Huntington residents are painting it forward. Splashes of Hope, a nonprofit organization that provides murals for patients in medical and social service facilities, hosted a Paint Night at the Castle event at Coindre Hall in Huntington last Wednesday night that was modeled much like contemporary wine and paint nights, where guests are taught how to paint while sipping wine. But this event was different because guests were not painting on ordinary canvases. “What we are painting tonight are ceiling tiles,” founder and Executive Director Heather Buggee said at the event. “Every hospital has these removable acoustic ceiling tiles in the examination rooms. So they [the participants] are going to be painting ceiling tiles that are going to be installed in hospitals throughout Suffolk County above the examination table.” Buggee said the ceiling tiles would be installed above hospital

beds, “where a child lies down and is either being examined or treated with medical procedures.” The plan, she said, was to see them installed at various North Shore hospitals, including Huntington Hospital, St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown, Stony Brook University Hospital and Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center. “The ceiling tiles are a way of distraction for the children during the examinations,” she said. Buggee said this event was a bit more meaningful than usual paint and wine nights because, “instead of bringing your painting home, you’re donating your masterpiece for a sick child to look at.” Participants painted while drinking wine and listening to live music. “It’s a very uplifting atmosphere,” said Eileen Sleckman, one of the 15 painters that night. “It sounded like fun, and it’s such a nice opportunity to give back to the community to such a worthy cause.” This was the second Paint Night at the Castle she attended.

The first one was held on Jan. 20. Brentwood-based artist Maria Pontillo was the lead instructor and said she encouraged everyone to get as creative as possible. “This is different from a regular paint night [that Splashes of Hope hosts] because they’re not

contributing to the same scene… so they get to be creative with it,” she said. “They also get to think about what they would like to see if they needed a distraction.” The next two installments of Paint Night at the Castle are scheduled for May 25 and July 20.

Fight for $15 min wage taken to North Shore train stations Huntington LIRR stop sees protestors during rush hour By Victoria Espinoza

Protestors are no longer minding the gap when it comes to the state’s minimum wage. Protestors flocked to the Huntington Long Island Rail Road station during the evening rush hour on Monday in support of an increase in the state minimum wage. The group also hit several other North Shore train stations in areas where state

senators have not yet committed to supporting New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) proposal for a $15-per-hour minimum wage. “This state thrives when every New Yorker has the opportunity and the ability to succeed,” Cuomo said in a statement in support of his minimum wage hike from $9 per hour. “Yet the truth is that today’s minimum wage still leaves far too many people behind — unacceptably condemning them to a life of poverty even while they work full-time. This year, we are going to change that. We are going to raise the minimum wage to bring economic opportunity back to millions of hardworking New Yorkers and lead the nation in the fight for fair pay.” Members of the group Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice, organized the protests with hopes of putting pressure on North Shore lawmakers. “We’re making a splash during rush hour today to remind our state senators that the economic security of millions of New Yorkers is in their hands,” Rachel Ackoff, senior national organizer at Bend the Arc, said in an email. “Our state and country are facing an economic inequal-

ity crisis and raising the minimum wage is essential to help countless families get by and strengthen our economy.” As for why the group chose to protest at train stations, Ackoff said it is a common ground for all walks of life. “LIRR stations are the central meeting grounds of thousands of workers heading to and from their jobs each day,” she said. “We appreciated the cheers and thumbs up of the folks we encountered.” Ackoff said many New York workers who are not making the minimum wage are struggling to support families. “We’re so outraged by the fact that so

many parents in our state, who are working full times jobs on the current minimum wage, aren’t even paid enough to provide for their families’ basic needs,” she said. ““It’s time for our state leaders to take action.” She zeroed in on specific North Shore lawmakers, including state Sens. John Flanagan (R-East Northport), Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset), and Michael Venditto (R-Massapequa). Marcellino, who presides over parts of Huntington, did not return a call for a comment.

Hospital ER will be state-of-the-art

Huntington staff says new emergency department will cut down wait times, increase efficiency By Victoria Espinoza

The days of dreading the emergency room may be over come Jan. 2, 2017. Huntington Hospital is more than one year into $43 million worth of renovations for its new emergency department, which was designed to herald in shorter wait times, a separate pediatric section, an expanded trauma center and private rooms for all patients. The department is expected to open with state-of-the-art equipment and protocols. “Most of our admissions come through the ER, most of the people in the building came through the ER, so that’s your face to the community,” said Dr. Gerard X. Brogan, executive director at Huntington Hospital and professor of emergency medicine at Hofstra North Shore LIJ School of Medicine. Brogan said the current ER sees about 51,000 patients a year but was designed for 24,000. Coming in at around 31,000 square feet, this new facility promises to be bigger and better than anything Huntington residents have seen before, Brogan said. “So this will be more than twice the size of the current department,” he said.

By far the most common complaint patients visiting the ER have is the wait time. And Brogan said the new layout and protocol would help cut wait time down and expedite the process of a patient being treated. “Part of that bottleneck starts right up front. You wait to even get triaged and see a nurse,” he said. “This ER has four different triage stations, and at the time of triage there will be either a physician, a physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner there. As you’re getting triaged the workup is already starting. We’re taking blood samples, we’re deciding if you need any X-rays.” Brogan also said that by the time a patient is sent to the department to be treated, “your blood is already cooking in the lab, radiology is already coming to find you for an X-ray and a doctor is already started to direct your workup.” He said the hospital’s current ER has already put this method into effect and has cut down patients’ visit by an average of 48 minutes — about one third of their stay. “It shouldn’t be a penalty for being sick that you sit in an ER for five hours,” Brogan said. New staff protocol should also cut down wait times. This includes a new lab

testing system that has just been put into use, which brings the quickest results in the Northwell Health system, according to Brogan. BioFire Film Array, a molecular multiplex assay, allows for results to be returned within an hour rather than 24 hours. This helps patients spend less time at the hospital and allows for treatment to be administered faster if necessary. “Determining someone’s illness and beginning to treat it quickly is vital for the patient,” Dr. Gary Stone, associate chair of pathology and laboratory medicine, said in a statement. “This faster laboratory test will also help Huntington Hospital’s emergency department to diagnose, treat and release patients faster.” Another way Brogan said the ER plans to keep patients happy while they wait is through additional lounge areas. “Some tests, by their very nature, take at least 45 minutes to an hour to actually perform, so we will have a special results waiting area with comfortable recliners and floor-to-ceiling windows,” he said. “You’re not going to be sitting on a stretcher, you’ll be out in a lounge area, looking outside and seeing sunlight or watching the sunset.” The layout also aims at redoing the current entrance system, he said. There will be two entrances in the new ER, one for ambulances and one for patients and families coming in. “Now, if you’re walking your kid in with a sore throat there can be an ambulance unloading right next to you,” Brogan said. “This way, we keep the dramatic traumas which might be uncomfortable to young children around the corner.” The new department will be giving patients single rooms that measure up to 11 feet by 13 feet. “You can close your door, and you don’t have to see or hear or smell any of the other cases going on in the emergency department.” In terms of the ER, which is now 20 years old, Brogan said nothing has been decided yet as to what it will be used for. But some ideas, he said, included creating an ad-

vanced treatment center — which would help patients whose illnesses might’ve taken days to diagnose and treat before — be treated within several hours instead of being admitted to the hospital for a few days. The pediatric emergency department has already been renamed after New York Islanders Hall of Famer Clark Gillies, who committed to donating $2 million to the department through the Clark Gillies Foundation. Staff said they are still hoping to receive other donations to rename parts of the ER including the special results waiting area. Although residents won’t be able to walk through the doors for another 10 months, staff is already eager to share the space. “I think for the patients, the experience is going to be just phenomenal,” Brogan said. “You’ll have your own room, auditory and visual privacy, with all the bells and whistles, and monitors in every room outfitted for the most complex patient.”

Library budgets promise to keep costs low By Victoria Espinoza

It’s budget season for libraries across Huntington Town, and they’re looking to keep costs down. The Northport-East Northport Public Library has proposed an overall lower budget, but with a slight increase in the tax levy. The total budget is an approximate $160,000 decrease from last year’s; however, the board is proposing to collect $21,000 more in taxes than the year before. Among the reasons for this is the fact that the library had $165,000 in unrestricted fund appropriation for last year’s budget, but not this year. Compared to revenues collected last year, the library expects to collect about $181,000 less. The biggest costs for this year’s budget

include employee salaries, health insurance, books and electronic resources. Northport-East Northport 30-yearresident Margaret Hartough is running for re-election as library trustee. She is currently the head of the teen services department at the Half Hollow Hills Community Library. “The Northport-East Northport Public Library has always been a special place for me and my family,” she said in a statement. “My children spent many hours at the library, and benefited from all the great resources and wonderful programs. I believe the library is truly the heart of the community and strong libraries build strong communities.” Over at Huntington Public Library, the board of trustees has proposed a 0 percent increase for the budget; asking residents to approve the same approximate $8.8 million budget as last year. Compared to the 2015-16 budget, building renovation costs are less than half of last year’s, with a difference of about $540,000. This contributes to the 0 percent overall increase. Costs are also going down by 80 percent for printing supplies and 100 percent for bibliographic utility, which is a service that provides record keeping. Library trustee incumbent Charles Rosner is running unopposed for re-election. He first joined the board in 2011. Rosner received an MBA from Harvard Business

School and before retiring in 2002 was a CEO at Gemcoware in Hauppauge. Harborfields Public Library is following suit with Huntington and proposing a 0 percent increase for its 2016-17 budget, with a $4.8 million overall total. Most of the library’s costs mirror last year’s numbers, with the biggest difference in retirement and health insurance. Retirement costs decreased by $83,000, and health insurance costs increased by $50,000. Centerport resident David Clemens is running for a seat in the Harborfields Public Library board of trustees. He previously served as a trustee for the Huntington Historical Society and the

Greenlawn-Centerport Historical Association. Clemens is currently a trustee of the Suffolk County Historical Society and chairman of the library committee there. Finishing out the Huntington area is Cold Spring Harbor Library, with a proposed budget of about $2 million and an overall 0 percent increase. By far the biggest item on the budget is salaries for employees, which comes in at just over $1 million. According to the library’s website, highlights of the budget include supporting vital programs like free e-books and homework help. Residents can cast their votes on Tuesday, April 5, at their respective libraries.

Cops collar burglary suspect by elana Glowatz

A man who officers approached for drinking an open container of alcohol ended up being a pattern commercial burglar, the Suffolk County Police Department said. Police allege Jose Benitez, 34, committed five burglaries in Huntington Station in late March, all of them on New York Avenue in the early hours of the morning. The burglarized businesses include Best for Less, near East 13th Street, on March 17; Variedades Belen, near East 12th Street, between March 20 and March 21; Sunny’s Discount, near West 4th Street, on March 21; Checkers and Rally’s restaurant, at East 14th Street, on March 23; and Promesas Christian Book Store, at West 4th Street, on March 23. Shortly after 5 a.m. on March 24, 2nd Precinct patrolling officers Michael Buscarino and Vincent Dilluvio saw a man with an open alcohol container on New York Avenue near West Hills Road, police said, and the man gave them a false name. They brought him to the precinct and, after detectives further investigated, charged the Huntington Station resident with the five burglaries. Benitez faces five counts of third-

According to the New York State court system’s online database, the suspect has a previous charge pending against him for second-degree menacing with a weapon, and was listed as representing himself on that charge. Police held Benitez overnight and his arraignment was scheduled for Friday. He could not be reached for comment.

Huntington Station man gets 55 to life for shooting cop By Victoria Espinoza

The Huntington Station man convicted of attempted murder of a police officer was sentenced to 55 years to life in prison in Riverhead on Monday morning, Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota said. A jury convicted Sheldon Leftenant, 23, of attempted aggravated murder, seconddegree criminal possession of a weapon and resisting arrest on Jan. 26. On Monday, a judge sentenced him to 40 years to life on the attempted murder charge and 15 years to life on the weapons charge. Spota said he was pleased with the sentence for Leftenant, who authorities have said is a member of the Tip Top Boyz street gang.“I think the judge said it best, that this is a man who deserves absolutely no mercy,” he said. “He has no regard for human life. He certainly, on the evening of this occurrence, had no regard for the life of police officer [Mark] Collins and he deserved the maximum. I hope and I trust that he spends every single day of the remainder of his life in jail, because that is where he belongs.” Just before midnight on March 12, 2015, Collins, a 13-year veteran of the Suffolk County Police Department, pulled over a speeding car in which Leftenant was a passenger near Mercer Court in Huntington Station. Collins, a plain-

clothes member of the 2nd Precinct gang unit, ordered Leftenant to exit the vehicle before the suspect started running, forcing the officer to chase him. Collins deployed his Taser twice on Leftenant, hitting him in the back. As the officer tried to handcuff the man, unaware of his suspect’s weapon, there was a struggle and Leftenant shot Collins twice — once in the neck and once in the hip. Leftenant fled and was soon apprehended.

Collins survived the gunshot wounds. From the courthouse, he reacted to the Huntington Station man’s sentencing. “I’m just happy to be here and be back to work and live a healthy life again,” Collins said. He thanked everyone, from his fellow officers to the staff at Stony Brook University Hospital, for their help and support. “I still have some lingering side effects, but I am not going to let them hold me

back. I have a whole different outlook on life, and a lot of things mean a lot more to me these days and I am happy to be here.” He also said he was satisfied with Leftenant’s sentence. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini said the case highlights the importance of the county supporting their law enforcement officials. “Suffolk County will not stand for violence against our law enforcers,” he said after the sentencing. “It is that simple.” Leftenant’s wife Angelica said she believes her husband did not have a fair chance in the case, saying that despite the verdict, he is not guilty. “Sheldon Leftenant is innocent and we will prove that in an appeal,” she said. “Sheldon will be walking home on an appeal. I laughed [when I heard he was sentenced to 55 years], because he’s coming home. My husband will be walking home next to me. [The] case is going to be dropped.” Robert Biancavilla, the deputy homicide bureau chief within the DA’s office, disagreed. “Mr. Leftenant could not have been given a more fair trial in this case,” he said. “Everyone basically bent over backward to ensure that all of his rights were guarded and that he received a fair trial. The evidence against Mr. Leftenant was overwhelming and he, to this day, refused to acknowledge that or take responsibility for it.”

asked prior to the vote. Polansky called it a roll of the dice to submit a different capital proposition to the state prior to making the ADA-compliant upgrades. “Aside from the fact that I think it’s the right thing to do,” he added. “How do we prioritize this over needing a new roof?” Palacios asked. Another board member, Jennifer Hebert, weighed in on the discussion. “We don’t want to have a student showing up needing these kinds of accommodations and have to be retrofitting it as they’re in the building,” Hebert said. “We should do it now, so that if and when we have students that have these needs, we’ve already got everything equipped for them in the building.” The state comptroller’s office released an audit report in March, which concluded Huntington exceeded the amount of money legally allowed in capital reserves for the previous three school years. By law, a district cannot have more than 4 percent of the ensuing school year’s budget saved in capital reserves, according to the report. Any money over that limit must be used to make improvements in the district. Thus, this proposition would help the district use the money currently sitting in its reserve fund.

“I knew I had the support of all of my teammates out there, which gave me the confidence I needed to make the saves when I needed to,” Tucker said. “It felt awesome to be able to help my team.”

Harborfields scored for the advantage, and after assisting on the goal, Harborfields senior midfielder Ella Simkins received a long pass up and across the field from Deren and shot the ball into an open right side for a 7-5 advantage with 55 seconds left to play. With the game on the line, the Panthers pushed to even the score. Harborfields head coach Kerri McGinty said she knew Miller Place had what it took to rally back. “We knew that Miller Place was going to be really good, really athletic, have a lot of speed — we didn’t get off to the start we were hoping for, but what’s most important is that the girls had a team win here,” she said. “We’re a very dynamic team this year. We have a lot of goal scorers, great defenders, great midis, we have that mentality of sharing the wealth as well, which makes us a much harder team to prepare for.” Parrella said what ignited the team to come back was senior attack Allison Turtorro’s goal after she received a pass in front of the cage with 34.5 seconds left. “It gave us that much more adrenaline,” Parrella said. “That next draw control was huge for us.” Miller Place won possession of the draw, and the team sprinted down the field as fast as it could. That’s when Parrella did her thing. “I just really charged to the net and put in everything I had to score that goal,” she said

of her fourth goal of the day. She scored five goals in the prior game in a 15-4 win over Lindenhurst. “Everyone went crazy. It was a big moment for us to step up and show other teams what we’re made of,” she said. After a foul forced a turnover in Miller Place’s zone, the Tornadoes had the opportunity to win with seconds left, and did. “We all came together as a unit and rallied back,” Simkins said. “I feel like we’re all trying to piece together what we lost, so I think that we’re looking really good now, and as the season progresses I see us getting better and better.”

where Smithtown workers take the material for processing at a special facility in Brookhaven. Burke has played an integral role in the recycling improvements. “I helped to implement single-stream recycling in the village, which has been a tremendous success, resulting in tax savings,” she said in an email. She also edits the village newspaper. Burke grew up in Asharoken and,

after living in the city for several years while working as a marketing executive, she moved back to raise a family. “I’m pleased to be running for my second full term as trustee along with Mayor Letica and Trustee Ettinger, both residents with exemplary character and work ethic,” she said. “The current board … works well together, considers opposing views respectfully and makes decisions based on what is in the best interest of the Village of Asharoken and its residents.” Residents have until May 17 to complete paperwork to run for the three village positions.

Bend the Arc has several chapters across the country, and this year, they launched #JewsFor15 a campaign to support the fight for $15, by mobilizing Jewish communities across the country to support local and state campaigns to increase the minimum wage. They said they feel not supporting the $15-per-hour minimum wage is a violation of fundamental values as both Jews and Americans. “By speaking up for the ‘Fight for $15 movement,’ we are honoring the legacy of our Jewish ancestors, many of whom immigrated to the U.S. at the

turn of the century, worked in factories, and fought for higher wages and union rights,” Ackoff said. Eric Schulmiller, of the Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore in Manhasset, echoed the sentiment while speaking at the Hicksville train station. “I’m here today because striving for social justice is a core part of my identity as a faith leader and a core part of Jewish communal traditions,” he said. “Jews have been engaged in America’s social justice movements for generations and we’re not about stand on the sidelines now, when countless American families are struggling to make ends meet and economic inequality is growing more and more severe.”

Seven marathons in seven days for vets

Photo from Legislator Kara Hahn’s office

Eva Casale, third from left, is recognized for her upcoming marathon endeavor by Suffolk County Exectuive Steve Bellone, second from left, and other county officials.

In April, Eva Casale, vice president of information technology for Suffolk Federal Credit Union and ultra-marathoner, will run seven marathons in seven days — each day centered on honoring local servicemen killed in action and linked to communities they called home that SFCU now serves. With this extraordinary feat, she will raise critical funds for Hope for the Warriors, an organization that provides comprehensive support programs for service members, veterans and military families. Sponsored by SFCU, Eva and her supporters, Team E.V.A., will run 184 miles in seven days, April 2 – 8, dedicating each mile to a specific Long Island veteran. For a $50 donation, supporters are invited to run with Eva for the last seven miles of each day’s journey. Ask Eva why she chose Hope for Warriors and she will tell you that E.V.A. stands for Every Veteran Appreciated. “I wanted to put my passion for running to work for veterans. The sole pur-

pose of Hope for the Warriors is to help those touched by military service to succeed here at home. The programs they offer post-9/11 active duty and reserve service members, veterans, military caregivers and families of the fallen are making a tangible difference in people’s lives.” Eva has been a runner since high school and has run 57 full marathons and 34 ultra-marathons. Since deciding 10 years ago to pair her passion for running with support for charitable organizations, Eva has raised more than $150,000 for charity, including the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “Individual efforts that support our organization — efforts like this extraordinary series of seven marathons that Eva Casale will be running in April — are vital to our ability to serve post-9/11 service members,” said Steve Bartomioli, director, Hope for the Warriors. “We are grateful to Eva, and to Suffolk Federal, for supporting our veterans in need.”

Carlson wins big at film competition Centerport resident Cosmo Carlson, along with two colleagues from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, were the recipients of the prestigious Best Picture award at the annual Tisch 48, a film competition held at New York University. Carlson, along with Jacob Grover and Brenden Hall, collaboratively wrote, directed, produced and edited the short film, “Culinary Wands,” a satire based on Kickstarter starring Carlson and Grover with supporting performances by Asher Farkas and Susannah Perkins. “I am proud that our film won Best Picture and we were up against some formidable competition. I had a great time producing the film with my friends — it was stressful, hard work, we

argued a lot and I loved every minute of it!” Carlson stated. A 2012 graduate of Harborfields High School, Carlson, is a senior in NYU’s undergraduate program in film and television and has written, directed and starred in numerous films during his years at NYU. He will be shooting an original film next month on Long Island entitled “The Derby,” based on the Pinewood Derby competition. He will graduate in May with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts and plans to pursue a career as a screenwriter and director. The Tisch 48, an annual film competition at NYU that was held in February, requires students to write, direct and edit a film over a weekend.

OPINION EDITORIAL

A brighter future

Suffolk County put out a request for proposals to help redefine what the former Steck-Philbin Landfill brownfield site on Old Northport Road in Kings Park could look like, and this week a Stony Brook group has proposed to build a solar farm there. We were excited to read some of the details behind the Ecological Engineering of Long Island plan, which the firm’s president Shawn Nuzzo said would deliver significant amounts of solar electricity to Long Island’s power grid without decimating anymore of the area’s land. This is the kind of development we hope our fellow Long Islanders can get behind. The solar farm proposal is an example of what can be done with Long Island’s most problematic properties. All we need is for residents and politicians to give it a chance. Oftentimes we encounter widespread resident opposition across our North Shore communities to development proposals of any sort for various reasons. But by giving projects like this a thorough look, coupled with an open mind, we believe we can address some of the biggest environmental issues facing the Island. In this case, for example, transforming an industrial area into something

Ecological Engineering of Long Island has proposed to build a solar farm former Steck-Philbin Landfill brownfield site on Old Northport Road in Kings Park.

that could benefit us all seems almost like a no-brainer. The former landfill site in Kings Park is no doubt an eyesore and a horrific blight on the greater North Shore community, so why not see it transformed by a legal and reputable business? EELI wants to come in and build a 6-megawatt solar farm through crowdfunding dollars, so let’s support the firm. This quote from Nuzzo, also the president of the Three Village Civic Association, said it all: “Unlike other recent

utility solar projects on Long Island — where large developers have proposed to clear-cut forests, raze golf courses and blanket farmable lands — our proposal takes a dangerous, long-blighted and otherwise useless parcel and revives it as a community-owned solar farm,” he said. We say reputable, by the way, because of the several letters of support Nuzzo and his team received from some of the North Shore’s staunchest environmental advocates, including state Assembly-

man Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station). This property is a perfect example of what we could do with so many more of our neglected areas across the North Shore. The landfill is not situated directly next door to someone’s house, so the “not in my backyard” argument holds a little less weight. It’s time we think smart when it comes to repurposing our landscape.

BY LEE ZELDIN

On the East End of Long Island, we must be committed to protecting and preserving the abundance of our natural resources that are so important to our life, culture and economy. This is an issue that is personal for all of us. For me, growing up on Long Island and enjoying the beauty of Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge, Smith Point County Park and so many other treasures of life in our area, we are constantly reminded that in order to provide each generation

How to safeguard North Shore environment with that same privilege, we must be good stewards of the environment. Protecting our environment also goes hand in hand with protecting commerce in our regional economy where so many jobs and small businesses depend on scenic beaches, parks, clean water and wineries to attract visitors and economic growth. In 2015, there were many local environmental issues worth championing. Of critical importance was the successful effort to save the Land and Water Conservation Fund after the previous Congress had allowed this program to lapse. Congress also established a permanent tax deduction for conservation easements that are essential to preserving land and farms in our region, and made progress in further developing the research and use of alternative energy, much of which will take place right here on Long Island at SUNY Stony Brook and Brookhaven National Lab. Here are a few of the many other specific opportunities that exist moving forward: · Stopping the sale of Plum Island (H.R. 1887). Last year, I introduced legislation,

H.R. 1887, that would protect Plum Island and prevent a sale by the federal government to the highest bidder. This bill has bipartisan support from the entire Long Island and Connecticut delegation in both the House and Senate. Plum Island is cherished by the local community, not only as an essential resource for research, but also for its abundance in cultural, historical, ecological and natural resources. Congress should take action to pursue a better direction for Plum Island that would allow for continued research, public access and permanent preservation. · Protecting the Long Island Sound by passing the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act (H.R. 2930). This bipartisan legislation that I introduced with Congressman Steve Israel (D-Huntington) proposes $65 million in funding per year through 2020 for a water quality and shore restoration program and additional focus, oversight and coordination of federal activities related to the restoration of the Sound. Over the years, the Long Island Sound has suffered severely from issues such as pollution, overdevelopment and the dumping of

dredged materials. It’s important that this bill be passed to ensure our waterways are preserved for generations to come. · Improving the management of our fisheries, by passing the EEZ Transit Zone Clarification Act (H.R. 3070) and Fluke Fairness Bill (H.R. 1888). Recreational and commercial fishing is one of the many great things about life, industry and culture here on Long Island. Both of my bills, H.R. 3070 and H.R. 1888, would make important reforms to our current fisheries laws to reinvigorate the rapidly fading traditional heritage of saltwater fishing on Long Island and elsewhere, while sacrificing none of the environmental and economic benefits of continuing to rebuild coastal fish stocks. I will keep working in Congress to make sure these two bills pass the House. Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), an Army veteran who serves as a major in the Army Reserves, represents the 1st Congressional District of New York. In Congress, two of Lee Zeldin’s committee assignments are Veterans’ Affairs and Foreign Affairs.

The mythology of real and imagined heroes

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

odern mythology, as it was for those Greeks and Romans long ago, is a carnival mirror. Mythology helps us see ourselves and our world using distortions to exaggerate truths or to give us a chance to focus on different parts of our lives and society. The Greeks created these spectacular stories to understand how the sun crossed

the sky to where spiders came from. The former occurred because Apollo pulled a chariot across the sky and the latter was a result of a mortal woman named Arachne engaging in a weaving contest with the goddess Athena. For the Greeks, these stories offered a possible cause for the inexplicable and helped ordinary people cope with the seemingly arbitrary and capricious nature of events around them. Why, they might wonder, did their favorite tree die when lightning struck it? Zeus must have been upset about the latest offering or about the words you said when you were at the market. A chest of gold washed ashore near you? You must have done something to please Poseidon. Our modern myths and heroes come from many places. People win Purple Heart decorations from grateful presidents, earn medals of honor for their valor, or walk or run hundreds of miles to raise money for worthy

causes. The list, of course, is much longer than that: Scientists and doctors fight to find cures for cancer, autism, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease and many other problems; firefighters race into burning buildings to save others; and police officers protect and serve our communities. Hollywood wants a piece of the hero action, pumping out movies about people with the everyday courage to challenge conventional thinking. The studios have invested considerable money in the live action version of comic book characters, cranking out stories about men and women with spectacular powers, incredible toys and spirited enemies. In a new twist, Batman and Superman will battle it out around the same time that Captain America and Iron Man clash. Is it a coincidence that these movies are coming out at around the same time? Maybe. Is it a coincidence that they’re coming out at the same time that Trump and Hillary

get ready for the main event? Maybe not. In any case, these movies, which hope to capture plenty of dollars, have seized on something visible in our carnival mirror. People, like their on-screen superheroes, want to do the right thing — whatever that may be. At the same time, others, driven by a similar desire, may pull in the opposite direction. A conflict is inevitable, particularly in the context of a modern world in which quick reflexes are more important than reason and consideration. We don’t sleep on decisions anymore or consider our moves or the consequences. With people plugged in wherever they are, the world requires instant responses. Strength comes from thoughts that travel at the speed of Zeus’ lightning bolt. Like the Greek gods who fought with each other, our modern movie heroes are no better than the rest of us. They

Hollywood has seized on something visible in our carnival mirror. are limited by their perspectives, weaknesses and a past that threatens to push them in the same decision-making rut. What does the carnival mirror, at least the one that Hollywood is using, suggest about where we’re heading in a country divided between red and blue states, between us and them? I don’t know how these new movies end, but I suspect these superheroes learned to stop fighting and work together. Hopefully, the Republicans and Democrats, who stand in front of the same flag and ask God to bless America, will figure out a way to reach across the aisle and create the kind of peace, security and prosperity we would all like to experience. Wouldn’t that be a nice Hollywood ending?

European travel hit by terrorist bombs

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

arlier this week, there was a news report on the radio that 50 percent of hotel rooms in London and Paris were empty. Individuals, tour groups, even business travelers had canceled their reservations and were staying home. The statistics made me sad. When I was graduating from high school in 1958, I passionately wanted to travel to some distant shores and see what life

in those countries was all about. I had read about Paris in my French class, had translated Julius Caesar’s “The Gallic Wars” from the original Latin, studied the rise and growth of democracy and personal freedoms in my history class, and tried to understand political ideas like communism and socialism in political science class. Now I wanted to see these concepts in action in the real world. My mother was adamant: “You can travel to Europe with your husband. Not before!” Sure enough, the first time I crossed the Atlantic, I sat beside my husband on an eight-day guided tour of London. How fascinating and instructional it all was. How much knowledge I amassed by the time I returned. How much more I understood. I was hooked on travel for the rest of my life. It was said then that we were citizens of our countries, but our children and grandchildren would be citizens of the world. And that prediction has come true. My grandchildren have

already been to three different continents. The impressions they brought back have made them smarter, better and more compassionate people, and they have not yet even reached their majority. But what about today? Are the risks worth the rewards? We know there is a lot in the news these days to make us angry and fearful. Maybe those two emotions are really the same. Almost every day there are reports of carnage of innocent people across the globe triggered by terrorists who want to make a political or sectarian statement, or are looking for revenge. The death and maiming of those victims, whose only misstep was being in the wrong place at the wrong time, is a modern tragedy — a game of Russian roulette. The more gruesome the killings, the more notice their assailants get. Children killed, sure. People slaughtered as they are kneeling in prayer, yes. Aid workers risking their lives with humanitarian motives ... kill them. The ultimate idea is to spread a

tsunami of fear and isolation. When people stop traveling, the terrorists know their brutal efforts are working. In a world that has become wonderfully global — with citizens of different countries interacting and coming to understand the customs and religions of each other, with economies benefiting from tourist spending that raises standards of living — travel is a natural target for those who would bomb us back into the Stone Age. And to what end? The purpose of the killers is power, the power to better control the masses, to attract followers by using corrupted ideology and perverted religious tenets, to enrich themselves with plunder — age-old strategies throughout the bloody centuries. Nothing new here. What is new is a world interconnected by jet planes and Internet information in a way that was unimaginable in the past.

The ultimate idea is to spread a tsunami of fear and isolation. ous few, and those few were more interested in commerce than in societal change. Too many people now have tasted the fruits of travel, enjoyed the wonders of seeing new treasures, tasting new foods, enjoying new dances, meeting new people, appreciating new lifestyles, applauding different forms of government, for the clock to ever be turned back. That is why the killers seek to destroy art and architecture wherever their bloodthirsty rampages take them. They don’t want people to see the different wonders of the world and equate them with new ways to live. So, is it worth it? Is travel to return to only the most daring and adventurous who sailed the seas and trekked the land? I don’t think so. Remember that old song? “How you gonna keep ’em down on the farm after they’ve seen Paree?”

It was a battle until the final seconds. In a frenzied finish, four goals were scored in the final minute, ending with Harborfields’ varsity girls’ lacrosse player Angela Deren scoring the game-winning goal with 5.6 seconds left for a big 8-7 victory over Miller Place Tuesday. “It feels great,” said Deren, a senior attack. “Our attack and our riding helped, and our goalie saved us a lot. It was a great team win.” Deren was right. The Tornadoes’ sophomore goalkeeper Erin Tucker kept her team in the game, coming up with 15 saves on the evening. She said she felt the excitement as the last seconds ticked off the clock. “The energy on the field was amazing,” she said. “It felt like we won states, so it was awesome to be a part of.” Miller Place started off scoring the first two goals of the game, and by halftime, had a 3-2 advantage. Harborfields junior attack Mikayla Bergin scored the game-tying goal in the

opening minutes of the second half, but Miller Place senior midfielder Alyssa Parrella helped her team edge ahead with her second goal of the afternoon off a foul shot. “Although it didn’t go the way we wanted it to go, I know every single girl on my team put in the hustle and the heart today,” she said. After Parrella tied the game, 5-5 with 6:40 left to play, she got a foul shot, but Tucker came up with one of her crucial saves. HARBORFIELDS LAX continued on page A10
