Charles R. Puls
Inactivity was not part of his DNA and his innovative ideas could be seen in his layout design of their house in Shoreham Village and the one on Shelter Island, both of which he acted as general contractor. He enjoyed golf and sailing, but with limited free time, chose sailing. Luckily, his enthusiasm for that wasn’t in competition with his love for his wife as she too is an avid sailor. His love for the sea and boating was passed on and enjoyed by his children and grandchildren. He sailed right up until he was 82.

PERSPECTIVE
Search engines, data analytics and effective profiles are just a few terms social media companies use when collecting our personal data for targeted advertisements. The days of newspaper advertisements, TV commercials and door-to-door sales are fading. The new form of marketing, used by social media platforms to mine our data, is putting our personal information at risk of identity theft and other forms of cybercrime.Withan unrestrained focus on accumulating our information including our name, address, phone number, email address, age, birthday, occupation, where you shop, etc., media platforms continue to mine our data to sell to third party companies that influence our day-to-day decisions on the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the car we buy and more.
Sarah Anker is Suffolk County legislator for Legislative District 6.
In addition to gang violence, social media has become the superhighway for drug sales which have led to an astronomical increase in opioid overdose deaths. And currently, Suffolk County is in the midst of a data breach that has closed down all county computer networking.Cybermedia titans, including the billionaire owners of Google, YouTube, Waze, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, need to be held accountable when it comes to protecting the public. Consumers may seem like grains of sand in their datamining operations, but there needs to be limits on how much information a company can mine. California, Maine and the European Union have instituted restrictions on data mining, including opting in when asked for a person’s personal data to be sold to a third party instead of automatically having one’s personal information be taken. It’s time New York State does the same.
My daughter recently had her Instagram account hacked. It took over a month to resolve the issue. In that time the hackers stole her personal information and used it to sell cryptocurrency. Many social media users are being extorted by hackers to pay ransom money to get their accounts back.

Newspapers are LOCAL. We are dedicated to keeping you informed, safe and connected and care about the issues that are important to our neighbors, our schools and our businesses.
In a recent letter to state Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), I expressed my concerns with the issue of data privacy and social media platforms. As we have experienced with the opioid epidemic crisis, if big corporations and government don’t work together to protect consumers, it can have a devastating effect.
Local businesses and restaurants need your support more than ever. Whether you visit stores, get delivery or shop online, keep your spending local and keep your community healthy.
TBR News Media’s Police Blotter has been temporarily suspended due to a possible cyber intrusion to the Suffolk County government website that supplies us with the latest police incidents. A spokeswoman for Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said the system will remain offline while they verify and assess the ongoing situation. We hope to be back next week.
Social media puts personal information at risk
As we transition to this cyber form of marketing, the question needs to be asked: “Who is protecting our personal information?”Shouldwe be concerned that Apple admitted to listening in on conversations, which they say was due to accidental triggers mainly on Apple pods and watches; or the increase in impulse buying due to analytic target marketing; or the issue of our information ending up on the dark web due to the proliferation of data mining; or the cyber scams targeting senior citizens; or perhaps the recent call from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores, due to security concerns with China and the recent discovery that the app tracks every keystroke made by its users including passwords and credit card numbers? The problem is that not enough is being done to protect our personal data. Social media platforms need to be more accountable in protecting our privacy, especially when it comes to cybercrime targeting our children.

The Smithtown West football team simply would not allow itself to be removed from its opening game against the Northport Tigers on Friday night, Sept. 9, as they battled back from multiple double-digit deficits against the heavily favored visitors.
“We gave up a few long passes in the second half, but our run defense was great the whole game,” Cleary said. “We’ll polish our coverages in practice this week for sure.”
Northport will host Half Hollow Hills East for its home opener on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The Thunderbirds beat the Tigers last October, 35-21.
SPORTS
seemed to have complete control. But as they did in the 2021 regular season finale at Northport, West fought on.
Northport opens up big lead, Smithtown West battles back but falls short
The contest’s opening few possessions didn’t give off any signs it would be a close game. The Bulls went backwards on their first offensive possession and after a three and out, punted to Northport and their versatile weapon “Every-Down” Emmett Radziul, who took the kick 31 yards deep into Bulls territory. Radziul would also have an interception in the second half.
BY STEVEN ZAITZ DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
All Suffolk Tiger linebacker and team captain Tim Cleary led the team with six tackles and along with Miller, defensive end Matt Diaz and defensive linemen Justin Macke and Mason Hecht, put heavy pressure on Stahl from the opening whistle. The senior quarterback for West would finish with 19 for 32 with 267 yards passing and three touchdowns.
On Northport’s very next possession Johansen, who had 106 yards passing and 98 yards on the ground, had a pass deflect off of Miller’s hands and into the arms of Lapraire and the Bulls again took to the comeback trail. Stahl took over at his own 38, hit four completions in a row and gave the ball to tailback Brian Hope to close the deal, which he did with a four-yard touchdown run off right tackle. With 10:30 remaining it was 2722 — again a one-score game.
A kickoff return to midfield by wide receiver Tim Vanderbink breathed some life into the Bulls. Their standout quarterback Brayden Stahl calmly hit wide receiver Jacque Lapraire, who got inside position on defense back Christian Raio, and made a toe-tapping, one-handed catch for a 22-yard touchdown and it was 20-9 with 2:30 left in the half. Raio had good coverage, but it was a perfect pass and a great play by Laprarie, capping a 50yard drive in less than a minute.
The Tigers rushed for 230 yards for the game and with five minutes to go in the half
Stahl would hit on a 37-yard bomb that got the ball to the Tiger 12. On the next snap he rolled to his right and threw what looked like a damaging interception into traffic in the end zone. But it was deflected twice and somehow ended up in the belly of Bull running back Nick Briffa for an extremely serendipitous touchdown for Smithtown. It was now 34-30 Northport after Stahl converted a two point try. The pendulum had swung West once again. But it was Johansen, who made the keynote to Miller on the opening drive, put the final imprint on it as well. On a waggle keeper right, O.J. rumbled down the Northport sidelines for a gain of 26, carrying half the Bull defense on his back for the last 10 yards. The Tigers ran out the clock and finally cleaned the gum off their cleats.
“We can’t let guys run free like that behind our defense,” said Northport Head Coach Pat Campbell. “I think they have a very underrated team and (Stahl) is a very good quarterback, but defensive breakdowns like that is stuff that we are going to have to clean up. It can’t happen.”

“It felt amazing to score my first varsity touchdown,” Demarco said. “The offensive line definitely played great tonight.”
However, the Bulls fell one bullet short, and Northport’s star quarterback, Owen Johansen, put the game away with a long run that gave the Tigers a first down in the final minute and allowed them to escape Smithtown with a 34-30 win.
Have you ever gotten gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe?It’s nearly impossible to get rid of.
The Tigers defense got a respite to start the second half and the offense did a great job in keeping the suddenly smoking hot Stahl seated firmly on the bench. Johansen engineered at 13 play, 64 yard drive which included four 3rd down conversions and was capped off by the first of running back Giancarlo Valenti’s two second half touchdown runs. It put the Tigers ahead 27-16 and chewed up the first six minutes of the third quarter. Northport fans could relax again with a two-score lead, right?
Three plays after Emmett’s punt return, Tiger tight end Andrew Miller pranced into the end zone with a 21-yard touchdown catch, one of Miller’s two touchdowns in the first quarter. When running back Andrew DeMarco plunged in from the two-yard line midway through the second quarter, Northport took a 20-3 lead.
Valenti would answer. After an electrifying quarterback draw by Johansen went for 38 yards, the junior tailback would dart up the middle for his second touchdown in less than 10 minutes. Valenti finished with 91 yards rushing, 22 receiving and 2 TDs. This one put the Tigers
up 34-22 and the Bulls were finally toast. Except they weren’t.
“We need to read our keys on defense a lot better going forward,” said the never-satisfied Campbell. “We can’t let people run down the middle of the field like that, but it’s the first game. We ran the ball for 230 yards, so obviously I’m happy with that, and Owen hit some big time passes early on to Andrew and I think that opened up our running game. We have some work to do for next week.”
After a Northport three and out, the Bulls got the ball back with under two minutes to play at their own 42. After two mediumsized completions, Stahl hit a wide open Jack Melore, who had gotten past everyone and had himself a 25-yard touchdown catch. It was now 20-16 and the home crowd, that up until that point had been reduced to a dull murmur, were shaking the bleachers with delight.

Finally, Sertoff cites the report “There Is No Climate Emergency.” This is not a scientific paper; it is a rehash of the usual claims and obfuscations the corporatefinanced, climate-change-denial community has been pushing for years. Published by a right-wing Dutch think-tank setup and financed by a Dutch political party, the farright “nationalist” Forum for Democracy, it echoes the views and publications of The Heartland Institute, the Cato Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which supplied many signatories — all members of the Atlas Network, funded by “the generosity of foundations, individuals and corporations.”
We hold that this bottom-up approach is the best course of action, both for our residents and nation. Locally, our voices ring louder, our votes weightier. Let’s fix our problems here first, then set our sights on issues further from home.
We must first create a solid foundation to build something meant to last. May we heal this divided but unbroken nation. May we find solutions to problems both near and far. And may we never lose faith in the principles that unite us as community members and Americans.

It is tragic that the once-invaluable Republican Party has mostly supported this man. Instead of trying to deal with the real causes of dissatisfaction that have fueled the MAGA movement, most of the Republican Party has pandered to it while giving tax cuts to the rich. Millions of good Americans have been duped by this conman, who has done nothing to deal with their real pain. Now the very democracy which we celebrate and on which we all depend is threatened.
On a national stage, two U.S presidents are in a tug-ofwar for the soul of our nation.

Not fruitful exchanges of opinion
ArnoldStonyWishniaBrook
If trying to bully state officials into falsifying the vote isn’t anti-democratic, I don’t know what is.
British?Insadness,
We are wrestling with these unsettled questions right now. At the local level, our citizens learn how systems operate. With this understanding, we begin breaking down the great questions into bite-sized, manageable tasks.
File photo
Earlier this month, President Joe Biden (D) and former President Donald Trump (R) presented disparate visions for the American future. Despite diametrically opposing messages, one theme unifies these speeches: Americans stand at a crossroads in our history, and our trajectory is undecided.
Editorial
The Big Lie relies on endless, relentless, shameless repetition, in this country by billionaire-financed cynical interest groups, until uninformed hearers are saturated, while the truth struggles to be heard. This newspaper continues to publish letters by former President Donald Trump [R] Big Lie supporters in the teeth of the truth. These are not “fruitful exchanges of opinion,” it is irresponsible.Another Big Lie is climate-change denial, promoted by two recent letters. Gene Sprouse’s masterful rebuttal in his Perspective piece [The Village Times Herald, Aug. 11] of the first letter by Michael Meltzer [“Not a climate change denier,” VTH, Aug. 4] should have ended the discussion. The “dispute” continues simply because Big Oil has had the resources and will to wage a 60-year disinformation campaign, creating right-wing think tanks to give the color of science to its lies. Right-wing politicians have latched on for ideological reasons — Ayn Rand/Friedrich Hayek absolutely unbridled capitalism — and more mundane self-interest: massive political contributions.
If trying to bully the vice president, Mike Pence [R], to violate the Constitution and decertify the vote of the Electoral College, I don’t know what is. If refusing to concede an election President Donald Trump [R] knew he lost isn’t anti-democratic, I don’t know what is. If broadcasting the Big Lie that the election was stolen isn’t anti-democratic, I don’t know what is. If instigating an insurrection designed to intimidate Congress into decertifying the election isn’t antidemocratic, I don’t know what is.

Letters to the editor
In time, we will accumulate small wins. This formula can be scaled, meaning we can soon apply our takeaways from local politics to the higher levels of government.
To heal a wounded nation, start locally
From town and village halls to school boards, environmental demonstrations, civic meetings, and everything in between, our residents grapple with the most pressing issues confronting our communities. We find particular examples of the nation’s broader, systemic issues within these forums.
The ongoing intimidation of election officials by MAGA militias is reminiscent of the Brown Shirts of the early 1930s in Germany, and is a clear danger to democracy. Yes, our democracy is in grave danger brought
some random thoughts follow: “Keep calm and carry on,” stiff upper lip, queuing peacefully, moaning about the rules (usually created by the French pre-Brexit) but obeying them to the letter (unlike the French), driving on the left, the National Trust and its stately home treasures from the past, Twickenham, Wembley, Wimbledon, Ascot and Lords, Last Night of the Proms, Prime Minister’s Questions, meeting Princess Diana, being able to travel anywhere in the world where my origins, language and culture are at the minimum accepted and respected, not having to know the names of those appointed on merit from within the judiciary to serve on the nation’s Supreme Court, fish and chips, compassion never better expressed than by Ralph McTell’s brilliant comment on homelessness in “Streets of London,” a respect for history and its anachronistic imposition of a system of government where the head of state has been loved and respected by all. Finally, and above all else for all of my life — Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, acknowledged simply as “The Queen” throughout the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the world.
The second paragraph of Sertoff’s letter, regarding wind and solar generation costs, is fiction: a disaster-movie scenario of hypothetical catastrophes from renewable-energy implementation. Let me recall just one incident: The British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon explosion of April 20, 2010, which killed 11 men, and spilled 4.9 million barrels of oil about 40 miles offshore from Louisiana by July 12, with more leaking for many months. The surface slick from the leak before the well was sealed covered more than 57,000
Numerous problems plague our policymakers in Washington, from national security, economic uncertainty, immigration policy, among many others. In the face of these seemingly unanswerable questions, we must remember that all politics is local. Before we can even consider pondering the great questions of our time, we must first get our affairs in order here at the community level.
The most recent letter, “Net-zero carbon issues” [VTH, Sept. 1], from Mark Sertoff, regurgitates fossil-fuel corporate propaganda. He claims European countries have embraced zero-carbon policies with catastrophic results. The premise is simply false: European governments, all right wing from Great Britain to Poland, might give lip service to zero carbon, but continue to rely on fossil fuels: many on Russian supplies, which were cut off, the U.K. on North Sea oil and gas, and all on the OPEC-BP-ExxonMobil nexus. Half of Britain will face the choice of heating or eating this winter, because fossil-fuel companies have tripled prices, essentially because they could — the Tories would not challenge their market power and political power. The only blackouts I know about occurred in Texas in February 2021, where the grossly unprepared and unregulated power grid — deliberately not connected to the two major national grids — collapsed and people froze to death.
As a Brit with 42 years on the clock in the U.S., I have become used to those looking on me with bemusement or suspicion for not taking citizenship but tolerated for my strange British sense of humor nevertheless.
It is hard to believe that Susan Kerr and I heard the same speech by President [Joe] BidenHer[D].letter of Sept. 8, [“Biden fails at uniting nation”] was wrongheaded, and clearly misunderstands what he said. The president accused only MAGA Republicans of being a danger to democracy, not all Republicans. Further, the characterization of Biden as “Adolfstyle” was out of line and beyond the pale of reasonable discussion.
What does it mean to have a representative voice in government? What is an equitable distribution of public resources? How and where should we build, and to what end?
The anti-democratic MAGA movement
It has been touching to have received from local friends “deepest and sincere condolences” for my loss as though I was a member of the Royal Family myself. A mark, I know, of the respect held here for Queen Elizabeth II, the Anglophile feelings she generated and an acknowledgment of what being British means to me.
So, then what does it mean to me to be

square miles, and 1,300 miles of shoreline along five states; more important, 35,000 square miles of sea floor were covered. The damage to marine life was incalculable; people who depended on fish and shellfish harvests were devastated. In economic terms, BP said in 2015 its total pre-tax charge for the spill “now stands at $53.8 billion.” It had cut way too many safety corners in the interests of profit.
They made a cake and had tea, “aware that this was probably the last time” they would celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s lengthy legacy, Evans recalled in an email.
Gillian Evans, meanwhile, traveled with her family to visit her aunt, who, at the time, was the only one in her family who owned a television.
Of course, we made noises, too, and otherwise let our presence be known. That was apartment living and somehow, we all survived it.
“It was lovely to see what a beautiful spectacle it was,” Gillian Evans said.
“You can’t play that game indoors,” my mother explained. “It bothers the neighbors.”
I’m skipping over the years of squeaky violin music being practiced in the apartment to the left of ours, the midnight screaming by the couple two apartments further down the hall, the acrid smell of cooking from the apartment to the right of us each night, and so many other instances giving proof that we were not alone in our building.
“What a remarkable lady she had been,” Gillian Evans added. “She said she would give herself to the nation for as long as she lived, and she did. Right up to the very, very last, which is wonderful.”
tears and running to find my mother.
Residents of Suffolk, England, Evans’s parents Philip and Gillian shared memories and thoughts on Queen Elizabeth II, who died last week at the age of 96.
From Suffolk, UK, to Suffolk, NY, a family reflects on the late queen
you grew up in an urban apartment, as I did, you would marvel, as I do, at living now in a house. Some of my earliest memories involve neighbors in the building. For example, I loved to play jacks, a game on a hardwood floor with a bouncy rubber ball and 10 small metal pieces (called jacks), each to be lifted after the ball bounces but before it drops. When played, it surely made tapping noises on the ceiling of the apartment below, but that was nothing compared to the banging with what was probably a broomstick that the downstairs neighbor used to retaliate. The jacks trembled with each blow, and I certainly trembled at the attack. I remember bursting into
Philip Evans has noticed that the church bells ringing in the aftermath of her death don’t have their typical sound.

After a night filled with an early June rain in 1953, Evans and his brother awaited the moment to see the queen, whose coronation occurred 16 months after she became queen.
The next morning, as crowds continued to grow, the police pushed the newer arrivals in front of the group, which meant Phillip was in the third tier of Throughonlookers.thecrowd, he caught a glimpse of the young queen, offering a stiff wave to her subjects.

Philip Evans, who said the queen did “jolly well,” recognized that the queen made mistakes, one of which arose during her muted reaction to the death of Princess Diana in a car crash in 1997.
During a recent visit to the ophthalmologist, Evans chatted with three people about the queen and her son Charles, who has now become King Charles III.
The first time I lived in a house was when my husband was in the air force, and we were in base housing. To me, it was miraculously quiet, even though airplanes flew in regular intervals over our heads. “Someday we will have a house of our own, yes?” I asked my husband and kissed him when he agreed.Sothen we moved to the North Shore of Long Island and had our own house. That was when I discovered that a house was a living thing. It needed tending regularly. The toilet wouldn’t flush, the kitchen faucet dripped, the light fixture sizzled out, the venetian blind got stuck in the open position, the dishwasher wouldn’t dispense soap, the cabinet door was askew, there were ants in the basement and the front door knob threatened to fall off.
But unlike in the service, there was no one to call who would cheerfully arrive, fix the problem, then wish us a good day and leave. Oh, we could summon repair people to come, but when they left, we were less than cheerful. They had each gone off with a large chunk of our disposable income. In fact, we were lucky if we didn’t have more than
“It’s very alarming and tells you that something is odd,” Evans said.
While Gillian Evans thought such conditions
The sound alternates between loud and muted. The churches are using a so-called half-muffled peal, which creates a somber echo. The bells rang the same way last year after Prince Philip’s death.
As the country prepares for the funeral of a queen born eight years after the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918 and who died two years after COVID-19, Clary Evans recognized that Queen Elizabeth II was a “link to those values of duty and service that were strong in those war and post-war years.”

Another memory involves my husband and me, shortly after we were married and had moved into our first apartment. Canadian Royal Mounted Police aerobic exercises were popular then, we had bought the book and were in the first few lunges after work one evening when there was a loud knocking at our door. When my husband opened it, an older couple shouted at us that we were bringing down the ceiling on their heads, and what were we doing up there, anyway?
“It was a marvelous thing to do,” Evans said by phone from his home. The travel and waiting in the rain meant it “wasn’t easy.”
one problem per month. Usually, the breakdowns seemed to caucus with each other and happen all at once.We still love our house. You might ask, why? The answer is simple. We have found a handyman. Just as every first baby should come with an instruction manual, every house should be accompanied by a handyman. This person is a quiet, unsung hero. He, and it’s almost always a he, arrives with little fanfare shortly after he is called, carries two screwdrivers, a regular and a Phillips head, a hammer, a wrench, maybe some tape and seemingly little else. He squats down and patiently analyses each problem, pulls out the uncomplicated tool and sets everything right.
