Hampton Inn to Be Built on Grounds of Old Huntington Town Hall BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Developers will look to turn the old Huntington Town Hall into a Hampton Inn hotel. The $24 million proposed project by Holtsvillebased Huntington Village Hotel Partners LLC would turn the more than 100-year-old former Town Hall, located at 227 Main St., into an 80room hotel. The Town Hall building would be converted to the hotel’s lobby, breakfast room and gym. A 53,636-square-foot addition will be used for the guest rooms. Rosario Cassata and George Tsunis, developers for the project, also intend to buy the property adjacent and across the street of the old government building for parking. In addition, the project secured $2.8 million in tax breaks from the Suffolk Industrial Development Agency. The tax breaks were awarded at a Feb. 13 Suffolk IDA meeting and include $1.8 million off property tax over a 15-year period. According to IDA documents, about 128 workers will be employed during the construction phase of the hotel. Once

completed, the hotel will have 14 employees who will earn just over $39,700 per year. Tony Catapano, executive director of the Suffolk County IDA, said he believes the hotel will bring in visitors from outside and around Long Island. “The historic nature [of the building] will draw people to it, there will definitely be interest from residents in Suffolk and Nassau County,” he said. The proximity of the hotel to the downtown

area is another plus, the executive director of the agency said. “The hotel from downtown Huntington village is really walkable, and they’ll be able to take advantage of the local amenities,” he said. “The old Town Hall building is the eastern entrance to downtown and I think retrofitting it into a hotel will make [the entrance] beautiful.” The IDA granted the tax incentives using a tourism exception to the state law that prohibits helping retailers. As part of the IDA’s Long Island
First policy, the developers are required to buy materials from local companies and employ local construction workers. This is not the first time a hotel has been proposed for the old Town Hall, back in 2014, the IDA backed a different project that would have cost upward of $10 million. It would have received $3 million in tax breaks over 15 years. The project ultimately failed to get off the ground. According to IDA documents, the hotel is anticipated to open in the second quarter of 2021.

Town Clerk Conducts His First Marriage Marathon One Huntington official carried on a town and family tradition Valentine’s Day. Huntington Town Clerk Andrew Raia (R) officiated over the Valentine’s Day Marriage Ceremony Marathon that took place in Huntington Town Hall Feb. 14. The event was first initiated by his mother, former Town Clerk Jo-Ann Raia, in 1995. It was an event the new town clerk was pleased to continue. “I am thrilled to be continuing on the tradition established by my predecessor, JoAnn Raia, of hosting multiple wedding and
renewal of vows ceremonies on Valentine’s Day here in Town Hall,” he said. “This event has always been received enthusiastically by the couples that have participated, and it was a privilege and a pleasure for me to unite these couples and to share in their happiness on this very special day.” Raia performed eight wedding ceremonies and one vow renewal during the marathon. Among the couples were Victoria Espinoza and Alex Petroski. A few years ago, the couple met while working at TBR News Media. Espinoza went on to become the editor of The Times of Huntington & Northport and The Times of Smithtown before she left the media group in 2017, and Petroski was the managing editor and editor of The Port Times Record and The Village Beacon Record before he left at the end of 2018. Jo-Ann Raia remembered Espinoza covering the event in the past. “I am very proud of the way the new town clerk, Andrew Raia, planned his first Valentine’s Day Marriage Marathon, and I am pleased to see my tradition of 25 years continued,” Jo-Ann Raia said. “In fact, Victoria and Alex Petroski met at The Times of Huntington newspaper, and Victoria covered for the Times Beacon Record several years of my Valentine’s Day Marriage Marathon, and I’m excited they took the opportunity of

Students Celebrate Valentine’s Day at TJL
Students at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School got in the spirit of Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14. Third-graders visited math teacher Nancy Sordi and learned to measure different ingredients, like glue and red food dye, to make Valentine’s Day slime. Some students chose to make their slime even more festive with glitter and heart-shaped confetti. Down the hall, fourth-graders in Danielle Donohue and Jane Dayton’s class prepared Valentine’s Day care packages to send to troops overseas. Students sorted lollipops, candy bars and cookies between three boxes that will be shipped to soldiers stationed in the Middle East. Additionally, each of the students designed a Valentine’s Day card to be sent with the care packages. See more photos online at www.tbrnewsmedia.com.

The Rev. Dr. Lester F. Ayars, one of the longest tenured pastors of a church on Long Island (47 years), died peacefully Feb. 11 at 80 years of age after an extended illness. Pastor Ayars, or simply Pastor, as he was affectionately called by members of his congregation and friends throughout the community, came to Northport Baptist Church in January of 1968. In 2008, while celebrating his 40th year at the church, he had said, “From the time I first entered the pulpit on that bitter cold, January morning, I had no idea my journey would last 40 years and counting.” In 2014 he became pastor emeritus. Born in Salem, New Jersey, Sept. 2, 1939, Ayars attended Salem Technical Institute and graduated in 1960. He then studied at Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, where he attended from 1960 to 1963. He went on to Moody Bible Institute and graduated in 1965, and then the California Graduate School of Theology, where he earned a doctorate of divinity in 1984. He was the pastor of Zion Evangelical Free Church in Chicago, Illinois, from 1964 to 1966. He served as assistant pastor in 196667 at Hydewood Park Baptist Church in North Plainfield, New Jersey. During his long tenure, Ayars oversaw several building expansions and a congregation that grew 10-fold. He was never afraid to make changes in the church to continually reach that next generation. In the 1980s, he introduced a more modern
worship style for the church. In the 1990s, he developed a small group ministry where people met in homes each week to support and encourage one another. Ayars also oversaw changing the name of the church from Northport Baptist to Island Christian Church in 2011. This was a way of letting the community know that “we’re part of the Long Island community and we get what it means to live here.” It is difficult to sum up a man’s impact on the church and generations of members and attenders over almost a 50-year period. In fact, “his impact stretches even way beyond our local church, when we consider how many missionaries were sent out, serving in locations throughout the world,” his son-inlaw, Rev. Andy Laub said. “What drove him was his love of Christ and wanting to have a part in furthering God’s kingdom, from right here in East Northport.” Ayars is survived by his wife, Diane (married in 1965); three children, Pamela (Andrew), Daniel (Trisha) and Paul (Kimberly); and eight grandchildren, Jason, Courtney, Kristen, Madison, Ryland, Kylah, Peyton and Parker. A memorial service is planned for Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. at Island Christian Church, 400 Elwood Road, East Northport. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Soundview Pregnancy Services, 1975 Hempstead Tpke, Suite 304, East Meadow, NY 11554.

Perspective Your Turn Series on Brexit: Prime Minister Boris Johnson Gets It Done A Brit Reviews the UK’s Eventual Withdrawal from Europe BY JOHN BROVIN DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Part 3 of 3 When I started this series in March 2019, I wanted to give U.S. readers a Brit’s inside view on Brexit. The term has now become such common currency over here, rather like the Latin phrase “quid pro quo,” that all I need explain is that Brexit refers to Britain exiting the European Union, which it duly did Jan. 31 of this year. On the same date the U.S. Senate rejected further witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump (R). It was hardly a red-letter day for western politics. After publication of the first two articles, I was approached by residents of all age groups at the Stony Brook railroad station, in a deli, at a mall, in a coffee shop, at a party, even at an outdoor art show. Everyone expressed an intrigued interest in Brexit and, it’s fair to say, concern for my English home country. What on earth was going on? Why indulge in such potential self-harm? When I left you with my June article, the United Kingdom and EU had agreed on another revised exit date, Oct. 31, but with no parliamentary majority the way forward was still far from clear. “Will there be a general election, second referendum, another EU extension or a hard no deal?” I asked. It came to pass there was a general election Dec. 12 and a further EU extension to Jan. 31, with no second referendum or precipitous hard deal (to date). With the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU, what happened in the interim?
A third prime minister in three years
For a start, on July 24, Boris Johnson achieved the prize he had wanted from his days as a privileged aristocratic youth at Eton College and Oxford University: the prime ministership of the U.K. After being elected as leader of the Conservative Party (also known as the Tories), he took over from the hapless Theresa May (C) who was unable to deliver on her promise to leave the EU after three years in the hot seat. Brexit had thus claimed another victim, making Johnson the third prime minster since David Cameron (C) fell on his sword after a dismal and inept Vote Remain campaign during the June 2016 referendum.
Without a working majority, Johnson was confronted by a parliament determined to ensure that if Brexit happened there would be no hard deal. The new prime minister even tried, unsuccessfully, to suspend parliament for five weeks in an effort to stifle debate and ram through the withdrawal agreement by Oct. 31. Queen Elizabeth II was inadvertently embroiled when she dutifully signed the prorogation request of Johnson, who made the flimsy pretense of needing time to prepare for the Queen’s Speech, but the U.K. Supreme Court ruled otherwise. I suspect Her Majesty was not amused. There was clearly a power battle being fought between parliament and the prime minister, reminiscent of the current war of attrition between Congress and Trump. The generally pro-Brexit Tory Party, with its band of rabid hardliners, was armed with the 52-48 percent Voter Leave victory of the 2016 referendum. Amid calls from the Brexiters for “democracy” to be respected and with a definite all-round war weariness in the nation, it was clearly going to be difficult for the main opposition parties — Labour, Liberal Democrats, Scottish National Party and the Greens — to overturn “the will of the people.” At one time, the charismatic speaker of the House of Commons, John Burcow, even invoked an arcane 1604 parliamentary principle to stifle a government motion. (Think about it, that’s 16 years before the Mayflower landed on our shores.) However, the opposition could not find agreement among themselves for a unified approach, even with voting support from 21 Tory rebels. This rump included former Chancellor of Exchequer Philip Hammond, Father of the House Ken Clarke and Sir Winston Churchill’s grandson, Nicholas Soames. Incredibly these respected establishment figures were thrown out of the Tory Party in petulant retribution. You see what I mean about parliamentary drama. With time running out, the EU begrudgingly extended the Oct. 31 deadline to Jan. 31 after a last-minute fudged agreement with Johnson over the vexatious Irish border backstop question.
December general election
Parliament was still in deadlock, but eventually a general election was called for Dec. 12. Campaigning on a resonating “Get Brexit done” ticket, Johnson won a huge working majority of 80 seats to break the parliamentary impasse. His Conservative Party brushed aside the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats, also Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party. Labour, in its worst general election result since 1935, ignominiously saw the demolition of its “red wall” in the industrial north of England, the traditional home of socialism. The Lib-Dems, under Jo Swinson, went all out with a remain message. Yet this bright young leader couldn’t articulate on the stump the benefits of staying

in Europe and she even lost her own parliamentary seat. The main opposition winners were the Scottish Nationalist Party, under Nicola Sturgeon, which swept Scotland. Watch out for a possible future referendum for Scotland to leave the U.K. and become a member of the EU. Richard Tapp, of Burgess Hill, West Sussex, added in an email, “Besides the Scottish Nationalists, the pro-EU parties in Northern Ireland also did well, at the expense of the proBrexit Democratic Unionist Party whose leader in Westminster lost his seat to the nationalists of Sinn Fein who campaign for a united Ireland — and so remain in the EU.” Johnson had targeted the disaffected, forgotten part of the nation — the provincial middle class as well as the working class — with a Trump-like populist message, just as the new prime minister had done beforehand with the referendum. The general election was a damning indictment of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party, both for his far-left policies and his “sit on the fence” approach to Brexit. Interestingly, there are concerns in the U.S. about the Democratic Party following the Labour/Corbyn route to self-destruction in the next election with a progressive socialist agenda. James Carville, President Bill Clinton’s (D) 1992 election-winning strategist, was particularly animated on the subject in the Financial Times and on “Morning Joe,” referring to the unelectable Corbyn by name.
Brexit is done
And so, with no obstacles in his way, Johnson “got it done” by signing a withdrawal agreement with the EU, meaning Britain officially left the union at the end of January after almost a half-century of membership. Brexit is now fully owned and controlled by the prime minister and his Conservative Party, with the background help
of Dominic Cummings, the architect of the Vote Leave campaign’s victory in 2016. The coverage on BBC World News in Brussels revealed genuine European regret at the loss of Britain as a vital contributing member to the EU, including politicians from Poland and Sweden. Yet the expected party atmosphere in the U.K. didn’t materialize because the country was still split right down the middle — and it was raining on Farage’s celebration parade outside the Houses of Parliament. Financial Times columnist Simon Kuper had a perverse explanation for the low-keyed reaction: “On Jan. 31, many Brexiters spent their ultimate moment of triumph attacking elitist traitors instead of celebrating.” This revenge, he said, “is so much of the point of populism.” Those Brexit voters expecting a brand-new dawn, with a return to the glory days of the British Empire free of the EU yoke, will have to wait until at least Dec. 31 this year for all kinds of trade, security and legal negotiations to be agreed before the cord is cut. During this transition period the U.K. will continue in the EU’s custom union and single market, while still complying with EU rules (but without any more say in the lawmaking process in the European Parliament). Johnson has indicated there will be no extension, leading to the nightmare scenario of a possible no deal commencing Jan. 1, 2021. It will not be an easy negotiating ride. I’m still of the view that a people’s referendum should never have been considered by Cameron on such a critical and complex matter, which will affect generations to come. His irresponsible bet was compounded by the Brexiters never explaining the downsides — and dangers — of leaving Europe, including diminished influence on the world stage. Already China is waiting in the wings. Michael Hanna, of Hassocks, West Sussex, echoed my thoughts in an email on the night of Jan. 31: “In about two hours time Boris and his Gang will tear us out of the European Union on the say so of just 17.4 million, a mere 37 percent of the electorate. This is politically the saddest day of my life. For the last 47 years we have been members of the great European family of nations to which we should naturally belong. This has given us huge benefits which the Tory government is knowingly throwing away.” With thanks for their on-the-spot observations to my British friends Roger Armstrong, Chris Bentley, Mike Hanna, Martin Hawkins, John Ridley and Richard Tapp. John Broven, a member of the TBR News Media editorial team, is an English-born resident of East Setauket, who immigrated to the United States in 1995. He has written three awardwinning (American) music history books and is currently editing the first book on New York blues.

Don’t Eliminate Bail Losquadro Calls on State to Increase Road Funding Reform, Fix It
Sometimes change can take a bit of time. Months after state legislators moved to eliminate cash bail for low-level crimes, issues with the law, plain for all to see, have created another partisan fight in Albany. Democrats have said they wish to take a closer look at the criminal-justice reform measures originally passed as addenda to the state’s 2020 budget. Republicans, despite knowing the bill was coming down the pike for months since it was passed in the middle of last year, started calling for complete repeal at the outset of the law being enacted. They should have given input earlier. We agree that taking a closer look at this law is a necessary measure and, while it shouldn’t be repealed, it can be made stronger with revisions. We understand the basic intentions of the bail reform law. In the past, many who were arrested for allegedly committing a low-level crime were unable to make bail, while others with fatter wallets could simply walk out and continue with their lives until their trials. Those who couldn’t afford to pay up and had a job would lose days at their workplace and potentially could lose the job itself. Pretrial incarceration can also be detrimental regarding child custody. Of course, sticking a person in prison for extended periods may even incentivize innocent people to take a plea deal just to get out, now with a crime on their record. And despite bail bond companies cries of loss of revenue when it comes to a suspect’s stay in jail, the costs are on the taxpayers. Several local Democrats have asked to revise the law, including state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport). Englebright’s focus is on barring dangerous criminal defendants from being released. We agree. There needs to be some kind of direction for judges to hold those who can be a danger to others, whether they are repeated arsonists, stalkers, domestic or child abusers or have stacks of DWI arrests. Republicans and Democrats need to take things a step further and review the more-than 400 offenses — most misdemeanors and some felonies — that enable one to be released before trial without paying bail. There are differences between acts such as gambling offenses, unauthorized use of a credit card and bribing a witness compared to the reckless assault of a child, committing a hate crime or vehicular manslaughter. Those who have had their mugshot taken time after time also should be treated with more scrutiny than a first-time offender. But Republican calls for a complete repeal do not help engage with what has long been a broken and lopsided system, that obviously benefits the rich above the poor. New York should look toward New Jersey, whose bail reform, enacted in 2017, was supported by none other than Republican Gov. Chris Christie. Even their rollout wasn’t completely clean but statistics have shown crime has gone down, and offenders are no more likely to skip out on court dates than they had been in previous years. The New York reform bill started on the right track, looking out for those who were unable to pay bail, but it needs closer scrutiny. A closer look is needed to give judges more leeway to keep those who are a danger to the public off the streets and, on the other side of the issue when it comes to deciding on a bail amount at arraignment, to take into consideration not a person’s flight risk but their income and severity of the alleged crime. It should be noted that taking a closer look at this law will take time and, while Election Day 2020 is looming in the background, decisions on such a bill where lives are at stake shouldn’t be rushed to appease some voters.
I am incredibly honored to have been elected by my colleagues as president of the Suffolk County Highway Superintendents Association. This two-year term coincides with the start of my new four-year term of office as superintendent of highways for the Town of Brookhaven. The purpose of this organization is to promote the free exchange of ideas between members of our industry and, perhaps most importantly right now, advocate for state and federal infrastructure money on Long Island, specifically for Suffolk County. We are at a pivotal point in New York state. Our road system is in desperate need of additional funding to bolster the local investments made by our municipalities. With our chronically underfunded infrastructure, it is no coincidence that our state continues to lose population to other parts of the country. Brookhaven, Babylon and many other towns across Long Island have significantly increased our local share of funding for road work; it is high time for the state to do the same.
While the governor and state legislature seem to announce major projects for New York City and other parts of the state every year, Suffolk County and other suburban parts of the state are left fighting each year just to maintain funding levels that are far too low. Unfortunately, this year was no exception. In the governor’s State of the State address, he announced $6 billion in capital funding for an expansion of Penn Station and another $300 million to “reimagine” the Erie Canal. While every project proposed holds benefits, where are the transformational projects for Long Island, for Suffolk County, for the townships here fighting to keep pace with stagnated infrastructure funding? The latest press release from the governor’s office references the nation-leading infrastructure investment they are proposing. This funding, statewide, does not even equal resurfacing the total lane miles of road in the Town of Brookhaven. We all know that high profile projects make for good headlines. A new bridge, a new train station or a rebuilt airport all serve
the needs of a large portion of the population, that much is obvious. What is lost in the glitz and glamour of those ventures is that the residents who use them still have to traverse woefully underfunded local infrastructure to get to these new facilities. The mechanism by which aid is distributed to municipalities by New York State is called the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (known as CHIPS). The base allocation stands at $483 million statewide and has not been adjusted — for inflation or otherwise — in many years. I am calling on the governor and state Legislature to, at minimum, double this allocation to provide local departments of public works the funding we so desperately need to improve local roads. For years my colleagues and I have been advocating for exactly this. The time is now for our representatives to deliver for Long Island. Daniel Losquadro (R) Town of Brookhaven Highway Superintendent

Statistics for Youth E-cigarette Use
For over a year, health advocates have been talking about the youth e-cigarette epidemic. In January, the American Lung Association’s State of Tobacco Control 2020 report not only confirmed it but expressed that it is getting worse, with a staggering 135 percent increase in high school e-cigarette use in just the past two years. The facts only get more frightening. The percentage of high school e-cigarette users nationwide who reported using mint and menthol flavors is alarming in itself — having increased to 63.9 percent in 2019, from 42.3 percent
in 2017 and 51.2 percent in 2018. A new article in the American Journal of Public Health details how e-cigarettes have grown more powerful and dangerous since 2013 and refutes claims around safety. Adults are not the primary users of e-cigarettes as 3.8 percent of adults are vaping compared to 27 percent of youth. E-cigarettes are not approved cessation devices. In New York state, smoking still kills more than 28,000 New Yorkers annually, and it costs the state $10.3 billion annually. Approximately one in four New York
students is using some form of tobacco, often citing minty flavor options as a contributing factor. Our Huntington community is not immune to this emergency. As parents, educators and community stakeholders, we must all play a role in keeping our children safe. We must understand the facts and educate our kids, or we will simply set them up to become the next generation hooked on tobacco, continuing the cycle of tobacco addiction and the diseases that come with it.

Recognizing the Stresses Beyond Our Control
S
he could feel the tension mounting. She had been down this road, or, more specifically, on this runway, numerous times before. Flying didn’t bother her. She had taken many flights before she met her husband. Since they’d been married, they had also taken trips each year. That’s when the trouble started. He didn’t blame her, D. None but as someone who of the above shared his feelings and wanted to help BY DANIEL DUNAIEF him when she could, she often felt at a loss as this moment approached. She looked at the stranger next to her, eager to encourage a new person to enter the
dialogue and distract him from his frustration. At first, the stranger didn’t engage in conversation, preferring to read his book and to look through the movie offerings on his phone. The ride around the airport took a while, as the plane stopped a few times to let other flights land. Unable to break the ice with the man on the other side of her, she turned to her husband and hoped the game they’d developed might help. “Hey,” she said, “how long do you think it’ll take this time?” He grumbled something between his gritted teeth. “Well,” she said, not bothering to ask him to repeat himself when she felt that the words were less relevant than the angry emotion that built up inside of him. “I’m going with eight.” “Eight?” he spit back at her incredulously. “No way! It’s going to be at least 12.” When the plane stopped and the Jetway came out to meet it, the man started his
stopwatch, holding it up so she could see. After three minutes, the passenger on her other side, who had heard the abbreviated conversation and could feel the tension rising between them as the man glared, unblinking, at the front of the plane and all the passengers between him and the next step on his trip, decided to break the frustrated silence in their row. “Are you guys guessing how long it’ll be before you get off the plane?” he asked. “Yes,” she sighed, grateful for the relief from watching and taking care of her husband. A flight attendant made an announcement. “Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, we’re waiting for a gate attendant to fix the lock on the other side. It should only be a few minutes,” she said. The man near the window shook his head. The woman shrugged at what she hoped was her new ally. “Well, we’ll just start now,” she offered, as she set her own stopwatch on her phone and encouraged him to follow the new timing.
“You see,” she said, “he gets angry when people aren’t ready to go after the plane lands.” He turned away from the front of the plane long enough to explain himself to the stranger near the aisle. “They turn off the seatbelt sign and people don’t get their luggage,” he snarled, gesturing with his palm at all the offending passengers between the door to the rest of his travels and the seat that barely contained his irritation. “Look at them, sitting there. It’s going to take each of them a while to get off. They have to find their bags, pull them out and get off the plane.” The stranger offered the weary wife a supportive look. She appreciated the gesture, even as she made sure all her items were ready to go. “These things are beyond your control,” the stranger offered. “That’s true, but it still bothers him,” she sighed as she held her bags tightly in her hand.
overheard saying that they didn’t want to get married or to have children were dismissed as simply being odd. Looking back on it now, it took courage to make either declaration in most of the 20th century. Welcome to the 21st century, where marriage is considered something of a quaint option. Living together? How romantic! Been together 10 years? You must like each other. Have two children together? How nice. No one thinks to call them by a derogatory name. There is no shame in their unmarried parental state. Oh, decided to marry after these many years? Lovely. Your younger daughter can be the flower girl, your son the ring bearer. In fact, according to the NYT article written by Hilary Sheinbaum, we’ve gone even further from the centuries’ old norm. Many women are opting out of relationships and finding they prefer to be single, is the latest word on the subject. “Instead of moping over singledom or aggressively trying to find partners with arbitrary deadlines in mind, they are declaring to be happily unmarried and proudly find solace in living solo,” she said. This is despite the many dating apps, matchmakers
and sometimes astonishingly frank and graphic love advice out there in magazines, books or Google. And despite raging hormones. “When you’re not seeking partnership, you are in a very relaxed calm inner space and generally more comfortable with who you are,” said Carla Manly, a clinical psychologist who specializes in relationships and self-awareness and was quoted in the Times. “A lot of times in relationships, you need to make sacrifices. You don’t have any sacrifices to make when you are on your own. You make all the decisions,” said Genesis Games, another therapist. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as recently as 2016, 110.6 million U.S. residents at least 18 years old were unmarried. That is about one-third our population. Women made up 53.2 percent of that number. Many of them might agree with that sentiment. So, being the self-proclaimed expert on the subject, how do I feel? Yes, being in complete control of one’s own life, at least as far as relationships go, has its satisfactions. It makes for a wonderfully selfish existence. Best of all, however, is to have a choice.
A Rush into Marriage No More
T
his coming Monday my husband and I would have celebrated 57 years of marriage. Except we won’t because he died 32 years ago, just shy of our 25th anniversary. This means that I have been unmarried longer than I was a wife, which makes me something of an expert-of-one on the subject of marrying or being single. It also explains my riveted reading of “They’re More than Happy Not to Get Married,” in the Sunday Styles section of this past week’s New York Times. Say, what? First, we ought Between to consider how the you and me idea and institution of marriage BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF have incredibly changed over the last century. Indeed, we have lived through a
marriage revolution. I was 22 when I became a bride, considered young today. At the time, my mother told me just before the ceremony, as she was helping me get into my gown, that “I had just missed being an old maid.” After all, she was entitled to that perspective since she married in 1925 at 17. There was never any question that I would marry. Pretty much all of us in my class expected to marry shortly after graduation. The only question was whom we would marry, and the answer was usually whoever we had been dating — usually chastely — for the preceding couple of years. And we certainly wanted to have our children before we turned 30 and, as women, our reproductive prospects began to dim. One close friend even married before senior year ended and was already pregnant as she crossed the stage to receive her diploma from the college president. It was the same expectation for men. My husband-to-be was in his last year of medical school. Yup, time to get married. We followed the script, set down by our respective parents and society. The one or two people we
