NY’s first net-zero energy use store opens in Miller Place By victoria eSPinoza

The first net-zero energy use store in New York opened in Miller Place on Friday. Brinkmann True Value Hardware is the first building in the state to earn the net-zero status, according to PSEG Long Island. This means the total amount of annual energy used is approximately equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the property. Local elected officials, members of PSEG Long Island and GreenLogic Energy, a renewable energy design and installation company, attended the grand opening.

“We were always interested in solar power, but when we met Al, it grew into something bigger. Net-zero energy got in our head; as soon as we heard of the idea, we fell in love with it,” coowner Ben Brinkmann said. Al, or Albert Harsch, renewable energy consultant for GreenLogic Energy, was very excited to see the idea come to fruition. “It stands as an example of what businesses can do on Long Island and I want to congratulate the Brinkmann family for being pioneers in this.” GreenLogic Energy was contracted by the Brinkmann family to design and enhance the

different technologies needed to effectively and efficiently create a net-zero result. During the planning and construction phase, the family also worked with PSEG, through the utility’s Commercial Efficiency Program, which

offers resources as well as rebates to customers who install energy-efficient equipment. The Brinkmann family was surprised to find out that they were the first net-zero building not only in their industry, but also the NeT-ZeRO continued on page a10

Mosquito sample from RP tests positive for West Nile By Erika karp

Mosquito samples from Port Jefferson Station, Rocky Point and East Northport have tested positive for West Nile virus, Suffolk County Health Services Commissioner James Tomarken announced on Friday. In total, six mosquito samples tested positive for the virus, bringing this year’s total to 13. While the insects were infected, no humans, horses or birds have tested positive for the virus in Suffolk County this year. Two samples collected from Port Jefferson Station on July 14, one sample collected from Rocky Point on July 16 and one sample collected from East Northport on July 17 tested positive, according to a press release from the health services department. Two other samples were gathered from Copiague and Dix Hills. West Nile virus was first detected in birds and mosquito samples in Suffolk County in 1999 and is transmitted to humans by mosquito bites. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70 to 80 percent of those infected with the virus do not develop any of the symptoms, which can include fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea and rash. Severe cases — less than 1 percent of infections — could

lead to a neurological illness. Tomarken said while there is no cause for alarm, his department is asking residents to help in their efforts to reduce the exposure to the virus. First, residents should try to eliminate stagnant water where mosquitoes breed. Popular breeding grounds include tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots, discarded tires, wading pools, wheelbarrows and birdbaths. In addition, residents can make sure their roof gutters are draining properly, clean debris from the edges of ponds and drain water from pool covers. To avoid mosquito bites, residents should minimize outdoor activities between dusk and dawn, cover up when mosquitoes are most active, use repellent and make sure windows and doors have screens in good repair. To report dead birds, which may indicate the presence of the virus, residents should call the county’s West Nile virus hotline at 631-787-2200 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Residents are encouraged to take a photograph of any bird in question. To report mosquito problems or stagnant pools of water, call the vector control division at 631-852-4270. For medical-related questions, call 631-854-0333.

LI’s fight against drug abuse gets help from Washington Zeldin throws support behind two substance abuse bills By Victoria Espinoza

Rep. Lee Zeldin took to Kings Park on July 19 to join the fight against drug abuse, an issue that is plaguing communities on Long Island and across the nation. Zeldin (R-Shirley) announced his backing of two bills in Congress — the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2015, H.R. 953, and the Stop Overdose Stat Act, H.R. 2850 — which seek to help those struggling with drug abuse and prevent future abuse. Zeldin is co-sponsoring both bills. “It’s clear we must come together as a community and a nation to combat this growing issue,” Zeldin said. According to the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, the percentage of state high school students who reported use of heroin more than doubled between 2005 and 2011, from 1.8 percent to 4 percent. “We can’t treat them and street them, which is what is currently happening in our emergency rooms,” said Linda Ventura, treasurer of Families in Support of Treatment, known as F.I.S.T., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and educating families which are struggling with a loved one’s addiction. “There should be no more shame with someone struggling with this disease, no, stigma — that has to go.” Ventura, who is also involved with the Suffolk County Prevention Resource Center, is more than just a member of activist groups. She lost her son, Thomas, in March 2012 to drugs. Bill 953 would help people grappling with drug abuse obtain the services needed to put them on the road to recovery. It would provide up to $80 million in the form of grant funding to help treat and prevent addiction through community-based education and prevention programs, and treatment and recovery programs.

The grants would further help expand prescription drug monitoring programs and provide police forces and emergency medical responders with higher supplies of Narcan, a prescription drug that slows down an opioid overdose so a person can live. The legislation has 20 co-sponsors — Democrats and Republicans — and was introduced by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI). “It’s a good bill on its merits alone, and it doesn’t matter what names or letters are attached to it,” Zeldin said. Bill 2850 would provide an additional $25 million over a five-year period for Narcan production and distribution and provide more medical professionals and families with the lifesaving drug. The act, introduced by Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), would also establish a preventative research task force that would look into ways to prevent future overdose deaths, while taking a preventative approach against drug abuse. Zeldin was joined by members of the community including Suffolk County Legislators Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) and Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset); Kim Revere, president of Kings Park in the kNOw, a task force promoting a drug free community; and Dr. Andrew Kolodny, chief medical officer of Phoenix House, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. The congressman wanted to show the only way to win the battle was to remain united. Like Ventura, the fight was personal for some of those in attendance at the July 19 press conference. Teri Kroll, secretary for F.I.S.T.’s board of directors and a member of the resource center, tragically lost her son to prescription pills. “I lost my son, Timothy, in August of 2009 after a 14-month struggle with prescription drugs, which eventually led to heroin,” she said. “He passed away after eight and a half months of sobriety.” Saji Francis, the doctor who pre-

scribed Timothy the drug he eventually became addicted to, was arrested shortly after Timothy passed away. In 2010, Francis was convicted of illegally selling prescription pills and sentenced to six months in jail. Kolodny, who also serves as the director of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing, explained how

many people start abusing drugs after taking prescription medications. “To control this epidemic we need to prevent new people from getting this disease, and treat those who are suffering,” he said. “We also need to get doctors and dentists to prescribe more cautiously. If not, these overdose levels with continue to rise.”

Craig Biggio inducted into 2015 MLB Hall of Fame Houston Astros second baseman and catcher is from Kings Park By CLAyton CoLLIer

Much like he did during his 20-year playing career, Craig Biggio left it all out on the field Sunday. However, instead of an orange-and-white Houston Astros jersey and eye black, the former catcher and second baseman was donning a navy blue suit and a touch of perspiration seeping from his forehead on the hazy summer afternoon, with the hair above his ears just beginning to show signs of graying. Instead of coming to bat before a packed Astrodome or Minute Maid Park, Biggio took to the podium in front of an estimated 45,000 people on the grassy plain behind the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown to accept his induction into the MLB Hall of Fame. Grinning ear-to-ear as he began his 17-minute speech, Biggio spoke at length about the place where the journey to his now-Hall of Fame career began, “in a little town, Kings Park, New York.” Senator John Flanagan (R-East Northport), who represents the Second Senate District, congratulated Biggio in a statement on his Facebook page saying the longtime Houston Astro is “an inspiration to young local athletes by showing them that they can achieve greatness if they work hard.” Biggio, a member of the 3,000-hit club, said he acquired his work ethic from his parents, Yolanda and Lee. The seven-time AllStar’s voice became shaky as he described them: “two hard-working people who are no longer here. But I know they’re watching.’’ His father was an air-traffic controller who never missed a game. Every day, Biggio said, his father would tie a rope around his waist, then to the backstop while he threw to the young slugger during batting practice to prevent him from lunging at the plate. “It worked,” Biggio said in his accep-

He played “He was part of the journey,” Biggio

said in his post-induction press conference. “How do you get to the Hall of Fame? You got to have a little bit of talent and a lot of people to help you along the way.” Biggio was drafted in the first round of the 1987 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros, going on to play the entirety of his two-decade career in an Astros uniform. Adam Everett, a teammate of Biggio’s from 2001 to 2007, said he learned a great deal from Biggio about how to play the game the right way. “There’s only one way to play, and that’s hard,” he said. “I owe a lot of my career to him and I really appreciate what he did for me.” Biggio amassed 3,060 hits, 661 doubles and was hit by a record 285 pitches while playing second base, catcher and outfield at various points in his major league career. He also drew 1,160 walks and stole 414 bases. Though Biggio has lived in Houston for more than 25 years, his impact on Kings Park is still felt. “It’s great having an alum like Craig Biggio, because we can always refer to him to our current student-athletes as to what is possible and what can happen through hard work,” current athletic director Bill Denniston said. The first three words of Biggio’s Hall of Fame plaque read “gritty spark plug,” an appropriate description of a player known for giving it his all in every game. In return, the game of baseball has given the local paperboy from Kings Park turned-MLB great an even greater gift, immortality. “I gave the game everything I had every day,” Biggio said. “In baseball, tomorrow is not guaranteed, and I tried to play every game as if it was going to be my last. I want to thank the game for everything. The game has given me everything: my family, my friends, respect, but most of all memories of a lifetime.” Visit www.TBRNewsMedia.com for the full story.

first retail facility in the state. Energy efficiency measures for the store include solar panels, geothermal heating and air conditioning, LED lighting and equipment, and a thermoplastic cool roof. The cool roof is able to reflect sunlight and heat away from the building, which reduces the roof temperature. By employing energy-efficient measures, the store will save 64,000-kilowatt hours of energy per year, for savings of roughly $11,000 annually. According to PSEG, the initiative is

equivalent to removing 27 cars from the road, or 14,804 gallons of gas not consumed, annually. “These small businesses continue to invest in the community, and we’re seeing a resurgence of these kind of establishments; our residents want a personal touch when they shop,” Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) said. Losquadro said he hopes the store will serve as an inspiration and model for the town. The Brinkmann family is in no way done with their efforts. “We have more expansion planned; it’s our goal by 2025 to be net-zero company-wide,” Brinkmann said. File photo

year, and Bellone signed the legislation into law just days before Christmas. The four laws tackle the issue of veteran homelessness from different angles — one establishes a partnership between agencies and community advocates that serve veterans and their families and helps them set up an informational web portal on the county’s website to direct them to services available across all levels of government and within the nonprofit sector. Another maximizes access to available housing for veterans. The third amended the county’s human rights law by adding veterans as a group of individuals protected against discrimination in housing and employment opportunities. The last bill will require a veteran services officer to work at the county’s Department of Social Services on a regular basis. The officers must be veterans as well, in order to establish a peer-topeer relationship between those they are helping. “As an agency committed to ensuring empowering people to overcome the impact of health and mental health disabilities, it is our intent to devote these houses to assist male and female veterans who have been affected by service-connected and post-service transition mental health challenges,” Michael Stoltz, chief executive officer of the Association for Mental Health and Wellness said in a statement. “I thank Suffolk County for partnering with our organization to further assist us in supporting our veterans.” File photo by Rohma Abbas

OPINION

Charity shouldn’t be seasonal. Donate money or food during the summer, when some children who rely on school lunch programs need it the most.

EDITORIAL

Step up to the plate

Every fall and winter, good-hearted Long Islanders far and wide reach into their pockets to donate goods and food in the spirit of the holidays. It’s so easy to imagine life without a jacket or a warm Thanksgiving dinner when it’s November or December. You won’t have to look hard to find numerous coat drives and food drives around that time of the year. And that’s a great thing. But it’s not enough. Summer hunger pangs exist right in our own backyard. And they are growing Island-wide — particularly among children who rely on school lunch programs but don’t have access to that food during the summer. Island Harvest food bank, a hunger relief organization based in Mineola, reported earlier this month that it expanded its summer-food service program. Last summer, they served 103,000 meals to 3,500 kids at 49 sites throughout the Island. This year, they anticipate dishing out more than 175,000 meals to about 4,000 children at 55 sites. Those are some eye-opening statistics, especially when you consider what we already know about hunger on Long Island. A 2010 national study prepared for Island Harvest and another nonprofit, Long Island Cares, claims 283,700 people on Long Island receive emergency food each year. Of that group, 39 percent are under 18 years old. For many of us who are fortunate, summer is our kick-back-and-relax season — a chance for us to embark on those sun-soaked vacations and long weekend trips or just leave work early on Fridays. But there are some who can’t afford to get away, and constantly struggle to make ends meet. We urge our fellow Long Islanders to channel the holiday spirit this summer. Pitch in by donating money, your time or food. Grab a cardboard box your local deli may not need and bring it to the office — get your coworkers in on it — and collect some food. Donate the box to your local food pantry. Charity shouldn’t be seasonal. It’s time we step up to the plate all year long.

Three Village readers are debating the merit behind displaying different flags from America’s past.

Evil versus good TO THE EDITOR: On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof walked into the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston and ended the lives of nine beautiful, faithful people. Four days later, at the AME Church’s regular Sunday service, the Reverend Norvel Goff spoke to an overflowing crowd of different races. “The church doors are open to send a message to every demon in hell and on earth,” he said. “Some wanted to divide the race, black, white and brown, but no weapon formed against us shall prosper.” Evidently faith in God is not newsworthy unless it’s being denigrated, and prayers of forgiveness do not incite outrage, so the reverend’s sermon did not get its deserved airtime. However, when a photograph of the deranged shooter holding a Confederate flag

surfaced, a long-term debate that few gave thought to months ago was resurrected with a fever and the scent of invoking political views in the wake of an atrocity. The murderer’s name is Dylann Roof, not the flag of the Confederacy, and most who display it are not white supremacists. A symbol of the South became the villain, and the actual tragedy and ensuing message of unity from the church was blanketed. Ages before Hitler unfurled the swastika on the Nazi flag, its design stood for good luck and well-being, but bracketed to the genocide of millions, the “hooked cross” became a repulsive image. The point being made is we can’t keep blaming objects for the actions of madmen; we need to recognize that evil exists in this world. It’s imbedded in the minds and hearts, or lack thereof, of people so full of loathing or pain that

they can do the unimaginable. A flag doesn’t have a soul and it certainly can’t pull a trigger, but evil destroys lives. True evil needs to be acknowledged or, like a cancer left untreated, it will spread. Ultimately, South Carolina Governor Nikki R. Haley’s bill, which removed the flag from statehouse grounds and put it in a museum, was said to honor the memory of the “Emanuel Nine.” Perhaps all could agree and take a moment to say a prayer, or at least give thought, to the victims of the Emanuel AME massacre, their suffering families and the church community, whose response to this unthinkable slaughter deserves celebration and praise. And let’s be glad Dylann Roof was not photographed near a Christmas tree. Joanne Tereshko Setauket

Not much satisfaction with these kidney stones

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

am now a member of a club that I would just as soon not have joined. It started with vomiting. I haven’t vomited in so long that my wife and daughter had never seen, or heard, the process. My daughter said I shriek in a scare-the-bats-outof-a-tree way just before releasing the contents of my stomach. After this vomiting episode, I

questioned what I’d eaten, what new allergies I might have developed or what stomach bug or virus I might have picked up. Vomiting, however, was only one of a host of symptoms, including extreme lower abdominal pain that radiated to my back. I had kidney stones. My taller brothers don’t have kidney stones. Did I hit the genetic jackpot: crooked teeth, nearsightedness, vertically challenged and, gulp, kidney stones? Is it possible — and I’m hoping this is the case — that my diet somehow caused this excruciating experience and, as such, I’ll have some control over my kidney future? When I said the words “kidney stones” in public, I saw a universal sympathy and support, even from people who are less than thrilled to see or hear from me. “Oh, man, I gave birth to four kids and none of the deliveries was anything like the pain of having kidney stones,” one woman

confided as she offered a reassuring squeeze of my arm. Of course, after the little, lifealtering intruders come out of our kidneys, bladders or anywhere in between, they don’t smile broadly at us, learn to walk and share an unending love — and the occasional sneer — with us. They’re just a hard pebble that uses our nerve endings like tightly wound strings on a violin of pain. “My brother is a firefighter, built his house with his own hands and catches pitches without a baseball glove. I’ve never seen him as uncomfortable as he was when he had kidney stones. He was crying on the floor of the emergency room,” another woman recalled. A friend said the pain embraced his abdomen, back and legs. He could barely move until he’d ejected the stones. Other than the vomiting, the thing that struck me, literally, about my kidney stones was how impossible it was to get comfortable. No position

helped: sitting, standing, praying with my head down and backside up. Pacing the room, putting my arms over my head, pulling out the hairs on my leg and curling my toes under my feet as I walked did nothing to distract me from the acute agony. “One to 10 on a pain scale?” the emergency room nurse asked me on my first hospital visit. “11,” I muttered, as I crouched next to the hospital bed in a catcher’s position. “Sit here, honey,” she offered. “I can’t,” I whined. After glancing at my face, she raced out of the room and jogged back with an IV and painkillers. Even strangers rallied around me. I called to cancel a hotel reservation within moments of the allowable policy. When I mentioned kidney stones, the operator promised to hold the reservation past the usual time and would allow me to cancel the next day, free of charge, if I couldn’t make it. When I called the following

I saw a universal sympathy and support. morning after a brutal night, she wished me a quick end to my kidney stone saga. Eventually, when it was clear my stone wasn’t rolling itself out of my body, I had a procedure to remove it with its own aftercare challenges. My recovery, despite some pain, is considerably more comfortable than the agony of a kidney stone. I’m hoping some time down the road, a medical miracle worker turns these particular stones to rubble before they bring their unwelcome pain again.

The overwhelming responsibility of being a parent

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

o. 1 son turned 50 this week, and while that may have been a shock to him, it was also a shock to me. After properly celebrating the occasion with the family, I am left with the astonishing thought that I have been a parent for 50 years. What does it mean to be a parent? For starters, I know that the single biggest difference in my life, and I suspect in most

people’s lives, comes with having a child. Getting married isn’t such a dramatic change, especially today when dating for years before marriage has become more the norm. Accommodating another adult into one’s daily routine, if done incrementally and with someone of compatible outlook, isn’t all that jarring. But just put a newborn baby into the mix and any semblance of order and predictability goes right out the window. A newborn brings instant humility to the parents. Even downright terror. One of the most appealing qualities in the man who eventually became my husband was his desire to have children. His eagerness matched my own. Now I know there are some who do not wish to procreate but, for us, the prospect of loving and raising children was as natural as taking the next breath. This is not a carefully thought-out ideology — it is, for many, just instinct. So then why was I so terrified when we brought that little

package of squirming baby home from the hospital and laid him in the middle of our king-size bed? It’s one thing to think about dishing out gobs of love in the abstract. It’s another when the love is commensurate with responsibility. I don’t believe I ever thought about having a child in quite these stark terms: I was directly responsible for the survival of another human being. And there he was, in need of an immediate diaper change. I didn’t recognize the totality of my terror until I brought him to the pediatrician for his first-month checkup. The doctor weighed him and exclaimed that his healthy weight gain was “a result of his nursing.” Then the doctor measured him and carried on about his length. This kid was off the charts — he was destined to be center for the Knicks. That was the doctor’s reaction. Mine was an intense relief that the baby was going to live. With no prior experience or exposure to infants, I was afraid

that I would inadvertently cause his demise. And without realizing it, I had silently lived with that fear for a whole month. The sense of responsibility for another’s life can be overwhelming. It is certainly built into our architecture, to a greater or lesser degree, for the rest of our lives. Their pain is our pain. And alternately, their successes are our successes. Little did I know that the first month of a baby’s life is, in some ways, the easiest time with a child — except for the fatigue factor. All one has to do is diaper, bathe, feed and burp an average newborn before putting him or her down to sleep. The harder parts come later — and also the more satisfying ones. Someone said to me, “Once a parent, always a parent.” That is a truism. Yes, children grow up, they learn and mature, they achieve and they marry, they may even go on to have children of their own. They are always our children, even if they are 50, or 47, or 46 — the ages of my three sons. And while I

happily and consciously lifted the weight of responsibility for their lives off my shoulders and mentally placed it on theirs at the time of their majority, I am still and forever will be the parent. And nothing I have ever done in my life has given me greater satisfaction. In the course of our lives, theirs and mine, they have become my helpmates and advisers, my playmates and my friends. They now share a sense of responsibility for my life. It goes both ways, this caring. But the relationship will always be asymmetrical. Someone else once said, “If children loved their parents as much as parents love their children, the human race would come to an end. The children would never leave home.”
