A Melville man was intoxicated at the wheelof a boat in the Great South Bay in the wee hoursof the morning on July 11, Suffolk police said.Police said they stopped 25-year-old Peter
Muzic, of Melville, for an unidentified trans-gression while operating a 1988 Carver at 1:30a.m. in Bay Shore.During a field sobriety test, Muzic had “the
smell of alcohol on his breath, bloodshotglassy eyes, was unsteady on his feetand showed signs of intoxication” andwas arrested at the Maple Street dock,according to a criminal complaint.Muzic was charged with operating a
vessel while intoxicated and a second-offense charge of operating a vesselwith blood-alcohol content in excess of.08 of 1 percent, both misdemeanors.He was also charged with second-
degree criminal contempt. Police al-lege he was in possession of a 12-gauge pump shotgun on the vessel, aviolation of a May 30, 2014 court or-der directing him to surrender allfirearms.Attorney information was not im-
mediately available. Muzic was re-leased on his own recognizance and isdue back in court on Aug. 6, accord-ing to online court records.
Property owners in Huntingtonwho don’t clean up graffiti on theirproperties are now subject to thesame steep fines that are on thebooks for dilapidated houses.The town board voted unani-
mously Tuesday to give owners 10days after receiving a summons toremove the graffiti before townworkers come in and do the job. Theowners will be charged the cleanupcost, plus a $250 administrative fee.If an owner fails to remove the
graffiti or pay the town’s cleanupbill within 30 days, the propertywill be added to a graffiti blight reg-istry. The cost to register for home-owners is $2,500 and $5,000 forcommercial property owners.“If there are going to be proper-
ties that are continuously coveredwith graffiti and the owner’s nottaking care of it as they should,there will be repercussions for that,”said Councilwoman Susan Berland,who sponsored the legislation.The new proposal also expedites
the removal of hate graffiti. Vandal-ism deemed “hateful, derogatory orinflammatory toward race, color, re-ligion, disability, sexual orientation,gender, national origin or ancestry”must be cleared within three days ofa notice of violation being issued.“That’s really important to get
any kind of hate graffiti removed asquickly as possible,” Berland said.While vandalism victims must
clean up the graffiti out of pocket orpay the town’s costs for doing so ontheir behalf, crime victims will notbe charged administrative or regis-tration fees in connection with graf-fiti removal once they produce a po-lice report.
Berland said the town will alsohelp victims of vandalism recovercleanup-related costs in collabora-tion with the Suffolk County districtattorney’s office.“The town is not looking to hurt
anybody who’s doing what theyshould,” she said.Huntington Station community
activist Matt Harris, a cofounder ofthe Huntington Matters communitywatch, questioned whether the newlaw is “any different what they al-ready have.”Investing both time and money in
enforcement of the law will be crit-ical, he said.“If they don’t enforce what
The graffiti proposal, which takeseffect as soon as it is filed with thestate secretary of state’s office,largely mirrors the existing blightcode, the creation of which Berlandchampioned more than four yearsago.The blight code, which was en-
acted in 2011 and updated severaltimes to address persistent blightand vacant properties, deems prop-erties blighted when they rack up100 or more points on a violationrubric ranging from 5 to 50 points.The more serious the violation, themore points that offense is worth onthe scale.Berland is also looking to expand
the vacant home code, which wasestablished in 2014.
Legislation that would give thetown’s public safety department thepower to inspect properties to“identify and confirm, in writing,whether or not dwellings within theTown of Huntington are vacant andabandoned” will be considered at apublic hearing set for 2 p.m. onAug. 11.Inspections will be provided for
“an upfront fee, as established bythe town board from time to time,payable to the Town of Huntingtonand submitted to the Department ofPublic Safety,” the legislation reads.The town established a vacant
home registry in May 2014, and lat-er tied a 30-point blight penalty tovacant homes in subsequent legisla-tion.

Federal authorities say a Dix Hillsman and two other Long Islandersbilked investors out of about $2.5million in a “pump-and-dump”stock manipulation scheme over twoyears.The Securities and Exchange
Commission filed civil charges onJuly 14 against Mark Dresner, 59, aswell as Charles Moeller, 46, of SeaCliff, and Frank Zangara, 52, of Lo-cust Valley, alleging they pocketedtotaling $2.5 million through Eve-rock Inc., originally a Canada-basedmining company the SEC says relo-cated to Nevada in 2008 and latermerged to begin selling sandwichspreads under the Nature’s Peakbrand.According to a separate U.S. De-
partment of Justice indictment un-sealed July 14, in which Dresnerfaces one count of conspiracy tocommit wire fraud and one count ofsecurities fraud in relation to thescheme, Moeller, Everock’s presi-
dent; Dresner, the former owner andoperator of Digital Edge Marketingin New York; Zangara, the principalof B.H.I Group Inc.; and others in-volved, allegedly used the merger asa means to obtain “nearly all” ofEverock’s shares. Moeller and Zan-gara, as well as others outside ofLong Island, also face criminalcharges related to the alleged scam.Once the shares were obtained,
they were transferred into offshorebrokerage accounts by Moeller andZangara and distributed to promot-ers by Dresner and Zangara, accord-ing to the indictment filed in theU.S. District Court in Alexandria,Virginia. The promoters purchasedEverock stocks and falsely toutedthe company’s business growth andprospects through “website post-ings, email blasts and online videos”in order to generate investor interestin the company.According to the indictment, in
the summer of 2010, as press releas-es were issued detailing promotion-al campaigns they had funded, Dres-ner, Zangara and others, sold shares
to “unsuspecting investors” andreaped “substantial illegal pro-ceeds.” Dresner, Zangara and othershad the proceeds wired from broker-age accounts in the United States in-to Moneyline offshore accounts,then back into different accounts inthe United States to “hide thesource, ownership and control of the
illegal proceeds,” the indictmentstates.The scheme, which lasted from
about August 2008 to September2010, liquidated about 382 millionshares of Everock and generatedaround $3.6 million in proceeds forall of the co-conspirators, the indict-ment says.

It’s about time…After a winter that seemedto have lasted a lifetime, Long Island hit awarm-weather milestone this week. For the firsttime in two years, Long IslandMacArthur Airport hit the 90-degree mark on Monday. Nowthat’s what I’m talking about!We Long Islanders have been in need of someserious sunshine for quite a while now and I’mhoping it keeps up through the rest of the sum-mer. But just remember, folks, a little sunscreenand a nice, wide-brimmed hat never hurt any-body.
Salt water in your hair... For the first timein seven years, swimmers aged 8 to 80 can feelthat once again at the Centerport Yacht Club’sbathing beach. After water quality took a precip-itous decline in recent years, the county closedthe beach for two years – then yanked thebathing permit entirely five years ago. That was,however, until Monday. After years of work byvillage, town, county and state leaders, thebeach is open again, and to make it official, DocSpencer, Steve Bellone and Jim Morency, theformer commodore at the Yacht Club, literallyripped the “no swimming” sign out of the beachwith their bare hands. A well-deserved victorylap, I might say.

A few rules of thumb come to mindfrom those experiences – if someone offers tosend you a check for too much money, asks youto cash the check and send back the change, it’sprobably going to bounce or be fake. If someonesays that your loved one has been in a horriblecar accident and threatens grievous harm tothem unless you go right down to WesternUnion and fork over a big chunk of cash, makesure your allegedly mangled sister isn’t downthe block watching “Family Feud.” And if the“IRS” ever calls, threatening to haul you off tothe pokey if you don’t wire them a bunch ofmoney for “back taxes,” it’s probably a sham,too. Same if “PSEG” threatens to turn off thelights if you don’t cough up a bunch of money,pronto.

WHAT DON’TYOU GET?
The Swastika keeps onrearing its ugly head. Recent-ly, a swastika flag was flownover Jones Beach. A fewmonths back, some Com-mack High School kids of-fended the community bywearing swastika T-shirts andtaking pictures while grin-ning like Cheshire cats. Afreshman at the University ofMissouri at Columbia was ar-rested a couple of months agofor a swastika graffiti and an-ti-Semitic vandalism. Nu-merous other campuses havereported swastika incidents.
I fail to understand what isit that the offenders don’tget? Why is it so difficult tounderstand that the swastikais a symbol of hate, andwhile it is particularly hurtfulto Jews, it is also hurtful toany normal, rational evennon-intelligent person, Nazisaside? I am beginning tothink that the offenders justdon’t know what transpiredin the name or under the aus-pices of this “inspired” sym-bol. Were they taught theHolocaust properly in schoolor was it lumped in togetherin two days of general atroc-ities studies?Are the following statistics
taught?
1. Over 60 million peopledied inWorldWar II, a war inwhich only 10 percent werepeople of Jewish faith.2. Over 3 percent of the
world’s population waskilled in WWII.3. Approximately 12,100
civilians were killed by bru-tality and mistreatment.4. 292,131 U.S. soldiers
were killed in battle – 87,000more than in the Civil War.5. More than 60 counties
had to inform their citizensthat their loved ones had diedin battle that Hitler started.Do you know why Hitler
chose the swastika symboland the red, white and blackcolors?
In his 1925 work, “MeinKampf,” Hitler writes: “Imyself, meanwhile, after in-numerable attempts, had laiddown a final form; a flagwith a red background, awhite disk, and a blackswastika in the middle. Afterlong trials I also found a def-inite proportion between thesize of the flag and the sizeof the white disk, as well asthe shape and thickness ofthe swastika.”When Hitler created a flag
for the Nazi Party, he lookedto incorporate both theswastika and the red, white,and black colors of the oldGerman Empire. He alsostated in “Mein Kampf”: “AsNational Socialists, we seeour program in our flag. Inred, we see the social idea ofthe movement; in white, thenationalistic idea; in theswastika, the mission of thestruggle for the victory of theAryan man, and, by the sametoken, the victory of the ideaof creative work.”Hitler believed in racial hy-
giene and that there is a dan-ger of racial mixing which
comes from the close prox-imity of races. He chose theswastika symbol specificallybecause he believed that theAryans of India from whomthe swastika came from werethe early white invaders.Because of its use by Nazi
Germany, the swastika sincethe 1930s has been largelyassociated with Nazism andwhite supremacy in mostWestern countries. As a re-sult, all of its use, or its use asa Nazi or hate symbol is pro-hibited in some countries, in-cluding Germany. In theUnited States, while it is notillegal to wear or display, it isconsidered offensive.I firmly believe that there
needs to be more hours inevery school dedicated to ed-ucating children about thehistory of fascist regimes,and the Holocaust, in partic-ular. Our children need tohear what went wrong andmore importantly, how toprevent Hitlers in the future.

Opinion‘Not the types set up by the printer return their impression, the meaning, the main concern.’
AHuntington councilwoman, objectingto a use variance granted by the town’szoning board of appeals, has proposedlegislation that would close what shecalled a loophole that allowed the proper-ty’s developer to take an easier route.Susan Berland claims the zoning board
should have deferred to the town board onan application that would puta Home Goods store onRoute 110 in Melville, be-cause there are existing covenants and re-strictions on the property. Imposed by aprevious town board, those restrictionscan only be modified or lifted by a townboard vote.The zoning board chairman didn’t ar-
gue that point. In fact, he pointed out tothe applicant that approval of the use vari-ance did not give the project a green light,and the restrictive covenants would haveto be lifted by the town board.Berland’s proposed legislation would
require the zoning board to defer to the
town board when “it becomes necessaryto rescind, modify, vary or interpret acovenant or restriction imposed by thetown board.”We’re not sure it’s necessary.If Berland and the community she is
representing feel the zoning board actedillegally, the appropriate legal remedy is
in the courts. In this specificcase, the property owners willstill have to go before the town
board to have covenants modified, andwhen that time comes, we’re sure the op-position will make itself heard. In anycase, the new legislation can’t undo theHome Goods store application.Covenants and restrictions imposed on
a property are often industry-specific andlifting them may be no problem when adifferent use for a property comes along.Either way it’s a town board decision.There’s no reason to tamper with existingcovenants before it’s even known whethera project could proceed.

It was the early 1940s, in the midstof World War II, and both the UnitedStates and Nazi Germany were bar-reling down a road headed towardcreating the deadliest weapon everknown to man.Melville’s Meyer Steinberg, now
91, was one of the people whohelped create it as part of the top se-cret Manhattan Project. The projectproduced the atomic bomb and ulti-mately sided the war in favor of theAllies after the U.S. unleashed twobombs, “Little Boy” and “FatMan,” respectively on Aug. 6 andAug. 9, 1945 on Hiroshima and Na-gasaki, Japan. While the bombingskilled more than 246,000, they alsoended World War II and effectivelysaved “a tremendous amount oflives,” he said.“We knew that fission was actual-
ly discovered in Europe, so we werein a race with Nazi Germany. Wewere very much concerned that, ifHitler got it first, it would have beendevastating,” he said.Steinberg’s commitment to the
Manhattan Project started a little morethan a year prior to the bombings.Hailing from Astoria, Queens,
Steinberg joined the Army Reserveafter graduating with a bachelor’sdegree in chemical engineeringfrom Cooper Union in Manhattan inJune 1944.Just 19 years old, Steinberg be-
gan work in New Jersey inspectingnickel-plated pipe for the KellexCorp., a division of the M.W. Kel-logg Co. that the company specifi-cally created for the ManhattanProject. After inspection, the pipewas sent to Oak Ridge, Tennessee,to be used in assembling the K-25uranium enrichment facility. Stein-berg soon followed the pipe andwas assigned to perform fluid-flowcalculation in Oak Ridge to helpbuild K-25, where the fissionableUranium-235 was isolated to create“Little Boy.”In early 1945, the engineer moved
to New Mexico and continued work-ing on the Manhattan Project at LosAlamos Laboratory. Steinberg
worked to isolate Plutonium-239,which is also fissionable and the keyingredient to “Fat Man.”“We had a change of clothes every
day, had to wear masks and workedthrough glove boxes,” in order tostay safe, he explained. “We madeenough material there to make thefirst bomb.”The first test of a nuclear weapon
was carried out in Alma Gordo,New Mexico, on July 16, 1945, justsix says after Steinberg’s 21stbirthday. That test bomb wasdubbed “Gadget.”Now nearly 70 years after the
bombs were dropped in Japan,Steinberg believes the act was a
necessary evil. The world, he said,needed to see the effects of nuclearwarfare.
“It showed how terrible this isand how it should never be usedagain,” he said.Steinberg said he’s had several
veterans of the war thank him for hisinvolvement in the project. To thosemen and women, Steinberg effec-tively saved their lives.“If they would have had to invade
Japan after taking theMarshall Islandsand others, there would have been agreat slaughter,” Steinberg said.A member of the U.S. Army’s
Special Engineer Detachment,Steinberg was discharged in June
1946. Three years later, he earned amaster’s degree in chemical engi-neering from the Polytechnic Insti-tute of Brooklyn.In 1950, he married Ruth Elias,
and six years later the couple movedto South Huntington.In 1953, Steinberg became a certi-
fied chemical engineer and, after astint with Guggenheim Brothers, hejoined Brookhaven National Labora-tory in 1957. He worked for the lab-oratory for the next 40 years, becom-ing a senior chemical engineer andhead of the process sciences divisionin the laboratory’s department of ap-plied science.

Huntington’s town board agreed tofloat nearly $10 million in bonds tocomplete funding for the 2015 capi-tal plan, a package that cementedfunding for two parks in the HalfHollow Hills community.This year’s capital program in-
cludes $1.6 million in bonds for theBurrs Lane Park on a 5-acre portionof the former Erb Farm on BurrsLane in Dix Hills, and $1.8 millionfor Sweet Hollow Park on 8.2 acresthat were once part of Meyer’s Farmat the intersection of Old Countryand Round Swamp roads inMelville.The bonds were approved by a 4-1
party-line margin. Councilman GeneCook voted against all but one bondproposal for $500,000 to cover pre-liminary costs and preparation of en-gineering plans and specificationsfor the James D. Conte CommunityCenter at the former Armory on East5th Street in Huntington Station.“This is for the children, and we
should be doing everything we can toget the children of Huntington Sta-tion a nice youth facility and to getthat moving along,” he said.But Councilwoman Susan Berland
faulted his rationale, arguing that, inthe same breath, he was votingagainst Burrs Lane and Sweet Hol-low Parks, which would also benefitchildren.“We also have made promises to
communities about park improve-ments... which we promised thesecommunities we would build, andthey’re looking for their children and
children of the entire town,” Berlandsaid.Cook argued that several bonds
approved on July 14 were for vehi-cles and computers for which inter-est payments would continue longafter their useful life had expired.Expenses like those should be han-dled through the town’s annualbudget, he said.“When we start kicking the can
down the road we’re kicking it down
to our children, our grandchildren. Ibelieve it’s poor fiscal responsibilityto do that,” Cook said.His board colleagues disagreed
with his critique.“We also retire debt as we’re doing
this. And, as we bond, we’re usuallybonding for a better rate than we’reretiring,” Supervisor Frank Petronesaid. “It’s what keeps the town’s fi-nances where we are. It’s what keepsour bond rating where we are and
what gives us the AAA rating andreputation in terms of being a class-A town financially.”Councilman Mark Cuthberston
said that the town’s “well-manageddebt” is a sign of Huntington’s fiscalstrength, and that bonding allows thetown to maintain critical infrastruc-ture affordably. CouncilwomanTracey Edwards called it “a neces-sary part of financial management.”Other bonds approved July 14 in-
clude: $2.29 million for the SouthHuntington water district to rehabil-itate a standpipe at Plant No. 14; $1million for new water meters in theGreenlawn Water District and$400,000 toward a $725,600 projectto rebuild the district’s administra-tive building; $190,000 to replace ro-tating biological conductors for usein the Huntington Wastewater Dis-posal District; $225,000 to buy bulktrash trucks and packer bodies forthe Consolidated Refuse District;$35,000 to prepare plans and designsfor the proposed Project Helix andGIS Integration; $100,000 for theresurfacing of athletic courts;$200,000 for improvements to theCrab Meadow Pavilion; $200,000for townwide computer equipment;$200,000 for vehicles and equip-ment; $250,000 for improvement totown facilities and buildings;$300,000 to resurface various park-ing lots; $300,000 for new traffic sig-nals and related traffic-calming im-provements.“We can’t finance water district
improvements and various otherthings out of operating funds. It’s notprudent; it’s not prudent fiscal man-agement,” Cuthbertson said.

for members of the Challengerlacrosse program, which is open to allathletes regardless of physical or cog-nitive disabilities, to come together ina day-long tournament to compete andenhance their social and athletic skills,while also promoting awareness, tol-erance and acceptance for childrenand young people with autism.With the help of their parents, Alli-
son and Paul, Hills vs. Autism hasraised more than $75,000 for localautism programs.“The Quinto family has made it
possible for hundreds of talentedyoung athletes to enhance their skills,both on and off the field,” Stern said.
“I congratulate Drew, Corey, Allisonand Paul on the fourth anniversary ofthis commendable event, but most im-portantly, I thank them for the oppor-tunities they have given so many inour communities to rise above chal-lenges and meet their full potential.”

Libraries across Suffolk haveteamed up and launched a $90,000television and radio marketing cam-paign showcasing the county’s un-sung money-savers.“The library really is a way to
save a lot of money. You don’t needsubscription services, you can sim-ply connect to the library and haveaccess to thousands of movies,books and educational resources,”said Helen Crosson, director of HalfHollow Hills Community Libraryand one of the people who helpedspearhead the advertising push. “Allyou need is a library card.”The effort was born out of a pitch
by Ron Greenstone and ChrisNehlen of Bohemia-based Green-stone Marketing. Crosson ran withthe idea and got all of the 55 mem-bers in the Suffolk Cooperative Li-brary System on board. Collectively,the group contributed $90,000 forthe campaign, which began airingon local television stations and onradio stations earlier this month,Greenstone said. Nearly 1,000 spots
are set to run over a three-month-long period, he added.“As we got together, it became
clear that some people don’t knowhow to use the library,” said Green-stone, owner of Greenstone Market-ing. “Even people with library cardsjust ‘didn’t know’ what was avail-able to them.”“I didn’t know that” quickly be-
came the natural launching point forthe campaign, said Nehlen, of ColdSpring Harbor. The campaign fo-cuses on informing people of theentertainment and educational re-sources available to those with freelibrary cards.“We believe that a family could
save literally thousands of dollarsper year by utilizing everything
that’s very in the library,” Nehlensaid. He cited opportunities such asyoga and fitness programs, lan-guage classes and tax services.While tens of thousands of people
on a daily basis are already makinguse of these services, there are stillmore that library officials would likesee make use of the county’s book-filled “gems,” said Debra Engel-hardt, director of the ComsewoguePublic Library and head of the Suf-folk libraries marketing committee.“We’re anxious and exited to
bring more people on board,” saidEngelhardt, who is the former Hunt-ington Public Library director.The campaign’s ambitions stretch
further than just Suffolk, Crossonsaid.“I Didn’t Know That” is a push
she’d like to see move into the stateand national levels. While stillmonitoring its success in Suffolk,she said, Crosson be working withthe American Library Associationto put together an instructional we-binar to educate other librariesacross the country on how the “IDidn’t Know That” campaign wasassembled.
The Suffolk County Library System, which includes the pictured Dix Hills branchof the Half Hollow Hills Community Library, recently began a three-month broad-cast and marketing campaign.

Al Salese is all about making surehis customers leave his restaurantshappy. He certainly has the experi-ence to know how to do it.At Eatalia, Huntington village’s
only family-style Italian restaurant,he’s calling on 32 years of experiencegained at Junior’s Pizza in Halesite toleave ‘em smiling.“People have been
loving the con-cept,” he said.“People whoknow the con-cept knowwhat to expect.People that don’tknow what it’sabout are thrilled.”Salese’s brother, Frankie, founded
Junior’s in 1982, and Al took thewheel in 1984 after graduating col-lege, bringing in his younger brother,Mark – who now owns Almarco upthe road – as a partner.“We’ve built a nice clientele.
We’re able to do a lot of our adver-tising right in-house,” Al Salese said.“When you can rely on your reputa-tion, it does give you a leg up.”At Eatalia, large, sharable plates
are served in a sleek, yet homey, din-
ing room that marries muted grayand slate colors with rich blues andbrick accents as designed by AlSalese’s daughter, Alyssa.Plates like the beet salad ($18 fam-
ily style, $14 solo) entice with amedley of mixed greens, goat cheeseand walnuts topped with balsamic.Adding protein to the selection ofseven salads have been a popularchoice, especially with gym patrons
next door. Family-sized pas-tas, like the Shrimp
Fra Diavolo lin-
guine ($29/$22) leave atingle on your tongue with spicytomato sauce, al dente pasta and per-fectly prepped prawns. Start withpolpetini ($14), mini meatballmorsels perfect for dipping house-baked sea-salt Italian rolls and focac-cia barese.Fried calamari ($21) is another
standout starter. Traditional favoriteslike linguine in clam sauce ($24/18),penne Bolognese ($22/$17) andeither chicken Florentine or Marsala(both $29/$22) are must-haves we’retold by the staff, and we will givethem a try in a future visit.That doesn’t mean there isn’t plen-
ty to enjoy for the solo diner. Classicchicken parmesan heroes ($8.75)come in home-baked ciabatta andtoasted in the pizza oven for a satis-fying crunch. Panini and wraps “selllike crazy,” Salese said. Take one biteof the juicy roasted pork panini($8.50) and you’ll understand why. It
starts sweet with grilled onions andfinishes with a little spicy kick, aselection reflective of their efforts tostep up the panini game in town.Already, they’re off to a fast start.
Their opening night on May 31 wasa fundraiser for Walt Whitman HighSchool graduate Ann Marie Cortina,who is battling cystic fibrosis anneeds a lung transplant.Eatalia has hosted six parties in the
past month in its party room, whichholds 35, and Salese said people arealready jockeying to book the spacefor holiday parties.A liquor license is on the way for
those who like a little libation withtheir linguine, and when football sea-son arrives, so too will seasonal spe-cials. A bar menu is on the way in themeantime.
For those on the go, the front of thehouse is perfect for fast-casual dining,and the $9.99 lunch special offersgenerous portions of many favorites.If you don’t see your favorite, ask forit and Salese will right-size it for$9.99 and pair it with soup or salad.It’s another way of doing family-
style dining – treating the customerslike family.

GourmetWhalerToBeOn ‘TalkStoop’

The Gourmet Whaler is getting itsclose-up.After its July 4 grand reopening
following a complete makeover, theiconic Cold Spring Harbor gourmetmarket hosted film crews onMondayfor NBC’S “Talk Stoop,” whichfilmed scenes there and at other lo-cations on Monday for an upcomingCold Spring Harbor feature.Gourmet Whaler business partner
Denise Chin said she wasn’t quitesure how the show’s representativesfound the restaurant, but she’s grate-ful they did.“They just called us and asked if
we could use the place,” she said.The film session came after a bit of
a whirlwind year for the restaurant,during which owner Shawn Leonardput the Whaler on the market. Ulti-mately, Leonard, a 55-year residentof Cold Spring Harbor, only soldhalf and took Chin on as a partner inlate April.Chin, a chocolatier and a pastry
chef who owns Dreimaker Choco-lates in Farmingdale, has since put anew spin on the place while holdingto tradition.“I was renting the counter right
there all winter. He was going to sellthe store,” Chin said. “I talked himinto staying with me and he boughtinto the partnership.”After the Whaler shut for renova-
tions in the spring, Chin and the crew
revamped the interior, with weath-ered wood walls and the feel thatyou’re lounging at the dock, over thenext two and a half months.“We have mermaids. We have the
whale – we’re staying with the nau-tical theme,” she said. And our serv-
ing sizes are also whale-sized.Everything is big here – big andbeautiful.”Then again, hospitality and food
might just be in Chin’s blood. Askedhow she got into chocolate, her an-swer is succinct: “I’m Greek. We
need to feed people, and we likesweets,” Chin said, with a laugh.“Tom Carvel – Carvelas – is Greek.Dove chocolate is Greek. Many,many old-fashioned ice cream shopsare run by Greeks. We need to dothat. We can’t help it.”
Denise Chin, who became a business partner at The Gourmet Whaler in Cold Spring Harbor this spring, stands at the newcoffee and smoothie bar during their July 4 grand re-opening.

Dave Mason wrote his music towithstand the test of time. Across themore than five decades that hisdiscography spans, the co-founder ofthe acclaimed English rock bandTraffic can safely say he’s met thatgoal, with a rock and roll catalog thatsounds just as fresh as the day eachsong was unveiled.On July 25, he’ll bring that sound
to The Paramount with the TrafficJam tour.“The show has essentially become
a musical traffic log of my life, fromwhen I first got started all the way upto today,” said Mason, originally ofWorcester, England.Mason started Traffic in 1967 at
just 18 years old. A year later, hepenned and performed one of theband’s biggest hits, “Feelin’Alright,”which was later covered by severalmusicians, including Joe Cocker in1969.To this day, the song plays a key
part in the singer-songwriter and gui-tarist’s performances.“When I was writing that song I
was writing the simplest thing Icould come up with. I wasn’t think-ing much past that. So the fact thatit’s been covered by over 50 majorartists and is probably played by just
about every garage rock band isamazing,” he said.Originally conceived as a folk rock
tune, “Feelin’ Alright” serves as anexample of how Mason’s songs havestayed fresh.“That song is so open to interpre-
tation,” he said. “Today we play it assomewhat of a funk song.”And “Feelin’Alright” is just one of
several Traffic songs that Mason re-calls with the tour. Others include theband’s hits, “Dear Mr. Fantasy,”“You CanAll Join In” and more. Ma-son also incorporates his extensivesolo discography to include hits like“Only You Know and I Know,” “WeJust Disagree” and his cover of BobDylan’s classic, “All Along TheWatchtower.”That final song holds a special
place with Mason as, not only doeshe still perform his cover at shows to-day, but he also played a part in JimiHendrix’s own cover of the song.Hendrix first heard Dylan’s song at aparty that he was invited to by Masonin 1966.“That night we recorded at
Olympic Studios,” Mason said. “Istill play my version of that song to-day, it’s probably the most-requestedsong by audiences.”To embark on the musical adven-
ture with Mason and band membersJohnne Sambataro, Alvino Bennett,and Tony Patler, tickets are availableat the box office or at paramount-ny.com for $24.50-$59.50. Doorsopen at 7 p.m. on July 25. The showis scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

“We’re seeing them now in lieu oftraditional cigarettes. We had gottencomplaints and concerns aboutthem,” he said.The legislation, which goes into
effect as soon as the bill is filedwith the secretary of state’s office,brings town policies in line with the
county, which has since late 2012banned vaping at its parks andbeaches.In addition, the county has re-
stricted the sale of e-cigarettes –which contain nicotine but not to-bacco – since 2010 to those of theminimum legal of 21. County lawprohibits the use of e-cigarettes in
any indoor public place wheresmoking is banned.Pro-vaping advocates have ar-
gued the electronic devices are saferthan tobacco cigarettes and could beused as a smoking cessation aid, butother experts, like but Dr. StephenDewey, director of the Laboratoryfor Behavioral and Molecular Neu-
roimaging at the Feinstein Institutefor Medical Research, warnedagainst that. In a May 14 Long Is-lander News report, he said researchindicates that vaping weakens thebody’s immune response.Impacts of second-hand vapors
remains largely unknown, Deweyadded in that interview.

the town board for a zone change, and said theproposal does not meet muster for the use vari-ance it was awarded. By giving the variances, thezoning board created a situation where the pro-posed use conflicts with covenants and restric-tions that the town board placed on the property.Berland’s proposal would require the zoning
board to defer to the town board when “it becomesnecessary to rescind, modify, vary or interpret acovenant or restriction imposed by the townboard.” The applicant would be then directed toapply to the town board for that determination.“The covenants and restrictions on that proper-
ty were imposed by the town board, and the townboard should have first jurisdiction on that,” shesaid. “It turns out there is some loophole that theytook advantage of, and that allowed ZBA to say,‘Well, we’ll do this what we want.’”In a July 14 letter to the town board, Mod-
elewski denied that the board’s decision was outof order, and said the board was clear with the ap-plicant as to their powers and the fact that they
needed to take subsequent steps to have thecovenants listed.“I do recall pointing out to the applicant’s
counsel at the hearing that as a matter of law, theZoning Board of Appeals could give no relief re-specting the recorded covenants,” Modelewskisaid in the letter. “The applicant’s attorney un-derstood this and did not argue the matter. TheZoning Board of Appeals has never, to my knowl-edge, acted in excess of its lawful jurisdiction;and for so long as I serve the people of Hunting-ton as its chairman, it never will.”Modelewski said that it’s been the board’s pol-
icy to defer to the town board when corollary ju-risdiction exists, such as in the cases of coastalconstruction permits and buildings in a historicdistrict.The Home Goods case, Modelewski said, ap-
pears to be unique.“This instance, on town board covenants, I
don’t know if I’ve ever seen one before,” he saidIt’s also the board’s policy, he said, to defer to
the town board in those cases and when they are
specifically asked to wait. No such request wasmade in this case, he said; Berland, however, saidthat such a request was made by way of a March31 planning board memo.A hearing for the proposed amendments will be
held at Huntington Town Hall, 100 Main St., at 2p.m. Aug. 11.

ect, Gray said.“Karp is remaining and growing
and wishes to remain in SuffolkCounty and specifically in the Townof Huntington,” Gray told the zoningboard of appeals July 16.Karp came to Melville in 2012 af-
ter the state acquired its Maspethproperty through eminent domain.After pledging to create 108 jobs aspart of an incentive package with theIDA, Karp now employs 135 inMelville, Gray said.“Somebody’s got to make them,
right? Might as well make them on
Long Island,” ZBA Chairman ChrisModelewski said.Founded in 1956, Karp’s roots
date back to 1925, when Karp Met-al Products was founded in a smallgarage in Brooklyn. The originalplant in Maspeth was 5,000 squarefeet; expansions in 1958, 1963 and1989 grew the plant to 32,000square feet.Known for its use of robotics in its
state-of-the-art manufacturing ef-forts, Karp’s robotics departmenthas three robotic systems called“cells,” and each cell producesdoors at a rate of 400 to 500 percent
faster than humans. More thanthree-quarters of the 75 percent ofall Karp doors are produced inKarp’s robotics department.The firm also emphasizes environ-
mentally-friendly practices, incorpo-rating recycled materials and using apowder paint system which creates ahigh-quality door finish without us-ing damaging solvents.

Councilwoman Susan Berland and ZBA ChairmanChris Modelewski are in disagreement over vari-ances given to Home Goods for a proposed Melvillesite. The dispute spawned legislation which will beheard at town hall on Aug. 11.
Steinberg’s research eventually brought him to in-dulge in carbon dioxide control technologies, as ap-plied to the global greenhouse problem caused bythe burning of fossil fuels.“I started back in the ‘70s, when very few people
were looking at this,” said Steinberg, who co-au-thored a book detailing methods and potential meth-ods of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. “It was anatural development in my career since I was work-ing on energy and environment.With more than 500 publications and 38 patents to
his name, Steinberg retired in 1997. Ruth died in2009. The couple had two sons, Jay and David. Stein-berg remarried in 2012 and now lives in Melville withhis wife, Phyllis Simon.Steinberg still carries a little piece of the world’s
greatest secret along with him each and every day –one that he believes is helping to keep him healthy.“Plutonium has a half-life of 23,000 years, and it’s
like calcium in that it gets in the bones and stays inthere,” he said.Even though it’s a small amount, Steinberg said his
body has been measured to contain more than 10,000times the average amount of plutonium.“There are two theories of radiation. One states that
any type of radiation is no good for you. Then, there’sanother that states… a small amount could actuallybe beneficial to you,” he explained, stating the secondtheory is known as hormesis. “Well, I’m 91 now andI’m a believer.”
