above, the growth long Island could see in renewable energy resources if the project is approved. Below, how the wind and solar energy would make its way to long Island.

Largest renewable energy project awaits approval By ReBecca anzel The largest renewable energy project ever proposed for Long Island has near unanimous support Clean Energy Link, introduced by Chicagobased private energy developer Invenergy, LLC, would produce 701 megawatts across 55,671 acres — about the size of Long Island’s North Fork. Four wind farms and two solar farms would be privately funded and built in rural areas in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina, and the power generated would be transferred to a substation in central New Jersey and converted from AC to DC. Then, it would be shipped 80 miles underground and underwater by a transmission line and connect to the Long Island Power Authority’s grid at a 3.5-acre facility on Ruland Road in Melville. A spokeswoman from Invenergy said the company submitted a proposal to LIPA, and is hoping it will be granted a contract. It is unclear how much money LIPA is willing to pay for the electricity Clean Energy Link will generate, but if the power authority approves the project, it is expected to be operational by the end of 2020. “I’ve been in this business since 2003 and this is probably one of the most, if not the most exciting project we’ve done,” Mike Polsky, Invenergy’s CEO, said at a press conference on Oct. 24. “It’s a very remarkable, bold and transformational step for New York State, and despite some naysayers, whatever they may say, it will happen.” Clean Energy Link is a step toward achieving a mandate set by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in August that 50 percent of New York’s electricity needs to come from renewable energy sources by the year 2030. The first checkpoint

is a requirement that utilities need to purchase energy from nuclear power plants in the state by April 2017 in an effort to prevent the facilities from closing. “New York has taken bold action to become a national leader in the clean energy economy and is taking concrete, cost-effective steps today to safeguard this state’s environment for decades to come,” Cuomo said in a press release. “This Clean Energy Standard shows you can generate the power necessary for supporting the modern economy while combating climate change.” According to Invenergy, about 9.5 million megawatt hours per year need to be produced by renewable energy sources statewide by 2030, and the Clean Energy Link project would produce about 1.6 megawatt hours per year. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said because Nassau and Suffolk counties have about 3 million residents, it is a “notoriously very difficult place” to build anything. He expressed his support of the renewable energy project at a press conference in part, he said, because Long Island has experienced extreme weather and other impacts from increased carbon dioxide emissions. “We have to be leaders on this issue — Long Island has to be out front,” he said. “... Part of that leadership means identifying what makes sense and maximizing the potential of the things that make sense. We are

more at threat from climate change than just about any other region in the country.” Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said the most important aspect of the project must be its affordability for residents. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, New York had the seventh highest electricity prices in the country in 2015. “The residents need to benefit. Period,” Anker said. “Energy costs are too high and we need to come up with a way to make it affordable for Long Island residents.” One of her other concerns is if local communities are able to give feedback before LIPA officials decide whether to grant Invenergy a contract for the Clean Energy Link project. For Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), Clean Energy Link makes environmental sense because by increasing New York’s use of renewable energy, the state’s reliance on foreign fuel lessens, and therefore its carbon dioxide emissions will decrease. He also said the proposal is economically sound because the project would be constructed in states where land is cheaper and in more abundance than on Long Island, a point echoed by other local politicians. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) said he’s opposed Invenergy’s other project on Long Island — a 24.9 megawatt solar farm in Shoreham on the former Tallgrass Golf Course. It was approved by LIPA in

May and is supported by other Brookhaven officials, who recently passed changes to the solar code prohibiting trees from being cut down for the construction of solar arrays. “I don’t like the idea of solar farms on Long Island that impinge upon or displace green space,” Englebright said. He added that transporting the power the Clean Energy Link project would provide underground is smart, because it would not be subject to disruptions due to weather. “LIPA would be wise to move in the direction that this offers, which is the renewable direction,” Englebright said. “We’re an oceanic island, and putting more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere ultimately drowns us.” To Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), the most impressive aspect of Invenergy’s Clean Energy Link proposal is its “multipronged” approach. Renewable energy should not be produced by just wind or solar individually. The project’s potential impact is greater because it would make use of both. She also said lower energy bills would go a long way toward generating community support. According to Invenergy, the project’s proposed start date was chosen to make full use of federal incentives for solar and wind energy production, a savings that would be passed along to residents. Pine Barrens Society Executive Director Dick Amper agreed that community support is imperative for the success of the project. “If the people who produce solar cut down forests for it, or put it in residential neighborhoods or replace farms that produce food for it, the public is going to turn against solar,” he said. “It took 25 years for everybody to come along and agree we need renewables. They’re not going to like them if we put it in bad places, and we can’t afford to have the backlash because we need solar.”

I feel like one half of the population doesn’t care much about the second half, and I just hope it plays out and works out better than we expect. But I’m surprised. As the night went on, it seemed really obvious. I got calls from my kids from college and they were really upset and they didn’t understand it. I think a lot of young people don’t understand how somebody like that could be elected president today. I hope that he brings everybody together and that there’s not a big divide. He has no experience whatsoever, so I’d be curious what he does for our country by way of how he … represents us. I don’t believe he’s going to be any different, but I hope he surrounds himself with good people that are fair-minded. We’ve made a lot of progress in the last 30-40 years and I think [the Supreme Court] is going to turn back the clock on some of that. On the other hand, having the full Republican Congress and executive branch, they have every opportunity to do good. They have no excuses not to achieve their goals. They can’t blame it on anyone else.

Fred Stahman, Miller Place

I’m happy about the results. I voted for Trump. I believe in a lot of the things he says. I’ve always thought the county needed to be run by a businessman, not a bunch of lawyers, and I think he’s going to stick to what he says. Obviously the American people are happy with what he’s said; they all made the same decision I did. I stayed up until 3:30 in the morning waiting to get an answer. I went to bed pretty pleased. I didn’t believe the polls all along. I really thought he had a lot of people that were in the background who were going to vote for him who didn’t want to come out and say they were going to vote for him … I think he’ll create jobs. I’m for immigration. I think they should let as many people in as possible, but legally.

I am surprised but not completely. I’m hopeful for this country. I’d like to think that he [Trump] will attempt to stick with his promises, and I hope he surrounds himself with extraordinary people that will keep him on track. Reign him in a little bit when he becomes “Donald Trump.” I do wish him all the best. I hope that everyone can unite behind him because we’re all in this roller coaster ride together. He wasn’t necessarily my candidate of choice. I had hopes that we would see history in the making, for the women’s movement, but I wish him all the best.

Graham Como, Smithtown I woke up upset. I really like Hillary. I was a Bernie supporter, Hillary supporter. I’m an environmental science major, so climate change is real and to have a candidate deny science, deny people fair civil liberties and … the fact that human rights is up for grabs right now … The amount of friends that I have are gay, their rights are on the line. Why is this even a question why it matters who someone loves or what gender they identify with. It is repulsive to me, and I’m honestly having a hard time finding hope right now. The only thing I can say as a positive outlook is that this is just setting up for a bigger comeback. He’s probably going to be a one-term president, and this just gives us a chance to come back and unite. I think there’s going to be a lot of people who are going to be really bothered by this, and they’re going to come back and it’s going to swing, like it always does. I was raised with the real ideals of feminism that it’s equal rights regardless of their religion, color of skin, gender, and I think that it’s ridiculous that it’s going to be 2017 and we’re still debating these kinds of things. It’s disgusting.

Dejohn Hall, Bay Shore

We’re doomed. A businessman shouldn’t be able to run a country. He has no political background at all. As the night grew longer, I got kind of scared for Hillary, and I had a feeling he was going to win. I’m a little bit scared. I got some family in the armed forces so I’m a little worried and scared for them. He [Trump] makes some good points, but a lot of things he says — he contradicts himself, he’s a walking contradiction. Pick one thing and stick to it.

Having a ball:

On Oct. 22, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) (second from left) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) (fourth from right) attended the 1st Annual Long Island Young Marines Birthday Ball at the Rocky Point VFW Post 6249. “I was pleased to join with the Young Marines at this very special event,” Romaine said. “The organization’s program focuses on character-building and leadership, promoting a lifestyle that is conducive to becoming a productive member of society, and I am proud to support them.” The Young Marines national youth organization is a non-profit 501(c)(3) youth education and service program for boys and girls, age 8 through the completion of high school. The Young Marines strengthen the lives of America’s youth by teaching the importance of self-confidence, academic achievement, good citizenship, veteran appreciation, community service and living a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. “I applaud the Young Marines organization on their national curriculum, especially on their ‘Closing the Gate on Drugs’ initiative,” Bonner said. “This is a very important issue that many communities are facing today and I am in full support of their efforts to guide our young people away from drugs.”

Celebrated for their service In celebration of New York State School Board Recognition Week, Rocky Point School District took time during its late October meeting to honor the volunteers who serve on the district’s board of education. Before presenting each member with a token of appreciation, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Ring, far left, thanked the individuals for their unwavering dedication and support of Rocky Point’s schools and students.

months out of the year — because you’re the bread and butter of this.” Candidates on both sides viewed this election season as a turning point for the state and country. “It’s not about us candidates, it is about all of you here together and fighting this good fight and wanting to make change, and wanting to make sure that we are representing the people that we know need good representation,” Throne-Holst said during her speech at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 25 in Hauppauge. “We need to bear in mind that we are about unity. We are about moving forward. We are about public service. We are about the issues that matter.” Her opponent expressed a similar sentiment. “When we wake up tomorrow,” Zeldin said, “we have to come together.” Rebecca Anzel, Victoria Espinoza, Donna Newman, Alex Petroski and Kevin Redding contributed reporting.

said, they’re going to try and smack us down.” He added regardless of the results of the presidential election, “we really need to do some soul searching.” He referenced figuring out what will happen with health care coverage, the shrinking middle class, immigration reform, climate chance, gun violence and the tax code. He added there’s more important work to be done. “We have to figure out what’s going on in the country,” he said. “We need to figure out how to bring people back together again to work together.” In local races for the State Assembly, incumbents continued to sweep the North Shore. Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) edged his opponent 58.91 percent to 41.03 percent to continue representing the 4th district. His challenger, Steven Weissbard, called the assemblyman a “goliath,” and added, “If you want to win, you can’t be afraid to fight.” Incumbent Mike Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) outscored Rich Macellaro 69.81 to 30.17 percent in the 8th district to earn his eighth term in the Assembly. Chad Lupinacci (R-Huntington Station) won the 10th district with 58.24 percent of the votes over Democrat Ed Perez for his fourth term, and Andy Raia (R-East Northport) will enter his ninth term in office after garnering 65.26 percent of voters’ support over Spencer Rumsey (D) in the 12th district. “Chad and I — we do our thing, we go to Albany and beat our heads against the desk with the supermajority of New York City,” Raia said during his postelection speech at Huntington Station’s VFW Post 1469. “But we make sure that your voice is heard day in and day out, because you’re what it’s all about.

Mount Sinai falls in Long Island championship games leading to penalty-kick victories,

By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Garden City hasn’t allowed a goal in 460 minutes of postseason play. Despite Mount Sinai’s best efforts — like Caiya Schuster’s 11 saves in goal — one small miscue sealed the deal for the Mustangs, with an early Trojans goal that gave the team a 1-0 win Nov. 4 for the Class A Long Island Championship title. After consecutive scoreless 110-minute

games leading to penalty-kick victories, Garden City received a contribution from an unlikely source in the first half. With Schuster drawn out of the box, sophomore Gracie McManus corralled a loose ball and scored with 16:12 remaining in the half for a well-timed first varsity goal. Garden City (12-4-2) dominated the pace throughout the first half, keeping Casey Schmitt — who scored five goals in the previous two games — contained. Mount Sinai, which won the Class A title as the No. 4 seed, finished the season 12-4-2.

Panthers pound Port Jeff in qualifying round By Bill landon You can’t catch Tyler Ammirato, or block Kevin Gersbeck. The Miller Place junior and senior raced toward victory for their team, touching the end zone five times in a 42-12 victory over Port Jefferson in the Division IV qualifying round Nov. 4. The No. 3-seeded Panthers will travel to No. 2 Shoreham-Wading River Nov. 11 for a 6 p.m. semifinal matchup. “I thought our kids prepared well all week,” Miller Place head coach Greg Murphy said of the days leading up to the seeding-round match. “They did exactly what we thought they were going to do; they performed well.”

Miller Place 42 Port Jeff 12

After just 12 minutes, Miller Place had a four-score advantage over the Royals. First, Gersbeck, a wide receiver, returned the ball 72 yards on the opening kickoff for the early score, and Ammirato, a running back, tacked on the second when he broke outside and ran 15 yards with five minutes remaining in the opening quarter. Senior wide receiver and defensive back Eric Cisneros did what he’s done all season, and split the uprights both times to help his team to a 14-0 lead. Port Jefferson’s running backs tested Miller Place’s defensive line, but time and time again found nothing. Miller Place junior quarterback Anthony Seymour bowled his way up the middle with 2:44 left on a quarterback keeper for the third touchdown of the game, and the Royals were forced to punt the ball away on their next possession. Gersbeck struck again when he shed two tacklers and bolted down the left sideline. Cisneros, who was perfect on the evening, put Miller Place out front 28-0. “They’re a tough team — they always put their heart out there,” Gersbeck said of Port Jefferson. “Our hard work and our preparation — we were focused in practice all week so that was a big part of our win.” The Panthers’ offensive attack featured several players under center. On the next possession, Ammirato took the snap on a keeper, and grounded out 14 yards for the first touchdown of the second quarter. “They came out and punched us in the face on defense a little bit, but we knew that was coming,” Ammirato said. “They played tough, but I think we wore them down a little bit. We definitely got our job done.” Again, the Royals struggled for traction and went three and out. “They’re a very good football team over there, they have excellent athletes — they have some size and they’re coached very well, so I’m not surprised that they came out ready to play,” Port Jefferson head coach

Andrew Cosci said. “I don’t think we played our best game. We played better as the game went on, but after that first quarter, it made it tough to come back.” Cisneros set up the next score after a catch and run where he was forced out at the 1-yard line, and again, it was Ammirato who finished it, giving the team a 42-0 lead heading into the locker room at halftime. “Looking at Port Jeff on film, I thought they had some good kids — decent size — but with their lack of numbers, I thought we could wear them down through attrition with the kids we have,” Murphy said. “We took advantage of that first half and we played Miller Place football.” Forced to go to the air, Port Jefferson junior quarterback Jack Collins started to thread the needle, finding receivers over the middle to move the chains for the Royals. It was their first sustained drive of the game, but Miller Place senior linebacker Shane White put an end to it when he stepped in front of an intended receiver and intercepted the pass. Murphy had rested his starters to open the second half, and although the Royals were on the move again, the drive was halted when junior safety Anthony Filippetti caught a floater for the Panthers’ second interception of the game. He returned the ball 32 yards. Miller Place sophomore quarterback Tom Nealis handed the ball off to his running backs to keep the play inbounds while taking time off the clock, but Port Jefferson averted a shutout with just over eight minutes left to play when Collins took matters into his own hands and bulled his way up the middle on short yardage. Port Jefferson failed to complete the 2-point conversion when Miller Place sophomore defensive back Jon Scarlatos stuffed the runner, but with seconds left in the game, Collins threw a strike to senior tight end Brian Mark who scored a 32-yard touchdown as time ran out. Ammirato said despite the margin of vic-

tory, his team still has work to do. “We’ll study film, practice hard, and go over our game plan every day [for next week],” he said leading up to the game against Shoreham-Wading River. “Our defense has struggled a little all year, but we’ve finally turned that around.” The Panthers lost to the Wildcats, 27-14, Oct. 14, so Miller Place is looking to improve from its one of two division losses this season. “We’ve even been preparing for Shoreham this week in practice, and we’ve been looking for redemption against them since we lost,” Gersbeck said. “It’s going to be a big game.”

Americans must stand as allies for those now feeling alienated

Editorial

Our turn

Stock Photo

Coming together Well, that was a wild ride. But now it’s over. As the sun rises on a new day in America and the dust settles, President-elect Donald J. Trump can bask in the knowledge that, in an election that was not rigged, he won. We are reminded of “The Candidate” — the character Bill McKay, played by Robert Redford in the 1972 film of the same name — who wonders aloud after his extraordinary and unexpected win: “What do we do now?” President-elect Trump was chosen by a majority of Americans in a Brexit-type upset, but he will serve as the president of all Americans. He is now tasked with healing the wounds and bringing the country together. He promised to call upon the best people to advise him and we hope he will do that. Some of the best people may be found on the other side of the aisle. We hope his strikingly unconventional victory will yield a unique governing style that will unify a disparate Congress and enable the business of government to proceed without impediment. We hope he will ascend to the presidency demonstrating the demeanor the job requires now that he no longer has to prove that he is an outsider and a rebel, and that he will make decisions in a measured and thoughtful way. And we’d love to see a flamboyant demonstration of his out-ofthe-box thinking that will serve as a unifying symbol to all Americans. Perhaps the nomination of a noted constitutional scholar to the Supreme Court? Barack Obama will be available when he exits the Oval Office. In the meantime, the most important job for the legacy of President Obama still lies ahead. He is now tasked with convincing the 55 percent of Americans who make up his current approval rating that, for better or worse, we must come together. As he has done consistently for eight years, we expect he will lead by example and with grace.

BY victoria eSPinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Today I woke up with a stronger determination than ever to be an ally. An ally to the LGBTQ community, to the Black Lives Matter community, to the Muslim community, the Hispanic community and every other community that woke up this morning feeling scared of the future. I had gay friends and relatives reach out to me last night as the results were becoming clearer, won-

dering if they’ll still be able to get married, to adopt children, to feel equal. They need to know they still have support behind them. As much as those fears made me want to cry and shut down, the feeling of making sure they knew I was on their side and ready to fight for them was stronger. But then came the embarrassment. It is unacceptable to me that it took Donald Trump becoming president to feel this strongly about being the loudest ally I can for these communities. It took this dark of a cloud for me to see the light and promise to support like I never have before. Voting against him clearly was not enough. Crying out and insulting the people who did vote for him isn’t either. America has been called the great experiment. My God, does that feel accurate today more than ever. We need to keep this experiment moving in the right direction with inclusiveness. This is our country; we do not stop calling ourselves American because we disagree with our new leader.

That’s when we lose. Those, like me, who feel despair after last night’s results can still win. Not can — we must. It has never been more crucial to stand up for those who have felt oppressed during this election cycle. If we don’t lend our voice to those who feel voiceless, then we are truly going backwards in this country. Every American has the right to choose their presidential candidate. Almost every point of view is understandable from a certain angle. Now put yourself in the shoes of the communities today who are terrified of a Trump administration. They are just as American as those who voted for him. They voted differently, but they accept the results and the new leader of this country. And the rest of the country damn well better do the same for them, as an American. With liberty and justice for all — not just pretty words, but a founding principle.

Journalists’ work will be cut out for them Our turn

BY alex PetroSki alex@tbrnewspapers.com One thing that cannot be forgotten in the aftermath of one of the most remarkable and shocking nights in American history is how we were failed by our fourth estate. Polls and projections, save a few here and there, for months gave Donald Trump little to no chance of securing the presidency Nov. 8. This is not because of a slant or bias in polling data but in a complete lack of awareness for a ground swell of sentiment that was made very clear once actual numbers started pouring in on election night, rendering the theoretical data we’d seen for months obsolete. Donald Trump’s shocking victory was not a product

of media bias but of a total media ignorance for what can now be classified as a majority of the country’s feelings when it came time to pull a lever or fill in a circle. This is not to say the media should have given credence to the percentage of voters who cast their ballots Tuesday with less than the purest of intentions, but instead to the political pundits like Corey Lewandowski and Sean Hannity who for weeks used their platforms to warn of a silent vote lurking, waiting to finally make their voices heard when the time was right. What it should do is light a fire under the people now tasked with covering an administration and constituency that believes in opening up libel laws — making frequent lawsuits against journalists far more likely — and has repeatedly accused the media of trying to rig our most sacred freedom as Americans in favor of the other candidate. Our work as journalists will never be more difficult, less appreciated or more important than it will be in the next four years. We need to fundamentally change the way the job is perceived and defined by the millions of voters who selected Trump, no matter how difficult that task may be, or how wrong we may believe they are. Unfortunately, perception is reality. I shudder to think

that perhaps a chunk of voters decided to stay home Tuesday because polling numbers suggested the race was over weeks ago. A large part of our job as journalists is covering the town, village and school board meetings that tend to have a more immediate impact on everyday life than federal politics. They are woefully vacant in most cases and admittedly covered in lackluster fashion. That falls at the feet of the media and the public. The lesson that should be gleaned across the board from this election cycle is that apathy and ignorance are not acceptable excuses. And for those who believe there was a media conspiracy against your candidate, who simultaneously fight tooth and nail for the sanctity of the Second Amendment, don’t forget about the importance of the First Amendment. It’s what allowed pockets of Trump supporters in corners of the nation to spew their passions free of persecution, and that’s the way it should be. Images of a Tshirt worn at a Trump rally made the rounds this week. It read across the back “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.” Don’t forget, the same laws protect journalists, and there probably will be a day during this administration when you’re glad we’re on your side. Alex Petroski is the editor of the Port Times Record.

opinion Passing the peer-pressure character test

T

he other day, my teenage son had a choice. No, he can’t vote and no, he wasn’t ordering a sandwich at a diner with an 18-page menu. He was with some friends who decided they wanted to get a better view of the street and, presumably, their peers who were walking below during a warm fall day. They headed for the roof of a building, where a Private Property No Trespassing sign awaited them. They ignored the sign. When my son By Daniel Dunaief hesitated, they signaled for him to join them. “Oh, come on, you’re not going to be like Joey,” they said in a complaining tone. I don’t know who

D. None of the above

Joey is, but when I heard the story I instantly wanted my son to meet him and hang out with him.“No,” he replied, “but I’m not going up there.” What stopped him? Why didn’t he do whatever he wanted to do or, equally importantly, whatever his friends wanted? The other boys clearly expected him to fall in line, just the way our friends, our parents’ friends and our grandparents’ friends expected us and our ancestors to fall in line, too. We send our kids to school every day to learn about differential equations, the American Revolution, the powerful prose of Ernest Hemingway and the anatomy of frogs and people, but somewhere along the lines, they have to learn to develop a set of values. That can come from a dedicated teacher, who takes time out from a demanding schedule to teach a broader life lesson about the difficulty of making the “right” choice. It can come from a coach, a principal, a neighbor, a parent, a grandparent or

anyone who goes out of his or her way to make sure that our children don’t lose theirs. I understand that this moment isn’t the biggest challenge my son will face. Undoubtedly, someone will come up with an idea, a suggestion or a dare he feels pressure to do. These small moments, however, lead to the bigger ones. It is the slippery slope argument. If doing something that might be a little wrong doesn’t cause problems or have any consequence, maybe doing something larger that might not be exactly right is also just fine because no one noticed or he didn’t get caught. Or, the argument that frustrates me the most, someone else did something worse, so this isn’t such a poor decision. We all have those difficult moments, when someone whose company we enjoy encourages us to do something that might not be in our best short- or long-term interests and when, for whatever reason, that friend insists we participate to demonstrate

our friendship. This is the moment when peer pressure threatens to silence the little voice in our heads that says, “This is probably a bad idea.” We hear so many times about people who either don’t have that little voice or who have so effectively silenced it that the rules of our country don’t apply. They live with a freedom that they find exhilarating, until they get caught. We are painfully aware of the destruction people who tumbled down that slippery slope create for themselves and society, through difficult and self-destructive habits. There are so many other children who, thanks to the effort of the village of supporters around them who point to a true north, develop both selfcontrol and self-confidence that allow them to say, “I’m not going to do that.” Through any age, one of the hardest words for us to say, when those around us encourage us to join them in treading on someone else’s property or rights, is “No!”

doubt it. I also truly doubted it had the outcome of the race been reversed. That’s the marvel of our democratic system. The winner wins, while the loser and the loser’s followers accept the results and fall into line behind the winner — with congratulations and prayers, if not a happy heart. There is a peaceful transition of power. That’s the other cardinal rule of our system. Did Hillary lose because men hate to see women in positions of power? Certainly there are men who swore they would never vote for a woman leader. But that is a regressive and silly oath, as history in the past 100 years has already shown. There have been and will be strong women leaders around the world, and they have been and will be encouraged by the majority of men and women around them. Just look at how many men have been the champions of women, starting with President Barack Obama. Talent, intelligence and leadership are not gender specific. So what, then, is the message from this election 2016? There are probably many messages. Some people,

who voted for what they saw as change, are angry that they have lost their good jobs in industries that are fading in importance with little or no recourse to another. Some resent what they view as unseemly differences in pay between those at the top and those at the bottom of the pay scale. Some are upset that the cost of “Obamacare” health coverage will be rising significantly in the next year. Then there are all sorts of ‘isms” that still plague us: racism, sexism, agism, bigotries of all kinds. For sure, those angry people are most upset because they perceive that the leaders of our society do not hear them. Trump promised to hear them and to help them — all of them. We wish him strength, even as we know government cannot fix everything. This was a vote for change, even if only from Democratic to Republican leadership. It’s the morning after and here we are, willingly or not, back together behind one president. May God bless America, the politicians beg. But God, the bible tells us, helps those who help themselves. May we work together to make our lives, and thus our nation, a still better place to live.

The morning after

N

ow we know. After what seemed like an interminable presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump is to be our next president. For those who are ardent Hillary supporters, it was a stunner. Even for some of the Trump supporters, there was palpable surprise. Most shocked of all, of course, were the pollsters, who were almost all in agreement in predicting a Clinton victory. Perhaps that By Leah S. Dunaief teaches a lesson: When almost everyone agrees on the unknowable, beware. Some of us stayed up long enough to learn the outcome of the race. Some, including me, woke up in the middle of the night to check on the results and were able to catch some part of Trump’s acceptance speech, which was gracious.

Between you and me

And the remainder woke up to the news this morning. Regardless of the time we learned the outcome, and no matter who we cheered for, the reaction was a strong one: Trump is our president-elect. Snatches of thoughts run through the mind, and they present themselves in no particular order. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a thin margin. She and all those who believe were, on the one hand, affirmed. So we might conclude that she was defeated by the rules of the game. Now this is another reversal of what was predicted. There was talk that if Trump won the popular vote but lost the presidency, that his followers would take to the streets and there would be a revolution or at least some violence. Instead Trump lost the popular vote, said he “loves this country,” and Hillary is left as the popular choice but the Electoral College’s loser. So be it. That’s the way the rules are set and both parties played by them. What’s the point? The point is that vote represents the decision of the American people. Is Hillary going to advocate revolution? It is a bit early, but I sincerely
