Port Jefferson

New iconography at Greek Orthodox church showcases faith and artistry BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The figures painted on the walls and ceiling of the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption in Port Jefferson inevitably draw the eyes up, ever up, past the icons of saints and religious figures to the top of the dome several stories from the floor, up to Greek letters surrounding an image of Jesus looking directly down on the pews below. Religious images and iconography glow in the soft light, which streams down from the apex of the chapel, images that, having started more than a decade ago, have been finally finished after years of painstaking work. Between the scaffolding used by the artists who were finishing up their work, images of St. Haralambos, the Nativity of the Theotokos, the baptism and the entrance of the Virgin Mary all adorn the walls, painted on fabric that is adhered to the wall, the kind of sight those of the 6th century must have had on the walls of now-ancient Byzantine churches. High above the nave’s pews, only a few spots needed to be completed by Feb. 21: a handful of arches above the towering windows and the finishing of some icons. By the weekend, the chapel was completed. “I’m delighted to put on canvas the life of Christ and the saints, and it’s very enjoyable and rewarding,” said iconographer Dimitris Gkinos. He and most of the other painters, who work for the Greek iconography company, Alevizakis Icons, only speak a little English, but their words were translated by Father Demetrios “Jim” Calogredes, who has seen the iconography go up since he came to the church in 2009. The iconographers hired to finish the chapel’s

paintings are a mix of artists from all over, including the U.S. and Serbia, but mostly Greece. “I am from Serbia, and I wanted to become an artist and then an iconographer,” said Dragomir Djekic. “I finished college in Belgrade, Serbia — that’s the university in the capital city — then when I came to the United States, I found other iconographers and started to work.” The paintings that now adorn the walls and ceiling of the chapel have been in the works since 2002, when the old Greek Orthodox church on Sheep Pasture Road was replaced by the one currently standing. Calogredes said watching the whole project finally come together was long, but worth it in the end. The classic images that now surround the chapel walls are well known to the priest, who is able to read off the stories as if they came straight from the Bible. The priest said the chapel is based on the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, which was built by the Byzantine emperor, Justinian I, in the 6th century. That church now exists as a museum in Istanbul, but its re-creation in America is finally coming together with the finishing of the iconography. “I derive the greatest satisfaction depicting the icon of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child,” said iconographer Christos Palaioxaris, his words translated by Calogredes. “That icon is in the holy mountain in Greece, Mount Athos.” The work is part religiosity and art, a job that is at times monotonous in getting every detail of the icons right but, in other ways, soul touching. “Although it’s very tedious work, I derive satisfaction in putting up works of art that are immortal and will be present for many years,” Gkinos said. Additional photos of the church can be seen at tbrnewsmedia.com.

Comsewogue students perform random acts of kindness BY DENIZ YILDIRIM DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In February, students and teachers at Terryville Road Elementary school celebrated Kindness Week. Random acts of kindness and World Kindness Day are initiatives that highlight good deeds in the community and the people who strive toward building a kinder world. This noble idea is one that schools around the world celebrate. From character studies to research projects about human rights, teachers work with students to not only educate but also foster qualities of kindness to make it an ever-present part of their day. This year, Terryville’s Student Council had a clever theme for every day of its kindness week, such as Mind Your Manners Monday and Actions Speak Louder Than Words Wednesday. Additionally, Terryville paid special attention to kindness by doing something for those in need. The school gathered and donated over 15 boxes of food. This food was brought to the Comsewogue High School’s food pantry, which is open to struggling students and their families. “I know their efforts will fill bellies and warm hearts, but my favorite effect of this week is our newly adopted slogan, Kindness Is Free, Sprinkle That Stuff Everywhere,” Student Council adviser Gail Ports said. Top left photo: Ports and Student Council members showcase their work. Photo from Deniz Yildirim Deniz Yildirim is a library media specialist at Terryville Road Elementary School.

Obituary

Memorial service set for SBU philanthropist Erwin Staller The Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University is preparing to celebrate the life of Long Island real estate developer and philanthropist, Erwin Staller. A memorial service has been set for April 27 at the venue to remember the SBU benefactor who died Feb. 11, at age 97, at his Lloyd Harbor home. “Over the years, Erwin Staller’s commitment to the center and to the university was steadfast,” said Alan Inkles, director of the Staller Center. “He, along with his wife Pearl [affectionately called Freddie], his son Cary and the extended family, has been a true supporter of the arts and has been the foundation of the center’s success.” After his father’s death in 1987, Staller and his family donated the first seven-figure gift to SBU of $1.8 million. The donation resulted in the establishment of The Staller Center for the Arts in memory of his parents, Max and Mary Staller. The developer received the Stony Brook Medal for Extraordinary Service in 1989 and an honorary doctorate of humane letters at SBU in 2001. He also served on the Stony Brook Foundation board of trustees for more than 30 years and was founding chair of Stony Brook Foundation Realty.

“It was always a pleasure to have him and Freddie in the audience knowing how much he enjoyed all kinds of performances,” Inkles

said. “As a philanthropist, adviser and friend to the arts, the university and to the region, he will be greatly missed.” In a letter sent to SBU faculty after Staller’s passing, SBU President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr. said the initial donation of $1.8 million helped “create a foundation for the Staller’s legacy of philanthropy at Stony Brook University spanning 35 years.” Staller and his wife also funded Staller Scholars, which provides scholarships for graduate music students pursuing doctorates in the Department of Music. The university credits Staller for championing a project to have a campus hotel for more than 23 years until its fruition in 2013. As a result, the roadway between Hilton Garden Inn and the Administration building will be dedicated as Erwin P. Staller Way. Stanley said Staller, his wife, family and friends joined together in supporting the Staller Center’s mission, and to date they have contributed more than $16 million to fund various programs. “As we reflect on Erwin’s myriad contributions in time and treasure to benefit our students, faculty, staff and our community, though I will miss him dearly, I am inspired by Erwin Staller’s vision and focus, and in the

knowledge that his powerful legacy will live on at Stony Brook for generations to come,” Stanley said. Staller was raised in Hempstead where he graduated from Hempstead High School. He attended Allegheny College in Pennsylvania before enlisting in the U.S. Army and served in the Signal Corps during World War II. In 1946, Staller married Pearl Friedman, whom he had dated in high school, and the couple had five children. In the late 1950s, Staller and his father cofounded Hauppauge-based Staller Associates, and became among the first entrepreneurs to develop retail shopping centers on Long Island. A supermarket, drugstore and a U.S. Post Office anchored each of their early shopping centers. Together, the father-son duo developed numerous shopping centers, office and industrial buildings on Long Island and in Connecticut. Staller is survived by his wife, four children and their spouses, and nine grandchildren. The memorial service will be held April 27 at 1 p.m. The Staller Center is located at 100 Nicolls Road in Stony Brook.

Port Jefferson

Suffolk sheriff tells PJ students to “say something” about potential shootings BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM When Suffolk County Deputy Sheriff Brian Butler asked Port Jefferson High School students whether they felt safe in school, approximately half of the assembled ninth- to 12th-graders languidly raised their hands. The county sheriff’s office has been conducting violence prevention classes with districts called Say Something as part of the national nonprofit Sandy Hook Promise campaign to mitigate school shootings. The presentation that was made to Port Jefferson middle and high schoolers Feb. 26 asked students to learn the warning signs of a person who may commit a violent act in or out of school, and then tell a teacher, school official or another adult about it. “We’re not going to completely prevent a school shooting, but we can do a much better job,” Butler said. The deputy sheriff said one of the issues he has seen with kids being unwilling to come to adults with these comments is the aura of being called out as a “snitch.” “We live in this, ‘I don’t want to be a snitch’ culture,” he said. “That’s a prison term.” Butler said there were a number of warning signs students should look out for among their peers, including withdrawing from others, bullying, excessive anger, thoughts or plans of

Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. and his deputies spoke on what students should do about school shootings. Photo by Kyle Barr

harming one’s self or others or other significant personality changes. Though the most obvious sign is a social media post, which in past shootings, shooters have used to explicitly announce their intentions days before the tragedies. The department pointed to a recent event in Brentwood where Suffolk County police arrested a 16-year-old student Feb. 24 who allegedly posted a message on Snapchat saying he would be “shooting up the Brentwood Freshman Center” the following day. A student took a screen capture of the Snapchat message and sent it to officials, who arrested the young man on charges of making a terroristic threat.

While some could look at those warning signs and see a young person going through the normal emotional swings of becoming an adult, the deputies said the point of the presentation was to increase student’s awareness and to lighten the stigma of speaking up. “This is not a paranoia thing,” Deputy Sheriff Keith Hoffman said. Sandy Hook Promise was formed in part by parents of children involved in the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting in 2012, where a 20-year-old man fatally shot six adults and 20 elementary school children, all of whom were 7 years old or younger. The nonprofit announced

a partnership with the county sheriff’s office in August 2018. Since then, Butler said the department has been to more than 10 school districts and spoken in front of hundreds of children. While the sheriff deputies said the likelihood of a school shooting happening in Port Jefferson is slim, Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D) said the specter of the possibility hangs over students as they continue in school and even into higher education. “It may not happen here, but it might happen somewhere else you might be,” Toulon said. Still, many schools across Long Island have increased security measures. Port Jeff Superintendent Paul Casciano said the 2018-19 school budget included increases for the number of security staff, as well as funds for new security vestibules in both the elementary school and the combined high school and middle school building. These projects are currently awaiting review by New York State’s Department of Education and won’t likely be completed until this summer or later. Other districts have taken the step of hiring armed guards for their schools, such as Mount Sinai and Miller Place, but Casciano said the point when security becomes overwhelming for students is when “kids feel like they’re going into a prison.” “It’s a community decision,” he added.

LI Explorium and Stony Brook students test space suits for potato astronauts BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM How much force and space is needed to punch a hole in a modern space suit? NASA knows, but children at The Long Island Explorium in Port Jefferson got to test the integrity of space suits on their own astronauts, ones who came in the form of little brown potatoes. Stony Brook University and the explorium are hosting free monthly STEM clubs at the explorium buildings on Saturdays for the next few months. The first of these events was hosted by the Stony Brook Earth and Planetary Science Club showcasing a classic, NASA-approved project called the potato astronaut, which uses materials found at home to tell what will help stop a foreign object penetrate through an outer layer. Kids started first by dropping nails into an unprotected potato as a control, then started taking other materials such as aluminum foil and bubble wrap, encase the potato in the material and then try dropping the nail in again. The materials were “priced,” depending on the quality, and they must find the right combination that will stop the nail while staying within their budget.

Young children dropped nails into potatoes, their “astronauts,” to see what materials would resist penetration the best. Photos from Annika Eriksson

County

SBU forum broaches segregation, housing, education inequality on LI BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM While de facto segregation among Long Island’s school districts and housing has been entrenched for decades, there is a growing academic movement to bring people closer together. As part of the forum, “Housing and Racio-economic Equality” Elaine Gross, president of the Syosset-based advocacy group ERASE Racism, which co-sponsored the event, along with professors from Duke and Johns Hopkins Universitys discussed the history of racism and segregation in the U.S. and how it has affected public housing and education. Gross argued that there is racial segregation and inequality crisis in housing and public education on Long Island. “There are folks that think that things are fine how they are,” she said. At the forum hosted at the Hilton Garden Inn at Stony Brook Univesrity, Gross argued that there is severe government fragmentation on Long Island, which in turn makes it easier for racial discrimination in housing and public education. Nathan Connolly, a history professor at Johns Hopkins University, said we have to rethink what we know about segregation. “We are under the impression that segregation ended due to a combination of moral arguments, like [Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s] I Have a Dream Speech, and that segregation was too expensive to maintain,” he said. “Segregation is

profitable, and it didn’t end — it is still ongoing.” Connolly added due to many Jim Crow era policies, white supremacy has been baked into our political and governing structure. “In the 1920s people began to institutionalize groups like the Ku Klux Klan,” Connolly said. “They had chapters in cities like Detroit, Chicago and Washington, D.C.— it was a dominant force of political organization.” In many ways, the experts argued Long Island, in terms of its development of housing, is the perfect picture of what structural racism looks like. Gross stated some towns and school districts on Long Island are more segregated than others, showing areas like Levittown, whose black population has only risen 1.2 percent since 1947. At an ERASE Racism forum in December, Gross provided data from New York State Department of Education that shows a school district like Port Jefferson is made up of 80 percent white students, while in a district like Brentwood close to 80 percent of students are Latino while 12 percent are black. The panelists argued this racial steering of populations dates back to the time of the Great Depression. “[There was] a notion that anything that allowed unregulated movement of people would lead to economic instability,” Connolly said. “You had to generate a way to keep everyone in place, while at the same time ensuring broad economic growth.”

One way this was done was through redlining, or the denial of services to different races through raising the prices on services, or in this case, homes. Connolly said by removing these people’s options in moving around or getting a loan with a low interest rate it meant they couldn’t own homes and couldn’t accumulate equity, which in turn generated a racial wealth gap. Gross mentioned examples of this racial steering on Long Island. Three years ago in Commack, African American renters asked about vacancies at an apartment complex. They were told there were none. When white individuals asked, they were shown the vacancy, given applications and were encouraged to apply. ERASE Racism, along with the nonprofit Fair Housing Justice Center, took property owners Empire Management America Corp. to court, arguing it had violated the Federal Fair Housing Act and the Suffolk County Human Rights Law. The duo reached a successful settlement of $230,000 and required changes to the rental operations at the apartment complex. Kim Manturuk, associate director of research, evaluation, and development at Duke University provided possible solutions to segregation on Long Island. “Adapt a metropolitan approach, that has these cross district governing bodies that try to simplify, organize together things like education, infrastructure development among other

things,” she said. Though she cautioned that even when you have these procedures in place, it’s no guarantee that you get the desired results, and they need to find ways to make desegregation profitable. She mentioned in her own community of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, they have something called the Penny for Housing Fund. “One penny of every property tax dollar collected in the entire county goes into a housing fund. We use that money to incentivize developers to build housing that has an affordable housing component that cuts races and ethnic lines,” she said. If developers want to build a housing complex in the North Carolina county, they would have to set aside 10 percent of the apartment to families that are making 80 percent below the median income in the area. Gross said the change needs to begin on the local level. She stressed the importance of building diverse communities. “We need educators that buy into this change,” she said. “Also students — educating them about our history, one that is not heard about in schools.” Gross said it will take a collaborative effort to show that something like this can work. “People don’t believe — it is hard to dispel myths to them in the face of facts,” she said. “Unless they can see it and see the students and the community thriving, they won’t buy into it.”

galization and views it as a potential source of economic development in the county — if done right. “As we got to know more patients, caregivers and medical professionals, we learned even more about the benefits of medical cannabis,” Durso said. “In easing symptoms for those who are ill or those who suffer from chronic pain, [it gives them] the ability to live more fulfilled lives.” Durso added the legalization of cannabis is an opportunity to expand beyond the 5 percent of the New York population who are currently enrolled in the state program and allow more to benefit from its effects. Kym Laube, executive director of the nonprofit social services organization Human Understanding and Growth Services, said instead of focusing on just one drug we as a county need to address all drug use for the sake of children. “When it comes to the young developing brain there are no such things as safe drugs,” Laube said. “Schools across Long Island are fighting this — I just don’t think we are ready today to allow this to come [into the county].” At first, her stance was a strong no for rec-

reational marijuana, but now with legalization potentially on the horizon she hopes it can be delayed as long as possible. “Let’s think of how we can build our drug prevention infrastructure,” she said. “Let’s ensure before we roll this out that every youth has access to prevention as much as they have access to drugs.” Troy Smith, deputy director of the Empire State NORML, an advocacy group for the regulation and safe sale of marijuana, said he is not advocating for legalization, rather regulation to an existing industry and safe access to the plant. “I would like to urge you all to just say ‘no’ — don’t opt out,” he said. Smith said many law-abiding citizens partake in the consumption of marijuana, and legalization would lead to the existing business being regulated better so customers are protected. He also added by opting out the county would forfeit tax revenue and benefit drug dealers and criminals. David Falkowski, owner of Open Minded Organics in Bridgehampton, which grows industrial hemp and sells CBD oil, echoed Smith’s sentiments of not opting out.

“If by chance the county feels like it needs to opt out, I just ask them that this decision is not left up to a small board of temporarily appointed representatives and that it goes to a referendum vote,” he said. His sentiments were followed by loud applause from pro-legalization supporters. Some residents expressed concerns about quality of life and potential second-hand smoke hazards. If the county chose not to opt out, one resident asked representatives to outlaw and prohibit smoking in multiple unit-dwelling buildings to avoid the issue of people getting a contact high. For Kimberly Miller of Deer Park, marijuana isn’t all about getting high — it is more personal. As a recovering alcoholic and sexual assault survivor who suffers from depression, anxiety and PTSD, Miller said, for her and others like her, microdosing marijuana fills the gap traditional medicine doesn’t provide. “Today I’m here asking you to fill one last gap for me,” she said. “Legalize and regulate marijuana, like you do with alcohol and tobacco. Let me buy it from a reputable business and let me pay taxes on it. Build some commerce. It’s a win-win for both of us.”

Suffolk County asks the question: What to do about marijuana legalization? BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM When it comes to legalizing recreational marijuana, the debate continues in Suffolk County. More than 100 people filled the Suffolk County Legislature chambers Feb. 25 for a public hearing on the legalization of recreational marijuana and its potential impact. The over two-hour meeting fueled a contentious debate between attendees, with supporters pointing to the tax revenue the county could gain from possible legalization and the health benefits attributed to marijuana. Opponents argued that it is a quality of life issue and their view of the plant as a gateway drug, supporting the idea of the county opting out. County legislators on the health committee held the hearing to gather input from the community as New York State inches closer to legalization. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) expressed his support for legal recreational cannabis in his inaugural address in early January. John Durso, president of Local 338, a union that represents close to 300 workers in the NYS medical cannabis industry, said he supports le-

Opinion

Editorial

Letters to the editor

School districts, NY needs an independent utility advocate tighten your belts This year, more than ever, Long Islanders are about to find themselves in a jam when it comes to taxes. It’s been a little more than a month since employees received their 2018 W-2 forms. While that extra $20 or maybe $60 in each paycheck felt great to pocket in January 2018 due to passage of President Donald Trump’s (R) Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, it probably doesn’t feel quite so good now. Thousands of middle-class residents are facing a sobering reality upon calculating their 2018 tax returns. Many are finding out their anticipated tax refund has turned into an IOU to Uncle Sam. It’s in part thanks to the elimination of several federal deductions of moving expenses, home equity loan interest or, particularly, the $10,000 cap on state and local taxes deduction. It’s the SALT cap that is playing a major factor in reducing or elimination people’s anticipated federal tax return. The average property taxes for Suffolk homeowners is $9,333, according to a 2017 analysis by ATTOM Data Solutions. It’s even higher for many property owners along the North Shore in Setauket, Huntington and Smithtown. Now, there’s nothing to help offset Suffolk’s high taxes. For the average Suffolk homeowner, 60 percent of their annual tax bill is due to educational costs, according to the 2017 study. Or, more than half can be attributed to your local school district’s tax levy and annual budget. As many North Shore residents come to the realization their property taxes alone exceed the SALT deduction limit of $10,000, school districts are starting to unveil their first drafts of the 2019-20 budgets. While most districts, if not all, anticipate a proposed budget that stays within the state-mandated 2 percent tax cap, any increase in taxes no matter how marginal will continue to put an increased burden on residents. It is an undeniable truth that providing our children with a good, solid education in a safe setting is of the utmost importance. We must beg the question — is there some way to do it in a more cost-effective manner? We’re not asking school administrators to cut corners but think creatively when drafting their 2019-20 budgets. Whether the state-mandated tax levy cap is 1.83 or 2.58 percent, we’re asking you to think of cost-saving measures — for example, collaboratively purchasing goods and services cheaper in bulk — to help keep the school taxes increases far below that cap. If we were to think of the state-mandated tax cap as a ceiling, we want to ensure there’s adequate space or gap between the budget’s ceiling and the annual increases. Everyone has to pull together to keep living on Suffolk’s North Shore affordable, one part of which is keeping taxes as low as possible. As school district taxes make up the largest portion of our taxes, we have to ask districts to please tighten your belts a little more and keep those tax levies low.

I congratulate State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) and Assemblyman Steven Englebright (D-Setauket) on their re-elections in 2018. Now that the legislative session has resumed in Albany, it’s time for them and their colleagues to take care of the people’s business. As an AARP member in their districts, I applaud LaValle’s and Englebright’s commitment to public service and look forward to working with both to improve the lives of

New York’s 50 years and older population. I urge LaValle and Englebright to work together for the creation and funding of an independent utility consumer advocate in the next state budget. Currently 40 other states have such an advocate with the power to challenge rate hikes in court. We New Yorkers, who pay some of the highest utility rates in the nation, surely need that — now. I, for one, am tired of utility companies spending

part of the money I pay them on lawyers and experts to try to raise my utility rates. Once again, congratulations to LaValle and Englebright and we all look forward to working with you both on this and other important initiatives for the 50-plus New York population.

Cuomo’s gun laws will ensure student safety As we begin 2019 and reflect on the past year, we must not forget that there were more than 300 devastating mass shootings and, as a result, 1,875 deaths in the United States. The incidents have occurred in places once considered safe, such as concert halls, night clubs, schools, houses of worship and even supermarkets. As a junior in high school, the fear of a shooting in my school always remains in the back of my mind, as well as in the minds of many other students. On Jan. 15, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) released his plan for the first 100 days of 2019 that included a push for common sense gun laws. To increase safety, just yesterday [Feb. 25], the governor signed the Red Flag Law, which allows family members, police and civilians to report and petition for the removal of a gun license and guns from an individual seen as a threat to society. Additionally, he is looking to pass laws that prohibit teachers from carrying guns, as well as extending the wait time to purchase a gun if a person fails the background checks. Supporting and passing common sense gun laws is imperative to ensuring the safety of everyone living in Suffolk County and New York State. The Red Flag Law allows a state order to be enacted that will temporarily ban guns from the

person of interest’s possession until a judge determines whether or not they are a threat. The guns will be returned to the person after a trial, unless they are proven to be a danger, in which case they are confiscated. The Red Flag Law has shown to be an effective way to raise awareness and take preventative actions against gun violence in California, Florida and Connecticut. By providing an outlet to anonymously report individuals of the concern, shootings can be prevented. In the Parkland and the Tree of Life shootings, the shooters were known to be violent through social media posts and public speculation. Had the Red Flag Law been in place, these shootings may have been prevented. Though this law may be seen as an invasion of privacy, reports will only be acted upon after proof of danger. Cuomo has also passed other effective common sense gun laws in addition to the Red Flag Law. New York State government passed a law prohibiting teachers from carrying guns in the classroom. The rationale behind that is reducing the amount of guns in schools and in society, thus preventing accidents and domestic violence. The law does not prohibit trained security guards from holding guns. Teachers have voiced their opinions that they do not feel comfortable carrying

guns and would like to remain doing their sole job, teaching. Another law in the governor’s 2019 gun law initiative includes expanded wait time for a person who has failed a background check, but would still like to purchase a gun. By doing this, law enforcement is allocated more time to research and make sure that the person has met all the requirements needed in order to purchase a gun. This will prevent guns from falling into the hands of domestic abusers and untrained individuals. Cuomo’s common sense gun law agenda will improve the safety of all New Yorkers. It is my wish that these methods of gun laws be strongly considered and supported by the citizens of New York State and Suffolk County. The common denominator of all shootings is guns, and there needs to be legal action taken to ensure the safety of children and adults of all nationalities, genders, origins and beliefs. Students are demanding action be taken to ensure the safety of all. I hope that awareness will be spread among this issue and that the public will be educated on these options of gun safety laws.

To wave or not to wave, that is the question

W

ait, was that at me? How am I supposed to know? She’s still waving. I could wave back, but what if she’s waving to someone else. Should I put my stupid hand in the stupid air and risk the possibility of looking stupid? Yes, this happened to me many times during my adolescence. How was I supposed to react when someone I kind of knew, D. None or maybe wanted of the above to know, was waving in my direcBY DANIEL DUNAIEF tion? Sometimes, I pretended I didn’t see the person waving, while

I casually looked around to see if anyone near me was responding. I probably looked like I had a neck twitch, as I scanned the area to see if it was safe to wave. These days, the waving conundrum has taken a different form, especially after we moved away from the tristate area. It appears that the Northeast and Southeast have different rules for waving. In the Northeast, we wave when someone we know well walks by us in the car. If they don’t see us, perhaps we offer a quick and polite tap on our horn, just to let them know we saw them and we’ll likely text or email them later. If someone we’re pretty sure we don’t know waves, we immediately assume that someone else is the recipient of their gesture — they have a small dog on the loose and we better slow down, or their children are playing a Nerf gun game and might dart into the street. If they continue to wave, we squint for

a while, trying to figure out if maybe they’ve lost weight. It could be they’re someone we might have met casually at one of our kids sporting events, or they want us to sign a petition, or even buy a product we’re sure we don’t need because we can’t stand all the crap we already have in our own house. Of course, if we have our defensive curled upper-lip action going too quickly, we might scare away our son’s teacher, our daughter’s assistant coach or a new neighbor who has introduced herself to us four times. In the Southeast, however, the rules are different. Most of the people in the passing cars wave when I walk the dog. Yes, we have a dog and, no, you can’t pet him even though he’s pulling as hard as he can to get to you because I have to bring him back inside so I can do some writing. I’ve stopped trying to figure out the source of the amicable gesture and I wave back. My son, who sometimes accompanies

me on these dog walks, wondered, “Hey, do you know that person?” He is still playing by the rules of the Northeast. I explained that I wave at every car, even the likely empty parked vehicles in case someone is sitting in them, because that’s what you do here. I told him I’ve conducted my own experiment, where I don’t wave and I see what happens. More often than not, the person slows down and waves even more vigorously, as if to say, “Hey, I’m waving here. Now it’s your turn.” Kids in the modern era seem to have solved the waving problem. They do a quick head nod, which could be a response to a similar gesture from someone else or it could be a way of reacting to music no one else hears. Then again, they’ve probably figured out how to make a thinner, acne-free virtual version of themselves wave at cartoon versions of their friends.

President Johnson: a Civil Rights hero

B

efore February’s Black History Month moves away for another year, I would like to share with you the exciting story I read in Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book, “Leadership: In Turbulent Times,” with lessons from four presidents as leaders: Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson. Now you might be thinking that’s not the sexiest subject to be writing or reading about, but in her storytelling hands, it is a page turner. We all know too well that Johnson, the Democratic vice Between president, became president when you and me John F. Kennedy BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963. At that time, Kennedy’s progressive legislation was totally bogged down in Congress, going nowhere. What might not be so well known is that LBJ, as he was fondly known, was a “master mechanic” of the legislative process for he had come of age in politics in Congress. “It was his fierce resolve not

simply to dislodge Kennedy’s stalled agenda but to realize a society built on racial and economic justice far beyond the [FDR’s] New Deal and [Kennedy’s] New Frontier,” Goodwin wrote. Taking advantage of the short burst of sympathy and support that he expected to realize from the nation, Johnson, a Texan, wanted to get the contentious civil rights bill, designed to end segregation in the South, enacted. “We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. We have talked for 100 years or more. It is time now to write the next chapter, and to write it in the books of law,” he told Congress in his address to the nation on Nov. 27, 1963. But first he needed some congressional momentum to oil the rails and cleverly called for Kennedy’s tax cut to pass. Less divisive than the issue of civil rights, the bill had passed in the House after 13 months but was opposed by Virginia Sen. Harry Byrd, a conservative Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Conservatives then adamantly believed in a balanced budget. The idea of tax cuts came from liberals. Johnson was able to work out a deal with Byrd. If he could get the proposed budget down below $100 billion in 1965, Byrd would bring the bill to the floor for a vote. With great effort, Johnson did, the bill was voted on and the Revenue Act of 1964 was passed into law on Feb. 26, barely three short

months after the assassination. Now came the bigger challenge: civil rights. Once the tax cut bill passed, promising more revenue from increased business that could be spent on social services, Lyndon Johnson focused his attention and his legislative expertise on securing the mandate of law for civil rights. To say the least, Southern Congressional Republicans, many of them Johnson’s friends, adamantly opposed his effort. He liked to tell them his personal story about his longtime black employees, his housemaid and butler, Helen and Gene Williams, and his cook, Zephyr Wright. Each year Johnson asked them to drive his extra car from Washington, D.C., back to Texas, a threeday journey. One year Johnson asked Gene to take along his affectionate beagle as well. It was then that Johnson learned how difficult such a trip was for those of color: almost no places on the road to stop and eat, almost no bathrooms in which they were allowed, few places to sleep. “A colored man’s got enough trouble getting across the South on his own, without having a dog along,” Gene explained. Now, all these years later, the winner of the best picture at Sunday’s Academy Awards, “Green Book,” tells us the same story about traveling through the South in the 1960s with its unjust system of segregation. Johnson knew his passionate advocacy for this bill would separate him from the South and from

his Southern friends and colleagues. Johnson confronted those in Congress with how wrong segregation was and tirelessly worked the legislative system for passage of his bill. He challenged Virginia’s defiant Judge Howard Smith, a Democratic congressman and chair of the House Rules Committee by resorting to the discharge petition, a rarely used procedure, to blast the bill out of committee with the help of a majority of representatives. He rallied those outside the House to pressure their elected representatives to free the bill. The strategy worked, as leaders all over the country organized to do just that. Once out of committee, the House passed the strongest civil rights bill since Reconstruction. Next came the Senate. Johnson took on Richard Russell (D-Georgia), Senate leader of the Southern opposition, in a pitched battle that proved history is the result of individuals in the right place at the right time. Only a son of the South could have persevered at that juncture. Johnson managed, with the help of Republicans, and especially Senate minority leader, Everett Dirksen (R-Illinois), to break the Southern-led Senate filibuster. The bill then passed in the Senate. On July 2, Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. He ended by saying, “To the extent Negroes were free, really free, so was I. And so was my country.”
