This year, forecasters predict an abovenormal hurricane season in the Atlantic. Hurricanes and tropical storms can cause serious damage to coastal and inland areas, including storm surge, heavy rainfall, coastal and inland flooding, high winds and tornadoes.

To help Long Islanders prepare for these types of storms, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) hosted a seminar with representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, American Red Cross and Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services Aug. 28 at Brookhaven Town Hall to provide information to help residents prepare for, stay safe during and recover from hurricane storm systems. Residents also learned more about how these organizations measure, track and forecast hurricane activity.

“As we are witnessing in Texas with Hurricane Harvey, it is vitally important to be as

prepared as possible in the case of a hurricane or tropical storm,” Zeldin said. “New Yorkers unfortunately know this all too well. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit New York hard and devastated our coastal communities and businesses on Long Island, leaving mass destruction in its wake. The common message among all of the presentations was: Be prepared. The key is to be informed, make a plan, build an emergency kit and get involved.”

Hurricane Tips: •Put together a go-bag of disaster supplies •Trim or remove damaged trees and limbs and clean gutters to keep your property safe •Cover windows/install storm shutters •Review evacuation routes •Charge cellphones in advance •Set family emergency communication plan •Purchase generator or create a safe room For more on how to best prepare in the event of a hurricane, visit www.ready.gov/hurricanes.

Brookhaven supports NYS lawsuit against EPA Supervisor Ed Romaine voices support for a state lawsuit against the EPA Aug. 28.

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is picking a fight with the federal government, and as of Aug. 28, he officially has backup.

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), joined by town board members, environmentalists and State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), announced the town’s support of a lawsuit filed

by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) Aug. 17 against the United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding the open dumping of dredged materials in the Long Island Sound. The lawsuit alleges the Long Island Sound Dredge Material Management Plan, which was approved by the EPA, violates the Ocean Dumping Act

Cuomo opposed the additional materials, some of which are con-

taminated by pollutants.

Though a spokesperson for the EPA declined via email to comment on ongoing litigation, an April 2016 statement from the agency spelled out the motivation for continued dumping in the Sound.

“Dredging is needed to ensure safe navigation in the sound,” EPA spokesman John Martin said in an email to Times Beacon Record News Media. He added the agency felt the proposal struck “an appropriate balance between the need for dredging to maintain safe and efficient navigation and our desired outcome to restore and protect Long Island Sound.”

Kevin McAllister, the president of Defend H2O, a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and restoring the quality of Long Island’s waterways, spoke in support of the town during the press conference.

“We’re spending billions of dollars on water quality improvements and the open water dumping of contaminated silt flies in the face of these efforts,” he said.

Representatives from the nonprofits Sierra Club Long Island and the Setauket Harbor Task Force also pledged support in opposition of the plan.

Englebright offered a suggestion for an alternative to the continued dumping.

“It is ironic that at a time when we’re watching a terrible hurricane devastating the great state of Texas and reflecting on the reality that sea

level is rising, that the federal government is proposing to take a vast amount of sediment that will be needed to bulwark our coastal investments, our coastal communities from a rising sea level to augment our beaches with that sediment, to take it instead and use it in the most harmful possible way,” Englebright said. He added the dumping is “radicalizing the ecology” of the waterway, saying the sediment could be needed and should be used to strengthen coastlines. Englebright cited a deadly 1953 storm in the Netherlands that inspired the same fortification he proposed, a practice that nation has continued since.

Brookhaven Town Council members Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) and Jane Bonner (CRocky Point) also voiced support for the lawsuit. Romaine said he had been in contact with 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) regarding the town’s support of the lawsuit, and Romaine said the congressman is strongly opposed to dumping in the Sound.

Zeldin has sponsored bills designed to improve the health of the Sound in the past.

“The Long Island Sound shouldn’t be a dumping ground, especially when there are many viable alternatives to open water dumping, including recycling and safe disposal on land,” Zeldin said in an emailed statement through spokeswoman Jennifer DiSiena.

From Aug. 24 to 27, the grounds at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption on Sheep Pasture Road in Port Jefferson were filled with vendors selling Greek art and jewelry, carnival rides, happy faces and a whole lot of food for the 56th annual Greek Festival.

Residents chowed down on gyros, moussaka, souvlaki and spanakopita while kids took to the merry-go-round and giant slide. Guided tours of the church and grand raffle prizes were available throughout the weekend, and Greek music from the festival could be heard for miles.

Zeldin talks Trump and more during exclusive interview

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com From the podium at The Emporium in Patchogue Nov. 8, 2016 after his race against Anna Throne Holst (D-Southampton) was officially called and his near-20point victory was secured, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said he was looking forward to the opportunity to “make America great again.”

Zeldin has become synonymous with President Donald Trump (R) locally, and though he said during an exclusive interview with the Times Beacon Record News Media editorial board he still supports the president, just short of 10 months removed from his re-election, Zeldin also said he is not a “proxy” for Trump, or anyone else.

During the 90-minute interview, the congressman preached bipartisanship, addressed the future of health care, discussed Trump’s Twitter account and inflammatory speeches like the one he made in Arizona Aug. 22, criticized the president for his response to the Charlottesville, Virginia, protest and addressed the state of his support for Trump going forward.

“I don’t give anyone my proxy.”

Despite being a strong supporter of Trump during their parallel 2016 campaigns, Zeldin had a strong response when asked if the president had his unequivocal support.

“I don’t give anyone my proxy,” Zeldin said, though he did say he supports the president and wants him to be successful.

He added if he had to vote for Trump again today, he ultimately would. “It’s not 2020, but if you asked me Aug. 25 of 2017 if I was casting a vote right now and he was running unopposed, yeah. If he was running against someone else and there was a compelling reason to go some other direction, then you factor into it.”

Zeldin pushed back on the perception of a large group of his constituents who believe he is the local embodiment of Trump. He cited several examples in which he has been critical of the president, including when Trump made a Holocaust remembrance statement that made no reference to Jewish people, or when he voted in line with many House Democrats against a bill that would roll back internet privacy protections, which Trump ultimately signed into law.

The congressman also reiterated a statement he has made publicly in the past, that the meeting between Donald Trump Jr., other members of the Trump administration and people with ties to the Russian government alleging they had damaging material on Hillary Clinton in June 2016 should have never taken place.

“If you really wanted to ask yourself, is this guy just going to be or has he been some proxy or some stooge who is refusing to say where he disagrees, you would have to ignore like 20 different examples where it’s not even taking my word for it, this is stuff that I’ve said on national TV,” Zeldin said. He surmised the perception he is too tightly connected to Trump comes from people who can’t wait for the day Trump is no longer in office.

Zeldin added although he disagreed

“There are people who think nothing has gotten done.”

Zeldin pushed back on the idea that partisan gridlock, which has long characterized the country’s perception of Congress, is getting worse or is being amplified

by Trump. He said bills are being passed and bipartisan discussions are being had everyday by members of the House.

“People have this perception that when the House is in session and we’re all on the floor together that it’s an old school Aaron Burr duel taking place amongst all members all the time,” he said. “Where everyone’s basically literally trying to kill each other on the floor.”

Zeldin said he isn’t going to sugarcoat it, or try to make the discussions sound all rosy. He pointed to the over 50 bills passed since Trump has taken office as proof of Republicans and Democrats working together to get things done.

He said these topics tend to get overshadowed by what is broadcasted on TV news.

“People get very discouraged when you put on the news and you’re only coming in contact with bad news,” Zeldin said. “It’s almost like [it’s] not even newsworthy to talk about what got done that day. What’s newsworthy is what may be the biggest, most dramatic confrontation or battle that might be going on. That’s the news everyday.”

He attributed heated political rhetoric and the notion Congress is struggling to work together to the business model of the three major 24-hour cable news stations — CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. “The information they’re coming in contact with is deliberately targeting them to stir emotion, because that’s how they get traffic,” he said.

The congressman recalled several times when he was slated to do a cable news in-

terview on a particular topic, which the president would be happy to see gain coverage, only to be asked questions about the investigations into Trump’s ties to Russia during the campaign because of a Tweet he sent moments before the interview.

He admitted the president has the power to steer the conversation in the right direction.

“There is no person in the United States of America with more of an ability to drive the conversation,” he said. “I don’t know of the last time we had an individual in the United States of America with a bigger soapbox than the president of the United States.”

“He’s willing to sign 50,000 different versions of this bill.”

Common ground exists between Republicans and Democrats on the future of the federal health care law, according to Zeldin, though he said he’s skeptical of the Senate’s ability to reach a majority on a replacement of the Affordable Care Act. At no point during the 90-minute conversation did the congressman use the phrase “repeal and replace,” though he discussed,

at length, some of the issues with the individual market and what it would take to repair it in a way that works.

“Beyond partisanship there’s an ideological difference on the insurance piece, and what do you do with the ACA,” Zeldin said. “They just absolutely, genuinely to their core disagree on certain components of what direction [to go in].”

Zeldin was extremely critical of the process that led up to the ultimately failed Senate vote on health care and stressed the need to return to regular order.

The health care vote revealed three Republican senators as willing to oppose the president on major legislation. As a result of that vote and other circumstances in which Republican senators have spoken out against Trump, Zeldin encouraged the use of the president’s “bully pulpit,” like the way he spoke about Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) during his trip to Phoenix Aug. 22.

When asked if the president is doing enough to grow his base of support rather than just appealing to those he already has in his camp, Zeldin was also critical.

“There are opportunities for him to do more to broaden that coalition,” he said.

He also indicated the president is prepared to compromise on a health care bill.

“He’s willing to sign 50,000 different versions of this bill,” Zeldin said.

“There is no moral equivalency.”

The congressman was most critical of the president on his response to the events in Charlottesville. He repeatedly stated there is no moral equivalency between marchers on the side of the KKK and Nazism and those who attended the rally to oppose hate, a point that was contradictory to statements Trump made publicly on the subject. Zeldin said he did agree though with the president’s point that members of the “alt-right” were not the only one’s who arrived at the Virginia rally for the purpose of inciting violence.

“If you are a good person showing up to that march and you realize once you get there that by being associated at all with that march that you are associating yourself in any way, shape, or form with the KKK or Nazism, a good person, immediately, instinctively completely disengages,” Zeldin said.

Benefit planned to raise funds for beloved music teacher

By RiTa J. egaN RiTa@TBRNeWSPaPeRS.Com Community members are banding together to raise funds for an accomplished musician and music teacher known throughout the Three Village area.

Richard Rabatin’s friends and fellow musicians knew they had to do something when medical bills started piling up for the owner and teacher at the Stony Brook School of Music in Setauket. In June, 67-year-old Rabatin was diagnosed with giant cell myocarditis, a rare cardiovascular disorder that can be fatal. He was put on a transplant list for a new heart, and an operation was performed to implant two heart pumps. A few weeks ago, the teacher received a transplant and is currently recuperating at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, while his wife Mary Emerson has taken an extended leave from her job as a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital to care for him.

A GoFundMe page, which has raised nearly $40,000, was set up, and friends including Alan Jones, Richard Wiederman and Frank Licitra began planning a benefit concert for Sept. 9 to help the husband and father of 8-year-old Thomas manage his expenses. Wiederman said Rabatin, a Port Jefferson Station resident, has been running the Stony Brook School of Music for 35 years, and plays guitar in the Whiskey Rebellion, a blues-jazz band that performs regularly at the Country Corner

bar, located below the music school.

Wiederman, who plays trumpet with the Whiskey Rebellion, said Rabatin does all the arrangements for the band — which is currently on hiatus until the guitar player recuperates. The trumpet player said he’s been performing with Rabatin for 17 years and first met him in 1979.

“He’s just had such a profound impact on so many people,” Wiederman said.

The two met when Wiederman, who now teaches music at Setauket Elementary School, was attending college. He said Rabatin was a great help to him while he was studying music and would send him jazz transcriptions.

When Wiederman would show them to his professors, he said they were so impressed because they had never seen such detail before.

Jones considers Rabatin his best friend and said he’s like a brother to him. He met Rabatin when they were freshmen at Suffolk County Community College in 1968, and they began performing together a year later.

“He’s an extremely intelligent, kind and generous man,” Jones said. “A wonderful father, husband, teacher and friend.”

In addition to his musical talents, Rabatin is a licensed attorney who holds multiple degrees, and is a contributing author to a number of scholarly works on English writer G. K. Chesterton and other notable figures, according to Jones. He said the teacher has been a mentor to many local musicians.

“It’s been said that the difference between

Richard Rabatin plays guitar with his band the Whiskey Rebellion at the Country Corner bar.

Richard and the other fine guitar and music instructors in Suffolk is that the rest of them have been Richard’s students,” Jones said.

Licitra, who owns a music school in Sayville, said he began teaching because of Rabatin. After touring with various musicians in his 20s, Licitra said he wanted to marry and settle down and thought about going back to college. It was then that Rabatin called and asked if he would like to teach piano at the Stony Brook School of Music.

“He taught me how to teach and convinced me that all my experiences as a performer would be really useful to young people,” Licitra said.

Licitra has played piano with Rabatin’s Whiskey Rebellion and said the guitar player is an expert at transcribing and analyzing music and then showing on paper to his students what is going on in the music and why a song can be emotional.

“He probably taught all of the better known players [in the area] who went on to be professionals,” Licitra said. “He either had a hand or influence in a lot of guys understanding and ability to play music.”

Wiederman said Rabatin has been recovering well but will be unable to attend the event, and he plans to live stream it for him and anyone who is unable to attend.

The benefit concert “A Change of Heart for Richard” will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 380 Nicolls Road, East Setauket, Sept. 9 from 5:30 to 10 p.m.

Tickets cost $40 per person and include food and beverages. The evening will feature performances by Andrew Fortier, The Claudia Jacobs Band, and jazz guitarist Matt Marshak and his band. The Whiskey Rebellion will feature guest player Teddy Kumpel, a member of Joe Jackson’s touring band, sitting in on guitar and Licitra on keyboards.

Payments can be made by cash or check made payable to Mary Emerson. For more information, call 631-744-9556.

Suffolk County project holds opioid overdose prevention class

By Jill WeBB For five years the Suffolk County Department of Health’s Opioid Overdose Prevention Project has been doing their part to help community members save lives. To commemorate the project’s fifth anniversary an Opioid Overdose Prevention class was held July 31 at the William J. Lindsay County Complex in Hauppauge.

The class trained participants in the essential steps to handling an opioid overdose: recognizing the overdose, administering intranasal Narcan, and what to do while the Emergency Medical Service teams are en-route.

These training procedures meet the New York State Department of Health requirements, and at completion of the course, students received a certificate along with an emergency resuscitation kit, which contains the Narcan Nasal Spray.

Narcan, also known as Naloxone, is administered to reverse an opioid overdose, and has saved many lives. Before the project was put into place, only advanced Emergency Medical Services providers could administer Narcan to overdose victims.

“The No. 1 incentive is to receive a free Narcan kit,” Dr. Gregson Pigott, EMS medical director and clinical director of the Opioid Overdose Prevention Program, said. “That’s really the draw.”

He said the class appeals to many people in the field, such as nurses or treatment professionals.

AnnMarie Csorny, director of the depart-

ment of health’s community mental hygiene services, said another motivation to take the class is “to be better informed, and to have a kit available on you that you would be able to use should you see someone. It doesn’t always have to be your loved one, it could be someone in the community.”

Starting in 2012, the department of health services’ division of emergency medical services has held more than 278 classes. Within this time, approximately 9,000 participants have learned how to recognize an opioid overdose and administer Narcan. Since its start, Narcan has saved the lives of over 3,000 individuals.

Those who have been trained in administering Narcan include EMTs, school district staff and opioid users themselves. The program has developed from how to handle an overdose into adding a discussion of opioid addiction.

“Initially it was just about recognizing signs and symptoms of overdose, how Naloxone is packaged, what it does, what it doesn’t do, what to expect when you administer it, and how to get a refill,” Pigott said.

Now, the program integrates treatment aspects along with prevention techniques.

“I don’t wanna say we just give them Narcan and say, ‘OK here’s how to give it out.’ Pigott said. “I’d like to give them a little bit more background on the epidemic and how we got to where we are, and resources. You have a lot of parents in there who are anxious that they have a son or daughter who is hooked on this stuff. They don’t just want Narcan, they want help for their son or daughter.”

The use of Narcan is demonstrated on a dummy during a training class given by the Suffolk County Department of Health.

Taking it a step further, in 2016 the county health department started to work with local hospitals to get Narcan kits to those who are at risk of an opioid overdose. They also help educate them along with their families on the risk factors, signs, and symptoms of an opioid overdose.

Suffolk County also operates, with the help of the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, a 24/7 substance abuse hotline at 631-979-1700. The line was established in April 2016 for crises, and has received 1,217 calls as of May 31.

On the Opioid Overdose Prevention Program’s impact, Csorny believes it’s a start to tackling a huge issue.

“I think it’s certainly opened the discussion of lines of communication,” Csorny said. “It has, I believe, empowered people to get the support they need and to talk about the things that are not there.”

While the program has educated hundreds of people, and saves many lives, Pigott knows more needs to be done in handling the opioid epidemic.

“I’m realizing that Narcan isn’t the answer,” Pigott said. “It’s a nice thing to say, ‘Hey I got a save, this person was turning blue, not breathing, and then I squirted the stuff up the nose and we got them back.’ But then on the backside of that, the person wakes up and they’re like, ‘Ugh, what just happened to me?’ and then all of a sudden withdrawal kicks in.”

Pigott said after the withdrawal kicks in the users will decide to get treatment or not to, and if they chose the latter they will most likely start using again — administrating Narcan isn’t going to change that.

“That’s the biggest problem we have: it’s a quick fix, and you’re really not fixing anything,” Pigott said. “It’s much more complicated than just giving out Narcan.”

The next step in handling the opioid epidemic, according to Pigott, is getting better treatment options. He said most of the county’s treatment programs are abstinence-based; detox programs in learning how to be drug-free.

“It might be effective at the time but once you’re out of the program it’s easy to get tempted, easy to relapse,” Pigott said. “I think treatment needs to be addressed more and I think there needs to be more options for people.”

‘Little libraries’ popping up around the North Shore

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Thanks to a partnership between the Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society and two Port Jefferson area libraries, North Shore kids will have access to more free reading material than ever before.

What might initially appear to be a newly installed, red-and-white mailbox in front of the William Miller House at 75 North Country Road is actually a Little Free Library, where residents of all ages are encouraged to pick up or drop off a book while on the go.

The minilibrary, which is shaped like a tiny schoolhouse and currently holds between 15 and 20 books ranging from “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” to “Goodnight Moon,” stands as the most recent free book exchange program to sprout up on Long Island, with others installed at West Meadow Beach and Heritage Park in Mount Sinai last year.

The idea for the book-sharing movement, which has spanned more than 70 countries around the world since the first little library was built by Todd Bol of Wisconsin in tribute to his mother in 2009, is that with a quick turn of a wooden latch, it can increase book access for readers of all ages and backgrounds.

Members of the Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society unveiled their new addition Aug. 9 to a large crowd of smiling faces, which included residents, elected officials and representatives from Port Jefferson Free Library and Comsewogue Public Library. The two libraries

The Port Jefferson Free Library has taken a leadership role in expanding availability of Little Free Libraries. partnered with the historical society to buy and sponsor it.

“I woke up this morning and I had the Mister Roger’s song in my head, ‘Oh what a beautiful day in the neighborhood,’” said Antoinette Donato, vice president of the historical society, during the ceremony. “This little library is symbolic of how our community comes together … So when you reach into that box to put something in or take something out, please remember that you’re also reaching into your community. I hope it’s a very active library.”

Tom Donlon, director of Port Jefferson Free Library, said when he and Debbie Engelhardt, director of Comsewogue Public Library,

decided to partner up to bring the program to the Miller Place community, they immediately knew the perfect place for it.

Engelhardt called Little Free Libraries a beautiful concept.

“Anybody can use it as much as they want and it’s always a mystery when you open that box — you never know what you’ll find,” Engelhardt said. “There are no late fees, no guilt, no stress. If you want to keep a book, you can. The books inside will move you and teach you. We say that libraries change lives and, well, Little Free Libraries can too.”

She added that these minilibraries have proven to energize the spot where they’re located. For the historical society, whose William

Miller House is nearly 300 years old and needs between $18,000 and $28,000 to renovate a collapsing roof and a total $100,000 for a fullhouse repair, any attention is welcomed.

Fittingly, although the box was stocked with books already donated by the libraries, the first batch of reading material from the public came from 12-year-old Jack Soldano, who spent the summer raising more than $1,000 for the historical society with his very own comic book stand.

Soldano contributed issues of Captain America, Star Wars and Power Rangers comics to join such titles as “Leaving Time” by Jodi Picoult, “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn, “The Stranger” by Harlan Coben and the Grimm fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”

Over at Heritage Park, next to the Shack concession stand by the playground, the redpainted Little Free Library currently contains more youth-oriented reads. Several books within “The Babysitters Club” series and Walt Disney’s “Fun-To-Learn Library” collection, are available for the taking.

Manorville resident Megan Murray, who was at the park with her young daughter, said she’s been a fan of the initiative since a few popped up in her area.

“The concept is great because it’s for everybody, rich or poor,” Murray said. “It’s really sad that so many kids don’t have access to books and I think it’s wonderful.”

Currently there are plans for a Little Free Library to be installed at Rocketship Park in Port Jefferson next month.

It’s Labor Day weekend and a great time to go boating. You get the family in the car and go to the marina.

Being a responsible boater, first you check the weather forecast and make sure that you won’t face any surprises out on the water. You or someone else will remember the sandwiches and drinks. You get to the boat and go through the required check-off items: examine the fuel level; check oil; see that the personal flotation devices are in the right place — at least one per person and easily accessible in an emergency — check if the anchor is set up for easy deployment; that flares and other emergency items in order; that the hand-held VHF radio is charged and readily available.

Being a responsible boater, the final thing to do before you cast off is to inform the passengers and crew as to where the emergency items are and how to use and wear them. And if you are a diligent boater, you file a float plan with friends, so that in the eventuality that you aren’t where you’re supposed to be in the coming days, they can inform the Coast Guard of a potential problem.

All of the above seems like a lot of hard work to go out for a day trip to the local anchorage. But with some experience, and perhaps after some nasty events, you will tend to do these things automatically — better yet, have an actual check-off list so you forget nothing. Then you’ll have a beautiful day to go boating.

Coast Guard teaches, rather preaches, to their boat crews and to the Coast Guard Auxiliary situational awareness. That is, what’s going on around you. In the parlance of the local guru, mindfulness — the state of knowing the environment in which your boat plows ahead.

These include water state, weather now and what’s to come, wind, other boats and buoys and all the impediments that exist on local waters. There should also be a designated lookout in case someone falls overboard.

Above all, know the rules of the road. This includes what to do when boats approach one another. These regulations, also known as colregs, are devised to avoid collisions at sea. The main elements should be learned by way of courses given on Nautical charts, which are available for the waters in which you wish to sail. The chart, unlike a land road map, gives you broad swaths of safe passages and also tells you which regions to avoid due to shallow depths and rocks.

If you’re a power boater or a sailor with an accessory motor, you should know about the innards of the beast.

Have you enough fuel for your planned voyage? Will you check the oil dipstick, or do you assume marina personnel do it for you? They won’t unless you ask them to. Are all your oil, water, fuel and water filters clean, and can you change out a clogged filter? Are water cooling sea cocks open? Can you troubleshoot easy problems? Do you have the essential tools for such work? Most aspects of inboard and outboard motors can be handled by a layman with a little study. A quick course on troubleshooting your power plant by the marina mechanic can also pay off.

Paddle craft safety is of growing concern to the Coast Guard, with some 22 million Americans enjoying the sport. According to industry figures, some 100,000 canoes, 350,000 kayaks and a very large number of standup paddleboard are sold annually. A tragic consequence of these large numbers is that as of 2015, 29 percent of boating deaths were related to paddle crafts. In response, the USCG has generated a Paddle Craft Vessel Safety Check, which is administered by a USCG-approved vessel examiner, such as Coast Guard Auxiliary personnel.

Paddle crafters should wear personal flotation devices and have a sound-producing device, like a whistle, on them at all times.

Narcan now available for low cost at pharmacies

By Kyle Barr The opioid crisis on Long Island has left devastation in its wake, and as opioid-related deaths rise every year, New York State Department of Health has created an additional, more affordable way to combat it. To deal with the rash of overdoses as a result of addiction, the state has made it easier for people with prescription insurance to afford Naloxone, a common overdose reversal medication.

On Aug. 7, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced starting Aug. 9 that people with prescription health insurance coverage would be able to receive Naloxone, commonly referred to as Narcan, for a copay of up to $40. New York is the first state to offer the drug for such a low cost in pharmacies.

“The vast majority of folks who have health insurance with prescription coverage will be able to receive Naloxone through this program for free,” said Ben Rosen, a spokesperson for the state department of health.

Before the change, the average shelf cost of Narcan, which is administered nasally, was $125 without prescription with an average national copay of $10. People on Medicaid and Medicare paid between $1 and $3, Rosen said.

This action by the state comes at a critical time. More than 300 people from Suffolk County died from opioid-related overdoses in 2016, according to county medical examiner records. On Aug. 10, President Donald Trump (R) declared the opioid issue a national emergency, meaning that there is now more pressure on Congress to pass legislation to deal with the crisis, as well as a push to supply more funds to states, police departments and health services to help address the problem.

The drug is available in more than 3,000 pharmacies across New York and well over 100 pharmacies in Suffolk County. This includes major pharmacies like CVS Health, Walgreens and Rite Aid, but also includes a few local pharmacies that already participate in the state AIDS Drug Assistance Program, Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage program and Medicaid, according to Kathy Febraio, the executive director of the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York, a nonprofit pharmacists advocacy group.

The program is only available for people who either have Medicare, Medicaid or health insurance with prescription coverage.

Narcan kits, above, are now available for low cost at many New york pharmacies, such as rely rX in St. James, below.

Otherwise, officials said that those who lack insurance and need access can get it through a number of free Narcan training courses.

“We think that anything that can have an effect on this crisis is a good thing,” Febraio said. “This will certainly help. We need anything that will get Naloxone into the hands of those who need it.”

While county Legislator and Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) likes the idea of additional access to Narcan, he is skeptical about whether those who get it know how to properly administer it. “You don’t need a Ph.D. to know how to use it, but there is some training that would help people be more comfortable, such as how to properly use it in an emergency situation and how to store it so that it is accessible while making sure children can’t get their hands on it,” he said. “Unfortunately the epidemic is so widespread. Everyone knows someone who is affected.”

Christina Loeffler, the co-owner of Rely RX Pharmacy & Medical Supplies in St. James, one of the few non-major pharmacies in the county participating in the program, said though the business has not yet received many calls for Narcan, the state requires pharmacists to demonstrate how to use it.

“You have to counsel the patient and show them how to use it,” she said. “We were shown videos, we were given kits to practice on before we were certified to do it. I feel like it’s a good thing that they’re doing it.”

The county currently provides numerous Narcan training courses for locals, where they receive training and free supplies of the life-saving drug. County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said that she will be cohosting a free Narcan training course Oct. 5 at Rocky Point High School with support from the North Shore Youth Council.

“They absolutely need to be trained,” she said. “Narcan is almost a miracle drug — it brings people back from death. However, people need to know what they’re doing so that it is administered correctly.”

A list of participating pharmacies can be found on the New York State Department of Health’s website at www.health.ny.gov/ overdose.

Delivering meals on wheels

On Aug. 23, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (RShirley) joined Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) to deliver meals to residents at Leisure Village in Ridge. The pair were warmly welcomed into the homes and assured the residents of their strong support for the Meals on Wheels program.

Meals on Wheels is a nationwide network of community-based, nonprofit programs dedicated to providing seniors in the community with the support that enables them to remain living independently in their own homes. Pictured with Congressman Zeldin and Supervisor Romaine is Leisure Village resident Evelyn Rolleri.

The Nutrition Program provides over 3,000 meals per month through home-de-

livered meals and two congregate dining sites. Menus are prepared by a registered dietitian in accordance with health department meal service standards. Volunteers work in conjunction with the town’s jitney transportation program to distribute the home-delivered meals. Two nutrition centers provide residents with the opportunity to socialize and participate in a variety of activities, including games, dancing, exercise, movies and trips. The town’s Nutrition Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, New York State and the Suffolk County Office for the Aging.

For more information about the town’s Nutrition Programs, call the Department of Housing and Human Services at 631-4519191 or visit www.brookhavenny.gov.

Sponsoring Girl Scouts Suffolk Federal is sponsoring the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County LEGO League junior robotics team. In LEGO League, Girl Scout teams participate in robotic competitions by building mechanical robots out of LEGOs that must solve a real-world problem linked to a particular theme.

“Girl Scouts of Suffolk County is proud to have Suffolk Federal as a LEGO League robotics team sponsor,” said Yvonne Grant, president and CEO at Girl Scouts of Suffolk County. “We look forward to a successful and lasting partnership as we continue to offer our young women unique and enriching opportunities through science, technology,

engineering and math.”

LEGO League helps to build self-esteem and confidence in young women, allowing them to work together in a nurturing environment. They creatively problem-solve while developing their cognitive, social and engineering skills.

“It’s an honor to work with the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County in an effort to provide continued opportunities for young girls in our community,” said Sarah McCandless, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Suffolk Federal and board member for the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County. “Knowing that our contribution directly supports the growth and development of these young women is extremely rewarding.”

Women’s Equality Day

In commemoration of Women’s Equality Day Aug. 25, Brookhaven Town Clerk Donna Lent (R) was on hand to ring the NASDAQ opening bell. A brief press conference was held afterward to highlight the need for gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Women’s Equality Day is celebrated every year Aug. 26, which is the anniversary date

of the certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. “Achieving gender equality is our collective responsibility, it requires the engagement of each one of us, women and men, girls and boys,” Lent said.

Clockwise from left, Port Jefferson football’s youth members get ready for practice on the Royals field; sophomore Sam Florio shows how a tackle is done as he takes down sophomore Ryan Holmes in a scrimmage; a youth member practices a tackle with a varsity player; and quarterback Jack Collins tosses a pass in the scrimmage.

Royal youth learn from today’s football leaders

By Bill landon Port Jefferson’s youngest football players practiced alongside the Royals varsity squad Aug. 26 during a camp designed to teach the fundamentals of the game while stressing the do’s and don’ts of safety in the sport.

Royals head coach Andrew Cosci had players break into groups of running backs, receivers, quarterbacks and linemen during the camp for which the idea he said was long overdue.

“I think it’s extremely important to involve the younger players, especially with the way football is being looked at across the nation, along with the NFL, with the emphasis on safety,” he said, also adding the desire to get

the younger kids enthusiastic about and interested in the program. “It shows that we’re all in this together. The game is a great game, it teaches a lot of life lessons and you want to share it with the little ones because that’s where a lot of the fear is. When the young kids come up, [they can] see how we teach the athletes the right way to play the game.”

For senior wide receiver and strong safety Thomas Mark, practicing with the younger players has been special.

“It’s definitely really important because when I was a kid coming to all the games I looked up to those players,” Mark said of seeing previous varsity athletes.

“So to be out here and to see these kids look up to us is really rewarding.”

Port Jeff sixth-grader Shane Wardell said the reason he was at the camp was simple.

“To have fun and to see the varsity team,” he said. “I want to play on varsity some day.”

Senior running back Joey Evangelista echoed Mark’s sentiment, and said he thinks the camp is an important one.

“It shows them what we do up here at this level and it gets them ready for it,” Evangelista said, and then assessed his team’s chances this season. “We have a lot of our backfield coming back, which is awesome. A lot of our line left us last year, but we have some big guys, so I think we can do it.”

Cosci will rely on all 14 of his seniors to set the example for the younger generations and the underclassmen on the team. The hope is to make a deep run in the playoffs.

“From year to year you never know and you always get surprises, but hopefully they’re good

surprises,” Cosci said. “We have a couple of holes that we knew we’d have to fill up front because of guys who graduated last year, but every day they’re getting better and they’re working hard and that’s all you can ask of them.”

The Royals look to improve on the 5-3 conference season from last year, and have a new weapon in their arsenal to get the job done, according to senior quarterback Jack Collins.

“This year we have athletes like we’ve never had before,” the third-year varsity player said. “We have some new kids who are really good outside. We’ve lost some tonnage from last year’s team, so we’re going to have to work on getting the blocks down, but we got players to do it — we have the size to do it.”

Mark said he also likes what he sees in this year’s lineup.

“We have a lot of skill players — our receivers, running backs, quarterback — we’ve got a good bond so far and a lot of really athletic kids, so I’m looking forward to seeing how many big plays they can make,” he said. “But it’s knowing who to block — Andrew Cosci and when, and knowing our schemes.”

Collins reflected on what it means to be involved with the local youth football players in their formative years.

“It’s very important to involve the younger players [because they] are the ones who keep the program going,” he said. “I remember when I was that age and we didn’t have a Port Jeff youth program, so it’s nice to be part of [it]. It’s nice to be able to give back to the community and I’m happy that I’m able to be part of it.”

The Royals will pick up where they left off

‘I think it’s extremely important to involve the younger players ... with the emphasis on safety. ... The game is a great game, it teaches a lot of life lessons and you want to share it with the little ones.’

as they open their season on the road against Miller Place, the team that ended their season in the playoffs last year. The Sept. 8 matchup has a kickoff time slated for 7 p.m.

Cosci said he is optimistic about Port Jefferson’s chances to go further.

“What I like a lot is our skill positions — they’re very dangerous on the football field,” the head coach said. “Even on defense our linebackers and our secondary, we’re very, very strong and as long as we keep going in that direction we’re going to be a dangerous team.

Shoreham is the team to beat — we’ve always had a tough time with them, but we’re not just looking to make the playoffs, we’re looking to make some noise when we get there.”

A commentary on moral decay

Never since the dawn of civilization has morality and civil structure eroded to the status of a common denominator. One only has to witness our human decline. No other negative force could impose this social malignancy that is now being placed upon us. Look all about us and witness the moral decay that has grown within our nation.

Sexual conflict now clouds

Photo by Alex Petroski

Assemblyman Steve Englebright suggested an outside-the-box fix to the problem of what to do about dredged spoils during an Aug. 28 press conference.

Planning LI’s future It is a poorly kept secret that the condition of Long Island’s waterways is worsening. Elected officials from town, county, state and federal levels of government have all made improving the ecosystem of the Long Island Sound and other local water bodies a top priority in both their policies and public rhetoric.

We were glad to hear the announcement made by Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), along with council members Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) and Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station), during an Aug. 28 press conference. The town intends to support a lawsuit filed earlier in August by New York State officials against the United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding a dumping plan slated to drop dredged spoils from Connecticut waterways in the Sound for the next 30 years. Some of the spoils could be contaminated with polluted materials, according to some environmental experts.

Standing up to oppose a plan set forth by the federal government because of its hazardous potential impact on the local environment is a great start, but we understand something needs to be done with the millions of cubic feet of dredged sludge.

To that end, we were extremely intrigued to hear a suggestion made

by State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) during the press conference, which is even more topical today with severe flooding devastating Houston. Englebright told a story of a 1953 storm in the Netherlands that resulted in a catastrophic flood and killed thousands of people. In response to the disaster, the country formed the Delta Committee, which was tasked with coming up with solutions to prevent anything like the 1953 flood from happening again.

An element of the response, albeit a lengthy and expensive process, was to use in part dredged materials to create a barrier to protect the coastline.

A solution like this to Long Island’s problem of what to do with dredged materials in lieu of further harming the Sound would run in perfect lockstep with a mantra frequently heard from Romaine, a longtime advocate of environmental responsibility: “Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.” It would also provide increased protection from flooding, as experienced during Hurricane Sandy, and aid in strengthening the coastline from the effects of erosion and sea level rising amid the inevitable effects of climate change.

Outside-the-box thinking from political leaders is going to be a requirement over the coming decades if Long Island is to continue to be livable. If the health of the Long Island Sound can be improved in the process, we can’t think of a reason why a solution like this shouldn’t be explored.

Local leaders condemn hate Like most Americans, we watched the events in Charlottesville with sadness and dismay. We were deeply disturbed by the violence and death perpetrated by the hatemongers who showed up on the University of Virginia campus with malevolent intent. It was concerning to learn that one of the rally organizers was Chris Cantwell, a self-described white nationalist and former resident of the Three Village area.

As public servants elected to

represent northern Brookhaven, we find it crucial to reinforce the values that bind together the neighborhoods we represent. We are proud to be a community that embraces diversity, breadth of knowledge, research and culture.

We unequivocally denounce the hatred espoused by supremacists and separatists. With one voice we emphasize that the Three Village area we know and love welcomes and embraces all people of goodwill. Every day

we experience this community’s shared values of acceptance and equality united against hate and bigotry.

Invalidating the letter of a reverend The Rev. Robert Stelzer’s letter in the Aug. 24 edition of The Port Times Record [“What’s next if we tear down statues?”] has three sections: a repeat of President Donald Trump’s red herring — if a statue of Robert E. Lee goes, who’s next, Washington, Jefferson?; an extended — and sanitized — paean to Lee; and a hysterical apocalyptic coda.

Trump’s goal is obvious, despite lip-service condemnation of the Nazis, KKKers, and white supremacists rioting in Charlottesville, to accuse, against all evidence, the counter-demonstrators of the same violence and to pretend that there were many good people there simply trying to preserve their heritage against a huge “politically correct” movement to wipe it out. Hence Trump’s and Stelzer’s equation of Lee with Washington and Jefferson — all slaveholders. But Washington and Jefferson risked their lives to win independence from royal England and build a new republic.

Lee did not simply refuse to raise a hand against his children and resign his commission, he betrayed his solemn oath to defend the United States and took up arms to destroy it, to preserve slavery in the

South and extend it to the western territories if possible.

Stelzer quotes a letter from Lee to his wife saying slavery “is a moral and political evil,” but he doesn’t continue quoting: “Slavery was a greater evil to the white man”; “slaves are immeasurably better off here than in Africa”; and “the painful discipline they are undergoing is a necessity for their instruction as a race.”

White southerners have created a myth of a benign slavery — “Gone with the Wind” and “Old Black Joe” — but slavery was an abomination and slaves were treated like cattle, routinely whipped, sometimes to death to drive them and intimidate them.

The statues of confederates erected in the 1890s and again in the 1920s celebrate a peculiar southern “tradition.” The first 1890s set commemorated the return to power of white ex-slaveholders, after a KKK reign of terror that murdered thousands and stripped ex-slaves of almost all rights. The 1920s set celebrated the white riots against returning black veterans of World War I that emphasized that war service would not change “traditions” in the South.

At the end, Stelzer invents some powerful “We” as murderous as ISIS, bent on destroying any “civilization, religion, tradition or person with which ‘We’ do not totally agree.” Really? Are lefties abandoning the Enlightenment age, the rule of law, western literature, denying western science (the age of the earth, evolution, the equality of all humankind, the reality of climate change)? Is religion threatened by the clergy who counter-protested in Charlottesville? Are we burning evangelical churches, shooting humans at a prayer meeting? No. Stetzler means that he can’t impose his politico-religious preferences on others, who instead support a woman’s right to choose to beget or bear a child, gay marriage and other LGBT rights. As to the threat to “person(s),” how many persons have been killed by civil rights groups? None that I know of, compared to white supremacists (many, notably Medgar Evers, Chaney, Goodman, Schwerner, Viola Liuzzo, four black schoolgirls in a Birmingham church bombing, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Heather Heyer).

OpiniOn Making science work for you

I

’m not a scientist and I don’t play one on TV. Nonetheless, I think science is undervalued in America. I believe the typical American takes science for granted, thinks science owes them something and figures they’ll never understand what scientists are saying.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

For starters, science isn’t just about trying to create the best iPhone, the highest quality and thinnest televisions, or medicines that act like magic bullets, destroying evil our cells or

By Daniel Dunaief in our DNA without damaging the healthy ones.

Science often starts with a question.

Why or how does something work?

And, perhaps, if we change something about the way it works, does it get bet-

D. None of the above

ter or worse? The conclusions scientists draw when they solve one puzzle leads to the next set of questions.

It’s as if a child asks his parent if he can go west and the parent says, “No, don’t go west, but here are the keys to the car.”

The answer may seem like a non sequitur, but it’s also a way to navigate somewhere new, even if, for whatever reason, the car isn’t supposed to go west. Maybe, by learning more about the car and where it can go, the child also learns what’s so forbidding about going west, too.

We want science to succeed and we’re annoyed when science doesn’t solve our problems. We can’t get something to work or we can’t get ourselves to work and we blame scientists. After all, if we can send a man to the moon, why can’t we conquer the morning rush hour or the common cold?

Then again, how does the study of dark matter — neutrinos or sphingolipids — affect our morning commute?

We may not understand these areas, but that doesn’t mean basic knowl-

edge can’t or won’t lead to advances we can’t anticipate.

Knowledge, as we know, is power. If we know, for example, that an enemy is planning an attack and we know where and how that attack will occur, we can defend ourselves, even if that enemy exists at a subcellular level.

Learning the playbook of the enemy takes time, which technological innovation, dedicated researchers and people battling against a disease often don’t have.

Worst of all, though, science is somehow too hard to understand. That is a defeatist conclusion. Yes, scientists use technical terms as shorthand and, yes, they may not be selling ideas or themselves in the kind of carefully crafted tones often reserved for CEOs or politicians.

That, however, doesn’t mean they are planting a keep-out sign in front of them or their ideas. While scientists reduce a question to an attainable goal, they also often keep a larger goal in mind.

A few years ago, my daughter had to draw a picture of what she thought

a scientist looked like. Rather than imagine a person in a white lab coat with one pocket full of pens and the other holding a radiation badge, she drew a baby.

Science may be frustrating because scientists often come across as uncertain. For example, they might say, “We believe that the shadow in our telescope may be caused by an exoplanet orbiting a star that’s outside the solar system, and which is the same distance from its nearest star as Earth is from the sun.”

Scientists can be wrong, just as anyone can be wrong in their job, in their opinions or in their conclusions. That, however, doesn’t make science wrong.

Scientists are often most excited when a discovery they make defies their expectations or bucks conventional wisdom.

Just because conventional scientific wisdom changes doesn’t mean every part of it is wrong.

Science doesn’t have all the answers and it never will. The most likely person to tell you that, though, should be a scientist, not a journalist.

Hope after the horrors of Hurricane Harvey

ouldn’t it be wonderful if the enormous energy of Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm for a time, could be harnessed to serve later in some practical way, perhaps to light the city of Chicago during one of winter’s darkest weeks?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the unending rainfall brought

by Harvey, in some places in Texas more than 50 inches already, could be captured, stored and brought to areas that are arid and desperate for water?

By Leah S. Dunaief Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the disastrous effects and ruination caused by Harvey could somehow bring Americans back together, red states and blue states, conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats, forgetting their anger and moving compassionately together to help the tragic victims

of our fourth largest city?

Wait, I think destructive Harvey has done just that.

Am I imagining, or did I hear one of our more bellicose representatives, from Long Island no less, promise to bury the hatchet and vote aid for the state of his longtime adversary, despite not having received such aid in our time of terrible need? And wasn’t he bragging about his empathy?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the unprecedented flooding caused by Harvey could incredibly make the prospect of nuclear war with Kim Jong-un secondary at the top of the news hour, beneath the fold on the front page of the daily newspaper and in the public consciousness?

Yes, it happened like that. Even President Trump disappeared from the news for a time. Harvey it seems, terrible as it is, can do strange things.

But the cost, in human agony, is catastrophic. Millions of people throughout the Gulf Coast have had their lives smashed, and that certainly is the main story for America this week. We have been glued to the television, watching the families with little more than the

clothes on their backs, wading through the waist-high water to meet a rescuer in a rowboat, their homes behind them flooded to the windowsills. Where will they sleep? What will they eat? Will they have enough water? Did they remember to bring their medicines? Are their other loved ones somewhere safe?

So far, the number of wounded and dead has been low, certainly compared to the horrors of Katrina. But there are all sorts of wounds. Most of the people we see on the screen seem remarkably calm but are most likely in shock, trying to make sense of how their lives have violently changed. For some, their houses are totally gone, smashed and washed away in the floodwaters. For others, their homes will have to be razed to the ground because of mold and rebuilt — if there is money to do so. Unlike with Katrina, where some 50 percent of the homes were insured, it seems only around 20 percent in the Houston area have flood insurance.

Businesses, restaurants, automobiles, jobs, whole neighborhoods are gone.

Addresses mean nothing because streets are buried. Valuables and memorabilia of a lifetime have floated

off. But most residents are “lucky”: They have escaped with their lives, their children in their arms.

The victims of Harvey have been grievously wounded. Our entire nation has been wounded.

We have, for now, lost a wide swath of the South, the ordinary, productive lives of the people who lived there and the many resources they gave us, from rice to oil and gas. After concerns for food and shelter are met for those rescued, there is the real threat of infectious disease, pollution and even the possibility of crime. And how will the affected states dispose of all the garbage Harvey will have left in its wake?

In some ways the rescue operation is a mini-Dunkirk. Good Samaritans, using all sorts of recreational vehicles, pickup trucks, fishing boats, motorized rubber dinghies and even Jet Skis, have rushed to help people trapped on roofs, in attics and in trees. The giant volunteer rescue effort, alongside official disaster responders, is a testament to the courage and basic decency of people throughout the country.

No one was asked whom he or she voted for. America, there is hope.
