Councilman wants to continue to give back to community By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com

One lifelong Smithtown resident, business owner and longtime public servant is looking to continue to serve the community he loves. Town Councilman and Deputy Supervisor Tom McCarthy (R) who first ran in 1997, is looking to win yet another term this November to serve on the town board. “I felt like people in the town needed a local business person to listen to their problems and to treat them like customers,” McCarthy said in a phone interview of why he first ran for a seat on the board two decades ago. Although he retired in 2007, McCarthy at one point owned seven car rental dealerships throughout Smithtown and Huntington. McCarthy was raised by his parents in Nesconset, who moved to the area in 1938. “I loved growing up there,” he said. “It was fabulous. It’s a wonderful life. People always envy you when you say you live in the Smithtown area.” Throughout his tenure on the board McCarthy has worked to develop and progress revitalization efforts in downtown Smithtown and the surrounding hamlets, expand

‘The people of this town have given me a wonderful life, and I have more to give back to them.’ —Tom McCarthy commercial properties and conserve and improve green spaces and local parks. Currently McCarthy has his hands in multiple projects, including planting more than 100 trees in areas throughout Smithtown, rebuilding the business district in St. James with infrastructure upgrades, working to purchase the administrative building from the Smithtown school district and more. Many residents of Smithtown were upset when they heard the school district intended to sell the New York Avenue building to a development company that would establish an apartment complex there. When that plan fell through, McCarthy

presented an alternative. “You have 13 acres of playing fields

there,” he said. “You can’t afford to lose that. I want to preserve those fields and come up with a downtown green and park, to give downtown Smithtown an identity.” The councilman is also working to develop sewers with money from New York State, which the town was able to acquire this past year. “All of these projects would not be possible without the financial stability the supervisor has given us,” McCarthy said of Smithtown Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R). “He has given me the ability to run with the ball.” Vecchio had nothing but praise for the work McCarthy has done. “Tom is a solid, hard working member of the town council,” Vecchio said in an email. “It is for that very reason that I have appointed him deputy supervisor over these many years.” As for why the residents of Smithtown should continue to put their trust in him, McCarthy said his background is exactly why. “I’m the only business man on the town board, and running for the town board,” he said. “The people of this town have given me a wonderful life, and I have more to give back to them.”

Kings Park was once home to the Society of St. Johnland, a utopian Christian community founded in 1865. It was once described by authors Bradley L. Harris and King Pedlar as a “forgotten utopia,” founded as a safe haven, orphanage and school for impoverished boys from Manhattan and Brooklyn. William Augustus Muhlenberg, (1796-1877) a Philadelphia native, ordained an Episcopalian priest in the 1820s, found himself with international accolades after founding St. Paul’s, a private college near Flushing, Queens. He began to think about creating a refuge for members of the Protestant working-class poor and thus purchased 500 acres of woodland in 1866 for $14,000, which grew into a campus built a stone’s throw from the picturesque mouth of the Nissequogue River to the Long Island Sound. It included a camp, an additional home for girls, an infirmary, a baby shelter and a living facility for seniors. Patients, their families and employees from the campus as well as nearby hospitals were excellent customers for the abundance of farmers in the area at that time. The Long Island Sound became such a draw for the families and children, providing beach access for summer education through the late 1940s. Notable New York society philanthropists contributed to the growth of St. Johnland. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt paid for the Sunbeam Cottage, built in 1881 for the educational training of orphan girls. The cottage had a sitting room, a playroom, dining room, kitchen and dormitory space for 20 girls. The babies’ shelter, known as the Lawrence House, provided care for children ages 2 through 8, was established the following year. In 1911, Alice Page Thomson became superintendent and arranged for 150 impoverished boys from Manhattan and Brooklyn to travel to the beaches of St. Johnland. She spent 35 years in the position. Under her leadership, the construction of the Robert Louis Harrison Infirmary opened in 1913. She also created the Women’s Auxiliary for St. Johnland in 1915, a group of women who provided philanthropic and physical support to the residents. During World War I, St. Johnland contributed not only its alumni who entered the service but also increased crop production for over 200 people throughout the war. During the 1950s, the trustees of St. Johnland had to decide upon which community they would focus their resources — children or the elderly, and the board voted to specialize in care for the elderly population. In 2016, St. Johnland celebrated its 150th anniversary and it is now a premiere nursing home with specialties in dementia care, adult day health care and rehabilitation services. Bradley L. Harris, Town of Smithtown historian, Joshua Ruff, consulting curator for the Smithtown Historical Society, and I were invited by Arcadia Publishing to author a book on the history of Kings Park in 2015. The book, “Kings Park,” was published last month and is for sale at the Smithtown Historical Society. Marianne Howard is the executive director of the Smithtown Historical Society.

Residents rally to condemn Trump’s transgender military ban Photos by Jill Webb

Above, a sea of signs at the Smithtown protest for transgender military rights July 27; below, two protestors embrace during the event. BY JILL WEBB In a show of unity, North Shore residents resoundingly condemned President Donald Trump’s (R) intentions to ban transgender people from the military this past week. Individuals gathered in front of the U.S. Army Recruitment Center in Smithtown July 27 in disapproval of President Trump’s announced ban. The ban stemmed from a series of tweets President Trump put out July 26, citing his reasoning for the transgender ban being that the military “cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.” Trump’s declaration of the ban on Twitter led the Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition to come out to Smithtown

to oppose the ban in a peaceful demonstration. The group advertised the demonstration via Facebook as a way for the transgender community and their allies to speak up for transgender service members. Juli Grey-Owens, executive director of LITAC led the demonstration with a loudspeaker in hand, chanting in solidarity with the transgender community. The goal of the demonstration, according to Grey-Owens, was to put transgender soldiers in the spotlight. “To make people aware of the fact that there are Americans that are supporting our transgender troops — that’s important,” she said. “Number two, it’s to make people aware of the fact that the transgender community is constantly under duress, constantly being discriminated against and this is just one more thing.”

The aim of LITAC is to advocate for the transgender community, often through forums, demonstrations, and putting on informational sessions that Grey-Owens refers to as “transgender 101s.” The Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act, passed in 2003 makes it unlawful for anyone in New York State to be discriminated against in employment, housing, credit, education and public accommodations because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation. But the law isn’t as clear for transgender individuals. SONDA does not explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and expression — but it does apply

when a transgender person is discriminated against based upon his or her actual or perceived sexual orientation, according to the New York State Attorney General’s office. Specific counties and areas, including Nassau and Suffolk County have taken matters into their own hands and passed more specific anti-discrimination legislation for sexual orientation. Grey-Owens said that LITAC’s objective is to step in any time the transgender community is being discriminated against. The executive director, along with many of the other attendees of the demonstration,

SCPD disavows Trump’s ‘don’t be too nice’ comments By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com

with suspects. Outside the event Trump supporters were grateful to have the president come and focus on their issues. Smithtown resident Angela Martinez spoke in support for the president. “This is the best, Trump coming here,” she said in an interview. “This is supposed to be good for the Island, this is supposed to be good for the community. The community really needs to work together.” Additional reporting contributed by Kyle Barr.

A presidential visit to Suffolk County ended with the Suffolk County Police Department distancing itself from President Donald Trump’s (R) comments encouraging police officers to use more force with suspects at an event in Brentwood Friday, July 28. “Please don’t be too nice,” Trump said to an audience of Suffolk County Police officers. “When you guys put somebody in their [police] car and you’re protecting their head, you know the way you put your hand over their head? Like don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody. I said you can take the hand away okay?” Officers broke into laughter and applause after Trump’s remarks, however less than two hours after he spoke police deFile photo partments and orgaFormer suffolk police chief nizations throughout James Burke was arrested for us- the country came out ing violent force with a suspect. to condemn Trump’s words. “As a department, we do not and will not tolerate roughing up of prisoners,” the Suffolk department said in a statement on Twitter. “The SCPD has strict rules and procedures relating to the handling of prisoners. Violations of those rules are treated extremely seriously.” For Suffolk County, the subject of police brutality is especially important, as disgraced former police chief James Burke was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for use of violent force with suspect Christopher Loeb, along with attempting to cover up his efforts and more. During the trial Loeb, who was imprisoned for a parole violation said the incident changed his life, according to a report from The New York Times. “I will never again feel comfortable in Suffolk County, the place I used to call home,” he said. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) vowed to “reform [Suffolk County] governmentally and politically in a way that we can ensure this doesn’t happen again,” as a result of the details of Burke’s crimes becoming public. Trump traveled to Suffolk to talk about efforts to eradicate gang violence, particularly with MS-13, which has been associated with violent criminal offenses in the past year in the county, especially in Brentwood. Other police departments also condemned Trump’s rhetoric. “To suggest that police officers apply any standard in the use of force other than what is reasonable and necessary is irresponsible, unprofessional and sends the wrong message to law enforcement as well as the public,” a statement from the New York City Police Department said. One police officer from Gainesville, Florida directly called out both the president and the Suffolk cops who cheered on his remarks. “I’m a cop,” Ben Tobias said on Twitter. “I do not agree with or condone POTUS remarks today on police brutality. Those that applauded and cheered should be ashamed.” Despite the reaction from the crowd, the Suffolk County Police Department was quick to distance itself from

Trump’s remarks. U.S. Rep Lee Zeldin (R) traveled with Trump throughout his trip to Long Island and praised the president for his efforts. “This administration has taken a hard stance against gang activity, and it is imperative that we come together as one community in rejection of this violence which has claimed too many innocent lives,” he said in a statement. “It is our obligation to make eradicating this criminal organization a top priority.” Zeldin did not respond to requests for comment regarding Trump’s encouragement of police using less restraint

Photos from Denise Allicino

Clockwise from above, participants at Setauket Elementary School’s Spring Fling decorate rocks with positive messages; samples of colorful paintings and inspirational slogans; local Girl Scout troop gets ready to hide some rocks after a painting event; and some characters that can be found on stones hidden at local locations.

North Shore mom encourages others to spread positivity By JEnnA LEnnon Denise Allicino has started a movement with the hopes of spreading positivity in her hometown and beyond — simply by scattering decorated rocks around several local parks and public places. The East Setauket resident and her family along with members of her Facebook groups, “Suffolk County Rocks” and “Nassau County Rocks,” decorate and hide rocks with positive messages on them to be found and kept or hidden again for future finders. Rocks have been spotted in local parks such as Avalon Park and Preserve in Stony Brook and Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve in Commack. The idea for this “pay it forward type movement” came about when Allicino’s

cousin visited from Florida. “We had some rocks laying around, and I saw online some people were also painting rocks, and I thought it’d be a cute little thing,” Allicino said. “I’m actually a graphic designer so I always have to have some sort of creative outlet. So it was a rainy day, she was visiting me. It was a perfect opportunity. I had my two girls with me, and we decided to paint some rocks.” A few months later, her cousin messaged her. “She goes ‘you’re not going to believe this: people are hiding rocks all over the place,’” Allicino said. Her cousin mentioned a Facebook group in her area dedicated to painting and hiding rocks with over 10,000 members. Allicino decided to try and bring a similar group to Long Island. What started with just 80 members back in March has quickly grown to a combined nearly 800 members. “People have kind of just taken it and ran with it,” Allicino said. “They’re painting their own rocks, they’re hiding them, and that’s it. It’s just going on its own, it has its own momentum, and it’s just gaining speed.” Painters are encouraged to include instructions on the back of the rock such as the name of the Facebook page, so people know where to post pictures, and what to do with a rock after it’s found. It is up to the finder whether they wish to keep it or re-hide it. But Allicino only has one real rule: keep it positive. “I think that’s what everyone likes about it is that it’s just so uplifting, just something good out there in the world for free for no reason,” she said. “Even if people aren’t on social media and don’t post a picture of the rock they find, it doesn’t even matter. The

whole point is to just brighten someone’s day, so that’s what we’ve been trying to do, just keep it completely positive.” Jennifer Fallon began painting rocks after Allicino brought a rock-painting event to their daughters’ religion group at St. James Roman Catholic Church. Since then, Fallon has participated in six different painting sessions and hiding in the community. “It’s unexpected first of all,” Fallon said. “And then when you turn the rock over and you’re directed to the Facebook page you see that other people are painting rocks and enjoying them and spreading good messages to other people, I think it brings people together.” Other rock-painting events include Setauket Elementary School’s Spring Fling and several Girl Scout Troop meetings. Shawn Patrick and his two nieces first went rock hunting at a local beach about six months ago. “Then we went to Michaels and bought the paints and got to it,” Patrick said in an

email statement. “It was really a nice day. Without cell phones, iPads, etc., and the kids loved it. I mean it took up the whole day.” Patrick said he appreciated the simplicity of the craft. “It’s really something that gives a nod to simpler times,” he said. “And now it’s spread all over. And it’s something you can do all the time and spend quality time with the kids. I think that’s why it’s spreading so fast. It’s like one of the few things that kids seem to like to do with family without being distracted.” Allicino said there were many benefits for children when it comes to the movement. “There’s nothing bad about it,” Allicino said. “They’re out there running, they’re getting exercise, and it’s community service, so now they’re also giving to the community.” Allicino continued, “That was one of my main things was getting my kids active in it too and teaching them to give back. Whether they get a picture posted on Facebook or not, they get a lot out of it.”

COUNTY

The king of the projectionist booth on Long Island BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM When Tim King began his career as a film projectionist in 1974, there were 165 independent movie theaters on Long Island — with five in Huntington alone. Now, he said, that number has dropped to about 35 throughout both counties. “Most of the theaters I’ve worked at are now long gone,” said King, 66, a projectionist at the Cinema Arts Centre since 2011. He also currently serves as treasurer of the IBEW Local 640, a projectionist’s union that once had 300 members but today only has 30. “I started at the North Babylon Theater and that’s now a Pier 1 Imports,” he said. But for King, the unseen operator behind the flickering light in the back of dark theaters for more than 40 years, a gradual decline in moviegoers is far from the only change he’s witnessed in his field. Throughout the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s, he worked at several movie houses throughout the island — from the old Centuries Shore Theater in Huntington to Commack Multiplex Cinemas to Island 16 in Holtsville among others — projecting 35mm film on 20-minute reels that required alternating between two side-byside projectors three times an hour. At the old Rocky Point Theater in 1974, he projected 16mm films and ran 70mm films at the Cinema 150 in Syosset in the 1980s. By 2003, he was certified to operate digital projectors and eight years later in 2011, the National Association of Theatre Owners estimated that 41 percent of movie theaters in the country fully converted to digital. Today, King said more than 90 percent of movie theaters have replaced their analog projectors with hard drives that can play summer blockbusters through a server with a simple push of a button. The shift wiped out many old-school projectionists and sent film projectors and celluloid prints to the trash. “I’m very lucky, I’ve worked steadily in this field except for about six weeks at the end of 2010 when I was laid off by AMC Loews in Stony Brook,” King said on his eventual hiring at the Cinema Arts Centre. At the community theater, he has been able to utilize every trick he’s learned in his career as it still regularly runs 35mm prints

“In the old days, when ‘Jaws’ came out in ‘75, which played probably for a year, people would stand outside the theater for 5 or 6 hours so if something went wrong, it would be [bedlam].” — Tim King

If film is kept at a certain temperature and humidity, it can last forever. People love black and white, and I guess it brings back memories for older people. For a younger audience, I think they feel like they’ve missed it. I’m definitely fascinated by the new interest in film.” Dylan Skolnick, co-director at the theater, said patrons love having the opportunity to see movies in their original format. “As the primary medium of one of the most important art forms of the 20th century, it is essential that we preserve movies on film to enable future audiences to see them as they were meant to be seen,” Skolnick said. “Film is also a more stable preservation format than digital and is vital to making sure that our cinematic patrimony is preserved for future generations.” Just last week, director Christopher Nolan released his World War II opus “Dunkirk,” which was shot entirely on 70mm and screened in the format and has recently spoken up on behalf of film preservation. “I gave a speech some years ago where I was asked to defend film, and I said that I felt like a stonemason defending marble,” Nolan said in a recent interview with Little White Lies magazine. “It’s ridiculous. This is why we’re all here. It’s what we do. This is film. Every digital format so far devised is just an imitation of film.” But King said in terms of quality, he values digital.

“There’s always a soft spot in my heart for film, naturally, but I’d say today, in some ways, it’s better in digital,” King said. “I mean, if you look at pictures from the mid-60s when Technicolor came in, movies like “My Fair Lady” or anything by Hitchcock, that Technicolor would dazzle. Digital doesn’t quite have that dazzle, but it has everything else. Film is very expensive; it’s about $2,000 per print to produce. You’re also handing film prints off to theaters that have never run the format before.” A marine engineering major at SUNY Maritime in the Bronx, King got into the business at the encouragement of his first wife’s father, Walter Lord, treasurer of the IBEW Local 640 back in the day, and quickly began four months of apprenticing when he was 22. He shadowed projectionists at the Bay Shore Sunrise Drive-In and Levittown Theater before taking a practical and written test and eventually found himself inside the booth full time. “I worked in the Centuries Shore Theater, which was an 1,800-seat theater, around 1976 and if anything went wrong, it’s on you,” he recalled. “We’re the guys where, if nobody knows you exists then that means you did a great job because everything went well. If something goes wrong, you’ll hear the thundering of the crowd. There’s been riots up there, things got messy and people would get mad. In

the old days, when ‘Jaws’ came out in ’75, which played probably for a year, people would stand outside the theater for 5 or 6 hours so if something went wrong, it would be [bedlam].” King said the biggest challenge as a film projectionist in those days was making the reel changeovers. An alarm would ring when there was about a minute left in the reel and from there he had to exhibit quick reflexes in order to — Tim King seamlessly go from the last frame of the outgoing reel to the first frame of the incoming reel. But sometimes he would rely on audio cues from the movies themselves to get ready for the changes. “I knew every single line in ‘Blazing Saddles,’ we ran that for months and I would sit there with the sound on and would be like, ‘the reel change is coming!’ based on certain jokes or laughs,” King said. The projectionist said he was able to do a similar routine based on certain screams in “Jaws.” Looking back on his career inside the booth, King said it’s been exciting to entertain people for so long. “Technically, I’ve shown films to millions of people,” he said. “Literally entertaining millions of people and if done right, seeing the looks on their faces, that gives me some satisfaction.”

TRANS BAN Continued from page A5 was aggravated with Trump’s claims regarding the expenses of transgender health. “One of things that they found is the number is so small in comparison to the defense budget, that it is a point zero something of the actual cost,” Grey-Owens said. “The army spends more on Viagra — ten times more on Viagra — then they will on transgender health costs.” One of the best ways to help the transgender community, according to Grey-Owens, is to unite with them. “If you take a look at the crowd that’s here now, there are way more cisgender people [someone who’s gender identity matches the sex they were assigned to at birth] than transgender people here, and that’s made our voice louder,” she said. “People are adopting our cause as their cause. If they’re interested in helping out, this is how you help us: expand our voice.” One participant, Edna White, said that she was in attendance in support of her transgender family and friends. She stressed the negative effects of the segregation. “Taking a serious defense of our country — that shouldn’t be separated,” she said. “We’re already separated enough in war as it is, so to do that is really disheartening for me.” Heather Sacc, another protestor said she found Trump’s sudden tweets against the transgender community very alarming. “There’s 6,000 trans people in the military that have risked their lives,” she said. “The military didn’t ask for this. It’s

just [Trump] woke up in the middle of the night and decided ‘oh that’s what I’m gonna do.’” Jay Guercio attended the demonstration representing the Long Island LGBTQA Visibility Coalition, a group she co-founded. Guercio said she felt betrayed by Trump going back on his claims he would support the LGBT community during his campaign. Trump tweeted in June 2016, thanking the LGBT community. “I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs,” he said. Guercio believes Trump has not kept his promise. “For him to go back on something that was implemented a year ago, that trans-people were allowed to serve and were allowed to get their surgery and their hormones covered, it’s just outright wrong,” Gurecio said. Guercio thinks the message Long Island should take from the demonstration is there is an LGBT community that will do everything in their power to stand in solidarity with each other. “We’re peaceful, this isn’t angry, this isn’t something that’s even violent in any which manner,” Guercio said. “I want people to understand that we just want to live our lives, and that we want the same rights as everyone else.” The following day protestors continued to berate Trump during a visit he made in Brentwood to the Suffolk County Police Department. Patricia Rios was holding a sign saying she voted for Trump and regretted her decision. “Once he comes for the ‘T’ [talking about transgendered] he’s going to come for the L, the G and the B,” she said. “So

Juli Grey-Owens chants with protestors at the Smithtown event. we’re here to protest that.” Dr. David Kilmnick, CEO of LGBT Network, a Long Island LGBT advocacy group said more than just transgender military members rights were ignored this week. “That [transgender ban] wasn’t the only thing he did to the community this week — which was big enough,” Kilmnick said. “His attorney general filed a court brief saying that Title VII doesn’t protect LGBT people from discrimination from the federal government. Having Trump here on Long Island, having Trump as president is an embarrassment, a disgrace. He doesn’t represent the values of our country of equality and justice.”

A Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released July 28 showed a large portion of the country disagrees with Trump on this position. According to the poll, 58 percent of adults agreed transgender people should be allowed to serve while 27 percent said they should not. Currently it’s unclear if Trump’s announcement will lead to real policy change, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford said last week the current military policy would not be changed until the White House issued further guidance. Additional reporting contributed by Kyle Barr and Victoria Espinoza.

community news Smithtown Attorney Leslie H. Tayne of Melvilleheadquartered Tayne Law Group, P.C. was recently elected as a new board member to the boards of directors of Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs, Smithtown, where she will serve a three-year term on each board. While serving on both boards, Tayne will attend quarterly joint meetings to discuss business matters pertaining to both organizations. As a board member, she will play an integral role in reviewing key issues relating to both organizations while making important recommendations and decisions. Since beginning her work with both organizations in 2010, Tayne has been a dedicated volunteer puppy raiser who has raised puppies to become guide or service dogs for people with disabilities. “I love everything about this cause,” explains Tayne. “It is so gratifying to be able to love and take care of the puppies and then see that love transferred to the person who they will eventually help when they become service dogs. The entire pay-it-forward process you get from it is so rewarding on so many levels.” Tayne’s dedication and passion for these organizations and the individuals they serve has transcended beyond puppy raising at her home. She brings the puppies she raises to her firm so the puppies and her employees are given a unique oppor-

tunity to socialize and enjoy time with one another. Her employees are encouraged to take part in loving, feeding and walking them, which provides a sense of home that has made her workplace a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere for her staff. Having puppies in her office has created a positive outlet for unconditional comfort and love during employees’ long, stressful workdays. In turn, the puppies Tayne raises are provided a consistent loving and nurturing environment while she is at work as well. Wells Jones, CEO of Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs, says Tayne has been a great asset for both organizations. “We’re pleased Leslie is joining the Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs as a member of our boards of directors,” he explains. “She has already shown her support of our mission by providing homes for our puppies, both as a puppy raiser and temporary puppy sitter. She has also sponsored several of our fundraising events. We look forward to her enthusiasm and expertise while our organizations continue to expand and grow to serve people with disabilities.” Always ready to donate her time when and where needed, beyond serving as a member of Guide Dog Foundation’s and America’s Vet Dogs’ boards of directors,

And home he misses. “How much I miss my bed,” he said. in our case, riding across the country.”

“There’s lot of chatting with the others, lots of silence, and lots of wind.” He has ridden through sprawling peaks and snow-capped mountains in Montana, crossed over valleys in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, past cornfields in Kansas and said he has loved “taking in the big, beautiful country on two wheels.” But for Carey, nothing compares to the experience of meeting locals from each state during the ride’s friendship visits. After a morning of pedaling, cyclists visit local groups supporting people with disabilities and take part in a long list of activities, from drawing with kids to playing wheelchair basketball and kickball to having lengthy conversations with teens and adults who face challenges every day. “It’s been extremely heartwarming,” he said of the visits. “Many of the organizations say it’s like Christmas when we come by. We just make sure the adults and kids are having a great time. You don’t realize everything you have until realizing it can be taken away like with the people we’ve met that have suffered injuries, and with those who are disabled their whole life.” Referring to the impact it has had on his fellow cyclists, he said, “I’ve never seen a group of guys cry as much as I do now.” He recalled a special moment in Casper, Wyoming, when a man who recently suffered a brain tumor relayed a resonating message. “We were all about to get up and go play some games over in a park when he stood up and sat us all back down to tell us not to stress over the little things in life,” Carey said. “Because, he said, you can wake up one day and have something like what he experienced happen to you and your whole life could change. He told us to enjoy every second we have as we are, which was really touching coming from a guy now considered disabled. It kind of just pointed out all the stupid things we stress about in our regular lives.” Preparation for the journey consisted of getting on a bike just a week and a half

before heading to Seattle, Carey admitted, but being an athlete during his days in Miller Place provided him with muchneeded mental stamina. He played soccer, which he competed in at a national level, and lacrosse, too. “I’m so excited for him, he’s always been in terrific shape and he probably has thighs the size of tree trunks now,”Carey’s mother Elizabeth Hine joked. “I’m proud as heck of him. Between seeing the country and all the people, he says this is the best summer he’s ever had.” Just two days into the cross-country ride, Carey said the group logged 125 miles over 24 hours while passing through Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state. “Everyone on that route, except one person who suffered hypothermia, finished, and at the end of it we all looked at each other and said, ‘That’s the hardest thing we’ve ever done in our lives,’” Carey said. “We all say that our bike is our disability and we have to overcome it each day.”

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never Known To Fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the Son of God, immaculate virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me & show me here in, you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity There are none who can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times). Oh Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands. (3 times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can obtain my goals. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted. M.T.D.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

Concerns about the Trump presidency President Donald Trump swept into office promising to surround himself with the best and brightest people, and that America would start winning again. I was hopeful that he would be able to “drain the swamp” of lying politicians and help to make America great again. Sadly, his first six months have displayed little more than ineptitude and chaos. Uncertainty and backstabbing in the executive branch, with rotating doors and public shaming — be it Sean Spicer, Reince Priebus, Jeff Sessions, Steve Bannon, James Comey or Anthony Scaramucci. This dysfunction in the White House is not helping to deal with threats from North Korea and a planned buildup of 100,000 Russian troops along the NATO border of Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. They see the United States as weak due to Trump’s inability to control his own File photo

Councilwoman Susan Berland smiles with a free sunscreen dispenser.

A bright idea At one Huntington beach, if you and your family and friends forgot to pack sunscreen for the day, you’re in luck. Town Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) started a pilot program last year at Crab Meadow Beach with a free sunscreen dispenser, and this year she hopes to expand the program to 14 locations, including town beaches, parks and the town pool. Berland is a skin cancer survivor and has made it her responsibility to educate others on the dangers of melanoma and how to keep your skin safe and healthy. We applaud her efforts. Skin cancer has been found in more patients than all other cancers combined in the last three decades, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon, and one in five Americans will eventually develop skin cancer. We now know more about the risks and consequences of tanning than we did even 10 years ago. We need to be smart with our skin if we have any intention of keeping it. This program is a great step toward ensuring residents have the best shot they can at protecting their skin. Aside from the obvious health benefits, this program is also very reasonable from a financial standpoint. Fourteen sunscreen dispensers, along with the refill packs for sunscreen, cost the town only about $1,600. Berland said that cost is lower than for some summer town-sponsored activities and events. We encourage other towns to look into the program in Huntington, which is a partnership between IMPACT Melanoma, formerly known as the Melanoma Foundation of New England, and the town. This organization provides education, prevention and support for the most serious form of skin cancer. “You put your hand under the sanitizer dispenser when you leave the bathroom,” Berland said. “Why not do the same when you leave the shade and head into the sun?” We hope that leaders in other municipalities take Berland’s lead and consider a similar program for their constituents.

branch of government: • He compromised Israeli intelligence sources by divulging information to Russia. • He has so far failed to pass tax reform or health care reform by choosing not to build consensus with moderates. • He failed to get Mexico to pay to build a wall along the southern border. Foreign governments are showering Trump properties with money to influence policy. For example, nearly $270,000 from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been spent at Trump’s D.C. hotel by a lobbying group fighting against the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, which would result in Saudi Arabia being financially liable for the 9/11 attacks. And where is our U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin? Right by Trump’s side. He claims to be a moderate but votes in line with Trump 97.5 percent of the time according

to FiveThirtyEight.com. Is he a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus of 35 Democratic and Republican moderates working to develop a health care bill that works? No, Zeldin would rather be Trump’s spokesperson on talk shows. Trump, with Zeldin by his side, continues to spread fear and distrust between the public and both the mainstream media and the U.S. Department of Justice. For the first time in my life, I am genuinely scared for the future of our experiment — the democratic republic we call the United States of America. If we can’t, as a general rule, trust the media and the system of justice, then our country has failed. If President Trump and Lee Zeldin keep winning like this, I hate to see what losing looks like.

A commitment not to overtax families Since we were hit with the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008, Suffolk County’s economy has been steadily recovering. To put it in perspective, when I came into office in 2012 we were faced with a $500 million dollar deficit, and today it hovers around $160 million. Although we still have a long way to go, let’s recognize that together we are moving in the right direction. I firmly believe that we live in the best place in the world with the potential to fully recover and prosper.

Recent reports have shown growth in our sales tax revenue which is a positive sign for our local economy. We’ve also seen growth in our job market and in June, Long Island added 21,500 more jobs, compared to June of 2016. To boost our economy we have made tough decisions in the Legislature and have rolled back spending and created efficiencies. We will continue taking decisive action to address our budget challenges, and I am prepared to make tough choices.

As a result of our efforts and the improvement of our sales tax revenue, it is my position that we can manage our budget without a fee increase. Let me be clear, I will not vote to double fees for traffic violations. I will fight tirelessly to ensure that we protect our families, provide necessary services and not overburden our residents with fees and taxes.

Thank you to a caring physical therapist After nearly 52 years of marriage, I lost my wife to long-term illness — lung cancer. Ten years of going to doctors every month for five straight days. After she died, I came home one night and fell in the house, and broke two fingers. It was not so bad so I figured I could take care of it myself. I didn’t feel any better so I had a doctor take a look at it. After five weeks in a cast I decided I didn’t need physical therapy. Boy, was I wrong.

I went to a physical therapist in Port Jefferson who was well trained in hand therapy, and her only concern was the well being of her patients. After 30 weeks of physical therapy, the long road to recovery is finally over. After talking on and off with her, I told her about the loss of my wife. She told me about losing her mother. At first she was very bitter about losing her mother. What she was going through with her mother, I was

going through with my wife. So we had a lot in common. She not only helped me with my broken fingers, she helped me cope with the loss of my wife. The last thing I’d like to say, and Jessica don’t be mad at me for this, but if I was 40 years younger and you were not married, I would ask you out on a date. Thank you for everything you did for me.

OpiniOn A Yankee apparition disappears to Oakland

wanted Dustin Fowler to succeed next year. In case you missed it, he’s the kid who came up from the New York Yankees minor league baseball system who ran into a low wall at Chicago White Sox and hurt his knee, ending his season and, as it turns out, his Yankees career before it began. Fowler was slated to lead off the second inning of his first major By Daniel Dunaief league game, but, instead, was carted from the field to receive emergency medical attention. It’s somewhere between incredibly difficult and impossible to make the major leagues and yet Fowler was good enough to be on the field. And then, like the real person

D. None of the above

Archibald “Moonlight” Graham, who was featured in the Kevin Costner movie “Field of Dreams,” Fowler got within inches of holding a bat and facing major league pitching, when the season ended for him. Fowler hasn’t left baseball but, as of this week, he’s no longer on the team he imagined joining. In need of starting pitching for this stretch run from now until October, the Yankees traded him as a part of a package to get Sonny Gray from the Oakland A’s. Now, I want the Yankees to win and Fowler was a chip the team could trade to get a talent who could pitch more than five innings, and who might win important games in October. And yet when Fowler left the Chicago field, I’m sure I wasn’t the only fan who hoped to support him a second time if and when he got another opportunity — and the Yankees needed him. He still may get his chance with Oakland. After all, if he was good

enough before his injury, he may ride the same determination and skill on the long road back to the majors. Over before it started, Fowler’s Yankee career will feel like an unopened or undelivered present, shipped somewhere else. Fowler was our boy. He was drafted in the 18th round in 2013 and had worked his way up to the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. In the statistics for his career, there is a “1” next to the number of games he played in 2017 with the Yankees, along with “zeros” all the way through every other column. No doubles, triples, home runs or runs batted in for this Yankee apparition. This is the time of year when baseball general managers have to decide between the present and the future. What are they willing to give up in an uncertain future for a present that may be less of an unknown? Will the A’s and now Yankees

pitcher Gray be worth the price of sentiment if he wins important games down the stretch and into the playoffs? Derek Jeter used to remain unflappable as teammates wandered on and off his team, often shrugging off questions while indicating he knew it was a business. If that business does well, do we care that some kid who may or may not have amounted to much for our team is now playing for someone else after bouncing back from adversity? Fowler will be the one who made it to the team, only to have a freak type of baseball interference prevent him from fulfilling his rise from Yankees prospect to Yankees player. The A’s and their fans will now pick up the Fowler narrative, making him a part of their lore and history. No matter how things pan out, Yankee fans can wish him the best even as we wonder what that might have been as a part of the New York narrative.

Traveling daily in the footsteps of Washington and the Culper Spies

hese days, with the chaos in politics, it is no wonder that many people are showing a renewed interest in our history and the goals of our Founding Fathers some 240 years ago that define who we want to be today. Many residents seem surprised by the significant role our Long Island area played in the Revolutionary War and are delighted to learn about the Culper Spy Ring that was centered in Seand led By Leah S. Dunaief tauket by Benjamin Tallmadge, a resident. “TURN: Washington’s Spies,” the AMC cable series now in its fourth and final year, has done much to popularize the spy story, speaking to our past. All of which serves to bring history to the fore. This is a good

result because history is part of the glue that defines a community and strengthens its roots. Since we at the newspaper believe this, we run regular columns by local historians telling our history, and we have now just finished a full-length film, “One Life to Give,” as I have previously mentioned, about how the Culper Spy Ring started. Its premiere is scheduled for Sept. 17. Now there is more good news to make us proud of the place in which we live. In a refreshing show of bipartisanship, two of our congressmen, Democrat Tom Suozzi of Glen Cove and Lee Zeldin, Republican of Shirley, have introduced legislation in the House to bestow upon the George Washington Spy Trail national historic status. The spy trail is essentially Route 25A, the road that was used by the spies during the war to travel behind enemy lines between Long Island and New York City, gaining vital intelligence about the British and their troop movements and strategy. Long Island was an occupied territory, the breadbasket of food and supplies for

the British, who were headquartered in New York City. All along the trail’s about 50-mile route was the highwire danger for the spies of being discovered and hung. Indeed, the British trapped Nathan Hale, whose purported last words were about his one regret being that he had but one life to give for his country. Washington well knew the enormous debt he owed to the spies, and to honor them he traveled in an elegant coach along the 25A route after the war in slow, celebratory fashion from Great Neck to Port Jefferson — then known as Drowned Meadow — staying at the inn owned by one of the spies, Austin Roe of Setauket. But at that time the purpose of his trip was known only to the tiny band of spies. Spies were then thought of as lowly deceivers by the people and not at all cloaked in the glamour of James Bond. So these courageous, remarkable men — and women, like Anna Strong — took their secret to their graves for fear of being ostracized by their countrymen. And Washington kept their secret. Only in

the middle of the last century were papers discovered by historians that revealed the bravery of the Culper Spies. Today, there are original letters written by Washington to the spies, with an addition on one by Benjamin Tallmadge, that can be viewed at the library of Stony Brook University. They were bought by Old Field resident Henry Laufer and donated to the university for that purpose. The spy trail is the result of an intense effort over some 20 years by Gloria Rocchio of Stony Brook and the North Shore Promotion Alliance to bring awareness of this historic road and its role in American history. A total of 26 signs, which they secured and installed, depict Washington’s coach and line his route. A national historic designation, under the auspices of the National Park Service, would not only honor these heroes but also perhaps bring federal grant money, and not insignificantly promote tourism to help our economy. So the Culper Spies live on and continue to serve.
