Ru Jurow was able to afford this new home with the help of a grant from Community Housing Innovations.

Grants available for first-time homebuyers

By Guy SantoStEfano

For most, homeownership is a dream, and for many, it’s also a big challenge.

For some Long Islanders, owning a home seems financially out of reach, but that’s where Community Housing Innovations can help.

The cost of living continues to rise, while home and apartment rental costs make saving to buy a home nearly impossible. Lenders are now requiring larger down payments for many homebuyers — so a buyer seeking to land a modest $250,000 home on Long Island may need $25,000 cash up front, plus another $10,000 in closing costs. Saving $35,000 is not an easy task. But for those who qualify, help is available.

Community Housing Innovations is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developmentsponsored agency that assists first-time buyers in meeting the challenges of homeownership. From homebuyer education classes to credit counseling, and down payment and closing cost assistance, the company’s staff have the ability, and most importantly, the financial resources to help buyers realize their dream.

Grants earmarked for closing costs and down payments have averaged $25,000.

Other programs offered through the nonprofit, in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, help a novice buyer arrange special savings accounts geared toward meeting down payment requirements.

Andrea Haughton, the director for home ownership at Community Housing innovations, reports that since 1997, 31 homes on Long Island have been purchased through the program, which has bases in Patchogue, Hempstead and White Plains.

For Ru Jurow, a graphic designer living

in Farmingville, this program was critical.

A single mom, Jurow has been paying nearly $2,000 a month in rent and utilities for a small home in the Sachem school district.

“I wanted to stay in the same school district, as I have two teen children, both honors students,” she said. “And after 10 years in the same rental, we really needed more space and privacy for the kids.”

Jurow found a charming three bedroom, two bath home one mile from her current rental, and did a search on Google for grant programs for new homebuyers, coming across Community Housing Innovations’ website. She saw she met the requirements, and applied, receiving a $25,000 grant, which she said, must be split with 51 percent going toward renovations and upgrades, and 49 percent going toward closing and other costs.

“Being able to buy a home allows my children and I to have a sense of permanency and security,” Jurow said. “With the purchase of our own home, we can feel pride.”

According to Haugh— Ru Jurow ton, the grant is recorded on the home’s title as a second position lien for ten years. This encourages the owner to stay in the house and thus avoid paying penalties. Eligibility guidelines and other key information can be found on the organization’s website, www.chigrants.org, or by visiting their Patchogue offices.

“All three of us are incredibly excited,” Jurow said of her family beginning its new journey. “My daughter has been planning how she will get to decorate her own room and can’t wait to have big sleepover parties with her friends in the finished basement. My son is looking forward to having a work-out room in the basement and I am a huge baker and cannot wait to get into that kitchen and cook up a storm.”

‘Being able to buy a home allows my children and I to have a sense of permanency and security.’

Centereach artist takes spotlight at Suffolk gallery

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com

Suffolk County Community College in Riverhead held an opening reception last week for its annual Eastern Campus Student Art Exhibit, a show that takes place every fall in the Lyceum Gallery of the Montaukett Learning Resource Center on the Eastern Campus.

The salon-style show serves to highlight exceptional work created by students in the college’s applied arts programs.

This year’s exhibit contains over 60 works that will be displayed in a variety of media and sizes, all of which have been done for classes on campus within the last two years.

Students majoring in photography, graphic design, computer art and interior design were able to submit up to three pieces of their choosing and have the opportunity to leave their often-isolated creative spaces and gauge a reaction of their work from the public..

Ralph Masullo, professor of photographic imagery, said that the gallery has proven to be incredibly valuable for the artists in many ways.

“When you’re an artist and put your work out, you’re basically putting yourself out,” Masullo said. “For students who tend to be very timid about that, it’s their first experience to be exposing themselves as an artist. It’s a good experience for them. Just standing around and listening to comments from strangers is very helpful.”

Sarah Mullen, 22, of Centereach, said that this was her first art exhibit on a college-level, even though she’ll be graduating from SCCC this year with a photography major.

Mullen submitted two photos that will eventually be part of a travel photography book she’s been working on this semester as a special project that highlights lesser-known locations on Long Island. One was taken at Avalon Park in Stony Brook and the other at Prosser Pines in Middle Island. The photo titled “Nature’s Tranquility” of stone steps ascending deeper and deeper into a beautiful forest is so mesmerizing that it became the official image for the reception, appearing on all promotional fliers.

“It’s nice to have the exposure here,” Mullen said. “Usually, as an artist, all you’d have besides a gallery is the internet, and it’s cool for someone to come physically see your work on the wall. When it’s on the computer, you can still edit it, you can still change things. Once it’s on the wall, that’s it.”

One of the most striking photos in the gallery came from Kiera Pipe, 19, of Miller Place. Taken at Peconic River Herb Farm in Riverhead, the photo captures a sundress hung up on a line in between two shutters on the top floor of a rustic and worn-down barn. One observer said it was haunting and looked almost ghost-like.

Pipe, who’s a photographic imagery major, said that she likes to see whether or not her work means something to someone else or provokes an emotion of any kind. Constructive criticism, she said, makes her a better artist.

“I’m really new to submitting my work into events like this,” Pipe said. “It’s really interesting to watch other people look at my images, while I’m kind of trying to figure out what they’re thinking. I think it’s really awesome ... it’s a good feeling.”

Growing up on the North Shore, she naturally gravitated toward photography, with a specific focus on landscapes.

“I like all the components that go into it,” she said. “Your eye travels in so many different directions when you’re looking at a landscape. [Growing up] on the water, everything always looks so different. It’s the same place and everything, but the shores and the sky changes so much ... it always becomes a different photo.”

The exhibit is open through Dec. 14 in the Lyceum Gallery, located at 121 Speonk Riverhead Road on the Eastern Campus in Riverhead. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery is closed on Sundays and holidays (gallery closed from Nov. 24 to 27).

Selden vet welcomed to newly renovated home Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone(D), Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy D. Sini and members of Suffolk County Police Department joined Brookhaven Town Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) and members of Building Homes for Heroes for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to welcome a United States Marine to a newly renovated, handicap accessible home in Selden.

Bill and Cyndi Ventura, whose sons were both in the U.S. Marine Corps, have spent years supporting military families and now received much-needed support.

Their oldest son, 23-year-old Cpl. Jerome Ventura, died from complications of his medication for PTSD in 2011. More than

two years later, their son, Lance Cpl. William Ventura, now 25, was involved in a hitand-run motorcycle crash in Selden and is paralyzed from the waist down.

“It was a great day for everyone who donated their time, talent and money to renovate this house, and I was extremely proud to be part of the welcome home ceremony,” LaValle said. “The Ventura family has sacrificed so much for their country and it is only fitting that we pay it forward. I wish them all the best of luck in their new home.”

The home was renovated by Building Homes for Heroes, which was established in 2006 to make a difference in the lives of the severely wounded men and women

of the military. They build homes from the ground up or modify existing homes to meet the needs of the brave men and women who selflessly served our country.

The mortgage-free homes help to remove the family’s financial burden, restore the individual’s freedom, and enable the veteran to lead a more independent and productive civilian life.

“What an honor it was to stand among so many American heroes and welcome the Ventura family into their new home,” Councilman Neil Foley (R-Blue Point) said.

“Lance Corporal Ventura’s courage and determination under such difficult circumstances is an inspiration to me and so many

others who know him. Today he begins a new chapter in his life and the start of a brighter future for him and his family.”

Building Homes for Heroes led the effort to carry out a major home renovation, which included constructing an elevator, to provide William Ventura with the independence he needs.

“Billy is the epitome of an American hero,” Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) said. “Thanks to Building Homes for Heroes and the generosity of so many local businesses and community members, he can enjoy more independence in his newly renovated home.”

Centereach police officer saves family from house fire

Officer James anson, above, assisted in the rescue of a family of four from a Centereach house fire on nov. 11, with the help of William Cope and Donny Calcagno, on right.

An off-duty Suffolk County police officer helped rescue a family of four from a house fire in Centereach.

At approximately 10:50 p.m., 12-yearold Caleigh Anson alerted her father, James Anson, a 7th Precinct Community Oriented Police Enforcement officer that a house across the street from theirs was on fire.

Caleigh called 911 and officer Anson rushed to his garage and retrieved a ladder, then placed it near the second story window of 2 Minto Court where homeowners Jason and April Noon were screaming for help. The front of their house was fully engulfed in flames.

Anson climbed up the ladder as Jason and April Noon passed their two boys ages 7 and 5 to the officer. Anson passed the children to Sixth Precinct Gang Unit officers William Cope and Donny Calcagno, who brought them to safety. Anson then helped rescue April Noon.

Jason Noon went down the ladder by himself. A firefighter rescued one of the family’s dogs, which was transported to Selden Animal Hospital in good condition.

A second family dog died at the scene.

Two neighboring houses were damaged from the fire.

Firefighters from the Centereach, Stony

Brook, Setauket, Coram, Selden and Ronkonkoma fire departments responded.

Jason and April Noon, and their two children, as well as a firefighter who suffered an ankle injury, were all transported to Stony Brook University Hospital by Centereach Fire Department Ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.

Arson Squad detectives and the Brookhaven Town Fire Marshal’s Office are investigating the cause of the fire.

Above, Michele galasso with her trainee puppy, yucca ii. Below, Lisa egry and her son Shaun meet his second companion dog, a yellow lab/golden retriever mix named Honey, last year.

Galasso said that raising Yucca II is a lot of work but extremely rewarding. Yucca II is well mannered and loves working on her one-word commands, she said. Galasso puts a special yellow cape on Yucca II as she is permitted to go to many public areas that family pets aren’t allowed to, and visits the nearby senior center once a week.

To help the puppy adjust to a wide variety of surfaces, Galasso walks her indoors, outdoors, on the grass, in the street, as well as busy areas like Stony Brook Village.

She’s also training her not to eat off the

floor, in case the person she’ll assist were to drop their medication.

Galasso said that Yucca II loves people, especially children. On Halloween, she said Yucca II even sat in the middle of the stairs, which face a storm door with see-through glass only at the top of it, so she could look out and see the kids as they came up in their costumes.

“Sometimes I think, ‘Oh, I hope she gets placed with a child,’ because she really loves them.”

Last year in Mount Sinai, a young man named Shaun Egry — who suffers from cerebral palsy — was matched with an assistance dog from CCI. His mother Lisa said that they’ve been involved with CCI since 2004 and received their first dog in 2007 when Shaun was just 10 years old, confined to a wheelchair and in need of a friend.

She said the dogs have not only helped him physically, but emotionally too.

“He went from not speaking in public and being kind of embarrassed and ashamed to being very outgoing, and now he talks so much that he just doesn’t stop anymore,” said Lisa Egry. “It’s just a big confidence builder, and gave him what he needs to not feel so self-conscious of his disability.”

As a puppy raiser, Galasso knows that the toughest part of the job will be returning Yucca II back to headquarters, which she’ll have to do in February 2018. But it’s been stressed by CCI that a majority of the dogs are deemed unsuitable to be matched with anybody and, in that case, are then offered back to the puppy raisers as pets. Of course Galasso would be thrilled to bring Yucca II in permanently, she said, but she has faith that the puppy has what it takes to make it.

“My hope is that she succeeds through all her training and becomes an assistance dog,” said Galasso. “She’s a very special pup: She has a very sweet, easygoing temperament, she’s highly motivated to learn and she’s in excellent health. I just feel very strongly about the good that she can do for someone.”

Cancer center’s Adopt a Family program warms the heart

by Rebecca anzel Opportunities for warming hearts abound during the holiday season and those who give tend to receive much more.

Five years ago, when Linda Bily, cancer patient advocacy and community outreach director at Stony Brook Cancer Center, and others noticed some patients did not have family members to share the holidays with, she started the Adopt a Family program.

The first year, 20 families were “adopted” by 20 departments, which donated gifts such as winter coats, new sneakers and gift cards for grocery stores and gas stations.

This year, Bily estimates that 75 families will be adopted by departments and community groups.

“This is a good thing for patients going through chemo because it’s one less thing they have to worry about,” Bily said. “The people that donate the gifts get as much out of it as the patients — and they always go above and beyond. It makes them feel good to do it.”

Patients and their families are nominated by the nursing staff and social workers. The only requirements are that they receive treatment at the cancer center and are facing financial hardship.

at top, from left, Stony brook ‘elves’ Maryellen bestenheider, Mary alice Plant and Michele Hass make the season bright for some cancer patients and their families. above, students in teacher eric Gustafson’s fourth-grade class at Setauket elementary School hold wrapped gifts to be donated.

‘Most of our patients want to pay their bills first and they put themselves last.

It’s nice to put them first for once, and they’re so appreciative for it.’

— Alicia McArdle Alicia McArdle has been a social worker at the cancer center for two years and nominates families to participate in the program. She said what separates this program from others like it is that it includes cancer patients of all ages, not just children.

“So many people are nominated, it’s unbelievable,” McArdle said. “It’s a way to give our patients joy during a difficult time, and it definitely brightens their days.”

Once a patient agrees to participate he or she gives Bily a wish list. It contains items like a new pair of sweatpants, music, or gloves — never anything like a new Xbox or cellphone, Bily said “You wouldn’t believe how a new pair of sneakers and a really warm winter jacket can change someone’s life,” McArdle said. “It really helps because most of our patients want to pay their bills first and they put themselves last. It’s nice to put them first for once, and they’re so appreciative for it.” Only first names are shared, in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Bily said once a group has participated in the program, it almost always does so again.

That’s true of the cancer center’s radiology department, which has adopted a family every year. Elizabeth Kramer said her 22-person department looks forward to the holiday tradition.

“We’re all very fortunate and we want to help these people that are in need,” she said. “A lot of them cannot afford to buy gifts for their family, so we enjoy purchasing and wrapping presents for them.”

Radiology is adopting a family of four this year — a mom, a dad and two children. Kramer said the father asked for music to relax and “zone out” while he receives chemo. Kramer added the radiology department always purchases a supermarket gift card as well.

In December 2014, Judith Mitchell, a mother of five was receiving radiation at the center to treat her breast cancer, and she needed help. She knew she would have trouble affording gifts such as clothes and shoes for her holiday presents for her children.

Mitchell was asked by cancer center staff if she wanted to participate in the program.

“The program was a blessing because there’s no way we could have done for these children what our adopters had done,” she said. “It’s nice to know that people are really willing to help others who cannot help themselves, because sometimes when you have cancer, it’s hard. My cancer did not affect me alone, it affected my whole family.”

Business owners in the community also get involved.

“What’s nice about this program is that it’s giving and it warms the heart,” Jennifer Scarlatos, co-owner of Toast Coffeehouse in Port Jefferson, said. “It’s such a beautiful experience being able to provide gifts and it gets your mind off yourself during the holiday season.”

She participated in the program with her employees last year, and also helped her daughter’s fourth-grade class at Setauket Elementary School adopt a family.

Teacher Eric Gustafson said it was a great opportunity to remind his students of the importance of giving — not just receiving. He remembered the children excitedly telling each other about gifts they picked out while they all wrapped the presents together.

“It was such a fun day and the kids really got into it,” he said.

“Once you put together everything they bought, it made for a pretty impressive pile, and it put us in the spirit of giving.”

Gustafson encouraged other classrooms to participate, and Kramer added churches and other groups should consider it as well.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

File photo

Turkey is not the only thing the TBR staff is thankful for this year.

Many reasons to give thanks As we approach Thanksgiving our editorial staff want to reflect on what reasons, small and big, we have to be thankful for this year.

Victoria Espinoza, editor of the Times of Huntington and Times of Smithtown

I’m thankful for my immigrant father, who came from Colombia and chose to make a life in the United States, thus giving me a life here. I’m thankful for my mother who married that Colombian “nutjob” and raised me right because she’s one hell of a woman.

And most importantly I’m thankful for my Xbox, which is one of the most beautiful inventions ever made and I will never live without one again and I love it.

Desirée Keegan, managing editor, sports editor, editor of The Times of Middle Country

I’m thankful for a great World Series, especially with the Chicago Cubs coming out on top; Vice President Joe Biden’s memes that provide much-needed pick-me-ups; and John Mayer’s “Room for Squares” album.

Donna Newman, editor of the Village Times Herald

I am thankful for my grandchildren because they are the best!

Max, Arlo, Ellis and Henry bring me more joy than anyone could imagine; reasonably good health because it makes life so much more enjoyable as the years go by; and opportunities that fall into your lap at unexpected moments that keep you on your toes and encourage you to grow.

Alex Petroski, editor of the Port Times Record

I’m thankful for my mom’s stuffing and mashed potatoes; that since I replaced Elana Glowatz as the editor of the Port Times Record it hasn’t yet burst into flames; and Jacob DeGrom.

Kevin Redding, reporter

I’m thankful for my lovely girlfriend and supportive family, my new job at this excellent paper and popcorn.

To liberals: You lost, get over it I have seen such a bunch of cry babies and sore losers as both of you we are getting rid of a president who had divided this country more than any other president in history. The news media and most cable TV channels did not cover the news and showed their true bias.

Black Lives Matter has called for the killing of police officers. The urban communities for the past 60 years have been ruled by the liberals and Democrats and have totally been destroyed. The liberals and Democrats will not allow school choice or charter schools.

Trump has never said anything

against the gay community. All we see are lies and scare tactics from people like you. You lost, the country has spoken.

To those who voted for Donald Trump Let me start by saying that I did not vote for Mr. Trump but I very much hope that he will be an excellent president.

I hope that most Americans did not vote for him because of his racist and sexist language and actions, but rather in spite of them.

Nonetheless, I feel compelled to share recent stories of hatred committed by and on fellow Americans that can only be attributed to Mr. Trump’s rise to power.

• Lehigh Valley, PA: high school students yelling gay slurs and Nwords in the halls, calling black students cotton pickers using “Heil Hitler” salutes.

• Santa Monica, CA: Gay man beaten and sent to hospital.

• Brooklyn: Man passes a woman Muslim wearing scarf, says “Your time is up sweetie.”

• Plano East High School, TX: group of boys rip off a girl’s hijab.

• Shasta High School Redding, CA: White students hand out “deportation letters” to Latino students.

• Wellsville: Baseball dugout spray painted “Make America White Again” with swastika.

These are but a small sample of the hateful actions reported in the first 24 hours after Trump was announced president-elect. I worry that this is only the beginning.

I hope that many of you who supported Mr. Trump are as nauseated by these actions as I am, and I hope you will join me in fighting this hatred.

We must display and acknowledge the inherent worth and dignity of every human being, regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, etc. We must heed the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We should celebrate the diversity among us. May kindness prevail over hatred.

Jaymie Meliker Port Jefferson

In response to a concerned immigrant With a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

In response to Mr. Espinoza’s unhappiness with our nation in which he resides (letter Nov. 10, “An immigrant’s reaction to the

presidential results”), allow me to quote: “I am still puzzled over how I feel about belonging to a place that I can call home, while haven’t really felt patriotic here” while looking for a better future.

With the dilemma of a “better future,” I would suggest Mr. Espinoza revisits the land of his

birth, Colombia, and compare our “land of the free and the home of the brave.” America may not be perfect, but we are a far better nation than all others. Common sense: Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. God bless America.

OpiniOn A naughty and nice Thanksgiving list

I

’m going to blend the holidays, and make a naughty and a nice list of those things for which I’m thankful.

I’ll start with the nice.

I’m thankful for inspirational teachers. Every day, some teachers devote so much time and energy to their work that they ignite a passion for learning, a curiosity or a determination in their students that has the potential to pay dividends for decades. An inspired student reflects and emanates an educational light that,

By Daniel Dunaief in turn, can have a multiplier effect, encouraging their siblings, their friends and even their parents to learn and grow.

I’m thankful for the police who

D. None of the above

patrol our streets and who protect and serve us. They can and do tackle everything from delivering a baby on the Long Island Expressway to racing toward reports of someone with a weapon.

I’m also thankful for the firefighters, who rescue people trapped in burning buildings and who suffer through cold wind, rain and snow while doing their job.

I’m thankful for all the soldiers who, regardless of which president is in office, accept their responsibility and protect America’s interests wherever they serve.

I’m thankful for the scientists who dedicate themselves, tirelessly, to the pursuit of basic knowledge about everything from quarks and neutrinos, to the researchers who are on a mission to cure cancer, to understand autism, or to defeat fungi or viruses that threaten the quality and quantity of our lives.

I’m thankful for the sanitation workers who appear during the wee hours

of the morning, clear out our garbage and move on to the next house.

I’m thankful for the First Amendment. I’m grateful that our Founding Fathers decided we have the right not to remain silent. Our constitution guarantees us the kind of free speech that allows us to express our views, even if those opinions are contrary to those of our government or our neighbors.

OK, here’s the nasty list.

I’m thankful for the Internet, which prevents anyone from being wrong about anything, ever. Well, information on the Internet may also be inaccurate, but who cares? If it’s there and we repeat it, at least we’re echoing something someone else wrote, even if that person is an 8-year-old who is just learning to type and is posting something that looks like it could be right.

I’m thankful for all those people who honk at me when I don’t hit the accelerator the moment the light turns green. They remind me I should be efficient for all of our sakes and that I could be doing something much more

important, like looking up stuff on the Internet rather than sitting at a light.

I’m thankful I can roll my eyes in my head. How else could I deal with those events around me that I find insufferable, from listening to our political leaders rip into each other to engaging in arguments with people who know better and can show me all the information they use to back up their arguments on the Internet.

I’m thankful for the rain and the cold and the snow. OK, so this is in between a naughty and nice one, because I believe varied weather presents something for everyone. Sure, people don’t tend to like it when the temperature falls too far, but I enjoy the cold.

Besides, the winter provides a contrast to seasonable weather.

Finally, I’m thankful for prognosticators of all types, including the recent ones who seemed so sure of themselves about the results of the election.

They are a reminder that sure things don’t exist in any arena, even those with a preponderance of pontificators.

Differing opinions across the Thanksgiving table

T

hanksgiving is arriving at the right time. With so much to be thankful for, it should be hard to remember one’s passions about the outcome of the recent presidential election. Yet there is talk about families who are calling off their Thanksgiving reunions around grandma’s richly laden table because they don’t want to talk politics with relatives who were on the “other” side.

By Leah S. Dunaief What a travesty, as if anything were more important or enduring than the safety net of family.

People have a right to think differently, even if they are related.

There is, after all, no accounting for the distribution of genes, and anyway that’s not important in the scheme of things. What is important is the love family members feel for

Between you and me

each other and the security that they have each other’s backs. If that is not the relationship one has with one’s family, I guess differing political opinions are a good enough reason to break off what was a meaningless business of just going through the kinship motions to begin with.

Even though the present situation is not nearly as dire, I am reminded of the Civil War or the War Between the States, which pitted brother against brother on the battlefield.

That was a tragedy of deepest proportions. Right now, we are merely dealing with the outcome of an election whose consequences are perhaps feared or cheered but have not been actualized. If matters do get worse in our nation, we are going to need each other all the more to manage. And if they get better, then we can all cheer together.

Let’s wait and see — and break bread together, treasuring the love that binds us rather than the rhetoric that divides us.

As we go forward, we should remain vigilant about what is happening in our country and speak truth to those in power. The end of the

election, at long last, is but the beginning of the next chapter. We have the right, as Americans, to speak our minds and expect those who represent us to hear us. Indeed, we have the obligation to remain active in our society, letting our lawmakers know how we feel even as we set an example of staying informed and engaged for our children and grandchildren.

What we should take great care to do, however, is work to separate fact from fiction. Communication in today’s world is infinitely more complicated than when our founding patriots read newspapers to learn what was happening. And even then, they had to be sure whose words they were reading and whether the writers could be trusted. By comparison today, there are so many different vehicles claiming to give the “facts.”

Newspapers, radio and TV networks have been joined by cable, the Internet and dangerously, social media, where anyone can say anything without the benefit of fact-checking and their words can be transmitted to literally millions of people.

This is how jihadists woo recruits.

This is also how politicians’ supporters win voters. So how can one tell if what one is reading is fact? The answer is obvious but hard. We must use that same Internet to check out what we have read on social media, not just assume that what we are told is correct because it comes from a good friend or loved one. Facts must be corroborated by multiple news sources, not just by opinions.

Indeed, the more dramatic an assertion, the more likely it will be published in many places, not just on Facebook or Twitter.

Also, we need to talk with more than each other, by which I mean those with similar views. We need to talk to people on the “other” side of issues and ideology. At the least, we may learn how they come to the conclusions they do. And maybe we can hear something we might agree with, creating a bridge and not a wall. Some of those we talk with might even be our relatives. But that brings me back to grandma’s dining room table: Wait until everyone has finished and enjoyed dinner first before discussions commence.

Happy Thanksgiving!
