Three Village school district moves forward with new programs By AndreA PAldy In the not-so-distant past, budget season meant looking for places to trim. Now, as the Three Village school district looks ahead to the 2017-18 school year, it actually is making plans to add new programs. Though the current projected increase in state aid, according to the governor’s proposal, is very small — $247,000 — Three Village will not need to cut programs to stay within the 3.40 percent cap on the tax levy increase, Jeffrey Carlson, the assistant superintendent of business services, said. Junior high math centers and a certified drug and alcohol counselor are among the additions for the new school year, along with a free district-run prekindergarten that will replace the current SCOPE preschool at Nassakeag Elementary School. However, not everyone is on board with the preschool. Three Village resident and parent Christine Segnini said during last week’s school board meeting that she was perplexed by the district’s decision to use “taxpayer money to support a non-mandated grade like pre-K.” “We are not a district of low socio-economic status,” Segnini said. “We are not a district having our incoming kindergarteners ill-prepared and lacking in preschool experience. I fear that this high-ticket, non-state mandated item will indeed sink your budget.” Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich said that though preschool is not currently mandated, she could see both kindergarten and prekindergarten being mandated in the future. She also

A free prekindergarten class will replace SCOPe preschool at nassakeag elementary School. added that there are students in the district who enter kindergarten without preschool. “We are hopeful that we will be able to catch those children and bring them in so that they will have a level playing field and opportunity to get the early intervention that is critical for them to be successful,” Pedisich said. While the administration has budgeted for five preschool teachers — three would be reassigned from the elementary level due to declining enrollment and two would be hired — the district would only need all five teachers if the program hits capacity at 200 students. With only 53 students signed up so far, Pedisich does not anticipate the need for a lottery. Each teacher will instruct a morning session and an afternoon session with 20 students per class. The decision to hire a certified drug and alcohol counselor was made to address an

“issue of highest importance,” the superintendent said. “I’m not going to be one of the superintendents that says we don’t have a drug problem in Three Village,” she said, noting that drugs are a problem across the country. The district will be prepared to offer help to students and their families, even providing services in the home, if necessary, Pedisich said. The only addition to the administrative staff will be a supervisor of technology and information systems, Pedisich said. With the $3.4 million in Smart Schools Bond Act money that has been awarded to Three Village, the district will introduce one-to-one devices in the junior highs. It means that students in grades 7 through 9 will receive their own notebook computers to use at home and at school. The new technology supervisor will oversee the pilot program, which would eventually expand

to the high school, Pedisich said. Including the possible two new preschool teachers, the district could add a total of 3.05 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions at the elementary level for the coming year. Art would decrease by .15 because of declining enrollment, but .1 FTE would be added to both physical education and health. One FTE will be added for special education, based on individualized education program (IEP) enrollment. Fourth grade chorus will be added, but without an increase of staff, Pedisich said. The secondary schools will see a net increase of 1.15 full-time equivalent positions to cover a new math center during lunch, daily band and orchestra at the junior highs. New electives such as public speaking and local history will be introduced at the junior highs. The high school math department will introduce differential equations to follow multivariable calculus, which students take after completing AP calculus. The budget vote will be on May 16, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. For security reasons, all voting will take place at the secondary schools, Carlson said. Since state election law prohibits screening, it is easier to keep voters contained to polling areas at the secondary schools, he said. Residents who usually vote at W.S. Mount Elementary School will vote at R.C. Murphy Junior High. Those zoned for Arrowhead, Minnesauke and Nassakeag elementary schools will vote at Ward Melville High School. Setauket Elementary School voters will vote at P.J. Gelinas Junior High.

Honorable Postmaster Eric Meier in the lobby of the East Setauket Post Office.

Meet Setauket’s new honorable postmaster By Rita J. Egan Rita@tbRnewspapeRs.com After working for the United States Postal Service for more than 11 years, Eric Meier’s career path has delivered him back to his home, and he couldn’t be happier. In January, local residents welcomed him to their post office as the new honorable postmaster. Meier, who currently resides in Port Jefferson, grew up in South Setauket. He attended Arrowhead Elementary School and R. C. Murphy Junior High School, and graduated from Ward Melville High School in 2000. The postmaster said he enjoys working near St. James Roman Catholic Church in East Setauket, where he was baptized and got married. Plus, it’s just a short drive from his favorite food stop, Se-port Deli. He said it’s also an area where he is not only familiar with the names of businesses and streets, but also families. The 34-year-old said he has held a variety of positions during his 11-year career with the postal service. During the first seven years with the government agency, he was a mail carrier with the Port Jefferson branch and then in 2012 he became a manager trainee at the Greenlawn Post Office. The postmaster said about a year later he transferred to Commack, where he was the customer service supervisor for two years, and then he became officer in charge at the Greenport Post Office. Meier admitted he’s grateful for his short commute these past few weeks, after holding the position at the East End location. The Port Jefferson resident said he was named honorable postmaster in November, but due to the holiday season rush, he didn’t start in the office until the first week

of January. Meier said when he was notified of his new position, he felt nervous because he knew it was a bigger office than others he has worked at. While Meier works in the office 12 to 13 hours a day, five days a week, the management position doesn’t always allow the job to end there. “When you’re assigned postmaster, no matter what happens, you’re responsible,” he said. “It’s a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week responsibility.” His goals include lowering overhead expenses and increasing carrier safety, and he said customer service is also a top priority for him. “I’ll look to make the improvements that we need internally that will help us drive customer service to be even greater than it already is,” Meier said. The new postmaster is confident he’ll achieve these goals with his fellow postal workers at the East Setauket and Setauket locations. “I have a great office — I have really responsible clerks, I have really responsible carriers,” Meier said. The new postmaster said he will extend invitations to the public to tour the facilities, and he plans to get out in the community to attend passport fairs and offer presentations at Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, which he said is one of his favorite places in the area. He also has a promise for residents. “I will ensure them that the Setauket branch will never close, because I know that was a concern in the past,” he said. “We love our branch. The fact that it’s a historic site, we take great honor in that. We love being a pivotal part of the community.”

history close at hand

Remembering Setauket’s 20th century Long Island historian By Beverly C. tyler Kate Wheeler Strong was born in Setauket March 21, 1879. She was the daughter of Judge Selah Strong and a descendant of Revolutionary War spy Anna Smith Strong, as well as of Setauket settler William “Tangier” Smith. As Dr. Percy Bailey wrote in October, 1977, “As a historian, ‘Miss Kate’ has probably done more than any other in popularizing and humanizing the history of this beautiful Long Island which she loved.” Kate Strong wrote local history articles for the Long Island Forum from 1939 through 1976. Most of these articles she had published in small booklets which she sold or gave away to friends over the years. These

booklets, called “True Tales,” have provided a special look into the past for many generations of Three Village residents. Kate Strong died at her home The Cedars on Strong’s Neck July 22, 1977. In 1992, William B. Minuse (1908-2002) wrote about Kate Strong in the 1992 Three Village Historian: “Miss Kate Wheeler Strong was one of the most remarkable persons I have ever known ... Miss Kate loved young people. For many years, she told stories to groups of children at the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library. When the Stony Brook School opened, she organized a stamp club there. “Her chief interest over the years was local and family history ... She wrote extensively, most of her articles being based on family papers and information gathered from older residents ... Even after she lost her sight she persisted. We will always be in her debt for the wonderful anecdotes and the invaluable accounts she left us of our Long Island communities and people. “From time to time she gave me artifacts for the Three Village Historical Society. Among them were a pair of snow shoes her father had used during the blizzard of ‘88. “Toward the end of her life her neighbors celebrated each of her birthdays, and I was always invited. I shall always remember her most fondly. She was kind and generous.” After Kate Strong’s death, her personal papers and her family papers going back to her second-great-grandfather were donated to the Three Village Historical Society. The Strong

Included in the collection are deeds, diaries, 224 handwritten pages of court cases by State Supreme Court Justice Selah Strong, letters about their daily lives, politics, travels, farm matters, business records, school records, payments, receipts, Setauket Presbyterian Church records and weather bureau records. There are approximately 2,250 photographs of families, friends, relatives, places and scenes. In the 1980s and ‘90s, I was the editor for yearly publications of The Three Village His-

torian: Journal of the Three Village Historical Society. The issue of 1992 included nine of Kate Wheeler Strong’s “True Tales,” and a complete listing of the 38 years of “True Tales” booklets she produced between 1940 and 1976. This 24-page publication is still available for $1 at the Three Village Historical Society History Center and Gift Shop. Beverly C. Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the Three Village Historical Society, 93 North Country Road, Setauket.

Ward Melville gown controversy continues at BOE meeting By AndrEA PAldy

To some, tradition is at stake. To others, the issue is about inclusion and sensitivity. Yet another group wonders, why the fuss about a graduation gown? And, that sums up the furor that continues following an announcement of a new, gender-neutral, green gown and gold stole for Ward Melville High School seniors. Proposed as a symbol of inclusion and sensitivity, the decision has instead ignited division. Two weeks ago, the news that female graduates would no longer march in gold and their male counterparts green, produced a flurry of activity on social media, petitions and protests. Last week’s school board meeting offered yet another venue for people to express opposition and support about the topic, bringing out speaker after speaker. “I could not care less what color gown my daughter wears,” said parent Christine Gacovino, whose daughter graduates in June. The mother said she was most upset by what she saw as the underlying sentiment of those opposed to the change. The reaction indicated “that we have a serious problem with sensitivity in this district,” she said.“Sensitivity and acceptance are so important.” Senior Robert Brando said that for a decision that was meant to unite and include, he feels “anything but included.” It is “more than just the color of the cloth,” said Brandon Cea, a senior and student representative to the board. “The issue has come to represent tradition, the rights of the LGTBQ community and the perceived lack of communication between students and administration,” Cea said in a prepared statement. Ward Melville High School principal Alan Baum — who did not attend Wednesday’s meeting — laid out his rationale for the change in a March 2 letter: “In addition to creating a unified senior class, it is our hope that creating a unifying color scheme will eliminate the anxiety that is caused by forcing a young adult to wear a gown that labels them differently from how they identify.” The prevailing sentiment of parents and students speaking against the new gowns was that they were not “anti-anything.” They simply wanted to honor tradition and democracy, they said. As well, there should have been more discussion with students and the community about the change, they said. In the wake of the protests, Cea told the school board that the student leadership had met to “establish a new tradition, a tradition where we are Patriots.” Ward Melville students, he said, are proposing the establishment of a student council and a schedule of town hall meetings, so students can express opinions and ask questions about school policy. “Together, we need to understand the issues on both sides and not allow meaningful conversation to be lost,” Cea said. Speaking on behalf of the school board, President William Connors acknowledged that while Baum’s intentions were good, his “rollout” could have been improved through better communication and community involvement. “The process for these types of decisions will be addressed and solidified to assure that this type of incident does not occur again,” Connors said. Baum has arranged for female students to retake their senior pictures in the green gowns they will wear for graduation. The photography company has agreed to do the pictures without charging the students or the district. Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich was conciliatory Wednesday. “It disheartens me to see our school district divided,” she said. “I never want to see that. Our students are precious to us. They are so incredibly valued. “I’m sorry that the students didn’t have a voice. They should have, absolutely, but now is the time for this district to move forward. I’m imploring you to come together and move forward, because that’s what we need to do.”

Writing acclaim for R.C. Murphy students Several original writings created by students at the Three Village Central School District’s R.C. Murphy Junior High School have earned high and prestigious honors during this year’s regional Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. Two scholars earned Gold Key awards signifying their placement among the top 2-3 percent in New York State. The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards is one of the nation’s largest, longest running, most prestigious literary arts programs that honors students in grades 7-12 for their original works. According to their website, the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards recognizes student achievement in the visual and literary arts in 29 categories, including editorial cartoon,

poetry, graphic design, fashion, science fiction, video game design and more. The works created by the Gold Key winners will now be forwarded to the national level, where they will be considered for Gold Medal awards. National medalists will be announced in the early spring. Gold Key honorees are ninth-grader Karen Xie – Flash Fiction, “Broken Time” and eighthgrader Adena Shahzadi - Poetry, “Fanaa.” Silver Key honorees are ninth-grader Julia Match - Flash Fiction, “Unreality”; ninth grader Ally Chun - Flash Fiction, “Stay Inside the Frame”; eighth-grader Adena Shahzadi – Poetry, “A Bloody Bouquet of Roses” and “Candles of Death”; and seventh-grader Claire Yang – Flash Fiction, “Used.”

Seniors awarded for academic achievements Thirteen seniors from Ward Melville High School have been named finalists in the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented seniors were honored as semifinalists earlier this year based on the results of their Preliminary SATs, a test that serves as an initial screening of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year, and by meeting published program entry and

participation requirements. They now have the opportunity to continue for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth about $33 million. Congratulations to the following students: Sophia Abanov, Albert Liu, Kirti Nath, Henry Nelson, Sachin Patnaik, Nikita Podobedov, Isabelle Scott, Annabel Shewan, Michelle Sun, Kavya Lakshmi Tangella, Ray Wei, Edward Yan and Adora Zhang.

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s regional manager Anthony DeGrotta welcomes Monica Balsan, Patricia Shaffer and Agnes Bush to the Stony Brook office.

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s welcomes new realtors Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty’s Stony Brook office recently gained three agents from Homes Across Long Island. Homes Across Long Island was a mother-daughter, three-agent operation founded in 1976 by Agnes Bush of Yaphank and later joined by daughters Monica Balsan of Setauket and Patricia Shaffer of Port Jefferson Station. All three are successful veteran agents firmly established with clients and customers from Smithtown east to the North Fork and the Hamptons. “We were looking to expand our business, and particularly to be able to provide our sellers with marketing services that

just weren’t available to us as a small company,” Balsan said. “We wanted to stand behind our customers with a strong local brand and international exposure, and by joining forces with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty we can now offer world-class marketing.” Bush launched the family business, opening her first real estate agency in 1976 in Queens. Shaffer, in addition to being a licensed real estate salesperson, served as president of the Women’s Council of Realtors, Long Island Chapter in 2015 and 2016 and was also a director of the Long Island Board of Realtors and the New York State Association of Realtors.

Sixth-grader Julia Greek, on left, holds up a championship certificate. Above, she’s with her AAU Lightning team after it went undefeated and won the championship.

Young Stony Brook basketball player is at an elite level By DeSirée KeeGAn desiree@tbrnewspapers.com A sixth-grader from Stony Brook is making a name for herself on the basketball court. Julia Greek, the W.S. Mount Elementary 11-year-old can be seen shooting hoops whenever she gets a chance. She dribbles around the house, on the way home from the bus stop, outside of her Stony Brook home and on her Catholic Youth Organization and Amateur Athletic Union teams. All of that practice is certainly paying off. “I saw her play for the first time in the fourth grade and I was immediately impressed with her skill level, passion for the game and knowledge,” AAU Director Rob Pavinelli said. “She loves the game beyond the prize. It’s not just about winning and scoring. She was well beyond her years in all aspects of the game.” As a member of the CYO team, she helped the girls win the championship last year after going undefeated. She scored the most points in the AAU circuit for her age group as a fifth-grader, and was named one of the top point guards in all of Long Island, voted on by the AAU coaches and referees. She earned a scholarship two years in a row for free entrance to a Stony Brook basketball camp when she was 9 years old, after winning knockout, dribbling and free-throw shooting contests. She finished her last AAU season as the leading scorer with 179 points — the next closest to her had 60. She also was a finalist in the Mother Teresa New York State Council Knights of Columbus free-throw shooting contest out of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. She’s competing this weekend to try to make a third straight appearence. To Julia, her accomplishments are an added bonus, because she enjoys playing the game so much.

“I love the way that my teammates play with me, and how I can get them open and pass them the ball,” she said. “I’ve always loved to play. I love dribbling and shooting.” Both are strong parts of her game out on the court. “I was immediately struck by her,” Julia’s AAU Lightning coach from Northport, Alex Gayer, said. “Right off the bat it was clear to see what different level she was playing at compared to virtually every other kid we come across. She does it all for us. She brings the ball up, breaks the press, she’s our best 3-point shooter and we have a talented group of girls.” He said she was a major contributor to the team’s 20-0 record two seasons ago. “I consider her and one other as the two best players I’ve seen on Long Island,” Gayer said. “What I take away most is she has such a passion for the game. She lives it. She’s there with a ball in her hand every day. She’s been very coachable. She never gives me a hard time on the court. She has continued to develop. She’s a leader on the team and on the court. Everyone looks up to her and when we need a big basket oftentimes she’s the one that provides it for us. She’s really just a pleasure to work with.” Gayer called Julia the quintessential gym rat, despite the fact that she’s already better than most girls her age. “You can see she had this natural ability,” Julia’s father Paul Greek said. “As she got older we joined the Boys & Girls club and everyone was surprised by how good she was, even at 7 years old. She had such

a knack for dribbling and shooting the basketball. Parents would come up to me after games asking me how old she was and telling me she’s unbelievable. She hasn’t even peaked. It just seems like she keeps getting better.” Julia said she enjoys playing every chance she gets, and said she’s done a lot of work with her father, sneaking onto whatever court they can find to get in some practice time. “My dad is very encouraging,” she said. “Sometimes he needs to work me hard, but I like that because I want to get better.” She said she’s also taken a lot out of playing for two teams with different styles. “Both teams are different, but I love the way they both operate,” she said. “I feel that my CYO team is more passing and trying to get open, and my AAU team is more driving to the basket and shooting. Every time I practice, I — Rob Pavinelli practice every side and angle of the hoop, and I love 3-pointers and that’s what I mostly practice. It’s my best shot.” Julia has had the opportunity to practice with the Ward Melville girls’ varsity team, and she looks up to the girls. “They teach me things that I don’t do,” she said, adding she looks up to sophomore Lauren Hansen and senior Taylor Tripptree. “[Hansen] practices extremely hard. I’ve seen her play and practice and I want to be like that. She’s amazing, she can hit from anywhere and drive by people. I know she’s working hard to do that so I’m trying to do that, too.”

‘She loves the game beyond the prize. It’s not just about winning and scoring. She was well beyond her years in all aspects of the game.’

Hansen said she sees a lot of talent in Julia despite her young age. “She plays fearlessly,” she said. “In Julia I see a special talent that comes around every once in a while, and I truly believe if she works hard and buys into the process she can be great.” Tripptree echoed her teammate. “She already has developed serious skills,” Tripptree said. “During camps she always had to be put in the older groups because she’s so advanced for her age.” The two said being looked up to by Julia reassures them that they’re doing the right things in working hard and setting an example for the younger talents as proof of what determination can lead to. “Being looked at as a role model is truly an amazing honor and a blessing, because growing up I looked to older players to model my game off of, so to have younger players like Julia look up to me is incredibly humbling,” Hansen said. “With that said, I try to make sure I’m always pushing myself beyond my limits so players coming up know it takes a lot of work and sacrifice, and it’s definitely not easy to get where you want to be, but you can never be satisfied. Always be hungry.” Gayer said he sees Julia’s talents taking her far. “I think she would be one of the best shooters on a varsity team right now,” he said. “And she’s only in sixth grade.” Julia said her goal once she gets some team practice in after seventh grade at R.C. Murphy Jr. High School next year is to make the varsity team in eighth grade. “I feel like by the time I’m in eighth grade I’ll be better than I am now, and I want to focus on playing with different people and learning,” she said. “I’m working really hard now and trying to work as hard as I can to get there.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Participant at politician training workshop

Letters to the editor

This is not grandpa’s immigration

Photo by Victoria Espinoza

Talking the talk vs. walking the walk One thing members of both political parties can agree on is the 2016 presidential election birthed a new generation of activism in our country. While healthy conversations and debates can be beneficial to stimulate new ideas, the surge of ugly disputes playing out in front of town hall meetings and on social media does nothing but draw attention to the actions of the protesters instead of the issues at hand. That’s why our editorial staff supports endeavors like the workshop in Huntington this past weekend attended by more than 100 Long Islanders, designed to train those who wish to become politicians in the future. The meeting had people from various backgrounds and age groups ready to take on a more active role in forming the policies that shape our society. As our electorate becomes more diverse so should our elected officials, and events like these should certainly help in that effort. Our editorial staff finds it encouraging such workshops exist and that so many people took advantage of this one. While numerous people say how they think things should be done, most don’t put words into action. Of course, we also realize not everyone is destined to become a politician. Hopefully workshops like the one in Huntington will inspire those who feel they are not cut out for the job to at least become a more active citizen. No matter what one’s calling is in life, politician or not, we can all have a say in what goes on in Washington — conduct candidate research, vote, contact representatives. This also comes into play with local governments where it’s as simple as attending a town hall meeting and voicing concerns to a policymaker. When it comes to making our country even greater, it’s the responsibility of all citizens and those on both ends of the political spectrum. Our hope is we’ll see more workshops like the one that took place in Huntington this past weekend and more people making their ideas heard in a positive way.

Stephanie Werner, in her latest leftist diatribe (“No tolerance for alternative facts,” Village Times Herald, March 2) offers a template for aspiring angry letter writers. All the “usual suspect” Marxist method talking points are covered, ad nauseam, once again. For purpose of brevity, here’s a quick deconstruction, Starting off with Fox News and “lies” in the first paragraph. Not being a Fox fan, I still wonder why libs continue to assail Fox when they dominate TV channels 2 through 13 in every market, as well as all of cable. I get my news from AM radio. Besides, am I supposed to believe unhinged fops at CNN, NBC or the Daily Beast? Trump’s Cabinet is “highly unqualified,” compared to whom? Werner then stoops to criticize Trump’s “comb over.” Real relevance, folks. Werner mentions Kellyanne Conway and the “Bowling Green Massacre.” True, that did not happen. It was in the works and

thwarted by the FBI at the last moment. Werner goes on to mention toleration and celebration of our “differences.” Free speech applies only to the left. Republicans and Conservatives are regularly shouted down or barred from speaking at former bastions of independent thought, like NYU and Berkeley. How many cops were murdered or assaulted in 2016 alone? Baltimore, Ferguson, Dallas, Brentwood and Oakland, for starters. All are living laboratories of Democrat carrot-and-stick broken promises, along with unfettered importation of gangsters, drug dealers and terrorists. Werner goes on to weep about “immigrants” and the “country they built.” American blacks and European whites built this country, period — not Cambodians, Somalis, Dominicans or Pakistanis. Got it? The Hart-Celler Act of 1965 paved the way for the mess we now face, with millions and millions admitted to the United States

since then. This is not grandpa’s immigration, when people came to Ellis Island to become Americans, learn English, and respect the culture and customs of their new land. In her final segment, Werner expresses hope that our allies will “stick with us through this debacle.” Hey, they stuck with us after massacres in France, after we sent singersongwriter James Taylor to make things right. Germany, Britain and Sweden are also paying the price for wholesale admission of radical Islamists. Our allies are thrilled with President Trump. So is Wall Street, the military and all those who voted for him. It’s not about Trump. Had Rubio, Bush, Kasich or Mother Teresa won on the GOP ticket, the vilification and character assassination from the indoctrinated “progressives” would be no less shameful, no less brutal.

President Trump’s unholy alliance In July 2016, candidate Donald Trump, said he hoped Russian intelligence services had successfully hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, and encouraged them to publish what they had stolen, urging a foreign adversary to conduct cyber espionage against a former secretary of state. Six months later, the director of national intelligence, reflecting the views of the FBI, CIA and NSA, concluded that Russia took “unprecedented” efforts to help Trump win the presidential election. Russia hacked DNC email servers and John Podesta’s email account, supplied those emails to WikiLeaks, and used Russian government funded media to plant fabricated anti-Clinton stories and pro-Trump propaganda. Trump’s campaign and transition team members regularly communicated with Russian officials and intelligence officers, including Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and many lied in denying they had done so: National Security Adviser Michael Flynn (forced to resign); Attorney General Jeff Sessions (forced to recuse);

Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort (forced to resign); former Trump foreign policy advisers Carter Page and J.D. Gordon; longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone; and son-in-law and trusted adviser Jared Kushner. Following the election, the Russian deputy foreign minister bragged of Russian special access with the Trump campaign, while Chief of Staff Reince Preibus pleaded with the FBI to deny that such contacts occurred. Beyond electoral success, what explains Trump’s extraordinary affinity with Russia and Vladimir Putin? While Russian oligarchs, allied with Putin, have heavily invested in Trump businesses, the extent of Trump’s Russian financial ties remains unknown since he refuses to release his tax returns. Ominously, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson who, while ExxonMobil CEO, consummated a multibillion-dollar Artic drilling deal with Russia, is now urging the lifting of sanctions which threaten that deal.

The motivation may simply be unbounded admiration for Putin, his despotic practices and authoritarian policies. Praising Putin as “very smart,” Trump has no problem overlooking Putin’s annexation of Crimea, invasion of the Ukraine, butchery in Syria and the ruthless suppression of dissent in Russia, all while supporting Putin’s greatest goal: weakening of American support of NATO. In defending Putin’s suspected murdering of political opponents and journalists, Trump said, “He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have in this country,” adding, “I think our country does plenty of killing also.” Even the most ardent Trump supporter must acknowledge the necessity of a special prosecutor to investigate this unholy alliance between the president and Russia.

OpiniOn American humor is the best medicine

was making a supermarket list the other day. It had the usual items: eggs, milk, cereal and yogurt. Then it occurred to me that we could use a box of low-fat, high-fiber humor. Yes, I know Nestlé, Keebler and Procter & Gamble don’t make boxes of such guffaw and giggleinducing goods. Sure, they have cute animals who endorse their products, offering us a pleasant image while we shovel the latest sugarfilled calorie bomb into our mouths, feeding addictions By Daniel Dunaief that satisfy our taste buds even if they push out our stomachs. But what we need these days, particularly as we confront our differences

D. None of the above

regularly, is a shared laugh. Americans may be innovators, we may have significant military might and we may be a beacon of democracy, most of the time, but we also have a long and comforting history of humor. Back when my father was terminally ill many years ago, I recall sitting with him in a living room with dark wallpaper, watching “The Court Jester” with Danny Kaye. As Kaye was struggling to remember where the pellet with the poison was, my father broke into a smile, laughing through a scene he’d watched dozens of times. Laughter, as the saying goes, is the best medicine. After all, actor Tom Hanks was in the TV show “Bosom Buddies” and the game show “Make Me Laugh.” He took serious roles later and has become the go-to guy for dramas like “Bridge of Spies,” but he attracted attention in his early years by dressing as a woman to live in a cheaper apartment building. He was even the star of the forgettable comedy “Bachelor Party.”

Sure, these days “Saturday Night Live” is making some people laugh. Even White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer appreciated Melissa McCarthy’s anger-ridden impersonation of him. Now, President Trump doesn’t seem to be doing much laughing. I suppose it’s tough to laugh on Twitter, unless you’re fond of the LOL or that emoji with the hands on the face. How much coverage would a presidential tweet about an intentional act from Kellyanne Conway get? Remember back in the 1980s when, in the midst of the Cold War, Ronald Reagan would assure us that we could sleep well at night because he clearly did. If he wasn’t especially worried, and he wasn’t looking harried the way his predecessor did, surely we could sleep well? After all, resting and relaxing were a part of life, even during the Cold War. He smiled, he waved and he had everything under control, offering an easy laugh during tough times. Trump has reason to smile. No matter what The New York Times,

CNN or other news organizations he hates write about him, the stock market loves his laissez-faire policies toward business and regulations. But Trump doesn’t seem pleased or to be riding a wave of good feelings and good humor. He needs to laugh with us as much as we need to laugh with each other. Of course, he needs to do his job, take his responsibilities seriously and do what he can to deliver on his promises. After all, even the world-is-coming-to-anend New York Times would have to write about more jobs and greater prosperity for America. Maybe, along the way, though, we could all use a good group giggle. The TV programmers understood the value of a guffaw long ago. They put talk show hosts on late at night because that’s when we need to chuckle the most, before we go to bed. Seinfeld, the cast of “Friends,” and many of our former acquaintances from sitcoms offer a comforting shield against the worries, anxieties and frowns that pester us during the day.

to enable him at least to see better. “You’d be howling, too, if you couldn’t see or hear,” they argue. Of course they have a point. But I am afraid, afraid of what Teddy’s reaction to the anesthetic might be, afraid to send him to a place of unfamiliarity, afraid to subject him to invasive procedure. To further complicate the picture, he has had a seizure. We saw the whole thing. It happened only 10 minutes after the last of our dinner company had left a few weeks ago. He was laying down on his side in his familiar station near the front door when suddenly his legs started flailing at the air, he began panting and saliva started to bubble from his mouth. All we could do was look on in horror for the short time that it lasted. When it was over he became uncharacteristically aggressive for a couple of minutes. Then his breathing slowly returned to normal, and he started walking from room to room. After perhaps 15 more minutes, while we watched with concern, he sauntered over to his food

bowl as if nothing had happened and began eating all his dinner, finishing up with a noisy slug of water. Finally he spun around, plopped down and looked at us as if to say, “Why are you following me?” We called the vet, who seemed much more sanguine than we were and assured us that this sometimes happens to pets, although it had not happened to any of our preceding three dogs. She put him on meds to prevent another seizure. What followed was a trial-and-error course of medication that alternately left Teddy so wobbly that he could barely step off the porch and caused him to sleep constantly, or wound him up so that he howled intermittently through the night, needing reassurance each time that we were there. It was like having a newborn baby in the house demanding multiple feedings. We’ve finally gotten the right medicines to the right level and life is almost back to normal, but the questions remain: What to do next, and when to do it?

A pet owner’s quandary

ging isn’t for sissies. We’ve all heard that line before and it also applies to our pets, our cats and dogs, our horses and so forth. Teddy is our only pet, a golden retriever with a square head, a pug nose, expressive brown eyes and an affable disposition. He has lived with us since he was 8 weeks, and in June he will turn 12. It’s hard for us to see him getting old. He is totally deaf now and only knows we are there when we touch him. By Leah S. Dunaief Then he will be startled as he whips his head around to see us and slowly wags his tail as if to say, “Oh, I know you, I’m safe with you.” He has serious cataracts that interfere with

his vision, and he is beginning to bump into the corners of furniture. He’s gone white around his muzzle, although the changeover from light blond isn’t so dramatic. And while he still can find his way back to the front door after he’s gone out, he occasionally wanders aimlessly inside the house. Sometimes he just sits and stares at a wall. Yet most of the time, he is his usual self, putting his head in each of our laps in turn as we sit in the living room and nuzzling us with love. Worst of all, for no reason we can discern, he will begin a chorus of howling. It’s a curious chain of sounds, starting at a high pitch and dropping down until it is wolverine, coming from deep in his throat. He throws his head back when he howls, much like the wolves I saw in the Oregon Zoo in Portland. Maybe it’s the equivalent of a primordial scream, or maybe he is communing with his ancestors, telling them he is on his way. It brings us to tears. My sons tell me we should have cataract surgery for him on one eye
