Get the blues in Smithtown By ReBecca anzel There will be music in the air this weekend at the Smithtown Historical Society. The third annual Smithtown Blues Festival kicks off on Saturday, July 9, from 1 to 10 p.m. at the society’s grounds on Middle Country Road.

About 20 arts and crafts vendors will sell blues music merchandise, jewelry, candles, soap and other goods, and The Wellness Nook will be providing free massages.

Chick-fil-A met with resistance in Smithtown By Rita J. Egan

Fast-food company Chick-fil-A hopes to bring its chicken to Smithtown — but residents aren’t as eager to get a taste. The addition of Chick-fil-A would mean the demolition of the structure that is home to Bagel Gallery, Pub 347, Kempo Karate, The Foot Relaxation Spot, and empty storefronts. A petition with almost 5,000 signatures has been created against the restaurant. Bagel Gallery owner John Ahr said when he first heard of the fast-food chain’s intention two and a half months ago, he couldn’t bring himself to talk about it with anyone. “When I heard this was going down, I cried,” he said. His establishment has been around for the past 30 years. Ahr said he found the supportive comments people have left on the petition site heartwarming, but he feels it may not be of much help. “Like everyone says it’s not going to be a problem … it’s Chick-fil-A,” he said. Ahr, who grew up in Smithtown and graduated from Smithtown West High School in 1978, began working in the bagel shop back in 1980, and in 1985 he and his brother-in-law bought the store. Now a resident of Centereach, he and his wife Donna have worked at the 24-hour spot for decades, including holidays, with their children Nick, Tony and Jamie. When Ahr first talked to his landlord about the plans, he said, “It may be your

building but it’s my home.” Rob Entsminger, who works at Jackson Spalding, the public relations firm handling Chick-fil-A, said the chicken joint is eager to join the Smithtown community. “We are pleased to be joining the Hauppauge community as we look to open a new Chick-fil-A restaurant at the intersection of Routes 111 and 347,” he said in an email. “We look forward to becoming a great neighbor and partner in the community, and to serving all guests great food in a welcoming restaurant environment.” However, when it came to issues with the

property and the decision to take over land currently used by businesses like Bagel Gallery, Entsminger said “We have been working with the landlord directly and are not privy to the details of the previous tenants’ leases.” A representative for the property owner, 111 Associates, LLC, said the landlord did not have any comment at the time. According to the Smithtown Zoning Board Chick-fil-A is requesting several variances including “drive-up windows [that] shall not face a residence district” and a reduction in the “planting area along front property lines from 25 to 6 feet.” Smithtown’s Planning Di-

rector David Flynn said he met with Chick-filA representatives about six months ago, and while they didn’t discuss all the reasons the restaurant picked the spot at the intersection of Routes 111 and 347, the location of the other two Chick-fil-As was a consideration. “They’re building one in Commack by the [Long Island] Expressway, and they opened one on the bypass in Port Jefferson by 112,” he said. “I guess this is kind of halfway between the two. I think it strategically is where they can get the most customers. It’s not too close to one of their other restaurants.” Todd Feldman, owner of Pub 347, said his business would close if Chick-fil-A gets the go ahead from the town of Smithtown to build in the shopping center. “It’s putting me out of business,” he said. He also fears the traffic impact of the fast-food stop. “It’s going to make it [traffic] 10 times worse,” Feldman said. Ahr said as of now he has until Feb. 10 to vacate the premises, which means he would have to close on Jan. 31 to have enough time to clean out his equipment. He said he and his wife have been looking at new locations, and customers have told them they would follow the bagel store wherever they go. “We are people of faith. We trust God. Our lives are in his hands, and it’s going to be the way it’s going to be. As much as it hurts, it’s part of life, too. Things happen,” Ahr said. The proposal will be presented at a zoning board meeting Tuesday, July 12.

Smithtown school board is looking to cut a section of the code of conduct that allows school officials to conduct a strip search if there is “probable cause … that there is an emergency situation that could … threaten the safety of the students.”

File photo

Smithtown board Trustee Theresa Knox said the discussion is still ongoing for whether the district will edit down the current code of conduct for strip searches on students.

School looks to edit strip search code By Ted Ryan

The Smithtown board of education said at last week’s meeting they want to remove a section of the district’s code of conduct that allows school officials to conduct strip searches in emergency situations. The specific section of the code allows school administrators to perform a strip search when there is “probable cause to believe that there is an emergency situation that could imminently threaten the safety of the student or others.” The current version of Smithtown’s code describes a strip search as one that requires a student to remove any or all of his or her clothing, other than an outer coat or jacket, socks, cap, shoes, or sweatshirt. The board said they wanted to remove this from their code of conduct because it is against the district’s personal policy to perform strip searches. “We don’t conduct strip searches here … there is an anti-strip search, anti-physical search policy in place,” school district attorney Eugene Barnosky said. “That’s always been the policy of this district, and it’s never been violated.” This change was passed in 2001, two years after two students brought firearms into Columbine High School in Colorado and killed 12 classmates and one teacher. Barnosky spoke on how Smithtown came up with a policy on strip searches after Columbine. “Everyone got together, school boards, the school’s superintendent associations and put together this draft document — which ninety percent of the school districts on Long Island have adopted,” he said at the meeting. This update for strip searches was a statewide policy for New York, as a guideline for what the rules should be in the case of a student bringing a weapon to a school. The actual wording and execution of these rules are up to the schools — which is why Smithtown is changing its policy now. This change in language still has to be approved with a vote during the July meeting. Trustee Theresa Knox said this is not the end of the discussion. “Indeed it [change in the code] will not be approved until the July meeting — and even at that time [it] could face amendment again,” she said, adding that whatever changes are put in place, the code will still “be in accordance with what the law is.” These changes in the Smithtown district’s code of conduct are still awaiting approval for a meeting in July.

Spencer looks at tax on plastic bags for LI shoppers By Victoria Espinoza The plan to reduce the use of plastic bags in Suffolk County has been modified with a 5 cent tax on plastic bags replacing an original proposal for an all-out ban. County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) updated a bill he submitted in March to reduce the use of plastic bags in retail sales after he saw how other areas found success with a small tax. “My focus all along has been to improve the environment and reduce waste,” Spencer said in an email. “The decision to change course involved multiple factors, most importantly evidence from various municipalities with similar legislation that has proven to be effective.” The new version would charge 5 cents per bag used by any customer, and all fees collected would be retained by the store. There would be no fee for customers who bring in their own bags and a store cannot discourage them from doing so, the law proposed. A spokeswoman from Spencer’s office said the legislator looked to Washington, D.C., as an example of a successful implementation of a 5 cent fee. The Anacostia River Clean Up and Protection Act went into effect in January 2010, and it requires all businesses that sell food or alcohol to charge a nickel for each disposable paper or plastic carryout bag. The bill was the first of its kind in the United States, and in a 2013 study of the law, researchers found that both residents

County legislator’s original bill calling for a ban on plastic bags has been revised to a 5 cent tax on every plastic bag a consumer uses at a store.

Legislator William spencer has presented a new version of a bill to reduce the use of plastic bags. and businesses reported a significant reduction in disposable-bag use and a majority of residents and businesses supported the bag fee. In addition, both residents and businesses said they saw fewer plastic bags littering the area. The study found that D.C. residents estimated a 60 percent decrease in house-

hold bag use, moving from 10 disposable bags per week before the law to four bags per week in 2013. Moreover, 79 percent of residents reported carrying reusable bags when shopping and 74 percent of businesses saw an increase in customers bringing their own bags. And, perhaps most important for residents who are still wary of the

tax, the study reported only 8 percent of businesses and 16 percent of residents felt bothered by the law. Spencer said this law is an important step in protecting the environment. “This is an opportunity to secure a win for the environment because it will form a consensus of necessary support among the legislature and key stakeholders,” he said. The Citizens Campaign for the Environment said there is more plastic in the oceans than plankton, with 46,000 pieces of plastic in every square mile. Many marine animals are choked and strangled by these bags, or die consuming them. The CCE said plastic pollution negatively impacts 267 species of marine life. Spencer said he intends to keep a close look on the progression of the bill, and that if a tax doesn’t reduce the use of plastic bags enough, he will reconsider an outright ban. “We are moving in a positive direction, and I intend to look closely at bag usage — before and after implementation — to ensure it’s effective,” he said. “If it is not having a significant impact, I have every intention of working to strengthen the policy including revisiting the ban.”

SC Legislature hosts seminar for small businesses By susan risoLi Industry professionals and economic development experts gathered at Suffolk County Community College’s Selden campus on June 24 to talk about the region’s changing business climate. “Charting the Course,” was sponsored by the NYS Small Business Development Center. New downtowns and upgraded transportation are unfolding, said Suffolk County executive Steve Bellone (D). The first phase of Wyandanch’s incarnation as “the largest new transportation-centered hub on Long Island” is nearing completion, Bellone said, and the housing phase of the Ronkonkoma hub is about to begin. He said the projects differ from Patchogue’s much-touted revitalization because that village already had one of the area’s “existing downtowns that suffered post-World War II … and now are attractive to young people.” But in Wyandanch and Ronkonkoma, Bellone said, downtowns are being created from scratch by “tearing down dilapidated industrial areas.” The county plans to link the Long Island Rail Road’s three lines to create “real intra-Island commuting,” Bellone said. And he said ride services such as Uber, Lyft, and driverless cars will come to this area. Despite changes on the horizon, Bellone said, the region still has challenges to correct. One is a decentralized government

structure that’s “hyperlocally focused.” “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we have a lot of layers and levels of government here on Long Island,” Bellone said. The structure makes it easy to handle local matters but gets in the way of regional growth, he said. Although the “Brexit” vote was not officially on the agenda, Great Britain’s decision to leave the European Union was felt all the way to Selden. “I just got a text that the Dow [Jones Industrial Average] fell 400 points,” said Jon Cooper, president of Spectronics Corporation, a Long Island manufacturer of ultraviolet lighting equipment. The former Suffolk County legislator said that even though only a few hours had passed since the vote, “it’s already had a tremendously adverse effect” on American companies that do overseas business. Cooper said he was rethinking preliminary plans to partner with international distributors. And if other countries leave the EU, he said, the resulting array of export regulations and currencies will make things harder for local companies. Many businesspeople in the audience expressed concern about young people leaving Long Island and about small businesses closing up shop. “I think I have a positive attitude, compared to some of the people here,” said Anne Shybunko-Moore, President of GSE Dynamics Inc., an engineering and manufacturing company that makes mili-

Shybunko-Moore also is chairwoman of the Manufacturing Consortium of Long Island, a network of Long Island companies in the manufacturing industry. She invited Long Island leaders to “change the message” by talking publicly about the successes of Long Island companies, and recommended asking

companies to talk about their growth. “There’s equipment being purchased. With that equipment, there are new capabilities and new people being hired,” she pointed out. If every company in the MCLI group hires one person, Shybunko-Moore said, “That’s a bigger story than one company laying off 500 people.”

In 1933 the family moved to Port Jefferson, where Estelle grew up and graduated from high school. She was the first Sunday school teacher for St. John’s Greek Orthodox Church in Blue Point, where she met her husband, James. They married in 1956 and bought a home in Smithtown, at which time Estelle worked at Tinker Bank in East Setauket. She eventually became vice president of the bank and full-time mother to two daughters while working with her husband in

their fur shop, Gouras Furs of Smithtown. Estelle was the wife of James; mother of Tina (Greg) Babigian and Diana (Greg) Torigian; grandmother of Christopher, Stephanie and Nickolas; daughter of the late James and Evangeline Stergakos; and sister of the late John Stergakos. Arrangements were entrusted to Hawkins & Davis Funeral Home. A funeral Mass was celebrated at St. John’s Greek Orthodox Church in Blue Point and interment followed in Calverton National Cemetery. Donations may be made in Estelle’s name to either Narcolepsy Network, 46 Union Drive #A212, North Kingstown, RI 02852 or St. John’s Greek Orthodox Church, 77 Montauk Highway, Blue Point, NY 11715.

Local student-athletes receive honored award Seniors from high schools across Smithtown were honored at the 16th Annual Butch Dellecave Awards held on June 12, 2016 at the West Lake Inn in Patchogue. Named in memory of the legendary educator, official, and coach Guy “Butch” Dellecave, the award is the product of a highly successful 16-year partnership between local school districts in Suffolk County and the award organizers. Athletic directors from all sixty-six Suffolk County school districts are asked to

nominate one male and one female from their high school senior class. Nominees must be students who are not only at the top of their game, but also score high in classroom performance and in their commitment to local community service. At Kings Park, nominees Kevin Reichardt and Genevieve Carpenter received the award, Hauppauge nominated Chris Mauriello and Emily Kaplan, and Commack recognized Samantha Miller and Thomas Dugan for their achievements.

Climate change is factor in reducing drought: SBU study By Colm Ashe The general consensus among those who study the evaporating future of the global water supply is to blame population growth. However, a recent study out of Stony Brook University suggests climate change may be the dominant catalyst for future exposure to drought. A team of scholars used 16 climate models and United Nation population growth projections to ensure a more accurate prediction. The study reported that the number of people exposed to extreme drought would see a 426.6 percent increase by 2100 at the current rates of greenhouse gas emissions and population growth. While many might agree that water scarcity will become increasingly more problematic in the future — especially if preventative actions don’t amp up fast — there is a difference between what each party suggests is the best approach: to focus on slowing population increases with socioeconomic development or to cut the rate of greenhouse gas emissions. This study states the latter may be the most efficient way to avoid widespread drought. Their predictions attribute

A stony Brook University study says climate change plays a bigger role in droughts than some think. 59.5 percent of future drought to climate change and only 9.2 percent of the increase to population growth. The remaining 31.4 percent accounts for the combined effect of these two factors. According to Stony Brook University’s professor Oleg Smirnov, who was involved in conducting the study, the “results imply that top greenhouse gas-emitters have the greatest capacity to decrease future ex-

posure to extreme drought.” Though climate change mitigation policies may have the power to most effectively reduce the future effects of widespread drought, population growth is still an important factor to consider. “Population growth alone is responsible for over 35 million more people exposed to extreme drought globally per month by the end of the century,” Smirnov

said. “However, we also found that, for the same period, climate change is responsible for about 230 million more people exposed to extreme drought.” The conclusion that Smirnov and his team have come to portrays climate change as playing a more important role than population increase. However, each country is affected differently by each factor, so the solution is not

as simple as just cutting emissions. The worst-case scenario would be to continue at the present rate of both greenhouse gas emissions and population growth. Regardless of which factor ranks in terms of importance, this study and many others like it suggest the same message: if we are to counter the effects of future global drought exposure, we need to act as soon as possible.

Letters to the editor Congressman Zeldin support

We’re proud to be Americans Do you ever stop and think what the Fourth of July is really all about? While we were enjoying our BBQs, lounging at the beach, sipping on a drink or lighting fireworks this Independence Day, we realized the meaning of this holiday, like many others, can be forgotten when we’re busy trying to have a good time. Our nation’s founders fought for our freedom. Following the American Revolution, the 13 American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation, and with that, came a string of unalienable rights that we now mark with patriotic displays on July 4, to symbolize our pride and celebration of this freedom. Reflecting on what it means, and why we’re honored to live in this country, several things came to mind. Freedom of speech is something that Americans can take for granted. The ability to express opinions, either as an individual or as part of the media, is essential to the backbone of our country. Two in our editorial department have backgrounds that extend beyond our borders. One, a first-generation American, was raised with a particular appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy. Both her parents emigrated from Eastern Europe as children in the 1920s and were raised in New York. They faced challenges including learning a new language and adapting to American ways, but in America there was no tsar, conscripting male heads of households or, in retrospect, no dictator on the rise who would eventually annihilate most of the Jews left behind in Eastern Europe. The American Dream became a reality for her parents. Another editorial staffer’s father moved to this country from Colombia when he was in his 20s. Hearing about his background, she loves that he was able to prosper in this country — not just survive — but pursue his dream job of teaching and find a career where he is still excited to go to work and see his students 30 years later. As the daughter of an immigrant, she’s proud to be a part of the country that welcomed her dad and let him follow his dream. While we look back on what we were founded on, and why this country is unique in the freedoms it gives us, we can also look ahead, to what we want it to be. We can be thankful for what we have, and for what America stands for, but also strive to continue to make this country an even better place than it was when we became a new nation on Independence Day.

I am incredibly proud to have a congressman who, in just his first term, has accomplished so much in so many different areas. Lee Zeldin has made it clear that he cares about our veterans and first responders and has fought for better health care and benefits for those who deserve it most. As someone who still serves in the military, Congressman Zeldin knows the needs of veterans and is a proven fighter when it comes to helping our nation’s heroes get back on their feet. Congressman Zeldin sees how to grow Long Island’s economy through repealing jobkilling regulations and enacting tax reform so businesses can thrive. He opposed Obama’s flawed Trade Promotion Authority to keep our good paying jobs in America, instead of sending them overseas. At a time when our local infrastructure was neglected and crumbling, Congressman Zeldin redirected federal funds for our roads and

Long Islanders know that one of our greatest assets is the local environment; whether it’s our beautiful coastlines, nature preserves or the Great South Bay itself, our district is full of natural treasures. Lee Zeldin has fought to preserve the environment and keep its resources in the hands of locals who know the area, not the Washington bureaucracy.

Our congressman knows that the best decisions are made locally, which is why he opposes Common Core and supports limiting federal testing in our schools and giving states the power to choose what gets taught. In less than two years, Lee Zeldin has accomplished more than his predecessor did in 12; imagine what he can do with another term!

Protect the North Shore environment of shorebirds With summer and beach season upon us, coastal areas are magnets for birds and people alike. However, booming coastal development and recreational use are rapidly eroding vital habitat for birds and other wildlife. Increasing pollution, overfishing and sea level rise have also put coastal birds at greater risk. Now is the time for us to act together. Long Island’s ecosystem is one of the richest veins of biodiversity on the planet — more diverse than the Florida Everglades –— and is essential to the survival of Atlantic Flyway shorebirds. More than two dozen Important Bird Areas (IBAs) have been designated within the Long Island Ecosystem. (The IBA program is an international bird conservation initiative that identifies, monitors and protects habitats critical to the success of bird populations.) Audubon New York is committed to protecting birds and the vital habitat along New York’s coasts where people and birds interconnect. Our mission has never been more important. Working closely with the sev-

en Long Island Audubon chapters and headquartered at the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Center in Oyster Bay Cove, we are actively working to reduce threats at sites that support piping plovers, American oystercatchers, least terns and more. What can you do to help? Be informed: Our efforts, working with our strong network at the local, state and national levels, are helping to protect Plum Island, secure needed funding for municipalities to undertake projects that improve water quality and protect natural resources and secure action on the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act in Congress. Make your voice heard at the local, state and federal level. Our elected officials need to hear from you that protecting Long Island’s natural environment is a priority for you. Be A Good Egg: Our education campaign isn’t just a clever turn of phrase; it helps teach people of all ages about beach nesting bird species, simple precautions to help protect nesting sites and how to responsibly share

the beach. Follow Audubon New York for updates on social media, and like and spread the word on how to recognize and help protect nesting sites. Be involved: By protecting birds, we’re also safeguarding New York’s great natural heritage for future generations, preserving our shared quality of life and fostering a healthier environment for us all. Join a local Audubon chapter, put out the proper bird feeders for your area, learn about bird watching and citizen science programs… every effort adds up! Audubon New York’s successful stewardship programs, advocacy efforts and environmental education programs provide a powerful and practical solution. In collaboration with partners, volunteers, Audubon members and every level of government, Audubon New York is working to restore the health of Long Island in ways that help birds and people. When birds thrive, people and their communities prosper.

opinion The numbers game

hances are the day of this publication, July 7, i.e., 7/7, is your lucky day. Why? Many people believe seven brings them luck, whether it’s because of the seven days of the week, seven colors in the rainbow, seven continents or even the “7” Mickey Mantle wore on his back. If you believe in lucky numbers, seven might give you the kind of confidence you need to say exactly the right thing By Daniel Dunaief in a job interview, to seek a date with a longterm love interest, or to swing at a fastball at just the right moment, sending the ball deep into the night. Practically speaking, all those people who share that lucky No. 7 can’t

D. None of the above

be winners at the same time. What if a pitcher in a tight game, who is the seventh child in a family of seven and might have been born at 7:07, is pitching to a hitter, who grew up on 77 Main Street and who always bats seventh? Who would win? Taking a step back from the “7” sports quagmire, what is it about numbers that can make or break our confidence, that can inspire or deflate us? Even for those indifferent to theorems and patterns, numbers can be beautiful and comforting. They can create order in a chaotic world, offering support and structure in their patterns and predictability. There’s the alternating odds and evens. That’s a pattern that’s like looking at a checkerboard, with its alternating tiles. According to some news reports, zero presents a problem for some people because they are not sure whether it is odd or even and most odd/even discussions begin with “1” while evens begin with “2.” (Zero is an even number under the standard mathematical definition.)

Then there are those rules of numbers that can help in the prime versus non-prime consideration. If you’re looking at an odd number, how do you know whether it’s divisible by three? You add up the digits in the number and see if the sum is divisible by three. Take, for example, 4,197. The sum of four, one, nine and seven is 21, which means it’s divisible by three. But then there are those wellknown irrational numbers that provide memory challenges for schools. Some schools, on March 14 each year, hold a contest about the famous constant, pi, which is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Students commit as many digits of pi as they can to memory. Most people recall the 3.14 part of pi, which is why those competitions are held on March 14, but some push themselves to memorize more than a hundred digits. Then there are those numbers that signal the beginning or the end of something. The famous countdown to a rocket launch that

carries with it the hope of finding something new, of taking humans somewhere we’ve never gone, or of exploring or seeing the Earth from a different perspective. Parents know the famous mantra, “I’m going to count to three,” before a potential liftoff of another kind. For the sports fanatics out there, numbers are the game within a game. For example: • How fast did he throw that pitch? • How many goals did he score in the World Cup? • How great was this player compared with another player? Numbers are sliced and diced to make predictions, reconsider greatness or understand a player’s potential. Perhaps the corollary to the question, “Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?” should be, “Would a superstar with a different uniform number play as well?” The answer might depend on the date of the game.

Independence Day fireworks gone wrong

fter every July Fourth we hear about the sickening tally of those injured or maimed by illegal firecrackers and explosives that were fired off in the name of fun. We routinely say, “How idiotic. Why don’t they just leave the fireworks to the professionals and go watch the show someplace?” There are always places to see the artful displays, hear the raucous explosions and cheer together the red, white and blue. By Leah S. Dunaief If all else fails, there is the television or the computer screen. Do we have to injure ourselves to fully honor the actions of the colonists almost twoand-one-half centuries ago? This subject is of more than casual interest to my family. When my dad was growing up on an upstate New

Between you and me

York farm, one of nine children, a neighbor brought the family some explosive caps with which to properly celebrate Independence Day. The children gathered around a large boulder and cheered with each explosion, as my father’s favorite brother smashed the caps in turn with a rock he held in his hand. But one refused to go off. To make sure he was hitting the cap in exactly the right spot, he bent his head close to the obdurate explosive and carefully aimed his blow. This time it did explode and blew out his right eye. Needless to say, that was the end of that in my household. The trail of these stupid tragedies continues. When we first arrived here, on the beautiful North Shore of Suffolk from our Texas air force base, at the end of June, 47 years ago, my husband, who was an ophthalmologist, applied for hospital privileges at St. Charles in Port Jefferson. He was admitted to the ranks with the news that his first “on call” day would be on July 4. His first patient, waiting for him in the emergency room, was a teenage boy whose

eye had been destroyed by an Independence Day explosive. He tended to the boy, of course, but never got over the horror of that sight and was sickened by the memory every year. It had been more traumatic for him than the many cases he had treated during the Vietnam War. With these illegal explosives, brought in gleefully from distant states, we are to this day making war on ourselves. There is the story of the young visitor from Virginia in New York City, who was romping over the rocks in Central Park with his two buddies, when he stepped on a plastic bag of explosives that went off and destroyed his foot. There are seemingly unending stories of hands blown off, faces disfigured, house fires started, bystanders wounded and all manner of ugly consequences from fireworks across America. Some 230 wound up in emergency rooms at the latest count. When John Adams wrote a letter to his wife, Abigail, on July 4, 1776, envisioning a dazzling annual celebration of independence from Britain, he surely didn’t consider such carnage as part

of the party. Nor did he imagine the single horror that brought about what was probably the first city ordinance in America banning the possession or sale of fireworks within the city limits. It happened in Cleveland in 1908. A clerk in S.S. Kresge’s department store was showing a 4-year-old boy and his mother a “harmless” sparkler with which to celebrate the holiday when a spark flew into the nearby display of skyrockets, torpedoes and candles. The store was almost immediately engulfed in flames. Seven people died, including the little boy, and dozens more were injured as the store burned. The tragedy prompted the city council to act, and many more cities and states have outlawed explosives over the last century. But there are still states where the sale of explosives is legal, and the present concern is that a growing movement seems underway to relax some of the current legal restrictions. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates the sale of fireworks, reported that in addition to the many maimings from explosives 11 people died in 2014 alone. Why?
