AHA summertime health tips Summer can bring many happy memories – family vacations, summer camp, days at the shore, staying up late and watching the sun set. No matter what your summer traditions include, be sure to keep in mind your heart and brain health throughout the longer daylight hours. Here are the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s top 10 tips for a heart-healthy summer: •Learn Hands-Only CPR. Days by the pool and ocean can be fun, but always be prepared for the unthinkable. Hands-Only CPR has only two steps: If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 911, and press hard and fast in the center of the chest. •Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids (preferably water) throughout the day and before, during and after working out to maintain salt-water balance. Avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages. •Exercise smarter, not harder. Plan your workout for the cooler parts of the day — either early morning or early evening when the sun’s radiation is at its least. If you must exercise during the hottest part of the day or in high humidity, decrease exercise intensity and duration. And remember, you can get a great workout indoors by going to a gym or walking at the mall. •Dress the part. Wear minimal amounts of clothing that allow for quick evaporation of sweat. Choose lightweight, light-colored and breathable fabrics, such as cotton. •Choose fresh veggies. Take advantage of fresh seasonal veggies. Load up skewers with mushrooms, peppers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash or other veggies. Spray

When taking a family road trip, plan to incorporate regular physical activity into your daily routine. Pack a football, soccer ball, frisbee or paddle ball so that you can be physically active while away. •Enjoy fruit pops. Homemade freezer pops are an easy, fun treat for kids to make and enjoy. •Protect yourself from the sun. Wear widebrimmed hats, always apply water-resistant sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and reapply sunscreen every two hours. •Head indoors. When the heat gets unbearable, try indoor activities at your local YMCA or rec center like basketball, swimming, yoga or racquetball. •Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Awaiting state approval, Kings Park forced to delay school construction BY JENNA LENNON Although Kings Park school district is ready to get to work, summer improvements have not yet begun due to delays from the state. Phase two of the proposed five-year renovation plan for Kings Park is still waiting for approval from the State Education Department. The construction originally scheduled to begin in the summer months will now have to be extended into the fall and spring semesters even though plans were originally submitted back in October, 2016. Tim Eagen, superintendent of the Kings Park Central School District, said the school will try to minimize possible inconveniences due to the construction as best as it can. “We anticipate getting all the work done; probably not all of it done during the summer,” he said in an interview. “Some of it is going to extend out into the fall. Some

of it we’ll do during shut downs during the course of the school year.” Eagen said some projects will not be too difficult to complete during the year, but that’s not true for all. “One of the pieces, for example, is a door replacement project that can just happen nights and evenings and weekends during the school,” he said. “Probably the biggest visual piece that’s going to be delayed is for the track and the field. We have a concession stand with bathrooms that’s planned. It’s looking like that’s going to flip to the spring.” Like last summer, improvements have been planned for every school in the district. Here is a breakdown of the specific projects happening at every school.

COUNTY Eye in the sky: Suffolk implements new security cameras BY KYLE BARR

Photo by Kyle Barr

SCPD Commissioner Tim Sini speaks about new cameras at each of the seven precincts during a press conference.

150600

Be careful what actions you take, because the police are watching. Suffolk County Police Department officials announced the implementation of 12 overt surveillance cameras throughout the county July 10, in an effort to deter crime. The pilot program began in October 2016 with the implementation of a single camera in both the 1st and 2nd precincts. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy Sini said that cameras were installed in the five other precincts early June. Two of these cameras were positioned in Huntington Town, with one displayed on top of a telephone pole outside a small shopping center at the corner of Rockne Street and Broadway in Greenlawn. “We want people to know about it.” Sini said of the camera program. “Local government is doing everything in their power to increase the quality of life in our communities.” Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (DCenterport) said that the town is dealing with the impact of several recent crimes, specifically recent shootings in Greenlawn that are “all too fresh in our minds.” “These incidents of crime take away the feeling of safety,” Spencer said. “We will not tolerate violence in our community. These cameras put criminals on notice to say, ‘Don’t come here.’” The cameras are full color and full motion, and can be accessed remotely through any officer or SCPD official that has access to Wi-Fi. The camera equipment was purchased for about $130,000 in a program funded by SCPD asset forfeiture dollars. However, the plan for a new real-time crime center, part of which will be to monitor the overt security cameras, will be created using SCPD’s normal operating budget. The cameras are additions to a surveillance system that includes a number of license-plate readers along intersections and hidden cameras placed in areas such as local public parks. “While the discreet cameras catch crime, the overt cameras do the same but they deter crime as well,” Sini said. SCPD officials said that depending on community feedback, the cameras could be moved into different positions or to different areas. On the topic of privacy, Sini responded that people should not expect privacy in a public space. “The message we want to send is think twice before doing something illegal — think twice before doing something that demotes the quality of life for our residents, because we are watching,” Sini said. Several nearby residents were happy to have the new camera system in their community. “It’s a blessing,” said Greenlawn resident Earline Robinson about the implementation of the camera. She said she was concerned about crime, including gang activity, in the area and especially those of several shootings that happened in the community just in the past month. President of Greenlawn Civic Association, Dick Holmes, said he had high expectations for the cameras and the police department. “I think it’s a great idea,” he said. “We’ll see what it does and I guess we’ll see how it goes from there.” The cameras are meant to be hung from telephone poles and are colored bright white and wrapped with a blue stripe that reads “police.” The camera positioned outside the shopping center in Greenlawn looks down at a strip that has been the site of a number of crimes, including several robberies. One Stop Deli owner Mohammad Afzaal said that in the nine years he’s owned his store, it had been raided four times. Once, robbers broke into the safe behind the counter, and several times he had walked in to find the store in disarray. From those robberies, he estimates he lost about $11,000. “Sometimes my camera doesn’t work,” Afzaal said, pointing to the camera hanging in the corner of his store. “But the camera out there, it will work.”

Something strange in a Smithtown watering hole Bar owner, patrons recall paranormal occurrences at Katie’s on Main Street BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM If there’s something strange in your neighborhood bar, chances are you’re at Katie’s on West Main Street in Smithtown — where ghostly happenings are just as normal as ordering a drink. The two-floor pub and live music venue, which sits on the grounds of the old Trainor Hotel that burned down in 1909, has long been a hotbed for spooky sightings and experiences according to its staff and patrons. The bar’s high level of spectral activity has even been featured on episodes of popular paranormal shows like Travel Channel’s “Ghost Adventures,” A&E’s “Paranormal State” and the Biography Channel’s “My Ghost Story.” Dominique Maciejka, a former bartender at the establishment, said she had her fair share of brushes with the bar’s spirited regulars. “I was by myself closing up, the music was off, nobody else was around, and a beer bottle cap went flying from one side of the bar to the other, like, sideways across the room,” Maciejka said, recalling one such freaky occurrence at the end of a night shift in fall 2011. “I was the only person around so there was no explanation, nothing that could’ve triggered that … other than something supernatural,” she said. “On the way home, I called my mom and asked her to stay on the phone with me.” She was also working when a soda gun behind the bar seemingly flung out of its holster on its own and dropped to the floor, an incident captured on the bar’s security cameras.

Gary Bates, from Smithtown, said he once saw what he described as “a big, gray, seven-foot tall” figure walk from one end of the bar counter to the other. Another time, Bates said he was walking in the empty bar and felt the sensation of stepping into a large spider web even though there was no physical one in sight, and was then suddenly poked in the arm. “There’s definitely something weird going on there,” Bates said of the Smithtown nightspot. Over the years, folks who frequent

Katie’s have reported a wide range of eerie activity: distorted faces taking shape in the bar’s mirrors, hearing voices in empty rooms, feeling like they were being watched by unseen presences, seeing transparent children in the background of selfies and group pictures and having whatever may be haunting the place follow them home. None of these reported occurrences come as a surprise to Katie’s owner. “The whole place is active,” Brian Karppinen, 53, who has owned the bar since

GHOST BAR Continued from page A7 in what was considered the basement’s most active spot by the pool table and was violently punched in the stomach by an invisible force. “If he faked it, it would be amazing, but that seemed real,” Karppinen said, making clear he takes a lot of people’s reports with a grain of salt. “He hobbled out of here and I’ve never seen him again.” While there are a number of theories from various paranormal and psychic groups that have explored the bar hoping to identify the ghosts, Karppinen said little concrete evidence has emerged from such explorations. Some say the ghosts are past Smithtown residents who may have died in the Trainor Hotel fire, while others are convinced the more evil spirits could be Jinns, a Middle Eastern poltergeist that has purportedly existed before any religion. However, one of the more mischievous ghosts that has become a sort of celebrity at Katie’s is widely thought to be Charlie Klein, a Prohibition-era bootlegger and part owner of the Smithtown Hotel in the 1920s, which is now Croxley’s Ale House. According to members of the Smithtown Historical Society, Klein shot himself in his house in 1933 after serving a prison sentence. Klein’s house, Karppinen said, is directly across the street from the bar. Brad Harris, the historical society’s president, said even though he’s never personally experienced any of the bar’s hauntings, he doesn’t think they’re made up. “I don’t think it’s a figment of any-

body’s imagination as there does seem to be strange occurrences happening there,” Harris said. “We have always had problems trying to explain why Charlie Klein’s ghost would be disturbing the bar, as he didn’t kill himself there, but it’s a strange world.” Even stranger, Karppinen said, was when members of the Pennsylvania State University “Paranormal State” group were investigating the basement and one of them pointed to the end of the bar and said, “that’s where your ghost died — right there.” “I said, ‘no he didn’t, he died across the street, he killed himself,’” Karppinen recalled. “And he said, ‘no … I used to be a DJ here in the early ’80s and there was an old timer who used to drink and would fall asleep at the bar. We would wake him up, get him a cab, and we would send him home every night. One night, he didn’t wake up and he died at the bar.’” Karppinen said weird and unexplainable occurrences have surrounded him all his life and “it really seemed like I was called here.” It was when the Lake Grove resident was driving to his girlfriend’s house one day, he said, that something told him to go visit his friend, Rich, who owned a struggling bar called Wolfgang’s Pub. Sure enough, his instincts were right and Rich was in rough shape, depressed that his business was losing money and claiming the place was “cursed.” He asked Karppinen to be his partner and help out. Rich retired from the bar business soon after and Karppinen renamed the place after his grandmother, Katie Dunagan. Naturally, for Karppinen, it didn’t take long before things got phantasmic. Once, while jostling with a rotted door

The corner of Katie’s many patrons believe is the habitat of the bar’s more sinister spirits. at the top of a steep stairwell in the bar, Karppinen lost his balance and felt himself teetering backward when, he said, “I felt two things grab my shoulder blades and upright me. I was like, ‘wow, whoever that is, thank you.’ I got the vibe it might have been my dad or a passed away family member. It was not a spooky vibe at all.” “I think it’s some kind of a package deal that maybe this place was active and they wanted me here,” Karppinen said, laughing. “[I think] the darker thing attracted me and likes that I never really thrive. There’s times when I’m behind in bills and I’m like ‘I’m selling the place’ and then something comes through and suddenly we have money for bills again. It almost seems like they love the torture, but don’t want me to leave.”

Unless you own a corporate bar, Karppinen said, the bar business is a dying industry, but the ghosts have significantly helped bring traffic to Katie’s. “People love to talk about it, people know us all over, it has definitely helped,” Karppinen said. “That and our live music. Sometimes people are jerks and they’ll come in drunk from another place, like, ‘I wanna see the ghost!’ and, spiritually, I have no idea what’s going on here … so I try not to let that happen. I don’t want to torture these [dead] people more.” Asked what he would say to any skeptics out there, Karppinen said, “I would tell them I’m not here to debate you. I don’t believe a lot of the [stuff] people say happened here, but some of it is very hard to explain.”

A supercharged science celebration at Tesla Science Center BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM

It’s no shock that the legacy of Nikola Tesla, the man responsible for alternating current electricity, resonates so profoundly in Shoreham, given it’s where the Serbian-American inventor’s last remaining laboratory sits. So in honor of his 161st birthday, more than 600 residents of all ages and from all over the map journeyed to the historic Shoreham site, the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, for a supercharged celebration of the prolific pioneer. Under sunny skies Saturday, July 8, the center kicked off its Electric Dream Expo, an all-afternoon event for all things Tesla-inspired. From interactive exhibits of 3-D printers, high school robotics and old ham radios to demonstrations of the Tesla coil and Teslaoriented augmented reality, to science-based activities for kids, the event carried a theme of technological innovation of the past, present and future. Vibrant Tesla cars were also on display throughout the grounds with raffles for 24-hour test drives available to the public. A Tesla impersonator, in full Victorian-era garb, walked around the premises and was photographed with attendees. The grand event was even broadcast live to more than 50,000 people on Facebook with the help of a hovering drone. While the center has held birthday celebrations for Tesla in the past, this one was the biggest yet and was also in acknowledgement of the 100th anniversary of the dismantling of his legendary and ahead-of-its-time wireless transmitting tower, which sat on the Shoreham property before being torn down July 4, 1917. “It seemed important that we do something with a little more bang,” Jane Alcorn, Tesla Science Center board president said of this year’s event, the funds from which would go toward the development of the long-awaited Tesla museum and science center in the laboratory. “It’s exhilarating and humbling. We’re just so thrilled to see so many people are interested, and incredibly humbled knowing what Tesla represents to people.” Dozens of vendors, including Brookhaven National Lab, North Shore Public Library, Museum of Interesting Things, Custer Institute & Observatory and Long Island Radio & TV Historical Society, set up at tables as people wearing Tesla shirts and pins browsed and bonded over their shared interest in the man who paved the way for several modern gadgets like cellphones. TVs and radios. “He’s the father of just about everything we use … the hero of modern science,” Manorville resident and longtime Tesla researcher Axel Wicks said. Rachel Zyats, of Rocky Point, said she was excited that Tesla was finally getting the credit he deserved, as somebody who was greatly overshadowed by rival Thomas Edison “Tesla was the real inventor,” Zyats said. “I think it’s great that more people are starting to learn about [him].” Lynbrook mother Leeanne Chiulli and her 11-year-old daughter Kate, wearing a Tshirt with the slogan, “Never underestimate a woman who loves Nikola Tesla,” said the creator is their idol. James Angell, a retired engineer from Commack, pointed to Tesla as a hero in the field of science. “Tesla is one of the greatest geniuses in the last 100 years in engineering and elec-

Clockwise from above, a man inquires about a Nikola Tesla-inspired gadget; a girl plays a Tesla instrument while eating birthday cake; kids pose with a Tesla impersonator during the Electric Dream Expo at the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe; kids learn about science; and a man shows off a Tesla inspired invention. trical theory,” Angell said, noting his early development of quantum mechanics. “One hundred years before anyone started talking about it today, Tesla was talking about it. [He] had a concept years and years before anyone thought of it. [So] it’s very encouraging to see so many people who now have an interest in Tesla and his inventions.” Standing at one of the booths was Joseph Sikorski, a Babylon-based filmmaker who made a documentary entitled “Tower to the People” about the history of Wardenclyffe and Tesla’s accomplishments there. “Tesla is a great unifier and it’s awesome to see him opening a lot of doors for people of all types,” he said. Several speakers took to the podium in front of the historic brick building where Tesla built his laboratory in 1901 with the help of renowned architect Stanford White. William Terbo, Tesla’s grandnephew, was also in attendance, recounting memories of his great-uncle. With Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) alongside, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) presented Alcorn and Marc Alessi, executive director, with a proclamation for their work in keeping Tesla’s legacy alive. “Long live Tesla, long live ideas, long live science,” Romaine said. At the end of the ceremony, young Kyle Driebeek, of Connecticut, performed “America the Beautiful” and “Happy Birthday” on the theremin, a Russian electronic instrument played without physical contact. Tesladecorated birthday cake was also served. Rock Brynner, professor, author and son of famous actor Yul, read Tesla-related excerpts from his book about the New York Power Authority’s origins and expressed his joy in seeing so many people in attendance. “I expected to see maybe three kids and a sullen nanny, and instead there’s this enormously enthusiastic crowd … it’s wonderful,” Brynner said. “In the 1930s, a journalist asked Albert Einstein what it was like to be the most brilliant genius in the world and Einstein replied, ‘I don’t know, you’ll have to ask Nikola Tesla.’ I urge all of you to learn more about Tesla. His story is enthralling and tragic, beautiful and terribly moving.”

Photo from Cognitore Jr.

Honoring a Rocky Point grad, service member after July 4 After our nation commemorated the anniversary of our fight for independence July Fourth, there are many examples of military service that would make our Founding Fathers proud. The sacrifices that are made by our local citizens to protect this country should not be overlooked or forgotten. Joseph Cognitore Jr. graduated from Rocky Point High School in 1991. He is the son of Post 6249 Rocky Point VeterBY RICH ACRITELLI ans of Foreign Wars Commander Joseph Cognitore, who was the last Grand Marshall of the Rocky Point St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Before going to college, Cognitore Jr. enlisted in the United States Army Reserves and was stationed at the military center in Shoreham, where he was trained as a medical supply specialist. In high school, Cognitore was a talented soccer and baseball player, who later went on to Suffolk County Community College, where he both played sports and studied criminal justice. After completing his first two years of school, he transferred to SUNY Brockport where he entered the Army ROTC program to become an officer. While he was determined to gain his commission, he continued studying criminal justice and minored in military history. In 1995, Cognitore graduated and was immediately promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. He was later trained in the difficult job of being an ordinance officer at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. A short time later he was deployed to South Korea where he was stationed near North Korea on the Demilitarized Zone. Cognitore worked in a missile maintenance company that helped ensure the air defense of American and South Korean forces against the constant threat of attack from North Korea. As a young second lieutenant, he served as a platoon leader who learned a great deal about the importance of taking care of his men in a combat area. Cognitore said he enjoyed traveling around South Korea and later volunteered for the explosives ordinance disposal unit. After serving for a year on the

Your turn

Korean Peninsula, he was promoted to a first lieutenant and he trained at ordinance training facilities in Alabama, Florida and Maryland. He was later ordered to Selfridge Air Force Base in Michigan to handle the sensitive ordinance materials at the base. During the 9/11 attacks, fighter jets from Selfridge were scrambled too late to intercept Flight 93 over the skies of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. While he was serving in the upper Midwest, he said the attacks were devastating for him to watch. He grew up an hour from lower Manhattan, and right before the acts of terrorism, Cognitore visited the World Trade Center towers. In 2007, he left his family in Michigan to be deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan. His primary mission was to help train the Afghan Civil Order Police, to help ensure that the Taliban would not influence areas that were liberated from their previous control. It was another unique experience for the local officer who worked with NATO countries from England, Germany, the Czech Republic, Canada and Turkish military forces. For a brief time, Cognitore served at a Forward Operating Base established by the German army that was frequently attacked by the Taliban. Cognitore said he was thankful for his wife, Carrie, for her love and ability to take care of their home and children, Claire and Joseph Cognitore IV, while he was deployed. In 2012, with his father at his side, Cognitore was promoted as a lieutenant colonel, and he accepted a new position as an executive officer of a transportation company at his base. With every job, duty station and elevated rank, he has continually distinguished himself as a capable officer that could handle all of his military tasks. Like his father, who is a Vietnam veteran and a recipient of the Bronze Star, Cognitore has an incredibly bright future within the military. He has already graduated from the Command and General Staff training program and will be attending the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. As we take time to honor the historic actions of our Founding Fathers, may we thank our current patriots who still continue to strengthen the American way of life for current and future generations of this great nation. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

Zeldin votes to punish New York

Photo from Town of Brookhaven

Representatives from villages within the Town of Brookhaven meet at Town Hall to discuss consolidating services.

Brookhaven leading the way in streamlining government The Town of Brookhaven is in the midst of a massive project with a stated goal of reducing property taxes for residents. The town, thanks to the hard work of Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Chief of Operations Matt Miner, is one of six finalists vying for a $20 million grant from New York State, which will be awarded to the municipality that displays the greatest aptitude for instituting innovative ways to make it less expensive to live in the particular jurisdiction. Brookhaven is the lone town of the finalists, along with five counties from upstate. According to Romaine, the 16 projects Brookhaven submitted as part of its application would yield a $3.20 to $1 return on investment, meaning the $20 million from the state would result in $66 million in savings for town taxpayers. We commend Romaine, Miner, the rest of the town and leaders from the various villages and districts in Brookhaven who all came together to brainstorm ways to streamline government and reduce costs. We are optimistic about many of the town’s proposed projects that would be implemented if Brookhaven were selected and the potential impact it could have in making government more efficient and less expensive. It would seem common sense played a key role in the selection of the 16 projects, which is also a welcome sign to see from elected officials. Some of the proposed projects include a town tax collector and tax assessor, relieving the burden for each from the town’s incorporated villages; a centralized, regional salt facility for snow removal; as well as several technological improvements and shared contracts for various services, which are provided at a lower cost for the town than what it would cost a village to contract out, like plumbing work. Another component of applying for the grant was that Brookhaven established a Council of Governments, which will feature quarterly meetings of leaders from the town, villages and fire, school, sewer, erosion and library districts. We think an open line of communication between the leaders from various levels of government across the town can only be an overwhelming positive for the people who live here. We wish Brookhaven good luck in its competition and hope other neighboring towns take the lead from them in finding innovative ways to reduce the cost of living across Long Island.

On June 29 Rep. Lee Zeldin voted for H.R. 3003, a bill that if it becomes law would severely handicap police anti-terrorism programs in New York City. Based on the false premise that undocumented immigrants pose a threat to public safety, this bill threatens and punishes cities and states that fail to do the bidding of the federal government in rounding up immigrants. Studies by both the left-leaning group The Sentencing Project and the right-leaning group the Cato Institute arrive at the same conclusion: Immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, “are less likely to be incarcerated than natives relative to their shares of the population.” H.R. 3003 will cripple the “community trust” policing policies of over 600 states and localities that allow immigrant victims and witnesses to report offenses such as gang or domestic violence to local authorities without fear of immigration consequences. That’s why this bill was opposed by the National Fraternal Order of

Police, the Major County Sheriffs of America, the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National Association of Counties. To punish localities that do not comply by eliminating community trust policing, H.R. 3003 takes away Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security grants available to such localities both to fight crime and to fight terrorism. That’s the reason Rep. Peter King, Republican from Long Island, voted “No” on this bill, unlike Rep. Zeldin. In a press statement King declared the bill “disembowels the anti-terror apparatus in the world’s top terror target [New York City].” He further stated that the bill takes things “to a dangerous extreme by making New York City ineligible for hundreds of millions of dollars every year that go toward thwarting terror attacks. These dollars have no connection to immigration whatsoever, except for the fact that the NYPD hunts down terror threats and also sometimes arrests illegal aliens.” As for the constitutionality

of this bill, it violates both the Fourth and the Tenth Amendments. Don’t take my word for it. The Cato Institute states that H.R. 3003 “removes the authority of state or local police departments or state or local legislatures to determine how their law enforcement resources are used. This violates a basic principle of federalism, which many conservatives have long championed, that the federal government should leave states to experiment with their own policies.” It questioned “whether Republican members of Congress would still support this legislation if they could imagine Democrats applying this same principle to federal gun laws in the future.” By voting for this extreme, unconstitutional, and dangerous bill, Rep. Zeldin does harm to all residents of the New York metropolitan area by enabling the de-funding of vital anti-terrorism and anti-crime programs.

David Friedman St. James

Praying the LGBT+ community repents Now that you’ve written your politically correct editorial championing the rights — actually preferential treatment — of the “LGBT+” (will the pluses ever end?) community in your July 6 editorial “Love is love,” how about printing one for civility, tolerance, protection, support and religious liberty for the most persecuted community worldwide, including in America? Those who love Jesus and believe the Bible is God’s Word, and accept what both teach, including about God’s plan for

sex (His invention), corresponds to the self-preserving policy of most world civilizations, especially Western civilization, and the self-evident truth through all of American history until five in black robes recently jettisoned our nation’s foundation for liberty, i.e., “the laws of nature and nature’s God” (see the Declaration of Independence). I do not commend U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) or anyone else for walking in the New York City Pride March, but in Christian love and concern (not hate), I

commend to them God’s Word in Isaiah 3:9 (NIV): “The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.” I pray that all of us will avail ourselves of the mercy God offers to all mankind in Christ to all who repent and believe before the Day of Judgment.

The Rev. Ronald Stelzer Our Savior Lutheran Church Centereach

An open letter to SBU dean Sacha Kopp I am Naomi Solo, and my husband Richard, joined the Stony Brook University faculty in 1962. He died just over a year ago. I have continued my association with the university by being an ardent fan of its sports, cultural and academic programs. It is with great chagrin that I see you have felt it necessary to do away with a critical part of our university at a time when it is needed most with the suspension

of a few programs. In difficult times, it is the voice of contemporary theater that speaks clearly and loudly to an audience who needs to hear voices of reason. How very much I remember the political theater of the 1960s and ’70s at Stony Brook when we had plays that spoke to the issues and fostered great discussion. It is that time again and to silence this voice is a serious fault. We have come to a time when

the almighty dollar is what we think about and the university has already made some very negative moves. To abandon critical intellectual thought at this time is a grave error. I urge you to reconsider such a negative move and think more seriously about academic thought rather than just money.

OpiniOn Feeling the pain in the Washington ‘rain’ blame game

W

hat would happen if it rained on our intransigent politicians in Washington? Well, for starters, the Democrats would all vote “no.” They’re voting “no” on everything anyway, so the rain probably wouldn’t affect them. While some Republicans like Sen. John McCain would immediately acknowledge the rain, others would call it a nonstory. When the GOP couldn’t By Daniel Dunaief discount the reality that people were getting wet, they would decide it was President Obama’s fault because he didn’t stop the rains when he had a chance. The Republicans would find some regulation, which they suggested Obama enacted, that allowed or encouraged the rain, and would immediately

D. None of the above

set about doing the important work of undoing that regulation. Sure, Obama knew about rain in Washington when he was president, but he didn’t enact a single policy or procedure that could have prevented the wet stuff from ruining barbecues and costing people money. He ignored an important proposal many years ago to put a retractable dome over Washington that would have created jobs and saved people from getting wet. The New York Times would blame President Trump, his administration, his family and the Russians, especially President Putin, because all are at fault for everything. They probably planned during their meetings last year to distract everyone from their collusion to cause it to rain just when everyone was getting ready for a picnic. The Times would find some damning email in which someone joked about the rain, or in which the word “rain” might have been a code word, and would remind everyone that rain is synonymous with “pain,” which the paper is feeling from this new administration.

Competing polls would begin as soon as the first drops fell. One poll, which the current administration and Republicans would ignore and discredit, would suggest that even Trump voters are frustrated by the rain and feel that Trump promised them it would never rain again, except at night when they were sleeping. They would be upset that the billionaire Man of the People didn’t protect them when they wanted to attend their daughter’s softball game or when they wanted to go on a company picnic to a site that had previously been off-limits during the Obama administration because it was a protected area where young birds and fish were breeding. At the same time, another poll that the Democrats would ignore would indicate that Trump voters were thrilled that they didn’t have to spend money watering lawns that, thanks to the new and limited Environmental Protection Agency, they could spray with a wide range of cheaper, job-creating pesticides that may or may not harm some people and a few turtles. This poll would suggest

that these voters would be thrilled if the rain continued strategically through 2020, when they would be even happier to vote again for Trump. Trump might tweet about how sad the rain was for Democrats and might suggest that it would be raining even harder if Hillary Clinton was president. Trump might engage in a twitter war with Chelsea Clinton or Rosie O’Donnell. CNN would cover the twitter war extensively and would then claim that the entire discussion was a distraction from the real issues, which they would cover in a small box in the corner of their webpage. Stocks would continue to rise as investors bet that people would need to spend more money on umbrellas in the short term, and on new food for other picnics some time in the near future when the rain stopped. When the skies cleared, everyone would take credit before heading to the beach, unless they lived in New Jersey and were thwarted by an unpopular governor.

Our first picture show, with gratitude

T

he saying, “It takes a village,” certainly applies to us here on the North Shore of Long Island. Elsewhere in today’s newspaper, you can read the article about our making a full-length historical movie (page B11). It was a fantastic adventure and something of a wild ride. From the first rushes, before color and sound correction with the addition of music, the final product looks really good. The film, “One Life to Give,” delves into the relationship By Leah S. Dunaief between Benjamin Tallmadge and Nathan Hale against the tense background of the Battle of Long Island and the formation of the Culper Spy network in Setauket. So much of history seems to pivot on a single turning point or a particular

Between you and me

event, and the Revolutionary War is no exception. Because of these two men, George Washington embedded his spies behind the enemy lines and the outcome of the war took a decided turn for the better. Speaking of turns, many of you probably watched the TURN series on AMC, about the Setauket spies, whose fourth and final year is showing on cable television presently. Though based on the scent of real events, those episodes are largely fiction, although they are nonetheless riveting. Our movie, made authentic through the attention and help of local historical societies, is as factual as the history that has come down to us through more than two centuries. Which is to say, this is the real story and no less intense for being accurate. This film can, and we trust, will be shown to children in the schools as part of the state mandate for teaching local history. But its making would not have been possible without the help of our North Shore “village.” So many organizations, businesses and individuals teamed up to bring our local history to life. Let me explain. There were three

parts to our filming, kind of like a trifecta. First we needed the script, which was researched and written largely by TBR’s Director of Media Productions Michael Tessler and Emerson College junior Benjamin Dunaief, with help from Port Jeff alum and Brooklyn College student Dominick Famularo. Part of that first win was to bring the script to life, for which we needed a competent crew behind the camera. These dozen hard workers were brought in by my grandson Benji, who knew their work from previous film shoots. We also needed high level equipment, some of which came with the crew and the rest we rented. The second part was to secure the historic locations, also the actors in front of the camera. Here is where the “village” came into play. The Ward Melville Heritage Organization, SPLIA (Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities), Three Village Historical Society, Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society, Three Village Community Trust, LISEC boat builders and Benner’s Farm provided the settings and encouragement.

Then casting calls along with connections brought us the talented actors, who included among many others, Jeff Sanzel, Dave Morrissey Jr. (from New York City, soon to be an equity member), Jonathan Rabeno, David Gianopoulos (who was Agent Johnson in the 1997 movie “Air Force One”) and Hans Paul Hendrickson, who played Hale. The third win was the unending assistance and support from individuals like the inexhaustible John Worrell, Tim Glynn, Margo Arceri, Fred Bryant, Charlie Lefkowitz, Michael Ardolino, Peter Moloney, Andy Pollen, the Connell family, Virginia Cash, the many battle re-enactors who traveled from near and far, and the contributions of Stony Brook University. Then there are the many local restaurants who helped us feed everybody on set like Setauket Gourmet deli, Setauket Village Diner, Via Pizza, Pasta Pasta and Eastern Pavilion. There are many more to thank and we will do so in a more formal way, but this is just a spontaneous outburst of gratitude to all those who, with willing hands across the community, make our lives so rich.
