Grand marshal named for 85th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade BY CHRISTINA COULTER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM This year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade grand marshal has enough Irish in him to go around. Thousands will line the streets of New York Avenue and Main Street in Huntington Village March 17 for the 85th iteration of the community’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the most time-honored celebration of the holiday on Long Island. This year, full-blooded Irishman and longtime Huntington Hibernian Timothy Rossiter, 72, will lead the parade as grand marshal in a traditional morning suit tuxedo and a dyed-green boutonniere. It will also be his 25th year participating. “It’s a grand tradition of the Irish people and it gives one the opportunity to express your heritage to the community,” said Rossiter. “It’s just a very, very fun day — everybody wishes they were Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day. It brings the community together, and that’s probably the most important thing.” Rossiter, who was born in Brooklyn, said he was appointed to the dignified position during the group’s Halfway to Saint Patty’s Day dinner
in September of last year. He joined Division 4 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the largest Irish Catholic fraternal order in the U.S., in 1994. Since then, he has been involved in countless St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, annual turkey drives and other charity efforts. A regular hospice volunteer, he also serves on the Visiting Nurse Service and Hospice of Suffolk, is acting treasurer of the area American Legion Post 360 and serves on the Hibernians’ charity fundraising arm, the board of Taispeain Charities. He said he uses his business connections as president of the Rossiter Financial Group to help raise funds. A golf enthusiast, Rossiter heads up the Hibernians’ Paul Costello Memorial Golf Outing, which supports local food pantries annually. “I was asked to join the Hibernians way back when — I was interested in community service and this was a way to give back to the community,” said Rossiter. “I love the aspect that [Huntington] is relatively small, it’s very community-driven. Mostly, people get along with one another extremely well. It presents a good environment to bring up your children and it’s also a very vibrant business community.” Rossiter said that the Hibernians attend a
10 a.m. Mass before marching, followed by a breakfast of scrambled eggs and Guinness. After years of participation, Rossiter will finally be able to rest his feet in a reviewer’s booth, where he will sidle off to early in the procession. Beginning at 2 p.m. at the Huntington train station, the parade will include 2,000 participants and feature performances from a slew of bands and drum corps, including the New York Police Department’s The Emerald Society along with local high school marching bands and pipe bands. After turning west onto Main Street, the procession will funnel into Saint Patrick’s Church at 400 West Main St. A parade route and further information can be accessed at http://www.huntingtonhibernian. com/parade. The preceding annual Grand Marshal’s Ball will be held at The Larkfield Restaurant in East Northport at 6 p.m. on March 8. Raffle tickets cost $175 at the door, and the grand prize is a trip for two to Ireland. Proceeds will go toward parade costs. “I’m so excited I’m ready to jump out of my skin,” said Rossiter. “I’m very humbled and it’s quite an honor to be chosen to lead the parade.”

East Northport man convicted for transporting child pornography
An East Northport man and registered sex offender has been sentenced on transporting, trading and possessing child pornography. In federal court in Central Islip, Brian Newton, 38, was sentenced to 19 years in prison by United States District Judge Joseph F. Bianco Feb. 27. This followed a guilty plea May 3, 2018, to the transportation of child pornography in interstate and foreign commerce. As part of his sentence, Newton must serve five years supervised release following his imprisonment, during which time he must remain registered as a sex offender and not have unsupervised contact with minors. Richard Donoghue, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and William F. Sweeney Jr., the assistant director in charge of the FBI New York Field Office announced the sentence. “Newton, despite being a registered sex offender, again chose to victimize children by sharing images of their abuse with others online, conduct that is deserving of a substantial prison sentence and underscores a message of deterrence to others,” said Donoghue. “The protection of innocent children is a priority of utmost importance for this office and our law enforcement partners. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that those who victimize children will be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” Newton, who at the time of the charged offense was on probation from a conviction in Suffolk County in 2014 for possession of child pornography, was allegedly caught trading child pornography including sadistic depictions of the sexual abuse of infants and toddlers, according to the U.S. attorney’s office. During the execution of a search warrant at his residence, police seized Newton’s large collection of child pornography, including hundreds of videos and thousands of images. After his arrest, Newton admitted engaging in conversations with minors over internet chat

platforms, as well as sending nude images of himself to minors and soliciting nude images from minors. “Child pornography is not an abstract crime. It is a direct by-product of the sexual abuse of innocent children — in this instance, including infants and toddlers,” Sweeney said. “And though he was already on probation for a prior child pornography conviction, Newton continued and even escalated his depraved actions, sharing child pornography while sexually soliciting minor children online.” This prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative led by the Department of Justice to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. attorneys’ offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. The government’s case is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Long Island Criminal Division. Assistant United States attorneys Lara T. Gatz and Michael R. Maffei were in charge of the prosecution.

Former Commack school worker indicted for having drugs/guns
A former worker at the Commack School District has been indicted for the alleged illegal possession of weapons and drugs following an investigation by the Suffolk County Police Department. “It’s very concerning to have an individual who has access to a school allegedly be in possession of drugs and illegal firearms,” Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) said in a statement. “Residents in the defendant’s neighborhood saw something, said something, and the Suffolk County Police Department acted swiftly to investigate and arrest this defendant.” Patrick Musumeci, 30, a former maintenance worker for Commack School District, was charged with four counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, five counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, four counts of criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree and several misdemeanors. On Feb. 6, at approximately 5:35 a.m., Suffolk County police detectives from the 5th Squad Special Operations Team and officers from the Emergency Service Section and 5th Precinct Gang Unit executed a search warrant at Musumeci’s residence, located at 57 Wilmarth Ave. in Patchogue. The search warrant was executed pursuant to a narcotics investigation into alleged drug dealing at the residence, which was reported to police through the Suffolk County Crime Stoppers hotline. Commack school officials reacted to news of Musumeci’s arrest by posting a letter to district residents on its website. “The district has found no evidence to date that he ever brought a weapon or drugs onto school property,” reads the district’s statement. “To date, we have not found any suspicious activity on school property.” Musumeci was allegedly in illegal possession of four assault weapons and four additional firearms, namely a Bee Miller 9 mm semi-automatic rifle, a .233-caliber Bushmaster Remington semi-automatic rifle, a .233-caliber Smith and Wesson Remington semi-automatic rifle, a .22-caliber CBC long rifle semi-automatic rifle, a .40-caliber Glock Smith and Wesson semi-automatic pistol, a .40-caliber Taurus Smith and Wesson semi-automatic pistol, a .22-caliber Sturm, Ruger & Co. revolver and a .38-caliber Smith and Wesson special revolver. Musumeci also allegedly possessed brass knuckles.

Two of the handguns recovered during the search warrant were previously reported stolen. Musumeci is also alleged to have possessed quantities of oxycodone; methadone; Xanax; morphine; concentrated cannabis, known as THC, in e-cigarette cartridges; marijuana; a digital scale; and packaging materials consistent with narcotics sales. Musumeci was also allegedly in possession of several hand-pressed pills made to resemble oxycodone. An analysis of the pills revealed they were actually composed of a mixture of fentanyl, methamphetamine and tramadol. Information on Musumeci’s attorney was not available. Musumeci was arraigned on the indictment Feb. 28 by Suffolk County Supreme Court Justice Mark Cohen. Bail was previously set at $100,000 cash or $200,000 bond. He is due back in court March 19. If convicted of the top count, Musumeci faces a maximum sentence of up to nine years in prison. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Nicole Felice of the Narcotics Bureau.

Commack community unites for 10th annual St. Baldrick’s Day event BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Students, teachers and parents in Commack recently went bald for a cause. For the 10th year running, members of the Commack School District and surrounding community gathered at the high school March 1 to shave their heads in support of childhood cancer research. Over 100 people participated to raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a not-forprofit whose goal is to raise funds to find cures for childhood cancer. In the past nine years the district has held the event, Commack has raised over $650,000. This year the district raised close to $45,000, with some teams donating well over $10,000. The annual event is organized by Commack High School teachers Lee Tunick, Bill Scaduto and Dan Revera. Since its inception, close to 1,000 people have shaved their heads in solidarity to those suffering childhood cancer. Hairdressing students from Eastern Suffolk BOCES donated their time to cut the participants hair. The idea for the fundraiser came about through a cancer awareness club that Revera and Scaduto ran at the high school for
quite some time. “Bill Scaduto and myself have been working in this building for 20 years,” said Revera. At that time St. Baldrick’s didn’t exist as we know it today. When we first found out about St. Baldrick’s, we would go to a school in Northport and a colleague of mine thought why don’t we host our own event here [at the high school].” Now with the event in its 10th year, Revera said it is great to see Commack School District students and community come out to support this. “One of the main influx of people [that come here] are the elementary students,” the high school teacher said. “Anything that we can do to generate [money] to help these kids who are going through this is great.” Revera added that the students that came to the event have shown bravery, have stood up for what’s right and are dedicated to a good cause. “That’s why we are here,” he said. “Just the thought of a family going through something like this and dealing with their child battling cancer — I can’t even imagine. If providing one day where we can support them and try to help however we can, it’s the least we can do.”

Town/County
Residents respond to proposed parking changes in Huntington BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In response to the Town of Huntington proposed legislation to change the town’s traffic code, residents voiced their concerns and displeasure of the possible stricter penalties and its potential ramifications at a public hearing at Town Hall March 5. The proposed amendments would increase fines for violations, enhance enforcement and help collect on parking violations. These changes are part of the town’s approaches to alleviate parking issues in Huntington. Engineer and Huntington resident Daniel Karpen took exception to the changes, saying it would bar residents from obtaining town-issued permits until parking tickets are cleared up. “I don’t know why one has to deal with the other — why would you want to penalize people who want to take their child to the beach but have to deal with a ticket when they couldn’t find a place to park,” Karpen said. “This is mean to the public.” Part of the parking changes would also include a requirement that parking summons and tickets be answered within 30 days or face an imposed default judgment, the nonrenewal of their New York State motor vehicle registration

and possible immobilization. Karpen cited the reason residents are getting fined is because there is a shortage of parking spaces in Huntington. He said a year ago he came to a town board meeting asking for more small car parking lots in the area. “I liked to know what progress has been made to put small car parking lots in downtown Huntington,” he told the town board. Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) responded that the town has eyed several locations for additional parking areas and mentioned they are awaiting the final results of the $16,000 study of a proposed parking garage, which was approved in October, 2018. “We do believe stronger enforcement will encourage a change in driver behavior and end the abuse of time limits for free parking, both of
which we expect to have a positive impact on the parking experience in downtown Huntington,” Lupinacci said. Currently, the fine for not paying for parking in one of the town’s metered spaces comes out to $25. If Lupinacci’s proposed changes are approved the charge would increase to $75. If an individual is caught without a permit in a handicapped spot, the charge would increase from a flat fine of $200 up to a maximum of $600. Paul Warburgh, who has been a parking violation volunteer for the town for over five years, said under the resolutions the town would do away with the volunteers, and their duties would be taken over by the town’s uniform public safety officers. “The volunteers are on duty seven days a week, 24 hours a day,” Warburgh said. “I’m
on duty at the Stop & Shop at 8:30 in the morning witnessing fire lane and handicapped violations.” He acknowledged the need for some changes to be made to the volunteer program, but it didn’t mean the town should get rid of it and asked the board to reconsider the proposal. “Are we going to get a uniformed officer there at that time, or at the post office at night when people decide to pull into the handicapped parking spaces because they feel like they’re entitled to do so?,” Warburgh said. “We are the enforcement — we provide a public service and we try to do our best.” Jeff Bartels, of Lloyd Harbor, brought up the issue of handicapped parking within the town. “Who is getting some of these handicapped permits?,” he asked. “I mean I see these construction trucks [parked] — the guy is doing constructing and has a handicapped tag on his mirror. How can you be handicapped and be a contractor — that doesn’t really fit.” Linked with the proposed changes is also an amnesty program. The town will be offering a one-time 40 percent discount on the balance of an unpaid parking fine through April 1 as it tries to deal with residents owing more than $1.8 million in about 4,700 unpaid parking summonses and penalties.
Bellone aims to secure Suffolk’s finances with new reform plan BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County financial reform has leaped to the tops of the minds of members of both parties in county government. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) announced proposals aimed at strengthening Suffolk’s financial future at a press conference in Hauppauge Feb. 27. As part of the Securing Suffolk’s Financial Future Act, Bellone proposed amending the county Tax Act to allow the county to collect tax revenue that is owed in January, instead of waiting until June. Officials said the plan is the latest in the county’s efforts to streamline operations and be more efficient. Bellone said the goal of the plan is to help strengthen the county’s financial condition going forward. “When we look at planning ahead, looking beyond where we are today and thinking about where we’ll be five, 10, 15 years down the road — it’s important that we do that,” the county executive said. The plan would build upon previous undertakings by the county, which include bipartisan efforts to bring the county in line with the best finance practices set forth by financial experts

from the Office of the New York State Comptroller and the Government Finance Officers Association, according to Bellone. In doing so, the county would press to amend the Tax Act, which would require state legislation. The county executive said the 100-year-old law is seriously outdated. “It would ensure the county would get tax revenue that it is owed at the beginning of the year instead of waiting until June and [being] forced to borrow funds,” he said. “This is an issue that crosses party lines, this is not an issue
that is partisan or [one] that should be partisan.” The county executive called for the authorization of a four-year budget plan, which would allow the county to focus on long-term projects as well as updated debt management and fund balance policies. New computer software will be purchased to enhance transparency and accountability. Suffolk Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R), a known critic of Bellone, announced plans in February to run for county executive in November. His campaign has attacked Bellone on the current state of the county’s finances, placing a lot of the blame on his Democratic contender for a downgrade in Suffolk’s bond rating and for raising county fees. Kennedy said Bellone is just attempting to look fiscally responsible. “Steve Bellone doesn’t know how to spend less,” Kennedy said. In a Jan. 31 TBR News Media article, Eric Naughton, Suffolk’s budget director, said while the county’s bond rating has dropped, Kennedy were “overstating” the impact. He said Moody’s, which gives the bond grades to municipalities, was only looking at the past and not the future. Kennedy has said he plans to consolidate county offices in order to reduce taxes.
Legislator Rob Calarco (D-Patchogue), deputy presiding officer, said fiscal responsibility is the top priority when talking about taxpayer dollars. “These policies that we are laying out are common-sense ways to ensure that we are transparent with the public,” he said. The county executive also called for re-establishing an insurance reserve fund, originally created in 1980, which would assist in paying unexpected legal expenses. There was a call as well to reorganize the county’s audit joint committee and add more members. Bellone said the changes would allow for a more robust and diversified review of the fiscal condition of the county. Deputy County Executive Jon Kaiman (D), who helped piece the plan together along with a team from the county executive’s office, said its goal was to figure out how Suffolk County can be best managed and reach its fullest potential. “What we can do is to present reform in a manner to get the best out of what this county can offer,” Kaiman said. County officials indicated legislation has been filed and expect a hearing to be set at the end of March and the proposals could be up for consideration into law sometime in April.

Editorial
Celebrating women March is Women’s History Month, a time to honor the feminine icons who have left their mark on the world. However, when it comes to learning about accomplished women, in many ways, people need to educate themselves. A recent article from the Smithsonian Magazine cited a report from the virtual National Women’s History Museum released in 2017 titled “Where Are the Women?” The study examined the status of women’s history in state-level social studies standards seen in the K-12 curriculum and found only 178 women. This find was compared to 559 men found in the same scholastic standards. Fortunately, while school systems catch up with including the countless impressive women in history missing in their curricula, many libraries and museums offer programs dedicated to Women’s History Month offering information about the lives of so many amazing and impactful women who may not be included in a high school textbook. Of course, there are options to increase your knowledge, such as digging a little deeper on the library shelves or the internet to find out information beyond the frequently told stories of abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, civil rights activist Rosa Parks or 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Those women are out there and are not as hidden as one may think. We’ve come up with just a few powerful women who may not be referenced enough, or not at all, in the history books. Elizabeth Jennings Graham was an African-American teacher who in 1854, when Manhattan streetcars were mostly segregated, fought for the right to ride in any car. She won her case in New York courts in 1855, and by 1865 all New York City transit systems were desegregated. Margaret Hamilton was the lead software engineer for NASA’s Apollo program. Along with her team, she wrote the code algorithms for the spacecraft’s in-flight software. Apollo 11 went on to become the first mission to successfully land humans on the moon. Sonia Maria Sotomayor, born in the Bronx, become the first Latina and Hispanic justice in the Supreme Court of the U.S. when President Barack Obama (D) appointed her to associate justice in 2009. Digging even further into history and across the sea, there is Ching Shih, a female pirate leader, who lived in the late 1700s to early 1800s. History has remembered Shih as a fierce warrior who commanded more than 300 Chinese sailing ships, defeating Qing dynasty Chinese officials and Portuguese and British bounty hunters. She was so successful she managed to force the Chinese government to grant her a pardon. Unlike the careers of other famous pirates in the Caribbean, she died peacefully in her bed. Stories like these and others of women’s impact on the world and our everyday lives are out there waiting to be discovered. We encourage our readers to go out and find those stories or perhaps even make history themselves.

Letters to the editor
Democrats should support border wall I have a good idea for all the Democratic, anti-President Donald Trump (R) letter writers who believe there is no crisis at our borders. Why don’t they all go to areas in our country that have “no walls” with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D), U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and all the rest of the Democratic hopefuls for president and
actually observe what’s going on and talk to the border patrol, homeland security and immigration officials and officers? Maybe then they will stop the rhetoric and possibly see how the Democratic leaders are using this crisis for political reasons, especially since they did agree that there was a crisis when President Obama
(D) was in office. Let’s actually keep our country safe from illegal immigrants that come into our country causing all types of crimes against our citizens, and possibly begin to think beyond political parties. Richard Esopa Miller Place
This past January at the state budget address New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) rolled out his policy proposal to potentially legalize the recreational sale and use of marijuana. In his fancy PowerPoint presentation, Cuomo highlighted the benefits from legalizing the recreational sale and use of marijuana. He proposed that the policy would increase jobs for growers, distributors, retailers and the tax revenue — the root of all evil — generated by approving this policy. Cuomo claims that the revenue from legal marijuana could generate up to $300 million annually once the policy is in full effect. What was left out of Cuomo’s plan are the risks on the general public that will follow if this policy is approved by the state. Is Cuomo dismissing the fact that marijuana is a mind-altering substance? Peer-reviewed studies have shown that marijuana use increases the risk of psychiatric disorders. Scientifically, we know that the human brain does not fully develop until the ages of 25-26. By Cuomo saying that it is perfectly legal to start recreationally smoking marijuana when you turn 21, he is basically telling you to start using a
mind-altering substance that may cause a negative impact on the growth of your adult brain. Further implications of this proposal include having an effect on parents, and on treatment professionals who are educating their children and clients on the potential dangers of marijuana use. I am both a parent of three daughters under the age of 21 and a treatment professional in the field of alcohol and substance abuse. I personally would be opposed to tell my daughters that at 21 years old they have the legal right to use a substance that I know could place them at risk to develop a psychiatric disorder, have a decrease in motivation, and possibly develop a dependence for the drug which could lead to the exploration of other mindaltering substances. Of course, supporters of this policy proposal will argue that alcohol, cigarettes and prescription opioids are legal substances that pose a health risk, but also generate revenue. As a society, have we not learned from our past mistakes? Look at what has happened since Purdue Pharma said back in the late 1990s that OxyContin
had no potential for abuse. The heroin epidemic we face today, and millions of dollars spent fighting it, are because of the mismanagement and misinformed information that was provided to the public. How is this policy going to help the current state of health care? With health care systems wanting to improve overall health outcomes from a medical and behavioral health integration model, how does the legalization of recreational marijuana help cut medical and behavioral health care costs? One could argue allowing marijuana to be used recreationally would increase the risks of individuals developing a psychiatric or medical illness, which could lead to poorer health outcomes and increased health care costs. Hopefully Cuomo can see past the dollar signs in his eyes when dreaming about this proposal, and see the potential risks and dangers that the approval of this policy can have on our state in years to come.

Clean, safe drinking water is a human right. This year, New York State is set to establish the toughest in the nation drinking water standards. These landmark standards will ensure that New Yorkers are protected from emerging contaminants that pollute our drinking water. However, clean drinking water comes with a price tag. Those who pollute our water should be responsible for the costs of cleaning up our water. That’s why I introduced a bill to close loopholes in state law that have allowed polluters to evade fiscal responsibility for the costs of cleaning up the contamination they’ve caused. This would allow public water authorities and districts the ability to potentially recoup
hundreds of millions of dollars -- essential funds desperately needed to treat and contain emerging contaminants within our water systems. Last year Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) pledged $200 million towards cleaning up this effort. This is a good step forward, but New York State cannot and should not fund this fight alone. The federal government has once again bucked its responsibility to protect our drinking water by delaying implementation of critical standards, which determine the level at which a contaminant triggers a water authority to reduce and remove it from our water supply. These standards are too important to delay. this year New York, using expert
recommendations from environmentalists, academics, health professionals, and water authority officials, will set toughest in the nation drinking water standards. We must continue taking steps forward to protect our drinking water so that it is safe for generations to come. We must pass legislation to hold polluters accountable for contaminating our drinking water. And we must urge the federal government to make our environment a priority and share in the cost of ensuring our drinking water is clean and safe. Because that should be something we can all agree on. Jim Gaughran State Sen. 5th District

The ongoing search for ‘just right’
W
hen my daughter drives to a crosswalk and a pedestrian is crossing, she feels terrible if the person on foot starts to jog or sprint, pushing him or herself to move more quickly so my daughter can continue on her way. My daughter also gets annoyed if the person suddenly slows down. Life is full of those “just right” moments. If our hot chocolate is D. None too hot, we risk of the above burning the roofs of our mouths. If BY DANIEL DUNAIEF it’s too cold, it doesn’t have the desired effect of warming us up.
It’s what makes the Goldilocks story so relatable. The father’s bed is too hard, the mother’s is too soft, but the baby’s bed is just right. When my family searched for new beds, we collapsed into one mattress after another, imagining a good night’s sleep, just the right book or a good movie with perfectly balanced sound. Most salespeople spend their careers trying to find the right fit for someone, whether it’s a shoe, bed, car, house or any of the myriad items that fill my email box overnight while I sleep. Life involves the constant search for just right. If we won every game we played, the competition wouldn’t be strong enough and we wouldn’t push ourselves to get better. A movie with absolutely no adversity can be charming, but it can also wear thin quickly, as the lack of suspense can lead us to wonder whether a dystopian conflict is pending.
Even in the world of friendships, we search for just-right friends. We generally don’t seek friends who want to talk to us all the time, or who can barely make time for us. We also don’t want friends who agree with everything we say. A few people, public figures and otherwise, seem eager to find people who reinforce their brilliance regularly. I would prefer to find people with viewpoints that differ from my own, which force me to defend my ideas and allow me incorporate new perspectives into my thinking or behavioral patterns. Just right for any one person can and often is different from just right for someone else, which enhances the notion that we can find someone who is a great match or complement for us. Ideally, the non-just-right shoes, weather, girlfriends, boyfriends or jobs teach us more about ourselves. Why, we wonder, didn’t that work? Once we figure that out, we have a better chance at understanding what does. Sometimes, like the bed that doesn’t feel
comfortable at first but eventually becomes the only one that affords us a quality sleep, we grow into a role and find that the previous tasks or conversations, which had seemed so odious initially, are a much better fit than we originally thought, as a result of the changes in ourselves. And, as Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, “There’s the rub.” The pursuit of just right in any context can change as we age. Our high school tastes in music, clothing, cars, houses, jobs or any other choices can and do change with each landmark reunion, making it more difficult to know what we want or what we’re searching for. While I share my daughter’s guilt when a pedestrian rushes across the crosswalk to let me go or prevents me from running down that person, I’m not as frustrated by someone who slows down. I try to determine, watching that person pause in the middle of the street, how this might be a “just right” moment for the pedestrian.
Hold on, winter is not all doom and gloom
T
his is the time of mixed seasonal emotions. On the one hand, the deep cabin fever that sets in with February is still with us. Winter is upon the land, the trees are skeletons, the bushes just sticks and the lawns an anemic greenish brown. Even the evergreens, instead of being a lusty hunter green, are more like a drab olive, branches hangBetween ing dutifully but you and me limply, to remind us that all color BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF has not entirely disappeared from view. That’s probably also an apt description of our souls, suffering from winter’s darkness and yearning for color and warmth. Patches of
snow, remnants of the recent storm, have also lost their luster and serve only to nudge us that winter still has us in its grip. So do the ever widening potholes. But — and this is only a tiny “but” — March is here. That means we have made it through the coldest, darkest months. This weekend, we will switch to daylight savings time, so those who work past 6 o’clock in the evening will not be stumbling out from their stores and offices into the darkness. There will still be evidence of some day left. Remember, though, to drive with extra care during the week following the change, for statistics tell us there are more car incidents after losing even one hour on one’s biological clock. With the advent of March, if we hold on three weeks, comes the official start of spring. Now we know that Mother Nature doesn’t check the calendar, and we can get wicked snowstorms after spring officially begins. But that likelihood is less and would be a grand finale rather than the beginning of a long siege. So there is the smallest whiff of hope

for the return of better weather. Also if you look closely at the bushes, you can see buds. Buds! That means flowers will be coming, and leaves, the bright green leaves of early spring. If we really want to get delirious about color, we can trek to Philadelphia to drink in the world’s oldest and largest indoor flower show, now happening at the Pennsylvania Convention Center until Sunday, March 10. This year’s theme is Flower Power, celebrating the contribution of flowers to our lives. Sometimes on a winter day when the sun is shining, the sky is cloudless and intensely blue and the air, with its low humidity, crisp and invigorating. For those who ski downhill or through the woods, snowshoe or ice skate or even take a walk on a country road, the scene is poetic, an artist’s dream. To come inside after such activity and be greeted with the scent of hearty soup or freshly baked chocolate chip cookies is a treat most keenly appreciated when the temperature is low. As the season turns, and we think about putting away the shovels and salt — not yet

though! — we can also cheer ourselves on a bit by conjuring up the benefits of winter. What are they, you ask? Well, no mosquitoes for one. And the ticks have disappeared. No lawn to mow, although we do sometimes have to shovel snow, so that’s probably only a trade-off at best. We can gain a few pounds and hide beneath our tunics and sweaters until the change in wardrobe forces us to acknowledge the slothful truth. There are no emergency calls to fix the air conditioner in winter. But the boiler is no angel either. It always seems to give way on the coldest nights. A dark and cold winter night can be cheered with a crackling fire, as we sit before the fireplace sipping a favorite beverage and exchanging deep thoughts with a loved one. Even the dog seems to enjoy the warmth and glow, curling up at our feet. But we are willing to cast all that away for the excitement of spring, with its birdsong, flowers and warmth. The return of light, longer with each day, is a magical salve for our moods. Just for a little while longer, dear friends, hang in there.

Health Information from Local Health Care Professionals
Tara Martinez, DO, FACOS, FACS Medical Director, Colon and Rectal Program St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center “I was drawn to medicine because I love the idea of being able to help people with my hands through surgery. It’s an honor to help others who are going through a difficult situation— to be able to cure them, give them more time or take away their pain. There’s nothing better in the world.”
What sets St. Catherine of Siena apart from other institutions? A. I think it is a combination of highly trained staff, a team approach, and specialized procedures we offer. We have vibrant, enthusiastic, surgeons and fellowship-trained specialists who have the expertise to allow patients to stay close to home and receive treatment on par with larger academic centers. What procedures does the Colon and Rectal Program offer and what issues do they address? A. We offer minimally invasive procedures using laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques, which allow for less pain, improved outcomes and favorable aesthetic results for patients. These procedures can be used to treat anything from colon and rectal cancers to diverticular disease, but our most common cases involve anorectal diseases, such as hemorrhoids and fissures, which are associated with rectal bleeding. We’ve also implemented an enhanced recovery program that helps patients get back to their everyday routines more quickly and spend less time in the hospital after surgery. If you would like more information and are interested in making an appointment, please call (631) 870-3444.
What other conditions are associated with rectal bleeding? A. Although rectal bleeding is associated with many benign findings, such as hemorrhoids, fissures, polyps, warts, and fistula’s, rectal bleeding is also associated with colon, rectal and anal cancers and should therefore be evaluated by a physician. Many people ignore these symptoms and assume it is due to “hemorrhoids”. Does St. Catherine offer evaluations and screenings? A. At St. Catherine of Siena, we perform colonoscopies as well as screening exams and imaging. These evaluations are used to detect abnormalities such as polyps, tumors, and cancer. Who would be a good candidate for colorectal cancer screening? A. While colorectal cancer screenings for the average person without a family or personal history of cancer or polyps, are typically recommended for men and women starting at age 45, we are starting to see an increased rate of colon cancer in patients. We have started screening patients at younger age and encourage patients, as well as physicians to send patients for screening earlier if they are experiencing any symptoms or have a family history. We are open and accommodating to everyone, from young adults to the elderly in need of our services.
