That’s why local, county ancPstate officials—and this newspaper—are asking residents to take som e tim e over the next few days or so to be ready when and if Hurricane Earl strikes our area. Here are a few questions th^tvgan help. What would the im pact on your life and your business b e jf the power went out for a few days? yVhat about in your home? D o you have a supply j&f canned goods and fresh water? Have you checked that you have enough batteries for flashlights, if needed? Have you prepared an em ergency and “Go Kit” in the event you need to evacuate? D o you have a chronically ill or handicapped fam ily member liv ing with you who requires special m edication or has other special needs? D o you have enough m edication on hand? These and other questions are important for every fam ily to review as Earl gets ready^to barrel down on us.

The M uslims have the right to practice their religion, but with that right com es the responsibility to do it compassionately. To place a m osque near Ground Zero is far from being compassionate. Feelings o f fam ilies who lost loved one have not been taken into consideration by the president, the mayor and the M uslims. These devout people should show som e com passion with actions. Move on and find another location.

Babylon Village officials find cash; earn public’s trust Dear Editor: On FrL, Aug. 6 , 1 left Chase Bank on M ain Street, with m y cash and quarter order. Through m y haste and negligence, I dropped $400 in sm all b ills next to m y parked car. On arrival back at m y business, The Seabreeze, I discovered the loss and went back to the bank, when I returned to where I parked, the m oney was gone. I went into the bank and was handed the m oney I had lost that was turned in by mayor Ralph Scordino and Anthony Davida, trustee. I would like to acknowledge these two gentlem en w ith m y utm ost gratitude. I think we have cornered the market on honest public servants here in Babylon Village.
