Open Door Exchange holds Footsteps for Furniture fundraiser By SuSan RiSoli People who cannot afford furniture sleep on the floor, do homework on the kitchen counter, and dream of a day they might invite friends over. Open Door Exchange is a oneyear-old, Setauket-based organization that offers gently used furniture to those who need it. The group held a walkathon Sept. 24 to raise funds and awareness for its mission. On a rainy morning, 40 people gathered to walk the Setauket-Port Jefferson Station Greenway Trail. Lake Grove resident Frank Miranda said he ventured out on the blustery fall day because “I’m a big fan of Open Door; all my friends are here and I love walkin’.” As the event got underway, online pledges totaled $1,890 toward the walk’s fundraising goal of $2,500, said Open Door Exchange member Diane Melidosian of Stony Brook. By the time walkers reached the trail’s end, the clouds cleared and sunlight filtered through the windows of the exchange’s nearby warehouse, behind Fun 4 All in Port Jefferson Station. The all-volunteer group is an

outreach of the Setauket Presbyterian Church. Founded last year by parishioner Kate Calone, the organization accepts donated furniture. Merchandise can either be dropped off at the warehouse, or volunteers will pick it up, by appointment. Keeping furniture out of landfills is one of the group’s goals, and member Sheila Towers said volunteers have been known to pull over to the curb and scoop up perfectly good pieces placed outside with the trash. The furniture is given free of charge. Calone said many of her clients are veterans, people transitioning to housing after being homeless or living in shelters, or families displaced by a disaster. After networking with social service agencies, Calone learned that providing furniture was often beyond their scope and their budgets. “Other organizations were saying to us, ‘We’re just doing it [giving furniture] piecemeal,’” Calone said. “So we said, ‘Okay, maybe that’s a gap we can fill.’” Open Door Exchange needs more dressers, small kitchen tables and chairs, and twin bed frames. Anyone looking for an alternative holiday gift idea is encouraged to donate to the “mattress fund,”

Calone said, because she does not accept donated mattresses, but will purchase one if she or other volunteers find out someone is sleeping on the floor. Even in this gritty industrial park, volunteers make the warehouse cheerful. A vase of dried flowers adds a splash of color to a furniture display. Visitors are greeted with snacks. Dignity is given to clients who come to pick out furniture. Calone said that was one of her intentions in starting the program. “When any of us go to the furniture store to shop, we get to think about what we would like, and what would look nice in our home,” she said. This is no jumble of discarded stuff, but a space carefully set up so people can browse. Volunteers of all abilities and ages are welcome, for one time — or on a continuing basis — as an individual or with a group. Towers said Open Door Exchange needs help with a variety of tasks, from driving a truck and picking up furniture, to greeting clients and doing an intake, to dusting the furniture. Sheila Towers said the name of the organization reflects the exchange that flows between clients

and volunteers. “They get furniture, but we get just as much from doing this,” she said. “Seeing the people take their furniture home and how happy they become, it’s a great feeling.” To reach Open Door Exchange, call 631-751-0176 or visit online, www.opendoorexchange.org. Photos by Susan Risoli

‘Kids first’ teacher funds Global Studies Collection at Emma Clark Library By SuSan RiSoli A teacher can change lives. With a $50,000 bequest to Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, former teacher Philip Groia funded a permanent global studies collection. Those who remember Groia, who died in 2014 at age 73, will appreciate the fact that his gift will enrich lives for years to come. Groia taught social studies and global studies to ninth-graders at Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School and was advisor to the student government. He was “an internationalist,” agreed retired fellow teachers and friends John Deus and Judy Albano in a recent interview. He had an abiding curiosity about people and their lives, they said. Groia never married and had no children, but he thought of his students as his kids and “they adored him,” said Deus. “He was a ‘kids first’ kind of teacher.” Albano said relating with his students was one of Groia’s strengths, “[He was] ‘Mr. Cool.’ He was very relaxed with the kids, very easy with them.” Former student Amy Cohas remembered being taken aback on the first day of social studies class, when she found her teacher sitting in the back of the classroom

tenure as director, there have been other benefactors in the library’s 125-year history, he said. The Philip Groia Memorial Global Studies Collection was started last year and includes 100 items on current events and cultures throughout the world. “Right now it’s basically books,” Gutmann said. “But there are really no strings attached to the gift.” Eventually it may include DVDs or other media. Gutmann said having a wellcurated global studies collection available for all is important to keep people informed, “Especially because so much of what’s happening now is, people group together with their own political beliefs and they don’t listen to what the other side is saying,” he said. Emma Clark is a natural home for learning about people, their cultures and their governments, Gutmann continued, because “a library is one of the few places these days, it seems, where you can still come and get information without a bias.” Tony Calleja was a friend. “He came from a strict household,” Calleja said of his friend. “They expected him to be something different than what he felt. But he was his own man and went through life his own way.”

For Groia, it was just another way to connect with kids. “He was really unusual,” Cohas said in a phone interview. “He had a lot of authority, but he was lowkey and funny and affectionate.” Groia called his tests “practical everyday applications,” Cohas recalled, and he delivered them verbally to encourage students to think about the material. His own worldwide travels were often part of class discussions. “He was trying to expose us to a wider world,” Cohas said. “It

raised our expectations as to what teachers could be.” The bond between students and their teacher was especially strong, Cohas said, the day some kids baked Groia a birthday cake and brought it to school. “I remember he looked up as he was slicing the cake and said, ‘I don’t want this to go to your heads, but I really love you guys,’” she recalled. Groia sent his students to Emma Clark to work on their school assignments, and did his own research there too. He had

a special interest in early rhythm and blues music, especially the street corner groups that filled 1950s and ‘60s New York City with their vocal harmonies. His book on the topic, “They All Sang on the Corner,” is part of the library’s holdings. Still, said library director Ted Gutmann, it came as a surprise that Groia’s will provided for Emma Clark. “I think I did a little bit of a double take, when I saw the figure of $50,000,” Gutmann said. Though Groia’s gift is the first bequest to Emma Clark in Gutmann’s

A reprieve for the trees Pleased to be heard, homeowners express gratitude Donna newman donna@tbrnewspapers.com The Sept. 29 Brookhaven Town Board meeting seemed to provide proof of Margaret Mead’s assertion: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Homeowners from the Strathmore Msection of Stony Brook were in attendance at the meeting, again seeking help to retain sycamore trees on their streets, which had been marked for removal by the Highway Department in preparation for repaving several roads. They listened as town Attorney Annette Eaderesto gave a statement at the beginning of the meeting. Referencing the residents’ concerns, expressed at the Sept. 1 board meeting, Eaderesto said, “The supervisor directed the Law office and [the Division of] Land Management to get involved in this situation,” explaining that John Turner [the town’s open space program coordinator] visited the area, took many pictures and also took pictures of other roads, which had been paved using curb bump-outs, so that the trees would be saved. “The project is totally on hold now,” Eaderesto said. “Your trees are not in danger.” She added she had confirmed the hold with the deputy supervisor of highways, Steve Tricarico. Further, she indicated that Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) would put forth a resolution at the next Town Board meeting, which will establish a “tree committee” so situations like this will not recur in the future.

“There’ll be much more communication,” she said. Eaderesto’s statement was met with audience applause. “We’ll be dealing with a solar code that will not allow any solar [projects] to be done by taking down trees,” Romaine said. “We think Brookhaven should stay as green as it possibly can.” Eight speakers addressed the board regarding the progress made on retaining the trees. Most of them expressed gratitude to the board, the supervisor and the town attorney for listening and responding to their pleas. The organizers of this community effort are cautiously optimistic. “We were surprised [by the town attorney’s statement],” said Susan Ackerman. “We’d like to find out specifics before we truly relax. What is the plan for the M-section?” While the residents want to preserve the healthy, mature trees in the M-section, Ackerman said she’d also like to see a more modern paving policy throughout Brookhaven town. “We had so much stuff we were going to say [at the board meeting],” said M-section homeowner Tom Caputo. “We think it was good [referring to the town attorney’s statement], but we’re still walking on eggshells.” They both plan to watch the Sept. 29 board meeting video online, so they can listen closely to Eaderesto’s words. “The paving project is on hold while we evaluate all of the options available to minimize disruptions to the neighborhood, while improving our infrastructure,” wrote the office of town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) in an email statement.

Opioid panel talks heroin trends in history, controversy with Narcan By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com

HEROIN & PRESCRIPTION OPIOID OVERDOSE DEATHS

Medical professionals, law enforcement and government officials gathered at Stony Brook University this past weekend to have an open and honest dialogue about the 125 growing opioid problem facing the North 111 Shore and the rest of Suffolk County. The complexity of the problem and how 96 it relates to communities across the county 91 HEROIN was the topic of the discussion Oct. 1.

nurse ratings and even payment being tied to patient satisfaction and reduction, created an environment of overprescribing, Ioannou said. He also said training of doctors in pain management needs to be addressed — he graduated from medical school in 1985 with “zero” training in pain management. “There are states in the United States where there are more prescriptions for opiate pain medications than there are people — this is a staggering number,” Ioannou said. Jermaine Jones, Ph.D., an assistant professor of clinical neurobiology in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University, also spoke and reiterated some of what Ioannou said regarding the United States’ views on pain management. “I’ve had friends from other countries say that unless you come into the E.R. with an arm missing, you’re not going to get a prescription that you could get here for having a root canal,” Jones said. “We make up about 5 percent of the world’s population yet we consume about 80 percent of the prescription opioid [painkillers].” Jones is involved in a study called Risks and Benefits of Overdose Education and Naloxone Prescribing to Heroin Users and spoke about some of his findings. Naloxone, commonly known by the brand name Narcan, is a drug used to reverse opioid overdoses. “We’re trying to better understand how to tease apart ways to attenuate what people like about opioids,” Jones said of the five-year

SCPD: “We can’t arrest ourselves out of this problem” By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Commentators on the rising opioid crisis in the United States commonly say dealing with the problem requires a multipronged approach, and the Suffolk County Police Department agrees. The department has expanded efforts to combat the many fronts of the opioid crisis, including prevention, treatment and enforcement. Police Commissioner Tim Sini said in an interview that the opioid problem is the number one public safety and public health issue in Suffolk County. “We have over 100 opioid-related overdoses every year for the past several years, and then when you consider the more than 500 Narcan saves on top of that, the tragic loss of life and the near tragic loss of life is just shocking,” he said at police headquarters in Yaphank. It’s no secret the SCPD has their job cut out for them — in 2014 Suffolk County had the highest number of overdose deaths involving heroin, and was the leader in deaths where prescription opioids were a factor in the state, according to a report by the New York State Comptroller’s office from June. Sini also highlighted how crime is so closely associated with an increase in drug activity. “Addicts often resort to burglaries and larcenies, and sometimes they elevate to

Suffolk County. At the end of March, SCPD started a program that encourages residents to call 631-852-NARC, an anonymous hotline encouraging residents to call in with drug tips they have. If the tip leads to an arrest, the resident is entitled to a cash reward.

This initiative works in conjunction with Crime Stoppers, a program that connects local police departments with the public and media to help find suspects and collect information that can lead to arrests. “Since we rolled [the drug hotline] out at the end of March, we’ve received over 500 tips on that line, and many of those have resulted in investigations and search warrants,” Sini said. “We’ve seized kilogram quantities of narcotics as a result of this initiative, over a million dollars in drug money, dozens and dozens of weapons, and over 200 arrests under this initiative. It’s important because not only does it take drugs off the street but it sends the message that we’re not going to tolerate drug dealing in our communities.” The police department has said open communication with the public is an important part of this fight, because the more communities speak up and help the department, the better work the police can do. Sini said since he took over, there has been almost a 200 percent increase in the amount of search warrants executed, and many of these are due to tips from residents. “[Search warrants] are very important because it disrupts drug operations before they become too significant,” Sini said. “It takes guns and drugs off the streets, and also strengthens the partnership between the police department and the community.

Community leaders stress looking past the opioid ‘stigma’ By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County has a drug problem. And while it may be broken news, this is not breaking news. Heroin and prescription opioid-related overdoses and deaths are increasing yearly across the nation, state and county, according to all available data, but the overall conversation lacks focus, those close to the issue have said. One Long Island man whose line of work leaves him with little insulation from the problem said it is worse than most would imagine. Dan Moloney, who along with his brother Peter owns six Long Island locations of Moloney Family Funeral Homes, said in an exclusive interview that he believes the problem facing Suffolk County deserves a harsher spotlight. Moloney, who has an unenviable front row seat to the horrors that come from the addictive and powerful substance, said the problem reached a tipping point for him in 2009. After a funeral for a Rocky Point student who overdosed, the Moloneys decided to try to use their platform to deliver an important message. They had posters made up with the words “Some kids are dying for a high” in bold letters on top of an image of a flower arrangement with a card that read, “With Deepest Sympathy, The class of ’10.” Below the image, the funeral director’s message read in part: “The last thing we want to see is a death that could have been prevented. Help us make sure we don’t.” The Moloneys tried to distribute the posters to school districts around the Island, though they couldn’t find any takers. “Nobody wants to talk about it,” Dan Moloney said. “Nobody wants to hear from the funeral director.” On the surface, in Suffolk County, it would appear heroin abuse is a daily conversation in one way or another, from politicians sponsoring initiatives to news outlets covering arrests and overdoses, to firsthand accounts from former addicts in various forms. Moloney said he wouldn’t agree — not only is the problem receiving too little attention, he said, but also the wrong people

are doing the talking. “Are people sitting in the bleachers talking about the heroin problem?” he said. “But if their kid had some sort of disease, they’d be talking about it. They’d be doing fundraisers to help them find a cure.” The two go hand-in-hand — heroin and opioids — or at least they should, Moloney said. Heroin is an illegal and highly addictive version of an opioid, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, statistics reporting deaths related to one or the other are not always paired. The CDC’s website said health care providers wrote nearly a quarter of a billion prescriptions for legal opioids in 2013. Supply and demand for prescription pain medication doesn’t always dry up at the same rate. When the prescribed pills are gone and the desire for more lingers, the cheaper, stronger drug becomes a logical alternative. In 2013, New York State’s Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing — Prescription Monitoring Program, also known as I-STOP/PMP, went into effect. The system works as a registry for practitioners to consult and track dispensed prescription histories for patients. The program has restricted supply of opioids to addicts, though it has done nothing to curb their demand. No tracking system exists for the neighborhood heroin dealer. Moloney said one of his business’s facilities held funerals for three heroin overdose victims in just one day earlier this year. The closest comparison he could come up with to a public health concern inflicting that much damage in one day is a car crash that kills a vehicle full of people. He said that in some years, only two to three motorcyclerelated deaths occur over the course of entire summer, which the public tends to find alarming, but that pales in comparison to heroin- and opioid-related deaths. The difficulties in securing relevant and timely statistics on overdose-related deaths in New York State has contributed to undermining the understanding of the severity of Suffolk County’s problem, according to Moloney. “New York State is terrible,” he said about the state’s demographic record-

Above, Maloney’s Funeral home still has stacks of this poster. Below, suffolk County leads New york state in deaths related to heroin and opioid overdoses. keeping, which is an insight few could offer outside of the funeral business. “Three years down the road — the latest data you have is from three years ago. With the technology we have today, there’s absolutely no reason for that. And I know from colleagues that I have in other states, when you can’t get the information about how many deaths occurred in a certain place for two or three years, or what they were — because all of that is tracked — I just think the data that’s out there is antiquated and the situation is worse than the data they’re using shows.” Father Francis Pizzarelli, director of Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson, has been a regular contributor of insight and opinions regarding heroin and opioid addiction among young people in Suffolk County for about as long. He, like Moloney, said the problem is likely worse than anyone in the county realizes. “The level of denial among parents con-

tinues to be deeply disturbing,” Pizzarelli wrote in a April 2016 column featured in this newspaper. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, “which are a vital lifeline and network in our community for those working on recovery and wellness, have to worry that drug dealers are now waiting outside these meetings to prey on men and women in early recovery.” Pizzarelli said his tipping point, much like that of Moloney’s, came in 2009. So far, though, he added, it has not been enough. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini said in May there were 103 fatal heroin overdoses in Suffolk County in 2015. New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli (D) released a report on June 9 saying there were more than 200 deaths in which heroin or opioids played a role in Suffolk County in 2014. Regardless of how and when the deaths are identified with a specific cause or a contributing factor being opioids, one thing is clear to Moloney: the number is higher than we think. According to the Suffolk County Police Department, since the act of administering the medication Narcan to reverse an opioid overdose became commonplace in August 2012, more than 630 saves have been recorded through Sept. 22. In addition to conflicting stats, Moloney said an issue that he encounters is the stigma parents feel about losing a child to an overdose and what it might suggest about their aptitude as a parent. Most of the time, parents decline to immediately identify a heroin or opioid overdose as their child’s cause of death, he said. In fact, Moloney estimated that nine out of 10 parents whose child died of an overdose don’t address the issue and the cause isn’t added to a death certificate until about three months later, when lab reports are complete. “It almost creates an environment where there doesn’t have to be an acknowledgement —not publicly,” Moloney said. “Of course there’s a lot of shame.”

Continued from page A7 study, which is currently in its second year. He said the study was created to monitor people who are administered naloxone and see if it is being used for the correct purposes. One concern in the creation of an overdose reversal drug is that users will be more confident in their ability to combat an overdose and may decide not to call 911 if that day ever comes. Other potential unintended consequences of naloxone, including how to deal with a user who may be irate after being saved from an overdose and is now “dope sick” and without the expensive drug they just bought, are the focus of the study. They are also researching some potential new medications or existing ones that could work in accordance with opioids to reduce pain, while reducing the effects that lead to addiction. “We know that detox by itself is actually one of the highest risk factors for opioid overdose because you’re tolerance decreases,” Jones said. “So once someone comes out of a detox program they swear they’re never going to touch this stuff again, but relapse is very, very common. So they use again thinking that if they were using two bags before, they can continue using two bags now that they’ve gotten out, but their physiological tolerance has decreased and

people overdose as a result.” Ioannou indicated he’d like to see changes in treatment options for addicts. “We treat all addiction by the same model,” he said. “You have a five-day detox, 28-day rehab and you have an after care that is all based on 12 steps. That is the model of care in the United States. We need to realize with a complex disease, you need a complex set of interventions.” Suffolk County Police Department Deputy Sheriff Mike Kern is an expert in recognizing drug users. He called overdoses the most powerful “advertisement” for drug dealers because it is a clear indication of how strong their product is. He echoed sentiments from both doctors about the dangers of overprescribing and to what it can lead. “Why can a doctor prescribe an OxyContin to a 16-year-old or a 15-year-old who just had a root canal?” Kern asked. “It just doesn’t make any sense.”

The police department has also focused resources on treating drug addicts who are in the throes of addiction. Inmates at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Yaphank have the option of receiving voluntary medical assistance while still in jail. The department offers inmates who are eligible for the program, meaning they don’t have any drugs currently in their system and have said they want to commit to getting clean, an injection of Vivitrol, a drug that works as an opioid antagonist, blocking the opioid receptors in the brain and preventing someone from getting high for 30 days. “It gives you that mental clarity and stability to essentially not relapse, so you can stay in treatment,” Sini said. “It’s highly effective but most addicts don’t want to use it because once you take that shot, you know you can’t get high for thirty days. So it takes someone who is really committed to getting help.” Sini said the program starts in jail, and they look for inmates who have essentially

Incarcerated individuals receive their first shot in jail, and then are set up with a treatment provider in their community to work with when they are released. Suffolk County officers are also dedicated to providing programs that help with prevention. The Ugly Truth is a program meant to educate school districts and community groups on the dangers this growing problem poses for all different age groups in Suffolk County. There are many other programs in effect right now being taught throughout the county. “If we can prevent someone from ever going down that road, that’s where you’ll get your biggest bang for your buck,” Sini said. The commissioner said he is only interested in working with evidence-based programs, which are resources that have been studied by analysts to prove their effectiveness. Certain police officers are also designated as school resource officers. They are assigned to specific districts to participate in awareness programs with the students. Sini said despite all the resources the department provides, more needs to be done. “The silver lining is, among the experts there is consensus,” Sini said. “We don’t sit there and debate if addiction is a disease or if the cops can solve this problem. We all get it; this is a multifaceted problem that creates issues for families, schools, the police department, probation, courts, medical examiners, churches and more.

Excellence in Teaching Award Beloved Ward Melville High School math teacher, Pam O’Brien, has been selected as an Empire State Excellence in Teaching Award winner and was presented with a check for $5,000 by Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul during a surprise in-class ceremony. The award recognizes educational leaders who “exemplify the professional work of thousands of outstanding, progressive teachers and innovative educators striving to attain New York standards and success for all of their students.” The monetary grant will be used for opportunities for continued learning and professional endeavors. O’Brien, who was previously named a

New York State Master Teacher, has been teaching for 28 years. She holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from SUNY Binghamton and a master’s in education from Dowling College. O’Brien, her husband and three children are all Ward Melville graduates. “I feel honored that I’ve had the opportunity to teach in the community I call home,” said O’Brien. “I’ve been fortunate to work with students who constantly inspire me to be an even better teacher.

David Kirk passed away Oct. 1, after a short illness. He was born Dec. 11, 1947, in Pittsburg, Kansas, and was preceded in death by parents Homer and Maida Kirk. David was president of Axios Products Inc.

Nassakeag welcomes Pickford Nancy Pickford is the new assistant principal at Nassakeag Elementary School, effective Sept. 21. Pickford replaced Danielle Flaumenhaft.

Undefeated Patriots nab third straight shutout By BiLL LAndon

Ward Melville 3 Sachem North 0

Shannon Sioss said. “[Sachem North’s] strength was in the middle — they did a really nice job of stepping up and beating us to a lot of balls today.” Sioss said there is little discussion about her team’s undefeated performance [10-0 overall, 9-0 in Division I] with five league games left before the playoffs. The Patriots are just going to keep playing their game. “We focus on possession and when we do that, we’re more successful on the attacking end,” Sioss said. “I think we did a nice job of keeping it out of our defensive end today.”

These Patriots are perfect. In the Ward Melville field hockey team’s nine straight wins leading up to its matchup against Sachem North Sept. 29, the team has allowed just three goals. In the Patriots’ two games prior, they shut out Smithtown East, 1-0, and Bay Shore 4-0. So it was no surprise that the Flaming Arrows matchup yielded similar results. Sachem North (8-3 overall, 6-3 Division I) managed just two shots on goal, and quickly fell behind when senior Kassidy Rogers-Healion rocked the box for a 1-0 lead just 15 seconds into the game. The Flaming Arrows never recovered, and fell 3-0 on their own turf. Senior goalkeeper Bella Nelin said she had complete confidence in her defense to protect the goal. “I really trust my [defenders] in front of me, and we all just play our hardest,” she said. “Scoring that first goal in the first minute changed the game, and we controlled the tempo of the game by doing that.” Nine minutes later, Rogers-Healion’s stick spoke again, when the forward took a crossing pass from junior Kerri Thornton and drove her shot home to put her team out in front 2-0. Nelin, who had a quiet day in the box, said her team prepares the same way for

each game, no matter who they face. “We don’t underestimate any team that we play — regardless of the skill level,” Nelin said. “If we played them before, if we beat them before, [it doesn’t matter]; so we came out like we do for any other game.” Sachem North controlled the middle of the field though, which forced Ward Melville’s attack to counter. “Sachem North is an awesome team and we knew we had to come out strong,” Rogers-Healion said. “Seeing that they had a great hold on the center, we were able to pass around that using the outside and [send] the ball back.” Senior Hannah Lorenzen was the last Patriot to light up the scoreboard, when the midfielder took a cross from RogersHealion and smacked the ball past the keeper to go up three goals with five minutes remaining in the first half. Lorenzen said that Sachem North was much stronger in the final 30 minutes of play. “We expected that they’d come out harder in the second half — they always do,” she said. “We knew that we had to step up our game — every single one of us — and keep the level of intensity up and just play our game.” Sachem North struggled to find Ward Melville’s end of the field, and the Flaming Arrows had their hands full fighting off Patriots attackers for the remainder of the game. “Although it was a solid win, I think that the girls would agree with me this wasn’t our best midfield game today, as far as our passing game,” Ward Melville head coach

Letters to the editor

Help us find a missing podium Sunday, Oct. 2, we hosted our 8th Annual SOLES for All Souls 5K race/2K walk and had more than 120 people come out in support. Unfortunately, after the awards ceremony, when we went to collect our podium from the street in front of the church, it was gone! We hope this was just a mistake; that someone thought it was being discarded, since it

was on the side of the street and it was garbage night. Please help us get it back. If you know its whereabouts, please return it to the church, or call and let us know where we can pick it up. We’d hate to lose this beautiful part of our history. Thank you.

Dan Kerr, Chairman SOLES for All Souls 5K

Lights of Hope, an event in Port Jefferson, helped to remember those lost to drug addiction and celebrate those recovering.

A problem is coursing through Long Island’s veins It’s no time to pass the buck. When it comes to the rising opioid abuse issue coursing through Long Island’s veins, we want to make sure we continue the open dialogue. As you finish reading this edition, we hope you reflect on how this growing problem affects you, your family, your friends and everyone else around you — we can’t hide from this. We need to take a more head-on approach to this medical issue, and accept that it is a medical problem, and not as some say a moral failing. Parents shouldn’t let the stigma attached to drug or substance abuse keep them from talking about it. If we are to learn and grow and recover, we need to be talking. If we hide from the issue, the results will most certainly be fatal. This is a problem that requires a collaborative effort, including prevention through education and early identification of at-risk people, enforcement with sharper penalties to dealers and prescription writers and improved rehabilitation resources and strategies. And as this issue should reflect, many groups on the North Shore are dedicated to working together to fight this crisis. A cooperative combination of all of these things can help get Long Island headed in the right direction. Listed below are several resources if you or a loved one is struggling with substance or drug abuse. • Suffolk County Substance Abuse Hotline: 631-979-1700 • Hope House Ministries: 631-978-0188 • Response of Suffolk County 24-hour hotline: 631-751-7500 • Prevention Resource Center: 631-650-0135 • Phoenix House’s Edward D. Miller substance abuse treatment center: 844-296-9046 • Samaritan Village’s Suffolk Outpatient Treatment Program: 631-351-7112 • St. Charles Hospital rehab program: 631-474-6233 • New York State HOPEline: 1-877-8-HOPENY • Suffolk County Division of Community Mental Hygiene Services: 631-853-8500 Visit http://www.suffolkcountyny.gov/substanceabuse for a downloadable prevention, treatment and recovery services directory, which gives a list of service agencies and treatment centers on Long Island.

I’d like you to know what has happened to a group of our neighbors, and myself, with regard to a lovely opportunity at Stony Brook University. Artists in our community have participated in a drawing group located in the art department for the last 40 years. My participation started in 1979. At that time we met only on Monday nights. Over the years, due to the popularity of the group, the art department and some participating professors worked out another possibility: Saturday and Sunday mornings. Anywhere from 8 to 15 people show up each week to keep their skills sharp by drawing the nude. The age range of participants is 17 to 80+. Stony Brook students, staff, scientists from Brookhaven Lab and Stony Brook all come to draw. We hired our own models

and chipped in to pay them. The key to the room was held by a trusted participant. The door to the room was unlocked at 9 and locked again at 12. The building is open all day. Art students would be working on their projects in other rooms and drift in to see what we were doing and often join us. There was a nice easy flow between faculty, the chairman, the students and the drawing group. Until a month ago. A security worker noticed we were there and said we had no right to be there. This, after 40 years! He complained to the chairman and because she was new and knew nothing about us, we were told we were a security risk and that unless we get a permit and insurance (which is costly) we could not return. We were ousted. After many failed attempts to

find a solution, I decided to call President Stanley. Surely he’d want to keep something as good as this — and so positive for the university’s image. I talked with Dean Kopp, Dr. Stanley’s spokesperson. He said the same thing that we were told a month ago: insurance, permit. I reasoned surely after all this time we could be grandfathered in or put under some umbrella of the art program. He remarked that times had changed and it’s not feasible. This group has been a blessing to the community — a real treasure, a serendipitous gift that can happen now and then. It’s really surprising that no one has been able to protect our group and enable it to keep enriching our community.

Sheila Breck Stony Brook

A concept even Tea Partiers can understand When I suggested that ISIS or other Islamic terrorists might find a way to “get” an atomic weapon, I did not expect Professor Wishnia to infer that I expected them to develop it from scratch, by establishing a sort of Islamist Manhattan Project. Rather, I meant that they might find a way to acquire an existing device, armed and ready to go, from one of our numerous sworn enemies who already has a few. When they start with several billions of dollars, including $400 million in ransom money cash, which was thoughtfully provided by our current president, such a transaction is not beyond the realm of possibility. I thought it was unkind of the professor to assert that I have “no comprehension” of the magnitude of the project of developing an atomic bomb, and that I do not understand the difficult concept of orders of magnitude, which he does understand, as he said, because he taught chem-

istry at Stony Brook. I may not be a professor, but I do the best I can. Although I have never worked on the development of a nuclear weapon, I do have seven patents, with two more pending, for electronic circuits that I designed. My designs have included the audio distribution system on the Space Shuttle, a cryogenic cooler used in the TOW missile, a motor controller in the Mars rover, a microwave antenna controller used in NOAA weather satellites and the charge management circuit for the lithium-ion battery on the Juno mission, which arrived in the vicinity of Jupiter on the Fourth of July. I am very familiar with large development projects, although I will acknowledge that none were of the size and scope necessary to develop an atomic weapon. It is certainly clear to me that a few hundred million dollars would not even be a drop in the proverbial bucket for a

program of this magnitude, and I thought it would be obvious to anyone that the bad actors might “get” such a device by purchase, theft or extortion, but certainly not by designing and building it themselves. Apparently I was wrong. I think “orders of magnitude” is a great concept, and I thank Professor Wishnia for bringing it up. In the context of our discussion, let us assume that ISIS has 20,000 members, and the combined Axis powers had 20 million. Thus, we can say that the Axis armed forces exceeded the ISIS membership by a factor of 1,000, or we might say that the difference was three orders of magnitude, with one order of magnitude being a factor of 10. I think that this is a very useful concept, one that even Tea Partiers can understand. I will try to use it whenever I can.

Do we know where and when to meet someone if our phones don’t work? Who do we call if we have a problem with our plumbing, if we can’t start our car or if we suddenly lose cable? Many of these what-if scenarios involve fixing things By Daniel Dunaief that don’t work, or planning in case something unpleasant happens which could disrupt our lives. But what about all the positive, rewarding and fulfilling what-if scenarios?

D. None of the above

Rightfully so, we recognize times when we need to play defense, to stop any of the various conflicts that arise from becoming problematic. The ones I’m describing are the typical plot devices in a book: man vs. man, man vs. nature, man vs. society, man vs. self, man vs. fate. Sometimes I think we’re so focused on the negative contingency that we don’t spend enough time on the positive ones. What if that pitcher throws my favorite pitch in my favorite spot? What if I have a chance to do exactly what I want to do at work today? What if today is the day when I meet someone whose smile becomes my sunshine? Are we as ready for those moments as we are for the other ones? As a baseball and softball coach, I have spent plenty of time in games that allow players’ minds to wander into these what-if scenarios or even to areas unrelated to baseball, like dinner or homework. These are spectacularly slowquick games. Nothing happens

for long stretches of time. Indeed, recently, at my daughter’s softball game, a pitcher walked seven batters and struck out the side — all in the same inning. That means seven players, other than the pitcher and catcher, never touched a ball for all that time. That same pitcher, those same hitters and the same fielders could find themselves in completely different conditions in the next inning, with the hitters smacking the ball to every part of the field and each fielder finding an opportunity to make the kind of play that reminds my daughter why she loves this game. To make those plays, however, the fielders need to be physically and mentally prepared for the what-ifs. A right fielder might think, “What if someone hits the ball off the end of the bat and I come racing in as soon as the batter hits it, diving to catch the ball at the end of my glove?” Or the hitter might imagine, “What if this incredibly fast pitch comes in and I hit it on the sweet

Welcoming contagious guests, or not

ave you ever been faced with the dilemma of letting someone who was ill come and visit you? Perhaps the person was planning to stay only for dinner. Or maybe that person was to be a houseguest for a number of days. You had already extended the invitation, when everyone was healthy, and now you discovered that one of the guests was contagious. You might have had that question By Leah S. Dunaief considerately put to you by the guest directly. Or you may have discovered in some other way that the person coming was suffering from a contagious bug but was planning to arrive anyway. And you don’t want to appear cowardly. Yet your situation might involve your family’s susceptibilities — your child’s perhaps — or your own health.

Between you and me

What to do? I had to make such a decision recently about out-of-town guests coming to my house, and I thought about similar stories I’d heard. One such involved a guest who was ill when she came to stay, along with her boyfriend, in the West Coast home of my friend. The host, who told me the story, felt he was significantly at risk, given his health profile, and after a couple of days asked her to go home or to a hotel to recover. While he might have felt pangs of conscience about his action, he eventually became outraged that she had come into his home sick when he became ill with whatever East Coast bug she had brought him. Now it is entirely possible to become ill just by being a member of the human race. We give each other germs all the time, and if we weren’t so exposed we could not effectively build up an immune system. People who are overly concerned about contagion, like Howard Hughes, who would not shake hands, are considered extreme. Yet carrying active germs into the sanctity of someone else’s home can give a host pause.

The issue can arise in the workplace as well. Many times a worker will come to his place of employment even if ill. He may be highly motivated and not wish to miss a few days attending to his responsibilities. Or he can’t afford to miss a day’s pay if he isn’t eligible for sick leave. Or he doesn’t want to let down his colleagues who depend on him. In any event, he pushes through his discomfort, arrives at work and often spreads his germs to the others, who subsequently fall ill. Companies have issued directives urging employees who are ill not to come to work until they have recovered for fear of just that consequence. Workers don’t always heed the message. Let’s go back to the home front. There is no hard and fast rule, it seems, only case-by-case determinations. As a host, you have an obligation of hospitality, whether the guests have come from the house down the street or the other coast. You have invited your guests because you like, even love, them and you want to spend more time with them.

spot, delivering a game-winning hit against the league’s strongest pitcher?” The ball that never seems to come moves too quickly when it finally does arrive to contemplate each decision, the way we might reconsider where to put decorations on a wall. All that thinking, planning and preparing has to happen well before the pitch comes in. I’m not talking about practice, although that’s a big part of success. I’m describing a readiness, a conviction and a commitment to the what-if opportunity that turns dreams and visions into realities. Fear is an important motivator, getting us to study harder, to make extra calls at work and to keep practicing. Let’s remember what we want, as well as what we don’t want. Let’s work hard enough for what we want so that we can start our day, our rehearsal, our game or our test with a new set of questions with a different theme: What if I helped make something great happen?

Further, you enjoy having people in your home, sharing food, drink and conversation. You are not only offering something to your guests but also looking forward to your own enjoyment with them. So it is hard to turn them away after you have put out the welcome mat. Your conscience pricks you. On the other hand, you don’t want to fall ill or cause your family members to become sick. It’s time for that old adage, “No good deed goes unpunished.” Here you are, doing something nice and you may wind up paying for your action in sick days. How do you decide? Also, if you are the guest who is ill, where are your obligations? You promised a visit, the host has undoubtedly made preparations that involve shopping and cooking, and now you are cancelling, perhaps at the last minute. Good communications and understanding between hosts and guests are the keys to any successful future relationship. And maybe we should have doormats that continue to say, “Welcome” but add a line beneath that says, “If you are sick, let’s talk.”
