Huntington releases hurricane preparedness book Huntington Town is determined to make their residents prepared for hurricane season. With the season starting officially in June, the town released the 2017 edition of Huntington’s Hurricane Preparedness Handbook, which is now available in printed or electronic form. “We have changed the cover of the handbook this year,” Town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) said in a statement. “We want to ask the question, ‘Are you and your family ready?’ We want to remind you, your families, business associates, friends and colleagues to be ever-vigilant. We still need to be prepared for the possibility that a storm could hit this year. The worst thing we can do is become complacent.” The handbook includes details on what should be included in a family’s hurricane response plan, an emergency supply checklist, suggested contents of a “Go Kit’ in case of an evacuation and tips on pet safety. A page is dedicated to preparedness tips for business owners. The handbook also includes online, telephone and electronic media links for obtaining information. Petrone repeated he wanted residents to be prepared for anything. “We want you — whether you are a

resident or a business, an individual or a large family — to be ready for any weather emergency,” he said. “Take the time now to read this booklet, follow its advice and make the preparations so that you, your family, your neighbors and your pets have the best chance of weathering the next storm.” The 16-page handbook will be available at Town Hall and the town’s Senior Center or by contacting the town fire marshal’s office. It can also be viewed or downloaded from the town’s website, at http://huntingtonny.gov/filestorage/13749/13857/ 2017hurricanehandbook_edited.pdf. “Whether it is a winter storm, or a nor’easter, or a hurricane, being informed and being prepared for a potential weather event does save lives and protect property,” Petrone said. “That’s why town government constantly reviews and updates its emergency preparedness plan, and why residents and businesses should, too.” The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through November 30. Typically, Long Island is considered most vulnerable in the later part of the season, in September and October. —victoria espinoza

Holocaust survivor tells Northport students of his past By Victoria Espinoza Victoria@tBrnEwspapErs.com

Hess told the children to imagine living how they are now, except being forced to no longer see their friends, and family members being sent off to concentration camps to do slave labor. Hess himself went through that reality when he was about the same age as the fourth- and fifth-graders he spoke to. Hess’ family had lived in Germany for generations, and his grandparents fought for Germany in World War I. Hess had plans to go to college and become an accountant, however he said this became impossible once Jewish people were no longer allowed to attend college in Germany. This led Hess to drop out of school and learn how to make women’s handbags in a factory in his town. However, soon enough the government shut down the factory, and Hess’ Christian supervisor helped him get work elsewhere undercover, where he was hidden from inspectors. The only part of Hess’ childhood the Northport students could relate to was that he was playing on a local soccer team. He was the only Jewish boy on the team. He had played for years, however one Sunday in 1935 he was told by the coach he could no longer play due to his religion. “Quite a blow to a 14-year-old boy,” he said. Eventually Hess said Jewish-owned stores were closing down, with signs on their windows saying, “owned by Jews, don’t shop from Jews.” Books written by Jews were burned in his town, statues erected for well known Jewish leaders were destroyed and Jewish names were removed from street signs. Hess lost his citizenship, and was given a passport with a large red ‘J’ on it to identify his religion.

Young students in the Northport-East Northport school district were given a firsthand account of one of the most pivotal and horrific periods in human history. Holocaust survivor Werner Hess, 96, spoke to Northport elementary students last week to share his story and encourage attendees to be kind and accepting of one another. Hess’ life changed when Hitler came to power while he was living in Frankfurt, Germany. His mother was able to help him escape to England in 1939 and, Hess eventually arrived in the United States in 1940. He talked about how the events leading up to World War II were encouraged by racial hate speech, and isolating and mistreating certain groups of people. “These horrible sufferings must not be forgotten, and the lessons of the Holocaust must not be diminished into just a footnote in history,” Hess said at Dickinson Avenue Elementary School May 26. “We must educate generations...and combat all forms of racial, religious and ethnic hatred before it is too late.”

Cold Spring Harbor high school principal to retire in June By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Cold Spring Harbor Junior-Senior High School will be changing leadership for the first time in more than a decade, as Principal Jay Matuk is set to retire after the current school year ends. Matuk grew up in New York City, a background he admits is very different than what his students at Cold Spring Harbor have had. He was a bartender at the Waldorf Astoria hotel, where he said he learned how to listen, a valuable trait for the job he’s about to leave. He and his wife moved to Chicago where he taught social studies, and once he moved back to New York he got a job teaching in West Hempstead and eventually landed in administrative roles. He arrived at Cold Spring Harbor in 2006, after serving as principal in the Patchogue-Medford school district, and said he was excited to work in a place with the significant reputation the district had for successful education. “One of the things that I had really grown tired of, year after year working to put programs together and hire people, would end in programs being dismantled and positions being terminated because the financing wasn’t there,” Matuk said in a phone interview. “Here was an opportu-

nity to be able to come to a school district where there was a real strong commitment to education and to programs and the right personnel.” Matuk said he found very quickly that here the students understand and appreciate they’re growing up in a unique environment and work very hard. “What’s amazing about the school is that there is something for everyone,” he said. “There’s over 100 athletic teams ... there is a significant level of support. If there’s a club the kids want to form, the district again is very supportive. If there’s eight or nine kids and it looks like it’s something that they could work with an adult after school I love it because then they’re with an adult after school doing what they’re interested in.” He said he’s proud he has been able to grow the music and art departments during his tenure, by encouraging students to be involved in those classes and giving the teachers the resources they need to do it well. The principal said he hopes the school continues to create opportunities for students after he leaves, with things like business courses and college accounting. Matuk said he’s also proud of the fact that he started open enrollment at the district, so any student can enroll in any course to take on any challenge they might feel up to.

Jay Matuk smiles in his office.

“If a student wants to take an [advanced placement] course and gets a C in the course, I’m okay with that, because that’s part of the experience,” he said. “To me this is the correct way to go about it.” Matuk praised the district’s offering of more than 20 AP courses for students and

smaller class sizes so students are able to work with teachers on a more personal level. “Cold Spring Harbor is a school district where it’s cool to be smart,” Maturk said. “You’ll have someone who is a star on the lacrosse team but will also be performing in a school play … kids that are strong academically will be participating in the comedy club.” The principal said he believes the opportunities supplied to the students at the high school will impact the rest of their lives. Matuk said he’ll miss the traditions of the school, the activities and programs that staff, parents and students work on every year to help celebrate the district. Superintendent Robert Fenter said Matuk’s leadership will be missed. “Mr. Matuk has demonstrated a strong desire to support the many programs in our schools, to support the professionals and support staff who work with our students each and every day, and to ensure that our students were able to engage in the learning experiences necessary to be successful, both in high school and beyond,” he said in an email. “His knowledge of our programs, our students and our community were extremely valuable resources and I will be forever grateful to him for his guidance and assistance.”

County

Suffolk County district attorney candidates emerging

SCPD police comissioner, Huntington criminal lawyer, and veteran/prosecutor to fight By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewsmedia.com

Editorial comment

On the heels of Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota’s (D) decision to forgo Page A22 a run at a fifth term this November, two Republicans and a Democrat, each longtime law enforcers, so far are publicly vying for the county’s top prosecutor job. Spota, who assumed office in 2001, made his official announcement May 12, about a year after County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and several legislators called on him to resign from his position after playing a role in the promotion of former Suffolk County Chief of Police James Burke, who pleaded guilty in February 2016 to charges of a civil rights violation and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Accused of taking part in a police cover-up, which spurred on a federal investigation, Spota has been under scrutiny from both sides of the aisle for the last year. It is not clear whether or not that played a role in his decision. With Spota out of the race, the torch will be passed on to a newcomer, of which there are three known contenders eyeing the seat — Ray Perini (R), former chief and founder of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Narcotics Bureau; Bill Ferris (R), a Vietnam veteran and former assistant district attorney; and Tim Sini (D), current Suffolk County police commissioner — according to the Suffolk County Board of Elections. Each of them, as well as any others who decide to throw their hat in the ring, are expected to file petitions between July 10 and July 13. Perini, 69, a Huntington resident, who entered the race in January, said he’s been training his entire career to be district attorney and wants to “take politics out of the DA’s office.” “At this point in my career, I don’t want anything else,” Perini said. “I don’t want to be county executive, I don’t want to be governor, I don’t want to be judge ... I want to be the next DA because I can make this county safe again.” A highly experienced criminal lawyer with an active practice in Islandia, Perini has 43 years of experience in the criminal justice system, 17 of which were spent as a prosecutor bouncing from Brooklyn to Suffolk County, where he started the Narcotics Bureau in 1976. In 1989, he went on to work with federal and state police agencies, including Suffolk County Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI and drug task forces. He served as co-chair of the Suffolk County Crim-

From left, Bill Ferris, Tim Sini and Ray Perini are currently the three known candidates for Suffolk County district attorney. inal Bar Association’s criminal law committee and is a past president of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association. “There is nothing I haven’t done in the criminal justice system,” Perini said. His major focuses if elected, he said, are gang violence and drug overdoses. “As a united front, working with the federal government, DEA, FBI and cops on the street, collectively, we can win this war [against drugs]. We need experience, this is what I’ve done, this is what I can do. All I care about is getting the job done.” Perini ran unsuccessfully against Spota four years ago after the incumbent was cross-endorsed on all four party lines, for which Perini attacked — Ray Perini Spota for not giving voters a choice at the polls. “I wouldn’t accept a cross-endorsement,” the father of two said. “I want the voters to pick.” Ferris, 70, a former Navy captain in the Vietnam war and Fordham Law School graduate from Southold, announced recently his intention to run against Perini, the choice of the Republican Party for the September primary. “I want to restore the integrity and professionalism to the office, as well as faith in the judicial system and also in law enforcement,” Ferris, who served as prosecutor for 23 years under former Suffolk District Attorney Patrick Henry starting in 1978,

‘I want to be the next DA because I can make this county safe again.’

‘I want to restore the integrity and professionalism to the office, as well as faith in the judicial system and also in law enforcement.’ —Bill Ferris

‘If you take his [Sini] commitments to public service and his professionalism, and put it together, he, by far, surpasses any of the other candidates.’ — David Kelley said. “My background is clear and clean. I was in that office for 23 years and handled homicide, vehicular homicide, served on the Katie Beers [kidnapping] matter, tried a political corruption case against county sheriff Patrick Mahoney, served as president of the Suffolk County Bar Association recently, have taught young lawyers ethics and served on the Grievance Committee for Nassau and Suffolk for eight years.” He said anyone who runs for the DA position has to have a clean record of integrity, accountability and professionalism, all of which the father of two said he has. Among his biggest priority if elected, he said, is getting a handle on the gang situation that has left Suffolk residents feeling unsafe. “I’ll protect the citizens, fight the gangs and give us back our good name,” Ferris said in a statement. “While I was in the DA office, we did have a gang unit, which was discounted under Mr. Spota … The DA’s office is in a critical position to bring in federal agency, state, and local police to put together a master plan to both investigate and prosecute gang members. Parents are afraid on a daily basis to send their kids to school and that should not happen in Suffolk County.” Sini, 36, the youngest commissioner in the history of Suffolk County, announced his official run for the job on the same day Spota made his announcement, despite a claim in front of the county legislature in February 2016 before he was confirmed that he had no intentions of running for

district attorney. “I think that when he said that he wouldn’t run, he meant what he said,” said David Kelley, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and chairman of Sini’s campaign. “Since then, a couple things have happened. Having the insight he does on the needs of the DA’s office and how the shape it’s in is so bad and such a disservice to the county, he could see that firsthand from his vantage point as commissioner from taking on difficult cases like MS-13, recognizing this office needs somebody who can be really good ... he stepped up to the plate and I think that’s exactly what we need.” Sini, who did not return multiple requests for comment through Kelley, has taken on the county’s gang violence and drug problem head-on in his short time in his position. He recently spoke before the U.S. Senate to outline the departments initiatives in tackling the county’s gang problem. “If you take his commitments to public service and his professionalism, and put it together, he, by far, surpasses any of the other candidates and I think he’s exactly what the county needs,” Kelley said. “He’s a professional prosecutor, he’s spent a good part of his career in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, he’s clerked for a federal judge, he’s a highly skilled and highly trained lawyer and prosecutor, and he also knows the ins and outs of the criminal justice system in Suffolk County.”

Listening tour

Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) wrapped up his listening tour Tuesday night, at the Huntington Public Library. The tour kicked off with its first meeting in March at the Northport Public Library, and included meetings at the Cold Spring Harbor Library, Harborfields Public Library and the Huntington Public Library. The purpose of the meetings was to dedicate time for residents and the legislator to connect without a prearranged agenda and to hear from each other on a host of issues impacting the community. “To best represent the interests of the district, it’s key that I hear directly from the residents. The door to my office is always open, but going out into the communities and devoting time to interact with the people in this type of forum is invaluable,” stated Spencer. “What I heard from the people was that they are most concerned about public safety, the opiate epidemic,

cost of living and water quality. As their representative within the county legislature, I will continue to make sure that those concerns are a priority.” Suffolk County Police Department 2nd Precinct Inspector Christopher Hatton joined the legislator at the Huntington library community meeting, to bring his knowledge and expertise to the discussion surrounding public safety. A host of pertinent questions, regarding issues ranging from the rise of MS-13 gang activity and opiate drug arrests within the 2nd Precinct to the effectiveness of ShotSpotter, was posed to the inspector. “By continuing to work closely with the community and keeping the lines of communication open, together we can ensure that county government, as well as other levels of government, is attuned to the needs of the 18th Legislative District and those needs are met effectively and efficiently,” Spencer said. “Residents are always welcome to call my office at 631-854-4500 with any questions or concerns they may have.”

He saw German troops marching through his streets singing, “Jewish heads must roll, Jewish blood must be spilt.” Gestapo officers came to Hess’ house to arrest his father and bring him to a concentration camp. “After they were convinced that my father was sick and dying, they asked for me,” he said. “I was hiding in the attic of the apartment we lived in. They told my mother I should report to them when I returned home or else I would be killed on site. Trembling and with tears in her eyes, my mother came to my hiding place and sent me off to the designated assembly point.” When Hess arrived at the train station he was told the last round of transfers just left and they would get him on the next train, but it never showed and he was sent home. “Whether it was just luck or higher powers that protected me I don’t know,” he said. When Hess was 17-years-old, shortly after his father died, he was able to escape Germany and fled to England. “Saying goodbye to my mother at the train station in Frankfurt was very, very difficult,” he said. “Put yourself in my position. Having just lost my father, saying goodbye to my mother and not being assured if we would ever see each other

again. Forced to leave family and friends, and head to a foreign country where I didn’t speak the language.” He said traveling to England was not easy, and people were constantly taken off trains by border guards and shipped to concentration camps to be murdered — including his aunt, uncle and cousins. Eventually Hess was able to bring his mother to England and in 1940 he left for America. Three years later he was drafted into the Army. “It was not only the Jewish people who suffered during this time,” Hess said. “Millions of innocent people of all religions were killed. We are all created in the image of God, you may not like each person you meet in your life, that does not mean you must hate an entire race, ethnic group or religion. You must respect the human rights of everyone.” After Hess finished speaking students asked him dozens of questions about his life, what soccer position he played, what it was like making handbags, what he misses about Germany and if he’s ever been back. Students looked in awe at his original passport he used to travel out of Germany, and saw the red ‘J‘ and Swastika symbols covering the front. “In those 12 years he [Hitler] turned one of the most civilized nations in the world into one of the most barbarous of all time,” he said. “Please do not bully your friends, because everyone is different, but that doesn’t mean you need to hate them. So be nice to each other.”

Almost 1,500 athletes will compete in more than 350 crews, representing some 150 teams from across the country battling for national titles in 18 boat classes. “I am hoping to have good results against some great competition,” Nykolyn said. — huntington athletics

Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the Son of God, immaculate virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me & show me here in, you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times). Oh Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands. (3 times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can obtain my goals. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me.

The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted. Thank you again. M.S.

Supporting Sini’s successes An easy way to honor our vets File photo

Tim Sini has stabilized what was a seriously unstable situation. The former prosecutor turned Suffolk County police commissioner took over following former commissioner James Burke’s arrest and ultimate sentencing for unjustly beating a man who stole a duffle bag from his sport utility vehicle and overhauled the department. Sini brought back the public’s faith in the police. He announced last week that he will run for Suffolk County district attorney. Since his role began in 2015, he has helped expand Crime Stopper’s reach to include a tip hotline; rolled out the 631-852-NARC number where residents can anonymously report drug dealings; unveiled The Ugly Truth program, which raise awareness about and informs parents of the signs of substance abuse, as well as explains the physical and emotional consequences of using drugs; and helped train 3,000 people to administer Narcan, an opioid overdose reversal drug. Sini also reported last year was the safest year in the department’s history, with crime statistics dropping to an all-time low. The current commissioner’s reign has also brought in a period of increased transparency, holding press events sometimes multiple times a week for updates on cases, constantly refreshing the department’s Facebook page with videos and information about arrests, and encouraging residents to get involved by submitting tips that have successfully lead to many arrests. In two short years Sini has made his mark on the Suffolk County Police Department, and it’s a shame to see the captain leave the ship, especially at a time when steady leadership is needed most, as MS13 gang violence has garnered national attention in recent months, as with the opioid and fentanyl crisis. It’s unclear who would replace Sini if he is elected this November, but he or she will certainly have big shoes to fill. And on a side note, we have heard concerns about Sini running for office while continuing to work as commissioner. It’s our opinion that if the president of this country can run for re-election while continuing to serve, a local police commissioner should have no problem doing the same.

Every day, around the world, our United States Armed Forces stand ready to protect our freedoms, our democracy and our way of life. They risk their lives for our country and, thanks to philanthropic support, we at Long Island State Veterans Home (LISVH) stand ready in return. We are honored to care for the valiant men and women who ensure our nation’s safety — the brave who today bear the scars of sacrifice and com-

mitment. Today, we ask you to help us pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country. Without question, gifts from people like you fuel our promise to veterans. And so this Memorial Day, we invite you to join in our commitment to stand ready for them. As you consider making a commitment to the Long Island Veterans Home, know that you have the opportunity to honor a

loved one or simply make a gift to commemorate our nation’s heroes past, present and future. Also know, along with the veterans we serve, you too have earned our lasting gratitude. Thank you for all that you have already done and continue to do. Your support at any level will be a source of inspiration for all of us who live and work here.

Fred S. Sganga Executive Director Long Island State Veterans Home

Paying tribute to those fallen Memorial Day is a day when we give thanks to those who have bravely fought and sacrificed their lives in defense of our freedoms and liberties. Let us join together in solemn remembrance to honor the tireless guardians who made the ultimate sacrifice. These heroes selflessly safeguarded the eternal values that we too often take for granted as Americans. All good things come with a price, and liberty is no exception. The cost of freedom was paid for by the lives of our fallen soldiers, and their sacrifice must always be held in the highest regard. As a nation, we can never forget the courageous deeds of our service members. Regardless of one’s views on a particular conflict or one’s positions on aspects of foreign policy, on Memorial Day,

we come together as a nation to honor all who fought for our freedom to possess such dissents. It is the brave soldiers who departed our nation, away from the safety of their home and comfort of their family, to whom we owe our highest respect and admiration. The United States is the greatest nation on Earth because of the courageous men and women who stood in the line of fire to protect us. At a time when the world has become vulnerable to the threat of violence, fear and intimidation, it is so important that we give our service members our unyielding gratitude for all they have done for us. These heroes deserve to know that, after returning home from conflict, they will be greeted with the care and

support from a grateful nation, respect that they have so remarkably earned. It is because of their selfless acts that we are able to call ourselves Americans, a distinction that not only expresses what country we are a part of or our sacred bond of national unity but also who we are as a nation that makes us the greatest country in the world. Our nation is nothing without the courageous sacrifices of our military members, and every single one of us should be eager to give our respect to all who came before us and paid the ultimate price, as well as all those who are still serving today. God bless America and our service members.

OpiniOn Taking old routines to new destinations

W

e all have our routines. We go to certain restaurants, drive certain routes to work and support certain gas stations, where we know we’ll get a competitive price, a friendly response from the attendant and rapid service. When we travel, everything changes. We sleep in unfamiliar beds, flick the channels on television stations where the stations aren’t the same numbers as they are on Long By Daniel Dunaief Island, and navigate along routes that aren’t our familiar pattern. Breaking the routine offers us a chance to step away from our lives and to experience something new. Maybe we’ll go to a museum in a new city

D. None of the above

or visit a place we’ve seen in a movie, which blends both the familiar and the unknown. Our level of adventure and appetite for risk — as in, what happens if I don’t like the experience — can rise or fall depending on our travel companions. Recently, I visited another city for a weekend with my daughter, who was traveling with a group of her teenage contemporaries and their parents. We all managed to get to our designated stops in our cars and to return to a hotel chain so ubiquitous that, with the blinds closed and without access to the local weather on TV, we could have been in Anywhere, USA. We each had a GPS and an address for our activities which reduced both the stress and the adventure that came from the unknown. While we could have gotten lost, the probability of that seemed slim. Getting lost, nerve-racking as it might have been 20 years ago, is almost an impossibility with navigation systems built into cars, phones and watches.

Following an afternoon activity, several of the girls decided they were hungry. One of the members of the group suggested a national pizza chain, to which the others readily agreed. I wrinkled my brow at the suggestion and wondered, as a cellphone order was quickly placed, whether we might want to try a local pizza restaurant instead. “No, that’s OK,” I was assured. “This will be better.” I waited in a packed car until the order was placed, at which point the girl in the back transferred the address to her mother, who was riding shotgun during my weekend away with my daughter. “Honey,” the mom said, “are you sure you dialed the closest restaurant?” “Yes,” the daughter grumbled, shaking her head at her mother. “I just checked the address for this restaurant and it’s two hours from here. You sure you want a pizza that far away?” “Wait, what?” the daughter said, double-checking the address and the

phone. Sure enough, the restaurant was on the other side of the state. “Wait, before you order from a closer one,” I said, as she was already searching her phone for a nearby restaurant, “we’re sitting right outside a pizza restaurant. Don’t you want to try this one?” “No, thanks,” she said, trying to be polite to someone else’s parent. “We want this one.” When we got to the closer restaurant, we ran into another parent who was picking up pizza for his family. With so many other local choices, how did both families make the identical choice? I suppose they might have discussed their food preference during the day. That was unlikely, given the social split in the group. Alternatively, they have become so accustomed to the familiar that they prefer it, even when traveling. I suppose when the opportunity for something new and different knocks, people don’t always feel the urge to answer the door.

the recent article in the Times: “Planning to Age in Place? Find a Contractor Now” by Paula Span. At this point, with about 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, it would make the most sense for every new house to be constructed according to what is termed “universal design.” Such homes would have bathroom grab bars, higher toilets, curbless showers, widened doorways and added lighting. Such features would promote independence for the disabled and older people. There are other associations that offer similar certification programs. Certified Living in Place Professional program is one such. Local agencies on aging and senior centers may also give this kind of information. What seems to work best is if an occupational therapist and a CAPS, or equivalently trained graduate, team up to interview each homeowner and determine what is most needed. Costs for these modifications can be a problem. There is little government help for such remodeling, with the exception of the Department of Veterans Affairs and perhaps Medicaid. Some states do offer tax credits but not many.

Mostly such alterations are privately financed, despite the potential savings from staying at home. A bipartisan bill was introduced in Congress last year for a $30,000 federal tax credit, but to date it has gone nowhere. Approximate costs could run as follows, according to Bawden: two grab bars installed for $200-$300; replace doorknobs with lever handles $60-$90; for every relocated electrical outlet or switch, $175-$250. Those are the smaller costs. Then there is replacing a tub with a roll-in shower at $8,000$10,000, and an entirely new bathroom with universal design elements for more than $25,000. The biggest hurdle of all may be to get older residents to feel that they need such modifications. At the least, kitchen floors might be textured rather than covered with tiles that are slippery when wet; the color of the kitchen counters might contrast with the color of the floor as the more elderly lose depth perception; front edges of stairs could be outlined with colored tape; freezers are safer in a pullout drawer at the bottom of a refrigerator — and, for Pete’s sake, get rid of those muchbeloved throw rugs.

Home sweet home into old age

I

f you were to ask those of us of a certain age, we would insist that we want to age in place. That is, we want to continue to live in our houses, cook in our kitchens and sleep in our bedrooms. This is a worthy goal for it saves family and the government a lot of money. Statistics have shown that hospitalization and nursing homes are far more costly than living at By Leah S. Dunaief home. Still, we also know that more accidents happen in the home, and that means continuing to live at home presents certain challenges. The greatest hazard, it would seem, is for older adults to fall. Now, and for the last score of years, there are programs with certifications that train people how to make homes safer, especially for preventing falls. For example,

Between you and me

the National Association of Home Builders offers a course that trains CAPS: certified aging in place specialists. These may be builders, remodelers, occupational therapists or interior designers who can come into a home and make suggestions for retrofitting. There are 3,500 such specialists but Dan Bawden, from Houston, who helped develop the program in 2001, told The New York Times there are 10 times as many needed to upgrade such homes. The highest rate of home ownership in the country, some 80 percent, is by older people, and the great majority of us are in single-family homes. The three most important features allowing residents to move around safely are: to have an entrance without steps; to live on a single floor; and to have hallways and doorways wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard, less than 4 percent meet that description. And if further features are thrown in, like doors with lever handles — rather than knobs — plus light switches and electric outlets that can be reached from a wheelchair, that rate falls to 1 percent, according to
