Within hours after going missing, Parson (above), a 4-yearold terrier mix from Wading River, was reunited with his family. Photo from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office
Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. (D) announced Wednesday, Aug. 31, that the Sheriff’s Lost Pet Network has successfully reunited a lost dog in Wading River with its family. With the community’s help, the Sheriff’s Pet Network located and safely returned the missing dog in less than 10 hours of the dog first going missing. On the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 30, Parson, a 4-year-old terrier mix, was reported missing in Wading River. As part of the Sheriff’s Lost Pet Network, notices were placed on the Suffolk Sheriff’s social media page with a description of the dog. In the early evening, the Sheriff’s Office received a call that the dog had been found, and Parson was soon reunited with his family. “I am glad to see that the Sheriff’s Lost Pet Network is proving to be a success,” Toulon said. “With the help of the community, we were able to locate Parson in just a few hours. It is my hope that we can continue to be the pipeline to reunite animals with their owners.” In May, Toulon launched the first-ofits-kind “Lost Pet Network.” This program provides participating owners with a printed pet identification card. It adds enrolled pets to a database to help track and locate missing pets using social media, digital technology, and dedicated deputy sheriffs. Since the program’s inception, hundreds of Suffolk residents have enrolled their pets. Residents can register for the Pet Network free of charge through the Sheriff’s Office’s website. The collected information about the pet is stored in a secure database which helps the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office alert the appropriate stakeholders if a pet goes missing.

Rocky Point High School welcomed its entering freshman class during orientation day on Wednesday, Aug. 24. The Class of ‘26 enjoyed breakfast, a presentation, and then student-led tours of the building. Staff members were on hand to greet the students as well. “It was a very successful morning in which students were able to connect with each other, upperclassmen, and varied members of our TEAM Rocky Point High School staff,” said principal Jonathan Hart.

During a public meeting of the Rocky Point school district board of education on Monday, Aug. 29, Sound Beach resident Bea Ruberto confronted the board over its decision to reverse a longstanding practice regarding book donations.InJune, district parent Allison Villafane donated several books related to Pride Month. In midJuly, the board sparked controversy from the public for its decision to no longer accept book donations from parents.
During a special meeting on July 28, members of the board justified their decision on the grounds that they lack expertise in children’s literature. For more on this story, “Rocky Point BOE reverses practice on book donations, causes controversy,” see TBR News Media Aug. 11 print and online editions.
The next meeting of the Rocky Point board of education is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 19.
Jessica Ward, president of the board of education, responded to Ruberto’s public comments. The BOE president argued that the decision empowers the district’s librarians, offering these experts the freedom to stock the libraries with books of their choosing and without sway from the board.

“Yes, there are many important issues related to our children’s education, but the idea that the books made available to them isn’t one of them is ludicrous,” she said, adding, “As long as a book is age appropriate, I can’t imagine any book that young people should not have access to it.”
During her remarks, Ruberto contended that the board used shoddy reasoning to arrive at its decision. By reversing its book donation practice, Ruberto suggested that the BOE inadvertently took decision-making authority out of the hands of librarians.
“Our decision, as we explained last time, was made in consensus,” Ward said. “As you said, we’re not the experts on books. We want our librarians to pick the books in theirBeforelibraries.”the meeting adjourned, Ward and Ruberto debated whether the change of practice on book donations constituted a policy change. In attempting to settle this matter, Ward advised that she and the board would consult with their attorney and get back to Ruberto with a more detailed explanation.
“I remain disappointed with your decision to no longer accept book donations,” Ruberto said. “None of you are experts in deciding which book donations to accept, you said, but there are experts who can do this — the librarians.”

Another point of contention for Ruberto was an argument made on July 28 during the public comments that there are more pressing matters for the board to consider than book Pushingdonations.backagainst these charges, Ruberto suggested that access to reading materials lies at the core of any institution of learning.

While Ruberto acknowledged that parents remain the ultimate arbiters for their children’s reading materials, she added that librarians also perform a vital function. According to her, school libraries are ideally inclusive spaces that should reflect the entire community’s values. “Some parents may be troubled by what they see in the library, and then they may — and certainly should — monitor what their children are reading,” she said. “But school libraries aren’t just for them. They’re for everyone in the community.”

There have been a lot of complaints about a lack of publicity. Many things have changed at the last minute: We have had several cancellations, which only added to the lack of credibility in my opinion. These issues only compounded the alreadyhigh level of distrust in government from both sides. We have heard from people who identify as Republicans and Democrats about the attempt to change the Mount Sinai, Port Jefferson Station and Terryville areas. People from both sides of the aisle came out and said, “Why are you doing this? It’s completely unnecessary and we don’t understand it.” And they were absolutely right to ask that kind of a question. We’re supposed to be talking about the population disparities between [Council Districts] 2 and 6. Those are the two that are out of alignment, according to the 5% rule [in the town code]. Those first two maps made some strange changes that nobody could understand why they were there. After you left the committee’s Aug. 18 virtual meeting, a resolution was approved 5-2 that preserves one of the initial drafts maps while reverting the boundaries of CD1 and CD2 to their current form. If you had been in the meeting, how would you have voted? I probably would have voted “no” because it is not addressing what I have requested, which is the 2-6 boundary. With the proposed movement of Ridge into Council District 4, do you believe that district is at risk of partisan gerrymandering? Yes, I am very worried about that. I live in CD4, and as a civic leader I work with Councilman [Michael] Loguercio [R-Ridge] all the time. We have an excellent relationship. I also understand that some of the people from the Ridge Civic [Association] would love to have fewer council representatives — they have three. Any number of the maps that we [the Democratic appointees] have proposed gets it down to two, eliminating Ridge from Council District 6. But we’re looking to do it equitably and fairly by not diluting the minority vote. It’s important. How has public participation during this redistricting cycle differed from that of 2012? The public has been very engaged, very vocal and very passionate. Again, this goes back to that distrust issue. And also, the ability of people to record themselves, get their message out, and share messages among people is different than it was 10 years ago. People have been able to share information — good information — about what’s going on, regardless of party, when they think that something is awry. Last time across all six public hearings, I think we may have had 25 to 29 separate speakers. We had more than 30 at the last public hearing alone … and that was just one hearing. It has been supercharged and contentious at times. I used the term “frustrating” earlier because our job is to listen during these sessions and not respond, and that has been hard for many of us to do. We know a lot of these people through different organizations and dealings over the years, so to be unable to sympathize with them or reassure them has been really challenging. What steps can the committee take in the next two weeks to meet its deadline and produce maps that reflect the will of the people? I think the three maps we have requested should be posted on the town’s website immediately as soon as they are ready. I believe that the committee should meet to discuss the maps and then have a public hearing on those maps. We still have time. We have [the rest of] this week, all of next week and part of the following week. That’s plenty of time to get things done. The public has asked for two things: a map of least change, and respect for the possibility of a majority-minority district. There are three tenets that school districts, businesses and all levels of government have adopted: diversity, equity and inclusion. Those aren’t just trendy buzzwords. They are the hallmarks of creating a better society, and the maps that the committee and the town adopt need to embody those three tenets. Ten years. That’s a long time in local government. It’s a long time for all levels of government. But at the local level, 10 years can be an eternity.
Brookhaven Redistricting Committee member on the public’s distrust of government
Gail Lynch-Bailey, a member of the Brookhaven Redistricting Committee in 2012 and 2022, opened up about how this year’s redistricting process has departed from past practice.
One-on-one with Gail Lynch-Bailey
Gail Lynch-Bailey, president of the Middle Island Civic Association, has the unique distinction of serving on the Brookhaven Redistricting Committee both in 2012 and this year. In an exclusive interview, she discusses the breakdown of norms, procedures and public confidence as the committee works to meet its Sept. 15 deadline. What is your background, and how did you get involved in the redistricting process? I am the president of the Middle Island Civic Association. As such, I qualify to be a civic representative on the redistricting committee. I did it 10 years ago in the same vein: I was a Democratic appointee then and am one now. What are your thoughts on how this year’s redistricting process has developed? This 2022 redistricting process has been contentious and frustrating. It has caused me to rethink a lot of recommendations for the next time the town undergoes this process. I don’t think that we had enough time with the professional mapmaker. As commissioners, we needed a session early on in the process. Instead, we had six meetings with no maps, then two maps appeared, and then we had six hearings based on those maps — which were false maps because we had no input intoNow,them.we’re struggling to see if we get some public hearings on the mapmaker’s three maps we have legitimately requested. I sincerely hope we can do that because I think that’s part of our obligation to the public. What are some key differences between the redistricting process this year and the one from 2012? Ten years ago, we met in person as a commission and introduced ourselves. We learned a lot about each other and then had an informational and educational session with the counsel, Jeff Wice. Then, we had a series of public hearings that were not scheduled during the week of the Fourth of July — when people are on vacation. We had two sessions per week running across three weeks in July. Then, we had a nice work session where we talked about what kind of maps we would like to get from the mapmaker. We had a very good understanding of the three maps we wanted. One was a map of least change. Another was along school district boundaries because that was one of the things we heard about from the public during the public hearings. The last map added more changes involving election districts and things like that. We went from very little change to much more in those three maps. Then we had time to look at those maps before we went out to the public again. And that was what was missing this time: We got maps on a Friday, and then we were back in front of the public the following Monday. The public thought these were our maps, but we hadn’t even begun understanding what they were. They weren’t based on anything we or the public requested. That meeting with the mapmaker and understanding of what we would get was missing. And I don’t know who made the schedule of the hearings, but it was unnecessarily daunting. What do you think accounts for the committee’s problems this year? Perhaps it was going to be contentious from the start only because of the nature of the political arena right now. People distrust government at higher levels than I have ever experienced. One side may think that people will be mad no matter what we do. The other side will think that we’re not being transparent. The people are mad, and understandably so.

Hope for monarch butterflies in Suffolk County
A monarch butterfly rests on Theresa Germaine’s finger before taking flight, right. The monarch before leaving its enclosure, above. Below, left, a caterpillar feeding, and right, a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis.
Germaine knew she had to keep busy when the pandemic shut down practically everything in 2020. Pre-COVID-19, the now 83-year-old traveled frequently, and when she wasn’t making trips, Germaine split her time between New York City and Stony Brook, where she shares a house with herWhensister.
A Stony Brook resident is doing her part to help the ecosystem, one monarch butterfly at aTheresatime.
everything shut down, the retired educator decided Long Island was the best place to be. Shortly after, she decided to grow milkweed, a flowering perennial plant, in her garden and encourage the growth of the monarch butterfly population. Not only did she attract the butterflies with the milkweed — the only place they will lay their eggs on — she also took their eggs and nurtured them.
“I’ve always kind of been a Girl Scout type of person,” Germaine said. “I was a Girl Scout when I was young, and I always had an interest in nature.” While she nurtured a dozen of the pollinators in 2020, last year she released 41 and this year so far, 45. She said she estimates that approximately 10 more butterflies will emerge before the summer ends. Over the last couple of years, Germaine has purchased more milkweed plants, and the
perennials have become more robust over time. A native of the Bronx, she taught in Manhattan for nearly 30 years, and was an assistant principal for two years in the borough. She retired in 1995, and she said she never chose to get married or have children. Germaine said while many her age may be busy with grandchildren; she was keeping herself busy with her travels and entertainment. The raising of the monarchs has been a welcomed activity. “As you get older, it’s very important that you have a purpose in life,” she said.

Her hope is that everyone will grow a little milkweed in their garden to help the monarchs. She said while it’s not the most attractive plant, even a small garden with the flower in a small corner of one’s property can make a difference. While the eggs have a better chance of surviving inside — more than 80% — just having milkweed can increase the monarch butterfly anywhere between 3% to 10%, Germaine said based on her research. “If everybody did their part, we would see more butterflies,” she said. “And who does not love to see a butterfly?”
SHAKERMOVERAND
BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
When the pandemic shutdowns struck, Germaine read about the monarch butterflies and how to attract and raise them. This year marked the third year of her garden and, once again, she has been busy looking for the tiny eggs, about the size of a pin, under the milkweed leaves where the butterflies lay them. She then brings them inside her home where she puts the eggs and leaves in a container.Afterthe eggs hatch, they emerge as caterpillars and are very small. Germaine puts them in mesh butterfly tents bought online along with pieces of milkweed from her garden in tubes to feed them. She has a few of the enclosures to handle each stage, from the caterpillar — larva stage — to pupa, where they form a chrysalis around themselves, and then the emergence of the butterfly.Germaine said once the monarch butterfly appears, it climbs up the side of the cage and needs time for its wings to dry. Once the monarch begins fluttering around the enclosure, she knows it’s time to release them outside. She brings the enclosure outside and allows the creatures to leave at their will.
“There are so many negative things going on in the world that you have to find some way to make yourself feel good about something,” Germaine said. The butterflies, distinguished by their orange and black coloring with white spots, have recently been added to The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. The environmental network considers the monarchs an endangered species, even though the U.S. itself has not yet added the pollinators to its endangered-species list.

It was a see-saw battle in the first two sets between cross-town rivals Mount Sinai and Port Jefferson on Tuesday, Aug. 30. While the Mustangs kept it close in both sets, the Royals, fueled by Erin Henry’s dominant performance from the service line, finished strong and won both. Mount Sinai rallied in the third set, but the Royals played mistake-free volleyball and swept the match 25-21, 25-22, 25-15 in the opening round of this non-league matchup. Both teams begin league play Thursday, Sept. 1. Mount Sinai hosts Center Moriches at 5 p.m. and the Royals travel to Pierson/Bridgehampton with a 6:15 p.m. start time.

Coaches often say a team must “play up” to raise its game. That is just what the Mustangs of Mount Sinai did Monday, Aug. 29, visiting the powerhouse of League II, the Ward Melville Patriots, to open their 2022 season. Ward Melville dominated the time of possession in the first half, scoring four unanswered goals against their League IV visitors. The Patriots added to their lead in the second half, tacking on two more for a 6-0 shutout. The Patriots shared the wealth as Wilman Castellon, Aiden Burgueno and Owen Haviland each found the net, and teammates Ryan Flockhart, Ron Palillo and Dylan Fastenberg each scored a goal apiece. Both teams were back in action on Wednesday, Aug. 31, as the Mustangs faced another non-league opponent, the Kings Park Kingsmen, on the road. The Patriots were up against a perennially talented Brentwood team. Results were not available at press time. Pictured clockwise from above, Mount Sinai goalie Brian Vales makes the save in traffic; Mount Sinai freshman Max Cuttler settles the ball; Mustangs sophomore Tristan Bausenwein settles the ball; Mount Sinai freshman Justin Kit settles the ball; Ward Melville freshman Elliot Burgueno pushes upfield; and Mount Sinai junior Mike Maire settles the ball.

Our electricity and natural gas suppliers, PSEG and National Grid, have announced their net-zero carbon goals. This is well under way in Europe with disastrous results: blackouts, shortages, rationing, sky high rates, and the reopening of fossil and nuclear plants. Germany, the EU’s industrial heart, is on the verge of collapse. With New York State and Long Island leading this program, certain disaster will result. Meanwhile Russia, China and India are opening fossil plants at a breakneck pace with reliable and cheap energy, so any carbon reductions NYS attains will have an undetectable effect on global Furthermore,emissions.wind and solar generation are about 25% nameplate capacity due to wind and solar inconsistency. A huge amount of land and sea floor must be built on, like Europe, which will destroy habitats and lock up land preventing more valuable purposes like food production. In addition, battery backup must be available not for a few hours but for weeks and that will cost trillions. There have been inextinguishable battery storage — and vehicle — fires that produce toxic gases. Thousands of miles of new transmission must be built. The quantities of materials used in wind and solar generation are many times greater than in fossil plants, they destroy the environment when mined commonly with child labor, like lithium and silicon; they are controlled by hostile governments like China; they have shorter operational life and thus raise costs, and cannot be recycled — turbine blades and solar panels.
Finally, over 1,100 scientists and professionals have published “There Is No Climate Emergency.” We have proven, reliable, costeffective and paid-for generation and gas supply. We will commit economic and societal suicide as Europe has done, switching to unreliable wind and solar power. Mark Sertoff East Northport Clean up those campaign signs
Sustainability starts in our own backyard

It is important to remember that climate change is a global phenomenon affecting every organism on this planet. The decisions that we make today will impact others tomorrow.

Climate change presents numerous challenges that seem to multiply with each passing year. It is an uncomfortable truth that we must make permanent changes to our own lives or face catastrophic consequences, some of which we are already seeing. Amid a brutally hot and unseasonably dry summer here on Long Island, the human race is simultaneously fighting droughts and flash floods not only in the U.S. but throughout the world. Though many of the changes needed to counteract climate change will require government intervention, there are a number of ways that citizens can help make a difference, starting with their own backyards. A typical American lawn consists of freshly cut grass, no weeds in sight, and pesticides covering every square foot. Unfortunately for us, this pretty picture is pretty bad for the health of our local environment. While the manicured lawn makes for the ideal suburban homescape, the environmental harms outweigh the aesthetic charms. Gas-guzzling mowing equipment has the obvious downside of polluting the air. In addition to killing off weeds and insects, pesticides and insecticides can contaminate water in our aquifers, harm birds and kill off beneficial insects and plants that stabilize the local ecosystem. Instead, residents should opt for electric-powered mowing equipment, which can deliver the desired outcome without polluting our air. Additionally, one can avoid adding harsh chemicals into the groundwater by introducing pest-controlling insects native to Long Island. In the TBR News Media coverage area, one Long Island citizen has converted her home into a haven for the endangered monarch butterflies. Theresa Germaine, an 83-year-old Stony Brook resident, used her time during the COVID-19 lockdown to raise monarch butterfly eggs using milkweed, the only host for monarch caterpillars, in her garden. After raising the caterpillars into metamorphosis, she releases the beautiful monarch butterflies into nature. Germaine teaches us that the contributions of the few can go a long way to improve the greater whole. With each monarch butterfly that leaves her garden, that population is a little more stable and our world a little more colorful. Germaine encourages everyone to join her cause: To plant milkweed so that the monarchs can thrive in the world. Conservation practices require us to make individual sacrifices, but through these small concessions we contribute to creating a better world. It is imperative that we do not forget our personal responsibility in protecting and helping our environment.
The Democratic and Republican parties’ 2022 congressional and state senate primary elections have come and gone. This reminds me of “The Outer Limits,” a 1960s television show. With the end of round-the clock-commercials by politicians, political action groups and pay-for-play special interest groups, we now return control of your television back to you until the November general election cycle. No more candidates campaign mailings clogging mailboxes and weighing down our hardworking postal employees. Finally, some peace and quiet. Now if only all the winning and losing candidates would pick up all the thousands of campaign signs that litter our roads and highways to clean up our environment. Candidates campaign volunteers and paid staff who placed campaign signs can collect and properly dispose of them. Why not also have some people who have been sentenced to community service by judges help out as well?

youBetweenandme BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF Solving “help wanted” with immigrants
Langford, however, recognizes that emphasizing ways to improve, even after winning a game, was not ideal for her players.
Busloads of immigrants are arriving in New York City regularly, sent from the border by the Texas governor. He doesn’t know what to do with so many, but we do. We up here in the northeast can use a lot of help, to judge from the omnipresent “Help Wanted” signs. Of course, the newcomers cannot fit into communities seamlessly, functioning in any and every job. First, they need food, housing and perhaps medical care. Their children need to be registered for school. The parents have to be interviewed to determine their skills and preferences for work. To us, it would seem there are a number of jobs that they might fill fairly quickly even if they come with no special training, and especially if they have the benefit of a translator on the work premises or on the phone. Restaurants in particular seem to be in need of additional help. Some positions there need energy and elbow grease, like busing tables, washing dishes and keeping the rooms clean. The same might be said for other parts of the hospitality and entertainment industries, like hotels and theaters. Hospitals need additional hands for cleaning and helping patients. Businesses and offices must be kept clean and neat. The same for private homes. Of great need is childcare, which in effect is a universal job but one for which applicants would have to be carefully screened. There is $7 billion of public funding available for childcare from New York State, but only some 12% of those who might qualify are aware of the program. An intense information campaign has been proposed to get the word out, and once there is a greater response, more caretakers will need to be retained and trained. The money is there to pay them. New York City has long been the gateway to America for immigrants. And America has long been the promised land for those fleeing persecution, political chaos or even war at home, or those hoping to better themselves and especially their children in a country that offers opportunity. We are a nation peopled by immigrants. While some families can brag about their long lineage here in America, the point is that at some time, ancestors came here from somewhere else, unless they are Native Americans. And the striving of immigrants to succeed and fit in has helped our country to succeed. Imagine what it must take to pull up roots, leave behind everything you know and those you love, and travel, in some instances great distances along perhaps dangerous routes, to come to America. Many don’t speak English. Others never make it here. To do so must take great courage, determination and ambition. These are skills we need. And we need people. In addition to the evidence of Help Wanted signs, we know that our birth rate is dropping. More and more couples are opting not to have children, whether because of the expense, (some $300,000 per child today), the challenge of climate change or any other reasons. We have a checkered history at best when it comes to welcoming immigrants. When I was growing up in New York City, for example, Puerto Ricans were arriving in substantial numbers. They were generally disparaged, accused of taking “American” jobs and causing crime. Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story” is a fairly accurate depiction set to music. Newcomers have had to elbow their way into the country, largely because they start out being culturally different, and differences are often feared. My neighborhood as I was growing up, Yorkville, was largely populated by Germans. Restaurants advertised various krauts and wiener schnitzel. Beer halls lined East 86th Street, with polka music spilling onto the sidewalk, luring in passersby. Some residents, who had arrived generations earlier, made fun of them and their accents. Then in my teen years, the Germans moved up and out to the suburbs and elsewhere and were replaced by Hungarians, and the restaurant “specials” signs now offered “veal paprikash.” Again the same cycle. New York City renews itself with its immigrants. So does America. We need them to remain us. as a first step After coaches and teachers offer wisdom, At the same time, however, they also have opportunities to learn, particularly after the end of one year and the start of Andanother.so it is for Stony Brook University women’s basketball coach Ashley Langford. A year after she took her first head coaching job at Stony Brook, Langford took stock of her experience, while contemplating the next steps.“I’m still high energy and enthusiastic,” Lang ford said at 3 p.m. .on the first day of school from her car as she headed to a late lunch. “I’m still ex cited to be head coach.”

guidance and advice.
“I’m really proud that we made it to another league,” she said. “We have to elevate our level, our intensity. I say, ‘We,’ like I’m still on the team.” Pagan said she still feels committed to a team she helped lead to consecutive conference championships.Thinkingback to the beginning of his daughter’s college basketball experience, India’s father Moises Pagan cited Stony Brook’s eagerness to recruit her.
In her second year, Langford hopes she, her coaches and the team become more visible to the community, particularly because the team plays a “fun brand of basketball.” Her debut season involved ongoing restrictions related to the pandemic, preventing her from connecting with the community. “I need to be more visible,” Langford said. “It’s important that Long Island knows who we are.” She is eager to go into schools and engage with members of the “Communitycommunity.serviceis a huge piece of that,” Langford said. “It’s us going to schools and reading” or interacting in other ways with residents.Thissummer, the basketball program ran an elite camp for players who were not at a recruitable age. Participants in the camp can come back to games for free, which, Langford hopes, can encourage other spectators to join them. “Maybe they’ll bring a friend or two,” she said. The Seawolves coach is excited for the opportunity to compete in the Colonial Athletic Conference. After participating in the America East conference since 2001, the Stony Brook Athletic Department decided to move to the CAA starting this Langfordseason.willrely on some of her knowledge of her competition. Prior to arriving at SBU, Langford spent four years at James Madison University, which is a member of the CAA.
As she prepares the team, which includes four transfer students, for the upcoming season, she believes Stony Brook will be competitive in a demanding conference.
“I know the DNA of certain teams,” Langford said. She recognizes, however, that teams change, which means that the Seawolves have to be “ready to pivot.”
A self-described “high achiever” who “wants to be the best,” Langford acknowledges that she may be an over achiever as well. “Even when I reach my goal, for me, you’re supposed to,” she said. “There were times [last year] when we would win and I wouldn’t be happy. I want us to be our best.”
“The fact that they put this powerpoint together, it blew us away,” Pagan said. “We walked away saying, ‘Stony Brook really wants our daughter.’” BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

Thoughts from a former player and her father Former fifth-year player India Pagan, who is preparing to play professional basketball in Germany this winter (see story in Arts and Lifestyles), remains connected to her former team.
“They are 18- to 23-year-olds,” she said. “They need to enjoy that win, regardless of how it looked. They need to be praised right in the moment.” That doesn’t mean teaching and improving ends after a win. The next day, she said she felt more comfortable talking about how to avoid the possibility of letting a game slip away.
