Northport-East Northport school budget up for revote

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Registered voters in the Northport-East Northport Union Free School District will have the opportunity to vote again on the 2021-22 school budget and tax levy Tuesday, June 15. During the May 18 vote, 2,069 voted “no” for the $174,704,748 budget, while 1,902 voted “yes.” According to the district’s mailing sent before May 18, the budget represented a spending increase of 1.13% and a tax levy increase of 0.75%. In the district mailing it was stated that the closing of Bellerose Avenue and Dickinson Avenue elementary schools, and the district restructuring the remaining buildings to a K-4, 5-8 and 9-12 model, would present the district an opportunity to increase financial efficiencies. The closing of the two school buildings was expected to save the district $7.1 million. The budget also included a $1,857,664 COVID-19 contingency fund. Before June 15, the district will hold a special meeting for the final adoption of the proposed budget Thursday, May 27, at 7 p.m. at Northport High School. The meeting will be followed by a public hearing Thursday, June 3, at Northport High School. On May 18, voters passed two propositions. Proposition 2 will establish a capital reserve

fund not to exceed $20 million over a 10-year period. Proposition 3 will alter transportation boundaries. Students in grades 6-8 will be able to take the bus if they live within a 0.75mile limit as opposed to the current 1-mile limit. The boundary limits for grades 9-12 will change from the current 1.5-mile limit to a new 1-mile limit. Voting will be held June 15 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Polling places can be found on the district’s website, www.northport.k12.ny.us/ district/budget_information.

Huntington declares Juneteenth observed town holiday

During the Huntington Town Board meeting May 11, which was held remotely, the town board members designated Juneteenth an observed town holiday, according to a press release from Huntington officials. Juneteenth is celebrated throughout the U.S. on June 19. The Town Board established Juneteenth as an official town holiday to celebrate the fulfillment of President Abraham Lincoln’s order to end slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation. “Juneteenth is a holiday to be celebrated by all Americans as it is the moment in history all Americans became free,” said town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci, who sponsored the resolution creating the holiday. “It’s important to recognize the emancipation of our citizens who were enslaved, reflect upon their sacrifices and contributions, and recognize the significant progress we’ve made as a country in the century and a half since that time.” The same resolution establishing Juneteenth as an official observed town holiday also established a one-time pandemic compensatory time program for eligible essential employees. As a

form of “hazard” compensation, eligible employees who worked in-person 75% of more of their workdays between March 16, 2020, and June 8, 2020, will receive up to five paid days off for time worked based on a formula; the time off must be used by June 2022. “When the entire world was being told to stay home, certain essential town employees reported to work in-person to take on high-risk tasks necessary to ensure the safety of our residents, employees and facilities at a time of mass uncertainty,” Lupinacci said. At the meeting opening, Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) called for a moment of silence to honor the life of Centerport resident Dylan Thompson, a member of the Town of Huntington Citizens Advisory Committee for Persons with Disabilities, who passed away at the age of 27 the prior week. Thompson, who had fought Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy for years, was appointed to the committee at the February 2021 Town Board meeting after his June 2020 request to increase accessibility at town beaches resulted in the deployment of mobile “Mobi” mats to make sand and water more accessible for all beachgoers.

Local legislators lead the fight to fill state road potholes

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

A bipartisan group of representatives from local, state and federal elected offices, civics and the community gathered to call on the governor to repair New York state roads with federal funding. Spearheaded by Suffolk County Legislator Nick Caracappa (R-Selden), he demanded that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) gives his immediate attention to the unsafe state roads, specifically in Suffolk County. Caracappa said roads like I-495 (the Long Island Expressway), Route 27 (Sunrise Highway) and Route 25 (Middle Country Road) have potholes the size of craters, that cannot just damage a vehicle, but could potentially take a life. “The current state of these roadways presents very hazardous, dangerous driving conditions to the millions of commuters who depend upon these roadways on a daily basis,” Caracappa said at the May 21 press conference outside the state building in Hauppauge. “Whether it be for work or leisure, commuters place themselves in harm’s way when entering these roadways throughout Suffolk County and beyond.” The legislator noted that the county’s roads occupy over one million commuters on a daily basis. When a driver blows out a tire on the side of a busy highway, he could be putting his life at risk, stepping out of the car to examine the damage. “The residents of Suffolk County in New York pay some of the highest taxes in this Legislator Rob Calarco welcomes Legislator Nick Caracappa to the podium during the press conference last Friday. Photo by Julianne Mosher country,” he added. “There are better, safer and more secure roadways than those we are Romaine said this needs to change.“We accident, injury or death caused by the current Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy currently forced to utilize on a daily basis … need to make sure that the guys that ride road conditions of these roadways, with Jr. (R) added that Long Island is finally “mask the lives of the hardworking commuters and bikes, the guys who drive cars, the gals that restitution given to those who have been major free” and tourism will be back. their family members should not be put in peril drive cars, that they’re safe, these roads are under the conditions that can be likened only “Let’s talk about commerce and equity each and every time.” not safe,” he said. “The money is there — let’s to a war-torn country,” Caracappa said. “We of a $5 billion East End tourism industry,” The meeting came after spend it where it should have an obligation to ensure the safety of our he said. “People from all over the tri-state ‘Whether it be for work or the legislator issued a letter be spent.

Mental health walk-in help Police seeking man inside the local pharmacy for allegedly stealing

People might soon be able to grab their prescriptions, a bag of potato chips and pick up soap as they head into a new therapy service at their local CVS. The nation’s pharmacy retail giant has started a new service at several of their stores across the U.S. — offering both walk-in and scheduled sessions for mental health treatment. These appointments are available beyond typical daytime hours, including nights and weekends. According to a spokesperson with CVS Health, the company began adding licensed clinical social workers trained in cognitive behavioral therapy to 13 locations in the Houston, Philadelphia and Tampa metro areas in January of this year. These providers will offer mental health assessments, referrals and personalized counseling either in person or via telehealth through MinuteClinics inside CVS HealthHUB store locations. The spokesperson said the company is planning on expanding to 34 locations this spring. “We anticipate expanding mental health services into additional markets in the coming months,” the representative said in an email. “We expect to have more detailed information soon.” Rite Aid and Walmart have started similar programs, too. And although MinuteClinics and the like are not available in New York state yet, Dr. Adam Gonzalez, director of behavioral health and founding director of the Mind-Body Clinical Research Center at the Stony Brook Renaissance School of Medicine, said this could potentially be a good day if such facilities were to come close to home. “The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many challenges and disruptions to our way of life,” he said. “We have seen an increase in depression, anxiety, increased stress overall and grief responses. Recent mental health data from the CDC also highlights an increase in mental health problems, especially among young adults, and importantly, unmet mental health needs.” According to Gonzalez, a recent CDC report indicates that during August 2020 through this February “the percentage of adults with recent symptoms of an anxiety or a depressive disorder increased from 36.4% to 41.5%, and the percentage of those reporting an unmet mental health care need increased from 9.2% to 11.7%. Increases were largest among adults aged 18–29 years and those with less than a high school education.”

“There is a great need for mental health awareness and treatment at this time,” Gonzalez added. “A silver lining of the pandemic has been the expansion and use of telehealth as a platform for treatment, allowing patients to participate in mental health treatment from the comfort of their home. However, a limiting factor for accessing care is the availability of providers.” He said throughout the pandemic, SBU’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health saw a great increase in the need for mental health care — so large, it developed a call center. “Throughout the pandemic we have consistently been receiving over 7,000 calls per month,” the director said. “Evaluating our outpatient data for the three months before the pandemic and the current last three months, there has been a 50% increase in number of visits scheduled for outpatient mental health services. Of note, the number of visits scheduled is limited by the number of providers available to provide services.” With the need for mental health providers continuing to grow, Gonzalez said additional services — like the ones at the CVS pharmacy chain — could be helpful. “I think having services available at CVS could help with normalizing mental health treatment and increasing access to care,” he said. “The more mental health service options available to the community, the better. One consideration is the type and quality of care to be delivered. Although it is important to increase access, we also want to make sure that the quality of care being delivered is high.” But if and when the retailers open up shop on Long Island, Stony Brook Medicine is working on finding ways to reduce feelings of hopelessness and distress. “We are actively working on investigating various methods of delivering care to help with increasing access to treatment and addressing the mental health needs of the community,” Gonzalez said. These methods include expanding groupbased services, utilizing a collaborative care model that involves working closely with primary care physicians and behavioral health care managers for medication management, and utilizing skills-based single-session interventions. “We have been working with Dr. Jessica Schleider in the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University to implement and study a problem-solving single-session intervention,” he added. “Initial data indicates that these sessions help with improving agency — motivation for change — and reduce feelings of hopelessness and distress.”

Congrats to the future faces of journalism

As part of the dozen small commencement ceremonies that occurred last week at Stony Brook University, TBR News Media wanted to give a special congratulations to the graduates of the Stony Brook University School of Communication and Journalism. We stopped by their graduation on Thursday, May 20, to talk to a few future reporters about why they chose the profession and what journalism means to them.

Scholarship, which supports young writers interested in pursuing careers in journalism. He said he always wanted to be a television reporter, and after his studies at the SoCJ, he landed a job — starting this week— at a news station in Tyler, Texas. “I knew that journalism was a facet for me because it would allow me to be on TV, either for meteorology or Spanish sports coverage. In the end, it ended up being news, which is the start of it all, but I know that I can maximize my talents there,” he said. “Plus, I love talking to people so it’s just a perfect ﬁt.”

Melissa Azofeifa

Kimberly Brown

Brianne Ledda

TBR News Media intern Kimberly Brown began writing for our six newspapers in December 2020. Over the last ﬁve months, she has covered everything from small business to police reform. “I went into journalism because I have a passion for writing,” she said. “If I’m not writing, I’m not happy.” After graduation, the Seaford native hopes to continue working with community news. “I really liked supporting my local community and doing local journalism,” she said. “It’s become my passion and I had the best mentors at TBR to help me and guide me.”

SoCJ graduate Brianne Ledda said she has already been hired at another local paper starting this summer. The Miller Place resident will be working as a reporter with the Times Review Media Group in Riverhead. During her time at SBU, she held the title of editor-in-chief of the Stony Brook Statesman. She was the recipient of The Alumni Association Dean’s Choice Award, which recognizes a highly accomplished and exceptional graduating senior. “I chose journalism because I love to learn and I wanted to pick a career that would allow me to continue doing that and interacting with the world around me,” she said.

BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

“I chose journalism because I’m very much a people person,” said Hampton Bays local Melissa Azofeifa. “I love talking to people and hearing their stories.” With the goal to be a multimedia journalist after graduation, she said she can’t wait to continue her journey as a reporter. “I’ve learned a lot, but I know there’s a lot more to learn to accurately tell someone else’s story,” she said. While in school, she was managing editor of the university newspaper, The Statesman.

Alek Lewis

Riverhead resident Alek Lewis started in journalism after taking an elective course at Suffolk County Community College. He realized there that he wanted to write and he was good at it. After transferring to Stony Brook, he said his love for journalism continued to grow. “Now, it’s something I’m super passionate about. And it’s what I want to do, possibly for the rest of my life,” he said. “So, this degree is a testament to the hard work that I put in, and I know that the work’s only going to get harder.”

Congratulations to TBR News Media’s intern Kimberly Brown and freelance writer Andrew Zucker on their graduation from Stony Brook University!

Perspectives

Three Northport Lady Tiger stars share COVID-19 experiences

Recently, three student-athletes from Northport High School shared their experiences with playing sports during the pandemic.

Emma Blanco, senior

Four weeks and only eight games — that is all the Northport Lady Tigers got this season. Compared to the four months that we usually get for a basketball season, you can definitely say that this year was something different. The Covid-19 pandemic was something that no one saw coming, and it hit everyone hard. Last year, our season was cut short right before we were about to play the Long Island Girls Championship game. This year we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to get on the court again after so much uncertainty about resuming high school sports. COVID-19 was something that no high school sport had ever experienced, and as the winter season was the first that could play, we were the guinea pigs. The masks, social distancing, weekly testing and contact tracing was new territory for everyone. In the past, we would have been practicing and playing in both summer and fall leagues. These programs not only help us grow as a team skills wise, but give us more time to bond as teammates. Luckily, all the girls who returned this year had played on the varsity team last year or had been pulled up from the junior varsity team for playoffs in 2020. I knew from the first practice that all the girls were excited, motivated, and ready to get on the court again, and we were determined to make the best of the short season that we were given. The uncertainty that surrounded the season was definitely stressful. Hearing about other teams that could not play because they were in quarantine after a teammate tested positive — we knew that the season could be taken away just as fast as it started. The optimistic and positive attitude that our team had from the beginning was so crucial to our team’s success. We all knew how important it was to follow the guidelines so that everyone stayed healthy during the season. Due to COVID restrictions, fans were not allowed at any of our games. We ran a fundraiser that allowed all of our families and fans to purchase cardboard cutouts that would be placed in the stands during all of our home games. It was nice to look out into the stands and see familiar faces, but it did not come close to comparing to the roaring crowds that were in the stands the previous year. Our team filled the void by keeping a positive attitude on and off the court. Although this was not the season that everyone had hoped for, it was an unforgettable experience that will go down in Northport Lady Tiger history. I am so grateful that I had the chance

to lead the team as co-captain and to play as a Northport Lady Tiger one last time before graduating in both basketball and field hockey. I will always look back on my years as a Lady Tiger with the fondest of memories. Emma Blanco plays girls basketball and was captain in 2021 and was part of the 2020 Suffolk County Championship team. She was named All League II in 2021 and Suffolk County AllAcademic team with an average over 100. She also plays field hockey and was part of the Suffolk County and Long Island Championship team in 2021.

Sophia Yearwood, junior

Having an opportunity to play in the 2021 season gave us hope and relief. As a team we all began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was proud to be on the court with teammates who demonstrated such resilience and determination. We had to accept a new reality which was having less time to sharpen our skills, prepare, and bond as a team for this season. We did face some adversity, as we had injuries, quarantines and losses that could have and should have been wins. However,

we relied on one another to keep us strong and focused, while continuing to develop as a team. Our coaches emphasize the importance of teamwork and encouraged us to inspire and motivate each other. I remember the day of our first game this season. I think we were all so excited that it was in fact happening when there had been so much doubt. I remember proudly putting on my uniform and walking into the gym. It was such a great feeling to see all my teammates dressed in their uniforms as well ready to play! I could feel the energy, anticipation and emotion that filled the room. It actually felt like we were all returning home after being away for way too long. Sophia Yearwood plays on the girls basketball team and was part of the 2020 Suffolk County Championship team and a three-year starter, All County in 2020 and 2021 and on Newsday’s Top 100 players on Long Island. She is also a starter for the varsity volleyball team.

Sophia Bica, junior

The best word I could use to describe playing sports during the pandemic is ‘differen.t’ Every team had to adjust to the new rules

made by the state such as getting tested before games and wearing masks as we played. I think the toughest thing teams had to deal with was the testing because it would take a lot of time out of the day. Also, if the team that you played had somebody with a positive COVID-19 test, your team would get quarantined too. I can confidently say that everybody involved was more than willing to do all of these things just so we could have a season. Although a couple of teams only played one or two games, my teams were fortunate enough to play full seasons although it was very different from what we are used to. But all of the girls, players and coaches, on every team, came together to make the most of it. Sophia Bica plays on the girls basketball team. She is a three-year starter, All County in 2020 and 2021 and on Newsday’s Top 100 players on Long Island. She was a Suffolk County Basketball Champion in 2020. She is captain of the field hockey team that won both Suffolk County and Long Island Championships in 2021 and was this year’s Suffolk County Player of the Year for field hockey as well as First Team All Long Island and All New York State.

State Sen. Mario Mattera speaks at the May 21 press conference. Photo by Julianne Mosher

A bumpy ride toward better roads

Last week, May 21, dozens of people from all walks of life gathered in front of the state office in Hauppauge to talk about how New York needs to fix its roadways. Spearheaded by county Legislator Nick Caracappa (R-Selden), he had a bipartisan group of local and state representatives, as well as advocates for the safety of drivers, riders and walkers. The idea behind the press conference was to demand that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) fund more money toward fixing our roadways. Ironically enough, that morning, a $30.6 million investment for resurface and repair projects was granted for Long Island state roads. But the meeting was still relevant. We heard the stories of motorcyclists, bike riders and people who choose to walk alongside state-run roads. They said how terrifying it is to navigate through the craters within the streets that are otherwise called potholes. They are dangerous, and we applaud the legislator for standing his ground demanding more. We all complain that the roads are terrible around here — some towns are better than others because they have jurisdiction over their lanes. But when it comes to state roads — roads like Route 25 which drives completely through our newspapers’ coverage area, the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway — not only is it scary when you unintentionally hit a pothole, but it can be damaging to our vehicles. Is New York State going to pay us back for the blown-out tires we’ve gotten driving to work? Are they going to repair our dented rims? No, they won’t. But the least the state can do is continuously fix up the large holes that sink into the blacktop. We know that it’s hard to keep up with. We know a lot of work goes into it. But after Friday’s conference, we know that there are many of us who want our major roadways to be safe.

Community News

Student from Commack honored at Sheriff’s office On May 6, Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. hosted 11th grade Commack High School Student Melody Luo as his “Ambassador for the Day” Sandy Hook Promise Essay Contest Winner. This annual essay contest was held as part of the Sheriff’s Office’s collaboration with the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation. Melody wrote a heartfelt essay about her Asian heritage, the rise in violence against the Asian community, and a culture of silence that she attributes to why hate crimes, bullying and harassment are underreported in the Asian community. Melody read her winning essay during a celebratory breakfast at the Yaphank Facility with Toulon and staff members. Afterwards, Melody received greetings from the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, received a certificate, and engaged in discussion with officers about Sandy Hook Promise’s initiatives and anti-Asian violence. She and her mother, Lynn, also took a tour of the jail and the START Resource Center. The winning contest essays were announced by Toulon in March and Melody took first place out of 91 submissions from seven school districts. Toulon also sat down with Melody to interview her for “A New Perspective,” a new show produced by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office for YouTube and government access television stations. They discussed bullying and anti-Asian violence

and how it affects students of all ages. “Melody is an asset to the Commack School District and the Suffolk County Community. She is a bright, insightful young woman and I was proud to name her “Ambassador for the Day,” Toulon said. “We can learn a lot by speaking with our younger generations, and I am honored to have had the opportunity to speak with her today.”

For more information on the collaboration between the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, visit www.SuffolkSheriff. com and click on “Community and School Programs.” Melody Luo’s winning essay can be found at tbrnewsmedia.com.

Letters to the Editor

Zeldin doesn’t deserve to be governor U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] has voted to remove Congresswoman Liz Cheney [R-WY] from her Republican leadership position in the House of Representatives. This after she spoke truth to power in sharing her belief that President Joe Biden [D] won the election, and that the Jan. 6 attack on our Capitol was encouraged by our former President Donald Trump

[R]. State governors, Republican and Democratic, have accepted the results of the election. Because millions more citizens voted for the president than his opponent, Biden won in the Electoral College. The Supreme Court has ruled that the election results showed our president won. Zeldin continues to question the election results and to unseat truth-

telling Cheney from her House GOP leadership position. He has downplayed the seriousness of the invasion of our Capitol. For these reasons he does not deserve to continue as our representative in Congress, and certainly not to be the governor of our state.

I’m learning about the shareholder approval last week of the Tribune Publishing newspaper chain — including the New York Daily News — by Alden Global Capital hedge fund. This company is known for slashing staff, draining the lifeblood of newspapers it has taken over and has been called a

“vulture” by some in the trade. A news conglomerate threatens independent perspectives. The acquisition highlights the importance of journalist voices in local newspapers. The strength of a society is built on independent news outlets. It is the Fourth Estate.

While TBR News Media remains owned and operated by its local founder, I hope they reinvest in staffing, and fortify their future. To that, our family has renewed its print subscription.

Opinion Don’t brag about losing weight or your dog and other unwritten rules

few weeks ago, a Chicago White Sox player named Yermin Mercedes did what he was paid to do, hitting a ball far. His manager Tony La Russa was furious because his player broke an unwritten rule, swinging at a 3-0 pitch from an infielder for the Minnesota Twins when his team was already winning by 11 runs. The next day, La Russa seemed fine with a Minnesota pitcher throwing a pitch behind the knees of Mercedes D. None as punishment for a violation of that of the above unwritten rule. BY DANIEL DUNAIEF So, what are other possible random unwritten rules regarding life

sportsmanship and what should the potential punishments be for violating those rules? For starters, if you’ve lost a lot of weight, you don’t need to ask other people who clearly haven’t lost any weight, or perhaps have put on pandemic pounds, how they’re doing on their diet or if they’ve lost weight. They haven’t lost any weight. We know it, they know and you know it. You don’t need to contrast your success with their failure. The punishment for that kind of infraction should be that you have to eat an entire box of donuts or cookies in under a minute. If you rescued a dog from the vet or the pound or from a box beneath a bridge in the middle of an urban war zone, you don’t need to ask where I got my overpriced and poorly trained dog. We get it: you did something great rescuing a dog, while those of us with designer dogs are struggling to get them to be quiet while we repeat the few answers we get right to

the questions on “Jeopardy!” The punishment for such self-righteous dog ownership should be that you have to pick up the designer dog’s poop for a day. If you’ve been over virtuous, you also might have to compliment him on the excellent quality of his droppings and send other people a TikTok of your poop flattery. If your kid just won the chess championship, you don’t need to wear a different T-shirt each day of the week that captures the moment of her triumph. The punishment for over bragging is that you have to wear a tee shirt that says, “Your kid is just as amazing as mine and certainly has better parents.” If you’re in first class on a plane and you board first to sit in your larger, more comfortable seat, you don’t have to look away every time someone might make eye contact or, worse, through your fellow passengers. You aren’t obligated to look at everyone, but you can make periodic eye contact or provide a nod

of recognition to the plebeians from group six. The punishment for such above-it-all behavior should be that you have to echo everything the flight attendant says as others board the plane, offering a chipper “good morning” or “welcome aboard.” Finally, if you’ve taken a spectacular vacation, you don’t need to share every detail of your trip, from the type of alcohol you drank to the sweet smell of the ocean breeze to the sight of a baby bird hatching just outside your window. If you overdo the unsolicited details, you’ll have to listen to every mundane detail of the person’s life who was home doing his or her job while you were relaxing. Afterwards, you’ll have to take a test on his story. If you fail, you have to listen to more details, until you can pass. Maybe Mr. La Russa has a point: unwritten rules could be a way to enforce life sportsmanship outside the lines.

Two new trends for improving mental health

robably because of COVID-19, there has been more discussion in the media about depression, anxiety and mental health in general. CVS, the nation’s largest retail pharmacy, and the one started by local philanthropist Ward Melville by the way, is creating a new niche for its many stores. It has been hiring licensed clinical social workers for a pilot project in several cities and will offer walk-in sessions or by appointment. The social workers are trained in cognitive Between behavior therapy or you and me CBT. I believe that is BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF generally a form of short term therapy in which the immediate problem is discussed and treated using evidence-based techniques. According to an article in The New York Times, May 10,

social workers will offer assessments, referrals and counseling. They will be available during the day and also on evenings and weekends, and also by telemedicine. They will partner with the company’s nurse practitioners and pharmacists for prescriptions when needed. This will be yet another nonemergency health care service the chain is providing, as they have most recently offered coronavirus vaccines for the public. Now others beside pharmacies like Rite Aid and Walgreens, who are also planning mental health care, are seeing opportunity in the health field. Albertsons, a grocery chain, offers injectable antipsychotic drugs as well as injectable medication to help treat substance abuse. And a while ago, I got my first shingles vaccine in a drug store. What a change from the pharmacy of my childhood. I well remember walking down to the drug store five blocks away in New York City with my dad, before I was even of elementary school age, to buy ice cream. That was the only place with a freezer, and the selections were Breyer’s vanilla, or chocolate, or vanilla, chocolate and strawberry together

in half gallon containers. They were in a freezer chest, like a foot locker, and when I leaned in to pick the selection, the cold took my breath away. The pharmacy also had a counter where we could sit and get sundaes and milkshakes. But most of the time, we carried the ice cream carton home, hurriedly so it wouldn’t melt, to eat together with the rest of the family. Another recent focus in the mental health field is on food. And sadly the foods we typically turn to when we are stressed, inevitably sugar-laden and of high fat like ice cream, pastries, pizza and hamburgers, now are on the mental wellness bad list. Nutritional psychiatry is an emerging field which looks at the relationship between diet and mental health. The idea that what we eat can affect our physical health is an accepted one, and now the same concept is extended to our mental wellbeing with the following physiological specifics thanks to research. “A healthy diet promotes a healthy gut, which communicates with the brain through what is known as the gut-brain axis. Microbes
