Five Reasons ToSupport
Elwood Orchard
DEAR EDITORIrsquom a homeowner down the
street from the proposed El-wood Orchard project Irsquom aparent of four children in El-wood schools am actively in-volved in our district educatedon our financial situation andin full support of this project1 That land will be devel-
oped The owner has shownhis desire to develop and thetown has shown their willing-ness to support zoningchanges If itrsquos going to be de-veloped I want to make sureitrsquos developed in the way thatwill be best for our communi-ty The previous proposal forhundreds of apartments wouldput a huge drain on our school
district and hurt our propertyvalues The other option Irsquoveheard people supporting is 1-acre homes The 1-acre homesat the end of my block pay$27000 annually in propertytaxes A house assessed at$4100 in Elwood pays ap-proximately $2000 more an-nually than our neighboringdistrict Half Hollow Hills Icannot think of a single personwho would purchase a 1-acrehome on Jericho Turnpike andpay higher property taxes tolive in a school district that islabeled in ldquofiscal distressrdquo2 Traffic and the number of
accidents at that location onJericho Turnpike have alsobeen questioned Theyrsquore validconcerns but that stretch fromManor Road to Warner Roadhas a speed limit of 40 mph Iwould say the usual speed is60-65 mph That is why there
are so many accidents Theproposed traffic light patternwill help the flow of traffic andwill create a system where ifpeople drive the speed limitthey will hit all green lightsThe developer paid for a trafficconsultant and offered to payfor a second traffic consultantchosen by the community Partof his approval will requirehim to pay for a third consult-ant through the town3 Elwood needs corporate
tax revenueWe are one of on-ly two districts on Long Islandto have failed budget votesThis community is alreadyovertaxed compared to neigh-boring districts due to the lackof commercial tax base Wehave been deficit spending foryears and are continuing thatin our current budget Themoney will run out at somepoint Our district has already
met with surrounding districtsin the past to explore consoli-dation No one was interestedThe information that the de-veloper has been approved for$188 million in tax breaks isfalse He would pay 100 per-cent of the taxes While it istrue that the around $3 millionin taxes will not go to the dis-trict to increase our spendingit will go towards our tax levyWe have a current tax levy ofabout $60 million dollars Iftheir $3 million goes into thatpot it reduces the burden oneveryone else to $57 millionwhich will result in a small de-crease in taxes or at the veryleast a decreased increase intaxes Tentative figures arearound $680 per household4 This developer has attend-
ed meetings and changed hisplans due to community feed-back I met with him this weekto ask questions and he satwith me for two hours He iswilling to provide communitybenefits based on our needsand wants He has spoken withthe Elwood Library severaltimes about providing a spaceon the property or helping to-wards a new building Hislandscape team is among thetop on Long Island His tenantsare long-term lease tenants5 The developer is focused
on synergy within his propertyand with surrounding proper-ties The PathMark shoppingcenter across the street is not indisrepair because of him El-wood Orchard is not even ap-proved If community mem-bers have an issue with thatshopping center they shouldaddress those with the townand the owner I live down the
street from there and wouldavoid PathMark in favor ofother grocery stores because itwas in such horrible conditionBuilding this property and im-proving our current strip mallsare not mutually exclusiveThis property will not competewith a hobby shop nail salonor a local pizza place Thatrsquosnot whatrsquos proposed at allElwood is in a bad place fi-
nancially We cannot continuedown this same road for longOver the next three years itwill be virtually impossible topierce the tax cap and resi-dents cannot afford these in-creases If we cannot increaserevenue we need to increase itelsewhere or drastically cutcosts Drastic cuts will resultin a diminished educationalexperience for children andlower property values I sendmy kids to public school andwant to continue that I want toensure that Elwood not onlyexists but adds programs forour students further raisingour reputation and increasingour property values while re-ducing the burden to taxpayersso young families can afford tomove here and older residentscan afford to stay hereI believe this is the best op-
tion for us as a communityHEATHER ROSS
Elwood
OpinionlsquoNot the types set up by the printer return their impression the meaning the main concernrsquo
Is it possible state officials failed to dotheir homework before announcing fundingto locate an outreach center for recoveringaddicts at a Huntington Station churchDays after a June 29 announcement by the
New York State Office of Alcoholism andSubstance Abuse Services of a $15 milliongrant to nonprofit Family amp Childrenrsquos As-sociation to create a recovery and outreachcenter at St Peterrsquos Church inHuntington Station church of-ficials announced they werewithdrawing their offer to host the centerA statement provided by the church lead-
ership did little to clarify the reasons forwithdrawing from an already approved con-tract other than to say ldquothat partnering inthis effort would not be a good fit for thiscongregationrdquo But whatever the reason wequestion the wisdom of choosing the loca-tion in the first placeThe church campus is located in the mid-
dle of a residential neighborhood a gooddistance from a major thoroughfare It wasnot to be an in-patient facility but rather aplace where recovering addicts in treatmentprograms could be sent for support servicesFor that it sounds like a location more ac-cessible by public transportation would bebetter suitedThe legislation that provided funding for
the center was part of a packageonly recently approved by thestate legislature It was a vital ini-
tiative put in place to respond to a growingcrisis of addiction to opioids in particularstreet heroin Suffolk led the state in heroin-related deaths in 2014The initiative is a laudable startThe churchrsquos sudden withdrawal from the
plan was a disturbing false startIt leaves us wondering if government offi-
cials and politicians were perhaps overly ea-ger to be seen taking action

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

Five Reasons ToSupport
Elwood Orchard
DEAR EDITORIrsquom a homeowner down the
street from the proposed El-wood Orchard project Irsquom aparent of four children in El-wood schools am actively in-volved in our district educatedon our financial situation andin full support of this project1 That land will be devel-
oped The owner has shownhis desire to develop and thetown has shown their willing-ness to support zoningchanges If itrsquos going to be de-veloped I want to make sureitrsquos developed in the way thatwill be best for our communi-ty The previous proposal forhundreds of apartments wouldput a huge drain on our school
district and hurt our propertyvalues The other option Irsquoveheard people supporting is 1-acre homes The 1-acre homesat the end of my block pay$27000 annually in propertytaxes A house assessed at$4100 in Elwood pays ap-proximately $2000 more an-nually than our neighboringdistrict Half Hollow Hills Icannot think of a single personwho would purchase a 1-acrehome on Jericho Turnpike andpay higher property taxes tolive in a school district that islabeled in ldquofiscal distressrdquo2 Traffic and the number of
accidents at that location onJericho Turnpike have alsobeen questioned Theyrsquore validconcerns but that stretch fromManor Road to Warner Roadhas a speed limit of 40 mph Iwould say the usual speed is60-65 mph That is why there
are so many accidents Theproposed traffic light patternwill help the flow of traffic andwill create a system where ifpeople drive the speed limitthey will hit all green lightsThe developer paid for a trafficconsultant and offered to payfor a second traffic consultantchosen by the community Partof his approval will requirehim to pay for a third consult-ant through the town3 Elwood needs corporate
tax revenueWe are one of on-ly two districts on Long Islandto have failed budget votesThis community is alreadyovertaxed compared to neigh-boring districts due to the lackof commercial tax base Wehave been deficit spending foryears and are continuing thatin our current budget Themoney will run out at somepoint Our district has already
met with surrounding districtsin the past to explore consoli-dation No one was interestedThe information that the de-veloper has been approved for$188 million in tax breaks isfalse He would pay 100 per-cent of the taxes While it istrue that the around $3 millionin taxes will not go to the dis-trict to increase our spendingit will go towards our tax levyWe have a current tax levy ofabout $60 million dollars Iftheir $3 million goes into thatpot it reduces the burden oneveryone else to $57 millionwhich will result in a small de-crease in taxes or at the veryleast a decreased increase intaxes Tentative figures arearound $680 per household4 This developer has attend-
ed meetings and changed hisplans due to community feed-back I met with him this weekto ask questions and he satwith me for two hours He iswilling to provide communitybenefits based on our needsand wants He has spoken withthe Elwood Library severaltimes about providing a spaceon the property or helping to-wards a new building Hislandscape team is among thetop on Long Island His tenantsare long-term lease tenants5 The developer is focused
on synergy within his propertyand with surrounding proper-ties The PathMark shoppingcenter across the street is not indisrepair because of him El-wood Orchard is not even ap-proved If community mem-bers have an issue with thatshopping center they shouldaddress those with the townand the owner I live down the
street from there and wouldavoid PathMark in favor ofother grocery stores because itwas in such horrible conditionBuilding this property and im-proving our current strip mallsare not mutually exclusiveThis property will not competewith a hobby shop nail salonor a local pizza place Thatrsquosnot whatrsquos proposed at allElwood is in a bad place fi-
nancially We cannot continuedown this same road for longOver the next three years itwill be virtually impossible topierce the tax cap and resi-dents cannot afford these in-creases If we cannot increaserevenue we need to increase itelsewhere or drastically cutcosts Drastic cuts will resultin a diminished educationalexperience for children andlower property values I sendmy kids to public school andwant to continue that I want toensure that Elwood not onlyexists but adds programs forour students further raisingour reputation and increasingour property values while re-ducing the burden to taxpayersso young families can afford tomove here and older residentscan afford to stay hereI believe this is the best op-
tion for us as a communityHEATHER ROSS
Elwood
OpinionlsquoNot the types set up by the printer return their impression the meaning the main concernrsquo
Is it possible state officials failed to dotheir homework before announcing fundingto locate an outreach center for recoveringaddicts at a Huntington Station churchDays after a June 29 announcement by the
New York State Office of Alcoholism andSubstance Abuse Services of a $15 milliongrant to nonprofit Family amp Childrenrsquos As-sociation to create a recovery and outreachcenter at St Peterrsquos Church inHuntington Station church of-ficials announced they werewithdrawing their offer to host the centerA statement provided by the church lead-
ership did little to clarify the reasons forwithdrawing from an already approved con-tract other than to say ldquothat partnering inthis effort would not be a good fit for thiscongregationrdquo But whatever the reason wequestion the wisdom of choosing the loca-tion in the first placeThe church campus is located in the mid-
dle of a residential neighborhood a gooddistance from a major thoroughfare It wasnot to be an in-patient facility but rather aplace where recovering addicts in treatmentprograms could be sent for support servicesFor that it sounds like a location more ac-cessible by public transportation would bebetter suitedThe legislation that provided funding for
the center was part of a packageonly recently approved by thestate legislature It was a vital ini-
tiative put in place to respond to a growingcrisis of addiction to opioids in particularstreet heroin Suffolk led the state in heroin-related deaths in 2014The initiative is a laudable startThe churchrsquos sudden withdrawal from the
plan was a disturbing false startIt leaves us wondering if government offi-
cials and politicians were perhaps overly ea-ger to be seen taking action

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

Five Reasons ToSupport
Elwood Orchard
DEAR EDITORIrsquom a homeowner down the
street from the proposed El-wood Orchard project Irsquom aparent of four children in El-wood schools am actively in-volved in our district educatedon our financial situation andin full support of this project1 That land will be devel-
oped The owner has shownhis desire to develop and thetown has shown their willing-ness to support zoningchanges If itrsquos going to be de-veloped I want to make sureitrsquos developed in the way thatwill be best for our communi-ty The previous proposal forhundreds of apartments wouldput a huge drain on our school
district and hurt our propertyvalues The other option Irsquoveheard people supporting is 1-acre homes The 1-acre homesat the end of my block pay$27000 annually in propertytaxes A house assessed at$4100 in Elwood pays ap-proximately $2000 more an-nually than our neighboringdistrict Half Hollow Hills Icannot think of a single personwho would purchase a 1-acrehome on Jericho Turnpike andpay higher property taxes tolive in a school district that islabeled in ldquofiscal distressrdquo2 Traffic and the number of
accidents at that location onJericho Turnpike have alsobeen questioned Theyrsquore validconcerns but that stretch fromManor Road to Warner Roadhas a speed limit of 40 mph Iwould say the usual speed is60-65 mph That is why there
are so many accidents Theproposed traffic light patternwill help the flow of traffic andwill create a system where ifpeople drive the speed limitthey will hit all green lightsThe developer paid for a trafficconsultant and offered to payfor a second traffic consultantchosen by the community Partof his approval will requirehim to pay for a third consult-ant through the town3 Elwood needs corporate
tax revenueWe are one of on-ly two districts on Long Islandto have failed budget votesThis community is alreadyovertaxed compared to neigh-boring districts due to the lackof commercial tax base Wehave been deficit spending foryears and are continuing thatin our current budget Themoney will run out at somepoint Our district has already
met with surrounding districtsin the past to explore consoli-dation No one was interestedThe information that the de-veloper has been approved for$188 million in tax breaks isfalse He would pay 100 per-cent of the taxes While it istrue that the around $3 millionin taxes will not go to the dis-trict to increase our spendingit will go towards our tax levyWe have a current tax levy ofabout $60 million dollars Iftheir $3 million goes into thatpot it reduces the burden oneveryone else to $57 millionwhich will result in a small de-crease in taxes or at the veryleast a decreased increase intaxes Tentative figures arearound $680 per household4 This developer has attend-
ed meetings and changed hisplans due to community feed-back I met with him this weekto ask questions and he satwith me for two hours He iswilling to provide communitybenefits based on our needsand wants He has spoken withthe Elwood Library severaltimes about providing a spaceon the property or helping to-wards a new building Hislandscape team is among thetop on Long Island His tenantsare long-term lease tenants5 The developer is focused
on synergy within his propertyand with surrounding proper-ties The PathMark shoppingcenter across the street is not indisrepair because of him El-wood Orchard is not even ap-proved If community mem-bers have an issue with thatshopping center they shouldaddress those with the townand the owner I live down the
street from there and wouldavoid PathMark in favor ofother grocery stores because itwas in such horrible conditionBuilding this property and im-proving our current strip mallsare not mutually exclusiveThis property will not competewith a hobby shop nail salonor a local pizza place Thatrsquosnot whatrsquos proposed at allElwood is in a bad place fi-
nancially We cannot continuedown this same road for longOver the next three years itwill be virtually impossible topierce the tax cap and resi-dents cannot afford these in-creases If we cannot increaserevenue we need to increase itelsewhere or drastically cutcosts Drastic cuts will resultin a diminished educationalexperience for children andlower property values I sendmy kids to public school andwant to continue that I want toensure that Elwood not onlyexists but adds programs forour students further raisingour reputation and increasingour property values while re-ducing the burden to taxpayersso young families can afford tomove here and older residentscan afford to stay hereI believe this is the best op-
tion for us as a communityHEATHER ROSS
Elwood
OpinionlsquoNot the types set up by the printer return their impression the meaning the main concernrsquo
Is it possible state officials failed to dotheir homework before announcing fundingto locate an outreach center for recoveringaddicts at a Huntington Station churchDays after a June 29 announcement by the
New York State Office of Alcoholism andSubstance Abuse Services of a $15 milliongrant to nonprofit Family amp Childrenrsquos As-sociation to create a recovery and outreachcenter at St Peterrsquos Church inHuntington Station church of-ficials announced they werewithdrawing their offer to host the centerA statement provided by the church lead-
ership did little to clarify the reasons forwithdrawing from an already approved con-tract other than to say ldquothat partnering inthis effort would not be a good fit for thiscongregationrdquo But whatever the reason wequestion the wisdom of choosing the loca-tion in the first placeThe church campus is located in the mid-
dle of a residential neighborhood a gooddistance from a major thoroughfare It wasnot to be an in-patient facility but rather aplace where recovering addicts in treatmentprograms could be sent for support servicesFor that it sounds like a location more ac-cessible by public transportation would bebetter suitedThe legislation that provided funding for
the center was part of a packageonly recently approved by thestate legislature It was a vital ini-
tiative put in place to respond to a growingcrisis of addiction to opioids in particularstreet heroin Suffolk led the state in heroin-related deaths in 2014The initiative is a laudable startThe churchrsquos sudden withdrawal from the
plan was a disturbing false startIt leaves us wondering if government offi-
cials and politicians were perhaps overly ea-ger to be seen taking action

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

Five Reasons ToSupport
Elwood Orchard
DEAR EDITORIrsquom a homeowner down the
street from the proposed El-wood Orchard project Irsquom aparent of four children in El-wood schools am actively in-volved in our district educatedon our financial situation andin full support of this project1 That land will be devel-
oped The owner has shownhis desire to develop and thetown has shown their willing-ness to support zoningchanges If itrsquos going to be de-veloped I want to make sureitrsquos developed in the way thatwill be best for our communi-ty The previous proposal forhundreds of apartments wouldput a huge drain on our school
district and hurt our propertyvalues The other option Irsquoveheard people supporting is 1-acre homes The 1-acre homesat the end of my block pay$27000 annually in propertytaxes A house assessed at$4100 in Elwood pays ap-proximately $2000 more an-nually than our neighboringdistrict Half Hollow Hills Icannot think of a single personwho would purchase a 1-acrehome on Jericho Turnpike andpay higher property taxes tolive in a school district that islabeled in ldquofiscal distressrdquo2 Traffic and the number of
accidents at that location onJericho Turnpike have alsobeen questioned Theyrsquore validconcerns but that stretch fromManor Road to Warner Roadhas a speed limit of 40 mph Iwould say the usual speed is60-65 mph That is why there
are so many accidents Theproposed traffic light patternwill help the flow of traffic andwill create a system where ifpeople drive the speed limitthey will hit all green lightsThe developer paid for a trafficconsultant and offered to payfor a second traffic consultantchosen by the community Partof his approval will requirehim to pay for a third consult-ant through the town3 Elwood needs corporate
tax revenueWe are one of on-ly two districts on Long Islandto have failed budget votesThis community is alreadyovertaxed compared to neigh-boring districts due to the lackof commercial tax base Wehave been deficit spending foryears and are continuing thatin our current budget Themoney will run out at somepoint Our district has already
met with surrounding districtsin the past to explore consoli-dation No one was interestedThe information that the de-veloper has been approved for$188 million in tax breaks isfalse He would pay 100 per-cent of the taxes While it istrue that the around $3 millionin taxes will not go to the dis-trict to increase our spendingit will go towards our tax levyWe have a current tax levy ofabout $60 million dollars Iftheir $3 million goes into thatpot it reduces the burden oneveryone else to $57 millionwhich will result in a small de-crease in taxes or at the veryleast a decreased increase intaxes Tentative figures arearound $680 per household4 This developer has attend-
ed meetings and changed hisplans due to community feed-back I met with him this weekto ask questions and he satwith me for two hours He iswilling to provide communitybenefits based on our needsand wants He has spoken withthe Elwood Library severaltimes about providing a spaceon the property or helping to-wards a new building Hislandscape team is among thetop on Long Island His tenantsare long-term lease tenants5 The developer is focused
on synergy within his propertyand with surrounding proper-ties The PathMark shoppingcenter across the street is not indisrepair because of him El-wood Orchard is not even ap-proved If community mem-bers have an issue with thatshopping center they shouldaddress those with the townand the owner I live down the
street from there and wouldavoid PathMark in favor ofother grocery stores because itwas in such horrible conditionBuilding this property and im-proving our current strip mallsare not mutually exclusiveThis property will not competewith a hobby shop nail salonor a local pizza place Thatrsquosnot whatrsquos proposed at allElwood is in a bad place fi-
nancially We cannot continuedown this same road for longOver the next three years itwill be virtually impossible topierce the tax cap and resi-dents cannot afford these in-creases If we cannot increaserevenue we need to increase itelsewhere or drastically cutcosts Drastic cuts will resultin a diminished educationalexperience for children andlower property values I sendmy kids to public school andwant to continue that I want toensure that Elwood not onlyexists but adds programs forour students further raisingour reputation and increasingour property values while re-ducing the burden to taxpayersso young families can afford tomove here and older residentscan afford to stay hereI believe this is the best op-
tion for us as a communityHEATHER ROSS
Elwood
OpinionlsquoNot the types set up by the printer return their impression the meaning the main concernrsquo
Is it possible state officials failed to dotheir homework before announcing fundingto locate an outreach center for recoveringaddicts at a Huntington Station churchDays after a June 29 announcement by the
New York State Office of Alcoholism andSubstance Abuse Services of a $15 milliongrant to nonprofit Family amp Childrenrsquos As-sociation to create a recovery and outreachcenter at St Peterrsquos Church inHuntington Station church of-ficials announced they werewithdrawing their offer to host the centerA statement provided by the church lead-
ership did little to clarify the reasons forwithdrawing from an already approved con-tract other than to say ldquothat partnering inthis effort would not be a good fit for thiscongregationrdquo But whatever the reason wequestion the wisdom of choosing the loca-tion in the first placeThe church campus is located in the mid-
dle of a residential neighborhood a gooddistance from a major thoroughfare It wasnot to be an in-patient facility but rather aplace where recovering addicts in treatmentprograms could be sent for support servicesFor that it sounds like a location more ac-cessible by public transportation would bebetter suitedThe legislation that provided funding for
the center was part of a packageonly recently approved by thestate legislature It was a vital ini-
tiative put in place to respond to a growingcrisis of addiction to opioids in particularstreet heroin Suffolk led the state in heroin-related deaths in 2014The initiative is a laudable startThe churchrsquos sudden withdrawal from the
plan was a disturbing false startIt leaves us wondering if government offi-
cials and politicians were perhaps overly ea-ger to be seen taking action

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

Five Reasons ToSupport
Elwood Orchard
DEAR EDITORIrsquom a homeowner down the
street from the proposed El-wood Orchard project Irsquom aparent of four children in El-wood schools am actively in-volved in our district educatedon our financial situation andin full support of this project1 That land will be devel-
oped The owner has shownhis desire to develop and thetown has shown their willing-ness to support zoningchanges If itrsquos going to be de-veloped I want to make sureitrsquos developed in the way thatwill be best for our communi-ty The previous proposal forhundreds of apartments wouldput a huge drain on our school
district and hurt our propertyvalues The other option Irsquoveheard people supporting is 1-acre homes The 1-acre homesat the end of my block pay$27000 annually in propertytaxes A house assessed at$4100 in Elwood pays ap-proximately $2000 more an-nually than our neighboringdistrict Half Hollow Hills Icannot think of a single personwho would purchase a 1-acrehome on Jericho Turnpike andpay higher property taxes tolive in a school district that islabeled in ldquofiscal distressrdquo2 Traffic and the number of
accidents at that location onJericho Turnpike have alsobeen questioned Theyrsquore validconcerns but that stretch fromManor Road to Warner Roadhas a speed limit of 40 mph Iwould say the usual speed is60-65 mph That is why there
are so many accidents Theproposed traffic light patternwill help the flow of traffic andwill create a system where ifpeople drive the speed limitthey will hit all green lightsThe developer paid for a trafficconsultant and offered to payfor a second traffic consultantchosen by the community Partof his approval will requirehim to pay for a third consult-ant through the town3 Elwood needs corporate
tax revenueWe are one of on-ly two districts on Long Islandto have failed budget votesThis community is alreadyovertaxed compared to neigh-boring districts due to the lackof commercial tax base Wehave been deficit spending foryears and are continuing thatin our current budget Themoney will run out at somepoint Our district has already
met with surrounding districtsin the past to explore consoli-dation No one was interestedThe information that the de-veloper has been approved for$188 million in tax breaks isfalse He would pay 100 per-cent of the taxes While it istrue that the around $3 millionin taxes will not go to the dis-trict to increase our spendingit will go towards our tax levyWe have a current tax levy ofabout $60 million dollars Iftheir $3 million goes into thatpot it reduces the burden oneveryone else to $57 millionwhich will result in a small de-crease in taxes or at the veryleast a decreased increase intaxes Tentative figures arearound $680 per household4 This developer has attend-
ed meetings and changed hisplans due to community feed-back I met with him this weekto ask questions and he satwith me for two hours He iswilling to provide communitybenefits based on our needsand wants He has spoken withthe Elwood Library severaltimes about providing a spaceon the property or helping to-wards a new building Hislandscape team is among thetop on Long Island His tenantsare long-term lease tenants5 The developer is focused
on synergy within his propertyand with surrounding proper-ties The PathMark shoppingcenter across the street is not indisrepair because of him El-wood Orchard is not even ap-proved If community mem-bers have an issue with thatshopping center they shouldaddress those with the townand the owner I live down the
street from there and wouldavoid PathMark in favor ofother grocery stores because itwas in such horrible conditionBuilding this property and im-proving our current strip mallsare not mutually exclusiveThis property will not competewith a hobby shop nail salonor a local pizza place Thatrsquosnot whatrsquos proposed at allElwood is in a bad place fi-
nancially We cannot continuedown this same road for longOver the next three years itwill be virtually impossible topierce the tax cap and resi-dents cannot afford these in-creases If we cannot increaserevenue we need to increase itelsewhere or drastically cutcosts Drastic cuts will resultin a diminished educationalexperience for children andlower property values I sendmy kids to public school andwant to continue that I want toensure that Elwood not onlyexists but adds programs forour students further raisingour reputation and increasingour property values while re-ducing the burden to taxpayersso young families can afford tomove here and older residentscan afford to stay hereI believe this is the best op-
tion for us as a communityHEATHER ROSS
Elwood
OpinionlsquoNot the types set up by the printer return their impression the meaning the main concernrsquo
Is it possible state officials failed to dotheir homework before announcing fundingto locate an outreach center for recoveringaddicts at a Huntington Station churchDays after a June 29 announcement by the
New York State Office of Alcoholism andSubstance Abuse Services of a $15 milliongrant to nonprofit Family amp Childrenrsquos As-sociation to create a recovery and outreachcenter at St Peterrsquos Church inHuntington Station church of-ficials announced they werewithdrawing their offer to host the centerA statement provided by the church lead-
ership did little to clarify the reasons forwithdrawing from an already approved con-tract other than to say ldquothat partnering inthis effort would not be a good fit for thiscongregationrdquo But whatever the reason wequestion the wisdom of choosing the loca-tion in the first placeThe church campus is located in the mid-
dle of a residential neighborhood a gooddistance from a major thoroughfare It wasnot to be an in-patient facility but rather aplace where recovering addicts in treatmentprograms could be sent for support servicesFor that it sounds like a location more ac-cessible by public transportation would bebetter suitedThe legislation that provided funding for
the center was part of a packageonly recently approved by thestate legislature It was a vital ini-
tiative put in place to respond to a growingcrisis of addiction to opioids in particularstreet heroin Suffolk led the state in heroin-related deaths in 2014The initiative is a laudable startThe churchrsquos sudden withdrawal from the
plan was a disturbing false startIt leaves us wondering if government offi-
cials and politicians were perhaps overly ea-ger to be seen taking action

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

Five Reasons ToSupport
Elwood Orchard
DEAR EDITORIrsquom a homeowner down the
street from the proposed El-wood Orchard project Irsquom aparent of four children in El-wood schools am actively in-volved in our district educatedon our financial situation andin full support of this project1 That land will be devel-
oped The owner has shownhis desire to develop and thetown has shown their willing-ness to support zoningchanges If itrsquos going to be de-veloped I want to make sureitrsquos developed in the way thatwill be best for our communi-ty The previous proposal forhundreds of apartments wouldput a huge drain on our school
district and hurt our propertyvalues The other option Irsquoveheard people supporting is 1-acre homes The 1-acre homesat the end of my block pay$27000 annually in propertytaxes A house assessed at$4100 in Elwood pays ap-proximately $2000 more an-nually than our neighboringdistrict Half Hollow Hills Icannot think of a single personwho would purchase a 1-acrehome on Jericho Turnpike andpay higher property taxes tolive in a school district that islabeled in ldquofiscal distressrdquo2 Traffic and the number of
accidents at that location onJericho Turnpike have alsobeen questioned Theyrsquore validconcerns but that stretch fromManor Road to Warner Roadhas a speed limit of 40 mph Iwould say the usual speed is60-65 mph That is why there
are so many accidents Theproposed traffic light patternwill help the flow of traffic andwill create a system where ifpeople drive the speed limitthey will hit all green lightsThe developer paid for a trafficconsultant and offered to payfor a second traffic consultantchosen by the community Partof his approval will requirehim to pay for a third consult-ant through the town3 Elwood needs corporate
tax revenueWe are one of on-ly two districts on Long Islandto have failed budget votesThis community is alreadyovertaxed compared to neigh-boring districts due to the lackof commercial tax base Wehave been deficit spending foryears and are continuing thatin our current budget Themoney will run out at somepoint Our district has already
met with surrounding districtsin the past to explore consoli-dation No one was interestedThe information that the de-veloper has been approved for$188 million in tax breaks isfalse He would pay 100 per-cent of the taxes While it istrue that the around $3 millionin taxes will not go to the dis-trict to increase our spendingit will go towards our tax levyWe have a current tax levy ofabout $60 million dollars Iftheir $3 million goes into thatpot it reduces the burden oneveryone else to $57 millionwhich will result in a small de-crease in taxes or at the veryleast a decreased increase intaxes Tentative figures arearound $680 per household4 This developer has attend-
ed meetings and changed hisplans due to community feed-back I met with him this weekto ask questions and he satwith me for two hours He iswilling to provide communitybenefits based on our needsand wants He has spoken withthe Elwood Library severaltimes about providing a spaceon the property or helping to-wards a new building Hislandscape team is among thetop on Long Island His tenantsare long-term lease tenants5 The developer is focused
on synergy within his propertyand with surrounding proper-ties The PathMark shoppingcenter across the street is not indisrepair because of him El-wood Orchard is not even ap-proved If community mem-bers have an issue with thatshopping center they shouldaddress those with the townand the owner I live down the
street from there and wouldavoid PathMark in favor ofother grocery stores because itwas in such horrible conditionBuilding this property and im-proving our current strip mallsare not mutually exclusiveThis property will not competewith a hobby shop nail salonor a local pizza place Thatrsquosnot whatrsquos proposed at allElwood is in a bad place fi-
nancially We cannot continuedown this same road for longOver the next three years itwill be virtually impossible topierce the tax cap and resi-dents cannot afford these in-creases If we cannot increaserevenue we need to increase itelsewhere or drastically cutcosts Drastic cuts will resultin a diminished educationalexperience for children andlower property values I sendmy kids to public school andwant to continue that I want toensure that Elwood not onlyexists but adds programs forour students further raisingour reputation and increasingour property values while re-ducing the burden to taxpayersso young families can afford tomove here and older residentscan afford to stay hereI believe this is the best op-
tion for us as a communityHEATHER ROSS

OpinionlsquoNot the types set up by the printer return their impression the meaning the main concernrsquo
Is it possible state officials failed to dotheir homework before announcing fundingto locate an outreach center for recoveringaddicts at a Huntington Station churchDays after a June 29 announcement by the
New York State Office of Alcoholism andSubstance Abuse Services of a $15 milliongrant to nonprofit Family amp Childrenrsquos As-sociation to create a recovery and outreachcenter at St Peterrsquos Church inHuntington Station church of-ficials announced they werewithdrawing their offer to host the centerA statement provided by the church lead-
ership did little to clarify the reasons forwithdrawing from an already approved con-tract other than to say ldquothat partnering inthis effort would not be a good fit for thiscongregationrdquo But whatever the reason wequestion the wisdom of choosing the loca-tion in the first placeThe church campus is located in the mid-
dle of a residential neighborhood a gooddistance from a major thoroughfare It wasnot to be an in-patient facility but rather aplace where recovering addicts in treatmentprograms could be sent for support servicesFor that it sounds like a location more ac-cessible by public transportation would bebetter suitedThe legislation that provided funding for
the center was part of a packageonly recently approved by thestate legislature It was a vital ini-
tiative put in place to respond to a growingcrisis of addiction to opioids in particularstreet heroin Suffolk led the state in heroin-related deaths in 2014The initiative is a laudable startThe churchrsquos sudden withdrawal from the
plan was a disturbing false startIt leaves us wondering if government offi-
cials and politicians were perhaps overly ea-ger to be seen taking action

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

On a recent Wednesday eveningsitting in a cavernous space admiringthe high industrial ceilings withbeams exposed and giant fans lazilyspinning I found myself thinkingthat this place has some real am-biance Frommy vantage point abovethe floor level seats I gazed upon ea-ger fans some with eyes glued to thestage others busily texting on cellphones likely checking in via socialmedia from Huntingtonrsquos ParamountTheater For nearly five years TheParamount has offered up a wide ar-ray of top comedy acts and headlineentertainers spanning the musicalspectrum On this given eveninghowever while awaiting the appear-ance of LeAnn Rimes a rsquo90s countryicon and two-time Grammy winner Ihad the distinct and unexpectedpleasure of witnessing an energeticset by country newcomers ShotgunWedding who opened the showWith little fanfare and no introduc-
tion the group leapt out of the start-ing gate with a driving drumbeat pro-vided by seasoned veteran ChuckBurgi who is also a member of theBilly Joel Band and launched atbreakneck speed into a raucoushonky-tonk version of ldquoTravelinrsquoPrayerrdquo an obscure Billy Joel cutfrom the long ago ldquoPiano Manrdquo al-bum Rich vocal harmonies backedby rollicking piano and guitar lickshad the audience immediately clap-ping along with this group of well-weathered musiciansUnder the gun with an opening act

like a parody but Shotgun Weddingbrings something fresh and memo-rable to a format that seems to relysolely on power-pop driven hits withjust enough twang to get away with

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

tion the group leapt out of the start-ing gate with a driving drumbeat pro-vided by seasoned veteran ChuckBurgi who is also a member of theBilly Joel Band and launched atbreakneck speed into a raucoushonky-tonk version of ldquoTravelinrsquoPrayerrdquo an obscure Billy Joel cutfrom the long ago ldquoPiano Manrdquo al-bum Rich vocal harmonies backedby rollicking piano and guitar lickshad the audience immediately clap-ping along with this group of well-weathered musiciansUnder the gun with an opening act

like a parody but Shotgun Weddingbrings something fresh and memo-rable to a format that seems to relysolely on power-pop driven hits withjust enough twang to get away with

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

tion the group leapt out of the start-ing gate with a driving drumbeat pro-vided by seasoned veteran ChuckBurgi who is also a member of theBilly Joel Band and launched atbreakneck speed into a raucoushonky-tonk version of ldquoTravelinrsquoPrayerrdquo an obscure Billy Joel cutfrom the long ago ldquoPiano Manrdquo al-bum Rich vocal harmonies backedby rollicking piano and guitar lickshad the audience immediately clap-ping along with this group of well-weathered musiciansUnder the gun with an opening act

like a parody but Shotgun Weddingbrings something fresh and memo-rable to a format that seems to relysolely on power-pop driven hits withjust enough twang to get away with

legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

I like to think of my-self as a strategicthinker although admit-tedly I have been knownto act on impulse Itrsquos the impulsivedealings that tend to get me into trou-ble This dates back to elementaryschool when I blurted something out toa teacher and lived to regret the remark
To improve the decision-making ar-eas of my life I went online to do a bitof research I found this passage writtenby business coachauthor J Glenn Eber-sole in an article entitled ldquoStrategicThinking 11 Critical Skills Neededrdquo
ldquoStrategic thinking is a process thatdefines the manner in which peoplethink about assess view and create thefuture for themselves and others Strate-gic thinking is an extremely effectiveand valuable tool One can apply strate-gic thinking to arrive at decisions thatcan be related to your work or personallife Strategic thinking involves devel-oping an entire set of critical skillsrdquoEbersole writes
Ebersole goes on to list and elaborateon eleven critical skills Irsquove picked outa few ldquothat the best strategic thinkerspossess and use every dayrdquo
ldquoThey are committed lifelong learnersand learn from each of their experiencesThey use their experiences to enablethem to think better on strategic issuesrdquo
Debbi Honorof senior director ofmarketing and communications at Hof-stra Universityrsquo Continuing Educationprogram often speaks on ldquoThriving inthe 21st CenturyWorkplacerdquo Debbi ad-dresses skills which include creativeproblem-solving critical thinking in-formation and media literacy commu-nications and cultural awareness As
lifelong learners know there is so muchmore to enhance our knowledge basethan what we look away from highschool and college Even those with ad-vanced degrees are often mandated bytheir professions to obtain continuededucation credits ndash and for good reason
As an instructor in the ContinuingEducation program I embrace the con-cept of lifelong learning and so do myadult studentsWe feel that exhilarationthat comeswith knowledge and growth
ldquoThey are committed to and seek ad-vice from othersrdquo
Whether itrsquos a formal mentoring rela-tionship or discussions with colleaguesand others who have the ability to listenand respond analytically there is muchto be gained when taking into consider-ation the views of others Strategicthinkers know that they donrsquot have allthe answers They also know that dif-fering opinions can open the door tocarefully thought-out strategies
ldquoThey are amazingly aware and per-ceptive They will recognize internaland external clues often subtle to helpguide future direction and realize op-portunities for them and their compa-nies or organizationsrdquo
Strategic thinkers have the ability tolook inside themselves to understandtheir own motives biases past experi-ences and objectives At the same timethese successful individuals have aheightened sense of awareness in theirbusiness and personal lives havingwhatEbersole calls ldquoah ha experiencesrdquo
ldquoThey have an innate ability to beproactive and anticipate change ratherthan being reactive to changes afterthey occurrdquo
This reflects back on being awareand perceptive Effective strategicthinkers are not taken by surprise either

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

On a recent Wednesday eveningsitting in a cavernous space admiringthe high industrial ceilings withbeams exposed and giant fans lazilyspinning I found myself thinkingthat this place has some real am-biance Frommy vantage point abovethe floor level seats I gazed upon ea-ger fans some with eyes glued to thestage others busily texting on cellphones likely checking in via socialmedia from Huntingtonrsquos ParamountTheater For nearly five years TheParamount has offered up a wide ar-ray of top comedy acts and headlineentertainers spanning the musicalspectrum On this given eveninghowever while awaiting the appear-ance of LeAnn Rimes a rsquo90s countryicon and two-time Grammy winner Ihad the distinct and unexpectedpleasure of witnessing an energeticset by country newcomers ShotgunWedding who opened the showWith little fanfare and no introduc-
tion the group leapt out of the start-ing gate with a driving drumbeat pro-vided by seasoned veteran ChuckBurgi who is also a member of theBilly Joel Band and launched atbreakneck speed into a raucoushonky-tonk version of ldquoTravelinrsquoPrayerrdquo an obscure Billy Joel cutfrom the long ago ldquoPiano Manrdquo al-bum Rich vocal harmonies backedby rollicking piano and guitar lickshad the audience immediately clap-ping along with this group of well-weathered musiciansUnder the gun with an opening act

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

On a recent Wednesday eveningsitting in a cavernous space admiringthe high industrial ceilings withbeams exposed and giant fans lazilyspinning I found myself thinkingthat this place has some real am-biance Frommy vantage point abovethe floor level seats I gazed upon ea-ger fans some with eyes glued to thestage others busily texting on cellphones likely checking in via socialmedia from Huntingtonrsquos ParamountTheater For nearly five years TheParamount has offered up a wide ar-ray of top comedy acts and headlineentertainers spanning the musicalspectrum On this given eveninghowever while awaiting the appear-ance of LeAnn Rimes a rsquo90s countryicon and two-time Grammy winner Ihad the distinct and unexpectedpleasure of witnessing an energeticset by country newcomers ShotgunWedding who opened the showWith little fanfare and no introduc-
tion the group leapt out of the start-ing gate with a driving drumbeat pro-vided by seasoned veteran ChuckBurgi who is also a member of theBilly Joel Band and launched atbreakneck speed into a raucoushonky-tonk version of ldquoTravelinrsquoPrayerrdquo an obscure Billy Joel cutfrom the long ago ldquoPiano Manrdquo al-bum Rich vocal harmonies backedby rollicking piano and guitar lickshad the audience immediately clap-ping along with this group of well-weathered musiciansUnder the gun with an opening act

far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates

are recovering from addictionldquoAddiction devastates the lives of
far too many New Yorkers and theirfamiliesrdquo Gov Andrew Cuomo saidin a statement These new centerswill provide the necessary resourcesand support to those seeking recov-ery and will help us build a strongerand healthier NewYork for allrdquoFCA a multifaceted group work-
ing to benefit underserved childrenand those battling addiction is in aformal partnership with the Long Is-land Council on Alcoholism andDrug DependenceSteve Chassman LICADD execu-
tive director said Huntington isamong the locations being consid-ered to ldquodraw young people and fam-ilies from both countiesrdquoOne of the first locations consid-
ered was St Peterrsquos EvangelicalChurch in Huntington Station butthe church has withdrawn its offer tohost the centerldquoThe Congregation Council of St
Peters Church in Huntington Stationhas regretfully decided to withdrawfrom preliminary discussion it hadentered into with four social serviceagencies approved by the state to de-velop a Recovery Center on Long Is-landrdquo Rev Frank Nelson pastor atSt Peterrsquos said in an emailed state-ment ldquoWhile responding to a vital
community need that this congrega-tions leaders support it has becomeobvious that partnering in this effortwould not be a good fit for this con-gregation its already developed ex-pressions of ministry and its place inthe communityrdquoThe announcement of the planned
recovery center comes on the heels ofa legislation package signed into lawby Cuomo on June 22 It included theaddition of 270 in-patient treatmentbeds across the state mandated in-surance coverage for 15 days fortreatment and restrictions on opioidprescriptionsldquoIt was the most comprehensive
legislative package signed into lawever in NYS regarding substanceuserdquo Chassman said ldquoYou had fam-ilies in very difficult situations tochoose over their loved one or insome cases thousands or tens ofthousands of dollars in treatment thatshould have been covered if their pol-icy and premiums were paidrdquoChassman said the recovery center
and the legislative package were thefruition of years of workState Assemblyman Chad Lupinac-
ci (R-South Huntington) mirroredChassman explaining that the legisla-tion was the culmination of researchon the heroin problem at local forumsincluding one at Walt Whitman HighSchool back in September 2015
ldquoFrom that information we wereable to see what we lack and wherewe could make improvements Ithink that gave us first-hand experi-ence in terms of what could actuallygo into the legislationrdquo he saidRegarding the recovery center he
said that while St Peterrsquos had retract-ed their offer it was important to rec-ognize that the facility would not bean in-patient facilityldquoItrsquos not for addictsrdquo he said adding
that the center is intended for patientsalready being treated for addiction atother facilities ldquoThis is more of a re-source to make sure that people thatare recovering donrsquot relapserdquoHe believed that as long as the
ldquocommunity feels it would be a goodfitrdquo a Huntington location could actas a ldquocentral localerdquo between thecounties
Suffolk County Legislator WilliamldquoDocrdquo Spencer (D-Centerport) laudedthe statersquos efforts adding that it wasldquoextremely importantrdquo to decreasebarriers for patients to access cover-age from their insurance companiesHe added that his ldquoonly cautionrdquo
focuses on the provision of the pack-age which mandates a three-houropioid-prescribing course for physi-cians every three yearsldquoAnother professional mandate
may cause some physicians not tobother prescribing much-needed painmedicinesrdquo he saidIn June the state issued a report
that added 2014 to Suffolkrsquos trend ofleading the state in heroin-relateddeaths by county The analysis foundthat the county had 111 heroin-relat-ed deaths and 96 deaths related toprescription opiates
