Revolutionary War artifacts unearthed BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Archaeologists from the Lamar Institute began a month-long search April 15 for Revolutionary War artifacts at three known Long Island battlefields located in Fort Salonga, Setauket and Lloyd Neck. So far, they’ve turned up musket balls, buck shot, grape shot, uniform remnants and other military paraphernalia. “All three battlefields are poorly understood in history,” said Daniel Elliott, president of the Lamar Institute. “This project seeks to locate and delineate the three battlefields and to interpret their findings, advancing our understanding of Long Island’s important role in the American Revolution.” Their “dig” includes extensive research with ground-penetrating radar, systematic controlled metal detection survey, small excavations of key targets, laser transit mapping, drone-assisted aerial videography, laboratory analysis and public presentations. Fort Slongo, as published on the Fort Salonga Association website, was a Britishheld encampment. On the night of Oct. 3, 1781, a Patriot soldier named Elijah Churchill sailed across the Long Island Sound to lead

an attack on British soldiers at the site. The Patriots burned down the fort and won the battle and took prisoners. Two British soldiers were killed. Churchill was the only wounded colonist. For his courage, Gen. George Washington personally awarded Churchill a military merit badge, which eventually became the Purple Heart. Smithtown historian Brad Harris said that Fort Slongo has been considered an elaborate “block” fortification measuring 50 by 50 feet that housed four canons in an elevated threestory structure. “It’s fascinating,” Harris said. “This is virgin ground they’re exploring.” The Fort Slongo battle, he said, is considered to have been a quick skirmish. The archaeologists’ dig at Fort Franklin in Lloyd Neck got off to a great start April 29, when archaeologist Rita Elliott, Dan’s wife, located a fired Patriot musket ball on her first metal detector target. That was followed soon after by local historian David Griffin’s find of a larger British musket ball. “We were on the ‘field of fire’ of the July 1781 battle,” Dan Elliott said from the field via email with The Times of Smithtown and The Times of Huntington. Both the Fort Slongo and Fort Franklin

sites are on private, undisclosed North Shore properties. Fort Slongo, according to Harris, once sat on a hill overlooking the Long Island Sound, a vantage point that would have served the troops well. Harris is looking forward to seeing if the archaeologists’ findings are consistent with the bible of events currently believed to have taken place in the area. The work is funded by a $60,000 grant from the National Park Services’ American

Battlefield Protection Program and a $5,200 contribution from the Lamar Institute. The Lamar Institute is a nonprofit organization established in 1982 with the mission to conduct archaeological research and advance public archaeological education. The public can see the resulting interpretations when completed by September 2020 on the Lamar Institutes’s website at www.thelamarinstitute.org.

Soldiers adopt war-torn dogs with the charitable aid of local organization BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

War is hell, but soldiers find solace in rescuing and adopting scared and abused animals from the battlefields overseas. Paws of War, a nonprofit organization based in Nesconset, is dedicated to aiding veterans and their pets through an array of programs. Funded entirely by donations, it’s become a unique charitable cause that has caught the attention of local lawmakers as well as people actively serving in the military. Tim Boyd is a U.S. soldier assisting Special Forces in the fight against ISIS, stationed in war-torn Afghanistan. He’s heading back to his home in Dallas, Georgia to retire after serving three decades in the military. He’s reached out to Paws of War to help transport a young dog named Mischa that he and his unit befriended, after rescuing the animal from abuse. Paws of War typically helps reunite four dogs with soldiers each year and Boyd and Mischa are one of this year’s recipients of their altruism. “Humans truly have it backwards. We think we are rescuing the animal,” Boy said via email from an undisclosed location. “That is so much not the case, not with our fur babies. They undoubtedly rescued us.” Soldiers saw the young animal being dragged by her neck, so they rescued and cared for her. Once stateside and out of “this godforsaken place,” Boyd said the dog can lay on his furniture instead of tearing up her feet

running and walking the terrain of Nangarhar, Afghanistan. When soldiers choose to adopt a dog found while serving the military, the process is intensive. “There’s a lot of red tape involved,” according to Robert Misseri, co-founder of Paws of War. Transporting the dog alone can cost $6,000, his office staff explained. That fee does not include the cost to travel to Georgia, once the dog arrives at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The flight, health certificates, customs fees and boarding along the way are all part of the expense. Mischa is expected to arrive stateside before Boyd. His wife, Tara, will welcome Mischa, who already has adopted Mischa’s sister Bella Lynn. “Bella is also a pup that rescued me and our family when I found her washed under some tree branches out in the middle of the woods,” Boyd said. Once Boyd and his troops return, he said he will be free to send a group photo that he has taken of Mischa with the unit. “I appreciate any and all assistance that people can provide in helping make Mission Mischa a successful operation,” Boyd said. “She needs to come home with me. I can’t imagine it any other way.” Paws of War also provides service and therapy dogs to veterans suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. People interested in knowing more about Paws of War programs or who might want to help with Mission Mischa can visit www.pawsofwar.org.

Former cop and Commack resident charged with vehicular manslaughter Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini today announced the indictment of a retired NYPD officer for allegedly driving while intoxicated and causing the death of his passenger in a motor vehicle crash in Commack. Patrick McMahon, 48, of Commack, is charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, a B felony; manslaughter in the second degree, a C felony; two counts of vehicular manslaughter in the second degree, a D felony; aggravated driving while intoxicated, an unclassified misdemeanor; two counts of driving while intoxicated, an unclassified misdemeanor; reckless endangerment in the second degree, an A misdemeanor; reckless driving, an

unclassified misdemeanor; and speeding, a traffic infraction. “There is no excuse in this day and age to drive drunk, particularly for this defendant as a former member of law enforcement,” Sini said. “He made the reckless, senseless decision to put the lives of his passengers and the lives of other motorists on the road in danger, and that decision proved fatal.” At approximately 2 a.m. on Jan. 13, McMahon was driving a 2018 Infiniti Q60 westbound on Dovecote Lane on his way home from Blush Night Club, located at 53 Veterans Memorial Highway, with two passengers in his vehicle. McMahon allegedly crossed into the eastbound lane, mounted the curb and

drove onto the front lawn of the residence at 96 Dovecote Lane. As the vehicle crossed the lawn, it struck a brick pillar and multiple trees before overturning and coming to a stop on the front lawn of the residence located at 94 Dovecote Lane. Two of the Infiniti’s wheels were sheared off the vehicle and landed on the opposite side of the street. Steven Sarvis, 32, of Ronkonkoma, a passenger in the backseat of the Infiniti, was transported to St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown where he was pronounced dead. A blood test revealed McMahon had a blood alcohol level of 0.18 percent approximately an hour-and-a-half after the crash occurred.

McMahon was arraigned on the indictment by Suffolk County Acting Supreme Court Justice Fernando Camacho. Bail was set at $125,000 cash or $250,000 bond. He is due back in court on June 12. If convicted of the top count, McMahon faces a maximum sentence of eight and onethird to 25 years in prison. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney James Curtin, of the Vehicular Crime Bureau. A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Flanagan supports food drive New York State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) is once again supporting the National Association of Letter Carriers during the 27th Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. On Saturday, May 11, letter carriers throughout the nation will be collecting donations of non-perishable items along their normal mail routes to help families in need. To assist the letter carriers in this charitable endeavor, Flanagan’s office will be serving as a collection point. The office will be accepting donations at 260 Middle Country Road, Suite 102, in Smithtown from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday through May 10. For residents who prefer to make their donation at their residence, items will be collected during normal mail routes on May 11. All donations should be placed by the mailbox or at the front door to allow for easy pickup. While most post offices are participating in the program, residents are encouraged to check with their personal mail carrier to confirm participation. This event provides food banks, pantries and shelters with needed supplies so they can help those in need. Last year, the drive collected 71.6 million pounds of

nonperishable items. According to the NALC, the most requested foods include: • cereal • pasta • pasta sauce • rice • canned fruits and vegetables • canned meals: soups, chili, pasta • 100 percent juice • peanut butter • macaroni and cheese • canned protein: tuna, chicken, turkey • beans: canned or dry They also recommend donating healthy, low-sodium, low-sugar items such as beans, oatmeal and other whole grains, and canola or olive oil. The organization asks residents to avoid donating expired items, frozen food, homemade food, home-canned items or food in glass jars. They also note that, in keeping with good food handling and food safety procedures, food that is opened, damaged, out of code or does not have the official ingredients included will be discarded by the food bank in the sorting process. “The men and women of the United States Postal Service undertake this food drive every year to help provide food banks, pantries and shelters with essential supplies and we are thrilled to be able to join them in this endeavor. Through their efforts, the USPS workers will help make sure that families in our community will have access to the assistance they need, and we thank them for their efforts. We are again proud to join with the USPS in their food drive and invite everyone in our community who can help to visit our office to donate to this worthwhile cause.” Residents who would like more information can visit Senator Flanagan’s website at flanagan.nysenate.gov.

Smithtown post office to be renamed

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) spoke on the House floor April 30, ahead of a unanimous House passage of his legislation to honor former Congressman Bill Carney. The bill, H.R. 828, designates the United States Postal Service facility located at 25 Route 111 in Smithtown, New York, as the Congressman Bill Carney Post Office. “Congressman Carney was an incredible man who fought tirelessly for his constituents everyday. Even before his life in politics, his commitment to serving his country and community never wavered,” Zeldin said. William Carney, formerly of Hauppauge, died May 22, 2017, at the age of 74, after a fouryear battle with prostate cancer. He served in the U.S. Army Medical Corp from 1961 to 1964 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He also served as a Suffolk County legislator in 1976 for a single term, before his election as U.S. congressman for New York’s 1st Congressional District, where Zeldin now serves. The district is comprised of Smithtown, Brookhaven and the East End. Carney served eight years in Congress and was a member of the Conservative Party. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, according to obituaries after his death, Carney sponsored a bill to reduce strategic arms and freeze nuclear weapons, which was backed by then President The Story of Nathan Hale, Ronald Reagan. Carney was also known for Benjamin Tallmadge supporting the billion & the Origin of The$4.5 Culper Spies Shoreham nuclear project. Carney left office in January 1987. “Congressman Carney will be remembered for his strength, integrity and commitment to his district and nation, and there is no place he

loved more than Long Island. Now, every time someone enters the Congressman Bill Carney Post Office, his legacy will be remembered forever,” Zeldin said. “Bill was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. For our community, for New York’s 1st Congressional District, for our nation

and for the ideals in which he believed, he was a fighter until the very end,” the Carney family said in a prepared statement. “Bill loved the 1st Congressional District and it was his highest honor serving its people. Smithtown was our family’s home for decades, and it is particularly meaningful that this Post Office continues to serve the people about whom he cared so deeply. Thank you to Congressman Zeldin for helping preserve his memory in a place that was always very special to him.

Health Information from Local Health Care Professionals

What is depression?

What is involved in depression screening?

A. Depression is a serious medical illness that negatively impacts how a person feels, thinks and acts. It is one of the most common diagnoses made in a primary care physician’s oﬃce, and because depression is highly prevalent, every patient is screened for depression during their annual wellness visit. In the United States, nearly 20 percent of the population experiences an episode of depression at some point in their life, but fortunately, depression is treatable.

A. When I suspect a patient has clinical depression, I will ask questions about the symptoms they are facing and the eﬀect of these symptoms on the patient’s life and relationships. I ask about factors that make symptoms worse (such as stressful life events), and gather information about any personal or family history of medical and psychiatric conditions. I also ask about thoughts of death or suicide and if these thoughts involve any plans or actions. Additionally, it is important to do a thorough physical exam to ensure that the depression is not linked to hormonal imbalances or other underlying medical conditions.

How do I know if I am depressed? A. People who are depressed feel sad most of the time, for at least two weeks. They also have at least one of the following symptoms: 1) They no longer care about the things they once enjoyed doing. This can make it diﬃcult to work or perform daily tasks and can aﬀect their relationships with other people. 2) They feel hopeless or sad most of the day almost every day.

What should I do if I feel depressed? A. If you think you might be depressed, let your doctor know so that they can evaluate you and refer you for appropriate treatment. There are many therapies available to combat depression, including medications, psychological counseling, or a combination of both. Not treating depression can lead to serious problems, including a lower quality of life, an increased risk of suicide, and worsening of other medical conditions. If you would like more information and are interested in making an appointment, please call (631) 870-3444. 162332

Depression is also associated with weight loss or weight gain, sleep disturbances, energy loss, forgetfulness, restlessness, and thoughts of death or suicide.

Nonprofit aids vets and their pets BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Suffolk County Legislator Susan Berland (D-Dix Hills) coordinated free veterinarian care for veterans’ pets with Paws of War, a nonprofit organization in Nesconset that supports both ends of the leash through a variety of animal programs for veterans. The three-hour event was held April 27 in a mobile clinic parked behind the legislator’s Commack office where more than 25 animals received care — including a blind poodle named Ebony. “As the chairwoman of the Legislature’s Veterans Committee, I have seen first-hand the amazing work Paws of War does for our veterans, which is why I was proud to host their clinic at my district office,” Berland said. “It is well known that having an animal can be a vital tool in helping veterans combat the emotional effects of war.” Ted Taranowicz, a Navy veteran from the Vietnam era, along with his wife of 39 years Elizabeth, brought their black lab Rocco to the clinic. Taranowicz, a Port Jefferson resident, was diagnosed with throat cancer in January and is still recovering from the last of his 35

radiation and five chemotherapy treatments. He learned about the Vets2Vets program through the local VA hospital and was grateful for the service. He was one of 15 Suffolk County veterans helped by the program. Like the other animals seen, Rocco and Ebony received basic veterinary care that included a wellness check, grooming, vaccinations, microchipping, flea/tick protection and pet supplies. Dori Scofield, co-founder of the Paws of War, said the nonprofit runs entirely on donations. “We were able to do this purely because of people’s generosity,” Scofield said. She added that Petco recently donated $15,000 to help with the mobile clinic. The charity, though, is mostly funded by small donors and local groups that raise money for its cause. “The new Vets2Vets program is providing an amazing service for our veterans who may be unable to provide the necessary care for their animal,” Berland said. “I want to thank Paws of War for everything they do to support our veterans, they are truly an asset to our county.” For more information about Paws of War, visit its website at www.pawsofwar.org.

HUNTINGTON TOWN RESIDENT Q&A WHAT THE ONGOING NORTHPORT TAX TRIAL MEANS FOR YOU

The Long Island Power Authority is challenging the Town of Huntington’s $3.4 billion tax assessment of the Northport Power Plant in Suffolk County Supreme Court. Here are some common questions and answers on what this means for you.

With annual taxes of $84 million, the Northport plant is the highest taxed property in the United States – more than Disneyland and the Empire State Building combined. LIPA has sought a fair assessment for nearly a decade. Like any responsible homeowner or business who is overpaying, LIPA is now challenging the assessment so that an independent, third-party – a court – can determine the plant’s fair value.

WHY IS THE NORTHPORT POWER PLANT’S TAX BILL SO HIGH? The Town of Huntington has significantly overvalued the plant. For example, the Caithness Power Plant in Yaphank produces 50% more energy than the Northport plant each year with a tax bill of $9.6 million. Northport’s $84 million annual tax bill results from the Town’s $3.4 billion valuation, which exceeds that of a brand-new power plant built on Long Island.

HOW MUCH AM I PAYING IN MY ELECTRIC BILL FOR HIGH POWER PLANT TAXES? The typical Town of Huntington resident pays approximately 5% of their electric bill, or $85 a year, to support the school districts and local governments surrounding four of Long Island’s oldest power plants, including the Northport Plant. 2% of your electric bill goes directly to the Northport community, mostly to the Northport – East Northport Union Free School District.

WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE NORTHPORT POWER PLANT? Energy production at the Northport plant has declined by nearly 80% since 1999. The plant uses 50-year-old technology, which is more expensive to operate than modern power plants. As new, cleaner sources of energy are added to the electric grid, the use of the plant will continue to decline. Bringing the taxes down to a more sustainable level will better position the plant to continue to operate and will help attract future clean energy investment to the site.

WHAT HAPPENS IF LIPA WINS IN COURT? LIPA estimates that a fair valuation of the Northport plant would immediately increase the school taxes for a typical resident of the Northport-East Northport School District by over $200 per month. In addition, the Town of Huntington could owe LIPA’s customers over $650 million in tax refunds dating back to 2010 for over-assessing the plant. That’s over $5,000 per Huntington household.

WHAT IS LIPA’S SOLUTION? LIPA has offered a fair settlement to the Town of Huntington to phase down the taxes on the Northport plant from $84 million to $42 million per year over the remaining term of our contract to purchase power from the plant, which expires in April 2028. That would provide the residents of the Northport-East Northport School District with time to adjust to a more sustainable level of tax payments while waiving the Town’s $650 million tax refund liability to LIPA’s customers. LIPA estimates that the average household in the Northport-East Northport School District would see an increase of $13 per month in their school tax bill for each year of the settlement. That would be a cumulative increase of $117 per month by 2028. School district residents would still benefit from substantial tax payments not received by other districts in the Town of Huntington – continuing to hold down school tax rates for the Northport community. The increase for other Town residents would be less than $1 per month.

HOW DOES LIPA’S SOLUTION COMPARE TO THE PORT JEFFERSON POWER PLANT? The Town of Brookhaven and Village of Port Jefferson accepted LIPA’s settlement offer for the Port Jefferson Power Plant last year. The Port Jefferson plant has experienced a similar decline in usage, uses similar dated technology, and has similar operating costs as the Northport plant. The offer to the Town of Huntington for the Northport plant is the same as the Port Jefferson settlement.

IS LIPA’S SETTLEMENT OFFER STILL AVAILABLE? The settlement offer is still available, but the trial to determine the fair tax bill on the plant is ongoing and there’s not much time left. LIPA would like to help the Northport community adjust to a more sustainable level of tax payments on the plant over the remaining term of our power purchase contract. The longer a settlement is delayed, the shorter the transition period for the community until our power contract ends in April 2028.

WILL I SEE THE SAVINGS FROM A REDUCTION OF TAXES ON THE NORTHPORT PLANT? Yes. LIPA is run on a not-for-profit basis. Our customers pay our actual cost to buy electricity and deliver it to your home or business, with any changes automatically reflected in your monthly electric bill.

WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO SETTLE THIS CASE? WHAT CAN I DO? LIPA and the Town of Huntington are the parties that have the legal authority to come to a fair settlement that puts Northport’s taxes on a more sustainable path. For more information, go to lipower.org.

Spring fever hits classrooms

With six different garden beds to prepare and care for, student council members at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District don’t mind getting their hands a bit dirty. Starting in April, the students head outdoors to start preparing their garden, which they hope will be filled with plenty of vegetables by the end of the school year. They started by weeding and raking the beds to get ready for a schoolwide planting day in May. The initiative started about four years ago,

according to adviser and Mt. Pleasant Elementary teacher Stephen Jackowski. The six garden beds were donated by local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops. The student council cares for the beds, planting beans, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, corn and other various vegetables. All of the vegetables are then donated to the local food pantry in June and during the summer months. While the beds are cared for weekly by the student council, which consists of third-, fourthand fifth-grade students, the schoolwide planting initiative gives all the students an opportunity to help give back to their local community.

The nation celebrated National Volunteer Appreciation Week from April 7 to 13, and while St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center prioritizes daily gratitude to volunteers, who share their gift of time and care, senior leadership takes great pride in recognizing and celebrating volunteers during the annual appreciation week. Each year, the medical center hosts a special volunteer luncheon for all volunteers who donate their time and skills at the hospital, nursing and rehabilitation care center and medical office building. This year’s celebration luncheon was held during the national volunteer week on April 10 at Stonebridge Golf Links Country Club. The medical center embraced this year’s national theme: Points of Light. Each table at the event was adorned with model lighthouses to remind volunteers that their invaluable work has far-reaching impact. “Our volunteers give back in so many ways in various departments throughout the hospital; we value them for all they do,” said St. Catherine’s chief operating officer John Pohlman. The appreciation luncheon is an opportunity to celebrate each volunteer individually and acknowledges the unique hours served at the medical center. Volunteers were honored for 100 hours of service, with Smithtown resident and longtime volunteer Georgia Priebe honored with the highest cumulative hours served: a record-breaking 24,928 hours. “Georgia is a gem at St. Catherine, known and loved by all—we are always humbled by her dynamic spirit and are honored to call her St. Catherine family,” said St. Catherine’s

director of public affairs and volunteers Heather Reynolds. Other volunteers were thanked for holding the most time donated in 2018, including Bonnie Mele with 1,161 hours, Art Berger with 1,037 and James Cussen with 783 hours. St. Catherine’s volunteers are diverse, as the hospital welcomes volunteers from age 14. During National Volunteer Week, a group of volunteers from Smithtown High School’s Business Honor Society generously donated $692 to support the purchase of a new neonatal intensive care rocker for the maternity department. The business-minded students coordinated a fundraising event, Taste of Smithtown. “The restaurants donated their time and food, so we could charge an entry fee, which helped our society raise money for the hospital,” said Brianna Celano, current student president of the Business Honor Society. “We are very appreciative of the donation, which replaced an older and bulkier chair— the new rocker is light and easy to wheel throughout the unit,” said St. Catherine’s director of maternity services, Neila Hernandez, NP. National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to celebrate the impact of volunteer service and the power of volunteers to tackle society’s greatest challenges to help build stronger communities. St. Catherine of Siena recognizes the tremendous efforts volunteers make when lending their time, talent and voice to help make a difference. If you would like to volunteer, the hospital is currently seeking adult volunteers for its gift shop, front desk or at the nursing and rehabilitation care center.

Letters to the editor

Pay attention to your community

Among all the political discourse going on in this country there are a few basic tenets we should all be aware of. Starting with the Electoral College, our Founding Fathers wanted all states to be represented. The Electoral College prevents the smaller states from being disenfranchised and prevents the tyranny of the larger states. The verbal fad since the 2016 election is a push to eliminate the Electoral College. Next, border problems. How long would you last in a business if you still had no solution to immigration issues since the 1980s — note to Democrats Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Isn’t it ironic that people are leaving their country because of lawlessness, yet some come here breaking our laws, crossing the border cutting ahead of their

Editorial

The house on Lower Rocky Point Road in Sound Beach, a relatively quiet, two-lane road that parallels the North Shore coastline is somehow indicative of comfortable, suburban living. The house is quaint and the front yard is loaded with lawn ornaments. Now there’s something hauntingly disturbing at the sight of it. On April 25, the Suffolk County district attorney announced a multicount indictment of a resident of that Sound Beach house, Raymond Rodio III, for allegedly keeping over 20 women in a cycle of drugs and prostitution over several years, often using that basement for activities related to that prostitution. The parents said they didn’t know. Comments from community members online were similarly flummoxed. Nobody expected a story like that to come from such a neighborhood. Nobody ever does. Everyone knows about the opioid epidemic. It’s said you don’t have to stick your arm out too far before you brush against someone who has been impacted by the crisis. For years it has ravaged Long Island, and only with concerted and multiyear efforts from community activists, journalists and policymakers are we finally starting to make efforts from the ground level up. Local legislators and school districts continually host Narcan training courses to aid overdose cases, and with the New York State budget, an expanded access to medication-assisted treatment has become available in both the hospital and jail settings. Residents have commented online there are houses they suspect are involved in drug dealing, but why would anybody expect that this case also has allegedly been involved in human trafficking? That’s just the thing — perhaps people need to be more alert to prevent these crimes. Rodio was allegedly operating this illicit scheme for five years or maybe even longer. He got away with it for that long only until thankfully during an unrelated traffic stop an officer recognized that the woman passenger in Rodio’s car showed signs of being in a forced prostitution situation. Prostitution? On the North Shore? Yes, it does happen here, and it doesn’t just take place in seedy motels or in illicit massage parlor operations. It happens at reputable hotels, and online, through well-known websites like craigslist or on dating apps like Tinder. It’s likely that people as young as 15 years are involved. These sex traffickers often recruit online through social media or find young women with poor family lives or with existing drug problems. It can happen anywhere. The case in Sound Beach more than proves it. It’s time for parents and teachers to learn about this issue, one that has only grown with the opioid epidemic. Children need to learn the dangers beyond drugs, and adults should learn the warning signs to notice young women who might be involved in these truly horrific situations. Many North Shore communities have continued to step up in the overwhelming face of the opioid crisis. We can take a stand against this issue as well.

Facts for thought during political discourse fellow immigrants who are waiting at the portals. Where is the social justice there? How many teachers would allow and condone the tougher kids to cut ahead of the line of kids following class rules? This is a microcosm of our border problems. Only chaos and anarchy results in lawbreaking in or out of the classroom. Now, a public health crisis at our doorstep. Why are politicians pushing for the legalization of marijuana when there are concrete studies since the 1800s linking marijuana to mental illness and violence. Could the common denominator of the increase in bipolar, schizophrenia and school violence be due to widespread marijuana use in recent years? A recently published book by Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, is a must-read: “Tell Your Children:

The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence.” Is the marijuana revenue blinding the governorships or are our politicians looking for the young vote? The most egregious of all: How is “infanticide” not only accepted but celebrated? How ironic that animal rights are taking precedent over human rights. In conclusion, what if Hillary Clinton (D) had come out on election night and encouraged her supporters to get behind our elected President Donald Trump (R) instead of the “resist movement.” Isn’t that what she had accused Trump of what he would do? Our real strength comes from unity not diversity. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness! Carol Florio and Lisa Pius Old Field

Zeldin puts faith in bad actors On April 25, Vladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong-un of North Korea, two of the world’s preeminent authoritarian dictators, met regarding Pyongyang’s denuclearization. While I would support any action that would reduce nuclear weapons in our world, I am skeptical of putting my faith in these two men, who have committed atrocities against their own people and are global bad actors. History has taught me to be wary of murderous authoritarians. Unfortunately, our representative to Congress, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), doesn’t seem to be a student of history, or of the actions of these men. Zeldin appeared on Fox News the same day as the summit, gushing that there was a “great deal to be made” at this summit. This belies

the history of these nations and these men, and is a foolish position. The fact that Zeldin takes this position while sitting on the House Foreign Affairs Committee is alarming. Zeldin seems to place more faith in bad actors than he does our own Congress. In a recent interview with RiverheadLOCAL, our congressman said, “I don’t see Congress right now getting anything accomplished with regards to anything.” An elected official who places more faith in dictators than the body that he serves in is unfit for the job. This follows a pattern with Zeldin, who has continuously supported bad actors on the global stage, including refusing to hold the Saudis accountable for their assault on Yemeni civilians, and for the murder of

Jamal Khashoggi. It is clear that Zeldin has ceased to be a true representative of New York’s diverse 1st Congressional District, and has instead opted to be a mouthpiece for the agenda of our own authoritarian president and administration. I cannot even accuse Zeldin of “dual loyalty,” as he has so thoroughly sold out this district on domestic issues like taxes, health care and the social safety net, to foreign policy issues like I’ve discussed. It is clear that Zeldin is performing for an audience of one, the most loyal of Fox News watchers, President Donald Trump (R). Zeldin is unfit to serve on the Foreign Affairs Committee and in the U.S. Congress. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Taken out of context or not Context: The words that are used with a certain word or phrase and that help to explain its meaning. That is the Webster’s Dictionary definition of context. It is also the word that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) is using to hide behind. A sitting United States member of Congress referred to the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001, as “some people did something” during a recent speech to the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Most Americans were stunned and hurt by her trivializing such a world-altering

event that killed approximately 3,000 innocent people and continues to cause casualties through horrible illness. What possible excuse could the congresswoman use for being so insensitive and thoughtless you might ask? She and her defenders claim she was taken out of context. Being a reasonable person I immediately watched her complete speech which is on YouTube. I encourage my neighbors to do the same. I watched her body language, the tone and inflection of her voice, and carefully listened to the

words she spoke. There is no mistake. Any reasonable person will see her choice of the phrase “some people did something” was clearly intentional and deliberate. The words that come to my mind to describe the congresswoman’s description of that horrible day in the history of the world are disgraceful, ignorant, insulting, disgusting, divisive, arrogant and dangerous. I use this many adjectives so I am not taken “out of context.” Charles Cozzolino Setauket

Translating the messages behind college advice

dvice is wonderful, unless it isn’t. The giving and receiving of advice is nothing like the process of exchanging gifts around the December holidays. Often, there is a not-so-subtle subtext to advice that sitcoms have used to relatable comedic effect. A comment like, “You’re wearing that to your date?” isn’t advice, per se, although the underD. None lying message is of the above clear: “You could BY DANIEL DUNAIEF do so much better.” Extending this even further, the speaker seems to suggest that the listener

returns to his or her dorm room, ﬁnds something that’s not wrinkled and doesn’t smell like the gym, and then go out on the date. With high school and college graduations on the horizon, it’s inevitable that people will share their thoughts, opinions and ideas with the person they are celebrating. Here are a few pieces of advice and the translation for them: Advice: “You might want to study a little harder in college than you did in high school. It’s much harder.” Translation: “You’re probably lucky to graduate from high school and you won’t be so lucky in college, so take this time to start over and get your act together. Maybe you should consider studying more than 12 hours before a test on material you read all night the day before.” Advice: “The time goes so fast. Take the time to appreciate and seize every opportunity.” Translation: “I missed out on a lot of things in college and I’d like to go back and take better classes, ﬁnd different friends and start over

again. How about if you invent a time machine while you’re in college and send me back, so I can do it right this time?” Advice: “Not everything your professors tell you is true, accurate or in your best interests.” Translation: “Someone told me to major in chemistry. I hated it. I did something else for a living and it would have helped to take courses that made more sense. I could really use that time machine about now. How about if you make that your senior thesis?” Advice: “Pick your friends carefully.” Translation: “I didn’t really like your high school friends and I wish social media didn’t exist, so you wouldn’t stay in touch with all those people who steered you the wrong way. How about if you pick the nerdy woman who’s going to start her own company some day or the intellectual guy who plans to open a new school? Maybe, instead of asking me what classes I think you should take, you should send me a list of your prospective friends. That way I can be

like a Roman emperor, putting a thumbs up or thumbs down on the relationship.” Advice: “Pizza and soda are killers for the waistline.” Translation: “I had the “freshman 20” and it took months to lose it. I blame pizza and soda which, at college, is pretty much 90 percent of your diet. Good luck avoiding the easy sugars and carbs when you’re up late at night, having the conversation of your life and you need energy so you don’t nod off when your friend from New Zealand with the cool accent shares some story you know you’ll want to recall the next day.” Advice: “Floss your teeth.” Translation: “This comes from hard-earned experience. Flossing is the best way to prevent root canals and those are among the most painful procedures many of us endure as we age. That is probably the best advice for graduates leaving the nest. If you ﬂoss, the older version of yourself will be eternally grateful.”

id you know that the Boston Tea Party, during which colonists boarded British ships anchored in Boston Harbor and pitched their precious cargoes of tea into the sea, was organized by a local chamber of commerce? In 1773, in response to the onerous Tea Act imposed on the North American colonies by the British Parliament, the Charlestown Chamber of Commerce — that’s always been a tough part of town — called its members together and dramatically displayed their displeasure at yet another tax. And the Between rest is history — you and me our history. All of which is BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF to say, chambers of commerce have been around for a long time and, in their own way, can be quite powerful.

How do I know about this? I was watching the television program, “Jeopardy!” the other night, fascinated by the latest contestant who has won well over a million dollars so far and in record time, when the answer to the ﬁnal question about a group founded in 1599 was, “Who was the chamber of commerce?” Intrigued, I looked up the history of chambers and discovered that in Marseille, France, tradesmen had banded together at that time to protect and promote business. They called themselves “chambre de commerce,” chartered by King Henri IV. There are all sorts of chambers today: international, national, national-international, state, regional and particularly local such bodies. They still have the same mission and generally are respectfully regarded by the public. They tend to be a nonpartisan source of information about their towns, especially regarding business, and membership in them suggests a certain authenticity. There are roughly 4,000 local chambers in the United States today, according to the internet, and they often advocate with government on behalf of business. Our media group belongs to eight of them

in the areas we serve across three townships. Some are larger, like Huntington and Smithtown, some are just getting started, like Rocky Point Sound Beach. Earlier this week I attended the Brookhaven Chambers of Commerce Coalition, usually referred to as the BCCC. Founded in 1992 by Barbara Ransome of Port Jefferson, among others, the BCCC was celebrating the 20th anniversary of its annual gala, honoring a member of the year chosen by each of 16 chambers. Some 230 people ﬁlled the room and patiently applauded as the chambers in turn introduced their winners. The now-famous “Jeopardy!” contestant, James Holzhauer, did have the right answer but only barely squeaked by one of the other two challengers to enlarge his winnings and earn the right to return the next night. Holzhauer is one of the more unforgettable characters that have appeared on the show. He is both “extraordinarily knowledgeable,” as described in The New York Times, but also has brought an unprecedentedly aggressive strategy to the game program. He is, by his own description, a professional sports gambler, and starts with the high value questions ﬁrst, then bets shrewdly

and big on the Daily Double. He thinks nothing of interrupting the amiable chatter from host Alex Trebek and moving the pace of the traditionally polite game faster. Married, with children, he is laser focused most of the time but seems to have relaxed a bit and even joked with the audience, as the days go by and his winnings pile up. Holzhauer is different from the long line of previous contestants in key ways. By his own admission, he is used to winning and losing large sums of money all the time, so he doesn’t tremble when he bets $60,000 on the Final Jeopardy question. And he knows he is well prepared for the game. What is the secret to his immense knowledge of trivia? He wasn’t a diligent student in school, he admits, but he prepared for “Jeopardy!” by reading children’s books in libraries where facts are presented in an interesting way. He worked really hard to achieve his longtime goal of getting onto the game show, and he studied to win. Three cheers then for chambers of commerce and libraries.
