Theater brings 10 years

STONY BROOK Great Value! Priced to Sell!

By Victoria Espinoza

The streets of northport have come alive with music and laughter in the past 10 years — and that’s all thanks to the John w. Engeman Theater in northport. The Main Street theater first opened its doors in 2007 and has been providing Long Island residents with quality entertainment at an affordable price ever since. when it comes to why theater lovers should chose the Engeman theater over a broadway show, director of operations Michael decristofaro said the northport venue offers an experience you could never get on broadway. “we don’t have the space broadway has,” decristofaro said in an interview. “we don’t have wing space or fly space, so we really are able to slow these shows down and find the heart and the essence of the show. People come and see shows

like they’ve never seen them before. we’re really able to get into the story of the characters.” decristofaro said some shows like “west Side Story,” “The Producers” and the upcoming show “Memphis” stand out as really being able to accomplish just that. “we were told by numerous patrons, ‘better than broadway,’” he said. “People felt that seeing it in an intimate venue like this without all the distracting flash of pizzazz and set pieces moving in and out really helped them focus on the characters and have fun and get involved.” another aspect of the theater that may contribute to the more intimate setting is the distance from the seats to the stage. according to Jessie Eppelheimer, the operations administrator, the back seats are only about 75 feet from the stage, “which you could never get at a broadway show,” she said in an interview.

Huntington High School’s past is raising money for Huntington High School’s future. On a night in September, the Huntington High School class of 1966 will be coming together for two very good reasons. They will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their graduation, but they will also be raising funds that will go to the class of 1966 reunion scholarship, which will award a current senior $1,966. Lucille Corcoran Buergers, a member of the class and one of the organizers of the event, said the recipient of the scholarship won’t necessarily be an honor student, but rather a student who has overcome obstacles and has ambitious plans for the future. The scholarship winner will be selected later this year. Huntington High School students are in the process of crafting essays, with the winner to be selected by the high school’s general scholarship committee. In 1966, the world was just being introduced to the Beatles, the United States was still coping with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the Vietnam War was in full swing. Buergers, who attended Woodstock, said in a phone interview that the tumultuous events of the 1960s impacted forever the lives of people who were growing up at that time. “People I know started to question the establishment,” Buergers said. She said that she went into social work to help people endure life’s stresses. The reunion will be at the Huntington Country Club. Buergers said the committee organizing the reunion believes about 150 of the 526 graduates from the class of ’66 will be in attendance so far. They are still working to locate more graduates. “Our classmates have gone on to become successful businessmen/women, educators, entrepreneurs, other professionals and overall good citizens,” Buergers said. “Overall the consensus is that Huntington was an ideal place to have grown up and those that have moved away are eager to return and revisit the many places that hold special meaning to them…many fond memories that we have of a time that we will always cherish.” There will also be a silent auction at the event with creative works from the class of 1966. Buergers said three painters, a stained glass artist, a photographer, a basket weaver, a jewelry maker, a quilter and an author have all agreed to donate works for the auction. Tickets will be $95 at the door, though they will be less expensive if purchased in advance. Any members of the class of 1966 who have not yet purchased tickets are advised to visit www.huntingtonhighalumni.org.

Principal moves up ranks By Alex Petroski

Harborfields High School Principal Rory Manning was unanimously approved for a promotion by the board of education on March 16. He will be taking over as the assistant superintendent for administration and human resources. Francesco Ianni currently holds the position, though he has been tabbed to take over as district superintendent as of January 2017, when the current superintendent, Diana Todaro, retires. “Dr. Manning, I have to say, has performed a truly exceptional job in his position of high school principal,” Todaro said Wednesday at a board of education meeting at Oldfield Middle School. “When we began to seek a candidate for the position of assistant superintendent for administration and human resources, we immediately, without hesitation, considered Dr. Manning for this position. Following several interviews and discussions, our decision was confirmed, and it was clearly evident to us that he was the best candidate for this position and there was no need for us to conduct the so-called ‘nationwide search.’” Manning has been the high school principal at Harborfields since 2012. Prior to that he spent time at Sachem High School East as both a principal and assistant principal from 2006 through 2012.

He received a doctorate in education, educational administration and supervision from St. John’s University in 2011. “I’d like to apologize to the board, because today, when the proposition to hire Dr. Manning as our assistant superintendent comes up, I’m breaking protocol and saying a resounding ‘yay,’” student representative to the board of education Trevor Jones said, prior to the unanimous vote to approve Manning. “I know my vote doesn’t count, but that’s a fantastic man sitting over there.” Jones’ address concluded with a standing ovation and a hug from Manning. Manning was praised by Jones, Todaro and members of the community for initiatives relating to educational technology that he has been a part of while at Harborfields. “It absolutely blew me away,” Manning said about the kind words shared about his new position in the district and the work that he’s done so far. “Trevor Jones and our students, they’re just outstanding and Trevor really speaks from his heart. It really shows. Our students, my students, inspire me to be better everyday. That’s what keeps us going on the hard days, keeps us motivated on the good days. It’s just special working with these kids and their parents, the teachers, the superintendent, the board; it’s just a pleasure to work with everybody

here. They call us the Harborfields family, and it really feels that way.” Harborfields High School received a 2016 National Blue Ribbon award nomination, a distinction given to outstanding public and non-public schools by the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program of the U.S. Department of Education. Winners

will be selected in September, according to a release on the district website. “Whenever Dr. Manning talks about the fact that we’ve been nominated as a Blue Ribbon school, he always talks about the students and our teachers who do amazing work,” Jones said. “He never gives himself credit. He deserves some.”

It was simply unavoidable from Romeo’s perspective,” Spota said. “Romeo can be held criminally responsible for driving while intoxicated but he cannot be held criminally responsible for the crash.” Southold Police Chief Martin Flatley said during the press conference that many limo drivers exiting Vineyard 48 in Cutchogue try to make that dangerous left U-turn because it is the fastest route to head back west. “There are other ways to head back west, but that’s the easiest way for them to do it,” Flatley said. There is now a traffic light at that inter-

section, Flatley said. Spota said Romeo was heading west at about 55 miles per hour when the crash occurred. He did not see the limo enter the intersection until he was about 200 feet away, the district attorney said. “Mr. Romeo had only 200 feet to react to the hazard he saw, and stop his vehicle,” Spota said. “Traveling at 55 mph, it would have taken 1.6 seconds to perceive the limo in his path, to realize he must apply his brakes, and then to begin braking. This would leave Romeo with even less distance, 129 feet, to avoid a crash — impossible for him to do.” After investigating the crash, Spota said the incident was “unavoidable,” thus keeping a grand jury from indicting Romeo for vehicular manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide.

Harborfields NAHS inducts 35 student-artists

Thirty-five talented studentartists from Harborfields High School were inducted into the National Art Honor Society in March, acknowledging their outstanding ability and interest in the arts. To begin the ceremony, Principal Rory Manning and Francesco

Ianni, assistant superintendent for administration and human resources, expressed words of welcome to parents and family members. They commended the students for their hard work and acknowledged the unique opportunity the students have to connect with people through art.

“With your artwork, passion and dedication, you can make people feel better and make someone’s day better,” Ianni said at the induction ceremony. NAHS co-presidents Jack Ratti and Kelly Stone read aloud the name of each new inductee as they received their certificates

and lit the ceremonial candles. While welcoming new inductees, the society bid farewell to 28 graduating seniors who received the tassels they will wear on graduation day. In harmony, the group repeated the NAHS oath led by Stone. The evening concluded with in-

dividual speeches from Stone and Ratti who shared what being in the society has meant to them. Photo from Harborfields Central School District

Student artwork featured by Arts Council A number of Harborfields High School student-artists were selected to have their artwork displayed in the Huntington Arts Council’s Journey Program High Arts Showcase XII exhibit. The art pieces in the exhibit reflect a variety of media and an exceptional level of talent from high school students in the program. During the opening reception, Harborfields student Alexa Forberg was honored with an award of excel-

lence for her photograph, while student Hannah Bartfield’s artwork was chosen for the cover of the Huntington Arts Council newspaper, which is distributed to more than 80,000 homes in the area. Along with Forberg and Bartfield, the artwork of Harborfields students Katherine Ellsworth, Elizabeth Larkin, Sabrina Qi and Wei Yu was on display at the Main Street Gallery in Huntington earlier this month.

William Kiernan of St. Anthony’s High School in Huntington has been named a Distinguished Teacher of 2016 by the Harvard Club of Long Island. “This award honors teachers who transform lives,” explained Judith Esterquest, chair of the Harvard Club of Long Island Distinguished Teacher Selection Committee. “By capturing the minds and imaginations of our children and preparing them for challenges that were unknown even a few decades ago, these teachers shape the future of our country.” Kiernan has been at St. Anthony’s High School for 11 years, teaching English and a senior elective on philosophy, which he designed, having earned his bachelor’s degree in philosophy and religious studies at Fordham University. Recruited into his current position, he finds teaching “far more rewarding than office work,” although he says his previous experience causes him “to try to make certain students are not afraid of hard work or ever thinking that any task is ‘beneath’ them.” “I’ve spent much time honing my craft to try and be the best teacher possible,” commented Kiernan, who holds his master’s in English education from Molloy College and has earned an advanced certificate in educational leadership from Long Island University. He enjoys spending time with his wife

CSH library has a new director BY VICTORIA ESPINOZA

There’s a new director at the Cold Spring Harbor Library & Environmental Center. Rodger Podell came on board about three months ago and is excited about the new bonds he has already made with residents of the area. “I’ve really enjoyed meeting everyone in the community,” Podell said in a phone interview. “It’s been great to get out and meet with different parental groups. I’ve loved getting to know everyone.” Podell is no stranger to Long Island,

moving to Jericho in 1978 from New Jersey and graduating from Jericho High School. He worked as a freelance video camera operator for a few years on various television and news shows until the late ’90s, when he decided to go back to school and pursue a field that had always interested him — library studies. “I’ve always liked that libraries serve the community and serve all ages,” Podell said. “You can see infants coming in for story time, seniors coming in for social programs and everyone else in between.

Blue Devils can’t be caught track & fIeld By DesIrée KeegAn

Forget about being county and state champions, the Huntington boys’ winter track 4x400-meter relay team raced a nation-best 3 minutes, 16.09 seconds at the New Balance Nationals Indoor. At the Armory in Manhattan, the team topped its previous best mark for the third fastest time ever in New York, and ninth fastest ever nationally. The time also set a new Suffolk County record. Kyree Johnson ran his quarter in 48.887 seconds, Shane McGuire finished in 49.701 and Lawrence Leake finished the third leg in 49.802, to put the Blue Devils in a position to win. And Infinite Tucker made it happen, turning in a blistering-fast time of 47.708 seconds on the fourth and final leg. “We won because of hard work and dedication,” Johnson said. “We did it as a family and as a team.” Huntington’s time was slightly more than one second off the fastest mark ever at the New Balance Indoor Nationals and three seconds off the national record of 3:13.06 set by North Carolina’s New Bern High School in 2009. Huntington’s 1600 sprint medley relay team captured All-American honors

as well. Johnson, Leake, McGuire and Tucker finished in a time of 3:30.94 to place sixth in a strong field of 22 behind elite teams from Virginia, Michigan, Louisiana, Massachusetts and North Carolina. The Blue Devils All-American performance marks a new Suffolk County record in the event and is the fastest time in New York State this year. Johnson and Leake ran the first two legs consisting of 200 meters each, followed by Tucker handling the third leg of 400 and McGuire running the anchor leg of 800. The school also finished 11th in a field Photos from Huntington athletics of 45 in the 4x200 relay.

Coming home as a two-time state champion was definitely a major goal, but I also wanted to win the 55-meter dash because it was all up to me in that race. After coming in a close second in the 55, I knew I had to let go of that and give all my focus to the 4x400 relay. Seeing your team cross the finish line first again at the state championships is one of the best feelings around.” Johnson was nipped by 1/100th of a second, clocking in a 6.40 just behind Rochester’s Wilson Magnet senior Kelly Brown. Johnson wasn’t the only Blue Devil that Brown challenged. Brown also raced Tucker to try and claim gold. This time, the Blue Devils came out on top, as Tucker won a gold medal in the 55-meter hurdles after clipping the final hurdle and sending it flying before he dove over the finish line. He outraced Brown by 2/1000ths of a

Huntington-Harborfields celebrates league title Swimming & Diving It was a championship season worth celebrating. The combined Huntington-Harborfields boys’ swimming and diving team captured regular season and postseason championships while solidifying its roster for future campaigns. Swimmers, divers and their parents celebrated the winter campaign during a threehour party at the Halesite Fire Department. The season marked Meg McConnell’s first as head coach, after she assumed leadership of the program following the retirement of Huntington’s founding swim coach, Gil Smith. McConnell had been Smith’s assistant for many years. Blue Devils alum Kaitlyn Larkin was named the new assistant coach this season. The dinner was a festive gathering. Michael Greaves, of Harborfields, created a slideshow of season highlights. Huntington senior and team co-captain Matthew McBride and seniors Jackson Spector and Burak Toprak were among those who spoke about the season and their teammates and coaches. Those who notched All-League, All-County and AllState honors were acknowledged. “It was a fun, funny and a great night,” Huntington parent Patti Weber said. “They are a great group of boys who really have become one team.” The Blue Devils finished with a 4-1 league mark and went 4-4 overall, easily winning the Suffolk County League II championships by outdistancing runners-up Northport and Connetquot, 309 and 257, while Lindenhurst (187), Central Islip (140) and North Babylon (98) trailed in the distance.

In addition to McBride, Spector, Toprak and Javier Vias, the Blue Devils team included seventh-graders Kyle Kennelly and Thomas Rosselli, eighth-grader Christopher Weber, freshmen Henry Cartwright, Nathaniel Gamboa and Thomas Peer, junior Keegan Dunne and senior Ryan LaBella.

Juniors Noelle Harvey and Camille Stafford were team managers. Three Huntington swimmers were presented with special team awards at the dinner. Gamboa was named MVP, Weber earned Most Improved honors and Dunne garnered the coaches award.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

A rush to judgment

Last week it was confirmed that Steven Romeo, the allegedly intoxicated pickup truck driver involved in the fatal Cutchogue limo crash in July, was not going to be charged with manslaughter. We’re sure this came as a shock to many people, who had written off Romeo as guilty as soon as it was reported that he had been drinking the day he T-boned the limo in a crash that killed four young North Shore women on a wine tour and injured several others. Referring to limo driver Carlos F. Pino’s risky U-turn that put that vehicle directly into Romeo’s path, Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota confirmed last week, “A perfectly sober Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash. An intoxicated Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash. It was simply unavoidable from Romeo’s perspective.” Pino will be charged with manslaughter for his dangerous maneuver. But some damage may have already been done in Romeo’s case. News outlets and some North Shore residents vilified the man long before the DA’s report was finalized. It’s no doubt a gut reaction for people to assume a drunk driver is at fault in a car crash, but this shows us why we should not be so quick to jump to conclusions. Sober people make mistakes or reckless maneuvers on the road every day, and this limo crash is an example of that. The American criminal justice system is set up so that every citizen is innocent until proven guilty, and we should all keep that in mind for instances like this. No matter the mistakes or poor decisions a person has made, that person deserves fair, unbiased treatment. That goes for the courtroom as well as the public and the press. All are innoncent until proven guilty.

Education isn’t scores TO THE EDITOR: Let’s trace the beginning of the opt-out rebellion. It’s part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan established a $4.35 billion competitive grant fund. The program was called Race to the Top. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch and New York State Commissioner of Education John B. King Jr. spearheaded the application and acceptance of the grant money. They committed to the Common Core curriculum, tying teacher evaluation to student test scores in English and math for grades 3 to 8, punishing

Hope perseveres past tragedy Your turn

‘For years we had been pressing local government to put a rumble strip in front of the school.’

BY LARRY HOHLER

Don’t let anyone tell you that terrorism or attacks by wild animals are the most serious dangers you face when visiting Kenya. More lethal is the danger both locals and visitors face resulting from mayhem on the roads. Shortly after our nonprofit Hope Children’s Fund opened its orphanage in Meru in 2005, Glory, one of our older girls, was walking to school on a Saturday for an extra help session. While crossing the bridge into town on the path next to the road, a speeding pickup truck tried to pass the vehicle it was following. A car was coming in the other direction, and in order to avoid a head-on collision, the driver swerved onto the path, killing Glory. He kept on going. Most of the younger children at Hope Children’s Home attend Gikumene Primary School, located down the hill from Hope Children’s Home and across Meru Embu Road, the main artery between Nairobi and Meru. Our children cross this road four times a day — going to school in the morning, returning home for lunch, then back to school and crossing again at the end of the school day. For years we had been pressing local government to put a rumble strip in front of the school, and they had agreed to do so. Sadly, no rumble strip has been put in place. Feb. 11 was a normal school day. Eight-year-old Michelle Kirimi had just crossed the road on the way to school with her classmates when she was killed by a speeding vehicle

low-performing schools and increasing the number of charter schools, which can be operated by private corporations while receiving public education funds over local school districts with tightened budgets. Without any previous gradelevel Common Core preparation in English or math, the complete absence of curriculum materials and a lack of adequate teacher training, unprepared students were subjected to rigorous tests — 69 percent of them failed both. Scores went into student data and teachers were evaluated based on the test results. It was an unreliable and unfair system of grading students and judging teachers. The Cuomo/Tisch/King educational fiasco set off a revolution among parents, teachers and admin-

that veered off the road to avoid an oncoming car. Hopefully this tragedy will finally result in action being taken to slow the traffic on this section of road. This tragedy is tempered by the fact that 78 of Michelle’s brothers and sisters at Hope Children’s Home are being fed, clothed, housed and prepared for an independent adulthood. Sixteen have passed the test to enter secondary schools and nine are studying at technical schools or universities. Six of the young people we rescued more than a decade ago are now living independently. Two have married. Four others are working variously as a beautician, a cosmetics supplier, a teacher and a cell phone salesman. Donors in the U.S. have made it possible for the home to buy two greenhouses, land on which to grow food and milling machines that enable us to sell maize flour to the surrounding community. A school uniform manufacturing

istrators from Montauk to Niagara Falls. It’s predicted that 400,000 students in those grades will opt out of April’s English and math tests. The Race to the Top federal agenda has become politically radioactive. In the wake of this uproar, Duncan, Tisch and King resigned. Cuomo withdrew his support and now advocates for a four-year moratorium for more research and study. However, the same invalid and unreliable tests will be administered to unprepared students in April. The lunacy continues. Your only avenue of protest is to opt out and send a profound message to state officials. An education should not be reduced to a simple test score. Philip Griffith Port Jefferson

scheme and a welding operation at our Technical Training Center holds the promise of moving our operation toward self-sustainability. Avery Friedman, a 20-year-old from Shoreham, recently spent a month at the home, and during his visit bought fifteen 350-pound bags of coffee beans, which he plans to market on the East End, sharing the profits with the home. Kevin and Aida Mann from Middle Island, Tom and Barbara Lyon from Mount Sinai and Peter and Janet Wunsch from East Northport, all longtime supporters of the home, just got back from Kenya, having visited our children to assess their needs and enjoyed the natural beauty of the country. They spent time at the home and took a busload on safari to Meru Game Park, where the movie “Born Free” was filmed. They also visited the Sheldrake Elephant Orphanage in suburban Nairobi and stopped at Jomo Kenyatta University to see Doreen Gatwiri, one of our older girls who is now a pre-med sophomore. Before leaving, they met with authorities to ensure that we don’t lose any more of our children on the Meru Embu Road. Larry Hohler, the head of the Hope Children’s Fund, is a Port Jefferson resident who opened the Hope Children’s Home for AIDS-affected children with the help of a former student.

o more allowances. We want our children to eat, sleep and live well. Do we set a good example for our offspring? We know that what we do is more important than what we say. Do we want them to text or talk on the phone when they’re driving? Of course not. Do we engage in either activity when they’re in the car? All the time. When

you’re at the next stop sign or red light, look at the cars coming toward you. How many of those people are on the phone? Put down that phone! It’s not only safer for you, but it also gives your kids the right idea. OK, sorry, teachers this next one isn’t aimed at all of you. I’m tired of reading all the deductions on my son’s and daughter’s homework assignments from teachers whose writing deserves demerits. Sure, we all make mistakes and, yes, we can’t be right all the time. But this is ridiculous. The directions contain numerous errors. Are teachers setting the right example when they misspell words, repeat a word or — gasp — use the incorrect form of your? They should take an extra second to edit and proofread the material they give their students. The message the children get when they read their teachers’ writing is that grammar, word choice and rules of writing are only

important for students and for grades and don’t count, even inside the classroom. Children can spot hypocrisy from across the school. Years ago, at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School, my seventhgrade math teacher, Mr. Braun, said we’d get an extra five points if we spotted an error in anything he did. He was challenging us and himself and was helping us learn — and benefit — from his mistakes. Did he not make errors because he knew we were watching carefully or did he only make that deal with us because he didn’t make many mistakes? Either way, we paid closer attention to his — and our — work. OK, teachers, relax. I admire what you do and I appreciate the effort you put into your work. I know you have thousands of pages to grade. If you believe your writing matters, please lead by example. Then there are coaches. We volunteers face a difficult task.

We stand in front of a group of restless kids who want to score the winning basket, make their parents proud and be a hero. Everyone can’t play in every inning or in every second. We have difficult decisions. We also deal with parents who make unrealistic requests: “Yes, coach, can my daughter please bat first on Tuesday night games because she needs to leave early those nights.” The kids watch us carefully, not only to see if we approve of how they do, but also to see how we react to difficult situations. We’ve coached in games where the other coach, the players on the other team or the referees are violating some written or unwritten sporting code. Maybe the other coach has told his pitchers not to throw strikes because it’s getting darker. If we can’t finish the game, the score reverts to the earlier inning when they were winning. This isn’t a hypothetical — I know of at least one case where this happened.

Do we set a good example for our offspring? We could get angry, shout and throw equipment on the field. Is that the kind of behavior we should allow ourselves? Are we teaching our children how to deal with adversity? Do our allowances lead to their allowances later in life? Are we dooming them to repeat the actions we’re not proud of in the future? Maybe one of the toughest parts about being a parent is learning how to grow beyond the limitations we’ve carried with us from childhood. Some of those spring from our adult allowances. How about if we take a moment to recognize the allowances we make for ourselves. That could be constructive for us and for the little eyes that record everything we do on their own version of YouTube.

In praise of modern dentistry

hen I was a small child and had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I would put the light on and one of the first things I would see were two sets of false teeth sitting in small glasses of water on the shelf above the sink. The teeth belonged to my mother and father, and I knew they took them out of their mouths before

they went to bed and replaced them in the morning. So routine was this occurrence to me that I spent many minutes at a time searching my mouth with my fingers for the lever that would allow me to remove my teeth. Finally I asked my parents, who clued me in to the eventual failings of teeth. I was, after all, the child of two sets of ancestors who had faulty choppers. Again, I just accepted this as the natural course of my life. One day I thought I would be toothless, too, except for a few lucky strays that remained in mouth. Fast-forward more than half a century, and I still have almost all of my teeth. How did that enormous change come about? Dentistry is an area of health delivery that doesn’t get its proper due for the enormous advances from which we have benefited. The single best development that has preserved my teeth and those of the many millions of people

around the world is the root canal procedure. Now getting a root canal is a least favorite activity and deservedly so. But the journalist in me wants to tell the other side of the story, just to be fair. The patient I have been numerous times wants to salute the researchers and clinicians in dentistry. And although I am sitting at my keyboard in some pain at the moment from part one of a root canal procedure, which is what brought this subject to mind, I want to express my gratitude. What exactly is a root canal procedure? Although it’s not particularly difficult to understand, nonetheless it took centuries to invent. As I understand it, bacteria from a crack in the top of a tooth can get into the pulp below the naturally occurring enamel crown and cause an infection. Even if there is no infection, cold or heat or air can cause the nerves inside the

tooth to register pain, which is an alarm. The roots of the tooth have tiny canals in them in which the nerves reside. If the source of the intrusion that has stimulated the nerve cannot be repaired with a filling over the top of the tooth, then the pulpy decay below the enamel has to be cleaned out and the nerves have to be silenced to stop the pain. That is the function of the root canal procedure. After the nerves are removed, along with the site of any infection, the canals are filled with a sealer paste and rubber compound and covered with a dental cement to protect them from saliva. All of the above is the job of the endodontist or specialist who uses the sophisticated tools high tech has invented to make this delicate procedure possible and the anesthetic to make it bearable. The patient must then go on, typically to another dentist, to have a crown or cap precisely fitted over

Many millions of people have benefited from the root canal procedure. the top of the tooth to replace the natural enamel. Crowns used to be made optimally of gold, but are now form-fitted with synthetic material that can be tinted the same color as the rest of the teeth, if necessary. Interestingly, as a friend pointed out, there is something funny about the semantics involved. One goes to get “a root canal” even though one doesn’t receive “an appendix” but an appendectomy, nor “a tonsils” but a tonsillectomy. Perhaps the dental procedure should be called a “nerve homicide,” but that would only add more fear to an already fearful procedure. Well, that’s about the only funny aspect of this vital but stilldreaded tooth rescue.
