BY JIM HASTINGS DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

“It’s going to affect us as a country, because we can’t have someone just bow to another. We allow that to happen in one portion of the world, then everybody’s going to think, ‘Well, we can do that too.’ We have to step up as a world, whether they’re part of NATO or not. We have to do what’s right for the people. After what we’ve been through in the world in the last two or three years, we have to humble ourselves and look at each other as people.”

“It’s pretty senseless. It just seems like there’s no real reason to be doing this.

We’re getting to a stage where, through social networking and all that, the world’s becoming that much more interconnected and it’s like, we can feel each other’s pain.

County ethics board evaluates police union donations to political campaigns

BY RAYMOND JANIS DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Suffolk County Board of Ethics issued an advisory opinion Feb. 16 regarding campaign contributions from police unions to elected officials.

In May 2021, county Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) requested an opinion regarding donations made by the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association to the campaign of former District Attorney Tim Sini (D). Trotta asked the board whether Sini, or any other elected official, could accept a donation exceeding the $5,000 limit imposed by New York State election law 14-116.

“This board opines that if an elected official accepts contributions from a police union or any political action committee that have been made in violation of election law 14116, a violation of the Suffolk County code of ethics would occur,” the board wrote, adding that “a definitive ruling … falls solely within the province of the New York State Board of Elections and/or a court of law.”

The board concluded that the donation created an “appearance of impropriety” due to the unique relationship between a prosecuting attorney and the police department.

The PBA has pushed back against these charges. In an email, PBA president Noel DiGerolamo defended the union’s involvement in the election and accused Trotta of making false allegations.

“Last year, Legislator Trotta made false

allegations about the PBA’s election activities.

Every other agency in the state has rejected his nefarious claims,” DiGerolamo said. “The recent decision by the Suffolk County Board of Ethics, even if valid, does not even suggest any wrongdoing by the PBA.” Trotta, who was a police officer with Suffolk County Police Department for 25 years, said he sees an unhealthy arrangement between the county government, police department and police unions “The reason why other law enforcement agencies didn’t do anything is because they took hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars from this union,” he said. “It’s corrupting the government and it’s making it unaffordable for anybody to live here.”

According to DiGerolamo, the PBA has donated to political campaigns for decades. He said these donations have fully complied with all state and federal election laws.

“The Suffolk County PBA has been 100% compliant with all rules and regulations regarding political contributions,” he said. “We have supported candidates in every political party for decades and will continue to do so.”

Trotta argues the existing practice of donating is precisely the problem. He claims that he and two others are the only elected officials in county government who do not accept police union money.

DiGerolamo said the BOE does not have authority to interpret federal or state election law. He viewed the advisory opinion as a significant jurisdictional overreach.

“The advisory opinion is a tremendous overreach of the board’s authority,” DiGerolamo said. “It attempts to supersede federal and state law and undermine the democratic process. This unethical opinion cannot be allowed to stand.”

According to DiGerolamo, the PBA intends to clear its name of any wrongdoing. He said the PBA will exhaust all legal options necessary to defend itself and the voting rights of police officers.

“The Suffolk County PBA will seek all legal remedies available to ensure law

enforcement’s hardworking men and women are not disenfranchised from the election process,” he said.

Last November, Sini lost his reelection bid to incumbent District Attorney Raymond Tierney (R). Trotta said he is optimistic that Tierney can root out corruption and restore electoral integrity in Suffolk County.

“I’m counting on the new Suffolk County district attorney to enforce the laws,” Trotta said. “I’m very confident he will.”

Sini could not be reached for comment.

Ukrainians of Long Island respond to Putin’s illegal war

BY CAROLYN SACKSTEIN DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Ukrainian and Russian émigrés, Ukrainian-Americans, local elected officials and Long Islanders of various political stripes demonstrated their support for the defense of Ukrainian sovereignty and against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s illegal war initiated in the wee hours of Feb. 24 against Ukraine.

While some people rally together in their support for Ukraine, others find their way to church sanctuaries to offer prayers for the safety of Ukrainian soldiers and citizens, who are also taking up arms in defense of their homeland.

Anna Konny, from Vinnytsia, Ukraine, a dental hygienist and U. S. citizen, who lives in Woodmere, attended a rally in Lindenhurst at Babylon Town Hall with her aunt, Nataliya Soliternik, who lives now in Hewlett.

Konny, draped in the Ukrainian flag, was a vocal advocate for those defending Vinnytsia, a city in west-central Ukraine. She has been able to stay in touch with family and friends who are still in Ukraine by using free calling cards provided by Verizon, T-Mobile and other major communication carriers.

The dental hygienist showed photos of families using subway stations and basements of municipal buildings as bomb shelters. She claimed these shelters are also being used at night by saboteurs and Russian infiltrators as they hide among the patriots they seek to destroy. By day, these infiltrators use luminous paint to paint the roofs of buildings, barricades and other locations to be targeted during nighttime bombings and artillery shelling.

Long Islanders gathered at Babylon Town Hall, above, to show support for Ukrainians. Suffolk County Legislator Kevin McCaffrey, below right, was on hand for the rally.

Photos by Carolyn Sackstein

Konny advocates for weapons and ammunition to be sent to those fighting from World War I-style trenches surrounding the cities and towns. Someone in the crowd asked if she feared reprisals. Konny’s answer was a firm, “No. If these photos get back to Ukraine, I want my friends and family to know that I stand with them.”

Suffolk County Legislator Kevin M c C a f f r e y (R-Lindenhurst), presiding officer of the Legislature, saw Konny and came over to hear her pleas for aid, both military and medical first aid materials.

After speaking with Konny, McCaffrey addressed the

crowd to resounding applause. “It is appalling what Vladimir Putin is doing, how he is attacking a sovereign nation like Ukraine,” he said. “It makes us wonder who is next.

The Ukrainian people have done nothing to incur the wrath of Vladimir Putin. All of us are encouraged by the fight of the Ukrainian people, who are standing against this aggression. I believe the U.S. should do more to stand up for the Ukrainian people.”

Janet Byler, from Huntington, has children serving in the U. S. Army based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. She felt compelled to attend the rally to support those serving with NATO forces in Europe. Mark Czachor, of West Babylon, said, “Every American should be supporting Ukraine’s fight. As long as we don’t give up, Putin can’t win.”

On Friday, Feb. 25, the Rev. Bohdan Hedz of St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in Riverhead opened the sanctuary to a resident of Texas, who was born and raised in the Riverhead area. He had returned recently to care for his very elderly parents. He had missed the service which had been celebrated earlier that day but was welcomed by Bohdan to pray in the quiet and intimate sanctuary. Unafraid of reprisals, the gentleman, who wished

anonymity for personal privacy reasons, spoke of marrying his Ukrainian wife in Kyiv.

“My wife would leave today to take up arms,” he said. “The world is called to speak and to act. Ukraine will fight!”

During this conversation, a woman from the congregation of St. John the Baptist R.C. Church in Wading River came in with an offering of a bouquet of red roses and a prayer. It was her way of giving support to the local Ukrainian community.

Hedz and his congregation have been raising funds and material support for Ukrainian defense since the Russian invasion of the country in 2014 that resulted in the annexation of Crimea. Hedz expressed the belief that “Putin will not stop at Ukraine.”

With this greater invasion into the whole of Ukraine, Hedz said the defenders of Ukraine need warm winter clothing, personal hygiene medications such as pain relievers, cold and flu treatments, and first aid supplies for treating wounds.

Donations can be dropped off any time at St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church located at 820 Pond View Road, Riverhead. If the sanctuary doors are locked, one may call the reverend at 631-727-2766.

STOP THE BIG PHARMA SCAM. LOWER Rx PRICES. New Yorkers are paying more than three times what people in other countries pay for the same prescription drugs. It’s outrageous. Drug companies continue to raise their prices and boost their profits while we’re getting ripped off.

Governor Hochul and our state legislators must take action to lower prescription drug prices by: • Expanding access to New York’s Medicare Savings Program to help more seniors reduce their out-ofpocket drug costs and other medical expenses • Putting an end to shady pay-for-delay deals that drug manufacturers use to delay access to lower-cost generic drugs

Tell Governor Hochul and your legislators to stop the big Pharma scam and lower drug prices now.

Call 844-641-2455 and urge them to make prescription drugs more affordable. facebook.com/AARPNY | @AARPNY | aarp.org/NY

After Cyclone Emnati, SBU’s Wright seeks donations to feed people in Madagascar

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Stony Brook University distinguished professor and award-winning scientist Patricia Wright has been traveling back and forth to Madagascar for over 34 years to study the charismatic lemurs on the island nation off the southeastern coast of Africa.

Recently, Wright was in Madagascar when Tropical Cyclone Emnati struck the nation, tearing roofs from homes, destroying crops and polluting drinking water.

“The actual howling of the wind was very eerie,” said Wright in an interview a few days after returning from Madagascar. “The river is right beneath the station and it was scary to watch it go from white water rapids, into roiling coffee-colored water. Every 15 minutes, you could notice a difference” in the flooded waters.

Wright, her daughter Amanda Wright Poston, who is a project manager with the Woodwell Climate Research Center, and PhD candidate Amanda Rowe are seeking donations through WISE Tropics.

Created in 2020, WISE Tropics, which stands for Wright’s Institute for Science & Environment, has numerous goals, including saving lemurs, planting new rainforests and helping people in Madagascar and other tropical countries that have high biodiversity and high poverty.

In response to Tropical Cyclone Emnati, which is the fourth cyclone to hit Madagascar this year, WISE Tropics is trying to raise $20,000 from donors to provide food for people whose crops were destroyed by the storm.

“People are displaced from their homes and they are really hungry,” Wright said. “The crops are gone: they are washed away.”

Wright said she hoped to buy as many as 100 bags of 50 kilograms of rice, plus beans, sugar and salt that could support communities around Ranomofana National Park, which provides the nearby setting for research through Stony Brook’s Centre ValBio. She hopes to raise enough money that she can provide additional food every two weeks for the next two months.

A week after Emnati, residents of Madagascar were also struggling with contaminated drinking water, which was causing diarrhea.

Wright said she hasn’t seen this level of devastation to Madagascar in about a decade.

She hopes Long Islanders support those struggling after a spate of storms disrupted their lives and threatened their futures.

“Long Islanders are very generous when it comes to donating for disasters,” Wright said.

“We had Sandy ourselves. We can make this

island to island connection.”

Wildlife on Madagascar, like endangered lemurs, are often able to survive during natural disasters.

Lemurs move close to the center of trees and lower down to avoid the strong winds, Wright described. While she has seen lemurs

who died amid storms, many survive by finding natural protection.

Wright recognizes that the number of crisis points in the world has grown, with refugees and survivors leaving their homes in Ukraine amid Russia’s armed attack and amid flooding in parts of Australia.

SBU shelters film crew in Madagascar during cyclone

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF While filming a documentary called “Making Pandemics” that addresses the need to preserve biodiversity to protect human health, director Marie-Monique Robin, actress Juliette Binoche and their crew took shelter at Stony Brook’s Centre ValBio in Madagascar during Cyclone Emnati.

The film team, which has been traveling to five continents and spoke to 20 scientists, concluded its filming by discussing the African island nation of Madagascar with Stony Brook University Distinguished Professor Patricia Wright.

“Making Pandemics” will be shown during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland at the end of May. Wright hopes to attend, where she believes the audience of government and international leaders

could present a “real opportunity” for her to share her experience.

“We have to change some of these attitudes and change our ways to make our planet sustainable,” Wright said in an interview.

While in Madagascar, the film crew addressed a host of issues, including reforestation.

Filming during a cyclone “made it dramatic and appropriate” Wright said.

Wright, whose work on lemurs was the subject of the 2014 IMAX movie “Island of Lemurs: Madagascar,” enjoyed her interaction with Binoche, who has appeared in films including “Chocolat” and “Dan in Real Life.”

“She’s so down to earth and is really interested and knowledgeable about planetary health and conservation,” Wright said. “She’s funny and charming.”

One of the lessons she’s learned from working with people in Madagascar amid past disasters is that donations sometimes meet the immediate need but don’t always provide enough sustained support.

Origins of WISE

Amanda Poston said they established WISE Tropics to give donors who wanted to give 100% of their gifts directly to specific efforts.

“We created this so we could really have them participate in these on-the-ground projects,” Poston said.

Before the cyclones hit, donors had contributed to reforestation efforts and lemur research, which is at the heart of what Patricia Wright studies.

“People who are interested in Ranomofana and have a connection to Madagascar are able to help” through these donations, Poston said.

WISE Tropics has almost no overhead, which means that donations go directly to the intended recipients.

At this point, the need to help the Malagasy people get food and shelter is high, as the island nation recovers from storms that have closed off roads and demolished bridges.

Poston, who spent a good part of her childhood in Madagascar, said the Malagasy “respect [her mother] and are amazed at her continuous contributions to their country.”

Tigers down Bulls

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Bulls of Smithtown West broke out to a 14-point lead in the first eight minutes of play in the Suffolk Class AA semi-final against the Tigers of Northport, but the advantage would be short lived. Northport found its rhythm in the closing minute of the half, tying the game at 23 and took a seven-point lead into the locker room at Eastport-South Manor high school Feb. 26.

Northport’s swarming defense would seal the deal in the second half to close out the game, 62-50, and with it advance to the championship final.

Smithtown West senior Patrick Burke was pounded in the paint to lead his team with 21 points, and teammate Tyler Anderson netted 11.

Northport junior Brendan Carr drained six three-pointers, three from the floor and four free throws to lead the Tigers with 28 points. Senior Nick Watts followed with 14 points, and J.J. Ahlstrand, also a senior, banked nine.

The win lifts the Tigers to 16-1 this season, and they will face Half Hollow Hills East Saturday, Mar. 5, at Smithtown East high school at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at gofan.co/app/ school/NYSPHSAAXI. Pictured clockwise from above right, Northport junior Brendan Carr drains a threepointer; Northport senior Dylan J.J. Ahlstrand rebounds; Northport senior Nick Watts drives the lane; Smithtown West senior Joseph Mitchell drives the baseline; and Northport senior forward Dylan McNaughton boxes out.

Rufus gets along with both people and other animals. Doesn’t he deserve a chance to have stability and love and all those things a loving home could give him?

Editorial

A new focus

As COVID-19 infection rates and deaths begin to decline, more attention to the pandemic’s effect on mental health is needed.

In “Amid declining COVID infections, worry about mental health remains” by Daniel Dunaief featured in the Feb. 24 TBR News Media newspapers and online, Dr. Gregson Pigott, commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, cited two Centers of Disease Control and Prevention studies.

The research shows that the children’s mental health crisis alone has gotten worse during the pandemic. The CDC’s Household Pulse Survey also shows 39.2% of people nationally aged 18 to 29 had indicators of anxiety or depression between Jan. 26 and Feb. 7 of this year. As the group members increased in age, the percentage decreased, with 9.3% of those 80 years and above reporting mental health issues.

We have heard many times throughout the pandemic that the isolation and precautions needed to slow down the infection rate could increase anxiety and depression in people. At a press conference last week, held at the Smithtown Senior Center, elected officials discussed the importance of seniors returning to the activities they love and spending time with family and friends, which is vital for their overall well-being.

People need interactions with others to stay healthy and have someone to remind them that they are a good person and that the world is a better place with them in it. As we begin to remove our masks, it’s time to smile again and have conversations with those we encounter in our everyday lives.

Understandably, getting the virus under control during the height of the pandemic was a priority. Now, it’s more important than ever to talk about mental health and stop sweeping things under the carpet.

For most people, that could mean checking in with loved ones.

Even if an in-person visit isn’t an option for some right now, a phone call or text message can make a difference.

While it was innovative and necessary to hold doctors’ visits, including those with psychiatrists and therapists, over Zoom during the pandemic, this is not the best option for everyone. Just as some students don’t do well with remote learning, many people don’t respond well to remote therapy.

Sometimes a person needs a one-on-one conversation face-toface, not only with someone who isn’t judging them or doesn’t have an agenda, but also a professional who can see if they are making eye contact or fidgeting or not responding well to medication.

Sometimes body language needs to be read to see if a patient is being truthful or just going through the motions.

While a conversation with a mental health professional is always a wise thing to do — whether in person or online — sometimes, for the real work to be done, it needs to be one-on-one in an office. So, if you need it, don’t hesitate to ask for an office visit. Most therapists are beginning to offer them again.

During the pandemic, people learned new ways of doing things to stay healthy, and some of those ways may be better. But meeting up with a friend and talking while eating or drinking coffee, or sitting on the couch in a therapist’s office — truly connecting — that can’t be beaten.

Letters to the Editor Truth under attack

We have all been bombarded with an overload of information from media outlets spewing false narratives in order to push a “leftist ideology” that history shows has destroyed countries and peoples’ lives.

Lies, lies, lies … with no apologies when facts are exposed. They are not news operations but propaganda machines. You would think after the “Russia collusion debacle” that was atrocious to our country they would do some recalibrating. This complicit media is undermining our country with constant sound bites that are lies, stalking the flames of division. All you need to do is flip TV channels and they are all in sync with destructive narratives working on dividing American citizens. Don’t you want to know who is behind this pack?

What else is under attack? The nuclear family. Marx believed, like religion, the nuclear family interfered with the kind of social ideological brainwashing to achieve the Marxist “paradise.” You see, Marxism, communism, Nazism all have a common bond … they leave no room for God hence, the attack on our JudeoChristian values that have built America.

People with a biblical worldview are being demonized as bigots and racists.

This radical left side that has “hijacked” our Democratic party viciously attack and defame one’s character and as a result we are losing freedom of our First Amendment right … people are being shut down, taken off of social media and characters debased.

Frederick Douglass had a great idea. He said, “It is in substance, ‘Righteousness exalteth a nation’” (Proverbs 14:34). This verse has been cited by both political and religious leaders through the years. Whether and in what condition America will continue to exist into the future is completely dependent on how strongly citizens will embrace and apply Proverbs 14 in both their private and civic lives. In all of life, actions matter more than feelings. Our “feelings based” culture is killing us.

“How do you feel?” has been substituted for “Is it right or is it wrong?” This woke thinking brings an end to ethics.

Let’s not seek a Democratic answer or a Republican answer but a “right” answer to this discord and chaotic worldwide leadership crisis. Whether you agree or not, being a believer in God, agnostic or atheist, America was founded upon the Bible with a holy “dedication” to God. Facts matter.

Biden’s record of failure remains unblemished

Robert Gates spent many years in the CIA and served as the secretary of defense in the Barack Obama [D] administration from 2009 to 2011, with Joe Biden (D) as vice president. In the respected opinion of Gates, he believed Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” This assessment first appeared in a book authored by Gates and was confirmed in his recent “60 Minutes” CBS television interview with Anderson Cooper, who has never been accused of being either a conservative person or a supporter of President Donald Trump [R].

Unfortunately, for the citizens of the United States and the rest of the civilized world, Biden’s record of failure remains unblemished, as he and his stumblebum handlers continue to plod their way down the yellow brick road to oblivion. On his first day in office, Biden eliminated any doubt (or hope) about his intentions when he placed a moratorium on the Keystone XL pipeline and also suspended all activities related to the oil drilling leases in Alaska’s Arctic national wildlife refuge. Before long, as clearly predicted

by Trump, gas pump prices began their inexorable climb, on their way to $5-$7 per gallon, with home heating oil on a parallel path. At the same time, Biden moved us from energy independence, as a net exporter of oil, to a purchaser of oil, including from countries such as Russia and Saudi Arabia, at prices now exceeding $100 per barrel and likely to climb higher. Satisfied with their oil debacle, Team Biden moved on to Afghanistan, where they performed a disgraceful prescheduled military evacuation, leaving behind many billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment. If the Taliban bothered to express their gratitude by sending a thank-you card to the White House, it has not been announced.

Now we have the heart-wrenching situation in Ukraine, with the Russian incursion reminiscent of Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939. In the present case, Biden and his extended family and associates, led by his profligate and degenerate son, Hunter Biden, have an extended intimate relationship with both Ukraine and Russia. They should have seen the developments on the horizon, and they should have taken concrete preventive actions in response. They could have

transferred our lost military assets from Afghanistan to Ukraine, instead of the Taliban, in a manner similar to our Lend-Lease Act of 1941, which allowed us to provide military support to the allies in Europe without violating our position of neutrality. We could have increased, rather than sabotaged, our ability to export oil at a relatively low cost. This would have allowed us to severely challenge Russia’s primary source of income, for which they are now raking in more than $100 per barrel, with Germany, one of our NATO allies, as one of their best customers.

The actual response of the Biden administration has been to issue sanctions. How are these working? Ask the brave Ukrainian mothers protecting their children in the underground bomb shelters in Kyiv. Were the sanctions intended to deter the Russians from attacking? Vice President Kamala Harris [D] said, “Yes.” President Biden said, “No.” If they were honest, both would have said, “We have no idea.”

Unite against Putin

I was born and raised an Irish Roman Catholic, but my father’s grandparents were Ashkenazi Jews from, what is now, the Alsace-Lorraine region of France.

When I tried to research my ancestry, I could find almost none in Alsace-Lorraine.

The Nazis had virtually eliminated all of them. Why is this important? The mostly Jewish Dutch diamond merchants have almost universally opposed financial sanctions against Russia because they fear it will negatively impact their profits.

I have heard some in the United States say things like, “Why should we help Ukraine? What have they done for us?

This is going to cost us money that could be better spent at home.”

Have they all forgotten Europe in the 1930s? Have they forgotten the some 6 million Jews, including my cousins, who were slaughtered by Putin’s “twin brother” Adolf Hitler? Have they forgotten the estimated 17 million who the Nazis slaughtered or the 70-85 million who died as a result of World War II? It is time for the people of the world to stand united against just one more insane dictator and those who look to increase their personal power and wealth by appeasement of and/or association with him.

But as I have said in the past, this, unfortunately, is just one man’s opinion.

Opinion Could it be about the money and the attention?

I

f I knew exactly when Russian president and peace shatterer Vladimir Putin were planning to attack Ukraine, I could be spectacularly rich.

Putin, however, knew exactly when he was going to give the order to start shooting, causing markets around the world to plunge.

No stranger to making a buck or two, Putin, whose wealth is estimated in the billions, may have seen the opportunity to create suffering for everyone else, while making himself even D. None richer. of the above Have options markets

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF around the world checked the trading just before the day he started killing people in Ukraine? Does anyone know

whether he, through shell companies or, perhaps even more directly, through trades he holds in his own name, made a financial killing by destroying neighborhoods and shattering peace on a scale not seen since World War II? Maybe he positioned his portfolio just as he was moving his military. He could have also dabbled in the commodities markets, where wheat, aluminum and gold prices have soared.

While the Russian president may not need the money personally, he could offset some of the effect of sanctions through the equivalent of his own “big short” on stock markets, betting in a game he helped control that the markets would fall.

Putin could have gone to stock markets outside of Russia, where he could have set up huge trades just a few days before a move the previous president of the United States described as “genius.”

Perhaps Donald Trump, who is also no stranger to capitalizing on financial

opportunities, recognized the financial move Putin was making. Putin doesn’t appear to care much about the people he’s displacing or the Russian soldiers who may no longer return to their families to pursue a war against a neighbor whose biggest offense seems to be that they live in a democracy and want to join NATO, whose members consider an attack against one of them as an attack against all of them. As the “Between You and Me” column in these papers from last week made clear, Ukraine has abundant natural resources, which raise its appeal to Putin. At the same time, though, maybe he also saw this move as a chance to make money and to stay relevant.

It’s not every day that people write your name, even if it’s for nefarious actions, in papers throughout the world. Sitting on a stockpile of nuclear weapons that could easily turn Global Warming into a distant afterthought if he and his intended targets used them, Putin is dominating news coverage around the world, displacing COVID. Too bad there’s no vaccine for the

world’s population against Putin.

By putting his nuclear forces on high alert after disrupting peace with his attack on Ukraine, he also gets to play bully and victim at the same time. He’s a bully for sending his armed forces into a neighboring country and killing men, women and children. Bullets don’t discriminate between innocent civilians and members of an opposition’s armed forces.

He is also a victim, claiming the heated rhetoric against his military’s unprovoked attack is enough of a threat to him that he needed to put his nuclear arsenal on high alert. His despotic desperation suggests maybe he needs a hug or some counseling.

He also defies logic by calling the Jewish president of Ukraine, Voldymyr Zelenskyy a “neo-Nazi,” when some of Zelenskyy’s own ancestors died in the Holocaust.

Putin may not make sense, but, at least in the first few days after his unjustified attack, he may be making tons of money.

Better to think about John Landy and the Mile of the Century

T

hese are difficult times, but we’re not going there. As President Joe Biden pointed out in his State of the Union Wednesday night, the war in Ukraine, inflation, Covid and climate change are some of the troubles before us. Further, for Pete’s sake, the owners and the players of major league baseball are so far apart in their negotiations that we don’t even have an opening day. And it seems that potholes on local roads multiply Between you and me overnight. Let’s talk about other things.

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF Have you ever heard of John Landy? I had, but not by name.

Many of us know who Roger Bannister was. It was breathtaking news when he broke the fourminute mile at 3:59.4 as a runner on May 6, 1954. Until that day, humans were not expected

to run that fast. Bannister always gave credit to the guy behind him, and in the subsequent race billed as the Mile of the Century, on August 7, it was John Landy.

Landy, an Australian academic, was also a runner. Graduating from Melbourne University that famous year with a degree in agricultural science, Landy and Bannister, an Englishman and medical student at Oxford at the time, ran against each other on Aug. 7 at the British Empire Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was to be the first time two men would better four minutes in the same race. Landy had previously run on June 21, in Turku, Finland, scoring 3:57.9. (The current record, by the way, is 3:43.13, held by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco.)

They were the only two who had individually broken the four-minute mile record earlier that year, and their race generated huge excitement.

Bannister finished first. Eight-tenths of one second separated the two. Bannister saluted Landy for offering the fierce competition that pushed him just a little bit harder to win. You might wonder how I know all this. Landy died

last Thursday in Australia at the age of 91, and there was an appropriately in-depth obituary about him in Sunday’s The New York Times, so I attribute all this information to obit writers Frank Litsky and William McDonald.

“As expected, Landy led from the start, building a 15-yard lead. But Bannister … closed in on the last lap and Landy could sense him coming. Rounding the final turn, he peeked over his left shoulder to see where Bannister was. But Bannister was on his right, and as Landy’s head was turned, Bannister stormed by him, and won in 3:58.8. Landy came in second, in 3:59.6 “Only later was it learned that Landy had run the race with a wounded foot. By his account, he could not sleep the night before the race, so he got up and, barefoot, walked the streets — only to gash a foot on a photographer’s discarded flashbulb. He allowed a doctor to close the wound with four stitches, but only after the doctor swore that he would keep the incident quiet,” according to The NYT. It was Dr. Roger Bannister, however, whose name “became synonymous with singular

athletic achievement,” according to Wikipedia.

He died in 2018, making Landy the winner in longevity.

A testament to Landy’s sportsmanship occurred in 1956 at the Australian track and field championships in Melbourne. (Bannister, by the way, retired from competitive running in 1954, to concentrate on medicine.) As Landy was running in the race, hoping to break the record again and participate in the coming Olympics there, a 19-yeaar-old competitor, Ron Clarke, was bumped and fell down ahead of him. When Landy leapt over his body, he inadvertently spiked his right shoulder.

Landy stopped, ran back to Clarke, brushed cinders from Clarke’s knees and said, “Sorry.”

“Keep going,” Clarke said. “I’m all right.”

Clarke got up, and he and Landy started after the others, who by then were 60 yards ahead. Landy caught them and won in 4:04.2, according to The NYT. Landy, in his own words, had “an extraordinarily interesting life.” I hope you find his story uplifting in what is today a darker time.
