Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco joined with members of the county’s drug treatment community, program volunteers and county officials to officially kick off the Sheriff’s Addiction Treatment Program wing housed in a newly renovated section of the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Yaphank. The new wing recently replaced the jail’s former DWI initiative, and according to DeMarco, offers a timely and effective treatment course for inmates whose crimi-

nal behavior correlates with an addiction to drugs or alcohol. “The drug epidemic is affecting every community on Long Island and across the nation,” he said. “It impacts individuals, small business, our schools and quality of life. Almost every robbery in recent years can be linked to an opioid addiction, and the Suffolk County Correctional Facility should do all it can to help address this public crisis.” DeMarco has spearheaded other initiatives throughout his tenure. Last year, he launched a Veterans Re-entry POD, and in 2011 he created the Youth Tier Initiative for incarcerated youth.

Bellone launches reclaim water site 146644

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) has announced the launch of a new dedicated website – ReclaimOurWater.info – that will provide residents extensive information about the recently adopted Reclaim Our Water Septic Improvement Program. The program is the first of its kind in the county and is designed to help homeowners fund advanced nitrogen removal septic systems at an affordable rate. By installing advanced wastewater treatment systems, homeowners would in turn play a significant role in the county’s plan to reduce nitrogen pollution and protect Long Island waters. “ReclaimOurWater.info will be a one-stop shop for our residents who want to learn more about the program, how they can sign up and how we can collectively turn the tide to finally reclaim our water,” Bellone said.

“We have taken significant strides in Suffolk County to formulate a comprehensive and realistic plan that reduces the high levels nitrogen in our waters, while making it affordable for homeowners to replace their outdated septic systems and cesspools with some of the most technologically advanced wastewater treatment systems.” ReclaimOurWater.info provides homeowners with financial, regulatory, technical and infrastructure aspects of the program. The website also provides wastewater industry leaders with information pertaining to septic industry training that are in accordance to county law and the county’s recently updated sanitary code. Residents are also encouraged to contact septicdemo@suffolkcountyny. gov with questions pertaining to the program and their current septic or cesspool situation. —Desirée Keegan

East Beach in Port Jefferson is getting smaller due to erosion, according to a consulting firm contracted by the village.

By AlEx PEtroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Port Jefferson Village is shrinking. East Beach, which lies within the parameters of the Port Jefferson Country Club bordering the Long Island Sound, is experiencing erosion that has caused Mayor Margot Garant to take notice and seek assistance in the hopes of reversing the trend. “The Village of Port Jefferson’s shoreline suffered significant structural damage, resulting from multiple state-of-emergency storm events,” said a Jan. 17 letter from GEI Consultants, a privately owned consulting firm, to the village regarding its concerns about erosion. “These storm events appear to be occurring in greater frequency and severity.” Representatives from GEI, the village and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation met on the beach May 26 to examine the area and assess its condition. The village is seeking recommendations from GEI and the DEC so that they can then apply for grants from the state to financially assist in projects that would stabilize an already slumping bluff. “We found that the shoreline erosion has continued to claim significant portions of this recreational area,” the letter said of a Nov. 1, 2016, visit to the beach to view the condition of a bluff that lies below the golf course and adjacent to Port Jefferson Country Club tennis courts and a dune near the mouth of Mount Sinai Harbor. The bottom 15 feet of the bluff had fallen 260 feet west of the rock revetment, a man-made pile built to preserve the eroding shoreline, according to the letter. Dredging of sand from the Mount Sinai Harbor navigation channel could be used to revitalize the eroding shoreline, and GEI also suggested dead trees be removed on the slumping bluff near the borders of the PJCC to relieve some of the weight on the sand. Removal of trees would require a permit from the DEC. “These two actions are critical for long

term coastal management of this beachfront,” the January letter said, referring to dredging and the eventual repair of a jetty near the mouth of Mount Sinai Harbor, which is owned by the Town of Brookhaven. “In the meantime, East Beach will continue to erode unless stopgap measures are implemented.” Aphrodite Montalvo, a representative from the DEC’s office of communication services, addressed the May 26 meeting in an emailed statement. “DEC and GEI have met to discuss erosion issues in the area, as well as options for, and alternatives to erosion control,” she said. “DEC does not currently have any pending permit applications from GEI for the vicinity of East Beach.” The department referred further questions about the matter to GEI or the village. The village installed a ramp in May 2016 from the road to the sand at the end of Village Beach Road, the road that leads to the waterfront through the country club, which is becoming exposed at its base due to the eroding sand, according to Garant. GEI representatives said the erosion issues had gotten worse since previous checks during the winter and fall. The mayor added she plans to go after grant money from the county, state and federal government in the hopes of sharing the cost of potential repairs. GEI and Garant reiterated that the repair of the Brookhaven-owned jetty would be the first step in alleviating the beach’s erosion issues. In September 2016, Brookhaven committed nearly $6 million in funding to go toward the jetty repair. At the time, Brookhaven hoped Port Jeff Village would contribute dollars for the repairs, because according to Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) the village would receive a direct benefit from the fix, but Garant has yet to show an inclination to do so. The repairs are expected to begin sometime during 2017. The total cost of the repairs is expected to be about $8 million, with grant money secured by state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) also going toward the project.

Village Amid difficult challenges, village trustees and mayor running unopposed By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com The terms of two Port Jefferson Village board trustees and the mayor are up this year and an election awaits them June 20, but in a race devoid of actual opponents, those up for reelection have opposition in the form of difficult, long-range challenges to square off against instead. Barring a groundswell of support for a potential write-in candidate, incumbent trustees Stanley Loucks and Larry LaPointe, as well as incumbent Mayor Margot Garant know they’ll be serving the community for another two-year term after the election. Garant will embark on her fifth term in office, while Loucks is set to begin his second and LaPointe his fourth. With long-term issues looming, like large-scale apartment developments and an ongoing legal battle with the Long Island Power Authority, Garant said a focus of her first four terms has been to bolster the village’s sources of revenue in any way possible. Beautification projects funded in large part by state and county grants are underway in upper Port, the area surrounding the Long Island Railroad station, in an effort to get blighted and vacant properties back on the village’s tax roll and attract private investors to build in the area. “I really wanted to make sure that we … had a beautiful new gateway on the south side of the village that made you feel like you were entering the village of Port Jefferson in upper Port,” Garant said. “I think we owe that to the upper Port community.” Loucks, who serves as the board’s liaison to the village-owned Port Jefferson Country Club and to the village’s recreation department, said his focus has been on improving and building up each of those village assets in the hopes of attracting members and village participation — another source of village revenue. About $100,000 of tax dollars were invested to improve the golf course’s village-owned grill room, which Loucks said is now an asset for the club. “This year alone our membership, for the first time since I’ve been involved … is up,” Loucks said during the May 25 interview. “We’ve had a decline in membership over the past 10 years. Approximately 50

members per year on average have left us either through attrition or they’ve passed away or they’ve moved away or gone to other clubs. This year we’re up.” LaPointe, the deputy mayor, was someone Garant pointed to as a possible successor when she decides to step away. “I’m happy to see Margot in that chair because I think she’s been a wonderful mayor,” he said in an interview. “I get a lot of personal satisfaction out of this and that’s why I continue to do it.” All three incumbents surmised that a lack of challengers could serve as proof residents are happy with the job the board is doing. Garant explained that the platform of the Unity Party, the name the three have attributed to their joint ticket, is to do what’s best for the community. The result has been a board that has a positive and productive rapport, according to Garant. “We may not always agree, but we’ll always be able to listen. We’ll try and compromise, but largely we’re not on opposite pages,” she said. “I think if you put your self-interests aside and say, ‘What’s

in the best interest of the village?’ we’ll all get there together. I think that that’s how we survived.” Trustee Bruce Miller, who Garant said tends to have differing opinions from the rest of the board at times, said in a phone interview he wished his colleagues faced some opposition because it would be a chance for different viewpoints from the community to be brought to the forefront. “There are some ideas that I have, but there’s nobody to bring these ideas forth,” he said. “I’m not completely thrilled, but at some level it does reflect some contentment in what’s going on.” He reiterated that the working relationship within the board is overwhelmingly positive. Bruce D’Abramo, the fifth member of the board, said in an email he fully supports Garant, Loucks and LaPointe in their reelection bids. LaPointe expressed a similar sentiment regarding varying viewpoints from residents being heard and represented. “I think in a way it’s a disadvantage because when we run with an opponent, which we’ve done several times, it forces us to take the time to go and knock on doors, and the last time we found that very, very fruitful,” he said. “I want to talk to some people other than the people who typically come to board meetings.” Each of the three candidates expressed a desire to see solutions to some of the more difficult problems through to the end before stepping aside. A lawsuit is currently pending that includes the village and the Port Jefferson School District as plaintiffs against LIPA, associated with the power authority’s desire to pay less in property taxes at sites like the Port Jefferson power plant because of its condition and infrequent use. The village and district receive substantial amounts of revenue from property taxes

because of the presence of the plant. Garant said in an interview in her office May 25 the village will continue to build up its unencumbered fund balance as a savings to use in the event a settlement is reached between the two parties that results in a loss of revenue for the village. The plan is to reach an agreement with LIPA with a gradual reduction in their property taxes, should the village’s first choice of repowering the plant not happen. In addition, three apartment complexes in the village are at various stages of completion, which will in total result in nearly 300 new living spaces for new village residents. The expansion is expected to stimulate local businesses, but could wreak havoc on the school district should renters with school-aged children flood the homes, with little gain in property tax revenue because of financial assistance agreements reached between the property developers and the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency. The village will receive PILOTs, or payments in lieu of taxes, for 15 years instead of actual property tax revenue thanks to the agreements. For example, The Shipyard apartment complex being constructed by TRITEC Development Group, across from Port Jefferson Harbor on the corner of East Broadway and Barnum Avenue, would net the village about $49,000 in property tax revenue in 2025, according to Garant. Thanks to the agreement, the PILOT payments in that year will amount to about $3,000. Garant estimated the losses for the village to exceed a half a million dollars by 2030. She said she and the board opposed the agreement between the Suffolk IDA and TRITEC. However, building permits and other fees written into the village code will serve to offset a small portion of those costs, Garant added. Increased traffic and the sheer size of the projects have also caused angst among some longtime village residents.

League of Women Voters navigates tense political climate By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com In an increasingly polarized and heated political climate, a historic, nonpartisan, multi-issue grassroots organization is doing its best to remain focused on important matters. Representatives from the League of Women Voters of Brookhaven, a local “league” or chapter of a nationwide organization, discussed their mission amid today’s politics during a May interview. The League of Women Voters of the United States was formed after the 19th Amendment was passed, with the purpose of informing women about the issues by studying both sides of each question and coming to an agreement on what they would support. The Shoreham-Wading River League was started in 1934 and others in South Brookhaven and North Brookhaven were formed in 1949. Shoreham-Wading River and North Brookhaven merged in 1960, then the North and South Brookhaven Leagues merged in 1979, to form the present-day League of Women Voters of Brookhaven. The various leagues do not endorse any candidates running for office but instead select several important issues to local voters and carefully establish league positions on them. They also monitor government activities on all levels in the hopes of presenting facts to the public. “We don’t ask what party you’re with, we

don’t ask your nationality, we’re very careful to be in support of issues and we don’t discuss candidates or parties or anything like that,” Joan Nickeson, a three-year member of the Brookhaven League said. Issues on the league’s agenda for the current year include a desire to reform campaign finance, defending the environment, reforming immigration policy to establish a path to citizenship, ensuring access to affordable health care for all Americans and many more. The agenda for the National League is established from the ground up, with local leagues brainstorming important issues and positions on those issues. The Brookhaven League, which currently has 67 members — including two men — has public board meetings once a month, 10 months per year. There are also two yearly public meetings, one in the spring and one in the fall, to discuss issues and establish positions. The league also produces and distributes pamphlets with lists of elected officials in all levels of government, helps people register to vote and overall strives to inform voters above all else. Nancy Marr the current president of the Brookhaven league and a member of the various Suffolk County versions since 1954 said the goal is to examine both sides of issues before taking a stance. However, Marr said she could see the league getting slightly bolder in their positions should they ever see fit.

are crazy and not thoughtful,” Baker said. Nickeson reiterated that there are other grassroots activist organizations out there for people interested in creating controversy or boldly attacking or endorsing specific candidates. The league plans to remain a steady, guiding example of issue-first political conversation. “I think we’re so concerned about our integrity,” Nickeson said.

conducted by music teachers Christine Creighton and Christian Neubert, performed several pieces for a panel of adjudicators, who evaluated them on quality of performance and level of musicianship. The Port Jefferson School District congratulates the student-musicians on their outstanding performances.

During the course of three sessions, Earl L. Vandermeulen High School seniors learned about the dangers of distracted driving through a Stony Brook University program. During the sessions, the students heard from speakers, watched an informational video and took part in interactive activities, including attempting to walk while distracted by their phones and driving using a driving simulator. “The goal of the program is to emphasize to students the importance of paying attention to the road while driving and to recognize the danger that exists when distracted,” said Danielle Turner, director of health, physical education and athletics.

Obituary By Thomas IrvIne Olga Zilboorg, who taught generations of cello students in the Three Villages and Port Jefferson for more than 50 years, died surrounded by friends and music, April 22. She was 83 years old. Zilboorg grew up in Mexico City, where she began cello lessons at the age of nine. Her values as a musician and a person, never separate, were formed by her remarkable teachers there, many of them émigrés from persecution and war in Europe. It was her mission for the rest of her life to live what she learned from them and pass it on to younger generations. She moved to the United States to

study, first at the University of Kansas and then at the Manhattan School of Music. After graduation she joined the St. Louis Symphony. She was one of the first women to play full time in a major U.S. symphony orchestra. While in St. Louis she was a member of the St. Louis Piano Trio, with whom she toured in the off-season to every corner of the U.S., including remote small towns from the Texas panhandle to backwoods Vermont. She left St. Louis to pursue a solo career. After well-received debuts in London, Amsterdam and Vienna, she returned to New York. She worked as a freelancer, spending a memorable year in the pit orchestra of the hit musical “Hello Dolly!” In 1965 she married Thomas Irvine Jr., who taught engineering at Stony Brook University. She was to make her home here for 52 years, first in Stony Brook and then Port Jefferson. She soon began a private cello studio. For more than 50 years she taught hundreds of local children.

She was involved in musical life at SBU from the beginning. During the years, says Peter Winkler, professor emeritus of music, “Olga has become a central figure in our musical community, both the community around the Stony Brook music department and the larger community of musicians and teachers throughout the North Shore and eastern Long Island. What is particularly important to us here at Stony Brook is how she served as a bridge and a connector between these communities.” She was an early faculty member of the Stony Brook pre-college music program, and took generations of graduate students in the music department under her wing as helpers in her own teaching, accompanists, musical partners and friends. Throughout her years of teaching she remained active as a performer, giving recitals both locally and further afield, including in Mexico, Yugoslavia and the then-Soviet Union. She was a founder of

the North Shore Pro Musica, performed often on the East End and played regularly with the Long Island Philharmonic. In 2009, on her retirement from teaching, she received the Town of Brookhaven Office of Women’s Services Visual and Performing Arts Award. That year the New York State Senate passed a resolution honoring her for “her community service, constructive involvement, constant dignity, good grace and humor.” Her retirement was short-lived. Even if her last years were overshadowed by illness, she was never without at least a few informal students or a musical project of some kind. She played the cello herself until the last weeks of her life. She is survived by her daughter Tatiana Irvine; son Thomas Irvine; stepdaughters Jill Irvine, Phoebe Irvine and Sadi Delaney; nieces Peggy Schaeffer, Jennifer Fiess and Cathy Foster; nephews Jimmy and Ricky Cato; and three grandchildren — Hannah, Emmy and Bastian Irvine. Thomas Irvine is Zilboorg’s son.

County

Suffolk County district attorney candidates emerging By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewsmedia.com On the heels of Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota’s (D) decision to forgo a run at Page A26 a fifth term this November, two Republicans and a Democrat, each longtime law enforcers, so far are publicly vying for the county’s top prosecutor job. Spota, who assumed office in 2001, made his official announcement May 12, about a year after County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and several legislators called on him to resign from his position after playing a role in the promotion of former Suffolk County Chief of Police James Burke, who pleaded guilty in February 2016 to charges of a civil rights violation and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Accused of taking part in a police cover-up, which spurred on a federal investigation, Spota has been under scrutiny from both sides of the aisle for the last year. It is not clear whether or not that played a role in his decision. With Spota out of the race, the torch will be passed on to a newcomer, of which there are three known contenders eyeing the seat — Ray Perini (R), former chief and founder of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Narcotics Bureau; Bill Ferris (R), a Vietnam veteran and former assistant district attorney; and Tim Sini (D), current Suffolk County police commissioner — according to the Suffolk County Board of Elections. Each of them, as well as any others who decide to throw their hat in the ring, are expected to file petitions between July 10 and July 13. Perini, 69, a Huntington resident, who entered the race in January, said he’s been training his entire career to be district attorney and wants to “take politics out of the DA’s office.” “At this point in my career, I don’t want anything else,” Perini said. “I don’t want to be county executive, I don’t want to be governor,

From left, Bill Ferris, Tim Sini and Ray Perini are currently the three known candidates for Suffolk County district attorney. I don’t want to be judge ... I want to be the next DA because I can make this county safe again.” A highly experienced criminal lawyer with an active practice in Islandia, Perini has 43 years of experience in the criminal justice system, 17 of which were spent as a prosecutor bouncing from Brooklyn to Suffolk County, where he started the Narcotics Bureau in 1976. In 1989, he went on to work with federal and state police agencies, including Suffolk County Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI and drug task forces. He served as co-chair of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association’s criminal law committee and is a past president of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association. “There is nothing I haven’t done in the criminal justice system,” Perini said. His major focuses if elected, he said, are gang violence and drug overdoses. “As a united front, working with the federal government, DEA, FBI and cops on the street, collectively, we can win this war [against drugs]. We need experience, this is what I’ve done, this is what I can do. All I care about is getting the job done.” Perini ran unsuccessfully against Spota four years ago after the incumbent was crossendorsed on all four party lines, for which Perini attacked Spota for not giving voters a

choice at the polls. “I wouldn’t accept a cross-endorsement,” the father of two said. “I want the voters to pick.” Ferris, 70, a former Navy captain in the Vietnam war and Fordham Law School graduate from Southold, announced recently his intention to run against Perini, the choice of the Republican Party for the September primary. “I want to restore the integrity and professionalism to the office, as well as faith in the judicial system and also in law enforcement,” Ferris, who served as prosecutor for 23 years under former Suffolk District Attorney Patrick Henry starting in 1978, said. “My background is clear and clean. I was in that office for 23 years and handled homicide, vehicular homicide, served on the Katie Beers [kidnapping] matter, tried a political corruption case against county sheriff Patrick Mahoney, served as president of the Suffolk County Bar Association recently, have taught young lawyers ethics and served on the Grievance Committee for Nassau and Suffolk for eight years.” He said anyone who runs for the DA position has to have a clean record of integrity, accountability and professionalism, all of which the father of two said he has. Among his biggest priority if elected, he said, is getting a handle on the gang situation that has left Suffolk residents feeling unsafe. “I’ll protect the citizens, fight the gangs and give us back our good name,” Ferris said in a statement. “While I was in the DA office, we did have a gang unit, which was discounted under Mr. Spota … The DA’s office is in a critical position to bring in federal agency, state, and local police to put together a master plan to both investigate and prosecute gang members.

happen in Suffolk County.” Sini, 36, the youngest commissioner in the history of Suffolk County, announced his official run for the job on the same day Spota made his announcement, despite a claim in front of the county legislature in February 2016 before he was confirmed that he had no intentions of running for district attorney. “I think that when he said that he wouldn’t run, he meant what he said,” said David Kelley, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and chairman of Sini’s campaign. “Since then, a couple things have happened. Having the insight he does on the needs of the DA’s office and how the shape it’s in is so bad and such a disservice to the county, he could see that firsthand from his vantage point as commissioner from taking on difficult cases like MS-13, recognizing this office needs somebody who can be really good ... he stepped up to the plate and I think that’s exactly what we need.” Sini, who did not return multiple requests for comment through Kelley, has taken on the county’s gang violence and drug problem head-on in his short time in his position. He recently spoke before the U.S. Senate to outline the departments initiatives in tackling the county’s gang problem. “If you take his commitments to public service and his professionalism, and put it together, he, by far, surpasses any of the other candidates and I think he’s exactly what the county needs,” Kelley said. “He’s a professional prosecutor, he’s spent a good part of his career in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, he’s clerked for a federal judge, he’s a highly skilled and highly trained lawyer and prosecutor, and he also knows the ins and outs of the criminal justice system in Suffolk County.”

Schumer: We must choke off the source of fentanyl By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com One U.S. senator is hoping to cut off the flow of fentanyl to the many New York residents struggling with drug addiction. U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) announced support for a plan that would stop supplies of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than heroin and is not commonly reversed by Narcan, a lifesaving overdose drug, because of how quickly it enters the brain. The drug has come from China, Mexico and other countries into New York City and across the United States. Schumer also publicly decried a just-revealed White House plan to gut the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s budget by 95 percent. “President Trump’s nonsensical proposal is the most destructive contribution he’s made yet to the fight against the opioid and heroin epidemic, and another clear sign he has no intention of keeping the promises he’s made to the American people,” Schumer said in a statement. “While candidate Trump pledged to ‘take care’ of Americans struggling with addiction and spend the money to succeed, his proposal to eliminate funding for programs, such as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and Drug-Free Communities — which are instrumental in aiding local enforcement drug trafficking in many communities in New York, at the southern border and elsewhere — would effectively kick Americans seeking treatment to the curb and make our communities less safe.” In 2017, the office received $388 million, and under the Trump (R) administration’s proposal, the office would receive $24 million in 2018. The Office of National Drug Control Policy, which was authorized in 1988 with bipartisan support, currently directs the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, the Drug Free Communities Program, anti-doping activities and the World Anti-Doping Agency. The proposed budget plan would also completely zero out the Drug-Free Communities and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas programs, which provide substantial support to treatment, prevention and enforcement efforts on the ground.

‘These deadly substances are being delivered to our homes, being sold on our streets and destroying our families. We know how they get here and where they come from, now we need to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the resources to stop this flood and help save lives.’ — Chuck Schumer

U.s. sen. and senate Minority Leader Chuck schumer, above, supports legislation that will help stop the supply of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid much stronger than heroin, below right, from entering the United states. Fentanyl overdoses are not commonly reversed by narcan, seen administered on a dummy during a training session, below left, because fentanyl is extremely potent and short-acting. “Senate Democrats will never vote to defund these vital programs, and I know there are many colleagues across the aisle who feel likewise,” he said. “I urge the President and Republicans in Congress to reject this proposal immediately.” With fentanyl continuing its sprint onto the streets of New York City and Long Island, Schumer also launched a major push for the International Narcotics Trafficking Emergency Response by Detecting Incoming Contraband with Technology Act. The senator noted the bill is even more important now, with the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s funding on the chopping block. “Fentanyl-laced heroin is devastating our communities and law enforcement needs to utilize every tool and technology to stop the flow of this deadly poison,” Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement. “The act will help law enforcement prevent fentanyl and other synthetic opioids from entering the country and will be a great asset in our efforts to dismantle the networks of traffickers and dealers who

are fueling lethal heroin addictions.” The Schumer-backed bill, introduced by U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts), would give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the hi-tech tools and resources needed to improve detection capabilities and increase the seizure of illicit fentanyl shipped to the U.S. from abroad through mail and express consignment carriers. Schumer said he would work with his colleagues to take action on this issue that is destroying families in New York and the rest of the country, and do everything in his power to prevent Trump’s proposal to cut funds. “These deadly substances are being delivered to our homes, being sold on our streets and destroying our families,” Schumer said. “We know how they get here and where they come from, now we need to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the resources to stop this flood and help save lives.” Although pharmaceutical fentanyl can be misused, most of the fentanyl being sold on the street is illicitly manufactured. While distributors in China are the principal source of the precursor chemicals used to manufacture the drug, as well as a source for finished-product illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, Mexico is the primary source for illicit fentanyl smuggled into the United States. Fentanyl suppliers then use methods to mislabel shipments or conceal them inside legitimate goods in order to avoid Customs and Border Protection detection. In 2016, nearly 200 pounds of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids were seized, primarily from along the southwest border. This is a 25-fold increase of seizures in 2015. In 2015, 753 people died of an opioid overdose and, as of April, that number was projected to hit 1,075 for 2016. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene says fentanyl is driving overdose death increases in New York City and is increasingly present in deaths from drug overdoses. There were 303 opioid-related deaths

in Suffolk County in 2016, including 171 related to fentanyl. In Nassau County, there were 190 opioid-related deaths in 2016, including 62 related to fentanyl. “Fentanyl is now killing more Long Islanders than even heroin is, and we know it’s only a matter of time before the next deadly synthetic opioid hits the streets,” said Jeffrey Reynolds, president and chief executive officer of the Family and Children’s Association, a not-for-profit agency that helps protect and strengthen vulnerable children, seniors, families and communities on Long Island. “As substance abuse prevention specialists and addiction treatment professionals work to reduce the demand for drugs, the act will help reduce the supply of synthetic opioids flooding across our borders, into our homes, schools and communities. This legislation is critical as we continue to battle an unrelenting opioid and heroin crisis.”

town Recognizing service members at SBU’s LI State Veterans Home By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com

Elected officials, religious leaders, volunteers and residents gathered at the Long Island State Veterans Home on the campus of Stony Brook University May 26 to give thanks to a roomful of United States military veterans. The annual ceremony, which includes a color guard, firing detail and wreath laying, honors the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country — whose brothers and sisters in arms reside at the home on campus. The Long Island State Veterans Home is dedicated to serving the more than 250,000 veterans who live on Long Island. Opened 26 years ago, the facility’s relationship with Stony Brook Medicine has been a winning combination for the care of veterans — providing skilled nursing services to which many veterans wouldn’t otherwise have access. Veterans who fought in Vietnam, Korea and even World War II sat together in the home’s Multipurpose Room, some of them tearful as singer Lee Ann Brill performed moving renditions of “Amazing Grace” and Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings.” Marine Corps veteran Edward Kiernan read “In Flanders Fields,” a famous war memorial poem written during World War I. Korean War veteran Richard Seybold was honorary bearer of the wreath. “Every minute of every hour of every day, Americans enjoy the blessings of a peace-lov-

ing nation — blessings protected by the selfless service of men and women in uniform,” Fred Sganga, executive director of the veterans home, said to the crowd. “The America we know would not be the same were it not for the men and women we honor on Memorial Day ... a single day during which we honor the spirit of all those who died in service to our nation, but whom we continue to remember and honor in our hearts.” Stressing the holiday means much more than a three-day weekend, Sganga recognized the collective shift in thinking. “In recent years,” he said, “a new awareness of the sacrifices our military members are making is emerging, becoming an ingrained part of our American experience.” State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who delivered the keynote address, read excerpts from President Ronald Reagan’s (R) 1984 address commemorating the 40th anniversary of D-Day. “President Reagan said, ‘Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here ... you were young the day you took these cliffs, some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet, you risked everything here. Why? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for selfpreservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? ... It was faith and belief; it was loyalty and love. All of you loved liberty, all of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew people of your countries were behind you.’”

Rally calls for legislator’s support of Child Victims Act By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com North Shore residents gathered at New York State Sen. John Flanagan’s (R-East Northport) office in May calling on him to bring the New York Child Victims Act bill to the floor for a vote. The bill would eliminate criminal and civil statutes of limitation for child sexual abuse, and provide a one-time, one-year window in the statute of limitations to enable victims whose claim was time-barred by the current arbitrary limitations to revive their claim. Versions of the Child Victims Act bill have been circulating for the past few years in the state assembly and the state senate, but have never made it to the floor for a vote. “It’s important to me, as a survivor of child sexual abuse, to see that this act passes,” Gary Greenberg, one of the participants at the rally this past weekend and the founder of Fighting For Children PAC, said in a phone interview. “It’s important not just for myself but for future generations of children. We need this act to help keep predators off the street. The look back period would help with that.” In New York, once victims turn 23 they can no longer make a case for child abuse against the predator in question. According to research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before the age of 18. In addition, the National Center for Victims of Crime said 14 percent of sexual offenders commit another sexual offense after five years, and 24 percent after 15 years. The National Sex Offender Public Website stated children usually delay telling someone if they have been sexually abused because they are either afraid of a negative reaction from their parents or of being harmed by the abuser. The website, which provides a free, nationwide database of sex offenders, indicated kids often “delay disclosure until adulthood.” Greenberg said critics of the bill cite the chance victims may forget the face of their abuser if they’re identified years later or provide false claims, or the courts will become overburdened with cases. “It’s very painful to come out and do something like that. People should have that opportunity,” he said. “The majority of sexual abuse cases for children occur with family members or close friends, and you remember who they are for life.” Greenberg shared details of his personal incident. A hospital orderly, where his father was getting treated, tried to assault him while taking him on a tour of the hospital. He and his family had no luck with finding or charging him, until 30 years later when he saw his face on television for other sexual assault cases. “You can’t say people forget, you don’t,” he said. “As a survivor, we feel our souls were murdered.” Flanagan said during his re-election campaign last year he agreed it’s a serious issue but didn’t support the oneyear opener. “This is a one-year opener that could bring cases going back 40, 50, 60 years,” he said. “We have statutes of limitations for very cogent reasons and no matter how emotional a subject may be, witness availability, evidence, all those things have a salutary effect in terms of what happens.” When questioned again last week by reporters, Flanagan said he’s open to discussions about the bill. “We continue to have internal discussions on that, and I know there have been steps taken outside by the Catholic Church and the Assembly has their own versions,” he said. “It’s not just isolated to one bill. I’ve talked to Senator Lanza, to Assemblyman Cusick, and to a lot of our colleagues, and I’m comfortable that we are continuing to work on those issues. You don’t always have to have a hearing to get something done.” The bill was a priority in the campaign of Flanagan’s 2016 challenger for his state senate seat, Peter Magistrale (D.)

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

Tim Sini has stabilized what was a seriously unstable situation. The former prosecutor turned Suffolk County police commissioner took over following former commissioner James Burke’s arrest and ultimate sentencing for unjustly beating a man who stole a duffle bag from his sport utility vehicle and overhauled the department. Sini, a democrat, brought back the public’s faith in the police. He announced last week that he will run for Suffolk County district attorney. Since his role began in 2015, he has helped expand Crime Stopper’s reach to include a tip hotline; rolled out the 631-852-NARC (6272) number where residents can anonymously report drug dealings; unveiled The Ugly Truth program, which raise awareness about and informs parents of the signs of substance abuse, as well as explains the physical and emotional consequences of using drugs; and helped train 3,000 people to administer Narcan, an opioid overdose reversal drug. Sini also reported last year was the safest year in the department’s history, with crime statistics dropping to an all-time low. The current commissioner’s reign has also brought in a period of increased transparency, holding press events sometimes multiple times a week for updates on cases, constantly refreshing the department’s Facebook page with videos and information about arrests, and encouraging residents to get involved by submitting tips that have successfully lead to many arrests. In two short years Sini has made his mark on the Suffolk County Police Department, and it’s a shame to see the captain leave the ship, especially at a time when steady leadership is needed most, as MS13 gang violence has garnered national attention in recent months, as with the opioid and fentanyl crisis. It’s unclear who would replace Sini if he is elected this November, but he or she will certainly have big shoes to fill. And on a side note, we have heard concerns about Sini running for office while continuing to work as commissioner. It’s our opinion that if the president of this country can run for re-election while continuing to serve, a local police commissioner should have no problem doing the same.

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

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

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

Fred S. Sganga Executive Director Long Island State Veterans Home

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

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

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

OpiniOn Taking old routines to new destinations

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

D. None of the above

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

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

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

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

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

Home sweet home into old age

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

Between you and me

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

Warriors battle to the end in semifinal loss By Bill landon Despite leading by three goals entering the fourth quarter — giving the No. 2-seeded Eastport-South Manor boys’ lacrosse team a run for its money — No. 6 visiting Comsewogue was outscored 6-1 in the final 12 minutes, to fall 10-8 in the Suffolk County Class B semifinals May 26. It wasn’t an easy road for the Warriors, which made the postseason with a 6-8 record in league play, and got in because

of power points earned against top-seeded teams, according to athletic director Matt DeVincenzo. But Comsewogue showed resiliency and knocked off No. 3 Harborfields with a 6-5 win May 18, and continued to battle through the bracket Friday. Sophomore Sean Kennedy got things going for the Warriors when he spotted Nick Donnelly jumping out front from behind the cage, and flicked the ball to the junior who buried his shot. But the Sharks answered back quickly. Kennedy found senior Ryan Dorney on the cut minutes later, but again Eastport-South Manor had an answer. Sophomore Tom Heller — making 11 saves on the day — had his hands full protecting the net, and prevented several shots from passing him by to keep the score tied, 2-2, heading into the second quarter. Senior Will Snelders ripped a shot from 35 feet out to put his team out front, and junior Richie Lacalandra, off a feed from Dorney, helped extend the lead. The Warriors kept attacking and Snelders sent a pass to junior Sean Power, who was able to redirect the ball to the back of the cage off a flick pass for a 5-2 advantage with 7:51 left in the first half. Some 20 seconds later, the Sharks’ Brandon Stiles sent a shot just inside the pipes, but the Warriors stymied any attempt at a comeback, as Lacalandra and Snelders scored unassisted goals to put Comsewogue up 7-3 with two minutes left in the quarter. “Everybody doubted us all year,” Comsewogue head coach Pete Mitchell said. “We didn’t get a lot of accolades — we’re just a group of blue-collar kids — and I’m proud of them.” Eastport-South Manor’s Ryan Weiss scored with 31 seconds on the clock to cut the deficit to three goals by the break at 7-4. After

discussions with their coaches, two different teams entered play in the third quarter, as the defenses battled to a stalemate. Things changed drastically in the fourth with Eastport-South Manor’s Tom Szalkowski ending the scoring drought in the opening minutes, and teammate James Sherwood split the pipes 20 seconds later to pull within one goal, 7-6. Kennedy found Donnelly again on a cut across the cage for a Warriors’ insurance goal, 8-6, but the Sharks wiped it away by tallying four unanswered goals off faceoff wins. “The faceoff ‘X’ was bad in the fourth quarter — we made a couple of mistakes clearing the ball,” Mitchell said. The head coach put the blame on himself for the 10-8 outcome.

“That’s on me,” he said. “As the coach, to not make an adjustment on the faceoff when I could have ...
