GoFundMe supports Sound Beach native By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Friends, family and community members did their own quick responding for a beloved Sound Beach firefighter who suffered serious injuries in a recent car crash. A GoFundMe page to support Jimmy McLoughlin Jr. was set up Dec. 23, one day after the 24-year-old volunteer was rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital following a collision with another vehicle on Route 25A and Harrison Ave. in MIller Place at 5 p.m. According to those close to him, McLoughlin Jr. was pulling into a lot to get a haircut when a driver ran a red light and broadsided his vehicle.

The online fundraiser hit its goal of $15,000 after just two days, and within 10, the fund exceeded the goal with $19,664. So far 350 people have donated, with individual contributions ranging from $5 to as much as $1,000. The accident left McLoughlin Jr. with two broken vertebrae, and since he’ll be out of work for a minimum of three months, the money raised will go toward the surgery he needed to fuse part of his spine, future medical and rehabilitation costs and the eventual replacement of his totaled vehicle. The Sound Beach native recently graduated from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut with a communications degree and has been juggling a second part-time job as a freelance cameraman for Fox 5 NY. Sound Beach Fire Department Chief Thomas Sternberg spearheaded the campaign on behalf of the district, with the hope of giving back to someone he considers “a very dedicated man to the department and the community.” “I was amazed at how many people stepped up to help him out ... we’re very appreciative of anyone who has donated,” he said. “Jimmy has always been there when you need him. He’s always willing to train, always willing to help anybody.” Sound Beach Captain Darran Handshaw, who compiled the GoFundMe page, said the speedy outpouring and money raised is a testament to McLoughlin Jr.’s character. “He’s done so much for the community and he’s just an all around great guy,” Handshaw said. “He’s always a reliable firefighter, always on the first engine and somebody that I count on when I get into a fire.”

Above, Jimmy McLoughlin Jr.’s car following his crash on Route 25A dec. 22. Left, McLoughlin Jr. is a freelance cameraman for Fox 5 ny. McLoughlin said it’s heartwarming to see all the support his son has in the community. “He’s one of the go-to people when somebody needs help,” he said. “Ever since he was a child, Jimmy was very community-oriented.” McLoughlin Jr. joined the junior fire company when he was 13 years old and served in it for five years while simultaneously climbing the ranks toward Eagle Scout. He graduated from Rocky Point High School in 2011 and on his 18th birthday, he joined the fire de-

McLoughlin Jr. has a lifelong commitment to the fire department — in fact, it’s in his blood. His father, James McLoughlin Sr., currently serves as fire commissioner for Sound Beach and was once the chief. “When he was born, I was a fire chief,” his father said. “He was part of the department from the time he took his first breath, and there’s not a day that goes by that he doesn’t stop there for one reason for another. As long as he’s in town, he’s there.”

Town app makes severe weather easier to manage By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com The Town of Brookhaven is embracing the modern age to help prepare for severe weather. With snowstorm season fast approaching, Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) is making it a whole lot easier to clear roadways with the roll out of a new app designed to help foremen streamline the process of contacting hired drivers and achieve efficiency through technology. The “call-out app,” created by Losquadro and staff in the Division of Information Technology, will do away with the old system in which foremen had to go to their offices and make calls to each individual driver to confirm who was working, what town to respond to and what time their services would be needed. With 1,194 active snow removal vendors throughout the district, that process could take up to four hours — precious time that could be better spent plowing the streets. With the new app, drivers provide their cell phone numbers and email addresses, and from the comfort of their iPads or iPhones, foremen can simply send a text or email about the specifics of the job — what yard to report

to, what equipment or vehicle to use, what time to start — and get instant yes or no responses as to who’s available to work. Foremen are able to see, in real time, who is coming in, who isn’t, and can dictate how many total vendors will be in specific areas. Address hyperlinks are also included, so with the click of a button, the driver is brought directly to a map with directions to the given job site. By automating the process and having such an immediate call-out, snow removal vendors can get to roads faster by several hours, saving the Town and its residents time and money. “There’s no reason government needs to be archaic and not operate with the same technology that we’re using everyday of our lives outside of government,” Losquadro said. “I’ve been striving to bring us into the modern age, and this is just another step toward that. This is technology that everyone is very comfortable and well-acquainted with. The app is going to make us more efficient; we can actually spend our time doing the work that needs to be done.” Losquadro introduced and trained supervisors and field workers on a custom-built, electronic work order system last year, developed

Photos from Town of Brookhaven

Above, a test done on Brookhaven Town incident Management shows which vendors have and have not responded to call-outs. Below, a test email of what a call-out would look like. a system to track work orders during severe weather the year before that, and is currently in the process of making an electronic time sheet program that will keep track of work hours operational before the end of this snow season. He said he and the IT staff have been able to build these programs in-house, rather than go out to consultants and spend thousands of taxpayer dollars. From concept to reality, the call-out app took roughly four months to get off the ground and functions on an Apple-operating system, making it as user-friendly as

possible. The app can run on desktop computers, tablets and iPhones. Matt Sabatello, an IT staff member, said a test of the app was conducted in early December and feedback from foremen has been incredible. “The app allows for better decision-making for foremen,” he said. “It gives them a good idea of which vendors are responding to work in what areas and, if need be, allows them to react immediately to reassign a vendor to an area that nobody may have been calling in about.” With Brookhaven being such a large township, Losquadro said “there’s no reason we shouldn’t be leading the way.” “I’m very proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of ideas about what I’ve wanted to do, and being able to [see them through] has been very satisfying. The app is a fully live and operational system and, God willing, I won’t have to use it that much this year.”

Staying on track to take down one zombie house a week this year, the Town of Brookhaven demolished a house on Kew drive in Sound Beach, above, on dec. 21.

Town on track, takes down another zombie house By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) delivered an early Christmas gift to Sound Beach residents Dec. 21 by overseeing the demolition of a long detested zombie house located at 45 Kew Drive. The deteriorated house, which was abandoned by its owner more than 10 years ago, had a collapsed second floor, a caved-in roof and was a hotbed for raccoons and other animals, mosquitoes and flies. With so many vacant houses on Long Island becoming safety hazards, the Town issued numerous building code violations to the owner. The demolition came in accordance with Chapter 73 of the Town Code, which provides a “fast track” to rid neighborhoods of unsafe structures. This was the 52nd zombie house to be demolished by the Town of Brookhaven in 2016, fulfilling Romaine’s mission to tear down one a week. “We’re going to get rid of the eyesores, the blight and the vacant houses that squatters invade, the vacant houses that drug use and drug sales happen in, and we’re going to clean up our neighborhoods,” Romaine said. “We’re going to continue the effort to clean up this Town and make sure that no neighborhood has to put up with blight like this.” The cost of demolition and debris removal is the responsibility of the property owner, and the Town places a lean on the property that is then placed on the tax bill. Suffolk County reimburses the Town and then collects the money from the property owner. The Town sent the owner several notifications, letters of condemnation and 15-day notices but never received a response. An old

Camaro and two motorcycles, all in disrepair, had been left in the garage and were towed away by the Town. “We’re more than happy and more than proud to knock this house down, and give Kew Drive back to the residents that live [here],” Bonner said. “This lovely street in Sound Beach with well-maintained and beautifully kept homes has such an eyesore and blight next door. It’s decreased residents’ property values, and created some nervous feelings about what could be going on in there.” Residents stood on their lawns, applauded and watched the demolition with glee. “It’s such a long time coming and hopefully somebody will build and make a nice home on the property, and maybe a nice family will move in,” Kew Drive resident Denise Milano said. “You wouldn’t believe the stench that came out of that house ... I can’t believe [the demolition’s] finally happening.”

Local kids help build home with Habitat for Humanity High school students from Rocky Point and Shoreham-Wading River participated in a Habitat for Humanity build in Mastic Beach. The North Shore Youth Council provided students the chance to give back to the community, as the Youth Advisory Committee, which is made up of students in eighth grade and up, helped guide the agency into what types of programs, services or events today’s youth would like to see offered. As part of the group, students not only participate in Habitat for Humanity builds but also in open mic and open gym nights, mock legislature and civic meetings and speaking engagements, town clean-ups and mentoring. As part of the Habitat for Humanity project, the students helped empty the home and take part in constructing the new homes with the help Habitat for Humanity volunteers.

Hodan Hassan has been named chief development strategist for the Global Health Institute at Stony Brook University’s Centre ValBio. Spearheaded by scientists and philanthropists Jim and Robin Herrnstein, GHI joined forces with the CVB — a research, conservation and educational organization established in Madagascar in 2003 — to conduct internationally led health science research for the benefit of the Malagasy people and to establish a sustainable health care infrastructure in one of the world’s poorest nations. At Stony Brook, Hassan, who resides in Mount Sinai, is responsible for helping translate this vision into a robust program and lead the institute’s philanthropic activities, including the design and execution of the fundraising strategy, generating revenue and establishing long-term financial support in the areas of individual philanthropy, corporate sponsorships and foundations, as well as government grants. “Stony Brook University’s ability to recruit outstanding professionals like Hodan only enhances our abilities for meaningful donor engagement and support to advance the Stony Brook mission,” said Dexter A. Bailey Jr., senior vice president of University Advancement. “Hodan’s leadership has already proven to be an invaluable addition to GHI and the university.” Hassan joined the university in April 2016 with more than 20 years of experience working in senior-level development positions. Most recently, she served as associate vice president of program funding and prospect development for Save the Children, where she led a large team of professionals to support the organization’s fundraising and programmatic initiatives. Her past positions include managing director of prospect development and strategy at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, senior director of prospect development at the Arizona State University Foundation and associate director of prospect development at the University of Washington. She was also a member of the APRA board of directors from 2005 to 2011. Given her background, Peter Small, founding director of the Global Health Institute, believes Hassan to be uniquely qualified to forward the GHI mission. “Hodan has the rare combination of bold strategic thinking and detailed technical

knowledge that will help guide Stony Brook University as we strive to improve human health and the ecosystems upon which we depend,” he said. “She’ll also be a crucial thought partner as she continues to work with faculty and staff in defining and finding opportunities for Stony Brook to make a difference in the lives of the global poor.” Hassan described Stony Brook as a university that does powerful, life-changing work through its contributions to communities in rural Madagascar. “I look forward to supporting this mission and am honored to join the Global Health Institute in its early stages and to be part of the innovative work, discoveries and the advancement of science that can impact the lives of people in our global communities,” she said. Equally important to her role of raising funds to support GHI and CVB, Hassan aims to educate the broader community on the groundbreaking scientific research conducted and is eager to showcase how that work contributes to a larger body of knowledge that interrelates issues of global health, the environment and livelihood. Ultimately, she said she wants to make a difference in people’s lives. Born in Somalia, Hassan holds undergraduate degrees in mathematics and physics and master’s degrees in applied mathematics and education, all from Long Island University in Brookville.

County no longer needs court to hold illegal inmates By Kevin Redding Kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco has sent a clear message to undocumented immigrants who choose to break the law, by announcing the county will no longer need a judge’s order before detaining and holding illegal inmates wanted by federal immigration officials. The policy reversal, which DeMarco believes will be good “for the country, not just the county,” has taken Suffolk off the list of “sanctuary cities” — regions that protect undocumented immigrants by not prosecuting them solely for violating federal immigration laws in the United States. The county’s removal from the list is something DeMarco has been in favor of for some time. The sheriff initiated a review of the sanctuary policy alongside county Legislator Tom Cilmi (R-Bay Shore) as soon as the policy was adopted more than a year ago, after concerns that it creates public safety problems by allowing the release of criminal immigrants back to the communities as opposed to letting agents

cooperation with ICE is going to help Suffolk County with some of the more pressing public safety problems, like the resurgence of MS13 [street gang] activity there.” Cilmi said this is a step in the right direction. “There’s no cause for protesting because, from a practical standpoint, nothing has really changed and it has nothing to do with undocumented immigrants who are living here,” he said. “As long as they’re following the law, it doesn’t affect them at all. Those who aren’t will see this is not going to be tolerated.” He said he suspects that the vast majority of the immigrant population living in the county — documented or undocumented — would be supportive of policies that affect drug dealers and gang members who continue to “wreak havoc” in the areas where they live. “No one wants crimes in their communities,” he said.

SportS Rocky Point earns first league win in final seconds By Bill landon For Rocky Point, one of the youngest players on the girls’ basketball team came through big. In the final minute of the third quarter, the team trailed visiting Miller Place by 15 points, but the Eagles found a way to tie the game at 62-62 with 8.3 seconds on the clock, and Madison Gennaro swished a shot from the top of key to win the game Jan. 3, 64-62. “I didn’t know if it was going in — I was just going north and south trying to get the foul,” Gennaro said. “We just had to get fouled and get fast-break layups.” It was Rocky Point’s first League V victory in nearly a decade, according to head coach Scott Lindsay. The first 22 minutes started out in Miller Place’s favor. Junior Ally Tarantino, on a give-and-go, fed the ball to eighth-grader Alexa Corbin for a layup that gave the Panthers a commanding 53-38 lead with 1:29 left in the third quarter. But the Eagles refused to go quietly, and their defense presses and aggressiveness forced several turnovers that were converted into points. Miller Place head coach Joe Read said his team has struggled to put together four solid quarters of play, and it happened again. “We’ve done this before: We have a really good half, we look up, we get the ball up, we get the ball out, we get down and we sometimes stop doing that and we talked about that at halftime,” Read said. “[We needed] one or two footsteps more getting

to the ball, and that was the difference.” Then Rocky Point went on an 8-0 run to draw within four points with 47 seconds left in regulation. Three seconds later, Gennaro went to the foul line and sank both to make it a 2-point game. Miller Place junior Victoria Iavarone went to the stripe shooting two and split the difference to edge further ahead, 62-59. With 36 seconds on the clock Rocky Point’s Clare Levy went to the charity stripe and nailed both to make it a 1-point game, prompting a Miller Place timeout.

To this day, his father said, anyone who needs to learn how to drive or pump one of the engines, “they go to Jimmy to learn how to do it.” In 2014, McLoughlin Jr. was recognized for all his contributions and ability to balance his fire services and academics when he was chosen by the department as Firefighter of the Year, the fire department’s highest honor.

partment for demonstrating a certain level of skill performance and recognizes one’s ability to work within a team. According to the GoFundMe page, he’s “performed so many heroic acts of kindness for the community.” In 2015, he fought a large house fire inside a fellow firefighter’s family home. McLoughlin Jr. manned the hoseline, went inside the house and stopped the fire that had spread through the basement and most of the main floor. Afterward, he filmed and produced a video with the family who lost almost everything in the fire in which they shared their experience with the community to teach key fire safety lessons. The video has since been seen all over the world and has been an integral part of Sound Beach’s fire prevention efforts. According to his father, McLoughlin Jr. is out of surgery and resting at home. He has been able to walk and move around, but because of the procedure, he has to wear a collar support for the next six to eight weeks. He’s still in a lot of pain. McLoughlin Jr. might have a long road to full rehabilitation ahead, but his usual spirit remains intact. “He’s determined,” McLoughlin Sr. said. “He’s got a positive outlook ... it’s not ‘am I gonna be on my feet?’ it’s ‘when I’m back on my feet.’”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

File photo

The Rocky Point rock Spencer said he was incorrectly quoted about.

Fake news and the ability to temper and correct

Photo from Vincent DeMarco

A view of the front entrance to one of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices at Suffolk County’s Riverhead jail.

A step in the right direction As of late December, a change in policy by the Department of Homeland Security makes it legal for Suffolk County law enforcement agencies to hold people eligible for release for up to 48 hours if there is probable cause to believe they immigrated to the United States illegally. The suspect must be convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, three nonsignificant misdemeanors or deemed to pose a threat to national security in order for the hold to happen. Since 2014 — until this policy change — the county has only been able to hold potential illegal immigrants with a warrant from a judge. As an editorial staff that never bought into “build a wall” as an immigration policy, yet recognizes the need for immigration reform, we view this as a valid compromise. Lawbreakers already detained by the criminal justice system will be evaluated prior to their release by representatives from the federal government before it is determined that they can stay in the United States. In theory, this should reduce the number of undocumented, violent people living in our county and country. The list of reasons to hold a suspect is available for anyone to look up online, and it’s clear the main objective of this change is to investigate violent and criminal suspects. This change wasn’t brought about by the administration coming into the White House in two weeks, yet it is entirely possible policy makers will be emboldened by the rhetoric they heard during President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign. Policy changes are likely coming for other departments as well, and it will be up to the American people to remain engaged in the political process, and be vocal, should a policy change occur that doesn’t sit right. This tweak to immigration policy is one we can live with so long as the phrase “probable cause” is interpreted in a fair manner befitting a democracy built on liberty and justice for all.

Fake news dates back centuries, however, with the advent of social media it has become a phenomenon. The insidious impact of fake news can strike organizations, lives and communities at any time. With so much information out there, the opportunity to create social media environments that dilute the truth and/or spread misinformation deepens our polarization and erodes personal accountability. As information consumers, this is a topic worthy of our attention as we have the ability to temper its influence and correct deceptions. Having been the target of a fictitious story in the past several weeks, I’ve become keenly aware of how detrimental it can be. A

recent social media campaign was launched, falsely stating that I, along with another legislator, sponsored a bill to purchase a rock in Rocky Point with county funds. The truth is, I had absolutely nothing to do with the rock and no public or private interest in pursuing its preservation with public or private dollars. The idea was raised by the legislator representing the district where the rock sits, and a proposal was never drafted or presented to the legislature for consideration. I’ve worked hard to represent Suffolk County residents well, and my record shows that I wouldn’t entertain such unwarranted spending. If you ever come across a story that appears out of line with my estab-

lished record, please don’t hesitate to call my office directly. I would be happy to answer your questions. It’s good to see social media platforms stepping up to the plate by developing tools to monitor this disturbing trend, but ultimately it is up to us to spread the truth. In 2017 and beyond, I am hopeful that we will all do our part in guarding against falsehoods. Let’s challenge ourselves to seek the whole truth, even if it debunks our suspicions and preconceived notions. Opening our beliefs to scrutiny will strengthen our accountability, our connections, and lead us to a better future.

County Legislator William Spencer Centerport

White people must speak up to spur change I was happy to read Charles Cozzolino’s letter in the Dec. 8 edition regarding our Black Lives Matter rally of Nov. 12. Mr. Cozzolino’s main argument that the event did not promote “unity,” seems to be in response to the headline of the Nov. 17 article, a choice of the newspaper, not the march organizers. In fact, the only reference to unity comes in a quote from one of the “All Lives Matter” folks on the other side of 25A. “Why can’t these people stop complaining about their oppression?” is the underlying message from such individuals. The saying “all lives matter” stems from either ignorance about or conscious opposition to the assertion that black lives matter. If I say, “Save the polar bears,” it doesn’t mean I don’t care about other animals; I’m simply stressing that polar bears are endangered. Mr. Cozzolino quotes Marcus Brown, a graduate student in philosophy and member of Stony Brook University’s Black Lives Matter chapter. Mr. Brown’s comments

regarding the “antagonistic” nature of police departments toward black people are rooted in his understanding of the origins of police forces in America, which were as slave patrols meant to catch runaways. One can understand how a black man might be wary of such organizations. While the ideas of Mr. Brown and his group may be radical, any movement will encompass ideas about to achieve its goals. Mr. Cozzolino further takes exception to a “white silence kills” sign; he then makes the absurd leap in logic from this sign to violence in communities of color. Though its meaning seems clear enough, the idea that “white silence kills” is simply highlighting the point that white people must speak up against injustices in this country, even those that don’t directly affect them. The fact that some black and brown people kill other black and brown people doesn’t excuse or justify violence by the police, who are not private citizens but agents of the state.

Lastly, Mr. Cozzolino incorrectly states that the Black Lives Matter movement was formed in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson; in fact, it was formed after the murderer of Trayvon Martin was acquitted in July of 2013. At the end of the day, a lot of white Americans who share Mr. Cozzolino’s views simply refuse to admit that their skin color is an advantage in this country, which, morally and legally, it shouldn’t be. Decades after the Civil Rights Act, black Americans continue to have dropout rates, unemployment rates and arrest and incarceration rates (even when compared to white defendants arrested for the same crimes) that are unacceptable in a free society. Until the day when our political, social and economic structures reflect true parity, those of us who care about equality will continue to remind America that Black Lives Matter.

OpiniOn Riding the Trump learning curve

T

aking credit is easy. It usually means you are patting yourself on the back for something you did or helped do that went well, or that went the way you desired. In annual reviews, in résumés or on college applications, it’s a great idea to take credit for the ways you contributed, led or facilitated positive outcomes. It’s a way of sharing your potential for future successes with other colleagues, coworkers, bosses By Daniel Dunaief or schools. It’s a fine line because taking credit for, say, the weather on the day of a picnic seems inappropriate and far fetched; or taking credit for something for which your primary role

D. None of the above

was to cheer for a particular outcome also seems inaccurate. The other side of the credit coin is accepting responsibility for mistakes or results that fell short of your expectations or hopes. I read that President-elect Donald Trump has congratulated himself on consumer confidence and the stock market surge since the election. His election could be a contributing factor in the optimism of consumers or in the personified mind of the stock market. I wonder, though, when life for Americans doesn’t go the way we would all like, will he also accept responsibility? Will the man who will be the leader of the free world be able to see his role in problems, learn from mistakes and show the kind of flexibility that other world leaders will consider inspiring or redemptive? When things don’t go the way he or we the people might like, he has blamed others. His favorite target, and a favorite villain for many

presidents over the years, has been the media. It’s an easy target because someone can always disagree with the facts or can come up with an alternative theory for them. I would encourage the man who is so comfortable patting himself on the back — and who seems to be surrounding himself with people who are so supportive of him — to learn to look in the mirror and grow with this enormous job. Learning isn’t easy or necessarily natural. That’s especially true when you’re confident you know more than anyone else, even intelligence officials, and when you rely on your business or street smarts to win every battle. Maybe it’s especially challenging for him to accept that he needs educating as a president, in a job which requires him to be decisive and consistent. At the same time, the presidentelect has this opportunity to be a role model in the way he grows with the job.

I wonder, though, how he would deal with a leader with the same personality, self-confidence and strong will that he showed throughout the election cycle. Would he be able to adjust to the way someone else used his own playbook? Perhaps we have already seen glimpses of that, in the way he admires Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, with whom he seems to be sharing a daily global spotlight. People on both sides of the political aisle probably agree that Trump is a character. It would be a wonderful moment if they all recognized at some point that he also had the kind of character that inspired others to learn, grow and compete against the best in the world. Instead of recognizing and highlighting other people’s shortcomings, failures or deficiencies, Trump might also take a moment to see ways he himself can improve. If he shares his learning curve, he might provide a new route for others to do their best.

that lucky moment when my fingers brushed against his body. Anyway, I got a call from the doctor four days later with the surprising news that despite its large size, the critter was an engorged deer tick. Not good. We all know that deer ticks can carry Lyme disease and transmit it to humans when they suck up to you. We have had several deer sightings in the neighborhood, especially around a wooded piece of property nearby. To me they are beautiful, graceful animals, and I watch them with admiration as they run. But I certainly don’t appreciate the bugs they can bring and leave behind as a souvenir of their visits. The doctor asked me if I preferred waiting for the blood test, six weeks away, to determine if in fact I had been infected or if I wanted to go on the antibiotic regime immediately. I chose the latter and began taking 100 mg of doxycycline, with lots of water but no food as serious-

ly instructed, every 12 hours. But the story doesn’t end there. After only two pills, I developed a headache that just wouldn’t quit. This is apparently a not uncommon side effect with this medicine. So I was then transferred to 500 mg of amoxicillin three times a day for at least 20 days and advised also to take a daily probiotic, though not within two to three hours of each other, and to eat lots of yogurt. As we know, that only partially works to offset the distress to the gastrointestinal tract that accompanies regular doses of antibiotics. Plus I have broken out in splotches of itchy rashes, another unhappy side effect. Bottom line: A tick bite can be a nasty thing, bringing along all sorts of minor and even major miseries. So from my experience, I hope you will check your skin regularly, even hard to see places, and not assume that a tick is just another summer pest. Oh, by the way, Happy New Year!

A s-ticky start to 2017

ere we are, in a new year, and I am going to start off with a cautionary tale. I was just about to take a shower when I felt a small bump on my left thigh. I thought that was strange since I hadn’t before felt anything there but it was just beyond my view as I fingered the spot and craned my neck to try and see. Then, to my amazement, By Leah S. Dunaief the bump came off in my hand, revealing itself to be a tick. Ugh! The legs were moving so it was clearly alive and rather large, so I guessed it was a dog tick. With wonderful coincidence, I happened to have an appointment with the

dermatologist that afternoon, so I put the tick into a little plastic baggie and brought him this present. Although I half expected him to just throw it away, he in fact filled out the paperwork and sent it to a lab. Now I am sharing this with you because I suspect that, like me, you thought tick season had ended with the start of winter. I even stopped putting Frontline on my golden retriever, figuring any ticks would have gone into hibernation or been killed off by the colder weather. But I should have realized that the calendar and the weather aren’t always in sync. We have been enjoying fairly mild temperatures for this time of year and, as it turned out, so have the ticks. Now I don’t know if the tick fancied me rather than my dog, or if he just found me as I was walking across the lawn or brushing against a bush while putting out the garbage. However it happened, I was, so to speak, stuck with him until
