SCPD: Residents are the key to lowering crime on LI By Victoria Espinoza Victoria@tbrnewspapers.com It may seem like a no-brainer, but according to the Suffolk County Police Department many North Shore residents are forgetting to lock their cars. The department recently launched a new “Lock It or Lose It!” campaign aimed at encouraging residents to lock their parked vehicles. Police Commissioner Tim Sini said the department is looking for the public’s help to bring down this type of petit crime. “Every day, the hard-working men and women of the Suffolk County Police Department are out there in force doing their best to keep crime down,” he said in a statement. “Oftentimes, though, it is the partnership with the public that helps get us the results. The first line of defense is [to] lock your doors. Also, make sure if there are valuables in your car, they are not in plain view.” Although it may seem simple, many Long Islanders are leaving their cars unlocked. A periodic check of Suffolk County police reports will turn up dozens of incidents of items stolen out of unlocked cars parked in driveways, parking lots or other locations. The department has partnered with Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and mul-
tiple television and radio stations to routinely broadcast a 30-second public service announcement during the next month to remind residents to lock their vehicles. “Unlocked vehicles give criminals an additional bonus of stealing sensitive personal documents resulting in identity theft without a victim realizing the fact until it’s too late,” Crime Stoppers President Nick Amarr said in a statement. “The Lock it or Lose It campaign is a way to remind residents how they can help prevent becoming the victim of a crime.” According to the department, most vehicle break-ins are crimes of opportunity, and if a vehicle is locked, a criminal will usually move on. Locking car doors should substantially decrease the likelihood of being victimized. Approximately 312 cars are targeted every month in Suffolk County, according to a statement from the police. On the North Shore, cell phones, wallets, credit cards, cash, GPS, cell phone chargers, laptops and tablets are among the most common items taken when someone breaks into a car. Campaigns just like Suffolk County’s are becoming the norm throughout the country, as police departments in many states try to remind residents they can help reduce crime in their neighborhoods.

North Shore students born after 9/11 learn to feel the pain By Alex Petroski & VictoriA esPinozA Alex@tbrnewspApers.com victoriA@tbrnewspApers.com The world changed Sept. 11, 2001. For those who were alive and old enough to grasp the enormity of the event, what happened that day is very complicated and difficult to comprehend, even 15 years later. For those who weren’t born yet or were too young to remember the events, it’s even more challenging to comprehend. That is the task facing North Shore global and American history teachers welcoming eighth- and ninth-graders into their classrooms for the 2016 school year. Wendy Blair-Braxton, an eighth-grade history teacher at Elwood Middle School, planned several days worth of lessons to help her students get an in-depth understanding of the events that transpired on 9/11. Blair-Braxton started her lesson Sept. 9 by showing her students photos of 9/11, without she tried to show the students how 9/11 was a turning point in the United States. telling students what the photos depicted. Students were asked to write reflections “They had different reactions, some students said terrorism, some didn’t even real- on index cards, as Blair-Braxton played ize we were talking about 9/11,” she said songs like “My City of Ruins” by Bruce Springsteen, a popular ballad that took on in a phone interview. Blair-Braxton said after the students re- new meaning after 9/11 and helped raised alized what the subject was, she showed funds for first responders. After the lesson, students wrote down videos about 9/11, to help put the students their thoughts on reflection cards. in the shoes of those at Ground Zero. “I feel like I shouldn’t be that affected “I tried to teach the emotional aspects of 9/11,” she said. “It really did hit home by what happened on 9/11, since I had for a lot of the students. I also explained no personal connection to anything that happened,” one student to the kids, once you wrote. “Then why do I live through this type ‘We had a child who was feel like it does affect me? of history, all the emoIt’s probably because of tions come back every actually questioning if a mixture of shock and time you revisit it.

So a lot of them really don’t have any clue. They’ve heard of it, but a lot of them didn’t even really know what terrorism is, or they just don’t understand it.” She said some students didn’t realize how many planes were hijacked that day, and weren’t aware of the attack on the Pentagon and the plane crash in Pennsylvania. Alemaghides’ new lesson plan required students to choose an artifact that might have been found in the rubble, which they then replicated and explained in a personal reflection. She said she wanted students to understand how the nation changed after the deadly attacks, and what was done to make America safe. “You don’t want everyone thinking every time you go into a building you have to worry about that happening,” she said. Port Jefferson high school global history teacher Jesse Rosen, who teaches ninth grade, said in a phone interview that his goal in teaching about 9/11 hasn’t changed much over the years. He prefers to approach the subject from a humanistic point of view, with minimal discussion of the global implications. “I feel like it’s still so close and people still know someone who was affected that the humanistic aspect of it is where I want to stick,” he said in a phone interview. Rosen teaches the lesson around a story
originally revealed in an ESPN piece for the show “Outside the Lines” about “the man in the red bandana.” The piece tells the story of Welles Crowther, a former lacrosse player at Boston College, who carried a red bandana with him everywhere he went. Crowther died in the attacks, and his family later learned of his heroism on that day when they heard stories about a man with a red bandana helping to save people trapped in the building. “I feel strongly that positive can come out of negative,” he said. Rosen shared student responses following the lesson. “Everything we have learned about Welles shares a common theme: he was a hero,” ninth-grader Katelynn Righi wrote. “For someone to risk their life to help other people shows a lot about that person. It shows their courage, bravery and that they will do anything to make sure others are alright. He decided to be a hero because that’s who he was.”

li election insights Polls give Clinton the edge in 2016, but the race is not over By Helmut NorpotH
©151563
Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer and, in presidential election years, the traditional beginning of the general election campaign. At this juncture Nate Silver’s popular website, FiveThirtyEight, has all but anointed Democrat Hillary Clinton as the inevitable winner over Republican Donald Trump in November. The 538 forecast based on an aggregation of polls gives Clinton a 70 percent chance, give or take a point, to defeat Trump. It is a victory not only in the popular vote but also in the Electoral College. The polling averages produced by RealClearPolitics and The Huffington Post agree. They all have shown a Clinton lead for months, punctured only briefly when Trump clinched the GOP nomination in primaries or won it at the Republican National Convention. Polls are shining a bright light on Clinton’s prospects while casting a dark shadow on Trump’s. So it seems. How serious should we take these poll-driven forecasts? By now we have lived with scientific polls in American presidential elections for 80 years. It started in 1936, when George Gallup conducted the first poll of a representative sample of American voters. For the record, he got it right that year. Few readers may be old enough to remember. Franklin Roosevelt

Hillary Clinton’s lead in the polls at this point in the election cycle hardly guarantees victory. was running in 1936 against ... quick, who was the Republican opponent? OK, it was Alf Landon of Kansas. FDR led him in every poll conducted by Gallup and won in one of the biggest landslides — a great start. Gallup would not always be so lucky. In 1948,
his polling consistently showed Republican Tom Dewey defeating Democrat Harry Truman, the incumbent president, who wound up with the victory on Election Day. Back to Labor Day. At this point during the 2008 election cycle, Republican John
McCain was ahead of Democrat Barack Obama 49 percent to 44 percent in the Gallup poll. Many probably don’t remember it. McCain’s lead was famously trumpeted as a “game change,” triggered by his choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate. The strong showing of the GOP ticket in the polls raised the hopes of the McCain camp for a victory in the November, while unnerving the Obama camp. Then the economy took a sudden nosedive as Lehman Brothers collapsed and Wall Street crashed. As the candidate of the White House party, on whose watch this calamity occurred, McCain saw his fortunes tank in the polls. It also did not help that Palin, his vice-presidential candidate, came across as clueless and tongue-tied on television in interviews with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. So, real-life events unfavorable to the White House party and missteps in the election campaign combined to reverse a lead in the polls that one side, McCain in this case, enjoyed at the beginning of the general election campaign. Lesson: Beware of pollsters bearing election forecasts eight weeks before Election Day. Helmut Norpoth is a political science professor at Stony Brook University and has designed models to forecast elections in the U.S. and abroad. He will be contributing ongoing election analysis ahead of the 2016 election.

15 years later: Remembering 9/11 Out of tragedy came unity and togetherness By Rich AcRitelli It was fifteen years ago this week, Sept. 11, 2001, that Americans were putting their children on school buses and going about their daily routines when our nation was attacked. Terrorists boarded and later commandeered passenger planes that were fully loaded with fuel and flew them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the fields of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The terrorists that took over Flight 93 originally planned to strike the Capital building or the White House, but cries of “Let’s roll” rang out, and the passengers fought back against the perpetrators. While Mike Piazza of the New York Mets was an exceptional baseball player, he also served as a leader for his team and the community, and even helped with a humanitarian drive that was based out of Shea Stadium to aid the recovery workers. He spoke about that day during his Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech in July. “Sept. 11, 2001 is a day that forever changed our lives. To witness the darkest evil of the human heart and how it tore many loved ones from their families will forever be burned in my soul,” the transplanted New Yorker, who was born in Philadelphia, said. “But from tragedy and sorrow came bravery, love, compassion, character and, eventually, healing. Many of you give me praise for the two-run home run on the first game back on Sept. 21 to push us ahead of the rival Braves. But the true praise belongs to police, firefighters, first responders, who knew they were going to die, but went forward anyway.” The New York Yankees, who were in pursuit of another World Series title, visited firehouses, and players had tears in their eyes moments before they played in games. Today, Americans are watching a hotly contested election. It was fifteen years ago that many citizens put aside their political beliefs to be unified against a common enemy. Rescue crews traveled from all over the nation to head toward the remains of the World Trade Center, yellow ribbons were tied on trees across the United States and the undeniable will of our people was quickly demonstrated to the world. While it seems like yesterday that we watched these horrific events occur, there are current high school students that may have

lost a parent that day. It is these boys and girls who were so young that they do not easily recollect their loved ones that were amongst the almost three thousand Americans killed tragically. This is not just another historic day to briefly remember — it is still with our citizens on a daily basis. Our children have lived under the heightened security at our airports, infrastructure centers like Pennsylvania Station and the George Washington Bridge, and during major sporting events. During every home game since 9/11, the New York Yankees invite veterans and rescue workers to be honored, as both teams line up to listen to “God Bless America.” Our North Shore communities were a considerable distance from the destruction of the World Trade Center towers. But unflinchingly, local rescue and support workers from these towns traveled every day and spent hours away from their families to be at ground zero. May we never forget the sacrifices of members of these numerous agencies that are currently suffering from 9/11-related illnesses. It should also be remembered that while our North Shore towns are miles from the city, these communities and schools lost residents and graduates as a result of these acts of terrorism. Thank you to all our rescue workers and military branches that continue to protect the security and values of the United States, at home and abroad.

East Bulls shut out West Islip after falling to Centereach in OT By Bill landon After 80 minutes of regulation, it was the overtime period that decided the League III game on Sept. 10 between the Cougars and visiting Smithtown East. Both teams were hungry for the first win of the season, but it was Centereach who prevailed, scoring nine minutes into the first overtime period to win the game, 2-1.
Centereach, accustomed to playing on grass, scored first when senior co-captain Ryan Lauer, a midfielder, dished the ball to sophomore midfielder Matt Gorski, who drove his shot to the right corner of the net for the lead with 3:56 remaining in the first half. “We played well today, and I was pleased with our performance,” Gorski said. “I didn’t expect that it would go to overtime, but it was a good battle and I’m glad we came out with the victory.” Fresh off a loss from crosstown rival Smithtown West, the Bulls looked to even their record when Luke Eschbach answered the call. The senior forward drilled one past the goalkeeper off a feed from junior defenseman Matthew Selman, to make it a new game eight minutes into the second half. The Bulls, more comfortable on turf, showed no difficulty on grass as both teams moved the ball up and down the field with ease, but with few shots on goal. As time expired in regulation play, both teams prepared for a new game in the first 10-minute overtime period. Smithtown East head coach Mike Menendez said he expected to have his hands full with today’s game. “Centereach is always a tough team,” Menendez said. “Their boys play hard, they play well on their field and they were the team that came out on top. They were able to get the win, so hats off to them.” Centereach senior midfielder Elmer Alfaro charged up the left sideline, out-dribbling his opponents, when he spotted teammate Ivis
Trejo, who managed to find an open space in front of the cage. The co-captain dished the ball off to Trejo, and the junior midfielder blasted his shot passed the keeper to win the game. “Smithtown’s a tough team — we came out a little flat, but we played better in the second half,” Trejo said. “We had good possession today and we had good defense.” Centereach head coach Jon Galfano said he was impressed with Alfaro’s play, especially leading up to the game-winning goal. “Elmer Alfaro — just that run down the sideline at the end and then for him to have the wherewithal to pass it to a wide open Ivis [Trejo] was just beautiful to watch,” he said. “Elmer is one of those kids that I can put him anywhere on the field and he just knows what to do. Nobody works harder and he’s just a great kid.” The head coach said he saw a much-improved team from the one that lost to West Islip, 2-1, two days prior. “I felt that we lacked effort … in that first game of the season, but today we bounced back — these kids fought and fought hard and never gave up,” Galfano said. “As a coach, that’s all you can ask for. I’m very proud of them.” Smithtown East may have lost, but the Bulls bounced back with a 2-0 shutout over West Islip on Sept. 13 for their first league win. Junior midfielder Vincent DiStasi took a through ball from junior forward Joe Hergott and scored from about 10 yards out to give Smithtown East the 2-0 advantage with 18:15 remaining in the game. Eschbach scored the first goal for his team again, but in this game,
it was unassisted. The Bulls improve their conference record at 1-2 with the win, and are to 2-3 overall.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) has long been a supporter of the Zadroga Act, which provides health care services to 9/11 first responders.

How united are we? On the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks on Sept. 11, we reminisce about how on that day, and for so many days that followed, we felt united as a country. A persistent theme when discussing the events is that the aftermath of the attacks brought us closer together as a nation. Our editorial staff would argue that 15 years removed means we still reside in the aftermath, and the legacy of 9/11 is still being written. If we continue to splinter along party and racial lines, ties that bound us together in a time of horrible tragedy will simply be forgotten. There was evidence that immediately following the events, we grew closer as a nation. Stories proliferated about long lines of blood donors, American flags flew everywhere — on front porches and cars — people took the time to help one another and civility ruled the day. And as we observed memorial events throughout the past weekend, communities still came together in harmony and with pride. The initial feelings of solidarity as a reaction to the horrific events were real. However, we would hope that 15 years later, this feeling of unity would continue to apply to more issues. After visiting classrooms and speaking with teachers, some of whom are now educating children who were born after that day in 2001 or are too young to remember it, the theme of unity struck a chord with them as well. Our editorial staff wonders how America right now must look to those same students. They can turn on the news and witness divisiveness in an unfathomably ugly election season or see an NFL player being both heavily criticized and highly praised for kneeling during the national anthem. Do we still seem united? While we feel a sense of togetherness on the anniversary of that day, as we recall the tremendous loss of innocents, or remember those who risked their lives to save others and think of those out there fighting to protect this country, there is still an overwhelming sense that we are growing further and further apart.

There can be no question — Lee Zeldin has stood on the side of our first responders from day one, and has fought to make sure those who responded to the call on Sept. 11, 2001 receive the proper care they deserve. As a former NYPD sergeant who had been in New York on that day securing a lower Manhattan bridge and then spending hundreds of hours at Ground Zero and Fresh Kills Landfill, I know fully well the amount of pain and suffering the first responders had gone through as a result of the terror attacks. So many good people lost their lives that day. On that day and the months following, thousands of responders and recovery workers did what they could in a toxic environment unheard of in history. Due to the exposure of untold amounts of toxins, many oncehealthy responders and recovery workers have sadly departed, and
many thousands more are suffering from diseases attributed to their exposure in response to the terrorist attacks, including myself. The Zadroga Act, originally passed in 2010, worked to provide health care services for our 9/11 first responders, and had been recently reauthorized. And yet, some of our elected officials in the House and Senate have opposed its reauthorization, saying it’s too expensive or unnecessary. Being conservative has nothing to do with it; without a doubt, 9/11 first responders need and deserve this care. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) had been promoting Zadroga since first taking office. I personally witnessed Lee Zeldin on the frontlines fighting for its reauthorization. He directly assisted and spoke on behalf of the many responders who went to Washington D.C. to fight for the reauthorization of the Zadroga
Act. As Americans, we have a duty to serve those who have given up so much to serve us. We must never forget the sacrifices of these brave men and women, but many have. Lee Zeldin has done more than just honor our first responders; he has put himself at the forefront of the fight to help us recover. I am proud to call Lee Zeldin my congressman; a veteran himself, he understands the needs of our police, firefighters, medical first responders, iron workers, construction workers, utility workers and numerous other volunteers who responded to rescue, recover and rebuild. Congressman Zeldin, I wish to personally thank you for not forgetting and for fighting to pass the lifesaving piece of legislation known as the Zadroga Act.

In defense of the Clinton Foundation I’ve been listening for weeks to attacks on the evil Clinton Foundation. I want to share my experience with the organization. Sixteen years ago I became involved in opening a home for AIDS-affected children in Meru, Kenya, a town then being ravaged by the AIDS pandemic. We were able to open the home in 2005 to the first 18 children, three of whom were HIV positive. Since then, the number of children we support has risen to 78. In 2007 I heard a report
on the radio that the Clinton Foundation was spearheading an AIDS initiative in East Africa that would supply life-saving drugs to those afflicted with the disease. I called the Clinton Foundation offices in Harlem and asked for the name and number of their contact person in Nairobi. I shared this information with my colleague Joseph Kirima, the director of our home in Kenya. He immediately drove to Nairobi and met with the Foundation representative. We soon began to
receive the AIDS medication free of charge. Our three HIV-positive children, now teenagers, are still with us, and the threat of AIDS has diminished, in part because of the efforts of the AIDS Initiative. I think we need to look at the Clinton Foundation in the larger context of what it has accomplished, instead of viewing it as a campaign issue.

opinion Cheeky distant relatives not keeping their distance
E
xtended family has that wonderful yet terrible ring to it. When we gather with family we may not have seen in years, we get the chance to reminisce, to share details about our lives, and to face the horror of seeing someone who insists on reminding us of something we said or did that we’ve spent years working to forget. Recently, we gathered with a large group of family and got to watch our children, who are now in middle and high schools, By Daniel Dunaief face the same treatment I recall all too well from my youth. “He’s so grown up and handsome,”

is one of the more innocuous statements about my son. “He has your dimples,” another offered, which would be flattering except that I don’t have dimples. That lady insisted, however, that the laugh lines on the sides of my face were like dimples, to which my son and I blinked our long eyelashes, which he did get from me, and moved on. “The last time I saw you,” one friend started, “you must have been no more than this high,” she suggested, holding her hand around mid-knee level. “Do you remember?” No, how could he remember? When you’re that small, you barely remember your own name. Back when I was a kid, older relatives used to approach my cheeks as if they were fruit they had to squeeze to make themselves prune juice. Between thumb and index finger, they’d grip tightly while spitting into my face something about how cute I’d become. I’d focus on not letting the
tears spill down my sore cheeks as these distant relatives couldn’t keep their distance. Other people’s kids grow up incredibly quickly because we don’t have to take care of them when they get sick at night, drive them to sports or music practices, or push them to do their homework. We don’t have to battle with them when they decide that everything anyone who is more than 20 years old says is absolute nonsense and that they don’t want to live by anyone else’s rules. We can look at other people’s children as if they are a part of some longitudinal study or as if we are flipping through the pages of a picture book that spans several years. When I see some of these children who drift in and out of my life every few years, I’m tempted to tell them stories that wouldn’t interest them, about how incredibly shy they were 10 years earlier, or how their laugh used to be like a bubble machine, filling the
room with happy suds. For the giggling girl who became the taciturn teenager, those stories are as welcome as persistent questions about the boys in her grade or events that occurred during the day in school. I can’t stop myself from commenting on how much taller the kids are getting, in large part because many of these teenagers, who I used to get on one knee to see eye to eye, are now towering over me. I even made one of them smile when I asked if he wouldn’t mind bending down to hug me. At this recent gathering, I asked my son to go around the table and name as many of the relatives as he could. The relatives were aghast at my putting him on the spot but, thoroughly enjoying the day, he recognized the request was a playful prank. No matter what I say to other people’s kids, I make sure I don’t pinch anyone’s cheeks. Even all these years later, I can still see those feral fingers and thumbs coming at me like talons.
When you come to a fork in the road, take it
T
hroughout our lives there are roads not taken. What might have happened, who might we have become, are all fascinating questions for which we will never know the answers. Suppose we had gone to a different college, married a different spouse, taken a different first job, followed a different career path, how would our lives have played out? Now most people we have asked have said they would change little or in their By Leah S. Dunaief nothing lives if they had a do-over, that they had few regrets. But suppose the circumstances had changed, that when we were presented with a choice, we had taken the other road. It can be fun to speculate. So, to paraphrase Yogi Berra’s
Between you and me
famous quote, what are some of those other forks in the road? The first such choice that comes to mind for me is the decision my husband and I made to return to the East Coast. He was ending his stint in the Air Force in Texas, and he had gotten a job offer from the medical center at The University of Oklahoma. We went to look, my husband and I and our then two children. The people were gracious, welcoming and encouraging. The medical school had a position open in the ophthalmology department, and he was thought to be the right fit after his considerable experience taking care of airmen and their families. The school made him what sounded to us, after the military, like a terrific offer. He toured the hospital, we were shown nice areas of Oklahoma City in which we might live, we were taken to dinner at a country club and we met several other young families who were happily settled there. At the end of a lovely weekend, we turned to each other and said “no.” We were sure that we wanted to settle in San Diego, California. We

had been out to the West Coast during my husband’s vacation weeks, and we loved the area — La Jolla in particular. The city was set in the hills, curved around the harbor, offered a fine academic and cultural existence and had the best climate in the United States. My husband hated the cold weather and thought he had found Shangri-la. I wasn’t so sure about the occasional earthquake tremors that rattled the dishes in the cabinet where we stayed, but I lusted for the ocean after two years in northern Texas. A decision was made: We would move there as soon as he was discharged. He even found a possible associate in a growing practice and we checked out a couple of places to live. OK, you might ask, how did we wind up on the North Shore of Long Island? The answer: family. Our children were my parents’ only grandchildren, my parents were our children’s only grandparents, and in those days — the late 1960s — flying between coasts was a big deal involving many hours and changes of planes. And, anyway,
my father hated to fly. Additionally my parents were tied to their business in New York City with no plans to retire. On the other side, my husband’s three siblings and their families, along with aunts and cousins, were all in the New York area. We reluctantly yielded to the pull of family and, in a manner of speaking, we left our hearts in San Diego and came east. We then had to decide where in the vicinity of New York we would stay. The choice was between two medical centers that were on the drawing board: Valhalla, in Westchester, and Stony Brook. So how did we wind up here? That is a story for another column. Would we be different had we settled in La Jolla? Would our children be different? Ironically one of my sons felt the siren song of that beautiful coastal city of San Diego and almost moved there. But the proximity to family, among other considerations, prevailed. Had we taken the other road, we would be the same people with the same values, I trust, but the details of our lives? We will never know.
