Mount Sinai Therapy Dog Trainer Volunteers Service for Schools

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Bob Lynch and his dog Kallie are magnetic, or at least it seems that way to watch people come forward, asking gingerly if they can pet the dog, her tail waving frantically.

Coming into the TBR News Media offices, Kallie was the star of the show, and Lynch just let her work her magic. She doesn’t make a sound, instead just walking toward people asking to be petted.

Lynch, a 73-year-old Mount Sinai resident, has been volunteering his time working with therapy dog services for the past several years.

He’s owned Kallie, a keeshond, since she was a puppy, and they have been a team for five years.

Though he works part time as a risk management consultant, he finds his biggest joy nowadays is taking Kallie where she’s needed most, on a voluntary basis, through the local chapter of Love on a Leash, which provides these services free of charge.

Kallie has been to nursing homes, veterans homes and hospitals, but where she’s been that her breed might be best at is at schools. “[Keeshonds] were bred to be babysitters — when they see kids they light up, they love kids, and going to school is perfect for that,” he said.

“The work in itself is fulfilling, you walk into a room and see the smiles, and see the demeanor of the people change very quickly.”

Lynch will soon be at the Port Jefferson high and middle schools often as part of a new pilot program in the district that they say will relieve stress among students.

Christine Austen, the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction at Port Jeff, said she was contacted by Lynch last year and submitted it to the curriculum committee as a pilot, which they approved.

Tara Sladek-Maharg, who teaches social studies and psychology in both the Port Jeff middle and high schools, originally brought in a therapy dog for her AP psychology class last year. She had become enthused about the idea of a therapy dog in the classroom after witnessing firsthand what a demonstrably positive effect it had on her own father, when trainer Linda Christian and her dog Murphy, also of Love on a Leash, came to Stony Brook University Hospital and showed him love and compassion after he had a seizure and was going through rehabilitation.

“He goes into rehab and he just sits and goes to each individual person and just lays his head down on them — petting the dog is just so calming,” she said.

Studies have also shown such animals have

a positive effect on elementary school students, especially in helping them speak up in public or in class.

“Today our students are very stressed — our staff is very stressed, so having the presence of a

dog is just a wonderful outlet,” she said. “They don’t discriminate, especially if they are trained therapy animals. They don’t have any reason to make somebody feel self-conscious, and they have a calming effect on us.”

Other school districts that have experimented with therapy dogs in classrooms have come away talking of success. Lynch has been a regular at events hosted in the Longwood school district, Miller Place School District and Ward Melville in the Three Village district.

Miller Place High School Library Media Specialist Catherine Lynch brings in therapy dogs once a year during testing to help students relax during such a stressful time. One thing she has noticed is students regularly put away their phones when interacting with the dogs, instead talking and petting the dogs or speaking with each other.

“Just petting the dog, they get this feeling of unconditional love,” she said, adding she would like to see the program expanded to multiple times throughout the school year.

Love on a Leash is a national organization that started in San Diego in the 1980s as a volunteer organization for therapy dogs. The organization has expanded to include chapters across the U.S. and several thousand members. The THERAPY DOGS Continued on A11

Work Continues on Mount Sinai Jetties

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Above, in January 2017, Port Jefferson’s East Beach looked relatively prestine before it was wracked in storms. By April 2018, bottom, East Beach’s infrastructure was severely damaged by seas and wind, such as the September 2017 nor’easter, middle. The loss of sand flowing through the damaged jetties was seen by village officials as a main culprit, although questions still remain about if and how the village will get its sand back if dredged from the bottom of the Mount Sinai inlet.

& Pope is being paid $86,000 for fulltime construction inspection services.

The jetties are expected to increase in height and become slightly wider.

The west jetty will extend slightly further south than the east jetty.

Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) said the contractor plans to use a barge to bring equipment out to do work on the east jetty, using East Beach as a staging ground.

After years of hand wringing and gathering funds, the Mount Sinai Jetty project finally got underway over this past fall and winter. It’s been a long time coming, and local photographer Gerard Romano has documented before and after shots of what work has already been done at the eastern jetty and what work has already begun with the western jetty.

Bayshore-based H&L Contracting was given a $7.4 million contract to do the work. The jetties’ rocks collapsed and were submerged at the seaward ends during high tide, and lower than 4 feet in some places. Holes in the jetty have also caused erosion to surrounding bluffs and beachfronts.

The western jetty has been of particular concern to neighboring Port Jefferson village and its beaches.

In addition, Melville-based surveying and engineering firm Nelson

Work on the east jetty was conducted through late summer and is expected to continue until spring. The west jetty, center, is overflowing at high tide, but the next stage of work on the west jetty is set to begin soon, and a huge Komas’tu W500 front loader can be seen moving sand and rocks at East Beach in Port Jefferson, right.

Top left, the east jetty can barely be seen at high tide and in December of 2016, the jetty had nearly completely collapsed. By Jan. 15, 2020, top right, the construction of the east jetty was largely completed. The middle photo shows a size comparison of the east and west jetty as it currently stands in mid-January.

State 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund Extends Deadline for Claims

SWR Considers Nine-Period Day for Middle School

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Citing that 25 percent of middle school students don’t have access to their full potential, the Shoreham-Wading River Central School District is considering bumping up from eight to nine periods in a school day at the middle school, but doing so could mandate an earlier start time for some students.

Alfred G. Prodell Middle School Principal Kevin Vann said at the Jan. 7 board meeting the middle school program committee has come to the conclusion a nine-period school day would mean students have additional time for electives, for specific classes like earth science or for more students to participate in clubs or in musical classes, which would be moved into the middle of the day if the board were to accept the proposal. The principal added that such a change will allow students to free up time for further electives once they enter high school.

The Alfred G. Prodell Middle School could go from eight perioids to nine. Photo from Google Maps

Vann said according to their data, 25 percent of the overall middle school students are currently unable to participate in activities they would otherwise be able to with the additional period. Other neighboring districts like Three Village, Port Jefferson and Mount Sinai all have nine-period days in the middle schools.

With the change however, all students would need to be in the school during the early morning period of 7:20 a.m. Currently students taking one of the musical electives or seeking extra help come in during that time.

The board will also need to look at the cost and potential impacts of such a change before coming to a decision further down the line.

“We have many clients that missed this deadline, because they did not know that a cancer (or other death causing disease) was 9/11 related, did not know that the VCF applies to non-first responders or were wholly unaware of the VCF program until the recent news — when it was too late,” said attorney Daniel Hansen, of the firm.

According to a recent report from the Congressional Budget Office, about 410,000 people were exposed to 9/11-related toxic dust released into the air in lower Manhattan in the area surrounding the World Trade Center site. An estimated 67,000 of those exposed people have died since 2001.

Of the exposed people who have died, only 1,173 families have filed wrongful death claims.

Families, first responders, survivors and the families of anyone who died in the past 18 years due to 9/11-related illness now will have more time to reapply and file a claim after the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund extended its deadline for another year.

Individuals will have until July 29, 2021, to file a claim.

The new rule change gives the families of all 9/11 first responders or downtown workers, residents and students who died more than two years ago, from 2002 until the present, the chance to receive an award from the VCF. The VCF is also reviewing past submitted wrongful death claims and will make awards to the families whose wrongful death claims were denied due to missing the old two-year deadline.

Previously, the VCF required that the families of people who died from a 9/11-related illness to register their claim within two years from the date of death. The harsh old “two years from the date of death” deadline caused the denial of many VCF wrongful death claims for not meeting the two-year deadline.

Ian Brown was driving a 2000 Lincoln Navigator eastbound in a parking lot when it crossed Hallock Road south of Millbrook Road and crashed into multiple trees at around 11:35 a.m., according to police.

Brown, 52, who was ejected from the ve-

hicle, was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner.

The vehicle was impounded for a safety check. Anyone with information is asked to call the 6th Squad at 631-854-8652.

Local Business Sets Cause of Employing Those with Autism

BY LEAH CHIAPPINO LCHIAPPINO@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Local entrepreneur Stacey Wohl has moved her store, Be(Cause) Lifestyle Boutique, which first opened Nov. 22, from its original East Northport location to Wading River Square.

Despite the change in location, it still has the same mission, to give people with disabilities a chance at employment.

In 2015, Wohl opened Cause Cafe in Northport, a restaurant that employed people on the autism spectrum, with the help of her parents, Susan and Gerald Schultz. Her interest in doing so was taken from her own two children, Brittney, 22, and Logan, 20, both of whom have autism.

Wohl says the business struggled because of the lack of a nonprofit being able to subsidize the rent. Her children were unable to work in the kitchen as the environment could get chaotic, and it grew very loud.

“When you own a business, you have to do everything, and I am not a chef,” Wohl said. “It was a very large undertaking that we weren’t prepared for.”

Despite putting her best efforts into it,

County

Wohl was forced to shut down the restaurant when it was not able to sustain itself and personal tragedy struck. In 2016, Cause Cafe was featured on the Rachel Ray Show, which sent Wohl on a cruise with her children and parents. Two days into the trip, her father had a heart attack while dancing with her mother on the ship and passed away.

When the family returned home, Wohl closed the doors, as she felt the need to care for her mother, who was mourning the loss of a husband of 55 years.

Wohl’s first love is fashion, having been a

showroom salesperson, fit model and boutique owner in her 20s, so she opened Be(Cause) Lifestyle Boutique in East Northport. However, tragedy struck again when her mother passed away three weeks later. Wohl relocated to Wading River after her daughter got accepted to a day program in Abequogue.

“I saw the need for a place like this,” Wohl said.

The front of the store has a coffee bar with repackaged baked goods to take home, complete with inspirational coffee mugs for sale. The back of the store is filled with apparel and gifts that

Area Hospitals Bracing for Another Tough Flu Season

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM State, county and area hospitals are bracing for this year’s flu season following reports of a sharp increase in recent weeks in the number of flu cases in New York state.

About 11,000 confirmed cases of influenza were reported by the New York State Department of Health for the week ending Jan. 11. That’s an increase of 10 percent over the previous week, according to the New York State Flu Tracker. There were 641 new cases in Suffolk County. The statewide total this season stands at almost 44,000.

Similarly, “widespread”’ flu activity was reported by health departments in 46 states as of the last week of December, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.

Stony Brook Children’s Hospital’s Dr. Sharon Nachman, division chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and professor of Pediatrics, said currently the hospital is in the midst of handling an influx of influenza cases.

“We are dealing with the children’s hospital being quite full,” she said. “We have a number of infants with the flu, and we are concerned about it.”

The hospital hopes to see an improvement

in the next couple of weeks.

Nachman points to a number of reasons why we have been seeing more flu cases in the state: People unwilling to get vaccinated; individuals believing that they are safe from getting sick if they haven’t in the past; a belief that cold and flu medications are better than the shot, among other things.

“I ask patients, ‘Is there a legitimate reason why you don’t want to be vaccinated?’”

Nachman said. “You have to think of who is also living in your household, like young people and the elderly. Community protection is everyone’s job.”

The division chief said if everyone got their flu vaccine there would be less people to treat.

“You are 100 percent at risk without the vaccine,” Nachman said. “The vaccine will not prevent someone from getting the flu, but it can lessen the severity of it and shorten its duration.”

She said despite some misconceptions, you can’t catch the flu from the vaccine as it does not contain a live virus. If you happen to get sick after getting a flu shot, it’s a coincidence as there are a lot of viruses and illnesses circulating during the winter months.

In an effort to curb flu cases in Suffolk County, officials announced recently that

the county would be offering free influenza immunization to residents 6 months of age and older who are uninsured or whose health insurance does not cover flu immunization.

“The health and wellness of our residents is of utmost importance,” said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) in a statement.

“The flu has been on the rise, and we want residents to know it is not too late to protect yourself and your loved ones from what can turn into a debilitating disease by getting immunized as soon as possible.”

The county’s health department has been providing flu immunizations at a number of locations including Suffolk County Department of Health Services at Great River in the Town of Islip and at Riverhead Free Library.

Nachman said it is important to constantly wash your hands and if you are sick, stay home to avoid exposing others to the illness.

Flu shots are also available at local pharmacies, pediatrician and health care provider offices, as well at county-affiliated health centers.

People who are having difficulty finding flu shots or community groups serving those who are in need of flu shots are advised to contact the county Department of Health Services Bureau of Communicable Disease Control at 631-854-0333.

mostly come from women-owned companies and charitable causes. There is local artwork for sale as well as her own coffee brand.

“I want the store to be a place where people go to buy a gift, and not just feel like they are doing something for charity,” Wohl said.

Recently the business has been struggling.

Business boomed over Christmas, but after the holidays business slowed down.

“I only sold one $3 dollar cup of coffee today,” Wohl said. However, she affirms the community has been very supportive. Wohl hopes that people will make the store their go-to place to grab a cup of coffee and is even looking to expand to have art classes and job training.

Five young men braved freezing waters Jan. 19 as the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption held its annual epiphany celebration at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai.

The ceremony is held annually to celebrate the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. It has been held annually since the church’s founding in 1959.

THERAPY DOGS Continued from A3

Long Island chapter was founded about a decade ago and includes over 150 members and just around 25 “active” participants covering Suffolk, Nassau and parts of Queens.

Theresa Schwartz, the chapter president, said schools have been expanding such programs with therapy dogs. When she started about three years ago, schools would ask her to come in during testing times, but that has expanded into doing reading programs in elementary schools, after-school wildlife clubs, SEPTA events and even offering support services during emotionally fraught times, such as when a teacher or a student passes away.

The fact that Love on a Leash is a nonprofit volunteer organization makes the program unique, Lynch said. From the start, people who train the dogs and take them around are also their owners, living with them 24/7, and they have personally seen the ways a dog has helped bring people who are truly suffering a little bit of joy.

“I think I can speak for most of our volunteers doing this kind of thing, [it] makes the team, the dog and the handler, feel better, and makes other people feel better,” she said. “You see what joy your dog can bring to other people.”

SWR Soccer Coach Honored

Shoreham-Wading River school district’s girls varsity soccer coach Adrian Gilmore was honored as the 2019 Regional High School Coach of the Year for the Fall East Region.

Gilmore, one of only seven female soccer coaches to receive the award, was recognized at the United Soccer Coaches annual convention, recently held in Baltimore.

“Her rapport with players, other coaches and officials as well as her continued involvement in the community have always had a positive impact on our students,” said Director of Health, Physical Education, Athletics and Nurses Mark Passamonte. “On behalf of our school district, we congratulate her for this achievement.”

Gilmore, who is also a sixth-grade teacher at Albert G. Prodell Middle School, was lauded and presented with a plaque for her achievement at the convention.

Mustangs Win 62-57 in Overtime Thriller

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Mount Sinai Mustangs fell behind 22 points in the second quarter Jan. 18 but battled their way back against Sayville at home to retake the lead by three in the closing seconds of regulation. It was then that Sayville senior Aidan Arnesen hit a 3-point buzzer beater to force overtime. Mount Sinai surged ahead in the overtime period holding off the Golden Flashes to win it 62-57.

Head coach Ryan McNeely said his team has had some close wins and some close losses but that the close losses were in league play.

“We beat them earlier in [the season] so these two teams matchup very well, but I think our guys are tired of losing those close games,” said the coach. “We’ve got a lot of seniors who’ve been to the playoffs except for [one] year and I

think they want to get back to that.”

Mount Sinai senior guard Ryan McNeely, the coach’s son, led his team in scoring with 17 points and talked about the rematch.

“The last time we played them it was very close — we won in overtime, so we knew we could beat them,” said the senior. “Coming into our gym we always play well, we had to keep our composure and we knew we could make a run.”

Mount Sinai seniors Justin Rinck netted 14 points and Nick Cergol banked 10.

The win lifts the Mustangs to 4-7 in League VI, 7-8 overall with five games remaining in regular season play.

Clockwise from top left, Mount Sinai sophomore Gavin Takacs fights for the rebound; Rinck battles down low; senior Paul Gomes muscles his way to the basket; McNeely battles in the paint; McNeely lets a 3-pointer fly.

Editorial

Fill in the Spaces

As journalists, we share the frustrations of many residents in our communities who see the large number of empty storefronts — many left vacant for several years — while new developments seem to erupt out of the ground just a few feet away from derelict properties.

Imagine the grief felt by Huntington residents two years ago when Great Neck-based developer Villadom Corp. proposed construction of a 486,380-square-foot mall with retail and office space on the 50-acre property known as Elwood Orchard. Many residents feared overwhelming congestion on Route 25 and water quality issues. Meanwhile, empty buildings stood just to the east and west of the site.

Imagine the relief when the developer withdrew the application.

Then think of the relief that Hauppauge residents felt last year when they saw a sign reading Relish restaurant, of Kings Park, was opening an additional location in the old Pizza Hut on Route 111. The blighted building had been vacant for decades.

Rows of vacant buildings spoil Port Jeff’s uptown vibe. The abandoned businesses along Lake Avenue in St. James and Main Street in Smithtown also point to serious problems. In Setauket, a former King Kullen still sits empty years after the chain closed those doors, and a decrepit building sits on the corner of Gnarled Hollow Road. Suffolk County was willing to buy the latter property with the Town of Brookhaven looking to maintain it as passive parkland. Some of these situations are examples of property owners holding out for more money. In which case, the only real victim is the community as a whole.

Elected officials need to ensure that these empty storefronts are filled to create vibrant shopping areas. It’s an important, even essential step to take to create stronger, cleaner and healthier communities. It also protects groundwater and can minimize roadway congestion.

Preserve that open space and fill the locations that are already set up for commerce first.

Local officials may be limited in how much they can dictate to developers but there are options. Take for example Decatur, Illinois, where the city recently hired a retail consultant to fill the vacant storefronts. Consultants or even town employees can be tasked in recruiting companies interested in entering the market.

Businesses can be sold on the benefits of reconfiguration and renovation, rather than new construction.

Business owners can take responsibility, too, to maintain the quality of life in their neighborhoods where they do business.

Recently, former Yankees star baseball player Mariano Rivera received an OK on a zoning change from the Town of Brookhaven to create a car dealership in Port Jefferson Station in an already developed space. While he plans to create one new additional building on site, he will expand on an existing one. The local civic and town board complimented him on his willingness to work with the local community.

Many big businesses may come into an area focused on their branding, concerned with how their building needs to look, and insist on building from scratch in what they feel is an ideal location. We encourage elected officials to welcome businesses into structures that already exist. Quality of life should be considered first and foremost in our communities.

Letters to the Editor

Zeldin’s Take on Anti-Semitism Is False I am writing in response to U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin’s [R-NY1] letter [“Condemn anti-Semitism,” Jan. 9]. As a Jewish woman, I am no stranger to this type of bigotry. I, too, am fearful of the rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes. However, I have reached different conclusions and ideas as to what the appropriate responses and best practices are for combating anti-Semitism than Zeldin has.

While the congressman and I agree on the need for education to combat anti-Semitism, his conclusion that greater security is needed is an area I disagree with. Most houses of worship already have excellent security systems in place. What we do not need is our synagogues having armed security. This cannot and must not be an excuse to introduce more weapons into our community. We have already established working relationships with law enforcement in light of these threats, particularly after the Tree of Life shooting of 2018 in Pittsburgh.

Zeldin has accused elected leaders of not stepping up and speaking out against anti-Semitism. I find this statement incredibly disingenuous on his part. On Jan. 12, there was a Long Island march

against anti-Semitism. Elected officials from the local, county, state and federal levels were in attendance and spoke at the march. Thousands of Long Islanders of all faiths attended. It was a moment of solidarity in our community — and Zeldin was missing. In fact, he was the only member of the Long Island congressional delegation to be absent from this event.

That absence did not go unnoticed by the Jewish community. So, his call for greater outspokenness from his colleagues rings hollow when he chooses to miss an event of this magnitude.

It is also disgraceful that Zeldin is using anti-Semitism as an excuse to attack the bail reform law. The truth is that bail reform is about income inequality. Wealth or lack thereof should not be determining factors in release from prison. It should be risk and public safety which determine that decision.

Conflating the two as Zeldin does is misleading fearmongering, and not befitting of an elected official.

What Zeldin continues to not comprehend is that anti-Semitism is but one spoke in the wheel of bigotry. It stands alongside Islamophobia, xenophobia, homophobia

and racism. Zeldin talks about eradicating anti-Semitism, but he continuously abides and engages in other forms of hate speech in his rhetoric on social media and cable news. He has chosen to fundraise with white supremacists, including Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka. He has chosen to defend white nationalist Stephen Miller. And Zeldin was one of the 23 House Republicans who voted against H.Res.183, which not only strongly condemned anti-Semitism but condemned hate in all forms. In light of these actions, Zeldin’s letter does not match his rhetoric and voting record.

As Jews, we are all too familiar with the pain and fear associated with anti-Semitism. It is why, as a Jewish woman, I stand for and with all other victims of hate. It is why I will continue to stand up and hold my elected leaders accountable for their words and deeds, especially those like Zeldin who weaponize anti-Semitism for political purposes. Because as a student of history, I know that an attack on one of us is in fact an attack on all of us.

Good News for LIRR Commuters The Jan. 15, 2020, Metropolitan Transportation Authority Public Hearing for their proposed federal fiscal year 2019 capital program of projects confirms there continues to be good news from Washington concerning real financial support. The Town of Huntington commuters will see some of the benefits.

The MTA receives over $1.4 billion annually from the Federal Transit Administration. These dollars are used to fund various capital improvement projects for NYC Transit subway and bus, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus and Capital Construction Company. Most federal transportation grants require a 20 percent hard-cash local

share. FTA accepted toll credits instead of hard cash for the local share. This saved the MTA over $1 billion in the previous $32 billion 2015-19 five-year capital program. The MTA will save $1.6 billion under the $51 billion 2020-24 five-year capital program when applying for $8 billion in future FTA funding.

Washington has made available over $1.4 billion in 2019 FTA formula funding for the MTA. This helps pay for a significant portion of its capital program. This includes $28 million in Buses and Bus Facilities; $793 million in Section 5337 State of Good Repair and $672 million in Section 5307 Urbanized Area federal funding. There are other opportunities for up to several

hundred million more in discretionary competitive federal grants.

The MTA can also take advantage of FTA pre-award authority prior to grant approval. Use of pre-award authority affords the MTA an opportunity to start projects months earlier and incur costs for reimbursement at a later date after grant approval and obligation of funding.

The MTA currently manages an active portfolio of federally funded capital improvement projects and programs in open grants worth over $12 billion in direct FTA financial assistance.

Celebrating MLB’s First Woman Coach

T

here may be no crying in baseball, as Tom Hanks famously said in the movie “A League of Their Own,” but there is, thanks to San Francisco Giants and Alyssa Nakken, now a woman in baseball.

Last week, for the first time in the 150-year history of the game, a woman joined the ranks of the coaches at Major League level.

The hiring of Nakken, 29, follows the addition D. None of women in the of the above National Football

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF League and the National Basketball Association.

While it may seem past time that America’s pastime caught up with the times, members of the Long Island athletic and softball communities welcomed the news.

“I hope that it becomes more of the norm rather than the exception,” said Shawn Heilbron, athletic director at Stony Brook University.

For Megan Bryant, who has been the head softball coach at Stony Brook since 2001 and has collected more than 870 career wins, Nakken’s new job creates a path that others can follow.

“For the Giants and Major League Baseball and women in sports careers, that’s a big deal and is a step forward,” Bryant said. “It will open other doors for other women.”

Bryant said teams can and should recognize the wealth of coaching talent among men and women.

“If you’re a great coach, it shouldn’t matter the gender of the athletes you’re coaching,” Bryant said.

Lori Perez, who was an assistant softball coach at Sacramento State University when Nakken played and is now head coach, said the news gave her “goose bumps.”

The hardworking Nakken, a two-time captain at Sacramento State, once asked her coaches to stop a low-energy practice so the team could refocus and flush their negative

energy, Perez said.

Nakken’s parents had “high expectations for her but, even better, she had high expectations for herself,” which included doing well academically and helping out in summer camps, Perez said.

Patrick Smith, athletic director at Smithtown school district, believes these first few female hires in men’s sports are a part of a leading edge of a new trend.

“We will see more and more [women joining professional sports teams] as time goes on,” Smith said. In Smithtown, women constitute greater than half of all the athletes at the high school level.

Among the six senior women on Stony Brook’s softball team, three members are considering a career in sports after they graduate, Bryant said.

While the Women’s College World Series softball games have drawn considerable fan attention, attendance at women’s college and professional sporting events typically lags that of men.

The Long Island community can provide

their daughters with a chance to observe and learn from role models at the college and professional levels by attending and supporting local teams.

“It’s frustrating that the women’s games aren’t drawing close to what the men’s teams are,” said Heilbron. The Stony Brook women’s basketball team, which includes standout junior India Pagan among other talented players, is currently 18-1.

This is the best start in program history.

“I hope people will come” support the team, Heilbron said. “If you come, we believe you’ll come back.”

As for women in high profile roles, Bryant, who is looking forward to the addition of six new players to her softball squad this year, believes each step is important on a longer journey toward equal opportunity.

“Whether it’s in sports, science or politics, we’re making strides,” Bryant said. “But we still have a long way to go.”

Perez, who has two children, is thrilled that “women can dream of things they couldn’t dream of before,” thanks to Nakken and other female trailblazers inside and outside of the sports world.

So Here You Have It: A Self-Care Gift for the New Year

T

he impeachment trial of President Donald Trump in the Senate was not the cause of Blue Monday this week. An idea first introduced to the world in a press release in 2005, Blue Monday was named the most depressing day of the year.

Typically, the third Monday of January, but it can be the second or the fourth, Blue Monday is the confluence of several downers. We Between can certainly guess you and me what they are.

For starters,

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF there is the darkness and the weather. We are in the first full month after the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. That, combined with

the traditionally coldest month, makes for a lot of storms, gloom and shut-ins. Even if we are fortunate, as we have been so far this year — there haven’t been so many storms — we know they are coming.

Then there are the holiday bills. This is when credit charges begin arriving, along with their urgency to be paid. We had a wonderful time, for the most part, during the celebratory days of December. Time to pay the piper.

Right around now is also when our New Year’s resolutions begin to fade. Reality sets in with an awareness of how truly hard it is to break bad habits. Easier to slip back into the old ways, especially as a treat during the awful weather.

As we look ahead into the new year, there are no big holidays to anticipate — nothing larger than St. Valentine’s Day, a Hallmark holiday after all. And then there are the coming taxes.

Property tax deadline has just passed, emptying our bank accounts but April 15 will be coming up faster than our savings might grow. Not all of us get refunds — quite the contrary.

So here are five things we can do to offset the alleged challenges of the season. They are proposed by a Buddhist monk in his book, “Love for Imperfect Things: How to Accept Yourself in a World Striving for Perfection,” and they speak to self-care. Haemin Sunim, who has taught Buddhism at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, according to a recent article in The New York Times, goes beyond the obvious advice of exercising, eating well and getting enough sleep.

First, start by taking a deep breath. As we think about our breathing, it becomes deeper, giving us a sense of calm no matter what is happening around us.

Next comes acceptance “of ourselves, our feelings and of life’s imperfections.” When we struggle to overcome difficult emotions, the struggle intensifies. But if we start by accepting those emotions, allowing them to be there, the mind quiets.

Writing is a third suggestion from the monk.

leave the load on paper and get a good sleep. The list will be there and help to direct our actions in the morning. I have found this therapeutic when I wake up in the middle of the night herding a multitude of thoughts. I keep a pen and pad on the bedside table and I offload the burdens. In the morning, if I can read my writing, I can usually figure out how to proceed.

Talking is also important. How do I know what I think until I have heard what I’ve said?

Somehow talking out a situation makes it clearer.

There has to be a totally nonjudgmental and trustworthy friend who will listen, of course.

Last on the top 5 is walking: “When you sit around thinking about upsetting things, it will not help you. If you start walking, our physical energy changes and rather than dwelling on that story, you can pay attention to nature — a tree trunk, a rock. You begin to see things more objectively, and oftentimes that stress within your body will be released,” the monk said.

Even if we have no issues at the moment, we certainly feel better after taking a walk.
