A supercharged science celebration

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com It’s no shock that the legacy of Nikola Tesla, the man responsible for alternating current electricity, resonates so profoundly in Shoreham, given it’s where the Serbian-American inventor’s last remaining laboratory sits.

So in honor of his 161st birthday, more than 600 residents of all ages and from all over the map journeyed to the historic Shoreham site, the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, for a supercharged celebration of the prolific pioneer.

Under sunny skies Saturday, July 8, the center kicked off its Electric Dream Expo, an all-afternoon event for all things Tesla-inspired.

From interactive exhibits of 3-D printers, high school robotics and old ham radios to demonstrations of the Tesla coil and Teslaoriented augmented reality, to science-based activities for kids, the event carried a theme of technological innovation of the past, present and future.

Vibrant Tesla cars were also on display throughout the grounds with raffles for 24-hour test drives available to the public.

A Tesla impersonator, in full Victorian-era garb, walked around the premises and was photographed with attendees.

The grand event was even broadcast live to more than 50,000 people on Facebook with the help of a hovering drone.

While the center has held birthday celebrations for Tesla in the past, this one was the biggest yet and was also in acknowledgement of the 100th anniversary of the dismantling of his legendary and ahead-of-its-time wireless transmitting tower, which sat on the Shoreham property before being torn down July 4, 1917.

“It seemed important that we do something with a little more bang,” Jane Alcorn, Tesla Science Center board president said of this year’s event, the funds from which would go toward the development of the long-awaited Tesla museum and science center in the laboratory.

“It’s exhilarating and humbling. We’re just so thrilled to see so many people are interested, and incredibly humbled knowing what Tesla represents to people.”

Dozens of vendors, including Brookhaven National Lab, North Shore Public Library, Museum of Interesting Things, Custer Institute & Observatory and Long Island Radio & TV Historical Society, set up at tables as people wearing Tesla shirts and pins browsed and bonded over their shared interest in the man who paved the way for several modern gadgets like cellphones. TVs and radios.

TOWN

Homes torn down in Centereach, Middle Island Zombie home demolition part of Brookhaven’s ongoing effort

BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM Brookhaven Town Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) and Suffolk County Legislator Tom Muratore (R-Ronkonkoma) were on hand for the demolition of an abandoned house at 40 Woodland Blvd. in Centereach last month.

The house, which was vacant for nearly five years, had been vandalized and was a source of numerous resident complaints and town building code violations. It was demolished by the town in accordance with Chapter 73 of the Brookhaven Town Code, which provides a “fast track” to rid

neighborhoods of unsafe structures. The cost of demolition and debris removal is the responsibility of the property owner, and the town places a lien on the property that is then placed on the tax bill. The county reimburses the town and then Suffolk County collects the money from the property owner.

“This is a street with well-kept homes and it’s a shame that the owner of this property just let it deteriorate to the point where we had to take action to demolish it” LaValle said. “Thanks to our law and waste management departments, we’ve made this neighborhood a better place to live and I will continue to do everything I can to remove zombie houses throughout the community.”

This week, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) and Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Ridge) were at 48 Avon Lane in Middle Island as the Town demolished a blighted property. The house, which was vacant for nearly eight years, had become a home to squatters and it sustained some fire damage.

“This house has been a dangerous eyesore in the neighborhood for too long,” Loguercio said, “driving down property values and threatening the quality of life in the neighborhood.”

The house was also the source of resi-

The property was cleared of all debris and will be graded by the Town.

“This is a very nice neighborhood where

people take pride in their homes and it’s a shame that a house like this was left here to deteriorate,” Bonner said. “I commend our Law Department for cracking down on negligent property owners.”

Town Brookhaven seeking $20M grant in state competition

By ALex PetrosKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com Brookhaven Town is looking to get by with a little help from its friends.

The town is among six other New York State municipalities vying to be selected as the recipient of a $20 million grant that will be awarded in the fall to the applicant that Page A22 demonstrates the most innovative ways to reduce property taxes through the consolidation of shared government services and increased efficiency. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced the Municipal Consolidation and Efficiency Competition in November as a way to inspire local governments to reduce the cost of living for residents in the state. Each of the nine incorporated villages within Brookhaven passed resolutions identifying the areas in which a consolidation of services makes sense, and officially pledged partnership with the town in pursuing the projects, which would be funded by the $20 million grant. In addition to the nine villages, leadership from ambulance, school, fire and library districts, as well as special districts like sewer and erosion, were consulted and will remain involved in brainstorming ways to make shared services more efficient and cost effective going forward.

“Property taxes remain the most burdensome tax in New York and with this competition, we are incentivizing local governments to band together to think outside the box, streamline their bureaucracies, cut costs and

Editorial comment

deliver real relief to their taxpayers,” Cuomo said in November. “New York has no future as the high tax capital of the world and by encouraging innovation, we are taking one more step toward a stronger, more affordable Empire State for all.”

Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) explained his interest in applying for the grant during an interview at Town Hall July 7.

“The big winner in this at the end of the day, should we be successful, will be the taxpayers of the various taxing jurisdictions, because this should reduce costs and hopefully either reduce or stabilize taxes,” Romaine said.

Brookhaven’s application included 16 proposed projects that would accomplish the stated goal of the competition, according to Town Chief of Operations Matt Miner, who played a vital leadership role in applying for the grant.

“We’re doing duplicated services — why can’t one municipality do ‘that,’” Miner said.

He said some of the projects would include the consolidation of tax collection and tax assessor services; utilizing Brookhaven’s staffed maintenance workers rather than putting out bids for contracts; creating a regional salt facility to be used during snow removal; using town contracts for things like asphalt replacement, which yield a better price due to Brookhaven’s size compared to the smaller villages; and creating digital record keeping and storage.

The supervisor said in total, the projects would result in a savings of about $66 million for taxpayers, or a return of more than three times the investment made by the state in disseminating the grant dollars.

Romaine and Minor both stressed the im-

portance of allowing the towns to maintain their autonomy despite the consolidation of services. The projects will emphasize ways to eliminate unnecessary redundancies in the administration of government services while allowing incorporated villages to continue overseeing themselves. Romaine also dispelled possible concerns about loss of jobs as a result of the consolidation of services. He said he expects the phase out of antiquated departments through retirements, stating no layoffs will be required to make the consolidation projects happen.

Port Jefferson Village approved a resolution to partner with Brookhaven in pursuit of the grant during a June 26 board meeting.

The resolution stated the village’s interest in pursuing projects related to enhanced services in the highway department and department of public works; the purchasing portal; electronic records management and storage; and several others.

Village Mayor Margot Garant said during a phone interview she was on board for any initiatives that would result in savings for taxpayers, though maintaining Port Jeff’s autonomy and independence is of the utmost importance to her.

“The reason why you incorporate is so you have home rule,” Garant said, adding she has concerns about the management of a government that would in effect be growing, should the town win the competition. “The proof will be in the pudding. It’s all about who is going to manage these programs and what level of competence they have.”

The winner of the $20 million grant is

expected to be announced this fall. Representatives from the town will head to Albany next week to present their case to a panel, but for reaching Phase II of the competition, Brookhaven has already received a $50,000 grant, which was used to develop project proposals for the application.

As another aspect of the application, the town passed a resolution in June that formed the Council of Governments, a committee that will be led by the town and comprised of leaders of the various villages and districts that will meet quarterly to discuss common issues. The first meeting of its kind is slated for September.

Blood drive successes Following the emergency blood donation crisis, Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) along with Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) and Mayor Robert Scottaline (DLake Grove), hosted a blood drive at the Lake Grove Recreation Center in Lake Grove.

The partnership has had success. The Lake Grove blood drive alone saw 37 residents donate. Another was held in Commack. After collecting 427 pints last year, Kennedy hopes to top that as her blood drive series continues.

“It’s always important to donate blood, and I am happy to see that so many in the

community are willing to put the needs of others ahead of their own,” the legislator said.

“I urge anyone who can to come down to our future blood drives.”

Every day, the New York Blood Center collects up to 2,000 units of blood for hospitals in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. All donors receive a free pair of Mets tickets. The Mets have been longtime supporters of the New York Blood Center.

For more information about this event or other events in the community, call Kennedy’s office at 631-854-3735 or go online to visit Kennedy’s Facebook page at facebook. com/legislatorlesliekennedy.

At the June 20 general meeting of the Legislature, Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) honored Ridge Civic Association President Lee Brooks for her dedication and service to the community.

“Lee is a treasured resident of Ridge,” Anker said. “As the president of the Ridge Civic Association, Lee has advocated for the safety and quality of life for all residents. I would like to thank Lee for her dedication and contributions to the Ridge community and to the residents of Suffolk County.”

Brooks played a pivotal role in advocating for the demolition of the Ridge Motel East, which was an eyesore and a public safety threat.

The civic association president also spearheaded the cleanup and installation of new sprinklers at the Ridge Community Park off Middle Country Road and Village Drive and works to help maintain the Ridge Veterans Memorial.

Besides being involved in Ridge, Brooks is continuously involved in the Longwood Central School District and founded the Longwood Booster Club for the Longwood Robotics Club.

Suffolk legislator proposes app to combat drug addiction By victoria espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The fight against substance abuse among young people on the North Shore and around Suffolk County is set to enter the 21st century.

Suffolk County Legislator and Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) launched efforts for the county to develop a smartphone application at the June 20 legislative meeting that will provide users with quick and easy access to drug addiction services. It will also provide information on how to recognize and prevent opioid overdoses for families who are struggling with how to protect their loved ones.

“This mobile app will literally put lifesaving information directly into the hands of those who need it most,” Gregory said at a press conference in Hauppauge last week.

“There is a desperate need for instant access to addiction resources. Just a few weeks ago, 22 people over a two-day span overdosed on opioids in Suffolk. There are so many valuable resources and programs in our county, and we must do all we can to make it easier for those battling substance abuse to reach out for help.”

The app will provide locations of nearby hospitals and treatment centers, links to organizations and support hotlines and information on training to administer Narcan, an overdose reversal medication.

Gregory said he believes the app will be a worthwhile endeavor given the recent launch of New York City’s mobile app, Stop OD NYC, which provides overdose preven-

the suffolk county Legislature wants to help curb drug use by developing an app for cellphones that will provide access to drug addiction services. tion education and connects individuals with local programs. According to his office, Suffolk officials are considering modeling Suffolk’s own app after the city’s version and have been in touch with city health officials as they look to develop the proposal request.

Suffolk County Health Commissioner James Tomarken said the addition of the

app is another powerful weapon to use in the ongoing battle against drug addiction.

“Substance abuse affects everyone in the community,” he said at the event. “An application that consolidates information that can be accessed from anywhere on a mobile device offers one more tool in our toolkit for dealing with this public health crisis.”

Suffolk County Community Mental Hygiene Services Director Ann Marie Csorny agreed, saying this idea makes the most sense for the younger generation.

“Today’s youth have come to rely heavily on their smartphones, so putting substance abuse information into a format that is easily accessible to them makes sense,” she said.

Suffolk County is no stranger to the nation’s growing opioid problem. In 2014 Suffolk had the highest number of overdose deaths involving heroin of all New York counties and had the most overdose deaths where prescription opioids were a factor, according to a 2016 New York State Comptroller’s report.

Donna DiBiase, founder and executive director of A2R Magazine, a publication related to journeys in addiction and recovery said branching out to new platforms like cellphones are crucial to winning the fight.

“A mobile app of this nature could be a vital resource at a time when we are losing our next generation to this epidemic,” she said in a statement. “There isn’t a person that I meet who doesn’t know someone — a neighbor, a family member, a friend — who has been touched by this disease.

Empowerment and education is so important, and we need to continue to find ways to get information to those who are struggling with addiction, whether it be through an app, a hotline or a magazine.”

The resolution was filed by Gregory at the June 20 meeting and will go before the Health Committee July 20.

SCPD canines become the newest members of the force By victoria espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The Suffolk County Police Department welcomed seven new four-legged members to its team last month. Seven Europeanbred German Shepherds became a part of the canine section.

Champ, with handler Matthew DeWitt; Chief, with handler Christopher Fezza; Brick, with handler Shawn Petersen; Kaos, with handler Keith Menotti; Wolf, with handler Kevin Krause; Axel, with handler Ryan Neems; and Milo, with handler Ed Gomez demonstrated training techniques learned during the first several months of training.

The dogs were born in 2015 and 2016 and will finish patrol training and then go on the road for some real-life experience before receiving training in specialized techniques including sniffing out explosives, drugs and human remains.

Petersen’s dog, Brick, is named after retired 3rd Precinct Officer Tara Brick who died from breast cancer in June 2013 shortly after she retired.

“It’s a very exciting moment for the Suffolk County PD because not only are we introducing these new canines but we now are at full strength in terms of our canine

division for the first time in several years,” Police Commissioner Tim Sini said at the press event.

North Shore group calls for youth opioid education

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com As heroin and opioid-related deaths continue to ravage Suffolk County and devastate families, those personally affected are rallying the masses to help them stop the growing drug problem from getting its grip on another generation of young people.

Residents holding pictures and wearing shirts covered in the names of loved ones who died from heroin, opioid and fentanyl overdoses stood together July 6 as Gary Pollakusky, president of the nonpartisan North Shore Community Association, announced the launch of a series of drug education and awareness-based community forums to be held at local school districts — starting Thursday, July 13 at Rocky Point Middle School.

Pollakusky is running for the seat of county Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), and has been backed by the Suffolk County Republican Party.

The group, which was formed in 2013 to ensure transparency and advocate for local areas like Mount Sinai, Miller Place and Rocky Point, has kickstarted the forums alongside advocacy organizations HUGS, Inc. and Thomas’ Hope Foundation, individuals in recovery and fami-

lies and first responders who have witnessed the worsening problem firsthand. Collectively, all involved plan to lay a foundation for bigger and better drug awareness curriculums and assembly programs to be implemented in elementary, middle and high schools.

The mission is to prevent as many firsttime users as possible by emphasizing the consequences of drugs to young kids while pushing legislators to support stronger enforcement initiatives and treatment options.

“The families who have lost loved ones and those who are dealing with the results of this epidemic are outraged at our county government’s lack of action and responsiveness, and are looking to our community to come together to push for more drug awareness education and enforcement … now,” Pollakusky said to a crowd of local residents and first responders at Veterans Memorial Square in Rocky Point.

Tracey Farrell, a Rocky Point resident and president of the nonprofits North Shore Drug Awareness and On Kevin’s Wings, knows both sides of the plague, as her son Kevin died of an overdose in 2012, and her daughter Breanna is currently three years in recovery.

“We have organized this forum so that children and families can get more information on how to overcome this scourge and not feel alone in the battle,” she said. “It is imperative that our educational system consistently works to inform. … We are looking to support our community by having all of the community rise up and deal with this situation head-on.”

She said that while far too many lose their lives to these drugs, there’s hope for those that are still struggling and those who have yet to try anything. She has seen many overcome addiction through her nonprofit On Kevin’s Wings, which helps raise funds for those who can’t afford to get into, or get transportation to rehabilitation centers.

“It’s gotten so much worse, and now more than ever I need for people to use their voices because collectively we can make a difference,” Farrell said. “We need to shout from the rooftops that we need to look out for the next generation of kids. No one right now is willing to step up and we need that to change.”

Clockwise from above, children look through a Nikola Tesla-inspired gadget; kids learn about science; a man shows off an invention; and Kyle Driebeek plays the theremin while Tesla’s grandnephew William Terbo looks on at the Electric Dream Expo in Shoreham.

STRESS, HORMONES & HEALTH

“Tesla is a great unifier and it’s awesome to see him opening a lot of doors for people of all types,” he said.

Several speakers took to the podium in front of the historic brick building where Tesla built his laboratory in 1901 with the help of renowned architect Stanford White.

William Terbo, Tesla’s grandnephew, was also in attendance, recounting memories of his great-uncle.

With Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) alongside, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) presented Alcorn and Marc Alessi, executive director, with a proclamation for their work in keeping Tesla’s legacy alive. “Long live Tesla, long live ideas, long live science,” Romaine said.

At the end of the ceremony, young Kyle Driebeek, of Connecticut, performed “America the Beautiful” and “Happy Birthday” on the theremin, a Russian electronic instrument played without physical contact. Tesladecorated birthday cake was also served.

Rock Brynner, professor, author and son of famous actor Yul, read Tesla-related excerpts from his book about the New York Power Authority’s origins and expressed his joy in seeing so many people in attendance.

“I expected to see maybe three kids and a sullen nanny, and instead there’s this enormously enthusiastic crowd … it’s wonderful,” Brynner said. “In the 1930s, a journalist asked Albert Einstein what it was like to be the most brilliant genius in the world and Einstein replied, ‘I don’t know, you’ll have to ask Nikola Tesla.’ I urge all of you to learn more about Tesla. His story is enthralling and tragic, beautiful and terribly moving.”

“He’s the father of just about everything we use … the hero of modern science,” Manorville resident and longtime Tesla researcher Axel Wicks said.

Rachel Zyats, of Rocky Point, said she was excited that Tesla was finally getting the credit he deserved, as somebody who was greatly overshadowed by rival Thomas Edison “Tesla was the real inventor,” Zyats said. “I think it’s great that more people are starting to learn about [him].”

Lynbrook mother Leeanne Chiulli and her 11-year-old daughter Kate, wearing a Tshirt with the slogan, “Never underestimate a woman who loves Nikola Tesla,” said the creator is their idol. James Angell, a retired engineer from Commack, pointed to Tesla as a hero in the field of science.

“Tesla is one of the greatest geniuses in the last 100 years in engineering and electrical theory,” Angell said, noting his early development of quantum mechanics. “One hundred years before anyone started talking about it today, Tesla was talking about it. [He] had a concept years and years before anyone thought of it. [So] it’s very encouraging to see so many people who now have an interest in Tesla and his inventions.”

Standing at one of the booths was Joseph Sikorski, a Babylon-based filmmaker who made a documentary entitled “Tower to the People” about the history of Wardenclyffe and Tesla’s accomplishments there.

TOWN Miller Place kid is selling comics for a cause

BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM With a little help from some super friends, a local boy wonder is on a mission to save the oldest standing house in Miller Place.

For most 12-year-olds, summer vacation means sleeping in, goofing off and avoiding responsibility at all costs.

But for Jack Soldano, a North Country Road Middle School student and self-professed “lover of geeky things,” it’s been spent organizing and pricing hundreds upon hundreds of old comic books and making pins, magnets and bottle openers out of the collection’s vibrant panels, sometimes from 8 in the morning until 11 p.m.

Although Jack has a passion for the medium — he dresses up every year as his favorite superheroes at New York Comic Con meeting place for the nonprofit organizaand even wrote a letter to Marvel Comics tion, needs between $18,000 and $28,000 when he was 6 years old detailing why the to renovate its collapsing roof and a total company should hire him — he isn’t doing $100,000 for a full-house repair, including window replacements. this for himself.

Jack Soldano, above and below left, wanted to help the Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society repair the roof of the William Miller House, so he’s selling some of his collection of comic books, on left, and handmade pins, below right, at Mount Sinai’s Heritage Park yard sale this month and next. He was turned into his very own comic for the flyer, below. lection to raise as much money as possible for the restoration project.

His grandfather simply said, “Okay,” and started donating bins of issues.

“I remember when I was younger in Miller Place, going to the Spooky Lantern Tour and Postman Pete, and having much fun, and I want the younger kids to be able to experience that too,” Jack said, adding with a smile that he won’t be giving away every comic. “I’ve kept some comics for myself, of course, because why not, but I wanted to sell the leftovers to a worthy cause and what’s more worthy than one in your own backyard?”

Jack’s mother, Cristin Mansfield, said she and her husband are proud of their son for coming up with the idea himself.

“He’s not using the proceeds for him-

self,” Mansfield said. “He’s sitting there and immersing himself in this thing that he loves, reading the comics, finding funny speech bubbles. We’re super proud.”

Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society Vice President Antoinette Donato said the society is extremely grateful.

“We are so inspired that someone so young has such an interest, and that nobody planted the seed — it all came from him,” Donato said. “I think it’s everybody’s responsibility to keep history alive, so when somebody like Jack comes along who obviously has an interest and is genuine, it’s very reassuring for us and gives us hope.”

Residents can buy comic books every Thursday between 5 and 8 p.m., through Aug. 24, at the Mount Sinai Heritage Park, located at 633 Mount Sinai-Coram Road.

Zeldin votes to punish New York

Photo from Town of Brookhaven

Representatives from villages within the Town of Brookhaven meet at Town Hall to discuss consolidating services.

Brookhaven leading the way in streamlining government The Town of Brookhaven is in the midst of a massive project with a stated goal of reducing property taxes for residents. The town, thanks to the hard work of Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Chief of Operations Matt Miner, is one of six finalists vying for a $20 million grant from New York State, which will be awarded to the municipality that displays the greatest aptitude for instituting innovative ways to make it less expensive to live in the particular jurisdiction.

Brookhaven is the lone town of the finalists, along with five counties from upstate.

According to Romaine, the 16 projects Brookhaven submitted as part of its application would yield a $3.20 to $1 return on investment, meaning the $20 million from the state would result in $66 million in savings for town taxpayers.

We commend Romaine, Miner, the rest of the town and leaders from the various villages and districts in Brookhaven who all came together to brainstorm ways to streamline government and reduce costs. We are optimistic about many of the town’s proposed projects that would be implemented if Brookhaven were selected and the potential impact it could have in making government more efficient and less expensive. It would seem common sense played a key role in the selection of the 16 projects, which is also a welcome sign to see from elected officials.

Some of the proposed projects include a town tax collector and tax assessor, relieving the burden for each from the town’s incorporated villages; a centralized, regional salt facility for snow removal; as well as several technological improvements and shared contracts for various services, which are provided at a lower cost for the town than what it would cost a village to contract out, like plumbing work.

Another component of applying for the grant was that Brookhaven established a Council of Governments, which will feature quarterly meetings of leaders from the town, villages and fire, school, sewer, erosion and library districts.

We think an open line of communication between the leaders from various levels of government across the town can only be an overwhelming positive for the people who live here. We wish Brookhaven good luck in its competition and hope other neighboring towns take the lead from them in finding innovative ways to reduce the cost of living across Long Island.

On June 29 Rep. Lee Zeldin voted for H.R. 3003, a bill that if it becomes law would severely handicap police anti-terrorism programs in New York City.

Based on the false premise that undocumented immigrants pose a threat to public safety, this bill threatens and punishes cities and states that fail to do the bidding of the federal government in rounding up immigrants.

Studies by both the left-leaning group The Sentencing Project and the right-leaning group the Cato Institute arrive at the same conclusion: Immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, “are less likely to be incarcerated than natives relative to their shares of the population.”

H.R. 3003 will cripple the “community trust” policing policies of over 600 states and localities that allow immigrant victims and witnesses to report offenses such as gang or domestic violence to local authorities without fear of immigration consequences. That’s why this bill was opposed by the National Fraternal Order of

Police, the Major County Sheriffs of America, the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National Association of Counties.

To punish localities that do not comply by eliminating community trust policing, H.R. 3003 takes away Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security grants available to such localities both to fight crime and to fight terrorism. That’s the reason Rep. Peter King, Republican from Long Island, voted “No” on this bill, unlike Rep. Zeldin. In a press statement King declared the bill “disembowels the anti-terror apparatus in the world’s top terror target [New York City].” He further stated that the bill takes things “to a dangerous extreme by making New York City ineligible for hundreds of millions of dollars every year that go toward thwarting terror attacks. These dollars have no connection to immigration whatsoever, except for the fact that the NYPD hunts down terror threats and also sometimes arrests illegal aliens.”

As for the constitutionality

of this bill, it violates both the Fourth and the Tenth Amendments. Don’t take my word for it. The Cato Institute states that H.R. 3003 “removes the authority of state or local police departments or state or local legislatures to determine how their law enforcement resources are used.

This violates a basic principle of federalism, which many conservatives have long championed, that the federal government should leave states to experiment with their own policies.” It questioned “whether Republican members of Congress would still support this legislation if they could imagine Democrats applying this same principle to federal gun laws in the future.”

By voting for this extreme, unconstitutional, and dangerous bill, Rep. Zeldin does harm to all residents of the New York metropolitan area by enabling the de-funding of vital anti-terrorism and anti-crime programs.

Praying the LGBT+ community repents Now that you’ve written your politically correct editorial championing the rights — actually preferential treatment — of the “LGBT+” (will the pluses ever end?) community in your July 6 editorial “Love is love,” how about printing one for civility, tolerance, protection, support and religious liberty for the most persecuted community worldwide, including in America? Those who love Jesus and believe the Bible is God’s Word, and accept what both teach, including about God’s plan for

sex (His invention), corresponds to the self-preserving policy of most world civilizations, especially Western civilization, and the self-evident truth through all of American history until five in black robes recently jettisoned our nation’s foundation for liberty, i.e., “the laws of nature and nature’s God” (see the Declaration of Independence).

I do not commend U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) or anyone else for walking in the New York City Pride March, but in Christian love and concern (not hate), I

commend to them God’s Word in Isaiah 3:9 (NIV): “The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them!

They have brought disaster upon themselves.”

I pray that all of us will avail ourselves of the mercy God offers to all mankind in Christ to all who repent and believe before the Day of Judgment.

An open letter to SBU dean Sacha Kopp I am Naomi Solo, and my husband Richard, joined the Stony Brook University faculty in 1962.

He died just over a year ago.

I have continued my association with the university by being an ardent fan of its sports, cultural and academic programs.

It is with great chagrin that I see you have felt it necessary to do away with a critical part of our university at a time when it is needed most with the suspension

of a few programs. In difficult times, it is the voice of contemporary theater that speaks clearly and loudly to an audience who needs to hear voices of reason.

How very much I remember the political theater of the 1960s and ’70s at Stony Brook when we had plays that spoke to the issues and fostered great discussion. It is that time again and to silence this voice is a serious fault.

We have come to a time when

the almighty dollar is what we think about and the university has already made some very negative moves. To abandon critical intellectual thought at this time is a grave error. I urge you to reconsider such a negative move and think more seriously about academic thought rather than just money.

OpiniOn Feeling the pain in the Washington ‘rain’ blame game

W

hat would happen if it rained on our intransigent politicians in Washington?

Well, for starters, the Democrats would all vote “no.” They’re voting “no” on everything anyway, so the rain probably wouldn’t affect them.

While some Republicans like Sen. John McCain would immediately acknowledge the rain, others would call it a nonstory. When the GOP couldn’t

By Daniel Dunaief discount the reality that people were getting wet, they would decide it was President Obama’s fault because he didn’t stop the rains when he had a chance. The Republicans would find some regulation, which they suggested Obama enacted, that allowed or encouraged the rain, and would immediately

D. None of the above

set about doing the important work of undoing that regulation.

Sure, Obama knew about rain in Washington when he was president, but he didn’t enact a single policy or procedure that could have prevented the wet stuff from ruining barbecues and costing people money. He ignored an important proposal many years ago to put a retractable dome over Washington that would have created jobs and saved people from getting wet.

The New York Times would blame President Trump, his administration, his family and the Russians, especially President Putin, because all are at fault for everything. They probably planned during their meetings last year to distract everyone from their collusion to cause it to rain just when everyone was getting ready for a picnic. The Times would find some damning email in which someone joked about the rain, or in which the word “rain” might have been a code word, and would remind everyone that rain is synonymous with “pain,” which the paper is feeling from this new administration.

Competing polls would begin as soon as the first drops fell. One poll, which the current administration and Republicans would ignore and discredit, would suggest that even Trump voters are frustrated by the rain and feel that Trump promised them it would never rain again, except at night when they were sleeping. They would be upset that the billionaire Man of the People didn’t protect them when they wanted to attend their daughter’s softball game or when they wanted to go on a company picnic to a site that had previously been off-limits during the Obama administration because it was a protected area where young birds and fish were breeding.

At the same time, another poll that the Democrats would ignore would indicate that Trump voters were thrilled that they didn’t have to spend money watering lawns that, thanks to the new and limited Environmental Protection Agency, they could spray with a wide range of cheaper, job-creating pesticides that may or may not harm some people and a few turtles. This poll would suggest

that these voters would be thrilled if the rain continued strategically through 2020, when they would be even happier to vote again for Trump.

Trump might tweet about how sad the rain was for Democrats and might suggest that it would be raining even harder if Hillary Clinton was president. Trump might engage in a twitter war with Chelsea Clinton or Rosie O’Donnell.

CNN would cover the twitter war extensively and would then claim that the entire discussion was a distraction from the real issues, which they would cover in a small box in the corner of their webpage.

Stocks would continue to rise as investors bet that people would need to spend more money on umbrellas in the short term, and on new food for other picnics some time in the near future when the rain stopped.

When the skies cleared, everyone would take credit before heading to the beach, unless they lived in New Jersey and were thwarted by an unpopular governor.

Our first picture show, with gratitude

he saying, “It takes a village,” certainly applies to us here on the North Shore of Long Island.

Elsewhere in today’s newspaper, you can read the article about our making a full-length historical movie (page B11).

It was a fantastic adventure and something of a wild ride. From the first rushes, before color and sound correction with the addition of music, the final product looks really good.

The film, “One Life to Give,” delves into the relationship

So much of history seems to pivot on a single turning point or a particular

event, and the Revolutionary War is no exception. Because of these two men, George Washington embedded his spies behind the enemy lines and the outcome of the war took a decided turn for the better.

Speaking of turns, many of you probably watched the TURN series on AMC, about the Setauket spies, whose fourth and final year is showing on cable television presently. Though based on the scent of real events, those episodes are largely fiction, although they are nonetheless riveting. Our movie, made authentic through the attention and help of local historical societies, is as factual as the history that has come down to us through more than two centuries.

Which is to say, this is the real story and no less intense for being accurate.

This film can, and we trust, will be shown to children in the schools as part of the state mandate for teaching local history.

But its making would not have been possible without the help of our North Shore “village.” So many organizations, businesses and individuals teamed up to bring our local history to life.

Let me explain. There were three

parts to our filming, kind of like a trifecta. First we needed the script, which was researched and written largely by TBR’s Director of Media Productions Michael Tessler and Emerson College junior Benjamin Dunaief, with help from Port Jeff alum and Brooklyn College student Dominick Famularo. Part of that first win was to bring the script to life, for which we needed a competent crew behind the camera. These dozen hard workers were brought in by my grandson Benji, who knew their work from previous film shoots. We also needed high level equipment, some of which came with the crew and the rest we rented.

The second part was to secure the historic locations, also the actors in front of the camera. Here is where the “village” came into play. The Ward Melville Heritage Organization, SPLIA (Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities), Three Village Historical Society, Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society, Three Village Community Trust, LISEC boat builders and Benner’s Farm provided the settings and encouragement.

Then casting calls along with connections brought us the talented actors, who included among many others, Jeff Sanzel, Dave Morrissey Jr. (from New York City, soon to be an equity member), Jonathan Rabeno, David Gianopoulos (who was Agent Johnson in the 1997 movie “Air Force One”) and Hans Paul Hendrickson, who played Hale.

The third win was the unending assistance and support from individuals like the inexhaustible John Worrell, Tim Glynn, Margo Arceri, Fred Bryant, Charlie Lefkowitz, Michael Ardolino, Peter Moloney, Andy Pollen, the Connell family, Virginia Cash, the many battle re-enactors who traveled from near and far, and the contributions of Stony Brook University. Then there are the many local restaurants who helped us feed everybody on set like Setauket Gourmet deli, Setauket Village Diner, Via Pizza, Pasta Pasta and Eastern Pavilion.

There are many more to thank and we will do so in a more formal way, but this is just a spontaneous outburst of gratitude to all those who, with willing hands across the community, make our lives so rich.
