The Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter and Adoption Center will hold two special events on consecutive Saturdays. First, on July 23, the shelter will be hosting the second annual nationwide Clear the Shelters adoption event, which will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nearly 20,000 pets found their forever homes in 2015, when some 400 animal shelters across the country partnered with NBC-owned television stations and the Telemundo Station Group. This is the second year that the Brookhaven Animal Shelter and Adoption Center has participated. On July 30, the Town of Brookhaven will sponsor the Summer Lovin’ event. At both events, the normal adoption fees of $137 for a dog and $125 for a cat will be waived and neuter or spay, vaccinations, microchip, license, heartworm test, flea and fecal are also included at no cost. Both events will include vendors with information and giveaways. Food and refreshments will also be available. Those who are interested in adopting a dog or cat should visit the shelter, located at 300 Horseblock Road in Brookhaven. It is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday

But we do keep improving it. Come experience for yourself a different meaning to those words.

Stony Brook international students at a party hosted by the Colatosti family of Setauket

Befriend an international student Soon hundreds of international students will be arriving at Stony Brook University to begin their academic careers in search of advanced degrees. For most, it will be their first time in the United States. They have no family or friends here, in a completely foreign and unfamiliar environment. The Host Family Program, a community-based organization now in its fourth decade, provides a newly arrived international student with the friendship of a local American family. Run by volunteers, with the cooperation of the university, it has been directed by Rhona Goldman since 1974. It is not a home-stay program, as students live on or near campus, but host families invite stu-

147287

dents to share a meal, do some sightseeing, or a favorite activity. Both students and host families have the enriching experience of a cultural exchange and gain perspective about the world. A host family may be a retired couple, a family group, or a single individual. The only prerequisite is the desire to make an international student feel comfortable. Students will arrive on campus in late August for the start of the fall semester. The university will host a reception for the students and the host families to meet each other before the semester begins. There is a shortage of local volunteers. To learn more about hosting, email Rhona Goldman at: hostfamilies@stonybrook.edu.

North Shore residents are out to catch ‘em all The latest trend sweeping the nation is a throwback from the 1990s with a modern-technology twist: an augmented reality Pokémon game played on smartphones, and residents of the North Shore are not immune. Hundreds of kids, teenagers and adults alike took to the streets this week to interact in this new game. This newest offering from Pokémon evolved the franchise beyond the original cards, television show and video games. Pokémon GO allows players to create an avatar, called a trainer, and walk around catching any of the 150 original Pokémon. Players can battle one another and get free in-game items from locations chosen by the game. Pokémon GO is getting people of all ages out of their houses and into their neighborhoods. The only way to catch Pokémon is to walk around searching for them, and similarly, the only way to get a refill of free in-game items is to go to Pokéstops. One of those stops is the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in East Setauket. Director Ted Gutmann said once he discovered this, he had to try it. “I caught a few in my office,” he said. “So they’re here!” The library is busy this time of year because of its summer reading program, but Gutmann said being a Pokéstop is attracting more visitors than usual. “The hope is, once they get in here,

they’ll stop and read a book or attend one of our programs,” he said. Gutman added that the library had tried its hand at augmented reality a while ago, implementing the technology in its newsletter. It abandoned the effort because it was not getting enough use at the time, but now that Pokémon GO is increasing the popularity of augmented reality, he said the library may revisit the project. “There are lots of opportunities to use the technology beyond the game,” he said. Port Jefferson’s Main Street is also a huge attraction for players. With a multitude of Pokéstops and gyms, the promise of Port Jefferson tempted Chris Aguilar, 23, to travel from Riverhead two days in a row. Aguilar said there were so many people in the streets on the first night he was in the area, July 13, that mobs of trainers were crossing the streets. They did not begin to clear out until about 2:30 a.m. “This game is bringing people together in an unprecedented way,” he said. “It’s like an age gap doesn’t exist between players,” who can speak to each other on almost an equal level about the game and trade tips. Other local hotspots to catch Pokémon include Heritage Park in Mount Sinai and Sylvan Ave. Park in Miller Place. According to Reddit, one user said there are 19 Pokéstops and two gyms on the 0.7mile path in the park. Just two days after the game’s release, players were spending an average of 43

ing as an assistant for the Yankees during spring training. “I ended up weaving myself into the fabric of the organization,” Cavalea said. Once an assistant position opened up, Cavalea was brought on board permanently, and just three months into the season, after a pattern of hamstring injuries for players, the head strength coach was fired and Cavalea was moved up. “You’re in your early 20s and it’s like hanging out with the Rolling Stones,” he said. “My Mick Jagger was Derek Jeter and the backup artists were Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada, so it was really cool to have that opportunity to work alongside

Work was too far away for one North Shore native, so he decided to bring his work home. After interning as a strength and conditioning coach for the New York Yankees during college, Dana Cavalea found himself taking the 4 a.m. train into Manhattan each morning to work at Sports Club/LA in New York City, where Derek Jeter’s trainer told him he could get all celebrity clients. “I had to take a train out of Ronkonkoma to get to work, and it wasn’t for me,” Cavalea said. So the Mount Sinai graduate and former ballplayer got down to business, and built one. In 2014, Cavalea opened ML Strength in Huntington and Inspired by ML Strength in Port Jefferson to try to mimic the success of his first location, which opened in White Plains in 2011, as a training facility that originally catered to professional athletes. It was very exclusive, but Cavalea decided to open the business’s doors once he realized he had a pretty cool concept going. “Our proprietary mix, what makes it so special that people can’t really get anywhere else, is I basically looked at what I used to do with [professional] athletes: the sports medicine, athletic training department and physical therapy, and the nutrition and recovery part — and I basically extracted that department, and created a consumer model out of it,” he said. “Someone that is not Derek Jeter can go get that level of care in a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment.” Cavalea was never judged during his rise in the world of training professional athletes, he said. While attending the University of South Florida to earn a degree in exercise science, at just 19 years old he found himself work-

North Shore legislator: Don’t sell Plum Island By Wenhao Ma The future of Plum Island, a government-owned isle located in Southhold Town, east of Orient Point, is still unclear, but one North Shore legislator wants to ensure it remains in the government’s hands. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) announced on July 7 that the House of Representatives passed another one of his legislative proposals to save Plum Island from being sold to private developers. It was his second piece of legislation passed on this issue since May. Currently, the federal government owns Plum Island, but a 2008 law required that the government sell the property to the highest bidder. Zeldin said he think this is the wrong path for the island, which has served as the site for the Plum Island Animal Disease Center for decades. “It is time for the United States Senate to act and pass my proposals, so that we can pursue a better direction for Plum Island that would allow for continued research, public access and permanent preservation of the island,” Zeldin said in a statement Zeldin’s amendment to the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act of 2017 prohibits any of the funding within the appropriations bill to be used to market or sell Plum Island. Both of Zeldin’s proposals were passed with bipartisan support in the House. The May bill would reverse the 2008 federal law that mandated the public sale of Plum Island by the government to the highest bidder. Now, Zeldin is looking for support from the Senate. “The Senate also must pass this legislation to ensure that Plum Island is not sold to the highest bidder, but rather is preserved for generations to come,” he said. The congressman said he would work on providing alternative uses for the island, such as a transfer of ownership to another federal agency, the state or local government, a nonprofit, or a combination for the purpose of education, research and conservation. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s website, Plum Island was “the nation’s premier defense against accidental or intentional introduction of transboundary animal diseases,” including foot-and-mouth disease, a viral illness most popular in children under the ages of five. Homeland Security took over ownership

of the island in 2003. Five years later, Congress passed Public Law 110-339, which allowed the General Services Administration to close the disease center and sell the island to the highest bidder in order to fund the building of the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas — the replacement for the existing center, due to the age and safety levels of the old facility. Environment groups from both Long Island and Connecticut have been strongly opposing the law, saying that handing the island to private developers could bring damage to the natural environment and resources. “Its location at the convergence of two major estuaries provides an essential habitat for a rich variety of resident and migrating wildlife,” said Kevin McAllister, founder and president of the Sag Harbor-based nonprofit Defend H2O, which protects and restores the environmental quality of groundwater, surface waters, wetlands and beaches on and around Long Island. “Selling the island to developers would open the gates to more water pollution. Giving it

Soundkeeper was among many organizations and individuals that filed a lawsuit in federal court on Long Island two weeks ago against the Department of Homeland Security and General Services Administration, that accused the department of violating federal laws and failing to protect endangered and threatened species by intending to sell Plum Island. John Turner, spokesman for the Preserve Plum Island Coalition, is one of the

plaintiffs in the suit. “We think that the government needs to comply with the existing law,” he said. Zeldin said he is supportive of the local groups’ efforts to prevent the sale of Plum Island. Besides activist groups, Southold Town also took actions to save the island. Three years ago, the town passed a zoning law that created two zoning districts on the island, making one a research district and the other a conservation district, where no housing nor any kind of development would be permitted. If the island is sold, a new buyer would have to follow those zoning laws. According to a 2016 Homeland Security report, Alternatives for Final Disposition of Plum Island, the new zoning “sets forth a limited number of allowed uses, restricting the development potential of the property.” Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell (R) said the town has been working well with local environment groups to prevent an uncertain future for the island.

Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) is a co-sponsor of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016, which plans to spend $8.3 billion to help combat widespread drug addiction, especially addiction to heroin, on Long Island. CARA passed through the House of Representatives last week with a bipartisan vote of 407 to 5, and the Senate this week with a bipartisan vote 92 to 2. Zeldin, who is a member of The Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic, said he has been a proud supporter of this bill for more than a year now, and is happy to see Congress backing it. “With both House and Senate passage of CARA, a bill that I proudly cosponsor, we are now only one step away from this bill being signed into law,” Zeldin said in a statement. “78 people [lose] their life every day as a result of an opioid or heroin overdose. Last year — on Long Island alone — 442 people died of a heroin or opiate overdose, up from 403 overdose deaths the year before. As addiction and overdose deaths continue to climb, tearing apart families and communities, it is essential that the President sign CARA into law to start delivering help to those suffering.” The specifics of CARA include $80 million in funding to help prevent and treat addiction on a local level through community-based education, prevention, treatment and recovery programs; $160 million for the expansion of medication-assisted treatment options; and $103 million to establish a community-based competitive grant program to address and treat the problems of heroin and opioid addiction and abuse. Additional funding will help supply police forces and emergency medical responders with higher quantities of naloxone, known more commonly as Narcan, which can reverses an opioid overdose. Another part of CARA’s funding focuses on pain management and prescription. According to the bill, the Department of Health and Human Services is required to assemble a Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force, which will review, modify, and update the best practices for pain management and prescribing pain medication, and examine and identify the need for, development, and availability of medical alternatives to opioids. The grant aspect of CARA is connected to the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. CARA is set to amend that bill to authorize the Department of Justice to award grants to state, local and tribal governments to provide opioid-abuse services, including enhancing collaboration between criminal justice and substance abuse agencies; developing, implementing and expanding programs to prevent, treat, or respond to opioid abuse; training first responders to administer opioid overdose reversal drugs; and investigating unlawful opioid distribution activities. The North Shore is not immune to the heroin crisis. According to a New York State Opioid Poisoning, Overdose and Prevention Report from 2015, Suffolk County has the highest heroin-related overdose fatalities of any county in New York.

Thomas scully Continued from page A4 to a storm. As the waves rolled in and everyone came out of the water, Thomas continued to drift along, taking it all in, Manzo said. “He wasn’t going to let anything go by without taking it in,” she said. “And I think we should all live like that. We forget to. We take things for granted. We all think that we have time, but we don’t. The talks that Thomas and I had have blown my mind. He was so wise beyond his years.” Thomas shared many hobbies with his friend Robby Fitton, who he met in 2012 in at North Country Road Middle School. “Back before he got very sick we played outside a lot,” Robby said. “He loved baseball. He also loved playing video games, riding around in his golf cart, playing the card game Crazy Eights and going to Wasabi, his favorite restaurant, I felt really bad for him that he had to go through that all and it was upsetting to see him like that because he’s my age and had a very serious sickness.” But he was there for his friend, and the two continued to get together at least once or twice a week. Once Thomas found himself in the hospital, Robby visited him there, too. “It was tough seeing him with IVs hanging out of his arms and all the treatments he had to go through, but he always stayed positive,” Robby said. “I thought of him as one of my best friends because if something happened to me he would always call or text me to check and see if I was OK. We’d always be there for each other, that was a big thing with our friendship. He was special in his own way. I miss him.” Thomas also had a lot of strength, and his mother called his battle “one heck of a ride.” “He kept us going,” Despina Scully said. “He was our strength. I’m so unbelievably proud and feel so unbelievably blessed to be his mother and to have gotten the time that I had with him. I feel so lucky to be his mom.” Those who knew Thomas described him as very humble. His mother said that if you told him you brought him a leaf because you were thinking of him, it’d mean the world to him. He was also outspoken. While watching other children with cancer

on television, he would ask his mother, “Why can’t I also be on television?” When his mother asked, “What would you say if you were on TV?” his response was to tell everyone, “Hello, world. You need to be kind to each other, embrace and love each other.” Scully is trying not to let that message go. “He was never negative — he would always see the good,” she said. “That’s what I’m trying to hold onto. I’m getting caught up in being upset that he’s gone and that he’s not coming back and how things happened, and I’m trying not to do that because I can’t get him back. He’s gone. I’m just trying to hold onto all those things that he was trying to tell me while he was here and I was just too busy worry about what medicines and what treatments and where he’s going to go and how we’re going to beat his cancer, and I wasn’t there, like I should have been. I wasn’t hearing him. And now I hear him, and I don’t want to let that go.” Thomas is survived by his parents James and Despina Scully; his brother James Jr.; his sister Jillian; his grandparents Emerson and Helen Vidal, and James Scully, husband of the late Jean Scully. Religious service was celebrated at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption in Port Jefferson. Interment followed at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Port Jefferson. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Branch Funeral Home of Miller Place.

5th-graders receive awards from local elected officials Fifth-grade students at Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School in the Miller Place school district recently received prestigious awards from local elected officials for their exceptional community service. The recognitions included Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s Triple “C” Award, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s Public Service Award, and NYS Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s Achievement Award. The four students who received these honors were Autumn Stahlmann, Abigail Specht, Christian Tarsia and Vasiliki Tassiopoulos. Abigail and Vasiliki received Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s Triple “C” Award. This honor is given to students who

demonstrate outstanding courage, character and commitment throughout the school year. Autumn was the recipient of Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s Public Service Award, which is given to one student in the school who has exhibited both academic success as well as a commitment to enhancing the community. Christian received the New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s Achievement Award. Christian was nominated for excelling in the classroom and for demonstrating strong leadership skills while involved in many extracurricular and community service activities.

More than 230 fourth-grade students from the Miller Place school district’s Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School put themselves behind the goggles of fossil hunters when members of an expedition in Antarctica brought their discoveries and experiences to the school. Students took a virtual trip through Antarctica as they listened to firsthand accounts of the expedition from Kerin Claeson and graduate student Abagael West. The students were able to hold real fossils discovered during the expedition and try on goggles used by the team. The fossil hunters also shared slides and videos from the team’s trips in the air, on the water and during hikes. In addition, Claeson shared a video from the point of view of her eyes as she looked for fossils. The experience spanned three subjects in the fourth-grade curriculum. Students read “Antarctic Journal,” in English language arts classes in preparation. The students also discussed Antarctica’s geography and climate and evidence of prehistoric vertebrate life throughout the expedition as they relate to the students’ social studies and science lessons.

Rocky Point teacher leaves lasting impact on athletes By Desirée Keegan One Rocky Point couple intends to give kids with disabilities a memorable summer. It all started with Jenny Andersson’s daughter, 13-year-old Sarah Fabricatore, who has Down syndrome. Andersson went up to her daughter’s reading teacher, Pete Costa, at the Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School in Rocky Point, to talk to him about the lack of athletic programs for students with disabilities — and Costa took it to heart. As a result, the varsity girls’ soccer coach and his wife Jean take time out of their summers to host Rocky Point Athletes for All, a free, once-a-week, one-hour session of fun-

After Wednesday’s session, which runs from 5:30-6:30 p.m., there are still three more weeks left for locals to come down. Residents can sign up through the community education flyer on the Rocky Point website, and find out more about the program on Costa’s eBoard. “It pulled her out of her funk,” Andersson said of how Athletes for All has affected her daughter. “They are so respectful of who each child is, and don’t try to change the kids. We’re just super grateful. I love watching Sarah play, have a great time, truly enjoy it and feel respected as a person. The Costas created such a special and fun environment, and are making a huge difference in these children’s lives.”

Dana Cavalea Continued from page A5 that caliber of talent at such a young age. It showed that age doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t mean qualified or not qualified.” Cavalea held that position from 2007-13, when he was not brought back to the team after management said it wanted to go in a different direction. That’s when he took the opportunity to expand his brand, opening up two new locations within a year of each other. The training location in Huntington, at 310 New York Ave., and Inspired in Port Jefferson, at 156 E. Main Street, which focuses more on rehabilitation, weight loss, strength improvement and pain relief, instead of just catering to training athletes. “Unfortunately the fitness world can be misleading,” Inspired manager Caroline Silva

said in an interview. “The educational part of it is huge. Athletes want to go far but don’t have a good foundation, or so many adults that want to keep active but give up because their knee hurts, so the educational part is huge and that’s how Inspired has inspired me. And Dana wants every little town to have that.” That’s the bigger picture for Cavalea: To continue to bring on more physical therapy and exercise science professionals, like Silva, who played European handball and danced contemporary and jazz in Brazil, and expand the brand profile coast to coast, so that each town can have its own ML Strength or Inspired. “We get a lot of athletes from Mount Sinai that come here injured, and it’s fun to be able to help them achieve their goals and create a place that I didn’t have,” Cavalea said of giving back to his community. “I didn’t have this and I needed something like this when I tore my hamstring as a high school athlete. It hindered my play through high school and through college, so if I had something like this, it would’ve truly helped me.” The experience at Inspired can be described as “full service.” Clients walk are greeted by name when they enter, put on a table to be stretched, massaged and to receive acupuncture. Next comes strength, conditioning and weight training, followed by more stretching and a visit to the complimentary sauna before leaving. The program is also tailored to the individual. Inspired offers yoga classes, and all training is done with a maximum of 15 people, because Cavalea wants to keep it personal. “You lose the why behind what you’re doing,” he said of a larger group setting. “What I did with these guys for so many years was so personal. You had to know everything

When you injure a professional athlete, you can be disabling a $300 million asset. So I come in and I train my staff the same way, to look at our costumers as if they have that dollar value attached to them, because it will force you to give a high level of care.” Silva said clients are treated like they’re the pros, too. “We have things that athletes use like the recovery boot, they come and they use and

feel like the pros, and get treated like them too,” she said. “It makes them feel special and gives them motivation to keep going.” Cavalea has helped patients at Inspired regain mobility in their arms, gain strength to walk up and down stairs again, and said just recently he helped a foot-and-ankle doctor regain mobility after a total right knee replacement. He said the doctor just hiked the Alps in Europe for eight consecutive days. “I always wanted to create a brand that stands for something,” he said. “This has allowed me to train in health, wellness and fitness in a way that all people can benefit from.”

Now more than ever, you need fair, trustworthy service.

the safety risks associated with the app. Pedestrians are now wandering around towns, with their eyes turned down at their smartphones. Law enforcement agencies, institutions of higher education and public transportation systems have tweeted about the dangers of walking around consumed by a smartphone. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) held a press conference July 12 to remind residents to exercise caution while playing. “The safety and well-being of our residents, especially children, is our highest priority,” he said in a statement. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini echoed Bellone’s sentiments at the event.

“There have also been accounts of people using the application while driving,” Sini said. “We are encouraging not just parents, but all users, to practice caution to avoid injury to self and others.” Stony Brook University also contributed to the conversation, reminding students to watch where they are walking while playing. Mark Szkolnicki, a student of the university, said that he is always careful. “I grew up in a bad area, so the whole mugging-for-phones thing has been something that I’ve been cautious of forever,” he said. “But I worry for the youth because it’s a cool concept and it could really grow, but those kinds of obstacles really put a downer on the whole gaming community.” Stony Brook Office for Marine Sciences Secretary Christine Fink agreed. She said it is important to keep in mind that if players are going hunting for Pokémon at night, they should go with at least one other person.

Legislator Sarah Anker urges residents to be safe while boating in areas such as Mount Sinai Harbor.

Leg. Sarah Anker: Be safe while boating

‘The Neck’ — a beautiful view of Plum Island.

Photo by John Lorenz

Preserve Plum Island One of the things that instills great pride in North Shore residents is the unparalleled natural beauty of the place we call home. We are grateful to those who came before us for their discernment and diligence in protecting and preserving that — which, once developed, is lost forever. Conservationists and environmentalists have worked to ensure that open spaces, clean water, nature preserves and pine barrens will continue to exist for future generations to enjoy. A controversy is roiling Long Islanders and activists nationwide, over the proposed sale of Plum Island by the federal government. In 1954, the island was the secured location of an animal research facility run by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. More recently, responsibility for the island has shifted to the Department of Homeland Security. Today, Plum Island, an important, pristine, ecological habitat, is in danger of being sold to a developer. The island has seen little human traffic in the last 70 years, which has enabled about 80 percent of the land to revert to its natural state. It is now home to some of our most imperiled species. As the Plum Island Animal Disease Center has become outmoded, plans are afoot to create a new center in Manhattan, Kansas. To defray the cost of the new facility, the government wants to sell the 843-acre coastal island to the highest bidder. We applaud the efforts of Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) to block the proposed sale. The House of Representatives has passed two of his legislative proposals to date. Zeldin urges the Senate to act and pass the proposals as well, and we agree with his sentiments. We are hopeful that we can pursue a better direction for Plum Island than just private ownership, one that would allow for continued research, public access and permanent preservation.

The summer season is a great time for activities like boating and kayaking. As a result, I would like to remind residents to take the necessary precautions to ensure safety in and around the water. Each year, thousands of people are injured due to boating accidents, but many injuries can be prevented if the proper steps are taken. Please utilize the following tips to ensure a safe boating or paddling experience: • All passengers should wear life jackets. Whether you are on a larger boat or in a kayak, it is always recommended you wear a life jacket. The U.S. Coast Guard estimates that almost 80 percent of boating fatalities could have been prevented if life vests had been worn. • Drivers must be educated be-

fore putting the boat to use. About 70 percent of boating accidents are due to errors that would not have happened if the driver knew their responsibilities and the rules of boating. All Suffolk County residents 18 years and older operating motorized recreational boats must take an approved boater safety course, pass an exam and carry a boating safety certificate while boating in Suffolk County. A listing of National Association State Boating Law Administrators approved Suffolk County courses can be found at www.nysparks.com/recreation/boating/safety-courses.aspx. • Look out for and avoid any hazards. This includes other boaters and inanimate objects in the water. • Know before you go! Knowing the weather and water conditions ahead of time can help boat-

ers make smart decisions about safety. Remember that conditions can change quickly, and it is important to stay alert. • Know your physical and emotional limitations. Do not enter dangerous conditions unless you are sure you are a strong enough swimmer in case your boat capsizes. • Always report any accidents that occur. While I hope that all boaters and swimmers remain safe, federal law requires an accident report be filed if one does occur. I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable boating season.

Somber thoughts after violence in France

When I watched the news from Nice, France, I was filled with pain and sadness. I have been to Nice many times. I have walked on the Promenade. I have swum from those beaches. I have eaten in those restaurants. First as a sailor attached to the Sixth Fleet. Then as a businessman. Then, as recently as last year, as a vacationer. My experience in Nice has always been a good one. The people I have met have always been warm, friendly and welcoming. For me, it is as though my hometown was attacked. I’m tired of our politicians and news media pretending this is all part of some ideological religious war. It is nothing more

than a series of gangs, Middle Eastern “war lords,” using false ideology to obtain wealth and power. Virtually every government in the world knows who they are and many have the power to destroy them. These war lords, oil moguls and arms dealers are making huge profits fanning the flames of hatred but, as usual, elected and appointed officials are easily bought and sold. Haven’t we had enough? Isn’t it long past time to stop listening to the rhetoric as if it were fact? We are facing an election in which, if we can believe the polls, the majority of Americans don’t want either candidate.

What have we, the people, done about it, nothing. The strongest nation on the Earth cannot seem to find and stop the wealthy war lords. What have we, the people, done about it, nothing. Perhaps our own apathy is the reason so many are dying such violent deaths. 9/11 was a loud wake-up call, we sprung out of bed only to seem to have hit the snooze button. Once again, after an initial flurry of interest, as a people, we have done nothing more than say, “someone needs to do something.” But then, that’s just one man’s opinion.

opinion Amongst a sea of bad news, a plea for acts of kindness

T

he news is in my blood. If you don’t believe me, check the name of the person who writes the column on the same page and who started this business 40 years ago — go Mom! And yet there’s far too much blood in the news these days. It’s not enough that storms and natural disasters kill: People are murdering each other in stomach-churning numbers. It’s heartwrenching to By Daniel Dunaief read about the losses in our country and around the world. Far too often, headlines about senseless violence fill the news. News organizations shouldn’t ignore these horrific acts, because

D. None of the above

we want to know what’s going on in the world, what we need to do to stay safe and what other people are doing and thinking. It seems to me that there are things we can do. We can give blood. Why? We might save someone’s life, we might give someone a vital supply of something we can’t grow in a field, pull from a river or manufacture in a laboratory. Recently, I met a woman who had been donating blood to her father for two years. He was sick and he needed blood on a regular basis. After he died, she continued to give blood. She said her father received blood from other people besides her during his illness, and she wanted to give back to a system that improved and extended his life. Do we read about her? No, generally, we don’t, because it’s a small act of kindness and social awareness that doesn’t get politicians angry and doesn’t cause people to write messages to each other over the Internet. It’s not an opportunity to resort to name calling: It’s just a

chance to save lives. We can also volunteer to make our communities better places. We can be a big brother or big sister, or we can find a charitable organization that provides caring and support for families that have children with special needs. My Aunt Maxine had Down syndrome and gave so much more than she ever took. Sure, she dominated the airwaves with her husky voice and, yes, she sometimes said and did things that made us roll our eyes, but, more often than not, she displayed the kind of unreserved love and affection that jaded and vulnerable adults find difficult to display. When Maxine laughed or did something extraordinarily funny, like sharing a malapropism, she laughed so hard that she cried. Nowadays, after she died, we find ourselves sharing tears of joy when we think of how much she contributed to our lives and to the room. When the big things seem to be going in the wrong direction, we

the people can commit random acts of kindness. Yes, we can and should pray for each other. It certainly can’t hurt, regardless of whether we’re Christian, Jewish, Muslim or any other religion. We can also take the kind of actions that define who we are and that show our character. We are living in a world after the Brexit vote and after the failed coup attempt in Turkey. We may not know what to make of all that, but we can decide who we want to be. We can’t stand on a platform, the way all the former Miss America contestants of bygone days used to, and wish for “world peace,” because that seems naive. And, yet, we can hope that small acts, committed in the name of counterbalancing all the negative news, echoed and amplified across the nation, can turn the tone. We are fortunate enough to live in a place where we can shape the world in a way we’d like it to be, one community and one random act of kindness at a time.

Great fun and games amid Culper Spy Day history

T

his might sound peculiar since I am in the news business, but for over the past weekend I disconnected myself from all news reports. I was unplugged, you might say. Now this is a confession from an ultra news junkie. I’m normally so addicted that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I’ll switch on the bedside radio to catch up on what has happened since I went to sleep. But the past week, with the excruciating By Leah S. Dunaief racist events and senseless killings, here and abroad, were more than I could process. So I just turned off, or rather I didn’t turn anything on — not my radio, not the television, not the news apps on my cellphone. I didn’t even talk about the news with friends and neighbors.

Between you and me

What a luxury to be able to withdraw from global events for a couple of days. I have a further antidote for all that has been happening in the world, and it’s even great fun to pursue. This Saturday is Culper Spy Day in Setauket, and it is the work of a number of local organizations committed to bringing history to life. The Culper spies, as you may know, were a small band of close friends who provided George Washington and the colonists with critically important information throughout the Revolutionary War at great risk to their lives. So engaging were their exploits, and so valuable to the eventual outcome of the war, that AMC has a cable TV drama, “Turn,” which has been drawing large audiences for three seasons to date. The series is what we call historical fiction, with the emphasis on fiction loosely — very loosely — based on real events. Those events belong to us because they are part of our local history and are a source of community pride. This Saturday, July 23, you will be able to walk or bike or drive a designated route that offers views of key locations in the Culper story. There will

be “colonists” in costume and signs along the way, helping the stories come alive. And we at Times Beacon Record have produced a multimedia map to enhance your experience. I refer to the newly released Three Village Map, complete with local roads and information from our business community. On this map is a QR code and also a link that, if you click on it with your mobile phone, will open up onto our website to seven different dramatizations of Culper stories — that we promise are historically accurate. In fact, the truth, we think, is more riveting than fiction, as we watch the dangerous exploits of these American heroes and heroines. The actors in these episodes may be recognizable to you, and they do a fine job of conveying the gist of the story. We have used the services of a professional film crew, who shot the local scenes over the past several months. Community leaders introduce each film segment to set the scene. And in between episodes, if you are walking the route with your family, there are fun arcade-like games to play on your smartphone or laptop. The games, like

the scenes, are our original creations and lots of fun. I predict your children — and you — will return to them many times to improve your score. I have. Special thanks go to the participating organizations and their members for the vision to mount such an ambitious event and the enormous amount of time and effort that went into making history come alive. These include the Three Village Historical Society, The Ward Melville Heritage Organization and The Long Island Museum. The Times Beacon Record has put together a special pullout within this week’s Arts & Lifestyles section with additional information about Culper Spy Day. Copies will be distributed for free in the historical society parking lot; our multimedia map is $3. Tickets for the more-than 16 attractions, including battle reenactments and colonial cooking demonstrations, are $25, with children under 12 free, from the historical society, WMHO Educational & Cultural Center in Stony Brook village and The Long Island Museum. Have yourselves a worry free and wonderful day!
