Newfield High School students recently participated in the Medical Marvels competition — a program established by Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and the Center for Workforce Readiness.

Students Gary Palmeri, Leslie Bardales and Raja Umer conducted the research and were joined by fellow student Dom Mauri for a presentation of their findings on the vaping usage

of teenagers. Their research included the health effects of vaping, nicotine addiction and an action plan to eliminate vaping use among their peers.

Now in its seventh year, the Medical Marvels competition is designed to provide Long Island students with the chance to explore subject areas of STEM in a more comprehensive way and showcase STEM’s multidisciplinary career options.

Library fun

Babies, toddlers and preschoolers came to the Great Playdate at Middle Country Public Library to talk, sing, read and play at the library March 30. Little ones rode on the scooter highway, played in the little ball pit and Nature Explorium and explored the library.

The Great Playdate is an early learning initiative created by the Public Libraries of Suffolk County and the Suffolk Cooperative Library System. The mission of the Great Playdate is to offer a day for the library’s youngest patrons and their caregivers to experience the importance of talking, singing, reading and, of course, playing at libraries.

Middle Country robotics teams to compete in prestigious world competition

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM For the members of the Centereach and Newfield high school robotics teams, they have spent months and countless hours building and perfecting their robots in hopes of getting to their ultimate goal they set out at the start of the season. After both teams performed well at Southern New York State VEX Championships earlier this month, the duo has earned a spot in the VEX World Championships taking place April 24-27 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Nicholas Parrinello, Centereach Cougears Robotics adviser and technology teacher, said it all comes down to the student involvement.

“It is not a mentor- or teacher-built robot — it’s all them,” he said. “They come up with the design, test them and make sure it performs well.”

The second iteration of the CHS robotics club/team has been around for the past three years, and Parrinello said this has been the team’s best year culminating in the team being a semi-finalist at the state championship in March.

“To see your name on the screen in second place is a big deal,” he said. “It makes the time you put in worth it — it’s fulfilling.”

Cory Fitzgerald, Newfield Roverines Robotics adviser and technology teacher, said for his students it’s more than a club to them, it’s a culture that they get into and something they want to get better at.

“We had a very young team this year,” the NHS robotics adviser said. “We thought this would be a rebuilding year but we came in and did really well.”

The Roverines won the state championship in 2017 and 2018, and this is the third time the team will go to the world championship.

Returning and new team members had some big shoes to fill after a majority of the team left for graduation.

Fitzgerald said initially in the beginning of the season the team didn’t fare too well in its first competition, getting eliminated in the semi-final. For some members of the team this was the first taste of defeat as up until that point they had never lost a competition, and they had made it to the finals of every competition they had been to in the past four years.

“It was a wake-up call for some of these students,” he said. “They came back to this room and disassembled the robots right down to the base and built another one from scratch.”

To the team’s credit, they bounced back winning, its next two regional competitions.

“The students have really progressed this year,” he said.

Team members of both teams reflected on their accomplishment and journey to get to Worlds.

“It’s exciting. It’s only our third year and its rewarding [to get to Worlds] after going through so much,” Victoria Heffern, president of the Centereach robotics team, said.

The CHS senior said when they first formed the team everything was new to them, and they were testing the waters and gaining experience. The team got better in their second year and they built on that coming into this season.

“It’s amazing how far we’ve come,” 11thgrader team member Kumpu Ide said.

Team member Erik Swanson said everyone spends a lot of time working on the robots trying to make it the best they can.

“We have shown to the district what we can do and what we are capable of,” the 11thgrader said. “It has allowed us to do more things. Without their support I don’t think we would be able to do what we are doing now.”

This year’s VEX robotics competition challenge is called Turning Point. The game is played on a 12’ x 12’ square field and there are two alliances, one red and one blue, that make up two teams each. The alliances compete in matches consisting of a 15-second autonomous period, followed by a twominute, driver-controlled portion.

The goal of the game is to get the highest score than the opposing alliance, and they score points by completing a number of tasks including shooting balls at a colored flag, flipping caps to their designated color and ROBOTICS CONTINUED ON A4

Continued from A3 climbing on a platform.

Carlie Flanagan, president of the Newfield robotics team said the team is looking forward to the upcoming competition.

“It’s a great experience,” the team president said. “It’s a competition, and we take it seriously, but we also try to have fun. There are a lot of teams that go once, but we are really lucky that we’ve been able to go the past three years.”

Kevin Swayze, lead builder and driver for the team, said it can get nervewracking sometimes during the elimination rounds in events, but it also builds confidence and he believes it’s a good experience overall.

“It’s really great. You meet people from different states and

countries,” he said. “It’s fun, and it’s something you don’t get exposed to often.”

in the club has increased their interest in robotics, engineering and programming. Also, it has opened doors for them in their pursuit for a potential career down the line.

“A lot of the kids in the club have an interest and want to pursue it,” Parrinello said. “It is very fulfilling for me to see students excel.”

The CHS teacher said when students start in 9th grade, they are kind of green, and he tries to push them in a direction beginning with showing them the basic fundamentals of building a robot.

“People graduate, and the next class comes in there’s always those couple of kids that are really interested in it and that’s what I look for,” he said. “You look for the students that are inventive.”

Fitzgerald expressed similar sentiments saying he has a great group of students and a lot of them have a passion of going into the robotics field as well.

“By being here they are getting hands-on experience, learning how to write code and build robots,” he said.

Both Heffern and Flanagan plan on attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the fall to study robotics. CHS senior Aidan Donnelly plans on creating a VEX robotics team at his college.

The returning members on both teams hope to expand the club and team in the coming years “We want to expand the program and possibly have multiple teams, so everyone can get hands-on experience,” CHS 11thgrader Ide said.

NHS team member Jackson Mazer said around 50 students expressed interest in the club this past year. A majority of them were freshmen.

“One of our goals [in the beginning of the season] was to make it to this competition. Now all of our goals is to go further and maybe win this thing,” CHS 11th-grader Swanson said.

State

Governor delivers Long Island budget to local crowd Cuomo lauds LIRR reform, hints at renewable energy initiatives

BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) unveiled April 11 his Long Island agenda to a crowd of some 400 politicians, business leaders, local residents and students at Stony Brook University’s Student Activities Center. It was one of two stops statewide, where the governor personally highlighted regional spending for a local community.

Overall, the $175 billion fiscal year 2020 budget holds spending at 2 percent.

“This year’s budget builds on our progress and our momentum on Long Island, and it includes $18 billion for Long Island — the largest amount of money the state has ever brought back to the region, and we’re proud of it,” Cuomo said.

Nearly half of the revenue that Long Island receives goes toward school aid and Medicaid, $3.3 billion and $6.9 billion collectively, according to Freeman Klopott in New York State’s Division of the Budget. But the spending plan funds several bold initiatives, such as an overhaul of the MTA and Long Island Rail Road and the phase in of free public college tuition for qualified students.

Long Island Association president and CEO Kevin Law, who had introduced the governor, suggests looking at the enacted budget as five distinct categories: taxes, infrastructure, economic development, environmental protection and quality of life issues, such as gun safety reform.

On the tax front, Long Islanders, according to the governor’s report, pay some of the highest property tax bills in the United States. Over the last 20 years, Cuomo said, local property taxes rose twice as fast as the average income.

“You can’t continue to raise taxes at an amount that is more than people are earning,” he said. His goal is to stabilize the tax base.

On the federal level, the governor will continue to fight with other states the federal tax code, which last year limited taxpayers’ ability to deduct state and local taxes over $10,000 from their federal income tax returns. Long Island reportedly lost $2.2 billion.

Otherwise, the governor considers his plan to be the most ambitious, aggressive and comprehensive agenda for Long Island ever.

The budget’s regional development goals emphasize a commitment to Long Island’s research triangle: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Northwell Health, Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The governor envisions the Island as New York’s potential economic equivalent

to California’s Silicon Valley. The objective is to bridge academic research with commercial opportunities.

Some of the largest investments include $75 million for a medical engineering center at Stony Brook University, $25 million to Demerec Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor, $12 million for a new college of veterinary medicine at Long Island University Post, $5 million in additional research investments at Stony Brook University and $200,000 cybersecurity center at Hofstra University.

“Governor Cuomo’s presentation was uplifting,” said state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket). “It was also a preview of the future of Long Island as an indelibly important part of the state the governor and Legislature appreciate and are continuing to invest into.”

Offshore wind initiatives will be announced in the spring, with a goal of providing 9,000 megawatts of wind power by 2035. As part of Cuomo’s New Green Deal, the state target is 100 percent clean energy by 2040.

Highlights of Gov. Cuomo’s 2019-20 budget for Long Islanders

Taxes: Permanently limits local tax spending to 2 percent annually. The 2 percent property tax cap, first implemented in 2012, has reportedly saved Long Island taxpayers $8.7 billion. Now that the property tax cap has become permanent, the governor reports that the average Suffolk taxpayer will save an estimated $58,000 over the next 10 years. The budget also supports the phase in of middle-class tax cuts. By 2025, under the reforms, middle-class filers will save up to 20 percent income tax rate and impact 6 million filers.

Internet taxation: Requires internet purchases to charge sales tax to fairly compete with brick-and-mortar retail establishments. This reform is expected to raise sales tax revenue by $33 million for Suffolk County in 2019.

LIRR reforms: Dedicates $2.5 billion to the Long Island Rail Road. $734 million will be used to purchase 202 new trains, $47 million will fund the Ronkonkoma train storage expansion project, which adds 11 tracks to the railyard. Another $264 million is allocated to reconfiguring and rebuilding the Jamaica station. An additional 17 stations will also be upgraded. A third track will be added between Hicksville and Floral Park to address bottlenecking. Many projects are already underway and expected to be completed by 2022.

The new LIRR Moynihan Train Hall will

become an alternative to Penn Station in New York City. It will be located in the old post office building. Construction is underway with completion targeted for the end of 2020.

The cost is $2.5 billion with $600,000 million allocated for 2020. A new LIRR entrance at mid-block between 33rd Street and 7th Avenue will also be built at a price tag of $425 million.

School aid: Increases school aid to $3.3 billion, a nearly 4 percent uplift. The 2020 budget includes a $48 million increase of foundation aid.

College tuition: Funds tuition-free education in public colleges to qualified students, whose families earn less than $125,000 annually.

The program annually benefits more than 26,100 full-time undergraduate residents on Long Island.

The DREAM Act: Offers $27 million to fund higher education scholarships for undocumented children already living in New York state.

Higher education infrastructure: Spends $34.3 million for maintenance and upgrades at SUNY higher education facilities on Long Island.

Downtown revitalization: Awards Ronkonkoma Hub with $55 million for a downtown revitalization project. Nassau County will receive $40 million to transform a 70-acre parking lot surrounding Nassau

Coliseum into a residential/commercial downtown area with parkland, shopping and entertainment, where people can live and work. Hicksville, Westbury and Central Islip will also receive $10 million each to revitalize its downtowns.

Roads and bridges: Among the initiatives, $33.6 million will be used toward the Robert Moses Causeway bridge. Safety will be enhanced with guardrails along Sunken Meadow Parkway for $4.7 million. The Van Wyck Expressway is also under expansion for improved access to JFK air terminals.

Health care: Adds key provisions of the Affordable Care Act to state law, so health insurance is protected if Washington repeals the law.

Plastic bag ban: Prohibits most single-use plastic bags provided by supermarkets and other retailers beginning in March 2020. Counties and cities can opt to charge 5 cents for paper bags. It is projected that 40 percent of revenue generated will fund local programs that purchase reusable bags for low- and fixed-income consumers.

The other 60 percent will fund the state’s environmental protection projects.

Food waste recycling program: $1.5 million will be allocated to establish a clean GOV. BUDGET CONTINUED ON A7

Lawrence Aviation CEO ordered to pay millions by federal court Superfund cleanup operation goes into its 19th year

The former CEO of Lawrence Aviation in Port Jefferson, Gerald Cohen, has been ordered to pay $48 million in cleanup costs for the toxic underground plume caused by materials leached into the ground from the now-defunct airplane parts manufacturer.

The U.S. Attorney’s office announced the charges April 15 after a district court judge e Story of Nathan Hale, in ThCentral Islip ruled Lawrence Aviation Benjamin Tallmadge Industries, Inc, a former & the Origin of The Culper Spies defense contractor that was based on Sheep Pasture Road, and its longtime owner and CEO, Gerald Cohen, were liable for environmental cleanup costs.

“This case and the significant monetary penalties imposed by the court should serve as a warning to would-be polluters, including individuals, that this office and the [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] will use every tool at their disposal to protect Long Island’s groundwater and to ensure that those responsible for contamination will foot the bill for cleanup costs,” said Richard Donoghue, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

The U.S. Attorney’s office detailed Cohen’s wrongdoing based on the court’s 37-page memorandum. In the early 1980s, after the Suffolk County Department of Health issued a series of recommendations for LAI to come into compliance with various pollution control laws, LAI used a front-end loader to crush 55-gallon drums containing hazardous substances, among more than 1,600 of such drums identified on the property, resulting in a massive discharge of waste directly onto the ground. Samples taken from those drums revealed impermissibly high levels of trichloroethylene, among other pollutants.

Nearly two decades later, in 1999, testing performed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation revealed contamination of groundwater and surface

water at the site.

In a statement to the U.S. Attorney’s office, the regional EPA administrator said he was pleased with the court’s decision.

“This judgment provides for the reimbursement of money spent on cleanup work and imposes penalties that act as a deterrent,” said EPA regional administrator Pete Lopez. “Our active engagement and work at this site will continue over the long term.”

Various creditors have asserted claims against LAI and Cohen properties based on their respective liens. Those claims remain pending before the court. The 126-acre property was named a Superfund site in 2000 and was expected to take 20 years to complete the cleanup.

The EPA’s cleanup of the site, now into its 19th year, has included a remedial investigation into the nature and scope of the contamination, various hazardous waste removal and stabilization activities, and the implementation and maintenance of two groundwater treatment systems designed to capture and treat contaminated groundwater, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office. The EPA’s activities at the LAI site have resulted in a decrease in the size of the groundwater TCE plume and the removal of more than 18,000 tons of soil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls, among other hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials.

In 2008, Cohen and LAI pleaded guilty to violating the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, for storing hazardous wastes at the LAI facility without a permit issued by the EPA or New York State. Cohen was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of one year and a day, and supervised release of 36 months. He and LAI were ordered to pay restitution to the EPA of $105,816.

first “red flag” laws. Passed in February 2019, the law enables the courts to seize firearms from people who show signs of violent behavior or pose a threat to themselves or others. The new

law, which takes effect later this year, also authorizes teachers and school professionals to request through the courts mental health evaluations for people who exhibit disturbed

behavior related to gun violence. Bans bump stocks. Extends background check waiting period for gun purchases.

Anti-gang projects: Invests more than $45 million to stop MS-13 gang recruitment and improve youth opportunities.

Opioid crisis: Allocates $25 million to fund 12 residential, 48 outpatient and five opioid treatment programs. The state also aims to remove insurance barriers for treatment.

Tourism: Promotes state agricultural products with $515,000 allocated to operate Taste NY Market at the Long Island Welcome Center with satellite locations at Penn Station and East Meadow Farm in Nassau County.

The PGA Championship next month and Long Island Fair in September, both at Bethpage, will also feature New York agricultural products.

Agriculture: Continues support for the New York State Grown & Certified program to strengthen consumer confidence and assist farmers. Since 2016, the program has certified more than 2,386 farms.

While acknowledging the ban would be good for the environment, she said the cost is something a lot of entrepreneurs will have to deal with. The employee also hopes as the demands for these paper goods increase eventually the prices will go down and manufacturers will make it more cost effective.

Other businesses have been using alternatives to polystyrene containers. Setauket Pita House said it doesn’t use Styrofoam food containers and

currently uses aluminum foil containers.

Officials also passed a third bill that would prohibit the sale of single-use plastic cups, utensils and beverage straws from county beaches and parks.

Last month, the Legislature approved a companion bill that would replace existing water fountains with new ones designed to allow bottle filling at county facilities and countyowned parks that have water dispensers.

The bills will now go to the county executive’s office to be signed into law.

Local businesses react to new county plastics ban

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Come January next year, Suffolk residents will likely be slurping down their iced coffees using paper straws, instead of the usual plastic.

As Suffolk lawmakers passed bills aimed at reducing plastic and polystyrene waste in the county April 9, food business owners will need to begin the process of adjusting to the new restrictions on plastic straws and polystyrene, more commonly known as Styrofoam, food service products.

As per the new bill, food establishments would be required to provide straws and stirrers by request only, and they would have to be biodegradable — not plastic. For customers with a disability or medical condition, plastic straws will be made available by request.

“The scale of the worldwide single-use plastics problem has become an ever-increasing threat to our environment and everything that relies on it, including human health,” said Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). “The plastics crisis is more urgent than people realize.”

Some businesses in Suffolk County have already made the switch over to biodegradable options. Local’s Cafe in Port Jeff doesn’t use plastic straws and stirrers, and only uses paper goods, while Soul Brew in St. James said they switched over to paper goods at the end of last summer.

Constantinos Drepaniotis, co-owner of the Setauket Village Diner, said he and others have advocated for the environment and said the bans are quite a big step in right direction.

Drepaniotis’ diner hasn’t used Styrofoam food

service products for close to two years and has begun reaching out to vendors for plastic straw alternatives. He has considered distributing reusable straws to his customers as well.

While the price of these alternatives has concerned business owners, the restaurant owner said it is business’ responsibility to be proactive and help in this environmental cause.

The owner said he will not let the cost affect the business and it will adapt.

The Styrofoam bill would bar businesses from using items such as cups, trays and containers that are made from polystyrene, as well as ban retail stores from selling those products. It will require businesses in the county to use biodegradable products, though the bill would exempt items used to store uncooked eggs, raw meat, seafood and poultry. Changes would take effect Jan. 1, 2020.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services classified styrene as a potential human carcinogen and, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, polystyrene manufacturing process is the fifth largest creator of hazardous waste in the United States. “[Styrene has] recently been upgraded from a possible carcinogen to a probable carcinogen — a cancer causing chemical,” Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said at a Feb. 13 press conference advocating for the bills.

“Long Island has some of the highest cancer rates in the country.”

An employee from Tiger Lily Café in Port Jefferson said she dislikes plastic straws and hopes the new ban will potentially get people to bring their own reusable straws, mentioning

Tigers pounce Cougars

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Northport boys baseball team had an explosive first inning, scoring seven runs against Centereach, but the Tigers bats fell silent for the next five innings, allowing the Cougars to chip away at the deficit. At the end of five, Centereach made it a one-run game, but Northport dropped the hammer in the bottom of the sixth, batting in six more runs to put the game away 13-6 April 11. The Tigers took the third game of the three-game series at home besting Centereach 2-1.

Reform school taxes

Dear friends and followers of the Elaine DiMasi 2018 Congressional campaign in New York: With excitement and also sadness, I would like to let you know that I am leaving our Long Island community for a new job in California.

Specifically, I will be joining the leadership team for a $358M upgrade project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. After more than 20 years as a scientist and project leader in the national laboratory system, I am delighted to be joining terrific people and ready to return to the work I know best.

Yet, this means saying farewell to so many of the wonderful connections I’ve made in our community here and to the chance of public service in elected office.

My political mission in the future will be to help other scientists do an even

Editorial

Suffolk County homeowners pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation, with a typical bill estimated at $8,926. In New York City, the average property tax bill is $4,822 and across the United States it’s $3,018. Those are New York State’s numbers. It’s clear to everyone that the property tax burden has become unbearable on Long Island. It’s driving people away, impacting family budgets, and for homes that bear above average taxes, home values are plummeting.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said during an April 11 budget presentation at Stony Brook University that he recognizes the problem. He’s made it law that schools and communities in the state must limit budget increases to 2 percent. It will help … to a degree.

He and other states have joined hands to lobby the president and congressional leaders to reinstate the state and local tax reduction write-off for federal income taxes. A bipartisan bill was introduced this week by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) to reinstate the deduction. If it passes, that will also help … to a degree.

But these measures are merely band-aid solutions to a larger, chronic problem: income inequality. The tax burden has shifted from corporations and the wealthy to middle and lower classes.

If state leaders want to help Long Island residents make ends meet, major changes need to take place, mainly in the way primary education is funded. Property taxes are largely used to fund local school districts. Local control is good, but the disparities from one community to the next indicate the problem.

A simple Google search shows that in Southampton, for example, a six-bedroom home, built in 2006 that sits on 1.73 acres, is on the market for $2.6 million, with taxes totaling $6,458. In Kings Park, a two-bedroom home, built in 1960, situated on 0.13 of an acre, lists for $265,000, but incurs more property taxes: $7,056.

New York needs a better system.

In his budget speech, Cuomo got it right when he said if you don’t have it, you can’t pay for it. But governor has curiously not stepped in to help the Town of Huntington, which is facing legal proceedings with LIPA and National Grid. LIPA and National Grid want to reduce the tax burden on the Northport power plant by 90%. LIPA is a state entity created in 1997, when the state bailed out LILCO and its failed Shoreham nuclear project. Since then, LIPA has been reimbursing National Grid for its power plant’s property taxes. This case most dramatically impacts the Northport-East Northport School District and the 35,000 residents who live there.

A Boston Globe article from 2014 reports that National Grid’s CEO saw a 50% salary increase from $5 million to $7.8 that year. That was just four years after LIPA and National Grid filed its tax certiorari case against the Town of Huntington..

Long Island taxpayers need major reform to alleviate and more equitably distribute the property tax burden.

A goodbye to primary supporters and LI better job of running for office than my team and I were able to do. The voice and perspective of a trained scientist can do a world of good as part of a diverse legislative body.

At the same time, a scientist often works at state and federal institutions, prohibiting a campaign. Scientists often do not hold jobs suitable for part-time hours or for repeated lengthy work stops.

These obstacles can be overcome. And I have quite a few things to say about how our strategy should differ from the advice offered to candidates from other walks of life.

To begin this mission, my team is preparing a video based on a talk invited by the Graduate Student Women in Science and Engineering at Stony Brook University last November. This video will be posted soon at www.elainedimasi.

Before my dog Cozy and I make our drive across the country, please feel welcome to meet up at our VERY informal going-away party. We’ll be enjoying snacks and conversation — amid a chaos of packed boxes — at my home in Ronkonkoma, Saturday, April 20 beginning at 3 p.m. See www. elainedimasi.com/events for details.

Thanks again from the bottom of my heart for all you do.

Elaine DiMasi Former District 1 congressional primary candidate

More to blame in Yemen bombing The blame-America-first crowd is alive and well, this time in the person of Myrna Lee Gordon and her pacifist friends in the North Country Peace Group. [TBR News Media newspapers letter March 28.] The United States, we are told, shares the blame for the deaths of 40 children in Yemen, because Saudi Arabia used a bomb manufactured by Lockheed Martin to destroy the bus in which they were riding. No criticism, of course, is directed toward the Saudis, their government or their flight crews.

No one claims that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an ideal partner in this troubled world. The recent assassination of Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi embassy in Turkey was a terrible and unforgivable crime, for which no one has yet been held accountable.

Fifteen of the 19 September 11 hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi record with respect to human rights is deplorable and is condoned by no American citizen. And yet, despite these extremely disturbing shortcomings, which no one seeks to minimize, our government has found it necessary to form an alliance with

Saudi Arabia, because it is in our best interest as a nation to do so. The prime reason for this decision is to reinforce the balance of power in the Middle East, in which the nation of Iran is our leading adversary. Such an alliance is not without precedent. In World War II, for example, our allies included the Soviet Union, with whom we formed a coalition because we had a common purpose in defeating Nazi Germany and the Third Reich, in spite of the atrocities committed by Joseph Stalin with the intentional starvation of millions of Ukrainian civilians.

President Franklin Roosevelt was correct in 1940 when he asserted that the United States was the “arsenal of democracy.” Today, Saudi Arabia is clearly not a democracy. The Saudis are, however, our military allies, and it is in our best national interest to see to it that they, along with our greatest Middle Eastern ally, Israel, maintain the strongest possible military presence in that troubled part of the world. Pursuant to this objective, we provide substantial military assistance to both of these countries. Part of this

support includes a number of laserguided MK82 bombs, manufactured

by Lockheed Martin. These weapons are designed to be delivered to their intended targets with pinpoint precision, as was clearly demonstrated during our successful actions against ISIS, the Islamist terrorist organization that has now been defeated.

It is unfortunate that one of these weapons was misused by another country, with tragic results. It is also unfortunate that the pacifists among us miss no opportunity to denigrate the armed forces of the United States, along with its commander in chief, President Donald Trump (R), our fine congressional representative, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), and a leading member of the arsenal of democracy, the great Lockheed Martin Corp. It would be wonderful indeed if the North Country Peace Group would express some degree of appreciation on behalf of the lives of potential victims of Iran, ISIS and other terrorist groups that we have saved, but that would surely be too much to ask.

The equivalent of a literary eye roll

W

hen we want to use a pronoun to refer to a deity, we use a capital letter out of respect, so that even if we’re writing about His will, we use the capital “H” in the middle of a sentence. For some, of course, the capital letter could also represent a female deity, as in, I thought I would get the job, but, apparently, She had other D. None plans for me.

That’s so wonof the above derfully deferential

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF that it shows that only supreme beings merit such grammatical greatness.

But what about all the people we can’t

stand, whose ideas are ruining our day or, gasp, our country?

We have long used symbols or faux letters, like an asterisk (*) to take the place of a letter or words we all know, so that we might write, “What the **** was he thinking when he cut me off for a parking spot at the supermarket?”

Nowadays, though, I think the politics of personal animus requires more than a few letter abbreviation or a casual dismissal. We need the equivalent of a literary eye roll, which can show a level of antipathy and disrespect befitting the lack of humanity, the utter depravity or the absolute inanity that defines someone’s actions or words that make us grind our teeth or snarl in frustration.

How about a super lower-case first letter of a pronoun, to make it clear that we don’t just disagree with someone, but we find that person so frustrating, evil, despicable, irritating and/ or ridiculous that the person doesn’t merit a customary human pronoun? Perhaps we need

a symbol that does the graffiti equivalent of writing that person’s name and spray painting an “X” or a thumbs-down sign over it.

Instead of referring to the person people either love, hate or love to hate, as he or him, we could use a diminutive placeholder for the personal pronoun, like *e seems poised to start another war to satisfy his ego, or *is idea so completely lacked substance that it’s hard to argue with *im when *e hasn’t read any intelligence reports.

On the other side, we might see a nemesis as unworthy of a typical pronoun, arguing that *he is preventing this great country from marching forward or *er ideas seem rooted in the word “no.”

But, of course, this doesn’t have to be limited to the power elite in Washington, D.C. It can refer to anyone, allowing us to alter the personal pronoun in a way that underscores our distaste for the idea, the person, or *is or *er actions.

Let’s say we’re watching a Little League game and a mother, father, grandparent or just random fan comes by and heckles an umpire.

That seems so utterly absurd that, in the retelling, we might want to point out how *is words set the wrong example, or *he made me throw up in my mouth.

When we’re tapping out a text message to our friends, we might share our disgust that *he had the nerve to ask me if *er choice to date my best friend was OK. We might realize that this person seemed eager to train *er dog to use my lawn as a bathroom or that *e was telling me how to live my life when *e apparently has no idea how to live *is.

These super lower-case pronouns can allow us to vent in code to our family and friends.

We might suggest that *e is driving me crazy.

If *e actually read the email or text, *e might have no idea that the subject of this diminutive pronoun is, in fact, *im.

‘The British are coming! The British are coming!’ Not really.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year.

So begins Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride,” about the famous midnight gallop that happened 244 years ago. The poem was first published in The Atlantic Monthly on January 1861, and I dutifully learned the first lines as a young student. As a result, every April Between 18 I think of Paul you and me Revere.

Who, exactly

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF was Paul Revere?

I know that he was a talented silversmith because I have seen some of his work, starting with teapots and

engravings, at antique shows. I also assumed that Revere was an ardent colonialist, hanging out with the likes of Samuel Adams and John Hancock, to whom he rode through the night in Concord to warn them of imminent capture by the British troops. That was about it until I did a little research, and here is what I found.

Revere was born in Boston on either Dec. 21, 1734, or Jan. 1, 1735, depending on different calendar conversions. That still makes him 40 years old that famous night. His father was Apollos Rivoire, a French Huguenot immigrant who had come on his own at the age of 13 to the New World and eventually married Deborah Hitchborn, the Boston-born daughter of an artisan and wharf-owning family (whose last name was also spelled Hichborn and Hitchbourn). Revere, the third of 12 children, attended school from age 7 through 13 and then learned the silversmithing trade. He was married twice, having been widowed in 1773 and remarried that same year, which means he was little more than a newlywed the night of the ride.

In addition to his work with silver, Revere did some dentistry to augment his income. He participated in the Boston Tea Party, during

which Bostonians threw tea into Boston Harbor from the holds of ships anchored there to protest against parliamentary taxation without representation.

The colonists were increasingly angered by severe taxes imposed on them by their mother country to help repay the considerable debt Britain had incurred from fighting the French and Indian War. Revere, as a rider for Boston’s Committee on Safety, had devised a system of signals with lanterns to communicate the whereabouts of the British soldiers. Hence that night, the message was, “One, if by land, two, if by sea.” In a sense, Revere was Boston’s first media man.

With others, he was aware that the British troops might shortly be on the move because on April 16, 1775, he rode out to Concord, Massachusetts, to urge the patriots there to move their military stores to a different location.

On the night of April 18, Dr. Joseph Warren told Revere and William Dawes that the king’s troops were about to embark in boats from Boston to go to Cambridge, and from there to Lexington and Concord by road that night.

Beauty, and waited on the far bank of the Charles River for the signal from the steeple of the Old North Church. Revere and Dawes made the ride from different locations should one of them be blocked from leaving Boston.

Revere, however, had the benefit of a distinguished publicist, Longfellow, who honored him accordingly. Also left out of the story was Dr. Samuel Prescott, who rode on to Concord after Revere was captured by a British patrol in Lexington. Revere soon escaped, while Dawes lost his horse and had to walk back to Lexington. But Prescott made it through to carry the warning.

Revere and the others surely did not yell, “The British are coming!” despite tales to the contrary. They were, in the final analysis, all British. They probably said, “The redcoats are coming!” and they surely didn’t yell since British troops were stationed throughout the countryside. Such is the mystique of history.

But “that famous day and year,” we know from ensuing battles, is true and to be celebrated this day.
