Hadassah Suffolk celebrates member’s 100th birthday with fundraiser BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

musicians who performed there from time to time. Always one to keep herself busy, Claire Baer had finished her college education when she lived in Maryland, and when she moved to the Three Village area, she looked for things to do, according to her daughter. Claire Baer joined Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook, a house of worship where she remains a member and, in turn, became involved with Hadassah. She started the local SeaPort chapter of the organization, eventually becoming chapter president. When she joined the national board, Ivy Baer said her mother would travel to Manhattan to the main headquarters of Hadassah regularly. “She’d go down to the train station at the crack of dawn several days a week, and she would take the train into the city,” Ivy Baer said. During the 20 years she was on the national board, Claire Baer made nearly 30 trips to Israel, according to her daughter. One of the programs she worked on involved planning month-long trips to Israel for women and children. “Sometimes people would ask her what she did, and she would say, ‘I’m a professional volunteer,’” Ivy Baer said. The daughter said her mother enjoyed helping the organization and Israel because it was something she believed in, and she felt she was making a difference. Shapiro said the members of Hadassah Suffolk wished they could plan a large celebration for Baer’s 100th birthday, but they will keep it low-key due to COVID-19 by having just a few members present her with a certificate to mark her 100th birthday. “If it was ‘our old normal,’ we would have had a very large and festive luncheon in Claire’s honor, showering her with well-deserved

accolades,” Shapiro said. Ivy Baer said the entire family including grandson-in-law Daniel and great-grandson Paul plan to be with Claire to celebrate her birthday. To donate visit tinyurl.com/clairebaerbday

There are many ways to celebrate a milestone birthday. When it comes to Three Village resident Claire Baer’s 100th birthday in June, Hadassah Suffolk based in Commack has decided to mark the special occasion in a unique way. JoAnne Shapiro, president of Hadassah Suffolk, said the organization is raising funds in Baer’s honor to buy several “Bear Hugger” Patient Warming Systems for Hadassah Hospital in Israel. Shapiro said Hadassah Suffolk has more than 3,000 members, and it has been spreading the word via postcards and social media. “We kicked the fundraiser off last November because we wanted to give people the opportunity to recognize Claire well before her actual birthday,” she said Shapiro added that enough money has been raised so far to purchase two warming systems. Hadassah Suffolk has raised more than $5,500 of the $6,600 goal as of June 1. The warming system helps patients maintain their temperature before, during and after surgery, and Shapiro said they picked the piece of medical equipment due to Baer’s last name. The two hospitals in Jerusalem which will benefit from the fundraiser were built by Hadassah Medical Organization. Shapiro described Baer as “a vastly influential leader in the Hadassah community.” The soon-to-be centenarian was president of Hadassah Suffolk from 1979 to 1982. She served on the national board from 1982 to 2003 and then went on to become president of Hadassah Suffolk’s Sea-Port chapter. Baer’s daughter Ivy thought the fundraiser was a lovely gesture to celebrate her mother’s 100th birthday on June 18. She said her mother, who grew up in the Bronx, became a Baer when she married her husband, Paul, in 1950. They celebrated 62 years of marriage before his passing at the age of 90. According to their daughter, the Baers became Three Village residents when they moved to Stony Brook in 1972. Paul Baer’s job brought them to the area when he accepted a position at Stony Brook University’s dental school. Ivy Baer said the family lived in Maryland, and her father worked at the National Institutes of Health. After her dad retired from NIH, he accepted a job at SBU’s dental school, excited about the opportunity to teach at the new school. He would go on to be the founding chair of the Department of Periodontology. “My parents really enjoyed being part of the university community,” she said. “There was just this whole group of really interesting people who came there around that time.” She said her parents would attend the Bach festival that SBU’s Department of Music would organize, and the couple would host

Three Village budget passed by a slim margin, voters discuss decisions BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As votes were being counted in the Three Village Central School District for budget approval and board of education trustees on the night of May 17, the budget race was a close one. At the end of the night, the 2022-23 budget of $224 million passed by 66 votes, 2,584-2,518. The new budget is $3.8 million more than last year’s contingency budget of $220.2 million, reflecting a 1.72% increase. The proposed tax levy is $165 million. Last year, although 57.7% of taxpayers voted in favor of a $222.6 million budget — 2,2861,677 — it failed to pass. The proposed 2021-22 budget pierced the 1.37% cap on the tax levy increase, necessitating a supermajority approval, or 60% of the vote. TBR News Media asked readers how they voted on May 17 regarding the 2022-23 TVCSD budget.

Those who approved

Ian Farber, of East Setauket, and a member of the district’s budget advisory committee that was formed earlier this year, said he voted “yes.” He said he believes the district “made a good faith effort to increase the efficiency and efficacy of how our tax dollars are utilized.” He added he believed the committee helped facilitate that. “While there is more work to be done, voting ‘no’ would not yield any positive outcomes,” he said. “Some in our community think that we operated this past year on contingency with no impact to the students and the instructional staff. While we fared better than other districts on contingency, some classes couldn’t be expanded and teachers that were previously dedicated to a specific school had to float between multiple buildings. The district was also prevented from paying back money into the reserves, putting us all at an increased fiscal risk.” Farber said he felt if the district operated on a contingency budget for years in a row, it would erode the district’s educational institution. Shoshana Hershkowitz, of South Setauket, also voted “yes,” saying that “the difference in taxes between the proposed budget and the contingency budget is minimal, and I think our schools have done an excellent job through several challenging years.” She said addressing rising costs and making other changes is beyond the district level. “If we want to address rising costs on Long Island, the way to do it is by looking at issues including the lack of affordable housing, health care benefits being tied to employment, and the fact that Long Island has over 120 school districts, which increases both cost and segregation,” she said. “Defunding our public schools, as some have advocated for, isn’t the way to reduce the cost of living in our region.” She added that passing the New York Health Act would mean public sector benefits would no longer be part of school budgets.

Anne Chimelis, of Setauket, said this year as well as last she encouraged people to vote “yes.” She said having taught and lived in other school districts, she has witnessed when budgets are voted down, and she feels it doesn’t help the students. Voting a budget down is shortsighted, Chimelis said, and there are other ways to address it. “The reality is your tax bill doesn’t really change that much when you vote down a budget, and things only get worse for your kids, for the district as a whole,” she said. “So, that’s not really the way to effect change in my opinion. There are many other ways to effect change.” She applauded the formation of the budget advisory committee this year. “I think having administrators, teachers, other people from the school community be part of that next year is a great idea, and I’m sure that in working together they can continue to find ways to spend money more efficiently without just summarily voting down a budget,” she said. Chimelis said she wasn’t pleased that 4.5 nursing positions were being eliminated with the 2022-23 budget. The district’s decision was stated that the nurses were no longer needed due to the wake of declining COVID-19 infection rates. However, she said she wouldn’t vote down the budget for one issue. For Farber, he would like the STEM program to be brought back to the elementary schools and expanded into STEAM to incorporate the arts. “No budget is perfect, and 3V still has room to improve,” Farber said, despite his “yes” vote. He added, “Continuing and expanding upon collaboration is how we improve.”

A ‘no’ vote

David McKinnon, who ran for school board in 2020 and 2021, was also a member of the budget advisory committee, which he said he believes made the process more transparent to the community but was not set up to constrain costs. The East Setauket resident said he was disturbed that the teachers union, New York State United Teachers, injects themselves into local school district elections. According to NYSUT’s website, the “statewide union has a political fundraising arm called VOTE-COPE.” The nonpartisan fund was established to coordinate “the voluntary contributions of members and supports NYSUTendorsed candidates and campaign committees that are pro-public-education and pro-labor.” McKinnon said, while he supports teachers and other workers, the campaign means more money is spent on advocating for residents to vote “yes” than “no.” NYSUT did not return requests for the amount of funds invested in the TVCSD election. He said he believes “most people in the district want accountability on education and on spending” and that it would be best for residents’ decisions to be unaffected by a lobbyist group. “Ideally decisions surrounding the schools would be made by the local community without external interference,” he said. McKinnon added he believes with NYSUT getting involved that teachers may have a louder

voice, when “there are multiple stakeholders,” students, parents, teachers, administrators and staff. He added he believes that the opinions of students and parents should be heard and balanced with the needs of teachers and administrators. “Our school district is currently funded at close to the highest level in the nation on a cost per pupil basis, taking account of economies of scale related to school size,” he said. “Given this already very high level of funding, the fiscally responsible position is to keep the cost per pupil reasonably flat in terms of real dollars.” McKinnon said with declining enrollment over more than a decade in the district there should be a zero budget increase. “Instead, the budget has increased substantially over the last decade, except for last year,” he said. Barbara Rosati, represents parents and educators through the group Three Village Parents Alliance, which has a Facebook page, a mailing list of nearly 200 residents and a website. She is also married to McKinnon. She said she voted “no,” and believes that just because she and others did so, it doesn’t mean they are unsupportive of the district or education. Rosati said she and others believe the district’s core academic programs, especially at the elementary level, can be updated and improved. While she knows parents who have supplemented their children’s education through out-of-school tutoring or enrichment programs, she said it can be expensive and, for children, cumbersome. She and other parents have also started a conversation with the district about “excessively early school start times,” and the TVPA group members are also concerned with growing property taxes, which they feel are due to excessive administrative costs. “Yet, none of the tax increase on this year’s budget is aimed at addressing them,” she said. “After advocating for these issues, and closely following the district’s financial decisions, it would seem that this does not reflect a lack of funds but rather a lack of political will.” She added, “Last year’s 0% tax increase budget could support all the existing programs, COVIDrequired extra instructional and noninstructional personnel, and also the addition of a few narrow

interest programs.” Marlo Dombroff, of East Setauket, also voted “no,” and she said she felt recommendations that the budget advisory committee made were not followed. “When I evaluated the reasons for why the budget was to increase again, I couldn’t find a clear explanation of how the additional funds would directly benefit the students,” she said. “The budget continues to increase each year and it is almost imperceptible where those monies are going. As a parent, I don’t see any improvements in education. I had a child graduate last year who went through K-12, and I have a child now who is in 10th grade, who has been here also since kindergarten.” As someone who has attended all board of education meetings, she feels changes and improvements suggested by parents have not been “put into place, regardless of heavy parent lobbying.” Dombroff said examples of needed improvements are to the elementary math classes and starting foreign language teaching in the elementary schools.

District’s statement

TVCSD Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich, who is retiring at the end of the school year, said in a statement the district was “thankful to the community for its participation in this year’s annual budget vote.” “We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with all our stakeholders to ensure that the district maintains the robust and supportive educational program it provides for all students,” she said. “In recent years, specifically during the past few years of the pandemic, we were able to sustain and build upon our practices to meet this goal.” Pedisich listed the district bringing students back to school full time and in person during the 2020-21 academic year and implementing “initiatives designed to support learners across all levels — from the youngest to our seniors — all while reducing costs through the consolidation of administrative positions and other operational efficiencies” among the district’s accomplishments in meeting its goals.

have shone brightly in multiple areas.” Collectively, the Class of 2022 will begin their medical careers in some 20 specialty practices. Nearly one-third of the class will be entering primary care practices, such as Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. Outside of primary care, Emergency Medicine had the most placements with 15. The graduates landed residency positions all over New York State and in 17 other states. Thirtyone graduates will remain at Stony Brook and practice in numerous specialties. Joshua McGough, is the first RSOM graduate to complete the threeyear MD program and join Emergency Medicine at Stony Brook as an intern. Other graduates starting residencies at Stony Brook include Marilyn Day (Obstetrics-Gynecology), William Nunn (Pediatrics) and Rachel Spector (Psychiatry). Dr. Anne Schuchat, the retired principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, delivered the Convocation Address. “All of you are on the verge of beginning your careers at an extraordinary time in medicine, in which we are all learning and doing around COVID-19 at the same time, teachers and students alike,” Schuchat said. “It has been an unusual and challenging experience you have had as students. Go forward into your careers. Be optimistic, be grateful, be humble, and be yourselves.”

This July 132 new physicians will start their residency training at leading health care institutions in New York State and around the country. The graduates from the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University’s Class of 2022 celebrated their convocation on May 18, the 48th in the school’s history. More than 20% of the class will be staying at Stony Brook Medicine for their residencies, according to a press release from SBM. The need for physicians remains strong nationwide, largely because of the continued growth of an aging population. The two-year COVID-19 pandemic has also raised awareness of the importance of primary care practitioners, infectious disease specialists, emergency care doctors, and the need to build a strong pool of physicians nationwide — the new RSOM graduates add to this pool of practicing physicians. “All of you have found spots in extremely competitive, prestigious programs both at Stony Brook an at other top programs,” said Dr. William Wertheim, interim dean of the RSOM at the convocation ceremony. “This reflects the high regard you have in the medical community at large, because of who you are and where you have done your medical education. Some of you have demonstrated a commitment to the community in which we live; some of you to the global community. And in all, you

On the agenda for the Town of Brookhaven Planning Board June 6 meeting is an eight-lot preliminary subdivision with cul-de-sac and drainage basin located at the southeast corner of Pond Path and Upper Sheep Pasture Road in East Setauket. A decision on the application submitted by Anthony Martino, president of Winmar Homes based in Ronkonkoma, was tabled at the planning board’s May 16 meeting. The approximately 6 1/2 acre property, zoned as residential, is one that the Three Village Civic Association has been keeping an eye on. At a meeting earlier this year, members were given an update on the parcel. According to the civic’s land use chair, Herb Mones, the wish is that a “more responsible site development can be submitted.” Known locally as the Selleck property, Mones said it is the last local farm south of Route 25A. On the property is a 1920s

farmhouse that the civic wants protected and not demolished. Members also hope that the newly built homes will be clustered, leaving more than 2 acres to be preserved. Last year it was determined that the property was sufficient for nine lots according to L.K. McLean Associates of Brookhaven. The Brookhaven Highway Department, in a letter to the planning division last year, made several recommendations, including curbing and sidewalks on Pond Path and Upper Sheep Pasture Road and removing/replacing the existing curb on Pond Path at the intersection. Last November, representatives from the Three Village Civic Association met with developers. According to the civic, the parcel, which is near Nassakeag Elementary School and the town-owned Merritt-Hawkins House, was once part of the Merritt-Hawkins farmland. The Town of Brookhaven Planning Board meeting can be viewed on the town’s website, www.brookhavenny.gov, or attended in person. The meeting begins at 4 p.m. on June 6.

Hostile architecture

The blurring line between public and private space

‘Our technologies are going to have values built into them. We have to actively decide the values that we want because otherwise, we have these other values creeping in that we may not even notice.’

BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM During our investigation of seating shortages at Port Jefferson train station, TBR News Media took a closer look at the emerging field of hostile architecture, a design movement that employs subtle and often harmful means to alter public spaces. Robert Rosenberger, associate professor in the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is an expert on the subject of hostile design. He said through architecture, urban designers today can manipulate the environment to ward off certain populations. “Hostile architecture refers to when objects in public spaces are designed in a way to control those spaces and push out or control the behavior of already vulnerable groups,” he said in a phone interview. “Benches redesigned to deter people from sleeping on them is one of the main examples of hostile architecture, and we mainly see that done through the addition of armrests.” The issue of hostile architecture was first observed on social media, according to Rosenberger. However, the issue gained traction among journalists and academics is now being explored as its own discipline. Professor Setha Low is director of The Public Space Research Group at The Graduate Center, City University of New York. She researches hostile design and works with design students to envision public spaces that can be more user-friendly and inclusive. Hostile architecture is not only disruptive for the individuals that it targets. Low suggests that other vulnerable demographics can also get caught within the crosshairs. “It doesn’t just make it hostile or unwelcoming for individuals who might want to sleep there,” she said. “It also doesn’t allow older people who might want a place to sit.” Not all public spaces are equally public and accessible. In cases where hostile design is practiced, public environments can be highly restrictive and unwelcoming, and effectively private. “Public space is only as public as you make it,” Low said, adding. “There are a lot of ways we privatize environments and many things that can be done to reduce the publicness of the public space.” Hostilely designed structures can be difficult to identify as they often blend into the built environment. Because they affect only certain populations, those unaffected can be oblivious to the problem.

“People who are not targeted by these designs sometimes don’t even recognize that they are there,” Rosenberger said. “Something that’s interesting about hostile architecture is that once you see it for the first time, you start seeing it everywhere.” While there are laws regulating public spaces to ensure handicap accessibility, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, there are currently no laws that prohibit hostile architecture. “I don’t see anything at the national or state level where there is some kind of prohibition on this kind of design,” Rosenberger said. While hostile design most noticeably includes adding materials, such as armrests along public benches, it can also take form through subtraction. “One of the trends in hostile architecture

is removing objects from spaces rather than adding things to those objects,” Rosenberger said. “It’s a kind of design through removal, an architecture that involves no architecture.” He added, “Even if you are in a space and there are no objects there, that can be a form of hostile design as well.” For Low, hostile architecture is not a design issue. Rather, it is a human issue which speaks to the ways in which people interact with one another. Architecture, therefore, is merely the reflection of the values of a society. “I don’t think it’s the architecture going wrong,” she said. “I think we’re in a moment in time when some of the more negative impulses and illiberal activities are being tolerated when they wouldn’t have been in other times.” She added, “How we build our environment — our villages, our benches and everything else — is

directly related to how we view ourselves and our society at that moment.” Rosenberger sees two principal values embodied by the hostile architecture movement. “The first one would be a kind of technocratic control, a value of controlling spaces and who is in those spaces,” he said. “The other is a value of washing our hands of that and saying, ‘There’s nothing to see here — the space is innocent.’” He added, “The spaces and the objects are not innocent. They may look innocent, but actually we have values built into that space.” Low believes public space is always designed with the intent to evoke a certain feeling or experience from the user. For this reason, a public space cannot be innocent or neutral. “The built environment is never neutral,” she said. “How do you feel in different places? Why do you feel that way and what is it in the built environment that is making you feel either encouraged to come or not?” Rosenberger suggested that to overcome hostile design, a community must first define its own values and then rebuild the environment to express them. “Our technologies are going to have values built into them,” he said. “We have to actively decide the values that we want because otherwise, we have these other values creeping in that we may not even notice.”

Memorial Day Parade returns to Setauket Residents lined Route 25A in Setauket for the return of the Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 30. The parade could not be held in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19. The event kicked off at Setauket Village Green, and elected officials, Scouts, volunteer firefighters, the Ward Melville High School band and more started marching down Main

Street and then headed east down Route 25A. The parade ended at Setauket Veterans Memorial Park on Shore Road for a wreathlaying ceremony hosted by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3054. In attendance was Hank Ryon, sitting in upper right photo, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. — Photos by Rita J. Egan

Bellone, Kornreich visit veterans home for Memorial Day service

BY RAYMOND JANIS EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Public officials gathered before a room of vets at the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University for a Memorial Day service Friday, May 27. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) gave the keynote address for the event. He continued the theme raised during his State of the County address a week earlier, invoking the example of the Greatest Generation as a model for Americans today. “I can’t help but think that it’s just at the moment when we see our World War II veterans unfortunately slowly, but inevitably, fade into history, that 80 years later we now see war raging in Europe,” he said. “It’s so important that we never forget what they did.” For Bellone, American veterans should be honored not only for their service abroad but for the work they perform for communities after they return from the battlefield. “It’s what veterans always do — they come

Community

home after fighting for our country and they build and they strengthen our community,” the county executive said, adding, “To all our veterans who have served, you all have picked up the baton of service. From the Revolutionary War right up to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, American veterans have served and have sacrificed.” Brookhaven Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) was also in attendance. Saying that he was inspired by Bellone’s address, the councilmember commented on the need for policymakers to temper their power to wage war and monitor their decisions that threaten peace. Without memory of the great global conflicts of the 20th century, leaders today may be less cautious in their use of force. “Maybe people now who are making decisions, who didn’t live through it, maybe they don’t have the same reluctance to engage in war and the same urgency to avoid it,” Kornreich said. “Especially right now, with all of the conflicts that are going on, that’s a very good lesson. I can’t think of a better way to honor the memory of those who have died in war than to try to fight for peace.” — Photos courtesy of Long Island State Veterans Home

Northport Tigers nip Ward Melville Patriots BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It came down to the ﬁnal possession in the Suffolk girl’s lacrosse Class A title game where the Northport Tigers clung to a one goal lead and was able to hold off a late game surge by the Patriots of Ward Melville for the 8-7 win at Newﬁeld High School May 25. Northport seniors Isabella Germani led the Tigers with four goals, and Ella Cabrera scored twice with two assists. Teammates Kaylie Mackiewicz and Shannon Smith both scored while Meghan Morris had a quiet day in net with four saves. Grace Balocca topped the scoring chart for

the Patriots with three goals and goalie Ava Carrillo stopped seven. The win sends Northport to the Long Island Championship round where they’ll face either Massapequa or Syosset at Lavalle Stadium in Stony Brook June 5. Game time is at high noon. Pictured clockwise from above, Ward Melville defender Catie Edson gets sandwiched by two Northport players; Patriots senior midfielder Courtney Quinn drives on a defender; Northport senior midfielder Ella Cabrera looks for a cutter; Ward Melville sophomore attack Grace Balocca pushes upfield; and Northport senior attack Julia Huxtable fires off a shot on goal. — Photos by Bill Landon

We walk with you

Last week, students nationwide walked out of their schools to stand up against gun violence and to demand stricter gun laws, including young people in the TBR News Media coverage areas. It’s crucial for students to know that we journalists walk with you. We may not always be there physically, but we are always there in spirit. As community watchdogs, it is our duty to help educate people on what’s going on in their towns, and to let those in charge know that we are watching them too. Parents, teachers, administrators and lawmakers must understand that young people are terrified by the headlines of the lastest mass shootings at schools. Our youth are being targeted, as our grownups stand by without solutions. Yes, many school districts along the North Shore have several security measures in place. Visitors are often required to ring a buzzer before entering a front door, where an attendant will buzz them in. Once inside the main entrance, they cannot walk through the school without showing ID first. Often, a security guard or hall monitor will escort them to wherever they may be going. While we applaud district administrators who have taken extra precaution to secure their buildings, protecting the lives of children and teachers goes beyond locked-door policies. To prevent mass shootings — such as those in Uvalde, Texas; Sandy Hook, Connecticut; and Parkland, Florida — it is time for our nation to stop avoiding the deeper conversations about gun reform. The horrifying headlines we see every day will not disappear until there are real changes. If a parent visiting a school to see their son or daughter receive an award is required to go through a few steps just to walk through a school, then someone buying a gun of any kind needs to go through several measures. The procedures in place are simply not enough. We know that there are some in this country hellbent on committing senseless harm who yearn to leave a mark on this world by depriving it of what is good and pure. Our nation needs stricter gun control laws so that these deranged individuals can be denied the opportunity to be remembered for the carnage they inflict upon humanity. The fight against gun violence goes even deeper than stricter laws, though. The battle begins with making mental health services available to everyone who needs them, including our youngest citizens. Children should always know that there is someone to talk to and help them navigate whatever they are going through in life. Sometimes one’s journey in life may feel like a deep, dark tunnel. It’s up to parents, journalists, educators, administrators and elected officials to show our young people that there is always a light at the end of any tunnel. Most of all, students need to know that the adults in their communities are there for them. We encourage students to attend board of ed meetings and to step up and speak out. We also invite our young readers to write in and let us know how they feel about the current gun laws, school safety and whatever else may be on their minds. We are here for you.

WRITE TO US … We welcome your letters. They

should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste. We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for conﬁrmation. Email letters to: rita@tbrnewsmedia.com or mail them to TBR News Media, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733

Letters to the Editor Secure the border and save lives

In October of this past year, when the nation’s focus was on public health, there was a deadly threat being overlooked by the media and ignored by the Democratic Biden administration. It was our wide-open Southern Border. Back then, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted the “rate of illness” for those illegally crossing the U.S.Mexico border was “approximately 20 percent.” Referencing the September surge of 15,000 Haitians, he said, “I do not know whether anyone was sick with COVID.” It’s only gotten worse. The Biden administration, and Mayorkas’ DHS, perhaps distracted by the threat of passionate parents showing up at PTA meetings, or slandering Border Patrol agents, have been AWOL to the point of complicity. Illegal migrant encounters at the border soared to a new record 234,088 in April, dwarfing March’s all-time high by 5.8%. Border Patrol holding areas are already at 203% capacity, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities are at 68.5%. Almost half of April’s crush was not from Mexico or the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The latter mentioned creates a whole different threat dynamic. An ISIS plot to assassinate former President George W. Bush [R] was uncovered. Iraqi citizen Shihab Ahmed Shihab Shihab planned to infiltrate the U.S.-Mexico border and get as many as seven or so coconspirators in from other countries, including Egypt and Denmark. That’s not all. Since January 2021, Border Patrol apprehended 42 illegal aliens, whose names are on the terror watchlist. When Mayorkas was asked if any of those were released into American communities, he could not say for certain. Remember how we’d “Never Forget 9/11”? This hapless Homeland Security bureaucrat looks like he’s already forgotten. Then there are the drugs. Fueled by deadly fentanyl being trafficked from Mexico, the U.S. had a recordshattering, more than 107,000 overdose deaths in 2021. That poison was the biggest killer of those aged 18-45. In 2020, 29,000 Americans aged 15-34 died of drug overdoses. Between 2019 and 2021, OD mortality for drug users aged 14 to 18 appears to have risen by over 100%, likely because the drugs have gotten deadlier.

Fentanyl is estimated to be up to 50 times more potent than heroin by weight. Quick and easy to make, it’s the perfect drug for producers and dealers. Making it even better for the cartels is the “surge” Biden called for during the ABC Democratic debate. While border enforcement personnel are busily processing some 2 million illegal crossings, smugglers are moving easily transportable fentanyl through areas left unprotected and into the hands of local gangs terrorizing many minority communities. If you thought Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris [D], and Mayorkas would be moved by skyrocketing American deaths and ongoing existential threats you’d be wrong. Rather than securing the border and saving lives they’ve chosen to hide behind a shamefully mum media. It worked for them last fall, but for us, not so much. Jim Soviero East Setauket

Enough of classrooms being a battleground

Every child deserves a high-quality public education. Our schools should be safe, welcoming and nurturing to every student, regardless of background. Children should see themselves reﬂected in the materials that they study. Schools are meant to teach truth. On May 17, residents across Long Island and New York state’s 700 school districts afﬁrmed their commitment to their public education and rejected the divisiveness that has permeated our communities. School budgets were overwhelmingly supported, despite attempts to defund our public schools. Candidates for school board who supported voting down school budgets and opposed New York State Education Department’s curriculum of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives did not fare well. For more than a year, school board meetings, which have traditionally been quiet and perhaps even a bit boring, have become reality TV. We’ve witnessed residents screaming about masks, curriculum, comparing vaccines to Nazi Germany, suing their school districts — it’s been quite a season, and it’s likely to continue. But the overwhelming majority of residents sent a message across Long Island and the state that we do not want this to be the new normal. We believe in teaching history as it happened. We believe in a curriculum that presents diverse perspectives. We reject censorship of our teachers and the

banning of books. We believe in public health and keeping each other safe in a global pandemic that has taken over one million American lives. It is important that we recognize and harness that power going into our November elections, where politicians have weaponized our children’s curriculum, their protection against COVID-19, and their very lives, in regards to gun safety. We need to elect leaders who value our children more than their rating from the NRA. We need to elect legislators who will take meaningful action to end gun violence in this country, including reinstating the ban on assault weapons and enacting universal background checks. As an educator and parent, I have had enough of our classrooms being a battleground, when they are intended to safely nurture all of our children, regardless of background, and teach truth. Any politician who stands in the way of this should be voted out on Nov. 8, 2022. Our children deserve better. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Time to pass environmentally responsible bill

State Assemblyman Steve Englebright [D-Setauket] is an environmental champion. He has been for his entire career in public service. He was way ahead of his time taking on the plastics industry when he was a Suffolk County legislator and is continuing that important work in Albany today. Englebright has introduced a bill to expand New York’s successful bottle bill to require deposits on noncarbonated beverages, liquor and wine bottles. These are all major sources of litter in Suffolk County and will be reduced when deposits are added. Second, he has introduced the most comprehensive packaging reduction bill in the nation which will not only protect the environment, especially the marine environment — but which will also save taxpayer dollars. His Extended Producer Responsibility bill (Assembly bill 10185), requires big companies like McDonald’s and Amazon to pay for the disposal of packaging rather than taxpayers. It is time to pass these sensible environmental proposals in Albany. Save the environment and save tax dollars — all at the same time. Judith Enck, President, Beyond Plastics Former EPA Regional Administrator Poestenkil

Opinion Seeing teachers through the eyes of an appreciative child

nce upon a time, a girl named Fiona read the book “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” She thought it was funny and charming that a child could see what no one else admitted. But then, something strange happened: she thought she could also see things that no one else could. “That’s sweet, Fiona, but focus on your school work and let your imagination run wild at other times,” her father told her that night. D. None Fiona did as she was told because she wanted of the above to please her parents BY DANIEL DUNAIEF and her teachers. It was her teachers that caused problems for her. It started with Mrs. Butler in her third grade class. A tall, thin woman with white hair and glasses, Mrs. Butler always wore high-heeled

shoes. She looked directly in the eyes of every student. One day, her friend Simona fell and hit her head. When Mrs. Butler bent down and checked on her friend, Fiona saw the kind of coat doctors and nurses wear appear around her shoulders. Fiona rubbed her eyes, but the coat was still there. Mrs. Butler calmly told the class to go to their seats, sent Bill to get the nurse and kneeled on the floor near Simona. When the nurse left with Simona, Mrs. Butler’s white coat disappeared. The next day, Jeff couldn’t understand a math problem. He wrote numbers all over the paper, but he didn’t have the answer. Fiona noticed a change again in Mrs. Butler’s clothing. Instead of her powder blue blouse, she had an orange vest and white gloves. With numbers on the smartboard, she directed Jeff away from all the dead ends. When he got closer to the answer, Jeff smiled. Fiona looked back at Mrs. Butler, whose orange vest and white gloves disappeared. Later, Doug and Andrew got into an argument near the stack of books at the back of

the room. When Doug swung his arm to make a point, he knocked over several books. Fiona saw Mrs. Butler’s clothing change again, this time into the kind of black and white stripes that referees wear in football games. She could even see a whistle dangling from her teacher’s neck. The next morning, Jill and Amanda couldn’t agree on how to do a class project. Jill marched to the front of the classroom to complain. Amanda followed closely. While Fiona couldn’t hear everything, she saw a black robe form around Mrs. Butler. When the conversation ended, Mrs. Butler said something that made both girls happy. They shook hands and walked back to their desks, where they returned to work on their project. One day, Fiona arrived early to class. She and her teacher were alone and she felt like she had to say something. “Mrs. Butler?” Fiona asked. “Yes?” Her teacher replied. “I see all the clothing you wear,” Fiona said. “I don’t think anyone else sees it.”

Mrs. Butler narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at her student. “What do you see?” Mrs. Butler asked. She described the medical jacket, the orange vest, the referee’s coat and the judge’s robe. “What do you think of all that?” Mrs. Butler asked. “Is it real?” Fiona asked. “Thank you for seeing,” Mrs. Butler grinned. Other students walked into the room and class started. Just then, Fiona heard an alarm. Mrs. Butler reacted immediately. She held up a shield and directed everyone to the back of the room. While they waited, Mrs. Butler told everyone to remain quiet. The class waited for the all clear. “It was a drill,” Mrs. Butler said. “You can return to your desks.” Fiona was the last to leave the classroom that day. “Fiona?” Mrs. Butler asked. “Is everything okay?” “Yes,” she said. “Thanks for … everything.”

A book that lets us consider what might have been said

“

What if,” is always an intriguing question. This is true for our personal lives, as well as for history. And one way to consider many historic “what ifs” is through a newly published book by Jeffrey Nussbaum, one of President Biden’s speechwriters, called, “Undelivered.” This is a compilation of speeches, never given, by historical figures, whose words Nussbaum tracked down over 20 years. These speeches include, among others, Between the draft of apology you and me that was prepared BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF for General Dwight Eisenhower, had D-Day ended in failure, and Hillary Clinton’s victory speech. Civil rights leader John Lewis’ original speech for the March on Washington, August 28, 1963, in which Martin Luther King Jr.

spoke his iconic “I’ve got a dream” words, is also revealing of the tension among the civil rights leadership. PBS, the television news hour, interviewed Nussbaum this past Monday, and he said that Lewis had originally intended to declare, “We will march through the South, through the heart of Dixie, the way Sherman did. We shall pursue our own scorched-earth policy and burn Jim Crow to the ground — non-violently” but was dissuaded from those words. The sponsors of the March, who feared looking too extreme and harming the chances of passing the civil rights bill, begged him to withdraw that particular rhetoric Lewis, with his back to the wall, most reluctantly changed his words that night, writing and rewriting his draft at the base of the Lincoln Memorial until it was acceptable, but the earlier text is in the book. One of the most fascinating speeches never given was the one awaiting the arrival of President John F. Kennedy on the lectern in Dallas on November 22, 1963. In that text was Kennedy’s warning of the existence of “a rise in the far-right wing camp of voices preaching doctrines wholly unrelated to reality.” He

would have said that “we are the watchmen on the wall of world freedom looking outside and INSIDE. [Capital letters are mine.]” The subtitle of Nussbaum’s book reads, “The never-heard speeches that would have rewritten history,” suggests that had Kennedy’s words been heard, history might indeed have been altered. As it is, people who read it after the assassination just regarded that speech as generally one of foreign policy. These speeches demonstrate how outcomes rest on the razor’s edge of history. Fascinating are “those warnings made in their moment of time,” according to Nussbaum, “that resonate even more clearly today.” Another historic instance mentioned by Nussbaum was of the three speeches written for Al Gore in the 2000 election. Gore was to give none of them that night. One was a victory speech, the second was a concession, and the third was in the event Gore won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote — prescient of the 2016 election. Nussbaum was one of those speechwriters, and that experience inspired him to write the book about other undelivered speeches.

Not all the speeches included in the book are about politicians and policy. There is the one by Barry Jenkins, the director behind the 2017 award-winning movie, “Moonlight.” Some of you may remember the flub that night, in which the wrong picture was initially announced as the winner and the wrong cast mounted the stage at the Academy Awards before the correction was made. In the chaos, Jenkins never got to say what winning that award meant for him. But here, in Nussbaum’s book, he does get to tell what he would have said. “They were filming in Liberty City, Miami,” explained Nussbaum, “and as in many poorer neighborhoods, there wasn’t sufficient lighting. They had to bring in lights, which attracted children to the set. At one point during the filming, [Jenkins] looks over to Video Village, where all the monitors and editing equipment were, and he sees a young man wearing his [Jenkins’] headset who’s just planted himself in [Jenkins’] chair.” “And in that moment, I saw in this child the possibility which I hadn’t believed I could ever see for myself,” Jenkins, who is Black, would have read. How poignant. And missed.
