A tall order

Port Jeff looks for tall ships to fill dock as planned schooner deal falls through BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Port Jefferson residents continue to look toward the harbor expecting to see masts of a tall ship high above the surrounding buildings, but they may have to wait for a while longer. Back in March, the village had announced negotiations with The Halie & Matthew, a 118-foot-long schooner originally set to dock in Port Jefferson Harbor. It was the result of months of work by the Port Jefferson Harbor Education & Arts Conservancy and local maritime enthusiasts, but village officials said negotiations fell through when the schooner company, Maine Windjammers Inc., wanted to work the vessel partly as a restaurant, operating outside the normal hours of the pier. “We’re like, nope, absolutely not,” said Mayor Margot Garant at a July 15 village meeting. ”The pier closes at dusk … The tone and tenor of that agreement changed so drastically that it just fell apart.”

Village Attorney Brian Egan confirmed the scope of the operation the schooner company desired was inconsistent with what the village originally intended, that the ship would be used for tours and as a promotional platform for the village. Port Jefferson would have given the boat exclusive access to one side of the pier near Jeanne Garant Harborfront Park for four years. However, the search for tall ships in the harbor is far from over, at least according to Port Jefferson village historian Chris Ryon. Ryon and other enthusiasts had set up the Port Jefferson Tall Ship Committee, a subset of the conservancy, to bring a tall ship to the harbor. Ryon said he was unfazed by the setback, saying they already have other plans in the works. The village historian and other committee members set up the Port Jeff Maritime Facebook page to advertise for additional tall ships, from which he said they have received several offers. “We’re opening up the dock for free to schooners and are saying ‘come on down,” he said.

These plans include using fellow committee member Jason Rose’s own still-to-be-reconstructed schooner, Elizabeth, as a placeholder at the dock site. “[Rose] is a very altruistic person,” Ryon

said. “He really wants that schooner to be a part of Port Jeff.” Ryon, who attended the July 15 meeting, said there were two ships they were looking at, one being the Amistad, a re-creation of the famed African slave ship where slaves rebelled against their captors in 1839. Famously, the slaves would eventually gain their freedom in court after being brought into New London Harbor in Connecticut. The ship will dock for a brief time Thursday, July 18, while the ship’s crew takes measurements of the dock. Another ship, the schooner SoundWaters, has also been in talks with Ryon, Rose and the tall ship committee about docking in the harbor for a yet undetermined space of time. In anticipation of the Hallie & Matthew, the village hooked up the dock to be used by the schooner with electricity, but whichever ship next moors there would be able to use it. The dock in question currently only contains the Stony Brook University-owned Seawolf, which resides on the dock’s west edge. There is currently no other boat residing on the east edge. Ryon added the Port Jefferson Yacht Club has made its own dock available should the village wish to house two tall ships at the same time. The club’s dock is actually deeper than the village-owned dock, the village historian said. The yacht club’s dock is 11 feet deep at dead low waters, while the village-owned dock is 5½ feet deep at dead low closest to the shore.

Local golfers aim for U.S. Amateur Championship qualifier BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Port Jefferson Country Club hosted a sectional qualifying round July 15 for the 2019 U.S. Amateur Championship, featuring local talent with the hope of making the cut to compete in the final round at Pinehurst (North Carolina) Resort and Country Club Aug 12-18. The qualifier was one of 96 tournaments held across the country, and with 84 golfers vying for the top three spots to make the cut, Brent Ito of Ann Arbor, Michigan tied with Ethan Ng of New York City to finish at 7-under. Andrew Chambers of Boca Raton, Florida finished 5-under, to round out the top three. Ward Melville alum and Port Jeff resident Gerald Mackedon, a junior at St. John’s University, shot a 68 in the first round followed by a 72 in the second, coming in at 4-under for the tournament to secure the first alternate position for the championship in Pinehurst. Port Jeff resident Jon Sherman survived the first round with a 75 and shot a 79 in the second to finish at 10-over. Port Jefferson resident and 2019 graduate Shane DeVincenzo, who earlier this season won his second consecutive Suffolk championship,

went on to place second in the New York State championship round June 3 at Cornell University. DeVincenzo shot a 77. Matthew Mirocco, another Ward Melville graduate, finished the day shooting 80. Complete results can be found here: www. golfgenius.com/pages/1828717.

Donald Kane Donald John Kane, of Wilmington NC, formerly of Mount Sinai passed away July 8

State at the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in North Carolina. He was 87. The youngest of eight sons, Donald was born in Brooklyn Jan. 27, 1932, to Henry Vincent Kane and Anna Donahue Kane. Don was a career Marine serving his country all over the world as a Comms Chief. He was a veteran of both the Korean War and the Vietnam War and was a Purple Heart recipient. He retired from the Marine Corps after 22 and a half years of faithful service in 1971. He held true to the Marine Corps motto Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful), attending the Drill Instructor reunion and Marine Corps Ball every year with his wife Robin. Upon retirement from the U.S. Marine Corps, Don pursued a career with the U.S. Post Office in Mount Sinai York, where he retired after a 20-year commitment in 1994. Don’s zest for life was contagious, and he was always the life of the party. He was known as “Uncle Don” in Mount Sinai, and as “The Godfather” of his neighborhood. Don was happiest tending his garden and spending time with his family and friends. Don was renowned for his storytelling. Family said his big heart encompassed everyone he met, and he always made you feel loved, no matter what. In addition to his wife Robin, he is survived by his four daughters, Donna (Jonathan) Seely of Murfreesboro, TN, Dorine (Joe) Gallo of Wildwood, MO, Gloria (Jonathan) Deitsch of Marysville, MI, and Kasey (Bryan) Scanlon of Hubert, NC; daughter in law Nina Kane of San Antonio, TX; twelve grandchildren, Aimee Seely Hull, Christopher Sauer Seely, Stephanie Kane, Joseph Gallo, Elisa Gallo, Jordyn Deitsch, Taylor Deitsch, Jack Donald Deitsch, Bradyn Deitsch, Kaydince Scanlon, Brody Scanlon, Karter Scanlon; and his great grandchild, Kate Hull. Don was preceded in death by his son, Timothy J. Kane of San Antonio, TX. Family and friends are invited to a viewing on July 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. at the O.B. Davis Funeral Home in Port Jefferson Station. A Celebration of Life and funeral service will be held July 29 at 10 a.m. at the same funeral home.

seeking asylum and met with several migrant families to hear, first-hand, their experiences and what can be done to help. “America is better than this,” he said. “I have worked on this issue since before I was elected mayor of Glen Cove in 1993 and I will continue to fight for solutions consistent with our American values.” During the visit, Suozzi learned that only 20 to 30 migrants seeking asylum are processed each day. This provides an incentive for people to cross in between ports of entry, he said, and once apprehended, they then turn themselves in to seek asylum. In turn, this leads to their detention. “My recent trip to the border makes it clear that this issue is incredibly complicated and has been for decades. The policies and rhetoric from this administration have exacerbated

the problem, permeating a culture of fear that forces many immigrants further into the shadows.” The congressman is calling for action, insisting that all delegates work together to: •Address the current humanitarian crisis at the border. •Secure borders in a smart and effective way. •Create stability in the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras that account for almost 90 percent of current immigrants. •Protect the legal status of Dreamers and people with temporary protective status and their families with renewable temporary protection and a path to citizenship. The tour coincided with rallies held in Huntington village and across the country and the world in protest of the policies and inhumane practices at U.S. border with Mexico. Suozzi was a guest on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on July 16, where he said that “the president has, once again, shifted the conversation away from important policy issues toward a racial divide in our country.” The Rev. Duncan Burns, of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Huntington, attended the Huntington rally “Lights for Liberty” and spoke to the crowd that gathered July 12. Suozzi’s trip to the border, the reverend said, has sparked greater concern. “We encourage people to raise their voices and to call their members of Congress to urge them to work together to find solutions,” he said. “The Episcopal Church is completely backing both parties to find a solution to this humanitarian crisis.” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) did not respond to phone and email requests for comment on his position on the issue.

50th anniversary of Apollo 11

hey named it Apollo. Though the moniker has become synonymous with human achievement, a scientiﬁc milestone, the merging of a collective national conscience, the Greek god Apollo was known for many things, but the moon was not one of them. If scientists had to choose, there was the Titan Selene, or perhaps Artemis or Hecate, all Greek gods with connection to the great, gray orb in the night’s sky. Abe Silverstein, NASA’s director of Space Flight Programs, proposed the name, and he did so beyond the surface of using a well-known god of the pantheon. In myth, Apollo was the sky charioteer, dragging Helios, the Titan god of the sun, in an elliptical high over humanity’s head. If anything was going to bring humanity

to the moon, it would be Apollo. Despite this, it wasn’t a myth that allowed man to take his first steps on the moon, it was humankind. Billions of dollars were spent by companies across the nation, working hand in hand with NASA to find a way to make it into space. Here on Long Island, the Bethpage-based Grumman Corporation worked to create the lunar module, the insect-looking pod that would be the first legs to test its footing on the moon’s surface. Thousands worked on the lunar module, from engineers to scientists to accountants to everyone in between. Half a century later some of these heroes of science, engineers and other staff, though some may have passed, are still around on the North Shore to continue their memories.

Memories of Apollo

Pat Solan — Port Jefferson Station BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Pat Solan of Port Jefferson Station can still remember her late husband, Mike, back when the U.S. wanted nothing more than to put boots far in the sky, on the rotating disk of the moon. Mike worked on the Apollo Lunar Module at Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation in Bethpage, where he was at the head of several projects including mock-ups of the pod and working on its landing gear. He can be seen in a movie presented by NASA as workers create a scale diorama of the surface of the moon, craters and all. “The space program was important — people don’t realize it was a huge endeavor,” she said. Pat met her husband in Maryland when she was only 21. Mike had worked with military aviation projects all over the country, but the couple originally thought they would end up moving to California. Instead, one of Mike’s friends invited him to come to Long Island to try an interview with Grumman. Needless to say, he got the job. The couple would live in Port Jefferson for two years before moving to Setauket. Pat said her husband always had his eye on the sky. Aviation was his dream job, and she remembered how he was “thrilled to pieces”

to step into the cockpit of a Grumman F-14 Tomcat. Mike would be constantly working, so much that during those years of development on the module she would hardly see him at home. “He was working double shifts and he was going in between Calverton and Bethpage,” she said. “I hardly saw him at all.” But there were a few perks. Solan and her husband would see many astronauts as Grumman brought them in to test on the simulators. She met several of the early astronauts, but perhaps the most memorable of them was Russell “Rusty” Schweickart, all due to his quick wit and his outgoing personality compared to the stauncher, military-minded fellow astronauts. Schweickart would be pilot on the Apollo 9 mission, the third crewed space mission that would showcase the effectiveness of the lunar module, testing systems that would be critical toward the future moon landing. She, along with Mike, would also go down to Cape Canaveral, Florida, and there she was

allowed to walk in the silo. Standing underneath the massive girders, it was perhaps the most impressive thing she has ever seen in her life. “It was absolutely mind-boggling — it was very impressive,” she said. “I can still remember that. I was stricken.” On the day of the landing, July 20, 1969, Pat was hosting a party to watch the dramatic occasion at her home, then in Setauket. It could have barely been a more auspicious day, as she had just given birth to her daughter Rolin July 8. Eventually, Mike would have multiple strokes through the late 1970s and ’80s, and the stress of it would cause him to retire in 1994. He died a few years later. “He really felt he was not capable of doing presentations to the government anymore,” she said.

But being so close to the work tied to getting man into space has left an impression on her. Herself being an artist, having sold paintings, both landscapes and impressionistic, along with photography and felt sculptures, the effortit was or of the people who put a human on the moonengineers showed her the extent of human and Americanneeded to achievement. that dictat “It was a time of such cooperation — I thinkdisplay sy it’s sad we don’t see that now,” she said. precariou Despite current events, she said she still An erro believes the U.S. can achieve great things,he said, co though it will take a concerted effort. “Astro “People have to move outside their ownpable of persona,” she added. “People are too wrappedMarino sa up, everything is centered on oneself instead ofwhen you a bigger picture, the whole.” they know The te with red ﬂ probes pos of the project in 1962 to the last landing on the The mo moon.

Joseph Marino — Northport BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Fifty years ago, on July 20, 1969, man walked on the surface of the moon. Northport resident Joseph Marino spent 10 years on the Apollo mission as a Grumman systems engineer, involved from the very beginning

it was originally known, and managed 300 engineers and also psychologists who were needed to work out the man/machine interface that dictated equipment design, such as visual display systems the crew relied upon during precarious moments of landing and docking. An error in timing, particularly during landing, he said, could be disastrous. “Astronauts are the coolest characters capable of handling any situation imaginable,” Marino said. “It’s crucial for the crew to know when you make contact with the surface, so they know when to shut off the engine.” The team ultimately created an alert system with red ﬂashing lights wired to 3- to 4-foot-long probes positioned on the module’s landing gear. The most dramatic, awe-inspiring moment of all during the Apollo missions, Marino said, was when the astronauts witnessed the Earth rising above the horizon of the moon’s cratered landscape. The event was memorialized in what has become an iconic photo that most people today have seen. Marino cherishes that shot. NASA’s moon mission has been an endless

source of inspiration for mankind. In fact, people can thank the space program for popularizing inventions big and little. Computers, very primitive versions of what are popular today, were ﬁrst used by NASA. Velcro, Marino said, was also invented during the Apollo program and later became broadly popular. Looking back, now that 50 years have passed, Marino said it’s disturbing to him that there’s been such a wide gap in time since the last moon landing and today. He recently spoke to his granddaughter’s high school class and told them, “Not only did man walk on the surface of the moon before you were born, likely it occurred before your parents were born.” The bond Marino has developed with his aerospace colleagues has lasted a lifetime. Each month, he still meets with a dozen co-workers for lunch at the Old Dock Inn in Kings Park. For the 50th anniversary, Marino says that he’s been enjoying the special programming on PBS. He recommends its three-part series called “Chasing the Moon.”

Frank Rizzo — Melville BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM For Frank Rizzo, his experience of working on the Apollo program while a Grumman employee was more about dollars and cents. Rizzo, 85, was with the aerospace engineering company for 33 years. While he retired as a vice president, in the years leading up to the moon landing, he was an accounting manager with the Grumman lunar module program. The Melville resident said it was an exciting time at Grumman. Work, he said, began on the project a few years before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took the first steps on the moon. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration established a work package budgeting system with Grumman, and Rizzo, who lived in Dix Hills at the time, said he was responsible for giving the team in the Houston space center the monthly estimate to complete the actual expenditures from an external point of view and also determine profit and loss from an internal point of view. Rizzo and his co-workers traveled to Houston frequently to review the program with NASA to give the current status from the financial, engineering and manufacturing viewpoints, though sometimes the meetings took place on Long Island. The former accounting manager said many times stand-up meetings were held due to the theory that people become too comfortable when they sit, and stand-up meetings enable for more to get done in less time. Rizzo said he remembers the original contract, signed in the latter part of 1962, to be valued around $415 million at first. He likened the project to building a house, where it evolves over the years. Revisions come along, and just

like one might choose to move a door or window, the budget would need to change regularly. “When they discovered something from an engineering viewpoint, they had to change the manufacturing scope and materials,” he said. Rizzo said an example of a significant change was when Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger B. Chaffee were killed in a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test in 1967. The trio would have been the first crew to take part in the first low Earth orbital test. Due to the horrific incident, a change was made to ensure all material within the lunar module was fireproof. “That was a major change,” he said. “That entitled us to additional funds to put new materials in it. So those things happened quite frequently — a change to the contract.” When all was said and done, Rizzo said the contract value between NASA and Grumman totaled more than $2 billion. During the project, Rizzo said many members of the press would come to visit the Grumman office, including Walter Cronkite who anchored “CBS Evening News” at the time. “Here was a little place on Long Island being responsible for the actual vehicle that landed on the moon,” he said. Since the moon landing, Rizzo said seeing similar NASA activities like the Space Shuttle program haven’t been as exciting as the Apollo program. “A lot of people said it was a waste of money, but that money was spent here for jobs, and many of the things that we got out of the research and development, like cellphones or GPS, and so forth, the basic research and development came out of that NASA program back in the ’60s and ’70s,” he said.

Letters to the Editor

It may be time to put the “Park in Parking” Remembering LI’s contribution to Apollo 11

Long Islanders can be particularly proud on July 20, as Americans celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first human steps taken on the moon by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Many of the men and women who once worked at the Grumman Corporation in Bethpage, right here on Long Island, played a significant part in the project. The aerospace engineering company, now known as Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, was integral in the design, assembly, integration and testing of the lunar module used in the Apollo 11 mission. In fact, by 1969 approximately 9,000 people, according to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, were working on the project. This team included 3,000 engineers, scientists, mathematicians and supporting technical personnel. We owe a lot to the men and women of Grumman who played a part in the Apollo 11 mission and all lunar landing missions that followed. One small step for man led to giant leaps in technology. Among the technological advances to emerge from the Apollo missions, according to NASA’s website, is the AID implantable automatic pulse generator. Using Apollo technology, it monitors the heart continuously, recognizes the onset of a heart attack and delivers a corrective electrical shock. Developed by the company Medrad, it consists of a microcomputer, a power source and two electrodes that sense heart activity. When medically necessary, the product is available as an implant today. Many Grumman employees still live on Long Island, and when our editors started asking friends and social media connections if they knew anyone who worked on the moon mission, we were surprised at how easy it was to find these people who worked on the lunar module or LM. One editor sat on the board of a nonprofit with one of the people we feature in this edition, and she never knew he played a role in such a historic event. During this milestone anniversary, we hope our readers will take the opportunity to ask around and find out if anyone knows a family member or friend who worked on the mission. Their stories are interesting, and, as they are now in their 70s and 80s, we hope their memories will be passed down to not only family and friends, but to everyone. Imagine, just a little more than 50 years ago it was unfathomable that humans could put a person on the moon, but Americans did. The mission reminds us of what a group of people working in various fields can collectively accomplish. If we can put a man on the moon, maybe one day we’ll be able to figure out how to put an end to hunger even with a food surplus, cure cancer and convert our fuel economy to alternative, clean forms of energy. Let’s remember that dreams do come true. What once seemed impossible was achieved. The spirit that captured our country enabled men and women to work together towards a common goal. With a common belief in ourselves as Americans, such a thing can happen again.

In 2006, a plan was created and sponsored by the Port Jefferson Business Improvement District, the village mayor and trustees to make the Town of Brookhaven parking lot into a park. This would make a continuous public passive recreation park along the harbor from Barnum Avenue to Centennial Park at the village border with Belle Terre. The plan proposed a village square at the end of Main Street to make a public space and visual and pedestrian connection to the harbor. In exchange, the plan proposed one or two automated parking structures that would increase the available parking by 50 percent. You would park your car in a personal garage space and it would be automatically parked, and the structure would be a visual attribute to the village space and scale. Imagine when you drove downtown, you would pull into and leave your car in your personalized garage and walk, not through a sea of asphalt, but through a

tree-lined, landscaped mews space to your destination. No need to look for a space, wasting gas and wrecking the environment. When you want to leave, you use your credit card and your car is automatically delivered to you in a few minutes. In 2006, public presentations were made, and the BID ran a survey with eight questions. One was, “In order to create a new park at the harbor, do you feel that the following would be acceptable: guaranteed space in the parking structure?” Of the responses, there were 51 yes, 27 no and one maybe. The study looked into the cost of an automated 435-car, 30-feet-high, solarpowered parking structure in the Arden lot, replacing 100 surface spaces, and proposed that it would be paid for with a bond that would be paid off by its revenues. This newspaper ran a front page story on the plan on Jan. 26, 2006 and again on June 8, 2006. The plan to put the “Park in

Parking” was studied again in greater detail with a grant from New York State and it was approved by the village in 2013 and is in the appendix of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update. We can now look at this proposed park on the harbor as a means of mitigating the problem of storm surges and rising tides that are now causing flooding in the village on a regular basis. So, besides having a beautiful park connection, linking the village to its harbor, improving the quality of life with guaranteed parking that contributes to the visual quality of the village, we can address the future of flooding in our village. We are working on a study of the Port Jefferson watershed and harbor flooding issues with the hope that the village will continue to make the harborfront a quality of life amenity and not a place for car storage.

Leadership on clean groundwater is overdue Talk is cheap, especially when it comes to water pollution on Long Island. This issue impacts citizens across the Island, but especially in Suffolk County, some more than others — many in serious and enduring ways. Communities across the county face longstanding and adverse health effects from groundwater contamination. Congressional and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency leaders have long given lip service to the problem, but they must now act. Historically, letters have been written to those at EPA, sometimes with the effect of spurring action, more often none. Superfund sites have been established, some even resolved, but the problem is more persistent than resolving one or two sites. Needed is a full-on commitment, a comprehensive and concerted federal approach to resolving what has become a systemic, intergenerational and regional problem. Waiting decades to fix it only endangers more lives. The overriding goal should be permanently ending public health hazards associated with persistent groundwater pollution. The costs may range upwards into the hundreds of millions of dollars but forestalling or ignoring the enormity of this issue does no one any good and does local citizens only continued harm. That is why action is needed now. I would

propose, for starters, public hearings on safe drinking water and current contamination, focused tightly on what the federal government can do immediately — right now. Beyond this elevation of the issue, needed is leadership of a congressional task force to focus on groundwater contamination, both for Long Island and across the nation. While sources vary, one recent study found “the known extent of contamination of American communities with the highly toxic fluorinated compounds known as PFAS continues to grow at an alarming rate,” and that “as of March 2019, 610 locations in 43 states are now known to be affected, including drinking water systems serving an estimated 19 million people.” Long Island communities have been unusually vulnerable, which is why congressional leadership is needed. For example, last year, East Hampton was forced to declare a state of emergency in Wainscott due to chemical contamination of drinking water wells. Here and in other locations, costs of remediation and averting future harm are high. Other towns face similar challenges. Suffolk County officials continue to wrestle, for example, with potential carcinogenic contamination in wells near homes in Quogue and East Quogue, and near the southeastern and northeastern boundaries of Gabreski

Airport. And these are just a few of Suffolk’s examples near my home in East Hampton. Others abound throughout Long Island. These stories are neither isolated nor insignificant. They are local in nature but call for a national response. Congressional representatives have historically written letters asking for help, but leadership requires more than letters and hope. Needed is a sense of resolve, a determination to end this decades-old problem and set in motion provisions that prevent any recurrence. If every informed American knows about Flint, Michigan, they should know how everyday citizens in other parts of the country, including Suffolk County, wrestle with assuring clean water. If federal initiatives in other parts of the country and cleaning up other parts of the environment warrant attention — and they do — so does Suffolk County. Members of Congress have the ability to prioritize, fund remediation and combat the intergenerational degradation of groundwater in Suffolk County —and nationally. You seldom see the issue in national headlines, but it belongs there. If all politics are local, because that’s where we live, safe drinking water is a national necessity, and Congress should treat it that way.

Through losses, we learn to appreciate the people we’ve found

e spend our lives searching. We look for friends in elementary school with whom we can share a laugh or a meal. We seek the right clothing and supplies so that we ﬁt in. As we age, the searches change. We hunt for fulﬁlling jobs, long-term romantic or career partners, places to live, cars that will D. None meet our needs, and homes in comof the above munities that will BY DANIEL DUNAIEF welcome us and our families. Through all of these searches, people wander into and out of our

lives. If we’re fortunate enough, we might know someone from the time we’re 3 years old with whom we continue to meet, laugh, and exchange work stories or ideas and challenges. Sitting in cars waiting for our children to emerge from their orchestra rehearsals or milling about in the entrance to an auditorium after a concert, we may see the same familiar faces, smile at the people next to us, and appreciate how they have supported all of our children with equal energy and commitment, congratulating our son or daughter on their solos or appreciating the remarkable live performance they just witnessed. As we age, we inevitably lose people. Some drift out of our lives when their interests diverge from ours, even though they remain in the same town. Others take jobs in a new state and follow a different schedule in a new time zone. When our friends or family members die, the losses are permanent. Except in photos, videos and in our imaginations, we won’t see their faces,

smell their perfume or hear their infectious and distinctive laugh echo around a room. We often say to family members and close friends, “So sorry for your loss.” While death is a loss, it’s also a reminder of what we found. The person who has left us may have attended the same school, lived on the same block or gone to the same conference many years ago. A blur of people enter and leave our lives, sometimes for as short as a few seconds because we give them change at a store or take their reservations when we’re working for a ferry company, or other times when we’re waiting with them at the DMV to get a new license in a new state. Other times, the people who will become an ongoing part of our lives ﬁnd us, just as we found them. Their death brings sadness and a hole in the fabric of our lives. Some cultures tear a hole in their garments to tell the world about the missing piece that comes with mourning. These moments are also an opportunity to

celebrate the fact that we forged a connection and that we played an important role in each other’s lives. Connections begin when we reach out to strangers who become friends and to men and women who become life partners. Every day, we have the opportunity to appreciate what we’ve found in the people who populate our lives, the ones we choose to call to share the news about a promotion, those whose support and consideration remind us of who we are. When we stray from a path that works, these found friends can bring us back to the version of ourselves we strive to be. Each loss reminds us not only of who that person was in general, but also of what we discovered through our interactions. These important people provide common ground and experiences and are as much a part of who we are as the image staring back at us in the mirror. We didn’t just ﬁnd them. Ideally, we found the best of ourselves through the experiences we shared with them.

home and rent a medical office might have overshadowed the miracle of the moon landing, but for me that event was high-voltage electric. Just before we left New York for Texas and my husband’s assignment, I had been working at Time-Life with Arthur C. Clarke, who had arrived from his Eden-like home in Ceylon — now Sri Lanka — to write a book called, “Man and Space.” Clarke, like the other writers of space discoveries and travel, had to write under the banner of science fiction in order to gain respectability. But the truth was that these authors believed what they wrote would come to pass, and fortunately for many of them they were alive to see it happen in the 1960s. And I was fortunate enough to be part of the excitement, a front row spectator of history, as we journalists are. I, too, was caught up in the fervor of the coming moon shot. When Clarke parted, he went on to join Stanley Kubrick to co-write the script of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” considered today one of the best films ever made, and I to become the wife of an Air Force officer and then mother of three. So we leave the incredible heights of American pride now and look at the other side of the

coin. Elsewhere in our news, we have the press release from U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), who went to the southern border of the United States with a small group from the House to see ﬁrst hand what was happening at the immigration centers. In his words, the situation is “awful” and the system is “broken.” The group toured and inspected facilities that are currently holding Central American migrants seeking asylum, speaking with several immigrant families as they went. According to ﬁrst-hand reports, there is a humanitarian crisis at the border. Since only very few migrants are processed each day, many cross over the border illegally between points of entry, then turn themselves in to seek asylum. They come in such numbers that they greatly exceed capacity to house and care for them, and as such are living in deplorable conditions. These are our American concentration camps, where children have been separated from their parents. They are deserving of our shame. “America is better than this,” declared Suozzi, and we know that to be true. At one and the same time, we celebrate and rue our nation.

The two faces of America in 2019

oday we report on two diametrically opposite faces of our nation. Interspersed here are some personal recollections of my own. Fifty years ago we Americans stood proud and together, our faces turned upward to the heavens, as the United States sent Apollo 11 to the moon with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins aboard. Armstrong and Aldrin were to land on the surface in the Lunar Excursion Module, or LEM, the creation of engineering wizardry by thousands of Grumman workers right here Between on Long Island. An estimated 650 milyou and me lion people around BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF the world watched spellbound on black-and-white television screens as the two

astronauts took the first steps for a man on July 20, 1969, and the unprecedented leap into the future of space travel for mankind. Until 1972, 24 people flew to the moon, none since then. But that was just the beginning of incredible discoveries and inventions, from miniaturizations to astrobiology. We have a satellite that has played host to other nations and enabled us to see around the world. Known as the International Space Station, we have used it to reach out into the solar system. And it will even become a regular destination for tourists shortly if entrepreneurs are to be believed. Meanwhile, as Armstrong and Aldrin were busy walking around on the moon, there was a tiny leap on Earth for our third son. He arrived from out of the womb at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson and at this time is enjoying a 50th anniversary of his own. We had arrived on Long Island only three weeks earlier from Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas, where my husband had served for the preceding two years, and were busy working to establish our new lives here. Now you might think that the blessing of a new baby, along with the need to find a new
