Smithtown High School East students, school officials, board members, nonprofit groups and members of the Martella family gathered at Smithtown High School East on Sept. 26 to kick off their combined efforts to honor the memory of Scott Martella. Martella, a Smithtown native and former Smithtown board of education member, died in a three-car crash on the Long Island Expressway Aug. 21, 2016. Smithtown High School East students will organize a year-long community service project to directly benefit veterans. Five Smithtown High School East seniors — Brooke Berroyer, Caroline Loiodice, Sofia Palazzolo, Brianna Saggese and Isabelle Sicoli — will be working to benefit the nonprofit United Veterans Beacon House, which works to ensure servicemen and women with temporary and permanent homes. The students, who are all part of

a leadership class, will work with Beacon House to help understand some of the housing issues facing veterans on Long Island. The students plan to start the grassroots effort and anticipate their activities will grow as the year progresses. Working with the United Way of Long Island, the district’s newly launched Scott Martella Scholarship Memorial Fund will provide scholarships to students who will be attending college whose studies may include international relations or public service. Theresa Regnante, CEO and president of United Way, spoke about the connection between the school district and nonprofit. “Scott was a young man who made such an impact in such a short time,” Regnante said. “We really hope the district takes hold of this project and it becomes a great opportunity for years to come.” — Sara-MEgan WalSH

Town Bulls run through Smithtown streets for charity By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Hundreds of residents showed off their athleticism and generosity this past weekend in Smithtown during the 12th annual 5K Running of the Bull, which benefits local children in need. On the grounds of the New York Avenue Smithtown Central School District administrative building, spectators rang mini cowbells and giant speakers played the “Rocky” theme song as more than 200 runners raced down a 3.1-mile course along Forestwood Park to the finish line during this year’s fundraiser. The competitors ranged in age from 11 to 82. Each finisher was met at the end of the race with cheers from family and friends, food from local eateries and raffle drawings. Commack resident Stephen Abruzzo, 47, who came in first with a run time of 18 minutes 28 seconds, has been running in the Greater Smithtown Chamber of Commerce event since it began in 2006. “It’s all about giving back to the local charity,” Abruzzo said. “This is a great cause and this race is a great reflection of the Smithtown community.” Dominick LoGiudice came from Patchogue to take part in the event for the first time. “I heard it’s a well-run event and the charity angle is unbelievable,” he said. “We all have to do our part.” All proceeds from the 5K Running of the Bull go to Angela’s House, a Hauppaugebased nonprofit with locations in East Moriches, Smithtown and Stony Brook that assists families caring for children with special health care needs. The funds primarily cover the costs of what insurance companies won’t, like sending a child to a specialty camp or providing expensive mobility equipment such as adaptive strollers. The race helps the 25-year organization continue to provide special needs families the ‘yes’ after everybody else says ‘no,’ according to founder and executive director, Bob Policastro, who also competed. “When a parent sees an event like this advertised, it’s like, ‘Wow, my town is supporting an agency that’s supporting us,’” Policastro said. “A lot of them feel very alone as their life can be restricted. So when they know a community is rallying around them, it’s like a boost that they need and deserve.” When Mark Mancini of the Greater Smithtown Chamber of Commerce first joined the group in 2005, he said he pitched the idea of a 5K run for a charity, which he said was met with lukewarm responses from his fellow board members. “It was a little shocking to me,” he said. “But that all changed after the first Running of the Bull. The chamber after that wanted to get charities for everything. One event basically kick-started others.” Mancini said after he learned about Angela’s House and Policastro — who started the organization after his own daughter died from medical complications in 1990 — he was determined to make it the focus of the run. The race has also benefited other charities over the years, such as The Courtney Sipes Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit founded in memory of a Smithtown student struck and killed by a car on Main Street in 2009.

“This is so important,” Mancini said. “It’s such a positive event and just the thing that we need.” Barbara Franco, executive director of the chamber, agreed. “It’s a fabulous day for the community, for families, for children, for pets,” Franco said with a laugh and pointed out a bulldog dressed in an event T-shirt. “If mom is running, dad and the kids cheer her on. If dad’s running, the whole family’s behind him.” Chamber president, Robert Cartelli, who led the 1K fun run for young children and their parents before the main race, said this is among his favorite events in Smithtown. “I love it,” Cartelli said. “I look at this community as a pulse of Long Island and I’m very happy to be part of this family event. It’s the best.” A check with funds raised by the event will be presented to Angela’s House during the chamber’s holiday party in December.

Suffolk County Police’s Marine Bureau rescued two fishermen who became caught in a current in the Long Island Sound in Fort Salonga Sept. 21. Carlos Jeronimo and Wilfredo Belc were fishing off of a jetty at Crab Meadow Beach when they went into the water and became caught in an outgoing tidal current that pulled them away from the shore. A witness called 911 at 2:35 p.m. and Marine Bureau officers Cory Kim and Keith Walters hopped aboard Marine Bravo, responded and rescued the two men

who were approximately 300 yards from the shore. The Marine Bureau was assisted by Suffolk County 2nd Precinct officers Daniel Denig, Richard Murphy, Joseph Reilly, Michael Caponi and Paul Weibke who helped guide the Marine Bureau officers in finding the victims. Jeronimo, 26, and Belc, 27, both of Jamaica, Queens, were transported by Northport Fire Department to Huntington Hospital. — SARA-MegAn WAlSh

Parents sue Kings Park district over sexting incident ‘The only way that [he] or any other student could possibly make sure that he did not find himself in an “incident similar in nature” during the coming year is if he stopped receiving text messages all together.’

Two parents are suing the Kings Park Central School District over a 2015 sexting incident, claiming handling of the matter humiliated their sons and violated their freedom of speech. Andrew Fenton, of Fort Salonga, and Thomas Phelan, of Kings Park, filed a lawsuit after their sons were among more than 25 students suspended for having received a sexual video via text message. The lawsuit, filed Sept. 19, 2017, in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleges the “suspension of [the students] for receiving a video, unsolicited, which they did not show or send to anyone else, and which bore no nexus to an ensuing school disruption was arbitrary and capricious.” Both Fenton and Phelan seek damages for “humiliation and anguish” of their sons and their records expunged of the suspension. On Nov. 4, 2015, dozens of Kings Park High School students received a video on their cellphones of two 14-year-olds having sex while at home, according to court documents. When an assistant principal saw a ninth-grader playing the video in the high school’s cafeteria Nov. 6, school officials began an extensive investigation. The phones of all students who still had the video were temporarily confiscated, according to court documents. School district officials allege both Fenton’s and Phelon’s sons still had the video. Under Kings Park’s Guidelines for Implementation of School Discipline Policy, “inappropriate texting and use of social media” and “selling, using, transmitting or possessing obscene material” are considered Level IV infractions punishable by up to five days suspension and parental contact. On Nov. 9 and 10, Kings Park High School Principal Lino Bracco sent certified mail to Fenton and Phelan notifying them that their sons, sophomores at the time, would be suspended for one day for “inappropriate use of an electronic device.” The letter warned that the students were “prohibited from entering upon school grounds for any reason and should remain home under supervision.” Fenton said he did not receive the Nov. 9 letter in time, and his son was escorted out of the high school on Nov. 10 by two uniformed police officers, according to court documents. By letter dated Nov. 18, Kings Park Superintendent Timothy Eagen made an offer to parents that they could submit a request for their child’s disciplinary record to be reviewed, and barring any similar incidents, the suspension would be expunged. Both parents retained Middletown-based attorneys, partners Robert Isseks and Andrew Smith, who sent letters dated Dec. 9, 2015, requesting the suspensions be immediately removed from the students’ records alleging “they never possessed the message in school or on school property.” Both parents said Kings Park school district’s cellphone policy also infringed on their sons’ right to free speech. “The only way that [he] or any other student could possibly make sure that he did not find himself in an ‘incident similar in nature’ during the coming year is if he stopped receiving text messages all together,” reads the Dec. 9 letter. An appeal was made to New York State Department of Education, whose Commissioner Mary Ellen Elia ruled Nov. 10, 2016, that the district’s “suspension of [the students] for receiving a video, unsolicited, which they did not show or send to anyone else, and which bore no nexus to an ensuring school disruption, was arbitrary and capricious.” Elia ordered Kings Park school district to annul and expunge the suspension. Eagen said that as at press time, Kings Park school district had yet to be served with the lawsuit. “Parents will sometimes address a particular issue through a media solution rather than an administrative or due process solution,” Eagen said. “However, in choosing this path, sometimes parents will share certain personal and/or confidential information that then becomes a part of public record.” The superintendent said the district’s policy and practice is to not comment on specific student disciplinary matters and/ or pending lawsuits. Attorney Smith could not be reached for comment by press time. Principal Bracco did not return phone calls requesting an interview or comment.

County

Trotta: says red-light camera stats being manipulated By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) is calling for an investigation into the county’s annual Red Light Safety Program report, which he said has purposefully, and illegally, eliminated data on car accidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists. Trotta stood with fellow legislators and colleagues Sept. 21 at the intersection of Route 25A and Miller Place Road in Miller Place to address his ongoing concerns with a lack of available statistics surrounding accidents, injuries and deaths due to the county’s red-light camera program, highlighting a conversation he had last month with a traffic engineer of Nelson & Pope, the company that prepares the annual reports. Page A26 According to Trotta, the traffic engineer advised him that the company was instructed not to include the pedestrian- and bicycle-involved accidents at red-light camera locations in reports in order to paint a better picture of the program. The reports are submitted to the state and made available to the public. The most recent report was released earlier this year and highlighted statistics for 2016. While pedestrian- and bicycle-involved accidents have been reported in a scattered few reports since the program began in 2010, the data has not been included in the last two years’ reports. Trotta said the data exclusion is a violation of the state’s motor vehicle and traffic law, which states the mandatory annual report must include the number, type and severity of all accidents reported at these intersections with traffic control devices. He also said it is not clear who is behind the data exclusion — the county or the company behind the red-light camera program. Trotta urged the state attorney general to get involved and hold the guilty party accountable. “How can anybody adequately look at the positive or negative features of a program when they’re not getting all the data?” Trotta said during the press conference. The legislator has long been opposed to the program, which he said he believes is the cause of an uptick in accidents throughout the area and is merely a ticket and revenuegenerating scam by the county. “There are multiple reasons why this program should be shut down immediately and I’m aghast by the fact that we’re doing nothing and we are lying to the public by not including the pedestrians and the bicyclists. When I found out about this, I couldn’t believe it.” Trotta was joined by legislators Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) and Tom Muratore (R-Selden), as well as county Legislature candidate Gary Pollakusky (R), at the busy intersection where two teenagers have died after being struck by cars, which features red-light cameras. “We lost a child here on a bicycle and a child here as a pedestrian,” Trotta said, referring to 14-year-old Nico Signore who died earlier this year, and 16-year-old John Luke, who died in 2015. “But I guess that doesn’t mean anything to anybody because they’re not even including [those accidents] in the report. I absolutely think there’s coercion with the county and this company to keep the money stream coming in. This entire program is just a calamity of errors.” Pollakusky said he supports the suspension of the red-light camera program due to its negative impact on public safety. “The red-light camera program is a money grab by [County Executive Steve Bellone (D)] and the Democrats in the Legislature and has been sold to the public as a public safety program — it is anything but safe,” Pollakusky said, stressing that accidents have increased after the redlight cameras were installed. He also took issue with his opponent, Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), who initially voted against the program but has since come to agree with its mission of changing poor traffic. “[She] is famous for saying, ‘If it saves one child’s life,’

Editorial comment

it’s worth it [but] this program that you and your cohorts support, Mrs. Anker, has hurt innocent drivers, pedestrians and children alike,” Pollakusky said. Personal injury lawyer David Raimondo, based in Lake Grove, represents the Luke family and pointed to an omission of data, including fatalities of pedestrians in auto accidents, in a presentation before the county Legislature in 2014 that led to the red-light camera program’s renewal. “It’s up for renewal in 2019 and if we don’t have the proper data before the Legislature, it will continue to be renewed and we cannot let that happen,” Raimondo said. “It’s very important this program come to an end, it be suspended and that the suffering of the taxpayers of Suffolk County — both financially and physically — end.”

Cool chemistry

Sixth-grade technology students throughout the Smithtown Central School District participated in a tasty lesson on Sept. 15. The students made their own ice cream as part of their science of technology module. At Great Hollow Middle School, sixthgraders in Brian Costello’s technology class learned about atoms and molecules as an introduction to chemistry. The class then stud-

ied chemical engineering and how it is used in food production. Using ice, salt, sugar, vanilla and heavy cream, the students learned how the salt disrupts the frozen water molecules causing the ice to melt. Using different mixing methods, the groups measured the temperatures of the cold liquid that eventually turned into a frozen ice cream mixture.

Planting community roots

Sarah Adamo, a senior at Smithtown High School West, decided to give something back to the school community that is so special to her. As part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Adamo built garden box planters for the outdoor space at Accompsett Middle School. The planters, which she painted blue and feature AMS displayed on the outside, are filled with different plantings to beautify the outdoor space used during recess and outdoor educational instruction. Adamo has been a Girl Scout since kin-

dergarten and has been working on her Gold Award project since last May. She selected the middle school because of the personal connection she feels toward the school. “I remember all of the teachers and administrators who made my years here a great experience,” she said. “Now students can use this space to learn as part of the horticulture elective class as well.” Adamo also made garden boxes for the local nursing homes. She is pictured above with Accompsett Principal Paul McNeil.

Capturing life

Zoe Richman, an eighth-grader at Accompsett Middle School, is using her keen eye for photography to brighten up the hallways of her school. Zoe’s love of photography prompted her to show some of the photos on her cellphone to her art teacher, Jennifer Kapps-Fleming, last year. Working with her teacher, Zoe took still-life photos of different objects found in the elective rooms in the middle school. After photographing and editing the photos, Zoe met with the teachers so they could choose the photos that best represented their classrooms. The pictures are now perma-

nently framed installations featured outside of each class, to add beauty to the school in a unique way and also help students identify classrooms. For example, the art room features a photo of colored pencils and paint, while the chorus room highlights piano keys. Zoe’s photos can be found outside the home and career, technology, music, art, band rooms and more. This school year, she plans to start phase two of the project, photographing the core classes throughout the building. Zoe, pictured above left, with art teacher Jennifer Kapps-Fleming.

Festive fall history Despite 90-degree temperatures, nearly 1,000 visitors of all ages spent the day at the Friends of Caleb Smith Preserve’s 4th annual Fall Festival Sept. 24. Children fished on the peninsula at Willow Pond, played Colonial and Native American games, made dream catchers and painted free pumpkins at the crafts table. Naturalists Eric Powers and Jan Porinchak hosted informative na-

ture events. There were exhibits by Three Bees Aviary and antique cars. Musicians, including singer and songwriter Mike Tedesco, played on the back lawn as festival attendees listened and enjoyed lunch at tables under tents. Peter Paquette, dressed as George Washington, spent the day speaking with children about the Revolutionary War and the history behind Caleb Smith Preserve.

Clockwise from left, Vince D’alto evades a tackle as he rushes with the ball; Dylan Winwood drags a defender on his tail as he carries the ball up the field; Michael Trupiano and Julius Close tackle a Hauppauge running back; and Marco Carrado looks for an open receiver to make a pass.

Dylan Winwood competes in final football game By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Dylan Winwood couldn’t ask for a better way to end his football career. Kings Park’s senior tailback/slot receiver hybrid and safety battled on the gridiron one last time Sept. 23, before getting seasonending surgery to repair a torn labrum. Winwood’s injury occurred in a scrimmage Sept. 1, and he asked his doctor to clear him to play in one final game. Upon getting approval, he decided his last performance would be at homecoming.

Kings Park 7 Hauppauge 2

“Any win is sweet for our coaches and our team, but having a great crowd to play in front of for homecoming made the atmosphere electric,” he said. “I can’t thank our fan base enough, truly one of the best groups on the Island.” Although the team could credit running back Vince D’Alto for its 7-2 win over Hauppauge (0-2), Winwood also credited the Kingsmen’s fans and new surroundings for helping the team seal the deal. “I felt great out on the field and the lights were fantastic,” he said of the stadium’s new ambiance. “I felt like homecoming made it that much sweeter — with the crowd and the team going crazy after every play.” The junior running back scored the only touchdown of the day — on a 32-yard run in the first quarter. D’Alto said he was looking to ride a routine push play, but happened to stumble across a hole in the defensive line and carried the ball into the end zone. Senior Mike Trupiano’s point-after attempt was good to put the Kingsmen (2-2) up 7-0. “I was just trying to get some yards to get out of our own end zone, but there was a hole and I took it,” said D’Alto, who finished with 155 yards on 15 carries. “It was a great team effort and there were a lot of ups and downs, but a win is a win.” Despite the offense not playing up to its preferred tempo, the Kingsmen’s defensive unit was willing and able to pick up the slack, especially co-captain Winwood. “I feel [the win] was due to our stout defensive effort,” he said. “The whole team rallied around a stellar defensive performance.” The senior said he thought D’Alto was strong on both sides of the ball to help propel the team to victory.

“He was running extremely aggressive and was making plays on the defensive end that helped seal the game for us,” Winwood said. “This year’s team is definitely one of the fastest teams in our division. We have a bunch of athletes just waiting to make plays, and I’m looking forward to the Kingsmen capturing more wins in the future.” D’Alto said he was inspired by Winwood’s willingness to put his career on the line to play football one last time, especially since he already has a lacrosse scholarship to Florida Southern College. “Dylan had a lot of courage playing in

his last game with a lacrosse scholarship on the line,” he said. “Dylan always plays great — one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen, and he played his heart out for his last game. It was great seeing him on that field risking it all for just one more game, telling us as a team how much this really means to him.” The senior reflected on his final high school game. “I felt awesome on the field; all I wanted was to finish my career on a win and it happened,” Winwood said. “I couldn’t ask for a better endnote.”

Letters to the editor

Donations collected for victims of Hurricane Harvey.

File photo by Rita J. Egan

Zeldin’s vote against Harvey aid hurts LI File photo by Phil Corso

Suffolk County Leg. Rob Trotta looking over a red-light camera report.

Risk and reward Suffolk County residents deserve full disclosure of the total number of fatal accidents occurring at intersections with red-light cameras. Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) was joined by legislators Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) and Tom Muratore (R-Selden) in calling for an investigation into the county’s most recently released Red Light Safety Program report. Trotta claimed the county’s report fails to include any accidents involving pedestrians or bicyclists in its statistics in order to paint a better picture of the program, a fact that was confirmed by the traffic engineer Nelson & Pope. Since the program’s start in July 2010, the county has installed more than 216 red-light cameras aimed at “enhancing the safety of motorists,” according to the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violation Agency on the Suffolk County website. These automated cameras resulted in more than 415,000 traffic citations being issued to drivers in 2016, generating nearly $31 million in revenue for the county. With a current budget deficit, these funds undoubtedly go a long way toward filling the shortfall. The real question is whether the ever-increasing number of red-light cameras and resulting tickets has increased the safety of our local roadways. Trotta pointed to a recent study that shows an increasing number of accidents at 46 of 100 intersections with cameras installed — and at 32 of those locations there has been a more than 100 percent increase. We wonder what these statistics would look like if adjusted to include those omitted accidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists. Under New York State law, a driver is required to contact police and file an accident report for all cases where a person is either killed or injured within 10 days. The data needed to fully evaluate the Red Light Safety Program is available and can be obtained from the state. But elected officials are not making the information public for us to read and make an informed opinion as to whether the red-light cameras are having the intended effect — increasing the safety of our local roads. New York is one of 24 states across the country that allows red-light camera use to enforce speed and traffic laws, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association, a nonprofit that represents states and agencies aiming to address behavioral highway issues to decrease the number of accident-related deaths. As Suffolk County’s red-light program comes up for renewal in 2019, and motions have been made to temporarily suspend it, taxpayers deserve to have all the facts presented. We have the right to know if it’s working before paying another fine or whether lives are being put at unnecessary risk for profit.

On Sept. 8, our congressman, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), voted against the relief package for victims of Hurricane Harvey. He was one of 90 Republicans, almost all from inland states, to vote against the emergency aid package. He was the only member of the New York delegation, of either party, to vote against it. Also 133 Republicans voted in favor of the relief package, which had already been passed by the Senate 80 to 17, and which easily passed the full House 316 to 90, in spite of Zeldin’s vote. Later in the day it was signed into law by President Trump. By voting against bi-partisan

emergency hurricane relief, Zeldin once again shows his extremism. Does he really think this vote benefits us, his Long Island constituents, who live in one of the more hurricanevulnerable districts in the nation? Ted Cruz is now hypocritically begging for federal money to help Texas recover from Harvey, after voting against aid for Hurricane Sandy victims in New York. Zeldin can now join him in the hypocrisy brigade, fighting for budget cuts only when they come from somebody else’s hide. If the tables were turned and Long Island was flooded with hurricane storm surge, with the

residents of the 1st Congressional District picking through the mud and debris of their broken homes, would Zeldin be so eager to retain his ideological purity and reject the help of the federal government? It’s so easy for him to keep intact his so-called principles, sitting in a comfortable office in Washington, D.C., and vote to withhold help needed by thousands and thousands of Americans to rebuild their shattered lives. I will not even comment on the morality of his vote.

David Friedman St. James

Let’s prove that we are a united nation Why isn’t our federal government mobilizing the military and corporate forces that are readily at our disposal to begin to rebuild Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the way we rebuilt Europe after World War II? Step 1: Use our military’s engineering and transport capabilities to open up airfields and ports so they can bring in life-sustaining supplies. Step 2: Insist that all “debt” be temporarily suspended by

the huge corporate financial institutions that have interest in seeing Puerto Rico recover as soon as possible. Step 3: Bring in temporary military hospitals and personnel from the armed services and the National Guard to assist with stabilizing health care and restoring basic infrastructure and shelter reconstruction. The cost of such an intervention would be far less in the long run than allowing things to

continue to deteriorate. It could be quick and decisive and be a model of public/private partnership that we will undoubtedly continue to need into the future. Most of all, it would be a model of American compassion and collaboration that would signal to all the world that we are still a great and united nation.

Tom Lyon Mount Sinai

An open letter to the NFL Dear Commissioner Goodell: As one of many football fans who is extremely upset by political acts disrespecting our flag and national anthem, I seriously ask you to consider putting a stop to this behavior. If players have the right to political demonstrations on the field, then fans have the right to protest against them. Do you really want NFL games to turn into

political events or possible riots? You say you want unity, but how can there be unity on the field when millionaire players attack the symbols of American unity? I realize that you want to placate the NFLPA, but without fans there will be no income, salaries or players. Please stand up for the symbols over which millions of Americans have fought and died.

Just because an act of disrespect is legal does not make it proper or moral. You fine players for disrespectful or improper celebrations — what can be more improper than these ill-thought and divisive acts by so-called professionals? Please, please. We want football not politics.

OpiniOn Remember, it’s freedom we’re protecting

he next generation is afraid. Can you blame them? They know about 9/11, as they should. When they’re not sending pictures of themselves and the food they’re eating to their group of best friends through social media, they read headlines and see pictures of people, just like them, who are living their lives one day and then becoming statistics the next. This particular generation says it would pick security over freedom. Not all of them do, of course, By Daniel Dunaief but, in a recent discussion among some teenagers, I heard repeated arguments about how freedom is irrelevant if you’re dead. That is a reflection of just how much the world has changed since I grew up. In my youth, I was aware of the Cold War. A nuclear war, although a possibil-

D. None of the above

ity in the bilateral world that pitted the United States against the Soviet Union, seemed unlikely. After all, the biggest deterrent was the likelihood of mutually assured destruction. As Matthew Broderick experienced in the movie “War Games,” no one wins or, to quote the eerie computer from the movie, “the only winning move is not to play.” In times of stress, Americans have historically pulled away from the ideals of freedom and democracy. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus, which ensures that someone can challenge an unlawful detention or imprisonment. During World War II, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt established internment camps, where he held more than 100,000 people of Japanese decent, worried that they might be colluding with a government that had just attacked us. At the start of the Cold War, Sen. Joseph McCarthy played into our worst fears, leading the House Un-American Activities Committee to question the

beliefs and loyalties of its citizens. In the meantime, he ruined the lives of thousands of people and turned Americans against each other. Many of these pursuits were designed to ease the minds of citizens about our friends and neighbors, some of whom might be working with an enemy and strike against us. So, today, what are we willing to give up? And, perhaps more importantly, to whom are we surrendering these freedoms? I recently watched a television reporter who was interviewing citizens in North Korea. He was asking them how they felt about their leader, Kim Jung-un, and the way he was rattling the saber against the United States and the rest of the world. Not surprisingly, the North Koreans, or the translator with them, expressed unreserved support for the man who trades threats seemingly on a daily basis with President Donald Trump. Those interviewed were confident they were in good hands. I doubt they felt comfortable expressing any other view. What

consequences would they suffer if they publicly questioned their leader’s judgment? Their leader doesn’t seem receptive to opposing viewpoints. On our shores, we can question our own leaders openly and frequently. We can gather in groups and protest. Trump can bristle at the way the leftleaning press covers him, just as President Barack Obama shared his displeasure over the coverage from Fox News during his presidency, but presidents can’t shut down these organizations. Early in our country’s history, our Founding Fathers, who had just emerged victorious in a costly battle with King George III of Great Britain and Ireland, didn’t want the leaders of the new nation to have unchecked power. The pioneering statesmen wanted to guarantee Americans protections from any government, domestic or international. Every freedom we give up moves us further down a slippery slope. For those of us who grew up before the fight against terrorism, freedom remains at the heart of the country we are protecting.

The horrors of the Vietnam War and a question of trust

atching the 10-part Ken Burns and Lynn Novick PBS TV series, “The Vietnam War,” brought us back to the terrible ’60s. That decade began calmly enough; my husband had volunteered to be a physician in the service in 1963, through a little known program called the Berry Plan. I was thrilled at the prospect that we would get to travel. Four years later, the United States was immersed in a brutal war in a place called Vietnam, on the other side world. By Leah S. Dunaief of the We were sent to Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas, where my husband became the chief of ophthalmology. Those injured, especially pilots, were flown in from ’Nam, refueling in the Philippines, and were in the operating room within the day.

Between you and me

My husband would put their faces back together and try to save their eyes. The war was only 24 hours away from us, and we lived always on edge. We were further aware of the dangers and horror of the war the pilots in particular faced, because we were housed in the middle of their section on the base. Some served two and three tours, leaving their wives and children behind frantic with worry. We returned home to New York City for a visit and were puzzled by the disconnect between the military and civilians. What was a desperate existence on the one hand was a seemingly unaffected population on the other. Democratic President Lyndon Johnson had promised the nation a life with guns and butter, and indeed that was what we saw. When we tried to tell friends what was going on, they seemed surprised, even annoyed by the fuss we were making. Stunned, we returned to base. Which was the real world? Then the domino effect theory, should Vietnam fall, began to be questioned. The gap between words and actions of government officials started

We became, thanks to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, caught up in a quantified body count to measure our successes. We wondered why it mattered how many of the enemy was killed if even one American died. Why were we there? The antiwar movement took hold, led by college students across America, labeled as communist-inspired and fiercely resisted by the Johnson administration. Mourning and anti-war protests were tearing the country apart. My husband and I left the military in 1969, years sooner than the fighting men left Vietnam. And some five years ago, I returned to Vietnam on a tour to see the country and try to make sense of what had happened there. I was overwhelmed. The weather was insufferably humid and hot, and I thought of the heavy backpacks the fighters had to carry as they moved through the jungle. The Vietnamese in the south, where our tour started, refer to the war as the American War in their museums and in conversation. Of course they do, I real-

Most of the population was born after the war but, for the most part, those young people never knew their fathers. They were killed. And the country? The country was beautiful, with its mountains, rice paddies and deltas, scenic and peaceful. We had known nothing of the history of Vietnam before the nation entered the war. The Vietnamese people had struggled against Chinese occupation for more than 1,000 years, followed by the French. The Vietnamese weren’t ideological communists; they just wanted their homeland to be free. And the Chinese entered the war not to spread communism but to keep us from their borders. We learned finally but it cost us more than 58,000 American lives, untold wounded and an unimaginable amount of money. Have we learned enough to apply the lessons to Afghanistan and Iraq and to North Korea? We have learned never again to regard our leaders with trust.
