North Shore researchers and locals plead to school districts for later start times BY KYLE BARR AND RITA J. EGAN KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM, RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Come September, middle and high school students across the North Shore will wake up to the harsh sound of alarms, sometimes hours before the sun will rise. Some will wake up late, and rush in and out of the shower, sometimes not having time to eat before they make it to the bus stop, often in the dark where the cicadas continue to buzz and the crickets chirp. Port Jefferson high schoolers will shuffle through the front doors before 7:20 a.m. Students at Ward Melville High School will hear the first bell at 7:05, while Comsewogue students will be in their seats at 7:10. Some scientists across the North Shore have said that needs to change.

Brendan Duffy has worked in St. Charles Hospital’s Sleep Disorders Center for nearly a decade, coming out of working at Stony Brook University as a sleep technician. As he worked in the field, he started seeing significant connections between the effectiveness of individuals during the day and how much sleep they got the night before. For teens, he said, the importance is all the greater. Sleep, he said, has a direct impact on risk-taking versus making smart choices, potential drug use, obesity and depression. “The science is irrefutable,” he said. “Basically, anything you do, whether it’s mentally or physically — it doesn’t directly cause [these harmful decisions], but there’s connections and links.” While some parents would simply tell their kids to get off their phone or computer and go to bed, scientists have said the bodies of young people, specifically teenagers, have internal clocks that are essentially set two hours back. Even if a young person tries to fall asleep at 9 p.m., he or she will struggle to slumber. Duffy said scientists call it the delayed sleep phase, and it directly affects the timing of the body’s melatonin production. During sleep, the body enters what’s called “recovery processes,” which will regulate certain hormones in the brain and effectively flush all waste products from daily brain activity. Without enough sleep, these processes do not have time to work. That is not to mention rapid eye movement sleep. REM sleep is a period during the night where heart rate and breathing quickens, and dreams become more intense. Lauren Hale, a sleep researcher and professor of preventive medicine at Stony Brook University, called this period critical to sleep. The longest period of REM happens in the latest part of the sleep cycle, the one deprived by waking up early. “For decades, scientists have known young people are sleep deprived,” she said. “It’s not that they can get by on six or seven hours of sleep … teenagers are the most at risk of not getting the LATER SCHOOL START TIMES Continued on A5

Legislators deride red light camera report

Public Works Committee to vote on extending the program Aug. 29

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The future of red-light cameras in Suffolk County remains up in the air. Legislators took issue with a report on the county’s red-light camera program in a meeting Aug. 26. It left some with more questions than answers regarding the divisive program as they prepare for a vote that could extend the program’s lifespan this Thursday, Aug. 29. The countywide report carried out by Brookhaven-based L.K. McLean Associates found that the number of total crashes at 100 intersections with red-light cameras increased by nearly 60 percent from 2015 through 2017, compared to the time period (2007-09) before the cameras were installed beginning in 2010. The study found that at red-light intersections the number of crashes exceeded projections by 42 percent in total. Also, it found that a total of 17 fatal crashes occurred at red-light intersections for the duration of the report. Crashes that resulted in

injuries decreased by nearly 11 percent, while the number of rear-end crashes increased by 46 percent. Officials from the consulting firm presented the report, which cost the county $250,000, to the county Legislature’s Public Works Committee Revenue Revenue Name Code 2643 Red Light Camera Fines 2644

long-term health problems such as anxiety, diabetes, eating disorders and cardiovascular problems. “We’re spending a lot of money in this district to make our schools better and improve their performance, and then we undermine the kids with things like sleep deprivation,” Rosati said. “We undermine not only their health but academic performance.” Parents at the meeting agreed they need to be sympathetic to the school board, and Rosati added that she believed, based on prior experience, that the board would be willing to help. “We have to show them our support, and at the same time we have to make sure they are willing to do this and feel committed to such an Page effort, because this is not something that you do halfheartedly,” she said. Frances Hanlon, who has a sixth-grade student in Setauket Elementary School, agreed that the parents can work with the board trustees and that it wasn’t an us-versus-them issue. “We can’t be, ‘We know better than you and why aren’t you?’” Hanlon said. “We all have to work on this together and that’s what’s going to make a change.” Rosati and those in attendance are set to survey how many families are in the district and, when the school year begins, will start a petition for those in favor of late start times to sign. Among the suggestions parents had were bringing the late school start presentation that Rosati created to the school board and PTA meetings throughout the district, with further plans to record and send it by email to parents. One mother also suggested that high school students join the parents at BOE meetings. Rosati said she would also like to have experts such as Van Gilder and Hale present a talk for the board trustees. “We can use the help of these professionals to inform the board that there is really solid scientiﬁc evidence, and we’re not just doing this because we’re lazy and don’t want to get up early in the morning,” Rosati said. “We’re doing this because we care about our children’s mental health and academic achievement.”

LATER SCHOOL START TIMES

Editorial comment

Reaction from districts

Both of Duffy’s kids are already graduates of the Port Jefferson School District, and he has yet to present in front of the school board, saying he wants to gain more traction in the community before bringing it to school ofﬁcials. He has been trying to get support through posts on social media. “It really can’t come just from me, it has to come from the community,” he said. Though Hale has gone in front of school boards at Shoreham-Wading River and a committee in Smithtown, she lives in Northport and has two young girls at elementary school level. She has also written editorials in scientiﬁc journals about the topic. When Rosati attended a Three Village board of education meeting in June, she said a few trust-

A22

ees told her that starting high school later in the day could lead to eliminating some of the music programs and teams may not be able to compete against neighboring schools in sporting games. After her appearance before the school board, she said she researched a number of schools on Long Island, including Jericho High School which starts at 9 a.m. and saw that they could still manage to have music programs and play schools at sports with different start times. A statement from the Three Village School District said it had commissioned a lengthy discussion regarding school start times, but while it was in support of the research, it identified negative impacts to the athletic programs, transportation, BOCES offerings and elementary music. The district said it also conducted an informal survey of a small portion of the student population, who said they were not in favor of later starts, but Three Village added it was only used to gather anecdotal information. There are a few things parents can do to aid their child’s sleep beyond the later start. Rosati offered some tips, including regular bedtimes, providing balanced meals, curfew on screen times, and limiting extracurricular activities and the intake of sugar and caffeine in the evening hours. She and her husband have tried their best to follow those guidelines, but she said they still kept their daughter home multiple days due to sleep deprivation last academic year. “We should not be put in the position to choose between education and health for our kids,” Rosati said. When asked, Shoreham-Wading River, Port Jefferson and Northport school districts all said they were not currently looking into later start times. Still, Hale said despite her frustrations with the reaction from some districts she’s continuing to argue for later start times. “We need to work together with communities so that parents and teachers and school board members understand this is for the benefit of the students and the community,” she said. “You don’t have to look hard to see the benefits of this.” Rosati plans to host another meeting Sept. 10 at the Emma S. Clark Library in Setauket from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

State/Town

Town highway department: We have no equipment money BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Following passage of two major bills to support local roadways, state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) and Assemblyman Steve Stern (R-Northport) joined the Town of Huntington Highway Superintendent Kevin Orelli at the Huntington Highway Department to emphasize the importance of improving conditions for Huntington’s highways and drivers. The first set of bills, S.4363 and A.6547, raises the limits on capital expenditures used for the repair and improvement of highways in the town from $400,000 to $1,000,000, bringing it in line with neighboring municipalities. The second set, S.5422 and A.1235, protects drivers by expanding the state’s liability for damages suffered by individuals due to defects in state highways. Orelli stressed the fact that the capital expenditure bill is not about getting more money from the state, adding it instead addresses an archaic rule that prevents the Highway Department from spending more than $400,000 in one year on equipment spending. The town, he said in a telephone interview, has fallen behind and is badly in need of new equipment, which is funded by the town and taxpayers.

“I thank the legislators for their work,” Orelli said. “It’s a step in the right direction, but I have no money.” The town allocated no monies for equipment in this year’s budget, he said. “We don’t have the money we need to do the job properly. We can’t do what we need to do,” he said. The department recently retired around five snowplows and has been using antiquated equipment to repair potholes, It lacks basic machinery such as a chip truck, pay loader and a brine truck.

perintendent said, costs $408,000. The Highway Department, he said, has been the department that gets budget cuts. Over time, it’s gradually fallen behind. The department once employed 300 people, but now operates with a staff of 150, Orelli said. The highway building itself, he said, is old and has too low of a clearance for some trucks to park inside for repair work. State lawmakers said that they understand the situation has been decades in the making. “These bills are important protections to allow safe and swift repair of our local roadways and to our motorists,” Gaughran said. “S.4363 modernizes an arcane statute and allows the town to respond quickly and appropriately during an emergency.” Stern agrees. “The bill helps ensure that the Huntington highway superintendent has the resources necessary to maintain the quality and safety of our roadways by updating an arcane section of the law that had not been changed in more than 40 years,” Stern said in an email response. The proposed budget increase brings Huntington in line with neighboring towns including Smithtown, which has a $800,000 limit and a sizably smaller population. Huntington’s population as of the 2010 census was 203,264 population. Smithtown’s as of 2010 was 117,801. Once the governor signs the capital expenditure bill, the town will need to decide how to pay for upgrades. “It is my intention to meet with each town board member and ask for a substantial increase in the highway tax,” Orelli said. “As you are probably aware, it is difficult from a political perspective to raise taxes. Keeping this in mind, I am asking the Town Board to put this issue up for a voter referendum and let the taxpayers decide whether or not they want to increase their investment in our infrastructure.” Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) said that he supports improvements. “It is encouraging to hear that the state passed the legislation, which the Town Board urged them to pass earlier this year, to support increased funding for highway equipment,” he

said in an email request for comment. “I have always supported measures funding road rehabilitation and equipment funding for highway and road maintenance. The Town Board failed to approve equipment funding at our March meeting, but I sponsored the resolution funding the purchase of up to $400,000 in new highway equipment, and I sponsored and voted for up to $4,750,000 in road and traffic safety rehabilitation measures for 2019, which passed at the same meeting.” Of those funds $3 million were used for paving, $1 million for drainage with the rest going toward sidewalks, pavement markings and traffic signal and traffic calming improvements.

State liability

State roads are maintained separately and unrelated to the Town of Huntington’s roadway situation. The second set of legislator’s bills address the state-imposed liability limits for damages caused by poor state road conditions. Currently, motorists who suffer damages due to defects on local roads may pursue damages against the locality at any time during the year if the municipality had advance notice of the defect, according to Gaughran’s office. Yet, motorists who suffered damages due to defects in state roads can pursue damages against the state only if the incident occurred between May 1 and Nov. 15. If the incident occurs between Nov. 16 and April 30, motorists are out of luck. “S.5422 protects local motorists on state roadways, because drivers should not be stuck paying out-of-pocket for damages caused by a defect in a state highway that should have been repaired.” The state has developed several systems to combat pothole problems. Motorists are encouraged to call 1-800-POTHOLE to report a pothole on Long Island’s state roads. The state reports that it receives hundreds of pothole reports through these phone calls, and through letters, emails and social media. New York uses 5,000 tons of asphalt for road repair on Long Island, according to New York DOT spokesman Stephen Canzoneri. “The NY State Department of Transportation aggressively fills potholes throughout the year on more than 4,000 lane miles of state highways on Long Island,” Canzoneri said. “In the winter, we enlist additional crews, who work days, nights, and weekends.” But, the current arrangement lets the state off the hook during crucial months. “The bill [A.1235] would provide a more effective way to hold New York State accountable to motorists with claims for unsafe road conditions that cause damage or injury,” Stern said. “It will help provide efficiency, responsiveness and accountability. These measures together will certainly help to protect our suburban quality of life.” The governor’s office did not respond to repeated request for comment on the two bills.

Hospital reaps $600,000 through golf tournaments This year’s Huntington Hospital Golf Classic raised a record $600,000, which will go toward capital improvements of the hospital’s nationally rated orthopedic unit and support investments in specialized equipment for advanced surgical oncology. More than 350 golfers and benefactors participated at The Creek Club in Locust Valley and the Nassau Country Club in Glen Cove followed by a beachfront surf and turf dinner and live auction. This year’s honorees were Sal Ferro of Alure Home Improvements and Kristopher Amplo of JC Steel. Ferro, president and CEO of Alure Home Improvements, has been involved with eight projects for ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” He is also chair of the LI Builders Institute. Amplo is vice president of Bohemia-based JC Steel, which has completed numerous projects for Northwell Health — including Huntington

Hospital’s new emergency department. “We are extremely grateful to Sal and Kris for their generosity and support, as well as all of the participants in this year’s Golf Classic, making it the most successful with the highest amount raised,” said Dr. Nick Fitterman, the hospital’s executive director. “The funding will help us further our vision in creating a cancer center in our community that focuses on prevention, treatment and survivorship and purchase state-of-the-art equipment needed in surgical oncology.” Northwell Health is New York State’s largest health care provider and private employer, with 23 hospitals, about 750 outpatient facilities and more than 13,600 affiliated physicians. Northwell cares for over 2 million people annually in the New York metro area and beyond, thanks to philanthropic support from local communities.

red light cameras Continued from A3

executive of L.K. McLean Associates, said they based their parameters from the New York State Department of Transportation. “The DOT in their crash data analysis and summaries identify an intersection crash as one that occurs within 10 meters or 33 feet from the center of the intersection,” he said. The consultants for the report expanded the crash area to within 200 feet of the center of the intersection, but some legislators questioned that decision and argued it could have captured crashes that fall in line with the definition of an intersection crash. Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said she was deeply disappointed in the report’s findings and criticized the firm with not looking at the link between distracted driving and crashes at red-light intersections. “What has not been mentioned at all during your report is distracted driving,” she said. “I have a traffic safety issue in my district; I have two of the most dangerous roads on Long Island — [routes] 25 and 25A.” DiBiase responded by saying it is difficult to prove what exactly caused a crash from the data. Their goal was to make the study objective as possible and said distracted driving falls in a gray area as it is difficult to prove due to factors like lack of witnesses or evidence.

“Distracted driving is why a lot of these accidents are happening,” Anker said. “We are here to try and understand how to make this program better. We know it’s saving lives, but we also know it’s also creating problems.” The red-light program has generated more than $20 million in revenue annually for the county. Legislator Robert Trotta (R-Fort Salonga), who has long been a major critic of red-light cameras, said the program is a money grab and a tax on the taxpayers. He also criticized the consultants for only mentioning that fatal accidents at red-light camera intersections were lower than projected, and not also including data on fatal crashes that occurred at intersections without red-light cameras. “You can take these reports and throw them in the garbage can, it’s a joke — literally embarrassing,” Trotta said. “Everything here is jaded to make this program look good, it is a $32 million sham on the people of this county.” Despite the lukewarm response to its report, the firm recommended continuing the red-light program, pointing to a decrease in crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities as well as a reduction in left-turn crashes. The Public Works Committee is expected to vote Thursday, Aug. 29, on whether it will extend the countywide red-light camera program for another five years. If it were to pass it will go to the Legislature for a vote that could take place as soon as next Wednesday, Sept. 4.

Opinion

Let teenagers sleep Parents across the North Shore are hoping their teenagers will soon get to sleep in — even during the school year. Many studies now point to the benefits of teenagers starting high school later in the day, and some residents are delving into the research and discussing the issue with other parents. It may take work, but we think the idea is important and we hope district officials will keep their minds open. Studies have shown that teenagers do better when their first class starts after 8:30 a.m. Start times in our coverage area can vary with East Setauket’s Ward Melville High School’s first class bell ringing at 7:05 a.m. Many other high schools start well before 8 a.m. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day for teens “to promote optimal health.” The reason why many teenagers don’t get the recommended hours of sleep each night may have nothing to do with tons of homework, juggling activities and spending time on electronic devices. It may just be that children tend to fall asleep a few hours later when they become teenagers due to biological changes. The outcome when you add early school start times to late nights? Many teenagers walk around like zombies, constantly sleep deprived. Insufficient sleep, which can cause drowsiness and impaired memory, can affect an adolescent’s academic and athletic success, as well as health and safety. Scientists have found that over the long haul, sleep deprivation in one’s younger years can lead to more severe problems in the future, including obesity and engaging in risky behaviors such as drinking and drug use. It’s an invalid excuse to say kids need to get used to waking up early to prepare for the workforce. It’s equally detrimental to call out young people for spending too much time up late. The science says these rhythms are to be expected. In the past, it was considered beneficial for high schoolers to come home after school earlier, so they could babysit their younger siblings. Today, most high school students are involved in sports and clubs, and aren’t available to help out with this task. And with the existence of after-school programs, there are many opportunities to make life easier for working parents. An earlier morning for elementary students could also prove beneficial to working parents, who need to get kids on the bus before work. Furthermore, teenagers are able to get to the bus stop without the supervision of their mothers or fathers. While it may be true that a change in start times can create issues when it comes to scheduling sports games, schools start at different time all across the leagues. Some student-athletes are already waiting around for games to start after the last bell rings. The most important thing, beyond both sports and academics, is a kid’s mental health and well-being. While it may not be possible for all high schools to start at the same time to create the perfect scenario for sporting events, it is feasible for each district to listen to parents and, more importantly, find a start time that will help their students reach the fullest potential. The ways of the past don’t always pave the way to future success.

Letters to the Editor

St. Anthony’s busing issue addressed

I would like to thank the following Northport School District Admninistrators: Mr. Robert Banzer, Mr. Robert Howard and Ms.Trish McGrane, as well as the entire Northport Board of Education for taking the time to listen to my concerns regarding the proposed changes to the St. Anthony’s bus

schedule for the upcoming school year. I appreciate that my calls and emails were answered, and that I was given the opportunity to speak at last week’s board meeting. In light of the various safety, legal, and educational concerns raised by the proposed changes, I believe the school

district make the correct decision to reverse the proposed changes and return to direct service. Please know that your swift attention to this matter is acknowledged and appreciated by all St. Anthony’s students and their families. Tracy D’Alonzo Northport

Voting is the underpinning of democracy I regularly depend on The Village Times Herald for my local news and information. I hope my letter about an important federal concern is read and acted on by as many of your readers as possible. Our democracy is in deep trouble. The founders, and the Constitution they produced, gave us a guide, but it could guarantee nothing. They depended on our citizenry to implement and protect one of the greatest experiment in government organization ever attempted — The United States of America. The main and most essential underpinning of our democracy is our

vote. We must work against suppression of the vote, gerrymandering, fake news and election machine tampering. The House of Representatives has just passed a bill to appropriate $600 million to aid the states in guaranteeing the correct count of our vote in 2020. It is meant to be spent on upgrading local election machines and election board procedures so that no one, no other country, can contaminate our legitimate ballot counts, as Russia attempted in 2016. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has refused to bring the bill up for a vote in the Senate.

We can do something to protect our democracy right now. I suggest that each of you who read this, call Chuck Schumer (D-NY) or Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) or both. Tell them to bring the House bill up for a vote, to make our voting machines secure, to verify the vote in 2020. Call 833-413-5906 and Common Cause will connect you. There will be an event all over the country Sept. 17 to support this. You can follow it online at SecureOurVote. US/take-action. Letters to the editor are important too. Rita Edwards South Setauket

The evolution of news Introduced in 1949, regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, the Fairness Doctrine required holders of a radio or television broadcast license to suspend entertainment and host independent, nonprofit programs reporting local, national and international news, sports and weather, for periods of no less than 10 minutes at least twice a day. This policy was dismantled, through a series of court battles in 1986, in favor of the

present policy of free market journalism. Justices of the high court of appeals in Washington, D.C., concluded that news was a form of entertainment and corporations holding licenses had a right to profit from it. Bias, right or left, is profitable entertainment. The news (story) will use tools, of conflict/resolution, from the fiction writer’s tool kit to get us to keep watching past the commercial or to read on. In today’s market “who, what, where

and when” is the only unbiased news you will get. TBR News Media is comprised of six community newspapers that focus on local news, and I applaud them for it. The editorial published Aug. 22 regarding local civic groups needing our participation is a case in point. I had not thought of that. I thank them for a good piece of unbiased writing.

Opinion

A modern update to Murphy’s law

ou know Murphy’s law, right? Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Well, it seems that we need to update Murphy’s law. To that end, please ﬁnd a few of my experiential and observational corollaries. • Your kids know more about electronics than you do. Yes, I know there are information technology people who are keeping up with the latest apps, some of whom may acD. None tually write the of the above apps. But most BY DANIEL DUNAIEF of those people stop using their phones or looking

at their work when they go home. Your kids are using them all the time. They are professional app users, while you likely know one app extremely well. • You will receive a message from your airline when it doesn’t help. I appreciate how airlines, and even Expedia, offer to send you updates on your flights. Most of the time, however, the text that the plane is delayed two hours will arrive just after the car that’s brought you to the airport pulls away from the curb. • Following the rules at the doctor’s office, the DMV or anywhere else you might be a captive audience rarely works. I recently went to a doctor’s office half an hour early because the email requested that I arrive then for my first appointment. I waited more than an hour for a consultation that lasted a few minutes. • You’re likely to leave out a critical word at a critical time in a critical email. Let’s say someone proposes an idea at work that you find wholly objectionable and unworkable.

You respond: “I can agree with this idea.” Forgetting the word “not” then means that your boss, who proposed the idea in the ﬁrst place, now gives you ownership of a process that is even worse than it seemed when you ﬁrst read the email through your sleep-deprived eyes. • The cute baby that made you smile in the airport or the bus station will be sitting behind you for hours. In the few moments when he’s not screaming, he’s kicking your chair right behind your head, rendering the noise cancellation headphones you bought utterly useless. • In the world of TMI (too much information), you’re likely to hear something that makes you wish you had a plastic bubble. Someone near you on a subway will be talking to his friend on the phone about a strange rash that’s spreading everywhere while coughing violently into the air. • The cable or appliance repair person who gave you a four-hour window when he might arrive at your house will come at the beginning

of the window, the end of the window or in those three minutes you stepped out to get a cup of coffee just down the street. When you return to ﬁnd the note indicating how sorry he was that he missed you, you have an adult tantrum which terriﬁes the neighbors and their kids, who will no longer come to your house during Halloween. • Complaining about the performance of an athlete who never seems to live up to his or her potential means that athlete will do something incredible within moments of your most vocal complaint. That will be the case unless you’re complaining because you secretly believe that will lead to a winning effort. In that case, the athlete will meet your low expectations. • The year you move to a place where you’re assured there are no hurricanes, you watch the familiar sight of wind tearing through your backyard, as a hurricane fells trees you have owned for all of two weeks. Ah, cypress tree, we hardly knew you.

it’s a cliché, but one with signiﬁcance. To be fully aware at any given point of where we are and what is happening around us is to enjoy a full existence. Feeling the sand give way underfoot during a walk on the beach, hearing the calls of seagulls over the water as they search for dinner, feeling the soft wind coming up from the southwest as it blows against one’s cheek, smelling the salt in the air as the waves break against the shore — all of those experiences enhance the present moment. “Let it go,” offers another. Now we are getting into deeper discussion. We carry guilt to some degree, all humans do. We also carry anger, or fear, perhaps. We may struggle with resentment, envy, an affront, disappointment, hurt, traumatic memories and any number of other negative emotions. Have we learned after all this time to let them go? Or at least have we learned how to work through them so they lessen in our hearts and minds? “I have learned how much it pleases me to make connections,” was another response. “If I am somewhere and meet a stranger who is striving for a goal, and I know something

or someone else who could perhaps help that person to realize his or her ambition, I enjoy connecting them.” That comment made me think of one of my favorite analogies, that of comparing life to a game of billiards. We glance off each other as we move along, perhaps exchanging a few words in just a few moments that have meaning. I remember one day waiting for the light at Ninth Avenue in Manhattan on my way to the Lincoln Tunnel and New Jersey. How many times I had made that trip, and always the same way. But this one time I noticed that the pickup truck waiting next to me was turning in the opposite direction despite having New Jersey plates. So I rolled down my window and called out to the driver, asking where to turn. He yelled back his answer, the light changed and we both drove away. But his way shortened my trip by several minutes. In that brief exchange, he changed my life positively. How meaningful even the briefest connection can be. As you might tell, we had a good time at our mini-reunion.

An insightful reunion This week there was a mini-reunion at my house of college classmates who happened to be in the area. One actually came in from Arizona, but she was making her annual New York visit anyway and included a trip to my house from the city. It was great fun to see the nine women who arrived for lunch and chatter. As classmates we do share a lifetime bond and, as contemporaries, we share a lot of history and culture. We don’t have to stop mid-sentence Between and explain our obscure references you and me to younger listeners BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF because everyone gets the point. Each of us is curious to see how the others have aged. We mentally compare wrinkles,

double chins, weight gains. We talk about our children, our grandchildren, our husbands and, in a couple of cases, ex-husbands. We tell each other about good plays we have seen, worthwhile books we have read, interesting trips we have taken. But these are superﬁcialities. What we really want from each other is to share wisdom. After all, we have been around the block a few times by now and hopefully have learned a few things in the process. So we ask the question of the group: At this stage of life, what is a most important insight you have had? One answers, “To be appreciative.” I can certainly relate to that. To wake up in the morning and know you have the gift of a new day, and if you are lucky, to do with that time as you wish. Some who came still work, others are retired. Most people who come to reunions, I think, are basically happy with their lives. So since the miserable ones don’t come, those who do make it ﬁnd common currency in appreciation. “I have had a good life so far, I’ve been very lucky,” is a frequent refrain. “To be in the moment,” posits another.

Town renames park to honor civic leader Alissa Sue Taff Government officials, school district representatives, civic leaders and community residents gathered Aug. 26 for a ceremony officially naming Sweet Hollow Park in memory of longtime civic leader Alissa Sue Taff. Taff, who died of cancer Aug. 14 at age 68, was a driving force in creating the park, the Town of Huntington’s newest. The park was the result of an innovative, creative partnership among the town, a private developer and a Hindu group that had purchased the 8-acre Meyers Farm, so it could erect a temple on the site. The town eventually bought the site, transferred the development rights from 5 of the 8 acres to a separate parcel in Melville, which it rezoned to allow construction of the Hindu temple and a 260-unit affordable senior condominium community. Taff, a former

Half Hollow Hills school board president and longtime president of the Civic Association of Sweet Hollow also served on the advisory committee that recommended the park’s features, most notably a sculpture, entitled “Community,” that commemorates the cooperative effort that created the park, which opened in 2017. “If you look around here, you see different groups represented and you get a full picture of Alissa’s impact on our community,” said Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D), who joined with Councilwoman Joan Cergol (D) to present the resolution in which the Town Board voted to rename the park as Alissa Sue Taff Sweet Hollow Park. Cuthbertson, who moderated the program, added, “She was hardworking and dedicated,

and this park is a testament to a very, very special event, where civic leaders, religious leaders and town leaders came together.” “This renaming is a well-deserved but bittersweet recognition of Alissa’s instrumental role in the formation of Sweet Hollow Park and the special partnership between the town, the temple and the community,” Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) said. “Look at what has been accomplished today for the good of the community because the town and the temple listened, and it was Alissa’s voice that demanded their attention.” Cergol chronicled her longtime involvement with Taff, dating back to the 1990s when the councilwoman was working in the private sector and joined with Taff and others to preserve the historic Oheka Castle. Cergol described Taff as a

“remarkable force of a woman,” and detailed their final collaboration: The wording on the plaque to be installed next to the sculpture describing the process that created the park. “Her mark remains in so many places and public spaces like this one: Alissa Sue Taff Sweet Hollow Park,” Cergol said. “Her actions, her work, are forever written all over this park and elsewhere in our town.” Attending the ceremony were Taff’s husband Dr. Ross Taff, daughter Tara Levy, son-in-law Jake Levy and their infant son Atlas. “I hope that other people will be inspired by her efforts and realize that one person really does make a difference,” Tara Levy said. “Our family is very honored that her legacy as a civic leader will live on in this beautiful space.” —Compiled by Donna Deedy
