Becoming energy efficient On May 18, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) will host A Homeowner’s Guide to Energy Efficiency event at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai from 7 to 8 p.m. During the event, homeowners will learn how to: • Get a free energy audit and find the areas where your home is wasting energy • Fix issues with affordable home energy improvements • Save $1,000 a year on energy bills • Make homes more comfortable “So many people live in homes that are not as energy efficient as they should be, and their money is literally going out the window,” Bonner said. “Long Island Green Homes can help homeowners lower their

energy costs and protect the environment by reducing our carbon footprint.” The event is sponsored by Long Island Green Homes, a nonprofit collaborative partnership of Long Island towns, community-based organizations and Molloy College. The program is funded primarily with a community outreach grant awarded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority in order to help Long Islanders improve their homes, use energy more wisely and save money. To learn more about Long Island Green Homes, visit www.longislandgreenhomes. org or call 800-567-2850. For more information about the event, call Bonner’s office at 631-451-6964.

On April 21, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Shoreham Solar Commons, located at the former Tallgrass Golf Course in Shoreham. The 150-acre solar array will create 175 local jobs, and once operational it is expected to produce 50,000 megawatt-hours per year — enough to power 3,500 homes. Other benefits of the Shoreham Solar Commons include cutting harmful greenhouse gas emissions by more than 29,000 tons per year or 1.17 million tons over the facility’s 40-year life.

It will be pesticide-free, herbicide-free and fertilizer-free. “This project is being done the way solar farms should be, without clear cutting trees” Bonner said. “I worked together with the people at Invenergy to make sure that it has little or no impact on the quality of life of the community, and to their credit, they were with me every step of the way.” Invenergy is an Illinois-based company that develops, builds, owns and operates power generation and energy storage projects in North America and Europe.

Why they volunteer With limited recruits, Mount Sinai firefighters discuss what keeps them answering the call By Kevin Redding Kevin@tBRnewspapeRs.com

The Mount Sinai Fire Department is among the long list of firehouses on Long Island that has seen a shortage of volunteers in recent years. But the hardworking residents who respond to calls at 3 a.m. wearing MSFD jackets have more than enough burning passion to make up for it. The department, at 746 Mount SinaiCoram Road, held an open house April 29 as part of RecruitNY’s federally funded, statewide annual drive designed to help districts recruit volunteer firefighters — anyone 18 or older who wants to serve their community. While there are still more than twice as many volunteers as career firefighters in the U.S., there’s been a sharp decline. In Suffolk County, especially, there’s been a drop largely because it’s so expensive to live here, according to Mount Sinai First Assistant Chief Nicholas Beckman. He added that while the department in the past usually averaged three to four volunteers a year, only one joined in 2016, and there have been no takers yet this year, although a young woman in her early 20s stopped by Sunday to get information and ask questions about the training required of a volunteer. Beckman decided it was time to take advantage of RecruitNY’s services and get the word out. “I’ll be happy if we get at least one,” Beckman said, adding the department has an agreement with neighboring fire districts, like Miller Place, to help one another when needed. “Every district around here is struggling and a lot of people are working two jobs

and just don’t have the time to make the full commitment,” he said. “It’s hard to juggle personal life, work life and putting in the time here. But without volunteers, there will be no one to get on the trucks.” Beckman has served 19 years in the department and has been an “honorary member” since he was 9 years old, as the son of the former chief. He said although the training and job itself is tough, there’s nothing more rewarding. “It’s like a second family when you join here,” he said. “I can always call on the others if I need something, even outside of the firehouse.” Walter Wilson, 77, a former utilities manager at Stony Brook University and volunteer who came out of retirement to join the firehouse after serving the Yaphank Fire Department for 26 years, said once a fireman, always a fireman. “I had taken about a 10-year break [between Yaphank and Mount Sinai] and retired, but every time a siren went off in the neighborhood, my wife would say to me, ‘you’re like a dog on a porch, getting ready to go chase cars,’” said Wilson, who serves as captain of the fire police controlling traffic. “But it’s great. I got back in, and I love it.” Adam Thomas, an 11-year volunteer who works full-time as an emergency vehicle technician, said he grew up down the block from the firehouse.

LocaL Two incumbents have no challengers for Miller Place board By Kevin Redding KEvin@tbrnEwspapErs.com The Miller Place board of education has two seats up for election, but it seems, with no challengers, that incumbents Rich Panico and Lisa Reitan aren’t going anywhere.

Rich Panico

Panico, a business owner and 20-year resident of Miller Place, was first elected to the board in 2014 and is seeking a second term because he believes the board as it is works well together. “Right now it’s going really well — it’s a nice calm that we have and, fiscally, we’re in really good shape,” Panico said. “We have really good relations with the different unions and work together with administration well.” The father of three sons, two currently in the district, tossed his hat in the ring three years ago because, as the owner of a technology-developing company Symbio for 15 years, he thought he could contribute his business expertise to the district. Outside of the board, he runs Friends of Miller Place Sports as well as the Miller Place Touchdown Club. Looking forward, he said he’d like to focus the board’s energy on mental health within the district in order to prevent suicidal thoughts or actions among students.

Miller Place board of education trustees Rich Panico and Lisa Reitan are seeking re-election with no challengers actively running against them. “Kids are under so much pressure and the board is trying to do something about it, like putting together some type of program,” he said. “It’s really difficult — we don’t have the answers yet, but, as a group, we’re trying to figure something out in that area. There are some students who will go to counselors, and others who just won’t when they’re in trouble. I want to find a way to make those kids comfortable. Luckily, as

O.B. DAVIS RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH J.D. POWER PRESIDENT'S AWARD

a board, we’re all committed to do something, and it’s one of our real big initiatives.”

Lisa Reitan

Also coming off her third year on the board, Reitan, a fourth-grade teacher in the Brentwood Union Free School District for 25 years, is seeking a second term to continue the work she and her colleagues

have been doing. “I feel like the district has come a long way,” Reitan said. “We’ve added programs, clubs, upgraded our buildings, brought in full-day kindergarten, upgraded libraries in the elementary schools, put in a brand new playground, increased communication with the community, all within constraints of the tax cap. This board has worked so well together and we bring so much. We have a lot of consensus ... and we’ve done a lot for the kids and that’s most important.” Reitan, a longtime Miller Place resident and mother of three, said she ran the first time because she thought the board could use a teacher’s perspective. A big push to run again this year, she said, is to defend public education amid the federal government’s appointment of Betsy DeVos as secretary of education. DeVos has talked about taking funds away from public schools and expanding private education and charter schools. “That’s wrong and people’s taxes would increase as a result of that,” she said. “I really believe in public schools and the whole idea of education for everybody. I would really like to tow the line with the secretary coming in and make sure our school district gets everything it’s entitled to.” She added that between the school district and community: “I don’t think you could find a better place to be on Long Island.”

incumbents Robert Sweeney, edward Law and Peter van Middelem, and newcomer Michael Mcguire, are running for three seats on Mount Sinai’s board of education.

Four in Mount Sinai BOE race running for three seats By Kevin Redding KEvin@tbrnEwspapErs.com

After graduating from Dowling College with an accounting degree in 1996, Van Middelem worked as an accountant for many years before becoming a New York City firefighter in 1999 — where he served for 12 years. He has experience auditing neighboring districts and values communication with others. He has three children, two currently in the district, and his mother and brothers still live in the area, too. “Mount Sinai is home,” he said. “I love the water, love the people, and love helping to create an environment where kids can excel.”

In Mount Sinai, four candidates — three incumbents and one newcomer — are vying for three at-large seats on the school board.

Robert Sweeney

President for five of his six overall years on the school board, Sweeney wants to stay on top of the district’s finances and continue to give the community a voice in how their children are educated. The father of five and lawyer by trade has lived in Mount Sinai for 15 years and serves on the Eastern Suffolk BOCES advisory committee as well as the executive board of the Maritime Explorium children’s museum in Port Jefferson. Sweeney said he’s running for a second term as a result of his deep commitment to the school district. “Mount Sinai doesn’t really have a main street, so the community is the three school districts — that’s where my interest is,” Sweeney said. “I want to continue to be community-involved and have a say in where education is directed. I think the state education department in Albany is trying to take away a lot of the local control of school districts that were always meant to be community based.” Sweeney said he ran for the board six years ago because he was concerned about taxes in the district. Admitting he was still concerned, Sweeney wants to continue to ease the burden on the taxpayers. “From day one on the board, I’ve advocated for long-term financial planning,” he said. “While I was president, we never pierced the tax cap ... I’ve had my own law practice for 30 years and in running a business, you pay attention to money coming in and going out. We have to understand what revenue we receive in the school district and work within our means.”

Edward Law

Law has served the board for the past six years, three of which he served as vice president. A former coach in the district’s intramural youth soccer program, he works

Michael McGuire

as a management consultant who helps organizations transform themselves either by implementing computer systems to be more efficient or cutting costs — which, he said, lines up with what he’s brought to the board. “My involvement over the past six years has brought a lot of transparency and fiscal discipline for the public,” Law said. “We’ve been able to keep our taxes and costs under control to the best of our ability ... although the tax cap puts a lot of pressure on us, we’ve been able to expand in a very fiscally-prudent manner. We’ve added a lot of AP classes, implemented full-day kindergarten and the Columbia writing program. Our music and fine arts program has been growing and sports teams have been extremely successful.” The father of three said, looking ahead, he and the board want to start vocational training programs, mostly revolving around hospital services and culinary arts, so students don’t have to travel to outside schools for college credit. “I want to stay part of it,” he added about maintaining his seat. “I’d love to continue to be part of helping improve the

district. We’ve been pretty darn effective over the past six years.”

Peter Van Middelem

A product of the Mount Sinai school district, Van Middelem, who serves as commissioner in the fire district and president of the youth lacrosse program, has lived in the community his entire life. He’s seeking a second term on the board because, he said, he “lives and breathes helping people.” Van Middelem said he’s proud of the work the board’s done in the last three years — implementing full-day kindergarten, adding components to the music program without piercing the cap — and looks forward to making things even better for students in the district. “Like anything else, you always want to leave something better than you first found it — we’ve identified different areas we need to improve and I want to continue with that,” he said. “You might see me at a school board meeting, might see me on the back of a fire truck, or at a fire district meeting ... I’m just trying to make the community a better place.”

The father of two moved to the community three years ago because of the school district’s reputation. The Port Jefferson native serves as an accountant in his family’s CPA firm, is a former Marine, and served as a police officer in New York City from 2001 to 2008. He recently completed his first year of classes at Touro Law Center in Central Islip. McGuire decided to run for the board because he believes his professional experiences with auditing and examining financial statements for governments and nonprofits within the CPA firm will provide valuable, and what he sees as much-needed insight into solving the district’s financial problems. “I’ve gone to the meetings and the district is projected to be broke in two years,” said McGuire, whose one-year-old child will become part of the district in three years. “We have a great district ... but there’s a lot of wasteful spending. We need to stop blaming the governor or tax cap and everyone else and look internally on how to save money now to prevent cuts in the future.” McGuire said it’s unacceptable that the board is presenting a budget with a $1.8 million deficit this year, and said there are plenty of ways to generate revenue. “A lot of schools have BOCES programs they run at schools and other schools pay tuition to be part of it ... the school cut BOCES a few years ago and I’d like to bring it back,” he said. “The school could also rent out fields to PAL or flag football leagues to increase revenue. I want to make sure the school can keep being amazing without worrying about having to cut things to keep it running.”

MSFD Continued from page A3 “Just being able to step up and do something and help people is great,” he said. “We’re a close-knit family here, we get along and work together to get something accomplished.” In January, Thomas and another volunteer rescued two duck hunters adrift in 32-degree waters after their boat capsized in Mount Sinai Harbor. Janis Henderson, 70, a full-time nurse who joined the department in 1974 and made history three years later as the first female recipient of the Firefighter of the Year award — modified for the first time from Fireman of the Year — said she hopes to empower more women to join. “It’s a wide open thing now and I want them to know they can do anything they want to,” Henderson said. “When I joined, I never found anything I couldn’t do. I never said ‘I can’t do this’ or ‘this is too heavy.’ I love the job and love to get dirty.” Henderson even suffered serious burns to her hands during an oil tank fire in her early days, because she didn’t want to say anything when her fellow firefighters pushed her too close to the flames while she was holding the nozzle. She said she feels at home in this line of work.

“It’s like I inherited 70 brothers — this is my family,” she said. “We take care of each other, and I know they’re always there for me.” Mount Sinai Fire Chief Jaime Baldassare, who started as a volunteer at the Dix Hills Fire Department when he was 19, said he’s still at it because he feels the need to help. “There’s nothing quite like when you pull someone out of a fire or out of a wrecked car and you find out the next day that they made it,” he said. “It’s a feeling you can’t describe. I love to do this. We train to be the best we can be so anytime a call comes in, we’re ready to do whatever it takes to help the people of Mount Sinai.”

Student-musicians from the Miller Place school district’s Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School recently participated in the Long Island String Festival Association and the Suffolk County Music Educators’ festival and concert. Performing in the concert is one of the most selective opportunities for young musicians on Long Island, featuring students from throughout Suffolk County who were handpicked by their music teachers. This year’s participants at the string fes-

tival included Nini Guo, Alan Yue, Emma Rosequist, Nicholas Nania, Kiera Bussewitz, Nicolette Capocci and Maris Lynch. Students who participated in the music educator’s festival were Nini, Alan, Emma, Nicholas, Kiera, Ege Tunar and Phoenix Guasto. All of the students from Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School were seated within the Top 10 of their sections in both orchestra and band. Nini, a violinist, above on left, was the first student in Miller Place history to sit first chair, first violin and serve as concertmaster of the orchestra.

Employee excellence award Suffolk County legislators presented the Legislature’s Employee Excellence Award to three employees from the Bureau of Chest Diseases at the Suffolk County Department of Health Services for their outstanding work during a meeting last month. Lourdes Diaz, of Holbrook, Jean Gordon, of Lindenhurst, and Patricia Bergmann, of Sound Beach, were nominated for this recognition program, which is sponsored by Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (DAmityville) and James Tomarken, commissioner of the health services department. The award is intended to commend county employees who excel in handling their duties. The Bureau of Chest Disease staff maintains an active surveillance program for tuberculosis. “Working effectively as a team, these three employees go above and beyond their job requirements — taking care of community residents with compassion, understanding and cultural sensitivity,” Tomarken said in his letter of recommendation. “Their professionalism and dedication protects the public from this serious

communicable disease.” The nurses travel throughout the county making home visits to residents, accompanying tuberculosis patients to doctor visits, traveling to hospitals to reassure patients and make sure they receive the best possible care. They frequently perform these duties outside of normal business hours. “Our county employees deserve our appreciation and recognition,” Gregory said. “Nursing is a truly inspiring, thoroughly rewarding and noble profession. RNs Bergmann, Diaz and Gordon are very deserving of the Employee Excellence Award.” Bergman has been an employee for 31 years, Diaz for 23 years and Gordon for 21 years with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. The nurses always provide service with a smile, Tomarken said, are consistently dependable, punctual and hardworking. “These three individuals have an excellent rapport with the New York State Department of Health Bureau of Tuberculosis Control,” he said. “Their collective knowledge of tuberculosis and its treatment ensure that they provide high quality care to those they serve.”

Happy Mother’s Day to ALL the MOTHERS out there. May your day be filled with love, joy and laughter.

Clockwise from above, Jake naso makes his way around a defender after winning the draw; James Mirabell and Chris sheehan defend against West Babylon; gavin gregorek prepares to fire a shot; and Chris gray scoops up a ground ball.

Naso gets possession, Gray nets goals in win By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com

Jitters are to be expected when a freshman takes the field for the first time, but looking at Shoreham-Wading River’s Jake Naso, you wouldn’t know it. The freshman won 22 of 25 faceoffs to give the boys’ lacrosse team the possession it needed to come away with a 17-4 nonleague win over West Babylon May 2. “I felt good,” Naso said of his first varsity start, smiling. “I’m getting used to it, and I hope to take more in the future.”

Shoreham-WR 17 West Babylon 4

Naso was a piece of the total team puzzle, with the Wildcats outscoring the Eagles 7-2 in the first quarter. “We got up on them early and that affected the whole outcome of the game,” Shoreham-Wading River head coach Mike Taylor said. “I thought that we were very crisp and we did the things we wanted to do right away. I’m very happy with the boys executing what we practiced to run against them.” He also liked seeing 10 athletes sprinkling the score sheet with points throughout the afternoon. “We’ve been trying to get to that level — creating a team concept offensively,” Taylor said. “And now we’re getting guys more game experience, and with Jake winning the faceoffs, that’s going to be huge for us depth-wise. We already have a good faceoff guy with Joe [Miller] so to have two guys, we’re almost spoiled.” Highlighting the offense was senior Chris Gray, who contributed five goals and five assists. Most notable, was Gray’s score off a cross-field pass from James Mirabell. With West Babylon’s goalkeeper out of the net after carrying the ball to the opposite end of the field, Gray grabbed hold of the pass and dribbled it in mid-air until getting a good enough hold to whip a shot behind his back and into the back of the cage as goalkeeper Mark Esposito tried to get back between the pipes. “We were relaxed on offense and then the defense got a big turnover,” Gray said. “The ball was bouncing in and out of my stick and I saw the goalie wasn’t in the net yet, and the best opportunity as he was making his way

between the pipes was to shoot it behind my back, and luckily it went in.” He also liked what he saw from his young teammate, Naso. “He comes out to practice and works hard every day,” Gray said. “Winning the faceoffs and getting us all those extra possessions was big. This is a huge confidencebooster for him.” But Taylor said there’s still room to grow. As the Wildcats learned last season, even with a near-flawless record, complacency can set in. “There are a lot of great teams out there that will be good competition,” he said. “We learned last year that we made it far,

but we didn’t win it all. To win it all you have to continue to get better, so every day we have to come ready to work.” Gray said the team’s two early-season losses — to East Islip and Eastport-South Manor in April — shaped the team. Now, they’re looking to gauge where they’re at with the games ahead. “They helped us figure out what we were lacking,” Gray said. “We’re definitely getting better, and we have two big games coming up against Miller Place and Garden City that will really test our team.” Shoreham-Wading River travels to Miller Place May 4 for a 4:30 p.m. matchup, and will host Garden City May 6 at 2 p.m.

The new children’s plant maze at Heritage Park.

Photo from Mount Sinai Garden Club

Thanking the garden club for Heritage Park’s new maze

Photo by Kevin Redding

County Executive Steve Bellone speaks during a town hall meeting in Port Jefferson.

The Mount Sinai Civic Association would like to extend sincere thanks to the Mount Sinai Garden Club for envisioning, planning and constructing a children’s plant maze at Heritage Park in Mount Sinai. The members of this volunteer organization spent many months soliciting donations from local businesses and planning every aspect of this complex project and did the intense physical work

of construction (with the help of some heavy equipment) on a rainy Saturday in March. We commend the dedication of the volunteers, the generosity of the donors and the vision of the group in creating this uniquely wonderful addition to Heritage Park. The maze should be open some time in 2018 and will inspire many hours of fun for years into the future.

The civic association was happy to donate $1,000 toward the effort from our beautification funds and applauds the continued work of this group and the good work in coordinating with the Heritage Trust to enhance and improve our beautiful park.

The support staff at Port Jefferson School District would like to make you aware of the recent release of the Netflix series, “13 Reasons Why” based on a 2007 young adult novel. The content of this series raises serious concerns, portrays traumatic matters and romanticizes suicide. While this is a TV drama and not real life, the subject matters are in fact relevant and real to our youth. The series graphically depicts a suicide death and numerous difficult topics such as bullying, rape, drunk driving, drug use, alcoholism, sexual assault and the consequences of being a bystander. The scenes throughout each episode may be extremely difficult for the teenage mind to watch and process in an appropriate manner without the support of a trusted adult. We do not recommend that vulnerable youth, especially those who have experienced a degree of suicidal ideation, view this series. The content can be triggering and may lead impressionable viewers to idealize the

choices made by characters in the story. The main character places blame on others for her suicide. Suicide is never the fault of survivors and there are resources and support groups for suicide loss survivors. It is recommended that if your child has viewed or is planning to view this series, engaging them in thoughtful discussions would assist in helping them to process the intense issues. This also allows the message to be reinforced that suicide is not a solution to problems and that there are resources available. Please find out if your child has read the book, or watched or heard of the series. If they have, see some suggestions below for engaging them in thoughtful conversations. Remind your child that there is no problem too great to be handled. Have an open and honest conversation about emotional issues and suicide. Talking about these issues with your child does not put them at an increased risk; rather it assures them of your love and support.

It is important to express to your child that there is no single cause of suicide. Suicide is not a common response to life’s challenges. Most individuals struggling with some of the matters addressed in the book/series do seek support by reaching out and talking to a friend, family member, counselor, etc. Suicide affects everyone and everyone can do something to help. The character in the series was experiencing untreated mental health concerns. It is important to note that there are many treatment options available. Remind your child that there is always someone who will listen. If your child hears, sees or feels anything in this regard, ask them to reach out to someone. If you yourself are concerned about someone, don’t hesitate to ask them about it or tell someone who can help.

Ann Becker Mount Sinai Civic Association President

County and town taking steps to monitor water quality School district warns parents about Netflix show Last week Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) was in Port Jefferson, for the first of three scheduled town hall meetings to inform residents about a proposed septic improvement program. If passed, the program would allow 400 Suffolk County homeowners the opportunity to receive grants and low-cost loans for the replacement of wastewater treatment systems in their homes. The systems cost between $14,500 and $17,500 in total, and monies made available by the program would cover up to $11,000. Nitrogen from outdated septic systems and cesspools has been wreaking havoc on Long Island’s waters for years. It has done damage to both the quality of our waters and the inhabitants. We commend the county executive for bringing forward this plan, which would help improve our environment. In addition, Brookhaven’s Town Board passed an amendment last week to their 2016 nitrogen protection zone law, which allows the board to adjust the former limit of 19 milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water from septic systems or cesspools immediately upon the release of new technology that makes lower standards possible. Our editorial staff is thrilled to see two municipalities taking the initiative to proactively monitor the quality of our waters in the hopes of reversing some disturbing recent trends. We hope the legislature will approve Bellone’s program, and when the time comes, we encourage homeowners to apply for the grants. The second informational town hall will be held May 8 at the Huntington Public Library’s main branch at 7 p.m., and the third will be at the Middle Country Library’s Centereach branch May 12 at 7:30 p.m. For more information, email septicdemo@suffolkcountyny.gov.

OpiniOn Cursing our self-inflicted wounds

here’s a part of us that wants to shed the limitations of civilization. What difference do all those arbitrary lines in society make anyway? Say, for example, we’re standing in a grocery store and the line isn’t moving quickly enough. Then again, what line could possibly move at a speed we’d find acceptable? We look at our phones to distract us. We can watch By Daniel Dunaief movies we’ve seen a hundred times, check our voicemail, email, messaging service and telepathic connections, if we’ve got the right app. The phone doesn’t offer much relief, as our boss has sent us an instant message that reads, “If

D. None of the above

you don’t bring those cupcakes back within three minutes, you will be on cupcake duty for the next six months.” It’s our fault. We saw that lane six was probably longer than lane seven, but we picked six because we saw a headline in a magazine about Julia Roberts and we wanted to read the other headlines in a magazine that was out of stock in lane seven. Lane six is at a complete stop as the cashier waits for the override. “Come on!” we want to scream. “We gotta deliver these cupcakes before we lose our job!” But we don’t scream any curse words, despite an impulse that is working its way up our spinal column. Another urge hits us. We want to jump on the conveyor belt and dance to “Cotton Eye Joe,” while kicking away the other groceries. But we don’t do that, either. We hold back because everyone has a camera, and we don’t want to be the supermarket dancer on YouTube forever.

We consider convincing ourselves that our venting might become a way to contribute to society. Maybe other people waiting in line somewhere can laugh at us, as we act out their frustration fantasies. But, no, we’d have a hard time going to PTA meetings or running for office if our opponent could show we didn’t have the temperament to be a leader. We keep our composure. It’s just cupcakes, right? Then again, we still have to do our work and this means we’ll be home later than we wanted and we won’t get a parking spot near the gym tonight, which means we might have to walk an extra quarter of a mile before we run 6 miles. It’s so unfair! Curses are echoing around our brain. We grind our teeth, tap our feet, shake our head slowly and blow our bangs off our overheated and thickly lined forehead. We hear the words, “Come on, come on, come on,” in our head, but no one else seems to care about our agony. Oh, great, now we have to

go to the bathroom, which will be difficult because as soon as we get back to the office we are serving the cupcakes at the party. Don’t think about the need for the toilet. Oh, right, sure, that’s worked so well in the past. Why hadn’t we thought about that around, say, tax season? Sure, if you don’t think about it, taxes will just go away. Then the curse words slipped out. We shouted them. We look around, wondering if we’ve damaged our reputation. This can be the smallest town on the planet. No one is holding a cellphone in our direction. No one seems to be waiting for us to do it again. Everyone does, however, take a step back from us. We breathe a sigh of relief until it hits us: Two rows away is an overheated mother with three children holding onto her shopping cart. One of them — he looks like he’s about 6 years old — is staring at us without blinking. Maybe crossing that line was a mistake, as shame has replaced anger.

advertising from the retail shops along Main Street, USA. No longer is that the secure source of our revenue. And why? Because the nature of shopping has changed. Catalogs presaged the change many years ago. Busy residents could scan catalogs from different stores, pick out the items they needed or thought they needed, call a store’s 800 number and receive delivery a few days later. It wasn’t necessary to bestir oneself from the living room sofa and go out to see the product. If, when it arrived, it didn’t fit or wasn’t the right color, we could send it back, often postage paid. I used to joke that they should put a try-on room in the post office. Then came the internet, and more specifically, Amazon. No longer do we have the inconvenience of searching through multiple catalogues. We can now indicate what we want and select from among many manufacturers the precise item we seek. Further, that item may appear at our door within 24 hours, or even the same afternoon for a slightly higher fee. Amazon has become the entire world’s bazaar. Sometimes people venture out to a

store to get a three-dimensional look at the desired goods. Yet often they then retreat to their cellphones and order the same item for less money over the internet. E-commerce is king. This sea change in shopping has been happening gradually but now is moving at an accelerating pace. At least that is what a recent article, “Is American Retail at a Historic Tipping Point?” by Michael Corkery, in The New York Times tells us: “Between 2010 and 2014, e-commerce grew by an average of $30 billion annually. Over the past three years, average annual growth has increased to $40 billion.” The Times article continues, “This transformation is hollowing out suburban shopping malls, bankrupting longtime brands and leading to staggering job losses.” It has also shaken the money tree of daily and weekly newspapers, as evidenced by the fewer number of pages and hence news stories that newspapers can afford to publish. But we papers are only collateral damage. “More workers in general merchandise stores have been laid off since October, about 89,000 Americans. That is more than all of the people employed in the United States coal

industry, which President Trump championed during the campaign as a prime example of the workers who have been left behind in the economic recovery,” according to The Times. One out of 10 people works in retail, and the consequences of their being unemployed are as upending for society as the loss of jobs for manufacturing workers has been. We are talking about the disappearing middle class here, folks. The small-store owners and their workers are losing their livelihoods. Shopping malls, with the exception of a luxurious few, are emptying out, and their sales staffs are being laid off. The great irony of Amazon now experimenting with brick-and-mortar stores will hardly replace the thousands of workers cut loose, and robots largely operate their fulfillment centers in huge warehouses. There is a brilliant little business book by Spencer Johnson called, “Who Moved My Cheese?” which summarizes the current condition in first-grader detail. Retail life as we knew it, in this case the old cheese, is elsewhere. To survive in business now requires innovation, retraining and finding the location of new cheese.

Choppy waters in retail sea change

here was confirmation for what I have been saying over the past couple of years. Shopping has changed. Now I have never been a particularly astute shopper. When I need something, I go into the closest appropriate store and buy the item. The only time I enjoy shopping, for the most part, is when I am on vacation and feel I have the leisure to browse. Especially if I am in counBy Leah S. Dunaief atry,foreign shops are a place where the clerk probably speaks English and will be inclined to chat, hoping for a sale. That way I learn about the place I am visiting and also perhaps see unusual products that may tempt me. That said, I know something about shopping because of the newspaper business. The traditional backbone of the community newspaper has been
