anticipated recreational project,” Anker said. The bill authorized the county to borrow about $9 million to fund construction of the path, the vast majority of which will be reimbursable through federal grants, according to a press release from Anker’s office. “As an individual with a genuine passion for nature, I look forward to seeing the completion of this project and hope that it encourages more people to explore all of the exciting recreational activities Suffolk County has to offer,” Bellone said. The trail is in its final design phase and the county plans to release a bid for construction in the fall of 2018, with a contract expected to be awarded by the end of the year, according to a press release from Bellone’s office. Weather dependent, the project could see a shovel in the ground in winter 2018 or spring 2019.

After years of work getting the project off the ground, lawmakers had reason to gather and celebrate July 27. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D), Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) were among those gathered in Shoreham Friday to sign a bill approving the bonding of funds to advance the Rails to Trails project, a longplanned 10-mile recreational biking and hiking path that will run parallel to Route 25A from Mount Sinai to Wading River. “It’s been a long journey after waiting 50 years since the Rails to Trails Recreational Path’s original inception, but I’m happy to say we are currently on track to move forward with construction of Long Island’s most

VILLAGE

Rocky Point community yearns for vibrant downtown As drivers hurtle down Route 25A from either direction into the hamlet of Rocky Point they are met by a crossroads. If they keep straight, they will link up with North Country Road and head into the Rocky Point business district lined with shops, restaurants and services. If drivers take a right and continue along Route 25A, they circle around North Country Road, bypassing all those businesses. It’s been the story since the bypass was constructed in the late 1990s, but it’s just one of the challenges facing business owners in Rocky Point’s commercial district as they wait to see much discussed revitalization. “The bypass really put downtown on life support,” Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said. “You can’t just put a bubble around Rocky Point — you can’t just freeze it in time — but I say you have to have a healthy respect for the history of it and plan your development sensitively.” Revitalization has been planned for years and small steps taken, but much is left to be desired by those yearning for a vibrant downtown along North Country Road and Broadway, hoping to return back to the prosperity of the mid-20th century, when Rocky Point’s population experienced a boom and new businesses flourished. While new restaurants like the Broadway Market have created a sensation, the memory of stores that have closed down also looms, such as when in April 2017 McCarrick’s Dairy, an utter staple in the community that had been open for 71 years, closed its doors. While Rocky Point is the only hamlet between Riverhead and Port Jefferson that has a semblance of a real downtown, its small size and limited space have led to unique revitalization issues. As also arises whenever the term revitalization gets thrown around, retaining the historical aspect of the downtown while growing it with a mind toward the future is a delicate balance. In 2007 the Town of Brookhaven paid Vision Long Island, a nonprofit that advocates for transportation-oriented development, for a charrette about Rocky Point revitalization that was released in 2008. The plan called for a combination of retail, business and residential all in one place, much like what has been attempted in Patchogue, Farmingdale and dozens of other pockets of Long Island. That

Below, Councilwoman Jane Bonner and developer Mark Baisch stand near a Rocky Point site slated for a residential community for seniors. plan was rejected by the community, which felt it would destroy the small town feel of the area. “[The Vision plan] was much too aggressive in pro-business and development,” president of the Rocky Point Civic Association Charles Bevington said. “I’m in favor of slowgrowth opportunities for small businesses and restaurants. You know you can’t come in and dictate development. We have too many problems with water. We have too many problems with nitrogen in our systems.” Eric Alexander, the director of Vision Long Island, said his organization’s plans hinged upon sewers, which the community rejected. “They wanted goods, services and restaurants, something walkable and quaint but that was as far as they wanted it,” Alexander said. “That’s fine, but the numbers didn’t work without the sewers. Revitalization has gone in a few different directions since we left them.” Some residents said sewers would only be a hindrance to the community’s growth. “You can’t get the density on Broadway to support the cost of sewers,” said Linda Albo, the owner of Albo Real Estate on North Country Road. “Downtown is just not the right place for sewers.” In 2012 and 2013 Bonner and Brookhaven secured a $1.2 million grant for road and traffic light improvements along North Country

Road. It included setting up new light fixtures and fixing the curb cut along the main road’s intersection with Broadway. Yet real revitalization that would bring business flooding downtown is still a dream, even as some think its advent is just on the horizon. Mark Baisch, the owner of development company Landmark Properties Ltd., is the latest to attempt to reinvigorate downtown Rocky Point. Its On the Common project promises 40 one-bedroom apartments for seniors inside 10 buildings located along Prince Road and King Road, just north of North Country Road. Also included are plans for a large green space along Prince Road set up for community activities such as the Sunday Rocky Point Farmers Market and a new VFW Memorial Museum right in front of the Brookhaven municipal parking lot. A quarter of the apartments will be reserved for veterans, Baisch said. The apartments hold a distinction from other residential projects meant to stimulate downtowns. While projects in Patchogue and Ronkonkoma have tried to get young people living in space that is part residential and retail, Baisch said he hopes to do the same with the 55-and-older community. “There is a huge need for it,” Baisch said. “There’s so many 90- to 100-year-old people living up in the hills of Rocky Point, and nobody even knows they exist. They sit in their KYLE BARR

house with the rooms closed up not knowing if they’re going to have a way to get out of the next snowstorm. It’s not a great way to live out your twilight years.” Some residents are looking forward to the On the Common project with the possibility of leaving home ownership behind. “I think it is a great idea,” Rocky Point resident Claire Manno said. “I am a senior citizen and have lived in Rocky Point for 20 years. I will have to sell my house eventually because we can’t afford it for much longer. I’d like to stay in the area if possible.” Other community members questioned why there will only be one-bedroom apartments available. “I became disabled two years ago,” Rocky Point resident Christine Cohn Balint said. “I have a three-story home and I cannot manage stairs. So we will be selling. But this ‘community’ will not be built for me — they won’t be ready. One bedroom only? They should offer two bedrooms also, if so I’d consider it.” Baisch said he hopes to start construction around October. There is hope in the community that good things are coming. The Broadway Market, which opened in March, has made a big splash. Some also looking point to plans in 2019 to start construction on the Rails to Trails project, which will create a biking and hiking path along the old rights-of-way and train rails that run parallel to the North Shore. That path will run north of North Country Road and give people walking and bike access directly into the heart of the commercial district. “The Rails to Trails is going to have the biggest positive impact,” Bevington said. “It’s going to be along the line of walking and bicycling, and we have two bicycle shops in town that can be aided by the project. That’s really something.” Alexander said he believes while there wasn’t community support for his organization’s plans, these upcoming projects could result in something good for the area. “The community has to trust the change, any change that occurs,” Alexander said. “There are a lot of good people over there working in good faith — people who care deeply about the community — that’s what’s most important.”

Times, tide and change

Achieve Your Life Goals One Great Rate at a Time

Shore Road, like everything else, has changed over time. Back when the area was called Nonowantuck by Native Americans, the wooded hills surrounding what we now call Mount Sinai Harbor sloped down to the harbor and leveled off to a salt marsh and mud flats. The harbor’s environment was protected by a sand spit with a small stream draining into the Sound on the east side. Freshwater springs and seeps sustained pockets of freshwater marsh. Animal and Native American trails probably led down to and around the harbor. The springs and seeps were a source of fresh water and the marshes and flats a source of food. In 1664, this preColonial environment started to change when Nonowantuck was sold to European settlers for a collection of knives, hatches and clothes. The name was changed to Old Mans and the newly purchased land was divided with the marsh lands held in common. At first the European settlers tried to enlarge and maintain a larger mouth on the east BY FRED DREWES side but the mouth kept filling in. Then a new entry was dredged on the west side in the late 1800s. Tides and time continually deposit sediment, narrowing the mouth. To this day dredging must be done to maintain the opening for use by fishing and recreational boats. The last 354 years have seen a progression of changes of the harbor and uplands. The broad brush of change has been the division of the upland time and again changing it from forest to farmland to suburban development. The ecological succession of the harbor has been interrupted by the dredging of the marina area for sand and gravel and to satisfy the demand for boating and beach recreation. Saltwater marsh has been lost; shell fishing has changed and is limited; Phragmites have invaded the edges; houses, hotels and camps have been built, restored and demolished; and the animal and Native American trails paved and repaved. Seeps still exude cold fresh water but the springs have been sealed. Back in the early 1900s Shore Road along the harbor’s edge was a dirt road but then paved with concrete and then layered with asphalt. Last year it was curbed and repaved but nature has its way. The nor’easter storms have begun to cut away the new edges. High tides and wind drive the water over old concrete paving and foundations dumped to protect Shore Road. Marsh debris has been washed to the base of Shore Road’s bluff. The forces of nature will continue and there will no doubt to be changes around Mount Sinai Harbor. We have chosen to change the natural environment to a “modern developed” environment but the questions remain. “How will this development be sustained?” “What changes will Shore Road and Mount Sinai Harbor experience in the next 50 to 100 years?” Fred Drewes is a former Suffolk County Community College professor in the science department who volunteers maintaining the grounds of parks in Mount Sinai.

Into the woods: How to break into biking BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With the ever-expanded development along the North Shore of Long Island, it’s easy to underestimate just how many wooded trails and biking paths there are available for those who want to enjoy leisurely outdoor activities off congested roadways. “We have so many trails on Long Island — more than 175 miles of them,” said Michael Vitti, the president of the Concerned Long Island Mountain Bicyclists, an organization dedicated to the growth of the activity it’s named for. With County Executive Steve Bellone (D) finally signing the long-awaited bill allocating funds for the Port Jefferson Station to Wading River Rails to Trails project, which will create a 10 mile walking and biking trails along the rights-of-way parallel to the North Shore and north of Route 25A, this might be an opportune time for people to finally put foot to pedal. Neal Passoff, president of Campus Bicycle in Stony Brook said a prospective biker looking to pick up the hobby should start off riding on paved paths such as the Setauket to Port Jefferson Station Greenway Trail, rather than bumpy terrain. “There’s still some challenging hills on [the Greenway Trail] but it’s great for people or families starting out that don’t want to worry about traffic,” Passoff said. Of course, tackling a trail is a tall task without the right kind of bike. While some bikes are able to handle both roads and offroad, bike shop owners said it’s best to buy a bike specific to the style of riding a rider intends on doing. The difference, from the speeds to the shocks to the general design, will dictate how well the bike will perform on the different surfaces. “People should think of what they plan on doing, not necessarily what they’re doing today, but what they plan on using the bike for,” Passoff said. Bike shop owners stressed the need for a bike that feels good and fits to a rider’s body rather than forcing a fit. “Get a bike that fits, forget about specific bargains, have one that’s fitted to you,” said Richard Partenfelder, owner of The Cycle

Company in Smithtown. After people get experienced and look to take their bikes off-road they should certainly look for beginner loops in local parks. “Every park has different terrain, and the more difficult trails are located north of the Long Island Expressway, and any trails that are south of the expressway are easier.” Vitti said. “The expressway runs along the glacial moraine, and that makes the north side more hilly.” Gary Wladyka, the owner of Rocky Point Cycle, said the hardest parts of most trails are how sharp the turns are and the steepness of the trail’s incline. “For the most part the more difficult trails have more hills that are, to an inexperienced cyclist, something they end up walking up instead of riding up it,” Wladyka said. He suggested starting on the easy parts of the Rocky Point Mountain Bike and Sunken Meadow trails because they have low inclines without any exceptionally sharp turns. “Try to keep to the beginner loops because they are relatively flat,” Wladyka said. “They don’t switchback turns, instead they have wider, ‘flowier’ turns.” In terms of expert trails, both Wladyka and Passoff agreed that some of the hardest to tackle are the East Setauket Trail in Laurel Ridge Nature Preserve and the Overton Trail in the Overton Preserve located in Coram. Those trails have steep hills and sharp switchback turns that can really do a number on a novice biker if they’re not paying attention, they said. If going into the woods, Vitti suggested people should wear high socks and spray their shoes with permethrin, a tick repellent for clothing. Some trails are mountain bike only, and some are multiuse trails. Vitti said that while riding on these multiuse paths riders should learn proper etiquette for riding around hikers or other bikers, such as announcing your approach and pulling over to the side so others can pass if they are going in the opposite direction.

OBITUARY

Family, colleagues remember former local pediatrician BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Years after he retired from his Suffolk County practice, a pediatrician and former Setauket resident is being remembered fondly by those who knew him. Dr. Leo Dvorken, the founder of what is now known as Kids Care Pediatric Medicine P.C. in Selden, died July 21 at the age of 86. At a funeral service July 24, Rabbi Stephen Karol and Rabbi Paul Sidlofsky addressed the mourners who filled Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook and read eulogies from Dvorken’s family members filled with anecdotes and praise. His former practice partners were also on hand to pay tribute to a man they considered a valuable colleague and close friend. In a eulogy written by his daughter Rachel, she described being in the presence of her father as a gift, calling him gentle, kind and possessing a joie de vivre, a French phrase meaning a joy for life. “Whether it was pancakes at the diner, lobster fest at Bay Road East [Strong’s Neck], midnight boat rides, rainy day hikes, ski trips, sing-alongs in the car, watching our kids’ games or concerts or just hanging out — it was always fun,” she wrote in the eulogy. “I just loved being with my father.” While Dvorken spent his final years in New Jersey, Temple Isaiah was the appropriate place for his funeral service. His daughter wrote that her father, who was committed to Judaism and loved Israel, cared deeply about Temple Isaiah. When the temple couldn’t obtain a mortgage to construct the building in the late 1960s, Dvorken was one of 13 members who personally guaranteed the mortgage, according to his daughter. Born Oct. 19, 1931, he was the third child of Harry and May. Leo’s first brother, Simon, died before he was born, and his brother Henry was a few years older than

Dr. Leo Dvorken reading to his grandchildren Jakob and Katrina in an undated photo. him. When Leo was a child, he excelled in oration, chess, singing, art, Boy Scouts and chemistry. He loved to play football, basketball and baseball. Later in life, he became interested in tennis, skiing, music and fishing. He first attended Haverford College in Pennsylvania but then left the school to pursue an advanced degree in chemistry from New York University after being inspired by a conversation with a medical school professor at the college. Dvorken was 27 when he decided to go to medical school, but many of the New York area colleges thought he was too old, so he applied to and was accepted to a prestigious school in Geneva, Switzerland. He first had to take courses in French since all the classes were in that language. Before he traveled to Switzerland, he met his wife, Doris, a Columbia University undergraduate. The two, who recently celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary,

Which Body Type are YOU?

met at a party in the Bronx, according to his wife’s eulogy. The first time she met him his wife said she knew she would marry him. “From the minute I met him and talked to him, I felt like I didn’t need to ever talk to another person again,” his wife wrote. “It was like we were in a room alone, even though we were surrounded by others.” After studying in Switzerland, Dvorken spent his residency in a Jewish hospital in Brooklyn. In 1969 he moved out to Setauket and opened the pediatric group in Selden. His friends that he met during his residency, Dr. Arie Aloni and Dr. Boris Lustik, soon joined the practice and brought homes in Setauket, too. “It was the best decision of my life,” Lustik said. Aloni and Lustik, who are both retired from the practice, in phone interviews described Dvorken as a wonderful person and physician, and the doctors formed a strong bond.

“Our practice was unique in a sense that not only were we colleagues, but we were also friends who became an extended family,” Aloni said. “So much so that my kids call him Uncle Leo.” Lustik described Dvorken as an astute physician who was gentle with his patients, while Aloni said the doctor didn’t have a bad bone in his body. “He was the glue of our practice,” Aloni said. When other practices refused to take patients on Medicaid, Aloni said Dvorken ensured the practice was open to everyone whether they could afford medical care or not. When a 7-year-old asked him for an interview once, Dvorken answered his questions and showed him around the office. The doctor became a mentor to the boy who later went on to become a pediatric oncologist, according to Aloni. Lustik remembered Dvorken’s love of music and going to see the New York Philharmonic with him, while Aloni and the doctor would play tennis a few times a week at the Three Village Tennis Club until they retired. Tennis continued to be a passion in Dvorken’s life. Aloni said the two would talk on the phone during big tennis tournaments discussing strategies and critiquing the players. On Dvorken’s last day, they were on the phone chatting about Wimbledon, he said. In a eulogy written by Dvorken’s grandson Fran Rosenberg, he summed up the gifts his grandfather left with him and others. “My grandfather taught me through example how to be a man who produces, loves and serves his family, serves the community, follows his heart, lives his passions and respects everybody — no matter where they come from,” Rosenberg said. Dvorken is survived by his wife Doris; son Gregory; daughter Rachel; son-in-law Harry Rosenberg; and four grandchildren, Fran, Zach, Katrina and Jakob Rosenberg.

the weeklong program was spent learning the science behind techniques such as Xray diffraction, small angle X-ray scattering and infrared microscopy. After learning techniques of sample preparation in one of BNL’s wet labs, the students examined their samples on one of the beamlines of the NSLS-II. From there, they analyzed the data through several complex computer programs to determine the chemical composition of the sample they had prepared. Scientific collaboration was a key lesson of the week, as all of the students involved will submit project proposals as a collaborative group for beam time and access to the facility during the 2018-19 school year.

PERSPECTIVES

Do your part to keep plastic out of oceans

NE HO W T RA TE S

“The charmed ocean’s pausing, the waves lie still and gleaming, and the lulled winds seem dreaming,” wrote Lord Byron, an 18th-century British poet. Yet is our ocean, in which scientists estimated in 2014 that there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris, still charmed? Of that, 269,000 tons float on the surface, while some 4 billion plastic microfibers per square kilometer litter the deep sea. The United Nations estimated in 2006 every square mile of ocean contains 46,000 pieces of floating plastic. According to a University of Georgia study, about 19 billion pounds of plastic trash winds up in our oceans each year. Durability is one of plastic’s chief properties, which is the reason plastics present a seemingly endless threat to the marine environment. And the oceans are not the only repository of pollutants. Approximately 40 percent of the lakes in America are too polluted for fishing, aquatic life, or swimming. More than 1 million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals are killed by plastic pollution every year. One of the main culprits of this high level of ocean, lake and river pollution is from industrial sources, an abundant source of plastics in various forms. Further contributors to pollution are municipalities’ garbage, a significant quantity of which ends up in our waterways.

U.S. COAST GUARD

BY HERB HERMAN

Plastic is filling oceans, posing problems for humans, the environment and marine life alike. But boaters are not by any means innocent. Virtually all boaters have plastic bottles, Styrofoam cups, plastic wrappers and more onboard. Much of this detritus finds its way overboard instead of into designated garbage bags, which should be removed when departing a boat. Remember, plastics are not degradable. And while plastic bags and other items may be labeled as biodegradable, in most cases they will only break down at temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius, a temperature not normally reached in the ocean. Hurricane Irma resulted in an enormous number of fiberglass boat wrecks in the Florida Keys. In an effort to clean up after the hurricane, many of the boats were crushed, giving off fiberglass particulates. This airborne

pollutant made many people ill, to the extent that a number of residents had to be hospitalized. There is no acceptable way to recycle fiberglass, although means for doing just that are widely sought. Further, plastic microparticles less than 5 millimeters in size, have shown up in the stomachs of marine life. These particles can be consumed by humans, causing still not clearly understood health problems, although it is believed these toxins can cause cancer and stunt the growth of fetuses. The U.N. has further recognized the possibility of these plastic microparticles acting as vehicles for transporting diseases such as Zika and Ebola from animals to humans. So, you might ask, why bother us, the

boating public with these lectures about keeping the trash in the boat and disposing of it responsibly? It might seem that boats contribute a marginal amount of pollution. However, for example, during an average summer, Port Jefferson Harbor has almost 600 resident boats and some 6,000 transients and is a busy cruising destination from May through October. One can imagine the amount of plastic pollution this number of boats could contribute to this beautiful body of water. “Take it with you” should be emblazoned on all boaters’ minds. Herb Herman is the public affairs officer for the USCG Auxiliary Port Jefferson Flotilla 01422-06. He is a distinguished professor emeritus at Stony Brook University.

Town of Brookhaven is harnessing the power of the sun. Tara McLaughlin, Brookhaven’s deputy commissioner of planning, announced at the July 12 board meeting the town had received the bronze designation from SolSmart, an organization funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office, which helps municipalities across the country expand solar energy options and recognizes the ones that do so. Brookhaven applied for the designation in 2017, according to McLaughlin. “As I am a competitive person always striving to achieve more, I am confident with small changes and installation of solar panels on several town buildings, next year we will at least attain the silver award,” she said. The deputy commissioner said the town processed about 2,000 permits for solar power installation last year and expects to process at least that many in 2018. “The world is changing, people are realizing, why not use the sun,” Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said. In addition, the town is planning to install solar panels at Town Hall, the Pennysaver Amphitheater and Brookhaven Calabro Airport. The Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency, a government

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

Keeping print media alive More than a week after the New York Daily News slashed half of its editorial staff, including writers and photographers, the news still stings. Many of the journalists at TBR News Media aren’t residents of the areas we cover, but we feel like honorary members of the communities. We can imagine how heartbreaking it must be for the former staff members of the Daily News to be ripped from the neighborhoods that probably once felt like home to them. But there is a bigger issue. Both daily and weekly newspapers face the same battle every day — how to keep serving the public effectively while staying afloat financially. Once upon a time, print media only had to worry about radio and television news shows when it came to competition, but newspapers usually had the edge because they were portable. There was a time when it wasn’t unusual to see someone walking out of a stationery store or deli with a newspaper tucked under their arm. However, in a time of infinite niche websites and social media, finding ways to stay current and viable is a daunting task. Most people have some type of portable device where they can quickly pull up a news site or see what articles their friends are sharing on social media. It also doesn’t help when many feel that if a media outlet doesn’t agree with their views, then it must be “fake news.” To compound the issue, the president of the United States has refused to take questions from journalists representing certain media outlets. Most recently at an international press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May in England, Trump said he wouldn’t take questions from CNN’s Jim Acosta and NBC’s Kristen Welker. Despite the problems print media and even the media in general are facing, there are solutions — even though we feel a bit uncomfortable with the suggestion of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) for an unspecified bailout of the Daily News. A news outlet receiving money from an entity the writers report on may lead to problems in the future. Which leads to the only people who can save print media: the readers, both current and potential. There are the obvious things people can do to save the industry such as buying newspapers and frequenting the businesses who advertise in them. And readers can educate themselves. There may be “fake news” out there, but pieces of false information can be weeded out. It is incumbent upon and a requirement of citizenry to know the difference between information intentionally manufactured to mislead and factual information presented from a viewpoint different from one’s own. If journalism were as simple as making up sources and quotes to fit a desired narrative, we’d like our time back spent late at night at civic association and school board meetings, for example, and all of the other hard work that goes into informing the public. It is offensive and dangerous to lump this in with deliberately false drivel circulating on say, Facebook and Twitter. Most of all, readers can remember they are part of a newspapers’ family, especially when it comes to TBR News Media’s publications. If you have something you want to see in our pages or have a news tip, our phone lines are always open. A paper is only as good as its sources and, most of all, the readers it serves.

Letters … We welcome your letters. They should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste. We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation. Email letters to alex@tbrnewsmedia.com or mail them to The Village Beacon, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733.

Conservatives understood too well Mr. George Altemose in The Village Times Herald July 5 edition letter, “Conservatives misunderstood,” presents standard Trump-Fox & Friends talking points to defend Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ new sadistic zero-tolerance policy on aliens attempting to enter the United States. Altemose uses his routine condescending, sarcastic style, praising the North Country Peace Group for civilized behavior in the June 30 protest, unlike others. What others? The massive nationwide protests were overwhelmingly peaceful, as Altemose well knows. He then accuses the group, and all liberals, of a lack of sympathy for victims of crimes by undocumented aliens. In fact, the crime rate among such aliens is lower than among the general population. President Trump cherry-picks such cases, parading grieving families at his rallies, not out of empathy, but to enrage his

base with the lie that most such aliens are murderers, rapists and vermin infesting the U.S. Altemose claims that Sessions is simply obeying the law, and that children are routinely taken into care when their parents are incarcerated — that even President Obama did it. But Sessions is the one breaking the law. In 1968 the U.S. signed, and Congress ratified, the 1967 U.N. Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees — and asylum seekers — making it the supreme law of the land (U.S. Constitution Article VI). An asylum seeker is a person with a “well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion” who may not be treated as a criminal while his claim is adjudicated by due process of law — and there is no doubt the situation in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala is terrifying. There

are many other rules (see articles 31-33) protecting asylum seekers. This is the policy followed from 1968 until this April: such aliens were released, with their families intact, while waiting (“catch and release,” in Trump’s dehumanizing mischaracterization). In defiance of the law, Sessions’ zero tolerance criminalizes all aliens at the Mexican border, to justify incarceration and seizure of children. The policy is administered to maximize trauma — as White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly said, to deter others — and to maximize confusion and terror. As for the Time magazine cover, of course no one thinks Trump posed for it. The crying little refugee girl is a symbol for the sequestered infants and toddlers the government won’t let us see. No, Mr. Altemose, we understand Trumpists all too well.

Zeldin only cares about allies In response to the letter titled “Proud to be on Zeldin enemies list” in The Village Times Herald July 12 edition, I would like to commend Ms. Gordon for the amazing poise she displayed in light of the treatment she received via the Zeldin goons. The unbecoming conduct that was exhibited at this pathetic campaign event is a tribute to what this most absurd congressman stands for. Lee Zeldin is nothing more than a “Chump” puppet who lacks the ability to contribute one original viewpoint that would in any way improve the lives of the constituents that he is supposed to represent. Zeldin is only concerned with his own upward mobility, echoing every viewpoint that this administration utters and clamoring for a pat on the head by

his hero in the White House. This latest stunt at Smithtown Elks Lodge is proof positive that Zeldin only cares to hear the voices of those that stroke the president’s fragile ego and stand in agreement with his thoughtless policies. His frequent stints on Fox News are direct manifestations of his never-ending desire to simply be seen spouting Trumpisms in a most public forum. He ignores calls from those he deems unworthy, makes appearances at hand-picked establishments where he knows his minions will show up for photo ops and has consistently refused to hold a bipartisan town hall as a representative of the people should do. Zeldin seems to forget that he is not simply a representative

for the right-wingers who pant over the president’s every word, but works instead for everyone in Congressional District 1. Threatening to arrest members of the press and other individuals who went through all of the proper channels to attend a campaign event for a public official is simply a bullying act of cowardice that comes as no surprise to those who demand excellence and equal commitment from those who represent us in the U.S. Congress. This behavior is nothing short of disgusting and a complete contradiction of the decorum expected of a federal officeholder. It will be my pleasure to repeal and replace Lee Zeldin come November 2018.

President’s actions sickening President Donald Trump’s recent inhuman act of forcing the separation of children from their parents among certain potential immigrants has been sickening. Such an action, besides infuriating most of us, has also alienated many people in nations around the world. Furthermore, his statement that Democratic presidents — Obama and Clinton — stressed this child/parent separation is a total exaggeration. Twisted accusations of that kind, as well as lying depictions and disgusting

policies, are typical of Trump, who endlessly and severely alters the truth and thereby tarnishes the image of our beloved country. In recent months, his miserable comments aimed at certain foreign leaders have begun to turn heaven knows how many nations against us. Furthermore, his close relationship to Vladimir Putin is nothing short of disgusting, for that man is unworthy of admiration or praise from normal people. As for Trump’s obvious antipathy towards immigration, let me

say something similar to what I have said earlier in these pages: We Americans are either immigrants or the descendants of immigrants — Trump included. Even the ancestors of Native Americans came here from Asia eons ago. Let us pray for those children and their parents who have been forcefully and cruelly separated from one another by this wholly insensitive, selfish, inept, truthtwisting president.

OPINION

Unconventional back-to-school stickers

encils, notebooks, batteries, calculators, binders, blah, blah, blah. The back-to-school shopping list, after more than a dozen years, becomes tedious. Or, maybe, it’s just that teenagers turn shopping for anything into a toxic brew of frustration, impatience, and we-knowbetter-but-westill-want-you-toget-involved-too experiences. This year, in addition to all those standard school supplies, I’d like to shop for a collection of unconventional stickers or messages to put the breakfast By Daniel Dunaief on table — assuming the kids have breakfast — or in the bathroom, that they can read each day. How about: “No, she doesn’t hate you.” Your teacher may have had a bad day and she may have a difference of opinion with you, but the chance that she hates

D. None of the above

you isn’t all that high. “There is no such thing as ‘fake homework.’” It’d be nice not to have to do some subjects, but falling behind creates more work tomorrow, when you’ll be even more exhausted. “Turn off your phone.” Yes, you might need the phone for homework, but you spend way too much time pretending to do homework on it while you’re killing virtual people or sending pictures of yourself to the world. “Take a shower.” You smell, you’ll get away from your homework or job for a few minutes and you’ll make everyone else’s lives better after you no longer smell like a locker room. “Smile, even if you don’t feel like it.” It’s amazing how much better you and everyone else will feel if and when you stop scowling. “Don’t write in all CAPS!” It’s annoying and it makes you look like you want to shout. “Yes, I’m sure he’s your brother.” We brought both of you home from the hospital and we intend to keep both of you. “Neatness counts.” This is true at home and at school. “Don’t waste too much time today.”

Yeah, we all know that we won’t be efficient all the time. How about if we strive for less inefficiency today? “Say something nice.” That is, to someone other than your best friend(s). “Assume Santa Claus is watching you today.” Kids get presents regardless of whether they’ve been naughty or nice, which leads them to believe the song about Santa watching all the time is wrong. They may, however, suspect that he could focus on a few times or days. Today could be one of those days “No, everyone is not an idiot.” Not even you. “Laugh with someone more than at someone.” “Clean up this crap.” You made a mess and you can clean it up, even if it’s more fun to watch a parent do it. “Even if no one else knows, you’ll know.” Isn’t that enough? “Everything might not matter, but something should.” “Close the door and scream.” Shouting can release tension. “Make more mistakes today.” Your errors present opportunities to learn. “If you feel like you’re falling asleep when you shouldn’t, ask a question.” And no, it shouldn’t be, “Will this be

on the test?” “Your ideas are fine. Your breath could use improvement.” “Yes, we have to have winter again.” “Are you sure you want to cross that line again today?” “Do you really believe your own argument?” “Are you sharing more with strangers than family?” “Try to say ‘please’ out loud as often as you send an instant message.” “Yes, that clock is accurate, so move along.” “Just because it’s on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true or false. It could be both.” “Help someone other than yourself today.” Maybe a few of these stickers will make a teenager’s world and those of us who live around it into something that smells better, is neater and contains a few extra social graces. Then again, perhaps aiming lower, a sticker could suggest: “Try not to roll your eyes when you read this.”

Can the watched and the watchers coexist?

t’s no secret that newspapers, large and small, are financially hurting. We know the reasons as well. The internet makes shopping possible from our bedrooms and sometimes at a cheaper price than a downtown store. We can send birthday gifts to our grandchildren and friends while we are still in our pajamas and slippers, and the items will arrive nicely wrapped and on time. This in turn makes retailing difficult, from box stores and By Leah S. Dunaief malls to neighborhood shops. So many of the large (like Toys “R” Us, Genovese Drug Stores) and the smaller (like Swezey’s) and mom-and-pop stores have given up. While the larger stores advertised in the dailies, these smaller

Between you and me

businesses reached their customers in the immediate vicinity through the local papers, and they were the backbone of the hometown newspapers’ financial model. Fewer such businesses are left, and some of those place their ads only on the internet. The nature of shopping and of advertising has been profoundly disrupted. So we have a publication like the New York Daily News, once the paper with the highest circulation in America, cutting half their editorial department in order to survive. And we have any number of community newspapers closing their doors and leaving their hometowns without an effective voice to protect them. Failure to adequately monetize their own investments in the internet by struggling papers has been part of the problem. The difference between larger dailies and smaller weeklies is more than size. When a daily cuts back or gives up, there are other news sources that can fill the gap for national and international news. But when the community papers and websites disappear, the local issues that arise at school board

or town board or civic or chamber of commerce meetings, or on a particular block with high crime or tainted water or garbage dumping or illegal development, those are not necessarily picked up by the remaining bigger news outlets. The stop signs and potholes are local matters, and for the most part they need local coverage. That recognition is the reason that the State of New Jersey has now put up millions of dollars in its budget to help pay for community journalism. Say what? How can that be? After all, news media are supposed to be the watchdogs of the people against those who would take advantage, especially those corrupt officials in government. So how can government subsidize media and the residents still expect the media to independently investigate government? Since the earliest days and the first leaders of our republic, people have known that a democracy cannot exist without independent news sources. That is why the First Amendment — the first before all others — protects freedom of the press. It is the only industry enshrined in our Constitution. And for

those local legislators and executives and judges, the local newspapers are the ones who disseminate the news of what our officials are doing to help us. So it is not so odd that local officials want to come to our aid. They need us just as we need to watch over them. Can this relationship exist in an independent, nonpartisan fashion? I think it can if there is a neutral party between us. Public television, like my favorite PBS “NewsHour,” and radio stations get funding (not a lot) from the government. “It’s not about saving journalism in New Jersey,” Mike Rispoli, director of an advocacy group on behalf of local media, said in The New York Times. “It’s about making sure our communities are engaged and informed.” So if funds are awarded to media by boards made up of representatives from the communities, like state universities, community organizations and technology groups as well as government officials, the goal of independent journalism can be met. There is a fine line here not to be crossed. See editorial for another view on this topic.
