Leaders concerned by campaign rhetoric speak out, taking action By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com The divisive and inflammatory nature of the 2016 presidential election has raised concerns across the country about Americans’ ability to “come together” now that the dust has begun to settle. One Suffolk County organization was concerned enough to send a letter to school districts with a warning for administrators and teachers. “We are concerned for the safety and well-being of the students of Suffolk County as we know you are as well,” the letter dated Nov. 10 from leaders of the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission and Anti-Bias Task Force read. “We are reaching out to ensure that all school climates are one where students feel safe and supported physically, emotionally and academically.” The Human Rights Commission has existed in Suffolk County since 1963 and it focuses on investigating claims of bias and discrimination. Rabbi Steven Moss has been the chairman of the organization for more than 20 years. He said they were compelled to write the letter in light of incidents, both local and across the country, that have been reported in the aftermath of Election Day. “I’m sure [people] realize bullying has occurred before the election and will continue onward,” Moss said in a phone interview. He said most incidents reported to the commission thus far have involved elementary-level students making references to deporting classmates. Moss said he believes incidents involving younger students can easily be traced

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is among those worried by the tone of the election and the effect it might have going forward.

back to conversations at home, and because of this the commission plans to send a similar letter to local Parent Teacher Associations in the hopes of spreading the conversation beyond classrooms. At Northport High School swastikas were drawn in spray paint on the walls of a theater storage room this week, according to Suffolk County Police. Moss said it is important for school administrators to act decisively and harshly with incidents like these, even if they fall short of constituting a crime, and Northport-East Northport Superintendent Robert Banzer is taking the action seriously. “Our primary objective as a school district is to educate our students in a safe and

respectful environment,” Banzer said in an email. He added an investigation is ongoing. “The recent events in our high school have challenged us and make us realize that, although our students participate in many opportunities to build a respectful and safe environment, work remains. Our high school principal Dan Danbusky is meeting with the student leaders to generate ideas about how best to address not only the recent incident but to help the school community further enhance dignity, respect and acceptance for all.” Banzer also said the administration plans to meet with local religious leaders to gather their input and insights and assess programs to help the district meet its goals of being a more inclusive school community. Port Jefferson Village organized a peaceful vigil that was held Nov. 20 at the Village Center designed to show community support for “all segments of society,” according to a press release. “In response to the fear and hurt felt by so many, Suffolk County needed the opportunity to show everyone our support and commitment to ensuring their freedoms, and to reassure them that they have a safe space here,” Cindy Morris, a Suffolk County resident and co-organizer of the event said in a statement. Moss said he is hoping much of the inflammatory conversation during the election season, especially from the campaign of President-elect Donald Trump (R), was rhetoric designed to dominate news cycles and spike polling numbers and eventually it will die down.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) shared many of the same concerns as Moss and the Human Rights Commission. He announced several actions Nov. 20 to protect civil rights and combat hate crimes in the state, including the creation of a State Police unit to investigate such crimes. He also plans to advance legislation that would expand protections of the state’s human rights law to all students, and to establish a legal defense fund to ensure immigrants have access to representation regardless of status. “New York is, and will always be, a place of acceptance, inclusion and a bastion of hope for all people,” Cuomo said in a statement. “We will never allow fear and intolerance to tear at the fabric of who we are.” The commission’s letter also called on school districts to share programs they already had in place designed to promote unity and togetherness. Some of those include a Gay/Straight Alliance, the AntiDefamation League’s No Place for Hate campaign, the No One Sits Alone Campaign and suicide awareness and prevention programs, to name a few. Banzer indicated Northport has several programs aimed at promoting inclusive school communities through unity and respect, and the district plans to continue that effort going forward. Those who have experienced incidents of hate or discrimination are encouraged to reach out to the Human Rights Commission by calling 631-853-5480 or emailing humanrights@suffolkcountyny.gov.

Ru Jurow was able to afford this new home with the help of a grant from Community Housing Innovations.

Grants available for first-time homebuyers By Guy SantoStEfano

For most, homeownership is a dream, and for many, it’s also a big challenge. For some Long Islanders, owning a home seems financially out of reach, but that’s where Community Housing Innovations can help. The cost of living continues to rise, while home and apartment rental costs make saving to buy a home nearly impossible. Lenders are now requiring larger down payments for many homebuyers — so a buyer seeking to land a modest $250,000 home on Long Island may need $25,000 cash up front, plus another $10,000 in closing costs. Saving $35,000 is not an easy task. But for those who qualify, help is available. Community Housing Innovations is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developmentsponsored agency that assists first-time buyers in meeting the challenges of homeownership. From homebuyer education classes to credit counseling, and down payment and closing cost assistance, the company’s staff have the ability, and most importantly, the financial resources to help buyers realize their dream. Grants earmarked for closing costs and down payments have averaged $25,000. Other programs offered through the nonprofit, in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, help a novice buyer arrange special savings accounts geared toward meeting down payment requirements. Andrea Haughton, the director for home ownership at Community Housing innovations, reports that since 1997, 31 homes on Long Island have been purchased through the program, which has bases in Patchogue, Hempstead and White Plains. For Ru Jurow, a graphic designer living

in Farmingville, this program was critical. A single mom, Jurow has been paying nearly $2,000 a month in rent and utilities for a small home in the Sachem school district. “I wanted to stay in the same school district, as I have two teen children, both honors students,” she said. “And after 10 years in the same rental, we really needed more space and privacy for the kids.” Jurow found a charming three bedroom, two bath home one mile from her current rental, and did a search on Google for grant programs for new homebuyers, coming across Community Housing Innovations’ website. She saw she met the requirements, and applied, receiving a $25,000 grant, which she said, must be split with 51 percent going toward renovations and upgrades, and 49 percent going toward closing and other costs. “Being able to buy a home allows my children and I to have a sense of permanency and security,” Jurow said. “With the purchase of our own home, we can feel pride.” According to Haugh— Ru Jurow ton, the grant is recorded on the home’s title as a second position lien for ten years. This encourages the owner to stay in the house and thus avoid paying penalties. Eligibility guidelines and other key information can be found on the organization’s website, www.chigrants.org, or by visiting their Patchogue offices. “All three of us are incredibly excited,” Jurow said of her family beginning its new journey. “My daughter has been planning how she will get to decorate her own room and can’t wait to have big sleepover parties with her friends in the finished basement. My son is looking forward to having a work-out room in the basement and I am a huge baker and cannot wait to get into that kitchen and cook up a storm.”

‘Being able to buy a home allows my children and I to have a sense of permanency and security.’

clockwise from above, the stony Brook University women’s soccer team drafted 4-year-old Rylie Laber; Rylie stretches with the team; and stony Brook head coach Brendan Faherty places a cap on Rylie’s head after she was drafted.

SBU soccer team drafts young Rylie Laber By Kevin Redding Kevin@tBRnewspapeRs.com On July 4, 1939, New York Yankees legend Lou Gehrig stood before 60,000 fans at Yankee Stadium and confirmed his diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and closed his statements by saying: “I might have had a tough break — but I have an awful lot to live for.” This sort of display of courage and determination in the face of great affliction is now being echoed by a 4-year-old girl named Rylie Laber, a student at Middle Country’s Bicycle Path Pre-K/Kindergarten Center, who loves to play soccer and takes great joy in learning new things in the classroom. Those who know her best describe her as energetic, loving, happy, competitive and sassy, with a great laugh. Her spirited personality serves as the ultimate remedy for the rare genetic disorder she’s suffered from since she was 6 months old. Called Shwachman Diamond Syndrome, the disorder causes bone marrow failure, pancreatic insufficiency, malabsorption of food and vitamins, and growth difficulties. For most of her life, Rylie’s day-to-day schedule has consisted of countless doctor and hospital appointments, infections, taking medications with every meal, bruising easily, mouth sores, and a lot of dehydration due to fevers. Even

see us, whether it’s at practice or a game, she’ll run right out on the field and give us all hugs.” For Balint, it was always important that Rylie be kept in the loop as to what was happening with her medically, rather than try to mask it, and said that she knows a lot more about her illness than a 4 year old should. At school, she stays on top of all the medication she needs to take and makes sure that she’s using her own crayon box, to avoid coming in contact with others’ germs, and even a small cold could wipe her out for three weeks straight. Being on the team is Rylie’s incentive to keep herself in tip-top shape, especially since she’s going to be part of the team again next year. “Sometimes, I sort of use it as a bargaining chip,” Balint said. “If she won’t do something that she has to do, I’ll say to her ‘you think your team would like that?’” In fact, the team has such an effect on her that she’s even developed a variety of superstitions once it’s game time. “She has to wear the strings out of her shorts,” Balint said, “and she’s gotta wear her red jersey to school and white jersey to the game. Right before every single game, she runs to the coach with a package of Scooby Doo fruit snacks and he has to eat them. It’s been her little superstitious tradition now.”

Rotary honors PJMS student Port Jefferson Rotary Club welcomed and honored 6th grader Olivia Schlegal as Port Jefferson Middle School’s Most Motivated Student of the Month Nov. 15. Olivia was accompanied to the luncheon by her parents Terri and Eric and her social studies teacher Melissa Corey, in addition to a contingent of school district Rotarians including PJMS Principal Bob Neidig, Superintendent Paul Casciano and Assistant Superintendent for Business Sean Leister. Neidig introduced Olivia and praised her for her tremendous academic standing — a GPA in the high 90s — as well as for being a hard worker with a positive attitude. She was also nominated for kindheartedness and her willingness to volunteer. According to her science teacher, who has known this student since her entrance into the Gifted and Talented program in third grade, she was the “go to” student to help run Scraggy News every Friday. Olivia is completely reliable, going above and beyond with her schoolwork, consistently achieving superior grades, while taking the initiative to help other students who are having difficulty, and doing so in a kind way.

Rotary and Read-to-Me

PJ students hold food drive To help those in need within their community, Edna Louise Spear Elementary School students held a Thanksgiving food drive. The annual food drive, which is organized through the Port Jefferson School District’s guidance department, resulted in the collection of enough nonperishable goods to help 10 local families.

The Rotary Club of Port Jefferson takes great pride in its ongoing Read-To-Me literacy project, which is centered at St. Charles Hospital. With the goal of encouraging a lifetime of reading as early as possible, each new mother that utilizes St. Charles’ Maternity Facility is presented with a newborn reading packet before leaving the hospital. The mother and family are reminded that reading aloud to the baby every day helps it to become a good reader and student. The Rotary Club and St. Charles have

partnered in this project and include in each literacy packet a first book for baby; a brochure prepared by the Comsewogue Public Library’s Children & Youth Services Department that explains and suggests appropriate books and music to be introduced at various stages of a child’s development; a Card Your Baby flier, encouraging the creation of a public library membership for the infant; and offering information about library programs offered for babies, toddlers and their caregivers, among other things.

Her father Raymond added that his daughter tends to pull out her best performances when the pressure is on. “The feeling of watching your kids work hard at something and then being successful, there’s no way to describe it,” Sommerstad said. “It’s the best feeling that I’ve had in my life. To get the results when you work like that is very nice to see.” This year, Kyra finished 13th in the intermediate medley and 15th in the backstroke. “I didn’t do as good as I wanted to, but I looked forward to being there, and making finals again was still exciting,” she said. Her coach said he has enjoyed getting the time to grow with and learn about his young swimmer. “As a coach, I develop a really close connection with a lot of them,” Anderson said. “You learn their strengths, weaknesses, how to get them motivated for a swim, how to calm them down after a bad swim, so it’s been a really great learning experience for me, and I’ve got to know Kyra the past couple of months. I’m starting to go with her to some very big swim meets, and it has been a lot of fun.” He’s excited to see where the future will take his swimmer. “She’s always willing to learn, she’s always listening, she takes criticism and compliments and any stroke techniques really well, and she translates it,” he said. “She works hard and always comes into practice with a smile on her face, and you can see the results of that pay off at her

meets. She’s certainly motivated enough to get to any level of competition she wants to. The sky’s the limit for her.” Kyra said she’s just enjoying the ride and all that the sport has given her so far. “Swimming is pretty much my life right now,” she said. “I do it after school every day. It helps me digest everything that happened throughout the day, or to just think about stuff or clear my mind. I think swimming is both a mental and physical sport. You have to have the determination and confidence going into a race, and you have to be able to practice well and train hard in order to achieve your goals. And I’m doing that.”

You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. G.Q. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

For some, Donald Trump’s victory was an answer to prayers.

File photo by Victoria Espinoza

Reverend: America has spoken, and enough is enough File photo

Turkey is not the only thing the TBR staff is thankful for this year.

Many reasons to give thanks As we approach Thanksgiving our editorial staff want to reflect on what reasons, small and big, we have to be thankful for this year.

Victoria Espinoza, editor of the Times of Huntington and Times of Smithtown

I’m thankful for my immigrant father, who came from Colombia and chose to make a life in the United States, thus giving me a life here. I’m thankful for my mother who married that Colombian “nutjob” and raised me right because she’s one hell of a woman. And most importantly I’m thankful for my Xbox, which is one of the most beautiful inventions ever made and I will never live without one again and I love it.

Desirée Keegan, managing editor, sports editor

I’m thankful for a great World Series, especially with the Chicago Cubs coming out on top; Vice President Joe Biden’s memes that provide much-needed pick-me-ups; and John Mayer’s “Room for Squares” album.

Donna Newman, editor of the Village Times Herald

I am thankful for my grandchildren because they are the best! Max, Arlo, Ellis and Henry bring me more joy than anyone could imagine; reasonably good health because it makes life so much more enjoyable as the years go by; and opportunities that fall into your lap at unexpected moments that keep you on your toes and encourage you to grow.

Alex Petroski, editor of the Port Times Record

I’m thankful for my mom’s stuffing and mashed potatoes; that since I replaced Elana Glowatz as the editor of the Port Times Record it hasn’t yet burst into flames; and Jacob DeGrom.

Kevin Redding, reporter

I’m thankful for my lovely girlfriend and supportive family, my new job at this excellent paper and popcorn.

Your postelection editorials illustrate just how myopic and monolithic journalists are these days. The pervasive shock and dismay, anxiety and apoplexy over Donald Trump’s election are unhinged and undisguised. As for me, I feel intense relief. Relief that we are spared life under a would-be president whose corruption, mendacity, criminality and blood-stained hands have been journalistically denied, ignored, excused, minimized and enabled for decades. Relief that we may soon no longer be led by those using the Saul D. Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” playbook

fraught with fraud and fomenting divisiveness, chaos and revolution with the only moral — actually amoral — compass being whatever grabs, holds and exercises power. And you now recommend Barack Obama for the Supreme Court as a “constitutional scholar?” One who has done all he could get away with to undermine, circumvent and distort the constitution? Amazing. The mainstream media, entertainment industry and snooty academia have colluded with big government to enforce so-called “progressive” propaganda and

political correctness — with nothing but “Christophobic” and “Bibliophobic” disdain for the traditional beliefs and morals that have been the foundation and vitality of America — that have been going on so long, so emboldened and finally so blatantly and destructively that enough Americans were able to penetrate the fog and say “enough is enough.” That in itself is a deus ex machina and act of God’s mercy.

The Rev. Ronald Stelzer Our Savior Lutheran Church and New American School Centereach

In response to a concerned immigrant With a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. In response to Mr. Espinoza’s unhappiness with our nation in which he resides (letter Nov. 10, “An immigrant’s reaction to the

presidential results”), allow me to quote: “I am still puzzled over how I feel about belonging to a place that I can call home, while haven’t really felt patriotic here” while looking for a better future. With the dilemma of a “better future,” I would suggest Mr. Espinoza revisits the land of his

birth, Colombia, and compare our “land of the free and the home of the brave.” America may not be perfect, but we are a far better nation than all others. Common sense: Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. God bless America.

Leonard Henderson Port Jefferson

To those who voted for Donald Trump Let me start by saying that I did not vote for Mr. Trump but I very much hope that he will be an excellent president. I hope that most Americans did not vote for him because of his racist and sexist language and actions, but rather in spite of them. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to share recent stories of hatred committed by and on fellow Americans that can only be attributed to Mr. Trump’s rise to power. • Lehigh Valley, PA: high school students yelling gay slurs and Nwords in the halls, calling black students cotton pickers using “Heil Hitler” salutes.

• Santa Monica, CA: Gay man beaten and sent to hospital. • Brooklyn: Man passes a woman Muslim wearing scarf, says “Your time is up sweetie.” • Plano East High School, TX: group of boys rip off a girl’s hijab. • Shasta High School Redding, CA: White students hand out “deportation letters” to Latino students. • Wellsville: Baseball dugout spray painted “Make America White Again” with swastika. These are but a small sample of the hateful actions reported in the first 24 hours after Trump was announced president-elect. I worry that this is only the beginning.

I hope that many of you who supported Mr. Trump are as nauseated by these actions as I am, and I hope you will join me in fighting this hatred. We must display and acknowledge the inherent worth and dignity of every human being, regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, etc. We must heed the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We should celebrate the diversity among us. May kindness prevail over hatred.

opinion A naughty and nice Thanksgiving list

I

’m going to blend the holidays, and make a naughty and a nice list of those things for which I’m thankful. I’ll start with the nice. I’m thankful for inspirational teachers. Every day, some teachers devote so much time and energy to their work that they ignite a passion for learning, a curiosity or a determination in their students that has the potential to pay dividends for decades. An inspired student reflects and emanates an educational light that, By Daniel Dunaief in turn, can have a multiplier effect, encouraging their siblings, their friends and even their parents to learn and grow. I’m thankful for the police who

D. None of the above

patrol our streets and who protect and serve us. They can and do tackle everything from delivering a baby on the Long Island Expressway to racing toward reports of someone with a weapon. I’m also thankful for the firefighters, who rescue people trapped in burning buildings and who suffer through cold wind, rain and snow while doing their job. I’m thankful for all the soldiers who, regardless of which president is in office, accept their responsibility and protect America’s interests wherever they serve. I’m thankful for the scientists who dedicate themselves, tirelessly, to the pursuit of basic knowledge about everything from quarks and neutrinos, to the researchers who are on a mission to cure cancer, to understand autism, or to defeat fungi or viruses that threaten the quality and quantity of our lives. I’m thankful for the sanitation workers who appear during the wee hours

of the morning, clear out our garbage and move on to the next house. I’m thankful for the First Amendment. I’m grateful that our Founding Fathers decided we have the right not to remain silent. Our constitution guarantees us the kind of free speech that allows us to express our views, even if those opinions are contrary to those of our government or our neighbors. OK, here’s the nasty list. I’m thankful for the Internet, which prevents anyone from being wrong about anything, ever. Well, information on the Internet may also be inaccurate, but who cares? If it’s there and we repeat it, at least we’re echoing something someone else wrote, even if that person is an 8-year-old who is just learning to type and is posting something that looks like it could be right. I’m thankful for all those people who honk at me when I don’t hit the accelerator the moment the light turns green. They remind me I should be efficient for all of our sakes and that I could be doing something much more

important, like looking up stuff on the Internet rather than sitting at a light. I’m thankful I can roll my eyes in my head. How else could I deal with those events around me that I find insufferable, from listening to our political leaders rip into each other to engaging in arguments with people who know better and can show me all the information they use to back up their arguments on the Internet. I’m thankful for the rain and the cold and the snow. OK, so this is in between a naughty and nice one, because I believe varied weather presents something for everyone. Sure, people don’t tend to like it when the temperature falls too far, but I enjoy the cold. Besides, the winter provides a contrast to seasonable weather. Finally, I’m thankful for prognosticators of all types, including the recent ones who seemed so sure of themselves about the results of the election. They are a reminder that sure things don’t exist in any arena, even those with a preponderance of pontificators.

Differing opinions across the Thanksgiving table

T

hanksgiving is arriving at the right time. With so much to be thankful for, it should be hard to remember one’s passions about the outcome of the recent presidential election. Yet there is talk about families who are calling off their Thanksgiving reunions around grandma’s richly laden table because they don’t want to talk politics with relatives who were on the “other” side. By Leah S. Dunaief What a travesty, as if anything were more important or enduring than the safety net of family. People have a right to think differently, even if they are related. There is, after all, no accounting for the distribution of genes, and anyway that’s not important in the scheme of things. What is important is the love family members feel for

Between you and me

each other and the security that they have each other’s backs. If that is not the relationship one has with one’s family, I guess differing political opinions are a good enough reason to break off what was a meaningless business of just going through the kinship motions to begin with. Even though the present situation is not nearly as dire, I am reminded of the Civil War or the War Between the States, which pitted brother against brother on the battlefield. That was a tragedy of deepest proportions. Right now, we are merely dealing with the outcome of an election whose consequences are perhaps feared or cheered but have not been actualized. If matters do get worse in our nation, we are going to need each other all the more to manage. And if they get better, then we can all cheer together. Let’s wait and see — and break bread together, treasuring the love that binds us rather than the rhetoric that divides us. As we go forward, we should remain vigilant about what is happening in our country and speak truth to those in power. The end of the

election, at long last, is but the beginning of the next chapter. We have the right, as Americans, to speak our minds and expect those who represent us to hear us. Indeed, we have the obligation to remain active in our society, letting our lawmakers know how we feel even as we set an example of staying informed and engaged for our children and grandchildren. What we should take great care to do, however, is work to separate fact from fiction. Communication in today’s world is infinitely more complicated than when our founding patriots read newspapers to learn what was happening. And even then, they had to be sure whose words they were reading and whether the writers could be trusted. By comparison today, there are so many different vehicles claiming to give the “facts.” Newspapers, radio and TV networks have been joined by cable, the Internet and dangerously, social media, where anyone can say anything without the benefit of fact-checking and their words can be transmitted to literally millions of people. This is how jihadists woo recruits.

This is also how politicians’ supporters win voters. So how can one tell if what one is reading is fact? The answer is obvious but hard. We must use that same Internet to check out what we have read on social media, not just assume that what we are told is correct because it comes from a good friend or loved one. Facts must be corroborated by multiple news sources, not just by opinions. Indeed, the more dramatic an assertion, the more likely it will be published in many places, not just on Facebook or Twitter. Also, we need to talk with more than each other, by which I mean those with similar views. We need to talk to people on the “other” side of issues and ideology. At the least, we may learn how they come to the conclusions they do. And maybe we can hear something we might agree with, creating a bridge and not a wall. Some of those we talk with might even be our relatives. But that brings me back to grandma’s dining room table: Wait until everyone has finished and enjoyed dinner first before discussions commence. Happy Thanksgiving!
