October 2 1 ,2010, BEACON NEWSPAPER • 3 V ietnam W all replica com es to o u r a rea There was a unexpected silence as students from West Islip walked through the Dignity Memorial on the grounds near the West Islip Library. The only sounds that could be heard were the chirping o f birds, the shuffle of hundreds of sneakers on the wooden , platform, the flapping o f flags, and the hushed tones of the Vietnam veterans who talked about the Memo rial to the students and told them some o f the stories behind the thousands o f names listed there. Beneath the wooden platform o f the replica, for ex ample, is the Purple Heart o f a young man who died for his country. It was donated by his family to help make the Wall an even more meaningful living me morial. It replicates the sentiment of a veteran who placed his Purple Heart in the concrete on the Wall as it was being constructed in Washington D.C. Carved on the wall are names o f fathers and sons, men and women o f all creeds and color and from all walks of life and each corner of the country. They share one thing in common. At some point in their lives they decided to serve their country and in doing so gave up their lives for the cause o f freedom. “The veterans who are giving these tours are a wealth of information and can bring these thousands o f names to life,” said Charles Spencer o f Boyd-Spen- cer Funeral Homes who was instrumental in bringing the Dignity Memorial to Long Island for the second time. In 1995, the Wall was displayed in Babylon. Honoring Veterans of the Vietnam War and All U.S. Servicemen and Women, the Dignity Memorial* Vietnam Wall is a traveling, three-quarter scale rep lica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washing ton, D.C. The faux-granite replica stands 240 feet long and eight feet high and is inscribed with the names o f more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. The traveling monument has been displayed in more than 200 cities across the country, allowing mil lions o f visitors to experience the healing power o f the memorial. The Dignity Memorial network of funeral service providers created the replica.

The first is on an application of Michael Gadaleta o f Middle Island to open and operate a Seafood Restaurant at 117 Deer Park Avenue, a location that formerly housed a Thai restaurant. The second is to consider the adoption of Local Law #1 of 2010, which, if passed, would add a section in the Village’s storm water management code. The new law would set down penalties for the illegal discharge o f water into streets and storm drains. “The Village has a provision, which was copied from the Town’s code,” explained Village attorney Joel Sikowitz. “This change would bring the Village into compliance with new New York State DEC codes and strengthen the law.” Illegal discharge could include emptying pool wa ter with chlorine into the street or dumping con taminated water or toxic chemicals into storm drains. Restrictions will also be placed on new construction, which will be required to have on-site drainage. “This will include homeowners and businesses,” said Mayor Ralph Scordino. The hearings will be held in the Village court room beginning at 7 p.m. In other village news, the board: •authorized the Mayor to apply for a grant to the New York State Unified Court System for up to $30,000. The funding, if approved, will be used by the Village to update the Village’s court system, which could include purchasing new computers and/or pro grams, other equipment and furnisjfimgs; •thanked all the volunteers ana Village workers for their part in making the weekend o f Oct. 9 8c 10 such a success.
