Lights of Hope honors those battling addiction REBECCA ANZEL When Daniel Scofield died in 2011 from a heroin overdose, his mother Dori decided to do something. “I wasn’t going to keep [his death] under the carpet,” she said. “I just said, ‘I’ve got to bring this out into the world. My son was my life and I’m not going to bury his addiction with him. I have to help others. I have to bring awareness.’” In April 2014, the founder of Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue and Adoption Center started Dan’s Foundation for Recovery, a not-forprofit organization that provides assistance to those suffering from alcohol or substance abuse. The group uses its donations to help an

addict get help — it assists addicts in covering insurance copayments, treatment and travel costs to recovery centers in other states. Scofield co-hosted Lights of Hope Aug. 31 at Memorial Park in Port Jefferson. The event, which is in its third year, brought together families and friends to remember those who died from a drug overdose and to support those who are recovering from drug addiction. The event’s other co-host was Public Relations Director Debbie Gross Longo of the New York Chapter of Magnolia New Beginnings, an advocacy, education, support and addiction resource group. “Each year, unfortunately the crowd gets bigger,” Longo said. “We lose about 129 kids a day

throughout the United States. This is something that is an epidemic. It has gotten out of control and there’s no reason for it.” Longo’s son was a soccer player at Ward Melville High School. He was so talented, she said, he was being scouted by colleges. That was before he tore his quadriceps. The doctors at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson prescribed him oxycodone, and he became addicted. The price per pill of oxycodone is expensive — about $45 each, Longo said. So he switched to heroin, a much less expensive but more potent drug. Before long, his personality began to change. “The changes happened pretty quickly until I couldn’t ignore it any

longer, and that’s when he went to rehab,” she said. “It didn’t work the first time, it didn’t work the second time and it didn’t work the third time.” Longo said her son is now living in a sober community in Florida helping other addicts get into recovery. According to a 2015 New York State Opioid Poisoning, Overdose and Prevention report, there were 337 heroin-related deaths in Suffolk County between 2009 and 2013 — more than any other county in the state during that period. In a brief speech at the Lights for Hope event, Scofield stressed the importance of helping those

“My sister was always the one that was better than me so it was satisfying to do the same thing as her,” he said. Their father, Yong Cai, used to play the violin years ago and is currently a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory. While his oldest daughter Mattea no longer plays, she is attending The University of Texas at Austin, majoring in architecture, and she and her younger sister both draw. The father said he believes music was important for his children to learn. “We just thought that they should learn to play music — it’s always a good thing for young kids to not only enhance them talent-wise, but it can help develop their personality and it’s a form of training your brain in some sense,” he said. When he heard his children were creating an ensemble he was thrilled. “It’s a way for them to appreciate how music can help others,” he said. The two teamed up to create the core trio with friend Daniel Ma, who plays the cello.

YOUTH ENSEMBLE continued on page A8

Three Mount Sinai children began making music on the piano at a young age. Now their youth ensemble is making memories with residents across the North Shore. Playing at veteran homes and senior centers, the North Shore Youth Music Ensemble, created by brother and sister Claire and Joshua Cai, focuses on giving back to the community through the arts. “I know many people who do volunteer work, and I thought music would be a different thing to do,” Claire Cai said. “I feel happy when I play. It’s really nice to know that they appreciate our music and that they give us their time to play for them.” The 17-year-old learned the violin and the piano at the same time from her mother Dana, who teaches the violin and viola to young students at her home. Claire Cai said she switched her focus to solely the violin almost 10 years ago because she thought there would be more opportunities. One came knocking when she was accepted into the Juilliard Pre-College Division, which is for elementary through high school students who exhibit the talent, potential, and accomplishments to pursue a career in music. It’s a competitive program, yet the young talent only had to audition once. This month marks her fifth year in the program. She will graduate next year. “It’s really inspirational,” she said. “I get to meet a lot of people there and I learn a lot from the teachers. It’s a good thing to surround yourself with other people who come from all around the world with different talents.” Joshua Cai, 14, first learned the piano and violin, but after being rejected by the Juilliard program, switched to playing the viola. He was accepted into the school the following year.

Stony Brook reaches for stars, opens Center for Planetary Exploration by kevin redding Although some might not think of Suffolk County as an obvious hotbed of planetary exploration, it doesn’t take long to discover just how impactful the research and work conducted on Long Island has been on the growth of space science. Going back to the Apollo program in the early 1960s, the Grumman corporation was vital in landing astronauts on the moon by designing, assembling and testing the lunar module at its facility in Bethpage. Even closer to home, the founder of Stony Brook University’s Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Dr. Oliver Schaeffer, became the first person to date celestial objects. He confirmed that moon rocks brought back by Apollo astronauts were four billion years old. Now half a century later, Stony Brook University has once again cemented Long Island’s place in innovative planetary research. In 2014, Timothy Glotch, a professor in the department of geosciences, received a $5.5 million grant from NASA through their Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute program to support his research. The department obtained a 6,500-square-foot, worldclass facility consisting of three different labs. On Aug. 26, the public was invited to the official opening of Stony Brook’s Center for Planetary Exploration, where faculty members and students in the department gave a tour of their labs and showcased the inspiring work that has taken place so far. At the core of CPEX is the multi-institutional Remote, In Situ, and Synchrotron Studies for Science and Exploration Institute, one of the nine nodes of the NASA program. “We’re trying to pave the way for future human exploration of the solar system,” Glotch said. “Right now we are doing basic science; we are doing exploration activities that are going to get humans to Mars, back to the moon, and to the moons of Mars. That work is going on right here. We’re very proud of that.” He stressed the importance of the overall goal: to train the next generation of solar system explorers and scientists. “Just as Schaeffer put together a young and talented group of researchers, we now have an extraordinarily talented group of young researchers working in planetary science,” current Chair of the Department Dan Davis said. As for the three different labs, professor Joel Hurowitz runs the geochemistry lab, which includes a student-built test bed for the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry, which will fly on the Mars 2020 rover.

The PIXL is an X-ray microscope that looks at rock samples and builds maps of the elemental distribution in those samples. “From there, we can start to dig in and try to understand whether the environment that those rocks were deposited in were habitable,” Hurowitz said. “PIXL can detect things that are chemical biosignatures. We’re trying to place some constraints on whether or not there was ever life on Mars.” The lab is also conducting a series of experiments to determine the damaging effects of lunar dust inhalation by future astronauts. “What I do is I try to find minerals here on Earth that are similar to what’s found on the moon,” Donald Hendrix, a graduate student leading the research, said. “I grind them up into powders and determine what chemicals are made when they are exposed to fluid, because they can produce chemicals inside your lungs that can potentially cause a lot of damage and turn into lung cancer.” Through the research he’s conducting with his team, he’s trying to figure out where astronauts could go that won’t be quite as dangerous. Deanne Rogers runs the remote sensing facility, where faculty, students and postdoctoral researchers analyze various images and infrared data that come from Mars and the moon. Glotch’s spectroscopy lab is where students acquire infrared spectra of minerals and rocks for comparison to data collected by Mars and Moon orbiters. Within this lab is the Planetary and Asteroid Regolith Spectroscopy Environmental Chamber, used to re-create the conditions on the surface for accurate measurements. “I can make the moon on Earth, basically,” graduate student Katherine Shirley said. “This machine is special because we can make different environments in this. Eventually we’re going to get some attachments so we can simulate the Martian surface or asteroid surface.” The lab includes a small piece from Mars, which visitors were encouraged to hold. Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) presented the faculty with a proclamation from the county legislature to celebrate what this research means for the community, the university and the overall future of science. Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), who was once a student and employee at Stony Brook University, spoke about how much the department means to him. “I’m practically retired, but my heart is still here,” he said. “It’s a privilege now to help send resources in the direction of these extraordinary individuals who are literally writing the next chapter of our understanding of the universe and solar system.”

A 39-year-old man from Port Jefferson Station submitted fraudulent information regarding a crash in a 2002 Mitsubishi he was driving June 15 to National General Insurance Company, according to police. The fraudulent documents also included wrongfully obtained medical treatment records, police said. He was arrested Sept. 4 in Port Jefferson Station and charged with third-degree insurance fraud.

County and town take new steps to protect LI’s water By ReBecca anzel Long Island’s economic prosperity and quality of life are at risk from an unlikely source, but both the Suffolk County and Town of Brookhaven governments are taking steps to combat the issue. Bodies of water in the county face nitrogen pollution, which leads to harmful algae blooms and a decrease in shellfish population, among other environmental defects. Critically, nitrogen seeps into the Island’s groundwater, which is the region’s only source of drinking water. Fishing, tourism and boating are billiondollar industries in Suffolk County — approximately 60 percent of the Island’s economy is reliant on clean water. County property values are also tied to water clarity, according to a Stony Brook University report. Nitrogen enters ground and surface water from various sources of runoff, such as landscaping, agriculture and pet waste. But the largest contributor of nitrogen pollution is failing septic systems, which County Executive Steve Bellone (D) designated as “public water enemy No. 1.” Which is why Bellone signed into law last month a resolution that amended Suffolk County’s sanitary code to help protect the county’s aquifer and surface water by improving wastewater treatment technologies to combat nitrogen pollution as part of the county’s Reclaim Our Water initiative. “It doesn’t help our tourism industry, our quality of life or our ecosystems,” county Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) said of issues with the Island’s water. “Tackling the nitrogen problem, while not a sexy issue, is a very important one.” Hahn is chairwoman of the county’s Environment, Planning & Agriculture Committee. Town and county officials are tackling the problem by utilizing what Hahn called a “multipronged approach.” Brookhaven is working to track any issues with outfalls, where drains and sewers empty into local waters, and Suffolk County is employing alternative septic systems. Municipalities like Brookhaven are required by New York State to inspect each point where waste systems empty into a body of water and create a map of their location. It is part of a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit because, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation, storm sewers collect pollutants like bacteria, motor oil, fertilizer, heavy metals and litter, and deposit them directly into bodies of water.

Below: elected officials and environmental advocates gather at the home of Jim and Donna Minei, recipients of a Innovative and alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems through the Suffolk county Septic Demonstration Pilot Program. In addition to conducting the inspections of outfalls necessary to comply with the MS4 permit, the Town of Brookhaven conducts a DNA analysis of any outfall that has indications of impacting water quality. Since 2007, Brookhaven has spent more than $880,000 on this state requirement, Veronica King, the town’s stormwater manager, said. “You want to put your resources where it makes the most sense,” she said. “Instead of dumping millions of dollars into structural retrofits that don’t address the true problem, the DNA analysis helps us to prioritize and make educated and cost-effective decisions.” Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (CRocky Point) said Brookhaven contracts with Cornell Cooperative Extension because it maintains a DNA “library” of Long Island wildlife, which it uses to identify the source of any pathogens in collected stormwater. For instance, if the DNA tests conclude they came from pets, Brookhaven might conduct an educational campaign to remind residents to clean up after their furry friends. If the pathogens come from a human source, there might be an issue with a septic system. “This type of analysis could prove of great importance because any patterns identified as a result of this study can help determine what next steps can be taken to improve water quality where necessary,” Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said. Brookhaven has applied for a state grant

to help pay for these DNA tests and outfall inspections for the first time this year, because, King said, this is the first time New York State has offered a grant to cover the work. The DNA tests are important, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said, because they help to identify ways to decrease the amount of nitrogen seeping into groundwater. “The amount of nitrogen in the Magothy aquifer layer has increased over 200 percent in 13 years,” he said of one of the sub-layers that is most commonly tapped into in Suffolk, although not the deepest in the aquifer. “Cleaning up our waterways is not going to be done overnight — this is going to take a long time — but the waterways did not become polluted overnight.” Suffolk County launched its Septic Demonstration Program to install cesspool alternative systems in 2014, called Innovative and Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (known as I/A OWTS), on the property of participants. Manufacturers of the technology donated the systems and installed them at no cost to the homeowner. The county’s goal in testing these alternative systems is to lower the levels of nitrogen seeping into groundwater. According to a June 2016 Stony Brook University report, “the approximately 360,000 septic tank/leaching systems and cesspools that serve 74 percent of homes across Suffolk County have caused the concentrations of nitrogen in groundwater to rise by 50 percent since 1985.” More than 10,000 of the nitrogen-reducing systems are installed in New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts and Rhode Island — all areas with similar environmental concerns to Suffolk County — according to the county executive’s office. County employees met with officials from these states to help shape its program. The I/A OWTS installations worked out so well during a demonstration program that on July 26, the county passed a resolution to allow the Department of Health Services to regulate their use. Typical cesspools are estimated to cost between $5,000 and $7,000 to install. The low nitrogen systems cost between $12,000 and $20,000, Hahn said. She added that as more areas facing similar environmental concerns

require lower nitrogen standards and, as the technology improves, the cost of cesspool alternatives will go down. Until then, Hahn said county officials have been discussing the possibility of subsidizing the cost of installing the I/A OWTS. It might begin requiring new homes to install low-nitrogen systems instead of traditional cesspools. Or, upon an old system’s failure, it might require an I/A OWTS be installed. “We hope to eventually be able to help in some way,” she said. County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said she hopes local businesses begin producing the alternative systems that the county determines best work for the area since it would “keep the economic dollar here” and provide jobs. In January, Brookhaven will be the first town, Romaine said, that will begin mandating new constructions within 500 feet of any waterway to install an alternative wastewater treatment system. “I think alternative systems work,” he said. “In many ways, even though we’re a local government, we are on the cutting edge — Kara Hahn of clean water technologies.” Both the initiatives by Brookhaven and Suffolk County “go hand and glove,” George Hoffman, of the Setauket Harbor Task Force, said. Many of Suffolk’s harbors and bays are struggling due to stormwater and nitrogen pollution, including Great South Bay, Lake Ronkonkoma, Northport Harbor, Forge River, Port Jefferson Harbor, Mount Sinai Harbor and Peconic River/ Peconic Bay. “Living on an island on top of our water supply and with thousands of homes along the shores of our harbors and bays, it never made sense to allow cesspools to proliferate,” he said. The success of the initiatives, though, depends on residents. “The public needs to be always recognizing that whatever we do on land here on Long Island and in Suffolk County affects not only the drinking water beneath us but the quality of our bays and waterways, streams and rivers all around us,” Hahn said. “It’s critically important that folks have that understanding. Everything we do on land affects our water here on the Island.”

‘Tackling the nitrogen problem, while not a sexy issue, is a very important one.’

U.S. Sen. to wireless service providers: fix LI dead zones By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Frustrating dropped calls, undelivered text messages and slow-loading webpages may soon be a thing of the past on Long Island if one U.S. Senator has anything to say about it. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) submitted a list to wireless carriers of more than 200 cellular service dead zones on Long Island Aug. 25. Long Island residents identified areas where frequent lapses in service occur and reported them to Schumer’s website over the course of several months. Helme Avenue in Miller Place, Whiskey Road in Ridge, Shore Road in Mount Sinai, Hilltop Drive in Sound Beach, Brightview Drive in Rocky Point and Northside Road in Wading River were among the locations residents pegged for spotty service, according to a press release from Schumer’s office. “When it comes to cell service on Long Island, these dead zones are proof carriers need to — quite frankly — raise the bar,” Schumer said in a statement. “A heavily populated region like Long Island shouldn’t be home to over 200 dead zones. Just a stone’s throw away from New York City and home to several universities, thousands of businesses and more, Long Island’s cellphone coverage must remain uninterrupted. Now that Long Islanders have submitted critical dead zone locations to my office, our wireless carries must

At the most recent event, the ensemble also performed — Joshua Cai a more contemporary piece to close out the performance — “You Raise Me Up,” which was made popular by Josh Groban. Michele Posillico, the manager for the senior center, said she loves when the ensemble comes to perform. Their playing was “magnificent, over the top,” she said. “The parents’ hearts must be so full of joy to see their children play like that. It’s just remarkable. The seniors enjoy it. What this group of players from the younger generation is doing, their accomplishments, it fills their heart with happiness and love and pride. I just loved it — it brings tears to my eyes how they play.” Yong Cai agreed, and added that he gets overly excited watching his children play. “I take videos all the time,” he said with a laugh. “I go to all of their concerts when I can make it.

quests for comment regarding Schumer’s list. Andrew Testa, a public relations manager for Verizon Wireless’ northeast market, deferred questions regarding the Senator’s list of dead zones to international nonprofit CTIA — The Wireless Association, who has represented the wireless communications industry since 1984. CTIA spokeswoman Amy Storey declined to comment on behalf of any of their members, which include Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. One company addressed Schumer’s concerns. “Sprint is committed to making sure Sprint customers have a great experience on our network and we’re investing to improve our coverage and reliability on Long Island,” company spokeswoman Adrienne Norton said in an email Aug. 26. “We share Senator Schumer’s goal of better service for Sprint customers and look forward to working with him to enact legislation that will reduce barriers to network deployment.” Norton added that more Sprint cell sites, or towers, should be expected on Long Island in the next nine months, which should improve service. Schumer said lapses in cellphone coverage could create dangerous situations if GPS technology fails, and could deter business owners from setting up shop or tourists from visiting Long Island if problems persist. He called on wireless companies to come up with solutions to alleviate the issues.

Veterans kayak across the Sound for a cause By ColM AsHe There are more convenient ways to travel from Connecticut to Port Jefferson than across the Long Island Sound on a kayak, but taking the easy way is not an option for two Army veterans. Chris Levi and Frank Lombardi kayaked from Bridgeport, Connecticut, to Port Jefferson Aug. 27 in an effort to raise money and awareness for veterans suffering from mental health issues. The 22-mile trip took more than six hours to complete. “It was a long day,” Lombardi said with a laugh. The distance between Bridgeport and Port Jefferson is less than 22 miles, but the pair traveled the extra mileage because of the number’s significance. According to 22Kill, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about veteran suicide and post traumatic stress disorder, 22 veterans commit suicide every day on average. Many of these suicides are directly related to PTSDinduced stress and depression, according to the organization’s website. Lombardi said he was horrified by the statistic and is motivated to change it. “If we can give hope to just one veteran and prevent them from taking their own lives, we will consider the trip a huge success,” he said. 22Kill, along with four other regional and national nonprofit organizations collaborated to make the event happen. Among the team of organizations was the War Writers Campaign, a publishing company on a mission to get veteran stories published. Levi and Lombardi raised $5,000 for their campaign by enlisting the help of local busi-

nesses like Southampton-based pool and environmental company the Tortorella Group. “We called John [Tortorella, owner of the Tortorella Group] asking for a $500 donation,” Lombardi said. “He heard what we were doing and gave us $1,000.” Time Capital donated another $1,000 and sponsored a kayak for the event. Alex Rohman, a partner of Time Capital, is an active supporter of the War Writers Campaign. He also recruited Levi and Lombardi for the kayak trip. “I called Chris and Frank to see if they would be interested in supporting the trip and they immediately agreed,” Rohman said. “Within one day, they wanted to do more to not only support the War Writers Campaign, but wanted to expand the level of awareness to other organizations as well.” Levi and Lombardi then reached out to other local businesses and organizations to further the cause. Angela’s House, W.B. Mason, Terranova Landscaping, the IGHL Foundation and the Ann Liguori Foundation contributed the remaining donations to the War Writers Campaign. “Both Chris and Frank represent unconditional support for all veterans and have dedicated their lives to help those who are less fortunate,” Rohman said. “They are true American heroes whose strength and perseverance can provide hope for the many veterans who need support to pick themselves up and show the world that they can do amazing things.” Beyond the War Writers Campaign and the event, Levi and Lombardi are both deeply involved in their own philanthropic pursuits. Lombardi is an executive for Independent Group Home Living Program, a group that provides alternatives for children and adults

He also serves on the National Advisory Board of World T.E.A.M Sports, an organization striving to bring together disabled and able-bodied citizens to participate in sports like mountain climbing, white-water rafting, bicycling and kayaking. Levi is a frequent participant in World T.E.A.M. events. As a disabled veteran himself, Levi has overcome adversity in a big way. In 2008, he was leading a convoy in Iraq when his Humvee was hit with rockets and IEDs. Levi lost both legs and took significant damage to his right hand and arm. He spent many years in numerous hospitals, but after countless surgeries and a difficult rehabilitation process, his spirit prevailed.

Since then, Levi has strived to become an inspiration in the lives of those who are suffering as an activist and an example. Levi’s goal during the 22-mile paddle across the Long Island Sound, was clear. He said he wanted to “show our fellow veterans that there is hope out there and with the right support, they can truly ‘Climb to Glory.’” This is also the motto of the Army’s 10th Mountain Division in which both Levi and Lombardi served. Lombardi believes the 10th Mountain Division’s motto represents “hope for all veterans who are suffering that they can climb out of the darkness and rise to achieve great things.”

Surgery center coming to Port Jeff; doctor calls it ‘win-win-win’ By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com North Shore residents in need of a surgical procedure will soon have a new, more convenient option that eliminates the need for extended hospital stays, long searches for parking and unnecessary treks through vast buildings. The New York State Department of Health approved plans for the Port Jefferson Ambulatory Surgery Center to be located on Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station at a meeting of the State’s Public Health and Health Planning Council Aug. 4. The project, which is estimated to cost nearly $10.6 million, will establish a freestanding outpatient facility for surgical procedures with six operating rooms. John T. Mather Memorial Hospital will own about a quarter of the center, with 19 individual physicians making up 70 percent of the ownership structure. Doctors involved in the plans, which go as far back as five years, are excited for the possibilities the center will bring. “There’s a massive need because it’s more comfortable for the patients, they’re less expensive to run [than full hospitals] and it’s less expensive for the hospital,” Port Jefferson-based orthopedic surgeon

An ambulatory surgery center in Port Jefferson station will allow Mather Hospital to open up space for patients in need of extended stays. Dr. Michael Fracchia said. He called the center a “win-win-win” because of the benefits it will create for patients, insurance companies and Mather Hospital. Sending patients with ailments treatable at another site out of the hospital will also allow Mather more space for those who require

Ambulatory surgery centers provide patients with a more comfortable environment with less risk of infections.

a hospital stay. Fracchia is serving as a treasurer for the project as well. The Port Jefferson Station center will handle procedures in ophthalmology, orthopedics, pain management, general surgery, neurosurgery and otolaryngology. “It’s a more comfortable, homey type of facility,” orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brian McGinley said. McGinley is the president of the Port Jefferson Station project. Both Mc-

Ginley and Fracchia stressed the improvement the facility will make in convenience and cost savings for patients. McGinley added that the center will be held to the same high standards that are associated with Mather Hospital. He said the centers tend to be cleaner than hospitals, with a far lower risk of infections like MRSA. Pinnacle III, a company based in Colorado that specializes in establishing ambulatory surgery centers nationwide, has assisted in developing more than 40 centers across the United States and will play a role in creating the Port Jefferson Station site. It will be the first Pinnacle III center in New York, and according to Pinnacle III President and CEO Robert Carrera, New York is one of the states with the greatest need for more surgery centers. Lisa Austin, the company’s vice president, estimated the cost of procedures to be about 33 percent less than at traditional hospitals. Carrera, Austin, Fracchia and McGinley all speculated that ambulatory surgery centers could be a wave of the future in health care, especially in New York. “Things have changed — you don’t see anyone building new hospitals,” Fracchia said. New York currently has 116 ambulatory surgery centers, though plans for more are popping up in addition to the Port Jefferson Station location. Fracchia said he anticipates ground being broken on the site within the next week or so, and the goal is for the doors to open by the winter of 2017.

Jonathan Berlin, second from left, smiles with other participants at a recent nassau suffolk Water commissioners’ association meeting.

North Shore resident takes closer look at cybersecurity threats By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Water commissions and cybersecurity threats may not sound like they have much in common, but to one Smithtown resident the two are intertwined. Jonathan Berlin recently spoke to water commissioners from districts in Nassau and Suffolk counties about measures that should be applied to the water supply industry and Long Island suppliers. “There has been a growing concern of cybersecurity threats in the last few years,” Berlin said in a phone interview. The Smithtown resident works as an information technology consultant for Total Technology Solutions, a computer service firm based on the North Shore. He said his goal is to bring a better sense of awareness to organizations of threats they face and help them limit their risk. “[Water commissions] are a target, and I do a lot of work with local governments,” Berlin said. He also said clients he has worked with have seen threats from Russia, China and more. “Some [hackers] just want to see what they can get through to,” he said. But other security breaches can access emails, contact lists, spread computer viruses and more. Cybersecurity is not just a local issue. According to news reports, a county in Nevada came under attack this past March for a breach, and in 2011, a city in Texas suffered as well. “Now that we see this is a risk, we need to put a plan into place,” Berlin said. President Barack Obama (D) announced a Cybersecurity National Action Plan in February to take a series of shortterm and long-term actions to improve our nation’s cybersecurity posture. “America’s economic prosperity, national

‘Our critical infrastructure continues to be at risk from threats in cyberspace, and our economy is harmed by the theft of our intellectual property.’ — Barack Obama security, and our individual liberties depend on our commitment to securing cyberspace and maintaining an open, interoperable, secure, and reliable Internet,” Obama said in a White House press statement. “Our critical infrastructure continues to be at risk from threats in cyberspace, and our economy is harmed by the theft of our intellectual property. I believe if we address [threats] effectively, we can ensure that the internet remains an engine for economic growth and a platform for the free exchange of ideas.” The commission is made up of 12 individuals from the business and educational fields, and they are expected to make a presentation in December with recommendations to the nation for actions that can be taken over the next decade to strengthen cybersecurity in both the public and private sector. Berlin said he and his company try to penetrate their client’s websites when they are working to improve their cybersecurity and test how vulnerable the municipality is. According to the Department of Homeland Security, internet users should always be wary of clicking on links and opening attachments in emails. To keep a system safe, anti-virus software should always be up to date as well.

Lights of hope Continued from page A1 addicted to the drug get into recovery. Earlier that day, she said, she helped a young girl who lost her mother get into the Long Island Center for Recovery in Hampton Bays as well as three other young people get into a rehabilitation facility in Arizona. In starting Dan’s Foundation, Scofield “wanted mostly to help kids that sought treatment now — not 10 days from now,” she said. “In 20 minutes, they’re gone. You have a small window of opportunity to help them and you’ve got to do it when you can do it.” Scofield’s son David, 28, went through heroin recovery. His mom said her sons were best friends and they did everything togeth-

er, including using heroin. “I struggled with this disease for a long time,” he said to those who attended the Lights for Hope event. “I found a way to live sober. I found a different way to live my life.” Event attendees decorated white paper bags with the name of a loved one who died from heroin or who recovered from it, and a message. Toward the end of the evening, a candle was placed inside each bag, and they were arranged in a large circle around the cannon in the park. “We come together to celebrate the lives they lived, we’re celebrating the re— tracey Budd covery and we’re celebrating the people who are still struggling,” Tracey Budd, a Rocky Point resident and founder of North Shore Drug Awareness Advoctes, said. “We will never give up hope. Where there is life, there is hope.” Budd’s son Kevin died in September 2012 from a heroin overdose. Her daughter Breanna was also an addict, and has been drugfree since May 2014. She said the stigma of addiction has changed dramatically since 2008 at the height of her son’s struggle with heroin. There is now a community of families that support each other through a child’s struggle with addiction or an addict’s death. “It’s sad to say, but when you feel the hug of another mother who’s lost a child, even if you’ve never met, no words need to be spoken,” Budd said. “It’s a connection that we

He recently attended the funeral of a friend’s 24-year-old nephew. “Going to a kid’s funeral is the hardest thing, but unfortunately we do it all the time,” he said. “It’s so hard to do. Kids that age laying in a casket is awful.” Rhodus and his wife helped their daughter Amanda through her 13-year struggle with heroin. He said when they first tried to get her help, they took her to Mather Hospital, where they waited for a couple of hours

OpiniOn Editorial

Checking cell phone service — but not while driving

Letters to the editor

Bitter truth: it’s the price of our freedom

Stock photo

Public participation is essential to government Kudos to U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for working to improve the quality of life for Long Islanders. He recently submitted a list of more than 200 “dead zones” for cellphones on the Island to both the Federal Communications Commission and to wireless service providers and told them in no uncertain terms to get their act together. Long Island is a heavily populated area, and we deserve better coverage. Schumer gathered his list of problem spots with the help of folks who know where they are. He established a page on his Senate website specifically for reporting poor service areas and invited residents to provide the information. Many of us have our own mental catalog of places where our cell phones are useless, and we try to work around those dead zones. But what if we can’t work around them? What if something happens to us in a place where there is poor service? What if you need assistance right now but have no way of obtaining it? Sadly, we were not surprised when our requests for comments from the wireless carriers were mostly met with silence. Just last weekend, we needed access to the many storm bulletins and the latest news in order to decide if we should stay or evacuate as Tropical Storm Hermine threatened our shores. Our cell phones are no longer just fun accessories. They are necessities that keep us in touch and help to facilitate our lives. So we believe that Schumer is right. It’s not okay for carriers to just woo us with fabulous coverage claims. They must provide service everywhere we need it. While we think it’s terrific that 200 plus dead zones will hopefully be addressed by the service providers, it leaves us to wonder — what about all the others? As our editorial staff read over the list, we all thought of spots in our neighborhoods that weren’t on the list, but should be. But this is on us. We didn’t contribute to this poll. As helpful as Schumer’s plan is, it won’t solve the problem unless we too get involved. We’re sure President John F. Kennedy (D) had bigger problems in mind when he asked the country what it can do for its government. But it fits perfectly in local cases just like this. Our local government can only help us as much as we help it.

Letters …

We welcome your letters. They should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste. We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation. Email letters to desiree@tbrnewspapers.com or mail them to The Village Beacon Record, PO Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733.

And yet again Mr. Jim Soviero tries with Trumpian bluster and lead-footed sarcasm to defend what he cannot defend with facts or reason (Letters-Aug. 11, Terrorism — utopia vs. reality update). He continues to claim that “bloodthirstiness” makes ISIS as much an “existential threat” to the U.S. and Europe as was Nazi Germany; completely ignoring questions of scale, he conflates individual terrorists, ISIS terrorism in parts of Syria and Iraq, and continent-wide atrocities (murder of 6 million Jews, and 5-6 million non-Jewish Poles, Russians, and others). He implies we face the Apocalypse, and only extraordinary (“realistic”) measures, apparently including total war (military mobilization and suspension of “utopian” Constitutional and Geneva Convention restraints) against potential enemies among 1.5 billion Muslims, including US citizens, can save us. And he repeats the half-truth that federal district and appeals courts in New York ruled that “setting even a limit of seven bullets violated the Second Amendment.” He again fails to mention that the courts resoundingly validated the New York State ban on all semi-automatic weapons and a restriction to ten-bullet handgun magazines, saying these did not violate the Second Amendment; they also said, as I noted, that asking handgun own-

ers to charge ten-bullet magazines with only seven bullets was unreasonable and unenforceable. A half-truth is a whole lie. Bloodthirstiness comes in all sizes. The threat from Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan was indeed existential; they fielded more than ten million men and manufactured thousands of tanks, airplanes and warships,

conquering most of Europe and much of China and south Asia (hundreds of millions under their yoke), which did indeed require total mobilization (but not the illegal internment of thousands of Japanese-Americans). ISIS in Syria, with 20-30,000 soldiers and no industrial base (its tanks are captured, U.S.made) cannot carpet-bomb London, or torpedo U.S. ships, let alone invade Great Britain, Europe, or the U.S. It is a tough nut to crack because it is embedded in the civilian population, and

our allies (Turkey, Arabia, Qatar) and frenemies (President Assad of Syria and the Russians) have mixed motives and conflicting aims, but we see daily that ISIS is being pushed back on all sides, and is being defeated, whatever Mr. Soviero thinks. This will not prevent ISIS remnants from influencing some disaffected European and American citizens over the internet, but this must be fought legally, as we fight other native individual terrorists, with police and FBI, and international exchange of intelligence, and we have to expect some failures. At Charleston, Dylann Roof killed nine who welcomed him to prayer; in the 1995 Oklahoma City truck bombing, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols killed 168 dead and wounded 680; in Orlando, where the FBI already had Omar Mateen in its sights. The French and Belgian police recently caught a halfdozen escapees from the 2015-16 attacks. We accept a toll of 30,000 traffic deaths, and 150,000 lung cancer deaths, let alone 12,000 gun homicides, per year as the price of freedom to drive or smoke. It is the bitter truth that we have to accept 100-200 deaths from terrorists of all stripes as the price of the Constitution.

Arnold Wishnia Setauket

With Trump, a strong possibility for change I just finished reading The true meaning of sacrifice (Letters, Aug. 18). I have one question for your editorial board and a number for the Old Field writer of the verbose letter, William Schaefer. First for your paper: It clearly states in your Letters section that all letters should be no longer than 400 words. In the past, I have been chastised by your paper for both content and the length of some of my previous letters. So much so that I have not written within this venue out

of frustration and your obvious bias toward my political views. For Mr. Schaefer: This man has a long-standing history of verbose, left wing bias and ridicule toward the Republican agenda. His bias is considerable and is more than proven in his latest tirade against Donald Trump. Although I do not feel that Mr. Trump is the best possible candidate to run as our standard bearer, I find it so difficult to wonder how any fair minded person can support such, in my opinion, a dishonest and

fraudulent candidate as is Hillary Clinton. Without listing her numerous faults, which your writer ignores, if I were to list them here I would go well over your 400 word limit. Let’s just say this: With Hillary, you know exactly what you will get for at least four more years. At the very least, with Mr. Trump, there is a strong possibility you will get some necessary changes to “Make America Great Again.”

OpiniOn A time to remember when we came together

hen we need each other, we come together. That, as much as anything else, is the legacy of 9/11. Its 15th anniversary falls this Sunday. Every year, we in the news business and, indeed, in society, struggle to know how to remember that terrible day in 2001. Years ago, the editor in chief at the New York Daily News, where I was working, asked me when we should stop running the names of the people who By Daniel Dunaief died that day, when 9/11 should no longer be on the front page, and when we should respect the day but give it less coverage. I

D. None of the above

told him I couldn’t imagine that day. Those of us who knew people that died think about those people regularly, not just on an anniversary or at a memorial. They travel with us, the way others we’ve lost over the years do, in our hearts and in our minds. Those first few days and months after the attacks, people in New York stopped taking things for granted and saw the things we share with each other as a source of strength. This year, in particular, seems a good time not only to remember what makes us and this country great, but also a time to reflect on who we want to be and how we want to interact. We have two candidates for the White House who seem intent on acting like impetuous Greek gods, shooting weapons at each other and describing each other’s faults and weaknesses to us. Debate and disagreement are part of this country, just as they were in 1858, when Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas famously debated across

Illinois. And yet, despite their disagreements and their passion for office, they held each other in considerably higher esteem than the two unpopular candidates who now want to be president. How can the two parties that seem so intent on running in opposite directions today, and the two candidates who genuinely loathe each other, work together, come together, and inspire us when they are so obsessed with their animosity? This Sunday, and maybe even this week, we should remind them — and ourselves — about all the things we Americans felt and did on those days after 9/11. Certainly, we mourned those we’d lost and we wondered aloud about our enemies. But we also visited with each other, made calls to friends and family, checked on our neighbors, and offered support wherever and however we felt able. Some people donated to charities, while others gave blood, time or energy to helping the survivors and the

families of those who lost loved ones. Yes, we looked to protect ourselves and to understand who and what we were fighting, but we the people — the ones our government is supposed to protect, represent and reflect — became more patient in lines and became less upset over the little things. We looked out for each other. It’s easy to imagine a boogeyman everywhere we go. Generations of Americans have pictured and envisioned monsters from within and without our borders, intent on destroying our way of life. We can’t let fear and hatred dictate our actions. I don’t want to hear Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump shout about how unqualified each of them is for office. I want them to reflect a respect for all Americans, their opponents included, on this solemn day and during this solemn week. I don’t doubt that each of them loves America. Instead of telling us how they’ll be great leaders, demonstrate it to us by coming together.

Eliminating loneliness is as important as banning hunger Do you ever feel lonely? I’m not referring to an occasional time period when you might acutely feel alone. After awhile that loneliness passes as you get busy with making dinner or driving out purposefully to go food shopping. I’m talking about deep-seated, unremitting loneliness, where a person doesn’t leave his or her house most of the time and doesn’t think to call a friend. Perhaps the person is quite and has By Leah S. Dunaief elderly outlived friends. Or perhaps that person struggles with depression and keeps to himself or herself, exacerbating the loneliness. From what I have read lately, loneliness is not a good thing for one’s health. Indeed one of the recommendations for longevity is an active social circle. Whatever the

age, loners in our society come to be suspect. People need to socialize and interact, or so the thinking goes. There are statistics that correlate good health with a satisfying social life, particularly as we age. For some, this is easy. If a person is naturally outgoing, the fact that the world is filled with other people presents its own solution. One can get a part-time job, even if retired, and that usually brings along its own social structure, plus a few extra bucks. Sometimes part-time work isn’t so easy to find, but there are always groups that are grateful for a volunteer: hospitals, schools, churches, even businesses. We are forever running a classified ad asking for volunteers who might find it interesting and fun to work at a hometown newspaper, and we are seldom without someone, usually someone wonderful. Because we live on an island that has many colleges and universities, there are always academic opportunities to avail oneself of, like the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute — formerly known as the Round Table — at Stony Brook University. There are a great variety of courses,

including subjects one might have always wondered about but have been too busy to pursue. Another source of learning and information is the neighborhood library, many of which offer courses, from understanding opera to understanding computers, at a nominal fee. By enrolling in some interest group or subject, one is likely to meet others with the same interests and perhaps strike up a friendship. At the very least, one can become a little smarter or at least a bit more knowledgeable. That’s just a few social possibilities. But they require active seeking, and not everyone is blithely outgoing and comfortable in new situations. So what then? My husband was shy pretty much all his life, but he discovered a way for the world to reach out to him. When he wasn’t working, he loved to take pictures. Behind the camera, he could be bold and interact with anyone who might be doing something that interested him. We ran many of his photographs in the newspaper, and readers appreciated the sense of place that the pictures conveyed and also contacted him

with comments. Eventually he was even invited by an art gallery to put up an exhibit of some of his favorite photos. I don’t have to tell you how he loved that and appreciated the feedback from the viewers. Now granted, not everyone has a wife with a newspaper, but it is my experience that most hometown newspapers will eagerly accept photos if they are reasonably good — and free. Again, though, that sort of hobby takes a certain amount of initiative. Fortunately we live at a time when the need to reach out to those who may be struggling with loneliness has eventuated in a number of help groups, especially in Britain. There are centers in the U.K. manned by people, sometimes volunteers, who are there to lend a kind ear to those who call in to chat. The volunteers provide a valuable service in what has come to be seen as a public health issue. Sometimes these are trained and paid workers. Even fire brigades have been trained to recognize signs of isolation during their fire inspections. We should be sensitive to this most human need and do no less here.

Eagles blank Comsewogue By Desirée Keegan Desiree@TBrNewspapers.com A little wind and rain wasn’t enough to stop Rocky Point’s boys’ soccer team. As the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine pounded Long Island, the Eagles tore up the field, scoring two slippery goals in a 2-0 shutout victory over visiting Comsewogue. “They did well considering the weather,” Rocky Point head coach Joe Camarda said. “It was a back and forth game and we were fortunate enough to put the ball in the net.”

Despite Comsewogue setting the pace and controlling the time of possession in the first 40 minutes, Rocky Point junior forward Xavier Guey-Mock scored off a breakaway with 7:32 left in the half to give the Eagles the lead.
