town Huntington may explore term limits for town officials By VICtorIa esPInoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Term limits could be the law of the future, as one Huntington town councilman is looking to the public for encouragement on drafting legislation for term limits for local offices. Back in late June, Councilman Gene Cook (R) asked Huntington residents and business owners to let him know their thoughts on term limits for all elected officials in the town. The survey asked if people were in favor of term limits, supported them for all elected officials and if they supported two terms of four years each or three terms of four years each for officials. By mid-July the results were in and Cook feels positive about moving forward to schedule a public hearing to hear more from the residents on the matter. “For years I have wanted term limits,” Cook said in a phone interview. “So many people have come up to me on the street and said we should have term limits for everyone. I truly believe in it, and I think it makes for a healthier environment.” According to Cook’s office, 98.07 percent of the people who responded are in favor of term limits, 86.54 percent supported that term limits include all elected officials,

‘In the six years that I have served Huntington I have had many conversations with Huntington constituents regarding their thoughts on the need for term limits.’ — Gene Cook 63.46 percent supported two terms of four years compared to 17.31 percent for three terms of four years each. Cook said he went to Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) after he got the results and said he plans to present a resolution for a public hearing for proposed legislation on term limits scheduled for the September town board meeting. The proposed legislation would support term limits of two terms of four years each for all elected officials including town supervisor, town council, town clerk, receiver of taxes and superintendent of highways. This legislation also includes if the town board ever wishes to change term limits

that it go before a public referendum. “I feel very strongly about this, that it’s the right thing to do,” Cook said. “In a business world it’s always good to have competition, it should be the same in politics. We can make government better by doing this.” Petrone, who has served the town for

more than 20 years, said he’s going into these discussions with an open mind. “I objected in the past because drafts didn’t include all elected officials,” he said in a phone interview. “But I believe this may be different. In the past I’ve said if we had term limits it should be all the way up the line to Congress.” The supervisor said he’ll see if a public hearing is a better vehicle to get information. Cook said he hopes he can get bipartisan support for this bill and show that real leadership starts at the town level. He will be sponsoring a resolution to schedule a public hearing in September on term limits at the Aug. 15 town board meeting. “It is extremely vital for the future of Huntington that the residents and business owners take the time out of their busy day to attend either the August ... meeting at 2 p.m., the September ... meeting at 7 p.m. or email Jo-Ann Raia, Huntington town clerk to ensure their voices are heard on term limits,” Cook said in a statement. “In the six years that I have served Huntington I have had many conversations with Huntington constituents regarding their thoughts on the need for term limits. This is why I have taken a stance to sponsor legislation this important topic.”

Greenlawn girl meets her new four-legged best friend By Jenna Lennon After interviews, reference forms, applications and a year and a half of waiting, 10thgrader Meghan Chiodo from Greenlawn was finally able to meet her assistance dog, Polly. Meghan and Polly were introduced thanks to Canine Companions for Independence Wednesday, July 26, at the nonprofit’s headquarters in Medford. Polly, a black female Labrador-Golden

Retriever will help Meghan with many different tasks aside from becoming a loyal and loving companion. Meghan was born with spina bifida and has little to no feeling or control of her legs from her knees down, so Polly will be especially helpful with giving her all the assistance she needs. “Meghan is sort of an ideal candidate in the sense that she’s in that age where she wants to be more independent and the dog can really help provide that to her especially as she’s getting into her later years of high school,” Jessica Reiss-Cardinali, the participant program manager for the Northeast Region of Canine Companions said in an interview. Meghan said Polly will help with tasks like “bringing my laundry from the living room to my room ... the dog can carry something or I can carry it and the dog can open the door,” she said at the event. “I think those are the two [commands] I’ll probably use the most.” Meghan’s mother Kerri said Polly will be a great assistance around the house. “The wheelchair is now in our home, so she doesn’t have her hands free always,” her mom said. “So the dog will provide an extra set of hands for her for a little more independence and companionship. That’s going to be a big one. She’s one of four children. She’s the youngest, two are leaving off for college, so it’s nice to have a buddy.” Canine Companions, the nation’s largest provider for trained assistance dogs,

Above and below, veterans enjoy a day of sailing in Northport Harbor last year.

Take a vet sailing in Centerport this Sunday

146751

146753

This Sunday, Aug. 6 the Centerport Yacht Club will be hosting SailAhead’s third annual “Let’s Take a Veteran Sailing.” With the support of Greenlawn American Legion Post 1244, more than 140 veterans and family members, mostly from Long Island, will attend this event on a fleet of at least 45 sailboats. Special SailAhead guests this year will be the families of Our Mates. Our Mates are represented by the name tags of 219 veterans who have taken their lives because of PTSD or an inability to re-adapt to civilian life. SailAhead will honor the memory of these 219 veterans by bringing some of their families here from all across the country; they will be flown in free of charge to them. This serves to show that they are not forgotten, and they don’t have to suffer alone. The purposes of this annual event are to honor and remember Our Mates and their family members, spread PTSD awareness throughout the community and spread awareness of SailAhead’s program so that

more wounded veterans can be helped. The sailing event will last 8 hours. The flotilla will sail together on Long Island Sound and a helicopter will fly through the fleet to take photos and video. To learn more about this event contact Sean Duclay at sean@sailahead.org or (631) 662-9132, or visit Sail Ahead’s website at www.sailahead.org.

Vietnam vets honored during North Shore concert By KEVin rEdding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com When Charles Murphy returned home to Northport in 1971 after serving 14 months in the Vietnam War, he wasn’t greeted with open arms or hand shakes. In fact, it was just the opposite. “There was no band, no rallies, no thank you’s,” said Murphy, 68, an Army veteran. “You went back into the population and tried to cope with who you were. And you were a different person then. As a group, we Vietnam vets got the short end of the stick.” Thomas Semkow, 71, who was in Vietnam between 1968 and 1969, said he remembers being looked down on when he came home. “People weren’t very nice to us,” the Wading River resident said. “We were the outcasts of society.” But Aug. 1 — more than 50 years since members of the U.S. Armed Forces first set foot on the battlegrounds in Vietnam — Murphy, Semkow and dozens of other Vietnam veterans within Rocky Point VFW Post 6249 and beyond finally got the recognition they’ve always deserved. It happened during the intermission of Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (DMount Sinai) and the VFW’s annual Rocky Point free concert series. Each of them stood together in front of

a grand stage outside St. Anthony of Padua R.C. Church as Anker and Military Liaison Steven Castleton presented Vietnam veteran lapel pins on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense and a special proclamation signed by President Barack Obama in 2012. Family members of veterans were also honored. The veterans smiled with gratitude and hundreds of residents applauded as they received the accolades. Part of the proclamation read, “Let us strive to live up to their example by showing our Vietnam veterans, their families, and all who have served the fullest respect and support of a grateful nation.” “I salute you all, thank you for your service … and welcome home,” said Joe Cognitore, the VFW post commander. Cognitore, who served in an Army reconnaissance unit in Vietnam between 1969 and 1971, said the VFW has been putting on summer concerts for the community for more than 10 years and was excited at the prospect of giving back to those who warrant the attention. “They were never welcomed home, and so I’m anxious to see them all come up tonight,” Cognitore said earlier in the evening. “Us Vietnam veterans look out for the guys and girls that are out serving now — we’re dedicating our lives to help them. Men and women who serve today are just unbelievable and we don’t want anything to happen

He said it felt really good to be recognized not just with medals, but love and support from the community. “Recently, when I had my Vietnam veteran hat on walking into K-Mart, six or seven people thanked me and wanted to shake my hand before I even got in the store,” Guida said. “That’s a foreign concept to me and it really brings a certain reality to what you did and shows that people do appreciate it.” Members from the Long Island Young Marines stood holding flags during the

concert’s opening pledge of allegiance and “God Bless America” performance before Cognitore addressed all the veterans in the crowd, from those who served in World War II to those currently enlisted. The pin and proclamation ceremony ended with residents and veterans holding hands in a large group circle, swaying and raising them in the air to the chorus of the Southbound band’s cover of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.” “We’re all forever brothers,” Murphy said of his fellow Vietnam veterans. “No matter where we go. Forever brothers. We’re the only ones who know what we dealt with.”

SCPD disavows Trump’s ‘don’t be too nice’ comments By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com A presidential visit to Suffolk County ended with the Suffolk County Police Department distancing itself from President Donald Trump’s (R) comments encouraging police officers to use more force with suspects at an event in Brentwood Friday, July 28. “Please don’t be too nice,” Trump said to an audience of Suffolk County Police officers. “When you guys put somebody in their [police] car and you’re protecting their head, you know the way you put your hand over their head? Like don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody. I said you can take the hand away okay?” Officers broke into laughter and applause after Trump’s remarks, however less than two hours after he spoke police departments and organizations throughout the country came out to condemn Trump’s words. “As a department, we do not and will not tolerate roughing up of prisoners,” the Suffolk department said in a statement on Twitter. “The SCPD has strict rules and procedures relating to the handling of prisoners. Violations of those rules are treated extremely seriously.” For Suffolk County, the subject of police brutality is especially important, as

disgraced former police chief James Burke was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for use of violent force with suspect Christopher Loeb, along with attempting to cover up his efforts and more. During the trial Loeb, who was imprisoned for a parole violation said the incident changed his life, according to a report from The New York Times. “I will never again feel comfortable in Suffolk County, the place I used to call home,” he said. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) vowed to “reform [Suffolk County] governmentally and politically in a way that we can ensure this doesn’t happen again,” as a result of the details of Burke’s crimes becoming public. Trump traveled to Suffolk to talk about efforts to eradicate gang violence, particularly with MS-13, which has been associated with violent criminal offenses in the past year in the county, especially in Brentwood. Other police departments also condemned Trump’s rhetoric. “To suggest that police officers apply any standard in the use of force other than what is reasonable and necessary is irresponsible, unprofessional and sends the wrong message to law enforcement as well as the public,” a statement from the New York City Police Department said.

Former suffolk police chief James Burke was arrested for using violent force with a suspect two years ago.

One police officer from Gainesville, Florida directly called out both the president and the Suffolk cops who cheered on his remarks. “I’m a cop,” Ben Tobias said on Twitter. “I do not agree with or condone POTUS remarks today on police brutality. Those

that applauded and cheered should be ashamed.” Despite the reaction from the crowd, the Suffolk County Police Department was quick to distance itself from Trump’s remarks. U.S. Rep Lee Zeldin (R) traveled with Trump throughout his trip to Long Island and praised the president for his efforts. “This administration has taken a hard stance against gang activity, and it is imperative that we come together as one community in rejection of this violence which has claimed too many innocent lives,” he said in a statement. “It is our obligation to make eradicating this criminal organization a top priority.” Zeldin did not respond to requests for comment regarding Trump’s encouragement of police using less restraint with suspects. Outside the event Trump supporters were grateful to have the president come and focus on their issues. Smithtown resident Angela Martinez spoke in support for the president. “This is the best, Trump coming here,” she said in an interview. “This is supposed to be good for the Island, this is supposed to be good for the community. The community really needs to work together.” Additional reporting contributed by Kyle Barr.

companion dog Continued from page A3 Golden Retriever, Labrador and GoldenLab puppies are trained by volunteer puppy raisers who provide them with a safe and happy living environment, a healthy diet, obedience training and socialization. When they are about a year and a half old, the puppies then receive professional training at a Canine Companion training center for six to nine months, learning 40 advanced commands. Then, they are matched with a child or an adult with a disability. “Four times a year we invite people that are on our waiting list to come, and they stay with us here in Medford,” said John Bentzinger, the public relations and marketing coordinator for the Northeast region of Canine Companions. “They stay at our facilities, and we call it ‘team training.’ The dogs are already fully trained, but we’re teaching the people how to use the commands and how to care for the dog.” Participants spend the first few days getting acquainted with the different dogs and with the commands necessary to interact with them. On the third day of the two-week program, the matches are revealed to the participants. Matches are based on the interactions that trainers and program coordinators see during the first few days of the program between the dogs and the participants, as well as what the participants need from the dogs. “It’s like a jigsaw puzzle where every-

body has to fit together,” Reiss-Cardinali said. “We like to say this is like a 10-year commitment, so if you’re going to sign on for 10 years, we’d like it to be something that’s going to work for you. It’s a very happy time, and for the staff too. We’re all crying in the room because there’s a lot of work that goes into that 20 minutes.” As for the matchup between Polly and Meghan, Reiss-Cardinali said it was a no brainer. “They’re sort of at the same stage in life,” she said. “Polly is just coming out of young adulthood so I really feel like as Meghan grows, it will be a really nice way for them to grow together.” By the day that the matches are revealed, participants in the program have already learned several commands to use as part of their team training with their new companion. “We did sit, down, heel, let’s go, side, release, wait, kennel and okay,” Meghan said. “That’s it so far.” Her mother said that’s no small feat. “That’s it so far, but that’s a lot in two days ... I think today we get six whole new commands, so that’s a lot,” she said. “The instructors are incredibly patient. You’ve got so many different people with so many different needs, and they’re accommodating all of us. I’m really impressed with this whole facility and what they do here. It’s incredible. These dogs are amazing.” Meghan and Polly and the rest of their Team Training Class will graduate Aug. 4 at 2:30 at the Genesis Center in Medford.

COUNTY Residents rally to condemn Trump’s transgender military ban BY JILL WEBB In a show of unity, North Shore residents resoundingly condemned President Donald Trump’s (R) intentions to ban transgender people from the military this past week. Individuals gathered in front of the U.S. Army Recruitment Center in Smithtown July 27 in disapproval of President Trump’s announced ban. The ban stemmed from a series of tweets President Trump put out July 26, citing his reasoning for the transgender ban being that the military “cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.” Trump’s declaration of the ban on Twitter led the Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition to come out to Smithtown to oppose the ban in a peaceful demonstration. Juli Grey-Owens, executive director of LITAC led the demonstration with a loudspeaker in hand, chanting in solidarity with the transgender community. The goal of the demonstration, according to Grey-Owens, was to put transgender soldiers in the spotlight. “To make people aware of the fact that there are Americans that are supporting our transgender troops — that’s important,” she said. “Number two, it’s to make people aware of the fact that the transgender community is constantly under duress, constantly being discriminated against and this is just one more thing.” The aim of LITAC is to advocate for the transgender community, often through forums, demonstrations, and putting on informational sessions that Grey-Owens refers to as “transgender 101s.” The Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act, passed in 2003 makes it unlawful for anyone in New York State to be discriminated against in employment, housing, credit, education and public accommodations because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation. But the law isn’t as clear for transgender individuals. SONDA does not explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and expression — but it does apply when a transgender person is discriminated against based upon his or her actual or perceived sexual orientation, according to the

New York State Attorney General’s office. Specific counties and areas, including Nassau and Suffolk County have taken matters into their own hands and passed more specific anti-discrimination legislation for sexual orientation. Grey-Owens said that LITAC’s objective is to step in any time the transgender community is being discriminated against. The executive director, along with many of the other attendees of the demonstration, was aggravated with Trump’s claims regarding the expenses of transgender health. “One of things that they found is the number is so small in comparison to the defense budget, that it is a point zero something of the actual cost,” Grey-Owens said. “The army spends more on Viagra — ten times more on Viagra — then they will on transgender health costs.” One of the best ways to help the transgender community, according to Grey-Owens, is to unite with them. “If you take a look at the crowd that’s here now, there are way more cisgender people [someone who’s gender identity matches the sex they were assigned to at birth] than transgender people here, and that’s made our voice louder,” she said. “People are adopting our cause as their cause. If they’re interested in helping out, this is how you help us: expand our voice.” One participant, Edna White, said that she was in attendance in support of her transgender family and friends. She stressed the negative effects of the segregation. “Taking a serious defense of our country — that shouldn’t be separated,” she said. “We’re already separated enough in war as it is, so to do that is really disheartening for me.” Heather Sacc, another protestor said she found Trump’s sudden tweets against the transgender community very alarming. “There’s 6,000 trans people in the military that have risked their lives,” she said. “The military didn’t ask for this. It’s just [Trump] woke up in the middle of the night and decided ‘oh that’s what I’m gonna do.’” Jay Guercio attended the demonstration representing the Long Island LGBTQA Visibility Coalition, a group she co-founded. Guercio said she felt betrayed by Trump go-

Trump tweeted in June 2016, thanking the LGBT community. “I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs,” he said. Guercio believes Trump has not kept his promise. “For him to go back on something that was implemented a year ago, that trans-people were allowed to serve and were allowed to get their surgery and their hormones covered, it’s just outright wrong,” Gurecio said. Guercio thinks the message Long Island should take from the demonstration is there is an LGBT community that will do everything in their power to stand in soli-

darity with each other. “We’re peaceful, this isn’t angry, this isn’t something that’s even violent in any which manner,” Guercio said. “I want people to understand that we just want to live our lives, and that we want the same rights as everyone else.” The following day protestors continued to berate Trump during a visit he made in Brentwood to the Suffolk County Police Department. Patricia Rios was holding a sign saying she voted for Trump and regretted her decision. “Once he comes for the ‘T’ [talking about transgendered] he’s going to come for the L, the G and the B,” she said. “So we’re here to protest that.” Dr. David Kilmnick, CEO of LGBT Network, a Long Island LGBT advocacy group said more than just transgender military members rights were ignored this week. “That [transgender ban] wasn’t the only thing he did to the community this week — which was big enough,” Kilmnick said. “His attorney general filed a court brief saying that Title VII doesn’t protect LGBT people from discrimination from the federal government. Having Trump here on Long Island, having Trump as president is an embarrassment, a disgrace. He doesn’t represent the values of our country of equality and justice.” A Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released July 28 showed a large portion of the country disagrees with Trump on this position. According to the poll, 58 percent of adults agreed transgender people should be allowed to serve while 27 percent said they should not. Currently it’s unclear if Trump’s announcement will lead to real policy change, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford said last week the current military policy would not be changed until the White House issued further guidance. Additional reporting contributed by Kyle Barr and Victoria Espinoza.

Wonder of magic

It was a magical week for the 20 Harborfields students who took part in Harborfields Alumni and Community Educational Foundation’s first “Harry Potter Camp: Bringing Magic to Muggles,” from July 24-27. The new four-day camp was part of HACEF’s Summer Programs, which allows students in the district to enroll in a variety of different camps that fit their interests over the summer. Run by instructor Dyan Aronowsky, “Harry Potter Camp: Magic to

Muggles,” focused on the beloved books by J. K. Rowling. Students in grades three through six, had the opportunity to take part in the camp and put themselves in the magical world of Harry Potter. During the first day, each camper was placed in one of the four houses from the books – Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Just like in the story, the Sorting Hat picked their fate as they were assigned a house. Over the course of the four days, the campers were encouraged to dress the part as a Hogwarts student and

participated in a variety of fun activities that correlated with the books. They decorated their own trunks which they filled with their creations throughout the week, produced potions and learned magic tricks. In addition, the campers constructed wands, created maps, made dragon embryos out of slime, played match games which tested their Harry Potter knowledge, took part in scavenger hunts and even played Quidditch outside. Quidditch was a favorite part for many of the campers as they enjoyed riding their

broomsticks made out of pool noodles and competing for points toward their house. Just like in the books, the campers could gain points for accomplishing different tasks or behaving properly. The list included listening to others, punctuality, respectful behavior, helping others, cleaning up, volunteering, camp spirit and participation. On the final day of camp, the house of Gryffindor was crowned the winner of the Hogwarts House Cup, followed by Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

SportS Northport’s coach Castellano can’t be slowed down Girls basketball leader inducted into state hall of fame By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com When Rich Castellano was asked to fill in for a season as the girls basketball coach at Northport Middle School, he had no idea the chain of events that followed would change the rest of his life. That decision to head the team led to a 38-year stint as the varsity coach, 613 wins, 24 league titles, 10 Suffolk County championships, five Long Island championships, three trips to the state semifinals and once to the

state finals. He was named 2011 Russell Athletic/Women’s Basketball Coaches Association National High School Coach of the Year after first receiving a WBCA district coaches of the year award, has been welcomed into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame and was inducted into the New York State Public High School Athletic Hall of Fame July 26. “I had no idea what it would lead to,” the retired math teacher said. “I’ve been blessed — I was lucky I was there at the right time. The sport started to take off. Everything was in the right place.” After starting at the middle school, he moved up the chain with a handful of students, taking over the junior varsity team the following year, and began his career at varsity level in 1979. The Tigers won a league championship that winter, the first of three in a row, and next thing he knew the team was hanging a county championship banner on the gymnasium wall. “I felt we were going in the right direction,” Castellano said. “The little kids in the stands who were watching us play wanted to become Lady Tigers. Everyone who watched our success early now had the opportunity to be on the court. There’s nothing like playing for your high school in front of your family and friends — it’s a whole different atmosphere.” He credited the initial achievements to being able to work with the girls year after

But the success didn’t stop there. Northport took home six straight county championships from 1989 to 1994, a feat that had never been done nor never been duplicated. “The girls wanted to be basketball players,” Castellano said. “Now, it’s like a self-perpetuating thing. They know what to expect. We’ve

really been consistent all the way through.” Coaching that middle school team was the first time he’d led a group of females. The Selden resident had previously been a football and baseball coach, and has since also coached boys and girls volleyball and softball. “It was unique, it was different,” he said

Northport basketball coach Rich Castellano, on left with former Tigers and coaching some above, has won a myriad of championships, of which some banners hang on the gymnasium wall, below right. He also hosts a summer camp, below left, to drum up young interest.

CoaCh Castellano Continued from page A9 of his first time coaching girls. “I think they taught me to be a better coach. You take things too seriously sometimes even though it’s just high school sports, and I think they gave me a better perspective.” To feed into his program, he runs summer camps to keep the kids involved and get the younger generation’s feet wet. Katie Kelly, a former player who is now the junior varsity coach at Northport, teaches at the camp. “It was always my dream to end up playing for him,” she said of Castellano. “He’s the best coach I’ve ever had, and I’ve been on many different teams. He’s so dedicated to this program, his team and his girls. Everyone has the same nice words to say about him. He knows a lot about the game, he knows a lot about being a coach.” Kelly, who had two county championship and two Long Island championship seasons with the Tigers, said learning how to be a part of a team was the most important thing she took away from her time at Northport.

“He always emphasizes the importance of being on a team, playing together and cooperation,” she said. “I think that’s what makes the team so successful. And obviously in his career he’s been successful, so it seems to work.” The head coach has seen the trickle-down effect, too. Even with a myriad of accolades to his own name and with the induction into the state hall of fame, he said it’s never been a one-man show, crediting his other coaches and players like Kaylie Schiavetta. “She’s an unsung hero who played her butt off and never looked for credit, and did it all for the love of the game and the love of her teammates,” Castellano said. “I never wanted all the attention, I didn’t play one minute in any game. It was all their success. It was all their hard work and all the stuff they had gone through to get to where we were. If you look around the gym, there’s a lot of championships. It’s something I take a lot of pride in, but I wouldn’t be where I am without kids like her. She taught me that.” Still, he was shocked when he heard of the nomination to the NYPHSAA Hall of Fame. “Oh my God, you’ve got to be kidding me,” he said was his reaction when he heard the news. “It caught me off guard. It was a ‘wow’ moment. It took all the girls who played for me to have that feeling. I’m obviously very proud and humbled, but it also makes me reflect on all the girls have achieved over the years and what they’ve helped us achieve.” Schiavetta was excited to hear of the honor. “It’s about time,” she said, laughing. “I think everything he’s done for girls basketball is very memorable, whether you played for Northport or not. If you played girls basketball on Long Island you know who Richard Castellano is.” Inside the basketball arena but outside the court, Castellano brought Coaches vs. Cancer to Suffolk County, a program that 95 percent of schools in the county currently participate in. He has led the program to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the American Cancer Society since its inception. “To me, it’s one of my biggest accomplishments,” he said. “Basketball officials get involved by wearing pink shirts, the girls wear pink socks, pink ribbons in their hair and

pink T-shirts, the girls have me wear a pink tie — we’re into it big time.” The charity event hits home for Castellano, because he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2006. The girls’ shirts have a basketball court on the back with the words “I’m playing for” above it. There’s an empty space to write the name of a cancer survivor or victim the player wishes to honor during the games. “A lot of the girls put my name on their shirt beside their grandmother or their neighbor or their parents, so that’s kind of cool, too,” he said. Over the years, the coach has kept in contact with most of his former players. He’s been to almost 20 weddings, christenings, graduations and even spoke at the Northport athletic hall of fame induction ceremony for all seven of his honored athletes, all in the last two years since its formation. Sisters Cami Ruck and Kimberly Ruck, Renee Raleigh, Debbie Ronan (McCabe) and her now-sister-in-law Regina Ronan, Christine Michalopoulos and Jill Byers are all merits of his success. Kimberly Ruck’s daughter is in seventh grade at Northport, and will soon be playing

for her mother’s coach. Debbie and Regina Ronan have both come back to coach alongside their mentor, and Michalopoulos went on to coach college basketball. “It validates decisions you made,” Castellano said. “They liked what they were doing and it’s a compliment they’re coaching.” He will also be inducted into the Northport athletic hall of fame this fall alongside Schiavetta, who played for her coach since seventh grade and attended the camp since fourth grade. “I thought he was really funny,” she said of her initial impression of Castellano. “He always does a good job making the little girls laugh and make them feel comfortable. He has a way of challenging and bringing out the best qualities in a player.” Her father Lou Schiavetta, who has been a coach at the camp for the last 10 years, agreed. “Coach Castellano could sell ice cream in the North Pole,” he said. “There are people that are givers and takers — he’s a giver. He’s all for the kids and for his program. As you can see, it speaks for itself with all the banners and honors he’s received. He’s one of the winningest coaches in the county.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

Concerns about the Trump presidency President Donald Trump swept into office promising to surround himself with the best and brightest people, and that America would start winning again. I was hopeful that he would be able to “drain the swamp” of lying politicians and help to make America great again. Sadly, his first six months have displayed little more than ineptitude and chaos. Uncertainty and backstabbing in the executive branch, with rotating doors and public shaming — be it Sean Spicer, Reince Priebus, Jeff Sessions, Steve Bannon, James Comey or Anthony Scaramucci. This dysfunction in the White House is not helping to deal with threats from North Korea and a planned buildup of 100,000 Russian troops along the NATO border of Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. They see the United States as weak due to Trump’s inability to control his own File photo

Councilwoman Susan Berland smiles with a free sunscreen dispenser.

A bright idea At one Huntington beach, if you and your family and friends forgot to pack sunscreen for the day, you’re in luck. Town Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) started a pilot program last year at Crab Meadow Beach with a free sunscreen dispenser, and this year she hopes to expand the program to 14 locations, including town beaches, parks and the town pool. Berland is a skin cancer survivor and has made it her responsibility to educate others on the dangers of melanoma and how to keep your skin safe and healthy. We applaud her efforts. Skin cancer has been found in more patients than all other cancers combined in the last three decades, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon, and one in five Americans will eventually develop skin cancer. We now know more about the risks and consequences of tanning than we did even 10 years ago. We need to be smart with our skin if we have any intention of keeping it. This program is a great step toward ensuring residents have the best shot they can at protecting their skin. Aside from the obvious health benefits, this program is also very reasonable from a financial standpoint. Fourteen sunscreen dispensers, along with the refill packs for sunscreen, cost the town only about $1,600. Berland said that cost is lower than for some summer town-sponsored activities and events. We encourage other towns to look into the program in Huntington, which is a partnership between IMPACT Melanoma, formerly known as the Melanoma Foundation of New England, and the town. This organization provides education, prevention and support for the most serious form of skin cancer. “You put your hand under the sanitizer dispenser when you leave the bathroom,” Berland said. “Why not do the same when you leave the shade and head into the sun?” We hope that leaders in other municipalities take Berland’s lead and consider a similar program for their constituents.

branch of government: • He compromised Israeli intelligence sources by divulging information to Russia. • He has so far failed to pass tax reform or health care reform by choosing not to build consensus with moderates. • He failed to get Mexico to pay to build a wall along the southern border. Foreign governments are showering Trump properties with money to influence policy. For example, nearly $270,000 from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been spent at Trump’s D.C. hotel by a lobbying group fighting against the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, which would result in Saudi Arabia being financially liable for the 9/11 attacks. And where is our U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin? Right by Trump’s side. He claims to be a moderate but votes in line with Trump 97.5 percent of the time according

to FiveThirtyEight.com. Is he a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus of 35 Democratic and Republican moderates working to develop a health care bill that works? No, Zeldin would rather be Trump’s spokesperson on talk shows. Trump, with Zeldin by his side, continues to spread fear and distrust between the public and both the mainstream media and the U.S. Department of Justice. For the first time in my life, I am genuinely scared for the future of our experiment — the democratic republic we call the United States of America. If we can’t, as a general rule, trust the media and the system of justice, then our country has failed. If President Trump and Lee Zeldin keep winning like this, I hate to see what losing looks like.

A commitment not to overtax families Since we were hit with the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008, Suffolk County’s economy has been steadily recovering. To put it in perspective, when I came into office in 2012 we were faced with a $500 million dollar deficit, and today it hovers around $160 million. Although we still have a long way to go, let’s recognize that together we are moving in the right direction. I firmly believe that we live in the best place in the world with the potential to fully recover and prosper.

Recent reports have shown growth in our sales tax revenue which is a positive sign for our local economy. We’ve also seen growth in our job market and in June, Long Island added 21,500 more jobs, compared to June of 2016. To boost our economy we have made tough decisions in the Legislature and have rolled back spending and created efficiencies. We will continue taking decisive action to address our budget challenges, and I am prepared to make tough choices.

As a result of our efforts and the improvement of our sales tax revenue, it is my position that we can manage our budget without a fee increase. Let me be clear, I will not vote to double fees for traffic violations. I will fight tirelessly to ensure that we protect our families, provide necessary services and not overburden our residents with fees and taxes.

Thank you to a caring physical therapist After nearly 52 years of marriage, I lost my wife to long-term illness — lung cancer. Ten years of going to doctors every month for five straight days. After she died, I came home one night and fell in the house, and broke two fingers. It was not so bad so I figured I could take care of it myself. I didn’t feel any better so I had a doctor take a look at it. After five weeks in a cast I decided I didn’t need physical therapy. Boy, was I wrong.

I went to a physical therapist in Port Jefferson who was well trained in hand therapy, and her only concern was the well being of her patients. After 30 weeks of physical therapy, the long road to recovery is finally over. After talking on and off with her, I told her about the loss of my wife. She told me about losing her mother. At first she was very bitter about losing her mother. What she was going through with her mother, I was

going through with my wife. So we had a lot in common. She not only helped me with my broken fingers, she helped me cope with the loss of my wife. The last thing I’d like to say, and Jessica don’t be mad at me for this, but if I was 40 years younger and you were not married, I would ask you out on a date. Thank you for everything you did for me.

In case you missed it, he’s the kid who came up from the New York Yankees minor league baseball system who ran into a low wall at Chicago White Sox and hurt his knee, ending his season and, as it turns out, his Yankees career before it began. Fowler was slated to lead off the second inning of his first major By Daniel Dunaief league game, but, instead, was carted from the field to receive emergency medical attention. It’s somewhere between incredibly difficult and impossible to make the major leagues and yet Fowler was good enough to be on the field. And then, like the real person

D. None of the above

Archibald “Moonlight” Graham, who was featured in the Kevin Costner movie “Field of Dreams,” Fowler got within inches of holding a bat and facing major league pitching, when the season ended for him. Fowler hasn’t left baseball but, as of this week, he’s no longer on the team he imagined joining. In need of starting pitching for this stretch run from now until October, the Yankees traded him as a part of a package to get Sonny Gray from the Oakland A’s. Now, I want the Yankees to win and Fowler was a chip the team could trade to get a talent who could pitch more than five innings, and who might win important games in October. And yet when Fowler left the Chicago field, I’m sure I wasn’t the only fan who hoped to support him a second time if and when he got another opportunity — and the Yankees needed him. He still may get his chance with Oakland. After all, if he was good

enough before his injury, he may ride the same determination and skill on the long road back to the majors. Over before it started, Fowler’s Yankee career will feel like an unopened or undelivered present, shipped somewhere else. Fowler was our boy. He was drafted in the 18th round in 2013 and had worked his way up to the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. In the statistics for his career, there is a “1” next to the number of games he played in 2017 with the Yankees, along with “zeros” all the way through every other column. No doubles, triples, home runs or runs batted in for this Yankee apparition. This is the time of year when baseball general managers have to decide between the present and the future. What are they willing to give up in an uncertain future for a present that may be less of an unknown? Will the A’s and now Yankees

pitcher Gray be worth the price of sentiment if he wins important games down the stretch and into the playoffs? Derek Jeter used to remain unflappable as teammates wandered on and off his team, often shrugging off questions while indicating he knew it was a business. If that business does well, do we care that some kid who may or may not have amounted to much for our team is now playing for someone else after bouncing back from adversity? Fowler will be the one who made it to the team, only to have a freak type of baseball interference prevent him from fulfilling his rise from Yankees prospect to Yankees player. The A’s and their fans will now pick up the Fowler narrative, making him a part of their lore and history. No matter how things pan out, Yankee fans can wish him the best even as we wonder what that might have been as a part of the New York narrative.

Traveling daily in the footsteps of Washington and the Culper Spies

hese days, with the chaos in politics, it is no wonder that many people are showing a renewed interest in our history and the goals of our Founding Fathers some 240 years ago that define who we want to be today. Many residents seem surprised by the significant role our Long Island area played in the Revolutionary War and are delighted to learn about the Culper Spy Ring that was centered in Seand led By Leah S. Dunaief tauket by Benjamin Tallmadge, a resident. “TURN: Washington’s Spies,” the AMC cable series now in its fourth and final year, has done much to popularize the spy story, speaking to our past. All of which serves to bring history to the fore. This is a good

result because history is part of the glue that defines a community and strengthens its roots. Since we at the newspaper believe this, we run regular columns by local historians telling our history, and we have now just finished a full-length film, “One Life to Give,” as I have previously mentioned, about how the Culper Spy Ring started. Its premiere is scheduled for Sept. 17. Now there is more good news to make us proud of the place in which we live. In a refreshing show of bipartisanship, two of our congressmen, Democrat Tom Suozzi of Glen Cove and Lee Zeldin, Republican of Shirley, have introduced legislation in the House to bestow upon the George Washington Spy Trail national historic status. The spy trail is essentially Route 25A, the road that was used by the spies during the war to travel behind enemy lines between Long Island and New York City, gaining vital intelligence about the British and their troop movements and strategy. Long Island was an occupied territory, the breadbasket of food and supplies for

the British, who were headquartered in New York City. All along the trail’s about 50-mile route was the highwire danger for the spies of being discovered and hung. Indeed, the British trapped Nathan Hale, whose purported last words were about his one regret being that he had but one life to give for his country. Washington well knew the enormous debt he owed to the spies, and to honor them he traveled in an elegant coach along the 25A route after the war in slow, celebratory fashion from Great Neck to Port Jefferson — then known as Drowned Meadow — staying at the inn owned by one of the spies, Austin Roe of Setauket. But at that time the purpose of his trip was known only to the tiny band of spies. Spies were then thought of as lowly deceivers by the people and not at all cloaked in the glamour of James Bond. So these courageous, remarkable men — and women, like Anna Strong — took their secret to their graves for fear of being ostracized by their countrymen. And Washington kept their secret. Only in

the middle of the last century were papers discovered by historians that revealed the bravery of the Culper Spies. Today, there are original letters written by Washington to the spies, with an addition on one by Benjamin Tallmadge, that can be viewed at the library of Stony Brook University. They were bought by Old Field resident Henry Laufer and donated to the university for that purpose. The spy trail is the result of an intense effort over some 20 years by Gloria Rocchio of Stony Brook and the North Shore Promotion Alliance to bring awareness of this historic road and its role in American history. A total of 26 signs, which they secured and installed, depict Washington’s coach and line his route. A national historic designation, under the auspices of the National Park Service, would not only honor these heroes but also perhaps bring federal grant money, and not insignificantly promote tourism to help our economy. So the Culper Spies live on and continue to serve.
