Superintendent James Polansky gave a District contribution to TRS to increase presentation at the Jan. 9 board of education meeting to outline how the potential impact of newly approved federal tax laws, the state’s contractual salaries and benefits. The district budget deficit and the district’s increasing also will be subject to an increasing contribucosts could significantly affect Huntington tion rate from 9.8 percent up to between 10.5 and 11.8 percent of its payroll to the state’s students and parents.

Dr. Santhosh Paulus with Shandra Woworuntu at Huntington Hospital

Hospital launches pilot to identify trafficking victims

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Huntington Hospital is taking the first step toward helping its health care workers better identify and aid human trafficking victims in the community.

Dr. Santhosh Paulus, a hospitalist at Huntington Hospital, will launch a pilot program for Northwell Health aiming to train hospital staff how to recognize and then provide support to human trafficking victims.

“Six months ago, when I was asked to join a human trafficking task force I said, ‘Gee, that’s interesting. I’m here 19 years and I’ve never come across a patient involved in human trafficking,’” said Judy Richter, a social worker at Huntington Hospital. “We have been missing quite a few patients as we had not been trained in how to recognize the signs or what we can do to help them.”

In December 2017, the former owner of the Thatched Cottage in Centerport was indicted on federal charges for allegedly illegally trafficking workers from the Philippines.

Paulus and his approximately 30-member task force is undergoing training from Restore NYC, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to end trafficking in New York. The task force will then train the hospital’s emergency room department and ambulatory center in recognizing signs of both current victims and potential victims.

“Labor trafficking in agriculture or the restaurant industry looks so different from sex trafficking,” Paulus said, noting human trafficking occurs in more than 25 different trades. “There are so many avenues of how you can be trafficked, there’s no simple answer.”

Some signs physicians will look for are patients seeking treatment accompanied by another individual who is holding onto a patient’s documents and identification for them, answering all questions for them,

avoiding eye contact and certain tattoos.

“Human trafficking victims are hard to identify because it’s hidden, you cannot see it with plain sight,” said Shandra Woworuntu, a member of the U.S. Council on Human Trafficking. “Sometime, they walk around.

When [my captors] escorted me around, nobody saw me.”

As a sex trafficking survivor, Woworuntu spoke to hospital staff Jan. 12 to share her personal perspective. The former bank manager and money market trader came to the United States at age 34, when religious persecution made her feel unsafe in her home country of Indonesia. She arrived at John F. Kennedy Airport through an employment agency that promised her a $5,000-a-month job working in a Chicago hotel. Instead, her passport was seized and she was abducted into a sex trafficking ring operating out of Queens. “[My captor] demanded from me $30,0000 to be free,” Woworuntu said. “I was compliant due to the abuse, the violence, guns and knife.”

She would make her escape by climbing through a second-story bathroom window.

However, Woworuntu said she faced skepticism when initially seeking help from New York City police, churches and even the Indonesian consulate. When brought to a hospital, she recalled screaming as physicians examined her because she didn’t speak any English and wasn’t fully informed what procedures were being done.

“Even if I came from a place that was dirty, I am still human,” Woworuntu said.

“We need to promote humane work in hospitals. This is the front line to identify victims.”

As a survivor, Woworuntu hoped sharing her story with Paulus and other Huntington Hospital would help staff members to treat victims with dignity. She now runs Mentari, a 501(c)(3) organization in New York that provides support, basic necessities and vocational training for trafficking victims.

History made: Toulon sworn in as sheriff 

Toulon first African-American nonjudicial elected official in Suffolk

He spent 22 years working at Rikers



Cuomo administered oath of office

BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

KEVIN REDDING

Just days before the nation celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day and his famous dream, Errol Toulon (D) made history by taking the oath as Suffolk County sheriff, making him Long Island’s first AfricanAmerican elected official in a nonjudicial countywide position.

Toulon, 55, was officially sworn in by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) Jan. 12 during an inauguration ceremony held at Van Nostrand Theater on the Brentwood campus of Suffolk County Community College. Also in attendance were his wife Christina, family members, friends and town and county elected officials, including County Executive Steve Bellone (D), recently swornin District Attorney Tim Sini (D), Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) and former sheriff Vincent DeMarco (C). A former Rikers Island corrections officer and captain who emerged victorious against Republican candidate Larry Zacarese after just two months of campaigning, Toulon entered the race determined to utilize his more than 35 years in corrections and law enforcement to tackle gangs and the opioid crisis, while creating a stronger environment within the county’s jails.

“I have to say, this is a long way from

my days being a batboy with the New York Yankees,” Toulon laughed, referring to his two-year stint in the 1970s serving on the team. “For me, this race was a whirlwind, but this job is one I’ve been preparing for my entire life.”

After serving at Rikers Island from 1982 to 2004, starting in 2012, Toulon worked for two years in Bellone’s administration as assistant deputy county executive for public safety. In 2014 he was named deputy commissioner of operations for the New York City Department of Corrections. In the midst of his career, he has also beaten cancer twice — in 1996 and 2004.

“He is a man who has confronted great challenges in his life,” Bellone said. “I have personally seen him face these difficulties with incredible grace and dignity and fortitude. He has confronted all these challenges and has perseverance, which is exactly what you want to have in a leader.

I am proud to be here today to support a friend, a colleague and a leader.”

During the ceremony, Cuomo called attention to the historical significance of Toulon’s victory.

“It says something about the people of Suffolk County, says something about the progress of society, says something about acceptance and it says that we’re one step closer to Martin Luther King’s dream of one day judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin,” Cuomo said. “This sheriff is different in a number of ways, but the first precedent he sets is that he’s the most qualified man to ever serve in this position. I am selfishly overjoyed by Sheriff Toulon’s election because in government, job number one is public safety.”

Toulon assured the cheering audience he is committed to making the county a better and safer place for all, with plans

He also said the office, under his leadership, will routinely participate in community events, civic association meetings and will do everything in its power to prevent young people from going down the wrong path.

“I am ready to work and I am ready to

lead,” Toulon said. “We have to ensure that we deliver as a society and assist those who need help and keep those who do harm off our streets. These gangs might think they’re tough, these gang members might think they have all the answers and can outsmart us, but they’re going to have a lot of time to think about their decisions when they’re sitting behind bars because they were no match for the men and women in the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office.”

Tigers take come-from-behind win

Before scare on the court, Northport erases 12-point deficit to tie East Islip in the League I standings Northport 69 East Islip 66

By Bill landon

BILL LANDON

Down a dozen points, Northport didn’t panic, but the excitement following a Curtis Lafond dunk on a Tigers scoring streak to put the team ahead didn’t last long. Central Islip’s Darryan Fuentes, who fouled Lafond on the two-hand jam, was hurt on the play, hitting his head on the floor, lying motionless.

“Your heart skips a beat when you see a player lying on the floor like that,” Lafond said during his boys basketball team’s 69-66 win that moves both teams to 5-1 in League I. “But we stayed strong, and it’s our depth and the strength of our bench that won it tonight.”

The game was delayed for about 20 minutes as Fuentes was treated first by a Northport trainer and later by emergency personnel from the East Northport Fire Department. He was answering questions, diagnosed with a concussion and taken to Huntington Hospital as a precaution.

“It felt weird at first to come back and play,” Dan Melamerson said of the final 1:23, but the junior was the spark Northport needed to get back in the game.

Melamerson was put in at the start of the second half, and helped to erase a 52-45 deficit by taking inbounds passes for easy layups to close the Tigers within five.

“Dan is the ultimate competitor — he’s been such a great role player for us and he certainly

Between Melamerson and his twin brother Ian, the pair combined for 25 points.

“Down 12 points we never panicked,” said Melamerson, who scored back-to-back 3pointers to put Northport up by one with 2:27 left in regulation. “I knew our team has a lot of depth, which is one of our strengths, and we held on to it. The bench was going crazy, the crowd was going crazy; so we were in it the whole time, inched our way back and won the game.”

Northport struggled grabbing rebounds early, and Central Islip’s second attempts helped put the Redmen up 11 points with two minutes left until the close of the first half. Lafond hit a longdistance shot with a minute to go, and followed it up with an appear-

ance at the free-throw line to close within 10, and sophomore Sean Walsh swished a 3-pointer at the buzzer to close within seven as the teams headed to the locker rooms.

Late in the third, after Central Islip stretched the lead, Walsh came through with another triple to close within nine. He also handed Lafond the inbounds pass, which led to the senior’s dunk. The pair scored 18 points apiece in the win.

“We just had to stick to the plan — we couldn’t get ahead of ourselves,” Walsh said, adding that he too was shaken up after the fall.

“We had to keep our heads in it. We couldn’t play their style of basketball; we had to slow it down, pushing the ball and getting turnovers.”

Dan Melamerson finished with 13 points, his brother Ian recorded a double-double on 12 points and 12 rebounds and Lafond added 10.

“It came down to getting tough rebounds and getting those free throws at the end,” D’Eloia said.

“We had talks about how this is a game of runs — we may go up 12, and we may go down 12 —

but you keep playing Northport basketball and you grind it out and you find a way to win.”

Scouting Neighborhoods A

s you search for your next home, scouting potential neighborhoods should be a crucial step in your house search.

It is important to get a sense of a new neighborhood to ensure it complements your preferred lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and your wallet. So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve walked through a potential home and parked in its driveway; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only achieved a glimpse of the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characteristic and personality.

Really getting to know a neighborhood requires a little extra time and attention.

TEST DRIVE YOUR COMMUTE Before deciding on a new home, take a test

drive of your potential commute. How far are you willing to drive back and forth to work each day?

It can be easy to assume an answer to this question, but it is entirely different to actually live it. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfectâ&#x20AC;? place may not seem so perfect if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like you spend much time there.

TAKE A WALK AFTER SCHOOL Walking your new potential neighborhood is a great way to get a feel for it.

Take your stroll soon after schools get out and see how many children are walking around, how traffic picks up (or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t), and just generally how active your neighbors are during the day.

Are there restaurants, cafes or shops near by? A lot of through traffic? All these things will help you gauge the atmosphere in the neighborhood.

COUNT â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;FOR SALEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; SIGNS Drive through the streets of a neighborhood and count the number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;for saleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;foreclosureâ&#x20AC;? signs. Are there multiple signs down a single street?

While this could just be a coincidence in terms of changes of life circumstances for a group of neighbors, this also could be a sign of a potential issue.

You want to be sure you are investing in a stable neighborhood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not one that is about to turn a corner. Š99098

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

California Bungalow – A forerunner of the Craftsman style, California Bungalows offer rustic exteriors, sheltered-feeling interiors, and spacious front porches.

Cape Cod – A true classic, Cape Cod homes – square or rectangular one-story structures with gabled roofs and unornamented fronts – were among America’s first houses.

Colonial – An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, Colonial homes feature a rectangular, symmetric design, second-floor bedrooms, clapboard siding, and gabled roofs.

Contemporary – Unmistakably modern in feel, Contemporary style homes are identifiable by their odd-sized windows, lack of ornamentation, and unusual mix of wall materials.

Craftsman – Full or partial-width porches framed by tapered columns, overhanging eaves, and exposed roof rafters differentiate a Craftsman home from the similar California Bungalow.

Creole – A front wall that recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony highlights the Creole Cottage design.

Dutch Colonial – German, or “Deutsch”, settlers in Pennsylvania originated the Dutch Colonial style, dominated by a barn-like broad gambrel roof with flaring eaves.

Federal – This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek Roman culture, as its classical ornamentation around cornices, doors, and windows demonstrates.

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

Georgian – Refined and symmetrical with paired chimneys and a decorative crown, Georgian houses were named after English royalty.

Gothic Revival – English romanticism influenced this style marked by “Gothic” windows with pointed arches; exposed framing timbers; and steep, vaulted roofs.

Greek Revival – Large porches, entryway columns, and a front door surrounded by narrow rectangular windows characterize Greek Revival homes.

International – The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts, ground-to-ceiling plate glass windows, and smooth facades.

Italianate – Symmetrical bay windows in front; small chimneys set in irregular locations; tall, narrow, windows; and in some cases towers, typify Italianate houses.

Monterey – The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an adobe brick exterior and a second floor with a balcony.

National – Rooted in Native American and pre-railroad dwellings, the National style consists of a rectangular shape with sidegabled roofs or square layouts with pyramidal roofs.

Neoclassical – Recognize Neoclassical homes, which exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses, by their Ionic or Corinthian-columned porches.

Prairie – Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style house comes in two styles--boxy and symmetrical or low-slung and asymmetrical.

Pueblo – Flat roofs, parapet walls with round edges, straight-edge window frames, earth-colored stucco or adobe-brick walls, and projecting roof beams typify Pueblos.

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

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

Regency – Although they borrow from the Georgian’s classic lines, Regency homes eschew ornamentation. They’re symmetrical, two or three stories, and usually built in brick. Typically, they feature an octagonal window over the front door, one chimney at the side of the house, double-hung windows, and a hip roof.

Saltbox – This New England Colonial style gained the Saltbox nickname because its sharply sloping gable roof resembled boxes used for storing salt.

Second Empire – A Victorian style, Second Empire homes feature mansard roofs with dormer windows, molded cornices, and dec-

orative brackets under the eaves.

Shed – A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with multiple roofs sloping in different directions, which creates several geometric shapes.

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

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

Spanish Eclectic – Taking its cues from early Spanish missions, Spanish Eclectic then adds a dash of details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles.

Split Level – A Modern style, Split Level design sequesters certain living activities, such as sleeping or socializing.

Stick – Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards characterize Stick houses, which are members of the Victorian family.

Tudor – Half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more steeply pitched cross gables typify Tudor homes.

Victorian – Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture often incorporated decorative details such as brackets, spindles and patterned shingles.

OPINION Editorial

On funding and freedom

ALEX PETROSKI

While Democrats and Republicans squabble over reaching an agreement to raise the debt ceiling in the hopes of funding the government beyond Jan. 19, peoples’ lives are hanging in the balance.

Debt ceiling battles that come down to the 11th hour are nothing new in Washington. As is wont to happen in our nation’s capital, a highstakes game of chicken is currently underway. Democrats are seeking a resolution to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative while the Republicans want additional border security, which will also serve as much-needed political points for President Donald Trump (R), who promised his supporters a secure border during the 2016 campaign.

While political games often have real-life consequences, this time feels different. DACA was meant to be a temporary fix during the Obama administration to answer the complicated question regarding what to do about children brought to the United States by adults coming here illegally. It provided temporary status for approximately 800,000 people — commonly referred to as Dreamers — who fit this description, though a permanent answer to the question is still being sought. The Trump administration rescinded the action in September and, ever since, Dreamers have lived in fear of deportation from a country that has become home. Now, their status is a pawn in a political game of chess.

Similarly, reauthorization of CHIP — the Children’s Health Insurance Program — is awaiting a government funding agreement. The service provides lowcost health coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid.

In 2016, nearly 9 million children were enrolled in the program, according to www.medicaid. gov. The program covers routine checkups and immunizations, doctor visits, prescriptions, dental and vision care and emergency services for enrollees. In November 2017, the House passed a five-year reauthorization bill to keep the program running, but it never reached the Senate floor. The health of 9 million children hangs in limbo while politicians try to score points for their home team.

Obviously, for far more reasons than the fate of DACA or CHIP, a compromise needs to be reached in order to keep the government running.

Taking a funding battle to the wire is nothing new, but it is shameful that leadership from both parties are allowing these vulnerable members of our society to twist in the wind for months on end along the way.

For Democrats, erecting a border wall, or fence, to appease the president and score him a political win in exchange for a sensible resolution to DACA — and an end to the torturous waiting — would not be the end of the world. For Republicans, do 800,000 people who have contributed to our society need to be uprooted and sent home?

While we wait for both sides to grow up and compromise, families with sick kids and those looking to live the American Dream are likely going through incomprehensibly difficult times. A little compromise and compassion would go a long way.

Letters to the editor

Shame on Suozzi: Warmongering on Iran Yesterday, Representative Tom Suozzi (D-NY) got up in front of his colleagues in the House of Representatives and delivered a speech that easily could have been right out of the buildup to the Iraq War 16 years ago.

Pretending to care about the people of Iran, a common technique used to justify U.S. military interventionism over the last hundred years, Suozzi echoed the words of ultraneoconservatives like Bill Kristol, calling on the U.S. to stand with protesters in Iran. The government said a similar thing to justify regime change in Libya, yet the U.S. and its allies left Libya in utter ruins, chaos everywhere and a new slave trade thriving.

Does anyone still believe that U.S. acted out of genuine concern for the people of Libya?

How about the people of Yemen, who are being destroyed by the Saudis with U.S. weapons and aid? Or the people of Iraq or Afghanistan? Or even the people of Iran in 1953, when the U.S. helped to overthrow their democracy and impose a brutal dictator, the shah?

The list goes on and on and spans back at least as far as the Spanish-American War in 1898, when the U.S. spoke in similar ways about the people of Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.

Historian Howard Zinn once said, “if you don’t know history, it’s like you were born yesterday.”

Suozzi, and other neoconservative war hawks, are hoping the American people do not know their history, even very recent history, and are calling for actions that will inflame the situation in

the Middle East even further.

Who benefits from such a move? Certainly not the people of Iran or the people of the U.S. Perhaps the weapons makers that Suozzi has been touting in recent months?

Recent polling shows that the American people, regardless of party affiliation, are sick of American interventionism and endless war. One of the few bright spots in the Middle East in recent decades has been the nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran.

Shame on Suozzi for trying to scuttle that deal and lay the groundwork for another conflict in Iran! We have learned nothing from the Iraq debacle.

Raia: Taxes, ethics reform are top concerns As elected officials, you the taxpayer send us to Albany to implement and maintain ethical and responsible practices. If we fail, the consequences for millions of families, businesses and employees will be felt throughout our state. Now more than ever, lawmakers need to put politics aside and focus on how we are going to help protect the middle class.

Lawmakers need to focus on offsetting the federal tax plan.

This plan is an insult to the hard-working people of Long Island who are being asked to send a disproportionately high amount of their hard-earned money to Washington in order to compensate for other states.

New York State is continually burdened with some of the highest taxes in the country and passing this policy is an indication from federal lawmakers that New Yorkers do not deserve to reap the benefits they’ve worked so hard to earn.

Other states should focus on

d

sharing New York’s work ethic and not our wealth. It is pivotal that we remember the importance of protecting New Yorkers’ financial interests. Elected officials need to speak for their constituents, and not party leaders or special interest groups.

Next, I have long been a proponent of sweeping ethics reforms, both resisting special interest groups from New York City and calling for increased transparency in Albany. Last year’s extraordinary session is a prime example of Albany elites putting politics above productive policy. By not finishing session on time and focusing on party politics, the taxpayers’ money was wasted. Everything wrong with state government was highlighted in a microcosm.

These missteps were just another motivator to keep pushing for ethical reforms and a new dawn of transparency in our state government.

I am the co-sponsor of the Public Officer’s Accountability

Act (A.5864) a proposal I believe to be the most comprehensive way to fight corruption. This bill enforces numerous protections against backroom dealing and favor trading, such as the limitation of campaign funds to campaign activities and making it a crime for failure to report evidence of corruption. Among a myriad other tools provided within the bill are the ways to restore our trust in our state government.

I will continue to work for your best interests and hold all lawmakers responsible throughout this year’s budget process. I will fight for the rights of Long Island residents to have the highest quality of life, because at the end of the day the most resonating voice is that of the citizen, not the government or the officials who represent it.

On becoming older than my father

H

ow old were you when you kissed your first partner, had your first alcoholic drink, met the person of your dreams, had your first child, dealt with your first serious loss, got your first big job or made your first million?

We can use age to motivate us, give us a sense of time and place, and allow us to hear the alarm bells, or to hit the snooze button for the next phase of our lives.

We compare ourselves to those around us to see if we’re approaching the landmarks at the

By Daniel Dunaief right pace. We take pride in our accomplishments, or in the accomplishments of our children, as in, “My son started walking when he was 7 months old.”

D. None of the above

The comparisons often start with our parents, even though we come from a different generation. I wasn’t anywhere close to getting married at the same age as my parents were when they wed. I thought about that when I passed that landmark age.

Was I moving too slowly? Was I missing something or someone? Was I falling behind?

I took comfort in knowing that I lived at a different time. Then again, I also passed the age at which my brother got married. Did I need to do a hard target search of every outhouse, henhouse and farmhouse to find my fugitive wife?

Fortunately, the answer had nothing to do with age. I could have married other women, but I hadn’t met the right person.

Before my wife and I got married, we were in sync about when we wanted to try to make that wonderfully challenging transition toward parenthood.

Now, as the years have passed and our children have learned to drive

the car — and us crazy — we have reached other milestone ages.

They have celebrated academic landmarks, graduating from elementary and middle schools while working their way through high school.

Our milestone birthday numbers don’t come as frequently as 16, 18, 21, and 25 do for our kids.

But, every so often, we hit a number that has significance either on its own, ending in a zero or a five, or because of some family connection.

I am approaching just such a challenging milestone. My father was this old when he died. I know there are people like Mickey Mantle, who expected to live a relatively short life.

Mantle’s grandfather died at 60 and his father passed away at 40, both from Hodgkin disease. In the event, the baseball legend lived until he was nearly 64.

At every annual physical, my doctor and I review my family history.

We are aware of the diseases that may be lurking somewhere in my genes. It

makes sense to monitor my health and to catch anything early, particularly something that may run in the family.

Still, I don’t share Mantle’s sense of predestination, just as I didn’t feel an overwhelming urge to grab the nearest woman I found relatively unobjectionable because I had to get married at the same age as my parents or my brother.

My life doesn’t come with a playbook or a chapter outline. Maybe I would have made more money by now, reached more personal milestones, or run a few more marathons — OK, one — if I’d recognized all the age-related alarm bells.

Then again, if I had, I would have missed out on knowing my wife and our children, three people whose lives enrich and define my own.

So, yes, while I keep an eye on the genetic footprints in the sand ahead of me, I also hope to follow my own compass as I imagine the days ahead when I become older than my father.

More perilous than skiing was the fog

T

he recent frigid weather was good training to harden us for our trip north this past weekend. We went high up in the Green Mountains of Vermont to ski. Now before you wonder at my sanity, I hasten to repeat what my clever neighbor told me when he heard we were going.

“Skiing? Just hang out at the bar for a couple of days, then come back and tell us you went skiing. We’ll never know.”

So with proper full disclosure, I confess that I did not ski. I

that I felt like I had swooshed down from the summit but without the cold and the half-hour wait on the lift lines to get there. Now don’t get me wrong. I always loved to ski.

Why else would I have put up with the long drives, the absurd boots, the itchy hats and the running nose except for those few exhilarating moments when the view of the valley below from above the snow line is spectacular, the air is sharp and clear, the snow sparkles with sunlight in an unbroken trail before me and the deep silence assures me that the splendor is mine alone.

That said, age has its advantages, and I stayed warm and dry, letting subsequent generations enjoy the marvel of skiing.

We were there to celebrate my middle son’s 50th birthday. It became a tradition in our family, when my oldest son turned 50, that we would gather at the location of his choosing to properly mark the occasion together. This trip was not without its dangers but not from skiing. It was the drive up to the slopes on Friday that kept us on the edge of our seats in the car, peering into the

darkness. If you remember, the day began uncharacteristically warm, but as the hours went by, a deep freeze descended from the north and pushed into the warmer air, creating dense fog.

We crossed the Sound on the ferry, unable to see the shores, and actually missed the turnoff to the Merritt Parkway and thence Interstate 91 from Route 8 on the Connecticut side because the fog shrouded the signs above our heads on the roadway. That wasn’t of any great consequence as we continued on Route 8 to Interstate 84 East, a slightly longer stretch, but it did serve to warn us of what lay ahead.

We drove for the next couple of hours and the fog only seemed to intensify, but we were in good spirits anticipating the coming weekend’s festivities. We even stopped for a nice German dinner in Springfield, Massachusetts. What difference would a couple of extra hours make, we rationalized, since it was going to be dark anyway by the time we left the highway?

Initially driving wasn’t so difficult on Route 103, the first of the

back-country roads, because there were other cars snaking along, marking the contours of the road with the glow of red taillights. At one point a bus joined the parade in front of us, and that was dandy.

The real problems started when we turned onto Route 100 and left the bus behind. So dense was the fog that we missed the turn and had to circle back for a second try.

We were all alone from that point on, sometimes inching our way forward, straining to follow the yellow midline. Snowbanks lined the road, with only an occasional reflective marker to indicate a precipice off to the side. In that fashion, our hazard lights blinking noisily in the car to avoid anyone colliding with us, we traveled the next 24 miles. We knew we were climbing because our ears popped periodically, but we could see nothing of the mountains. We finally arrived at our lodging, a couple of hours later, in a glazed-eye stupor.

After that, simply skiing was a piece of cake. Birthday cake, that is.
