Town highway superintendent announces traffic safety moves BY Phil Corso Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) and Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) announced the completion of a recent traffic safety project designed to enhance pedestrian safety and simplify traffic patterns on Horseblock Road and Horseblock Place between College Road and Nicolls Road in Selden. The project, which included the addition of new crosswalks and sidewalks with ADA-compliant ramps, a rebuilt traffic signal, extension of the turning lane on Horseblock Place, resurfacing and re-striping, was made possible, in part, from a $250,000 New York State Department of Transportation Multi-Modal grant. The Brookhaven Highway Department covered the remaining $150,000 in resurfacing and concrete costs. “The enhancements made at the intersection of College Road and Horseblock Place – from extending the turning lanes to allow for increased intersection capacity,

to installing a new traffic signal and crosswalks with pedestrian signals – will allow for better traffic flow and increased pedestrian safety in the area,” Losquadro said. One of the components of this project involved replacing the traffic signal at College Road and Horseblock Place that had been suspended from two wooden poles with a new signal that hangs from a steel mast arm, the current standard for traffic signals across Brookhaven Town. In addition, crosswalks with pedestrian signals were installed allowing for easier access across both College Road and Horseblock Place. A four-foot wide sidewalk was constructed along the north side of Horseblock Place, where the turning lane was also extended. “Pedestrian safety is paramount in the Town of Brookhaven and Council District 3,” LaValle said. “I applaud our Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro and the entire Highway Department for making constant traffic safety improvements for our constituents, especially at this intersection.”

Suffolk Republicans resist Bellone’s water quality fix BY Phil Corso Suffolk Republicans said the county executive’s water quality plan stinks. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) unrolled a proposal last week that would allow voters to decide whether or not they would pay an extra $1 per 1,000 gallons of water to address nitrogen pollution in drinking and surface water across the region. And while some environmentalists heralded the plan, Suffolk Republicans said it would be unfair to the taxpayer and cost more than what Bellone might lead residents to believe. Suffolk County Legislator Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) joined with other members of the Republican Caucus last Wednesday at the county headquarters in Hauppauge to speak against Bellone’s proposal. Standing with him was Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga), who accused Bellone of using the water rate increase as a source of revenue to help balance the county’s $1.2 billion debt. “This is yet another attempt by Steve Bellone to get into the pockets of taxpayers,” Trotta said. “It is a ploy to use water protection as a means of covering for his mismanagement of county finances.” His proposal would establish a water quality protection fee that would fund the conversion of homes from outdated septic systems to active treatment systems, the county executive said. He estimated the $1 surcharge would generate

roughly $75 million in revenue each year to be solely dedicated to reducing nitrogen pollution — and still keep Suffolk County’s water rates nearly 40 percent lower than the national average. The funds collected would be used in conjunction with other funding, such as from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) $383 million initiative to support clean water infrastructure. Residents living in countless communities like Kings Park, which Trotta represents, have been on the county’s radar as locations in desperate need of a septic makeover. And while the county Republicans said they agreed that clean water must remain an important talking point in Suffolk, they argued that charging more for water might burden those residents already paying more for sewer upgrades. “Residents in my district and districts around Suffolk County have been paying for a sewer district for over 30 years,” McCaffrey said. “The ‘Bellone Water Tax’ would make these residents pay for the same thing twice.” Suffolk Legislator Leslie Kennedy (RNesconset) said residents would not enjoy equal benefits from the proposal and, therefore, she was against it outright. “At this point I see this as nothing more than a tax increase on water usage for all,” Kennedy said. “Some may never see the benefit of sewers or nitrogen reduction cesspools in their lifetime.” The Republican Caucus is committed to fighting what they said was an unfair

But not everyone stood opposed to the water quality initiative. In an interview, George Hoffman of the Setauket Harbor Task Force said Bellone’s plan would benefit Suffolk County for decades to come. Working so closely with some of the coun-

ty’s most coveted bodies of water, Hoffman said the county needed to act, and fast. “It’s pretty clear that our harbors and bays are struggling. Until that’s addressed, there’s going to be nothing we can do as a harbor group to be better,” he said. “We can prevent runoffs, but we can’t prevent the seepage from the homes along the shore. What we like about the initiative is it puts water quality at the top of the agenda.”

YOUR COLLEGE FUTURE

A major will not decide the fate of your career Your turn

BY RYan DeVito You are not defined by your college major. High school students often struggle under the pressure of not only choosing a college but also pre-selecting a major that will lead to a certain career. Fortunately, there is no definite pathway to most jobs. A college major is simply a medium for greater exploration of something. With few exceptions, college curricula are designed to expose students to a wide variety of coursework. The major itself can constitute as little as one quarter of a student’s credits over the course of their college career. Those credit hours are focused on one particular field of interest that may or may not have any bearing on a student’s future career goals. I majored in political science in college. Instead of viewing my college experience as a means for securing a job after graduation, I approached college as an opportunity to learn widely. Political science was, and still is, interesting to me, so I chose to focus my studies in that field. However, I never had

any intention of pursuing any of the assumed paths of a political science major: law school, political campaigning or lobbying. Political science formed the foundation of my college education, but it in no way defines who I am or where I hope to take my career. My story isn’t uncommon, either. College graduates nationwide are increasingly departing from their college majors to pursue jobs that are sometimes completely unrelated. After all, the modern economy is constantly changing and the opportunity to discover new passions and interests is ever expanding. High school students may be surprised to learn how little bearing a college major has on a lifetime trajectory. Medical doctors are often examples of how your college major can be unrelated to your endgame. An increasing number of medical students have undergraduate degrees that are outside of the sciences, and many medical schools look for candidates with nonscience backgrounds. Why? Because medical schools want to produce well-rounded doctors who can better connect with their patients. This is an age when people need to be adaptable. Essentially gone are the days when you could graduate from college and assume that a lifetime job would be waiting for you. Instead, today’s college students need to be versatile and innovative. Not only is the job landscape constantly changing, but so are your personal interests. In a widely referenced statistic, the average young person today changes careers more than three times in their lifetime. That’s careers, not jobs. A college major should allow you to feed a passion. Selecting a major based on career prospects is a losing proposition.

new jobs in new industries are constantly coming up. there is no college major that fits to these yet-to-exist jobs, so students can take comfort that their success is not bound by their decision to study art history or physics. And what really matters is not your major but your drive. The research of economists Stacy Dale and Alan Krueger suggests that college major is much less important than the student’s inherent ability, motivation and ambition. Studying art history or horticulture are not death sentences for your future. Just the opposite is true if you are motivated to search out the opportunities you want. Also, every experience can be translated into a desirable job skill. From interpersonal communication to organization to management, any major can be effectively pitched to be a desirable package for potential employers.

High school and college students shouldn’t feel as though their future is at stake when they choose a major. Rather, they should think about how they can use their academic interests to reach their goals. There is no set path. With some inventiveness and innovation, today’s students can create opportunity regardless of what they study in college. Ryan DeVito is a Miller Place native and a graduate of SUNY Geneseo. DeVito is a counselor at High Point University and also started his own college advising company, ScholarScope, to help Long Island students and their families.

Police Blotter

Repeat rapist gets 24 years

Incidents and arrests through May 1 He can’t Champlain

A 27-year-old man from Port Jefferson Station was arrested on Champlain Street for having cocaine and heroin at about 6 p.m. on April 27, according to police. He was charged with two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

By Elana Glowatz A rapist was recently sentenced to 24 years in prison for an assault on a taxi driver this past winter. Francis Barrios, 34, already a registered sex offender, pleaded guilty in March to raping the female driver after she picked him up one evening at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson. During the Dec. 1 ride, authorities said, he beat and strangled her, causing the cab to crash into a fence on Mount Sinai-Coram Road in Mount Sinai. Then he sexually assaulted her, pulling her into the back seat and raping her. Officers responded to the scene after a passing motorist called 911. The Suffolk County Police Department has not identified the taxi company that the victim worked for, to protect her identity. Police first identified Barrios as homeless, but the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office has since said he is from Middle Island. He has also been identified by the names Francis Berrios and Francisco Barrios. The offender pleaded guilty to firstdegree rape in late March, and was then sentenced in late April to 24 years

incarceration, as well as 20 years of post-release supervision. Barrios was previously convicted as a violent offender in Suffolk County, for first-degree attempted rape. According to the New York State sex offender registry, where he is listed as a Level 3 sexually violent offender, Barrios was convicted in November 2004 for sexual contact with a 12-year-old girl, who was described as a “non-stranger” to him. He was sentenced to 42 months in state prison for that crime.

Bonnybill drug bust

PeoPle SCCC adjuncts win prestigious Chancellor’s Award Suffolk County Community College Adjunct Instructor of Business J. Andrew Monahan and Steven Kuehhas, adjunct instructor of criminal justice, were recently recognized by State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher as recipients of the 2015-2016 Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Adjunct Teaching. They are among only 46 recipients of the prestigious award statewide. Theses awards are conferred to acknowledge and provide systemwide recognition for consistently superior professional achievement and to encourage the ongoing pursuit of excellence. “I am very grateful to receive the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Ad-

junct Teaching. Having taught in the honors program for nearly my entire tenure at Suffolk, my remarks would be incomplete if I did not acknowledge the role honors students have played in my growth as a teacher. My students and I bring out the best in each other, and always retain it. In the end, the most rewarding part of my job is transforming young lives. There is no better profession than this, and it has been a great privilege,” said Monahan. “I am both honored and humbled by such a prestigious recognition. Throughout my twenty-four years of adjunct teaching, my goal has always been to capture my students’ imagination and attention as they begin their journey into my world as a career prosecutor. Real-life drama unfolds before their eyes as our classroom transforms into a grand jury room, courtroom or crime scene. And as the semester comes to close, my students know that they now have me for life, a responsibility that I fully accept,” said Kuehhas.

Suffolk County Community College President Shaun L. McKay and the college have been commended for promoting sustainability and energy savings across the college’s three campuses, which include fifty-one buildings and 1.6 million square feet of space. The League for Innovation in the Community College, an international nonprofit organization that cultivates innovation at community colleges, recognized McKay for “promoting a culture of sustainabil-

ity” at Suffolk. “I have made it a priority to foster environmental awareness and to examine all we do to be sure that Suffolk County Community College operates in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way,” McKay said. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, known as NYSERDA also recognized Suffolk County Community College as one of 46 colleges and universities across New York State for being a “First

Mover” in their Reforming Energy Vision Campus Challenge Program, part of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s (D) strategy to build a clean, resilient, and affordable energy system for all New Yorkers. “The recognition,” said Suffolk County Community College Executive Director of Sustainability Programs Nick Palumbo, “is based upon the totality of the college’s sustainability efforts to date and our commitment to build upon these efforts moving forward.”

March for farm workers’ rights runs from North Shore to Albany By alex petroski The road to fairness for farm workers starts on the North Shore. Supporters of the Farm Workers Fair Labor Practices Act, as it has been known for the majority of its existence, which has spanned years and decades, will begin a 200-mile march to Albany on May 15, starting from Sen. John Flanagan’s (R-East Northport) office in Smithtown. A group called the Rural Migrant Ministry organized the March for Farmworker’s Justice. The group has been lobbying for better working and living conditions and benefits like overtime pay and health insurance for farm workers, who Linda Obernauer, a volunteer with the ministry, said “live in fear” under “strongholds” from many farmers. “The owners of the farm are the landlords — the owners of the housing,” Boris Martinez, a farmworker from a nursery in Patchogue said through translator Katia Chapman in a phone interview Tuesday. Martinez is from El Salvador and has worked at the nursery for about two years, he said. “The owners only care that the housing is okay when inspection is going to come. They don’t care what state the housing is in, what condition the housing is in. It’s most likely that there will be at least ten people living there.” Nathan Berger is an organizer of the march, which is a yearly occurrence.Participants march between 10 and 15 miles per day, stopping overnight to sleep at churches or at homes provided by volunteer host families. Obernauer said anyone is welcome to march, and they can join during any leg and partici-

pate for as many or as few miles as desired. upward of 80 hours a week.

“These exemptions, like the one for overtime pay exist because of the production and marketing realities associated with farming. Farming does not take place in an enclosed building with a regulated environment. We have a limited time to plant and harvest. If overtime is enacted, farmers will have to cut hours during the growing season so as to afford the extra hours needed at planting and harvest times which can’t be avoided.” Flanagan was a sponsor of the bill during his time in the State Assembly in the early 2000s. Since being elected to the State Senate in 2002 he has publicly supported the bill. However, despite becoming the GOP majority leader in 2015, the bill remains before the Labor Committee and has yet to pass the Senate. Flanagan did not respond to multiple requests for comment through his public relations personnel. Jose Ventura, another farmworker from Guatemala who lives on Long Island, said his living and working conditions are not bad, but he also does not receive overtime or health benefits. He will be participating in the march. “I’m participating in the march because even though as I said I like my job, I also see my friends, my companions that they are not always treated well,” Ventura said in a phone interview Tuesday through Chapman as a translator. “On their farms they’re not always paid fairly. There’s a lot of Guatemalan farm workers and some of them are mistreated in the job and while I feel that this march is for the benefit of my people, therefore I feel motivated to be a part of the movement.”

Stacey Wohl, founder and co-owner of the café, has run the Our Coffee with a Cause coffee brand business with her two children, Brittney and Logan, since it was founded in 2012. Cause Café will sell its coffee, as well as breakfast foods, sandwiches and more. Brittney and Logan, who both have autism, were named co-owners of the business in November 2015, and will both be working at the coffee shop. The shop is a crucial resource for young adults with disabilities, the owner said. “I started talking to other parents and they had no job opportunities for their young adults with autism,” she said in an interview on Tuesday. Although programs are set up for internships to work with nearby businesses, Wohl said they don’t translate into actual jobs. “They fall off the cliff at about 22 years of age,” she said. Aside from the kitchen staff and the counter manager, Wohl said every other employee at Cause Café is working with some form of a disability. “I wanted a retail place where people saw the young adults with special needs

and they were visible in the community,” Wohl said. “There are some companies who hire the disabled, but they are behind the scenes. [Here] they are right alongside with typical individuals in the community, doing some of the same jobs. They are involved in every aspect from the beginning.” The founder said she is hoping to inspire other businesses to hire the disabled, and also expand this store into a chain, to create as many job opportunities as possible. “I could open up 10 stores right now with the amount of people that want a job,” Wohl said. “I have parents calling me every day all the time, emailing, Facebook, calling. There are no jobs for kids with special needs.” According to Disability Statistics, in 2014, 34.6 percent of Americans between the ages of 21-36 were employed. In New York, out of about 1.1 million residents with disabilities, only about 351,000 were employed. The United States Census Bureau said between 2008 and 2010, individuals with disabilities accounted for 9.4 million, or 6 percent, of the approximate 155.9 million employed citizens. In terms of what this coffee shop will offer to residents’ palettes, the choices are international and diverse. “I always wanted to go to France, so France came to me,” Wohl said of the theme of the shop and many of the items on the menu. She said the store is high-

staff members of cause café gather outside the front entrance. the cafe opens this saturday, May 7. lighting some products that “you can’t really find unless you go to Provence,” seeing as many items have been imported straight from that region in France. Andrew Popkin, sous-chef at Cause Café, said that the menu features all homemade items that are both healthy and delicious. Popkin said the menu will have weekly seasonal specials, and some of the highlights for him include the buttermilk pancakes with maple butter syr-

up and the quiches. “Our food is going to match up to [competitors] and, at the same time, you’re helping kids out who don’t usually have the opportunity to work,” Popkin said of why residents should stop in for a meal. Cause Café is located at 1014 Fort Salonga Road and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting this Saturday, May 7.

Stony Brook’s Victor Ochi signs with Baltimore Ravens Victor Ochi realized his dream on Saturday evening when the senior member of the 2015 Stony Brook University football team signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. If he makes the team, Ochi would join former Seawolves teammate Will Tye as an active player in the NFL. Tye, the first SBU graduate to play on the big field, earned NFL All-Rookie honors as a tight end on the New York Giants roster in 2015 after making the squad as an undrafted free agent. Ochi, a 2015 All-America selection and the Colonial Athletic Association Co-Defensive Player of the Year, led the nation with 13 sacks through the regular season and

was top in the CAA with 16.5 tackles for a loss. For the 2015 season, the Valley Stream native recorded 47 tackles in the Seawolves’ 10 games, including his 13 sacks — the second most in a single season in the program’s history. He also had four games with at least two sacks, including 3.5 against the University of New Hampshire. During the 2015 season, Ochi became Stony Brook’s career leader in both sacks and tackles for loss. He collected 32.5 sacks and 49 tackles for a loss in four seasons. In addition, he made a splash at the 2016 East-West Shrine game in January and turned some NFL scouts’ heads after being invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis in February.

Stony Brook police search for campus grope suspect By Phil Corso Stony Brook University Police are deploying additional officers around campus this week after a graduate student was forcibly touched over the weekend, authorities said Monday. The suspect, who police identified as 33-year-old Miguel Angel Condori, was accused of groping a graduate student on Saturday inside the third-floor bathroom of the social and behavioral sciences building on campus, university police said. Officers have been searching campus buildings for the suspect and continue to do so while increasing police presence at strategic locations. A surveillance image and mugshot of the suspect was posted to the Stony Brook University emergency alerts website, showing the location where the incident allegedly occurred around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. The image described the sus-

President of the Ward Melville heritage organization Gloria rocchio, third from left, presents a check for $50,000 to yusuf A. hannun, the director of stony Brook Cancer Center, on Thursday, April 14.

‘Walk for Beauty’ keeps on giving Stony Brook Cancer Center received a donation of $50,000 from the Ward Melville Heritage Organization in the latest installment of the Three Village event. The proceeds were raised from the group’s 21st annual Walk for Beauty held on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2015 in Stony Brook. The Walk for Beauty has raised more than $1.325 million for cancer research since

its inception in 1994. Proceeds from the event stay in the community and benefit cancer research at Stony Brook Medicine. Funds raised help to supply items like wigs and prostheses for cancer center patients. The event is an all-volunteer initiative with no administrative costs. — Phil Corso

Two all stars from New York will receive honorary degrees this month at Stony Brook University’s 56th annual commencement ceremony. Eric H. Holder Jr. and Soledad O’Brien were named this year’s honorary recipients for their contributions in their respective fields, the university said in a statement. Holder, the 82nd attorney general of the United States, will receive a doctor of law degree, while O’Brien, a Long Island native and award-winning journalist, will receive a doctor of letters. Both recipients will address the Seawolves class of 2016 and sport academic regalia right alongside the nearly 6,000 other graduates at LaValle Stadium on May 20. “This is a remarkable distinction for the class of 2016, to be joined by individuals who personify what Stony Brook embraces — the relentless pursuit of excellence and commitment to make a real difference,” said Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr. “Eric Holder embodies the progress and values of our country through his strong leadership and legacy of justice and fortitude. Soledad O’Brien exemplifies the vision of our University as she is actively engaged in the critical issues of our time — initiating and exploring important national conversations. I am looking forward to officially welcoming Eric Holder and Soledad O’Brien as fellow Seawolves.” Holder served as the attorney general of the United States under the leadership of U.S. President Barack Obama between 2009 and 2015. During his tenure, the president praised him for his “toughness and independence,” the university said in a statement. Originally from the Bronx, Holder is

the first African American to be the attorney general. While serving in that role, Holder announced and oversaw $1 billion in federal grants to law enforcement agencies in every state to support the hiring of police officers. He also actively aided the war against terrorism, providing the names of the conspirators for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Holder previously served as a United States attorney for the District of Columbia for U.S. President Bill Clinton, a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia appointed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and the deputy attorney general under Janet Reno. Holder earned a Bachelor of Arts in American history from Columbia University and a J.D. from Columbia Law School. O’Brien is an American broadcast journalist, executive producer and philanthropist who has become a fixture in global news on major platforms, the university said. A former co-anchor of CNN’s “American Morning,” O’Brien is now chairman of the Starfish Media Group, reporting and producing stories that have appeared on CNN, HBO and Al Jazeera America. Before joining CNN, O’Brien anchored NBC’s “Weekend Today” and contributed reports for weekend editions of the “NBC Nightly News.” O’Brien’s recent noteworthy documentaries include “Black in America: The New Promised Land-Silicon Valley.” O’Brien has been recognized for numerous awards and honors, including two Emmy Awards, George Foster Peabody awards, an Alfred I. DuPont Award, an NAACP President’s Award, the CINE Golden Eagle Award and “Journalist of the Year” from the National Association of Black Journalists. She is a Harvard University graduate and the daughter of Edward O’Brien, a founding professor at Stony Brook.

Farm workers’ advocates will be marching up to Albany later this month to lobby for better working conditions.

Sowing seeds of the farm workers’ labor rights debate Farm workers’ advocates are preparing to march 200 miles up to Albany in the name of better labor conditions, and we think lawmakers should listen. A group called the Rural Migrant Ministry organized the annual March for Farm Worker Justice, which sets off on May 15 this year, as part of its lobbying efforts for better working and living conditions, overtime pay and more for farm workers across the region. One member of that group described farm workers as “living in fear” of the “strongholds” farmers have on them, and the group has accused state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) of failing to address their concerns since becoming majority leader. But an anonymous website, nyfarmworkerprotectionbill.com provided the farmers’ perspective. “RMM and others have recruited various celebrities and foodies to support the bill, as well as downstate and New York City legislators, most of whom have never even been to a farm,” the site said. “We believe these individuals have been misled and have not done the proper research to find out the truth about farms, growers, farmworkers and the challenges we face to bring fresh food to as many tables as possible.” We understand there are different angles to this debate, but we also firmly believe workers of any type, whether they are legally employed or paid off-the-books, should be allotted some basic rights that lawmakers must find ways to put in placew. We are calling on our elected officials to engage stakeholders in this debate and hold a public hearing in which all parties can contribute to the dialogue. There can be no mutual understanding without communication, and there appears to be a disconnect between farmers and their workers, or even between legislators and the agricultural sector. If everyone sits down together and has a respectful discussion, they may find fertile ground for compromise.

Art by Alphonse Ripandelli Love your Suffolk County parks

Photo from Kara Hahn

As a lover of our parks and as vice chair of the county Legislature’s Parks & Recreation Committee, I have initiated the 2016 “A Park a Day in May” challenge on Facebook. Every day in the month of May, I will describe and post photos from a different local park. I challenge everyone to

visit each of the parks I list sometime this summer. Take a photo of yourself at the park, preferably in front of the park’s sign, but definitely in a location that makes it obvious where you are. I am continually surprised, sometimes even shocked by the number of residents who tell me they’ve never been to or

don’t know about Avalon Park in Stony Brook; or Frank Melville Memorial Park, or the Greenway Trail or even West Meadow Beach in Setauket. Kara Hahn Suffolk County Legislator Setauket

OPINION Reading between the sporting lines S ome conversations need a decoder. “I hate you,” in middle school often means, “Why don’t you pay more attention to me? I think you’re pretty awesome and I don’t know how to tell you that directly.” Or, how about: “What you did isn’t so great. I could have done that.” Translation: “Damn, I wish I had thought of that. Where’d you get that idea?” “Johnny is so much worse at this than I am.” Translation: “Johnny may or not be much By Daniel Dunaief may worse than I am, but I can’t possibly be the worst one at wrapping holiday presents. Please, tell me that I’m not at the bottom of the barrel in this activity.”

D. None of the above

Parents have their own way of communicating with each other and/or speaking about their children. Most of the things we say, either to our spouses, to their teachers or to other parents, are direct and straightforward. I’ve had some recent conversations in sporting matters where the subtext is so obvious that I thought I’d share my own decoder. Me: “So, how do you think the team looks this year?” Superdad: “Well, my son has spent much of the offseason preparing for this.” Translation: “I poured thousands of dollars into training. He better do well and you all better notice it quickly, if you want to protect my son and the trainers from my wrath.” Then there was a recent discussion about various volleyball skill sets among our daughters. I was speaking with the mother of a girl who is so much taller than my daughter that she’d have to bend down to eat peanuts off the top of my daughter’s head. This other girl plays the frontline almost exclusively.

Me: “So your daughter Clara looked great in the front today.” Superdad: “Yeah, but she’s the best one on the team in the back line. She just never gets there, but she’s scary good back there, too.” Translation: “I probably wasn’t that good at sports when I was younger and I want my daughter to define awesome on this team. In fact, this team would probably be better if we either cloned my daughter and had her play every position or if we took a few of your daughters off the floor for some of the game, until my daughter was able to give us a big enough lead.” Bragging about our kids is inevitable, and probably helpful as a way to assure ourselves that there is a payoff for all the work of getting them to and from practices, rehearsals and other activities. There are those parents who feign disappointment in their children. Faker: “Oh, man, did you see that she only got two outs when she could have had a triple play? Now, that would have been something special.”

Translation: “She made the most incredible catch anyone has made this year and she would have had a triple play if your daughter hadn’t been studying the butterfly over in the bushes. Next time, maybe the team will be ready for that kind of play and your child can play a supporting role in my child’s greatness.” And then there are the parents who work to limit any praise for their children, warding off the evil eye. Me: “Wow, your son made a sensational running catch in the end zone. Congratulations.” Superstitious parent: “Yeah, I guess it was OK, but the throw from the quarterback and the blocking by the other boys was even more impressive.” Translation: “He’s OK, but don’t call too much attention to him.” And then there are the put-it-in-perspective parents: Me: “That was a tough game, no?” PP: “I suppose, but they get to go home to a comfortable house with supportive parents.” Translation: “Win or lose, life is good.”

Invitation to a special Celebration Party And to properly celebrate our A anniversary, we are giving a ‘Thank midst all the frenetic news on the political scene, there is one constant and enduring spot in our world. It is the hometown newspaper, and I am enormously proud to be its publisher and, 40 years ago, the one with the idea to start the venture “with the highest ideals of a free press.” Along with nine other stockholders and a tiny, dedicated staff, we came out with the first edition on April 8, 1976, and as one longtime reader commented recently, “When we saw the paper, we knew it was Thursday.” Now, we may have missed our Thursday publication day a couple of times in the last four decades, but those instances were only due to Nature’s fury or a holiday scheduling change, and we have never missed a week. This rock-solid local instituBy Leah S. Dunaief tion owes its strength to a couple of factors. One is the unfailing commitment of our staff, some of whose names may have changed over the years but whose legendary loyalty continues. We get the news out to the public, with accuracy and fairness, to our utmost professional abilities. Included in that news, of course, are the ads that local businesses depend on for their customers’ response. Second is the willingness of our community to support our paper. When we first started, we were told more than once, “You don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell” of succeeding. Sometimes, to soften the blow, they added for the benefit of our largely
