Donations of gently used winter apparel are being collected for needy Suffolk residents.

Winter coat donations sought Smithtown residents are being asked to double check their closets for gently used winter clothing that they have outgrown or are no longer using.

Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (RFort Salonga) is working with Smithtownbased SMM Advertising to hold a winter coat drive to benefit residents who are in need of warm clothing this season.

“As people prepare for the winter and clean out their closets or plan to give a new coat as a gift, it is important for all of

us to help our fellow neighbors who don’t have warm clothing by contributing to this worthwhile drive,” Trotta said.

New or gently used coats, jackets, sweaters, hats, gloves, mittens, scarves and blankets for infants, children and adults are being collected through Jan. 8, 2018 at Trotta’s office. Donations can be dropped off at 59 Landing Ave. in Smithtown from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Anyone with questions can contact Trotta’s office at 631-854-3900.

TOWN

Smithtown officials shut down shelter’s Facebook page

By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com The Town of Smithtown’s decision to shut down the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Facebook page is the latest controversy to bombard the already problem-plagued center.

Smithtown resident John Urbancik openly criticized town councilmembers’ decision to take down the shelter’s Facebook page earlier this month at the Nov. 7 town board meeting.

“Before you took down the page, you weren’t promoting the animals,” Urbancik said at the board meeting. “Put it back up and promote the animals. If you want the animals out of there, you need to promote them.”

Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo (R) said the site has been temporarily taken offline alleging that public commenters harrassed and cyberbullyed town employes by claimaint they had failed to provide adequate care for the shelter’s animals.

“It was destroying the self-esteem of the staff who work there every day,” she said.

“It’s been shattered with this negativity. It’s hurting our adoption success. It’s hurting the animals. It’s a few people who start these rumors that go all over about the shelter, but they aren’t thinking about the animals.”

Over the last two years, the Smithtown Animal Shelter has been plagued by a series of problems. Former director James Beatty resigned in May 2015, after more than 30 years running the shelter, following months of accusations by Smithtown residents of his animal neglect and cruelty. He was replaced by Rocky Point resident Sue Hansen, who was fired by the town in July 2017 on charges of incompetence and mismanagement which led to a deterioration of the animals’ living conditions.

Urbancik said in a telephone interview with TBR News Media Nov. 10 that the shutdown of the shelter’s Facebook page wasn’t over harassment or bullying, but rather a calculated effort to silence public outcry. He claimed the shelter’s dogs are being neglected, citing they are being left locked inside unclean kennels.

Urbancik has started several Facebook pages of his own to draw attention to his problems with operation of the shelter including “Smithtown Animal Shelter needs a director” with more than 700 followers and “Remove Public Safety from Smithtown Animal Shelter” with more than 70 followers as of time of this publication.

The Smithtown Animal Shelter Facebook page comments, Urbancik’s social media posts, along with others made by animal activists concerned over conditions at the Smithtown shelter, caught the attention of New Jersey resident George Speakman.

The self-professed dog lover traveled more than two and a half hours Nov. 12 after hearing rumors the shelters’ vet was operating without anesthesia and all dogs in the shelter would be euthanized by December.

“I saw the Facebook page before it went down; it was one of the main reasons I decided to travel up to New York to take a look — I wanted to see for myself,” Speakman said. “If it was the way it was described on Facebook, I would have sat outside that shelter and protested.”

Upon arriving, he said he met with the shelter’s veterinarian, Dr. Susan Zollo, and a kennel attendant.

“I told them about the stories I had heard, and for my own peace of mind, asked if I can look around and see the shelter,” he said. “She was more than happy to accommodate me.”

Speakman said he toured the facility and took a video recording of the kennels and dog park before deciding to adopt Dinah, a female bull terrier and corgi mix who has been a long-term resident of the shelter.

“I walked out of there with the impression that these people do nothing but love and care for these animals,” he said, saying he would highly recommend local residents visit themselves. “They bend over backwards for them.”

Smithtown resident Vicki Feuerstein, a volunteer of the shelter since it was under Beatty’s leadership, said there have been positive changes in recent months at the shelter with proactive leadership and the remaining staff responsible and dedicated to their jobs.

“You have the backbone to make it a really good shelter,” she said.

Feuerstein admitted there is still room for improvement as dogs are spending too much time in their kennels, largely due to a shortage of kennel staff.

“I would love to see more kennel staff, that really affects the life of the dogs,” she

said. “ Also, an animal behaviorist.”

Councilwoman Inzerillo admitted the town only has two full-time employees at the shelter, after recent efforts to clean house of troublesome employees. She said there have been conversations with supervisor-elect Ed Wehrheim (R) about hiring two additional kennel staff members once he takes office. In addition, Inzerillo said the town has started extensive renovations to improve the dated shelter.

“We are focusing on moving forward,” she said. “We can’t focus on the negativity. I encourage residents to go and visit the place.”

Town Legislators hope to thwart St. James land development

By Rita J. Egan rita@tbrnewspapers.com Local legislators are paying attention when it comes to the concerns of Stony Brook residents regarding the proposed development of a land parcel in St. James.

At a Nov. 10 press conference held on the steps of Smithtown Town Hall, it was announced that Suffolk County Legislators Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) and Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) introduced a bill in the Legislature asking the county to begin the process of purchasing more than 40 acres of property currently owned by Gyrodyne LLC. The first step is an appraisal of the land, which runs along Route 25A and borders Stony Brook Road and Mill Pond Road. The goal is

to preserve the open space, known locally as Flowerfield, while continuing to lease the few older buildings to small businesses and artists currently renting.

The announcement was made a few days before a public hearing regarding the Gyrodyne subdivision proposal at the Smithtown Town Planning Board’s Nov. 15 meeting. On Nov. 13, the bill was approved during the county Legislature’s Environment, Planning & Agriculture Committee meeting and will be voted on in the general meeting Nov. 21.

Cindy Smith, founder of the Greater Stony Brook Action Coalition, thanked Hahn, Trotta, state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) for their support. Smith founded the coalition after

155966

the Suffolk County Planning Commission approved the conceptual subdivision of the 62 acres of land owned by Gyrodyne at an Aug. 2 meeting. The proposed plan includes a 150-room hotel, two medical office buildings and two assisted living facilities. There is also the possibility of opening a street behind University Heights Drive that would lead to Stony Brook Road.

“We know already what it’s like when development is done and things happen in your backyard,” Smith said of why she was hosting the press conference. “All of a sudden there’s a tremendous amount of traffic.”

The Stony Brook resident said she doesn’t want to see the same thing occur in Smithtown, or see things get worse in her area. Due to increased traffic over the years from Stony Brook University and the Wireless Center, which borders the Gyrodyne property, she said residents along Stony Brook Road, where she lives, have witnessed 18-wheelers using the street, drivers littering and historical characteristics in the area disappearing. During rush hour, Smith said emergency vehicles have difficulty traveling down the street.

The coalition founder said no traffic studies or environmental assessments have been conducted by the county and there has been no estimate of the impact on the local infrastructure.

“We’re not against development,” Smith said. “We are for smart, sustainable development, and this isn’t sustainable in the area it happens to be in.”

Hahn, chairwoman of the Environment, Planning & Agriculture Committee, said if the land is developed it could harm local bays and waterways, and agreed it would overburden local roads and increase the dangers of traveling in the area. The hazards of 25A and Stony Brook Road are something she is acutely aware of after being involved in a head-on collision at the intersection in April 2001.

“This is not the proper use of this parcel, and we would like to see it preserved,” Hahn said, adding that she asked Trotta if she could take the lead on the bill because she felt it was critical to her district.

Trotta said he is not entirely against future development on the Flowerfield site, but he believes a better balance needs to be struck with preserving open space and Gyrodyne’s proposal.

“If the county has money and is a willing participant, then we can buy some of it and buy enough to limit what’s built there,” he said. “Some sort of development with lots of land preservation would be a good thing that the community could live with and won’t overburden the roadways.”

Trotta admitted he recognizes there is a real need for senior citizen housing on Long Island, caring for two parents of his own.

Cartright, who was in attendance to represent the Town of Brookhaven and spearheaded 25A-visioning meetings in the Three Village area during the last year and a half, said the main concern of Stony Brook residents was traffic congestion in the area, especially at the juncture of 25A and Stony Brook Road.

“Today there is an alternative that is being presented by our county Legislature and that is to preserve this vital open space,” she said. “And we stand in support of the preservation of this land.”

Englebright said he wrote a letter to the New York State Department of Transportation asking it to deny any application for curb cuts on 25A. He said the town needs to change the zoning in Smithtown. While it made sense for the property to be zoned for business when Gyrodyne tested helicopter blades, the assemblyman said it should no longer apply to the residential area.

“If this proposal is allowed to go forward it will paralyze the communities of Stony Brook and St. James,” Englebright said, adding it would bring mid-Manhattanstyle traffic to the area. “It will be like driving a stake into the heart of St. James.”

Gyrodyne could not be reached for comment by press time.

The Smithtown Planning Board held a public hearing on Gyrodyne’s proposal 8 p.m Nov. 15, after press time, the video of which can found on their website: www. smithtownny.gov.

After reading the motivational book, “The Energy Bus”, by Jon Gordon, students at Dogwood Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District had a special visit from the author Nov. 6, thanks to the school’s PTA. Gordon, who is a motivational speaker and also a Smithtown alumnus, spoke to students and staff about the five rules for his energy bus and how they can use them to create a positive attitude

and experience every day. He talked to students about the bus rules of creating a positive vision; enjoying the ride; fueling the ride with positive energy; no bullies allowed; and loving your passengers.

His message to stay motivated by setting a positive vision for yourself resonated with students and staff alike. After talking about different ways of creating positive energy, the students had a brief question and answer session with Gordon.

Architecture Guide HOME FEATURES: arches, columns, dormers, roofs, windows, classic molding RESIDENTIAL STYLES: Art Deco â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Homes built in this style feature geometric elements and a vertically oriented design.

California Bungalow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A forerunner of the Craftsman style, California Bungalows offer rustic exteriors, sheltered-feeling interiors, and spacious front porches.

Cape Cod â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A true classic, Cape Cod homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; square or rectangular one-story structures with gabled roofs and unornamented fronts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were among Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first houses.

Colonial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, Colonial homes feature a rectangular, symmetric design, second-floor bedrooms, clapboard siding, and gabled roofs.

Contemporary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unmistakably modern in feel, Contemporary style homes are identifiable by their odd-sized windows, lack of ornamentation, and unusual mix of wall materials.

Craftsman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Full or partial-width porches framed by tapered columns, overhanging eaves, and exposed roof rafters differentiate a Craftsman home from the similar California Bungalow.

Creole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A front wall that recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony highlights the Creole Cottage design.

Dutch Colonial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; German, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deutschâ&#x20AC;?, settlers in Pennsylvania originated the Dutch Colonial style, dominated by a barn-like broad gambrel roof with flaring eaves.

Federal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek Roman culture, as its classical ornamentation around cornices, doors, and windows demonstrates.

French Provincial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which includes a steep hip roof; balcony and porch balustrades; and rectangular doors set in arched openings.

Georgian â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Refined and symmetrical with paired chimneys and a decorative crown, Georgian houses were named after English royalty.

Gothic Revival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; English romanticism influenced this style marked by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gothicâ&#x20AC;? windows with pointed arches; exposed framing timbers; and steep, vaulted roofs.

Greek Revival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Large porches, entryway columns, and a front door surrounded by narrow rectangular windows characterize Greek Revival homes.

International â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts, ground-to-ceiling plate glass windows, and smooth facades.

Italianate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Symmetrical bay windows in front; small chimneys set in irregular locations; tall, narrow, windows; and in some cases towers, typify Italianate houses.

Monterey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an adobe brick exterior and a second floor with a balcony.

National â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rooted in Native American and pre-railroad dwellings, the National style consists of a rectangular shape with sidegabled roofs or square layouts with pyramidal roofs.

Neoclassical â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Recognize Neoclassical homes, which exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses, by their Ionic or Corinthian-columned porches.

Prairie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style house comes in two styles--boxy and symmetrical or low-slung and asymmetrical.

Pueblo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Flat roofs, parapet walls with round edges, straight-edge window frames, earth-colored stucco or adobe-brick walls, and projecting roof beams typify Pueblos.

Queen Anne â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Emerging in the late Victorian era, the style employs inventive, multistory floor plans that often include projecting wings, several porches and balconies, and multiple chimneys with decorative chimney pots.

Ranch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Similar to the Spanish Colonial, Prairie, and Craftsman styles, Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, wood or brick exterior walls, siding, and picture windows.

Regency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Although they borrow from the Georgianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic lines, Regency homes eschew ornamentation. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re symmetrical, two or three stories, and usually built in brick. Typically, they feature an octagonal window over the front door, one chimney at the side of the house, double-hung windows, and a hip roof.

Saltbox â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This New England Colonial style gained the Saltbox nickname because its sharply sloping gable roof resembled boxes used for storing salt.

Second Empire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Victorian style, Second Empire homes feature mansard roofs with dormer windows, molded cornices, and dec-

Š97347

orative brackets under the eaves.

Shed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with multiple roofs sloping in different directions, which creates several geometric shapes.

Shingle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An American style that echoes the Queen Anne, Shingle style is distinguished by unadorned doors, windows, porches, and cornices; continuous wood shingles; a steeply pitched roof line; and large porches.

Shotgun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door of this long, narrow home. The style is characterized by a single story with a gabled roof.

Spanish Eclectic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Taking its cues from early Spanish missions, Spanish Eclectic then adds a dash of details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles.

Split Level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Modern style, Split Level design sequesters certain living activities, such as sleeping or socializing.

Stick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards characterize Stick houses, which are members of the Victorian family.

Tudor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more steeply pitched cross gables typify Tudor homes.

Victorian â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture often incorporated decorative details such as brackets, spindles and patterned shingles.

Letters to the editor

Trotta: Thank you voters for re-electing me

Screenshot from Twitter

Men and women take part in sharing abuse stories on Twitter using the hashtag #MeToo.

The power to curb abuse The sexual harassment dam broke when the allegations surged against producer Harvey Weinstein.

A tsunami of newly empowered victims have spoken out about sexual harassment in the workplace after the fall of entertainment heavyweights like Weinstein and Bill O’Reilly, and it has led to others coming out against actor Kevin Spacey, comedian Louis C.K. and many others.

Most employers take allegations of sexual and ethnic harassment seriously and show little tolerance when presented with credible cases of abuse. However, in situations where the accused are “rainmakers” — individuals on whom the success of the business depends — too many companies sweep allegations of predatory behavior under the rug.

With a wave of accusations of sexual harassment and assault, often dating back years, the industry frontrunners have been forced to step down from their roles, but there needs to be consistency, and more needs to be done to restrict the persistent flow of these cases.

We can only hope that the last month will serve to further empower victims harboring years-old stories. It is important that anyone with a story to tell knows that if credible, their story will be believed and repercussions will follow. We hope more men, women and children step up and speak out, regardless of whether or not the abuser is in a position of power, though we understand how difficult that is. Don’t be fearful of public embarrassment, don’t worry about your reputation and never feel like lesser goods. Instead, think about the wrongs you’d be righting. Think of the people you could prevent from coming in harm’s way, and think of the justice that will be served.

There are two types of repercussions for situations like these: legal ones and societal ones. In the situations where statutes of limitation have expired or physical evidence is limited, legal consequences are not always possible. When those cases arise, it is incumbent on society to make the pain felt elsewhere.

Following the Bill Cosby allegations, all of his “The Cosby Show” videos were removed from television, Netflix, YouTube, etc. While Netflix has parted ways with Spacey on “House of Cards,” all of the seasons from pilot to finale are still intact, as well as C.K.’s show “Louie,” although Netflix has canceled his planned stand-up special, and his new feature film has been put on hold.

How Cosby’s work has been treated in the aftermath of his date rape revelations provides a sharp contrast to the conversation around C.K.’s.

The latter is currently receiving thought pieces on separating the flawed man from his brilliant work. Even if the accusations are not as harsh as those brought upon Cosby, the allegations are disgusting and should be treated as such.

In the last year, Cosby said he’s completely blind. Let’s see if the cases against Weinstein, Spacey and C.K are enough to open the eyes of society to the inappropriate conduct and crimes of people in power. We hope that the country and workplace don’t turn blind eyes to these behaviors the way some people did for now-President Donald Trump (R) when he said in his leaked tape of “locker room” talk,, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy,” To the Cosbys, Weinsteins, Spaceys and C.K.’s of the world, locker room talk and actions are not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

Thanks for your support during the recent election. I will continue my efforts to reduce government overspending and to stop the fee increases imposed by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) to fill holes in the budget.

I will also reintroduce my Campaign Finance Reform Act to put a limit on the amount that

unions and contractors doing business with the county can contribute to the campaigns of candidates running for office.

With support from the State of New York, I look forward to working on the revitalization of our communities with state funds that have been earmarked for sewers and the cleanup and re-

development of the Nissequogue River State Park.

Thank you again for your vote of confidence and I look forward to serving you.

Rob Trotta Suffolk Legislator 13th District

Zeldin: Let’s fix our broken tax code With seven brackets and countless rules, the United States tax code is broken and in desperate need of repair to work better for Americans. This overcomplicated and confusing maze has made our nation uncompetitive globally with companies, jobs and liquidity moving abroad. We need bold, pro-growth reform that improves our business climate, creates more well-paying, private sector jobs, and allows every hardworking American to keep more of their hard-earned paycheck.

Anyone who has ever filled out a tax form knows the entire system is a convoluted mess that needs to be simplified. On top of this, the structure allows for special interest breaks while the average American family struggles just to make ends meet. The goal should be that more hardworking families can actually see the fruits of their labor.

We also need to make our tax code more competitive globally.

The United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, at 35 percent. The current tax code is pushing jobs overseas, hurting our businesses and driving out well-paying private sector jobs. We must reform the code to allow our manufacturers to compete better abroad and create more Made in America

products. Our broken tax code incentivizes the import of cheap foreign products but doesn’t do enough to help our manufacturers or farmers export their products. I believe the solution is simple: we must lower the corporate tax rate in order to make America more competitive in the global marketplace, to create additional jobs and grow the economy.

However, as a New York congressman, representing a New York congressional district, I know all too well the challenges of our high cost of living, exacerbated by high state and local taxes. Individuals and families on Long Island are working so hard just to make ends meet. Income levels that may be considered upper middle class in other parts of our country don’t go anywhere near as far in New York.

For too many families, if their state and local tax (SALT) deduction is eliminated, under the current plan, the amount they owe the federal government will actually increase.

This is the most important reason I oppose the current proposal.

I view elimination of the SALT deduction as a geographic redistribution of wealth, picking winners and losers. The proposal taxes additional funds from a state like New York in order to pay for deeper tax cuts elsewhere. For

anyone who incorrectly argues that the rest of the country subsidizes our state, I would point out that New York is a net contributor to the federal coffers with regard to both tax policy and spending policy — and that is even with the SALT deduction.

It is not lost on me that the reason our state and local tax deduction is so high is because our state and local taxes are so high.

This is especially why it is urgent that tax relief be provided by all levels of government. There is so much that can be done to help make Long Island more affordable so that families can stay together, younger generations can afford to raise a family here and seniors can afford to stay.

If I am not fighting for my home state and home district, I cannot expect someone else from some other state to do it for me.

I would love to be able to get to a “Yes” vote and provide desperately needed tax relief for my constituents and all Americans, but this bill is not there yet, and I will not stop advocating for improvement on this important issue.

Lee Zeldin U.S. Congressman 1st District

Participate in the Great American Smoke Out Did you know that tobacco is the only product that, when used as intended by its manufacturers, kills?

This week, tobacco companies are gearing up to launch a courtmandated ad campaign admitting that they lied to the American public about their deadly and addictive products for decades. The ads will make clear that companies intentionally made cigarettes more addictive and that all cigarettes cause cancer. The court case that issued the sentence also found the tobacco companies guilty of marketing their dangerous products to

children and lying about it.

This new court-mandated truth campaign follows the passage of New York State legislation restricting e-cigarette use in public places.

We’ve also seen new traction in many of Long Island’s localities on raising the age of sale for tobacco products from 18 to 21. Despite these meaningful steps forward, tobacco use is still the leading cause of preventable death and disease in New York State and the nation. More than 28,000 New Yorkers die every year from smoking-related illnesses.

This week we celebrate the

Great American Smoke Out [Nov. 16]. It is a day to call on your local representatives to stand up for stronger tobacco control, demand that we protect our youth from harmful and addictive tobacco products and a day to encourage a tobacco user you love to finally make a plan to quit smoking.

It’s time to hear the truth and take it seriously. Let’s show tobacco companies they can’t have a hold on our community.

opinion The benefit of second thoughts in an instantaneous world

W

e rarely get anything completely right the first time.

I’m not just saying that because I’m a second child. I idolize my older brother. In fact, I’m fond of my younger brother, too.

We need practice. When we’re young, we take a few steps and we fall hard.

Fortunately, at that age, we’re practically made of plastic, bouncing off the nearby floor as if it were a downy soft trampoline.

As we age, the

By Daniel Dunaief floor gets harder.

With each figurative step through life, we make adjustments, learn on the fly and revise our approach.

We recently visited a few colleges

D. None of the above

with our daughter. The cheerful school representatives were selling us on the idea that their classes were great, the students they admitted were incredible and the opportunities were extraordinary.

One theme that stuck out, especially after several schools presented it as if unique, was that they made students uncomfortable. They wanted to challenge their undergraduates to reach outside their comfort zone. They wanted eager students to fall down and, in so doing, learn to get back up.

This idea of falling is part of the charm of enjoying the ride. We listen to elementary school music concerts in which someone plays a few notes after the conductors arms have stopped moving, we nod encouragement when the young person on stage says a few of the wrong words in a speech, and we suggest to our kids that they’ll spell “because” correctly the next time.

The country may have forgotten that our strutting president, who has been

in the public eye for so long, has never been a politician. He’s definitely outside his comfort zone, acting like a president when he hasn’t even been, to borrow a phrase from him, “elected dog catcher.”

People pounce on every mistake, every breach of protocol and every misstatement, ready to tar and feather him for saying or writing something that probably would play better on a fictionalized reality TV show than it does for him as president of the United States.

He’s so eager to be a part of every story and to expand his brand — something he’s been doing reflexively for years — that he doesn’t appear to take the time to recognize or acknowledge mistakes.

I know how it is to say, “my bad.”

Many people consider admitting a mistake some sign of weakness, instead of a reflection of strength and self awareness. Erring, as the saying goes, is human.

You don’t get many free passes when you’re president. You either learn or you

don’t, you either unify or you don’t, and you either say or do the right thing, or you don’t.

Still, it seems to me that he might endear himself to more people, and win higher ratings, if he took a few extra seconds to think about whether he might write or respond to something in a different way. He doesn’t seem burdened by the kind of reflection that allows for his own second thoughts to enter the discussion.

People are eager to rip him apart each day, but let’s remember something his handlers and cohorts seem to embrace regularly: He gets angry when people point out that he’s fallen down.

Maybe he can meet us halfway, by learning to take an extra second to edit his thoughts or speech. When he takes a few steps without falling, we can breathe a sigh of relief, the way parents do when they’re no longer bending over to protect their children from bumping their heads on nearby coffee tables.

Overcoming grief and hardship with a purpose

J

oe Biden has written a book called, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose,” about one year in his life. A memoir, it deals in part with the illness and death of his elder son, Beau, from brain cancer at the age of 46. I have not read the book. It just came out this past Tuesday, Nov. 14. But the coincidence of the book’s release on the day my husband died at a similarly young age exactly 30 years ago from cancer has connected me to Biden. I know what he went through — the

By Leah S. Dunaief shock, the pain, the hope, the heartbreak, the grief and the end that ultimately comes crashing down into silence. Then he faced the absolute necessity of having to pick up and function because life moves on with every passing day. And we must move on with it because there is no respite for the living.

Between you and me

Biden also writes about his difficult decision not to run for president in the 2016 election and about the foreign crises in Iraq, the Ukraine and Central America as part of his workload during that one year.

“I wanted to write precisely about the crises and dilemmas I faced as they intersected in the moment,” Biden told Philip Galanes in an interview with The New York Times. “I wanted to show that in the ebb and flow of life, nothing is totally separable.”

I know that Biden was lucky to have those other facets to deal with, just as I was lucky to have a huge challenge almost immediately after my husband’s death.

Two of my sons were away in college, the third was a high school senior and the newspaper was being challenged by the Communications Workers of America to unionize. A reporter on my staff, who had already made his mark by unionizing the teaching assistants at Stony Brook University, brought the union to my door. He turned his attention to our hometown newspaper, despite the fact that there wasn’t a community newspaper in all of New York state that had a union.

Shoestring budgets and multitask jobs preclude coordinated decision making with a union. The CWA was attracted, I guess, because it represented new territory to conquer. The only problem was that community newspapers are not flush with profits and do not have large staffs to join a union. Nonetheless, we had to fight them off for six months, as they handed out pamphlets with all sorts of painful charges to get our staff worked up against the company. The climax came with an appearance before the National Labor Relations Board in a room without air conditioning in Brooklyn on a hot June day. The pickings were turning out to be pretty lean for the CWA, and they backed off.

Throughout the ordeal, I was wildly angry. I wasn’t getting a chance to grieve. Each day I had to rush to the parapets to defend the honor and integrity of the newspaper against what was to me a ridiculously unequal battle. I barely gave any attention to my grieving son who was still at home, nor did I have a chance to pour out my own grief somewhere in a quiet corner. But I did realize how fortunate I was in those who came to my defense. We had absolutely no money to hire a labor lawyer,

and we had no idea how to respond.

But the newly retired union leader of the Long Island Rail Road came into my office and offered his help.

Harold Pryor was the man who had terrified Gov. Nelson Rockefeller (R) during contract talks by calling wildcat strikes from his totally loyal followers, directing them to abandon the trains at the nearest station during rush hour.

Pryor was living in the area and teaching at Stony Brook University. When he found out what was happening to our newspaper, he thought it was not only unfair but also idiotic. He came to advise me through the thicket of union maneuverings, and he brought with him an experienced lawyer to defend us during the hearing.

It was a script worthy of a movie.

Here was this feared union leader facing off against one of the largest unions for the sake of a peanut of a newspaper.

Jimmy Stewart would have played his part in the spirit of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” And thanks to his aid, we emerged unscathed.

Only after it was all over did I realize that life had thrown me a life preserver, much as it had for Biden, and therefore we hadn’t drowned in our grief.

Lucky 7s:

Kings Park claims seventh straight LIC crown

By Desirée Keegan anD Bill lanDon

at top, the Kings Park volleyball team celebrates its seventh suffolk County title. above, Haley Holmes sets the ball.

Haley Holmes is used to lending a helping hand.

But what was maybe unexpected was six service aces that went along with her 31 assists in Kings Park’s girls volleyball team’s 3-0 sweep of South Side Nov. 11, 25-15, 25-13, 25-16, for the Kingsmen’s seventh straight Long Island championship crown.

Head coach Ed Manly said Holmes’ floating serve has some spin-drop action to it, making it more difficult for defenders to return. She showed that during a 6-0 run in the second set, in which she recorded two aces.

Holmes received many of senior libero Meagan Murphy’s passes throughout the game to set up Erika Benson (10 kills), Lexi Petraitis (eight kills), Kara Haase (three kills) and Samantha Schultz (three kills).

“Hitters like Lexi, Sam, Kara and Erika — I can count on them to put my ball away,” Holmes said.

The aggressive attack action is what Manly said he prefers seeing from his athletes.

“When we’re aggressive on offense is when we play some of our best volleyball,” he said. “But sometimes through the course of a match, there are ebbs and flows.”

Having multiple weapons on offense and defense has led Kings Park to another state tournament appearance.

In the No. 1 Kingsmen’s 25-13, 25-23, 25-15 shutout of Westhampton Beach Nov. 9, the team relied more on its defense to take the Suffolk County title.

“Our defense and our blocking is what won the game for us,” said Haase after the county championship game, who’d finished with seven kills. “We had so many touches on the ball; [Westhampton] didn’t have one outside hit that we didn’t have a touch. It was just a great overall performance.”

Holmes, who recorded 40 assists, was also quick to point to the team’s defense across the postseason.

“We always have great defense in the back row,” Holmes said. “We have Megan Sticco and a bunch of people I can always count on to get the ball to me. We’ve also been working on a huge block with Erika, and that’s helped us a lot in the past few games.”

While the offense was there too — Murphy finished with 33 digs; Erika Benson notched 12 kills and three blocks; Petraitis slammed down 10 kills; Schultz added eight kills; and Haase had seven — the serving was sloppy for Kings Park in the second set of the county win, according to Manly.

“In that second set Westhampton picked up its defense and we got into some trouble where we didn’t serve particularly well in

certain points,” he said. “We had a hard time putting balls away [because] they’re a solid defensive team. We didn’t hit a very high percentage and that’s a tribute to their defense.”

Schultz said she isn’t concerned about what other teams are doing though.

“I knew that if we played the way we’re supposed to play we would definitely get the job done,” she said. “I wasn’t concerned about what they were doing, but what we can control and how we can play. And if we did that we’d get it done.”

Kings Park is confident it can continue to use every weapon in its arsenal while chasing the elusive state title.

On top of extending their county and Long Island volleyball reign, the Kingsmen have now racked up 20 wins in a perfect season. Kings Park has also been dominant in sweeping all but one team, Half Hollow Hills West in a 3-1 win Oct. 11.

— Ed Manly The team will be tested this weekend, as Kings Park enters the state tournament facing undefeated Walter Panas in the first round at Glens Falls Civic Center Nov. 18.

“We’re really excited to go up there, and we know we can actually do it,” Murphy said. “We’ve been looking at Panas, and we really think we can beat them and all the rest of the teams up there.”

Holmes will be assisting in any way she can, and she said her Kingsmen have all the pieces in place for the checkmate this time.

“It’s our heart,” Holmes said, that has led her team to seven county and Long Island wins, and what could lead Kings Park to its first state title. “If we just play to our potential — with our dedication — if we bring our ‘A’ game, we’re tough to beat.”
