State

New York’s 57th governor stops by Long Island

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

As Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) packed up his moving trucks at the governor’s mansion, the soon-to-be state leader headed to Long Island last week for a quick appearance and chat with local reporters.

Before she became New York’s 57th and first female governor, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) made a quick stop in Hauppauge for a roundtable discussion on Friday, Aug. 20, with local labor leaders where topics included job training, green jobs and new legislative efforts to support essential workers.

Although the discussion was closed to media, Hochul stopped for a small press conference to quickly discuss her intentions during the meeting.

“One of my first priorities is continue creating good jobs,” she said. “Getting the offshore wind institute off the ground and give opportunities to just really train people in the underserved communities and the jobs of tomorrow where there will be tens of thousands of jobs in that space.”

Hochul said she and the business leaders

in attendance also talked about workforce development and creating opportunities to keep young people fully employed on Long Island.

The visit wasn’t anything new, she said, mentioning that over the last seven years “coming out and seeing the people is what I do.”

“If you ask anyone, I’ve been told that Nassau and Suffolk counties are planning on taxing me as a local resident because I’m here so often,” she joked.

As chair of the Regional Economic Development Councils, she said that she is going to continue and be accessible throughout her term.

“I’m going to continue showing appreciation to the labor community, the job creators, the business community and elected officials,” she said. “I have a deep appreciation for all the various roles of government, and I want them to know that they have a governor who recognizes and appreciates that.”

Hochul officially took on her new role early Tuesday, Aug. 24, moving into the governor’s mansion in Albany.

“I haven’t thought about getting a U-Haul,” she joked to reporters on Friday. “I was just going to pack an overnight bag and see what happens. I’ll then keep our residence in

Buffalo, as well. It’s going to be very fluid.”

During the event, reporters urged Hochul to announce what her plans were surrounding mask mandates. At the time she said she couldn’t release an official statement until she took office but hinted that “people should be ready.”

As expected, she said during her first press conference as governor that New York will require schools across the state to mandate mask wearing for students. Faculty and staff must be vaccinated or tested weekly, as of press time Wednesday, Aug. 25.

Town

New emergency rental assistance program center opens in Greenlawn

BY KIMBERLY BROWN KIMBERLY@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Town of Huntington has been awarded $5.9 million from the U.S. Department of Treasury to go toward a new outreach program called the Emergency Rental Assistance Program.

The grand opening of the new center took place Aug. 20 in Greenlawn. The program’s purpose is to provide economic relief to help low and moderate-income households who are at risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

“The funds can pay for 12 months of pastdue residential rent for some households, up to three months in future rent and up to 12 months of overdue electric or gas utility bills,” said town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R).

All payments would go directly to the landlord or the utility provider. By partnering with Housing Help, trained specialists will be available to answer questions about the program and assist anyone who needs help filling out an application form.

“Help is available even if you have no lease, no pay stubs and regardless of immigration status,” Lupinacci said.

With evictions on the rise and rent going up in price, housing instability for tenants and landlords has become an extensive issue.

Landlords are encouraged to fill out an online application form or visit the new ERAP center in person to work out a solution for their tenants’ overdue rent.

“This program has been a blessing to the

residents,” said Leah Jefferson, director of the Huntington Community Development Agency and Economic Development Corporation. “We have received over 300 applications to date.

However, we do anticipate receiving a much larger number of applications in the coming few weeks.”

The center is located at 95 Broadway in Greenlawn. Even so, James Calero, director of St. Hugh of Lincoln Outreach, has worked with Housing Help to provide a satellite office in Huntington Station for ERAP appointments as well.

This closer location will make it easier for local residents to travel to, or meetings can also be set up as a video conference.

“For those people who might not have transportation and are not able to get to the Greenlawn center, please give us a call, we’ll be happy to set up an appointment and we will meet with you,” said Pilar Moya-Mancera, executive director of Housing Help.

The Housing Help board members expressed their gratitude for the creation of this new program and for Moya-Mancera, who has a passion for community activism and has aided town residents.

“I like to say this is like Christmas in August for our community, and it’s something that we needed for a while,” said Guillermo Perez, a Housing Help board member. “It’s an honor to be a part of this, and I want to thank Pilar. She is like an octopus; her hands are everywhere — she covers all of Long Island and is a blessing to us.”

County

Brookhaven resident, former ADA ready to take on Sini in DA race

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A former Suffolk assistant DA is ready to take over the main seat in the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

Ray Tierney, who will be running on the Republican and Conservative tickets Nov. 2 to challenge current DA Tim Sini (D), stopped by TBR News Media’s office last week to introduce himself and answer some questions about his campaign.

“When I talk about this contest, I say that it is a contest between the prosecutor and the politician, or when you look at my opponent’s record — what he’s done and what he’s claimed to have done, more accurately — it’s a contest between the prosecutor and the pretender,” Tierney said.

Background

Tierney resides in the Town of Brookhaven with his wife, Erica, and their four children.

The prosecutor grew up in Commack and is a graduate of St. Anthony’s High School where he played football and was a member of the school’s track team. He went on to play football for Brown University where he graduated in 1988, and after taking a short time off from his studies, he attended St. John’s University’s School of Law. He began his law career in the Suffolk County DA’s office under DA James Catterson (R).

“At first, I had a very sort of infantile concept of what it meant to be a lawyer,” Tierney said.

“I always wanted to be a prosecutor. I always wanted to be in court. Although there’s so many things you could do, that’s all I really ever wanted to do, and as I got older, more sophisticated, my focus never changed.”

He decided to leave the DA’s office in 1999 when his first two children were born and worked for a private firm. Tierney said the tragic events of 9/11 changed his life. He was at a meeting in Queens when the attacks happened, and he watched the towers fall on TV. “I was driving back out east and all the emergency vehicles were flooding into the city, and I could see the smoke and I was, like, ‘What am I doing with my life?’” he said. “This job that I have right now is inconsequential. So, I wanted to get back into public service.”

He returned to the DA’s office in 2002 during the time of Tom Spota (D) and worked there for another six years. Tierney said he decided to leave the office when he was told they may fire him for insubordination.

“They tried to get rid of me because I wouldn’t go along with their illegal, unethical ways,” he said. “I worked in an office whose job it was to uproot political corruption. But, instead, it was the office’s leadership that was corrupt, as history has proven.”

He then went on to work in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York as an assistant attorney for more than 11 years.

He left the office in 2019 to become an executive assistant district attorney in the Kings County District Attorney’s office where he was in charge of the violent criminal enterprises bureau, crime strategies unit and body worn camera unit.

In order to run for Suffolk County DA, Tierney had to leave the Brooklyn office and is currently Suffolk Regional Off-Track Betting Corp.’s chief counsel for compliance and enforcement.

His experience

During his time in Brooklyn, among his responsibilities, Tierney oversaw violent street gang investigations and prosecutions. He came to the position with extensive experience prosecuting MS-13 cases, which he said led to the incarceration of dozens of gang members.

One of the most high-profile MS-13 cases involved gang leaders Heriberto Martinez and Carlos Ortega. The two were found guilty for commissioning five murders in 2010, including Vanessa Argueta, 19, of Central Islip, and her son Diego Torres who was only 2 years old.

Martinez and Ortega are currently serving life sentences. Tierney also tried Adalberto Guzman who was found guilty of killing the 2-year-old

and is also serving a life sentence.

Tierney was the assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted Ed Mangano, former Nassau County Executive, and Mangano’s wife as well as former Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto for corruption in 2018.

In addition to gang violence and public corruption, he also has been a prosecutor on cases involving Colombian drug cartel, racketeering and white-collar crimes.

Issues with Sini

Tierney takes issue with the press releases sent out by the DA’s office. He said he feels a high percentage of the releases are about arrests and arraignments but not about sentencing.

“What he does, because he’s in show business, he has the glitzy arraignment, and this is the biggest, baddest, greatest case, and then you never hear what happens at the time of the sentence,” the candidate said.

Tierney added he could take any of Sini’s accomplishments and dissect them and show that the current DA is “a fraud” and is “looking for that initial blast of publicity.”

“You don’t get to decide where your next case comes from, the streets tell you where the next case is,” Tierney said. “So, if you have an investigation here but the violence is settled here, you put your resources here, you put your resources there.”

He gave an example that Sini convicted several MS-13 members on charges such as acts of conspiracy instead of murder or gun charges.

He said Sini then turned the gang members on each other so they would testify against one another. The result was they each pled to lower charges and got out of jail.

Tierney said he would use overarching tactics such as conspiracy, but then tie the case to the murders committed and pull the case all together to ensure the murderers would serve jail time.

His campaign

Tierney said the job is a balance between law enforcement and fairness, and that will be his goal if elected. He added he has never aligned himself to one party and has prosecuted defendants on both sides of the political aisle.

He is running to bring experience, integrity and independence to the office.

He said regarding the county and the Suffolk County Police Department, it’s important to work with them but also maintain independence from each other.

“When it comes to law enforcement, I make the decisions,” he said. “No one else makes the decisions. I support the county, I support the police department. But I don’t work for them when it comes to law enforcement, and I don’t excuse bad behavior.”

directamente certificados o la familia presente una solicitud que sea aprobada, los alimentos de los niños deberán ser reclamados a la tarifa pagada. Aunque se le exhorta a hacer esto, SFA no está obligado a enviar un recordatorio o un aviso de la expiración de la elegibilidad.

LIBERACIÓN DE NOTICIAS ANUALES - ANUNCIO PÚBLICO

Huntington Union Free School District (Autoridad Local de Alimentos Escolares) anunció hoy una política de alimentos gratuitos y a precio reducido (leche gratis) para los niños de las escuelas del área de Huntington.

La información proporcionada en la solicitud será confidencial y se usará para determinar la elegibilidad. Los nombres y el estado de elegibilidad de los participantes también se puede usar para la asignación de fondos para los programas federales de educación como Título I y la Evaluación Nacional del Progreso Educativo (NAEP), programas estatales de salud o de educación, siempre que la agencia estatal o la agencia local de educación administren los programas, y para programas de nutrición basados en recursos federales, estatales o locales con normas de elegibilidad comparables a las del NSLP. La información de elegibilidad también podrá ser divulgada a programas autorizados bajo la Ley Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares (NSLA) o la Ley de Nutrición Infantil (CNA).

La divulgación de información a cualquier programa o entidad no específicamente autorizada por la NSLA requerirá una carta de consentimiento por escrito del padre de familia o tutor.

Los funcionarios escolares locales han adoptado los siguientes criterios de elegibilidad de familias para ayudarles a determinar la elegibilidad:

LINEAMIENTOS DE ELEGIBILIDAD POR INGRESOS PARA ALIMENTOS GRATUITOS Y A PRECIO REDUCIDO O LECHE GRATUITA 2021-2022

Escala de Elegibilidad para Beneficios a Precio Reducido

Sin embargo, la Autoridad de Alimentos Escolares tiene el derecho de verificar en cualquier momento, durante el año escolar, la información de la solicitud. Si un padre no proporciona a la escuela esta información, el niño (o niños) ya no podrán seguir recibiendo alimentos gratuitos o a precio reducido (o leche gratuita).

Familias en SNAP/TANF/FDPIR: Las familias que actualmente incluyen niños que reciben ayuda del Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria (SNAP), pero que no se encontraron durante el Proceso de Compatibilidad de Certificación Directa (DCMP) o familias que actualmente reciben Asistencia Temporal para Familias Necesitadas (TANF) o el Programa de Distribución de Alimentos en Reservaciones Indígenas (FDPIR) deben llenar una solicitud que mencione el nombre del niño, un número de caso válido de SNAP, TANF o FDPIR y la firma de un miembro de la familia que sea mayor de edad. La elegibilidad para obtener alimentos gratuitos basada en la participación en SNAP, TANF o FDPIR se extiende a todos los niños de la familia. Cuando la Autoridad de Alimentos Escolares se entere, las familias serán notificadas de la elegibilidad de sus niños para obtener alimentos gratuitos con base en su participación en los programas de SNAP, TANF o FDPIR. No es necesaria una solicitud si la familia fue notificada por SFA que sus niños han sido directamente certificados. Si la familia no tiene la certeza si sus niños han sido directamente certificados, debería ponerse en contacto con la escuela.

Elegibilidad categórica por otras fuentes Cuando la Autoridad de Alimentos Escolares se entere, las familias serán notificadas de cualquier elegibilidad de su niño para recibir alimentos gratuitos según la designación individual del niño como Elegible Categóricamente por Otras Fuentes, según lo defina la ley. Los niños se determinan como Elegibles Categóricamente por Otras Fuentes si son indigentes, migrantes, se escaparon de su hogar, son adoptados o están inscritos en Head Start o en un programa elegible previo al jardín de niños.

Si los niños o las familias reciben beneficios bajo programas de asistencia u otros programas donde son Elegibles Categóricamente por Otras Fuentes y no están incluidos en el aviso de elegibilidad y no son notificados por la Autoridad de Alimentos Escolares sobre sus beneficios de alimentos gratuitos, el padre de familia o tutor debería ponerse en contacto con la escuela o debería enviar una solicitud de ingresos.

Solamente se podrán aprobar las solicitudes que estén completas. Esto incluye información completa y precisa sobre: el número de caso de SNAP, TANF o FDPIR; los nombres de todos los miembros de la familia; en una solicitud de ingresos, los últimos cuatro dígitos del número de seguridad social de la persona que firma el formulario o una indicación de que el adulto no cuenta con seguridad social, y el monto y el origen de los ingresos percibidos de cada miembro de la familia. Además, el padre de familia o tutor debe firmar la solicitud, certificando que la información es verdadera y correcta.

A partir del 1 de julio de 2019, en el estado de Nueva York, los niños aprobados y elegibles para recibir alimentos a precio reducido recibirán desayunos y almuerzos completos reembolsables sin costo.

Los demás programas de asistencia nutricional del FNS, las agencias estatales y locales, y sus beneficiarios secundarios, deben publicar el siguiente Aviso de No Discriminación: De conformidad con la Ley Federal de Derechos Civiles y los reglamentos y políticas de derechos civiles del Departamento de Agricultura de los EE. UU. (USDA, por sus siglas en ingles), se prohíbe que el USDA, sus agencias, oficinas, empleados e instituciones que participan o administran programas del USDA discriminen sobre la base de raza, color, nacionalidad, sexo, discapacidad, edad, o en represalia o venganza por actividades previas de derechos civiles en algún programa o actividad realizados o financiados por el USDA. Las personas con discapacidades que necesiten medios alternativos para la comunicación de la información del programa (por ejemplo, sistema Braille, letras grandes, cintas de audio, lenguaje de seas americano, etc.), deben ponerse en contacto con la agencia (estatal o local) en la que solicitaron los beneficios. Las personas sordas, con dificultades de audición o discapacidades del habla pueden comunicarse con el USDA por medio del Federal Relay Service [Servicio Federal de Retransmisión] al (800) 877-8339. Además, la información del programa se puede proporcionar en otros idiomas.

Para presentar una denuncia de discriminación, complete el Formulario de Denuncia de Discriminación del Programa del USDA, (AD-3027) que está disponible en linea en:http://www.ocio.usda.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2012/Spanish_Form_508_Compliant_6_8_12_0.pdf. y en cualquier oficina del USDA, o bien escriba una carta dirigida al USDA e incluya en la carta toda la información solicitada en el formulario. Para solicitar una copia del formulario de denuncia, llame al (866) 632-9992. Haga llegar su formulario lleno o carta al USDA por: (1)

correo: U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights 1400 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20250-9410; (2) fax: (202) 690-7442; o (3) correo electrónico: program.intake@usda.gov.

Otras familias: Las familias con ingresos similares o menores a los montos indicados abajo por tamaño de familia pueden ser elegibles y se les exhorta a que apliquen para recibir alimentos gratuitos y/o a precio reducido (o leche gratuita). Pueden hacerlo llenando la solicitud que le enviaron a casa con la carta a los padres. Se debería enviar una solicitud para todos los niños de la familia. Hay copias adicionales disponibles en la oficina del director de cada escuela. Las solicitudes se pueden enviar en cualquier momento durante el año escolar a la oficina de la Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Management Services. Póngase en contacto con la Oficina de Alimentos y Nutrición a 631-673-2107 si tiene preguntas sobre el proceso de aplicación.

Según las disposiciones de la política, el funcionario designado revisará las solicitudes y determinará la elegibilidad.

After 44 years of business, countless celebrity guest appearances and thousands of loyal customers, Huntington village’s independent bookstore, Book Revue located on New York Avenue, will be closing its doors

by Sept. 30.

Due to the pandemic, the well-known store had to shut down business for three months, but even when the owner Richard Klein was able to reopen, it struggled to get back on its feet again.

“We lost our events, where authors, politicians, celebrities and athletes would come in, and that was a very big part of our business, and we lost it,” he said. “It all came back very slowly, so we fell behind on the rent.”

According to Klein, he spoke with one of the landlords during the course of the pandemic asking to give the store a chance as the fall season approached, hoping business would pick back up.

“I told him I’d start paying in September for the rest of the year, not full rent but more than half, and if the fall came back with decent business then I’d start paying additional rent and paying back the debt,” he said. “He told me that sounded OK and would discuss it with his partners.”

Unfortunately, the person Klein spoke with died two months ago, leaving the son to take lead on most of the decision-making.

Despite having a payment plan worked out before the broker’s death, suddenly the remaining landlords demanded Klein pay the money he owed immediately.

“I gave them a starting proposal, and they

didn’t give me anything back, telling me it was unacceptable, and that the money was needed now,” Klein said.

The building’s landlords did not respond with a comment before press time.

With outcries of disappointment and anger from local book shoppers, a GoFundMe was set up to attempt to save the beloved store but was later taken down.

Klein said even if the community was able to fundraise the debt money, the landlords were changing the rent to a 75% increase, which is impossible for the business to keep up with.

“I’m really sad because I love this place,” said Kathleen Willig, a Seaford resident. “There are no independent bookstores on Long Island — it’s all Barnes and Nobles. I really think independent bookstores are the charm of so many cities and states. It truly feels more personalized.”

Reminiscing on the impact Book Revue had on people’s lives while growing up around town, made regular customers disappointed to see it go.

“My mom used to bring me here and now I bring my daughter here, so to me it’s part of my childhood and I think it’s what holds the town together,” said Michele Lamonsoff, a Huntington resident.

While some customers said they will miss the comfort of reading unique novels, others who work in the field of education relied on the store for classroom work. Plainview resident and social studies teacher Nicole Scotto said her favorite part of Book Revue was the history section.

“As a social studies teacher, I always enjoyed browsing through Book Revue’s extensive collection of history books and finding used books on niche topics with the previous owners’ handwritten notes in the margins,” Scotto said.

Editorial

Give her a chance

Nineteen states have never had a female governor and, up until this week, neither did New York. That’s progress.

When former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) resigned amongst nearly a dozen sexual harassment allegations, and after a thorough, months-long investigation, his lieutenant governor, Kathy Hochul (D), was given the opportunity to make history.

The mother of two from Buffalo has had a long career in politics and advocacy. She even sat in Congress.

New York now joins eight other states — Oregon, Alabama, Kansas, New Mexico, South Dako-ta, Iowa, Michigan and Maine — who have lady leaders as heads of their state.

And practically minutes after she took her oath early Tuesday morning, she said during a short press conference that she wants her constituents to “believe in their government again.”

But that’s going to be hard for many New Yorkers — especially the ones who lost their faith in government throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unfortunately for Hochul, she had barely been in office for even a full day when commenters online began to bash her for her mask-mandating policy.

As of Tuesday afternoon, she said all school districts in the state of New York must require masks for their students, faculty and staff to be fully vaccinated or tested weekly.

People are furious, according to the online comment threads. They’re not necessarily mad about the mandate — although that’s become a debate within itself. They are mad she hasn’t addressed all the other issues that are impacting New Yorkers — homelessness, food insecurity, the nursing home deaths during COVID and high taxes.

When reading through the comments on a story that was published by The New York Times, New York Post and locally, Newsday, readers are finding issues already with our new leader.

Can we just give her a second to settle in? It was barely 24 hours before she even set foot in the governor’s mansion in Albany, and people were already assuming she’s failing us.

People might be upset by the mask mandate, but we’ve been through this before. Remember, the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting its year-and-a-half mark. That means we have been wearing masks, social distancing, hand sanitizing and Zooming for almost two years. We’re used to these policies.

No one wants to wear masks, especially if they’ve been vaccinated. But right now, with the Delta variant — and whatever other mutations are out there coming soon — we need to be safe.

This summer, we had a taste of freedom again. We were allowed to see friends and families, weddings were back on and kids were able to attend their graduations in person — and that’s all because we wore masks for practically a year before that. When the vaccine came out, that helped us all, too.

Let’s just listen to Hochul. Let’s not complain.

The sooner we tackle this problem, the sooner we can get back to whatever normal is the new normal.

Don’t judge her policies just yet — she’s had a lot of experience and whoever jumped into Cuomo’s seat was in for it.

She was handed a pile of dirt and now needs to make it beautiful.

Trust her actions, give her a chance. Embrace the fact that someone new is in office and remember: A mother always knows best.

Letters to the Editor New York’s progressive dystopia

New York state — burdened by some of the most “progressive leaders” in the nation — has been careening in the wrong direction. Three telling signs have made that slide painfully clear.

Violent crime has risen dramatically over the last couple of years, and New York ranks second only to New Jersey in the highest COVID death rates for 100,000 people. Given the first two, is it any wonder the third sign would be that the number of residents fleeing the Empire State has resulted in us losing a congressional representative?

What have top elected Democrats been doing during our decline?

Junior U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand [DNY], formerly a darling of the National Rifle Association who bragged about sleeping with guns under her bed when it was politically convenient, thought she should run for president. Kirsten’s breathless appearance on the Stephen Colbert show plugging that move may have been the last time many of us saw her.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio [D] thought he, too, should throw his hat in the presidential ring. He was actually tilting at that POTUS windmill somewhere in the Midwest when the lights went out in a large section of Manhattan. That fantasy having been squashed, he turned his attention to ruining the city. Riots raged, looting followed, shootings skyrocketed and cops were attacked. Those conditions inexplicably led Bill to advocate cutting police funds by about $1billion.

Senior U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer [D-NY] had no lust for the presidency.

Instead, his laser-like focus was on becoming Senate majority leader. He couldn’t let little things like police cruisers being firebombed and senior facilities registering record deaths within a few blocks of his Brooklyn office keep him from that lifelong dream. And they didn’t. He was MIA around the Big Apple during these deadly, devastating duel crises. Chuck abandoned his very own neighborhood and remained holed up in D.C. Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D] began his tenure as a moderate on taxes and sensible on law and order issues. However, having read the political tea leaves he hopped on New York’s progressive bandwagon. His no cash bail and fondness for releasing prisoners, including convicted cop killers, was hailed by all the woke people living

in safe neighborhoods. Cuomo blamed de Blasio and took no action while NYC rioted. Regarding COVID, even as fatalities were soaring Andy was getting giggles on his little brother Chris’ CNN show. We know now the other thing that had the attention of the “luv gov” during our decline was his fondness for harassing women. Forget his other possible scandals and all those nursing home deaths. If there’s one thing woke folks cannot abide it’s making women uncomfortable in the workplace. So, he’s gone.

The question is while these four Democrats have earned their progressive merit badges for by being soft on crime, ignoring or excusing riots, calling for unaffordable spending and using the proper pronouns, what were they doing as our once great state began circling the drain?

Apparently, beyond satisfying their own interests, precious little.

Helping Afghans a moral imperative

The U.S. finally is exiting its 20-year war in Afghanistan that cost us over $2 trillion and resulted in the deaths of more than 3,500 U.S./NATO troops and tens of thousands of Afghan military, police and civilians.

What can we show for our investment of time and treasure in this longest war in U.S. history? Afghanistan remains one of the worst countries globally on almost every quality-of-life index, including shortage of clean water, childhood malnourishment, unemployment, poverty and drug addiction.

What exactly was the “mission” driving this war? Some claim “democracy building.” But the U.S.-supported Afghan government of warlords and drug lords was among the most corrupt,

undemocratic governments worldwide.

Under that government many Afghan women were forced into marriage, and it was legal for a man to rape his wife.

I recall American activist Cindy Sheehan’s oft-repeated question to former President George Bush [R] after her son, U.S. Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed during combat in Iraq: “What is the noble cause?” To my knowledge, Bush never responded.

One of the main reasons we invaded and occupied Afghanistan was its geopolitical significance in relation to bordering nuclear powers like China, Pakistan and Iran. Also, Afghanistan is rich in valuable natural resources. I love my country, but love doesn’t blind me to its sometimes self-serving motives. We are not always a force for good, and let’s face it, war is profitable — think military contractors and weapons manufacturers.

My heart goes out to families who lost sons and daughters to this failed endeavor. Well intentioned and eager to defend their country, they enlisted after 9/11. May we never again spill the blood of a U.S. soldier for a mission like the one that brought us to Afghanistan.

President Joe Biden [D] was right in ending this disaster. The way he did it was flawed. But so was this war, from day one. The North Country Peace Group, which began its almost 20-year vigil for peace in Setauket in 2002, has always maintained that.

Now we can do the right thing. We can increase humanitarian aid for those still in Afghanistan as well as refugees; expand U.S. refugee quotas for all at-risk Afghans; and designate Afghans for the Temporary Protected Status program.

That would be a start. Forget the political squabbling. Helping Afghans, a moral imperative, should be our priority.

Opinion Armed to the teeth with cliches, we emptied our nest for college

W

e packed our bags full of dreams, hopes, clothing and cliches and took our son to college. We pondered the journey, which is really what’s it’s all about, and not the destination.

My wife and I were bursting with pride, thinking about the shining light that is our son.

We wondered what advice we could offer before we returned to a house that would feel so empty without D. None him. We thought a good rule of thumb of the above might be to avoid

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF harebrained ideas, although we knew we could do better at

preparing him for future dark and stormy nights.

As he took his first steps onto his new campus, we encouraged him to discover the world and himself at the same time.

We shared the butterflies that fluttered among our four stomachs. Like a good soldier in our family’s mission, his sister joined us for this momentous occasion, prepared to offer her version of older sibling advice and to help find whatever item he might need in a college dorm he is sharing with a stranger he’d chosen from a grab bag of potential roommates.

As we followed the move-in directions to a tee, we could feel the electricity in the air. We drove up to an official behind a desk, who was all ears listening to him spell a last name chock full of vowels.

With bated breath and sweaty palms, we waited with every fiber of our beings until

she found him on the list. We breathed a sigh of relief when she found his name and handed him a key that would open his dorm room to a new world of possibilities. As a freshman, he knew he was no longer the big man on campus he had been during his pandemic-altered senior year.

Once inside his dorm, we got down to the business of unpacking. We debated where to put his shoes even as he stared out the window, considering where he might plant his feet.

Recognizing that time was of the essence, we spring to life while unpacking his room. Standing apart in a small room full of wonders, we drew strength from our collective mission.

Slowly but surely, we removed the contents of his boxes, creating order from the chaos despite a few moments when we felt like we were all thumbs. We lined all his

ducks in a row, creating neat rows of pencils, pens and notebooks on his desk and boxers, shorts, tee shirts and socks in his drawers.

After we prepared his room, we wiped the sweat from our brow, reminding him that this effort was but a drop in the bucket of the work he’d need to do in college.

We assured him he could bet his bottom dollar he wouldn’t feel like a babe in the woods or a fish out of water for long.

We could almost hear the angelic chords as the sun set in the west, where it always sets because that’s the way the cookie crumbles, or, rather, the earth rotates.

Before we left him in his new home away from home, we exchanged embraces and urged him to dance to the beat of his own drum.

We also suggested he find a healthy way to blow off steam, to recognize that a rising tide lifts all boats, to swim when it was time to sink or swim, and to play his cards right.

From birthday mishaps to megadisasters, are we prepared?

A

nother birthday has come and gone. It was a memorable day, first, because it began with an overflowing toilet bowl, and it ended with the imminent arrival of Hurricane Henri. The latter caused my children and grandchildren, who were happily visiting, to depart abruptly for their homes before sunset. In between, we enjoyed a terrific party, with lots of laughter, board games and food, lingering over each meal long enough to plan the next one.

We on Long Island were lucky to have escaped the worst of the storm after the dire predictions. Lots of rain fell, some of it torrentially, but the electricity stayed on and the flooding wasn’t too bad. What could Between you and me have been a disaster for us made me consider

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF more carefully an article I recently read in the Spring/Summer edition of Columbia University’s magazine.

Titled, “How to Prepare for a ‘Megadisaster,’”

by Kevin Krajick and David J. Craig, it is an interview with Columbia’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness Director Jeffrey Schlegelmilch. The center conducts research to help “prevent, prepare for and respond to natural and human-driven disasters on behalf of the United States.” Megadisasters are events that would have “society-altering potential,” like the Black Death in the Middle Ages or the Irish Potato Famine.

In our century, we are seeing more largescale disasters, both because of human activity and our vulnerability to them. We are polluting our atmosphere, which is thought to cause more extreme weather, and we are building in flood zones and forested areas susceptible to wildfires. We are also “encroaching into wildlife areas and coming into closer contact with animals harboring exotic pathogens” that then, as we travel, spread across the globe.

Schlegelmilch names five categories of mega risk: climate change, biological perils, infrastructure failures, cyberthreats and nuclear conflict. COVID-19 could have been a megadisaster had we not responded, albeit too slowly, to the extent that we have so far. While

we lacked the medical supplies needed to handle a pandemic, we did rapidly develop vaccines, which certainly are helping to control the longterm impact. Climate change, with its prolonged droughts, can cause widespread food and water shortages and their catastrophic consequences. The American Society of Civil Engineers has given the nation a C- grade on the most recent Infrastructure Report Card. Our electric grid might be the biggest problem in this category, since it is “aging, overloaded and quite susceptible to breakdown,” or to terrorist attacks. Remember that millions of people lost electricity in Texas last winter due to a couple of severe storms. More than 2,300 of our dams are structurally worrisome, as are 46,000 of our bridges.

The long-term human toll of disasters needs also to be considered and planned for, especially for children. Those whose lives are severely impacted “are much likelier to suffer anxiety and depression, to display behavioral problems and to struggle in school for years.”

So what can we do to ready our nation for disasters?

We need forward-looking strategies from governmental agencies and the many non-profit organizations to deal with these

possibilities. We must demand those. Disaster response, like insurance, which we hope never to need, must be in place. Woe to those who try to catch up with a disaster after it happens.

Chaos ensues even with planning. It does to a much more horrific extent without some degree of readiness.

According to Schlegelmilch, disaster preparedness really began in the US in the early 2000s, after 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.

He believes a lot of progress has been made since then. The strength of social bonds among neighbors and within a community makes the biggest difference in how well areas recover after a catastrophe. Also coordinating relief efforts is helped by artificial intelligence, software specifically designed for sifting through a great deal of information, then picking out the critical data for making life and death decisions. Preparedness for biothreats. however, needs attention.

Meanwhile, what can we do to prepare ourselves?

Whatever the disaster, we will either have to stay at home for long periods or leave immediately, says Schlegelmilch. We should hope neither happens yet prepare for both.
