North Shore lawmaker pushes drug stewardship plan Kara Hahn’s prescription medicine take-back proposal aims to enhance Long Island’s drinking water quality By Phil Corso

A two-tiered piece of legislation on the county level is looking to tackle some of Long Island’s most pressing issues, from the medicine counter to the waterways, all in one fell swoop. A proposal to establish a drug stewardship program throughout the county could potentially build upon existing drug take-back programs, playing off recent legislation enacted in Alameda County, California, and ultimately keep drugs out of our drinking water, lawmakers said. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) introduced the piece of legislation earlier this summer with hopes of providing residents with more convenient ways to get rid of their unused medicine before the county’s next general meeting in October. “This is a duel benefit,” Hahn said. “I’ve wanted to find a way to get pharmacies to be required to take back prescription drugs, and this doesn’t quite require that, but it could be an end result.” The local law proposal argued that while pharmaceuticals are essential to the treatment of illnesses and long-term con-

ditions, residents at large still do not dispose of them properly, running the risk of certain drugs ending up in public drinking water supplies and causing harm to the environment. And with Suffolk County sitting on top of a sole source aquifer, which provides residents with necessary drinking water, Hahn argued that protecting the aquifer was critical to the health and safety of Long Island as a whole. “The idea is to begin a discussion on this. Federal regulations have changed to allow pharmacies to take back certain drugs, but the state level has been dragging their feet on the local regulations in order to make this possible here,” Hahn said. “They can’t drag their feet any longer. All kinds of medicines are being found in our water when our health inspectors do their sampling. We have to find a way on both these fronts to control what is happening.” The legislator said she was playing off the recently passed law in California, which also established a drug product stewardship policy requiring manufacturers to design and fund collection programs for medications. Similar programs have also sprouted up in Canada, France, Spain and Portugal. A spokesman for Hahn said the bill

would essentially establish a manufacturer-administered pharmaceutical takeback program that would provide residents with convenient ways to safely and environmentally responsibly dispose of expired and unneeded medications. “This program, if adopted, will primarily impact and improve water quality rather than deal with drug abuse,” Seth Squicciarino, the spokesman, said. “However, it is reasonable to assume that if there are less unused, unneeded and

forgotten prescription drugs in medicine cabinets, it could reduce drug experimentation especially among first time users.” Currently, residents’ only course of action when looking to properly dispose of unused medicine is to bring their prescriptions to the 4th Precinct or 6th Precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department, which then dumps the drugs into an incinerator — which Hahn described as the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of drugs right now.

Boats bring in bucks for cancer research Port Jefferson Yacht Club hosted its sixth annual Village Cup Regatta on Saturday, raising funds for pancreatic cancer research through the Lustgarten Foundation and for John T. Mather Memorial Hospital’s palliative medicine program. The regatta pits the hospital and Port Jefferson Village against one another in a friendly competition for the Village Cup, a trophy which the hospital has now won two years in a row, following a village reign of three years. Participants raised about $64,000 for the cause through this year’s race, according to yacht club member Chuck Chiaramonte. The sum will be split between the Lustgarten Foundation and the palliative care program, which is focused on improving patients’ quality of life. Chiaramonte said over the six years of the regatta, the event has raised more than $300,000. The yacht club — formerly known as the Setauket Yacht Club — supplied the boats and captains for the event, which included a parade of boats, games and

face painting for children at the harborfront park, and a trophy presentation at the adjacent Village Center. Chiaramonte said the yacht club looks forward to the event every year. “It was really meant to just be a joyous occasion and share the love of the water and boating with our neighbors,” he said. — ElAnA GlowAtz

For the next two Saturdays, between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., information related to the ongoing, deadly heroin epidemic on Long Island will be distributed by the North Country Patriots. Literature covering facts on heroin and prescription opioids, advice for parents, prescription safety, and what students should know will be made available along the north eastern corner of Route 25A and North Country Road in

Setauket for as long as the materials last. Interested drivers, or passersby can receive the packet simply by asking. The Patriots encourage any motorists wishing to speak in more detail regarding this deadly crisis to safely park their cars and talk. There will be no judgments made. “What we’ve found over the last few years is that if you don’t know someone who’s life has been impacted by this scourge, you haven’t asked enough people,” said one spokesman with the group. “Too many kids are needlessly, tragically dying. A better-informed public can make a life-saving difference.”

Suffolk County moves to house homeless vets By Rohma aBBas

Suffolk County lawmakers have taken another step toward putting roofs over homeless veterans’ heads. On Sept. 9, the Suffolk County Legislature unanimously approved the transfer of eight tax-defaulted properties to nonprofit agencies that will, in turn, convert them into affordable rental housing for veterans who are homeless or seriously at risk of becoming homeless. The move is a significant component of Legislator Steve Stern’s (D) Housing our Homeless Heroes Act, a multipronged legislative package aimed at battling the war against veteran homelessness in Suffolk. Officials have said there are about 750 Long Island veterans who are either homeless or who are expected to be homeless by the end of 2015. Stern, who is chairman of the county’s Veterans and Seniors Committee, said the law is a worthy initiative and a way to truly give back to those who have served. “I’ve always said that we all need to do our part in serving those that have served us,” Stern said in a phone interview Friday. “But it can’t just be marching in a parade. It can’t just be waving a flag.” The nonprofits involved would foot the construction bill through possibly more than $10 million in state and federal grant funding available for such projects, Stern

said. Funding for the construction will be provided in part from the New York State Homeless Housing and Assistance Program and United States Department of Housing and Urban Development HOME Investment Partnerships Program. A total of 14 units of housing would be created among the eight properties that have been transferred, Stern said. Two parcels in Central Islip will be transferred to Concern for Independent Living Inc. for the construction of three single-family homes. Bay Shore-based United Veterans Beacon House Inc. has proposed to rehabilitate an existing home on a Copiague parcel and build a single-family unit on a Yaphank parcel. In addition, Association for Mental Health and Wellness is proposing to build a new four-bedroom house for three senior disabled veterans and a live-in house manager on two parcels in Mastic; rehabilitate a house in Riverhead for one veteran family; and build a new set of four, single-room occupancies for veterans on a parcel in Medford. “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 serviceconnected and post-service transition mental health challenges,” said Michael

Veterans in need of housing could benefit from a new initiative by suffolk County.

Stoltz, chief executive officer of the association, in a previous statement. “I thank Suffolk County for partnering with our organization to further assist us in supporting our veterans.” Stern’s hoping the first unit to be completed — the Copiague parcel — will be built within a year. “The timing is going to be very varied depending on the particular locations,” he said. Housing our Homeless Heroes doesn’t stop at just housing. At the same meeting, the Legislature approved Helping Our Veterans lane (HOV lane) legislation, sponsored by Legislator Tom Cilmi (REast Islip) and Stern. The legislation’s goal is to expedite veteran services within the county’s Department of Social Services. Stern said many times, veterans walk into the county’s DSS for services they

may typically need from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and they are “turned away.” He said it becomes a challenge to get them to come back to a government assistance office. The HOV lane legislation would pair veterans who are seeking services at DSS with a veteran services officer. Their requests would be fast-tracked when they walk into the department — regardless of whether they’re at the right office. “That’s very important here, because veterans, too many of them, face too many challenges and time becomes very important,” Stern said. Stern said he’s proud of the enactment of Housing our Homeless Heroes. “I have every reason to believe that it’s going to serve as model for the rest of the country,” he said.

Student-artists capture national attention

Ward Melville High School studentartists have already made their mark on the national stage this school year. A project created by Grace Zhang during her AP Studio 2D class last year was chosen for the cover art for “Portal of Vaal,” a book written by Andrew Daly, a 16-year-old North Carolina boy. The book is currently being sold on Amazon. Several films created by Zhang and

Henry DaCosta were selected for this year’s All-American Film Festival in New York City this October. DaCosta’s film, “Life Forms,” takes a look into the subconscious of a teenage boy questioning his place in society and the existential questions of life. Three of Zhang’s films were selected for feature in the festival. “Pretty Girls” is a documentary short about the narrow-minded ideals of

Asian beauty standards, “Rebirth” is an experimental dance short symbolizing a violent metamorphosis as one loses purity in the transition from childhood to adulthood, and “Suburban Artifice” is a love letter to suburbia in faded pastels. The All-American high school film festival received thousands of film submissions from 48 states and 17 countries, which were narrowed down to ap-

proximately 200 submissions that will be screened at the AMC Empire 25 Theater in Times Square. This year’s award ceremony and red-carpet event will take place in the historic King’s Theatre in Flatbush, Brooklyn, on Oct. 11 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Ward Melville High School’s 2015 yearbook also earned an All-American Honor Rating with four marks of distinction from the National Scholastic Press Association.

Local resident appointed to NYS Council

Carol Fenter, a resident of Jefferson’s Ferry Lifecare Retirement Community, was recently appointed by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) to serve on the New York State Continuing Care Retirement Community Council. The council was established under Article 46 of New York State Public Health Law to develop and enforce laws and regulations that govern the development and operation of continuing care retirement communities like Jefferson’s Ferry. The council has expansive power over continuing care retirement communities, including the approval or rejection of applications to establish and operate a CCRC, the enforcement of provisions of Article 46 and the coordination and oversight of operating CCRCs. Made up of representatives from the Attorney General’s Office, the Depart-

ment of Insurance, the Department of Health and the Office for the Aging, the council also includes eight public members, at least two of which must be continuing care retirement community residents. Public members of the council are appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate and serve a term of two years without compensation for their service. All council members have a demonstrated expertise or interest in CCRCs. The appointment process was extensive. Not only did Fenter undergo a criminal background investigation, but she was interviewed by Senator Kemp Hannon (RGarden City) before being confirmed by the entire Senate. To call Fenter a “doer” is, while true, an understatement. A resident of Jefferson’s Ferry for nearly 14 years, Fenter has con-

sistently been active within and outside the Jefferson’s Ferry community. She is chair of the Jefferson’s Ferry Foundation, which funds special improvement projects and provides financial assistance to residents in need, and chair of the Jefferson’s Ferry Residents Council. A former classroom teacher, Fenter teaches computer classes to her neighbors at Jefferson’s Ferry and serves as a welcome ambassador to new residents. She also directs the Jefferson’s Ferry chorus part time. “Carol Fenter will make a wonderful addition to the council,” Bob Caulfield, president and CEO of Jefferson’s Ferry, said. “She has made significant contributions to enhance the living experience here at Jefferson’s Ferry and in this position will be able to broaden her impact to bring positive changes to CCRCs throughout the state.”

HISTORY CLOSE AT HAND

Snippets show glimpse into Revolutionary Setauket by beverly C. Tyler

During the Revolutionary War, a newspaper was published in New York City for the purpose of providing both news and gossip to British troops and American Loyalists. If such a paper existed in Setauket during the war, it might very well be called Setauket’s Loyalist Gazette and contain the following snippets of news. Tavern keeper Austin Roe has been seen riding from Brooklyn to Setauket. It is such a long ride that he has been observed standing up in the saddle. He needs to be careful; he could fall off and break a leg. Anna Smith Strong is raising six children by herself on Little Neck, now called Seaton’s Neck, while her husband Selah is in Connecticut. He is known to have Patriot leanings so he is smart to stay away. We don’t need any Washington rabble here on Long Island. When, and if, he does come home, he will find his wife has been doing just fine as a good Loyalist with British officers in her home (St. George’s Manor). Abraham Woodhull is still a bachelor at age 28 in Setauket. At present [1778] he doesn’t seem to have any love interests at all. One wonders why he travels to New York City so often with Anna Smith

TBR

Strong, his first cousin’s wife. They are both avid Loyalists, quite strange for Presbyterians. Maybe we should keep an eye on them as well as on all Presbyterians. And why not! During the Battle of Setauket on Aug. 22, 1777, some of the Patriot troops had a bit of fun firing at the bell in the Anglican Caroline Church tower. The sound of the musket balls hitting the bell was quite loud. Let’s hope our Loyalist troops recover all of the lead bullets as they are now a bit short of ammunition. Get the lead out! Loyalist Colonel Richard Hewlett has not been seen in Setauket since the fort was closed in the autumn of 1777. In the spring of ‘77, his troops barricaded the grounds around the church, tearing up and breaking off gravestones to use on the barricade. Now Rev. Tallmadge is trying to clean up the church sanctuary where the British stabled their horses. At least there is plenty of manure for Rev. Tallmadge’s garden. Captain Caleb Brewster, a Continental Army officer, was noticed leaving Long Island’s shore near Setauket. He was obviously here with his whaleboat and crew to spy on British and Loyalist positions. Rumor has it that he has a number of Patriot

contacts in Setauket and Old Mans [present-day Mount Sinai], and we do know that he is related to the Woodhulls, Strongs and Smiths in the area. Vigilance is the byword! Benjamin Floyd, a vestryman at Caroline Church is a Loyalist lieutenant colonel and an all-around great guy. He is also now supervisor of the Town of Brookhaven [1777]. The town board is now solidly Loyalist. Floyd has been supplying vegetables and other farm products to all Setauket residents in need. Let’s hope they are all loyal Tories. Be careful Benjamin! What a guy! Richard Woodhull, father of Loyalist farmer Abraham Woodhull, was recently attacked and beaten in his home by British soldiers looking for Abraham, who they expected to find at home working on his farm. According to the British soldiers, they really don’t like any Americans; so beating up a defenseless old man because he wouldn’t tell them where his son was is really no big deal. A British foraging detail recently took all the cows, grain, hay, cordwood and tools from the farm of Setauket resident Jonathan Thompson and his son Samuel Thompson. The Thompsons had fled to Connecticut in 1776, following the glorious British victory at the Battle of Long

Patriots drop season opener to Lindenhurst Football

Lindenhurst . . . . . . . 28 Ward Melville . . . . . . 13 By Bill laNdON

The Ward Melville football team was able to stay within striking distance through two quarters of play in its season opener, but visiting Lindenhurst broke the game open in the second half to defeat the Patriots 2813 in League I gridiron action Friday night. After a slow start, the Bulldogs struck first three minutes into the second quarter when senior quarterback Ryan Hofmann connected with junior wide receiver Steven

Ramirez for the score, and with the extra point good, the team led 7-0. With just over a minute left in the half, Ward Melville senior quarterback Matthew O’Hea found junior wide receiver John Corpac, who turned the corner and flew down the right sideline to go the distance for the touchdown. It was a 61-yard pass play that put the Patriots on the scoreboard, but when the point after attempt pushed wide left, Ward Melville trailed 7-6. It became a game riddled with cramps and penalties, and the Patriots led the way in both categories. “You can’t let officiating determine a games [outcome], it’s got to be decided on the field by the players,” Ward Melville head coach Chris Boltrek said. “And unfortu-

nately, our guys didn’t do what we asked them to do [tonight].” The Hofmann–Ramirez tandem answered back on the last play of the half for another touchdown. After a failed point, the Bulldogs took a 13-6 lead into the halftime break. Boltrek said that going into the third quarter being one score down to the reigning county champions wasn’t a bad thing. “I thought we had a chance the entire time, but between penalties and cramped players, we don’t have the depth to pull that off,” he said. Lindenhurst looked to put the game away on the second play from scrimmage to open the second half, and it did. Senior running back Joe Barber pushed his way up the middle, breaking several tackles, and made his way 65 yards downfield for the score to put the Bulldogs out in front, 19-6. Junior quarterback Austin Perri scored next for the Bulldogs, as he plowed his way into the end zone for a two-point conversion, to help his team break out to a 21-6 lead. Ward Melville was unable to answer, and again fell victim to the Hofmann– Ramirez combination. The two paired up on a pass play and Lindenhurst took a commanding 28-6 advantage. Deep in their own territory, Ward Melville senior running back Nick Cervone provided the spark to make it a two-score game when he broke outside and cut to the middle of the field. After the dust settled, he went 81 yards for the score to trim the Ward Melville deficit, and sophomore kicker Joe LaRosa split the uprights to trail 28-13. The Bulldogs threatened again deep into

the Patriots’ territory but on a rare miscue, coughed up the ball as Ward Melville recovered the fumble on their own 15-yard line. With just under five minutes remaining in the game, the Patriots ran the hurry-up offense as O’Hea aired the ball out the rest of the way, but no open receiver could be found. “I thought we let it get away from us,” Boltrek said. “We’ve got to fix the mistakes, but it was great that we hung with the defending county champs.”

Task Force takes over Setauket on Saturday

Top two photos from Beverly Tyler, bottom photo from George Hoffman

Setauket Harbor Day took over the North Shore on Saturday. The free event was held at the Shore Road dock and beach and included live music, food, boat tours of the harbor, kayak and paddleboard demonstrations, marine environmental education and presentations about sea captains and boat builders from bygone eras. Setauket Harbor Task Force members plugged the festivities to inspire the community to join them in their

efforts to clean and preserve Setauket Harbor, co-founder George Hoffman said. In a phone interview last month, Hoffman said the group would need volunteers to help with ongoing water quality monitoring and seasonal beach cleanups. Hoffman also said Harbor Day was intended to increase recognition of how important the local coastline is to community life. — Phil Corso

Spencer: E-cigs trend poses dangers to children

File photo

John Feal speaks at an event advocating for first responders in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001.

Never means never

The definition of hero is a person who is admired, or idealized, for courage. And we can’t think of a more courageous act than stepping up and putting others first in the aftermath of a tragedy like the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack. When the dust had settled on that horrific day, elected leaders stood hand-in-hand with our first responders, whether they were firefighters, police officers or just volunteers. The narrative was that we would honor their sacrifices and do whatever it took to back them up, long after the debris was removed. And yet here we are, 14 years later, making them wait to see whether the government will have their backs when they need it most. Never forget, right? This week, Nesconset native John Feal headed to Washington, D.C., alongside other heroic first responders from across the Island, state and country to call on Congress to renew the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. Originally approved five years ago, the legislation helped provide health care and programs to more than 33,000 of our first responders and their families because of complications stemming from their efforts at Ground Zero. But that legislation is slated to expire next month, and it’s not clear whether it will be renewed. What happened to doing whatever it took to support our heroes? It is shameful to have this same discussion every few years, once legislation expires, because all that does is turn these people into political bargaining chips. To us, that doesn’t seem like a worthy reward for their sacrifices. It’s time to take permanent action so people like Feal and the many others who worked alongside him know that we will have their backs — because they had ours when we needed it most.

TO THE EDITOR: The increase in the use of ecigarettes among our youth concerns me as a father, a doctor and as a legislator. Accompanying this increase is a conception that ecigarettes are safe; this is a myth that, left unchecked, will prove to be a disservice to our youth. In April of this year, the CDC reported that e-cigarette use tripled among middle and high school students in a single year, surpassing every other tobacco product on the market, including traditional cigarettes. What are the consequences of this trend? Let’s be clear, e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which negatively affects developing adolescent brains. The teenage brain has higher levels of dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for regulating attention and impulse. Consumption of nicotine increases dopamine levels and makes the user vulnerable to engaging in risky behaviors, like becoming users of traditional cigarettes, among other things. Studies of youth have shown that non-smokers with previous exposure to e-cigarettes compared with those without exposure were more likely to report use of a combustible tobacco product. This is not speculation or opinion, but evidenced-based, scientific data. Let’s also consider that the delivery of formaldehyde through

Politics: show business for ugly people The following letter is in response to “Debate recap,” published in the Aug. 27 issue of the Village Times Herald. TO THE EDITOR: Bravo, Stephanie, for paying attention. Citizens should value the privilege of voting by familiarizing themselves with candidates of both parties. I watch Fox. I watch MSNBC. We all have our prejudices — I mean preferences. In these polarized times, it behooves us not to restrict ourselves to a

‘Stacking the cards against them with an environment that makes them vulnerable to using e-cigarettes is just not acceptable,’ the letter writer states.

e-cigarettes is nearly 5 times greater than that of conventional cigarettes. Commonly used as a fungicide, germicide, disinfectant and preservative in mortuaries, formaldehyde has been classified as a human carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde can lead to cancer. There’s no reason on this earth that a young person should be exposed to this, yet sadly they are. I will continue to be a voice on this issue as it relates to our

youth. It is our responsibility to afford young people the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves. Stacking the cards against them with an environment that makes them vulnerable to using e-cigarettes is just not acceptable. I will explore all options available and work with parents to protect against the dangers of e-cigarettes.

few news outlets. Be grateful for Fox, the outlier in the media world. I watched the Republican debate and found it very entertaining, as did reportedly 24 million other people. Wow. The highest rated viewership for such an event — it set records. Now that’s participation. There are 16 contenders for the GOP. Fox narrowed the field to the top 10 participants on stage. What a diverse group and variety of backgrounds and talents. Pundits are calling this cast of characters a “deep bench.” Meanwhile, Democrats are trying hard not to have a coronation.

Tickets are available in advance through Sept. 18 for $20 by visiting www.gpjac.org/ ucafe.html; $25 (cash only) at the door. For more information, visit www.universitycafe.org of call 631-632-1093.

The academic angels of Back to School Night

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

he night starts off with the top dog standing in front of a packed auditorium, selling all of us on the idea that what our children are about to receive in the form of another year of education at their fine institution is a spectacular blend of academic learning, extracurricular opportunities, social growth and development, and personal inspiration.

Ah, can’t you just hear the academic angels singing? Somewhere in that magical evening known as Back to School Night, the principal and his or her vice-principal minions suggest how spectacular the teachers are, how magnificent the community is, how incredible the resources are and, most of all, how wonderful the parents are for being involved and coming to this Evening of Champions. These people who are in these top academic positions are often doctors, although they’re not the kind with stethoscopes and they don’t have a waiting room full of old copies of People magazine. They assure us that they’re people, too, and that they’ve been where we are. They know what it’s like to have someone they’ve brought into the world treat them as if they’re somewhere between an athlete’s foot fungus and a pimple surfacing on the tip of their nose just before the most

incredible moment of their lives. But, wait, there’s more. Their teachers tell us what they’ll learn, they smile, shake our hands — and assure us how excited they are to be sharing in this experience with our wonderful children. Wonderful? Seriously? We can only hope that’s the case when they’re in school because the “wonderful” has been squeezed out of them by hormones that turn their voices into violins with broken strings, by their tough-love coaches, and by their would-be girlfriends and boyfriends who have decided that today is perfect to send them a text saying, “Sorry, we can’t date anymore because I’m looking for someone better.” It’s almost like one of those old-fashioned sing-alongs, where we watch teachers with their Smart Boards at the front of the room, following the bouncing ball as it wows us with one after another of the stops on the journey to enlightenment.

For comic relief, we might get to hear from a teacher who seems about as comfortable speaking in public as I did when I was in seventh grade. He might look down at his feet as he talks, read from a script or take two huge gulps before each sentence. Speaking in front of a group of people, we realize quickly, is not exactly the ideal way to spend his day. As they talk, they tell us how much they love a subject that, truth be told, might not be their first choice. However, the nearest district hiring biology teachers is an hour away and our school desperately needs a language arts teacher. They implore us to share information about our kids. That’s when we reach into our sales bag and suggest how eager our children are to fill their minds with inspiration and information. We plaster an enthusiastic smile on our faces as we hand in our creative writing assignments. We emerge from the school,

ready to take all that sales energy and turn ourselves into cheerleaders for education and our children. “Oh, honey, I met your science teacher last night and she seemed so spectacular.” “That’s interesting, Dad, because my science teacher is a man.” “Wait, are you joking?” The children share a devilish smile, pick up their heavy backpacks and trudge off to a place where the sounds in the real world corridors — real and in their own heads — are often nothing like a chorus of those academic angels.
