It’s a solemn week ahead for Commack and Huntington Town residents as they mourn one who made the ultimate sacrifice for the love of his country. The funeral services have been scheduled for Master Sgt. Christopher Raguso, of Commack, who was one of the seven U.S. airmen killed when a HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter crashed in Iraq March 15. The wake will be held at Commack Fire Department Headquarters, located at 6309 Jericho Turnpike, March 29 and 30 with visitations both days from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. The funeral service will be held at St. Joseph’s Church March 31 at 11 a.m. The church is located at 59 Church St. in Kings Park. Raguso served with the Commack Fire Department as lieutenant of Company 4, located off Kings Park Road. He had joined as a volunteer in 2000, according to Commack Fire Commissioner Pat Fazio, and previously served as captain of Company 2 located on Elwood Road. “He was a devoted father, devoted husband, devoted family man and a true patriot to our company,” Fazio said. “It’s unfortunate the timing and passing of his death while serving his country and fighting for the freedoms we all enjoy.”

Raguso was posthumously bestowed the rank of honorary fire chief based on a unanimous vote of the Commack Fire Department’s membership March 16. He was well known in the firehouse as he played an “integral role” in training new members, according to Fazio. “It’s not for any other reason other than he would have achieved the rank of chief, no doubt,” the commissioner said. “It was an aspiration he had, it was well known and something he would have achieved.” Raguso was also a 13-year veteran of the Fire Department of the City of New York, where he was currently serving as a lieutenant assigned to Battalion 50 in Queens. On six different occasions, he was cited for bravery and life-saving actions either for his individual actions or as part of a unit. “Lieutenant Raguso and Fire Marshal [Christopher] Zanetis bravely wore two uniforms in their extraordinary lives of service — as New York City firefighters and as members of the United States Armed Forces,” said FDNY Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro. Capt. Andreas O’Keeffe, 37, of Center Moriches; Capt. Christopher Zanetis, 37, of Long Island City; and Staff Sgt. Dashan Briggs, of Port Jefferson Station, were the others from the rescue wing involved in the fatal crash, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.

Smithtown’s historic Ebo Hill mansion ravaged by fire BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

FACEBOOK

A historic Smithtown mansion once inhabited by the descendants of the town’s founder Richard Smythe burned down Monday night, according to St. James Fire Department. Suffolk County police received a call at 7:56 p.m. March 26 reporting a fully involved house fire on Edgewood Avenue in Smithtown, according to Kevin Barattini, spokesman for St. James Fire Department. Smithtown Fire Department was first to respond to the scene and immediately reached out for mutual aid from Hauppauge, Kings Park, Nesconset, Nissequogue and St. James fire departments. The historic mansion was fully engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived, according to Barattini. “You could see this fire for miles,” he said. “It was amazing, that thing was glowing.” The property was purchased March 8 by Richard Albano, owner of Richie’s Pizza in Commack and Deer Park, with the intent of restoring the nearly 175-year-old mansion to its original state. “I’m absolutely devastated,” Albano said. The new owner wrote in a Facebook post that he was eating dinner at his girlfriend’s house — only five buildings away from Ebo Hill — when he received a call from a neighbor informing him the mansion was on fire. Albano said a worker was in the rear of the building when he heard a popping noise and

found the fireplace mantle was on fire. The worker grabbed a fire extinguisher and used it to douse the flames, according to Albano. The worker then heard crackling noise coming from upstairs and discovered the second story of the building was engulfed in the blaze. He was able to safely escape the building. “To those that know me and my passion, if I was there I would have put the fire out or died trying,” Albano wrote on Facebook. “I’m sorry to everyone that supported me with your kind words, comments and well wishes. You and the entire Smithtown community made me feel like a superhero. I went from hero to zero in 18 days.” Albano began extensive renovations of the more than 11,000-square-foot mansion earlier this year after receiving permission from the previous owner to get started before the sale was final. The home’s 16 bedrooms, two kitchens and numerous bathrooms had fallen into disrepair, but still contained many of the original fixtures, according to Albano. “I feel a lot of passion for this home,” he told TBR News Media March 13. “I’m working on it every day, restoring it. My goal is to make it look as it was when it was brand new.” According to “Colonel Rockwell’s Scrapbook,” published by the Smithtown Historical Society in 1968, the house was built around 1846. It once belonged to Obadiah Smith, a great-grandson of Smythe, before eventually becoming the homestead to Ethelbert Marshall Smith, another Smythe descendent, in 1877.

Firefighters spray water down on the blaze in the remains of the Ebo Hill mansion. Albano had posted March 19 on Facebook that “the restoration is going great and today seemed like it was the [first] day that it felt as things were going back together instead of taking things apart.” He was preparing to install a new roof on the building. “It’s very unfortunate as you have a guy who was restoring this property and you look forward to seeing it when you pass by it every day,” Barattini said.

The new owner had said he hoped to open the historic mansion for the public to view once it was fully restored. Though Albano has been purchasing, renovating and reselling properties for decades, he said his intention was to live in the Ebo Hill mansion once the project was completed. There was no reported injuries and the fire is under investigation for unknown causes at this time.

SMITHTOWN PLANNING

Smithtown looks to Gyrodyne for St. James sewers Negotiations may delay town plans to replace Lake Avenue water mains BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Smithtown’s Town supervisor has approached a developer about creating a shared sewer plant to service downtown St. James. Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) said he’s asked Gyrodyne LLC whether it would consider building a shared sewer treatment plant large enough to handle wastewater for the Lake Avenue business district on Flowerfield. The Flowerfield property off Route 25A in St. James is often used to host community festivals and contains freshwater wetlands that feed into Mill Pond in Stony Brook, Stony Brook Harbor and on into Long Island Sound. “They said they would be amicable to having a conversation about it,” Wehrheim said. Gyrodyne has an application pending before Smithtown Planning Board to subdivide the 62 acres of Flowerfield property in St. James to construct a 150-room hotel with a restaurant and day spa, two medical office buildings and a 220-unit assisted living complex with its own sewage treatment facility. After substantial traffic concerns were raised at a Nov. 15, 2017, public hearing, the town has ordered Gyrodyne to complete a full environmental study of its proposal. If the environmental study comes back clean, the supervisor said he believes this could pose a great opportunity for the town. “They have ample property to build the sewage plant,” Wehrheim said. “Even after building the plant, their plans include keeping 30 acres of property undeveloped.” He noted that the 4.5 acres set aside by Gyrodyne for a sewage treatment facility are not adjacent to any residential neighborhood. Wehrheim said he is also interested in seeing if the developer would be open to future discussions on providing sewers for Smithtown’s business district. “Without sewering, we can’t do any kind of revitalization,” he said. Paul Lamb, chairman of Gyrodyne’s board, confirmed that Wehrheim had reached out to the company, but declined any further comment until after his March 30 board meeting. The town has approved $4.6 million in its 2018 capital budget program to fund St. James downtown business district improvements. This includes $2.4 million to tear open Lake Avenue to replace the town’s aging water mains. Wehrheim said the Lake Avenue construction originally slated to start this May could potentially be delayed until 2019. The supervisor said he anticipates the town board will vote at its next meeting on hiring H2M architects to complete a study to determine if installing dry sewer lines would be economically feasible at this time, given the town’s plans for a sewer treatment plant are not solidified. The study, if approved, would take several months to complete and cost about $24,000, according to Wehrheim. “What we are trying to eliminate is the excavation of the road for water mains, then rebuilding the road, sidewalks, curbs — about $2.6 million in restoration work — to find out a year later we have to cut the brand new roads back up,” he said. “It’s wasteful.” If negotiations fail, town officials would be forced to return to their original plans which have a starting price tag of $65 million to sewer and build a plant for the Smithtown business district, according to Wehrheim. Town officials are currently waiting for the state to pass an action that would authorize the town’s use of land proposed for Kings Park’s sewer treatment plant, according to Wehrheim. He hopes to have state approval as early as June.

STATE SARA-MEGAN WALSH

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Roughly a dozen protesters marched up and down Cayuga Avenue in East Northport Friday morning greeting residents as they headed to work with chants of “hey hey, ho ho, predators have got to go.” The New Yorkers Against Hidden Predators, a coalition of child sex abuse survivors, advocates, and advocacy organizations, stood outside state Sen. John Flanagan’s (R) home to protest his opposition to the Child Victims Act March 23. They carried signs reading “Stop protecting predators & start protecting kids” as well as blown up copies of the New York Daily News front cover “Protectors of the Predators” with Flanagan’s photo. The rally’s aim was to push the senate majority leader to use his position among Republicans to negotiate approval of the legislation that would open up the state’s statute of limitations of child-sex abuse crimes. “I think that the power and energy of the ‘Me Too’ movement has really opened people’s eyes,” said Kathryn Robb, a Manhasset resident and child sexual abuse survivor. “We’re saying enough is enough, time is up. The laws in New York need to change. They are archaic and protect the predators, not victims.” The Child Victims Act, if passed, would extend the time that child-sex abuse victims have to file a lawsuit from age 23 to age 28 in criminal cases, and up to age 50 in civil cases. In addition, the passage of the bill would open up a oneyear period where survivors could file claims previously not permitted under the current law. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) included the Child Victims Act in his 2018 executive budget for the first time, after the bill was passed by the state Assembly in 2017. The March 23 rally coincides with the last weekend of negotiations before the April 1 deadline to approve the state budget. The act has been blocked by the Senate Republicans numerous times during the past 14 years, according to Marci Hamilton, a founding member of the New Yorkers Against Hidden Predators and CEO of CHILD USA, a nonprofit think tank that seeks to end child abuse and neglect through evidence-based research. “We are out here to tell Senator Flanagan it’s time to finally put this bill to rest and pass it,” Hamilton said. “He has personally refused to meet with us.” Flanagan and his press office did not respond to requests for comments on the March 23 protests. In a pre-Election Day 2016 sit down with TBR News Media and his then-Democratic challenger Peter Magistrale, Flanagan addressed the Child Victims Act and statutes of limitation. “We have statutes of limitations for very cogent reasons and no matter how emotional a subject may be, witness availability, evidence, all those things have a salutary effect in terms of what happens,” he said. Hamilton said the protest group has plans this afternoon to meet with state Sen. Elaine Phillips (R-Flower Hill) in her office to discuss her position on the Child Victims Act and attempt to negotiate her support of the bill’s passage.

Brittany Schiavone, who runs the local nonprofit Brittany’s Baskets of Hope, visited with National Junior Honor Society students at Accompsett Middle School in the Smithtown school district March 14. The organization assembles and donates baskets for newborns around the country with Down syndrome. Schiavone, who has Down syndrome, said she started the nonprofit to welcome babies and their families to the Down syndrome family.

She spoke to students about her mission to make a change in the world and not be attached to the stereotypes that come along with different disabilities. The organization brings information, support and guidance to families who have given birth to a baby with Down syndrome. During the last 18 months, she has sent more than 600 baskets throughout the United States. The baskets are filled with baby items such as onesies that

read “Downright perfect”; rattles, headbands, hand-knitted blankets, sweaters; resources and information for the parents; and a message from Brittany’s parents about raising a child with Down syndrome. Sheri Fallacaro, National Junior Honor Society adviser, was one of her former teachers and organized the presentation for the middle school students. The National Junior Honor Society members also donated items to help fill baskets.

A taste of Senegal

After completing a unit on West African countries and culture, students in Kristen Romond’s French 5 class at Smithtown High School East converted their classroom into a culinary and cultural experience from Senegal. The class learned about the French-speaking country of Senegal. A large mat replaced the desks

where the students shared a meal in typical Senegalese fashion. The drum lead rhythms of West African mbalax music filled the air and brought the experience to life. The students learned about proper mealtime, social etiquette of sitting on the communal mat, and eating with their right hands following traditional cultural practices.

Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) recognized Frank Mastroianni of Boy Scout Troop 125 at his recent Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Mastroianni earned the rank of Eagle Scout through consistent dedication to the community, fulfilling his scouting obligations and with the completion of his Eagle Scout project. Mastroianni’s project consisted of planning and installing a teaching garden at North Ridge Elementary School in Commack. He created a garden where the students can learn about botany

and sustainable practices while also having fun outside. “Frank, your pledge to our town has been evident since you joined the Scouts and now that you have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, which you will have for the rest of your life, you have truly proved that you are an active member of our community who wants only the best for our youth and the great people of Legislative District 13, which I represent,” Trotta said. “I applaud your actions and urge you to continue doing good deeds.”

Town publishes draft Crab Meadow Watershed Plan Public comments on study accepted through April 30 BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

157288

SARA-MEGAN WALSH

Huntington Town officials released a draft of the long-awaited Crab Meadow Watershed Plan for public review March 23. The 154-page study was prepared by GEI Consultants, with the goal of developing a community-driven stewardship plan that highlights best practices in the future management of the watershed area. The study focused on evaluating the environmental conditions of roughly 6 square miles of downward-sloping land around the Jerome A. Ambro Memorial Wetland Preserve in Fort Salonga. “Policies on everything from golf course pesticides to the types of road salt that we use can have an effect on the wetlands,” said Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) in a statement. “By adopting a stewardship plan, the town is looking to implement policies in the collective best interests of the environment.” John Hayes, president of the Fort Salonga Property Owners Association, said his civic’s members have long awaited the results of this study. They believe its results would justify their concerns about development on Indian Hills Country Club, which lays on the border of Huntington and Smithtown.

Developer Jim Tsunis and The Northwind Group have a subdivision application pending before Huntington Planning Board to construct 98 townhouses for seniors age 55 and older, to be named The Preserve at Indian Hills, alongside the existing golf course and expanding the current clubhouse. The Fort Salonga association has asked town officials to place a moratorium on new developments in the Crab Meadow Watershed area, which includes Indian Hills, until the stewardship plan was completed. They fear the addition of 98 homes will be devastating to the local wetlands. “You don’t have to be a genius to see that the report indicates that it’s not a good idea,” Hayes said. He pointed to a portion of the draft study that recognizes the watershed area is currently built out to its zoned density and, in his interpretation, any new development could severely impact the local wetlands. “It does say that the development whether on existing sites or small developments — and this is not a small development — has the potential to take an incremental toll on the system,” Hayes said. “It follows that the primary watershed area, which includes Indian Hills Country Club, has the potential to have a more direct impact. That’s pretty straightforward.”

Indian Hills Country Club, pictured above, falls within the Crab Meadow Watershed area. The property owners also cited concerns regarding excessive water runoff if townhouses are built on the bluff’s slopes. The proposed development they fear could worsen existing flooding of local roadways and increase pollutant levels of nitrates and phosphorus in various bodies of water, including Fresh Water Pond. The Town of Huntington Planning Board is expected to vote Wednesday night on a resolution that would require The Northwind Group to perform a full environmental study of its proposed development. “The board will be utilizing portions of the draft Crab Meadow Watershed study to substantiate its decision to issue a positive [SEQRA] declaration,” said town spokes-

woman Lauren Lembo. “A positive declaration is issued in order to establish the fact that the intended project may have one or more significant environmental impacts and that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement must be prepared to analyze potential impacts.” Residents can review the full draft watershed report on the town’s website under the Planning and Environment Department page at: www.huntingtonny.gov/crab-meadowwatershed. The town is accepting all public comments through April 30 either online or letters can be mailed to: Huntington Town Hall, Department of Maritime Services (Room 300), 100 Main St., Huntington, NY 11743.


MARCH 29, 2018 • TIMES OF SMITHTOWN • PAGE A11

BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The emotional roller coaster was worth the ride for the Smithtown East kickline team. Over the last eight months, the Whisperettes have put sweat, tears and hours of practice into transforming from a team that sat out of the first competition of the season to one that kept Smithtown East’s streak alive by taking first in small high kick at nationals for the 20th straight year. It was a huge feat for the team after graduating a strong group of experienced seniors. “That alone was an obstacle in itself,” six-year head coach Sarahbeth Cook said. “We took on many new members who had a small idea of what it took to be a part of this program. The girls had to come to terms with and help motivate one another to know they were worth succeeding, just like those who had done so before them.” Smithtown East placed second in small high kick in the second competition of the season, and the girls had a tough time coming to grips with the result, because the Whisperettes are known for being at the top of their game. Feeling discouraged and disappointed, the girls used their emotions as fuel to feed the fire. “We knew who we are, and we still had to keep our heads high,” junior captain Elizabeth Orlandi said. “We didn’t want anyone to think it bothered us. We want to look like a professional team. We sucked it up, but we also put those emotions we felt toward our practices, working hard to turn it around.”

The Whisperettes, putting in three-hour practices five days a week, placed first in small high kick and third in jazz at the third and final competition at the Scholastic Kickline Championships at Nassau County Community College. “Their confidence was back, and desire had risen,” Cook said. “They were reminded of the many teams before them that paved the way. Every team has their struggles, and I made it a point to make sure the girls were able to understand that no one is perfect. We all have to work through our obstacles and fight for what it is we want. And that’s in life — that’s beyond being on kickline.” Sophomore Kelsey Finn said her team improved in a short period of time after the early growing pains. “It took a little longer to flip the switch,” she said. “Once everyone was on the same page, we were on our game all the time and we really started to see results. Those next few practices in between the competitions were really productive.” With a long-standing streak on the line, the girls were nervous, putting a lot of pressure on themselves to excel. Smithtown East has been competing in the Contest of Champions since 1996. Orlandi said the nerves disappeared as soon as her team stepped out on the stage. “It’s really bright lights shining on you, the music is really loud, it gets our adrenaline going and we all get pumped up to do our best,” she said. “When we perform it creates such a different atmosphere. When you walk off the stage no one wants to feel regret. It’s the last time we do our dance, so everyone wants to put their all into it.”

At least the girls thought it was their last time performing. After not just placing first in small high kick Division II, but also in best in category of all the high kick divisions and second in medium high kick, the girls became the second group of Whisperettes in Smithtown East history to be invited by the judges to perform an encore on awards night. “It’s so rewarding, because you put in so much time practicing from August until March,” Orlandi said. “Knowing you did it and you kept the legacy going, I felt like I was on top of the world.” Orlandi and others credited Cook with the team’s success. A former Whisperette herself, Cook was captain her senior year in 2007 before attending Marymount Manhattan College as a dance major with a concentration in teaching. While in college she danced professionally for the New York Knicks during NBA games, and has performed with musical artists like Pitbull, Jason Derulo and Kevin Rudolph. She took over at Smithtown in 2012, which was the only other year Smithtown East was asked to perform an encore. “She understands what we’re feeling, so she can connect to us easier,” Orlandi said. “Knowing she’s been in our place, we know success is possible. She’s a huge motivator, and while teams may be just as skilled as us, she takes us up a notch with her choreography.” More often than not, teams perform feel-good, jumpy routines, but Smithtown

East takes things a little more serious. This year the Whisperettes performed a clown routine based on the Stephen King novel and adapted film, “It.” Cook’s tricks took a lot to perfect, but once the girls got it down, the team was able to capitalize on extra points. The costumes and makeup also enhanced the team’s dark, moody routine. “When people see us backstage, a lot of people get intimidated just by our makeup,” Orlandi said. Finn said she agreed Cook helps her team stand out. “People come up to us and say, ‘I’ve never seen a routine like that before,’” she said. “It draws people in, makes them more interested. I don’t know how she comes up with it.” After everyone seemed to doubt Smithtown East, those on and off the team, Cook pointed to traits like senior Arielle Park’s balance and commitment, and team MVP Chelsea Wallace’s positivity and fight, as reasons why success was possible. “They had a tough season, but truly rose to the occasion and received more than they had ever thought they were capable,” Cook said. “I wanted the girls to be able to walk away from this journey and apply the lessons learned throughout their life anytime they find themselves in a struggle. I think the girls were able to see their expectation was bigger than just them. They wanted to do well for more than just themselves.”

OPINION Editorial

Keep the wheels in motion The 1980s rock band White Lion said it best when they sang: “When the children cry let them know we tried, ’cause when the children sing then the new world begins.” Children across the country ensured their cries were heard March 24 when millions of them took to the streets to call for implementation of stricter gun control laws as part of hundreds of March for Our Lives rallies. Now we have a challenge for them and the parents and grandparents who joined them — keep the momentum. The rallies were inspired by the battle cries of students who survived the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. For centuries, protesting has been a popular way to get politicians to pay attention, but those rallying calls need to be followed by action in order to get things done. We surmise many if not most of the student marchers understand this is just beginning, like Avalon Fenster, one of the organizers of the March 24 rally in Huntington. “In the long term, we want to get youth more civically involved, collaborating with elected officials to create legislation that makes our lives a priority,” Fenster said. It’s something Port Jefferson High School students Ben Zaltsman, Matt Pifko and Gavin Barrett also get. These students helped establish a station in their high school where their peers can get assistance in writing letters to their representatives. Letter writing, emailing and calling the offices of elected officials is a vital process to let legislators know what their constituents want and need. However, writing to a congressman is not the end of the line either if true change is the students’ goal. All the letters and phone calls in the world mean nothing if a person isn’t registered to vote. The March for Our Lives website, www.marchforourlives.com, has set up a form to make it easier for voters to register. It’s a rite of passage and a civic responsibility when a teen turns 18. High school students who are heading off to college in the fall need to also familiarize themselves and their peers with the process of obtaining and submitting an absentee ballot. If you are registered to vote in Setauket but go to school at SUNY Cortland, unless you’re driving home on the morning of Nov. 6, an absentee ballot is your only option. Simply showing up to fill out a ballot is not enough either. People of all ages need to ask themselves what matters most to them, and then see how their representatives in the U. S. Senate, House of Representatives and state positions vote on issues. There’s one more step 18-year-old marchers need to keep on the table as well. If you feel you and your community are not being represented effectively by those in power, consider running for office, or at least help those who represent your interests get elected. That’s what 24-year-old Josh Lafazan did last November, and he became Nassau County’s youngest legislator. For a few political offices — including New York State senator and assemblyperson — the minimum age requirement is 18 years old. To serve in the federal government, you must be at least 25 years old. Leslie Gibson, a Republican candidate for the Maine House of Representatives, is a living embodiment of what is possible. He recently dropped out of his race after receiving criticism for remarks he made on Twitter about Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, including calling Emma Gonzalez, who has been in the forefront of the movement, a “skinhead lesbian.” He had been running unopposed, but after he made the comment, challengers sprung up from both parties, including a 28-year-old Democrat who had never considered seeking political office before. We’ve heard the children’s cries. Now the real work begins.

Letters to the editor

Mr. President: Let the GEC do its job Dear President Trump, We write today regarding the Department of State’s Global Engagement Center. In particular, we write to urge you to enable and fully resource the GEC to effectively execute its roles and responsibilities in leading the United States efforts to counter the exploitation of the information environment by state and non-state actors aimed at undermining U.S. national security interests. The 2018 National Security Strategy acknowledges the risk weaponization of information poses to U.S. national security. Examples include the Islamic State’s successful use of propaganda for recruiting and inspiring violence and the Russian Federation’s continuous employment of global information operations aimed at undermining democratic institutions, values and principles. The 2018 NSS concludes that “U.S. efforts to counter the exploitation of information by rivals have been tepid and fragmented.” Although we agree with this statement, we note that Congress, and this committee in particular, has legislated in a manner that provides for the

synchronized, coordinated, wholeof-government approach required to effectively counter state and non-state actors’ activities in the information environment that threaten U.S. national security. Specifically, section 1287 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 statutorily established the GEC within the Department of State. Section 1287 authorizes the GEC, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense and heads of other relevant federal agencies and departments, to lead, synchronize, and coordinate the efforts of the federal government to recognize, understand, expose and counter foreign state and nonstate propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining U.S. national security interests. This authorization not only expanded the original scope and mission of the GEC to also counter state-sponsored propaganda, but it provided additional authority for DOD to transfer up to $60 million to support the GEC’s efforts. The 2018 NSS identifies priority actions, such as innovation and driving effective communications that the GEC is well-poised to lead as a result of this law. We are therefore

disappointed that to date your administration has not provided adequate resources, including funding and personnel, to the GEC to carry out its mission and, furthermore, that you have not yet appointed a director to lead the agency in this endeavor. Our nation must bolster efforts to counter exploitation of the information environment. We can no longer afford to assume the risk exploitation incurs to our citizens and our democratic institutions and values. We urge you to provide adequate authorities and resources to the GEC so that it, in conjunction with relevant agencies and departments, may begin work on a comprehensive strategy and conduct associated activities to carry out its roles and responsibilities to counter weaponization of information. Finally, we implore you to immediately appoint a director of the GEC to lead our nation’s effort against this threat. Thank you for your attention to this matter and we look forward to your response.

Barron YoungSmith U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Armed Services

Students are again making a difference The March 24 March for Our Lives will be remembered most for the powerful voices and intensity of the students who marched and spoke out against great odds. They have begun a journey of activism that has the potential to permanently awaken a generation. For those young people committed to that journey, I would like to propose a next step in their self-education. Read Dr. Martin Luther King’s 1964 book, “Why We Can’t Wait.” The book is the history of the six-month struggle that led up to the March on Washington and Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. It includes the story of the major part played by brave young students who were the “foot soldiers” in that struggle. Although 1963 was the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, African-Americans in parts of the American South still

lived in a virtual terrorist state, enforced both legally and illegally. But a decade of events preceding the spring of 1963 had brought them a new sense of pride and determination, and a growing awareness by many American that things had to change. America would not have had a march on Washington or Dr. King’s speech without the successful “Birmingham campaign” in April 1963. Dr. King’s decision to tackle “Bombingham,” the city regarded as the most segregated and most violent in the deep South, was a strategic and risky gamble. And a key element of its success was the courage and discipline of thousands of high school and younger students who studied, trained and pledged themselves to nonviolent direct action. These brave students stood up against police, police dogs,

fire hoses, beatings and arrest to fill the jails of Birmingham to overflowing. Television brought this shocking struggle into the living rooms of America for the first time and virtually shamed Americans in front of the rest of the world. “Why We Can’t Wait” is an incredible firsthand narrative which nails down a turning point in history that paved the way for the many liberation movements that have followed. But it is also a primer on the power of nonviolent activism combined with the determination of courageous young people. That combination, God willing, may once again be moving this nation further toward the ultimate dream of America’s founders: “Justice for all.” Bravo.

OPINION

Voting with our wallets against toxic messages

W

e’ve reached a period of outrageous outrageousness. Or maybe extremes of extremism. I read recently about an advertisement by a beer company that seems overtly racist. Now, I’m not going to name the company because that might accomplish what it could have been attempting in the first place, which is to get its brand name in front of people. This company has caused quite a stir by linking the color of beer By Daniel Dunaief to its quality, which in turn is linked to race in the ad. What’s happening in the country? Have we reached the stage where all news is good news? We live in a world of such polarization, so many shrill messages and

D. None of the above

such a rapid news cycle that you almost have to be outrageous and ridiculous to get attention and to remain in the public’s eye for more than just a moment. It’s not an unprecedented phenomenon. Borrowing from the fictional world, poor Roxie Hart from the show “Chicago” is “the name on everyone’s lips,” as the song goes. But then, once the gripping trial ends, the newest crime of passion captivates the city’s attention, relegating Roxie to a less prominent place in the dramas of the Windy City. In our real world, which sometimes seems to require a reality check, people doubt everything. Why, just the other year, the current president questioned the national origin of the previous one. Doubt and cynicism are all by-products of a shrill time where people shout alternative facts from the rooftops. And to bring matters up to speed, current politicians are questioning the motives of the Parkland shooting survivors. Some suggest

that left-leaning people who want to take away everyone’s guns are manipulating America’s youth. These students are not too young to die, but are somehow considered too young to have formed such an energized national movement. Are people becoming more extreme with their time, with their emotions and with their donations? Yes, without a doubt. As the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates suggested, “desperate times call for desperate measures.” He was describing the response to life-threatening diseases and not to people who feel their lives are threatened leaving their homes. As Long Island native Billy Joel sang in 1989, “we didn’t start the fire.” While that’s true, and people have lived through periods of considerable instability and uncertainty, we are living in a time defined by extremes. At some point, We the People have to decide what we can accept and what we can’t. That beer advertisement seems to be a cheap ploy put together by a cynical advertising

executive, who has now pulled the ad after it may have served its purpose. Maybe this executive got his or her wish and more. Not only are people talking about it, but the company may also not have to pay as much for the ad, because now they’re not running it anymore. How do we combat such unacceptable messages and decide when a company has crossed the red line? One possible solution is to follow the example of the United States government. When other countries create intolerable situations for their citizens or our citizens or the world, we start by hitting these nations in their wallets and refuse to buy their products. Maybe a decline in sales at a company would send the kind of message that defeats the notion that all press is good press. Other cynical executives might get the message if the stock price or sales fell after such an advertisement polluted the company’s image. With our consumer decisions, we can send messages that it’s not OK to be offensive and outrageous just to sell another product or a toxic idea.

his year the real March Madness wasn’t basketball. It was the number of nor’easters we in the Northeast endured. This will forever be the year of the nor’easters, one right after the other with snowfalls, flooding and especially the high winds. Many old trees are no longer with us. As the first quarter of the new year ends, we are hopeful that the old adage, “March in like a By Leah S. Dunaief comes lion and goes out like a lamb,” will prove to be true. The forecasts are promising. We have some exciting plans for the community that we believe will further enliven the next quarter of the

year. On June 12, TBR News Media — that’s us — will offer a new event. It is called Cooks, Books & Corks, and it will be held at the Bates House in Setauket. For those who might not know the location, it is that lovely house inside Frank Melville Park, near the Mill Pond, usually used for wedding receptions, and it can be reached via a driveway opposite the Emma Clark Library and just past the two entrance roads to Strong’s Neck. We will have balloons and signage marking the way. So what is Cooks, Books & Corks? It is to be a grand marriage of mind and body on a joyful June Tuesday evening, from 6 to 9 p.m., that will combine good food from local restaurants with good books by local authors, all of which will go down easily with some good wine. We are encouraging the restauranteurs to bring tastings of their favorite dishes and the authors to offer their books for sale throughout the event. The views from the bluestone patio and the picture window are beautiful and serene in the middle

of the woods, and we will hope for a soft, summer breeze to erase all memories of past nor’easters. Besides being just plain fun and a forum for our local restaurants, local wineries and celebrated authors, Cooks, Books & Corks is a fundraiser intended to pay for an intern from the Stony Brook University School of Journalism this summer. We have held such fundraisers for that purpose in the past, and the internships have helped launch several young journalists into their careers. Tickets will be $50 per person for the food and wine, and although not tax deductible, all funds will go toward paying the intern. The cost of any books you might choose to buy will be up to you. We hope there will be irresistible books for children offered for sale as well as for us adults. Further, a ticket to Cooks, Books & Corks will enable the purchaser to have a reserved seat at the Stony Brook premiere of our film, “One Life to Give,” to be held on June 24, a

Sunday evening. The film is a prequel of sorts to the story of the Culper Spy Ring that played a vital role in the Revolutionary War. Headquartered in Setauket, Washington’s spies fed critical intelligence to the Patriots of such high value that, in one instance, information enabled French soldiers to disembark safely from their ships and join the fight in the colonies. The cable channel, AMC, ran popular stories of the spies, “Turn: Washington’s Spies,” for four seasons, which ended last year. Our full-length film, by contrast, endeavors to be historically authentic. More details about the premiere will be forthcoming. I do want to give you this heads-up for the coming enjoyable events we have planned for the community. We think they will make you proud of where you live. And why do we do this? That’s easy. We’re committed to strengthening the sense of community because we are the community paper. And website. And social media. And now producers of historical films. Happy Spring!
