Town questions utility’s proposed rate increase By erika karP

MS and RP school board elections Learn about the candidates

PAGES A5 & A7

Brookhaven officials announced last week that the town is seeking permission from the New York State Public Service Commission to intervene on PSEG Long Island’s pending application to the commission for a rate increase. At a press conference on April 16, Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and councilmembers Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), Dan Panico (R-Manorville) and Neil Foley (R-Blue Point) expressed their concerns about the increase in the delivery charge portion of customers’ bills — a nearly 4 percent bump each year for three years — set to kick in next year. The officials said they believe PSEG Long Island hasn’t adequately justified the increase, which would have a “devastating impact,” on Long Island residents. “We want to make sure that our voices are heard — the ratepayers in Brookhaven Town are

heard,” Romaine said. By legally intervening, according to attorney Rob Calica, of Garden City-based law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney LLP, town officials would have access to filings and documents that are otherwise not public. “If the town doesn’t intervene, it’s a commenter,” said

Calica, who the town retained to handle the matter. “The comment period is closed. If the town doesn’t intervene, the records that are unavailable for public review remain unavailable. If the town intervenes, it elevates its status from commenter to a party.” The utility stated in its pro-

posal that it would invest in maintaining and modernizing the electric system; enhancing technology for managing customer accounts; improving infrastructure to better prepare for and respond to storms; and improving system reliability. The town joins Suffolk County Comptroller John M. Kennedy Jr., who asked to act as an intervener in an April 10 letter to the New York State Department of Public Service, the department which contains the commission. According to PSEG Long Island’s application, the threeyear increase will amount to an approximate $221 million increase in revenues. In his letter, Kennedy called PSEG LONG ISLAND continued on page A15

Four vie for two Mount Sinai school board seats V.P. Donna Compagnone not seeking re-election After 12 years, Mount Sinai school board Vice President Donna Compagnone decided her fourth term on the board would be her last. In a phone interview on Monday, Compagnone reflected on her tenure fondly, describing the experience as “heartwarming and fun” and an “honor.” “Most of all I got to see the kids, so many of them go from kindergarten to graduation.” As both of her children have graduated from the district, Compagnone said it was just time. But her seat won’t stay empty, as four candidates, including incumbent Lynn Capobianco, submitted petitions to run for two open seats on the board. Also running are newcomers

Michael Riggio, John DeBlasio and Joanne Rentz. Lynn Capobianco Running for her second term, Capobianco, 65, said three years serving on the board doesn’t feel like a very long time. “Lots of exciting things have started and I wanted to continue the momentum that has begun,” she said in a recent phone interview. One of the exciting items is full-day kindergarten. Capobianco, who is a retired school librarian, said that as an early childhood educator she was happy to be part of the full-day kindergarten forums and felt it was important to discuss the program, which is included in the district’s proposed 2015-16 school year budget. Having worked in the Mount

Sinai school district, Capobianco said she is very familiar with the schools and staff, which is an advantage. Looking toward the future, Capobianco said she wants to continue to watch Mount Sinai grow and evolve, while remaining fiscally sound. “I would like to see our high school bring back some of the clubs,” she said. She has her sights set on adding an in-house robotics club. Her dream would be to have a science research program at the high school. Capobianco has lived in the district for 25 years with her husband, Kerry, and their three boys — two attending Mount Sinai schools and one who graduated.

MP man arrested for bank robbery By Erika karp

Suffolk County police caught up to the Miller Place man who allegedly robbed a Rocky Point bank on April 14, but the man didn’t go down without a fight. Max Schneider, 26, was arrested on April 16 in Huntington at approximately 5:45 p.m., after the Suffolk County Police Department’s Pattern Crime Unit and Larceny Task Force detectives spotted him pulling into the parking lot of the Walt Whitman Mall, according to police. Schneider allegedly attempted to escape detectives but in the process collided his 2012 Honda Civic with two police vehicles. Officials allege he is the man who entered the Capital One bank on Route 25A in Rocky Point shortly after 9 a.m. on April 14 and gave a teller a note demanding money. Police said he then fled on foot with an unknown amount of money. Police arrested and charged Schneider with third-degree robbery, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and violation of a parole warrant.

Tegins then lost control of the SUV, went across several lawns and crashed into the living room of a house on Parkside. Police said no one in the home was injured, though the residence suffered extensive damage. The driver was treated for minor injuries at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, police said. He had been the only one in the vehicle at the time of the crash. Tegins, a Port Jefferson Station resident, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, speeding,

Three race for two seats on RP school board By Erika karp

In addition to voting on the 2015-16 budget this May, Rocky Point school district residents will cast their votes to fill two seats in the annual school board election. Incumbent school board Vice President Scott Reh is running for his third term, while residents Donna McCauley and Ed Casswell are throwing their hats in the ring for a second time. John Lessler, who has been a trustee since 2009, isn’t seeking re-election. He did not return calls for comment.

Scott Reh

After five years on the board, Scott Reh, 48, is proud of the work the board has done but wants to stick around and build upon that work. In a phone interview, Reh,

who became vice president last year, said he is seeking re-election to continue “moving in the right direction.” In addition, he wants to be involved as the board contemplates putting a capital improvements bond up for a vote in the future. While the bond is a main focus, Reh said he wants to continue making sure that the school district officials and the board are working together. It is especially important to Reh that teachers and staff enjoy going to work every day. Most important, though: The kids. His main objective is “trying to afford children everything they need to learn.” As Mount Sinai school district’s athletics director, Reh spoke of having a unique perspective, as he has interacted with students, teachers, administrators and parents. In addi-

tion, the role gives him significant budgeting experience. With all of the changes happening in the education world, Reh said his job is to listen to the community and make decisions with that feedback in mind. Reh and his wife, Lisa, have three children. His sons graduated from Rocky Point High School and his daughter is in 10th grade.

Donna McCauley

A frequent attendee of the Rocky Point school board meetings, Donna McCauley is making another go at becoming a

trustee after running a year ago. At this time last year, McCauley, 46, said she wanted to see more board member participation when making decisions and voting on resolutions. McCauley said she’s been pleased to see that happening. However, more can always be done, and McCauley said she would give everyday, taxpaying residents a voice. While many of the board members have education backgrounds, McCauley does not and she said that is a good thing. “I think I would offer a different perspective,” she said. “I

think it makes for a more wellrounded board,” she said. Last year, McCauley expressed concerns about the district’s academic plan, known as Next S.T.E.P., which is geared toward improving student performance. Since then, McCauley has taken an active role on the Next S.T.E.P. subcommittee to learn more about the plan and to educate the community. “I think it is a work in progress,” McCauley said of the plan. If elected, McCauley said she would like to explore adding more career and technology ROCKY POINT continued on page A15

Protestors line north Country road in Mount Sinai on Tuesday afternoon.

Parents, educators vow to remember come next election Protesters rally against NYS education changes By BarBara Donlon

Educators, parents and students gathered outside state Sen. Ken LaValle’s Mount Sinai office Tuesday with one clear message: They won’t forget he voted “yes” on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s budget when it’s their turn to vote in November 2016. Nearly 100 people rallied in front of the North Country Road office of LaValle (RPort Jefferson), holding signs letting the senator and the community know they were upset he voted in favor of a portion of the 2015-16 state budget that amended the teacher evaluation system, lengthened the time before teachers can gain tenure

and created new designations for failing schools. Beth Dimino, president of the Port Jefferson Station Teachers Association and a John F. Kennedy Middle School teacher, said her association and other groups coordinated the protest to show the senator they don’t take his vote lightly. “The purpose of this rally is to remind Mr. LaValle that his vote in favor of Mr. Cuomo’s budget and anti-public education agenda will be remembered by the parents and taxpayers in the November elections,” Dimino said. LaValle, who was in Albany at the time of the protest, was just re-elected to his

20th term in the Senate and will be up for election again next year. He said in a statement Wednesday, “We improved on what the governor put in his budget proposal and I fully expect we will continue to fix the education piece, with the final result addressing parents and educators concerns.” April Quiggle, a Port Jefferson parent, said she came out to show how disappointed she is in the senator she always supported. “I feel betrayed by him,” Quiggle said. Not one person at the rally was without a sign. Young children also held signs. Miller Place resident Erik Zalewski, who teaches in the Middle Country school district, said LaValle and other politicians who voted in favor of the governor’s reform sold out educators and kids.

“It seems money is more important than the children,” Zalewski said. Lucille McKee, president of the Shoreham-Wading River Teachers Association, joined in to let everyone know she is tired of non-educators making decisions about education. Halfway through the rally supporters broke out in a cheer: “Ken LaValle you let us down, Ken LaValle you let the students down, Ken LaValle we will not forget!” Many parents at the picket said they tried numerous times to reach out to the senator by phone and email and never heard back. Hundreds of cars drove by as everyone protested on the corner of the road. Drivers honked, gave thumbs-up signs and cheered, letting the protesters know they supported them.

Mount sinai Continued from page A5

Mike Riggio After retiring from the New York City Police Department last year, Riggio, who was second in command of the department’s counterterrorism unit, is making his first run for the school board. The 42-year-old father of a Mount Sinai fourth-grader said he is running for a number of reasons, but his focus is on students’ safety. “There are some serious security concerns and this is what I used to do for a living,” Riggio said in a phone interview. In addition, Riggio said he would use his background and experience managing $150 million worth of programs that kept New York City safe to make sure the district remains fiscally sound. “We want more for our school,” Riggio said. “So how do you work on paying for that?” One solution would be to reach beyond the immediate community and look for other funding opportunities, such as grants, and continue to advocate for his district at the state level. As a department head, Riggio said he worked with local congressmen to help get things done. “We need to work with them,” he said. Riggio and his wife, Eileen, have lived in Mount Sinai since 2006. He currently serves as coach for his daughters Infant Jesus basketball team and the Mount Sinai lacrosse team.

John DeBlasio As a father to triplets in Mount Sinai schools, DeBlasio said he understands the demands the district is facing when it comes to educational changes and staying fiscally healthy. “I want to be part of the process to help shape the budget,” DeBlasio, 54, said in a phone interview. Finances are the Ronkonkoma-based attorney’s main focus in his run for school board. He said that the issue isn’t “black and white,” as districts struggle to budget without state aid numbers and try to project for the future. However, he said that he believes the district has to try to work within budgetary constraints. “It’s just trying to become more efficient with the money you do have while

maintaining school programs,” he said. As an attorney, DeBlasio said his experiences would help him as a trustee, especially during budget season and when the district is negotiating contracts. DeBlasio, husband to Kim, has lived in the district for 14 years. He serves as a coach for Mount Sinai lacrosse. He also has two stepsons. At the end of the day, DeBlasio has just one request for his fellow residents. “I would hope people would come out and vote.” Joanne Rentz Understanding the huge commitment of what it takes to be a school board trustee, Rentz is ready and excited to take on the job. “We are a small community and a large family-based community,” Rentz, 51, said. “A lot of how we interact and how we relate to one another is through our kids and through the school.” Rentz said she feels like she would add a good perspective to the board, as she has experience in sales management as a small business owner and in education. Currently, Rentz, who has a fourth-grade son in the district, works as a brand director for a media publishing company. In the past, she owned a FasTracKids center, which provided enrichment programs to young learners. The programs aim to challenge students while also strengthening their problem-solving skills and making them lifelong learners, she said. The goal may sound similar to that of the Common Core Learning Standards, and Rentz said she supports that idea. However, she questioned how developmentally appropriate the standards are and how they were implemented. “I think it is a great idea,” she said. “I think that the implementation of the program in its entirety needs to be reexamined.” If elected, Rentz said she wants to work to see a curriculum that supports the district’s competitive edge and enables students to be successful after graduation, whether they go off to college or start a career right away. Rentz has lived in the district for six years with her husband, Larry, and their fourth-grade son. She also has four grown stepchildren.

Yet our teachers were predominately evaluated effective or highly effective last year in a New York State Education Department-approved evaluation process. We need to demand participation in state policy through open legislative debate. We need to opt out of the Common Core-linked standardized tests so our teachers can get back to the organic pursuit of education.

it questionable to give “that excessive amount of money” to a “quasi-governmental entity that is supposed to be a leader in management performance, yet decides to increase the average residential customer’s bills when its own employees live and work on Long Island.” This is the first time in more than 20 years that Long Island’s utility provider has had to submit a rate plan to the Department of Public Service, as required by the LIPA Reform Act of 2013, which also put the Long Island Power Authority under the management of private company PSEG Long Island. The department assigned administrative law judges to hear the case, on which Long Island residents commented at public hearings held throughout March. Brookhaven officials and Kennedy said they also took issue with the fact that the utility’s proposed increase does not have to follow any cap that other public institutions, like governments and school districts, have to abide by, referring to the state’s tax levy increase cap. Romaine said PSEG Long Island should have to comply with and be held to higher standards. “They are a public authority no different than the Town of Brookhaven,” he said. In an email, Jeff Weir, PSEG Long Island’s director of communications, said the organization is proud to have the most transparent rate proceeding that local customers have ever seen. “We believe the modest increase that we are seeking in our filing will allow us to continue to create a more resilient, modern and customerresponsive electric utility,” Weir stated. “We welcome the opportunity to continue to have constructive, open dialogue regarding our request.”

Ed Casswell

After unsuccessfully running for a trustee seat in 2012, Ed Casswell said his desire to serve the Rocky Point community has not diminished and he is ready to take on the role. As principal of Center Moriches High School, Casswell, 50, said he is empathetic and in tune with the needs of the district’s students. “I live it,” Casswell said in a phone interview. “I live all the changes and trials and tribulations that education brings.” If elected, Casswell wants to make sure everyone in the district shares a common vision. He said

the school board needs a strong voice and advocate in the state legislature, something he would pursue. School board members must “understand the intricate details of any mandates, but also they need to realize it is quite possible that local communities will lose local control,” he said. Casswell and his wife, Carrie Ann, have lived in the district for 23 years. The couple has two children — a fourth-grader and an 11thgrader — in the district. He is a North Shore Little League board member and serves as the Suffolk County High School Principals Association’s president.

Rotary member Tom Talbot said his organization’s intent is to provide help to people and that they enjoy giving to the Invited INN. “The volunteers are very nice people who are so grateful for our help,” Talbot said. “They run a very important facility in Rocky Point.” Talbot, who has volunteered at the soup kitchen as a pot washer for 10 years, said that the people who eat there seem to enjoy the meals. “They are usually very satisfied with the food and it gives them the chance to be social too,” he said. “Some of them come early to make sure they get the same seat they have been sitting in for years.” Trinity’s pastor Jeffrey Kolbo said that although the Invited INN is essentially a free hot meal program, he has found that it provides much more

With the score 6-3, Huntington called a timeout to regroup. “We need the draw,” Huntington head coach Kathy Wright told her players. “We need to get on those ground balls.” Huntington moved senior midfielder Samantha Lynch to the faceoff in place of

senior defender Heather Forster, and the switch proved to be successful. The Blue Devils won the draw and with 6:55 remaining in the first half, sophomore midfielder Ryann Gaffney circled around the cage and passed to Lynch, who stood undefended at the front of the cage and knocked it into the right corner. A minute later, Lynch scored again off an assist from Reilly to pull within one, 6-5. Thirty seconds later, Pirreca scored her hat trick goal. After a scrum at midfield for the ground ball off the draw, the senior attack was fouled, and jetted downfield for the score and a 7-5 lead heading into halftime. “To me it’s not so much about being undefeated, it’s about the girls getting better every game,” Mount Sinai head coach Al Bertolone said. “Our mantra is one game at a time, to win the day, and today we did a great job. I thought it was a back and forth game early and I think we’ve really been a great secondhalf team, locking them down.” Mount Sinai junior midfielder Rebecca Lynch scored the first two goals of the half within a minute of each other to put her team up 9-5. Huntington’s Gaffney scored next, unassisted, after gaining possession at midfield. The teams continued to trade possession of the 50/50 balls, and Tyrrell added another assist when she passed the ball from behind the net to freshman attack Camryn Harloff in front of the net for a 10-6 advantage. “I feel pretty confident when I pass for shots,” Tyrrell said. “Even though I didn’t start off so well, I moved forward and got better as the game progressed.” The Mustangs scored the next three goals, with Tyrrell having a part in all three, and Huntington called another timeout. During the break, Bertolone addressed his

girls: “We need five seconds of focus to win the draw and get to goal, and don’t take any lapses down there on defense.” The Blue Devils scored after the timeout, and Tyrrell scored her second goal of the game before Huntington junior attack Emma DeGennaro sent a shot off a foul into the right corner of the net for the next score. Amorison tacked on the final point of the game at 6:38. After that, the teams exchanged the ball as the defense stood strong on both ends to bring the final score to 14-9. “I just think our older kids are bringing these younger kids along,” Bertolone said. “We’re coming together. We have a lot of babies out here that are really growing up fast, and this is a great group with great senior leadership.” One of the youngest on the team, Tyrrell finished the game with two goals and five assists; Lynch and Pirreca each tacked on a hat trick; and Harloff and senior midfielder Mary Ellen Carron added two goals apiece. “Meaghan Tyrrell is a very good player,” Bertolone said. “I’ve got two [younger players] — her and Camryn Harloff down low, and I’ve got nothing but good things to say about them. They’re hardworking kids, so I’m happy for their success.” Moving forward, he wants his team to improve in all facets of the game and to grow stronger as the season progresses. He said he believes his girls are doing all the little things necessary to be successful. Tyrrell echoed her coach’s sentiments. “We just have to keep getting better and keep improving,” she said. “We have a great team, we’re going to keep working together and do our best to keep moving forward and hopefully continue to win. There’s no stopping for us.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

We can do better

You know you’re from Long Island when … 1. You drive your car everywhere, including just up the road to the drug store or 7-Eleven. There is a car in your driveway or garage for every person in your house. 2. You water your lawn and plants even when it has recently rained because it’s on a timer and you just left it. 3. You pass at least one dead animal lying on the side of the road every day. 4. You have access to delicious foods imported from all over the country and the world. 5. You live in a terribly wasteful society. Earth Day gives us time to reflect on what we do every day that affects the environment, both here on Long Island and the nation as a whole.

We burn up gas for every small trip we make, when we could walk or bike if we weren’t so rushed or lazy. We waste water by taking long showers or leaving the faucet on as we brush our teeth. We flush pills down the toilet or use a paper cup for coffee every morning or unnecessarily go through a ton of plastic shopping bags. Almost all of us are guilty of at least one of these things, which all put strain on Mother Earth. But this is the only home we have — for now — so we should get our heads in the game. Please join us in thinking about the impact of our everyday actions on the environment and make a commitment to cut out or reduce just one of those negative actions year-round — not just on a day like Earth Day. A small change blazes the trail for larger ones, so it’s a good place to start.

Protecting our true veterans

To ThE EdiTor: Last year, members of the American Legion Post 694 approached me with the idea of enacting a Suffolk County law to protect the honor of our decorated veterans; mirroring the federal Stolen Valor Act. They made a compelling case for why a local law was needed after witnessing individuals impersonating decorated veterans as a means to solicit funds. I was surprised to learn that in Suffolk County such deceitful acts, tarnishing the accomplishments of brave men and women, were being committed for monetary gain. In response, I have sponsored a local law that will make it a misdemeanor in Suffolk County for any person to fraudulently market themselves as a decorated veteran while soliciting funds. This local law will not only signal to potential offenders that such disgrace-

ful actions will not be tolerated, but will expedite justice on the local level. I congratulate and thank the local veterans in my district for taking action on this issue. I am grateful that my colleagues have joined me in passing this bill to uphold the integrity of our decorated veterans and the country they call home. Legislator William “Doc” Spencer Centerport

Twin experiments in space

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

n the course of a month, two events have occurred that, perhaps some time in the next several decades, may help people make that incredibly long journey to Mars. First, Scott Kelly went up in space. OK, so, that’s not such a shocker. Kelly is an astronaut and that’s what astronauts do. What makes Kelly’s trip different, how-

ever, is that he plans to spend an entire year at the International Space Station, setting an American record for the longest time away from Earth. Kelly’s identical twin Mark, a retired astronaut and husband of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, will of course spend that same year on Earth. Having identical twins in two places for the same period of time presents an incredible opportunity. Mark is in reality the “control” in the experiment, giving NASA, doctors and anyone else interested in the effects of prolonged periods of time in space an opportunity to see how the two brothers react differently to different environments. Identical twins present that rare opportunity to rule out the nature part of the nature-nurture dynamic. Some day, the information NASA records from the Kelly twins will help us understand the kinds of preparations necessary to safeguard any would-be space

traveler from the harmful effects of higher radiation and no gravity for a journey to Mars that by current technology would take some 250 days. After all, our genes have evolved over thousands of years to life on Earth. Just because we’ve figured out to send ourselves deep into space doesn’t mean we can suddenly fine-tune the gift of our biological systems the way we might raise a heat shield on a space module. A month after Scott Kelly returned to the ISS, where he’d spent considerable time on previous missions, a team of scientists, led by Javier Martin-Torres, a Spanish researcher who is a professor in Sweden and used to work in the United States at NASA, published a study based on a year’s worth of meteorological data from the Red Planet. As it turns out, Martin-Torres and his team have determined it is highly likely Mars has liquid water — today. It’s not enough water to open a super-exclusive

pool club or to plant a couple of dozen grape trees to cultivate a deep-space vineyard for the elite and refined palates of the world’s wealthiest wine lovers. The scientists recorded readings through the Mars rover Curiosity of water that likely evaporates during the Martian day and forms again during the cold night as perchlorate salts melt any frozen water vapor. This study, Martin-Torres suggested, may have implications for planetary protection policies. The Committee on Space Research may look carefully at places where spacecraft couldn’t land on Mars out of concern that any vehicle might contaminate the planet by introducing new organisms. The presence of water speaks to us because it makes up more than 60 percent of our own bodies. Water also is a key element to life on our blue planet, raising the question about whether life, even in the form of small microbes, could use it to survive.

Our genes have evolved over thousands of years to life on Earth. This Martian water, however, isn’t exactly a refreshing stream. It’s probably up to three-and-ahalf times as salty as the water in the Dead Sea, Martin-Torres said. The saltiness, radiation and numerous other factors make that water inhospitable to life, even on a microbial scale. “The conditions are terrible,” admitted Martin-Torres. Still, “it’s better to have water than not to have it.” Besides, while it’s likely that any life on Mars would struggle to survive in that water, “nature always surprises us.” Daniel Dunaief’s recent book, “The Other Parent,” may be purchased online from www.tbrnewsmedia.com/ebooks.

Do we negotiate with Iran or not?

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

o negotiate or not to negotiate, that is the question. At least that is how our mealtime conversations in the last week started on the subject of a possible treaty with Iran. It is a polarizing issue, and almost everyone I’ve shared a meal with has had a strong opinion on the matter. “Don’t trust them. They cannot be held to any agreement they sign. Are we listening to what Supreme Leader Khamenei is saying or do we think it’s all rhetoric to rally his right wing?”

“We should definitely negotiate with them and at least try to postpone the production of a bomb in that volatile part of the world. We’ll be able to know if they are reneging because we have satellites and Israel has spies all over the country,” is another perspective. “What harm can negotiations do?” “What harm? What is it that brought the Iranians to the negotiation table to begin with? The economic sanctions are having a real effect on their country. They just want us to lift them and to achieve that, they will agree to anything for now,” comes the retort. And so the back-and-forth goes. This time in our 21st century has been compared, rightly or wrongly, to Munich and the Neville Chamberlain agreement with Hitler over the fate of Czechoslovakia in 1938. Chamberlain was prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1937-40, as Hitler was ramping up his aggression, and he desperately wanted to keep peace and stability within Europe. To that end, he is widely remembered for his attempt at appeasement of Hitler with the Munich Agreement that both men signed.

Chamberlain had worked hard to get that treaty, traveling to Germany three times to meet with the dictator before bringing back that paper, along with the words, “peace for our time.” Although Czechoslovakia was effectively sacrificed in the deal, most of the British population, including King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, were ecstatically happy that Chamberlain had brought at least the possibility of peace to them. One who objected strenuously was, we know, Winston Churchill, who declared that England had been offered a choice between war and shame at Munich. She had chosen shame, he continued, and will get war. Indeed, Churchill felt that by Chamberlain’s drift and surrender to Hitler’s territorial demands, the prime minister had almost fatally delayed the need for Britain to arm and to pull together European allies. Chamberlain had also seemed to Hitler as being weak. “Our enemies are small worms,” Hitler later scoffed. “I saw them at Munich.” Peace is an almost universal yearning; only aggressors want

war. Can we condemn Chamberlain for striving to guarantee peace — or President Obama for that matter? While the world stage is not exactly the same now as in 1938, we know that Iran has fueled proxy wars in an aggressive attempt to increase its power in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia had launched bombing missions to push back Iran, and the United States has moved ships off the Yemen coast in an attempt to thwart arms shipments getting into terrorists’ hands. Overhanging the horror of slaughter and brutality is the real prospect that Iran is on the threshold of developing a game-changing atom bomb, much as Germany was during World War II. When von Ribbentrop, Hitler’s foreign minister, objected to the Munich Agreement that Hitler had signed, pledging no further hostilities once he annexed Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland, Hitler responded with, “Oh don’t take it so seriously. That piece of paper is of no further significance whatever.” Now as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry lays out the terms of a possible agreement

from the negotiations, Khamenei has stopped short of endorsing them. When Chamberlain was admonished by Churchill to arm Britain in the face of coming war, the prime minister refused to do so wholeheartedly because he feared that Hitler would think he was walking away from the Munich accord. Yes, let’s negotiate. And let’s remember the key to any successful pullback is President Ronald Reagan’s famous line: “Trust, but verify.” Let’s also remember that we broke the back of the Soviet Union by winning an economic war, despite the fact that both sides had the bomb. The Iranians are at the negotiating table because the economic sanctions are hurting — or like Hitler, they are merely stalling for time. Finally, we have learned what Chamberlain did not: That a well-armed and advanced nation is the best deterrent to war.
