Huntington community members are coming together to boldly discuss opiates and the problems they are causing locally next week. The Town of Huntington Opioid Task Force will present their first public forum titled “Huntington’s Heroin and Opioid Crisis, Our Community Matters, What are the gaps and what are the solutions?” 7 p.m. Sept. 25 at Huntington Town Hall, 100 Main St., Huntington. The task force has assembled five panels made up of professionals from law enforcement, treatment, recovery, health care and prevention specialists. The panelists will deliver impact statements that will start the conversation on how we can change the script together with the community’s help. The goal is to identify gaps develop an action plan. “The Town of Huntington is committed to leaving no stone unturned in its battle against the opioid crisis,” Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) said. “Of course, we must look at the bigger picture to understand and deal with the root causes of this pervasive public health crisis.” Earlier this year, Huntington town employees whose job responsibilities include ensuring the public’s safety, such as lifeguards, were trained in how to administer Narcan in response to increasing overdose rates.

Huntington dedicates street as NYPD Officer Mark J. Natale Way A new sign bears witness to the toll Sept. 11, 2001, continues to exact from South Huntington and the surrounding communities. Town of Huntington officials unveiled a sign dedicating Iceland Drive as NYPD Officer Mark J. Natale Way in honor of a South Huntington resident who died of a 9/11-related illness. About 100 family members, friends and his former co-workers gathered for the Sept. 14 ceremony on what would have been his 56th birthday. “Officer Natale dearly loved his family, friends, colleagues and community as the number of people gathered here to celebrate his life today show the impact he made on all of us,” Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) said. “The sign we are unveiling today is a reminder of his legacy.” Natale was a South Huntington native who graduated from Walt Whitman High School before joining the New York City Police Department in 1985. He was stationed with the 94th Precinct in Greenpoint when the planes hit the World Trade Center towers during the 9/11 attacks. Natale guided dust-covered people fleeing lower Manhattan over the bridges into Brooklyn and onto ferries to New Jersey. In the

days following the attacks, he stood guard at the gates surrounding ground zero. Natale died May 4 of brain cancer at his South Huntington home, which was brought about by his exposure to the scene. “We have not as a nation or region spent enough time honoring and remembering those people in the aftermath of 9/11 who went into harm’s way and paid the same exact supreme sacrifice with their lives as those who perished

that day,” Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) said. “Today, we proudly recognize Officer Mark Natale as a hero.” This was the second ceremony Huntington town officials have hosted in as many months, dedicating a street in honor of first responders who have died of 9/11-related illnesses. “The fact of the matter is that more uniformed and un-uniformed personnel who took part in the search, rescue and recovery opera-

tions that perish will surpass the number of people who were killed on Sept. 11, 2011,” Suffolk County Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) said. “We can never, ever repay people like Mark Natale for what they did that day, or in the weeks and months afterward.” Donnelly said the health care issues faced by 9/11 responders is of “epidemic proportions” and estimated one individual per week is dying as a result of their service following the attacks. “[Mark Natale’s] battle and bravery he demonstrated after 9/11 also serves as a beacon of hope for those who continue to fight 9/11related illnesses,” Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) said. “By naming this street and showing his acts of bravery, he provides hope to those who are still out there fighting.” Natale’s wife, Mayra, thanked all those who attended the ceremony alongside the couple’s three children, Dominick, Catherine and Lauren, for honoring her husband’s memory along with one special request. “We all lost a piece of our hearts when we lost Mark,” she said. “He will live on eternally in our good deeds and the love we share with one another. When you pass by NYPD Officer Mark J. Natale Way, take a moment to look up at the sign and smile.”

Childhood friends look to re-create Commack Day Two childhood friends whose shared tie is a community they love are planning a celebration of what makes Commack unique. The newly revived and first Commack Day will be held Oct. 6 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve off New Highway. Everyone’s invited, Commack resident or not, to help revive a tradition and bring it into the modern era. James Manikas, a Commack resident and local real estate agent, said the idea of hosting a community festival first came up when he was reminiscing over high school memories with his friend, Commack native Dean Spinato. “There’s a Smithtown day, St. James day, a Nesconset day, Huntington fall festival, even Northport Cow Harbor Day, all of the surrounding towns have something like this,” Manikas said. “Wouldn’t it be cool to shut down Commack Road and have a big fair?” The real estate agent said upon talking to older Commack residents, including his mother, he learned the community did once host an annual get together at Hoyt Nature Preserve, but the event hadn’t been held in close to 30 years. “I think I may have attended it as a child,”

he recalled. Earlier this year, Manikas started posting videos and photos on Facebook suggesting a community celebration be revived. As his social media posts gained traction, Spinato, who works organizing marketing events, reached out to him offering to help. “I reached out to Jimmy and said, ‘I’m onboard,’” he said. “We’ve been friends since junior high, so let’s do this the right way. Let’s do a donation, give back and get the community involved.”

The first idea of shutting down Commack Road to hold a street fair was met with several roadblocks. “Commack has nothing because it’s split between Huntington and Smithtown,” Spinato said. “We’d have to go to both towns and see which road we would be able to shut down and get permits.” They sought a special event permit from the Town of Smithtown to use Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve, harkening back to the past. A commit-

tee of lifelong “Commackians” was formed to begin assembling a lineup of entertainment, food and music. “When you find out someone is from Commack, you simply gravitate to them, it has that strong sense of community,” Manikas said. “I want people to see what a great town it is.” The event will feature live music from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. including performances by 3 Dudes from Commack, Full Circle Live, Killing Time and 70’s Flashback. Several local and chain restaurants have agreed to donate food for the event, according to Manikas, which will be available for tasting. “You’re allowed a table there to promote any kind of business,” he said. “We’d prefer it to be a Commack business first.” A listing of all the businesses that have pledged to be involved can be found on the event’s website at www.commackday.com. Tickets are $10 in advance through eventbrite or $15 cash-only on the day of the event. A portion of the proceeds will be given to the Commack Fire Department. “These people are here, protecting us and our community, who are strictly volunteer,” Manikas said. “I think the least we can do is give back to them.”

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Restoring Long Island’s coastal waters as a haven for shellfish to thrive has been a multidecade battle for the Town of Brookhaven. This year, it has added some artillery to the fight in the form of a public-private-nonprofit partnership born in the spirit of sustainability and recycling. In the 1800s, Long Island was considered the oyster capital of the world, according to Maureen Dunn, water quality scientist at Seatuck Environmental Association, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Long Island’s wildlife and environment. “So, to think that there’s virtually no wild oysters in the South Shore is incredible, but it’s really something that we can fix,” Dunn said Sept. 7 at Brookhaven’s shellfish hatchery located on the shores of Mount Sinai Harbor. For more than 30 years, Brookhaven has been buying juvenile clams and oysters when they are just a millimeter in size, partially maturing them at the town’s hatchery and strategically returning them to North and South Shore waters in an effort to boost the population. Tom Carrano, the town’s assistant waterways management supervisor who has overseen this process since taking the position in the early ’80s, is set to retire imminently. “Realistically, clams and oysters are the only

natural resource the town actually owns because we own the bay bottom,” he said. “It’s our responsibility to make sure that there is sufficient quantities of these animals.” To aid in fulfilling that responsibility, beginning this year the town has partnered with Seatuck and so far five restaurants to spearhead a program called Half Shells for Habitat. The program entails the restaurants setting aside shells from eaten clams and oysters; collecting them; delivering them to the town’s composting facility in Manorville where they are aged in the sun for six months to a year to ensure viruses and bacteria are not inhabiting the discarded shells; bringing the shells to the hatchery to allow the tiny shellfish to adhere to the larger shells, building what essentially amount to shellfish reefs; and then returning them to the water in the hopes of growing new shellfish. The town has the capability to grow more than 3 million shellfish in its hatchery per year, and officials believe the use of mature shells will give them a better chance at maturation and warding off predators. Creating the shellfish reefs has several other benefits. The juvenile shellfish require a hard bottom to survive, which the reefs can provide. They also can work as erosion control if placed properly, can counteract the effects of water acidification spurred by climate change and also help to filter algae from the water.

“As CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up, ocean and coastal acidification become more of a concern,” said Anthony Graves, Brookhaven’s chief environmental analyst. He said taking the shells out of the town’s solid waste stream and using them to improve water quality by staving off erosion and stimulating shellfish growth is a “winwin-win” for the environment. “It’s tremendous how far we’ve come,” Carrano said, reflecting on the evolution of the operation of shellfish seeding in the town from when he started in his role. “When I started we were growing 100,000 clams. Now we’re growing a million and a half, close to 2 million clams this year and 2 million oysters. The town has been very generous and forthcoming in pushing this program and allowing it to move forward.” Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said he would like to see New York adopt a similar law to the state of Maryland’s, which prohibits discarding shells in landfills. “We’ve made a major commitment to restocking our bays, our harbor ways, our Sound, doing what we can do to restore the balance of nature,” he said. “It’s a cumulative battle, but it’s a battle that we’ve joined, it’s a battle that we intend to continue to fight because we think it’s important not only for the health of the bay, but also to ensure that the bay or harbor can support

clams and oysters.” Currently five restaurants have signed on to participate in the program — Catch Oyster Bar in Patchogue, Prime in Huntington, H2O Seafood & Sushi in East Islip and Tellers: An American Chophouse in Islip — though the town is looking for more. Prior to placing shellfish reefs back in the water, Graves said the town will need permission in the form of a permit from the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Whelan defeats Scully in Huntington man arrested for allegedly Surrogate’s Court primary threatening to shoot KP student

Democratic primary results for statewide positions

BY ALEX PETROSKI

Incumbent New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) easily defeated Democratic primary challenger activist and actress Cynthia Nixon Sept. 13, securing a spot on the November general election ballot. Cuomo secured nearly 65 percent of the vote statewide, besting Nixon by about 460,000 votes, according to the state Board of Elections. Locally, the two-term governor seeking his third performed even better. Almost 48,000 Suffolk County residents cast their ballots for Cuomo, according to the Suffolk County Board of Elections. Former state assemblyman, Marc Molinaro (R-Red Hook),

awaits Cuomo in the general election. Cuomo’s ticket pulled off a clean sweep in the Democratic primary, as incumbent Lt Gov. Kathy Hochul defeated challenger Jumaane Williams, who campaigned with Nixon. Hochul garnered votes from about 48 percent of New Yorkers, and 57 percent of Suffolk County residents. Her general election opponent will be Julie Killian. In the four-way race for the vacated state attorney general position, Cuomo’s preferred choice Letitia James came out on top with about 38 percent of the vote both in the state and the county. She will face Republican Keith Wofford Nov. 6.

Suffolk County police arrested a Huntington man earlier today for allegedly threatening to shoot a child following his loss to the boy during a video game. The 4th Precinct Crime Section officers initiated an investigation after an 11-year-old Kings Park boy reported receiving threatening text messages and online voice messages via Xbox from a man he recently beat during a game of Fortnite. In the messages, which were sent at approximately 9 p.m. Sept. 17, the man allegedly threatened to shoot the child, possibly at his school, R.J.O. Intermediate School, according to police. Police said they arrested Michael Aliperti, 45, at his home at approximately 1:40 a.m. and charged him with second-degree aggravated harassment and acting in a manner to injure a child. Timothy Eagen, superintendent of Kings Park schools, said the district was notified by Suffolk County police of the incident prior to the start of classes Tuesday morning, but were told “no specific threat had been made toward the school.”

Their first race is in the books, but the more important one is yet to come. Family Court Judge Theresa Whelan defeated attorney Tara Scully in the Democratic primary Sept. 13 to secure a spot on the November ballot in the race to preside over Suffolk County’s Surrogate’s Court. Whelan received nearly 65 percent of the vote, besting Scully 38,674 to 21,040 votes. “Last night was a great victory for Democrats,” Whelan said in a statement Sept. 14. “I want to thank the voters of Suffolk County and Democratic Chairman Rich Schaffer for having confidence in me and my credentials. I’m looking forward to presenting my 10 years of judicial experience and 30 years of courtroom experience to the voters in November.” A spokesperson for Scully’s campaign characterized the primary result as a win. “Tara scored her first victory in July, when her entrance into the race forced party leaders to scrap their plan to make a Conservative the candidate of the Democratic Party and scurry to find a Plan B,” campaign spokesman James Walsh said in a statement. “Today, more than 21,000 Democrats who voted to make Tara the candidate of their party sent a clear message to the party bosses that they are fed up with cross-endorsement deals. Tara is still the only candidate for Surrogate nominated by the people. No other candidate gathered a single signature to get into the race. We are confident that she will have broad support across party lines in the general election.” The nearly 60,000 voters in the closed primary represented a significant turnout jump from the last time Democrats went to the polls. On June 26, a little more than 32,000 Suffolk County residents registered as

“I know we are all thankful that SCPD acted as swiftly as they did, and the adult was taken into custody promptly,” Eagen said in a Sept. 18 letter to district residents. “This is certainly evidence of a commitment to school safety.” The superintendent encouraged Kings Park parents to use this incident to speak with their children about the dangers of online gaming and how children should not be playing video games with people they don’t know. Aliperti was scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 18 at 1st District Court in Central Islip.

Democrats voted in Congressional primaries for the 1st and 2nd districts combined, though the Sept. 13 primary also featured New York gubernatorial, lieutenant governor and attorney general candidates. The Surrogate’s Court race came under scrutiny after Newsday ran an editorial publicizing the political patronage and cross-endorsement agreements that highlighted the race. Newsday reported earlier this year District Court Judge Marian Rose Tinari, who is married to Suffolk’s Conservative Party chairman, Frank Tinari, and is a Conservative herself, had secured the Democratic Party line in the Surrogate’s Court race as a result of a deal with Schaffer. As a result, Scully said she gathered enough petitions to run on both Democratic and Republican lines in July to offer voters an alternative. When presented with Scully as a primary challenger, Tinari dropped out. The Democratic Party then nominated Whelan, who calls herself a lifelong Democrat. Despite Thursday’s primary defeat, Scully has secured the Republican Party line in the race for Surrogate’s Court and will face off Whelan again at the polls in less than two months. Judge John Czygier Jr., who currently oversees the county’s Surrogate’s Court, is nearing the mandatory retirement age, leaving a vacancy Scully and Whelan are competing to fill. The position, which yields a salary in excess of $200,000, carries a 10-year term, and the occupant may serve until age 70. Surrogate’s Court is responsible for handling all issues involving wills and the estates of people who die. The court also handles guardianship hearings and some adoption cases for children whose parents are deceased. Each of New York state’s 62 counties has one surrogate judge except New York and Kings counties, which have two each.

Suffolk police are lookign for the public’s help to identify the above-pictured women, at left, and man who allegedly stole assorted goods from K-Mart.

School supplies stolen in the Station Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and 2nd Precinct Crime Section officers are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate the people who allegedly stole merchandise from a Huntington Station store last month. Two women and one man allegedly stole school supplies at K-Mart, located on New York Avenue, Aug. 20 at around cp2:15 p.m. The items were valued at approximately $200.

Crime Stoppers offers a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with information about this incident can submit an anonymous tip by calling 800-220-TIPS (8477) or texting SCPD and the message to CRIMES (274637). All text messages and calls will be kept confidential.

TOWN OF SMITHTOWN

Town China’s recycling policy creates mountainous problem for Huntington It’s a rubbish time to be involved in the recycling industry. The Town of Brookhaven’s recycling plant Page A22 is grappling with unprecedented mounds of bottles, used paper goods and trash. Ever since China implemented its “National Sword” policy in January banning the import of various nonindustrial plastics, paper and other solid wastes, Brookhaven’s had a hard time selling off collected recyclable materials. As China was one of the top buyers of U.S. recyclables according to NPR, this move has left many Suffolk townships unsure what to do with their residents’ recycled garbage. “While it hasn’t stopped it, China’s new policies have significantly slowed down the ability of recyclers to move material to market,” said Christopher Andrade, commissioner of Brookhaven Town’s waste management department. “There are domestic mills and domestic markets [but] the thing is just finding them, negotiating them and moving the material.” An aerial view of Town of Brookhaven’s Green Stream Recycling plant in Yaphank is surrounded by recyclables in August.

To recycle or not: Tips on handling your trash BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Operators of the Brookhaven recycling plant deal with a lot of junk. Not the good kind of junk, however, as many household items that residents assume can be recycled can cause havoc in the machinery. In the four years since the town invested in single-stream recycling, Erich Weltsek, a recycling coordination aid for Brookhaven, said there has been increased resident participation in the recycling program. But it has also led to some residents chucking in items that have no business being recycled. “We’ve gotten chunks of concrete, and you even get sports balls — like soccer balls, footballs — constantly,” he said. “A lot of what we call ‘wish cycling,’ where people think they’re doing the right thing and when in doubt they throw it in a recycle bin instead of the right receptacle.” Weltsek said people have tried to recycle Coleman outdoor stoves and propane tanks, which is extremely dangerous and could result in an explosion at the facility. The most pervasively disruptive items are plastic bags and other items that Weltsek called “tanglers,” such as Christmas tree lights, pool liners and garden hoses. The recycling facility operates on a number of conveyor belts that first feed into a device called a star screen, a number of rotating cylinders with feet that separate recyclable fibers from other items. These items either wrap around the wheels on the conveyor belt or star screen, either letting fibers through the wrong end or stopping the machine entirely. Suffolk residents should clean out any plastic bottles or cans before putting them in the recycling. Any low-quality paper products, including newspapers or grease-stained cardboard such as used pizza boxes, should not be recycled because they affect the sellable quality of the entire recycling bundle. Andrade said all plastic bags should be recycled at a local supermarket, which are mandated by New York State law to have a receptacle for all shopping bags. The plant often has to turn away other nonrecyclable material, such as plastic utensils, bottle caps and Styrofoam. All of these are considered contaminants, either because they cannot be recycled properly, or they dilute the quality of the material.

community support for our fine schools,” said Superintendent Robert Fenter. During the fall of their junior year, students across the nation take the PSAT, and the top scores are then established. The National Merit Scholarship Program, which dates back to 1955, holds an annual academic competition identifying and honoring these high school students in the U.S. through recognition and

Editorial

LI faces a heap of trash issues When done drinking a bottled water or soda, we usually make a conscious effort to get it into a recycling bin. No further thought given, our good deed is done. We’ve recycled the plastic bottle rather than throwing it out to sit in a landfill. The photos released that clearly show the Town of Brookhaven’s Green Stream Recycling facility was nearly buried in mountains of collected recyclables from the residents of Brookhaven, Smithtown and Huntington townships this August are shocking. It should serve as an alarming wake-up call. This is a direct result of China implementing its National Sword policy to ban the import of recycled plastics. The visual impact of recyclables piling up like trash, and learning some items are now being sent to the landfill, have led us to the conclusion this is an issue that requires careful thought and attention. We, and we’re sure many of our readers, have lived with the presumption our recycled plastic bottles, aluminum cans and used paper were sorted, cleaned and reformed into reusable materials locally. However, we were blissfully unaware that China imported nearly half of the world’s recyclables to turn into raw goods through its manufacturing economy. Now, with changing international trade policy, shipping our recyclables — or honestly, still household garbage — halfway around the world is no longer an option. Suffolk County’s townships are struggling to figure out a new way to handle the piles of debris. Finding a new market for these recycled raw materials will pose an obvious challenge. Striking a balance of recycling items beneficial from a fiscal and economic viewpoint while weighing environmental impact is a challenge on the horizon as well. One of Brookhaven’s recycling staff suggested Suffolk residents need to be more discerning. Get back to the basics of checking plastic bottles for a number inside a triangular arrow on the bottom and rinse all containers out first. It will help improve the value of the recycled material we are trying to sell in a drastically reduced global market. It’s a good first step. But we need take it one step further. The most direct way we, as individuals, can help provide a solution to the problem is to cut back on our dependency on onetime use items. It’s been said for years, but we truly need to start regularly grabbing a refillable water bottle rather than a disposable. Think about taking up the “hipster” trend of using Mason jars to store food. Go back to old-fashioned, but traditional Pyrex to store leftovers instead of limited-use thin plastic containers. These small changes may seem hard at first, but we have proof it’s possible. Sure, every Suffolk resident balked at the idea of paying 5 cents for a plastic bag at retail stores when the policy was implemented in January. In less than a year, it’s seemed to have had a dramatic effect in changing behaviors. Many shoppers now simply carry their own reusable canvas and plastic bags. Permanent change is necessary if we don’t want to be buried up to our necks in trash on Long Island. Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) has predicted a “garbage crisis” within the next seven to eight years as Brookhaven looks to close its landfill. Let’s be part of the solution, and not the problem. Let’s focus on using reusable products, not recyclable or disposable.

September is suicide awareness month It was an honor to attend and speak at The Roaming Hearts Foundation’s inaugural March For Miles event on Saturday, Sept. 15th, at Heckscher Park in Huntington. The foundation was formed to promote mental health and prevent suicide. A sincere thanks to Danielle Peltz for her dedication and leadership in organizing the event, and to all those who participated in making it a remarkable day in memory and honor of the beloved Huntington resident, Miles Kelly, who tragically passed last year due to suicide. As September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, I encourage residents to learn more about this stigma-

tized issue. Taking the lives of more than 40,000 people each year in the United States and ranking as the 10th leading cause of death in the country with rates that have increased by 30 percent in half of all states since 2000, suicide has become a public health crisis. Often misinterpreted as a moral issue, suicide and suicide attempts should be understood as a medical condition, much like that of diabetes or heart disease, deserving of a comprehensive treatment approach. Roaming Hearts Foundation is working to safeguard against this crisis by lifting the stigma associated with mental health conditions that often lead to suicide attempts and suicide and by

raising awareness of existing resources. Creating nonjudgmental environments that foster supportive connections within our homes, schools, workplaces and neighborhoods will empower those silently suffering to reach out for help. By reducing the stigma and offering services, we increase the hope for healing. That is a goal worth fighting for. For more information about their inspiring mission, please check out their website marchformiles.org. Dr. William “Doc” Spencer Suffolk County Legislator 18th District

A poorly engineered economy Many companies are making huge profits by paying their employees wages that are so inadequate that some of them need public assistance just to get by. Today, thousands of workers rely on food stamps, Medicaid and public assistance because they can’t survive on the wages they receive. Meanwhile, 82 percent of the

world’s wealth created last year went to 1 percent of the population. How silly is that? And who pays for the public assistance subsidizing this flow of wealth? We do. The middle class subsidizes the wealthiest companies in the country, while workers struggle to put food on the table. That’s what an engineered economy looks like. In

my view, it’s ridiculous and needs to end. Pay your workers a living wage or pay the public its money back. It’s really simple: If a worker needs $500 in food stamps, you owe us $500. Jerry Reynolds Coram

Social perversion has infected our society Never have the dark clouds of social perversion infected our society as they have presently. The stench of moral decay permeates the very soul of our society. There is now a malignant movement that is altering the concept of our children’s education which is contrary to our traditional family values. The result being that the federal government is now degrading the quality of our left wing colleges. With this level of mental subversion we now have our innocent lambs becoming structured in social disorder and creating a desire for protest without logic. This is a foundation for revolution. Attack one: Language. There is presently a radical transformation in the concepts of nouns, pronouns and adjectives in language structure. Present progressive change in word recognition is changing established word meaning. Example: Congressman is becoming congressperson, chairman is referred to as chairperson and the neutering of Mrs.

and Miss to an unidentifiable Ms. status. Some more examples are actress being referred to as actor, fireman becomes firefighter, policeman and patrolman become police officer. Our naval seaman identification is lost at sea. Mailman lost in the mail. Are there still basemen in baseball? Football lineman still on the line? Do fisherman still fish? Where is the telephone repairman? As nongendered words continue so does the mental madness in regard to language identification. “Beware, in the ancient city of shinar, confusion in language took place.” — Genesis 11:4-9. Attack two: Medical reconstruction. Changing a person’s physical structure is contrary to the laws of deity to satisfy immoral sexual desire. Attack three: Mental stagnation. Hollywood now creates a culture of murder, gun violence and social decay similar to ancient Rome and Greece — making Hollywood the vultures of profit.

Attack four: The Second Amendment. As some medication heals and protects, so do legal weapons in our society. The president, the Supreme Court, the White House and our capital are well protected. Sports arenas, office complexes, court buildings, commercial malls, private retirement homes and many of our entertainment celebrities receive personal protection. Alas our most cherished possessions, our school children, are left to the carnage of death in a gun-free environment. “Society I feel thy sting.” Attack five: The sanctity of the home. When in mortal danger call 911. If you are prepared, personal defense becomes self-defense. Holding your breath for 911 may mean your last breath. As a survivor of the greatest generation, I pray that we return once again and become “One nation under God.” God bless America, Leonard J. Henderson Port Jefferson

Appreciating everybody’s support during Hurricane Florence

he emails, text messages and calls came from all over the country. In the days leading up to Hurricane Florence’s arrival in North Carolina, friends and family shared good wishes for my family, who had moved to the Tar Heel State during the summer. Preparing for the storm, we were under the impression that we were leaving the typical path of hurricanes D. None when we moved this far west to of the above Charlotte, which BY DANIEL DUNAIEF is more than 200 miles from the coast. As the tone and urgency to prepare for the hurricane from meteorologists and politicians

reached a peak, people lined up outside supermarkets, waiting to park their cars and navigate their overflowing carts through crowded aisles for their list of must-haves. Clearly, water and bread were on every list, as the shelves at the 24-hour supermarket didn’t have a drop of bottled water. The only remaining bread was a cranberry concoction that sat on an otherwise bare shelf, examined closely perhaps by a desperate shopper and discarded at a rakish angle, a lone bread crumb telling the tale of the hurricane hurry. Gas stations brought the same crowds, as drivers were as anxious as they would be on Long Island to gather fuel before trucks might be delayed and gas lines could grow. People often referred to 1989, when Hurricane Hugo ripped through Charlotte. Two days before the hurricane reached the area, the public schools closed despite the clear skies and the relatively calm winds. Several of the schools transformed into shelters for residents of the city and for those fleeing from

points further east. The day before the storm, a local bank teller told me about a nearby store that received a new water shipment. The parking lot for this rare find was as empty as the shelves were full of fresh water. On the day of the hurricane, the forecast for the area called for squalls and heavy rains through much of the day. We stared outside, judging how far the trees bent over and how hard the sheets of rain were blown into our windows. Did we dare go out, especially when we didn’t know areas of local flooding all that well? I called the local bagel store, where the man who answered the phone said the store planned to remain open through the afternoon. We looked at trees that provide shade for us in a typical day and are homes for all manner of songbirds to see if we could figure out which of our arboreal friends were the most dangerous — and vulnerable — in the storm. Eager to get fresh food and to leave the house before it was impossible, we drove around a few

downed branches to the store, where we made the mistake of shopping when we were hungry and in provision mode. When our teenage children awoke, we triumphantly presented the food. They seemed mildly impressed. We still had electricity until Sunday afternoon, up until the time when we learned that schools would be closed for another day, as trees were removed from the area and power companies restored energy. The calls and emails from outside the state continued to come in, as supportive friends continued to check to see how we were doing. Even as other areas of the state dealt with unprecedented flooding, strong winds and tornadoes, we considered ourselves fortunate only to have lost a few trees and power for a day. As with the response to Hurricane Sandy, our new neighbors in Charlotte offered advice. We may have moved to a fresh environment, but we were heartened by the support from up close and afar in the face of nature’s fury.

Once again, modern medicine surprises us

t is disconcerting when the medical community reverses course. They seem to do that every decade or so, as with the purported value of vitamin C, estrogen and so forth. The latest about face, in case you haven’t yet heard, is on the matter of taking baby aspirin. For years we have been urged to take a baby aspirin each day to ward off all sorts of ills: heart attacks, Between strokes, dementia, you and me colorectal cancers BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF and who knows what else. Those tiny pills that can dissolve in seconds against the roof of one’s mouth, or be popped into it, seemed capable of miracles. Now, with a shot heard truly around the

world, an Australian research team at Monash University in Melbourne concluded that not only may aspirin not help, it may in some cases actually harm. The results of their study, which included more than 19,000 people over 4.7 years, were published in three articles this past Sunday in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine and summarized by The New York Times on Monday, and by just about all other major media. The study included whites 70 and older, and blacks and Hispanics 65 and older. Each took 100 milligrams — slightly more than the 81 milligrams of a baby aspirin — or a placebo each day. While doing so did not lower their risks of diseases, it did increase “the risk of significant bleeding in the digestive tract, brain or other sites that required transfusions or admission to the hospital,” according to The Times. So what does all that mean, especially for those already at risk for the conditions aspirin was supposed to protect against? I am going to quote from The Times very carefully here because this can get confus-

ing due to mixed messages. “Although there is good evidence that aspirin can help people who have already had heart attacks or strokes, or who have a high risk that they will occur, the drug’s value is actually not so clear for people with less risk, especially older ones,” wrote reporter Denise Grady. So can aspirin prevent cardiovascular events in people with diabetes, for example, or is the benefit outweighed by the risk of major bleeding? Does dose matter in that heavier people might require more aspirin to be prophylactive? Here’s what the study tells us: Healthy older people should not begin taking aspirin. This will no doubt disappoint Bayer, St. Joseph and others who manufacture the drug. But those who have already been using it regularly should not quit based on these findings, according to Dr. John McNeil, leader of the Australian study. Rather they should talk with their doctors first because the new findings do not apply to those who have already had heart attacks or strokes, which involve blood clots. Aspirin is known to inhibit clotting.

The name of this study is Aspree and it was funded by the National Institute on Aging, along with the National Cancer Institute, Monash University and the Australian government. Bayer supplied the aspirin and placebos but had no other role, according to The Times. The study focuses on preventive medicine, especially how to keep older people healthy longer. It included 16,703 people from Australia and 2,411 from the United States, starting in 2010. Serious bleeding occurred in 3.8 percent of the aspirin group as opposed to 2.7 percent in the placebo group. McNeil does suggest the possibility that aspirin’s protective effect against colorectal cancers might still exist but not show up for a longer time span than the study. The Times article does go on to say that the good doctor, who is 71 and specializes in epidemiology and preventive medicine, does not himself take aspirin. Don’t know what to do? As they say in the commercials, consult your doctor.
