Huntington

Community celebrates 85th St. Patrick’s Day Parade

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Residents in Huntington were dressed in green, contrasting well with the gray skies above.

Despite a drizzling rain, thousands still stepped out dressed in St. Patrick’s Day flair to enjoy a day of Irish pride during the 85th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade March 10.

This year’s grand marshal was Timothy Rossiter, 72, a member of the Huntington division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and president of the Rossiter Financial Group.

The march featured several drum and pipe bands, along with local groups including local Boy Scout troops, VFWs, New York State Nurses Association and many others.

She said her son, up until he received news of his diagnosis, was very much like Danielle, a robust, healthy person who was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed long distance walks.

“You are not just shaving your head, wearing a T-shirt and getting a green hair extension, you are a part of a much bigger mission today,” she said.

Caleb’s mother added many research hospitals are able to receive grants to help them come up with better treatments for cancer thanks to the money raised from St. Baldrick’s events.

“Many children’s lives will be saved because of this research and treatment — I have hope that more types of treatment will be developed in the years to come,” Paquet said. “I also have

Northport community, students prune their locks for childhood cancer

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Seventh-grade science teacher John Braun donned a green mohawk and bellowed on bagpipes as he led a group of students into a packed Northport-East Northport Middle School auditorium. At the district’s St. Baldrick’s Day event, March 8, around 39 students and staff volunteered their time and lined up to shave their heads in support of childhood cancer research.

Since 2007, the middle school has raised nearly $215,000 and its team, The Bald Tigers, has raised more than $14,000 this year.

“I thought it was going to run its course, maybe be a year or two, but it has gotten bigger and bigger every year,” Braun said. “The kids get really excited to get involved and be a part of it.”

When Braun was in middle school, his best friend’s older brother died of cancer. He said that story is why he became involved with St. Baldrick’s.

Over the years, the district has been impacted by childhood cancer, and for this year’s shave they honored a number of individuals including Caleb Paquet, who died in August 2017 after a

battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and Danielle DeSimone, a former student who at 19 was diagnosed with leukemia.

DeSimone couldn’t be at the event but sent a video thanking the crowd for participating in the event and for continuing to raise awareness for childhood cancer research.

The crowd listened to her story of how one week she was surfing with her friends, and the next week she was in a hospital bed where she stayed for five months receiving treatment.

After seven rounds of chemotherapy she was informed that she was a candidate for a bone marrow transplant. She received a transplant from a person in Germany and went on to say one day she hopes to meet them.

“I’m still in recovery — it’s tough and a really slow process but one thing that has been consistent throughout everything has been the support of the Northport-East Northport community,” DeSimone said. “Every well-wish just reminds me every single day to keep going and that I have a full community of people behind just rooting for me and pushing me to get to my goal of getting better.”

Nicole Paquet, the mother of Caleb, also spoke at the event about her personal experiences.

a grand hope that there will be a cure for cancer in my lifetime.”

This year’s St. Baldrick’s event also honored Charlotte Stewart, a current middle school student who is battling cancer. When she was called up on stage to participate in the headshave she received a loud ovation from the packed crowd.

Braun couldn’t have been happier with this year’s turnout.

“The community is great — I grew up here, I went to school here, I still live here — they’ve always been super supportive of any event we do, and I couldn’t imagine doing this anywhere else.”

Perspectives

Celebrating open information laws on Long Island

BY DONNA DEEDY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It’s Sunshine Week (March 10-16), time for recognizing and celebrating the importance of freedom of information laws and open government in our democracy.

Newsrooms nationwide are participating in the weeklong event, which specifically aims to help people better understand their everyday right-to-know under federal and state laws. Sponsored since 2005 by The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the American Society of News Editors, TBR News Media is joining in for this year’s tribute.

We’re focusing on New York State’s Freedom of Information Law. First enacted in 1974, the law succinctly states: “The people’s right to know the process of governmental decision-making and to review the documents and statistics leading to determinations is fundamental to our society. Access to such information should not be thwarted by

shrouding it with the cloak of secrecy or confidentiality.” The law applies to schools and all government entities within the state.

We’ve taken a look at the websites of towns and villages within our circulation area on Long Island’s North Shore to gauge whether or not the process is user-friendly.

What we’ve found is most entities acknowledge their obligation to respond to Freedom of Information Law, or FOIL, requests.

The towns of Huntington, Smithtown and Brookhaven post their record access codes online, along with most incorporated villages.

Rather than posting their FOIL codes, the villages of Huntington Bay, Nissequogue, Head of the Harbor and Port Jefferson simply provide a link to a one-page preprinted FOIL request form. Port Jefferson village online code explicitly directs the public to visit Village Hall during business hours to examine its record access policy.

It’s important to note that state legislators created a special unit within New York State to answer the public’s questions and render legal

opinions about open government practices.

The unit, known as the Committee on Open Government, has determined government entities should not mandate the use of record request application forms.

Villages that currently require the public to use their application forms to request records may need to revise their practices to align with state’s legal advisory opinions.

“There’s no obligation on behalf of the requester to travel to town or village offices to view records,” said Robert Freeman, the executive director of New York State Committee on Open Government.

Fortunately, requesting records in the electronic age is easier than ever. If documents aren’t already posted online, people can simply request copies of records via an email to the record access officer. Instructions can be found on the state department’s website: https://www.dos.ny.gov/coog/freedomfaq. html#howrequestemail. The record request

template clearly outlines requesters basic rights within the form letter.

Christian Trejabal is the open government chair for the Association of Opinion Journalists.

In a blogpost for Sunshine Week he opined on the need for journalists in this day and age.

“Thousands of newspapers have closed over the last 20 years,” Trejabal said. “Tens of thousands of journalists have lost their jobs. Without them, government is under less scrutiny, and that isn’t healthy for democracy.”

If you would like to know more, visit the New York Department of State Committee on Open Government website. It provides volumes of information about the Freedom of Information Law, the Open Meetings Law and the Personal Privacy Protection Law. The committee’s lawyers can also be reached by telephone at 518-474-2518.

Obituaries Janet Ryan

Janet Lee Ryan of Northport and of Port St. Lucie, Florida, died March 2.

She was born at Huntington Hospital and raised in Kings Park. She traveled the world with her first husband James Donaldson and lived in Sydney, Australia, for a short time before moving back to Long Island. She ventured out to live in Arizona for one year, but New York was always in her heart.

She moved back to the Island and spent the next few decades raising her family in Northport.

Always having a thirst for knowledge, Janet decided to return to school while raising a family and working full time.

She received her associate’s degree in general education from Suffolk Community College, a bachelor’s degree in human resource management from DeVry University and her master’s degree in human resource management at Argosy University. Janet was always ambitious and had a career that included working many years for Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield. She was at her office, located at One World Trade Center, during the 9/11 attacks. Most recently she worked for the General Services Administration in Miami, managing the historic David Dyer Courthouse and other buildings in the area.

While Janet always loved New York, she and her second husband Kevin Ryan embraced an opportunity to relocate to Miami where they spent 13 years enjoying the warm weather and several cultural experiences. They loved the water and a perfect day was setting sail on the ocean after a morning of yoga in Bayfront Park.

Janet was also an avid bicyclist and runner.

Janet is preceded in death by her son, Joseph Donaldson.

She is survived by her loving husband Kevin; daughter Jaclyn Donaldson Matthews (Nathan); son James Donaldson (Gina Repetti); step-daughter Maggie Pietsek (Caleb); cherished grandchildren Madison, Jacob and Jonathan Matthews, Raven, Jade and Keylee Pietsek; sister Lyda Downs (Bryan); and nieces and nephews Karly, Kassidy, Anthony and Andrew.

Visitation was held at Nolan Funeral Home in Northport, March 5, and her funeral service took place later that night followed by a private cremation.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for people to make a donation in her memory to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, which can be found at www.theftd.org.

She was the beloved wife of the late John J. Eff; loving mother of Cheryl Zambratto (Rich) and

John J. Eff Jr. (the late Jody); dear grandmother of Victoria Bacchioni (Greg); and the cherished great-grandmother of Giuliana Bacchioni.

Visitation was held at Nolan Funeral Home in Northport with a funeral service at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in East Northport.

Burial followed at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale.

The family asks that donations made in her memory go to MJHS Foundation, which can be found at www.mjhsfoundation.org/donate/.

Gary Hontz

Gary A. Hontz of Eaton’s Neck died Feb. 20.

He was 67.

Hontz was the devoted husband of Ardyn; beloved father of Heather Brumm (Jim); loving “pop-pop” of Jimmy; and fond brother of Ronald G. Hontz (Karrie) and Nancy C. LaRoche (Nigel).

Hontz was an exChief of the Eaton’s Neck Volunteer Fire Department and was a 38-year member.

He was a retired purchasing manager of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

County

County announces shared services with municipalities to combat tick-borne illness North Shore communities have found a partner in the battle against ticks and the diseases they carry.

On March 6, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) announced the SuffolkSHARE Public Health Partnership. A part of the county’s shared services initiative, the new partnership will leverage the efforts of 10 local governments and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services to research and combat ticks and tick-borne illness, according to a press release from the county.

“This new partnership is another example of local governments working together to save taxpayer dollars and protect the public health of our residents,” Bellone said in the statement. “By taking collective action, we are expanding education, collection, and analysis to ensure that we have the information and resources at our disposal to deal with these illnesses head on.”

With the new partnership, towns and villages will be able to strengthen their efforts to combat ticks in ways that were previously prohibitive due to high cost and limited resources, according to the release.

The new partnership draws on efforts that include collecting data and procuring materials at lower costs while tracking progress over time. These processes are already underway by the Suffolk County Tick Control Advisory Committee, which researches and combats ticks and associated illnesses. According to the county, each year approximately 650 Suffolk residents contract a tickborne illness, including Lyme disease.

Eight villages and two towns will work in conjunction with the county, including Asharoken, Northport, Head of the Harbor, Old Field and Belle Terre, according to the press release.

“Protecting public health is a priority for the Village of Belle Terre, and mitigating the risk of ticks and tick-borne illness is an important mission,” Bob Sandak, the Village of Belle Terre mayor, said in a statement. “Having the ability to work with other local governments and Suffolk County on this issue will give us the opportunity to address it effectively and affordably.”

Recently, Belle Terre moved to allow deer hunting within the village, citing that New York State is the only governing body that can restrict hunting. Sandak said at a Jan. 15 village meeting, where the possibility of deer culling in part with Port Jefferson Village was discussed, that in the near-mile radius of the village boundaries, there could be as many as 300 deer. It was expected that culling could bring the number of deer down to approximately 50.

The Department of Health Services will provide resources and guidance when it comes to ticks, while the county will facilitate testing of samples, collection of data and additional analysis. The cooperative procurement of corn, tickicide and other materials, as well as municipalities working together to collect samples to have them analyzed will happen at a cheaper rate due to consolidation, according to county officials.

The county health department and Suffolk County Department of Public Works Vector Control Unit will consult with villages launching their initial efforts at tick mitigation, tick-borne illness mitigation and deer mitigation, which may include municipalities sustaining a four-poster (also known as a deer feeder); using environmental controls, such as landscaping; and utilizing birth control. The participating local governments will assist the Department of Health Services with community education regarding the risk of ticks and how to avoid bites, tick collection for testing and health monitoring of residents.

According to the press release, North Haven, Saltaire and Shelter Island already operate four-posters. The deer feeders brush tickicide onto the animals to keep them free of ticks.

“While tick-borne illnesses remain a major concern amongst our community, we continue to look for new and innovative ways to protect the public’s health,” said Michael Levine, Village of Old Field mayor, in a statement. “Thanks to the work of County Executive Bellone and the creation of this new partnership, we will now be able to asses tick conditions, develop a comprehensive plan to combat this public health issues, and educate our residents on ways to stay safe.”

Events of June 2016

DIANE WATTECAMPS

I was in England the week before the referendum and was astonished at how the youthful, vibrant atmosphere I felt on my last visit had evaporated into a sour mood.

As a confirmed Europhile, I was even more amazed to see how finely balanced the polls were. The omens were not good, especially when state broadcaster, British Broadcasting Corporation, adopted a neutral stance giving equal time to both campaigns. Why did the leave campaign, with no governmental responsibility or track record, deserve the same coverage as the in-power remainers?

I was still in England when staunch remain campaigner and promising Labour member of parliament, Jo Cox, was murdered June 16, 2016, in her native West Yorkshire at age 41 by a right-wing extremist. Had politics become so divisive that a life had to be taken?

Surely, I thought, the British people, with their

long-held sense of justice and fair play, would rebel against such a dastardly act and vote for the “good guys” out of respect to Cox. The referendum campaign was halted temporarily, but a news blackout contrived to neutralize any widespread outrage at her death.

Referendum night June 23 was covered in full over here by BBC World News.

Ironically, with the five-hour time difference, U.S. viewers were more up to date than the sleeping British public. I knew the writing was on the wall when early voting in Sunderland and Swindon went to the leavers. And yet Sunderland, in the relatively impoverished North East, was home to a major Nissan factory (jobs, jobs, jobs), with Swindon in the affluent South West housing a big Honda factory. Both Japanese car companies used their English bases for easy access to the European markets. What were the voters in those towns thinking by voting leave?

The leave campaign was victorious. A distraught Cameron resigned July 11, 2016, to be succeeded by May. It was up to her to negotiate a withdrawal agreement with the EU, with a leaving date eventually set for March 29, 2019 — the end of this month.

The protracted negotiations have been rocky, to say the least, and the outcome has still not been resolved at this late hour thanks mainly to a problem that should have been foreseen at the time of the referendum but wasn’t: the Irish backstop. Stay tuned.

Part 2 will bring matters up to date, with crucial parliamentary votes due to be held this week.

Opinion

Editorial

Unaffordable housing The phrase has become oxymoronic. It’s like a bad riddle: What is something everyone needs, but fewer people on Long Island can have?

They call it affordable housing. The real question is, affordable to whom?

Smithtown just recently hosted its second housing lotto in a year for affordable housing developments March 11. Another lotto is coming up to bat March 26 for three one-bedroom units with a total monthly gross rent of $2,300; and one two-bedroom unit with a total monthly gross rent of $3,200.

The Suffolk County Legislature’s Welfare to Work Commission, which advises the Legislature on issues related to poverty in the county, released a report in 2018 that detailed the holes in affordable housing and government programs.

The report describes that if a family wants to rent, only 18 percent of available housing is rental, compared to the national average of 37 percent. Market rate for monthly apartment rentals in Suffolk was $1,589 in 2017, according to census data, meaning families in that market would have to earn $57,204 — 52 percent of the area median income — a year if they spent 30 percent of their income on the apartment costs. In Smithtown, average rental costs are upward of $2,500 for a one-bedroom apartment, according to online rent tracker RENTCafé.

It’s hard to call such options such as the lottos in Smithtown truly “cheap,” mostly because each is only cheap by comparison.

The Town of Huntington hosted a lotto for Harborfields Estates March 5 with 608 first-time home-buyer applicants entered in that drawing. It’s a staggering number of people all bidding on the hope of owning a four-bedroom home valued $350,125. Real estate taxes on the unit are estimated to be $9,700 annually and estimated HOA fees will be approximately $460 annually.

The county report noted the 2017 Suffolk yearly median income was $110,800, while the median price of a home in 2017 was $376,000, according to census data. If an individual or family spent 30 percent of income on housing costs, the national and suggested average, they would have to earn $125,000 a year to afford the median home price.

These lotteries are an opportunity for the average person looking for a home on Long Island to have the chance to start a life here, but there’s also something dystopian about the entire idea of gambling a chance to be able to afford something as basic as a residence, whether that means renting or owning. Not to mention, anybody who is making less than the area median income knows just how tough it is to find truly affordable living anywhere along the North Shore.

It’s not to say these lotteries aren’t helping those whose names are drawn, but one wonders at the state of some of the hundreds of people who apply for these lottos who then walk away empty handed. While certainly a few of those applying may already own homes or rent apartments and are just looking for a cheaper option, the very nature of a lottery draws upon the desperate.

Municipalities at every end of the Island are complaining about brain drain, of Long Islanders fleeing to seek cheaper housing options elsewhere. Their governments need to look at the issue holistically and take an approach that affects communities as a whole, rather than for select individuals.

Letters to the editor

Remembering a different President Johnson In response to the Between You and Me column: “President Johnson: a Civil Rights Hero,” published on Feb. 28.

Can a leopard change its spots? I was politically active at the time and remember then Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson [D-Texas] as a power in the “Solid South” which comprised 11 to 15 racially segregated states that voted staunchly and safely Democratic.

Last week or so, PBS did a special

on Sammy Davis Jr. In 1960, Davis married May Britt, a white actress of some note. Davis joined Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin campaigning for John F. Kennedy. The Solid South continued in the Democratic column and Kennedy was elected president. Martin and Sinatra were invited to Kennedy’s inaugural ball, but Davis was not. The reason: Davis would probably dance with his wife, and the Solid South could not tolerate a black

man dancing with a white woman, even if it was his wife. Davis was shattered.

The Kennedys detested Johnson but JFK took him as a vice president to keep the Solid South in the Democratic block of votes. Can a leopard change its spots?

It seems so.

The Solid South changed its spots in 1968 and has done so ever since.

A wall splits people and their land apart Truth Imposed.

Some of our leadership want to build a wall across our southern border, some do not. Each seems to be fixated on disparate versions of the truth. Each seems to believe that imposing a truth is the same as arriving at one.

It is politically dangerous to arrive at a truth about a major public question on which the nation’s establishment is dead wrong, so leaders stay dug in.

On a bluntly personal level, what do the farmers, ranchers and people in the

communities who own the land, work and live there think of the wall? Real people who grow up, go to school, fall in love, have families, worship and die there. They see it as a “scar, a cut that has been sutured.” Most of us from a distance imagine the border as being this uninhabited, desolate place that belongs to the government. So why not build a wall along the border?

Another imposed truth.

That wall runs through private property, in some cases up to a mile from

the actual border, separating folks from all they own on the southern side of an 18foot wall. The government condemned only a thin strip of land, suitable for building a wall, from landowners while splitting their properties in two. They can see their barns, reservoirs and grazing land through steel slats but have no access to them.

A truth you imposed is not equivalent to a truth arrived at.

Insurance should cover overdose treatment Suffolk County led with 337 overdose deaths for New York state between 20092013 without a close call. The Bronx came in second with 121 less fatalities, while many of us here in Suffolk still are in denial of what is going on around us. Personally, I know the struggles of addiction firsthand and have seen its destructive nature drag bright spirits to unrecognizable places.

These are our children, parents and friends fighting an internal battle that I can only describe as crippling.

For many, medication-assisted treatment provides a beacon of hope for recovery and a chance at restoring normality to life. Meanwhile, insurance companies are making it increasingly difficult for individuals seeking treatment to receive essential MATs like buprenorphine — including one medication with the brand name Suboxone — at an affordable price due to insurance coverage changes and prior authorizations placed on the medication. In 2007, nearly 90 percent of Medicare plans

covered buprenorphine without restriction and this number has decreased drastically to 35 percent by 2018.

Buprenorphine should be covered by insurance companies without restrictions or prior authorizations to provide accessible treatment for opioid-use disorder. This is one of the three medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat opioid-use disorder and is recommended by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Research suggests that MATs such as buprenorphine in combination with counseling result in better health outcomes. While many medical professionals are being trained on providing in-office buprenorphine, physicians report delay due to prior authorizations and barriers to patient care.

Buprenorphine is safe and effective.

It has been linked to decreases in opioid use and overdoses. It lowers the potential

for misuse due to the ability of drugs to level off at a certain dosage. If these medications are not readily available, we are creating a barrier to treatment. Only two out of every 10 individuals looking for substance abuse treatment can receive it at the time they want. If people cannot access treatment when they want it, they may not get another opportunity. Health care is a basic human right.

Some may argue that medication treatment is not sobriety. However, research supports MATs like buprenorphine over abstinence-based approaches due to higher success rates and safer outcomes for patients. Some may need this additional support to serve as a springboard in their recovery. Easy access to MATs like buprenorphine is critical to provide accessible treatment for those searching to climb their way out of a grave being dug by addiction.

Pi Day reminds us of the numbers in our lives

W

hat better day than today, March 14, to celebrate numbers? In case you haven’t heard, math teachers around the country have been getting in on the calendar action for 31 years, designating the day before Caesar’s dreaded Ides of March as pi day, because the first three numbers of this month and day — 3, 1, 4 — are the same as pi, the Greek letter D. None that is a mathematical constant and of the above makes calculations

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF like the area and circumference of a circle possible.

We can become numb to numbers, but they are everywhere and help define and shape even

the non-perfectly circular parts of our lives.

We have a social security number, a birth date, a birth order, height and weight, and a street address, with a latitude and longitude, if we’re especially numerically inclined.

Numbers save us, as computer codes using numbers keep planes from flying at the same altitude. Numbers tell us what to wear, as the temperature, especially around this time of year, dictates whether we take a sweatshirt, jacket or heavy coat.

We use them when we’re ordering food, paying for a meal in a restaurant and counting calories. They are a part of music as they dictate rhythms and tempos, and of history, allowing us to keep the order of events straight.

We use numbers to keep track of landmarks, like the year of our graduation from high school or college, the year we met or married our partners, or the years our children were born.

Numbers help us track the time of year. Even a warm day in February doesn’t make it July, just as a cold day in June doesn’t turn the calendar to November.

People complain regularly that they aren’t good at math or science, and yet they can calculate the time it takes to get to school to pick up their kids, get them home to do their homework, cook dinner and manage a budget, all of which requires an awareness of the numbers that populate our lives.

We know when to get up because of the numbers flashing on the phone or alarm clock near the side of our bed, which are unfortunately an hour, 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds ahead thanks to daylight savings time. Many of our numbers are in base 10, but not all, as our 24-hour clocks, 24-hour days, 12-month years and seven-day weeks celebrate other calculations.

Numbers start early in our lives, as parents share their children’s height and weight and, if they’re preparing themselves for a lifetime of monitoring their children’s achievements, their Apgar scores.

Children read Dr. Seuss’ “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.” We use numbers to connect the dots in a game, drawing lines that

form an image of Dumbo or a giraffe.

Numbers progress through our elementary education — “I’m 10 and I’m in fifth grade” — and they follow us in all of our activities: “I got a 94 on my social studies test.”

Imagine life without numbers, just for 60 seconds or so. Would everything be relative? How would we track winners and losers in anything, from the biggest house to the best basketball team? Would we understand how warm or cold the day had become by developing a sliding scale system? Would we have enough ways to capture the difference between 58 degrees Fahrenheit and 71 degrees?

Objects that appear uncountable cause confusion or awe. Look in the sky and try to count the stars, or study a jar of M&Ms and try to calculate the number of candies.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a number tells its own tale — it was a six-alarm fire, I had 37 friends at my birthday party or I walked a mile in a circle, which means the diameter of that circle was about 1,680 feet — thanks to pi.

Winning the game of New Year’s resolutions

S

o, how are those New Year’s resolutions going? Do you even remember what they were? If you are sticking to them, heartfelt congratulations. You are one of few with the discipline and tenacity to hang on. But if you are in the majority for having slipped or temporarily abandoned your resolves, here is some help. It’s called habits.

Habits can be a valuable tool to change your life, Between both for the better you and me and not. By that I

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF mean, we can slip into some unwelcome behaviors and they become habits almost before we realize it. Or we can consciously take control and set out to break or redefine or make new ones, and as they become part of a routine,

they become easier to follow.

This is all far simpler than it sounds, of course. There is a whole branch of science dealing with habits, the unconscious behavioral patterns formed to deal with actions. “We do not so much direct our own actions as become shaped by them,” wrote Jeffrey Kluger in his introductory chapter for a special edition from Time Inc. called “The Power of Habits.”

He points out, by quoting Léon Dumont — the 19th century French psychologist and philosopher — that “a garment, after having been worn a certain amount of time, clings to the shape of the body better than when it was new. There has been a change in the tissue, and this change is a new habit of cohesion.” That is certainly true of the old, comfy pair of slippers that, despite their age, you hate to replace them, and the old pair of pants that have come to fit you like a glove.

Accordingly, the manner of our actions “fashion for themselves in the nervous system more and more appropriate paths.” Kluger here is again quoting Dumont, who studied the science of laughter, of gratitude, of empathy and, for our purposes here, the science of habits.

William James, the American philosopher greatly influenced by Dumont, suggested that people were little more than “bundles of habits.”

The point of all this is to build on the idea that if we can shape our brains and the rest of our nervous systems the way we shape a pair of pants, we can control and redirect our lives to follow the actions we wish to take, namely our resolutions to be better.

Think about how many of our daily moves are just programmed in. We get up in the morning and automatically brush our teeth, take a shower, dress, put up the coffee, get our keys, slide behind the wheel of the car, place the coffee cup in the holder, drive to work, all probably while thinking of something else. Occasionally we are surprised to find we have arrived at our destination without consciously paying attention to the route. Almost all of that execution was the result of habit.

Well, suppose you built another step in there, like running 20 minutes on that treadmill or stationary bike collecting dust in your basement before you got into the shower. You like to watch the morning TV shows? Jog along

with them as you watch. If you repeat that action for awhile, it could become a habit and presto! You are doing the recommended minutes of exercise a week without the ironclad discipline seemingly required each day.

It just becomes as much a habit as brushing your teeth. If you are forever locked into dipping into the candy jar in the evenings, and you find you are gaining weight, substitute chilled blueberries or red grapes from a cut-glass bowl within reach of your fingers. Of course you have to remember to buy the blueberries or grapes beforehand, wash them and keep them in the refrigerator at the ready.

Complex habits, like procrastination or chronic lateness or smoking are harder to unlearn — but not impossible. We can rewire ourselves, using substitutions or rewards, splinting a bad habit onto a good one for support or hanging out with those whose actions we would like to emulate.

Here’s the bottom line: We can do it. It will just take time for a new behavior to feel part of our routine, an average of two weeks or so. To become a habit will average 66 days.
