Town

Task Force Hosts Event on Addiction Recovery The Town of Huntington Opioid and Addiction Task Force invited residents to join a special program Oct. 28 at the Old First Presbyterian Church in Huntington celebrating those who have conquered addiction and remembering those who have been lost.

The program, “A Recovery Event: Celebrating Hope in Huntington,” featured first-hand accounts from those who have conquered addiction, information about local prevention, treatment and recovery programs, and a stirring performance by the Old First Church Sanctuary Choir. Sharon Richmond shared her story about her son Vincent. The ceremony was dedicated to his honor. (See page A5 for her story.)

“Huntington, like every other community in America, has been hit hard by the opioid crisis,” said Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D), who sponsored the program with the task force. “We created this event to show that there is a cause for hope and that in fact that there are thousands of local residents who have found a path to recovery,” The event drew more than 100 people to the Old First Church. A highlight of the evening was a candlelight circle to celebrate, honor and remember those who were lost as a result of their addiction.

Created by a town board resolution in December 2017, the Opioid and Addiction Task Force includes local health care professionals, educators and community leaders. It works to unify, support and strengthen prevention, treatment and recovery efforts within the town. Its goals include reducing the incidence of substance abuse, promoting timely access to care for consumers and their families, creating environments conducive to recovery and reducing the stigma associated with substance use disorders.

“Many of our families have been greatly affected — their lives changed forever after losing a loved one to addiction,” Cuthbertson said. “We know that substance abuse is preventable, addiction is treatable and recovery works.”

The town is hanging resource information posters around town.

“Somebody is waiting for you to come to them,” said Stephen Donnelly, who has sponsored different opioid services in the past.

He encourages people to ask people impacted: “How can I help you?”

Perspective

Barriers in Addiction Recovery: A Mother Calls for Change After Losing Her Only Child

BY SHARON RICHMOND DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

I am educator, an advocate and most importantly a parent who lost her only child to the disease of addiction. Unfortunately, I know I am not alone. The truth is: I stand with more than 72,000 other parents who grieve the loss of their child to an overdose.

When I speak publicly about addiction issues and look out at people, I see a small piece of me. When I look at your child, I see the beautiful potential of what could have been my child. If only mental health and the disease of addiction had the same basic human right to health care as other illnesses. I hope that by sharing my son’s story, I can create a future where all people are treated equally, no matter their ability or disability.

My son Vincent was sensitive, kind, funny and insightful. He was popular, played almost every sport, and his teachers always said he brought conversations to the next level and stood up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves. I will always stand tall and be proud of the person my son was.

The one thing that most people never knew was that, no matter how hard he tried, Vincent still battled with serious mental health issues: ADHD, trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), anxiety and low self-esteem, which eventually led to a deep depression. Even though Vincent had a family that absolutely adored him and everyone he met thought he was handsome, smart and funny, Vincent ... never saw himself that way. Children need to be taught how to communicate and be given a variety of strategies to cope in today’s world.

We have to work together. It needs to be at the family, school and community level.

Vincent started smoking marijuana in high school. Toward the end of my son’s life, he shared that “pot” had been his gateway drug to stronger drugs. After high school, he was hanging around with a different crowd. During college, his “A” grades started to falter. Then, he lost his job.

Something wasn’t right. I searched his room and found what I feared most: Oxycodone had become Vincent’s drug of choice. We had heated discussions that oxycodone was extremely dangerous and addictive. He would show me research that denied it. As we all know, powerful companies can find ways around the law and can state just about anything they want and get away with it.

The oxycodone amplified my son’s anxiety and depression. He began to isolate himself. He could hardly get himself to go to work or even out of the house. Vincent tried to self-detox and

get drug free on his own, failing several times.

Finally, Vincent agreed his addiction was out of his control. I had so much hope he was going to get the treatment he desperately needed.

Over the course of just one year, prior to my son passing away, he would get denied by the insurance company over four times!

The insurance company stated he didn’t fit “medical necessity.” First, he had supportive parents. Second, he was motivated to get better.

By the third denial, I filed a complaint with the attorney general’s office. They were able to get my son 14 days. 14 days ... is such a short time to physically and emotionally overcome addiction, and certainly not enough time for Vincent. My son came out and soon relapsed. This time to heroin.

After battling with the insurance company for months, they finally approved my son.

Regrettably, unbeknownst to us, insurance companies are allowed to back-deny services within 30 days of approval. After detox and 14 days, my son was back-denied, stating he had no other mental health illnesses, was highly motivated to get better, and had a supportive family. He was crying that he needed more time. He was extremely anxious and severely depressed. They placed Vincent on anti-anxiety and anti-depression medication, even though my son was denied treatment due to not having any mental health illnesses.

My son was trying to get better. He went to out-patient almost every day, met weekly with his counselor, and attended meetings at night.

In the next few weeks, Vincent stayed drug free ... he was beginning to be himself again. However, without getting the services he desperately needed and deserved, my son relapsed and bought drugs unknowingly laced with the deadly drug fentanyl. My son Vincent had no chance. I lost my shiny star, my beautiful son, Vincent on Sept. 13, 2017. Last month would have been his 28th birthday.

Vincent’s battle is one like too many others.

In his honor, I advocate for change. He had so many barriers making it so difficult to get the help he needed: whether it be getting denied Suboxone for detox, incorrect information to determine appropriate services, or getting the Vivitrol shot to help prevent relapse. No one should ever have to fight so hard for the basic human right to health care.

Insurance companies need to be held accountable. They need to cross reference information for accuracy prior to denying inpatient treatment. They need to comply with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. Federal law states that anyone with a mental health illness or the disease of addiction should get the same basic human rights to healthcare as

those who have regular medical conditions.

I couldn’t imagine if my son or anyone’s child had a regular health disease such as diabetes, a heart condition or cancer that they would get denied the medical care they needed, if they had a supportive family and were motivated to get better.

Over 200 loved ones die from an overdose every single day. We don’t have the luxury of time. In order to create any meaningful change, we need you to be a part of making a difference in our community. Your voice needs to be heard. It is so powerful and very important.

If you truly want to see change ... Reach out to your local and state representatives, ask them what their action plan is, and hold them accountable. Let them know how important it is for you and your children to have a future where everyone has the same right to get the

care they need to be healthy.

It is my hope that by sharing my son’s story, I can raise awareness, encourage the importance of communication, education and most importantly equality for basic human right to healthcare.

Polls Open for Early Voting This week early voting kicked off in New York for the first time. This was part of the sweeping voting reforms that I was proud to co-sponsor and vote for. I promised to fight to make voting easier and more accessible for voters, and this was the first step. Early voting will allow voters to vote for nine days leading up to Election Day. New York has joined the majority of the rest of the country in allowing early voting. For too long, New York voting was something from the stone age. We were consistently ranked one of the worst states in terms of voting access, and just one day to cast a ballot made voting difficult and challenging for working parents, the elderly, people working multiple jobs and college students to name a few.

Saturday, Oct. 26, New York’s early voting period kicked off and I joined residents at one of Suffolk County’s early voting sites. My wife, Carol, and I voted alongside our neighbors in Dix Hills at the firehouse. Voting was easy, quick and efficient. The poll workers were supremely trained on the modern technology they were using and kept things moving. I was surrounded by a crowd thrilled to be partaking

in democracy! There are tremendous protections in place to ensure no one votes more than once and that all votes are kept confidential, just like on Election Day. I was thrilled to take part in this historic day and am proud to have been a staunch supporter of such common sense legislation to make voting, a fundamental American right, that much easier.

I encourage everyone to get out and vote, whether during this early voting period or on traditional Election Day. Not only has it never been easier, your vote is critically important, particularly in off-year elections where local races are up for grabs. Local races, like those on the ballot this year, determine who runs our local governments, which set your tax levy, pave your roads, maintain our water systems and pick up our garbage. Local government is essential to keeping our lives running, so make sure you cast your vote and let your voice be heard.

Suffolk County has 10 regional polling sites.

You can vote at any of the 10 sites. For hours and locations, visit www.suffolkvotes.com.

Andre has a deep respect for first-responders and is serving his 5th year as Huntington Fire Commissioner.

Known as someone people can count on to get the job done, Andre's innovative, hands-on problem-solving as the Town’s Director of General Services has improved public safety and quality of life across town, especially for children. He has repaired and reopened playgrounds that were closed for years; improved the appearance of neighborhoods suffering from neglect and irresponsible property owners; and beautified town parks, most notably at Heckscher Park, earning him widespread praise from residents.

For Andre Sorrentino, it's all about putting people over politics. Andre will fight to protect Huntington’s quaint historic downtowns and preserve our way of life so that future generations can live American Dream in Huntington.

County Executive Race Focuses on Finances, Public Safety and Water Quality

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It is a three-man race for the Suffolk County executive seat this year. Incumbent Steve Bellone (D) is vying to secure a final term after coming into office in 2012. Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) and Libertarian candidate Greg Fischer, from Calverton, are looking unseat Bellone in this year’s election.

Some topics discussed were the county finances, the opioid and MS-13 situations and Suffolk’s water quality.

Berland, Gavilla Battle for 16th District Legislator Seat are placed disproportionally in low-income areas.

“The county has discriminated by putting red-light cameras in low income communities,” he said. “There are none in the affluent areas [on the Island].”

Though he admitted that if someone runs a red-light they deserve a ticket.

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Incumbent Susan Berland and challenger Hector Gavilla are vying for Suffolk County’s 16th Legislative District seat. Berland of Dix Hills is the Democratic candidate and has served on the Legislature for the past two years. She served on the Huntington Town Council as a councilwoman for more than 16 years prior to being elected county lawmaker.

Republican hopeful Hector Gavilla is seeking political office for the first time. In 2017, he ran an unsuccessful campaign for the 16th District seat which he lost to Berland. Gavilla has been a licensed real estate broker since 2003 and has run Commack-based Long Island Professional Realty since 2010.

The candidates are concerned with the future of the red-light camera program, the county financial situation, affordable housing and public safety.

Red-light camera program: The incumbent says she believes red-light cameras save lives.

“People need to stop at a red light, they shouldn’t run through it and stop appropriately,” Berland said. “If people did that then

you wouldn’t have the ‘money grab’ argument because they wouldn’t be paying the fines for them.”

Berland said there is a need for improvements in the program. She proposed looking at individual camera locations and potentially

moving cameras to other problem areas.

The incumbent also said they want to make sure they can oversee the placement of cameras once they get a new contractor.

Gavilla disagreed saying the red-light camera program is a scam. He argued that the cameras

Suffolk’s financial future: The county’s finances have been one of the main topics of discussion in this year’s election season. According to a recent state comptroller report, Suffolk was under the most severe fiscal stress of any county in 2018 for the second year in a row. Suffolk had an operating deficit of about $26.5 million in 2018 and a general fund balance deficit of $285 million.

Gavilla said the county is spending money it doesn’t have.

“The total [deficit] amount depends on who you speak to,” he said.

If elected, the challenger would get rid of certain special taxes and fees. He would also look to consolidating services and making cuts in some departments.

“We need to cut expenditures, we can do that very easily by going to department heads and employees and incentivizing them to find ways COUNTY LEGISLATOR Continued on A15

Chelius Challenges Spencer for 18th District Legislator

BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Seasoned incumbent William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) is vying for a fourth term in the Suffolk County Legislature, where he has served for the past seven years. Spencer, a practicing physician for 28 years, has his own Huntington practice.

Since taking office, the incumbent has worked to ban the sale of powdered caffeine to minors, raise the age of selling tobacco products, helped passed a measure to stop companies from manufacturing energy drinks to kids and spearheaded a ban on flavored e-cigarettes and a fee on single-use plastic bags.

If reelected, Spencer would like to work on lowering the cost of living for young people in his district. He also proposed the need for a wintertime economy on the Island and suggested an indoor water park or convention center.

Tackling the opioid and vaping crisis will present another challenge for Spencer, who said he is committed to finding treatment and addiction solutions to those affected.

In Huntington Station, Spencer has his eyes set on connecting areas to sewer systems to attract restaurants and other local businesses.

William “Doc” Spencer (D)

Garrett Chelius (R)

His challenger Garrett Chelius (R) is running because he is concerned that his three children, as well as other children in the county, are not going to be able to afford to stay in Suffolk. He blames the current administration’s fiscal irresponsibility.

The long-time Huntington resident said his experience working in the banking and staffing industries for the past 25 years will help in getting the county back on track financially. Chelius also mentioned that the county has a junk

bond rating due to seven straight downgrades.

The LIPA tax situation concerns Chelius. He said residents are fearful of how the upcoming LIPA court decision will affect them financially.

In addition, congestion and overdevelopment in the town and safety issues related to the deployment of 5G technology are also concerns.

If elected, Chelius would like to make sure beaches and waterways remain pristine for generations to come. He mentioned renovating Coindre Hall, a mansion and 33-acre park overlooking Huntington Harbor. Lessings Caterers currently uses the site as a catering hall.

Chelius believes it could be an amazing pier and harborside facility as well as a must-see family-friendly destination for residents and out-of-town guests.

“Lastly, people are concerned about the water we all share, the water to drink, and the harbors and bays we enjoy,” Chelius said. “We need to make every effort to keep both our drinking water and our harbors and bays pristine.”

Also, the challenger believes the red-light camera program is unsafe and biased toward lower income areas.

Daniel West is also listed on the ballot running for the seat on the Conservative Party line.

He was unable to be reached for an interview.

Six Running for Two Seats on Town Council

BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA The town of Huntington operates with a four-member council and a town supervisor.

Currently, the supervisor is a Republican and two of the four council members are Democrats. Six names are on the ballot for Huntington’s town council, and voters can choose two candidates to serve a four-year term. The outcome of this election will determine majority party rule.

Two incumbents are running for reelection: Joan Cergol (D) and Eugene Cook (R).

Cergol is cross-endorsed by the Green, Working Families and Independence parties. Cook is cross-endorsed by the Conservative, Libertarian and Independence parties. Challengers include Kathleen Cleary (D) and Andre Sorrentino (R), who is cross-endorsed by the Conservative and Working Families parties. Eleanor Putignano is running on the Green Party.

Patrick Deegan is running as a Libertarian.

Putignano and Deegan, though they are listed on the ballot, were unable to be reached and did not attend the candidate debate hosted by

TBR News Media. Deegan later agreed to a telephone interview.

In general, Huntington’s hot topics center on overdevelopment, water quality, parking and the high cost of living.

Joan Cergol Joan Cergol, after being elected in 2018 to serve a vacated one-year term seat, is running again this year for a full four-year term. A lifelong Huntington resident who has worked as a communications specialist, she is one of two Democrats on a four-member board. Cergol said that she considers herself an independent voice that works for all people in the Town of Huntington.

“If you want someone with a steady hand and head, a warm heart, a strong work ethic, all driven by an overarching desire, in all decisions made and votes cast, to simply do the right thing for Huntington, I’m your choice for town board,” Cergol states in her public profile online.

Cergol’s top concerns include budgetary policies related to appointed positions in town government and the lack of affordable housing.

“There’s no $1,500-a-month apartments anymore,” she said.

She said the town can save money for cash-strapped taxpayers if it exercised greater restraint and followed a different process for town employees. People in appointed positions should be qualified and paid fair wages rather than excessive salaries, she said. She favors zero-based budgeting, a system that audits every job position to justify its value and necessity. She also thinks the town can do a better job tapping into available grants to offset expenses, rather than hitting taxpayers up for different projects.

To address the housing concern, over the last year, Cergol successfully sponsored legislation that allows people, mainly the elderly, to rent out their own home, while living in their own smaller, accessory apartment on premises. The policy, she said, solves multiple housing-related issues, and she said it’s one of her proudest accomplishments during her first year as a legislator. Live-streaming and close-captioned viewing of town meetings were also her initiatives.

Overall, Cergol considers herself a problem

solver of issues big and small and knowledgeable on the mechanisms of government. She said she prefers watching other people cross the finish line, rather than being in the spotlight herself.

The town, she said, is 95 percent built out.

When considering redevelopment and revitalization projects, she said its important to evaluate the economic, social and environmental factors.

Eugene Cook Eugene Cook has been elected to the town council for two consecutive terms and is running for a third and final term. He sponsored the new term-limit legislation and wants to be the first to leave after three consecutive terms.

Cook was raised on Long Island and lives in Greenlawn. He’s a welder by trade and owns a building contractor business.

The LIPA tax certiorari issue, he said, is the town’s greatest challenge and he is committed to pursuing all avenues to fight National Grid, who owns the Northport power plant. LIPA, he said, is out of control.

Other pressing issues for Cook include overdevelopment. He’d like to see the Village TOWN COUNCIL Continued on A15

to cut their fees,” Gavilla said.

Berland said when Bellone was elected to office, the county was $500 million dollars in debt.

“There hasn’t been an increase in the property tax line and we have kept within the 2 percent cap,” she said.

Berland said they are continuing to provide the services residents need, while acknowledging that the county has cut numerous government job position in the last few years.

Patrick Deegan is running a grassroots campaign with no money, no fundraising and just relying on support from neighbor to neighbor. He’s running on issues of water quality and soil contamination that can potentially cause a health crisis.

He said he’s worn four hats in life: semiprofessional distance runner, business man, a talent agent and for the last 17 years an unpaid advocate.

Deegan suffers from a connective tissue disorder that prevents him from physical labor but allows him research issues. Deegan said that he has been operating as a lobbyist, but since he’s not paid, he’s really an advocate.

He said he has researched topics and has worked behind the scenes to address issues such as opposing the Villadom development project and raising awareness statewide on fentanyl.

“This is what I’m doing with my free time now, “ said Deegan. “I want to help people.”

The job as town representative requires mental challenges.

If elected, Deegan will strive for more community-based leadership. He praises the work of civic organization and people who band together like the Fort Salonga Property Owners Association, which opposes the golf course development.

“If a tree falls down, we don’t need to wait three days for the town to come,” he said. “We can get it taken care of.”

Public safety (opioids/vaping/gang violence): Gavilla said while visiting homes throughout the area people are happy that federal government officials are assisting in the fight against MS-13.

“I’ve visited close to 5,000 homes … the Hispanic communities are happy the feds are involved,” he said.

Gavilla said there is a need for increased police presence as he believes more can be done on the opioid epidemic as well.

According to him, the Hispanic communities are against making parts of Suffolk County as sanctuary areas, saying “they want the bad guys out.”

Berland agreed with Gavilla that more can be done with MS-13, but said the Suffolk Police Department is doing a good job.

The incumbent said in terms of immigration, people that are committing crimes should be deported.

Berland supports banning vaping in the county, saying it has created “a whole new generation of kids smoking.”

“We also need to crack down on the sale of opioids and increase Narcan training,” she said.

Affordable housing on Long Island/Town of Huntington: The county legislator said there is a need to find affordable housing for everyone.

“We need to be able to provide affordable housing, you have these [housing] developments built and then 20 to 30 years later it goes to market rate,” Berland said.

The incumbent looked to the recent Ronkonkoma Hub project as a way they could provide affordable housing as well as keep working families and young people on the Island.

Berland said she supports continued economic development in the town and giving more resources to schools.

The challenger on the other hand would look to bring back high paying jobs to the area.

Gavilla said he wants to bring back Fortune 500 companies, mentioning that his own father

KYLE BARR

Kathleen Cleary Kathleen Cleary is an East Northport resident with experience as a contract manager for Fortune 100 companies. Like Cergol, she said the town is bloated with patronage positions.

Her experience overseeing projects to meet time and budget constraints, she said, will help bring transparency and ethical reform to Huntington. Her business administration degree, she said, will also help her streamline town operations through departmental and personnel efficiency assessments.

The lack of adequate parking in downtown Huntington is an ongoing problem. To address issues, Cleary’s ideas include implementing employee parking shuttles. She has no spot in mind, only a concept. Overdevelopment is also a top concern.

Cleary opposes settling the LIPA suit.

“You can’t just sit back and let them walk all over us,” she said.

She is impressed with community activism about the issue over the last few years. Because the Northport power plant is not an isolated case in one town, she said state government needs to offer remedies.

Overall, Cleary said her people skills, experience with government contracting and navigating bureaucracy makes her a good candidate for better efficiency and cost-cutting in town government.

Andre Sorrentino Andre Sorrentino is also a lifelong Huntington resident and owner of PAS Professional Automotive Services. He promises to bring the small businessman perspective to town council. He loves Huntington and said he believes in getting things done. He’s proud to be a family man.

“I want to be the guy people go to,” Sorrentino said.

Sorrentino has insights into the town’s highway department, where he has been director of general services since February 2018. In that post, he’s helped to beautify parks. As an automotive inspector, he said that he sees firsthand that the poor state of the town’s highway equipment needs to be addressed.

Sorrentino said he feels a strong obligation to give back. He’s serving his fifth year as Huntington fire commissioner. He has gained a reputation in the community for his work handing out turkeys to families in need around Thanksgiving. Last year’s drive donated 2,660 turkeys.

As a tradesman, Sorrentino said that he would like to see the town promote apprenticeship programs, an idea that both Cergol and Cleary also see as important.

worked for a subsidiary of Grumman when he was young. He also said he would work with state lawmakers to assist in bringing those jobs here.

In addition, Gavilla said there is a tax problem that needs to be fixed.

“Property taxes are too high and that affects everything,” he said. “ You have to keep business owners here.”

SARA-MEGAN

of Huntington designate more areas as historic to preserve its charm. The best way to enhance the community, he said, is through the arts. He is committed to supporting cultural projects that keep Huntington vibrant. Quality of life issues, he said, is and should be a main consideration when evaluating development projects.

These approaches, he said, place Huntington on the map as a destination. He opposed the proposed Villadom Mall project in Elwood.

The site, he said, is now under consideration for open space preservation.

To address ongoing need for additional parking, Cook sponsored legislation to purchase the old Chase Bank property at Gerard Avenue and Main Street, which will be leveled and converted to a 71-stall parking lot. The site is an asset, he said, that can always be sold if Uber and other shared drive services replace the demand for parking. Cook opposes the construction of what he called an unsightly, $30 million, multilevel parking garage, because the town may never need it and will likely mismanage the project.

Cook said he is proud of everything he does as a town council member. Helping veterans, he said, is particularly rewarding. He recently connected the Hispanic community with the police to enroll 250 kids in a new PAL soccer program.

The experience, he said, was heartwarming. He also likes helping all mom and pop shops address building issues or whatever their concern may be.

“It’s my pleasure to serve the community,” he said.

Cleary also has a background in horticulture and is a Cornell certified master gardener.

These skills, she said, provides insights into how to address water quality issues. She’s been involved with Long Island Native Plant Initiative, the Huntington League of Women Voters and Keep Islip Clean Project Bloom.

Endorsements

Vote Berland for County Seat District 16

For Suffolk County’s 16th Legislative District, we believe that incumbent Susan Berland (D-Dix Hills) is still the best choice to sit on the county Legislature for the next two years.

Her experience and record speaks for itself, and she has the community knowledge needed for the job.

She will be facing tough challenges with the future of the red-light program, and it will be up to her and her constituents to fix the problems of the program and alleviate concerns from the public who remain skeptical.

On other issues like affordable housing and public safety, Berland’s time on the Huntington town council will prove important as she has shown an understanding of residents concerns in the past while supporting smart fiscal practices, pushing for more affordable housing projects, economic development and increased resources for schools.

To tackle the MS-13 situation, Berland will need to continue work with community leaders, residents and the SCPD. While we admire Hector Gavilla’s passion for his district and the issues it faces, he unfortunately falls short on experience. Though the Republican candidate brought up some interesting ideas, they just weren’t fleshed out enough. It’s clear that Gavilla has become a community leader in his district and we encourage him to continue being in tune with residents’ concerns. Also, we encourage Gavilla to work with Berland. It could lead to positive outcomes down the road.

Reelect Steve Bellone The 2019 race for Suffolk County executive could prove to be closer than in previous years. Incumbent Steve Bellone (D) looks to secure a final term and continue his vision of improving Suffolk’s water quality and getting the county’s finances in check.

On the other side, you have county Comptroller John Kennedy (R) who knows finances and has been looking out for taxpayers’ pockets.

Libertarian candidate Greg Fischer also has his mind on the county’s finances and as a former businessman he brought up some interesting ideas. The race will be a tough one, but we think reelecting Bellone is the right way to go.

While Bellone has been criticized for the county finances, we have to remember

File photo

he inherited a tough task when he came into office in 2012. While he has made some strides in better budgeting during his tenure, including streamlining government, cutting over 1,300 jobs among other initiatives, there is still work to be done on that front.

Kennedy is right to bring up the county’s finances as it remains to be a chief concern and he probably knows more about finances than Bellone, but we feel he is better fit in the county comptroller role than county executive. As comptroller, we hope he can continue to work with Bellone to keep the county spending in check.

On other issues, like water quality and public safety, we feel Bellone is better suited to take on those things. Kennedy has a point in criticizing Bellone’s septic

improvement system plan as the technology is still relatively new and hasn’t been proven to work. More research will need to be done to ensure these septic systems are working properly for homeowners.

In the fight against MS-13, Bellone has continued to work with SCPD and community leaders in eliminating the gang from the Island. Kennedy is right that the federal government involvement has been vital in dealing with the gang.

Fischer is passionate about the residents of Long Island and brought up some interesting ideas. Unfortunately when it comes down to it, he just lacks experience compared to the other candidates. We encourage Fischer to continue to be involved in local issues and possibly in the future try to run for more local government positions.

For Town Council Elect Cleary and Reelect Cergol We urge you to reelect Joan Cergol (D) and elect Kathleen Cleary (D) to the Town of Huntington Town Board. Cergol has an impressive grasp of the issues in Huntington. Residents are fortunate to have a hardworking and dedicated person representing them on the Town Board. After serving only one year, before running for reelection, she cleary deserves to be reelected.

Cleary brings similar enthusiasm to the job. It’s a tough choice between Cleary and incumbent Gene Cook (R), who has been behind bold initiatives. But Cleary’s unique background in business and horticulture offers the town fresh approaches to water quality problems.

Andrea Sorrentino is a special candidate who should stay active in the community. His idea on creating more apprenticeships in the town needs to be embraced. He’s a true community and family oriented person, qualities that people value.

Reelect Spencer for District 18

We strongly support Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) to a fourth term.

He has served the people of the 18th Legislative District well for almost eight years.

The legislator’s background as a licensed physician has given him knowledge and experience to help in some of the county’s most pressing issues like underage tobacco use

and opioids.

His record shows that he is committed to tackling numerous environmental and health issues that residents face, especially with the vaping situation.

Spencer has demonstrated a good understanding for numerous topics and acts as a vital voice in the county Legislature. We believe that Spencer is still the right man for the job.

Opinion

Observations from a Blur of College Tours

W

e are back to shopping for college.

There’s a familiar rhythm to this search that, the second time through, brings a more relaxed pace. Now that my wife and I have taken about a dozen college tours, we’ve noticed patterns. Please find below some observations: • The library gets quieter the higher its location. Every school we’ve toured has suggested that people will throw visual daggers D. None at you on the of the above top floor if you

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF drop your pencil.

Move to a lower floor to cough. In the effort to differentiate one school from another, a clever college ought to invert the quiet pyramid. The logistics would be challenging,

with people stepping onto a floor of silence, but it would make clear how serious students were in the library and would defy the usual expectations about noise on each floor.

• Showcase dorm rooms aren’t real. Yes, the rooms everyone sees are, of course, actual rooms, but they have considerably less stuff, no irrational roommates who scream in their sleep, and are better lit than the freshmen rooms most of our kids will occupy. Somehow, the temperature in these rooms is perfect for almost everyone. Many rooms, however, are way too hot or too cold for one, two or the three people jammed into a space that will feel like the garbage chute in the original “Star Wars” as the year progresses.

• Some tour guides will share their food choices, preferences and idiosyncrasies because it makes them charming. We may not have the same aversion to Vegan Tuesdays, but we will undoubtedly remember the school because some lacrosse player in desperate need of a haircut who sings hates vegan food.

• Tour guides are friendly. Yeah, I know,

shocking, right? But, while they are talking to us, many wave to friends as they speak. Are they really waving at someone? Is one person walking back and forth? The whole “everyone loves me and I love everyone” shtick seems rehearsed. Then again, maybe tour guides really do have friends everywhere.

• Some information sessions and tours seem to have left something crucial out of the discussion: Who wouldn’t be a great fit for their extraordinary school? Schools might save themselves — and prospective students — trouble if they helped these eager high school seniors and juniors get a better idea of what might not work for them. None of the schools offer an amalgamated profile of the type of student who typically transfers anywhere else. They should, right? Wouldn’t it help to know that the snow which starts in September and ends in May drives some students away? Or that the competitive atmosphere on campus doesn’t work for some students? What have the schools learned from some of their admissions mistakes?

• People on tours generally look and sound

tired. Most of the kids seem to be praying that their parents don’t embarrass them by asking too many questions. When asked what they plan to major in, they respond with something like “blobology” or “Idunnonotsure.” The introductory phase of the tour rarely creates cohesion among a group taking turns to hold doors open for each other.

• Tour guides attempt to share college humor by highlighting their personal deficiencies. In between waving to their extended group of friends, these guides point to a chemistry building or a music hall and suggest that they have absolutely no skills in those fields whatsoever and are in awe of their peers, who seem to be speaking a foreign language when they explain their passion for molecular biology.

• These guides pick majors and minors like they’re at an ice cream store: They have one scoop of biology, two small scoops of elementary education and sociology, and a sprinkling of criminal justice.

I do not have distractions in my bedroom. It’s rather sparsely furnished, mostly with pictures of my family and some knickknacks I have carried home from my wanderings. It is one of the best-ventilated rooms in the house, and I like it quite cool and quiet when I sleep. I have an outrageously comfortable mattress that is turned every three months.

I also enjoy colorful sheets and a comforter rather than a blanket. My pillows are neither very fluffy nor flat, and they are down-filled.

I almost never read in bed, nor watch television. I don’t have a desk there, with lots of correspondence to answer, nor a computer. Sometimes I take a bath before bedtime, sometimes a shower, sometimes neither, and I never drink hot milk. In fact, if I have alcohol, I may fall asleep even more quickly, but I am surely going to wake up around 3 a.m., when the effect has worn off. Best of all, I find, is to drink nothing after dinner so one’s bladder is skinny.

I also sleep pretty soundly, getting up sometimes once in the night. I find it tempting, after I return to bed, to pick up a book or newspaper to see what’s happening in the world — I am a news junkie — but I resist that urge and as a

result usually fall back to sleep. If I don’t, I urge myself to get up and wash the kitchen floor, and that will generally do it.

There are, of course, different internal clocks for different people. Some are perfectly happy going to bed at 11 p.m. and waking up at 7 a.m. in time to get ready for work or school. Others start whipping around at 11 p.m. and are most productive when the rest of the world quiets down. My mother and father were badly mismatched in that way. My dad was used to living on a farm, where he went to bed at 8:30 p.m. and got up in time for the 4:30 a.m. milking. My mother did her work between midnight and 4 a.m. Somehow they did get together, but it wasn’t easy.

My advice: Find a job that fits your biological clock and you’ll be a happy person.

You might wonder that I find sleep creative.

If I have a problem, whether mathematical or any other kind, I will often go to sleep at night with it on my mind and wake up with the solution at hand. Sleep is such a mysterious process.

The brain works during sleep, and the body feels so much the better for the respite in the morning.

In Praise of Sleep

T

here are people who think sleeping is a waste of time. These people go to sleep each night with great reluctance and insist they only need three or four hours of sleep to function well. Maybe they do. There are others who walk around chronically sleep deprived, nodding off immediately when the house lights dim at a lecture or performance, because in spite of their best intentions, they just don’t get enough sleep.

I’m here to declare that sleeping Between is one of the more you and me creative pursuits,

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF that in addition it is enjoyable, and that the end result the next day is to enable one to leap tall buildings

at a single bound.

I enjoy sleeping.

Now presumably everyone knows what sleep is. But studies have shown that sleeping is a different experience from one mortal to the next. For example, I readily acknowledge that I am one of the lucky ones (good genes) who lie down in bed and almost immediately drift off to sleep. Indeed, I run out of gas and have to go to sleep, like a child, willingly or not. I understand that some people have a terrible time falling asleep. My husband was one of these. Watching me sleep, he surely had acute sleep envy.

How does that happen? I can tell you how it is for me — a statistical sample of one. As soon as I lie back and close my eyes, something akin to a story or even a movie begins in my head and leads me into sleep. If I am interrupted before I fall entirely asleep, a different story starts up when I go back to bed, even if it’s just a couple of minutes later, and I’m off.

I have read all sorts of suggestions for people who struggle to fall asleep, hoping to help my husband. Maybe what I’ve learned can be of help to you if that is also your problem.
