The home available on Helme Avenue mirrors the neighboring house, above, which the Cote family received in December as part of the homes for returning veterans initiative.

Affordable home for veteran family available in Miller Place The Rocky Point duo that builds affordable homes for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families is still at it.

Rocky Point Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6249 Commander Joe Cognitore and developer and owner of Landmark Properties Mark Baisch are looking for a family to fill a newlyconstructed home in Miller Place, after work with previous applicants fell through.

The pair have built or renovated 12 homes

for returning veterans. The Cote family purchased the most recent home in Miller Place. This 12th home, on Helme Avenue, is next door to the Cote family’s new house.

The three-bedroom, two-bath new construction has a two-car garage, and is priced at $249,000.

Grant will better connect others with local historical society By desiRée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com A Gardiner grant is growing one local historical society’s reach.

The Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society announced the approval of a $4,750 grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, which will be used to upgrade and enhance the format and capabilities of its website and social media platforms.

“The website itself will allow us to better communicate with our members and the general public, and to build awareness about our society and the local history that we are stewards for,” historical society trustee Matthew Burke said. “Once the upgraded website is unveiled, we anticipate launching multiple social media outlets that will seamlessly connect with and populate our website to further enhance our outreach efforts.”

The Miller Place Historical Society was founded in 1979. In 1982, the name was changed to Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society to reflect the membership and the close ties that the two communities have had since the 1600s.

Burke filled out the grant application, emphasizing how upgrading can continue to raise awareness of the historical significance of the hamlets and the buildings the society owns.

The main property is the 1720 William Miller House — the namesake of the town and the oldest house in Miller Place. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places enabled the eventual preservation and restoration of the structure beginning in the early 1980s. In 1998, the Daniel Hawkins House, located just east of the William Miller House, both on North Country Road, was donated to the society. It has undertaken a major fund drive to finance the restoration of the historic gem, with the hopes of using it an archival library and exhibition space. Doing this will also allow for the William Miller House to become a living museum.

Becoming connected with the Gardiner foundation, according to Burke, could help the society in this process.

“We’re thrilled not only to have received the financial assistance, but to start developing a relationship with the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation,” he said.

“Executive Director Kathryn Curran has already introduced us to other members of the Long Island preservation and history communities who may help us.”

Besides handing out the capacity-building grant, networking, according to Curran, is part of what the foundation is all about.

The William Miller House, above, and daniel Hawkins House, on left, could see increased tourism traffic by way of a new website and social media pages funded by a gardiner Foundation grant.

“We want historical societies to link to each other, so if somebody likes going to a Revolutionary War house or Civil War site, they would want to go to another — their success would be built on each other to create tourism,” she said. “We also want them to come to us in the future for funding for different kinds of projects to build their base, their audience and their supporters.”

She said history is hot — noting a rise in genealogy searching and finding different connections to their communities — so this

is a good time for societies to be growing.

“We like to see organizations try to become more sustainable by broadening their outreach and embracing technology to make regional history more accessible to a new audience,” Curran said. “Historical societies don’t like change, and they really need to grow. These investments by the foundation are there specifically to help them become more self-sufficient and have a broader outreach. It’s all about making history an important part of the community.”

Culross homeowners question mandatory membership fee to access own property Rocky Point woman trying to repair cracked bulkhead

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com

Things are rocky between the North Shore “We are religious about it here,” McBeach Property Owners Association and Cormick said. “Every single one of us, at surrounding residents. some point in time, have needed bulkhead Locals from the close-knit beach community repairs.

‘It’s cruel and they don’t need this money.

I can’t imagine what they’re even using it for or what their excuse is for doing it.’

Rocky Point resident Susan McCormick, who lives on Culross drive beach, at top, is having issues with a fee from the north Shore Beach Property Owners Association to access her a cracked bulkhead for repair, above.

McCormick said of her determination to speak with someone on the association’s board. “I would never do to another person what they’re doing. It’s cruel and they don’t need this money. I can’t imagine what they’re even using it for or what their excuse is for doing it. We’re not doing any damage to their little section of beach. This is what I call highway robbery — they’re making money from people’s misfortunes.”

Pete Falcetta, president of the private Culross Corporation said McCormick is doing the right thing. “[She’s] trying to make an emergency repair the proper way by stopping the bleeding, and yet she’s being forced to pay this exorbitant fee that’s more than the original repair,” he said.

Mickey Wolcson, one of McCormick’s neighbors who has lived on Culross Drive for 11 years, said he’s long thought about filing a lawsuit against the association ever since he became the first and last person to pay the $3,800 charge two years ago. His house and bluff plantings were in danger of sliding down, so he needed to make the urgent repair. He said he was flabbergasted when he discovered how much it would cost.

According to Wolcson, the association also pushed a 10-year membership on him in order to maintain his bulkhead. When he called and finally reached someone on the board at the

time, he said he received no sympathy.

Recalling the conversation, Wolcson said when he informed the board member he didn’t want the 10-year membership, explaining that he had his own beach, he was told, “that’s the only way that this can happen.”

“They’re forcing you to become a member even when you don’t want to be one,” Wolcson said. “There’s no justification in this. I think it’s just pure greed. I don’t think they want more members, they want more money.

Are they running on a deficit? Why are they stealing money from their neighbors?”

Losquadro called the access charge “excessive and unwarranted” in an email.

“I have been contacted many times about this issue and the sentiment is always the same; the association is just punishing the very neighbors they are purportedly protecting,” Losquadro stated.

Bonner said she is also continually contacted by people losing bulkheads and running the risk of losing their homes because of the charge.

“One of the nice things about Rocky Point is that it’s a very cohesive community and everyone works very well together, except in this instance, and it’s very disappointing,” the councilwoman said. “It’s just not neighborly and is an instance where some compassion and kindness would go a very long way, especially when you’re talking about people that run the very real risk of losing their house.”

Town Vietnam vets honored during Rocky Point concert When Charles Murphy returned home to Northport in 1971 after serving 14 months in the Vietnam War, he wasn’t greeted with open arms or hand shakes. In fact, it was just the opposite.

“There was no band, no rallies, no thank you’s,” said Murphy, 68, an Army veteran. “You went back into the population and tried to cope with who you were. And you were a different person then. As a group, we Vietnam vets got the short end of the stick.”

Thomas Semkow, 71, who was in Vietnam between 1968 and 1969, said he remembers being looked down on when he came home.

“People weren’t very nice to us,” the Wading River resident said. “We were the outcasts of society.”

But Aug. 1 — more than 50 years since members of the U.S. Armed Forces first set foot on the battlegrounds in Vietnam — Murphy, Semkow and dozens of other Vietnam veterans within Rocky Point VFW Post 6249 and beyond finally got the recognition they’ve always deserved.

It happened during the intermission of Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and the VFW’s annual Rocky Point free concert series.

Each of them stood together in front of a grand stage outside St. Anthony of Padua R.C. Church as Anker and Military Liaison Steven Castleton presented Vietnam veteran lapel pins on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense and a special proclamation signed by President Barack Obama in 2012. Family members of veterans were also honored.

The veterans smiled with gratitude and hundreds of residents applauded as they received the accolades. Part of the proclamation read, “Let us strive to live up to their example by showing our Vietnam veterans, their families, and all who have served the fullest respect and support of a grateful nation.”

“I salute you all, thank you for your service … and welcome home,” said Joe Cognitore, the VFW post commander.

Cognitore, who served in an Army reconnaissance unit in Vietnam between 1969 and 1971, said the VFW has been putting on summer concerts for the community for more than 10 years and was excited at the prospect of giving back to those who warrant the attention.

“They were never welcomed home, and so I’m anxious to see them all come up tonight,” Cognitore said earlier in the evening. “Us Vietnam veterans look out for the guys and girls that are out serving now — we’re dedicating our lives to help them. Men and women who serve today are just unbelievable and we don’t want anything to happen to them like it happened to us.”

Daniel Guida, of Shoreham, was an Army lieutenant in 1967 and 1968. He said it felt really good to be recognized not just with medals, but love and support from the community.

“Recently, when I had my Vietnam veteran hat on walking into K-Mart, six or seven people thanked me and wanted to shake my hand before I even got in the store,” Guida said.

“That’s a foreign concept to me and it really brings a certain reality to what you did and shows that people do appreciate it.”

Members from the Long Island Young Marines stood holding flags during the concert’s opening pledge of allegiance and “God Bless America” performance before Cognitore addressed all the veterans in the crowd, from those who served in World War II to those currently enlisted.

The pin and proclamation ceremony ended with residents and veterans holding hands in a large group circle, swaying and raising them in the air to the chorus of the Southbound band’s cover of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.” “We’re all forever brothers,” Murphy said of his fellow Vietnam veterans. “No matter where we go. Forever brothers.

We’re the only ones who know what we dealt with.”

Residents rally to condemn Trump’s transgender military ban Photos by Jill Webb

A sea of signs at the Smithtown protest for transgender military rights July 27.

BY JILL WEBB In a show of unity, North Shore residents resoundingly condemned President Donald Trump’s (R) intentions to ban transgender people from the military this past week.

Individuals gathered in front of the U.S. Army Recruitment Center in Smithtown July 27 in disapproval of President Trump’s announced ban.

The ban stemmed from a series of tweets President Trump put out July 26, citing his reasoning for the transgender ban being that the military “cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”

Trump’s declaration of the ban on Twitter led the Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition to come out to Smithtown to oppose the ban in a peaceful demonstration. The group advertised the demonstration via Facebook as a way for the transgender community and their allies to speak up for transgender service members.

Juli Grey-Owens, executive director of LITAC led the demonstration with a loudspeaker in hand, chanting in solidarity with the transgender community.

The goal of the demonstration, according to Grey-Owens, was to put transgender soldiers in the spotlight.

“To make people aware of the fact that there are Americans that are supporting our transgender troops — that’s important,” she said. “Number two, it’s to make people aware of the fact that the transgender community is constantly under duress, constantly being discriminated against and this is just one more thing.”

The aim of LITAC is to advocate for the transgender community, often through forums, demonstrations, and putting on informational sessions that Grey-Owens

refers to as “transgender 101s.”

The Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act, passed in 2003 makes it unlawful for anyone in New York State to be discriminated against in employment, housing, credit, education and public accommodations because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation.

But the law isn’t as clear for transgender individuals. SONDA does not explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and expression — but it does apply when a transgender person is discriminated against based upon his or her actual or perceived sexual orientation, according to the New York State Attorney General’s office.

Specific counties and areas, including Nassau and Suffolk County have taken matters into their own hands and passed more specific anti-discrimination legislation for sexual orientation.

Grey-Owens said that LITAC’s objective is to step in any time the transgender community is being discriminated against.

The executive director, along with many of the other attendees of the demonstration, was aggravated with Trump’s claims regarding the expenses of transgender health.

“One of things that they found is the number is so small in comparison to the defense budget, that it is a point zero something of the actual cost,” Grey-Owens said. “The army spends more on Viagra — ten times more on Viagra — then they will on transgender health costs.”

One of the best ways to help the transgender community, according to Grey-Owens, is to unite with them.

“If you take a look at the crowd that’s here now, there are way more cisgender people [someone who’s gender identity matches the sex they were assigned to at birth] than transgender people here, and that’s made our voice louder,” she said.

“People are adopting our cause as their cause. If they’re interested in helping out, this is how you help us: expand our voice.”

One participant, Edna White, said that she was in attendance in support of her transgender family and friends. She stressed the negative effects of the segregation.

“Taking a serious defense of our country — that shouldn’t be separated,” she said. “We’re already separated enough in war as it is, so to do that is really disheartening for me.”

Heather Sacc, another protestor said she found Trump’s sudden tweets against the transgender community very alarming.

“There’s 6,000 trans people in the military that have risked their lives,” she said. “The military didn’t ask for this. It’s just [Trump] woke up in the middle of the night and decided ‘oh that’s what I’m gonna do.’”

Jay Guercio attended the demonstration representing the Long Island LGBTQA Visibility Coalition, a group she co-founded.

Guercio said she felt betrayed by Trump going back on his claims he would support the LGBT community during his campaign.

Trump tweeted in June 2016, thanking the LGBT community.

“I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs,” he said.

Guercio believes Trump has not kept his promise. “For him to go back on something that was implemented a year ago, that trans-people were allowed to serve and were allowed to get their surgery and their hormones covered, it’s just outright wrong,” Gurecio said.

Guercio thinks the message Long Island should take from the demonstration is there is an LGBT community that will do everything in their power to stand in solidarity with each other.

“We’re peaceful, this isn’t angry, this isn’t something that’s even violent in any which manner,” Guercio said. “I want people to understand that we just want to live our lives, and that we want the same rights as everyone else.”

The following day protestors continued to berate Trump during a visit he made in Brentwood to the Suffolk County Police Department.

Patricia Rios was holding a sign saying she voted for Trump and regretted her decision.

“Once he comes for the ‘T’ [talking about transgendered] he’s going to come for the L, the G and the B,” she said. “So we’re here to protest that.”

Dr. David Kilmnick, CEO of LGBT Network, a Long Island LGBT advocacy group said more than just transgender military members rights were ignored this week.

“That [transgender ban] wasn’t the only thing he did to the community this week — which was big enough,” Kilmnick said. “His attorney general filed a court brief saying that Title VII doesn’t protect LGBT people from discrimination from the federal government. Having Trump here on Long Island, having Trump as president is an embarrassment, a disgrace. He doesn’t represent the values of our country of equality and justice.”

A Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released July 28 showed a large portion of the country disagrees with Trump on this position.

According to the poll, 58 percent of adults agreed transgender people should be allowed to serve while 27 percent said they should not.

Currently it’s unclear if Trump’s announcement will lead to real policy change, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford said last week the current military policy would not be changed until the White House issued further guidance.

Kyle Barr and Victoria Espinoza contributed reporting.

Math wiz Christopher Barton, from North Country Road Middle School in Miller Place, was honored by Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) at a Town Board meeting for his participation in the 2017 MathCon National Online Math Competition.

The online math competition for students in grades 5 through 12 challenges competitors to answer 45 multiple-choice, grade-level specific questions in 45 minutes. In the North-

east region, Christopher had the fifth highest score out of all fifth-graders and highest score of any child who attends a public school. The four students that finished above him all attend a special STEM school in New York City.

“Christopher’s extraordinary achievement sets a great example for his peers about how success is the result of hard work and dedication,” Bonner said. “I congratulate him on being a finalist and I’m sure that his family, friends and teachers are very proud of what he has accomplished.”

Citizen of the Year Long Island Business News honored Empire National Bank with its Corporate Citizenship Award. Presented at the publication’s annual breakfast, the event was created to acknowledge the significant contributions companies and individuals make to better the economic and social well-being of the Long Island community. The bank is the 2017 Corporate Citizen of the Year, Small Business honoree. The accolade recognizes a corporation with 100 or fewer employees for its impact on single or multiple not-forprofits through monetary contributions.

The company provided financial support to 116 local charities in 2016.

“For close to a decade Empire National Bank has been steadfast in its initial commitment to give back to the communities it

“It’s very gratifying to receive recognition from our colleagues that applauds business leadership and above-and-beyond corporate social responsibility.”

Shoreham/Miller Place

Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (DMount Sinai) attended the installation of the rain garden at the Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School in Miller Place. In conjunction with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County, the fourth-grade students planted native shrubs, flowers and grasses that will help collect rainwater from buildings, parking lots, sloped lawns and paved roadways. The plants will then trap and filter out pollutants from entering our groundwater.

“Protecting our groundwater is one of my top priorities, and should be a priority for all residents in Suffolk County,” Anker said.

“The rain garden program is a great way to educate our young students about the negative effects of pollutants on our drinking water. Thank you to Cornell Cooperative Extensions and the Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach

School for their efforts on this project.”

With the help of the Cornell Cooperative Extension, rain gardens are being planted at schools across Suffolk County as part of the stormwater management program to minimize the impact of harmful and polluted stormwater runoff. Suffolk County’s stormwater management program is a collaboration between the Suffolk County Department of Public Works, Department of Economic Development and Planning and Cornell. For the rain garden program, Cornell staff educates students about stormwater pollution and water quality through a preplanting classroom presentation that introduces rain garden concepts. The classroom session is followed by the rain garden planting. For more information or to participate in the rain garden program, please call Cornell Cooperative Extension at 631852-8660.

A Port Jefferson institution established in 1929 is set to undergo an unprecedented change, the likes of which has never occurred during its near-90-year history. John T. Mather Memorial Hospital leadership has signed a letter of intent to join Northwell Health, New York’s largest health care provider, which has 22 hospitals under its umbrella.

Prior to the agreement, Mather was one of just two Long Island hospitals unaffiliated with a larger health system.

Mather’s board considered affiliation with Stony Brook University Hospital, though ultimately decided on Northwell.

“I don’t think it’s a good decision,” State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) said in a phone interview. LaValle is a fervent supporter of the university, often publicly spotted wearing a red SBU baseball cap. “For 50 years-plus there’s been a culture in place if people needed tertiary care they would go from Mather to Stony Brook. Stony Brook will still be in place, will still offer services and people still if they choose can go to Stony Brook.”

LaValle said he didn’t know why Mather decided to go with Northwell, and members of Mather’s board declined to discuss specifics of the agreement with Northwell because discussions are ongoing. The changeover could take place as soon as prior to the end of the year.

“I would have wished that the Mather board would have been considerate of the people in their area rather than for whatever other reasons they made this decision,” LaValle said. “I don’t know whether Northwell came in with a bag of cash and that’s why they made the decision; but if they were making the decision based on the people they serve in their catchment area they would have gone with Stony Brook.”

Mather Hospital Vice President of Public Affairs Nancy Uzo, said Stony Brook was considered an option for affiliation and offered an explanation by email as to why it was ultimately spurned.

“Our goal through this process is to ensure that our communities continue to have access to advanced, high quality care and superior satisfaction close to home and to serve the best interests of our medical staff and employees,” she said.

Mather Board of Directors Chairman Ken Jacoppi and President Ken Roberts declined to comment further through Uzo. “Our community, employees and medical staff have a deep commitment to Mather Hospital,” Roberts said in a press release. “We chose a partner that would support our culture of caring as well as our future growth.”

Stony Brook University Senior Vice President for the Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine declined to comment on Mather’s decision via email. President Samuel L. Stanley Jr. did not respond to a direct request for comment nor through a university spokeswoman.

In 2016 the American Hospital Association released research suggesting hospital mergers like the one Mather is set to undertake result in cost savings and quality improvements. According to the research, mergers decrease costs due to economies of scale, reduced costs of capital and clinical standardization among other efficiencies. An analysis showed a 2.5 percent reduction in annual operating expenses at acquired hospitals. Other benefits include the potential to drive quality improvements through standardization of clinical protocols and investments to upgrade facilities and services at acquired hospitals, an expansion of the scope of services available to patients and improvements to existing institutional strengths to provide more comprehensive and efficient care.

LaValle declined to classify Mather’s decision as a “loss” for Stony Brook and added he expects Mather and the university to continue to enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship going forward.

“Stony Brook is close by and they will reach out and still try to encourage both local physicians and people to come to Stony Brook,” he said.

Concerns about the Trump presidency

Councilwoman Susan Berland smiles with a free sunscreen dispenser.

A bright idea At one Huntington beach, if you and your family and friends forgot to pack sunscreen for the day, you’re in luck.

Town Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) started a pilot program last year at Crab Meadow Beach with a free sunscreen dispenser, and this year she hopes to expand the program to 14 locations, including town beaches, parks and the town pool.

Berland is a skin cancer survivor and has made it her responsibility to educate others on the dangers of melanoma and how to keep your skin safe and healthy.

We applaud her efforts.

Skin cancer has been found in more patients than all other cancers combined in the last three decades, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon, and one in five Americans will eventually develop skin cancer.

We now know more about the risks and consequences of tanning than we did even 10 years ago. We need to be smart with our skin if we have any intention of keeping it. This program is a great step toward ensuring residents have the best shot they can at protecting their skin.

Aside from the obvious health benefits, this program is also very reasonable from a financial standpoint. Fourteen sunscreen dispensers, along with the refill packs for sunscreen, cost the town only about $1,600. Berland said that cost is lower than for some summer town-sponsored activities and events.

We encourage other towns to look into the program in Huntington, which is a partnership between IMPACT Melanoma, formerly known as the Melanoma Foundation of New England, and the town.

This organization provides education, prevention and support for the most serious form of skin cancer.

“You put your hand under the sanitizer dispenser when you leave the bathroom,” Berland said. “Why not do the same when you leave the shade and head into the sun?”

We hope that leaders in other municipalities take Berland’s lead and consider a similar program for their constituents.

President Donald Trump swept into office promising to surround himself with the best and brightest people, and that America would start winning again. I was hopeful that he would be able to “drain the swamp” of lying politicians and help to make America great again.

Sadly, his first six months have displayed little more than ineptitude and chaos.

Uncertainty and backstabbing in the executive branch, with rotating doors and public shaming — be it Sean Spicer, Reince Priebus, Jeff Sessions, Steve Bannon, James Comey or Anthony Scaramucci.

This dysfunction in the White House is not helping to deal with threats from North Korea and a planned buildup of 100,000 Russian troops along the NATO border of Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. They see the United States as weak due to Trump’s inability to control his own branch of government: • He compromised Israeli intelligence sources by divulging information to Russia.

• He has so far failed to pass tax reform or health care reform by choosing not to build consensus with moderates.

• He failed to get Mexico to pay to build a wall along the southern border.

Foreign governments are showering Trump properties with money to influence policy. For example, nearly $270,000 from the

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been spent at Trump’s D.C. hotel by a lobbying group fighting against the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, which would result in Saudi Arabia being financially liable for the 9/11 attacks.

And where is our U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin? Right by Trump’s side. He claims to be a moderate but votes in line with Trump 97.5 percent of the time according to FiveThirtyEight. com. Is he a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus of 35 Democratic and Republican moderates working to develop a health care bill that works? No, Zeldin would rather be Trump’s

spokesperson on talk shows.

Trump, with Zeldin by his side, continues to spread fear and distrust between the public and both the mainstream media and the U.S. Department of Justice. For the first time in my life, I am genuinely scared for the future of our experiment — the democratic republic we call the United States of America. If we can’t, as a general rule, trust the media and the system of justice, then our country has failed.

If President Trump and Lee Zeldin keep winning like this, I hate to see what losing looks like.

Thank you to a caring physical therapist After nearly 52 years of marriage, I lost my wife to long-term illness — lung cancer. Ten years of going to doctors every month for five straight days.

After she died, I came home one night and fell in the house, and broke two fingers. It was not so bad so I figured I could take care of it myself. I didn’t feel any better so I had a doctor take a look at it. After five weeks in a cast I decided I didn’t need physical therapy. Boy, was I wrong.

I went to a physical therapist in Port Jefferson who was well trained in hand therapy, and her only concern was the well being of her patients. After 30 weeks of physical therapy, the long road to recovery is finally over.

After talking on and off with her, I told her about the loss of my wife. She told me about losing her mother. At first she was very bitter about losing her mother. What she was going through with her mother, I was

going through with my wife. So we had a lot in common.

She not only helped me with my broken fingers, she helped me cope with the loss of my wife. The last thing I’d like to say, and Jessica don’t be mad at me for this, but if I was 40 years younger and you were not married, I would ask you out on a date. Thank you for everything you did for me.

Political parties ‘destructing’ republic I have lived in this great nation for 93 years. I am now witnessing the total destructing of our republic by both political

parties. How sad.

Our Founding Fathers now weep in despair.

“For evil to succeed is to have

good men do nothing.”

God bless America.

OpiniOn A Yankee apparition disappears to Oakland

I

wanted Dustin Fowler to succeed next year. In case you missed it, he’s the kid who came up from the New York Yankees minor league baseball system who ran into a low wall at Chicago White Sox and hurt his knee, ending his season and, as it turns out, his Yankees career before it began.

Fowler was slated to lead off the second inning of his first major league game, but, inBy Daniel Dunaief stead, was carted from the field to receive emergency medical attention.

It’s somewhere between incredibly difficult and impossible to make the major leagues and yet Fowler was good enough to be on the field.

And then, like the real person

D. None of the above

Archibald “Moonlight” Graham, who was featured in the Kevin Costner movie “Field of Dreams,” Fowler got within inches of holding a bat and facing major league pitching, when the season ended for him.

Fowler hasn’t left baseball but, as of this week, he’s no longer on the team he imagined joining. In need of starting pitching for this stretch run from now until October, the Yankees traded him as a part of a package to get Sonny Gray from the Oakland A’s.

Now, I want the Yankees to win and Fowler was a chip the team could trade to get a talent who could pitch more than five innings, and who might win important games in October.

And yet when Fowler left the Chicago field, I’m sure I wasn’t the only fan who hoped to support him a second time if and when he got another opportunity — and the Yankees needed him.

He still may get his chance with

Oakland. After all, if he was good enough before his injury, he may ride the same determination and skill on the long road back to the majors.

Over before it started, Fowler’s Yankee career will feel like an unopened or undelivered present, shipped somewhere else.

Fowler was our boy. He was drafted in the 18th round in 2013 and had worked his way up to the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. In the statistics for his career, there is a “1” next to the number of games he played in 2017 with the Yankees, along with “zeros” all the way through every other column. No doubles, triples, home runs or runs batted in for this Yankee apparition.

This is the time of year when baseball general managers have to decide between the present and the future.

What are they willing to give up in an uncertain future for a present that may be less of an unknown?

Will the A’s and now Yankees pitcher Gray be worth the price of sentiment if he wins important games down the stretch and into the playoffs?

Derek Jeter used to remain unflappable as teammates wandered on and off his team, often shrugging off questions while indicating he knew it was a business.

If that business does well, do we care that some kid who may or may not have amounted to much for our team is now playing for someone else after bouncing back from adversity?

Fowler will be the one who made it to the team, only to have a freak type of baseball interference prevent him from fulfilling his rise from Yankees prospect to Yankees player.

The A’s and their fans will now pick up the Fowler narrative, making him a part of their lore and history. No matter how things pan out, Yankee fans can wish him the best even as we wonder what that might have been as a part of the New York narrative.

Traveling daily in the footsteps of Washington and the Culper Spies

hese days, with the chaos in politics, it is no wonder that many people are showing a renewed interest in our history and the goals of our Founding Fathers some 240 years ago that define who we want to be today.

result because history is part of the glue that defines a community and strengthens its roots. Since we at the newspaper believe this, we run regular columns by local historians telling our history, and we have now just finished a full-length film, “One Life to Give,” as I have previously mentioned, about how the Culper Spy Ring started. Its premiere is scheduled for Sept. 17.

Now there is more good news to make us proud of the place in which we live. In a refreshing show of bipartisanship, two of our congressmen, Democrat Tom Suozzi of Glen Cove and Lee Zeldin, Republican of Shirley, have introduced legislation in the House to bestow upon the George Washington Spy Trail national historic status.

The spy trail is essentially Route 25A, the road that was used by the spies during the war to travel behind enemy lines between Long Island and New York City, gaining vital intelligence about the British and their troop movements and strategy. Long Island was an occupied territory, the breadbasket of food and supplies for

the British, who were headquartered in New York City. All along the trail’s about 50-mile route was the highwire danger for the spies of being discovered and hung. Indeed, the British trapped Nathan Hale, whose purported last words were about his one regret being that he had but one life to give for his country.

Washington well knew the enormous debt he owed to the spies, and to honor them he traveled in an elegant coach along the 25A route after the war in slow, celebratory fashion from Great Neck to Port Jefferson — then known as Drowned Meadow — staying at the inn owned by one of the spies, Austin Roe of Setauket.

But at that time the purpose of his trip was known only to the tiny band of spies. Spies were then thought of as lowly deceivers by the people and not at all cloaked in the glamour of James Bond.

So these courageous, remarkable men — and women, like Anna Strong — took their secret to their graves for fear of being ostracized by their countrymen. And Washington kept their secret. Only in

the middle of the last century were papers discovered by historians that revealed the bravery of the Culper Spies. Today, there are original letters written by Washington to the spies, with an addition on one by Benjamin Tallmadge, that can be viewed at the library of Stony Brook University. They were bought by Old Field resident Henry Laufer and donated to the university for that purpose.

The spy trail is the result of an intense effort over some 20 years

by Gloria Rocchio of Stony Brook and the North Shore Promotion Alliance to bring awareness of this historic road and its role in American history. A total of 26 signs, which they secured and installed, depict Washington’s coach and line his route.

A national historic designation, under the auspices of the National Park Service, would not only honor these heroes but also perhaps bring federal grant money, and not insignificantly promote tourism to help our economy.

So the Culper Spies live on and continue to serve.

SportS Jeff Salmon named inaugural national coach of the year

By Desirée Keegan Desirée@tbrnewspapers.com Jeff Salmon is an accomplished fencer in his own right, but he now he has proof that his prodigies are receiving coaching that is second to none in the United States.

The acclaimed fencer and head coach of the boys team at Ward Melville High School was named the inaugural winner of the USA Fencing High School Coach of the Year award.

“The word honor doesn’t even come close,” said Salmon, a Mount Sinai resident and owner of Mission Fencing Center in Rocky Point. “It’s a cool award, it’s an amazing honor and it makes you reflect on a lifetime of work.”

Eighteen individuals from high schools in six different states were nominated for the prestigious award.

Under Salmon’s leadership, Ward Melville’s teams have continued a winning tradition, including capturing the 2016-17 Long Island championship. The program has maintained a 158-match winning streak that ranks among the most impressive in interscholastic athletics nationwide.

“Jeff’s done so much for the kids here, but promoted the sport throughout Suffolk County, the state and the nation,” Ward Melville athletic director Peter Melore said. “Jeff’s a fantastic coach and he’s been honored in so many ways on local levels, it was time for him to be recognized at the national level.”

The Comsewogue High School graduate who originally competed in foil made the switch to sabre at Penn State University. Although he was a Suffolk County champion and Empire State Games gold medalist while he was a Warrior, the switch proved to work in Salmon’s favor.

“The Penn State team had strong foilers and could use a sabre fencer,” he said. “I was a little disappointed with my achievements in foil, so I was willing to accept the new challenge. It benefited me to switch and I adapted quite well.”

During his years as a Nittany Lion, he trained under Emmanuil Kaidanov, a fivetime U.S. national team coach and Wes Glon, an Olympic and World Championship coach.

Salmon placed in the top 12 as an individual in the NCAA championships and was one of two sabre fencers chosen for NCAA training at the German Olympic Center in 1987. He was an assistant coach for the Penn State

In 1999, by popular demand, the club became a varsity team.

His athletes are consistently among the top on Long Island, and his team has won 13 league, county and Long Island titles. Salmon has won Suffolk County Coach of the Year honors seven times and USA Fencing Long Island High School Coach of the Year three times, but this is his first national achievement, one that many said they thought was long overdue.

“I know he is one of the best coaches in the country, so it is a no-brainer to choose him,” rising Ward Melville senior Danny Solomon said. “I wasn’t surprised because I know never to be surprised by what he does. His vast pool of knowledge and understanding of the sport and his nature of innovation is everything you need in a coach.”

Solomon, who is a county champion, has also won four national championships, including at this year’s Junior Olympics, one international competition and many national and international medals. He is a two-time USA Fencing cadet team member and has gone to the cadet world championships twice.

He credits all of his success to his, at times, intimidating coach.

“I was terrified of him,” he joked. “Imagine being a seventh-grader seeing this huge, scary, bald guy flailing swords around. It would scare anyone.”

But the sabre competitor said things drastically changed over time.

“He is the reason I am the fencer I am today,” Solomon said. “He has definitely pushed me everyday. He can be both serious and friendly, but is always trying to get the best out of you.”

Soon-to-be University of Notre Dame freshman Jack Rohan agreed.

“He always tries his best to relate to his fencers to the point where he is not a coach but a friend,” he said. “He has been a huge contributor to my improvement in fencing and definitely deserves such an award.”

The sabre fencer, who joined the Patriots in eighth grade, was named All-Long Island last year after finishing with the best record in the county (35-3). He also won gold in sabre at the Jeff Wolfe Holiday Tournament.

His older sister Alexa played for Salmon, so Rohan was familiar with his longtime coach, and said he decided to give up focusing on his primary sport, lacrosse, to fence.

“On the Ward Melville team we commonly refer to him as ‘the magic’ since talented fencers may graduate, but he is always able to put together a championship-caliber team,” Jack Rohan said of the decorated coach.

Melore, who stepped in as athletic director a couple of years ago, is proud to have Salmon as part of the program.

“He’s poised, professional, smart, passionate about the sport and really good with the kids,” he said. “He’s a great teacher of the sport. A lot is done in preparation, before and

during matches, and he knows just when to give support and strategy to our athletes. It’s reassuring to have a veteran, and rapport is everything. We’re very proud he have this great program and tradition that Jeff built and I feel confident that our kids are getting taught the right way.”

Salmon said the joy he gets in seeing his students achieve their goals means more to him than any award or achievement.

“As the years went on, I found that I had a lot more satisfaction just changing the kids lives and building the confidence in them and having them grow as human beings,” he said.

“Certainly the tool is fencing, but I find that that’s been the real joy in the journey.”

He reflected on similar ideas when he gave his acceptance speech, after receiving the award from his former coach Kaidanov.

“Not everyone is going to be an All-American, not everyone is going to be an Olympian, but what we do as high school coaches is take kids that have their hat over their head, their hands in their pockets, and we have them stand up straight and be confident in themselves,” he said. “This sport is hard — really, really hard. Parents really need to understand how hard this is mentally, physically. And that little success that they had makes them the men and women that they become. It gives them the confidence to go on in life — whether they achieve great things in fencing or just get that ‘E’ [lowest fencer rating] that they’ve been wanting so badly. It’s so important.”
