feel good when they leave at night. It’s like a miracle every day here.” Chernovsky’s husband Andy died two years ago after being diagnosed with ALS. But she said the disease couldn’t slow his pas-

Fostering care

When in business for nine decades, times can certainly get ruff, but the Little Shelter has stood the test of time. The Elwood-based shelter turned 90 this year, a remarkable milestone many residents might have thought was impossible in the past. Anna Hunninghouse, a Huntington resident who saw local stray animals being rounded up and shot if no one came to claim them, established the shelter in the 1920s. She opened the no-kill shelter as a humane society that would care for animals living on the streets and dying from diseases. “She wanted to give animals respect and take them off the streets,” current shelter director David Ceely said in a phone interview. He said the shelter is still on the original property and functioning in the original buildings and grounds. But Ceely said in the later half of the 20th century the shelter became dormant, after Hunninghouse passed away, and almost shut down at one point. “It was only open a few times a week, and Maryann was asked to help,” Ceely said. Maryann Chernovsky, the volunteer president of Little Shelter, was asked 27 years ago to take control of the shelter and help bring it back to life. She had experience working at other similar organizations, and she said she originally promised her husband she would only be working there for a few years to get them on their feet. “I told him it would take three years to get it up and running,” Chernovsky said in a phone interview. “And every year after that period he would ask ‘has it been

shelter Continued from page A1 Even when he was suffering he was still giving out Little Shelter brochures to local businesses.” Ceely said Chernovsky helped transform the shelter into the establishment it is now, offering several programs that give back to Huntington. “We feel we have a responsibility to the community because we survive on donations,” Ceely said. “The community is very important to us.” Ceely said Little Shelter takes part in several different outreach programs like Animal Soup Kitchen, otherwise known as ASK. The program is designed to keep animals with their families who love them by providing free pet food, vaccinations, spay/neutering and medical treatment for families who do not have the resources to properly feed or care for their beloved pet. “This way the animal gets to stay with the family that loves them and it keeps them out of the shelter system,” Ceely said. The Human Education Program involves the shelter staff teaching children the skills and knowledge necessary to properly care for animals and helps to instill a lifelong sense of compassion and respect for all living things. The shelter offers workshops on humane issues for children in public and private schools, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and early intervention programs. The Little Shelter’s reading program also involves education with young students. Currently the shelter works with five local elementary

The students come into a non-judgmental setting and read to a dog that sits lovingly by their side. As the relationship between the student and the dog grows, the child’s confidence and

self-esteem grows and stress and anxiety decrease, according to Ceely. “We’ve seen children blossom and their confidence grow,” Ceely said. The shelter has similar programs for veterans, traveling to the veterans hospital in Northport to connect patients with dogs, and waiving fees for veterans looking for service dogs.

One of the most unique programs the Little Shelter provides is its sanctuary located in upstate New York. The 110-acre property is the home to dogs and cats that have had an especially hard time being adopted, mostly due to medical or behavioral issues. Animals live in rooms styled more like apartments or homes to provide comfort and peace in a relaxing environment, and are provided 24/7 care. Each dog has its own furnished room painted to suit the dog’s personality and there is a pond on the property for the dogs to swim in. ‘The dogs there must think they’ve died and gone to heaven,” Chernovsky said of the property. Ceely said the program is what truly keeps the Little Shelter a no-kill shelter, ensuring every animal, even those with only a few months to live, are treated with the utmost care. Little Shelter has housed many unique pets throughout the years. At one point it was the home of Spot, a Dalmatian and eventually the Huntington Manor Fire Department’s mascot, and Mustard Seed, a young puppy who was at one point close to being euthanized. After being rescued by the Little Shelter, she was soon walking the runway for a dog fashion show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan. It has also given both Ceely and Chernovsky pets that are now a part of their family. “Little by little this shelter has gotten to where it is now, and I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished,” Chernovsky said. “People always ask why not children or the elderly? But with us it’s not just about dogs and cats. Every time the phone rings it’s not a bark or a meow, it’s a human who needs help with a loved one.”

Greenlawn resident unites community to help foster children By Victoria Espinoza VICTORIA@TbRnewspApeRs.COm

146430

One Greenlawn resident rose to the challenge of helping some of her community’s youngest and most needy. Rachael Risinger, a member of the Greenlawn Civic Association recently became inspired by the nonprofit organization Together We Rise, which works to make a difference in the lives of foster children across the nation. Risinger reached out to the Suffolk County chapter to find out how she could help. “This year for Lent I wanted to do something instead of give something up,” she said in a phone interview. “I started following Together We Rise and I saw they could give me the opportunity to give back to my own community.” The nonprofit has many different ways for people to volunteer and fundraise. The organization raises money so foster kids can have bikes, they ask for interested donors to make donations as gifts in the amount of their age, and they also raise money for scholarships for the kids. Risinger decided to work on “sweet cases,” a program Together We Rise does to help children when they are taken from their homes and left without many of their own belongings. According to the group, when foster children are removed from their homes by social workers they don’t get to take many of their personal items with them beyond what they can fit in a trash bag. The program ensures every child has a suitcase or duffel bag to hold their belongings. Each sweet case comes packed with a pillow pet or a stuffed animal, coloring books and crayons, a blanket and a hygiene kit to take with them on their journey to a new home. “This helps give them something they can own,” Risinger said. “I originally set my goal at 20 bags, so $500. Well within two hours of setting up my fundraising page online I had already raised the $500. It was really amazing.” Risinger said she was so surprised by how quickly she was able to raise the funds she doubled her goal — and by the end of that same day she had raised $1,000. “I guess God had bigger plans for me than 20 bags,” she said. “So I changed my goal again to $2,000. I wanted to give myself a deadline of Easter, and by March 14 we went over $2,000. It was really overwhelming, I was blown away.” The total ended up at $2,905.87. The Greenlawn resident was then tasked with the challenge of decorating and packing more than 100 suitcases, so she turned to her friends and family within the community for help. “People came in and out all day — we ended up running out of room for people,” Risinger said. “We stuffed 103 bags in total, and hopefully these kits will be affecting a sad situation in a positive way.” Risinger said she chose to get involved with Together We Rise because she has always been passionate about helping foster children, but didn’t know how without becoming a foster parent. “I loved how I can directly help kids who live here in Suffolk County,” she said.

District budget proposals stay within tax cap By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com

Northport

The Northport-East Northport school district has proposed a $163.3 million budget for 2017-18, which includes a slight reduction in staff due to a consistent trend of decreasing enrollment and several projects to improve school grounds and facilities. The budget stays within the school’s statemandated tax levy cap — increasing the tax levy by 1.57 percent — and is a 1.22 percent increase from last year’s total budget. The district has presented multiple budget presentations throughout the month of April, which have focused on personnel and benefits; administrative and instructional changes; and buildings and ground changes. Superintendent Robert Banzer said during the March 16 meeting the district expects to see an enrollment drop of 146 students next year, with the largest decreases in grades four, six, and 11. This has led the district to propose eliminating a teaching position at Fifth Avenue Elementary School, two at Norwood Elementary School, one at Ocean Primary School and two at East Northport Middle School for grade six. The change would result in an increase in class sizes for elementary school classes. One health position and four positions from the art, music and physical education realm will be removed, as well as a few staff support positions. In total the proposed 2017-18 budget includes funding

for seven fewer positions than the current year’s budget. Several Northport-East Northport residents and parents of students wrote to their board, pleading for class sizes not to be changed. “I am writing to request that class size remain the same and not be increased,” Colleen and Kevin Mahoney said. “Both [of our] children have had a wonderful education in our district. I believe this to be due to smaller class size. As a teacher, I know first-hand every extra child in a class means less individual attention to others.” Parents Caryn and Jonathon Ciaio shared the same concerns. “This is very disappointing and we feel strongly this decision would not be in the best interests of our children or the community,” they said. “We feel very strongly that smaller class sizes has been extremely beneficial for our children and allows for an appropriate balance of time and attention between students.” Nearly 100 parents of third-grade students at Fifth Avenue Elementary School signed a petition to keep class sizes the same. The buildings and grounds budget is proposed to decrease by $3.7 million or 13.6 percent from last year’s total. The budget includes plans to repair and reseal tennis courts at East Northport Middle School, repair driveways and sidewalks, replace bleachers at William J. Brosnan School, and more. The 2017-18 transportation budget includes the purchase of one new bus. Middle schools students will see new educational opportunities if the proposed budget is passed, with plans to create robotics and automation study units for seventh- and eighth-graders; bring advanced manufacturing technology for wood and metal technology education; and the purchase of mini 3-D printers. Robotic electives and engineering courses are also in

the budget. But one Northport resident and former board of education candidate doesn’t think the current budget offers enough STEM opportunities for students. “Northport-East Northport is trailing behind other districts when it comes to introducing STEM opportunities in the lower grades, especially in middle school,” Shawne Albero said in a letter to the board. She urged the board to offer more robotic clubs for younger students. For art and performing arts students, the budget includes the purchase of a high performance potter’s wheel, a digital soundboard and wireless microphone system for the high school auditorium. The board will hold a hearing on the finalized budget May 4, and the community will have the chance to vote May 16.

Harborfields

After submitting and passing a cappiercing budget last year which required 60 percent support from district residents on election day, this year the Harborfields Central School District has proposed a budget that stays within the state-mandated cap, while maintaining current programs — including the recent addition of full-day kindergarten. The proposed $84.4 million budget is about $1.6 million more than last year’s total. If passed the tax levy will increase by 0.16 percent. Superintendent Francesco Ianni said at a March 22 meeting the district is expected to receive about $16 million in state aid. Ianni said the proposed plan maintains

For Northport-East Northport residents headed to the polls next month, this year marks a vote unlike any before. Nearly two years ago a petition with about 300 signatures was presented to the school board by the United Taxpayers of Northport-East Northport to reduce the number of trustees. Armand D’Accordo, a member of the United Taxpayers of NorthportEast Northport who presented the petition, said he had seen a number of issues with the current size of the nine-member board and the length of time board members are in office. “I have gotten the sense at board meetings, both through watching and interacting, that it seems a bit dysfunctional, due to the makeup of how many members and how long they’ve been around,” D’Accordo said. Supporters of the petition said they believe bigger school boards lead to bigger school budgets, and a smaller board would be more efficient and effective. In May 2016 residents showed they agreed with that sentiment, voting in favor of reducing the nine-member board to seven members. Board president Andrew Rapiejko said he did not agree with the vote. “It was not a board-supported proposition,” he said after the vote last May. “I think nine members is more representation. It’s a very large district and if you look at even right now, we just have one board member who’s from East Northport out of nine people.” Nine members is the largest number permitted on a school board, and three the fewest, according to New York State education law. D’Accordo said last year he was relieved with the result of the vote. “Now we have an opportunity to break up the majority of incumbents that have been on the board for too long and get more independent and objective members,” he said. “Most importantly, fewer members will provide more effective governance over the district and improve academic outcomes.” The board members up for re-election this year are Trustees Regina Pisacani, Donna McNaughton and Jennifer Thompson — but only one seat is available for the three incumbents. It’s also not yet clear if any new challengers will try to fight for the one open seat. class size guidelines, advanced placement and elective courses, music performing groups, athletics and full-day kindergarten. The budget would also add grounds staff for long-term maintenance, expand science research, special education programs, as well as enhancing the curriculum plan and initiatives, including the Harborfields 2.0 Technology Initiative, which is described as a plan to strategically align re-

TBR takes home awards By Alex PeTRoSki alex@tbrnewspapers.com Times Beacon Record Newspapers’ six North Shore community papers received 12 awards in the New York Press Association’s 2016 Better Newspaper Contest this weekend. At a NYPA conference held in Saratoga Springs, it was announced that Desirée Keegan, managing editor, sports editor, and editor of both Village Beacon Record and Times of Middle Country, won third place for sports writer of the year for her coverage of local high school and college teams. “Excellent all-around portfolio of work,” the judges wrote. “Detailed stories, smart choices for story subjects.” She finished third in 2013, and took first place in the 2015 standings. Keegan also finished second in her division for a sports feature story on former Stony Brook University men’s basketball star Jameel Warney, who is now on the Texas Legends team as an affiliate player of the Dallas Mavericks. “Rich quotes from a variety of sources,” the judges said of the piece. Victoria Espinoza, editor of The Times of Huntington and Northport and the Times of Smithtown, came in second place in the best feature story category for her division. “History and romance, a great combination for reporting,” a judge said, on her story about 16th century love letters exchanged between a couple in Huntington. A girl was forced to break up with the man, who in turn committed suicide.

Alex Petroski, editor of The Port Times Record, won third place for best feature story in his division for a story judges described as “well crafted and well paced.” The piece involved local Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (CRocky Point), who donated a kidney to a childhood friend. Michael Tessler, Times Beacon Record director of media productions, won first places in his division for both best online dynamic ad and innovative ad project, which was centered around Culper Spy Day. A judge lauded him for a “perfect choice of transition element and timing to music.” Tessler also received an honorable mention in the best advertising campaign category. Beth Heller Mason, art and production director, received an honorable mention in the best small space ad category, which judges called “fun and refreshing.” Freelancer Bill Landon received an honorable mention in his sports feature photo of the Kings Park girls’ volleyball team celebrating the Kingsmen’s sixth straight Suffolk County championship title win. Wendy Mercier won first place for best special section cover for TBR’s 2016 Resolutions edition of Lifestyle magazine, which judges said is “eye-catching and invites the reader to pick up the magazine.” The company also earned second place for best advertising campaign for a “farm market” series, and an honorable mention in the special sections/ niche publications category.

budgets Continued from page A5 sources for longer-term sustainability. “Through this spending plan, resources have been reallocated so that the district is able to enhance certain programs and services without incurring additional costs,” Ianni said in a statement. “There are a lot more science programs going to the high school, and we’re very proud of that,” he said at the March 22 meeting. Ianni explained expanded science research would include adding three more sections to the introductory class, and the district’s special education program would be extended to make it a true 12-month program, so students no longer have to go off-site during the summer months. He also said Harborfield’s tech initiative, which supports the integration of more technology throughout the district, would include launching a Google Chromebook pilot program for four ninth-grade teachers to integrate the use of Chromebooks into the curriculum. The devices are laptops powered with Google applications and are ideal for collaborative classroom work. The district hopes to have Chromebooks fully integrated into the school’s curriculum by the 2021-22 school year. The budget will be adopted April 19, and the public hearing is set for May 9. District residents will have their chance to vote May 16.

Cherished by his four great-grandchildren: Lucas and Madelyn Sherwood and Abigail and Lily Bloomfield. In lieu of flowers, donations in Patrick’s memory to Ecumenical Lay Council Food Pantry (c/o First Presbyterian Church), 330 Main Street, Northport, NY 11768, would be appreciated.

dorothy dugan

Dorothy “Dottie” Dugan died April 2, lifelong Northport resident, 89 years of age. Former village clerk and treasurer with 53 years of dedicated service to the incorporated Village of Northport. Fond sister of Catherine Smith. Loved by her nineteen nieces and nephews and all their families. Donations in Dottie’s memory to St. Philip Neri Parish Outreach, 15 Prospect Avenue, Northport, NY 11768, would be appreciated.

Huntington school district’s proposed $126.2 million budget would expand enrollment in Advanced Placement and high school elective courses, upgrade facilities, add summer enrichment classes and more. The district’s statemandated tax levy increase cap is set at 1.86 percent, and the district comes in below that at a 1.42 percent tax levy increase. The total budget calls for a 2.42 percent increase from last year’s total. Unlike other schools in the area, Huntington is experiencing an increasing trend in enrollment, which will help revenue going forward. The largest chunks of cost increases come from instruction and employee benefits. Other budget cost drivers include increased traffic costs, computer technologies, network maintenance and increased utility costs. Construction of a security vestibule at Flower Hill Elementary School is a $100,000 proposed project, and other specific costs outlined in the budget include $30,000 for a teacher’s center, and $25,000 for computer equipment. Along with the budget, voters must also weigh in on two other propositions the school board has presented. Proposition 2 asks voters to approve release of funds already in the district’s capital reserve fund for completion of state-approved projects. This would have no impact on the tax levy or tax rate, and if the community does not vote for it, the money remains in the capital reserve fund but can’t be used for any other purpose. Proposition 3 asks voters to approve the creation of a new building improvement fund in the capital reserve, with the purpose of completing district-wide renovation and reconstruction projects. “Use of the district’s building improvement funds have helped considerably to keep 60-year-old buildings in top shape with needed improvements and upgrades, all of which are delineated within a long-term capital plan,” Superintendent James Polansky said. “Establishment of a new fund will allow the district to continue such work responsibly, as well as to keep debt levels at their currently low levels.” This action would also have no impact on the tax levy or tax rate. Budget adoption is set for April 18, and the public hearing is May 8. Residents will be able to vote for or against the budget and the two propositions May 16.

Blue Devils drop close call in first game of series By Bill landon Behind solid pitching and timely hitting, the Centereach baseball team was able to hold off Huntington, 6-4, at home April 10, despite back and forth lead changes. Trailing by a run, Centereach third baseman Ryan Mahnke slammed a baseclearing, stand-up double to left center that plated teammates Nick Corsaro and Steve Krauth for a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning. The Blue Devils countered in the top of the second when Justin Italiano drilled the ball through the gap, and Will Vollack sprinted home to tie the game. In the next inning, Vollack’s bat cracked again when he sent the ball to right center, scoring Steven Napurano from second, as Huntington retook the lead. With two outs, the Blue Devils looked to stretch their lead with runners at the corners, but the batter was caught looking to end the inning. After another Mahnke double, first baseman Sean McGuinnes sent the ball into the air, which was carried by the wind to help send Mahnke across home plate to retie the game, 3-3. “Both teams played hard,” McGuinnes said. “I thought Huntington would be [tough] after their win against West Islip, smacked a pitch deep to right center next, to score. Italiano scored but we did well today.” from second base to again Centereach looked to take the lead, 4-3, in the break the game open, top of the fourth. and with an infield hit by “They had the timely hits, Robert Maina that loaded and we didn’t,” Huntington the bases with one out, it head coach William Harris seemed as if it could be said. “We left a lot of runners done. If Luke Eidle, Hunon base, so it’s a tough loss tington’s starting pitcher, for us today. It’s a lost opporfelt the pressure, he didn’t tunity. They had some good show it. He retired the Cougars’ next two batters — William Harris pitching today, and that kept them in the game.” to get out of the jam. Centereach went back to work counterHuntington right fielder Ethan Copp ing when Corsaro doubled to start things off. Krauth’s bat spoke next, as the left fielder hit the ball deep, just dropping in to plate Corsaro to retie the game. Despite a Huntington conference on the mound, Mahnke ripped his third stand-up double of the afternoon, driving in Corsaro as Centereach edged ahead 5-4. “Our team pulled out the win,” Mahnke said. “We hit the ball timely with two outs, and [starting pitcher] Eric Russo did his job and that gave us a chance to win.” Centereach designated hitter Brian Honka singled into the gap next to bring Mahnke home for a 6-4 advantage. Again, Eidle loaded the bases when he walked Maina, but the Blue Devils’ defense rose to the challenge, as all three Cougars were stranded to end the inning. Centereach’s Ed Bassett relieved Russo, and Huntington fell into new-pitcher jitters, as the Blue Devils laid off the pitcher, which proved costly as he threw strike after strike. Forced to make contact, and with a runner on third, the Blue Devils threatened, but the Cougars’ defense was more than ready.

Clockwise from top left, Huntington starting pitcher luke Eidle throws from the mound; Matt Montefusco slides safely back to first base on a pitckoff attempt; Ethan Copp slams the ball into the outfield; and Thomas Stock makes contact. “Today they came to play — they can hit from No. 1 to No. 9 — they put the bat on the ball,” Centereach head coach Michael Herrschaft said of Huntington.“Eric [Russo] did a gutsy job for us is how I would describe it. Then, Eddie [Bassett] coming in and closing us out throwing strikes — that was big for us — not walking anyone and letting us make a play. He did what he’s supposed to do and that was awesome.” Centereach traveled to Huntington April 12 for the second game of a threegame series, but results were not available by press time. The two will face off at Centereach again April 15 at 3 p.m. “We’re going to come back at them with our No. 2 starter and hopefully have a better [performance],” Harris said following the game-one loss. “I’ve see better stuff out of our No. 1 guy — he battled. We were in the game, we still had a chance to win.”

The TBR staff smiles during the annual People of the Year dinner.

Think we’re missing something? Tell us Last weekend the TBR News Media staff trekked up to Saratoga Springs for the New York Press Association’s spring conference. The two-day event was full of lectures from leaders and innovators in our field, and we left feeling reinvigorated as we headed back to our Setauket newsroom. One of the lectures, called “Community 360,” focused on throwing out the playbook for covering community news and figuring out how to best cover the changing and diverse areas we live in with new technology. The lecture was quite an eye-opener for us and made the editorial staff self-evaluate the level of coverage we’re providing to our readers. So this is where you come in. If you think there is an area, an issue, an event or a group we’re not covering sufficiently enough — or even at all — we want you to reach out to us. We want to know about every single issue our readers think is important. Of course, there are going to be moments where you know more than we do. So share anything and everything you think we might be missing. If we already covered something, but you think a part of the story was left out, let us know. We want to provide the best service we can, because we’re in this business to inform our readers about the most important news going on in their area. You’re our eyes and ears, and our storytelling would get us nowhere if it weren’t for the information, the sources, the news and the comments you provide.

Calling climate change a fact doesn’t make it such Calling something a fact doesn’t make it a fact, even if you shout. Just because you or a majority of your chosen writers and selected scientists have an opinion — that doesn’t settle anything. Most newspapers at least make an ostensible attempt at balanced reporting, presenting responsible viewpoints for all sides of an issue. Your climate change edition was 16 pages of crafted propaganda, not journalism.

The greatest (by far) of all scientists, artists and inventors has given this assurance: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” (Genesis 8:22) Not throwing trash on the roadside would do more for the Long Island environment than grandiose slogans like “save the planet,” government pork barrels for special interests, thinly veiled

masks for global Marxism and demagoguery-induced neuroses in impressionable captive students. Our personal exits or Christ’s return will put a sudden end to our life on this planet long before we will need to deal with Earth’s demise by climate change. Prepare for that.

Protect your private browsing history In the 21st century, it is so important that we are able to maintain our privacy on the internet. Since the founding of our nation, we have valued personal privacy as an essential right, and in the modern age, the internet should be included under the same protections. What I do on the web is my own business, and the thought that my information may be bought and sold is absolutely horrifying. In case you had not heard, the House of Representatives recently voted on S.J. Resolution 34, which would roll back privacy protections on the internet. Thankfully, our representative, Lee Zeldin, voted against this legislation. This resolution would overturn a Federal Communications

Commission, or FCC, rule which requires a consumer’s consent before an internet provider sells that person’s data. Essentially, a corporation like Verizon or Optimum may have the power to sell your web history without you knowing and without your permission. This is an astounding breach of privacy. Worse still is how the FCC might be banned from creating similar protections in the years going forward. The right to privacy is a constitutionally guaranteed right, and this resolution violates it in every way, shape, and form. I’d like to thank Congressman Zeldin for going against party lines and voting no. I’ve always believed in people over

party, and this shows that Lee Zeldin actually takes time to review legislation and make an informed decision before voting, instead of so many other lawmakers who simply do as they’re told by party leaders. We need more legislators like him who recognize bad laws when they see them and will do what is right for our country. It’s a relief to know that we have someone like Lee Zeldin representing us in Congress. Shame on every representative who voted for this awful resolution. Let’s just hope no one sells YOUR browsing history.

OpiniOn The solid wisdom of youth

hen I was in college, I wrote an essay in a seminar. In such a small class, we read everyone else’s writings each week and needed to be prepared to share our observations or else face the ignominy of our teacher either excusing us from the room or glaring at us until we cracked. One of the other writers had written this spectacular story about four people at a dinner party. She had moved the reader through the thoughts of each of the characters, until she got to the fourth person, whose social anxiety receded when he started choking. His inability to conBy Daniel Dunaief trol noises that interrupted her stories irritated his wife, who glared at

him until he read her vexed expression and retreated to the kitchen. Separated from the group, he choked to death. The ending was so powerful that I was sure my prose was inferior. When my turn came, I waited through the usual polite beginning, as my classmates shared what they thought worked. Great, I thought, it won’t take long before we transition to the unnerving category of “what could he have done better.” It took some time before people starting quibbling with my choice of words. Certainly, I could maneuver through the minor discomfort of a new word here or a different turn of phrase there. Professor Brilliance sat in his green corduroy pants, with his oversized left foot rising and falling diagonally above his right knee to his rhythm, tilting his head to the side, awaiting a worthy insight. “Well,” he said, scanning the room slowly, “has anyone spotted clichés?” Oh no! Clichés? Clichés! I thought I had scrubbed out the clichés. I

quickly scanned words that floated unevenly above the page, hoping to find any and expose them before anyone else did. His foot stopped, and so did my breathing. “No,” he nodded slowly, “I didn’t see any, either.” This had to be only a temporary respite before the scissors started slicing. “Now, let’s go over the introduction to this fine piece,” he said. Was that sarcasm? Did he mean that it was fine, or was he acknowledging its shortcomings? As we went line by line through the piece, my writing held up to the scrutiny. Some of my classmates even defended a few phrases, suggesting that they found them perfectly fine just as they were. The professor saved his lone arrow for his final remark. “This is a solid piece of writing,” he said, before adding, “for someone your age.” And there it was, ladies and gentlemen. The backhanded compliment

that sent me back to the children’s table, wondering what the adults might be discussing. Now that I’m older than Professor Brilliance was when he shared that line, I have considered whether he had a point and the answer is, yes and no. My experiences have changed my perspective. I recognize the value of history, even if I despised memorizing dates and names for a test. I also understand the Chinese devotion to their elders, not because I’m older, but because I have an increasing appreciation for all the decisions my parents and their generation made. At the same time, when I hear the ideas my children share, I don’t minimize them in the context of their shorter lives. Instead, I recognize the wisdom that comes from their experiences in a handheld techno world they maneuver through more deftly than I. All these years later, I guess I’d have a comeback to my professor’s observation. “Maybe you’re right,” I’d say, “or, maybe, I’m young enough to know better.”
