Aenean feugiat ultrices Integer congue condimentum urna, sit amet aliquam State Senator Marty Golden (whom I serve as chief of staff) is suggesting that New York City name or rename a landmark, park or other significant place or facility after Steven McDonald as a tribute to his importance to our city and its residents. On the senator’s Facebook account, BY BRIAN KIERAN many, many suggestions have been made. Two which seem to have been suggested a bit more than the others are naming a part of Central Park after McDonald (as you know, Central Park is where the attack took place) and naming the Police Academy after him. I was surprised to learn that the Police Academy is not already named after a fallen police officer. Having learned that it does remain unnamed, I think naming the academy the Detective Stephen McDonald Police Academy would be a fitting honor. Certainly, McDonald, who remained a member of the force, visiting precincts and other commands to deliver inspirational talks to the members of the service — particularly the young members — about the importance of their work, considered his service a central part of his being. I hope New York City takes seriously the senator’s suggestions. And if it does, my vote would go for naming the Police Academy after Detective McDonald. WHAT WILL TRUMP DO? President-elect Donald Trump changed his high-handed rejection of reports from the U.S. intelligence community that Russia cyber-attacked the U.S. to grudging acceptance that it really happened. He originally rejected any allegation that Russia was the source of the hack attacks by sarcastically suggesting that China or a 400-pound hacker in bed may have been the source. The reports pointed toward Vladimir Putin as the director of the hack attacks because he wanted to support Trump and damage Clinton. Reince Priebus, the former Republican National Committee chair who Trump tapped to be his chief of staff, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," said that Trump now believed Russia was behind the cyber-attacks on the Democratic Party organization but remained silent as to whether the president elect agreed that the hacks were directed by Russian President Putin. Priebus maintained that Mr. Trump plans to order the intelligence community to recommendation actions that tristique. felis cursus Ut libero, tortor. erat, rutrum non sapien ullamcorper “may be taken." President Obama has already imposed sanctions on Russia for the cyber-attacks, including expulsion of diplomatic staff. Mr. Trump scoffed at those moves and had General Michael T. Flynn, his pick to be national security adviser, call Sergei Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, to arrange a phone call between President Putin and President Trump after the inauguration. Hopefully Mr. Trump will not vacate the sanctions and make the U.S. look even weaker by failing to respond to this aggression. Mr. Trump continues to say that, since he won the election, he will be unintimidated in his political actions by any potential political backlash. Hopefully, this will mean he will be unintimidated by his dear friend Vladimir and be able to admit to any error and move on to build cooperation in Washington, D.C. and across the nation. There is nothing wrong with working together toward creating consensus. When the center cannot hold,things tend to fall apart, as the poet Yeats wrote. That is true in life and in leadership. You do not want a divided nation since it will create an environment of hopelessness where the best of us lack all conviction while the worst are filled with passionate intensity. Intensity is a good thing but it must be balanced with thoughtfulness just like might must be tempered with mercy or we shall find ourselves in a troubled wasteland without hope or progress toward a better future. Mr. Trump and the rest of the nation need to take inspiration from Detective Steven McDonald, who was laid to rest after being shot and paralyzed from the neck down over 30 years ago by a teenager in Central Park. He loved his family, fellow officers and the community he served. He became a beacon of hope and an inspiration to anyone facing a difficulty. He overcame all obstacles including hate and went on to live an incredible life spreading a message of love and forgiveness like a modern day saint. He forgave 15-year-old Shavod Jones, the robbery suspect who shot him three times and almost killed him. Somehow, Steven McDonald overcame hatred and self-pity, and spent the rest of his days loving his family and fellow human beings while making inspirational appearances throughout the world. He exhibited monumental courage and lived the meaning of forgiveness. PBA President Pat Lynch described him as “a powerful force for all that is good” and “inspiration to all of us.” Steven McDonald said, “We’re here for a reason ... we’re here to do good.” If we strive to be like him and do good and inspire good in others every day, no challenge will ever defeat us. COMMON SENSE BY JERRY KASSAR Hospital situation need of triage College Hospital seems to be destined Victory Memorial Hospital, Peninsula Vincent’s Hospital. proposed plans are short on service to on dollars in the pockets of developers. to believe that, as the city grows, increases prospers, fewer health Do we chain bank on hospitals? the company that wins the proposal be obligated to provide a large facility to compensate for the service hospital it will replace. Congressmember Hakeem Jefferies opportunity to complain that the NYPD low-level marijuana arrests in hinted that this may be an indication Blasio is really not serious about following through on his campaign promises to assure the NYPD scrupulously honors individual citizens civil rights. He stated that the “new administration promised change but instead we get more of the same.” That is not true. The number of arrests for low-level marijuana possession has dropped and NYPD policy is not to force a suspect to display small amounts of pot in order to make an arrest. Governor Cuomo has proposed decriminalizing possession of 15 grams or less of pot whether hidden or in plain view, which would take this controversy and its attendant political baggage off the table. It would be nice to let police offi cers perform their duties instead of being pawns in a political chess game. Mayor de Blasio has fulfi lled an incredible amount of his promises in a very short time. He has imposed the extra protection of an inspector general for the NYPD and signed off on the laws passed by the City Council which may leave police offi cers subject to lawsuits for negligent performance of their duties. He has provided universal pre K without a tax increase. He is settling the outstanding municipal worker contracts neglected by Mike Bloomberg for the next mayor to handle. He is championing Vision Zero to reduce traffi c fatalities to zero. It is unfair to question his commitment to his ideals or to the fulfi llment of his promises. The City Council will pass 11 laws and four resolutions to create a Vision Zero environment for our streets. The new laws provide a lower speed limit for city streets and enhanced penalties for reckless drivers. The state legislature must approve the changes. We also need the state legislature to provide a reasonable number of speed cameras to enforce the new laws. Let us hope that our legislators will work together as a group to see that these changes and improvements are made quickly.
