Addiction is a disease If you have a son, daughter, or loved one struggling with addiction and don’t know who to call, who to reach out to, or what to do, help is available at the Bates House in Setauket Jan. 22 at 7 p.m.

Today’s typical heroin addict starts using before age 22 and is more likely to live in the affluent suburbs. The addict may have unwittingly been led to heroin through painkillers that were prescribed by his or her doctor.

One of the four remaining cottages at West Meadow Beach has a collapsed roof and is a virtual zombie house, orphaned by a lack of interest.

West Meadow cottage: zombie of a different kind

BY DONNA NEWMAN DONNA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM After demolition of the 52nd zombie house by the Town of Brookhaven in Sound Beach last month, the town had fulfilled Supervisor Ed Romaine’s (R) mission to tear down one home a week in 2016. But there are other eyesores that have yet to be addressed.

While abandoned houses in the community are eligible for demolition, the Town had taken no action to prevent Townowned cottages at West Meadow Beach from deteriorating.

Under legislation sponsored by state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and former state Senator James Lack (R), which was signed into law in 1996, Brookhaven Town officials had agreed to maintain responsibility for the preservation of the beach and the four cottages designated to be used for security or educational uses..

Following a Nov. 24 article in the Village Times Herald titled, “A look at West Meadow Beach — 12 years post-cottages,” East Setauket resident and community activist Pam Botway wrote a letter to the newspaper asking about the condition of the remaining cottages at West Meadow Beach.

“I inquired with the town after noticing the roof caved in on one of the cottages,” she said. “It seems there is a lease agreement between the Three Village Community Trust and the town, in place since 2010.

[I’m wondering] why have the cottages turned into zombie houses in the past six

years when there is $1.45 million in the bank to maintain them?”

Botway said the Town claimed it has no access to the trust’s funds to make necessary repairs.

While the Town had a five-year license agreement with Three Village Community Trust for the Gamecock Cottage, which commenced in 2010, Town public information officer Jack Krieger said there are no leases for the other cottages.

The endowment fund created by the legislation currently contains $1.45 million, according to the Department of Finance, but only the interest accrued may be used for the property’s upkeep. At today’s rates, interest on the account generates about $2,000 a year, not nearly enough to achieve proper maintenance.

In an interview conducted in November, Englebright theorized that after the Stony Brook Community Fund became The Ward Melville Heritage Organization, and the new entity declined to handle responsibilities spelled out in the legislation, that left the endowment an orphan. As there was no one to oversee the proper application of the account’s interest, the cottages have been neglected.

Until such time as the endowment is actively managed, and some person or group is keeping track, things will remain the same.

“It may be time for a public/private partnership vision to be pursued,” Englebright said. “A not-for-profit operating the Nature Center in conjunction with the Town [would be preferable to what exists now].”

The Friends of Flax Pond begin winter lecture series

By NaNcy GraNt The first presentation of the 14th Annual Winter Lecture Series will be held Sunday, Jan. 15 at 2 p.m. at Childs Mansion on Shore Drive in Setauket. Light refreshments will be served. While there is no cost to attend, donations are always gratefully accepted.

The Friends of Flax Pond are pleased to kick off our winter series with a talk by Grace Scalzo, nature photographer and author, who will share her observations of the natural behaviors of our local “Piping Plovers on the Beach.”

Scalzo utilizes photography to capture the beauty of nature in ways that usually cannot be observed by the naked eye.

Her talk will build a greater appreciation for the beauty of this endangered species and the fragility of its survival on our local beaches.

Scalzo is an avid nature photographer whose images have received numerous awards and have been published by North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) and Nature’s Best magazine, two highly acclaimed nature and wildlife photography community publications. She will have books available for purchase and signing.

Arrowhead third-graders are reading detectives during a reading/ writing unit.

Arrowhead Elementary School thirdgraders went undercover this winter to become reading detectives as they worked to build strong reading fluency skills during a reading and writing unit of study.

Within the project, students learned how to properly read mysteries, including how to look for clues within the writing and on the jacket of the book.

They also learned how to make predictions about suspects as a result of their

demonstrated motives and opportunities. Through read alouds and silent reading, students took notes of clues that would help them solve the problem and worked to put the pieces of the puzzle together before the detectives in the story did.

Throughout the day, teachers created clues for classroom activities that students solved using strategies they learned in the reading and writing unit.

WM students tops in science

Ward Melville High School seniors Albert Liu, Kirti Nath, Kavya Tangella and Nestor Tkachenko captured top science accolades in January and were named 2017 Regeneron Science Talent Search Scholars in recognition of their work on complex science research topics.

From a pool of 1,750 students 300 were selected as 2017 scholars; each of them received a $2,000 scholarship and a matching $2,000 donation for their school.

Later this month 40 finalists will be named to participate in final judging in March in Washington, D.C. Students will display their work to the public, meet with scientists and compete for awards, including the top prize of $250,000.

The Regeneron Science Talent Search, a program of the Society for Science and the Public, is the nation’s most prestigious precollege science competition. Formerly known as the Intel Science Talent Search, students at this level were semifinalists.

Liu, whose project was titled “Anomaly

Detection in Time Series of Dependent Stochastic Block Model Graphs” worked under the direction of a mentor at Johns Hopkins University. He is planning to study computer science at Carnegie Mellon University this fall.

The other three scholars worked under the tutelage of mentors at Stony Brook University. Nath–––, whose project was “Assessing the Developmental and Metabolic Toxicity of Neuroactive Pharmaceuticals Using Early Life Stage Zebrafish (Danio rerio),” plans to study economics and life science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Tangella, who worked on “Hearing Sounds, and the Illusion of Seeing LongerLasting Shapes,” will attend Johns Hopkins University and is leaning toward studying neuroscience.

Tkachenko, whose project was called “Can Cars Fly? Eddy Current Levitation as Viable Technology,” is undecided on which college he will attend but is looking to study engineering physics.

Setauket Fire Department members elect chiefs

By Donna newman Donna@tBrnewspapers.com Incoming Chief of the Setauket Fire Department William Rohr and his three assistant chiefs took office Jan. 1. First Assistant Chief Paul Rodier, Second Assistant Chief Scot Gressin and Third Assistant Chief Ritchie Leute, all seasoned veterans of the department, will share leadership responsibility with Rohr for the 160 department members who volunteer their time to serve the community. The membership voted last month to elect the men who will lead them for the next two years.

Public information officer Larry Hall provided biographical information about the new chiefs.

Chief Rohr is a transfer from the Stony Brook Fire Department, having moved to the Setauket Fire Department 17 years ago after relocating. He currently works in the Fire Marshall’s office of the New York City Fire Department and also worked at many different department-related jobs over the years.

First Assistant Chief Paul Rodier

grew up in Setauket and has been a member of the department for 21 years. He is an auto, truck and heavy equipment mechanic and the owner of Competition Auto, a local business.

Second Assistant Chief Scot Gressin comes from a firefighting family. He had prior service in Nassau County, before joining the department 14 years ago. A physician’s assistant by occupation, he brings a background of medical skills to the job.

Third Assistant Chief Ritchie Leute has been with the department for 30 years and served as chief for two years beginning in 1999. At the end of his term, he reentered the ranks. Raised in Setauket, he is a highway supervisor for Brookhaven Town. Now that his children are grown and he has more time to give to the community, he decided to run again.

All four men have come up through the ranks, serving terms as lieutenants and captains first, then moving into the progression from third assistant chief up to chief.

According to its website, the

Setauket Fire District is one of the largest on Long Island. It covers an area of approximately 28 square

‘In a fire or medical emergency dialing direct 631-941-4441 gets you the fastest response.’

— Paul Rodier miles, encompassing the hamlets of Setauket, East Setauket as well as parts of Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, Port Jefferson Station, Lake Grove and Centereach. The district also provides fire rescue and emergency services to the Village of Old Field, Stony Brook University Hospital and 90 percent of the Stony Brook University main campus.

The territory includes 30 miles of beach front, requiring specialized training for water rescue; the university and university hospital, requiring training specific to highrise fires; and Nicolls Road, where traffic exceeds 35,000 vehicles every 24 hours.

There are more than 700 businesses, seven schools and four assisted living facilities/nursing homes within the district’s borders — as well as a daytime population in excess of 90,000 people.

The commitment necessary to be a firefighter or EMT is massive, said Hall, noting that a great deal of training is required. Some new recruits find the requirements overwhelming.

“Those that can do it turn out to be pretty darn good,” Hall said.

The department is one of the busiest on Long Island as well. “Last year [we] responded to 3,499 calls,” Hall said in an interview. “That’s about 10 calls a day, of which approximately 2,500 were calls for ambulances and the rest were accidents, fire alarms and actual fires.”

The department has four ambu-

Follow us on Twitter: @TBRNewspapers

lances: one at each of the firehouses and two at Nicolls Road. Although the department’s firefighters and emergency medical technicians are almost all volunteers, the department employs an emergency response ambulance team that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, he said. The team includes a paramedic with advanced life support training.

Dispatchers, who work shifts around the clock, are also paid employees, he added.

Rodier wanted residents of the district, who can identify their fire district by checking their real estate tax bill, to know that direct dialing can save time — and lives.

“We start at the grade school level, fire safety instruction begins in kindergarten,” he said. “We give orange stickers to the kids to have their parents attach to their telephones. In a fire or medical emergency, dialing direct — 631941-4441 — gets you the fastest response.”

Ward Melville’s defense stifles Commack in win

By Bill landon Ward Melville led from the opening tipoff, and despite a late push by Commack’s boys’ basketball team, which pulled within nine points late in the third quarter, the Patriots maintained the advantage and won 57-41. With the win, the Patriots remain tied atop the League I leaderboard.

The Patriots came out fast, and quickly jumped out to a 13-4 lead midway through the first quarter, prompting a Commack timeout. Ward Melville’s defense swarmed, looking as if there was an extra man on the court.

The shot clock worked against the Cougars, which struggled to let the ball loose in time.

Ward Melville senior Noah Kepes had the hot hand early, scoring three three-pointers in the opening quarter, and classmate Dom Pryor pitched in two field goals and a threepointer of his own, to help the Patriots to a 20-6 lead at the end of eight minutes.

Kepes said his team’s focus is always defense first.

“We’re just hungry on defense,” he said.

“Everyday in practice we work on these drills — whoever’s on the floor first is going to get the ball first, so it’s that kind of the mentality.

When they began to make their push coach told us they were going to do that, and how

Ward Melville 57 Commack 41

you react to that push is who’s going to come out with the win.”

Commack countered with four unanswered points, but again the shot clock expired, turning the ball over to the Patriots.

With just over three minutes left in the half, Commack senior Christian Volatile fell.

Injured on the play, he sat out the remainder of the game.

Commack sophomore Aiden Keenan went the free-throw line shooting two and banked both points, but the Patriots answered back and then some, when senior Matt Hudzik drained a three, as Ward Melville edged ahead 25-14 by halftime.

The Patriots’ defense remained unrelenting. The Cougars still couldn’t get the ball to the rim, and turned the ball over as the 35-second shot clock expired.

Ward Melville head coach Alex Piccirillo said he likes what he saw.

“On the defensive end we communicated well, we rotated well, we switched on screens; so we did everything we needed to do on that end,” Piccirillo said. “We struggled offensively from time to time, every team will go on a scoring run, it’s how we weather it and how we stop it that’s important.”

The fouls began to eat up the final minutes of the third quarter, and momentum shifted Commack’s way.

Keenan sank four field goals and a pair of free throws, and with help from senior Ryan Donohue, who added four points, the Cou-

gars pulled within nine, 37-28.

“Ward Melville’s a good team and they’ve got a lot of guys who can knock down the outside shot, so we tried to plan for that, but unfortunately, we left some guys open in the first half,” Commack head coach Peter Smith said. “We adjusted nicely in the second quarter. We did OK in the third, but their defense is very good.”

It would be as close a Commack would come.

At 6 feet, 7 inches, the big man for the Patriots, junior Alex Sobel, battled in the paint muscling his way to the rim, scoring three times. Sobel went to the charity stripe three times too, and never missed.

“We knew they’re a good team, especially the last two years,” Sobel said of Commack.

“We came out strong and held a little gap.

We got a little worried when they got close in third quarter, but we picked it up and closed the game out strong.”

Hudzik hit a field goal, Pryor swished a three-pointer and sophomore Ray Grabowski banked a field goal along with a free-throw point to close out the scoring for the Patriots.

With the win, Ward Melville improves to 9-2 overall and 5-0 in league play, sharing the top spot with Brentwood.

Sobel topped the scoreboard for the Ward Melville with 20 points and Kepes tacked on 15. Keenan led the scoring for Commack with 12 points and Donohue finished with nine.

With the loss, Commack drops to 5-5 over-

all and 1-4 in the league.

“We’ll put this game behind us quickly,” Smith said. “We have practice tomorrow and we have to rebound. We need to get a home win against Pat-Med.” Commack hosts Patchogue-Medford Jan. 12 at 5:45 p.m. Ward Melville will travel to William Floyd Jan. 13. Tipoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

OpiniOn Editorial

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin greets veterans.

Letters to the editor

File photo

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A snow plow clears the road during a storm.

Photo from Town of Brookhaven

Understanding the work of a plower First snow of the season and I am happy to say I’ve had many new potential customers contact me.

I meet two types of people in need of snow removal. Those who do and don’t understand that, unlike in other businesses, I can’t be in different places at the same time. Most customers cannot be first, but generally, they’re happy to see us — are even okay that we woke them in the wee hours, clearing their driveways, cars and walkways.

I can usually get to everyone within six hours of an average snowfall, although through human error, we have been known to forget part of a route, and for that I generally give a free plow after taking over 24 hours to get to a contracted, long-standing account.

Then, there’s the customer I meet who calls the day before a storm, or as the snow is falling, and wants a price over the phone, and for me to plow their driveway sight unseen and without installing markers. Then, if I am not there as soon as the snow stops, I get repeat phone calls and angry texts because I “failed”

to keep my end of the contract — a contract they may or may not have even received yet, because I’ve not had time to make one at the last minute.

I am far from perfect. My employees and I have made mistakes — from forgetting to clear a walkway or mailbox, to forgetting to clean off a senior’s car, to missing a customer completely either because they are brand new or because we’d been working 18 hours with no sleep and needed to get home to catch some shut-eye before going back out for another 12 hours or more.

I want people to understand that I try my very best to enable everyone to get out of their homes and to their jobs. I’ve been known to break my route if a senior calls with an emergency — or advanced warning of a doctor’s appointment that can’t be missed.

Time is of the essence. Most people want to be out of the house between 6 and 8 a.m. I can do that if the snow stops by midnight. But if it starts at 4 a.m. and is coming down at an inch or more per hour, I’m obligated

to keep my commercial accounts open. Businesses pay me to plow every two inches to ensure they stay open and customers are safe.

Residential accounts pay for me to clear their driveways and walkways according to how many inches reported by the National Weather Service. Yet I’ve had people who refuse to pay for an entire season because I only plowed once per storm. They feel I only deserve $50 each time; whether I clear six or 23 inches.

If you sign a contract, I must assume you’ve read it. I’ll do my best to uphold my end and I expect you to uphold yours.

I also have customers who bake cookies, or make us quarts of hot soup — or tip my shovelers at the door. I get many thank you texts from people who are just glad we made it through.

If people would just take a moment to see the business through my eyes, I’d hope they’d understand it’s impossible to please every customer all the time, though I sincerely wish I could.

Lesson learned pending trip to doctor In response to Publisher Leah Dunaief’s Jan. 5 column “A s-ticky start to 2017,” I, too, found what I thought might be a tick, in my case, on my leg.

Anxious to learn if it was in fact a tick, and, if so, of the variety to cause concern, I placed it in a

plastic bag and went upstairs to dress for a visit to my doctor.

When I returned to the kitchen, I found that the suspect had eaten its way out of the plastic bag and disappeared to places unknown.

Lesson to be learned: pending a trip to the doctor, place the

“tick” in a secure container, i.e., one that cannot be chewed apart to allow the creature to escape.

I thought my experience would tick-le you.

OpiniOn Seeking greatness through wins and losses

W

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

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

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

D. None of the above

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

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

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

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

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

Need a bottom-line analysis?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yes, I know pundits have offered

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

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

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

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

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

Journalistic scoop takes luck and talent

P

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

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

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

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

She flew to Warsaw the next day.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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