the proposed plan for the indian Hills country club.

In the end the majority of the FSA did not want new leadership, as Capaccio was voted in for a second term with 95 votes to Bubaris’ 83. The organization hired an independent accountant to tally the votes to ensure there was no wrongdoing. Bubaris said a new voice was needed to lead the association in the right direction.

“[Capaccio] has not been much of a leader, he’s been more of a dictator,” she said in a phone interview. “This election had to do with the lack of transparency and the behind the scenes decisions that have been made.” Bubaris said she felt she needed to step up and run for president because there wasn’t a working board anymore, and she feared the organization wouldn’t make it another year. Since the election results were posted, Vice President Will Safer has resigned from his post, as has board member William Berg, according to Bubaris. She also said she would resign as of Tuesday night’s meeting. “It’s really disappointing that this behavior is being accepted — but I don’t accept it,” Bubaris said. “He [Capaccio] seems to have his own agenda and to my surprise, board members back him.” Bubaris said she anticipates the open seats will be filled with like-minded people which is detrimental to the FSA as well. “It’s just not a working board,” she said. “It needs to be brought into the 21st century with open discussions.” The proposal includes plans to build 108 townhomes and two cottages in several areas on the golf course. Northwind refers to the townhomes as houses for a 55-and-over community, and said their plan will preserve 120 of the 143 acres at Indian Hills, won’t impact the views of the club from Breeze Hill Road and Fresh Pond Road, and will preserve the character of the neighborhood.

Harborfields new superintendent calls job a ‘dream’ By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Harborfields new leader, Superintendent Francesco Ianni, has been at the helm of the district for almost a month and has more than adapted to the role. “This month has been amazing in terms of being able to be out of the office as much as possible and taking a lot of joy out of visiting the students,” Ianni said in a phone interview. “When you go into the classrooms and you visit those children working and using the technology and everything that we put in place, it gives me a sense of pride. It’s very rewarding, and as a superintendent you get to see it first hand.” Ianni took the reins from former Superintendent Diana Todaro, who was involved in the Harborfields community for 14 years, starting as a student teacher and working all the way up to an administration position. Ianni was officially sworn in at the Jan. 18 school board meeting. “Francesco, the board of education and this entire district now looks to you for guidance, courage and the wisdom to move us forward and elevate the education of our children to new levels,” school board President Nicholas Giuliano said at the meeting before presenting Ianni with a gift on behalf of the entire board. “You have our trust, our confidence, and our complete support in your new role. We’re so happy to have you.” Ianni thanked the board and the audience

Now it’s enough celebrations and it’s time to get to work and let’s get it done.” Ianni emigrated from Italy in his early

20s and eventually worked his way to Harborfields in 2004 as assistant principal at the high school, a position he held for four years, before leaving the district and then returning in 2012 as assistant superintendent for human resources. “Since I went to administration I always wanted to do more and more, and have more

of an impact on the students and work on more programs,” he said. “That was always my goal. But I never thought one day I would be the superintendent of Harborfields.” When asked what school events he’s attended and enjoyed since taking over, Ianni said the answer is simple. “When you look at the calendar, I have attended everything that is on the calendar,” he said with a laugh. “And I will continue to do that because, I have to be honest with you, that is the best part of my day; to be out there and see the kids and to be able to connect a face with a program, a face to a coach’s work.” Ianni said he’s grateful for how accepting and supportive the staff has been during his time in his new role. “I feel very fortunate, sometimes I think I’m dreaming, but I don’t think it’s a dream anymore,” he said. “It’s a wonderful district at every level; the administrators, the teachers, the custodians, the students and the parents.”

Huntington set to celebrate Black History Month with play premiere By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Huntington is celebrating 30 years of its Black History Month celebrations Feb. 16 with a special program featuring the world premiere of “Harriet, Rosa and Me,” a theatrical presentation written and directed by playwright and entertainer JD Lawrence. The program will begin at 7 p.m. at the Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School, at 155 Lowndes Avenue in Huntington Station. It will also feature selections performed by the Voices of Huntington Choir and recognition of two distinguished Huntington residents: Betty Miller, a former minority affairs coordinator for the town and past president of the Huntington chapter of the NAACP; and Les Payne, a Pulitzer-prize winning reporter, editor and columnist. Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) said this event will be both entertaining and illuminating. “A 30th anniversary calls for a special program, and what is more special than the world premiere of a distinguished author and performer’s thought-provoking play highlighting two major figures in black history?” Petrone said. “Adults and children of all ages should be both enlight-

ened and entertained by this program, and I invite everyone to attend.” Lawrence, the recipient of the 2017 NAACP Legacy Award, is a singer-songwriter, playwright, actor, comedian, author, director and producer of films, television and stage plays who has been called “the king of dramedy.” “Harriet, Rosa and Me” is set in a local city bus stop, and tells the story of a young lady named Hope who decides to skip school to avoid a black history exam she refused to study for. As she lets several buses pass without getting on them, she notices another young lady, Rosa, who’s not getting on the bus as well — for an entirely different reason. As the two make small talk, Rosa informs Hope who she is as well as the importance of black history and why Hope should get on the bus. However, when Hope reluctantly rejects Rosa’s candid advice, Hope decides to take the subway that’s just a few feet away from the bus stop. As she leaves the bus depot, she comes face to face with Harriet and is once again reminded of the importance of black history, but this time the gloves are off as no-holds-barred Harriet gives Hope a dose of reality. A collation will follow the program. The public is invited to attend; admission

Police Blotter Incidents and arrests, Jan. 21 - Feb. 5

Car full of trouble

A 23-year-old man from East Northport was driving a 2006 Porsche east on New York Avenue in Huntington Feb. 5 when police said they discovered heroin and a hypodermic in the car. He was arrested and charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and possession of a hypodermic instrument.

Scenes from Brookhaven Town’s annual groundhog day festivities at Holtsville ecology center, featuring Holtsville Hal.

Holtsville Hal predicts six more winter weeks By Kevin Redding Kevin@tbrnewspapers.com North Shore residents shouldn’t put away their sleds and snow blowers just yet, according to their furry forecaster. On the fittingly chilly morning of Feb. 2, it was announced to a mix of groans and hollers from the 450 people in attendance, that famed Brookhaven groundhog Holtsville Hal saw his own shadow upon waking up from hibernation, which means six more weeks of winter are to come. Hal, “the great prognosticator of prognosticators,” made his annual Groundhog Day forecast at Brookhaven Town’s Holtsville Wildlife and Ecology Center at approximately 7:25 a.m. Thursday, surrounded by a crowd of excited locals, elected officials — Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilmen Neil Foley (R-Blue Point) and Michael Loguercio (R-Ridge) — his handler Greg Drossel, and returning master of ceremonies Wayne Carrington. After Hal’s prediction last year that spring would hit the North Shore early, as indicated by him not seeing his shadow,

residents were in for a bit of surprise with this year’s prognostication. But as one resident said before the announcement, “I’m ready for spring but we can’t really complain; it’s been a mild winter so there’s really no pressure on Hal today.” Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R), serving as mayor of the day, made the big announcement by reading from a large scroll as Drossel held Hal up for the crowd. “[Hal] looked all about and then he looked down, at that very moment a beam of light appeared between a few clouds,” Losquadro read. “So Hal whispered to me, ‘I cannot tell a lie; I saw what I saw in the blink of an eye...it was my shadow down there, so highway department and residents beware, six more weeks of winter are coming our way.’” Despite the boos that followed, the crowd enjoyed the festivities, which included hot chocolate, a 21-party streamer salute, and “I Got You Babe” by Sonny and Cher blaring through the speakers, as an homage to the classic 1993 Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day.”

Dangerous driver

Police said a teenager was sold two 12-ounce bottles of Budweiser by a 60-year-old woman from Hauppauge at Colony Lounge, a bar in Huntington Station Feb. 4 at about 12:40 p.m. She was arrested and charged with first-degree unlawfully dealing with a child.

At about 6:50 p.m. Feb. 2, a 30-year-old woman from Brookhaven was driving a 2016 BMW east on Pulaski Road in Greenlawn when she made a wide right turn, crossed into oncoming traffic, and crashed head-on into another vehicle, police said. She was taken to Huntington Hospital for injuries and when released she was arrested and charged with a first-offense driving while intoxicated.

Perfecting play at Northport-East Northport elementary schools Elementary-level students in the Northport-East Northport school district received a lesson on new games to play during recess with the help of Curt Hinson, also known as Dr. Recess. Dr. Recess recently visited students and staff members at all six of the elementary schools to guide them in play and

speak to staff members about his work. With more than 34 years of teaching experience, Dr. Recess has visited districts all across the United States to provide a new way to help children learn, grow, develop and live healthy lives through play. During each of his visits to the schools,

he led assemblies based on grade levels and presented students with new and fun ways to go out and play. With the help of some student volunteers, he demonstrated games such as Keep Away, Hoop Ball, Knock Down, Catch Five, Drop 21 and Hoop Guard. Students then played these

games themselves in the playground during their recess period. Dr. Recess also met with staff members to share his six steps to a trouble-free playground and his philosophy of ways to support students while promoting self responsibility, intrinsic motivation and inclusion-style teaching.

Harborfields elementary students excel in WordMasters Challenge Two teams representing Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School recently competed and scored top spots in the WordMasters Challenge, a national vocabulary competition for students in grades 3-8. The competition encourages students to become familiar with new sets of words and challenges them to use those words to compete in analogies. Harborfields third-grade team scored 184 points out of a possible 200 in the first

of three meets this year, placing sixth in the nation from among 279 teams. In addition, the fourth-grade team also placed sixth in the nation with a score of 166 points. Competing in the difficult Blue Division of the WordMasters Challenge, third-grader Rhys Walter achieved an individual perfect score of 20 on the challenge. Fourth-grader Leah Vapnyar also earned a 20. Leah was 1 of 12 students out of over 6,000 fourth-graders who took the test to earn a perfect score.

Other students who achieved outstanding results in the meet included third-graders Jackson Dunham, Abigail Durham, Jack Durham, Anderson Howe, Jack MacInnes, Norene Miraglia, Talia Steinberg, Julian Tchinnis and Ava Vandor and fourth-graders Fiona Calderon, Molly Diskin, Alexis Ebanks, Amelia Freiberger, Eliza Michalopoulos, Lila Porzio, Hartley Semmes, Delilah Shapiro, Aidan Smith, McKena Sung and Samantha Urmaza.

A number of fifth-graders competed at the individual level. Those who achieved impressive results included Allison Blosser, Clarissa Bues, McKenzie Coleman, Liza McPherson, Brendan O’Connor and Andre Tavitan. The students were coached in preparation for the WordMasters Challenge by Lahey Enrichment Academic Program (LEAD) teachers Patricia Bacchi, Donna Robson and Christine Mayr.

Legislator Trotta proposes county fee cap to control budget By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) stood alongside fellow Republican lawmakers to discuss a bill he’s introduced to place a 2 percent cap on county fee increases, putting an end to what he considers Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D) budgetary “feeasco,” an attempt to make living on Long Island easier and cheaper for residents. The legislation, which will go to committee for determination next week, reflects New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) 2 percent property tax cap for New York residents in 2011, which the members of the Republican Caucus agreed has helped keep property taxes at bay. “It’s time for Suffolk County to take responsibility for their actions, to be fiscally conservative and do the right thing, and stop this ‘fee-asco’ they’re [pushing] on its citizens,” Trotta told the crowd in the Suffolk County Legislature lobby in Hauppauge Feb. 7. “The county’s in serious fiscal problems and no one wants to make tough decisions. We’re here today to make those decisions.” Trotta cited Bellone’s nearly $3 billion budget for 2017, which he said contained a hike in fees and a 100 percent tax increase through permits, licenses and services like mortgage instruments and traffic tickets, as reason for why so many people have left Suffolk County. The legislator said the fees, in many

cases, have disproportionately impacted the county’s lower and middle income families, making it impossible for a young person to buy a house here or “middle income folks” to keep their elders and children here. “It’s unconscionable; he’s [Bellone] driving young people off Long Island ... in one breath he says he wants to keep people here and in the next breath he puts a $32 million fee on mortgage lists ... this is illegal,” Trotta said. “So what happens when the lawsuits come in and we have to pay this money back? The county executive will be gone, retired in Florida, and our children will have to pay for it.” The legislator criticized a recent item pricing law expansion proposed by Bellone that would require retailers throughout the county to individually price every item on their shelf or pay a yearly fee of up to $15,000, calling it “taxation disguised as consumer protection.” Legislator Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) likened the fees to razor cuts, saying “if you get cut by one razor, it’s not going to kill you, but if you get a thousand cuts, you’re going to bleed to death.” The fees are increasing and multiplying in different and secretive ways, McCaffrey said, and “they’re eventually going to bleed this county, and all its residents, dry.” “We’re truly concerned about real people and real issues that could potentially happen,” he said. Two local residents, Bill Capurso from

Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta speaks during the press conference Tuesday. Smithtown and Bill Pearson from North Patchogue, spoke briefly about the impact the fees have on their day-to-day lives. “We’re [Long Islanders] getting taxed at an enormous rate, taxes keep going up, fees keep going up, but incomes don’t seem to be going up ... it’s getting harder to live,” Capurso, who works at the U.S. Geological Survey, said. “It’s just not sustainable; you

can’t do this anymore.” Pearson, a retiree, said the fees are “policing the county and not supporting anybody.” “Just going to the park, like Smith’s Point, is $20-$25 to go for one day and that’s terrible,” he said. “They fee us to death but they should be cutting taxes and looking at ways to cut the budget. This county has got to wake up.”

SBU students voice concerns about Trump’s travel ban during forum Immigration lawyer answers questions from international Stony Brook community By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Stony Brook University students, many of them international, poured into the Charles B. Wang Center on campus last week to voice their concerns and seek guidance following President Donald Trump’s (R) controversial executive order signed Jan. 27 which put a temporary freeze on travelers entering the United States from seven Muslim-majority nations. A 19-year-old student from Yemen, one of the seven countries targeted under the ban, said he’s afraid of being detained if he were to travel through John F. Kennedy International Airport for spring break. He asked not to be identified because of safety concerns. A 24-year-old Muslim student from Bangladesh wanted to know if she’d be able to see her family this year. A 22-year-old student from Pakistan said he’s no longer interested in finding a physics job in the United States because, as he put it, “it’s just not an environment I want to be in.” On Feb. 1, less than a week after Trump signed the order to ban citizens of the seven nations from entering the U.S. for 90 days, and all refugees for 120 days—the order has since been temporarily halted by a federal appeals court, though the U.S. Justice Department filed an appeal of the ruling—the university hosted an information session with two New York City-based immigration lawyers, Alexander Rojas and Eric Lorenzo

Wang Center Feb. 1. of Barst Mukamal & Kleiner LLP. According to Dr. Jun Liu, SBU’s vice provost for global affairs and dean of international academic programs and services, the session was organized by SBU President Dr. Samuel Stanley to affirm the university’s “commitment to diversity, strong values of inclusiveness, and campus envi-

ronment that welcomes all.” The legal experts addressed and interpreted the immigrant reform, which Rojas described as “startling,” as it stood on the day, and fielded questions from those in attendance. Representatives from the offices of visa and immigration services and dean of students were also on hand

to offer support and answer questions. Rojas repeatedly advised students currently holding visas from any of the seven affected countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — to remain in the U.S. until the end of the 90-day period, April 27, because, as he said, “there is no guarantee

Continued from page A8 that you’ll be allowed re-entry into the [U.S.].” The three main nonimigrant visas are F-1, H-1, and J-1, which are for those studying, those in “specialized occupations,” and those wishing to take part in work-and-study-based exchange and visitor programs, respectively. According to Lorenzo, the only type of visas excluded from the executive order are G-1, or diplomatic visas, which are typically for representatives of foreign governments within the United Nations or foreign embassies within the U.S. But Rojas, who acknowledged there’s still plenty of uncertainty hanging over the ban in terms of its function and development, said those within immigration law anticipate Trump might extend the 90-day period and implement considerations with regards to the countries listed, something the order already laid out as a possibility. According to the lawyer, an unconfirmed draft with additional countries for the travel ban list had been circulating. The rumored additional countries, Rojas said, are Egypt, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Colombia, Venezuela, Philippines, and Mali. “It would be prudent to not travel until there’s further guidance with regards to what the White House is going to do with respect to these additional countries proposed on that [supposed] list,” he said. Rojas added he’s not sure of the rationale behind any of the nations currently on the

list, or the ones speculated to be in danger of being placed under similar restrictions. The student from Bangladesh, who would only identify herself as Adrita, was told by Rojas that since her native country is not currently on the travel ban list, she should have no concerns about traveling back home to see her family. While the 24-year-old genetics student admitted she’s glad to know she won’t be affected by the ban, the whole situation is unfair. “Even though I’m not from any of the affected countries, the ban seems to apply to Muslims...so obviously I’m concerned,” Adrita said. “Pakistan is one of the [possible] countries, and Pakistan is right next to Bangladesh. My parents told me ‘forget it, don’t travel, what if you’re told to come back to us?’ I’m doing a Ph.D. here; I can’t just leave.” Trump has insisted since the roll out of the order it’s not a Muslim ban but a security measure to prevent threats of terrorism. “America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave,” the president said in a statement. “We will keep it free and keep it safe...to be clear, this is not a Muslim ban...this is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.” Daud Khan, 22, from Pakistan, said he anticipated this sort of situation upon Trump’s election. “I was just home [in Pakistan] in December for my brother’s wedding and I made it a point to return before Trump’s inauguration so I arrived Jan. 19 to be on the safe side,” he said. “Because you don’t know what he’s going to do.”

An abundance of gratitude There are heroes among us. We sing their praises so our neighbors will know how very lucky we are they’re here for us. These men and women answer our calls every day, regardless of the weather, time of day, or their own activities and needs. They save our lives. They protect our homes. They give to our communities beyond all measure. And they do this without pay and by choice. They are the ultimate volunteers. Firefighters and emergency medical technicians come when we call. They put their own lives on the line to serve us. With the increase in population on Long Island throughout the decades and the changes in the types of challenges these volunteers face — the need for high-rise fire training, water rescue capabilities, or Narcan administration to revive opioid overdosers — there is much for them to learn and more to do. Imagine the relief of an ambulance requester when a team arrives, quickly gathers information and determines the necessary course of action, then professionally administers aid while calming bystanders present. Imagine the gratitude of a family whose lives are saved or whose home is saved by the quick response and technical savvy of a firefighting team that approaches each event with expert problem-solving skills. Imagine the appreciative loved ones of an accident victim, cared for by first responders who know what to do on the way to the hospital to ensure the best possible outcome. A member of our editorial staff had occasion to summon an ambulance on Super Bowl Sunday when a diabetic family member who had been ill was found in bed, unresponsive. The ambulance arrived within 10 minutes, the crew quickly sized up the situation, dealt accordingly and the patient responded instantly. Our communities are brought together by these brave men and women who respond to calls from neighboring towns, sometimes being the first on the scene to help stranded boaters, gather victims of a plane crash or pull a pet from a burning building. Words cannot quantify the huge debt we owe our local volunteer firefighters and first responders, especially because it is sometimes hard for their fleets to find those willing to dedicate time and risk their lives to do the job. We should support them in every way we can, and thank them every chance we get.

Leah S. Dunaief’s “Hail to the Disrupter in Chief” [Jan. 19, 2017] column, in its second fact about Trump, “He is our president, the 45th to be exact” makes the same exact mistake that virtually every other newspaper in the world keeps making — despite the verifiable fact that Donald Trump is only the 44th man to ever serve as president of the United States. Ironically, the only person who still has a chance to actually become our 45th president is Hillary Clinton (or any other candidate who runs and wins in 2020 or 2024 if Trump is reelected in 2020). The following correctly numbered list of all 44 presidents will demonstrate to you that Trump is only the 44th man to serve in this office, and is not number “45”: Washington, Adams (John), Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams (John Quincy), Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison (William Henry), Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson (Andrew), Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison (Benjamin), McKinley, Roosevelt (Theodore), Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt (Franklin), Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson (Lyndon), Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush (George H. W.), Clinton, Bush (George W.), Obama and Trump. Did I leave out any of our presidents? No, they’re all here — all 44 of them. The reason citizens and the media have been “brainwashed” into believing we’ve had 45 presidents goes back to the century-old mis-numbering of the presidents that began in 1892 when Grover Cleveland, who had been our 22nd president from 1885-1889 (but had been out of office after losing to our 23rd president, Benjamin Harrison, in the election of 1888) won his second term (non-

President Grover Cleveland was named America’s 22nd and 24th president. consecutively) in 1892 — and someone got the (confusing, as it turned out) idea to count him as also being our “24th” president. This was a mistake, because as big and heavy (260 lbs.) as Cleveland was, he was still only one man — and one president. There had already been seven previous men re-elected to a second (always consecutive) term, but none of them were ever counted, listed or numbered as if they had somehow been two different presidents. We’ve had more than 20 presidents who served two terms, but each one of them is only considered one of our presidents. Even FDR, who was elected four separate times, was never counted as more than one of our presidents. Unfortunately, this “doublenumbering” of Cleveland as both our 22nd and 24th presi-

dents, has confused voters for 125 years as to how many different presidents we’ve had. Counting our 22nd president as also being our 24th president does not make him two different presidents. Since only 44 different men have served in the Oval Office, I hope to see The Times of Huntington, Northport & East Northport become the very first newspaper in the country to accurately and correctly identify Donald Trump as being the 44th president of the United States.

Protesters are just upset with election results While I agree with their right to protest, the recent anti-Trump protesters are very misguided and causing our country more harm than good. Some of the things they are protesting (immigration restrictions for one) were

instituted by presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama to counter threats to our national security during their presidencies. Let’s face it, the only reason they’re protesting is because they don’t agree with the election results

and they will do whatever they can to obstruct his policies and actions!

OpiniOn Education vote proves we are a house divided

ow is it possible that every single Democrat thinks Betsy DeVos, the newly minted secretary of education is woefully unqualified for the position and every single Republican — except for Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine — thinks she’s worthy of the job? President Trump came to Washington to drain the swamp and to reinvent politics but, at least as far as DeVos goes, this seems like politics as usual. Does this vote presage an era when Republicans and DemoBy Daniel Dunaief crats will, for the most part, stick with the party line, whatever that is? For the Democrats, is it more important to stand against a secre-

D. None of the above

tary the Republicans see as worthy? For the Republicans, did they not see any risk to the education system, or was it more important to stand with Trump? This country is far from unified, as we demonstrated in November. It’s only gotten worse since then. Both sides are digging in their heels even deeper, preparing for a tug-of-war over the future of the nation. We are living in a world of facts, alternative facts, fake news and fake tweets. The reality, however, is that we are a house divided. A 51-50 vote makes that resoundingly clear. Wasn’t it Abraham Lincoln who said that a house divided unto itself cannot stand? Is there a middle ground? Are there ways to walk a mile in each other’s shoes, to see the world through a different perspective or, at least, to respect the process and make independent decisions? Do we elect our officials so they’ll vote along party lines? If that’s the case, who are we electing? Shouldn’t these senators represent our interests

and not demonstrate some loyalty to a party whose entire platform might not be consistent with what We the People believe? Events in Washington are unprecedented. DeVos is in, thanks to the tiebreaker courtesy of Vice President Mike Pence who voted with his party and with his president. If I were a political leader from my state, I might take this unprecedented period of discord and find a way to reach across the aisle to my adversaries. It’s not just for the good of the country, it would be a career maker. Imagine if a bill, a person or a policy had bipartisan support? Suddenly, we’re not the Shepherdsons and Grangerfords, the Hatfields and McCoys, or the Montagues and the Capulets. Someone, somewhere needs to find a friend in Washington and, no, I don’t mean a dog who can co-sponsor legislation and demonstrate true leadership. Pick an issue, any issue. Job growth? Sure, it’s one of the main items on Trump’s agenda. Education? Well, sure, that’d be nice, but

we seem to have come to reached a chasm wider than the Grand Canyon with the approval of DeVos. Maybe a Democrat and Republican can co-sponsor a way to support the military? Both sides appreciate, support and respect the men and women who protect our nation. It was also the military that beat back the guiltby-association tactics of Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950s during the Red Scare. Let’s raise that flag together and salute the men and women we all cheer during Veterans Day parades, and who we stand and salute at sporting events for their service to our country. These challenging times present unique opportunities. The future leaders of this nation will be the ones who can show a readiness to get along and think for themselves. A Trump presidency should free other politicians to believe in themselves and their ideas and find other leaders, even someone from the other side, to work for our common good.

‘Hamilton’ is worth much more than a ten-dollar bill

t’s a great history lesson. It’s a gymnastic dance performance. It’s a riveting narrative. It’s a clever rap session. It’s an authentic hip-hop musical, almost like an opera. It’s a whirlwind of energy. And it’s a remarkably true story. What is it? It’s “Hamilton,” the hottest Broadway show in many years. We know that just about everything that is endlessly hyped usually disappoints. Just two things immediately come to my mind where for me there was no let down: the Grand Canyon and “Hamilton.” Now the anticipation ratcheted up was enormous. I bought the tickets when my friend turned 90 years old. It seemed like an appropriate birthday present, this story from the deep past. After all, for many dinners and evenings she had kept me fascinated with By Leah S. Dunaief her eyewitness retelling of history from the first half of the 20th century. Now we were both going to see early American history come alive on the stage of the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Let it be told that my friend will shortly be 92. Yes, she and I waited almost two years to get in to see this show. I also invited my 15-year-old granddaughter and another friend a generation younger than I to

join us. With that span in ages, we were going to get an accurate demographic spectrum of reactions. We LOVED it, all of us, from the opening number to the last sad moments of Hamilton’s life. It was witty, it was impassioned, it was fun, it was sexy, it was literate, it was tragic and it was wonderfully written, sung, acted, costumed and staged. In truth, Lin-Manuel Miranda, inspired by Ron Chernow’s biography, “Alexander Hamilton” (2004), had great material to work with. Hamilton’s life had everything a playwright could have asked for, with perfect timing now for such a story. Hamilton, born out of wedlock in the mid-1750s (exact year uncertain) and orphaned when his mother died in 1768, comes as penniless immigrant from the Caribbean to make his way. He had distinguished himself through his writing at an early age, and men of means sent him to New York. He arrived in the midst of the pre-Revolutionary tumult, was accepted at King’s College (now Columbia University), met some of the key figures of the day and became George Washington’s aide-de-camp, in good part because he spoke French and could translate between Washington and his French ally. He fought against the British at Yorktown in 1781, married the second daughter of a rich New Yorker, authored the majority of The Federalist Papers, became a successful lawyer, went on to be the first secretary of the treasury, from which position he established the banking system of the

nascent United States, was blackmailed in what was one of the nation’s first sex scandals, and ultimately died from a bullet fired by his longtime rival, Vice President Aaron Burr, during a duel on a strip of land above the Hudson in Weehawken. If it sounds like a peripatetic life, that certainly describes the fierce energy of the play about him. I had the same feeling about this play as I did so many years ago when “My Fair Lady” with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews ended, that I had just witnessed some sort of breakthrough Broadway event. And as the characters of “Hamilton,” the Founding Fathers, come alive the way they did in that other excellent historic play, “1776,” we recognized them for their magnificent talents and their all-too-human faults. The erudite New York Times drama critic, Ben Brantley, had this to say about the play when it opened on Broadway in August 2015. “I am loath to tell people to mortgage their houses and lease their children to acquire tickets to a hit Broadway show. But ‘Hamilton’ … might just about be worth it.” So it’s expensive (unless you win tickets through the lottery that has been set up), it requires patience to wait for the actual performance date on the ticket, and most of the original cast is long gone. But none of that matters. There was never a marquee name connected with the show, unless it was that of Miranda. But his acting wasn’t the reason to go, it was his writing: music, words and creativity. And all that is still there, a wonderful respite from the politics of today.
