The four girls were killed when Steven Romeo, 55, T-boned their limousine with

his pickup truck in Cutchogue last Saturday, injuring Romeo, along with limo driver Carlos Pino, 58, of Bethpage, Joelle Dimonte, 25, of Elwood, Melissa Angela Crai, 23, of Scarsdale, Alicia Arundel, 24, of Setauket, and Olga Lipets, 24, of Brooklyn.

Town pushes to spruce up Main Street lot By phil corSo

A vacant lot that used to be home to a lumberyard, across the street from Town Hall in Smithtown, is in the Town Board’s crosshairs. A recent waiver request from the applicant in charge of the 102 W. Main Street property set off a somewhat heated debate at Town Hall, when Smithtown Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R) called out VEA 181st Realty Corp. for what he referred to as a lack of good faith in bettering the space. In the application, developer Salvatore DiCarlo requested the

gigantic pile of concrete slabs at the site be ground on the premises in a move that Smithtown Planning Director David Flynn said could reduce truck traffic in the area. At a work session earlier this month, Flynn told the board that DiCarlo needed to remove the concrete slabs from the property in order to grind them down and install a roughly 5-foot mound of vegetation in its place, as the property moves forward into development. Flynn said there was likely more material than necessary for future building LOT continued on page a4

Noselli was pronounced dead at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in

Smithtown, police said. The driver, a 25-year-old Smithtown woman, was not hurt. Police impounded the car, a 2006 Nissan Murano, for a safety check. Detectives from the SCPD’s 4th Squad are investigating the incident. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call them at 631-854-8452.

Smithtown fire marshals bust bare massage parlor Suggestive Internet advertisements promote Asian girls By Phil Corso

An office building on West Jericho Turnpike in Smithtown was allegedly used as a front to house an illegal massage parlor, Smithtown officials said in a statement on July 22. Smithtown Public Safety Department fire marshals busted the parlor on July 19 around 2 p.m. operating out of 811 W. Jericho Turnpike to find what Chief John Valentine, department director, described as an elaborate hidden facility with multiple bedrooms, each holding three to four young Asian women. Officials cited suggestive advertisements for the space on Backpage.com, promising patrons body rubs from Korean and Japanese girls for $60 to $70. Valentine said the fire marshals acted in response to a request for assistance from the Smithtown Fire Department to find the parlor, filled with young Asian women in “various stages of undress.” Upon their entry, Valentine said a roughly 35-year-old Asian woman confronted the fire marshals

and tried to block their entrance into the location. “The unidentified females and several apparent patrons fled the location upon entry,” Valentine said. “Suffolk County Police 4th Precinct officers were contacted and responded to the location.” Inside, officials found what Valentine described as suggestive advertising and photographs promoting the services. Subsequent online searches posted that same day on Backpage. com advertised a grand opening for cash-only massage services with several provocative photos of young Asian women. The posting was listed under a “Long Island body rubs” thread. An ongoing investigation was put into motion through the Public Safety Department, and fire marshals have uncovered multiple violations of the fire and property maintenance codes as well as town code violations, including interfering with emergency personnel, Valentine said. It was not clear whether criminal charges would be filed.

day, Spota said Romeo had recorded a blood alcohol content level of .066 percent when he was tested roughly one hour after the crash. The DWI charge, however, was not dropped and no additional charges were given to Romeo as the investigation continued despite his BAC coming in below the legal limit of .08, Spota said. Romeo’s court date, which was originally set for last week, was adjourned to Sept. 18. The past week saw the funerals of all four of the victims, while those injured were released from hospital care by the middle of this week. The North Shore community took one of its first steps toward closure on Wednesday night as residents flooded Smithtown High School West in the company of elected officials and members of Mothers Against Drunk Driving with hopes of moving forward. The event was borne out of a Facebook page titled “Candlelight Vigil for Our Girls,” which was put into action in the days following the

tragedy. By Wednesday, the page had collected more than 6,000 names to its roster and countless photos of mourning and support for victims’ families. Marianne Howard, executive director with the Smithtown Historical Society, was one of the several Smithtown residents to tie red ribbons around trees in front of the society’s property. She said various businesses throughout town, including Towers Flowers of Nesconset and James Cress Florist of Smithtown, helped donate the ribbons to the cause. “We mourn the loss of four beautiful souls who were taken too early from our community,” she said. “We send our deepest condolences to their families and friends. May they rest in peace.” Chabad at Stony Brook also signed onto the cause of finding good in a tragic situation, launching its own Facebook event page, “responding to dark, with light” in memory of the four girls and challenging residents to commit 400 random acts of goodness and kindness in their honor. Chaya Klein Grossbaum of Chabad at Stony Brook said once the 400-goal was reached, the group would print a book that details each singular act.

on the property, thus making it difficult for the developer to have to truck materials back and forth between the property and an offsite location. “Reducing truck traffic is in the public good,” Flynn said, while discussing the waiver request with the Town Board. “The applicant already agreed to abide to conditions beyond what the town code requires. He’s volunteering to slightly more stringent requirements as it is.” Vecchio, however, was not impressed by the suggestion, and contended that the request to grind concrete on-site was nothing more than an attempt to save money. “When is he going to build? What is his endeavor here?” Vecchio said. “When does he show some good faith?” Vecchio said he would not vote in favor of a waiver request for DiCarlo, and instead said it was time for him “to put the pedal to the metal.” DiCarlo could not be reached for comment. Flynn said the applicant had received approval to build three-story

apartments at the site, with retail space on the ground floors. He also said he was unaware of any specific target date in terms of construction at the property. DiCarlo, who Flynn said took on the property about 10 years ago, was granted a special exception back in 2013 that allowed him to build apartments on the site, but he has yet to file an updated site plan for construction. The town approved a site plan for demolition in July 2014 and two vacant buildings on the site have been razed over the last several months. Town Councilman Bob Creighton (R) said the applicant has been trying to build on the site for years, but has encountered countless obstacles preventing him from doing so on the town level. Vecchio, however, fired back that the town’s hands were clean when it came to the inactivity at the spot. “He hasn’t done anything in good faith,” he said. “I find it horrible. I think that’s a no-no.” The discussion was tabled upon request from Councilman Tom McCarthy (R) pending a meeting with the property owner, with Creighton ending the debate by calling on his fellow board members to give DiCarlo a chance.

Mosquito sample from RP tests positive for West Nile By Erika karp

Mosquito samples from Port Jefferson Station, Rocky Point and East Northport have tested positive for West Nile virus, Suffolk County Health Services Commissioner James Tomarken announced on Friday. In total, six mosquito samples tested positive for the virus, bringing this year’s total to 13. While the insects were infected, no humans, horses or birds have tested positive for the virus in Suffolk County this year. Two samples collected from Port Jefferson Station on July 14, one sample collected from Rocky Point on July 16 and one sample collected from East Northport on July 17 tested positive, according to a press release from the health services department. Two other samples were gathered from Copiague and Dix Hills. West Nile virus was first detected in birds and mosquito samples in Suffolk County in 1999 and is transmitted to humans by mosquito bites. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70 to 80 percent of those infected with the virus do not develop any of the symptoms, which can include fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea and rash. Severe cases — less than 1 percent of infections — could

TBR

lead to a neurological illness. Tomarken said while there is no cause for alarm, his department is asking residents to help in their efforts to reduce the exposure to the virus. First, residents should try to eliminate stagnant water where mosquitoes breed. Popular breeding grounds include tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots, discarded tires, wading pools, wheelbarrows and birdbaths. In addition, residents can make sure their roof gutters are draining properly, clean debris from the edges of ponds and drain water from pool covers. To avoid mosquito bites, residents should minimize outdoor activities between dusk and dawn, cover up when mosquitoes are most active, use repellent and make sure windows and doors have screens in good repair. To report dead birds, which may indicate the presence of the virus, residents should call the county’s West Nile virus hotline at 631-787-2200 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Residents are encouraged to take a photograph of any bird in question. To report mosquito problems or stagnant pools of water, call the vector control division at 631-852-4270. For medical-related questions, call 631-854-0333.

This year, 13 mosquito samples have tested positive for West Nile virus.

North Shore man sentenced 25 years for cop hit-and-run Chad Morizsan pleads guilty to charges last week By Victoria Espinoza

A Northport man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to running down two Suffolk County police officers last year and critically injuring one of them. Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota said that Chad Morizsan, who was sentenced on Thursday, July 23, waived his right to appeal and pleaded guilty to assault in the first degree, assault on a police officer, leaving the scene, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, robbery in the second degree and forgery. Last September, Morizsan sped off in a stolen SUV after being pulled over by officers Nicholas Guerrero and Heriberto Lugo at a traffic stop in Huntington. He struck both officers as he fled the scene, critically injuring Guerrero. Bob Clifford, a spokesman for Spota, said Guerrero was in the courtroom at Morizsan’s sentencing. Guerrero was hospitalized for more than three weeks with a severe head injury at Stony Brook University Hospital. He underwent surgery and a regimen of physical therapy during his recovery. He has been with the police department for four years. His partner, Lugo, was treated and released. Once Morizsan fled the scene, along with his co-defendant and passenger Nicholas Franzone of Northport, police said they carjacked a Ford Explorer, stole the credit cards of the 87-year-old owner of the Explorer in her Commack driveway and stole gas from a gas station in the area. The two were arrested at a Central Islip store hours later when police said they attempted to purchase a television with the woman’s stolen credit card.

chad Moriszan, of northport, is served a 25-year prison sentence. Below, police officer nick Guerrero is transferred into an ambulance to be transported to rehab.

Attorney Ian Fitzgerald, who is representing Franzone, has said that Franzone had nothing to do with the hitand-run. “He was in the back seat of the car,” Fitzgerald said in a previous interview. “He had nothing to do with Mr. Morizsan fleeing and injuring the officer … he had no control over the vehicle.” Franzone is set to return to court on Aug. 4, charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle for his alleged role in the carjacking incident, police said. Daniel Guttmann, who is listed in online court records as Morizsan’s attorney, didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment on Tuesday.

Sigma Psi Omega chapter members are required to contribute some of their own money to gather appropriate supplies for each program they organize. According to Gerrard, there is a high demand for the chapter’s services that “people are just waiting because they don’t have direction. They don’t know where to reach out to,” Gerrard said. As a result, some individuals respond within a week of the chapter reaching out to them. On many occasions, the communities this chapter serves are not aware of information available on the importance of going green or managing finances. The sorority does not just give back by providing the programs, but they are also teachers to those who do not have access to various resources. But like any other group, working with

members of the chapter is not always easy. “It’s a sisterhood. It’s a lifetime commitment so you get a lot of fulfillment,” Garrard said. “Sometimes you get frustrated ... but you find the strength from each sister.” The chapter has retreats where members can resolve tension and strategize plans for a program or community in need. “Each community is different,” Shelton said. “Going in and finding what that need is and being able to help them succeed ... even if it’s one life.” Going forward, both Shelton and Gerrard want to continue their efforts and continue their founder’s purpose by helping communities that require their services. “I think that it was phenomenal to have an organization that is still around for that long and it’s still growing strong,” Gerrard said. “It makes us know that whatever we are doing, we’re doing it for a cause and it’s ... making our founders proud to continue their legacy.”

PEOPLE Gridiron crew moves a mountain (of rock)

The Commack High School football team used their muscle to remove a truckload of rocks from around the district’s 9/11 memorial. Gardens will surround the three newly planted “Survivor Trees” added to the memorial. A callery pear tree became known as the “Survivor Tree” after enduring the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks at the World Trade Center. In October 2001, the tree was discovered at Ground Zero severely damaged, with snapped roots and burned and broken branches. It was removed and rehabilitated. The tree was returned to the memorial in 2010. The Survivor Tree embodies our nation’s spirit of hope and healing, strength and resilience in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. On Sept. 11, at 6:30 p.m., the district will hold its 14th annual Candlelight Night of Remembrance Ceremony on the Heroes Memorial Track at Commack High School. The “Flags of Freedom” will line the roadway (Scholar Lane) and the ceremony is dedicated to patriotism, remembrance, tolerance and resiliency. The Survivor Trees will be dedicated at the ceremony. More than a decade after Sept. 11, 2001, the Commack community will fill the bleachers to commemorate those who perished, and those still suffering from the horrific events of that day. All are welcome to attend the ceremony.

The team removes rocks and works on the memorial.

Horticultural society awards scholarships At their June meeting, the Long Island Horticultural Society awarded scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each to two outstanding Long Island students who are both pursuing postgraduate education in horticulture. They are Gina Sideli of Nesconset and Ariel Elizabeth Churnin of Brooklyn. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in biology (environmental) from Stony Brook University on Long Island and a master’s degree in biology (botany concentration) from the California State University at Chico, Gina will begin working toward her doctorate from the Horticulture and Agronomy program at the University of California, Davis, in the fall. Her interest in this area was cemented by her experience as a volunteer with Youth With A Mission, a nonprofit organization offering agricultural development projects to underprivileged communities in Asia. Her career goal, and her passion, is to use her knowledge to improve crop production and sustainability. Global food security has been recognized by scientists as an appreciable concern, and Gina is hoping to contribute viable solutions. Ariel, a talented artist, earned a bachelor’s degree in studio art, with a minor in art history, from Dartmouth College and a master’s degree from the New York Studio School. Her interest in horticulture developed while tending and experimenting with plants on the balcony of her Brooklyn apartment. In the fall of 2014, Ariel enrolled in Farmingdale State College’s Department of Urban Horticulture and Design. It was there she discovered the field of landscape design, an area that perfectly blends her passions for art, horticulture and people. Her goal is to own her own business specializing in the needs of the growing demographic of urban gardeners. Founded in 1934, the Long Island Horticultural Society meets monthly at Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay and offers its members year-round educational programs, events and tours of gardens here and abroad. Membership is open to all Long Island gardeners, whether they are professionals or enthusiastic amateurs. More information about the LIHS, including its scholarship program, can be found at www. lihort.org.

was a better football player at the time, too.” Biggio had received interest from major football programs such as Boston College and Oklahoma State University, among others, but Johnson said the schools were looking at him as a punt and kickoff returner — a rough position on the body for any athlete, let alone a 5-foot, 10-inch, 165-pound high school senior. “That’s not a safe occupation in football when you’re undersized,” Johnson said. “When we found out what colleges were going to do with him, right away we were a little nervous that he was just going to get so banged up. Then the Seton Hall scholarship fell into place.” St. John’s head baseball coach Ed Blankmeyer, then an assistant coach at Seton Hall University under Mike Sheppard — and now Blankmeyer’s father-in-law — was responsible for recruiting Biggio to the Pirates. Blankmeyer said it was Biggio’s hardnosed style of play, in spite of his small stature, that initially struck him. “He played bigger than his size,” said Blankmeyer, who has amassed 688 wins in his 19 seasons as head coach of the Red Storm. “He had some outstanding skills. He could run like the wind, he could hit, he had outstanding instinct, but whether he played good or bad, you always found something good about Craig Biggio and the way he played the game. He played with an intensity; he played with a big heart. You had to go away liking the guy, that’s what it was. I just loved the way he played.” Despite the multitude of football offers and a draft selection by the Detroit Tigers out of high school, Blankmeyer signed Biggio. “Not many coaches can say they’ve had an opportunity to recruit and coach a big league player,” said Blankmeyer when asked about

the satisfaction in knowing he signed Biggio. “But a guy who played 20 years with one organization, who played three positions, an All-Star and now a Hall of Famer? Boy I tell you, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime situation.” After Seton Hall’s catcher Tony DeFrancesco was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 1984, there was a spot to fill at backstop. Sheppard called upon his star recruit, who had experience at catcher, to move back behind the plate. “Craig used to call himself the retriever who became a receiver because he used to chase the ball back to the backstop,” Sheppard told WSOU, Seton Hall’s student radio station. “But let me tell you, he was so fast he could chase it to the backstop and still throw the guy out at first base.” Biggio played on a Seton Hall squad consisting of future major leaguers Mo Vaughn, CRAIG BIGGIO continued on page A13

Off the field, Biggio converted to Catholicism and met his future wife, Patty. “Seton Hall is very special to us,” Patty Biggio said. “It’s where our family began. It’s the roots of our relationship.” Sheppard’s teams prided themselves on a scrappy style of baseball. Biggio said that it was simply the culture of the athletics program at the time, playing on a field he described as a “dirty, nasty bubble.” A far cry from the current playing grounds of the well-manicured turf of Owen T. Carroll Field. Most of all, Biggio said he remembers a common phrase of coach Sheppard. “Coach Shep’s motto was, ‘Never lose your hustle,’ which is something I took to

my pro career,” he said in his speech. What many do not know, however, is “He was part of the journey,” Biggio Biggio’s extensive charity work, particularly said in his post-induction press conference. as the national spokesman for the Sunshine “How do you get to the Hall of Fame?

The first three words of Biggio’s Hall of Fame plaque read “gritty spark plug,” an appropriate description of a player known for giving it his all in every game. In return, the game of baseball has given the local paperboy from Kings Park turned-MLB great an even greater gift, immortality. “I gave the game everything I had every day,” Biggio said. “In baseball, tomorrow is not guaranteed, and I tried to play every game as if it was going to be my last. I want to thank the game for everything. The game has given me everything: my family, my friends, respect, but most of all memories of a lifetime.”

OPINION ediToriAL

‘New day’ in Smithtown politics

File photo by Elana Glowatz

Charity shouldn’t be seasonal. Donate money or food during the summer, when some school children who rely on school lunch programs need it the most.

Step up to the plate

every fall and winter, good-hearted Long islanders far and wide reach into their pockets to donate goods and food in the spirit of the holidays. it’s so easy to imagine life without a jacket or a warm Thanksgiving dinner when it’s November or december. You won’t have to look hard to find numerous coat drives and food drives around that time of the year. And that’s a great thing. But it’s not enough. Summer hunger pangs exist right in our own backyard. And they are growing islandwide — particularly among children who rely on school lunch programs but don’t have access to that food during the summer. island harvest Food Bank, a hunger relief organization on Long island, reported earlier this month that it expanded its summer food service program. Last summer, they served 103,000 meals to 3,500 kids at 49 sites throughout the island. This year, they anticipate dishing out more than 175,000 meals to about 4,000 children at 55 sites. Those are some eye-opening figures, especially when you consider what we already know about hunger on Long island. A 2010 national study prepared for island harvest and another nonprofit, Long island Cares, claims 283,7000 people on Long island receive emergency food each year. of that group, 39 percent are under 18 years old. For many of us who are fortunate, summer is our kick-back-and-relax season — a chance for us to embark on those sun-soaked vacations and long weekend trips or just leave work early on Fridays. But there are many of us who can’t afford to do that, and constantly struggle to make ends meet. We urge our fellow Long islanders to channel the holiday spirit this summer. Pitch in by donating money, your time or food. Grab a cardboard box your local deli may not need and bring it to the office — get your co-workers in on it — and collect some food. donate the box to your local food pantry. Charity shouldn’t be seasonal. it’s time we step up to the plate all year long.

To The ediTor: An enthusiastic crowd of supporters, including U.S. Congressional candidates david Calone and Anna Throne-holst, attended town council candidate Larry Vetter’s campaign kickoff event — a rock ’n’ roll barbecue at Katie’s of Smithtown last Saturday afternoon. Larry Vetter opened the festivities by saying, “This is a new day in Smithtown politics. Today marks the beginning of the “new” democratic Party of Smithtown. it’s time for democrats to once again have a voice on the town board — i’m focused on winning.” “i’m proud to be the first candidate to carry the banner for the New democratic Party of Smithtown,” continued Vetter. “i pledge to campaign vigorously for every vote — from democrats like you, independents and, yes, republicans too. With your help, we will deliver the New democratic Party of Smithtown’s message of government accountability, financial responsibility and enhanced quality of life to all the voters of Smithtown this fall.” Smithtown democratic Chairman ed Maher added, “i want to thank everyone here for helping spread the word among your friends, family and neighbors — regardless of their party registration — that this is the New democrat Party of Smithtown. We’re challenging the status quo. We’re focused on making Smithtown the best community on Long island — now and for future generations.” Vetter concluded, “With your help, as your next councilman, i am going to demand government accountability. The myth of the GoP being

Not much satisfaction with these kidney stones

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

I

am now a member of a club that I would just as soon not have joined. It started with vomiting. I haven’t vomited in so long that my wife and daughter had never seen, or heard, the process. My daughter said I shriek in a scare-the-bats-outof-a-tree way just before releasing the contents of my stomach. After this vomiting episode, I

questioned what I’d eaten, what new allergies I might have developed or what stomach bug or virus I might have picked up. Vomiting, however, was only one of a host of symptoms, including extreme lower abdominal pain that radiated to my back. I had kidney stones. My taller brothers don’t have kidney stones. Did I hit the genetic jackpot: crooked teeth, nearsightedness, vertically challenged and, gulp, kidney stones? Is it possible — and I’m hoping this is the case — that my diet somehow caused this excruciating experience and, as such, I’ll have some control over my kidney future? When I said the words “kidney stones” in public, I saw a universal sympathy and support, even from people who are less than thrilled to see or hear from me. “Oh, man, I gave birth to four kids and none of the deliveries was anything like the pain of having kidney stones,” one woman

confided as she offered a reassuring squeeze of my arm. Of course, after the little, lifealtering intruders come out of our kidneys, bladders or anywhere in between, they don’t smile broadly at us, learn to walk and share an unending love — and the occasional sneer — with us. They’re just a hard pebble that uses our nerve endings like tightly wound strings on a violin of pain. “My brother is a firefighter, built his house with his own hands and catches pitches without a baseball glove. I’ve never seen him as uncomfortable as he was when he had kidney stones. He was crying on the floor of the emergency room,” another woman recalled. A friend said the pain embraced his abdomen, back and legs. He could barely move until he’d ejected the stones. Other than the vomiting, the thing that struck me, literally, about my kidney stones was how impossible it was to get comfortable. No position

helped: sitting, standing, praying with my head down and backside up. Pacing the room, putting my arms over my head, pulling out the hairs on my leg and curling my toes under my feet as I walked did nothing to distract me from the acute agony. “One to 10 on a pain scale?” the emergency room nurse asked me on my first hospital visit. “11,” I muttered, as I crouched next to the hospital bed in a catcher’s position. “Sit here, honey,” she offered. “I can’t,” I whined. After glancing at my face, she raced out of the room and jogged back with an IV and painkillers. Even strangers rallied around me. I called to cancel a hotel reservation within moments of the allowable policy. When I mentioned kidney stones, the operator promised to hold the reservation past the usual time and would allow me to cancel the next day, free of charge, if I couldn’t make it. When I called the following

I saw a universal sympathy and support. morning after a brutal night, she wished me a quick end to my kidney stone saga. Eventually, when it was clear my stone wasn’t rolling itself out of my body, I had a procedure to remove it with its own aftercare challenges. My recovery, despite some pain, is considerably more comfortable than the agony of a kidney stone. I’m hoping some time down the road, a medical miracle worker turns these particular stones to rubble before they bring their unwelcome pain again.

The overwhelming responsibility of being a parent

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

N

o. 1 son turned 50 this week, and while that may have been a shock to him, it was also a shock to me. After properly celebrating the occasion with the family, I am left with the astonishing thought that I have been a parent for 50 years. What does it mean to be a parent? For starters, I know that the single biggest difference in my life, and I suspect in most

people’s lives, comes with having a child. Getting married isn’t such a dramatic change, especially today when dating for years before marriage has become more the norm. Accommodating another adult into one’s daily routine, if done incrementally and with someone of compatible outlook, isn’t all that jarring. But just put a newborn baby into the mix and any semblance of order and predictability goes right out the window. A newborn brings instant humility to the parents. Even downright terror. One of the most appealing qualities in the man who eventually became my husband was his desire to have children. His eagerness matched my own. Now I know there are some who do not wish to procreate but, for us, the prospect of loving and raising children was as natural as taking the next breath. This is not a carefully thought-out ideology — it is, for many, just instinct. So then why was I so terrified when we brought that little

package of squirming baby home from the hospital and laid him in the middle of our king-size bed? It’s one thing to think about dishing out gobs of love in the abstract. It’s another when the love is commensurate with responsibility. I don’t believe I ever thought about having a child in quite these stark terms: I was directly responsible for the survival of another human being. And there he was, in need of an immediate diaper change. I didn’t recognize the totality of my terror until I brought him to the pediatrician for his first-month checkup. The doctor weighed him and exclaimed that his healthy weight gain was “a result of his nursing.” Then the doctor measured him and carried on about his length. This kid was off the charts — he was destined to be center for the Knicks. That was the doctor’s reaction. Mine was an intense relief that the baby was going to live. With no prior experience or exposure to infants, I was afraid

that I would inadvertently cause his demise. And without realizing it, I had silently lived with that fear for a whole month. The sense of responsibility for another’s life can be overwhelming. It is certainly built into our architecture, to a greater or lesser degree, for the rest of our lives. Their pain is our pain. And alternately, their successes are our successes. Little did I know that the first month of a baby’s life is, in some ways, the easiest time with a child — except for the fatigue factor. All one has to do is diaper, bathe, feed and burp an average newborn before putting him or her down to sleep. The harder parts come later — and also the more satisfying ones. Someone said to me, “Once a parent, always a parent.” That is a truism. Yes, children grow up, they learn and mature, they achieve and they marry, they may even go on to have children of their own. They are always our children, even if they are 50, or 47, or 46 — the ages of my three sons. And while I

happily and consciously lifted the weight of responsibility for their lives off my shoulders and mentally placed it on theirs at the time of their majority, I am still and forever will be the parent. And nothing I have ever done in my life has given me greater satisfaction. In the course of our lives, theirs and mine, they have become my helpmates and advisers, my playmates and my friends. They now share a sense of responsibility for my life. It goes both ways, this caring. But the relationship will always be asymmetrical. Someone else once said, “If children loved their parents as much as parents love their children, the human race would come to an end. The children would never leave home.”
