Huntington’s Black History Month celebration a success The history-based play “Harriet, Rosa and Me”, performed at Huntington school district Feb. 16, received a warm reception at its premiere. The event was part of Huntington’s 30th annual black history month program. Written and produced by Grammy and Emmy-award winning director J.D. Lawrence, the musical play tells the story of a high school student named Hope who skips school to avoid attending her black history class, only to encounter historical black history figures who show Hope the importance of studying black history. Lawrence talked to the Huntington students about the importance of learning about the many leaders of the black history movement. “It is 2017, we have to do better … this is everybody’s history,” he said. “It is not just black history. It is American history.” The program included songs performed by the Voices of Huntington choir, an invocation by Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) and a benediction by Pastor Gloria Mixon of Mount Calvary Holy Church. “We live in interesting times … that echo what happened 50 and 60 years ago during the civil rights era,” Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D-Huntington) said at the event. “We must keep hope alive, because the stakes are too high … there is no way we can give up this fight, no matter how hopeless it may seem. Having hope and persevering means that the black American story will not be written until some more difficult chapters are complete. It means not stopping until a final American story is written, where this country truly lives up to the promise articulated in its founding document, the Declaration of Independence … that it is self-evident that all men and women are created equal.” Councilwoman Tracey Edwards (D-

Huntington) echoed the sentiment. “It is important for us to celebrate, but also to remember,” she said. “It is very fitting that tonight, on our 30th anniversary, we honor Betty Miller, who started the Black History Month, and Les Payne, our champion, our journalist, right here from Huntington.” In a public career spanning four decades, Miller served as the town’s director of minority affairs. She was also honored for her roles in many community organizations, including the Huntington branch of the NAACP for which she is a past president. She has also served on the boards of Long Island Cares, the Huntington Arts Council, the Family Service League, the Huntington Community Food Council and the National Council of Negro Women. “This is my community, and I just want to say, I love everybody,” Miller said. “I am grateful to all the citizens of Huntington who I have had the pleasure of assisting. This award has given me a great sense of accomplishment and a renewed dedication to continue down the path I have chosen to follow.” Payne, a longtime Greenlawn resident, is a former editor, reporter and columnist at Newsday who directed coverage that won every major journalism award, including six Pulitzer Prizes. He is a founder and past president of the National Association of Black Journalists and the founder of The Trotter Group, a national organization of AfricanAmerican writers of newspaper commentary. “This is my home,” he said. “This is where I live. We raised our family here,” Payne said in his remarks. “I am a big fan of the Town of Huntington. Its magnets have always appealed to me – the Heckscher Museum, Book Revue, the Cinema Arts Centre and IMAC. We love this place, and we live here, and I expect after that to be here.” — Victoria espinoza

Firefighters battle the blaze at a home in Huntington.

More than 50 firefighters work to stop house fire On Friday afternoon Feb. 17 at 2:45 p.m., the Huntington Manor Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a house fire on Pidgeon Hill Road in Huntington.

The Melville, Huntington and Greenlawn Fire Departments and HCFAS provided assistance at the scene, with the Halesite Fire Department standing by at Manor headquarters. Fireground operations were under the command of Huntington Manor

chiefs Jon Hoffmann, Chuck Brady and Jim Glidden. The Suffolk County Police arson squad and Town of Huntington fire marshal were on scene to determine the cause of the fire. — victoria espinoza

Cronin said it’s one of his favorite parts of the business. “I really like going to do home deliveries,” he said in a phone interview. Aside from a friendly face with a new order of socks, patrons also receive a handwritten thank you note from Cronin as well as some Hershey kisses. “We’ve learned a lot and saw there is a real opportunity here,” his father said. “We’re spreading happiness through socks, and it’s a way of connecting with people. The more people we can make happy the better off we will be.” The team also gives customers two coupons with each purchase. “We want to make it a great experience for

people to buy from us,” Cronin’s father said. He said the duo has high hopes for John’s Crazy Socks, as they intend to become the world’s largest sock store, offering more sock styles and designs than anyone else. When the company started in December, they offered 31 different styles of socks. Today they offer more than 550 different styles. It’s not just different colors and concepts customers can find at John’s Crazy Socks. They also sell socks with meaning behind them. Cronin designed an autism awareness and a Down syndrome awareness sock, as well as a breast cancer sock, and a Special Olympics sock. Cronin’s father said a portion of the proceeds from each specialized sock goes to national and local charity groups working towards finding a cure or to advocating for the groups, depending on the cause. A blue whale sock was created for the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum, and there are many other personalized socks to come. For Cronin, socks represent self-expression. “I really like socks,” he said. ‘They’re fun and they can fit your own personality.” The elder Cronin said he’s enjoyed many aspects of starting the business with his son. “I love bringing joy to people, the little things we get to do to just wow people,” he said. “We live in this increasingly complex world, and we can connect with people and say we hear you and we can make you happy, and that’s awesome. And it’s great to be able to do something with my son.”

Mount Rushmore in South Dakota immortalizes some of America’s greatest presidents.

Hail to the chiefs: the presidents who inspired local leaders By Kevin ReDDing kevin@tbrnewspapers.com In celebration of Presidents Day, local elected officials weighed in on the occupants of the Oval Office who inspired them to do what they do.

Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer — Barack Obama

“I’ve been in the Legislature for six years, and got elected in 2011, which was then-president Obama’s third year in office. I had been a physician and I was a big participant in getting involved in the hope and change … Obama being the first Black American president was inspirational for me as one of the few Black American elected officials. I appreciated the fact that he started out working in the community, was someone that had all the education and training, and was a community organizer. I believe he exhibited the qualities of service and compassion for our fellow man and for those who have the smallest voice, and I believe in hard work and education as well. He had a very clear message that resonated and it got a lot of people involved, and I

think that was transformative. I don’t want it to appear that just because he was black, he encouraged me because I’m black. That had some significance but what I appreciated most was his character. He was a slow and steady hand and he brought qualities of dignity and respect … I also admired the way he conducted himself personally with his family.”

Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta — Ronald Reagan

“He was a fiscally conservative guy who was socially moderate. He would try to save money and have less government ... and keep government out of things. That’s what I believe. We shouldn’t be involved in a lot of these things.”

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone — Harry S. Truman

“Harry Truman’s my favorite president. He was an ordinary man who did extraordinary things and demonstrated that you can reach the highest levels of our government while maintaining your integrity. More than 20 years ago, I read David McCullough’s book “Truman” and it was one of the best political biographies I’ve ever read. When I served on active

duty in the U.S. Army, I was based in Missouri — which is the home state of Truman — and I visited his home and library in Independence. What was inspiring to me, and it really represents what our country is about, was that anyone can be president and that you can reach the highest levels of our government and really maintain your integrity. Truman’s honesty really impressed me.”

Suffolk County Legislator Leslie Kennedy — Abraham Lincoln

“First of all, he was honest, he truly preserved the unity of our nation and he freed the slaves. He was brought into office during what was probably one of our nation’s first economic crises, and he dealt with the Civil War, dealt with issues of taxation and imports and exports, and handled it in a thoughtful, intellectual way. Those were difficult times and he made our nation what it is.”

State Assemblyman Steve Englebright — A Secretary of the Interior

“My inspiration came not from the Oval Office, but from Interior Secretary James

Watt, who served under President Ronald Reagan. Watt wanted to sell our national parks, starting with Jamaica Bay at the Gateway National Recreation Area. “I think it was a brilliant concept to bring the national parks on both coasts together. Although it didn’t fit the wilderness model, it was an innovation that was already in place. So the Secretary of the Interior was proposing to sell one of the parks. That upset me a lot. “We don’t have many national parks in New York State and there are only two on Long Island — and he wanted to sell one. It was a life-changing experience for me. It seems like only yesterday, but it was years ago. “And it didn’t happen. There were a lot of people in Congress at that time who cared about the environment. Despite his intent, thoughtful people opposed the idea and prevailed. “The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge became the number one place in the U.S. for spotting bird species. It is located right on the Atlantic flyway and people have continued to enjoy the coastal environment in our own urban national park. It is probably the only wildlife preserve in existence with its own subway stop.”

PeoPle Huntington realtors join Syosset company Syosset’s Homes By Mara Realty is pleased to welcome Frank and Marilyn Urso, Huntington residents for more than 15 years, as its newest licensed real estate associate brokers. They come to Homes by Mara Realty with strong experience specializing in Long Island’s residential home market, particularly within the Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor and Syosset areas. “We have known Homes by Mara Realty’s founder and owner, Mara Navaretta, for more than 20 years and always respected the highly ethical and successful way she’s conducted business,” Marilyn Urso said. “The Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor and Syosset areas have always been our home market, having previously owned Long Island Village Realty, Inc. in Syosset for more than two decades. We also realized that our ties to the Cold Spring Harbor School District, where our children grew up, and our 15 years as Huntington residents could definitely help Mara to expand and develop in the Huntington real estate marketplace.” Frank Urso said Homes by Mara’s boutique operation is a complement to his and Marilyn’s work principles and philosophy. “Marilyn and I have always been committed to providing personal quality attention and service for our real estate home buyers and sellers,” he explained. Navaretta is very enthusiastic about the Ursos being aboard her team. “Frank and Marilyn are outgoing, authoritative, well known and highly respected experienced

realtors, particularly in Syosset, Cold Spring Harbor and Huntington,” she says. “They possess tremendous knowledge and skills that complement one another, with Frank representing the business and sales part of the team and Marilyn representing the organized, technical and creative part of the team – making their marriage a wonderful marriage for our operations and our clients.” The Ursos have both been realtors for more than half of their adult lives. They say it is who they are. Originally having met at Garfield High School in Garfield, New Jersey, the Ursos have been together as a couple for 55 years and are married nearly 48 years. They have been working together in the real estate field since 1989.

Students give back in a soup-er way Washington Drive Primary School students recently held their third annual Soup-er Bowl Food Drive and collected a total of 331 cans to be donated to Harborfields Alliance For Community Outreach and the school’s food pantry. Students donated cans towards their favorite team in this year’s Super Bowl. The Atlanta Falcons won the Soup-er Bowl with 194 cans, while the New England Patriots followed with 137 cans. This year the school collected more cans than in the past two years.

The fundraiser was run by the Acts of Kindness committee, an organization composed of teachers who hold fundraisers throughout the school year. Committee cochairs Alyson Elish and Jennifer Pennisi, as well as staff volunteers Michelle Kasin, Maria Semertzides and Millie Rivera worked together to make the drive a success. “The children have a sense of accomplishment knowing that they have helped others in their community,” said Pennisi. “It’s an exciting few weeks at Washington Drive.”

Students from Harborfields Central School District take part in the Black History Month event at Oldfield Middle School, which had the theme of “Rooted in the Past, Growing Toward the Future.”

Harborfields pays tribute to Black History Month Harborfields Central School District Board of Education members, district administrators, staff and community members packed into the Oldfield Middle School auditorium on Feb. 16, as students from throughout the district paid homage to Black History Month. The theme of the event was “Rooted in the Past, Growing Toward the Future.”

Students from Washington Drive Primary School, Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School, Oldfield Middle School and Harborfields High School hit the stage to relive the stories of the brave men and women who paved the way to progress for African-Americans throughout history. Topics covered included slavery, the Un-

derground Railroad and other important topics related to the civil rights era. Music was provided by the Harborfields High School jazz band, led by musical director Dan Bilawsky, and the Oldfield Middle School chorus. Visitors were also graced with performances by the Oldfield Middle School orchestra and other unique performances per-

taining to the night’s theme. Suffolk County Legislator Dr. William Spencer (D-Centerport) delivered the night’s keynote address. “Tonight is a true representation for me that this is what Harborfields is all about,” Superintendent of Schools Francesco Ianni said. “Tonight is a real treat, and we are very proud of our talented students.”

North Shore residents divided on Presidents Day

Some protestors condemn Trump’s actions and rhetoric, others sing his praises By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com North Shore residents on both sides of the political spectrum made their voices heard during a local iteration of the nationwide Not My Presidents Day protest Monday, Feb. 20. Those driving down Route 25A in East Setauket between 3 and 5 p.m. on Presidents’ Day found themselves caught in between the country’s most heated debate. On one side of the road, a large crowd of diverse protesters rallied against President Donald Trump (R) and his policies, holding up signs that read “Trump is toxic to humans” and “Not my President.” On the other side, a smaller but just as passionate group gathered to support the command-

er-in-chief, holding signs that read “Liberal Lunacy,” with an arrow pointed toward the group on the other side, and “Pres. Trump Will Make America Great Again.” Not My Presidents Day rallies took place across the country including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Philadelphia, with thousands of Americans taking to the streets to denounce the president, just one month into his term. The main group involved in East Setauket’s rally was the Long Island Activists for Democracy, an offshoot of MoveOn.org, which, according to its website, is the largest independent, progressive, digitally connected organizing group in the United States. Activists for Democracy founder Ruth Ann Cohen, from Lake Grove, held a sign that asked “Why Is Not My President Adolf Trump in Love with Putin?” She said she started the meetup in an effort to “uphold democracy” and stand up to the president, Photos by Kevin Redding whom she called a traitor.

black history month

A look at the heroic and formidable Tuskegee Airmen By Rich AcRitelli On April 3, 1939, with war clouds on the horizon in Europe and the Pacific, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved the expansion of the Army Air Force. These national defense efforts by the government also made provisions to allow black college students the chance to enter the air wing of the military. While this presidential action sought the support of black citizens, segregationist Jim Crow laws hindered any form of equality within the United States. Even as Roosevelt understood Americans would be fighting in the war, he had to contend with the strength of racial hatred and the political and social forces that would not allow any significant changes to the policy of separate, but equal. As Adolf Hitler conquered much of Europe and the Japanese expanded through the Pacific and Asia, many Americans at home refused to reconsider any type of equality towards black citizens who wanted to play a role in the global fight against fascism. At the time, many minorities hoped if they sacrificed like every other American, additional rights would be expanded to them by a grateful government. Black Americans were willing to join every branch of the armed forces to fight for the rights of people thousands of miles away against totalitarian dictators, when they had extremely limited rights at home.

The Tuskegee Airmen were successful pilots that supported the aerial war over the skies of Europe. These black air recruits were told at every turn they did not hold the same leadership and technical attributes as their fellow white pilots. The military chose the Tuskegee Institute as a major training center for black service members. The educational facility was located in the South and the recruits were ordered to the school that was originally created by noted civil rights leader Booker T. Washington in 1881. The foundations of Tuskegee were meant to provide the black trainees with an aeronautical background to enable them to become pilots, navigators and mechanics. From the start, it was a daunting task for many of them, as most of the officers running the school were white and it was expected most of the fliers at Tuskegee were bound to fail. The earliest recruits became the backbone of the allblack flying unit the 99th Pursuit Squadron. While the pilots endured intense pressure, the men who flew over the skies of Alabama were intensely motivated to be ordered overseas to protect the bomber crews taking heavy losses against the flak guns and German Luftwaffe. It was originally believed the training at Tuskegee was a waste of money and time by the government. More than 2,000 black airmen graduated from the rigorous program. One of the most vital members of the government to visit the base was Eleanor Roosevelt. In the months before Pearl Harbor, she trav-

eled to Tuskegee to observe the instructional conditions of the fliers. Roosevelt, a proponent of civil rights, spoke with the candidates and she ordered one of the pilots personally take her for a ride above the base. For over an hour, respected pilot Charles Alfred Anderson flew the First Lady as the entire military chain of command for Tuskegee cautiously watched. It was a major turning point for the pilots, as their flying talents were described to all detractors within the government to keep them from closing the school. With their training complete, the pilots

were deployed to Europe to fight against the enemy over North Africa, the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. The 99th Pursuit Squadron was later combined with the 100th, 301st and 302nd African-American aerial squadrons to create the 332nd Fighter Group. The men were led by Colonel (later General) Benjamin O. Davis, who guided his “Red Tails” to carry out 1,578 combat missions. His men shot down 260 enemy aircrafts, and attacked a destroyer and numerous enemy military installations. Eventually the Luftwaffe called the Tuskegee pilots “Black Birdmen,” and white bomber crews continually relied on the black pilots to successfully and safely carry out their missions. When the men returned home as decorated pilots with three Presidential citations, they returned to a victorious nation that would still not yet end segregation. Although there was a lack of confidence in the men, they evolved into a fighting force that struck fear in Hitler’s war machine. An off-Broadway play and two Hollywood films on the subject — the first starring Lawrence Fishburne and Cuba Gooding and called “The Tuskegee Airmen,” and the second a story of black pilots who were detained as prisoners of war in “Hart’s War” with Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell — depict the trailblazing men. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

A reminder to look at the everyday, local heroes Your turn

By geRAl lee Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is unquestionably synonymous with Black History Month. He courageously confronted social inequities and racism in the midst of an adverse antiblack administration largely due to J. Edgar Hoover who had been appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation, renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935. Few could compete with Hoover’s power and he went virtually unchallenged for half a century. Hoover opposed making Dr. King’s birthday a national holiday. His smear campaign attempted to label Dr. King as a communist and a homosexual. He ordered illegal wire taps of Dr. King’s hotel room to

try to justify his stance and used the power of government to satisfy his own bigotry toward blacks. Dr. King persevered. There were many other individuals way before Dr. King who challenged the system in the name of justice. I am certain their actions helped define his political strategies. These people — and God bless them — were not just slaves, demonstrators or rioters. I must include Glenn Beck in this article. I am not suggesting he is an authority on black history. As the colorful conservative that he is, his question as to why the many contributions of black people continue to remain hidden from the mainstream is a legitimate one — and yet another reason to celebrate Black History Month. In one of his tapings, “Glenn Beck Founders’ Fridays Black American Founders” (Fox News), that I listened to on YouTube, he mentioned Peter Salem, a hero in the Battle of Bunker Hill who saved scores of American lives. During the Battle of Lexington, white and black parishioners who worshiped together were commanded to fight. James Armistead served as a double spy. And is that Prince Whipple, the black crewman, in the painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware? There have been unsung black heroes making all kinds of contributions throughout American history. The members of the 333rd Battalion, for example. The Chesapeake Marine Railway and Dry Dock Company of Baltimore, Maryland, which was one of the largest and most successful

black businesses in America in the 1870s. “Dirty Little Secrets About Black History: Its Heroes & Other Troublemakers” by Claud Anderson reveals that in the late 1800s, blacks invented and filed for patents on a number of transportation-related devices. Andrew J. Beared invented an automatic train car coupler. Albert B. Blackburn invented a railway signal. R.A. Butler invented a train alarm. Although many inventors were fresh out of slavery and the literacy rate among slaves was 50 percent, black inventors filed hundreds of patents for transportation devices. Black history celebrates regular people engaged in positive activities. Here are some examples: My father Herman Lee resided at 34 Christian Ave., Setauket, between 1956 and 2011. He was employed at the Setauket yard of the Brookhaven Highway Department in the 1960s and promoted to foreman in the 1970s. He did carpentry/home improvement projects for Three Village homeowners; among his regular clients, the Windrows and the Strongs. In World War II he served on the USS Hornet CV-12. After he became a chaplain for the VFW along with his wife Barbara Lewis Lee who was a practical nurse and historian in her own right. They sent all of their four children to college: Barbara, Herman, Geral and Peter. Uncle Sherwood Lewis was an employee of Long Island Lighting Company. He came up with an idea that saved the company more than $100,000 a year according

to a Newsday article dated April 23, 1977. Grandmother Ethel Lewis, valedictorian of her high school graduating class, resided at 32 Christian Ave. with her husband Howard Lewis. They subdivided their property so my parents could build their house on Christian Avenue. Aunt Hazel Lewis, salutatorian of her graduating class, was employed at Peck & Peck in New York City back in the day — a high-end boutique clothing store for women. Uncle Harry Hart, Pearl’s husband, owned his own excavation and contracting business from the 1940s to the 1980s. He acquired land on Christian Avenue and rented to many local folks. Remembering a few of Dr. King’s principles of nonviolence can help provide the foundation for a healthy society: “Nonviolence is a way of life for brave people; attack problems, not people; know and do what is right even when it is difficult.” Black History Month means different things to different people, but if it can fill in the gaps, identify injustice, encourage positive dialogue and provide a platform for people to work toward understanding one another, it is a valuable ongoing process. Geral Lee returned to her Setauket home in 2013 to be with her father after living in Rhode Island for 12 years. She taught physical education and health in Hempstead early in her career and later taught at Ward Melville. She served in the Peace Corps in Senegal, and currently relieves stress as a reflexologist.

OpiniOn Editorial

Herman Lee in his Navy uniform (circa 1941)

Letters to the editor

Photo from Geral Lee

Black history deserves more than lip service It’s time we pay more attention to African-American history. Carter G. Woodson, Ph.D., a son of former slaves born in 1875 near New Canton, Virginia, is referred to as the father of Black History Month. Although he got a late educational start, beginning high school in his late teens, he proved an excellent student and completed high school in less than two years. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Chicago and, in 1912, was the second African-American to be awarded a doctorate by Harvard University. In 1926 Woodson led an effort to establish an annual observance of Negro History Week. He chose to anchor the weeklong celebration in the second week of February in honor of the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln (Feb. 12) and abolitionist Frederick Douglass (Feb. 14.) Since the accomplishments of African-Americans were largely absent from recorded history in the United States, Woodson dedicated his career to black history and worked to ensure it was taught in schools and studied by scholars. Woodson died in 1950, 26 years before President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976. Americans of all shades now know the names of the iconic figures: Douglass and Nat Turner, Booker T. Washington, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks. But of course, there are so many more. African-American history is filled with the stories of “regular people engaged in positive activities,” wrote Setauket resident Geral Lee in a “Your Turn” on Black History Month that appeared in The Village Times Herald Feb. 16. African-Americans have served this country heroically in battles on U.S. soil and abroad, oftentimes defending people who would not accept them as equals. They have advanced science and transportation, as evidenced recently in Margot Lee Shetterly’s book “Hidden Figures”, about the formerly unheralded mathematicians behind the scenes at NASA. Rocky Point High School social studies teacher Rich Acritelli wrote a story this week about the Tuskegee Airmen, a division of the U.S. Army created for African-Americans who wanted to fight for a country where they weren’t afforded basic human rights. Isn’t it time, after more than 40 years of Black History Month observances, for all Americans to take notice of the remarkable achievements of the countless regular folk engaged in positive pursuits who populate African-American history? In the words of Lee, “If [Black History Month] can fill in the gaps, identify injustice, encourage positive dialogue and provide a platform for people to work toward understanding one another, it is a valuable ongoing process.”

Congressman Zeldin speaks at an event.

Rep. Zeldin: Please meet with your constituents As a constituent of Lee Zeldin’s in the first congressional district, I am dismayed that our congressman has refused to hold a town hall meeting to answer his constituents’ concerns regarding his recent votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act, his vote to roll back existing environmental and gun safety regulations, as well as his vote against women’s health care access. These votes are of concern to many Long Islanders, and we have a right to ask our elected offi-

cial why he is not representing the diverse views of the first congressional district. I had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Zeldin and his district director last week. While our differences in philosophy were readily apparent, we had a good conversation. I encouraged the congressman to allow all of his constituents the same access that I was given, and hold a public forum where an exchange of concerns and ideas could happen. I think

it is crucial that those of us who disagree with the congressman should not be dismissed as the “radical and fringe left,” as many elected officials on the right have taken to calling us. We deserve to have our concerns addressed, and it is our elected leaders’ obligation to serve all of their constituents. I hope that Congressman Zeldin will live up to the legitimate expectations of those whom he represents.

Buoyed by Albany Planned Parenthood event On Monday, Jan. 30, I was part of Planned Parenthood’s Day of Action in Albany in support of the work Planned Parenthood does for women’s health care. Because we were the largest group ever, we met in the large convention room of the Capitol. There were

meetings with 28 New York elected officials. In a stirring speech by Governor Cuomo, which brought us to our feet, he promised to do everything he could to keep the doors of Planned Parenthood open. Other speeches including Cecile Richards, the head of

Planned Parenthood, were also inspiring. Although it was a long day, we were buoyed up by the enthusiasm for Planned Parenthood, now in its hundredth year.

OpiniOn A case for knowledge instead of fear

hen we were young, we used to think he was hiding under our beds, in our closets or around the corner. Thoughts of this terrifying person kept us up at night, prevented us from closing our eyes and made us insist that our parents search every corner of our room, investigate each sound around us and make sure we were safe. Before I was born, the boogie man was the Soviet Union, spying on us from overhead in a satellite launched in October 1957.

lyn Dodgers’ move to Los Angeles or studying our driving routes to work. Today, of course, we have plenty of reasons to fear. Terrorists have made death and destruction their business. They appear bent on the idea that killing us somehow helps them. It’s horrifying and we need to protect ourselves. The manner in which we do that is up for debate, particularly as President Trump and his staff make a point of reminding us of all the events around the world that we should fear. We need a strong response, a readiness to act and a careful screening process, keeping out the undesirable elements. President Obama seemed intent on protecting the populace, albeit without the same level of directed rhetoric and without policies of exclusion. No president wants to be in the White House as the griever-inchief when he knows he could act through policies he has the power to write.

Fake news and readership clues

ake news is in the spotlight. Websites, blogs and social media are populated with it and even print can be. The goal of its perpetrators is to misinform and to destroy readers’ trust in what they read. This calls into question the real work of traditional journalists doing their jobs. Disinformation campaigns make all news suspect: What’s real and what’s fake? How can a free press properly be the watchdog of the people, the fourth estate of our democracy, if readers can’t believe what By Leah S. Dunaief they read? In an effort to sort out the real from the fake, especially in advance of key European elections in Germany, Holland and France, the European Union had created an 10-member team called East StratCom. These overworked diplomats, journalists and

Between you and me

bureaucrats pore through hundreds of stories a day on Facebook and Twitter, according to The New York Times, attempting to sort out truth from fiction. Of course, they are only partially successful. The load is overwhelming. But perhaps they do serve to make readers pause for a moment to consider and check if they read something surprising. The subject of fake news is deeply concerning to those of us in the news business. Please be assured, as I have noted in this column before, that our papers have no fake news. Mistakes? Of course. Corrections as soon as we know? You bet. We at Times Beacon Record News Media have no hidden agenda and no dark side. Our only mission is to communicate with you the unbiased news in our communities. Because a little humor leavens the task, I am including some sly old saws culled from the internet and sent me by a friend. I hope they give you a chuckle amid the serious business of reporting the news. You Are What You Read (or, perhaps, it should be We Read What We Are).

But is there a way to look into the human soul beyond religious stereotypes and beyond geographic boundaries to know what someone may intend to do? Is this boogie man exclusively one religion? Surely, there are plenty of people who grew up in different countries and follow other religions who commit horrible acts. Do we understand our enemy or do we just want to push those people, whoever they are — perhaps away? It’s never been clear to me how we can protect ourselves completely from any motivated aggressor, short of living in a concrete bunker deep in the ground, with admission limited to those with a thorough psychological and DNA profile. We don’t understand many of the mass murderers in our country. We interview their neighbors, family members and classmates after they’ve committed horrible acts. No one could possibly foresee that this unstable person was capable of these atrocities. And, if their associates

could have seen it coming, they are almost admitting culpability. If they say, “Of course, I wrote in my diary two months ago that he might be a killer,” they may feel that they share some responsibility for not preventing these acts. We need to understand each other and the way the human mind strays off track into a realm of darkness where relief and success are measured in bullets and body counts. We need to know our enemy. I don’t believe we can truly see our enemy in the color of their skin or their passport. Our mental health system will likely receive fewer dollars in the months and years ahead, so we can focus on building walls and keeping people out. Perhaps a better investment would be to understand the people we fear. Yes, we need to defend ourselves, but we can also build a mental health system that encourages people to find ways to heal instead of hurt. Who knows? Helping the boogie man could turn him into an ally instead of a sworn enemy.

Tornadoes boys win quarters, upset in semifinals By Bill lanDon The Tornadoes were blowing through the bracket, but then came No. 5 Wyandanch with an upset, 92-73, in the Class A semifinals at home Feb. 21. But first, the eyes of the storm, seniors Alex Merhige and Kyle Stolba, racked up 29 points each as the No. 1-seeded Harborfields boys’ basketball team, which totaled a lucky 13 3-pointers in the win, knocked out No. 8 Mount Sinai, 86-53, in the quarterfinals Feb. 17. From opening tipoff, the game was never in question. The Tornadoes flexed their muscles, racking up point after point — draining six 3-pointers in the first quarter alone. Merhige, who finished the game with

12 rebounds and five blocks, awakened the crowd with his second dunk of the game in the second stanza. Stolba, who had a triple double with 10 assists and 10 rebounds, hit his fourth trey of the game, and the Tornadoes took a 30-point lead into the halftime break, 56-26. “They’re always good competitors — they work hard. Even when they got down in the first quarter they never gave up on us,” Stolba said of Mount Sinai. “The coach had to wake us up a little in the second just to keep going, we caught fire and I think we showed why we’re the No. 1 seed.” Stolba started the scoring for the second half with a pair of field goals, senior Joe Kelly hit a 3-pointer and Merhige drained his fourth trey for a 73-37 advantage heading into the final eight minutes of play. “We played great — we moved the ball really well. Our defense in the first half was unbelievable,” Merhige said. “We only missed like two three’s in the first half, but our next game definitely won’t be so easy.” Harborfields head coach John Tampori pulled his starters and the bench took the team to the finish line. Senior David Maitre answered the call with a field goal and a shot from beyond the arc to help put the win in the record book. Mount Sinai head coach Ryan McNeely said he was proud to see his boys make it as far as they did. “Some people counted us out when we were 3-6 in the league, but then we won five out of six before this game,” he said. “We knew they were an excellent team and they shot the ball much better than we saw watching tape, but I’m very proud of our guys in how we finished the season.” Senior Harrison Bak led Mount Sinai with 13 points, and classmate Nick Rose followed close behind with 11. Senior Shane Wagner made a pair of field goals and three triples to place him second in

scoring with 13 points. Harborfields head coach John Tampori said he liked what he saw from his team, and hopes that the boys can keep up the good work. “Mount Sinai is well-coached and they’re a scrappy team that put forth a great effort,” he said. “We’re not that much better than they

are, it’s just that tonight was our night. They had a tough overtime win last night and came here the next day and played us hard and that’s a credit to them.” In the loss to Wyandanch, Merhige finished with a team-high 24 points, Kelly came up with 14 and Stolba added 11.

Girls make Class A finals Senior Falyn Dwyer came through. When leading scorer Christiana de Borja was sidelined amid the second quarter with three fouls, the No. 2 Harborfields’ basketball team found a way to win. Even as No. 3 Shoreham-Wading River pulled within four points at the 2:59 mark of the fourth quarter, during the Feb. 21 Class A quarterfinal matchup. Dwyer was aggressive at the basket, and scored seven of her teamhigh 12 points in the third quarter. Senior Kate Tardo (four points, four assists) took over the ballhandling duties for de Borja, and senior Grace Zagaja was a force underneath the basket all night with 10 points (four in the third quarter) and 23 rebounds. Harborfields called timeout after the Wildcats scored 11 of the first 14 points of the fourth quarter. The Tornadoes set up a press-break play that had de Borja hit Dwyer with a pass, and Dwyer made the layup to give the Tornadoes a 41-35 lead. Shoreham-Wading River did not score again, and de Borja scored eight of her 10 points in the final minute and a half of the contest. — Desirée Keegan
