Brookhaven talks budget Funding would increase for snow removal By Giselle Barkley & elana Glowatz

Brookhaven Town won’t ask for more money from residents next year, according to Supervisor Ed Romaine’s 2016 budget proposal. Romaine (R) revealed his nearly $281 million budget plan at a meeting on Oct. 1, touting its benefits of complying with the state-imposed limit on property tax increases and putting more funding to-

ward snow removal as the winter season approaches. Crafting the budget was a challenge given the tight limit on how much the property tax levy could increase, according to Romaine — the state’s limit was 0.73 percent this year. Despite that, “I support the tax cap because I understand what the tax burden is on the taxpayers of this town,” Romaine said during a meeting with the BUDgET continued on page a12

Ban on microbeads passes county legislature By Phil Corso

A push in the Suffolk County Legislature to ban the sale of personal care products containing microbeads was met with unanimous approval on Tuesday, as state and federal lawmakers are also signing on to the cause. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) celebrated the unanimous vote on Tuesday for legislation crafted with the goal of washing the county free of the tiny, potentially hazardous plastic particles linked to several issues affecting waterways. She stood alongside environmental experts at the county Legislature building in Riverhead, referring to the new ban as a means of keeping Long Island and its surrounding waterways safe. “There is no place for plastics in our vulnerable bays and waterways,” said Hahn, chair of the Legislature’s Environment Committee and author of the bill. “Microbeads have been found in our precious Long Island Sound, and my legislation will protect our environment, protect our health and protect our fishing and tourism industries.” Microbeads, which are usually between one and five millimeters in diameter, are typically not filtered out by most wastewater treatment systems. This poses the risk of the tiny beads making

their way into surface waters, picking up toxins as they flow from one source to the next. Because of their tiny size, the toxin-laden particles can sometimes be mistaken for food by small fish and other aquatic species. But it does not end there. Once the aquatic life consumes the potentially harmful microbeads, they could then make their way into larger living organisms and eventually into the

human food supply. The county legislation said that manufacturers of several personal care products have added the small plastic beads to their facial scrubs, body washes, toothpaste products and select soaps and shampoos over the past 10 years. Now that it has passed, Hahn’s law will go into effect Jan. 1, 2018, and prohibit the sale of any personal care products that contain microbeads in Suffolk County.

Six months before that deadline, Hahn said the Department of Health Services will begin informing retailers selling products that contain microbeads of the new regulations, and enforcement will come through random inspections of at least 10 retailers per quarter in 2018. Anyone who violates the law will be subject to a civil fine of up to $500 for a first offense, a fine of up to $750 for a second offense and a fine of up to $1,000 for all subsequent violations. Microbead legislation has been gaining traction beyond the Suffolk County level over the past year, with elected officials on both the state and federal levels stepping up to promote the ban of such products. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman visited Long Island over the summer to announce the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015, a bipartisan federal bill that would also ban cosmetics containing the plastic pellets. Gillibrand’s bill had sponsors and co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle, most of them from the Midwest, according to a press release from the senator’s office. It is similar to a New York statelevel bill of the same name, which is Schneiderman’s effort to prohibit the sale and distribution of products containing microbeads.

Three Village district dishes new pre-K programs By AndreA Moore PAldy

Little ones burned off energy as they played on the newly installed playground just outside their classroom. Inside, little chefs whipped up imaginary creations in a play kitchen, while a few yards away, eager fingers grasped crayons, poised for writing. This was a typical morning for preschoolers at Nassakeag Elementary School, where the Three Village Central School District is partnering with SCOPE Education Services to offer a tuitionbased prekindergarten for 4-year-olds. Like most preschools, the day starts with a morning meeting and includes lessons in literacy as well as art. There are learning centers and outdoor play. Kristin Rimmer, Nassakeag assistant principal and prekindergarten liaison, said what makes this program stand out — in a community with no shortage of preschools — is its role in easing students’ transition to kindergarten. “We have an understanding of what the expectations are in our kindergarten programs,” Rimmer said. Rimmer, who began her career as a kindergarten teacher, said she worked with the district’s kindergarten, first and second grade teachers to develop a curriculum that emphasizes the skills students will need in the early elementary grades.

She then collaborated with SCOPE, which runs several universal prekindergartens and fee-based programs across the island, to create a curriculum specific to the needs of future Three Village students. “We’re really giving them those building blocks in this program that they can use to transition up into the kindergarten program,” she said. For instance, the preschool uses “Fundations,” the same phonics program used in Three Village primary grades. Rimmer added that New York State-certified teachers, hired and supervised by SCOPE, use multi-sensory approaches to guide students in a way that is developmentally appropriate and fosters creativity as well as social and emotional growth. “Though there is an academic focus, the way that we are delivering that instruction is through play and through interactive activities,” she said. SCOPE, which offers programs in neighboring Comsewogue, Commack and Hauppauge, handles the staffing, licensing and day-to-day operation of the preschool. Tuition payments — $400 a month for half-day and $1,100 for full day — are paid to SCOPE. Mellisa Krauss, supervisor for prekindergarten programs at SCOPE, said the organization “had great administrative support to implement and maintain” the program. “We collaborate on all aspects. It’s a

team effort,” she said. Krauss said there are currently 29 students enrolled in the new prekindergarten. Of that number 18 attend halfday, 8:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. or 11:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., and 11 are in the full-day program that runs from 8:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Parents can extend the day by enrolling their children in school-aged childcare for an additional fee. The preschool follows the Three Village school calendar, which means it issues progress reports and holds parent-teacher conferences on the district’s schedule. Rimmer said that information from the quarterly assessments would be used to measure the strengths of the program and determine what improvements can be made. The district spent $24,000 on the purchase of playground equipment for the

preschool. The funds came out of the district’s portion of the Smart Schools Bond, money earmarked for learning technology and prekindergarten spaces, said Jeffrey Carlson, assistant superintendent for business services. Rimmer said early entrée to the Three Village school community provides the opportunity to identify students who may need additional help and to help parents get special services that might be needed. Since the preschool is open to Three Village residents and children of district staff, families are invited to join the Nassakeag PTA and to take part in the school’s upcoming harvest festival. Though the program is a little more than a month old, the addition of a three-year-old program will be considered if there’s a need, Rimmer said.

Three Village schools talk test scores, enrollment By AndreA Moore PAldy

Enrollment in the Three Village school district has hit a historic low. That’s some of the news Kevin Scanlon, assistant superintendent for educational services, delivered at the district’s second school board meeting in the new school year. His numerical snapshot of the district also included state assessment and Regents scores, as well as statistics for the Class of 2015. Enrollment, Scanlon said, has been declining steadily by about 200 students each year. Current enrollment is 6,472 compared to 6,723 last school year. With 348 students, this year’s kindergarten is little more than half the size of last year’s graduating class, he said. Scanlon said, though, that the district is taking advantage of declining enrollment to decrease class sizes in elementary grades and reduce study halls in the secondary schools. In an interview following the meeting, the assistant superintendent added that Three Village has been able to appoint a STEM teacher at each of the elementary schools. Even as student numbers go down, the poverty rate has climbed a percentage point to 7 percent. Scanlon’s report also indicated that district spending per student has increased from $16,137 to $17,554.

On a more controversial matter, Scanlon reported that the refusal rate in this year’s state tests for third- through eighthgrade students was 58 percent for English language arts and 57 percent for math. Of those who opted out of ELA this year, 48 percent had passed it in 2014. Those who opted out of math this year and took it in 2014 had a 59 percent pass rate last year. Though the Three Village 2015 ELA results reflect only 42 percent of students in the testing grades, the pass rate jumped in all grades, increasing between 4.15 and 12.7 percentage points, a comparison of the two years shows. The highest pass rate was 61.9 percent in eighth grade. The passing rate on the math exams, which reflected 43 percent of students in the grades tested, also saw gains. Fourth grade had the largest increase — 11.16 percentage points — and a 77.2 percent pass rate. Scanlon said that there was a 3.93 percentage point drop in the eighthgrade math results because the majority of eighth-graders took the Algebra Regents exams instead of the eighth-grade state test. The 2015 assessment and Regents report showed that all scores in both disciplines were well above the New York state, Long Island, Nassau County and

Suffolk County averages. New York state averages for all students were 31.3 percent for ELA and 38.1 percent for math. When compared to neighboring districts — Commack, Half Hollow Hills, Hauppauge, Northport and Smithtown — Three Village’s ELA scores surpassed other districts in all grades except seventh. Seventh-grade scores were only 0.1 percentage point lower than the second highest-scoring district. Three Village’s math scores were either first or second in all grades, except for eighth. Algebra students took both the old integrated algebra and the Common Core-aligned Algebra I exams. Scanlon said the higher of the two scores will be used on transcripts. The report showed that except for geometry, there was a dip in the math Regents scores. Pass rates remained high — in the 90s — for science, history and social studies Regents. In other good news, the class of 2015 maintained the district’s 99 percent graduation rate and had a 95 percent college acceptance rate. This year also saw the highest number of Advanced Placement scholars ever, Scanlon said. The 293 students received the honor based on the number of AP exams they took and their average score, he explained. This number includes current students, as well as those who graduated last June. In other news, the board voted on

PERSPECTIVES

North Shore hospitals improving our health care Your turn

BY Ken LaVaLLe

Today, we live in a fast-paced society where change is no longer measured year-to-year but is determined in minute-to-minute increments. By the time we master a new technology or system, it is time to upgrade to the next. Perhaps there is no better example of fast pace change than in the world of health care. Doctors are now employed by hospitals, hospitals are joining hospital systems and hospital systems are expanding into new geographical areas creating an atmosphere of competition unprecedented in years past. In this dynamic health care environment, I take great pride in the fact that two of our local hospitals have recognized that by working together, the quality of health care in our community significantly improves. We are fortunate to have Stony Brook Medicine — an outstanding, tertiary care hospital and research-intense medical school, in close proximity to John T. Mather Memorial

Hospital — one of our region’s premiere community teaching hospitals. In years past, a patient oftentimes had to choose between the two hospitals in determining their level of care. Today, the hospitals work together to provide access to quality care and services through state-of-the art technology. For example, recent clinical research at Stony Brook established a new approach to the definitive diagnosis of cardiac disease in patients with chest pain. Stony Brook then spread this technology to Mather Hospital, so that a patient entering Mather with chest pain has their cardiac CT scan read remotely by doctors at Stony Brook, reducing unnecessary hospital admissions. Mather has also teamed up with Stony Brook radiologists who read all of the radiology studies, CT, MRI and X-rays, for Mather Hospital patients. The two hospitals have implemented a seamless transfer process for patients with complex medical problems that require services available only at the tertiary care hospital. For example, patients arriving at Mather Emergency Department with stroke symptoms are rapidly assessed and treated. Those patients who require neurointerventional therapies are transferred to Stony Brook where neurosurgeons can move quickly and remove or break up clots, saving brain tissue and thereby improving brain function following recovery. On the educational front, Stony Brook currently sponsors the training of internal medicine residents at Mather Hospital, providing a mechanism to attract and maintain quality doctors in the years ahead.

Stony Brook Medicine and John T. Mather Memorial Hospital are working together to deliver top-tier health services to the greater north Shore of Long Island community.

The relationship between Stony Brook Medicine and Mather Hospital demonstrates what can be achieved when institutions make the commitment to reach out and complement each other’s strengths. In this case, the results have brought about improved and more efficient health care services at a cost savings achieved by eliminating duplication. As we continue to navigate the quickly changing health care landscape and focus more on health management

Andrew Polan has had a busy year. The North Shore native was recently re-elected to serve another term as president of Three Village Chamber of Commerce. Over the summer, he was appointed the next president of the North Shore Jewish Center over the summer, and was sworn in in late September. Polan has been a tireless servant to the North Shore for more than the past decade and those close to him said they were happy to have him at the helm. “Andy speaks softly, acts quietly, and gets things done,” said David Woods, executive director for Three Village Chamber of Commerce. Polan has held many positions at the North Shore Jewish Center, including a trustee on the board for 12 years, building chair, treasurer and executive vice president. He has been a congregant there for 15 years. Projects he has worked on include a brick engraving fundraiser, where members of the congregation could buy a brick in memory of a loved one. Charlie Lefkowitz, chamber vice president, who, aside from working with Polan in the chamber also worked with him in the Jewish Center, helped with

a recent brick dedication ceremony. He said Polan did a really nice job creating a beautiful front entrance, and that Polan is “really a unique individual.” “This was meant to deepen community ties, and keep us all together,” Polan said of the project. Lefkowitz also spoke of the work Polan has done to improve the annual beach barbecue held at West Meadow Beach. Lefkowitz said it started with approximately 150 attendees and has grown into more than 600 guests. “People love to come and enjoy the camaraderie. It takes a great deal of planning; it’s really the chamber’s signature event,” said Lefkowitz. And Polan is really all about the camaraderie, he said. He considers himself a community-based individual, and believes in the importance of people stepping up to the plate to further the quality of the community. “I really just don’t know how to keep my hand down,” Polan said about why he volunteers for so many different organizations. One of Polan’s favorite chamber events, and the newest one, just started this year, is the Shop Local event. Polan believes this event helps enhance the local community.

“It truly ties the students and local businesses of Three Village together, and highlights the importance of keeping money in the community,” Polan said. Polan has been an optician for more than 30 years, and is part of a family of opticians. He was the vice president of the New York State Society for Opticians less than a decade ago. He has owned Stony Brook Vision World since it opened 17 years ago. Former board president Robert Brown worked with Polan for many years when Polan was just a trustee on the board. One project Brown thought Polan handled very successfully was the creation of a new welcome sign located on the northeast corner of Nicolls Road and Route 347. “It makes a pleasant intro to the community, blending both the town, the university, and the university hospital together. Polan has always proven to be a stable, thoughtful individual that knows how to get things done in a quiet way,” said Brown. Rabbi Aaron Benson, the rabbi of the North Shore Jewish Center, is optimistic about Polan’s future with the center. “I think he will be able to bring a great sense of community, he has a

good head on his shoulders. He will make a good president because he’s the type of businessman who is always looking to try and help people. He will open up new opportunities and help us grow together,” Benson said.

Emma S. Clark Library Head of Children’s Services Brian Debus presented Taylor Kinsley and several Minnesauke Elementary School students with the Emma Cup.

Minnesauke captures first ever ‘Emma Cup’

Minnesauke Elementary School captured the top prize during this year’s Emma S. Clark Library Summer Reading program. With 14 percent of the school’s student population participating in the initiative, Minnesauke earned the first ever “Emma Cup” in honor of the students’ reading achievements.

To be considered for the program, which was open to all elementaryaged children in the area, individuals were challenged to read at least seven books during the summer months. Minnesauke information specialist Taylor Kinsley and representatives from the library spoke with the school’s students about the program prior to the end of last school year.

Ward Melville High School student musicians have captured regional, state and national honors this fall and are bound to showcase their talents among their peers in renowned festivals in the coming months. As a result of their outstanding scores at the 2015 New York State School Music Association solo and ensemble festival, more than 40 juniors and seniors were selected for the AllCounty Music Festival, and 24 were chosen as participants or alternates at this year’s NYSSMA All-State Conference in Rochester. Additionally, seniors Matt Hoffman and Rajiv Moturu were chosen as members of the National Association for Music Education All-National Honor Ensembles program through a rigorous selection process. Hoffman will take part in the mixed choir for tenor 1 and Moturu will participate in the symphony orchestra for violin. The ensembles’ final performances will be at the historic Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee.

Nassakeag Elementary School students committed to accepting Rachel’s Challenge as part of the school’s character education program.

Committing to kindness and compassion As part of the school’s character education program, which is modeled after the national Rachel’s Challenge program, Nassakeag Elementary School students and staff have once again pledged to cause a chain reaction of kindness. Shortly after the start of the school year, individuals across the Three Village school documented their joint efforts toward creating an inclusive environment and promoting compassion for others by signing a large banner displayed in the main hallway of the school.

Awareness for the yearlong initiative kicked off during an interactive assembly with musical storyteller Lou Del Bianco called “Make a Good Choice.” During the event, the presenter took the audience on an exciting journey through his childhood, sharing the daily joys, dreams and missteps he encountered along the way. Students had the chance to share what type of choices they would make if they were in Del Bianco’s shoes and reflected on how those choices would affect their own lives.

tions. Romaine proposed bringing the highway department’s snow removal budget up to $5.2 million — a budget line the supervisor and the town board have been adding to since the massive February 2013 storm, frequently dubbed Nemo, that buried Long Island under three feet of dense snow. That removal budget has doubled in the last few years. “I hope that someday we will have a less snowy winter,” Romaine said. Town officials hope any leftover snow removal money will be deposited into a reserve account, to be used in an emergency winter weather situation. The supervisor’s proposal also increases spending on environmental protection and funding for public safety staff, code enforcement and internal auditors, among others. Romaine’s proposed capital budget totals $62.2 million, a reduction of about 2.4 percent from the current year. The capital funds will go toward local projects like long-awaited athletic fields in Selden and road and drainage improvements.

press last week. “I’m trying to do my best to limit that tax burden while providing needed services and that’s crucial, and our fiveyear plan reflects that.” According to the budget proposal, the town’s property tax levy will not see a net increase in 2016, holding taxes steady for many residents. Romaine was able to maintain the levy because of the amount of money the town will save from satisfying debts. Some of the money that would have gone toward those debt payments was used instead to fund increases in other budget lines. When money from the town’s debt reserve fund is excluded, the budget proposal actually reduces overall spending more than $800,000. “That’s come from careful management of capital projects and the elimination of pipeline debt,” Finance Commissioner Tamara Wright said during the meeting. Just as there were cuts in the budget, there were also addi-

Patriots invade Brentwood, blank opponent Girls’ soccer

Ward Melville . . . . . . . 6 Brentwood . . . . . . . . . 0 By Bill landon

After a slow start, and leading 2-0 at the end of 40 minutes, the Ward Melville girls’ soccer team leaned on its bench in the second half to overpower Brentwood and put the game away, 6-0. “I was happy with our play in the first five to 10 minutes when we scored quick, but we fell into a lull — thinking we were going to have an easy game,” Ward Melville head coach John Diehl said. “I didn’t like our performance for most of the first half, but we picked it up midway through the second.” Ward Melville sophomore forward Kerri Liucci opened the scoring four minutes in when she broke free of defenders and shot from the left side, beating the keeper to the right corner for the score. Junior midfielder and co-captain Megan

Raftery struck next off a corner kick, to help the Patriots edge ahead, 2-0. “We had good possession today — we really stepped it up even though we had a considerable lead,” Raftery said. “But it was a much better effort in that second half.” Diehl said he decided to start some players in the second half who don’t normally start and don’t receive as much playing time. “They came in and did a great job,” he said. “They did what we wanted, because we needed a change in the second half.” Raftery opened the second half with her second goal of the game, after leaping in the air and heading a corner kick past the keeper with authority, for a three-goal advantage. “I’m designated to go to the net for every corner [kick],” Raftery said. “It was a cross from Ciara Guglielmo and I was able to head it in. It’s a set play for us and we practice it all the time.” On a crossing pass three minutes later, sophomore midfielder Arianna Barbieri passed to junior midfielder Hannah Hobbes, who buried her shot. “I got a great cross and I just tapped it in,” Hobbes said. “We had a better second half with better possession and passing.” With just more than 20 minutes left to play, it was Guglielmo, a senior forward and co-captain’s turn, as she drove a teammate’s rebound off a save from the Brentwood goalkeeper back at the net, and this time, in,

for the 5-0 lead. “I thought we had great possession on a grass field, because we usually don’t play on grass,” Guglielmo said. “It’s bumpy and a different way of play, so in the second half we got used to the [field] and played to our feet.” Rounding out the scoring for Ward Mel-

ville was junior forward Erin O’Connor, who found the net at the 18:13 mark, to put the game away, 6-0. With the win, the Patriots improve to 7-12 in League I, and traveled to Sachem North Wednesday, but results were not available by press time.

OPINION

Suffolk’s septic philosophy needs shift: Murdocco

File photo

Some face washes contain microbeads, which can be dangerous to the environment.

EdiTOriAL

Elected officials watch the installation of a septic system in Nesconset late last month.

It’s the little things

Could the stuff you’re washing your face with end up in your sushi? it sounds crazy, but yes. We don’t often agree with legislators who want to add more restrictions to businesses, but a recently approved law, drafted by Suffolk County Legislator Kara hahn (d-Setauket), tries to take tiny pieces of plastic out of the equation. The culprit is known as microbeads, which are used as exfoliants and are becoming more and more common in personal care products like facial scrubs and toothpastes. The tiny particles are too small for our treatment plants to filter out of wastewater, so they pick up toxins and are discharged into our waterways. Small creatures confuse them with food and ingest them, and those small creatures are consumed by larger creatures — which then reach us at the top of the food chain. hahn’s law passing this week means products containing microbeads are going to start disappearing from Suffolk County shelves, with complete removal by 2018. While some of us may lose our exfoliant, we will all gain a healthier water supply and environment. it’s a sacrifice we’re willing to make, because without it, we may not have the clean water we need to exfoliate with in the first place.

TO ThE EdiTOr: Your editorial advocating for sewers in Suffolk County accurately notes that our cesspool systems are antiquated, and something must be done. however, it’s simply not that simple. The philosophy taken by the county must shift — sewers, while an integral component of attracting growth, serve a critical environmental function. Up until this point, the conversation regarding sewering always steers

Ticking time bomb TO ThE EdiTOr: in an amusing escapade that began in the great state of Texas a few weeks ago, a precocious boy named Ahmed Mohamed, who is 14 years old, brought something with him to school. The object was an old radio Shack digital clock, which the clever little shaver had disassembled and mounted in a metal box, with the circuit board and wires in a tangled array, leading his teacher to think that the contraption bore at least a passing resemblance to an iEd (improvised explosive device), sometimes also known as a “bomb.” The teacher not unreasonably escorted Ahmed and his device to the principal’s office. if the junior young Tom Edison was covering his mouth with his hand, trying to suppress an uncontrollable

to discussing in tandem increased developmental density, additional multifamily projects and ways to grow our stagnant economy. By themselves, sewers present a “hard” infrastructure solution. To increase their effectiveness, the county must pair the expansion of sewer infrastructure with “soft” solutions as well — increasing tidal wetlands, reducing runoff, as well as continuing public awareness campaigns. if our region is serious about

protecting the region’s solesource aquifer, we need to start thinking comprehensively about sewers, our land-use strategies and future development needs. The mere assumption that sewers equal growth will lead to problems down the road if our growth strategies aren’t data-backed and regional in scope.

chuckle, it was not recorded. Not surprisingly, police were summoned, an investigation ensued and the authorities were able to determine that the device was not actually a bomb, although it might conceivably be described as a “bomb hoax.” Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, soon appeared on the scene, and, to the surprise of no one, pronounced that his son was being treated unfairly because of his race. U.S. President Barack Obama, never one to miss an opportunity to profess his outrage over a possible case of alleged racism, or even to delay his pronouncement until the facts are in, immediately dispatched a note to Ahmed, saying, “Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White house? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. it’s what makes

America great.” And hillary Clinton, not to be outdone, although temporarily not empowered to invite people to visit her in the White house, issued the following tweet: “Assumptions and fear don’t keep us safe — they hold us back. Ahmed, stay curious and keep building.” Clearly, Ahmed did not invent or design a clock, or anything else, nor can his activity realistically be described as “science.” it was, as one wag described it, like pouring milk over a bowl of Cheerios and claiming that you invented cereal. But praising a highly questionable practice and calling it “science,” and using it to promote a political agenda, is nothing new to some people. Take global warming, for example.

Life’s wobbles cause us to rock back and forth

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

S

ome readers may remember those egg-shaped rolypoly toys from the 1970s called the Weebles. The slogan they used was: “Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down.” All these years later, I get it. Adding a few pounds here and there has turned me into something closer to a Weeble, but that’s not what I mean. I get the notion of wobbling.

That’s what we do. Challenges cause us to rock back and forth as we endure losses and defeats. But, then, much of the time, we don’t fall down. Using material that was more dense at the bottom of the egg-shaped creatures, these Weebles remained upright no matter how many times we flicked our fingers at them. With humans, however, the mechanism includes the people around us. I recently attended the bar mitzvah of the son of a great friend from middle school. My friend and I met when we were the same age as our sons. It’s one of the many pause-toreflect landmarks along the road of life. I remember thinking how incredibly old I’d be in the year 2000. I also remember passing my mother’s age when she gave birth to me even before I met my wife. Anyway, back at the bar mitzvah, my friend stood with

his wife, both beaming as their son sang a text in a language none of them can speak. These rites of passage aren’t easy. They’re not like getting up in the morning and deciding what clothing to wear at the last minute. They take months to plan, involve commitment and sometimes seem so far away that they are a distant dot on an unimaginable horizon. And then, all of a sudden, the future is now. There we are, moving into a new role, cheering on our children or, in my case, the son of my friend. Those years weren’t always easy. There isn’t a parenting playbook we can consult on Page 9 when a child can’t fall asleep or Page 15 when a child suddenly can’t keep any food down. Yes, of course, there are books on parenting that offer just that kind of advice, but there’s always an added curve. We also make our own playbook as we go, combining lessons each set of grandparents

taught us. One such curve hit us during the delivery of our daughter. We had taken several Lamaze classes. None of them, however, prepared us for the hours of attempting to deliver our daughter, followed by what now feels like the inevitable decision to perform a C-section. My friend gave an emotional speech about his son, sharing the moments of triumph along with some of the unexpected tribulations. As he told the stories about those early years, I remember talking with him over the phone, hearing his voice weakened by fatigue and worry, unsure of the next steps he’d need to take to help his son grow and develop into the young man he would become. My friend was wobbling. He, his wife and their son got through some of those early difficulties, thanks to the support of the people who were there celebrating this milestone.

And then, all of a sudden, the future is now. These big moments are a wonderful opportunity for us to recognize the life landmarks with the people who have kept us from falling down. They could include everyone from our parents to our neighbors and friends to the teacher who saw the best in our children, even when our children’s confidence was f lagging and they felt like anything but The Little Engine That Could. They are also a chance to take stock of the support networks that enable us Weebles to head to the next celebration of life.

Some of the best and worst in China

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

H

ow is the food in China?” That is one of the most often-asked questions when people learn that I have just returned from my trip accompanying my son (see also last week’s column). The answer is the same as it would be here: It depends where you eat. As my son was invited to speak at a half-dozen medical centers, his hosts graciously provided some meals that we enjoyed, although we didn’t always know

“

what we were eating. Yes, the food was somewhat different from that served in Chinese restaurants here. In China, vegetables can be eaten, especially greens, at every meal with abundant tofu. Some of the dishes I had not seen before, and also some of their delicious fruits were new to us. There were fewer heavy sauces, less fried foods, lots of fish and seafood and smaller portions of meat — pork, chicken and some beef — often in combination with vegetables. Depending on the region, there was varying emphasis on sweet or spice. Dumplings were a constant, and soup with noodles came at the end of the meal. Dishes were placed on a large Lazy Susan in the center of the table, and each person plucked morsels with chopsticks as the turntable rotated. There were almost never any dairy products; many Asians are lactose intolerant. A treat for the Chinese, and therefore for us, was “hot pot.” We sat in a restaurant at a round table, in the center of which was a heating element topped by a pot

divided into two compartments. One half was for herbs floating in a consommé, the other for “spicy” — and they mean it. The wait staff brought dishes ranging from fish to meat to vegetables and tofu, all cut into bite-sized pieces. We had prepared ourselves with small bowls of spices that we had chosen from perhaps two-dozen offerings on an adjoining side bar. As the liquid boiled, we dipped in our bits of fish or spinach, much as you would with fondue. But instead of coating the food, we were actually cooking it, for a few seconds or however long we wished, then dragging it through our bowl of spices on the way to our mouths. During our trip of more than some 3,000 miles, we visited six cities and a dramatic near-9,000-foot volcanic mountain with a crater lake in the center. The cities were Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Changchun and Beijing, while Changbai Mountain is right on the border with North Korea. All had their special sights, and all had their stories. Throughout, the people were friendly and open,

spontaneously answering a smile with one of their own, and interested in us. We knew they were curious because they stood in front of us and stared, something that is not frowned upon culturally. Some of those who spoke English came up to practice and to inquire where we were from and why we had come. The majority of tourists in China, especially this past year, are Chinese which speaks to the growing middle class; most of the rest are from other Asian countries. We moved from place to place but only rarely saw the sun and blue sky. Pollution sits atop the country like a bathing cap on a swimmer’s head. As we rode on their bullet train, a high-speed marvel traveling at some 300 kilometers per hour (about 190 mph) from Shanghai to Hangzhou, we could understand why. Through the window, we could see tall buildings with a school in their midst and children playing in the schoolyard. Adjacent to the residences were a couple of factories with thick black smoke rising from their chimneys. Beside the factories were a number of

farms, their produce neatly growing in rows carefully tended by the farmers. This pattern was repeated often. There appears to be no zoning; water has to be boiled or bottled for drinking; and agriculture is poisoned by the toxic air. The people and the government well realize the situation and they are trying to rectify matters. It is a price the population is paying for their incredible economic leap forward. An American woman, living in Beijing who grew up in Northport, told us that she and her husband were staying only one more year because they feared for their baby’s health. Why were they there at all? Both of them were making such high salaries teaching English in the schools, and household help was so cheap. China is a land of contrasts. Final installment next week
