Legislators, Activists Call for Electrification of Transportation

Representatives from the national environmental advocacy group Sierra Club along with local representatives are calling for the electrification of Long Island’s transportation, especially its trains. On Dec. 9, the Sierra Club was joined by local representatives at a press conference at the Long Island Rail Road’s Stony Brook train station. The event was part of the Get Set, Go Green! relay, where people from across the state, including Buffalo, Rochester, Lower Hudson Valley, New York City and Plattsburgh, are traveling to Albany on multiple modes of low-carbon transportation. The goal is to deliver a petition signed by thousands of New Yorkers to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) by Dec. 12. The Dec. 9 event included a send-off for relayer Edgar Cid, 25, of Lindenhurst, who was set to take the 1:19 p.m. train from Stony Brook to Penn Station to deliver petitions to the next relayer in New York City. Cid said he was happy to participate as he realizes the importance of moving toward more electric-based transportation on the Island, including trains. Charles Bevington, chair of Sierra Club Long Island Group, said so far more than 7,500 signatures have been collected and the hope is

This is an investment that we need to make into electrification, not into [20th]-century diesel locomotives.” Three train branches transverse Brookhaven — Port Jefferson, Ronkonkoma (including Greenport) and Montauk. Romaine said each of the branches depends on diesel at some point, and he and the Town Board have advocated converting to electrification since he entered office. “The MTA is not spending the money that it should be spending on electrifying these lines,” he said. “Imagine less diesel flowing into our atmosphere because our lines are electrified.” Miller said he knows many from Calverton to Greenlawn commute by car to the Ronkonkoma line. “This is completely environmentally inappropriate and unsustainable,” he said.

Nation

One on One with Lee Zeldin

Congressman discusses impeachment hearings and more Committee, I was already in the SCIF in my seat when those other members walked in.

The U.S. House of Representatives has recommended filing articles of impeachment of the 45th president of the United States of America Donald J. Trump (R). Many elected officials, mostly Democrats and constitutional scholars, see a moral and legal imperative for their position, while Republicans have largely remained loyal to their party leader. With some experts saying that the nation is under threat, the situation demands everyone’s full attention. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY1) is the elected congressional representative for most of Suffolk County. His district extends to the west to the eastern edges of Kings Park and includes Smithtown and Hauppauge and parts of Commack. Hours after the recommendation was announced on Dec. 5, Rep. Zeldin agreed to an email interview on the topic of impeachment.

What is your take on House Republicans interrupting on Oct. 23 the impeachment probe committee meeting? There should have been greater transparency and a fairer process in the first place. They were very frustrated as elected members of Congress being completely in the dark while being asked questions back home from constituents and local media about what was going on with the impeachment inquiry.

Do you see any compelling reason for impeachment? No. In your view, what constitutes a crime or misdemeanor offense worthy of impeachment? Treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors as laid out in Section 4 of Article II of the Constitution. (Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.)

What’s your reaction to the impeachment?

Instead of focusing on opposing everything and anything, House Democrats should focus on the issues most important to the American people, working on bipartisan victories to pass the [U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement] USMCA, combat the heroin and opioid abuse epidemic, secure our borders and so much more. (Editor’s note: The White House and House Democrats reached a deal Dec. 10 to pass the USMCA.) Why did you, along with other House Republicans, interrupt a committee meeting that had members of both parties in attendance and stall the impeachment probe? The premise of your question is false. As a member of the House Foreign Affairs

Do you believe a U.S. president should use U.S. taxpayer dollars as leverage to coerce a foreign leader to investigate a political rival? If you are asking that question related to the Ukraine fact pattern, then I disagree with the premise of your question. What is your take on what happened with President Trump requesting [help from] Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky? Can you clarify this question? Clarification: Do you find any of these actions objectionable? President Trump requested in a July 25, 2019, phone call that Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky take a call from his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to discuss an investigation into the son of his political rival. The White House then placed that same day a formal hold on $250 million congressionally approved security funding for Ukraine. The funds were ultimately released Sept. 11 after a whistle-blower filed a complaint, 85 days after the Pentagon announced that aid had become available, 19 days before funds expire. That is your version of the story. You are entitled to your opinion but I obviously would disagree with the premise of your question.

obsession.

be an acceptable outcome after all of that.

Has anything in the ongoing impeachment proceedings changed your mind concerning the actions of the president? No.

(On background, Zeldin voted in favor of the House resolution [H.J. Res. 77 Opposing the decision to end certain United States efforts to prevent Turkish military operations against Syrian Kurdish forces in Northeast Syria] regarding this issue. The resolution indicated that the policy was in the best interest of Russia and not U.S.)

Can you please tell us how many former members of Trump’s campaign, cabinet and personal lawyers have been investigated and/or convicted of crimes? What’s your reaction to this? I’m not aware of any new information to add beyond what you know already. As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, when did you become aware of the removal of U.S. troops from Kurdish territories? Do you believe other countries or leaders have benefited from that strategy? As I relayed to you immediately following the announcement, the Kurds have fought, bled and died fighting alongside the US. They have been warriors and brothers in battle along the way. The president is right to want to end endless war, but the Turks wiping out the Kurds would absolutely not

What do you believe are President Trump’s top three accomplishments in office? Helping grow the economy, tackling illegal immigration and going after MS-13, among many other victories. Could you list three negative things that he has fostered? The SALT deduction change, an offshore drilling proposal impacting the Atlantic and certain funding levels in the federal budget. Many of your North Shore constituents are calling for more Town Hall-style meetings. Are you planning any? One on One with Zeldin Continued on A6

THE FAVORITE GIFT

Do you believe that Ukraine and not Russia interfered in the 2016 election? Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Ukrainians also interfered in the 2016 election. That is indisputable. The scope and nature of the interference was different in the two examples, not on the same scale, and should not be equated. Are you planning to make the impeachment proceedings a point in your upcoming reelection campaign? The Democrats are ripping our country in half with their destructive impeachment

Nation One on One with Zeldin Continued from A5

I had a town hall in September hosted by the Mastic Beach Property Owners Association. The event was completely open to anyone in the public and was widely promoted and attended by the Democratic Party and they got their questions and comments in, including multiple times with 2, 3, and more follow-ups to their original question/comment. This is in addition to Mobile Office Hours, Coffee with Your Congressman and many other meetings and events. This is the pace that I’ve set and maintained since entering Congress in 2015. As I’ve said time and time again, if someone wishes to participate in a future meeting or would like to schedule a time to meet one-onone, they can contact my office at 631-2891097 to find a time most convenient for them, including after work or on the weekend. For example, this year in Smithtown alone, I’ve held Mobile Office Hours and Coffee with Your Congressman. Can you please define for your constituents what corruption means? An example is a corrupt Ukrainian energy company run by a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch hiring someone with no Ukraine experience and no energy experience for at least $50,000 per month for the sole reason that they are the vice president’s son. Can you please offer the distinctions between a democracy, autocracy and dictatorship? The widely accepted definitions are as follows: Democracy: A government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections. Autocracy: Government in which one person possesses unlimited power. Dictatorship: A form of government in which absolute power is concentrated in a dictator or a small clique. Also, Michael Cohen is behind bars for campaign finance violations that include paying Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to keep quiet about their affairs with Donald Trump. Cohen testified that it was done in coordination with Donald Trump. Does paying “hush money” to influence the outcome of an election equate with bribery or a high crime or misdemeanor? Why or why not? Is it corruption? He made these claims before Congress after pleading guilty to crimes, one of which was lying to Congress. He’s not a reliable witness to say the least.

Suozzi, King Introduce Legislation to Restore SALT Deductions BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Representatives Thomas Suozzi (D-NY3) and Peter King (R-NY-2) have introduced bipartisan legislation to reverse the impact of last year’s tax overhaul, which eliminated the deduction of state and local taxes from federal filings. If passed, people who live in highsalary, high-tax areas, such as Long Island would regain write-offs plus other benefits. “The SALT cap was particularly unfair to Long Islanders and New Yorkers because they already subsidize other states by paying $48 billion more into the federal government than we receive back,” Suozzi said in a statement. “It is a tax on taxes already paid, and it hits the homeowners whose local taxes fund police, firefighters and other services.” The legislation, called the Restoring Tax Fairness for States and Localities Act, would eliminate the marriage penalty by doubling the cap to $20,000 for joint filers for 2019 and would fully restore state and local tax (SALT) deductions for 2020 and 2021. The cost of the plan would be fully offset by returning the top individual tax rate from 37 percent, back to 39.6 percent, the number prior to the GOP tax bill of 2017. Suozzi’s district includes parts of Queens and extends into Nassau and Suffolk counties, mainly along the North Shore and includes parts of Kings Park. In the region, more than 250,000 families reportedly have claimed the SALT deduction at an average rate of $18,300. Capping the deduction has cost Long Islanders, and all New Yorkers, billions in additional taxes, according Suozzi. In fact, Suozzi reports that the average SALT burden statewide is above the $10,000 cap in 52 of 62 counties. “Eliminating deductions for local and state taxes will have a devastating effect on New York. We give far more to Washington than we get back. For every dollar we give, we get $0.79 back. That’s a $48 billion shortfall and hurts our middle-class Long Islanders. This legislation is critical,” Rep. King said in a statement. Some elected officials are skeptical of the legislation. Earlier this year, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY1) introduced legislation that would fully reinstate SALT reductions and also close previously unaddressed loopholes. He said he prefers that to raising the individual tax rate. “The issue Congressman Zeldin has with this new proposal by Representative Suozzi and others is that it permanently raises the 37 percent individual tax rate to 39.6 percent and only temporarily makes changes to the

SALT deduction until 2021,” said Katie Vincentz, Zeldin’s spokesperson. Zeldin, Vincentz said, would be happy to work with Suozzi and King to fix the current proposal and reiterated that the legislation Zeldin introduced would permanently reinstate the deduction without raising individual income taxes. The Restoring Tax Fairness for States and Localities Act was approved in the House Committee on Ways and Means Dec. 10. “In the midst of all the battles in

Washington, D.C., I know that my constituents on Long Island want tax fairness. The 2017 cap on SALT broke a century-old agreement. A covenant to protect state and local government and my bill restores that protection, it restores that covenant, and it restores fairness as well,” said Suozzi. “I thank Chairman Neal and the Ways and Means Committee for passing my bipartisan legislation and I hope it will be passed by the House of Representatives in short order.”

State Bans Carcinogenic Consumer Product Chemical 1,4-Dioxane

BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation into law Dec. 9 banning the chemical 1,4-dioxane, which is found in cleaning products, personal care products and cosmetics. The Environmental Protection Agency considers 1,4-dioxane a likely carcinogen. Yet the dangerous chemical can be found in numerous household products that families use every day. Recent testing done at an independent lab found 1,4-dixoane in over 80 percent of cleaning and personal care products tested, including shampoos, body washes, baby products and detergents. Once used by consumers and washed down the drain, 1,4-dioxane enters local water systems. Elevated levels of 1,4-dioxane have been found across the state, with EPA data showing that Long Island has the highest levels detected in the country. The Suffolk County and Suffolk County Water Authority have been conducting tests to monitor the situation, and purchased equipment in some cases to remove the

chemical. The county continues to characterize the chemical as a major emerging concern to Long Island’s drinking water. “By signing this bill into law, Gov. Cuomo has taken the bold step of saying that we are no longer going to simply chase after 1,4-dioxane after it gets into the environment, we are going to take strong steps to prevent it from getting into the environment in the first place,” said Peter Scully, deputy county executive and water quality czar. “Once again, the governor has made New York a national leader in the battle to ensure a cleaner environment for future generations.” Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment (CCE), has been a strong proponent of the ban and has provided a consumer guide listing products to avoid on the CCE website. “In the battle of public need over corporate greed, the public just won,” she said. “Washing our laundry, bathing children and washing dishes should not result in cancer causing chemicals in our drinking water.” This legislation, she added, is precedent setting and sends a clear message to industries

that the public’s need for clean water trumps corporate interests. “This was a hard fought battle, with Dow Chemical, American Chemistry Council, Lysol, Proctor and Gamble and others all working against the bill,” she said. “Public support for this legislation was abundant and widespread, with 40,000 signatures on petitions sent to the governor, 10,000 letters from across the state and thousands of phone calls made in the last two weeks asking the governor to sign the bill.” Removing 1,4-dixoane from consumer products that are washed down the drain will be essential to meet this new drinking water standard. “In the absence of federal leadership, and to protect our communities, New York State

is currently poised to adopt the nation’s most protective maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for PFOA, PFOS, and 1,4-dioxane,” said State Department of Health spokesperson Erin Silk. “New York State agencies are also undertaking what is arguably the nation’s most comprehensive investigation of potential sources of contamination by these chemicals. The public comment period for the regulatory process has closed and the department has concluded its review of nearly 5,000 comments for discussion at the next Drinking Water Quality Council meeting.” New York State Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Rockville Center) and Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) sponsored the bills (S4389B/A6295A) in the Legislature. Senator Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) and Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) are co-sponsors.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT DESIGN REPORT/ ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (NYSDOT) OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS: LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY (I-495) AT CROOKED HILL ROAD (CR 13) PROJECT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 0229.48 A Draft Design Report/Environmental Assessment (DDR/EA) and all supporting documentation for the Operational Improvements: Long Island Expressway (I-495) at Crooked Hill Road (CR 13) Project will be available for public review and comment beginning on December 9, 2019 and continuing through the public comment deadline on January 10, 2020. The DDR/EA has been prepared to assess the project’s effect on the quality of the human environment in accordance with the requirements of the Council on Environmental Quality regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as defined in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 1500-1508, and the Federal Highway Administration’s Environmental Impact and Related Procedures, Final Rule (23 CFR Part 771). Copies of the DDR/EA are available for review on NYSDOT’s website (https://www. dot.ny.gov/crookedhillroad) and during business hours at the following locations: • NYSDOT Region 10, 250 Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge, New York, 11788 • Brentwood Public Library, 34 Second Ave, Brentwood, NY 11717 Motorists cannot directly access Crooked Hill Road from the -Long Island Expressway (I-495), requiring interstate travelers to take circuitous routes on local roads to reach it. From the LIE westbound, drivers must travel nearly two miles on local roads to reach Crooked Hill Road. Those traveling eastbound on the LIE, must take Exit 52, wait at a traffic signal at Commack Road (CR

4) and travel another half mile. Travelers continuing eastbound must get on the Sagtikos State Parkway and take Exit S2. This project will modify the interchange of the Long Island Expressway (I-495) at Crooked Hill Road in the Towns of Islip and Smithtown, Suffolk County by adding two new off-ramps and one new on-ramp. In addition to the proposed ramps, this project will improve the merge length onto the southbound Sagtikos State Parkway and reconfigure the on-ramp to the southbound Sagtikos State Parkway from the Pilgrim State Hospital. The proposed interchange project would improve access to industrial parks in Hauppauge, Deer Park and Brentwood, as well as to shopping and commerce in Commack. Accessing Suffolk County Community College’s Brentwood campus also would be more convenient. Preliminary design plans for the project were developed by NYSDOT in coordination with Federal, State and local agencies. Details of the design are included in the DDR/EA. Any comments regarding the proposed project or on the DDR/EA must be submitted in writing on or before January 10, 2020 to the Crooked Hill Road Design Project Team, New York State Department of Transportation, 250 Veterans Memorial Highway, Room 5A15, Hauppauge, New York, 11788 185 12/12 1x ts

companies to transition to all-electric fleets by 2030 and asked the governor and state legislators to assist them with funding. The activist cited health concerns from diesel fuel emissions including increased cancer-causing soot and incidences of pneumonia and asthma attacks. For years, officials have pleaded for the electrification of the LIRR branches that require diesel. State Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) said in an email that he hears complaints about poor and insufficient service and realizes the environmental benefits of electrification. “Electrification, including of the Oyster Bay and Port Jefferson lines, would greatly improve service and provide riders desperately needed relief,” Gaughran said. “It is also tremendously beneficial for our environment. I am not optimistic the MTA is taking the urgency of electrification seriously and I urge them to seriously consider electrification.” Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory officials recognize the environmental as well as other benefits of electrification of the LIRR. “The proposed improvements to the LIRR, including purchases of new trains, electrification of the Port Jefferson tracks and the addition of a third track between Floral Park and Hicksville will all serve to increase the frequency of trains and the efficient use of clean energy for transportation,” said Bruce Stillman, CSHL president and CEO. “Cold Spring Harbor

Laboratory has a close relationship with Stony Brook University and improving rail transportation between our two institutions will help to advance science and education.” Romaine said the rough estimate for electrification of the railroad was about $18 million a mile. There will be a need for a new rail yard, which the town already has plans in place, and electrification stations along the branches to ensure the rails are electrified along with other signal and communications upgrades. “It’s an expensive project,” he said. “It’s long overdue. We’ve relied on diesel since forever it seems like, except for the first [steam] locomotive, but it’s a hundred year old technology.” Jane Fasullo, former chair of the local Sierra Club, said the offset of the costs will be improved health, and in the long term as the cost of the infrastructure of wind and solar goes down, the cost of electrifying vehicles will go down. “It’s one of those things where you put money into it today to save a lot of money later on,” Fasullo said. In an email statement, LIRR spokesman Aaron Donovan said the railroad shares the Sierra Club’s concern. “We recognize our service is one of the most significant ways that Long Islanders can lower their carbon footprint, and we strive to continuously improve our service delivery,” Donovan said. “Public transportation, even when powered by diesel, is greener per passenger mile than private, single-occupancy electric vehicles.” A copy of the petition can be found at sc.org/55x35.

DJ Just for the Record also provided music. Cookies and milk were served by Smithtown’s recreation department with Garguilo’s Bakery and Lessing’s Hospitality Group donated fresh baked cookies for the event.

Letters to the Editor

Open Letter to Rep. Tom Suozzi The High-Speed Electric Train Imperative

As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. So, the Sierra Club, state and local elected officials in Brookhaven are making noise, calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles and target the Long Island Rail Road for electrification. So far, the group, which held a press conference in Stony Brook Dec. 9, has accumulated more than 7,500 signatures, and hopes for 10,000 from Long Islanders by Dec. 12. It may be enough to grab the governor’s attention, but why not help expand the campaign, since people from many other communities along the line benefit from such a long-awaited move. We ask readers, and their affiliated organizations, to join the effort. The Town of Smithtown, for example, recently announced the construction of a new apartment complex to be built across from Town Hall on Main Street in Smithtown. The appeal of that project was promoted as a good housing option for young professionals who regularly commute into Manhattan. Town Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) and town council members should push for electrification. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) attended the groundbreaking to applaud that project. He and the other legislators should also appeal to the governor for electrification of the Huntington-Port Jeff line. In Huntington, state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) has been involved with the MTA overhaul. He is pushing for the idea, and it might help if industries and businesses along the commuter rail line organize their own letter writing campaign. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Stony Brook University are both along the Port Jefferson Branch. The governor has acknowledged, when he delivered this year’s budget plan, that both institutions were key components to growing Long Island and the state’s economy, extolling his intent to make the area a premier research hub in the United States. So, why not address that slow commute with high-speed service between these research centers, New York City and the region’s airports? Let’s not forget it might also reduce the number of cars on our busy roads. Grassroot efforts are impactful and should be regularly exercised. On this and many other issues it has a way of instilling a community’s faith in the democratic form of government. The outcome can not only reduce emissions in the transportation sector and benefit the economy. It will also improve quality of life. For example, the 4:18 train on Dec. 10 from Stony Brook to Penn Station was 35 minutes late from Port Jeff, effectively making the journey to New York an unacceptable 2 1/2 hours. As a result two staff members had their respective evening’s entertainment truncated. The Sierra Club has an online petition which can be found at: sc.org/55x35. To submit petitions from a letter writing campaign to the governor directly, his press office recommends using the postal address: Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, New York State Capitol, State Street and Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12224.

I write to you again, U.S. Rep. Suozzi [D-Glen Cove], to express my utter dismay and disappointment because your party appears ready to vote on articles of impeachment and attempt to remove President Donald Trump [R] from office. I implore you to take a good hard look at what is happening and realize that these accusation if true do not nearly come close to being impeachable offenses and are doomed to failure in a trial in the U.S. Senate. This situation does not compare to either the Nixon or Clinton situations both of which involved serious provable allegations which were handled in a bipartisan cooperation needed to solve the serious problems that had been facing our country before this president was duly elected. I am concerned that this is just the next step in a process that began the day after the

president was elected in 2016. The Democrats were shocked and could not believe nor accept that the election was won fairly by the president and the deep state immediately began the process aimed at removing him from office. I believe your party was disappointed that after two years the Mueller Report did not give it the ammunition it needed for removal, so as the party moved further to the left it began the current impeachment process. I would hope that you listened carefully to the words of law professor Jonathan Turley last week when he told the House Judiciary Committee and the world that he did not vote for Trump and that he did previously vote for presidents Obama and Clinton and that he was often in disagreement with Trump’s policy. But in his learned opinion this impeachment

attempt should not be happening because your party is mad that he was elected and because the events as described even if provable do not come close to meeting the constitutional requirements necessary to impeach a sitting president. Congressman, I do not hear your voice, I do not hear you telling your fellow Democratic colleagues this is wrong and must be stopped at once. I do not hear you telling the ludicrous left-wingers that are now very influential in your party that this is seriously detrimental to our wonderful republic and that truly disappoints me. Hopefully, this letter will give you food for thought so you can make sense to those in your caucus to come to their senses and stop this impeachment process immediately. Lee A. Delia Northport

Reader Responds to ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ One frequently hears defenders of President Donald Trump (R) refer to something they like to call “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” They don’t seem to realize the irony contained in this phrase. Especially when they claim Trump “has accomplished more than any other president.” There’s your real Trump Derangement Syndrome. According to a recent poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov, 53 percent of Republicans think Trump is a better president than Abraham Lincoln (R). What else to call this but Trump Insanity Syndrome? But rather than trading insults, let’s take a sober look at what Trump supporters seem to be OK with: • They’re OK with a president who abuses his power as president to extort political favors for himself from a fragile ally by taking actions directly contrary to the national interest of the United States. • They’re OK with a president who renders the separation of powers meaningless by ordering the entire executive branch to refuse compliance with lawful congressional subpoenas, something no other president has ever done. • They’re OK with a president who asked Russia for help with his 2016 election campaign on national TV. Less than six hours later, Russian military intelligence did exactly what he asked.

• They’re OK with a president who propagates disinformation and debunked conspiracy theories that have no basis in truth. • They’re OK with a president who accepts the word of Russian President Vladimir Putin over the unanimous conclusion of his own intelligence agencies. • They’re OK with a president who has repeated more than 13,000 lies and misleading claims while in office. Not matters of opinion, just out-and-out lies. • They’re OK with a president who is laughed at, despised, or both, by most of the world. • They’re OK with a president who has been allegedly accused of sexually assaulting multiple women and openly boasted about it. • They’re OK with a president who makes ignorance a virtue. • They’re OK with a president who places his own interest above the national interest and has made selfdealing and corruption standard practice in his administration. • They’re OK with a president who stabs our allies — such as the Kurds — in the back. • They’re OK with a president who refused to condemn unequivocally neo-Nazis after a murderous rampage. • They’re OK with a president who makes racist statements and intentionally

heightens racial and ethnic tensions for his own political purposes. • They’re OK with a president who demonizes the press except for figures who treat him as all-wise, all-knowing, and always right. • They’re OK with a president who is the most divisive president since the Civil War, in spite of losing the popular vote by more votes than any president in history. • They’re OK with a president who has brought political discourse to a new low with childish and vulgar insults being his standard response to any criticism or opposition. • They’re OK with a president who makes a mockery of the religious values of compassion, and concern for the welfare of the poor, the sick and the stranger. • They’re OK with a president who has no sense of honor, duty or fidelity to the truth. So you tell me, who is deranged? Most of these are not impeachable offenses, although the first two certainly are. And who suffers from “a syndrome”? Someone like me who is very upset that the office of president of the United States is being so abused and demeaned, or someone who happily overlooks everything noted above and seems to have no problem with it?

Anger Builds Among Democratic Presidential Contenders

he Democratic hopefuls for the presidency sure seem angry these days, as the election clock counts down to less than a year. Last week, a man in Iowa had the audacity, the temerity, the unmitigated gall to ask Joe Biden, the front runner, about his son Hunter, who is at the center of this Ukrainian maelstrom. Biden reacted with anger and righteous indigD. None nation, calling the man a “damn of the above liar.” BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Good one. Or was it? Is that really the best way to react? Biden then nicknamed him “fat.” Yikes! That seemed cruel and disrespectful.

The man was throwing salt in either self-inflicted or Republican-directed wounds. But, hey, Biden’s son did sit on the board of an energy company in the Ukraine, which creates bad optics. It doesn’t mean he or his son did anything wrong. What’s weird now, though, is that Biden seemed to feel the need — or perhaps the test-marketed driven necessity — to attack the man who dared ask the question. That seems to be taking a page out of the book of the incumbent, who uses anger as a regular tool to define his enemies and keep them off balance, while rallying his troops. So, what happened to Mike Bloomberg? The billionaire was recently asked whether he was trying to buy the election. Out came the righteous indignation, along with a story about how he made his money, all the great work he did as mayor and how he won’t be beholden to any special interests. Grrr! What about Bernie Sanders? He’s a cult figure among many Democrats, but his demeanor seems to be one of the angry, older

white man. He reminds me of the Howard Beale character, played by Peter Finch, in the 1976 movie “Network.” Beale urges people to get up out of their chairs, go to the window and shout, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” Sanders, or the Larry David version of him, could easily be uttering the same line in response to (a) health care costs, (b) the cost of college tuition for people who could otherwise use education to change their lives, (c) climate change or (d) all of the above. And then there’s the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. I know she’s not running for president, but she ﬁnally lashed out at a reporter — does that also sound familiar — and suggested that her religion kept her from hating people. Her tone, method and message had more than a hint of anger, if not toward the president whom she and the Democrats were impeaching than to the reporter. The words she spoke, as she pointed her ﬁnger, were, “Don’t mess with me.” I was reminded of the line Geraldine Fitzgerald, as Martha Bach,

said in the 1981 movie “Arthur,” starring Dudley Moore, “Don’t screw with me, Burt.” If this past week is a preview of the upcoming primary and general elections, we’ve got about 11 months of Beale slogans and Bachs slaps to the faces. The wrestling match may once again change its tune for “the Ds” and “the Rs” when we know which D will be facing off against the most likely R. Maybe the Ds host a party for themselves where they describe the hopes, opportunities and promise of the American Dream for one and all. Maybe the Rs decide counterpunching has been overplayed, and they start hosting their own party, where they celebrate low taxes, low unemployment, a strong economy and their plans for an even better future. Primal anger, however, seems more likely as we prepare for a testy election. Wouldn’t it be a welcome relief if at least one of the candidates offered civil, calm, graceful and pleasant replies, even to questions he or she found challenging?

walked and rode along the pitch black roads of Old Field South, moving from house to house for the Three Village Historical Society’s Candlelight House Tour. The harrowing driving in the maze of streets that make up that development, built by tycoon Ward Melville starting in 1929, was rewarded by the bright lights and cheer inside the homes open for a walk-through. The homes are artfully decorated and several members of the society tell us about the history of each. All of that is donated for the sake of the organization. And did I mention the food? There are tidbits and wine at each stop on the Friday night event, supplied generously by local restaurants. There were six houses, plus Old Field Farm, on the fundraising tour, which ends with lots more food and drink at the Old Field Club. It seems like half the community turns out for the festivities. In the interests of full disclosure, I have to confess that while I love history, with its stories and larger-than-life people, I am also an incorrigible snoop when it comes to checking out the insides of people’s homes. One

can tell so much about those that dwell there and also get a couple of decorating ideas for one’s own abode. Then Sunday afternoon I capped a visit to the Dickens Festival in beautifully decorated Port Jefferson with a performance of that holiday favorite, “The Nutcracker.” This one was presented by the Harbor Ballet Theatre and the talented students of Amy Tyler School of Dance, with the help of a trio of marvelous New York City professionals. For 10 years straight I saw “The Nutcracker” at City Center in Manhattan. It was a holiday tradition as I was growing up, but I had not seen the ballet since then until this thrilling show. I was reminded all over again how charming a ballet and how much I love Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky’s music. A quick trip then to the grand tree lighting on the Stony Brook village green, and then back to my living room. I say, this was not a bad way to spend a weekend, all nasty cracks about the sterile suburbs aside. Yes, I enjoy the delights of the city, but they are hard to compare with the comforts of home.

The Attractions of Village Living

ometimes I think how lucky I am to live here. One of those times was this past week when my life was greatly enhanced by what is around me. Now I don’t want to come off as a Pollyanna. There are also times when I’m not feeling so lucky — as when the property tax bill arrives, which it will shortly and with a new total that includes a compounded increase. Fortunately, I only have to think about that twice Between a year but, on the you and me upside, I can apBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF preciate regularly the advantages of village living. I will share with you what happened last week, in chronological order. On Wednesday,

Dec. 4, I went to an Emerson String Quartet concert at Stony Brook University’s Staller Center. The Emerson is a world-famous act, whose upcoming performances are heralded on large posters in front of Lincoln Center in New York City. But I don’t have to go into the city to hear them play superbly on an evening. And I don’t have to pay exorbitant prices to park my car or spend many minutes looking for a distant parking place. Here, I can park in the adjacent SBU garage for free — one of my favorite four-letter words. I also don’t have to drive two hours to get to the concert site and then two hours back late at night. In a matter of minutes, I can reach the campus, park the car and be in my seat waiting for the illustrious four to walk on stage and begin to play. I can return home without trafﬁc in similar fashion. And the cost of the tickets to hear one of the most honored classical music groups on the globe? Little more than half of that charged in the Big Apple. After such a performance, I return home serenely happy. That was Wednesday. On the Friday, I
