Smithtown and Kings Park get county, state aid for projects By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com As a result of recent state and county funding, community leaders and advocates will finally see the culmination of their hard work in planning a revitalization of downtown Kings Park and downtown Smithtown. It was all smiles at the Kings Park Long Island Railroad Station last week as Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) announced construction of a $20 million sewer system long sought after in the hamlet’s downtown is now able to move forward as a result of recent allocations from N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and Suffolk County. Just days after Cuomo said in his State of the State speech he would invest $40 million to build local sewer systems in Kings Park and Smithtown, the county executive presented Smithtown Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R) with a $200,000 check made out to the Town of Smithtown from Suffolk County to advance the community’s proposed Revitalizing Kings Park Downtown action plan, as well as a finalized draft plan developed by Vecchio and his planning team. Bellone joked, of course, that the governor “had to come in with a slightly bigger check” than the county’s before pointing out the true movers and shakers of the revitalization plans. “Credit doesn’t belong to any politician,” Bellone said at the event. “I’m certainly not taking credit ... the credit belongs to the

community. This does not happen without the community. The fact that several levels of government are coming together and funding efforts to revitalize in Kings Park and Smithtown in the downtowns reflects that the community has led the way with engaged community-based planning.” Regarding the development of a sewer system in downtown Smithtown, Bellone said he’s directed the Suffolk County public works commissioner to begin securing an engineering and design team and have a design made up within the next six to eight weeks. Bellone said the revitalization team of Kings Park accomplished the hard part of coming together and building a consensus around the plan and, in doing “the nittygritty grassroots work,” the governor took notice and it now has the resources necessary to get the job done. “These county and state funds will help [Suffolk County] achieve our number one economic development goal: make our region once again attractive to young people by building vibrant downtowns,” he said. “These are the high knowledge, high skilled individuals we need in our region to create good paying jobs and build a 21st century economy.” Sean Lehman, president of the Kings Park Civic Association, called the hamlet a special place to live and said with the development of its downtown it will be even better. “There’s a reason why Kings Park and Smithtown are two of the most popular areas for people to move to in Suffolk County

Sean Lehman, president of the Kings Park Civic Association, speaks at the event. and that’s because of our assets,” Lehman said. “We have it all here — the people, open space, two state parks, town parks, terrific municipal workers. What we were lagging in was our downtown.” Vecchio, with whom Bellone toured downtown Smithtown last year as the supervisor laid out his broad-based vision for revitalization, told Bellone he was grateful

for all he’s done. “Thank you for those accolades but I have no doubt in my mind that it was your intercession with the governor that brought the $40 million to the Town of Smithtown and Kings Park,” Vecchio said to the county executive. “I know everybody here is thinking at this moment ... when will we get the check?”

A closer look at Gov. Cuomo’s 2017 State of the State By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) briefed residents last week with his plans and proposals for the coming year in his State of the State address. One of the more than 30 proposals focused entirely on the needs of Long Island’s infrastructure, with an investment of $160 million slated for transformative projects, including $120 million for the Long Island Rail Road, and $40 million to build sewers. “These major, transformative investments in Long Island’s core infrastructure invest in the future resiliency and strength of the region,” Cuomo said. “Enhanced LIRR stations will connect further than they ever have before, and these vital water infrastructure projects will support environmental sustainability and bolster economic growth. With these projects, we equip Long Island with the tools and resources to drive commercial activity, create jobs and build a stronger Long Island for generations to come.” Funds for the LIRR would go toward “state-of-the-art” enhancements at certain stations, improving system connectivity and establishing a new stop at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton. According to the governor’s office, the MTA will cover $35 million of the investment. Stops on the North Shore that would receive upgrades include Northport, Stony Brook, Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma. A sum of $80 million will be invested in major enhancements at 16 stations to improve the customer experience — coming in at $5 million each, including new facilities, Wi-Fi, charging stations for electronics, public art, new platform waiting areas, general station renovations and improved signage. The enhancements will be customized to the needs of each station and constructed with minimal disruption. Creating a stop on the LIRR Ronkonkoma Branch to Brookhaven National Laboratory would cost $20 million. David Manning, director of stakeholder relations for BNL, said the station would be a great asset to both the lab and the community. “It’s really important for the future of young scientists and attracting new talent,” he said in a phone interview. “It allows us to expand our programs and would help with easier access to the lab from New York City. We are a user facility with a large employee base, so greater public transportation access to the lab would be very helpful.” Cuomo pledged $40 million to build sewers to support economic growth and environmental sustainability in Smithtown and Kings Park. Both areas are in the process of improving their downtown districts. Smithtown Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R) said the money is greatly needed to help bring positive change. “It’s a great thing,” he said in a phone interview. “I’ve been asking the county for the last three years for sewers in Kings Park and Smithtown.” The $20 million Smithtown Business District Sewer Improvement Area project would install sanitary infrastructure and a $20 million Kings Park wastewater treatment facility would be installed in the 100-acre, 140-lot central business district adjacent to the Kings Park railroad station. Another proposal has been on the na-

Cuomo said he intends to bring free college tuition to New Yorkers with the Excelsior Scholarship, a program that would make college tuition-free for New York’s middle-class families at all SUNY and CUNY two- and four-year colleges. “A college education is not a luxury — it is an absolute necessity for any chance at economic mobility, and with these first-inthe-nation Excelsior Scholarships, we’re providing the opportunity for New Yorkers to succeed, no matter what zip code they come from and without the anchor of student debt weighing them down,” Cuomo said. It’s no secret New Yorkers are struggling with college debt. According to the state comptrollers office, student loan debt more than doubled during the last decade, growing to $82 billion, an increase of 112 percent. The number of student loan borrowers also rose sharply in New York in the last 10 years with an increase of more than 41 percent, to 2.8 million. The program would be available for more than 940,000 middle-class families or individuals that make up to $125,000 annually and who are enrolled in a SUNY or CUNY university. According to the governor’s office, 80 percent of households in the state make $125,000 or less. Based on enrollment projections, the plan will cost approximately $163 million per year once fully phased in. The new initiative would take about three years to kick in, beginning for New Yorkers making no more than $100,000 annually in the fall of 2017, increasing to $110,000 in 2018 and reaching $125,000 in 2019. Funding for the initiative would come from various aid programs. Eligible students would receive federal grants and additional state funds would cover the remaining tuition costs for incoming or existing students who qualify. Cuomo announced the initiative at LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City alongside U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (IVermont), who has been a longtime supporter and advocate for free public college tuition. “If the United States is to succeed in a highly competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world,” he said. “With exploding technology, and with most of the good paying jobs requir-

Cuomo’s 2017 proposal highlights for LI: • Improving multiple North Shore LIRR train stations • Creating new sewer systems • Making college education free for SUNY and CUNY universities • Devoting more resources to combating the opioid and heroin drug problem ing more and more education, we need to make certain that every New Yorker, every Vermonter and every American gets all the education they need regardless of family income.” A third proposal would attempt to tackle heroin and opioid addiction —a growing issue throughout Suffolk County, New York and the country. The proposal aims to eliminate insurance barriers and further expand access to effective treatment, curb overprescribing, and get fentanyl and other synthetic opioids off the streets. “This multipronged plan addresses each component of heroin and opioid addiction — prevention, treatment and recovery — in order to help break this cycle of misery and save lives,” Cuomo said. The governor created a six-point plan, which focuses on eliminating prior authorization requirements to make substance use disorder treatment available to all; adding fentanyl analogs to the controlled substances schedule to subject emerging synthetic drugs to criminal drug penalties; increasing access to lifesaving buprenorphine treatment by recruiting health care providers to become prescribers; establishing 24/7 crisis treatment centers to ensure access to critical support services; requiring emergency department prescribers to consult the Prescription Monitoring Program registry to combat doctor shopping; and creating New York’s first recovery high schools to help young people in recovery finish school. A synthetic opioid more potent than heroin and resistant to the effects of Narcan,

fentanyl encounters more than doubled in the U.S. from 5,343 in 2014 to 13,882 in 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The governor’s office said overdose deaths from synthetic opioids like fentanyl have increased by 135 percent from 2014 to 2015. Cuomo said he intends to subject criminal drug penalties for possession of fentanyl, as well as add it to the state’s controlled substance schedule to help law enforcement curb the growing trend. He also wants to improve resources for kids and young adults struggling with drug abuse and addiction with recovery schools, where students in recovery learn in a substance-free environment to help them stay healthy and on track to graduate. Cuomo said he intends to propose legislation to create recovery high schools in regions of New York where abuse is at critical levels. Boards of Cooperative Educational Services will submit proposals to establish the first schools, one upstate and one downstate, in partnership with local social service agencies. The board will operate the new schools, which are funded by sponsoring school districts. Enrollment will be open to all high school students with a diagnosis of a substance abuse disorder and a commitment to recovery. Some of the governor’s other proposals included various improvements to John F. Kennedy Airport, an enhanced middleclass child care tax credit to make child care more affordable for the middle class, and promoting the use of electric vehicles with more charging stations statewide.

Ward Melville student to attend presidential inauguration By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com On Friday, Jan. 20, about 900,000 people are expected to be gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to witness Donald Trump being sworn in as the nation’s 45th president. Among the crowd of thousands will be selected future leaders from schools across the country, including James Moore, a sophomore at Ward Melville High School, who will represent Long Island in a five-day program surrounding the historic event. The Presidential Inauguration Leadership Summit, held between Jan. 18 and 22, gives students like James the opportunity to take part in a series of workshops, seminar discussions and presentations that coincide with the inauguration, listen to world-renowned speakers — some of this year’s honored guests include General Colin Powell, the youngest-ever Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai via video satellite, renowned filmmaker Spike Lee, former governor of Maryland Martin O’Malley (D) and Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson — and gain a perspective on local, national and global issues facing their generation. James was invited to participate in the exclusive experience as an alumnus of the Junior National Young Leaders Conference, which he was chosen to join by his elementary school teacher when he was entering seventh grade.

SportS Bulls continue to dominate court with total team effort By Desirée KeeGan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com It’s raining “threes.” A total 15 3-pointers swished through the netting on Centereach’s court Jan. 17. The Cougars got off to a hot start from long range thanks to senior Jon Agostino, who hit three of the first four treys in the game, but the Smithtown West boys’ basketball team only allowed Centereach to score one more after that in the Bulls’ 87-52 win. Coming off a big win over Copiague Jan. 10 — a 74-67 overtime victory after Chris Crespo tied the game at the fourth-quarter buzzer — the senior said his team has all the confidence in the world. “It really boosted us as a team and I think we all got closer,” Crespo said. “We definitely bonded over that game. It was the first big test I think we’ve had. We played a few hard games against Half Hollow Hills West [the only loss this season but non-league] and St. Anthony’s, and we respect all those teams, but especially in a league game against Copiague it was a different atmosphere. I really felt good, and I feel we have a lot of confidence running through us for the rest of the season.” That confidence showed against Centereach, as the Bulls — now on an eight-game win streak — built momentum throughout its total team success. Agostino scored all four of his 3-pointers in the first half of the contest. He knocked down his first on the Cougars’ first possession, and added another at the 1:33 mark to tie the game 8-8. Smithtown West seniors Greg Giordano and Kyle LaGuardia scored a free throw and 3-pointer, respectively, to close out the scoring for the first eight minutes, leaving the Bulls up 12-8. “In spite of our slow start in the first quarter, we were able to provide a strong second quarter and basically end the game in the third,” Giordano said. “It always amazes me how resilient we are and how we are able to get so many contributions.” Three Bulls scored in the first, and two others contributed in the team’s 24-point second quarter. “This was really a great game,” Smithtown

West head coach Mike Agostino said. “Defensively, we played consistent, but I thought our ball movement was the difference. You could see when the ball moves, people get open and we knock down shots.” Senior Gordon Shouler and junior Michael Gannon helped extend West’s lead to 36-20 by halftime. Shouler tacked on two of his team-high four 3-pointers in the second, and added the other two in the third. “Copiague is arguably one of the best teams in our league this year, and after getting a win coming from behind, getting out here and playing a good team, we were ready to go,” Shouler said. “We were very confident, and the biggest thing was just not having a letdown. You beat a team like that, you win a good game like that, you want to come out and carry that momentum, and we did that.” Gannon added 11 points in the second, including a basket of his own from beyond the arc, and a pair of free throws. Giordano, who finished with a team-high 17 points, added two assists on Gannon’s scores. “We perform with consistency,” Agostino said of his team. “We know who we are,

We know who we are and we’re going to play our way, and as hard and we’re going to play in a playoff game regardless of our opponent.” The head coach said he was excited to see the team reach its offensive potential, finding the basket more than it has been. On days like that, he said he wishes he could play 11 players at a time, instead of five. “They all practice hard and they all work hard every day,” he said. “It’s good to get guys in. These guys are capable — they’re all capable. And when they get the time they’re going to be able to do big things with it.” This is true for freshman Michael Behrens, who seized his opportunity off the bench in the fourth quarter and scored nine points to help put the game out of reach. Behind Giordano was Shouler with 14 points, and Gannon with 13. Crespo, who finished with eight points, said he’s excited to see his Bulls playing team basketball. “I have no complaints,” he said. “We moved the ball beautifully and we were knocking down shots. Gordon and Greg form the outside and Kyle and myself were finishing around the basket. We’re really, really coming together great and I have high hopes for the rest of the season if we keep this up.” It’s the kind of mentality Agostino said he stresses to his players, about continuing to

focus on executing plays and not letting the other team disrupt how they play. And the boys have bought into it, building on the win total with each season over the last few years. “Coach always says just play your game and the rest will follow, and that’s exactly what we did,” Giordano said. “Our defense kept us in the lead until our offense was able to connect and build a big lead. I couldn’t be more excited about the way our team has progressed throughout the season, and feel like we have a chance to do something really special.”

History

The peaceful transition of power in the United States By Rich AcRitelli “Your success is now our country’s success.” George H.W. Bush (R) who lost a hotly contested election to Bill Clinton (D) in 1992, passed on this message to the incoming president. Bush lost a difficult campaign to Clinton, but wanted a smooth transition of power to the newly elected leader. Both men were opponents who were completely opposite from each other. Bush was a fighter pilot who flew off aircraft carriers in the Pacific during World War II, and Clinton was decisively against the United States involvement during the Vietnam War. Bush was a conservative president and vice president living in Texas who served under Ronald Reagan (R) for eight years, and Clinton was a liberal governor from Arkansas. These one-time executive adversaries are immensely close, and Clinton now regards Bush’s wife, Barbara, as a second mother. Little-known Vice President Harry S. Truman (D) from Missouri gained power after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) April 12, 1945. Right away Truman felt the immense burden of responsibility after learning about the tragic death of Roosevelt. When he asked the late president’s wife, Eleanor, what he could do to help her family, she asked, “Is there anything we can do for you? For you are the one in trouble now.” Truman presided over the end of World War II, the start of the Cold War, a fledgling postwar economy, and a difficult re-election

against New York Gov. Thomas Dewey (R). Although Truman is remembered as an extremely capable president, he had the difficulties of serving after the trusted four-term leadership of Roosevelt and the “General of the Armies” Dwight D. Eisenhower (R). During World War II, Eisenhower was rapidly promoted and given an immense amount of authority by Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Marshall, a highly regarded officer who became the architect of victory against Hitler in Europe. After the war, he approached Marshall about the desire to divorce

his wife and bring back his love interest to the U.S. Marshall took a heavy interest within Eisenhower’s career and he was seen as a second father to the future president. When the disciplinarian-minded Marshall learned that Eisenhower wanted to send for Summersby, he told his subordinate that he would run him “out of the Army” and make it impossible for him ever to “draw a peaceful breath.” Marshall later wrote a scathing report about Eisenhower’s infidelities that was destroyed by Truman before he left office. Although Eisenhower and Truman did not have a warm relationship, Eisenhower stressed to Truman he could not believe how relentless the media was about his relationship with Summersby. Truman bluntly responded that if these were the only attacks against him by reporters, Eisenhower was immensely fortunate. Before he left office, Truman told the new leader he did not shred Marshall’s letter about Summersby to personally protect Eisenhower. His outgoing priority was to preserve the honor of the executive branch and its new leader, President-elect Eisenhower. Currently, some of the cabinet nominations of President-elect Donald Trump (R) are facing scrutiny by Congress. Many previous presidents have endured political obstacles during this process. Clinton found it a chore to fulfill the attorney general position, as the first two candidates withdrew from being considered. George H.W. Bush watched as

John Tower, his pick for secretary of defense in 1989 was not approved for the job. It was the first time in 30 years the Senate refused to confirm a presidential cabinet appointment. In 1980, Reagan faced scrutiny over Jackie Presser, who was believed to have ties to organized crime. Presser was a labor adviser to Reagan’s transitional team, and the Democrats were outraged by possible connections of corruption. The choice of Jimmy Carter (D) for the Central Intelligence Agency, Theodore Sorensen, withdrew his own name in 1977 due to the onslaught of resentment waged against the former World War II conscientious objector. Many members of the intelligence and military communities were concerned that he was too much of an outsider who wanted to reform the CIA’s overall mission of gathering vital information during the height of the Cold War. Historically speaking, the time between the election and inauguration, a period of uncertainty, has impacted every leader since the days of George Washington. These triumphs and failures are realistic issues that must be accepted by our leaders before they enter the Oval Office. This will be no different for Trump when he is sworn in Friday. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

MLK celebration energizes a new push for social justice

above, Vanessa Upegui and alex Seel pause to display their art project; top right, young girls smile during the event. By Donna newman donna@tbrnewspapers.com In today’s world, the loudest voices often preach a message of divisiveness and look to create an environment that excludes rather than accepts. This message runs contrary to the one preached by Martin Luther King Jr. and [his] vision for a just and peaceful future. The invitation extended to community members was made in those words for an event titled We Thirst for Justice at the Bates House in Setauket Jan. 16 — the designated commemoration of the birth of the civil rights leader. The event was organized by Michael Huffner, co-founder of the Community Growth Center with locations in Smithtown and Port Jefferson Station, in partnership with the All Souls Episcopal Church in Stony Brook. A newly formed service organization, The Spot — a new service group that provides resources, community and mentoring— and artist Alex Seel of the Center for Community Awareness facilitated a collaborative art project for the multifaith gathering. Each person was invited to record his/her vision of justice on a small square of colored paper. Seel, assisted by Vanessa Upegui worked to merge the squares into a colorful mosaic. Huffner said he hoped the celebration would inspire people to work collaboratively for justice. “What seems like a small piece of paper can become a beautiful work of art when combined with others,” he said at the event. “What seems like a small voice becomes a sound capable of changing the world when combined with others … Dr.

King’s message is simple. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. We must be the light; we must be the love that Dr. King spoke about.” The Rev. Farrell Graves, spiritual leader of the All Souls Church, an associate chaplain at Stony Brook University and a founder of The Spot, added his take on the day’s significance. “This is the joyful part of our work,” he said at the event. “We also have some more difficult work — to stand up for the common good. Freedom is for everyone, or it’s for no one. The cost of our freedom is constant vigilance, and by that I mean awareness, and I include in that self-awareness … If we don’t have the courage to look ourselves in the face, then fear and scapegoating take over. We start blaming others for our inadequacies … This is not yet the world that Martin Luther King envisioned. If we want to change the world, we must have the courage to change ourselves.” Seel stressed the importance of the fact that the civil rights movement of the ’60s was a collaborative effort and that such an endeavor is needed again to further the cause of justice in our country in our time. “What we need now is leadership,” he said. “We need leaders who will bring different faith communities together. There needs to be a call to engage in a clear and effective goal.” The event included live music and a diversity of foods. More than 65 people attended and, while the host organizations encouraged mixing and mingling, when approached, most people admitted they were sitting with people they already knew.

Letters to the editor

And the band played on

The threat of fake news has become serious this year.

File photo

Beware of fake news Fake news is one of the many terms gaining relevance in the post2016 presidential election world we live in. During the first press conference of President-elect Donald Trump (R) since July — which took place last week — a news organization and an internet media company’s legitimacy were called into question by Trump, after a story broke regarding an intelligence briefing. He erroneously referred to both as fake news organizations, and the story itself as phony. Fake news has an actual definition — they’re stories with false information aimed at deceiving readers. In fact many reports after the election showed fake news had substantial influence on its consumers. PolitiFact, a fact-checking website, recently published a list of the many fake news stories shared in 2016, usually on social media, including Hillary Clinton running a child-sex ring out of a pizza shop and Pope Francis endorsing Trump for president. These stories were posted, shared and re-shared thousands of times through Facebook and other social media platforms, with many of the readers trusting the validity of the content. We would call the sharers and believers of those stories victims of misinformation. Readers are hurting themselves and others by trusting — and sharing — a story without confirming credibility. National Public Radio published some tips for readers to avoid falling prey to these fake stories, including checking the domain and URL of a site. A website with an ending of “.com.co” should raise eyebrows, no matter how professional the site may look. ABCnews.com is a legitimate news site, but travel to ABCnews.com.co, that has a similar professional look about it, and you’re face-to-face with dozens of fake news stories. A lack of quotes is another red flag according to NPR, and this is something we can confirm as well. As reporters for TBR News Media, we’re expected to include multiple sources in every story we write to get as many angles of an issue as possible. Stories with only one source or none at all are rarely serving a reader’s best interest. In most cases, a simple search can help confirm a story’s accuracy. If a source is quoted saying something incredible, Google away. Transcripts of speeches and addresses on verified sites are out there for a reason. To also check the validity of what you may think is “news,” type in a website link or search keywords on Snopes.com, a webpage that fact checks URLs and page content. News was created to inform the public and meant to be a public service, but no service is without flaws. Be an informed, conscious and curious reader. Understanding the difference between a fake news site and a credible news organization may just be one of the most important skills citizens will need in the coming years. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Suffolk County is broke, yet it just gave the Town of Babylon $1.2 million of borrowed money to fund a building to house the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in Wyandanch. This is the same county that has total debt of over $2 billion and has borrowed an additional $150 million from the sewer fund, $350 million to pay pensions, and wants to borrow another $60 million over the next two years to pay for police retirements. I have nothing against the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, but it is simply ridiculous that taxpayers have to foot the bill for such an endeavor during this fiscal crisis. This deal appears to be far more about politics than responsible governing. The funding was part of several bills passed at the Suffolk County Legislature’s final meeting of 2016, which included “Jumpstart Suffolk” and “Start-Up/ NY” funding for several projects including the Ronkonkoma Hub, Blue Point Brewery project and Mattituck Traffic Study, among others. Also included was $200,000 in funding for planning and design of downtown Kings Park, presumably to garner my support for the bills as a champion of the hamlet’s revitalization efforts or at least buy my silence on the matter. Obviously, my dissenting vote along with this piece demonstrates the county executive’s hush money could not

silence my opposition. Various halls of fame across the nation are struggling mightily and in many cases have been forced to close their doors. Undeterred by this fact and the recent failure of the Suffolk County Sports Hall of Fame, which now exists as some photos on the walls inside the Southwest Airlines terminal at Long Island MacArthur Airport after five mostly in-the-red years in Patchogue, County Executive Bellone and some lawmakers are again gambling taxpayer dollars on such a venture. While the notion of throwing taxpayer dollars at such a risky endeavor is concerning, the siting of the venue in Wyandanch is troubling. This is the latest attempt to breathe life into the grand Wyandanch Rising vision, the transit-oriented, mix-use development project funded by hundreds of millions of dollars in public money designed to transform the Wyandanch community. Somewhat predictably, the endeavor has not gone according to script thus far, prompting the administration to come up with new ways to propup the project. With all currently occupied residential units in the development requiring subsidy and only a fraction of available retail space in the development rented, Suffolk County government (and its taxpayers) is coming to the rescue. First, by funding the hall

With only weeks left in his presidency, Barack Obama crafted and permitted to pass a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel for its settlements in the disputed territories settled by Palestinians. Lest one forget in the Six Day War from June 5, 1967 to June 10, 1967, Israel was attacked by Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Israel was victorious in its defense and captured territories of the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights. To the victors belong the spoils, except for Israel. Since its 1948 War of Independence, Israel has been militarily attacked by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Lebanon, Algeria, Morocco, Cuba and Iranian/ Russian terrorist organizations such as PLO, Hezbollah, Fatah, Hamas and ISIS. Although Israel has never lost any wars, it has consistently given back captured land to obtain peace. However, Israel continues to be attacked by terrorists, condemned in the United

Nations and now abandoned by President Obama. Although the U.S. sends Israel $3.15 billion per year, Obama’s recent United Nations decision undermines Israel’s security and peace efforts. Given all the Middle Eastern anti-U.S. nations, anti-Christian policies, anti-women actions and undemocratic governments, this administration in cahoots with the United Nations chose to single out Israel for selective condemnations. For 2000 years haven’t the Jewish people suffered enough isolation, persecution and discrimination? Why did the Obama administration decide to pile on and throw Israel under the bus? Israel has been our lone longstanding friend and only democracy in the Middle East. The administration’s policy of regime change in Iraq, Libya and Syria has created a vacuum for ISIS and the Russians to fill. Russia has a foothold in the Middle East and China in Africa. Secretary of State John Kerry negotiated a onesided deal with anti-U.S./Israel Iran and added billions to their

Suffolk residents should be concerned, not only with the financial state of this county and the cost of living here, but at the lengths County Executive Bellone will go to in order to pursue a questionable vision and protect what is left of his legacy.

state-sponsored terrorism. Now this same administration wants to destroy Israel’s leverage in direct negotiations with the Palestinians. Obama and Kerry support a Palestinian government that refuses to honor previously negotiated agreements, will not recognize Israel’s right to exist and continues to support indiscriminate bombings of school buses, restaurants and civilian population centers. If the United States was attacked as Israel has been for 80 years, would Obama condemn us for defending our country and its citizens? Israel like any other nation is not perfect; however, considering the conduct of other Middle Eastern states, it doesn’t deserve to be unilaterally condemned by free democratic societies led by the United States. The unsupported by Congress actions by Obama and Kerry continue a foreign policy pattern whereby our enemies don’t fear us and our friends don’t trust us.

OpiniOn Taking a page out of a familiar playbook

’m a coach for a boys’ basketball team. I want to win every game because that’s what America is all about — winning. I want to make my team great again, because we haven’t been as great as we’d like to be and that’s not acceptable. Now, I know there are parents on this team and the other team who find my methods and my approach worrisome. Don’t. I’m going to win and that’ll be great and I have a plan. By Daniel Dunaief No, I’m not going to share it with you and, no, just because you heard some things about me doesn’t mean they’re true. Who’s telling you all those

D. None of the above

things? Do you believe any of them? Well, you shouldn’t, because I don’t. I have plenty of people who are eager to tell you how great I am. There’s a woman with blonde hair who I can put in front of you who will make sure you understand what I mean when I say what I say. Well, I don’t always say anything. I prefer to tweet, particularly about the other team. You see that other coach the other day? I heard someone, and mind you it wasn’t me, suggest that he might not have been born in the United States. Yes, I know he’s still allowed to coach here and, yes, I know there are plenty of incredibly important people who came to the U.S. and contributed greatly to the founding, establishment and greatness of this country. That’s not the point. The point is that I want to win and be great and greatness comes from here, and not from over there. If you can’t tell, I’m pointing to the fertile, rich, wonderful soil beneath

my feet. Well, no, actually, I’m not pointing to the soil. I’m pointing at my expensive shoes. You want greatness? You need nice shoes. Speaking of nice shoes, did you see the shoes that one of the moms wore to the game the other day? Wait, what? I’m not allowed to notice beautiful women and their nice shoes now? That’s not fair. If they wear the shoes, I should be able to notice them. I notice the nice shoes my daughter, Danika, wears and they make her feet look magnificent. I’m so proud of those shoes and those feet. Oh yes, I heard that other coach saying things about me behind my back while I was looking at him and he was speaking to me. How dare he say things that didn’t support me. He should be locked up. If I were on Twitter right now, I’d say he was wrong! I might spell it incorrectly because my mistakes give my opponents, who I trounce like sad little bugs, something to talk about when they’re trying to

get in the way of my greatness. So, here we are at the game. It’s finally starting. The referees look shifty to me. Who wears black and white? Is that some kind of politically correct statement? It didn’t work for Seinfeld when he had that black-and-white cookie episode. He got sick. Remember that? Ah, TV. Isn’t it awesome? Anyway, so we need to win the game and we need to make sure the other team loses. I’m going to win because I know things other people don’t and I’m “marts.” You see? I had a deliberate misspelling there, putting the “s” in the wrong place. Now that the game has ended, I’m disappointed in everyone. The refs? Rigged! The other coach? Ridiculous! The fans? Well, what do the ones who complain know anyway? I know I won, but that’s besides the point. I want the losers to know that they’re losers, even though they can be great someday, too, if they listen to me.

jobs already. He has also secured an examination of the costs for building a new Air Force One. Trump bills himself as a great deal maker. Certainly he has made a number of deals. Maybe the strategy when entering such a negotiation is to disrupt what has preceded the start of such talks. If that is true, he has surely succeeded in the foreign policy arena. Members of NATO are puzzled by his characterization of the post-World War II alliance as “obsolete.” For many believers, it is the foundation for long-awaited peace in Europe, especially between France and Germany. It also is thought to be a buffer between the United States and Russia. Maybe he is just rattling that cage to get members to pay a greater share of the costs of maintaining the alliance. He also questioned the value of the European Union, reserving some uncomplimentary words for German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s immigration policies. She and other European leaders are facing serious challenges from populist parties who are strongly anti-immigration.

If Trump’s goal is to keep Europeans off balance, he seems to have won this round. By indicating that the One China policy was open to negotiation, Trump has unnerved the Chinese leaders to the point of their declaring that “Beijing will have no choice but to take off the gloves.” By warning U.S. automakers of possible 35 percent tariffs on automobiles made in Mexico, he has elicited warnings from our neighboring country. The Russians, however, were not unhappy. “Let’s wait until he assumes office before we give assessment to any initiatives,” said a Russian spokesman. Sounds like good advice to me. This is a most unusual incoming president with a mighty different style. Still, he is not to be underestimated, in the words of President Obama. He is an American and also, perhaps to our advantage, a New Yorker — the first to inhabit the White House since FDR. Let’s give Trump a chance. We can always get excited if necessary and resist.

Hail to the Disrupter in Chief

he mood, to say the least, is unsettled. On the eve of the inauguration of the newly elected president of the United States, his approval rating is at a historic low in modern times. That said, there are two facts we know indisputably about President-elect Donald Trump. One is that he is not a politician. He does not say or do any of the politically correct things an incoming By Leah S. Dunaief president typically says or does. He has engaged in a war of words with respected civil rights leader, John Lewis, to no particular benefit for himself. He has also responded forcefully to Meryl Streep, denigrated the CIA and largely gained the worried attention of

many foreign leaders. He has done all this during the “honeymoon period,” when the incoming president traditionally tries to bind the wounds caused by pre-election campaigning and to unite the country behind him. In short, he has not stopped being himself. But that is, after all, how he got elected. He is not traditional, he does not follow the rules. And that brings me to the second fact about Trump. He is our next president, the 45th to be exact. An outlier is what his supporters wanted, and that is how he is sweeping into the White House. So much for polling and personal approval. And so much for rhetoric. Trump, once in office, will be judged on what he does, and so far he has scored some successes even before he enters 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. As the Disrupter in Chief, he seems to have persuaded some automotive companies to reconsider their plans for building new plants outside the country. And while the exact number is in dispute, he has managed to save some manufacturing
