Comsewogue school district budget

Comsewogue school district representatives said they focused on keeping increases low while dealing with a decrease in school enrollment. The Comsewogue Union Free School District has proposed a $93,974,755 budget for the 201920 school year, an increase of $2,027,025 from last year. Included in the budget is a proposed tax levy, the amount of money the district raises from taxes, of $57,279,755, a 2 percent increase of $1,140,786, below this year’s tax levy cap of 3 percent. One of the main foci of the budget was for child mental health awareness. “Everybody we met with, everyone was in agreement, students’ mental health and well-be-

ing — it was important to put more money into the budget for social and emotional learning and mental health issues,” assistant superintendent Susan Casali said. One increase came in the form of pupil personnel services from $3,322,061 to $3,678,447. PPL aids students with special needs. While the district experienced a total enrollment decline of 40 students, the number of students with special needs has increased, according to the assistant superintendent, and each of those young people is more expensive overall than a typical student. In addition, the district is hiring one additional social worker and a new social worker teacher’s assistant. “That’s why you don’t see the budget going down — there are students that cost us a lot more money,” Casali said. Other major increases include a 27 percent and $696,209 increase in debt services, but this is offset slightly by a $570,000 or 33 percent decrease in interfund transfers. In terms of state aid, the district received a moderate increase from $31,800,000 to $32,700,000. In addition to the budget vote, the district is asking residents to vote on proposition 2, which would establish a capital reserve fund. This allows Comsewogue to set aside money for future capital projects, when it will require district residents again to take money out of the reserve. Casali said this is funded through unallocated funds the district has by the end of the year, and the fund does not increase taxes. In the meantime, the district is going ahead with the first phase of its bond project; bids were

scheduled to go out to companies in April. District voters approved the $32 million bond last year, which the district said would go up in several phases. The first phase, costing about $5.8 million, will complete work on the parking lots at the Boyle Road Elementary School and the Terryville Elementary School, along with the creation of security vestibules in all school buildings and adding new locks to doors throughout the high school building. The district is lauding its Moody’s bond rating of AA2, and expects to have to keep up on payments for the next three years in order to maintain that rating. Comsewogue will host its budget hearing May 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the district office board room. The budget vote will take place May 21, in Comsewogue High School from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Comsewogue trustees

Two seats are up for Comsewogue’s school board, and both remain uncontested.

Robert DeStefano

Current trustee Robert DeStefano is looking forward to continuing along with the board, all the while continuing on without longtime superintendent Joe Rella at the helm of the district. The trustee said he is “born and raised,” in the Comsewogue school district, and has lived in the district for more than 40 years. He is finishing his ninth year on the board

and is looking for his fourth term on the board. “It’s a special place to be, it’s a special place to grow up, it’s a wonderful place to raise a family, and I’m just proud to serve the community,” he said. With the outgoing Rella and incoming superintendent Jennifer Quinn, DeStefano said he expects it to be a smooth transition. “As a student of his, and having worked with him, it’s been a wonderful experience,” he said. “Dr. Quinn’s been in this district for so much of the same time, and her accomplishments in the district speak for themselves.” DeStefano has two kids enrolled in the district and holds degrees in business marketing and business management from New York University Stern School of Business and holds a master’s of business administration degree from Long Island University. He currently works as a product marketing manager at IT company ivanti. He said he is looking forward to finally beginning work with the $32 million bond proposal, which was passed by residents in a 2018 vote. This summer the bond will begin to address parking lots in the two elementary schools and will improve athletic fields and address other exterior building infrastructure. “It will allow us to make investments in the district in a variety of ways, in a very fiscally responsible way in the next several years,” he said. He said he sees the new budget as fiscally responsible, with the tax levy rise a full percentage point lower than the cap. He said it is especially important, because as he sees it, the economy will

I don’t have a crystal ball to say how bad the next one will be, but I know there is going to be one, you don’t need a crystal ball to tell that.” Continuing disagreement with New York State over Common Core, DeStefano said he wished there could be more direct dialogue with leadership in Albany. While he appreciated the efforts of representatives like New York State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), he said the district will continue to respect parents’ decisions to opt out.

Francisca Alabau-Blatter

Trustee Francisca Alabau-Blatter is running again unopposed for her seat on the school board. Alabau-Blatter did not respond to requests for comment. Originally from Spain, she moved to Long Island at 13 years old. She has three kids in Comsewogue and teaches Spanish in the Central Islip school district. She holds a bachelor’s degree in art education and a master’s degree in computer graphics.

Port Jefferson trustees

Two seats are currently up for vote in the Port Jefferson School District, and with two incumbents running again for their positions, two newcomers are also hoping to offer their services to the school board.

Ryan Biedenkapp

Ryan Biedenkapp came onto the board last year after Adam DeWitt, then elected to his third term, resigned in August 2018. The then-board voted 4-1 to bring Biedenkapp onto the board after he ran for it in May that year, and now he is seeking a full term in his current seat. A nine-year resident of Port Jefferson, the

candidate said he has three kids enrolled in the district, a 15-year-old and two 13-year-olds. His son, Parker, has autism. He currently works in the biotech industry in the sales department for biopharmaceutical company AbbVie. With having kids of differing ages and experiences, Biedenkapp said he’s able to keep in mind the many young people in the district, from those on sports teams to those with special needs. “I think having somebody with a broad range of knowledge of what’s offered — what’s available, what’s good, what’s working, what’s not, what do we have that we’re really proud of that we want to keep, what do we think we need to do a little better with,” he said. Biedenkapp said he, along with the rest of the board, was active and engaged in this year’s search for a superintendent to replace Paul Casciano, who will now be leaving in October. “You have to drop your ego, and you have to look for a compromise,” he said. “If you can come at it with a logical, rational act, always placing quality education for your children as true north, then you can come up with some really good decisions.” While the trustee pointed to the board’s work on the current budget as fiscally sound, he said that with the downvote of the 2017 bond referendum, there needs to be a significant look into school’s infrastructure. In the wake of the settlement between the Town of Brookhaven and Long Island Power Authority, which will reduce its tax payments to the district over time by 50 percent, the board has had discussions about consolidating or removing school programs with low enrollment. Biedenkapp said it will be a hard decision process going into the future, there are some classes with low turnout that still require a full state-certified teacher to be present. “When you look at it down at a micro level, it shows were not doing the best we can for all our students,” he said. He added it’s important the board show their support toward teachers, especially when it comes to Common Core testing or mandated tests that the board has had discussions of recently.

what’s best for the community.”

Ellen Boehm, a 26-year resident of Port Jefferson and graduate of Port Jefferson High School, said she is running again for her seven-year seat to help the district deal with issues such as the outcome of the LIPA settlement. “In consideration of what’s finally been resolved with the LIPA issue, that we have a glide path, as a district and community we have to identify what we want to keep or strengthen in programs, and what’s really not important to us,” Boehm said. “We have an exceptional education program. As a community we have to decide what we have to spend money on when things get tight, and perhaps they won’t get tight … we have to have some very candid conversations.” The candidate said she has agreed with the incoming superintendent Jessica Schmettan, who said she hopes to resurrect the budget advisory committee, allowing residents to sit down and discuss what will and what won’t be cut in future budgets. She said there are residents who need to be able to talk about the school budget who might be retired or not have students within the school district. She said the district will also need to pay attention to the infrastructure of its schools and grounds and pay attention to what may need to get fixed in the future. “We all have different interests, and we all need to work together to see that we have a great, stable school,” she said. Both her daughters are graduates of the school district. She said the strengths of the school district are its diverse and in-depth education programs and its wide base of extracurricular activities. “We don’t have a lot of wasted spending in the budget,” she said. “The past boards have been pretty fiscally responsible.” She added the current board works well together, and whenever there is disagreement, it is always handled professionally and openly. “There’s many times we don’t all come from the same thought process, and the open exchange of ideas and the conversations we have are great,” she said. “It’s not a board that spends time fighting. We all have that common interest to do

Randi DeWitt

Randi DeWitt, 43, said she grew up in Port Jefferson, and while she moved away first for college and later for work, it was its quaint setting that drew her back home, where she has now lived for close to 40 years. She now has two kids in the school district, one in eighth grade, and the other in ninth grade, and she said she felt it was time to run for school board now that her kids are a little more independent. “It’s a great way to volunteer and to give back to my community,” she said. “I grew up in a family that always encouraged community service.” The trustee candidate has been a teacher for several years at Mount Sinai Elementary School, teaching first-graders. She has been the designated inclusion teacher in the district for several years and teaches both typical students and students with special needs. She said that her education experience, along with having attended schools in Port Jefferson from kindergarten through 12th grade, gives her insight in what needs to be done for the district, especially in terms of the ongoing budget changes the district will experience due to the fallout from the LIPA settlement. “It gives me some insight and vision for the school district,” she said. “Ultimately I would love to preserve the programs we currently have, while also managing and realizing these fiscal challenges that are going to lie ahead due to LIPA.” While the district has had discussions about the need to either consolidate or cut programs with low enrollment to stay under budget, DeWitt said while she would love to preserve as many programs as possible, she would like to be there to help determine that important programs don’t get slashed. “Being a teacher, and having the best interest of Port Jefferson, I would hope any board member running for school board has the needs of the students who attend the schools at heart,” she said. “I would like to be part of that decision-making process.” TRUSTEES CONTINUED ON A6

general legislation that would affect gas-powered leaf blowers within the entire town. She pointed to the town of North Hempstead, which passed a law in January this year banning the use of gas-powered leaf blowers from June 15 to Sept. 15. The councilwoman said she wants to bring landscaping associations and other advocacy groups to the table. “I don’t want to do something that impacts the landscapers that’s negative,” Cartright said. “I do want to bring them to the table to talk about how we can be a little more environmentally friendly.” The new ordinance requires a budget transfer of $10,000 for the new equipment, which mostly comes in the form of electric leaf blowers. Other parks included are Miller Avenue Park in Shoreham, the Gary Adler Park in Centereach and the Pamela and Iroquois parks in Selden. All councilors on the board cosponsored the bill with parks from their individual areas. Cartright said she receives constant notice from residents complaining about landscapers using loud equipment not just in town-owned parks, but at all times in the day on people’s property. “We have constituents calling every other day telling us they’re in violation of our noise code, and that we need to do something about it,” Cartright said. When it comes to choosing a landscaper, the Democratic councilwoman said there is no one person helping to show which landscapers try to use electric equipment. “If I wanted to pick a landscaper that used only electric, we don’t know who that is,” she said.

Obituary Keith DeVeau

Keith DeVeau, a lifelong resident of Port Jefferson, died April 8 in Mather Hospital, the same hospital he was born in just 70 years ago. DeVeau is survived by his wife of 41 years, Susan; his children Kathryn Lieu and Matthew DeVeau; grandson Charles Lieu and his sister Barbara Slingerland. The family said they will miss his voice over holiday meals, over the phone during long rides home, and every day when news is shared and plans are made. They said they will miss him when they see a NASCAR race, a muscle car and especially red Corvettes, his laugh when watching old British comedy and when

Mia Farina

Mia Farina, a seven-year Port Jeff resident, is throwing her hat in the ring for the second year in a row, saying she could bring a fresh perspective on school security. Farina has lived in Port Jefferson for seven years, having spent two years in itself trying to find a place to live in the village, saying it was the locally renowned school district that spawned her desire to help raise her now 7-year-old son. She said her main concern is giving the community a voice on the school board and getting them more involved. “Everyone talks budget, budget, but my concern is — are the children being lost because we talk about budget every meeting,” she said. The candidate has spent 21 years in law enforcement, and currently works as a detective for the New York City Police Department. She said there are several things the district can do to en-

hance the security of its buildings. While emphasis in Port Jefferson, and many other surrounding districts, has been put on security vestibules and identification card systems, she said she would hope to emphasize teaching kids to notice problem signs and teaching them about warning signs and what to do in an emergency situation. She said it can be taught in a fun and engaging way. “Kids are already inside the school, and the vestibule isn’t going to help protect those kids that are already inside the school,” Farina said. “I would like to implement more hands-on with the children, so that they can notice things, without scaring them … It’s being proactive instead of reactive.” While Farina admitted she is not as adept with finances as other members of the board, she said the effect of LIPA, and the talk about cutting certain classes or programming, has her concerned. If current students enjoy certain classes, she said, it should only be fair that children like her 7-year-old should get that same opportunity down the road. “My concern is keeping programs or helping keep from cutting programs when things come down to the wire,” she said. “I would like to sit down, you tell me what the budget is, and let us find ways to keep things, combine things together, or get grants or assistance from other school districts you can share … I need to know that there are other things being looked at.”

reminiscing with his many cousins over childhood antics. They said they will miss his stories of boating, fishing, traveling and his history lessons about old Port Jeff and his family’s ties to early Long Island. They will miss asking for his advice, opinion and knowledge; the moments when a past friend would walk up to him and start chatting about when he worked at USAir or Lilco or security at Port Jeff High School. And they will miss him whenever they hear the phrase, “Mr. Mom” and recall the years he spent home when Matt and Katie were young. He loved and was loved and will always be remembered.

Centereach man allegedly used dummy as passenger on the LIE One man’s passenger on the Long Island Expressway was looking a little deflated, police said. Suffolk County Police issued a Centereach man a ticket after he was pulled over for driving with a phony passenger in the HOV lane on the Long Island Expressway in Dix Hills May 6. Highway Patrol Officer Andrew Spina was traveling on the Long Island Expressway, near exit 51, when he became suspi-

cious of the front seat passenger in a 2002 Saturn sedan traveling in the HOV lane. Officer Spina pulled over the vehicle and observed that the driver, James Britt, had placed a mannequin wearing a sweatshirt, sunglasses, hat and jeans into the front passenger seat in an attempt to resemble a person. Britt, 34, was issued a summons for the HOV occupancy violations.

Royals down Clippers 13-1 in five innings BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After trailing by a run in the opening inning, Port Jefferson’s softball team had to be patient at the plate and let the game come to them in a league VI matchup notching a 13-1 victory over visiting Southold/Greenport May 6. It was a must win game for the Royals, who must also win the final game of the regular season to make the playoffs. Port Jeff’s Abby Rolfe, the freshman pitcher, was the spark for the Royals going four for four at the plate, scoring three times with three RBIs, as well as winning from the circle. The victory propels the Royals to 6-7 in league and will lead them to face Mattituck for their final game of the regular season at home May 8. First pitch is at 4:15 p.m. Photos clockwise from top left: Port Jeff senior Lia Desmond with a base hit; senior Chloe Andrianni slides home; sophomore Emily Brown arrives safely at third; shortstop Gabby Sanchez throws to first base; freshman Rolfe goes the distance from the circle; sophomore Evelyn Walker from behind the plate.

Letters to our mothers

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. It’s a time to celebrate the most important people in our lives, the women who made us who we are. As is tradition, the editorial staff at TBR News Media has written short letters so that our moms know we are thinking of them.

Kyle Barr — editor

My mom is scared of being apart from me. She is sad she will leave her house behind, the one she helped raise me in for over 20 years. Like many, they’re leaving because of Long Island’s high property taxes, and without the SALT deduction, it’s proved infeasible to remain. But still, to her, the house was the lodestone of her life for so many years. She decorated it with attention to detail, even dragging me to the attic to take down decorations for every New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Fourth of July and on and on until Christmas. Now she is leaving her temple behind, and I feel for her. She can’t bring everything. Things will have to be sold or given away, and as she struggles with a bad back, picking out the leaves from the bushes in the front yard (all despite my pleas to let me do it instead). I see the frown set into her face like a jagged crack in the pavement. Feel better, Mom. You may be away from me, but — hopefully — you won’t find a way from my words.

Rita J. Egan — editor

Mother’s Day brings with it a slew of memories. My mother and I have been through the best of times and the worst of times together, and that’s OK, because we are still here to tell our stories. There are the not so fun times to remember, such as walking around a Queens apartment wrapped in blankets to keep warm in the winter months because the landlady was too cheap to turn up the heat and tears shed over boys who didn’t deserve them during my younger years. But also, there are the memorable vacations, celebrating milestones and catching the concerts of both of our favorite celebrities from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons to New Kids on the Block. So cheers to memories of all types and happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

David Luces — reporter

She’s been there all my life. Someone I can always count on. She’s my role model. She sacrificed so much over the years for my brother and me so we could go to college, and it’s something I am grateful for every day. I don’t say it enough but thank you, Mom, for everything you do. I know I could be a pain when I was younger, but I’m thankful for the lessons you’ve taught me. As I’ve gotten older and matured, I’ve realized the importance of your messages. So, on this Mother’s Day, I just wanted to give my appreciation to the greatest mom and friend a kid could ask for.

Letters to the editor

Loucks is the right pick for village trustee As a resident of Port Jefferson for 42 years, I’m a strong advocate of “old school” traditional policies and practices in local government. Village elections give all residents the opportunity to participate and vote for their candidate. My vote goes to two-time incumbent village trustee, Stan Loucks. With his 35 years of experience as a high school athletic director, Stan is both knowledgeable and proficient in managing million dollar budgets. During his two terms as trustee, Stan has proven his fiduciary effectiveness by overseeing the renovation of the country club maintenance building while maintaining a strict annual budget, which operates the country club as a self-sustaining park entity for the village. Most people move to Port Jefferson for the quality of life afforded to residents in our beautiful, historic harborside village. Loucks, is the village

trustee, responsible for the country club, as well as the parks and recreation department. There are few in village government who have a more positive and direct impact on the quality of a resident’s village experience than Stan. Regardless of your station in life, be it a young parent, an established adult or a senior citizen, your quality of life is better with Stan as your trustee. Village recreation and country club programs serve the full spectrum of activities and age groups such as: • The country club offers all residents a premier golf and tennis country club experience at affordable rates. • Senior citizens have weekly lunches and can access numerous theater and garden trips. • Opportunities abound in PJ’s many pocket parks and scenic walkways for grandparents to create special grandchildren memories. • Family summer fun with fully

staffed beaches, weekly movies and music on the harbor — and ice skating with hot chocolate in the winter. • After school golf and tennis clinics, summer youth camp, soccer and basketball programs. • Children activities from Rocketship Park, little barn summer plays and lyrical music and movement classes. • Regularly scheduled Village Center fitness, yoga and Pilates classes, plus art, photo and garden-antique exhibits. • Dickens Festival holiday special events, in coordination with the chamber of commerce. Yes — color Stan Loucks an “old school” public servant and masterful administrator who earns your vote every day, with the quality of life he brings to all Port Jefferson residents. Vote Stan Loucks for village trustee on June 18. Jim White Port Jefferson

Anti-Semitism is spread by both parties I am 78, and I have never seen the level of anti-Semitism we are witnessing today. This comes out of a context in which President Donald Trump (R) and my congressman, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), pander to anti-Semites. The Republican Party supports the president no matter what he does or says. They even oppose the most basic sensible gun control laws that would prevent murderers from having automatic weapons which are capable of murdering more people in less time. The Democratic Party waffles, and is fearful of forthrightly

condemning one of their own, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), who spouts anti-Semitism. I have not heard one word from the leader of any Jewish organization saying the emperor has no clothes. Our president has created and panders to an atmosphere in our country that gives a green light to anti-Semites. Where are our leaders? Some Jewish groups even sell out to the president under the claim of supporting Israel because he allows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do whatever he

finds politically expedient to do. This does Israel no favors. So far, our leadership both in the political and Jewish realms have proven themselves to be bankrupt. Will they speak out or will our country continue to spiral down into a situation where more and more Jews are murdered. None of this minimizes the serious pain caused by racism and Islamophobia. That, too, is part of the current atmosphere. Adam Fisher Port Jefferson Station

Airwaves not dominated by Democrats I will respond to an April 11 letter by Michael Meltzer to the editor, “Agenda to overthrow Trump is backfiring,” by saying freedom of the press is the basis of any free democratic society, and it is good that we have a Fox News, CNN and MSNBC for us to choose from for “our news.” However, the letter likens the Democratic National Committee-

controlled media as “godless/ progressive/Stalinist” — all of which are falsehoods. The radio media is not controlled by the Democrats. Fox News and Sinclair Broadcast Group control much of the media. Then “the good news:” the so-called Democrats, also known as progressive “Jew-haters,” this is a

Trump perception. Racists, not true. Stalinists, not true. I ask myself where are the antitrust laws that did not allow such media consolidations — Fox News and Sinclair — that now dominate the airwaves? Herb Laub Stony Brook

The agony and ecstasy of Long Island life

f you ever move away from Long Island, you may find relief and a longing. The relief could take many forms. For starters, you may find a place with magnificent sidewalks that allows you to walk for miles without needing to step out into the road. Yes, there are such places, although they are mostly in urban environments, where you can watch people, D. None find restaurants and not just bars of the above that are open at all BY DANIEL DUNAIEF hours, and where you can shift from one ethnic neighborhood to another within a few blocks.

You may also find road relief, as people in other places may allow you to merge readily, may move at a different pace, and may smile and wave at you as you pass them while they are on their lawns, walking their dogs, throwing a ball with their daughters or sitting on a rocking chair on their front porches, appreciating the flow of human and avian traffic that passes by their houses. You also may not miss the delays at the airports or the train stations, as you wonder if you’ll make it to the job interview, the meeting, the wedding or the date on time when construction, lane closures, accidents, sun glare or road flooding slow everything around you to a stop or a crawl. You might also find yourself relieved that the delis — if you can find ones you like outside of Long Island — are much quieter, as people in other regions may not be as compelled to raise the decibel level in public to outcompete each other for stories or to place their turkey club orders. But, then, you might also find yourself missing some key ingredient of Long Island life. There are

plenty of landlocked places you can visit that have wonderful lakes, rivers and streams, but how many of them truly have Long Island’s magniﬁcent and varied beaches? You might miss sitting on a bluff in Port Jefferson and staring out at the harbor or looking through the channel into Long Island Sound. You might miss the chance to visit your favorite rocky beach on the North Shore, where you can walk slowly along, looking for the perfect skimming rocks, recalling the days decades ago when your grandfather taught you how to use surface tension to make a rock bounce its way far from shore. You might miss the toughness of feet so accustomed to the uneven rocks that you pause momentarily when you see someone struggling to navigate them, remembering that you once found these rocks hard to cross as well. You might miss the wonderful intertidal zone, which at low tide allows you to wander across rippled and water-cooled sand far from shore. You might also miss winter beaches, where

winds whip along the abandoned dunes and where, if a cold snap lasts long enough, you can see the top layer of water frozen as it heads toward shore. If you ever took advantage of the myriad cultural and scientiﬁc opportunities on Long Island, you might also miss spectacular performances at the Staller Center, lectures and symposia at Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory or Brookhaven National Laboratory. You might also miss the farms or vineyards on the East End, where you can admire the way rows of vines, trees or grass expand out from the road. You might also miss the secrets hidden beneath the surface of the water. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to snorkel at Flax Pond or at a beach, you know that magniﬁcent creatures — arthropods that live on yellow sponges and look like ancient creatures under a microscope — populate a completely different world that is within surprisingly easy reach.

Free your mind, be smarter and more creative ... maybe

any of us sit through meetings of one kind or another: business meetings, community meetings, even social gatherings. But did you know that the air we breathe in those closed spaces might not be so healthy for us? If you come out of such a gathering and the air around you then feels fresher and cooler, consider this: “Small rooms can build up heat and carbon dioxide from our breath to an extent that might surprise you.” So explained a recent Between article in the Sciyou and me ence Times section BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF of The New York Times. When we breathe, we exhale carbon dioxide. That gas,

which we might characterize as stale air in such a situation, can actually affect decision-making as a result of its impact on the mind. Some eight studies over the past seven years have considered the effects on cognitive function in small, airless rooms over a couple of hours. The results suggest that perhaps we should not entirely trust decisions made there. Carbon dioxide, when inhaled, dilates blood vessels in the brain and reduces activity among cerebral neurons, thus decreasing communication between brain regions. We know this to be true when a large amount of the gas is inhaled but we don’t know so much about the effect of smaller amounts. If student test results are compared in rooms with 600 parts per million (ppm) of CO2 and similar rooms with 2,500 ppm, the scores of the test takers with the high concentration are signiﬁcantly lower. It is interesting to note that carbon dioxide levels can be twice that high in some classrooms. Such studies were repeated in the workplace, with workers taking problem-solving and strategy tests, and the results were the same. In to-

day’s energy-sensitive world, many ofﬁce buildings are better sealed, with less fresh air seeping indoors. Another interesting fact was that not every type of test showed that same result. Less complex test material, like some proofreading, for example, did not show a comparable shift. So the next time you are in such a situation, open a window or keep the door ajar. Perhaps the intellectual level of the conversation will rise. Now here is another tip for better living that is also from The Times, although published a different day. For those of you who, like me, love to sit around sometimes and do nothing, here is exoneration from the charge of laziness in an otherwise busy world. The Times tells us that the Dutch call this “niksen.” What is doing nothing, exactly? A psychologist named Doreen Dodgen-Magee, who studies this matter, likens it to a car whose engine is running but isn’t going anywhere. It’s “coming to a moment with no plan other than just to be,” she writes. She calls that boredom, which she doesn’t intend in a negative way. But the idea of niksen is to take conscious

time to do activities like gazing out of a window or sitting motionless. I like that, although it ﬂies in the face of our always-be-productive American culture. According to some experts, “the beneﬁts of idleness can be wide-ranging.” Daydreaming, “an inevitable effect of idleness — literally makes us more creative, better at problem-solving, better at coming up with creative ideas,” according to Sandi Mann, a psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire in England, who has done research in this area. “Let the mind search for its own stimulation. That’s when you get the daydreaming and mind wandering, and that’s when you’re more likely to get the creativity,” she explained. It’s not easy to do nothing and certainly to do so and not feel guilty about it. We have to set time aside deliberately to disconnect — and not just from our devices. The reward is that we can refocus with more energy. I have a chair in my living room that I can sink into and just have my mind go blank. It’s even tempting to fall asleep there, and sometimes I do for a few minutes. Delightful!
