Lemonade for a cause

Next Date Available: Saturday, August 26 CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT

The fifth annual Three Village Kids Lemonade Stand will take place Aug. 2 from 2 to 6 p.m. With permission from the Three Village Central School District, this will be the first year that co-founders, siblings Maddie and Joseph Mastriano, will have the lemonade stand on the grounds of R.C. Murphy Junior High School instead of in front of their home. The organizers anticipate visits from celebrity Chef Barret Beyer from the television series Hell’s Kitchen, team members from the Stony Brook University men’s basketball and women’s soccer teams and the Long Island Rough Riders. There will also be a performance by the local student band Swim.

Heroic golden retriever honored by county exec. Storm’s owner sheds light on the life-saving incident in Port Jeff Harbor turned viral sensation BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM A local English golden retriever has earned a lifetime of “Good boy!” declarations and belly rubs, but Suffolk County recently threw him another bone to add to the accolades. Suffolk County’s newest hero is Storm, a brave 6-year-old dog, who became a national celebrity Page A22 last week after a video of him pulling a drowning fawn from Port Jefferson Harbor Sunday, July 16, spread like wildfire online. Storm rolled around in the grass outside the Save the Animal Rescue Foundation in Middle Island July 19 as he and local animal rescue members were honored for their efforts to save the baby deer. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) presented proclamations to East Setauket resident and attorney Mark Freeley, Storm’s owner who captured the heroics on his cellphone, Strong Island Animal Rescue League co-founder Frankie Floridia, who aided in the rescue, and Save the Animals Rescue Foundation Director Lori Ketcham, who is rehabilitating the 3-month-old male fawn now referred to as Water. He is currently in stable condition. Despite an attempt to present an official proclamation to man’s best friend of the hour, Storm seemed much more interested in a large bone provided by the county executive’s staff. “We’re here to talk about some of the heroes we have here, both canine and human, for what they’ve done to really remind us of the importance of compassion and giving to others and helping others,” Bellone said, acknowledging the selfless initiatives of the animal rescue groups. Looking down at Storm, he said, “And this dog here is no ordinary golden retriever. He really did something important and special for us. The inspiration that Storm has given to all of us should inspire us to support the work of people like this that

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

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

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

Legislators and community leaders, above, at a July 25 press conference make a plea to the New York State Department of Transportation to extend sidewalks along 25A in Stony Brook, below, west of the train station.

Romaine and Cartright make plea to state DOT BY RiTA J. EGAN RiTA@TBRNEwSPAPERS.com Local legislators are doing their part to create a safer Route 25A for Stony Brook pedestrians. At a July 25 press conference held at the Stony Brook Long Island Rail Road station, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) made a formal plea to the New York State Department of Transportation to install sidewalks along Route 25A, a state roadway, from the train station heading west to Stony Brook Village’s Main Street. Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and representatives from the Ward Melville Heritage Organization, Three Village Civic Association, Three Village Chamber of Commerce and Stony Brook Concerned Homeowners joined Romaine and Cartright to show their support. “We are blessed to have the largest state university in the state of New York here,” Romaine said. “It provides jobs, it provides culture, it provides academics, but it also provides a lot of kids who are looking to do something off campus. We don’t have a problem with that but we do have a problem with the safety of this road.” The supervisor said there are sidewalks to the east and west of the station but they stop approximately 500 to 1,000 feet from the location. He said pedestrians are forced to walk on the roadway, and through the years, there have been three injuries and one pedestrian death along Route 25A. While the town has reached out to the state DOT in the past, they have been told that the funds are not in the budget and the installation of sidewalks in the area is not a priority. “The state DOT has done a number of great projects throughout Long Island,” Romaine said. “We’re asking them to do one more project that may be expensive but

would greatly improve pedestrian safety.” Cartright said Brookhaven Town is completing a corridor study of Route 25A from Smithtown to Poquott, and in the beginning of the year, she attended community visioning meetings. “Time and time again I hear from our constituents that walkers, students and residents are fearing for their safety in this particular section of 25A,” Cartright said. “Given these safety concerns, the accidents, the fatality that was mentioned, we ask that the DOT prioritize doing work, providing sidewalks in this particular area.” Gloria Rocchio, president of WMHO, and Bruce Sander, co-founder of Stony Brook Concerned Homeowners, both described issues with the roadway. Rocchio said there were problems with speeding, especially at night. Sander said many students walk in the roadway in the dark and don’t wear visible colors. Englebright estimated that installing sidewalks would cost about $5 million and supported the initiative. “If you’re a student at the university and you want to go to the namesake of your university, which is the village itself, you literally have to take your life in your hands,” he said. “This shouldn’t be.”

E. Setauket mom brings Ronstadt hits to the North Shore By Rita J. egan Rita@tBRnewspapeRs.com Carolyn Brown-Benson has discovered that even though dreams can sometimes be delayed, they can’t be ignored. The 51-year-old East Setauket resident always wanted to perform, and put that dream on hold more than 20 years ago. Now, she finds herself donning a brunette wig and transforming into pop singer Linda Ronstadt to front the tribute band Blue Bayou. Performing with the group she founded two years ago, Brown-Benson delivers the iconic hits of the singer who is known for “You’re No Good,” “It’s So Easy” and “Somewhere Out There.” The sales associate at Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook said her entertainment dreams took a detour when she married her husband James in 1996 and soon after had her two children James, now 15, and Shannon, now 18. When her son and daughter were younger she tried to return to the stage. She sang at the Performing Arts Studio in Port Jefferson and appeared in shows at Stony Brook’s Educational & Cultural Center as the iconic singer Ethel Merman, and as the legendary actress Mae West at Mount Sinai’s Heritage Center. When she landed a role with the John W. Engeman Theater at Northport’s production of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” she realized she couldn’t pursue performing full time while raising her children. “I was getting an itch [to perform], and I

While performing at local restaurants Bliss and Mario’s, Brown-Benson realized she had a knack for singing Ronstadt’s hits, and that the crowds seemed to agree. “I noticed that people would always — when I was singing “You’re No Good” or “Hurt So Bad” — especially the women, they would always turn around,” she said. “You could just see they really recognized those songs.” Brown-Benson said starting a tribute band seemed to better suit her schedule as a mother. She reached out to contacts on Facebook and assembled a band, currently Linda Cusumano, keyboards; Don Waller, guitar;

Jon Pell, bass; and Mark Pohl or Eugene Henriksen, drums. “My husband is thinking about retiring, and I’m just gearing up,” she said. “And it shows my children, too, that no matter how crazy you think your dreams are, it’s really a calling.” Denean Lane, general manager of Holiday Inn Express, has witnessed Brown-Benson, who performs at the hotel, in action. “She has a very good energy about her and just a very feel-good mood with her range of emotion,” Lane said. “She’s really fantastic.” She added that the performer’s presence at the hotel, be it in front of the microphone or at her desk, is an asset to the business.

“She’s well known throughout the community, and she’s really gifted and talented,” Lane said. In November, the local singer met Ronstadt during “A Conversation with Linda Ronstadt,” at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Long Island University. “It was surreal sitting in the audience,” she said. “All of a sudden, I’m sitting three rows from her and I’m going to meet her.” Brown-Benson forgot everything she was going to say to Ronstadt during their brief meeting, but was able to tell her about the tribute band. Ronstadt, who has Parkinson’s disease, said, “I really wish I could sing with you.” The local singer has future hopes to record original music and perform under her own name. For now, she hopes to at least be an inspiration to those thinking of chasing their dreams. “You can feel what direction you should be going — you need to listen to it,” she said. “You get up off your knees when you are sort of praying for direction, and you keep going. Every time those doors close and you think it’s the end, it’s really not. There’s something else open for you. And when you start paying attention to those signs, you’ll be amazed at what comes along.” Blue Bayou will hit the stage Aug. 1 at 6 p.m. at JFK Middle School in Port Jefferson Station, as part of the Port Jefferson StationTerryville Summer Concert Series.

Ward Melville alumni a hit at Stony Brook Film Festival By Jenna Lennon Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the number one genetic killer of boys in the world. In “To the Edge of the Sky,” Emmy and Oscar Award winning producers, and Old Field natives, Jedd and Todd Wider tell the story of four mothers in their fight against the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the approval of a potentially life-saving drug for this fatal disease. The world premiere of the 118-minute documentary at the 22nd annual Stony Brook Film Festival was met with a standing ovation July 23. Continued feedback from the audience, during and after the Q&A period, has been nothing but positive for the brothers and for raising awareness for treatment of this disease. “As a documentarian, there’s no greater re-

ward than hearing audience members come up afterwards and ask how we can help, what we can do, how can we bring further attention or shine further light on these issues and help the families that are suffering so deeply,” Jedd said. “We spoke to so many people after the film who wanted to get involved and that’s incredibly rewarding to us as filmmakers,” he continued. “We invest years of our lives into these topics to help bring attention to these issues to help these families and for us there’s just nothing greater than that, than hearing that response.” With such a large audience, Todd couldn’t help but be emotional as he took the stage with his brother for the Q&A session. “It was a weird thing — I’m not normally that emotional during a screening,” he said. “I got to say it …. was a little surreal. It’s not like I hadn’t seen it before. I’ve probably watched it about a thousand times now, but I found that screening was extremely, unbelievably, emotionally powerful.” Jenn McNary, one of the mothers in the film, brought her sons Max and Austin to the July 23 premiere. “Jenn and her family have been incredibly supportive of the film from the very beginning, as has all of the other families as well,” Jedd said. “They’ve all been strongly behind the film and hoping that this film could bring more attention to these issues and bring more attention to the potential companies out there and the foundations that are working to help fund further research.” Filming took place periodically over almost

photos from Brian ariotti

Jenn mcnary and her children, above, are featured in the movie ‘to the edge of the sky’ produced by Jedd and todd wider, left, brothers who grew up in old Field. four years and “was a significant emotional investment,” Jedd said. “At any given point, the story line would change on the drop of a dime,” he continued. “We became very attached to these boys and very attached to these families.” Duchenne is the most common type of muscular dystrophy and occurs from a mutation in the gene for the protein dystrophin. Symptoms begin appearing around the age of three or four. At first, young boys start having trouble walking. By their early 20s, they’re essentially paralyzed from the neck down. “To the Edge of the Sky” examines the fight for FDA approval of the drug eteplirsen, produced by Sarepta Therapeutics, that is meant to help produce the missing protein. In 2016,

and at the end of the film, the FDA granted an accelerated approval for the drug, but Todd said the fight is far from over. “We live in the United States of America where we’re in a functioning democracy, and we can move our political organizations and our political institutions with the power of our will if we choose to,” Todd said. “And in the case of this situation, it was really these four moms that really moved the needle, we feel, on how the FDA was sort of dealing with this … it was the power of their advocacy and the connection and their love for their kids that helped to sort of focus that attention on what was going on in terms of the drug approval process in this particular case.”

HISTORY CLOSE AT HAND Connecting Selah Strong to the Culper Spy Ring BY BEVERLY C. TYLER First in a two-part series. May 1, 1790, Selah Strong of Setauket shared his Patriot views with Robert Heaton of London. “Almost every one is partial in favour of their own government, and perhaps you will charge me with being prejudiced in favour of ours, but it is my opinion, that this government is much better calculated for the enjoyment of our Civil Rights, than the Constitution of Great Britain.” Strong was born Dec. 25, 1737, in a house built by his father Thomas at Mount Misery, now Belle Terre, Long Island. His mother Susannah was the daughter of Samuel Thompson, a family connection that extended from the community of Setauket to the Town of Brookhaven where Jonathan Thompson and his sons Samuel and Isaac, and Selah Strong served as town trustees before and after the Revolutionary War. Strong was elected a trustee of the Town of Brookhaven each year from 1767 to 1777, and as a representative to the first Provincial Congress of New York in 1775. Samuel and Susannah Thompson’s son Jonathan and his son Dr. Samuel Thompson served in Long Island militia companies in 1775, and most likely as captains in the Continental Army in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War, as they were refugees to Connecticut following the British occupation of Long Island in August 1776. Strong was a captain in Colonel Josiah Smith’s regiment in 1775 and Captain of the Brookhaven minutemen in 1776. A refugee as well, Strong also most likely served as a captain in the Continen-

Jonathan Thompson was married to Mary Woodhull, Revolutionary war spy Abraham Woodhull’s aunt. To add more intrigue to the extended family lines, Jonathan Thompson’s second son Isaac, who lived in what is now Sagtikos Manor in Bay Shore, remained on Long Island during the war and is believed to have been a spy for the Culper Spy Ring in Setauket. President George Washington spent the second night of his Long Island trip in 1790, at “the home of Squire Thompson,” to thank the spies who had provided much needed intelligence during the war. In 1760, Strong married Anna Smith, great-granddaughter of the Lord of the Manor William “Tangier” Smith. The

Smith homestead was on Little Neck, now Strong’s Neck, in Setauket. After the British took control of Long Island in 1776, many Long Island patriots became refugees in Connecticut. The couple remained on Long Island with their five children, probably at Strong’s family home at Mount Misery. Strong was still a town trustee. However, in the election of 1777 he and Jonathan Thompson were replaced by more Loyalist-leaning Brookhaven Town residents. In January of 1778, Strong was arrested and imprisoned in a sugarhouse prison in Manhattan “for surreptitious correspondence with the enemy.” Strong’s position as a Patriot captain and outspoken town leader probably made it easy for

someone, possibly a Loyalist Brookhaven town trustee, to suggest that Strong might be a person of interest to the British authorities. At some point his wife Anna, known to her family and friends as “Nancy,” obtained his release by appealing to her Loyalist relative in Manhattan. Strong did not then return to his home on Long Island but became a refugee in Connecticut and probably a great help to the soon to be developed Culper Spy Ring in Setauket. It is easy to connect Strong with the Culper Spy Ring as one of the known spies was Nathaniel Ruggles. Ruggles was placed as a spy at Old Man’s (Mt. Sinai) by Benjamin Tallmadge, General Washington’s chief of intelligence. Long Island Historian Kate Wheeler Strong, great-great-granddaughter of Anna Smith Strong, wrote the following article in her 1941 “True Tales,” published by the Long Island Forum. “It is evident that my great-great-grandfather (Selah Strong) must have helped Nathaniel Ruggles, one of Washington’s Spies. This is shown by an abstract from a will of Ruggles dated 1793, left in my great-greatgrandfather’s keeping. In appointing him one of his executors Ruggles wrote: ‘I appoint my worthy patron Selah Strong Esq. Late judge of the COUNTY of Suffolk who hath snatched me from the jaws of my adversaries and befriended me in every difficulty as far as was consistant with his duty as an honest man.’” Beverly Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket.

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

Clockwise from above, fencing coach Jeff salmon receives the first Usa Fencing High school Coach of the year award from former Penn state University head coach emmanuil Kaidanov; salmon teaches his daughter Olivia out on the strip; salmon with acclaimed protégé Danny solomon after he won the Konin Cadet World Cup in Poland last year. fencing team during two national championship seasons before he brought his expertise to Ward Melville by starting a fencing club in 1995. In 1999, by popular demand, the club became a varsity team. His athletes are consistently among the top on Long Island, and his team has won 13 league, county and Long Island titles. Salmon has won Suffolk County Coach of the Year honors seven times and USA Fencing Long Island High School Coach of the Year three times, but this is his first national achievement, one that many said they thought was long overdue. “I know he is one of the best coaches in the country, so it is a no-brainer to choose him,” rising Ward Melville senior Danny Solomon said. “I wasn’t surprised because I know never to be surprised by what he does. His vast pool of knowledge and understanding of the sport and his nature of innovation is everything you need in a coach.” Solomon, who is a county champion, has also won four national championships, including at this year’s Junior Olympics, one international competition and many national and international medals. He is a two-time USA Fencing cadet team member and has gone to the cadet world championships twice. He credits all of his success to his, at times, intimidating coach. “I was terrified of him,” he joked. “Imagine being a seventh-grader seeing this huge, scary, bald guy flailing swords around. It would scare anyone.”

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

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

Letters to the editor

Port Jeff village trustee on 4th of July parade I’d like to comment on a photo spread that appeared in the July 6 issues of The Port Times Record and The Village Times Herald. I was marching in the parade on the Fourth of July and as we were approaching the bottom of the hill on Main Street I determined that I could get a particularly attractive picture of Village Mayor Margot Garant and Barbara Sakovich, assistant to the mayor, sitting on the back deck of their convertible; this against the backdrop of a giant American flag spanning Main Street. I texted this picture to Margot. This took very little time but a photographer snapped a

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

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

picture of me texting and it appeared in the paper. The picture made me look particularly disinterested and off-task during the celebration. This was not the case. Being a veteran, I take the Fourth of July and other patriotic holidays very seriously and understand the cost America has paid over the centuries to secure and keep our freedom. I was in a high state of dress with appropriate red, white and blue colors. I am an elected official and my image is important to me. Thank you for your understanding.

Bruce Miller Port Jefferson Village Trustee Port Jefferson Village Bruce Miller during the annual Board of Trustees July 4 parade.

Party over, country As a citizen who loves my country, I am alarmed at President Trump’s flagrant violations of democratic norms. Between his financial conflicts of interest, his firing of FBI Director James Comey, his inclusion of family members in high level positions, his hampering of press briefings, the connections of his administration to dubious Russian government officials, and his vulgar use of Twitter, this president is behaving in a manner that is not befitting of the highest office in the land. Even more concerning to me

is the inaction of congressional Republicans in the face of these breaches of the American trust. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan, and the entire Republican party, in their silence, are complicit. They have chosen to further their agenda, which includes the destruction of environmental and consumer protections. They intend to have health care regress to the days of pre-existing conditions and lifetime caps to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, while destroying Medicaid, which

serves our poorest citizens. Our Constitution was built to be tested. Unfortunately, in this trying moment in our democracy, the legislative branch under the leadership of congressional Republicans is falling short in its duty to be a check and balance on the abuse of power in the executive branch. The party of Abraham Lincoln must act, and quickly, in the interest of the people they have sworn an oath to serve. They must speak up, and put their country over their party.

Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

A string of alliterative insults Michael Meltzer in The Village Times Herald, July 20, 2017 Letters to the Editor (Stop the rioting and subterfuge) must have chortled and hugged himself as he composed his string of alliterative insults — “cavalcade of communists,” “coterie of cretins” and “scions of Soros” — and Tea Party myths. Because protesters can’t have minds of their own, but must be hired by Soros: this canard was also floated after a million showed up at the Washington Women’s March. Only his Tea Party comrades think that invective and highlyquestionable statements, strongly voiced as self-evident truths, are a substitute for rational argument. He insists that the serious but lim-

ited problem caused by handfuls of radicalized Muslims (mostly native-born or naturalized citizens of France and Belgium) who murdered several hundred French and Belgians, is somehow a threat to the very existence of the entire 300 million European population at the hands of “immigrants” (his puzzling quotes). Having floated the picture of some “masked marauders” in Germany, he tries, by repeating “rioting”, to tar American peaceful protesters with the same brush. As for his threat that “resistance can easily become a twoway affair,” I recall a town hall meeting at the Setauket Neighborhood House in 2009 with Rep. Tim Bishop, where a large

cohort, wrapping themselves (figuratively) in American flags on (real) 5-foot wooden poles gathered outside, while inside their comrades shouted down all those sympathetic to Bishop. The atmosphere was such that the police had to escort Bishop to his car past a shouting, flag-waving gauntlet. And, as far as I know, the people who show up at political meetings ostentatiously wearing sidearms or carrying assault weapons are overwhelmingly southern Republicans, not Democrats. Every sentence in Meltzer’s letter longer than six words (I counted) contains an insult and/or a false statement.

OPINION Laughter lightens the load

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

D. None of the above

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

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

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

The unfading memories of children’s accidents

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

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

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