It’s history Town buries capsule for 2066 celebration By alex petroSki

PAgE A5

Smithtown’s Sesquarcentennial year, which began on March 3, 2015, has come to a close. Smithtown concluded its yearlong 350th birthday celebration this past March 3 with the burial of a time capsule on the lawn in front of Patrick R. Vecchio Town Hall. “I think it surpassed anything that any of the members of the committee might have guessed or hoped for,” Maureen Smilow, of Smithtown 350 Foundation, said in a phone interview. She was one of the members of the foundation, which was responsible for organizing the events over the course of the year. Town Supervisor Patrick Vecchio (R) was also involved with many of the events over the course of the year. “I think that the public who participated in the events will take a lot out of it because they were living history,” Vecchio

said. “For me the last year was a wonderful experience.” “The gala ball that was held in the midst of basically a blizzard turned out to be a huge success,” Vecchio said when asked which of the events were most memorable for him. The gala dinnerdance was held at Flowerfields in St. James last March. A time capsule buried in 1965 in front of Town Hall was opened to kick off the celebrations on March 3 a year ago. The Sesquarcentennial year got off to a rocky, yet funny start. “The smell was unbelievable,” Smilow said about the moment the half-century-old milk can was opened. “Everyone on stage had to stand back, it was horrendous,” she said laughing. The can was not properly sealed when it was buried, so over the course of 50 years moisture got in and reeked havoc on the contents, which were arguably not that exciting had they been in mint condition. The milk can contained two hats, a phone book, a local newspaper, a flyer for pageant tickets and an CAPSULE continued on page A9

Officials caution North Shore seniors against scam After high rates of phone-related scams, county urges resident to take proper steps to not fall victim By DesiRée KeegAn

“Don’t trust anyone.” That’s what Bernard Macias of AARP advised seniors to do at a press conference held at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai regarding phone scams across Suffolk County. “It’s happening more and more than you think,” he said. “Clearly, for AARP, we’re here to protect people 50 and over, but we’re finding that our members’ children and grandchildren are being faced with this. Don’t trust anyone, really, because they’re constantly changing those scams.” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said that in 2015, the total cost of financial fraud against seniors across the country was $36.5 billion. Although anyone can be a victim of scam, con artists particularly prey on seniors, he said. “That is an extraordinary sum that is being stolen from our citizens,” he said. “Tax day is April 15, it is fast approaching and it is a time that scam artists are working hard to get a hold of people’s hard-earned money.” Bellone said that in one instance, a scamming entity posed as the Internal Revenue Service and said that if the per-

son did not provide a certified check or transfer funds to the agency, they would be imprisoned. The caller went so far as to tell the victim that they would remain on the line until the woman reached her bank and successfully wired the funds to an account that was provided, he said. Luckily, the bank manager recognized the customer and noticed that she looked and sounded worried, Bellone said. The victim told the manager about the person she was on the phone with, and the manager was able to stop the scam from happening. Last week was National Consumer Protection Week and as a result, Bellone said the county is urging citizens to remain informed. He said so far, Suffolk County Consumer Affairs has recovered more than $534,000 through its investigations on behalf of county residents. “These scammers use all kinds of threats and demands to gain access to your accounts, and threaten your identity,” he said. The county executive urged those who felt vulnerable to a scam to file a complaint with the consumer affairs department by calling (631) 853-4600. To avoid an IRS scam, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said that AARP

Maggie Hamm, of Leisure Village, received two suspicious phone calls within three weeks. She said that during the one call she did answer, TD Bank was mentioned. Hamm used to have an account

with the organization, which she said piqued her interest in listening to what the caller had to say. The person on the other end of the phone mentioned having or owing money, which she said sounded off. “I asked, ‘is this a scam?’ and boom, he hung up the phone,” she said. “You just know — you get a vibe and a red flag goes SCAM continued on page A4

off. I think as we get older, you don’t want to make any waves, and I understand seniors become afraid and concerned, because they don’t want any trouble, but you can’t be afraid to step forward and say no.” Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said she too received two messages on her phone that were related to scams. “Help us help you,” is what the caller said at the end of one of the messages. Anker said she tried to call back the number, but the call didn’t go through. “People will actually fall for it,” Anker said. “They’re trying to catch the person on the phone right away, because once they get you in person, the level of scamming has increased.” She asked residents to call the Suffolk County Police Department to report the scam as a crime at (631) 852-COPS. Two years ago, the legislator also created a scam alert website: apps.suffolkcountyny. gov/police/scamalert.html, which has more information on how to protect yourself against incidents involving scams. Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said that calling (631) 451-TOWN would also provide residents with more information. “If it doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t right,” she said. “You should always follow

your instincts and your gut, and the government will never call you when you’ve done something wrong. They’re required to mail you as proof of documentation. Don’t fall prey to the phone call.” Macias, who said AARP serves more than 500,000 members on Long Island, said, in light of tax day, to mail in tax returns as early in the season as possible, not to give out personal information and to shred all personal documents. Three important facts Macias said to understand is that the IRS will never call and demand payment over the phone, the IRS does not ask for credit or debit card information over the phone and the IRS does not threaten to bring local law enforcement to your home. “Scam artists continue to devise new things and new schemes that are becoming more and more difficult to detect, which is why AARP developed the AARP Fraud Watch Network as a way to protect people,” he said. By logging onto www.aarp.org/money and clicking on the Consumer Protection tab, residents can access a link to the company’s Fraud Watch Network. There, anyone can sign up to get AARP’s Watchdog Alerts on scammers’ latest tricks and find out what to do if you’ve been victimized. “You’re not only helping yourself, but helping other who may fall victim to the same scam,” Bellone said. “Don’t feel embarrassed to come forward. Feel empowered to help educate and protect others.”

Dancing with Wolves Warney tallies career-high 43 points in finals victory, helps team earn first Division I NCAA tournament bid By Desirée Keegan

After earning its first trip to the NCAA as a Division I team, it was only fitting for the Stony Brook men’s basketball team to have a proper send-off. Fans young and old came out donning the Seawolves’ red and white, waving pom-poms and throwing up homemade banners and posters to show support for their favorite college basketball team. “It’s great for the school and great for the community and great for exposure,” senior Stony Brook standout Jameel Warney said. “You play to win. You play for admiration from the fans. We love the community and it’s great to be here. We’re coming out to win. We’re going to work out hardest and give it our all.” Warney, just days prior, tallied a career-high 43 points in the Seawolves’ 80-74 victory over The University of Vermont in the America East Championship at the sold-out Island Federal Credit Union Arena. Warney was a remarkable 18-for22 from the field to go with a 7-for-10 showing from the free-throw line. The Seawolves senior added 10 rebounds and four blocks in his final home game at Stony Brook. Warney’s third-consecutive double-double gave him 59 for his Seawolves career. He tallied 25 of his 43 points in the second half. The 43-point, career-best performance eclipses his 36-point outing against the University of Hartford on Feb. 8. It is also the highest total in the Division I era by any Sea-

received throughout the years, and how hard his team has worked to get to the position it’s in now. “So many good people have helped us get to this place,” he said. “This team did wolves player. something that no team in Stony Brook Senior Carson “Trey” Puriefoy added history did.

King’s Park resident Nicholas Raia, Farmingdale State College junior and web developer, has won a national award for a web gadget he developed to make web designing easier and more interactive. Raia won for his Page Comments gadget, which allows web programmers to leave comments on pages and content they are working on. The award was presented at the annual Spotlight Innovation conference sponsored by OmniUpdate, a web content management system provider for higher education institutions. Out of 16 entries, Raia was the only student to enter the competition, in which he amassed 444 votes. “The web fascinates me and working with it has always felt like play,” Raia says. “Even during the most challenging projects, the web feels more like a toy than it does a tool. I am constantly discovering how creative the medium can be.”

assortment of coins. Before members of the town board assembled in colonial costumes at the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts to open the capsule, they first had to find it. Members of the parks department searched for the 1965 time capsule in the area they believed it was buried, but after a lengthy search that involved poking a metal rod into the Town Hall lawn, finally it was found. A few days later, it was discovered that the town engineering department, who buried the capsule 50 years ago, had left a map with the precise location. “That was more humorous than anything else,” town historian and Smithtown 350 Foundation member Brad Harris said in a phone interview. “Had we known there was a map in engineering all that time, we would have saved a great deal of effort and time by the parks department.” Harris said that he envisions the Smithtown residents who open the 2016 time capsule in 2066 will have a more pleasurable time opening this one, thanks to the efforts of Smilow. They will find a smartphone, baseball cards, menus from town restaurants, letters from community members and Smithtown students, and pieces of memorabilia from the 350th

anniversary celebration events, among many other things. “This time, my good friend Maureen Smilow, really was very careful about how things went in there and how they would be preserved,” Harris said. “We took care so that they would be there for people who open it. We hope they will get a cross section of what the community was like. I think it was a great time capsule.” Smilow said she ordered a marker for the new stainless-steel, waterproof time capsule. That way it will be both easy to find and preserved in 50 years. Smilow mentioned the parade that took place on Sept. 26 as one of her favorite events from the year. She said there were more than 2,000 people marching in the parade, which was led by Richard Smith from Nissequogue, who is a direct descendent of the town’s founder Richard Smythe. Harris said one of his favorite events was the fireworks display that was on the same day as the parade, at Sunken Meadow State Park. “They were spectacular,” he said. Some other memorable events included the unveiling of Richard Smythe’s life-size statue in front of the Damianos Realty Group building on Middle Country Road in September and the recognition of Marie Sturm last March, the oldest native-born resident of Smithtown. Recently appointed Smithtown Highway Superintendent Robert Murphy,

who attended High School East and lived in Smithtown for most of his life, said that he was glad to learn more about the town that he grew up in during the year in an interview Tuesday. Harris reflected on what the Smithtown 350 Foundation accomplished in executing all of the events, both large and small. “I just think the year and the celebrations we pulled off over the course of the year made it a memorable one for the

members of the community,” he said. “I think they’ve got lasting memories of the Town of Smithtown and some of its history. I hope that’s what sticks.” Smilow was also proud of how successful the year was. “It was a great year,” she said. “Everyone was really happy. It was just amazing how we had all of these people from different walks of life, different ages and backgrounds coming together.”

Smithtown East’s Daniel Claxton has high hopes traCk & FielD By Desirée Keegan

As Smithtown’s Daniel Claxton looked around his room, his eyes locked on something he said means most to him: a “most outstanding athlete” award. The honor, selected and handed out by the Suffolk County coaches, is given to an athlete who excels in the sport or possesses great sportsmanship. The junior high jumper for Smithtown East first stepped foot on a track and field arena in seventh grade. Having an amazing day at a middle school meet in eighth grade, Claxton said his older brother William, who was on the varsity team, came up

adding that she heard about Claxton early to him with a Bulls T-shirt. “I told him I wasn’t on the high school on from a middle school gym teacher. team, but he told me his coach said I quali- “He’s tremendously talented and has this fied to be on it, and wanted to give me the great concentration.” That focus and drive took him all the way shirt as a ‘see you next year’ kind of thing,” Daniel Claxton said. “From that moment I to states again, his sophomore year, where thought to myself, ‘there’s no way I’m going he placed second. This season, he made it back to the finals, where he was able to to stop doing this.’” When Daniel Claxton first started avenge his loss to become a state champion. “Ever since I knew I would be competing jumping, he reached 5’1’’ and, now, has reached a personal best of 6’10’’ and said for this type of stuff, I’d say I’ve been takhe hopes to break the seven-foot barrier in ing the sport a lot more seriously,” he said. “I knew this year that I wanted it, and I the near future. One of his most memorable moments needed it. My workouts were getting harder and the stakes were getting of his high school career to date, though, was when he ‘Every meet I’ll go out higher, and it felt great to finally win and show that not jumped 6’3’’ at the state meet there and realize that only did I deserve it because qualifier as a freshman. “Everything went perfect this sport is my life. ...

I got knocked out the next round, but my coach told me I still might garnered All-American honors. What has helped Claxton improve his make it to states. Everyone was sitting with me and I was shaking, and my coach, who height has been his plyometric training is a foot-and-a-half shorter than me, kicked with assistant coach Kurt Martraf. Claxton said he does drills with threemy backside and handed me my plaque. That foot, four-foot and five foot boxes, doing toe was such a great day I’ll never forget.” Earning All-State as a freshman, after taps and step ups, and different types of vercoming in fifth place, was just the first of tical jumps with soft landings. Martraf said many accolades Claxton would garner. the training has been paying back dividends. “He wouldn’t be where he is right now Each season, he’s earned All-League, AllDivision, All-County and All-State nods. without those various plyometric exercises, Each year, he’s improved his height as a re- and he’s willing to train and follow direcsult of rigorous training, despite head coach tion and take feedback and look at every aspect of his jump, and that’s another reaKathie Borbet not needing to coach him. “We’re basically there for more moral son why he is where he is today,” he said. and emotional support, because he’s such “He has great character. He has a good, a natural athlete that when he came into positive attitude and he’s a well-liked athlete varsity track he had perfect form,” she said, throughout his team.”

Which is something Claxton said he prides himself on. “I always motivate athletes on my team to do better,” he said. “Even when I’m in other competitions … I always try to give advice. They may not take my advice, but I’m always willing to share it.” It’s just because he loves the sport. “Every meet I’ll go out there and realize that this sport is my life,” he said. “It’s sleeping, eating and breathing track and field ever since I was 12. I don’t know where I’d be without this sport. It means everything to me.” And Borbet thinks he’s exactly where he needs to be. “I’m just along for the ride and enjoying every moment of it,” she said. “He’s not out there to flaunt it — he’s a humble kid. If you’ve ever seen him jump it looks like he’s been doing this his whole life. Watching him jump is like seeing a work of art in progress.”

Residents of Huntington can now sign up for town park programs on their laptops, tablets and smartphones.

Towns need to be looking forward

At the risk of sounding like a cliché, the future is, in fact, now. And it’s up to our North Shore towns to embrace that fact. huntington Town unveiled a new initiative this week that makes it easier for residents to learn about and sign up for its programs with the click of a mouse, or the touch of a tablet. The spring brochure from the town’s parks and recreation department was released online as an interactive document, which allows residents to watch a video about a summer athletic program, directly ask the program head any questions they may have and then sign up to participate, all with a few clicks. This brochure is available on a desktop, tablet or mobile phone, and is not only keeping residents informed more easily, but also making the town money with new space for local advertisers. Once we heard about this project, it seemed almost hard to believe that this technology wasn’t being utilized across the North Shore in other towns like Brookhaven or Smithtown. This move cuts costs, adds revenue and reduces the town’s environmental footprint by stopping mass production and printing of the paper brochures, huntington officials said. This is a win-win for any town, and one that other towns should start mimicking as soon as possible. A town’s first duty is to serve the people as efficiently as possible. Municipalities should constantly be looking to update their systems and make their communication efforts as progressive as possible. We think North Shore towns should look to huntington in this regard. There is still great room for improvement and the ideas are as close as a neighborhood away.

Election season TO ThE EdiTOr: in the presidential election of 2008, Barack Obama beat John McCain. in 2012, Obama beat Mitt romney. Low-information voters, George Soros and Al Sharpton notwithstanding, the republican Party helped ensure the outcome of both contests. Apparently, the GOP has learned little from their mistakes, as they appear to be prepping for a three-peat de-feat in 2016. Compared to rubio and Cruz, romney and McCain are giants and they lost. There is no way i can envision Cruz or rubio defeating

hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders is a new wave, non sequitur version of Gus hall, and that’s it. This letter is not meant as an endorsement for any candidate but an urgent plea to the GOP to prevent a total disintegration of the two-party system. if donald Trump continues to dominate in his quest for the nomination, the GOP has to stand behind him, regardless of the threat he poses to your ingrained lifestyles and pre-ordained, ossified methods and machinations. dems are no different in this respect. Except for some massive and unexpected change of circumstances, either hillary or Trump will be the next president. if

the GOP continues to subscribe to the gospel according to Jake Tapper and Megyn Kelly, the party will suffer irreparable consequences with only themselves to blame. i am not a republican, nor do i vote strictly along party lines, but if the GOP eschews Trump and produces another President Clinton, the Party will literally be over. To paraphrase Shakespeare’s Marc Antony, it’s not that i loved Trump less but hate a corrupt, self-serving harridan and liar more.

An ode to an odd election do they have what it takes? Can they bring us to glory and not become fakes? What do we need in this election year? Are they really the ones to calm our fear? Hillary and Bernie duke it out, they argue, fight and sometimes they pout.

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

he insults, the barbs, the teasing galore. The candidates fight every night, but what is it for? These men and this woman want our trust. At this point, many warrant disgust. Who are they who want a job like no other? Do they listen, or do they make us shudder? Are they good, are they smart,

On the right, Cruz, Kasich and formerly Rubio chase the man with the hair. Trump is his name, and they want their share. He’s a bully, a braggart and he’s way ahead. The others sound desperate and they seem to see red. Mitt Romney has come to throw sand in Trump’s face. Mitt’s presence is odd, some say it’s a disgrace. He lost but didn’t go gently into that good night, he’s worried about Trump and wants a fierce fight. We like to believe we are part of a whole, but we have huge differences

down to our souls. Some believe Muslims should all stay away, others suggest we should all have our say. Protesters appear to cause commotion, the sounds and sights are fraught with emotion. The wife of the president long ago, Hillary is under fire for making dough. A university fight nips at his heels, Trump says, “It’s OK, the school is real.” The debates offer jabs and tough one-liners, some of these leaders could be sporting shiners.

He wants the working class to have so much more, but can he do half of what he desires? Or would he wind up putting out vast fires? The people crave change, it’s clear as a bell. The same old approach has no chance to sell. We’re sick and tired of being tired and sick. We the People don’t want something so slick. The rhetoric has grown increasingly coarse, it’s ugly, messy and the leaders sound hoarse. Who will you choose on Election Day? Do you really want anyone to stay?

Tough choices now, the voters have to take sides. With each new vote, there’s nowhere to hide. The country is vast, it’s hard not to offend. We’re different in New York from those in South Bend.

Will the candidates discuss issues that matter? Or will they just make their own pocketbooks fatter? On what do we agree, from sea to sea? What is there that’s common to you and to me?

Bernie Sanders shares plans that people adore.

Can you picture these people when they were kids? Do you think they were proud of all that they did? Were they good to friends, to teachers and foes? Or did they know better than average Joes? When one of them wins and wants to lead us together, will he or she make us stronger and help us get better? They fight with their rivals and say others are wrong, how can any of them help people get along? You have to vote, like it or not, it’s our duty, we’re in a big spot. Tune out the bluster and the attacks, and ask yourself if they have our backs. Who are they who want a job like no other? Do they listen, or do they make us shudder? Are they good, are they smart, do they have what it takes? Can they bring us to glory and not become fakes?

Thought-provoking pajama games for seniors

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

ere is a terrific idea for those of a certain age. Have a pajama party with close friends at a distant and beautiful location of at least three nights duration. Why three nights? Because it takes that long for normally reserved people to open up and speak freely about life as they have known it. Why pajamas? For

the same reason. After a day filled with enjoyable activities, like sightseeing, shopping and dining, climbing into pajamas and meeting in the living room to chat goes a long way toward facilitating informality and frank exchange. And why have such an experience? Because after a lot of years of living, seniors are expected to have amassed some wisdom with the answers to questions that habitually occur to us. One thing is sure: Probably no two people will have the same answers to all the questions, and hearing the different perspectives is thoughtprovoking and sometimes even comforting. Now let me be clear. I am not suggesting orgies in the basement. I am saying that much has changed over the period of our lives, and those of us who have seen those changes can understand each other and even commiserate. It’s nice to be understood. It’s valuable

to hear how others have dealt with the same opportunities and challenges. What are some of the subjects that might be discussed? Death is certainly one. We all face an end to our lives. How do we regard the inevitable? Are we afraid? Probably not so much. With age comes acceptance to a large degree. Is there an afterlife? A purgatory? Will we again be with our loved ones? In fact, do we believe there is a God? And what is the purpose of life? There are no bounds to the scope of discussions. The subjects just flow from each other. Then there are the endless conversations about children and maybe grandchildren. How have they fared? How much should we help them? What is in store for them? What problems do they have? Have their marriages held together? There are the huge and sometimes incomprehensible

changes in sexual mores and in family values. There are still some who reserve sex for marriage but not many. The word “dating” can have a different connotation than it did when we were much younger. Living together and having children without the benefit of marriage is no longer the object of shame. Yet it may be just difficult for older people to accept, especially if members of the family are involved in such arrangements. The relationship between men and women and hence between husbands and wives has undergone revolutionary change. And the issue of rape has become public, especially rape on campus. There was no such mention by past generations. Health issues are a perennial topic for conversation. Trading remedies, physician and physical therapist names, healthy tips for diets and dieting, exercise and stress reduction are

LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Kathryn Mandracchia

common themes. Discussions of the outcomes from hip and knee surgeries and even dental implants fill the airwaves and can truly offer needed information and help. Music is another area of tremendous change. What one generation danced to, another can find boring. But there is unending admiration by seniors for the younger generation’s mastery of cellphones, laptops and the Internet. Yet there are some older folks who adamantly resist texting. The truth is that we all need support groups and affirmation. We can also benefit from well-placed critiques that can be more easily accepted from contemporaries. And there is always lots of room for laughter, even belly laughs. Pajama parties can provide the context for such engagement. Besides why should only kids have all the fun.
