Cow Harbor Days 2019 C ow Harbor Days is an annual, weekend-long festival that celebrates the history of the Village of Northport, which was once known as Great Cow Harbor. This year, the village turns 125 years old. As the legend goes, Great Cow Harbor got its name because many cows once grazed the fields along the water’s edge. The only bovines in sight last weekend were costumed residents and festivalgoers.

The tradition coincides with the end of summer and typically attracts tens of thousands of people. This year’s glorious weather, if a little warm, seemed apropos for a farewell to the season. The events included a nationally ranked 10K run, a 2K fun run, a parade with marching bands and fire trucks, carnival rides, sidewalk sales, street vendors, live concerts in the bandstand and more. After Saturday’s race, the harbor glowed at dusk and into the evening with illuminated boats decorated for the festivities.

Huntington residents voice their opinions on Indian Hills impact study

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

More than 60 residents voiced their opinions on the proposed Preserve at Indian Hills development in Fort Salonga at a Town of Huntington Planning Board public hearing Sept. 18 to discuss the draft environmental impact statement on the project. Critics pointed to environmental concerns and negative effects on property values, while supporters viewed the project as beneficial to the community.

Tony Izzo of Fort Salonga, said the development would have lasting negative impacts on the community.

“Mr. [Jim] Tsunis [of The Northwind Group] wants to increase the size of the clubhouse by 30 percent and staff by 40 percent to accommodate a large catering restaurant,” he said. “The condos would be incompatible with the character of the neighborhood, it would double the size of the neighborhood.”

Izzo said he bought his house with his wife in 1987 with the assurance that the zoning would be R-40, which allows for the building of 1-acre single family homes.

“We expected to be living in suburbia, instead we are told to accept a certain lifestyle

— I’m not going to accept that,” he said.

“These condos will negatively affect property values. Protect the citizens of Fort Salonga, not the builder. This must be rejected.”

The Preserve at Indian Hills would be a 55-and-over clustered housing development.

In addition to the 98 town houses, the project also would include a new fitness center with an expanded clubhouse alongside the existing golf course.

William Berg of the Crab Meadow Watershed Advisory Committee brought up concerns about the impact the development could have on the watershed quality and surrounding wetlands.

“This study [the Crab Meadow Watershed plan] has not been completed or adopted by the Town Board,” he said. “Under land use the report states that the watershed is built out of its own density. I urge the Planning Board to call for the completion of the Crab Meadow Watershed study and thorough analysis of the information before making any conclusions on the project.”

Similarly, the Fort Salonga Property Owners Association asked town officials to place a moratorium on new developments in the Crab Meadow Watershed area, which includes

Preview the Very Best in Care

the Indian Hills property. While most of the speakers opposed the development, a few residents were in favor of the project. William Muller, who is a member of the Indian Hills Country Club, said he was supportive of the Northwind project and pointed to the need for more senior living.

“I have the belief that this plan will have less of an impact to the local community than the single-family alternative,” he said.

“There is always a need for the 55-and-older community and this would provide a wonderful setting for that population.”

Other supporters mentioned the tax revenue school districts would be poised to receive from potential development and said the golf course and condos should be considered assets for the community.

Barbara Duffy of Northport, had similar sentiments, stating she was supportive of the building of town houses.

“Having lived near the 17th fairway for 40 years, I find it very exciting to see the possibility of protecting the golf course and making

good use of the available open space,” she said.

“As you all know condominiums are a dire need for the 55-and-over community.”

John Hayes, president of the Fort Salonga Property Owners Association, said in an interview that he thought the hearing went well and hopes the Planning Board will listen to their concerns.

“This development has been overwhelmingly opposed by residents,” Hayes said. “We continue to challenge them on the density issues ... being too close to residents homes. There are still problematic environmental issues that were not really tackled by the developers [in the study].”

The town will be accepting public comments through Oct. 18 either online — Tony Izzo or letters can be mailed to Huntington Town Hall, Department of Planning & Environment (Room 212), 100 Main St., Huntington, NY 11743.

Following public comments, the next steps for the development would be a final environmental impact statement and a possible preliminary subdivision hearing that has yet to be scheduled.

Officials laud New York’s flavored e-cig ban, some call it not enough

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

As a New York State ban on flavored e-cigarettes goes into effect Oct. 4, community members and officials on Long Island are hopeful that this will be a good first step in curbing youth smoking.

The ban comes in the wake of several deaths experts have linked to e-cigarettes.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 450 cases of lung illness nationwide have been associated with e-cigarette products containing nicotine or THC. A number of those cases have occurred on Long Island.

Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) said he believes the ban is a great first step in limiting access of addictive products to young people.

“I think [the ban] is wonderful news,” he said. “We have seen a disturbing trend, we know this stuff is not good for you.”

Spencer cautioned that they have to be prepared for the unintended consequences of such a ban, particularly he said he wants to make sure that there are support systems and resources available to addicted individuals who may seek help.

“I want to make sure there are plans for parents who may have a child who is addicted [to e-cigarettes],” he said. “I will be working with the health department on a plan to deal with this.”

Despite the ban, Spencer believes there’s more to do to curb e-cigarette use and vaping, pointing to the ubiquitous e-cigarette product Juul as another concern.

“One Juul pod is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes,” he said. “You have kids smoking two or three of these pods.”

The legislator also mentioned that there are a number of loopholes on the state and federal level that he feels still need to be addressed.

There has been an increase in use of e-cigarettes in middle and high school students in recent years. Port Jefferson School District in particular is hosting a vape seminar at its next school board meeting Oct. 15. District officials are hopeful that the ban prevents further teens from thinking of vaping.

“Any step in the right direction is a good step,” said Paul Casciano, superintendent of the Port Jefferson School District.

“Unfortunately, people, including teens, were duped into believing that vaping was a safe alternative to smoking. There is still much more to be done including discussions about peer pressure and the fear of not fitting into a group.”

Casciano said the district has provided information and held numerous presentations on vaping for students and parents. Last

December, the district took part in a county pilot program called Vape Out where high school students watched a presentation on the health hazards of vaping and were given advice on how to refuse a hit. They then shared the lessons they learned with other classmates and students in the middle school.

“No singular program or curriculum is going to eliminate vaping among teens however constant and consistent messages from many voices may begin to stem the tide.” Casciano said.

Vape shop and small business owners have long been opposed to legislation on the sale of e-cigarettes. Back in December 2018, at a public hearing to discuss legislation that would have banned the sale of flavored e-cigarettes in Suffolk County, owners said the issue isn’t the flavors but rather an issue of access and enforcement of the sale of tobacco products to individuals over the age of 21.

Alex Patel, owner of the Rocky Point Smoke and Vape Shop, is concerned about the looming ban on flavored e-cigarettes as it is a popular item purchased at these vape shops.

“Of course, it is going to affect our business,” he said. “We could close down.”

Dr. Rachel Boykan, clinical associate professor of pediatrics at Stony Brook Medicine, said while she is supportive of the new ban, she thought it would be better if it included menthol.

“We know that youth are attracted to these products because of the flavors; this should decrease their appeal,” she said.

In addition, Boykan mentioned some ideas to further curb youth smoking.

“We need to regulate advertising, which teens respond strongly to and which is ubiquitous and unregulated, compared with advertising of cigarettes, which is restricted,” she said. “We need to decrease availability by including e-cigarettes in Tobacco 21 legislation ... include e-cigs in the same indoor air laws as combusted tobacco.”

Boykan said she and her colleagues have dealt with many children who vape and they try to educate them on the harm associated with it.

“We try to educate them about the risks of the flavorings and heavy metals such as copper, in the aerosol, and the recent severe lung illnesses and deaths — which we don’t yet understand,” she said.

The professor provided some advice to parents if they think their child may be vaping.

“They may smell a fruity smell, they may notice signs of nicotine addiction such

as agitation, anxiety, or if they are using marijuana as well,” she said. “The best approach is to establish trust, ask without judgment and be supportive if a child admits to having a nicotine addiction — and take them to their pediatrician for help.”

Vineyard’s popularity raises neighborhood concerns Lack of adequate parking clogs roadways

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Scores of Huntington residents attended the town’s September board meeting to complain about Del Vino Vineyards, a Northport-based vineyard and winery. Homeowners say customers are parking on neighborhood streets and in the surrounding area after the vineyard parking lot fills up, causing traffic congestion and safety concerns.

Earlier last month, the town board proposed changes to traffic code and creating “No Parking” zones in the vicinity, but the vineyard’s attorney is challenging the idea.

Anthony Guardino, a Hauppauge-based attorney and representative for the vineyard’s owner Frederick Giachetti, said at the meeting that the proposed regulations violate New York State agriculture and markets laws. “[The area] has been designated as an agriculture district from the state,” he said. “And the law prohibits governments from enacting laws that restrict or affect operations, unless there is a public health or safety concern.”

The attorney called the restrictions unreasonable and said it would be only fair to adopt a resolution that bans all parking on those streets regardless of the time. He also pointed out how soccer games on the weekends and school events contribute to the traffic congestion.

“We are operating within the confines of law we didn’t create it, it already exists,” Guardino said. “If the board wants to be fair, treat everyone the same.”

Mark Cuthbertson (D), Huntington councilman, took exception to Guardino’s remarks.

“It is a real conundrum for us, because they

have used an exemption ... it put us in a really difficult situation because some of the normal land use tools that we could use were not available to us,” he said. “And now we have a situation where basically the vineyard’s parking lot is the surrounding neighborhood.”

Cuthbertson said the spillover effect from parking in the neighborhood has been tremendous.

“Soccer teams don’t present the quality of life issues that the patrons of Del Vino pose,” he said.

After the meeting, in a separate email interview the village attorney said that Huntington does in fact have jurisdiction over parking in the residential area.

“While the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law preempts Town Zoning Code, the Town retains its authority over the regulation of traffic and parking on Town roads and protecting quality of life in our communities,” he said.

Matthew Karpoich, a homeowner on Starlit Drive, said he doesn’t think the proposed regulations will solve the parking issue and only push the burden back further to other neighboring streets.

“The core issue is that vineyard is not providing ample parking,” he said. “This is not a case of going from 50 percent capacity to 100 percent. When the vineyard is not open there are zero cars on our block and little traffic. We go from 0 to 100 percent capacity, bumper to bumper parking on our streets, when it is open.”

The Northport resident mentioned he bought his home so that his kids could ride their bikes and enjoy the quiet neighborhood. But said the presence of the vineyard has ruined that.

“The area has become the private parking lot

for Del Vino,” Karpoich said.

Neighborhood residents voiced a range of safety and public health concerns related to the parking issue.

Those concerns included the possibility of drunken drivers, passed out patrons on lawns and public urinating. The business, residents said, has also resulted in steady traffic of Uber and Lyft vehicles on the local streets.

Roy Kennis, who bought his house nearly 30 years ago, said the quiet neighborhood he once knew is a thing of the past.

“Whenever Del Vino has an event the streets become a grand central station of cars, SUVs and pick-up trucks hustling to a parking spot on both sides of the street,” he said. “They are unknown commodities only coming here for a few drinks.”

Lynn Ruder said the excessive parking have made many roads a oneway street.

“This a recipe for disaster, it is only a matter of time before there is a car accident or worse,” she said. “I urge you [the town board] to install No Parking signs as soon as possible, as this is the one thing you have jurisdiction over.”

The vineyard has been a thorn in the side of many residents since site plans were first intro-

duced in 2015. Some pointed out that similar businesses, like Harmony Vineyard in Head of the Harbor, have regulated that street parking is not permitted anywhere and it can only serve the number of customers that its parking lot can accommodate.

The town’s planning board originally approved in 2015 on-site parking for 60 vehicles for the vineyard and recently added 35 spots. No parking restrictions are now also up for consideration.

The next town board meeting is scheduled for Oct. 16 at 7 p.m.

Business owner leads the way toward a clean future

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Millions of people around the world demanded action from world leaders on climate change as part of the Global Climate Strike Sept. 20. The protests have put the ongoing crisis back in the forefront.

Recently, New York lawmakers aimed to tackle the climate change issue head on, as they passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, a bill that will aggressively target greenhouse gas emissions in the state. On Long Island, there are plans for two offshore wind projects, located off the East End and South Shore.

The wind farms will provide close to 1,700 megawatts of energy, and are expected to power more than 1 million homes. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has mandated 9,000 MW of offshore wind capacity by 2035.

While those goals are in the distant future, there are still things the average person can do on their own to help in the fight against climate change and environmental degradation.

“It all comes to educating people and making sure they are aware of these issues,” said Melanie Gonzalez who is the owner of Simple Good at 35 Chandler Square in Port Jefferson. The shop is

pro-actively offering a number of sustainable and zero waste items.

Gonzalez said the inspiration for the store came after buying plastic toys for years for her son, Julian, when she noticed the toys would break easily and she was left with tons of plastic packaging.

“I was like, ‘What happens to all this plastic and where does it go?’” she said. “I was totally ignorant ... but once I learned the facts [on plastic waste], it was life changing.”

Since then, Gonzalez has been an advocate of reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment. She believes Long Island has moved in the right direction on climate change and plastic reduction, but it may also come down to changing people’s habits and behaviors.

The Rocky Point resident said it could be as simple as switching your plastic toothbrush with alternative that is made out of bamboo, which is more cost effective and in turn better for the environment.

Gonzalez said everybody should avoid single-use plastic items and recommended using your own utensils when ordering takeout food.

She also spoke on the importance of composting and recycling.

“People are frustrated about recycling,” she said. “Long Island isn’t the easiest place

to recycle.”

Last year, the towns of Brookhaven, Smithtown and Huntington had a rude awakening about their recycling practices when China announced it would cut its intake of U.S. recyclables by a huge margin. Municipalities across the nation were affected. In just one example, Brookhaven Town has moved back to asking residents to separate their garbage.

Gonzalez said she remains optimistic that the climate change movement on the Island is on the right track.

Elisabeth Van Roijen, vice president of the Sierra Club at Stony Brook Simple Good in Port Jefferson offers zero waste and sustainable University, said Long Island is a much products.

Tigers pull off a shutout

The Northport Tigers brought their “A” game against visiting Copiague with a decisive 6-0 shutout victory in a League III matchup Sept. 19. The Tigers spread the wealth with six different scorers led by Dan Costello with a goal and two assists. Seniors Ryan Shashaty and Ryan Reynolds both found the net, juniors Michael Pinzone and Aidan Sawczyk scored and freshman Kameron Paz shot on goal was on the mark. The win lifts the Tigers to 2-1 in league and 4-2 overall.

Northport built on their momentum when they took the field Sept. 23 and beat Centereach 2-0.

Clockwise from top left: Tage Oster,13, takes aim for Northport; junior midfielder Dan Costello clears the ball upfield; junior forward Kyle Gallagher sets up the play for victory against Copiague; Peter DeTolla, 2, dribbles around a defender.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

Paying attention to The mystery of Donald Trump’s loyal base local elections Long Island residents bear a tremendous tax burden. So, when the editorial staff at TBR News Media report low voter turnouts for local elections, we are constantly puzzled. Why are people not voting?

A recent example is the Sept. 10 special election in the Setauket Fire District where commissioners were looking for the go-ahead to buy four new pumper trucks. While the vote wasn’t one that would immediately result in higher taxes like a bond vote, the district was still looking for the community’s approval to spend approximately $2.5 million. The vote was a meager 8565 for the new trucks. With over 11,000 voting age residents in the fire district, where was everybody that Tuesday?

In comparison, on Sept. 18, Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in Setauket saw 416 residents approve its budget and 61 voting “no.” While not a huge turnout, more people showed up to cast their votes.

Looking at board of education votes in North Shore communities, the turnouts seem only marginally higher.

Considering school budgets can be a big hit to taxes, why do so many people miss out on casting their votes?

In 2019, for example, the Miller Place School District proposed a $74 million budget, an $1.2 million increase from the previous year. Only 783 residents turned out to vote. The hamlet may be small compared to other districts in our area, but according to the 2010 census, more than 12,000 people live there. Again, where was everyone?

When it comes to elections, whether for a fire or school district or library, entities are required by law to post legal notices in their local newspapers, which they do. And while they are not legally obligated to, many send out letters and include information in their newsletters and on their websites, and spread the word through social media. Plus, many school districts and libraries hold events to go over budgets with the community, though the meetings tend to be not well-attended by residents.

The current system and practices seem inadequate.

It may be time for elected officials to look into the possibility of combining all such votes on one day, either in November or on primary day. If that’s not possible, due to fire district boundaries being different to those of school districts, then maybe legislators can set up funds to help fire districts, schools and libraries cover costs to better advertise elections. With the most recent Setauket Fire District vote, no letters were sent out, due to cost.

Under the current arrangement, entities have more incentive not to promote elections, since low voter turnout often means a proposal is more likely to be approved by the few people in the know.

Perhaps it’s time to institute a requirement: A certain percentage of residents must vote before a referendum can become official.

But the onus must also fall on the electorate as well as the government entities organizing an election.

So, in the meantime: Vote! It’s the only way to be sure your voice is heard.

The 2016 election of Donald Trump resulted, in large part, from working class, non-college-educated white voters deserting a Democratic Party (and the establishment GOP) perceived as economically and culturally out of touch and embracing Trump’s populist, anti-establishment, nationalist rhetoric and promises. Resenting cultural and racial displacement, illegal immigration and economic regression, these “forgotten Americans” saw, in Donald Trump, the savior who would “make America great again.”

The dangerously polarized body politic is ill served by the mutual demonization of our current political discourse. Thus, I shall neither impugn nor denigrate the beliefs or values of those who, in good faith, embraced the vision of candidate Trump.

What is inexplicable, however, is the inability of these very supporters to recognize the failure of President Trump’s vision and campaign promises? Building an 1,800-mile

wall paid for by Mexico produces 40 miles of wall paid for by the American taxpayer.

Promising to balance the budget within eight years morphs into a projected $9.1 trillion deficit in that period. Repeal and replace Obamacare fails with 7 million Americans losing their health insurance under Trump.

A pledge to cut taxes of the middle class fills the coffers of the rich (with the top 1 percent receiving 83 percent of the benefits) while, by 2027, the bottom 60 percent of Americans will pay more.

“Drain the swamp” translates into Trump’s national security adviser, campaign manager and private attorney in prison; our regulatory agencies staffed by the former executives and lobbyists drawn from the industries they are now regulating; hush money paid to a porn star; financially profiting from the presidency; and seeking Russian and Ukrainian assistance in two campaigns. Pledges to project American strength abroad is reduced to alienating

allies, coddling despots and failing to contain North Korea, Iran, Russia and the Taliban while waging a trade war with China that threatens recession. And finally despite promising to “always tell you the truth,” more than 12,000 lies have been reported in his 950 days in office.

One would hope that at some point, Trump supporters would become overwhelmed by his failures and broken promises and reject him. That they do not may be explained by recognizing that Trump’s actual promises and policies were never the key to their support. Rather, they loyally follow him not because of who he is or what he does but because of what they think he believes — and how that empowers them and makes their voice relevant once more. They incorrectly believe that conceding Trump’s failures would delegitimize their core values and beliefs.

Pay attention to 347 and Nicolls Road

In regard to Rita J. Egan’s article in the Sept. 12 The Village Times Herald on the Stony Brook Road makeover, I would like to state that this project has been a long time coming. I originally brought up the problems to former county Legislator Vivian Viloria-Fisher. Then to past Town of Brookhaven Councilman Steve FioreRosenfeld. Then to Councilwoman Valerie Cartright.

The plaudits given to Sen. John Flanagan and Assemblyman Steve Englebright are fine, but where is the help to get the Route 347/Nicolls Road intersection fixed?

It is possibly the worst and most overcrowded intersection on Long Island, and the one that should have been done first on the Hauppauge to Port Jefferson makeover. That project started at the west end and has come to an apparent dead end. So the Route 347/Nicolls Road intersection just sits.

Kara Hahn represents [the 5th District of] Suffolk County and could get involved as Nicolls Road is under county jurisdiction.

The guide rail on Nicolls Road is a disgrace.

Two or three years ago she told me personally that the money was in that year’s budget. Look at the guide rail as you drive

by. Do you think it looks very protective?

Please stop heaping praise on your local and state politicians when their help for the bigger projects is not forthcoming. Stop the excuses and work on the major issues.

I was also told a few years ago not to worry about a traffic light being put up at the Stony Brook University Research and Development Park entrance/exit. You now have that signal, which is on a grade by the way, which is not going to be much fun when you may have to start or stop during inclement weather on an up or downgrade.

My experience with India pale ale After reading Bob Lipinski’s “The resurgence of India pale ale” in the Sept.

19 TBR News Media’s Arts & Lifestyles section, I felt compelled to comment.

First off, I loved the article yet feel I must add my own experience to it.

In the fall of 1974, I returned from San Diego while finishing Coast Guard training for anti-submarine warfare. While out West, I was least of all impressed with Coors, Olympia and some of the other local brews and gravitated toward the ales

(which were few and far between).

Well, one afternoon, I was in Stony Brook Beverage looking for my usual, Ballantine XXX ale, when the clerk recommended I try a recent addition to their stock called Ballantine India Pale Ale. It was 99 cents for a six pack. He said that if I enjoyed the XXX, I would certainly enjoy this.

Well, after the first swallow, I was hooked. I drank this IPA as it was the only one available and there was no

competition at the time.

Then as suddenly as it appeared, it vanished, and I was in mourning for over 20 years. The rest is history but I must say that I remember Ballantine as the pioneer of IPAs. Now I am paralyzed by choice.

I now frequent the Country Corner in Setauket which has always at least five craft IPAs on tap and changes brands almost daily (as well as their lines regularly).

Opinion

Practicing what we preach, one bottle at a time

E

vidence of my own failure sits in plain sight on my desk. I believe in recycling, in saving the planet, in doing what’s right for me, my children and for future generations.

I readily agree that using onetime plastic pollutes the world and kills marine creatures.

And yet, here, sitting on my desk, are two plastic water bottles from onetime-use plastics.

D. None I will, of of the above course, recycle

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF them, but that’s not the point.

Why can’t I walk the walk if I talk the talk? It’s not enough to believe in something or to nod in agreement

as I read articles about conserving ecosystems, protecting biodiversity and reducing our — no, my — carbon footprint. I could and should do something about it. For example, I should use, clean and reuse the same cup, cutting back on waste.

I speak with people regularly about conservation when I write the Power of Three column for TBR News Media. Often, I ask in the context of their findings about climate change, the atmosphere or biodiversity, what kind of car they drive or how they live their lives. Interviewees sometimes chuckle anxiously, share their concerns about flying to research meetings, and sigh that they should do more. Well, maybe the better way to describe it is they should live differently.

We all think good thoughts, but those thoughts alone don’t change the world. The environment isn’t self-cleaning, the planet has limited space and finite resources, and we should look closely in the mirror at our own decisions and actions.

I read about 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who came to the United Nations and delivered an impassioned speech, challenging leaders to do more and to protect the world for her generation. The teen’s words spoke volumes, as she demanded accountability and passed judgment, from the younger generation on up, for the failings of all of us who haven’t heeded the warnings.

Despite her young age, she has walked the walk. She traveled by boat to the United Nations in New York aboard a zero-emission yacht because she refuses to use a mode of transportation — flying — that emits carbon dioxide. She also went to Davos, Switzerland, for 32 hours aboard a train, again limiting her contribution to fossil fuel emissions. Each of those options might not be practical for many people, but they show her commitment and passion.

We live with a predicament: We see and acknowledge what we believe are our principles, and then we take actions that at times

conflict with those beliefs.

That extends beyond the world of climate change and conservation. We often have a chance to see the disconnect between what we say and what we do when our children — or someone else’s children — point them out to us. We don’t want our children texting while they’re driving and yet they sit next to us or in the backseat and see us connecting through our phones with work colleagues or with people waiting to meet us for dinner.

It is also why any kind of poll isn’t completely accurate. We might say one thing, but do the opposite for a host of reasons, including not wanting to tell a cheerful stranger on the other end of the phone what we intend to do.

We recognize the importance of supporting ideas. The challenge, however, comes when we have the chance to choose between the easier option — a plastic bottle of cold water — or the one that supports our beliefs.

When we see our failures of principle, the question is: What are we going to do about it?

‘Over 50 and basically dead’ is an example of bigotry

A

geism is a bias just as much as racism and religious intolerance. And just like other bigotries beget those who are fighting to correct such attitudes, there is an effort underway to counteract ageism. One arena being targeted in that regard is the advertising world, as at the Advertising Week conference which is being held in New York this week.

Now, remember, older people hold the bulk of the wealth in this and every other country and make up a growing segment of the global population.

According to The New York Times, in an article by Tiffany Hsu Sept. 23, more than a third of the American population is over Between 50, yet that segyou and me ment is portrayed “in only 15 percent

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF of media images,

according to research from AARP, the powerful advocacy organization” for older Americans.

We all know that marketing and advertising are powerful influencers in our lives. Martha Boudreau, AARP chief communications and marketing officer, is quoted as saying that “many advertising agencies had never dealt with marketing campaigns targeting older consumers. Recent ads have described being 50 years old as being ‘basically dead’ and characterized older people as selfish and out of touch.”

In fact, it is the older generation that is helping their younger family members to attend college and get a start in their careers to an unprecedented degree because the older generation is richer today than at any other time in history.

So why would that attitude persist? Here’s a likely explanation. There is rampant ageism in the offices of advertising agencies. Again, according to The Times, at advertising, public relations and related companies in the United States, “more than 81 percent of employees are younger than 55. And just for an interesting comparison, in Britain, the average age of advertising employees

is “not quite 34.” In trade publications for the advertising agencies, employees have described the industry as a “Peter Pan,” Few last long enough for a retirement party and there have been lawsuits charging age discrimination.

Yes, someday those same employees will be 50 years and older, and their perspectives will change, but we are dealing with the here and now.

Here are some more details from a report involving 1,116 images reviewed by AARP. More than 53 million people older than 50 are employed in the United States, but only 13 percent of the images showed older people working.

Those photographed were pictured mainly at home, with a partner or a medical professional.

The numbers get worse. Not even 5 percent of the images showed older folks handling technology, although the Pew Research Center found that 69 percent of people in the age group of 55-73, according to The Times, owned a smartphone. But more than a third of the images showed younger people with technology.

AARP’s Boudreau commented for The Times, “Marketers reflect the culture and the conversation in our country. Stereotypes about the 55-plus demographic were really limiting

people’s sense of what they could do with this half of their lives.” The group collected 1,400 images for conference attendees showing older people running businesses, playing basketball and hanging out with younger generations.

“McCann, which runs a network of advertising agencies, suggested in a report last year that marketing campaigns consider perspectives of aging as ‘a journey of limitless opportunities and personal growth’ rather than ‘as a time of anxiety and uncertainty,’ according to The Times.

There has been some progress in changing perceptions. A decade ago the best-selling image from Getty, the stock media supplier of images, was of an older couple in sweaters embracing on a beach. In June with an increase of 151 percent in customer searches of “seniors” from a year earlier, the most popular image in the category shows a group of women in T-shirts practicing yoga.

For our part, here at TBR News Media, we welcome older applicants for positions just as we do those of any age. All we are interested in is the best possible talent and judgment to serve our mission each week.
