Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R), Councilman Ed Smyth (R) and Councilwoman Joan Cergol (D) were joined by the Huntington Harbormaster’s office to accept a donation of a Stokes basket from the Greater Huntington Council of Yachting and Boating Clubs in February. “We sincerely appreciate the GHCYBC’s donation of this water rescue device, which complements safety upgrades implemented on our waterways, at our town marinas and to our response fleet during this administration,” Lupinacci said. Smyth, who sponsored a resolution directing the Department of Maritime Services to purchase two additional Stokes baskets at the Feb. 23 Town Board meeting, said, “We are very grateful to the GHCYBC for donating this Stokes basket. Now, each of the town’s three rescue boats has a new basket. We hope they never get used.” Cergol said, “GHCYBC has been a valued and

generous waterfront partner to the town for years and as before, I’m grateful for their thoughtful attention to boating safety and our boating public with the recent donation of this Stokes basket.” Ed Carr, commodore of the Greater Huntington Council of Yachting and Boating Clubs, said, “The Greater Huntington Boating Council is pleased to use the proceeds from our Safe Boating Week events to purchase and donate a new Stokes basket to the town. This device is a critical piece of equipment for retrieving an injured person in the water, and ultimately transferring them to an ambulance.” In November 2020, the Town Board formally accepted the donation of a Stokes basket from the GHCYBC to be used by the Department of Maritime Services on its M-1 response vessel to aid in the rescue of boaters in and around Huntington waterways. The ordered basket was delivered to GHCYBC in early 2021.

Cuthbertson has eye on Spencer’s county legislator seat BY HARRY TO DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Town of Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) is not seeking reelection and is instead vying for the Suffolk County Legislature seat in the 18th District. The seat is currently held by William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport), who was arrested last October in a sex-for-drugs sting. Police said he allegedly planned to meet a prostitute in the parking lot of a Goodwill store in Elwood to trade sex for pills, reportedly oxycodone. Spencer has decided against running for reelection. Cuthbertson has served for over two decades on the Huntington Town Board. Now, he hopes to translate his experience in local politics to the county level. “Experience with budgeting and ﬁnance, open

space and environmental protection, economic development, employee relations and collective bargaining, and public safety are among the areas that would allow me to hit the ground running as a county legislator,” he said in a phone interview Friday. “There are various facets of my private sector experience in commercial real estate, civil rights litigation and land use that also round out my experience and will allow me to better serve the people as a county legislator.” According to a press release, Cuthbertson’s accomplishments as a legislator include sponsorship of two open space contracts that resulted in the preservation of hundreds of acres of environmentally sensitive lands, strengthening local laws to increase affordable housing for working families and helping raise the town bond rating to AAA, the highest rating. Cuthbertson is a lifelong resident of Huntington, graduating from Walt Whitman High School. Later he attended Villanova University and earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration and then his juris doctor degree from Albany Law School, where he was a member of the Albany Law Review publication. He is also a graduate of the Energeia Partnership at Molloy College, a leadership institute dedicated to addressing complex and challenging issues on Long Island. Rich Schaffer, chairman of the Suffolk County Democratic Committee, spoke about Cuthbertson’s local popularity. “Councilman Mark Cuthbertson has been consistently reelected to the Huntington Town Council because of his record delivering for the families of Huntington,” Schaffer said.“We’re excited to work with Mark to keep

our Democratic majority in the Legislature so he can continue working to improve the lives of Suffolk County families.” To oppose Cuthbertson, the Suffolk County Republican Party has put forth Stephanie Bontempi, a fifth-grade teacher at The Green Vale School in Old Brookville and chairperson of the Town of Huntington’s Beautification Advisory Council. In an email statement Bontempi said she is not a career politician “I am a working mother of three who is deeply invested in our community and who is running for public office to be a citizen legislator,” she said. “The people of the 18th Legislative District need a person who will

look at process and policy-making with a new set of eyes, as the status quo of continued ﬁnancial mismanagement, alleged corruption, and pay-to-play politics in Suffolk County needs to end. I will use the skills I use daily as an educator and as an active participant in our community to ﬁnd common sense solutions to the challenges facing our county.” In the email, Bontempi listed some of her goals if she is elected including working “directly with law enforcement to keep our neighborhoods safe, to end reckless spending and hidden fees, to improve our downtowns and reform regulations so that small businesses can thrive, and to protect our water quality and the environment.``

Knights of Columbus member Bob Slingo said nine of the members had their heads shaved, and despite the lack of a big event, were still able to raise nearly $7,000 toward their $8,000 goal. The Miller’s Ale House event raised almost $50,000 from various teams. The Fr. Judge K of C team is still accepting donations to reach their goal.

Unable to receive the data from the state to support the lack of focus on indoor family entertainment centers, he was able to obtain his own data from other Urban Air parks that were allowed to reopen around the country. Observing approximately 140 different Urban Air parks, Wolmetz found that out of the 4 million guests who have been served, no cases of COVID-19 were traced back to their parks. “It was very tough for us to understand why we couldn’t reopen, but we remained patient,” he said. “We are doing everything possible to remain safe, and are pleased we will be able to open March 26 and serve the community again.” Despite how tough the year has been for such companies and keeping in mind that only 25% capacity will be permitted on reopening shortly, Dominick Crafa, Sky Zone general manager, said he is still looking forward to welcoming back families into the park again. “We want to allow people to have fun again, and try to get back to somewhat of a normal,” he said, “We’ll probably be running in the red for a little bit and losing some money, but just the fact that we’re able to get back to some sort of normal life and provide a place of happiness is something we’re excited for.”

The pandemic didn’t stop members of Father Thomas A. Judge Knights of Columbus in East Northport from raising money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation this year. St. Baldrick’s events help to raise funds for childhood cancer research. This year the members of Fr. Judge K of C went to Manny’s Barbershop in East Northport to have their heads shaved March 14, and then the shavees made a brief stop at Miller’s Ale House in Commack. The restaurant has hosted an inperson St. Baldrick’s Day event in the past, and this year continued the tradition by making the

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced beginning March 26, indoor family entertainment centers will be able to reopen at 25% capacity. Other facilities such as bowling alleys and escape rooms have been open since last August, but indoor family entertainment centers are among the industries that have been left behind during the reopening plan. As a result, they have taken a big hit since the start of the pandemic last March. A few Long Island entertainment centers such as Urban Air Adventure Park in Lake Grove and Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Mount Sinai are “excited, eager, thrilled, delighted” to make a comeback this year. “We tried as a business to get engagement from New York State about the reopen plan for family entertainment,” said David Wolmetz, coowner of Urban Air. “Meanwhile these other businesses like bowling alleys, gymnastics, casinos, gyms and other indoor recreation centers were able to reopen and we were questioning why the data was not allowing for our business to open.”

Suffolk families help bring Down syndrome achievement center to Long Island BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A group of Long Islanders saw a need for a safe space for people with Down syndrome and, despite COVID-19, they made it happen. Founded in 2003, GiGi’s Playhouse is an international network of achievement centers, providing free therapeutic and educational programs for people of all ages. This month, the nonprofit’s 52nd location — and Long Island’s first — will open in Patchogue. But families from across both North and South shores helped bring this safe space to life. Mike Cirigliano, board president and owner of Cirigliano Agency, said that GiGi’s Playhouse Long Island will help fill a void for families of loved ones with Down syndrome. Over the course of several years, the group tried to find the perfect site, scouting locations across Long Island. They eventually settled on 100 Austin St. (in Patchogue), where they took over three of the four units inside the building. Located right off Sunrise Highway, he said the spot is easy for families to get to whether they come from Nassau County or the Hamptons. “There is a true need for this on Long Island,” he said. “This is where people can come — a place where parents who need a place to go with their child can come play, hang out.” But it’s not just a place to chill. Board member Karyn Degnan said it will offer programs for people with a prenatal diagnosis to those adults with Down syndrome. “Moms and dads can go to this common place to talk and share their stories,” she said. “They can grow with the center.” The new facility offers everything from fine motor skills to speech and socialization programs, to tutoring, exercise classes and even a kitchen where young adults can learn how to cook.

Degnan, a Centereach mom of three, said two of her children have Down syndrome: Sal, who’s 11 and daughter Ryan, who’s 5. “As my kids grow, they have a teen center there — a place where people can go as they grow into their young adulthood life,” she said. “It’s a place where they can feel like they belong.” Cirigliano said that although the fundraising aspect and search for a spot has been years in the making, they officially signed the lease in early February. Over the last month, the group of 50plus volunteers helped turn the office spaces into a vibrant, exciting place. “What’s really cool is I brought my kids with me so they can see the before and after,” Degnan added. “After we were done with the construction, I could feel their positive energy and their love for it. When they were able to witness it being all done, there was this happiness that was beaming from them.” She said her 11-year-old can’t wait to hang out there with his friends. One of those friends is Derek DeProspo, an 8-year-old from Selden who also has Down syndrome. His grandmother, Elizabeth Rahne of Selden, is GiGi’s new program director. “It’s an incredible organization and has incredible mission,” she said. “It’s giving parents and families the support they need to help their children become the best they can be.” Rahne said groups like the ones at GiGi’s Playhouse are important for new parents.

“It’s an overwhelming diagnosis,” she said. “You don’t know how much they’re going to progress or what they’ll able to accomplish.” But Derek runs and plays with the kids inside the center — an inclusive space where kids who are neurotypical, on the autism spectrum or who have Down syndrome can play, dance, create and socialize with no judgment or fear. “I’m so proud of what he’s able to do now,” she said. “I think people need to hear the story that our children do have some difficulties, but they can accomplish so much more than people think. We need to celebrate their uniqueness.” Angelique Sternberger, of Port Jefferson Station, lost her 3-year-old son, D.J., eight years ago.

“When D.J. was born, the doctors came to us and told us he had Down syndrome,” she said. “They always focus on the worst things possible, but it’s all about what these children can do.” She joined GiGi’s Playhouse in 2017 in memory of him and is now the board secretary. “It’s helpful to have a place where you can go if you need some assistance,” she said. “I wish I had a GiGi’s Playhouse when D.J. was born.” This April, D.J. would be turning 12 and, looking back, Sternberger thinks he would be thrilled to know what his mom has helped accomplish. “I’m sure he would love it here,” she said. “He was such a social child … he was the mayor of his school, and he would love being able to interact with other kids.” Run solely on donations and fundraisers, GiGi’s Playhouse is 99% volunteer based. The only paid employee is the site manager, who opens and closes every day. Cirigliano said that people who want to donate can do so online at gigisplayhouse.org. He said that they will be highlighting donors on their front door every month to say “thank you” for making this all possible. And the opening comes at a special time for the Down syndrome community: March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day, and the Long Island chapter of GiGi’s Playhouse is officially opening its doors one day before. From 10 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. on March 20, a virtual grand opening will be streamed through Facebook and online. Due to COVID-19, families who want to start using the achievement center’s services must schedule an appointment online. “Children with Down syndrome like to follow their peers,” Sternberger said. “We want them to be able to socialize. So, come to GiGi’s and we’ll be there with open arms.” GiGi’s Playhouse will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays. To view the hours of operation, visit gigisplayhouse.org/longisland.

Local lawmakers call on Cuomo to resign

BY LEAH CHIAPPINO DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Despite high marks from his handling of the pandemic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has recently faced seven allegations of sexual harassment. The allegations come after a Jan. 28 report by the state attorney general, Letitia James (D), alleging the governor’s administration undercounted COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes by as much as 50 percent. Due to these recent developments, many elected officials have called on the governor to resign, including U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). “Confronting and overcoming the COVID crisis requires sure and steady leadership,” they said in a joint statement March 12. “We commend the brave actions of the individuals who have come forward with serious allegations of abuse and misconduct. Due to the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it is clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners and the people of New York. Governor Cuomo should resign.” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY1), an ardent Cuomo critic who is eyeing a run for governor next year, echoed calls for Cuomo to resign. When news of the seventh allegation broke, Zeldin issued a statement, also March 12, which read, “Andrew Cuomo has abused the power and privilege entrusted to him by the people of New York, and his most recent remarks could not make this more clear. His continued attempts to discredit the individuals who have come forward, question their ‘motives’ and more underscore just how far he’ll go to dodge any and all responsibility. His actions are inexcusable and unforgivable, and it’s up to each and every New Yorker — legislators, the media and voters — to hold him accountable.” The congressman also criticized Cuomo’s handling of nursing homes. “The [U.S.] Department of Justice needs to immediately open an obstruction of justice investigation into Governor Cuomo and his administration,” he said in another statement, Feb. 12. “It’s now being reported there has been a direct admission of their nursing home coverup with the intent of blocking a DOJ investigation. The families of thousands of dead New York seniors deserve accountability and justice for the true consequences of Governor Cuomo’s fatally flawed nursing home policy and the continued attempts to cover it up.” Local state Republicans, have also called on Cuomo to resign. State Sen. Mario Mattera (R-St. James) said that if Cuomo does not resign, the State Assembly and Senate should move forward with impeachment proceedings. “While I did not come to this decision lightly, the time has come for new leadership so that all elected officials can return to doing the work our residents need without the numerous

distractions that have plagued our state recently,” the March 11 statement read. “As a husband and a father, the continual unveiling of new sexual assault allegations — now sexual abuse — against Governor Cuomo are simply appalling. Equally important, his administration’s admitted altering of data and misdirection regarding our state’s nursing

homes are simply unacceptable.” State Sen. Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) agreed the governor should resign in light of the harassment allegations against him. “In the wake of numerous sexual harassment allegations and now a deeply disturbing claim of sexual assault against Governor Cuomo, I truly question his ability to lead our state through

these difficult times,” he said in a statement, also March 11. “While I am a firm believer in due process and feel strongly that everyone is entitled to their day in court, these scandals undermine the governor’s ability to conduct his official duties and have irreparably damaged the public’s trust in the state’s top executive.” The majority of local Democrats are awaiting the independent investigation called for by AG James before making a final determination. However, state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport), released a statement in coordination with the Long Island State Senate majority, calling on Cuomo to step down until the attorney general finishes her investigation into the sexual harassment claims. “The gravity of these claims makes it clear to us that the governor cannot lead the state while faithfully responding to multiple investigations,” the March 12 statement read. “This is especially true in light of the impending state budget deadline, the need to continue guiding the state through the pandemic and the fragility of the state’s economic recovery.” U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY3), said that if Cuomo cannot simultaneously comply with the investigations against him and govern the state, he should consider resigning. “The governor is entitled to due process on the many serious and disturbing allegations that have been made against him,” he said in a March 12 statement. “I have confidence that the attorney general and the NYS Assembly will conduct thorough investigations. ... I believe the governor must seriously consider whether he can effectively continue to govern in the midst of these unfolding allegations. If he cannot effectively govern with all of the controversy surrounding him, he must put the interests of all New Yorkers first and he should resign.” State Assemblyman Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills), said he supports the investigation by the state attorney general into the accusations against Cuomo. “These allegations of sexual harassment must be taken seriously, and it is imperative that a transparent and independent inquiry begin immediately,” he said. “I also support the Assembly Judiciary Committee’s simultaneous investigation to determine if any impeachable offenses were committed. The committee will have the authority to interview witnesses, subpoena documents and evaluate evidence, all of which is provided under the New York State Constitution.” While Cuomo has repeatedly apologized for making his accusers feel uncomfortable, he has denied that he ever groped anyone and has refused to resign. A March 15 Siena poll, as reported by Politico, indicated that a total of 57% of respondents are “satisfied with the way Cuomo has addressed the allegations” while 32% are “not satisfied.” As for the resignation issue, 50% say he should not leave office, 35% say he should and 15% are undecided.

Northport Tigers win opener against Connetquot, 26-0

BY STEVEN ZAITZ DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM They waited almost 500 days to play a football game. They are now going to wait longer than expected to play the next one. The Northport Tigers opened their spring season this past Saturday by blanking the Connetquot Thunderbirds, 26-0. However, two Tiger players tested positive for the coronavirus following the game, and the entire team will be quarantined until at least March 24, postponing this week’s matchup against rivals Half Hollow Hills East. The Tigers are trying to stay positive, enjoy the win and hope for the best during the 10 day in-person shutdown of the program. “It was a great win,” said an emotionally mixed Head Coach Pat Campbell. “I told the guys that we have to celebrate this win and appreciate it because nobody knows what the future holds.” Yes, the immediate future of the team has a large font-sized question mark above its collective head, but the present says they have a record of 1-0 after their thumping of the Thunderbirds. The Tigers are looking at this early season pause philosophically. “I talked to the kids and the message is not to lose your faith, look out for each other and we’ll get back out there in short order,” Campbell said. “We’re going to meet virtually, and I have a lot of trust in this team. We’re going to stay ‘together’ apart.” On this autumnal day in March, they did more than stay together. They obliterated Connetquot starting right from the opening whistle. The Tigers

played a stifling brand of defense, allowing the T-Birds 84 total yards and zero trips into the red zone. Northport linebacker Anthony Canales was a human game plan wrecker as he had 13 tackles and a quarterback sack. “That was the first real sack of my career,” Canales said. “It felt great.” The senior and future Alfred University Saxon, who also had a forced fumble and three tackles for loss, admits he might have had an extra bit of motivation on this day. Newsday’s list of Top 100 High School Football Players on Long Island was published the day before the game and Connetquot’s Will Immel and Vncent Canatia were both on the list. There were no Tigers on it. “I guess they forgot us this year,” said the jovial Canales. “I feel like we have a few players on this team who could have made that list, but it’s only a list. At the end of the day, who really cares. It’s cool to prove people wrong.” Coach Campbell joked that he’s going to start calling his players 101, 102, 103 and 104. On offense, the Tigers used an inside-outside running game and racked up an eye-popping 377 yards rushing. Rafe Carner led the way with 102 on the ground, and Andrew Argyris had three blunt force touchdowns from in close. Jack Sandrib steamrolled his way to 95 yards on only six carries, and Rocco Stola had 94 yards on seven carries. Stola, who plays defense and special teams as well (i.e., he never comes off the field) was able to use his speed to out-flank the T-Bird defense on sweeps. “I’ve got to give credit to the blocking up front,” said the modest Stola. “We have been working

really hard, in drills and in meetings, even from last year when a lot of things didn’t go our way. But today, our offensive line was great. Our defense was amazing. I think all phases today showed that Northport is ready to make a difference after all this time away from football.” In 2019, the Tigers were ravaged by injuries, had a 2-6 season and missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade. “Last year [2019] we had a different kind of epidemic and it was injuries,” lamented Campbell. “We had 22 separate injuries, many of which were season ending. We went through five quarterbacks and by the time we got to the last game of the year, we were on our sixth.” This year’s signal caller, senior Conner Gallagher, had a quiet game, completing half of his eight pass attempts for 40 yards, but Campbell felt he did a fine job leading the offense. “Conner looked good on the tape I saw,” Campbell said. “He’s going to be called upon to make some big throws for us this year. But today, we were able to run it effectively.” Looking at tape and holding virtual meetings are what the team is relegated to for the next week and a half, but the coach is already planning on how to make best use of that time as they still plan to play Huntington on March 27. “It’s going to be hard, but I think it’s important to keep the routine and schedule and devote the

time to football that we planned on,” Campbell said. “As far as staying in shape physically, that’s up to each kid being accountable for himself. The kids are in charge of the culture on this team, and we have many great leaders. I have confidence in our leaders to be able to rally them up and we’ll step up to this challenge as a team.” Just another 10-day challenge; for Northport football, they can add that to the five hundred that came before.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

Gov. Andrew Cuomo must go

Activists attend a rally for police reform in Hauppauge March 15. Photo by Julianne Mosher

‘The People’s Plan’

This week, dozens of groups across Long Island stood together, calling on lawmakers to adopt “The People’s Plan” for police reform, including one outside county offices in Hauppauge on March 15. Created by community task force and advocacy groups, the plan is in response to a separate version Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) submitted to lawmakers last week. And it’s needed, especially since the plan has taken into consideration feedback from retired law enforcement, civil rights attorneys, advocates and activists. Earlier this month, Bellone held an urgent press conference, alleging the assault from police on a man who stole a car and ran from the cops, in Port Jefferson Station — our backyard. Of course, there are two sides to every story. The county’s current police reform proposal directs the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission to review complaints of police misconduct. That being said, the police department would still have the power to investigate and discipline their own. The plan created by advocacy groups would create a community council to review and hold the police accountable for misconduct. What’s wrong with that? By allowing the community to deliberate on what was wrong, it would alleviate some of the stresses that police officers constantly deal with. It might even prevent the “bad apples” from doing bad things. A year after Breonna Taylor’s death and nearing 365 days since the George Floyd killing, 2020 was a mess filled with protests, anger, fear and arguments. We’re three months into 2021. Let’s start anew, afresh and let open conversations prevent the beatings of innocent people, prevent unlawful deaths and make the communities we live in a better place for everyone — no matter their gender, race, income level or role in society. Transparency is a good thing in all walks of public life.

New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D] is clearly responsible for the unnecessary deaths of thousands of our friends, neighbors and fellow citizens, and he must be held accountable for his heartless actions. Cuomo wrote a directive requiring all New York nursing homes to accept all COVID-19 patients who were residents, without regard for the problem that most nursing homes were not medical facilities, and lacked both the equipment and the personnel to deal with this infectious disease. Furthermore, the nursing homes were prohibited from testing the incoming residents for having the disease at the time of their entry. This unwise policy led inexorably to the needless deaths of thousands of elderly patients, many of whom could have been saved if proper medical treatment had been provided for them. And, as it turned out, the medical facilities were indeed available, including those in New York City at the USNS Comfort, which treated fewer than 200 patients, and the Javits Center,

which treated little more than 1,000, although these large venues could have handled many more patients with ease. In the summer of 2020, Cuomo’s staff issued a report claiming that approximately 4,800 New York residents had died from COVID-19 in nursing homes. Cuomo himself, meanwhile, was living it up as a TV celebrity, delivering daily lectures on his inspirational leadership, modestly expressing humble amazement when he received an Emmy award, writing — or claiming to write — a best-selling book entitled “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,” and having a high old time laughing it up with his CNN celebrity weightlifter brother, Chris, making jokes about their mother’s spaghetti sauce and the size of the governor’s nose. Then the truth came out, triggered by a report from state Attorney General Letitia James [D], which revealed that the Cuomo administration had intentionally misreported the number

of nursing home deaths, and that the actual number was more like 12,000, rather than the 4,800 that had been reported. Cuomo, whose incompetence is exceeded only by his arrogance, went immediately into attack mode, saying, among other things, “But who cares? 33 [percent]. 28 [percent]. Died in a hospital. Died in a nursing home. They died.” He then proceeded to blame every conceivable suspect, focusing, to the surprise of no one, on President Donald Trump [R] and his administration, while exempting, of course, his own guilty self. There are calls for prosecution by AG James, impeachment by the state Legislature and voluntary resignation. In the event that none of these highly desirable outcomes happens to eventuate, let us look forward to the election of 2022, when the voters of New York can put an end to the unfortunate Cuomo dynasty, once and for all.

I, for one, with the hope that others share my feelings, ﬁnd that some of the current elected ofﬁcials’ reactions regarding the present New York State governor, are quite repulsive, disheartening and disappointing, to state the least. Firstly, these individuals hold positions by which they could choose to be viewed as role models, demonstrating on a daily basis leadership skills, administrative skills, positive humanistic skills, to whom they serve. Secondly, some allow themselves to adhere to behaviors that are hurtful, dishonest, backstabbing, with underhanded motivations, which are

manipulative and destructive in nature. As of this writing, I hold licensing in the State of New York as a mental health worker, as well as a license in administration and leadership. These are licenses some of the elected ofﬁcials do not hold but yet they are performing these duties on a daily basis, with no formal training or licensing to do so. Would a teacher, dentist, physician, plumber, electrician or mechanic be allowed to carry out their trade without the proper credentials to do so? Whatever happened to the process of innocence until proven guilty, before an individual is publicly attacked? This process, as a reminder, is elaborated

upon within several amendments in our U.S. Constitution. This is a basic model which needs to be adhered to. This backstabbing, manipulative, sick behavior and motivations must be seen for what they are and not tolerated by the electorate any longer. We have the power to support true statespersons who demonstrate observable behaviors that can carry out leadership tasks that support “the greatest good for the greatest number,” and represent behaviors that are fair, respectful, caring, kind, compassionate and honest.

Funny stories about being a woman early in business

here are some funny stories I could share with you about being a woman in business this Women’s History Month. Like any storyteller, I may be repeating myself with a couple, so please indulge me with your patience. I hope they will give you a chuckle even if you’ve already heard them. First though, I would call your attention elsewhere in the newspaper and on our website to a section in which local businesswomen are Between you and me participating in this BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF month’s spotlight. They have sent in headshots of themselves and have answered one of three questions that we posed: how do you balance work-life duties; who inspired you; what words would you offer younger women interested in

following in your footsteps? Please look for them and enjoy their responses. We hope you will also shop in their stores and use their services, thus supporting both the local economy and minorityowned enterprise. We started the first newspaper, The Village Times, on April 8, 1976. After some wildly chaotic and exciting first months, just before Christmas, I was waiting in line at the deli across from the office when I was greeted by the ad director of a local competitor newspaper. We had met several times before, and he was filled with the good cheer of the season. “Congratulations on your new venture,” he said. “The paper looks very good every week.” “Thank you,” I replied, thinking it was a generous thing for him to say to another publisher. “You tell the fellow up there that he’s doing a great job,” he added, pointing upward to my office building on the hill. “What fellow?” I asked, ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ crossing my mind. “Aw, c’mon,” he said with a laugh. “We all know

you have some guy up there running the show.” “Merry Christmas,” I replied and took the encounter back to the staff of half a dozen wives and mothers, who howled. Then there was the time I was seated on the dais next to the New York Press Association’s keynote speaker, Mike Wallace. It was the Spring Convention, 1984. On his other side was the association’s president finishing his meal, and I was the president-elect. Wallace, good journalist that he was, chatted with us throughout the dinner, sincerely asking about the names and locations of our newspapers. After it was my turn, and I answered his queries, he looked at me and asked, “And where is your husband?” I could hear the president choking on his food as he feared my response. “He’s at home watching the children,” I answered with a smile. At this point, the president was able to get out, “No, she is the owner and publisher of her paper.” Wallace turned back to me, patted my arm, and after a long pause, offered, “Forgive me, my dear. I’m an old dinosaur.”

Here’s another. It was 1978 and I had arrived the night before the NYPA convention was to start. I was already checked into the hotel and was eating dinner in the dining room with a book for company. “May I join you?” I looked up and saw a pleasant-looking man smiling down at me. “Yes,” I answered, returning the smile and assuming he was another early arrival for the convention. We exchanged names and hometowns, chatted briefly about the weather in Albany, and then he slid his room key across the tablecloth. “Come up about 9:00,” he instructed. I stared at him puzzled, then realized what he was saying. “Why would you think I would be coming to your room?” I asked astonished. “Well,” he said, “you are down here in the hotel eating by yourself.” He withdrew the key and quickly left. I looked around, realized I was the only woman eating alone, skipped dessert, paid the check, rode the elevator up to my room, and once inside, double-locked the door. That was life in the fast lane for a woman in business in the 1970s.
