Historical society plans cherry blossom path to beautify grounds BY KYLE BARR The Smithtown Historical Society is looking to create memories that will last a tree’s lifetime with their most recent project. The Walk Under the Trees Project intends to recreate the feel of the famous Washington D.C. cherry blossom pathway, encourage the planting of trees and help create a beautiful destination for Long Islanders to visit. Historical society spokeswoman Priya Kapoor was the driving force behind the project. “The idea started in the beginning of the year, and we started approaching people back in June,” she said in a phone interview. “We want to make the grounds more welcoming and make it more of a community centered place so that people can walk there, they can bring their kids and their dogs.” Executive director Marianne Howard said she hopes this project stops Smithtown residents in their tracks. “We’re always seeking an opportunity to beautify our grounds,” Howard said. “People drive past us and they don’t know we’re here, and this will help people to stop and come look at something beautiful.” On July 19 the historical society commemorated its first set of trees with John

Most of the tree species are native to the Smithtown area, and tolerant of the soil compaction and air pollution here. The diversity of trees is important to reduce the risk of loss to disease and pests. “Trees do a lot of nice things for the community,” McCarthy said in a phone interview. “In the future they’ll provide a peaceful canopy over sidewalks and give the area a nice country feel instead of barren sidewalks.” Vecchio turned to the words of poet Joyce Kilmer. “Poems are made by fools like me but only God can make a tree,” he quoted.

In another steps toward revitalizing Smithtown, the town board has moved to make the view greener. Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R) and Deputy Supervisor Tom McCarthy announced last week a plan to plant 126 trees along streets in the downtown areas of Kings Park, St. James and Smithtown. “This goes to the heart of revitalization,” Vecchio said in a phone interview. “Trees add a certain beauty to the township and the street scape.” Vecchio added trees are proven to reduce crime and increase property value. The town said that in the next few days it will have underground utilities mark the spots where trees will be installed in the fall during optimal planting weather. A press release from Vecchio’s office highlighted the many public benefits to planting trees that range from health impacts like fighting against respiratory disease, depression and mortality rates and increasing shaded areas for pedestrians to cool off and get more comfortable. It also went into more detail on crime reduction. “Many studies suggest street trees appear to reduce violent crime, burglaries and drug possession,” the release said. A 2012 U.S. Forest Service study done in Portland, Oregon found a substantial reduction in crime, including a 7 to 8 percent decrease in gun assaults across most of the city — as the result of a program to clean up and plant trees on 4,300 vacant lots. “They aim to build common cause with police, public works departments and city planners on the multiple benefits of devel-

county North Shore kid is selling comics for a cause By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com With a little help from some super friends, a local boy wonder is on a mission to save the oldest standing house in Miller Place. For most 12-year-olds, summer vacation means sleeping in, goofing off and avoiding responsibility at all costs. But for Jack Soldano, a North Country Road Middle School student and self-professed “lover of geeky things,” it’s been spent organizing and pricing hundreds upon hundreds of old comic books and making pins, magnets and bottle openers out of the collection’s vibrant panels, sometimes from 8 in the morning until 11 p.m. Although Jack has a passion for the medium — he dresses up every year as his favorite superheroes at New York Comic Con and even wrote a letter to Marvel Comics when he was 6 years old detailing why the company should hire him — he isn’t doing this for himself. “With a great supply of comic books comes great responsibility,” Jack said, laughing. He will be selling up to 1,000 comic books — Marvel, DC and everything in between — and homemade superhero accessories throughout July and August at Heritage Park’s community yard sale in Mount Sinai to help the Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society repair the roof on its main headquarters. The nearly 300-year-old William Miller House at 75 North Country Road, built in 1720, is the ancestral residence of the family after which Miller Place was named. The oldest existing house in the town, which is open to public tours and serves as the meeting place for the nonprofit organization, needs between $18,000 and $28,000 to renovate its collapsing roof and a total $100,000 for a full-house repair, including window replacements. The society has offered family-friendly programs for years at the Miller House, like Postman Pete, where kids eat cookies and mail out letters to Santa, and the Spooky Lantern Tour of the historic Miller Place district in the fall. So when Jack, whose family has been involved in the programs since he was very young, saw on the news more than a month ago that members of the historical society were pleading for public donations, he got an idea. He went to his grandfather, who has an expansive library of comic books that includes everything from “Batman” to “Superman” to “Dr. Strange” as the former owner of a Port Washington hobby shop in the early 1990s, and told him he wanted to sell the collection to raise as much money as possible for the restoration project. His grandfather simply said, “Okay,” and started donating bins of issues. “I remember when I was younger in Miller Place, going to the Spooky Lantern Tour and Postman Pete, and having

much fun, and I want the younger kids to be able to experience that too,” Jack said, adding with a smile that he won’t be giving away every comic. “I’ve kept some comics for myself, of course, because why not, but I wanted to sell the leftovers to a worthy cause and what’s more worthy than one in your own backyard?” Jack’s mother, Cristin Mansfield, said she and her husband are proud of their son for coming up with the idea himself. “He’s not using the proceeds for himself,” Mansfield said. “He’s sitting there and immersing himself in this thing that he loves, reading the comics, finding funny speech bubbles. We’re super proud.”

Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society Vice President Antoinette Donato said the society is extremely grateful. “We are so inspired that someone so young has such an interest, and that nobody planted the seed — it all came from him,” Donato said. “I think it’s everybody’s responsibility to keep history alive, so when somebody like Jack comes along who obviously has an interest and is genuine, it’s very reassuring for us and gives us hope.” Residents can buy comic books every Thursday between 5 and 8 p.m., through Aug. 24, at the Mount Sinai Heritage Park.

Take a bite out of Shark Week, Long Island edition BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM As the nation sinks its teeth into another annual Shark Week on Discovery Channel, local fishermen from across the North Shore reflected on their experiences and close calls with the predators of the sea.

Capt. James Schneider, James Joseph Fishing in Huntington

I was giant bluefin tuna fishing on our smaller, 38-foot boat around 2004 and we were off Nantucket and we pulled up on a whale. Usually the tuna swim with the whales, they eat the same bait. And we saw what looked like giant tuna and we threw a bunch of bait into the water and put three lines in. All three rods went off at the same time and we hooked up what we thought were three tuna fish at the same time for a minute. Within 10 seconds of the hookup, the first fish jumped behind the boat … it was a 650-pound mako shark that got in between the other two lines. The other “tuna fish” were a 250-pound blue shark and another mako. We were using monofilament leaders for the tuna, and the mako came down on the line and snapped the leader (fishing line). Then the shark jumped above our eye level and cleared the water 12 to 15 feet, leaped completely out of the water trying to throw the hook out of its mouth. The other one we … caught it, after an hour and a half, it was a mako that was nearly 700 pounds, snagged in the dorsal, he’s swimming, felt a lot like a tuna fish. We put it in the boat and it was on the line for about an hour and half and then we gutted it and found about nine, full-sized bluefish intact in stomach, each weighing between 8 and 13 pounds.

Another time, I was out 17 miles south of Montauk with my son when he was 8 years old. I wanted to catch my son his first shark. We went out, my son caught a mako shark pretty early in the trip. Within 20 minutes of him hanging the shark from the stern of the boat, I noticed a giant shape coming toward the boat and it was a great white shark, about 17-18 feet long, probably close to 3,000 pounds — about the width of a Volkswagen. It was cruising with such agility coming right to the boat and we had a little time so I asked my son, “Do you want your shark or do you want to watch the great white eat the shark?” My son quickly decided he wanted his shark to show his grandparents so we whipped the shark into the boat just in time as the great white came up to the stern.

Capt. Brett Clifford, Osprey Fishing Fleet in Port Jefferson

My 11-year-old son, Kieran, was excited to go shark fishing for the first time so he, myself and one of the first mates from the Osprey trailed my 25-foot Aquasport to Montauk last Wednesday, July 19. We launched there after catching some fluke, went out about 20 miles to the sharking grounds and we drifted for about five hours with very little action. My son got a chance to see a sea turtle, which was kind of cool. A mahimahi was on the lure for a couple minutes but we eventually lost him. All hope seemed lost and we brought in one line and then when Kieran was reeling in the last line, the float popped up and we weren’t sure if it was a wave or a shark. I picked up the line and felt little bumps, put the rod back in the holder as Kieran safely put his hand on the line so he could feel the bumps. He felt them and he looked up at me and then the

He was able to feel the power of the shark and how fast it takes a line like that. We hooked the shark, put the rod in Kieran’s lap and had him start fighting it. It took him about 15 to 20 minutes to bring in about a 5-foot mako. Although it was a keeper, we clipped it and let it go. We put one more bait in the water and it was then immediately picked up by a blue shark, which we released. I’ve caught makos, blue sharks and thresher sharks before [but] nothing can compare to watching your own son’s excitement and feel the thrill of a big game fish like that for the first time, so that totally trumps any other shark experiences I’ve had.

Capt. Steve Witthuhn, Top Hook Fishing Charters in Montauk and frequenter of Cold Spring Harbor

There’s a lot of bait and life out there in Montauk so it’s one of the more exceptional years for this. That’s the fishing capital of the world and you’re bound to catch something there. We had a trip Friday, July 21, where we took a father and his two boys out to an area 12 miles across Montauk Point and I saw signs of life viewing whales and dolphins in the area. There was also a sea turtle — it was like an aquarium over there. We decided to set up there and we got the baits ready, using circle hooks, and started chumming — what we call “drifting and dreaming.” You get things out there and you’re waiting for the bite and dream-

ing of when that shark comes into the slick and looks for the bait. Our first hit was a 150-pound blue shark and that got things rolling. The next was a 125-pound dusky. As we’re getting another blue shark off the line, we see a big hammerhead shark swim by. Hammerheads are very finicky, sometimes they take a slab bait but normally I’ve found them to be aggressive, they want live bait. So as we hooked up a live bluefish, the bluefish got excited and started running for its life because the hammerhead was on its tail. He tore it apart. We started playing with him and put some more bluefish on the line when we saw another hammerhead come into the slick. Talk about shark-infested waters, we were in the right place at the right time. We hooked up one of the hammerheads, about a 6 or 7 footer, and we fought it for about a half hour. It ate the live bluefish and then another hammerhead appeared. Once the action starts, everybody wakes up. Once you hear that rod go “zzzzing” then everybody jumps up and wants to see what kind of shark it is. It was pretty wild. All these sharks were caught and then released. For me as a captain, it’s more about the thrill of the catch rather than the kill of the catch. If we can respect nature then we can have a lot of fun and educate our customers. I told them, “I know Shark Week begins in a few days, but you’re experiencing something live and what it’s all about.” I’m all for respecting and preserving the resource.

Heroic golden retriever honored by county exec. Storm’s owner sheds light on the life-saving incident in Port Jeff Harbor turned viral sensation BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM A local English golden retriever has earned a lifetime of “Good boy!” declarations and belly rubs, but Suffolk County recently threw him another bone to add to the accolades. Suffolk County’s newest hero is Storm, a brave 6-year-old dog, who became a national celebrity Page A26 last week after a video of him pulling a drowning fawn from Port Jefferson Harbor Sunday, July 16, spread like wildfire online. Storm rolled around in the grass outside the Save the Animal Rescue Foundation in Middle Island July 19 as he and local animal rescue members were honored for their efforts to save the baby deer. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) presented proclamations to East Setauket resident and attorney Mark Freeley, Storm’s owner who captured the heroics on his cellphone, Strong Island Animal Rescue League co-founder Frankie Floridia, who aided in the rescue, and Save the Animals Rescue Foundation Director Lori Ketcham, who is rehabilitating the 3-month-old male fawn now referred to as Water. He is currently in stable condition. Despite an attempt to present an official proclamation to man’s best friend of the hour, Storm seemed much more interested in a large bone provided by the county executive’s staff. “We’re here to talk about some of the heroes we have here, both canine and human, for what they’ve done to really remind us of the importance of compassion and giving to others and helping others,” Bellone said, acknowledging the selfless initiatives of the animal rescue groups. Looking down at Storm, he said, “And this dog here is no ordinary golden retriever. He really did something important and special for us. The inspiration that Storm has given to all of us should inspire us to support the work of people like this that

If that happens, then what Storm did will not only help save one fawn but will help save countless other animals here and others that will be here in the future.” It was just another normal Sunday morning walk out to Pirate’s Cove for Freeley, 53, and his dogs, Storm and Sarah, a rescued Border collie, when he said the golden retriever suddenly got ahead of him on the empty beach. The next thing Freeley knew, Storm was paddling out into the water about 100 feet offshore toward “a brown head bobbing” which he quickly realized was a drowning fawn. As captured in the video seen around the world, Storm held the deer in his mouth

and carried it towards the beach “like a lifeguard would with their arm,” Freeley said. After the fawn got on the sand, it ran around wildly before collapsing. Storm gently nudged the deer’s face and belly and pawed his leg. “He won’t even play fetch with a tennis ball,” Freeley said, laughing. “I just feel like he thought he had to do something for this deer. Storm’s a very well-adjusted and socialized dog. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and he gets along with all animals. People on Facebook were saying he was going to kill the deer, but if you meet this dog, you know that was not going to happen. He’s not prey-driven.” Freeley quickly posted the video to his Facebook and then called the nonprofit Strong Island Animal Rescue League to inform its members of the fawn. Floridia, the group’s leader, said when he and his colleague Erica Kutzing tried to approach the deer with leashes and nets, “it totally went AWOL” and ran back into the water and paddled more than 200 feet out. Floridia said it was a do-or-die situation and it didn’t take long before he was swimming out to save the deer. “He went into the water and followed the example that Storm set earlier and brought that fawn back in and brought it to safety,” Bellone said of Floridia, who he called the animal rescue cowboy. The deer was then transported to the Middle Island animal rescue center. “The deer was saved and that’s really the best part of the whole thing,” Floridia said. “It’s wonderful that this is bringing awareness to what really happens behind the scenes. Of course I want to thank Storm for helping us ride this wave to get

awareness for what we do every day.” Since the video of the courageous canine’s heroics was posted, it has accumulated nearly 5.5 million views on Facebook, and been the top story on several talk shows, including ones overseas. “We’ve been going from one interview to the next and Storm’s been a champ at everything,” Freeley said. “Yesterday, a lady out of the blue called me to tell me just how much of an impact the video had on her, and I could hear her crying a little bit. It’s just amazing and I think people just want to see a simple, basic act of kindness by a dog because news is so hostile today.” Ketcham said she appreciates the attention her center has been getting from this, which she admitted she isn’t used to. “It’s been a crazy couple of days since the fawn came here,” Ketcham said. “We have several hundred animals here in our care all being taken care of by a dedicated bunch of volunteers. We hope to get the fawn outside with the rest that are there in a couple days and then back out into the wild in September.” Freeley, who fosters rescue dogs, provides pro bono legal work for a local animal rescue group, and runs adoption events every Saturday with his daughter, reiterated the biggest takeaway from this. “It’s really important to support people like Frankie and [these foundations] because they’re the front lines of animal rescue and everybody wants animal rescue, but without your support, there can’t be animal rescue,” he said. “So if Storm has one thing to ask you today it’s to donate to Strong Island and Save the Animals Rescue Foundation to help them continue to save the lives of animals in Suffolk County and on Long Island.”

range from clowning around with magic to creative carpentry to cooking class for young chefs. Students can learn to code and explore different STEM concepts or they can choose to hone their engineering skills by building simple machines.

For those students looking to get creative, there’s a clay sculpting class, hair braiding and bracelet making class and a theater/acting program. SCOPE also offers an off-site class for young fishermen to explore at Short Beach.

and is very familiar with the cherry blossom paths there. “You think of beautiful trees, you think of cherry blossoms,” Feal said in a phone interview. “Every year I go to Washington — only because I have to — to try and get legislation passed, but I sometimes get to see the cherry blossoms.” Now Feal will not have to drive as far to see those special trees. Aponte said that for those who work with 9/11 first responders, trees have a big significance for those who worked at Ground Zero. “After those buildings came down there was one particular tree that stood amongst all the wreckage and debris that was falling,” Aponte said in a phone interview. “They dug it out and got seedlings and saplings and made more trees from that particular survivor tree. We surrounded our park with these survivor trees and they’re growing today. They symbolize that we as Americans are survivors regardless of what happened and the aftermath of it.” Feal said his organization and the historical society have a good working relationship, and that the history of 9/11 first responders and the town are intertwined. “9/11 is part of the history of Smithtown,” Feal said. “The memorial park tells the story of the history of 9/11 and the courage and the honor and the sacrifice of the men and women who worked at ground zero, and many of them are from Smithtown.” The Smithtown Historical Society is accepting donations sponsoring new trees,

SPORTS Fencing coach Jeff Salmon earns first national award BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIRÉE@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM Jeff Salmon is an accomplished fencer in his own right, but he now he has proof that his prodigies are receiving coaching that is second to none in the United States. The acclaimed fencer and head coach of the boys team at Ward Melville High School was named the inaugural winner of the USA Fencing High School Coach of the Year award. “The word honor doesn’t even come close,” said Salmon, a Mount Sinai resident and owner of Mission Fencing Center in Rocky Point. “It’s a cool award, it’s an amazing honor and it makes you reflect on a lifetime of work.” Eighteen individuals from high schools in six different states were nominated for the prestigious award. Under Salmon’s leadership, Ward Melville’s teams have continued a winning tradition, including capturing the 2016-17 Long Island championship. The program has maintained a 158-match winning streak that ranks among the most impressive in interscholastic athletics nationwide. “Jeff’s done so much for the kids here, but promoted the sport throughout Suffolk County, the state and the nation,” Ward Melville athletic director Peter Melore said. “Jeff’s a fantastic coach and he’s been honored in so many ways on local levels, it was time for him to be recognized at the national level.” The Comsewogue High School graduate who originally competed in foil made the switch to sabre at Penn State University. Although he was a Suffolk County champion and Empire State Games gold medalist while he was a Warrior, the switch proved to work in Salmon’s favor. “The Penn State team had strong foilers and could use a sabre fencer,” he said. “I was a little disappointed with my achievements in foil, so I was willing to accept the new challenge. It benefited me to switch and I adapted quite well.” During his years as a Nittany Lion, he trained under Emmanuil Kaidanov, a fivetime U.S. national team coach and Wes Glon, an Olympic and World Championship coach. Salmon placed in the top 12 as an individual in the NCAA championships and was one of two sabre fencers chosen for NCAA training at the German Olympic Center in 1987. He was an assistant coach for the Penn State

In 1999, by popular demand, the club became a varsity team. His athletes are consistently among the top on Long Island, and his team has won 13 league, county and Long Island titles. Salmon has won Suffolk County Coach of the Year honors seven times and USA Fencing Long Island High School Coach of the Year three times, but this is his first national achievement, one that many said they thought was long overdue. “I know he is one of the best coaches in the country, so it is a no-brainer to choose him,” rising Ward Melville senior Danny Solomon said. “I wasn’t surprised because I know never to be surprised by what he does. His vast pool of knowledge and understanding of the sport and his nature of innovation is everything you need in a coach.” Solomon, who is a county champion, has also won four national championships, including at this year’s Junior Olympics, one international competition and many national and international medals. He is a two-time USA Fencing cadet team member and has gone to the cadet world championships twice. He credits all of his success to his, at times, intimidating coach. “I was terrified of him,” he joked. “Imagine being a seventh-grader seeing this huge, scary, bald guy flailing swords around. It would scare anyone.”

But the sabre competitor said things drastically changed over time. “He is the reason I am the fencer I am today,” Solomon said. “He has definitely pushed me everyday. He can be both serious and friendly, but is always trying to get the best out of you.” Soon-to-be University of Notre Dame freshman Jack Rohan agreed. “He always tries his best to relate to his fencers to the point where he is not a coach but a friend,” he said. “He has been a huge contributor to my improvement in fencing and definitely deserves such an award.” The sabre fencer, who joined the Patriots in eighth grade, was named All-Long Island last year after finishing with the best record in the county (35-3). He also won gold in sabre at the Jeff Wolfe Holiday Tournament. His older sister Alexa played for Salmon, so Rohan was familiar with his longtime coach, and said he decided to give up focusing on his primary sport, lacrosse, to fence. “On the Ward Melville team we commonly refer to him as ‘the magic’ since talented fencers may graduate, but he is always able to put together a championship-caliber team,” Jack Rohan said of the decorated coach. Melore, who stepped in as athletic director a couple of years ago, is proud to have Salmon as part of the program. “He’s poised, professional, smart, passionate about the sport and really good with the kids,” he said. “He’s a great teacher of the sport. A lot is done in preparation, before and

during matches, and he knows just when to give support and strategy to our athletes. It’s reassuring to have a veteran, and rapport is everything. We’re very proud he have this great program and tradition that Jeff built and I feel confident that our kids are getting taught the right way.” Salmon said the joy he gets in seeing his students achieve their goals means more to him than any award or achievement. “As the years went on, I found that I had a lot more satisfaction just changing the kids lives and building the confidence in them and having them grow as human beings,” he said. “Certainly the tool is fencing, but I find that that’s been the real joy in the journey.” He reflected on similar ideas when he gave his acceptance speech, after receiving the award from his former coach Kaidanov. “Not everyone is going to be an All-American, not everyone is going to be an Olympian, but what we do as high school coaches is take kids that have their hat over their head, their hands in their pockets, and we have them stand up straight and be confident in themselves,” he said. “This sport is hard — really, really hard. Parents really need to understand how hard this is mentally, physically. And that little success that they had makes them the men and women that they become. It gives them the confidence to go on in life — whether they achieve great things in fencing or just get that ‘E’ [lowest fencer rating] that they’ve been wanting so badly. It’s so important.”

OPINION Editorial

Letter to the editor

Photo by Kevin Redding

Frankie Floridia, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D), Mark Freeley and Storm during a press conference where the three were honored for their heroics by Bellone.

The power of good Oprah Winfrey once said, “Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” In the last two weeks, we have had a handful of good Samaritans, and even a good dog Samaritan honored for their actions. Mount Sinai’s Scott Declue and Port Jefferson’s Neil DeVine were honored by Port Jefferson Village for saving a man from a submerged vehicle in April. The same day they were recognized for their heroic acts, Hauppauge’s Stephen Matteo and Briana Stettner and Ronkonkoma’s Edmund Quinones all played a part in helping save a Mount Sinai man from his burning car that crashed into a tree after he suffered a medical incident. This week, Storm, a 6-year-old English golden retriever, and his owner Mark Freeley were presented with proclamations — and a bone for Storm — after the dog pulled a drowning fawn from Port Jefferson Harbor. Frankie Floridia of Strong Island Animal Rescue League had to save the confused fawn a second time, after it ran back into the water and began drowning again after Storm’s rescue. Also last week, five Florida teens, in a shocking video filmed a man named Jamel Dunn drowning to death in a pond and did nothing to help. They were a few hundred feet away but didn’t try to help or dial 911 according to news reports. Instead, the teens laughed. We hope others learn from this inhumane and utterly cruel tragedy. We need to look out for each other. If even a dog can do it, we as humans need to know we should always lend a helping hand when someone is in need. It’s part of our civic duty, and you never know the magnitude of what even a small bit of help you provide might mean. For those unable to dive into raging waters or pull someone from a burning car, immediately calling for help is an honorable second option. Doing nothing should never be the choice. We need more people like the good Samaritans that were recognized this week, and we hope there is a ripple effect created by what was learned about in Cocoa, Florida, for more people to be kind, to be helpful and to do the right thing.

Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai, connected to the Long Island Sound, will be affected by federal funding to the Long Island Sound Program and the National Estuary Program.

Securing funds for a cleaner Sound As co-chair of the Long Island Sound Caucus and a founding member of the bipartisan Congressional Estuary Caucus, I have been working to secure full support for the Long Island Sound Program and the National Estuary Program to ensure both programs are fully funded in the appropriations process and not eliminated. On July 24, I announced that important federal funding was added for both the Long Island Sound Program and the National Estuary Program in the Department of Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill for 2018 at $8 million and $26.7 million, respectively. The Long Island Sound is a precious feature of our life, culture and economy, which affects the livelihood of thousands of Long Islanders, as well as our local recreation and tourism industries. Protecting this critical waterway, which has suffered over the years from pollution, overdevelopment and other negative impacts, has always been one of my highest priorities in Congress. The Long Island Sound Program, which is dedicated to water quality and wetlands restoration, as well as other local conservation projects

to restore local beaches and protect wildlife, is such an important program. The program’s funding is prioritized to address urgent and challenging issues that threaten the ecological and economic wellbeing of coastal areas including nitrogen, harmful algae blooms and flooding or wetland loss. Additionally, the National Estuary Program is another important Environmental Protection Agency wetlands protection program that was established by the Clean Water Act. This National Estuary Program provides important local grants for 28 estuaries in the United States that the EPA has recognized to be of “national significance” due to their threatened status from pollution and overdevelopment. On Long Island’s East End, there are two estuaries of national significance: the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. The National Estuary Program is the primary funding source for the Peconic Estuary Program. Earlier this year, I held a press conference in Mattituck, where I was joined by local elected officials and environmental advocates, and requested full funding for these two essential environmental protection programs. I also joined

with U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-3) and sent a letter to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt urging him to oppose cuts to the Long Island Sound Program. Additionally, in the House, I helped lead a bipartisan appropriations request for full funding for each of the 28 national estuaries in the United States. Both the Long Island Sound Program and the National Estuary Program must be protected; securing the funding needed to maintain these programs is a major win for our local waterways. The deadline to fund the government for 2018 is Sept. 30, and I look forward to this bill’s passage in the House by then. There is much we can do to improve water quality in the Long Island Sound and Peconic Estuary, and I will continue working in Congress on a bipartisan basis to ensure our waterways are preserved for generations to come.

OPINION Laughter lightens the load

e worry about infections regularly. The last thing people want is a cold right before they go on a summer vacation, before they see a newborn, or before they are about to give a presentation half way around the world to a group of people who might approve their work for the next three years. And, yet, there are some types of infections, or infectious behavior, that have the By Daniel Dunaief opposite effect, making us stronger, purging our system of toxins and giving us the extra energy to work harder, to be more patient with traffic around us and to smile when someone accidentally insults us. Laughter fits that bill. TV producers certainly understand this when

D. None of the above

they add laugh tracks to their shows. It allows people to feel as if they are not alone, as they laugh with others they can’t see, even if they are alone in front of their TV. A late family friend used to become so caught up in funny stories that his quick breaths and high-pitched squeals kept him from speaking. The tale, however, became irrelevant as his performance more than compensated for the lack of a narrative, allowing the rest of the room, particularly those who knew him well, to share his laughter. I can still hear the laughter from my late aunt, whose giggles would often end with joyous tears. I recently spent a few days with my brothers to celebrate summer birthdays. We sailed, ate well and hit baseballs on a hot, airless field at Gelinas Junior High School. I stood in right field, as one brother pitched and the other sent bombs deep into the outfield. My sister-in-law patrolled near second base, scooping up grounders and acting as a relay.

My brother crushed a hard grounder directly at his wife. I immediately shouted, “Field it to the side. Move out of the way.” My brothers started laughing, slowly at first, at advice that was so contrary to the suggestions I had made when I coached baseball and softball over the last decade. “Yes,” I acknowledged, “but I don’t want her to get hurt. I’d rather she missed a ball that hit a rock or took a crazy bounce than have it slam into her.” “Sure, sure,” they teased. “You really don’t know anything about this game, do you?” Then, it occurred to me to go with it. “Well,” I shrugged, “I’m actually trying a new technique.” “Oh yeah?” they asked dubiously. “Yes, I’m going to tell the kids, ‘Take your eyes off the ball and make sure you have absolutely no idea what to do with the ball when it comes to you.’” After a few snickers, the four of us shared the kinds of things you’d nev-

er tell kids on a baseball field, which ramped up the laughter. Things such as “Yes, it is all your fault” and “No, you’re not that good at this sport.” The laughter somehow made the heat of the afternoon more bearable. Later, my younger brother was in the middle of a salad when he offered something so uproariously funny that his lips could barely contain the food, even as he couldn’t possibly swallow. With great effort, he slowed his laughter and swallowed. I’m not sure what was so funny, but I know the value of laughter. Yes, of course, one movie after another tells us about the power of love, which drives people to incredible achievements and affirms the value of our connections. Along the way, however, laughter helps fill our tank, soothes the frustrations of the day and puts a broad infectious smile on our faces that can spread, like a beneficial virus, delivering feelings of goodwill that can cascade through a crowd.

The unfading memories of children’s accidents

arents recall forever the acute accidents experienced by their children and with the same emotional turmoil every time the memory surfaces. It’s as if the horror is locked in the mind, frozen in time. For example, my first born, when he was a toddler, hated to stay in his crib. A tall child, he was intensely curious about the world around him and would wander to explore whenever the opportunity presented By Leah S. Dunaief itself. Hence his frustration at being limited by a crib. Because of his height, he threatened to vault over the crib’s edge at an early age, and so my husband and I bought an extender fence that attached to the top of the crib’s

rail and presented an insurmountable barrier to his escape. Or so we thought. One night, when my parents were visiting, we had just put our son to bed and retreated to the kitchen for some after-dinner coffee and conversation when we heard a loud splat, followed by a blood curdling scream. When the four of us rushed into his bedroom, we found our 1-year-old splayed out on the cement floor, stopping only to suck in air for the next horrible scream. I don’t have to tell you what thoughts went through our heads. I can picture the scene perfectly, in all its detail, to this day. Then there was the time our second son, thrilled that he had just discovered his sea legs, was running at top speed across a green lawn in Texas. We were in front of the Air Force base hospital where my husband worked, and we were to meet him for lunch. Because we were early, we waited on the grass. I was desperate for some shade since the temperature was in excess of 100

degrees, and I was heavily pregnant with our third son. Settling myself beneath the lone tree in the park, I closed my eyes briefly, then looked over to track my toddler just in time to see him running on a perfect trajectory toward a girl swinging high in the distant playground. Struggling to my feet, I began to run after him, frantically calling his name. Either because he couldn’t hear or chose not to, he kept pumping his chubby little legs, with mine clumsily running to catch him. I can still picture the scene in horrifying slow motion and remember that I knew I would be too late. Just as I put my arms out to grab him, the back arc of the swing smacked him in the mouth, and instantly there was blood everywhere. The poor girl on the swing that had come to an abrupt stop looked over her shoulder in terror at the sight. I scooped up my screaming and bloodied child, and ran with him cradled across my arms to his father’s office in the hospital. Again I can perfectly remember all the

minute details as we burst through his door, especially the look of horror on my husband’s face as he took in the sight. And then, not to be left out and because they have always been equal-opportunity children, there was the time the bloodied face of my 3-year-old third son came into my line of sight as I drove up the driveway from an early morning tennis game. With the babysitter crouched over him on the blacktop beside the kitchen stoop, bleeding profusely from a cut on his forehead, was my screaming child. He had somehow fallen sideways off the top step onto his head. This visit to the hospital involved stitches. Fortunately for him, they have long ago healed and the scar is all but invisible. Too bad the memories don’t likewise fade. Such is the price of being a parent or having responsibility for a child’s life, whether a niece or nephew or grandchild or a babysitting charge. Whatever the accident, one can never forget.
