“Addiction is a family disease.” That’s what Tracey Budd and social worker Mary Calamia had to say during the North Shore Drug Awareness Advocates community event about heroin use on Long Island. Around 20 residents gathered at the Rocky Point Veterans of Foreign Wars headquarters on Feb. 24 to discuss drug laws, heroin use in the community and how to combat the Island’s heroin issues. Budd, of Rocky Point, estab-

lished the advocates group last fall. Her son, Kevin Norris, was one of many heroin users on Long Island before he died of an overdose in September 2012. With the creation of this group, Budd hopes to educate local communities on drug awareness and establish a support system for drug users and their families who are seeking help. She tries to hold a meeting at least once a month. “I’m hoping that as parents, neighbors [and] friends, we learn how to advocate [about drug awareness] a little more, rather than putting it on Facebook,” Budd said about residents who have sought help through social media outlets, especially with acquiring the anti-overdose medication Narcan. She was among several residents, including Dorothy Johnson, of Blue Point, who said people need to change how they view heroin users. Johnson is a member of the Great South Bay Coalition. She

lost her son four years ago to a heroin overdose and has fought to increase drug awareness ever since. For Johnson, heroin and drug users aren’t junkies, but everyday people in need of help. “It’s not that they’re bad and sitting on a street corner,” Johnson said. “It’s somebody that’s walking around in a suit and tie that comes from a good family.” Many of these families do not change how they view or deal with their relatives once they return from a rehabilitation center.

According to Calamia, treating rehabilitated individuals as though they still use heroin or other drugs will only encourage future drug use. In light of heroin use on Long Island, the Suffolk County Police Department started using Narcan in August 2012, according to Dr. Scott Coyne, chief surgeon for the police department. While Narcan allows officials and those trained to administer it to save people who overdose on heroin or opiateDRUg aWaReNeSS continued on page a8

Miller Place reveals first budget projection By alex PetroSki

Miller Place Superintendent Marianne Higuera presented her proposed budget for the 201617 school year on Feb. 24. The proposed budget of $70,602,887 would be $596,007 higher than the budget for the current school year. All instructional and noninstructional programs from the current school year would remain intact. “We expect some things might look a little bit different, but we’re not looking to eliminate any programs,” Higuera said following the presentation, which was made by school business official Colleen Card. “We’re not looking to eliminate any teams, any clubs; and we’re going to be able to maintain all of our programs from this year to next year,” Higuera added. Though the budget would increase by a small amount,

the school board unanimously approved a tax levy decrease of 0.14 percent on Feb. 24. That means that the district will have about $62,000 less revenue from tax dollars in 2016-17 compared to the current school year. Despite less tax revenue, the proposed budget would be bal-

anced by a $3.5 million fund balance and additional state aid thanks to a partial restoration of money lost to the Gap Elimination Adjustment, which deducted about $13 million from funding to Miller Place since its inception several years ago. The adjustment deducted money

from districts across New York state as a means to eliminate a budget deficit. Higuera’s proposed budget accounts for about $20.6 million in state aid. The district will also benefit from a small amount of required retirement payments this year, Higuera said. Johanna Testa, president of the board of education, heaped praise on the district’s administration after the presentation. “Keeping all programs and being able to propose a budget that keeps all of our academic programs and increases our capital project funding when we’re in a negative tax levy cap, that’s really amazing,” Testa said. The school board and administration convened again on March 2 for a budget workshop meeting at Miller Place High School. Budget adoption will take place on March 30.

Echo Ave revitalization project is complete Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro (R) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) announced the completion of a revitalization project designed to enhance pedestrian safety and beautify a busy stretch of Echo Avenue between North Country Road and New York Avenue in Sound Beach. The downtown project, which included the addition of handicap-accessible sidewalks, new curbs and guiderails, crosswalks, decorative lighting and ornamental trees, was made possible, in part, from a Community Development Block Grant. With CDBG funding covering a portion of the project, the Brookhaven Highway Department went out to bid for the project. The total cost was approximately $500,000, including the CDBG grant in the amount of approximately $110,000. “The completion of this project is another example of the Highway Department’s continuing efforts to bring a downtown feel to one of our Brookhaven communities, similar to what we had done in Rocky Point in 2014,” Losquadro said. “In addition to beautifying the area, this project provided long-term solutions to many of the safety concerns voiced by local residents and business owners.” As part of this three-month revitalization project, a four-foot wide sidewalk was constructed on the north side of Echo Avenue, beginning at North Coun-

try Road. A crosswalk was installed at the corner of Devon Road, near CaraMia Pizzeria, across Echo Avenue to connect the sidewalks that continue to New York Avenue. In addition, the triangle at the Shinnecock Drive and Echo Avenue intersection — the site of the Sound Beach Civic Organization’s “Welcome to Sound Beach” sign — was expanded to provide

an entryway to the community. “Walkable communities can only happen if pedestrians feel safe and the streetscapes that they travel are pleasant and inviting,” Bonner said. Bea Ruberto, president of the Sound Beach Civic Association, said the improvements to the roadway have not only made it better for residents to walk and

drive, but have also made it more welcoming to those entering the hamlet. “We’re so grateful to Jane, Dan and the Town for realizing that smaller towns like Sound Beach add to what makes Brookhaven such a great place to live, work, and play,” she said. “And, of course, we look forward to further improvements in our little hamlet.”

For 31 years, Diamond Auto Body & Glass of Port Jefferson Station has served the residents and businesses of the North Shore. Owner Joe Savastano and his shop manager Brian Coveney have worked together since the shop’s opening in 1985, generally with at least two other technicians. As a full service auto body shop, they repair cars, vans and trucks, even up to tractor trailer size! They work with a computerized frame straightener which matches the specs of the frame “down to the millimeter.” There is a spray booth for all paint jobs and a computerized paint matching system which can match the exact shade of paint, whether it is a late model car or a ‘47 Ford. Diamond Auto Body is a direct repair shop for several of the major insurance companies and deals with all major insurance companies. They will take care of all the paperwork for the customer. They give free estimates on all repair jobs. Auto glass replacement is another specialty at Diamond Auto Body & Glass. Generally, all glass replacement can be done on the same day and they will deal with the insurance company for you. Joe and his crew also do complete interior and exterior restorations. Towing is available 24/7. Joe has had a lifelong love of cars and knows what makes them tick. He started working in a gas station at age 12. He bought his first car at age 14, an old junker that he rebuilt and then he was hooked. He started hanging out in an auto body shop and was made an apprentice. Joe opened his first shop, Coach Auto Body & Glass in Huntington in the 1960’s and then moved on to his current Port Jefferson Station location at Diamond Auto Body & Glass in 1985. Joe shares, “I get a lot of satisfaction seeing the change in a car from when it comes in all crumpled up and leaves us straight and shiny again.” Most Diamond Auto Body & Glass customers come from word of mouth - recommendations of other customers. One satisfied customer recently shared, “See Joe, he’s fair. You get a fair shake and he does quality work.” Joe is extremely active in the community. He has been a chamber member for over 31 years and is a past president. As a Vietnam war veteran, the chamber flag fund is especially near and dear to Joe’s heart. He is always looking for help keeping the flag flying at the intersection of Rtes. 347 and 112 at the chamber’s railroad car. At 20’x30’ it is the largest and highest flying flag in the Town of Brookhaven. The cost per flag is $450 and at least 4 flags are needed each year. Joe is a member of the Port Jefferson Elks and past exalted ruler and trustee, a member of the Moose Lodge, and a member of the American Legion.

PEOPLE

Students learn lessons in culture with mystery reader Third-grade students from the Miller Place’s Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School recently learned about different cultures when visited by a mystery storyteller who told tales that have been passed down from generation to generation. Cher Bebeau, great-aunt of a thirdgrade Miller Place student, used fun voices and provided student participation to tell old folktales and stories with meaningful morals. Bebeau’s stories tied into the third-grade social studies curriculum, and students generated questions to ask her for her next visit. Photo from Miller Place school district

Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School first-graders in Christina Capaldi and Erin Glennon’s class took a look into the future as part of a recent multidisciplinary project. In honor of one classmates’ 100-yearold great-grandmother and the upcoming 100th day of school, students used their imaginations to envision what they would look like when they turned 100 and created predictions as to what changes they would see in the world.

based drugs, public and safety officials said some drug users abuse the system. As an example, Capt. William Murphy said the police department has saved an unidentified Mastic Beach resident around 11 times using Narcan. Brookhaven Town councilman, Kevin LaValle (R-Selden), added that one woman who got into a car crash on Middle Country Road and Nicolls Road a few weeks ago demanded Narcan from first responders. According to LaVal-

le, officials can’t test a resident’s blood after receiving Narcan. “Sometimes I feel bad for the young kids we’re locking up,” said Sgt. Keith Olsen of the SCPD. “They need help. They’re not the dealer. They’re not turning it over. They’re not the ones causing trouble.” Currently, patients can go home shortly after officials administer the medication. Budd is trying to establish a 72-hour hold for these patients, which will allow hospitals to monitor patients following the procedure. She helped establish a 24-hour hotline for drug users and their families or friends who are looking for help, after she attended

a conference at the office of Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) last September. The new full-service substance abuse hotline, announced last week, will serve as what officials call a lifeline to residents battling drug addiction, which lawmakers have been struggling to address across Long Island for years. To get there, the county teamed up with Stony Brook Medicine and the state’s health department as well as the county’s private and public community partners in the substance abuse field to allow residents to call to get screenings, referrals and follow-ups. The Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence will operate the 24hour hotline and direct callers to those resources. Providing a single phone number to call for a myriad of resources and services is key to assisting those who are battling addiction and their families, officials said. “Like many places in this country, Suffolk County is facing an opioid epidemic of historic proportions,” Bellone said in a statement. “We need to tackle this epidemic on all fronts — including prevention, treatment and law enforcement.” The hotline will become live by April, Bellone said, and the county health department will provide oversight and analyze data to monitor its effectiveness, and identify trends and emerging issues in the community. “Every second counts to a mother whose son or daughter was found and saved from overdosing,” said county Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). The majority leader was the author of several laws credited with preventing more than 1,000 opioid over-

doses in Suffolk since the summer of 2012. “And every hour and every daay that slips by trying to find quality, affordable, accessible treatment is critical,” she added. County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) echoed similar sentiments and said the area’s substance abuse issue was pervasive and touched the lives of more than those who suffered from addiction. “This initiative will provide [the] opportunity for addicts to reach out during their time of need, and access treatment and support options easily,” he said. “Often, there is a critical and brief period of time when a person sees clarity and makes the decision to seek help. This hotline can be fertile ground for change and recovery as it can quickly link residents to crucial health care services.” Phil Corso contributed reporting.

Miller Place girls go undefeated in 7th-grade CYO league Girls’ BasketBall The St. Louis de Montfort girls’ 7th grade Catholic Youth Organization basketball team finished the regular season with a perfect 12-0 record and went undefeated in the postseason as well to capture the Long Island championship title. In the finals, the girls defeated St. Raymond’s of East Rockaway, 28-20. Throughout the season, the girls were spirited and supportive of one another. The team was successful, according to coach Steve Molinaro, because of its tough man-to-man defense and the players’ unselfishness and patience on the offensive end of the court.

the St. Louis de Montfort team celebrates after its Long island championship win.

ized this season could be a special one when it defeated previously unbeaten the St. Matthew of Dix Hills team by 10 points before a packed gym in a very competitive setting. What makes this accomplishment more noteworthy is that the girls competed in the seventh-grade league, even though the majority of the team is in sixth grade. The team of Miller Place girls, which is also coached by Bob Steele, was led by leading scorer Alexa Corbin. Leading the team in rebounds were Lauren Molinaro and Lizzie Doherty. The team’s point guard was Andie Mott. Hitting shots from the gap were Emily Steele and Abby Beers, and leading the team’s tenacious defense was Bridget Nielsen, Emma LaMountain, Amelia Angelo and Jordyn Bloom. Leading the team in spirit was Sierra Gray.

YOUR COLLEGE FUTURE

Spring into the new season with a college road trip Your turn

BY RYan DeVito

College visits and springtime go handin-hand. If you are a high school student, you should make plans to tour a handful of colleges. Early college visits are helpful, especially as students decide which schools to apply to in their senior year. You should plan to see a few schools this spring — enough that you will be able to draw comparisons and get a better idea of what you’re looking for in a college experience. Try to visit a variety of schools at this point in the game: large and small, public and private, urban and suburban. Make it a point to visit both “reach” and “safe” schools, too. Having a varied college road trip itinerary could be helpful later on as you narrow down the list of schools you will apply to.

taking trips to visit colleges early, and not on prospective student days, will help when deciding what college to go to and to help get a real taste for a regular day on campus.

Spring break is a great time for a high school student to visit a college. Nearly all colleges are in session during high school breaks, so you will be able to get a real taste for life on campus. Sign up for official campus tours once you decide which schools you would like to visit. You could wander around a school on your own, but going with a trained tour guide is a better bet. Signing up for a tour has other benefits, too. Admissions offices love to know that you’re interested in a school, and there’s no bet-

ter way to show interest than to go on an official tour. Plus, on a tour you’ll be able to ask questions of a student guide who can give you all the information you could ever want. Marketing brochures can’t replace real students. Keep in mind that a college visit should be fun. I find that touring more than two schools a day is overwhelming, so I wouldn’t recommend a whirlwind weekend during which you tour nine schools in two days. Eventually, the schools start to blend together. So, I also

recommend using some type of simple spreadsheet to evaluate each school and keep them straight. After you tour a school, spend some time walking around the campus on your own. Talk to students, take pictures and peek into academic buildings. If a college is going to be your home for four years, you want to be sure that you know exactly what you’ll be committing to. If possible, avoid visiting schools on “prospective student” or “admitted student” days. Colleges plan and package these event days so that everything seems perfect on campus. Though many students fall in love with schools during these types of events, a wise student will return to see a more “average” day on campus. Sophomores and juniors shouldn’t get their hearts set on any one school before they even apply, and the best way to avoid a heartbreak down the road is to get an honest view of campus on a regular tour day. College visits are great fun. Take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather by planning visits to a variety of schools before summer break begins in May.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Help is just a phone call away

A new 24-hour hotline will soon be available to Long Islanders battling addiction, bringing new hope to families struggling to overcome drug-related issues. Suffolk County officials recently announced their hotline, which the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence will run in order to direct callers to different resources in the area based upon their needs. It could launch by April. While addiction is a growing issue that lawmakers have struggled to address, this hotline will become a new tool to combat it. We can see it assisting many people who previously would not have known where to turn. It could be particularly helpful because it will provide an easy route for a population that is often so isolated that they have trouble digging themselves out of the hole of

The dying flowers TO THE EDITOR: I found “Where have all the Chinese flowers gone?” (Feb. 11, page A27) very heartwarming. May I add that the Chinese are benevolent by nature and their culture is blended in strong family ties. With this loving nature, they are under great duress, living under the communist People’s

addiction. Some have been pushed away by their families, or have only old friends who reinforce bad habits. But the hotline will be there in their moment of clarity, no matter the hour, to steer them toward the support they need. Until the hotline launches a few weeks from now, there are other places to call for help: LICADD: 631-979-1700 Response of Suffolk County 24-hour hotline: 631-751-7500 North Shore Youth Council drug/ alcohol hotline: 631-481-4000 Hope House Ministries: 631-978-0188 Phoenix House’s Edward D.

Republic of China. How sad that these flowers suffer so under this oppressive society. Today there is much to share in the suffering of humanity. The oppression in the Middle East that is being placed upon humanity now grows to human carnage. May the flowers of our society survive our human race. God bless America. Leonard J.

TO THE EDITOR: Everyone has moments when the support and understanding of others seem hard to find, and it is for such moments that RESPONSE of Suffolk County, Inc. was born. RESPONSE of Suffolk County is a nationally accredited, non-profit agency that provides a confidential and anonymous hotline for anyone who needs to talk. RESPONSE is seeking volunteer crisis counselors and will offer a free training program to those interested in becoming the caring voice on the other end of the line. Part one of the training program will be held on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3, and continues on Saturday, April 9, and Sunday,

tbrnewsmedia.com

April 10. Sessions will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day and trainees must attend all four sessions. Training will take place in the Stony Brook area. No experience is necessary, only a sincere willingness to learn and grow, and the ability to make a six-month commitment of four hours a week is required. Response provides two types of telephone assistance lines and both are heavily dependent on volunteer talent. The crisis intervention hotline takes over 20,000 calls each year about a wide range of subjects – substance abuse, domestic violence, depression, family conflict, grief and suicidal thoughts, among many others. The support line provides over 5,000 telephone “visits” yearly to individuals who are homebound or have limited social support due to a

Messages for sporting kids

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

I

can relate to Charlie Brown’s teacher. She speaks — and Charlie and his pals in the “Peanuts” cartoon hear noise without words. As a coach of numerous teams, I have seen that blank look, recognized the glare and the stare and wondered if anyone would notice if I switched to a discussion of lollipops

and subatomic particles. I am near the end of a basketball season. As we were winning a recent game by 20 points, one of the boys on the bench confided that he wished the game was more competitive. In our next game, he got his wish. In a physical contest, the officiating seemed unbalanced. How, several parents articulated with increasing volume as the first half drew to a close, did we get so few foul calls when we could see the red marks on our children’s arms and necks from contact with the opposing players? With concerns about calls, parents and the kids became increasingly vocal. During my halftime talk, I could see the hurt and anger in the kids’ eyes. “How come he can keep pushing me and he doesn’t get called for a foul, and I go near him and the ref blows the whistle?” one of them asked. Officiating isn’t easy. I was an umpire for baseball games

in which every full-count pitch was a borderline strike. It was up to me to decide whether the boy struck out or to send him to first base. Still, in that moment, as the coach of those boys on the basketball court, I was frustrated. I did what I imagine chairmen do: I sent my assistant coach to ask the referees about the calls. It was cowardly, but I wanted to stay on the court and try to manage through this tense contest. I could be the good guy and he could be the one whining. I told the boys to play hard, stay focused and stick together. An eight-point deficit, I insisted, was manageable, especially with an entire half left in the game. But then something happened early in the second half. As the game got close, one of the boys from the other team got fouled on a 3-point shot. He stepped to the line in a quiet gym. Just as he was

getting ready to shoot, one of the parents on my team barked at him, making him alter his shot and causing him to miss. The referee threw out the parent and the boy made the next two free throws. While I didn’t agree with many of the foul calls, I understood the need to eject the parent. With the game close the rest of the way, parents, coaches and players became increasingly animated, sharing the kinds of noises you’d hear at a Red Sox-Yankees game. What’s the right message to offer the kids at the end of a tense game? I got my answer a few days later, when I interviewed Port Jefferson Station’s Annie O’Shea, who has had a breakout year in the World Cup in skeleton racing. Driven by teamwork and an ability to prevent any adversity from turning into negative internal dialogue, O’Shea found

Work together and stay focused, says skeleton racing World Cup star, Annie O’Shea. the kind of consistent success she’d always sought. She won gold and silver medals in races against the top international sliders and finished fourth for the entire season in the World Cup. She said she stays focused on each turn, without worrying about the clock, what someone said or anything else that might slow her down. It all started with a positive attitude. That kind of attitude doesn’t come from barking or from screaming about calls from officials. It comes from working together and staying focused. So, did we win? Does it matter?

Time to restore those New Year’s resolutions

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

T

his is the critical time, the time when those who cannot hold on any longer have fallen off their New Year’s resolutions track.

That’s most of us. The best of intentions, articulated amid holiday cheers, have a way of trailing off in the cold light of January and February. If you are among those committed few who are going strong and plowing ahead, congratulations. If, however, you are like the rest of us, weak but still wishful, I have some thoughts on the subject of resolutions. Statistics tell us that by Valentine’s Day, 80 percent of people who would like to improve their lives have given up. What we are not told is how many start again. Really, it not necessary for resolutions only to be made beneath mistletoe. If we peter out, we can pick ourselves up and begin anew. The

pressure is off. And here are some tricks to sticking with it this time. Don’t make unrealistic resolutions that are overwhelming. Want to lose 30 pounds? Losing weight is a common idea, but it is hard to break eating habits and it is a slow process. However, breaking the 30 pounds into smaller goals, like 1 pound a week, is doable. And a small success encourages endurance. Try to find a buddy to lose weight with, even going to the gym together. Whatever your goal is, it’s easier with support from someone else and it surely is more fun. It’s harder to go it alone. Some people might prefer to keep their resolutions private,

in which case the buddy idea doesn’t work. There are some good reasons for privacy. Making public commitments can create too much pressure. Or maybe you don’t want others to know how bad things really are and how much you need improving — if it isn’t already obvious. And then there are those who try to sabotage you, for whatever reason. It’s not pretty, but such urges exist in humans. Perhaps out of competitive motives or fear, you will be a different person and your adversaries won’t be worthy of you. Attempt to make resolutions fun. Fix on what you will do or how you will feel once your goal is realized. The drudgery of getting there is taking you

Try to limit the number to the two most important items at most. Otherwise life gets too confusing and energy is dissipated in different directions. Finally, if you give up, start again. I have. When resolutions become habits, they will carry us to our goal. And habits are much easier to practice than that heavy, multisyllabic word, “resolutions.”
