Mount Sinai Reverend brings medical care to needy Hondurans

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com For a dozen years, a pastor from First Presbyterian Church of Port Jefferson has been making an annual trip to Honduras to provide people of all ages with desperately needed medical care.

Reverend Richard Graugh, a Mount Sinai native who has been at First Presbyterian since 2007, first joined a small group of doctors from across North America in making a trip to the third-world country 12 years ago. In the years since its inception, the mission has expanded to include the establishment of a nonprofit organization, and plans to construct a permanent medical clinic in Honduras now exist.

Belle Terre resident Jackie Gernaey, who has made the trip once before, attended the last visit to Honduras, from Dec. 31, 2016, to Jan. 10.

“It ends up turning into a giant village celebration when we show up,” Graugh said. “It’s not really a party, but they all get dressed up; they’re cooking food like pregaming at a football game.”

Graugh described the circumstances of the group’s annual January trip, which lasts for a week and is funded out of the pockets of the doctors and other volunteers who make the trek. The doctors pack suitcases with medical equipment, medicines, supplies and even crayons and coloring books, to hand out to children while they wait on lines to receive treatment.

This year, 18 Americans from across the country joined twice as many Hondurans in setting up shop at the Hospital of San Lorenzo in southern Honduras to administer eye exams to 430 people — most for the removal of cataracts — dental care for more than 600 patients and other medical treatments to the hundreds of villagers.

Dental and eye care are of extreme importance to the Honduran people because of

reverend richard Graugh of First Presbyterian Church of Port Jefferson and 17 other North Americans on a medical mission to Honduras in January a lack of clean water and a blistering hot sun year-round. Cataracts are a common problem for people of all ages.

Graugh said 12 years ago, it was a small operation started by doctors from Pennsylvania who essentially just asked around to see if anyone was interested in joining.

“We used to go down there and do this, and there would be no real organization behind it apart from people with good intentions and good faith and good skills to help these people,” he said.

A nonprofit organization called Key Humanitarian Initiative for Southern Hondu-

ras was established with bases in Virginia and Honduras, as a way to raise more funds for the annual mission. Now, the group is seeking donations and has received a plot of land to establish a permanent medical facility so that groups can make trips to provide care to Hondurans all year.

“Ostensibly, one from North America is astounded by the quality of joy they have in the day that we’re there,” Graugh said of the trips. “I don’t know if they have the joy all of the time, but there is a palpable sense of joy present even though these people live in very poor conditions.”

Despite the joy Graugh said he observes during his time in the country, the mission is far from a happy occurrence for him.

“If I’m totally honest, I always struggle with how important it is to the individual when it happens, but how small of an effect [it is] on the whole grand scale of things,” he said. “Life is hard. Doing this for 12 years, I’ve seen 12-year-olds [turn

into] 24-year-olds [who] have two kids of their own. They’re rung out. Life is hard. At the same time they come and they smile.”

He said beginning and continuing this mission has opened his eyes.

“If you’ve never been to the developing world, there’s a real straightening out of one’s priorities,” he said. “When you come back and we’re all so consumed with so many things and so busy it’s like, ‘did you have food today?’”

Melvin Tejada, one of the founders of KHISH who lives in Honduras, said in an email what the missions mean to the people of Honduras and the group’s mission to provide medical care to people in desperate need. “[He is] a humble person with a great heart for the poor of my country,” Tejada said of Graugh in an email.

Graugh said he is just glad to be able to help in any way.

“It’s just this real minute part of improvement in their lives,” he said, “but if I can be part of that, it’s enough for me.”

Town adopts new policy to protect against dangerous dogs

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com

Photo from Matt Tuthill

A beware of dog sign outside Peter Connelly’s home in Rocky Point. He was the owner of the pit bulls involved in last summer’s attacks.

In the wake of vicious dog maulings in the area, Brookhaven Town Board voted unanimously last week to adopt a new policy that will keep a tighter leash on dangerous dogs and their owners.

“If there’s a message tonight, the message is to dog owners: watch your dogs, protect them, protect them against other pets, and be a responsible owner because if you’re not, the town is putting things in place to act as a deterrent,” Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said during the Jan. 24 town board meeting.

Under the new county code amendment, entitled “Dog Control and Animal Welfare,” which reflects the stricter state law for dealing with dangerous dogs, the definition of “dangerous dogs” has been changed to include not just dogs that attack people, as the code was previously written, but other pets or service animals as well.

147161

Now the town, or the person who was attacked, can present evidence with regard to an attack before a judge or local animal control officers.

The owners of a dog deemed dangerous who do not properly house their pets will face large fines. A first-time offender of dog attacks will now pay $500 as opposed to a previous fine of $100, and third-time offenders will pay up to $1,000, and must keep their dogs leashed, and in some cases,muzzled, when out in public.

“It’s an attempt to place the onus on the owner,” Romaine’s chief of staff Emily Pines, who worked closely with town attorneys to craft the revised law, said during the meeting. “If the dog is going to be around in the neighborhood, the owner has a responsibility to keep the neighbors and other people in the community safe.”

The new policy comes after two incidents in Rocky Point last August wherein three loose pit bulls attacked and severely injured a woman and her boxer on a beach. Just a week later, the same pit bulls jumped over a fence onto a resident’s property and killed two Chihuahuas and injured their owner.

The pit bulls, which were returned following the first attack without penalty, were later euthanized by the town.

Rocky Point resident Matt Tuthill, who lives close to where the attacks occurred, spoke in support of the stricter rules on dog owners during the public hearing on the amendments.

Since the attacks last summer, Tuthill said he and his wife keep a knife in their 9-month-old son’s stroller whenever they take a walk around the neighborhood.

“It’s a huge concern to go outside with our son, and we even stopped going outside for a while,” Tuthill said. “I don’t think anyone who takes a long hard look at the facts of what happened last summer could possibly conclude that the existing town codes did enough to deter negligent dog owners. A loose dog that’s allowed to roam a neighborhood is as much a danger to other children and pets as it is to itself.”

He asked that dog owners in opposition to the proposed policy “please support common sense.”

Colin Goldberg, another Rocky Point resident, who founded the website Brookhaven Bites directly following the attack on his neighbor’s Chihuahuas, echoed Tuthill’s call for enforcement on dog owners.

“Let’s not forget that five dogs were killed,” Goldberg said.

“If you care about the welfare of dogs, you will choose to support these changes as well as look more deeply into a real solution to this issue.”

Medford resident Rick Palomo said he’s been dealing with loose pit bulls and their negligent owners for the last few years.

A year and a half ago, two pit bulls charged up his front deck and killed his cat, which he said was handicapped and “never had a chance” against the dogs. About two months ago, one of the pit bulls attacked and pinned down another cat of his, but his son was able to save it in time.

He said that with town’s previous policy of capturing dangerous dogs and releasing them back to the owner after a small fine, the dogs are back in the streets running rampant and “terrorizing the neighborhood” within days.

“We don’t know what to do; we finally set up traps in my backyard last Friday and police came and captured the dogs,” Palomo said. “We’re doing everything by the book ... I’m afraid they’re going to kill a kid or attack somebody and really mess them up. We have to put a stop to it. I don’t want to see the dogs get killed.”

Palomo’s son, Joseph, said the pit bull owners would just laugh at the old legislation.

“It’s time to get legal action involved, they won’t listen to anybody anymore,” he said. “They said ‘Our dogs don’t bite people, they just don’t like cats,’ and that’s very evil.”

While none of the dangerous dog owners were present at the meeting to make a statement against the proposed codes, Laurette Richin, founder of Long Island Bulldog Rescue, told board members that creating strict laws is not the solution.

“I’ve been rescuing and placing bulldogs and pit bulls in [the Town of Brookhaven] for 17 years and I think people need to be responsible with each other and mind their neighborhood by reporting these things,” Richin said. “I don’t think this should be legislated more.”

In response, Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Middle Island) said that “sometimes you have to pass a law to protect people from themselves, so not only does this law emulate the state’s law but it helps protect the dog owners as well.”

The new policy will be in effect immediately.

It can be really dangerous and sad at times, but I just try to remain hopeful.”

Rachel Hunter recalled a day when her father came home from work and told her about an older man in the hospital who felt abandoned and forgotten by his kids, who never called or sent birthday cards.

“I held back tears as my dad told me he sent him a birthday card this year,” she said. “Many leave their workday trying as hard as possible to forget about the long, stressful day, but not my dad. He left work thinking ‘what else can I do? How else can I make a difference?’”

Donna Hunter, 54, said her passion for pro-

‘Just to see the look on someone’s face if you can make them feel better, even just by holding their hand ... it’s the simple things.’

viding care to neonates, infants and toddlers and emotional support and compassion for their parents and families started when she found out her own parents had full-term newborns who died soon after delivery.

She graduated from Adelphi University with a degree in nursing and received a master’s degree as a perinatal nurse practitioner from Stony Brook University. When fielding questions from people asking why she didn’t go through all her schooling to become a doctor, she says, “because I wanted to be a nurse and do what nurses do.”

“I’m one of those very fortunate people that love the career that I chose,” she said. “Every time I go to work, I’m passionate about being there, and it’s always a new adventure for me.”

Highly respected among staff for the 26 years she’s worked at St. Charles, she tends to newborns in need of specialized medical attention — from resuscitation and stabilization to rushing those born critically ill or with a heart condition to Stony Brook University Hospital.

“Babies are the most vulnerable population, but are incredibly resilient,” she said. “Babies have come back literally from the doors of death and have become healthy, and to be part of that in any small way is very satisfying.”

Maryanne Gross, the labor and delivery head nurse at St. Charles, called her “the calm

voice in the room.”

“Donna is who you want with you if you’re having an issue or in a bad situation,” Gross said. “She’s an excellent teacher and just leads you step by step on what you need to do to help the baby. She’s great to be around and I think she was born to do [this].”

Hunter has also dedicated herself to creating a better future regarding neonatal withdrawal, saying the hospital is seeing more and more babies in the Intensive Care Unit affected by their mothers’ opioid use.

She recently gave a 45-minute seminar on the subject at a chemical dependency symposium by St. Charles outlining the newborn’s symptoms, treatment options and what it means for future health. She not only wants to help the baby but also the mother, providing resources to help them recover successfully.

Even with all their accomplishments in the field, Jeffrey and Donna Hunter consider family their top priority. With three children — Jeffrey Jr., 27; Jake, 24; and Rachel — they take advantage of every opportunity they have to be together.

“It’s a juggle as to who’s working, who’s got to go to a meeting, but we make it happen,” Donna Hunter said. “We even take time to play games at our kitchen table ... a lot of families don’t do that anymore. We’re very fortunate.”

Police shine light on impact of The Ugly Truth program

By Kevin Redding Kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini updated the community last week on the success of the department’s Ugly Truth program, a county-wide initiative designed to curb opioid use through community seminars that educate parents and teens, provide treatment options to help those in need of recovery, and shine a graphic light on what these drugs do to those who take them.

The commissioner and local officials took to West Islip Public Library Jan. 25 to champion the department’s Ugly Truth program.

“It’s very important that we recognize the problem, talk about the problem clearly and intelligently, and that we provide people with the tools necessary to get their lives back on track,” Sini said at the press conference that addressed what’s being done by the police to combat the county’s rising heroin and opiates problem.

Suffolk residents who attend the seminars also learn how to administer Narcan, the life-saving drug that reverses the effects of an overdose and helped save well over 200 lives in 2016.

Sini said the epidemic has climbed in the past year, with upwards of 346 fatal opioid-related overdoses in 2016 as opposed to more than 270 fatal opioid-related overdoses in 2015.

“We need to be invested in solving this problem ... there’s no silver bullet here, we need to fight it on all fronts: on the law enforcement front, on the prevention front, on the treatment front, and recovery front,” Sini said.

Since the Ugly Truth program launched in March 2015, with an emergency medical services unit and the medical examiner’s office, 41 forums have been held with a total 3,500

participants. Nearly 700 attendees were between the ages 14 and 17; more than 3,000 have been trained to administer Narcan and 2,400 Narcan kits have been distributed.

A segment of the forum, “Operation: Medicine Cabinet,” teaches parents to make sure prescription drugs are properly disposed of to prevent their kids from rummaging through and finding anything that might be harmful. People in recovery who’ve experienced substance abuse disorders are also brought in to talk about how their addiction has affected their lives and those around them, and resources geared toward combatting addiction, including the Suffolk County Substance Abuse Hotline number, are made available.

The Suffolk County Police Department has also partnered with the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and other organizations to help overdose victims get treatment.

After an overdose, the department gives the victim’s contact information to LICADD other organizations, which — Tim Sini and then reach out to the victim about recovery options. In 2016, SCPD provided LICADD with information on 221 overdose victims; 59 of those victims were successfully contacted, and 26 of them were involved in treatment. According to officials these statistics are improving every year.

“If we don’t get personal, families suffer personally and that’s what the Ugly Truth is about,” SCPD Deputy Commissioner Risco Mention-Lewis said. “It’s to be thought of as a personal relationship with members of the bureau, communities, parents and families to say ‘we know you’re suffering, you may not even know what to look for, but we can help you stop this as soon as possible.’”

Officials said nothing hits attendees — especially young ones — harder than when

These graphic images include a side-by-side comparison of a normal heart to a yellowing deteriorated heart and frothing from the mouth and nose as a result of leaky blood vessels in the lung, both caused by opioid use.

“While these pictures are not for shock value, we are trying to scare them [teenagers] a little bit and show them some of the things we actually see in the medical exam-

iner’s office,” Suffolk County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Michael Caplan said. “I also want kids and families to know...it’s not just about the overdose; there are multiple other complications, diseases, and infections that can also be complications of addiction.”

Sini and EMS Officer Jason Byron gave a brief demonstration of Narcan training that Ugly Truth program attendees receive. While the commissioner was quick to point out that Narcan doesn’t cure drug addiction and won’t wipe out the epidemic, he said it’s a step in the right direction.

“Each life we save with Narcan is a potential story of recovery,” he said. “It’s to be administered to the overdosing person as quickly as possible so they’re still alive when first responders arrive. If you administer Narcan, you must call 911 once the person is revived.”

Dr. Scott Coyne, chief police surgeon in the SCPD, has been instrumental in implementing Narcan in the department. He said he’s pleased with how successful it’s been so far.

“There’s just a dramatic number of people that are walking around now that would never have been walking around [without Narcan],” Coyne said. “Unfortunately there is a need for this. It’s a two-edged sword. It’s a great program, but it also points out the extent of the problem.”

The commissioner expressed optimism the prevention work of the program has been effective. Even though the county saw a record amount of deaths brought on by opioids in 2016, the average age of those overdosing is higher than it’s been in the past. He said it’s suggestive that the department’s awareness is getting through to young people.

“While the numbers don’t seem to be going down, there is that one silver lining,” Sini said. “This is a long-term investment that we need to be making. We’ve made a lot of progress on the treatment front. The next frontier has to be prevention and recovery. There has been a complete acceptance now that this is an epidemic that affects all communities, all races, and all demographics.”

Breaking STEM barriers

Suffolk County Community College professor of chemistry Candice Foley has been invited to attend the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Gender Equality Congress in Berlin on June 8 and 9.

The STEM Gender Equality Congress will be attended by policymakers, equality staff, the private sector, academic staff and government representatives for two days of thought-provoking addresses, high-level panel discussions and in-depth case studies and discussions.

“Because there remains a persistent gender gap in college degrees in STEM, Suffolk’s presence at this international gender equality conference will highlight the success of our vast network of collaborations within our college, SUNY, statewide and nationally for connecting underrepresented female STEM students to educational opportunities that prepare them to compete for the highest quality jobs of today and the future,” Foley said.

She said SCCC is a crucial entry point enabling underrepresented women in STEM to bridge from the community college to the baccalaureate level, on to graduate school and into the STEM workforce.

“It is no secret that women are underrepresented in STEM fields,” said SCCC President Shaun McKay. “In 2014, nationally, only 29 percent of the bachelor’s degrees awarded to women were in science and engineering, compared with 40 percent for men, according to the National Student Clearinghouse.

Foley has been at the forefront of advancing

our college’s STEM students and programs.”

SCCC board of trustees chair, Theresa Sanders, said the college is commited to STEM programs and successes.

“Improving America’s STEM education has become a top priority across the nation,” she said. “At Suffolk, approximately 1,500 students are currently enrolled in STEM majors and the college’s STEM program has been producing award-winning students while providing summer research internships at internationally renowned facilities, including Brookhaven National Laboratory, NASA, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.”

Councilman honors Coram veteran upon retirement Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) honored John Rago of Coram, upon his retirement from Suffolk County United Veterans, where he served as outreach coordinator for the Supportive Services for Veterans Families Progam. Rago also served as the Town of Brookhaven Veterans Service officer prior to working for Suffolk County United Veterans.

Rago is a Navy veteran, serving two years on active duty, 1970 to 1972, and six years as a naval reservist. While on active duty, he served aboard nuclear submarines as a sonar technician aboard the fleet ballistic missile submarine U.S.S. Francis Scott Key and on the fast attack submarine U.S.S. Grayling.

After discharge from the Navy, Rago had a 40-year career as an appliance service technician for Westinghouse, Amana and General Electric until he retired in 2011.

He is an active member of the U.S. Submarine Veterans and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He is currently the commander of VFW Post 400 in Farmingville and serves on the veterans advisory boards of the towns of Riverhead and Brookhaven, and for U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley).

“It is an honor for me to recognize John for all he has done in support of veterans throughout the community and for his military service,” LaValle said. “Although he is now retired, I know that he will continue to be a strong advocate for veterans.”

Centereach’s virtual enterprise class after winning awards in a business competition.

Centereach business class takes home two awards Students in Centereach’s virtual enterprise class recently earned two awards for their performance in the fifth annual Virtual Enterprises International LI Business Plan Competition and Trade Show.

The Middle Country Central School District students won second place in the Best Company Apparel category and first place for Most Enthusiastic Firm.

Throughout the competition, the students presented themselves as employees of the What’s in the Box firm, which they created through the business class, and had the opportunity to sell products to consumers. The student-employees showcased the company to competing students and the firm’s administration and department presidents presented its business plan to a panel of judges.

Members of Newfield’s robotics team recently received the Tournament Champions and THINK trophies for their performance in Massapequa’s Starstruck VEX Robotics Competition.

The team, dubbed the Roverines, finished in first place in every statistical category at the competition, and won the THINK award for having the best autonomous programming out of any other participating high school. In addition, the team was also recognized as the team with the best overall record, best offensive robot, best defensive robot, best autonomous score, and largest win differential.

The Roverines competed against 34 other robots, and ultimately improved upon their score last year. This victory has earned the team a spot in the New York State VEX Robotics Championship in March.

Stony Brook student released after immigration ban President Trump’s order halts entry from seven countries, seeks to reform policy

By Victoria Espinoza and alEx pEtroski The recent executive order by President Donald Trump (R) for immigration reform affected refugees and immigrants across the country this past week, including a North Shore-bound traveler.

Trump signed an order Jan. 27 to ban travelers from seven nations — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — from entering the United States for the next 90 days.

The immigration reform effort has been met with criticism from federal legislators and activists, and protests against the ban broke out in airports and cities across the country, some starting just hours after the order was signed.

Other federal politicians and commentators support the action, citing the country’s need to strengthen immigration laws and secure the U.S. from terrorist attacks.

Stony Brook student detained

The travel ban and its hasty roll out impacted Stony Brook University president of Graduate Student Organization, Vahideh Rasekhi, who is pursuing a doctorate in linguistics.

According to a statement from university President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr., Rasekhi was detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport when she arrived back in the U.S. from a trip to Iran to visit her family, though she arrived on a layover flight from Ukraine. She was detained and later released Jan. 29. Stanley addressed Trump’s executive order, urging caution from international students, and recommending students from the seven countries listed in the order not travel outside of the U.S. unless absolutely necessary during the 90-day period.

“In November, I shared a message with the campus community expressing the university’s unwavering commitment to diversity — anchored in our strong values of access and inclusiveness — and to creating a campus environment that welcomes all,” Stanley said. “I want to reaffirm the university is resolute on this stance.”

Stanley also offered international students contact information for the university’s Visa and Immigration Services Office, and planned to host an information session with legal experts at the Wang

Center yesterday, Feb. 1.

Rasekhi, who arrived at Stony Brook in 2010 after attending the University of California and California State University, declined an interview request, but addressed her experience in an emailed statement through a university media relations representative.

“I am now grateful to be back on the Stony Brook University campus, where I plan to complete my Ph.D. dissertation and continue my work as president of our Graduate Student Organization,” she said.

“I would like to extend my sincerest thanks and appreciation to all who intervened on my behalf, including elected representatives, attorneys from the International Refugee Assistance Project and Legal Aid Society who volunteered their help, the ACLU, the [SBU] Linguistics Department and the leadership at Stony Brook University.”

Local officials react

The U.S. representative for New York’s 1st Congressional District, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), one of Trump’s local supporters, said in an email through a press representative he played a role in Rasekhi’s release from JFK, though he said he supports the order.

“I sympathize with every innocent person looking to come to America for a better life but we must prioritize America’s national security first,” Zeldin said.

He added he would support a ban on all Syrian refugees entering the U.S. until vulnerabilities in vetting systems can be improved.

“America is a nation of immigrants and people should have the opportunity to pursue the American Dream,” Zeldin said. ...

“The ultimate humanitarian victory is to assist with efforts to stabilize these nations and eliminate the threats there to peace.”

He also said he plans to monitor the application of the order and intervene in cases where he believes it is being used incorrectly.

The 3rd Congressional District U.S. representative, Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), offered no such support for the order.

“While we all are concerned about the security of our people and our nation, we cannot abandon our values,” he said in a statement. ... “This issue cannot become an excuse for discrimination. I am adamantly opposed to

‘To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban. … This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.’

— Donald Trump targeting whole populations of people based upon their religion. It is un-American.”

After the signing of the executive order Jan. 27, subsequent protests over detentions, the opinion that this order targets people based on religion and the apparent uncoordinated rollout, Trump issued a statement Jan. 29.

“America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave,” he said.

“We will keep it free and keep it safe. … To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban. … This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.”

A closer look at the order

David Sperling, an immigration attorney based out of Huntington Station, said he believes there is a need for reform.

“I’m an immigration attorney, I’ve been doing this for 22 years,” he said in a phone interview. “From being in immigration court I have seen there is a great deal of fraud even from people applying for asylum from the United States.”

He referenced a lack of documentation from refugees in areas like Syria.

Detractors of the ban have criticized the inclusion of the countries on the list — all of which have a Muslim-majority population.

According to New America, a nonpartisan think tank, “not one domestic terrorist attack since 9/11” has been executed by citizens of the seven countries now banned from entering the U.S. “Overall, terrorism in America is happening from homegrown radicals,” the think tank said. Foreign attackers have come from Egypt, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, none of which made the list.

The new administration has contended it has simply continued an initiative started by the Obama administration, which flagged the seven countries as possible areas of concern in 2015, and imposed limited restrictions.

“I’ve never in my career as an immigration attorney seen anything like this,” Sperling said, though he added many aspects of Trump’s presidency thus far are without precedent.

During the 90-day period, the president has ordered the Secretary of Homeland Security with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence to review the current information required from a country before a traveler is granted a visa or admission to the U.S. to ensure the country is not allowing in individuals who are security threats.

The executive order states the 90-day ban is needed to ensure research during this time is successful, the maximum utilization of resources are being used and adequate standards are established. The order also leaves room for special exceptions on

a case-by-case basis.

A mission of this order is to eventually implement new uniform screening standards for immigration programs.

For immigrants and refugees, there is already an extensive system process in place.

For immigration screening, according to the State Department, the process includes submitting a petition to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, submitting financial and other supporting documents, and completing an interview.

According to the White House, the refugee screening process involves multiple steps, including interviews with the United Nations refugee agency to confirm refugee status and conducting biographic security checks. While all of these steps are happening, each refugee’s file is being continuously reevaluated based on any new, relevant terrorism information.

Less than 1 percent of the global refugee population makes it past the first step in the process currently. The order also suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days, but plans to prioritize refugee claims of minority religious-based persecution in their home country.

The ban also sets a 50,000 cap on refugees allowed to enter the states in 2017, compared to the Obama administration’s goal of admitting 110,000 refugees, according to the Pew Research Institute.

The order intends to complete and implement a biometric entry-exit tracking system of fingerprints and digital photos for all travelers to the U.S. which was discussed by prior administrations and committees.

The order also intends that there will be more transparency in reporting facts and data collection to the public regarding the number of foreign nationals who planned or carried out acts of terrorism.

Sperling said most of his clientele come from Hispanic communities and are concerned about the future.

“They’re scared, they don’t know what’s going to happen,” Sperling said. “There’s a great deal of fear and uncertainty in the immigrant community.”

Shoreham grad releases song about Tom Cutinella

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Over the summer, Shoreham-Wading River graduate and singer-songwriter Gina Mingoia stepped into her father’s home studio in their garage to fulfill a promise she made to her late friend and classmate Tom Cutinella, a 16-yearold student who died in October 2014 following a head-on collision during a football game.

Months before his death, when they were both entering 11th grade, Cutinella told Mingoia, who was then in the process of auditioning for NBC’s “The Voice,” that if she ever became famous, she had to write a song about him.

More than two years later, it’s the 18-yearold singer’s heartfelt and moving “I Wish (Tom’s Song),” released last week on iTunes, Spotify and YouTube with a music video that’s reached more than 8,000 views, about Cutinella, their long friendship and the impact of his loss, that has catapulted her into the local spotlight.

Both the song, which recently hit the airSal and Gina Mingoia have performed waves on 101.7 “The Beach,” and its video, together at the Thomas Cutinella Golf Tourwhich shows Mingoia reflecting on her friend nament, a fundraising event started by Frank in several settings including the high school’s and Kelli Cutinella, Tom’s parents, and it was recently dedicated Thomas Cutinella Memo- there, in October 2016, that Mingoia shared rial Field, have served as sources of healing for the song with them. those closest to Cutinella, especially Mingoia.

“I thought they were going to say no,” she “I Wish” was the first song she wrote after said. “I thought it was going to be too invasive, the fatal accident, between December 2014 but they loved it and pushed for it. Once it and January 2015, after taking some time away was done, Mrs. Cutinella just got right up and from her passion in the midst of mourning. hugged me, for like five minutes, and said in Even though she had been trying to write my ear that he is watching and that he loved songs in the aftermath that weren’t about the it. That made me cry.” loss, she couldn’t. Finally, she sat down and Kelli Cutinella, who thinks Mingoia is “an the song came pouring out in amazing artist with a beautiful as little as 15 minutes. “I wish voice,” was especially moved.

Mingoia said. “I played the gui“She did not have to write tar and wrote it. I didn’t even this song about [Tom] ... she show my dad for a while after wrote it from her heart and ...

Mingoia shows a tattoo on her bicep that reads “I love you” in Cutinella’s handwriting, taken from a little note, featured at the end of the video, he gave to her in health class.

She said she and Cutinella, upon meeting the summer before sixth grade, were immediate friends, were always in the same science and math honors classes and even formed an “apocalyptic preparation squad” through their love of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”

“There was not a single person in the world who knew him and didn’t love him,” Mingoia said. “He was just a genuinely good person in every way.”

She thinks it’s incredible that even people who don’t know her, only knowing Cutinella, are sharing the video, a majority of whom have sent her messages sharing their favorite memories of the former Wildcats athlete.

“They’re incredible to read,” she said. “I just want people who loved Tom and need a way to remember him to use [the video]. I think our community, in particular, and all of Long Island can really relate to it.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

File photo by Alex Petroski

One of the many signs held up during Port Jeff Station’s Women’s March Jan. 21 in opposition to President Donald Trump.

Saying something is safer doesn’t mean that it is Discriminating based on religion is un-American. This statement does not suggest the editorial board is not in favor of a safer country. We just don’t see how turning away people seeking refuge from civil war, oppressive governments, or who are hoping to find a better life for their families poses a threat to America’s national security. It opposes the beliefs on which America was founded. And the current executive order for immigration reform targets people from the Islamic faith overwhelmingly, with more than 65 percent of the population in all seven countries being Muslim — and some countries reaching as high as 95 percent.

Vigorous screening processes are already in place to vet prospective entrants, and according to two think tanks — the Cato Institute and New America, founded to conduct research on public policy — exactly zero Americans have been killed by immigrants from any of the seven countries named in President Donald Trump’s (R) executive order.

Further, the order allows exemptions for people emigrating from countries where they are in the religious minority, again targeting religion. Islam is the predominant religion in all seven countries.

As we have said in the past, immigration policy in the U.S. needs to be reformed. During President Barack Obama’s (D) administration, he failed to deliver on a campaign promise to make it easier for people to come to the U.S. legally and more difficult for people to come illegally. However, as we’ve previously stated, “build a wall” is not an immigration policy, and neither is “halt immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries.”

The claim America is safer as a result is also difficult to justify. The threat of ISIS is in its ability to reach Muslims already in the U.S., and convince those in the group that they are not welcome, a task we would speculate Trump’s rhetoric and policies have made easier. As Obama frequently stated when bogged down in the wholly unproductive discussion over whether our leaders should publicly use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism,” the goal of an organization like ISIS is to manufacture a war on Islam. Policies like Trump’s immigration executive order serves as nothing more than an ISIS recruiting tool. While we applaud the effort by government to make our country safer, the execution of this latest attempt has caused chaos.

Hygiene products collected at Port Jefferson Station’s Women’s March prior to their donation to local women’s shelters.

Women’s March organizer thanks the community Thank you for covering the Long Island From Day One Sister Women’s March, held at the corner of Routes 112 and 347 in Port Jefferson Station Jan. 21. As organizer of this event, I was deeply inspired by the incredible turnout by fellow Long Islanders, including Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) and Suffolk

County Legislator Kara Hahn (DSetauket). Such turnout reflects not only the concern of thousands of us, but also the determination we have to be responsible for what happens in our country and our future. It was an amazing day, here on Long Island, and across the world. The presence of Suffolk County police officers helped to secure the success and safety

of this peaceful demonstration, which not only brought people together at this difficult time, but also resulted in the collection of over 800 signatures to engage local representatives, and filled three and a half SUV’s with hygiene products for local shelters.

Well-done Long Island!

Kathy Greene-Lahey Port Jefferson

Travel ban executive order is “un-American” “I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life …

In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.” President Ronald Reagan expressed these views during his farewell address in 1989.

How can America be the shining city on a hill when we are closing our doors to refugees, and building a wall along the southern border? Of course we all want America to be safe and we don’t want immigrants taking jobs from native-born Americans. But the

evidence suggests that immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans; no individuals from the seven recently banned countries have killed Americans for decades; and that immigration, in general, has a net positive effect on federal, state, and local budgets.

Therefore, this anti-immigrant, anti-Islamic, anti-Latino fervor being propagated by our president is not about safety or jobs; it is about discrimination on the basis of race, religion, and nationality – plain and simple. As Pope Francis said on Saturday “it’s hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.”

This past Saturday, students,

family members and loved ones from Islamic countries en-route to the U.S. were turned away at the border, strip searched, and humiliated. Why? Because of their religion and the color of their skin. This is as un-American as it gets.

Thankfully, several Republican representatives and senators broke with their own party, acknowledging this cruelty. I especially want to thank Senators John McCain (R-Arizona) and Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) for their public statement against this cruel policy. Where was our Representative, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley)? Same place he always is — behind President Trump. What a sad day to be an American and a Long Islander.

OpiniOn An inspirational tale of recovery from the volleyball court

W

e are all proud of our children.

It’s part of the perks of becoming a parent. We beam when they can walk, we celebrate what they say. We applaud their gold stars on their homework sheets, positive comments from their teachers, and their contributions to transformative musical performances that echo long in our minds.

Recently, I attended one of my daughter’s volleyball matches.

She is on a new team and I didn’t know most of the other players.

By Daniel Dunaief As soon as the first set started, it was clear that two of the girls were the leaders, covering tremendous ground to get to a

D. None of the above

ball, setting the ball from impossible distances to the net, and flying high in the air to spike a ball onto an open spot on the floor.

These two girls were inspiring their teammates with their play, even as they seemed to demand more from themselves with each set.

During the downtime between sets, parents came over to share congratulations, to offer apple slices, and to step away from the loud gym where other girls and their parents were screaming at and applauding each point.

Recognizing this will be a long season and that we’re in this together, I started chatting with several of the other parents, especially when all the children dove headlong into their cellphones during their downtime.

“My daughter is No. 7,” said a beaming woman whose daughter was about 4 inches taller than she was.

“Great,” I nodded appreciatively. “How long did it take you to drive here?”

The conversations were fairly

mundane until one of the fathers of the two stronger players shared a plug to charge his iPhone.

“Your daughter is a great player,” I acknowledged.

“Thanks,” he said with a smile.

“She’s a survivor.”

“Excuse me?” I asked.

“Yes, she had cancer when she was 1 year old. The pediatrician was doing a routine exam and found something. We sent her for tests and, sure enough, she had cancer.”

“Wow,” I said, stunned that the conversation wasn’t about the weather, if a ball was in or out in the last set, or what we should all do for dinner if we had to stay much longer.

“We went to a bunch of doctors and, finally, we decided to have surgery. Good thing we did, because it was malignant,” he offered.

She probably doesn’t remember it, I thought, because she was too young.

“She actually got cancer again when she was 6, and had to have surgery and chemo when they found

out it was malignant again,” he said.

“She’s recovered well,” I admired.

She isn’t particularly tall, but she flies around the court, setting the ball from almost any angle without ever seeming to tire.

“Oh, yeah, well, she goes for testing regularly now, just to be sure,” he said.

She volunteers at a hospital where other children have cancer.

She encourages other children and tells them that she knows how they feel. When they seem to doubt it, she shows them a copy of a picture in his wallet of his two daughters when they were 8 and 6. The older girl towers over the younger one, who is impossibly thin and bald.

Looking into this father’s face, I could see that he wasn’t only proud of the difficult journey his daughter had taken but he was inspired. So, too, as it turns out is someone else in the family.

“Yeah,” he said with a nod. “It’s why her older sister is now going to school to become a nurse.”

Paraprosdokians anyone?

T

hese paraprosdokians were culled from the internet and intended to give you a chuckle.

A paraprosdokian is a form of wordplay where the latter part of a sentence is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part.

The effect is frequently humorous.

Some examples: 1. Where there’s a will, I want to be in it.

Between you and me

By Leah S. Dunaief

2. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

3. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

6. They begin the evening news with “Good evening,” then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.

7. To steal ideas from someone is plagiarism. To steal from many is called research.

8. In filling in an application, where it says, “In case of emergency, notify,” I put “doctor.”

9. I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

10. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they look sexy.

11. Behind every successful man is his woman.

Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.

12. A clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory.

13. I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not so sure.

4. War does not determine who is right — only who is left.

14. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. Nor is there any future in it.

5. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

15. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

16. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

17. Finally: I’m supposed to respect my elders, but it’s getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

18. The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

19. Two guys walked into a bar. The third one ducked.

20. A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don’t need it.

21. Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but has to check when you say the paint is wet.

22. Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

And my personal favorite: 23. I am not arguing with you, I am explaining why you are wrong.
