lievano, who is currently ranked third in the county. Esposito beat his opponent last weekend as well.

He was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler after recording the most pins in the least amount of time. He pinned his first opponent in 20 seconds, his second in 59 and his third in 1:30, before sizing up his final foe. He said he came into the match knowing what he needed to do, and he wanted to prove that his win last weekend wasn’t a fluke.

Billy Shaw was the final champion for Northport, who won 6-5 over Mount Sinai’s Joe Goodrich at 152 pounds. It was the grappler’s first tournament win.

Ward Melville finished fourth with 136 points. In a unique and rare scenario, Kenny Cracchiola beat teammate Richie Munoz by a technical fall, 16-0.

“We came out pretty strong,” Ward Melville head Garry Schnettler — Vin Miceli coach said. “I thought as a whole, the kids wrestled tough. We had a lot of tough matches right off the bat, and they wrestled their butts off from start to finish.”

Schnettler said he was happy with his team’s overall performance, but he continues to be impressed by Cracchiola.

“He’s a monster this year,” the head coach said of his senior. “He wants to make an impact and he’s really done it. He’s beaten some really good guys and overall, matchup-to-matchup, he continues to be a dominant wrestler.”

Cracchiola went 4-0 on the day, winning three of his matches by technical falls and the other by a pin.

Port Jefferson followed in fifth place with 126.5 points, and sent seven to the podium.

Vin Miceli edged Centereach’s Luis Fer-

nandez, 6-4, and was named the Champion of Champions. He had two pins as he battled his way through the bracket.

He said he focused to be able to bring home the gold.

“Even before I step on the mat I’m always focused on wrestling, nothing else distracts me,” he said. “I put in a lot of work in the off-season, so it really shows how much you can get out of the work you put in.”

Joey Evangelista edged Half Hollow Hills West’s Joe Costa, 3-0, for his title at 145 pounds. He pinned his first three opponents, but said his finals match was tough.

“My coaches have preached mentality is everything, so I’ve been working on strengthening that,” he said.

According to head coach Mike Maletta, the junior has been a finalist in every tournament this season, and won two.

“As long as they both stay aggressive and take smart shots and pushing the pace, they’re going to be real successful in three weeks when they’re up in Albany,” Maletta said of the possibility of the Royals competing for state titles. “The excitement is that some guys are starting to exceed expectations.”

Centereach finished in seventh with 93 points. Jett Tancsik outscored his Half Hollow Hills West opponent 9-4, for the 160-pound championship title.

Centereach head coach Ray Bruno said he was pleased with his team’s performance. He said the tournament is a good tune up to get ready for the Cougars’ matches in the League III tournament.

Rounding out the scorers in the top 9 were No. 8 Harborfields with 88 points, and Comsewogue with 39.

According to Matt Armstrong, his father coached at Port Jefferson from 1969 to 1990, where they were league champions for eight years and won the New York State championship cup in 1986.

“They had some very successful teams here at the time,” he said. “It’s great to come back here as I see a lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time. Many of the kid’s parents wrestled for my dad. This is probably the 10th year for this tournament and I appreciate them doing it keeping my dad’s memory alive, it’s Mike Maletta who keeps it going, and he does a great job.”

Marchers make their voices heard Photos above by Alison Perry; photos right and below by Alex Petroski

Port Jefferson Station played host to its own Women’s March Jan. 21 to oppose the inflammatory rhetoric of President Donald Trump (R) and some of his proposed policies. Those who couldn’t make it to Washington, D.C., or New York City met at the corner of Route 347 and Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station to peacefully voice their displeasure with what they’ve heard from the new administration.

Letters to the editor

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin on election night after his and Donald Trump’s big victories.

A letter to U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin Stock photo

Responsibility beyond our ballots Do you suppose the Founding Fathers intended democracy to be a spectator sport, or did they envision a country filled with informed citizens willing to actively participate in a representative government?

Whatever their intent, we have come to a point in our history when it behooves us to speak up. We must let our voices be heard — not just when we cast our votes on Election Day — but whenever we need to let our representatives know what we think about proposed legislation or policy initiatives or nominations for important positions.

Politicians need to be told what’s important to us. Especially the “deal-breaker” issues about which we feel there can be no leeway.

Call our Congress members. Whether we voted for them or not, they are still our spokesperson in the House of Representatives. Call our senators. If we agree or disagree with them, they need to be told. We can call politicians in states other than New York and share our pride in their stance on an issue, or our dismay. Call our governor. Andrew Cuomo (D) needs to know if we think he’s on the right track. Giving our names and ZIP codes will create logged calls, registering our opinions. And if enough of us express a particular view, it will, hopefully, affect a decision.

Everyone needs to realize that voting is not just a right — it’s a responsibility. Some say if we don’t vote we forfeit our right to complain.

Well we believe in taking that philosophy one step further. Our responsibility doesn’t end when our ballots are cast. We need to remain involved in our American democracy to ensure that our country is the kind of place we want it to be.

Pay attention. Stay informed. Make those calls.

Let me first say that I continue to hope that President Trump brings back good paying jobs to the middle class.

And I hope you work with him to bring those jobs to Long Island, along with health care for everyone as Trump promised last week.

But in the president’s first full day in office, I am very disturbed by his blatant lies. Let’s just talk about the size of the inauguration audience. On Saturday he said, “Honestly it looked like a million and a half people,” while most reports are approximately 250,000. Trump doubled down with his press secretary Sean Spicer who continued this lie, stating, “The largest audience to ever witness an inauguration” and his spokeswoman Kellyanne

Conway, who later stated that Spicer was presenting “alternative facts.” To help propagate these lies, Trump ordered the National Park Service to stop reporting on the actual size of the audience.

The response to these lies was swift from the media – including Fox News. Here is Chris Wallace from Fox News Sunday: “OK, you talk about honesty and say that this was about honesty. Well, there’s another issue here, though, and that is the president’s honesty, because two things that he said yesterday were just flat wrong.” MerriamWebster Dictionary also tweeted to Conway that there are no alternatives to facts.

My great fear is that Trump is engaged in what can only

be labeled a “misinformation campaign” aimed at helping him alone be the “guardian of the truth.” This is exactly the type of totalitarian behavior our forefathers revolted against, and this is why we have a free press protected by the First Amendment to our constitution.

Trump’s blatant disregard for the truth and for the free press should be upsetting and threatening to every American. Where are you, our representative, Mr. Zeldin? Why are you not standing up against this misinformation and press-shaming? You are supposed to represent us, the people; and at the very least stand for truth.

Trump can’t compare to previous presidents In response to the writer of “Welcome to a legitimate President Trump” (Jan. 19) I beg to differ on quite a few counts.

I heard the voice of my dearly departed mother, who was extremely wise and politically savvy, while listening to every speech Trump gave and every ridiculous promise that he made. She always advised me to respect myself as a woman (and a human being) and to stand up for what I believe in.

Well Mr. Kerr and those who accept what you have written, I do not concede to the presidency of Donald Trump, nor will I ever.

You cannot possibly compare this farce to the presidencies of Kennedy, Carter, Nixon, Johnson or even Gerald Ford. Although all imperfect in their own ways, you can-

not compare their presidential legacies to the predetermined theme of the man who will be in office on Jan. 20. The man who denigrates women, instigates violence among protesters, dehumanizes immigrants, stomps on the Constitution (while not understanding a word of it) and plans to destroy every bit of progress made by the Obama administration, is not the man that I want running my country.

This alternate universe that we currently live in where cabinet choices are made by picking out of a hat and tweets are sent with the same cavalier attitude that ended his marriages, this is not a reality that I choose to accept.

Call me crazy, but it took long enough for one Cold War to end, and Putin is just salivating at the

thought of sharing the political stage with the Man with the Orange Skin.

And quoting Richard Nixon does not instill a “runs like a Swiss watch” feeling about the incoming administration.

Call a spade a spade: Trump is the least qualified, most horrific person that has ever been “elected” to the White House by our outdated, imperfect electoral process. Should he last through the next four years, I will be doing everything in my power to make sure there is a different outcome in 2020.

OpiniOn Signs of a protesting people

W

atch out, Madison Avenue!

People everywhere are gunning for your jobs.

Well, maybe people don’t want advertising and marketing jobs, but they do want to express themselves in ways guaranteed by the Constitution.

How could the Founding Fathers have known that the war with words, on words and of words would require an ability of people on both sides to understand that each of them has a right to speak?

The Women’s March, the day

By Daniel Dunaief after the inauguration, was a spectacle. People from around the nation, indeed the world, took considerable time to write, design and share signs about any and

D. None of the above

every issue important to them.

People are searching for the words to share their convictions.

One sign read, “Without Hermione, Harry would have died,” referring to the brilliant friend of Harry Potter whose smarts helped Harry survive despite numerous murderous attempts

by Voldemort.

Another sign suggested, “So bad, even introverts are here.”

The president’s hair, a subject for television discussion well before the commander in chief left for the White House, made it onto several signs, with “We shall overcomb,” offering one of many toupee moments.

Whether the Trump administration recognizes or addresses it, we are a nation divided and, no, that’s not a statement about the size of the crowd at the inauguration. Who cares? If not a single person attended the inauguration, do you know what we would be calling Donald Trump? President.

I understand that and so do all those people writing signs, discussing the future direction of the country

and arguing over the internet. I know Trump and his team seem disillusioned with the media. The president can’t stand the way he’s covered, but plenty of past presidents no doubt could relate to his discomfort.

Trump has tried to ostracize the media, going straight to the people with his creatively spelled Twitter messages.

One woman used Trump’s penchant for direct messages with a sign saying, “Tweet women with respect.”

Trump continues to make the argument about the number of people who voted for him. Can someone please tell him he won the election?

By walking side-by-side in marches, people aren’t sitting comfortably at home typing angry computer messages: They’re sharing their views and are traveling to see people “in real life.”

This is not — to borrow from Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” — “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” These are people sharing a message they hope others and, in particular, the administration, hears and understands.

Trump didn’t get to the White House propelled by the hopes of these sign makers. He won the votes of millions who believed in him.

He wants to make America great again. He and his voters have red hats to prove it. That’s great and maybe the sale of red hats will be sufficient to create more jobs, just as his office has increased the sale of poster boards, crayons, markers and block-lettering kits through these marches.

No doubt, Trump, his team and many other Americans will come up with great slogans and catchy one-liners to offset the marchers’ messages.

What will bring us together? Maybe there’ll be a moment similar to the one in the movie “Miracle,” which was about the improbable Olympics victory by the United States hockey team at Lake Placid in 1980. As these players bonded, they learned that they weren’t playing for their schools but, rather, were representing their country.

The Founding Fathers may have created a slogan that’s hard to top: We the People.

Words of wisdom for all generations

D

o you ever wish you had asked for advice about life from older members of the family or friends who have now passed away? I certainly do. Like an inheritance, advice that has withstood the test of time can make the life of the beneficiary easier. Hence the clever idea, by an assisted living community on Long Island, of producing a distributable calendar filled with some of the wisdom of its residents was immediately interBy Leah S. Dunaief esting to me. The Gurwin JewishFay J. Lindner Residences, located in Commack, collected the thoughts of one person or couple in the community for each month and named the project “From Generation to Generation 2017.”

As the calendar states in the introduction, “The advice contained in

Between you and me

these pages … is priceless, and made all the more meaningful because of the life experiences that season [the residents’] words of wisdom.”

The January advice comes from Gerald Burberry, who was sent to England on the Kindertransport — also known as Children’s Transport — during World War II and was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust. Gerald focuses on the beauty in life through the lens of his camera and is an enthusiastic nature photographer. He and his wife have visited as many U.S. National Parks as they could in pursuit of his goal to “appreciate nature.”

Janet Munday adorns February and urges everyone to “blaze new trails.”

She was a computer engineering major at Hofstra, one of few women at the time, and also played the bass guitar in a cover band and traveled to Italy just to learn Italian.

Others, like Helen and Mel Morgenstein, who are wedded 73 years, offer this advice to married couples: “Respect each other.” Mel adds, “Respect your differences, and have your own interests. It makes for a much

better life together.” Mary Falcone says, “Cherish family.” She has four daughters, 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, “They’re wonderful,” she declares and she sees them regularly. “Their heart is my heart.”

Florence Levenbaum, who is 91, loves to dance. She urges, “Keep moving and smile.” For her, movement and good humor are the keys to good health. She posed for her photo in the calendar carrying a Wilson wooden tennis racket over her shoulder.

Further advice includes “Pursue your passions” from Stewart Greene, a devoted lifetime sailor; “Keep learning” from Sandra Peltz, a former registrar at Hofstra who feels she learns from each new person she meets; and “Be independent” from Ruth Kaufman, who doesn’t worry about what others might think and say. “Use common sense!” urges Edwin Zola, who feels that people could find a way to end war and suffering if they would treat others as they would like to be treated, adding, “This just makes sense.” And Sidney Klein speaks proudly about serving one’s country, as he did during WWII.

to those younger than you? I asked that question of some of the newspaper staff, and here is what they offered.

“Live in the moment,” said one.

“And enjoy the moment.” Another counseled, “Don’t put it off,” whether a task, a career move or a relationship.

“Anticipate life’s many stages,” suggested another. “Be yourself, don’t be afraid to be who you really are rather than trying to please others,” is one piece of advice one mother had just shared with her daughter. Another mother offered, “Enjoy your childhood.

You are only a child once.” And how about this one for your children? “We were young once too!”

Some others included, “Work hard, play hard and include balance in your life,” “Be kind,” “Stick together with family,” “Hang around with happy people,” and this timely bit for today’s world, “Be entrepreneurial.”

You might ask what words I would offer the next generations. My advice: “Have courage.” Have the courage to be the person you want to be, to do the things you most wish to do, to go to the places you yearn to see, and to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
