An officer and a good Samaritan from Kings Park rescued an elderly woman from a burning home in Eaton’s Neck on Feb. 10, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. The 2nd Precinct’s Matthew Funaro responded to the house fire on Old Winkle Point Road in Eaton’s Neck at 4:45 p.m. to find flames and heavy smoke coming from the second floor, police said. He went inside and found 88-year-old Helen Morris, who was in a wheelchair, in the first-floor living room. With help from 55-year-old oil technician and Kings Park resident Joseph Cartelli, Funaro carried Morris out to safety, police said. She was then transported to Huntington Hospital by the Eaton’s Neck Rescue Squad and treated for minor, non-life-threatening injuries,

Eaton’s Neck Assistant Fire Chief Richard Rizzuti said. According to Rizzuti, the Eaton’s Neck and Northport fire departments worked together to put out the blaze at the house located just off Northport Bay. “It was challenging because of the terrain,” Rizzuti said in a phone interview. “There were 30 winding steps down to her house because her property is located at the beach level.” Rizzuti said it took a while to get a specialty hose line set up because of the landscape, but by 6:15 p.m., the fire was completely out. He also said they battled a content fire due to the fact that only the bed and comforters went up in flames and none of the structural parts of the house. Detectives from the SCPD’s Arson Squad were investigating the cause of the fire, police said.

Sex offenders to start dropping off registry By Elana Glowatz

Suffolk County is entering obscure territory this year as some sex offenders drop off the state registry and others have lost restrictions on where they can live. It was one year ago that the New York State Court of Appeals ruled that local laws restricting where sex offenders could live were invalid, following a lawsuit from a registered offender from Nassau County who challenged his own government’s rule that prohibited him from living within 1,000 feet from a school. Judge Eugene Pigott Jr. wrote in his decision that “a local government’s police power is not absolute” and is pre-empted by state law. State regulations already prohibit certain sex offenders who are on parole or probation from living within 1,000 feet of a school or other child care facility, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, but the local laws went further. In Suffolk County, Chapter 745 made it illegal for all registered sex offenders — not just those on parole or probation — to live within a quarter mile of schools, day care centers, playgrounds or their victims. But following Pigott’s decision, that law, while still technically on

the books, is no longer enforceable. To make matters more complicated, Jan. 1 marked the beginning of the end for some of the lowest level sex offenders on the state registry. Offenders are grouped into one of three levels based on their perceived risk of committing another sex crime. On the lowest rung, Level 1 offenders who have not received special designations for being violent, being repeat offenders or having a “mental abnormality or personality disorder” that makes the person “likely to engage in predatory sexually violent offenses,” according to the Division of Criminal Justice Services, are only included on the registry for 20 years from their conviction. The New York State correction law enacting that system has just turned 20 years old, meaning the earliest offenders added to the registry are beginning to drop off. The Sex Offender Registration Act obligates Level 2 and Level 3 offenders, as well as those with the additional designations, to remain on the registry for life, although there is a provision under which certain Level 2 offenders can appeal to be removed after a period of 30 years. At a recent civic association meeting in

laura ahearn has advocated for local governments to have the power to regulate where registered sex offenders live.

Port Jefferson Station, Laura Ahearn from the advocacy group Parents for Megan’s Law — which raises awareness about sex crime issues and monitors offenders — gave examples of offenders set to come off the registry this year, including a man who raped a 4-year-old girl, and another who raped and sodomized a woman. But it doesn’t stop there.

“It is thousands over time that are going to drop off,” Ahearn said. A database search of Level 1 offenders along the North Shore of Suffolk County turned up many offenders who had been convicted of statutory rape or possession of child pornography, and who had served little to no time in jail.

SEX OFFENDERS Continued from page A3

there were more serious offenses as well. Some of the undesignated Level 1 offenders who were convicted shortly after the Sex Offender Registration Act was created include a Smithtown man, now 43, convicted of first-degree sexual abuse against a 19-year-old; a 61-year-old Rocky Point man who sexually abused a 12-yearold girl more than once; a Huntington man, now 40, who sexually abused an 11-year-old; and a Rocky Point man convicted of incest with a 17-year-old. Ahearn’s group has argued that sex offenders are more likely to reoffend as time goes on. According to Parents for Megan’s Law, recidivism rates are estimated to be 14 percent after five years and 27 percent after 20 years. One midnight in January, Suffolk

County police arrested a 48-year-old man, later discovered to be a registered Level 1 sex offender, in Fort Salonga after the suspect was allegedly caught undressed inside a vehicle with a 14-year-old boy. Police reported at the time that the two arranged the meeting over a cellphone application and there had been sexual contact. The man had been convicted of sexual misconduct with a 16-year-old girl in 2003 and was sentenced to six years of probation. His new charges included criminal sex act and endangering the welfare of a child. “So it makes no sense logically” to let Level 1 offenders drop off the registry after 20 years, Ahearn said in Port Jefferson Station. She has advocated for the terms to be extended or to have offenders appeal to be removed from the registry, like Level 2 offenders can after 30 years, so it can be

decided on a case-by-case basis. It’s a “you-know-it-when-you-see-it kind of thing, because you know when an adult man or an adult woman rapes a 4-year-old, that is just shocking,” she said. “That [should be] a lifetime registration.” Even if the offenders remain on the registry, the court ruling that struck down restrictions on where most offenders can live has made matters trickier. Ahearn said the fact that multiple layers of local government had enacted restrictions contributed to the situation. “What happened is it got out of control,” she said. Below the Suffolk County level, for example, the Town of Brookhaven had its own restrictions that prohibited offenders from living within a quarter mile of schools, playgrounds or parks. There are bills floating around the state government that would tighten restrictions on where certain sex offenders could live, but

the only one that has gained traction is a bill state Sen. Michael Venditto (R-Massapequa) sponsored along with state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) that would return to local governments the power to regulate where offenders can reside. “Local laws designed to protect children against registered sex offenders are enacted in response to unique conditions and concerns of specific communities and should act in complement with existing state law,” the bill’s summary read. Although the bill passed the Senate last year, it died in the Assembly. But Venditto reintroduced his proposal this year.

OPINION

PFC Dwyer program: helping our veterans Your turn

BY LEE ZELDIN

The images that flash across our TVs of war-torn countries and populations in strife are rampant and inescapable in today’s society. Whether it is ISIS, al-Qaida, or any other foreign enemy that seeks to kill innocent people, it takes a wellequipped and strong-willed force to fight back. Our nation has always been blessed with brave men and women who have answered the call to service; willingly and selflessly putting their lives on the line while defending our great country. However, while overseas, our service members are exposed to unimaginable horror and suffering, sometimes leaving them both physically and mentally scarred. While we can determine many of the appropriate remedies, utilizing modern medicine and science to treat their physical wounds, it is the mental damage that leaves us often ill-prepared and without a proper plan of action to effectively deal with their suffering. For many of our service members returning from overseas, their hardships and trauma corrupt their psyches and follow them from the battlegrounds to the safety and comfort of their homes. The months and years of training they received to fight the enemy on the front lines is not sufficient to help them deal with their problems on the home front. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury are ravaging our veterans and their loved ones at a truly staggering rate. It is estimated that 11-20 out of every 100 veterans who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom, have PTSD. In addition, the research and studies available now to help understand these problems were non-existent in previous decades; leaving generations of veterans from conflicts like Vietnam and the Gulf War continually discovering that they may be experiencing symptoms of PTSD or TBI. Perhaps the single most alarming statistic is the suicide rate amongst our veterans. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, it is estimated that 22 veterans a day commit suicide. Without the proper resources or care of mental health professionals, they simply cannot cope with the horrific flashbacks or relentless anxiety that plagues and quashes any sort of normalcy they would hope to experience upon

While I Created and dedicated in his honor, am pleased with what we’ve managed to

achieve in New York with regard to the Dwyer project, we can and should still be doing more to help the brave men and women who put everything on the line for us. That is why I am introducing legislation in Congress that will expand the PFC Joseph Dwyer veteran peer program on a national level. I want to ensure all veterans across this great nation receive the proper treatment and care they deserve. We must take what we’ve accomplished here in New York and build from it so that someday we can have a peer-topeer support group help veterans in every county across America. I know the Dwyer program will help bring much-needed support and assistance to thousands, and someday millions, of veterans and their families across the United States. No longer should a veteran feel shame or guilt in seeking help for him or herself. He or she should be able to utilize the services of their local vet-to-vet support group to help them effectively deal with whatever stress is bothering them. That is the goal and it is time we come together as citizens of the United States to fulfill our obligations and do more to help our veterans lead happy and meaningful lives. It is a long and arduous road to recovery for some, but I am convinced that the willpower and solidarity of this nation behind a common cause can help ameliorate the transition to post-service life for our veterans. It is vital we keep ever-present that our veterans have been willing to make the greatest sacrifice any one individual can give to another — their life. The Dwyer program is an important way for Americans to give back and say thank you.

In Congress, two of Lee Zeldin’s committee assignments are Veterans’ Affairs and Foreign Affairs.

PEOPLE Commack school collects soup for hungry

North Ridge Primary School in Commack held its annual “Souper Bowl” and collected a total of 3,903 cans and bags of soup. Mrs. Esposito, the gym teacher at North Ridge, decided to “sculpt” the cans into the shape of a giant airplane. Each day when the children came to gym, they were amazed at how well the sculpture was taking shape and this motivated them to bring in more and more soup. All the soup was donated to Long Island Cares, which is one of the region’s most comprehensive hunger action organizations. Long Island Cares serves individuals and families in need, and much of their success is due to the support they receive from donations. Congratulations to Mrs. Eberhardt and Mrs. Povey’s class who won the “Souper Bowl” by donating more than 1,000 cans of soup. Photo from Commack school district

Students from Commack’s North Ridge Primary School celebrate the donation.

Goldilocks goes on trial at Mt. Pleasant

Fifth-graders at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District put Goldilocks on trial on Feb 4. Goldilocks was accused of trespassing at the Three Bears’ home, eating Papa Bear’s porridge and leftover chicken, stealing money (petty larceny), trying on Mama Bear’s dresses and breaking a rocking chair (criminal mischief). Goldilocks went on trial against the plaintiffs, the Three Bears. As Goldilocks’ lawyers and the prosecution went toe-to-toe trying to prove their respective clients’ cases, other fairy tale characters were called to testify as witnesses including the Big Bad Wolf, Little Red Riding Hood, the Gingerbread Man, the Three Blind Mice, Chicken Little and more. After hearing all the facts in the case, the jury handed down a verdict and sentencing for Goldilocks, which varied from class to class.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

North Shore hero: Veteran keeps giving back

Photos from Langhorn

Butch langhorn has served his nation for decades. Above, he is pictured with his family. Right, in uniform during his Army days. By Rich AcRitelli

To say that Long Island native Butch Langhorn has lived a full life would be an understatement. As a veteran and a community man, he has both seen a lot and given a lot back to the county that raised him. From his youth, Langhorn was a gifted three-sport athlete, excelling in football, basketball and track for Riverhead High School. His impact was so great that he held the record for the triple jump for 10 years after his graduation. In 1964, the young man enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Totten in Bayside, Queens. While he worked in the personnel office, his sporting abilities allowed him the chance to play basketball within the Special Services of the Army. Langhorn competed as a 5-foot-8-inch guard against many who had experience playing semiprofessional and Division I hoops. The servicemen competing had the rare opportunity of representing their military bases in games that ranged from Maine to New Jersey. The next year, Langhorn was deployed to South Vietnam, where he saw the earliest action of the war in Southeast Asia. In an interview, he noted the beauty of the nation and the influence of French culture on the former capital of Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City. For a couple of months, Langhorn was a gunner on a helicopter that flew into the major combat areas of South Vietnam, engaged against the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong. He was tasked with helping medical evacuation crews with the vital mission of returning wounded and dead U.S. soldiers to American bases. As a young African-American soldier during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, Langhorn observed the treatment of blacks in South Vietnam. According to Langhorn, he had a relationship with a local woman of French descent who took him home to meet her family. When he met her mother, the woman told him to shower and take a nap before dinner. Again he came into her presence and she wrongly believed that he was a white soldier who had too much dirt

on his skin. It was one example of a different racial experience for Langhorn — he quickly learned that most of the black soldiers who were fighting against the communists in South Vietnam were not understood by the very people they were trying to protect. After more than a year overseas, Langhorn went home to finish his Army tour. By 1971, he quickly reenlisted as an active guardsmen reservist, serving full-time for the New York 106th Air National Guard base in Westhampton Beach. For many years, he was the head of the recruiting station that brought in many fine airmen, noncommissioned officers and officers. Langhorn had a prideful hand in signing military members from different backgrounds to enhance the Air Force wing. Many of the men and women he recruited have been deployed to the Middle East to fight the war on terror, conducted massive air-sea rescues in the Atlantic Ocean, endured the rigors of the elite pararescue jumper training and deployments, and tackled the older mission of aiding space shuttle landings. Langhorn later oversaw the personnel department that was responsible for sorting out the paperwork needs of the military unit. Langhorn may be retired after serving four decades in uniform, but he is still a dominant member of his community and has spent a lot of that time trying to help young people. He served on the Riverhead Central School District Board of Education for five years, working to keep athletics and other programs in the schools, and as a current assistant for the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, he organizes educational programs that bring high school criminal justice students to visit the county jail. In his role, he also helps guide nonprofit groups that are focused on rehabilitating inmates. In addition, former Congressmen Michael Forbes and Tim Bishop both recognized Langhorn’s professionalism, and he served as an instrumental member of their staffs to handle veterans affairs. Since his youth, this North Shore citizen has given back to his society and to his nation. TBR Newspapers salutes him during Black History Month.

OPINION

ediToriAL

New York State should establish uniform rules for where registered sex offenders can live, with an eye on distances from their victims as well as schools and playgrounds like the one above.

New York State should carry the torch

Laws governing sex offenders have turned a corner over the last year. County and town governments recently lost the authority to regulate where registered sex offenders are allowed to live. That power now rests solely with New York State, which only limits offenders on parole or probation. While we appreciate the good intention behind one state senator’s bill to let local governments enact their own residency restrictions, it is not ideal. Part of the reason the local municipalities’ authority was overturned in the New York State Court of Appeals last year is that there were too many layers of restrictions. in just our area alone, both Suffolk County and the Town of Brookhaven had their own separate restrictions on where registered sex offenders could reside in their jurisdictions. There should be laws that prevent sex offenders from living within certain distances from schools or their victims, but allowing each county, town or village to decide on their own creates a mishmash of rules that are nearly impossible to follow. When this is the process, there are counties and towns next door to one another, or even overlapping, with different rules. That makes it more difficult for sex offenders to comply, and it would benefit us all if offenders are more able to actually comply with the laws we have enacted. in addition, clean-cut laws that are easy to identify, and thus follow, would also likely bring peace of mind to their victims, who deserve to feel safe. The onus should be on the state to design more comprehensive restrictions on where registered sex offenders can live. That system should include required distances from victims’ homes and places of employment, as well as schools, playgrounds and other places where children gather. And the regulations should vary slightly based upon a community’s density, so as not to treat urban, suburban and rural areas as if they are the same. Although more state regulation is not always an appealing idea, this is one of those cases when we need the state to intervene, in order to make enforcement more uniform. And it is an important issue, because it has an immediate impact on our children and on the sex crime victims we have a moral responsibility to protect.

Parenting debate To The ediTor: “The Collapse of Parenting: how We hurt our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups” by dr. Leonard Sax has been published recently by Basic Books. The catchy main title caught my attention and seems to hit the nail on the head about parenting today. My parenting days are over, but i have found Sax’s book enlightening. Many of my peers — 70 years or older — gripe about the parenting practices of today, especially of the parenting of our kids who are now parents. Sax helps explain what we gripe and shrug our shoulders about. “What can you do?” we say. The book helps me understand my kids’ parenting styles. There

his incredible qualities, but it was so heartwarming to read all the letters and to hear all the comments about the hundreds of lives that dick touched. We have lived here since 1962 and our lives have been enriched by being involved in many areas of both the university and the community. We consider ourselves fortunate to have met so is no doubt that parenting has changed during my lifetime. “The Collapse of Parenting” discusses the culture of respect versus the culture of disrespect as well as the shift from parent-orientated culture to peer-orientated culture. There are also discussions on topics like conscientiousness, humility, integrity, service, self-esteem, selfconcept, self-control, work, chores, gratitude, contentment, discontent, appreciation, and other values and traits. The balance of activities, limits to social media, cellphones and screen time are all explained in their relationship to parenting. in his conclusion, Sax reviews the shift of our culture, medication of our children and the over-scheduling of our children’s lives and,

many wonderful folks and to have heard from them about their admiration and love of dick. We are sure his good works will live on and he will live in many of our hearts and memories. Again, a very warm thank you. The Solo family: Julie, david, Michael, Susan and Nomi Port Jefferson in turn, our own lives. does some of this strike a chord with your style of parenting? of course, each parent should ask what kind of role model he or she is as a person and as a parent. in his last chapter, Sax lists a number of things you have to or must do for the sake of your child and help create an alternative culture in your home. if you are a parent of young children, read this book and discuss and debate its contents with friends who are parents. Consider discussing some of the topics at the dinner table. hopefully you will find this book as interesting and enlightening as i have. There might even be a chance that it will help you “reboot” on how you parent. Fred drewes Mount Sinai

Einstein’s theory continues to make waves with new discovery

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

bout 61 years after he died, Albert Einstein is still right. The legendary theoretical physicist predicted a century ago that a space time continuum would contain gravitational waves. This past September, a team of more than 1,000 scientists heard a sound from a billion light-years away that was generated by two black holes colliding. The scientists were working at the Laser

Interferometer GravitationalWave Observatory, known as LIGO. The announcement of the results, made on Feb. 11, was greeted with considerable excitement by physicists, mathematicians and scientists, with one of them saying that astronomers have long had eyes but this breakthrough gives them ears, too. I asked Marilena LoVerde and Patrick Meade, Stony Brook University assistant professors at the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics, for their take on the big announcement. DD: How does the significance of any potential finding of gravitational waves compare to that for the Higgs boson particle? Some people have suggested that it’s on the scale, if not larger, than the Higgs boson particle. PM: I would certainly say it’s a very big discovery. However, unlike the Higgs, gravitational waves were on a much stronger footing that they should exist. The Higgs told us something

new about how the universe worked, and it didn’t have to be true — there were many other options. However, gravitational waves are exciting because it’s a validation of the theory we already use, general relativity, and it may provide a new way to search for physics we haven’t discovered yet. ML: This is absolutely on the scale of the Higgs boson. Similar to the Higgs boson, gravitational waves were predicted and expected to exist — and in fact indirectly measured through the spin down of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar — but the direct detection of gravitational waves is an absolute triumph of experimental physics and opens an exciting new era of gravitational wave astronomy. DD: What has the email traffic about this announcement been during the last week? Have you received emails from scientists, colleagues, collaborators and friends who all want to know what this would mean and what you make of it?

ML: Rumors have been going around for months, but the frequency of people emailing/ discussing such rumors and adding pieces of evidence suggesting they were true, and the details of the rumors have all increased significantly in the past few weeks. PM: Since this isn’t directly my field I wasn’t as involved as with some other rumors, but rumors through Twitter, blogs and conversations with colleagues at other places who heard things were all happening over about the last month. DD: Is there a chance that whatever was detected was an artifact? ML: The signal looks very compelling. Of course I haven’t had much time to study the details of the statistical methods used to extract the signal and I’m looking forward to doing that. PM: I’d say it’s extremely unlikely to be an artifact or statistical anomaly, because the same signal was seen in two separate detectors — one in Washington [state] and one in Louisiana.

Astronomers have long had eyes but this breakthrough gives them ears, too. DD: Will the existence and detection of gravitational waves open up the sky to enable us to “see” much more than we can now in terms of matter and the universe? Will they help us see and understand dark matter and dark energy? PM: Gravitational waves definitely open up a whole new way to see the universe. However they won’t directly give us any information on dark matter or dark energy in the foreseeable future. To make gravitational waves that are observable with our technology you need very violent gravitational events, like these two black holes merging that LIGO saw. However, by developing new detectors with better sensitivity we may be able to look back and see other violent events in the history of the universe.

George Washington, an unlikely whiskey baron

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

his past Monday was Presidents Day, and we might have been thinking of our great presidents, if we were thinking of them at all in the midst of a vacation day, as being larger than life. However, in a recent biogra-

phy of George Washington, Ron Chernow tells us that for all the 8,000 acres of splendid estate and many slaves to work the property, Washington when he retired from the presidency in 1797, was hard up for cash. Financial pressure was “unrelenting.” I don’t know about you, but to me that makes him a more human founding father, one almost every business person and resident can identify with. So what did the father of our country do? He looked around his farmland for a new profit source, one that would supply cash rather quickly, and came up with the idea of making whiskey. It was not, The New York Times tells us in a recent article, his idea alone. His new plantation manager, James Anderson, was a Scotsman

and distiller. Mount Vernon had plenty of rye and together with what Washington called “Indian corn” and a still, they were able to make ample supplies of whiskey. Now this is not how we usually think of our first president, the guy who chopped down the cherry tree and the president who sent militiamen to quash the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania when local distillers revolted against a federally imposed whiskey tax. Washington was aware of his image problem but, entrepreneur that he needed to be, he became something of a whiskey baron. In the first full year of operation, almost 11,000 gallons were produced and the whiskey earned a profit equivalent to some $142,000

in today’s dollars. A distillery was built that was one of the largest of the time. Washington blamed his new success on Anderson, unwilling to take personal credit. The distillery was rebuilt after tours of Mount Vernon began and can be viewed by the many visitors to the estate each year. The old recipe is still used when samples are handed out. Washington did enjoy alcohol, favoring “sweet wines, rum punch and whiskey,” but his reputation for alcohol in moderation was established by his stern action toward his troops when they became drunk and his reluctance to pass out drinks when he ran the first time for election to the Virginia House of Burgesses. His opponent did and duly won. A quick study,

Now this is not how we think of our first president. Washington did so the next time he ran, and this time he was successful. Unfortunately for Washington, he was not able to realize a growing success from his whiskey efforts. In 1799, the second full year of production, he died at the age of 67. He willed the distillery to a granddaughter of his wife Martha, but a fire destroyed the operation in 1814. Only relatively recently has this chapter in Washington’s life become widely known, and it adds a colorful dimension to the man and his myth.
