After years of work getting the project off the ground, lawmakers had reason to gather and celebrate July 27.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D), Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) were among those gathered in Shoreham Friday to sign a bill approving the bonding of funds to advance the Rails to Trails project, a longplanned 10-mile recreational biking and hiking path that will run parallel to Route 25A from Mount Sinai to Wading River.

“It’s been a long journey after waiting 50 years since the Rails to Trails Recreational Path’s original inception, but I’m happy to say we are currently on track to move forward with construction of Long Island’s most

anticipated recreational project,” Anker said.

The bill authorized the county to borrow about $9 million to fund construction of the path, the vast majority of which will be reimbursable through federal grants, according to a press release from Anker’s office.

“As an individual with a genuine passion for nature, I look forward to seeing the completion of this project and hope that it encourages more people to explore all of the exciting recreational activities Suffolk County has to offer,” Bellone said.

The trail is in its final design phase and the county plans to release a bid for construction in the fall of 2018, with a contract expected to be awarded by the end of the year, according to a press release from Bellone’s office. Weather dependent, the project could see a shovel in the ground in winter 2018 or spring 2019.

Hospital seeks blood, platelet donors

The Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank is experiencing a need for blood products. The summer months are among the most challenging times of the year for blood and platelet donations.

Blood product inventories across the country decrease to low levels following the Fourth of July holiday, according to the blood bank.

Donating blood at the blood bank at SBU takes less than an hour and since all of the blood products that are donated at the hospital stay at the hospital, donations can save the lives of up to three patients in the community. Donating blood often brings up images of a high school gymnasium packed with chairs, and technicians tending to lines of people eager to donate.

The blood bank provides a personal place to donate blood, with familiar faces and registered nurses who provide one-on-one

care for a donor’s entire visit.

While supplies last, donors will receive a coupon for a free pint of Baskin-Robbins ice cream when giving blood, and for those who donate platelets, they will receive a folding captain’s chair.

Located within Stony Brook University Hospital, 101 Nicolls Road, Stony Brook, the blood bank is conveniently open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments can be scheduled to accommodate any schedule by calling 631-444-3662 or by going online to donateblood.stonybrookmedicine.edu.

You may also stop by the blood bank as walk-ins are welcome. After 4 p.m. call ahead as evening hours may vary. Parking is validated for the hospital patient/visitor parking lot.

Rain can’t stop Jewish celebration at WM Beach The overcast skies may have kept some people away July 25, but even a little drizzle didn’t dampen the spirits of attendees at the ninth annual Jewish Summer Festival sponsored by Chabad at Stony Brook at West Meadow Beach.

The evening included a kosher barbecue, concert with Israeli singer Yoel Sharabi and entertainment for all. A lively game of Simon Says with Steve Max kept adults as occupied as the kids.

The festival may be the last summer gathering before Chabad finishes the construction of a new state-of-the-art building on Nicolls Road in Stony Brook. A

13,000-square-foot facility will open in the coming months.

“It’s an exciting time for the Jewish community in central Suffolk County,” said Rabbi Motti Grossbaum. “We will be able to offer more Jewish classes, programs and events for all age groups, fostering increased Jewish opportunities, services and celebrations for all.”

For more information about Chabad at Stony Brook or to hear about available dedication opportunities in the new center at 360 Nicolls Road, Stony Brook, visit www. chabadSB.com or call 631-585-0521, ext. 101.

VILLAGE East Setauket financial adviser now faces federal charges

We’re happy that we work for Suffolk Transportation.

You can too.

During an 18-year span, an East Setauket financial adviser allegedly scammed at least 17 people out of more than $13 million, according to a federal indictment.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York has announced Steven Pagartanis faces nine federal charges.

The owner of Omega Planning Associates, was arrested and arraigned in federal court in Central Islip July 25 and was charged with security fraud, mail and wire fraud conspiracies, as well as money laundering for orchestrating a Ponzi scheme, according to a press release from the EDNY office.

The government alleged Pagartanis solicited individuals to invest in variable annuities, mutual funds and similar investments, according to court documents.

The at-least 17 individuals between January 2000 and March 2018 invested more than $13 million collectively with the defendant. The victims believed the money was for real estate investments, including a Canadian land development company, referred to as Company 1 in court documents. The individuals sustained losses of more than $8 million. The investors are listed as Jane and John Does in the court documents and live in various areas including Long Island, New Jersey, Illinois, California and Florida.

“Rather than investing in Company 1 and other investments as promised to the victims, the defendant Steven Pagartanis used the investment capital to repay prior investors and for his own personal benefit,” the court documents read. “For example, Pagartanis used the victims’ investment capital to pay for his personal and family expenses, and to purchase luxury items such as clothing, jewelry, airline tickets, massages and cigars.”

The defendant used interstate communications including telephone calls and emails to induce the victims to invest and to prevent them from withdrawing their investments, according to court documents.

“As alleged, Pagartanis conned vulnerable members of the community who had entrusted him with their hard-earned savings,” said Richard Donoghue, U. S. attorney, in a statement. “Protecting the elderly and the community at large from predators like the defendant is a priority of this office and the Department of Justice, and with our law enforcement partners we will continue to pursue that mission.”

SUFFOLK COUNTY

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Steven Pagartanis, owner of Omega Planning Associates in East Setauket, faces both county and federal charges for allegedly running a Ponzi scheme.

May 30 for allegedly stealing millions from elderly victims in a Ponzi scheme, according to a statement from the office of Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D). The financial adviser was arraigned in county District Court in Central Islip on two counts of first-degree grand larceny, a B felony, and two counts of seconddegree grand larceny, a C felony. According to the district attorney’s office, Pagartanis allegedly stole approximately $7.5 million from his victims in the county case.

A family member of one of the victims brought the case to the attention of the district attorney’s office. The four victims included in the felony complaints, who range in age from 64 to 83 years old, began investing in the scheme in 2013, according to the statement from Sini’s office.

Pursuant to a concurrent investigation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., Pagartanis was barred from acting as a securities broker April 10, according to FINRA’s website, brokercheck. finra.org. The site lists customer disputes as well as a judgment/lien against the former broker. In addition to the criminal charges, a civil lawsuit was filed against Pagartanis May 30 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to Sini’s office.

Attorney Kevin Keating of Garden City is representing Pagartanis. The defendant pleaded not guilty to the latest charges. Keating did not respond to a request for comment.

Ward Melville, Commack alumni give job aid to homeless

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

MATTHEW ROJAS

MATTHEW SOBEL

DAN GRAZIOSI

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reported in 2017 there were more than 550,000 homeless in the country. Three alumni from Ward Melville and Commack high schools have asked a simple question: How many are stuck that way simply because nobody can see their résumés?

“You never really know why someone became homeless,” said Dan Graziosi, 22, a Ward Melville graduate. He is chief executive officer of Lazarus Rising, a nonprofit created in 2015 that helps homeless people write their résumés and get ready for job interviews.

“A lot of the people don’t necessarily see the skills that they themselves have, and sometimes showing this person that they have value is almost more important than making a résumé for them,” Graziosi said.

Co-founders of Lazarus Rising, Ward Melville alum Matthew Sobel, 23, and Commack alum Matthew Rojas, 23, gave birth to the organization wondering, as sophomores at the University of Delaware, that if creating a résumé for them was difficult — two people who considered themselves privileged — then how tough would it be for a person without access to resources such as a computer?

“There’s a really unfortunate number of people who are experiencing homelessness,” Rojas said. “While some are unfortunately addicts, a lot of them don’t have basic things like a printer, Microsoft Word or they just haven’t had an interview in a long time.”

As they first walked into a Delaware homeless shelter in 2014, just a block away from their freshman dorm, the two did not have much in the way of community service experience. Yet at the shelter they met a man named Jeff, that while he had fallen on hard times since the 2008 recession, he also had years of experience managing

Dan Graziosi, Matthew Sobel and Matthew Rojas are the key players in the nonprofit Lazarus Rising, where volunteers help the homeless compose their résumés to help in their quests for employment. more than 20 people at a warehouse. The only problem was his résumé was five pages of a single-spaced biography rather than the commonly accepted single page bulleting a person’s most applicable skills.

“It kind of took our breath away knowing that an employer is throwing that right out the window,” Sobel said. “It’s not Jeff’s fault — he just didn’t know what standards there are in résumés.”

In 2015 Sobel, Rojas, Graziosi, along with several other friends and compatriots, incorporated their talents into the nonprofit Lazarus Rising, all while they were still undergrads.

“There is a subset of the homeless population that have the skills to be an amazing employee, but they simply lack the skills that we take for granted like being able to write a résumé,” Sobel said. “We all realized we came from super-fortunate situations, being from where we came from and what schools we came from. I came into college with minimal community service. It’s one

Which Body Type are YOU?

of those experiences you really can’t understand until you do it.”

Lazarus Rising has grown to host more than 200 volunteers offering their services either in school or during their free time.

They have college chapters at Binghamton University, University of Delaware, University of Maryland and the University of Pittsburgh and professional chapters in New York City and Philadelphia. Graziosi estimates that the organization has aided more than 300 homeless participants.

Volunteers for Lazarus Rising often spend approximately one hour with a homeless person working on his or her résumé. They then spend more time after completing mock interviews or even help the person navigate applying for jobs online.

Rojas said that it is one of the greatest satisfactions of his life having helped these people get back on their feet.

“It’s a feeling that what I’m doing actually makes a difference,” he said.

Meanwhile the group hopes to expand its

reach in New York state and eventually Long Island, most likely through local colleges like Stony Brook University.

All three alumni are out of college and have either found jobs or starting ones, but that has not stopped any of them from being active in the organization. While Graziosi will soon be taking on a job as a technology consultant for Ernst & Young, a professional services organization, he still plans to run as the nonprofit’s CEO into the foreseeable future.

Graziosi’s mother Sheila, a Setauket resident, said what her son and his friends have been able to accomplish has not only changed their lives, but the lives of many homeless.

“He’s amazing — I’m just so proud of him,” Graziosi’s mother said of her son.

“He’s really getting so much out of it.”

Lazarus Rising is looking for more volunteers. For more information about volunteer opportunities or to donate to Lazarus Rising, visit lazarusrising.org.

Family, colleagues remember former local pediatrician Dr. Leo Dvorken, former Setauket resident, founder of Selden pediatric group, dies at 86

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Years after he retired from his Suffolk County practice, a pediatrician and former Setauket resident is being remembered fondly by those who knew him.

Dr. Leo Dvorken, the founder of what is now known as Kids Care Pediatric Medicine P.C. in Selden, died July 21 at the age of 86.

At a funeral service July 24, Rabbi Stephen Karol and Rabbi Paul Sidlofsky addressed the mourners who filled Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook and read eulogies from Dvorken’s family members filled with anecdotes and praise.

His former practice partners were also on hand to pay tribute to a man they considered a valuable colleague and close friend.

In a eulogy written by his daughter Rachel, she described being in the presence of her father as a gift, calling him gentle, kind and possessing a joie de vivre, a French phrase meaning a joy for life.

“Whether it was pancakes at the diner, lobster fest at Bay Road East [Strong’s Neck], midnight boat rides, rainy day hikes, ski trips, sing-alongs in the car, watching our kids’ games or concerts or just hanging out — it was always fun,” she wrote in the eulogy. “I just loved being with my father.”

While Dvorken spent his final years in New Jersey, Temple Isaiah was the appropriate place for his funeral service.

His daughter wrote that her father, who was committed to Judaism and loved Israel, cared deeply about Temple Isaiah. When the temple couldn’t obtain a mortgage to

construct the building in the late 1960s, Dvorken was one of 13 members who personally guaranteed the mortgage, according to his daughter.

Born Oct. 19, 1931, he was the third child of Harry and May. Leo’s first brother, Simon, died before he was born, and his brother Henry was a few years older than him. When Leo was a child, he excelled in oration, chess, singing, art, Boy Scouts and chemistry. He loved to play football, basketball and baseball. Later in life, he became interested in tennis, skiing, music and fishing.

He first attended Haverford College in Pennsylvania but then left the school to pursue an advanced degree in chemistry from New York University after being inspired by a conversation with a medical school professor at the college. Dvorken was 27 when he decided to go to medical school, but many of the New York area colleges thought he was too old, so he applied to and was accepted to a prestigious school in Geneva, Switzerland.

He first had to take courses in French since all the classes were in that language.

Before he traveled to Switzerland, he met his wife, Doris, a Columbia University undergraduate. The two, who recently celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary,

met at a party in the Bronx, according to his wife’s eulogy. The first time she met him his wife said she knew she would marry him.

“From the minute I met him and talked to him, I felt like I didn’t need to ever talk to another person again,” his wife wrote.

“It was like we were in a room alone, even though we were surrounded by others.”

After studying in Switzerland, Dvorken spent his residency in a Jewish hospital in Brooklyn. In 1969 he moved out to Setauket and opened the pediatric group in Selden. His friends that he met during his residency, Dr. Arie Aloni and Dr. Boris Lustik, soon joined the practice and bought homes in Setauket, too.

“It was the best decision of my life,” Lustik said.

Aloni and Lustik, who Doris Dvorken are both retired from the practice, in phone interviews described Dvorken as a wonderful person and physician, and the doctors formed a strong bond.

“Our practice was unique in a sense that not only were we colleagues, but we were also friends who became an extended family,” Aloni said. “So much so that my kids call him Uncle Leo.” Lustik described Dvorken as an astute physician who was gentle with his patients, while Aloni said the doctor didn’t have a

—

bad bone in his body.

“He was the glue of our practice,” Aloni said.

When other practices refused to take patients on Medicaid, Aloni said Dvorken ensured the practice was open to everyone whether they could afford medical care or not. When a 7-year-old asked him for an interview once, Dvorken answered his questions and showed him around the office. The doctor became a mentor to the boy who later went on to become a pediatric oncologist, according to Aloni.

Lustik remembered Dvorken’s love of music and going to see the New York Philharmonic with him, while Aloni and the doctor would play tennis a few times a week at the Three Village Tennis Club until they retired.

Tennis continued to be a passion in Dvorken’s life. Aloni said the two would talk on the phone during big tennis tournaments discussing strategies and critiquing the players. On Dvorken’s last day, they were on the phone chatting about Wimbledon, he said.

In a eulogy written by Dvorken’s grandson Fran Rosenberg, he summed up the gifts his grandfather left with him and others.

“My grandfather taught me through example how to be a man who produces, loves and serves his family, serves the community, follows his heart, lives his passions and respects everybody — no matter where they come from,” Rosenberg said.

Dvorken is survived by his wife Doris; son Gregory; daughter Rachel; son-in-law Harry Rosenberg; and four grandchildren, Fran, Zach, Katrina and Jakob Rosenberg.

SPARTAN MOTORS

Stony Brook Fire District to vote on new pumpers

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Voters in the Stony Brook Fire District will have a chance to say “yes” to the future.

A special election will take place Aug. 7 in the fire district on a proposition to give the board of fire commissioners authorization to purchase two Spartan pumper trucks with a capacity for 1,250 gallons per minute and related equipment for a cost not exceeding $1.4 million.

Fire district commissioner Brian McAllister said the new pumpers, manufactured by Spartan Motors, will replace two 1994 models currently in use by the district. He said pumpers are emergency vehicles that carry the water tank, firefighting tools and hoses. The volunteers need the trucks for any water work during a fire, while ladder trucks are utilized during rescue efforts such as roof cutting or breaking down doors.

McAllister said typically after 25 years emergency vehicles are pulled out of service. Emergency vehicles experience more wear and tear than the average car, especially on the brakes, according to the fire commissioner.

“It’s not normal driving,” he said. “It’s always emergency response, so that puts excess wear on the vehicles. And the vehicles themselves are already 30- or 40,0000 pounds.”

McAllister said there has been a lot of advances in tech— Brian McAllister nology and firefighting standards since the 1994 trucks were made, including with data and digital control centers. He said the pump that operates the water is more advanced and the tanks are made of a more flexible material than in the past, which allows for more storage space in the vehicle. Another advantage is that the new pumpers will require less maintenance than older models and therefore will be on the road more, since vehicles needing maintenance are often taken out of service temporarily while being repaired.

Before putting the proposition up for vote, he said the fire district put together a committee that looked at pumpers from various manufacturers and decided what the firehouses needed. The committee sat with a spec writer, visited neighboring departments to inspect their trucks and searched for manufacturers who could meet their requirements. A public informational meeting was held July 17 to allow residents the opportunity to ask any questions.

McAllister said the process took approximately two years, and if the district gets the go-ahead to buy the pumpers, it will be more than a year before the trucks arrive.

“It’s not a fast process but done correctly, spec’d correctly and paying attention to detail, we can try to generate or create a vehicle, in partnership with the manufacturer, for one that will be maintenance-free or at least low maintenance and that will also suit our needs,” McAllister said.

Voters in the Stony Brook Fire District, who were registered with the Suffolk County Board of Elections on or before July 15, can vote in the special election, Tuesday, Aug. 7, between 2 to 9 p.m.

Polls are located at 147 Main St., Stony Brook, for those north of the railroad tracks and at 1402 Stony Brook Road for voters residing south of the railroad tracks.

The Stony Brook Fire District seeks to purchase two Spartan pumpers like the one above.

“Our results offer hope and optimism to the many women who feel emotionally responsible or blame themselves for poor outcomes of infertility treatment,” Lobel said.

SCHOOL NEWS Ward Melville High School

OBITUARY SETAUKET FIRE DEPARTMENT

Based on her extraordinary talents, Ward Melville High School student Maya Peña-Lobel was selected to participate in the New England Young Writers’ Conference, a selective program for aspiring writers held at the Bread Loaf campus of Middlebury College in the Green Mountains of Vermont this past spring.

The New England Young Writers’ Conference is an annual, four-day writing-focused workshop for high school students from around the country. The days are filled with writing seminars, workshops, readings and opportunities to meet other young writers.

During the conference, Peña-Lobel was part of a small workshop group where she was instructed by a published author and worked on her fiction piece, along with her peers. She also attended poetry craft classes and went to daily readings and performances, as well as many other fun activities.

To attend, a student must first be nominated by a teacher and their school. PeñaLobel was nominated by Elizabeth Kelso (her teacher from a 10th-grade elective course in Writing Fiction & Poetry) and

by Alan Baum, WMHS principal. Second, the student must submit a writing sample. Peña-Lobel submitted her poem “The Human Experience” an original, 44-line, rhyming piece inspired by Maya Angelou’s poem “Human Family.” After being selected she submitted a short story written in the style of magical realism entitled “Invisible Life.”

John D. Evans, a Setauket Fire Department member since 1953 when he was 18 years old, died July 28.

John was an ex-chief of the fire department, serving as chief of the department from 1964 thru 1965. He was assistant chief for six years prior to leading the department, and he also held all three line officer positions prior to becoming a chief.

After serving for 61 years, 11 months and four days, he became a LIFE member, which is a retirement status permitting certain privileges in the fire department.

Services were entrusted to Bryant Funeral Home in East Setauket. A service was held 10:30 a.m. Aug. 2 at the funeral home and interment followed at St. James R.C. Cemetery.

Infertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization, are stressful experiences for women that can take large emotional tolls, especially when the treatment fails. A new study reveals evidence that women’s emotional state does not have a strong connection with the success of infertility treatment.

Co-authored by Setauket resident Marci Lobel, professor of psychology at Stony Brook University, and Jennifer Nicoloro SantaBarbara and colleagues at Stony Brook University, the study results are published in Social Science and Medicine.

The researchers analyzed more than 20 published studies involving more than 4,000 women to investigate whether women’s emotional distress impedes the success of infertility treatments. The results of the analysis indicated that women’s distress, including anxiety and depressive symptoms, is not associated with poor treatment outcomes.

These findings held true for women regardless of their age, how long they were infertile and whether or not they had been treated for infertility previously.

Admission to NEYWC is based on the quality of writing in the submission, evaluated by a panel of judges that includes professional writers.

“The conference was an amazing experience,” Peña-Lobel said. “I was exposed to so many different types of creative writing, and I worked closely with professional writers. The conference also had some fun, non-writingrelated activities including a morning hike in the Green Mountains, theatrical improv and a performance by some of the Middlebury College a cappella groups. I left the conference inspired and motivated to write more.”

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

Keeping print media alive More than a week after the New York Daily News slashed half of its editorial staff, including writers and photographers, the news still stings.

Many of the journalists at TBR News Media aren’t residents of the areas we cover, but we feel like honorary members of the communities. We can imagine how heartbreaking it must be for the former staff members of the Daily News to be ripped from the neighborhoods that probably once felt like home to them.

But there is a bigger issue. Both daily and weekly newspapers face the same battle every day — how to keep serving the public effectively while staying afloat financially. Once upon a time, print media only had to worry about radio and television news shows when it came to competition, but newspapers usually had the edge because they were portable. There was a time when it wasn’t unusual to see someone walking out of a stationery store or deli with a newspaper tucked under their arm.

However, in a time of infinite niche websites and social media, finding ways to stay current and viable is a daunting task. Most people have some type of portable device where they can quickly pull up a news site or see what articles their friends are sharing on social media. It also doesn’t help when many feel that if a media outlet doesn’t agree with their views, then it must be “fake news.” To compound the issue, the president of the United States has refused to take questions from journalists representing certain media outlets. Most recently at an international press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May in England, Trump said he wouldn’t take questions from CNN’s Jim Acosta and NBC’s Kristen Welker.

Despite the problems print media and even the media in general are facing, there are solutions — even though we feel a bit uncomfortable with the suggestion of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) for an unspecified bailout of the Daily News. A news outlet receiving money from an entity the writers report on may lead to problems in the future.

Which leads to the only people who can save print media: the readers, both current and potential.

There are the obvious things people can do to save the industry such as buying newspapers and frequenting the businesses who advertise in them. And readers can educate themselves. There may be “fake news” out there, but pieces of false information can be weeded out.

It is incumbent upon and a requirement of citizenry to know the difference between information intentionally manufactured to mislead and factual information presented from a viewpoint different from one’s own. If journalism were as simple as making up sources and quotes to fit a desired narrative, we’d like our time back spent late at night at civic association and school board meetings, for example, and all of the other hard work that goes into informing the public. It is offensive and dangerous to lump this in with deliberately false drivel circulating on say, Facebook and Twitter.

Most of all, readers can remember they are part of a newspapers’ family, especially when it comes to TBR News Media’s publications. If you have something you want to see in our pages or have a news tip, our phone lines are always open.

A paper is only as good as its sources and, most of all, the readers it serves.

Letters … We welcome your letters. They should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste.

We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation. Email letters to rita@tbrnewsmedia.com or mail them to The Village Times Herald, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733.

Conservatives understood too well Mr. George Altemose in The Village Times Herald July 5 edition letter, “Conservatives misunderstood,” presents standard Trump-Fox & Friends talking points to defend Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ new sadistic zero-tolerance policy on aliens attempting to enter the United States. Altemose uses his routine condescending, sarcastic style, praising the North Country Peace Group for civilized behavior in the June 30 protest, unlike others.

What others? The massive nationwide protests were overwhelmingly peaceful, as Altemose well knows. He then accuses the group, and all liberals, of a lack of sympathy for victims of crimes by undocumented aliens. In fact, the crime rate among such aliens is lower than among the general population. President Trump cherry-picks such cases, parading grieving families at his rallies, not out of empathy, but to enrage his

base with the lie that most such aliens are murderers, rapists and vermin infesting the U.S. Altemose claims that Sessions is simply obeying the law, and that children are routinely taken into care when their parents are incarcerated — that even President Obama did it. But Sessions is the one breaking the law. In 1968 the U.S. signed, and Congress ratified, the 1967 U.N. Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees — and asylum seekers — making it the supreme law of the land (U.S. Constitution Article VI). An asylum seeker is a person with a “well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion” who may not be treated as a criminal while his claim is adjudicated by due process of law — and there is no doubt the situation in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala is terrifying. There

are many other rules (see articles 31-33) protecting asylum seekers.

This is the policy followed from 1968 until this April: such aliens were released, with their families intact, while waiting (“catch and release,” in Trump’s dehumanizing mischaracterization).

In defiance of the law, Sessions’ zero tolerance criminalizes all aliens at the Mexican border, to justify incarceration and seizure of children. The policy is administered to maximize trauma — as White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly said, to deter others — and to maximize confusion and terror.

As for the Time magazine cover, of course no one thinks Trump posed for it. The crying little refugee girl is a symbol for the sequestered infants and toddlers the government won’t let us see.

No, Mr. Altemose, we understand Trumpists all too well.

Zeldin only cares about allies In response to the letter titled “Proud to be on Zeldin enemies list” in The Village Times Herald July 12 edition, I would like to commend Ms. Gordon for the amazing poise she displayed in light of the treatment she received via the Zeldin goons. The unbecoming conduct that was exhibited at this pathetic campaign event is a tribute to what this most absurd congressman stands for. Lee Zeldin is nothing more than a “Chump” puppet who lacks the ability to contribute one original viewpoint that would in any way improve the lives of the constituents that he is supposed to represent. Zeldin is only concerned with his own upward mobility, echoing every viewpoint that this administration utters and clamoring for a pat on the head by

his hero in the White House.

This latest stunt at Smithtown Elks Lodge is proof positive that Zeldin only cares to hear the voices of those that stroke the president’s fragile ego and stand in agreement with his thoughtless policies. His frequent stints on Fox News are direct manifestations of his never-ending desire to simply be seen spouting Trumpisms in a most public forum. He ignores calls from those he deems unworthy, makes appearances at hand-picked establishments where he knows his minions will show up for photo ops and has consistently refused to hold a bipartisan town hall as a representative of the people should do.

Zeldin seems to forget that he is not simply a representative

for the right-wingers who pant over the president’s every word, but works instead for everyone in Congressional District 1. Threatening to arrest members of the press and other individuals who went through all of the proper channels to attend a campaign event for a public official is simply a bullying act of cowardice that comes as no surprise to those who demand excellence and equal commitment from those who represent us in the U.S. Congress. This behavior is nothing short of disgusting and a complete contradiction of the decorum expected of a federal officeholder. It will be my pleasure to repeal and replace Lee Zeldin come November 2018.

President’s actions sickening President Donald Trump’s recent inhuman act of forcing the separation of children from their parents among certain potential immigrants has been sickening.

Such an action, besides infuriating most of us, has also alienated many people in nations around the world.

Furthermore, his statement that Democratic presidents — Obama and Clinton — stressed this child/parent separation is a total exaggeration. Twisted accusations of that kind, as well as lying depictions and disgusting

policies, are typical of Trump, who endlessly and severely alters the truth and thereby tarnishes the image of our beloved country.

In recent months, his miserable comments aimed at certain foreign leaders have begun to turn heaven knows how many nations against us. Furthermore, his close relationship to Vladimir Putin is nothing short of disgusting, for that man is unworthy of admiration or praise from normal people.

As for Trump’s obvious antipathy towards immigration, let me

say something similar to what I have said earlier in these pages: We Americans are either immigrants or the descendants of immigrants — Trump included. Even the ancestors of Native Americans came here from Asia eons ago.

Let us pray for those children and their parents who have been forcefully and cruelly separated from one another by this wholly insensitive, selfish, inept, truthtwisting president.

OPINION

Unconventional back-to-school stickers

P

encils, notebooks, batteries, calculators, binders, blah, blah, blah. The back-to-school shopping list, after more than a dozen years, becomes tedious. Or, maybe, it’s just that teenagers turn shopping for anything into a toxic brew of frustration, impatience, and we-knowbetter-but-westill-want-you-toget-involved-too experiences.

This year, in addition to all those standard school supplies, I’d like to shop for a collection of unconventional stickers or messages to put the breakfast

By Daniel Dunaief on table — assuming the kids have breakfast — or in the bathroom, that they can read each day.

How about: “No, she doesn’t hate you.” Your teacher may have had a bad day and she may have a difference of opinion with you, but the chance that she hates

D. None of the above

you isn’t all that high.

“There is no such thing as ‘fake homework.’” It’d be nice not to have to do some subjects, but falling behind creates more work tomorrow, when you’ll be even more exhausted.

“Turn off your phone.” Yes, you might need the phone for homework, but you spend way too much time pretending to do homework on it while you’re killing virtual people or sending pictures of yourself to the world.

“Take a shower.” You smell, you’ll get away from your homework or job for a few minutes and you’ll make everyone else’s lives better after you no longer smell like a locker room.

“Smile, even if you don’t feel like it.”

It’s amazing how much better you and everyone else will feel if and when you stop scowling.

“Don’t write in all CAPS!” It’s annoying and it makes you look like you want to shout.

“Yes, I’m sure he’s your brother.”

We brought both of you home from the hospital and we intend to keep both of you.

“Neatness counts.” This is true at home and at school.

“Don’t waste too much time today.”

Yeah, we all know that we won’t be efficient all the time. How about if we strive for less inefficiency today?

“Say something nice.” That is, to someone other than your best friend(s).

“Assume Santa Claus is watching you today.” Kids get presents regardless of whether they’ve been naughty or nice, which leads them to believe the song about Santa watching all the time is wrong. They may, however, suspect that he could focus on a few times or days. Today could be one of those days “No, everyone is not an idiot.” Not even you.

“Laugh with someone more than at someone.”

“Clean up this crap.” You made a mess and you can clean it up, even if it’s more fun to watch a parent do it.

“Even if no one else knows, you’ll know.” Isn’t that enough?

“Everything might not matter, but something should.”

“Close the door and scream.” Shouting can release tension.

“Make more mistakes today.” Your errors present opportunities to learn.

“If you feel like you’re falling asleep when you shouldn’t, ask a question.”

And no, it shouldn’t be, “Will this be

on the test?”

“Your ideas are fine. Your breath could use improvement.”

“Yes, we have to have winter again.”

“Are you sure you want to cross that line again today?”

“Do you really believe your own argument?”

“Are you sharing more with strangers than family?”

“Try to say ‘please’ out loud as often as you send an instant message.”

“Yes, that clock is accurate, so move along.”

“Just because it’s on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true or false. It could be both.”

“Help someone other than yourself today.”

Maybe a few of these stickers will make a teenager’s world and those of us who live around it into something that smells better, is neater and contains a few extra social graces. Then again, perhaps aiming lower, a sticker could suggest: “Try not to roll your eyes when you read this.”

Can the watched and the watchers coexist?

I

t’s no secret that newspapers, large and small, are financially hurting.

We know the reasons as well. The internet makes shopping possible from our bedrooms and sometimes at a cheaper price than a downtown store.

We can send birthday gifts to our grandchildren and friends while we are still in our pajamas and slippers, and the items will arrive nicely wrapped and on time.

This in turn makes retailing difficult, from box stores and

By Leah S. Dunaief malls to neighborhood shops.

So many of the large (like Toys “R” Us, Genovese Drug Stores) and the smaller (like Swezey’s) and mom-and-pop stores have given up. While the larger stores advertised in the dailies, these smaller

Between you and me

businesses reached their customers in the immediate vicinity through the local papers, and they were the backbone of the hometown newspapers’ financial model. Fewer such businesses are left, and some of those place their ads only on the internet. The nature of shopping and of advertising has been profoundly disrupted.

So we have a publication like the New York Daily News, once the paper with the highest circulation in America, cutting half their editorial department in order to survive. And we have any number of community newspapers closing their doors and leaving their hometowns without an effective voice to protect them. Failure to adequately monetize their own investments in the internet by struggling papers has been part of the problem.

The difference between larger dailies and smaller weeklies is more than size. When a daily cuts back or gives up, there are other news sources that can fill the gap for national and international news. But when the community papers and websites disappear, the local issues that arise at school board

or town board or civic or chamber of commerce meetings, or on a particular block with high crime or tainted water or garbage dumping or illegal development, those are not necessarily picked up by the remaining bigger news outlets. The stop signs and potholes are local matters, and for the most part they need local coverage.

That recognition is the reason that the State of New Jersey has now put up millions of dollars in its budget to help pay for community journalism. Say what? How can that be? After all, news media are supposed to be the watchdogs of the people against those who would take advantage, especially those corrupt officials in government. So how can government subsidize media and the residents still expect the media to independently investigate government?

Since the earliest days and the first leaders of our republic, people have known that a democracy cannot exist without independent news sources.

That is why the First Amendment — the first before all others — protects freedom of the press. It is the only industry enshrined in our Constitution. And for

those local legislators and executives and judges, the local newspapers are the ones who disseminate the news of what our officials are doing to help us.

So it is not so odd that local officials want to come to our aid. They need us just as we need to watch over them.

Can this relationship exist in an independent, nonpartisan fashion?

I think it can if there is a neutral party between us. Public television, like my favorite PBS “NewsHour,” and radio stations get funding (not a lot) from the government. “It’s not about saving journalism in New Jersey,” Mike Rispoli, director of an advocacy group on behalf of local media, said in The New York Times. “It’s about making sure our communities are engaged and informed.”

So if funds are awarded to media by boards made up of representatives from the communities, like state universities, community organizations and technology groups as well as government officials, the goal of independent journalism can be met. There is a fine line here not to be crossed.
