Cleanup effort continues in PJ a week after flooding

Theatre Three suffered damaged to costumes, props and other mechanical equipment, though productions went on a mere 72 hours after the storm.

“many, many other things.” “We’ve experienced in the past certain types of flooding in Port Jefferson,” Bing said. “This last one was the worst flooding event we’ve ever experienced. Wednesday morning was a mud disaster in the theater.” New York State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) indicated he’s seen severe flooding in Port Jeff in the past during nonhurricane weather events, but this particular storm raised his eyebrows for a number of reasons. The storm occurred during low tide and flooding was not due to tidal waters, meaning had it occurred during high tide it’s possible tidal floodwaters would have combined with the flash flooding to cause water levels to reach in the ballpark of 10 feet instead of the four to five feet that actually occurred, Englebright said. “When you put a layer of sand on top of a living marsh and then build housing and buildings on it, and rename it from Drowned Meadow to Port Jefferson, and hope nobody would notice, nature will come back and bite you from time to time,” he said. As the chairman of the Assembly’s Committee on Environmental Conservation, Englebright indicated storms like this one could become more frequent. “That’s a kind of a preview of what’s going to happen if we don’t seriously address climate. The big flood is still in the future, but the signposts all point toward continuing sea level rise. So I’m concerned.” Englebright suggested in the meantime serious consideration be given to raising future structures constructed in the village above ground level.

Though the floodwaters have receded a week later, cleanup and questions still remain. Port Jefferson village was hit with more than four inches of rain in about an hour during the evening Sept. 25, and while village trustee Bruce D’Abramo joked Port Jeff might have been prepared to handle a 100-year storm, it wasn’t ready for the “200-year storm” it sustained. The extreme rate of rainfall resulted in flash flooding that inundated Main Street, trapped motorists in cars, washed out those dining out in restaurants and soaked auditioning actors at Theatre Three. The theater and other businesses like Ruvo East on Wynn Lane and Old Fields of Port Jefferson a block over experienced high water marks of about four feet. Old Fields was closed for a few days after the storm while Ruvo remained closed for renovations due to the flooding as of Oct. 2. Port Jefferson School District’s two instructional buildings also were affected by the flooding, according to its website, and officials are in the process of determining what aspects of the damage are covered by insurance. A furious volunteer effort ensued to get Theatre Three up and running in time for its Sept. 28 productions. “We managed to get everything ready for Friday night and ran the entire weekend,” said Jeffrey Sanzel the theater’s executive artistic director. Bradlee Bing, who serves on Theatre Three’s board of directors and was one of its founding directors in 1973, said cleanup efforts were undertaken by dozens of volunteers and staff in the 72 hours between the storm and Friday night’s productions. Work was done around the clock, spearheaded in large part by Brian Hoerger, the theater’s facilities manager, who Bing called the “champion” of the cleanup effort for his organizational and leadership role. “As dark a day as it was, the sunshine and light of the volunteers really rejuvenated our energies and enthusiasm for what we’ve [been] doing these past 50 years,” Bing said. “The number of people that came down, multiple dozens of people that committed their time to putting everything back in order. The support of the town and community was overwhelming.” He said restaurants donated food to help keep volunteers going, and The Home Depot and Lowe’s donated supplies to help remove the tons of mud and other remnants of the flood. He said much of the theater’s electrical wiring was destroyed. Sanzel said some other important items sustained major damage, including an HVAC unit, the boiler, costumes, a large chunk of props used in annual productions of “A Christmas Carol,” all of the props from the touring show “From the Fires: Voices of the Holocaust,” along with

No fund balance needed, minimal tax increase in 2019 proposed Brookhaven budget BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Which Body Type are YOU?

growing non-property tax sources of revenue, including a “huge rally” in mortgage tax receipts in recent years. The 2017 operating budget was boosted by an increase in mortgage tax revenue also not seen in nearly a decade, though 2018 estimates are falling slightly short of that performance, according to Romaine. Still, he indicated there are positive signs for the town’s housing market. In 2013, more than 62 percent of the operating budget was funded by property taxes, according to him, compared to an estimated 58.7 percent in the tentative ’19 budget. “We have 41 grants that we have been successful in receiving, and we have another 25 in the hopper,” Romaine said, of other revenue streams for the town. “So by attracting and aggressively going after grant money, we’ve been able to cut down on our dependence on property tax.” The town’s proposed budget includes about $87 million in capital projects for 2019. About $58 million of those funds will be set aside for new capital projects with the remainder going to projects started in prior years. Brookhaven also received a $20 million grant as the winner of New York State’s Municipal Consolidation and Efficiency Competition.

Brookhaven Town residents will see a small increase in their 2019 town tax bill, and minimal use of surplus to balance the proposed operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine’s (R) roughly $302 million tentative spending plan, presented during a media briefing at Town Hall Sept. 28, maintains all constituent services and full-time staffing from the current operating budget, increases funding for road maintenance and keeps the garbage district rate flat at $350 annually. The 2019 tentative budget represents an approximately $8 million increase compared to the current year. The primary cost drivers of the budget cited by Romaine are a collective bargaining agreement mandated cost-ofliving raise for town employees; an extra pay day for all employees in 2019; and a more than 6 percent increase in cost of employee benefits. Still, the proposed budget complies with the state-mandated 2 percent property tax increase cap. Romaine discussed the lack of a need to use fund balance reserve dollars to balance the

budget as a point of pride in presenting the ’19 tentative budget. “One of my key strategic financial goals since taking office in November 2012 has been to bring the town’s finances to structural balance,” he said. “The three-point plan I implemented six years ago has put an end to deficit spending, has rebuilt the town’s surpluses and has improved the town’s credit rating to a AAA with Standard & Poor’s.” Matt Miner, town chief of operations, said it’s been more than a decade since the town had a balanced budget requiring no fund balance. “This is really the highlight of the supervisor’s budget,” he said. “You can see that the town, prior to Supervisor Romaine’s arrival, relied heavily on the use of fund balance surplus to balance its budget and the supervisor has been very aggressive and instructed both [Tamara Wright, town commissioner of finance] and myself and all of the department heads to craft budgets to bring that application of surplus down. Each year, we’ve been doing that and to the supervisor’s credit, it is now at zero in all six major funds, something that really hasn’t been achieved.” The supervisor touted a rededication to

A public hearing on the budget is slated for Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. at Town Hall with expected adoption to take place Nov. 20.

Kent Animal Shelter saves dozens of dogs from uncertain fate Amid mandatory evacuation orders in the Carolinas and Virginia in advance of Hurricane Florence, many ﬂeeing residents left their pets behind to fend for themselves. For those pets lucky enough to be rescued, they were brought to area shelters already full to capacity. When news spread the animals would start being euthanized if no one adopted them, Kent Animal Shelter in Calverton quickly joined other outreach groups to make a difference. Working in conjunction with Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, the shelter took in 12 dogs two weeks ago. “We then sent our own truck down to South Carolina and when they came back last Monday night they had 17 more,” Pamela Green, Kent’s executive director, said last Thursday. The most recent group of dogs came from South Carolina’s Marlboro and Horry counties, two of the hardest hit areas devastated by ﬂooding. “Those counties were still pretty much under water as recent as last Tuesday so those dogs were from people who lost their homes and relinquished the animals,” Green said. “The people probably don’t have places to live themselves at this point.”

huas. While many have already been adopted, all the dogs will all be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before going to their new homes. (To see some of the available pets, see page B12.) Shelters in areas ravaged by Hurricane Florence announced earlier this week that they are temporarily halting the transport of animals to give residents more time to reclaim their dogs. For the staff at Kent, however, this is only a short reprieve as they are expecting 10 dogs to arrive Sunday from a Missouri puppy mill. According to Green, the shelter is always looking for foster homes. “Sometimes the animals we get in are a bit traumatized. In the case of the hurricane, they’ve already been exposed to some trauma so then they are transported a very long way and by the time they get here they’re pretty scared or nervous,” she said, adding, “Those animals usually come around more quickly in a foster home.” Financial donations and supplies such as canned cat and dog food, paper towels, bleach, KENT ANIMAL SHELTER

cat litter, treats, towels and blankets are also appreciated. Kent Animal Shelter celebrates its golden anniversary this year. The private not-for-profit, located at 2259 River Road in Calverton along the Peconic River, opened its doors in 1968. It rescues and finds homes for over 700 dogs and cats each year. “We had almost 100 adoptions this July alone,” Green said proudly, who has been at the helm of the no-kill facility for over 30 years. Several events have been planned to commemorate the anniversary including the upcoming Wines and Canines Run/Walk fundraiser at the Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard in Calverton Oct. 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 per person at www.kentanimalshelter.com. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome. For Green, working at the shelter is a labor of love filled with rewards and happy endings. “I’ve been doing this for 33 years and I still come to the same office because I feel that we are really making a difference here. Maybe we’re not going to save all the animals, but just saving the ones that we can get to changes their lives and changes the lives of people too,” she said. “I still get so much joy out of seeing an animal leave the shelter and go to a new home. It’s the greatest thing – it makes my day.”

Perspective

Remembering an American hero President Theodore Roosevelt’s words, given above, were spoken more than a century before the passing of longtime Arizona Senator John McCain, but they serve as a perfect summation to remember his dynamic. The 81-year-old politician, combat veteran and prisoner of war passed away after a battle with brain cancer Aug. 25. In the aftermath of his death, Americans watched ceremonies held in Arizona, Washington, D.C., and Annapolis, Maryland, by military figures, politicians from both major parties and friends who immediately recalled the unique strength that McCain had demonstrated throughout his life. As a young man, McCain learned the value of service through the examples established by his family members. His grandfather, John Sidney McCain, was a four-star admiral who served during World War II. The senior McCain sailed around the world within the naval White Fleet created by President Theodore Roosevelt. He was also a key figure in establishing the early naval flight training and carrier-based fighter planes during World War II and the Cold War. McCain’s father, John Jr., was a submarine commander during World War II. He too was an admiral who was in charge of the American naval presence in the Pacific and in Vietnam. While Senator McCain graduated fifth from the bottom of his Annapolis class of 1958, many of his peers saw him as resembling “John Wayne” for his bravado and colorful approach to being a cadet and later as a naval aviator. Later on in speeches to naval cadets, McCain described himself as being “undistinguished” and a “party man,” but his naval family lineage balanced his rebellious side.

McCain was laid to rest at Annapolis where he developed many of his “maverick” military and political traits. A fierce high school and college lacrosse competitor, Rocky Point native Danielle Vivonetto graduated from Annapolis in 2012. She is currently a lieutenant and a MH-60S helicopter pilot. She said McCain represented “the necessary patriotism and sacrifice that will forever be a bright example for all armed forces members to emulate.” Former U.S. Marine Corps mortarman and the current president of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Suffolk County Chapter 11, Richard Kitson served in South Vietnam at the same time that McCain was shot down in 1967. The longtime resident of Port Jefferson Station identified the vital aspects of McCain’s military and political experience that represented “all that America stood for” and he served with “honor like that of his father and grandfather,” Kitson said. He said he was pleased that members of both political parties put aside their differences to recognize the hardships McCain endured in serving America during times of war and peace. On Oct. 26, 1967, during his 23rd bombing mission over the skies of North and South Vietnam, the A-4 Skyhawk fighter jet McCain was flying was hit by enemy surface-to-air missiles. He was pulled out of Truc Bach Lake, outside of Hanoi by Vietnamese civilians. Just recently, Americans who are living in this part of Vietnam placed a wreath near the spot where McCain was taken by the enemy. He sustained several injuries from the war that stayed with him until the day he died. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina recalled in a speech to Congress he observed McCain’s inability to comb his own hair and put on a coat, a byproduct of being shot down

— President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

and tortured by North Vietnamese interrogators at the Hanoi Hilton. When it was learned by the enemy McCain’s family members included high ranking naval officers, they offered him an earlier prisoner release, which he refused to accept. For more than five years from 1967 to 1973, McCain was held in horrible conditions and constantly suffered from his wounds. Still, he did what he could to care for his fellow Americans imprisoned with him. Recent media stories described how McCain and the other officers created a tapping code on the wall to communicate with each other. When one prisoner had a broken arm, McCain helped create a make-shift caste to care for him. Joseph Cognitore, commander of Post 6249 of the Rocky Point Veterans of Foreign Wars, who also served in Vietnam, summed up his feelings on McCain’s harrowing experience as a POW. “It was hard enough serving a yearlong tour fighting in Vietnam, let alone, being a prisoner of

Data suggests worrisome trends for LI’s water

Long Island’s water is facing a dangerous threat — not a mythical sea monster, but harmful and poisonous algal blooms. Recently released data showed the problem was more far reaching this summer than years past. The Long Island Clean Water Partnership, an advocacy collective supported by the Rauch Foundation, that includes members from Stony Brook University and the Long Island Pine Barrens Society headed by Dick Amper, released an annual water status report Sept. 25 that showed new harmful algal blooms in Port Jefferson, Northport and Huntington harbors and in North Shore ponds and lakes. “Every single water body across Long Island, be it the North Shore or the South Shore, East End, Suffolk County, Nassau County, all had significant water impairments during this time frame,” said Christopher Gobler, endowed chair of Coastal Ecology and Conservation at the Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. “We would call this a crisis.” The Island-wide study, which was conducted from May through September, showed Northport Harbor suffered a bloom of Dinophysis, a type of algae that releases a powerful neurotoxin that can affect shellfish. Both Northport and Huntington harbors showed a rash of paralytic shellfish poisoning in other marine life from eating shellfish. In May, shellfish fishing was temporarily banned in Huntington and Northport harbors by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation because of PSP. The harmful poison began to wane in June, Gobler said, and those bans have since been lifted, according to an automatic message put out by the state DEC. Stony Brook University’s Roth Pond has been experiencing for years summer blooms of poisonous blue-green algae, a type that is harmful to animals. This past summer the researchers saw the algae spread into neighboring Mill Pond in Stony Brook. In 2017, Suffolk County had more lakes with blue-green algal blooms than any other of the

64 counties in New York, according to the report. The summer also saw the rise of a rust tide in Port Jeff Harbor and Conscience Bay caused by another poisonous algae, which, while not dangerous to humans, is dangerous to marine life. Gobler said while it did not necessarily lead to fish kills along the North Shore, places like Southampton saw the deaths of tens of thousands of oysters and fish due to rust tide. If the problem persists, Port Jeff might start to see a fish die-off, which could have lasting implications to the local ecology. The algal blooms and hypoxia were both exacerbated by a particularly warm summer, a trend expected to continue due to climate change. In coming years, Gobler said he expects the number of dangerous algae to spread because of this trend. “We’re expecting that temperatures will rise 5 or 10 degrees this century, so we need to make changes or things will get significantly worse,” Gobler said. The prognosis looks grim, with multiple other places across Long Island experiencing harmful algal blooms, but the source is already well known. This year’s study cites heavy loads of nitrogen pollution from sewage and fertilizers as the ultimate source of the algal events, particularly the nitrogen waste from old cesspool systems leaking into local waters. Suffolk County and several state and local politicians have been advocating for changes, either for creating sewer systems — such as Smithtown’s projects in Kings Park, Smithtown Main Street and St. James — or by creating financing programs for property owners to overhaul waste systems. In 2014 Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) called nitrogen pollution the county’s “environmental public enemy No. 1.” Since then the county has worked with local scientists and engineers to craft technology that could replace Long Island’s old cesspool and septic tanks, but some of those replacement systems have been very cost prohibitive. Suffolk has made some grant money available to those interested in upgrading. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation in April that put $2.5 billion toward clean water protection and improving water in-

frastructure, including $40 million for the new sewer systems in Smithtown and Kings Park, and adding a rebate program for those upgrading outdated septic systems. Suffolk County and scientists from Stony Brook University are currently working on cheaper nitrogen filtration systems, but commercial availability of those systems could be years away. Kevin McDonald, the conservation project director at The Nature Conservancy, said that there is a strong impetus for all of Long Island to change its waste standards. “We are the nitrogen pollution capital of America,” McDonald said. “We can’t reverse climate change by ourselves, but with the right support and engagement and leadership we can aggressively respond to this problem at a faster pace than at present.” Many of these areas now experiencing algal blooms were only encountering hypoxia, or a depletion of dissolved oxygen in water necessary for sea life to survive, in the same report released back in summer 2017. Last year Mount Sinai Harbor was spared from severe hypoxia, but now has seen a decrease in necessary oxygen levels this past summer. Gobler said it wouldn’t be out of the question that Mount Sinai Harbor could experience a potentially dangerous algal bloom

next summer. One thing is for sure, according to Gobler: Long Island will experience more hypoxia and harmful algal blooms until new waste systems can catch up to the amount of nitrogen that’s already in the water. “Technology and governmental policies are rapidly changing to address our island’s water crisis, but we need to increase our pace of change,” said Adrienne Esposito, the executive director of the environmental advocacy group Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

Port Jeff School District looking for input on new athletics logo BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Port Jefferson School District sports teams may soon have a different look, but not before the community gets the opportunity to weigh in. The Port Jefferson Royals will still be clad in their signature purple and white for the foreseeable future, but the district is soliciting opinions in an online survey on two proposed logo rede-

signs. The current logo features block letter style white “P” and purple “J,” which are maintained in both redesign options in the survey, though one adds a purple crown sitting slightly tilted on the left side of the “P.” Both design options incorporate “Royals” in purple into the logo below the traditional “PJ.” The goal is to created a unified logo for all sports teams and off-field gear worn by parents, friends and team supporters, according to the in-

troduction to the survey. “By creating a unified logo, we hope to build on our school environment, school culture and school pride,” the introduction reads. The redesigns are from a combination of ideas used by various Port Jeff teams, according to a statement from the district. “We currently have different teams and organizations selling team/spirit wear with different logos,” the district statement through spokes-

woman Jessica Novins said. “We want to make the logo consistent regardless of the team, sport, or organization.” For now the new logo will be on apparel that student-athletes, faculty and parents purchase for their personal use, as there are no plans currently to replace actual on-field uniforms.

Opinion

Letters to the editor

Missing the point on sexual assault accusations

Your “Picking up speed” editorial published in the Sept. 27 issue makes sense. Long Island Rail Road President Philip Eng’s announcement at a recent MTA board meeting, that he would seek funding in the next MTA 2020-24 Capital Program to pay for both extending electrification on the Central Branch, running east of Hicksville on the Ronkonkoma line to Babylon, and look into the feasibility of doing the same on the Port Jefferson Branch. These are both great ideas worthy of consideration. Estimated costs for electrification are $18 million per mile. Electrification of the 7-mile Central Branch would provide additional options for thousands of riders from Babylon. They could travel from the Central Branch to Jamaica via the $2.6 billion Main Line Third Track. Electrification of the Central Branch could also afford creation of a new north/south “scoot” service, running

Editorial

We have hit the point as a society where it is near impossible to believe a definitive conclusion will be reached that will convince both sides of the political divide as to what happened between Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh in 1982. This is not to say we did not find Blasey Ford’s testimony under oath credible, but we wish the conversation could go in a different, more productive direction on parallel tracks with the predictable political mudslinging. Believe it or not, we see this moment and conversation as far more important than a single seat on the Supreme Court bench, as mind blowing as that may be for some partisans. The tenor of the national conversation following the hearing on the matter before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week is a perfect representation as to why people like Blasey Ford hold accusations back, sometimes for decades. As a country we need to take a step back and figure out why the knee-jerk reaction from so many when sexual assault or misconduct accusations come up is to find a reason to invalidate them. The #MeToo, #WhyIdidntreport and #TimesUp movements have moved the discussion undoubtedly in the right direction, but this week should serve as proof we still have a long way to go. Defining sexual assault and instilling a baseline of acceptable behavior — especially in young men, but all young adults — would be an extremely healthy first step. Legally the term is defined as any unwanted sexual contact. It seems simple when phrased that way, but because of the way rites of passage and coming of age are portrayed and depicted in our society, truly hearing and understanding a partner and being conscious of someone else’s comfort in a certain situation is likely far from the minds of young people in that situation. This should not be read as an excuse for people who cross the line into sexual assault — which is a crime — but rather a demand to be open to communication and self-reflection as a means to avoid perpetuating this type of behavior. If we can get our kids to a place of having that reaction, to look within and take up a dedication to learning from mistakes, instead of the knee-jerk deny, deny, deny, we’ll have taken a critical, if minimal, first step toward a healthier tomorrow for everyone. The U.S. Senate used to be a body looked to for leadership, a place where Americans use their democratic right to send our very best, and most objective, neutral arbiters. Anyone who watched the hearing would scoff at that notion in the present day. We can only hope that once the dust settles on this ugly chapter that body will resume its intended function and becomes a leader in this discussion, regardless of political persuasion.

Port Jeff line electrification is worth it from Huntington via Hicksville to Babylon. Electrification of the Port Jefferson Branch beyond Huntington has been proposed on and off for more than 50 years. In the 1980s, MTA and LIRR management decided to go forward with electrification of the Ronkonkoma line rather than on the Port Jefferson Branch. Completion of the proposed $12 million Port Jefferson Branch feasibility study by the end of 2019 would be a great first step. Eng, MTA senior management, board members and many others may not be aware of past history of this concept. Besides electrification of the Central and Port Jefferson Branch from Huntington to Port Jefferson (estimated $360 million), there is the need to do the same for the Montauk line from Babylon to Speonk ($360 million), on the Ronkonkoma line from Ronkonkoma to Yaphank ($120 million) and Oyster Bay to Mineola ($120

million). All five combined could easily cost more than $1 billion. This does not include several hundred million for a new storage yard on the Port Jefferson Branch between Huntington and Port Jefferson to support electric multiple-unit MU cars. Once East Side Access is completed by December 2023, all would provide support for a one-seat ride via electric MU cars for service to Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, making the LIRR more attractive to current and future new riders. Height restrictions in the 63rd Street Tunnel built decades before construction of the current East Side Access project, funded in 2006, prevent the LIRR from running duel-mode locomotives and double-decker coaches into Grand Central Terminal.

Justices need to be credible ‘beyond a doubt’ Michael Zelenak in his letter, “The central pillar of our legal system” published in the Sept. 27 issue has it wrong. Of course, in a court of law, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. But the Kavanaugh hearing was not a court trial. It was essentially a job interview. Even the very real dilemma of “guilt by accusation” doesn’t apply since this is a job interview and not a trial. Of course, it was a job interview for one of the most important positions in our democracy. And, of course Kavanaugh should be treated fairly. Nevertheless,

the essential question is not whether he is guilty of sexual assault. We will probably never have proof even with the sworn testimony of others and the FBI investigation which the Republican-controlled committee has been finally forced into by U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona), and is severely limited for political purposes. I suspect, I hope wrongly, that the FBI investigation was limited to protect Kavanaugh and provide cover for senators to vote for confirmation. The real question is whether we, the American people, via the Senate should

“employ” him in a lifetime position on the Supreme Court. It comes down to a judgment call. Since Dr. Ford’s testimony was entirely credible and since Judge Kavanaugh’s response was patronizing, belligerent, showing a sense of entitlement and even probably lying about his yearbook and drinking, I don’t think we should take a chance on him. I think the American people and the Supreme Court deserve a justice who is, beyond a doubt, a person who should be in that position. Adam D. Fisher Port Jefferson Station

The dual hearing of Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh is portrayed as a mere “he said/she said” with the result hinging on relative credibility. Both appeared credible. Many liars and deceivers appear credible. That is part of our sinful condition. As the Bible says, “The heart of man is deceitful and desperately corrupt; who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). And “There is none righteous, no, not one ... With their tongue they have practiced deceit” (Psalms 8:9, Romans 3:13). God repeatedly tells us in the Bible not to depend on credibility, but that all accusations must be corroborated by at least two witnesses (Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15-19; Matthew 18:16, Hebrews 10:28).

The Ford/Kavanaugh hearing is not a simple “he said/she said.” It’s a she accuses him of criminal behavior and he says she is mistaken and he holds no ill will against her and his family prays for her. That’s a big difference. All witnesses to the alleged event deny it occurred. Hundreds of witnesses to Kavanaugh’s life and character over decades unanimously speak well of him. None corroborates her testimony and no one attests to her lifetime of demonstrated good behavior or stability. The devil himself depends on credibility. Deception is his game. Jesus said of his accusers, “Your father the Devil was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth” (John 8:44).

The elephant in the room of the Ford/ Kavanaugh hearings was Roe vs. Wade: the “right” to murder, dismember and sell body parts and tissue of the most innocent, vulnerable and defenseless human beings, over half being young women. Liars and murderers are of the same pedigree and mutually supportive. So goes on the anything-goes, no-holds-barred, ends-justifies-the-means, euphemism-filled, media-academia-Democratic-Party-led attempt to perpetuate the American Holocaust. But I suspect the other side is the beneficiary of many more prayers.

Opinion

Seeking the best metaphor to describe the national mood

ith Washington leading the way, we have become a divided nation, bickering, ﬁghting, shouting and disagreeing as if we’re at a competing pep rally. What are we to do? Perhaps we need metaphors to turn the thermostat down. To start with the obvious, perhaps we are a nation of onions. No, we don’t give everyone bad breath D. None and, no, we don’t cause gas. We have of the above layers, as Shrek BY DANIEL DUNAIEF so famously described in his eponymous movie. The surface, which everyone sees, has a layer of anger and frustration, but peel back a few of those layers

and we’re filled with sympathy, empathy and concern for our friends and neighbors who, like us, are pursuing the American Dream. Sticking with the food metaphor, perhaps we’re a kitchen stocked with incredible ingredients trucked in from all over the country. You may never have been to Idaho, but I can assure you that the simple potato in that state is remarkable for its flavor and texture. While we have all these wonderful ingredients, perhaps we have a kitchen filled with too many cooks, who are changing recipes and oven temperatures so often that the food we’re baking will inevitably be unrecognizable and either vastly overcooked or undercooked. Then again, perhaps we’re an enormous cruise ship in the middle of a vast ocean. We’re slowly turning but, because we’re such a huge vessel, we move and change direction at a rate that’s hard to perceive, especially when landmarks are either too far away or are masked by an enveloping fog. Perhaps we’ve become a collection of angry

bees, buzzing loudly, perceiving threats from everywhere and everyone — even inside our own honey-producing hive. Are we truly threatened from within and without, facing insurrection among the ranks of other bees, or are we surrounded by majestic purple mountains? Are we creating such cacophony that we can’t hear the birds singing around us? We may be a batch of apples, looking suspiciously at the other fruit in the bin, wondering if any of us have turned bad, threatening the entire bunch. Maybe we’re on a roller-coaster ride, racing up and down, screaming and shouting as we circle tracks that we fear might need repair, hoping to return to where we were so we can regain our equanimity on solid ground again. Maybe we’ve become a boulder gathering size and momentum as it plunges down a hill. Our anger and frustration propel us forward, even as we ignore the kinds of moments and people who could, and should, unify a country. Have you been to a sporting event lately? I’m

not thinking of the athletes as unifying forces. I’m talking about the salutes to members of the military that often occur during the seventh-inning stretch in a baseball game or during a stoppage in the action in the middle of a hockey game. People throughout the stadium — those who think Trump is either a superstar or an imploding supernova — stand and cheer together, thanking these humble men and women for the sacriﬁce and service to our country. Those heroes among us are the few who might do the impossible, catching the boulder or slowing it down as it cuts a path of emotional destruction through an outraged nation. Then again, maybe the best metaphor to keep in mind amid the ﬁnger-pointing and criticism and self-doubt is the document that got us this far: the Constitution. It is the enduring net that protects the country and its citizens, even when we seem to be shadow boxing against each other on a high wire at the top of a circus tent.

with these particulars when they should be in bed asleep. When I asked, he told me his name and that he was from the 6th Precinct. My hostess instincts rushed to the fore. “Would you like some coffee or a sandwich?” He laughed. It was, after all, a preposterous exchange to be having in the dead of night. “No thank you, but here come the guys from PSEG, right behind the ﬁremen. They will take care of this quickly.” It wasn’t so quick. A courageous soul from PSEG Long Island went up in one of those extending arm buckets mounted on the truck alongside the burning pole to cut the electric wires. At the same time, the entire street was plunged into darkness, no doubt at the direction of the power company. “What caused such a reaction?” my neighbor asked a worker. “Who knows?” he replied with a shrug. “It could be a rodent or a squirrel chewing through the wires.” The responders were a gallant crew, seemingly unperturbed by the excitement. Between the ﬁre trucks and the PSEG trucks, there were interminable blinking lights

and radio noise for a couple of hours. The men went about their jobs in good humor, and when the lines were cut and the fire finally out, they promised to come back the next day. They were able to restore power to the rest of the block but, of course, not to us, before they left. To their great credit, the men were back with trucks by 9 a.m. the following morning. This surface crew dug up the burnt wires, installed a new pole alongside the charred one and reconnected the overhead wires. The underground crew arrived around midday and installed the other wires beneath the soil, laboring until well after dark under bright lights before they finished. By 9 p.m. we had our power back in our house but not the other services that are attached to the pole: cable and telephone. As of this writing, those services are promised shortly. Whatever we grouse about on the national level of our country, it is tremendously reassuring that on the local level we are remarkably well cared for. Three cheers for my helpful neighbors, the police, firemen and PSEG men.

Boom, boom, out go the lights

he lights went out just as I had finished the chapter, and was about to put down my book and go to bed. I looked at my watch, which shines in the dark, and noted that it was past 11 p.m. It was a clear night with no lightning or wind, was my first thought. Probably some driver ran into a telephone pole and disabled a transformer, my brain posited, trying to Between make sense of the you and me sudden blackness. BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF Then the loud noises began. In rapid succession, there was a series of what sounded like firecrackers going off somewhere on our street, close to our house. The acrid smell of smoke began to fill the air.

I briefly thought to go outside, then decided to wait a few minutes before bothering to fumble around for a robe or wake the rest of the house. Within minutes my neighbor across the street phoned. He looks directly at our property. And he said that the telephone pole right beside my driveway was on fire, flames and sparks coming out from the bottom.“We’ve called the fire department, and you seem to be in no immediate danger,” he reassured me. “They said they would be here directly. In fact, here comes a police car now. It’s beaten the fire truck.” Time to wake the house and go outside for a look, I decided, hoping not to trip over any obstacle on my way to the front door. The police car was in our driveway, his lights the only ones piercing the darkness. “What’s happened?” I yelled as he got out and slowly walked toward me. He didn’t want to trip over a tree root or a curb either. “Your telephone pole is burning but not to worry, the firemen will shortly have it under control,” he offered calmly, as if everyone deals
