Village Three Village budget passes, incumbents retain seats By AndreA PAldy Three Village residents have overwhelmingly approved the school district’s proposed $204.4 million budget for the coming year. At the polls Tuesday, 1,708 voted for the budget, while 719 voted against. Incumbents Dr. Jeffrey Kerman, Irene Gische and Inger Germano, who all ran unopposed, will retain their seats. The 2017-18 budget, a 2.77 percent increase over the previous year, covers academic enhancements, staffing changes and maintenance projects at the district’s buildings. The most notable additions

are the free prekindergarten program for four-year-olds, a drug and alcohol counselor to work with students and their families, and a supervisor of technology and information systems to help oversee next year’s initiative to provide all junior high students with notebook computers. The three board trustees, each going into a third three-year term, acknowledged the challenges of the cap on the tax levy and the controversy over Common Core in the past few years, but look to the future with optimism. Kerman has said that in the next three years he wants to “continue to have our district advance and to educate all of our students — the entire range, from special education students to Regeneron Science Talent Search finalists.” “All in all,” Gische said at a previous meeting, “the district is thriving in spite of the tax cap.” She cited the addition of the free preschool and the drug and alcohol counselor as continued signs of progress, and said she will continue to support the prekindergarten and additional program and curriculum enhancements. Germano also cited the preschool — as well as the Three Village Academy, which opened in 2013 — as recent district successes and pointed out that the Academy is a source of revenue through tuition from non-district students. She will “continue

This year, because of safety concerns, voting took place at the three secondary schools instead of the elementary schools. Though voter turnout was lower than in past years, district officials interpreted it as a sign of residents’ satisfaction. The absence of additional propositions, like

last year’s for transportation, and an uncontested school board election, may also have contributed to the lower turnout, they said. However, with 70 percent voting in favor of the budget, the message from residents was still clear. “The community has shown their approval and support and we couldn’t be more pleased,” Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich said.

Standing with the oppressed There has been a cry, an uprising of people of faith and organizations to provide sanctuary for our brothers and sisters in our communities and to resist the calls for deportation and walls. The sanctuary movement recognizes that no person is illegal. When there is oppression, our faiths call us to stand with the oppressed and to do the moral, just thing. Scripture says, “Welcome the Stranger,” but we call for more because immigrants are not strangers. They are mothers and fathers and children, friends and neighbors, entrepreneurs, workers, leaders, volunteers, farmworkers and landscapers in our community. Providing sanctuary lifts up the prophetic story and shows the impact of our broken immigration system. Standing with immigrants also challenges the lies about them. All immigrants, with and without documentation, make enormous contributions to everyone in this country. If you are retired and receiving Social Security benefits, or in the group of baby boomers that is retiring each year, you are benefiting from the contributions of undocumented workers. These workers pay Social Security taxes, to the tune of about $12 billion/year, according to Stephen Goss, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration. These funds will not be used by these workers but strengthen the fund for documented workers. According to The Atlantic Monthly, September 2016 issue, undocumented people pay all kinds of taxes — sales taxes and property taxes (which help fund public schools) — and income taxes when they work on the books. About 3 million undocumented cash employees pay income taxes, using the Individual Tax Identification Number program. In 2010, these workers paid over $870 million in income taxes. So this is what undocumented workers contribute now. Imagine what would happen if they were given legal status? What about the work they do? According to the New York Times, Feb. 9, 2017, issue, approximately 70 percent of all farmworkers in the U.S. are undocumented. A move to deport these workers en masse would destroy agricultural production. More concretely, think tanks, the Bipartisan Policy Center and the American Action Forum, discussed in the Newsweek, Aug. 9, 2015, issue, estimate that mass deportation would cost an average of $10,700 per person, take 20 years at a total cost of between $420 and $620 billion, shrink the U.S. labor force by 6.4 percent over those 20 years and decrease the U.S. gross domestic product by $1.6 trillion. What if we had a meaningful path to residence and citizenship? That would “add a cumulative $1.2 trillion to the GDP over a decade, increase the earnings of all Americans by $625 billion and create an average of 145,000 new jobs each year.” As a community we must seek compassion

for the sojourner and safety for those who feel vulnerable. Rescuing slaves by the Underground Railroad and protecting Jews from the Nazis was once considered illegal; that is why it is so important for us to be on the right side of history today. Black, brown, white, gay, straight, transgender, documented, undocumented; in the end it’s all about how we love our neighbor.

Business owner seeks to make changes in local government By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com Inspiration comes from various situations, and for Cindy Morris, 38, political turmoil in our nation and her displeasure with local government has moved her to create change right in her own town. On March 21, Morris announced via social media that she was planning to run for Brookhaven town clerk, a position currently held by Donna Lent. After being screened by the Democratic Party, the divorced mother of two will accept the nomination for town clerk at the Brookhaven Democratic convention May 24. Morris has become a strong presence at local political rallies supporting women’s rights and environmental protections. She is also among many who challenged U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) to hold public town halls, by participating in rallies outside his office as well as sending letters and making calls to his staff members. The founder of the activist group Time2Care Long Island said her decision is part of “an overarching plan to bring progressive activists into the political field and help them become more active.” “The constituencies are not necessarily being listened to by their representatives, and as long as that is true, we need to change the representatives,” Morris said in an interview. “And that starts at the local level.” When attending political rallies, especially in Washington D.C., one of the messages that has been repeated is to become more involved in politics and run for office, she said. “I thought there’s no way I’m running for office,” she said. “That wasn’t even on my radar, and as I kept learning more and seeing more, I realized the only solution was for people to run.” Early this winter, she attended workshops for those interested in running for political office, given by the Brookhaven Town

She also believes those — Cindy Morris en residents as well as elected officials such as who work shouldn’t need to take time off from their jobs to come down Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valto Town Hall.

Jonathan Kornreich from Stony Brook attended a kick-off campaign party for Morris at C’est Cheese in Port Jefferson April 27. The investment manager said the party was wellattended by many he didn’t recognize from past political events. He believes Morris is part of a political awakening. “She’s someone who seems to be really caught up in the passion of current events and so I think she represents something that is very different,” Kornreich said. When it comes to a new political awakening, Morris agrees. “I think what we’re experiencing right now is one of the most vocal and educated electorates in generations, and when you are educated on the issues, and you are able to think about them as individual people, it’s very hard to believe in some of what’s been happening right now,” Morris said. “As time goes on, I think that education will change peoples’ votes.”

cops Law enforcement seeks public’s Occupied home burglarized help in 2013 case

in Port Jefferson

By rita J. egan rita@tBrnewspaper.com Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and Suffolk County Police Major Case Unit detectives are asking the public for their help in identifying and locating a hit-and-run driver in an incident the occurred in 2013. The driver of the vehicle struck and killed Joseph Santiago, 47, as he was walking westbound on Ridgeway Avenue in Setauket at 1:20 a.m. Aug. 23, 2013. A physician’s assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner pronounced Santiago dead at the scene. According to a statement from Crime Stoppers, it’s believed the car was a white Hyundai sedan and could be anywhere from a 1999 model to one from 2006. It is possible that there was damage to the front-end passenger side as well as to the undercarriage, according to police. Tammy Brothers, the victim’s sister, said she hopes releasing the Crime Stoppers alert again will be good for the case, especially after talking to detectives and reviewing the investigation. “Everything that could possibly be looked at was looked at to the best of their ability earlier on, much earlier on,” Brothers said. “Now they’re pretty much waiting for some kind of break.” Brothers said that evidence left at the scene gave detectives the lead to the type of car. She is hoping that even if no one witnessed the accident that maybe an auto body repair shop or junkyard owner or employee may have seen the vehicle. She believes that no piece of evidence is too small. “If this was your family, you would want

The victim’s sister said he didn’t have a spouse or children but left behind seven siblings. Brothers said they all feel they need and can do more as a family to continue searching for the hit-and-run driver. “We just think everyone can do better — the police, the family, the community — can all do better in bringing forth justice,” she said. “Someone knows something.” Suffolk County Crime Stoppers offers a cash award up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest. Anyone with information about the crime can call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS (8477) and all calls will be kept confidential.

South Setauket man seriously injured in Bay Shore

SBU administration reacts to campus demonstration By riTA J. egAn riTA@TBrnewSPAPerS.coM Stony Brook University students and faculty members were not happy May 10 and their displeasure had nothing to do with final exams. When word started traveling around campus about potential cuts to school programs, hundreds at SBU staged sit-ins outside the offices of the school’s provost, Michael Bernstein, and the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Sacha Kopp. The demonstration, called March for Humanities, was organized by the Graduate Student Employee Union after a May 4 email to faculty members and students from Kopp. In the email, the dean said after assessing enrollment trends and faculty resources in academic degree programs, recommendations were given that the comparative literature; cinema and cultural studies; and theatre arts programs be suspended. “Suspending admission means that current students in these programs will be able to continue their pursuit of and complete these majors, but no new students will be admitted into the majors,” he said. Kopp also said in the email that the programs were just recommendations and no official decisions was made, and classes for the 2017-18 academic year are already scheduled by the registrar, so the courses will continue as planned, with approximately the same capacities as the 2016-17 academic year. Another email to faculty members, not students, said a few departments would be

Demonstrators, above, at the May 10 March for Humanities at Stony Brook University protested potential cuts to humanities programs. combined. On the list were the department of European languages, literatures and cultures; the department of Hispanic languages and literature; and the department of cultural studies and comparative literature. Jordan Helin, a PhD candidate in history and a department mobilizer in the history department for GSEU, attended the march. He said in an email the demonstration was high in energy yet a peaceful one. He said members of the Hispanic languages department came with pots, pans and spoons and utilized a form of protest called a “cacerolazo,” which is popular in Latin American countries. Helin said the demonstrators see Kopp as the direct decision maker when it comes to the department cuts and mergers. The PhD candidate said he participated because he

feels there are other options aside from cutting academic programs. “That, I guess, is the main reason I participated — to push back against administrative priorities that would see the university run like a business,” he said. “Supposedly there’s a budget deficit they just can’t fill any other way…how about fewer vanity building projects and branding initiatives or cutting the administrative bloat.” Helin said there were many signs at the protest and those that used the phrase “#FarBehind” stood out to him the most. He said it’s a play on the “Far Beyond” branding of the university — part of a marketing tactic that bothers him and others. “They have money to pay advertising firms to come up with lame slogans and put up ban-

ners all over campus, apparently,” he said. Caroline Parker, a sophomore majoring in journalism and French, said she participated because she sees the tremendous value in the humanities programs. She said she also felt decisions are being made without consulting the campus community. “We need the thoughtful, analytical, globally and cross-culturally aware people that comparative literature, Hispanic studies and other humanities programs create,” she said. “Powerful research is done in these classrooms, not just in our labs and hospitals.” After the march, Bernstein released a statement via email. “No plans have been discussed which would in any way negatively impact the resources available for language instruction and language-based majors at the undergraduate or masters level,” Bernstein said. “In fact, any discussions going on have been with the intent of strengthening those programs. The proposal is related only to the doctoral program[s] and a decision about them has not yet been made.” Kopp in a May 15 email reiterated there have been no final decisions regarding cuts. “We are looking at all aspects of the university in an extremely tough budget environment,” the dean said. “That said, no final decisions have been made about any program changes at this time. Should changes be made to programmatic offerings, the university ensures that all current students will be able to complete the course of study in which they are enrolled.”

history close at hand

East Setauket tavern owner turns spy in Revolutionary times By Beverly Tyler During the Revolutionary War, British forces occupied Long Island for more than seven years. Austin Roe was the member of the Setauket spies most visible to the British and Loyalists in this area. Roe ran a tavern in East Setauket where food and drink were served and where travelers could stay overnight on their way to or from the south or east end of Long Island. The original location of the tavern, which was moved in 1936, was along what is now Route 25A, just west of the south end of Bayview Avenue. The location is marked by a state historic site sign, which details a few of the most important facts about Roe and his tavern. Captain Roe used his position as a tavern owner to justify his trips to Manhattan. While in New York City, Roe gathered the supplies he needed for the tavern as well as the intelligence that had to be relayed to General George Washington. The spy network in New York coordinated their efforts through Robert Townsend (code name Samuel Culper Junior). We will probably never know all the spies who contributed information on British movements, but we do know that Townsend was the principle contact in New York for most of the period between June 1779 and 1783. During portions

of that time, Abraham Woodhull [Samuel Culper Senior] took over from Townsend, as he had before recruiting Townsend. The Setauket spies organized a route for the secret messages to make their way from New York City to Setauket and across the Sound to Connecticut and on to Washington’s headquarters in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This spy network supplied Washington with vital information concerning British troop movements, fortifications and intentions in New York and the surrounding area during the perilous war years from 1778 to 1783. The sensational intelligence transmitted by the spies helped lead to the capture of Major John Andre, who was hung as a spy on orders of Washington, and the discovery of Benedict Arnold’s plot to turn over West Point to the British. In another instance the Culper Spy Ring supplied Washington with information, which enabled him to prevent the British from attacking the French fleet and army, newly arrived in Newport, Rhode Island. Roe, born in 1748, was 30 years old when he first agreed to be a part of the Setauket spies. He made the 120-mile round trip on horseback, usually 10 to 12 hours each way. Supplies for his tavern and materials purchased for friends and neighbors in Setauket were sent by sloop or schooner through Long

Island Sound to Setauket. The roads Roe traveled, North Country, Middle Country or South Country Road, were heavily traveled by British and Tory troops and by highwaymen. Roe would receive information, usually directly from Culper Junior, secreted in a bundle of notepaper and written in code or invisible ink. He would ride back to Setauket and pass the information to Abraham Woodhull. Roe made numerous trips to New York and his work as a courier spy was never discovered. In April, 1790, Roe had the privilege to meet Washington when he spent the night of April 22 at the Roe Tavern on his four day trip to Long Island to honor the Patriot spies who helped him win the Revolutionary War. Washington wrote in his diary, after leaving Coram, “thence to Setakit (sic) 7 miles more to the House of Capt. Roe, which is tolerably dect. with obliging people in it.” According to the story passed down, Roe was so excited to be hosting the then president, he fell off his horse on his ride home and broke his leg. Roe moved to Patchogue in 1798 where he founded the Roe Hotel. He died there in 1830 at the age of 81. The complete story of the Culper Spy Ring, SPIES! Exhibit, is displayed at the Three Village Historical Society’s History Center every

Winning reflections

Ward Melville High School junior Odeya Rosenband was named the second runner-up in Stony Brook University’s Department of Africana Studies 2017 inaugural essay competition: “What do civil rights mean to me in the 21st century?” For her entry, Odeya shared a time in her personal life where she felt her rights

were infringed. In her essay, she wove in references from current news and illustrated her hope for change as well as the importance of living without fear of who one is in order to enjoy the fruits of democracy. Odeya was recognized at a ceremony at Stony Brook University where she read her essay and received her award.

Math scholars advance

Two junior high school math teams from the Three Village Central School District earned first and second place during this year’s Suffolk County MoMathlon held at Brookhaven National Laboratory and have qualified to compete in the tournament of champions at the National Museum of Mathematics in New York City. MoMath, together with supporters Con Edison and Brookhaven National Laboratory, provide New York children the opportunity every March and April to participate in several middle school math tournaments throughout the state, culminating in a thrilling tournament of champions.

R.C.Murphy and Paul J. Gelinas junior high schools each had a team compete against over 25 other schools in Suffolk County with the top two schools advancing to the Tournament of Champions. Gelinas’ team members Ivan Ge, Alexander Lin, Robin Xiong, Nancy Zhong and Julia Zhu took the first-place prize. Murphy’s team members Matthew Chen, Animesh Ghose, Neil Mehta, Jessica Liao and Claire Yang took the second-place prize. Claire Yang also was the seventh-grade individual winner of the tournament with Alexander Lin, Robin Xiong and Ivan Ge taking second, third and fourth at the Suffolk County MoMathlon.

Finding justice

Students from the P.J. Gelinas Junior High School “Justice - You and the Law” club recently participated in the 34th annual Western Suffolk BOCES mock trial tournament this school year. The team, comprised of seventh- and eighth-graders, made a splash in their first competition, winning both of their

trials against experienced programs. This year’s problem centered on a civil negligence suit regarding proper concussion protocol in sports. To help prepare for their first competition season, the district’s highly successful high school mock trial team members mentored the junior high students before the big day.

Patriots lacrosse teams go undefeated in league play By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Ward Melville is keeping its rich and lengthy tradition of athletic success alive. This season, the Patriots varsity lacrosse teams went undefeated against league opponents, finishing at 14-0 in Division I. “We all support and root for each other,” senior Andrew Lockhart said. “Both teams are trying to continue the Ward Melville tradition of leaving the jersey better than we found it.” Both teams admitted they have unfinished business moving into the postseason. The boys, finishing 14-2 overall, made it to the state championship last year, falling to Victor 7-5. The Patriots are hoping this season they can repeat the success of the 2013 state championship-winning group. “Coming up short last season was heartbreaking for all of us,” said Lockhart, who finished the regular season with 23 goals and 14 assists. “After being so close to a state title last year, it makes the team want to win it all that much more.”

Teammate Dylan Pallonetti, a sophomore who finished with 33 goals and 15 assists, said the high of the undefeated season has worn off as the team prepares for the playoffs. “We’ve been watching lots of film and learning from our mistakes,” he said. “If we play as a unit we can be a dangerous team. Ward Melville is known around the nation and every year whether it’s boys or girls we’re making a long run in the playoffs. The coaches are great and it’s a great organization to be a part of.” The girls ended the regular season 16-0, coming up with big wins against other top teams like Middle Country, Smithtown West and Northport. The Patriots finished last season 11-7 overall, losing to Middle Country and Smithtown West in the last two games of the season, before getting knocked out in the Class A quarterfinals by Northport. “Our season ended sooner than we wanted it to, and we felt that there was more to our team than we were able to show,” said junior Shannon Brazier, who led the team this season with 32 goals and 12 assists. “So we definitely had motivation to fuel our season. Playoffs is a totally different game — every team is going to come out stronger and determined to win, and we just need to be ready for that.” Despite a strong regular season, junior Kate Mulham agreed with Brazier — the Patriots aren’t underestimating anyone. “Ward Melville has such a competitive atmosphere that pushes every student to his or her fullest potential, and the success of the program speaks to the work ethic among all student-athletes,” said Mulham, who finished with 27 goals. “To know that all of our hard work has started to pay off is so rewarding.” Brazier said because the team had a small graduating class, the bond the players created and the familiarity coaches had with their player, helped the team take the next step.

said. “Anything can happen on any given day, Mulham echoed her teammate’s sentiment. “I really feel that we are successful be- but if we focus on playing our game I have cause we share such an indescribable bond,” faith in myself and my teammates to get the job done. Our connection is she said. “Before teamso strong because we have mates, we are best friends, so many sibling pairs.” and I think that is the key She said the success to any successful team. I shows the hard work and have been playing with sacrifice both teams have the same group since first made to benefit the prograde, so we all know gram. And with a target on each other’s strengths and each team’s back, they’re weaknesses.” bracing themselves for Senior Hannah Lorenpersistent push back in the zen, who also added 27 games ahead. goals, said that the com“We have a huge chip fort level and trust each on our shoulder — lots of girl has in one another is teams are going to want to also attributed to the girls’ after us and [try to] successes.

Pallonetti said. “We made it far with a perfect “With the skill set and personnel on this record, but that’s not enough for us. We’re team, I see great things coming our way,” she hungry, and we want it all.”

‘Ward Melville has such a competitive atmosphere that pushes every student to his or her fullest potential, and the success of the program speaks to the work ethic among all student-athletes.’

Letters to the editor

The need for Democrats to reflect and learn

Stock photo

Thumbs up for green zones We’re optimistic about the future of our local environment, especially when we discover elected officials are doing their part to create a greener Long Island. Times Beacon Record was impressed to hear that at a May 9 meeting, the Huntington Town board members approved a resolution to explore the benefits of replacing gas-fueled landscaping equipment with battery-operated units at Heckscher Park and Huntington Town Hall. If the changes are implemented, the locations would be considered green zones, which means the areas are maintained with zero-emission lawn care equipment. With assessments by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer showing that outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans, any decrease in emissions in our air is a step in the right direction. We also praise the Huntington residents who for months have been vocal about the town going green. Many cited gas-fueled equipment can contribute to hearing loss and asthma, and using the battery-operated equivalents in addition to decreasing emissions would also reduce noise. The town will seek advice by retaining an American Green Zone Alliance study on Huntington’s existing landscaping practices, and after their findings, AGZA will recommend the appropriate equipment and provide instruction in use, care and maintenance for town employees. We feel the partnership with a leader in a nationwide effort to help communities address noise and air pollution issues demonstrates the priority the town has given to protecting our environment. We hope the prospect of green zones in Huntington will inspire other towns to follow suit. Residents also should be motivated by the program to use or request landscapers to use cordless electrical and manual equipment in place of gas-fueled units. Every bit of change can help improve our environment, and with summer just around the corner, there’s no time like the present to start living greener.

It was refreshing to read William Schaefer quote a member of the Nixon administration in his letter to the editor “Defining deviance downward” in the April 27 issue of The Village Times Herald. Daniel Patrick Moynihan was not afraid to speak the truth, including the negative impact of children being born out of wedlock, his condemnation of U.N. Resolution 3,379 declaring Zionism a form of racism, and the moral depravity of partial birth abortion (“I think this is just too close to infanticide.”) Perhaps if there were more Democrats today like Moynihan, the Democratic Party would be in better shape. As I wrote in this paper (“The greater of two evils”) in the Nov. 3 issue, Americans voted for Trump in spite of his misogynist and bigoted comments, not because of them. They voted for a conservative justice to replace Antonin Scalia, the Keystone pipeline and enforce-

ment of our immigration laws. They voted against disastrous trade deals, the corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton and Obama’s “red line” in Syria. In spite of the relentless criticism of Trump’s first 100 days in the mainstream media, a recent Washington Post-ABC poll showed that if the election were held today, Trump would win both the electoral and popular vote. In his last address to the Congressional Black Caucus before the election, President Obama warned, “All of the progress that the country has made over the last eight years was on the line,” and he would consider it an “insult to my legacy” if Mrs. Clinton lost. During his eight years as President, Democratic Senate seats fell from 55 to 46, Democratic House seats fell from 256 to 194, and Democratic governorships fell from 28 to 16; Obama presided over his party’s loss of 1,042 state

and federal elected positions. Ohio Democratic U.S. Representative Tom Ryan was Moynihan-like when he challenged Nancy Pelosi for House Minority Leader, when he said, “We’re not a national party at this point. We have some support on the coasts, but we’ve lost the support of middle America, and we’ve got to make some changes. So, I’m pulling the fire alarm here, because the house is on fire.” His Democratic House colleagues rewarded his honesty by re-electing Pelosi 134 to 63. I suspect Daniel Patrick Moynihan would have agreed with Tom Ryan. A litany of Trump’s shortcomings will not resurrect the Democratic Party; they need to reflect on their losses and ask themselves why they have lost most of the country and how they need to change.

Being held accountable for health care vote Thank you U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin for voting “yes” for Trumpcare in the House of Representatives. This bill slashes insurance subsidies, makes drastic cuts to Medicaid, guts pre-existing condition protection, defunds Planned Parenthood and makes insurance

less comprehensive. The bill was passed without holding any hearings or giving the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office time to do an analysis. Thank you for stripping health insurance from at least 24 million Americans. Thank you

because you will be held to your unconscionable vote when Suffolk County voters go to the polls in 2018 and vote against Trumpcare and the Republicans who voted for it. The voters will not forget.

Aimed at Robert Mercer not Renaissance The writer of the letter “In defense of Renaissance Technologies” in the May 4 issue of The Village Times Herald incorrectly states that the target of the North Country Peace Group’s March 24 march and rally in East Setauket was Renaissance Technologies. To confirm that, one need only refer to the headline of the news article that the paper published: “Protest against Setauket investor and Trump donor swarms 25A.” Yes, the reporter had it right: the NCPG demonstration was aimed at Robert Mercer, at his workplace, which happens to be Renaissance Technologies. There have been similar protests outside Mr. Mercer’s Head of the Harbor mansion, organized by the NCPG and other groups. Why Mercer? The single largest

donor to the Trump campaign and contributor to many “alt-right” causes, Mr. Mercer is using his considerable wealth to help politicians get elected. What does he get in return? One would assume a good deal of influence over the government and the social and economic direction of our country. Legal? Yes, sadly, due to the 2010 “Citizens United” Supreme Court ruling, which allows individuals and corporations to donate unlimited funds to political campaigns. Ethical? In the best interest of most Americans, or of true representative democracy itself? That depends on whether you share Mr. Mercer’s vision for America. Mr. Mercer’s money has been linked to ultra-conservative and Tea Party candidates, super PACs and right-wing nonprofits and or-

ganizations such as the Heartland Institute, a climate change denial think tank. He also is part-owner of Breitbart News, which has provided a platform for white supremacist, misogynist, xenophobic and racist commentators. If the recipients of a man’s sizable donations are a key to how that man thinks, and what he wants, then Robert Mercer’s agenda for America is deeply concerning. Do you want the nation that his money is helping to implement? If you don’t, like the dozens of concerned citizens who marched with the NCPG on March 24, the last thing you need to do is follow the advice of the letter writer and “just sit back.”

OpiniOn Riding in cars with kids

he best way to get to know your kids, especially if they are teenagers, is to drive them and their friends, teammates and classmates. If your daughter texts you from school and asks, “Hey, Mom and/or Dad, can one of you drive three of my friends around?” don’t hesitate. The answer, of course, can’t be what you might think. You can’t say, “Yes! Of course, that’d be great.” You’ve got to play it cool, By Daniel Dunaief because the moment she catches on to the fact that you actually have ears and are listening to the conversation in the car, you’re done. Yes, I know the temptation, after a long day, is to pick up only the kid that you’re responsible for, the

D. None of the above

one whose clothing you washed for the 10th time this week and whose teeth are straightening because you brought her to the orthodontist for yet another visit. However, the rewards from just a tad more effort more than tip the scales in favor of the few extra miles. The key to making this supersecret spy mission work is not to let them use their phones, to take routes where cell reception is poor or, somehow, to encourage conversation. If they’re all sitting in the back seat, texting other people or showing each other pictures on one of the social networks, then the effort, time and assault on your nose aren’t worth it. Seriously, anyone who has driven a group of teenagers around after a two-hour practice should keep a container of something that smells more tolerable nearby. When it’s too cold to stick my head out the window or when the smell becomes overwhelming, I have become a shallow mouth breather. But, again, if the conversation goes in the right direction, it’s worth it.

Put four or five or seven, if you can fit them, kids in a car, and you might get some high entertainment. If you’re quiet enough, you might learn a few things about school or your kids. “So, Sheila is so ridiculous,” Allison recently declared to my daughter. “She only talks about herself and her feelings. Have you ever noticed that? She turns every conversation into a story about herself. I mean, the other day, she was telling me about her brother, and her story about her brother isn’t nearly as interesting as my story.” At that point, Allison then talked about her brother and herself for the next five minutes. Tempted as I was to ask about the story Sheila told about her brother, so I could compare the stream of stories about Sheila’s brother to Allison’s, I knew better. The boys also enter the realm of the car social laboratory experiment after a game or practice. “Hey, what’d you think about the movie in French?”

Wait, they watched a movie in French? Again, you can’t ask any questions or everyone retreats to their phones or remembers that the car isn’t driving itself. You have to be inconspicuous or you will be relegated to the penalty box of listening to one-word answers from your suddenly sullen sports star. “You did well in that presentation in English?” A presentation? English? Quiet! Quiet! You have to breathe normally and act like you’re giving all of your attention to the road. Once the car empties and it’s just your son or daughter, you can ask specific questions. You might want to mix up some of the details, just so it doesn’t seem like you were listening carefully. “So, you had a presentation in history?” “No, Dad, that was in English,” your son will correct. Then he may share details that otherwise would never have made it past a stringent teenage filter.

paying customer, are astonishing. Yet here is another story, closer to home and less violent, of insensitivity to customers. I was riding the Long Island Rail Road home from Penn Station on a weekday afternoon, expecting the usual change at Huntington for Port Jefferson, when an announcement over the public address system advised us that the connecting train was arriving across the tracks on the south side of the station. We were told to use the stairs to cross over if we wanted to continue east. It seemed a bit of an inconvenience until we walked down the platform to the stairway and found the entrance blocked. Turning around to find the next closest stairway over the tracks, I saw that some of the passengers behind me were using walkers or canes. As they saw the locked gate to the stairs, they became frantic. The next crossover was a half block down the platform. Did you ever witness people with walkers and canes trying to run? The sight is pathetic. And the rest of us didn’t look too graceful, huffing and puffing our way to try and catch

the waiting train. The stairs were steep to the top of the overpass, and the passages on the south side leading back down to the platform and to the parking lot were confusing. We ran by an elevator, and some of us pressed the button, but it took what seemed like forever to arrive. Once inside, we were confronted with different buttons that were labeled, each with an ambiguous letter. We pushed the wrong button and wound up on the ground floor. Breathless at this point, we rushed back up the stairs to the platform just in time to see the train pulling away. Those with the walkers and canes, as well as those of us too slow to navigate in time, perhaps a dozen in total, were left to wait the hour and a half until the next train. The moans were loud. There is, of course, pressure on the engineers and conductors to keep to a schedule. A regular report grades the on-time performance of the LIRR, and there is much disgruntlement when the trains are habitually late. So there was reason for the train to pull away before all the passengers had crossed

the tracks. But where was the caring? Some of the passengers were lame. Some were old. Some were just out of shape for a sudden dash up, around and down the granite stairways. It would have taken perhaps another two minutes for the rest of the group to reach the train. Where was the respect for the paying customer? Perhaps this sort of disregard is inevitable in a monopolistic situation. There is no other train line to use. There aren’t that many different airlines left in our country after the assorted mergers. Or is it something else, something having to do with our society as a whole? Yes, in many ways we have become more tolerant over the past century, more accepting of differences. We have also become more relaxed, less formal in our dealings with each other — and not in a negative way. But there are some aspects of previous generations that are sadly scarce. I could name a few: politeness, honor, civility, patience, respect. We rush around a lot, but I’m not sure we always get where we want to be. And if we don’t rush, we get left behind.

No respect on public transportation

veryone knows about the doctor who was forcibly removed from his place on a United Airlines plane when no one volunteered to give up seats to accommodate a flight crew traveling to another airport. Fortunately for the doctor, another passenger videoed the event, and the video went viral. The public outrage that followed is prompting congressional hearings, new By Leah S. Dunaief rules within the airline industry and new laws regarding removal by police of an unwilling passenger. I think it is fair to say that the reaction to the incident is one of total disbelief that such an act could happen here in the United States. The callousness and utter disregard for the safety of the man, incidentally a
