Gimme shelter animal shelter near Peconic is met with opposition on reconstruction By giSelle Barkley

Kent Animal Shelter has always been close to the Peconic Lake. Maybe too close. The 47-year-old facility was built on River Road in Calverton less than 50 feet from Peconic Lake, which leads to Peconic River. As the lake flows into the river, so does the Shelter’s wastewater. In 2012, the shelter began its process to get a waiver to expand its five-building facility and install a new septic system to avoid contaminating the Peconic’s surface water. According to Pamela Green, executive director of the shelter, the shelter also wants to tear down two of its building and construct one, approximately 10,000 square foot building closer to River Road. The hope is that relocating these buildings will put 300 feet between the shelter and the water, which will limit the amount of wastewater dumped into the Peconic Lake and river. But Richard Amper, executive director of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, said the shelter doesn’t qualify for the waiver for its prospective projects. Although

Amper said the society doesn’t oppose the shelter’s projects, he said the facility’s desire to move closer to River Road infringes on Long Island Pine Barrens’ core preservation area. According to Amper, construction is not permitted by law in that area to help “protect the Island’s purest source of water.” “The only way anyone can get a waiver is to demonstrate that they have no beneficial use of the property absent the waiver, or that public health and safety depends upon the construction occurring in the Pine Barrens core,” Amper said. “Kent does not meet that requirement, and if the waiver were granted, it would create a dangerous precedent for others who want to develop in the Pine Barrens core.” Amper claimed that the shelter’s new proposed septic system would discharge 2,700 gallons of wastewater daily into the land’s underground aquifer. However, Green said the wastewater isn’t in close proximity to the aquifer for drinking water, as the wastewater goes into the Peconic. Currently, the shelter wants to demolish its kennel, which rests

on the river bank, as well as the small cottage located across from the kennel. The shelter also wants to relocate its clinic and include it into the nearly 10,000 square foot building, alongside a new kennel and cat facilities. One of the cat facilities, also on the bank of the Peconic, houses senior cats that will live out their lives at the shelter. Thus far, the shelter has received permits from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Suffolk County Health Department. “The last hurdle is KeNT continued on page a7

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) welcomed volunteers from the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition’s Long Island Chapter to declare September Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Chapter president Linda Rosen provided Bellone with an update on the status of its education and awareness initia-

tives throughout the region, including the chapter’s 9th Annual Run/Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer on Sept. 26 at Belmont Lake State Park. The coalition’s goal is to provide encouragement and assistance to ovarian cancer survivors and their loved ones through a support and networking system.

Miller Place bond project is near completion By Victoria Espinoza

Miller Place school district is on its way to completing the bond project voted in March of 2014. At the board of education meeting on Aug. 26, Superintendent Marianne F. Higuera said the projects are near 80 percent complete. The total projected cost for the bond projects was approximately $7.5 million, when first presented in March of 2014. The board held multiple public meetings throughout 2013 and 2014 for residents to voice concerns and learn more about the planned updates and repairs. Most of the projects are specific to certain schools, with one general project that will affect every school in the district. A district-wide phone system is currently being installed, which will replace the current system that predates 1999. The projected cost is $501,500, and the instillation is expected to be completed by November. At Miller Place High School, tennis courts have been completely repaired, as well as repairs to the baseball and softball fields. The track is 95 percent done to being fully replaced, and additional turf fields and stadium lighting is also at 95 percent completion. The high school qualified for state aid

on approximately $3 million of field and grounds projects, according to the March 2014 board of education presentation. Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School and Andrew Muller Primary School

both had a new security vestibule constructed. Laddie Decker’s is approximately 99 percent completed and the primary school’s work is done. The primary school also had a roof replacement, which has been fully completed. At North Country Road Middle School, there are new tennis courts. Repairs to the baseball and softball fields are basically completed, as well as an irrigation system to improve the quality of the soil. There will also be a roof replace-

ment. The roof replacement projects are expected to cost approximately $1 million, for both Laddie Decker and North Country Middle. Miller Place school district will be reimbursed for 72.4 percent of the costs of all projects, excluding the security vestibules at Laddie Decker and Andrew Primary, according to the board of education. This is a 15-year bond, with an average annual payment of $669,488. The projected tax increase was $1.98.

‘The only way anyone can get a waiver is to demonstrate that ... the Pine Barrens commission,” public health and safety depends Green said, about Central Pine Barrens upon the construction occurring Joint Planning and Policy Commission. in the Pine Barrens core.’ Continued from page A1

Where the commission differs from the Pine Barrens Society is that the commission decides whether the shelter will receive the waiver to expand its facility and upgrade its septic system. The commission is comprised of County Executive Steve Bellone (D); Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R); Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter (R) and Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst (D). A fifth individual will be added at a later date. Amper said the society reached out to these supervisors, who are in the Pine Barrens towns, hoping that at least one of these officials will help provide the shelter with two to three acres of property for the shelter to expand and install a new septic system. Green added that the Pine Barrens Society is threatening the commission with a lawsuit if the commission grants the shelter a hardship permit, which Green believes the shelter is eligible for as parts of the shelter are dilapidated and won’t be useful once the shelter cannot use the facility.

But Amper said this is a standard procedure. He also said even if the commission likes the shelter’s proposal, they can’t legally grant a waiver to the shelter to build on the area. “If the commission is allowed to say, ‘We don’t care what the law says; we just like this project,’ then there’s no protection of the core area and the underground water supply,” Amper said. “The commission can’t make the law nor can they make decisions that contradict the law. It’s not that any of us dislike what they’re proposing; it’s not the value of the project, it’s where they’re proposing to build it.” Romaine denied to comment on the issues and process the shelter is experiencing. “As a member of the Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission, it is not appropriate for me to comment at this time regarding an issue which

is still under consideration,” Romaine said in an email. The commission will vote on whether the shelter will receive a waiver on Oct. 21, at the Pine Barrens Commission meeting at Brookhaven Town Hall, according to Amper. The shelter will need three out of five votes to acquire the waiver to go through with its reconstruction plan, including the installation of a new septic system. “We’re trying to prevent [surface water contamination] from happening by putting a new septic system and removing the channel off the river and abandoning the leaching field,” Green said. “This would be an upgrade for the environment.”

Soak up the sun with program’s kick-off workshop SUNation chosen to work with town to bring affordable, high quality solar systems to Brookhaven residents Brookhaven and its partners, Suffolk County Community College and Renewable Energy Long Island, will take part in Community Solar NY, a program that will make investing in solar power easier and more affordable for local residents and businesses. The Solarize Brookhaven program will kick off with a workshop on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Brookhaven Town Hall Auditorium at One Independence Hill in Farmingville. Residents and business owners interested in learning more about Solarize Brookhaven are urged to attend. More information about Solarize Brookhaven can be found by visiting www.brookhaven.org or by contacting SUNation Solar Systems at 631-750-9454. Community Solar NY makes implementing solar easier and more affordable by supporting locally-organized community outreach aimed at getting a critical mass of area homes and businesses to in-

stall solar and obtain competitive pricing, thereby lowering the cost. Historically, Solarize campaigns have lowered the cost of solar 10 to 20 percent. After a thorough pre-qualification process, Solarize Brookhaven has selected SUNation Solar Systems of Oakdale as the designated solar installer for Solarize Brookhaven. Residents and businesses who sign up for solar installations will be able to take advantage of group rates below market prices. The more customers who sign up, the lower the price will be for everyone. “Earlier this year, I announced my Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Initiative as part of a five-year plan to reduce 50 percent of the town’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2020,” town supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said. “I’m also asking Brookhaven residents and business owners to join me and do the same. This program will give people the opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment and save money on energy bills.”

Solarize Brookhaven is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, under Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s NY-Sun initia-

tive. NY-Sun will invest up to $1 billion in solar power through 2023 to significantly expand solar installations across the State, transforming New York’s solar industry to be self-sustaining. “SUNation is proud to be chosen to work with The Town of Brookhaven and NYSERDA to bring affordable, highquality solar systems to Brookhaven residents,” said Mike Bailis, co-founder and executive solar designer of SUNation Solar Systems. “We will strive to exceed all expectations and make the Solarize Brookhaven program the best in the state.” Under NY-Sun, the growth of solar in New York State has increased more than 300 percent from 2011 to 2014, which is twice the rate of U.S. solar growth overall. A total of 314.48 megawatts of solar electric was installed across the state as of December 2014, equivalent to powering more than 51,000 homes.

Town repaves and restripes Randall Road in Shoreham Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) have teamed up to have the major thoroughfare Randall Road repaved and restriped in the hamlets of Ridge and Shoreham. “The widening and re-paving of Randall Road is a major improvement that will ease traffic flow and reduce congestion,” Bonner said. “I commend and thank Superintendent Losquadro and the Highway Department for their continuing efforts to make driving more convenient and safer for everyone.” This roadway extends from Whiskey Road to New York State Route 25A, with Albert G. Prodell Middle School, three highly populated retirement communities and several neighborhoods located directly off it.

Randall Road has also been widened where it meets Route 25A. The widening of the street has accommodated the installation of a new, dedicated left-hand turning lane for motorists turning westbound onto 25A, increasing capacity at the intersection and preventing cars from getting backed up at the traffic light. “This roadway serves as a connecting point for motorists traveling between mid-Brookhaven and the North Shore,” Losquadro said. “I was able to coordinate the paving and road widening projects at the same time in order to cause as little inconvenience as possible to residents and motorists. Now that the project is complete, it is very gratifying to know we were able to address the concerns of residents living in both Ridge and Shoreham with one project.”

Randall Road received a makeover, getting repaved and restriped.

Local manager keeps customers coming back By Giselle Barkley

Smile. That’s what Gary Shek tells his employees at Wasabi Steakhouse in Miller Place. As the manager of the hibachi restaurant, Shek’s main concern is providing good service by tending to the customers and ensuring high-quality food — two reasons that encourage new and repeat customers to return to the restaurant. The four-star establishment opened March 23, 2014. Since then, Shek is usually the main employee greeting guests when they arrive, and sends them off when they leave. While it may take him a couple tries, it doesn’t take long before Shek remembers the names and faces of his customers, which adds to the guest’s experience. “Let’s say I see your face [one time], a year later, I will still say hi,” Shek said. “You make [the customer] feel like [they are really important]. Of course, business is very important, but the customer, you have to make them feel like family.” According to Shek, some hibachi restaurants focus on having a classy or elegant style, while he wanted his restaurant to be more family oriented, since many of the residents he serves are families who may remain in the area until their kids graduate high school. Kenny Ching, one of the owners of the restaurant, has known and worked with Shek since the mid-1990s. They met while working at the Secret Garden Tea Room in Port Jefferson. Ching said working with Shek is easy.

“I don’t have any pressure,” Ching said. “He can handle [work] pretty much himself. I don’t have to follow him. Training managers isn’t always easy.” Shek credits his management skills to working in the hotel business in Hong Kong before he moved to Long Island in 1990. It was at the hotel where Shek tried to remember the names of hotel guests. It wasn’t until he transitioned to the restaurant business that Shek saw the difference between the hotel and restaurant business. “From the hotels I [saw] the international [people from] different countries,” Shek said. “But here, [there are] local residents so I have to keep smiling every day [even if] I have a bad day.” From 1995 to 1998 Shek also managed a Chinese restaurant for one of the

individuals who owns Wasabi Steakhouse alongside Ching. Although Shek and Ching have to remember more types of dishes now than they did working at Chinese restaurants, they do their best to serve their customers and answer questions about the menu. The service, as well as the food, is what keeps customers like Diana McGeoch and her family and friends coming back to Wasabi Steakhouse. “We come here all the time,” McGeoch said. “Too many [times] to count. Fifteen plus maybe.” “And he remembers us every time,” Brain Murray, a friend, said after McGeoch. “[The atmosphere is] very warm and welcoming. [Shek remembering our names] makes you feel special when you

come here.” Jean Casola of Rocky Point is another customer who dines at the restaurant for its service and high-quality food. Casola discovered the restaurant last year when she was celebrating her wedding anniversary. “First of all, the service is amazing and polite beyond belief. Then the food comes out just the way you want it,” Casola said as she ate her dinner. Shek said the restaurant goes out and picks up fresh cuts of fish and meats nearly twice a week, but also has fresh food delivered nearly five times a week. Leftover food is discarded after a day or more passes. According to Shek, some restaurants turn this food into an allyou-can-eat buffet. While Shek acknowledges that people come back for the food and for hibachi, he doesn’t believe people come back to the restaurant because of him. “I just want to be a successful manager,” Shek said. But customers like Casola think differently. Recently, Casola helped her daughter Faith pack for Pfeiffer University in North Carolina. She said her daughter misses eating at the restaurant, and in 30 days, so will Casola. She and her husband are moving to North Carolina to be closer to their daughter, but packing up means leaving Shek’s service and food at Wasabi Steakhouse. “I don’t think they’re going to have anything like this there,” Casola said. “And they’re just not going to have another Gary, that’s for sure.”

Animal group sues SBU for info on lab test dog By Phil Corso

An animal rights group has a bone to pick with Stony Brook University. The Beagle Freedom Project, a national laboratory animal advocacy group, has filed a petition in the state Supreme Court against Stony Brook University with hopes of compelling the school to provide documents relating to Quinn, a dog being housed at the university for animal testing and research. The group, alongside supporter Melissa Andrews, made a Freedom of Information Law request to Stony Brook for documents as part of their “identity campaign,” which allows individuals to virtually adopt dogs or cats being held or used in experiments. The petition accused Stony Brook University of failing to provide a full response to the FOIL request, providing only five pages of heavily redacted documents. Among the five pages provided was a form appearing to indicate that Quinn and his littermates had been purchased from Covance Research Products, Inc., the group said. Currently, most universities routinely euthanize all such “purpose-

bred for research” animals, the group said. In a statement, a spokesman for the Beagle Freedom Project said the group hopes that the documents help to identify opportunities to provoke post-research adoptions of healthy laboratory dogs and cats. The petition also challenged Stony Brook University’s claim that it has no further documentation relating to Quinn, pointing out that certain documents are required to be maintained by the Animal Welfare Act and that other publicly funded universities responding to similar requests had produced hundreds of pages of documents. In the petition, BFP and Andrews argued that Stony Brook University and the other respondents did not articulate a particularized or specific justification for denying access, as required, and that there is no such justification. “Stony Brook is either lying about the records they are keeping or they are in violation of federal recordkeeping requirements,” said Jeremy Beckham, research specialist for the Beagle Freedom Project. “Either way this is troubling and the taxpaying public, forced to fund these experiments, have a right

Though Hughes was a special player, according to Millheiser, he has the utmost confidence in Curran’s abilities. “I think he has the ability to do the things that Danny did, but he’s gaining experience,” he said. “He’s still going to have to learn the football side of it. You don’t just walk into a huddle and have the kids follow you. You got to kind of earn that from them. There’s no doubt in my mind that he will, but it’s going to take a little bit of time.”

Residential Styles Learn about the home styles in your market and beyond. Our Residential Styles guide includes illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions about popular styles. Plus, use our Home Features guide to learn about architectural elements such as dormers, roofs, and arches that make a property distinct.

Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from onestory cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you'll find rustic exteriors and sheltered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, this style can be house boxy or lowslung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape Cod homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straightedge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rectangular design and secondfloor bedrooms.

Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian's classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt. Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Victorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and

Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian With paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty. Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door. Gothic Revival English romanticism influenced this style, marked by Gothic windows and vaulted roofs. Spanish Eclectic This style has details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Greek Revival Entryway columns and a front door surrounded by rectangular windows are characteristic. Split Level A Modern style, Split levels sequester living activities, such as sleeping and socializing.

International The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts. Stick Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards are typical of this Victorian style. Italianate This style has symmetrical bay windows in front, small chimneys, and tall windows. Tudor Tudors have half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and steep cross gables. Monterey The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an Adobe brick exterior. Victorian Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture incorporated decorative details such as patterned shingles. National Rooted in Native American dwellings, the National style is rectangular with sidegabled roofs. 7KH DERYH LQIRUPDWLRQ LV SURYLGHG E\ 7KH 1DWLRQDO $VVRFLDWLRQ RI 5HDOWRUV Â&#x160;

OPINION editoriAL

Sharing stories just as important as ever

File photo by Matt Calamia

Former Town Clerk Patricia Eddington officiates as Linda Beinhauer and Terry Lehn tie the knot in front of family, friends and the media at Brookhaven Town Hall when marriage first became legal for gay couples in New York State, in July 2011.

‘So help me God’ to the editor: over the years, there have been many jokes with regard to the backwardness of the back hills people of Kentucky. But i see nothing to joke about in the current situation. A county clerk has refused to issue some marriage licenses because, she says, her religious beliefs will not permit her to issue these

licenses to same-sex couples. i believe Kentucky still follows the practice of using a Bible when swearing in elected officials such as this county clerk. The elected official places his or her right hand on the Bible and swears to uphold the laws of the United States, the state of Kentucky and the county, “so help me God.” in this instance, when the clerk took that oath, she apparently lied both to the people of her county

and to the God she claims to believe in. i don’t claim to know which would be the greater sin, issuing a marriage license to a samesex couple or lying to God, but i believe it would be lying to God. Lying, however, when taking the oath of office is, i believe, grounds for impeachment. But that’s one man’s opinion. Francis G. Gibbons Sr. terryville

This month, hoards of Long island students started their first year of high school. Almost all of those new ninth-graders were born in 2001, and they were either infants during the 9/11 terrorist attacks or still growing in their mothers’ bellies. it’s shocking that we’ve reached this point, since the memories of what happened that day are still tender for so many of us. how can they be 14 years past? But time, as it always has and always will, marched along and here we are. The kids who are in ninth grade now will be in college in no time, and the professional world after that. They will be part of a generation of adults who will discover new cures for diseases, build new developments in our neighborhoods, create new art to share their feelings about the world we all live in. it’s crucial that we impart to them how significant Sept. 11, 2001, was and continues to be, and how much it changed the world. There’s a mantra we hear so often that we hope it doesn’t lose its power: Never forget. We say it in particular about the holocaust and the other horrors of World War ii, such as the attack on Pearl harbor, and it carries a lot of weight in that context because there are so few holocaust survivors and WWii veterans who are still alive. But it is also appropriate to say in the case of 9/11, this society’s day that will live in infamy. however, in light of the milestone we have reached, of our children born in 2001 reaching a significant level of maturity and awareness, we would add something to that concept: Never forget, and never stop talking.

Deer village board to the editor: This is an open letter to Mayor Margot Garant and the members of the board of trustees of Port Jefferson Village regarding Belle terre’s proposal to allow bow hunting of deer in their community: Please stand up and tell Belle terre’s mayor and its board of trustees that the residents of Port Jefferson Village do not want hunters and trappers invading our homes, our beaches and our country club. Because Belle terre is surrounded by Port Jefferson, access to Belle terre is gained over our roads and through our neighborhoods. Belle terre officials would have us believe that the hunting will be conducted only by highly skilled bow hunters, at night

and out of sight, without risk to our residents. how do we know this? Who is going to monitor it? do wounded deer know where the village borders are located? Will we be confronted by armed strangers when we go for a walk or carry the garbage to the curb in the morning, or when we put our children on the bus for school? is that man dressed in camouflage and carrying a weapon, knocking on our front door in the middle of the night, a hunter looking for permission to enter our property to kill a wounded deer, or is he a disguised home invader? Belle terre’s attempt to sugarcoat its invitation to trappers by prohibiting snap traps and allowing trapping only by box traps is equally unavailing. An animal left in a box trap will die of dehydration within

a day or two. how many of our beloved pets will die in these traps because they aren’t found in time? one of the expressed purposes of the deer hunting proposal is to prevent the spread of deer ticks, and thus the trapping ordinance is counterproductive; traps kill red and gray foxes, key predators of the mice that also carry these ticks. Belle terre’s proposed legislation is ill-conceived, misguided and, most of all, a serious threat to the peace and safety of our community. Please tell them, “No.” James W. hoerger Port Jefferson File photo

Belle Terre Village has proposed lifting its ban on deer hunting as a means of controlling the local population.

A primer for parents in Disney’s magic kingdom

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

isney has owned the imagination of children’s minds for decades. When I was a child, I certainly was well aware of Mickey Mouse and all his pals. “Mic” — see you real soon — “key” — why? Because we like you — “Mouse.” The catchy and inviting songs and cartoons helped define my childhood, much the way endless texting, emojis and Taylor

Swift songs do for this generation. Recently, we took our son to the Broadway production of “Aladdin.” While the singing, dancing, staging, choreography, sets and lighting were truly spectacular, something occurred to me. What role do parents play in these Disney stories, which become the foundation of our children’s cultural legends? Looking at Aladdin himself, the Broadway version suggests he loved his parents and that he thinks they were spectacular people. That’s nice, but they are gone from the picture, which makes them invisible saints, who help by inspiring him to be better or reminding him from a distance that he hasn’t done much with his life besides living as a “street rat” with a heart. Then, there’s the ridiculous, all-powerful sultan. He has educated his daughter and given her a chance to think for herself. Ultimately, though, he wants her to get

married so her husband can rule the kingdom. That’s an inconsistent message from one of the many single parents Disney has brought to life. How, exactly, can he not notice that his evil adviser manipulates him and is clearly out for his throne? Despite Jasmine’s fury with Jafar, the sultan doesn’t see Jafar for what he is. It seems this well-intentioned wealthy man who lives in a spectacular castle doesn’t listen to his daughter. In “Beauty and the Beast,” Belle’s father Maurice, who is also a single parent, is an absentminded genius she has to protect. Peter Pan? He takes kids away from their parents to Never Never Land. In “The Little Mermaid,” Ariel runs away from her father Triton to pursue a life — and a love — he has forbidden. Looking for Ariel’s mother? She’s not under or above the sea. Speaking of a child without a mother, in “Finding Nemo”

poor Nemo grows up under the overprotective fin of his humorless clownfish father Marlin. Sure, Marlin is heroic but he has a long journey, physically and emotionally, to find his son — and in a way, himself. I don’t recall seeing Cinderella’s father at all, leaving her with the evil stepmother — seems like a bad call on the father’s part there, too — and her horrible stepsisters. Maybe taking away parents — or turning them into buffoons — creates plot points that these heroes have to overcome. It gives them a chance to learn to trust themselves and their friends and to believe in who they are. I realize the stories aren’t about the parents and maybe, in some backhanded way, these stories encourage kids to find courage when their parents can’t simply hand it to them or purchase it online from Amazon. I guess there wouldn’t be as much of a heroic role for a child who helped conquer something

just by learning or listening to his well-intentioned parents or to grandparents who attend every concert and are eager to hear about school. Taking parents away, or giving them questionable judgment, creates opportunities for kids to take control of their perilous lives. Perhaps Disney has bequeathed real-life parents a gift through all these invisible or flawed guardians. It gives the rest of us a chance to say, “I messed up here, honey, but it could be worse: I could be a Disney parent.” Daniel Dunaief’s recent book, “The Other Parent,” may be purchased online from www.tbrnewsmedia.com/ebooks.
