Suffolk County Police nabbed an East Northport man they accused of robbing five North Shore businesses — one more than once — within the last 30 days. Shaun McNeice, 29, of 5 Stan Haven Place in East Northport, was arrested on Saturday after police said he robbed a Shell gas station on Commack Road in Commack and fled the scene on a bicycle at about 7:35 p.m. The employees at the gas station were not injured, and McNeice was apprehended a short time later on Stan Haven Place and West Haven Drive, where he was found with the proceeds from the robbery, a skull mask and a loaded handgun, cops said. Police said McNeice is responsible for a string of other robberies, beginning with a 7-Eleven on Jericho Turnpike in East Northport on Sept. 12 at about 11 p.m. Cops said he robbed the same 7-Eleven twice more last month — on Sept. 24 at about 12 a.m. and again on Sept. 30 at about 12:15 a.m.

Report: Huntington ambulance needs backup Squad says it services highest call volume in town By Victoria Espinoza

A report shows that Huntington Community First Aid Squad is requesting more help from neighboring fire departments than any other ambulance service in Huntington. According to the report, commissioned by Huntington Town, five volunteer fire departments in the town approached town officials about an increase in requests from the Huntington ambulance squad to respond to calls in the squad’s service area. HCFAS made more requests for ambulance support than those five departments combined, according to the report. In a phone interview this week, Alyssa Axelrod, vice president of HCFAS, said that the study is misleading because it does not mention that the squad receives more calls than the five other departments combined. HCFAS was formed in 1967 as a nonprofit and is the only exclusive volunteer ambulance program in the town. The taxpayers and Huntington Town fund the squad’s operations. The chiefs at the respective fire departments started noticing an increase in requests starting in 2013, according to

the study. Huntington Town responded to those concerns by hiring Medic Health to assess the operational practices of HCFAS and provide recommendations to reduce the number of requests to neighboring fire departments and ambulance squads. The study began in June 2014. Consultants worked with the Huntington ambulance squad, representatives of Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services and Huntington Town to gather and analyze information. The study found instances where HCFAS was understaffed during certain shifts. In one graph, the study shows times of the day and days of the week where current staffing levels, which is a minimum of two staffed ambulances, may not be sufficient to cover the community’s demand. The study states that 1 and 5 p.m. are the two times of the day where resources are lacking the most, during six out of the seven days of the week, according to the study. Saturday from 1 to 7 p.m. is the busiest. Currently the HCFAS services Huntington Town with a minimum of two on-duty ambulance crews based at the station for daytime shifts, and one crew for overnight shifts, according to Axelrod.

Huntington community First aid squad is the subject of a recent study.

The study also highlighted a problem caused by the staff being made up entirely of volunteers. Commitments from volunteers varied considerably for overnight and daytime coverage, according to the study. The report stated that 17 percent of the planned shifts had an insufficient number of members to staff the desired two ambulances. A chart showed the number of ambulances the HCFAS can field during different shifts based on member commitment. Friday, Saturday and Sunday overnight shifts only have enough member commitments to staff one or fewer ambulances, according to the chart. This is the same for 7 to 11:00 a.m. shifts on Friday and 3 to 7 p.m. shifts on Fri-

day and Saturday. Although there is no official time for how quickly an ambulance should respond to a call, organizations have given time limits to respond to life-threatening calls. The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services said a total response time standard of eight minutes and fiftynine seconds is expected for life-threatening calls. In 2014, the HCFAS was able to be on the scene to 62 percent of their calls within eight minutes of the call receipt, 76 percent within 10 minutes and 89 percent within 15 minutes. According to the study, 11 percent of the calls required more than 15 minutes AMBULANCE continued on page A11

Northport fights war against substance abuse By Rohma aBBas

Northport High School’s Students Against Destructive Decisions will be dedicating more than a week to raising awareness of drug and alcohol abuse by hosting programs to cultivate prevention and support recovery beginning next Thursday. Known as the Northport-East Northport Recovery, Awareness and Prevention Week, the programs kick off at the Northport American Legion Hall on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m., where families will gather to share their experiences with addiction. The Suffolk County Police Department will also provide Narcan training for the community. The following weekend will feature drug take-back programs at local libraries. The take-back campaign, manned by the village police department, will start at the Northport Public Library on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and continue on Sunday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 5 p.m. The county police department’s 2nd Precinct will also man a post at the East Northport Public Library on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Residents are able to participate in an anonymous drug drop-off, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at each police precinct, according a press release by the high school’s SADD club. The club has partnered with the Northport-East Northport Community Drug and Alcohol Task Force, the office of county Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport), the village police and the county police’s 2nd Precinct to host these events. Darryl St. George, a social studies teacher at Northport-East Northport school district, is a SADD club adviser. He became involved with the cause after losing his brother Corey to a drug overdose. In an interview this week, St. George said he feels the week’s events, particularly the Narcan training and the drug take-back program, would make a great impact through helping train people in potentially saving lives and by taking drugs off the streets — drugs that put lives at risk. “I think that this is very meaningful,” St. George said. “I think that this is one of those events that will have very real results.” Ending on Thursday, Oct. 29, there will be a number of events at the schools in the district and this year, for the first time, programs will take place at elementary school level. “Of course the message will be delivered in an ageappropriate way, but nevertheless the message will be the same — say ‘no’ to drugs,” he said. The programs will culminate in a press conference outside the Northport Village Hall, where officials will report the results to the community. The large numbers behind opioid-related deaths and Narcan saves justifies the need for these kinds of events, St. George said. According to a recent statement from the office of County Executive Steve Bellone (D), there were more than 250 opioid-related deaths in Suffolk County and 493 Narcan saves in 2014. “This week, specifically, the Narcan training and the drug take-back program give me a renewed sense of hope that we are doing something that will have tangible results,” Tammy Walsh, a SADD adviser said in a statement. “The drugs we are taking off the streets could stop a kid from overdosing or possibly getting addicted. The Narcan training we are providing is empowering people to be in a position to save lives. We are still in this fight.” For questions about these events, contact St. George at darryl.stgeorge@northport.k12.ny.us. File photos by Rohma Abbas and Jess Suarez

Residents urge board to sign onto ASL course Board to consider options to create, publicize course By Victoria Espinoza

The Northport-East Northport school board mulled adding American Sign Language to the district’s curriculum at a meeting on Thursday. Currently no such course is offered in Northport-East Northport schools. “ASL is something I find really interesting, and many other students do too,” Emily Faltings, a student at Northport High School, said. “I think it’s very important we involve it in our district. Why don’t we have it?” Many audience members agreed that it’s important for the district to add a sign language course. “It’s not just for special needs kids who have hearing loss,” Cathy Josephson, a Northport resident said. “It’s also for people who want to communicate with them.” Josephson said she has brought the issue to the board’s attention for the last six years, and she hopes members actually follow through this time. Matthew Nelson, assistant superintendent for instruction and administration, said the reason the course hasn’t been offered is because the district can never get enough students to fill a full

class. Trustee Jennifer Thompson wondered if this was because students aren’t getting enough exposure to the different language choices at a young age. “I don’t know if there is a chance for students to recognize what other languages they could take,” Thompson said. “Maybe there could be more of a discussion about what other languages students could take and are interested in.” Board President Andrew Rapiejko said that it sounds like no one on the board is opposed to the idea, and that the real challenge is figuring out how to publicize the course. Superintendent Robert Banzer wondered where school officials would begin. “Do we start this at the high school level?” Banzer said. “What would be the entry point? These are questions we can definitely look into.” Banzer also said the district could look into offering an ASL course at the middle school instead. Trustee Regina Pisacani said language teachers in the district inform potential students of their course. She said the teachers from the middle school visit fifth grade classes and give presentations to the students about the language classes they teach. “I think a lot of the students’ choices

are influenced by the exposure of the teachers coming into their classroom,” Pisacani said. She said she thought that would be a good approach in publicizing an ASL course. Trustee Lori McCue said that maybe ASL could be added to the elementary schools’ after-school programs, and many audience members cheered for the idea. “That’s an obvious solution,” Rachel

Friedman, a Northport resident said. “This is not something that should wait until high school. I think the best suggestion is to start it as an after-school program and then they can make that choice to continue in seventh or eighth grade.” The board agreed that it would look into these options. No other decisions were made.

County Republicans blast red light camera program By Giselle Barkley

Five years after red light cameras were installed in Suffolk County, North Shore officials are still examining the program’s effectiveness, as well as its purpose, by asking: are the cameras a means of enhancing public safety or simply another source of income for the county? On Tuesday, Oct. 6, Republican Suffolk County Legislators Tom Muratore (Ronkonkoma); Robert Trotta (Fort Salonga); Leslie Kennedy (Nesconset); Tom Cilmi (Bay Shore); Tom Barraga (West Islip) and Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) addressed some of their concerns when they met to discuss potential reforms to the Red Light Safety Program. The program was written into law in 2009 and installed red light cameras at up to 50 intersections in Suffolk County. The cameras were installed to capture the back of the drivers’ cars, as opposed to the driver themselves. Under the program, drivers who run through a red light face a $50 traffic violation but do not receive points against their license. Prior to the press conference, Muratore said county Republicans were left in the dark regarding details surrounding

the program, such as the duration of various lights. While there are three-second and five-second yellow and red lights, Muratore said it was impossible to identify which lights resided where. Despite this, Muratore said he found the program relatively reasonable. The legislator said he voted in favor of the program, thinking this new technology would help avoid traffic accidents. But what he disagreed with, he said, was the county’s manipulating of administrative fees associated with the program. “If you’re getting tens of thousands of tickets and you increase the fee by $5.00, you’re getting half a million to a million dollars, maybe more,” Muratore said in an interview. “That’s just money-grabbing right there.” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D) could not be reached comment on Tuesday. After Tuesday’s press conference in Riverhead, Trotta said he thinks the “money-grabbing” surpassed Bellone’s proposal to increase the administrative fee. He said the county has $2 billion worth of debt and claimed the program is nothing but an opportunity to collect money to help offset that.

suffolk County elected officials are dubbing the red light safety program a scam.

According to Trotta, if the camera “does not produce 25 tickets in a 16-hour period, then the county has to pay $2,136.” The money is a fixed monthly fee the county must pay the program’s contractor, Baltimore-based Affiliated Computer Services Inc. According to an amendment to the program, the county must also pay an additional $17.25 for each paid citation generated from such enforcement system. While public safety is a concern for many county officials, Trotta said he does not think there is a safety issue. Some Suffolk County residents are also in opposi-

tion to the cameras, so much so that Stephen Ruth of Centereach felt compelled to use a pole to turn the cameras away from the road at various locations. Muratore also added that the issue is not really people running red lights, but drivers’ timing when turning right on red. He said that drivers should not receive a ticket for turning right on red when it is permitted, provided they came to a full stop. “They forget they have to stop and then go. There’s no three second rule or five second rule, it’s a full stop,” Muratore said.

Ban on microbeads passes county legislature By Phil Corso

A push in the Suffolk County Legislature to ban the sale of personal care products containing microbeads was met with unanimous approval on Oct. 6, as state and federal lawmakers are also signing on to the cause. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) celebrated the unanimous vote for legislation crafted with the goal of washing the county free of the tiny, potentially hazardous plastic particles linked to several issues affecting waterways. She stood alongside environmental experts at the county Legislature building in Riverhead, referring to the new ban as a means of keeping Long Island and its surrounding waterways safe. “There is no place for plastics in our vulnerable bays and waterways,” said Hahn, chair of the Legislature’s Environment Committee and author of the bill. “Microbeads have been found in our precious Long Island Sound, and my legislation will protect our environment, protect our health and protect our fishing and tourism industries.” Microbeads, which are usually between one and five millimeters in diameter, are typically not filtered out by most wastewater treatment systems. This poses the risk of the tiny beads making

their way into surface waters, picking up toxins as they flow from one source to the next. Because of their tiny size, the toxin-laden particles can sometimes be mistaken for food by small fish and other aquatic species. But it does not end there. Once the aquatic life consumes the potentially harmful microbeads, they could then make their way into larger living organisms and eventually into the

human food supply. The county legislation said that manufacturers of several personal care products have added the small plastic beads to their facial scrubs, body washes, toothpaste products and select soaps and shampoos over the past 10 years. Now that it has passed, Hahn’s law will go into effect Jan. 1, 2018, and prohibit the sale of any personal care products that contain microbeads in Suffolk County.

Six months before that deadline, Hahn said the Department of Health Services will begin informing retailers selling products that contain microbeads of the new regulations, and enforcement will come through random inspections of at least 10 retailers per quarter in 2018. Anyone who violates the law will be subject to a civil fine of up to $500 for a first offense, a fine of up to $750 for a second offense and a fine of up to $1,000 for all subsequent violations. Microbead legislation has been gaining traction beyond the Suffolk County level over the past year, with elected officials on both the state and federal levels stepping up to promote the ban of such products. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman visited Long Island over the summer to announce the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015, a bipartisan federal bill that would also ban cosmetics containing the plastic pellets. Gillibrand’s bill had sponsors and co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle, most of them from the Midwest, according to a press release from the senator’s office. It is similar to a New York statelevel bill of the same name, which is Schneiderman’s effort to prohibit the sale and distribution of products containing microbeads.

Battle won Barkin’ Brunch supporters and the lucky dogs

Brunch has gone to the dogs On Sept. 27, a perfect Sunday morning, supporters and friends of Little Shelter Animal Rescue and Adoption Center launched the very first Barkin’ Brunch. This fundraiser for Little Shelter was held on the patio of The Refuge restaurant in Melville. Guests and supporters enjoyed a delicious brunch from the a la carte menu and special cocktails while accompanied by their beloved pets. There was a specially designed and supervised dog park, which was an exclusive experience for the dogs during this incredible event. In one afternoon, the auctions and raffles at the event raised over $2,000 to help the animals in need. “We are so grateful to our new friends at The Refuge. Their newly designed restaurant is gorgeous and the General Manager Tony Greco and his staff were incredible hosts,” David Ceely, executive director of Little Shelter, said. “Not only has this generous kick off event helped raise much needed funds to help the animals in our care; we were able to find homes for our homeless dogs who were showcased at the event.”

The Northport-East Northport school district congratulates high school freshman Peter Mainetti, whose musical composition, “Battle of the Strings,” will be featured at this year’s National Association for Music Education All-National Festival. Peter’s composition received a New York State School Music Association AllState designation and was selected from entrants nationwide to be honored at the

national conference. “Peter has created original compositions at a high level, way beyond his years,” Frank Doyle, Northport High School music theory teacher, said. “He has a unique ability to develop his ideas at the piano and transform them into colorful orchestrations.” The 2015 National Conference will take place on Oct. 28 at the Gaylord, Opryland, in Nashville, Tenn.

Marvelous musicians

Nine Harborfields High School student musicians have been invited to participate in the All-State Music Festival in the 2015 New York State School Music Association Winter Conference. In addition, 17 students received regional honors, as they have been selected to perform at this year’s New York State Council of Administrators of Music Education/Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association All-County Music Festival. Each of these students received outstanding scores for their performances at the NYSSMA solo and ensemble evaluation festivals last May. Students selected for All-County will perform at Huntington High School on Nov. 20, while All-State participants will travel to Rochester to perform in the NYSSMA Winter Concert from Dec. 3 to 6. The district commends all of the following students for their selection in the All-County and All-State music festivals. The 2015 NYSCAME/SCMEA

All-County musicians are: Hannah Bartfield, orchestra; Paul Fosella, mixed chorus; Nora Gleeson, orchestra; Marc Hochwald, orchestra; Scott Huffman, mixed chorus; Michaela Hunter, orchestra; Emma Kowalchuk, women’s choir; Gabrielle Mank, women’s choir; Emma Magnus, mixed chorus; Maxwell McGill, mixed chorus; Christian Ohlenschlaeger, mixed chorus; Jared Ross, mixed chorus; Donovan Snyder, orchestra; Samantha Schapero, women’s choir; Mariel Stein, mixed chorus; Erin Walden, band; and Eliana Wiseblatt, mixed chorus.

for an ambulance to arrive on the scene. If an ambulance can’t respond to the scene, mutual aid requests come into play. Mutual aid requests were designed to allow surrounding departments to assist each other during times of unusual demand for services, like mass casualty situations or disasters. Volunteer-based organizations like HCFAS also resort to mutual aid requests when they are unable to muster sufficient resources to staff an ambulance and respond to a call. During the first five months of 2015, HCFAS requested mutual aid 41 times compared to 23 times by all the adjacent departments. The study concludes with eight recommendations for the HCFAS to reduce its mutual aid requests. They include employing dedicated staff to provide coverage for shifts that are too difficult to staff with current volunteer squad members, restructuring the recruitment and orientation process to reduce time investment for prospective members, and more. It also states Huntington Town should mandate the submission of monthly performance measurements, including response time performance reports and establishing response

time expectations. Axelrod said she believes that there is a misunderstanding about what this study is about. “We are a busy department,” Axelrod said. “This year we will do 60,000 calls. We’re stripped of our percentage of calls we get in this report. The report doesn’t show that we respond to more calls than the five other departments combined.” She said this makes the report confusing, but there were helpful discoveries and some recommendations that HCFAS wants to integrate moving forward, according to Axelrod. She said the squad is changing how it brings in members as it’s currently a lengthy process. “The process is steeped in caution,” Axelrod said. “We are very careful when we vet people before we let them ride in an ambulance.” She also said the squad has considered non-volunteers, and has added a line item to their budget for 2016 to add paid personnel. According to Axelrod, the squad’s budget for this year will be cut by 15 percent, so they will have to look into other funds if they want to hire employees. “The bottom line is we do a great job and these other departments do a great job,” Axelrod said. “But when you take out the number of calls we respond to, it makes us look deficient.”

Eagles fall on Northport’s Theofield Senior striker scores hat trick in Tigers’ win over Copiague

Northport . . . . . . . . . . 4 Copiague . . . . . . . . . . . 2 By Desirée Keegan

Senior striker Charlie Theofield scored again, again and again Tuesday, to help propel the Northport boys’ soccer team to a 4-2 win over Copiague. “Everyone was working hard and we played well,” he said following the win. “The first goal came after my goalie Kiernan Kirby kicked it up, and I wasn’t ex-

pecting it at first, but it went in, and the other two came naturally — I was in the right place in the right time, like I should be.” Theofield got the Tigers on the scoreboard first when he chipped a shot in, over the Copiague goalkeeper’s head, as he came out the box to try to make a save, for the early 1-0 lead less than five minutes into the matchup. Fewer than 10 minutes later, Theofield did it again, with the same shot straight up the middle and over the goalkeeper’s head, to give his team a 2-0 advantage. “We pressed up a lot,” Theofield said. “Even thought we know we clinched playoffs, we should still be playing for first, and we’ve got to keep our offense up.” With 25 seconds left in the first half, sophomore midfielder Joseph Malico gained possession of the ball with a defender on his hip and sent his shot to the center of the net for a 3-0 lead heading into the halftime break. “I thought we played really hard all game long,” Northport head coach Don Strasser said. “I though Copiague played really strong — they never gave up and they battled, but putting away a couple of goals early on in the first half helps the team.” Less than three minutes into the second half, Copiague put its first point on the board, with a shot into the far left corner. After a long scoring drought, and a save by senior goalkeeper Ahmad Timsah to keep the score unchanged, Theofield scored his hat trick goal.

With 4:25 left, the Copiague goalkeeper came out of the net to make a save, and punched the ball away amid a flurry of opponents. He pushed the ball straight toward the feet of Theofield, who seized his opportunity and knocked it in past the diving keeper for a 4-1 lead. With 45 seconds left on the clock, Copiague scored its second goal of the game, to bring the final score to 4-2. “We sort of died out at the end, but most of the game we were taking it to them, and that’s what we need to do for the rest of the season,” Theofield said. “We’re going to playoffs, and we’re hoping to take it to states.” The team moves to 8-3 in League II

with the win, has only let an opponent score three goals once, and has only given up two goals twice this season. Despite losing two players in senior midfielder Dimitri Mendrinos and junior defender Ryan Pedersen, the team continues to rack up the wins. “Every game is really a battle, so we just always have to play our best game,” Strasser said. “Since Dimitri’s injury, we are 2-1, and this is the first game without Ryan, so the first half we were 5-2, and the second half, right now, we’re 3-1, so all is good so far. At any given day, some team can beat you, so you just have to be on task and play hard from whistle to whistle; so we have to continue to play well.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

Say ‘cheese’

When a car runs a red light in Suffolk County, does it make a sound? Yes. If you listen closely, you’ll hear your wallet being pried open. Beware the daring driver who goes through a yellow light to traverse a busy intersection. It’ll happen so suddenly. You’ll see a quick flash of white light, followed by a sinking feeling: You just ran a red. Flash forward weeks later when you get slapped with a $50 ticket. Let’s not forget the $30 administrative fee. And don’t be late with it, or else you could be hit with additional late fees of $25 or more. Suffolk County’s Red Light Safety Program just feels unjust. Ask any Long Islander about it, and you’re likely to get that eye-roll or an angry tone. It’s a “money grab,” they’ll say. And they already pay a ton in taxes to live here. Remember that story over the summer about the Centereach man who used an expandable pole to push the cameras toward the sky? It attracted much attention and numerous shares on social media. To the public, he was known as the “Red Light Robin Hood.” In a followup interview with Newsday after his arrest, the man, Stephen Ruth, defended his actions. “It’s abusive and it’s got to stop,” Ruth told Newsday reporters. “My taxes have doubled. … They keep taking more and more money from people. When is enough, enough?” GOPers in the Suffolk County Legislature say they feel like Ruth. Some Republicans are calling for greater scrutiny in the program, and some flat out disagree

with it all together. A press conference last week singled out the county’s red light program, dubbing it a cheap attempt at building revenue on the backs of everyday citizens. We agree with that notion, but we do not outright disagree with the program’s premise. Those drivers who purposely whiz through a red light deserve that ticket they’ll eventually receive in the mail, but we don’t feel the same way about drivers slapped with tickets for not stopping enough before a turn at right-on-red intersections. Cameras don’t capture enough of the oncoming traffic in an intersection, in our opinion, to appropriately determine whether or not a right on red was executed safely, and that — to us — is a textbook money grab.

TO THE EDITOR: As recently as the mid-1970s, dirty bituminous coal was the fuel of choice for heating large buildings in New York and London. Thousands of commercial buildings, factories and apartment complexes used coal since the early 19th century with no controls on the sulfur dioxide and particulates belching from their chimneys. Our automobiles used leaded gasoline with no pollution controls for almost 70 years. I remember the New York City diesel buses of my youth, spewing soot and toxins through the air, blackening the city with their exhaust. New York City temperatures routinely reached and exceeded 100 degrees in the summers of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. In the 1980s, we were warned about a new ice age. When that didn’t pan out, we switched to global warming. Our autos emit less than 5 percent of the pollutants of 30 years ago. Half of our smokestack

The county says red-light-running is “one of the major causes of crashes, deaths and injuries at signalized intersections.” The action killed 676 people and injured an estimated 113,000 in 2009, the year before the county program was enacted. And nearly two-thirds of the deaths were people other than the red-light-running drivers. But while it is a noble intention to stop speeders or those who flagrantly disobey the rules of the road, and to prevent fatalities from occurring, we agree with the notion that the measure is a money grab. We agree the county should stop and yield to the concerns of many and evaluate how to make the program better.

industries are gone, and those that remain and burn coal use electrostatic precipitators to filter pollution before it reaches the air. We worried about soot, carbon monoxide and heavy metals back then. Since those pollutants have been virtually eradicated from the air and water, now it’s carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is essential to plant life, which takes the CO2 and gives us oxygen in return. The global climate has been in flux for at least 5 billion years. I do not believe, at this late date, that human activity has contributed to global temperatures to any measurable degree. I know about the scientists who claim otherwise. Most are paid-off Europeans or agenda-driven quacks whose goal is to collapse what is left of U.S. industry. If indeed these scientists are correct about the link between carbon emissions and climate change, I say they should tell it to China, India and Brazil, who couldn’t care less. The wholesale deployment of inefficient technologies such as

windmills and solar panels harm the environment more than any other energy generation method currently in use. But if you repeat the myth loudly and long enough, fantasy becomes an inconvenient truth. The biggest threat to global climate change is right in front of our noses and nothing is being done to remediate it. That threat is the Iranian ICBM program, which is just about ready for prime time. Iran, with the help of North Korea is close to deploying multistage long-range missiles. The nuclear bomb is just around the corner. Once they perfect issues of telemetry and compatible warhead design, the fun will begin. Even the most rudimentary, Hiroshima-yield bomb, lobbed at Tel Aviv or elsewhere, will serve to trivialize all this CO2 nonsense. We will then learn all about man-made global warming. The lesson will take only 90 minutes to complete.

From Alcatraz to Brazil, a high-stakes mystery

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

an Francisco lures tourists from all over the country and world. It’s a magnificent city, with the crooked Lombard Street, sea lions barking and bathing at Pier 39, the trollies riding up and down the hills, the Golden Gate Bridge, Ghirardelli Square and, for me, friends and family who have moved there.

And then there’s Alcatraz. There’s something about that famous prison where Al Capone, among many others, spent difficult years of their lives, that draws people to this famous prison. Like Liberty Island and Ellis Island, Alcatraz Island has a spectacular view of its nearby city. It also offers numerous stories about the prisoners and their routines. I’ve been to the island three times, the last one with my wife and children. One of the details that stuck with me over the years was a testimonial by a prisoner who said the December holidays were always the most difficult time of the year, not only because the inmates missed their families, but also because they could hear the voices carried over the water of women and children singing Christmas carols. The prison also recounts some of the noteworthy escape attempts. The Battle of Alcatraz, which occurred in 1946, was a bloody two-

day siege in which prisoners and guards died. The most famous escape, however, was the 1962 flight by brothers John and Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris, which was recreated in the 1979 movie, “Escape from Alcatraz,” starring Clint Eastwood. The trio, who were convicted of bank robberies, made fake heads, complete with their own hair, that they left in their beds, giving them time to head to a raft constructed out of raincoats. The official version of the events of that night suggests that the three drowned in the bay. I’ve never been convinced of that perhaps because I was influenced by the Eastwood movie and also because it seemed like an unlikely ending for three men who had so meticulously planned their escape. This past Monday, the History Channel shared a photo from relatives who said it showed the two brothers in Brazil in 1975. The show suggests that it could be

these men, who would be in their 80s today. The investigation is reportedly considered open until the escapees reach 100 years old. Is it them? Is this another step toward solving a mystery that’s 20 years older than the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa? There’s a part of me that would like to think it’s them and that, after that incredible planning, they started their lives again in another country, hopefully without causing harm to anyone else while keeping a low profile for all these years. This is not the same as murderers David Sweat and Richard Matt, whose recent escape from an upstate New York prison terrified the nearby areas because they might threaten or hurt people. Armed robbers can and should be punished, even if they are clever enough to have managed to escape from one of the most famous prisons in the world. Their escape, however, raises compelling questions about the

routes people take in their lives. If these three men were that clever, that tolerant of high risk and that prepared to outmaneuver even the most escape-proof prison, imagine what they could have done with their lives if they had decided to contribute to society? They didn’t discover a new technology, cure cancer or make the country safer from a possible terrorist attack. What they did, however, was remarkable and dramatic, with enormous high stakes. They may have defied the odds, survived and lived for decades in Brazil. It connects the dots on a story that had blank pages filled with mystery for all these years.

China, most ancient and modern

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

here were highlights in each city we visited in China, and I would like to share those with you in this last installment of my trip tagging along on my son’s speaking itinerary. We flew 16 hours to Shanghai, the gateway to that huge country. Someone likened Shanghai to New York and Beijing to Washington, D.C., because the Chinese federal government is in the latter city while the former is thought of as more of a cultural and fun place. Shanghai is dazzling for its skyscrapers, night-lights akin

to Times Square and history, particularly as displayed by its impressive 19th-century architecture along the Bund on the riverfront. The western powers, that forced China open then, built their customs houses and administrative headquarters there, and now those buildings are icons of success because Chinese in corporations and government offices people them. They look out across the Huangpu River on the newest and most luxurious section of the city, Pudong, which was originally swamps and slums but now houses the Shanghai World Financial Center in futuristic high-risers and the Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower. My favorite place in the city is the Shanghai Museum, with its four floors displaying cultural relics and artifacts from more than 5,000 years ago. The architecture of the building itself symbolizes “a round heaven and a square earth.” Most impressive are the bronze items, largely for cooking and wine, that speak to the sophistication of these people thousands of years ago. Inside the museum is a large atrium from which the

floors above are visible The collections may represent antiquity but the escalators efficiently carrying visitors from floor to floor convey modernity. And typical of Chinese zeal for business, there is a small gift shop on every floor in addition to the main one at the entrance. Calligraphy, pottery, jade, sculptures and bronze reproductions offer the visitor take-home reproductions of the treasures exhibited in the museum. Shanghai is also known for a humanitarian action taken between 1933-41. At that time the city welcomed 30,000 Jewish refugees fleeing Europe. Despite orders from the Nazi leaders demanding the refugees be turned over by Japan, their allies who then occupied China, the Jews were not. But Mao expelled all Westerners after his victory in 1949. Suzhou, a half-hour bullet train ride from Shanghai, is famous for its canals and gardens. An outstanding example we enjoyed was the Humble Administrator’s Garden, a 16th-century gem with small ponds, bridges and secluded pavilions. Hangzhou, another short train ride from Shanghai in the other

direction, was termed by Marco Polo, “the City of Heaven,” and surrounds beautiful West Lake. Every evening on the lake is a sight to behold. Called “Impression West Lake,” it is a water, light and animation show created by Zhang Yimou, who co-directed the 2008 Summer Olympics opening and closing ceremonies. The entire production appears to take place improbably atop the water. Nanjing, a walled city on the banks of the Yangzi River and in front of Purple Mountain, was next, one-and-a-half hours farther by train. Often the capital of the country through the centuries and the site of Dr. Sun Yatsen’s Mausoleum, the city is also known for the brutality perpetrated by the invading Japanese army in 1937. Up to 400,000 people are thought to have been killed during that time which is still angry subject matter between the two countries. However, that doesn’t prevent China today from using police cars made by Honda. We then flew a couple of hours northeast to Changchun, which is well off the tourism path.

movie, “The Last Emperor,” the city is the center of car production. From here we were driven six hours, over every type of roadway from wide new highway to bumpy and twisting dirt surfaces and through thousands of acres of undeveloped forests, to a spectacular volcanic mountain jutting up against the border with North Korea. Changbaishan has a crater lake in its midst at better than 8,000 feet and is reached via a roller-coaster drive. The circumference of the mountaintop is an easy 9 miles hike, but we were severely warned not to do so lest the neighboring border guards arrest us. Last stop was Beijing, another airplane ride southwest. There we managed to walk through the three tourist musts: the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. These have been dramatically commercialized since my last visit 10 years earlier, but they still are worthy, as is this most ancient and modern country, of everyone’s bucket list.

Playing a rare Sunday game after a fierce storm postponed Friday night’s contest, the Blue Devils needed a victory badly to stay in the hunt for a postseason berth. Huntington led at halftime, 20-6 and was never seriously threatened, despite a few ill-timed penalties. The victory improved the Blue Devils’ record to 2-3, while the loss dropped Deer Park to 4-1. Huntington plays at Centereach on Saturday at 2 p.m. The Blue Devils will look to even their record at 3-3. Centereach (3-2) fell on Saturday to West Islip, 41-0. “We need a good practice week to get ready for Centereach,” Muller said. “There is always a lot of things to work on.
