Photos from Tracey Farrell

Tracey Farrell, above, with her son Kevin who died of a heroin overdose, created an organization On Kevin’s Wings that helped nick Mcerlean, below, afford recovery.

On Kevin’s Wings works to ensure hope takes flight 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.”

Shoreham district breaks ground at two schools Renewal bond brings construction upgrades to K-5 buildings

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Administrators and board of education members within the Shoreham-Wading River school district were cheered on by smiling kids last week as they broke ground on the second phase of the $48.5 million renewal bond construction project that will bring much-needed improvements to the district’s elementary schools. The first phase was implemented at the beginning of 2016, with renovated tennis courts and a new turf field at Shoreham-Wading River High School.

Equipped with hard hats and shovels, the district team held back-to-back groundbreaking ceremonies Jan. 19 at the Miller Avenue School and Wading River School to highlight for the students their upcoming construction projects, the majority of which will take place over the summer in order to be completed by the time school starts back up in September.

Some of the work being done includes the construction of four brand new kindergarten classrooms at Miller Avenue School, as well as

a complete reconfiguration of the building to make it a more child-friendly and productive space — planned installation of bathrooms in the classrooms, for instance, serves to eliminate daily lesson disruptions caused by frequent and time-consuming trips down the hallway.

“It’s really going to make instruction a lot better,” Miller Avenue Principal Christine Carlson said.

The Wading River School will see the renovation of 10 classrooms, the addition of four new ones, the construction of a cafetorium, as well as significant interior upgrades like making its bathrooms Americans with Disabilities Act accessible.

Neither building has received major improvements since they were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and so, the bond will also go toward replacing a lot of the original infrastructure like the weathered roofs and windows.

“It’s a long road [still], but it’s great and exciting,” board trustee and co-president of the bond committee Michael Lewis said. “It’s going to be difficult — there’s going to be a

Lewis formed the bond committee with other board members in an attempt to get as much done in as short a period as possible.

They spent about nine months reviewing building conditions, weighing options and finding potential upgrades needed to bring the district to “modern standards of design, safety, codes and efficiency” while landing on a total cost that the community would accept.

The $48.5 million bond project was met with overwhelming approval by the community with a vote of 1,421 to 585 on Jan. 13, 2015, allowing the district to get its renovations underway.

“Each of the four schools [including Prodell Middle School] is getting between $12 and $13 million,” Lewis said. “It’s spread pret-

ty evenly, which is great. It’s not a bond that just touches one school. This will impact K-12, arts, sports, your typical classroom settings, everything.” The Shoreham-Wading River district plans to begin construction projects to Prodell Middle School next year.

At the front of Wading River Elementary, the school’s entire student body, as well as its teachers and administrators, joined the board members in a groundbreaking celebration.

The ceremony kicked off with a performance by the fifth-grade band.

Principal Louis Parrinello addressed the group of kids, calling for a round of applause to the board members.

“They’re here because behind the scenes they’re the ones helping to make this all happen, plus all your parents at home and community members that voted to make your school even more beautiful for you, and all the little kids that are gonna come forward,” he said. “It’s going to have a big impact.”

Speaking about Carrie, Mount Sinai Elementary School Principal John Gentilcore said the fourth-grader is always practicing.

“When she stops me in the hallway, she gives me a word to spell, and when I stop her in the hallway, I give her a word to spell,” Gentilcore said in a phone interview. “It’s nice to see her excitement shine through and [we’re]

very excited for her.”

The principal said during the spelling bee, the 9-year-old and her fourth-grade co-champs quickly made their way through the fourthgrade list of words, ending up with words at the eighth-grade level in the final round. In terms of reaching the finals in Washington, Gentilcore said he’s knocking on wood.

“Typically,” he said, “one of the older students will win, but anything can happen.”

Mount sinai Harbor

Three hunters rescued from Mount Sinai Harbor Suffolk County police officers and firefighters from the Mount Sinai Fire Department rescued three hunters after their boat capsized in Mount Sinai Harbor the morning of Jan. 22.

James Knipe and his son, also named James, along with Kendrick Pisano, were duck hunting in a boat in Mount Sinai Harbor when their vessel took on water and overturned. After the three entered the water, they clung to the overturned boat and the elder Knipe, 47, called 911 on his cell phone.

Suffolk Police notified the United States Coast Guard and the Mount Sinai Fire Department. When 6th Precinct officers arrived

on scene, they observed all three clinging to the overturned boat and holding onto life jackets. Members of the Mount Sinai Fire Department launched an inflatable vessel and rescued the younger Knipe, 17, and Pisano, 16, from the water. Suffolk Police Marine Bureau Officers John Castorf and Christopher DeFeo, aboard Marine November, pulled James Knipe from the water.

All three victims were brought to the boat ramp and transported to local hospitals for treatment of exposure and hypothermia. Pisano, of Miller Place, was taken to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson and the Knipes, of Middle Island, were trans-

Suffolk County Police Identity Theft Section detectives and the United States Postal Inspection Service today arrested two Brooklyn men for stealing financial information from a Mount Sinai resident’s mailbox.

Inspectors from The U.S. Postal Inspection Service received information regarding an identity theft ring operating throughout the East Coast, targeting victims in the Mount Sinai area. Postal inspectors were able to identify potential targets and contacted the Suffolk County Police Identity Theft Unit. Officials conducted joint surveillance in four locations. As a result of this investigation, two men, Kirby Cineas and Kareem Shepherd, both of Brooklyn, were arrested when the pair removed mail containing a debit card and pin number from a victim’s mailbox, Jan. 23 at approximately 1:15 p.m.

Cineas, 31, and Shepherd, 28, were charged with fourth–degree grand larceny and petit larceny. Shepherd was also ported to Stony Brook University Hospital.

Marine Bureau officers recovered and secured the vessel, the victims’ belongings and three shotguns from the harbor.

The water temperature at the time of the incident was approximately 45 degrees.

Superintendents speak out against Trump’s secretary of education nominee

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com

Many North Shore superintendents and educators are concerned with President Donald Trump’s (R) nominee for secretary of education: Betsy DeVos, chairman of The Windquest Group, a privately-held investment and management firm based in Michigan, to serve as secretary of education.

According to her website, the Michigan resident has a history in politics spanning more than 35 years. She was elected as chairman of the Michigan Republican Party four times, and worked in a leadership capacity for campaigns, party organizations and political action committees, her website states.

DeVos went before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions for a confirmation hearing Jan. 17.

“I share President-elect Trump’s view that it’s time to shift the debate from what the system thinks is best for kids to what moms and dads want, expect and deserve,” DeVos said during her opening remarks at the hearing. “Why, in 2017, are we still questioning parents’ ability to exercise educational choice for their children? I am a firm believer that parents should be empowered to choose the learning environment that’s best for their individual children. The vast majority of students in this country will continue to attend public schools. If confirmed, I will be a strong advocate for great public schools. But, if a school is troubled, or unsafe, or not a good fit for a child — perhaps they have a special

need that is going unmet — we should support a parent’s right to enroll their child in a high-quality alternative.”

DeVos’ views on public education created a stir around the country, and superintendents from the North Shore and county as a whole joined the chorus of those skeptical about the direction she might take the country’s education system.

“I have devoted my entire adult life to public education and believe it is the bedrock of our democracy,” Port Jefferson school district Superintendent Paul Casciano said in an email. “Any programs and initiatives that attempt to weaken public education by diverting funds away from it or that offer alternatives that are not subjected to the same strict standards and scrutiny that public schools must live by, do not have my support.”

Kings Park Superintendent Tim Eagen echoed many of Casciano’s concerns.

“I find President Trump’s nomination for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, to be unacceptable,” he said in an email. “Education in this country is at an important crossroads. As an educational leader and parent of two public school students, it is my goal to provide our children with a globally competitive, rigorous, relevant and challenging education that will prepare them to be active, contributing members of society.”

Eagen also has concerns about DeVos’ qualifications.

“I believe that Betsy DeVos is unqualified to run the U.S. Department of Education,” he said. “She is a businesswoman and politician

without any experience in public service or public education. She does not have an education degree, has no teaching experience, has no experience working in a school environment, never attended public school or a state university, and did not send her own four children to public school.”

The Miller Place school district’s administration and board of education drafted and passed a resolution opposing DeVos’ appointment. Superintendent Marianne Cartisano addressed the appointment in an open letter on the district’s website.

“Our concerns are twofold,” she said.

“The first reservation we have is regarding the candidate’s lack of first-hand experience as an educator or administrator within the public school system. Since the majority of the children in the United States are currently being educated within the public school system, we feel that this experience is very important for an effective Secretary of Education.”

Cartisano elaborated on her other issues with DeVos. “Her record also shows a clear bias towards private, parochial and charter schools and the use of vouchers to attend these schools,” Cartisano said. “This bias leads us to our second overarching concern with Betsy DeVos as a candidate for Secretary of Education. The concern is that Betsy DeVos has been a strong advocate for the use of public funds to attend private schools through vouchers, and this would have a direct negative impact on our public school

The committee will vote to either approve or deny DeVos’ nomination Jan. 31.

Is it time to decommission the Electoral College?

By ReBecca anzel Donald Trump (R), after taking the oath of office on Jan. 20, became America’s 45th president — one of five in the nation’s history who won the office without receiving the popular vote. That fact has reignited a debate about whether the Electoral College is still the best method by which to elect a candidate to the highest office in the United States.

Built into the Constitution by America’s Founding Fathers and amended twice since, the Electoral College is the group that formally elects the president. Each state is awarded as many electors as it has number of senators and representatives in Congress — the District of Columbia gets three electors — and votes are mostly awarded in a winner-take-all system.

There have been several efforts over the past 50 years to amend the Constitution to reform the Electoral College. None have succeeded, in part, because the process has strict requirements: both the Senate and House need to pass a proposal by two-thirds majority to send it to the states, three-fourths of which would need to ratify the amendment.

But there may be another way to elect a president by popular vote.

The Constitution does not specify how states must award their electoral votes — it is a decision left to each state’s legislature.

One group is working to convince states to adopt a bill changing that method.

Called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, the legislation creates a coalition of states that agree to award their

Marsha Laufer, former Brookhaven Town electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate receives the popular vote country- Democratic Party chair, said she agrees the wide. It would not be activated until enough idea of “one person, one vote” is a powerful states sign on to total 270 electoral votes, one with the potential to alter the way Americans see and participate in national elections. the number necessary to elect a president.

ic and easily elected President Barack Obama (D) in 2012. Despite Republican voters in red states being “nearly as likely” as Democratic ones to want to change how a president is elected, lawmakers in those states seem not to want to pass the NPVIC legislation, Silver argued in a post on his website. And voters in battleground states are least motivated to join the coalition because those are where presidential candidates focus most of their campaign attentions.

Unless red states and a few purple ones also join the National Popular Vote agreement, it is improbable the coalition will be able to secure enough votes.

If, though, by 2020 the movement succeeded, the results of the election would most likely be challenged and brought before the Supreme Court. Koza’s argument is that the Constitution does not specify how states are to allocate their Electoral College votes. But there is a section of the document expressly prohibiting states from forming compacts with each other without Congress’s approval.

Called the Interstate Compact Clause, Article I, Section 10, states “no state shall, without the consent of Congress ... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another state.”

The clause is one of the reasons political leaders like Laufer favor changing the Electoral College, but by a constitutional amendment instead of state legislation.

“I believe in the stability and strength of our institutions and our Constitution, which needs to be interpreted,” Laufer said. “The Electoral College is an anachronism, but there has to be a consensus for change.”

HISTORY PERSPECTIVES The peaceful transition of power A peaceful transition of power

BY RICH ACRITELLI

“Your success is now our country’s success.”

George H.W. Bush (R) who lost a hotly contested election to Bill Clinton (D) in 1992, passed on this message to the incoming president. Bush lost a difficult campaign to Clinton, but wanted a smooth transition of power to the newly elected leader. Both men were opponents who were completely opposite from each other. Bush was a fighter pilot who flew off aircraft carriers in the Pacific during World War II, and Clinton was decisively against the United States involvement during the Vietnam War. Bush was a conservative president and vice president living in Texas who served under Ronald Reagan (R) for eight years, and Clinton was a liberal governor from Arkansas. While their political views often clashed, since both men left office, they have grown to become good friends. These one-time executive adversaries are immensely close, and Clinton now regards Bush’s wife, Barbara, as a second mother.

Little-known Vice President Harry S. Truman (D) from Missouri gained power after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) April 12, 1945. Right away Truman felt the immense burden of responsibility after learning about the tragic death of Roosevelt. When he asked the late president’s wife, Eleanor, what he could do to help her family, she asked, “Is there anything we can do for you? For you are the one in trouble now.”

Truman presided over the end of World War II, the start of the Cold War, a fledgling postwar economy, and a difficult re-election against New York Gov. Thomas Dewey (R).

Although Truman is remembered as an extremely capable president, he had the difficulties of serving after the trusted four-term leadership of Roosevelt and the “General of the Armies” Dwight D. Eisenhower (R).

During World War II, Eisenhower was rapidly promoted and given an immense amount of authority by Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Marshall, a highly regarded officer who became the architect of victory against Hitler in Europe. Outside of attaining a stellar record in the Army, Eisenhower’s only key blemish was his World War II affair with his driver Kay Summersby. After the war, he approached Marshall about the desire to divorce his wife and bring back his love interest to the U.S. Marshall took a heavy interest within Eisenhower’s career and he was seen as a second father to the future president. When the disciplinarianminded Marshall learned that Eisenhower wanted to send for Summersby, he told his subordinate that he would run him “out of the Army” and make it impossible for him ever to “draw a peaceful breath.”

Marshall later wrote a scathing report about Eisenhower’s infidelities that was destroyed by Truman before he left office.

Although Eisenhower and Truman did not have a warm relationship, Eisenhower stressed to Truman he could not believe how relentless the media was about his relationship with Summersby. Truman bluntly responded that if these were the only attacks against him by reporters, Eisenhower was immensely fortunate. Before he left office, Truman told the new leader he did not shred Marshall’s letter about Summersby to

personally protect Eisenhower. His outgoing priority was to preserve the honor of the executive branch and its new leader, President-elect Eisenhower.

Currently, some of the cabinet nominations of President-elect Donald Trump (R) are facing scrutiny by Congress. Many previous presidents have endured political obstacles during this process. Clinton found it a chore to fulfill the attorney general position, as the first two candidates withdrew from being considered. George H.W. Bush watched as John Tower, his pick for secretary of defense in 1989 was not approved for the job. Personal allegations apart, the U.S. Senate did not like Tower’s connections to the national defense industry because they said it was a conflict of interest that could not be overlooked. It was the first time in 30 years the Senate refused to confirm a presidential cabinet appointment.

In 1980, Reagan faced scrutiny over Jackie Presser, later president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, who was believed to have ties to organized crime. Presser was a labor adviser to Reagan’s transitional team, and the Democrats were outraged by possible connections of corruption. The choice of Jimmy Carter (D) for the Central Intelligence Agency, Theodore Sorensen, withdrew his own name in 1977 due to the onslaught of resentment waged against the former World War II conscientious objector. Many members of the intelligence and military communities were concerned that he was too much of an outsider who wanted to reform the CIA’s overall mission of gathering vital information during the height of the Cold War. Historically speaking, the time between the election and inauguration, a period of uncertainty, has impacted every leader since the days of George Washington.

These triumphs and failures are realistic issues that must be accepted by our leaders before they enter the Oval Office. This will be no different for Trump when he is sworn in Friday in front of the nation by Chief Justice John Roberts during an inauguration that will be watched by the world.

Our first president once said, “The peaceful transition of power is what will separate this country from every other country in the world.” George Washington’s words remain vitally important and true to this day. I was honored and privileged to sit on the podium to witness history as the outgoing 44th president of the United States handed off his title and position to the incoming 45th president of our great nation.

I was very pleased that so many 1st Congressional District residents made the trip to the Capitol to participate in this time honored tradition. Inauguration Day of a new president is a celebration of freedom and liberty, much more than a celebration of a political victory. For that reason, I was deeply disap-

pointed that dozens of members of Congress opted to boycott the ceremony altogether. My message to them is that you do not have to celebrate President Trump’s election in order to participate in this transfer of power, especially when their followers, as well as the rest of the world, are watching.

While the 2016 election cycle was dramatic and polarizing, we must unite as Americans to find common ground wherever possible. There will always be differences which separate us, whether they are ideological or geographical, but we must remember that we are all Americans. If we are to make progress, we must work to find unity however we can for the benefit of our nation. A new year, new president and new Congress provides limitless opportunities to move our country forward in a better direction. As leaders, we have dedicated ourselves to pursuing a better course for our nation, and we should give President Trump a chance to succeed and work with him wherever there are mutual goals to be achieved on behalf of our fellow citizens.

Inauguration Day 2017 was the first presidential inauguration that I have experienced in person and it will be a memory to last a lifetime, because leaders of all stripes were on that stage together to celebrate everything that makes our nation the greatest nation in the world.

My favorite moments from inauguration weekend

BY JAMES MOORE I went to the 2017 presidential inauguration as an alumnus of the Junior National Young Leadership Conference. I was excited to be involved in a significant part of history.

However, the swearing in ceremony wasn’t the only highlight of my five-day experience.

On my second and fourth day in Washington, D.C. I had the chance to witness speakers such as Paul Begala from CNN, General Colin Powell and actor and director Spike Lee. The inauguration Friday was jam-packed and required us to be up by 4 a.m. at the latest. We had to walk about 1.5 miles from where our buses were parked in order to go around the Washington Monument and take

a break at the Smithsonian Institution. Then, there was the walk to the National Mall.

Following the inauguration ceremony we, as a group, focused on how our generation will impact the future. We were split into delegation groups by topics and my group was focused on health care, disease and the world of tomorrow. I had a lot of fun working with this group of scholars and I’m proud to be able to say they’re my friends. I managed to make friends from Florida, Virginia, Kentucky, North Dakota, Missouri and many more. We all hope to stay in touch and maybe even meet up at the next Inauguration!

Students at Miller Place High School recently came together to discuss the importance of mental health in adolescence and share tips on how to support their friends and peers. Student Assistance Counselor Lisa Aitken coordinated a panel of students to meet with the student body in smaller groups and share a presentation, “How to Help a Friend.” Following the panel, students discussed critical mental health aspects, including suicide awareness and prevention. This program is part of a district initiative to raise mental health awareness and support district students.

Noah Blunnie’s project took place at

Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck in Center Moriches. Seven benches that surround the fire pit were in need of replacement. Under Blunnie’s direction, new benches were designed and constructed using mahogany, stainless steel hardware and heavy-duty aluminum frames.

William Loper did work at Camp De Wolfe in Wading River. Cabins at the camp are in need of constant care, and Loper scraped off old paint on a cabin, pressure washed it and gave it a fresh coat of paint.

Vincent Uzzi provided storage space for a veteran’s home in North Bellport using an old shed from Gera Gardens.

Kyle Wrigley’s project also enhanced the grounds of Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck. The storage area needed to be secluded from a neighboring property.

Shoreham-Wading River track star Katherine Lee has broken another record.

On Jan. 15, she set a new Suffolk County indoor 3,000-meter time at the Art Mitchell Invitational at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood.

Lee, a junior, broke the record of 9 minutes, 48 seconds, set by Mary Kate Anselmini of Ward Melville in 2011, by completing the race in 9:37.77.

This is not the first time that Lee, who has been running varsity track since seventh grade, has topped. This past fall, she broke the Suffolk County 5K record and last spring the 3,000 outdoor record for Suffolk County.

“I was really happy,” Lee said of her recent achievement. “It all just came together — I broke all the long distance records.”

He said he focused to be able to bring home the gold.

“Even before I step on the mat I’m always focused on wrestling, nothing else distracts me,” he said. “I put in a lot of work in the off-season, so it really shows how much you can get out of the work you put in.”

Joey Evangelista edged Half Hollow Hills West’s Joe Costa, 3-0, for his title at 145 pounds. He pinned his first three opponents, but said his finals match was tough.

“My coaches have preached mentality is everything, so I’ve been working on strengthening that,” he said.

According to head coach Mike Maletta, the junior has been a finalist in every tournament this season, and won two.

“As long as they both stay aggressive and take smart shots and pushing the pace, they’re going to be real successful in three weeks when they’re up in Albany,” Maletta said of the possibility of the Royals competing for state titles. “The excitement is that some guys are starting to exceed expectations.”

Centereach finished in seventh with 93

points. Jett Tancsik outscored his Half Hollow Hills West opponent 9-4, for the 160-pound championship title.

Centereach head coach Ray Bruno said he was pleased with his team’s performance. He said the tournament is a good tune up to get ready for the Cougars’ matches in the League III tournament.

Rounding out the scorers in the top 9 were No. 8 Harborfields with 88 points, and Comsewogue with 39.

According to Matt Armstrong, his father coached at Port Jefferson from 1969 to 1990, where they were league champions for eight years and won the New York State championship cup in 1986.

“They had some very successful teams here at the time,” he said. “It’s great to come back here as I see a lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time. Many of the kid’s parents wrestled for my dad. This is probably the 10th year for this tournament and I appreciate them doing it keeping my dad’s memory alive, it’s Mike Maletta who keeps it going, and he does a great job.”

On Kevin’s wings Continued from page A3 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 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 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 of this whole journey is my will to live back.”

McErlean called Farrell when he reached 90 — nick Mcerlean 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.

“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.

‘i’m a suicide survivor, and the biggest thing that i’ve gotten out of this whole journey is my will to live back.’

Tracey Farrell’s children Breanna and Kevin. Kevin died of an overdose, leading to Farrell becoming an advocate for awareness and support for addicts. Her daughter is currently a recovering addict who, like Nick McErlean, received help from being sent off of Long Island.

“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 fundraising 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.”

Hundreds flock to Port Jeff Station for Women’s March

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com While millions across the globe took part in the Women’s March on Washington, and other sister marches Jan. 21, hundreds met on the corner of Route 347 and Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station to make their voices heard.

“The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized and threatened many of us — immigrants of all statuses, Muslims and those of diverse religious faiths, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, black and brown people, people with disabilities, survivors of sexual assault — and our communities are hurting and scared,” the Women’s March website, established to organize the marches, said in its mission statement.

Community members who attended the event from across the North Shore reiterated many of those concerns during the march in Port Jefferson Station, which according to the site was the only affiliated sister march on Long Island.

“Getting out here in unity and letting our voices be heard is crucial,” Port Jefferson resident Kathy Lahey said over a megaphone to those in attendance. Lahey said she was responsible for organizing the sister march, getting the word out and getting it officially rec-

ognized as an affiliate on the website. “We are all in this together. Together we will fight for equality, for fairness and for justice. I wanted to say something today to make all of the anxiety, the anger and fear go away, but that’s not going to happen. It shouldn’t happen because times are rough and the current circumstances call for anxiety, anger and fear.”

Women, men and children of all ages, races and backgrounds were represented at the Women’s March on Washington. The

march and affiliated marches were intentionally scheduled to be an immediate response to the inauguration Jan. 20 of President Donald Trump (R) as a means to combat what participants view as his alienating rhetoric during the campaign and since his election victory, as well as to voice opposition to several policies on his agenda and nominations for his cabinet. Health care, equal rights, demanding the release of the president’s tax returns and immigration policy were among the topics most frequently referenced by signs and chants by attendees.

President Trump addressed the worldwide marches through his personal Twitter account.

“Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don’t always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views,” he said Jan. 22, though earlier he tweeted that if all present had gone out and voted they may have been heard sooner.

Many in attendance said they weren’t sure what to expect when they decided to attend, but were blown away by the unity and solidarity they felt upon arriving.

“My initial reaction when I pulled up was I burst into tears because I’m sad that we have to be here, but in the end I’m left feeling very empowered because even though the road to progress is a jagged road, in the end love will always win,” Daniela McKee of Setauket said.

McKee said she is a teacher, and brought her own kids with her to experience the event. “I think it’s important that they learn from a very early age that they have to fight for what they believe in and for their rights and equality.”

Joyce Edward a resident of Jefferson Ferry, who is in her 90s, shared her reasons for marching.

“We’re going so far back, it’s sad,” she said.

“I think it is important and I hope that maybe our Congress people will pay attention. I don’t think Mr. Trump will. He pays attention to one person: himself.”

Edward added that her deep concern for where the country is headed for her children and grandchildren inspired her to get out and participate.

She questioned if 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), who has been a vocal Trump supporter since he emerged as the Republican presidential candidate, would be an advocate for those unhappy with the president’s beliefs and proposed policies.

“If he’s behind Trump then I’m not behind him,” Jeff Schroeder of Greenport also said of Zeldin. “It scares me that someone so far off

WOmen’s march Continued from page A17 from the ideologies of people I know is running our district.”

Zeldin addressed the march in an emailed statement through a spokeswoman.

“2017 presents new opportunities to improve our community, state and nation,” he said. “To move our country forward, unity amongst the American people is the most critical necessity. Ideological differences will always exist, but the pursuit of common ground must be the highest priority. In Congress, I have always been and remain willing to work with absolutely anyone to find common ground on anything wherever and whenever possible.”

U.S. Sen. and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was among those marching in New York City.

“Thank you to all the New Yorkers, Americans and people in NY, Washington, and all

Port Jefferson Station played host to its own Women’s March Jan. 21 to oppose the inflammatory rhetoric of President Donald Trump (R) and some of his proposed policies. Those who couldn’t make it to Washington, D.C., or New York City met at the corner of Route 347 and Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station to peacefully voice their displeasure with what they’ve heard from the new administration. over the world who laced up your shoes today,” he said in an email. “It was only the beginning.”

Several marchers said they were encouraged by the overwhelming support the large crowd provided for them.

“It’s so heartening that people realize that they can actually be involved in changing things in government,” Sherry Eckstein of Huntington said.

Allyson Matwey of Wading River expressed a similar sentiment.

“I did not know what to expect coming here today, and I’m just in awe that there’s men, women, children — all ages, all everything here today, and it’s amazing,” she said.

Mitchell Riggs of Middle Island attended the local march with two of his children, while his wife attended the New York City march.

“We just need to be heard — the frustra-

tion about what’s going on,” he said. “I have a daughter. I have a wife … it can’t get worse in my mind.”

While addressing the crowd, Lahey stressed the importance of seeing the march as the beginning of a movement, and not a solitary event.

“President Obama also said at his farewell speech that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged and come together to demand it,” she said. “And here we are — hundreds, maybe thousands — standing together on a street corner in solidarity, a group of ordinary people getting involved, getting engaged, demanding that our servants do what we hired them to do. … Contact your representatives on a regular basis. … Let them know we are here, we are involved, we are engaged and we are not going away.”

Letters to the editor

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin on election night after his and Donald Trump’s big victories.

File photo by Alex Petroski

A letter to U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin Stock photo

Responsibility beyond our ballots Do you suppose the Founding Fathers intended democracy to be a spectator sport, or did they envision a country filled with informed citizens willing to actively participate in a representative government?

Whatever their intent, we have come to a point in our history when it behooves us to speak up. We must let our voices be heard — not just when we cast our votes on Election Day — but whenever we need to let our representatives know what we think about proposed legislation or policy initiatives or nominations for important positions.

Politicians need to be told what’s important to us. Especially the “deal-breaker” issues about which we feel there can be no leeway.

Call our Congress members. Whether we voted for them or not, they are still our spokesperson in the House of Representatives. Call our senators. If we agree or disagree with them, they need to be told. We can call politicians in states other than New York and share our pride in their stance on an issue, or our dismay. Call our governor. Andrew Cuomo (D) needs to know if we think he’s on the right track. Giving our names and ZIP codes will create logged calls, registering our opinions. And if enough of us express a particular view, it will, hopefully, affect a decision.

Everyone needs to realize that voting is not just a right — it’s a responsibility. Some say if we don’t vote we forfeit our right to complain.

Well we believe in taking that philosophy one step further. Our responsibility doesn’t end when our ballots are cast. We need to remain involved in our American democracy to ensure that our country is the kind of place we want it to be.

Pay attention. Stay informed. Make those calls.

Let me first say that I continue to hope that President Trump brings back good paying jobs to the middle class. And I hope you work with him to bring those jobs to Long Island, along with health care for everyone as Trump promised last week.

But in the president’s first full day in office, I am very disturbed by his blatant lies. Let’s just talk about the size of the inauguration audience. On Saturday he said, “Honestly it looked like a million and a half people,” while most reports are approximately 250,000.

Trump doubled down with his press secretary Sean Spicer who continued this lie, stating, “The largest audience to ever witness an inauguration” and his spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway,

who later stated that Spicer was presenting “alternative facts.” To help propagate these lies, Trump ordered the National Park Service to stop reporting on the actual size of the audience.

The response to these lies was swift from the media – including Fox News. Here is Chris Wallace from Fox News Sunday: “OK, you talk about honesty and say that this was about honesty. Well, there’s another issue here, though, and that is the president’s honesty, because two things that he said yesterday were just flat wrong.” MerriamWebster Dictionary also tweeted to Conway that there are no alternatives to facts.

My great fear is that Trump is engaged in what can only

be labeled a “misinformation campaign” aimed at helping him alone be the “guardian of the truth.” This is exactly the type of totalitarian behavior our forefathers revolted against, and this is why we have a free press protected by the First Amendment to our constitution.

Trump’s blatant disregard for the truth and for the free press should be upsetting and threatening to every American. Where are you, our representative, Mr. Zeldin? Why are you not standing up against this misinformation and press-shaming? You are supposed to represent us, the people; and at the very least stand for truth.

Trump can’t compare to previous presidents In response to the writer of “Welcome to a legitimate President Trump” (Jan. 19) I beg to differ on quite a few counts.

I heard the voice of my dearly departed mother, who was extremely wise and politically savvy, while listening to every speech Trump gave and every ridiculous promise that he made.

She always advised me to respect myself as a woman (and a human being) and to stand up for what I believe in.

Well Mr. Kerr and those who accept what you have written, I do not concede to the presidency of Donald Trump, nor will I ever.

You cannot possibly compare this farce to the presidencies of Kennedy, Carter, Nixon, Johnson or even Gerald Ford. Although all

imperfect in their own ways, you cannot compare their presidential legacies to the predetermined theme of the man who will be in office on Jan. 20. The man who denigrates women, instigates violence among protesters, dehumanizes immigrants, stomps on the Constitution (while not understanding a word of it) and plans to destroy every bit of progress made by the Obama administration, is not the man that I want running my country.

This alternate universe that we currently live in where cabinet choices are made by picking out of a hat and tweets are sent with the same cavalier attitude that ended his marriages, this is not a reality that I choose to accept.

Call me crazy, but it took long

enough for one Cold War to end, and Putin is just salivating at the thought of sharing the political stage with the Man with the Orange Skin.

And quoting Richard Nixon does not instill a “runs like a Swiss watch” feeling about the incoming administration.

Call a spade a spade: Trump is the least qualified, most horrific person that has ever been “elected” to the White House by our outdated, imperfect electoral process. Should he last through the next four years, I will be doing everything in my power to make sure there is a different outcome in 2020.

OpiniOn Signs of a protesting people

W

atch out, Madison Avenue!

People everywhere are gunning for your jobs.

Well, maybe people don’t want advertising and marketing jobs, but they do want to express themselves in ways guaranteed by the Constitution.

How could the Founding Fathers have known that the war with words, on words and of words would require an ability of people on both sides to understand that each of them has a right to speak?

The Women’s March, the day

By Daniel Dunaief after the inauguration, was a spectacle. People from around the nation, indeed the world, took considerable time to write, design and share signs about any and

every issue important to them.

People are searching for the words to share their convictions.

One sign read, “Without Hermione, Harry would have died,” referring to the brilliant friend of Harry Potter whose smarts helped Harry survive despite numerous murderous attempts

by Voldemort.

Another sign suggested, “So bad, even introverts are here.”

The president’s hair, a subject for television discussion well before the commander in chief left for the White House, made it onto several signs, with “We shall overcomb,” offering one of many toupee moments.

Whether the Trump administration recognizes or addresses it, we are a nation divided and, no, that’s not a statement about the size of the crowd at the inauguration. Who cares? If not a single person attended the inauguration, do you know what we would be calling Donald Trump? President.

I understand that and so do all those people writing signs, discussing the future direction of the country

and arguing over the internet. I know Trump and his team seem disillusioned with the media. The president can’t stand the way he’s covered, but plenty of past presidents no doubt could relate to his discomfort.

Trump has tried to ostracize the media, going straight to the people with his creatively spelled Twitter messages.

One woman used Trump’s penchant for direct messages with a sign saying, “Tweet women with respect.”

Trump continues to make the argument about the number of people who voted for him. Can someone please tell him he won the election?

By walking side-by-side in marches, people aren’t sitting comfortably at home typing angry computer messages: They’re sharing their views and are traveling to see people “in real life.”

This is not — to borrow from Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” — “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” These are people sharing a message they hope others and, in particular, the administration, hears and understands.

Trump didn’t get to the White House propelled by the hopes of these sign makers. He won the votes of millions who believed in him.

He wants to make America great again. He and his voters have red hats to prove it. That’s great and maybe the sale of red hats will be sufficient to create more jobs, just as his office has increased the sale of poster boards, crayons, markers and block-lettering kits through these marches.

No doubt, Trump, his team and many other Americans will come up with great slogans and catchy one-liners to offset the marchers’ messages.

What will bring us together? Maybe there’ll be a moment similar to the one in the movie “Miracle,” which was about the improbable Olympics victory by the United States hockey team at Lake Placid in 1980. As these players bonded, they learned that they weren’t playing for their schools but, rather, were representing their country.

The Founding Fathers may have created a slogan that’s hard to top: We the People.

Words of wisdom for all generations

D

o you ever wish you had asked for advice about life from older members of the family or friends who have now passed away? I certainly do. Like an inheritance, advice that has withstood the test of time can make the life of the beneficiary easier. Hence the clever idea, by an assisted living community on Long Island, of producing a distributable calendar filled with some of the wisdom of its residents was immediately interBy Leah S. Dunaief esting to me. The Gurwin JewishFay J. Lindner Residences, located in Commack, collected the thoughts of one person or couple in the community for each month and named the project “From Generation to Generation 2017.”

As the calendar states in the introduction, “The advice contained in

Between you and me

these pages … is priceless, and made all the more meaningful because of the life experiences that season [the residents’] words of wisdom.”

The January advice comes from Gerald Burberry, who was sent to England on the Kindertransport — also known as Children’s Transport — during World War II and was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust. Gerald focuses on the beauty in life through the lens of his camera and is an enthusiastic nature photographer. He and his wife have visited as many U.S. National Parks as they could in pursuit of his goal to “appreciate nature.”

Janet Munday adorns February and urges everyone to “blaze new trails.”

She was a computer engineering major at Hofstra, one of few women at the time, and also played the bass guitar in a cover band and traveled to Italy just to learn Italian.

Others, like Helen and Mel Morgenstein, who are wedded 73 years, offer this advice to married couples: “Respect each other.” Mel adds, “Respect your differences, and have your own interests. It makes for a much

better life together.” Mary Falcone says, “Cherish family.” She has four daughters, 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, “They’re wonderful,” she declares and she sees them regularly. “Their heart is my heart.”

Florence Levenbaum, who is 91, loves to dance. She urges, “Keep moving and smile.” For her, movement and good humor are the keys to good health. She posed for her photo in the calendar carrying a Wilson wooden tennis racket over her shoulder.

Further advice includes “Pursue your passions” from Stewart Greene, a devoted lifetime sailor; “Keep learning” from Sandra Peltz, a former registrar at Hofstra who feels she learns from each new person she meets; and “Be independent” from Ruth Kaufman, who doesn’t worry about what others might think and say. “Use common sense!” urges Edwin Zola, who feels that people could find a way to end war and suffering if they would treat others as they would like to be treated, adding, “This just makes sense.” And Sidney Klein speaks proudly about serving one’s country, as he did during WWII.

to those younger than you? I asked that question of some of the newspaper staff, and here is what they offered.

“Live in the moment,” said one.

“And enjoy the moment.” Another counseled, “Don’t put it off,” whether a task, a career move or a relationship.

“Anticipate life’s many stages,” suggested another. “Be yourself, don’t be afraid to be who you really are rather than trying to please others,” is one piece of advice one mother had just shared with her daughter. Another mother offered, “Enjoy your childhood.

You are only a child once.” And how about this one for your children? “We were young once too!”

Some others included, “Work hard, play hard and include balance in your life,” “Be kind,” “Stick together with family,” “Hang around with happy people,” and this timely bit for today’s world, “Be entrepreneurial.”

You might ask what words I would offer the next generations. My advice: “Have courage.” Have the courage to be the person you want to be, to do the things you most wish to do, to go to the places you yearn to see, and to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
