There have also been accounts of people using the application while driving. We are encouraging not just parents, but all users, to practice caution to avoid injury to self and others.” Bellone, Sini and Parents For Megan’s Law all stressed they are not discouraging gamers from using the application, just to remember the importance of exercising safety precautions. Bellone encouraged parents and legal guardians to regularly talk to their children about possible dangers of playing the game. He suggested parents warn about stranger danger, create guidelines of where kids can and cannot go and for drivers to be alert at all times and keep their eyes on the road. He added that Pokémon GO players should also pay attention to where they are walking while accessing the application and not enter unauthorized and restricted areas, such as streets with heavy traffic, hospitals, construction zones and private properties.

President signs law aimed at drug abuse treatment and prevention By Victoria Espinoza Help is on the way, as President Barack Obama (D) signed a multi-billion-dollar bill into law this week that takes aim at the growing drug abuse problem facing many North Shore residents and families. The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 is an $8.3 billion plan to fight drug addiction in the United States, with a significant amount of funding for prevention and treatment. Obama said in a statement last Friday, though, that he feels the bill could have gone further with funding for prevention. “This legislation includes some modest steps to address the opioid epidemic,” he said. “Given the scope of this crisis, some action is better than none.” However, Obama was critical of the amount of money allotted for treatment options.

CARA funding includes $160 million for the expansion of medication-assisted treatment options, including grants that will be awarded to state, local and tribal governments to provide opioid abuse services. These grants will help fund programs that could expand treatment alternatives to incarcerations — with consent of attorneys and participants — for individuals who meet the program’s criteria. Funding will also help develop, implement and expand prevention programs and training for first responders to administer opioid overdose reversal drugs, like Narcan. It will also fund investigations of unlawful opioid distribution activities. Obama said he is committed to ensuring that support continues for individuals and families who are struggling with drug addiction. “I have heard from too many families across the country whose lives have been shattered by this epidemic … I’m going to continue fighting to secure the funding families desperately need,” he said. “In recent days, the law enforcement community, advocates, physicians and elected officials from both sides of the aisle have also joined in this call.” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), who is a co-sponsor of the bill, has been vocal about asking the Senate and the president to pass the bill, after it went through the House of Representatives with a bipartisan vote of 407 to 5 in mid-July. It was passed

the growing epidemic of heroin, and I will continue working with local elected officials, law enforcement, health professionals, community groups, parents, concerned residents and those in recovery to discuss and develop a more localized solution to address this crisis by increasing treatment and recovery services, education and stopping the influx of illegal substances,” he said in a statement on Monday. Steve Chassman, executive director of the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, said the law is “arguably the most comprehensive bill” out there to combat drug abuse. “It is heavy in education, prevention and treatment,” he said. “We are not just going to incarcerate our way out of this. [CARA] deals with this crisis as the crisis is.” Chassman has attended multiple drug forums, prevention talks and community meetings on this growing problem, and said the new law is “the culmination of so many families that had to lose loved ones over the last several years.”

transportation workers set up a sign letting travelers know of road changes.

Route 347 in Smithtown to undergo construction by ViCtoria espinoza Motorists who travel on Route 347 between Terry Road and Gibbs Pond Road should expect changes, as construction is set to begin Aug. 1 According to the New York State Department of Transportation, travel lanes will be reduced and night closures will start so that construction can begin as part of the Route 347 Safety, Mobility and Environmental Improvement Project. The $36.2 million plan is meant to improve motorists’ safety and mobility and transform the roadway into a modified boulevard and suburban greenway for 15 miles through the towns of Smithtown, Islip and Brookhaven. According to the department, east and westbound travel lanes will be shifted toward the center median to accommodate work on the north and south sides of the roadway. In addition, the current median

opening at Garfield Court between Lake Avenue and Gibbs Pond Road, and the opening at the Smithtown Highway Department west of Southern Boulevard will both be permanently closed for the safety of motorists. Due to the lane shifts, intermittent single-lane closures will be in effect Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Work requiring more than a singlelane closure in each direction will take place at night between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., Monday through Friday nights, weather permitting. The department said in a statement that motorists will be warned in advance of the closings via electronic road signs but should plan to take alternate routes to avoid delays. For real-time travel information motorists should call 511 or visit New York’s official traffic and travel information website: www.511NY.org.

“Brutusâ€? is a 9 months old Bernese Mountain Dog/ Rottie mix. He is feeling very shy right now,  but we believe he would adjust to home life quickly and be great with kids. Unfortunately,  Brutus had to have one eye removed, but he is adjusting nicely. Think ‘Jack Sparrow’ and give this guy a hug. Š94117

Hi, my name is Sammie. I’m a 5 year old Cane Corso. Everyone tells me what a good girl I am. I wasn’t treated well at my last home. I was kept in a cage most of the time so I’m pretty scared of lots of things. I’m probably best with someone who is doggie savvy.

Deomcrats and Republicans are in the midst of a heated election season.

Multiple parties, but one nation Although America’s two major political party conventions will be wrapped up by the end of this week, for many in this country, it seems as if there are four party conventions coming to a close. If there is one thing Democrats and Republicans share at the moment, it’s the fact that many people feel like outsiders in their own party. Since the start of the primaries, many traditional conservatives have had trouble accepting presidential candidate Donald Trump (R) as one of their own. On the first day of the convention, some state delegates staged a walkout to protest against Trump. Not only do voters and delegates feel this way — noticeably missing from the event were former Presidents George Bush senior and junior, as well as former presidential candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney. Romney has even gone so far as to hold press conferences to make clear his disdain for Trump and the direction he is leading the party. Democrats have their own unity issues. After WikiLeaks exposed thousands of Democratic National Committee emails last week, the party seems more divided than ever. #BernieorBust voters within the party have said they will never vote for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (D), staying true to their support for former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (D) — despite his efforts to unite his supporters behind Clinton. The divides in both parties are clear, but what should be more clear than anything else is that four months from now, this country will have to unite behind a newly elected president. 2016 has already shown us the major obstacles and issues facing America, both at home and abroad. Our electoral system is not perfect; this election season has shown us that. But it is our system, for better or worse. We’ll need to accept who won, who lost, and most importantly, unify around the winner. The reality is, regardless of who wins, a large contingent of voters will be saddled with a commander in chief they disdain. It is rare to find a candidate who is everything Americans in one party want, let alone both. Speaking to the #NeverTrump and #BernieorBust voters specifically, there comes a point when you need to decide which candidate represents you the most. Excluding yourself from the process gets you, and the nation, nowhere. Trump or Clinton will move into the White House in March 2017, and it would be best to vote for someone who represents some of your views, as opposed to none of them, or simply not voting at all. As the election season continues on, it’s important to remember we all need to unite again as one country once the final ballots are cast and the polls are closed.

Have you ever been on a site looking at shoes and, the next thing you know, an advertisement for those same shoes comes up on a different site? The reason this happens is because your Internet Service Provider uses browsing history and cookies to see what you’re looking at, or how long you stay on a certain webpage. With this information, they can create personalized advertisements, which can seem intrusive and maybe even a little creepy. So where does this start to get too personal and what laws and rights do you have that protect you? The answer should concern you. “There are no FCC rules that bar those companies from selling that information to advertisers,” warned the New York Times in a March 11, 2016 editorial. “A lot of Internet traffic is encrypted and phone and cable companies cannot decipher the data. But even when data is encrypted, companies can still tell what websites people are visiting. And many websites still do not use encryption.” TimeWarner, AT&T and other ISPs could be using your information to sell to other companies and, right now, there are no laws stopping it. Americans need to take a stand

The good news is, FCC chairman Tom Wheeler has proposed that internet users should be able to have a say in what ISPs collect and use. ISPs, of course, aren’t supportive of internet privacy protections because that would mean they can’t obtain information to personally market you or sell your information. However, such privacy protections already exist for telephone services. So why should those there be less protection online? The FCC is currently seeking

public comment on its proposed regulations, which it will vote on later this year. By taking a stand and committing to making the internet a safer, more private place, you are helping protect yourself. By getting educated and learning about your privacy and taking a stand to not be taken advantage of online, you can help beat the big companies at their own game. Understand your rights online, learn about your privacy on certain sites, and support the new rules and regulations that take place.

How to leverage being a freshman in the majority I learned, as a freshman in the New York State Senate, that there is a way to leverage being a freshman in the majority to get a lot accomplished for one’s legislative district. Once learning how and which legislative leaders want me to stay in my position for another term, I work with them as closely as possible — articulating what my top priorities are for the legislative session. They want to help, and communication is critical. Working with my colleagues in the House, including chairmen of various committees, I work hard to earn their support of my proposals, as well as members of the local community. In Congress, I have been focused on pursuing my New Era of American Strength agenda to protect America’s security at home and abroad, help grow our economy, support our veterans and first responders, improve health care and the quality of education, repair our nation’s infrastructure

and safeguard our environment. I’ve been able to get several of my proposals passed, including three bills to help veterans, two proposals to save Plum Island, my counterterrorism legislation, a bill to allow striped bass fishing off the coast of Montauk, and a proposal to keep the FAA from taking negative action against East Hampton for the enactment of aircraft noise restrictions. My proposal to allow states to opt out of Common Core without penalty from the federal government was passed and signed into law, as well as my Safe Bridges Act to direct federal funding to repair our state and local bridges. Regardless of whether a freshman elected official is in the majority, I would encourage all to identify priorities immediately upon taking office and communicate these priorities clearly with top leadership. Try to gather as many co-sponsors, third party support and earned media as possible, so that there is a maxi-

opinion A tense situation for the Yankees: the present or future?

A

man walks into a doctor’s office and can only say two things: teepee and wigwam. The doctor considers the curious case and decides he’s “too tents.” While you may have heard the homophone joke, you may also know that the New York Yankees are in a similar position: dealing with two tenses. They are stuck between trying to do what they can to win now and making trades By Daniel Dunaief and decisions that may help them for the future. While this is a baseball-specific problem for the Yankees, it’s an eminently relatable problem. Should we go for it in the present, hoping to win, win, win now,

D. None of the above

or should we allow ourselves the opportunity to rebuild and move toward a better future by adding some education, by moving to a new house, getting a new job, or starting or ending a relationship? We generally live in the present, because that’s what is wanted by our ids — the impulse-driven parts of our psyches. We’re hungry, we want food. We’re tired, we want sleep. We’re sick of hearing politicians who starred in reality shows turning the process into a reality show, we change the channel. These Yankees, with their highpriced talent, glitz and glamor, and the endless celebration of their own history, have mastered the art of staring in the mirror and liking what they see. The team could easily change its name to “The Narcissi.” Anyway, can, should, will the Yankees pull the trigger on a host of deals that may replenish a farm system, sacrificing the all-important present for a future that may not produce a better team than the

mediocrity they’ve demonstrated? I don’t have a crystal ball and I don’t rely on the position of the stars, the moon or the tides to make decisions for my favorite team or for my life. Early this week the flamethrowing rent-a-closer on a oneyear deal with the Yankees, Aroldis Chapman, was traded to the Chicago Cubs for a four-player package headed by stud shortstop prospect, Gleyber Torres. How much further they can, or should, go in swapping assets, repositioning the team or realigning their strategy is a favorite game of the endless sports pontificators in the New York area, who always seem to know so much better than everyone else until a player or a team proves them wrong. From my perspective, the Yankees aren’t a contending team. They are, as the old saying goes, exactly what their record indicates. Early this week, they were a .500 team, which means they win as many games as they lose. In the incredibly competitive American League East, where

talented teams like the Red Sox overcome their own pitching flaws with sensational hitting, a win-one, lose-one Yankees team isn’t inspiring confidence. Of course, the fun of life — and all these games — are the many unpredictable parts. Would anyone have expected the Mets to become a World Series team last year? There are no guarantees, which is what makes any present sacrifice a leap of faith. We, the fans and the team, might not get something better by making a change. From my armchair, however, I would plant a “for sale” sign in front of this team with a declining A-Rod, a shadow-of-himself Mark Teixeira and a smoke-and-mirrors starting pitching staff. No one is going to buy Teixeira or A-Rod, but the scales seem to be leaning toward an investment in the future. Now, if the never-give-up Yankees can change course on a faltering season, maybe we can consider moves that might help us win in the future.

Exploding cigar bombs and more in historic terrorist attacks

O

ne hundred years ago this week, The New York Times has reported, the worst terrorist attack on the United States until 9/11 occurred in New York Harbor. Black Tom Island, supposedly named after an early African-American resident and owned by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, lay next to Liberty Island and was the site of threequarters of the American-made ammunitions readied for shipBy Leah S. Dunaief ment to Allied forces in World War I. Stored in warehouses, in railroad cars and on barges on the small island, the munitions were targeted with small fires shortly after midnight on July 30, 1916, and the first explosion had the force of about a 5.5 earthquake on the Richter scale. It blew out windows of buildings in lower

Manhattan and Jersey City, damaged the skirt and torch of the Statue of Liberty, shattered the stained glass windows in St. Patrick’s Cathedral and windows in Times Square, shook and possibly damaged the Brooklyn Bridge, threw people out of their beds and was heard as far away as Philadelphia and Maryland. On that fateful night, some 2 million pounds of small arms and artillery ammunition were on the island, along with 100,000 pounds of TNT on Johnson Barge No. 17. Initially small fires broke out along the mile-long pier, and while some of the guards fled, fearing explosions, others attempted to fight the fires and called the Jersey City Fire Department for help. The first and largest explosion, at 2:08 a.m, produced a rain of bullets and fragments, followed by mists of ash that made fighting the fires impossible; and the smaller fires burned for hours, causing explosions throughout the night. While hundreds were hurt, surprisingly only a few people were killed, including a policeman in Jersey City, the railroad chief of police, the barge captain and an infant thrown from

its crib a mile away. Two guards were quickly arrested for having triggered the disaster by lighting smudge pots on the pier to keep away the ever-present mosquitoes until it was realized that the pots were too far from the fires to have been the cause. Further investigation, which continued for years, identified the culprits as German agents who were trying to stop the shipments. Until early 1915, the neutral United States was able to supply any nation with arms, but after the blockade of Germany by the British Royal Navy, only the Allied forces could purchase arms. Imperial Germany sent secret agents to the U.S. to obstruct production and delivery, and some of them caused havoc and civilian panic in the ensuing years. An effective weapon was the “cigar bomb” that was silently attached to the hulls of departing American munitions ships and only exploded after the vessels were well out to sea. Many ships, with their cargo and crew, were lost that way. President Woodrow Wilson was desperately trying to cling to neutrality before the coming, tightly contested election against Charles Evans Hughes,

chief justice of the Supreme Court and former New York governor. Wilson, as the president who had kept the nation out of war, initially refused to recognize the explosions as the work of the Germans. But after the election indisputable evidence forced his hand, and by early 1917 he prepared the country for war against Germany. After the war, the railroad sought payment for damages under the U.S.German Peace Treaty (1921) signed in Berlin and, at last in 1953, an agreement was reached for $50 million to be paid to the railroad. Dozens of railroad cars, six piers and 13 warehouses had simply disappeared into a huge crater filled with water and debris after the first explosion. For practical purposes the island, with its causeway to the mainland, had disappeared. Final payment was not made until 1979. In today’s currency, damages are estimated at $500 million. Landfill projects through the years time have enabled what little was left to be incorporated into Liberty State Park. A single plaque there tells the tale of the largest terrorist attack until our time.

North Shore native signs pro hockey contract Desirée Keegan In most cases, we have the right to choose. For one hockey player, the ideal situation chose him. East Setauket native Erik Burgdoerfer has finally earned his chance to play in the National Hockey League, but what makes his situation unique is that the Buffalo Sabres — the first team to ask him to sign an NHL contract — happen to play in his extended family’s hometown. “I would go to Sabres games as a kid — I have a big, extended family, and they’re out of their minds,” his mother Jane Burgdoerfer said. “We’re all huge Sabres fans. This is the biggest thing that could ever hit Buffalo.” The newly signed defenseman will have a built-in fan base when he first hits the ice in Buffalo. “We were sitting at the table talking about how it would be great if he was at opening night against the Montreal Canadiens on Oct. 13, and we were counting and talking to people who would go. We would need upwards of 65 tickets,” Erik Burgdoerfer’s uncle Larry Catalano said, laughing. “And this was just literally within the first hour of us talking about it.” The news came July 21, when the Sabres announced they signed Burgdoerfer to a one-year, two-way deal. This means that the 27-year-old can be sent between the NHL and the American Hockey League without having to clear waivers, which gives the team flexibility. “I’m very happy to be joining the organization there and it’s an added bonus that my family is around there,” the player said. “I’m in a new setting now, but I just want to continue trending up, and hopefully with a little more hard work, I can reach my goal of playing in the NHL. But until I get those games, I’m not done yet.” After graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he started as the

‘He has that physical component to him, very strong, his stick positioning and stick work is much improved ... and he’s just a warrior-type player where his will to win is better than a lot of players.’ — Troy Mann youngest college hockey player in the nation, Burgdoerfer began his pro career in 2010 with the Bakersfield Condors, a minor league hockey team in California, where he played for four seasons. There, he had one of his most successful seasons when he put up a careerbest 11 goals and 22 points in 67 games and, as a captain, led the team on a 16-game run through the Kelly Cup playoffs, which is the longest playoff run in team history. His head coach with the Condors, Troy Mann, left for the Hershey Bears, the AHL affiliate of the Washington Capitals, and took the player along with him. “He’s a real hard-working character kid, and I thought he had some good tools in terms of being able to climb the ladder,” Mann said. “When I got the head coaching job at Hershey,

I felt that if we were going to sign depth players for us, I preferred players I either coached against or knew personally, and I was pretty adamant about getting Burgy under contract.” According to Mann, his defenseman was excellent in training camp, though he was sent down to South Carolina to play for Washington’s East Coast Hockey League affiliate, the South Carolina Stingrays. Mann said as soon as Burgdoerfer was recalled to Hershey, the rest was history. “He became a vital part of our team and we’re very sad that we’re losing him for this upcoming season,” he said of the 6-foot, 2-inch 210-pound defenseman who recorded 20 points off six goals and 14 assists, and 59 penalty minutes in 74 games. Burgdoerfer also added four assists and 18 penalty minutes in

21 playoff games for the Bears, who reached the Calder Cup finals for the 20th time. The team lost, but has won 11 championships. “I put an emphasis on how much that experience has meant to me,” Burgdoerfer said of playing with the Bears. “My development in my career that’s led to this point — a lot of that has happened in the past two years. A couple of playoff runs and a great coaching staff have made for a great place for me to grow as a player and a person.” He will likely begin the season with the Rochester Americans, Buffalo’s AHL affiliate, unless he makes the NHL squad out of training camp, but his continued dedication to the sport has also helped him reach a new level. “He continued to follow his dream like nobody I’ve ever seen before,” his mother said. “I don’t know anybody that’s worked harder for their goal. His focus and determination has been unwavering.” She also said she believes her son is a goalkeeper’s dream on the blue line. “He’s not a flashy player,” she said. “He’s the guy that gets the job done and that every goalie loves because he’s very protective.” Mann is looking forward to seeing how his now former player progresses. He said he knows that Burgdoerfer was at the point in his career where he really wanted an opportunity to play in the NHL, and is glad to see he found that with the Sabres. “He’s very well-rounded,” the coach said. “I think that one of the things you need to be able to do playing today’s game is skate, and I think he skates very well for a big man. He has that physical component to him, very strong, his stick positioning and stick work is much improved over the three years I’ve coached him, and he’s just a warrior-type player where his will to win is better than a lot of players. I’m real happy for him. I wish him well and really hope he sees some games in the NHL this year.”
