Residents can turn in any protected, endangered or threatened animals that require special New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permits without fear of penalties or questioning on Saturday, Oct. 10. Brookhaven Town’s second Amnesty Day at the Holtsville Ecology Center will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and people owning dangerous or illegals animals will be able to hand them over to trained professionals from the town, the DEC, the wildlife service and the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The agencies will relocate animals turned in that cannot be kept at the ecology center. “All too often people will harbor unlicensed or illegal pets without realizing the dangers they pose or the amount of care they require,” Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro said in a press release. “This often leads to these animals being dumped by someone who once had it as a pet.

example of this is the 25-pound alligator snapping turtle that was recently found in the Nissequogue River in Smithtown.” That turtle, a freshwater reptile that officials said had enough power to bite off a human finger or toe, was discovered in the stream opposite the Smithtown Bull on Route 25 in Smithtown in late August. It is not indigenous to Long Island — it is usually found in the region from eastern Texas to the Florida panhandle. At the Amnesty Day on Oct. 10, residents can “do the right thing for the safety of their neighbors and for the well-being of these animals,” Losquadro said. Last year’s town event saw 25 animals turned in at the ecology center, including a western diamondback rattlesnake, a green anaconda, four boa constrictors, an American alligator and two marmosets. It was the most successful amnesty event the SPCA has ever had. “The purpose of this effort is to get these illegally possessed animals into a controlled environment where they can be cared for properly,” SPCA Chief Roy Gross said. “People who are in possession of these animals unlawfully can turn them in to us without fear of prosecution. No one will be asked to give their name.” The ecology center is located at 249 Buckley Road in Holtsville. For more information, call the Suffolk County SPCA at 631-382-7722, NYSDEC at 631-444-0250 or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at 516-825-3950. — Elana Glowatz

Centereach policeman North Shore native crashes into motorcyclist ready to ‘ruin’ truTV By Phil Corso
A Suffolk County cop turned himself in this week after allegedly injuring a Nesconset motorcyclist in a hit-and-run crash in Ronkonkoma, authorities said. Detectives were investigating the Sunday night crash on Portion Road just east of Avenue B, where cops said 40-year-old Charles Giardinello’s motorcycle was struck by a westbound pickup truck trying to make a left turn into a parking lot around 7:23 p.m., before it fled the scene northbound on Avenue B. By Tuesday morning, Centereach native Thomas O’Neill, 44, submitted to the Suffolk County Police Department and was charged with leaving the scene of an incident resulting in serious physical injury — a class E felony. Giardinello, a Nesconset resident, was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital after the crash and was listed in critical condition. O’Neill works as a Suffolk County Police Officer with the Community
Response Bureau and has been with the department since 2003, earning $144,399 last year in salary and overtime, SCPD said in a statement. He was off duty at the time of the crash and was suspended without pay. He could not be reached for comment. He was arraigned Monday in First District Court in Central Islip and was released later in the afternoon on his own recognizance with no bail set, a spokeswoman for the county jail said. The cop’s next court appearance is set for Oct. 13 in Central Islip. Upon turning himself in to police, O’Neill voluntarily submitted to a blood test, and a physician assistant from the county medical examiner’s office will be analyzing the sample for alcohol and drugs, cops said. The county cop also provided the gray, full-size 4-door truck he was driving at the time of the crash and consented to a search as well as a forensic analysis of the vehicle, police said. Calls to the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association were not immediately returned.

Adam Conover never used to ruin anything. More than one year later, that is exactly what Conover will do every Tuesday during “Adam Ruins Everything,” a new show on truTV. Conover, a Smithtown native who grew up on the North Shore, hosts the comedy show, which blends comedy, history and science to entertain and en-
lighten viewers about common misconceptions in society. The show touches upon various topics including giving, security, crime scene investigations, childhood, sex and more. His first episode covers giving and touches upon the history of engagement rings, why shoe companies that give away free shoes are harmful and the reality of food pantries. Continued on page A5

But for Conover, creating a show wasn’t something he just set out to do. Everything simply fell into place. Once Conover reached middle school and high school, he became more interested in drama and theater. His mother, Stony Brook native Margaret Conover, said she remembers her son being a handful as a child, saying that it was hard to keep him focused on a task. But his Shoreham-Wading River High School’s theater program was one of the few things that grabbed and maintained his attention. Conover got his first acting break after a teacher selected him for one of the star roles in the school’s production of “The Clumsy Custard Horror Show.” Conover said his overall experience in his high school’s theater program made an impression on him as it gave him a glimpse into working in a performing arts career. “I think the biggest thing I took out of it was that ... it was like a real theater program. We’re not just kids putting on a show,” Conover said in a phone interview. “We are putting on a real show with a real audience that has expectations and the show has to be good.” Adam Conover’s father, David Conover of Stony Brook, said he remembers his son being in nearly all school plays when he attended Shoreham-Wading River’s Prodell Middle School and the Shoreham-Wading
TBR
River High School. “He became very passionate about certain things. Teachers that he loved in high school, he would do all the work for,” David Conover said in a phone interview. “Drama was one of those things he was focused on doing really, really well.” Margaret Conover also added that the high school’s program helped her son as “the creativity that was fostered and allowed in [high school] really gave him a wake up.” Comedy was also pushed to the forefront after Adam Conover begged his parents to upgrade their television subscription to include Comedy Central when he was in middle school. Until then, his mother said she wasn’t aware of his interest in comedy. As a child, Adam Conover always loved learning. He remembered watching science programs like “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” among other programs that fostered his love for acquiring information. Science played a big role in his childhood as his mother and father work in science-based fields and have their Ph.D.s in botany and marine biology, respectively. His younger sister Emily also has her Ph.D. in nuclear physics. A career in comedy was never the first thing that came to mind for his family. Regardless, his parents were supportive of his dreams even after he quit a web development job to pursue a full-time career in comedy in 2006. Conover left his job and rejoined friends from his Bard College days — the same
group he was with in the early 2000s when Olde English, their sketch comedy, was established. The change left Conover’s parents concerned for their son’s well-being but supportive nonetheless. “We were concerned about whether or not that was a good way of making a living, but we didn’t attempt to dissuade him from doing so,” his father said. “We always believed that people should follow their passion and if you do oftentimes the rest of everything else works out.” According to the father, Adam Conover’s work with his sketch comedy group helped him land a job as a staff writer and cast member of CollegeHumor Originals in 2012. And Jon Cohen, one of the “Adam Ruins Everything” producers, said the show was initially released as a web series and received positive feedback from viewers, which encouraged Cohen, Conover and Sam Reich, another executive producer, to produce and pitch the show to television networks. TruTV picked up the 12 half-hour episodes of the show last October. Cohen said he realized they would work to produce the show after Conover informed him that the coconut water Cohen was drinking was not very healthy. “He’s obviously playing a heightened version of himself,” Cohen said in a phone interview about Conover. “He truly believes and is passionate about all of the information he has and he just wants to share it with people, not because he wants to be a know-it-all but just because he wants
media
people to know the truth and that’s what’s going to be great about this show.” “Adam Ruins Everything” will debut on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 10 p.m. on truTV. While his family never thought Conover would work in the entertainment industry, Margaret, David and Emily Conover agreed that they are proud of Adam and are certainly “not surprised” by his career choice. “Making this show [was] my life goal, and true mission for me,” Adam Conover said. “This is exactly the kind of comedy I want to do, and is saying things I want to say. I suppose that if I had to think ahead, my goal would be to say those things even more effectively in season two, if we’re lucky enough to get one.”

Rep. Zeldin visits Three Village to talk numbers Rep. Zeldin speaks to business owners and residents about his first few months as a congressman and his future goals By Giselle Barkley
He’s new to D.C. but not to some of the North Shore’s most pressing issues. Representative Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) addressed people from Three Village businesses and organizations early Wednesday morning, Sept. 16, in his Meet Congressman Zeldin breakfast in the Gillespie meeting room in The Long Island Museum of American Art, History, and Carriages. The meeting gave Zeldin the opportunity to discuss his past several months in office after he was sworn in back in January and to address issues he said he wants to tackle during his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Some of the more pressing issues, he said, included affordability, supporting local business owners and enhancing the quality of life for Long Islanders of the First Congressional District. “We’re losing a lot of our friends and our family as our families get split apart moving down to North Carolina and South Carolina and Florida because they can’t afford to get by here,” Zeldin said while discussing Long Island’s cost of living and its impact on community members. He added that some small business owners have experienced or are going through tough times as they struggle between paying their employees and paying their sales tax or other bills associated with their businesses. “There needs to be a fundamental recalibration and better understanding from different levels of government, as to how a small business is able to grow and create new jobs,” Zeldin said as a suggestion to help businesses stay afloat and create more jobs in the community. He admitted that one piece of legislation would not be enough to address every business owner’s concerns
or needs. As he continued discussing businesses and Long Island’s economy, Zeldin also voiced his opinion on President Barack Obama’s (D) $15 minimum wage proposal, saying that the increase is not nearly sufficient for Long Island residents — especially those who own homes and raise their families. Long Island’s veteran population and education issues were also a topic of debate as Zeldin discussed his past eight months in Congress. One of Zeldin’s first pieces of legislation to pass kept the government from financially penalizing states if schools wanted to withdraw from the controversial Common Core Learning Standards. Throughout the breakfast, Zeldin emphasized that he is not the type of politician who will turn away from a difficult issue or decision. He acknowledged that making tough decisions may cost him votes, but he will support what he believes to be right for his community. The statement left those in attendance very pleased. “I really feel like he listens to the issues that are going on at hand,” said Elizabeth Folk, owner and licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist at Hand on Health and Wellness in Stony Brook. “He seems very genuine with his speaking. I like the fact that he doesn’t care about the cost of losing his votes if it’s an issue that’s very important to him if [his opinion] is unpopular.” Members of the museum said they agreed with Folk. Deirdre Doherty, director of development for the museum, said that Zeldin’s desire to improve the Long Island economy is not only genuine but will also assist businesses like the museum. “Museums go beyond just offering a cultural experience,” Doherty said. “They really have socially impactful programs. We educate over 12,000 stu-

dents a year. So if the local businesses are healthy, then we can be healthy.” Regina Miano, special events manager of the museum, said she thought Zeldin’s event was also a good way for Three Villagers to interact with Zeldin saying, “it was great to have him as a new congressman … to be here and speak at the museum … to introduce himself to people that have probably never spoken to him, [it was great].” Zeldin also highlighted the importance of meet-and-greets with the voters

PEOPLE
Students from the Hawkins Path Elementary School were joined by their parents and greeted by a robot on the first day of the 2015-2016 school year.
Full STEAM ahead
The Middle Country Central School District’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten students recently received a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics powered welcome to the 2015-2016 school year. A robot greeted the Class of 2029, joined by their parents, on the first day of school to meet with teachers and learn what their children will learn this year. The robot waved and communicated welcoming messages as families entered the building to meet the teachers. Students were introduced to the NAO robot last year and spent class time learning to program it as part of their STEAM lessons. “We are thrilled to begin the new academic year with the rollout of our STEAM program across the district, beginning with our Pre-K students,” Roberta Gerold, superintendent of Middle Country Central School District, said. “The program aims to encourage interest in science, engineering, art and mathematics among our youngest students and train them to become critical thinkers.” Pre-K students will participate in
multiple STEAM themed lessons including Lego building, life cycle studies with chicks and ducks, stick bug and butterfly studies and “outdoor classroom” activities. The program is available at Unity Drive Pre-K/Kindergarten Center, Bicycle Path Pre-K/ Kindergarten Center, North Coleman Elementary School and Hawkins Path Elementary School this year. The MCCSD was one of the first districts on Long Island to introduce the universal pre-k program, which has grown to a total of 23 full and part-time class sessions. With newly added sections in two elementary schools, pre-k students will have the opportunity to interact and learn from older students in the first through fifth grades. Both schools have created a “Buddy” program where fifth-grade students will become mentors for the pre-k students. “Buddies” will meet once per month to read with each other and work cooperatively. For more information regarding the Middle Country Central School District, please visit the district’s website at www.mccsd.net.

Local manager keeps customers coming back By Giselle Barkley
Smile. That’s what Gary Shek tells his employees at Wasabi Steakhouse in Miller Place. As the manager of the hibachi restaurant, Shek’s main concern is providing good service by tending to the customers and ensuring high-quality food — two reasons that encourage new and repeat customers to return to the restaurant. The four-star establishment opened March 23, 2014. Since then, Shek is usually the main employee greeting guests when they arrive, and sends them off when they leave. While it may take him a couple tries, it doesn’t take long before Shek remembers the names and faces of his customers, which adds to the guest’s experience. “Let’s say I see your face [one time], a year later, I will still say hi,” Shek said. “You make [the customer] feel like [they are really important]. Of course, business is very important, but the customer, you have to make them feel like family.” According to Shek, some hibachi restaurants focus on having a classy or elegant style, while he wanted his restaurant to be more family oriented, since many of the residents he serves are families who may remain in the area until their kids graduate high school. Kenny Ching, one of the owners of the restaurant, has known and worked with Shek since the mid-1990s. They met while working at the Secret Garden Tea Room in Port Jefferson. Ching said working with Shek is easy.
“I don’t have any pressure,” Ching said. “He can handle [work] pretty much himself. I don’t have to follow him. Training managers isn’t always easy.” Shek credits his management skills to working in the hotel business in Hong Kong before he moved to Long Island in 1990. It was at the hotel where Shek tried to remember the names of hotel guests. It wasn’t until he transitioned to the restaurant business that Shek saw the difference between the hotel and restaurant business. “From the hotels I [saw] the international [people from] different countries,” Shek said. “But here, [there are] local residents so I have to keep smiling every day [even if] I have a bad day.” From 1995 to 1998 Shek also managed a Chinese restaurant for one of the
individuals who owns Wasabi Steakhouse alongside Ching. Although Shek and Ching have to remember more types of dishes now than they did working at Chinese restaurants, they do their best to serve their customers and answer questions about the menu. The service, as well as the food, is what keeps customers like Diana McGeoch and her family and friends coming back to Wasabi Steakhouse. “We come here all the time,” McGeoch said. “Too many [times] to count. Fifteen-plus maybe.” “And he remembers us every time,” Brain Murray, a friend, said after McGeoch. “[The atmosphere is] very warm and welcoming. [Shek remembering our names] makes you feel special when you
come here.” Jean Casola of Rocky Point is another customer who dines at the restaurant for its service and high-quality food. Casola discovered the restaurant last year when she was celebrating her wedding anniversary. “First of all, the service is amazing and polite beyond belief. Then the food comes out just the way you want it,” Casola said as she ate her dinner. Shek said the restaurant goes out and picks up fresh cuts of fish and meats nearly twice a week, but also has fresh food delivered nearly five times a week. Leftover food is discarded after a day or more passes. According to Shek, some restaurants turn this food into an allyou-can-eat buffet. While Shek acknowledges that people come back for the food and for hibachi, he doesn’t believe people come back to the restaurant because of him. “I just want to be a successful manager,” Shek said. But customers like Casola think differently. Recently, Casola helped her daughter Faith pack for Pfeiffer University in North Carolina. She said her daughter misses eating at the restaurant, and in 30 days, so will Casola. She and her husband are moving to North Carolina to be closer to their daughter, but packing up means leaving Shek’s service and food at Wasabi Steakhouse. “I don’t think they’re going to have anything like this there,” Casola said. “And they’re just not going to have another Gary, that’s for sure.”

Locals shoot down Head of Harbor deer hunting plan
File photo
issues around deer on Long island are becoming an ongoing issue in different townships and villages across the north shore. By Victoria Espinoza
Residents living in the Village of the Head of the Harbor are up in arms due to a public hearing on Wednesday, Sept. 16, that considered allowing deer hunting in the area. Citizens in the community said they not only disagree with the proposal but they also have a problem with the way village hall handled alerting them on the issue. “This is a huge concern to the residents,” Julie Kornessel, a Head of the Harbor resident, said in a phone interview. “This goes against the town, which should preserve the natural aspects of the woods.” Kornessel said that the code written “seemed purposely vague,” and she was unhappy with how little notice she was given about this issue before it came to vil-
lage hall. “There is a big concern for transparency now,” Kornessel said. “When paving is going on or a bike marathon is going to be held, we receive an email notice. But for this extremely important issue there was no email notice.” Mayor Douglas Dahlgard said he thinks village hall did all it could to let residents know what is happening. “We followed the rules,” Dahlgard said in a phone interview. “We put notices in the paper and on our village website. We do not have the budget to send out info every week.” Dahlgard put a letter on the village website after the public hearing, informing residents of the status of the issue and how the public hearing went. According to Dahlgard, the letter should be mailed to all residents by the end of this week. The public hearing was meant to discuss amending the town code to allow for limited bow hunting on certain properties. Currently, Head of the Harbor village code doesn’t allow hunting unless you have the consent of the owner of the property you want to hunt on and have a hunting license from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Hunting then can only happen during hunting season, and you cannot discharge a weapon within 500 feet of any house or farm structure.
Dahlgard said the village board is looking to involve the Head of the Harbor police to help monitor where and when hunting would take place. If this happens, aside from the DEC and the property owner’s approval, a hunter would also need approval from the police. The board of trustees is also looking into the minimal size a property would have to be in order to hunt there. Dahlgard said he recognizes the concerns for safety people have due to the deer population. “I am for protecting village residents from the overpopulation of deer,” Dahlgard said. “We know there are deer causing traffic accidents and devastating crops, as well as the issue of Lyme disease. We are looking into alternative options; we want to bring in all the info we possibly can on this issue.” In his letter to the public, Dahlgard said he has asked the DEC to make a presentation on the deer situation on Long Island at the next public hearing, on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. Deer fencing, birth control, culling and other methods will also be discussed, and the board will appoint a deer commission, consisting of volunteer residents, to address this problem and advise the board. It was also recognized in the letter that some residents felt code changes needed to be more specific. But residents said they are still unhappy with how the issue has been handled.
John Lendino, a Head of the Harbor resident and deputy highway commissioner for Head of the Harbor, distributed letters to residents to let them know of the public hearing last week and urged them to go. In the letter he said that at the Aug. 19 meeting the board of trustees made an announcement to have this code change drawn up by the village attorney and put to the hearing on Sept. 16. According to Lendino, when one of the two town residents who were in attendance opposed, saying residents weren’t warned and that there should be a larger input before this decision is put to hearing, the resident was dismissed and the vote went forward. “It seems that this is being done to rush this law into passage in order to kill deer in the village immediately,” Lendino said. “I don’t see any benefits to this, it’s just going to endanger people’s lives. It’s dangerous, and it’s even more dangerous when you have a board like we have.” Lee Stein, a Head of the Harbor resident, said the only reason she knew of the meeting was because of Lendino. Kornessel said the same. “I don’t want anyone hunting on my property with any weapon,” Stein said. “They should be representing us as our board. I have grandchildren that play in the woods. There have to be safer ways to remedy the problem.”

OPINION EDITORIAL
Marr: Time to register for November is now
Photo by Wendy Mercier
Communities across the North Shore are mulling over different ways to address an influx of deer.
My deerest neighbors
At what point does a neighborhood nuisance become a problem that warrants lethal action? A few North Shore communities have been debating whether to legalize hunting deer in their residential areas, after complaints relating to an increase in their region’s deer population. Hunting advocates say the ticks deer carry have been transmitting Lyme disease to humans; the animals are eating their garden plants; and the deer are moving traffic hazards. As a result of the complaints, Huntington Town officials have given residents of Eaton’s Neck the green light — under certain restrictions — to hunt deer with longbows on their own properties. Officials in Belle Terre Village, after receiving emotional pushback from many community members, did not take action on a similar proposed hunting law. The issue is still up in the air in Head of the Harbor, where officials recently floated a proposal to allow hunting there as well. There are many problems with allowing people to hunt deer in a residential location: It will not have the desired effect; it is an unreasonable and disproportionate response to nature; and there is great potential for negative consequences. It’s not a problem for nature to occur around Long Island, it’s merely a fact of life. We hear residents bemoan the loss of open space and cry out against development. Well, this isn’t “The Sims” life simulation video game — we can’t cherry pick the greenery and sprawling beaches, and kick out the deer. Or rather, we shouldn’t. There are nonlethal ways to patiently deal with the deer issue: Spray deer and tick repellant in your area; use tick repellant on yourself when you go outside; check your body and clothes for ticks when you hang out in tall grass or woods; use plants that deer do not eat; and drive slowly on small back roads that are surrounded by woods. Let’s not forget that hunting is dangerous in a residential area because accidents can — and do — happen.

National Voter Registration Day is a reminder to make sure the electorate participates in the democratic process.
TO THE EDITOR: Tuesday, Sept. 22, was National Voter Registration Day, reminding those who are not registered to vote that they will need to have their registration form postmarked by Oct. 9 in order to be eligible to vote in the Nov. 3 elections. Absentee ballot applications must be postmarked by Oct. 27 and mailed to the Suffolk County
Egg pledge a small step TO THE EDITOR: McDonald’s pledge last week to start using cage-free eggs is only a small step in preventing staggering suffering endured by millions of birds. Hatcheries that annually supply 200 million female hens for U.S. egg production, including cage-free birds, also kill the same number of male chicks at birth by grinding them up alive in industrial macerators or suffocating them slowly in plastic garbage bags. The female laying hens endure a lifetime of misery,

Does it make a difference if we don’t vote? The state of New York was 49th — out of 51 — in voter turnout in last year’s midterms. And yet we all know of elections where one or two votes decided
the winner. So your vote does count. Even if the count is not close, voting is one way of letting your public officials know your opinion. Sometimes it is the only way that makes a difference.
crammed with five or six others, in small wire-mesh cages that cut into their feet and tear out their feathers. Eggs are common carriers of food-borne bacteria, including salmonella, campylobacter, listeria and staphylococcus. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that salmonella alone accounts for 1.3 million U.S. illnesses and 500 deaths annually. Eggs contain saturated fat and cholesterol; key factors in incidence of heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes. They are a common cause of allergies in children.

Nancy Marr President League of Women Voters Brookhaven
Waste from millions of egglaying hens ends up in waterways, rendering vast areas unsuited for recreation or water supply. The good news for compassionate, health-conscious, ecofriendly consumers is that our local stores offer a number of delicious egg substitutes and eggfree food products. Entering “egg free” in a search engine returns tons of recipes. Sergio Tapis Setauket

Think twice before hitting the reply-all button
D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
T
o reply all, or not to reply all, that is the question. But, seriously, when is replying to everyone by email necessary? I know we live in a world where we share every thought that occurs to us because we can. Distributing our thoughts electronically to as many people as possible gives new meaning to the words “publish or perish.”
Still, something about replying all is the equivalent of spraying graffiti, with your initials on it, in my email box. I already get more than enough emails from all the stores that send me hundreds of discounts a day. With all these discounts, I feel like an idiot for paying the listed price for anything. But I digress. I know there are times when replying all is helpful. You see that the conference room is unavailable. Sharing the news will allow everyone to be more productive through the day. There might be a time when you need everyone on a list to know something, like not to park on a side street where the permitparking-only signs might be hard to see. But do all 100 of us on a long email distribution list really need to know that you, specifically, received the email? Not only do people tell us they got the message we all received, but some of them feel the need to embarrass themselves
in the process. A teacher asks all the parents in her six classes to confirm that they received her message. A reply-all message that says: “The Smiths received the email and couldn’t be more excited about the start of a new school year. Every morning, Johnny can’t wait to sit in your class,” is a surefire way to sabotage Johnny as he navigates through the middle school minefield. Then there are the simple emails that don’t require any reply, such as an email with the address of a field or a meeting. “Got it, Dan. We’ve been there so many times before.” Of course you know where it is — everyone knows where it is. The directions and the address for the GPS make it possible for everyone to get there. Seasonal greetings are not, repeat not, an opportunity to hit reply all, especially when the group includes people you’ve never met. An email that “wishes everyone a healthy and a happy start
to the new school year” is not an opportunity to echo the same, exact thoughts to strangers. “So do we” is not an appropriate reply-all response, nor is “Ditto for us” or “Same to everyone else” or “The Dunaiefs feel the same way.” Adding emojis doesn’t make the email message more personal. It’s like doodling next to your graffiti. Cut it out, people — we’re not all 12. I’m tempted, when these replyall messages come through, to write something snarky, but in a distribution list that includes people I don’t know, someone will undoubtedly take it the wrong way because, let’s face it, there’s always someone ready to take offense. Then there are the reply-all messages that seem to highlight a specialized talent or experience. Someone might, for example, be asking people to bring baked goods to a party, a meeting or a fundraiser. By indicating that you’ll bake miniature tarte tatin, crème brûlée or flourless chocolate soufflé, you seem to be brag-
Adding emojis doesn’t make the email message more personal. ging first and contributing to something a distant second. It reminds me of that old joke about an 80-year-old man who goes to a priest to confess that he spent a magical evening with two 25-year-old women. The priest, in shock, asks the gentleman how long it’s been since last confession. The man said, “Confession? I’ve never gone to confession. I’m not religious.” The skeptical priest replied, “So why are you telling me this?” “Are you kidding?” the man answered. “I’m telling everyone I know.” Daniel Dunaief’s recent book, “The Other Parent,” may be purchased online from www.tbrnewsmedia.com/ebooks.
