Huntington rally for better health care in NY Protest garners support of single-payer, Medicare for all bill to bring universal care By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com With changes in health care looming thanks to the election of President Donald Trump (R), the issue took center stage in Huntington this past weekend, as more than 350 Long Island residents participated in a rally Feb. 25 to support the Affordable Care Act and advocate for a single-payer plan bill in Albany. Organized by the group Long Island Activists with help from Our Revolution and the New York Progressive Action Network, the rally joined together residents from all nine New York State Senate districts. Ron Widelec, a member of the LIA steering committee, said the event was intended to help educate more New Yorkers about the strengths of a Medicare for all system, as he said many misconceptions about the plan have been spread. A single-payer or Medicare for all plan “is the only plan that actually brings us to a place where health care is a human right,” Widelec said in a phone interview. “We would see better results and it would [cost] less per person. We can cover everyone for less.” A single-payer system requires a singlepayer fund which all New Yorkers would pay into to cover health care costs of an individual,

doctors and hospitals, and employers would no longer be responsible for health care costs. The ACA established standards for

health care in America when enacted in 2010, though it does not supersede state laws relating to health care. Martha Livingston, professor and chair of the Department of Public Health at SUNY Old Westbury said a Medicare for all system would be an improvement to the current system. “We know from experience looking everywhere else it works better and costs less,” she said in a phone interview. The World Health Organization conducted a study on American health care in 2014, and cited one of the reasons the U.S. health system has high costs and poor outcomes includes a lack of universal health care. “No one would have to make the tough choice between the cost of an EpiPen and feeding their family,” Widelec said, referring to the increase in cost of pharmaceutical products patients can’t opt to go without. Mylan Pharmaceuticals, the drug’s maker, drove the price of EpiPen up about $500 in recent years — some six times. Turing Pharmaceuticals did the same with Daraprim, a drug used by cancer and AIDS patients — although that price tag increased to $750 a pill from $13.50. The Journal of the American Medical

N’pt native bringing ‘local to table’ cuisine to Fort Salonga By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Farm to table dining has become a popular trend, and one Fort Salonga spot intends to bring an even more localized experience to residents with Our Table. Owner Stacey Wohl is recreating the space that has been known for the last year as Cause Café, a restaurant that offered jobs to young adults with cognitive and developmental disorders, such as autism. Our Table is not doing the same. Wohl said it was time for a change, and that change came in the form of Northport-native chef Michael Heinlein. Heinlein came in as a guest chef while Wohl was still running the business as Cause Café, and brought up the idea of working together and creating an organic, healthy menu. Wohl loved the idea. “I eat organic, I eat healthy food and it’s very difficult if you’re trying to eat gluten free or organic to take your kids anywhere to go out to eat — there’s very few places to go,” she said. “What we’re trying to do here is offer a nightlife place where you can meet a friend or go on a date while also having a healthy meal — instead of going to health food stores to eat clean.” Heinlein, a Northport High School graduate, said the menu is more than just farm to table because of where the company will get its ingredients. “Everybody uses the term farm to table and I think it’s kind of overused — I think it’s more local to table than anything,” Heinlein said in an interview.

above, a woman enjoys a bite at our table; right, owner stacey Wohl is trying a new venture, leaving cause café behind. And Our Table intends to bring local products, currently getting produce from farms on Eastern Long Island, but planning to buy from the Northport Farmers Market once the season begins. All the seafood is wild caught instead of farm raised, and the beef is grass fed. Wohl said the pair also intends to offer biodynamic local wine, meaning wine with grapes that are grown organically without the use of pesticides. Wohl said Our Table’s menu is diverse and

offers something for everyone. “Michael is very eclectic and creative, he draws from a lot of different global influences,” she said. “There’s so many flavors going off in your mouth at once — he’s just using a lot of creative foods and ingredients. It’s food that’s going to make you feel good.” Items include jumbo lump crab cakes and deconstructed chicken tamales. Heinlein agreed he thinks people will enjoy his menu.

“It’s a good mix of the healthy grains and other ingredients, while still getting that fun fine-dining experience,” he said. Wohl said Our Table also has an in-house pastry chef to make fresh desserts. “You’re not coming in here and getting a frozen piece of cheesecake,” she said. Our Table is set to launch this weekend, with hours from 5 to 10 p.m. daily and Sunday brunch. The restaurant is located at 1014 Fort Salonga Road.

North Shore congressmen engage constituents in town halls Suozzi holds in-person meeting, Zeldin speaks to 10,000 from 1st District on phone call By Kevin Redding & Alex PetRosKi President Donald Trump’s (R) first month in office and items on his agenda thus far have sparked an activist uprising in blue and red districts alike across the United States. Thursday, two North Shore congressmen made themselves available to concerned constituents, though the formats were different. First congressional district U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and 3rd congressional district U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) each hosted town hall events Feb. 23 to discuss issues with the people they represent, a trend that has caught on for leaders in nearly all 50 states in the weeks since Inauguration Day. Suozzi hosted nearly 400 residents at Mid-Island Y Jewish Community Center in Plainview for about two and a half hours. Zeldin spoke directly to voters in their homes in a telephone town hall. According to Zeldin, more than 9,000 people sat in on the hour-long call, which featured questions and interactive polls. More than 1,000 others streamed it online. The congressman began the call with an opening statement lasting nearly five minutes, which touched on improving American safety at home and abroad; growing the local economy; supporting veterans and first responders; improving education; repairing infrastructure; repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act; and safeguarding the environment. He then answered 10 questions from a combination of callers and those streaming the conversation on the internet, who submitted written questions. Groups of constituents have lobbied the congressman to host an in-person town hall in recent weeks, but have been unsuccessful. Changes have also been made to his office hours availability, which he attributed earlier in February to the actions of “liberal obstructionists.” Zeldin justified the decision to hold a telephone town hall rather than a conventional one during the call. “For years telephone town halls have allowed me to reach the maximum amount of constituents interested in constructive dialogue,” he said. “This is a modern way

to bring a town hall directly to your home.” He evaluated the effectiveness of the format in an email through spokeswoman Jennifer DiSiena the following day. “These outreach efforts with the public have proven to be extremely effective and allow him to productively reach the maximum amount of constituents who are interested in constructive dialogue,” she said. “It is true that liberal obstructionists cannot disrupt the call.” A Facebook group called “Let’s Visit Lee Zeldin,” set up by constituents attempting to speak to the congressman face-to-face, which has more than 2,000 members, followed along with the call and held a discussion on the page, regarding Zeldin’s responses. Several posters said they registered on Zeldin’s website to be called, but never received one, or received it after the town hall commenced at 7 p.m. A post asking if any questions were not addressed during the call received more than 100 responses. One constituent asked if the congressman would put pressure on the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. Another asked about the shrinking middle class and growing income inequality. Someone else asked, “What will Zeldin do to assure females have safe affordable birth control/ reproductive rights?” Zeldin was asked on the call, among several other questions, about his stance on the Trump administration’s reversal of transgender bathroom guidelines set by the Obama administration — he said he supported the reversal. Another question involved Trump’s slow response to anti-Semitic violence across the U.S. since election day — which Zeldin condemned, though added he appreciated Trump speaking up this week. Several questions came in concerning the ACA and what will take its place once repealed — the congressman said he supported the proposed Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, coverage for those with preexisting conditions, allowing kids to stay on parents’ plans until age 26, and would support a voucher program for veterans. DiSiena addressed Zeldin’s plans going forward regarding a traditional town hall. “Way too many of the people at the moment requesting town halls across the country are doing so with the purpose of disrupting the town hall without any interest at all in decorum,” she said. Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Arizona), who was shot during an outdoor, public meeting with constituents in 2011, called on members of Congress to “face their constituents” and hold town halls in a tweet Feb. 23. DiSiena said Zeldin is open to small meetings, though no in-person town hall is currently planned. DiSiena disclosed results of one of the five poll questions Zeldin posed to listeners during the call, showing most constituents, 23 percent, are concerned about health care above all other of the several choices given in the poll. Conversely, Suozzi stood and engaged a large crowd of residents and activists, answering more than 30 questions on a variety of hot topics, including the repeal of the ACA, the relationship between Trump

He also voiced his disapproval of what’s happening in the White House, and called on those in attendance to “not hate Trump supporters” and instead turn their anger into something productive. “I think this is as American as you can get ... this is so inspiring and this country needs this type of engagement,” Suozzi told the crowd, saying in all his years of holding town hall meetings — both as a congressional candidate and mayor of Glen Cove — he’s never seen an attendance like what he had. “We need to take all this energy and excitement that we’ve got and use it in a constructive fashion ... to work together to win the battles,” he said. “Write letters to the editor, attend issues meetings, run for office, support people for local office. What we really need are reasonable Americans that will put their country before their party to help us to get Congressional support on [issues]. Don’t underestimate what’s working.” A civil discourse on ideas and plenty of smiles and laughs, Suozzi’s session had a different tone than the heated ones across the country, in which angry constituents waged vocal war against Republican representatives. Suozzi began the gathering by telling attendees — some of whom represented local activist groups like North Shore Indivisible, MoveOn.org, and Science Advocacy of Long Island — to be respectful and direct all comments to him. Attendees raised questions about Trump’s ties to Russia, the release of the commander-in-chief’s taxes, gun violence, immigration, climate change and the state of health care. One attendee, Jessica Meyer, who has cerebral palsy, asked the congressman if he would help those like her who fear people with disabilities might lose benefits with

the potential repeal of the ACA. “People with disabilities are getting lost in this conversation,” she said. Suozzi responded to her concerns. “I want you to know that I will fight tooth and nail to protect you, personally, and everybody in your situation, and I want to hear from everybody in this room who’s going to fight to protect Jessica,” Suozzi said. Harry Arlin, a World War II and Korean War veteran from Huntington, said he lived briefly under Adolf Hitler in Germany and Joseph Stalin in Russia, though fled both countries. “I’m too old to run again,” he said. Seven-year-old Zachary Aquino echoed Arlin’s sentiments. “I don’t think this is right having Trump as president, I think it’s really bad,” he said. “I don’t know how this happened — how we got stuck in this mess — but it’s good that we’re here today ... this is a really valuable time. Fighting against Trump is very good. We’ve got to do this.” When asked what he was going to do to restore one attendee’s faith in “American exceptionalism,” Suozzi pointed around the room. “This is it — this is people who believe and should not walk out of here with anything but a stronger belief that by being involved, you can actually have an impact on things,” he said. The White House has made claims recently to suggest some activists attending town halls are being paid to be there and rile up crowds, a sentiment which Zeldin echoed in a Feb. 18 Facebook post. “Liberal obstructionists are disrupting, resisting and destructing public events all around America,” he wrote. “Our neighbors want to actually engage in substantive, productive, constructive dialogue, and the liberal obstructionists are spitting on them with their shameful shows for their own political theater.”

Man arrested in Huntington Station for Leandra’s Law By victoria espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County police arrested a man Feb. 25 for driving while impaired by drugs with a child in his vehicle after he was involved in a crash in Huntington Station. Suffolk County police patrol units responded to 911 calls of a person driving erratically in a white Honda in the Huntington Station area. A short time later, police arrived at a two-vehicle crash between the Honda and a 1999 Dodge pickup truck at the intersection of Jericho Turnpike and Longfellow Road at about 2:50 p.m. After an investigation, police determined the driver of a 2015 Honda Accord, Mathew Moscowitch, was operating a vehicle while his ability was impaired by drugs. There was a 5-year-old boy in the back seat at the time of the crash. Victoria Nathan, 49, of Kings Park, a passenger in the pickup truck, and the boy were transported to Huntington Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Moscowitch, 33, of Staten Island, was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child passenger 15-yearsold or younger, otherwise known as Leandra’s Law, felony aggravated unlicensed operation, endangering the welfare of a child, and possession of a hypodermic needle. He was arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip Feb. 26. The investigation is continuing.

Nonprofit, county legislator react to county executive’s borrowing By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County’s current and future financial outlook has been a topic of conversation for months, and a nonprofit founded to ensure government transparency is taking notice, following County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D-West Babylon) presentation to the state Senate and Assembly representatives in Albany Feb. 14. Bellone visited the capital last week to discuss Suffolk’s “daunting” fiscal challenges going forward. Among his eight points addressed during the presentation was a request for authority from New York State to obtain bonds for separation pay of law enforcement officers for 2017 and 2018, a point of contention raised repeatedly by Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga). Reclaim New York, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization established to “educate New Yorkers on issues like affordability, transparency and education,” echoed a similar sentiment to Trotta’s following the presentation. “Suffolk County has a problem: it spends too much on its police department,” a Feb. 15 post on the organization’s blog said in part. “Its 2,397 officers were paid an average of $161,463 last year, far more than any other county, or town police officers, or Nassau County’s police, for that matter. Spending reached this level after years of political action by the police, who spent in 2015 more than $600,000 influencing local elections–from one PAC alone. Now, having fallen behind on those expenses … Bellone is proposing borrowing $60 million because the county doesn’t have enough cash for payouts on unused sick and vacation time, that Suffolk cops were promised years ago.” Doug Kellogg, the organization’s communications director, said in a phone interview Reclaim New York doesn’t currently have plans to begin a project or campaign pertaining specifically to the police contract, which the county and the Police Benevolent Association agreed on and which runs from 2011 to 2018, but they do plan on monitoring Suffolk’s budget and financial outlook going forward. “It’s really starting to get out of control,” Kellogg said. “The path can get worse.” Trotta has said in past interviews he feels like he’s alone in calling out the county’s financial situation relating to the police department contract. “The county finances are in total shambles,” Trotta said during an interview in his Smithtown office Nov. 15. “[The other legislators are] sticking their head in the sand. They’re not addressing the real problems. No one wants to address the problems. You need colossal change.” Following the meeting, Trotta said it was “typical” of Bellone to ask to borrow to pay for the retirement pay for police officers. He added he’s been in contact with Reclaim New York and plans to work with them to inform the public about the county’s finances.

“I’m going to work with them because together we could get the word out to the public on how bad it really is,” Trotta said in a phone interview. “The title says it all — we need to take back New York.” Vanessa Baird-Streeter, a spokeswoman for Bellone, said in a phone interview the request regarding bonds for separation pay was just a small part of his presentation, but if obtained the funds would improve public safety. “In the future we’ll be able to hire more police officers to ensure our county is safe,” she said. Bellone’s presentation also included a justification for borrowing to close the budget gap. “Allowing for this five-year bonding will allow Suffolk County to protect taxpayers and public safety by smoothing out the expense associated with an anticipated increase in retirements,” he said. “Bonding will allow Suffolk County to retain the resources and fiscal flexibility to

‘The county finances are in total shambles. The [other legislators] are sticking their heads in the sand’ — Rob Trotta

continue to hire new officers, which is critical to maintain public safety and save taxpayer dollars over several years.” A look at the county budget by the legislature’s budget review office in October resulted in a warning. “The county’s structural deficit is increasingly driving our decisions,” the office’s director Robert Lipp said in the review. “The county sets a bad precedent when paying for operating expenses with borrowing.”

Meet the first-ever three St. Patrick’s Day Parade grand marshals Affectionately known as the McWilliams sisters, Cathy Donnelly, Barbara Griffin and Marge Stajk represent the first time a group or family has been recognized by the Kings Park St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee as grand marshals for the 2017 parade on March 4. Together, they symbolize Kings Park’s Irish roots: Each was educated and married in Kings Park and each chose to raise her family in Kings Park. Additionally, the sisters worked in Kings Park, while donating time to charitable organizations. The parade committee said they are proud to honor these wonderful, effervescent ladies, who expressed the same sentiment that growing up in Kings Park was fun. WIth the arrival of McWilliams sisters’ grandparents,Thomas and Elizabeth Ellen McWilliams, to America — from Belfast, Ireland — lifetimes of memories started for the sisters. Their grandparents found their way to Kings Park, settling into a cottage on Sunken Meadow Road, when Tom McWilliams started working at the Kings Park Psychiatric Center. Blessed with 10 children, son Edward, would meet Marga-

ret, née Nolan, who would raise six children — Edward, Margaret, Barbara, Joseph, Catherine and Ronald. Although the family moved to Northport for a few years, they would return to Kings Park, to a property located on the corner of Main Street and Renwick Avenue. Their dad opened the Park Diner, with their home in the back. Mom and dad worked at the diner, while the sisters and brothers attended St. Joseph’s School and graduated from the Kings Park High School. Growing up in Kings Park has created indelible memories for the trio. One recollection centers on VJ Day, in August 1945, as the store in Kings Park was closed for the celebration. While Griffin said she remembers dancing in the streets, Stajk said she recalls plenty of kisses that day. The sisters also remember fondly the Kings Park Fire Department and its annual Christmas party. Although the line to visit Santa wrapped around the firehouse, every child received fruit, candy and a present. All three sisters loved to sing, whether in the church choir or in local shows. For

shows they dubbed themselves The Lemmon Sisters. Foremost, however, the McWilliams family loved the Brooklyn Dodgers. Not only did they attend games at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, they decorated the Park Diner for World Series games. Griffin and her friend Peggy named themselves co-presidents of the Pee Wee Reese/Duke Snider Fan Club. According to family lore, in 1952, Stajk’s excitement at having become engaged to her husband George was tempered until after the completion of a Dodgers game. The family continued to grow, after marriages at St. Joseph’s Church. Griffin met her husband while both were in one of the wedding parties. Stajk married her husband in 1952, raising four children (Greg, Edward, Ellen and Jean). She worked at the Kings Park Psychiatric Center until 1987, while living on Thistle Lane. The couple would resettle in Florida. Griffin married her husband Michael in 1961, raising three children (Michael, Rosemary and Jean) and retired from the Kings Park Central School Dis-

trict, in 1990, after 28 years. She and her husband owned a home on Indian Head Road, for more than 50 years, until a recent move. Donnelly married her husband Joseph in 1964, raising three children (Judy, Mary Kate and Gerard). She also worked for the Kings Park Central School District. The couple purchased a home on Lou Avenue. The legacy of the McWilliams family continues, as the six McWilliams siblings would give rise to 22 children, 26 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. The McWilliams sisters continued to display their love for Kings Park through their work with charitable organizations, especially the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians. Despite various tribulations, the sisters have maintained their endearing smiles, wonderful humor and love of everything Kings Park. The 2017 grand marshals for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade exemplify all that is great about residing in Kings Park and all that is great about being Irish. — victoria espinoza

health care Continued from page A3 Association has confirmed the U.S. faces this trend of large increases in drug prices, more so than any other countries. “Per capita prescription drug spending in the United States exceeds that in all other countries, largely driven by brand-name drug prices that have been increasing in recent years at rates far beyond the consumer price index,” the study said. Livingston agreed the current system is flawed. “Really what we want is fairness,” she said. “We’re the only country that doesn’t negotiate with insurance companies. We need to get rid of the profiteers standing between us and [health care].” Aside from informing Long Islanders about the benefits of a Medicare for all system, the rally also focused on creating a game plan to help grow support for the New York Health Act, a bill passed in the 2015-16 New York State Assembly session but not in the New York State Senate. The Assembly bill for the 2017-18 session, which is currently in committee, establishes the New York Health program, a single-payer health care system. “The Legislature finds … all residents of the state have the right to health care,” the bill states. It acknowledges ACA helped bring improvements in health care and coverage to New Yorkers, however there are still many left without coverage. The legislation

explicitly labels itself as a universal health plan with the intention to improve and create coverage for residents who are currently unable to afford the care they need. If New York passed the law, residents would no longer have to pay premiums or co-pays, employers would not have to be responsible to provide health care — which currently costs business more than $1 billion annually, and all patients would be covered and could chose whatever doctor or hospital they wanted. According to a new study by Gerald Friedman, chair of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst Economics Department, the cost of New York Health Act would be $45 billion less than what New York cur— ron Widelec rently spends. “Individuals often find that they are deprived of affordable care and choice because of decisions by health plans guided by the plan’s economic needs rather than their health care needs,” the bill states. The New York Health Act is also in committee in the state Senate, where it has significantly less support. “We want to flip some state Senate seats,” Widelec said. Participants also broke up into their state Senate districts to discuss plans of action to garner support for the bill in each area and put pressure on their elected leader at the end of the rally. Steve Cecchini, a rally participant, said

‘No one would have to make the tough choice between the cost of an epiPen and feeding their family.’

Congressman Tom Suozzi speaks at the event. many people are clearly in support of the bill. “The only thing I learned was a lot of people were excited to hear about the New York Health Act,” he said in a phone interview. “One of the goals was to get people the tools they need to understand the act and talk about it. It’s really about getting enough support from the constituents. It’s ridiculous what we’re not getting and what we’re overpaying for right now.” Widelec said there is a lot of misinformation about what a single-payer plan is, as many approach it as a socialist concept. But he affirmed the current system in not working and needs to be improved. According to the World Health Organization, the U.S.

Photo from Ron Widelec

trailed more than 30 countries in life expectancy in 2015, and in a 2000 report by WHO, America was ranked 37 out of 191 countries for health care performance. “It’s really exciting to see people inspired and activated,” Livingston said. “It’s looking to me like Long Islanders are eager to make a difference.” The 3rd Congressional District U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) spoke at the rally, after meeting with the Long Island Activists group in January and signing a pledge to sponsor a single-payer bill if the Democratic Party retakes control of the Congress. He has said until that time he will continue to defend the ACA.

Tips to stay alert, smart and healthy during flu season

File photo

A sign held up during the Jan. 21 Women’s March in Port Jeff Station.

Members of Congress must face constituents U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) is engaged in a standoff with residents of the 1st Congressional District, the constituents he was elected to serve and represent in Washington. Zeldin’s support for President Donald Trump (R) and his policies during the campaign and his first few weeks in office has enraged a segment of his district. A Facebook page with more than 2,000 followers was created by people interested in getting face time with the congressman after he changed his office hours and canceled scheduled meetings due to the behavior of what he referred to as “liberal obstructionists” who are acting out and being disruptive as a form of “political theater.” The Jan. 21 Women’s March in Port Jefferson Station featured several signs and chants calling for Zeldin to disassociate from some of Trump’s policies. Although they don’t speak for the entire district — Zeldin’s Election Day margin of victory speaks louder — there is more than enough chatter to suggest they speak for a large chunk of the district that deserves to be heard. To appease those looking to discuss his position on important issues like the Affordable Care Act, Trump’s potential conflicts of interest, ties to Russia and gun regulations, Zeldin held an over-thephone town hall in which almost 10,000 of his constituents were able to listen to their congressman answer a handful of questions from about 0.1 percent of the audience. Dozens of questions went unanswered at the conclusion of the call. Many members of Congress across the U.S. have been faced with a similar dilemma lately — potentially hostile crowds and an uncomfortable or politically dangerous confrontation, or risk being called out for what some interpret as skirting the responsibilities of a representative. The editorial staff believes it is incumbent upon members of Congress to stand up and face the people they represent if an issue or set of issues are important enough to fight for. Disagreements on issues are not a hindrance for a healthy democracy. A lack of transparency and accountability are. No one is asking Zeldin to take the side of protestors marching with signs outside of his Patchogue office, some of which he accused of threatening his safety. It is his responsibility to listen to them and engage in a productive conversation — more productive than the phone conference we listened in on. Kudos to Zeldin for scheduling more mobile office hours in which he promises to meet face to face with small groups, but a large public forum is not too much to ask during these polarizing political times. The virtual world notwithstanding, we want to be in the same room as our duly elected representative during a meeting. While he should be protected by law enforcement from any extremists, he owes us no less than his presence when we offer him ours.

We are currently at the peak of a severe flu season in Suffolk County. In the last few weeks, there has been a sharp uptick in the number of flu diagnoses, hospitalizations and unfortunately even deaths as a result of exposure. It’s during this critical time that we should all make sure we are continuing to be vigilant about taking precautions to keep ourselves and family members protected. The flu isn’t just a really bad cold; it is a serious contagious virus. It spreads from person to person through droplets released when someone infected coughs, sneezes or simply talks. Flulike symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue, and some people also experience vomiting and diarrhea. The virus can be passed on to others one day before developing symptoms and up to one full week afterward. That is why it is important that we all listen to our bodies and seek medical treatment and proper care when symptoms come on. The severity of your symptoms is a key indicator of whether you have a cold or the flu. If you are experiencing high fever, extreme fatigue, body aches or severe headaches, chances are you are fighting something more than a cold and you should call your health care provider. Most offices may advise patients what steps to take over the phone so that they

do not place others at risk by going out in public. Despite its infectiousness, the flu can be prevented with age-old techniques that start with you: •If you have not received a flu shot at this point, but are able to, please consider getting vaccinated; it is the number one proven way to prevent the flu and it’s never too late to protect yourself. Vaccination is also the best way to protect children younger than 6 months or others who cannot receive the flu vaccine due to medical conditions. •The easiest method to prevent passing on the flu is to wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. A helpful tip to measure amount of time needed for hand washing is to sing the song “Happy Birthday” two times through. It is also important to avoid touching your eyes,

nose and mouth with unwashed hands. If soap and water aren’t available, alcohol-based sanitizers are effective in guarding against the flu but should be followed up with proper hand washing when available. •Be sure to disinfect frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, computer keyboards, telephones, elevator buttons, faucet handles, countertops, railings and cellphones. Prevention also includes avoiding kissing, hugging and sharing cups or utensils with those who are sick. If possible, limit your exposure to those who are ill. Always practice good respiratory etiquette by covering your coughs and sneezes. • Staying home from school or work when sick will go a long way in keeping us all healthy. In a recent survey conducted by South Nassau Communities Hospital, more than one-third of people admitted to going to work when they knew they had the flu. “Toughing it out” only makes your recovery more lengthy and leaves others susceptible to infection. If you are sick with flulike illness, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone (without the use of a fever-reducing medicine).

Congressman Zeldin’s tele-town-hall is not a town hall Our congressman, Lee Zeldin, has canceled all town hall meetings indefinitely. Instead he’s holding what he calls “tele-townhalls.” These are actually one-hour telephone conference calls, where he responds to a few questions by screened constituents. There is no opportunity for follow-up since after asking the question the caller is muted. Last Thursday, in the first of these, he spent much of the hour on an opening statement, a softball “poll” and a lengthy response to a single question. It seems Congressman Zeldin has forgotten that it is part of his job to answer to his constituents. What is he so afraid of? Is he unwilling to face publicly any opposition for fear of bad publicity? If he fears his constituents so much, maybe he’s not up to the job. It’s hard to respect a congressman afraid of his constituents.

Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, with whom I don’t agree on many issues, at least earned my respect by hosting a town hall meeting in which he faced a largely hostile audience. Afterward he stated, “I think it’s a case of making the process of representative government work. Those of us who are elected are half of the process, our constituents are the other half and we have a responsibility to have dialogue with our constituents.” In spite of its name a “teletown-hall” is not in any way, shape or form a town hall. There is no dialogue. It’s no more a “town hall” than a mannequin in a shop window is a human being. It’s an ersatz substitute for the American tradition of real town hall meetings, a tradition going back to before the founding of our republic. It’s phony democracy, which would be more in place in Russia, where

phony democracy masquerades as the real thing. If Congressman Zeldin’s positions and votes as our representative have excited strong opposition from a large group of his constituents, he needs to face the music and answer for it. Those of us who are very dissatisfied with the job he’s doing are not just “protesters” who “want to get their 19 seconds of fame” as he has insultingly stated. We have not been paid or coached. We are his constituents and we are concerned about the direction of our country. He’s supposed to be representing us, not insulting us. We have every right to demand he answer in person for his positions on the issues and his votes in Congress.

OpiniOn Ode to the odometer and a magic landmark

y son and I love the odometer. He probably appreciates it because I talk about it so often and focus on repeating numbers, patterns in the numbers or milestones. We are approaching another landmark as our odometer edges upward from a volleyball practice, to a concert, to a visit with friends in upstate New York, to a trip to Bronx Zoo or a ride to the airport — 100,000 miles. Where will we be when we hit that magic mark? Chances are we’ll be By Daniel Dunaief close to home, perhaps on our way to or from school, to the train station or to a restaurant to celebrate another birthday. Those repeating numbers, the

D. None of the above

99,488 or the 99,699, may bring back horrible memories of childhood, when we had to come up with a formula to describe the nth term in a sequence. The numbers also may be reminders of when we need to change the oil, rotate the tires, check the brakes or give the car the equivalent of a well visit to the doctor. Our country has spent decades shortening the distance between two points by car. Along the way, we eat in them, change the radio station, pull off the road for a nap or park near a favorite place to commune with nature from our moving couch. All that time in the car is what made McDonald’s possible, giving people who travel over great distances the reliability and predictability of the same meal regardless of the state. We throw ourselves and all manner of accoutrements into our cars, including baseball bags, suitcases, or — with my father — holiday presents. Then we pile ourselves into the seats, buckle

ourselves in and hope for an open road along the 3,000 miles from New York to California. We don’t often think about each of the miles, because we’d clog our minds with useless and forgettable information, particularly during those times when a mile becomes a measure of an interminable length of time on a stopped Long Island Expressway. Then there are those miles when we feel as if the road disappeared below us and we are floating home, singing a song that makes the whole family laugh, especially when we share voices that are offkey, or celebrating a triumphant play or an enthralling concert. It’s why road trip movies, even poor ones, are so common. These travel experiences offer a physical journey to match an emotional, spiritual or personal quest, giving us a chance to wake up to an ocean and go to sleep under the shadow of a mountain. Even when we no longer want to contemplate literary devices, we may see symbols in our travels that are hard

to ignore, such as the dawn of a new day, soaring birds taking flight together, a fork in the road or a lightning bolt crashing down in the distance. While the odometer doesn’t take pictures, have Instagram or Facebook accounts, and doesn’t store information in the cloud, it does give us a moment to reflect on where we’ve been and who has shared the ride. When the odometer was still in the double digits, we looked at the backs of our small children’s heads at rear-facing car seats. As the numbers on the car, and our children’s ages and heights increased, we heard their voices drop as they described a movie they watched with friends, a visit with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a project they planned to complete as soon as they returned home. I’m hoping my family is in the car together when the odometer breaks into six figures, because it seems fitting to share that milestone since the four of us journeyed through those miles of life together to get there.

Passwords: Seeing my whole life flash before my eyes

hen there is the matter of passwords. In a life that I am forever trying to simplify, passwords are the detritus on the highway. The need for them trips me up, interrupts my momentum, as I am tooling along. Am I the only one with this frustration? Let me illustrate by repeating some of the inane conversations on the subject. I call my credit card company to get some information. When I am lucky enough to get through to By Leah S. Dunaief a live, warmbodied person, he or she will ask the dreaded question: “What is your password?” “Could you give me a hint?” I ask, since upon the advice of experts, I try not to use the same password more than once.

Between you and me

“It might be the name of your dog,” comes the sympathetic response — if I am lucky. “My first, second, third or fourth dog?” I ask nervously. We then go through the list if the customer service person on the other end has the patience and feels like prompting me. The response might be, “It starts with a ‘T.’” That only helps 50 percent of the way since two of those four dogs had names that began with T. Sometimes, after I’ve run down the possibilities to no avail, the nameless, faceless voice at the other end, in a desperate attempt to move along the conversation, might volunteer, “Maybe it’s your mother’s maiden name?” “The last four digits of your Social Security number?” “Your first child’s birthday?” “The last four digits of your first phone number?” And so it goes, with ultimate success possible but not assured. By this time, several minutes have elapsed, during which I could have transacted the business at hand several times over. I have tried writing down all

my passwords. But then where do I keep the list? And protected by what password? The logical place, to me since it is usually with me, is in my cellphone. “Nooo,” caution the experts. “That is the first place a thief would look.” OK, then, how about in my glove compartment? Being a good suburbanite, I am usually only steps from my car. Again, that is such an obvious place that, like my vehicle registration, such a list should be kept anywhere but there — despite the logical need for one’s registration when in one’s car. But I digress, probably due to the stress of the challenge at hand. Forget about car registrations. Back to the urgent subject of passwords. We are advised never to use the same password twice or, heaven forbid, multiple times, because once our code has been broken, our whole lives and assets lie open to villains. We are also advised to change our passwords often. Oh, please, have mercy! If I can’t remember the original passwords, how can I reasonably be expected to remember

subsequent generations of passwords? They are not like children and grandchildren after all. I am anxious about the future use of passwords. Will I be expected to know a password to shop in the supermarket? To shop online, it’s already come to that. I can’t get on my computer without my password, so no online shopping. How about filling up the tank with gas? We already must provide our ZIP codes, but that may turn out to be too broad a code. How about to visit an emergency room? Oh, but wait. We already have to produce the qualifying information on our identification cards. But if they need to follow up with the insurance company, we had better know our password before the ER can go any further. But not to worry. We can’t get to the ER anyway because we are unable to gas up the car. This leaves me wondering: Do our passwords keep the rest of the world out or, once forgotten, do they lock us in?

Harborfields falls to Mount Sinai county final By Bill landon Four of the five starters on Mount Sinai’s girls’ basketball team helped the soccer squad score its first Suffolk County title last fall. This winter, the Mustangs brought those winning ways from the field to the court. Winning has become a tradition at Mount Sinai. The Mustangs went nearly undefeated in League VI play, going on a 17-game streak before a 4433 loss to Shoreham-Wading River. Despite that, Mount Sinai was able to grab a piece of the league title for the first time in school history. Then, the road to the Class A finals began. The Mustangs crushed Bayport-Blue Point 91-48 before outscoring Sayville 68-54. The No. 1 seed ultimately found itself up against a familiar foe in No. 2 Harborfields. The two schools had also faced off as the top-seeded teams during the Suffolk soccer finals, and, in front of a near-capacity crowd of 500 at Riverhead High School Feb. 24, Mount Sinai pulled away with another crucial win 54-42, for its second county crown of the school year. For seniors Victoria Johnson and Veronica Venezia, the win was a long time coming personally and for the program. “It feels amazing to be Suffolk County champions — Veronica and I have been on the team since eighth grade, so we started a long time ago,” said Johnson, who scored 11 of her 16 points in the second half. “Back then we didn’t win many games, and here we are — it’s a dream come true.” Sophomore Gabriella Sartori had the hot hand in the first quarter, scoring 10 of her

team-high 18 points. First, she swished a free throw to successfully complete a three-point play, and hit a shot from beyond the arc soon after to help her team double its opponent’s score with an 18-9 lead at the end of eight minutes. She also added six rebounds and two assists in the win. “From the beginning of the season I just wanted to play at this level,” she said. “I’ve been with this group since the seventh grade and to reach this point and watch this team grow is just amazing.” Behind 31-19 heading into the locker room, Harborfields head coach Glenn Lavey said the 12-point deficit put his team in unfamiliar territory. “Spotting them a lead like that is not our style — we’re kind of a running football team if you will — we’re not a spread offense,” he said. “We had some breakdowns in the first eight minutes of the game and we didn’t execute some things we needed to early.” Despite the lead, Mount Sinai head coach Michael Pappalardo said he warned his team that the Tornadoes weren’t going to run out of steam that easily. “Harborfields, they’re aggressive,” he said. “We told the girls this is going to be close. You don’t think that team is going to let you walk out of here giving you the championship.” Harborfields senior Grace Zagaja scored on a putback, and teammate Kate Tardo hit a long-distance shot in the third, but Mount Sinai’s defense swarmed. With 10 seconds left in the quarter, Johnson went to the line and sank both to make it a 10-point game, but Harborfields senior Falyn Dwyer came through with a buzzerbeating triple that helped her team cut the deficit to 40-33.

With just over four minutes left in regulation, Venezia came up with another putback (she finished with a double-double on 12 points and 15 rebounds) to re-extend the Mustangs’ lead, 45-36. “They’re definitely a challenge — they always have been the past years we’ve played them,” Venezia said of Harborfields. “But our defense was the key in getting stops and rebounding, and turning those into points.” Tardo, who tied with Dwyer for eight points, drained her second triple of the contest to make it a six-point game. Two minutes later, eighth-grader Madison Brady (seven points) picked off an in-bounds pass, went straight to the rim for the score and made it a four-point game, 45-41, with 3:10 left to play. After Harborfields missed its final five shots from the field, Johnson went 7-for-8 from the free-throw line in the final 31 seconds to put the win in the record book. “We always talk about it in practice in every game — everyone’s going to have their ups and downs,” Johnson said. “You’ve got to be prepared for both. We had to fight our way through adversity to get here.” Also on the championship-winning soccer team besides Johnson, Sartori and junior Olivia Williams, was sophomore Brooke Cergol, who rounded out the scoring with eight points. “It feels amazing — especially after soccer,” she said. “It is ironic to win back-to-back titles against Harborfields — they’re a great team, but we worked really hard to be here. It was crazy, it was a really tense situation, but we pulled together.” Mount Sinai moved on to face Mattituck for the Small School champion title at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood Feb. 28. The Mustangs outscored the Class B

champion, 59-42, and will face off against the Class AA qualifier for the Section XI title. That game will be played at Suffolk’s Selden campus March 5 at 5 p.m. Regardless of the outcome of those games, Mount Sinai has the opportunity for another first, when the Mustangs take on the Section VIII Class A champion March 11 at SUNY Old Westbury at noon for the Long Island title.
