Town Three running for three seats on Middle Country board By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com

Budget breakdown

Three — one an incumbent — are vying for three seats on Middle Country’s board of education. Current trustees Debbie Parker and Daniel Hill are not seeking re-election.

Doreen Feldmann

Doreen P. Feldmann, a 46-year resident, said she strongly believes in the value of community service. An active member of the PTA, the nine-year board member is also the chairperson of the Selden Centereach Youth Association; serves on the Middle Country Education Foundation; and has served or is continuing to serve on district committees such as the audit, anti-drug coalition, policy, legislative, PPS advisory council, safe schools and school business advisory boards. She particularly enjoys her work on the business advisory board. “It allows me to advocate for a clean and safe environment,” she said, through the Green Career Job Fair and e-waste collections. She and her husband, Bill, who are both graduates of Newfield High School, do work via their solar equipment distribution company. They supply no-cost solar energy

A mother of two, she received formal recognition for her child advocacy work and community service, such as the NYS PTA Jenkins Award and the Distinguished Service Award, but said the best recognition comes when she is allowed to serve on the board of education. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve Middle Country,” she said. “I want to continue my work supporting children and the school board.”

Dina Phillips

Dina Phillips, a 17-year resident and stay-at-home mother of two, was in the accounting field for 12 years. Phillips attended Briarcliffe College, obtaining an associate’s degree

in graphic design in 2008. She has been an active member of the PTA for many years, holding the position of treasurer, and is currently vice president at Stagecoach Elementary School and recording secretary at Selden Middle School, which she said gives her the skills needed to serve on the Middle Country board. Phillips has chaired committees like homecoming, book fair and staff appreciation. She is also a recipient of the NYS PTA Jenkins Award, and is currently serving on the Middle Country legislative/community outreach committee, and has served on the interview committee. “I have been advocating against high stakes testing for the last four years and want to continue my work on the board of education,” she said.

Happy Mother’s Day

Eliness Estevez

Eliness “Ellie” Estevez is a threeyear resident and a senior at Newfield High School. The president of the mock trial team is also a member of the jazz choir, jazz band, pit orchestra, Tri-M Honor Society and leadership club, and is also a volunteer at Stony Brook University Hospital. A soon-to-be business major at Stern School of Business, Estevez looks to apply the knowledge she obtains of finance and management, to maintain fiscal responsibility. “I want to continue to offer students opportunities for success and academic excellence,” she said. “As a Middle Country student, I offer the perspective of the students as the district moves toward greater success in the future.”

This year’s proposed budget of $243,590,487 for the Middle Country Central School District is a 1.21 percent increase from last year’s expenditures, with a tax levy increase of 1.929 percent. It would cost homeowners roughly $108.41 and is under the 2 percent cap. “We look forward to continue offering our district-wide STEM programs — allowing students the opportunity to explore robotics, zSpace labs and 3D printing,” superintendent Roberta Gerold said. “These programs — along with our math literacy initiatives, music, arts and athletics programs — provide students with a well-rounded educational experience.” There is $63,215,804 in proposed foundation aid. The district will look to expand upon AP and College Tie offerings, add lab space for eighth grade living environment, add math periods for students in sixth through eighth grades, increase K-5 literacy and continue the full-day, pre-K program.

Bryan Karp, of Lake Grove, a licensed real estate salesperson at RE/MAX Eastern Properties in Ronkonkoma, is the recipient of the 2017 New York Region’s Community Citizenship Award. “I appreciate the recognition RE/MAX has given me,” he said. “It is very humbling to see young people benefit from the funfilled fundraising activities that I have created. I am a strong believer in supporting nonprofit groups with programs that help children to improve their self-esteem and general well-being.” Karp has been involved in several philanthropic activities including the Karp Family “community movie night,” an event that raised just over $7,000 to assemble and donate over 200 “sweet cases/duffel bags” for Hope for Youth, provider of residential care, foster care, preventive and outpatient programs. Karp is also a board member of the Stony Brook University Touchdown Club, an organization that does fundraising for Stony Brook athletics and Stony Brook football. “Bryan is a big-hearted person who is well regarded for his charitable undertakings and generous support,” RE/MAX broker and owner Diane Aversano said. “He is most deserving of the RE/MAX Community Citizenship Award.” Karp has been working in the real estate field for nine years and has been with RE/ MAX for seven. In the past he has received the RE/MAX Hall of Fame and Platinum Awards, which are a reflection of his home sales productivity.

County executive signs law to protect our parks By deSiRée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) signed legislation aimed at deterring illegal dumping at county parks — that includes tougher penalties for illegal dumping of hazardous materials, waste and debris. The new law allows for imprisonment of up to one year for each offense as well as increased fines of up to $10,000 for individuals and $15,000 for corporations convicted of illegal dumping. “Illegal dumping is a crime and we will hold those accountable to the fullest extent of the law for engaging in activities that undermine our parks,” Bellone said. “This legislation sends a clear message that we will use every means at our disposal to deter this egregious behavior and do what is necessary to protect our most precious natural resources.” He was joined by local legislators and Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy Sini at West Hills County Park in Melville, which was the scene of an illegal dumping incident in August 2016.

red light report Continued from page A4 town road; and non-state intersections, where a county road meets a county or town road. According to the report, intersections are chosen based on where the cameras would yield the highest safety result, but Raimondo doesn’t buy that. “They’re putting them in areas with the highest volume of people who don’t want to go to court and can afford to pay the ticket,” he said. “They’re targeting middle class people. It’s a real racketeering operation, it’s enterprise corruption.” Trotta echoed the sentiment. “It’s a sham,” he said. “It’s the equivalent of a 63 percent tax increase on resident’s general fund tax, except this way the Suffolk County executive can say he didn’t raise it — but in actuality he did and it’s absurd. He [Steve Bellone (D)] thinks the people of Suffolk County are idiots. It’s an insult to the residents.” According to the report released last month analyzing the 2015 data, 352,472 red light camera fines were paid in 2015, including payments immediately after first notice of a ticket and court-related fines. This has led to

“If you dump in Suffolk County, we will find you,” Sini said. “We will come for you and we will hold you accountable.” The newly signed law creates a separate penalty structure for dumping and makes it punishable as an unclassified misdemeanor. In addition, it increases corporate fines from $5,000 to $15,000 for dumping construction or demolition debris, hazardous materials or hazardous waste. “Illegal dumping in our parks affects our environment, our quality of life and our safety,” said Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), who sponsored the legislation. “Illegal dumping may contain toxic chemicals that can seep into our groundwater and negatively affect our health. It is important that we do everything in our power to prevent these activities from occurring and implementing this legislation is a step in the right direction.” The bill signing highlights the county’s ongoing initiative to protect its 48,000 acres in preserved parkland throughout Suffolk County and takes place in the aftermath of debris being located in various Long Island public parks. more than $17.6 million in gross fine revenues for the year ($19 million in 2014 on 380,809 fines paid). These fines and fees are deposited directly into a Suffolk County comptroller’s account, according to the report. Some areas across Suffolk County saw more red light camera incidents recorded and tickets issued in 2015, but others stayed at a steady rate or saw a decrease. The study details how many incidents a red light camera intersection tracks in a certain year, as well as how many tickets are issued from those incidents. In 2015 in Huntington Station on Oakwood Road, a huge 73,217 red light camera incidents were noted, with 3,741 tickets issued, compared to 9,773 incidents noted and 602 tickets issued in 2014. Lake Grove had 86,343 incidents with 4,636 tickets issued in 2014, and the next year that number jumped to 106,145 incidents yet saw a drop in tickets to 4,435. In East Setauket on Route 347, more than 1,000 incidents were recorded than the prior year at 37,594, however 45 fewer tickets were issued at 1,838. On Miller Place Road, 117,016 incidents were recorded in 2014, with 7,055 tickets issued, and in 2015 there was a drop in incidents tracked at 113,915, with 6,088 tickets issued.

Not long after Rocky Point mother Robin Siefert spoke to the school board about an anti-Semitic note left on her 9-year-old daughter’s desk March 23 at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (RShirley) picked up the phone. Zeldin, one of two Jewish Republicans in Congress, has 10-year-old twin daughters and reached out to Siefert as soon as he got wind of her situation, saying, “It hit very close to home.” “I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to assist,” Zeldin, a regular at the school’s annual Veterans Day assembly, said after his call with Siefert. “I could tell I was File photo above by Kevin Redding; file photo below left talking to a very loving mother passionately advocating for her daughter, and trying to be Robin Siefert, above, mother of a Rocky Point strong through a challenge that negatively im- student who was the victim of a hate crime act, received a phone call from Congressman pacted a young, innocent child.” He said he felt it was important the issue Lee Zeldin, below left, regarding the issue. be combated aggressively at its source, saying someone who draws a swastika may be speaking at the [board of education] meeting. inclined to do it again, or more, in the future.

Town Coram’s Strathmore Court neighborhood gets a face-lift by Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com The Strathmore Court neighborhood in Coram has been repaved. Before milling and paving began, the project involved the replacement of 20,150 square feet of aprons; 9,130 linear feet of curb; and 1,380 square feet of sidewalk, as well as drainage improvements and the removal of concrete median islands from the two dozen courts throughout the development, to allow for safe emergency service access. According to Brookhaven Town Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R), the 25-road project totaled $1,200,000. “This was an extensive and total reconstruction project that began last year,” Losquadro said. “We were able to complete this project with a combination of town labor and contractor support, providing much-needed improvement to the residents, all the while coming in 20 percent under budget.” Roads paved during this project included: Appomattox Court, Braddock Court, Burgoyne Court, Charleston Court, Charlottesville Court, Cornwallis Court, Delaware Court, Farragut Court, Federal Lane, Fredericksburg Court, Georgian Court, Gettysburg Court, Hampton Court, Hancock Court, Lexington Court, Merrimac Court, Monitor Court, Norfolk Court, Petersburg Court, Potomac Court, Sharpsburg Court,

highway department for getting this project done in my district, and I look forward to working with them on several additional projects throughout this year.”

Part three: A lesson in sugar, not so sweet — the danger of fructose Your turn

by CHris zenyuH “Natural” is one of the most abused terms in food marketing. Most “natural flavors,” for example, are simply chemical compounds synthesized in the same laboratories as artificial flavors using slightly different techniques and sources. Similarly, “fruit sugar” or fructose has an enticing natural sounding name, but very little of our fructose consumption actually comes from fruit. Instead, we typically accumulate fructose via table sugar — half of every teaspoon turns to fructose in our digestive system — and/ or high fructose corn syrup found in almost all processed foods and beverages, even fruit juice. Though coffee and tea are, by

themselves, free of fructose, the commonly consumed versions with syrups and flavoring from familiar national chains are more akin to soda, nutritionally. When it comes to fructose, you should keep a few things in mind to keep a more healthful perspective. As a sweetener, fructose hits 170 on a scale that ranks table sugar at 100 and glucose at 70. It also tastes sweet faster, browns faster, and holds more moisture than other sugars. These characteristics have made fructose an industry favorite, especially once the chemistry behind high fructose corn syrup became cost efficient. The only organ in your body that can process fructose is your liver. Metabolically, your body makes very little distinction between alcohol and fructose. Both are seen as poisons and both are detoxified by your liver accordingly. The primary distinction is that your brain can metabolize about 10 percent of the alcohol consumed, thus inebriation. Chronic exposure to fructose generates much of the same metabolic dysfunction as alcohol, including liver disease. Unfortunately, there is no “drinking age” for fructose, so even the youngest of children are regularly exposed to fructose. Glucose and fructose molecules can stick to proteins in your body. This is known as glycation. The more your cells

are exposed to these sugars, the more frequently this occurs. Your body does have the ability to disconnect these molecules, but too much glycation can overwhelm that system. Eventually, the attachments become permanent, known as ‘advanced glycation end-products’ or A.G.E.s (a telling acronym, for sure). These compromised proteins cross-link with each other in a manner that disrupts their function. Collagen fibers that should slide past each other become rigid and tear under stress. Skin wrinkles, ligaments tear, and the lens of your eye can start to block light (glaucoma). Consistently high levels of exposure are recorded by your blood cells as the hemoglobin becomes glycated. Blood tests can thereby show your general glucose and fructose levels over the three months preceding the test and indicate a pre-diabetic condition. Notably, fructose attaches to proteins seven to ten times faster than glucose, and it is harder for your body to undo these attachments. Following simple logic, that makes you age up to ten times faster, or faster than your dog. Eating a reasonable amount of fruit is not a problem. Beware of how easy it is to consume too much dried fruit, though. And remember that the true nutritional value of fruit resides in its vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. When consumed whole,

Flavorings in drinks can make the refreshment less healthy than it appears.

the potential negative metabolic impact of the sugars within is greatly lessened by the presence of the other nutrients, especially the fiber. Consuming ‘fruit sugar’ isolated from these beneficial components of fruit, including fruit juice, is a far more dangerous game to play with your metabolism. Knowing how your body responds to fructose enables you to make more healthful choices regarding food and beverages. Choose well, live well.

Middle Country shuts out Northport in second half By Bill landon Middle Country’s girls’ lacrosse team shut out Northport in the second half to cruise to a 14-5 victory May 8, and remain in a tie for the No. 2 spot in Division I with Smithtown East. Northport midfielder Olivia Carner broke the ice on a penalty shot in the first minute of play, as the Duke University-bound sophomore stretched the net for the early advantage.

Letters to the editor

Mother knows best

Reasons to be cautious watching ‘13 Reasons Why’

With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, our editorial staff wanted to take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the powerful mothers and grandmothers who have shaped our lives. Rita J. Egan: I think about unconditional love moms give, especially my own. I feel life is a little easier when you have a mother who doesn’t raise you with her own expectations as to how you should lead your life, but allows you to make your own choices based on what feels right. Desirée Keegan: My mother is my rock. Growing up as one of two children of a single mother, I saw firsthand what hard work and sacrifice really are. She worked most hours of the day, yet made each moment with us memorable. Through bouncing from house to house — even living in a hotel for six months — my brother and I always had smiles on our faces. And she still finds a way to make me laugh. Since I was waist-high she’d spin me around the kitchen dancing to Michael Jackson or Luther Vandross, forever leading the way. I can always count on her, and I want her to know she can always count on me. Victoria Espinoza: The first thing that comes to mind when I think of my mom is how unapologetically genuine she is. She can laugh at herself when she tries — and fails — to keep up with the times, she knows she’ll cry at any sad scene and will never hold back her tears, and she doesn’t care how many people hear her talk to her dogs (a trait I’m guilty of as well). She has taught me that above all else, the only thing I need to be in this world is authentically me. Alex Petroski: My mom spent my entire childhood trying to make my life and the lives of my two brothers better than hers and her siblings’. When I was a teenager, she went back to school to finally dedicate a little time to fulfilling goals she had for her own life. Her day-to-day work ethic and drive, and her refusal to give in when things were toughest were not lost on me, and I’m a better person for it. And sorry to break it to you, she’s a better cook than your mom. Kevin Redding: My mom is my hero. She raised me on her own for the first six years of my life and, even though that couldn’t have been easy, my permanent memory of her in those days is her big bright smile and complete determination to make sure I was the happiest kid in the world. She is the strongest, funniest, coolest, sweetest, most kind-hearted, generous and encouraging person I’ve ever known. There’s never been anything I felt I couldn’t tell her and she has an unparalleled ability to turn any bad situation into a good one — anybody who’s ever crossed paths with her knows just how infectious her energy and optimism are. Not only does my mom brighten up a room, she fills it with song (“Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin being her favorite) and no-holds-barred dancing (A little mix of Napoleon Dynamite and Ed Grimley). She’s a hardcore vegan who loves and protects animals, she does everything she can to take care of the needy, can throw a baseball like nobody’s business, loves to garden, and is always there when I need her. I love ya, Mom. Don’t forget to call the mother figures in your life this weekend and thank them for all they do.

Dear Mount Sinai Community, Over the past few weeks, the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why” has garnered national attention for its graphic, dangerous and devastating nature, and our school district has concerns about the impact this show could have on our student population. This series, which is based on a 2007 book of the same name, revolves around a 17-year-old female who takes her own life and leaves behind a series of 13 audio recordings explaining her decision. While the show’s producers have commented that they hope the series can be helpful to those who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide, members of the National Association of School Psychologists say differently, and, in fact, do not recommend that vulnerable youth, especially those who have any degree of suicidal inclination, watch the series. While the show addresses

topics that may be all too familiar to today’s youth — underage drinking, drug use, bullying and rape, for example — the nature in which they are presented can be troubling when viewed in this manner by an unaccompanied minor. If your child has expressed interest in watching this show, we urge you to be present during the viewing in order to provide appropriate adult guidance and support. It is important to have an open dialogue with your child about the material depicted and to remind them that while the topics are real, the manner in which they are portrayed has been intensified for television production. We urge the guiding message to be that suicide is never the answer, and that help is always available to anyone who is struggling. Knowing that these conversations may be difficult for some, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school counseling staff

if you are in need of additional support. Furthermore, if you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, there are additional resources beyond our school community available to help. These outside organizations include, but are not limited to, the National Crisis Hotline, 800-273-TALK (8255) or text “START” to 74174 and the Response Hotline of Suffolk County, 631-751-7500 or www.responsehotline.org. To further safeguard your child from watching this show or any other material that you as their parent do not find appropriate, please review the parental controls on your Netflix account. Customized settings enable account holders to limit the content accessible by any party.

Gordon Brosdal Superintendent Mount Sinai School District

When picking up trash goes viral At the Washington, D.C., March on Climate Change, our voices were strong. In February, Long Island temperatures soared to near 70, and in March they bottomed out in the single digits. As a naturalist teaching the Quality Parks Master Naturalist program, I see the changes. People suffer from tree pollen allergies and trees go full foliage too early. Some wildflowers that normally take advantage of the sunshine before leaf out are still not in bloom. Hot on joining another march, postgraduate work in conservation biology, to me considered conservation pathology, climate change or climate pathology is also human induced. I was now looking around for some local action. Picking up trash might not be sexy to most folks, but to me, it’s a symbol to rally behind.

Trash is going viral ever since Keep America Beautiful began its Great American Cleanup, 19 years ago. Trash is polluting our coastal waters. Trash is a danger to endangered species, like turtles, that mistake it for food. Trash feeds landfills, and the resulting methane gas adds to climate change. Trash is going viral, but in a bad way too. During the Washington march, we thumped our hearts 100 times to represent the 100 days President Trump’s been in office. Similarly, when you join Jane Fasullo (Long Island Sierra Club), Bruce Folz (Coastal Steward), Dr. Arthur “Artie” Kopelman (CRESLI), Quality Parks and others for the Great Brookhaven Cleanup on May 20 at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., we’ll have surprises. In the morning, we’ll clean up trash in the salt marsh, and then

at 11 a.m. head over to the beach. At noon, we’ll pause from picking up trash and face the Long Island Sound to hold hands in silence for 15 minutes to commemorate the day’s Hands Across the Sand. It’s a global movement focusing attention on the need for renewable energy. Then, we’ll continue on, learning about a national conservation movement, also on May 20 — Endangered Species Day. Returning, via the shellfish hatchery or nature center, we’ll continue to pick up any trash we find. Visit Quality Parks at www. qualityparks.org to join our group or contact me at mblock@qualityparks.org or 631-473-6760 to learn more.

Mindy Block Quality Parks President Port Jefferson

Thank you for attending the Hope Walk for Addiction As a Brookhaven Town councilwoman, I am honored to be invited to participate in hundreds of events every year. Recently, I had the opportunity to co-sponsor the Hope Walk for Addiction at Cedar Beach. The walk raised more than $35,000 for Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson to help young people who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction. This wonderful event was organized by Bill Reitzig

and his family, in memory of his son Billy who tragically passed away one year ago from a firsttime heroin overdose at 25 years young. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Bill and co-sponsor Father Frank Pizzarelli. Their strength and commitment to lead the way keeps hope alive for young people who are in desperate need of help. Lastly, I thank the sponsors, families, friends and neighbors

who walked so other families never have to experience the pain and heartache of seeing a loved one fall victim to drug and alcohol abuse. The success of the Hope Walk for Addiction proves that people can make a difference if we join together to fight addiction.

OpiniOn Celebrating the infectious exuberance of youth

hat keeps us young? Well, certainly eating healthy foods, exercising and sleeping are all on that list. But there’s something else that works, too. If you can, try hanging out with a group of younger people at a party, even if the music is loud and incomprehensible. At a recent party, I wasn’t sure what my daughter was saying, as I watched her sing every word with By Daniel Dunaief her eyes wide open and her hands fluttering at her sides like a butterfly’s wings. It’s as if both of my children have sped up the needle so fast on their speech that I suspect that what’s

D. None of the above

coming out of their mouths probably started out as distinct words at some point. I’m hoping that the message they are repeating isn’t something offensive or objectionable, like, “Environmental regulation is bad, so let’s put the fox in charge of the hens at the Environmental Protection Agency. Go fox, Go fox, Go fox.” No, wait, this isn’t about politics. A room full of children at the party, held by a family friend, made me think a bright scientist may one day figure out how to harness that energy, store it and release it at just the right time, either when someone needed to warm a house or a heart. The next generation seems to follow a simple formula: Why walk when you can run, skip or flip, why talk when you can shout and why stay on the ground when you can challenge gravity to hold you down? I recognize that loud parties filled with perplexing music may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The decibel level may damage hearing aids, de-

stabilize pacemakers, or rattle fillings or dentures. You don’t need to attend a kids party, especially if you weren’t invited to one, to share the exuberance of youth. Have you stopped your car on the way back along familiar routes to watch a T-ball baseball game, to listen to a chorus singing music you might know, or to watch a marching band trying to master John Philip Sousa while figuring out what yard line they’re supposed to be on when they reach the high notes? All that energy begets energy. I’ve heard people talk about how their children keep them young. Imagine multiplying that, even for a day or a few hours, by however many kids are celebrating the moment in a way that doesn’t get bogged down in blinking Blackberries, a pending deadline or a need to disappear into the immobile ether of the television. And if you’re fortunate enough, you can engage with some of the next generation in questions they raise

about the world. Many of us think we are pretty knowledgeable. That may be the case, until a child asks us a question we can’t answer. Of course, we could rush to the internet to find an answer we might soon forget, or we could try to inch our way to an answer or even revisit a question we hadn’t pondered in years. I’m sure teachers feel the same kinds of highs and lows that appear in so many other jobs. They have to discuss the Magna Carta year after year, or explain how the change in Y over the change in X represents the slope of a line. But, then, every once in a while, a student may ask a new question that brings the material to life and gives the teacher an opportunity to learn from the student. The best answers inevitably lead to the next best questions. Energy, insight, curiosity and joy don’t exist solely in the world of youth, but they are often easier to spot among a group of children whose joie de vivre lifts off at a party.

Surprise! Our parents are also people

n the eve of this year’s Mother’s Day, I have a question to ask you. Do you ever think of your parents as people? Sounds like an odd question, but I mean thinking about them in terms of the times they live through, their private satisfactions, their fears and phobias, the experiences that mold them and so forth. We know the facts they choose to tell us about their lives but not their deepest thoughts and feelings. By Leah S. Dunaief We can’t ever really know them, even though we grow up in their home. Most of us consider them as loving to us, making our lives comfortable, caring for us when we are sick, instructing us how to behave, making our favorite birthday dinners. But there is more to their existence than their interactions with us.

Between you and me

I sat down to try and picture myself in their shoes. I know that my father met my mother when he accompanied his older brother to the home of his brother’s fiancée for the first time. There, coming down the stairs in a red dress, was the sister of the fiancée, my mother. To hear my father tell it, he was struck instantly and forever by Cupid’s arrow. Although he was only 15, the sight of her took his breath away. So we know what my father was feeling, but how about her? Did she catch sight of him and feel the same overpowering love at first sight? Was she coming downstairs merely out of curiosity to meet her older sister’s intended, then to slip away for the afternoon with her friends? Did she have nervous or polite conversation with my father? What did they talk about? By the time she was 15 and he was 17, he had persuaded her to get married during her lunch hour in Manhattan’s City Hall. They prevailed upon two men in a nearby barbershop to be their witnesses and to swear that they were both of age. They then returned to work and to their separate homes that night.

My father was triumphant, I know, because he told us so, for now he had the love of his life as his own. Did he have any idea what that meant? You know, the stuff about making a home, supporting and caring for a wife? And my mother, my always and eminently practical mother? How had he convinced her to do this without telling her parents, her brothers and sisters, especially her older sister with whom she was dearly close? Hard as it is for me to picture, she must have been wildly in love. Theirs was a youthful marriage that worked. They were seldom apart, only during the workday, and they eagerly reunited in the evenings. I could sense the quickening of her breath as we heard his key in the front door. And they began their nightly nonstop conversations as he entered the apartment. My sister and I fell asleep each night to the hum of their voices coming from the kitchen. My dad was born in 1904, my mother in 1906, so they had both lived through World War I. My dad was lucky to be too young for the draft, but how did he feel seeing his

older brothers marching off to war? And my mother? Was she worried about the fate of her older brother? I never asked them. My parents decided everything together. My mother was more assertive about her opinions, but if my father didn’t agree she would back off. And while he seldom disagreed with her, when he did he was not reticent to let her know. They lived through the Great Depression, but I don’t know if they worried about money or job security. Were they afraid? There was no unemployment or health insurance then. Did they have nightmares about standing on breadlines? I never asked. I do know that by 1939 they started their first business with all the life savings they had managed to scrape together. Then came Pearl Harbor and World War II. Once again my father was saved, being just beyond draft age. Did they feel threatened by the attack and the war? What were their thoughts and feelings? How did they cope with the stress? I came along then, but at no time in their lives did I think to ask. Now, of course, it is too late.
