This year, “Team Galluzzo” has joined forces with Music For Life to raise money for a fellow DJ and industry alum, Jeff Galluzzo and his family. Jeff, a 46 yearold, non-smoker, has been fighting Lung Cancer for the last four years and was diagnosed in the summer of 2010 while in training for a triathlon.

Since then, Jeff has had numerous chemotherapy and radiation treatments, underwent four surgeries, one of which removed his right lung. Just two weeks ago, Jeff’s doctors informed him and his family that the cancer is now terminal and that there is nothing more they can do.

Given the amount of daily care he requires, his fearless wife Jodi has been by his side, day and night, taking care of his every need. As you can imaagine, the hardship this family has endured

A Week To Remember

This summer, I was given the opportunity to compete at the American Legion Boys’ State Program. For around 1,100 of Long Island’s most promising leaders, this week away from our parents was a big deal.

Even though I was rejected from my first application for the program, I did not lose hope.

I was soon referred to Mr. Marco Calise, one of the Vice Presidents of the Police Association of Suffolk County. He had faith in me. At one of their meetings, the board, as well as the entire group, debated upon many boys vying for the position.

I am proud to say that I was chosen to represent Suffolk County, the Police Association of Suffolk

County and St. John the Baptist DHS. While at this selective program, I met many of America’s future prominent faces. I made many friends, and accomplished a great deal.

I was elected City Clerk, County Scribe and even

nominated as my County’s candidate for Boys’ Nation.

In addition I assumed the role as Director for the Statesman TV News, as well as the Head Writer for the Statesman Printed News.

I would not have been able to fulfill all of these

opportunities without the guidance, support and sponsorship of the Police Association of Suffolk County. This group of men comprised of many, if not all, retired policemen, truly made my dream a reality. They trusted me with their support, and I hope I did not disappoint them.

Just last week, I was invited back to the Board Meeting and gave a summation of my experience during my week at Boys’ State. It has been an amazing road, and I am very glad that I found the Police Association of Suffolk County.

I would like to finalize this week’s article with a big ‘thank you’ to the Police Association of Suffolk County!

On Thursday, September 19th, The Rotary Club of Smithtown-Sunrise Guest Speaker was Julie A. Broihier, MA, presenting a program on “Remembering 911” project. Julie described the “Remembering 911” project as being a collection of complied information through first responder interviews about the 2001 disaster. This information will be assembled into an online archive, available to the public, to provide a broader understanding of the devastation of the Word Trade Center tragedy.

As cited on their website (www.911respondersremember.org): The “Remembering 9/11” project is the brainchild of Dr. Benjamin Luft, Director of the Long Island World Trade Center Program (SUNY-Stony Brook arm of the WTC Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program Consortium). Conceived in 2002, The Long Island WTC program is Long Island’s only Comprehensive Care Center dedicated to caring for thousands of 9/11 responders who suffer from health issues related to their work at Ground Zero. This Center of Excellence provides services and monitoring to approximately 5,000 WTC responders across Long Island. Additionally, the program carries out research on patient health outcomes to find better ways to treat WTC program patients.”

Julie then explained the mission and function of the Clinical Centers of Excellence which are currently

Many homeowners may not know that pruning trees in the winter can benefit some trees. Deciduous trees are dormant in winter, so they won’t bleed sap when pruned at this time of year like they will at other times of year. In addition, many varieties of trees are less likely to attract disease or insects if pruned in the winter. Oak trees, for example, emit a strong odor when pruned, and that odor can attract a type of beetle that causes oak wilt. But this type of beetle hibernates in the winter, making this the ideal season to prune oak trees.

Before pruning trees, regardless of the time of year, homeowners should learn the types of trees on their property and when the ideal pruning season is for each type of tree.

Pruning also may depend on climate, so speak with a local gardening or

come the spring. Dead, broken or diseased limbs should be removed when pruning.

• Do not top trees. Tree topping is the removal of large branches and/ or trunks from the top of a tree. Topping leaves a tree susceptible to disease and insect infestation, and homeowners who top trees to prevent them from getting any larger should know that topping actually promotes the growth of smaller, weaker branches that eventually grow as tall, if not taller, than the original branches before the tree was topped.

Topping also decreases a tree’s life expectancy.

It’s official. Autumn has arrived, and with it, quickly fading are those last golden rays of summer sunshine, any lingering tan lines, the prospect of wearing flip flops and short sleeves … and, as of this printing, the Yankees’ playoff hopes. Just like that.

What a difference one week can make, right?

I know, I know … get over it. Seasons come and go, weather changes and we all had just better get used to it – and quickly. Each month brings with it its own unique excitement, and there are those who far prefer the

winter cold to any number of days spent lounging on the beach. (I would not be one of them, in case you couldn’t tell.)

But here we are, at any rate, on the verge of October, with the holiday season lurking right over the horizon. Tis’ the season for Oktoberfest and Fall Festivals, high school and college Homecoming parades and games, pumpkin picking and Halloween costume parties.

Before you know it, we’ll be making our shopping lists for Black Friday. And, just like that, summer will be a distant memory.

So time to dig out the fall sweaters, store the bathing suits away for another season, and embrace the crunch of the leaves beneath your boots. School is back, football is gearing up and the new fall TV season is in full premiere mode. Doesn’t sound so bad after all, does it? Not bad at all...

Part of the beauty of living on Long Island is that we are fortunate to experience all four seasons – may as well start enjoying them. There will always be something to look forward to, somewhere else you would rather be … but there’s still nothing quite like the here and now.

landscaping professional to determine when is the best time to prune the trees on your property.

Once the time has come to prune, keep the following tips in mind to maintain healthy and aesthetically appealing trees.

• Remove limbs that appear to be competing for space. Tree limbs that are crossing, rubbing or growing parallel to one another can be pruned.

Such limbs may prohibit the growth of nearby limbs.

• Remove limbs that are growing in. Some tree limbs may appear to be growing toward the interior of the tree, and these limbs can be pruned.

• Remove limbs growing toward the ground. A healthy tree’s limbs will grow outward, not toward the ground.

• Remove dead limbs.

Dead limbs simply take up space, and a dead limb is not going to grow back

Tips For Tree Maintenance

Winterizing Your Lawn Every weekend of the last few months you have spent mowing, weeding, edging, and trimming your lawn so that it will look its best. In order to ensure your lawn makes a complete recovery after winter hibernation, you may want to spend the fall taking steps to help your lawn survive the winter months ahead.

Winterizing a lawn varies depending on where you live and how harsh a typical winter is. There are certain key tasks to complete before you can rest for the winter season.

• Remove fallen leaves and debris. Leaf cleanup is among the tasks homeowners dread the most. Raking leaves can be arduous, but it is well worth the effort.

Fallen leaves can smother the grass and lead to dead spots and decay next season. Wait until the majority of the leaves have fallen from the trees before you begin to rake; otherwise, you could find yourself repeating the process throughout the fall. Mulched leaves can be added in small amounts to garden beds to provide rich organic material for next year’s crop of flowers.

Be sure to pick up any twigs and other debris as well.

Additional debris can become up trapped under snow and hinder grass growth when spring arrives.

• Cut your lawn short. Unless the season is unseasonably wet and warm, your lawn shouldn’t grow too much in October and November. Continue to cut your lawn until there is no visible growth for about two weeks. It pays to give it a short cut before frost arrives so that long piles of dead grass will not smother any new growth in the spring. Also, long grass tends to bend down upon itself, trapping moisture that can lead to fungal diseases like snow mold.

• Aerate the lawn. Soil can be compacted over time, especially in yards that see heavy foot traffic. You can rent an aerator from a lawn supply store so that water and fertilizer can reach the soil.

• Fertilize. Now is the time to give the lawn fresh food to overwinter and also replenish the strength of the root system. All summer long the lawn has been depleting the soil of nutrition, but autumn presents a great opportunity to strengthen those roots. Consider a slow-release formula designed for winterizing that will

feed the lawn all winter long.

• Edge the garden beds. Take advantage of the cooler weather and slow-growing grass to re-edge around flower beds. Even though the grass above the surface of the soil will stop growing, the roots will remain viable and the lawn will still be sending out rhizomes and tillers to produce new grass blades in the spring. These can easily encroach on garden beds. Edge now so you will have less work to do in the spring.

• Trim hedges and trees. If there are any overhanging tree branches or shrubbery blocking sunlight from reaching the lawn, cut back these areas once the foliage has thinned. Take advantage of your town’s leaf and twig pickup services.

• Seed bare patches. Scour the lawn for bare patches and put down some seed in these areas. The cooler weather will enable the seeds to germinate without having to compete with weed growth.

Once you have prepared your lawn for the winter you can bring in any lawn tools that need repair and have them set and packed away for the spring.

Cruizin For A Cure Support

SUFFOLK ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2013 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Troop 3 of Smithtown is proud to be a supporter of Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure, a 501(c)(3) not-forprofit. Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure is an antique and classic car show to raise money for prostate cancer testing and education.

This year’s show, the 8th annual, was held on Sunday, September 8th, at the Sears Auto Center on Broadway (Routes 106/107) in Hicksville.

In addition to being the color guard at the noon day ceremony and festivities, over 40 volunteers from the Troop assisted with

the show. Troop volunteers (including Scouts, leaders, committee members, and parents) helped with security, assisted show visitors, fed volunteer workers, and collected the show’s admission fee.

The show was a huge success. According to the Event founder, Sandy Kane there were approximately 3,000 paid visitors at the show and most importantly, 312 free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests were administered. The PSA tests can lead to the early detection of prostate cancer.

All of the proceeds collected go to prostate cancer testing and research. Sandy Kane presented a $20,000 check to the Cold Spring Harbor Labs to fund two Prostate Cancer research programs and to cover the cost of the free PSA screening at the event.

For additional information about the Show, please contact info@LICruizinForACure. com. To find out more information about Troop 3, please e-mail Scoutmaster Russell Giannotti @ troop3ny@gmail.com.

HOURGLASS HOME IMPROVEMENTS INC.

Artist Spotlight Smithtown Township Arts Council is pleased to present the First Annual “Artist Spotlight” featuring the work of a Long Island Artist. This year’s exhibition in the Mills Pond House Gallery will feature the work of Mount Sinai artist Barbara Bilotta. The exhibit opens September 27th and continues through October 11th. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, September 28th, from 2 to 5 p.m.. The public is invited to meet the artist and view her work. Mills Pond House Gallery parking is off Mills Pond Road in St. James. GPS to 199 Mills Pond Rd. Our driveway is directly across from the two whit stone pillars. Call 631.862.6575 or visit www. stacarts.org for further information.

This annual exhibition is sponsored by Gold Coast Bank and Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook who share our vision of creative enterprise. We believe that supporting Long Island’s creative industries and promoting the talents of artists who live and work on Long Island has the potential to boost our local economy

and lay a foundation for creative enterprise here on Long Island. A portion of the proceeds from sale of artwork will go directly to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital.

Barbara Bilotta considers herself an Abstract Expressionist, and her vibrant paintings certainly have the visual and emotional power that is so much a part of that school of painting. The striking abstract patterns in her works are more than just arrangements of colors and shapes. Her love of nature animates those patterns, forging a connection between pure abstraction and organic forms. Thanks to that link, a flowing arrangement of colors will also evoke the textures found in a rock’s surface or a body of water. There is an elemental strength in her images that grounds them, setting up a contrast with the artist’s dynamic use of colors and shapes. “My goal,” she says, “is to transform the natural order into a suggestive interpretation to stimulate the imagination.”

Much of that interpretation is rooted

in Bilotta’s color palette.

“I love everything that is brilliant and incredible,” she says, “and I attempt to incorporate it into my work.” This transmits itself through the bright blues, glowing yellows and intense reds that often punctuate her images, drawing the viewer’s eye into the patterns she creates. But the painter also expertly uses a whole range of subtler shades, rendering soft fields of pastel color that fade into white, or areas of rich browns and blacks. She says that one of her aims is to bring out “a beautiful interplay of light and shadows,” and is it is this which gives her images a palpable sense of physicality, even at their most abstract.

The surface of Bilotta’s paintings is also the result of an intriguing contrast.

She works mostly in acrylics glazed with resin, and notes that the acrylic’s softness and the resin’s hardness combine to create a “charged atmospheric space” in which the viewer is made to feel the movement of the paint.

That sensation pulls us strongly into her works, and makes the world she depicts a highly compelling one.

that resurfacing and covering up items in the bathroom should only be reserved for cosmetic fixes. If something needs to be replaced because it is damaged or mildewcovered, then covering it up is only hiding the problem and asking for more work in the long run.

Scale Back On Materials One way to save money on a bathroom renovation project is to choose less expensive materials. For example, you may not need to install travertine or marble flooring in a space where less expensive flooring like vinyl is adequate. Advancements in vinyl flooring have enabled this affordable material to mimic the look of more expensive materials at a fraction of the cost.

When redoing tile on walls and shower enclosures, many domestically-produced tiles rival the looks of more expensive imported alternatives. You may be able to save more by buying tile in bulk and using the remainder in other applications around the house.

Paint

Do not underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint on any room in the house, including the bathroom. Dark, small spaces can be made to look more expansive with lighter colors. Cavernous bathrooms that look empty may prove more inviting with darker hues. Pick a paint that is designed for bathroom application so that it will inhibit

the growth of mold and mildew.

Update Hardware A new faucet or some new cabinet pulls can make the room look new and fresh without breaking the bank. Match finishes throughout the bathroom so everything will be cohesive. When shopping for a new shower head, choose a model that also conserves water. This

way you will be making cosmetic and energysaving renovations at the same time.

DIY Handling labor yourself instead of hiring workers can reduce the cost of bathroom remodels considerably. It is possible to buy fully assembled bathroom vanities and install them yourself. Even installing a new toilet is

relatively easy with the help of a friend.

There are a number of ways to make bathroom renovations a bit easier and more affordable. Even nominal changes can give the space an entirely different look and feel, which can make the room more enjoyable and help improve a home’s resale value in the process.

Women’s Health Several recent studies have shown that breast MRI appears to be more sensitive than mammography. An MRI specifically designed for breast imaging, such as the Aurora Breast MRI

System, can actually detect cancerous growths as small as 1 mm. For more information or to find a breast specialist nearest you, visit www.auroramri. com.

Let The Sun Shine Many times it is to a homeowner’s advantage to open the drapes and let sunlight shine in. Still, for shift workers, parents of young children who need to nap or just those who have south- or west-facing windows that make rooms overly warm, darkening the room is necessary at certain times of the day.

The easiest and most effective way to do so is to purchase blackout

curtains. Depending on the brand and quality of the curtains, some of them may block out sunlight entirely while providing additional benefits.

While preventing sunlight from entering a room, blackout curtains, which are thicker than traditional curtains, may also be effective at insulating rooms against drafty windows and providing noise reduction.

Bathroom renovations are second to kitchen renovations on the list of the top remodeling projects to increase home value. The popularity of bathroom renovations and their ability to transform a space has left many homeowners wondering if there are any easy and affordable ways to change the look of their bathrooms.

While “easy” is a relative term, there are ways homeowners willing to make certain concessions can keep the work and cost of a bathroom renovation to a minimum.

Resurface When possible, covering up what you have in the bathroom is much less expensive and less laborintensive than tearing out existing fixtures and floors and replacing them anew.

Resurfacing can extend to refinishing bathtubs to installing shower liners.

Those who have unsightly walls or wallpaper that they’re just not ready to remove may consider using wainscotting to cover a portion of the room or even tiling entire walls.

Northport’s Music Man Dies Robert W. Krueger, Northport’s first Director of Music Education and the Founder & Director of the Northport Community Band, died recently after a short illness. He celebrated his 86th birthday in late May and had recently finished conducting his 55th consecutive season with the band, making him the longest-serving founder/ conductor of a community band in America.

Robert W. Krueger was born in Adrian, Michigan, where he attended public school. By the time he reached junior high school, Bob was taking private piano and cornet lessons. During high school, he played trumpet in dance bands throughout southern Michigan. After serving in the Air Force during World War II, he entered Northwestern University as a music education major and continued to play professionally in dance bands playing the Big Band music that was so popular during the 1930’s and 1940’s. Krueger received both his Bachelors and Masters degrees from Northwestern University.

Krueger’s first teaching position was as an instrumental music teacher for grades 4-12 in Manhasset, where his bands won statewide acclaim. In 1957 he arrived in Northport to fill the newly created position of Director of Music Education. Under Bob’s tutelage, the Northport High School Marching Band played at more NY Jets halftime shows than any other high school in the New York metropolitan area; played at the opening game of the World Series in 1981 and was the official band of New York State at the1965 World’s Fair. During his 27years in the Northport school system, he and his talented staff developed a music program that is still being followed today, and Bob earned the respect of local, state and national organizations for his contributions to school, community and music education. “Northport Music” became synonymous with a comprehensive music education program of the highest caliber. Krueger is the only person to be elected to the Presidency of both the Nassau and Suffolk County Music Educators Associations

(NMEA and SCMEA). In honor of his retirement from the Northport-East Northport Public Schools, Sunday, May 23, 1982 was proclaimed “Bob Krueger Day” in Northport

by Mayor Peter Nolan and in the Town of Huntington by Supervisor Kenneth Butterfield.

Upon his arrival in Northport, Bob learned that the bandstand beautifully situated on the Village Green adjacent to Northport Harbor had not been in use since at least World War II, and he vowed to bring music back to the park. In 1959 he and a group of 17 students and 3 adults practiced for 5 weekends, gave their first concert on a Sunday afternoon to entertain their families, friends and neighbors, and the Northport Community Band was born. Since then, over 700 people have played in the band, which has become a fixture in the community and grown to 85 members – three generations of amateur and professional musicians who practice for 2½ hours on Tuesdays and attract music lovers from all over Long Island to the Village Green each week for the group’s five Thursday evening summer concerts, which feature special groups like the Jack Daniels Silver Cornet Band and Northport Community Jazz Orchestra, as well as appearances by guest conductors and performers. A number of years ago, as a public service, the band added a special sixth concert at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center for the benefit of retired veterans and hospital staff.

After his retirement, Bob Krueger kept active with a busy music consultancy, embracing such diverse activities as Executive Director for the New York State Council of Administrators – Suffolk Chapter, in which he, for many years, supervised all details of the AllCounty Concert and also of the County’s delegates to the All-State Festival; Consultant to Newsday for the Hofstra/Newsday Marching Band Festival; Founder, and for 55 consecutive years Musical Director of the Northport Community Band; and co-founder of STEP

(Systems Toward Excellence in Performance). Krueger guest conducted and adjudicated at many music festivals throughout the Northeast. He also coordinated the Long Island Summer Music Workshop, most recently at SUNY Farmingdale, at which numerous Long Island high school marching bands hone their routines and musical skills in a college campus band camp.

To celebrate the group’s 40th anniversary and recognize Bob’s contribution to the community, then Northport Village Mayor Roxanne Browning presented a proclamation designating July 1st as Robert W. Krueger Day and unveiled a monument dedicating the gazebo as the Robert W. Krueger Bandstand. When the band celebrated its 50th anniversary, among the honors bestowed upon Bob for his service, Mayor George Doll presented him with the first-ever key to Northport Village. The Northport VA Medical Center, in a heartfelt presentation, acknowledged his service as a United States Air Force veteran and citizen, as well as his generosity, compassion, good works and noteworthy contributions to the Northport VA and entire community. In 2011 the Association of Concert Bands presented Krueger with the Herb and Jean Schultz Mentor Ideal Award. In late 2012, Bob was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame at a ceremony held at the Paramount Theater in Huntington Village.

Mr. Krueger resided in Tampa, Florida but returned to Northport every summer to conduct the Northport Community Band and direct the Long Island Summer Music Workshop.

Marjorie, Bob’s wife of 60 years, predeceased him in 2009. He is survived by his four children – Robert W. (Benita) Krueger, Jr. of Highland Park, IL; Pamela (John) Dayton of East Northport, NY; Kristi (Charlie) Carroll of Tampa, FL and Kurt (Theresa) Krueger of Tampa, FL.

I was saved by a rescue after being sent plea after plea Little did I know, freedom wasn’t free I arrived at their home filled with great hope But after one night, they just couldn’t cope Their dog didn’t like me, so now I can’t stay So into boarding I go, sitting day after day

Just give me a chance, I’ll love you til the end

What did I do to deserve to be here?

I’ve become the forgotten dog, this is my fear Alive but not living, still stuck in a cage This isn’t supposed to happen after being saved

So I’m here to remind you that I’m still here alone Feeling defeated and giving up hope My spirit is breaking, I try to be brave The forgotten dog, I am wondering why I was saved Sometimes I think death would be better, better than sitting in boarding forever.

I long for a family to call my own A yard, a warm bed and love to be shown I promise to love you and be your best friend

But still I sit here month after month The forgotten dog I am, no one has come All good intentions to save me from hell But you moved on to the next one and wished the rescuers well

long summer and help it survive the potentially harsh months that lie ahead. Aerating, which involves puncturing the soil or removing cores of soil from the ground, can restore a lawn to health by improving its drainage and allowing more water and air to reach the roots of the grass. Aerating also makes it easier for nutrients to penetrate the soil, which encourages a healthier lawn over the long haul.

Aerators can be purchased or rented, but homeowners uncomfortable with the process may want to enlist a professional to tackle the job. Parents of small children who spend lots of time in the yard may need to aerate their lawn more than most, as heavy lawn traffic compresses the soil, a potentially harmful process that can be reversed via aeration.

• Take steps to strengthen the roots.

Aerating promotes stronger roots, but homeowners might also want to find a winterizing product with potassium and phosphorous, both of which can strengthen roots. Different types of lawns will respond differently to certain winterizers, so discuss your options with a lawn care professional who can help you find the right fit for your property.

• Remove debris from the lawn. Debris left on a lawn over the winter can prove very harmful. Piles of debris left scattered around a lawn can suffocate the blades of grass, leading to long-term damage and a potentially unsightly lawn come the spring. In addition, piles

of debris might make good homes for organisms that can damage the lawn. As fall moves into winter, periodically remove all debris, including leaves and branches fallen from trees.

• Make the lawn off-limits once the temperatures dip below freezing. A lawn should be off-limits once the ground freezes. Stepping on grass that has frozen will leave noticeable footprints, and walking on frozen grass can kill the turf. When winter arrives, people should avoid using the lawn as a shortcut into and out of your home and stick to driveways and sidewalks instead.

DEREK - #3-363 friendly male kitten, about 12 weeks-old

Changing seasons can be tough on a lawn. Always exposed to the elements, lawns can fare especially poorly upon the arrival of winter, a season known for its harsh and unforgiving weather. Even the most perfectly manicured lawn can suffer at the hands of winter weather, causing homeowners to sit idly by and hope spring arrives that much sooner.

But as punishing as winter weather can be on a lawn, homeowners are not without recourse. Much like homeowners can take steps to help their lawns survive sizzling summer heat waves during the warmer months of the year, they also can take steps to help their lawns make it through the often stormy weather synonymous with winter.

• Don’t procrastinate.

Putting off the process of winterizing a lawn can put that lawn in jeopardy.

Lawns will turn dormant the closer you get to winter, and they may reject the nutrients found in fertilizer as a result.

Those nutrients will prove valuable once spring weather returns, so start the winterization process in early fall so the lawn has sufficient time to absorb nutrients and strengthen itself for the seasons to come.

• Treat trouble spots.

Summer can be even harder on a lawn than winter, especially for those lawns located in regions where heat waves and drought are common. In such instances, certain spots on the lawn seem to be hit harder than others, and those spots should get special attention when winterizing the lawn. Check the soil’s pH levels before fertilizing or applying any treatments.

Such a test will reveal which spots need the most attention, and treating trouble spots now will make spring lawn care that much easier.

• Aerate the property.

Aerating can help a lawn recover after a

The summer plans included both participating with Troop 343 at the week-long Summer Camp experience at Minsi Scout Reservation in Pennsylvania and also going to the National Boy Scouts of America’s High Adventure Florida Sea Base to live on an Out Island for six days in August with five fellow scouts and three adult volunteer leaders (including his Assistant Scoutmaster Dad) to test their survival skills.

Eagle Scout Sal Sparacino is part of the Hauppauge High School’s National Honor Society and a member of the Varsity Track where he runs hurdles and throws discus since Middle School.

He is Vice President in the Hauppauge High School’s Robotics Club, and is a participant in the Technology Club and the Science Olympiads. For the past two summers he has worked at Suffolk County Council (BSA)’s Cub Scout Day Camp as a camp counselor and volunteered at Smithtown Historical Society to assist with their classes.

The newest Eagle Scout of Troop 343 was honored with many presentations from community dignitaries as well as with many commendation letters and plaques (one of which from Pope Francis in Rome) and an American Flag which had been flown over the Capitol Building in Washington DC in his honor. His Keynote Speakers were his Hauppauge Robotics Eagle advisor, Mr. Mark McLeod and his Middle School Boy Scout advisory teacher, Mr. Jeff Parrett. Earning the Rank of Eagle, having everyone gathered together and hearing all the accolades presented to him that day, was one of Sal’s proudest moments in his life and in that of his parents.

Entering his Junior year at Hauppauge High School, he plans to attend a college majoring in Engineering when he graduates. Salvatore Sparacino IV and his parents Salvatore and Donna Sparacino are Smithtown residents.

Involved in scouting for ten years, his goal during that whole time has been to earn the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout by 16 years old. He started in 1st grade as a Tiger Cub with Cub Scout Pack 68 in Smithtown where he earned numerous advancement belt loops and pins and as a Webelos, earned his Arrow of Light (the highest rank that can be earned in Cub Scouts). He also earned his Catholic Emblems, the Light of Christ and the Parvuli Dei religious emblems.

In 2008, he joined Boy Scout Troop 343 in Hauppauge.

He has held several leadership positions since that time, including Patrol Leader, Instructor, Assistant Senior

A special Eagle Court of honor to recognize Salvatore Sparacino IV was held at St. Thomas More Church on July 14th, where dignitaries, Troop members, family and friends joined together to help celebrate his earning Scouting’s highest rank advancement and honor.

In order to earn this rank, the scout must earn 21 Merit Badges and create a community service project.

Eagle Scout Sparacino’s Community Service Project was to build two chess & checker tables with benches on the lawn of the Smithtown Library’s Main Branch. It has already benefited the library and the community by giving people a place to play chess and checkers outside.

They can also been used as picnic tables, for seating during the summer concerts and by the Library’s Chess Club.

The Eagle Scout Community Service Project is primarily one of leadership which includes fundraising to cover the cost of any materials that were not donated, as well as to lead others in the creation of the final project. This was made possible by having two bake sales outside the Smithtown Library during their Summer Concert Series in 2012 and Smithtown Concrete’s generous donation of materials. With help from his parents (with his Dad as his Eagle Scout Mentor), Troop 343 Boy Scouts, friends and adults, Eagle Scout Sparacino was assisted in designing and building of the table tops made from concrete and inlaid porcelain tiles for the chess board. They used recycled blocks for the base of the table and benches and IPE wood for the top of the benches. Final time spent on the project from idea inception to completion: Sal Sparacino spent 170 hours on his project with a total of an additional 323 hours spent from 26 volunteers. He set his sights on earning the rank of Eagle Scout during the 2012 Eagle Scout Centennial year, and at 15 years old and a sophomore in Hauppauge High School, he became Troop’s 343 81st Eagle Scout, one of the youngest Eagles in the troop history.

The newest Eagle Scout commented, “It gives me great pride to pass the Library and see people sitting at the tables. I thought this project would be a good way to challenge myself while benefiting the Library.”

Prep Before Painting Painting a home’s interior can give it a completely new look and feel. A fresh coat of paint can make a room feel more vibrant and up-todate, creating a whole new attitude within the room without breaking the bank.

Whether creating an accent wall or painting each wall within a room, painting is a relatively easy and inexpensive home improvement project.

But that doesn’t mean painting does not require a

little prep work before the project can begin.

• Address any holes or bumps on the wall. Holes or cracks in the wall will need to be patched with spackle, which then must dry before the wall can be given a new coat of paint.

In addition, sand down any bumps until the walls are smooth and free of any unsightly abnormalities.

• Wash the walls. Walls can get dirty, and that dirt may or may not be masked by paint. Before adding a

new coat of paint, wash the walls and inspect them for dust. Dust can collect on molding, especially in rooms that get little natural air. When dust has collected on the molding and around doorways and trim, use a damp cloth to wipe it away before adding any new paint.

• Apply primer. Primer can serve many functions, not the least of which is its role as a bonding agent between the wall and the top coat of paint. Primer

UNIT LEADER AWARD - At the September Matinecock District Boy Scout and Cub Scout Roundtable meeting, the Unit Leader Award of Merit was presented to Kurt Rosenhagen of Troop 218 (Huntington Station) by Matinecock District Training Chair Greg Aylmer.

can also help conceal dark colors, prevent stains and increase the life expectancy of the paint job you are about to undertake.

• Prepare your paint.

Preparing the paint is a simple task, but one novice painters may not be aware of. When opening a new can of paint, stir the paint before using it. In addition, even if you don’t plan to use a roller when painting, do not paint straight from the can, which can be heavier to hold than a small bowl,

and a light bowl is less likely to be spilled than a potentially heavy can of paint. In addition, once paint has been removed from the can, replace the lid so dust and other impurities do not settle in the can.

• Purchase painter’s tape. Painter’s tape can be especially valuable to novice painters. Painter’s tape makes it easier to paint smooth and clean paint lines, giving a room a more professional looking

coat of paint without the cost of hiring a professional painter.

Painting can be an inexpensive and fun way to upgrade a home’s interior. But even though painting does not require the technical know-how of more large-scale home improvement projects, it still requires some prep work and attention to detail to ensure the job is done right.

SUMMERTIME AWARD - At the September Matinecock District Boy Scout and Cub Scout Roundtable meeting, Huntington’s Cub Scout Pack 181 is recognized with the National Cub Scout Summertime Award for providing the Cub Scouts with a program of events to participate in during the summer season. Accepting the award for Pack 181 of Huntington is Cubmaster Edie Pulizzotto.
