America’s VetDogs, a Smithtown-based charity that provides specially trained guide, service and hearing dogs to veterans with disabilities, honored two former servicemen at its 8th Annual VetDogs Golf Classic at Huntington Country Club Aug 28.

Retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Chad Althiser and U.S. Army Specialist Tyler McGibbon were this year’s guests of honor.

Althiser has retired after more than 20 years of service, with his deployments including Iraq twice, in 2003 and 2004 as an artillery officer, followed by a tour in Afghanistan in 2009. He said he first considered getting a behavioral dog as he felt disconnected from people.

McGibbon served as a U.S. Army cavalry

scout. During his first deployment to Kuwait he was injured when his Humvee rolled over, resulting in traumatic brain injuries and a fractured spine. He received his service dog in 2017 to help him with daily tasks made difficult due to the lasting impact of his injuries.

“I truly would not be able to live my life to the fullest or freely without my dog, my other best friend here today,” McGibbon said. “I thank America’s VetDogs for stepping up and saying, ‘We need to do more for our veterans today.’”

It costs more than $50,000 and two years to train, raise and match a service dog with a veteran, according to America’s VetDogs.

However, the charity provides all services at no cost to the veterans.

Town

Smithtown urged to preserve Arthur House

By Kevin Redding Kevin@tBRnewspapeRs.com

A neglected, pre-Revolutionary War house on the corner of New York Avenue and Main Street in Smithtown and other historically significant structures in the area could help boost the town’s future, according to a Smithtown historian.

Smithtown scholar Corey Victoria Geske urged for Supervisor Patrick Vecchio (R) and town council members to draft a resolution to start a Town Hall National Register Historic District in the downtown area at the Aug. 8 town board meeting, which, according to her, would serve to benefit the region’s economy.

She asked the resolution be expedited by the Town Planning Department in cooperation with the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities as well as the community.

The proposed historic district, which Geske first proposed to the board about eight months ago, would center on the town hall building — built in 1912 by St. James architect Lawrence Smith Butler — and include the 106-year-old Trinity AME Church on New York Avenue, the 105-yearold Byzantine Catholic Church of the Resurrection on Juniper Avenue and the 265-year-old Arthur House.

The Arthur House is the only Revolutionary War-era house on the Route 25A Spy Trail, Geske said, and currently sits on the grounds of the Smithtown Central School District. It’s a property she has

pushed in the past to be included on the National Register of Historic Places.

Geske informed the board that the house, built in 1752, was once inhabited

by Mary Woodhull Arthur, the daughter of Abraham Woodhull — better known as Samuel Culper Sr. — George Washington’s chief operative during the famous spy ring.

The intelligence he provided helped win the American Revolution.

Her recent call for the historic district coincided with the July 27 bipartisan legislation introduced by Congressman Tom Suozzi (DGlen Cove) and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) designating the Washington Spy Ring National Historic Trail. The trail runs through towns and villages in both Nassau and Suffolk counties, including Smithtown along Route 25A. “Let Smithtown lead the way in a big way by capitalizing on its own special history and world-class architecture added to the heritage now being recognized at the state and national levels for all towns along the Route 25A Washington Spy Trail from Great Neck to Port Jefferson,” Geske said at the board meeting. “The Washington Spy Trail wouldn’t exist if not for the father of Mary Woodhull Arthur of Smithtown, a true daughter of the American Revolution.”

She also noted The Ward Melville Heritage Organization and North Shore Promotion Alliance were granted funds from the state to install signs along the trail in May. Geske said registering the Arthur House would be beneficial to the town as it could

“The Arthur House was on the SPLIA’s endangered list over 10 years ago and it’s a building that’s been proposed for demolition,” she said. “These are the buildings that have been cast off in the past. [But] they actually could become the cornerstone for revitalizing downtown Smithtown. The history can actually bring to life a new future for downtown, it would be amazing.”

Sarah Kautz, director of preservation for SPLIA, said she hopes the town will involve its vast history into the downtown revital-

ization efforts. The town’s comprehensive revitalization plans came to the conclusion its historic buildings were an important component, according to Kautz, but did not provide concrete plans to address them.

“The town has never really incorporated preservation in a systematic way that would bring it into the wider plan for revitalization,” Kautz said. “The Arthur House is important because it’s an early property and is part of Smithtown’s really interesting early history going back into the 18th century.

By Sara-Megan WalSh Sara@tBrneWSpaperS.coM A Smithtown family is hoping to honor the life of their son by providing others with an educational opportunity to follow in his footsteps.

Stacy and Stephen Martella announced the creation of the Scott Martella Memorial Scholarship Fund in partnership with The United Way of Long Island in memory of their son, who was killed a year ago.

Scott Martella, a Smithtown native and Northport resident, died in a threecar crash on the Long Island Expressway Aug. 21, 2016.

“Scott believed in the awesome power of public service,” his parents said in a statement. “We hope to keep his legacy alive by giving future leaders the same chance Scott had in pursuing a college education.”

The memorial fund aims to provide scholarships to low-income students who will be attending college and whose studies may include international or public relations.

In conjunction with the scholarship fund, Smithtown Central School District announced it will be creating a series of service learning projects for students that will run from October 2017 to May 2018.

This will be done in partnership with the United Veterans Beacon House, a nonprofit partner agency of United Way, to work together on a host of activities such as painting, planting a garden, landscaping and more.

Scott Martella, who was 29 when he died, is widely remembered for his career in public service and his involvement in New York State government and politics.

Martella got started when, at age 22, he became the youngest board of education

member elected in Smithtown school district’s history in 2009.

From 2011 to 2015, Martella served as Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) Suffolk County representative before being promoted to Long Island regional representative.

In June 2015, he started working as the director of communications for Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D).

“Scott was clearly one of the most engaging people that I’ve come across in government,” Bellone said in an interview. “Beyond the fact that he was smart, talented and hardworking, he had that something extra special that he was able to make that connection with people.”

In addition to the scholarship fund, Martella’s parents and Bellone hosted a Back-to-School Drive this month to provide supplies for underprivileged students.

They said their goal was to prepare 5,000 backpacks for homeless or at-risk children.

“One of the last major events [Scott] did before he died was put together this Back-to-School Drive with Long Island Coalition for the Homeless,” Bellone said. “It’s obviously sad to think that he’s gone, but this was also a way to carry on his legacy of public service, a very appropriate way to carry on his legacy of public service.”

Charitable contributions to The Scott Martella Memorial Scholarship Fund can be made online at www.scottmartella.com or www.unitedwayli.org/ScottMartellaMemorialScholarshipFund.

All donations made by check should be written out to include The Scott Martella Memorial Scholarship Fund on the envelope as well as the memo section. Checks should be made payable to United Way of Long Island, 819 Grand Blvd., Deer Park, NY 11729.

Hometown History Students engage local history in summer programs

By Marianne Howard The Smithtown Historical Society was fortunate to be able to provide children of all ages an opportunity this summer to step away from the screens, iPads and TVs to take an active role in volunteering and participating in its programs, camps, and daily activities this summer.

The historical society offers a Portals to the Past summer camp for children ages 6-to-12 for nine weeks throughout the summer. Cooking, sewing, drawing, painting and helping on the farm are all a part of the regular camp offerings. This year, Melissa Clemens, director of education, created a junior educator program which bridges the gap between the camp years and the college years to create a well-informed core of teens to act as ambassadors in their schools and communities to promote an interest in history and education. The first training session in June had eight teens who spent the summer learning all about the historical society and their community. These 13- and 14-yearolds will continue to assist the society at various events throughout 2017.

The society had two college-age interns volunteering with its education department this summer: Robert Rock, a Smithtown resident attending Williams College who has not declared a major; and Jacqueline Michels, a Hauppauge resident attending Providence College as a history and secondary education major. The two students tackled every task given to them and were able to make headway in some of the historical society’s newest projects. Rock assisted at all of the public programs this summer from goat yoga and movie night to the community barbecue. He also initiated a butterfly garden and helped to oversee its planting by volunteers from the Smithtown Youth Bureau at the end of August.

Michels worked diligently to draft a new field trip curriculum for the society’s Obadiah Smith building in Kings Park and reworked the “Long Island Kids: Then and Now” field trip program, which was offered for the first time last year.

“It’s great to see that the future of museums is in great hands,” Michels said. “Based on my time at Smithtown Historical Society this summer, I feel that SHS presents a community-building mission to the public. The organization works to bring together Smithtown residents over their shared local history through community events and programs. This summer, I’ve watched the Smithtown Historical Society make efforts to reach out to Smithtown residents of all ages to bring them to the historic buildings on their property and to bring local history out to the public. All of their efforts build community by bringing together the residents of Smithtown to experience their shared history.”

Rock also agreed that increasing involvement of younger members of community is essential.

“I see the historical society as continuing to provide these programs for public involvement but increasing the involvement of younger members of the community,” he said. “As SHS has made a strong, and so far successful effort to further the involvement of this group through programs such as goat yoga, history happy hour, the movies on the lawn, and yoga on the lawn, I see this trend as continuing to mark the society’s path.”

Marianne Howard is the executive director of the Smithtown Historical Society. For more information on the society, its events or programs or on becoming a member, visit www. smithtownhistorical.org or call 631-265-6768.

A Smithtown man was arrested for allegedly stalking a female jogger in Ronkonkoma Aug. 26.

Suffolk County police said that a 32-yearold woman noticed a man was following her while she was jogging in Ronkonkoma on several dates since April. She reported the incident to police Aug. 25. The woman was jogging on Motor Parkway and Edgewood Avenue in Ronkonkoma Aug. 26 at approximately 9:40 a.m. and noticed the same man.

On Aug. 13, a man entered Rite Aid on Veterans Memorial Highway in Smithtown at approximately 7:45 p.m., displayed a gun and demanded cash. The suspect fled with the cash.

Fourth Squad detective William Berhalter alerted patrol officers that they were looking for a man with distinctive tattoos, including one on the top of his hand.

This man was suspected of having committed similar robberies at several stores including: Burger King, located on North Ocean Avenue in Farmingville, Aug. 16 at approximately 10:40 a.m.; Dunkin Donuts, located on Veterans Memorial Highway in Hauppauge, Aug. 17 at approximately 5:45 p.m.; and 7-Eleven, located on Motor Parkway in Islandia, Aug. 18 at 12:55 a.m.

NatioNal Zeldin talks Trump and more during exclusive interview

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com From the podium at The Emporium in Patchogue Nov. 8, 2016 after his race against Anna Throne Holst (D-Southampton) was officially called and his near-20point victory was secured, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said he was looking forward to the opportunity to “make America great again.”

Zeldin has become synonymous with President Donald Trump (R) locally, and though he said during an exclusive interview with the Times Beacon Record News Media editorial board he still supports the president, just short of 10 months removed from his re-election, Zeldin also said he is not a “proxy” for Trump, or anyone else.

During the 90-minute interview, the congressman preached bipartisanship, addressed the future of health care, discussed Trump’s Twitter account and inflammatory speeches like the one he made in Arizona Aug. 22, criticized the president for his response to the Charlottesville, Virginia, protest and addressed the state of his support for Trump going forward.

“I don’t give anyone my proxy.”

Despite being a strong supporter of Trump during their parallel 2016 campaigns, Zeldin had a strong response when asked if the president had his unequivocal support.

“I don’t give anyone my proxy,” Zeldin said, though he did say he supports the president and wants him to be successful.

He added if he had to vote for Trump again today, he ultimately would. “It’s not 2020, but if you asked me Aug. 25 of 2017 if I was casting a vote right now and he was running unopposed, yeah. If he was running against someone else and there was a compelling reason to go some other direction, then you factor into it.”

Zeldin pushed back on the perception of a large group of his constituents who believe he is the local embodiment of Trump. He cited several examples in which he has been critical of the president, including when Trump made a Holocaust remembrance statement that made no reference to Jewish people, or when he voted in line with many House Democrats against a bill that would roll back internet privacy protections, which Trump ultimately signed into law.

The congressman also reiterated a statement he has made publicly in the past, that the meeting between Donald Trump Jr., other members of the Trump administration and people with ties to the Russian government alleging they had damaging material on Hillary Clinton in June 2016 should have never taken place.

“If you really wanted to ask yourself, is this guy just going to be or has he been some proxy or some stooge who is refusing to say where he disagrees, you would have to ignore like 20 different examples where it’s not even taking my word for it, this is stuff that I’ve said on national TV,” Zeldin said. He surmised the perception he is too tightly connected to Trump comes from people who can’t wait for the day Trump is no longer in office.

Zeldin added although he disagreed

“There are people who think nothing has gotten done.”

Zeldin pushed back on the idea that partisan gridlock, which has long characterized the country’s perception of Congress, is getting worse or is being amplified

by Trump. He said bills are being passed and bipartisan discussions are being had everyday by members of the House.

“People have this perception that when the House is in session and we’re all on the floor together that it’s an old school Aaron Burr duel taking place amongst all members all the time,” he said. “Where everyone’s basically literally trying to kill each other on the floor.”

Zeldin said he isn’t going to sugarcoat it, or try to make the discussions sound all rosy. He pointed to the over 50 bills passed since Trump has taken office as proof of Republicans and Democrats working together to get things done.

He said these topics tend to get overshadowed by what is broadcasted on TV news.

“People get very discouraged when you put on the news and you’re only coming in contact with bad news,” Zeldin said. “It’s almost like [it’s] not even newsworthy to talk about what got done that day. What’s newsworthy is what may be the biggest, most dramatic confrontation or battle that might be going on. That’s the news everyday.”

He attributed heated political rhetoric and the notion Congress is struggling to work together to the business model of the three major 24-hour cable news stations — CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. “The information they’re coming in contact with is deliberately targeting them to stir emotion, because that’s how they get traffic,” he said.

The congressman recalled several times when he was slated to do a cable news in-

terview on a particular topic, which the president would be happy to see gain coverage, only to be asked questions about the investigations into Trump’s ties to Russia during the campaign because of a Tweet he sent moments before the interview.

He admitted the president has the power to steer the conversation in the right direction.

“There is no person in the United States of America with more of an ability to drive the conversation,” he said. “I don’t know of the last time we had an individual in the United States of America with a bigger soapbox than the president of the United States.”

“He’s willing to sign 50,000 different versions of this bill.”

Common ground exists between Republicans and Democrats on the future of the federal health care law, according to Zeldin, though he said he’s skeptical of the Senate’s ability to reach a majority on a replacement of the Affordable Care Act. At no point during the 90-minute conversation did the congressman use the phrase “repeal and replace,” though he discussed,

at length, some of the issues with the individual market and what it would take to repair it in a way that works.

“Beyond partisanship there’s an ideological difference on the insurance piece, and what do you do with the ACA,” Zeldin said. “They just absolutely, genuinely to their core disagree on certain components of what direction [to go in].”

Zeldin was extremely critical of the process that led up to the ultimately failed Senate vote on health care and stressed the need to return to regular order.

The health care vote revealed three Republican senators as willing to oppose the president on major legislation. As a result of that vote and other circumstances in which Republican senators have spoken out against Trump, Zeldin encouraged the use of the president’s “bully pulpit,” like the way he spoke about Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) during his trip to Phoenix Aug. 22.

When asked if the president is doing enough to grow his base of support rather than just appealing to those he already has in his camp, Zeldin was also critical.

“There are opportunities for him to do more to broaden that coalition,” he said.

He also indicated the president is prepared to compromise on a health care bill.

“He’s willing to sign 50,000 different versions of this bill,” Zeldin said.

“There is no moral equivalency.”

The congressman was most critical of the president on his response to the events in Charlottesville. He repeatedly stated there is no moral equivalency between marchers on the side of the KKK and Nazism and those who attended the rally to oppose hate, a point that was contradictory to statements Trump made publicly on the subject. Zeldin said he did agree though with the president’s point that members of the “alt-right” were not the only one’s who arrived at the Virginia rally for the purpose of inciting violence.

“If you are a good person showing up to that march and you realize once you get there that by being associated at all with that march that you are associating yourself in any way, shape, or form with the KKK or Nazism, a good person, immediately, instinctively completely disengages,” Zeldin said.

Last summer blast

On Aug. 15, the Nesconset community gathered for the last concert of the summer. To mark the end of the summer series, the 4th Precinct Police Explorers presented the colors as the color guard. Kicking things off Madison McNally, of Centereach High School, sang the national anthem exquisitely.

Then the band 45rpm brought Nesconset back to the 1970s, before everyone had iTunes, and the only portable device was your AM/FM radio. They played the songs often overlooked, but deeply woven into the fabric of our American culture.

The crowd was happy to hear them play a fantastic show to close out the year of Nesconset summer concerts.

Sponsoring Girl Scouts Suffolk Federal is sponsoring the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County LEGO League junior robotics team. In LEGO League, Girl Scout teams participate in robotic competitions by building mechanical robots out of LEGOs that must solve a real-world problem linked to a particular theme.

“Girl Scouts of Suffolk County is proud to have Suffolk Federal as a LEGO League robotics team sponsor,” said Yvonne Grant, president and CEO at Girl Scouts of Suffolk County. “We look forward to a successful and lasting partnership as we continue to offer our young women unique and enriching opportunities through science, technology,

engineering and math.”

LEGO League helps to build self-esteem and confidence in young women, allowing them to work together in a nurturing environment. They creatively problem-solve while developing their cognitive, social and engineering skills.

“It’s an honor to work with the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County in an effort to provide continued opportunities for young girls in our community,” said Sarah McCandless, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Suffolk Federal and board member for the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County. “Knowing that our contribution directly supports the growth and development of these young women is extremely rewarding.”

Delivering meals on wheels

Meals on Wheels is a nationwide network of community-based, nonprofit programs dedicated to providing seniors in the community with the support that enables them to remain living independently in their own homes. Pictured with Congressman Zeldin and Supervisor Romaine is Leisure Village resident Evelyn Rolleri.

The Nutrition Program provides over 3,000 meals per month through home-de-

livered meals and two congregate dining sites. Menus are prepared by a registered dietitian in accordance with health department meal service standards. Volunteers work in conjunction with the town’s jitney transportation program to distribute the home-delivered meals. Two nutrition centers provide residents with the opportunity to socialize and participate in a variety of activities, including games, dancing, exercise, movies and trips. The town’s Nutrition Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, New York State and the Suffolk County Office for the Aging.

Kingsmen soccer team looks to kick it into high gear After just missing playoffs in OT stalemate, boys look to nine returning starters to guide the team toward a postseason appearance

By Bill landon Last year Kings Park needed to win the final game of the regular season to make the postseason, but after two overtime periods that left the game resulting in a tie against Hauppauge, the Kingsmen were held back from making that playoff appearance — by a single point.

But that was then, and the Kings Park boys soccer team has shaken off the stalemate and is looking to make strides toward a better start to the season and not leave a postseason hope hanging in the balance.

With nine returning starters, the chance of achieving that goal increases this season.

“We lost seven seniors to graduation, but what’s great is that we have those returning starters, which is tremendous,” Kings Park head coach Bill Hender said.

“They all had big minutes last year, and our bench guys are also tremendous and I think they’re much stronger than they were last year, so we have a lot more depth.”

Because of reduced enrollment, Kings Park moved down to League V as a Class A team this season but won’t escape its nemesis because Hauppauge also dropped down in the division standings.

“We’re considered a Class A school now, which is good,” the head coach said.

“When we go into the playoffs we won’t go against the Brentwoods, which have four times as many kids as we do, so it’ll be a little bit more fair for us.”

He said he’ll be leaning on Eoghan McGovern, Liam Thompson and Matt Anderer to steer the ship, but said he’s hoping junior Connor Brady can contribute some guidance.

“He really turned it on in the second half of last season,” Hender said. “In a game against Eastport-South Manor he scored two goals in a span of about 48 seconds — they were both beautiful shots.”

Thompson, a two-year varsity center back, said he thinks his team has its best chance to pick off Hauppauge this year.

“We’ve always been close with Hauppauge — we’ve always been right there but never actually made it over the hump — we’ve always wanted to beat them,” he said. “I think we have it this year with this team — we have returning guys and we’ve all been best friends forever, so we’re excited.”

Senior center midfielder Robbie Catoir agreed with Thompson in that the Kingsmen’s pros this season could help them get the better of the team who ended their last season early.

“It makes us hungrier,” Catoir said. “We’ll have to work on our communication to start, but Hauppauge is still the team to beat.”

Defensively, the team returns three out of the four core from the back line.

Guarding the net will be starting goalie Nicolas VanDuesen, who didn’t see action last year due to an injury, but is now at full strength.

“I’m most pleased with our defense,” McGovern said. “I think we have to focus on just scoring goals. We’ll see once the games start up if we can finish.”

Hender agreed his team’s defense is a force to be reckoned with, pointing to McGovern as the biggest driving force to back up his claim.

“We have a three-year All-Conference player in Eoghan McGovern, and I think he’s the best center back in the county — he’s that good,” the head coach said. “Other coaches have made comments about how good he is. And Alex Graci is a junior who came in and gave us a lot of minutes in a lot of different positions last year, so he’s

looked great throughout training camp this year. He’s really come into his own.”

Kings Park will play a pair of nonleague games, against Wyandanch and ShorehamWading River, before its season opener at home against Rocky Point Sept. 6 at 6:30 p.m.

Boater safety tips ahead of Labor Day weekend

By HerB Herman It’s Labor Day weekend and a great time to go boating. You get the family in the car and go to the marina. Being a responsible boater, first you check the weather forecast and make sure that you won’t face any surprises out on the water. You or someone else will remember the sandwiches and drinks. You get to the boat and go through the required check-off items: examine the fuel level; check oil; see that the personal flotation devices are in the right place — at least one per person and easily accessible in an emergency — check if the anchor is set up for easy deployment; that flares and other emergency items in order; that the hand-held VHF radio is charged and readily available.

Being a responsible boater, the final thing to do before you cast off is to inform the passengers and crew as to where the emergency items are and how to use and wear them. And if you are a diligent boater, you file a float plan with friends, so that in the eventuality that you aren’t where you’re supposed to be in the coming days, they can inform the Coast Guard of a potential problem.

All of the above seems like a lot of hard work to go out for a day trip to the local anchorage.

But with some experience, and perhaps after some nasty events, you will tend to do these things automatically — better yet, have an actual check-off list so you forget nothing. Then you’ll have a beautiful day to go boating.

Coast Guard teaches, rather preaches, to their boat crews and to the Coast Guard Auxiliary situational awareness. That is, what’s going on around you. In the parlance of the local guru, mindfulness — the state of knowing the environment in which your boat plows ahead.

File photo

These include water state, weather now and what’s to come, wind, other boats and buoys and all the impediments that exist on local waters. There should also be a designated lookout in case someone falls overboard.

Above all, know the rules of the road. This includes what to do when boats approach one another. These regulations, also known as colregs, are devised to avoid collisions at sea.

The main elements should be learned by way of courses given on Nautical charts, which are available for the waters in which you wish to sail. The chart, unlike a land road map, gives you broad swaths of safe passages and also tells you which regions to avoid due to shallow depths and rocks.

If you’re a power boater or a sailor with an accessory motor, you should know about the innards of the beast. Have you enough fuel for your planned voyage? Will you check the oil dipstick, or do you assume marina personnel

do it for you? They won’t unless you ask them to. Are all your oil, water, fuel and water filters clean, and can you change out a clogged filter?

Are water cooling sea cocks open? Can you troubleshoot easy problems? Do you have the essential tools for such work? Most aspects of inboard and outboard motors can be handled by a layman with a little study. A quick course on troubleshooting your power plant by the marina mechanic can also pay off.

Paddle craft safety is of growing concern to the Coast Guard, with some 22 million Americans enjoying the sport. According to industry figures, some 100,000 canoes, 350,000 kayaks and a very large number of stand-up paddleboard are sold annually. A tragic consequence of these large numbers is that as of 2015, 29 percent of boating deaths were related to paddle crafts. In response, the USCG has generated a Paddle Craft Vessel Safety Check, which is administered by a USCG-approved vessel

Items to check for as you head out to sea •Personal Flotation Devices — at least one per person on board •First Aid Kit and blanket •Very high frequency radio •Flashlight •Operational navigational lights •Depth sounder, lead line, sounding pole •Bilge pump or other de-watering device, portable pump •Serviceable and sufficient number of fire extinguishers — should be tested occasionally •Watch or clock •Visual distress signal •Sound-producing device •Compass •Chart for operating area •Deviation tables •Navigational tools •Binoculars •Tide tables •Adequate fenders •Anchor and anchor line (rode) •Boat hook •Cleats in order — sufficient strength — through hulls •Tools for emergency repairs examiner, such as Coast Guard Auxiliary personnel. Paddle crafters should wear personal flotation devices and have a sound-producing device, like a whistle, on them at all times.

Assemblyman Steve Englebright suggested an outside-the-box fix to the problem of what to do about dredged spoils during an Aug. 28 press conference.

Planning LI’s future It is a poorly kept secret that the condition of Long Island’s waterways is worsening. Elected officials from town, county, state and federal levels of government have all made improving the ecosystem of the Long Island Sound and other local water bodies a top priority in both their policies and public rhetoric.

We were glad to hear the announcement made by Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), along with council members Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) and Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station), during an Aug. 28 press conference. The town intends to support a lawsuit filed earlier in August by New York State officials against the United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding a dumping plan slated to drop dredged spoils from Connecticut waterways in the Sound for the next 30 years. Some of the spoils could be contaminated with polluted materials, according to some environmental experts.

Standing up to oppose a plan set forth by the federal government because of its hazardous potential impact on the local environment is a great start, but we understand something needs to be done with the millions of cubic feet of dredged sludge.

To that end, we were extremely intrigued to hear a suggestion made by state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) during the press conference, which is even more topical today with severe flooding devastating Houston. Englebright told a story of a 1953 storm in the Netherlands that resulted in a catastrophic flood and killed thousands of people. In response to the disaster, the country formed the Delta Committee, which was tasked with coming up with solutions to prevent anything like the 1953 flood from happening again.

An element of the response, albeit a lengthy and expensive process, was to use in part dredged materials to create a barrier to protect the coastline.

A solution like this to Long Island’s problem of what to do with dredged materials in lieu of further harming the Sound would run in perfect lockstep with a mantra frequently heard from Romaine, a longtime advocate of environmental responsibility: “Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.” It would also provide increased protection from flooding, as experienced during Hurricane Sandy, and aid in strengthening the coastline from the effects of erosion and sea level rising amid the inevitable effects of climate change.

Outside-the-box thinking from political leaders is going to be a requirement over the coming decades if Long Island is to continue to be livable.

If the health of the Long Island Sound can be improved in the process, we can’t think of a reason why a solution like this shouldn’t be explored.

Smithtown Republicans need to vote Sept. 12 After nearly 40 years of generally excellent service, a significant challenge has been proposed to essentially replace the management staff of Smithtown government.

Apparently, this new Republican cadre feels that Smithtown is headed in the wrong direction or is simply stagnating.

Yet, what is their actual intentions for this town? To transform it into another Patchogue, with numerous multifamily apartment houses, with hundreds or thousands of tenants utilizing downtown businesses, local beaches, parks etc.? But, most importantly, we should ask who will pay for their hundreds of children to attend Smithtown’s school systems?

These renters won’t, since none of them will directly pay any real estate taxes.

In their literature, sent to local homes recently, we see that this new group proposes a limited sewer system to be installed on Main Street, presumably to encourage new businesses, but possibly also to make the installation of multifamily housing easier. I ask the average homeowner, how do increases in traffic congestion, school populations, LIRR usage, beach and park attendance, etc., help improve everyday life in Smithtown?

My suggestions to a revised Smithtown, without significant expenditure is to: 1. Eliminate on-street parking on Main Street from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., i.e., “rush hours” to encourage use of underutilized business parking lots and increase traffic flow.

2. Get rid of the town’s “red light” cameras, to increase usage of

town businesses and replace with “speed bumps” every block or two.

3. Pledge not to push for multifamily apartment complexes in Smithtown and use available properties for open spaces.

4. Pledge not to impose a fee to use town beaches, as other surrounding towns have.

On Sept. 12, registered Republicans will have the opportunity to vote in a primary to determine who will lead Smithtown for the next four years. Do we stick with a team that has kept this town the envy of Suffolk County for decades or do we take a chance with a group that may take it in a new direction? The choice is yours.

Please take the time to vote.

Zeldin’s letter reinforces Trump’s lie Rep. Lee Zeldin was among the first to support Donald Trump’s candidacy for president, and he has continued his total support ever since. His letter in The Village Times Herald Aug. 17 [“Zeldin: This is a time to be an American”] seems to say all the right things about the Nazi-KKKwhite “nationalist” (i.e., racist) riot in Charlottesville, until you read closely and realize that it is meant to frame a single phrase, “the violence came from multiple groups and multiple sides,” later repeated as “protesters on either side with extremist views and violent purposes.”

His letter is thus meant to reinforce President Trump’s lie that there is moral equivalence between “good people on both

sides” and his lie that left-wing extremists (“antifa”) charged right-wingers with clubs. The only “evidence” for the last seems to be a photograph originally from a Greek demonstration in 2009, gone viral in the right-wing blogosphere, sometimes with the antifa logo digitally imposed on the back of a protester.

Let us be clear: All the rightwingers in Charlottesville came in response to the racist call from neo-Nazis, the KKK and white “nationalists,” not to defend a statue; there were no “good people” on that side. They came armed with semiautomatic rifles, helmets, shields, swastikas and burning torches — later seen being used as weapons — bent on provocation and violence. They

attacked the counter-demonstrators, some of whom could defend themselves with fists and placards as shields. And of course one neo-Nazi barreled his car into the crowd, killing Heather Heyer and injuring many. A lot of rioters approved his act; one neo-Nazi had the gall to claim it was self-defense.

The ultra-racists, KKK’s David Duke and Richard Spencer among others, praised President Trump, essentially for going as far as he could to defend the Nazi, racist rioters; Trump didn’t use a dog whistle this time, it was a loudspeaker. Many Republicans rejected Trump’s remarks. Mr. Zeldin, you should be ashamed.

OpiniOn Making science work for you

I

’m not a scientist and I don’t play one on TV. Nonetheless, I think science is undervalued in America. I believe the typical American takes science for granted, thinks science owes them something and figures they’ll never understand what scientists are saying.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

For starters, science isn’t just about trying to create the best iPhone, the highest quality and thinnest televisions, or medicines that act like magic bullets, destroying evil our cells or

By Daniel Dunaief in our DNA without damaging the healthy ones.

Science often starts with a question.

Why or how does something work?

And, perhaps, if we change something about the way it works, does it get bet-

D. None of the above

ter or worse? The conclusions scientists draw when they solve one puzzle leads to the next set of questions.

It’s as if a child asks his parent if he can go west and the parent says, “No, don’t go west, but here are the keys to the car.”

The answer may seem like a non sequitur, but it’s also a way to navigate somewhere new, even if, for whatever reason, the car isn’t supposed to go west. Maybe, by learning more about the car and where it can go, the child also learns what’s so forbidding about going west, too.

We want science to succeed and we’re annoyed when science doesn’t solve our problems. We can’t get something to work or we can’t get ourselves to work and we blame scientists. After all, if we can send a man to the moon, why can’t we conquer the morning rush hour or the common cold?

Then again, how does the study of dark matter — neutrinos or sphingolipids — affect our morning commute?

We may not understand these areas, but that doesn’t mean basic knowl-

edge can’t or won’t lead to advances we can’t anticipate.

Knowledge, as we know, is power. If we know, for example, that an enemy is planning an attack and we know where and how that attack will occur, we can defend ourselves, even if that enemy exists at a subcellular level.

Learning the playbook of the enemy takes time, which technological innovation, dedicated researchers and people battling against a disease often don’t have.

Worst of all, though, science is somehow too hard to understand. That is a defeatist conclusion. Yes, scientists use technical terms as shorthand and, yes, they may not be selling ideas or themselves in the kind of carefully crafted tones often reserved for CEOs or politicians.

That, however, doesn’t mean they are planting a keep-out sign in front of them or their ideas. While scientists reduce a question to an attainable goal, they also often keep a larger goal in mind.

A few years ago, my daughter had to draw a picture of what she thought

a scientist looked like. Rather than imagine a person in a white lab coat with one pocket full of pens and the other holding a radiation badge, she drew a baby.

Science may be frustrating because scientists often come across as uncertain. For example, they might say, “We believe that the shadow in our telescope may be caused by an exoplanet orbiting a star that’s outside the solar system, and which is the same distance from its nearest star as Earth is from the sun.”

Scientists can be wrong, just as anyone can be wrong in their job, in their opinions or in their conclusions. That, however, doesn’t make science wrong.

Scientists are often most excited when a discovery they make defies their expectations or bucks conventional wisdom.

Just because conventional scientific wisdom changes doesn’t mean every part of it is wrong.

Science doesn’t have all the answers and it never will. The most likely person to tell you that, though, should be a scientist, not a journalist.

Hope after the horrors of Hurricane Harvey

W

ouldn’t it be wonderful if the enormous energy of Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm for a time, could be harnessed to serve later in some practical way, perhaps to light the city of Chicago during one of winter’s darkest weeks?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the unending rainfall brought

by Harvey, in some places in Texas more than 50 inches already, could be captured, stored and brought to areas that are arid and desperate for water?

By Leah S. Dunaief Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the disastrous effects and ruination caused by Harvey could somehow bring Americans back together, red states and blue states, conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats, forgetting their anger and moving compassionately together to help the tragic victims

Between you and me

of our fourth largest city?

Wait, I think destructive Harvey has done just that.

Am I imagining, or did I hear one of our more bellicose representatives, from Long Island no less, promise to bury the hatchet and vote aid for the state of his longtime adversary, despite not having received such aid in our time of terrible need? And wasn’t he bragging about his empathy?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the unprecedented flooding caused by Harvey could incredibly make the prospect of nuclear war with Kim Jong-un secondary at the top of the news hour, beneath the fold on the front page of the daily newspaper and in the public consciousness?

Yes, it happened like that. Even President Trump disappeared from the news for a time. Harvey it seems, terrible as it is, can do strange things.

But the cost, in human agony, is catastrophic. Millions of people throughout the Gulf Coast have had their lives smashed, and that certainly is the main story for America this week. We have been glued to the television, watching the families with little more than the

clothes on their backs, wading through the waist-high water to meet a rescuer in a rowboat, their homes behind them flooded to the windowsills. Where will they sleep? What will they eat? Will they have enough water? Did they remember to bring their medicines? Are their other loved ones somewhere safe?

So far, the number of wounded and dead has been low, certainly compared to the horrors of Katrina. But there are all sorts of wounds. Most of the people we see on the screen seem remarkably calm but are most likely in shock, trying to make sense of how their lives have violently changed. For some, their houses are totally gone, smashed and washed away in the floodwaters. For others, their homes will have to be razed to the ground because of mold and rebuilt — if there is money to do so. Unlike with Katrina, where some 50 percent of the homes were insured, it seems only around 20 percent in the Houston area have flood insurance.

Businesses, restaurants, automobiles, jobs, whole neighborhoods are gone.

Addresses mean nothing because streets are buried. Valuables and memorabilia of a lifetime have floated

off. But most residents are “lucky”: They have escaped with their lives, their children in their arms.

The victims of Harvey have been grievously wounded. Our entire nation has been wounded.

We have, for now, lost a wide swath of the South, the ordinary, productive lives of the people who lived there and the many resources they gave us, from rice to oil and gas. After concerns for food and shelter are met for those rescued, there is the real threat of infectious disease, pollution and even the possibility of crime. And how will the affected states dispose of all the garbage Harvey will have left in its wake?

In some ways the rescue operation is a mini-Dunkirk. Good Samaritans, using all sorts of recreational vehicles, pickup trucks, fishing boats, motorized rubber dinghies and even Jet Skis, have rushed to help people trapped on roofs, in attics and in trees. The giant volunteer rescue effort, alongside official disaster responders, is a testament to the courage and basic decency of people throughout the country.

No one was asked whom he or she voted for. America, there is hope.
