While 13 different languages are spoken in the Three Village program, the majority of students speak Spanish and Chinese dialects.
While some districts have seen an increase in ELL students, some have seen a decrease or have remained steady. According to a district spokesperson for the Northport-East Northport school district, the number of ELL students has remained stable. Currently, out of the 4,533 students enrolled in the district, 167 are ELL students, which is approximately 3.7% of the student population.
“Student success increases when there is someone at home who is involved in the child’s education,” she said.
Educators have found various ways to help children learn the English language, acclimate to life on Long Island and sometimes include the parents in leisure activities.
As for studies, Graham said, “Students receive modified work based on their proficiency levels and lesson plans include scaffolded materials with both content and languageNicoleobjectives.”Waldbauer, director of humanities at Shoreham-Wading River school district, said during her five-year tenure as director, the number of students has grown steadily by a few each year. Last year, she said there were 27 students throughout the district, and this year 29. The students represent less than 1.5% of the student
Toward the end of the 2021-22 school year, Harborfields High School’s English language learners visited Stony Brook University where they toured the buildings, lecture halls, student center and library, according to a district press release. The trip allowed students to explore post-secondary education options. While on campus, the high school students also interviewed an SBU student.
While the increase of English language learners hasn’t been drastic, districts at times compete with neighboring communities to secure ENL teachers as the number of teachers certified in the field hasn’t kept up with the increase of Waldbauerstudents.saidENL teachers are special and unique people who ensure students are receiving a proper education and any services they need, plus are in touch with parents regularly answering any questions they may have: “They go above and beyond with just instructing the kids.”
Whenpopulation.shestarted with the district, she said there was one ENL teacher, who would travel to the different school buildings as the students are spread out throughout the grades and schools. Now there are three instructors, plus additional hours for them to work. When the hours are combined, they are the equivalent of a part-time position for the district.
“All families go through an orientation when their students are screened,” Golini said. “In the fall we host a parent academy to help families navigate the website, use email to communicate, complete forms requested by the district, [submit] applications for free and reduced lunch, and access the parent portal.”
Depending on their levels, determined by an assessment, the students are either in a cotaught class or general education class where the ENL teacher will be available for support. Children who are less proficient in English will have a stand-alone period for one-on-one with a teacher.“Theway that the state regulations work, their level dictates how many minutes of one-to-one or small group instruction they get strictly in ENL versus how many minutes they get of integrated co-teaching,” Waldbauer said. “They’re not separated from the general population. That was a change over time that the state ed department had made to make sure that there was more inclusivity.”
Golini said it’s the district’s “goal to increase parent engagement.”
Fun ways to learn
Teachers
EDUCATION
New York State guidelines require ELL students to have integrated and stand-alone classes depending on comprehension level. In addition to instruction, there are also opportunities for parents to partake in activities.
In the same district, at the end of last school year, Oldfield Middle School students went on a field trip to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City to learn about aviation and aerospace history on Long Island.
North Shore school districts embrace English language learners
SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • TIMES HUNTINGTON & NORTHPORT • PAGE A5
School districts across the North Shore have experienced an increase in English language learners over the last severalEnglishyears. language learner refers to a student who is age 5 or older and who is learning English as a New Language — formerly known as English as a Second Language. This is an approach in which students who are not native English speakers are mainly taught in English. The respective abbreviated current terms are ELL and ENL.
“We had more ELLs involved in the 3V community this past year than ever before,” sheOthersaid. activities in the district included elementary students visiting the library and high school students touring the Suffolk County Community College campus.
Waldbauer said with grant money, the Shoreham-Wading River district was able to have an after-school tutoring program for ENL students from K to 8. Last year there was also a Saturday enrichment program that included field trips for the students and their families who along with the teachers and Waldbauer, visited places such as Quogue Wildlife Refuge and the Long Island Aquarium.
Students tackling English
Golini said in the Three Village distinct a social event is held for all ELL families in the spring “to provide them with an opportunity to connect with each other and feel a part of the community.”

In the Smithtown school district, in the fall of 2021, Accompsett Middle School students created welcome signs in their native languages. In addition to English, the signs were written in Hebrew, Hungarian, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian.
“The goal of that was to get the families all together and to have them make connections, but then also giving them a safe space and place to integrate into the community with people there,” she said.
The number of English language learners varies from district to district along the North Shore of Western Suffolk County. For example, the New York State Education Department reports on its website more than 1,000 students were English language learners in the Huntington school district in the 2020-21 academic year. The district is listed as having 4,236 students enrolled overall in that same year. In the Middle Country school district, a spokesperson said 639 were enrolled in the ENL program this year out of the 8,534 students attending. Smaller districts such as Cold Spring Harbor had 15 students learning English, with 1,585 students overall in 202021. Port Jefferson had 38 ELL students with an overall enrollment of 962, according to the NYSED website, during the same school year.
Kerri Golini, Three Village school district’s director of World Language and English as a New Language, said the ENL population in the district has increased by 21% in the past year.
BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
Vicenza Graham, director of World Languages, ENL and Library Media Services in the Smithtown school district, said, families in the district also receive an orientation with translation services “in order to help acclimate our newcomers to their new school environment.”
Currently, these students represent 2% of the district’s overall population.
A spokesperson for Harborfields and Elwood school districts said Harborfields has experienced a modest decrease from 3.8% of the student population being ELL students last year to 3.6% this year. In Elwood, the percentage has increased slightly from 6.1% at the end of June to approximately 6.3% at the beginning of this academic year.
According to administrators from local districts, while the majority of students enrolled as English language learners are Spanish speaking, other languages spoken are Chinese dialects, Portuguese, Korean, Turkish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Ukrainian and Urdu, the official language of Pakistan. A smaller percentage speak Russian, Haitian Creole, Arabic, languages from India such as Tamil and Telugu and the Iranian Pashto, according to NYSED.
With COVID-19 restrictions lifted, Golini said the hope is to plan more evening events for the families. She has also worked with teachers to help increase ELL students’ participation in extracurricular activities and sports.
If that’s the case, he recommended that people receive their updated COVID shot first, and then get the flu vaccine.
With 29 county deaths so far in the month, local doctors urge COVID caution
Nizza said he planned to get the flu shot in late October.
Clouston urged those who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity or asthma to take steps to protect their health.
The list of underlying medical conditions that might make COVID worse includes physical inactivity and mood disorders such as depression and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
and if you’re over 55 or 60, you should be looking at it,” Clouston said. “Don’t wait until November.”
Based on what’s happening in the county in terms of hospitalizations and deaths, “I don’t think we’re near the end,” said Sean Clouston, associate professor in the Program in Public Health and the Department of Family, Population and Preventive Medicine at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University.
“Theco-authored.riskisnotenormous,” said Clouston. The study does add to the information that COVID does “damage to the body and may cause outcomes later on.”
“If you haven’t had [a booster] for a while
To be sure, the types of symptoms from those who contract COVID are more manageable than they were during the worst of the pandemic, some doctors said.
If people are concerned about their vulnerability or the vulnerability of people with whom they interact, they should also consider getting better masks, such as N95s and KN95s, Clouston added.
Vaccination order
Not so fast.
In other COVID news last week, a study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease by Pamela Davis, distinguished university professor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, found that older people infected with COVID had a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease within a year than people of the same age who didn’t contract the virus.
HEALTH
On the whole, Clouston believes people should continue to protect themselves in the fall and winter from the flu and COVID.
While President Joe Biden (D) recently said the pandemic was “over,” and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the World Health Organization, said the “end is in sight,” local health officials suggested the virus remains a threat to area “SARS-CoV-2residents.continues to circulate throughout the world and in Suffolk County, where we are seeing hundreds of new cases each day,” Dr. Gregson Pigott, Suffolk County Commissioner of Health, wrote in an email. “We all need to continue to take this virus seriously and continue to protect our most vulnerable residents, through vaccines, boosters and non-pharmaceutical measures.”
The county had 29 deaths in September through the 19th, which is more than one death per day attributable to COVID-19. At the same time, the number of people hospitalized with COVID in the county was at 178.
Even though Dr. Stacy Eagle, director of psychiatry at Port Jefferson-based St. Charles Hospital, hasn’t seen more severe cases of COVID among patients who have anxiety or depression, she said any type of respiratory illness can be “exacerbated by anxiety.”
The risk of showing Alzheimer’s symptoms climbed to 0.68% from 0.35% in the year after infection, according to a study Davis
“Let us not become hardened to the deaths and suffering this virus has caused,” Pigott added.
In broader terms, having more diseases or conditions exacerbates the effect of COVID, doctors said.
BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
As a rule of thumb, Clouston said people lose about 15% of their antibodies every month, which means that if they are far enough away from their most recent shot, they should give serious consideration to receiving the latest vaccination.
“Neither of those things has happened,” Nizza
“We’re experiencing a lull in severe hospitalizations and illnesses,” said Dr. Philip Nizza, chief of Infectious Disease at Mather Hospital and attending infectious disease physician at St. Charles Hospital

In terms of timing, the flu typically picks up around October, as more students in school contract the virus.
Still, Nizza added that he wasn’t “ready to call anything over.” For that to be the case, the population would need herd immunity or people would have had to stop contracting the virus.
Doctorsadded.recommend that people stay up to date on their boosters, including new shots from Pfizer and Moderna. These new boosters offer protection against the latest omicron strains, such as ba.5 and ba.275.
Alzheimer’s and COVID study
While Clouston said people can get the flu and COVID vaccines at the same time, he understood that some residents would prefer to get them separately.
“There’s a ton of COVID around and not a ton of flu,” he said.

Northport Tigers battle Thunderbirds to the end

Hills East was able to recover the onsides kick and run out the clock.
“I’d like to play them again,” he said. “If we do get that chance, we can’t wait around until the fourth quarter. We need to play smart football from the opening kickoff until the end of the game.”
But the next big play would come from Johansen to Miller. As he’s done time and time again throughout his Tiger career, the West Pointbound senior would slant across the middle of the field and raise his right hand to signal to his quarterback that he was open. Johansen found him at the T-bird 25-yard line and Miller rumbled toward the left corner of the end zone. He was knocked out of bounds at the pylon by Hills East defensive back Morgan Taliefero.
“I think that play was a good spark for us,” said Raio, whose big play got Northport to the T-bird 5-yard line. “We had that same play called in the first half, but I ran the wrong route. I wasn’t going to make the same mistake again.”
BY STEVEN ZAITZ DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
After a T-bird punt, Johansen, who finished 10 for 22 for 140 yards passing, hit wide receiver Nick Valenti on a 10-yard square-out, scrambled for 10 himself, and handed it to Raio for another 10, and the Tigers were again at the goal line. Johansen calmly took a quick snap and plunged into the end
With a minute remaining, Johansen cashed in the touchdown on the next play with his third sneak of the game. It was now 22-20 with the twopoint try coming and Tiger Nation in a state of jubilant disbelief.
Once again, it was a picture-perfect Cow Harbor weekend in Northport.Thesun was out, the racers raced, and there was a joyous festival-like feeling in the village and throughout the town, with one notable exception — Tiger Football Stadium.
“Football is about adjustments,” Pat Campbell said. “As a team, we need to anticipate situations and adapt to adversity. We didn’t do any of those things to start the game, but in the end, I liked the way we battled.”
“We ran that play in practice a bunch of times and we had it down pat,” Campbell said. “We worked on it over and over for just that situation, but we just didn’t execute it on gameday.”
zone for the Tigers second touchdown. A smidgen over three minutes remained, it was suddenly a one score game, and the Cow Harbor Comeback was officially on.
Despite the two quick scores, there was still the matter of the home team trailing by eight with a clock that was not exactly Tiger-friendly. Hills East head coach Alex Marcelin knew the tide had swirled against the T-birds and tried to steady his “Northportship.is the number two ranked team in the conference for a reason,” Marcelin said. “I knew we weren’t going to be able to run right over them and in that fourth quarter, we started to make mistakes and those mistakes started to roll up into a major problem. I did my best to calm my guys down and told them to make a play. Just make a play.”
The Half Hollow Hills East Thunderbirds waltzed into Northport on Sept. 17, took advantage of every Tiger mistake, and by the end of the third quarter, had three touchdowns and a field goal against the vaunted Northport defense. It was 22-0 and the building was library quiet.
“I told them that we didn’t work hard in practice all week for nothing,” Macke recounted. “I said that we needed to pick our heads up, get rolling and get back into this game and that’s exactly what we did.”
Campbell, never one to give excuses, is not playing with a full deck of cards when it comes to his coaching staff. His brother and offensive coordinator Dan “Boomer” Campbell is on family leave to start the year, and Dave Wilson, who coaches both the offensive and defensive lines, was called away on Saturday and could not be at the game, leaving Pat Campbell short-staffed. He wouldn’t say so, but these factors have put him and his team at a competitive disadvantage from a preparedness standpoint.
Johansen punched it in with a quarterback sneak on the first play of the fourth quarter and it was

Battle they did. After Hills East junior quarterback Jordan Heyman hit Max Futter over the middle for an 8-yard touchdown with a minute to go in the third quarter, there was a mini exodus of Tiger fans headed for the parking lot as Hills East went up by 22. They would have been wise to stay in their seats.
This22-7.Tiger touchdown not only changed the scoreboard, but it ushered in a palpable swing in momentum. The tremendous body of work and the good fortune that Hills East enjoyed for the first 36 minutes started to melt in the mid-afternoon sun.
“I should have gotten that ball on him (Miller) and given him a chance to make a play,” said a disappointed Johansen.
Hills East has now beaten Northport twice in a row, and Campbell hopes there is another meeting in November, which of course would be in the postseason.
SPORTS
“We weren’t prepared and lacked focus in the first half of the game,” said Northport head coach Pat Campbell. “We made a lot of boneheaded plays.”
With three receivers split to the left, Miller was inside and cut underneath Diaz and Valenti and was open at the goal line. Johansen fired and the ball was slightly high for the 6 foot 3 inches tight end who was only able to get the fingertips of his right hand on the ball. It fell incomplete.
“We told our corners to watch the quick slant on that play,” Marcelin said. “We stacked the box and even though they were on an island, the corners stayed disciplined and had great coverage. There wasn’t a lot for him (Johansen) to throw to because we executed that defense very well.”
Tiger running back Michael Raio broke free down the middle and took a 61-yard pass from Northport quarterback Owen Johansen on the last play of the third quarter. A Raio of hope?
Andrew Miller, who was his usual presence on both sides of the ball, engulfed Heyman for a 10-yard sack on the ensuing drive. This sequence of events turned out to be a 25-yard loss for Hills East, as they committed a personal foul penalty on the play.
Marcelin was proud that his team was able to finish.
“We were on point and won the second half of that game,” said senior defensive lineman Justin Macke, who along with Johansen, Miller, Mason Hecht, Matt Diaz, Thomas Kraus and Tim Cleary applied pressure on Heyman throughout the game. The defense had four sacks, three tackles for loss, and numerous quarterback pressures. Macke addressed the team at halftime.
As Johansen had demonstrated all afternoon, he was a threat to smash through the line of scrimmage for the two yards needed to tie the game. This, however, was not the play call.
It was like a “JFK” or “9/11” rememberwhere-you-were moment when the news broke Thursday, just after 1:30 p.m. EST: “Queen Elizabeth II has died.” For this Brit expat, it was a big shock even though she was 96 years old. Only two days before, she had held the “kissing the hands” ceremony with new prime minister, Liz Truss (C).

It became clear the queen’s loss was being felt far beyond the United Kingdom as tributes poured in from every corner of the globe, signaling the enormous impact of a 70-year reign during which she performed her often centuries-old duties with wisdom, dignity, gentle good humor and an essential mystique.
I saw her in person twice, both during my management spells at Midland Bank, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, in the 1970s and ‘80s. The first occasion was when she visited the neighboring headquarters of the Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind. Imagine my surprise when I was walking to my car after work and, with nobody else around, she passed by me in the royal vehicle with no motorcade or security guards in sight. I swear she gave a little regal wave. The next time was when she presented prizes at the South of England Show in Ardingly, where the bank’s meet-and-greet pavilion gave us a ringside view. There was a majestic aura that seeped from her as she beguiled everybody at the agricultural showground — as she did elsewhere in a long lifetime of public service.

Brit expat reflects on the life and death of Queen Elizabeth II
she was born in Mayfair, London, on April 21, 1926; married Philip, Duke of Edinburgh — her pillar of strength — on Nov. 20, 1947; became queen of the U.K. and other Commonwealth realms on Feb. 6, 1952, also head of the Church of England; was a working mother with four children including Charles; and owned a string of corgi dogs and racehorses through the years.
Still, as President Joe Biden (D) and First Lady Jill Biden said in a statement, “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch. She defined an era.” Thank you Queen Elizabeth II — and God save the king.
Britain now has a novice king and a novice prime minister, both unelected by the people at large. There are difficult days ahead for a country badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic, the self-induced Brexit debacle, inflation currently running at 10% with soaring energy costs due to the Russia-Ukraine war, rumblings on the Scottish independence front, possible Irish trade confrontation, threatened departures from the Commonwealth and, indeed, concern for the future direction of the monarchy itself.
As Jagger indicated, the queen was a constant, whether for the annual Christmas televised message that highlighted her strong Christian faith, the State Opening of Parliament, Trooping the Colour, the Royal Ascot and Epsom Derby horserace meetings, or various other occasions.
The new King Charles III, her son aged 73, caught the moment when he said in a statement, “I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”
BY JOHN BROVEN
Such basic facts obscure the sweeping social and economic changes she saw in her reign, without revolution or revolt, from postwar austerity and the Swingin’ ’60s through to postmodern Britain, even as the sun set on the old British Empire. Soon the currency notes, coins and postage stamps bearing her likeness will be phased out and replaced.
The coronation did not take place until June 2, 1953, but what a glorious affair it was with celebrations in every city, town and village. Some 20 million viewers were able to watch the glittering, expensive ceremony from Westminster
PERSPECTIVE
I am a member of the knighted Mick JaggerElton John-Paul McCartney generation (where did I go wrong?). It was Jagger who summarized our thoughts when he tweeted, “For my whole life Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has always been there.” And now she isn’t. The second Elizabethan era is over.
The queen’s death Sept. 8 in Balmoral, Scotland, has been covered extensively by the media. Briefly,

Personal reflections? My first big memory was in relation to the death of Elizabeth’s father, King George VI, in 1952 while she was on a trip to Kenya, East Africa. I was in Mrs. Vidler’s class at Polegate Primary School, East Sussex, and you could hear the proverbial pin drop when we were told “the king is dead.” A dark February Wednesday morning became even darker. In our childhood grief, we had no idea nor cared that the queen’s first prime minister was Winston Churchill. She was only 25 when ascending the throne.

Last year, the number of people dying from drug overdoses in the United States reached a staggering estimated 107,622, according to provisional data from CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. It was a nearly 15% jump from the prior 12 months. That’s almost 300 fatalities every day. If that many lives were being lost daily because jets were falling from the sky, there would be a national uproar, followed by quick action.
garbage needing to be burned or buried (creating methane, a potent greenhouse gas); less water and fertilizer needed for the lawn as the clippings quickly decompose (saving money); and less time devoted to mowing the lawn. Again, no sacrifice.
The process has been an example for residents of all towns to take note of and to follow Brookhaven residents if faced with similar issues.
apartments where the drug gets chopped up and packaged into small glassine envelopes. The drugs are then sold on the streets of the city, and perhaps in a neighborhood much like yours.
Borne out by overwhelming collective evidence regarding lifestyles, environmental sustainability rarely requires sacrifice. What is required? Awareness of the environmental impact of each and every lifestyle decision we make and a desire to reduce or eliminate that impact.
For months, NYS Republicans, have urged Gov. Kathy Hochul [D] to call a special legislative session aimed at fixing this kind of madness. At the end of July, NYC Mayor Eric Adams [D] joined the GOP chorus saying, “We’re talking about someone that has repeatedly used violence in our city.”
opinions of
Seeing that their interests were at stake, the people took action. Civic organizations and business groups mobilized the troops, sending members to public hearings to resist these plans. Many spread the word by writing letters to the editor. And our hometown paper regularly covered the issue and vigorously editorialized on behalf of our districts.
While the new map signals progress for the residents of Council District 1, the work is unfinished. This map still splits Comsewogue School District unnecessarily. As this redistricting process enters the home stretch, let’s remember how we got here.
If all this wasn’t bad enough, the cartels have added a new, unholy, sinister wrinkle by marketing candy-colored fentanyl to preteens.
How about another popular example? Cutting your lawn. Most homeowners shun the idea of letting grass clippings lay on the grass thinking they’re sacrificing a beautiful and healthy lawn. Yet, many studies document the benefits of taking the mower bag off and letting the clippings recycle back into the lawn to provide moisture and nutrients — it’s a stubborn myth that clippings add to the formation of thatch as they don’t. Leaving clippings on your lawn is sustainable: Less
A few months ago, two suspected cartel drug smugglers from California were busted in New York City with 165 pounds of crystal meth worth $1.2 million. They walked because clueless state lawmakers failed “to include methamphetamine crimes among baileligible offenses.”
The people of Port Jefferson Station/Terryville and beyond presented an overwhelming, unified front — a force too large to be ignored. Confronted by such stark opposition, the redistricting committee had little choice but to acquiesce to the community’s demands, restoring the boundaries of Council District 1 to their previous form.
One of the biggest reasons for much of this deadly mayhem is fentanyl. Its lethal potency is unmatched by anything on the illegal drug market and our nation has been flooded with it.
Letters to the editor
Kudos to TBR News Media for its recent editorial, “Sustainability starts in our own backyard” [Sept. 1]. As the condition of the planet continues to deteriorate, sustainability has to become an overarching priority for our and other societies of the world if we are going to successfully stem and ultimately reverse the global decline of our shared global environment. The editorial rightly recognizes that each of us can play a part by embracing sustainable lifestyle choices and activities, and not just relying on government, institutions and businesses to lead the way toward a sustainableUnfortunately,future. by including, “Conservation practices require us to make individual sacrifices,” the editorial perpetuates the widely held and strongly negative misperception that conservation means sacrifice. While a few actions to promote conservation might require some personal sacrifice, the great majority of sustainable actions have the opposite impact: They promote the emotional, physical and financial well-being of the individual and require no sacrifice at all.
The columnists They do not speak for the newspaper.
Town Board has a 6-1 Republican majority, and must adopt a new map by Dec. 15. How residents proceed over the coming weeks could impact Brookhaven elections over the next 10 years.
While some Democratic officials living in border towns and cities being overrun do complain, their party leaders stay mum.
In New York, where gang violence is systemic, we have laws that free suspected smugglers and pushers without bail. José “Cataño” Jorge, charged with supplying a killer dose of fentanyl to a young man was sprung. Facing 96 years in jail if convicted on that and other charges, he failed to return to court.

After months of controversy, the Town of Brookhaven’s redistricting process is nearing completion. Earlier this week, the town released its latest proposal to reapportion its six council districts.
PAGE A18 • TIMES HUNTINGTON & NORTHPORTS • SEPTEMBER 22, 2022
JimSetauketSoviero
This year’s redistricting controversy has brought this community together. It has demonstrated the power of civic and business groups in coordinating their efforts. It has taught us there is strength in unity. It has also illustrated the dynamic interplay between a community and a community newspaper.

While we’ve suffered with supply chain issues, dealers pedaling this poison have not. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, precursor chemicals go from China to Mexico, where two notorious cartels produce the bulk of fentanyl consumed in the U.S. From Mexico, the drugs are smuggled over our wide-open southern border, eventually, reaching every state in the union.
At the outset, powerful and unknown forces sought to crack Council District 1, targeting Port Jefferson Station and Terryville which share a school district, zip code, library, civic association and chamber of commerce. The original draft maps proposed cutting this hamlet in two, dividing our residents across different council districts. If adopted, these plans could have caused a diversion of public resources away from the area and disrupted years of progress — and future plans — made by the residents.
Editorial
Politicians must unite to fight our deadly drug epidemic
upon these successes, we should remember we are not alone in this cause. The Mount Sinai activists were equally triumphant in preventing the splitting of their hamlet. And in CD4, our neighbors in Coram and Gordon Heights continue to fight apparent attempts to gerrymander thatThearea.Brookhaven
When we speak with one voice, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. The Town Board will hold a public hearing on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 5 p.m. On that day, residents must tell their elected representatives to bring our neighbors back into CD1. For the betterment of our community, let’s finish our work to the bitter end. No Comsewogue family can be leftBuildingbehind.
Adams joining Republicans on tightening the state’s bail laws is a welcome sign. Sadly, pols like Hochul, President Joe Biden [D], and Vice President Kamala Harris [D], seeing no personal political advantage, remain mute. That’s even as those metaphorical passenger jets continue to crash in communities all around us — every 24 hours.
For example, is it really a sacrifice to install LED lightbulbs in place of much higher energy-consuming incandescent bulbs? Not from a financial perspective since they last much longer than oldfashioned incandescents and save significant energy resulting in reduced energy bills and they benefit the planet by requiring much less electricity, power generated by the burning of fossil fuels. Or how about regularly using reusable grocery bags instead of one-use plastic bags? Nope. Or how about shutting off the water while you’re brushing your teeth? Sacrifice here? Na. Or keeping the air pressure in your car tires at the proper level, thereby helping your car’s mpg? Another no. Rejecting the bag into which the store clerk wants to put the one item you just bought? No way.
Given this terrifying information, where are our politicians? If the causes of those aforementioned ill-fated jets were as clear as the causes of our deadly drug epidemic, and almost half our pols did virtually nothing, they’d be outcasts.
Personal sacrifice or promoting well-being
Redistricting: a lesson in community solidarity
and letter writers are their own.
The Town Board’s new map looks promising for most Comsewogue residents, but not all. Under this plan, the dividing line between CD1 and CD2 is Pine Street, meaning Comsewogue families in the school district east of Pine will belong to Council District 2.
The New York Post recently reported that fentanyl was being shipped into Hunts Point produce market in the Bronx. “It comes in with the produce,” said Bridget Brennan, who heads the city’s Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor. Next, traffickers move it to nearby

are fewer but still some 32,000 daily, intubations are less common. But people are still dying, some 400-500 a day, to put numbers on it. Through Sept. 19, Suffolk County reported more than one death per day for the month, according to the Suffolk County Department of Health.
“I also don’t see particularly well. I don’t like driving when it’s dark,” he added.
“Not to get too personal,” I said, “but your shoes don’t match.”
Cue the music.
“Yeah, that’s pretty unwelcome,” my friend laughed. “My back is killing me. I wake up every morning and it takes me a while to feel comfortable enough to stand and shuffle to the bathroom.”
caught me. After two and a half years of bobbing and weaving, trying to elude the virus, I finally have been felled. It’s like being shot on the last day of the war. I did all the right things. I avoided crowds, driving back from my South Carolina vacation at the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020 instead of using my return plane ticket. I stopped going to the opera and to Broadway shows in New York City. I didn’t eat in restaurants, even after they reopened, for fear of who might be harboring pathogens at the next table. We closed the office to all but those with appointments. We ordered masks for the staff by the dozens and hand sanitizer by the gallon. We practiced social distancing at the bank, that is, before the bank closed its doors and moved away.
Twilight Zones in which a clock pushes us into doctor’s offices
“We’ve had two million cases reported over the last 28 days, and we know underreporting is substantial,” Dr. Michael T. Osterholm, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Minnesota, was quoted in the Tuesday edition of The New York Times. He continued that COVID-19 was the No. 4 cause of death in theManycountry.ofus were feeling what Biden was expressing. Yes, we have vaccines and medicines now that successfully hold the pathogen at bay, and most people have every expectation of recovering. Nonetheless, it has been a dreaded disease, especially for those of a certain age or with underlying conditions. With me, it started as a little dry cough throughout the afternoon, hardly noticeable. By nightfall, the cough had deepened and a headache began. The next day, the miserable irritation at the back of the throat started. By the end of the day, my temperature
Sure, we still do that, but, as the years pass, the discussions drift. This is where I’d cue the music.
Will I be as cavalier about relaxing precautions? No, I don’t think so. It is possible to get it again, and I REALLY don’t want it again. I will get the next booster when I am eligible, I will continue to wear a mask regardless of what those around me are doing, and I will limit my dining, to the extent possible, to the great outdoors.
I pictured a younger version of me, sitting with the group, staring, open-mouthed at the enthusiasm with which all of us, me included, counted our doctors and the reason we needed them.
And so it went, for about 10 minutes, until we broke the description of all that ails us and transitioned to a discussion of all that inspires, and worries, us about our college-age children.
I nodded and wished him a speedy recovery.
“Well, maybe it hurts just because I’m older,” he offered.
“I’ve had kidney stones, so I have a urologist,” I offered, as if I were recounting trophies on a shelf or comparing the number of friends I have with someone else in fourth grade rather than recalling a specialist who helped me deal with excruciating agony.
The good-natured man smiled and said he thought he had shin splints from running, but discovered he had a hairline fracture that required several weeks of rest in a boot.

Well, as much as we would like to declare the pandemic over, as President Joe Biden (D) recently did, the virus is still with us. I stopped social distancing, then recently became casual about wearing my mask. I started getting together, first with family, then with close friends, then with business colleagues. Recently, I have been eating inside a couple of restaurants. I stopped asking every repairman to please wear a mask in my house. I pushed COVID phobia way down in myThereThenconsciousness.Igotit.are,of
“I have the best GI guy, who gave me a great colonoscopy. I had such a nice rest while I was under anesthesia,” I said.
Conversations
about the aging vessels that carry us through life.
Decades ago, when I spoke with my friends, we discussed our activities, ambitions and plans. We might have complained about our bosses, described a business trip, shared an encounter with a stranger on a plane or train, or described our frustrations with our favorite sports teams.
Yes, it causes a metallic taste after it’s ingested. But it seems to have worked.
My competitive spirit again got the best of me.
“I went to my parents’ house in New Hampshire and ran over five miles on an uneven road. The next day, I could barely move. I have to rest it for six weeks,” he said.
We stopped holding events, such as “People of the Year” and “Cooks, Books and Corks” and “Reader’s Choice” that might turn into superspreaders. My family and I zoomed rather than visited. Our family holiday celebrations and vacations were suspended. And we took to our computers, to the extent we were able, for everything from classroom learning to shopping for toilet Rememberpaper.all that?
with friends, relatives and neighbors have taken a turn into “The Twilight Zone” episodes recently.
In Episode One, we have two college friends who shared a room for several years, who sweated through a spectacularly hot summer in Boston with no air conditioning, and who, over the decades, visited each other’s homes with and without our wives
andSo,children.these two friends recently started catching up.
“At this point, I’d just take not feeling worse,” he said.Okay, so that wasn’t too terrifying, right? Two 50-ish guys chatted and shared personal details
“My hip has been a problem,” I reply.
“I can’t stand the hair that’s coming out of my ears,” I offered. “It makes it harder to hear and to be taken seriously by anyone looking at me.”
“My knee is sore,” I added, “but I think that’s from compensating for my hip.”
In Episode Three, a man in his 30s walked his dog, limping along with a supportive black boot on his leg. Another man (me) appeared, pulled along by his oversized dog.
I chose the paxlovid.
You have no idea, I thought, as I could feel the urge to hold back a clock that pushes each of us forward through time.

course, some differences between catching COVID early on and now. The health care professionals know so much more now about treating the disease. Hospitalizations
“How many doctors do you have?” a third oneAndasked.that is where the conversation became a competition. Each person, slowly and deliberately, shared the number of doctors he or she visits.
“Do you have an ENT doctor? I have one,” someone else said.
began to climb, eventually four degrees, and my bodyOfached.course, my doctor was on vacation that week, but the backup staff responded valiantly. They called me in for THE test, and when it was positive, they gave me three options. I could go to the Emergency Room and get an infusion of monoclonal antibodies, which would take an hour (not including the inevitable wait.) They could phone in a prescription for paxlovid, and I could take three pills in the morning, then three at night, for five days. They spelled out the side effects of both treatments, which didn’t sound too cheerful. Or I could just monitor the situation, drinking plenty of liquids, taking some Tylenol and see how it goes.
That takes us to Episode Two. Imagine, if you will, a group of older adults, representing the 50ish and the 80ish generation, chatting in person together.“Have you been to the doctor recently?” one of the people “Whichasked.one?For what?” a second one replied.
