TOWN

Community members run to support Centereach farm BY KYLE BARR For Ann Pellegrino, the founder of Bethel Hobbs Community Farm in Centereach which donates 90 percent of its locally grown vegetables to area food pantries, the mission hits close to home. “Years ago I was a single mother with three kids working two different jobs, and I’ve had to go to food pantries a couple times,” she said. “But when you go to the typical food pantry, you get boxed stuff, stuff that doesn’t have any nutrients, stuff that doesn’t have any vitamins in it, it’s just stuff to fill your belly.” Because the mission is so important to her, when government funds ran dry, she needed help.

Brookhaven Town Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) stepped in with an idea to host a local race to bring the community together while helping to raise funds for the farm. LaValle called for help from Suffolk County Legislator Tom Muratore (R-Ronkonkoma) and Hobbs Farms volunteers and the annual Run the Farm Four-Mile Challenge was born. Now in its third year, more than 200 runners of all strengths and abilities came out on a warm, humid day Aug. 19 to support the farm. In total, more than $7,500 was raised. “This is the last remaining farm in Centereach — It’s not only a part of our history but an active part of our history,” LaValle said. “You have kids 5, 6 years old, you have college kids, high school kids, seniors that are out there volunteering. It brings so many people together in this community for a great cause.” The runners lined up at the start in front of the Oxhead Road Elementary School and waited for the horn. Their route took them in a loop that ended on the west side of the farm where they were greeted by cheering family members, friend and volunteers. Tall yellow sunflowers and green vegetables could be seen growing beyond the archway to the farm and a sign saying “Love Grows Here.” “I was remarried and I was able to step back a little bit because people were there for me,” Pellegrino said. “I wanted to give back to people stuff that wasn’t just packaged.” The volunteers at Bethel Hobbs farm are often community members, with a handful of student volunteers from Suffolk County Com-

He strode across the finish line with a body and face streaming with sweat, and he gladly took the water bottle from a volunteer’s outstretched hand. Rau grew up in the community and

graduated from Centereach High School. “It’s my second time here; I was here last year,” he said. “I think it’s a great event, it’s the local community here. I live a mile away so I run here and then I just run home.” The run was sponsored by several groups, including a few large-scale food chains like Whole Foods and ShopRite. A group of 21 employees from the Selden ShopRite showed up to support the event. “The farm is vital to the infrastructure of the island and Middle Country, and we’re very fortunate to have it,” said Charles Gallagher, the owner of the Selden ShopRite. “We need to make sure we continue to support it, it’d be a real shame if it went away.”

Citizen scientists watch eclipse, help collect data at Maritime Explorium BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM Inquiring minds of all ages arrived at the Maritime Explorium in Port Jefferson Aug. 21 to witness an extremely rare total solar eclipse — or Totality 2017 as some are calling it — the likes of which hadn’t happened in North America since the 1970s, or been visible from coast to coast in almost a century. They were greeted not only with the breathtaking once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon, but with another: Hundreds of observers turned citizen journalists helping to accumulate scientific data to be used by researchers across the country, most of whom were barely old enough to ride in the front seat of a car, let alone drive one. “I’ve heard a lot about it so it’s kind of incredible to be able to look and see it,” said Bella Fantauzzi, an 11-year-old from East Islip who made the trip to Port Jeff’s haven for youngsters interested in science on the historic day with her family. “I don’t know how to describe it. Something like this happens, this event, this widespread — my mom said I’m going to be in my 50s when I see [a countrywide eclipse] this happen again, so that’s incredible.” The event attracted about 200 guests during the course of the day. Attendees were given eclipse glasses until the supply ran out, though anyone interested in observing the happening was welcome to share with other onlookers. Around the grounds of Harborfront Park outside of the Explorium, representatives from the facility explained the science behind the eclipse and instructed kids on how to assist in the collection of data. The young scientists charted the temperature, percentage of the sky covered by clouds, the color of the sky and the visibility of the sun every five minutes beginning at 2 p.m. until the conclusion of the event. That data was being accumulated for NASA. Attendees also observed work being done by Neil Heft, the president of the Radio Central Amateur Radio Club, who

Clockwise from top, a special lens was used by photographer Jason Zimmermann to capture the eclipse at various points from Harborfront Park; a young citizen scientist tracks temperature data which will be used by NASA; and attendees of the Maritime Explorium event in Port Jeff take in the eclipse through special glasses. in accordance with a group called EclipseMob, accumulated radio wave data using cellphones and tablets which were then transmitted to researchers in Colorado as part of a nationwide crowdsourcing data collection effort. “I think it’s an amazing opportunity for young people to actually be involved in the process of making science, because I think in this climate in this day and age there’s a lot of questions about science, but here they’re witnessing something actually happening,” Angeline Judex, the executive director of the Explorium, said during the event. “We did not expect such a great turnout. It’s really a testament to how much people are interested in what’s going on around them in the environment.”

Heft said he’s not sure how the data might be applied by scientists going forward, but that’s not a unique situation for researchers to be in. “The last time we had an opportunity to do a test like this was 1925,” he said, adding this event was a golden opportunity because the researchers weren’t as disciplined at the time regarding organization of the data as they should have been back then, in addition to swaths of new technology available now. “I can’t tell you how they’re going to use [the data], your kids will probably know and, if not them, their kids will probably know.” Terri Randall, a board member at the Explorium and a science teacher, summed up what she hoped attendees, especially

kids, would take from participating in the rare event. “Everybody can be a scientist,” she said. “It’s not isolated to people in museums or in laboratories. So when you have an event like this you have an opportunity to really bring people together to explore, to explain, to learn, to investigate, to have their hands on true science.” The event achieved its purpose for at least one of the young attendees. “I’m going to learn about this,” Bella said of the eclipse. “I know I’m going to study it and research it, but I know I’m going to witness it today, so I’m pretty sure when I learn more about it, it will mean a whole lot more later on, but right now I’m kind of just excited to see it.”

Is the current political climate impacting your everyday life? by Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com With the polarized nature of politics today, we took to the streets of Port Jefferson to see if the tension is having an impact on people’s daily lives. Photos by Kevin Redding

Ed Gunder, Mount Sinai

Scott McMullen, Smithtown

In a way, yes. It makes me depressed, concerned and a little unsure of the future in terms of economics and just the stability of the nation. Sometimes I don’t sleep at night because I’m thinking about it. There are some family members my wife and I are careful not to discuss politics with. We’ve never discussed politics as much in our lives as we do now; it’s an everyday topic of discussion. Today it’s a daily thing where I’m committed to find out what other bizarre thing has happened.

Minimally. I see the news, I’m aware of what’s going on, I’m worried about what the future brings for my grandchildren. But there’s an adverse effect and I think it has to be everybody. You learn not to talk to certain people who have different political views than you do and you try to stay away from that in order to avoid getting into a conflict with them. You keep your political views to yourself, except your wife, you argue with your wife [laughs]. I watch the news tentatively less now than I ever have because then it becomes an overload; and they go over the same issues over and over again, nothing gets resolved, and it’s like little kids bickering. It’s a shame what the political system has come to. I’d like to see the whole political climate change, I’d like to see people get along and for both parties to come to a common ground and realize elected officials are here to support the people. I think both parties have lost sight of what they should be doing. They’re both equally at fault. Trump, for whatever it’s worth, was elected; and I just think we should try to support him no matter what you think of his views. I think whoever the elected official is, give him a chance.

Jacqueline Gunder

Personally it is aggravating and frustrating ... on both sides of the aisle. They never give up, repeat themselves a million times and accomplish nothing.

Alan Hirshman (right), Port Jeff

Jack Rosenthal (left), Port Jeff,

He’s not a good president. Everybody who has any sense tosses and turns about it. I was for Trump to be president until he did things that I don’t like, about three or four months into his term. He should learn from his mistakes but he doesn’t learn. He’s not learning. He is for himself only. He doesn’t accept that he can be wrong. No matter what he decides, that’s the right way and there’s no debating. If you go against him, you’re out. I’m very surprised that he doesn’t learn and ultimately he shouldn’t be president.

Ally Paranicas, Sound Beach

Yeah, and I think it’s with families the most. There’s family division because we have different views. The family gets angry with each other. I know it’s the same thing with a lot of other people with their families. They’re like, “Oh yeah, anytime we have a family gathering, all we do is argue.” I think it’s because the younger people are more open-minded and the older people are more set in their old ways. My dad’s even unfollowed some of my family on Facebook because all they post is stuff in support of opposing views.

153913

It makes me very uncomfortable and makes me want to go out and try to do something. I do whatever I can to try and make something get better than what we have. We’re in bad shape in my opinion in terms of what’s going on and what happened down in Charlottesville. I mean, that was unbelievable.

Rally in Charlottesville hits close to home By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com When Vice News premiered a documentary on HBO about the recent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, the story took a local twist when it featured former Stony Brook resident Christopher Cantwell. Cantwell, who currently lives in Keene, New page a22 Hampshire, is a white supremacist who hosts an alternative right call-in show, “Radical Agenda,” which is live streamed through Facebook and UStream. In the Vice documentary, he can be seen with other marchers holding torches and chanting: “Jews will not replace us” and “White lives matter.” During the filming, after being sprayed with mace in his eyes, he said he was attacked by counter-protesters and called them “communists.” Cantwell did not respond to multiple different requests for comment. Calls to a residence connected to him on Skylark Lane in Stony Brook were not answered, and when a News 12 Long Island reporter approached a man in the driveway of the home, the man denied knowing Cantwell. It was seen on his website in recent days that Cantwell now fears for his life.

Editorial comment

Vice documentary

After seeing the Vice documentary, one of Cantwell’s childhood friends, who declined to be interviewed, reacted on Facebook. “I remember five years ago when I removed him from my page when he started spewing hate speech,” he said. “I may not agree with our government, but I’ll be dead before I align myself with people like this. All of this makes it too real, too close to home and too sad to even comprehend. I feel bad for them really, to live life based solely on hatred of people for a reason based solely in their minds.” The last mention of a Cantwell in the Ward Melville High School yearbooks was in 1997. He was listed as a camera-shy sophomore. His website provides insight into his white supremacist beliefs and why he participated in protesting the removal of a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville’s Emancipation Park. “Here at the Radical Agenda, we’ve made no secret of our utter contempt for the subhuman filth commonly referred to as the Left,” he wrote Aug. 7. “Their Marxist, anti-human war on reality is an ideological contaminant that makes HIV look appealing by comparison. So, we’ve literally made a career out of producing war propaganda against them.” On Aug. 10, before the rally that resulted in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, he posted a message on his website that could only be seen in its entirety if the reader was an existing paying member to his site. He had disabled new membership sign-ups. “I’m in Charlottesville, Virginia for the Unite the Right Rally this coming Saturday,” he said in a preview of the post. “Since we have been meeting so much opposition from both the criminal elements and the municipal government alike, we’ve had to exercise a great deal of caution in terms of operational security.” Cantwell said he was with a reporter, Elle Reeve from Vice, who was covering the rally.

photo from chris cantwell’s Facebook

Former stony Brook resident chris cantwell sprays mace in a man’s face during the protest in charlottesville, Virginia. After the documentary aired on HBO, a photo surfaced of Cantwell attacking someone with pepper spray. In an Aug. 17 post on his website he referenced the photo. He said the man was coming directly for him and another person was approaching him from his left, and believed his safety was being threatened. “I sprayed in self-defense, while holding a flashlight in my left hand,” he said. “In my mind, this was the minimal level of force I could use to deter this threat.” He posted a YouTube video saying he feared he would be arrested, and appeared on the verge of tears. In the Aug. 17 website post, he said he was preparing to turn himself over to University of Virginia police. Calls to the police department to confirm warrants were issued were not returned. Although the Vice film showed him unloading guns strapped to his waist and legs onto the bed of a hotel room, he said he did not bring his guns to the rally.

Cantwell living locally

Cantwell is no stranger to run-ins with the law, according to Southern Poverty Law Center’s website, a watch group dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry. In 2000, Cantwell pleaded guilty to fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and driving while intoxicated in Suffolk County. He served four months of a six-month jail sentence. During a failed attempt to run to represent New York’s 1st Congressional District in 2009 as a Libertarian candidate, he was arrested a second time for DWI. He faced up to two years in prison. He eventually took a deal and served 28 days of a 45-day plea bargain. Cantwell admitted to his DWI arrests in a speech he gave at a Suffolk/Nassau Libertarian Party Convention June 14, 2014. He said at the age of 19 he became very drunk and while driving his car realized he was too drunk to drive and parked his car to sleep. He said the next day he woke up in jail. Nine years later, he said he was out on a date and said he was careful with the amount of drinking he was doing. He was pulled over for speeding in East

Hampton. His blood alcohol limit was measured at .01 over the legal limit. In the speech, Cantwell said before the trial his vehicle was seized and his driver’s license suspended. Due to paying thousands in bail and attorney fees, he lost his job and apartment. He began to study government, and said he started to “figure out that government is a violent, evil monster portraying itself as a peacemaker and savior.” “That far from being that which brings order to society, it is responsible for more carnage and misery than any other institution in the history of mankind,” he said. During the convention speech, Cantwell said he was leaving New York. “New York is a hopeless cesspool of government violence and corruption,” he said. In another Aug. 17 post, Cantwell said he was blocked by PayPal, Venmo, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and MailChimp. He discovered his online dating profiles at OKCupid, Match and Tinder were disabled — sites he said he used for the pursuit of romance. East Setauket’s Stefanie Werner, although hoping that others don’t associate white supremacy with the Three Villages, can see how a mindset like Cantwell’s develops. “The news about a white supremacist with roots in the Three Village area, although disturbing, should not be altogether shocking,” she said. “I have lived here all of my life and began my teaching career at Ward Melville. Walking the halls of Ward Melville High School, or any other high school in the country, there exists a diverse set of personalities that have yet to fully develop. Adolescent ideals turn to adult ideologies, and it only takes one experience, positive or negative, to help mold these beliefs into a solid foundation. It is sad, and a tad frightening that this particular mindset developed in a community where many may turn a blind eye to the existence of this antithetical culture. However, the current political arena is nurturing this thought process, and this community needs to heighten its awareness of the clashing principles of the modern era.”

Community reaction

Three Village residents and religious leaders were asked how they felt when they heard Christopher Cantwell was from Stony Brook. Terry Shapiro: “As an American Jew, I am horrified. Anti-Semitism has a long history in Suffolk County. That is why it is so important to have a representative who speaks out firmly against bigotry in the White House. U.S. Rep Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) has not done so. He has not held Mr. Trump accountable. As long as we have a bigot in the White House and members of Congress who refuse to censure him, I fear that anti-Semitism will continue to resurface.” Rabbi Steven A. Moss (chairperson of the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission): “There’s no place on earth that is exempt from this kind of behavior. The question then becomes what do the rest of us do. Therefore what we try to do is model ourselves on the idea that evil occurs when good people do nothing. So we organize task forces and people. We need to speak out and make sure we condemn when appropriate this kind of behavior and speak out against it and not simply turn aside.” Shoshana Hershkowitz: “Chris Cantwell is a reminder that hate exists in all communities. It is deeply upsetting to me that a young man who was raised in our area, was taught in our schools, came away with this frightening worldview and ideology. We need to examine the racism that exists where we live and confront it in our homes and schools. This must be our response to hate if we are to combat it effectively.” Arnold Wishnia: “I learned that Cantwell came from Stony Brook from you. I Googled him and discovered that I had in fact seen the TV clip where this vile Nazi boasted about strengthening himself for violence, and said he would kill if he had to. Cantwell may be an extreme, but I am not shocked that violence-prone racists can be found in Stony Brook. Suffolk County has a history of KKK and Nazi activity from the 1930s. My sons encountered this kind of unthinking, violence-threatening racism as students at Ward Melville High School, I am disturbed and disappointed to find out that anyone is a Nazi, but not surprised that Stony Brook has bred some.” The Rev. Kate Jones Calone (director of Open Door Exchange at Setauket Presbyterian Church): “We cannot pretend that prejudice and racism do not exist in our area, whether explicit, subtle or unintentional. The question is how we address it. In my faith, God grieves over separation and longs for reconciliation. If we are to build a community grounded in equity and love, we need first to understand why things are not that way and take action to change it. This requires real commitment, hard work, humility and a willingness to confront what stands in the way. Starting in elementary school, schools, parents and adult leaders need to teach more than simple kindness; they need to teach kids to be affirmatively and actively inclusive and anti-racist. And we need to educate ourselves on why Long Island is among the top 10 most segregated places in the country.”

Unveiling of historic map On Aug. 14, Brookhaven Town Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) unveiled his Brookhaven Town Third District Historic Map. LaValle was joined by other politicians, historical societies and community members at the historic Bald Hill School to unveil the map, which is an effort to preserve and honor the rich and important history of this area. Above, Suffolk County Legislator Tom Muratore (R); Lake Ronkonkoma Heritage Association President Ellyn Okvist; Lake Ronkonkoma Historical Society and Lake Ronkonkoma Improvement Group President Evelyn Vollgraff; Lake Ronkonkoma Improve-

ment Group member Stephen Vollgraff; Lake Ronkonkoma Heritage Association and Farmingville Historical Society member Helen Mulvihill; Farmingville Historical Society President BJ Intini; Brookhaven Town Historian Barbara Russell and LaValle were some of the town and community members that helped create the map. The map can be viewed at www.brookhavenny.gov/cd3map. “The new map is a great source of information now available to Brookhaven residents,” LaValle said. “I want to especially thank Town Historian Barbara Russell and our local historians, whose hard work and dedication to preserving Brookhaven’s heritage is greatly appreciated.”

After serving her country for 22 years in the United States Air Force and Air National Guard, retired Master Sergeant Melissa Pandolf is now serving veterans at Brookhaven Town Hall. “I am a veteran servicing veterans,” said Pandolf the town’s new veterans service officer. “Oftentimes the veterans and family members I meet with are not aware of the benefits and services they are entitled to. By assisting with paperwork and providing referrals, veterans and family members leave this office with confidence regarding their entitlements.” She brings with her a wealth of knowledge regarding the needs and concerns of Brookhaven veterans and their family members. Through Brookhaven Town’s Division of Veterans Services, Pandolf assists veterans with finding out benefits they are entitled to, completing applications and obtaining referrals. “Long Island is home to more veterans than anywhere in the country, so I expect Melissa will be very busy,” Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said. “So many veterans come home and have difficulty navigating though the process to get the benefits they deserve. They are fortunate to have Melissa here at Town Hall, ready to help.” “Our veterans have served their country with honor and we need to be there to help whenever they need it,” said town Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Ridge), who serves as the Town Board Liaison to the Division of Veterans Services. “I have the utmost confidence that Melissa is the

right person for the job and I look forward to working with her to make life better for those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.” All Brookhaven veterans are encouraged to visit the Division of Veterans Services at Brookhaven Town Hall, located at 1 Independence Hill in Farmingville.

TOWN Local physicist, doctors working to help Haitian girl BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM Through the efforts of a retired physicist, an orthopedic surgeon from Stony Brook University and a dedicated Haitian who has since moved to Long Island, a 16-year-old from Haiti is on a path with more open doors than ever. Berlinda was born with two clubbed feet, though she is motivated to better herself, with the dream of one day walking on her own two feet. Steve Kramer, a retired Brookhaven National Lab accelerator physicist, met the student in Haiti through Life and Hope Haiti, a nonprofit founded by Haitian-American Lucia Anglade, who built the Eben Ezer School in her hometown of Milot, Haiti. “She had only been at the school for a few months and she was already learning basic arithmetic,” Kramer said of seeing Berlinda back in March, after meeting her during her introduction to the school in December. “I gave her two columns of work and she handed it back to me with a big smile and said, ‘more.’” Berlinda has spirit, according to many who have met her, and Kramer was so moved by the story that he reached out to Dr. Wesley Carrion at Stony Brook University School of Medicine’s orthopedics department about performing surgery to fix the girl’s feet. He agreed to do it free of charge. When he contacted Carrion, Kramer said his secretary Joan mentioned he was deployed in Afghanistan and she didn’t know when he would return. Within a day or two she called to tell him she’d heard from the doctor, who said he’d return by April. In May, the two met. “I sent him copies of Berlinda’s X-rays and [a] video [of her crawling] and he said he felt he could treat her and rotate the feet, and he would donate his time and get the equipment donated,” Kramer said. “That was a big relief. I felt it might become a reality.” Carrion had informed Kramer that he would need to get the hospital to donate some of the costs, so Kramer reached out to the Department of Medicine’s Dr. L. Reuven Pasternak, who serves as vice president for health systems and chief executive officer of Stony Brook University Hospital. “He said they would cover her hospital costs,” Kramer said after his meeting with Pasternak in July. “This was a bigger relief since beside rotating the club feet we need to check out the status of the hole her spinal column might still have from the spina bifida she was diagnosed as having. Everyone told me the hole doesn’t close up on its own, but she is doing so well that it may have, but it needs to be checked and closed if it is still open.”

To help bring Berlinda to the United States, Kramer set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for her flight cost and other postoperation expenses. “The fundraising has been going slower than I had hoped, even though everyone I contact is verbally supportive,” he said. “As a physicist my human appeal needs a lot of improvement to really move people to give. But then I look at the video [of her crawling and doing math] and see the determination she has and feel she will deal with it as she has the tragic events she has already endured and I know she will persevere and will learn to walk.” Following the surgery, Berlinda will be in the hospital for four months, getting her feet rotated to stretch the tendons as part of the healing process. Her legs will be in cages called external frames that will be attached by pins drilled into her leg bones. Because these create open wounds, it’s best for her to stay in the hospital instead of returning to Haiti, to keep the wounds sterile. While recovering, she will continue to go through schooling, which will be one-on-one instead of in a larger classroom back in Haiti. Without the construction of the Eben Ezer School, Berlinda’s struggles might never have come to light for Kramer. What began as a 10-child school back in 2001 has grown to populate over 400, according to Anglade. “I took the $7,000 I received from my tax return and decided I wanted to build a school in my home country — that had been my motivation,” said Anglade, who now lives in West Babylon. “I’m so blessed. I thank God for that, say thank you all the time. It’s a big school now, and we’re still helping.” Anglade first visited Berlinda at her house, and heard from the 16-year-old how her brothers and sisters attended school, and she wished she could join them. Because the school is far from her house, she couldn’t walk there. “I went to her house and she was quiet, said she can’t go to school,” Anglade said. “I told her I was going to help her, and I took her to the school. I pay someone to stay with her at the school. Her dream is to walk, to learn, to be someone. She wants to be happy.” Kramer and Stony Brook University Hospital are making her dream a reality.

Steve has put in a lot of effort to helping Berlinda make her dream come true.” Kramer first visited the Eben Ezer School through Wading River’s North Shore United Methodist Church in 2015. He joined a group in visiting Haiti in February and has since visited three more times by himself and with Anglade. They are working toward improving the facilities at the school through solar power and updating the water system. Kramer also provided economic opportunities for students and natives of the town. He cultivated a group of farmers that grow ancient Egyptian wheat, kumat, which is exported to the U.S. Now, he’s trying to help provide a future for Berlinda. “She’s very positive, she’s a sponge for learning,” he said. “I just want to help this Haitian girl who has had a tragic life story so far, but has kept her joy of life and has determination to improve herself.” Amy Miller, of Maine, who has helped Anglade since 2007, said she finds what Kramer is doing admirable. “I met Berlinda and I really respect his desire to help her move forward,” she said. “You meet someone and they kind of capture your heart, and I think you have to follow your heart. That’s what he’s doing.” Both said they are also moved by Anglade’s motivation. “I am tremendously inspired by Lucia,” Miller said. “She’s a force. Lucia is a person that astounds most people that meet her — her energy and her commitment. She loves the kids and it’s wonderful to watch. The community once said she should be their mayor after she

brought water not just for the school but also for the community. She’s quite something.” Anglade said she’s just doing what she thinks is right, in giving back to her hometown. “My four kids here go to school, they’re in college, they eat every day, but in Haiti, we don’t have enough to feed over 400 kids, so sometimes when we’re down there for a week or two, we can only feed them for one week,” Anglade said. “I can’t go every week, but if I could go every week, every month, I’d go, just to help them. For me to be able to go down there to help those students, my community, I’m so happy to do it. I really feel good about it.” To donate to help get Berlinda to the United States and to receive the care and posttreatment she will need, visit www.gofundme.com/BerlindasMiracle.

said. “I was like ‘no, no, no, no.’ Then one night, I just thought what was I doing holding her back. It’s been a work in progress, but each week we get something out of it.” Natalie Fitterman, an English teacher at Centereach High School and friend of the Paprocky family, said she enjoyed watching the pair work together. “I saw a man taking the time to teach his daughter about something he is very passionate about, and it is something most fathers would never want their daughters to know about, let alone actually do,” she said. “I have a hard time finding models for my students, but she’s one of them.” Lenore Paprocky, the young driver’s mother, has also worked on cars. She marveled at the fact that her daughter has taken it one step further than she did — not only working on cars, but driving them. To her, it’s the family and community developed in racing that sets it apart from other sports. “Camaraderie is a big part of why people stay with this sport,” she said. “It’s competition, yeah, but you could call it a friendly competition.” Cassandra Denis, the other female racer at the speedway who also races in the Blunderbust class, came up as a rookie around the same time Alyssa Paprocky did. She said she respects her competitor, and admires the courage it takes to be a female in the sport. “It’s about earning respect on the track,

and that means you do the work, turn laps and get a victory,” Denis said. “I respect [Alyssa] going through the same struggles. We have to work harder to get here and prove ourselves.” Paprocky has been in 16 races since she started at Riverhead Raceway. Last year’s season was cut short because her car kept breaking down, and at first, she felt defeated. “My first engine blew and it was the most depressing thing — it was as if someone had come and shot my dog,” Paprocky said. “Then, it was rebuilding … a smaller engine. That meant everything had to change. Even my driving style.” Paprocky tries to remain realistic, and though she might place well in some races, what she really looks for is consistency in her improvement. “I set realistic goals for myself, and every week I would put the hours in and I feel like I met those goals for the most part,” she said. “I take a positive out of every week.” She said the spirited young fans that approach her after her races keep her going. “I’ve had little kids come up to me in the pits to sign autographs and they ask, ‘Whose the driver?’ and I say ‘That’s me,’” Paprocky said. “I still sometimes feel like a rock star. A couple weeks ago two little girls came up to me, and I went to get a marker to sign their flag and I heard them go, ‘Oh, she is the driver? Oh my God.’”

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor

To Zeldin: Not enough to pay lip service

Screenshot from HBO’s Vice News documentary

White supremacist Christopher Cantwell shows reporter Elle Reeve the weapons he brought to Charlottesville, Virginia, during a Vice News documentary.

No, Rep. Zeldin, it is not enough to pay lip service against the KKK and Nazism as you do in your Aug. 17 letter to the editor in The Village Times Herald [“Zeldin: This is a time to be an American”]. You then go on to parrot Mr. Trump’s false assertion that “there is evidence that the violence came from multiple groups and multiple sides,” and for “any of the protesters on either side with extremist views and violent purposes, you are 100 percent completely in the wrong.” No, Rep. Zeldin, let us be perfectly clear that there is no moral equivalence between marchers

waving swastikas, Nazi flags and chanting anti-Semitic slogans — and those who came to protest this hatred. The counter-protesters were there to defend American values against the Unite the Right rally’s message of hate. Mr. Trump is being broadly condemned by both Republicans and Democrats for blaming the violence “on both sides.” You need to retract your assertion of “multiple sides” and join your brave colleagues in holding the president accountable for preaching hate from the White House. It is not good enough for you to speak out against white su-

premacists — you need to speak out against this president who enables and emboldens them with his hate-filled rhetoric and policies. It is time for you to join people in Congress and in the business and arts world who have spoken out against Mr. Trump’s bigotry. You need to demand that he fires the rest of his alt-right advisers in the White House. You need to join the brave people in Congress who have called for censure of Mr. Trump. Anything less is just empty words.

Terry S. Shapiro East Setauket

Zeldin’s letter reinforces Trump’s lie Reporting in the face of hate Over the last week, the public has been introduced to Christopher Cantwell, the white supremacist and alt-right radio host who grew up in Stony Brook. Cantwell was featured in the Vice News piece that was aired on HBO Aug. 14 due to the work and bravery of Vice’s Elle Reeve. She managed to make a connection with Cantwell that not only enabled her to report from the front lines of the protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, but also capture footage that is so terrifying it seems unreal. It could be argued that the full scope of Charlottesville and the ramifications of what took place would be impossible to realize without what Reeve did. But it is real, and it is happening in our country. It can be said that hate mongering through the internet and social media is fanning the flames. Reeve was on the scene when protesters marched with lighted torches screaming, “Blood and soil” and “Whose streets? Our streets” and Cantwell saying, “We’re not nonviolent, we’ll f****** kill people if we have to,” this did not stop her from jumping into a van with participants to keep the interviews going while cameras were still rolling. Her camera crew was also on the scene when a car plowed into a crowd of protesters, killing a 32-year-old woman, Heather Heyer, and captured the reactions of terror from witnesses immediately after. Reeve went so far as to follow Cantwell back to his hotel room to continue the interview, as he unloaded several guns and a knife strapped to his waist and legs onto a bed while justifying the death of Heyer. This footage and her interviews are important. It’s one thing to read statistics about how many neo-Nazis, white supremacists and KKK clans exist in our country and even our neighborhoods, but it’s another to see them march through the streets with torches in their hands, chanting slogans and spewing ideologies that were presumably killed decades ago. The Vice News reporter, with videographer Orlando de Guzman, put themselves in harm’s way to get out a very important message: That a resounding hate exists in many of the people that surround us. The message from Charlottesville needed to not only be heard, but seen, and without their work and their efforts it may not have been possible. There are many talented reporters, but Reeve and her crew went above and beyond the call of duty. Her beat finds her on a regular basis in the center of animosity and puts her in potentially dangerous situations, and this doesn’t stop her from reporting; this is what led her to earning the trust of Cantwell. This is the type of reporting that makes Americans think and understand what is really going on beyond the borders of our towns or state, and opening our eyes to some of what has originated here. This is not fake news; this is the role of media in a democracy. As reporters we tip our hats to Reeve for her bravery and composure.

Rep. Lee Zeldin was among the first to support Donald Trump’s candidacy for president, and he has continued his total support ever since. His letter in The Village Times Herald Aug. 17 seems to say all the right things about the Nazi-KKK-white “nationalist” (i.e., racist) riot in Charlottesville, until you read closely and realize that it is meant to frame a single phrase, “the violence came from multiple groups and multiple sides,” later repeated as “protesters on either side with extremist views and violent purposes.” His letter is thus meant to reinforce President Trump’s lie that there is moral equivalence between “good people on both sides” and his lie that left-wing

extremists (“antifa”) charged right-wingers with clubs. The only “evidence” for the last seems to be a photograph originally from a Greek demonstration in 2009, gone viral in the right-wing blogosphere, sometimes with the antifa logo digitally imposed on the back of a protester. Let us be clear: All the rightwingers in Charlottesville came in response to the racist call from neo-Nazis, the KKK and white “nationalists,” not to defend a statue; there were no “good people” on that side. They came armed with semiautomatic rifles, helmets, shields, swastikas and burning torches — later seen being used as weapons — bent on provocation and violence. They attacked the counter-dem-

onstrators, some of whom could defend themselves with fists and placards as shields. And of course one neo-Nazi barreled his car into the crowd, killing Heather Heyer and injuring many. A lot of rioters approved his act; one neoNazi had the gall to claim it was self-defense. The ultra-racists, KKK’s David Duke and Richard Spencer among others, praised President Trump, essentially for going as far as he could to defend the Nazi, racist rioters; Trump didn’t use a dog whistle this time, it was a loudspeaker. Many Republicans rejected Trump’s remarks. Mr. Zeldin, you should be ashamed.

Arnold Wishnia Setauket

What’s next if we tear down statues? If we begin tearing down statues and monuments of prominent historical figures because something about them offends someone’s sensitivities, indeed, where will it end? What’s next? George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had slaves. Shall we tear down the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial? How about changing the name of the city and state of Washington, and hundreds of other towns and schools that bear the name of Washington, Jefferson and Robert E. Lee? Lee was revered by many and respected by virtually everyone in the North and the South before, during and after the American

Civil War. He was no fan of slavery. On Dec. 27, 1856 he wrote to his wife, “[S]lavery as an institution is a moral and a political evil in any country.” Nevertheless, when Abraham Lincoln asked him to command the Union Army, Lee declined, saying, “With all my devotion to the Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home.” After the war, when he was indicted for treason, Lee calmly responded, “I have fought against the people of the North because I believed they were

seeking to wrest from the South its dearest rights. But I have never cherished toward them bitter or vindictive feelings, and I have never seen the day when I did not pray for them.” Abraham Lincoln in his second inaugural address shortly after the war and before his assassination spoke “with malice toward none, with charity for all.” We walk in the steps of ISIS when we feel compelled to destroy every remnant of a civilization, religion, tradition or person with which we don’t totally identify with. Is this America?

OpiniOn Turning the phrase ‘while here’ into a mantra

ver walk into a room and wonder why you’re there? As I say to my wife when she looks up expectantly if I appear and then stop in my tracks, I get distracted by air. We are flooded by stimuli from the bird soaring overhead, to the vibrating cellphone alerting us to an incoming message, to the lists that run in our heads. We have numerous opportunities to lose track of the principle task we assigned ourBy Daniel Dunaief selves. I’ve decided on a mantra to deal with these moments and others through the day: “While I’m here.” Yes, I know that’s not exactly a new turn of phrase and I know it’s a type of mindfulness,

D. None of the above

but my suggestion is about hearing and responding to the phrase. For example, I might walk into a drugstore to buy shampoo and conditioner. I might realize, before I head to the checkout line, that “while I’m here,” I might also get some dental floss. After all, it’s not like dental floss spoils and, if you’ve seen the movie “Prelude to a Kiss,” you know the old man, once he returns to his own body, advises the young couple at the beginning of their marriage to floss. After several painful episodes with gums that had previously been a breeding ground for painful bacteria, I can attest to the value of that advice. If you’re a suburban parent and you’re sitting at another baseball game, at a concert or at a dance recital, let’s imagine you’re waiting for the action to begin. “While you’re here” you might want to talk to the parent sitting near you and ask about his or her life or job.

“Hey, wait,” you say. “You’re in the same industry as I am? I had no idea. Of course, I’d love to write an elaborate freelance article that you’ll feature on the cover of your glossy magazine and that will lead to a long and fruitful business collaboration.” That might not happen, but it certainly won’t if you dive deep into your cellphone to tell someone in another state that you’re not sure whether you’re going to eat the leftover salad from lunch or order chicken with broccoli from the Chinese restaurant down the street. Maybe you’re at a job interview and you’ve hit all the talking points. You said your only serious flaw is that you take work so seriously that you won’t rest until you’ve secured whatever victories the company needs to beat its closest rivals. “While you’re here,” however, you might also want to make sure you ask enough questions about the interviewers, so you know their ca-

reer paths and so you have a better idea of the people with whom you’ll interact if they offer you the job. Not all the “while you’re here” moments have to be of immediate benefit to you. You might, for example, be on a beach on one of the final days of summer and a strong wind might blow someone’s hat toward you. “While you’re here” you might want to help that person retrieve it. Or maybe you see a plastic wrapper heading into the water. “While you’re here” you also might want to grab this offensive litter and bring it to a garbage can so that it doesn’t damage a fish or a turtle. If we consider a few times a day what we can do “while we’re here,” we might not only become more efficient, but we also might make that unexpected trip into the room worthwhile. The moment when we’re trying to recall what drove us into the room can transform into an opportunity ... “while we’re here.”

Peeking behind the curtain of the universe

he eclipse has come and gone, and for me it lived up to its advanced billing. It was awesome. I can’t say I was prepared to be awed. In fact, since most “great” shows tend to be overhyped, especially with all the different platforms we now communicate on, from radio and TV to blogs, websites, mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter and the rest, they are over previewed and inevitably a letdown. Not so last Monday’s eclipse. I happened to be taking a day, By Leah S. Dunaief vacation and my family was visiting, so there were a number of us getting ready for the event. We weren’t particularly excited about what was predicted to happen. I think curious was a better description. None of us

had secured the appropriate glasses in advance but fortunately a good friend put a pair in my hands at the last minute, and that made all the difference. Without the glasses, we were told not to look at the sun for fear of damaging our retinas. The day dawned pleasantly enough, with blue sky and bright sun but, as the morning wore on, the light breeze that started the day disappeared altogether. We noted that fact because we have a little Hobie Cat that we use to get out on the water, and there wasn’t even enough wind to move that slender craft. As we sat around the patio, there was an air of expectancy around noon, although maybe I was just projecting. We heard no birdsong, saw no squirrels and thought the yard unusually quiet. By then the bright sun had yielded to what seemed like overhanging clouds, but there weren’t low clouds in the sky. By 1:30 p.m., there was perceptibly less light. By 2:30, one by one we looked up at the sun through the protective glasses, and each of us emitted

an involuntary noise. The moon, essentially a black disc, was moving west to east across the lower three-quarters of the sun. We could see it clearly, with no clouds in the way. The feeling was of watching something happening that was profoundly greater than any human activity. In fact, I had a similar sensation when I stood at the top of a mountain in Alaska and looked out over the hundreds of miles of landscape with not a human or a human structure in sight. I felt the utter insignificance of humans in the cosmos. Just as predicted for the New York region, around 2:40 we saw the maximum area of sun occluded by the moon, and just around that time there was a fierce gust of wind that came from nowhere and shook the surrounding trees, with their lush summer leaves, into a frenzy. It was almost spooky. After a few minutes, the wind diminished and turned into a summer breeze. We sat in a circle, passing the cardboard glasses from hand to hand, and continued to marvel

at the sight of the moon blocking most of the sun. But the surface of the moon did not seem uniformly dense, rather appearing to let patches of light through parts of the disc — or so it appeared to me. Then, as the minutes ticked by and the moon moved off, it was almost with regret that we saw it leave. For those all-too-brief moments, we had witnessed what only the gods can see: the movement of the inner parts of the universe as some sort of well-regulated Swiss watch. It was a stately dance of the planets, predictable for its steps but thrilling on its cosmic scale. Then it was over and, as one, we rose to take advantage of the newfound breeze and get in some late afternoon sailing. But somehow we weren’t quite the same. Yes, we know the basics: That the Earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around the Earth, a kind of merry-go-round within a merry-go-round. But to witness a tiny part of that movement, for even the shortest time, can only be described as leaving us in awe.
