H’ton Station sewer district to be reworked in revitalization effort

153092

By Victoria Espinoza Victoria@tBrnEwspapErs.com The effort to revitalize Huntington Station got out of the gutter this week, as Suffolk County approved $1.25 million to study the possibility of extending the Southwest Sewer District to cover part of Huntington Station, which would help push the area’s plan along.

Local officials, community residents, and organizations have been collaborating to improve Huntington Station and bring new life to the area.

The lack of sewers is one of the areas desperately in need of improvement to make revitalization possible, as the land north of the Long Island Rail Road train tracks in Huntington Station is served by the town’s sewer district, but the south side is not, which limits development and economic opportunities.

Suffolk County Legislator Steve Stern (D-Huntington) said he was pleased with this development at a press conference Jan. 9 at the Huntington Opportunity Resource Center.

“This funding marks an important first step in the long-awaited revitalization of Huntington Station,” he said at the event.

“Sewer infrastructure is important not only for economic development, but also to support small businesses, expand opportunity and improve the quality of life for all of Huntington. It is also critical to preserving our environment and protecting water quality.”

The fund will include a comprehensive report with an engineering and design plan to add sewer coverage along New York Avenue south of the train station by hooking up to the county’s Southwest Sewer District.

Town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) said reconfiguring the sewer lines is crucial to

the success of Huntington Station.

“As we continue to build momentum in Huntington Station’s revitalization, it is important that we identify and address possible impediments,” he said. “The lack of sewers … is one of those impediments, and this grant will start the ball rolling toward solving the issue.”

The resolution was originally sponsored

by County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport).

“Investing in sewers is the foundation of advancing the revitalization and will open the door to a bright future for the community,” he said. “With engaged partners in the town and community moving this forward, the sewers will enable Huntington Station to once again reclaim our strong sense of place and become an attractive downtown.”

According to the Town, the investment is the roadmap for the larger $20 million project included in the 2017 capital budget for the construction of sewers in subsequent years. The project is expected to lift the local economy, provide new housing opportunities, create jobs and increase property values.

Andrea Bonilla, community liaison for Source the Station, a group working to ensure the future of Huntington Station’s downtown is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, echoed the importance of this fund.

“Source the Station has been collaborating and working with the Huntington Station community for over four years,” she said. “We understand the importance of sewers for a sustainable revitalization of our community, and are excited to see this component come to fruition as we all continue to strive for a better future for all Huntington Station stakeholders.”

Halesite firefighter creates anti-drug program Dom Spada wants to stop the trend after responding to multiple overdose calls

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com After responding to calls for drug overdose after drug overdose, one Halesite Fire Department firefighter said enough is enough.

Second Assistant Fire Chief Dom Spada said he got sick of going on overdose calls and wanted to do more — so he created a drug prevention and education program called Be Smart, Don’t Start: A Drug and Alcohol Free Lifestyle.

Spada, who is also deputy mayor and police commissioner of Huntington Bay, said one drug overdose call in particular was the catalyst for the program.

“I went on a call on Thanksgiving morning, and there was a 19-year-old girl dead,” he said in a phone interview. “Something compelled me to go to the wake. So I did and I chatted with her mom, who told me this had been a long road for the family, since the girl had started using in sixth grade. That blew me away.”

Spada said it hit him especially hard because he has two young children. He created Be Smart, Don’t Start, where he speaks to sixth-, seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders about the dangers of using drugs, and how they can stay safe.

“I describe the calls I go on, and it can get pretty graphic,” he said. “We also talk about the reasons why kids turn to drugs; peer pressure, bullying, problems at home.

I’ve heard it all.”

Spada said he utilizes role-playing scenarios with the kids.

“I give them a script and examples on

above, Dom spada speaks to kids at the fire house in Halesite; bottom left, spada smiles in his firefighter gear. how kids can get out of situations like if someone is pressuring them to try drugs,” he said. Spada is also a lacrosse coach, and some of his coaching experience spills into the course as well.

“I tell the kids, look at athletes; they hate to talk to the media, and whenever they’re asked questions they pretend to take a phone call,” he said. “I tell the kids they can do the same thing as a way to take themselves out of a situation they don’t want to be in.”

The firefighter said he also talks with parents about creating lines to use with their children if they need to be picked up from a party or place where they no longer feel comfortable. “You got to have a plan, just like going into a fire,” he said.

Aside from Spada’s presentation, he said he also brings a member of the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence to speak with the kids, as well as a parent who has lost a child to a drug overdose, and Chris Jack, Huntington Bay police chief, to talk to the kids about the

legal ramifications of drug use.

“This was kind of put together on a whim, but we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback,” Jack said in a phone interview.

Jack said Spada approached him to get involved. “This is important, you see the headlines everyday,” Jack said. “As a cop, you get desensitized to a lot of things, but when you see 12- and 13-year-olds hooked on heroin, you never get desensitized to that.”

The police chief said he can see the look of shock in kid’s eyes when he explains to them all the effects drunk driving and drug abuse can have on their life, including how it effects their record, getting a job, applying for college and more. Spada said the cost of installing a Breathalyzer in a car and court fees helps scare the kids straight.

Huntington school district Superintendent Jim Polansky has attended the program and said he sees it as a valuable resource for students and parents alike, and appreciates all the work Spada and the fire department does.

“Community partnerships are important, particularly when it comes to such critical issues as drug awareness and prevention,” he said in an email. “The presentation is very direct and speaks to specific experiences that certain families and agencies have had with addiction. What it makes very clear is that the issue crosses demographics and neighborhoods; it can appear anywhere and often in situations where it is least expected. This can be eye-opening for some, but a very important message to convey.”

Polasnky also said he appreciates the course being offered on a continuous basis. “The messages cannot be shared enough,” he said.

Currently the program is held at the Halesite Fire Department, but Spada said community groups and schools have reached out to see if he could bring the program to them. The next two programs dates are set for Wednesday, Jan. 25, at the Halesite Fire Department at 7 p.m. and Wednesday, Feb. 1, at Huntington Manor Fire Department.

SCPD: 2016 safest year on record

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com “We are now safer than we have ever been before in Suffolk County and that’s because of the hard work of the men and women of the Suffolk County Police Department,” Police Commissioner Tim Sini announced recently.

Sini reported on the final 2016 crime statistics at SCPD Headquarters Jan. 6, which showed the county ended the year with the lowest levels of crime ever recorded in the history of the department — with the exception of homicides.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) joined the commissioner in presenting the historic crime drop.

“Public safety is my top priority,” Bellone said. “I know I speak for everyone in Suffolk County when I say we are proud of the police, proud of the work they do every day for us, proud of the courage and bravery they demonstrate and proud that they’ve clearly made the county one of the safest places to live anywhere in our country. These statistics speak very clearly about the work they’ve been doing.”

According to Sini, who just wrapped up his first year as the youngest SCPD commissioner ever appointed, compared to crime stats in 2015, violent crime (rape, robbery and aggravated assault) decreased by 10.9 percent and property crime went down 5.2 percent, with an overall 5.7 percent reduction of total crime.

“We see the crime going down and enforcement going up and that’s, obviously, not an accident,” Sini said. “We are a problem-solving police department. When [we] came into office here, my leadership team and I made it clear we’re going to be focused on opiate addiction, firearms and gang violence, as well as traffic fatalities.”

Under Sini’s leadership, the SCPD launched several initiatives and utilized 21st century policing methodologies that gave way to precision policing, intelligence-led policing and community-based

policing.

In tackling the opiate epidemic sweeping Suffolk the last few years, Sini reengaged a partnership with federal law enforcement officers, including five detectives, to target high-level drug dealers active in the communities.

He also loaded up on staff in the department’s narcotics section to roll out a hotline (631-852-NARC) where residents can anonymously report drug dealings going in areas where they live and even get cash rewards for any tips that lead to arrests. So far, since launching the hotline, the department has received more than 1,300 tips from anonymous civilians.

In a previous interview with TBR News Media, Sini said the hotline has led to a 140 percent increase in the amount of search warrants issued by August; 400 drug dealers have been arrested; the police department has seized more than $1 million in drug money; and is on pace to confiscate more illegal firearms than ever before.

Additionally, SCPD has saved approximately 779 individuals using Narcan, the anti-opiate overdose antidote.

Narcotics search warrants alone have increased by 118.2 percent — 192 in 2016 compared to 88 in 2015.

Deemed worthwhile, state gives North Shore Blueway a green light

By Donna newman donna@tbrnewspapers.com

Photo from Legislator Kara Hahn’s office

Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn discusses potential blueway trail routes and attractions with Suffolk County Parks Commissioner Philip Berdolt in September.

152890

Just in time for the holidays, Suffolk County has received a gift that will keep on giving.

Suffolk is slated to receive funding through New York State’s Regional Economic Development Councils for the creation of a countywide Blueway Trail.

According to the National Park Service, a blueway trail is a water path that provides recreational boating opportunities along a river, lake, canal or coastline.

The application submitted by the county earlier this year was based upon a recreational water trail plan Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) was developing for her North Shore district.

When Hahn took up paddle boarding about three years ago, she said it was a transformational experience.

“I was so excited to get a whole new perspective of our community,” she said, adding that although she grew up in the area, she only recently discovered water sports that provide a view of the shore.

Reading an article about an established trail in Nassau County gave her the impetus to get a working group together, she said.

After evaluating the economic benefits and increased tourism a more comprehensive blueway trail would bring to the region, the preliminary plan was expanded to include all of Suffolk.

In June, Hahn sponsored bi-partisan legislation authorizing the county to pursue state funding, which resulted in the awarding of a $60,000 grant. She is hoping the seed money will give the county access to other grant funding.

“For generations, Long Island has attracted visitors from around the globe and international acclaim because of its shoreline of world class beaches,” she said. “However, as more and more tourists seek out off-shore recreational activities like canoeing, windsurfing and stand-up water paddling, there’s no reason why Suffolk County’s lure should end at the water’s edge. Once completed, this project will help drive new opportunities for regional tourism and serve as a catalyst to the local economy as our residents — and those vacationing here — discover Suffolk is amazing both on and off shore.”

According to the proposal, during its first phase, Suffolk County — in collaboration with its towns, villages and paddling organizations — will develop a blueway trail plan for the north and south shores as well as the Peconic Estuary in Riverhead. A schematic design of the trail route will include potential launch and landing locations, and there will be signage drafted and project identification for public access and facilities — an implementation plan will complete this phase.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) sees the project as an economic win.

“The funding for the blueway trail plan is a significant breakthrough for Suffolk’s local economy and its regional tourism industry,” he said.

Kristen Jarnagin, formerly of the Long Island Convention and Visitors Bureau in Hauppauge, and now president and CEO of Discover Long Island, a marketing website that facilitates the booking of vacation plans, envisions an increase in tourism.

“Tourism is a $5.5 billion industry on Long Island, which translates to more than $356 million in local and state tax revenues for Suffolk County,” she said. “We applaud Legislator Hahn’s effort to develop the new Blueway Trail that reflects the beauty of our destination and will assist in meeting the demand of our 9.1 million annual visitors.”

Jarnagin is one of many supporting the project.

Long Island Paddlers, Inc. President Steve Berner echoed her sentiments.

“The Suffolk Blueway Trail will be a real benefit to prospective, novice and experienced kayakers alike,” Berner said. “The Long Island Paddlers commend legislator Hahn for spearheading the effort, and New York State for recognizing the economic potential of such a plan.”

George Hoffman, a founder of the Setauket Harbor Task Force, said he doesn’t forsee any downsides to the plan.

“It gets you out on the water,” he said in a phone interview, “and in addition to the environmental aspects, you get to see colonial history from a different vantage point. There should be markers to flag what you’re looking at.”

He mentioned the Nassau County south shore blueway trail that opened last June.

Ann Strong, of Strong’s Neck, who is on the board of Strong’s Neck Civic Association, is a member of the Three Village Historical Society and is a real estate broker whose family has been in the Setauket area for over 350 years, said she thought it seemed like a good thing for a lot of people.

“I can’t see it would be anything but favorable,” she said, adding that she looks forward to learning more about it. Upon hearing that Hahn was the prime mover of the project, she said she felt heartened that it would be done well.

A total of 10 Regional Councils were established by the state — including the Long Island Regional Council — to assist the regions in jumpstarting their economies. The Councils empower businesses and leaders, as well as citizens to develop strategic plans tailored to their region’s unique strengths and resources.

During the most recent round of funding, the Long Island Region awarded $62 million in grants to support 101 projects, which includes the Suffolk County Blueway Trail Plan.

This has also proved effective.

Suffolk has seen a decrease in motor vehicle crashes by 2.5 percent, motor vehicle crashes resulting in fatalities by 29.9 percent and pedestrian fatalities by 29.4 percent.

SCPD Chief Stuart Cameron said the reality of Suffolk today in regards to safety has long been dreamed about.

“Throughout my 33 years with SCPD, I’ve heard people wistfully referring to the olden days of yore where you could leave your doors unlocked and things were much safer ... as statistics bear out, we’re living in those times right now,” the chief said. “Not that I’m encouraging anybody to leave their doors unlocked, but crime stats have truly never been better. And without the public, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve these results.”

While homicides have risen, with 34 recorded in 2016 compared to 25

in 2015, Sini said that number can be largely attributed to heavy MS13 gang activity in areas like Brentwood, for which aggressive strategies have been enforced by Sini to “decimate MS13 and these other gangs.”

“We collect intelligence of known gang members in the county, assign gang officers and gang enforcers to particular [communities], and we’ve seen a dramatic decline in crime and gang violence since the initiative,” he said.

Through Sini’s creation of what he calls the Firearms Suppression Team — a mix of officers and detectives who have worked to prevent gun-related violence — SCPD has had a 50.9 percent increase in illegal firearms seizures, 507 recovered in 2016 compared to 336 in 2015, as well as a 4.4 percent decrease in shooting incident and trigger pulls.

By taking away a criminal’s tool of the trade — firearms — the commissioner said “you can make a significant dent in violent crime.”

Despite the uptick in homicides, he said preventing them is a top priority.

“If you look at all the hamlets and overall crime reduction, we’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished but we’re not complacent,” Sini said. “One homicide is one too many and we’re going to keep doing what we have to do to ensure the safety of Suffolk County residents.”

Night of fun brings together kids, local police

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Officers within the Suffolk County Police Department replaced their handguns and black shoes with Nerf blasters and orange “sky socks” Jan. 4 for a night of bouncy Nerf battles with local kids at Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Mount Sinai.

When the officers and kids weren’t crouched behind inflatable bunkers dodging foam darts, together they dodged balls in “dodge-a-cop” matches, shot basketballs and leaped into a giant pit full of foam cubes.

SCPD’s young friends were even invited to sit in the front and back seats of the patrol cars, were shown how to turn on the sirens and lights and were allowed to use the car’s PA speaker.

Donned Police Unity Night, the event will take place the first Wednesday of every month at 6 p.m. It started as a one-night dodgeball event over the summer by Sky Zone Director of Events Nicole Tumilowicz, as a way of showing support for SCPD and helping bridge the relationship between law enforcement and the people it serves.

It was such a big hit among the community, she said, she and her organization decided to host the event in collaboration with community liaison officers from the 3rd and 6th Precincts on a monthly basis in Mount Sinai. Events are also hosted with local police departments at the Sky Zone in Deer Park. Officers and their own children always jump for

free, and each month the event will feature food donations from a different local business.

For $20, families poured into the popular indoor park for two hours of fun, community camaraderie and food — Brooklyn Bagels & Cafe of Rocky Point served sandwiches, bagels and cookies.

“This is our way of giving back and really getting involved,” Tumilowicz said. “We want to get the community together, have fun, increase police relations and give our guests a chance to interact with [the SCPD] on a different level and see them in a different light.

It’s a win-win situation for everybody.”

Sixth Precinct Community Liaison Officer Casey Hines, a former social worker who frequently speaks on public safety at local school districts, and has partnered with Sky Zone in training its staff on what to do in dangerous situations, said it’s important to her that the public isn’t intimidated and guarded when it comes to interacting with the police.

She wants people to know their names and see them as people they can go to for help.

“When these kids have a problem or they have somebody bullying them or they just need somebody to talk to, I want them to feel they can say ‘you know, I’m gonna call Casey about this and see what she says,’” Hines said. “It’s wonderful to be able to have a rapport with the community in a positive environment.”

She’s also having fun.

“We’re jumping, and defenses are down [here],” she said. “The kids and parents know that we’re here to help them.”

Officer Todd Bradshaw, of the 6th Precinct’s Community Oriented Police Enforcement unit, echoed Hines’s feelings when reminiscing about the dodgeball event over the summer.

“I remember a few of the kids — one or two in particular — were really kind of nervous and taken aback by the fact that police were there playing dodgeball and bouncing with them,” he said. “But after a while, they saw us being goofy and loosening up, and then they felt comfortable smiling next to us and playing with us and then wailing dodgeballs at us. They realized we were approachable.”

Eufrasia Rodriguez, from Rocky Point, shared the Police Unity Night post on Facebook, and in doing so, wound up winning a free ticket for her son Justice, a 14-year-old boy with autism.

“I shared it because we have a charity called Justice 4 Autism and we figured this would be a great opportunity for kids to play with and meet the police,” Rodriguez said.

“Justice was so excited to come and meet the police and jump. On our way here we heard police sirens and he was like ‘is that them?’”

Her son was quick to run up and take a picture with 6th Precinct Crime Section Officer Anthony Napolitano at the entrance.

“They’re all a bunch of good kids,” said Napolitano. “This means a lot to them; so hopefully it keeps them off the streets and inside.”

Cameron Tyburski, a 12-year-old from Shoreham-Wading River Middle School, came to the event with some of his classmates.

“It’s great because there’s free food and I showed some of the cops how to do front

flips,” Tyburski said.

“I feel protected,” Amanda Lahey, 12, said.

Kelly Riess, 12, whose dad is a cop, said this was her second time at one of the events.

“It’s really fun, and it’s great to go around and meet the cops and all the families,” she said. “I think it’s a good idea to do this.”

To end the night, in Sky Zone’s largest trampoline-covered arena, Hines and fellow officer Jennifer Mackey led their team of kids into a full-fledged Nerf war against Napolitano and his own group. Bouncing back and forth between trampolines, taking cover and loading up on foam darts in between shots, Hines’s “red team” took the victory.

“You can’t walk out of here without a huge smile on your face and feel awesome, it’s just great,” Hines said. “There’s nothing like having these little kids running up to you and being like ‘I shot you’ or ‘you got me ... can you play again?’ It’s them just being real with us, and I love it.”

Writing in a winter wonderland Denise Sullivan’s second-graders at Washington Drive Primary School shared their original written works with family members during the school’s Winter Wonderland Literacy Celebration Dec. 22.

Dressed in formal attire, students kicked off the celebration with a performance of winter musical numbers, including “Let It Snow,” “Jingle Bells” and “Winter Wonder-

land,” accompanied by bell chimes.

Afterward, students shared the compositions that they had diligently worked on over the past six weeks during an in-class writer’s workshop. Each student presented a persuasive, a narrative and a poetry piece to his or her family member.

The celebration concluded with snacks and refreshments for all in attendance.

Northport High School’s Future Educators Association club members worked on no-sew blankets to donate to the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.

Students spread warmth at Northport Northport High School’s Future Educators Association club participated in a blanket-making party Dec. 20 where members created 10 no-sew blankets to donate to the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.

The club’s blanket-making party has

become an annual tradition. Members dressed in comfortable clothing and ate pizza while watching a video on how to properly create a no-sew blanket. They then worked together to cut and tie the fleece to transform it into a usable blanket.

In addition to creating blankets for those in need, the club also put together a special camouflage blanket for one of the member’s brothers, who is going through cancer treatment.

“Our goal is to service children and

families in the community,” said club adviser Antonette DiGiacomo. “The students are in this club because they love children and we try to select projects that service our local community as much as possible.”

Above, Kyree Johnson makes it to the finish line first. Below, Lawrence Leake sprints down the track.

Blue Devils win gold at Dartmouth Relays Kyree Johnson upset Sam Coleman of LaSalle Academy in Rhode Island to claim the 55-meter dash crown at the 48th annual Dartmouth Relays in Hanover, New Hampshire, last weekend.

Johnson sprinted the distance in 6.44 seconds, the third fastest time in New York this winter and one of the best performances in the country in the event.

The Huntington senior won a second gold medal when he ran the anchor leg of the Blue Devils’ 4×400-meter relay. Mark Rafuse, Lawrence Leake and Shane McGuire handled the earlier legs and Johnson took it from there.

Huntington nipped Danbury, Connecticut, at the finish line by 1/100th of a second. The Blue Devil time of 3:26.66 is the second fastest in New York this season. The event drew 27 teams.

“Success only comes from hard work and you can’t work hard without dedication and motivation,” said Johnson, who hopes to reach the state championships this winter in the 55, 300 and 4×400 relay.

The Blue Devils’ 1,600 sprint medley won a silver medal, recording the fourth fastest time in the United States this winter.

Jared Leake, Lawrence Leake, Johnson and McGuire finished second in a field of 35 relay teams spread across six states to win silver medals. Huntington finished 10/100ths of a second behind Trinity, New Hampshire.

The Blue Devils completed the race in 3:36.17, behind Trinity’s 3:36.07, giving it the third fastest time in the country this season.

The sprint medley relay features two legs of 200 meters, a 400 leg and an 800 leg.

In other action for Huntington, Lawrence Leake won a silver medal in the 300 dash, after being nipped by William Gagnon from Quebec City, Canada’s Shawinigan High

Heading out of high school Ten Harborfields students signed national letters of intent to play their sport on the collegiate level.

Kailey Broderick, Grace Zagaja, Mikayla Bergin and Grace Steinthal will all play lacrosse at Adelphi University, U.S. Naval Academy, West Point Military Academy and Manhatten College, respectively. On the men’s side, Ben Schwartz agreed to play for Molloy.

Joe Kelly signed to play for Amherst College’s football team, and Katie Hammer signed a letter of intent to play for Assumption College’s soccer team.

Elizabeth Larkin signed to take her track and field talents to the College of Holy Cross, Rachel Kuenzler agreed to swim for California State University East Bay and Brett Hebert will dive for Cornell University.

“You represent less than 1 percent of all high school seniors throughout the nation who are given the opportunity to play at the collegiate level,” Harborfield Ath-

letic Director John Valente said. “The fact that these educational and military institutions chose you over thousands of other student-athletes is a testament to your commitment, dedication, passion and love for the sport that you will compete in.”

Valente reminded the student-athletes to thank those who have supported them. “... Your family, teachers, coaches, administration and most of all, your teammates who challenged and pushed in order to make you a better athlete,” he said.

Principal Timothy Russo also congratulated the student-athletes.

“You are the leaders,” he said, “and role models in the school.”

Head girls’ lacrosse coach Keri McGinty offered advice.

“Be sure to have fun and enjoy the experience as a college athlete,” she said. “Never forget the proud memories of wearing the green and white of our Harborfields family.”

Keeping score School by 3/100ths of a second. The Huntington senior was clocked in 35.56 seconds. Blue Devils eighth-grader Anthony Joseph, in a time of 38.54 seconds, took 25th place in the event, which drew 91 competitors.

Rafuse took ninth place in the 400 run, in 54.42. The event included 44 entries.

Huntington’s 4×200 relay of Joseph, Jared Leake, KeiRon Byrams and Brian Pierre placed 14th in a field of 30 with a time of 1:38.52.

McGuire took 34th in a field of 81 in the 1,000 run with a time of 2:47.31.

Sam Bergman tied for 13th place in the seeded shot put with a throw of 43 feet, 8.50 inches. Bergman was 35th in weight throw with a toss of 40 feet, 8.75 inches.

Clay Jamison placed 14th in a field of 58 in the unseeded shot put with a throw of 41 feet, 7.50 inches.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin greets veterans.

Letters to the editor

File photo

Zeldin should have been considered for Veterans Affairs seat President-elect Donald Trump’s (R) cabinet appointments to this point have raised some eyebrows, but we had a perfect solution for one of the departments which was still in need of leadership as several selections begin the confirmation process this week.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) seemed like a no-brainer to serve as the secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Although Trump nominated David Shulkin, the current undersecretary for health of the VA, when he addressed the media Jan. 11, we think Zeldin’s name should be kept in mind for the position should any snags arise in Shulkin’s confirmation.

Trump has met with or considered about a dozen people to run the second-largest federal department, according to The Washington Post, prior to landing on Shulkin.

Although it has been proven to be one of the toughest segments of government to run and run well — with accountability, budget management issues and more plaguing the current administration — you don’t have to look far to see why Zeldin would have fit the bill.

Zedlin, a veteran himself, has been fighting to expand disabled veterans’ access to adult day health care in and away from home, even helping construct a new veterans health care clinic in Manorville. He also created the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer peer-to-peer support program to fight PTSD and veteran suicide rates, helping those who return from combat ill prepared to handle the physical and mental scarring. Zeldin was in strong support of the No Veterans Crisis Line Call Should Go Unanswered Act, which mandates that crisis center responders be available to answer a dedicated phone number 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

President Barack Obama (D) signed it into law in November, after the bill garnered unanimous support in the House.

In 2016 Suffolk County joined the ranks of only a few select regions in the U.S. to bring an “effective end” to veteran homelessness, according to the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, and Zeldin worked with many groups who helped achieve this status.

He’s a member of the Veterans’ Affairs and Foreign Affairs committees and continues to serve as a major in the Army Reserves.

Zeldin has also been a strong supporter of curbing the drug crisis plaguing the country. The congressman strongly endorsed the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, to combat Long Island’s heroin hitch, signed into law by President Obama this past summer. Zeldin is also a member of the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic.

All of these achievements were reached in Zeldin’s freshman term as a congressman, and we believe his input in this area should be valued going forward no matter who holds the cabinet position.

Zeldin supported Trump in the presidential campaign, and said he sides with the Republican on many issues in our in-house candidate debate; so it seems like a Trump decision to pick Zeldin would have been fitting. As for our editorial board, we saw it as not just fitting but a strong and wise choice.

Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci speaks at an event.

A look at Assemblyman Lupinacci’s 2017 plan As I begin my third term in the New York State Assembly, I would like to once again thank the residents of the 10th Assembly District for placing their faith in me as their representative.

It has been a true honor and privilege to serve you for the past four years, and I am enthused to get back to work. I believe 2017 is destined to be an exciting year as we address the many issues facing New York State. In the wake of such a bitter political cycle across our nation, it is now time to work together and take initiative to accomplish the many big goals we have for this legislative session.

Among the legislative proposals we intend to make a priority include: •Passing stricter ethics reform measures to hold elected officials accountable • Bringing Uber, Lyft and other ride-sharing services to all areas of New York •Fighting for affordable higher education •Expanding opportunities for career-targeted education while in high school •Implementing greater oversight and safeguards to ensure taxpayer-funded economic development programs are operating effectively

•Creating a registry of violent felony offenders by passing Brittany’s Law to help curb domestic violence I am confident and optimistic the 2017 Legislative Session will yield significant policies that will better our state as a whole. I look forward to working alongside my colleagues on both sides of the political aisle to achieve real results for the people of the 10th Assembly District, Long Island and New York State.

Keep the North Shore in mind with LIRR’s third track project The MTA recently released a draft Environmental Impact Statement on the LIRR’s proposed third track project. While much of the media attention has been focused on how the project will impact — and positively transform and beautify — communities in central Nassau, it is vital to remind Huntington, Northport and Smithtown readers and North Shore communities of how this will impact your lives and those of your loved ones and neighbors.

Our grassroots coalition of supporters (now representing 1 million Long Islanders) has worked to educate commuters on 17 LIRR platforms from Port Jefferson to Cold Spring Harbor on how the third track would

fundamentally change their daily commute. We all know someone that has been stuck on a platform in bad weather, late getting home because of delayed or canceled trains, or worst of all, stuck inside a train during an unforeseen event. All Long Islanders should be able to enjoy the same transit access that lies at the core of the history and quality of life of the corridor communities.

Today, we have gathered over 4,500 signatures from commuters urging the governor and the MTA to move the project forward. While support is growing, it is still vital that your voice is heard – for our commuters and for a regional economy that stands to grow

tremendously from infrastructure investments like this one.

In fact, this may be the most important public infrastructure investment on Long Island in a generation — and it needs your support.

There will be public hearings on Jan. 17, 18 and 19, giving you the chance to tell the MTA and the governor that the time to build a third track is NOW. For more information visit our website, or if you can’t make it in person, please sign on as a supporter online at http://www.righttrackforlongisland.com.

OpiniOn Seeking greatness through wins and losses

W

e the people are clearly a group as diverse as the sea to shining sea. At the same time that we have dry, magnificent landscapes in Bryce Canyon in Utah, where the orange and red rock columns sometimes look like stacked chess pieces, we also have Highway 1 in California, where the mountains and the sea come together, offering a winding view of an inspiring coastline.

These days, it seems there’s a great deal that separates us: the

We are an outraged nation that has turned in on itself. We are guaranteed the right to complain, to

question and to criticize anyone we choose, whether that’s our favorite football team or our national political leaders.

We seem so intent on defending ourselves that we go on the offensive before our many adversaries speak because the best defense is a good offense.

One of my favorite lines from the movie “Wedding Crashers” is, “Shut your mouth when you’re talking to me.”

We have reached a new level of frustration in our lives and with each other.

I hope the president-elect can deliver on his goal to Make America Great Again. However, I suspect, even the notion of greatness is something this diverse country would debate in the wee hours of the night, particularly on Twitter, which seems to be the shortcut equivalent of white papers.

Need a bottom-line analysis?

Go to Twitter, where, within a few words, leaders can attack, excoriate, vilify and lambast each other,

leaving the rest of us to wonder who won this war of words and whether the sense of optimism and hope that defined the founding of the country can return.

We don’t seem to win well or lose well these days. The hand wringing, fear and disappointment about the national election doesn’t and won’t change anything. Yet, each day, people seem to relive a loss they couldn’t imagine when they looked at those old, reliable polls. It’s real and not just reality TV: Donald Trump will be the president soon.

I’m not suggesting everyone line up with signs supporting a man who ran a campaign that selectively embraced everything from WikiLeaks to the National Enquirer.

No matter the outcome, this would have been an election in which half the divided nation expressed outrage. But, as I ask my children when they lose points on their tests: What did you learn?

What are the lessons you missed and how can you improve the next time?

Yes, I know pundits have offered

numerous explanations about divisions in the country that the coastline-centered media missed.

Is it possible to lose graciously while learning more about the process, the policies that matter and the messages people want to hear?

Outside the world of politics and inside the painted lines, professional athletes sometimes don’t react to losses well, punching walls and throwing tantrums.

At the end of youth sports games, where the energy and excitement of the parents are often at least as high as they are for the kids, the boys and girls line up, shake hands and congratulate each other on a “good game.”

As a part of that line, I’ve seen faces filled with elation and with tears. Most of the time, even in games won at the last second with a buzzer beater, the players acknowledge each other and recognize the excitement of a hard-fought battle. Perhaps, regardless of the outcome in tightly contested races, we can respect the battle, learn from it and come together.

Journalistic scoop takes luck and talent

P

erhaps it was the scoop of the last century, if not one of the most startling stories for any journalist to break. And it was largely dumb luck.

In the heart of every dedicated journalist, there beats the ambition to be the first, to author a truly important story that other journalists rush to cover. Being in the right place at the right time is the lucky part.

Understanding what is happenBy Leah S. Dunaief ing and communicating it to readers is the talent.

Clare Hollingworth, who died this week in Hong Kong at the age of 105, had both on Aug. 28, 1939. She had just been hired on Aug. 25 at the age of 27 as a war correspondent for the British newspaper, The Daily Telegraph.

She flew to Warsaw the next day.

Europeans knew that war was near, but the expectation was for later. Hollingworth had managed to get an official car from the British consul general there, and with the Union Jack flying, she drove across the border alone into Germany, presumably for a good look.

It was windy that day, and as she drove between Gleiwitz in Germany and Katowice in Poland, a distance of some 20 miles, she looked over at a tarpaulin that the Germans had erected along the shoulder of the road to screen off the valley below. The wind caught the edge just enough for her to catch a glimpse of “large numbers of troops, literally hundreds of tanks, armored cars and field guns” hidden in the valley, as she later wrote.

Driving quickly back to Poland, she telephoned her editor the news that was, for her newspaper, a world exclusive on Aug. 29. Despite the insistence of officialdom in Britain that war was weeks away, she revealed otherwise. The Guardian, another British newspaper, called it “prob-

ably the greatest scoop of modern times.” We can just imagine what Hitler called it, hoping, as he likely was, for the element of surprise.

On Sept. 1 the Germans invaded Poland. World War II had started.

Again Hollingworth was in the right place, and she telephoned her editor that the Germans had crossed the border. Awakened in Katowice, she could see German bombers overhead and artillery fire in the distance. Her editor wasn’t persuaded until she held the phone outside the window and he could hear the German tanks roaring past. She continued to cover the news during WWII from Eastern Europe, the Balkans and North Africa. For her work, she was not given a byline. Few reporters were then.

Clare Hollingworth was born in central England to a “well-heeled” British family, according to the obituary in The New York Times. Her father ran the family’s boot and shoe factory, and together they would take trips to historic battlefields in England and France. She visited plenty of battlefields on her own

when she traveled the world for over 40 years as a war correspondent. In addition to the two British newspapers previously mentioned, she also wrote for The International Herald Tribune and The Wall Street Journal. She reported on the Greek and Algerian civil wars, the hostilities at the end of the British mandate in Palestine and the Vietnam War, among other military actions. So keen was her nose for covert information that she was accused by both the British and local governments of being a spy and sometimes arrested.

She was one of the first to report regularly from China, covered military action between India and Pakistan and “obtained the first interview with Mohammed Reza Pahlavi after he became the shah of Iran in 1941 and, what was very likely among the last, after he was deposed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979,” according to The Times.

She enjoyed other scoops, married twice, endured danger and loved her work. She was rewarded with a long life.
