Supporting community service at MCPL Caroljean D’Aquila, of Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk, and Kayla Taylor, from the Allstate Foundation, recently spoke to members of Middle Country Public Library’s Teen Advisory Council, Green Teens and Mutt Club about community engagement. The teens learned about Habitat for Humanity’s mission, volunteer programs and career paths available and discussed the Teen Advisory Council’s upcoming project, in which members will be assembling welcome
home baskets for Habitat families as housewarming gifts. These baskets will contain things like housewares and supplies. The teens also learned about the Allstate Foundation’s Good Starts Young Initiative, which sponsors the library’s teen skillbuilding and community service programs. To help the teens create the Habitat for Humanity baskets, the advisory council was presented with a $250 student grant from Allstate’s WE Volunteer Now program.

Woman with distinction
SUFFOLK COUNTY LEGISLATURE
Women’s History Month is celebrated in Suffolk County each March. In 2002, the Legislature passed a resolution stating that each county legislator shall select a woman of distinction who resides in his or her legislative district. For 2018, Legislator Tom Muratore (R-Ronkonkoma) named Ellen Morrison, a resident of Selden for more than 45 years, as this year’s award winner. Morrison’s extensive volunteer work includes serving on the Bicycle Path Pre-K Center’s PTA, leading her sons’ Boy Scout troops and helping the American Cancer Society. In 2016, she helped organize projects in conjunction with the Selden Civic Association, including community cleanups and fundraising activities. Morrison is also instrumental in the success of the civic association’s monthly food drives. “Ellen’s dedication and commitment to the Selden community is greatly appreciated and worthy of acknowledgment,” said Muratore.
“I applaud her efforts and take great pleasure in recognizing her as a woman of distinction in my district.” Morrison was joined by her husband Bruce, president of the Selden Civic Association, as she received her proclamation to commemorate the event March 20 at the general meeting of the Suffolk County Legislature.

County hopes to complete controversial trail by 2020 Public voices residual concerns following last year’s meeting BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With the Rails to Trails bike path another step closer to completion, many residents are still shouting “not in my backyard.” At a meeting inside Shoreham-Wading River High School’s cafeteria March 27, locals repeated concerns about privacy and security for homes adjacent to the trail. “They say it’s going to be scenic, but where I’m from, you’re literally 6 feet from somebody’s fence — what’s scenic about that?” Page A22 Rocky Point resident Mary Anne Gladysz said, pointing to the satellite maps that detailed the path the 10-mile trail from Crystal Brook Hollow Road in Mount Sinai to Wading River Manor Road in Wading River would take. Her property would have only a few yards of buffer from the trail. “If I had trees behind my property I wouldn’t care that much, but I have little kids, I have a tiny dog that’s going to go nuts.” The current timeline of the trail 30 years in the making shows final design plans will be submitted to the New York State

Department of Transportation May 1, and a final approval is expected to be received in October. The county would receive bids for construction in the fall with ground breaking expected to begin in spring 2019, ending in fall 2020. The total cost of construction is estimated to be $8.8 million, $500,000 of which will come from Suffolk County, and the rest from federal funds, according to Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai). “The vision in my mind is an ecotourism hub,” Anker said. “They can visit the Tesla museum, they can go into downtown Rocky Point, which really needs more passive traffic, they can stop in shops all the way into Mount Sinai.” The plan does not include building fences around properties that don’t already have them. Privacy was a major point of concern for Rocky Point resident Gary Savickas. “I have a 7-foot fence on my property, and with how high the trail will be, I will have people looking over my fence,” he said. “I would have to build a 30-foot fence if I wanted to keep eyes off my yard.

Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine at his State of the Town address April 3.
Supervisor says state of town is ‘good and getting better’
• Divorce Mediation Services • Family Dispute Resolution • Business/Workplace Conflicts • Community Disagreements and Struggles • School Based Mediation Services and Training
Cutting costs, growing local economy, combating climate change, modernizing transportation among Romaine’s goals for 2018 Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) is nothing if not confident about the future of the town he oversees. Brookhaven Town’s leader delivered his annual State of the Town address at Town Hall April 3 in which he touted its financial footing while also looking toward the future. “The state of Brookhaven Town is good and getting better,” Romaine said. “Brookhaven Town, though not perfect, is still a town full of promise and hope. It is up to all of us who live here to help realize that promise.” Brookhaven has a structurally balanced budget for the current fiscal year that stays within the state mandated tax levy increase cap, in addition to maintaining its AAA bond rating from Standard & Poor’s financial services company. Romaine detailed a few cost-saving measures he said he’d like to accomplish going forward, including more sharing of services among other municipalities as a way to streamline government and save taxpayer money. “Sharing resources and services to reduce the size, scope and cost of government is one of the best ways to control and reduce expenses,” he said, adding the town remains in the running for a shared services grant from New York State that, if selected, would add $20 million to Brookhaven’s effort. “We must continue to closely monitor our capital and operating expenses. Our residents cannot pay more in taxes. Too many Long Islanders are leaving.” He said growing the local economy through additional jobs was another priority for him and the town going forward. Romaine said he still hopes Brookhaven will be selected as the second national headquarters for Amazon, which he said could bring in about 50,000 jobs to the town. He also praised the work of the Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency, an arm
of municipalities dedicated to funding projects that will stimulate job creation and economic growth. “The IDA closed on 20 projects that will result in $435 million of private investment and the creation of 4,050 permanent or [temporary] construction jobs,” the supervisor said. “In addition, the IDA has 13 approved projects that have or are about to close in 2018, with the potential for another $440 million of private investment into our town, creating or retaining another 1,000 jobs.” Romaine detailed several “green” initiatives already underway or on the horizon in 2018, noting the real threat to Brookhaven posed by climate change and sea level rise. “With the largest coastline of any town in New York state, the Town of Brookhaven knows full well that global climate change and sea level rise is real and poses significant challenges in the decades ahead,” he said. He said the town has adopted a practice of “strategic retreat” from commercial and residential development in low-lying areas to allow nature to reclaim wetlands. He called land use and zoning among the most important powers a town government possesses. He also pointed to the imminent closure of Brookhaven’s landfill as a wake-up call in need of attention in the coming years. He said the town is ready to work with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and other towns to formulate a regional plan for solid waste disposal. The supervisor also made an impassioned call for updates to the Long Island Rail Road, including electrification of the Port Jefferson line east beyond the Huntington station, adding he co-authored a letter to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority asking for just that with Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) and Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R). “It is time for a better transportation system, one based on 21st century innovation, not 19th century technology,” Romaine said.

Bill expands daytime home care for disabled veterans Vets 70 percent or more disabled from service qualify Access now available through all state veterans homes
BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Disabled veterans received some good news March 28. President Donald Trump (R) signed the Adult Day Health Care Act into law this week, a bipartisan bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) that will expand access to health care for disabled veterans who need extra assistance and special attention in their daily lives, according to a press release from Zeldin’s office. “This is important legislation that provides a valuable and necessary service to our nation’s veterans,” Zeldin said in a statement. “By expanding access to Adult
TBR NEWS MEDIA
Zeldin’s bill to help disabled veterans is signed into law Day Health Care, we can ensure that all veterans receive the best and most efficient outpatient services that provide each veteran with the assistance and special attention they need, while still allowing them to maintain their independence.” The bill defines the program as a reimbursable treatment option through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Previously, the program was only accessible for disabled veterans at three state veterans homes in the country, leaving the expense of health care oftentimes directly shouldered by the veteran and his or her family, according to the press release. One of the three homes was Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook. The Adult Day Health Care Act provides comprehensive medical and personal care combined with engaging social activities for the physically or cognitively impaired, as well as an array of therapies and counseling. With the passage of the bill, now those who are 70 percent or more disabled as a result of their service are able to access the in-home day care at no cost at any of the 153 state veterans homes in the U.S. “I am grateful to Congressman Zeldin for having the foresight to introduce this bill on behalf of all severely service-connected veterans who reside in state veterans

Lee Zeldin, second from right, during a previous visit to the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook. homes across the country,” Vietnam veteran and patient of the Stony Brook facility Al Anderson said in a statement. “The bottom line is that this legislation will allow me to return home to my family while still having the ability to receive essential services through the Adult Day Health Care program. I can keep my chronic conditions in check and still enjoy the comforts of my own home.” Fred Sganga, director of the Long Island State Veterans Home, also thanked Zeldin for his efforts in advancing the legislation. “This legislation helps to restore a veteran’s freedom to remain an active member of their community even after succumbing
to the perils of military service,” he said. “Congressman Zeldin never forgets the sacrifice of brave women and men who donned the uniform to protect the freedoms we all enjoy today.” The Senate version of the bill was sponsored by U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). “Our nation’s veterans and their dedicated families have sacrificed enough,” Zeldin said. “This bill will give veterans the care they have earned while providing families with the support and relief they need to help their veteran loved ones to lead a fulfilling life, while keeping families together and strong.”
Uber now official ride of Stony Brook University athletics Stony Brook Athletics and Uber have partnered, and students and Seawolves fans will reap the benefits. On Feb. 28 the university’s athletic department announced a three-year partnership with Uber, a location-based car service app featuring private drivers, under the slogan, “Official Ride of the Stony Brook Seawolves.” Robert Emmerich, senior associate director of athletics at SBU, said the university has received positive feedback from students since the partnership was announced. He said no official data has been obtained yet to measure the number of rides being called for every day. He said one of the goals is to offer students and staff members discounts during high travel times in the near future. “This partnership is beneficial for many reasons and all were considered while working out the details of the agreement,” Emmerich said. “Providing students and staff with a safe and reliable way to explore Long Island is certainly one of the main focuses of this partnership.

dropped off right next to our facilities,” Emmerich said. The university is working on pickup and drop-off zones for Seawolves fans, and the locations will be finalized shortly. The Competition Automotive Gate 2 of LaValle Stadium is currently the designated pickup and drop-off point during the university’s lacrosse season, according to Emmerich.
“Teaming up with Stony Brook will allow us to provide an improved and convenient Uber experience for those traveling to and from games and around campus,” said Sarfraz Maredia, Uber’s regional general manager for the Northeast in a statement. “Together, we will make sure students, fans, alumni and faculty have access to affordable, reliable rides.”

County OKs appraisal process for Pine Lake property At the Suffolk County Legislature general meeting March 20, Introductory Resolution 1156, sponsored by Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), was unanimously approved to begin appraisal steps for a 9.9-acre wooded parcel near Pine Lake in Middle Island. The legislation authorizes the county to move forward in appraising the property for open space preservation. Located on Church Lane in Middle Island, Pink Lake was slated to be developed. It is within the Compatible Growth Area for the Pine Barrens and is within the watershed area for Pine Lake. Preserving this property would help to protect groundwater, local water bodies and the character of the community. “This resolution is the first important
step toward preservation,” Anker said. “The local community has voiced their support for preserving this property, and I am pleased to work with them on this important project. This wooded property is vital to protect the Pine Barrens, the integrity of Pine Lake and the quality of life for local community members.” Local residents attended the Legislature meeting and voiced support for the acquisition. Letters of support were also received from the Open Space Council, the Middle Island Civic Association and the Peconic Land Trust. The Town of Brookhaven has also agreed to partner on the acquisition by providing 30 percent of the cost. For more information, please contact Anker’s office at 631-854-1600.

Mad Dogs put up a fight in home loss
Tom Stock scores two goals in loss
Mad Dogs fall to 1-3 on the season
BY JIM FERCHLAND In the rainy and windy conditions, junior attacker Marc Cottage and the Smithtown West Bulls dismantled Middle Country Mad Dogs on its home turf. Scoring the first four goals for boys lacrosse team April 3, Cottage sparked the Bulls offense with a team-high eight points in a 15-3 victory at Newfield High School. He helps keep their season perfect so far at 4-0 and gave Middle Country its third loss of the year (1-3). “It felt good,” Cottage said about his performance. “I thought our offense played great in the first quarter. It was a good team win.” The Bulls got an early first quarter advantage leading 5-1 after a Danny Caddigan goal with 3:15 left. The game was tied at one point after Cottage’s first goal in the first minute. Then, Middle Country’s Tom Stock found the back of the net 43 seconds later to tie at up at 1-1. Not much scoring happened in the second quarter, but it was Kyle Zawadzki who scored all two of Smithtown West’s goal in the 12 minutes. His first goal gave the Bulls a 6-1 lead, assisted by Christian Lowd with 10:46 left. Middle Country’s Jacob Hyman had an unassisted goal 1 minute, 13 seconds later to cut the deficit back to four, but Zawadzki’s shot in final minute hit its mark to make it 7-2 Bulls at the half. There was a combined 28 points scored between 12 different players for Smithtown West. The Bulls had 13 assists on 15 goals. “Everyone was contributing,” Zawadzki said. “It wasn’t just one person, even though
Cottage did have seven goals. He was just capitalizing on all the opportunities he had.” The Bulls put the game away in the third quarter, outscoring the Mad Dogs 5-1, giving the Bulls a nine-point advantage at 12-3. Matt Caddigan scored 48 seconds into the quarter and was assisted by John Hoffman, who had four assists on the afternoon. Andrew Arce also had a goal and an assist for the Bulls. Three of Cottage’s seven goals came in the third, with one of them finding the back of the net in the final four seconds of the quarter. Hoffman, Cole Vencak and Troy Riley all had good, unanswered goals in the fourth for the Bulls to win 15-3. Even though he’s a junior, Cottage sees himself as a captain of the team. “I always have seen myself as a leader,” Cottage said. “I’m pretty sure all the starters feel that way — to teach the younger kids — just to be the best and play well.” Stock found the net twice for the Mad Dogs and going up against Smithtown West, he wanted to do exactly just that. “They’re a pretty good team,” Stock said oft Smithtown West. “They’re ranked pretty high. I was just trying to score some goals.” Smithtown West played with three different goaltenders in Cameron Young, Kyle Walker and Mike Simone. Adam Hyman stayed in the entire game as the only goalkeeper for Middle Country. He had nine saves on the afternoon. He said the team will bounce back from the loss. “We just need to work hard in practice and take this loss as a ‘W,’” Hyman said. “We just have to keep on working hard. This loss motivates the whole team to get better because no one likes to lose.” Middle Country head coach Chris Siragusa said that Smithtown West is the best team they will face all year. Middle Country finished 5-9 in Division I last year, and lost 16 seniors from that squad, boasting a majority of freshmen and sophomore this year. “I think it’s just [about gaining] experience for our guys, because of the youth,” Siragusa said. “Stock and [Jacob] Hyman are both
sophomores and they’re going to be part of the future. They were part of the team last year when their heads were spinning. I think it’s just about getting older and maturing.” Smithtown West will look to stay
undefeated when it hits the road to face Northport April 5 at 10 a.m. Middle Country wants to retaliate after the loss with an at-home contest against Sachem North on Thursday, at 4 p.m.

SUFFOLK COUNTY
A map of the soon-to-be Rails to Trails bike trail that will run from Mount Sinai to Wading River.
Rails to Trails needs upkeep after completion We were among those excited to hear the long-discussed 10-mile bike trail from Mount Sinai to Wading River Rails to Trails project finally seems to be getting off the ground. With work expected to begin in spring 2019, the LIPA-owned property will be put to great community use with countless benefits for both locals and visitors to the area. We have heard complaints from residents whose properties abut the trail, and we’ve also heard of issues at other comparable trails on Long Island. It is incumbent on the organizers of this project — Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), engineering firm NV5 and the county’s Department of Public Works — to not only hear but also act on resident concerns all along the way. While we understand having a trail suddenly run through your backyard can be a disruptive new addition to a home with the potential to attract strangers, we would argue unused woods can also attract undesirable behaviors. This is not to say that steps shouldn’t be taken to buffer the trail from property lines. We are confident that an amicable compromise can be reached as long as residents’ concerns are truly taken into account. The popular Long Island Greenbelt Trail, which is overseen by the nonprofit Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, is regularly in need of volunteers to help maintain and clean up the massive trail. To its credit, the group has a tab on its website where hikers can submit reports about issues or problems along the trail. Something like this would be great when the Mount Sinai-to-Wading River project is complete. Building a bike trail for residents and tourists alike to enjoy and utilize is great in theory, but maintaining it and keeping it vibrant is another project entirely. We would even propose the newly created chambers of commerce in each of the hamlets through which the trail runs divide the 10 miles and host quarterly cleanups. We were also glad to hear mile markers will be included on the trail to make it easier for people in need of emergency assistance to let authorities know where on the trail they are located. We’d like to see something similar to what Cold Spring Harbor State Park implemented a few years ago to ensure safety for users of the trail. Suffolk County police officer James Garside helped develop and implement innovative GPS-enabled trail markers there, and since installation in 2017, a man who suffered a heart attack on the trail was saved thanks to the availability of his precise location. We also hope this new trail is like the Setauket-Port Jefferson Greenway Trail in one specific way. “From the 6th Precinct’s standpoint there haven’t been any spikes in burglaries or home invasions on the [Setauket-Port Jefferson Greenway Trail],” Community Oriented Police Enforcement unit Sgt. Walter Langdon said during a discussion about safety on the new trail. “With the right-of-ways, people can already access the rear of these houses. With more people on the trail, there’s more people to call 911. In a way, it’s safer.” Projects for public good are always great by us, but keeping a neighbor-friendly status will require attention and work.

Zeldin: Get your priorities straight On March 24, my husband and I went to Stony Brook University’s March For Our Lives where SBU students and parents walked with placards joining their brethren in hearts and minds who were marching in Washington, D.C. They, as many other people in cities across the country, were stating their views regarding the anti-gun movement. As I watched, I thought how nice it would be if our local Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) joined and assisted the enthusiastic youngsters in their quest. After all, he is supposed to be caring for his people, not their guns or their right to massacre others with them. There was also a march near Zeldin’s office in Patchogue, a thousand strong. Knowing Zeldin’s history on this issue, I
knew that he would not be marching, not wanting to explain why he is a pawn of the National Rifle Association and has been since 2015. He wasn’t there. For all we know, he might have been in the company of Trump in Mar-a-Lago. The congressman of ours, who is supposed to support and protect his constituents, was supporting the NRA with his silence. Not surprising, after all he accepted more money from the NRA than any other New York congressperson in the 2016 election cycle with Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus). Obviously, money and power are foremost in Zeldin’s mind and heart. He once told the Long Island Advance that he is his “own man and I make decisions based on my own beliefs.” As such, 2018 is the time for Zeldin to be
uprooted from his seat in Congress and from his plans of one day being president which, by his kowtowing to Trump, is probably his strategy. After all, he follows everything his leader decides. Additionally, he goes along with every NRA blueprint. Your time is up Congressman Zeldin, leave your constituents something better than what you foresee as power. Give them what you promised. Not a false sense of power but a true sense of goodness and helpfulness, not a shrewd schemer with a Machiavellian script but a man of political distinction. There is still time to be a true man who saves us from bullets and a false sense of priorities.

Wisdom, election don’t go together In response to the letter titled, “Trump is no fan of appeasement,” in the March 22 edition of The Village Times Herald, I must congratulate George Altemose on his jaw-dropping, unconditional loyalty to “chump” in the alternate universe that has been created through this administration. Honestly this letter read like political satire, dripping with head-smacking allegiance to a man who is single-handedly dismantling every aspect of our democratic government, as well as our foreign alliances across the globe. Apparently, though, “we are fortunate indeed that the American people had the wisdom to elect a president” ... I must cease my paraphrasing there in order to retain my dignity. Under no circumstances may
wisdom and “the election” of “chump” be relegated to the same occurrence. Without Russian collusion and an inept, outdated, unnecessary electoral system, the true winner would be in the White House today. Unfortunately, though, this election was trifled with and now we have a lunatic who is trying to deflect from the Mueller investigation by claiming that he and “little rocket man” are going to have a little meeting. And “chumpets” like Mr. Altemose believe that this “president” is protecting us from the big, bad world. Should we also commend “chump” for calling his buddy Putin to congratulate him on an election win based on murder and intimidation? Is the fact that our “president” made this call despite
warnings from his legal team and his Republican cronies not cause for concern? The actions of this White House inhabitant are unprecedented — and not in the good way his supporters believe — and are putting us in a very precarious situation that will simmer until it blows. Our only saving grace is that Mr. Mueller is in the final stretch toward liberation from this horrific administration and hopefully the damage will eventually be undone. With November in sight, those who continue to assuage “chump’s” maniacal behavior will be voted out, allowing for a path to resurrection of our democracy and a sense of sanity in Washington, D.C.

Encouraging praising, not judging Praising a brave Parkland student is the right thing to do, and I almost thought Elio Zappulla was coming around to reason in his letter, “Praising a brave Parkland student,” in the March 22 edition of The Village Times Herald. Until, that is, he wrote that he wanted us to attentively note that this brave student is of a minority group. What on earth does that have to do with his brave actions? “Sadly, Latinos, along with other groups, are often victims in our country of senseless prejudice,” he wrote.
Which, of course, Elio just had to mention. So clearly, only certain people have the ability to judge — yeah, I like that too, “judge” — from criteria derived “almost exclusively from what the individual has done, or said or written.” And judging by “race, religion, ethnic origin, etc.,” is “alas how un-American.” Sarcasm follows: I’m glad Elio pointed this out to us dumb, ignorant, stupid, un-American idiots. Who do you suppose he is referring to? Can you say basket of deplorables?
I am saddened to see that Elio feels he is better than those of us whom he’s so astutely categorized as the group with senseless prejudice — how ironic. He should stop acting like a 10-year-old kid. His comments are sometimes entertaining, but I’ve stopped being amused by them because I realize that he actually believes them. Just give it a rest.

Standing tall on the volleyball court
I
looked around the packed Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia this past weekend. Let’s face it, I and — more importantly — my genes, fell short. It’s not necessarily a character flaw, but it’s not exactly the kind of advantage I’d want to give my children. There I was, cheering on my vertically challenged daughter in a game where height matters. Despite her stature, she has developed a royal passion for volleyball. The perpetual smile By Daniel Dunaief that crosses her face when she steps across the lines makes it all worthwhile, despite the effort, the expense, the endless attempts to get the stink out of her knee pads — and the driving through horrific traffic. She couldn’t be happier than
D. None of the above
when she’s throwing her small body around the floor, trying to get to some giant’s smash that seemed only a moment earlier out of her reach. When you have children, you want them to find their way, to develop outlets that they find rewarding and to contribute to something bigger than they are. Sports, I know, don’t cure disease. And yet, somehow, it’s become part of the American way, with people flying, driving and caravanning from all over the country to play in competitive tournaments where, if they succeed, they can get enough points to make it to nationals. So, there we were, listening to whistle after whistle at this volleyball attention-deficit-disorder factory when it occurred to me how my genes did my daughter no great favors. Many of the fathers towered over me. If I lived in a land where food were placed near the ceiling, I and my offspring would starve. My mother played volleyball when she was younger. She was tallish for her generation. I played volleyball
as well, although not nearly at the competitive level that has taken my daughter to places around the area, including Penn State. While my daughter is involved in numerous activities inside and outside school, it is volleyball that tops the list. When we go on vacation anywhere, the first thing she looks for is a place to play volleyball. As I watched her warm up for the third match of the day, I chatted with some of the parents from Virginia, Texas and Arizona that we met this past weekend. After some pleasantries about the event, the conversation inevitably turned toward the identity of our daughters. I could see the satisfaction they felt at pointing out their children from across the convention center floor. “My daughter is the one ducking her head down to walk under the exit sign over there.” “My daughter? She’s just a hair over 6 feet tall, but she’s still growing. How about you?” I’d smile sheepishly. “My daughter is in the middle of her teammates
over there.” “Where?” they’d ask politely. “She’s No. 9.” They’d squint into the group. Just then, my daughter would laugh her way to the outside of a circle of girls that looked like a group of gnats, diving in and out of the center of a circle of joy. Then again, as I watched her throw herself across the floor, I thought about the match between her personality and the role she plays in this sport. Sure, it’d be easier for her to stand out if she were taller. But, given her need to defy expectations, she’d probably want to be a jockey if she were 6 feet tall. As the weekend came to a close, I asked her if she wished she could play volleyball every day. “Of course,” she said. “Can you imagine having a job one day that made you feel that way?” I asked. “Yeah,” she smiled, trying to imagine a job that fits her interests as well as volleyball.
about 30-45 minutes, but between the prep at the office and the recovery, it’s a two-to-four hour event. The first time I had this test, I wanted to be awake to see the inside of the intestine, which is actually quite beautiful. It looks like a braid, as much more surface area can effectively fit into a small area. Tiny red and blue blood vessels crisscross the sides. Of course in order to see all this clearly, the intestine must first be totally cleaned out, which is probably the less pleasant part of the whole deal. Some fasting is involved, anything red, like a tomato, or a seed or nut that might block the view, is to be avoided, and in the last 12 hours before the test, a liquid laxative that spikes 64 ounces of Gatorade is ingested. I was advised to wear loose and comfortable clothing and to leave cash and jewelry at home. Upon arrival, I was given two of those infamous hospital gowns, one to face front and the other the rear. My clothes were secured in a locker, and after a thorough history was unhurriedly taken, the nurse placed an intravenous (IV) line into my arm.
After my first experience, I chose to be fully sedated this time. I was given the good news, that all was well, when I awoke. As a result of the sedation, however, I could not just get up and drive but needed to be accompanied by a companion. In my case it was my son, who could steer me through the hallway and into the car, then drive me home. Shortly after I arrived back in the kitchen, I realized I was ravenous and began refilling my intestine. There is a mild bit of bloating after the test as a result of the air that is added, but that is not particularly uncomfortable and disappears within hours. I was advised not to drive a car, operate any machinery or power tools (unlikely), drink any alcoholic beverages or make any important decisions until the following day. There are other forms of the colonoscopy that are somewhat less invasive, but my understanding is that this variant is the most thorough and therefore the most desirable. As for the silver lining? I did appear to lose a couple of pounds, at least for now.

t was five years since I had a colonoscopy, so I made an appointment to repeat the procedure. It was not a date on the calendar I was looking forward to. I understand the importance of this test for me, so I did what I had to do. My dad died of intestinal cancer, as did several of his siblings, so the family warning is clear. Had this test been available at the time he was stricken, and his cancer discovered, I have little doubt that my dad, robust and By Leah S. Dunaief aathletic man, would have otherwise lived a longer life than his 70 years. A 2015 German study published in the European Journal of Cancer confirmed that colonoscopy screening “will lead to substantial reductions in

the colorectal cancer burden.” So what is a colonoscopy? I write to explain the test in the hopes of encouraging any readers who might be postponing and avoiding that appointment to take care of that little task once they turn 50. It is my understanding that in most cases, health insurance will cover the costs, which in itself is evidence of the importance of the test. And the experience is not so awful. In fact there is, so to speak, a silver lining, but more about that later. Here are the details. A flexible tube, called a colonoscope, with a video camera on the end that is connected to a large screen in the room, is inserted through the rectum and allows the gastroenterologist to examine the inside of the large intestine. The physician then searches for any abnormalities such as polyps, which can turn into cancer, and usually removes them. The scope rides on a cushion of air that is provided, kind of like a maglev train moves along smoothly without touching the ground through magnetic levitation. The actual procedure takes only
