LIPA studies: repowering PJ power plant doesn’t make sense

By Alex PetRosKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com The Long Island Power Authority is tied up in a battle with communities including Port Jefferson Village that host,

by LIPA’s estimation, outdated and increasingly obsolete power plants with steep property tax sticker prices. After the release of a study on the possibility of refurbishing and repowering, among others, the Port Jefferson Power Station, the power authority now has the data to back up their assertions.

LIPA released its 2017 Integrated Resource Plan and Repowering Studies April 22, a report conducted by their partner PSEG Long Island’s engineers, energy specialists, planners and consultants, which was later independently reviewed by consulting firm the Brattle Group and the New York State Department of Public Service.

In August 2016, New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) mandated that 50 percent of the state’s electricity come from renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, by 2030. The study found that if LIPA were to achieve compliance, it would be overkill to cover times of peak demand that renewable sources couldn’t

cover by repowering the Port Jefferson steam unit plant, which runs on oil or gas, and increasing its use. Currently the plant, which was built in the 1950s, is only used about 11 percent of the time.

LIPA’s study suggested that number could be as low as six percent by 2030 if trends regarding the efficiency and availability of renewable sources of energy continue.

The study also concluded forecasts for peak demand are decreasing, due to an increase of energy efficiency products on the market for consumers, meaning the repowering of the Port Jefferson Power Station would not be necessary in years to come. The plant has the capacity to produce about 400 megawatts of power, and LIPA’s study said they need to add about 800 megawatts of renewable power sources to be compliant with Cuomo’s mandate by 2030 as is.

A lawsuit is currently pending that includes Port Jefferson Village and the Port Jefferson School District as plaintiffs against LIPA, associated with the power authority’s desire to pay less in property taxes at sites like the Port Jefferson power plant because of its condition and infre-

Suffolk County makes grants available Brookhaven Town amends to upgrade outdated septic systems nitrogen protection zone law

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com

For a few hundred dollars annually, Suffolk County residents now have the option to take a step to improve the quality of Long Island waters.

County Executive Steve Bellone (D) urged homeowners at a town hall meeting at Port Jefferson Village Center April 27 to get on board with a new grant and loan program that will help make the installation of state-of-the-art, nitrogen-reducing septic systems more affordable.

Bellone said the new systems, which would replace the 360,000 outdated and environmentally harmful septic tanks and leaching systems installed in a majority of homes across the county, are the next step in a years-long initiative to reclaim Long Island’s water.

“Water quality is everything to us here — it’s our quality of life, our heritage, our economy, tourism economy, our recreation and what we drink,” Bellone told a roomful of residents in Port Jefferson. “We need to retrofit those homes to protect our environment and reverse decades of water quality decline. We will lose another generation here if this is not done right and we’re very focused on making sure we do this right.”

Under the Suffolk County Septic Improvement Program, Bellone and Deputy County Executive Peter Scully told attendees individual homeowners can

apply for grants administered by the county’s department of health services, which will approve permits, perform inspections and supervise system installations.

Loans, administered by the nonprofit Community Development Corporation of Long Island, offer homeowners low-cost financing for up to $10,000.

To cover the $17, 850 total cost of installation, eligible homeowners would be given an $11,000 grant — $10,000 for the installation of the individual alternative on-site wastewater treatment systems and $1,000 for a pressurized shallow drain field. Homeowners would pay the balance with a 15year, fixed 3 percent loan.

The program primarily targets single-family, owner-occupied residences served by a septic system or cesspool. It excludes employees of the county, including elected officials or officeholders.

Charlie McAteer, a retired Port Jefferson Station resident and a

member of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association, said his home’s septic system is among the 360,000 that are a few decades old now. He said he and his wife showed up to the town hall meeting to gain more information on the grant program.

“We want to investigate it a bit more — see if it’s viable and economically feasible,” McAteer said.

“We just have to do some numbers-crunching and see if it makes sense in our particular parcel and then see if we would qualify.”

Ed Bram, from Port Jefferson, expressed concerns the county isn’t reaching out to the right group of people, as many in the room were already environmentally aware.

“We all think it’s a wonderful idea...so it’s sort of like preaching to the choir,” Bram said. “The general public out there has a different nature of thinking. I think the county is trying their best at doing something for the environment but going about it the wrong way.”

It’s a legitimate concern, Scully responded.

“There’s an education piece to this that people need to come to grips with,” Scully said. “It’s important for people to speak up.”

The County Executive hopes the project can get underway July 1, with 400 homeowners to be selected to receive funding in the first two years of the program.

Homeowners can contact septicdemo@suffolkcountyny.gov. for more information.

By Alex PetRosKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com In June 2016, the Brookhaven Town board voted unanimously to approve a local law proposed by Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) that established nitrogen protection zones within 500 feet of any body of water on or around Long Island. The zones prohibit new structures or dwellings being built in that range from installing cesspools or septic systems, which took effect in January.

At a board meeting last week, an amendment was passed that will allow the board to adjust the former law, which allows for 19 milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water discharged from new septic systems or cesspools.

This will come following the release of new technology that will make lowering the amount of nitrogen possible. It is uncertain what the new level may be, but once the town knows what it is, the board will be able to lower the limit immediately with the new amendment. Without the amendment, the limit would have to have waited to be put into effect Dec. 1.

“This law says we’ll meet the standard, but the minute there’s a lower standard, we will go with the lowest possible standard,” Brookhaven Su-

pervisor Ed Romaine (R) said during a public hearing on the amendment April 27.

Mary Anne Johnston of the Affiliated Brookhaven Civic Association commended the town’s actions during the hearing.

When the law was initially passed in 2016, Romaine spoke about the importance of limiting nitrogen in Long Island’s waters.

“We’ve all watched our waters degrade over the last 50 years,” Romaine said after the vote at a town board meeting held on June 9, 2016. “We all know part of the problem is nitrogen…the solutions to this problem are neither easy nor cheap. But doing nothing is not an option; we must act now. Our future depends on us addressing this problem.”

PJS library holds pet adoption event

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Adding to the typical Saturday docket of sleeping, eating and playing, a few furry locals headed to a Port Jefferson Station library in search of a new home.

For the third consecutive year, the Comsewogue Public Library, located at 170 Terryville Road, hosted a Pet Adoption Fair in the hopes of finding new homes for cats and dogs currently up for adoption through local organizations.

Save-A-Pet animal rescue in Port Jefferson Station, Last Chance Animal Rescue in Southampton, Patchogue Rotary Animal Assisted Therapy and Brookhaven Animal Rescue Alliance each sent representatives of the two-legged and four-legged variety to set up on the grounds of the library to meet prospective new families April 29.

“We really wanted to just bring the community together and just try to get some animals some homes,” Shelby Broderick, an adult services librarian at Comsewogue Public Library who helped to organize the event, said during an interview. “We thought that this was a perfect place since there’s always people coming and going, so we wanted to get some exposure for these animals and some therapy dog groups.”

Stephanie Winus of Save-A-Pet, a shelterbased as opposed to a foster-home-based rescue, said the shelter currently has about 15 dogs waiting for new “forever” homes.

“I like to do these events as a volunteer because I think it just gets the word out of what Save-A-Pet is, where it’s located, which is right in this neighborhood in Port Jeff Station, and also you get to see some of the dogs

Dogs up for adoption at Comsewogue Public library’s Pet Adoption Fair April 29 in person,” she said. “We’ve had dogs a year or two and eventually found the right home for them because the idea is to place them in a home where they’re going to be forever in, and not just place them to get them out of the facility so that more dogs come in.”

Andrea Allen, an event leader for Last Chance Animal Rescue, said the fosterbased shelter has about 40 animals currently up for adoption.

“It’s so important because it brings awareness to the community of our mission of saving the animals from the high kill shelters down south,” she said.

Broderick said finding homes for the animals brought to the fair is important, but events like these can play a larger role.

“I feel like even if there’s just one adoption it’s worth it just to host some groups and get exposure for them,” she said.

Rally in Port Jeff Station opposing Trump climate policies draws crowd

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Under sunny skies on a warm spring day, hundreds gathered at the corner of Nesconset Highway and Patchogue Road in Port Jefferson Station April 29 to make their voices heard in opposition of policies and promises from President Donald Trump (R) that reversed environmental protections.

On March 28, Trump signed an executive order to rescind actions taken by the Democratic Obama administration that sought to establish a climate action plan and reduce methane emissions. It also established a review to determine if the Clean Power Plan, another Obama administration policy designed to reduced carbon pollution from power plants, should remain in place. Trump’s budget blueprint for the 2017-18 fiscal year released in March included significant cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency, and he has also publicly stated his intention to consider withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, a United Nations convention on climate change.

He has said the goal in rolling back measures designed to protect the environment is to relieve the financial burden the measures create for American businesses.

The North Country Peace Group and Long Island Rising, two activist groups which have been quick to break out the poster board and markers to congregate and send a message to Trump and politicians who support his policies, organized a sister march of the People’s Climate March in Washington, D.C. The Port Jefferson Station march saw several hundred protesters, armed with signs and singing chants, line the streets to voice their opinions.

“I knew that the people’s climate march was happening and I wanted us to have a local event for Long Island, for Suffolk County,” Rosemary Maffei, a member of both activist groups and an organizer of the Port Jeff Sta-

tion march said in an interview during the event. “The reasons being, of course, I believe in climate change. I believe it’s happening and unfortunately we have someone in the White House right now who doesn’t believe in it. I think it’s important for us to come out in numbers and to show our representatives that this is an important topic for us, and that we want them to represent us and how we want them to vote.”

A press release advertising the event also stated the two groups’ intentions.

“The rally will be an event for our community to come together and voice our concerns about the policies this administration is enacting which will have devastating effects on our planet,” the statement said. “We rally for our planet because if we don’t stop the insanity who will?”

Other residents from the North Shore shed light on their reasons for attending.

“We protect ourselves in all sorts of ways for the future, and here we are allowing the future of our children and grandchildren to be so jeopardized,” John Robinson from Setauket said.

A Port Jefferson resident shared Robinson’s concerns.

“He’s undoing incredibly important legislation that was designed to save the environment,” Merle Neidell said of the president.

The New York State Assembly passed a package of bills April 24 ahead of Earth Day including a bill sponsored by Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) to establish a constitutional right to clean air, clean water and a healthful environment. Another bill requires crude oil storage facilities to demonstrate financial security to meet responsibilities associated with a possible spill or disaster.

“This is the kind of environmental leadership New Yorkers want to see more of,” Peter Iwanowicz, executive director of Environmental Advocates of New York said in a statement.

LIPA STUDY Continued from page A3 quent use. The village and district receive substantial amounts of revenue from property taxes because of the presence of the plant. The lawsuit alleges LIPA is breaching their contract, which runs until 2028.

The village has proposed that upgrading and repowering the plant with updated technology would be a fair compromise to allow them to continue receiving the same amount of revenue.

“A plant like this should really run about 80 percent of the time,” LIPA chief executive officer Thomas Falcone said in an interview.

“In the ‘90s they were running about 50 percent of the time. Right now Port Jeff is running 11 percent of the time, which basically implies it’s running in the summer … it’s not to say we’ll never build another power plant, it’s just to say that these aren’t the right power plants to build. You put in all of this investment optimized around a plant that is going to run 24 hours a day. If it doesn’t run 24 hours a day it’s a very, very expensive plant, which is the wrong kind of plant.”

Falcone added LIPA still needs the plant, and utilizing more peaker units, which are meant to supplement other energy sources and are only used in times of peak demand using gas or oil, would be a sensible way to utilize Port Jefferson going forward. He said LIPA’s goal is to reach an amicable solution for everyone involved.

“We’re a state-run utility. We’re a stateowned, community-owned utility,” he said.

“We find ourselves in a situation that is a real sticky wicket for everybody. The community obviously is entitled to compensation for hosting a power plant. On the flip side we have 1.1 million customers and I think only

NATIONAL

about 3,500 of those customers live in Port Jeff Village. So those other 1.1 million customers are also entitled to pay a fairer level of compensation and not an excessive one.”

Falcone and village Mayor Margot Garant both said settlement discussions are ongoing between the two sides, and Garant said a proposal was submitted to LIPA about 30 days ago.

Garant weighed in on the findings of the reports in a phone interview.

“We’re digesting these reports, we’re doing our homework and gathering data, and we don’t agree [with the findings of the report on the possibility of repowering],” she said. “Our concern is that report is driving a conclusion that they wanted to have instead of being objective.”

The Brattle Group issued a statement regarding the possibility of repowering.

“None of the plants are needed for reliability or economic purposes. For all the options the plant costs exceed their benefits for at least the next decade,” the statement said in part.

In March, Port Jefferson Village hosted two public hearings to allow residents to voice opinions on a petition issued by National Grid, another LIPA partner in delivering power to the island, to the New York State Public Service Commission asking for caps on peaker output to be lifted. Village residents and trustees contended at the time the move was a thinly-veiled effort to squash the hopes of repowering the steam unit.

Bob Foxen, chief executive officer of Global Common, LLC, was contracted by Port Jefferson Village to study the plausibility of a scaled-down plant that would utilize peakers and upgraded steam units at the current Port Jefferson site, a compromise that Falcone said he would be open to. Foxen’s study is ongoing.

Federal, local officials united against certain Trump tax reform

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Reforming the tax code was a major campaign promise from then candidate and now President Donald Trump (R), and if his recently released proposal becomes law, many New Yorkers may be unhappy.

The proposal includes eliminating state and local tax deductions.

New York is one of the states with the highest property taxes in the country, and residents depend on state and local tax deductions to give them relief when paying their annual federal taxes.

The administration released a onepage document outlining the 2017 plan for tax reform, which doesn’t go into much detail, reportedly on purpose because Trump still intends to maintain an open discussion on the issue.

Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle have come out against the part of Trump’s reform that includes eliminating deductions they say would hurt New York residents.

“Taking away or even reducing the state and local tax deductions would be brutally unfair and hit New York homeowners right between the eyes,” U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) said in a statement.

“This is the wrong thing to do if we are serious about helping to build and expand the middle class. Under President Trump’s plan, the top rate would come down, taxes that disproportionately affect the very wealthy would go away, while middle-class and working families would be denied

some of the most frequently-used deductions: the state and local tax deduction.

Trump’s plan includes massive tax cuts for the very wealthy, and crumbs — at best — for everyone else.”

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said tax reform is needed; however, he said he agreed the proposal would critically hurt New York residents.

“Our tax code is broken and desperately in need of repair,” he said in a statement.

“I am supportive of many aspects of the plan, including the reduction from seven tax brackets to three tax brackets and the repeal of the death tax. I am not supportive of eliminating state and local tax deductions. It’s imperative that our local residents aren’t subject to double and triple taxation and retain the ability to deduct local taxes and reduce their federal tax bill.

Maintaining this should be an important bipartisan priority for our entire region.”

Trump’s tax reform would create 10 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent tax brackets to categorize all Americans, maintain mortgage interest and charitable tax deductions, and eliminate the 3.8 percent tax instituted by former President Barack Obama (D) on investment income for high-income individuals to help pay for health care.

The one-page tax reform sheet from the Trump administration also included a brief outline on the process for this reform.

“Throughout the month of May, the Trump administration will hold listening sessions with stakeholders to receive their input and will continue working with the

House and the Senate to develop the details of a plan that provides massive tax relief, creates jobs and makes America more competitive — and can pass both chambers,” the document states.

Local leaders have voiced concern since last month about the possibility of homeowners losing deductions.

“I think it would have a disproportionate impact on Long Islanders,” Suffolk County Leg. William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) said in a phone interview. “I’m hoping it doesn’t pass.

It threatens the American dream.”

The Long Island Association Research Institute did a study on the effects eliminating deductions might have and said it

could cost Long Islander’s $4.4 billion. In a 2013 report, it found Long Island sends the federal government $23.1 billion more than it receives back in programs and services from the government, so taxpayers in all brackets would be impacted by cuts to deductions. The study said the middle class would be hit especially hard with tax increases, anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000 annually, and $3 billion would be taken away from the regional economy.

“If these proposals are given more structure and momentum it would be devastating for Long Island,” Matt Cohen, vice president of government affairs and communications for the LIA said in a phone interview.

New red light camera report stirs controversial reaction

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The results are in for the 2015 Red Light Safety Program Annual Report — the most recent report to date — but there are still questions to be asked. The report, released in April, showed in 2015 a total of $31 million in gross revenue was collected from the program for citations issued from the start of the program in 2010 but paid in 2015 — a drop of some $1.9 million from the previous year.

However, an entire section is missing on accident data, which in years past indicated how many accidents occurred from right angles, rear ends, accidents that involved injury, what intersections they occurred at and more.

“It’s a disgrace,” Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) said in a phone interview. “They say it’s coming — but they won’t even tell us who prepares the report.”

Trotta is not the only person to raise this concern.

Personal injury lawyer David Raimondo, based in Lake Grove, agreed not knowing what company prepares the report is a red flag. He has worked on several injury lawsuits having to do with red light camera intersections and has filed a Freedom of Information Law request to discover what company creates the current annual reports on the program. Just last month he called for a federal investigation into the program.

“We don’t know who makes the report, they [Suffolk County government] claim the data used is correct, but I’m challenging that right now because I don’t think their data is accurate,” he said.

The county executive’s office did not re-

spond to requests for comment. Every annual report has the Suffolk County seal on the cover as well as the seal of the county’s office of Traffic and Parking Violations Agency.

All services in maintaining, operating and managing the red light cameras are done by Xerox, a corporation that entered into a contract with Suffolk County. Xerox provides a monthly invoice to the county for contractual requirements, and according to the study was paid $9.4 million that year. But it’s still unclear which entity condenses the raw data and creates the annual reports.

Raimondo also took issue with an article from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety referenced in the 2015 report. “Red light cameras installed at intersections reduced the number of fatalities due to crashes at these intersections … there was a steep increase in fatalities at intersections that removed red light cameras,” the report stated.

The article also included data from 57 cities throughout the country between 1992 and 2014, comparing trends in fatal crash rates in those cities with trends in 33 cities that never had cameras.

The lawyer called the article “propaganda,” and said he has worked with many scientists and engineer experts who confirm red light camera programs do not reduce fatalities.

Another problem with the Suffolk County study, Raimondo said, is it does not include data on accidents involving bicyclists or pedestrians.

“Every single intersection with a camera and a crosswalk needs a report,” he said.

Red light cameras are placed in two types of intersections: New York State intersections, where a state road meets a state,

Legislator rob trotta is critical of the information missing from the newly released red light camera report.

county or town road; and non-state intersections, where a county road meets a county or town road. According to the report, intersections are chosen based on where the cameras would yield the highest safety result, but Raimondo doesn’t buy that.

“They’re putting them in areas with the highest volume of people who don’t want to go to court and can afford to pay the ticket,” he said. “They’re targeting middle class people. It’s a real racketeering operation, it’s enterprise corruption.”

Trotta echoed the sentiment.

“It’s a sham,” he said. “It’s the equivalent of a 63 percent tax increase on resident’s general fund tax, except this way the Suffolk County

executive can say he didn’t raise it — but in actuality he did and it’s absurd. He [Steve Bellone (D)] thinks the people of Suffolk County are idiots. It’s an insult to the residents.”

According to the report released last month analyzing the 2015 data, 352,472 red light camera fines were paid in 2015, including payments immediately after first notice of a ticket and court-related fines. This has led to more than $17.6 million in gross fine revenues for the year ($19 million in 2014 on 380,809 fines paid). These fines and fees are deposited directly into a Suffolk County comptroller’s account, according to the report.

Some areas across Suffolk County saw more red light camera incidents recorded and tickets issued in 2015, but others stayed at a steady rate or saw a decrease.

The study details how many incidents a red light camera intersection tracks in a certain year, as well as how many tickets are issued from those incidents.

In 2015 in Huntington Station on Oakwood Road, a huge 73,217 red light camera incidents were noted, with 3,741 tickets issued, compared to 9,773 incidents noted and 602 tickets issued in 2014. Lake Grove had 86,343 incidents with 4,636 tickets issued in 2014, and the next year that number jumped to 106,145 incidents yet saw a drop in tickets to 4,435. In East Setauket on Route 347, more than 1,000 incidents were recorded than the prior year at 37,594, however 45 fewer tickets were issued at 1,838. On Miller Place Road, 117,016 incidents were recorded in 2014, with 7,055 tickets issued, and in 2015 there was a drop in incidents tracked at 113,915, with 6,088 tickets issued.

Letters to the editor

Port Jeff residents voting for Garant in June I am writing to express my satisfaction with the budget recently passed by the Village of Port Jefferson for the upcoming year starting in June.

I know that to most people this is not as interesting a topic as a letter complaining about government gone wrong. But sometimes we need to pay attention when a responsible mayor and trustees do the right thing.

Knowing that this community faces uncertain times regarding the revenue from the power plant, this village government has consistently stayed within the tax cap and for the last two years has kept the budget flat.

At the same time, they have continued to pave roads, build sidewalks, restore East Beach, renovate the country club, build

County Executive Steve Bellone speaks during a town hall meeting in Port Jefferson.

County and town taking steps to monitor water quality Last week Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) was in Port Jefferson, for the first of three scheduled town hall meetings to inform residents about a proposed septic improvement program.

If passed, the program would allow 400 Suffolk County homeowners the opportunity to receive grants and low-cost loans for the replacement of wastewater treatment systems in their homes. The systems cost between $14,500 and $17,500 in total, and monies made available by the program would cover up to $11,000.

Nitrogen from outdated septic systems and cesspools has been wreaking havoc on Long Island’s waters for years. It has done damage to both the quality of our waters and the inhabitants. We commend the county executive for bringing forward this plan, which would help improve our environment.

In addition, Brookhaven’s Town Board passed an amendment last week to their 2016 nitrogen protection zone law, which allows the board to adjust the former limit of 19 milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water from septic systems or cesspools immediately upon the release of new technology that makes lower standards possible.

Our editorial staff is thrilled to see two municipalities taking the initiative to proactively monitor the quality of our waters in the hopes of reversing some disturbing recent trends. We hope the legislature will approve Bellone’s program, and when the time comes, we encourage homeowners to apply for the grants. The second informational town hall will be held May 8 at the Huntington Public Library’s main branch at 7 p.m., and the third will be at the Middle Country Library’s Centereach branch May 12 at 7:30 p.m.

the Baker’s Alley stairs, upgrade parking lots, and maintain a level of services such as leaf and branch pickup, before- and afterschool enrichment programs and offerings in the arts, music, and athletics, which few other communities can match.

In my humble opinion this is the result of careful planning, management of day-to-day village spending, and judicious use of grants to cut the cost of infrastructure projects in half in most cases.

Mayor Garant and the Board of Trustees should be commended for their careful and forwardlooking stewardship.

School district warns parents about Netflix show The support staff at Port Jefferson School District would like to make you aware of the recent release of the Netflix series, “13 Reasons Why” based on a 2007 young adult novel. The content of this series raises serious concerns, portrays traumatic matters and romanticizes suicide. While this is a TV drama and not real life, the subject matters are in fact relevant and real to our youth.

The series graphically depicts a suicide death and numerous difficult topics such as bullying, rape, drunk driving, drug use, alcoholism, sexual assault and the consequences of being a bystander. The scenes throughout each episode may be extremely difficult for the teenage mind to watch and process in an appropriate manner without the support of a trusted adult.

We do not recommend that vulnerable youth, especially those who have experienced a degree of suicidal ideation, view this series. The content can be triggering and may lead impressionable viewers to idealize the choices made by characters in the story. The main character places blame on others for her suicide. Suicide is never the fault of survivors and there are

resources and support groups for suicide loss survivors. It is recommended that if your child has viewed or is planning to view this series, engaging them in thoughtful discussions would assist in helping them to process the intense issues. This also allows the message to be reinforced that suicide is not a solution to problems and that there are resources available.

Please find out if your child has read the book, or watched or heard of the series. If they have, see some suggestions below for engaging them in thoughtful conversations.

Remind your child that there is no problem too great to be handled. Have an open and honest conversation about emotional issues and suicide. Talking about these issues with your child does not put them at an increased risk; rather it assures them of your love and support.

It is important to express to your child that there is no single cause of suicide. Suicide is not a common response to life’s challenges. Most individuals struggling with some of the matters addressed in the book/series do seek support by reaching out and talking to a friend, family member, counselor, etc. Suicide

affects everyone and everyone can do something to help.

The character in the series was experiencing untreated mental health concerns. It is important to note that there are many treatment options available. Remind your child that there is always someone who will listen.

If your child hears, sees or feels anything in this regard, ask them to reach out to someone.

If you yourself are concerned about someone, don’t hesitate to ask them about it or tell someone who can help.

Thank you for your attention to this very important topic. If you have any further questions or concerns or would like more information and support, please contact any of our support staff.

OpiniOn Cursing our self-inflicted wounds

T

here’s a part of us that wants to shed the limitations of civilization. What difference do all those arbitrary lines in society make anyway?

Say, for example, we’re standing in a grocery store and the line isn’t moving quickly enough. Then again, what line could possibly move at a speed we’d find acceptable? We look at our phones to distract us.

We can watch

By Daniel Dunaief movies we’ve seen a hundred times, check our voicemail, email, messaging service and telepathic connections, if we’ve got the right app.

The phone doesn’t offer much relief, as our boss has sent us an instant message that reads, “If

D. None of the above

you don’t bring those cupcakes back within three minutes, you will be on cupcake duty for the next six months.”

It’s our fault. We saw that lane six was probably longer than lane seven, but we picked six because we saw a headline in a magazine about Julia Roberts and we wanted to read the other headlines in a magazine that was out of stock in lane seven.

Lane six is at a complete stop as the cashier waits for the override.

“Come on!” we want to scream.

“We gotta deliver these cupcakes before we lose our job!”

But we don’t scream any curse words, despite an impulse that is working its way up our spinal column. Another urge hits us. We want to jump on the conveyor belt and dance to “Cotton Eye Joe,” while kicking away the other groceries.

But we don’t do that, either.

We hold back because everyone has a camera, and we don’t want to be the supermarket dancer on YouTube forever.

We consider convincing ourselves that our venting might become a way to contribute to society. Maybe other people waiting in line somewhere can laugh at us, as we act out their frustration fantasies.

But, no, we’d have a hard time going to PTA meetings or running for office if our opponent could show we didn’t have the temperament to be a leader.

We keep our composure. It’s just cupcakes, right? Then again, we still have to do our work and this means we’ll be home later than we wanted and we won’t get a parking spot near the gym tonight, which means we might have to walk an extra quarter of a mile before we run 6 miles. It’s so unfair!

Curses are echoing around our brain. We grind our teeth, tap our feet, shake our head slowly and blow our bangs off our overheated and thickly lined forehead.

We hear the words, “Come on, come on, come on,” in our head, but no one else seems to care about our agony. Oh, great, now we have to

go to the bathroom, which will be difficult because as soon as we get back to the office we are serving the cupcakes at the party.

Don’t think about the need for the toilet. Oh, right, sure, that’s worked so well in the past. Why hadn’t we thought about that around, say, tax season? Sure, if you don’t think about it, taxes will just go away.

Then the curse words slipped out. We shouted them. We look around, wondering if we’ve damaged our reputation. This can be the smallest town on the planet. No one is holding a cellphone in our direction. No one seems to be waiting for us to do it again. Everyone does, however, take a step back from us.

We breathe a sigh of relief until it hits us: Two rows away is an overheated mother with three children holding onto her shopping cart. One of them — he looks like he’s about 6 years old — is staring at us without blinking. Maybe crossing that line was a mistake, as shame has replaced anger.

advertising from the retail shops along Main Street, USA. No longer is that the secure source of our revenue.

And why? Because the nature of shopping has changed.

Catalogs presaged the change many years ago. Busy residents could scan catalogs from different stores, pick out the items they needed or thought they needed, call a store’s 800 number and receive delivery a few days later. It wasn’t necessary to bestir oneself from the living room sofa and go out to see the product. If, when it arrived, it didn’t fit or wasn’t the right color, we could send it back, often postage paid. I used to joke that they should put a try-on room in the post office.

Then came the internet, and more specifically, Amazon. No longer do we have the inconvenience of searching through multiple catalogues. We can now indicate what we want and select from among many manufacturers the precise item we seek. Further, that item may appear at our door within 24 hours, or even the same afternoon for a slightly higher fee. Amazon has become the entire world’s bazaar.

Sometimes people venture out to a

store to get a three-dimensional look at the desired goods. Yet often they then retreat to their cellphones and order the same item for less money over the internet. E-commerce is king.

This sea change in shopping has been happening gradually but now is moving at an accelerating pace. At least that is what a recent article, “Is American Retail at a Historic Tipping Point?”

by Michael Corkery, in The New York Times tells us: “Between 2010 and 2014, e-commerce grew by an average of $30 billion annually. Over the past three years, average annual growth has increased to $40 billion.” The Times article continues, “This transformation is hollowing out suburban shopping malls, bankrupting longtime brands and leading to staggering job losses.” It has also shaken the money tree of daily and weekly newspapers, as evidenced by the fewer number of pages and hence news stories that newspapers can afford to publish. But we papers are only collateral damage.

“More workers in general merchandise stores have been laid off since October, about 89,000 Americans.

That is more than all of the people employed in the United States coal

industry, which President Trump championed during the campaign as a prime example of the workers who have been left behind in the economic recovery,” according to The Times.

One out of 10 people works in retail, and the consequences of their being unemployed are as upending for society as the loss of jobs for manufacturing workers has been.

We are talking about the disappearing middle class here, folks. The small-store owners and their workers are losing their livelihoods. Shopping malls, with the exception of a luxurious few, are emptying out, and their sales staffs are being laid off. The great irony of Amazon now experimenting with brick-and-mortar stores will hardly replace the thousands of workers cut loose, and robots largely operate their fulfillment centers in huge warehouses.

There is a brilliant little business book by Spencer Johnson called, “Who Moved My Cheese?” which summarizes the current condition in first-grader detail. Retail life as we knew it, in this case the old cheese, is elsewhere. To survive in business now requires innovation, retraining and finding the location of new cheese.

Choppy waters in retail sea change

T

here was confirmation for what I have been saying over the past couple of years. Shopping has changed. Now I have never been a particularly astute shopper. When I need something, I go into the closest appropriate store and buy the item. The only time I enjoy shopping, for the most part, is when I am on vacation and feel I have the leisure to browse. Especially if I am in counBy Leah S. Dunaief atry,foreign shops are a place where the clerk probably speaks English and will be inclined to chat, hoping for a sale.

That way I learn about the place I am visiting and also perhaps see unusual products that may tempt me.

That said, I know something about shopping because of the newspaper business. The traditional backbone of the community newspaper has been
