Assembly speaker makes milestone stop in Setauket BY GISELLE BARKLEY

He is not only the first African-American Speaker of the New York State Assembly, but also the first speaker to visit various districts on Long Island, as far as one long-standing North Shore lawmaker can remember. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) visited Setauket on Oct. 20, and met with residents and North Shore government officials, including Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket); Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station); and state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket). “This happens about

and concerns of residents in areas like Setauket, he said. “When members get up and speak in conference, when they talk about what’s important to them or where they want us to concentrate

Three Village talks safety, possible buses for all By AndreA Moore PAldy

In the years since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting — a horror further punctuated by recent college shootings — safety continues to be a top priority for Three Village school officials. Security & Safety coordinator Jack Blaum detailed the district’s efforts at a recent school board meeting. The past year has seen the installation of vestibules in school lobbies, card key entryways, emergency training for staff and safety drills with students during school hours. Blaum said an analysis of the recent shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon reveals that such tragedies have three things in common: motive, means and opportunity. “The one thing we have total control over is opportunity,” Blaum said, last Wednesday. “The opportunity is keeping our buildings closed when we’re in session.” That is ensured by posting additional full-day security officers at each elementary school, as well as an additional full-day and half-day officer at the junior highs, he said. Security guards are also posted at each entrance to the high school. The security staff — which is made up of either active or retired law enforcement personnel — checks visitors who must enter an enclosed vestibule before entering a building. Greeters are respon-

&

sible for late arrivals, early dismissals and helping visitors once they’ve been allowed to enter. Blaum said that he and his team would begin to train district staff to use the CrisisManager app, which holds the district’s protocol for dealing with different crises. The app offers the advantage of being easier to reference during a real crisis than a paper flow chart, Blaum explained. Parents and students can also download the free app. In other details, Blaum said the district is constructing a “command center,” with 11 video monitors at the back of the North Country Administration Building. He said the center would make it easier for the superintendent to monitor incidents remotely and help with any investigations. Across the district, emergency phones — “bat phones,” according to Blaum — connect directly to the Suffolk County police communications supervisor in Yaphank. “Lockdown buttons,” located throughout each building, will trigger an automated lockdown message, disable key card access to all but emergency personnel and set off sirens and a blue strobe light to alert those outside the building that the school is on lockdown. Besides the additional cameras installed throughout the district, including the Ward Melville High School football field, there is also a law enforcement presence on

weekends and holidays, Blaum said. Though the district’s advantage is in controlling opportunity, Blaum emphasized the importance of recognizing and reporting changes in student or staff behavior. He reminded the community to use the Safe School Helpline to report safety concerns. “If you take out one part of motive,

Hope Children’s Fund celebrates 10 years By Giselle Barkley

With the help of Hope Children’s Fund, the children of Joseph Kirima Rwito’s orphanage in Meru, Kenya, have never had to wonder where they were getting their next meal or resting their head in the last 10 years. On Saturday, the Hope Children’s Fund board of directors celebrated the 10th anniversary of its involvement in Rwito’s orphanage at the Heritage Trust Center in Mount Sinai. The orphanage, called The Jerusha Mwiraria Hope Children’s Home, provides food, shelter and education for orphaned Kenyan children and those who are struggling to get by despite living with relatives. For these children, education is key to a brighter future, and Larry Hohler, president of Hope Children’s Fund, and his team, are doing what they can to help. In addition to celebrating another year, the organization aimed to raise enough money to help these kids go to high school, or other higher educational institutions. The Hope Children’s Fund got involved with the orphanage after Rwito saw countless children on the streets. In the early 2000s, the AIDS epidemic in Kenya left many children without parents or relatives to care for them. According to Hohler, of Port Jefferson, Rwito took 45 of these children and started a feeding program, but after seeing the

children return to their life of poverty, Rwito wanted to do more. He asked Hohler to help create the orphanage, and now, upwards of 80 children of various ages reside at, or go to the orphanage. Hohler said the orphanage is so successful that Kenyan authorities and other community members bring kids in need there. While part of the goal is to help these children, Hohler said funding additional children isn’t easy. “The problem is that they just leave them here, and they don’t help us pay for the upkeep,” Hohler said. Despite this, the organization and the orphanage received help from ShorehamWading River High School students in the past. According to Hohler, they donated countless books to the orphanage for the kids to read and enjoy. Hope Children’s Fund board of directors member Nancy Rose said the high school students used to visit the orphanage, but stopped. Rose was unsure why they stopped visiting, but said some kids stay in touch with the children they met at the orphanage. Funding doesn’t just help feed the kids, it helps send them to school. Once the children reach eighth grade, they must take a test to determine if they can move up to high school. Those who fail the test must retake it to advance. While paying to get into high school is another alternative, the majority of

these children do not have the finances to afford high school. It’s up to the orphanage and the Hope Children’s Fund to provide that funding once the child passes the test. According to Rose, who is a mentor to several of the children, the institute hoped to raise $7,000 to $8,000 to help the kids who are preparing to take the exam. Although Rose is unsure if the organization will reach its goal, it still aims to do what it can. “If they study hard and they pass the test, you just don’t want to tell them ‘I’m sorry, you can’t go, because we can’t come up with the money,’” Rose said. Rose and her husband, Phil, started helping the children in the orphanage 10

years ago, and found out about the Hope Children’s Fund through their daughter. According to Phil Rose, those who mentor children at the orphanage are responsible for paying one dollar daily, which goes toward the children they mentor. The money raised during Saturday’s event also went toward funding the children’s education. Those who didn’t want to purchase merchandise at the event could make a donation or use iGift to help the children in Rwito’s orphanage. iGift allows people to purchase goods from participating stores and donate at the same time. A small percentage of the money from that purchase goes toward helping the orphanage.

No LIRR train service between Hicksville and Mineola October 24–25 The Long Island Rail Road’s work to replace the 75-year-old Ellison Avenue Bridge with a newer, safer structure is underway. And on the weekend of October 24–25, the new bridge will be installed. To allow workers to safely complete this project, there will be no LIRR train service between Hicksville and Mineola for 48 hours during this weekend. Buses will replace some trains, while other trains will be rerouted. In addition, special weekend timetables will be in effect for all branches. Travel Tips: • Pick up and review special schedules for all branches dated October 24–25 • Plan for your trips to take up to 60 minutes longer than usual • Leave bicycles at home, as they will not be permitted on buses or trains • Listen for announcements regarding track, platform and schedule changes • Mets Fans – If the Mets are playing a National League Championship Series (NLCS) game at Citi Field on October 24 or 25, customers are advised to avoid delays by riding South Shore, Port Washington or Babylon Branch trains instead of buses. Ronkonkoma Branch trains will not stop at Woodside on this weekend. For more information that can help you plan your travels during this weekend, call 511 or visit mta.info/lirr/ellisonave

Reptile files: Illegal animals turned over

Long Islanders turned in three American alligators and eight turtles at a recent animal amnesty event in Brookhaven Town, and all of the reptiles are shipping up to a Massachusetts sanctuary. Brookhaven’s Holtsville Ecology Center hosted the event on Oct. 10 to allow residents to turn in any protected, endangered or threatened animals that require special New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permits without fear of penalties or questioning. It was the second annual event of its kind for the town, which operated with the help of those two agencies and the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. People with dangerous or illegal animals were able to turn them over to professionals, no questions asked. Suffolk SPCA Chief Roy Gross called the recent amnesty event a success, saying the three alligators turned in “had the potential of ending up endangering the public.” According to Brookhaven Town, the average length a fully grown female American alligator is a little more than 8 feet, and a fully grown male can be longer than 11 feet. Of the three alligators turned in, two were males, measuring 27 and 29 inches, and one was a 32-inch female. “People should think twice before acquiring illegal reptiles or mammals,” Gross said in a statement from the town. “They do not make good pets and you

are risking fines and possible jail time.” At last year’s animal amnesty event, people turned in 25 animals, including a western diamondback rattlesnake, a green anaconda, four boa constrictors, an American alligator and two marmosets. “These animals were turned in before the people harboring them as pets released them into the wild, creating a potentially dangerous situation in our local communities,” Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) said in a statement about the alligators and turtles turned in this year. “These animals will now receive proper care without posing a threat.” Owners of potentially dangerous animals have dumped them in public places in the past, creating a public safety issue. In late August, a 25-pound alligator snapping turtle was discovered in a stream of the Nissequogue River, opposite the Smithtown Bull on Route 25. The reptile is not indigenous to Long Island — it is a freshwater animal with enough power to bite off a human toe or finger, and is usually found in places from eastern Texas to the Florida panhandle. “People need to understand that many exotic animals can be very dangerous if not handled properly or allowed to grow to their adult size,” Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said in a statement. “They are even more threatening if released into the wild, where they could harm people or other animals.” — ELAnA GLowAtz

Stony Brook grad pledges to fund athletic facility By Phil Corso

It’s a perfect match. A graduate of Stony Brook University has committed to a matching challenge grant to help raise money for the Stony Brook Foundation and Stony Brook Athletics as they work to collect $10 million to fund an indoor training center on campus. Glenn Dubin, a 1978 grad, teamed up with his wife Eva to announce the $5 million pledge in the form of a 1:1 matching grant he said would hopefully give a boost to the fundraising campaign. Once completed, Stony Brook Athletics said it planned on breaking ground on a new state-of-the-art indoor practice facility and complex near LaValle Stadium. “With this challenge pledge, I hope to inspire Seawolves friends, fans and family to support current and future Stony Brook student-athletes,” Glenn Dubin said in a statement. “We wanted to kickstart this campaign and rally the Stony brook community around the athletic department. Stony Brook Athletics has substantial and significant aspirations for the near future, and excellent facilities are a necessary component to realize these aspirations and achieve success.” In a statement, Stony Brook Athletics said the new facility would include a 100-yard indoor multi-purpose synthetic turf practice field, as well as inno-

vative lighting, film equipment, sound and video systems and a 90-foot ceiling clearance height. The building was also designed for multiple uses, with the intention of hosting all Stony Brook intercollegiate athletic teams’ practices throughout the year. Samuel L. Stanley Jr., president of Stony Brook University, applauded the Dubins for their generosity and said their matching challenge opened the door for more donors to play their part in making the new facility a reality. “Over the past decade, Glenn and Eva Dubin have shown incredible vision and had a tremendous impact on Stony Brook Athletics,” Stanley said. “This new challenge match gives others the opportunity to play an active role in the success of our student athletes and our athletic program.” Stony Brook University Athletic Director Shawn Heilbron said the new building was an integral part of the college’s five-year plan through an initiative known as Together We Transform, which was launched in 2015 as an aggressive strategic plan to have Stony Brook recognized as a premier NCAA Division I athletic department. “Our objective is to positively transform the life of each student-athlete,” he said. “And this project will benefit the more than 435 student-athletes that comprise our teams. I am extremely grateful

to the Dubin family for their belief in our program and for their sincere generosity.” The G. & E. Dubin Family Foundation previously donated $4.3 million to Stony Brook Athletics back in 2010 for the creation of an 8,000-square-foot strength and conditioning facility named the Dubin Family Athletic Performance Center, which already opened in 2012. Glenn Dubin, who played both football and lacrosse

at Stony Brook University, has remained a staunch supporter of the Seawolves athletic club as a regular attendee at men’s lacrosse and football games. He also donated $1 million to Stony Brook in 2005 to create the Glenn Dubin Endowed Scholarship Fund, which offers scholarships to students from Washington Heights, particularly students from P.S. 132, where he attended elementary school.

PERSPECTIVES

Explore ways to keep Island water clean: Kominicki Your turn

BY John KominicKi

Cutting the ribbon on a new shopping center used to be an elected official’s most-prized photo op. Today, it’s unveiling a septic system install. That’s real progress on a couple of fronts. First, there is scientific evidence that suggests Long Island will actually sink if anybody builds another shopping center here. More importantly, it shows that sewage has finally taken its rightful place, front and center, in the minds of local pols. And about time. The region’s aquifers, which supply residents with almost 140 billion gallons of fresh water a year, are showing signs of real distress, with rising nitrogen levels from wastewater and storm runoff that’s laced with lawn, golf course and farm fertilizers. Phosphorus is also on the rise, and new pollutants, from flushed pharmaceutical and personal care products, have been found in our drinking water lately. I’ll pause for a collective, “Eeew.” What’s so bad about nitrogen, you ask? Basically, that it thrives on oxygen, which, as you may remember from high school, is a pretty important part

of H2O. Get too much nitrogen in your water supply and you have to worry about bad things, like methemoglobinemia, which is better known as Blue Baby Syndrome. The name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Nitrogen in our rivers, lakes and seas also fertilizes oxygen-sucking algae, which have been known to cause giant oceanic dead zones, completely devoid of other plant life or aquatic species. The algae can also choke out coastal grasses and other plant life that slow down the tidal waves associated with storms that have names.

Storms with names like “Sandy,” for instance. Nitrogen levels are a problem for both our counties, but in different ways. Nassau’s issue is the outflow from its waste treatment facilities, which is discharged way too close to shore and is responsible for the spread of an especially foul-smelling, marshkilling algae called sea lettuce. The county would like to shoot the effluent a couple miles out to sea, but it needs financial help – $600 million ought to do it – to get the job done. Maybe some of our friends in Alba-

ny are reading this. Suffolk’s problem is on the intake. With huge swaths of the county still unsewered – for more, do a Google search of “Southwest Sewer District Scandal” – residents rely largely on septic tanks and cesspools, which do little more than strain waste through the soil and, eventually, back into the aquifer. Another, “Eeew” is appropriate. Now, back to the photo op, where we saw Suffolk Executive Steve Bellone (D) posing recently beside a large hole in the yard of Nesconset’s Jim Minet, one of 19 lucky winners of the county’s advanced wastewater treatment systems lottery. The prize: A $15,000 Hydro Action “extended aeration” system that keeps micro-organisms at the buffet longer, reducing exiting nitrogen levels by as much as 80 percent. Nineteen advanced wastewater treatment systems are a nice start, but with 400,000 septic tanks in the county, the program obviously has a ways to go. What’s important is that Bellone and Nassau counterpart Ed Mangano (R) are proactively working the clean water issue and lobbying mightily for the state and federal financial aid needed to move local efforts along. Good on them. Perhaps they understand that elected office is, itself, a lot like a sewer. What you get out of it, after all, depends almost entirely on what you put into it.

MEMORIAL

North Shore to honor Anderson’s spirit The Port Jefferson community is hosting a special memorial service to honor the North Shore’s Ken Anderson, who died a few months ago. Born Samuel Kenneth Anderson in Wilmington, Del., on Dec. 3, 1928, Anderson was the oldest of Edna May Anderson’s three children. He attended Howard High School in Wilmington, where he first found his love of singing and became active in the choir. Ken Anderson, who died on June 9, served in the 7th U.S. Army Special Services in Germany. He entertained military troops throughout Europe in a 1950s-style quartet and sang Paul Robeson’s Negro spirituals and songs. He received an honorable discharge in 1954. Afterward, he worked at the Delaware State Psychiatric Hospital at Farnhurst. as an attendant and then as an orderly in the operating room. This led him to become a registered nurse in 1962. Anderson entered nursing school to study anesthesiology, graduating from Harlem Hospital. He moved to Port Jefferson to join the anesthesia staff of John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in 1963. In 1973, he earned a bachelor’s degree

in nursing from Stony Brook University and was part of the faculty of the School of Nursing. To his dismay, there were no black students enrolled in the program, nor were there any faculty members of color at the school. He became a strong voice to recruit African-American students into the school and established outreach programs to attract those students. Anderson joined a diverse array of organizations in that time, from the Boy Scouts of America to the Suffolk County Civil Liberties Board. He authored a Health Care Bill of Rights, which was approved by the Suffolk County Legislature — an initiative far ahead of its time — and was elected president of the Brookhaven National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1976. That same year, Anderson was named the Village Times’ Man of the Year. The community man’s perseverance and dedication ultimately led to one of his greatest achievements: a master’s degree in social welfare from SBU in 1978. Of his many accomplishments, he was most proud of his induction into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious honor society, in 1999.

Ken Anderson will be remembered for his strong voice and community service.

Anderson’s pursuits were not just educational — he also sang professionally. His talents ultimately came to the attention of Pete Seeger, the world-renowned musician and social activist. The pair became good friends, and performed together on numerous occasions. They shared a love of spiritual music and an appreciation of Seeger’s good friend, Paul

Robeson. Robeson’s music was a constant in Anderson’s performances and speaking engagements. Seeger once commented, “Kenneth had a voice in 10,000.” Anderson was predeceased by his wife, Arlene Anderson, and his brother, Phillip Anderson Sr. He is survived by his sister, Gwendolyn Evans Taylor, of Wilmington, and his children, Sandra (Jesse) Clark of Middletown, Del.; Samuel Kenneth (Vrana) Anderson Jr. of Newark, Del.; Nana Marie (Wayne) Bey of New Castle, Del.; Cynthia (Lawrence) Sturgis of New Castle; and Michael C. (Nancy) Anderson of San Mateo, Calif. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren and a host of great-grandchildren, greatgreat-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Port Jefferson’s memorial service to honor Anderson will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, 107 South St., on Sunday at 2 p.m. Call 631-473-0147 for more information. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions in Anderson’s memory to the local chapter of the NAACP.

PSEG pushes to prevent service payment scams

CE Y

THE VILLAGE TIMES HERALD

Stock photo

An ‘old scam with a new twist’ is soliciting money from some PsEG long island customers and threatening to cut off service if payments are not made immediately.

Long Island utility PSEG said residents across Nassau and Suffolk counties have been receiving suspicious phone calls threatening to cut their service if they don’t immediately pay up bills that don’t exist. An alert from PSEG Long Island said both residential and business customers have been receiving calls from tricksters claiming to be employees of the utility company and warning that their electric service would soon be cut if payments are not made to them the same day. Similar scams have been reported across the country, with PSEG being one of the latest to see customers fall victim to them, the utility said in a statement. It was described as an “old scam with a new twist,” in which scammers spoof PSEG Long Island’s interactive voice response system prompt menu so that when customers call back, they are presented with an interaction that is similar to one they would receive if they called PSEG Long Island’s real customer service line. “The scammers tell customers that, in order to avoid being shut off, they must immediately pay their bill with a prepaid card that can be purchased at many pharmacies and retail stores,”

the utility said in a statement. Dan Eichhorn, vice president of customer services for PSEG Long Island, said there were striking similarities in each of the scams. “Scammers ask the customer to give them the number on the back of the prepaid card and take the money from the card — usually within a matter of minutes,” he said in a statement. “This scam has affected companies across the country. We urge our customers to always use caution when making payments.” The utility reassured that it would never force a customer to give them the number of a prepaid card, especially with such urgency. In a statement, PSEG Long Island said that suspicious residents should hang up the phone if they receive such a call and call back directly to test the validity of that call. “When PSEG Long Island makes an outbound phone call to customers, customer-specific information is shared with the customer,” PSEG Long Island said in a statement. “That information includes the account name, address, number and current balance. If customers do not receive this correct information, they likely are not speaking with a PSEG Long Island representative.” The number on the back of PSEG Long Island customer bills is 1-800-490-0025. PSEG Long Island said the utility was working with local and national law enforcement to investigate the matter further and is reaching out to its contacts at local community service agencies, asking them to spread the word to their clients.

Clockwise, from top left, Victoria with the chickens, sea lion, Jane Goodall and Jack Hanna

Young journalist and educator has the eye of the tiger Victoria Bonavita has accomplished a lot at her young age. At age 10, she asked her teacher if she could bring her chickens to school so she could teach her fifth-grade class about them. She was informed that administrative approval was needed. While waiting, she made an educational movie called “Victoria’s Amazing Pets” that she planned to use as an alternative method of teaching should her request be denied. Victoria eventually received permission to bring in her birds and gave an incredible one-hour presentation to the entire fifth grade, administration and faculty. So began the path Victoria is on today. Victoria has been featured on News 12 and has filmed for “My Long Island,” a show that will air on FiOS1 shortly. Additionally, as a volunteer, Victoria teaches in schools and libraries, where she shares her knowledge and experiences in a series of educational programs called “Victoria’s Amazing Pets.” These programs also have been successfully adapted and used by teachers whose students possess learning disabilities. She is often requested by teachers to bring her programs to their schools. Victoria also has a long list of educational videos on her YouTube channel, “Victoria’s Amazing World,” and a website by the same name.

Victoria’s desire to share stories about amazing people led to her journalism work. She has interviewed a long list of great individuals, each time having done so without using any notes — which is pretty remarkable, considering Victoria is only 11. She has recently worked with celebrities such as Jack Hanna, animal expert and television personality; Sam Williams of Bonaire, wildlife rehabilitator; Jan Brett, popular children’s author; Lidia Bastianich, chef, TV personality, author and restaurateur; Anson Williams, actor, director, producer and author; Don Most, actor, director and singer; Burt Young, actor; Penny Chenery, owner of Secretariat; and Jane Goodall, who redefined the relationship between humans and animals and who is a Messenger of Peace for the United Nations. Victoria is now a contributor to ET Week Media, with a circulation of over 87,000. Her first article appeared recently, accompanied by a companion video. She has also written an informational book on chickens that she aims to get published in the near future. Scholastically, she maintains high honor roll grades and has been recognized by Dowling College for her work in the field of arts and sciences. A kind, knowledgeable and generous girl, Victoria is an inspiration to all.

The Three Village Central School District has appointed veteran educator and longtime employee Anthony Pollera as its new coordinating chairperson of music. Pollera joined the district in 2002 as a teacher of chorus and chamber choir as well as the director of the R.C. Murphy Junior High School musical theater program. Under his direction, the ninth-grade chamber choir has received first place at the Music in the Parks competition seven times, as well as the prestigious Esprit de Corps Award given to students at the competition who demonstrate significant respect, cooperation and consideration of each other, other student groups and

teachers at the festival. For the past three years, he has been one of the lead music teachers in the district and has directed and organized countless events in the Three Village community. Pollera received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and his master’s degree from Stony Brook University. He has received the Outstanding Achievement as Director of a Districtwide Program Award by the New York State English Council, the Performing Arts in Education Award by Theatre Three in Port Jefferson and, most recently, the 2011 SCOPE Outstanding Teacher Award.

er of the NYS Assembly on Feb. 3. Since his election, Heastie has tackled a variety of issues including education, homelessness, financial stability for families and minimum wage, among other areas of concern. The speaker also has ties to the greater North Shore community, as he graduated from Stony Brook University in 1990 with a degree in science. State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) was recently named the Senate majority leader, making the North Shore’s presence strong in the state Legislature. Although Heastie had limited time to mingle, Englebright guided Heastie around various areas in Setauket, touring the community’s coveted Greenway Trail, and introducing him to the history of the region and the role it played in the birth of the United States, starting with Patriot’s Rock in Setauket, where the famous Battle of Setauket was fought. Officials from Stony Brook University library were on hand to deliver the speaker a copy of a famous letter George

Washington signed at West Point during the Revolutionary War. “I used to teach political science and American history,” Heastie said. “So I’m kind of a history buff. It’s just something that was a little different than other parts of the tour, so this was nice — particularly with it being so close to the college that I graduated from.” After learning about Long Island’s link to the Culper Spy Ring, dating back to the Revolutionary War era, the speaker stopped at the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, followed by a visit to Gallery North in Setauket. Throughout the visit, Englebright and other North Shore leaders used their time with the speaker to reiterate some of the region’s most pressing issues, including preservation and environmental sustainability. Englebright also reaffirmed Heastie’s desire to tour the districts as a means of helping those he represents and serves as speaker. “He’s very interested in visiting the various districts and learning of what his members are working on,” Englebright said. “I’m one of his senior members, and I’m very grateful he wants to come out and see what are the things I’m really focused on in the district.”

Buses for all

In another move aimed at student safety, the district will provide busing for everyone. Currently, Three Village provides busing for all elementary school students, but not for junior high students who live less than a mile from school or high schoolers less than a mile and a half away. “It is the single biggest complaint,” assistant superintendent for business services Jeff Carlson said. He pointed specifically to the danger posed to students crossing Nicolls Road to get to R.C. Murphy Junior High School. He also mentioned those who have to walk along Christian Avenue, Quaker Path or Mudd Road — which have

no sidewalks— to P.J. Gelinas Junior High School. There is also an issue of safety for high school students walking along Sheep Pasture Road, he said. The three additional buses would cost $220,000, but transportation aid from the state would be around $100,000, he said. With more state aid to further lower the cost, the increase to the tax levy would be around $10,000, Carlson said. Residents must vote on an amendment to the busing guidelines in a proposition that is separate from the budget. The school board unanimously voted to add the proposition to the May ballots. “That’s our duty, our obligation to keep all our students safe,” said board trustee Jeff Kerman, who seemed to sum up the sentiments of his colleagues.

OPINION

Photo from Huntington Town

Nineteen high school students are honored at Huntington Town’s 21st Annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration Program held at Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School on Oct. 16.

EdiTOriAL

More than a month

National hispanic heritage Month, a time when the country pays tribute to the generations of hispanic-Americans who have influenced our society, ended on Oct. 15. But that doesn’t mean Long island’s North Shore should stop thinking about this growing demographic. There’s more we can do as a region to better accommodate and embrace hispanic-Americans who help diversify our neighborhoods and are a huge economic driver on the island. According to a 2007 research report, prepared for the Long island social activism nonprofit, hagedorn Foundation, hispanic residents add nearly $5.7 billion to total Long island output as a result of their consumer spending, and hispanic employment continues to grow rapidly. Those numbers can only have grown in the last several years since the report was published — and community tensions have grown along with them. Tensions between hispanic residents and police officers have been well documented. Earlier this year, a class action lawsuit by a group of Latinos alleged the Suffolk County Police department targeted them. The group claimed several officers robbed them or issued them traffic citations in unfounded, race-based stops. There has also been an outcry from huntington Station residents, many of them hispanic, who say they don’t feel safe in their own neighborhoods or protected by police. There have also been instances of hispanic people being made to feel marginalized by their own neighbors. Police should continue to cultivate a stronger relationship with the island’s hispanic communities by involving youth and hosting local programs, like forums, where residents can discuss local issues or share concerns. Non-hispanic residents should also do their part to call out prejudice when they see it, and encourage more hispanic neighbors to join their various community groups. We should strive to include hispanics as we steer Long island toward its future, and we should do it because it’s necessary, and not just because of some national holiday prompt.

How things change TO ThE EdiTOr: What happened to the adage, “the republican party is made up of a bunch of old white men?” isn’t it astounding that the republican Party is so inclusive that the nominees encompass white, African-American, Cuban, Spanish, indian, female, several governors, several senators, successful people young, middle-age and senior? Sounds like the United Nations. Meanwhile, in contrast the democratic Party has two “serious” candidates that are both senior

They are volunteers who take time out of their busy schedules to help others. A friend said that she didn’t think Meals on Wheels existed anymore, as you never hear anything about it.

Now there are many seniors with much wisdom, but certainly not these three. Our country needs a new administration that focuses on the pertinent crisis issues that are threatening us and that we all agree on, namely radical islamic terrorists, the iranian deal, the threat of Putin, the deceptions of China, illegal immigration and loss of religious freedom.

to displace the void left by the President Barack Obama Administration. Time has shown that they lead from behind, reactive instead of pro-active and this has resulted in causing worldwide chaos. As Americans, we need to stop being fooled by the media with their games of distraction, distortion and deception. We need to get involved searching for truth. That will set America free from disorder.

Envious confession from a Yankees fan

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

T

hanks for seeing me on such short notice, Doc. I’ve got a problem and it just can’t wait. Oh, yes, thanks for noticing. I am wearing my Yankees sweatshirt again. I was worried that it was bringing the Yankees bad luck all those games, but then I realized my sweatshirt was the least of their worries.

You see, I’m developing … do you mind if I whisper here …. Mets envy. Yes, shush, don’t write it down. I don’t want that in my files. I am a proud Yankees fan and I can quote stats and bring out iconic baseball names. But the big problem is that the Mets are not only relevant, they’re great. No, they’re not Tony the Tiger great. Geez, Doc. Do you even watch baseball? It’s America’s pastime, you know? It might help you to understand people like me if you followed sports. Anyway, so the Mets have always been like the baseball younger brother in this area. They have a great song that I learned growing up; it’s got words, while the Yankee song doesn’t. No, stop, don’t worry about the stupid song. Anyway, so, you have these Mets and they’re stacked with great pitchers. And, for the most part, they didn’t have to race out and buy them from

somewhere else. They got this kid Noah Syndergaard, they call him Thor, who throws around 100 miles per hour. They traded for him from the Toronto Blue Jays, along with their catcher Travis d’Arnaud in exchange for R.A. Dickey. Man, that trade certainly turned out well for the Mets. And then they have Daniel Murphy. He’s their second baseman and he’s in the last year of his contract and he’s making even some of the best pitchers in baseball look like they’re throwing batting practice. How does someone get to be so good at just the right moment? Don’t do that thing where you answer a question with a question. I hate that. OK, I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact that he’s in the last year of his contract and he’s playing for a big payday. I’ve wondered whether a manager could create an entire team of talented players who are good, but not spectacularly expensive,

who are playing for the next big contract. Yes, I know, that’s the American way. Doc, stop interrupting ... it’s more like an American nightmare. Anyway, so while Murphy is crushing balls over the fence and stealing bases even when the pitcher isn’t throwing the ball, his teammates are doing so many little things right, too. What do I mean? Well, after Murphy took third base that time, the next guy up was d’Arnaud. He came up with one out and a runner on third. Now, if it were the Yankees this year, that runner would have been stranded there, marooned like he was on Gilligan’s island. What does the Mets catcher do? Well, of course, he hits a sacrifice fly and drives in a huge run. He didn’t even look like he was trying to hit a home run. That’s just not in the Yankees playbook. Why can’t my team do that? Stop nodding your head. I know it’s dark at Yankee Stadium at this

The Mets are not only relevant, they’re great.

time of year and I know Yankee fans are benefiting from all the extra time on our hands. But, you see Doc, the Mets aren’t just good now. They look like they could be good for years. And, well, the Yankees are old and stiff and breaking down. Doc? What are you doing? Come on, seriously? You’re buying Mets tickets for next year while I’m sitting here? I thought you didn’t follow baseball. Wow, you got those seats? Hey, can you take me to a game or two? I promise not to whimper too much.

Cold War high-wire exchange in Berlin, 1962

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

T

he Cold War is back in Steven Spielberg’s new film, “Bridge of Spies.” Starring Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance, the movie is based on a true story that I well remember for I am a child of the Cold War era during which the United States and the Soviet Union had been competing over who could amass the most lethal cache of nuclear weapons. I was 6 years old and in first grade when a movie company producing news segments that routinely preceded the featured film in

theaters came to my school. This was before television. They filmed my class doing a “duck and cover” in which we pulled our raincoats over our heads and scrambled under our desktops. This action was to protect us from the effects of an atom bomb, should one be dropped on New York City by the Soviets, and the news short was shown in local theaters. I was the child in the front. With my life as sort of bookends of that era, I crossed into East Berlin in 1989, six weeks before the Berlin Wall was torn down. I was visiting a friend whose husband was on sabbatical in West Berlin at the time, and she booked us on a bus that regularly took tourists to view the museums behind the Iron Curtain. It happened to be the weekend of the 40th anniversary of the East German state, called the German Democratic Republic, and Soviet Union general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev was joining East German leader Erich Honecker for the celebrations. Stuck behind the Wall for security reasons, we witnessed torchlight parades through the

streets from the bus for hours before we were able to return to the West. The woman in the seat ahead of us audibly thanked God and wanted to kiss the ground when we did. It was an inside look at the crumbling buildings, the cameras, dogs, challenging border guards and tensions that existed in East Berlin, which my gut still recalls because it clenched at the sight and atmosphere realistically portrayed in East Berlin by Spielberg I feel fortunate to have had that experience because we who so automatically enjoy all sorts of freedoms need to know what lacking them means to the citizenry of any country. People were killed trying to scale the Berlin Wall to escape, and “Bridge of Spies” recaptures that desperation even as it tells the story of how two Americans were freed. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was in his last months at the White House when Francis Gary Powers was flying his U-2 spy plane over Soviet Union airspace and was shot down. That was in 1960, when coinciden-

tally a Soviet KGB spy known as Rudolf Abel was serving a prison term in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. He had been nabbed by the FBI in what was termed the Hollow Nickel Case and was serving a 45-year sentence. After Powers was captured the Soviets initiated a back-door effort to trade Powers for Abel, and the negotiator in that highly tense situation was, improbably, an insurance lawyer named James Donovan from Brooklyn, where Abel had lived and posed as an artist. It had to be someone without government ties, and Donovan was selected first to defend Abel in order to give him the right to a fair trial, according to the movie, and then to unofficially represent the United States in such an exchange. With Cold War tensions high, Donovan was initially vilified for defending Abel, and death threats were made against him while his wife and children were threatened. But through a whole series of gutsy experiences, including giving up the coat off his back, Donovan was able to successfully trade Abel for two Americans: Powers and a Yale

economics grad student who simply had been in the wrong place at the wrong time. We who were alive then or have read about the U-2 incident know that the negotiations were ultimately successful. Powers and Abel were marched to the center of the Glienicke Bridge, which spans the narrows between West Berlin and Potsdam, and returned to the protection of their respective countries. The Yale grad student, Frederic Pryor, was simultaneously allowed to cross at Checkpoint Charlie. Yet even though the outcome is never in doubt, Spielberg manages to keep the film moving at a high frequency, largely by focusing on Donovan. Written by the Coen brothers and Matt Charman, and distributed by Disney and 20th Century Fox, the film has already garnered considerable praise. So has Hanks in this Cold War epic.
