Salute to veterans
Students learn from re-enactors

By Dan Woulfin
Throughout Huntington Town, men and women of all ages gathered on Sunday morning to honor U.S. military veterans at the Veterans Day Ceremony in Veterans Plaza at Town Hall. William Ober, a member of the Huntington Veterans’ Advisory Board and a member of the Huntington Detachment Marine Corps League #792, chaired the ceremony, which included veterans from the U.S. Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force. This year was especially important because the presentation
of wreaths at the World War I Flagpole, led by Fred Amore, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #9263, celebrated the 240th anniversary of the Marine Corps, Army and Navy, and the 225th anniversary of the Coast Guard. Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) introduced town councilpeople and officials in attendance. He also recognized the Kiwanis Club of Huntington’s Field of Honor in front of the Town Hall, stating, “These flags are what we celebrate.” The Long Island Children’s Choir sang The Star-Spangled Banner and God Bless America.

Northport changes concussion rules By Miguel BustaMante
Northport school district is enacting stricter rules for handling student-athletes with concussions. School board members were informed of new procedures for kids returning to athletics after those injuries during their meeting on Nov. 5, using guidance from New York State regulations. Paul Klimuszko, Northport-East Northport’s director of physical education, athletics and health, and Cynthia Fitzgerald, director of student
support services, made a presentation to the board outlining the new procedures to follow if a student has a concussion. “A concussion is an injury that changes the ways the cells in our brain function,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s important to understand that a concussion is a brain injury, and can occur in any sport.” According to Fitzgerald, there are between 70 and 90 concussions in the district every year, including at the middle and high school levels.

Budget approval brings tension
Photo by Victoria Espinoza
councilmen Mark cuthbertson and Gene cook argue at a town board meeting on thursday, nov. 5. By Victoria Espinoza
The Huntington Town Council approved its $188.7 million budget on Thursday, but not without a heated discussion between Councilman Gene Cook (I) and Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) over Cook’s vote. The budget passed with a 4-1 vote, with Cook as the lone opposition. The budget included a 0.2 percent decrease in overall spending, a 1.3 percent increase in property tax levy and a $15 million capital budget, the town said in a press release. This budget will amount to a $29 in-
crease for the average homeowner. The $15 million capital budget also focused on improvements to the town’s infrastructure, such as rehabilitation of various plants and pump stations in the Dix Hills Water District and headwork improvements in the Huntington Sewer District. Funding was included for road rehabilitation, drainage infrastructure and paving. The town budgeted an additional $1.9 million for the town’s highway department, due to last year’s severe winter. That increase was offset by “little-to-no” increases in the other major town funds, and decreased spending in some of the
special districts, the town said in a press release. “This was a difficult budget to put together, given the limitations of the tax cap and increases in costs, such as health insurance,” Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) said in a statement. “But I am pleased that we were able to maintain services and programs our residents want and have come to expect.” Cook said he was not in support of the budget. “We, as taxpayers, will be given $15 million worth of bonding,” Cook said at the meeting, just before the budget was approved. “I find that horrendous. I
think there are better ways of doing this, so I will be voting no.” Cuthbertson said that this has become an annual right of passage for Cook. “I have taken to calling this ‘having your cook and eating it too,’” Cuthbertson said at the meeting. “For the fourth year in a row now, Councilman Cook has offered no advice on the budget and no budget amendment. He simply votes no.” Cook countered, asking Cuthbertson if he felt better after making that comment and Cuthbertson said he did, because he had stated his case. “Tell us what you would do instead,” BUDGET continued on page A8

Above and below, views of the inside of Peter Nettesheim’s Huntington home.
Huntington resident has vast collection of BMW motorcycles, some antiques, in museum-like house BY VICTORIA ESPINOZA
Peter Nettesheim embodies the idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Step inside his Huntington Town home and it’s nothing like it seems from the outside. Picture this: You walk through an ordinary front door, expecting a small foyer or hallway to meet you. But as your eyes adjust from the natural light, all you see are warm wood and soft lights reflecting off of dozens of different pieces of metal. No side table or closet for jackets. You become more confused before you begin to understand what you’re looking at. A second ago you were on a residential road, listening to someone’s leaf blower
start up. The next second all you hear is a model train driving by overhead and The Jackson 5 playing soft ly in the background. Nettesheim is the proud owner of more than 100 BMW vehicles. Although many are in storage, his home boasts an impressive portion of the collection. Motorcycles cover most of the floor space, along with trophies, antique gas dispensers and even a few vintage cars. Jay Leno and Billy Joel have visited Nettesheim’s home, as well as more than 100 other private visitors each year. He calls it “his little sanctuary.” Hints of Germany linger everywhere. A German greeting hangs from the ceil-
ing and a mannequin named Elka stands in traditional German clothing sporting a dirndl, which is like an apron. Nettesheim explained that according to German tradition, the cloth signifies whether a girl is single or spoken for, depending on whether it is tied with a knot to the left or right. Elka is currently single. In one corner sits the oldest BMW motorcycle to date, with a confirmation from BMW hanging above it. Across from it is a fully stocked bar, with several glass bottles of Coca-Cola personalized with Nettesheim’s name. “My wife found those for me,” Nettesheim said. This space is intimate, so it fights the feeling one gets at famous places like the Museum of Natural History. One can literally sit at the bar and have a drink while gazing at relics. In one corner stands the oldest BMW bike in history, in another, a couch sporting pillows adorned with phrases like “man cave.” Still, there are touches that make it feel like an established museum. Several motorcycles have backdrops behind them that display information about the particular model standing in front of it. Historic black-and-white photos of people riding old BMW bikes are also featured on the walls. Nettesheim said the American Motorcyclist Association asked him to curate a BMW exhibit for its Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Ohio in 2010. His backdrops are straight out of that exhibit. Nettesheim chose all of the informa-
tion and photos on the backdrops when he designed the show. He said he didn’t take any money for the curating. “I do this for fun,” he said. “This is strictly my hobby.” Nettesheim is driven about his pastime and expressed surprise that many who visited his museum didn’t share the same kind of enthusiasm for a hobby — especially the younger generation. “I never really understood that,” Nettesheim said. The bike collector said that in conversations with his visitors he was caught off guard to learn that many had no hobbies of their own. “There’s nothing that engages them, there’s nothing that they see and want to know how this works and how it’s made.” He said he worried that his own hobby, shared by mostly the older generation, would eventually die out. “Most people you meet at biker clubs are not young guys.” Despite the future of motorcycle collecting, Nettesheim remains driven by his passion. His father, a Mercedes-Benz car collector, has greatly influenced him. Nettesheim purchased his first BMW motorcycle when he was about 20 years old and fell in love with bikes ever since. “I wake up in the morning and I think about the collection,” Nettesheim said. “There’s something I want to do. Every day I want to get home and get next to the bike and take something off it or fi x a tire. It’s in me. I have a passion for it.”

New village hall ready for action Asharoken residents foot a third of bill to make better building possible By Victoria Espinoza

Asharoken’s new Village Hall has got it all, according to Mayor Greg Letica. Letica said the new structure is nearly three times larger than the old building — the ground floor is approximately 3,000 square feet. Most of that is made up of the village clerk’s office, an office for Letica, a small conference room, a kitchen and the village trustees’ meeting room. The rest of the first floor and the second floor are spaces for the police department, including an office, an interview room, a locker room and storage. Letica said the police department had about 120 square feet inside the old Village Hall, so its wish list was a bit bigger for the new building. “There was no interview room, no office; there was no nothing,” Letica said. Both the police department and the village clerk’s office moved into the new building about a month ago. According to the mayor, this new Village Hall would not be possible if it weren’t for the involvement of village residents. The budget for the entire building was roughly $950,000 and residents opened their wallets to help. “What’s great about this project is how we funded it,” he said. “To date, we have approximately $360,000 worth of resident donations.” Residents have been donating money for nine years, ever since the idea to renovate the old village hall was brought up by Trustee Mel Ettinger. In October alone, Letica said, they received $13,000 in resident donations. “We have roughly 300 families in the village and about 200 donated,” Ettinger said. “It’s incredible. And some of them gave tens of thousands and some gave $50. It was a conglomeration and obviously the overwhelming majority of people wanted to donate.” Asharoken was also able to capitalize on money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and multiple grants to help fund the construction of the new building, because the old one took a beating during Hurricane Sandy. Letica said they received $530,000 from FEMA and about $80,000 in grants. “After Sandy, it became more apparent that we had to do something,” Letica said. “And maintaining the old building made no sense anymore.” The new village trustee meeting room will soon have a donor board, where the names of people who have donated will be showcased on the wall. “This is a really neat accomplishment by the village residents,” Letica said. “It’s something I think very few communities on Long Island could rally to do. I think it says a lot about Asharoken as a community.” The new Village Hall is also much more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than the old establishment. The building uses spray foam insulation, an alternative to traditional insulation, and LED lighting, which produces more light per watt than incandescent light bulbs. Both of those products lower utility bills and save on energy costs. “We expect this building to be very economical energywise,” Letica said.

History comes alive at Northport school By Alex Petroski
The Revolutionary War leapt from the textbooks and onto the fields of Northport Middle School during an afternoon performance on Monday. The school’s seventh-graders were treated to a day of fresh air and visual demonstrations by Boots and Saddles Productions, a Freeport-based group that specializes in “living history.” Principal Tim Hoss said about 250 students attended the “in-house field trip.” “What better way to learn then being immersed in it?” Hoss said. The students were split into groups and spent time at the five different stations set up by re-enactors. Gen. George Washington, rebels and British soldiers greeted the students with tales of betrayal to the throne and last ditch pleas to join the Redcoats. A female re-enactor taught kids about the role of women during the Revolution. The students had the opportunity to ask questions of the re-enactors, pass around props and hear deafening blasts from prop guns.
“They’re actually interacting with us and they’re showing us, not just reading out of a textbook, so we get to hear from them how it was,” Griffin Crafa said. “Now I can actually see it. I heard it, so it’s in my mind, whereas in the textbook you have to just copy notes down and … it doesn’t really stay in your mind.” Meghan Sheridan said she had fun and Cami Tyrer, referencing the loud musket shots that echoed across the Northport Middle School playing fields, said, “It was a blast, and we learned so much.” Social studies teacher Barbara Falcone, who organized the event for the second consecutive year, was happy with how the day turned out. “This is what real learning should be like,” Falcone said. “They’re getting out from behind those dusty computer screens. They’re being outside and they’re seeing from all of these people what real life was like during that period.” Falcone said the students will remember this event for many years. Re-enactor Joe Bilardello expressed a similar sentiment: “Out here, it’s like we jumped from the history books.”

concussions Continued from page A2
The two administrators laid out the “return to play” regulations, which are used across the country and require students to complete a five-stage observational test before full re-entry into school-sponsored physical activities. The five stages include light to moderate aerobic exercises observed by the school nurse and/or an athletic trainer; a noncontact gym class participation period; and a full-contact gym class participation period. A school district physician must clear the concussed student before he or she can be fully reintegrated into school athletics. Concussions have been a hot topic over the last few years, but particularly since Tom Cutinella, a football player
from Shoreham-Wading River, died after taking a big hit in a game against John Glenn High School in Elwood last year. School districts across Long Island have been making changes to their concussion responses following Cutinella’s death, and there have been new directions from the state on the matter. New York State’s Concussion Management and Awareness Act of 2011 requires local school boards to develop and promote concussion management policies. According to the act, children and adolescents are more susceptible to concussions and take longer than adults to fully recover. Northport school officials don’t take concussions lightly, Klimuszko said. “The athletic office ensures that all coaches are educated in the nature and risk of concussions and concussion-related injuries.”
budget Continued from page A3
Cuthbertson said. Cook, who just finished months of campaigning for a successful re-election bid, has said at many events that he feels there is a lot of mismanagement and misappropriation of funds within the town budget. He said he wants to see more consolidation to save taxpayer dollars. “I want to start each department with a $0 budget, and have them tell us why they need money,” Cook said. “We need to have the directors of these departments be more responsible.” Cuthbertson questioned if that was possible.
“I don’t see the building department starting off with a $0 budget,” he said. According to Cuthbertson, budgets start with requests from departmental heads. “We scrutinize those requests very carefully,” Cuthbertson said in a phone interview on Friday. “But at the end of the day, we have to deliver services.” Cuthbertson said that every councilmember has an obligation to offer amendments if they disagree with the budget. “But he never does that; he never offers suggestions,” he said of Cook. At the meeting, Cook suggested that he might present his own budget next year. “It’s about time,” Cook said. “But the problem is, nobody listens to me.”

Teacher tackles drugs, veterans’ issues BY VICTORIA ESPINOZA
Since returning home from serving overseas, a homegrown Northport High School teacher has devoted his free time to inspiring students, zeroing in on two specific issues. Darryl St. George, a Centerport resident and United States Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan, is the co-advisor of the Northport High School branch of Students Against Destructive Decisions and the advisor of Project Vets, a club that works to improve the lives of veterans once they return home. “I love working with young people,” St. George said. “I find what I do in these clubs an extension of what I do in the classroom.” St. George graduated from Northport High School in 2000 and earned his teaching degree from Marymount Manhattan College. He was in Manhattan when the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 occurred, and said the day instilled a passion in him to help his country. “I had this sense that I really wanted to serve,” St. George said. Personal reasons
held him back until 2009, when he enlisted in the United States Navy. His first deployment to Afghanistan was in 2011. When he came home nine months later, he said he discovered that one of his former students from Northport High School had died of a heroin overdose, and his own brother Corey had started abusing opioid drugs. A few months later, he lost his brother to an overdose from prescription medication, which “changed everything.” St. George was honorably discharged from the navy after three years and returned to his job at Northport High School, where he became a co-advisor of SADD with Tammy Walsh, another Northport High School teacher. “One of my colleagues asked me to run the club with her, and together, the club really expanded from three kids at a meeting to more than 50.” St. George said he was able to get the club to take a more active role in Recovery, Awareness and Prevention Week. “We felt that the drug epidemic was such a crisis that this club would be the perfect

vehicle to help combat the issue,” St. George said. “Tammy and I are open and candid with the kids about our own history with this problem, and I think the kids are receptive to that kind of honesty.” St. George said he finds working with SADD very fulfilling, and sees it as necessary. “Ultimately, my drive for getting involved is to do everything I can so that no family has to go through what my family did,” St. George said. St. George and Walsh have been working on a SADD Summit, which they hope will help bring RAP Week-like programs to other schools on Long Island. He wants to change the culture in every school.

Aside from working with SADD, St. George is involved in another club in Northport High School called Project Vets. He said this club has a two-pronged mission statement — to work with veterans and help them with the transition period once they come home. “I am a vet, and I personally know many of my friends that have had difficulty transitioning back home,” St. George said. “But they are not looking for any handouts. This club explores how we can improve their transition period.” Project Vets is only in its second year, and St. George said at the first meeting there was more than 60 students wanting to join.

interactive demonstrations and a lecture led by the U.S. LifeSaving Service, students experienced the history and authentic artifacts that represent the early U.S. Coast Guard. While at the historic landmark, students explored the natural environment and learned the importance of preserving the fragile area surrounding the lighthouse.
A mass casualty incident drill was conducted at the National Grid Northport Power Station property on Sunday, Oct. 25. The drill simulated a plane crash with 30 passengers aboard and a resulting mass casualty incident, with victims on the power plant property and in the water. Two school buses were utilized as the plane fuselage, with some of the passengers still trapped within the wreckage. Junior firefighters and EMS volunteers were scattered in and around the wreckage and were outfitted with simulated injuries.
Firefighters used heavy rescue tools to extricate the passengers from the wreck, as emergency medical crews triaged and treated the patients. Several floating mannequins were also placed in the water for search and rescue operations by rescue boats. Fire departments and ambulance squads from the Northport, East Northport, Centerport, Greenlawn, Eaton’s Neck, Kings Park and Hicksville fire departments and the Huntington Community First Aid Squad participated in the drill. Other agencies that took part in the
training exercise were the U.S. Coast Guard, Suffolk County Police, Northport Village Police, Huntington Harbormaster, Suffolk County Fire Rescue and National Grid personnel. More than 100 firefighters, emergency medical and first response personnel were involved with the drill, using about 20 emergency vehicles and five rescue boats. The drill was held under the command of Northport Fire Chief Joe Pansini and First Assistant Chief Brad Wine, who coordinated the drill, and Second Assistant Chief John Jacobsen.
Finance students showcase their summer internships at Northport

Participants at the Academy of Finance Employer Recognition event at Northport High School on Nov. 5.
The annual Academy of Finance Employer Recognition event was held at Northport High School on Thursday, Nov. 5. More than 70 students attending the Northport High School Academy of Finance manned trade show exhibits highlighting their summer internship projects. The guests, made up of local business executives from companies including KPMG, Winthrop University Hospital, State Farm, Signature Bank, Ameriprise Financial and Cardinal
Health had the opportunity to interact with the students and see their projects. The event allowed students to learn the art of networking with business partners in attendance and to engage in conversations explaining their internship projects. “Students loved the idea of a trade show and having exhibits as it provided them a contextual opportunity to showcase their experiences,” Allison Schwabish, director of the academy of finance program said.

Louie hasn’t had an easy time for the first two years of his life. He was left outside, tied up in the backyard for his first year. Then he was given a home by a family who had children and another dog. Life was good until they fell on hard times and had to give him up. Adopt Louie and it could be “the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”

OPINION EDITORIAL
Health care is a gift
Simple but necessary medical procedures we receive in the United States are often something we take for granted, but they are miracles to many people around the globe. Take, for instance, the case of 4-yearold Uerda Zena, a girl born in Kosovo with a heart defect. rotary volunteers across Suffolk County and the North Shore recently brought her to this country through their Gift of Life program so she could receive a lifesaving heart operation. Uerda had a hole in her heart the size of a nickel, but the procedure to repair it was not available in her home country because the hospitals there do not have the resources to train their staff. Uerda’s case is not an isolated one. Young children from developing and disadvantaged nations around the world, including in eastern europe, much of Africa and South America, do not have access in their home countries to medicine and surgical procedures they desperately need. Several global organizations have made it their mission to provide proce-

dures like the one performed on Uerda, but Americans tend to forget that those organizations are necessary at all. if an American child is born with a cleft lip or a detectable heart defect, it is fixed as
soon as possible and without the child needing to trek hundreds of miles — or thousands, in the case of Uerda. We should be grateful for all the lifesaving procedures we have at our
fingertips. And maybe instead of spending some of our money on a discounted plasma screen television on Black Friday, we should donate to causes like Gift of Life.
Shills should get nil

husbands. We were duped. i am making a formal complaint to the NYS Board of elections Campaign Fraud division. With any luck, an investigation will ensue and hopefully the lawsuit-happy Berlands will be held accountable. Charles Marino east Northport
To The ediTor: election day is over and the results are in. The huntington Town Council remains the same and frankly, town hall will remain the same too. it’s a sad day for huntington. Ms. Berland squeaked by Keith Barrett and Jennifer Thompson because voters were not aware that they were manipulated. here’s the truth: The Conservative candidate was a highly paid shill who works for town hall, appointed by the town board, including Ms. Berland. he didn’t run even a shell of a campaign. But his presence on the ballot, orchestrated by Ms. Berland and her lawyer husband, prevented both Keith and Jennifer from getting the line and another 2,000 votes. Those votes would have clearly awarded either Thompson or Barrett the second council seat. it’s basic math and the Berlands counted on the public not doing their homework.
shill (shĭl) Slang
n. one who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle or one who attempts to spread by buzz endorsing a product in a public forum with the pretense of sincerity, when in fact he is being paid for his services.
The election is over, but we don’t need to fall victim to the shenanigans again next year. Pay attention. We have the right to nominate and vote for whomever we wish. There is a process and i encourage everyone to learn about it. it’s a process that is easily manipulated to benefit the connected candidates, especially those who have election law

What a dog’s life: food, family and fights
D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
N
ow that the pumpkins are disappearing, I can get ready for the best holiday ever. It’s only about 14 weeks before everyone comes for Thanksgiving. Confused? I’m the dog and you have to multiply any time unit by seven. Keep that in mind when it
looks like I need to relieve myself. That “one more minute and I’ll take you out” line becomes especially painful when your 10 minutes is more than an hour of leaning against the wall, desperately trying not to be a “bad doggie” by relieving on the carpet. What do I love about Thanksgiving? Let’s start with the food. There’s always someone — a vegetarian, a vegan or a messy kid — who wants to remove turkey from their plate without offending the host. With the guests coming into an unfamiliar kitchen, I get plenty of scraps that don’t make it into the garbage. When these people turn their heads quickly to look at a touchdown, they miss the garbage can with the food they’re shoveling off their plate. Once in a while, I push the garbage can an inch or two to the left or right when no one is looking.
The weather is perfect for me. I walk around all summer wearing this heavy coat with my tongue hanging down by the f loor, and waiting for the leaves to change. I can’t wait to get outside and roll around on the ground, scratching my back and breathing in the cool air. Besides the food, my favorite times are when there’s a big fight. I know these people don’t come together to argue, but they can’t help it. They’ve got old wounds, they don’t get along all the time and their kids have huge differences. People go from barking at each other, to walking away, to barking and stomping, to whimpering. I can relate to all of that. It doesn’t happen every year, especially now that everyone holds their electronics and ignores people in the room. Still, there’s the potential for howling. Now, while I wouldn’t
suggest arguing, it can and does have its benefits for me. Every time someone gets upset enough, he or she grabs the leash and takes me for an incredibly long walk. That’s when they talk to me while I’m out there doing my usual sniffing for signs of other dogs on my pathway. This one time I was sure I smelled a mixture of a Great Dane and a greyhound. That must have been one huge dog. I’ve had dreams about meeting that dog and challenging him to a race. I know I’m just a mutt, but I get big ideas and maybe the holidays will bring more than another bone and a pat on the head this year. Anyway, people sometimes get on their knees and pet me while they look deep into my eyes. I look back at them and see why humans and dogs first became friends. Their eyes look so doglike sometimes, it’s in-
Maybe the holidays will bring more than another bone this year. credible. And the cool thing is, if the light is right, I can see a small dog in the black part of their eyes. I keep wondering when I’ll meet that dog or if, maybe, deep down inside those eyes there’s a dog waiting to come out. Bottom line? Don’t ask too much of me now. I’m saving my appetite for the big weekend and for all the exercise and heart-to-heart talks. Woof!

A friend calls our attention to the inevitable
between you and me by leah S. DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
A
dear friend is moving away, and that is sending all sorts of shock waves into my life. For one, she is going a long distance, and while her friends are promising to visit her after she is settled in her new home, we all know that’s not the same as being able to pick up the phone and set a time to get together later that day. Also lurking in the back of our minds is awareness that she
will be out of reach should we need the vital help of a friend. While we are happy for her in her choice of a next chapter in life, we are selfish in viewing sadly our imminent loss of her regular companionship. We have known each other, she and I, for almost 40 years. We met through the newspaper, as I have met so many wonderful people, and over time our friendship developed. We share a lot of the same interests: zipping into the city with tickets to the theater and enjoying a good dinner and glass of wine before or after the performance; lustily cheering on the Yankees in their stadium; wandering through museums to chuckle over the same funny exhibits; being in awe of James Levine as he conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood in Massachusetts; comparing notes after a fabulous concert by the Emersons at the Staller; playing competitive tennis singles in the good old days; and talking over prob-
lems with our children as they were growing up. The idea that she will not be easily available to share those activities makes me morose. I am at the age where friends are, for one reason or another, leaving. While I lost my husband 28 years ago, I have always regarded that as an anomaly. Who expects one’s spouse to die at 50? But now we face a fearsome trend: Two close friends have died in the recent past, as have three first cousins; now one more friend is joining the parade of those moving away. She is, of course, entitled to her own life. And while it is hard to forgive her for leaving, all her many friends and I understand why she is moving. She has gone through the many-tiered ordeals of picking up roots and going elsewhere: getting her house ready and then putting it up for sale; researching movers and hiring one; sorting through her accumulated stuff of half a century and countless souvenirs

dragged back from many trips in the world; taking care not to leave behind dental and medical records; shutting phone service and arranging to have mail forwarded — and heaven knows what else. Then there is what I would imagine to be the hardest part of all: saying goodbye to longtime and maybe not-so-longtime friends. As she ages, our friend doesn’t want to be a burden on anyone. This is one noble aspect of her character, and she believes she has found a solution to that perennial dilemma of every generation. Our times have provided facilities to meet the needs of the aging with assisted living, where an individual’s physical and mental requirements are met, even as they change with the years. And she is moving to a place where she will have her children nearby to oversee those needs but without having to be the primary caregivers. It sounds like a good deal. LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz ADVERTISING DIRECTOR
As she ages, she doesn’t want to be a burden on anyone. Which drives the question home to the rest of us: How will we best cope with the inevitable infirmities of aging if we are lucky enough to live so long? Reality is tough. Dealing with it is even tougher. My friend has implemented what she believes will be the least burdensome, most efficient solution for herself and her family. In so doing, she has underscored yet again her totally unselfish nature. Not all of us are of such exalted character. We cling to our comfortable possessions and the familiar structure of our lives as if we could forestall change. But of course we cannot, and so each of us has eventually to come to terms with the endgame of our lives.

Blue Devils fall to North Babylon in playoffs Football
North Babylon . . . . . 36 Huntington . . . . . . . . . 7 Huntington’s football team never really got started last Saturday at North Babylon. The Blue Devils struggled throughout the Suffolk Division II quarterfinal round game, ultimately falling to the Bulldogs 36-7 before a crowd of 750. Huntington’s vaunted ground game was ineffective for most of the contest. The Blue Devils were able to move the ball through their air attack, but were unable to mount sustained drives. North Babylon (7-2) put the first points on the scoreboard on a 10-yard touchdown pass and later extended its lead to 14-0 before Huntington responded with a 36-yard touchdown from Blue Devils quarterback Will Wright to Jared Leake to cut the deficit to 14-7. The Bulldogs scored again before

halftime to extend their advantage to 22-7. The teams battled through a scoreless third quarter before North Babylon found the end zone two more times in the final frame. “North Babylon is a well-coached team and they executed their game plan successfully,” Huntington head coach Steve Muller said. “They did what they had to do in order to win the game.” Huntington (5-4) enjoyed a handful of big plays, but was never able to capitalize on any of them and gain any momentum. After their only touchdown of the game, the Blue Devils recovered a North Babylon fumble on the ensuing kickoff, but the team’s drive fell flat. Play was stopped in the fourth quarter after some on-field fisticuffs, but when order was restored, both teams played hard until the final whistle. The loss ended Huntington’s season. North Babylon will now advance to the county semi-finals, where the team will play No. 1 Newfield.
