Police shine light on the ugly truths of drug abuse

By Kevin Redding Kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini updated the community last week on the success of the department’s Ugly Truth program, a county-wide initiative designed to curb opioid use through community seminars that educate parents and teens, provide treatment options to help those in need of recovery, and shine a graphic light on what these drugs do to those who take them.

The commissioner and local officials took to West Islip Public Library Jan. 25 to champion the department’s Ugly Truth program.

“It’s very important that we recognize the problem, talk about the problem clearly and intelligently, and that we provide people with the tools necessary to get their lives back on track,” Sini said at the press conference that addressed what’s being done by the police to combat the county’s rising heroin and opiates problem.

Suffolk residents who attend the seminars also learn how to administer Narcan, the life-saving drug that reverses the effects of an overdose and helped save well over 200 lives in 2016.

Sini said the epidemic has climbed in the past year, with upwards of 346 fatal opioid-related overdoses in 2016 as opposed to more than 270 fatal opioid-related overdoses in 2015.

“We need to be invested in solving this

‘We need to be invested in solving this problem...there’s no silver bullet here.’

Since the Ugly Truth program launched in March 2015, with an emergency medical services unit and the medical examiner’s office,

148294

41 forums have been held with a total 3,500 participants. Nearly 700 attendees were between the ages 14 and 17; more than 3,000 have been trained to administer Narcan and 2,400 Narcan kits have been distributed.

A segment of the forum, “Operation: Medicine Cabinet,” teaches parents to make sure prescription drugs are properly disposed of to prevent their kids from rummaging through and finding anything that might be harmful. People in recovery who’ve experienced substance abuse disorders are also brought in to talk about how their addiction has affected their lives and those around them, and resources geared toward combatting addiction, including the Suffolk County Substance Abuse Hotline number, are made available.

The Suffolk County Police Department has also partnered with the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and other organizations to help overdose victims get treatment.

After an overdose, the department gives the victim’s contact information to LICADD and other organizations, which then reach out to the victim about recovery options.

In 2016, SCPD provided LICADD with information on 221 overdose victims; 59 of those victims were successfully contacted, and 26 of them were involved in treatment.

According to officials these statistics are improving every year.

“If we don’t get personal, families suffer personally and that’s what the Ugly Truth is about,” SCPD Deputy Commissioner Risco Mention-Lewis said. “It’s to be thought of as a personal relationship with members of the bureau, communities, parents and families to say ‘we know you’re suffering, you may not even know what to look for, but we can help you stop this as soon as possible.’”

Officials said nothing hits attendees — especially young ones — harder than when medical examiners and medical experts from the Suffolk County Department of Health Services show slides of some of the devastating physical effects of substance abuse. These graphic images include a side-by-side comparison of a normal heart to a yellowing deteriorated heart and frothing from the mouth and nose as a result of leaky blood vessels in the lung, both

caused by opioid use.

“While these pictures are not for shock value, we are trying to scare them [teenagers] a little bit and show them some of the things we actually see in the medical examiner’s office,” Suffolk County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Michael Caplan said. “I also want kids and families to know...it’s not just about the overdose; there are multiple other complications, diseases, and infections that can also be complications of addiction.”

Sini and EMS Officer Jason Byron gave a brief demonstration of Narcan training that Ugly Truth program attendees receive. While the commissioner was quick to point out that Narcan doesn’t cure drug addiction and won’t wipe out the epidemic, he said it’s a step in the right direction.

“Each life we save with Narcan is a potential story of recovery,” he said. “It’s to be administered to the overdosing person as quickly as possible so they’re still alive when first responders arrive. If you administer Narcan, you must call 911 once the person is revived.”

Dr. Scott Coyne, chief police surgeon in the SCPD, has been instrumental in implementing Narcan in the department. He said he’s pleased with how successful it’s been so far.

“There’s just a dramatic number of people that are walking around now that would never have been walking around [without Narcan],” Coyne said. “Unfortunately there is a need for this. It’s a twoedged sword. It’s a great program, but it also points out the extent of the problem.”

The commissioner expressed optimism the prevention work of the program has been effective. Even though the county saw a record amount of deaths brought on by opioids in 2016, the average age of those overdosing is higher than it’s been in the past. He said it’s suggestive that the department’s awareness is getting through to young people.

“While the numbers don’t seem to be going down, there is that one silver lining,” Sini said. “This is a long-term investment that we need to be making. We’ve made a lot of progress on the treatment front. The next frontier has to be prevention and recovery. There has been a complete acceptance now that this is an epidemic that affects all communities, all races, and all demographics.”

Suffolk County legislators propose parks community watch program

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County legislators are determined to protect the area’s parks.

Last week, Legislator Kara Hahn (DSetauket) and Legislature Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) joined together to urge the passage of a resolution establishing a community watch program.

“It is clear to me and I’m sure to everyone who has worked in parks over the years, that we are really only scratching the surface on what seems to be a region wide issue of parks dumping,” Hahn said. “This resolution is calling on us to reach out to adjacent neighbors of all of our parks — and I hope local towns and villages will come on board as well — and ask them to become part of a parks watch program and be our eyes and ears on the ground so that if you see anything it gets reported, recognized and cleaned up.”

Hahn said she recently discovered illegal dumping and pollution at West Hills County Park in Melville, and it inspired her to draft a resolution.

“We found piles of cement, and bricks,” she said. “Vinyl siding sticking out of the ground…there was multiple two by fours, roofing shingles, sheets of linoleum, carpeting, tires and more. Folks have clearly been systematically dumping. Not just dumping, but digging a hole and covering it up and burying these materials.”

The legislation calls for the county Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation to establish a program that recruits and encourages Suffolk residents to protect

Legislator Kara Hahn points to a photo of some of the garbage dumped at a park. county parks by watching and reporting suspicious activity.

Gregory said county parks are a valued resource and need to be protected.

“There are instances where it’s not nec-

essarily contamination but it certainly poses a danger to those who are in the park,” he said of the pollution. “We are going to be encouraging people that not only live near the parks but also those who visit the

parks to report any type of dumping or illicit behavior they are concerned about and feel we should be concerned about.”

The mission of the proposal is for the parks watch program to aid county officials in identifying locations of dumping and encourage the community to have a sense of ownership and protection in their parks.

The proposal states the parks department is authorized to establish this program and encourage residents living adjacent to county parks to participate, as well as conduct outreach to neighbors of parklands to become a part of the watch program. The program will have a designated webpage, phone number and email address. If the legislation passes, the program would be fully operational in about four months, and the committee would issue a written report on the progress of the program to County Executive Steve Bellone (D), as well as each legislator by Dec. 1.

“The best scenarios are when the community comes together and is on the lookout,” Hahn said. “Whether it’s an adjacent neighbor or visitors who walk the trails everyday or even establishing friends groups really helps as well. We need to continue to love our parks.”

Kevin McDonald from the Long Island chapter of The Nature Conservancy said he was pleased to support this effort.

“The public’s best experience for the natural world in Suffolk County is its parks,” he said. “The last experience one wants to have when they’re looking to escape what is otherwise a very hectic life is a pile of somebody’s construction debris from a dump the night before.”

LI nonprofit works to give hope to those suffering with drug abuse

By DEsiréE KEEgan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com One hundred and one days ago, Nick McErlean got on his knees as he does every night and prayed.

The 27-year-old struggling drug addict and alcoholic was looking for a way out and a way off Long Island.

“I said, ‘God, you could send me to West Palm Beach, or you can keep me here,’” he said. “‘Whichever is your will.’”

At 8:30 a.m. the next morning, Tracey Farrell, a complete stranger to McErlean, called him regarding her new nonprofit organization, On Kevin’s Wings, to tell him she’d like to help him get that plane ticket out of New York and into recovery. After her two-hour initial conversation, she kept in close contact with him, and after a short two-day span, he was on a plane to Florida. He’s now 99 days sober.

“I say this very seriously — it’s like God sent me an angel,” McErlean said. “Tracey found out about me and just took a chance, and it’s turned out to be the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I struggled for 13 years with drug addiction and alcoholism and what Tracey provided for me was a fresh start somewhere new. I could seek out the recovery I wanted and find out who Nick really is.”

Farrell, the founder of the group North Shore Drug Awareness, who helped work with Suffolk County to create the PSA “Not My Child,” following the loss of her son Kevin to a heroin overdose, said that although she initially wanted to create a coalition two years ago, she realized what she was doing was

much more important.

“Of course, prevention is important, but North Shore [Drug Awareness] is really about awareness, communication, education, support — it’s just such a bigger scope than that,” she said. “I’ve had so many people reach out to me for help with their family members to get treatment, and so often I hear of families who want to send their kids out of state and unfortunately are stuck because of financial hardships. It totally clicked in my head, that that’s where I can help. Whether it’s airfare, bus fare, train fare. Anywhere I can help with transportation I’m going to take advantage of it.”

While formulating an idea of what she wanted her foundation to be, McErlean was living at a sober home in Riverhead. He said he was unhappy, and he was afraid he’d start using again.

“I’d been on Long Island my whole life, and I felt stuck,” he said. “I was caught in the grips of an overwhelming cocaine addiction. I saw my life on the streets ending with death, and I knew I didn’t want to die, and I knew that I didn’t want to be homeless and I didn’t want to hurt anybody else, most importantly myself.”

In conversation with a friend in the Riverhead facility, McErlean joked about wanting to move away. His friend responded that if he was serious, he might know someone who could help. McErlean was connected with Katrin O’Leary in West Palm Beach, who helped place his new friend in the home in Riverhead.

The parent advocate told him that if he could get money for a flight, she’d save him a bed.

“It takes a village to help each other,” said O’Leary, who is also on the board of the

Florida Association of Recovery Residencies.

“Due to my connections, I connected him with someone who was willing to scholarship him in until he gets his feet on the ground.”

But he didn’t have money for a flight. After telling O’Leary, that’s when she reached out to Farrell, whom she’s known for a few years, asking if she knew anyone that could help.

“I literally had just started the foundation, so it was kind of amazing,” Farrell said when she received the call from O’Leary. “It reinforced me that this was the right thing to do.”

Two days later, she was helping put McErlean on a plane to Florida, and O’Leary, whose son is currently 25 months sober, couldn’t be happier to help him and for the work Farrell continues to do.

“He’s thriving,” O’Leary said. “It feels fantastic to help another person find their way into recovery. That’s what we all hope for. It’s someone’s child, and everyone should have a fair chance at life, especially when they’re willing. And Tracey is my hero. I cannot even

fail. He said being on Long Island he was surrounded by the reminders of his past, but in Florida, recovery and sobriety is all he knows, and he’s surrounded by people who will go to great lengths to get and stay sober.

“That’s what I needed in my life,” he said.

“My whole life, I had a void within myself. I never felt worthy of anything. I never felt that anything I got I deserved. I always felt less than and I came down here on a self-seeking discovery and the journey is turning out to be beyond my wildest dreams already.”

In Florida, he’s gaining more than just sobriety. He has a full-time job, and he’s seeing and experiencing things besides sobriety he said he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to without Farrell’s help.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that if I stayed on Long Island I would have relapsed and I would have died,” he said. “It’s just how my life had gone from 14 years old to the point before I moved down here. I’m a suicide survivor, and the biggest thing that I’ve gotten out photos from tracey Farrell

fathom losing a child to substance abuse disorder and instead of just walking away, because that would’ve been her way out, she continues to help other children. I have the utmost respect for her.”

While some say the best way to get over the past is to face it head on, that was not the case for McErlean, who tried and continued to

of this whole journey is my will to live back.”

McErlean called Farrell when he reached 90 days sober. It happened to be the day Farrell started a GoFundMe page for her organization. As of publication, On Kevin’s Wings has raised $2,075 with the help of 33 donors.

nonprofiT Continued from page A5 “I’m watching the money come in … and $1 million could’ve come in and I would still be more happy about his 90 days,” she said.

“I’m just so proud. That’s a big number. That’s when their brain actually starts to heal — after that 90-day mark, so it’s so key that he got there. My son didn’t get to get to the 90-day point. Kevin was just shy of 90 days. I could cry that’s how much it means.”

Farrell said when she first got involved in helping others, she told herself, “if I could help one person,” but knew one was not enough.

“The fact that people know me by name now and know that they can come to me and I can help them, it’s the most gratifying thing,” she said. “It helps me heal in ways I could never have imagined.”

Farrell held the organization’s first fun-

draising event, a food and wine pairing dinner at Pure North Fork Craft Kitchen & Bar in Wading River Jan. 25. The event sold out days in advance. The next fundraiser will be held at Buffalo Wild Wings in Miller Place in March.

If in need of help, reach out to Farrell through the Facebook page North Shore Drug Awareness or On Kevin’s Wings Facebook page. If you’d like to donate to the organization’s cause, visit www.gofundme.com/onkevins-wingshope-takes-flight.

“It’s only because of this relocation process that I’ve become so willing,” McErlean said.

“The addiction crisis on Long Island is absolutely at an all-time high and I’m tired of burying friends, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers, fathers, you name it. People are dropping like flies. As I gain more and more sobriety and as I gain more and more through this process, it isn’t about me anymore. I want other people to know and see that there is a way out.”

North Shore student released after immigration ban President Trump’s order halts entry from seven countries, seeks to reform policy

By Victoria Espinoza and alEx pEtroski The recent executive order by President Donald Trump (R) for immigration reform affected refugees and immigrants across the country this past week, including a North Shore-bound traveler.

Trump signed an order Jan. 27 to ban travelers from seven nations — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — from entering the United States for the next 90 days.

The immigration reform effort has been met with criticism from federal legislators and activists, and protests against the ban broke out in airports and cities across the country, some starting just hours after the order was signed.

Other federal politicians and commentators support the action, citing the country’s need to strengthen immigration laws and secure the U.S. from terrorist attacks.

Stony Brook student detained

The travel ban and its hasty roll out impacted Stony Brook University president of Graduate Student Organization, Vahideh Rasekhi, who is pursuing a doctorate in linguistics.

According to a statement from university President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr., Rasekhi was detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport when she arrived back in the U.S. from a trip to Iran to visit her family, though she arrived on a layover flight from Ukraine. She was detained and later released Jan. 29. Stanley addressed Trump’s executive order, urging caution from international students, and recommending students from the seven countries listed in the order not travel outside of the U.S. unless absolutely necessary during the 90-day period.

“In November, I shared a message with the campus community expressing the university’s unwavering commitment to diversity — anchored in our strong values of access and inclusiveness — and to creating a campus environment that welcomes all,” Stanley said. “I want to reaffirm the university is resolute on this stance.”

Stanley also offered international students contact information for the university’s Visa and Immigration Services Office, and planned to host an information

session with legal experts at the Wang Center yesterday, Feb. 1.

Rasekhi, who arrived at Stony Brook in 2010 after attending the University of California and California State University, declined an interview request, but addressed her experience in an emailed statement through a university media relations representative.

“I am now grateful to be back on the Stony Brook University campus, where I plan to complete my Ph.D. dissertation and continue my work as president of our Graduate Student Organization,” she said.

“I would like to extend my sincerest thanks and appreciation to all who intervened on my behalf, including elected representatives, attorneys from the International Refugee Assistance Project and Legal Aid Society who volunteered their help, the ACLU, the [SBU] Linguistics Department and the leadership at Stony Brook University.”

Local officials react

The U.S. representative for New York’s 1st Congressional District, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), one of Trump’s local supporters, said in an email through a press representative he played a role in Rasekhi’s release from JFK, though he said he supports the order.

“I sympathize with every innocent person looking to come to America for a better life but we must prioritize America’s national security first,” Zeldin said.

He added he would support a ban on all Syrian refugees entering the U.S. until vulnerabilities in vetting systems can be improved.

“America is a nation of immigrants and people should have the opportunity to pursue the American Dream,” Zeldin said. ...

“The ultimate humanitarian victory is to assist with efforts to stabilize these nations and eliminate the threats there to peace.”

He also said he plans to monitor the application of the order and intervene in cases where he believes it is being used incorrectly.

The 3rd Congressional District U.S. representative, Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), offered no such support for the order.

“While we all are concerned about the security of our people and our nation, we cannot abandon our values,” he said in a statement.

‘To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban. … This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.’

— donald trump ... “This issue cannot become an excuse for discrimination. I am adamantly opposed to targeting whole populations of people based upon their religion. It is un-American.”

After the signing of the executive order Jan. 27, subsequent protests over detentions, the opinion that this order targets people based on religion and the apparent uncoordinated rollout, Trump issued a statement Jan. 29.

“America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave,” he said.

“We will keep it free and keep it safe. … To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban. … This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.”

A closer look at the order

David Sperling, an immigration attorney based out of Huntington Station, said he believes there is a need for reform.

“I’m an immigration attorney, I’ve been doing this for 22 years,” he said in a phone interview. “From being in immigration court I have seen there is a great deal of fraud even from people applying for asylum from the United States.”

He referenced a lack of documentation from refugees in areas like Syria.

Detractors of the ban have criticized the inclusion of the countries on the list — all of which have a Muslim-majority population.

According to New America, a nonpartisan think tank, “not one domestic terrorist attack since 9/11” has been executed by citizens of the seven countries now banned from entering the U.S. “Overall, terrorism in America is happening from homegrown radicals,” the think tank said. Foreign attackers have come from Egypt, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, none of which made the list.

The new administration has contended it has simply continued an initiative started by the Obama administration, which flagged the seven countries as possible areas of concern in 2015, and imposed limited restrictions.

“I’ve never in my career as an immigration attorney seen anything like this,” Sperling said, though he added many aspects of Trump’s presidency thus far are without precedent.

During the 90-day period, the president has ordered the Secretary of Homeland Security with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence to review the current information required from a country before a traveler is granted a visa or admission to the U.S. to ensure the country is not allowing in individuals who are security threats.

The executive order states the 90-day ban is needed to ensure research during this time is successful, the maximum utilization of resources are being used and adequate standards are established. The order also leaves room for special exceptions on

File photos

above, president donald trump suspended entry from seven countries last week; airports across the country were the site of massive protests. a case-by-case basis.

A mission of this order is to eventually implement new uniform screening standards for immigration programs.

For immigrants and refugees, there is already an extensive system process in place.

For immigration screening, according to the State Department, the process includes submitting a petition to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, submitting financial and other supporting documents, and completing an interview.

According to the White House, the refugee screening process involves multiple steps, including interviews with the United Nations refugee agency to confirm refugee status and conducting biographic security checks. While all of these steps are happening, each refugee’s file is being continuously reevaluated based on any new, relevant terrorism information.

Less than 1 percent of the global refugee population makes it past the first step in the process currently. The order also suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days, but plans to prioritize refugee claims of minority religious-based persecution in their home country.

The ban also sets a 50,000 cap on refugees allowed to enter the states in 2017, compared to the Obama administration’s goal of admitting 110,000 refugees, according to the Pew Research Institute.

The order intends to complete and implement a biometric entry-exit tracking system of fingerprints and digital photos for all travelers to the U.S. which was discussed by prior administrations and committees.

The order also intends that there will be more transparency in reporting facts and data collection to the public regarding the number of foreign nationals who planned or carried out acts of terrorism.

Sperling said most of his clientele come from Hispanic communities and are concerned about the future.

“They’re scared, they don’t know what’s going to happen,” Sperling said. “There’s a great deal of fear and uncertainty in the immigrant community.”

West beats out East in crosstown rival battle Both teams go on to claim wins in Jan. 31 matchups

By Bill landon A freshman paired up with one of the oldest members on the team to take down a crosstown rival.

Jillian Meaney and Gabby Horman scored 16 points each in Smithtown West’s 55-41 home win over Smithtown East Jan. 27.

Trailing by two early in the first quarter, Meaney hit a pair of threepointers to put her team back in front, 9-8, after three minutes of play. Tied 11-11 tie at the end of eight minutes, Smithtown West stretched the lead behind a strong performance by Horman, who battled in the paint to help her team outscore its opponent 23-6 before the halftime break. Horman spent quality time at the free-throw line too, scoring seven of eight charity points, and adding a field, for her team to take a 34-17 advantage into the locker room.

West 55 East 41

“We knew that East was coming in strong because this is a big game for them and a big game for us,” Meaney said. “We had a lull at first, but we pulled together and we pulled out strong.”

Smithtown East junior Ceili Williams hit a field goal and followed it with a threepointer, and freshman Kate Cosgrove also drained a long-distance shot to chip away at the deficit, but Smithtown West Senior Sarah Harrington had other ideas.

“We had to push hard — we knew their defense and we had to try to break their press — but I guess they showed up a little better than us today,” Williams said. “Every game is important, but if we could’ve beaten West, that would be the icing on the cake.”

Harrington answered with a three-pointer of her own to put her team out front, 4127, to begin the final quarter of play.

“We’ve been playing with them since the third grade, so we know who they have,” Harrington said. “It’s just a matter of who wants it more, and I have a lot of confidence in my team. We hit a lot of our shots and we rebounded well.”

Speaking of rebounds, Horman had 25 before fouling out early in the quarter.

Smithtown East looked to capitalize on the opportunity, and took the inside game away from its opponent.

“Defensively, we had a game plan to come back to the taller girls on their team,” Smithtown East head coach Tom Vulin said. “ I thought we did a great job in the first quarter, but it got away from us in the second. We sent Gabby Horman to the line a bunch of times [and that hurt us].”

Smithtown East senior Tori Redmond, who also recorded a game-high 16 points in the game, had the hot hand late. She hit four straight field goals, and classmate Jordi DeBernardo swished a trey to make it a 9-point game, but the team would come no closer.

“Gabby [Horman] and Sarah [Harrington] are very good players — they both have height and we did a poor job of boxing them out later in the game,” Redmond said. “Then we got Gabby in foul trouble

and that was [our opening].”

Smithtown West head coach Katie Combs was confident in her team’s ability to get the job done despite the foul out.

“Our girls are resilient,” she said. “They never give up, and every night a different person steps up. Tonight it was Jill Meaney [and] Lauren Soriano [who] hit some three’s when we really needed them.”

Smithtown West sophomore Garbrianna Lorefice knocked down a free throw, field goal and three-pointer, and Meaney netted five more points to put the game away. Soriano scored 11 points and Lorefice finished with nine.

Redmond said the rival game stands as an important test.

“We did better on defense later in the game, but our shots weren’t falling,” she said. “It’s important to us we’re always competitive when we play them. It’s a lot of fun.”

Both teams went on to claim wins in their next matchups. Smithtown East bested Centereach Jan. 31, 59-37, and Smithtwon West oustscored North Babylon on the same day, 49-31.

“We have [three] games left before the playoffs, Combs said. “And we’ve got to take care of business.”

In the Suffolk County single/doubles bowling tournament, two Smithtown teams made it to the final four, and junior Robert Clemente and freshman Glen Robinson took the 2017 doubles title.

The duo secured the No. 1 seed after three qualifying rounds. Clemente bowled his highest game ever, a 278, in the semifinals, helping them advance to the finals.

The doubles team of senior Tom Johnson and junior Jake Wallasch secured the No. 4 seed by only three pins.

In the singles tournament, junior James O’Connell finished in third place, while junior Eric Bholan ranked sixth.

In all there were more than 100 singles entrants and 95 doubles teams.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

File photo by Alex Petroski

One of the many signs held up during Port Jeff Station’s Women’s March Jan. 21 in opposition to President Donald Trump.

Saying something is safer doesn’t mean that it is Discriminating based on religion is un-American. This statement does not suggest the editorial board is not in favor of a safer country. We just don’t see how turning away people seeking refuge from civil war, oppressive governments, or who are hoping to find a better life for their families poses a threat to America’s national security. It opposes the beliefs on which America was founded. And the current executive order for immigration reform targets people from the Islamic faith overwhelmingly, with more than 65 percent of the population in all seven countries being Muslim — and some countries reaching as high as 95 percent.

Vigorous screening processes are already in place to vet prospective entrants, and according to two think tanks — the Cato Institute and New America, founded to conduct research on public policy — exactly zero Americans have been killed by immigrants from any of the seven countries named in President Donald Trump’s (R) executive order.

Further, the order allows exemptions for people emigrating from countries where they are in the religious minority, again targeting religion. Islam is the predominant religion in all seven countries.

As we have said in the past, immigration policy in the U.S. needs to be reformed. During President Barack Obama’s (D) administration, he failed to deliver on a campaign promise to make it easier for people to come to the U.S. legally and more difficult for people to come illegally.

However, as we’ve previously stated, “build a wall” is not an immigration policy, and neither is “halt immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries.”

The claim America is safer as a result is also difficult to justify. The threat of ISIS is in its ability to reach Muslims already in the U.S., and convince those in the group that they are not welcome, a task we would speculate Trump’s rhetoric and policies have made easier. As Obama frequently stated when bogged down in the wholly unproductive discussion over whether our leaders should publicly use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism,” the goal of an organization like ISIS is to manufacture a war on Islam. Policies like Trump’s immigration executive order serves as nothing more than an ISIS recruiting tool. While we applaud the effort by government to make our country safer, the execution of this latest attempt has caused chaos.

than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste.

Hygiene products collected at Port Jefferson Station’s Women’s March prior to their donation to local women’s shelters.

Women’s March organizer thanks the community Thank you for covering the Long Island From Day One Sister Women’s March, held at the corner of Routes 112 and 347 in Port Jefferson Station Jan. 21.

As organizer of this event, I was deeply inspired by the incredible turnout by fellow Long Islanders, including Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) and Suffolk County Legis-

lator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket).

Such turnout reflects not only the concern of thousands of us, but also the determination we have to be responsible for what happens in our country and our future. It was an amazing day, here on Long Island, and across the world. The presence of Suffolk County police officers helped to secure the success and safety of this peace-

ful demonstration, which not only brought people together at this difficult time, but also resulted in the collection of over 800 signatures to engage local representatives, and filled three and a half SUV’s with hygiene products for local shelters. Welldone Long Island!

Kathy Greene-Lahey Port Jefferson

The Women’s March was just the beginning We received The Times of Huntington, Northport & East Northport today [Jan.26] and were elated to see the coverage of the Port Jefferson March on the front cover.

All of us stand in solidarity on issues that were on the signs people carried that day.

This so-called president has put this country back 50 years.

All that we’ve accomplished as a country has been destroyed.

My wife and I have a daily agenda, calling our Democrat-

ic representatives and calling D.C..

It’s becoming obvious to many of us that only “we the people” can change what’s happening.

It’s amazing to me that some Democratic elites still believe this is about Hillary Clinton and the DNC. It’s not. The messages on the signs tell us exactly why we are here.

Had the election been fair, Bernie Sanders would be presi-

dent and none of this would have happened.

All of us need to keep the marches going and build our strength through our numbers.

The worldwide protests were unprecedented and encouraging, as our allies stand with us against the blatant Republican coup that stole our country from us.

We want it back.

OpiniOn An inspirational tale of recovery from the volleyball court

W

e are all proud of our children.

It’s part of the perks of becoming a parent. We beam when they can walk, we celebrate what they say. We applaud their gold stars on their homework sheets, positive comments from their teachers, and their contributions to transformative musical performances that echo long in our minds.

Recently, I attended one of my daughter’s volleyball matches.

She is on a new team and I didn’t know most of the other players.

By Daniel Dunaief As soon as the first set started, it was clear that two of the girls were the leaders, covering tremendous ground to get to a

D. None of the above

ball, setting the ball from impossible distances to the net, and flying high in the air to spike a ball onto an open spot on the floor.

These two girls were inspiring their teammates with their play, even as they seemed to demand more from themselves with each set.

During the downtime between sets, parents came over to share congratulations, to offer apple slices, and to step away from the loud gym where other girls and their parents were screaming at and applauding each point.

Recognizing this will be a long season and that we’re in this together, I started chatting with several of the other parents, especially when all the children dove headlong into their cellphones during their downtime.

“My daughter is No. 7,” said a beaming woman whose daughter was about 4 inches taller than she was.

“Great,” I nodded appreciatively. “How long did it take you to drive here?”

The conversations were fairly

mundane until one of the fathers of the two stronger players shared a plug to charge his iPhone.

“Your daughter is a great player,” I acknowledged.

“Thanks,” he said with a smile.

“She’s a survivor.”

“Excuse me?” I asked.

“Yes, she had cancer when she was 1 year old. The pediatrician was doing a routine exam and found something. We sent her for tests and, sure enough, she had cancer.”

“Yeah,” he said with a nod. “It’s why her older sister is now going to school to become a nurse.”

The effect is frequently humorous.
