Plane crashes into harbor Police still searching for 23-year-old man BY PHIL CORSO

Group to host community forum

PAGE A3

Police are combing through the region where Port Jefferson Harbor and Setauket Harbor meet, near Poquott, after a small plane crashed there late Saturday night, authorities said. The small plane, which police said was a Piper PA-28 carrying four people, went down shortly after 11 p.m. near the vicinity of 108 Van Brunt Manor Rd., Poquott Mayor Dee Parrish said. An extensive response from emergency personnel followed, during which three people were recovered from the water — but one remained missing, and that search was ongoing through the beginning of this week, officials said. Police said on Sunday that a student pilot, 25-year-old Bronx resident Austricio Ramirez was flying the plane when the problems arose and turned the controls over to his instructor, 36-year-old Queens resident Nelson Gomez, who landed the plane in the harbor. All the passengers in the four-seater plane were able to exit into the water, after which

Ramirez, Nelson and passenger Wady Perez, a 25-year-old from Queens, were rescued by police. But Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini said the search and rescue operation remained in effect for one missing person, who was identified as 23-year-old Queens resident Gerson Salmon-Negron, with assistance from the U.S. Coast Guard. “We’re going to do everything we can to find that individual,” he said. The three people pulled from

the water were being treated at Stony Brook University Hospital, officials said. They have since been released. Peter Stubberfield of Poquott said he and his wife heard the plane flying immediately above their house, off the harbor, Saturday night immediately followed by the sound of emergency vehicles. “Within minutes of hearing the plane, there were about 15 to 20 emergency vehicles right in front of our private drive,” he said. “There were two helicop-

ters flying around continually, so we assumed something was going on in the water.” Margo Arceri, who lives on the Strong’s Neck side of the water where the plane crashed, said she and her neighbors jumped into action as soon as they noticed emergency vehicles making their way into the small North Shore community. Upon stepping outside Saturday night, Arceri said she watched emergency personnel pull surCRASH continued on page A6

Three Village Community Trust hosts citizen forum By Phil Corso

The Three Village Community Trust announced it would be hosting its winter-spring 2016 “Join the Conversation” series this week with a special discussion from David Calone, former chairman of the Suffolk County Planning Commission. The event is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 25, at 7:30 p.m., inside the Setauket Neighborhood House. In his discussion, Calone will speak about the community’s role in the comprehensive land use planning of the Three Village area, including Route 25A. “The Long Island we inhabit today is the result of choices made by those who came before us,” Calone said. “The future shape of Suffolk County is not dictated to us. Now is the time to set our community goals and — most importantly — to then enact policies to support those priorities that are critical to our common future.” During Calone’s tenure, the county developed and adopted the first comprehensive master plan for Suffolk County in nearly 40 years. It provides a guide for how to harness our region’s assets for growth through 2035 and includes a nationally recognized code for renewable energy use.

“I hope that these talks will prove helpful adjunct to having an informed citizenry to help mover the corridor study to truly reflect the community’s shared vision — and then that the town enacts whatever laws that will help guide development so it is consistent with that vision,” said Cynthia Barnes, president of the Three Village Community Trust board of trustees. Barnes said that county policy decisions are likely to impact the town and local land use policy, making Thursday’s discussion even more important. Therefore, it is important, to consider what is happening in the region even as citizens endeavor to study their local community. “The six critical issues are also relevant to the Three Village area,” Barnes said. “The Three Village 25A Corridor Study and Plan that will be prepared by the Town of Brookhaven with input from the Citizens Advisory Committee and the community at large will need to look at these same ‘critical priorities’ and can benefit from the work done by the county.” The “Join the Conversation” series is open to all and free, or a donation of $5.

North Shore mourns loss of renowned scientist Late physical chemist remembered as founding member of Stony Brook University’s famed chemistry department Francis Truesdale Bonner died early in the morning of Monday, Feb. 15, at the age of 94. A physical chemist, he spent most of his career as a professor at SUNY Stony Brook, before its name was changed to Stony Brook University. He was the founding chairman of Stony Brook’s distinguished Department of Chemistry. Bonner was born in December 1921 in Salt Lake City, Utah, the youngest of seven children. His father, Walter Bonner, was head of chemistry at the University of Utah from 1914 until 1945. His mother, Grace Gaylord Bonner, had earlier been a teacher in Nebraska and maintained the household at a high cultural level, including the study of music and foreign languages. The Bonner siblings studied at the University of Utah and went on to distinguished scientific careers at Cal Tech, Penn, UC San Diego, and other institutions. Bonner took his undergraduate degree from Utah in 1942 and proceeded to Yale for doctoral work in chemistry, with Herbert Spencer Harned as his advisor. At that time, in the middle of the Second World War, highly trained scientists were in great demand. Accordingly, Bonner entered an accelerated program, taking a master’s in 1944 and a Ph.D. in 1945, with a dissertation on the thermodynamic properties of carbonic acid in aqueous solutions of sodium chloride. In 1944, meanwhile, he found himself at Columbia University in the top-secret Manhattan Project, working on the development of metallic materials suitable for use as diffusion barriers for uranium hexafluoride and on the interaction of these materials with uranium hexafluoride itself and also with other corrosive gases. Like many Manhattan Project scientists, he was generally aware of the project’s goal, but when the first atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, he was surprised at the way the weapon had actually taken form. In the following period, Bonner had a leading role in the Association of Manhattan Project Scientists, concerned with maintaining this dangerous discovery within political and humanitarian bounds. During those days in New York, Bonner met Evelyn Hershkowitz, a Hunter College graduate then working for the

Manhattan Project. They married in January 1946 and moved to Oak Ridge Tennessee, where they both worked at Clinton Laboratory, soon renamed Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In 1947, they moved to Long Island, where Bonner took a position with the brand-new Brookhaven National Laboratory. This environment was entirely to his liking, but problems emerged with FBI demands for security clearances. Bonner himself came under no suspicion, but several colleagues, who afterward remained lifelong friends, fell afoul of the emerging McCarthyite agenda. As these colleagues left Brookhaven, Bonner took a position as assistant professor at Brooklyn College. In 1956 he took up a Carnegie Fellowship at Harvard, and after that a consultancy with Arthur D. Little in Cambridge. Those days also saw the publication of his textbook, co-authored with Melba Phillips, “Principles of Physical Science.” In late 1957, Bonner received an offer to join the brand-new State University College on Long Island, located in Oyster Bay but due to transfer soon to a site in Stony Brook donated by the philanthropist Ward Melville. He accepted the offer and became the first chair of chemistry. He took a leading role in recruiting faculty in related areas, especially physics. His main focus, however, was on building a new chemistry department, and he recruited a youthful team that gained international recognition. In those days, academic talent and academic positions were both relatively abundant, and the State of New York contributed substantially to the project. On the ground, however, quarrels emerged over the new institution’s direction and identity. Bonner took his part in those quarrels while maintaining his priority of building his department. His many new hires included Paul Lauterbur in 1963, who was then engaged in research on nuclear magnetic resonance, which resulted afterward in the universally-used technology of magnetic resonance imaging, for which Lauterbur received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2003. With his family, Bonner spent the academic year 1964-65 with a National Science Foundation senior postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre d’Etudes Nu-

cleaires in Saclay, France, near Paris. He then returned to the chairmanship at Stony Brook. When he stepped down in 1970, the department had grown from a handful of faculty and staff into one of the most important and productive units in the discipline, housed in a spacious, brand-new, state-of-the-art building. Bonner returned to the laboratory, mentoring graduate students and authoring and co-authoring articles on nitrogen chemistry, including the small, toxic molecule nitric oxide, which has a role in mammalian physiology. His co-authors included the British scientists Geoffrey Stedman and Martin N. Hughes. From 1983 to 1986, he served as dean for international programs, developing programs for teaching and research, and traveling to Europe, East Asia, and Latin America. He then returned to full-time teaching and research until his retirement at the age of 70 in 1992. Bonner and Evelyn had three children, Michael, born in 1952, now of Michigan; Alisa, born in 1955, who died in 1974; and Rachel, born in 1957, now of

Israel. Evelyn died in 1990. As Bonner entered retirement soon afterward, he continued to do consulting work, but devoted himself mainly to nonscientific pursuits, especially music. He had played the violin since his Utah childhood, and had taken up the viola in his early 40s. He played in a variety of venues and groups, and in this way he met Jane Carlberg, a violinist from Andover, Connecticut. The two married in 1994 and remained together in the waterside house in Setauket that Bonner had owned since 1972. Bonner enjoyed hiking and bicycling and had a deep love of nature. His many friends appreciated his sense of humor, which remained with him right to the end. He spent the last six months of his life at Sunrise Senior Living, East Setauket, and died peacefully of pneumonia at Stony Brook Hospital. A memorial service will be held at noon on Sunday, March 6, at the Bates House in Setauket. — Phil Corso

Recently I was speaking with an accountant about the clients he has seen so far this year. His clients typically like to discuss what is happening in their lives. He was concerned about the number of clients that had not prepared for the cost of college for their children. Consistently these people had sticker shock at the price of college. Private college including tuition, room and board all in is running on average $52,000 and even the state schools, feeling like a bargain, at about $22,000 all in. The accountant was explaining how each of these clients had wished they saved earlier for the cost of college. Clients typically have good intentions yet postpone actually setting up a 529 Plan or college savings fund thinking they have time to save. Unfortunately this next generation is paying the cost with high student loan debt. Planning and understanding what the costs will be could reduce the financial burden and ease the stress of what should be an exciting time when a child is ready to go off to college. As a Certified Financial Planner ™ I deal with professionals across many industries. Just last week I was speaking with a Real Estate Broker who was selling a home that Medicaid had a lien on. Apparently the father had gotten sick, his wife died and he was going to a nursing home. He had not planned for medical and long term care expenses when he retired. As a result he had spent his retirement savings and wealth that he and his wife had accumulated over their lifetime. The couple had been so concerned about leaving an inheritance for their children that they didn’t properly plan for other expenses and risks in life. Simple enough if the couple had gotten the proper insurances and worked with a Certified Financial Planner™ to do a Retirement and Estate Plan they may have been able to leave their children an inheritance, paid for their long term care expenses and avoided having their home taken by Medicaid. These are real stories about real people. As a Certified Financial Planner™ for almost 30 years I have seen and worked with all aspects of clients lives, helping them prepare for today and every day going forward. Proper Financial Planning involves working with clients to identify what is important to them, anticipating their risks and then creating a blueprint that helps the client achieve their goals and protects their wealth. We work with their other advisors to achieve optimal tax efficient strategies, legal protection and philanthropic desires. Call today (631) 439-4600 ext. 291 for a complimentary consultation.

POLICE BLOTTER Incidents and arrests from Feb. 15 – Feb. 20

File photo

Catching up

Police busted a 20-year-old man from Holtsville for grand larceny, more than three months after he allegedly stole cash and credit cards from a 2000 Toyota Corolla parked near Middle Country Road in Selden on Nov. 2. Police arrested him on Feb. 20 around 7:45 p.m. at the 6th Precinct.

Formulaic thief

Between 8 and 8:40 p.m. on Feb. 15, someone stole baby formula from a store on Route 25A in Sound Beach.

vivors out of the water, wrap them in blankets and remove them to the nearby hospital. As the incident unfolded, Arceri said everyone living along the shoreline did something to help, whether that meant picking up a telephone, making way for emergency responders, or even offering up their personal kayaks for rescuers to use to lift the survivors out to safety. “Where this occurred, there are only a few homes, but instantly, the neighbors pulled together,” she said. “They say, ‘it takes a village,’ and these neighbors showed a real sense of community. We all pulled together immediately. I just wish it had a happier ending.” One eyewitness who did not want to be named said she called the police Saturday night after watching the plane fly over her Poquott home and into the water. Seconds after hitting the water, the resident said she heard the survivors in the water yelling to each other. “It sounded like they were talking to each other — not calling out for as-

sistance. I yelled to them to ask if they needed help, but they didn’t hear me at all,” she said. “Within seconds, I saw a large helicopter overhead.” Police arrived soon after, the woman said, and she and her husband offered up their three personal kayaks to rescuers, who used the boats to retrieve the survivors. “I just wish I had put the phone down and run down to the beach,” the witness said. “I just watched. I saw the lights on the plane go out. I’m having a really horrible time with this whole thing.” A spokesman with the Federal Aviation Administration said Sunday that the plane was en route to Long Island MacArthur Airport, after taking off from Fitchburg, Mass., but the pilot was reporting engine issues before attempting a forced landing. Both the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board were at the scene of the crash from Saturday night into the beginning of this week to help with the search efforts, authorities said. Also helping the Suffolk County Police Department and the Coast Guard were local fire departments and the town harbormaster.

A Port Jefferson Station man was arrested on Feb. 17 for unlicensed operation of a car. Police said he was driving a 2011 Ford Fusion when he was pulled over on the corner of Canal Road and Shenandoah Boulevard. Officials discovered he was driving with a suspended license and arrested him at the scene. It was not clear why the man was pulled over.

Teens in trouble

On Feb. 15, a 19-year-old Rocky Point man was arrested for driving while ability impaired in a 2002 Mercedes, after he was going west on Route 25A in Miller Place and was involved in a car crash. Police discovered the teen was intoxicated and arrested. A 19-year-old man from West Babylon was arrested on Feb. 18 for driving while ability impaired on Route 25A in Miller Place, after an officer pulled over the teen for speeding in a 2012 Volkswagen. Police arrested him at the scene around 1:31 a.m.

Old enough to know better

On Feb. 17, police arrested a 60-yearold man from Mount Sinai for driving while ability impaired in a 2002 Hyundai on North Country Road, after he was in a car crash.

Why do so many drivers do this?

A 27-year-old man was arrested for allegedly driving while ability impaired on Feb. 18. Police pulled over the Mastic resident after he failed to maintain his

PEOPLE Setauket Scouts come up big

Boy Scout Troop 70, in Setauket, recently had six Scouts complete the requirements for the Pope Pius XII emblem. Emblems were awarded to Joseph Carnovale, John Ninia, James Kennedy, Frank Mattimoe, Michael May and James Coccaro at a convocation at St. Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre. The Pope Pius Emblem is Catholic Scouting’s church-related ministries and vocation program. It presents life choices, occupations and ministries in the church as calls from God and includes youth-led discussions on current issues facing the church and society. Robert Mandel guided the boys through the year-long process.

The Setauket Scouts celebrate the distinction with Robert Mandel, second from right.

‘Delivering’ literary lessons Students in Rebecca D’Agostino’s kindergarten class at Nassakeag Elementary School learned about the postal service in a hands-on way when they created an operational post office in their classroom. After discussing the importance of this national profession and how mail travels, students learned about the different responsibilities of the postal workers. Then, during the week leading up to Valentine’s Day, students had the chance to fill the various roles, including stamp sellers, letter carriers, sorters and office workers. Throughout the school day, students would assume these roles and carry out numerous jobs to ensure their classmates’ Valentine’s Day cards were delivered on time.

OBITUARY

David Ruland

Photo from Three Village school district

Members of P.J. Gelinas Junior High School music department take part in an official Broadway stage combat workshop.

Training on the great white way Members of the P.J. Gelinas Junior High School music department recently had the chance to go behind the scene of a Broadway musical during the school’s annual trip to New York City. To gain a better insight into the theatrical world, students and teachers took part in an official Broadway stage combat workshop. Here, the group learned how stage combat works during a live performance from Broadway fight choreographers. Then they engaged in a question-and-answer session with two of the ensemble members of Broadway’s “Finding Neverland.” Auditioning, casting and rejection were discussed. Following the workshop, the group enjoyed lunch at Planet Hollywood and then a performance of “Finding Neverland.”

David Ruland, of South Setauket, died on Feb. 9, at the age of 67. He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army who served in the Vietnam War. He was the beloved husband of Eloise Soblick and cherished father of David, Matthew, Jamie DeCesare and the late Lori and Heather Ruland. He is survived by many other family members and friends. Arrangements entrusted to Branch Funeral Home of Smithtown, where a religious service was celebrated. Interment followed at Long Island National Cemetery with full military honors. An online guest book is available at www.branchfh.com.

Congressman Lee Zeldin

Serving those who served us

People who come home after serving our country overseas should not have to cope with mental illnesses stemming from their experiences, but the sad reality is that most veterans have seen or dealt with traumatic things. That means we have to do everything we can for those who return home with post-traumatic stress disorder. U.S. rep. Lee Zeldin (r-Shirley), an iraq war veteran, is on the right track in addressing this. When he was in the state legislature, he established a peer program in which veterans could help one another battle mental issues, and now he is working to take that initiative to the national level. Part of the reason this program is important is that it addresses the stigma surrounding mental illness. The shame people feel deters the average citizen from getting help, but think of how those feelings must be compounded in people who carry the weight of a reputation as one of our country’s bravest and strongest. And even without the fear of appearing weak, veterans have experienced many things others cannot truly understand if they have not served in the military. They need and deserve the support of people who have been in their shoes — people who know what they are going through. Mental illness is often woefully misunderstood as it is, so we must mitigate that as much as possible. Ultimately, we would prefer more resources for military psychiatrists to better identify and treat issues with active servicemen, so they leave their PTSd or other mental or emotional problems overseas, but we will gladly support a national veterans’ peer program to assist those we have so far failed to help.

Combating Zika To The ediTor: The mosquito borne Zika virus has spread at rapid rates across South America, Central America and the Caribbean — infecting individuals in more than 25 countries. Zika has caused widespread alarm across the global community after Brazil reported a rise in the number of cases of microcephaly, a disease that leads tragically to a baby being born with an unusually small head and brain damage, affecting thousands of small children in Latin America. The awful birth defects associated with the virus, and the lack of preventative treatments, have resulted in authorities taking drastic measures in several Latin American countries, including el Salvador, Colombia and ecuador, where women are being urged to stop having kids altogether. What is so concerning about the Zika virus is how easily it can spread. The virus is spread not only through a mosquito bite, but also by contact with infected blood or sexual contact. Furthermore, there is currently no vaccine to prevent, or any medicine to treat, the virus. All of these factors have led the World health organization to declare the Zika virus a public health emergency. Confirmed cases of the Zika

virus have been popping up across the U.S., including at least 3 confirmed cases here in Suffolk County. recent estimates show that 200 million Americans live in areas that could see Zika spread through mosquitoes during the warmer months. With the recent outbreaks and the number of Zika cases among travelers visiting or returning to the United States, it’s only a matter of time before this becomes a widespread epidemic right here at home. As evidenced with the ebola virus epidemic in 2013, which decimated populations across Western Africa, if the proper infrastructure and funding is not put into place before an outbreak hits, the consequences can be truly devastating. That is why we must act now. i recently introduced legislation, the Counterterrorism Screening and Assistance Act of 2016, h.r. 4314, which passed the house Foreign Affairs Committee with bipartisan support on Jan. 7, 2016. one critical aspect of this legislation is that the bill would put in place a monitoring system that would screen for infectious diseases abroad in order to contain and prevent any potential outbreaks. The bill also helps quarantine viruses, authorizing the Secretary of homeland Security to provide the necessary equipment and supplies

to mitigate the risk or threat of infectious diseases, such as Zika. in addition to screening for infectious diseases, my bill would also establish a plan to close security gaps that currently exist that allow terrorists and foreign fighters to travel internationally, as well as establish international border security standards. Furthermore, a reporting system would be established to monitor efforts of foreign governments to combat terrorism and foreign fighter travel and to suspend foreign assistance to countries not making significant efforts to comply. Moreover, U.S. surplus equipment and supplies would be sent abroad to boost security. The Counterterrorism Screening and Assistance Act of 2016 is a measure that is long overdue to not only protect our homeland from terrorism, but also ensure the U.S. is always prepared to combat the spread of any infectious diseases. i will continue to push for the full passage of my Counterterrorism Screening and Assistance Act in the house, and urge my colleagues to bring this bipartisan bill to the house floor for a vote. Protecting America’s security at home and abroad remains one of my highest priorities in Congress.

Reports of 150,000 penguin deaths are greatly exaggerated

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

ecent headlines, displayed prominently on news sites around the world, were alarming, such as: “150,000 Adélie penguins killed by iceberg.” The stories suggested our flightless blackand-white friends were cut off by a Rhode Island-sized iceberg from their food supply. It was too late to save the “Happy Feet” characters. But the reality was anything but black and white.

“These headlines, while eye-popping, are not necessarily true,” said Heather Lynch, an assistant professor in the Stony Brook University Department of Ecology and Evolution. The stories came from a recent study, published in Antarctic Science. Lynch did not participate in the study, but is involved in monitoring penguin populations from satellites. “This idea that [these] penguins have perished doesn’t reflect the biology in hand,” she said. It will take “many years” before scientists are able to sort out the effect of this iceberg on penguin survivorship. That’s because penguins can take a year or two off from breeding during unfavorable environmental conditions, which means that penguins displaced from breeding by an iceberg aren’t likely dead. The scientists in the original study were linking the change in the breeding penguin population at Cape Denison — the site of a research station for

famous Australian geologist and explorer Douglas Mawson about a century earlier — with the number of nesting pairs recorded after the arrival of iceberg B09B in 2010. “There was some concern that there were dead chicks or frozen eggs at the site,” Lynch said. “We need to be cautious about interpreting that as evidence of some kind of catastrophic mortality event. There’s extremely high chick mortality rate under normal circumstances. That is the cycle of life.” Reports about penguins losing habitat, breeding grounds or access to food typically lead to the kind of questions that were central to the “Happy Feet” story: What role do humans have in the process and what action, if any, is necessary to save the birds? Kerry-Jayne Wilson, the lead author on the study and the chairperson of the West Coast Penguin Trust in New Zealand, offered some perspective. “We did not suggest adult penguins had died,” she said

in response to an email request for comment. “Some media outlet started” this rumor. She said she believes most of the missing penguins are probably “out at sea, having assessed conditions as unsuitable for breeding.” The authors sent out a clarifying press release in response to the stories: “It is unlikely many, if any, adult penguins have died as a result of this stranding event. This iceberg stranding event only affects Adélie penguins in the Commonwealth Bay area; the millions of Adélie penguins breeding around the rest of Antarctica are not affected.” So, where did the story go wrong? For starters, a press release announcing the study used the headline: “Giant iceberg decimates Adélie penguin colonies.” The statement suggests that breeding has declined in the area, without indicating that 150,000 of Mr. Popper’s pals perished. I turned to a representative at SBU’s Alan Alda Center for

Be crystal clear about your findings. Communicating Science, which teaches scientists to make their research accessible to the public, to see if there are any lessons from this communication misfire. Elizabeth Bass, director emerita of the center, suggested scientists needed to know their audience when sharing their research. “Be crystal clear about your findings,” she advised. In all the courses the center teaches, the message is to stress characterizing the work in a way that’s “not going to be misunderstood.” Lynch is concerned that these type of stories, taken out of context, make it more difficult to share well-grounded science from future studies with policymakers. “At some point, people stop listening and that’s what concerns me,” she said. “Real science whispers, it doesn’t shout.”

Overturning the role of women in society

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

ast Friday, exactly 53 years ago to the day, a book was published that started by asking the question, “Is this all?” The book, written by Smith College graduate Betty Friedan, is called “The Feminine Mystique” and it is generally considered to have launched a revolution that

changed society in America and around the world. Friedan based the book on a survey she did of her classmates at their 15th reunion in 1957, at which she asked her telling question. At that time women were assumed to be content with their lives if they had a husband, a home and children. The answers she received proved otherwise. For this sample of women, that was resoundingly not enough, and from those answers and her own experience she began to advocate that women be educated not to get a husband but to be an individual. To women today, this thesis seems obvious, but at the time of her book, Friedan’s message was greeted with astonishment. She was overturning the role of women in society that had existed for pretty much all of recorded history. The same week Friedan’s

book came out, my husband and I were married in a beautiful wedding that my parents made for us in New York. That night, we flew to Chicago where my husband was finishing school. I immediately got a job to support us until he graduated and we returned to New York. Were Friedan’s words ringing in my ears? Hardly, for I had recently graduated from a college whose president had repeatedly delivered that same message. These were Barnard College President Millicent McIntosh’s words: “Don’t make your goal in life simply to find a husband. You cannot know what lies ahead for you. You may not find that special person, you may get divorced or be widowed. Prepare yourself for the future by getting a good education.” How true! I was able to support us in those early years

because of my education and was able to carry on and care for my family after my husband died at an early age because of my solid identity. All widows eventually do this. It certainly helped to be prepared. When the youngest of my three children started first grade in 1976, I launched my own business. It was the hometown newspaper you are now reading 40 years later. Within five years after I stepped back into the workplace, women had indeed “left their kitchens,” as Republican presidential candidate John Kasich controversially said this week, to get jobs outside the home. Some started businesses of their own. Some of those women, wives and mothers, helped me immeasurably to grow my business. Women were hungry for a creative role and an individual existence outside the home in addition to their meaningful work

Don’t make your goal in life simply to find a husband. maintaining the family. When more women began to work and the idea of wives earning salaries became more acceptable, the two-paycheck families became the norm. This in turn brought forth all sorts of new issues: latchkey children, gender equality in the workplace, redefinition of roles within marriage, glass ceilings, higher divorce rates, balancing work and family for women and men, the child care industry. All are familiar themes to us now. In a way, my life and those of my contemporaries span the dramatic changes Friedan’s book and McIntosh spoke of, for we are living examples of those truths.
