A roomful of veterans and lawmakers gathered in North-port on Monday morning to salute the signing of two new Su� olk County bills aimed at protecting veterans and the pub-lic against acts of stolen valor.

County Executive Steve Bel-lone (D) signed the legislation, which was spearheaded by Leg-islator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport), into law. One of the bills makes it illegal for individuals to fraudulently rep-resent themselves as decorated veterans to members of the public in order to solicit dona-tions or obtain money, property or other bene� ts. � e law makes it a misdemeanor punishable by a � ne of up to $1,000 and/or one year in prison.

� e second law imposes sti� er requirements on veteran non-pro� t groups that solicit dona-tions in Su� olk County. Such groups will be required to dis-seminate � nancial information to the public about how their fun-draising dollars are being spent.

� e laws were born out of a joint e� ort of many veter-ans, Spencer said, namely John Cooney, the commander of the Northport American Legion Post 694 and Tom Kehoe, for-

A Huntington man who admitted to hu� -ing an aerosol cleaner before getting behind the wheel on New Year’s Eve in 2013 and broadsiding a 63-year-old Commack wom-an’s car, ultimately killing her, was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison on Friday, ac-cording to the Su� olk County DA’s o� ce.

State Supreme Court Justice John Col-lins sentenced James Murphy, 20, in River-head on April 17 a� er what DA spokesman Bob Cli� ord described in an email last week as an emotional courtroom scene. Family members of victim Herta Palma at-tended the sentencing.

Murphy pleaded guilty on Feb. 26 to sec-ond-degree manslaughter, second-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. He was

remanded to the county jail following his February plea.

On the day of the fatal crash, Murphy was driving a Chevy Blazer north on Com-mack Road when he sideswiped one car and ran a red light at the intersection with Hauppauge Road, according to an April 16 statement from the DA’s o� ce. Murphy’s SUV broadsided the Hyundai sedan Palma was driving. Palma died soon a� er at Hun-tington Hospital.

District Attorney � omas Spota said Murphy told cops at the scene of the crash in 2013, “I was driving the white Blazer. I’m not going to lie to you o� cer. I just inhaled a can of Dust O� and threw it in the back of my truck.”

He also told o� cers he took Xanax and smoked hash a couple of days earlier.

Kings Park Board of Education in-cumbents Charlie Leo and Diane Nally said they will seek another term on the board, while newcomer Kevin Johnston threw his hat into the race with hopes of snagging a seat after the May 19 election.

Charlie LeoLeo, who serves on the board as vice

president, said he was seeking another term because of a pleasant experience with the district, and to make time to tackle several different issues in another term.

One of his goals is to bring tablets into the school, which he said would re-duce costs by going paperless. He also would like to work on reducing class size throughout the district, he said.

“I am running for re-election because I see that it matters,” Leo said. “Local government is very important and there is still work to be done.”

One of the heated issues that has been brought up at board meetings over the last few weeks has been the voice parents feel the board is lacking when it comes to standardized testing.

Leo said he fully supports the district parents’ right to opt their children out of the English Language Arts, science and math standardized tests that come from the state Education Department.

“It’s a parent’s choice to opt out,” Leo said.

Diane NallyNally has held the position of trustee for

three years and is seeking re-election to take on some unfinished business, she said.

“I am seeking re-election because it has been a pleasure serving the Kings Park community as a trustee,” Nally said. “We have a great district and community.”

The trustee has been very vocal about the need for a librarian at the district’s two elementary schools. Currently, there is no librarian at Park View and Fort Salonga elementary schools and that is something Nally would like to change.

“There are many issues that still need to be resolved,” Nally said. “I would like

to be a part of that. I have a lot to offer.”Nally said there are many issues with

public education and she would like to be an advocate for the district if re-elected. She also said she would like to tackle low-ering class size on the elementary and secondary levels.

Kevin JohnstonJohnston is currently a teacher at

Kings Park High School and is hoping to gain a seat on the board this summer.

The English teacher is retiring in June and said he is hoping to take his new-found time and put it toward helping the community by serving on the board.

“I still want to put out the best education while recognizing the ability of the commu-nity to fund this education,” Johnston said.

Johnston said he has inside experi-ence that he can bring to the board as he not only lives in the community but also taught within the district for 34 years.

If elected, he said he would like to work on technology improvements and lower-ing class size. He also said he would look for other sources of funding including an alumni committee and grant funding.

“I understand the need to raise the high bar in education for college readi-ness,” Johnston said. “As a board mem-ber I feel I can have a stronger voice in promoting Kings Park education.”

The father of two Kings Park High School graduates said the district does a very good job educating students but he believes “we can do a better job if I’m on the school board.”

ment options, success stories, hope and advocacy.

“This event is a collaborative effort between Families in Support of Treat-ment, Thomas’ Hope and Kings Park in the kNOw,” said Timothy Eagen, super-intendent of Kings Park schools.

The event opens at 5:30 p.m. and the fair begins at 6 p.m. in the Kings Park High School cafeteria. The program will then begin promptly at 7 p.m. in the Kings Park High School auditorium. — Phil Corso

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) Does Not Need to Disrupt Your LifeAlmost one in every four women in the United States have some sort of pelvic floor disorder such as pelvic organ prolapse, and more women are likely to be affected as the population ages. Jennifer Hill, MD, a urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, part of North Shore-LIJ Health System, discusses what you need to know about this condition.

What is pelvic organ prolapse (POP)?Pelvic organ prolapse refers to the prolapse (drooping) of any of the pelvic floor organs such as the bladder, uterus, vagina, small bowel or rectum. These organs are said to prolapse if they descend into or outside of the vaginal canal or anus.

Are there different types of POP?There are several different types of prolapse. These include:• Cystocele — a prolapse of the bladder into the vagina, the most common condition• Uterine prolapse — a prolapse of the uterus into the vaginal canal• Vaginal vault prolapse — prolapse of the vagina• Enterocele — small bowel prolapse• Rectocele — rectum prolapse

What are the risk factors?Risk factors for POP include difficult deliveries, a family his-tory of POP, obesity, advancing age, a prior hysterectomy and conditions that chronically increase intra-abdominal pressure such as asthma, chronic cough or constipation.

What are the symptoms?Many women do not have symptoms and do not require treatment. However, urinary and bowel urgency and fre-quency, vaginal bulging, and pelvic pain and pressure are all common symptoms of prolapse that may be very bothersome to the patient.

What treatments are available?Many women with POP can manage their symptoms conserva-tively with pelvic floor exercises to tighten and strengthen the pelvic floor, high-fiber diets to prevent constipation, reaching and maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding activities that stress the pelvic muscles, such as heavy lifting.

If conservative management fails, and the pain and discomfort are still present, you may want to consider having surgery for the condition. Often, more than one of these types of surgery are needed at the same time. The types of surgery available include:• Cystoscele repair — for bladder prolapse• Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) — for uterine prolapse• Rectocele repair — repair of the rectum• Enterocele repair — repair of small bowel prolapsing into the vagina• Vaginal vault repair — suspension of the vaginal vault• Closure of the vagina — for severe procidentia (all pelvic organs protruding from the vagina)

If you or a loved one has symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, call (516) 734-8500 today to make an appointment with one of our urologists in Suffolk County. For more information, visit NorthShoreLIJ.com/Smith.

Commack district responds to students’ offensive shirtsBy Phil Corso

The Commack School District took to the community over the weekend and hosted an interfaith meeting addressing offensive T-shirts two high school students were seen wearing on social media.

The district said on its website last week that pictures surfaced on social media from an off-campus house party during spring break showing students sporting anti-Semitic T-shirts. The pho-tos launched a media frenzy, sparking the district to follow up with an inter-faith meeting with local clergy at its high school on Sunday.

“This has been a difficult week due to the actions of a handful of Commack High School students, and the subsequent me-dia maelstrom and community outcry,” the district said in a statement. “We un-derstand the concerns expressed by many individuals and groups, and are as equally appalled by the actions of these students.”

In September, the district disciplined five high school students after pictures of them wearing inappropriate T-shirts surfaced on social media. A statement on the district’s website at the time outlined the incident, which occurred during the

last period of classes on Thursday, Sept. 18, when Commack High School seniors assembled on the bleachers of the varsity field for the annual senior photo.

Soon after the photo was taken, another picture was posted on Twitter of five smil-ing male students in T-shirts spelling out “rape,” with a sixth pretending to be bound by the wrists.

Educators, parents and students gath-ered outside state Sen. Ken LaValle’s Mount Sinai office Tuesday with one clear message: They won’t forget he voted “yes” on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s budget when it’s their turn to vote in November 2016.

Nearly 100 people rallied in front of the North Country Road office of LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), holding signs letting the senator and the community know they were upset he voted in favor of a portion of the 2015-16 state budget that amended the teacher evaluation system, lengthened the time before teachers can gain tenure

and created new designations for failing schools.

Beth Dimino, president of the Port Jefferson Station Teachers Association and a John F. Kennedy Middle School teacher, said her association and other groups coordinated the protest to show the senator they don’t take his vote lightly.

“The purpose of this rally is to remind Mr. LaValle that his vote in favor of Mr. Cuomo’s budget and anti-public educa-tion agenda will be remembered by the parents and taxpayers in the November elections,” Dimino said.

LaValle, who was in Albany at the time of the protest, was just re-elected to his

20th term in the Senate and will be up for election again next year.

He said in a statement Wednesday, “We improved on what the governor put in his budget proposal and I fully expect we will continue to fix the education piece, with the final result addressing parents and educators concerns.”

April Quiggle, a Port Jefferson parent, said she came out to show how disap-pointed she is in the senator she always supported.

“I feel betrayed by him,” Quiggle said. Not one person at the rally was without

a sign. Young children also held signs.Miller Place resident Erik Zalewski,

who teaches in the Middle Country school district, said LaValle and other politicians who voted in favor of the governor’s re-form sold out educators and kids.

“It seems money is more important than the children,” Zalewski said.

Lucille McKee, president of the Shore-ham-Wading River Teachers Associa-tion, joined in to let everyone know she is tired of non-educators making deci-sions about education.

Halfway through the rally supporters broke out in a cheer: “Ken LaValle you let us down, Ken LaValle you let the students down, Ken LaValle we will not forget!”

Many parents at the picket said they tried numerous times to reach out to the senator by phone and email and never heard back.

Hundreds of cars drove by as every-one protested on the corner of the road. Drivers honked, gave thumbs-up signs and cheered, letting the protesters know they supported them.

Smithtown Eagle Scout enshrines 9/11 steel

John “Jack” Esposito was celebrated for achieving the esteemed rank of Eagle Scout at his recent Court of Honor.

For his Eagle Scout Community Service Project, Esposito designed, built and installed an outdoor memorial to encase a piece of steel from the World Trade Center at the Town of Brookhaven Volunteer Firefighters Museum. The memo-rial will serve as a permanent remembrance of all the lives lost on September 11, 2001. This project was very meaningful to Esposito, whose father and uncle are both firefighters in New York City as well as Eagle Scouts.

Legislator Robert Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) attended Esposito’s Court of Honor. “Jack has demonstrated he is capable of responsibility and leadership by completing the tasks necessary to become an Eagle Scout. He achieved this dis-tinction and award prior to the age of 18, and this accomplishment is one that he will have for the rest of his life. He is an inspiration to others,” said Trotta.

Photo from trotta’s office Smithtown Eagle Scout Jack Esposito is surrounded by his proud parents, Nancy and John Esposito; Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy (R); and Suffolk County Legislators Robert Trotta and Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset).

Police allege a young man drove drunk, blew through a stop sign and crashed into a house early on Saturday morning, causing extensive damage.

The suspect, 20-year-old Gerard Te-gins, was driving a 2002 Hyundai SUV south on Harrison Avenue in Miller Place when, at about 2:30 a.m., he passed a stop sign at the corner of Parkside Avenue without stopping, according to the Suf-folk County Police Department. Tegins then lost control of the SUV, went across several lawns and crashed into the living room of a house on Parkside.

Police said no one in the home was injured, though the residence suffered extensive damage.

The driver was treated for minor inju-ries at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, police said. He had been the only one in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Tegins, a Port Jefferson Station resi-dent, was arrested and charged with

driving while intoxicated, speeding, reckless driving, running a stop sign and failing to stay in a lane.

The defendant’s attorney, Commack-based Michael Alber, did not immediately return a call for comment.

Man drives SUV into house in alleged DWI

Mugshot from SCPDGerard tegins is charged with driving drunk and reckless driving after his SUV crashed into a house on Saturday.

Local charged with reckless driving, traffic violationsClifford said Murphy told the

court today that he made “bad choices.” And Murphy’s attorney, Christopher J. Cassar of Hunting-ton, said in an interview on Monday that his client was “very remorseful.”

“He indicated that when he gets out [of jail] he hopes to lecture men and women to the use of these types of inhalants, and buzzed driving is just as serious as drunk driving,” Cassar said.

Cassar said that Murphy was given an indeterminate sentence, which means a parole board will decide after some time when he will be released.

Clifford also said that Palma’s son, Joe Palma Jr., spoke to the court as well, saying, “As a family we have already been given our sentence. A life sentence of pain and grief from the loss of a mother taken much too soon for no good reason.”

“All of our lives have been forever altered. We will never be the same.”

Clifford said Herta Palma’s daughter-in-law, Mary, also spoke, saying that the victim had visited

her Commack home that after-noon, reminding the family to be safe on New Year’s Eve. Palma was staying home on New Year’s Eve be-cause she lost a friend years ago in a drunk-driving crash.

“We actually spoke of it, obvi-ously not knowing as she drove away that her life was going to be taken within nine minutes of her leaving my home,” she said, according to Clifford. “As she was pulling away, she was waving with her big smile at me, blowing kisses. … I hold on to that memory every day.”

In his statement, Spota called on the New York State Legislature to include intoxicative inhalants to current statutes that make driving under the influence of a drug illegal.

“It is well-established science that people who abuse inhalants experi-ence intoxication, muscle spasms, a loss of coordination, hallucinations and impaired judgment — and it is also a fact that for many teenag-ers, inhalants provide a cheap and accessible alternative to alcohol,” he said. “It is time New York State treats inhalants as intoxicating sub-stances so prosecutors can charge offenders with driving while im-paired by drugs in the first degree.”

In order to raise funds to continue 23 years of preparing a warm and nutritious meal to those in need, the Invited INN soup kitchen of Rocky Point will host a walk-athon this Saturday, April 25, at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Island in Manorville.

Every Thursday, volunteers at the soup kitchen cook for anywhere from 40 to 70 people who come seeking a fresh-cooked meal and the companionship that comes with eating together. According to Invit-ed INN’s Director and President Carol Moor, the soup kitchen has a “no ques-tions asked” policy on who gets served.

“We don’t check income or anything like that, some people come just for the company. Anyone who shows up gets a meal,” she said. “Everyone who comes is treated with dignity and respect.”

According to Moor, the guests of the Invited INN are a diverse group, including seniors and families with young children, as well as single adults. Although housed in the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, the soup kitchen is ecumenical and any and all faiths are welcome to dine.

The INN, which stands for Interfaith Nutrition Network, is a nonprofit that provides food, shelter and support ser-vices to Long Island residents.

Moor said she helped start the soup kitchen more than two decades ago when she was chair of social ministries at Trinity.

“The church recognized a need for a soup kitchen,” she said. “We had the pantry, but we needed something more.”

The very first meal prepared at the In-vited INN was served to just six people.

“It’s really grown since then and it’s been very successful,” Moor said. “Peo-ple aren’t aware that people in their com-munity need this kind of help.”

This is the seventh year the soup kitchen will host the walkathon, the only formal fundraiser it does throughout the year, according to Moor.

“You get a lot of bang for your buck doing a walkathon, and we tend to do very well,” Moor said. “The shrine is a beautiful place to walk and we make some money so it is really a win-win.”

Registration for the walk will begin at 10 a.m. and Moor said walkers can walk as many or as few times as they want.

Every penny earned Saturday will go directly to providing the food prepared each Thursday. Running with no over-head and completely by volunteers, any donations the INN receives throughout the year goes solely toward buying food to prepare the weekly dinner.

Donated food items come from orga-nizations such as Long Island Cares and Island Harvest, but the bulk of Invited INN’s monetary donations come from private donors: the congregation at Trin-ity, as well as from the Rocky Point Lions Club and the Rotary Club of Rocky Point.

Rotary member Tom Talbot said his or-ganization’s intent is to provide help and that they enjoy giving to the Invited INN.

“The volunteers are very nice people who are so grateful for our help,” Talbot said. “They run a very important facility in Rocky Point.”

Talbot, who volunteered at the soup kitchen as a pot washer for 10 years, said the people who eat there enjoy the meals.

“They are usually very satisfied with the food and it gives them the chance to be social too,” he said. “Some of them come early to make sure they get the same seat they have been sitting in for years.”

Trinity’s pastor Jeffrey Kolbo said that although the Invited INN is essentially a free hot meal program, he has found that it provides much more than that.

“For those who live on a limited income, money saved by eating each week at the In-vited INN can be spent on other necessities,” he said. “For those who live by themselves, a night out at the INN breaks the tedium of eating alone. Our volunteers know this and do what they can to build community and feed those who come for our meals.”

If you are interested in participating in the walkathon or sponsoring a walker, contact Moor at 631-744-8686.

Heldberg, Lynch lead Bulls over North Babylon

The connection between Mackenzie Heldberg and Natalia Lynch goes as far back as kindergarten, so when one of the junior midfielders gets the ball, the other is confident that her best friend can finish the job, the girls said.

“When I look up, I know she’ll be

there cutting and I know she does the same for me, so I think that’s the best friend thing,” Heldberg said of the con-nection. “We knew we were going to have to play hard, so it feels really good to take away the win.”

Smithtown West head coach Carie Bodo started off by addressing her previ-ously 5-2 team before the game and tell-ing them that it was a game of possession.

“Win the draw and take smart shots,” she said.

Her team did just that, as the Bulls topped the previously second-ranked North Babylon, 16-9.

In the first 10 minutes of the first half, Smithtown West rattled off six un-answered goals, with Heldberg tallying a hat trick and an assist, and Lynch add-ing a goal and an assist, before North Babylon scored its first goal.

“I think my team really came out with a lot of fire and we really wanted this, so it feels great to win,” Lynch said. “We knew that this game was really im-portant to us, so once we got that lead, it really helped us.”

North Babylon managed to score just two goals before the halftime break, while the Bulls scored four more to break out to a 10-3 lead.

Heldberg remained strong on the draws, and gaining that possession at midfield proved to be the game-changer for Smithtown West.

“I think it’s a big aspect for posses-sion and I think everyone is good at getting the loose ball of the draws, even in the air like Natalia [Lynch] did a few times,” Heldberg said. “I put them up to her and I know she’s going to get them, and having [Addie Stapleton] behind me helps, too.”

North Babylon scored the first two goals of the second half, but Smithtown West countered with another six-goal tare, with Heldberg and Lynch connecting for two of them, to bring the score to 16-5.

“We played together since second grade and ever since our first year to-gether, we would always look for each other,” Lynch said. “She’s amazing on

the draws and always knows where to put it to get it to me and sees me when I’m open, and I think that helps a lot with the connection that we have.”

North Babylon went on a 4-0 run to end the game, but the team’s comeback effort fell short.

Heldberg lead the team with five goals and two assists, while Lynch finished with two goals and four assists.

“I like passing it to my players,” Lynch said. “I have a lot of confidence in them when they get opened.”

Senior attack Kaitlin Unser and soph-omore midfielder Kayla Kosubinsky finished with two goals and two assists apiece, and sophomore attack Chelsea Witteck tallied a hat trick in the win.

“We did exactly what we said we want-ed to do,” Bodo said. “We wanted to fast break to them and we’re definitely a fast break team, so as soon as we win the cen-ter draw, we book it and it goes in.”

Once Smithtown West realized that North Babylon’s Ally Kennedy was the team’s scorer, after she scored the first six of her seven goals, the Bulls were able to isolate her and protect their lead.

One of the Bull’s greatest benefits came from multiple girls getting their names on the score sheet, with seven girls tally-ing goals and nine getting at least a point.

“If one of our girls get hurt or someone is having an off-game, someone else can step up, because everyone can score,” Lynch said. “There’s not one girl that is a weakness on the field and I think that’s a great thing.”

Chief Ric Bruckenthal. The village police chief lost his son, Nathan Bruckenthal, a U.S. Coast Guardsman, who was killed in a terrorist-suicide bombing in Iraq 11 years ago this week.

“Why are we here today?” Bellone, who is also a veteran, said. “Because the notion that someone would step forward and put them-selves out as a veteran of this country in order to raise money to benefit themselves is an absolute disgrace and it is something that we cannot under any circumstances tolerate. And it’s a disgrace when you have young men like [Nathan] Bruckenthal, who has family who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country and you have men like that all across our country.”

Nonprofit groups seeking to solicit do-nations on behalf of veterans must register with the county’s Veterans Services Agency before doing so, and that process would be enhanced under this new legislation. Those groups would now have to submit infor-

mation on how the funds they’ve raised benefited veterans, and they would need to provide a slew of new documents, including federal and state tax returns and the names of the group’s board of directors. The Office of the Suffolk County Comptroller would work with the Veterans Services Agency to review the information, and the agency would ultimately decide whether to approve or deny an application.

Individuals would be barred from fraud-ulently representing records of military service, and anyone who makes mention of their military service must provide, upon demand, proof in the form of credentials or identification of their veteran status. The Veterans Services Agency can deny or re-voke a group’s registration certificate if it’s deemed that someone from the group vio-lated the federal Stolen Valor Act.

“This is a great example of veterans com-ing together and working with our com-mitted legislators to provide and protect,” Cooney said. “To protect the valor and the integrity of those who have served. And to ensure that funds go to those veterans that legitimately need assistance.”

Saving our swansTo ThE EdiTor:

Early last year, the department of Environmental Conservation released a plan to eliminate mute swans from New York state. Fol-lowing a barrage of public protest, mostly in the form of letters and emails, the dEC retracted its original proposal. Last month, a revised proposal was released, and the dEC awaits your response.

once again, your local Four harbors Audubon Society chapter is opposed to the plan, and we urge you to oppose it as well. Whereas the new proposal alludes to taking a “regional ap-proach,” its ultimate goal remains the same throughout the state: total elimination of mute swans.

An estimated 1,600 mute swans live in the Long island-metropol-itan NYC area, based on pre-win-ter counts last taken in 2011. The actual population after this severe winter may be much smaller.

This number has remained stable for nearly 30 years. Mute swans live in concert with other waterfowl, and are cherished by countless visitors to public and private parks throughout our area

here are the basics of the plan:1. The current population of an

estimated 2,200 mute swans in NYS will be reduced to 800, with minimal numbers in tidal areas. The majority of Long island’s swans live in tidal waters.

2. The populations will be reduced through several meth-ods. dEC methods of reduction include: live capture, euthanasia, and established hunting seasons on tidal water swans, termed “shooting of free-ranging swans.”

3. There will be no more cygnets — baby mute swans — in the state. All eggs laid by mute swans on Long island will be “addled,” or shaken to disrupt tissue attach-ment, and/or oiled — sprayed from overhead. The result? Embryos are permanently damaged, cease to develop, and/or embryos suffocate inside the oiled shell. Secondary consequences? oil leakage into tidal wetlands, local parks and ponds, and onto otherwise healthy feathered birds and furred animals.

4. Adult swans will be per-mitted in municipal parks and private areas, only under new terms of “regulated posses-sion.” According to these new dEC specifications, “Measures are needed to ensure that those swans do not reproduce or leave those areas.”

5. All municipal and private parks — for example, Avalon Park & Preserve in Stony Brook — will need to apply for dEC permits to keep adult swans under conditions that the adult swans be flightless; that is, clipped — a procedure that must be done more than once per year — or “pinioned.” Pinioning is surgical removal of bones at the wing joint, rendering the swan permanently flightless.

6. Maintaining flightless, nest-barren swans in licensed public/park areas “will require commitment of funding ... from those who wish to see non-lethal options used,” because dEC will use “non-lethal methods” only where “practical and timely.” in other words, private or munici-pal funding must be available to maintain any swans.

The dEC was criticized ex-tensively last year for failing to provide valid scientific evidence for removing mute swans from our area, and it failed in this

second report to do the same. The data used, both in the last report and in this one, is generally dated, non-regional, inconclusive and invalid. Conclusions regard-ing swan population impact were overwhelmingly speculative, rather than substantive.

Still dEC remains on the same course, to eliminate the mute swan from our state.

We will not be deterred. No part of this so-called new pro-posal is satisfactory. indeed, the practice of pinioning is revolting to say the least. Let’s be clear: Pinioning maims an otherwise healthy flight bird. To consider this cruel and inhumane practice as the preferred means of keeping adult swans in our region insults our sensibilities as citizens, and undermines the integrity of the dEC proposal.

Please do your part to save our swans. if nothing more, please write one sentence: “i oppose the dEC mute swan plan,” with “Swan Plan” in the subject line. Address your email to: [email protected]. The deadline is this Friday, April 24, so immediate action is required. Thank you.

EDITORIALWe can do better

You know you’re from Long island when …1. You drive your car everywhere, including

just up the road to the drug store or 7-Eleven. There is a car in your driveway or garage for every person in your house.

2. You water your lawn and plants even when it has recently rained because it’s on a timer and you just left it.

3. You pass at least one dead animal lying on the side of the road every day.

4. You have access to delicious foods imported from all over the country and the world.

5. You live in a terribly wasteful society.Earth day gives us time to reflect on what we

do every day that affects the environment, both here on Long island and the nation as a whole.

We burn up gas for every small trip we make, when we could walk or bike if we weren’t so rushed or lazy. We waste water by taking long showers or leaving the faucet on as we brush our teeth. We flush pills down the toilet or use a paper cup for coffee every morning or unnecessarily go through a ton of plastic shopping bags.

Almost all of us are guilty of at least one of these things, which all put strain on Mother Earth. But this is the only home we have — for now — so we should get our heads in the game.

Please join us in thinking about the impact of our everyday actions on the environment and make a commitment to cut out or reduce just one of those negative actions year-round — not just on a day like Earth day.

A small change blazes the trail for larger ones, so it’s a good place to start.

Twin experiments in space

In the course of a month, two events have occurred that, perhaps some time in the next

several decades, may help people make that incredibly long jour-ney to Mars.

First, Scott Kelly went up in space. OK, so, that’s not such a shocker. Kelly is an astronaut and that’s what astronauts do. What makes Kelly’s trip different, how-

Do we negotiate with Iran or not?

D. None of the aboveby DaNiel DuNaief

ever, is that he plans to spend an entire year at the International Space Station, setting an Ameri-can record for the longest time away from Earth.

Kelly’s identical twin Mark, a retired astronaut and husband of former Congresswoman Gabri-elle Giffords, will of course spend that same year on Earth. Having identical twins in two places for the same period of time presents an incredible opportunity. Mark is in reality the “control” in the experiment, giving NASA, doc-tors and anyone else interested in the effects of prolonged periods of time in space an opportunity to see how the two brothers react differently to different environ-ments. Identical twins present that rare opportunity to rule out the nature part of the nature-nur-ture dynamic.

Some day, the information NASA records from the Kelly twins will help us understand the kinds of preparations necessary to safeguard any would-be space

traveler from the harmful effects of higher radiation and no gravity for a journey to Mars that by cur-rent technology would take some 250 days. After all, our genes have evolved over thousands of years to life on Earth. Just be-cause we’ve figured out to send ourselves deep into space doesn’t mean we can suddenly fine-tune the gift of our biological systems the way we might raise a heat shield on a space module.

A month after Scott Kelly re-turned to the ISS, where he’d spent considerable time on pre-vious missions, a team of scien-tists, led by Javier Martin-Torres, a Spanish researcher who is a professor in Sweden and used to work in the United States at NASA, published a study based on a year’s worth of meteorologi-cal data from the Red Planet.

As it turns out, Martin-Torres and his team have determined it is highly likely Mars has liquid water — today. It’s not enough water to open a super-exclusive

pool club or to plant a couple of dozen grape trees to cultivate a deep-space vineyard for the elite and refined palates of the world’s wealthiest wine lovers.

The scientists recorded read-ings through the Mars rover Cu-riosity of water that likely evapo-rates during the Martian day and forms again during the cold night as perchlorate salts melt any fro-zen water vapor.

This study, Martin-Torres sug-gested, may have implications for planetary protection policies. The Committee on Space Research may look carefully at places where spacecraft couldn’t land on Mars out of concern that any vehicle might contaminate the planet by introducing new organisms.

The presence of water speaks to us because it makes up more than 60 percent of our own bod-ies. Water also is a key element to life on our blue planet, raising the question about whether life, even in the form of small microbes, could use it to survive.

This Martian water, however, isn’t exactly a refreshing stream. It’s probably up to three-and-a-half times as salty as the water in the Dead Sea, Martin-Torres said.

The saltiness, radiation and numerous other factors make that water inhospitable to life, even on a microbial scale.

“The conditions are terrible,” admitted Martin-Torres. Still, “it’s better to have water than not to have it.” Besides, while it’s likely that any life on Mars would struggle to survive in that water, “nature always surprises us.”

Our genes have evolved over

thousands of years to life on Earth.

To negotiate or not to ne-gotiate, that is the ques-tion. At least that is how

our mealtime conversations in the last week started on the subject of a possible treaty with Iran. It is a polarizing issue, and almost everyone I’ve shared a meal with has had a strong opinion on the matter.

“Don’t trust them. They can-not be held to any agreement they sign. Are we listening to what Su-preme Leader Khamenei is saying or do we think it’s all rhetoric to rally his right wing?”

Peace is an almost universal

yearning.

between you and me

by leah S. [email protected]

“We should definitely negotiate with them and at least try to post-pone the production of a bomb in that volatile part of the world. We’ll be able to know if they are reneging because we have satel-lites and Israel has spies all over the country,” is another perspective. “What harm can negotiations do?”

“What harm? What is it that brought the Iranians to the negoti-ation table to begin with? The eco-nomic sanctions are having a real effect on their country. They just want us to lift them and to achieve that, they will agree to anything for now,” comes the retort. And so the back-and-forth goes.

This time in our 21st century has been compared, rightly or wrongly, to Munich and the Nev-ille Chamberlain agreement with Hitler over the fate of Czecho-slovakia in 1938. Chamberlain was prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1937-40, as Hitler was ramping up his aggression, and he desperately wanted to keep peace and stability within Europe. To that end, he is widely remem-bered for his attempt at appease-ment of Hitler with the Munich Agreement that both men signed.

Chamberlain had worked hard to get that treaty, traveling to Ger-many three times to meet with the dictator before bringing back that paper, along with the words, “peace for our time.” Although Czechoslovakia was effectively sacrificed in the deal, most of the British population, including King George VI and Queen Eliza-beth, were ecstatically happy that Chamberlain had brought at least the possibility of peace to them.

One who objected strenu-ously was, we know, Winston Churchill, who declared that England had been offered a choice between war and shame at Munich. She had chosen shame, he continued, and will get war. Indeed, Churchill felt that by Chamberlain’s drift and sur-render to Hitler’s territorial de-mands, the prime minister had almost fatally delayed the need for Britain to arm and to pull together European allies. Cham-berlain had also seemed to Hit-ler as being weak. “Our enemies are small worms,” Hitler later scoffed. “I saw them at Munich.”

Peace is an almost universal yearning; only aggressors want

war. Can we condemn Cham-berlain for striving to guarantee peace — or President Obama for that matter? While the world stage is not exactly the same now as in 1938, we know that Iran has fueled proxy wars in an aggres-sive attempt to increase its power in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia had launched bombing missions to push back Iran, and the United States has moved ships off the Ye-men coast in an attempt to thwart arms shipments getting into ter-rorists’ hands. Overhanging the horror of slaughter and brutality is the real prospect that Iran is on the threshold of developing a game-changing atom bomb, much as Germany was during World War II.

When von Ribbentrop, Hit-ler’s foreign minister, objected to the Munich Agreement that Hit-ler had signed, pledging no fur-ther hostilities once he annexed Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland, Hitler responded with, “Oh don’t take it so seriously. That piece of paper is of no further significance whatever.” Now as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry lays out the terms of a possible agreement

from the negotiations, Khamenei has stopped short of endorsing them. When Chamberlain was admonished by Churchill to arm Britain in the face of coming war, the prime minister refused to do so wholeheartedly because he feared that Hitler would think he was walking away from the Mu-nich accord.

Yes, let’s negotiate. And let’s remember the key to any suc-cessful pullback is President Ronald Reagan’s famous line: “Trust, but verify.”

Let’s also remember that we broke the back of the Soviet Union by winning an economic war, de-spite the fact that both sides had the bomb. The Iranians are at the negotiating table because the eco-nomic sanctions are hurting — or like Hitler, they are merely stalling for time. Finally, we have learned what Chamberlain did not: That a well-armed and advanced nation is the best deterrent to war.
