Town Former State Supreme Court Justice Honored as Parade Grand Marshal BY JULIANNE MOSHER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

marshal, but wasn’t able to as a sitting judge. Now it’s his time to shine. “I’m honored to have this bestowed onto me,” he said. “I’m moved by the whole thing, and I’m excited to be the Grand Marshal for the 86th Huntington St. Patrick’s Day Parade.” Greg Kennedy, his good friend and past president of Division IV of the Ancient Order of the Hibernians, said that Asher was an immediate thought when the past grand marshals meet every year to decide who the next one will be. “He’s a pillar to the community,” Kennedy said. “He’s someone that you would go to for advice.” While holding dozens of honors, titles and participating in plenty of philanthropy, Kennedy said that this is Asher’s time to represent Division IV. “It’s his time to lead us proudly down Main Street on March 8,” he said.
The Huntington St. Patrick’s Day Parade will begin at 2 p.m. in Huntington Village March 8, rain or shine. The parade runs
along Route 110 beginning slightly north of Broadway and makes a left on Route 25A to end by St. Patrick’s R.C. Church.

Decades after moving to Huntington with his family at 13, the Honorable W. Gerard Asher will lead the 86th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade down Main Street. “Huntington is a great community and it has been for many, many years,” he said. Known locally as Jerry, the 78-year-old has been a proactive citizen in the town for more than six decades. A graduate of Huntington High School’s class of 1959, Asher was president of the senior class, captain of the championship football team and team captain of the basketball team — hobbies that still interest him today. “I like to attend the local high school sporting games,” he said. “I want to show my support because I played when I was a student there.” Asher married his high school sweetheart, Sylvia, and they have been together for 56 years. He graduated from Princeton University in 1963, Cornell Law School in 1966 and then served two years in the U.S. Army as captain and commander of a Hawk missile battery in Korea. When Asher came back to Long Island in 1969, he began practicing law with an emphasis in real estate, surrogate law, litigation and sports law for 36 years in Huntington. “Huntington has great people,” he said. “All of my family still lives here. and I’ve made so many friends throughout the years.” In 2004, Asher was elected to district court, where he tried numerous criminal matters and was the drug court judge for Suffolk County for two years. In 2010, he was elected justice of the state Supreme Court — a title he held up until he resigned in 2017 at age 76. “I like to keep working,” he laughed. “I’m semiretired, but I like the idea of having something to do everyday.” Asher said that throughout his time volunteering and working within Huntington, he was constantly told he should become grand

LI Officials Call on MTA to Rescind Planned LIRR Fare Hike BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Local and state officials, along with citizen advocates voiced a collective message to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and New York City during a press conference at Ronkonkoma train station on March 2: “Stop shortchanging Long Island.” The group called on the MTA to abandon its plan for a systemwide 4 percent fare increase in 2021 for Long Island Rail Road customers, including those in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The decision was a part of the NYC Outer Borough Rail Discount plan which offers an up to 20 percent discount for city riders. “Long Island is not the cash cow for New York City,” said Ed Romaine (R), Brookhaven Town supervisor. “This is unconscionable, this is a handout to the city at the expense of Long Island.” Romaine said a typical Ronkonkoma LIRR commuter who purchases a monthly parking pass, monthly train ticket and unlimited ride Metrocard would have to pay $7,224 annually. “The MTA has not made the capital investments it should on Long island — what about our riders?” Romaine said. The supervisor added that Long Island has already been shortchanged regarding electrification, as there is no electrification east of Huntington and none past the Ronkonkoma station. The discounts were mandated by the state
Health
Legislature as a condition of its approval of congestion pricing legislation, which would create new tolls for drivers in Manhattan to help fund the authority’s $51.5 billion capital program. The plan will go into effect in May of this year. Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) also took issue with the MTA’s decision. “We had the congestion pricing vote, which I voted against it,” he said. “This is completely counterintuitive to the folks using the trains. Congestion pricing was meant to get individuals to start using public transportation and not use their vehicles.” He added that the MTA has billions of dollars of subsidies from the state and federal government. “This is a New York City problem — we should not bear the brunt of it,” he said. “Mayor [Bill] de Blasio [D] should pay for this — they are overwhelmingly serviced [by the MTA].” The MTA board is made up of 21 stakeholders appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), including people recommended by unions and municipalities such as the city and surrounding counties. Kevin Law represents Suffolk County, and was nominated by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D). The other Long Island representative, David Mack, represents Nassau. Despite their differences, officials continued to agree with the planned change at a Feb. 26 board meeting, saying they expect the up to 20

percent discount to entice Queens and Brooklyn commuters to use the LIRR if they live far from a subway line. MTA officials say this is a pilot program up to one year’s duration. However, on Long Island, other local officials voiced their displeasures. Ed Smyth (R), Huntington Town councilman, said commuters will essentially be paying for their ticket and for somebody in NYC. “Everything is being pushed out to Long Island in terms of expenses and it won’t be long until you’re expected to buy them a coffee and a bagel as well,” he said. Kevin LaValle (R-Selden), Brookhaven Town councilman, said the MTA plan would negatively affect the progress they’ve made to
bring transit-oriented development to the area. “On a town level, this is something we’ve been working on for years,” he said. “The Tritec [Ronkonkoma Hub] development is an example of that. It will make it easier for Long islanders to get into the city. With these fee increases it will make it harder for them to afford to live here and ride here.” Palumbo added he will be writing a letter to Cuomo in the coming days and will ask Long Island representatives from both political parties to sign it. The assemblyman is hopeful the plan can be changed before the NYS budget deadline next month. “Hopefully he can see it, and this can be fixed on April 1 — I’m just hoping that it doesn’t fall on deaf ears,” he said.
NY State Earmarks Funds, BNL Cancels Conference Due to Coronavirus BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With six cases of coronavirus Covid-19 in New York state confirmed as at March 4, state, local institutions are preparing for the potential spread of the virus. New York lawmakers earlier this week passed a $40 million spending bill. The funds will allow the Department of Health to hire staff, purchase equipment and gather additional resources to address a virus for which a travel ban no longer seems sufficient to ensure containment. A 50-year old Westchester man tested positive for the virus, even though he didn’t travel to areas of contamination, which include China, South Korea and Italy, and didn’t have known contact with anyone who has traveled to those areas. Through the so-called community spread of the virus, which has a mortality rate of more than 3 percent, can infect a wider range of people. Northwell Health Labs said earlier this week it expects to begin testing for Covid-19 within
a week. The health facility, which announced the future testing at a news conference March 2 with U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), said manual testing could involve 75 to 100 tests each day. After it automates the tests, the facility could process hundreds and even thousands of tests on a daily basis. Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson is part of Northwell Health group. Meanwhile, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Stony Brook University have made recommendations to staff who might travel to areas of infection. BNL is following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and the State Department regarding health notices and travel advisories. The U.S. State Department has a donot-travel restriction on trips to China and Iran, along with specific areas of Italy and South Korea, while it also recommends reconsidering travel to Italy, South Korea and Mongolia. Also, BNL is asking visiting scientists if they
traveled to China or live with someone who visited China within 14 days. If the answer to either question is “yes,” these individuals have to complete a 14-day period away from China without symptoms before returning to the lab. BNL canceled the International Forum on Detectors for Photon Science conference, which was scheduled for March 29 through April 1 at Danfords Hotel in Port Jefferson. The conference was expected to have 40 participants. CSHL has told participants from these same countries that they may not attend any upcoming meetings or courses unless they provide certification that they have left those countries 15 days prior to the event. The lab has provided access to conferences through video streaming. The Cold Spring Harbor-based lab is also canceling all upcoming events that bring visitors to its campus until April 5. Also, CSHL is cleaning common areas including bathrooms, counters and dining areas more frequently, is providing more hand sanitation stations, is enhancing the readiness
of its Center for Health & Wellness and is providing secure transfer protocols for at-risk people with potential symptoms of the virus. SBU discouraged school-related and personal travel to China, Italy, Iran and South Korea. The school also created a mandatory preapproval requirement for all publicly funded university-sponsored travel plans to China, Italy, Iran and South Korea. SBU has not canceled the Florence University of the Arts program, since the university is continuing classes as usual and the Tuscany region doesn’t have any reported cases of the virus. On a national level, the Federal Reserve, in a move similar to decisions from other central banks, cut interest rates by half a percentage point, the biggest cut since the financial crisis of 2008. The cut was designed to stave off an economic slowdown caused by business disruptions from the coronavirus. “The coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity,” the Federal Reserve said in a statement.

Commack Resident, Cancer Survivor Gives Back to Medical Center BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
While receiving treatment for leukemia, Dave Wolmetz distracted himself with plans to open an indoor adventure park, and now that business is allowing him to give back to the center that enabled him to carry on with his dream. Wolmetz, of Commack, and his business partner and childhood friend, Keith Handler, have pledged to raise $100,000 for the Hematologic Malignancies and Stem Cell Transplant team at Stony Brook University Cancer Center over the course of five years. On Feb. 27, they presented doctors and nurses with the first installment of $20,000 at their Urban Air Lake Grove adventure park. The business opened in November 2019 and includes an indoor coaster, ropes course, indoor playground and more. Dr. Huda Salman, director of both the Hematologic Malignancies Service and the CAR T Cellular Therapy Program, said Urban Air’s pledge will be a big help to the research program, which recently received approval for its first trial by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. At the Feb. 27 press conference, Wolmetz called the members of the medical team at Stony Brook “heroes.” The date of the installment presentation had a special meaning for him. “My motivation was to recognize that I

have a second opportunity around — second birthday today, Feb. 27, it’s the date of my stem cell transplant,” he said. “And this serves my purpose on the Earth at this point, to give back and create lives for cancer survivors.” Wolmetz underwent total body irradiation
and chemotherapy at the hospital after being diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia in 2018. His treatment at Stony Brook inspired him to start the nonprofit Why Not Us Foundation, with the hopes of raising funds for the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell research program at the cancer center. The

program supports Stony Brook scientists who work on developing personalized cell therapy to treat blood cancers. Wolmetz said patients spend a lot of time alone and planning Urban Air with Handler helped him get through some difficult times. The business partners, who both graduated from Ward Melville High School in 1988, said they were tired of seeing so many people engaged in a digital world. It inspired them to create a place where children could get out and be physical, which plays into healthy habits. “We talked about things over the years, but we never got serious until two years ago, and one thing led to another,” Handler said, adding the best reviews they get are when parents say they got their best night’s sleep because their children slept in after running around the indoor park. Wolmetz and Handler said the decision to donate locally was an easy one for them. Wolmetz said it was excellent medical care, a positive attitude and faith that got him to a place where he could think of other things, including giving back to those going through the same experience that he had. “We both agreed it was an important initiative that when we serve the community with our business to give a percentage and proceeds back to a meaningful campaign,” he said.

State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT.

Words Fired Over Huntington Issues Between Lupinacci and Gaughran BY JULIANNE MOSHER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A statement released by Huntington Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) last week attacked the stances of state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) on the new bail reform and Long Island Power Authority, saying that “reasonable people can see political pandering in an election year for what it is: cheap, divisive and unproductive.” Titled “Lupinacci to Gaughran: Do Your Homework and Stop Misleading Our Residents for Political Gain,” the release was published by Lauren Lembo, Lupinacci’s public information officer on Wednesday, Feb. 26. “The supervisor doesn’t typically feel the need to call out political grandstanding, but he draws a line when it comes to the public being misled,” Lembo said. His statements delve into several issues the community is facing and claim that Gaughran’s “yes” vote on the bail law is misleading Huntington residents for political gain. “After Senator Jim Gaughran voted for the ill-conceived and not very well thought out ‘criminal justice reform’ package, which made our neighborhoods less safe, eliminated a judge’s

discretion to help keep dangerous people off the streets, created a revolving door for repeat offenders, and mandated victims’ addresses and contact information be shared with defendants, the senator has ramped up his political pandering in an effort to sweep this disastrous failure under the rug,” the statement said. Lupinacci also voiced his concern of the continuing discussion over the Northport-East Northport school district residents, where he claims Gaughran instilled fear into the town’s residents with incorrect facts. “Pandering to the fears of Northport-East
Northport school district residents, the senator waved a New York State DEC permit review report for the Northport power plant at the cameras during his press conference on January 24, but he didn’t have his facts straight when he tried to scare residents into thinking the plant was in severe violation of state and federal air pollution standards,” the statement read. “In fact, he had his facts so wrong that not only did LIPA call him out on his staff’s inability to understand the meaning of words in the DEC document describing the entire New York metro area — and not just the Northport plant.”
The state senator was quick to fire back. “Instead of fighting LIPA’s reckless assault against taxpayers, Supervisor Lupinacci spent the last two years focused on sexual assault allegations against himself,” he said, referring to Lupinacci’s current civil suit with his former aide, Brian Finnegan, who accused the supervisor of sexually assaulting him during a trip to Albany. Gaughran was also behind a bill in Albany that reinforces reporting requirements in certain cases of sexual harassment or human rights revelations. The senator was motivated by Huntington’s former public safety director being forced to resign after sending an inappropriate email about a female employee. Before the resignation, there were complaints by councilmembers that Lupinacci withheld that information, when it should have been reported initially. “It’s shameful he’s more concerned with protecting himself, and now his political cronies, than the town he was elected to lead,” Gaughran added. “This sounds a lot like a statement coming from a supervisor making excuses who is about to cave in to LIPA to bankrupt our taxpayers and devastate our schools.”
Regional Council, Panel Try to Solve Solid Waste Crisis BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM About 100 people crowded into the lower level of a Melville office building Feb. 27. All were there to talk about what ends up in the trash bin. Yet, despite the dry subject matter, all knew that garbage will be the talk of Suffolk County and beyond in just a few short years. The Long Island Regional Planning Council hosted a meeting about what Long Island does with its garbage and, in particular, how the region will dispose of millions of solid waste when the Town of Brookhaven landfill closes in 2024. The discussion brought together local elected officials, environmentalists, waste management company representatives and the state Department of Environmental Conservation, among others. Michael White, vice chair of the planning council, outlined the issue to attendees in a presentation. Currently, the Brookhaven landfill handles over 350,000 tons of ash annually from energyfrom-waste facilities, in addition to handling 720,000 tons of solid waste. “Solid waste management is achieved through a public and private sector partnership,” White
said. “Trash is either burned or exported to four energy-from-waste facilities on the island.” The facilities in Hempstead, HuntingtonSmithtown, Babylon and Islip are all operated by Covanta Energy. The Babylon location handles about 50,000 tons of waste. “The remainder of the residential trash is shipped off on trucks to upstate landfills,” the vice chair of the planning council said. White said waste from Oyster Bay, the Town of North Hempstead, Riverhead, Southampton and East Hampton get driven off the island. “We have thousands of tons of waste shipped off Long Island every day, resulting in further stress on our aging and congested highway and bridge infrastructure,” he said. “And this approach is bringing us everincreasing costs.” In a panel following the presentation, experts and officials discussed potential solutions and ideas to what was called a “looming crisis.” “The amount of waste generated on Long
Island is increasing,” White said. “With the current volume at the Brookhaven landfill, that means 720,000 tons a year of waste has to find a home somewhere, and another 350,000 tons of ash from the energy from waste facilities will have to find a home somewhere.” Will Flower, the vice president of regional trash carting company Winters Bros., said statistics show each person produces about 4 1/2 pounds of waste a day. Each day 2,000 trucks transport —Ed Romaine waste off the island. An option mentioned was increasing the use of rail cars to transport solid waste. About 6,000 rail cars carry 600,000 tons of waste off the island. Other attendees and panelists said stakeholders need to come up with more innovative ways to handle waste. Ideas included turning ash into building materials and pulverizing recyclable glass to use in road materials. Flower showed a piece of landfill equipment damaged by glass as a result of it being put with
‘It’s not a looming crisis — It’s now.’
other waste, adding that glass can be and should be recycled. Since China’s 2018 decision to ban the import of most plastics and other materials used by its recycling processors, a number of municipalities have altered programs and in cases have reduced or eliminated recycling. Suffolk County has recently created a Regional Recycling Assessment Task Force in an effort to tackle the issue. Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) called for a regional effort. “It’s not a looming crisis — It’s now,” he said. “Either we get together as a region to resolve this and have a path forward, or this is going to be yet another thing that makes Long Island less desirable to live and work.” The supervisor stressed that the region needs to act to find ways beyond either burning or storing waste in landfills. “I can’t believe in 2020 that’s the only two ways to deal with waste; we need to do something now before we run out of time,” he said. Officials from the planning council said they plan on forming a subcommittee to look at the solid waste management crisis and asked attendees to help them develop further recommendations.

School News
Humanitarians at Northport High School Travel to Kenya
On Feb. 14, Northport High School’s humanitarian club — Students for 60,000 (SF60K) — departed for Mtito Andei, Kenya, to begin constructing a new school for the students of the Ivani school district. In recent months, the district’s former school had succumbed to the elements and was further destroyed by animals, forcing the students to attend classes outside or in severely damaged structures. Northport High School students embarked on this maiden voyage to a new continent with “great courage, faith and resolve,” according to Assistant Principal Terrence Hinson. He added that the club’s members understood the inevitable obstacles and challenges of such an ambitious endeavor, but remained committed to the task at hand, understanding the needs and daily struggles of the community’s children and parents.
Many lessons were learned during the course of the students’ week-long endeavor; however, one that was reinforced regularly was the necessity for education. The student volunteers were told repeatedly that, with access to education, Kenya’s children would be more likely to succeed in breaking the cycle of poverty. Constructing a school is a crucial step toward realizing that hope, but SF60K understands that it is the relationships built along the way, more than the structures themselves, that will cultivate lasting change. The Northport students are dedicated to building positive relationships within the Kenya community and plan to return to Mtito Andei many times to see the project to completion. The club is planning to host a public forum in April, to teach Northport community members about their mission and encourage others to get involved.

Letters to the Editor Editorial The Trash Imperative It’s now become obvious that Long Island has a garbage problem. It’s an issue that’s not going away. The Town of Brookhaven is set to close its landfill in 2024, and after many municipalities altered their recycling programs when China’s decision to ban the import of most plastics and other materials used by its recycling processors in 2018, our communities can’t avoid the problem anymore. The Brookhaven landfill alone handles about 350,000 tons of ash annually from energy-from-waste facilities, in addition to handling 720,000 tons of solid waste. A representative from a local carting company at a recent Long Island Regional Planning Council meeting said that one person can produce 4 1/2 pounds of garbage a day and that 2,000 trucks daily transport waste off the Island. While waste is transported off Long Island to upstate New York, opting for more trucking leads to more traffic and exhaust fumes exacerbating already poor air quality, plus damage to the roads. Transporting more garbage by rail can be a better option. In our easily disposal world, overflowing garbage pails wind up going to landfills that are near capacity. It’s important for residents not only to ask their legislators to think outside of the box to come up with a solution but also to look inside their homes and be mindful when discarding rubbish. We’re not talking about anything radical, like fitting all of your trash from a year in a jar, but many products are thrown out when they can be fixed. While it may not make a huge dent in the number of stuff thrown out yearly, repair cafés, like the one recently hosted at Comsewogue Public Library, are an option instead of just buying something new. If one of these events can’t be found in an area, YouTube is filled with videos on how to repair various items. A simple Google search really can do wonders. New York State’s ban on plastic bags is a good step, but there needs to be a new way of looking at buying items, possible forgoing one-use items like plastic water bottles for refillable, reusable on-the-go drinkware and being vigilant about separating garbage. Requesting towns to revert to better recycling programs, where glass is part of the process, is also a must. Long Island is just that, an island, and the problem is that we have no real way to take our garbage and simply take it somewhere else. Shipping our trash off the Island will only mean more traffic and broken roads. Indeed, we on Long Island have to look at other places that are more like us in geography for solutions. In Japan, residents and visitors to the country are expected to separate their waste into combustible, incombustible, oversized garbage and then glass bottles and cans. The precise separation of waste leads to more post-consumer use recycled items, and the country is an example of how it can be done. In nearby South Korea, which has only half a peninsula for itself, has little room for additional dumps or landfills. In restaurants or even food courts, people are expected to use metal utensils and cups which are cleaned and reused. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) recently introduced legislation to amend the state Environmental Conservation Law to establish a New York State goal where no less than 85 percent of solid waste to be reduced, reused, recycled or composted by 2030. That is an ambitious goal, but even looking to reach those heights could do us a wealth of good. Municipalities, waste management services and our local residents should get on board.

Time for Our Elected Officials to Move Forward My name is Jim McGoldrick, a lifelong resident of Huntington Station. Recently there have been several news articles concerning a personal matter in Huntington Town Hall. As many would agree there is no place in town government for inappropriate behavior and that all town employees should act professionally. The individual who made this inappropriate mistake took responsibility for his error and resigned his position within Town Hall. Problem solved. It is time for our elected officials to move forward and concentrate on the vital issues looming over Huntington’s future and stop using this personal matter to point fingers at each other. There are several issues on our horizon that this Huntington Town Board needs to work on together and find a resolution to these matters. The first issue is the LIPA tax certiorari lawsuit which needs all hands on deck working together and thinking outside the box to ensure the Town of Huntington and the Northport-East Northport school district not only resolves but wins this litigation. Instead of automatically saying “no” to a possible solution, say
maybe the lack of the approval from the state Public Authorities Control Board could be the solution or maybe the solution is the proposed bills in Albany. Why are the majority not doing this? The only councilmember who seems to be fighting is Councilman Eugene Cook (R). Another issue is the health and safety of the Huntington residents, when is this not the responsibility of our elected officials. It does not matter if you’re talking about the need to close Northport Middle School due to possible contamination or last year’s stabbing of a young man at Burger King in Huntington Station or the SCPD resource officers staying in our schools and improving the relationships with the youth and the police department. Instead, I heard from most board members that this is not my jurisdiction, it is the school district’s problem. Don’t you people understand these are our children their health and safety are our priority? All, except Councilman Cook, who said, “How can I help?” Because of his efforts, working with the 2nd Precinct and the community, we now
have a free soccer program bridging the relationships in our communities. Also, other government agencies and the Northport-East Northport school board decided to look closer at the health issues in the middle school and removed the students from a questionable environment. Last and not least, make Huntington Town Hall run efficiently, professionally and transparently. It is a very sad state of affairs when councilmembers lecture from the dais at a Huntington Town Board meeting about how the appointed positions are not vetted properly. Yet when asked where are the candidates they want to be considered, the comment is it is not my job to find the candidates to be interviewed. Yet, you held a press conference to complain you were not part of the decision-making process in a personal issue. The time is now, make a decision. What is your job: To be part of the solution to make the best decisions for our town or to continue to play party politics? Jim McGoldrick Huntington Station
Trump’s Politicized Response to Coronavirus Prediction: President Donald Trump (R) will blame the Democrats for the coronavirus health crisis and its impact on the economy. He will call them “Do nothing Democrats.” He will label the media that doesn’t back him (or just sticks to accurate journalism) “fake news.” He will claim that we are “winning.” He and his cronies will shout that those who oppose him are “politicizing” the story. Have I gotten it right so far? Oh … one more thing, Fox News will be his mouthpiece. Fact of the matter is, at a time when the federal government needs true science more than ever before, Trump has
at the very least a credibility crisis. This is the president who tried to ban the CDC from using certain words including: vulnerable, diversity, entitlement, transgender, fetus, evidence-based and science-based. This is a man who has called climate change the greatest hoax of all time. And most relevant to the current situation, Trump has supported the notion that childhood vaccines cause autism. He changed his mind on the latter when he saw the political fallout and not because of scientific analysis. He has consistently scorned the scientific community, but now he needs them. Trump’s definition of truth is based
on only one thing — how it makes him look, facts and thoughtful analysis be damned. Having lived this nightmare for more then three years, now that we have a real health crisis that requires real science to resolve, Trump has a credibility problem and so long as Trump remains president, humanity has a problem too. I would like to be able to say Trump will step up to the plate and do what is right for all Americans. We’re all susceptible to coronavirus, but with Trump’s history, how can anyone have confidence?

A Birthday to Remember in the Big Easy
I
just celebrated an incredible birthday, thanks to the thoughtfulness of friends and family who took the time to talk with me and shop for greatly appreciated gifts. Each year, these birthdays have the potential to be challenging, especially given that mine often comes some time around school midterms. Even though I’m no longer watching the calendar to see how many days I have left before I D. None have to take a big test, of the above I still ride that roller coaster vicariously BY DANIEL DUNAIEF with my children. This year, however, enormous and difficult tests didn’t hang over us, like the academic sword of Damocles.
For starters, before my birthday celebration kicked in, my sister-in-law and brother-inlaw sent me AirPods. I knew I was supposed to open the gift on my birthday, but I’m not exactly the most patient person when it comes to opening presents. Gee, I wonder where my kids get that trait? Anyway, the reaction from my son was almost as enjoyable as the present itself. When he saw me wearing them, he said, “How did you get those?” as if the question were an accusation. “My friends all have them.” My daughter did a test run with me, chatting with me on FaceTime while she stared at my ears instead of at my uneven sideburns or the hairy bridge connecting my eyebrows. It’s increasingly rare these days for anything I do, say or wear to be considered “up to date,” so this wonderful gift hit the mark. I’m enjoying using the AirPods at the gym, where I don’t have to worry about the wire bouncing around when I’m running or after I’ve exercised, when I’m panting as I lean
over the water fountain. The best part, though, is that they allow me to talk with someone while I’m walking my dog and picking up his droppings. I don’t have to worry about the wire coming lose when he suddenly pulls hard on the leash to chase a rabbit or to run away from the sudden noise a desiccated leaf makes when it blows in the wind behind us. Yes, despite his 90-pound body, he finds the unexpected noise from leaves threatening. While I insisted to my wife that she didn’t need to buy anything for me, she purchased several items of clothing, like shorts and shirts that fit, look good and are incredibly comfortable. She also got this terrific jacket that repels the white dog hair that has rendered the rest of my outerwear ridiculous when interacting with members of the general public. This birthday we ventured to the Big Easy, where the ubiquitous music still resonates. We took a paddleboat ride and heard about
the Mississippi River and the site of the Battle of New Orleans. The oak trees lining the bank are about 250 to 300 years old, which means that the same trees stood in the same spot during the battle. My teenage son, who isn’t always the picture of patience with his demanding dad, played with me and allowed me to hug him in public during the weekend. That was better than any gift he could have purchased. My daughter, meanwhile, celebrated vicariously from college. A few of her friends wandered into the screen and wished me the best. Finally, I connected by phone with college roommates, nephews, brothers and my mom, who was a critical part of that day so many years ago. Birthdays have, at times, made me feel older and displaced. This one, with the meaningful conversations, the laughter with my wife and children and the chats with friends and relatives, as well as the “cool” gifts, made me feel so young.
Early Voting Equality for All Women and Men, Regardless of Race
I
n this year of celebrating a century since women were granted the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment, I will tell you a true tale from the dustbin of history. Women voted for three decades after the American Revolution. They voted from 17761807 alongside men in, of all places, New Jersey. How do I know? Jennifer Between Schuessler tells you and me me so in the Feb. 24 edition of The BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF New York Times. The women
were only stopped from voting after “rampant fraud and corruption.” For example it seems that some men put on dresses to vote multiple times. New Jersey passed a law then, limiting voting in 1807 to white men. Was it an early expression of gender equality or a legal loophole that enabled women — and African Americans — to vote at the dawn of our country? Or was that a myth? The Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia located new-found poll lists that show women voted in “significant numbers” before they were denied. In August of this year the museum will open an exhibit called ironically, “When Women Lost the Vote,” featuring those documents. This is a great triumph for the museum and the tale. While other states limited the vote to “freemen” or male inhabitants, New Jersey gave the right to vote to all “inhabitants” as

long as “they” could show they had property worth 50 pounds. That ruled out most married women, whose property or income went to their husbands when they married. However, the law enfranchised many women, regardless of race, in New Jersey — or so the early story went. But where was the proof? Then, an 1801 poll list from Montgomery Township, found in the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton, was the first real modern-day evidence of numerous women voters. The state archives had acquired the lists in 2016 “from the descendants of a long-ago county clerk.” Now there are 18 poll lists from four New Jersey townships from 1797-1807 that have been found. Nine of them include 163 unique women’s names. The women had cast about 7.7 percent of total votes. On some lists, it was as much as 14 percent. An interesting corollary is that the

women’s names almost always appear in bunches, suggesting that women came to the polls in groups. Maybe that had something to do with the polls often being located in taverns “awash with drunkenness and guns,” according to The Times. Philip Mead, chief historian at the Museum of the American Revolution, explained that there was difficulty in determining who met the property requirements, which contributed to the end of gender and race equality in New Jersey. Still, Mead sees a positive message in this research for the museum’s exhibit: “In early New Jersey, we have women voting and African Americans voting. This is a story both about what we might have been, and about who we’ve become.” It is a fitting tale to mark the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month.
