Patient surveys rate three North Shore hospitals among best for LI/NYC area BY ALex PeTroSkI alex@tbrnewspapers.com No one wants to be sick enough to require a hospital visit, but North Shore residents learned last month they live near three of the best facilities in the Long Island/New York City area if that day should come. Data compiled by Medicare based on patient surveys conducted from April 2015 through March 2016 and released in December ranked John T. Mather Memorial Hospital and St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, as well as Stony Brook University Hospital, among the top seven in overall rating, and the top nine in likelihood patients would recommend the hospital to a friend or family member. Overall patient satisfaction ratings were based on recently discharged patient responses to survey questions in 10 categories, including effectiveness of communication by both doctors and nurses, timeliness of receiving help, pain management, cleanliness and noise level at night, among others. Mather finished behind just St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn of the 27 hospitals considered in the New York/Long Island area in their overall rating. St. Charles ranked sixth and Stony Brook seventh. Mather was also the second most likely hospital for a patient to recommend to a family member or friend, with St. Charles and Stony Brook coming in eighth and ninth places, respectively. St. Francis also topped that category. Stu Vincent, a spokesperson for Mather, said administration is proud to be recognized for its quality. “The driving force behind everything we do at Mather is our commitment to our patients, their families and the communities we serve,” he said. “We know people have many choices in health care and we continually strive to ensure that our hospital exceeds their expectations through our employees’ commitment to continuous quality and patient satisfaction improvement.” A spokesman from St. Charles expressed a similar sentiment. “At St. Charles, the quality of care that we provide to our patients is first and at the center of everything we do,” Jim O’Connor, ex-

ecutive vice president and chief administrative officer at St. Charles said in a statement. “That commitment to quality is evidenced by these wonderful patient satisfaction scores and the successful number of high level accreditations St. Charles received recently.” Stony Brook hospital spokeswoman Melissa Weir emailed a statement on behalf of hospital administration regarding its rank among other area facilities. “We are constantly looking for ways to improve, and are continuously developing new approaches to ensure that our patients have the best experience while they are in our care,” she said. “One of our goals is to achieve top decile performance with a focus on matters such as improving communication, reducing noise, addressing pain management and implementing nurse leader hourly rounding and hourly comfort checks.” Mather’s ratings were at or above average for New York and nationwide in nearly every category as well as the likelihood to be recommended by a patient. St. Charles beat New York averages in nearly every category and was above the national average in likelihood to be recommended. Stony Brook was also above average compared to the rest of the area in most categories. All three hospitals received their highest scores in communication by doctors and nurses, along with their ability to provide information to patients for effective recovery at home. All three hospitals were given their lowest ratings in noise levels at night and in patient’s understanding of care after leaving the hospital.

The Town of Brookhaven is embracing the modern age to help prepare for severe weather. With snowstorm season underway, Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) is making it a whole lot easier to clear roadways with the roll out of a new app designed to help foremen streamline the process of contacting hired drivers and achieve efficiency through technology. The “call-out app,” created by Losquadro and staff in the Division of Information Technology, will do away with the old system in which foremen had to go to their offices and make calls to each individual driver to confirm who was working, what town to respond to and what time their services would be needed. With 1,194 active snow removal vendors throughout the district, that process could take up to four hours — precious time that could be better spent plowing the streets. With the new app, drivers provide their cell phone numbers and email addresses, and from the comfort of their iPads or iPhones, foremen can simply send a text or email about the specifics of the job — what yard to report to, what equipment or vehicle to use, what time to start — and get instant yes or no responses as to who’s available to work. Foremen are able to see, in real time, who is coming in, who isn’t, and can dictate how many total vendors will be in specific areas. Address hyperlinks are also included, so with the click of a button, the driver is brought directly to a map with directions to the given job site. By automating the process and having such an immediate call-out, snow removal vendors can get to roads faster by several hours, saving the Town and its residents time and money. “There’s no reason government needs to be archaic and not operate with the same technology that we’re using everyday of our

lives outside of government,” Losquadro said. “I’ve been striving to bring us into the modern age, and this is just another step toward that. This is technology that everyone is very comfortable and well-acquainted with. The app is going to make us more efficient; we can actually spend our time doing the work that needs to be done.” Losquadro introduced and trained supervisors and field workers on a custombuilt, electronic work order system last year, developed a system to track work orders during severe weather the year before that, and is currently in the process of making an electronic time sheet program that will keep track of work hours operational before the end of this snow season. He said he and the IT staff have been able to build these programs in-house, rather than go out to consultants and spend thousands of taxpayer dollars. From concept to reality, the call-out app took roughly four months to get off the ground and functions on an Apple-operating system, making it as user-friendly as possible. The app can run on desktop computers, tablets and iPhones. Matt Sabatello, an IT staff member, said a test of the app was conducted in early December and feedback from foremen has been incredible. “The app allows for better decisionmaking for foremen,” he said. “It gives them a good idea of which vendors are responding to work in what areas and, if need be, allows them to react immediately to reassign a vendor to an area that nobody may have been calling in about.” With Brookhaven being such a large township, Losquadro said “there’s no reason we shouldn’t be leading the way.” “I’m very proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of ideas about what I’ve wanted to do, and being able to [see them through] has been very satisfying. The app is a fully live and operational system and, God willing, I won’t have to use it that much this year.”

Suffolk County Police Department: 2016 safest year on record By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com “We are now safer than we have ever been before in Suffolk County and that’s because of the hard work of the men and women of the Suffolk County Police Department,” Police Commissioner Tim Sini announced recently. Sini reported on the final 2016 crime statistics at SCPD Headquarters Jan. 6, which showed the county ended the year with the lowest levels of crime ever recorded in the history of the department — with the exception of homicides. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) joined the commissioner in presenting the historic crime drop. “Public safety is my top priority,” Bellone said. “I know I speak for everyone in Suffolk County when I say we are proud of the police, proud of the work they do every day for us, proud of the courage and bravery they demonstrate and proud that they’ve clearly made the county one of the safest places to live anywhere in our country. These statistics speak very clearly about the work they’ve been doing.” According to Sini, who just wrapped up his first year as the youngest SCPD commissioner ever appointed, compared to crime stats in 2015, violent crime (rape, robbery and aggravated assault) decreased by 10.9 percent and property crime went down 5.2 percent, with an overall 5.7 percent reduction of total crime. “We see the crime going down and enforcement going up and that’s, obviously, not an accident,” Sini said. “We are a problemsolving police department. When [we] came into office here, my leadership team and I made it clear we’re going to be focused on opiate addiction, firearms and gang violence, as well as traffic fatalities.” Under Sini’s leadership, the SCPD launched several initiatives and utilized 21st century policing methodologies that gave way to precision policing, intelligence-led policing and community-based policing. In tackling the opiate epidemic sweeping Suffolk the last few years, Sini re-engaged a partnership with federal law enforcement officers, including five detectives, to target high-

Below, crime and drug facts from the police department. level drug dealers active in the communities. He also loaded up on staff in the department’s narcotics section to roll out a hotline (631-852-NARC) where residents can anonymously report drug dealings going in areas where they live and even get cash rewards for any tips that lead to arrests. So far, since launching the hotline, the department has received more than 1,300 tips from anonymous civilians. In a previous interview with TBR News Media, Sini said the hotline has led to a 140 percent increase in the amount of search warrants issued by August; 400 drug dealers have been arrested; the police department has seized more than $1 million in drug money; and is on pace to confiscate more illegal firearms than ever before. Additionally, SCPD has saved approximately 779 individuals using Narcan, the anti-opiate overdose antidote. Narcotics search warrants alone have increased by 118.2 percent — 192 in 2016 compared to 88 in 2015.

Sini said there’s been an initiative in partnership with the Highway Patrol Unit to help reduce distracted driving, aggressive driving and speeding, educate the public about the dangers of distracted and impaired driving and reach out to municipalities in relation to improving conditions on the road. This has also proved effective. Suffolk has seen a decrease in motor vehicle crashes by 2.5 percent, motor vehicle crashes resulting in fatalities by 29.9 percent and pedestrian fatalities by 29.4 percent. SCPD Chief Stuart Cameron said the reality of Suffolk today in regards to safety has long been dreamed about. “Throughout my 33 years with SCPD, I’ve heard people wistfully referring to the olden days of yore where you could leave your doors unlocked and things were much safer ... as statistics bear out, we’re living in those times right now,” the chief said. “Not that I’m encouraging anybody to leave their doors unlocked, but crime stats have truly never been better. And without the public, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve these results.” While homicides have risen, with 34 recorded in 2016 compared to 25 in 2015, Sini said that number can be largely attributed to heavy MS13 gang activity in areas like Brent-

wood, for which aggressive strategies have been enforced by Sini to “decimate MS13 and these other gangs.” “We collect intelligence of known gang members in the county, assign gang officers and gang enforcers to particular [communities], and we’ve seen a dramatic decline in crime and gang violence since the initiative,” he said. Through Sini’s creation of what he calls the Firearms Suppression Team — a mix of officers and detectives who have worked to prevent gun-related violence — SCPD has had a 50.9 percent increase in illegal firearms seizures, 507 recovered in 2016 compared to 336 in 2015, as well as a 4.4 percent decrease in shooting incident and trigger pulls. By taking away a criminal’s tool of the trade — firearms — the commissioner said “you can make a significant dent in violent crime.” Despite the uptick in homicides, he said preventing them is a top priority. “If you look at all the hamlets and overall crime reduction, we’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished but we’re not complacent,” Sini said. “One homicide is one too many and we’re going to keep doing what we have to do to ensure the safety of Suffolk County residents.”

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable John H. Rouse, Acting J.S.C. filed December 2, 2016. The object of this action is to foreclose a mortgage and covering the premises known as 79 Washington Avenue, Mastic Beach, New York located at District 0209 F/K/A 0200 Section 012.00 F/K/A 974.90; Block 01.00 and Lot 015.000 Dated: December 5, 2016 Berkman, Henoch, Peterson, Peddy and Fenchel, P.C., Attorney for Plaintiff, By: Carly Bazerman, 100 Garden City Plaza, Garden City, NY 11530 (516) 222-6200.

Garden renamed in memory Music students attend of superintendent’s late wife Lincoln Center concert By Deniz yilDirim Student ambassadors and teachers at Comsewogue’s Terryville Elementary School gathered on the morning of Dec. 16 to honor Jacqueline Rella, beloved late wife of Superintendent Joe Rella. The school’s literacy garden was given new life and renamed Jackie’s Garden to recognize Jacqueline’s life of kindness and love. Rella and his son Richard were greeted and escorted to the garden by Francis Rella, a third-grader at Terryville and the superintendent’s grandson. Girl Scout Troop 2379 created the garden’s beautiful new sign, and were also in attendance

to witness the garden’s opening. Francis Rella cut the red ribbon and Jackie’s garden officially received its first visitors. Chorus instructor Ellen Rios conducted students as they sang “How Does a Garden Grow.” The ceremony closed with a reading of “The Hat,” by Jan Brett, a warm story that reminded attendees of Jackie’s stylish hats. Jackie’s Garden is a way for Terryville to celebrate and always remember the bright and compassionate life of Jacqueline Rella. “We believe in honoring those who emulate our core beliefs, and no one did that better than Jackie,” school principal April Victor said.

More than 50 Port Jefferson School District student-musicians and their families attended an evening performance of the New York Philharmonic at David Geffen

Hall in Lincoln Center Jan. 5. Attendees enjoyed the orchestra’s performance that featured word-renowned pianist Emanuel Ax and maestro Alan Gilbert.

Warriors already making huge strides this season By DeSirée KeeGaN desiree@tbrnewspapers.com What a difference a year can make. With the Comsewogue girls’ basketball’s 54-37 win over Westhampton Jan. 10, the Warriors have already improved on last season’s League V record. Junior guard Nora Gabel, who experienced the struggles of last season firsthand, is leading the way this year. “Westhampton is always a really close game — we’re really evenly matched, and last year we lost to them in overtime at the buzzer, so we came in knowing not to take it easy,” Gabel said.

Comsewogue 54 Westhampton 37

The junior scored a game-high 23 points in the win, but classmate Megan Turner was responsible for getting the ball rolling. Turner tallied 10 points in the first quarter to help the Warriors to a 20-8 lead after eight minutes. Senior Sam Collins added five points and Gabel chipped in four in the opening quarter. Gabel said the team was successful because of the way the Warriors not only schemed against their opponent but also their unselfish team play. “We knew what strategies they were going to use, so we practiced plays around it and helped other girls get to the basket to score,” she said. “We set a lot of screens to help others get open. No one is a selfish player. We pass each other the ball, and it helps.” She said that was part of the team’s problem last season, which led to a 3-9 League V record. With the win over Westhampton, Comsewogue is now 4-1. The Warriors slowed down in the second, scoring seven points — four from junior Georgia Alexiou — but still took a 27-16 lead into the locker room. “We got stops when we needed it,” Comsewogue head coach Joe Caltagirone said. “I wasn’t too happy with the rebounding in the first half, but it was better in the second half. We have a few girls that can score and a few girls that play good defense, so we just play a good team game.” The team rode the hot hand in the second half. Gabel came out guns blazing, scoring the first nine points for her team with two field goals, a three-point play and two free throws. “We’re able to force a lot of turnovers —

we steal the ball a lot — and we’re fast too, so we can capitalize on those turnovers and get easy baskets,” Gabel said. She had two breakaway baskets and five steals, and finished the scoring in the third with a buzzer-beating layup that put her team up 42-28. “I was happy that she got a little more aggressive in the second half,” Caltagirone said of Gabel. “I think she was a little passive in the first half, but she totally changed the momentum of the game because they thought they had her in check, and then she got a couple of easy baskets in the third quarter and they exerted a lot of energy trying to play catch-up.” The Warriors were able to control the final eight minutes, with Gabel scoring seven of the team’s 12 points.

“She scores in a variety of ways — she can hook the threes, she gets to the basket, she gets to the line; she’s shifty,” Caltagirone said. “She has a couple of moves in her arsenal she can use at any time. She takes pride in what she does and she works hard. There are games where she doesn’t score as much, but we win, and she’s happy with that, too.” Gabel said she’s most excited about making a statement this season. “Our games haven’t been that close, so I think we have a better chance of coming second in the league, or maybe even taking first if we beat Harborfields the second time we play them,” she said. “I want to make playoffs this season. Last season we were the underdogs and everyone thought we were so bad, and it’d be nice to show them who we really are.”

OpiniOn Editorial

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin greets veterans.

Letters to the editor

File photo

Zeldin should have been considered for Veterans Affairs seat President-elect Donald Trump’s (R) cabinet appointments to this point have raised some eyebrows, but we had a perfect solution for one of the departments which was still in need of leadership as several selections begin the confirmation process this week. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) seemed like a no-brainer to serve as the secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Although Trump nominated David Shulkin, the current undersecretary for health of the VA, when he addressed the media Jan. 11, we think Zeldin’s name should be kept in mind for the position should any snags arise in Shulkin’s confirmation. Trump has met with or considered about a dozen people to run the second-largest federal department, according to The Washington Post, prior to landing on Shulkin. Although it has been proven to be one of the toughest segments of government to run and run well — with accountability, budget management issues and more plaguing the current administration — you don’t have to look far to see why Zeldin would have fit the bill. Zedlin, a veteran himself, has been fighting to expand disabled veterans’ access to adult day health care in and away from home, even helping construct a new veterans health care clinic in Manorville. He also created the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer peer-to-peer support program to fight PTSD and veteran suicide rates, helping those who return from combat ill prepared to handle the physical and mental scarring. Zeldin was in strong support of the No Veterans Crisis Line Call Should Go Unanswered Act, which mandates that crisis center responders be available to answer a dedicated phone number 24 hours a day, seven days a week. President Barack Obama (D) signed it into law in November, after the bill garnered unanimous support in the House. In 2016 Suffolk County joined the ranks of only a few select regions in the U.S. to bring an “effective end” to veteran homelessness, according to the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, and Zeldin worked with many groups who helped achieve this status. He’s a member of the Veterans’ Affairs and Foreign Affairs committees and continues to serve as a major in the Army Reserves. Zeldin has also been a strong supporter of curbing the drug crisis plaguing the country. The congressman strongly endorsed the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, to combat Long Island’s heroin hitch, signed into law by President Obama this past summer. Zeldin is also a member of the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic. All of these achievements were reached in Zeldin’s freshman term as a congressman, and we believe his input in this area should be valued going forward no matter who holds the cabinet position. Zeldin supported Trump in the presidential campaign, and said he sides with the Republican on many issues in our in-house candidate debate; so it seems like a Trump decision to pick Zeldin would have been fitting. As for our editorial board, we saw it as not just fitting but a strong and wise choice.

A snow plow clears the road during a storm.

Photo from Town of Brookhaven

Understanding the work of a plower First snow of the season and I am happy to say I’ve had many new potential customers contact me. I meet two types of people in need of snow removal. Those who do and don’t understand that, unlike in other businesses, I can’t be in different places at the same time. Most customers cannot be first, but generally, they’re happy to see us — are even okay that we woke them in the wee hours, clearing their driveways, cars and walkways. I can usually get to everyone within six hours of an average snowfall, although through human error, we have been known to forget part of a route, and for that I generally give a free plow after taking over 24 hours to get to a contracted, long-standing account. Then, there’s the customer I meet who calls the day before a storm, or as the snow is falling, and wants a price over the phone, and for me to plow their driveway sight unseen and without installing markers. Then, if I am not there as soon as the snow stops, I get repeat phone calls and angry texts because I “failed”

to keep my end of the contract — a contract they may or may not have even received yet, because I’ve not had time to make one at the last minute. I am far from perfect. My employees and I have made mistakes — from forgetting to clear a walkway or mailbox, to forgetting to clean off a senior’s car, to missing a customer completely either because they are brand new or because we’d been working 18 hours with no sleep and needed to get home to catch some shut-eye before going back out for another 12 hours or more. I want people to understand that I try my very best to enable everyone to get out of their homes and to their jobs. I’ve been known to break my route if a senior calls with an emergency — or advanced warning of a doctor’s appointment that can’t be missed. Time is of the essence. Most people want to be out of the house between 6 and 8 a.m. I can do that if the snow stops by midnight. But if it starts at 4 a.m. and is coming down at an inch or more per hour, I’m obligated

to keep my commercial accounts open. Businesses pay me to plow every two inches to ensure they stay open and customers are safe. Residential accounts pay for me to clear their driveways and walkways according to how many inches reported by the National Weather Service. Yet I’ve had people who refuse to pay for an entire season because I only plowed once per storm. They feel I only deserve $50 each time; whether I clear six or 23 inches. If you sign a contract, I must assume you’ve read it. I’ll do my best to uphold my end and I expect you to uphold yours. I also have customers who bake cookies, or make us quarts of hot soup — or tip my shovelers at the door. I get many thank you texts from people who are just glad we made it through. If people would just take a moment to see the business through my eyes, I’d hope they’d understand it’s impossible to please every customer all the time, though I sincerely wish I could.

Lesson learned pending trip to doctor In response to Publisher Leah Dunaief’s Jan. 5 column “A s-ticky start to 2017,” I, too, found what I thought might be a tick, in my case, on my leg. Anxious to learn if it was in fact a tick, and, if so, of the variety to cause concern, I placed it in a

plastic bag and went upstairs to dress for a visit to my doctor. When I returned to the kitchen, I found that the suspect had eaten its way out of the plastic bag and disappeared to places unknown. Lesson to be learned: pending a trip to the doctor, place the

“tick” in a secure container, i.e., one that cannot be chewed apart to allow the creature to escape. I thought my experience would tick-le you.

OpiniOn Seeking greatness through wins and losses

W

e the people are clearly a group as diverse as the sea to shining sea. At the same time that we have dry, magnificent landscapes in Bryce Canyon in Utah, where the orange and red rock columns sometimes look like stacked chess pieces, we also have Highway 1 in California, where the mountains and the sea come together, offering a winding view of an inspiring coastline. These days, it seems there’s a great deal that separates us: the By Daniel Dunaief haves and the have-nots, the blue and the red states, the angry and the angrier. We are an outraged nation that has turned in on itself. We are guaranteed the right to complain, to

D. None of the above

question and to criticize anyone we choose, whether that’s our favorite football team or our national political leaders. We seem so intent on defending ourselves that we go on the offensive before our many adversaries speak because the best defense is a good offense. One of my favorite lines from the movie “Wedding Crashers” is, “Shut your mouth when you’re talking to me.” We have reached a new level of frustration in our lives and with each other. I hope the president-elect can deliver on his goal to Make America Great Again. However, I suspect, even the notion of greatness is something this diverse country would debate in the wee hours of the night, particularly on Twitter, which seems to be the shortcut equivalent of white papers. Need a bottom-line analysis? Go to Twitter, where, within a few words, leaders can attack, excoriate, vilify and lambast each other,

leaving the rest of us to wonder who won this war of words and whether the sense of optimism and hope that defined the founding of the country can return. We don’t seem to win well or lose well these days. The hand wringing, fear and disappointment about the national election doesn’t and won’t change anything. Yet, each day, people seem to relive a loss they couldn’t imagine when they looked at those old, reliable polls. It’s real and not just reality TV: Donald Trump will be the president soon. I’m not suggesting everyone line up with signs supporting a man who ran a campaign that selectively embraced everything from WikiLeaks to the National Enquirer. No matter the outcome, this would have been an election in which half the divided nation expressed outrage. But, as I ask my children when they lose points on their tests: What did you learn? What are the lessons you missed and how can you improve the next time? Yes, I know pundits have offered

numerous explanations about divisions in the country that the coastline-centered media missed. Is it possible to lose graciously while learning more about the process, the policies that matter and the messages people want to hear? Outside the world of politics and inside the painted lines, professional athletes sometimes don’t react to losses well, punching walls and throwing tantrums. At the end of youth sports games, where the energy and excitement of the parents are often at least as high as they are for the kids, the boys and girls line up, shake hands and congratulate each other on a “good game.” As a part of that line, I’ve seen faces filled with elation and with tears. Most of the time, even in games won at the last second with a buzzer beater, the players acknowledge each other and recognize the excitement of a hard-fought battle. Perhaps, regardless of the outcome in tightly contested races, we can respect the battle, learn from it and come together.

Journalistic scoop takes luck and talent

P

erhaps it was the scoop of the last century, if not one of the most startling stories for any journalist to break. And it was largely dumb luck. In the heart of every dedicated journalist, there beats the ambition to be the first, to author a truly important story that other journalists rush to cover. Being in the right place at the right time is the lucky part. Understanding what is happenBy Leah S. Dunaief ing and communicating it to readers is the talent. Clare Hollingworth, who died this week in Hong Kong at the age of 105, had both on Aug. 28, 1939. She had just been hired on Aug. 25 at the age of 27 as a war correspondent for the British newspaper, The Daily Telegraph.

Between you and me

She flew to Warsaw the next day. Europeans knew that war was near, but the expectation was for later. Hollingworth had managed to get an official car from the British consul general there, and with the Union Jack flying, she drove across the border alone into Germany, presumably for a good look. It was windy that day, and as she drove between Gleiwitz in Germany and Katowice in Poland, a distance of some 20 miles, she looked over at a tarpaulin that the Germans had erected along the shoulder of the road to screen off the valley below. The wind caught the edge just enough for her to catch a glimpse of “large numbers of troops, literally hundreds of tanks, armored cars and field guns” hidden in the valley, as she later wrote. Driving quickly back to Poland, she telephoned her editor the news that was, for her newspaper, a world exclusive on Aug. 29. Despite the insistence of officialdom in Britain that war was weeks away, she revealed otherwise. The Guardian, another British newspaper, called it “prob-

ably the greatest scoop of modern times.” We can just imagine what Hitler called it, hoping, as he likely was, for the element of surprise. On Sept. 1 the Germans invaded Poland. World War II had started. Again Hollingworth was in the right place, and she telephoned her editor that the Germans had crossed the border. Awakened in Katowice, she could see German bombers overhead and artillery fire in the distance. Her editor wasn’t persuaded until she held the phone outside the window and he could hear the German tanks roaring past. She continued to cover the news during WWII from Eastern Europe, the Balkans and North Africa. For her work, she was not given a byline. Few reporters were then. Clare Hollingworth was born in central England to a “well-heeled” British family, according to the obituary in The New York Times. Her father ran the family’s boot and shoe factory, and together they would take trips to historic battlefields in England and France. She visited plenty of battlefields on her own

when she traveled the world for over 40 years as a war correspondent. In addition to the two British newspapers previously mentioned, she also wrote for The International Herald Tribune and The Wall Street Journal. She reported on the Greek and Algerian civil wars, the hostilities at the end of the British mandate in Palestine and the Vietnam War, among other military actions. So keen was her nose for covert information that she was accused by both the British and local governments of being a spy and sometimes arrested. She was one of the first to report regularly from China, covered military action between India and Pakistan and “obtained the first interview with Mohammed Reza Pahlavi after he became the shah of Iran in 1941 and, what was very likely among the last, after he was deposed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979,” according to The Times. She enjoyed other scoops, married twice, endured danger and loved her work. She was rewarded with a long life.
