Town Meet Port Jefferson area school board candidates before May 16 election For voters in both the Port Jefferson and Comsewogue school districts, what’s old will be new again. Incumbent Adam DeWitt and newcomer David Keegan will be the only two names on the ballot May 16 for those living in the Port Jeff district with two seats open. Bob Ramus, a nine-year board member, announced earlier in 2017 he would not seek another term. Residents in Comsewogue will also see two names running for two open seats. The candidates are incumbents Ali Gordon and James Sanchez.

Port Jefferson School District

Adam DeWitt will be elected for his third term on the Port Jefferson board of education. He was first elected in 2013 on an interim basis, then won a seat during the 2014 to begin his first full term. The 42-year-old principal in the Longwood school district lives in Port Jefferson and has two children who attend the district. He said he initially decided to run four years ago because he was concerned at the possibility of the district losing a substantial

amount of revenue based on a legal battle with the Long Island Power Authority and the Port Jefferson Power Station, and is still committed to working on it. DeWitt praised his colleagues on the board for the environment he has seen develop during his time serving. “That’s another reason I want to continue to be on it … we created a system of efficiency and collaboration,” he said. He said one of the things that has happened during his time that he’s proud of playing a part in is the district’s updated rules on transgender students use of bathrooms and locker rooms as of April 2016. The new policy allowed students to identify in their records how they would like their gender to be identified. David Keegan, 47, has been an information and technology sales professional for the last 24 years. He is currently an area sales manager at Cisco Systems and a resident of Belle Terre. “As an avid reader of American History I have come to appreciate and understand the importance of civic responsibility and commitment to community,” he said in an email. “As a Port Jefferson community member and parent to two children in the district, I am keenly interested in helping to assure the district continues to strive to provide a world-class education for all of our children.” He also referenced the situation with LIPA as a deciding factor for his engagement with the school board, though there are other

things he said he hopes to help accomplish in his first term, like expansion of STEM opportunities for students.

Comsewogue School District

Ali Gordon began her time on the school board in 2011. She is begining her third term in 2017. Gordon currently works as a senior advocate for the Suffolk County Office for the Aging. The 45-year-old has lived in Port Jefferson Station since 1999 with her husband and three of her four children, two of which are still attending Comsewogue schools. Gordon said she originally ran for the position as an extension of her own advocacy and activism in local government. She spent several years in the PTA for Terryville Elementary School and even organized letter-writing campaigns for the district to address local issues in education with elected representatives. She shared why she decided to run again this time around. “I’m running again because Comsewogue has made incredible strides toward providing all of our students with a well-rounded, student-centered education, but there’s always more that can be done,” she said in an

email. “Within my next term I look forward to advocating for Comsewogue to secure permission from New York State to officially be part of the New York Performance Standards Consortium, and expanding opportunities for students to earn college credit during high school.” James Sanchez is the vice president of the Comsewogue board. He is 62 years old and has lived in the district for 27 years. He works at the Port Jefferson Ferry as a dock master. He was first elected to the board in 2011 and said his goal when he first decided to run was to do anything he could to foster high student achievement through optimum, responsible use of taxpayer funds. During his tenure he has served on the budget and finance, buildings, grounds and maintenance and board and district policies committees. Sanchez shared some of his goals for his upcoming third term in an email. “Developing a safe and secure school in which we have the mindfulness to protect all against bullying, harassment and discrimination is essential for providing a student friendly classroom,” he said. In this way we can create a safe and supportive school environment.”

Village

Port Jeff Country Club to be renamed to honor By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com A decade of hard work by a former mayor, and plenty of pavement-pounding by his two daughters, will result in a lasting memorial. The Port Jefferson Village board of trustees unanimously voted to approve a proposal brought forth by Lauren and Maddy Sheprow to rename the Port Jefferson Country Club at Harbor Hills after their father Hal Sheprow, who was elected mayor in 1977. “The Village of Port Jefferson wishes to memorialize Mayor Sheprow’s pivotal role in acquiring the Harbor Hills Country Club … positively impacting village property values and improving quality of life through his actions taken to acquire a recreational asset for current and future generations, by officially renaming the Port Jefferson Country Club at Harbor Hills to The Harold J. Sheprow Port Jefferson Country Club,” the resolution from a May 1 board meeting reads. During the meeting, Sheprow’s daughters made a presentation to the board which included the steps their father had taken to ultimately purchase the thenprivately owned golf course from Norman Winston, a real estate developer with properties around the world. In 1969, Sheprow was a village resident who wanted a private beach for himself and

That year, according to the Sheprows, the fee tripled, making it very difficult for working families to afford. That was his

first foray into local politics. In 1970, Sheprow joined the planning board and began looking into acquiring a beach for the village. He ran for mayor the next year, but was defeated. In 1974, he was elected to the board of trustees, and

eventually became mayor in 1977. In July he was sworn in, and in October Winston died. Throughout his time working for the village in various capacities, he never gave up his goal of securing a private beach for Port Jeff residents. After Winston’s death, according to the Sheprow daughters, the golf club fell into disrepair and became a blight on the vast Winston estate, which included the 128acre golf course and a mile and a half of beachfront property. Sheprow saw it as a perfect opportunity to achieve his nearly decade-long goal. “He didn’t want developers coming in and just reusing the land and building condominiums or whatever,” Maddy Sheprow said during the presentation. She said her father tried repeatedly to get a meeting with Morgan Stanley, the bank in charge of the Winston estate, but was unsuccessful. By February 1978, Sheprow had reached “his wit’s end,” according to his daughters. “My mom, Peggy Sheprow, had come to him and said, ‘Shep, we’re going to a party — it’s in New Jersey,’” Lauren Sheprow said. “And he said ‘I’m not going to any party. I’m trying to get this done and I can’t even think about anything else. I can’t entertain the idea of being entertained. I’m not going to a party.’ She said, ‘no, you’re coming. My cousin Dolly is having a party and we’re going.’” At the party, Sheprow was introduced

Hit-and-run File photo above; photo below from Joe rella

Comsewogue school District received Middle states accreditation after a rigorous two-year application process, thanks to the efforts of superintendent Joe rella, above, and others in the district. Below, the certificate Comsewogue received.

Comsewogue district receives prestigious accreditation By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com According to an organization that has been accrediting school districts for 125 years, Comsewogue is one of the best in the world. The district earned accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools, a worldwide leader in accreditation and continuous school improvement. The lengthy and rigorous process is a self-study that is then evaluated by volunteers from association-member schools during an approximately two-year period. With the distinction, Comsewogue became the only full district of public schools on Long Island recognized by the commission. “After spending a few days here, I was reminded of a country music song by Eddie Arnold that went something like this: ‘Welcome to my world, won’t you come on in,’” Pat Impreveduto, chair of the Middle States Validation team for Comsewogue’s application, said in a letter to the district breaking the good news. “The team has heard and observed evidence that this is a commonplace in your district. It is evident that staff collaboratively works hard to set this as the expected and not the exception.” To receive accreditation the district had to conduct self-evaluation in categories like aptitude for growth and improvement; mission, beliefs and profile of graduates; student performance data; district leadership, governance and organization; educational programs and resources; student services and student life; maintenance and operations; school district improvement planning and many more. After evidence of selfevaluation of all the categories was submitted, the commission’s volunteer team had no recommendations for ways to improve Comsewogue’s application, meaning they were well on their way to earning accreditation. About 2,700 schools worldwide have been granted Middle States accreditation. “It validates things we’re doing,” Superintendent Joe Rella said in an interview. Rella,

who has been in the district for 23 years, said he first had the idea to pursue the accreditation about 10 years ago, and added receiving the prestigious honor as a culmination of those efforts ranks at the top of his list of proudest accomplishments in education. Rella likened himself to a baseball manager who often gets credit for “home runs other people hit,” meaning receiving the distinction would not be possible without the other dedicated professionals working in the district. About 200 volunteers worked on the application. “It lifts up our community,” he said. “It’s going to be good for property values. It’s going to be good for just the sense of the community that they’re getting a good value for their dollar.” Rella added the value of receiving the affirmation that the district is as high quality and special as they always believed they were is invaluable and extremely gratifying. Accreditation is granted on a sevenyear basis, so the district now has a longterm plan for continued self-evaluation and improvement to ensure they have their application approved again in 2024. “We’re not a wealthy district — our community can kind of feel used and abused,” Rella said. “We want to get [word of the accreditation] to the realtors, because the realtors are still in the mindset that we’re the ugly stepchild. Maybe not — maybe we just got a little better looking.” The district plans to invite members from Middle States, elected officials and other members of the community to celebrate the achievement sometime in mid-June.

On Osborne Avenue in Mount Sinai March 30 at about 7 a.m., a 20-year-old woman from Port Jefferson Station driving a 2009 Nissan struck a pedestrian walking on the shoulder of the road, and failed to report the incident, according to police.

He said as recent as May 9, officers in the Suffolk County Police Department conducted an anti-bullying presentation to all grades at Joseph A.

According to his staff, the district’s efforts to find the student responsible were outlined, but ultimately the district, as well as police, believe “there is not enough evidence to take action.” It will, however, “continue to follow proper protocol and work with the family on this case.” “In alignment with our anti-harassment and code of conduct policies, proven instances of bullying are treated extremely seriously and age-appropriate discipline is put in place in response to such incidents,” Ring

According to the letter, “a thorough investigation has been undertaken to determine the source of these unacceptable symbols” and “as is our protocol ... the Suffolk County Police were notified and a report filed.” After this most recent incident, the school implemented the Second Step program in the classroom that deals with bullying and teasing.

He completed residencies in medicine and nutrition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a GI fellowship and postdoctoral research fellowship at Stanford University. He has been on the staff of the Northport VA and a member of the GI division at Stony Brook University since 1987. Bob had a wonderful combination of ironic, provocative humor and great kindness. He was always active — in tennis, gardening, biking, skiing, debating politics and economics and canoeing/ kayaking. He especially loved camping and fishing in the Adirondacks each summer. He had a long-standing passion for environmental conservation and would want any donations in his honor to go to the Adirondack Council or the Nature Conservancy. Above all, his time spent with his son Cameron, in moviemaking, fishing and especially baseball over many years were a source of greatest pride and happiness for Bob.

Jean M. Migatz

Jean, 93, of Port Jefferson Station died peacefully April 22. She was the

beloved wife of Melvin R. Migatz; loving mother to Joanne Downey (Daniel), Laurel Bailey and William Migatz (Cheryl); adored Nana to Stacey, Michael (Kelly), Mark, Todd (Amy), Matthew, Meaghan, 11 great-grandchildren and one greatgreat-grandchild. She was strong as steel when she had to be and as soft as a baby’s touch when needed. Her loyalty and unconditional love to her children, husband, family, friends and faith was second to none. After surviving a difficult childhood and early adulthood, her life changed when she met the love of her life, Melvin Migatz (Midge). She thanked God daily for bringing him into her life. Though her life was full with things that mattered, she once questioned what her purpose here on earth was. She felt that something was missing. Not too long after that she found St. Vincent de Paul and her existence became complete. Her strong faith and loving spirit rejoiced in helping others. Whether she was delivering bread, taking communion to those unable to attend Mass, or just visiting and listening to someone who needed company, she embraced it with her entire being. She found that her purpose in life was to give and care for others. We will miss her forever. If desired, donations can be made to Hope House Ministries or St. Vincent de Paul in her memory. Arrangements were entrusted to the Bryant Funeral Home of Setauket. Please visit www.bryantfh.com to sign the online guest book.

Zeldin votes ‘yes’ on health care bill, Suozzi votes ‘no’

The second attempt passes House, will head to Senate for further scrutiny By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com The battle to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare, was left in the hands of the House of Representatives for a vote last week, and two representatives for the North Shore had differing opinions on the bill. The American Health Care Act passed in the House by a slim 217 to 213 margin, though before it becomes law it must also pass the Senate and ultimately be signed by President Donald Trump (R). U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) for New York’s 1st Congressional District was among those in favor of the bill, fulfilling a campaign promise of his own and the vast majority of Republican lawmakers across the country since Obamacare was enacted in 2010. “Almost everyone agrees that our current system is deeply flawed,” Zeldin said in a statement. “The American Health Care Act provides relief from billions of dollars of crushing taxes and mandates enacted under the ACA. Additionally, the bill repeals the individual and employer mandates, taxes on prescription and overthe-counter medications, health insurance premiums and medical devices.” Zeldin also sought to dispel “outright lies” being perpetrated on social media and elsewhere about the new bill, the first incarnation of which he was slow to support unless important amendments were added, he said in March. One thing he specified as a misconception is the idea that people with pre-existing conditions might lose coverage, or that millions will be left uninsured. “The bill protects people with pre-existing conditions, and gives states greater flexibility to lower premiums and stabilize the insurance market,” he said. Critics of the bill have noted it was not subject to scrutiny by the Congressional Budget Office prior to the vote, and in the first version that nearly reached a vote in March, the CBO suggested about 24 million people were in danger of losing their coverage. An amendment to the bill the second time around introduced by U.S. Rep. Fred Upton (R-Michigan), would establish funds for a “high risk” pool, which would be used to provide coverage for people with pre-

existing conditions. “The high-risk pool plan is an attempt to cover up for another provision in the bill, via an amendment by New Jersey Rep. Tom MacArthur (R), that would allow states to easily waive protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions in the individual market if they experienced a gap in coverage,” according to the Center for American Progress, a nonpartisan policy institute. U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), of New York’s 3rd Congressional District, was among those critics. He voted against the bill. “I’m disappointed that House Republicans chose not to work with Democrats to create a common-sense bill,” Suozzi said in a statement. He also called on the Senate to disregard the legislation and focus on working toward a bipartisan solution. “It will result in skyrocketing premiums, higher out-of-pocket costs, a discriminatory age tax and will steal from Medicare,” he said. “And all of this was done without an updated Congressional Budget Office score to determine how much the new amendment to the bill will cost taxpayers.” Suozzi also addressed what it might mean for New Yorkers. “For New Yorkers, this legislation leaves 2.7 million people without proper access to health insurance,” he said. “$4.7 billion will be cut from our state’s Medicaid budget, putting seven million people who rely on Medicaid services and other important programs at risk. This is a bad bill for New Yorkers, plain and simple.” The bill establishes limits on federal funding for state Medicaid programs beginning in 2020. States that exceed the cap would be subjected to reduced federal funding in the following fiscal year, according to the summary of the bill. The most notable changes in the new health care plan compared to the existing one include an elimination of the individual mandate, which required all Americans to purchase health insurance or be subject to a fine — a sticking point for many Republicans on Obamacare; a cut of federal Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood for one year; adjusting tax credits based on age instead of income; and shifting Medicaid expansion set forth by Obamacare to the discretion of states instead of the federal government, among many others.

tom suozzi, above left, and lee Zeldin, above right voted along party lines regarding the second iteration of the American Health Care Act, legislation largely tied to President Donald trump, below. According to a map on the website of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization established to deliver health policy analysis to the public, issuing tax credits based on age instead of income will result in some lower income Americans paying more for coverage. “Generally, people who are older, lower income or live in highpremium areas receive less financial assistance under the AHCA,” analysis of the bill by the foundation said. “Additionally, older people would have higher starting premiums under the AHCA and would therefore pay higher premiums. Because younger people with higher incomes and living in lower-cost areas would receive more financial assistance and would have lower starting premiums on average, they would pay lower premiums on average.” Kevin Dahill, president and CEO of Suburban Hospital Alliance of New York State, an organization that represents the advocacy interests of Long Island health systems including St. Catherine of Siena in Smithtown, and John T. Mather Memorial and St. Charles hospitals in Port Jefferson, issued a statement regarding the House bill.

“The revised version of the AHCA passed by the House is not sound health reform,” he said. “About 70 percent of Medicaid spending in our state covers care for the elderly and disabled, including children. These people will still need care. And even more disheartening is the amendment to cut $2.3 billion in Medicaid funding by shifting the cost burden from the counties to the state. This amendment was advanced by [Republican] New York Congressmen [John] Faso and [Chris] Collins and it leaves a huge hole in New York’s budget. … Access to insurance is meaningless if premiums are unaffordable and the coverage is not comprehensive.” Gerard Brogan — Kevin Dahill Jr.,Dr. executive director at Huntington Hospital, said he would put the ACA and AHCA in the same category as flawed legislation during a phone interview. He also reiterated Dahill’s concerns that the changes put a large number of people at risk of losing their access to adequate care because of changes to Medicaid. “There are portions that are either not derived from sound assumptions or won’t accomplish what are the issue that we need to deal with,” he said.

‘The revised version of the AHCA passed by the House is not sound health reform. ... Access to insurance is meaningless if premiums are unaffordable and the coverage is not comprehensive.’

Royals reflect on innaugural girls’ lacrosse season By Bill landon The seed of there being a Port Jefferson girls’ lacrosse team was planted by former athletic director Deb Ferry and has began to grow with current leader Danielle Turner. According to head coach Allie Franklin, three seniors, who have been playing the sport since they were little, were the catalyst for this new varsity team. What’s impressive about the Royals, who are among five teams in Class D, is that they finished fourth this year, narrowly missing the postseason by one spot.

“You don’t see many [first-season] The significance of the history-making teams nowadays, so to know that you’re season showcased this year wasn’t’ lost part of the very first team, it’s an accom- on Alexa Wakefield, another senior who plishment,” said senior Clare O’Connor, helped kickstart the program. one of those three seniors who was also “It means a lot honestly — we started part of the two-time championship-win- with the PAL teams and we all stuck with ning soccer team. “And we do have some it,” she said. “And all of the younger girls very strong players.” are getting a lot better so in the next few Port Jefferson wrapped up its inaugural years we’ll have a solid team and I’m very season on the road May 9 against division excited about that.” powerhouse Bayport-Blue Point.

Letters to the editor

Mother knows best

Village board on LIPA claims regarding repowering

With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, our editorial staff wanted to take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the powerful mothers and grandmothers who have shaped our lives. Rita J. Egan: I think about unconditional love moms give, especially my own. I feel life is a little easier when you have a mother who doesn’t raise you with her own expectations as to how you should lead your life, but allows you to make your own choices based on what feels right.

Desirée Keegan: My mother is my rock. Growing up as one of two children of a single mother, I saw firsthand what hard work and sacrifice really are. She worked most hours of the day, yet made each moment with us memorable. Through bouncing from house to house — even living in a hotel for six months — my brother and I always had smiles on our faces. And she still finds a way to make me laugh. Since I was waist-high she’d spin me around the kitchen dancing to Michael Jackson or Luther Vandross, forever leading the way. I can always count on her, and I want her to know she can always count on me. Victoria Espinoza: The first thing that comes to mind when I think of my mom is how unapologetically genuine she is. She can laugh at herself when she tries — and fails — to keep up with the times, she knows she’ll cry at any sad scene and will never hold back her tears, and she doesn’t care how many people hear her talk to her dogs (a trait I’m guilty of as well). She has taught me that above all else, the only thing I need to be in this world is authentically me. Alex Petroski: My mom spent my entire childhood trying to make my life and the lives of my two brothers better than hers and her siblings’. When I was a teenager, she went back to school to finally dedicate a little time to fulfilling goals she had for her own life. Her day-to-day work ethic and drive, and her refusal to give in when things were toughest were not lost on me, and I’m a better person for it. And sorry to break it to you, she’s a better cook than your mom. Kevin Redding: My mom is my hero. She raised me on her own for the first six years of my life and, even though that couldn’t have been easy, my permanent memory of her in those days is her big bright smile and complete determination to make sure I was the happiest kid in the world. She is the strongest, funniest, coolest, sweetest, most kind-hearted, generous and encouraging person I’ve ever known. There’s never been anything I felt I couldn’t tell her and she has an unparalleled ability to turn any bad situation into a good one — anybody who’s ever crossed paths with her knows just how infectious her energy and optimism are. Not only does my mom brighten up a room, she fills it with song (“Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin being her favorite) and no-holds-barred dancing (A little mix of Napoleon Dynamite and Ed Grimley). She’s a hardcore vegan who loves and protects animals, she does everything she can to take care of the needy, can throw a baseball like nobody’s business, loves to garden, and is always there when I need her. I love ya, Mom. Don’t forget to call the mother figures in your life this weekend and thank them for all they do.

Reading the May 4 article in The Port Times Record “LIPA studies,” there are a few LIPA “facts” that need correcting. Although there may be enough power on Long Island, not repowering Port Jefferson with a clean, combined cycle, predominantly gas-powered plant ensures that the air quality on Long Island will be a lot dirtier than it has to be as we rely on peakers and antiquated base-load plants to support new, intermittent solar and wind, yet to be built. Additionally, our village has documented that repowering Port Jefferson saves all Long Island ratepayers $200 million per year (London Economics Study, Nov. 29, 2012). True: The village supports LIPA’s green energy initiatives, and has signed on to an environmentalist petition to support rooftop and parking lot solar — not solar farms that remove acres of forest. Long Island has a complete grid, though antiquated. Solar farms require an entirely separate yet parallel grid

still to be built that ratepayers — not solar “farmers” — pay for. Furthermore, how many billions of dollars will the rest of Long Island pay for wind energy for East Hampton and Southhampton towns’ exclusive use? LIPA does not seem to include the underground land infrastructure in its estimate of $1.9 billion for the intermittent wind farm’s total cost. What will ultimately be the new cost per kilowatt hour to all Long Island ratepayers who pay the highest or second highest rates in the country for the new 90 megawatt intermittent wind farm? Years ago, LIPA permitted KeySpan energy to shift $3 billion of revenue off Long Island to buy gas properties in New England. In the last contract negotiation, LIPA also allowed the transfer of the cost of cleaning up any site owned by National Grid from them to us — the ratepayers — the people that LIPA claim to represent. As a municipal agency, LIPA can’t go “bankrupt” — they simply pass all costs of failure to the ratepayers. What have LIPA’s investment

choices really done for Long Island ratepayers? The National Grid plant in Port Jefferson Harbor is a public resource ,which benefits all ratepayers. In good conscience how can LIPA permit National Grid to refuse to repower that plant and refuse to sell it? LIPA: Come to the table. We have documented how your current plan and terms would destroy our North Shore, Brookhaven Town and Suffolk County (Industrial Economic Report, Nov. 5, 2015). Former CEO of LIPA, Richard Kessel even stated LIPA “has totally failed at keeping costs down. ... LIPA is arrogant and has always been arrogant. The village has made concessions in negotiations with LIPA, but LIPA has been arrogant in its response and so there is no progress.” It’s time for progress that benefits all the ratepayers — it’s time to repower Port Jefferson.

TRITEC VP: Reserve judgment on Shipyard project Thank you to everyone who has written letters, signed up on our website and contacted us personally to express their thoughts about The Shipyard apartment project. For those skeptical about the scale and design, please try and reserve judgment. The Shipyard will be a vast improvement to the abandoned motel that had sat vacant and deteriorating on the property for years. The Shipyard was designed to comply with all applicable zoning and building codes. No variances were requested or granted for this project. The overall design utilizes the slope of the property, which was excavated to make room for the garage level. When completed, a beautifully landscaped lawn will be bermed up to conceal the parking below the building. The height of the building, 35 feet above the average finished grade, is harmonious with Danfords, The Barnum House apartments and other multi-

use, multiple-story buildings located in the village. The shape of the building breaks up long, monotonous hallways and offers variation in facade that reduces scale. The Shipyard’s design inspiration came from current and historic architecture throughout Port Jefferson along with suggestions from the planning board. The building meets or exceeds all applicable zoning setback requirements. In fact, the building is setback nearly 40 feet from the road, thus allowing for a heavily landscaped garden to enhance West Broadway and convey a less dominating presence for pedestrians and motorists. A natural stone wall, similar to the wall on the neighboring historic Drowned Meadow House, will accentuate the landscaping along the sidewalk. The portion of Mill Creek bisecting the site to the south will be beautified and restored, consistent with the village’s Mill Creek Watershed Management Plan.

Further, all stormwater runoff generated by impervious surfaces will be retained on-site and recharged to groundwater via an extensive on-site drainage system. The project will not have any adverse impacts on flooding and sea level rise. When completed, The Shipyard will be a significant improvement both financially and aesthetically. Residents of The Shipyard are projected to inject approximately $2.6 million in annual spending within the immediate area, directly benefiting local businesses. The abandoned Islander Boat Center and the shoddy Heritage Inn motel were eyesores to those entering the village from the west — magnates for crime and deteriorating property values. Kindly reserve judgment on the project until construction is completed. The Shipyard will be a beautiful enhancement to the village’s western gateway.

OpiniOn Celebrating the infectious exuberance of youth

hat keeps us young? Well, certainly eating healthy foods, exercising and sleeping are all on that list. But there’s something else that works, too. If you can, try hanging out with a group of younger people at a party, even if the music is loud and incomprehensible. At a recent party, I wasn’t sure what my daughter was saying, as I watched her sing By Daniel Dunaief every word with her eyes wide open and her hands fluttering at her sides like a butterfly’s wings. It’s as if both of my children have sped up the needle so fast on their speech that I suspect that what’s

D. None of the above

coming out of their mouths probably started out as distinct words at some point. I’m hoping that the message they are repeating isn’t something offensive or objectionable, like, “Environmental regulation is bad, so let’s put the fox in charge of the hens at the Environmental Protection Agency. Go fox, Go fox, Go fox.” No, wait, this isn’t about politics. A room full of children at the party, held by a family friend, made me think a bright scientist may one day figure out how to harness that energy, store it and release it at just the right time, either when someone needed to warm a house or a heart. The next generation seems to follow a simple formula: Why walk when you can run, skip or flip, why talk when you can shout and why stay on the ground when you can challenge gravity to hold you down? I recognize that loud parties filled with perplexing music may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The decibel level may damage hearing aids, destabilize pacemakers, or

rattle fillings or dentures. You don’t need to attend a kids party, especially if you weren’t invited to one, to share the exuberance of youth. Have you stopped your car on the way back along familiar routes to watch a T-ball baseball game, to listen to a chorus singing music you might know, or to watch a marching band trying to master John Philip Sousa while figuring out what yard line they’re supposed to be on when they reach the high notes? All that energy begets energy. I’ve heard people talk about how their children keep them young. Imagine multiplying that, even for a day or a few hours, by however many kids are celebrating the moment in a way that doesn’t get bogged down in blinking Blackberries, a pending deadline or a need to disappear into the immobile ether of the television. And if you’re fortunate enough, you can engage with some of the next generation in questions they raise about the world. Many of us

think we are pretty knowledgeable. That may be the case, until a child asks us a question we can’t answer. Of course, we could rush to the internet to find an answer we might soon forget, or we could try to inch our way to an answer or even revisit a question we hadn’t pondered in years. I’m sure teachers feel the same kinds of highs and lows that appear in so many other jobs. They have to discuss the Magna Carta year after year, or explain how the change in Y over the change in X represents the slope of a line. But, then, every once in a while, a student may ask a new question that brings the material to life and gives the teacher an opportunity to learn from the student. The best answers inevitably lead to the next best questions. Energy, insight, curiosity and joy don’t exist solely in the world of youth, but they are often easier to spot among a group of children whose joie de vivre lifts off at a party.

Surprise! Our parents are also people

n the eve of this year’s Mother’s Day, I have a question to ask you. Do you ever think of your parents as people? Sounds like an odd question, but I mean thinking about them in terms of the times they live through, their private satisfactions, their fears and phobias, the experiences that mold them and so forth. We know the facts they choose to tell us about their lives but By Leah S. Dunaief not their deepest thoughts and feelings. We can’t ever really know them, even though we grow up in their home. Most of us consider them as loving to us, making our lives comfortable, caring for us when we are sick, instructing us how to behave, making our favorite birthday dinners. But there is more to their existence than their interactions with us.

Between you and me

I sat down to try and picture myself in their shoes. I know that my father met my mother when he accompanied his older brother to the home of his brother’s fiancée for the first time. There, coming down the stairs in a red dress, was the sister of the fiancée, my mother. To hear my father tell it, he was struck instantly and forever by Cupid’s arrow. Although he was only 15, the sight of her took his breath away. So we know what my father was feeling, but how about her? Did she catch sight of him and feel the same overpowering love at first sight? Was she coming downstairs merely out of curiosity to meet her older sister’s intended, then to slip away for the afternoon with her friends? Did she have nervous or polite conversation with my father? What did they talk about? By the time she was 15 and he was 17, he had persuaded her to get married during her lunch hour in Manhattan’s City Hall. They prevailed upon two men in a nearby barbershop to be their witnesses and to swear that they were both of age. They then returned to work and to their separate homes that night.

My father was triumphant, I know, because he told us so, for now he had the love of his life as his own. Did he have any idea what that meant? You know, the stuff about making a home, supporting and caring for a wife? And my mother, my always and eminently practical mother? How had he convinced her to do this without telling her parents, her brothers and sisters, especially her older sister with whom she was dearly close? Hard as it is for me to picture, she must have been wildly in love. Theirs was a youthful marriage that worked. They were seldom apart, only during the workday, and they eagerly reunited in the evenings. I could sense the quickening of her breath as we heard his key in the front door. And they began their nightly nonstop conversations as he entered the apartment. My sister and I fell asleep each night to the hum of their voices coming from the kitchen. My dad was born in 1904, my mother in 1906, so they had both lived through World War I. My dad was lucky to be too young for the draft, but how did he feel seeing his

older brothers marching off to war? And my mother? Was she worried about the fate of her older brother? I never asked them. My parents decided everything together. My mother was more assertive about her opinions, but if my father didn’t agree she would back off. And while he seldom disagreed with her, when he did he was not reticent to let her know. They lived through the Great Depression, but I don’t know if they worried about money or job security. Were they afraid? There was no unemployment or health insurance then. Did they have nightmares about standing on breadlines? I never asked. I do know that by 1939 they started their first business with all the life savings they had managed to scrape together. Then came Pearl Harbor and World War II. Once again my father was saved, being just beyond draft age. Did they feel threatened by the attack and the war? What were their thoughts and feelings? How did they cope with the stress? I came along then, but at no time in their lives did I think to ask. Now, of course, it is too late.
