12-year-old killed in North Shore boating accident by victoria espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com A sailing lesson ended in tragedy Tuesday afternoon, July 18, as a 12-year-old boy died after injuries from a boat propeller in Centerport.

According to the Suffolk County Police Department, three children, all wearing life vests, were taking part in a sailing lesson when their boat was capsized as a controlled part of the lesson, at the Centerport Yacht Club, located on Beach Plum Drive at approximately 2:55 p.m.

The 12-year-old boy was receiving sailing instructions when he fell into the water. An 18-year-old instructor who was operating a small Zodiac inflatable boat was able to pull the child from the water and

onto the Zodiac. The child was seated on the side of the Zodiac when the instructor started to move forward. The boy again fell into the water and became entangled in the propeller of the Zodiac. The instructor immediately entered the water to render aid. He and another instructor were able to pull the child onto another boat and began CPR. On shore other EMT’s assisted until a paramedic from the Centerport Fire Department responded. The child was transported to Huntington Hospital where he died from his injuries. An instructor was also admitted to Huntington Hospital for shock. The other children did not receive medical aid.

Second Precinct detectives are investigating the incident.

Smithtown community gets treated to kindness

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Staff members at a Smithtown senior living community tried to make this past June a little special for local residents with “Radiant Acts of Kindness.”

Whisper Woods, a Benchmark community located on St. Johnland Road is set to open next June but the staff tried to make their mark on the community early by performing 24 acts of kindness around town.

“In celebration of Benchmark Senior Living’s 20th anniversary we researched the Smithtown community to see how we could help others in need,” Desiree Krajnyak-Baker, executive director, said in a phone interview.

Krajnyak-Baker said the team’s research led them to the Guide Dog Foundation located in St. James, the Smithtown Emergency Food Pantry, which combines the efforts of seven local churches, St. Patrick’s R.C. Church of Smithtown and more.

“We looked at the supplies they needed, collected some and dropped it off,” Krajnyak-Baker said of the guide dog foundation. “For the Smithtown food pantry we went to the grocery store and purchased items to bring to them. And at St. Patrick’s

New book puts the spotlight on Kings Park’s history

by Jill Webb Before it was Kings Park, the suburban hamlet in Smithtown was known as St. Johnland, a utopian Christian community founded as a haven for poor members of the Protestant working class and orphaned children.

In the newest installment of the Images of America series, you can learn all about the history of Kings Park — which just celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2016.

The co-authors of “Kings Park,” Smithtown historian Bradley Harris, the Director of Collections and Interpretations at the Long Island Museum Joshua Ruff and the Executive Director of the Smithtown Historical Society Marianne Howard came together and selected more than 180 vintage photographs to be featured in the book, along with captions detailing the images relevance within the history of Kings Park.

Howard set aside time from supervising the day-to-day activities at the Smithtown Historical Society to contribute to the book and said it took two years to compile images.

She noticed in her research that most small, American towns all underwent the same transformations from colonization to industrialization. The unique aspect to every small town is the people and resources they contribute which Howard said is what is highlighted in the book.

“I hope that the people from Kings Park see people and places that they know in the book,” Howard said in a phone interview. “That’s what they should be excited about — seeing how their own community transformed the history here in this part of Long Island.”

The book’s chapters are titled St. Johnland, The Kings Park Psychiatric Center, Early Kings Park, Churches and Schools, and Building Modern Kings Park. The book’s authors divided the chapters based on personal interest and selected the photos collaboratively.

Ruff, who has been a consulting curator for the Smithtown Historical Society for over 10 years, said the image-centric

Clockwise from above, a photo in “Kings Park” of a family at a clambake on the Nissequogue River, which is present-day San Remo, circa 1900; an aerial view of Tanzi Hardware and lumber Company and Railroad Station, circa1960 (King Pedlar Collection) featured in “Kings Park.” This area is now Tanzi Plaza, a retail shopping plaza; the front cover of the new book. format is an “immediately accessible and terrific way of connecting” with the community of Kings Park and those who are interested in its history.

But Howard, Ruff and Harris were not the only ones putting in the research — the community was also able to participate. The authors said they were grateful to receive private collections of photographs from resi-

dents that are featured in the book.

“When we thought that we were finished with what we had, other people were coming forth with their photographs that had something a little bit different that we wanted to share with everybody else,” Howard said. “What’s great about Smithtown is that many people have a strong connection to the town and have lived here for either

their whole lives or are third or fourth or fifth generation Smithtown residents.”

In completion, the authors “really felt like it was a good balance of architectural and social history,” Ruff said.

One section Howard finds particularly interesting displays how the wave of immigration brought on by the Kings Park Psychiatric Center shaped the town, along with how the town dealt with — and is still dealing with — the after-effects of its closure in 1996.

The caption a photo of the hospital’s Building 93 describes it as “now obsolete, unsafe and a magnet for vandals.” It goes on to describe the building as a “decaying symbol of a past age,” which makes residents wonder when the buildings on the grounds will finally be demolished.

Howard noted Kings Park has received funding for downtown revitalization. The proposed plan hopes to reshape Main Street by initiating “the economic strength of the community and provide a center of activity for residents to enjoy,” according to the action report prepared by Vision Long Island, Inc., the group hired to create the revitalization plan.

The action report said the fate of the psychiatric grounds has yet to be determined.

“I think the community has grown enormously over the last 100 plus years and the book really shows how it’s evolved,” Ruff said. “The community has grown into this large multi ethnic suburban community that now has plans in place for major downtown changes in the next couple of years that will help to continue the changing evolution of the place.”

PersPectives An American in Paris: reflections on Trump’s Bastille Day visit Your turn

When I was 11 years old, I was confronted with what would appear to be a simple decision. I received a letter from R. C. Murphy Junior High requesting that I choose which language to study.

Little did I realize that by ticking off the box in front of French rather than Spanish, German or Latin, I was sealing my future fate. Thirty years later, I’d find myself married to a François rather than a Francisco or a Frank, BY living in Paris instead of MaEdna aYmE-Yahil drid, Santiago or Vienna, and reflecting on what it means to be an American in Paris on July 14, a day steeped in symbolism when a U.S. president that I didn’t vote for came to visit a French president for whom I would have voted had I been allowed.

to celebrate the occasion this year. Those who wanted to support the festivities made their way to the Champs early Friday morning. For those who hate Trump, there was a No Trump Zone party in the Place de la République on the evening of the 13th and a “Don’t Let Your Guard Down Against Trump” march on the 14th that started from the Place de Clichy. I know where I was. And if the recent Pew Research study is correct, 86 percent of the French population joined me there, at least in spirit.

Edna Ayme-Yahil is head of communications for EIT Digital and on the Board of the European Association of Communication Directors. She graduated from Ward Melville High School in Setauket and currently lives in Paris with her French husband and 10-year-old bi-cultural daughter.

Le Quatorze Juillet

One Great Rate at a Time

The French celebrate Le Quatorze Juillet to commemorate the storming of the Bastille (July 14, 1789) and the Fête de la Fédération (July 14, 1790). In 1880, July 14 was proclaimed a national holiday and has been celebrated ever since with a military parade in Paris.

Since the end of World War I — except for the period of German Occupation from 1940-44 — the French President and hundreds of thousands of citizens gather on the Champs -Élysées to watch the military parade. The President of the Republic often uses the occasion of the 14 Juillet to make political statements. For example, in 2007, troops from the other 26 European Union member states marched to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome; the parade in 2014 commemorated the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I with representatives of the 80 nations that participated in the war invited to the ceremony.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Americans love to celebrate Bastille Day, as the holiday is called in the Anglophone world, with viewings of “The Triplets of Belleville”, wine tastings and parades. From New York City to New Orleans to Philadelphia to Milwaukee, Americans fete the occasion with a passion and friendship that belies a relationship with France that can best be described as love-hate despite the fact that France has consistently been a staunch ally of the U.S. since the Revolutionary War — think Lafayette and both World Wars versus “freedom fries,” the Iraq War, and “cheese eating surrender monkeys”.

Late last month, Emmanuel Macron invited Donald Trump to be his guest of honor this 14 Juillet with a dinner at a chic restaurant located inside the Eiffel Tower followed by the place of honor at the military parade — which also included American troops this year to celebrate 100 years of the entry of the U.S. into WWI. This is despite the fact that Trump supported Macron’s opponent, the far-right populist Marine Le Pen, in France’s recent elections, the two men are at opposite sides of the climate change debate, and as recently as a month ago, Trump declared that he “was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.”

The irony of Trump’s visit to France and his new-found bromance with Macron lies in the symbolism of this day, which represents overcoming the despotism of monarchy and the oppression of people who spoke up as well as the reality of these two modern leaders. Over the course of one year, between 14 Juillet 1789 and 1790, France had abolished feudalism and adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizen, a document that intended to protect French citizens’ equality, freedom of speech, and political representation. America’s Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence grew out of this same Enlightenment philosophy. How does this jive with the train wreck that is Trump’s presidency as well as Macron’s channeling of the Sun King at Versailles?

Luckily, both French and Americans could choose how

hometown history Old-time crafts come to life at the Smithtown Historical Society by marianne howard The next time you go to the store and pick up a ready made ball of yarn, think of this...in 1700, the time it took to sheer a sheep, wash the wool, card the wool, spin it into yarn and weave that yarn into cloth took two almost two years. Three hundred years ago, the necessity of making your own clothes and blankets was a reality on rural Long Island. Many people had only two sets of clothes, with hand-me-downs being extremely common. Even though today the need for such skill is no longer essential, the crafts of sheering sheep, spinning wool and weaving still live on at the Smithtown Historical Society.

Margie Grabowski is one of the society’s educators, having worked there for over twenty five years. She graduated college with a degree in elementary education, and began working with the education department where she learned about looms and spinning, a central focus point in the Life on the Farm field trip program. This program teaches children how animals were integral to existence on rural Long Island during the early eighteenth century.

Ironically, Grabowski’s husband, Ron, is the Society’s resident blacksmith, a passion he picked up soon after he and Margie began dating, almost forty years ago.

Grabowski enjoys working a pedal loom, a large frame to hold threads for weaving.

Every time she steps on the pedals below her feet, sturdy upright threads push yarns together which have been woven through them. More intricate designs require more complex patterns of threads, such as a tapestry. Simpler designs are easier, in comparison, to prepare on the loom.

such as knitting, sewing, weaving and crocheting because they are able to recognize the beauty of making their own products.

Students who see her work the pedal loom during field trips to the Smithtown Historical Society often remark that their mothers or grandmothers have taught them to sew or knit or crochet. Today you can even purchase loops and loom kits in toy stores for children to enjoy as well. SHS is planning an evening making your own felt dryer balls for the fall months, and these types of events are increasing in popularity across Long Island.

You can learn more about this craft at the Smithtown Historical Society. The Spinning Study Group of Long Island meets every third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the Frank Brush Barn. The Society also includes spinning and weaving crafts as part of our Portals to the Past Summer Camp program for children, which runs through the end of August.

County U.S. Attorney: $147M stock manipulation scheme targeted senior citizens Defendants from Port Jeff, Mount Sinai, Coram, Cold Spring Harbor, Dix Hills among those indicted

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com

Defendants charged with:

In a plot that could have been lifted straight from the script of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” six North Shore residents were among 14 indicted in federal court in Brooklyn July 13 for their alleged roles in a $147 million stock manipulation scheme, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.

A press release regarding the indictment alleged the defendants defrauded investors by obtaining shares in five publicly traded companies from insiders at the companies for below-market prices, artificially drove up the prices of the shares, while “aggressively and repeatedly” calling and emailing victims to purchase shares — oftentimes senior citizens — and then sold their own shares between January 2014 and July 2017.

“Manipulating stock prices, as alleged in this case, to appear more attractive to investors, is a deliberate attempt at sabotaging fair market trading,” Assistant Director-inCharge for the FBI’s New York field office William Sweeney Jr. said in a statement. Sweeney and acting U.S. Attorney Bridget Rohde read the indictments. “Manipulation, at its core, is a true act of deception, especially when the elderly are targeted. This scheme involved an incredible amount of money, more than $147 million. That’s no small change for even the savviest investor. As evidenced by our arrests today, we take these matters seriously, and will continue to pursue those who make victims out of unwitting participants in these schemes.”

Managers of My Street Research — a Melville based investment firm — Erik Matz, 44, of Mount Sinai and Ronald Hardy, 42, of Port Jefferson were among those indicted.

They also engaged in a scheme to launder about $14.7 million in proceeds obtained as a result of the scheme, according to Rohde’s office. The government restrained Matz’s Mount Sinai home and seized bank accounts containing alleged criminally obtained money. The attorney representing Matz and Hardy did not respond to a request for comment.

A phone message requesting comment from My Street Research was not returned.

Dennis Verderosa, 67, and Emin L. Cohen, 33, both of Coram, and McArthur Jean, 34, of Dix Hills were among those listed as “cold-callers” for the operation.

Cohen’s and Verderosa’s attorneys each declined to comment via email. Jean’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment.

Robert Gilbert, 51, of Cold Spring Harbor and owner of the investment firm Accredited Investor Preview was also among the 14 people indicted.

“We’re still studying the indictment, but Mr. Gilbert is mentioned substantively in only one paragraph,” Gilbert’s attorney Ira Sorkin said in a phone interview. “He has not been incarcerated, and there is no claim any of his assets have been frozen as is the case with some of the others.

Until we have a chance to read further into the indictment we will have no further comment.”

Young ‘green’ leaders compete for $10G prize at SBU University hosts international Clean Tech Contest for the first time

By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com

Stony Brook University was bursting with “clean” and “green” alternatives July 14 thanks to high school students competing in the international Spellman High Voltage Electronics Clean Tech Contest, a competition geared to challenging teenagers to identify and create solutions to environmental and green building problems.

Now in its sixth year, July 14 was the first time the international competition took place on Long Island. It was hosted by the Center for Science Teaching and Learning of Rockville Centre, which encourages children to learn about science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The nine teams on hand — which included seven from the United States, one from Singapore and another from the Philippines — competed for the top prize of $10,000.

The teams earned their spots in the finals after beating out 230 other teams from around the globe in previous competitions.

This year’s theme was Creating a Greener Future, and the contestants outlined their findings for solutions in topics such as sustainability, green building, “sick” building syndrome and energy efficiency.

In the end, two Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School students, Alyssa Iryami, 15, and Audrey Shine, 16, emerged the winners with their SuperSilk project. Feeding silkworms graphene, an allotrope of carbon, the girls were able to create strong, natural silk to construct low-cost water purification filters.

After the competition Alyssa and Audrey were ecstatic about their win.

“It’s been such a journey,” Audrey said in a statement. “It’s been a long day. It’s been a long year really because we started this in September, and now that we got this far I can’t believe it.”

Audrey said that both of their grandfathers had experience working with silkworms — hers in China and Alyssa’s in Iran.

The girls said it’s important for young people to get involved in creating green solutions. Alyssa said the sooner such solutions are applied the more people can do to protect the future of the planet to prevent “devastation and destruction.”

“Right now the world needs more environmentally friendly options considering that there’s a lot of pollution and water levels rising,” Alyssa said.

‘The earth is changing and we need to save it. I hate to sound pessimistic but if we don’t believe we can save it, it’s going to keep going the way it is.’

—Ray Ann Havasy Loren Skeist, president of Spellman High Voltage Electronics, a Hauppauge-based company that sponsored the event, said in a statement the company became involved because the competition touches on important issues and topics that are of interest to the business, plus other aspects were attractive to them.

“The manner in which it’s done both in terms of focusing on practical applications that can have a meaningful impact on one of the central issues of our time, and working as teams and then providing the contestants with an opportunity to interact with teams and high schools from other areas around the world, it’s just a wonderful concept,” he said.

Skeist was not a judge at the event, which he said enabled him to interact with the teams more so than the judges were able to. He said he appreciated the students’ enthusiasm, energy and creativity, and the winners’ concept was extraordinary. He said he hoped the competition will encourage the contestants to continue with innovative green projects and support similar activities by others.

“I learned from their presentations,” he said. “And it gets me excited about the opportunities to use technology to address important issues. They made me maybe more aware of issues that I hadn’t even been fully

aware of [before], and some that I had been aware of but was not aware that there was this kind of approach to solve.”

Ray Ann Havasy, director of the Center for Science Teaching and Learning of Rockville Centre and Long Island administrator of the competition, said all the team members possessed creativity, which she said most people don’t realize is a big part of science. She said she was pleased with this year’s venue.

“This place has such a reputation for science and technology,” she said in a statement about Stony Brook.

The administrator of the competition said she was impressed by the winners’ enthusiasm.

“Something simple as silk combined with something that we know of graphene — I think how excited they were that something so common can become something so great,” she said.

Havasy said she hoped students such as the ones involved in the competition will inspire other young people to become involved in STEM education and work on green projects.

“The earth is changing and we need to save it,” she said. “I hate to sound pessimistic but if we don’t believe we can save it, it’s going to keep going the way it is.”

Science pro

Commack Middle School eighth-grader Chapin Zerner took First Place Highest Honors in the New York State Science Congress for his project, “Is there a correlation between coronal mass ejections originating from the sun’s surface and the solar sunspot cyclic waxing and waning?”

Chapin’s project focused on one of closest neighbors, our sun. Although it is 93 million miles away, activity on our nearest star can have consequences here on Earth.

The sun’s temperature varies on an 11-year cycle, cycling from a quieter period to a

more turbulent solar maximum. Sunspots sometimes erupt into very powerful solar storms which can interact with Earth’s magnetic field and cause problems such as power grid disruptions or even putting satellites in orbit out of service. Chapin’s project is of profound importance because the more we are able to predict these violent solar outbursts, the better prepared we can be to deal with any potential issues that may result. Chapin received a $400 check, and plans on continuing his science research into this topic and many others when he attends Commack High School in the fall.

Animal smarts

Fourth-grade students in Danielle Neri’s class at Dogwood Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District recently participated in an animal research project.

Each student created a book, slideshow and reported on their animal as part of a class project. Guests were invited to a class presentation to meet the animal experts, who were ready to answer questions regarding their animal.

After nineteen years serving the community on the Commack Board of Education, Mary Jo Masciello did not seek reelection this May. Masciello was a BOE member since 1998 and led the board as president for 13 years. A former teacher and dedicated Commack PTA member and officer, she and her husband raised four children, all Commack graduates. Her focus was always on doing what was best for this community and its children and to provide students with an excellent learning experience.

During her many years on the board of education, she received many awards, including the SCOPE award for board of education service. In November of 2010 she was the recipient of two prestigious awards from the New York State School Boards Association: the Master of Boardsmanship Award, and the Leadership in Governance Award. Masciello was honored for “the extensive time, effort, and commitment required of board members who strive continually to expand their knowledge of education and their skill in school district

governance.”

She has spent countless hours focusing on academic development and advancement, attending the many school functions, concentrating on school district business matters, and weighing the fiscal needs of the community and schools. She is an avid fan of our students, and a fixture at sporting events, concerts, and most other school gatherings. She has also earned accolades and highest honors from the PTA, including a NYS Distinguished Service Award.

Old and new friends alike attended a reception in Masciello’s honor and celebrated her tenure at the June board of education meeting, although this remarkable lady is not fond of being the center of attention.

Through the combined efforts of six gifted high school art students, coordinated by art teachers Frank Musto and Rob Raeihle, and Brenda Lentsch, public relations director, a modern day recreation of the photo on the cover of the book “100 Years of Commack” was dedicated to Masciello. The fixture was hung in the board meeting room at the Hubbs Administration Building.

Eagle Scout pride

Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) attended the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for his constituent, Nicholas Cacioppo, of Boy Scout Troop 539. Nicholas earned 26 Merit Badges ranging from Athletics to Soil and Water Conservation.

For his community service project, Nicholas restored a 1962 Willys M38A1 medical jeep by removing all of the rust and painting it, as well as getting the engine to run. He also built a prefab carport

to house the jeep, which is on display at the VA Hospital in Northport.

“Becoming an Eagle Scout is a testament to your character and leadership skills and is something that you have accomplished while still a teenager,” Trotta said. This recognition will stay with you for the rest of your life and can never be taken from you,” said Trotta. “What you have done is very impressive and we will expect great things from you in the future.”

50 strong

The Fort Salonga Elementary School was built in 1967 and recently marked its 50th anniversary. The occasion was celebrated with students reading their essays about the school and the third-grade chorus singing several songs to entertain the guests.

The school’s mission is to inspire lifelong student curiosity, creativity and independence.

It provides instruction from kindergar-

ten through the third grade.

Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) thanked the school administration for inviting him and suggested that the children in kindergarten remember this day and think about returning to the school in 50 years when it will celebrate its 100th anniversary. He then led the students in singing “Happy Birthday.” “This is one of the best schools on Long Island and my children also went here,” he said.

Bloody good

This past Thursday, Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) hosted a blood drive in conjunction with the Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps in Commack. The blood drive took place from 3 to 8 p.m. and received 74 pints of blood.

The annual blood drive continues to be a success. Food was donated by three local businesses: Chick-fil-A and White Castle in Commack as well as Mama Angelina’s in Hauppauge. The New York Blood Center is thankful for Kennedy’s efforts and Kennedy was happy to help.

“It is important to give blood whenever possible,” Kennedy said. “It truly is an amazing experience, and you never know whose life you could change in the process.

I also want to thank the generous business owners in the community for donating food for our blood donors.”

Kennedy’s next blood drive will be held on Aug. 2 at 725 Veterans Memorial Highway in Hauppauge, her district office. For more information about this event or other events in the community, please call her office at 631-8543735 or log onto Kennedy’s Facebook page at facebook.com/legislatorlesliekennedy.

kindness Continued from page A3 It didn’t stop there for the executive director.

“I also did random things like pay for the coffee for the guy behind me in line at the local Dunkin Donuts,” she said. “It felt great to be able to help people in our greater community. Whenever we came back to the welcome center here after making a delivery we always felt so good and said we wanted to go right back out and help.”

Krajnyak-Baker said the Smithtown recipients were very appreciative of the unsolicited help.

Receptionist Lynne Marie Alafnourian said thinking back to the kindness acts they performed gives her goose bumps.

“I can’t express how beautiful it was and the joy I felt that day,” Alafnourian said in a phone interview. “It’s very rewarding to get those beautiful moments with the residents.”

The receptionist said one day she was giving out free goodie bags at a table outside of Stop & Shop in Smithtown and at first everyone was avoiding her because they thought they needed to give her something for them.

“The people went from running from us because they thought they had to sign up for something to joy at a free gift.”

tournaments, earning International Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Third-Team AllAmerican status in 2014. She was also named the Lacrosse Magazine and ILWomen.com Goalie of the Year, picked as the America East Defensive Player of the Year and nominee for the Tewaaraton Award, given to the most outstanding American lacrosse player.

Current Stony Brook attack and soon-tobe senior Kylie Ohlmiller also bought what Spallina was selling.

“He told me I could live out my dreams here,” she said. “He told me I could win a national championship in my time here, I’ll be the face of women’s lacrosse and on the cover of magazines. And it’s all happening now.”

The Islip resident said she wants to be a coach one day, and Spallina is the inspiration.

“He’s able to be stern and be authoritative, but at the same time he can throw a joke in there like he’s one of your best friends,” she said. “He’s able to make it fun, and that’s ultimately the reason we play. It’s to have fun and win.”

He and Ohlmiller were big proponents in recruiting her younger sister Taryn. As the leading scorers on the team, the two are referred to by their head coach as a couple of the “big dogs” on the team. Kylie Ohlmiller’s 164 points shattered the previous Division I record of 148. Her 86 assists are also a new DI record. She was American East Offensive Player of the Year, was named a Tewaaraton finalist, also an IWLCA ILWomen Attacker of the Year. Her younger sister led all Division I freshmen and ranked seventh in the nation with 98 points last season. The attacker was

named America East Rookie of the Year and an IWLCA All-American.

“Once you’re one of his big dogs he wants to be closer to you,” Taryn Ohlmiller said. “He does one-on-one workouts with us, he gets you out there early, doing shooting drills. He cares about you as an individual as much as he cares about the team.”

The team-first mentality that the Ohlmillers and the Seawolves have bought into under Spallina, who is also the head coach of the Long Island Lizards, propelled Stony Brook to new heights in 2017, as the Seawolves went 20-2 and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals – all new high-water marks in program history. The team broke Division I single-season records for assists (222) and points (576) in 2017 while leading the nation in scoring defense (7.27) and scoring margin (8.82).

For his leadership, in turning the program around and becoming the winningest coach in program history, Spallina has been named America East Coach of the Year in 2012, 2015, 2016 and 2017, and was named IWLCA Coach of the Year for the Mid-Atlantic Region following this season. He also garnered several coach of the year honors with the Lizards.

“He deserves all of the recognition — he deserves the world and so much more,” Kylie Ohlmiller said of her head coach. “Last year we were ranked second in the nation behind No. 1 undefeated University of Maryland, and that’s just in a couple of years — it takes decades for some coaches to do. He’s doing what a lot of coaches can’t or haven’t done, and it’s really cool to see. It’s insane how he’s flipped the culture of Stony Brook athletics.”

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never Known To Fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the Son of God, immaculate virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me & show me here in, you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity There are none who can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

(3 times). Oh Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands.

(3 times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can obtain my goals. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine.

The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days.

The request will be granted.

This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted. E.A.D.

Centerport wants your blood

File photo

Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci is working to get Long Island Rail Road commuters a refund after weeks of disrupted service.

Relief from the summer ‘heat’ Many Long Island Rail Road customers have spent weeks dealing with train delays and schedule changes due to repairs at Pennsylvania Station.

Recently, state Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R-Huntington Station) drafted the Long Island Rail Road Rider Rebate bill that would provide commuters partial reimbursement for their weekly or monthly train tickets, and we applaud him for his efforts.

In a way, the assemblyman has shown the perfect example of customer service, as he was motivated after receiving calls from constituents who were dissatisfied with the LIRR’s service. If the bill is passed, commuters will receive a rebate equivalent to 25 percent of their ticket.

While being compensated for unsatisfactory service is an excellent idea, especially for working people, we know a good or bad commute can set the tone for the day. Our hope is that additional legislators will work on measures to ease the burdens of Long Island residents who commute into the city.

One proposal of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is to expand the limits of carpool lanes. Currently, on the Long Island Expressway between Exits 32 to 64, a vehicle must contain two or more passengers to use the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes Monday through Friday from 6 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 8 p.m. If time limits are condensed or temporarily lifted while the LIRR experiences problems, more people would have the option to drive and park at locations closer to the city where they can then travel into Manhattan by subway or bus. It also helps those who make the regular commute by car feel less stressed by freeing up the lanes they use daily.

We feel another option that would be environmentally friendly and reduce congestion in the boroughs is to offer businesses incentives to allow employees to work from home. In an era where the majority of people have access to computers, unlimited calling on their telephones and video chat services such as Skype, working from home is easier than ever. Since workers wouldn’t have to leave their homes, the option would enable them to be punctual for meetings, even if they are calling in, or be on time for family and social obligations.

One individual or even a group of individuals may not have much influence over the LIRR; however, when legislators join forces with constituents, results can be achieved. We hope they are listening to the problems LIRR commuters are vocalizing during a period dubbed the “summer of hell” by Cuomo.

Because a blood emergency has been declared for the summer in the Long Island region, I am teaming up again with the New York Blood Center to host a drive. With schools being recessed for break and many residents on vacation, we have to work harder to ensure that our community maintains steady participation in blood donation.

In just New York and New Jersey, 2,000 donations are needed every day to keep our hospitals sufficiently stocked.

When blood is donated, it takes a minimum of 48 hours to reach a patient as it must be typed, separated and tested before it can be released to hospitals. The universal blood type O negative, which is only 6 percent of the

population, is greatly needed at this time as that blood can go to any patient, regardless of blood type.

I would like to encourage all who can donate to please join our efforts on Thursday, July 20, from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Centerport Fire Department, 9 Park Circle, Centerport. Each donor will receive an electronic voucher, which they can redeem online for a pair of tickets to the New York Mets!

Some of the requirements to donate include: You can donate blood once every 56 days.

You must be between the ages of 16 and 75.

If you are 16, you will need parental consent

If you are over the age of 75, you will need a doctor’s note.

You must weigh over 110 pounds and be in good health in order to give blood.

No tattoos in the last 12 months.

Having blood on our hospital shelves in advance is key to saving lives. Please come out to our blood drive and help support the thousands of people who will need blood every day! If you have any questions or to schedule an appointment for the blood drive, please contact my office at 631-854-4500.

Stop the rioting and subterfuge As I write this, I am watching the latest cavalcade of communists, the masked marauders, the scions of Soros in wholesale riot mode in Hamburg, Germany.

As the G20 conference is underway, the coterie of cretins have assembled to protest Trump, capitalism and anything else that comes to mind. While facing an existential threat to their existence from imbedded “immigrants” who wish to destroy, they look to capitalism and democracy as the true enemy. In addition, the dope from Park Slope, the mayor of the business capital of the world, Bill Deblasio, saw fit to fly over to join the festivities, even though Penn Station’s infrastructure is in full collapse and a New York City Police Department officer

was just assassinated. The only funny thing about all of this is the legions of anticapitalist, clueless tools, who should put their money where their masked mouths are and get rid of their Facebook, Twitter, iPad, smartphone, etc., all hallmarks of capitalism.

Meanwhile, the “impeach Trump” rally in Port Jeff Station on July 2, courtesy of the ill-named North Country Peace Group brought together the usual gang of angry do-gooders, mostly from my generation, the ones who haven’t moved beyond 1968.

Impeach Trump. For what? You wanted him impeached before he was elected. Marching, marching, marching to Shibboleth,again?

And what’s with this LI Rising group? Rising against what? One

of their members was quoted as saying that “peaceful protest” was “the only thing available to us” and “I don’t want to see this county come to armed conflict between political factions.” Really? Then stop the rioting, the fighting language and subterfuge.

Stop with the unending lingua franca of the left. Augment your invective beyond the tired words such as “bigot,” “racist,” “misogynist” and “fascist.” Donald J. Trump is now the president, whether you like it or not; the endless “marching,” rioting and ad hominem attacks have gone largely unanswered up to now, but “resistance” can easily become a two-way affair.

OpiniOn Taking time to smell the scents of summer

B

efore we race through August and land on September, I’d like to suggest that we stop and smell the roses, among many other scents of summer.

At the top of the list of smells, on an island where marine life is never far away, is the smell of the ocean. As we lounge on our soft towels, caressed by a gentle breeze, we can breathe in the reviving, sweet smell of

By Daniel Dunaief salty seawater.

Go to any beach during a summer day and you’ll also find the odor of sunscreen filling the air, courtesy of those spray-on bottles that seem to miss their target and head for the nostrils of the near-

D. None of the above

est sunbather as often as they reach exposed skin. While you may not want to eat sunscreen in getting away from your office, the smell can help you appreciate your favorite season, as is the case for my wife.

When you’re driving around town, you might reach a stop light or stop sign adjacent to a freshly cut lawn.

I’ve always connected that smell with baseball fields, primarily because people started trimming their lawns around the same time as I played my abbreviated baseball season. When I was younger, I had as many games on my schedule in a year as this next generation seems to play in a month.

The atmospheric conditions in this light-intensive time collaborate to liberate the smell of mouthwatering food. At night or on weekends, the smell of a cookout can often encourage us to make a U-turn back to the supermarket to pick up some burgers, hot dogs and chicken.

I can’t drive anywhere near The

Good Steer in Lake Grove without my nose acting like a sensory GPS, taking me back to my childhood and the spectacular onion rings that filled my plate.

Stand near just about any bakery in town and you’ll often have the opportunity to enjoy the best form of marketing, as the scent of freshly baked breads and cakes drifts down the street, leading us by our noses to their glass-enclosed treats.

When we were younger, my mother used to get on a sailboat, unpack our pretzels, turkey sandwiches and cold waters, pick up her head as if an old friend had called to her from the middle of the Long Island Sound and proclaim, “Oh, smell.”

Now, I recognize that the world is filled with the kind of foul odors that can turn a subway ride into a trip to “Dante’s Inferno” and that a visit to a friend’s house can also bring the pungency of wet dog to our nostrils.

The heat and the humidity, after

all, is an equal-opportunity odor elevator, bringing everything to our attention including an awareness that the guy in the car next to us had garlic at lunch or the woman in line at the deli fell into the marsh in the morning.

Still, I prefer to focus on the proverbial odor glass as being half-full, as did some of my friends, who shared their favorite summer scents.

One person’s favorite smell is that of rain after the first drops fall, while another enjoys honeysuckle and the smell of jasmine from her native Beirut. A third enjoys the scent of coconut with lime or pineapple, and a fourth sings the praises of pine trees, mushrooms and wildflowers that remind him of his youth.

When we breathe in deeply enough these moments of summer rain, honeysuckle, coconuts and wildflowers, we can slow down the treadmill of time.

Morning people and night owls survive the night

H

ere is an interesting idea. We know that sleep patterns change as we age. Older adults seem to have more difficulty getting an uninterrupted night’s sleep. Some maintain they need less sleep as they get older, although there is scientific dispute about that.

Now researchers are suggesting that such changes “may be an evolutionary adaptation that helped our ancestors survive the night,” according to a New York Times SciBy Leah S. Dunaief ence item titled, “Alive One More Day, Thanks to Grandma’s Insomnia” by Aneri Pattani. Younger people tend to stay awake later and sleep later. With different hours for sleeping, at least

Between you and me

one generation was awake or lightly dozing at all times through human history to be on guard for the rest, a sort of inadvertent night watch.

That makes me feel a bit better when I wake up at 3 a.m. and can’t fall back to sleep. Now I know I am on guard duty and there is a purpose to my tossing and turning. Curiously I can usually fall asleep again with the breaking dawn and always half an hour before the alarm is set to go off.

So maybe there is something to the night watch theory. With the coming light, others will awake, it is safer, and sleep can be resumed.

Come to think of it, the whole idea of sleep is compelling. Sleep, for all the studies, is still mysterious. The ancients revered sleep for what was revealed through dreams. That’s also true for some not-so-ancients, right up to Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof,” when he persuades his wife to let their daughter marry the poor tailor, not the rich butcher, because of his alleged dream.

We spend about one-third of

our lives asleep, or at least we are supposed to according to medical standards, yet there are some who resent that time lost. Sleep refreshes us, reenergizes us, even strengthens our immune systems. Yet some say, “I’ll sleep when I am dead,” and try to plow through the days with just short naps. Sooner or later, that deficit catches up with them. Those are the folks who can be found asleep on the subway, at the opera or during an early morning lecture.

How we go to sleep is as fascinating as the fact that we do. There are those who read themselves to sleep, whose eyes get heavy to the point that they can just drop off. Some have to unwind from their activities for a couple of hours in front of the TV before they can relax sufficiently to put themselves to sleep. I am one of those teapots: Just tip me over and pour me out. When it is time to go to sleep, I get into bed and most of the time, once prone, I almost immediately fall asleep.

Did I learn as a young child to put myself to sleep? Or is it genetic? My

husband fell asleep only after a nightly battle with the sleep demon. We had three children. One goes through a routine that he has devised to fall asleep, one struggles with difficulty to fall asleep and one, like me, just lies down and is out. While that last scenario sounds preferable, we who fall asleep easily need sleep urgently.

I go from 9 or 10 to zero energy in remarkably short order. Then, if I don’t allow myself sleep, I am almost in pain. I used to sleep eight-and-a-half uninterrupted hours, then wake up ready to sing, but now there are those interruptions.

Biological clocks are also interesting. There are those who need to go to bed at 9 or 10 o’clock at night, and then again there are some who don’t feel sleepy until 1:30 or 2 o’clock in the morning. Those are usually classified as morning people or night owls. It’s usually best if those opposites aren’t married to each other.

But then again, they can take turns feeding the newborn or standing the night watch.
