Smithtown school board votes to sell New York Ave. property

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Smithtown school district’s headquarters on New York Avenue, which currently houses administrative offices, could soon become an apartment building.

The Smithtown school board voted at the Oct. 25 meeting to approve entering a contract with Southern Land Company, for the sale of the property and the surrounding land.

Smithtown Superintendent Jim Grossane said in a letter to residents he believes this is a positive decision for the community.

“The board of education and administration believe that the proposed use of the property is one that would benefit our school community,” he said. “If finalized, the sale will potentially expand our tax base, lowering the burden on our residents, and provide additional resources to enhance our educational programs.”

According to Grossane, Southern Land Company is planning on building one- and two-bedroom apartments that will be “in keeping with the architectural style of Smithtown.”

“Though still in the early stages of the contract, if finalized, the district would receive the greater of $71,000 per approved unit or $14,768,000 for the sale of the building,” Grossane said. The superintendent added that the contract has a 75-day

Jena Armistead, vice president of marketing for Southern Land Company, said the organization is very excited to start working with the community.

“We are proud to be selected by Smith-

town school board to be the developer for a new residential community in the neighborhood,” she said in an email. “Having been selected in the competitive process, we will now turn to working with the community to develop an overall plan.

In the coming weeks we look forward to

engaging neighbors and town leaders in an open dialogue that will make an important contribution to the vision, design program and schedule for this project.”

Armistead said the plan is tentatively for the building to have about 250 apartments, although the company does not want to finalize a plan until after they have had discussions with the Smithtown community.

“We want to create something that will benefit the community,” she said in a phone interview.

The New York Avenue property is the site of the Arthur House, a historic home once owned by John Arthur, a prominent member of Smithtown in the mid-1700s.

But Smithtown Supervisor Pat Vecchio said the plan requires zoning changes and the school board should not get ahead of

Nurses picket at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown in search of a new contract in April, which was finally agreed upon this week.

ratification by NYSNA members at our hospital,” St. Catherine’s Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Paul J. Rowland said in a statement.

The more than a year-and-a-half negotiating session featured pickets at both hospitals, with nurses frustrated by inadequate staffing, and seeking better health benefits and a pay increase in their next contract.

“All of these issues affect retention and recruitment,” Tammy Miller, a nurse at St. Catherine of Siena, said in a statement in October. “Keeping and attracting experienced nurses are essential to quality care.”

Dawn Bailey, a registered nurse and labor bargaining unit executive committee member of NYSNA, said during a picket outside the Smithtown medical center in April that working a shift without adequate staff can be dangerous not only for patients, but for nurses as well.

“You can’t have two people lifting a patient all the time, because there’s not that other person available,” Bailey said. “When people are going out with back injuries, then [members of hospital administration] wonder why.”

Patients and staff at two North Shore hospitals can rest easy.

After about 18-months of negotiations, the New York State Nurses Association and hospital administrations from St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown and St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson reached a tentative agreement for a new contract to avoid a work stoppage this week.

The nurses had not ratified the agreement by the time of publication, though a vote was expected in the evening Nov. 9, according to Tracy Kosciuk, a St. Charles nurse who has been with the hospital for nearly three decades and serves as the president of the union’s executive committee for St. Charles. Kosciuk said the tentative agreement was reached in part thanks to a “marathon” negotiating session that spanned from the afternoon of Nov. 4 until about 9 a.m. Nov. 5. Nurses at both hospitals, who are among about 40,000 in New York State represented by NYSNA, have been working without a contract since March 2015, and had voted to authorize the union to give notice of a strike in October, though that never manifested.

Kosciuk elected not to detail specifics of the tentative agreement until it had been ratified.

“I’m happy with what we were able to retain in regards to nurse-patient ratio with the intensive care unit,” she said in a phone interview. “I’m happy we were able to retain health insurance for nurses with no changes.”

Administration members from both hospitals were also glad to avoid a work stoppage.

“We are pleased to have reached a fair settlement and I’d like to commend both bargaining teams who worked very hard to reach this agreement,” Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at St. Charles James O’Connor said in a statement. “St. Charles Hospital is proud of our professional nursing staff and the high quality of care they provide to the members of our community.”

Leadership from St. Catherine of Siena MC expressed a similar sentiment.

PersPectives

Journalists’ work will be cut out for them going forward One thing that cannot be forgotten in the aftermath of one of the most remarkable and shocking nights in American history is how we were failed by our fourth estate. Polls and projections, save a few here and there, for months gave Donald Trump little to no chance of securing the presidency Nov. 8.

This is not because of a slant or bias in polling data but in a complete lack of awareness for a ground swell of sentiment that was made very clear once actual numbers started pouring in on election night, rendering the theoretical data we’d seen for months obsolete. Donald Trump’s shocking victory was not a product of media bias but of a total media ignorance for what can now be classified as a majority of the country’s feelings when it came time to pull a lever or fill in a circle.

This is not to say the media should have given credence to the percentage of voters who cast their ballots Tuesday with less than the purest of intentions, but instead to the political pundits like Corey Lewan-

dowski and Sean Hannity who for weeks used their platforms to warn of a silent vote lurking, waiting to finally make their voices heard when the time was right.

What it should do is light a fire under the people now tasked with covering an administration and constituency that believes in opening up libel laws — making frequent lawsuits against journalists far more likely — and has repeatedly accused the media of trying to rig our most sacred freedom as Americans in favor of the other candidate.

Our work as journalists will never be more difficult, less appreciated or more important than it will be in the next four years. We need to fundamentally change the way the job is perceived and defined by the millions of voters who selected Trump, no matter how difficult that task may be, or how wrong we may believe they are. Unfortunately, perception is reality. I shudder to think that perhaps a chunk of voters decided to stay home Tuesday because polling numbers suggested the race was over weeks ago.

A large part of our job as journalists is covering the town, village and school board meetings that tend to have a more immediate impact on everyday life than federal politics. They are woefully vacant in most cases and admittedly covered in lackluster fashion. That falls at the feet of the media and the public. The lesson that should be gleaned across the board from this election cycle is that apathy and ignorance are not acceptable excuses.

And for those who believe there was a media conspiracy against your candidate, who simultaneously fight tooth and nail for the sanctity of the Second Amendment, don’t forget about the importance of the First Amendment. It’s what allowed pockets of Trump supporters in corners of the nation to spew their passions free of persecution, and that’s the way it should be. Images of a T-shirt worn at a Trump rally made the rounds this week. It read across the back “Rope. Tree. Journalist.

Some assembly required.” Don’t forget, the same laws protect journalists, and there

Americans must stand as allies for those now feeling alienated

BY victoriA esPinozA victoria@tbrnewspapers.com

I can for these communities. It took this dark of a cloud for me to see the light and promise to support like I never have before.

Voting against him clearly was not enough. Crying out and insulting the people who did vote for him isn’t either.

America has been called the great experiment. My God, does that feel accurate today more than ever. We need to keep this experiment moving in the right direction with inclusiveness. This is our country; we do not stop calling ourselves American because we disagree with our new leader.

That’s when we lose.

Those, like me, who feel despair after last night’s results can still win. Not can — we must. It has never been more crucial to stand up for those who have felt oppressed during this election cycle. If we don’t lend our voice to those who feel

voiceless, then we are truly going backwards in this country.

Every American has the right to choose their presidential candidate. Almost every point of view is understandable from a certain angle, once you put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

Now put yourself in the shoes of the communities today who are terrified of a Trump administration. They are just as American as those who voted for him.

They voted differently, but they accept the results and the new leader of this country.

And the rest of the country damn well better do the same for them, as an American.

With liberty and justice for all — not just pretty words, but a founding principle.

Our turn

Today I woke up with a stronger determination than ever to be an ally. An ally to the LGBTQ community, to the Black Lives Matter community, to the Muslim community, the Hispanic community and every other community that woke up this morning feeling scared of the future.

I had gay friends and relatives reach out to me last night as the results were becoming clearer, wondering if they’ll still be able to get married, to adopt children, to feel equal. They need to know they still have support behind them.

As much as those fears made me want to cry and shut down, the feeling of making sure they knew I was on their side and ready to fight for them was stronger.

But then came the embarrassment.

It is unacceptable to me that it took Donald Trump becoming president to feel this strongly about being the loudest ally

In February, the school board made the controversial decision to close Branch Brook Elementary School due to a lack of enrollment and shrinking district revenue, and some residents pleaded then that the district should work on selling the administrative building on New York Avenue instead of closing a building used for instruction.

Trustee Gladys Waldron was the lone “no” vote on the decision and her reasoning was the same as many community members.

“I think our energies and effort of administration and board should be placed right now on the selling of this building,” Waldron said at that meeting.

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com North Shore residents woke up after Tuesday night’s election results feeling scared and nervous, while others felt relieved.

Randee Silberfeld, Mount Sinai

I’m really disappointed. Really surprised.

Embarrassed for our country. I feel like one half of the population doesn’t care much about the second half, and I just hope it plays out and works out better than we expect.

But I’m surprised. As the night went on, it seemed really obvious. I got calls from my kids from college and they were really upset and they didn’t understand it. I think a lot of young people don’t understand how somebody like that could be elected president today. I hope that he brings everybody together and that there’s not a big divide. He has no experience whatsoever, so I’d be curious what he does for our country by way of how he … represents us. I don’t believe he’s going to be any different, but I hope he surrounds himself with good people that are fair-minded. We’ve made a lot of progress in the last 30-40 years and I think [the Supreme Court] is going to turn back the clock on some of that. On the other hand, having the full Republican Congress and executive branch, they have every opportunity to do good. They have no excuses not to achieve their goals. They can’t blame it on anyone else.

Fred Stahman, Miller Place

I’m happy about the results. I voted for Trump. I believe in a lot of the things he says. I’ve always thought the county needed to be run by a businessman, not a bunch of lawyers, and I think he’s going to stick to what he says.

Obviously the American people are happy with what he’s said; they all made the same decision I did. I stayed up until 3:30 in the morning waiting to get an answer. I went to bed pretty pleased. I didn’t believe the polls all along. I really thought he had a lot of people that were in the background who were going to vote for him who didn’t want to come out and say they were going to vote for him … I think he’ll create jobs.

I’m for immigration. I think they should let as many people in as possible, but legally.

I am surprised but not completely. I’m hopeful for this country. I’d like to think that he [Trump] will attempt to stick with his promises, and I hope he surrounds himself with extraordinary people that will keep him on track.

Reign him in a little bit when he becomes “Donald Trump.” I do wish him all the best.

I hope that everyone can unite behind him because we’re all in this roller coaster ride together. He wasn’t necessarily my candidate of choice. I had hopes that we would see history in the making, for the women’s movement, but I wish him all the best.

Graham Como, Smithtown I woke up upset. I really like Hillary. I was a Bernie supporter, Hillary supporter. I’m an environmental science major, so climate change is real and to have a candidate deny science, deny people fair civil liberties and … the fact that human rights is up for grabs right now … The amount of friends that I have are gay, their rights are on the line.

Why is this even a question why it matters who someone loves or what gender they identify with. It is repulsive to me, and I’m honestly having a hard time finding hope right now. The only thing I can say as a positive outlook is that this is just setting up for a bigger comeback.

He’s probably going to be a one-term president, and this just gives us a chance to come back and unite. I think there’s going to be a lot of people who are going to be really bothered by this, and they’re going to come back and it’s going to swing, like it always does. I was raised with the real ideals of feminism that it’s equal rights regardless of their religion, color of skin, gender, and I think that it’s ridiculous that it’s going to be 2017 and we’re still debating these kinds of things. It’s disgusting.

Dejohn Hall, Bay Shore

We’re doomed.

A businessman shouldn’t be able to run a country.

He has no political background at all. As the night grew longer, I got kind of scared for Hillary, and I had a feeling he was going to win. I’m a little bit scared. I got some family in the armed forces so I’m a little worried and scared for them. He [Trump] makes some good points, but a lot of things he says — he contradicts himself, he’s a walking contradiction. Pick one thing and stick to it.

Long Islanders react after Trump’s election night win

above, the growth long Island could see in renewable energy resources if the project is approved. Below, how the wind and solar energy would make its way to long Island.

Largest renewable energy project awaits approval

By ReBecca anzel The largest renewable energy project ever proposed for Long Island has near unanimous support Clean Energy Link, introduced by Chicagobased private energy developer Invenergy, LLC, would produce 701 megawatts across 55,671 acres — about the size of Long Island’s North Fork.

Four wind farms and two solar farms would be privately funded and built in rural areas in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina, and the power generated would be transferred to a substation in central New Jersey and converted from AC to DC. Then, it would be shipped 80 miles underground and underwater by a transmission line and connect to the Long Island Power Authority’s grid at a 3.5-acre facility on Ruland Road in Melville.

A spokeswoman from Invenergy said the company submitted a proposal to LIPA, and is hoping it will be granted a contract. It is unclear how much money LIPA is willing to pay for the electricity Clean Energy Link will generate, but if the power authority approves the project, it is expected to be operational by the end of 2020.

“I’ve been in this business since 2003 and this is probably one of the most, if not the most exciting project we’ve done,” Mike Polsky, Invenergy’s CEO, said at a press conference on Oct. 24. “It’s a very remarkable, bold and transformational step for New York State, and despite some naysayers, whatever they may say, it will happen.”

Clean Energy Link is a step toward achieving a mandate set by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in August that 50 percent of New York’s electricity needs to come from renewable energy sources by the year 2030. The first checkpoint

is a requirement that utilities need to purchase energy from nuclear power plants in the state

by April 2017 in an effort to prevent the facilities from closing.

“New York has taken bold action to become a national leader in the clean energy economy and is taking concrete, cost-effective steps today to safeguard this state’s environment for decades to come,” Cuomo said in a press release. “This Clean Energy Standard shows you can generate the power necessary for supporting the modern economy while combating climate change.”

According to Invenergy, about 9.5 million megawatt hours per year need to be produced by renewable energy sources statewide by 2030, and the Clean Energy Link project would produce about 1.6 megawatt hours per year.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said because Nassau and Suffolk counties have about 3 million residents, it is a “notoriously very difficult place” to build anything. He expressed his support of the renewable energy project at a press conference in part, he said, because Long Island has experienced extreme weather and other impacts from increased carbon dioxide emissions.

“We have to be leaders on this issue — Long Island has to be out front,” he said. “...

Part of that leadership means identifying

what makes sense and maximizing the potential of the things that make sense. We are more at threat from climate change than just about any other region in the country.”

Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R-Huntington Station) said the most important aspect of the project must be its affordability for residents. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, New York had the seventh highest electricity prices in the country in 2015.

“Hopefully residents will see cost savings on their energy bills,” Lupinacci said. “We are always looking to cut energy costs for the middle class and businesses to make it more palatable.”

Lupinacci added that although the bulk of the Clean Energy Link infrastructure would not be constructed on Long Island, the project also would not create any local jobs. He said he would like to see a way for Long Island’s economy to directly benefit from renewable energy, whether through power production or manufacturing of infrastructure, at some point in the future.

Long Island has the expertise to produce solar panels, Assemblyman Andy Raia (R-East Northport) said, and they should be installed on rooftops across the Island.

“I’m all about clean energy and if it were up to me, we would have solar panel arrays on every public building out there,” he said. “If it’s

profitable enough for companies to rent people’s roofs, it’s beneficial for consumers, too.”

While he supports the project proposal, Raia said local government should also consider repowering the Northport Power Plant. If technology upgrades were made to the facility, he said there would be no need to bring electricity to Long Island because the plant would be a major producer of local power.

State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) said he’s opposed Invenergy’s other project on Long Island — a 24.9 megawatt solar farm in Shoreham on the former Tallgrass Golf Course. It was approved by LIPA in May and is supported by other Brookhaven officials, who recently passed changes to the solar code prohibiting trees from being cut down for the construction of solar arrays.

“I don’t like the idea of solar farms on Long Island that impinge upon or displace green space,” Englebright said.

He added that transporting the power the Clean Energy Link project would provide underground is smart, because it would not be subject to disruptions due to weather.

“LIPA would be wise to move in the direction that this offers, which is the renewable direction,” Englebright said. “We’re an oceanic island, and putting more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere ultimately drowns us.”

Pine Barrens Society Executive Director Dick Amper agreed that community support is imperative for the success of the project.

“If the people who produce solar cut down forests for it, or put it in residential neighborhoods or replace farms that produce food for it, the public is going to turn against solar,” he said. “It took 25 years for everybody to come along and agree we need renewables. They’re not going to like them if we put it in bad places, and we can’t afford to have the backlash because we need solar.”

East makes it to finals after sweep of Ward Melville

By Bill landon

Smithtown E. 3 Ward Melville 0

and not harp on the little mistakes,” Anderson said. “Steph Berdon really stepped it up — who is our middle — and Brooke Berroyer, she played well and that helped us out.”

Ward Melville began making mental errors — sending a service out of bounds and dropping two balls, which prompted Ward Melville head coach Charlie Fernandes to call timeout.

“We’ve been chasing ourselves in terms of unforced errors all season long, but in the past two playoff games, they really cut down [on these],” Fernandes said. “I think tonight we were a little nervous and a little jumpy.”

Seizing the opportunity, the Bulls surged ahead 20-11 before an unforced error. Ward Melville wouldn’t score again though, and Smithtown East tallied the final five points to put the set away.

Smithtown East head coach George Alamia said he was surprised following the first two sets, knowing what Ward Melville has been able to accomplish on the court.

points to knot the score at 18-18. Again, it was back and forth as the Bulls scored the next three points, only to have the Patriots answer with three of their own to retie the game at 2121. After a service error, Ward Melville scored next to retie the game at 22-22 and followed it up with a kill shot to edge ahead 23-22.

Berroyer, from the service line, led the Bulls to the tying point, and on the next serve, helped her team to a 24-23 advantage. Serving again for the go-ahead score, the Bulls made it 24-23. Berroyer, like she’d done in each of the three sets, scored the final point for her team.

“We have a shot to win the county [championship] against probably the best team in the state — Connetquot,” Alamia said. “We’re going to go there, give our best shot and I think we’ll be all right.”

The Smithtown East girls’ volleyball team is peaking at the right time.

The team took care of business in the Class AA semifinals Nov. 7, avenging a semifinal loss to Ward Melville last season.

The No. 2 Bulls came away victorious at home in straight sets this time around against the No. 3 Patriots, 25-20, 25-12 and 25-23, to advance to the finals. The team will take on No. 1 Connetquot at Suffolk County Community College’s Brentwood campus Nov. 10 at 8 p.m.

“I thought we were pretty consistent with our serving, and I just knew we could get it together,” said Smithtown East junior outside hitter Morgan Catalonatto. “Now we’ll just continue do what we’ve been doing all season long.”

After a 5-5 tie in the opening set, the Bulls put together a string of service points. Couple that with crowd-gasping defense, and the team jumped out to a 24-19 advantage. Serving break point was junior setter Brooke Berroyer, who led her team to victory with 28 assists.

Ward Melville lost to the Bulls Oct. 18 in five sets, but the semifinal matchup was different.

The Bulls were everywhere on the court — high above the net, flat on the floor — and dig after dig, Smithtown East savored its advantage. Senior outside hitter and co-captain Haley Anderson went on a service tare and rattled off seven unanswered points to put her team out front 12-5 in the second set.

A threat in any row, Anderson also tallied 14 kills and 14 digs in the contest.

“As a team we needed to keep our composure, focus on each point, one point at a time,

“I knew that the third set was going to be the toughest game — that’s an unbelievable program over there,” he said. “We followed their lead when I first started this program in 2005. It’s like the Patriots in the NFL, [but in volleyball], it’s the Ward Melville Patriots you follow. [You follow] a winning team, one that’s won a lot of championships, and I have tremendous respect for Charlie Fernandes.”

Momentum began to shift midway through the third set when the Patriots, who trailed from the opening volley, clawed their way back to draw within a point, 13-12. The team wasn’t going to go down without a fight.

Ward Melville’s senior outside hitter Lara Atalay dished up a service kill to tie the game at 13-13, and scored again to give Ward Melville its first lead in the set. Both teams traded

An immigrant’s reaction to the presidential results Stock Photo

Coming together Well, that was a wild ride.

But now it’s over.

As the sun rises on a new day in America and the dust settles, President-elect Donald J. Trump can bask in the knowledge that, in an election that was not rigged, he won.

We are reminded of “The Candidate” — the character Bill McKay, played by Robert Redford in the 1972 film of the same name — who wonders aloud after his extraordinary and unexpected win: “What do we do now?”

President-elect Trump was chosen by a majority of Americans in a Brexit-type upset, but he will serve as the president of all Americans. He is now tasked with healing the wounds and bringing the country together.

He promised to call upon the best people to advise him and we hope he will do that. Some of the best people may be found on the other side of the aisle. We hope his strikingly unconventional victory will yield a unique governing style that will unify a disparate Congress and enable the business of government to proceed without impediment.

We hope he will ascend to the presidency demonstrating the demeanor the job requires now that he no longer has to prove that he is an outsider and a rebel, and that he will make decisions in a measured and thoughtful way.

And we’d love to see a flamboyant demonstration of his out-ofthe-box thinking that will serve as a unifying symbol to all Americans. Perhaps the nomination of a noted constitutional scholar to the Supreme Court? Barack Obama will be available when he exits the Oval Office.

In the meantime, the most important job for the legacy of President Obama still lies ahead. He is now tasked with convincing the 55 percent of Americans who make up his current approval rating that, for better or worse, we must come together. As he has done consistently for eight years, we expect he will lead by example and with grace.

Reflecting on last night’s election results made me realize that despite living in this country for over four decades, I don’t feel at home. When my family moved here from Colombia looking for a better future we endured many hardships, but I believe by most accounts we have been successful. However, being an immigrant, I am still puzzled over how I feel about belonging to a place that I can call home, while haven’t really felt very patriotic while here, or even at home in my youth when I lived in the country where I was born.

I am not doubtful about my commitment to my family and to my profession, which entails doing what I can to make the

country a better place through education, but I don’t understand what those folks who apparently voted for change want.

Was the choice they made the only sensible one?

I take pride in the exercise of my right as a citizen to vote and in encouraging my children to exercise their civic right and duty to vote, as we did last night.

However, I have this nagging sensation that being a successful immigrant and not feeling animosity toward those who are better off, while at the same time trying to sympathize with those who are less fortunate, makes me an oddity. I feel a dilemma between giving up what makes one culturally and ethnically

unique and assimilating perspectives needed to become part of the mainstream culture of the country one has chosen to live in.

Yet those traditional values from my country of birth must be kept to retain an identity when one doesn’t feel at home.

I guess the best perspective is to continue to regard myself as a work in progress, despite the uncertainty in how to react when trying to make sense of the behavior of people, which I believe, is based more on their feelings than on reason.

A plea for better protection of children against sex offenders No parent is happy if a registered sex offender moves next door. But most parents don’t realize they are much more likely to have an unregistered sex offender living next door.

Child sexual abuse is so devastating it takes survivors, on average, 21 years to talk about it. And New York State’s statute of limitations bars most of them from justice on their 23rd birthday. This is largely responsible for the fact that 90 percent of sex offenders never see a day behind bars, and for the sad fact that 20 percent of New York’s children can expect to be sexually abused.

On Nov. 3, Republican state Sen. John Flanagan told TBR News Media, “We have statute of limitations for very cogent reasons and no matter how emotional a subject may be, witness availability, evidence, all those things have a salutary effect in terms of what happens.” He’s

right. It is harder to prosecute old crimes than new ones. But we recognize that unprosecuted murders represent not only a grave injustice, but a major threat to society. So we have no statute of limitation on murder.

Child sexual abuse, which causes its victims permanent physical, mental, emotional and financial harm throughout their lives, should be treated the same way.

Flanagan seems to have forgotten the fundamental principle of the American court system: All defendants are innocent until proven guilty, even in civil court where the burden of proof is lower. The same rape culture and victim blaming that we see when victims of celebrities come forward is apparent in full force when adult victims of child sexual abuse come forward. But in other states that passed the Child Victims Act there was no chaos and clogged courts. Institutions did not go bankrupt en masse.

But survivors who were abused long ago got their day in court, and hundreds of previously unknown abusers were publicly identified.

Flanagan has forgotten that our children are our future.

When a single piece of legislation can do so much to protect so many from sexual abuse, there is no excuse for inaction.

Flanagan has committed himself to inaction on this bill, and that is why the Fighting for Children PAC donated the legal maximum to Peter Magistrale, Flanagan’s Democratic challenger for the New York State Senate’s 2nd District seat, who pledged to support New York’s children.

opinion Passing the peer-pressure character test

T

he other day, my teenage son had a choice. No, he can’t vote and no, he wasn’t ordering a sandwich at a diner with an 18-page menu. He was with some friends who decided they wanted to get a better view of the street and, presumably, their peers who were walking below during a warm fall day.

They headed for the roof of a building, where a Private Property No Trespassing sign awaited them. They ignored the sign.

When my son

By Daniel Dunaief hesitated, they signaled for him to join them.

“Oh, come on, you’re not going to be like Joey,” they said in a complaining tone. I don’t know who

D. None of the above

Joey is, but when I heard the story I instantly wanted my son to meet him and hang out with him.“No,” he replied, “but I’m not going up there.”

What stopped him? Why didn’t he do whatever he wanted to do or, equally importantly, whatever his friends wanted? The other boys clearly expected him to fall in line, just the way our friends, our parents’ friends and our grandparents’ friends expected us and our ancestors to fall in line, too.

We send our kids to school every day to learn about differential equations, the American Revolution, the powerful prose of Ernest Hemingway and the anatomy of frogs and people, but somewhere along the lines, they have to learn to develop a set of values.

That can come from a dedicated teacher, who takes time out from a demanding schedule to teach a broader life lesson about the difficulty of making the “right” choice. It can come from a coach, a principal, a neighbor, a parent, a grandparent or

The morning after

N

ow we know. After what seemed like an interminable presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump is to be our next president. For those who are ardent Hillary supporters, it was a stunner. Even for some of the Trump supporters, there was palpable surprise. Most shocked of all, of course, were the pollsters, who were almost all in agreement in predicting a Clinton victory.

Perhaps that

By Leah S. Dunaief teaches a lesson: When almost everyone agrees on the unknowable, beware.

Some of us stayed up long enough to learn the outcome of the race. Some, including me, woke up in the middle of the night to check on the results and were able to catch some part of Trump’s acceptance speech, which was gracious.

Between you and me

And the remainder woke up to the news this morning. Regardless of the time we learned the outcome, and no matter who we cheered for, the reaction was a strong one: Trump is our president-elect.

Snatches of thoughts run through the mind, and they present themselves in no particular order. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a thin margin. She and all those who believe were, on the one hand, affirmed. So we might conclude that she was defeated by the rules of the game. Now this is another reversal of what was predicted. There was talk that if Trump won the popular vote but lost the presidency, that his followers would take to the streets and there would be a revolution or at least some violence. Instead Trump lost the popular vote, said he “loves this country,” and Hillary is left as the popular choice but the Electoral College’s loser. So be it. That’s the way the rules are set and both parties played by them. What’s the point?

The point is that vote represents the decision of the American people.

Is Hillary going to advocate revolution? It is a bit early, but I sincerely

anyone who goes out of his or her way to make sure that our children don’t lose theirs.

I understand that this moment isn’t the biggest challenge my son will face.

Undoubtedly, someone will come up with an idea, a suggestion or a dare he feels pressure to do.

These small moments, however, lead to the bigger ones. It is the slippery slope argument. If doing something that might be a little wrong doesn’t cause problems or have any consequence, maybe doing something larger that might not be exactly right is also just fine because no one noticed or he didn’t get caught. Or, the argument that frustrates me the most, someone else did something worse, so this isn’t such a poor decision.

We all have those difficult moments, when someone whose company we enjoy encourages us to do something that might not be in our best short- or long-term interests and when, for whatever reason, that friend insists we participate to demonstrate

our friendship. This is the moment when peer pressure threatens to silence the little voice in our heads that says, “This is probably a bad idea.”

We hear so many times about people who either don’t have that little voice or who have so effectively silenced it that the rules of our country don’t apply. They live with a freedom that they find exhilarating, until they get caught.

We are painfully aware of the destruction people who tumbled down that slippery slope create for themselves and society, through difficult and self-destructive habits.

There are so many other children who, thanks to the effort of the village of supporters around them who point to a true north, develop both selfcontrol and self-confidence that allow them to say, “I’m not going to do that.”

Through any age, one of the hardest words for us to say, when those around us encourage us to join them in treading on someone else’s property or rights, is “No!”

doubt it. I also truly doubted it had the outcome of the race been reversed. That’s the marvel of our democratic system. The winner wins, while the loser and the loser’s followers accept the results and fall into line behind the winner — with congratulations and prayers, if not a happy heart. There is a peaceful transition of power. That’s the other cardinal rule of our system.

Did Hillary lose because men hate to see women in positions of power? Certainly there are men who swore they would never vote for a woman leader. But that is a regressive and silly oath, as history in the past 100 years has already shown. There have been and will be strong women leaders around the world, and they have been and will be encouraged by the majority of men and women around them. Just look at how many men have been the champions of women, starting with President Barack Obama. Talent, intelligence and leadership are not gender specific.

So what, then, is the message from this election 2016? There are probably many messages. Some people,

who voted for what they saw as change, are angry that they have lost their good jobs in industries that are fading in importance with little or no recourse to another. Some resent what they view as unseemly differences in pay between those at the top and those at the bottom of the pay scale. Some are upset that the cost of “Obamacare” health coverage will be rising significantly in the next year.

Then there are all sorts of ‘isms” that still plague us: racism, sexism, agism, bigotries of all kinds. For sure, those angry people are most upset because they perceive that the leaders of our society do not hear them. Trump promised to hear them and to help them — all of them. We wish him strength, even as we know government cannot fix everything. This was a vote for change, even if only from Democratic to Republican leadership.

It’s the morning after and here we are, willingly or not, back together behind one president. May God bless America, the politicians beg. But God, the bible tells us, helps those who help themselves. May we work together to make our lives, and thus our nation, a still better place to live.
