Starting Feb. 1, Emma Clark will offer Library of Things, when cardholders will find nontraditional items to borrow. The items are perfect for one-time use or for a way to try out a new item before deciding to purchase one, according to a library press release. It’s also an opportunity to save space in the home and a way to rethink whether a rarely used good needs to be bought. The library, in general, reduces wasted resources, and this collection will expand upon that concept. The goal is for Emma Clark to continue to develop the notion of the library as a place for the community. The Library of Things increases sharing and gives people access to equipment and gadgets without the burden of ownership, according to the press release. Useful items that will be available: • Binoculars • Bluetooth speaker • Blu-ray player • Cricut Explore (DIY cutting machine) • Document/photo scanner • Google Chromecast • Mini LED portable projector • Osmo Mobile 2 (for filming on the go) • Portable DVD player • Telescope • VHS converter • Wi-Fi mobile hot spots Library cardholders will be able to reserve items ahead of time right from www.emmaclark. org. Or they may borrow items while at the library, as long as there is not a hold already placed on the item. Full descriptions of each item will be

available on the website and on the item itself. Lending equipment is done through the Circulation Desk in the library’s lobby. Items must be returned to the Circulation Desk not through the book drop. Borrowers must have a valid adult Emma Clark library card in good standing. A maximum of two items per library card may be borrowed at a time. Items may be borrowed for two weeks.

Children’s events

Kick off the weekend of the big game with football-themed festivities Feb. 2. Simply drop in the Children’s Department at Emma Clark library between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. Play games and enter for a chance to win a special raffle prize. The library staff encourages visitors to wear a shirt or jersey with their favorite football team but this is not required. During the school’s winter break, Emma Clark will once again be participating in Take Your Child to the Library Day, an international movement to raise awareness for libraries. Stop by Wednesday, Feb. 20, between 2 and 4 p.m. for carnival games, face painting, temporary tattoos, balloon sculpting, crafts and more. Additionally, in keeping with the festivities of Take Your Child to the Library Day, each new library card sign-up on Feb. 20 will be entered in a raffle. Parents can get a card for their young one as soon as they are born and immediately start enjoying the library’s resources, such as the Time for Baby classes. There is no registration for either of these events, and families with kids of all ages residents or nonresidents, are welcome. For more information, email kids@ emmaclark.org or call 631-941- 4080, ext. 123. The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library is located at 120 Main St., Setauket.

Historic church opens doors to all faiths BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Through prayer, a Stony Brook church is connecting further with the surrounding community. The doors of All Souls Episcopal Church on Main Street are always open for all to pray or to enjoy activities such as its Saturdays at Six concerts, Second Saturdays poetry readings and Shamanic Drumming events. Beginning Jan. 30, the church will offer a weekly interdenominational morning prayer service led by Stony Brook residents Dan Kerr and Don Estes. Kerr, a church volunteer at All Souls, said he starts every day with structured prayer time and believes the new service is a natural progression to what the church has been doing. The congregation connects with approximately 500 people from the community through its events, he said, and many have asked for something such as the new morning service. “The vision of this is that we have a relationship with all these 500 people, but we’ve never invited those 500 people to come and pray with us,” Kerr said. He said the prayers and readings they will use at the interdenominational service are ones that all Christians will recognize and all religions can appreciate. Kerr said both he and Estes believe “any day that begins with prayer is likely to be a good day.” “If you start your day with a reading from Scripture, and a little reflection on Scripture, whether its Old Testament or New Testament, it gives you a framework that helps you realize that there’s a bigger picture,” Kerr said. Estes, a Methodist who attends Stony Brook Community Church at 216 Christian Ave. and former commodore of Stony Brook Yacht Club, said he was looking for an interdenominational prayer service for a while, so when Kerr brought up the idea, he said he would be happy to help. Estes said starting the day with prayer every day had helped him through difficult times, especially when his wife Judy was battling Alzheimer’s disease before her passing last year. “It’s been a big help to me to meet the challenges of the day,” he said. A retired TWA pilot, Estes said he’s also been inspired by his travels around the world that allowed him to witness others’ prayer practices and his wife’s spirituality. He thinks a prayer group such as the All Souls one helps people figure out how they should be and what the day should be like for them. “A prayer in the morning gets you started in the right direction for the day,” Estes said. Tom Manuel, president and founder of The Jazz Loft, was pleased to hear the service would be offered. “The secret of a close relationship with our

God is to prioritize our first time each morning in prayer,” Manuel said. “In the morning, our minds tend to be the most clear and free from problems. Setting our course and focus on God is a great way to commit the day ahead to him.” Town of Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said she commended Kerr and Estes for joining the community together with prayer. “This early morning service reminds me of my grandmother who attended Mass every morning,” Cartright said. “Her devotion to starting every day with prayer has had a great positive impact on my faith. Prayer has always been such an important part of my personal and family life. It helps to keep me grounded, and it helps to keep me connected to God. Our faith communities are stronger when we can come together and pray together. Faith is one of the important ties that bind us together.” The interdenominational morning prayer service will be held every Wednesday beginning Jan. 30 at 7 a.m. The service will run approximately 30 minutes, according to Kerr, and people of all faiths and traditions are welcome to attend.

State budget plan cuts aid for local municipalities BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

More than a week after New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) released his proposed budget for the 2019-20 fiscal year, many municipalities both big and small in Suffolk County may have to face the reality of losing state funding. This comes as a result of the governor’s decision to end state funding to Suffolk County towns and villages as part of a program called Aid and Incentives for Municipalities, which was originally established in the state’s 2005-06 fiscal year. If the budget passes, 41 towns and villages in Suffolk County stand to lose AIM funding. Those local governments that rely on AIM funding for more than 2 percent of their budgets would keep this aid. “It’s as if the governor has decided to aim a dagger at the heart of every municipality on Long Island,” Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said. The Town of Brookhaven stands to lose $1.8 million, which is the second highest loss in funding behind the Town of Hempstead which is set to lose $3.8 million. Romaine said the decision to cut aid for Brookhaven taxpayers is unconscionable and that it will have an immediate and serious impact on town services and could result in a tax increase. Other townships along the North Shore are also standing on the cliff’s edge of funding loss. Huntington Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) said in a statement that he is disappointed to learn of what he called an unprecedented $59 million in total cuts Cuomo has proposed in his 2020 NYS budget, including little more than $1 million in AIM funds for Huntington. “[This is] effectively gutting the unrestricted state revenue sharing program and significantly affecting the Long Island region,” the town supervisor said. “I urge our state Legislature to reject the governor’s dangerous proposal, which could translate into service and program cuts and layoffs.”

James Gaughran (D-Northport); Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant; Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R); Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R); and Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R). — Photo above by Sara-Megan Walsh; below, file photos

The Huntington supervisor added the town should not be punished because of what he described as its conservative fiscal practices, which have resulted in a state funding stream that represents less than 2 percent of the town’s budget. “When you take over $1 million away from us, the money has to come from somewhere,” he said. Over in the Town of Smithtown, which stands to lose more than $650,000 in AIM funds, officials are staying wary of the timetables, especially considering that many municipalities calculate the AIM funds into their regular yearly budgets. “We’ve heard about it, though it’s not official yet — there’s a distinct possible that it could happen,” said Town of Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R). Town officials expressed that the governor should give them and other municipalities more time to prepare for the proposed budget cuts. Werheim said the town already has completed its budget and if the money is lost it would put a hole in their operating budget, forcing them to

allocate funds from somewhere else. If the governor’s plan goes into effect, programs like Horizons Counseling & Education could lose funding, officials said. The program is funded to provide adolescent and adult treatment, prevention and education services for drug- and alcohol-related problems. “I’d ask [the governor] to reconsider other avenues,” Werheim said. “Many municipalities on Long Island depend and rely on federal funding.” Many incorporated villages along the North Shore are also looking at a funding loss, such as the Village of Northport which is expected to lose $50,000. Others villages like Poquott would lose $2,500, Belle Terre $4,100 and Old Field $3,500. “I do not yet know how this is going to impact the village,” Old Field Mayor Michael Levine said. The Village of Port Jefferson would lose $33,000 of AIM funding. “If that goes through it means losing another

budget revenue line,” Mayor Margot Garant said. “As this stuff starts to pile up, it really starts to hurt.” Garant mentioned that the lobbying group New York Conference of Mayors and Municipal Officials, which represents mayors and small municipalities across New York, will be pushing back against this line in the budget come February. Other groups like Suffolk County Village Officials Association will also work with NYCOM and Suffolk legislators to lobby Suffolk’s representatives in Albany about the dire consequences of this aspect of the governor’s budget proposal. “The governor’s proposal hurts the village citizens the most in villages that have the largest budgetary needs,” said Richard Smith, president of SCVOA. “The governor continues to add to village responsibilities and costs, but simultaneously wants to force villages to increase their local property taxes to pay for the same village services as were provided last year.” While schools are gearing up to present next year’s budgets, some districts on Long Island would also see less state aid if the governor’s proposed budget passes. Shoreham-Wading River School District would see an incremental increase in foundation aid of $16,000 but a fall in expense-driven aids resulting in a net decrease of $77,000 in state aid. Superintendent Gerard Poole said the district expects to advocate for more funds. “Last year, as a result of our advocacy and the support of our local legislators, our final foundation aid allocation was about $100,000 higher than what the executive budget originally proposed,” Poole said. “It is also important to note that an additional aid category, building aid, which was not included in recent media reports is in fact projected to increase for our district next year due to the completion of capital projects.” The New York State Senate Finance and Assembly Ways and Means committees must review the proposed budget before the state Legislature acts on the appropriation bills. Town officials and others said they will continue to advocate for more aid for their districts.

State

NYS legislators take steps toward voting reform BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

A few days after being sworn-in, state Senate and Assembly members had voting on their minds. Both houses passed a package of bills Jan. 14 which are currently awaiting the signatures of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). Legislators said the goal of the bills is to reform the state’s current electoral process to make voting easier and to reduce the influence of special interest in elections, according to a press release from the office of state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket). “It’s a good day for democracy in New York,” Englebright said in the release. “Our vote to eliminate barriers will make voting more accessible to all state residents.” One piece of legislation will establish a nine-day early voting period starting in the 2019 general election. The period will include two weekends to allow voters to cast their votes in person, also before any primary or special election. This is what 35 other states and Washington, D.C., already do. “New York is no longer behind the rest of the country,” said state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport).

Gaughran said many residents have told him that there have been times they have been unable to vote due to being stuck in the city with work or with inclement weather delaying trains. He added early voting would benefit all parties and races. State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) said in a statement if the bills become law there will not only be more time to cast votes but more clarity on primary day as well as more transparency. “In today’s society, with so many people working long hours, combined with active lifestyles, the system needs to change to make it easier for individuals to participate in elections,” LaValle said in a release. Another bill will change absentee voting no earlier than November 2021. Currently, a voter can cast an absentee ballot if they know they will be unable to do so Election Day due to physical illness or disability. An amendment to the New York State Constitution would allow for “no excuse” absentee voting. State legislators also passed bills to combine the state primary with the federal nonpresidential primary. If Cuomo signs it into law, these primaries will take place in June. Gaughran said the move would save taxpayer

dollars, and it ensures the NYS election laws comply with the federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act, which helps in the efficiency of military members serving overseas and citizens who live abroad voting in U.S. elections. Gaughran said he thinks combining primaries will help those who are currently overseas vote as easily for local offices as well as federal. Another piece of legislation will allow voter registration to be allowed up to Election Day instead of 10 days or before. New York State voters will need to vote on the act as a constitutional amendment. Another bill would automatically transfer a voter’s registration when they move within New York state instead of residents needing to update when they move from one county to another. The state legislators approved a bill that will require voter registration forms to include a space for preregistering for those 16 and 17 years of age. LaValle said, as a former teacher and principal, the bill was a meaningful one for him for young people to stay involved in the political process. “It is my hope that when the measures become law, more people will take advantage of the opportunity to vote, allow more of

State legislators recently voted on legislation to reform voting in New York.

voices to be heard, and thereby strengthen our government in the process,” LaValle said. Both houses passed legislation to restrict the LLC loophole, which allows LLCs to make campaign contributions as individuals, and enables one person or corporation that owns multiple LLCs to funnel donations to a single candidate or committee. If Cuomo signs the bill, LLC campaign contributions will be limited to a $5,000 aggregate — the same limit that exists for corporations — and would require the disclosure of all owners of the LLC, whether direct or indirect.

Perspectives

Your Turn: Time to end fusion voting in New York New York State lawmakers are moving forward with a number of progressive changes to our election laws. Democrats are to be commended for keeping the promise they made to New Yorkers to make it easier for all of us to exercise our right to vote. But Albany has not yet addressed fusion voting. New York state is only one of eight states where fusion voting occurs. Voters come across fusion voting or cross endorsements when they enter the ballot box and see a candidate’s name on several lines on the ballot. This occurs most often in judicial races: candidate Jane Doe is on the Republican, Democratic, Conservative, Independence, Working Family and possibly other lines. The voter might ask herself, “What difference will my vote make?” Good question, since cross endorsements generally take the choice out of the hands of the voter and into the hands of party leaders. In 2010 Suffolk County Clerk Judith Pascale (R) and county Comptroller Joseph Sawicki (R) both won their re-elections with 100 percent of the vote. In 2013, Sheriff Vincent DeMarco (C), county Treasurer Angie Carpenter (R) and Suffolk’s District Attorney Thomas Spota (D) all achieved

remarkable victories by garnering 100 percent of patronage jobs or other political favors. Most the public’s support. Of course, the support came egregious among these is the Independence from the backroom deals that agreed to put the Party that has no identifiable platform, and officials’ names on the Republican, Democratic, whose ranks are filled with people who believe that they have registered as Conservative and Independence Independent — unaffiliated party lines. Pascale repeated this voters only to later discover feat in 2014. that they are part of a party. Fusion voting created a Voters are often perplexed Suffolk County government as to some discordant alliances in which five of the six reflected on the ballot. How is countywide positions were a Democrat endorsed by the held for eight years by Democratic and Conservative individuals who had been parties? Candidates waffle on selected, not elected. This begs important issues that define the the question as to who was basic values of the party in which watching the proverbial store they are registered in order to get when both the treasurer and on the line of a third party. comptroller were beholden to We focus our attention party bosses or whether justice on the corruption and was being served when both By Vivian Viloria-Fisher disenfranchisement on the the sheriff and district attorney national level, but we should — who later left office under not forget that all politics a cloud — were ordained in is local. Because of fusion voting, there is backroom deals. Minor parties gain a disproportionate a disproportionate number of Conservative amount of power by doling out their lines for judges in Suffolk County, relative to the number

of Conservative party members in the general public. In the 2018 Supreme Court 10th Judicial District race, all seven victors names appeared on the Democratic line: the top three vote getters on the Democratic and Republican lines, the next four on the Democratic, Conservative and Independence lines. Given the challenges to democratic values that our nation faces in the nominations of even more conservative judges to the U.S. Supreme Court, it is mind boggling to know that local party leaders align the Democratic and Conservative parties on the ballot of the 10th Judicial District. I have voiced my concerns about cross endorsements for many years, but now is the moment that leaders and elected officials must be held accountable and must be pressured to put an end to this deceptive practice. Let your members on the New York State Assembly and Senate and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) know that fusion voting is contrary to our democracy’s basic tenet of a citizen’s right to vote. Vivian Viloria-Fisher was a Suffolk County legislator 1999-2011. She ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2018 in the Democratic primary for the 1st District.

Centereach foundation for fallen soldier hosts annual event

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

For more than 10 years, the friends and family members of James McNaughton have come together to celebrate his life and will do so once again Sunday, Jan. 27, at Mulcahy’s Pub & Concert Hall in Wantagh. McNaughton, who grew up in Centereach, was a New York City Police Department officer and army reservist killed by sniper fire in 2005 while stationed in Iraq. After his death, childhood friends along with his family were inspired to form the James McNaughton Foundation, a nonprofit that donates proceeds to various charities. This year’s get-together at Mulcahy’s will make the 14th anniversary of the event. Over the years 25,000 people have attended, according to McNaughton’s childhood friend Vinny Zecca. Not only does the day honor the former Centereach resident’s life but also raises proceeds for multiple charities including

the Wounded Warriors Project and the PTSD Veterans Association of Northport. “Our goal of the event is to ensure that we keep Jimmy’s memory alive, while honoring all of the fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and raising awareness and support for veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness or wound due to their military service,” Zecca said. At last year’s event, McNaughton’s father, Bill McNaughton, a retired NYPD officer, Army veteran and Centereach resident, said he felt his son was still helping others. “That’s what this is about, he’s still helping his men,” McNaughton said. “All those people out there shows how he touched so many lives, and as a father, you can’t ask more than that. It is an honor to see it.” Mulcahy’s Concert Hall is located at 3232 Railroad Ave., Wantagh. The event will run from 1 to 9 p.m. Jan. 27 and there is a $20 suggested donation.

North Shore businesses offer free food, services during government shutdown

Sassy Salads & Bagel Lady Cafe, Shoreham

BY KYLE BARR AND SARA-MEGAN WALSH KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM, SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The current government shutdown became the longest running federal closure in the nation’s history as of Jan. 12 — and there’s no clear end in sight. It’s estimated more than 800,000 government employees are either furloughed or are continuing to work without pay. By this publication’s press time, the shutdown has been ongoing for 34 days. Several North Shore businesses, residents and other nonprofit organizations are doing what they can to aid those individuals who are anxiously awaiting their next paycheck.

Prism Wellness Salon and Spa, St. James Janine Arguila, owner of Prism Wellness Salon and Spa in St. James, announced Jan. 16 via Facebook that her business would offer free haircuts to federal employees with a valid government ID through Feb. 26, or when the shutdown ends. “We cannot end the shutdown but we can help those affected!” reads the Jan. 16 post. Additional notification was also sent out via email to her clients on the company’s mailing list. Arguila said the public’s reaction to her offer was immediate and overwhelming. “We’d had people saying, ‘Thank you so much, I’m not even a government employee and I think this is amazing’,” she said, noting thousands of likes and shares the announcement quickly garnered. The salon owner said she came up with the idea after reading a friend’s social media posts about how her husband serves with the U.S. Coast Guard and was not sure when he would be able to subsist without a paycheck.

“A lot of people are government employees, or it’s their family, and we don’t even realize it,” Arguila said. The first to accept the offer of a free haircut was a regular customer, according to Arguila, who thanked her after stating that her husband is a government employee and is working unpaid. She expects her salon will provide free services to many more as the shutdown drags on. “I’ve had my success is by giving back,” the owner said. “My mother taught me to do the right thing no matter what it is. It’s always worked for me in every way.”

Those who give food now know there is no hint yet when the shutdown could be over. Linda Winter, the longtime owner of Sassy Salads & Bagel Lady Cafe, located in the Shoreham Plaza along Route 25A, announced Jan. 17 she would be giving out a complementary dozen bagels to those government employees who walked through her door. Over the weekend, Winter said more than 80 individuals came in for the bagels. She was astounded by the number of people who came in looking for help. “We didn’t refuse anybody,” Winter said. The deluge of people coming in for bagels was so much she said there were wait times for regular customers as they needed to keep baking new batches over the weekend. Winter added she may have to reduce the number of bagels or ask people to call ahead, yet she was adamant it had been worth it so far.

“Here I am nearly 29 years in this location and the community has supported me for all those years, so I felt it was the right gesture,” Winter said. “I can imagine it’s a scary time for them ... they are singled out, and they need to know people care about them and what’s going on in their lives right now.”

Del Fiore Italian Market, Rocky Point

More organizations offer help to government workers in need

Del Fiore Italian Market, located on Broadway in the Rocky Point Business District, starting Jan. 17, gave out two-person meals to government employees throughout the weekend. By Jan. 22, the store had gifted meals to more than 200 people, some of whom traveled from as far as Nassau County. Each meal included a box of fresh cheese ravioli, a quart of meat or marinara sauce and a loaf of bread valued at $18. The owners said they gave out close to $800 worth of food. After the weekend the business gave out bags of house-cooked pasta until Jan. 24. “When something’s wrong, people eat, so when something’s wrong you give people food — that’s what we do, we Italian people,” said Camille Pabon, who helps run the family-owned Del Fiore with her sister Lorian Prince. While its costly to supply these meals, Pabon said other patrons were quick in supplying the business some money to help pay for the lost revenue. She received promises from those who accepted free food now would come back later as full-paying patrons once the shutdown is over.

Other businesses and organizations from Port Jefferson to Huntington have been stepping up to offer aid to those government workers affected by shutdown: * Blue Salon and Spa in Stony Brook is advertising a free blowout and haircut to those affected by the shutdown. * On Jan. 18 Wahlburgers in Port Jeff Station announced it is offering a free burger, side and soft drink to individuals who could provide a government identification, ending sometime around Jan. 23.

Perspectives Editor’s note: Fifth-grade Minnesauke Elementary School teacher Kate Hunter shared letters with TBR News Media that her students wrote to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to commemorate his namesake holiday. Below are a few of those letters randomly selected by the editor.

Things still aren’t perfect

Dear Dr. Martin King, Your dream has been accomplished! It is now illegal to practice segregation in this country. There has already been an AfricanAmerican president. But if you were still alive, what more might you have done? Perhaps you could have exported edible food and water to people who need it? Or maybe you would have influenced better education. You also could have made more people follow the path of non-violence? But what about the things you were able to do? Before, only the white man had the finest

things but with you there is equality. Your actions made a great change in history. You helped make it so people are defined by their character rather than color. If I had to pick three words to describe you I would pick smart, because you attended college at fifteen; courageous, because you did what others were too afraid to do; and noble, because you did not resort to violence even when they were violent. From you, I now know anyone can make a difference. With best wishes, Kieran

Dear Martin, A lot of things have changed since you were here. Some for the better but things still aren’t perfect. I know that you protested for civil rights. There is no more segregation and places for whites only and places for blacks only. You kept fighting and fighting, meanwhile, people were trying to kill you and your family. That didn’t stop you one bit, did it? No! Obviously, it didn’t but things have changed, here’s what happened. Now a days, in 2019, black people don’t have green backs. They can go to every restaurant, every hotel, every gas station and every place they need. They won’t have to be denied because of segregation. We had our first African-American

president and nobody had to fight physically about it. White and black kids ride buses together, go to the same schools and drink from the same water fountains. Though there are civil rights in some places around the world, there is poverty and people are homeless and living in the woods. People spray paint horrible things on houses, walls, cars, mailboxes and on buildings. So the world still has a long way to go. You made a big change to the world. We all thank you for helping our country become better. Though you did not live to see that day. we can live it for you. From, Isabella

Dear Dr. King, My name is Natalie, and I am a fifth-grade student at Minnesauke Elementary School. I am here writing to you about what a difference you made. On the third Monday of January, we honor you for the changes you have made for us. That day makes me think back to the time there was segregation. But, because of you, the world has changed. Now little white girls and white boys join hands with little black girls and black boys, as brothers and sisters. Even though you are no longer with us, you still seem to stand here as a true leader. As you know, you have made a huge difference and

sacrificed your life to do something amazing! It’s amazing how you pushed past harsh weather conditions, bad food and barely any water. If you were here many problems would find solutions. You would also be able to teach people how to be leaders. There are lots of important people in the world but you were the one that was made of courage, strength and power. That’s what it takes to be a leader. One day I hope to be a leader like you and make a powerful difference in the world! Love, Natalie

Dear Martin, Hello, my name is Rowan. You have taught me so many things. You have taught me love is stronger than hate. You taught me that one person, no matter how old, can change the world. Now, in 2019, many of your dreams have come true. After many centuries of inequality to African-Americans, you’ve stopped it without any violence. Not even the touch of your fist. Abraham Lincoln stopped slavery, but had to do it with having the bloodiest war in America’s history. It’s also so amazing that you inspired so many people. Even after your death. You saw what God saw. You achieved God’s mission. It’s almost like God lived inside you and was you. You gave African-Americans hope. You made a new country. But there are some of your dreams that have not come true yet. Especially how in some places women don’t get paid as much as men. My teacher, Mrs. Hunter, had a friend named Jason. They both tried out for the same job, but Jason would get more money. They both quit the job. That was many years ago.

Today in 2019, we have off of school to celebrate your birthday, Jan. 15, 1929, in Alabama. Another one of your dreams that have not come true yet is an end to poverty. Whenever my family and I take a trip to New York City, we see people laying on the hard concrete sidewalks, homeless. Then pigeons start to come over and peck at their only food. Just to think about it pulls at my heartstrings. I think how fortunate to have shelter, food, water and even education. I can’t even imagine sleeping on a sidewalk. One thing causing some of this is our government shutdown right now. Our president plans on building a wall for $1 billion! Congress doesn’t agree so the government shutdown. Whoever has a job for the government is not getting paid to deed their family. Isn’t that crazy? For all you have done for our country, there is on thing you did that is most important. You made the United States what it was meant to be. Sincerely, Rowan

Dear Dr. King, My classmates and I are learning a lot about you! We’re in fifth grade and so far, it seems as though you were incredibly smart. I like that you never protested violently. You not only protested peacefully but you never fought back with violence or fists. It’s true that love is way stronger than hate. I wish you were still alive right now because I want you to see all the changes and think of your childhood to now. One thing that’s different is that from where I live, people are allowed to drink from water fountains or use the bathroom no matter if they’re black or white. We celebrate a holiday called “Martin Luther King, Jr. Day” on the third Monday of January and it’s because we’ll remember how you’ve changed the world. It’s great that you think no matter who we are, how we look, or what our skin tone is, we’re all one humongous family. Your “I have a Dream”

speech is astonishing. This world would probably have been the same if you weren’t there. There are still some problems. Some girls around the world still don’t have the right to have an education. Some other people in my town who are homeless must live in a tent, and one time, when I went to New Jersey, there was a homeless man, walking the streets holding a sign that sadly said that he was poor. But, a lot of things have changed thanks to a male who fought peacefully, without fists, who was intelligent, peaceful, optimistic, hopeful, courageous, brand and who believed that everyone can make a difference. And that male was ... Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a feeling that if you were still here today, you could make the world an even better place. Sincerely, Mia Liu

Dear Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I sit here writing this letter to you thinking about all you have done for this country, this state, this world. I am happy to tell you today that your speech did go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. I am a fifth-grader at Minnesauke Elementary School. Every person is different in so many ways but no matter what, we are all still brothers and sisters and without you, I don’t think we would have ever seen each other as brothers and sisters. If you were still alive, you still would be fighting for women’s rights, immigration and so many other things going on in the world. I wish you were still alive today. If you were alive, our world would be such a better place. I hope that one day I will help a lot of people as you did.

You did a lot of great things for this world and yet not once did you do it for yourself. Your whole life you have been fighting to help others by putting your own life at risk. At the end of your life, many people honored you for dying to help others. On your second trip to Memphis, Tennessee, you were assassinated and died, and I wish I was as brave as you. Sincerely, Anne

What might you have done

The difference you made

Love is stronger than hate

Wish you were alive right now

We are still brothers and sisters

Photo finish for Patriots track BY BILL LANDON It was a photo finish for Ward Melville’s Harrison Bassin, above left, when the junior found some last-minute leg, clocking in at 10 minutes, 6.89 seconds just one-third of a second behind the winner Daniel Czop of Commack in the grueling 3,200-meter at the League I boys winter track and field final at Suffolk County Community College’s Brentwood campus Jan. 19. Bassin was also a leg in the 4x400 relay event, putting the Patriots at the top of the field

in crossing the line first with a time of 3:38.85. Owen Larson, left in above photo, who notched fourth in the 600 finals at 1:28.73, was also part of the relay effort. Caleb Wheeler, same photo above on right, along with Dave Selzer were the other two legs of the relay team.

History Close at Hand

Three Village residents braved the snow in the 1800s BY BEVERLY C. TYLER Our winter weather has been mostly mild so far this year, and we don’t expect any significant snowfall until later in the season. Nowadays we are also protected from the effects of the weather in our homes and in our cars as we travel from place to place. During the winter of 1800 to 1801, Dr. Samuel Thompson noted the changes in the weather as he ran the operation of his extensive farm in Setauket and cared for the sick. He wrote in his diary, “Thursday, November 13, 1800. Wind [from the] west, cloudy and very thick air with smoke and so dark at nine or ten o’clock as to light a candle to eat breakfast by. Some rain — but breaks away and the weather is cool.” Later in the month the weather changed, and Thompson continued, “Friday, November 21, … [It] begins to snow long before day [light and] continues to snow all day — very cold storm.” On Saturday, the northeast wind continued to blow and on Sunday he wrote that the snow fell all day. The life of the farmer and other residents of the Three Villages continued to be busy through the winter months. There were no crops to tend, as in the summer, but the animals had to be taken care of and the weather seemed to make little difference in the routine. The weather moderated after that early snow and the remainder of 1800 brought only occasional days of snow and rain. Heat for the family homes in 1800 consisted of a wood fire in the fireplace. Large amounts of wood were cut and stacked each fall but had to be supplemented by trips into the woods to gather more firewood. Thompson’s house (the restored Thompson House on North Country Road in Setauket) has a great central chimney with four fireplaces that provided the only heat for the large saltbox-style farmhouse. The activity at the Thompson farm continued despite the weather as the doctor wrote Dec. 30, 1800. “… kill my cow and ten sheep. George Davis’ wife came here and bought eight pounds of flax. Mr. Green [Rev. Zachariah Green, pastor of the Setauket Presbyterian Church] came here [and] said [that] Mrs. Akerly was better … Snow this night.” It was a normal part of the farm routine for local residents to come to the Thompson farm to buy flax to spin and weave into cloth or to buy hay for their animals or meat and other farm produce. Thompson and his wife would often have visitors who would spend the night at the farm and leave the next day. On Dec. 31, 1800, Thompson wrote, “… Robbin and Franklin [his oldest son Benjamin Franklin] cut up the cow and the sheep. Sharper salts them. Salla (Sarah) Smith works here at taloring [sic]. Makes a coat and jacket for Killis [Robbin, Sharper and Killis were black

slave farmhands], made a pair of trowsers [sic] for Franklin. Miss Lidda Mount and Miss Sissa Mount come here for a visit, dined here and drank tea here. Mrs Akerly remains much [sick] so I make her the third phial of antimonial solution [a medicine containing antimony].” The daily routine of life at the Thompson farm continued much the same through the winter. Friends were entertained at tea or dinner, neighbors and relatives arrived to buy farm produce, and Thompson prescribed for the relief of the residents. Life in the wintertime was hard for these early residents, the cold was a constant companion, and the wood fireplaces could not provide the warmth that we consider to be regular part of our lives now. Winter weather did not prevent residents from maintaining their regular activities in spite of cold or snow. In 1819, Henry Hudson was teaching school in Stony Brook in the “Upper School” located on Main Street south of the mill pond. On Friday, Feb. 12, he wrote in his journal, “… I tend school [about 40 students] … snow at 4 this afternoon — grows cold — storms hard. I spend the evening at Benah Petty’s with

company of young people. Go to Nath. Smith’s to lodge — severe storm. Saturday, February 13th 1819 … Snow storm — cold. I tend school — continues to storm. At 4 [in the] afternoon I go to Joseph Hawkins’ and stay. Sunday, February 14, 1819. Clears off, snow about 10 inches deep — drifted very much. I go to Mr. Green’s meeting [Rev. Zachariah Green, pastor of the Setauket Presbyterian Church] — return to Nath. Smith’s then go to Charles Hallock’s. He tends the meeting and [we were] much engaged [talking about the meeting] and time pleasingly spent. Go to Jedidiah Mills’ this evening. “Tuesday 16th. West wind — pleasant sleighing — gone warm. I tend school — 42 schollars [sic] — I leave Nath. Smith’s, make 3 days board … I make a beginning to the Wido(w) Mount’s to board on the second quarter. Wedn. 17th … Comes on to snow at 9 this evening — sharp night — some sleighing though poor in the road, considerable snow. Thursday, February 18th … I tend school — 41 schollars [sic]. This cold day. This is the appointment for the bible class. Mr. Green (Zachariah) comes here at 5 O’clock with a missionary priest. I return to Mount’s.”

Hudson taught three of the Mount children, Robert Nelson, William Sidney and Ruth Hawkins. He boarded about three days with each family of his students while he taught in Stony Brook. His travels during the week included going, usually on foot, from the Widow Mount’s, known as the Hawkins-Mount house on Route 25A and Stony Brook Road, to the Setauket Presbyterian Church. As a school teacher on a limited income, Hudson did not have a horse and would often walk great distances. His home at the time, until 1846 when he moved to East Setauket, was at the family’s farm in Long Pond in the Wading River area. After the quarter was over, he walked back to his home and during the following years, he taught school in South Setauket (Nassakeag), Moriches and East Setauket often walking from home to school each week. In some years he would walk to Patchogue or Riverhead and back in the same day. Beverly C. Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket. For more information, call 631-7513730 or visit www.tvhs.org.

Obituary

Dr. Cedric Priebe leaves behind pediatric surgery legacy BY GREG PRIEBE, CATHERINE BOTTICELLI, MARTA PRIEBE AND CEDRIC J. PRIEBE III

Dr. Cedric Joseph Priebe Jr., 88, of South Setauket and formerly Old Field, died Jan. 19. He was born Feb. 7, 1930, in Queens and was the son of Cedric Priebe and Mary Martha Priebe (O’Beirne). As an only child, the attentions of his school-teacher mother, engineer father and two Jesuit priest uncles guided young Ric’s studies through Xavier High School and Fordham University. As a member of the Fordham Class of 1952, he played varsity tennis and squash and was inducted into the Fordham Athletics Hall of Fame in 1992. He received his medical degree in 1955 from Weill Cornell Medical College and went on to complete his general surgical residency at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. He then served in the U.S. Air Force as a surgeon for five years, rising to the rank of major. He entered a two-year fellowship in pediatric surgery at Ohio State University. Following this training in pediatric surgery, Priebe returned to practice at Roosevelt Hospital and served on the faculty at Columbia University. After 12 years at Columbia, he became professor and chief of pediatric surgery at Louisiana State Medical Center and Charity

Hospital and director of surgical education at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans, where he founded the pediatric burn unit. The doctor joined the faculty of the department of surgery of Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University in 1982 as professor of surgery and founding chief of pediatric surgery, where he developed a strong patient care service and was recognized as a meticulous surgeon, tireless teacher and a mentor of countless surgical faculty, residents and medical students. He retired in 2007 after 25 years of service and continued after retirement to serve the department of surgery on a part-time basis, contributing to its quality assurance initiatives and educational programs. One of his legacies is the Cedric J. Priebe Jr., M.D., Endowed Pediatric Surgery Lectureship, which supports an annual visiting professor’s presentation centering on a current clinical or research issue in pediatric surgery. During his academic career, Priebe was active in research involving the causes of intestinal ischemia that can occur in premature newborn infants called necrotizing enterocolitis or NEC. His pediatric surgical interests focused

on newborn congenital anomalies, pediatric tumors and childhood trauma. Priebe served on multiple national committees of pediatric surgical societies and published articles on numerous pediatric surgical topics. He served as an editorial consultant for the Journal of Pediatric Surgery, the leading journal in the field. Now, with more than 3,000 outpatient visits and more than 1,000 surgeries annually, the pediatric surgical division Priebe founded is the largest pediatric surgery program in Suffolk County. “Ric desired to have his legacy grow not only through the pediatric surgery lectureship but also through the creation of a dedicated children’s hospital here at Stony Brook — a hospital just for kids that offers every clinical specialty and that would be competitive with similar hospitals throughout the country,” said Dr. Mark A. Talamini, professor and chair of the department of surgery and chief of surgical services at Stony Brook Medicine. “This dream of Ric’s has finally been realized. Stony Brook Children’s Hospital is the first of its kind in Suffolk County, offering the most advanced pediatric specialty care in the region.”

Priebe was the devoted husband of 56 years of the late Cynthia Amelia Priebe (Cali). The two met as teenagers when they lived across the street from each other in Jackson Heights. They married in 1955 and lovingly raised seven children. Priebe leaves behind his children Diane Hultgren (Dave), Janice M. Sladovnik (Fred), Dr. Cedric J. Priebe III (Christina), Catherine M. Botticelli, Michael S. Priebe (Kathy), Dr. Gregory P. Priebe (Cristin), Marta M. Priebe (Ron) and 14 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Although devoted to his surgical career, he enriched the lives of his family by sharing his passion for nature and outdoor adventures, which included many Adirondack vacations with mountain hiking, boating, fishing, water skiing, swimming and tennis, documenting all in photos and videos. He loved classical music, especially opera, his Yankees and travel, particularly to national parks. He lived his faith, showing his love for God and the Catholic Church in service in many ways. He loved to profess his faith in joyful songs of praise as a member of the St. James Church choir. He wore rose-colored glasses, always seeing the world in a positive light, with a sparkle in his blue eyes. His boundless generosity defined him. He was kind and loving, an absolute gentleman.

Exploring the future

With the question, “What does my future entail?” prevalent in their minds, hundreds of Three Village Central School District students and families gathered to participate in an educational interactive career fair Jan. 9. Organized by the Three Village Industry Advisory Board — a new partnership between the Three Village Central School District and local businesses — the program was the first in a series of initiatives designed to bridge the skills gap between education and 21st century employers. More than 40 Long Island businesses were represented during the Ignite Your Career … Discover Your Opportunities career fair. Representatives spoke with attendees about fields such as technology, finance, sports management, engineering, health care, hospitality and much more. To make the fair a meaningful experience for all students, a “career DNA” analysis was provided to students in grades 7–12 to reveal relevant career paths that correspond to their unique personalities. A student’s career DNA guided them toward careers that were spotlighted at the fair. Based on students’ career DNA results, they then had the opportunity to engage with businesses from across Long Island to discover and ignite their passions. “This event will ultimately help Three Village students to identify elective courses that are stepping stones into their areas of interest,” said 3V-IAB coordinator and Ward Melville High School business teacher Ilene Littman. “Businesses that were represented informed students of their personal journeys to enable them to find clarity and direction toward college majors and careers.” The development of the 3V-IAB came about with the onset of Ward Melville’s new workbased learning program called Career Jump

Start. This is an elective course that teaches students career exploration/planning, essential pre-employment skills, job success skills, professionalism and ethics as well as teamwork and leadership. Based on students’ interests and skill set, they are also placed in job shadowing and/or an internship to provide them with real workplace experiences and to help confirm if their desired interests are meeting their expectations prior to embarking on their study in these fields. The IAB was initially formed to create business partners to help support handson student experiences in this program. Participating in the fair were Alternatives for Children, Atlantic Business Systems, Bagel Express, CAMCO Services of NY, CheckMate Industries, Check Point Technologies, CLIMB, Competition Automotive Group, East Setauket Fire Department, Empire National Bank, Equity First Foundation, Events Pro Group, Full Circle Sports Management, Girard Wealth Management Group, Gold Coast Bank, Graywell Equipment, H2M Architects + Engineers, Holiday Inn Express, Ignite Long Island and GSE Dynamics, Journey Martial Arts, K & M Truck and Auto Repair, Marsh Industrial, Medicare Mike, Mike Plumbing, Office of Suffolk County Legislator–District 5, People’s United Bank, PPS Advisors, Primerica, ProSysCon Computer Technologies Inc., Prudential, Realty Connect USA/Ardolino Partners, Rossman Tax Service Inc., Splish Splash Water Park, Stafford Associates Computer Specialist, Stony Brook Child Care, The Marketing Gig, The Meadow Club, The Curry Club, The Meridian Financial Company, TRITEC Building Company Inc., Vision World of Port Jefferson Station and Vision World of Stony Brook.

Letters to the editor

Step back, not forward

As I write this, we are on Day 32 of the Trump Shutdown, 800,000 federal workers are going without pay to indulge this president’s racist temper tantrum, enabled by the Republican Party too afraid to stand up to him. Mitch McConnell seems to have forgotten that Congress is a co-equal branch of government, and that his “Where’s Waldo” act is abdicating his duty to serve the American people. In regards to border security, President Donald Trump went down to McAllen, Texas, almost two weeks ago to make his case for why the wall was necessary. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Trump listened to the mayor of McAllen, Jim Darling, who had this to say about the issue: “In certain locations, a wall or a fence or some deterrent makes sense but certainly not one across the great swath of the border in places where, ecologically, the damage would be much greater than a security benefit. So it’s really a political football, I think. And just saying we’re going to build this great wall across the whole border makes no sense at all.” He went on to say, “It’s border protection. It’s more boots on the ground, more border patrol men, more technology, roads that they need, etc. And I think if you

Editorial

Reopen government to have real discussion

A video of a high school student wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat standing opposite a Native American man on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial went viral this past weekend, quickly creating a social media firestorm. The initial 3 minute, 45 second-clip posted by YouTube user KC Noland has received more than 4.5 million views since it was first posted Jan. 18. It spurred hundreds of thousands of individuals to criticize the teen — and his fellow students for being disrespectful and insulting to elders — going as far as to call for the boys’ expulsion from the Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky while others sent death threats against the pictured student. In response, thousands then rallied back to the teens’ defense, saying they were unfairly judged and the Native American drummer instigating the confrontation. We have to question: How many people thought to stop, pause and reflect on the complex situation before passing personal judgment as to who was in the right and who was wronged? The all-boys catholic school students had traveled to Washington, D.C. that morning to take part in the anti-abortion March for Life rally at the National Mall. The students said they were told to assemble at the Lincoln Memorial by 5:30 p.m. to await their bus home. Native American Nathan Phillips, of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska, is a Vietnam veteran who was attending the Indigenous People’s March simultaneously scheduled to take place at the Lincoln Memorial from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The first video featured Phillips with a handful of other men playing a steady drumbeat to the American Indian Movement song — or AIM song — which has been described as song uniting people with a common cause and reminder to remain calm. A longer 1 hour, 45 minute-video of the incident later posted to YouTube filmed from another angle brought more light to the situation. It showed a third group consisting of four men who were standing at the base of the stairway to the Lincoln Monument, and were preaching about the Bible while making insulting and derogatory remarks to both the Native American protestors and the students. It was when the three groups interacted. Phillips and several other Native American drummers crossed the gap between the students and men that the first incident occurred. Each group was there for a different purpose, from different backgrounds and were of differing races, all coming together in one spot to protest different issues. It’s not lost on us that occurred a few feet from the same spot Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963. Among the less famous lines in King’s speech include, “We must not allow our creative protests to degenerate into physical violence.” At a time when political and racial tensions seem to be rising, we ask anyone who sees a photo, short video clip or quick quote and has the instant urge to react to stop. Take a step back. Evaluate the situation. Consider the context and how people’s different backgrounds may affect how they discern what happened. The answer to who was in the right and who was wronged may not be black and white. Rather, there’s a complex kaleidoscope of facts and perspectives that need to be fully considered. Let us not be so quick to find fault.

ask the average person, instead of saying, do you want a wall or not, but you want enhanced border protection along with some immigration reform, I can’t imagine anybody would say no, we don’t want that because that’s really what’s needed.” I’m fairly certain that if you asked Nancy Pelosi about what Mayor Darling was advocating for, or anyone for that matter, most people would agree that this is a reasonable answer. But that’s not what Donald Trump is proposing. He’s proposing an impractical and expensive wall that won’t solve the problem, that is simply about fulfilling a racist promise to his base. It also doesn’t address illegal immigration, the vast majority of which doesn’t occur at border crossings but rather by people overstaying their visas. We also need to talk about this administration’s competence, or lack thereof. They have continually lied about how they handled the lives of children at the border. Why on Earth should we trust them with billions of dollars for the racist wall? They didn’t spend 94 percent of what they were given last year. Why give them more money when they have greatly mismanaged this issue? And last but not least, we must

address the plight of federal workers. Why are they being held hostage in this argument? Why not simply reopen the government, get these folks back to work and paid, and then have a real discussion about border security, about immigration reform? This is disgusting treatment of our public employees. Concerned citizens should consider donating to a local food pantry, whose resources are being stretched in this Trump-manufactured crisis. If you are acquainted with a worker who is affected by this crisis, offer to make them a meal or buy their groceries. We should also call our representatives to Congress, particularly Congressman Lee Zeldin, who has voted against reopening the government on multiple bills since the new Congress was sworn in. Given that he has both federal workers in his district, as well as constituents who would benefit from meaningful resolution on immigration reform, he is abdicating his duty of serving the needs of constituents to carry water for the racist, irresponsible policies of this president. Our district deserves better representation. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Another view on global warming The overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change is that the Earth is warming and that it is extremely likely that this is due to human activity. This is the position of 97 percent of climate scientists, and this consensus is based on hundreds of studies published in reputable, peer-reviewed scientific journals. This is the very best information we have on this topic, and it is based in fact, not opinion. Organizations that support this view of global warming include the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the National Science Foundation, NOAA, the World Meteorological Organization, World Health Association, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, NASA, the International Council for Science, the American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. A quick Google search will produce a list of many

dozens of organizations around the world that similarly support this position. A layperson’s opinion on global warming should be taken with a grain of salt. When trying to understand global warming, we should not accept arguments that are based on “alternative facts,” which discount scientific data, or which involve distrust of legitimate scientific institutions. When the writer of the Jan. 17 letter in The Village Times Herald [“A personal view of global warming”] states that scientific models of climate change use “fudge factors, which may be manipulated to provide a desired outcome,” he demonstrates either a conspiracy theorist’s mistrust of the scientific community or a fundamental misunderstanding of the scientific process. He is correct in noting that the factors that govern climate change are extremely complex and not completely understood, but this does not change known facts. Many groups and individuals have a vested interest in the denial of global

warming and its causes. Their powerful and well-paid lobbyists work tirelessly to roll back regulations in pursuit of profits. Policies enacted to protect humans, to decrease our carbon footprint and to help lessen our overall destructive impact on the planet have been eradicated under the present administration. Disturbingly, the corporations and people who cry the loudest about “undue burdens” and “onerous taxes” are some of the wealthiest corporations and some of the wealthiest individuals on the planet. We face a great challenge in trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to slow the damage. International cooperation, through such accords as the Paris Climate Agreement, will be crucial. Our president would do well to heed the advice of knowledgeable experts and join with other countries around the world in working to slow the pace of global warming before it’s too late.

NAY: a new acronym suitable for youths and adults

e have abbreviations for laughter, LOL; for humble opinions, IMHO; and for love, ILU. We need shorthand for something that’s “not about you” (NAY). We live complicated lives and can often travel along a superhighway of speeding emotions. When someone we know sees us, we may be reacting to something we are feeling that has D. None nothing to do with of the above them. We may BY DANIEL DUNAIEF have received an email that we got the job, that we won a contest or that our bid for a house was accepted. At the same time, we may not want to share whatever someone else sees in us. It’s why the following conversation

is repeated throughout the world: “What’s up?” “Nothing. I’m good.” “Are you sure?” “Yup, thanks.” So, maybe the conversation doesn’t track with exactly those mundane words, but the idea is the same: it’s NAY. Whatever someone is feeling in the moment, someone else appears who may have nothing to do with the arriving person. The facial expression, body language or vibe someone may have been transmitting has nothing to do with the other person. The NAY phenomenon is a concept middle schools should teach their students. After all, most adults recognize the middle school years as among the toughest and least enjoyable periods in life, as each day is a battle to overcome fatigue, acne, self-conscious moments, and that impossible transition from adorable youth to uncomfortable adolescence. Middle school teachers work in a building that is a simmering cauldron of strongly held emotions that can and do change as rapidly as

shifting winds during a storm. After reminding students not to bully each other, to treat others the way they would like to be treated, to take responsibility for their actions and to stay ahead in their classes, schools should also encourage students to understand that snickering, laughing, eye rolling and head shaking are often NAY. If someone disapproves of something or someone, it’s quite likely that something in that person’s life is bothering him or her and that it has nothing to do with you. When we become parents, we relive so many of the stages of our own lives vicariously, watching our children as they search for new friends, speak to their teachers, pick up a bat to hit a ball or put together the pieces of an instrument. Each step they take is their step, not ours. We can and do help and encourage them, transporting them to rehearsals, suggesting they practice singing arpeggios and providing structure for their lives. Ultimately, however, they reach their goals because of their efforts, their talents and their commitment. Our lives

Our film takes the City of Brotherly Love by storm

ast week, we took our first major film, “One Life to Give,” to an out-oftown showing. An audience of more than 100 history lovers and friends in Philadelphia watched the dramatic story of the friendship of Nathan Hale, Benjamin Tallmadge and the beginning of the Culper Spy Ring. We were impressed by how interested the Philadelphians were in a tale of George Washington’s intelligence service centered in Setauket, Long Island. This is, of course, an authentic narrative of the Revolutionary Between War and of the you and me founding of AmerBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF ica, so I guess we needn’t have been surprised at its broad appeal. In addition, we screened for the first time the

almost completed sequel, “Traitor.” This story picks up some five years later, in 1780, and tells of the capture of John André, British spymaster, by the Patriots, and his fate at the hands of, ironically, Tallmadge. He is now a major in the Continental Army and has been tortured with guilt during the past four years since his Yale buddy, Hale, was caught and hanged as a spy. It was Tallmadge who so earnestly persuaded Hale to join the war effort, and we know of Hale’s end at the hands of the British. Now the shoe is on the other foot. André has been caught with detailed maps of West Point, the fort that the British are lusting to capture so as to have free rein in the Hudson River, dividing New England from the rest of the colonies. The fort is under the command of Patriot general, Benedict Arnold, who is about to become a turncoat, hence his dealings with André. The sequel is, if anything, even better than the original film. And mine is not the only such verdict. Here are some comments emailed to us by the members of the audience after the screening of both films in succession:

• “Thank you so much for including me in the extraordinary ﬁlm screening last night. ... I was not expecting to see something so professional and polished on every level: script, acting, photography, sound, production and, yes, gory makeup! It is also wonderful to see what an incredible family [my grandson, Benji, is the director] and community production this has been — pulling in all sorts of expertise, including [Bev Tyler, historian of the Three Village Historical Society, who accompanied us to Philadelphia]. … Congratulations to Benji [Michael Tessler, Andrew Stavis and the rest of the team]. … Please let them know how much I enjoyed it. And we’ll all be able to say, ‘We knew [them] when … .’” • “Wow, what a great night. The ﬁlms were great, great turnout.” • “What a joy to be there, we really learned from the movie.” • “Wonderful event! You should be proud. The movies were great. I learned a lot. I’m excited to share new stuff with my students.” • “What a treat to attend the viewing ... last night. Thank you for including us.”

have become so linked to those of our children that we can feel the gut-dropping moment when the ball skids behind them into the goal, when they learn their test scores, or when their boyfriend or girlfriend ends a long-term relationship with them. Our role, however, is not to pile our emotions on top of the teetering pile or to insert ourselves into our children’s lives. We have to step back, realize that their incredible successes or momentary setbacks are not about us, and try to ﬁgure out what they might need. Children offer us an incredible opportunity for connection, commitment and love. They are not, however, a way to correct the slights we felt when we were young or a chance to become the winners instead of the losers. When anything or everything our children do becomes about us and not about them, then what they do is no longer for themselves, which deprives them of owning their mistakes and accomplishments. So, next time you’re drawn into their lives, make sure you remember it’s NAY.

• “HUGE congratulations from me! Wow, I really enjoyed the movies.” • “Thanks for including us in the movie viewing. An impressive undertaking with fantastic results!” • “Had a great time at the movies. We were really impressed!” And this from an old friend who has followed Benji’s development: • “Thanks for inviting me to witness [this] fabulous work. ... [Benji’s] enthusiasm of his early years with a camera is super matched by his gifts of eye, mind and devotion to story and characters. It’s a little humbling to think that simply giving him a theater with a screen in his early years [he directed films as a teenager] encouraged him to continue creating worlds in film.” • “I was so impressed with the level of sophistication given that [they] are young filmmaker[s].” As you can tell, it was a successful and fun evening. We look forward to screening the two films, one right after the other, here in late spring. All will be welcome. Please stay tuned.
