Wehrheim, Inzerillo lead race for GOP line Incumbent Councilman Bob Creighton sits at bottom of Smithtown’s three-way Republican primary results By Phil Corso

The Republican primary in Smithtown on Sept. 10 saw an incumbent fall to the bottom of the pack in the town board race, but only by a slim margin. Councilman Bob Creighton (R) came in third out of three candidates seeking the Republican line in November’s general election. The other two, incumbent Councilman Ed Wehrheim (R) and challenger Lisa Inzerillo came in first and second, respectively, all but assuring them Republican spots, according to unofficial Suffolk County Board of Elections results. By the morning after last Thursday’s vote, Wehrheim had collected 40.49 percent of the vote — 1,673 total votes — and Inzerillo earned 31.27 percent, or 1,292 total votes. Creighton came in close behind Inzerillo with 27.81 percent — 1,149 votes. Creighton had focused much of his primary bid on development in Smithtown that he said could attract new business to the community. He has served on the town board since 2008 and has been a longtime ally of Wehrheim, often aligning with him in critical votes put before the board over recent years.

“There are still some 200-odd absentee ballots to count, but I have no illusions about that,” Creighton said. “I lost, period.” Creighton said he attributed part of the loss to low voter turnout, with just about 7 percent of Smithtown Republicans hitting the polls. The councilman also said he had full intentions of still running on the Independent, Conservative and Reform party lines come November, whether or not absentee ballots salvage his primary bid later next week. Wehrheim has been on the board since 2003 and said in a previous interview that he would like to use another term to work on funding more projects to revitalize Smithtown’s downtown area. In a phone interview, the councilman said torrential downpours throughout the voting hours may have had an impact on voter turnout, which was slightly lower than the average primary. “I am very pleased with my position as No. 1 in the race, but I do believe the weather certainly had an effect on the voter turnout,” he said. “The board, as of late, is fairly divided, but I have a long tenure with the town and I will continue to do what I’ve always done. I will go in there, and work on

behalf of the Smithtown resident.” Inzerillo, a business owner from Kings Park, focused her campaign on making Smithtown’s downtown business district more vibrant. She declared victory following last Thursday’s vote in a statement, looking forward to discussing the town’s most pressing issues. “This grassroots campaign, fueled by family and friends, has inspired and humbled me and I am ready to represent the

Republican Party in November,” she said. Both Creighton’s and Wehrheim’s seats on the board will be up for a vote come November, with the incumbents facing off against Inzerillo and Democrat Larry Vetter, who announced his candidacy earlier this year. The winners will join incumbents not up for re-election: Supervisor Pat Vecchio, Councilman Tom McCarthy and Councilwoman Lynne Nowick — all Republicans.

Nesconset man brings first responders’ fight to D.C. North Shore natives travel to Washington with hopes of swaying lawmakers to renew health care benefits By Victoria Espinoza

The 9/11 first responders who have fought for years to get health care support are heading back to Washington, D.C., in hopes of ushering in the renewal of the James L. Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation Act. And for one Nesconset resident, change cannot come soon enough. Parts of the bill will expire next month, and other parts in October 2016. The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization Act would extend the programs of the original Zadroga act indefinitely. It was introduced to Congress in April and currently has 150 bipartisan co-sponsors. “When this bill expires, our illnesses do not expire,” said John Feal, founder of the FealGood Foundation, in a phone interview. Feal, of Nesconset, has been walking the halls of Congress for the past eight years to help get this bill passed. He is also a 9/11 first responder who worked on the reconstruction at Ground Zero, and lost half of his foot in the process. He suffered from gangrene, but he says his injuries “pale in comparison to other first responders.” President Barack Obama signed the current Zadroga act into law in 2011 and established the World Trade Center Health Program, which will expire in October if not renewed. The WTC program ensured that those whose health was affected by 9/11 would receive monitoring and treatment services for their health-related

problems. It consists of a responder program for rescue and recovery workers and New York City firefighters, and a survivor program for those who lived, worked or went to school in lower Manhattan on Sept. 11, 2001. The Zadroga act also reopened the September 11th Victims Compensation Act, which allows for anyone affected to file claims for economic losses due to physical harm or death caused by 9/11. That will expire in October of next year. Feal said he was asked by television personality Jon Stewart to come on “The Daily Show” in December 2010, but the Nesconset native said he did not want to leave the real legislative fight in D.C. Instead, he helped get four 9/11 responders to the Dec. 16, 2010, episode, who helped shed light on the ongoing battle these responders were dealing with in Congress. “He was definitely one of the reasons the bill got passed,” Feal said of Stewart. Stewart accompanied Feal and many other first responders when they traveled to Washington, D.C, on Wednesday, Sept. 16, and took part in a mini rally. The bill did not pass the first time it was presented to Congress back in 2006. A new version was drafted in 2010 and passed in the House of Representatives, but was having trouble getting through the Senate due to a Republican filibuster. The bill received final congressional approval on Dec. 22, 2010, and was enacted by the president on Jan. 2, 2011. “As we get older these illnesses will become debilitating,” Feal said. “Not extending this bill is criminal. People will die without. It’s a life-saving piece

of legislation.” Jennifer McNamara, a Blue Point resident and president of The Johnny Mac Foundation, is also actively involved in the fight to keep responders health costs covered. Her late husband, John McNamara, passed away in 2009 from stage IV colon cancer. He was a New York City Firefighter and worked more than 500 hours at the World Trade Center in the aftermath of 9/11. He worked with responders to get support for the Zadroga bill before he died. “I made him a promise to continue to lend support to get this legislation passed,” Jennifer McNamara said in a phone interview. When her husband passed away, she said there weren’t as

many responders getting sick as there are now. “People are dying more quickly, and more are getting diagnosed with cancers and other illnesses.” The two big issues that McNamara said she feels need to continue to be addressed are monitoring these diseases and coverage of costs once someone is diagnosed. McNamara said she believes that if there were better monitoring programs earlier on, her husband could’ve been diagnosed before his cancer was stage IV, and he could’ve had a better chance. “These people did tremendous things for their country,” McNamara said. “They shouldn’t have to guess about whether they are going to be taken care of.”

Smithtown’s 350th birthday bash continues By Victoria Espinoza

Smithtown has been celebrating its 350th anniversary through many celebrations and events this year, and there are still several more to come. Bradley Harris, town historian, formed the Smithtown 350 Foundation committee almost two years ago. “I wrote a letter to Supervisor [Pat] Vecchio that the town should plan significant events to inform the residents of the history of Smithtown on its 350th anniversary,” Harris said in a phone interview. Harris said Vecchio (R) then decided to have Harris form a committee specific to planning events for the anniversary. “My objective is to try and make an exciting year to remember, that will make people more familiar

with the town they live in,” Harris said in a phone interview. The first event the 350 committee held was The People of Smithtown, where author and historian Noel Gish presented a program on the cultural heritage ethnic peopling of Smithtown, pulling from history, personal photographs and recollections. In March a special town board meeting was held where board members, while wearing colonial garb, read the original patent for Smithtown in old English. Harris said it was “very funny.” At the meeting, a time capsule that was buried 50 years ago was opened up. The time capsule itself was an old milk can, and Harris said the smell “bowled everyone over.” Inside were items such as an old telephone book and pennies from the

More mosquitoes test positive for West Nile virus To date,158 mosquitos have been found

-desirée Keegan

143119

Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. James L. Tomarken announced today that 31 mosquito samples have tested positive for West Nile virus. The mosquito samples, all Culex pipiens-restuans, were collected from Sept. 1 through Sept. 3 from Lindenhurst (2), North Babylon (2), West Babylon (1), Copiague (3), Huntington (1) South Huntington (1), Huntington Station (1) Northport (1), Dix Hills (1), Smithtown (1), Nesconset (2), Holbrook (2), Holtsville (2), Farmingville (1), Stony Brook (2), Setauket (2), Port Jefferson Station (3), Rocky Point (1), East Hampton (1) and Southold (1). To date this year, 158 mosquito samples have tested positive for West Nile virus. No humans or horses have tested positive for the virus in Suffolk this year. First detected in birds and mosquito samples in Suffolk in 1999, and again each year thereafter, the virus is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. While Dr. Tomarken said there’s no cause for alarm, the county is urging residents to reduce exposure to the virus, which “can be debilitating to humans.” “The breed of mosquito known as culex pipiens/restuans lay their eggs in fresh water-filled containers, so dumping rainwater that collects in containers around your house is important,” he said. Residents should try to eliminate stagnant water where mosquitos breed, in order to reduce the mosquito population around homes. That includes: disposing of tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar water-holding containers; removing discarded tires; cleaning clogged gutters; turning over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when they’re not being used; changing the water in bird baths; and draining water from pool covers Most people infected with West Nile will experience mild or no symptoms, but some can develop severe symptoms, including high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. The symptoms may last several weeks and neurological effects may be permanent. Individuals, especially those 50 years of age or older or those with compromised immune systems, who are most at risk, are urged to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Residents are advised to avoid mosquito bites by: minimizing outdoor activities between dusk and dawn; wearing shoes and socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirts when outdoors for long periods of time or when mosquitos are more active; using mosquito repellent when outdoors, following label directions carefully; and making sure all windows and doors have screens and that all screens are in good condition. “The confirmation of West Nile virus in mosquito samples or birds indicates the presence of West Nile virus in the area,” said Dr. Tomarken. “While there is no cause for alarm, we urge residents to cooperate with us in our efforts to reduce the exposure to the virus, which can be debilitating to humans. The breed of mosquito known as Culex pipiens-restuans lay their eggs in fresh water-filled containers, so dumping rainwater that collects in containers around your house is important.” To report dead birds, call the West Nile virus hotline in Suffolk County 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 Department of Public Works’ Vector Control Division at 631-852-4270. For medical questions related to West Nile virus, call 631-854-0333.

Suffolk County moves to house homeless vets By Rohma aBBas

Suffolk County lawmakers have taken another step toward putting roofs over homeless veterans’ heads. On Sept. 9, the Suffolk County Legislature unanimously approved the transfer of eight tax-defaulted properties to nonprofit agencies that will, in turn, convert them into affordable rental housing for veterans who are homeless or seriously at risk of becoming homeless. The move is a significant component of Legislator Steve Stern’s (D) Housing our Homeless Heroes Act, a multipronged legislative package aimed at battling the war against veteran homelessness in Suffolk. Officials have said there are about 750 Long Island veterans who are either homeless or who are expected to be homeless by the end of 2015. Stern, who is chairman of the county’s Veterans and Seniors Committee, said the law is a worthy initiative and a way to truly give back to those who have served. “I’ve always said that we all need to do our part in serving those that have served us,” Stern said in a phone interview Friday. “But it can’t just be marching in a parade. It can’t just be waving a flag.” The nonprofits involved would foot the construction bill through possibly more than $10 million in state and federal grant funding available for such projects, Stern

said. Funding for the construction will be provided in part from the New York State Homeless Housing and Assistance Program and United States Department of Housing and Urban Development HOME Investment Partnerships Program. A total of 14 units of housing would be created among the eight properties that have been transferred, Stern said. Two parcels in Central Islip will be transferred to Concern for Independent Living Inc. for the construction of three single-family homes. Bay Shore-based United Veterans Beacon House Inc. has proposed to rehabilitate an existing home on a Copiague parcel and build a single-family unit on a Yaphank parcel. In addition, Association for Mental Health and Wellness is proposing to build a new four-bedroom house for three senior disabled veterans and a live-in house manager on two parcels in Mastic; rehabilitate a house in Riverhead for one veteran family; and build a new set of four, single-room occupancies for veterans on a parcel in Medford. “As an agency committed to ensuring empowering people to overcome the impact of health and mental health disabilities, it is our intent to devote these houses to assist male and female veterans who have been affected by serviceconnected and post-service transition mental health challenges,” said Michael

Veterans in need of housing could benefit from a new initiative by suffolk County.

Stoltz, chief executive officer of the association, in a previous statement. “I thank Suffolk County for partnering with our organization to further assist us in supporting our veterans.” Stern’s hoping the first unit to be completed — the Copiague parcel — will be built within a year. “The timing is going to be very varied depending on the particular locations,” he said. Housing our Homeless Heroes doesn’t stop at just housing. At the same meeting, the Legislature approved Helping Our Veterans lane (HOV lane) legislation, sponsored by Legislator Tom Cilmi (REast Islip) and Stern. The legislation’s goal is to expedite veteran services within the county’s Department of Social Services. Stern said many times, veterans walk into the county’s DSS for services they

may typically need from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and they are “turned away.” He said it becomes a challenge to get them to come back to a government assistance office. The HOV lane legislation would pair veterans who are seeking services at DSS with a veteran services officer. Their requests would be fast-tracked when they walk into the department — regardless of whether they’re at the right office. “That’s very important here, because veterans, too many of them, face too many challenges and time becomes very important,” Stern said. Stern said he’s proud of the enactment of Housing our Homeless Heroes. “I have every reason to believe that it’s going to serve as model for the rest of the country,” he said.

Smithtown FD helps save injured worker

The Smithtown Fire Department was toned out for an emergency response and rescue call on Sept. 9, at 1:01 p.m. near the intersection of 18 East Main St. and Lawrence Avenue. Smithtown’s emergency responders arrived on the scene to assist an injured construction worker on the roof of the west end of a shopping center. Upon arrival, 3rd Assistant Chief Patrick Diecidue requested help from a

tower ladder for a roof rescue of the construction worker. Company 7 positioned the ladder and sent the bucket to the roof with a stokes basket to move the worker down. The injured worker was removed from the roof and transported to Stony Brook University Hospital. His condition was not known. — Phil Corso

North Shore lawmaker pushes drug stewardship plan Kara Hahn’s prescription medicine take-back proposal aims to enhance Long Island’s drinking water quality By Phil Corso

A two-tiered piece of legislation on the county level is looking to tackle some of Long Island’s most pressing issues, from the medicine counter to the waterways, all in one fell swoop. A proposal to establish a drug stewardship program throughout the county could potentially build upon existing drug take-back programs, playing off recent legislation enacted in Alameda County, California, and ultimately keep drugs out of our drinking water, lawmakers said. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) introduced the piece of legislation earlier this summer with hopes of providing residents with more convenient ways to get rid of their unused medicine before the county’s next general meeting in October. “This is a duel benefit,” Hahn said. “I’ve wanted to find a way to get pharmacies to be required to take back prescription drugs, and this doesn’t quite require that, but it could be an end result.” The local law proposal argued that while pharmaceuticals are essential to the treatment of illnesses and long-term con-

ditions, residents at large still do not dispose of them properly, running the risk of certain drugs ending up in public drinking water supplies and causing harm to the environment. And with Suffolk County sitting on top of a sole source aquifer, which provides residents with necessary drinking water, Hahn argued that protecting the aquifer was critical to the health and safety of Long Island as a whole. “The idea is to begin a discussion on this. Federal regulations have changed to allow pharmacies to take back certain drugs, but the state level has been dragging their feet on the local regulations in order to make this possible here,” Hahn said. “They can’t drag their feet any longer. All kinds of medicines are being found in our water when our health inspectors do their sampling. We have to find a way on both these fronts to control what is happening.” The legislator said she was playing off the recently passed law in California, which also established a drug product stewardship policy requiring manufacturers to design and fund collection programs for medications. Similar programs have also sprouted up in Canada, France, Spain and Portugal. A spokesman for Hahn said the bill

would essentially establish a manufacturer-administered pharmaceutical takeback program that would provide residents with convenient ways to safely and environmentally responsibly dispose of expired and unneeded medications. “This program, if adopted, will primarily impact and improve water quality rather than deal with drug abuse,” Seth Squicciarino, the spokesman, said. “However, it is reasonable to assume that if there are less unused, unneeded and

forgotten prescription drugs in medicine cabinets, it could reduce drug experimentation especially among first time users.” Currently, residents’ only course of action when looking to properly dispose of unused medicine is to bring their prescriptions to the 4th Precinct or 6th Precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department, which then dumps the drugs into an incinerator — which Hahn described as the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of drugs right now.

Students at Smithtown Elementary School were excited to start their day on Sept. 2.

District students receive warm welcome Smithtown Central School District kicked off the 2015-2016 school year on Sept. 2. Whether returning to their schools for another year or transitioning to one of the district’s middle or high schools, students were welcomed back by their principals and teachers, all of whom were ea-

gerly looking forward to the upcoming school year. “We are all very excited to see our students back to school,” Superintendent Dr. James Grossane said. “Our first day went exceptionally well in all regards and we are all looking forward to an exciting and productive school year.”

Smithtown resident earns big honors

North Shore videographer building solid reputation Robyn Schmitz, a senior journalism major in the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College, earned honorable mention in the 19th annual Videographer Award Competition for her work “Brick by Brick.” The Videographer Award Competition is one of the oldest and most respected award programs in the industry. Honorable mention is awarded to projects that uphold industry standards. “Brick by Brick” tells the story of Second Dam, a band based in Ithaca that knows one thing many bands do not: when it is ending. The group,

formed four years ago by Ithaca College students, has changed up the local music scene and gained a close following throughout its time. Each step toward Second Dam’s end will be artistically creative as the members record their final album and play final performances. As the members prepare to part ways, they ref lect on discovering a community of artists who share a united vision.

more. The dedication of the statue of Richard Smythe will be held this Saturday, Sept. 19, at 10:30 a.m., which will be followed by a fireworks celebration later that night at 6:30 p.m. at Sunken Meadow State Park. The 350th parade is still to come in later September. The Smithtown Historical Society has also been hosting many events to celebrate Smithtown’s anniversary. The Heritage Country Fair is the society’s next big celebration. This Sunday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. the society will host an old-fashioned fall festival, which will include an 1860s baseball team, antique cars and trucks, Civil War reenactors, pony rides and hayrides, according to Marianne Howard, SHS executive director. “It

should be a great time,” she said. There will also be a series of four fall harvest lectures, from late October to early November. The first will focus on historic haunts and ghost legends, the second on Long Island’s involvement in the Civil War, the third on tales from a general store and the final on songs from 18th-century America. The last event to celebrate Smithtown’s 350th anniversary, the Heritage Country Christmas, will be hosted by the historical society. It will feature a bonfire, caroling, a puppet show, colonial and contemporary Christmas music, children’s crafts and a visit from Santa. The event will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 1. “I hope by the end of this year that the residents of Smithtown will have a greater appreciation and greater knowledge of their town,” Harris said.

OPINION EdiTOriAL

Spencer: E-cigs trend poses dangers to children

File photo

John Feal speaks at an event advocating for first responders in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001.

Never means never

The definition of hero is a person who is admired, or idealized, for courage. And we can’t think of a more courageous act than stepping up and putting others first in the aftermath of a tragedy like the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack. When the dust had settled on that horrific day, elected leaders stood hand-in-hand with our first responders, whether they were firefighters, police officers or just volunteers. The narrative was that we would honor their sacrifices and do whatever it took to back them up, long after the debris was removed. And yet here we are, 14 years later, making them wait to see whether the government will have their backs when they need it most. Never forget, right? This week, Nesconset native John Feal headed to Washington, d.C., alongside other heroic first responders from across the island, state and country to call on Congress to renew the James Zadroga 9/11 health and Compensation Act. Originally approved five years ago, the legislation helped provide health care and programs to more than 33,000 of our first responders and their families because of complications stemming from their efforts at Ground Zero. But that legislation is slated to expire next month, and it’s not clear whether it will be renewed. What happened to doing whatever it took to support our heroes? it is shameful to have this same discussion every few years, once legislation expires, because all that does is turn these people into political bargaining chips. To us, that doesn’t seem like a worthy reward for their sacrifices. it’s time to take permanent action so people like Feal and the many others who worked alongside him know that we will have their backs — because they had ours when we needed it most.

TO ThE EdiTOr: The increase in the use of e-cigarettes among our youth concerns me as a father, a doctor and as a legislator. Accompanying this increase is a conception that e-cigarettes are safe; this is a myth that, left unchecked, will prove to be a disservice to our youth. in April of this year, the CdC reported that e-cigarette use tripled among middle and high school students in a single year, surpassing every other tobacco product on the market, including traditional cigarettes. What are the consequences of this trend? Let’s be clear, e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which negatively affects developing adolescent brains. The teenage brain has higher levels of dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for regulating attention and impulse. Consumption of nicotine increases dopamine levels and makes the user vulnerable to engaging in risky behaviors, like becoming users of traditional cigarettes, among other things. Studies of youth have shown that nonsmokers with previous exposure to e-cigarettes compared with those without exposure were more likely to report use of a combustible tobacco product. This is not speculation or opinion, but evidenced-based, scientific data.

‘Stacking the cards against them with an environment that makes them vulnerable to using e-cigarettes is just not acceptable,’ the letter writer states.

Let’s also consider that the delivery of formaldehyde through e-cigarettes is nearly 5 times greater than that of conventional cigarettes. Commonly used as a fungicide, germicide, disinfectant and preservative in mortuaries, formaldehyde has been classified as a human carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde can lead to cancer. There’s no reason on this earth that a young person should be exposed to this, yet sadly they are. i will continue to be a voice

on this issue as it relates to our youth. it is our responsibility to afford young people the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves. Stacking the cards against them with an environment that makes them vulnerable to using ecigarettes is just not acceptable. i will explore all options available and work with parents to protect against the dangers of e-cigarettes. Legislator William “doc” Spencer Centerport

The academic angels of Back to School Night

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

he night starts off with the top dog standing in front of a packed auditorium, selling all of us on the idea that what our children are about to receive in the form of another year of education at their fine institution is a spectacular blend of academic learning, extracurricular opportunities, social growth and development, and personal inspiration.

Ah, can’t you just hear the academic angels singing? Somewhere in that magical evening known as Back to School Night, the principal and his or her vice-principal minions suggest how spectacular the teachers are, how magnificent the community is, how incredible the resources are and, most of all, how wonderful the parents are for being involved and coming to this Evening of Champions. These people who are in these top academic positions are often doctors, although they’re not the kind with stethoscopes and they don’t have a waiting room full of old copies of People magazine. They assure us that they’re people, too, and that they’ve been where we are. They know what it’s like to have someone they’ve brought into the world treat them as if they’re somewhere between an athlete’s foot fungus and a pimple surfacing on the tip of their nose just before the most

incredible moment of their lives. But, wait, there’s more. Their teachers tell us what they’ll learn, they smile, shake our hands — and assure us how excited they are to be sharing in this experience with our wonderful children. Wonderful? Seriously? We can only hope that’s the case when they’re in school because the “wonderful” has been squeezed out of them by hormones that turn their voices into violins with broken strings, by their tough-love coaches, and by their would-be girlfriends and boyfriends who have decided that today is perfect to send them a text saying, “Sorry, we can’t date anymore because I’m looking for someone better.” It’s almost like one of those old-fashioned sing-alongs, where we watch teachers with their Smart Boards at the front of the room, following the bouncing ball as it wows us with one after another of the stops on the journey to enlightenment.

For comic relief, we might get to hear from a teacher who seems about as comfortable speaking in public as I did when I was in seventh grade. He might look down at his feet as he talks, read from a script or take two huge gulps before each sentence. Speaking in front of a group of people, we realize quickly, is not exactly the ideal way to spend his day. As they talk, they tell us how much they love a subject that, truth be told, might not be their first choice. However, the nearest district hiring biology teachers is an hour away and our school desperately needs a language arts teacher. They implore us to share information about our kids. That’s when we reach into our sales bag and suggest how eager our children are to fill their minds with inspiration and information. We plaster an enthusiastic smile on our faces as we hand in our creative writing assignments. We emerge from the school,

LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz

It’s almost like one of those old-fashioned sing-alongs

ready to take all that sales energy and turn ourselves into cheerleaders for education and our children. “Oh, honey, I met your science teacher last night and she seemed so spectacular.” “That’s interesting, Dad, because my science teacher is a man.” “Wait, are you joking?” The children share a devilish smile, pick up their heavy backpacks and trudge off to a place where the sounds in the real world corridors — real and in their own heads — are often nothing like a chorus of those academic angels.
